You Shouldn’t Watch This Alone… 2 Hours of True Paranormal Horror · Mystery Archives Episodes

• 0:11
  Mere days after the Lee family had settled into their new abode
• 0:16
  nestled amongst the Pines, they are confronted with paranormal
• 0:21
  happenings. Initially, the disturbances seem
• 0:25
  harmless, as the couple's two young sons began to voice
• 0:30
  concerns about peculiar lights flickering in their rooms and
• 0:35
  eerie shadows dancing across the walls.
• 0:39
  But the situation takes an ominous turn when Steve and Beth
• 0:43
  themselves bear witness to disturbing and terrifying
• 0:48
  events. This is the untold story of the
• 0:53
  haunted House of the Black Forest in Colorado.
• 1:12
  There's an undeniable, almost supernatural call to the eerie
• 1:17
  and the unexplained that seems to emanate from the depths of
• 1:22
  dense Woodlands. The Black Forest, a vast expanse
• 1:28
  of towering trees and shadowy undergrowth, has been a breeding
• 1:33
  ground for creepy tales of the otherworldly.
• 1:38
  Amidst this foreboding landscape lies a dilapidated house.
• 1:43
  It's weathered walls and creaking floorboards, harboring
• 1:47
  secrets that have captured the imagination of paranormal
• 1:52
  enthusiasts across the nation. This isolated dwelling nestled
• 1:59
  deep within the Colorado wilderness has earned A
• 2:03
  reputation as one of the most haunted sites in the United
• 2:07
  States. It's very existence A testament
• 2:12
  to the enduring power of mystery and the unknown.
• 2:18
  The region referred to as the Black Forest is an
• 2:21
  unincorporated area situated in El Paso County, Colorado,
• 2:27
  nestled near the city of Colorado Springs.
• 2:31
  This area was traditionally known as the Pineries, a vast
• 2:35
  expanse spanning over 1000 miles, aptly named for the dense
• 2:42
  concentration of majestic ponderosa pine trees that
• 2:47
  blanketed the landscape. The Black Forest's remote and
• 2:51
  secluded nature, coupled with its towering evergreens and
• 2:56
  rugged wilderness, has long captivated those seeking
• 3:00
  solitude and a connection with the untamed beauty of nature.
• 3:06
  The secluded log cabin, nestled deep within the Black Forest
• 3:10
  region of Colorado, seemed like a tranquil Oasis for the Lee
• 3:14
  family when they first laid eyes on it in 1991.
• 3:20
  Stephen and Beth, along with their two sons, had relocated
• 3:24
  from Louisiana, seeking A serene escape amidst the towering Pines
• 3:30
  and pristine wilderness. The sparsely populated area,
• 3:34
  known for its slow paced lifestyle, crisp air, and
• 3:38
  breathtaking vistas, promised a dream home surrounded by
• 3:43
  untouched nature. Little did they know that this
• 3:47
  idyllic retreat would soon become a source of inexplicable
• 3:51
  occurrences and unsettling experiences that would forever
• 3:57
  alter their perception of the supernatural.
• 4:01
  About the Lee's. Steven Lee, a father, husband
• 4:06
  and truck driver had done well for his family and wanting a
• 4:12
  change of scenery they found what they believed to be their
• 4:16
  dream home, A6000 square foot three story cabin located within
• 4:24
  the Black Forest situated on five acres of land.
• 4:29
  Steven and his wife Beth, with every step as they surveyed the
• 4:34
  property could envision their two young sons playing and
• 4:39
  growing up there, their own little piece of the American
• 4:43
  dream. So it took a little bit of time,
• 4:48
  but their offer on the home was ultimately accepted and within
• 4:53
  the coming months, they would soon call this secluded place
• 4:57
  home. However, they would fail to
• 5:00
  realize that it wasn't just inhabited by the family of four.
• 5:06
  The first week at their new residence seemed like something
• 5:10
  out of a fairy tale. Mom, dad, and the kids were all
• 5:16
  comfortable and very happy after making the long trek from
• 5:20
  Louisiana to Colorado. The family themselves seemed
• 5:25
  happy and content with their decision.
• 5:29
  However, this would change. The Lee's two young sons shared
• 5:36
  a room, as brothers often do at a young age, and roughly after
• 5:41
  their first week, they began to tell their parents that
• 5:45
  something strange was happening in their bedroom.
• 5:49
  Bright, colorful lights flashed about and terrifying shadowy
• 5:55
  spectres float across their walls.
• 5:59
  These strange happenings frightened the boys and often
• 6:02
  kept them awake. So of course, they told their
• 6:06
  parents. However, often in these
• 6:10
  situations they were dismissed. Beth and Steve simply believed
• 6:16
  that the boys had overactive imaginations and figured it
• 6:20
  would just take time for them to adjust their new environment.
• 6:24
  But this too would change mere weeks later.
