Latest / Mystery Archives Episodes / The REAL Bill Vaile Story | The Man Who Fought For Survival Against Satan | The Untold Story
Transcript
- 0:00I told this story before in a video called NASA Engineer
- 0:04claims demons attacked him the Bill Vale story After making
- 0:09this video, Bill personally reached out to me and thanked me
- 0:13for sharing his story, but there was some information that needed
- 0:17to be corrected. After lots of back and forth
- 0:21chatting with one another, I can say with great honor that Bill
- 0:25has chosen me to help clear the air and get the most accurate
- 0:29retelling of his harrowing story out to the world.
- 0:33Bill did want to include his reasons for sharing his story in
- 0:36the 1st place, to expose Satan, to offer hope that there is a
- 0:42way out, and to pass on the lessons learned from this, what
- 0:46worked and what did not work. With that being said, he was
- 0:51also generous enough to provide a signed copy of his amazing
- 0:55book, which was the source material for the original video
- 0:59as well as this now more accurate retelling.
- 1:02So please stay tuned till the end of this video for that
- 1:06giveaway opportunity. Now let's begin telling this
- 1:11absolutely incredible tale. After a chance encounter with a
- 1:38strange ritual, Bill would find himself plagued by a merciless
- 1:43evil, one that threatened to ruin his very existence.
- 1:49Yet he was just as haunted by a burning desire to know the truth
- 1:55about what was tormenting him. First things first, in the
- 2:00original video, I referenced that Bill was a NASA scientist.
- 2:05However, this isn't totally true.
- 2:08He was, however, an operations quality manager for a NASA
- 2:12subcontractor. So although there was
- 2:15misinformation repeated over many mediums, this is what he
- 2:19truly did. So there was a connection, but
- 2:23he did not directly work for NASA.
- 2:26The claim that he worked for NASA was erroneously added to
- 2:30the television show that Bill did, and he's tried to get the
- 2:34truth out since. Bill would find his life taking
- 2:38a sudden turn when he and his wife finalized their divorce in
- 2:422002. Feeling burnt out and needing a
- 2:45fresh start in life, he quit his job in the aerospace industry
- 2:50and moved to his hometown of Arlington, TX to be with his
- 2:55younger brother Bob and reconnect.
- 2:58After many years being burned out from high stress jobs, Bill
- 3:03searched around for something, anything different to do with
- 3:07his life and his time. Before long, he accepted a job
- 3:11at a water purification company, and his brother Bob joined him
- 3:16later so they had the opportunity to work together.
- 3:20During this time, he looked around for a house and found one
- 3:24well within his budget that was a good fit for him, and the deal
- 3:29was made. In fact, the deal was so good
- 3:33that it seemed almost too good to be true.
- 3:36Early during Bill's employment at his new job, his employer had
- 3:41received a call from a client asking for someone to be at her
- 3:44house at exactly 5:00 PM, not a minute before or a minute after.
- 3:52Wanting to prove his competence to his fellow Co workers, Bill
- 3:56accepted the job. He kept a keen eye on his watch
- 4:00as he drove through the suburban streets of Arlington to make
- 4:04sure that he would arrive right on schedule as promised.
- 4:09When he reached his destination outside an ordinary looking
- 4:12home, the first noises he heard were the muffled screams of a
- 4:16woman from inside the house. Raising an eyebrow and feeling
- 4:21that something wasn't quite right and hoping that they would
- 4:25just cancel the appointment altogether, he walked to the
- 4:28front door and knocked at exactly 5:00 PM.
- 4:34At first there didn't appear to be any interruption in the
- 4:37woman's yelling. He couldn't make out much of
- 4:41what she was saying till he heard unmistakably.
- 4:46In the name of Christ, I command you to leave these men.
- 4:51After ringing the doorbell several times with no response,
- 4:56and knowing that the woman was just on the other side of the
- 4:59door continuing her orders, he knocked.
- 5:04Then the door opened and a strange woman stood in the small
- 5:09crack that had been created. She stared at him with a blank
- 5:13expression, as though looking through him.
- 5:17Behind her he could make out the figures of three men on their
- 5:21knees in a darkened room. At that, Bill bolted to his
- 5:26company van as fast as his legs could carry him.
- 5:30He called his employer and told them that he would never take a
- 5:34call from that client again. Although the interaction was
- 5:37strange, Bill simply thought at the time that these three young
- 5:41men had done something terribly wrong and that this was the
- 5:45woman's way of punishing them. Later that night, Bill's heavy
- 5:50bed shook violently for what seemed like several seconds,
- 5:55almost to the point of knocking him off of it.
- 5:58All he could do was be tossed back and forth and hold on as
- 6:03best as he could. Still in awe of what had just
- 6:07happened, Bill set about attempting to see just what had
- 6:10happened and what had caused this.
