All language subtitles for Paranormal Survivor - S02E06 - Child Victims

There was just nothing to
explain it, nothing. It was

just very, very scary. You are
about to see real people. This

is not normal. Reliving
horrifying paranormal

encounters for the first time.
This place was really, really

haunted and I don't think I've
ever seen my dad so scary. When

evil spirits target children,
it was definitely the scariest

night of my life. I buried this
for nearly 30 years. Be

prepared to be afraid.

I was 13. I was having some
troubles in school, some family

issues, and my parents decided
that I should probably move to

another place to maybe get a
fresh start and that way I can

work harder at school and pay
more attention to things that

were important to my future.

Mark moved in with his aunt and
her baby daughter, Megan. It

was a move that would change
his life forever. It's

encompassed my whole life for a
very long time almost 23 years

in some way shape or form and
it's shown me that there are

things out there that me or you
or anybody cannot account for

these things are real From the
very beginning of his stay,

Mark got a bad feeling about
the house. It was a ranch-style

home. Um it was dated back to
the late 18 hundreds. It used

to have a basement. One of the
walls that actually been

boarded up to what I believe
was a root cellar.

So, just my first impression
moving into the home was that

this is very old and this place
is kind of weird the way it's

situated on this tree. 200 feet
from the house next to it which

was a very large old home
Victorian style

Mark's uneasiness increased
further when strange things

started to happen. It almost
felt like the house had a mind

of its own and I had noticed a
few things like that toilet

would flush in the middle of
the night.

And nobody would be up. Lights
would come on by themselves

sometimes. Heavy wooden doors
would open and close on their

own. Um at night a few times
I'd heard my door rattle, my

doorknob rattle.

But the house itself definitely
had its own personality. Young

children adolescents are very
vulnerable to spirits because

they're closer to the spirit
world. They're not taught yet

to dissociate and discern
everything that comes to them.

They take everything as it is
and they see that and because

of that innocence it's a lot
easier for them to connect with

that. Kids have a lot of energy
in general. But as some of the

kids that have so much energy
they don't know what to do with

it. That energy sometimes spews
out anchor create what we call

the poltergeist anomaly. Mark
was soon going to learn all

about the destructive power of
poltergeist energy.

It was a Saturday evening.
What's going on for a little

bit? Which was not unusual.
Well, you be good tonight,

okay? And I was left to babysit
Meg and again, the not an

unusual thing was completely
comfortable with it.

I've been in the house alone
plenty of times at night and

and during the day and never
felt like, well, I never felt

like I did that evening being
watched like someone else was

in the house. Yeah.

Meg was about 18 months so just
under 2 years.

Um she really hadn't gotten her
legs underneath her yet.

But this evening, I had heard a
knock on our back door. In

sports, the international
basketball game. On the

schedule.

I just happened to know this
particular officer that was

working that night, a friend of
the family and he said that

they had gotten a report or
phone call through dispatch

that we were having a party in
the house. Now, again, I'm the

only one there with Meg who was
sound asleep in her crib and he

came in. He took a look around
because I knew that the officer

he said he had came from next
door. The Victorian next to us

and I'd never seen anyone come
in or out of that house. We

just always assumed that it was
purchased, bought, and

abandoned. I remember coming
home every day from school and

there were newspapers on the
front porch that were always

being delivered and the mailbox
was overflowing with mail. And

there's no way there could have
been a phone call come from

inside that house. There's just
no way.

And he said, well, I kind of
don't have an explanation for

it. You know, just don't have
anybody over here. You know,

you're too young to be home
alone with people in the house

besides you and Meg. After the
officer left, Meg started to

cry. So obviously I went inside
the room. I figured she just

dropped her bottle.

Hey. I looked everywhere for
this thing.

I went back into the kitchen
and made her a bottle and when

I came back in the room, there
was the bottle that I had been

looking for sitting right in
front of her crib on the floor

where I would have been
standing.

So, that kind of rattle me a
little bit because now I

thought there's someone in this
house.

So now I was a bit scared. So I
gave her the bottle.

Fearing he was not home alone,
Mark decided to grab some

protection.

And reach behind the couch
where we kept the bat.

It was kind of our last
defense, our home security so

to speak.

And I walked from one corner of
the house to the to the other.

Thirteen year old Mark Foster
was home alone babysitting his

infant cousin when he started
to experience strange goings on

in his house.

So when the knock came to the
door, I hit the ceiling.

They had received another
report that we had a party

going on in my house.

