Code 6, 105 north avenue, 52.

When I started to approach the area,

There was a sense of fear that kind of hit me.

The blanket of negative energy

Is the only way I could describe it.

Can anybody hear me? Somebody call 911?

It was like I entered "the twilight zone."

And that's when I saw a shadow.

She's coming.

I have never seen a deceased body in that shape.

He was curled up like a cockroach.

hello?

Let's get a move on!

We got to get her to the hospital.

He's here.

- Hello. - Oh, my god. You're dead.

You need to get the **** out of my ambulance.

Oh, my god!

911-- please state your emergency.

I think it's a ghost!

Officer yates, we have an inmate in -- west wing d.

Copy that. I'll be right there.

Detention officer jay yates is sent

To pick up a dangerous female inmate

At a women's maximum security prison

And transport her to a local courthouse.

Prisoner is awaiting transport in d tower.

As a detention officer, I had many responsibilities.

One of those responsibilities were ensuring

That the inmate population appeared at court

In a timely fashion when they were scheduled to go.

As officer yates arrives,

He mentally prepares for the worst-case scenario.

This was a female facility, but that's not to say

That they were any less dangerous than males.

In my experience, dealing with the female population

In many ways, they were much worse,

More violent and specifically in this particular unit.

The officer pushes deeper

Into the famous d tower's housing unit.

It's almost like a forgotten tower.

Officers that had been assigned to that particular area

Would complain about faulty wiring, bad plumbing,

Just a housing unit in disarray.

Yates joins an on-duty security officer

In d tower's control room to fill out the paperwork

Needed to transport his prisoner.

Good seeing you.

So the officers stay in this tower for their safety,

Which isolates them from the inmate population

Because these are untrustworthy individuals.

These are people that not only broke laws on the street.

They came to our jail, and they did the same thing.

Just you tonight?

Mm-hmm.

In the housing unit, there's multiple cameras,

And they have multiple points of view throughout all the units.

And it's really to make sure that we're monitoring

The inmate population that, if anyone's popping locks

Or breaking out of their cell, we can see it.

As the officer was looking at the list

And going over who exactly I was to pick up,

I happened to look over at the monitor.

And that's when I saw a shadow.

What's that?

I don't see anything.

He notices someone standing just outside his prisoner's cell.

I can't leave my post.

I'll do it for you.

I said, "don't worry about it.

I'm going to go down there and take care of it."

There was somebody that was in there

That wasn't supposed to be there.

If that inmate is harmed in any kind of way,

That responsibility falls back on me.

While the other guard keeps monitoring the cameras,

Officer yates makes his way to his prisoner's cell

To investigate.

I immediately went into that particular unit

Where I had seen the shadow.

We call them housing units, but don't get this confused.

This particular unit, it's more like a dungeon.

When I start to approach the area,

There's a sense of fear that kid of hit me.

There was like a blanket of just negative energy

Is all I could describe that kind of hit me in waves.

My emotions kind of were just going crazy.

Yates reaches his prisoner's cell

Outside of which he saw the mysterious shadow figure.

I saw the inmate, and she was just sitting there,

Like, crying.

And it kind of threw me off guard.

Help. Help.

It's definitely unusual to see them show

Any sign of weakness, especially tears.

These were tough -- these were tough criminals.

These were women that made, you know,

Some of the men in the supermax levels look like child's play.

What's wrong? What's going on?

Officer yates fears this may be an elaborate trick,

Part of her ruse to break out.

And it was weird because moments before, there was no noise.

But the moment that I came in, all of a sudden,

Now she's crying.

All of a sudden, I'm feeling this sense of, like, dread

And just depression out of nowhere that just hit me.

I couldn't explain it.

No. No, no.

What's wrong? No.

She said, "he wants me to come with him.

He wants me to come with him."

I'm not going. Leave me alone!

She's, like, "him, him!"

And I'm, like, what do you mean him?

Like, there is no him here.

Like, you mean, like, an officer that came in here earlier?

No.

No.

And she's, like, "no!

He's standing right behind you."

But there's nothing there, leading the officer to wonder

If the woman is mentally unwell.

Ahh!

But that thought is quickly shattered.

she's coming with me.

This literally scared the **** outta me.

Sent to transport a female prisoner to a court hearing...

What's that? ...Detention officer jay yates notices

Something outside her cell which,

On further investigation,

Brings him face-to-face with a terrifying, shadowy figure.

she's coming with me.

