All language subtitles for Paranormal Survivor - S04E07 - From The Graveyard

I was scared to death. It
wasn't a person. You are about

to see real people. I knew this
had to be a ghost. Reliving

horrifying paranormal
encounters for the first time.

When buried secrets rise up to
terrify the living. I was

terrified. That freaked me out.
That's an indication of

suicide. I mean I thought okay
this is it. I'm going to die. I

buried this for nearly 30
years. Be prepared. To be

afraid.

Psst.

Paranormal Survivor from the
Graveyard. Interview with Diana

Stevens. Take one. Marking.

The school house had been
converted into a private

residence when we moved in. The
graveyard that's next to the

house is a really old graveyard
by American standards. I

believe the original graves
there were date back to about

1750. The cemetery is still
active. Uh people are being

buried there regularly. Uh we
probably have a funeral once

every couple of weeks and
there's one gravestone in

particular that's pretty much
in our front yard.

When we moved into the house,
Michaela was four. It was

within a couple of months of
moving in that Michaela started

to have problems with what she
called people in her room. I

remember feeling people
watching me when I was sleeping

in my bed.

She felt that there was a crowd
around her sometimes when she

went to bed. Looking at her.
And she kept saying that she

had to pull the covers up
because she felt that she

didn't want to be watched. I
was pretty scared because I

didn't understand why people
were standing around my bed

looking at me.

Michaela's terrifying night
time visitors became a regular

occurrence. I decided I wanted
to have a tent on my bed, just

something to cover my bed just
so I had something over me.

Eventually, she wanted to sleep
under a small table in her

room. I was beginning to feel
that maybe there were things in

the house that I wasn't aware
of that she was seeing and as a

child was more open to than
perhaps I was. Children are

often more attuned to the
spiritual world because they're

innocent so they're innocent
and they're more accustomed to

absorption. They they will
absorb the energy rather than

ignorant. Kids are more attuned
to the spiritual world because

they literally see everything.
We tend to be born with six

senses. We rely on our five but
the sixth sense is the one that

as adults we tend to lose.
Children have that from

literally early on and they can
see everything which makes them

very vulnerable.

One night I was in my room in
the middle of the night.

Thunder woke me up. I saw a man
standing in the corner of the

room near me. He didn't do
anything. He just stared into

the other part of my bedroom.

And I screamed and when I had
the courage, I booked it to my

grandma's room. I jumped up and
and ran down the stairs as fast

as I could and she was already
in bed with my mother. She just

wanted to and she said there
was a man in my room and I said

you were dreaming and she said
no I wasn't dreaming I saw him

I was lying under my table and
I saw him standing by my door

and he was just looking off
into the other part of the room

I was terrified now my room
wasn't my safe space anymore

because people were watching me
there was a man in my room

didn't want to sleep there
anymore.

It was really tough being a
mother to see that my daughter

was that frightened.

The next morning, Diana asked
Michaela to show her what had

been scaring her so much during
the night. I drew three

pictures of people that I had
seen. I drew one of the man

that I saw when I was sleeping
under the table. I knew

instantly that he was a pastor
of some sort so I drew him in a

robe. And then the other one
that I drew was the face in the

tent. The face pressing through
the tent which was frightening

because the face is it kind of
has its mouth open as though to

yell. The third one that I did
is a is a crowd of people

standing around me. Was
terrifying too. The third

picture was of the figures who
stood around her bed.

Pictures that I drew are pretty
freaky looking especially of

the people in the room standing
around me, the crowd of people.

I was surprised at how specific
and detailed these pictures

were. That freaked me out. That
scared me because then I

thought okay, we have something
really serious going on now.

This is when I started to get
frightened because then I

started to see what she was
seeing and it was no longer

something nebulous or that
maybe had happened in her

imagination. If a child has an
experience and then draws what

they see, because children do
tend to take things at face

value, these things that they
draw are absolutely unellished.

They are what they see. So a
child will start to color what

it's seeing and if the photo or
the picture, the drawing is

getting progressively worse and
darker that tells the parent

that there's a problem that
needs to be addressed. As time

wore on, Diana started to
experience the paranormal

activity for herself.

One day, I came home from work
and I walked in the front door

of my house and I, my son was
home from college on break so I

knew that he might be home. Hi,
I'm Paul. And when I walked in

the front door, there was a
party going on.

There was music. There were
people talking. There was like

the sound of glasses clinking.
It it was a party. Hello?

And I thought it was coming
from his bedroom.