Checked everything out again,
made sure that I wasn't lying,

and that's when I told him
everything that was going on in

the house. And you're the only
one in here.

Honestly, he looked at me like,
I know he's not lying to me.

And he put his arm around my
shoulder and said, you know

what, you just hold tight. He
decided to go and find my aunt

to let her know that she needed
to come home. As soon as Mark

was alone, the strange activity
plaguing his cousins started

again. But now it was getting
stronger. When I peeked in on

her, she was a cry but she was
standing straight up in her

bed.

Like someone was holding her.
Up underneath the arms because

at that point, she couldn't
stand without holding on to

something.

And then I thought I heard
something behind me and I

turned to look.

And maybe a second later turned
back around and she was sound

asleep back laying down in her
bed Then the strange activity

began to increase. The tea
kettle went off. Full blast.

When I walked into the kitchen,
every single electric burner on

our stove was on, the cabinets
were open,

The tea cups that she never
used by China on their plates

as if someone was coming for
tea.

Quite frankly, almost my pants.
Because I knew I needed to go

into that room. I didn't have a
choice I had to turn the

burners off. I'm sorry to be so
blunt but I almost devoted on

myself. That's how crazy it
was.

I made my way in there and
threw the tea kettle into the

sink.

Instinctively, Mark rushed back
to protect his cousin but

whatever was in Mark's house
had other ideas. Went to step

through the doorway and I was
physically picked up and thrown

backwards through the door.

Home alone babysitting 13 year
old Mark Foster was being

tormented by paranormal
activity. But then it escalated

into a violent physical attack.
And I was physically picked up.

And thrown backwards through
the door.

And I still have the scar to
prove it. Eight, eight to 12

stitches I had to have

Spirits and ghosts are two
different things. Right?

Spirits are some of the
crossover comeback. Ghosts are

someone that are here are
stuck. Poltergeist anomaly are

built of energy. Built of
energy of fear. Fear based. And

now that fear basic grows from
that. Grows from energy from

children. And from that it can
be actually manipulated into

actually be a physical form.
And actually act out to harm

somebody. It's the fear that
really creates the the anomaly

that poltergeist that's there.
Stunned and bleeding, Mark was

afraid that his cousin had been
attacked too.

I knew I was dealing with
something evil. The only way to

describe it. I was damn well
determined to get in that room.

That was my only thought. I
need to get in and protect the

baby. That's it. Nothing was
going to keep me out of that

room. I just put my shoulder
down and I ran as hard as I

could.

I grabbed her out of her crib.
Walked back to the doorway into

the living room and sat down on
the couch and just waited and I

was still bleeding.

My aunt came home and saw the
condition I was in and you

know, instantly panicked. I was
like, what is going on?

You

and I told her everything that
happened, definitely I could

tell she was 100% believe in
me.

Well, it's sort of like
whatever it was that I told you

I got you. That's the way I
felt afterwards. I got you.

Now, you know. Now, you know
that I'm here and we got you.

A spirit or a ghost may want to
try to kill someone just

because they still either hold
a grudge towards that person

that they knew in life or
because they're just a very

violent, negative, possibly
even demonic type spirit.

Still terrified by his
experience that night, Mark

moved out of his aunt's house
shortly after.

I became very introverted after
I came back to Chicago. Mostly

because I had lost a connection
with not just my family but I

think a little bit of myself.
Um I was still kind of dealing

with the results of my attack.
So I didn't really talk to

anybody.

The reason through my
experience why people are so

hesitant to talk about
paranormal experiences or

encounters is fear. That's it.
Fear. Their fear of being

ridiculed by people or fear of
somebody not believing them or

fear of not knowing what to do.
We're losing our connection

with trying to communicate with
who's really there and we're

getting caught up in all this
fear based and losing the sense

of communicating and
understanding what we're all

about here in the physical and
the spirit. Years later, Mark

would get a clue about the
reason behind the attacks. I'm

100% convinced that my
encounter was a direct result

of what they found in on that
property.

They dug up the foundation of
the old house.

They uncovered a tunnel that
led from the Victorian next

door to the house that we lived
in and when they knocked down

some of the brick, they found
the human skeletal remains of

what appeared to be a family.

But I believe personally that
it was the angry spirit of if

not that whole family at least
the father figure that they

uncovered that was trying to
tell me This is my house. This

is my family. I don't want you
here. You're going to get out

one way or the other.

I wouldn't want anything that
ever happened to me to happen

to anyone, even my worst enemy.
Not in a million years.