Not only is the figure not an officer or inmate,

To yates, it appears and disappears

Like a bad tv reception.

As an officer, you're trained to act

Strong in stressful situations.

But inside, everything's telling me to get the hell out of there.

It scared the absolute hell out of me.

Prisons are known to be infamous

For all kinds of paranormal activity.

It's a place where you have one of

The most negative collections of emotion

And a consolidated group of some of the world's

Most notorious and evil people.

And this can draw an awful lot of negative entities

And energy towards it.

He's here.

But whatever he saw or thinks he saw,

It's no longer there.

I had -- I had eyes on the shadow.

This thing couldn't have gone anywhere.

There would only have been a brief second

That this thing would have had a chance to hide.

Hearing footsteps nearby,

He gives chase into an adjacent corridor.

The corridor fills with a dark, all-consuming energy.

The shadow wasn't visible anymore,

But the presence of something was.

What's wrong?

She kept screaming, "he wants me to come with him.

He wants me to come with him.

He wants me to come with him."

I won't do it.

You can't make me.

And she says, "my brother, he wants me to come with him."

The woman explains the figure yates saw was her brother,

Her dead brother.

She then tells me that he committed suicide

Prior to that day.

She said that her brother was asking her to join him in death.

I'm scared.

She's coming with me.

I want her.

She's coming with me.

It terrified me.

I can't even begin to explain how terrified I was

At that particular moment.

I want her.

There was some negative energy at work

That was trying to take her.

She's coming with me.

Leave me alone! Get away!

- She's coming with me. - Please!

This thing was attempting to possess her,

And then maybe for her to actually hurt herself.

She's coming with me!

I realize that what she meant by him wanting to join her

Was that he wanted her to take her own life.

No. Put your hands through the cell.

I'm going to get you outta here.

I won't do it.

You can't make me. Leave me alone.

She's coming with me.

Get away. You're in danger.

We're in danger.

When I opened the actual cell door itself,

This thing disappears.

Come on.

Had I not come to that door, I think, when I did,

I think this would have been a whole different conversation.

Yates rushes his patient out of harm's way.

Thank you for doing this.

And the tragedy that could have been.

She says, "thank you, officer yates.

I appreciate this."

And how did you interpret that thank you?

I think she really was thanking me

That I got her out of harm's way.

I think she feared for her own safety.

I felt more relieved the further we got away from that

Area to the door from whatever this was.

But I had a duty as an officer to contact medical

For a psychological evaluation to make sure she was okay

Because she was obviously distressed.

When I walked her to medical, you know, they evaluated her,

And she got a clear bill of mental health.

She didn't want to return to that unit,

And they were okay with it.

They actually -- she was moved to a different location.

Spirits sometimes can manipulate the thoughts of humans.

Energy of her brother had worked its way into her.

Her thoughts were being manipulated to hurt herself.

This jail that was darker than just a jail.

That there was some type of something going on there.

That place was haunted.

I expect anyone watching this

To question the validity of the story.

I would with anybody that would come on and tell a story.

And I would definitely not believe it.

And I honestly wouldn't believe it

Had it not happened to me.

It's another busy night

For new york paramedic malcolm dean and his partner.

I'd always been in the medical end of things,

And I liked helping people.

I also liked the adrenaline of the job.

I was working in a high crime area.

On any given night, you would do a lot of gunshots,

A lot of stabbings, a lot of assaults.

Late into their graveyard shift,

Dean and his partner respond to a mysterious 911 call

Placed from a residential building.

It was something odd about the call.

The dispatcher called us on the radio

And said that a job had just popped up on her screen,

And she didn't know where it came from.

She doesn't have any other information on the call.

While dispatch tries to pinpoint the specific unit

Where the call came from,

The paramedics stand by outside the building,

Waiting for further instruction.

We were parked on the street corner.

This was a high crime area.

A lot of the apartments were vacated, so it had an eerie,

Almost a ghost-like appearance to it.

A gentleman came up to the passenger side of the ambulance.

I'll show you where to go inside.

Follow me.

He said that we needed to go inside,

That there was somebody that we needed to take out.

We weren't exactly sure why.

Unit 249 to 32nd and 55th.

Unit 249.

We've arrived at the location.

Dispatch 173, go ahead.

Shall we go?

This way.

