- I never experienced
anything paranormal

before I moved into that house.

- What is that?

- I have no idea.

- Hear it?

- It's walking back
and forth up there.

- Quiet, everyone. Shh, shh!

Quiet!

We didn't expect
anything to happen.

But this night was different.

- I'm getting goose bumps.

I can recall that moment.

- He was lifted through the air.

- What happened?

- I was in shock.

- I was worried they
would find me dead

or that I would find them dead.

[Haunting music]

♪ ♪

I was 23 years old.

I had a two-year-old son,

and I was six or seven months
pregnant with my daughter.

My husband and I
were having problems,

and we just decided it was
better for us and the kids

if we just weren't together.

I was looking for
a place to rent,

and I wasn't looking
for anything in particular.

I just stumbled
across that place.

- Apple?
- I liked it right away.

- Yeah.

- It was a little bungalow.

It was off the street.

It was private.

It was the perfect
place to start a new life.

My ambitions
were to finish school

and to get a job that I
could support my family with.

I was trying to get my degree,

so it was a lot of work
at home, a lot of studying.

- [Over TV] This
clown is my husband.

- Husband?

- Yeah, you know. Husband.

[Humming "wedding march"]

- I had this picture in my mind.

Everything was just
gonna be perfect.

But after about a month or so,

I started to hear odd
sounds around the house.

[Objects clattering]

It sounded like pebbles,

like somebody dropped
a handful pebbles

from the top of the wall,

and they just fell all
the way to the bottom.

That is not a normal
sound that a house makes.

It was just so distinctive.

Gave me a shiver up my spine.

Bit by bit, I began to realize

that a lot of the activity
was coming from above me.

It happened every night,

a very particular strange sound,

very high-pitched,

almost to where
it hurt your ears.

[High-pitched whining]

It seemed to be coming
from up in the attic.

I noticed that the
trap door was open.

I never would have
opened that door.

I wanted to put
the door on right.

I started to think
that I was not alone,

that there was other things
in that house besides me.

[Knocking]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You okay?

- My close friends were
staying more and more often.

- Thanks.

- I remember telling
my friend, Susan,

some of the things
that happened.

- So what's up?

- She was a big support.

- And they sound like they're
coming from the ceiling.

[Loud banging]

- What the hell was that?

- We heard a big bang
coming from the kitchen.

One of the pictures that
was hanging on the wall

was propped up against the sink.

The nails were also placed...

They were standing
perfectly on their heads.

Nails can't come
directly out of a hole

come down, then
end up on their heads.

Somebody or something did that.

- Eight.

What's this one?

- One of the neighbors
was a young girl.

She was 16 years old.

Her name was Tina.

She would come over
and baby-sit for me.

- Don't forget to change him
before you put him down, okay?

- Of course.

- I thought that she
was really, really nice,

and she was a
really dedicated mom.

- I'll see you soon, okay?

Hmm? Yeah?

Be good.

- I enjoyed her company a lot.

Like, we used to
talk and hang out

even when I wasn't babysitting.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Have a good night.
- Bye.

- [Over TV] Don't look now,
man, but your muffler's moving.

[Laughter]
- Who are you?

- Jackie was out, and
she'd asked me to babysit,

and Jamie was asleep.

[High-pitched whine]

It was getting pretty late.

I hadn't heard any
noise for a while.

So I wanted to just make
sure that he was okay

and peek in on him.

The door just opened for me,

and I thought,
"well, that's weird."

Turned around and pushed
the door closed behind me

and the latch caught the door.

Jamie was fine.

[Door clicks]

But then coming back,
the same thing happened.

I thought, "maybe,
you know, it's the house.

"It's... the floor's not level.

If you step here, it's
gonna swing the door."

I would explain it
away, explain it away,

but when it got to the point
that I couldn't explain it away,

it was very frightening.

- So how's school going?

- It's all right.

- We were just talking,
making something to eat.

- Hey, do you see this?

- I looked up, and
there was these lights.

- What is that?

- I have no idea.

