well, dustin, I'm finally glad
that you could make it To transylvania.
dustin: yeah, man. Absolutely.
this is one of the hot spots That everybody in the field
wants to get to At least once.
I've never been this far Into transylvania before.
you know, we're just Outside cluj-napoca.
hey, guys, there's something I want to make mention to you
while we're here in romania is, There have been new stories,
Actually, Within even the last year
Of romanian citizens That have unearthed corpses
And taken out their hearts And burned them
For fear that they were Going to return from the dead
As vampires.
Also, belief in just The superstition in general
Is still an integral part Of romanian society.
That's right. Yeah.
robb: listen, brandy has Quite a case for us here.
we're here to investigate Bánffy castle,
and she's gonna let us know What the details are.
Brandy: paranormal activity At bánffy include
Wandering shadowy figures,
Strange noises, Including disembodied voices.
The castle is now actually Used as a restoration school
For students From all over the world.
And many of the students Have claimed to have had
A lot of personal Paranormal experiences.
Well, this is it. You can't See much from the outside,
But I can't wait to get in there And take a look.
Robb: david.
Robb. Nice to meet you.
very, very good to meet you. Welcome to bánffy castle.
I'm personally looking forward To getting some solid evidence
Because a lot of the students Have told me stories.
And I don't disbelieve people, But at the same time,
With a little bit of scientific Evidence to help that along
Or maybe even To completely prove it
Would make a huge difference.
And can you tell us about the History of the castle itself?
It belonged To the bánffy family.
They had been governors Of transylvania
For hundreds of years.
The last occupant of the castle Was bánffy miklós.
He left the castle In 1944.
So all the way Through the castle's life,
It has had People living here
Of high noble status, As it were.
And we understand You also have some guests
Who don't want to leave Their noble home.
I'm hoping that you will Help us find out
Whether we do Or whether we don't.
Should we head out There now? Sure.
Baxter: and we're now In the renaissance courtyard.
There are stories That a young boy
Has been seen Walking around here.
The basic story Is that a young lady
In some way associated With the castle
Was having an illicit affair,
And she was spotted Leaving the castle
At some time or other By a young stableboy.
The stableboy, I understand,
Was going to report her For doing this.
She got her vengeance.
She tried to seduce him, and in The seduction, she killed him.
And the story is That he is buried somewhere
Within the grounds here.
All right, Shall we head inside? Sure. Let me take you in.
Bede: the students Will very often come to us
and tell us About their impressions.
They mentioned That it was very scary
To just go up Where the bedrooms are,
And they were afraid To go alone.
I think that it's possible That bánffy castle is haunted.
Baxter: Within the stables here,
There were originally 32 horses.
These are the drinking troughs For the horses.
They're beautifully Carved in stone,
Which is typical Of the baroque period.
But I want to show you one That is very different.
Let me show you.
Behind this board Is a room,
Which we've never been into.
It's at the junction Of the 16th-century tower
And the 18th-century stables.
Can we get in there And take a look around some?
This is The only way in...
And the only way out.
Okay. Terrific.
Where are we Off to next? The blue room.
I'm gonna take you up through What was the dining room
And then Into the blue room.
Be careful Coming up here.
This is the blue room.
It's in this room
That the students claim To have seen shadows, movement.
[ speaking romanian ]
Well, thank you very much For inviting us here
And giving us a tour.
We're still really excited To get in here
And see if we can provide you And your students some answers.
I look forward to hearing What you're gonna come up with.
Let's go through here.
You know, david brings us in And lets us know
That his students are a little Put off, a little nervous
Because they keep seeing These black shapes.
There's been reports Of apparitions.
First thing We're gonna do tonight
Is try and make sure That we can find
Alternative explanations For this activity,
Make sure That it's not paranormal,
And either way try And give david the message
That he can give to his students That it's perfectly safe here.
David took us into some Of the areas that he restored.
It's absolutely amazing.