It was unusual.

We did call the dispatcher on the radio,

But she still didn't have any other information on the call.

We have no idea what type of call we're going into.

We're following somebody that we're not

Exactly sure who that person is.

And we're going into a building that was,

For the most part, abandoned.

We had a certain sense of apprehension.

All the veteran paramedics know

Is that somewhere inside the derelict building,

Someone placed an emergency call,

And their life may be in danger.

We were fairly experienced in walking into situations

That were sometimes dangerous,

So we had a level of caution walking into the building.

We had all of these cues that something was not right.

Neither one of us could figure out what it was.

Please, follow me.

We were hesitant to go in

Because we had no idea what we were walking into.

Once we got to the apartment, we attempted to reach dispatch.

This is dean. We're 10-6 here.

Hello?

For some reason, we couldn't get through on our radios.

The dispatcher wanted to know what apartment we were in

So the dispatcher would notify the police

To ensure our safety and make sure that,

If anything went wrong, we had backup.

They quickly notice they're not alone.

There was a woman sitting in a chair

In the middle of the living room.

It was extremely odd that she was sitting just in the chair.

She wasn't talking, wasn't at that point looking at us.

Assuming she placed the call, malcolm and his partner

Move in quickly to assess her condition.

The gentleman said nothing.

He just led us to her and said that she needed to leave.

There was nothing outwardly wrong with her other

Than she wasn't speaking to us.

I was asking her, going through our normal questioning,

What's wrong?

Is anything bothering you?

Weren't exactly sure what was going on with her.

And the gentleman gave us no information.

For our paramedics, we look for medications.

We look for walkers.

We look for things that'll give us some idea of what's going on.

She needs to leave. You need to take her out now.

While the man insists they take the woman away,

The paramedics still have no medical reason to do so.

With the amount of experience that we had,

We felt that, between the two of us,

We would have known what was going on,

And we had no sense of what was going on in the apartment.

All of a sudden, I heard music.

I could smell cigarette smoke, could smell cigars.

I saw a bar with people that were dressed in more '20s

Or '30s type clothing.

I felt like I was transported to the 20s or 30s,

And that I was in the middle of a speakeasy.

Everything that was in that scene was gone.

The man with the cane, he knew what was going on.

She needs to leave. You need to take her out now.

He put his hand on my shoulder and said that,

"you need to take her out."

It was like I entered "the twilight zone."

There was one lady, very pretty, very young.

She started walking towards me.

I realized that it was the same woman.

The same woman that was in the chair.

I got the sense that the woman was trapped there.

Responding to a bizarre 911 call, paramedic malcolm dean

And his partner are led into a derelict building

By a mysterious man with a cane.

Where they discover a woman

Suffering from an unexplained condition.

All of a sudden, I heard music.

And they are thrust into a 1920s speakeasy.

When you see something like that,

It just scares the hell out of you,

And then all of a sudden, it disappeared.

I don't know what was going on, but it didn't make sense.

The man with the cane was just standing in the corner.

I had the sense that he had orchestrated what was happening.

She needs to leave. You need to take her out now.

Drawn into the surreal experience,

Malcolm can't deny the uncanny resemblance

Between the young woman from the past and his patient.

And then I realized that it was the same woman.

The first thing that came to mind

Was that this might be some type of time warp

Where these paramedics were pulled into this time

And were able to interact with the spirits that were there.

I feel like when she looked at me,

That she was letting me know

That I had to take the elderly woman out to make her okay.

When people get into these time warps,

Their brain has different waves, different brain waves,

And that alters the perception of time.

She needs to leave.

As the disturbing manifestations intensify...

You need to take her out now.

...The woman's condition worsens.

I think that she was stuck, and that she needed somebody

To spiritually release her from the apartment.

A time warp or a time loop that someone gets pulled into

Is a state of confusion, almost, where someone is just seeing

Or experiencing an event that happened in time.

It's just a visualization or an auditory sound

That just keeps playing over and over.

We took her out of the building,

Brought her out to the ambulance.

The gentleman with the cane told us

What hospital he wanted her to go to

And said he would meet us down there.

It was about 2:00 in the morning,

So there was no one on the streets.

So we were going through red lights.

Let's get a move on!

Back in the ambulance, the mystery behind

The bizarre sequence of events

Only deepens with a call from dispatch.