- It wasn't something
that I've ever seen before.

- It's not like a
reflection off of anything.

They had, like, substance
to them, you know?

- I really don't have a
good feeling about this.

- You know what?

- Yeah, Jackie,
let's just get out.

- I did not want
to be in her house.

- I remember grabbing the
camera and taking some pictures.

- Oh, come on.

- And then all of a sudden,
the camera stopped working.

- What is wrong with this thing?

- She handed me the
camera, and she's like,

"see if you can get it
to work," and I thought,

"well, maybe if we're not trying

to take pictures of
the lights, it'll work."

So I pointed it out
the kitchen window.

- [Screams]

- I saw a face in the viewfinder
of an emaciated old man...

Almost skeleton-like.

I just had to run.

- When that happened,

there was no doubt in my mind

that there was
something in that house.

- What number is that?

- Nine.
- Nine!

Yeah!

You're hilarious.

- Seven.
- Seven!

What is that one?

- My ex-husband, al,

used to come and visit
every now and then.

He was very, very
good with Jamie.

I was telling al
some of the things

that had been going
on in the house.

- I think there's something
wrong with this house.

- She felt that there
was something very odd

about the house.

She says, "I feel
something here."

- I get this cold
feeling about it.

- Truthfully, I thought that
she was trying to draw attention

and trying to draw my attention
to the fact that she was alone.

- You don't believe me, do you?

- He didn't really believe me.

He thought I was exaggerating.

- Without a doubt,
I had to assume

that maybe something
was wrong with her.

I thought, "how can
I explain this to her

"where she'll feel
that, 'yeah, that's right;

that's what it is,
nothing to worry about'"?

- There has to
be an explanation.

- He was trying to talk to
me, and saying, "you know,

why don't you just
call it out, challenge it?"

- What?

- Call it out.

- I said, "well,
if you are here,

then let's see."

- Show yourself.

- I was just terrified.

I'm like, "what the
heck is he doing?

What's gonna happen next?"

Nothing did happen.
It was just still.

- See?

I'll see you when I can.

- I go into the closet.

An entire wall was written al,

"a" in blue and "l" in red.

And it was written hundreds
and hundreds of times.

That was the answer
to the challenge.

If I had the money,

I would have moved
out right away,

but there was no way
I could have moved

with the expense
that it costs to move.

- You need to to tell
someone what's going on here.

- Susan said, "well,
maybe you should tell

the landlords what's going on."

- It's their house.

- I remember me saying,

"I don't want to tell anybody

because I don't want
them to think I'm nuts."

It was a few weeks later that
I was out walking with Susan.

I was eight or nine months
pregnant at the time.

- How are ya?
- Susan.

- The landlord and his
wife were also coming back.

We bumped into each
other on the sidewalk,

and then sue just
brought up the activity

that was happening in the house.

- Jackie's having some
trouble at the house.

- When the landlord
acted concerned about it,

then I thought, "well, maybe
he's not gonna think I'm crazy."

He asked if I had any objection
to them bringing in a priest.

So I said, "sure."

I just didn't have a good
feeling towards them

from the very beginning.

They both seemed to be
very cynical about everything,

like they were judging me.

- I see you like horror movies.

- Uh, those ones
are my ex-husband's.

- Your ex-husband?

- Yeah.

- I had a aquarium.

On the bottom, there was a
little ornament of a skeleton.

He said that I was bringing
death into my house.

- I'm sorry?

- The skeleton.

- That just struck me as odd.

I had a collection of dolls
from different countries.

There was one that was a
souvenir from the Caribbean.

He said it was a voodoo doll.

By that point, I was feeling
very, very uncomfortable.

- Seems to me
like you are bringing

most of this
trouble on yourself.

- [Crying]

- Um, I'll be right back.

I just have to go
get my son, okay?

- [Crying]

- Jamie was screaming.

They said my son
wasn't acting normal

and that he was
possessed by the devil.

That's why he was crying.

- He doesn't appear
to be acting normal.

- He said, "can we
bless your son?"