What I do find Kind of interesting, though,
Is that where all of the Paranormal activity is happening
Is the area of the castle That isn't renovated.
that's curious 'cause usually It's the other way around.
Barry: okay, guys.
In the blue room, We have the ultrasonic
and the human hearing Covered.
We also have a camera Running up there,
Which is shining across At the two windows,
And we've also got Another camera shooting
Across to the courtyard where The stableboy has been seen.
All right. Let's get to it.
robb: brandy and I started out In the stables
Because we had heard the story Of a stableboy who was murdered.
Figured this would be a good Place to have the evp session
And see if we can't find The young man.
Okay. I'm gonna take This side.
Do you want me To go over here? Yeah.
Now, we know there's Someone around here...
That got into a spot Of trouble, didn't you?
We also know that, If you were a stableboy,
You were probably pretty young, Probably, what, 10 or 11?
I can't imagine your feelings Now towards women,
But please know That I'm here only
To observe you
And to make contact, Prove that you're here.
I mean you no further harm.
[ rustling ]
What the hell was that? Was that a door shutting?
It sounded like it came From right behind me.
robb: brandy and I came down to The stables to do an evp session
And see if we could make contact With the boy who was murdered.
I can't imagine your feelings Now towards women,
But please know That I'm here only
to observe you And to make contact,
prove that you're here.
I mean you no further harm.
[ rustling ]
What the hell was that? Was that a door shutting?
It sounded like it came From right behind me.
All right.
If there is someone in here Who is capable of making a noise
Or if you made that noise A few moments ago,
Could you make Another noise now?
I know for a fact You are not used to
Having people walking around Here in the middle of the night.
you have to know Something's going on.
Now, you can see that I brought My teammate brandy here.
She's sitting over there All by herself.
Just for fun, I want you To sneak up right behind her,
And I want you to whisper Something right in her ear.
so, dustin, During the tour,
I'd seen something That caught my eye,
Which may have caused The shadows
Up in these two windows. Right.
So I'm going to try And reproduce that,
But what I need you to do
Is to angle yourself down This way toward the dormitory,
'cause that's where the guys Are seeing the shadows move.
As long as you've got focus Of those two windows.
Okay? Very well.
All right.
Barry: What I noticed during the tour
Was that the sun Was getting low,
And my shadow was being cast On the wall,
and it brought me back to the Shadow being seen moving across,
So that's what I'm trying To duplicate the south
In two of the windows, See if we can reproduce that.
And just for reference,
We're getting some disturbance In the magnetic fields.
Do you have a reading on it? What's it hitting?
Just hear it In the background going off,
Just very slightly. Got you.
Robb: emf stands For electromagnetic field.
We use our devices To measure that field.
When we get a high emf reading
And there's no source That we can explain it from,
At that point, Some people believe
That you're measuring Spirit activity.
Dustin, I am about To walk past.
Could you tell me From your perspective
If you can see a shadow Pass by those windows?
All right, I'm standing by. Go ahead.
Okay, here I go.
I can see a shadow move,
mostly being cast On the far wall.
But as to seeing A shadow figure walk by,
I can't make anything out Within the window itself.
And you're able to see That shadow cast
From window to window To window.
Correct. A quick question, though, barry.
Back in the main window That's over the front door,
You got anybody In that room?
Hold on. Just check.
All clear, dustin.
Yeah, I definitely saw Movement in that center room
Where there is no floor.
I thought I saw something Go across the top.
Why is there A flashing light up there?
Barry: As I was standing here,
Just behind me there was just This flash of light appear.
Let's check it out.
Where is that hole?
There it is again.
Hold on a second. This isn't--
And at the same time
That flash of light That I caught in the blue room
Appeared in the room where The floor has fallen away.
Guys, I need to check where You guys are right now.
D. Pari In the courtyard.
andy at command central.
Brandy and robb In the stables.
Anyone using flashlights In this building?
