rick: All right. Welcome to "paradelphia."

and we have quite the treat for you guys tonight.

Joining us in studio --

jason hawes, steve gonsalves, and dave tango.

So it's been quite a few years. What have you guys been doing?

Jason: Steve and I have created

united paranormal research organization.

Yeah. We're creating a network

all over the country that investigate under our protocols,

and when they sort of need, you know, the next step,

that they're getting in touch with us.

And when you guys have a set protocol like that,

it helps with validation

of any kind of evidence you come up with.

Yeah, absolutely.

Jason: Today we are just outside philadelphia

talking to local paranormal investigators

doug hogate and rick pruitt on their podcast,

cleverly called "paradelphia."

that gets me thinking about a very difficult case.

For the last 12, 13 years,

I've ran my own paranormal research team.

Jersey's unique minds paranormal society, also known as jumps,

and we have a case that has me at a speed bump.

I've investigated twice already,

but things seem to keep happening

to the family and intensifying.

And if you were interested in taking a look at it,

I could show you some of the things we found

and explain it to you.

Yeah, I'd definitely be interested in checking it out.

Jason: This is exactly why we created

the united paranormal research organization.

We wanted to help investigators with their difficult cases.

The client, mario -- he is actually a horror writer.

His creativity and the way he's always thinking things up

in his writing could have an effect

on the activity they are having.

The client's daughter's -- 10-year-old --

seems to be having the most experiences.

So what's happening with the daughter?

The main thing is this closet door

had forcefully ripped off of its changes.

I would think that the daughter being at that age --

if anybody was to manifest the activity,

it would be her manifesting it. Sure.

Poltergeists? Self-manifestation?

I mean, it's a common thing for young girls

as they're getting ready to enter into adulthood.

Jason: Poltergeist is a german word meaning noisy spirit.

It's often associated with an unseen force

that has the ability to throw objects around a room.

These manifestations were long thought

to be the work of demons.

♪♪

today we believe these evil spirits

to be caused by an individual

who is under extreme emotional distress.

Oftentimes the victim of these otherworldly forces

are adolescents.

And, also, she sees all around the house and property

an apparition of a little girl.

I have an evp, if you guys like to hear.

- Yeah, sure. - Why not?

All right.

Doug: Is there another person here

that also helps you?

A evp of someone saying, "it's me."

it's me.

I promise all my clients that I'm with them till the end.

So that is why my next step was call for help.

Jason: Well, and anytime the case involves a family,

especially with children,

it jumps to the priority list for us.

So let's just get over there and meet the family

and start trying to figure out what's happening.

They will be thrilled. I know they want answers.

jason: Cases that involve poltergeist activity are rare

and extremely dangerous.

If this family's experiencing both spirit

mario: Before we moved in here,

we were just a normal family.

Charmaine: My daughter, summer, was the first person

that experienced anything paranormal.

summer has told us multiple times

that she has a relationship with this little girl.

Charmaine: It's a little unnerving to think

that my daughter is speaking to someone

that's not physically here.

One day summer was in the bathroom,

and I heard her screaming my name.

So I went up there,

and summer had an entire new vision

of this little girl with black hair

and black tears crying in the shower.

It was more frightening.

Summer: I saw a black cloud in my bedroom.

and it really scared me.

The cloud would hover over top of me.

One night, I was sitting on my carpet.

I turned around, but no one was there.

so I started yelling, "mom! Mom!"

the closet door started to fall on me.

I had to run and grab it

before the entire thing fell on her.

Summer: I felt like someone was trying to harm me.

Later on, summer saw a man in the backyard

when she was playing near the tree.

Anytime she was out there playing,

she said she would see him.

charmaine: In the living room,

I have experienced shadow people go up and down the stairs.

One of the toys went off. Then another toy went off.

It happened again.

[ toys chiming beeping ]

that's when I ran out of the basement.

Charmaine: As soon as that incident happened, we had no choice

but to call somebody to finally figure out

what was really going on here

and to try and put an end to it all.

♪♪

how are your children being affected with this?

I had to physically move my daughter's room.