• 6:29
  Upon coming home from an evening of fun as a family, they would
• 6:34
  arrive to see their home lighting inside with strange
• 6:38
  lightning like flashes of light. They could see the spectacle
• 6:43
  from their driveway. In the words of Beth.
• 6:48
  One day we came home and it was like the 4th of July.
• 6:52
  In our living room and bedroom. We had all sorts of colorful
• 6:57
  flashes of light seemingly everywhere.
• 7:01
  We rushed inside to figure out just what these things were and
• 7:06
  simultaneously it sounded like people were stomping across our
• 7:11
  roof and all of a sudden it stopped.
• 7:16
  Never having seen anything like this before, the Lees were
• 7:20
  simply perplexed and not sure of what to make of this activity.
• 7:26
  They would lay their heads down to sleep this night, but what
• 7:29
  they failed to realize is that this was just a prelude of what
• 7:34
  was to come. In the coming months, the
• 7:38
  activity grew in intensity. What started as phantom lights
• 7:43
  and flickering shadows had escalated into something taking
• 7:48
  place almost every single day. From disembodied banging sounds
• 7:54
  to whispers, the sound of change dragging on the floor or even
• 8:00
  inside the walls to pushing, assaulting and disturbing the
• 8:07
  family. Sadly, the Lee's young sons were
• 8:11
  more often than not the targets of this paranormal force that
• 8:15
  plagued them night after night. And almost every night they were
• 8:21
  harassed by shadow people, the reappearance of the mysterious
• 8:25
  lights, and the awful banging sounds of something unseen.
• 8:32
  The family did their best to make the situation work.
• 8:36
  They, after all, were newly tied up financially in the purchase
• 8:40
  of what they believed was going to be their forever home.
• 8:44
  But it was something big or small nearly every day now that
• 8:48
  was taking place during the day, Appliances began to turn on and
• 8:53
  off on their own accord. This was attributed to an
• 8:57
  electrical issue at first, but after having the home examined
• 9:02
  by multiple electricians, they found no faulty wiring.
• 9:07
  Alongside electrical appliances, faucets began to turn on by
• 9:12
  themselves, often making a wet mess in whatever room they were
• 9:17
  activated in During the night. The re emergence of the lights,
• 9:23
  movement of the shadow people and the sounds truly haunted
• 9:28
  them and these disturbing happenings were soon coupled by
• 9:33
  something new and equally terrible.
• 9:37
  A noxious chemical odor began to appear in the home with no
• 9:42
  rational origin. The smell of these mystery
• 9:46
  chemicals burned the nose, eyes and throats of everyone whenever
• 9:52
  it appeared. In the coming days, yet more
• 9:57
  professionals would be called out, and yet nothing, no origin
• 10:02
  of the chemicals or detection of them either, could be found.
• 10:08
  It seemed that whatever force that dwelled within the walls of
• 10:11
  the cabin home in the woods had a particular hatred for the Lee
• 10:16
  family, and this force soon began to physically hit all of
• 10:21
  them, seemingly whenever it could, often leaving bruises.
• 10:27
  Not a believer in the paranormal, Steve Lee having had
• 10:31
  professionals come out and not provide any rational answers to
• 10:36
  their strange ailments. This, coupled with the now daily
• 10:40
  torment that he and his family were enduring, had finally
• 10:45
  reached his wit's end. He wanted to prove that either
• 10:49
  there was someone or something messing with them, and over the
• 10:54
  coming year he invested in a total of $70,000 worth of camera
• 11:00
  equipment and security equipment to monitor every square inch of
• 11:05
  their home and property. Now you might think that that's
• 11:10
  an incredible amount of money to spend on cameras and alarm
• 11:13
  systems, and it is, but this was the 90's.
• 11:18
  The equipment wasn't as readily available or sophisticated as it
• 11:22
  is today, and it just goes to show that they were truly
• 11:25
  freaked out by whatever was taking place, that they wanted
• 11:30
  some kind of tangible proof that they could show the world so
• 11:34
  people didn't think that they were crazy.
• 11:38
  The cameras, which were mostly motion activated and would
• 11:42
  record when motion was detected, soon began to activate with no
• 11:47
  rational explanation and no physical means to be detected.
• 11:54
  After capturing several strange things on video and photograph,
• 11:59
  Steve decided to contact the local authorities for help.
• 12:03
  Records show that the El Paso police were contacted so often
• 12:07
  by the Lees in the months to come that they launched a formal
• 12:11
  investigation into just what was taking place at the cabin home
• 12:16
  in the Black Forest. During this time and the two
• 12:21
  years to follow, Alongside the cameras, their security
• 12:26
  equipment, which could detect motion enforced entry was
• 12:31
  triggered 62 times with no explanation as to what could be
• 12:36
  causing it. It wasn't faulty equipment or
• 12:40
  poor installation. It was oddly something else,
• 12:45
  something unexplainable. With not even the police able to
• 12:49
  rationalize what was happening to the Lees, Beth and Steve
• 12:53
  decided to take things one step further.