Diana Stevens and her family
had moved into a new home but

it didn't take long for spirits
to make themselves known. After

her daughter Michaela had been
terrified by apparitions in her

bedroom. She's a monster. Diana
soon experienced the eerie

disturbances for herself.

So, I opened his bedroom door
and there was noone there. The

noise shut off and there was
noone in the house. I felt as

though I had walked into a
dream when the noises suddenly

just shut off because I fully
expected totally 100% expected

that there were people in my
house my son and his friends

that were having a good time
and instead there was noone

here That was the first time I
really took a deep breath and

said, wow, we have ghosts.

It scared me. It really scared
me because I had never had an

experience like this.

The ghostly activity began to
affect Diana's mom as well. My

mom said I had a really
horrible experience last night

and she said I was lying in bed
and I suddenly felt someone

climbing to bed next to me. She
felt the sheets move. She felt

the pressure on the mattress.
She thought at first that one

of the kids had come in and sat
down on the bed and when she

turned over, she saw an old
woman lying next to her. And

she said, get out of my bed and
the woman was gone. She felt it

was someone who had come from
the graveyard and didn't yet

know that she had passed on.

My grandma said that they were
probably just passing through

and trying to find something to
latch onto and my grandma was

not having that. I was
concerned about my mother

because she doesn't get shaken
up very easily and this

frightened her.

With all the strange
occurrences in the home, Diana

decided she needed professional
help. When I reached out to

Mark, I wanted to, first of
all, have him validate what we

had been seeing and
experiencing. She was concerned

for her family, obviously, not
knowing exactly who was there.

She wanted to find out why they
were there and why so much

activity was happening. I said
to my wow, this is going to be

some interesting case. Look at
all this energy. There was

tremendous amount of energy on
this property. Even though it

was a very old, old cemetery,
there was a lot of activity.

What unusual. Historically, we
found that spirits who stay

earth bound try to cling on to
what they had when they were

alive and the biggest thing,
the closest thing to them is

their body. So, often they will
linger in cemeteries and in

this case, it was a quite a
good possibility that some of

the activity at least could
have been caused by spirits

roaming from the cemetery into
their home.

If Diana was right, there were
souls that were trapped there.

We wanted to make sure that
they got out of there and

transition properly to where
they need to go.

I sent Virginia and another
investigator into the

daughter's room. They started
to notice these EMF spikes

randomly happening. Emf stands
for electromagnetic field and

when a researcher is
investigating a location they

will have EMF detectors and
when the detector spikes

essentially it means that
something is manifesting in the

area I walked into the
daughter's room which was on

the right hand side and as I
was standing there as clear as

a bell this reverend came in
the reverend I felt was

watching over the grave sites
watch over his community. He

felt responsible for all that
lived in the area. So when

Michaela had seen that man in
the robe she felt frightened

but in fact what Virginia said
to us was that he was simply

looking around making sure
everything was okay and he had

no intention of frightening
Michaela. The ghostly reverend

was only the beginning.

One of our investigators had
actually seen what he believed

was a shadow figure walk down
the hallway on the first floor.

When he first saw it, he was a
little bit startled. He wasn't

expecting to see anybody back
there.

Virginia really quickly picked
up on a spirit of a man she

believed was named Henry. She
felt Henry came from the

cemetery. I felt his grave was
outside of the graveyard.

That's an indication of
suicide. We had heard through

people who have lived here for
many years that the tombstone

in our front yard was from a
man who committed suicide.

Diana Stevens new home was
situated next to a graveyard

which proved to be a conduit
for spirits. Not long after

moving in. Paranormal activity
began to manifest in terrifying

ways. Desperate, Diana called
in experts to help. They soon

made a chilling discovery. The
tombstone in our front yard was

from a man who committed
suicide. Sometimes they don't

bury them with the group. So I
said is he outside somewhere as

his grave site outside? And
they said yes, there's one

stone you couldn't see it. I
said this man harmed himself.

Virginia indicated to us that
he was wandering and continuing

to walk around the house to a
way to exit, to do something to

move on but he was afraid of
moving on because he was afraid

he would go to hell. He didn't
want to cross over because of

his teachings, because of what
he was taught that if you take

your own life, you're
condemned. It made me very sad

to think that there was someone
here who felt so trapped. Even

after you passed, certain
things stick with you and this

is what kept him grounded to
the earth. He couldn't move

forward. It was like he was in
quicksand.

Mark and his team had their
work cut out for them in order

to cleanse the spirits from the
home. So when we came up with

our plan to resolve this
haunting one of the people we

wanted to focus on was the man
who committed suicide. They've

determined that we had to cross
over this one gentleman who was

stuck in limbo because he
committed suicide.

