All language subtitles for Paranormal Survivor - S02E03 - An Invitation to Evil (Letting Them In) HD

And it 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.

And it would keep coming, creeping up my leg.

When the unsuspecting send an invitation to evil.

Never in a million years did I think that it

would happen in my home.

I buried this for nearly 30 years.

Be prepared to be afraid.

Sick as interviewed?

After years of dating, Sika Groves and her boyfriend Dave

were starting their life together

in Dave's parents' basement.

We went to visit the antique store

to pick up something special, something

that we thought would be our own.

Everybody else had given us things.

So we really wanted to get something

that we thought was unique and sort of said who we were.

When I first saw the washstand, it just stood out

because it was a classic, probably about 1870s

Victorian washstand.

But it was just really unique and really different.

And we fell in love with it.

Little did Sika know that the washstand had brought something

else along with it into her home, something

a lot less welcome.

It wasn't so much there was a change in the atmosphere

of the home, but it was just strange things

started happening.

At first, it was just lights going off and on

and or cupboard doors opening, those kinds of things

that you sort of think maybe somebody left the light on

or left the cupboard door open.

But then you start to wonder because you're

the only one home.

But I didn't say anything at the time

because I thought maybe they're going to think I was crazy.

I just remember going into the kitchen

and there was this huge ripping sound.

And it just sounded like a huge piece of fabric being torn,

but really violently torn.

And there was nobody home.

I was the only one there.

I was just like, oh, my God.

I'm going to die.

I was petrified and I was just like, oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I looked in the bathroom and I looked in the bedrooms

and there was just nothing to explain it, nothing.

It was just very, very scary for me at the time.

I think that it was probably about two months or so

after we'd purchased the washstand that we thought

that perhaps that was sort of the gateway for the spirit

to come in.

Why we didn't get rid of it?

Because I didn't believe it.

Something could manifest itself in a piece of furniture.

It wasn't long before the strange activity escalated

and more people experienced it.

We were sitting at the table in the kitchen

and the coffee maker just shifted out

into the middle of the table and then back against the wall.

It was a very, very scary experience.

And then it did it a second time and we all were, you know,

just sort of jumped up and was like, oh, my God,

what's going on?

Like, what's happening to us?

Several months after moving into their new home,

Sika and Dave decided to start a family.

But the joy of their baby son's arrival was short-lived.

An evil atmosphere seemed to permeate the home

and Sika and Dave began turning on each other.

I was exhausted from the whole thing

and exhausted from just, you know,

had a newborn baby, new child, and, you know,

a marriage that was going down the toilet.

So I said to my husband then,

I can't deal with this.

I am done! We are over!

The marriage over, Sika moved into her own place

with her young son, but she took the washstand

and her troubles with her too.

I took that washstand everywhere with me,

still not really believing that it was the source

of the problems.

There's a conception that spirits can only attach

to a location, where in fact they can attach themselves

to a person, a place, or a thing.

But to them, it's a place.

It's a place where they can be connected to.

And so, I think that's what Sika and Dave

were trying to do.

They were trying to connect to the spirit world

and to the place where they were.

And so, I think that's what Sika and Dave

were trying to do.

And so, I think that's what Sika and Dave

were trying to do.

They can only attach to a person, a place, or a thing.

But to them, it's something important,

something that connects them back to the world

of the living.

If it's an angry spirit, it can just start wreaking

havoc throughout the house.

This house was when a lot of activity started,

a lot more than what we had had previously.

Sika's son, now aged five, started to play

with an imaginary friend.

By this time, my son had given him a name.

I'd go upstairs and he'd be in his room talking

and I'd be like, who are you talking to?

And he'd go, oh, it's Lenny, Mom.

Like, it was nothing.

And then he'd go, don't you see him?

He's wearing a white shirt and black pants.

And I'm like, no, I don't see him.

So what I did say to him is I'm like, don't talk to him.

Don't talk to him.

Just, you know, if he comes and bothers you,

you come and tell me.

I had bought my son this teddy bear

that could tell stories.