• 12:56
  They hired a private investigator.
• 12:59
  This was in part due to the police also growing tiresome of
• 13:03
  being contacted for assistance and then there being nothing
• 13:07
  that they could do about it. Between the cameras and security
• 13:12
  equipment and now hiring a private investigator, the Lees
• 13:16
  had all but spent the rest of their life savings.
• 13:20
  Most people, if it ever came to this, would simply try and cut
• 13:25
  their losses and sell the home, and we don't know if the lease
• 13:29
  could have sold the home and moved elsewhere, but they truly
• 13:34
  still believed that this massive cabin home was their dream home
• 13:38
  and they didn't want to give it up without a fight.
• 13:42
  Unfortunately though, the private investigator was unable
• 13:46
  to help them. This left the Lees to simply
• 13:49
  tough out anything and everything that they had and
• 13:52
  were continuing to experience. After moving in in 1991, the
• 13:59
  year now was 1995 and the activity had persisted despite
• 14:05
  the efforts of the Lee family to uncover just what was causing
• 14:09
  it. Steve, who still figured there
• 14:13
  had to be a rational explanation for what was taking place, had a
• 14:17
  little bit more of an open mind. After a lengthy discussion with
• 14:21
  Beth, seemingly having done everything else, the Lees
• 14:26
  concluded that they would try and contact paranormal
• 14:29
  investigators to see if they could do anything about the
• 14:32
  otherworldly happenings taking place in their home.
• 14:37
  After some research and calling numerous numbers the Lees ended
• 14:41
  up getting in contact with a person would end up being
• 14:45
  involved with the television show Sightings.
• 14:49
  Sightings was an American paranormal and new show that
• 14:52
  aired throughout the 1990s covering various unexplained and
• 14:58
  French phenomena. As a result of this pretty lucky
• 15:01
  interaction, the show became very interested in producing an
• 15:05
  episode segment about hauntings surrounding the investigation of
• 15:10
  the Lee home. The show would contact a
• 15:13
  paranormal investigator in a self-proclaimed psychic in
• 15:17
  Minneapolis, MN named Echo Bodine from her book The Little
• 15:23
  Book of True Ghost Stories. Echo would explain her
• 15:26
  experience as the following. I got a call from the TV show
• 15:32
  Sightings and they wanted to know if I would fly to Colorado
• 15:36
  Springs to help a family deal with some ghosts.
• 15:40
  The producers told me that the problem was the ghost mostly
• 15:44
  seemed to come out at night. So I was asked to work from
• 15:47
  midnight until the early Daybreak hours.
• 15:51
  It was a very hot day in mid-july When I arrived in
• 15:55
  Denver around 10:00 PM. It was pretty eerie.
• 16:00
  There was intense lightning all throughout the sky and rain
• 16:03
  pouring down. I remember thinking how perfect
• 16:07
  the spooky weather was for investigating hauntings.
• 16:12
  Steve, the owner of the log home, was at the airport to pick
• 16:15
  me up. He was very open about not
• 16:19
  believing in ghosts, and as we drove through several towns in
• 16:23
  Colorado, I listened to him tell me story after story about some
• 16:28
  of the things that had gone on in their house.
• 16:32
  They heard voices, footsteps, things would move from room to
• 16:37
  room. It took close to an hour to get
• 16:40
  up to their house in the mountains and alongside the
• 16:44
  rain, a fog hung about 10 feet off the ground.
• 16:49
  When we arrived and I entered their three story log cabin home
• 16:53
  from here, I was greeted by a producer who asked me if I could
• 16:58
  take a seat while the scientist they had hired told us about his
• 17:02
  thermal camera. Having been tired from the trip.
• 17:07
  I laid my head back while the explanations were continuing and
• 17:11
  suddenly I heard a voice come from behind me.
• 17:16
  It said hey, come here. Upon turning around, I saw a
• 17:22
  large ghostly man about 6 feet tall.
• 17:27
  The specter was wearing blue jeans in a blue checkered
• 17:31
  flannel shirt. I then heard in unison multiple
• 17:34
  voices tell me to look over here and now.
• 17:39
  There was 5 male spirits, all different but dressed the same
• 17:44
  as the first. The original ghost said that his
• 17:48
  name was Tom and that this was his house, that no one was going
• 17:54
  to make him leave. He ran the show around here and
• 17:58
  had for a long time. I told the producer what was
• 18:02
  happening in case he wanted to capture anything for the segment
• 18:07
  and he did. The conversation then ensued
• 18:12
  with Tom explaining why he and the boys wanted to stay in the
• 18:15
  house, that it was his land, his home, and that he would not
• 18:21
  leave. One of the cameramen then asked
• 18:24
  if it was one of them who'd been responsible for knocking over
• 18:28
  his very expensive camera off the countertop.