- 6:13Although wide awake and knowing what had happened was real, he
- 6:18somehow convinced himself that he must have simply been
- 6:21dreaming. So he laid back down and slowly
- 6:25drifted back off into dreamland. The following morning, nothing
- 6:30else in his house appeared to have been shaken by the quake.
- 6:34The clocks in his room read 3:00 AM, and he wasn't terribly
- 6:38convinced that it was in fact an earthquake that had caused the
- 6:42disturbance in the first place. Later that day, you would search
- 6:46to see if an earthquake had in fact been recorded the previous
- 6:50night, but no such quake had happened.
- 6:56After this incident, dove birds would begin gathering in the
- 6:59trees outside of his home, so much so that the realtor who
- 7:05sold him the House was baffled, Quoting Bill here I was on the
- 7:11phone with the real estate agent when the trees in my yard became
- 7:14full of doves. There were hundreds of them, and
- 7:19they were so loud that I could not hear the conversation.
- 7:22I had to call the agent back later.
- 7:25This was within a day or so of me moving in, and then it never
- 7:29happened again. Strange, no doubt, but only the
- 7:34mere beginning of many strange things to come.
- 7:38Bill started to notice the pervasive and almost smothering
- 7:41smell of bacon in his home, as if someone were constantly
- 7:46cooking an entire package on his stove.
- 7:50Other odors began filling his home at random times as well,
- 7:54from the pervasive scent of ozone to perfume and more
- 8:00intense odors like those of sulfur and feces.
- 8:06The atmosphere from here would grow ever darker each time Bill
- 8:11seemed to cross the threshold into his home.
- 8:14Day after day, the feeling of his house grew more heavy and
- 8:19foreboding, with a strong feeling of doom and evil.
- 8:25Mysterious areas of cold temperatures in the House became
- 8:28normal, and although Bill would try his best to find an
- 8:32explanation, that it was caused by the AC or poor insulation or
- 8:38a draft. Obviously, being a smart guy,
- 8:42I'm glad Bill took so many steps to debunk things, but some
- 8:46manifestations are just not explainable, as we'll continue
- 8:51to see. At night, he'd experienced
- 8:54things that would only get darker and more sinister.
- 8:59He would wake in the early morning hours to the sensation
- 9:03of a small creature like that of a cat or a dog running across
- 9:08his feet, but his dogs were kenneled at night.
- 9:13They would also growl and even bark at seemingly nothing in
- 9:18different areas of the house. I did also want to note that I
- 9:22had previously mentioned the various smells that would invade
- 9:25Bill's home, one of them being that of fecal matter.
- 9:30This did not occur because of any animals that Bill owned.
- 9:34The activity would continue, however would be so slight as to
- 9:39be easily ignored. Or even if it couldn't be
- 9:43ignored, Bill would simply accept that even if he did not
- 9:46know of a logical explanation, it was out there somewhere.
- 9:51The watershed moment for Bill came when he sat down to watch
- 9:55TV one evening. Suddenly, he watched as a water
- 9:59bottle that had been sitting on his kitchen counter from the
- 10:02night before flew across the room and bounced off the wall
- 10:07next to his head. It was at this point that Bill,
- 10:12and all of his logic and intelligence and experience had
- 10:17to finally admit that he was dealing with something that fell
- 10:22under the realm of the paranormal, for he had no other
- 10:26explanation, no other reasoning that would make sense of the
- 10:31months of unseen forces toying with him.
- 10:34At this final acceptance that this was in fact something
- 10:38supernatural, the phenomena began to kick into a much higher
- 10:43gear, and the phenomena deepened beyond just sights and affected
- 10:49Bill's surroundings. Bill began to hear as he
- 10:53describes evil hissing sounds and these would wake him up and
- 10:59would be accompanied by awful scratches on various parts of
- 11:04his body. Bizarrely, all white colored
- 11:08things within his home began to be turned black.
- 11:12Black stains would appear on the carpets and walls for no
- 11:17apparent reason and with no discernible 'cause as Bill would
- 11:23tell me, it took a lot of effort to scrub these dark spots and I
- 11:28never did truly know why they showed up or what the purpose or
- 11:33message they were supposed to convey other than just trying to
- 11:37unsettle me. Electronic technicians frequent
- 11:41at his house often due to the constant flickering of lights,
- 11:45failure of his computer and television, and many of them
- 11:50stated that they had never seen anything like it and all of
- 11:53their experiences. His phone would call random
- 11:57people in the middle of the night while he slept, always
- 12:01around 3:00 AM in the morning. Bill called his phone company to
- 12:05attempt to find a solution to the problem, and during his
- 12:09phone call with the representative, a strange,
- 12:13aggressive voice could be heard, speaking in a language that
- 12:17neither of them could understand.
- 12:20The representative confirmed that they heard it as well and
- 12:24were baffled as they used a secure line that a third party
- 12:28wouldn't be able to hijack. One night, while calling his
- 12:33friend Michael, who happened to be a sound engineer, the same
- 12:37voice appeared on the phone line.