- In the name of
the father, the son...

- Jamie just screamed.

He didn't want
this guy near him.

- And the holy spirit...

- Then he said, "don't you
want to bless the unborn too?"

- In the name of
the father, the son...

- I do believe in god,

but everything they said
as far as I was concerned

when they entered that
house was ridiculous.

- [Crying]

Fish!

Whee!

[Typewriter clacking]

- The following day was
gonna be a long one for me

because I had an assignment due.

[Knocking]

- Hi, Jackie Hernandez?

- Yes.

- Hi, I'm from social services.

I'm wondering if
you have a moment

that I could come in
and speak with you.

- That just caught
me totally off guard,

like, you know, what would
social services be doing here?

- Come on in.

- Thank you.

- Sorry about the mess.

- It was like probably
the worst time ever

that they could have knocked
on my door and come in.

I hadn't had a chance
to clean it that morning.

Jamie had chocolate
cupcake on his face.

He was still in his pajamas.

- Can I ask why you're here?

- We've had a report that...

- She said they had a
report from the two priests

that I had been
on hallucinogenics

and I was pregnant.

- I'm sorry?

- It was just so off the
wall to me and crazy.

I had never taken any drugs.

I wasn't even drinking.

- [Singsong jabbering]

- I was worried for my kids.

It is possible to
take your children,

even if you are
a perfect mother.

- That's everything
I need for today.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- It just taught me the lesson

things are better left unsaid

because you never
know what can happen

if you tell people.

I wasn't going to say
anything to anybody ever again.

Shortly after that, I had
Samantha, my daughter.

I brought her home,

and after everything
that happened,

I really was hesitant
about bringing her there,

but I had no choice.

A couple of days later, I
return from grocery shopping.

I had the bags in my arm.

It spelled, "get the hell out."

The doors were still locked.

Everything else was untouched.

There was no logical
explanation, none.

I knew at that point
it was not friendly

and it didn't want me around,

'cause that was definitely
directed just at me.

I was afraid of going to sleep

because I had to
watch over those kids.

And what if I wasn't able to see
what was happening to them?

I was sleeping on the daybed.

Jamie was sleeping with me.

I was afraid to put
him in the bedroom.

And Samantha slept in a
little bassinet next to me.

The level of fear built up
more and more every night.

I can remember waking
up and hearing breathing.

- [Raspy breathing]

- It was loud, and
it was distinctive.

I can't even
describe the feeling

of being as scared as I was.

I saw somebody
sitting on the bunk bed.

- I was just totally terrified.

I looked up again,
and he was gone.

- [Panting]

[Shades scraping and clunking]

- Every single
shade in the house

went up at the same time.

[Baby fussing]

[Baby crying]

You can't rationalize that.

I didn't sleep the rest
of the night, you know?

I was just trembling all night.

I remember that.

It was important for me

not to let the kids

see how frightened I was.

I had to keep it away from him.

I would try not to allow
myself to be afraid.

At least pretend like I wasn't.

It is the most helpless feeling.

There's something
that's in the house

that actually was
there before you came,

so it's not your house.

It's their territory, not yours.

So you're the intruder.

That's how I felt.

I felt like I was the intruder.

- Listen, you can't
go on like this.

You got to get some help.

- My friend Susan said
that she had a number

that she had gotten that
was a parapsychologist.

You know, I should call
him and get some help.

- I want you to call him, okay?

- No way.

- But I said no because
of what had happened

the last time I allowed
somebody into the house.

- I really think you
need to call him.

- She gave me the
number anyway and said,

"here, call it when
you're ready,"

and I put it into a drawer.

Later on, I remember
I was doing dishes.

It was pretty late.

My first reaction
was, "I cut myself."

But when I turned around,

it was coming
out of the cabinets.

It was forming on the glass.

It was all around me.

It was infecting my kitchen.

I thought I got to do something.

I called the parapsychologist.

[Phone pad beeping]

[Phone line trilling]

- [Sobbing]

- I remember the night that
the paranormal team arrived.