• 18:32
  All 5 in unison answered yes and then disappeared out of sight.
• 18:39
  The scientist with the thermal camera did in fact capture a
• 18:43
  drop in temperature just a right where Tom had stood around 2:00
• 18:49
  AM in the morning. As me and Beth discussed the
• 18:52
  activity that she had experienced, the dogs the family
• 18:56
  owned would not stop barking outside.
• 19:00
  The producers, in an effort to keep their sounds from being
• 19:04
  picked up on the camera, tried to quiet them down, but simply
• 19:08
  weren't having any luck. Then, upon Beth showing me a
• 19:12
  photo of what they had captured on their own cameras, we
• 19:17
  suddenly were in the midst of three male spirits, one with a
• 19:22
  particularly angry scowl upon his face.
• 19:26
  One of them walked through both of us, causing us to jump out of
• 19:30
  our chairs, while the other angry looking spirit tried to
• 19:36
  take my breath away. I believe he did this to stoke
• 19:40
  fear from me in order to grow more powerful, and this worked
• 19:46
  because I felt as if I was being suffocated.
• 19:49
  By 3:30 AM, we all decided to not focus on ghosts for a bit
• 19:55
  and to try and lighten the mood. We turned the cameras off and
• 19:59
  began eating some food in which Beth had prepared for us.
• 20:04
  But almost as soon as we began to relax, one of the camera
• 20:09
  women who'd been sitting on the stairs began to hyperventilate.
• 20:14
  She then jumped up and screamed get it out of me as she fell
• 20:19
  down the stairs and onto the floor writhing in pain.
• 20:25
  The producers asked for me to do something, so with the
• 20:29
  assistance of others, I helped her up and into a chair in the
• 20:34
  kitchen and I began to burn sage and circling her in the smoke.
• 20:41
  I asked her to say back to me that she was clear until she
• 20:46
  calmed down. It took about 20 minutes, but
• 20:50
  she eventually relaxed. She then was given a ride back
• 20:55
  to the hotel and I never saw or heard from her again.
• 21:00
  By now it was 4:30 AM and we were waiting for the camera crew
• 21:05
  of the show to finish setting up their equipment in the bedrooms
• 21:10
  where the majority of activity was seeming to take place.
• 21:14
  One of Steve's friends, who had been present most of the night,
• 21:18
  came up and handed me a brochure about the history of the local
• 21:22
  area. To my surprise, he told me that
• 21:26
  a man named Tom had been the sheriff here back in the 1800s.
• 21:32
  I felt shivers up my spine as I realized that this was the same
• 21:37
  Tom that now haunted the Lee's home.
• 21:41
  Roughly 5:00 AM, as we set off to investigate the last bedroom,
• 21:46
  I walked into the room and saw there in the rocking chair in
• 21:50
  the corner who would turn out to be Beth's deceased grandmother.
• 21:56
  And on the opposite side of the room was Tom and the several
• 22:01
  male spirits under his control. We ended up burning sage and
• 22:06
  asking them all to move on to the other side.
• 22:10
  They all did leave the building, but I'm not convinced that they
• 22:13
  moved on. At about 6:00 AM, we finally
• 22:18
  finished saging the entire house.
• 22:21
  Exhausted, we packed up our equipment and went back to our
• 22:25
  respective hotels. I've spoken to Steve and Beth
• 22:29
  since and they informed me that activity at the cabin persisted
• 22:34
  shortly after our departure and that although not fully
• 22:37
  convinced, Steve is convinced that there are things in this
• 22:41
  world that we will never truly understand.
• 22:46
  Sightings would do a follow up episode segment years later with
• 22:49
  the Lees where they brought in several spiritualists and an
• 22:54
  expert in hyperdimensional studies and all would come to
• 22:58
  the conclusion that the home was indeed haunted.
• 23:03
  The expert would draw the conclusion that the home sat
• 23:06
  atop an interdimensional vortex and coinciding with his
• 23:11
  conclusion. Interestingly, a Hopi elder from
• 23:15
  the local area would also explain that the Black Forest
• 23:19
  sits on top what the Hopi call a rainbow vortex, a raging storm,
• 23:26
  a portal of sorts that contains great spiritual energy and the
• 23:31
  coming and going of many souls. Sometimes they burn out over
• 23:37
  time and sometimes they don't. They are considered gateways
• 23:42
  between the world of the living and the spirit realm.
• 23:47
  Some strange and noteworthy things that took place during
• 23:50
  the second filming of the show. Sightings at the Lee's residence
• 23:54
  was that a paranormal investigator had asked anyone if
• 23:58
  the name Howard bore any significance to them.
• 24:02
  The Lees were surprised because one of their best friends in
• 24:05
  Colorado Springs was a man named Howard.
