My team is deep into an
investigation of
strange phenomena

inside this crumbling fort.

[both]
Holy [bleep]

[Josh]
On the storm battered
gulf coast.

[Jessica]
There's not a single spot in
this entire fort,

that doesn't come
with a story.

[Josh]
Mounting evidence...

Look at that.

Look likes we might be
right on top of it.

[Josh]
sends Phil and Jess on an epic
search for answers.

[speaking]

[Josh]
I call in reinforcements

World class ghost hunters from
Kindred spirits

Amy Bruni and Adam Berry.

[Amy]
I think we've got a lot of
ground to cover.

We have work to do.

There are so many
spiders here.

[Amy]
Oh, my God.

Do you what this round object
is on the ground?

[scoffs]

That's crazy.

Ooh, I've got goosebumps.

[Josh]
It's an investigation that
could end in disaster.

[speaking]

[Jessica]
Pick out the line.

[Josh]
Can they exhume the secrets?

-Are there other people
with you?
-Hundreds.

[speaking]

[Josh]
My name is Josh Gates.

In my travels I have
experienced strange things
that defy logic

and made me
question everything.

Oh, my God!

Now, I've put together a team
to investigate the stranger
side of the unknown.

Let's go!

Phil Torres is a scientist,
who hunts for
rational explanation.

[speaking]

Jessica Chobot's paranormal
research has made her
a true believer.

[speaking]

Together we're searching
for answers...

What is that?

To the world's most
extraordinary mysteries

This is Expedition X.

My team has been investigating
historic Fort Morgan,
in costal Alabama.

A civil war era stronghold of
brick and granite.

[Phil] Woh! Can't imagine
what this would be like in
a heated battle.

[Josh]
Nearly a 1000 deaths have been
documented within these walls.

There have been reports of
people saying that
they've heard voices,

[indistinct voices]

[Josh]
Could there be
discontented spirits,

still roaming in this
old battle ground?

[speaking]

What did you see?

Our video cameras captured an
eerie figure we can't explain.

[both]
Holy [bleep]

And that's just the beginning.

[Jessica] Memory of
Lieutenant Colonel
Charles Stewart

Charles are you here?

This is where you were killed?

What the [bleep]?

Did that just come out from
one of the ceilings?

-[Jessica gasps]
What the [bleep]?
-[Phil] Ooh.

[bell dinging]

Did you hear that bell?

[Phil]
The boats I see, all look like
they're miles away.

[Jessica]
Are there any bells
on those buoys?

We would hear 'em and I'm not
hearing anything like that.

So, why dist we
just hear?

The wreck of the Tecumseh
is right out there.

Maybe this haunting
extends past the fort.

[Josh]
You think there's more work
to do

out of the fort and now
out of the water?

I would suggest expanding
the investigation.

You're talking about a lot
of territory to cover here.

You guys might need
some back up.

-I have an idea.
-Okay.

I know two great paranormal
investigators of the east cost

You both know Amy and Adam
from Kindred Spirits?

-Yeah.
-I love them.

This is right up their alley.
Let me call them,

and see If I can get them
to come down there and
lend a hand.

Perfect.

In the meantime Jess, I would
dig into more of the history
of the Tecumseh.

See if you can learn more
about who is on board.

If you really think there's a
connection to those bells,

see what you can uncover.

Sounds good. I'm on it.

I'll look into the permissions
for getting up to that wreck.

Thanks Josh,
we'll get in the water.

-Bye.
-Good luck.

[Josh] We're widening our
investigation to cover
Mobile Bay.

Just offshore
from Fort Morgan

is the final resting place
of the Tecumseh,

the union ship that went down
in battle and took 93 sailors
with her.

[Phil]
So, I'm taking to the skies to
see if from the air,

we can get eyes on this
infamous wreck, and it
won't be easy.

[both speaking]

[helicopter whirring]

The wreck lies only 30 feet
below the surface.

And to this day, it's the
graveyard for the sailors who
died when she went down.

[speaking]

The Tecumseh has
war grave status,

which means the wreck can't be
approached without permission

from the Secretary
of the Navy.

