Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,724 --> 00:00:03,862
I just heard a door slam.
2
00:00:04,482 --> 00:00:05,931
Was that you?
3
00:00:07,482 --> 00:00:11,551
Do you know
what the Nazis did here?
4
00:00:19,793 --> 00:00:23,000
On this episode
of Expedition X...
5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
-Wow!
-Oh, my gosh!
6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,068
My team heads
to the Czech Republic
7
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:29,206
to investigate a castle fabled
8
00:00:29,206 --> 00:00:31,517
to hide a gateway to hell.
9
00:00:33,172 --> 00:00:35,379
They had to
cover it over and seal it
10
00:00:35,379 --> 00:00:37,724
and then build this small
chapel over the top of it
11
00:00:37,724 --> 00:00:39,172
to keep the bad down.
12
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:41,689
The Nazis reportedly
tried to harness
13
00:00:41,689 --> 00:00:42,965
its evil power.
14
00:00:43,793 --> 00:00:46,000
Now, Phil and Heather
investigate
15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,482
disturbing new reports
of devilish activity.
16
00:00:49,482 --> 00:00:51,379
Who are you?
17
00:00:53,517 --> 00:00:55,206
Were you a Nazi?
18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,931
Uncovering secrets
hidden for centuries...
19
00:00:58,931 --> 00:01:00,620
What is that noise?
20
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:02,620
That is a void.
21
00:01:02,620 --> 00:01:04,413
Wow. We found a void?
22
00:01:05,275 --> 00:01:08,689
...and facing off
against true evil.
23
00:01:08,689 --> 00:01:11,827
Are you trapped below us?
24
00:01:13,482 --> 00:01:14,827
Yes.
25
00:01:16,172 --> 00:01:18,241
Heather, you've got
bruises right there.
26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,103
Okay, who here
likes Indiana Jones?
27
00:01:30,103 --> 00:01:31,172
Obviously, you do.
28
00:01:31,172 --> 00:01:32,551
I don't know what you're
talking about, Heather.
29
00:01:32,551 --> 00:01:34,586
Pretty much everyone
on the planet
likes Indiana Jones.
30
00:01:34,586 --> 00:01:38,103
Raiders of the Lost Ark,
probably the greatest movie
of all time.
31
00:01:38,103 --> 00:01:39,413
Absolutely.
32
00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:41,000
And what if I were to tell you
that it's not just a movie,
33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
but that part of the story
is based, in fact,
34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,586
that the Nazis did have
an obsession with the occult
35
00:01:46,586 --> 00:01:49,103
and with harnessing
supernatural powers.
36
00:01:49,103 --> 00:01:50,137
Okay.
37
00:01:50,137 --> 00:01:52,413
And even more shocking,
some people believe
38
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:57,000
that they actually succeeded
in tapping into dark energy.
39
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,172
I just received recent reports
40
00:01:59,172 --> 00:02:01,827
of purportedly violent
paranormal activity
41
00:02:01,827 --> 00:02:04,689
at a remote former
Nazi stronghold,
42
00:02:04,689 --> 00:02:07,931
a sinister place
known as Houska Castle.
43
00:02:11,586 --> 00:02:15,310
Houska Castle is mysteriously
built in the 13th century
44
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:16,517
on a remote mountain
45
00:02:16,517 --> 00:02:18,931
in what is now
the northern Czech Republic.
46
00:02:19,482 --> 00:02:20,793
Far from any trade routes
47
00:02:20,793 --> 00:02:22,931
or from any borders
to protect,
48
00:02:22,931 --> 00:02:24,931
it is said the castle
is not built
49
00:02:24,931 --> 00:02:27,275
to defend against
invading armies.
50
00:02:27,275 --> 00:02:31,000
Instead, it is built for
something much more shocking,
51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,862
to hide a pit to hell itself.
52
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:38,206
In 1541,
53
00:02:38,206 --> 00:02:41,482
scholar Vaclav Hajek records
that villagers speak
54
00:02:41,482 --> 00:02:43,172
of a gateway to the underworld
55
00:02:43,172 --> 00:02:45,482
where demonic monsters emerge
56
00:02:45,482 --> 00:02:47,965
to drag people into the abyss.
57
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:53,620
The pit is said
to have been sealed
beneath colossal stones
58
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:55,896
and Houska Castle
and its chapel
59
00:02:55,896 --> 00:02:57,896
is built directly over it
60
00:02:57,896 --> 00:02:59,965
to imprison the demons below.
61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,793
After centuries of disrepair,
62
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:07,896
in the 1600s,
a man called Oronto,
63
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:10,379
a reported practitioner
of black magic,
64
00:03:10,379 --> 00:03:12,206
acquires the castle,
65
00:03:12,206 --> 00:03:14,896
supposedly to draw on
its dark energy,
66
00:03:14,896 --> 00:03:18,137
and create an elixir
of immortality,
67
00:03:18,896 --> 00:03:21,724
until the terrified locals
kill him.
68
00:03:22,482 --> 00:03:24,000
In 1939,
69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,724
the area is invaded
by Nazi Germany.
70
00:03:27,793 --> 00:03:31,275
Hitler's forces learn
of Houska's paranormal past,
71
00:03:31,275 --> 00:03:33,862
and troops are dispatched
to seize it.
72
00:03:35,379 --> 00:03:36,793
Over the next five years,
73
00:03:36,793 --> 00:03:38,689
locals report strange lights
74
00:03:38,689 --> 00:03:42,103
and terrifying sounds
from the occupied castle.
75
00:03:42,103 --> 00:03:46,206
Rumors spread of bizarre
Nazi rituals and experiments
76
00:03:46,206 --> 00:03:49,000
to harness the castle's
evil energy.
77
00:03:49,793 --> 00:03:52,103
Today, visitors
to Houska Castle
78
00:03:52,103 --> 00:03:55,379
report a range of terrifying
paranormal activity.
79
00:03:55,379 --> 00:03:57,310
In the chapel,
80
00:03:57,310 --> 00:03:59,724
many hear screaming
and clawing
81
00:03:59,724 --> 00:04:02,172
from beneath the stone floor.
82
00:04:02,172 --> 00:04:03,379
Throughout the building,
83
00:04:03,379 --> 00:04:06,896
there are also reports
of terrifying apparitions,
84
00:04:06,896 --> 00:04:09,206
the surrounding forest
is said to be stalked
85
00:04:09,206 --> 00:04:12,000
by demonic
human-animal hybrids.
86
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:13,793
And, most disturbingly,
87
00:04:13,793 --> 00:04:16,689
recent visitors report
being physically attacked
88
00:04:16,689 --> 00:04:18,482
by invisible forces,
89
00:04:18,482 --> 00:04:20,482
including this investigator
90
00:04:20,482 --> 00:04:22,482
who shared her shocking story.
91
00:04:22,482 --> 00:04:24,482
So whilst we were
in the chapel,
92
00:04:24,482 --> 00:04:26,206
I felt something
touch my neck,
93
00:04:26,206 --> 00:04:30,724
and it was just
as though something
had swept across my skin.
94
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:34,103
The next morning,
I was greatly disturbed
95
00:04:34,103 --> 00:04:36,586
because there were marks
down my left leg.
96
00:04:36,586 --> 00:04:39,586
These were bruises
and burn type marks.
97
00:04:39,586 --> 00:04:41,551
It was absolutely terrifying.
98
00:04:42,586 --> 00:04:45,586
Does Houska
truly hide a gateway to hell?
99
00:04:45,586 --> 00:04:49,620
And if so,
were the Nazis
able to open it?
100
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,172
So what do you think?
Is Houska the real deal?
101
00:04:56,172 --> 00:04:58,275
Look, I don't know
about a gateway to hell,
102
00:04:58,275 --> 00:05:01,172
but let's say there is some
fissure underneath the castle,
103
00:05:01,172 --> 00:05:03,172
there could be fumes
coming out of it,
104
00:05:03,172 --> 00:05:06,379
and natural gasses could cause
people to hallucinate.