- 12:40Bill told Michael to hang up and that the voice was evil.
- 12:45Michael had already turned on his recording equipment, which
- 12:49he used to record plenty of podcasts in other auditory
- 12:53material. However, upon reviewing the tape
- 12:57recording, he could only hear Bill speaking on the other end
- 13:00of the line, for which he had no explanation.
- 13:04I've heard of this happening in other cases as well, that
- 13:08demonic forces often manipulate things to unnerve a person and
- 13:12manifest themselves. For example, over the phone.
- 13:17In another video, I told the story of the case of a woman
- 13:21named Julia and psychologist Doctor Richard Gallagher, where
- 13:26the line was secure and yet low. Evil voices invaded the calls
- 13:32between Gallagher and the priest who was involved at that time.
- 13:38Bill, needing more confirmation that other people were seeing
- 13:42what he was seeing, that he wasn't losing his mind, decided
- 13:47to invite his brother over and asked him to stand in his closet
- 13:52with the lights off. Bob stood in his brother's
- 13:55closet with the door closed. He would emerge a little later
- 13:59disgruntled and Bill had asked if he had seen anything and he
- 14:04replied. I think your closet needs to be
- 14:07cleaned out. Bob would later reveal that
- 14:10during his time in the closet, 2 large boxes had fallen behind
- 14:15him and the cord for the overhead light had whipped him
- 14:19in the face as if it was grabbed by an unseen hand.
- 14:24It spooked him enough that he didn't wish to talk about it
- 14:27further. Bill and Bob love to golf as it
- 14:31was one of the few times that they would get to come together
- 14:35and unwind and catch up on what was going on in each other's
- 14:38lives. One day, the trunk to Bob's car
- 14:42slammed shut while they were attempting to retrieve their
- 14:45golf clubs. They were unable to recreate the
- 14:49same occurrence on their own, as the trunk required some effort
- 14:53to close and there was no wind to speak of on that day.
- 14:58At one point when Bob was at Bill's house in his den, sitting
- 15:02at his bar while writing down information for appointments, he
- 15:07began to hear something rustling around in the trash can out of
- 15:11his sight. He ignored it for a time, but
- 15:15soon thought that possibly Bill's dogs were getting into
- 15:18the trash, so he stood up and walked over to inspect it.
- 15:24However, not only was the trash can untouched, but he also had
- 15:29to pass the dogs we're still in their kennels in order to
- 15:34inspect it. On another occasion, he briefly
- 15:38used Bill's house as a pit stop on the way to an appointment and
- 15:42after using the restroom, Bob noticed that the sway light
- 15:46hanging from the ceiling was moving back and forth quite
- 15:51erratically. He assumed it must have been an
- 15:54AC unit making it move. It was only later, when asking
- 15:58Bill about it, that he learned that in fact, there was no AC
- 16:03unit anywhere near that light. When Bob and his wife were at
- 16:07Bill's house for dinner, Bill watched the television and saw
- 16:12something move out of the corner of his eyes.
- 16:15He stood up immediately, wanting to make sure that he wasn't the
- 16:19only one seeing whatever this thing was.
- 16:23He quickly had Bob sit down and watch the TV to see if he
- 16:27noticed anything out of the corner of his eyes as well.
- 16:30Soon a look of shock came over Bob's face as he saw something
- 16:36move in and out of his closet. When Bob's wife sat down, she
- 16:41gasped after a moment as well. And then all three began to
- 16:45sketch what they had seen. And all of them drew the same
- 16:50thing. Small 2 to 3 foot tall beings
- 16:55that looked like Imps. For those unaware, Imps are
- 17:01demons from European folklore and myth that are depicted as
- 17:06small, mischievous and goblin like and were the familiar
- 17:12spirits of witches or even the devil's personal attendance.
- 17:17After this, Bill told them everything he had been
- 17:20experiencing and Bob offered to let him stay over, to get away
- 17:24from it all, everything that was tormenting him, but he declined.
- 17:30His reasoning was that he felt that if he left, it would be
- 17:35like running away and letting whatever was attacking him win
- 17:40the battle. Following this, his bedroom
- 17:43became a constant source of torment as the bed would shake
- 17:48sometimes violently and other times only just enough to keep
- 17:54him awake. Small hands would depress his
- 17:58mattress and hit him from underneath.
- 18:02He would feel invisible beings slide into bed next to him and
- 18:06often heard loud knocks, bangs and scratches from inside the
- 18:12walls. He would receive scratches and
- 18:16bruises without explanation. He then began to see the
- 18:20apparition of a ghost cat and strange cold mists in his house.
- 18:27The home at this point was a place full of an abyssal,
- 18:31foreboding presence. Bill desperately wanted all of
- 18:35this to stop, to reclaim his home and his life.