So, only a handful of the
researchers have been allowed

to dive over the
past six decades.

[speaking]

[Josh]
In the water's directly below,

on August 5th 1864, the battle
of Mobile Bay began.

The USS Tecumseh,

is a 223 foot long
iron clad warship.

Just after the battle starts,
the Tecumseh hits
an underwater mine,

and sinks in less than
30 seconds.

Carrying 93 men
to their watery graves.

[speaking]

[Jessica]
While Phil drives to get the
bird-eye view of the Tecumseh,

I wanna find a little more
about the souls that were lost
when she went down.

So that I can reach out
to them,
during the investigation.

I'm meeting with John Gurner.
A military historian,

specializing in
civil war era combat.

He tells me that Tecumseh went
down, when it hit a torpedo.

The torpedo field is actually
what we would consider
a mine field today.

Yes, underwater mines.

[John]
But now, she's been hit.

Already lifting a little bit
to one side.

She starts to go forward down,

and then starts to spiral.
Almost like she turns in the
side and goes straight

and just... Straight down.

[Jessica]
John gives me a list of the
names of all 93 sailors

that were lost.

But he tells me that the
battle of the
Mobile Bay,

didn't end with the sinking
of the Tecumseh.

After the Tecumseh goes down,

Admiral David D. Farragut
starts giving the commands
to move the ship.

And someone asks,
sir, what about torpedoes?

He said, well,
"Damn the torpedoes,
full speed ahead."

-Or for bells.
-For bells?

For bells.

[bell dinging]

-Do you hear that bell?
-Oh, I hear that bell.

That's the command to make
the ship maximum speed
possible.

[dramatic music playing]

[speaking]

[Phil] I let Michael Panck,
specializes in aerial surveys
of historic battles sites.

He points out the
Tecumseh's location.

Only about 300 yards offshore.

[speaking]

[Phil]
Recent storms here have
churned up the ocean floor.

But unfortunately the Tecumseh
is still not visible
from the air.

She's likely buried under
several feet of mud.

To make matters worse,

what I can see from up here
is the condition of water.

Muddy, churning, terrible.

If Josh pulls through with
permission to dive the ship,

I'll need sonar to locate her.

But for now, It's time to head
back to Fort Morgan.

Our reinforcements
have arrived.

[Josh]
Amy Bruni and Adam Berry are
both highly respected

paranormal investigators.

Between them, they have over
three decades of experience
seeking spirits.

I had the pleasure of working
with them a couple
of years ago,

when we investigated ghostly
reports on the Queen Mary.

[Jessica] If just turn that
flash light on, and then
turn it back off.

-[Jessica] All right.
-Get out of here.

-Yeah.
-[both chuckle]

Every time you ask it to turn
on and off, it's turning on
and off.

-Hello there.
-Hi, guys.

-Welcome to Fort Morgan.
-Thank you.

Hey, we can see why
you need our help.

[Jessica]
Yeah. This place is massive.

There's not a single spot on
this massive fort that doesn't
come with a story.

Adam and Amy are experts not
just at determining whether a
place is haunted.

But also discovering why
a spirit is lingering there.

Adam asked our producer Brian
to look for a relic
from the fort

that we can use as our
trigger object during
our investigation.

-What is that?
-This is... This is a
cannon ball.

From a war.

-[Phil] How much does
this thing weigh?
-[Brian] 32 pounds.

We can use it as
our trigger object.

[Jessica]
A trigger object is an item
that's emotionally relevant

to a place or an entity.

And might encourage a response
from a spirit.

I got it.

-You're the one with
the muscle, so...
-Yes.

[Jessica] We'll begin
tonight's investigation in
Bastion four

where last night,
we experienced
a strange sequence

of events
while trying to reach out

to Lieutenant Colonel
Charles Stewart,

the fort's commander during
the civil war.

Stewart was tragically killed
when a misloaded
canon exploded.

[cannon fire]

We had some signs of contact
from him the other night.

So maybe now, this civil war
era cannon ball

will provoke him
into speaking to us.

I believe it's his spirit
haunting this fort.