• 24:09
  The entity then told the investigator, who relayed the
• 24:12
  information to everyone, that he was Howard's son and that he in
• 24:17
  fact had not killed himself, but rather had been murdered.
• 24:23
  This disturbed the Lees a great deal because Howard's son had
• 24:27
  supposedly taken his own life by consuming deadly chemicals
• 24:33
  working as a chemist. The stories and reputation of
• 24:37
  the home got such a local buzz from the press that even a
• 24:41
  Colorado Senator by the name of Charles Duke visited the home
• 24:46
  with his own camera crew and would snap a few photographic
• 24:49
  pieces of evidence of apparitions.
• 24:53
  To his and everyone else's surprise, Senator Duke was so
• 24:57
  convinced of the Lee's haunting that he even contacted the FBI
• 25:01
  to conduct a formal investigation.
• 25:05
  But the Bureau would rebuttal with no federal laws have been
• 25:09
  broken. Years later, after everything
• 25:13
  had happened, Steve Lee, who still wasn't fully convinced of
• 25:18
  the supernatural, came to his own conclusions as to what was
• 25:22
  taking place. And for the record, it's a wild
• 25:27
  theory. He began to believe that the
• 25:30
  government was using his family and their remote location to
• 25:35
  test biological agents and psychological weapons of war.
• 25:41
  He claims he has even photographed military personnel
• 25:45
  on his property with firearms and claims that they may have
• 25:49
  been shutting off the electricity in this home so they
• 25:53
  could enter undetected. These claims, although far
• 25:57
  fetched, would be incredibly disturbing if true, and it would
• 26:02
  account for the noxious odors the family said they were
• 26:05
  experiencing as well as the lights and some sounds.
• 26:11
  But oddly enough as well, the Air Force Base is located just a
• 26:16
  few minutes away where the Lees live.
• 26:20
  The Lees, as far as we know after placing the home for sale
• 26:24
  in 2010, no longer live there. The current residents are
• 26:29
  unknown, but it seems as if the property has changed hands
• 26:33
  multiple times. Whether it was ghosts, the
• 26:38
  result of what the Hopi call a rainbow vortex, or more
• 26:42
  sinisterly, the result of government military Black Ops,
• 26:48
  The Haunting of Black Forest Colorado is truly an intriguing
• 26:53
  tale. And if you find yourself seduced
• 26:56
  by what you could consider your dream home, take caution because
• 27:02
  this calling might just be a siren sound.

  below. I love all of you guys and thank
• 27:34
  you so much for everything. Until next time, this has been
• 27:39
  Cody here at Mystery Archives. Remember to please stay safe out
• 27:43
  there and take care. There are certain realms of the
• 27:52
  paranormal and unexplained that seem to capture our imagination
• 27:57
  more than others, weaving themselves into legend and
• 28:01
  folklore, yet occasionally emerging as potential realities.
• 28:07
  One such entity that appears to dwell solely in the realm of
• 28:11
  fiction and fantasy is the vampire.
• 28:16
  However, despite the seemingly mythical nature of these
• 28:20
  immortal blood drinking beings, there are instances that Surface
• 28:25
  has purported encounters with these creatures, and one such
• 28:30
  account allegedly occurred in the tranquil English
• 28:33
  countryside. It is a tale that has become a
• 28:36
  curious part of local lore and a historic anomaly still discussed
• 28:42
  to this day. This is the untold story of the
• 28:45
  Crawglin Grange vampire in the idyllic countryside of
• 29:01
  Cumberland, northwest England. This tale began unfolding in
• 29:06
  1875. It was that spring when two
• 29:10
  brothers, Edward and Michael Cranswell, along with their
• 29:14
  sister Amelia, ventured to this region and temporarily took up
• 29:19
  residence in a modest single home stone farmhouse known as
• 29:24
  the Kroglin Grange. Overlooking the picturesque
• 29:28
  valley and nestled near an ancient churchyard, the property
• 29:33
  owned by the Fisher family seemed to draw the siblings in.
• 29:37
  Initially intending a brief stay, the Cranswells found
• 29:41
  themselves captivated by the serene rural life, swiftly
• 29:45
  becoming familiar faces among the locals.
• 29:48
  Their initial plans for a fleeting visit gradually
• 29:52
  dissipated as an inexplicable force seemed to compel them to
• 29:57
  linger. The townspeople, unaware of the
• 30:00
  undercurrents brewing beneath the surface, welcomed the
• 30:04
  siblings with open arms, oblivious to the veil that hid
• 30:09
  their true intentions. That sweltering summer, an
• 30:13
  ominous presence seemed to linger, casting a shadow over
• 30:17
  the quaint farmhouse. As the relentless heat wave
• 30:21
  persisted, Amelia found herself tossing and turning, growing
• 30:26
  more and more uncomfortable with the shutters flung open in a
• 30:30
  desperate attempt to coax in a cooling breeze.