No.
Nope.
Barry: I went in to see what it was,
To see if there was Something there
That was causing the light To flash like that, to which There wasn't.
Barry: and there was a flash Of light in the blue room.
Dustin: Yeah, that's the room where I thought I saw movement.
That's the one where The floor is not there.
I was just doing-- check out Over here by the tudor room
'cause I heard some weird noises Coming out of there.
Okay, I think we might need To keep an eye on this one.
Sounds like a plan, Brother.
Dustin: while I was out here In the courtyard,
I started hearing all these Sounds coming off the left wing,
Which is the gothic part, The tudor room.
So I'm walking closer To investigate that...
[ hissing ]
That's freaking crazy.
Yeah! It sounds like A freaking dragon.
Dustin: while I was out here In the courtyard,
I started hearing these sounds Coming off the tudor room.
[ hissing ]
that's freaking crazy.
yeah, it sounds like A freaking dragon.
hey, andrews, you know a lot About animals, right?
andy: a little bit. What do you need to know?
Come over To the tudor room, man.
Whatever this hissing noise is, It is getting intense.
I'm on my way.
I've never heard Anything like that before.
All right, so what makes That dragon-like hissing sound?
All right, sounds like It's coming from right up here.
From that corner?
I'm wondering if it's something, Maybe like an owl.
You would imagine If it was a nest or something,
You would find bits and pieces Lying down here.
Well, yeah, you'd find Some owl pellets.
Yep. Bingo. So, there you go.
Barry: An owl it is, then. An owl it is.
Robb: what we decided to do To investigate the area
in which barry and dustin Had both seen activity
was for myself and dustin
to come back Into this entryway area.
I went upstairs where I did An evp session.
Dustin stayed down here With the handycam.
[ beep ]
All right, this is dustin And robb in the main entryway.
We know that people tonight
Have seen something Walking around in here.
I certainly would enjoy The opportunity
To see the same thing.
Is there any way That anyone present
Could walk towards me At this point?
We know You're capable of it.
Just give us another sign To show us that you're here.
We heard the story Of a boy who was murdered.
Do you know Who that boy was?
Is that boy still here?
You hear that Behind you, dustin?
Yeah.
It was near The entranceway.
At that point, Both dustin and I heard a sound
Coming from The entranceway itself.
I happened to be looking In that general direction.
I didn't see anything.
But both dustin and I Definitely heard that sound
Coming from the entranceway.
Dustin: were you able to see Anything, or you just heard it?
No, I heard the distinct noise Right by the entryway.
Yeah.
I mean, I could see That there was no one there.
[ camera shutter clicks ]
barry: tonight we've almost Got a full moon
here in transylvania,
And it's shining directly
Onto the front facade Of the property.
What I was intending To do out here
Was using the full-spectrum, And I was also utilizing
The standard camera That we use, as well,
And utilizing the moonlight,
Which is giving a backwash of Ultraviolet light from the sun.
see if we can catch anything
that should appear In the windows,
which lie in this front facade.
[ camera shutter clicks ]
Okay.
Andy: basically on tour They let us know
That when they removed One of these watering troughs,
They found that there was A secret room right behind it.
Brandy: mm-hmm.
And do we know the stability Of the architecture inside?
David couldn't tell us Anything. Okay.
They were doing restoration.
They removed one of the Water troughs for the horses,
And, boom, there's this room Behind there.
It's tight. It's small. No one's been back there before.
what do you say we start off With a thermal sweep in here?
That's a good idea.
Okay.
Seeing that I have brandy Working with me,
I was able to use A thermal-imaging camera.
It's a tool that usually You want two people on.
You have the actual camera,
And then we have a screen That's attached to it
So that you get a better image.
I'm not really Seeing anything
that would signify any nature Or temperature change.
I'm gonna sweep around.
Wait a minute.
What's that?
Hold on.
Let me see if I can move Some of these rocks.