My ex-husband happened to
be visiting the kids at the time

which was good because
he could keep them occupied.

- She told me that she
had found these people

that investigated
such happenings.

- You okay?

- I kind of thought, "why not?"

This is perfect.

These people will come in.

They won't find anything.

And we're done
with it, you know?

And I was ready to
wipe my hands of it

and say good-bye, good riddance.

- Hi. Come on in.

- The parapsychologist
himself came in first.

- Jackie?
- Yes.

- After him came this whole
herd of people carrying cameras.

That was something
I didn't expect.

It was like a circus.

- Barry, where you gonna
want the lights set up?

- As a cameraman, I've been
a professional videographer

for many years.

I thought, "well, you
know, it's one thing

"to go into a haunting and
hear all of these stories,

"but it's another thing

if we could capture
something on videotape."

I think any cameraman
worth his salt

would say the same thing.

- How's that? You think
that's a good angle?

- I think that's good, yeah.

- They already
had it pre-planned

what they were going to do.

They never informed me of it.

They were going to document it.

- I'm sorry.

I'm still a little confused

as to what's going on.

- Just gonna do
a quick interview

and have you tell us
some of the amazing stuff

that you've been
experiencing here in the house.

- I did not want it documented.

I wanted it out of my house.

I wanted it gone.

I wanted normality.

- So, Jackie, why don't
you tell us a little bit

about what's going on?

- Jackie herself seemed scared.

We wanted to find out

what her experiences
were in the house.

- You can feel a presence?
You can sense a presence?

- Yeah.

- One of the paranormal
team was very skeptical.

You could tell by
the look on his face.

And Barry Conrad
was just the opposite.

- Something you can't explain.

- Yeah, there's just...

There's something wrong.

There's something
here all the time.

- All of a sudden,
the light goes off.

- Right during the interview.

- Problem with the power?

- You know,
they're just thinking

maybe the electricity went out.

Maybe there was
a fuse or whatever.

And I knew... I knew
exactly what it was.

He was angry that these
people were in the house,

and I just knew that.

Then the light goes back on.

- Okay.

- It's coming from up there.

- I told them about the
noises I've heard in the attic.

- From the attic?
- Yeah.

- So I remember
asking my friend,

who was a still photographer,

if he might want to go up
there and take a few photos.

- Sure. Why not?

What else are we
here for? Let's go.

- He was the one
who was very skeptical.

- In fact, he
whispered in my ear,

he says, "it'll be
a cool drink in hell

before I ever believe that
there is a ghost in this house."

- You got enough space up there?

- Oh, yeah, there's
a lot of space.

- I was laying there
just kind of listening.

I was wide awake.

I wasn't sleeping
or anything like that.

- Nothing but spider webs.

- I'm getting goose bumps

because I can
recall that moment.

I heard something whisper
into my ear so clearly.

- Tell them to get
the hell out of here.

- Seconds after I heard this,

I heard someone
yell from the attic.

- [Yelling]

- I heard something
whisper into my ear so clearly,

"tell them to get
the hell outta here."

- [Yelling]

- My friend comes bolting down,

all of the color
drained out of him.

- Something just
grabbed the camera

right out of my hand, man,

pulled it right out of my hand.

- You sure you
didn't, like, just drop it

or catch it on something?

- Something grabbed my camera.

- All of a sudden,
all that skepticism

that he had before
was gone, erased.

- He was really, really scared,

but I think that his
concern for his livelihood

overcame his fear because
this was, you know...

This was how he made his living.

He was a still photographer.

- I got to get that camera, man.

It's a $2,000 camera.

I've got to get it.

- I'll come with you. I'll
be right behind you, okay?

- He decided to go back up
into the attic to find his camera.

- I put up a 1,000-watt light.

I wanted see every nook
and cranny of the attic.

- You don't see anything?

- No, nothing yet.

I don't see the camera anywhere.

- I don't think I shot
more than a minute.

The camera
completely neutralized.

- Can you change
the battery on that?

- So they changed the battery.