She won't sleep in there.

A female child of that age a lot of times

can manifest the activity themselves,

especially poltergeist-type activity.

They can actually create the things

that are going on in the house.

What's the most recent activity that you all have had?

Couple times when I've been here,

my son will point,

and he'll say "monster. The monster."

he was looking to the basement, and he's saying,

"it's down there. It's down there."

I do have video footage of that.

Mario: What do you see down there?

Where?

Oh, geez.

And then I'm getting freaked out 'cause, you know what I mean?

I'm in the house with my son seeing monsters,

and I don't see anything.

Where do you think the hottest spots

of paranormal activity are in the house?

My daughter's old room, which is now our office,

and the tree in the backyard.

When we first moved in the house,

my daughter was instantly drawn to

the backyard and to this tree.

Well, do you want to show us this tree?

Absolutely.

Tango: You guys mind if I set up command center?

- Yeah, set it up. - All right.

Yeah, so this is the tree right here.

Do you think we can talk with summer

about her connection to this tree?

- Yeah, absolutely. - Yeah, absolutely.

- Hey, sum, come here. - Okay.

- Over there swinging away. - Wow.

- Here she comes. - How are you, summer?

- I'm good. - I'm jason. This is steve.

- Hi, summer. - Hi.

So we were talking to your mom and dad about this tree.

Have you had any experiences,

or have you seen anything over here?

Summer: There was a guy right over there I could see

just kind of glide towards me.

And it really scared me.

What did he look like?

Like, really pale, light, and I could see him,

and then he just went away.

Jason: It's possible summer could be the catalyst

for the poltergeist activity in this house.

She doesn't appear to be anything

but a normal young girl.

But then again, that's often the case.

It's usually the inner conflict of youth

that can cause a poltergeist to manifest.

Well, I think we got everything we need.

- Yeah. Thank you so much. - Yeah. Thank you guys.

Jason: While charmaine and the two children leave their home,

we've asked mario to join us tonight for an experiment.

We're going to set up a camera in every room

where the cerritos have experienced paranormal activity.

In the living room, we'll focus the camera on the stairs,

one in summer's bedroom,

and one in the office.

We're also going to cover the backyard,

where the cerritos' daughter, summer,

has seen the apparition of a man near one of the trees.

Steve: All right, we got most of the equipment set up,

ready to go.

Well, with everything going on in the backyard and summer,

I can walk around with the full-spectrum camera

Jason: Homeowner mario cerrito

believes that writing his horror stories in the house

could be triggering the paranormal activity.

So to test his theory, we're sending doug and mario

to the most active room in the house --

summer's old bedroom, which is now mario's office.

This is where a door became mysteriously unhinged

and fell on her

and where she's seen the apparition of a little girl.

It's also where doug caught his evp.

Doug: This is one of your scripts

for one of your movies, correct?

Mario: Yes. So if you want to go ahead

it's day 2 of our investigation,

and last night didn't reveal any poltergeist activity

or the source of the little girl or the male spirit

that summer's been encountering.

We've looked a a local librarian

who is knowledgeable about the history of the cerrito property.

We're meeting with her to see if she can help steer us

to the source of summer's frightening occurrences.

- Hello. - How are you?

Thanks so much for taking the time.

Yeah, absolutely.

So you were able to find some stuff out for us?

Yes. I have some good things for you, I think.

This area here is kind of what we're looking at here.

I know it's mostly farmland.

The property that you were looking at

lots of different people have owned.

Are there any families that stood out to you?

Any children who died on the property?

One of the families that kind of caught our eye

was the wood family.

- Okay. - Okay.

And they had a death in the family.

A young child died --

gerrard woolston wood.

What exactly can you tell us about that?

We have his death certificate here.

He died of diphtheria at the age of 11.

It looks like he was sick for nine days.

It looks like he died in 1882. Exactly.

And any of the other children pass away there, too,

or is that the only one that we...?

That was the only one in the wood family

that died that we found.

So in that same area, also, the jones family lived there.

So this is jones corner.

The cerrito family home is probably right about here.