105
00:05:06,379 --> 00:05:09,896
Do you think the Nazis
were getting high
on their own supply?
106
00:05:09,896 --> 00:05:13,379
Look, I think the first thing
we need to do is determine,
107
00:05:13,379 --> 00:05:14,689
does this pit even exist?
108
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:17,413
Is there a fissure
underneath this castle,
109
00:05:17,413 --> 00:05:19,206
or is it all just a legend?
110
00:05:19,206 --> 00:05:22,482
A gas leak does not leave
fingerprint bruises on people.
111
00:05:22,482 --> 00:05:23,655
But I agree with you.
112
00:05:23,655 --> 00:05:25,896
We need to figure out
if this pit to hell exists.
113
00:05:25,896 --> 00:05:29,000
And if it does,
I want to investigate it
with some paranormal tools.
114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,482
And what were the Nazis
even doing at this place?
115
00:05:31,482 --> 00:05:34,379
If they are trying to harness
supernatural energy for evil,
116
00:05:34,379 --> 00:05:37,275
that would leave an insane
imprint on that space.
117
00:05:37,275 --> 00:05:40,000
Well, I've done a number
of World War II based
investigations
118
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,137
not far from Houska,
119
00:05:41,137 --> 00:05:43,724
so I'll go back through
my old files, my contacts,
120
00:05:43,724 --> 00:05:45,482
to see if there's
anything else I can find
121
00:05:45,482 --> 00:05:47,827
that could shed some light
on what's going on there.
122
00:05:47,827 --> 00:05:49,931
-Great.
-And look, be careful.
123
00:05:49,931 --> 00:05:51,586
Right? Whatever the Nazis
were up to there,
124
00:05:51,586 --> 00:05:53,793
whatever is going on today
at this castle,
125
00:05:53,793 --> 00:05:55,689
the reports are
really disturbing.
126
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:57,068
So, use caution,
127
00:05:57,068 --> 00:05:59,620
and see if you can
get to the bottom
of this bottomless pit.
128
00:06:00,482 --> 00:06:02,172
-You got it.
-Will do.
129
00:06:03,793 --> 00:06:07,103
The flight
from New York to Prague
is eight and a half hours.
130
00:06:07,103 --> 00:06:10,827
Then, it's an
hour's drive north
along windy mountain roads
131
00:06:10,827 --> 00:06:12,172
to Houska Castle.
132
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:15,827
Okay.
133
00:06:16,482 --> 00:06:17,793
Wow.
134
00:06:17,793 --> 00:06:20,000
The Czech countryside
is stunning.
I'll give it that.
135
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,379
-It's beautiful,
but it is so remote.
-Yeah.
136
00:06:23,379 --> 00:06:26,103
The deeper we drive,
the more I keep thinking.
137
00:06:26,103 --> 00:06:29,275
-Why did someone build
a castle out here?
-Right?
138
00:06:29,275 --> 00:06:31,758
It literally is covering
a portal to hell.
139
00:06:32,103 --> 00:06:33,482
So they say.
140
00:06:33,482 --> 00:06:34,689
Hey, fun fact.
141
00:06:34,689 --> 00:06:35,551
Hit me.
142
00:06:35,551 --> 00:06:37,413
Did you know
that Czech Republic
143
00:06:37,413 --> 00:06:39,793
has the highest density
of castles
144
00:06:39,793 --> 00:06:41,689
-in the entire world?
-What?
145
00:06:41,689 --> 00:06:43,034
Yeah. Isn't that amazing?
146
00:06:43,034 --> 00:06:45,103
It is. I mean, so they've got
a castle for everything here.
147
00:06:45,103 --> 00:06:47,068
They have a castle
for the rich,
148
00:06:47,068 --> 00:06:48,620
they have a castle
for the royal,
149
00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:51,172
and then they have a castle
to cover up a portal to hell.
150
00:06:52,275 --> 00:06:53,724
You think they have
White Castle in Czech...?
151
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,827
-No.
-No?
152
00:06:54,827 --> 00:06:55,689
-Absolutely not.
-Okay.
153
00:06:57,689 --> 00:06:59,172
There it is. Look at that.
154
00:06:59,172 --> 00:07:00,931
My gosh.
155
00:07:00,931 --> 00:07:02,689
-Wow!
-That is huge.
156
00:07:02,689 --> 00:07:07,965
Over a thousand
years of history
and some Nazi lore.
157
00:07:12,103 --> 00:07:14,413
The first thing you notice
about Houska Castle
158
00:07:14,413 --> 00:07:16,689
is the strange architecture.
159
00:07:16,689 --> 00:07:20,310
Unlike most other castles,
it lacks towers, battlements,
160
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:22,620
or defensive positions
of any kind.
161
00:07:23,413 --> 00:07:25,137
Okay, here we go.
162
00:07:28,689 --> 00:07:31,793
Its inner courtyard
also feels more like a prison
163
00:07:31,793 --> 00:07:32,931
than a palace.
164
00:07:32,931 --> 00:07:33,931
Hi there.
165
00:07:33,931 --> 00:07:35,931
And it's
where we meet our contact.
166
00:07:35,931 --> 00:07:37,827
-Tori, pleased to meet you.
-Hey, Heather.
167
00:07:37,827 --> 00:07:39,448
Welcome to Houska Castle.
168
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:40,758
Wow.
169
00:07:40,758 --> 00:07:42,379
Tori Burton
is a local tour guide
170
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:44,896
who has brought countless
guests through Hosaka,
171
00:07:44,896 --> 00:07:49,103
resulting in experiences
she struggles to explain.
172
00:07:49,103 --> 00:07:52,310
This is an inside out castle
for a very dark reason.
173
00:07:52,310 --> 00:07:53,172
Let me show you around.
174
00:07:53,172 --> 00:07:54,413
-All right.
-Please
175
00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:04,000
So here we have
the hunting hall.
176
00:08:05,103 --> 00:08:06,344
As you can see,
177
00:08:06,344 --> 00:08:10,172
it's still used to display
hunting prized possessions.
178
00:08:10,172 --> 00:08:12,275
As the story goes,
at one point in history,
179
00:08:12,275 --> 00:08:14,551
a giant fissure opened up
on this hillside.
180
00:08:14,931 --> 00:08:16,724
A gateway to hell.
181
00:08:16,724 --> 00:08:18,931
-A literal
gate to hell opening?
-Correct.
182
00:08:19,793 --> 00:08:20,896
Legend has it,
183
00:08:20,896 --> 00:08:23,103
all kinds of animals,
winged beasts,
184
00:08:23,103 --> 00:08:25,931
half human-half creature
would come out of this hole,
185
00:08:25,931 --> 00:08:29,103
but when they tried to
fill the hole up,
it never got filled.
186
00:08:29,103 --> 00:08:30,724
They could pour
everything in there
187
00:08:30,724 --> 00:08:33,206
and it would just
keep on going down.
188
00:08:33,206 --> 00:08:35,758
It seemed to be like
an actual bottomless pit.
189
00:08:36,931 --> 00:08:40,241
This castle was abandoned
for 400 years or so,
190
00:08:40,724 --> 00:08:42,586
and it was built around 1270
191
00:08:42,586 --> 00:08:44,827
under the initiative
of Otakar II.
192
00:08:46,103 --> 00:08:47,310
What happened with this pit?
193
00:08:47,310 --> 00:08:48,896
How did they cover it up?
194
00:08:48,896 --> 00:08:51,103
Well, they had to
cover it over and seal it
195
00:08:51,586 --> 00:08:52,965
instead of filling it,
196
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:55,068
and then build
this small chapel
over the top of it.