[ clattering ]
Wait a minute, what's--
Brandy, Are you getting this?
I am. I see definitely A temperature change.
What am I seeing?
It's a shaft. It's a tunnel.
All right. I want to figure out Where that goes.
All right, brandy, Can you hear me?
I can hear you. Go ahead.
All right, So, it continues down.
All right, Hold on a minute.
Okay, I'm kind of-- I'm hung up on something.
Give me a minute.
I'm gonna take A little extra slack.
Okay.
Andy, are you okay?
[clattering]
All right, hold on. I'm still hung up.
Shoot! Give me a little slack.
All right.
It was just really awesome.
I don't know if we've Necessarily solved the mystery.
We've discovered something.
We're going to be able To propose
Some more information To the client,
And without That thermal-imaging camera,
I don't know if I would have Found that exit tunnel.
Drops down To a basement...
Mm-hmm.
...That runs underneath That whole tower.
Robb: hey, guys, we're hearing The rooster up here.
So let's get going.
Let's get packed up And head for home.
I think we got Some great results
With the experiment That we started off with.
We really wanted to try to see If we could mimic the shadows,
Which I think was successful.
Barry: Tonight's investigation I felt,
On a personal level, Went really well.
My interest is gonna be piqued
By the full-spectrum still shots That were taken.
I hope that everyone gets A really good night's rest
When we get home, Because going through evidence
Is really gonna be tough On this one.
Barry: right, brandy, that was Bánffy castle in transylvania.
It's certainly like stepping Back 100 years into the past.
It absolutely is. [ chuckles ]
Okay, well, if you'd cover Wireless audio for me
That was running In the tudor room...
I think what I'll do, Because I was outside
At the time During the investigation,
Taking still shots With the full-spectrum
And the standard camera,
I want to see If there's anything
That has shown up In those images.
Okay. Okay.
Barry: There was something slightly Different done at bánffy castle.
I went outside With the standard camera
And the full-spectrum camera.
So I'm wondering What might have showed up.
Brandy...
Have a look at that.
It's something I can't explain. I don't know what it is.
I've never seen Anything like that before.
It's got What we can't see.
That'sexactly what I was hoping The full-spectrum would do.
It's pretty amazing.
I think the guys
Are going to be really Impressed with this one.
Hey. Hey, guys.
We knew this was gonna be kind Of tough evidence to go through.
How was it? It was Very, very tough.
Brandy, if you want to lead Into this first one? Yes, certainly.
there was a piece of audio That was found
on the minidv During you and dustin,
Your evp session together Near the blue room.
It comes in right after You're asking a question.
is that boy still here?
you hear that Behind you, dustin? Yeah.
yeah, I remember that, And the good thing about that
is there was That front doorway,
And we knew that you were Right outside taking pictures,
So were anyone To go in or out,
You would have spotted him, And both of us were actually
Kind of looking over in that Direction when the noise came.
So I'm glad We actually picked it up.
We actually picked up More than that.
Obviously, As you pointed out,
I was outside taking shots With full-spectrum
and the correlating standard Camera beside each other.
now, with these Particular shots,
you will see The standard camera.
this is what we can see.
I need to emphasize that This camera sees what we see.
the corresponding Full-spectrum camera,
you'll see the front Of the facade
lit up Much more considerably
because of our I.R. Lights From our d.V. Cameras.
However, On the full-spectrum camera,
We see something else.
If you have a look, we can Zoom in on this doorway.
You will see Whatever this thing is
Come out from the doorway
And break the front Of the facade as it's leaving.
And it seems to be Self-illuminating.
Combine that with the fact
That dustin and I heard Something in that doorway,
That's a pretty good catch.
Robb: david, how are you? Good to see you again.
It's good to see You both again.
I'm waiting With anticipation here
to see what you're Gonna tell me.
Oh, well, we have quite a bit To talk to you about.