Let's just see
if anybody's here at all.

[Jessica] Okay.

We'll start by trying
to record EVP's.

Which stands for electronic
voice phenomena.

Recording devices can capture
sounds that are outside
the range of human hearing.

The nice thing about
this recorder
is it is voice activated.

So it doesn't record unless
it hears a voice.

So if you get a response
after a question.

you know that there was some
sort of sound
that triggered it.

Even if you don't hear it.

[Phil] Jess, Amy and Adam
are hoping to pick up
phantom voices.

But I believe there's a more
logical explanation

for the sounds
that have been reported.

Just as face pareidolia fools
off brain enticing faces
in random objects,

auditory pareidolia tricks
the mind into hearing words
in random sounds.

This fort with its stone
walls and odd angles

could amplify wind,
dripping water
or crumbling rock.

I think those noises might
be what people misinterpret
as paranormal.

It is best you
just be as silent as possible.

[Amy] If there's anyone here
who is non-living...

we'd love to speak with you.

We're looking for somebody
who is in charge.

Is your name Charles?

If there is a message that
you're trying to get across?

If there's someone you want
us to contact for you,
this is your chance.

Do you know what this round
object is on the ground?

Do you recognize it?
Can you tell me
the name of it?

Let's listen and see
if anybody answered us.

[recorder playing]

[Amy through the recorder]
If there is a message that
you're trying to get across?

If there's someone you want
us to contact for you,
this is your chance.

[indistinct chatter]

-What was that?
-That's crazy.

[Amy through the recorder]
If there is a message that
you're trying to get across?

If there's someone you want
us to contact for you,
this is your chance.

[indistinct chatter]

-It was like a, duh-duh-duh.
-Yeah.

-Sounds like Julia.
-[indistinct chatter]

[Amy] Julia, listen.

Do you hear the, "Uh?"

[indistinct sound]

You can hear the Ju-li-ahh.

[Jessica] Deciphering voices
from beyond
is a special skill.

Even though Phil and I had
a tough time hearing it,

Amy and Amy heard
the name Julia.

What's interesting is that,

that happens to be the name
of Colonel Stewart's wife.

But I hadn't told them that.

-I mean it matches...
like it's--
-Right.

But I'm not necessarily
hearing Julia.

We should keep going with it.

[Adam through the recorder]
Do you recognize it? Can you
tell me the name of it?

[indistinct shouting]

-The--
-Woah!

What was that?

It's a response
to the cannon ball.

[indistinct shouting]

Something like this took
Charles life.

If that happened to him

and he sees it in a space
that he's in,

it's not gonna
be a good reaction.

-It's gonna be like, rragh!
-Exactly.

-[indistinct shouting]
-Wants to talk to Julia.

-Hates that thing clearly.
-Hates that thing.

-Odds are it could be Charles.
-Charles.

The intelligent ones,
there's usually a reason
they're still here.

Like they usually
have that kind of classic,
unfinished business.

-Mm-hmm.
-And the fact that
he may have said Julia,

The fact could indicate that
is his unfinished business.

That is why he's still roaming
around here.

It would be helpful
if we found out
what happened to Julia.

Like literally, you could come
back here tomorrow

-and show him.
-Mm-hmm.

That was very cool.

Is there any other message
that you would
like to leave us with?

[Jessica] We continued to try
and make contact
for the next couple of hours.

But Colonel Stewart
has gone quiet.

The next morning while Amy
and Adam dig through military
and historical archives

looking for more information
about Colonel Stewart
and his wife Julia,

we get amazing news from Josh.

He came through
with permission
to dive on the Tecumseh.

I believe it's possible the
wreck is somehow connected to
the four bells that we heard.

Which I learned was the Navy's
signal for full speed ahead.

[Captain] Full speed ahead!

[Jessica] That said to be the
command given to the remaining
Union fleet

just after the Tecumseh
went down.

[Phil] While Jess is here
to talk with ghosts.

I'm hoping to lay eyes
on an incredible piece
of history.

We're using Sonar to pinpoint
the ship's exact location.

[sonar beeping]

We're getting some bumps.