Virginia actually set up a
portal. By which anyone who

wanted to go and who she'd
invited to go to Passover could

go through this portal. A
portal is exactly what it says.

Portal comes from the French
word pooked which means door.

So what a portal is is really a
doorway to another dimension or

another existence. Bringing
that spirit into an energy

source or the energy source.
Opening up a dimension whereby

they can go through and be with
their loved one. Virginia had

told me that Henry had a lot of
regrets about killing himself

and was very embarrassed for
doing so and he became stuck in

this area and didn't cross
over. When we crossed this

young man over who committed
suicide, his family came

together. He went into the
light and very humble.

When I was doing the clearing,
the reverend said, no. I stay

here with my people and I will
watch my town and take over it

and oversee it and make sure
everybody's fine. He was no

threat. We started to do our
work and we didn't realize this

but as though there was just
one. We must have cleared over

20 people not realizing because
the energy was so intense from

those grave sites. So it's like
me walking through a fog. Those

people were still lingering
around. So Virginia worked on

trying to release a lot of
those souls that that were

stuck behind here. I it's
terrifying to know that you

have a house full of people. If
she could move any along and

and help them find peace, that
was kind of my primary goal.

After we did the crossing, the
house felt very joyful. I felt

like everybody from the grave
sites came and and it was like

a choir in my ear like singing
and beautiful music was being

played. It was just amazing. I
was told that the portal would

only be open for a couple of
days and then it would be

closed. Anyone who wanted to go
and whom she'd invited to go to

Passover could go through this
portal.

The next day as I was walking
down the hall I saw a planted

where she had set up this
portal moving violently. The

leaves were were trembling and
moving as though there was a

strong gusty wind and of course
there wasn't. It was like there

were people passing through the
portal. To this day, I still

hear things. I hear people
walking through the hallway. I

hear people talking. It sounds
like loud parties are going on

sometimes. I like to think that
the people who were trapped

here have found peace. I'd like
to think that they are no

longer in limbo not knowing
whether they can move on to an

afterlife being afraid. So that
gives me that gives me a lot of

joy and happiness knowing that
they're not here anymore.

Paranormal entities can be
forever entwined with sacred

land. And if that land is ever
desecrated, it may unleash pure

evil. Desperate for revenge.

Paranormal Survivor Digging Up
Demons interview with John

Collins take one Mark

It was a beautiful house, one
story, living room, kitchen,

two bedrooms, a full bath, nice
house and the outside was

fairly big yard, plenty of room
for my daughter, and our dogs

to run and play. John and his
daughter Jenny loved their new

home. Until one faithful day, a
year later.

I was in the garage. It was
late in the evening and I

noticed that the lights inside
the garage start flickering on

and off.

My first life was electrical
short. We had recently put up a

fence for to keep the dogs in
the yard and I thought one of

the fence post had went into
the ground and hit the wire.

After checking the bulb and the
electrical panel, John thought

he had found the problem, a
corroded underground wire. Dug

up the yard. I was looking for
that wire. And I and I just dug

in the area where I thought the
wire was at. I dug

approximately two to three
inches before I I hit what I

thought was just a rock. Either
a rock or a part of the old

foundation. I worked it and
worked it and it finally came

loose.

And I looked down at it and I
was like what the heck is this

thing? And I seen the date of
1880 written on it. Oh my god,

that's a headstone. On a small
nameplate and it had Lucy

written on it backwards. And
that made me think, are we on a

cemetery? When the former Mayor
Wellsberg told us that there

was a cemetery and and back in
1800s when Mulberg was called

Lasersville and I think it's
creepy and disrespectful

because to a local cemetery not
left here

About two nights after I found
the headstand, I was in my

bedroom. It's probably about
two o'clock in the morning and

I heard footsteps out in the
living room, kitchen area.

It was like somebody had to
have eight boots on. Just boom,

boom, boom. The bedroom door
opened. And I was waiting for

somebody to come walking in
like my mother or my daughter

but instead I saw a blue
glowing all white and it it

came in was really scary
because I didn't know what it

was there was just no
explanation it was bad I just

had this dread feeling scared
the **** out of me

John Collins had found what he
thought was a perfect home but

after moving in, he made a
disturbing discovery and it

didn't take long for paranormal
entities to make themselves

known. And I saw a blue glowing
all white and it it it came in

I didn't know what it was there
was just no explanation it

scared the **** out of me and
it just it just like that it

just was gone

I rubbed my eyes. I was like
okay. Am I saying things? Am I

just really tired? I tried to
come up with with an

explanation as to what I saw.