197
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:57,517
And then the chapel
to have served
as a holy space
198
00:08:57,517 --> 00:08:59,586
to keep the bad down.
199
00:08:59,586 --> 00:09:02,275
The rest of the castle
ready to defend
200
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:05,103
against anything
that comes out of it.
201
00:09:05,103 --> 00:09:07,068
What's also interesting
in the chapel is
202
00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:08,413
there are frescoes on the wall
203
00:09:08,413 --> 00:09:10,413
that date back
to the 14th century.
204
00:09:10,413 --> 00:09:12,482
There is the Archangel Michael
205
00:09:12,482 --> 00:09:15,413
who was there to protect
against the evil forces.
206
00:09:15,413 --> 00:09:17,896
These frescoes
serve as a warning
207
00:09:17,896 --> 00:09:20,241
and keep the evil within.
208
00:09:21,517 --> 00:09:22,517
Did it work?
209
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:24,206
Yes and no.
210
00:09:24,206 --> 00:09:26,206
Still, things have
happened here.
211
00:09:26,206 --> 00:09:27,793
People have seen
and experienced
212
00:09:27,793 --> 00:09:30,103
all kinds of fantastic
things here.
213
00:09:30,103 --> 00:09:32,000
But more interestingly,
I think,
214
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,724
is the way people have
come here in the past
through history,
215
00:09:34,724 --> 00:09:38,413
drawn in by the fact that
there could be this
potential power here.
216
00:09:38,413 --> 00:09:40,413
Like the Nazis.
217
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:44,344
Yes, the Nazis
and the SS were here in 1939.
218
00:09:45,896 --> 00:09:46,896
So what were they
trying to do?
219
00:09:46,896 --> 00:09:48,862
They would have been
doing some rituals...
220
00:09:49,724 --> 00:09:52,689
in order to somehow harness
this dark energy
221
00:09:52,689 --> 00:09:54,724
to take over the world.
222
00:09:57,482 --> 00:09:59,413
Is that
dark energy still here?
223
00:09:59,827 --> 00:10:01,275
It appears so.
224
00:10:02,620 --> 00:10:05,931
So many people report
very strange things
going on here.
225
00:10:05,931 --> 00:10:07,103
In this very room,
226
00:10:07,103 --> 00:10:09,379
I was here
with a couple of friends.
227
00:10:09,379 --> 00:10:11,689
We all saw
the same shadow
at the same time
228
00:10:11,689 --> 00:10:12,827
pass across the room.
229
00:10:14,482 --> 00:10:16,482
A full shadow moved through,
230
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:18,724
a definite dark patch.
231
00:10:18,724 --> 00:10:21,103
In the chapel itself
above the hole to hell,
232
00:10:21,103 --> 00:10:23,517
people have heard noises
coming from underneath.
233
00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:27,241
People have heard
disembodied voices.
234
00:10:29,793 --> 00:10:33,310
Next to the chapel,
there are two deep cellars
that go quite far down.
235
00:10:34,793 --> 00:10:36,000
Down in these cellars,
236
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,103
humongous temperature drops
can be experienced.
237
00:10:39,103 --> 00:10:40,827
I've experienced it myself.
238
00:10:41,172 --> 00:10:42,586
I lost seven degrees
239
00:10:42,586 --> 00:10:45,379
very, very rapidly,
which is completely unusual.
240
00:10:45,379 --> 00:10:46,551
Interesting.
241
00:10:46,551 --> 00:10:48,655
What other experiences
have people had around here?
242
00:10:49,379 --> 00:10:52,068
Out on the balconies
of the courtyard here,
243
00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:54,931
we believed we were
being followed one evening,
244
00:10:54,931 --> 00:10:57,068
because we were constantly
hearing the footsteps
245
00:10:57,068 --> 00:10:58,275
going round and round.
246
00:11:00,103 --> 00:11:02,793
And also it's been reported
that birds can fly over here
247
00:11:02,793 --> 00:11:05,172
and just drop dead,
248
00:11:05,172 --> 00:11:07,241
and land in the middle
of the courtyard.
249
00:11:07,931 --> 00:11:08,896
So what do you believe?
250
00:11:08,896 --> 00:11:10,793
Do you believe
there's dark energy here?
251
00:11:10,793 --> 00:11:13,000
I believe there is
dark energy here.
252
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,793
When you walk around
inside here,
253
00:11:14,793 --> 00:11:17,413
it's actually like
you're being watched
or followed.
254
00:11:18,379 --> 00:11:20,000
There are things here.
255
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,931
There will always be
things here, I think.
256
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:28,620
As we start
our investigation of Houska,
257
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,724
Tori gives us
unprecedented access
258
00:11:30,724 --> 00:11:32,275
to this historic castle.
259
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:34,172
-Set the monitor here?
-That's
a great idea.
260
00:11:34,172 --> 00:11:35,689
We first set up
a command center
261
00:11:35,689 --> 00:11:37,793
and establish points
of IR surveillance
262
00:11:37,793 --> 00:11:39,827
at each of the
reported hotspots,
263
00:11:39,827 --> 00:11:40,931
including the courtyard
264
00:11:40,931 --> 00:11:43,310
where disembodied footsteps
have been heard,
265
00:11:46,413 --> 00:11:49,000
the hunting hall where
a shadow figure was seen.
266
00:11:50,172 --> 00:11:52,827
Can you shift it
a little to your right?
267
00:11:53,896 --> 00:11:55,586
That looks pretty good.
268
00:11:55,586 --> 00:11:58,827
And the cellar where Tori felt
a drastic temperature drop.
269
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
How's that?
270
00:12:01,482 --> 00:12:02,793
Looks great.
271
00:12:02,793 --> 00:12:04,586
Heading back up.
272
00:12:04,586 --> 00:12:06,689
But we begin
in the fabled chapel,
273
00:12:06,689 --> 00:12:09,724
which allegedly blocks
a gateway to hell.
274
00:12:13,931 --> 00:12:15,517
-There it is.
-Wow.
275
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:23,724
Whoa.
276
00:12:26,896 --> 00:12:27,896
Woo.
277
00:12:27,896 --> 00:12:28,758
Okay.
278
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:32,000
People here see,
feel things in here.
279
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,586
Let's just take
a moment to absorb
280
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:35,413
-what's in this space.
-Okay.
281
00:12:43,172 --> 00:12:45,103
If there's anyone
in here with us,
282
00:12:45,103 --> 00:12:46,241
can you knock...
283
00:12:46,793 --> 00:12:48,137
make a noise.
284
00:12:54,379 --> 00:12:55,620
Did you just make that noise?
285
00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:57,517
You can knock again
if you did.
286
00:13:01,482 --> 00:13:03,379
-It was like a deep thud.
-Yes.
287
00:13:03,379 --> 00:13:05,000
I couldn't tell which
direction it was coming from.
288
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,241
I couldn't either.
289
00:13:08,482 --> 00:13:09,862
Whoa. Listen.
290
00:13:12,517 --> 00:13:15,379
Am I crazy? Oh, .
Do you hear that rumbling?
291
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:20,000
Did you hear that?
292
00:13:33,206 --> 00:13:35,482
I am hearing a loud vibration.
293
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:36,620
You're hearing that
right now?
294
00:13:36,620 --> 00:13:38,482
-Yeah.
-I heard a knock.
295
00:13:38,482 --> 00:13:39,758
You heard a knock?
296
00:13:40,689 --> 00:13:42,000
What is happening?
297
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,517
-I have an idea.
-Yeah.
298
00:13:48,896 --> 00:13:49,896
The geophone.
299
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:50,931
All right.
300
00:13:55,586 --> 00:13:57,482
So what we can do here
is set this part,
301
00:13:57,482 --> 00:13:59,103
to the ground.
302
00:13:59,103 --> 00:14:01,482
This is gonna translate
all those vibrations
303
00:14:01,482 --> 00:14:04,000
down beneath us into sound,
304
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,793
which I can listen to live
and I can record.