- 18:41He began to research the occult, the paranormal, in anything and
- 18:47everything online and in literature that could give him a
- 18:51better understanding of what he was dealing with and possibly
- 18:55how to remedy it. I can relate heavily with this,
- 19:00although I'm very fortunate that my main experiences, as I told
- 19:04them in the Willow Street Nightmare and the Cedric Horror,
- 19:08also known as my personal experiences, took place when I
- 19:12was a child. It has led me down the path of a
- 19:15lifelong fascination with the paranormal and the demonic.
- 19:20I think for me anyways, and perhaps Bill as well, that it's
- 19:25part of not only trying to find a solution in the active
- 19:29situation but to later cope with just what we had experienced.
- 19:36The activity was also starting to take a toll on Bill's health.
- 19:40He found himself sick often and taking trips to the hospital
- 19:45much more than he used to. Part of these new ailments
- 19:49included the searing and horrendous pain of cluster
- 19:54headaches, as Bill would tell me in our conversations.
- 19:58Watch a YouTube video on them to get an idea of just how bad they
- 20:02are. They call them unaliving
- 20:04headaches because they are so severe that people have unalived
- 20:10to end the pain. Cody.
- 20:12I would have tried anything to resolve them at that time.
- 20:16It is said that cluster headaches are the worst pain a
- 20:19person can have and trust me. They are correct in continued
- 20:25efforts to defeat the evil forces he now was battling day
- 20:29in and day out, Bill decided to call paranormal investigators
- 20:35teams of people who brought state-of-the-art equipment to
- 20:39answer the question of if the supernatural existed and if
- 20:45there is life after death. He went through many teams, none
- 20:51of which seemed to be very scientific according to Bill.
- 20:55That is until he found the team known as Did you see That or
- 21:00DYST, Which to Bill had the right kind of logical and
- 21:05rational mindset to properly investigate the beings that
- 21:10infested his life. He found their number and dialed
- 21:14it right away. From here, Bill's life would
- 21:19only continue to go down a rabbit hole he never would have
- 21:23found himself going down otherwise.
- 21:26It was a Saturday night when Bill heard a knock at his door.
- 21:30For some time now, he had been inviting groups of strangers
- 21:34into his home to investigate the happenings in his house.
- 21:39He had seen many come and go, usually only for a night, and
- 21:44none of them had truly been able to help.
- 21:47When he opened the door this time, there was only one man
- 21:50standing there to greet him, and his name was Brian Hall, the
- 21:55founder of Dyst, a paranormal team that claimed that they did
- 22:01not search for ghosts, they searched for answers.
- 22:06Brian founded DYST in 2005 with his friends in the Dallas Fort
- 22:11Worth area in Texas. They performed investigations
- 22:15and posted their findings on Myspace, began to receive emails
- 22:20and calls from people wanting their aid and expertise in the
- 22:24paranormal. Part of the group's procedure
- 22:28was to begin with a single member of the team giving an
- 22:31assessment of the location before bringing in the rest of
- 22:34the team or any equipment. Brian quickly noted the
- 22:39oppressive atmosphere in the house, and once he had made his
- 22:42rounds, he gave the OK for the rest of his team to begin the
- 22:47second phase. The team was full of various
- 22:51experts in their fields, with a critical eye for anything that
- 22:55could possibly cause noises or strange phenomena in an ordinary
- 23:00house. They searched the house from top
- 23:03to bottom, and once they were satisfied that they had
- 23:07identified any possible areas of false evidence, they went
- 23:11outside and returned with their equipment.
- 23:15They set up a command post in the living room with cameras and
- 23:19audio recorders throughout the house, trying to pick up
- 23:23anything that could be lurking within its depths.
- 23:28That night, however, was relatively uneventful.
- 23:33As we also know from studying many cases here on the channel,
- 23:37these things, the paranormal, can't always be invoked or
- 23:42replicated to study because of the pure sporadic nature of it
- 23:47all. After the team had departed with
- 23:50little to go on, Bill called his mother to tell her how the
- 23:53investigation went. During the call, Bill heard
- 23:58three distinct knocks, as if the House was declaring its own
- 24:02malevolent victory. Unlike the previous
- 24:06investigators, DYST would eventually return over the
- 24:11course of the next several months to continually probe the
- 24:15home for its dark and sinister secrets.
- 24:19A variety of activity began to reveal itself to the members of
- 24:26the research team. Shadow people, Imps, and even
- 24:32the disembodied apparition of a ghost like cat were experienced
- 24:37by the crew just as Bill had been experiencing.
- 24:42On one occasion, the team brought in lasers for a
- 24:46particular experiment. The tech was designed to cast a
- 24:50laser grid in the darkened room. This technique is intended to
- 24:55detect even the slightest movement that might be invisible
- 24:59to the naked eye. The first night came and went
- 25:04with nothing of note. The second was much like the
- 25:08first. But on the third night where the
- 25:11crew used this laser grid, Bill, Brian, and the team sat in the
- 25:18command center and they all heard a loud crash from Bill's
- 25:22bedroom. Upon inspecting the bedroom,
- 25:26they found the laser device on the floor.