And you put a little cassette tape in

and it would tell stories.

And there was a couple of times where the bear

just started going off, like talking,

and the tape would start to play.

It was like the tape would go, it'll go slow,

and then it would speed up.

And I thought maybe it's being worn, it's breaking.

So I just took the batteries out of the bear.

And it came on.

Even without the batteries in it, the bear came on.

And I thought, oh, my God, it's a bear.

I didn't want anything interfering with my child.

I mean, I'm a mom.

And once again, the evil influence of the washstand

started to cause trouble in Sika's personal life.

She was a very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, a bit

too far in the fifth year of her life.

It started to escalate.

When I started to date again, any time a new guy

would come over to the house, things would start to happen.

What was the reason?

Because as soon as something would be done again,

I felt I was bending over backwards

Seeker groves had tried to escape the paranormal activity that plagued her by moving house,

but she had unwittingly brought along the very thing that was causing it.

Her beloved wash stand.

Anytime a new guy would come over to the house, things would start to happen.

They would say, something's touching me, something's poking me.

There was a point where I felt comfortable with the guy that I was seeing staying over.

The first night that he stayed over, it was maybe four o'clock in the morning, and I could

hear a little toy cell phone that my son had going off in the hallway.

And so I got up.

I got up out of bed to see if my son was up.

And there wasn't anything there.

The noise stopped as soon as I opened the bedroom door.

My son was fast asleep in his bed.

I headed back to the bedroom, and when I walked into the room, it was dark, but I could see

that my boyfriend was just lying stiff in the bed and staring at the ceiling, and he

was shaking.

And I was like, what's wrong with you?

What's the matter?

And he's like, it's sitting on the bed, it's sitting on the bed, it's sitting on the bed,

it's sitting on the bed.

He was petrified.

There's something on the end of the bed.

He was so scared, he got up and he left.

Honey, where are you going?

He just, you know, up and left.

It was 4.30 in the morning, and he wouldn't stay.

Where are you going?

I was mad.

I mean, I was angry just because of what had happened, right?

And I was really mad.

And I was like, why are you doing this?

Stop doing this.

You know, you're ruining my life.

I think that was really the crux of when I felt like I have to do something.

My boyfriend's mother had suggested that we bring somebody in that could do feng shui.

You know, she sort of said, maybe you have bad energy flow in the house and there's things

that they can help you realign and realign the energy.

And if there's bad things there, they can, you know, make them leave.

And I'm thinking, okay, it sounds crazy enough that it just might work.

The feng shui expert immediately zeroed in on the washstand as the object that had brought

the spirit into Sika's life.

And she says, you're a magnet.

You attract them.

And I was like, what?

What are you talking about?

I didn't attract any.

She says, that's why it's here.

It might have come with the furniture, but it's here because of you.

The best way to remove a spirit from a house, when you're dealing with an object, maybe

an antique that you have purchased somewhere, it would be a good idea to get rid of that

antique, not to give to someone else that you don't like, but to get rid of the object

altogether.

And that way you're getting rid of the attachment to that object, whether you bury it, some

people want to burn it, but just get rid of it altogether.

It's just a better way to do it.

What are we going to read today?

What are you going to read to me?

Only then did things get back to normal.

It just says, the voice is sticking.

My son wasn't seeing him anymore and things just weren't happening.

For me mentally, it made a big difference.

Not every spirit can be gotten rid of so easily.

In some cases, a paranormal entity can spread like an infection from one person to another,

causing terror and chaos in its path.

I've always had an interest in the paranormal, but I never ever thought that I'd ever experience

one.

It all started when Susan Hayes was having coffee at her friend's house.

There she experienced something chilling.

I could sense this entity and it would start out like a coldness in the bottom of my foot,

like actually like it was entering my body and it would keep coming, creeping up my leg

and I would just close my eyes and recite the Lord's Prayer over and over again, Our

Father, our heaven, and I kept redoing it and it would just kind of go away again.