305
00:14:06,793 --> 00:14:08,000
While you're listening
that way,
306
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,793
I'm gonna listen another way.
307
00:14:09,793 --> 00:14:10,586
What are you thinking?
308
00:14:10,586 --> 00:14:12,137
-Spirit box.
-Okay.
309
00:14:19,310 --> 00:14:21,517
Is there anyone
here with us right now?
310
00:14:27,379 --> 00:14:28,586
Yes!
311
00:14:34,103 --> 00:14:35,379
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm getting scratches.
312
00:14:35,379 --> 00:14:37,344
-You're getting scratches?
-Yeah, keep going.
313
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:38,827
What do you want?
314
00:14:40,689 --> 00:14:42,310
Is there anything below us?
315
00:14:45,310 --> 00:14:47,103
I'm hearing
scratches again.
316
00:14:49,482 --> 00:14:52,172
Did the Nazis summon you here?
317
00:14:53,172 --> 00:14:54,448
Yes?
318
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:56,896
Whoa.
319
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:59,000
I heard one solid raking.
320
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,689
Just one solid scratch noise.
321
00:15:00,689 --> 00:15:02,000
Oh.
322
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,068
You're not
moving your feet?
323
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:04,620
I'm not moving my feet.
324
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:05,724
It's really subtle.
325
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,517
Turn that off for a second.
326
00:15:11,896 --> 00:15:14,896
I'm telling you,
the only way I can describe
what I'm hearing
327
00:15:14,896 --> 00:15:17,137
is it sounds like
someone or something
328
00:15:17,482 --> 00:15:19,000
that's underneath us,
329
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,413
trying to scratch
their way out.
330
00:15:20,413 --> 00:15:22,000
Oh, my God.
331
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,275
Well, we've got to
get lower then.
332
00:15:23,275 --> 00:15:24,482
We got to go down.
333
00:15:24,482 --> 00:15:26,310
Yeah, I think we need
to investigate those cellars.
334
00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:28,379
So you take one cellar,
I take the other?
335
00:15:28,379 --> 00:15:29,931
Okay.
336
00:15:29,931 --> 00:15:31,689
I think we should leave
the geophone recording.
337
00:15:31,689 --> 00:15:33,517
All right,
sounds like a plan.
338
00:15:44,689 --> 00:15:45,931
Oh.
339
00:15:52,758 --> 00:15:54,000
Oh, my gosh.
340
00:15:59,758 --> 00:16:00,931
Oh, my God.
341
00:16:01,482 --> 00:16:03,482
We have so many
satanic items in here.
342
00:16:03,482 --> 00:16:04,896
I mean...
343
00:16:04,896 --> 00:16:07,413
why would you put
so many devils in here?
344
00:16:07,413 --> 00:16:10,137
This is just too much.
345
00:16:12,379 --> 00:16:15,000
All right. I think
I better set up here.
346
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,068
Try and do a call
and response,
347
00:16:16,068 --> 00:16:18,413
but I am putting out
a tripwire
348
00:16:18,413 --> 00:16:20,620
to see if anything
is heading in my direction.
349
00:16:25,172 --> 00:16:27,448
Wow, there's a cellar.
350
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
And behind this wall
through here,
351
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,620
that is the chapel.
352
00:16:33,172 --> 00:16:34,724
This is coming apart.
353
00:16:38,482 --> 00:16:40,517
We got the welcoming
committee here.
354
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:45,000
Ooh.
355
00:16:46,793 --> 00:16:48,000
There it is.
356
00:16:50,379 --> 00:16:51,310
Wow.
357
00:16:53,620 --> 00:16:54,827
Now, for me as a biologist,
358
00:16:54,827 --> 00:16:57,206
when I hear scratches
in an old abandoned building,
359
00:16:57,206 --> 00:16:59,620
I think the most
logical explanation
360
00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:02,620
has got to be
something like rodents
that live in here.
361
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:05,482
There's insects,
spiders for them to eat.
362
00:17:05,482 --> 00:17:08,689
This could be
an okay place for you to live
363
00:17:08,689 --> 00:17:10,689
if you're a rat.
364
00:17:10,689 --> 00:17:13,103
So we left a geophone
recording up in the chapel,
365
00:17:13,103 --> 00:17:15,275
and what I want to do is
366
00:17:15,275 --> 00:17:18,000
be rodent for a moment,
scratch at these walls.
367
00:17:21,862 --> 00:17:22,896
So...
368
00:17:23,689 --> 00:17:25,896
hopefully we'll be
able to analyze
369
00:17:25,896 --> 00:17:27,172
what we record
on the geophone.
370
00:17:27,172 --> 00:17:29,034
See if we pick up
anything similar.
371
00:17:34,482 --> 00:17:36,931
So, this
is an EMF tripwire
372
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:39,586
that detects changes
in the electromagnetic field.
373
00:17:39,586 --> 00:17:41,000
So if something
comes around me,
374
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,137
I'll know.
375
00:17:42,931 --> 00:17:45,379
This is a tempest.
376
00:17:45,379 --> 00:17:49,000
And it detects temperature,
humidity, dew point,
377
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,413
barometric pressure
378
00:17:50,413 --> 00:17:54,000
and it equates
all of those measurements
to a specific word.
379
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,103
So we can use this to
380
00:17:56,103 --> 00:17:58,413
theoretically communicate
with spirits.
381
00:17:59,379 --> 00:18:01,000
Is there anyone here with me?
382
00:18:05,103 --> 00:18:06,655
My name is Heather.
383
00:18:07,758 --> 00:18:11,103
You can use this EMF tripwire.
384
00:18:11,103 --> 00:18:14,620
Can you drop the temperature
like Tori said you could?
385
00:18:15,862 --> 00:18:18,517
Right now I'm at 56.66.
386
00:18:19,862 --> 00:18:21,344
That's three sixes in a row.
387
00:18:24,379 --> 00:18:25,827
Look at that.
388
00:18:27,931 --> 00:18:31,103
I mean, there could be
some cold air
coming out there.
389
00:18:31,103 --> 00:18:32,517
Here, let me check.
390
00:18:41,896 --> 00:18:43,000
It is so--
391
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,689
I'm reading one mile per hour.
392
00:18:45,689 --> 00:18:48,000
But, there is air
actually coming
393
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,896
from the other side
of this wall
394
00:18:50,896 --> 00:18:52,344
into this chamber.
395
00:18:53,517 --> 00:18:55,448
Where does that air come from?
396
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,896
Are you the one
that was scratching
underneath the chapel?
397
00:19:07,586 --> 00:19:10,758
Is there really
a pit to hell here?
398
00:19:14,689 --> 00:19:16,482
Inside parts.
399
00:19:16,482 --> 00:19:17,655
Who are you?
400
00:19:19,689 --> 00:19:20,793
NZ?
401
00:19:20,793 --> 00:19:21,827
Nazi?
402
00:19:22,482 --> 00:19:24,000
Were you a Nazi?
403
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,931
What were you doing
at Houska Castle?
404
00:19:38,172 --> 00:19:39,310
You're nearby?
405
00:19:42,379 --> 00:19:44,689
Is there someone
in here with me?
406
00:19:44,689 --> 00:19:46,137
What are you doing nearby?
407
00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:50,413
Are you still here with me?
408
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,206
Were the Nazis trying
to harness dark energy?
409
00:19:57,482 --> 00:20:00,103
If there is air
coming through here,
410
00:20:00,793 --> 00:20:01,931
then...
411
00:20:02,344 --> 00:20:03,758
where does it lead?
412
00:20:03,758 --> 00:20:05,413
That might be
in the courtyard,
413
00:20:15,448 --> 00:20:17,172
Wow.
414
00:20:17,172 --> 00:20:19,379
There is a breeze
blowing right through
this thing.