Yeah it's getting higher,
look at that!

Looks like we might
be right on top of it.

All right. Drop it in.

Our dive captain marks
the spot based
on the sonar reading.

So, Jim, as far as I know,

this is the last well
documented photo
of where the Tecumseh is.

-This is from the 1960's.
-Correct.

[Jim] That was found
in the last dive.

That was a while before
the navy took control back
of the Tecumseh.

This whole area right now
is a war grave.

I believe there's 93 crew
members that are still aboard.

[Phil] Has anyone dove
on this since?

[Jim] It's protected site.
You cannot dive
to the Tecumseh.

If they see a boat here diving
they'll run 'em off.

Police right there making sure
that nobody else joins us.

All right.
Let's get suited up.

[Phil] Our exclusive
permission comes
with restrictions.

We can dive over the top
but we aren't allowed
to dig here.

Or disturb the wreck in anyway
out of respect for the sailors
entombed inside.

This is a notoriously
dangerous place to dive.

Salty ocean water is heavier
than the fresh water

that pours into the bay
from multiple rivers.

Those two shifting layers
of water create currents
that are strong,

and unpredictable.

The visibility here
will be practically zero.

So to help us navigate,

we drop guide lines
from our boat
to a safety boat.

And over the spot
where the ship lies.

[Jessica] Once Phil
finds the Tecumseh,

I want to try to communicate
with the spirits
of the lost sailors

by using a hydrophone.

A microphone designed
to record sound underwater.

We're gonna record everything
on an underwater EVP.

Somebody was ringing a bell.

And I wanna see
if we can find out who.

There were no ships or boats
anywhere near us

when we repeatedly
heard bells ringing.

-[bells chiming]
-Towards the beach?

I believe those sounds could
have been an echo
from the battle of Mobile bay.

And the last moments
of the Tecumseh.

[Phil] Once we're in the
water, Jim will be my
safety diver.

[water splashing]

[water splashing]

We'll be tethered together
as a buddy system.

To keep the currents
from sweeping us away.

Check. Check. Check.
Phil, can you hear me?

[radio disturbance]

[Phil speaking]

[Jessica] We copy.

[Phil speaking]

Once I'm at the bottom,
I'll use an underwater metal
detector to locate the wreck.

[Phil speaking]

[metal detector clicking]

[Phil speaking]

[Jessica] Now that Phil
is close to the shipwreck,

I lower the hydrophone.

Ooh!

Man, that current is strong.

It feels like I actually
have a fish on the line.

I hear some clicking.

I think that's probably
Phil using the metal detector.

[metal detector clicking]

Hey, Phil, I wanna try some
underwater EVP's.

So I need you
to repeat after me, okay?

[Phil speaking]

Is there anyone from
the Tecumseh that would like
to reach out to us?

[Phil speaking]

Did anyone from the Tecumseh
create a bell sound
from the other night?

[Phil speaking]

Whoa!

[radio static]

Phil?

Are you there?

Woah!

[Phil speaking]

[radio static]

Phil?

Are you there?

[Jessica] Phil lost the line.

[Diver Captain] Copy that.
Copy that.

Phil, do you copy?
Are you okay?

Phil, Jim, can you guys,
hear me?

Yeah, this is [bleep]
stupid.

[Jessica] In extremely
low visibility like this,

the guide line
is a literal life line.

It's the only way for a diver
to know where they're going

so they don't get
swept off couse.

Buoy's right there.

I see Jim.

Hey, he got the line!

Hey, they're coming to
you guys. They gotta come
to you. So head on over there.

The current pushed us
100 feet towards the gulf.

Hey, you guys all good?

We're all good over here.

We're all good.

Ready to get dry.

All right. See you
at the dock.

I'll analyze
the hydrophone
recordings later

to see if we were able
to capture any responses
to my questions.

Hopefully, Phil's
near-death experience
was worth it.

I heard, "I've lost the line,"
then, I heard nothing.

-And then, I saw bubbles
just all over the damn place.
-[chuckling] Oh, no.

So, I just thought
you've been dying.

-You thought I became a ghost?
-Yeah.