So it borders it. So they were neighbors?

Exactly. They purchased that property in 1911.

It was isaac murray jones and his wife, anna.

They moved there with three daughters.

Two of them actually died.

One baby girl, evelyth --

she only made it to two weeks old,

and then the other one was margaret.

And we had a death certificate for her, as well.

Margaret died of scarlet fever. She was 6 years six.

Six.

Well, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day.

- Absolutely. - This is a lot of help for us.

Yeah, sure.

Jason: Over a century ago, two children died

on or near the cerritos' property --

6- year-old margaret jones and 11-year-old gerrard wood,

whose family once owned a large piece of land

believed to have included the cerritos' property.

Both children are now paranormal suspects in our investigation.

It's possible margaret might be a migratory spirit

with black tears traveling to this house.

We also have to consider

that there might be a connection between gerrard wood's death

and the spirit of a man seen by the tree.

Steve: Since the house is so small,

I feel like real-time analysis call-and-response

could really happen in the central area of the house

of margaret jones or any of the wood family members.

So we're going to reassess the best way forward.

Steve: Now, what do you think about what we learned today?

Do you think that the woods family

the jones family are playing anything into this?

It didn't seem to really trigger anything.

The funny thing is, though, with farmland,

you got to remember, a lot of those families

would bury their family members on their land. Mm-hmm.

So it's always a possibility

that they could have buried somebody on this land.

Mm-hmm.

Well, everything going on in the backyard and summer,

I mean, we could always see about

possibly getting a cadaver dog down and at least seeing

if there are any unmarked graves back there.

- I think we need to. - Rule it out, you know?

At least we'd be one step closer

into figuring if that's even a possibility.

You know, all about checking off boxes, you know?

- It's a process of elimination. - Process of elimination.

- We can try again tomorrow. - Yeah.

Just because activity doesn't happen now

doesn't mean it won't happen tomorrow.

Absolutely.

Jason: Our next course of action

is to investigate the tree in the backyard

where summer saw the apparition of a male.

It's possible he could be the father of gerrard wood,

who died on the property.

To find the answers, we need to go beyond human perception.

deceased people and human remains. Sure.

Will they sit? Will they go back to it?

Will they circle? Sit, bark, alert.

It's different for different ones.

We should drive some rebar and perk the soil here

and then run the dogs through one at a time

So maybe we'll start perking the ground...

We've gotten barely any responses since being here.

But the cerrito family has encountered

far too much activity for us to simply discount

their paranormal experiences in the home.

We still might find something when we go through our evidence,

but in the meantime, we need to focus on another possibility.

Why don't you and I at least go in and try to

do a sweep of emf on this house?

I'd like to bring in a trifield meter. All right, do it.

So that way I can measure the triple axis.

All right. - You good?

Sure am.

I think we need to check summer's room.

♪♪

when we get over near her bed,

her head's right here.

Look. Look at this.

At her head level.

We're at a fricking almost a 60.

Geez.

That is an excessive amount.

This is what we've been talking about for years --

high emfs right there like that.

That would mean paranoia, fatigue, hallucinations,

skin irritation.

Absolutely. Blotchy vision, the whole thing.

And you go like this all night long. Oh, man.

If they don't fix that, she could have permanent effects.

Can you just imagine?

I mean, they're subject to this all day and night.

I want to check out her old room upstairs.

♪♪

wow!

10.0 in the middle of the room at head level.

♪♪

20.

20 is almost 10 times what we should be reading.

Wow.

Geez. That is just...

Mother of god.

This whole room is like this.

I think we need to check the emf in the son's room.

Steve: I've got high readings in all magnitudes

'cause this is taking three fields

and compressing it into one reading.

We're down near his head.

Whoo! Bad.

Holy crap.

It's coming off of this outlet.

They've got to do something about that.

That's very dangerous.

This poor kid -- that could really

frazzle his little brain.

Could the high energy and emf in the house

be working as a catalyst?

- Fueling the activity. - Fueling the activity.

Maybe there is some activity, and it's because

there's so much extra energy into the atmosphere.

This family is under attack.