Big thing being That as soon as we arrived,
You were gracious enough To give us a great tour
And mention that There were two areas
That you particularly Wanted to see
If you could get Some answers to.
One of the first things That you had alerted us to
Is the fact that some of the Students at the end of the day
Would look up at the castle And sometimes see shadows
Going through Two certain windows.
We always try to look for A logical explanation first. Okay.
And the team actually Set up an experiment.
Barry took some light, Lit the back of the castle,
And then proceeded to walk past Certain windows.
And immediately Dustin did notice
That it gives you that dark, Shadowy silhouette as you go by. Right.
Now, are we saying that That is what every student saw?
Absolutely not.
But are we saying That we were able to replicate
A kind of alternative where Someone would see this dark mass
But wouldn't be able to see The actual person?
Yes. We were able To do that.
So, that's A potential explanation
But not the only one, I guess.
Not the only one. Okay.
The other thing you asked us to Look into was the secret room.
We were actually using A thermal-imaging camera,
Which will give us a view In heat signatures.
Mm-hmm.
All of a sudden, We noticed a cold spot.
And upon further inspection, We removed some of the rubble,
And there's actually A tunnel--
A tunnel? Yes.
A tunnel that leaves The opposite wall,
And it runs right down into The basement, right underneath.
I wonder whether It was a route
For potentially moving archives At a time of siege
Or moving archives If there were problems
Direct to the stables And away.
Which would make Much sense, yeah.
And, so, we have Some personal experiences
That we'd like To share with you. Great.
At this point, We're pretty happy
Because you came in And said, you know,
"These are the two things I'm really curious about,"
And we felt we came up with some Interesting ideas about those.
So while barry and dustin
Are doing this experiment With the window,
Dustin, who was outside With his handycam,
He actually saw a dark mass Moving across those windows,
Except those windows Are the ones he sees
On the second floor right above The main entranceway,
And as you know... There's no floor.
...There's no floor.
You're trying To spook me now.
Unfortunately, this mass he saw In that window was not captured,
So it's a personal experience.
It's nothing that we can Obviously present as evidence.
And so we went on.
We continued to investigate Specifically in that area.
We actually had Myself and dustin
In that center area By the door.
We were asking questions,
And we want you to actually Just watch and take a listen
To what happened At that point. Okay.
is that boy still here?
you hear that Behind you, dustin? Yeah.
Yeah, I can hear Like a-- like a knock.
It was certainly Surprising to us
To get something That immediate,
You know, a solid knock, After the question was posed.
Barry now takes his turn To go outside,
Taking photographs With two different cameras.
From the courtyard?
From the courtyard.
They're identical cameras,
But one of them sees Into the full spectrum.
Okay.
Ultraviolet light, Visible light, and infrared.
What he's doing Is taking pictures
At the same time On both cameras
So that we're able to compare And contrast the images.
So this is it In parallel. Correct.
The one on the left Is with a standard camera.
The one on the right Is in full spectrum.
You can see that it's picking up The infrared light
Directed towards The stables courtyard
From our dvr system.
Right there. I see it.
As you can see, there's nothing Particularly strange
In either photograph.
And he took a series of these Every three seconds.
This would be The next.
And this light?
This is the light You've picked up on.
Can we zoom in?
Here it is.
That's a nice shot of it Right here.
It is, yeah. It's quite an intense light.
And if you look at it size-wise In comparison to the door,
One of the first things That we said is,
"That almost looks Football-size."
That's a good-sized object.
But it illuminates A significant area.
It's not just A ball of light.
Here's what's interesting About this.
Neither of these cameras That are going off here
Are giving off a flash.
So whatever that light is, It's self-illuminating.
It's giving off Its own light.
You know, That's fairly bright.
And it would have had to be Moving very fast,
Because three seconds later, Another picture was taken,
And it was gone.
And it didn't reappear At all?
It never reappeared Anywhere in the courtyard.
I'm very surprised.