-Oh, my God.
-Sorry. We're okay.

-[Jessica] You owe me
a ka-trillion beers.
-Fine. Fine.

[Jessica] While we
were busy with our
off-shore investigation,

Amy and Adam tracked down
a couple who say they
witnessed first-hand,

some strange phenomenon
at Fort Morgan.

Larry Conley spent
five years in the navy

and has a passion
for military history.

His wife, Melinda, joined him
on a visit to Fort Morgan.

Together, they experienced
something disturbing
inside this tunnel.

The tunnel is
the main entrance
to the fort,

and hundreds of soldiers
would've marched through here

on their way
to the battleground,

including our primary
paranormal suspect,
Colonel Stewart.

We heard that you guys have
had some paranormal encounters
in the fort.

So, can you kind of take us
through what happened?

Sure. When we
first got to the fort,

we were walking down
this very tunnel, and we're
about halfway through,

and I hear,
and she heard it too,
someone say, "Hey."

Okay.

So, I turn around,
thought maybe I was

in someone's way
or I dropped something,
and there was no one around.

-Was it male or female?
-It was male. Yes.

-Did it sound like it was
right next to you?
-Right behind us.

-[Amy] Oh.
-Yes.

Was it really crowded
out front at the time?

It was a rainy day.

So, there was people out there
but they were more towards
the bay here.

-I see.
-So, no really right here.

Was there water dripping?
Or was there, like, water
filling up here, you think?

No. No water.

But that was not
your only experience.
So, what else happened?

Right. We'd gone inside
and I'd looked back here,
and she had some scratches.

[both] Oh, so,
you got scratched.

-What did it feel like?
-It really didn't hurt.

-But it left a mark?
-Yes, it left two marks.

And what did it look like?

-[Larry] I've got a picture
if you'd like to see it.
-Oh, yeah.

[Adam] Oh, I see. Right here.

-[Larry] There,
there, and there.
-[Adam] Oh, right there too.

[Amy] The scratch
is pretty wild.

[Jessica] I believe
it's possible that Melinda
and Larry

may have encountered
the spirit of Colonel Stewart.

If he has
the ability to throw bricks...

-[thudding]
-What the [bleep]

...trip up our equipment...

maybe even appear on camera,

then perhaps, he could've
taken a swipe at Melinda.

We head back to the fort
to meet up with Amy and Adam.

They've been doing
their own deep dive,

looking into
the personal history
of the colonel.

He was commander of the fort
when he was killed
in a cannon accident...

while preparing
for future battle with
the Union naval fleet.

We started digging
into Charles

to figure out
what was going on
with his family, right?

We did find out his wife
was pregnant when he passed.

Did he know
that she was pregnant?

I'm sure, because
she had the baby
two weeks later.

And they named her Charlie.

His only son passed away
when he was eight. He fell
out of a tree.

That's a lot of heartbreak
for one family.

You know, we've
encountered spirits

who don't know
they've passed away.

So, if there's anything
he's gonna wanna know,

it's, "What happened
to my family? What happened
to my unborn daughter?"

-It's just a matter of,
I guess, telling him. So...
-Mmm-hmm.

And seeing if the activity
picks up or changes
or dissipates.

We have work to do.

[Phil] We decide to
split into two teams.

Amy and I are heading
to the entrance tunnel where

Larry and Melinda
say that they heard
a disembodied voice.

I want to check conditions
to see if there's
anything natural

like dripping water
or animal activity

that could've
caused those sounds.

[Jessica] And since
my EVP session at the
Tecumseh wreck was cut short,

Adam and I want to try again
to make contact

with the sailors
who died when it sank.

The shipwreck is only
300 yards off shore.

-See that glowing spot
right there?
-[Adam] Yeah.

-[Jessica] That's
the Tecumseh.
-Okay.

-We'd investigated along
beach shores before.
-Uh-huh.

And obviously, the--
It's hard to hear

because you have wind blowing.
The contamination is high.

So, if we use the Spirit Box
and headphones,

that'll be our best way
to, like, get information.

-Something a little bit
more clear...
-Yeah.