After John's chilling
discovery, very strange things

started to occur. I wasn't
here. My mom, I believe was

like doing the laundry or in
the bathroom. There was a knock

at the front door. Mom went to
the front door opened it,

walked out. There's nobody. She
said I'll shoot him back into

the house. Knock, knock, knock.
Backdoor. I'm fine.

She thought it was me. She was
like, well, maybe I I had been

at the front door and she
didn't get there in time so I

went to the back.

Three knocks is supposed to be
the mocking of the trinity.

Some people might hear what
they refer to as the three

knocks of the trinity.
Basically what it is, it's a

mocking of faith. The trinity
being the father, the son, and

the Holy Spirit. Normally, when
that happens, it is a

manifestation of some kind of
malevolent or perhaps demonic

entity.

Soon even John's daughter Jenny
was affected by the paranormal

When Jenny's around 10 years
old, she was in my bedroom

watching TV and my mother had
to go to the restroom.

After my mother left, my
daughter said that she saw a

bald-headed old man wearing an
old-fashioned suit, walk along

the bed and he stopped at the
foot of the bed. He turned and

he looked at her like she had
he acknowledged she was there.

Oh, she was frightened.

She has asthma and she has an
asthma attack.

She was shaking a little bad.
Um just shaking and crying real

bad and then she said she
couldn't breathe. Here, try

this. Try this. I can't. Try it
again. Try it again. Well, she

has an asthma inhaler but it
did no good and that's what we

had to call the ambulance.
Sometimes, people can

experience severe physical
reactions like an asthma attack

when they see a manifestation
of spirit because it can affect

their nervous system which can
of course make them ill or

because the atmosphere is very
changed when an apparition

takes place that can make them
ill. After the incident with a

bald-headed man, my daughter
claims that she heard voices

talking and it's like a house.
I heard noises like like bangs,

scratching sounds. She told me
she was really scared. She told

me that she want to be here no
more.

So, I had to contact her her
mother and I mean, it broke my

heart that you know, I had to
do that. But you know, that's

what I did.

I didn't want her to go but she
couldn't stay here.

You know, I was afraid for, you
know, I was afraid what's here

could possibly hurt her.

I felt helpless because I'm her
dad. I'm supposed to protect

protect her and how am I
supposed to protect her against

something that I can't see?
Heartbroken over his daughter

leaving, John had no idea he
would soon become a victim

himself.

I was laying there in in my
bed.

And then I saw something right
in front of me. Over towards

the boss also in black.

It was big. It was tall. It was
probably probably about seven

feet tall.

You know, I I closed my eyes
and I covered my head up and

the next thing I know, I felt
somebody sit on the foot of my

bed. Soon as I I felt it set
down, I was just like, God

please help me. And then I felt
something ice cold. Hands. I

grabbed my ankles. Yeah, it
just, it pulled me. I mean, I

thought, okay, this is it. I'm
going to die.

Ever since moving into his new
home, John Collins had been

experiencing paranormal
activity. A ghost had nearly

scared his daughter to death.
And John was to find out this

was only the beginning. As he
came face to face with the

paranormal evil.

I mean, it pulled me like
halfway out of the bed. I

started pouring, you know, in
the name of Jesus and you know,

god help me, you know, stuff
like that. I mean, I thought

like, okay, this is it. I'm
going to die.

Now, put the light on. It it
let go. There is often our

A shaken and terrified John
would soon find out the spirit

had left its mark.

Notice I had scratches on me.

I'm like, how did I get this
all day?

You know, it would be on my
arms and I would have scratches

on my back and it's like a claw
mark.

The attacks was taking place.
It was draining my energy.

It's making me sick. Didn't
want to eat. It was making me

depressed. Made me isolate.

I believe I was being attacked
because I disturbed the grave.

Desecrating sacred ground can
be dangerous because sacred

ground has an energetic area of
protection around it. So by

digging it up, you're invading
that space and you may anger

anything that's attached to it.
It had escalated. To the point

where I felt that my life was
in danger. That's probably, I

think, I think that's whenever
I decided to contact Carla.

You're dealing with desecrated
land. Anytime you move a

cemetery, you're going to have
a lot activity bottled up on

that land.

Hello, good morning. Caroline.
The moment we arrived to John's

home, my first impression was
negativity. There was this

negative feeling in the air.