• 30:34
  She lay awake, her gaze fixated on the inky blackness that
• 30:38
  shrouded the trees beyond. It was then that something
• 30:42
  caught her eye, a faint flickering that danced among the
• 30:46
  branches, gradually intensifying as it drew nearer. 2 pen pricks
• 30:53
  of light weaved their way through the darkness, their
• 30:56
  approach sending a chill down Amelia's spine.
• 31:00
  Despite the stifling heat. A sense of foreboding gripped
• 31:05
  her, an inexplicable dread that she could not explain.
• 31:11
  As the eerie lights drew closer, Amelia felt the dread growing
• 31:16
  and enveloping her, a thick and palpable fear that gripped her
• 31:21
  very being. The source of the flickering
• 31:25
  illumination emerged from the shadows behind the window pane,
• 31:30
  revealing a grotesque facade, a hideous brown face with blazing
• 31:37
  eyes that leered menacingly at her.
• 31:41
  Its clawed hands began to scratch at the glass, desperate
• 31:46
  to gain entry, though fortunately, the window remained
• 31:50
  locked. Amelia found herself paralyzed,
• 31:55
  her voice trapped in her throat, unable to utter a sound as she
• 32:00
  trembled in silent terror, transfixed by the monstrous
• 32:05
  entity outside. As the creature's attempts to
• 32:09
  open the window escalated from mere scratches to peeling away
• 32:15
  the lead that sealed the pain's edges.
• 32:19
  Amelia's mind raced with unspeakable horrors, unable to
• 32:24
  comprehend just who or what sought to breach her sanctuary.
• 32:30
  When the window pane shattered onto the floor, the Bony claw
• 32:35
  like hand reached through, deftly unlocking the latch from
• 32:42
  within. Amelia's voice remained trapped,
• 32:46
  still paralyzed as a towering, shadowy figure glided across the
• 32:52
  room. It seized her in its embrace,
• 32:56
  grasping her hair and forcibly yanking her head back, exposing
• 33:02
  her vulnerable throat. Despite her desperate attempts
• 33:06
  to move or cry out, she thus remained petrified, helpless
• 33:12
  against this monster. As the creature bent down, its
• 33:17
  teeth poised to Pierce her flesh, the searing pain finally
• 33:22
  unleashed a piercing scream that echoed throughout the night.
• 33:27
  Jolted awake by their sisters terrified cries, Edward and
• 33:32
  Michael Cranswell sprang into action, rushing towards Amelia's
• 33:37
  room. With a forceful thrust, they
• 33:40
  broke down the door only to witness a chilling sight, that
• 33:45
  shadowy figure swiftly escaping through the shattered window.
• 33:51
  Without hesitation, one of the brothers grabbed a fire poker
• 33:55
  and gave chase, determined to confront the intruder.
• 34:01
  However, the entity moved with an unnatural swiftness, its
• 34:06
  strides unnervingly long and inhuman as it leapt over the
• 34:12
  ancient church wall, disappearing into the Knights
• 34:16
  embrace. The brothers were left
• 34:20
  bewildered and unsettled. Amelia, shaken and bleeding from
• 34:26
  her neck, recounted the harrowing ordeal.
• 34:31
  Initially, she attributed the attack to a deranged individual,
• 34:35
  perhaps an escaped asylum patient, her mind unable to
• 34:40
  comprehend the true nature of the assailant.
• 34:44
  The notion of a vampire, a creature of myth and legend,
• 34:49
  seemed too fantastical to consider.
• 34:53
  Deeply concerned for their sister's well-being, the
• 34:56
  Cranswell brothers decided to whisk Amelia away from the once
• 35:00
  peaceful, now terrifying confines of the Krawgling
• 35:04
  Grange. A long vacation in Switzerland,
• 35:07
  they hoped, would provide her with the respite and recovery
• 35:13
  she desperately needed, allowing her to regain her strength and
• 35:18
  put the traumatic experience behind her.
• 35:22
  As they departed, an air of uncertainty lingered, the sense
• 35:27
  that the tranquil countryside harbored A sinister presence, a
• 35:31
  force that defied rational explanation.
• 35:35
  The events of that night had left more questions than answers
• 35:40
  in their wake. When they returned to Krawglin
• 35:43
  Grange the following autumn, the memory of that traumatic night
• 35:49
  did not leave the family. With time, the siblings were
• 35:53
  determined to confront any sinister force that remained.
• 35:57
  The brothers meticulously arranged their sleeping quarters
• 36:01
  directly across from Amelia's room, ensuring A watchful eye
• 36:06
  over her safety. Pistols were strategically
• 36:10
  placed within reach, just in case the creature did rear its
• 36:14
  head again. Amelia, still bearing the scars
• 36:18
  of the original attack, diligently secured her shutters
• 36:22
  each evening, fortifying her chambers.