And it worked just
fine downstairs,

but they pulled it
through the hole,

and it wouldn't
work at all again.

- I'm still not getting
anything on here.

- I thought, "well,
how can this be?"

- Is this the new battery?
- Yup.

- I got it.

- You found it?
- Yeah.

- They finally did find
the body of the camera

on one corner of the attic.

- It was lying facedown
in a little crate.

The lens had been removed.

- I got the lens here.

- We found the lens
behind the trapdoor.

- So what do we do now?

- Well, we take
things back to the lab.

We...

[clattering]

- All of a sudden, it's
like somebody is walking

back and forth up above us.

- I knew I'd just been up there.

My friend had
just been up there.

And there was nobody
up in that attic whatsoever.

- Did you get that on tape?

- Yeah.

- We did one final
interview with Jackie.

- I got to go.

- The whole thing
was very frightening.

I remember telling my friend,

"I think we better
get out of here."

- It was unbelievable to me

that they were getting
ready to go and walk out.

- So you're just
gonna leave me here?

- Sorry, lady.

- They were gonna get the
proof that it was in the house,

and then they were gonna leave?

They were gonna
rile this up and leave?

- Wait...
- Thank you very much.

We'll be back. Don't worry.

There's nothing to worry about.

- I started questioning
why I even called them.

- I got back to my apartment

and started looking
at the videotapes.

- Here.
- Hear it?

- Something's walking
back and forth up there.

It is walking, definitely.

Quiet, everyone. Shh, shh!

Quiet!

[Footsteps thunking]

It was amazing.

There was these footsteps
coming from above us.

I felt like these
were part and parcel

to whatever this haunting was.

[Footsteps thunking]

I was extremely frightened
by what I had witnessed.

Quiet, everyone. Shh, shh!

Quiet!

- [Over TV] Well, I didn't think

it was anything
you needed to know.

- Oh, I'm beginning to
understand what's going on here.

- The very last night I
stayed at that house,

I was on the couch watching TV,

and I had both of the
kids right next to me.

- [Over TV] I haven't even
had a chance to take a shower,

and some lawyer starts
knocking on my door

to serve me with divorce papers.

[Chiming and whirring]

- There was noises
coming from the bedroom,

and it sounded as if
something was in there

playing with my kids' toys.

[Chiming and whirring stops]

A beach ball comes
out of the room

as if somebody
just threw it out.

I knew I wasn't gonna be
going to sleep that night.

I closed my eyes for a minute,

not to go to sleep,

but just to rest
them for a second.

[Bead curtain rattling]

[Clock ticking]

Something was holding me down.

I couldn't breathe.

I tried to get
up, but I couldn't.

I thought I was gonna die.

- Something was holding me down.

I couldn't breathe.

I tried to get
up, but I couldn't.

I began to think, "oh,
my gosh, the kids."

Then it let go.

- [Gasping]

[Panting]

- [Eerie whispering] Jackie...

- I had a baseball bat.

Something snapped inside of me.

I just took the bat
and just said, "I had it."

I had enough."

I was expecting him to appear
just like every turn I made.

[Creaking]

I realized that that old
man's domain was the attic.

That was his space.

I wanted to fight for the
house that I was paying to rent.

I wanted it to be
me and the kids

and nothing else in that house.

That's what drove me up there.

Even though it wasn't
a very smart thing to do,

I was just fighting
for what was mine.

That was the first time
I've ever went into the attic.

- [Panting]

[Wood creaking]

Come on and show yourself!

- I was confronting
it and challenging it.

- Come on.

- At least give me a fight

instead of suffocating
me when I'm sleeping.

- Where are you?

Come on.

[Wood creaking]

[Shrieks]

- I fell to the floor.

I just grabbed the kids and
just ran out of the house.

I was worried I wasn't
being able to protect my kids.

I was worried that something
would happen to me

and they would find me dead...

Or that I would find them dead.

[Phone beeping]

[Line trilling]

[Phone ringing]

[Machine beeps]

- We're not here.
Leave a message.