- 25:30The device had been thrown by a powerful and unseen force.
- 25:36It had been flung so hard that it had struck the bed, bounced
- 25:40off and collided with the dresser where it had been
- 25:45fastened before hitting the floor.
- 25:48They first checked the cameras only to find their batteries
- 25:52drained of all power. This was a common occurrence
- 25:55during their investigations at the house, and it was a
- 25:59pervasive obstacle to finding any visual evidence.
- 26:04The team noted times when they could audibly hear the moment
- 26:08when their cameras were switched off by something that they
- 26:11couldn't see. Luckily, they found that the
- 26:15audio recording devices were still functioning and the
- 26:19phenomena occurred. When they played back the audio,
- 26:23they not only heard the loud crash, but something else
- 26:27entirely. They heard a disembodied voice
- 26:30say he's coming put it back on just before the laser crashed to
- 26:36the floor. Bill was amazing enough to not
- 26:40only provide all the footage I've used for the lasers, but
- 26:44the actual EVP as well, which I'll play for you now.
- 27:14Despite the lack of visual evidence, Ryan was determined to
- 27:18catch the phenomena on video. The next time they arrived at
- 27:22the house, they brought even more cameras and laser grids.
- 27:27They set up the equipment as before and let the newest
- 27:30teammate, Sean, lay in the bed in the master bedroom and asked.
- 27:37If you're here, can you give me a sign?
- 27:42Within an instant, the laser moved with a violent force,
- 27:46causing Sean to cry out in surprise.
- 27:50The rest of the team rushed into the bedroom to gather the
- 27:53equipment and to assess the evidence.
- 27:57All but one camera had been completely drained of power.
- 28:03This device had been pointing directly at the laser.
- 28:08The footage caught not only the laser being shoved, but a
- 28:12strange mist that formed around the laser, turning into a
- 28:17violent and aggressive vortex before the activity occurred and
- 28:23finally dissipating after its conclusion.
- 28:27During another investigation, Bill and his brother Bob and his
- 28:31wife Cindy attended. In addition, Bill invited his
- 28:36friend Chuck and his wife Melissa.
- 28:40Chuck Kelly had been long time friends with Bill through
- 28:42golfing. To call him a skeptic of the
- 28:45paranormal would be an understatement.
- 28:49His wife, Melissa, however, was a woman who not only believed in
- 28:53the paranormal, but was sensitive to it in a way that
- 28:57allowed her to see beings that would otherwise be invisible to
- 29:01the naked eye. For a long time, she had refused
- 29:05to ever go near Bill's home. Eventually, Chuck confronted her
- 29:09as to why. She said there's something in
- 29:13that house that's intelligent and evil, something that knows
- 29:18that I know and I'm afraid of what will happen if I go there.
- 29:24There is seldomly experiences that terrify me personally these
- 29:28days, with having studied so many cases and having had a good
- 29:33amount of my own experiences, but the feeling that there is
- 29:37not only something evil, truly evil within a place, but that
- 29:42it's intelligent and that it seeks to intimidate or hurt you.
- 29:48Now when you feel that, you feel it in your core, your very soul,
- 29:55your being, and this is something that will make you
- 29:58truly experience the feeling that we know as fear.
- 30:04As Bill reached out to Chuck, Chuck told his wife that she
- 30:08needed to speak with him because he needed her help.
- 30:12When she met with Bill, he revealed everything that had
- 30:15been happening and despite knowing the danger of the entity
- 30:18in his home, Melissa was moved by Bill's plight and agreed to
- 30:23attend the next investigation with Chuck.
- 30:27The day of, she felt apprehension.
- 30:31She sensed that the entity was furious at her coming and wanted
- 30:35to harm her. Her mind's eye saw a beast like
- 30:39that of an ape throwing itself against the walls and windows of
- 30:44the house, daring her to come inside.
- 30:48So with a deep breath, she did. Upon entering and being greeted
- 30:54by Bill, she saw several small and hideous creatures gathered
- 30:58at his feet. When they stood on two legs,
- 31:03they looked like hunched over little men and went on all
- 31:06fours. They looked similar to cats but
- 31:10with the hind legs that were thick like those of a kangaroo.
- 31:16Seeing that no one else noticed these beings, she ignored them
- 31:20as best as she could. As she continued her journey
- 31:23throughout the home and she got to Bill's bedroom.
- 31:27She saw that the Imps were at their most comfortable in his
- 31:30room and played across the furniture and the floor.
- 31:35Halfway into the room, she froze.