415
00:20:19,379 --> 00:20:21,413
There's a lot of air coming
out of this right now.
416
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:24,931
What the hell was that?
417
00:20:28,379 --> 00:20:29,482
Heather?
418
00:20:31,758 --> 00:20:35,689
Oh, my God. Oh, no.
419
00:20:35,689 --> 00:20:37,172
Is that what I think it is?
420
00:20:38,379 --> 00:20:40,137
Oh, my God.
421
00:20:40,137 --> 00:20:42,689
Dead bird.
Is that what I just heard?
422
00:20:42,689 --> 00:20:44,103
Look at this poor thing.
423
00:20:45,379 --> 00:20:46,793
Aw.
424
00:20:46,793 --> 00:20:48,241
No.
425
00:20:50,482 --> 00:20:51,965
Heather, are you there?
426
00:20:51,965 --> 00:20:53,068
Copy.
427
00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,034
I found something.
I'm up in the courtyard.
428
00:20:55,034 --> 00:20:56,241
You're gonna want to see this.
429
00:20:56,241 --> 00:20:57,724
I'll head your way.
430
00:21:01,275 --> 00:21:02,379
What did you find?
431
00:21:02,379 --> 00:21:03,275
Look.
432
00:21:03,793 --> 00:21:05,517
Oh, my word.
433
00:21:06,344 --> 00:21:07,517
Isn't that awful?
434
00:21:07,517 --> 00:21:09,965
Literally just fell out
of the sky right next to me.
435
00:21:09,965 --> 00:21:12,586
That's exactly
what they say happens here
all the time.
436
00:21:12,586 --> 00:21:15,448
So, here's the deal.
The reason I came up here
in the first place,
437
00:21:15,448 --> 00:21:17,827
take a look over here.
Look at this.
438
00:21:18,482 --> 00:21:19,827
Put your hand over this.
439
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,413
Feel that?
440
00:21:23,689 --> 00:21:25,172
-Cold air?
-Yeah.
441
00:21:25,172 --> 00:21:26,862
Yeah. So...
442
00:21:26,862 --> 00:21:30,241
that air is coming
from the cellar that I was in.
443
00:21:30,241 --> 00:21:34,172
And get this,
on the wall of the cellar,
I found a small hole.
444
00:21:34,172 --> 00:21:36,655
There was a current
of air passing through it.
445
00:21:36,655 --> 00:21:39,172
-In the direction
of the foundation...
-Chapel!
446
00:21:39,172 --> 00:21:40,448
...of the chapel.
447
00:21:41,758 --> 00:21:45,482
So, it's almost
as if there's air
underneath the chapel
448
00:21:45,482 --> 00:21:47,758
that is leading through
into the cellar,
449
00:21:47,758 --> 00:21:50,000
and getting funneled
and blown right out here.
450
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
So, maybe there is
a void here.
451
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:01,965
The next morning,
we gather more intel
about Houska.
452
00:22:01,965 --> 00:22:04,137
While Heather heads
to meet a local historian,
453
00:22:04,137 --> 00:22:07,482
I want to investigate
if the myth is true,
454
00:22:07,482 --> 00:22:10,172
whether a so-called pit
to hell really exists
455
00:22:10,172 --> 00:22:12,586
under the castle's
chapel floor.
456
00:22:20,793 --> 00:22:21,758
Frank.
457
00:22:21,758 --> 00:22:23,965
-You're the GPR guy, huh?
-That's me.
458
00:22:23,965 --> 00:22:25,793
Are you ready
to look for a portal
459
00:22:25,793 --> 00:22:27,758
-to hell?
-Yeah.
460
00:22:27,758 --> 00:22:29,275
Frank Casser is an expert
461
00:22:29,275 --> 00:22:32,137
on the latest
ground-penetrating
radar technology.
462
00:22:32,137 --> 00:22:33,689
It's all in the back.
It's all ready to go.
463
00:22:33,689 --> 00:22:36,793
He's brought
a cutting-edge GPR unit
that works by emitting
464
00:22:36,793 --> 00:22:39,482
an electromagnetic pulse
into the ground...
465
00:22:39,482 --> 00:22:41,172
This needs to go in here?
466
00:22:41,172 --> 00:22:44,241
...and recording
the echoes that bounce back
from anything subterranean.
467
00:22:44,965 --> 00:22:46,344
There we go.
468
00:22:46,344 --> 00:22:48,689
This can actually penetrate
meters of rock beneath us?
469
00:22:48,689 --> 00:22:49,689
Oh, absolutely.
470
00:22:49,689 --> 00:22:51,103
It's a very simple thing.
471
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:55,206
You're going to want to do
a 3D scan, okay?
472
00:22:55,896 --> 00:22:57,275
And you're going
to do "Parallel,"
473
00:22:57,275 --> 00:22:58,137
and start walking.
474
00:23:00,551 --> 00:23:03,103
This is the first time
in Houska's history
475
00:23:03,103 --> 00:23:06,448
that this type of technology
has been used to investigate
476
00:23:06,448 --> 00:23:10,275
the centuries-old legend
of the gateway to hell.
477
00:23:10,275 --> 00:23:11,965
-One more time.
478
00:23:11,965 --> 00:23:14,482
With Phil
on GPR duty in the chapel,
479
00:23:14,482 --> 00:23:17,758
I try to dig
into the bizarre "NZ"
that I got last night
480
00:23:17,758 --> 00:23:19,344
on the Tempest,
481
00:23:19,344 --> 00:23:22,689
by learning more about
the castle's Nazi ties.
482
00:23:22,689 --> 00:23:24,379
Ales. Thanks for meeting me.
483
00:23:24,379 --> 00:23:27,482
Ales Cesal is a writer
and historian
who has spent years
484
00:23:27,482 --> 00:23:31,448
researching Houska's
mysterious connections
to the Third Reich.
485
00:23:31,448 --> 00:23:33,965
Why were the Nazis
at Houska Castle?
486
00:23:33,965 --> 00:23:36,586
Um...
487
00:23:36,586 --> 00:23:39,586
The Nazis had
a network of depositories
488
00:23:39,586 --> 00:23:42,482
for all the books
they plundered across Europe.
489
00:23:42,482 --> 00:23:45,482
All the books
that they didn't burn,
490
00:23:45,482 --> 00:23:49,862
Houska Castle was
where they stored books
on the occult
491
00:23:49,862 --> 00:23:54,448
to harness the dark energy
they thought was there.
492
00:23:54,448 --> 00:23:59,586
They use these books
to perform pagan rituals
and sacrifices
493
00:23:59,586 --> 00:24:02,482
to unlock
the supernatural forces.
494
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:05,137
-This fascination went
all the way
495
00:24:05,137 --> 00:24:08,241
to the top
of the Nazi command, Himmler.
496
00:24:08,241 --> 00:24:11,586
And, possibly,
even Hitler visited Houska.
497
00:24:11,586 --> 00:24:17,551
Himmler really believed
that supernatural would help
the Nazis win the war.
498
00:24:17,551 --> 00:24:19,862
So, what do you think
is under Houska Castle?
499
00:24:19,862 --> 00:24:22,379
-I believe
the legend.
500
00:24:22,379 --> 00:24:26,482
I think that a fissure
opened up on the hillside
long ago,
501
00:24:26,482 --> 00:24:32,000
and that somehow acts
as a portal of the mysterious
dark energy.
502
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,793
Based on my own
personal experiences,
503
00:24:34,793 --> 00:24:37,275
I believe the source
of the dark energy
504
00:24:37,275 --> 00:24:40,586
is somewhere
underneath the castle.
505
00:24:40,586 --> 00:24:42,000
And what was your experience?
506
00:24:43,931 --> 00:24:47,000
I was doing
some research there,
staying overnight,
507
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,137
and I saw a dark shadow figure
in the hunting room.