Susan's friend told her she too had begun to experience strange things and they all

started when she let a mutual friend rent a room in her house.

There was a girl that they let stay for a few weeks.

She was in between residences and she had went in there one night and heard her chanting.

rotor.

while at her friend's house.

But that wasn't the only weird thing going on there.

There was a girl that they let stay for a few weeks.

She was in between residences.

And she had went in there one night and heard her chanting.

There's water for our children.

She peeked in the room, and she was doing some type

of a ritual on the floor.

-♪♪

-♪♪

-♪♪

-♪♪

Then she just suddenly moved out about a few weeks later.

When you're dealing with ceremony rituals,

depending on the intention of that ceremony,

if your intention is to be ill-willed

or to just open the door to anything,

you can invite anything into the house, even evil spirits,

and most likely the people you don't want

to come into that room.

-♪♪

Susan and her friend decided to cleanse the house

of whatever entity the boarder had ushered in.

The spirit of the Lord spoke to me.

We just kind of went online to try to find out

what we should do, so we just kind of tried to handle it

ourselves initially, but, you know,

it was honestly a big mistake.

So as soon as we started reading the Bible and smudging,

the little wooden keys just slid right across the front of us.

-♪♪

-♪♪

-♪♪

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Needless to say, we kind of screamed and ran out the door.

It terrified us quite a bit.

-♪♪

I knew that she had summoned something into their home,

and they had only tried to help her, so I was very upset.

-♪♪

About two weeks after,

my friend's family just decided to move.

They just had had enough,

and they decided not to try to fight it.

-♪♪

I was just in my room, just relaxed,

relaxing, watching TV,

and all of a sudden I felt that cold,

horrible, evil sensation again

that I felt over at my friend's house.

-♪♪

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

-♪♪

And I immediately knew it was there.

I just knew, and I was terrified.

-♪♪

It seemed that the entity from her friend's house

had now attached itself to Susan.

-♪♪

Soon the paranormal activity got worse.

-♪♪

There would be scratching in the walls.

You could hear, um, another time,

I could hear crashing up in the attic.

So it would just, it would just do anything it could

just to disturb you in the middle of the night.

-♪♪

-♪♪

-♪♪

It was antagonizing me so badly that I honestly thought

I was going to lose my mind.

I had just bought the house, so I was not going to move out.

So I just, you know, I was determined to get rid

of this thing.

-♪♪

Stop it!

-♪♪

Susan knew she had to call in an expert.

She contacted paranormal investigator

Michelle DeRoche for help.

When Sue sent me an email, I immediately felt drawn to her.

Right off the bat, I could feel the desperation in it.

-♪♪

When I reached out to Michelle, you know,

I just gave her a vague message.

I think we have a ghost problem.

Hi!

Hi!

Michelle brought along a friend who was a psychic

to help with the investigation.

This is Tyler.

Hi, thank you.

Tyler, he, uh, he, he walked into my house

and my cat went right to him, which was unusual in itself

because my cat always hid from company.

Meow!

Meow!

The cat starts meowing at him, like, meow, meow.

And he starts answering it.

He's like, oh, thank you, thank you.

And I'm like looking like, what?

Purring.

He says, oh, I can communicate with animals.

Meow.

And then the cat kept beckoning Tyler to follow.

Meow!

Meow!

And, you know, you're just like, what?

And, uh, the cat showed him where the same woman

who had done the ritual at the other house

had hidden things in my home as well.

While visiting Susan's house, her friend's lodger

had put an evil hex on Susan, too.

I found, uh, small pieces of mirror throughout the house,

which I guess I found afterwards can act as a portal or a, you

know, an entry place into my home.

We had found jars of urine hidden up in the rafters

as well as a few other things.

We had found jars of urine hidden up in the rafters

as well.

From what I gather, that was a way

that she could kind of hold claim to my home.

A lot of that has to do more with the occult, you know,

working around the black arts.

They will leave things like that on the premises,

and they will take something out of the home.

It's like an exchange almost.