I believe The scientific explanation
That there's something strange Going on there.
Wow.
Yeah, I think That given this light,
We feel there is A strange happening here.
There is Some anomalous stuff
That we weren't Quite able to explain.
But at the same time, For us to take the large step
To say this is haunted,
You know, we wouldn't be able To go that far
Based on what we have.
We can definitely say that there Was some strange anomalies.
Well, thank you so much.
I mean, I really enjoyed Your company here.
And we had A great time, david.
Thank you very much.
Here we go. All right.
Baxter: whether bánffy castle Is haunted,
I still would not be prepared To give a definitive answer.
What I would say Is that from evidence
That's been presented Through the ghi team,
There are even more Unexplained elements here
Than when we first started.
Andy: well, I think David was very pleased.
Robb: we did the job we were Brought in for, you know?
He asked us to come in, Find out about the secret room
And find out what students were Seeing up in these two windows.
We did that.
Yeah, I just can't help but To imagine a lot more students
Hanging out on the patio At night drinking coffee,
Keeping their eye On the castle, you know?
Yeah.
I'm excited to see What brandy has for us next. Absolutely.
Robb: hey, guys.
Dustin: hey, robbie d. What's up?
So, you know how Brandy kept telling us
That we had A really big case coming up,
But she wouldn't tell us What it was?
Get ready for this one.
Dustin, I know that you have A profound interest in dracula.
Well, I have poenari castle For us to investigate.
Poenari castle was the site Of mass torture, many deaths,
At which time it was actually Owned by vlad tepes the impaler,
Or more commonly known As dracula.
This is one of the stories And legends
That first got me Interested in the paranormal.
So I look forward To being here
And doing the research On this later on.
That's it.
Robb: well, obviously we got to Find the stairs and head on up.
This castle Is going to be different.
We have over 1,400 steps To climb.
Why don't we grab some of The equipment now and head up?
If you guys could get the rest Of the equipment into bags,
And we'll see you At the top. No problem.
There's definitely a lot Of history on this one, huh?
There is.
I mean, certainly doing This case is something
That the three of us have Talked about for a long time.
And now to get The opportunity
To actually do The real dracula's castle. Yeah.
The movie and all that was based On another castle
Where vlad tepes Certainly visited,
But as far as the castle that he Picked to make his final stand,
To make his big defensive hold, To make his main castle is here.
Robb: Poenari castle was the main Fortress of count vlad tepes.
It's also believed that the Horrific story of vlad's life
Was the inspiration For the character count dracula.
Vlad was kept in captivity For several years
By the turkish empire
And tortured using Numerous techniques.
Vlad would later wage battles Against the larger turkish army,
And as an intimidation tactic,
He took 20,000 Turkish prisoners,
Impaled their bodies With large spears,
And stuck them In the ground like trees,
Earning him the nickname Vlad the impaler.
Long walk, But certainly worth it.
We made it.
Andy: this is unbelievable.
There it is.
Hi, I'm robb. Hi. Bogdan. Welcome.
I'm andy. Welcome.
ghi seems to deal With the paranormal
from a scientific point of view.
And me being rather skeptical,
I'd like to see Scientific proof.
I would be very intrigued to see Exactly what they come up with.
Welcome to the fortress Of poenari.
Let me tell you about
The history of the castle A little bit.
In the 14th century, When it was built,
This square tower, It was the original building.
50 years later, The famous vlad the impaler
Begins reconstructing The fortress around this tower
And made what we like to call An eagle's nest
In this beautiful mountain.
So quite difficult to come And conquer this fortress.
Vlad the impaler Always had problems
With the noblemen Of the country.
Some of them betrayed His father, vlad dracul.
His father was killed.
Vlad knew who actually Betrayed his father.
So at easter time,
He invited all his people For the easter feast.
And then all of them were taken Prisoners, brought up here,
And forced to work during the Construction of the fortress,
And some of them died During the construction.