508
00:24:51,137 --> 00:24:56,655
So, ever since then,
I've been certain that
the Houska legend is true.
509
00:24:57,862 --> 00:25:00,310
It's definitely
a powerful place.
510
00:25:01,275 --> 00:25:04,482
And you should be cautious.
511
00:25:04,482 --> 00:25:07,896
So, we've done the GPR.
We'll analyze that data later.
512
00:25:08,275 --> 00:25:09,655
What is this?
513
00:25:09,655 --> 00:25:11,965
This is
a fluxgate magnetometer.
514
00:25:11,965 --> 00:25:16,689
The magnetometer is simply
giving me a magnetic reading,
515
00:25:16,689 --> 00:25:18,896
saying I either
have something,
516
00:25:18,896 --> 00:25:20,758
or I don't have something.
517
00:25:20,758 --> 00:25:22,793
I'm going to give you
a little example here.
518
00:25:22,793 --> 00:25:26,034
If I go up or down, and say
I'm into absolutely nothing.
519
00:25:26,034 --> 00:25:29,068
-I am not receiving
any signal.
-Gotcha.
520
00:25:29,068 --> 00:25:31,586
I come down here,
I'm pretty much neutral.
521
00:25:32,896 --> 00:25:37,275
And this unit here uses
the Earth's core
as the radio sender,
522
00:25:37,275 --> 00:25:39,793
and then anything
that is disturbing the signal
523
00:25:39,793 --> 00:25:42,000
is going to show up
on our software afterwards.
524
00:25:43,689 --> 00:25:45,344
What is that noise?
525
00:25:45,344 --> 00:25:49,379
That is the absence
of material.
526
00:25:49,379 --> 00:25:51,068
So... So, a avoid?
527
00:25:51,068 --> 00:25:54,172
There's, like,
a part of the ground not here.
528
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,586
We have a void.
529
00:25:56,586 --> 00:25:57,793
Wow!
530
00:25:57,793 --> 00:26:01,551
Below what we're standing on,
there's nothing there.
531
00:26:01,551 --> 00:26:03,931
So, there really
could be a large chasm
beneath us.
532
00:26:14,793 --> 00:26:16,896
You're telling me
we actually found it?
533
00:26:17,275 --> 00:26:19,827
That is definitely a void.
534
00:26:20,241 --> 00:26:21,689
It's going somewhere,
535
00:26:21,689 --> 00:26:24,793
but it's deeper
than this device can detect.
536
00:26:25,241 --> 00:26:26,793
How deep can you detect?
537
00:26:26,793 --> 00:26:29,586
18 meters. That's 60 feet.
538
00:26:29,586 --> 00:26:31,000
That's pretty deep.
539
00:26:31,586 --> 00:26:32,482
Wow.
540
00:26:32,482 --> 00:26:35,275
I was not expecting this.
541
00:26:35,275 --> 00:26:37,827
There is some truth
to the history here after all.
542
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,793
For the first time ever,
543
00:26:40,793 --> 00:26:43,793
modern technology
has confirmed that there is,
544
00:26:43,793 --> 00:26:47,000
in fact, a large void
or hole
545
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,689
underneath Houska Castle.
546
00:26:48,689 --> 00:26:52,896
While I'm not ready
to concede that this hole
is actually a pit to hell,
547
00:26:52,896 --> 00:26:55,689
it is a huge scientific find,
548
00:26:55,689 --> 00:26:59,000
proving there is some truth
to Houska's myth.
549
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,172
We found it!
550
00:27:00,172 --> 00:27:01,275
-What?
-Yes!
551
00:27:01,275 --> 00:27:03,551
-No!
-Look at this.
552
00:27:03,551 --> 00:27:06,068
This is entering the chapel,
looking left to right.
553
00:27:06,068 --> 00:27:09,000
All of this green here,
that is solid ground.
554
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,689
And then you get
to this deep blue.
555
00:27:11,689 --> 00:27:14,379
That means a giant void
556
00:27:14,379 --> 00:27:17,068
underneath the chapel.
557
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:18,586
So, this could be
the pit to hell?
558
00:27:18,586 --> 00:27:19,482
Yeah.
559
00:27:19,482 --> 00:27:22,172
Multiple pieces of equipment,
560
00:27:22,172 --> 00:27:24,689
all of them confirmed
there's a pit
561
00:27:24,689 --> 00:27:27,689
as deep as this instrument
could possibly measure.
562
00:27:27,689 --> 00:27:29,241
That's incredible.
563
00:27:30,103 --> 00:27:32,482
Ales said
some interesting things, too.
564
00:27:32,482 --> 00:27:33,620
I want to check out
the hunting room.
565
00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:35,793
Not only did Tori
have experiences in there,
566
00:27:35,793 --> 00:27:37,172
Ales had experiences in there.
567
00:27:37,172 --> 00:27:38,448
Well, I'll tell you what.
568
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:40,275
You investigate
the hunting room,
569
00:27:40,275 --> 00:27:43,000
I want to look more
into the force surrounding
the castle.
570
00:27:43,689 --> 00:27:45,034
From the start,
we heard these stories
571
00:27:45,034 --> 00:27:47,758
of people seeing
unexplained creatures
out there.
572
00:27:47,758 --> 00:27:49,448
I've got to look into that.
573
00:27:49,448 --> 00:27:51,655
All right. So,
splitting up again
for the win?
574
00:27:51,655 --> 00:27:52,862
I guess so.
575
00:27:52,862 --> 00:27:53,793
All right.
576
00:27:53,793 --> 00:27:55,172
Okay.
577
00:27:58,275 --> 00:28:00,758
For centuries,
there have been
strange sightings
578
00:28:00,758 --> 00:28:03,482
of so-called demonic
human-animal hybrids
579
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:06,241
in the forest,
surrounding the castle.
580
00:28:06,241 --> 00:28:10,137
Large predators like bears,
wolves and lynxes are common
in these mountains.
581
00:28:10,137 --> 00:28:13,068
So, I'm wondering
if these encounters
might be real animals
582
00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:15,275
that people
are misidentifying.
583
00:28:15,275 --> 00:28:18,482
So, while Heather investigates
the repeated reports
584
00:28:18,482 --> 00:28:22,241
of shadow figures
in the hunting hall, I head
into the castle's woods,
585
00:28:22,241 --> 00:28:24,137
to see if I can find
any evidence
586
00:28:24,137 --> 00:28:26,241
of what might be lurking
out here.
587
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:31,413
Whoa.
588
00:28:31,413 --> 00:28:33,379
This is
my first time exploring
589
00:28:33,379 --> 00:28:35,896
the grounds
outside the castle.
590
00:28:35,896 --> 00:28:39,172
I've got a lot of woods
to cover out here.
591
00:28:39,172 --> 00:28:40,827
I need to use the FLIR.
592
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:55,172
So, I've calibrated this
so that anything living
593
00:28:55,172 --> 00:28:57,586
will show up bright white.
594
00:28:57,586 --> 00:29:01,413
And anything cold,
like the cold night sky,
will show up blue.
595
00:29:02,482 --> 00:29:04,000
Okay, let's get going.
596
00:29:08,586 --> 00:29:11,517
This is
where multiple people saw
that shadow figure.
597
00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:15,000
Let me set up some REM Pods.
598
00:29:18,344 --> 00:29:20,172
There's that one right there.
599
00:29:23,551 --> 00:29:26,310
That way,
I'll know that something
is in the room with us.
600
00:29:27,482 --> 00:29:29,172
Is there anyone here with me?
601
00:29:31,793 --> 00:29:34,206
I've got these REM Pods,
602
00:29:35,034 --> 00:29:38,379
right where Tori said
she saw that shadow figure.
603
00:29:40,172 --> 00:29:43,827
You can use
these REM Pods to answer.
You can knock.