- 31:40She searched every corner of the room, wide eyed with her hair
- 31:44standing on end. She sensed something horrible
- 31:48and smart lurking out of her sight in a corner of the room or
- 31:54in the closet. She didn't want to know what it
- 31:58was. She left the bedroom and refused
- 32:01to ever set foot in. And again.
- 32:04When the DYST team arrived, they sat in the living room to wait
- 32:08while the team set up their equipment.
- 32:11Then she observed as the small creatures gathered around her in
- 32:15a group of six. They were curious like wild
- 32:20animals, sniffing her and testing their boundaries while
- 32:25not letting her get too close. She believed they were trapped
- 32:29by the dark entity who used them for more mischievous activities,
- 32:35such as tormenting Bill in his bedroom.
- 32:39Noises and subtle happenings. Chiming in once again here.
- 32:45I've come across many cases where this seems to be the case.
- 32:49Not necessarily the trapping of demons by other demons for the
- 32:53stronger one's deeds, but rather a dark spirit or demon holding
- 32:59other spirits captive to invigorate or empower
- 33:03themselves. I just find it interesting that
- 33:06this is yet another case that we can add to that list.
- 33:10While pondering this, she heard a commotion from the bedroom
- 33:14where the team was setting up. She saw a large black shape leap
- 33:18from that direction and onto the chandelier, causing it to nearly
- 33:23swing and collide with the ceiling.
- 33:27It jumped down into a corner to hide from the investigative team
- 33:31before lunging onto the chandelier again and then
- 33:35bouncing into the opposite hallway.
- 33:38The large black shape took up the entire hallway entrance
- 33:42before it disappeared. Unsure of how to process what
- 33:46she had witnessed, she collapsed into her chair.
- 33:50The DYST team convinced her husband, Chuck, to sit in the
- 33:54closet in Bill's bedroom. He had utter confidence that
- 33:58nothing would happen. The lights were turned off and
- 34:02Chuck just sat and waited. After several minutes, he became
- 34:08impatient and spoke loudly at whatever they told him was
- 34:12supposed to be there, attempting to provoke whatever it was.
- 34:16For a few minutes, nothing changed, but eventually Chuck
- 34:21felt the atmosphere change, become heavy and oppressive.
- 34:27He heard hangers begin to clink together around him.
- 34:31The team saw Chuck emerge with wide eyes and a face as wide as
- 34:35a ghost, and all he could say was there's something in that
- 34:39closet. Neither he nor Melissa stayed
- 34:44long after this occurred. Brian Hall, after thorough
- 34:49investigations, enlisted the help of any experts he could to
- 34:53try and help Bill. Reiki Masters, Wiccans,
- 34:59Buddhists, Occultists, anyone and everyone who could attempt
- 35:04to drive out these entities, but sadly none of them worked.
- 35:10Bill became used to the look of defeat upon the faces of the
- 35:13people who had earnestly tried to help him, but ultimately
- 35:17accomplished nothing. Eventually, when Brian reached
- 35:22the end of his ideas, he sent a single e-mail to Bill.
- 35:27It was straightforward and to the point.
- 35:30You need a priest. Throughout the trials that Bill
- 35:35was forced to face, he found himself struggling with
- 35:39borderline PTSD. He was constantly in a state of
- 35:44hyper vigilance, looking over his shoulder and watching his
- 35:49peripheral vision for even the slightest sign of something
- 35:53supernatural. He was dealing with an opponent
- 35:56that he couldn't see, but one which could see him and even
- 36:01attack him at a moment's notice. The suspense kept him from
- 36:06sleeping, and he met each evening with dread.
- 36:10He could no longer distinguish his nightmares from reality.
- 36:15He had a habit of laying down and closing his eyes for a few
- 36:18seconds and opening them up again to search for anything
- 36:23that had gone amiss. The fatigue would take its toll
- 36:29and he would often nap in the daytime to offset the sheer
- 36:32exhaustion that he was experiencing on a daily basis.
- 36:38The months turned to years, and the activity inflicted a cost
- 36:42upon Bill's health. He had two bouts of pneumonia, 2
- 36:47heart attacks requiring stints, and would continue to suffer
- 36:52from cluster headaches, which Bill had never had prior.
- 36:56He only wanted the constant torment to end.
- 37:00Yet he hit his turmoil quite well, became good at pretending
- 37:05that things were better than they really were, putting up a
- 37:09front of normalcy despite the reality of his situation.
- 37:15I feel like this is the only way that someone could continue to
- 37:18live through something this bad. It also affected those who
- 37:22visited Bill's home to the point that few stopped by, effectively
- 37:27isolating him. These entities, their goals are
- 37:31often to get you isolated and by yourself so they can continue to
- 37:36torment you and feed upon your fear and negative emotions.
- 37:43At night he would hear loud crashes inches away from his
- 37:46head. He'd awakened to find scratches
- 37:49all over his body and always in threes.
- 37:53He'd get touched while laying in his bed and hid, shoved and
- 37:58would even feel the sensation as if he was being electrocuted.