- Barry, it's Jackie.

- Jackie?

- Suddenly Jackie called
my answering machine.

- Jackie, is that you?

- Please, you got
to come help me.

- Absolutely terrified
out of her mind.

- Please, you have to come now.

There's something in the house.

- As she was talking,

she suddenly cried out,
and she dropped the phone.

- And all of a
sudden, the line is cut.

[Dial tone humming]

- Jackie?

- We're like,
"Jackie?" You know?

"Are you there,
Jackie?" You know?

We didn't know what happened

'cause she was no
longer on the line.

- We were so concerned about her

we decided that we better
go down and check it out.

- I had thought they were
gonna take me out of the house,

so I was ready to leave.

- Please, there's... no,
there's something in the house.

Please, we need to go now.
- Okay, just calm down.

- They bring out
all their equipment,

their video cameras
and everything,

and they go into the house,

and I'm thinking,
"what are they doing?"

- We were all curious.

We wanted to know
whether the entity

really was in the
house that night.

- To me, it was my life,

and to them, it was
making a movie.

- I don't hear a thing.

- When we walked into the house,

there was not a
sign of anything.

- You want to go upstairs
and check out the attic?

- The attic?

- Yeah.

- The same
photographer who was...

Already had an
incident up in the attic,

he decides to go up
again into the attic.

- The photographer
had a flashlight.

Barry handed me just a
small instamatic camera.

- And I think when
they first went up there,

they didn't really expect
anything to happen

because it was so
quiet downstairs.

- It was pitch-black up there.

There was absolutely
nothing there.

There was nothing in this attic.

- What's goin' on up there?

[Fingers snapping]

- There was this snapping sound,

like somebody
snapped their fingers.

Just like that three times.

- The sensation of being
watched overcame me.

It was really getting stronger.

- Something was
gonna happen. I knew it.

- You need to come down.

They need to come
down right now.

- I start to panic, and I
yell, "get down, please!"

- I think you guys
better come down.

- They just started
yelling and hollering,

"get down here! You
gotta get down here!"

There was just pandemonium.

- You guys need
to get down here.

- "You got to come
down. Come down now.

There's something going on."

- Guys, you got to come down.
- Please come down.

- The photographer was
literally right behind me,

and I was looking
down into the opening.

- What's going on?

- Seriously, guys,
I'm not joking.

Get down here right away.

- We need to get
out of here, please?

- It was like he was
lifted through the air.

- Guys, you okay?

What's going on up there?

- Are you all right?

- There was no
response from him.

- He was 10, 15 feet
off into the distance.

I could tell he was
not standing upright.

Very odd, you know?

It's like, "why would
he be like that?"

The only source of light I had

was this little flash
on this little camera.

He was completely
off the floor of the attic.

His head was off on
the opposite angle,

because he was up
against the inside of the roof.

There was this completely
blank expression on his face.

Like... and his eyes were
open, but he was not there.

Very vaguely, he said...

- There's something on my neck.

- It was a noose.

There was no way he
could've done this himself.

I mean, there
wasn't enough time.

It had happened just like that.

- Guys, what's
going on up there?

- He's absolutely terrified.

- [Choking]

- What happened?

- He's still got the
thing around his neck,

and his neck is all
swollen, and it's red.

- [Coughing and sputtering]

- He just had no reaction
any of this happened to him,

and it was like it's something

that he didn't even
know happened.

It was like blank in his memory.

- We need to get
out of here now.

We need to go, please!

- At that point, I just wanted
to get out of the house

right then, right there.

- We have to go! Can
you carry him, please?

- That was the last night
I spent in that house.

- To this day, I am mystified
by what happened in the house.

I really truly believe
we were dealing with

some kind of entity.

- I never thought I
would ever experience

something like this, no.

- Quiet, everyone. Shh, shh!

Quiet!

[Footsteps thunking]

- I'm not gonna tell you
that I believe in ghosts now,

but I most definitely
have opened my mind

to the possibility.

- The light.
- The light.