It was definitely the scariest
night of my life.

Being tormented by spirits for
one night is bad enough but for

some children, the terror goes
on and on.

Michaela.

Don MacDonald and his children
Michaela and Cameron moved into

a farmhouse with a disturbing
past. But the cheap rent proved

too good a deal to turn down.

We knew the stories of the farm
that a young girl about

seventeen had been murdered
there and left in the barn to

rot for two years before her
body was found.

What started the search was
after the owner of the time had

gotten in a fight with his
roommate or a tenant and Well,

the one guy end up dying and
then the police were called.

I think there is more to the
murders than what they said.

There's the possibility of
bodies still existing on the

property what we are told.

When 16 year old Michaela
arrived, she felt a darkness

coming from the barn.

The landlord had told us that
the previous owners had moved

out really quick, didn't even
give a notification that they

were leaving and left
everything there. Left real

quick without him even knowing
so he's wasn't sure what

happened.

Everything in the house was
left from the food on the

tables to all the furniture,
clothes, and such.

Creepy. Very creepy. Kinda like
a chill going up your spine

kind of thing. Like you're
being watched.

My daughter Michaela didn't
like it. She didn't like the

feeling of the place. It was
just, she knew we couldn't

really afford too much so

Children can tend to attract
paranormal activity because

they are more open to spirit
and it's easy for spirit to

interact with them. A spirit
may sometimes target a child

because that child is much more
easier to terrorize or scare

out of a display of power and
that child is unable to defend

themselves.

The family settled into their
new home as best they could.

The oppressive atmosphere
bothered them but nothing

untoward happened at first. I
believe it was a few months

after we were there. You'd hear
these really loud bangs. Police

have a suspect in custody but.

Shortly after 16-year-old
Michaela McDonald Smith and her

family moved into a farmhouse
with a murderous past. She

started hearing strange noises
in the night. Suffered serious

injuries. I believe it was a
few months after we were there.

You'd hear these really loud
bangs. Police have a suspect in

custody but.

There was times where you could
just tell it was footsteps

running on the stairs back and
forth. Footsteps like sound of

someone with work boots on
walking up the stairs and to

the hallway.

And we would run up there you
know like is there an intruder

or is my little brother out bed
perhaps

but it was, there was never
anyone there. Some of the early

signs of haunting can be things
like lights flickering, doors

opening or closing, different
things like that could happen

because that's what a spirit
has the energy to be able to

do.

There was a point where there
was doors and windows shutting

by themselves.

We always have problems with
the lights always turning on

and off. Turned on the light
and the light just turned off

on you and it's like, okay.

At a location where there's
been a violent death

particularly a murder, there is
a much greater chance that a

haunting will result because
when a spirit passes in that

traumatic way, there's usually
a lot of anger there and that

pent up anger will result in
them being locked to that

location.

Sometimes because I work late
at night. The doors would start

slamming and you didn't know
which doors were there because

either the doors were closed or
it was a sound of a like a wood

stove door closing really hard.

A pretty weird

Everyone was in bed and I had
just gone to bed. It was about

1: 30 in the morning and I just
had that feeling to look over

in the corner of my room.

And there stood this man and he
had like a he was black of the

night. He had a top hat on and
it seemed to be like a trench

coat type. So back like in the
olden days they used to wear

their long coats.

And to this day, we call him
the man in black.

It stood there for a few
minutes and I was too scared to

move and then it just took off
outside of my door. Really

scared me and had me starting
to believe that this place was

really really haunted.

Hauntings can start out with
something as innocent as

footsteps and they can progress
very rapidly into much more

threatening activity. Perhaps
it's because the spirit is

feeling you out. What level of
fear are you going to have?

What reaction are you going to
have? And the more they can

intimidate you, the more they
will escalate their activity.

Michaela was frightened by the
activity in the house but it

was the nearby barn where a
young woman's murdered body had

once been found that really
filled her with dread. From the

vine, you would feel a lot of
staring. Um it would make you

feel uncomfortable. You were
always constantly being

watched.

Whenever you were near windows,
especially in the kitchen which

was a great view to the barn,
you would see fragments of

shadows.

I

Since moving into their new
farmhouse, Michaela MacDonald

Smith and her family had been
experiencing paranormal

activity. Then one night while
standing in her kitchen,

Michaela had the strange
feeling she was being washed

from the barn.

You'd see like this it seemed
to be like a shadow man and he

would walk across one of the
beams in the barn and you just

walk back repeatedly.