- 38:03He looked around his room one night wondering what was in the
- 38:06room with him as he always did, when suddenly the covers were
- 38:11torn off of his body. He sat up in bed and saw a large
- 38:17black shape at the foot board looming over him.
- 38:21It stood 6 feet tall with the body of a man.
- 38:25The man was wearing a trench coat and a fedora.
- 38:29All dark is the abyss. When Bill noticed it, it moved
- 38:34towards him, or rather it floated.
- 38:38He felt an experience that went far beyond mere fear or dread.
- 38:44He described it as the sensation of pure evil.
- 38:49The shadow would travel the length of the bed, getting
- 38:53within 2 feet of Bill's face, and then would vanish.
- 38:59During the investigations, they had taped a dark mass in the
- 39:03very location this entity had disappeared.
- 39:07It dropped from the ceiling, making an audible thud on the
- 39:10floor, would then dart rapidly across the room, rising above
- 39:16the bedroom window and ultimately dissipating.
- 39:20Bill was so disturbed by this new thread that he did not and
- 39:25could not speak about it, even to friends.
- 39:29However, Bill was not the only person.
- 39:31This entity he referred to as the Hat Man revealed itself to.
- 39:37A friend of Bill's, a woman named Devin claimed to have seen
- 39:41this entity and believed it was friendly and as a result, was
- 39:47not afraid of it. After apologizing for not
- 39:50warning her and showing Devin of the other examples of this same
- 39:54Hat Man entity appearing to others on the Internet, he
- 39:58cautioned her that if she sees it again to not communicate with
- 40:03it. It is not a friend, and
- 40:07unfortunately, Devon would not take his advice.
- 40:12Hat Man would continue to appear to Devon, and at one point Devon
- 40:16described it appearing in Bill's closet with glowing red eyes,
- 40:22uttering in a deep growling voice that felt like it was
- 40:27scratching the interior of her skull.
- 40:31Kill Bill, My God, what a terrifying description, A voice
- 40:40so low and grating that it felt as if it was scratching the
- 40:43interior of a person's skull. Devin began to change after this
- 40:48event. She transitioned from frightened
- 40:51to angry and finally to violent frenzy.
- 40:56Bill would often come home to find his house torn apart.
- 41:00He would later learn that the hat man had appeared many more
- 41:04times to Devin. It wasn't until Devin threatened
- 41:08Bill with a large kitchen knife in her hand that he began to see
- 41:12just how serious the situation had become.
- 41:16On one evening after Devin had a tantrum of throwing and breaking
- 41:21things, Devin insisted to Bill. He's here and he wants you dead.
- 41:29Bill replied with it cannot kill me.
- 41:32Trying to keep calm, Devin responded with Turn out the
- 41:37lights, you'll see. With a malevolent grin on her
- 41:41face, Bill was unsure whether he had lost his fear, no longer
- 41:47cared, or simply wanted to shake Devin out of the throes of this
- 41:51evil. Regardless, he shut off the
- 41:54lights. Although nothing happened and
- 41:58Bill proved that the hat man had no authority over him, Devon's
- 42:02personality only grew more aggressive.
- 42:06Eventually, neither Bill nor the police, who are often seen at
- 42:10his home, could resolve the issue, and their friendship came
- 42:15to a sudden and terrible conclusion.
- 42:18Bill believed that this hat man was the general, the main source
- 42:22of evil around which all the other activity orbited, perhaps
- 42:27the main entity that had trapped the others and was calling the
- 42:30shots, so to speak. Bill began to learn from his
- 42:34experiences, accepting that he was in a war with an unseen foe
- 42:39that had tactics and strategy. They utilize scare tactics and
- 42:45fear to wear him down in a war of attrition, but he was quickly
- 42:49becoming a more worthy adversary against their assaults.
- 42:55Bill returned from a meeting and decided to lay down for a nap.
- 42:59He saw indentions like hands and feet in his mattress so much
- 43:04that it became impossible to sleep.
- 43:07Then a massive crash shook the entire house, as if something
- 43:12large had hit the side of his home.
- 43:15He shot up and inspected, looking for damage, but would
- 43:20find nothing. A second crash filled his house.
- 43:25He searched everywhere for any sign of destruction.
- 43:28His kitchen, his den, his office.
- 43:33But the same nothingness presented itself to him.
- 43:35He heard his car alarm go off and he finally stopped in his
- 43:41tracks. He felt pure white hot rage
- 43:45build up within him. He screamed.
- 43:49I've had enough. You don't scare me anymore.
- 43:53I'm not the same person you picked on years ago.
- 43:58Show yourself and fight me. One of us is going to hell
- 44:02tonight and it won't be me. This is God's house now leave
- 44:08this place. He heard another crash and ran
- 44:13towards it, continuing to yell at the entity.