So he essentially worked A lot of the nobility to death. Yeah.
So we are here At the square tower,
The oldest tower Of the fortress,
Built before vlad the impaler
Actually built The rest of the compound.
In that famous siege, when vlad Was kept here with his army,
He had his wife with him,
And if she would have been Taken prisoner by the turks,
She would have ended up In a harem
And ended up As a slave there.
This would have been Too great a dishonor for her,
So she committed suicide.
She jumped into the river.
It is here if you want To look for her troubled soul.
So, guys, the real dracula Castle is yours for the night.
Hope you survive it And you will enjoy it.
I can't wait to see What you discover, actually.
We're gonna get set up, Get our equipment, do a Thorough investigation,
And we will see you In a couple days
And let you know What we found or didn't find. Can't wait.
Robb: Bogdan brought us in and said
That everyone always Comes up to him and says,
"Is this place haunted?"
well, ghi, I think, Has a big task ahead of them
To either prove or disprove
And finally give him An answer to that question.
Hey, gents. All right.
We're gonna be doing things A bit different this evening.
We're gonna do Triangulation--
Three teams All doing evp work.
Three points Of a triangle.
We're gonna do real-time Analysis after we're done
To see if we can really focus on Where the activity is.
Cool.
Let's grab equipment And get going.
You would never be able To use this technique
In a huge castle with, you know, 40 rooms and 3 different floors,
So, for once, we have A small enough location,
This kind of top-of-the-mountain Eagle's nest,
Where we can all work together
And use This different technique.
Barry and brandy, You guys almost ready to go?
Robb, I am in position.
I am hitting "Record."
Brandy: We're good to go.
All right, we are going to Set it off-- evp session.
Dustin and robb In the hallway.
Can you come close to us?
Is this tower A tower of joy or pain?
[ speaks romanian ]
Do you want us To be here?
Does anyone still Remain here?
Are you proud Of the atrocities
That you presented Onto the romanian nation?
How many of you Are here?
Was this tower ever lost To the turkish army?
Are you free to roam, or are you Trapped here in this castle?
What is Your family name?
Evp session, end.
You, myself, and barry Will do evidence review,
While andy and brandy Head out to the grounds. Cool.
Andy: all right.
brandy and I decided To head on out of the castle
And investigate the stairs Leading to it.
We'd like to talk to you, Whoever you may be.
Can you give us Your name?
[ clicks ]
Vlad, I understand That as a boy,
You were handed over To the turks by your father,
and he did this in order To maintain the throne.
You learned Some of your torture methods
While you were imprisoned By the turks.
I'd like to talk to the noblemen Who built this castle.
We want to hear The atrocities
That vlad tepes Committed against you.
Shh. Shh. Shh. Shh.
As we went out there, We started hearing
Some weird noises off Into the woods--
Kind of some rustling In the trees and whatnot.
Can you give us a sign That you're here?
Can you make a noise? Could you touch us?
Could you make yourself Visible?
I heard that.
Okay, You just heard that? Yeah.
It sounded like It was coming to our left.
Can you do a scan With the thermal
And see if you can pick up A heat sig?
Yeah, checking it out now.
Please, try to communicate With us in any way possible.
Did you hear that? Yes.
Yeah, I'm not really getting Any crazy heat signatures,
Aside from the trees And rocks.
So no animal life?
I'm not even Seeing a squirrel.
I mean, there's nothing. Nothing on here.
Let's head on back, And we'll go from there.
Sounds good.
Robb: after we finished The triangulation, we went back,
And we listened to our Recordings of those sessions
To see if we can triangulate and Find out where we have activity.
I listened to myself and dustin.
There was nothing.
Dustin listened to andy's-- Nothing.
Barry: ...Trapped here in this castle.
It sounds like we have got Some responses on the evp.
Dustin. Yo.
Did you hear What barry said?