-...than we would normally--
-Yes.

This is where we wanna set up.

A spirit box scans through
hundreds of radio frequencies
at high speed.

Some believe that entities
pull words through the device
in order to communicate.

While I'm asking questions,
Adam wears the
noise-cancelling headphones

and a blindfold
so he won't know
what I'm saying, or when.

He'll call out
any responses he hears.

Adam and Amy have had
years of success

connecting with spirits
using this technique.

I'm excited to
try it out with another
paranormal expert,

and without Phil here
to roll his eyes.

Adam, can you hear me?

Okay, I'm gonna
get it started.

Is anyone from the Tecumseh
with us right now?

Was it you ringing the bell?

-Feel free
to reach out to us--
-I'm here...

too.

When you say I'm here too,
do you mean two people?

Or... Is there two people here
with us right now?

We'd love to have
a conversation with you.

I've a list of names
for people that were
stationed on the Tecumseh.

If this is you or if you
know this person,
feel free to reach out to us.

George Work.

Acting Master Thomas Eustick.

Is James Dalton with you?

Ah...

Are you in pain?
Are you screaming?

Is that...

Is that what
you're trying to express?

Are there
other people with you?

Hundreds.

[Jessica] Are there
other people with you?

Hundreds.

[Jessica] Ninety three sailors
went down with the Tecumseh,

and nearly 1,000 died
over the course of
the fort's history.

We might be communicating
with both sailors and
soldiers from the fort.

This could truly be

the most tragic,
most haunted place
I've ever been.

Did something happen to you?

This was where
Melinda and Larry
were walking.

And they heard
a disembodied voice say,
"Hey" to them,

like, behind them.

-And they said that
there was no one else around.
-Okay.

It was raining. It wasn't
a busy day at the port.

But this was where it all
started for them.

You'd also think, with rain,
that would cause a lot of,
basically, white noise.

-It would be harder to
hear voices around.
-That's true.

I will say,
walking around this place,

-you hear sounds
bounce around a lot.
-Yeah.

Can we do, if I just walk
out there and say, "Hey,"

-and see if it sounds like
it's in here?
-Okay.

-Here, I'll say it
a few different ways.
-Okay.

Few different spots.

Right. I'm gonna
start right here.

Hey.

[Phil] I can hear you clear,
but I can also see you.

Do you wanna try
to get out of sight and see
how it bounces around here?

[Amy] Sure thing.

I'll do one this way.

Hey.

That was a good one.

-Hey.
-[Amy] Hey.
How did that sound?

I gotta say, I think that was
a pretty successful
experiment.

There were some
where when you said it,

it almost sounded like
the sound was just kind of
bouncing above me.

It was really hard to tell
if it was in front of me,
or behind me.

And I was way out
in the parking lot.

-[Phil] Really?
-Yeah.

[Phil] The key to
this auditory illusion

is the fort's
unique architecture.

The long oddly angled walls
bounce sound waves around

in ways that our brains
don't anticipate.

When these echoes
stack up just right,

it can create
a very convincing impression

of noises coming
from a different location

as Amy just demonstrated.

But Melinda also believes that
something or someone
scratched her.

-And this is where the witness
said she was scratched?
-Yeah.

[Phil] I'll say,
the walls here...

there's not as many
objects just sticking out
or broken bricks

that would explain
someone getting scratched.

-No nails or anything.
-Uh-uh.

-It's just flat concrete.
-Yeah.

[Phil whispers] Oh, my gosh.
There's so many spiders here.

[Amy] Oh, my God.
Oh, God.

There's so many.

[Phil] There are over 90
species of spiders in Alabama,
most of which are harmless.

Many of the ones I see here
are funnel weavers.

This place is amazing.

[Amy gags]

-[Phil] Wanna see a trick?
-I don't wanna see a trick.

[Phil] Hey, sometimes,
it brings 'em out.

-[Amy] You do this on purpose
for fun?
-Yeah.

[whispering] Oh,
that guy's eating right now.

[Amy] Ew, ugh.

They're like
in every nook and cranny.

Walking around
the place like this

you're gonna be thinking
there's something
all over you.