- 44:16Show itself. Hell was unleashed inside of his
- 44:19home like a hurricane. Crashes and booms filled the
- 44:24air. Suddenly, the missing puzzle
- 44:27piece clicked. He knew that no amount of anger,
- 44:31desperation, or earthly knowledge would save him from
- 44:34this evil. So he called upon Christ to
- 44:37intercede. He screamed.
- 44:40You were not invited. Under the authority of Christ, I
- 44:45demand you leave or be bound by your worst fears until final
- 44:50judgement. He repeated these words at each
- 44:54new crashing sound. Eventually, 30 minutes of
- 44:59unrestrained malice ceased and a new piece finally filled his
- 45:04home. My God, the courage and overall
- 45:09fearlessness of Bill in this moment is truly commendable.
- 45:13I mean, just imagine putting up with these horrible things day
- 45:16in and day out and holding out for so long.
- 45:21Although terrifying no doubt to have gone through, I'm glad that
- 45:25there was some sort of confrontation between Bill and
- 45:29whatever this entity we know is the Hat Man, because I
- 45:32definitely feel like it needed to happen.
- 45:35The days afterwards, Bill felt a new sensation amidst the peace,
- 45:41like that of a chained up rabid dog in the distance, just
- 45:45watching and waiting for a chance to break free and back
- 45:51into his life. While occasionally things would
- 45:54happen afterwards though no longer felt like evil dwelt
- 45:59within his home or his life. However, the encounters left
- 46:04scars both psychological and physical.
- 46:10Bill still struggled with looking over his shoulder and
- 46:13being comfortable sleeping at night.
- 46:16His health effects from the ordeal also never truly
- 46:19improved. Whether it was from the evil
- 46:22presence or simply the stress of the events, we would never be
- 46:26sure. Although in our conversations,
- 46:30thankfully Bill said he did Vanquish the cluster headaches,
- 46:34which he believes or a byproduct of the otherworldly
- 46:38interactions. In the years since, Bill has
- 46:42studied and become an expert in demonology.
- 46:46In order to help others fight against an unseen foe in their
- 46:49own lives, he founded an association called the United
- 46:54Paranormal International. Bill's story has been featured
- 46:57on the show Paranormal Witness in 2013, and abridged versions
- 47:01of the events have been featured across the Internet and YouTube.
- 47:05Again, in our conversations, Bill would tell me that he had
- 47:09to be talked into telling his story on the show Paranormal
- 47:11Witness by their producers. He's truly a man that values his
- 47:15privacy, I can tell you that for sure, but that he became
- 47:19convinced that his telling of his experiences would
- 47:23ultimately, hopefully have a positive impact on people who
- 47:28could be experiencing something similar.
- 47:30Bill has given multiple interviews on various podcasts
- 47:34but decided to set the record straight in his 2022 book
- 47:38Satanic Warfare Tactics of the Demonic.
- 47:42In it, he gives his own account as well as the eyewitnesses in
- 47:46his life of the events that transpired.
- 47:50He also includes extensive entries over just what he
- 47:54learned concerning the demonic forces that stalked him.
- 47:57But he cautions anyone attempting to utilize his
- 48:00methods. They are the collections of his
- 48:03experiences. Personal beliefs and convictions
- 48:09cannot be considered scientific. They are also not guaranteed any
- 48:13degree to be successful. He says that spiritual warfare
- 48:18is a form of psychological warfare utilizing fear tactics
- 48:23to wear a target down over time so that we give up spiritually
- 48:28and obey evil's power. It is based on negative emotions
- 48:33such as fear, stress, anger, and social disunity.
- 48:39As a victim grows weaker, the demons begin to appear stronger.
- 48:44The first line of defense is to have No Fear against demons.
- 48:48He states that as fallen angels, demons still have rules that
- 48:52they must follow. They only enter our lives to the
- 48:56degree which we explicitly or implicitly allow.
- 49:01They are not all powerful, for if they were, they would not be
- 49:05forced to resort to scare tactics and trickery to wear
- 49:10down their opponent. However, they have the
- 49:14experience of the entirety of human history on their side when
- 49:18they wage war upon human souls. Once you acknowledge that there
- 49:24is in fact a demonic presence, the only recourse you have is
- 49:28that you must call upon the name of Christ.
- 49:33Bill has since retired and moved out of the house within which he
- 49:37suffered for so many years. He now lives with his wife,
- 49:41Carolyn Vale and his stepson Ryan.
- 49:45In Arkansas and Bill's story we have seen how curiosity can be
- 49:50used as a doorway. A doorway that can lead to
- 49:53knowledge and understanding. However, curiosity can be used
- 49:59as another kind of doorway, one that once opened can unleash an
- 50:04abhorrent darkness into our lives.
- 50:08One that is not always so easily cast out.
- 50:15I would not only like to thank Bill for being amazing and
- 50:18providing the clarifying details, the evidence, and
- 50:22overall just for being so down to earth and patient with me to