604
00:29:45,275 --> 00:29:46,586
If you're here,
605
00:29:47,793 --> 00:29:49,000
please let me know.
606
00:29:52,689 --> 00:29:53,724
What the was that?
607
00:29:53,724 --> 00:29:55,379
That sounded like a door
shutting over there.
608
00:29:55,379 --> 00:29:57,103
Did you hear that?
609
00:30:01,793 --> 00:30:03,068
Is somebody there?
610
00:30:10,586 --> 00:30:12,517
Did you just shut that door?
611
00:30:13,758 --> 00:30:14,724
Hello?
612
00:30:24,586 --> 00:30:26,172
Ooh, big ledge here.
Big ledge.
613
00:30:32,137 --> 00:30:36,000
Come on, there's got to be
something alive out there.
614
00:30:42,275 --> 00:30:44,275
I just heard a door slam.
615
00:30:45,103 --> 00:30:46,241
Was that you?
616
00:30:50,655 --> 00:30:54,275
Do you know
what the Nazis did here?
617
00:30:58,586 --> 00:31:00,517
Are you in this room
with me right now?
618
00:31:02,896 --> 00:31:04,172
Literally. I thought I--
619
00:31:14,586 --> 00:31:17,103
Of the many
strange occurrences at Houska,
620
00:31:17,103 --> 00:31:21,103
it's tough to beat
what reportedly happened
to Karel Hynek Macha
621
00:31:21,103 --> 00:31:23,448
when he visited in 1836.
622
00:31:23,448 --> 00:31:26,379
It is said he discovered
a gaping pit at Houska,
623
00:31:26,379 --> 00:31:28,103
and was suddenly pulled
into it,
624
00:31:28,103 --> 00:31:30,172
transported to another world.
625
00:31:30,172 --> 00:31:35,448
Reportedly, a pale girl
approached him,
saying the year was 2006.
626
00:31:35,448 --> 00:31:38,172
Macha experienced
a smoky hellscape,
627
00:31:38,172 --> 00:31:42,689
people walking
between walls of metal
with huge webs in the sky,
628
00:31:42,689 --> 00:31:44,896
cliffs glowing
with squares of yellow.
629
00:31:44,896 --> 00:31:48,000
And the girl was carrying
a small box,
630
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,482
its surface alive
with ghoulish moving images.
631
00:31:51,482 --> 00:31:54,793
Macha suddenly, then woke up
back in 1836,
632
00:31:54,793 --> 00:31:57,344
left to wonder
if it was all a nightmare.
633
00:31:57,344 --> 00:31:58,310
But some believe,
634
00:31:58,310 --> 00:32:00,344
the webs
could have been power lines.
635
00:32:00,344 --> 00:32:02,034
The cliffs, skyscrapers,
636
00:32:02,034 --> 00:32:04,379
and the strange box
a cell phone.
637
00:32:04,379 --> 00:32:06,896
Could Houska
have somehow shown Macha
638
00:32:06,896 --> 00:32:09,241
a terrifyingly
accurate glimpse
639
00:32:09,241 --> 00:32:10,896
of our modern world?
640
00:32:28,379 --> 00:32:30,551
So, clearly something
is in the room with me.
641
00:32:41,862 --> 00:32:42,586
Hold up.
642
00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:44,000
Check it out. Check it out.
643
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,206
Got something on the FLIR.
644
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,862
Got a cold spot.
645
00:32:46,862 --> 00:32:47,896
Let's move!
646
00:32:49,620 --> 00:32:51,172
Whoa!
647
00:32:52,172 --> 00:32:53,275
Wow.
648
00:32:53,689 --> 00:32:54,620
Look at this.
649
00:32:54,620 --> 00:32:56,896
This could be
some creature's home.
650
00:32:56,896 --> 00:32:59,172
Oh, my God. What's back here?
651
00:32:59,896 --> 00:33:01,275
Wow.
652
00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:08,137
Are you still here with me?
653
00:33:12,103 --> 00:33:14,206
Do you know
the secrets of Houska?
654
00:33:23,137 --> 00:33:24,827
I'll take that as a "yes"?
655
00:33:26,206 --> 00:33:28,172
Are the secrets of Houska
656
00:33:28,862 --> 00:33:30,000
in the chapel?
657
00:33:35,379 --> 00:33:36,793
It's a "yes."
658
00:33:40,793 --> 00:33:42,896
Do I need to go to the chapel?
659
00:33:47,793 --> 00:33:51,551
I mean, you don't get
any better activity
on REM Pods.
660
00:33:51,551 --> 00:33:54,137
That is a "yes."
661
00:33:55,586 --> 00:33:56,827
Oh, my God.
662
00:33:57,379 --> 00:33:58,551
Hang on.
663
00:33:59,862 --> 00:34:01,137
What?
664
00:34:02,758 --> 00:34:04,827
It's going deep back there.
665
00:34:05,413 --> 00:34:06,896
I mean, this legitimately
666
00:34:07,275 --> 00:34:09,793
could be another opening
667
00:34:09,793 --> 00:34:12,379
to said chasm
underneath the castle.
668
00:34:30,586 --> 00:34:31,931
Phil, are you there?
669
00:34:33,068 --> 00:34:34,344
Heather, what's going on?
670
00:34:34,344 --> 00:34:36,586
-It has been crazy
up here.
671
00:34:36,586 --> 00:34:39,172
The REM Pods
are going off non-stop.
672
00:34:39,172 --> 00:34:41,620
There's something in here
with me right now.
673
00:34:41,620 --> 00:34:42,965
I don't know what's going on,
674
00:34:42,965 --> 00:34:45,862
but it feels like something
is pushing me to the chapel.
675
00:34:45,862 --> 00:34:47,586
Let's meet
in the chapel.
Head there now.
676
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,448
Copy that.
677
00:34:59,034 --> 00:35:01,344
-Heather? Hey.
-Hey.
678
00:35:02,413 --> 00:35:03,689
Back in the chapel, huh?
679
00:35:03,689 --> 00:35:06,034
Back in the chapel.
680
00:35:06,034 --> 00:35:07,206
Something led us
directly here,
681
00:35:07,206 --> 00:35:09,137
and I think
it knows Houska's secrets.
682
00:35:09,137 --> 00:35:12,103
-Okay.
-So, where is this chasm?
683
00:35:12,103 --> 00:35:14,793
I actually taped it off.
Look right here. See these?
684
00:35:14,793 --> 00:35:19,862
So, underneath me right now,
they detected solid ground.
685
00:35:19,862 --> 00:35:22,275
But right in this area,
686
00:35:22,275 --> 00:35:26,448
and see, between this,
that's about 3 or 4 feet wide,
goes over there.
687
00:35:26,448 --> 00:35:29,586
All of this, a giant void
688
00:35:29,586 --> 00:35:31,413
leading straight to here.
689
00:35:31,413 --> 00:35:32,793
Underneath this wall,
690
00:35:32,793 --> 00:35:34,793
which, Heather,
look at this fresco.
691
00:35:34,793 --> 00:35:39,000
We saw it earlier,
but now, to me, it has
a whole other significance.
692
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,034
Because that spear
is literally pointing
to the void underneath us.
693
00:35:44,034 --> 00:35:46,655
And it's St. Michael slaying
the dragon.
694
00:35:46,655 --> 00:35:48,689
It's like this clue
was hidden in plain sight.
695
00:35:48,689 --> 00:35:49,827
Yeah.
696
00:35:50,137 --> 00:35:51,413
So,
697
00:35:51,413 --> 00:35:52,517
what have you got prepared
for us?
698
00:35:52,517 --> 00:35:53,793
First we need
to light some candles.
699
00:35:53,793 --> 00:35:55,758
-Yeah, let's do it.
-All right.
700
00:35:58,517 --> 00:36:02,379
I have to reach out
to whatever may have lured me
back to the chapel.