• 36:26
  For a time, an eerie calm seemed to settle the countryside abode,
• 36:32
  lulling them into a false sense of security.
• 36:36
  The winter months passed without incident, however, as the first
• 36:42
  blossoms of spring unfurled the familiar cold wind Harold the
• 36:48
  soon return of the creature. One evening Amelia's slumber was
• 36:55
  once again disrupted by the hauntingly familiar sound, a
• 37:00
  scratching and tapping against her window, now fortified with
• 37:06
  shutters to shield her from the horrific visage that lurked
• 37:10
  beyond. Bracing herself for the worst
• 37:14
  yet clinging to the hope that it was merely an animal's doing,
• 37:18
  she mustered the courage to peer through the narrow gap at the
• 37:21
  top of the pane, left uncovered by the shutters protective
• 37:26
  barrier. There, hunched menacingly at her
• 37:30
  window, was the same wretched creature she had encountered
• 37:35
  before it, shriveled, grotesque appearance and burning amber
• 37:41
  like eyes glaring. This time Amelia's voice did not
• 37:46
  fail her, and she screamed as loud as she could, a desperate
• 37:51
  cry that jolted her brothers into immediate action.
• 37:56
  They burst forth from the house, pistols loaded and ready in a
• 38:02
  frantic pursuit. They allegedly managed to strike
• 38:05
  the creature in the leg as it fled, but its unnatural speed
• 38:09
  and agility allowed it to evade their grasp.
• 38:14
  Undeterred, it fled towards the nearby graveyard, disappearing
• 38:19
  into the depths of the ancient crypt.
• 38:22
  Again, the brothers knew that they couldn't face the creature
• 38:26
  alone. The previous night's encounter
• 38:29
  had shaken them to their core, and the realization that others
• 38:33
  in the area had experienced similar harrowing visitations
• 38:39
  only added to the sense of unease that gripped them.
• 38:43
  Whispers of drained livestock and a young girl bearing
• 38:47
  inexplicable bite wounds spread like wildfire, fueling
• 38:52
  speculation that they were confronting a force beyond
• 38:56
  comprehension. The Cranswell brothers rallied
• 39:00
  the locals, imploring any able bodied individuals to join their
• 39:06
  crusade. As the sun swept over the
• 39:09
  horizon, the small band of locals gathered, armed with an
• 39:14
  array of makeshift weapons, ready to confront the sinister
• 39:18
  creature that had plagued their once peaceful hamlet, their
• 39:24
  footsteps echoing through the ancient graveyard.
• 39:28
  As they approached the ominous crypt where the creature had
• 39:33
  sought refuge, the air hung heavy with a palpable sense of
• 39:38
  dread, as if the very stones themselves harbored secrets best
• 39:44
  left undisturbed. Yet, driven by a burning
• 39:48
  curiosity and a desire to restore tranquility to their
• 39:53
  community, they pressed on. As they neared the Crips
• 39:58
  entrance, a hush fell over the group.
• 40:02
  The brothers exchanged a resolute glance, their grip
• 40:06
  tightening around their weapons. As they prepared to venture into
• 40:10
  the abyss, as they crossed a threshold into the gloomy crypt,
• 40:16
  a chill ran down their spines. Their torchlight cast eerie
• 40:20
  shadows across the defiled graves, coffins torn asunder,
• 40:26
  their contents strewn half hazardly across the stone floor.
• 40:31
  A sense of unease gripped them, yet amidst the desecrated
• 40:36
  resting places, one coffin remained untouched.
• 40:41
  With bated breath, they pried open the lid, and what greeted
• 40:45
  them was a sight that would forever be etched into their
• 40:49
  memories. There, lying motionless within
• 40:53
  the confines of the coffin, was the very creature that had
• 40:58
  terrorized them. Its features now doled as if
• 41:03
  trapped in a trance like state. A fresh bullet wound marred its
• 41:08
  leg, a testament to the brothers earlier pursued, but it seemed
• 41:13
  to have little effect on the entity's unnatural existence.
• 41:18
  Realization dawned upon them, a chilling certainty that they
• 41:23
  were indeed confronting a vampire, a creature of myth and
• 41:27
  legend now made flesh before their very eyes.
• 41:33
  The whispering tales that had once seemed like mere folklore
• 41:37
  now took on a terrifying reality.
• 41:40
  The brothers knew that they could not allow this abomination
• 41:43
  to continue its reign of terror. Swiftly, they set about
• 41:48
  gathering the necessary materials, determined to purge
• 41:52
  the entity from their midst once and for all.
• 41:56
  The crackling flames cast a glow upon their faces as they
• 42:01
  prepared to consign the creature to the cleansing fire, a ritual
• 42:06
  that would hopefully bring an end to the harrowing ordeal.
• 42:11
  As the flames licked at the creature's form, the brothers
• 42:15
  and their companions watched with a mixture of trepidation
• 42:19
  and relief, knowing that they had vanquished a force that had
• 42:24
  threatened to unravel the very fabric their existence.