Terrified of what malevolent entities the hidden objects

were bringing into her home, Susan

decided to get it cleansed.

He basically did a smudging ceremony, you know,

where he would come in with just a big sage smudge stick.

Michelle and the psychic were unable to completely remove

the spirit in one session, so they gave Susan instructions

on how to keep it at bay until they could

return to remove it for good.

Michelle instructed me to just to be very diligent,

try to smudge daily.

She gave me some exercises to do, like salt baths,

stuff like that, so that it personally couldn't infest me,

because it certainly did dry all the time.

And we taught her basically how to kind of keep

her environment calm.

Calm?

Michelle had calmed the activity in Susan's house,

but in doing so, she had provoked a spirit that was not

yet finished with her or her family.

Paranormal investigator Michelle DeRoche

had taken the first steps toward ridding Susan Hayes'

home of sinister forces.

But before she could return to finish the job,

she had no idea the evil would infect a new victim much closer

to home.

when she started doing the investigations.

I didn't believe in much of anything

until things started happening to me.

I was living in Sault Ste. Marie,

and it was downtown.

I was living with my daughter,

and I had a lot of overnight guests during this time.

Tammy and her friends began experimenting

with a spirit board.

I don't even remember where we got it from,

but we started out with just a regular board that you can buy.

I was always interested in that kind of thing,

and it intrigued me.

I wanted to know if it worked.

I wanted to know if it was a good thing.

I wanted to know if it was a bad thing.

There were four of us that played on a regular basis.

But I didn't realize how serious it could become.

We thought it was just a game.

It started out with just dead grandparents,

things like that.

I was always interested in that kind of thing.

I was always interested in the spirit world.

Their curiosity quickly turned into an obsession.

It was giving us yes and no answers to our questions,

and we were just like,

It was giving us yes and no answers to our questions,

and from there, it just kept telling us a story.

And as we got into it more, we started taking notes

so that we could keep track of what was being told.

were getting from the board.

There was one particular night and it's still unbelievable.

My friend that was playing with us,

she was sleeping on the floor.

We were trying to wake her up and she started literally talking in what I believe to be

tongues.

At least 10, maybe even 15 minutes it took for her to finally come around.

And when she woke up, her eyes were bloodshot and she didn't remember anything about the

dream or us trying to wake her up.

I really thought that she may have been possessed at some point.

It definitely scared all of us.

Once you have opened that door with the spirit board, there can be a lot of horrible consequences.

The spirits can become dangerous and there are even many cases of possession as a result.

Using a spirit board is just inviting all kinds of trouble you do not need.

The possession didn't stop Tammy and her friends from using the spirit board.

But nothing could prepare them for what would happen next.

We were looking in the window, or out the window, and you could see them outside.

Two different spirits were dueling, I guess you could say.

It's still unbelievable when I talk about it.

It was very frightening.

We couldn't believe it.

We couldn't believe it.

It was one thing to see them in the apartment, but to know that they can go outside actually

scared me even more.

Afraid of the demons they had unleashed, Tammy realized they had gone too far.

Demons turned out to be the least of Tammy's problems when evil forces started to take

over the thing most precious to her.

Billy acting strangely.

Billy?

I went to go into her crib to lift her up and her eyes scared the living daylights out

of me.

Everything okay?

Everything okay?

Knowing that as a mother I'm supposed to be picking her up and taking care of her, but

I'm so afraid by the look on her face and how she was staring at me with black eyes.

It was very scary to know that something else could control me as a mother where I

didn't feel like I could protect her.

Knowing that we were playing with such evil things, I was very worried that something

would happen to her.

I do believe that we released something, but the story needs to be told because there's

other people out there that are just as young and innocent and maybe stupid if you want

to call it as we were.

I'm hoping that through me they can learn the lesson.

The next morning Tammy moved out and cut all ties with the group.

Though we all live in the same city, none of us talk anymore.

We don't want to have anything to do with each other anymore.

She vowed never to touch a spirit board again and the paranormal activity stopped.

If you're going to do it, have great respect.

Don't play with it.