So she was probably
hyper-aware,
like I am right now

of every little feeling.

Like easily, I don't know,
I wonder if she...

Anytime you think something's
crawling on you,

-you're going to scratch
and so--
-Yeah.

I think...

-We should consider that
as a possibility...
-Okay.

...of how
the scratch occurred.

Yeah, I agree with you.

[Jess] Is there anything
you feel we should know?

Turned on his head.

The Tecumseh flipped
as it was sinking.

Were you stuck on board?

[man] Hmm.

Can you tell us your name?

Is there anyone else
that would like
to speak with us?

[Jess] After an hour
the responses seemed to stop.

[man] Oh my gosh. That's wild.

I got a little, uh, shocked.

What it sounded like for me
was that...

At first it sounded like
there was like
one or two voices

and it wasn't, I mean, like,
coming from somewhere.

[Jess] Mmm-hmm.

And then there was
a cacophony of voices, as if

it felt like there were
a lot of people
trying to speak up.

It seemed like
we were getting
very specific responses.

It's like a crowded room.

Everybody is trying
to get the attention.

That's cool. So it's as if
being here night after night
after night sparked something.

I mean, I just think there's
a lot of people stuck here

-throughout history
at different points of time.
-Yeah.

That are, kind of,
talking over each other.

A lot of souls reaching out.

And when somebody, kind of,
turns the light on
in that room.

It's like, you know,
moths to a flame.

Right.

[Jess] We head back
to bastion fort
to meet up with Phil and Amy.

This might be where
Colonel. Stewart was killed
in the cannon misfire.

And it's where we believe
we made contact
with his spirit last night.

We're hoping
our new information
about what happened

to his pregnant widow
and children

will earn us a response.

[Phil] Okay.

Adam has a camera ready
to record any anomalies.

While Amy has
her digital recorder
to pick up EVPs.

[Amy] Charles Stewart.

We're back.
We have some information
for you.

Your wife gave birth
to a beautiful daughter
two weeks after your accident.

And they named her Charlie,
after you.

Your son, Evander,
did have an accident
when he was eight.

Um, he fell out of a tree
and passed away.

Your son and his sister
and your wife
are all buried together.

But if you're here
worried about them,
you don't need to be.

You can go be with them.

[Amy] We can listen to that
and see.

[static] Charles Stewart.
We're back. We have
some information for you.

Your wife gave birth
to a beautiful daughter
two weeks after your accident.

And they named her Charlie,
after you.

[static] were you--

-Ooh.
-[exclaims] What?

[man] Did he say Charlie?

[Amy] That was crazy.

[Jess]
I've got goosebumps.

The USS Tecumsehisn't
the only sunken
Civil War vessel

that's said to be sending
ghostly signals to shore.

On February 17th, 1864,
in Charleston harbor,
theH.L. Hunley,

a Confederate submarine,
hits the Union blockade ship,
USS Housatonic with a torpedo.

Becoming the first sub
ever to sink an enemy ship.

Afterwards,
eyewitnesses report seeing
a signal light from the Hunley

confirming that
their mission is complete.

But the sub
never makes it back to base.

In 2000, theHunley
is recovered from
the bottom of the harbor.

Forensic analysis indicates
all eight crew members

died suddenly
at their stations.

Possibly from the shockwave
of the torpedo blast.

So, who raised
that signal light?

To this day some claim to see
a ghostly light shining
across Charleston harbor.

But skeptics say
that's just the power
of suggestion

working on
the subconscious mind.

...named her Charlie
after you.

[static] were you--

-Ooh.
-[exclaims] What?

[man] Did that say Charlie?

[Amy] That was crazy.

[Jess] Ooh,
I've got goosebumps.

[Jess]
Can you play it back again?

...accident.
And they named her Charlie,
after you.

-[static] were you
worried for them?
-[Amy] Yeah.

[Amy] It says Charlie.

-[Adam] I heard it from
over here, like, loud too.
-[Amy] Yeah?

-I mean that is so wild.
-[Amy] That was
a good response.

So, Sir, if there's anything
else we can do for you,
we're happy to do so.