701
00:36:02,379 --> 00:36:07,068
So, I want to try
a communication ritual
that Ales told me about.
702
00:36:07,068 --> 00:36:09,689
We outlined the pit to hell
with white candles.
703
00:36:11,620 --> 00:36:14,655
Then, we lay out
some protective salt
that will encircle me.
704
00:36:16,275 --> 00:36:17,310
Inside the salt circle
705
00:36:17,310 --> 00:36:20,000
is a candle
representing St. Cyprian,
706
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,310
an ancient Roman pagan
who became a Christian bishop.
707
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,689
Using one
of my research books,
708
00:36:25,689 --> 00:36:28,551
I'll recite an incantation
from inside the circle,
709
00:36:28,551 --> 00:36:32,034
and then use dowsing rods
to try to communicate
with whoever
710
00:36:32,034 --> 00:36:35,000
or whatever may be
in here with us.
711
00:36:36,896 --> 00:36:38,344
Let the ritual begin.
712
00:36:38,344 --> 00:36:39,448
Okay.
713
00:36:41,344 --> 00:36:42,862
"Oh, Cyprian,
714
00:36:42,862 --> 00:36:46,689
let not any spirits harm us
within this space,
715
00:36:46,689 --> 00:36:48,689
nor enter into our circle.
716
00:36:48,689 --> 00:36:51,310
Compel all spirits
in this place to answer
717
00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:52,620
by the light of your candle,
718
00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:56,000
which symbolizes
the light of truth
and the fire of hell."
719
00:37:12,862 --> 00:37:14,689
That window
just slammed.
720
00:37:18,896 --> 00:37:20,241
I mean, it's latched.
721
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,448
Is it a big drop?
722
00:37:23,448 --> 00:37:24,586
Yeah.
723
00:37:25,758 --> 00:37:27,172
Huge cliff edge.
724
00:37:28,275 --> 00:37:29,862
That...
725
00:37:29,862 --> 00:37:31,000
...is absolutely insane.
726
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,620
I don't even understand.
727
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:34,827
I thought it was shut.
728
00:37:37,482 --> 00:37:39,344
Let's make
these dowsing rods quick.
729
00:37:40,793 --> 00:37:42,655
Okay. I'm gonna prime
the dowsing rods.
730
00:37:42,655 --> 00:37:44,793
Can you cross for "yes,"
731
00:37:44,793 --> 00:37:45,931
if you're with us?
732
00:37:50,482 --> 00:37:52,172
Can you straighten for now?
733
00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:55,551
Thank you.
734
00:37:58,413 --> 00:38:01,344
Were you the one
that just slammed the window?
735
00:38:10,206 --> 00:38:11,310
Yes?
736
00:38:17,586 --> 00:38:19,827
Are you here in the room
with us right now?
737
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,137
"Yes."
738
00:38:27,793 --> 00:38:29,172
Very big "yes."
739
00:38:30,655 --> 00:38:33,000
Is there a pit to hell...
740
00:38:33,379 --> 00:38:34,517
beneath me?
741
00:38:43,689 --> 00:38:47,241
Did...
the Nazis summon you?
742
00:38:53,965 --> 00:38:55,344
That's a "yes"?
743
00:38:57,655 --> 00:38:58,931
Are you...
744
00:38:59,344 --> 00:39:01,137
trapped below us?
745
00:39:01,689 --> 00:39:03,758
Yes.
746
00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:08,793
Heather,
you doing okay?
747
00:39:08,793 --> 00:39:11,310
Absolutely terrified.
748
00:39:12,482 --> 00:39:15,000
What...
749
00:39:20,793 --> 00:39:22,000
Are you okay?
750
00:39:26,482 --> 00:39:27,793
Seems like
you've gotten
751
00:39:27,793 --> 00:39:30,689
some significant answers
to what you've been asking.
752
00:39:30,689 --> 00:39:32,758
I don't want you
to push this any further
753
00:39:32,758 --> 00:39:35,689
than you're comfortable.
It seems like we are
right at the edge.
754
00:39:36,172 --> 00:39:37,413
Yeah.
755
00:39:37,413 --> 00:39:39,862
Then, I think it's safe
that we can shut
this thing down.
756
00:39:39,862 --> 00:39:41,137
-I agree.
-Okay.
757
00:39:41,137 --> 00:39:42,413
What do we need to do?
758
00:39:42,413 --> 00:39:44,206
Black dagger
from my backpack.
759
00:39:44,206 --> 00:39:45,344
Okay.
760
00:39:48,793 --> 00:39:50,586
To close
the communication ritual,
761
00:39:50,586 --> 00:39:53,000
I make the sign
of a pentagram using a dagger,
762
00:39:55,241 --> 00:39:56,793
extinguish
the center candle...
763
00:39:57,586 --> 00:39:59,275
...and break the salt circle.
764
00:40:00,862 --> 00:40:02,103
Okay.
765
00:40:04,172 --> 00:40:05,172
Okay.
766
00:40:05,172 --> 00:40:06,689
-Circle's broken.
-Yeah.
767
00:40:06,689 --> 00:40:08,206
Yeah.
Here, I can put that
away for you.
768
00:40:08,206 --> 00:40:11,275
Hey. What's going on?
769
00:40:12,862 --> 00:40:15,517
-What...
-What the is that?
770
00:40:15,517 --> 00:40:17,482
Heather, you got bruises
right there.
771
00:40:19,103 --> 00:40:21,517
-Was that there before?
-No.
772
00:40:21,517 --> 00:40:22,655
Where...
Where were you standing?
773
00:40:22,655 --> 00:40:24,379
You were standing
basically right here.
774
00:40:24,379 --> 00:40:27,000
I just stepped out
of the circle,
775
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,275
and then...
then it was, like...
776
00:40:29,413 --> 00:40:31,448
-...like, just a cramp.
-I mean,
777
00:40:31,448 --> 00:40:33,793
it happened
the second you stepped out.
778
00:40:33,793 --> 00:40:35,000
I'm gonna pass out.
779
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:43,137
Next time
on Expedition X...
780
00:40:48,034 --> 00:40:51,793
My team continues
their investigation
into Nazi occultism.
781
00:40:51,793 --> 00:40:54,172
How is this still standing?
782
00:40:54,172 --> 00:40:58,275
Traveling to Poland,
where a former
SS ritual site...
783
00:40:59,275 --> 00:41:01,137
What the hell was that?
784
00:41:02,310 --> 00:41:06,413
...leads them
into the deepest depths
of a paranormal underworld.
785
00:41:07,517 --> 00:41:08,586
Ooh!
786
00:41:08,586 --> 00:41:10,482
-Is that water?
-That's water.
787
00:41:10,482 --> 00:41:11,724
Is that it?
788
00:41:11,724 --> 00:41:14,034
-That's a flooded tunnel.
-I think we found it.
789
00:41:14,034 --> 00:41:15,379
Is there anyone here with us?
790
00:41:16,758 --> 00:41:18,241
Whoa!
791
00:41:18,241 --> 00:41:20,482
Revealing
mind-bending secrets...
792
00:41:20,482 --> 00:41:22,034
A wonder weapon, uh,
793
00:41:22,034 --> 00:41:23,689
"wunderwaffe" in German.
794
00:41:23,689 --> 00:41:25,103
Something supernatural...
795
00:41:25,103 --> 00:41:27,724
That the Nazis tried
to hide.
796
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,448
What?
797
00:41:29,448 --> 00:41:30,931
Something just went
across the passageway
down there.
798
00:41:30,931 --> 00:41:33,103
It was not a reflection.
It was something light
crossing the tunnel.
799
00:41:33,103 --> 00:41:35,482
Please don't tell me
that's what I think it is.
800
00:41:35,482 --> 00:41:37,448
Heather, I found bones.
801
00:41:37,448 --> 00:41:39,000
You found human bones?