Jason: These emfs have us really worried for the cerrito family.

The levels are as much as 100 times above normal.

High emfs can help fuel paranormal activity.

As we are unable to make contact with any entities,

we suspected that there was different reasons

for the off-the-chart readings.

This case had us scratching our heads,

but through the process of elimination,

we've reached our conclusion

as to what's behind the family's paranormal disturbances.

Steve: All right, well, thanks for meeting up with us.

We came in to really look after everything that you guys told us

was happening and everything that doug filled us in on.

Jason: The cerrito family believes that mario's horror writing

is responsible for triggering paranormal activity

in their home.

That mainly targets their daughter summer.

When I write, it's almost like

feeding off of my dark energy.

But the idea that a ghost would be aware of

mario's macabre writing just didn't add up for us.

Because of summer's age and the type

of paranormal occurrences she's been experiencing,

we feel there is a possibility she may have manifested

poltergeist activity in the home.

A child of that age a lot of times can manifest

the activity themselves.

They can actually create the things

that are going on in the house.

Jason: But during our investigation,

nothing materialized to support that theory.

- Look what just happened. - Yeah.

One toy fell on this one. This one went off.

This one went off, and this one went off.

I wonder if something like that happened to mario.

Three or four of them went off at once.

- Right. - You know, it scared him.

Jason: If you want me to leave this room,

you can do a loud bang.

How about that?

And also the closet door in summer's room --

I mean, doors like that can fall off.

I've had them fall off.

I'm not saying that's what happened,

but without being there or having a video of it... It's hard, yeah.

...Yeah, we can only speculate when it comes down to that.

Jason: When looking for the source of a little girl crying black tears,

that was tormenting summer, we discovered that a girl

named margaret jones died on the property

that once boarded the cerritos.

Margaret died of scarlet fever. She was 6 years.

Then we turned to the apparition of a man

this summer sees by a tree in the backyard.

They had a death in the family.

A young child died --

gerrard woolston wood.

It was common on farmlands over a century ago

for families to bury loved ones on their property.

We thought the man could have been gerrard woods' father

lingering where his son might have been buried.

So we took it to the extent

where we even brought in cadaver dogs.

Search!

There's no strong indications of any decomposition

or anything in the ground.

Jason: Finally, we found what we believe

is the cause for the poltergeist

and spirit disturbances in the cerritos' home.

One thing we did find during the investigation

which was really interesting to us

was there were high -- extremely high --

magnetic fields throughout the house.

- Shhh. - Wow!

10.0 in the middle of the room at head level.

20.

Geez. That is just...

Mother of god.

This family is under attack.

There is theory that they can help spirits manifest

and show themselves, give them the ability

to move objects and things of that nature.

But, also, there's the whole scientific side where

high emfs creates everything from nausea, fatigue,

hallucinations, skin irritation, paranoia,

and these things all come into play.

Jason: According to some scientists,

people who have had long-term exposure to high emfs

are at an increased risk

to develop life-threatening diseases

such as brain cancer, heart disease, and depression,

not to mention paranoia and hallucinations.

There's a safety factor, as well.

And we took it upon ourselves to bring in an electrician

try to figure out what was going on.

This is broken. See? It's busted in half.

It's really pretty bad safety issues,

so we're gonna change this out.

Jason: There was activity here

because doug did get the evp saying, "it's me."

the activity that's here -- if it was fueling off the emfs

and we remove the emfs,

that activity's gonna diminish,

if not come to a complete halt, because there's nothing for it

to fuel its ability to manifest itself.

Okay. So if in a month or two

you're still having experiences, we need to come back.

But bottom line -- we're here to help

in case you need us again, and hopefully

we've already helped you guys.

- Yeah. Absolutely. - Absolutely.

Thank you very much for your time, man.

- Thank you so much. - Thanks, man.

Thank you.

Jason: With the emfs now under control,

life should return to normal for the cerrito family.

Mario can continue to write his horror screenplay,

and summer can grow up without the worry

that an entity in the house means her harm.

We hope we've given summer and her family

the comfort and the peace they deserve.