And when John first told me
about his experiences, that's

all signs of a hostile spirit
or possibly a demonic spirit.

With the demonic, I'll also
bring somebody of cloth, say a

pastor or priest with me. You
know, I knew going into this

case that we were going to be
in the spiritual warfare.

The same time I did ask the
pastor how he was feeling. He

did warn us you know just to
watch ourselves if we feel

anything or any any type of
energy come around us too close

to let him know.

The atmosphere did change a lot
more when we're in a basement.

When we got to tour the
basement, that's where the

feelings really got strong.

You got this weird feeling like
someone was there.

And we started off doing an EVP
session what we normally do on

investigation. EVP stands for
electronics phenomena and John

had mentioned that he found a
little plate or something like

that that said Lucy on it and
then all of a sudden, we start

talking about Lucy and as soon
as we start mentioning that, we

had some devices on the floor
as they lit up. All of a

sudden, I heard this scuffle
like someone was shuffling

their feet. I looked to my
right and I see this dark mass.

I mean, it was darker than
dark. It's like right beside me

within four, 5 feet. It's right
there. I didn't know if it was

going to come towards me,
human-like figure with no

facial features, no details,
just a human-like figure and

and then it shoots over pass
towards the pastor. You hear

this loud bang.

John Collins had been
experiencing terrifying

paranormal activity in his
home.

Ever since he dug up a
gravestone in his backyard.

With a foul spirit unleashed.
John was forced to call in

paranormal experts to help him
rid the home of the evil

presence. See this dark mass.
And and then it shoots over

pass towards the pastor.

As soon as it hits the pastor,
you hear this loud bang. The

moment the entity made contact
with the pastor, it like

exploded. I mean, it was like
the weirdest thing I've ever

seen. You just saw black smoke
like explode and then, it just,

you heard the loud bang.

And I just happened to be
holding a thermal imaging

camera and I went back and
reviewed it.

As I'm playing it back, I I
caught like one of the most

amazing pieces of evidence.

It was approaching the pastor,
you know, you're looking at

good versus evil. It knew that
he's possibly the one that's

going to get rid of him so
that's why he was going after

him.

And you can see this arm, it
goes into him and gives him an

uppercut and that's as soon as
it did that's when you heard

that loud bang. It's almost
like it was trying to fight him

and it couldn't defeat him and
dissipated.

Never seen nothing like that. I
mean, I've done 400 cases. I've

never seen anything like that
before. I saw the video of the

priest and My opinion, it was
trying to stop him. I'm trying

to stop him. Because they had
knew that that priest was

trying to get rid of him. But
once we seen that, we knew we

had to take action and start
doing that cleansing and

blessing.

A Holy Saints of God intercede
for us. A Holy Saints of God.

Uh the way the Pastor blessed
the house was he went room to

room. He read from the Bible. A
Holy Saints of God intercede

for us. You should never try to
combat a demonic spirit on your

own. People tend to lean on
their faith wherever that may

be. Uh bringing in a priest for
example is probably the smart

thing to do because you're
trained. They have priests who

are trained to deal with
demonic entities. A priest

believes in what he's reading.
There's the power behind the

words and it empowers everybody
in the room. All that positive

energy along with reciting
those words of power can

usually push a negative energy
out of the space. And he

started in the basement and
worked his way up to push the

entity out. Spare us oh Lord.
Oh holy saints of God.

Graciously hear us oh Lord. Be
merciful. Started feeling a

little bit of anxiety and
that's telling him that there's

something trying to fight him.
Me and my dad was at the back

door watch it inside the house.
I hope it'll save my family. As

he approached the back door and
he was doing his blessing

whenever. Oh holy saints of God
intercede for us. Be merciful.

I opened up the door because
they were getting ready to come

out and as I open the door and
he was doing that the blessing

whenever we me and my dog both
felt Augusta Wind and went

right out the door.

It went passed right through us
and went out the door.

Whenever we see him back in the
house, whenever he was done,

the heaviness that we felt was
gone. It felt like the house

was back. After we did the
cleansing blessing, we did not

believe Jen was in any more
danger. We felt confident that

we did get rid of that spirit
or the demonic. To protect

myself, they told me to say
prayers, go to church, change

anything negative in my life, a
positive. I did mention that

Jen he may have other spirits
show up just because of the

land. You know, there was a
cemetery here at one time as

desecrated land. So, you know,
once we move that, they may be

spirits still attached to that
land. So, he may start

witnessing other things. I felt
that, you know, it was gone.

You can breathe again. You
know, that heaviness was gone.

It was lifted.