Just say it.

Here we go.

[static] If there's anything
else...

[Amy] We continue calling out
to Charles, but after
that initial reaction

to the name of his daughter,
he seems to have gone quiet.

Perhaps he's satisfied with
the update we brought him
about his family.

-[Josh] Hey guys.
-[all] Hey.

[Phil] ...Josh.

So, how did it go in the Gulf?
How are you doing?

-We're doing great.
-Yeah. So, Amy and Adam,
that was a fantastic idea.

Thank you so much
for putting them
in touch with us.

Sure. And how was
that dive on the Tecumseh?

There's literally
zero visibility.
Complete darkness.

Had to use sonar
and then the metal detector
to find this wreck.

[exclaims] Wow.
That sounds terrifying
actually.

But hey, at least you were
up close to this
incredibly historic wreck.

Jess, did you find
the source of those bells?

So, while he was diving,
I was using the hydrophone
to do an EVP session

and we got some
amazing results.

So I'm going to
send them to you.
Check these out.

Okay. What do we got?

[click]

[bang]

[bang]

[bang]

What is that?
What am I hearing?

At first I thought
it could have been the noise
of us jumping into the water.

But then it just keeps getting
louder and louder.

To me it seems,
very obviously,
that it is cannon fire.

It does sound like that.

And if you check
the other file.

There's what sounds like
somebody's voice speaking
under the water.

And this thing was so far down

it was definitely not
picking up anybody
talking on the boat.

All right.
Let me give it a listen.

[static] Hello.

There's something there but
that is really hard
to make out.

What, what do you think
that is Jess?

A little bit of
what sounds like a hello.

[static] Hello.

There were dolphins around.
It could have been a dolphin.

-Saying hello in
dolphin voice. Yeah.
-Hello.

-It's possible.
-It's not poss--

But the loud explosion sound.
No clue.

So in terms of
the investigation in the bay.

I would call the evidence
here inconclusive.

You know, I,
that first sound file
is really intriguing but,

let's talk about
the fort itself.

The question remains.
Is Fort Morgan haunted?

Oh, hell yeah.

[Josh] My team analyzed the,
more than,

200 hours of audio and video
data they collected.

In the end,
Phil and Jess were able
to find explanations

for some of the phenomena
around Fort Morgan.

Remember the ghost photo
that triggered
this investigation?

Phil was able to make
a very similar image.

Suggesting it might be
the result of
atmospheric conditions.

As for the disembodied voices
reported there.

Phil determined that
the Fort's distinct
architecture and acoustics

-can create echoes
seemingly from nowhere.
-[echo] Hey.

The trail cams Phil placed
around the Fort did snap
a few shots of wildlife.

Though, not the bobcat,
who's eerie screech
we captured.

And when they analyzed
all of Jess' recordings

from inside the Fort
for any EVPs.

[Jess] Are you there? Hello?

[Josh] They got nothing
but crickets.

[crickets chirping]

Literally.

And the surveillance cameras
they left running showed
no further ghostly anomalies.

But the team did gather
other evidence that can't
be easily explained.

Jess and Adam called out
to the lost souls
of the Tecumseh.

-[Jess] Are there
other people with you?
-Hundreds.

And got what could be answers.

And our team's attempts
to connect with
Colonel Charles Stewart

yielded intriguing results.

Charles, are you here?

The REM Pod alerts.

The brick that fell.

-[thuds]
-What the [bleep]?

Did that just come out of
one of the ceilings?

And what seemed like
intelligent responses.

[static] were you--

-Ooh.
-[exclaims] What?

[man] Did that say Charlie?

[Josh] All of those
unexplained events,
happening around the same time

begs the question,
what is really going on
at Fort Morgan?

Believers would argue
that the pain and tragedy

that occurred within
these walls, and just offshore

is most certainly
the cause of a haunting.

More than a thousand lives
were lost here

over its 125 years
as an active Fort.

Lives suddenly
and brutally cut short.

And as the crumbling Fort
faces what may be
it's final days,

even a hardened skeptic
will find it difficult

to explain this.