The dispatcher was calling us on the radio,

And she said she'd been trying to call us for an hour.

And we didn't realize we were even in there for an hour.

It's part of the whole weird night.

The paramedics had entered that time loop

Where you have conscious spirits interacting with the living.

The living generally have a lapse of time

In the physical world.

As they speed to the hospital,

The woman's blood pressure starts to drop.

We got to get her to the hospital!

When people get into these time warps,

They are continually

Going through a tremendous amount of suffering.

Malcolm and his partner rush the woman into urgent care

For a full assessment.

I told the nurse that was doing triage

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with her,

But maybe you guys can figure it out.

Only to come face-to-face with another baffling mystery.

The man with the cane actually beat us to the hospital.

It was so shocking to us.

There was no way that this gentleman

Could have beat us there,

Even if he had taken a cab, even if he had a car,

There was no way that he could have beat us to the hospital.

That completely freaked me out.

He was very calm and collected

And shook both our hands, said thank you.

All my clinical tests had come out normal.

Taking her back to the hospital could have connected her

With that part of her experience

That she needed in order to move forward.

And this would emotionally or psychologically release her

From the location that she was trapped in.

She actually put her hand on mine and said, "thank you."

And it was just weird.

That was the only thing she said during the entire time

That we were with her.

I was going back out to get the paperwork.

Malcolm looks for the man,

Wanting to inform him of the woman's improved condition.

When I went back in, he wasn't there.

I asked my partner. He didn't come out.

So we have no idea where he'd went.

I never quite understood what his part of it was,

But I had a tremendous sense that he --

He knew exactly what was going on.

I believed the man that initially approached

The paramedics was either an angel or a spirit guide.

Quite often when they come to somebody,

They will appear in a very extravagant way.

And a way that someone will notice them

And that will get their attention.

And that indicates that this is something

That is probably orchestrated from the other side

To pull help to this woman to try to get her out of there.

She was spiritually trapped in that --

For whatever reason in that time frame.

Hello!

Hello! Are you all right?

hello!

Car 16, patient is unresponsive.

Possible cardiac arrest.

Proceed at once to 1162 east lake road.

Copy that. We're on our way.

Racing to the 911 call is emt trisha quinn and her partner.

The call was a possible cardiac arrest.

A cardiac arrest is considered

Where there is no response from the patient.

I love being an emt because we can help people

That need the help.

We can try and make a difference in somebody's life

When it's one of their worst days of their life.

While trisha and her partner let the caller know they've arrived,

The 911 operator back at the base

Tries to gather more data on the victim.

Hello! Paramedics.

They do a reverse 911 call to that home address

Because we're hoping that maybe they're able to get to the phone

And tell us if they're injured or if they're hurt.

Hello! Paramedics?

We banged on the door, but there was no response.

So we needed to gain entry to the house.

Somebody called 911.

With no trace of wind, the door slams shut.

Hello!

I finally saw the gentleman on the ground.

Most strange is the position of his body.

He was curled up like a cockroach.

In almost 20 years of experience,

I have never seen a deceased body in that shape.

The gentleman had a condition called rigor mortis,

Which means his limbs or his extremities were stiff.

Their odd shape suggests he had recently been sitting.

Like, the rigor set in while he was sitting in the chair.

But how he wound up on the floor

Suggests someone might have placed him there.

So, you think someone moved the body?

Do you think someone's in the house?

We were told by dispatch

That there was nobody else in that house.

Unit 7, victim is deceased.

Dispatch coroner to address on file.

Copy that, unit 7.

So once we've determined that the party is deceased,

And there is no help that we can give,

We then call the coroner.

While her partner goes outside to wait for the coroner

And ready their vehicle for transport,

Trisha stays with the body.

It was extremely strange,

But I felt almost obliged to stay in there with him

Just for a little bit longer.

I'm sorry.

Why did you say "I'm sorry"?

I said I was sorry because I felt bad

That we couldn't be there to help him when he was dying,

And that he died alone.

It was somewhat sad that he had obviously passed away

With nobody there.

I was looking at a picture down the hallway off the living room.

Hello.

I heard a gentleman's voice go, "hello."

Like somebody was there

That we were disturbing them in their house.

Trisha follows the sound into the main room

But finds only the dead man's body.

If someone is in the house, why would they be hiding?

There was a kitchen, and it wasn't in shambles.

It was actually very neat and tidy.

Hello?