The one that was in the barn
was always negative. He seemed

always angry.

Help would come from an
unlikely source.

When he was threatened her, the
spirit she called the man in

black would show up and step in
front of her and kind of

protect her from him. Yeah, he
scared me but at the same time,

I felt safe from the other
spirits from him. So, it was

almost like the property had
its own like black angel.

But the man in black couldn't
protect Michaela and Don from

what was yet to come.

When I turned 17, my dad had
thrown a birthday party for me

and I had brought a bunch of my
friends from my new school. We

had the fire, roasted some
marshmallows, and we're all

hanging outside and everyone
had started to have a bad

headache.

My dad start to get a really
bad violent look in his eye.

His head was just driving a
nuts.

And then like all you heard was
the screaming outside and we

thought someone was in the
forest. No one knew what to do.

We didn't know if it was a real
person.

So my dad went out to the
forest and this was the first

time anyone's gone to the
forest that night.

We got close to the forest and
we never went in it but we were

walking by it but we got this
strange feeling like like we've

never felt before and it was
like we shouldn't be there.

We just had to stop and we just
looked at each other like,

okay, do you feel that?

All of a sudden we see this
massive figure come like

sticking out as a forest.

At her 17th birthday party,
Michaela McDonald Smith and her

friends were startled when they
heard strange sounds coming

from a nearby forest. Her
father Dawn left the group to

investigate the source of the
screaming. All of a sudden we

see this massive figure come
like sticking out of the forest

and it just scared the scared
us completely and we're just

like yeah okay we're done we're
running.

I remember just seeing their
flashlights and they came

running back like I mean they
came running back and I don't

think I've ever seen my dad so
scared. If you're witnessing a

very large dark cloud, chances
are that is multiple entities

and probably multiple negative
entities gathering together.

What?

That, yeah, that thing in the
forest was probably its number

one most scariest thing I've
ever had to deal with so far. I

would say this thing was like,
it was taller than us. It was

bigger. It was, I couldn't even
describe what the like kind of

a shape it was. The advice I
would give somebody who's

experiencing violent activity
from a spirit would be to

contact a local paranormal team
to try to get assistance.

Shaken by his experience, Don
called in a team of paranormal

investigators. The psychic and
the lead investigator, Michaela

went to the barn.

First time we went in, we were
getting spikes on our K2

meters.

And at one point a team member
Brat a medium psychic he picked

up on a male spirit who I
believe he said was the male

who was murdered at the farm
and then as we were moving

around he picked up on another
spirit female spirit

Uh the first recording that we
caught was a male voice. It

sounded agitated. The first
time we heard it, it was

basically just a high. Like
what did you all hear that?

We're all like, we all heard
that.

When we all walked in there,
noone wanted to be in there. It

was hard to breathe.

My teeth were like clenched
automatically. They hurt.

I was shaking not from fear but
more from anger. And Michaela

she couldn't she couldn't
breathe like she was shaking

and I guess her gums start to
bleed.

I had to walk out of the barn

I

And Brad decided that this
oppressive feeling was getting

to be too much and he started
asking more direct questions to

if there was anything there and
he was trying to basically get

in a response back and at one
point he started choking. He

felt he was being choked out.

And actually had to leave that
location because he was

basically getting in distress.

And when I was in the bar by
myself, I had what sounded like

footsteps circling me in the
stone. It's a stone floor.

So there was something of a
heavy weight walking around my,

walking around me, making the
noise. I had stones thrown at

me from inside.

Um a lot of just negative
feelings from the place.

I just pretty much didn't like
the feeling in there and left.

If a spirit doesn't like you or
it is particularly negative, in

rare cases, it can throw
objects at you and obviously

that's an expression of its
anger and its intent to hurt

you and that takes an awful lot
of energy, usually a lot of

negative energy to propel
something through the air like

that.

I have a photo of Brad walking
toward me and there is a, it

looks like a black mass in the
corner. It's blocking any light

behind it. It's actually, looks
like a human-sized shadow.

When we brought the evidence
back, I think for them, it was

more of a reassurance. They
felt justified, vindicated

like, yes, you guys got
something so it's real.

When things were starting to
get more spookier, I didn't

know if, you know, was it safe
for us to be here? Were we

causing something more than
what we should be just by being

here and living here? Was it
safe for my brother or my dad

or me or anyone else that came
to the house? So in twenty

fourteen, we decided to move.

I think there was a lot that
happened in that barn that a

lot of people will not know or
will ever know.