I guess definitely has something On his recording.
okay, cool. Excellent. All right.
so at this point, I want to get
every piece of equipment We have out there,
see if we can really find out What's going on here.
starting evp session--
barry, brandy, and dustin.
we're at the top end Of the castle.
vlad the impaler...
[ speaks romanian ]
Dracula?
[ speaks romanian ]
Are you The lady of the house?
The wife of vlad tepes?
We really mean no harm.
We're simply trying To understand who you are,
Why you are here.
Dustin: did you take Your own life here?
Barry: is there a phantom army That haunts
The mountains surrounding This castle?
Before we finish this, is there Anything you wish to say?
Robb: all right, guys, It's about that time.
Let's wrap it up.
Ending evp session.
I think that it's time To get some rest.
Let's get packed up and get Ready for 1,400 steps down.
Okay.
Robb: Barry believes that he heard
Three to four Mysterious pieces of evidence.
But obviously, until we get back And can really go through it,
We're not gonna know What we found.
Barry: all right, brandy, Some of the evps
That we caught initially In the triangulation
Seem to indicate that There was activity happening
Up toward The back wall.
We heard something On the recordings.
So I certainly want To go back and try and Analyze those further,
Put them through The programs,
See if we can Draw them out any better,
See what those were.
Brandy, I have listened And I have re-listened
And I've gone back again To make sure.
And after I've cleared up Some of the sounds,
You can hear something Very interesting.
Yeah, I absolutely hear that.
Hey. Bogdan, How are you?
Fine, and you?
good to see you. Very well.
I see you survived The night.
we did, absolutely. But I barely survived that walk.
I know what you mean.
So, should we head in?
Yeah, let me Invite you inside.
Thank you.
We made sure that, This being dracula's castle,
That we modified our techniques To make sure
That we covered every inch Of the entire location.
I think we definitely Managed to do that.
Can't wait to see The results.
So this location Proved perfect
For a method we use Called triangulation.
We have three teams Form a triangle.
We had one team up here,
One team here,
And one team back here In this hallway.
We do a simultaneous Evp session--
people communicating Back and forth,
asking questions Of any kind of spirit
Or anyone Who we can't see here.
At that point, we're listening To the recorders in real time
And reviewing.
Now, that works out great for us Because if you think about it,
Now we can listen, and if, say, One of our investigators says,
"Well, I heard some sound In this area,"
Well, now we're going to focus
And really make sure that This area's thoroughly covered.
Barry's listening intently.
It's kind of tough, obviously, Given the wind up here.
But he hears three things.
Now, obviously, Given the conditions,
We can't say what it is yet.
We go home, barry and brandy Go through everything.
[barry speaks romanian]
They did find That the noises that he heard
During real-time analysis
Were actually sounds from The surrounding environment--
Animal noises, Rocks falling.
Okay.
So, at the end of the day, What we found out was
There was no paranormal activity At this location.
In a way, You know,
I'm glad that now I have Something really clear
To tell to the people who keep Asking if it's haunted or not.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Should we head For the hike back down?
Yeah, let's go Back down.
Safe travels. You too.
I'm somehow glad that there's No paranormal activity here.
I mean, it's a good piece Of information, which I can use,
Actually, in telling people,
"Okay, you might think It's haunted,
"But we had A professional team here.
They said there's No paranormal activity."
Andy, you know How many people can say
They investigated Dracula's castle?
I don't know The exact number,
but I can probably guess Not many.
Well, you can add five more To that list.
Man, that was fun. That was too cool.
It's about That time, man.
Eastern europe, western europe, New zealand, south africa.
I can't wait to get home. I'm excited.
That being said, I know for a fact,
By the time I get home,
Barry will have sent me An e-mail about new equipment.
Of course.
Brandy's going to be Sending me new locations,
And dustin's going to be Sending me
Really strange videos On the internet.
[ laughs ]
Let's go find the rest And head for the airport.
Sounds good.
Time to go home. Time to go home.