Hello?

Trisha knows this can't be her partner's voice.

He's still outside, and the coroner has yet to arrive.

There was a bathroom to the left.

There was nobody in there.

There was no chance that that voice came from outside.

That voice had clearly come from the hallway.

And I walked a little bit farther down the hallway.

Thinking, "oh, there's got to be somebody in there

That we missed."

Hello.

And again, it was a voice of an elderly gentleman,

But there was nobody in there.

At that point, I was extremely freaked out

That I was in a house...

Hello?

...With a dead body...

Can anybody hear me?

...And a voice saying hello when there was nobody else

In there when I was completely alone.

With no clear answer for what's going on,

She decides to stay with the body.

Impossibly, something under the sheet begins to stir.

When I saw that face, it freaked the **** outta me.

Emt trisha quinn and her partner

Respond to a possible cardiac arrest

In a residential neighborhood.

Paramedics.

Only to find a deceased man in an impossible position.

He looks like he's sitting.

Hello.

Alone in the house...

Hello!

...Trisha suspects someone is playing tricks on her.

Until she discovers it's the dead man lying on the floor.

When I saw that face, it freaked the **** outta me.

At that point, we turned the scene over to the coroner,

And we left.

Not able to make sense of the strange voices inside the house,

Trisha keeps the unexplained experience to herself.

At that point, I didn't tell my partner anything.

And the emts move on to their next call.

Unit 22, 10-98. Available for assignment.

Copy that.

We were driving around in our ambulance.

And the lights decided to come on in the back.

They're controlled by switches,

And they were just going on and going off.

We couldn't explain what was going on.

We thought that somehow maybe a short was flipping the switches.

We found the light switches had actually been flipped on.

When neither of us had been back there.

And it was really weird.

Spirits of comprised of energy,

So it's easy for them to manipulate electrical devices.

I believe these are sometimes warnings

That perhaps you're treading on very dangerous ground.

Oh, my god.

Suddenly, in the rear view mirror,

There was an old man's face.

I about wrecked the ambulance because I thought

Somebody had climbed into the back of our ambulance

And was hiding back there.

There's somebody back there.

At that point, we were both very nervous because I thought,

Is this the person that is messing with our ambulance?

Trisha discovers the back of the ambulance is empty,

But someone has clearly left their mark.

We realized that the switches had actually been flipped.

But who would want to endanger the paramedics?

We stood out of the outside of the ambulance,

And that's when I told him about the hello that I'd heard.

Hello.

Again, I heard "hello," so at that point, it shocked me.

Hello.

Trisha can't make sense of what she sees.

Hello.

It was that old man in the back of the ambulance.

She knew she left the dead man's body

With the coroner back at the victim's house.

We both know that there was nobody

That we left in the back of the ambulance.

Hello.

Hello. Hello.

I believe that this was a classic example

Of an attachment.

After the moment of death,

You're just kind of in between worlds.

All you know is, you're not in your physical body anymore,

And that's very confusing. That's very jarring.

That's very scary.

So we look for anyone we could latch onto that

We might see as a stabilizing, grounding force.

When I was leaving, I told him I was sorry,

And my partner asked,

"why would you say you were sorry?"

And I said I felt bad that we couldn't be there for him.

I still felt bad for the old man.

He's following us around, but we can't have a ghost

That freaks us out,

Turning my lights on in the back of the ambulance.

So at that point, we decided he needed to go ahead and go.

You need to leave! You need to go now!

I'm sorry we couldn't save you.

I basically yelled at the old man,

"you're dead.

I'm sorry we couldn't save you.

Your house'll be okay,

But you need to get the **** outta my ambulance."

It would seem like he just needed the affirmation

That he was dead.

A lot of times, it doesn't occur to us

To just verbalize our intention

That we can actually just tell a ghost,

Ask a ghost to leave, that it's time to move on.

I'm sorry.

In the state of death, there's not just a shock

That we experience, but there's also a fear

Where we might resist the pull of the light

And still make a last-ditch attempt

To cling to our physical dimension.

And a first responder is a person that's come

To give their assistance would be the first person

You would imprint yourself on, attach yourself to.

He was just sad.

I don't think he meant to scare us.

After that, we never saw the face in the mirror,

And we never had any problems with our lights again.

There is stuff that we don't understand.

If I have one piece of advice,

Careful how you talk to the dead.