• 42:29
  The smoke curled upwards, carrying with it the lingering
• 42:33
  remnants of a mystery that had once seemed unfathomable, yet
• 42:39
  had now been laid to rest, forever etched into the annals
• 42:44
  of local lore. This rather dramatic and
• 42:48
  sensational tale was initially recounted by the English travel
• 42:52
  writer and author Augustus Hare, who included it in his multi
• 42:58
  volume 1890s autobiography The Story of My Life under the
• 43:04
  section titled The Beast of Crogling Grange.
• 43:09
  The narrative reads like a chilling Horror Story, and given
• 43:13
  that Hare was known for publishing ghost accounts during
• 43:16
  an era when sensationally macabre and gothic pulp stories
• 43:21
  known as penny dreadfuls were popular fiction, However, Hare
• 43:27
  presented it as a completely real and factual account without
• 43:32
  any indication that it was a fabrication.
• 43:35
  According to him, he had personally heard the story in
• 43:38
  1874 directly from the actual owner of Crocklin Grange,
• 43:45
  Captain Edward Fisher Rowie, whose family had owned the
• 43:49
  property for generations. However, Hare neglected to cite
• 43:53
  many names or detailed locations or provide verifiable sources,
• 44:00
  leaving the reader to ponder the veracity of the events
• 44:04
  described. Since Hare never admitted that
• 44:07
  any part of it was fictional and consistently presented it as
• 44:11
  fact, the account has become a perplexing mystery, sparking
• 44:16
  endless debates as to whether any element of it is rooted in
• 44:20
  truth or if it was a product of either Hair's or Fisher's
• 44:25
  imagination. One of the earliest skeptics to
• 44:28
  scrutinize his published work was Charles George Harper, an
• 44:33
  English author and illustrator. Harper embarked on a personal
• 44:38
  quest to Cumberland in 1924, determined to get to the bottom
• 44:43
  of the alleged events at Crawglin Grange.
• 44:47
  However, his investigation yielded perplexing results.
• 44:52
  As Harper delved into the heart of the local community, he
• 44:56
  encountered A startling revelation.
• 44:59
  Not a single resident had ever heard of a place called Krogling
• 45:03
  Grange, nor could they recall any whispers of its existence.
• 45:08
  It seemed as though this location had vanished into the
• 45:12
  mist of time, leaving no tangible trace behind,
• 45:17
  undeterred. Harper scoured the.
• 45:19
  Countryside seeking any semblance of the dwelling
• 45:23
  described in Hare's account, the closest he could uncover was a
• 45:28
  structure known as Kroglin Low Hall.
• 45:31
  Yet its characteristics diverged significantly from the haunting
• 45:36
  depiction. Not only was it situated over a
• 45:39
  mile from the nearest church, but it stood as a two-story
• 45:43
  edifice, defying the single story description of the Grange.
• 45:48
  Moreover, the adjacent cemetery bore no evidence of the sinister
• 45:53
  crypt that had allegedly harbored the malevolent entity.
• 45:58
  Harper's quest to substantiate the existence of the Cranswell
• 46:02
  siblings proved equally fruitless.
• 46:06
  Despite his meticulous efforts, he could find no records or
• 46:11
  accounts that corroborated their presence in the region.
• 46:15
  Compounding this perplexity was the scarcity of clear
• 46:19
  information provided in Hare's narrative, rendering any attempt
• 46:24
  to trace their footsteps an exercise in futility.
• 46:28
  As Harper's investigation drew to a close, he found himself
• 46:32
  confronted with more questions than answers.
• 46:36
  The tale of the Kroglin Grange vampire, once presented as an
• 46:41
  unvarnished account of a supernatural encounter, now
• 46:44
  stood as a tantalizing controversy, its origins and
• 46:49
  truthfulness lost to time. This cast significant doubt on
• 46:54
  the authenticity of the Crockland vampire tale,
• 46:58
  suggesting that it was either an intentional fabrication or an
• 47:02
  unintentional distortion of the truth.
• 47:06
  However, Harper's conclusions would face scrutiny in the
• 47:10
  1930s, when researcher F Clive Ross embarked on his own
• 47:16
  investigation in Cumberland. Ross's findings painted a
• 47:20
  different picture, one that hinted at a kernel of truth
• 47:24
  buried beneath the layers of mystery.
• 47:28
  According to Ross's research, Crogland Low Hall was indeed the
• 47:32
  location Harrod described, though the property had since
• 47:36
  been demolished and a Chapel erected in its place.
• 47:41
  Remarkably, remnants of the original structure remained,
• 47:46
  including the foundation stones of an ancient church and
• 47:50
  graveyard, the very same hollow ground where the sinister entity
• 47:56
  was said to have taken refuge. Even more compelling was the
• 48:00
  discovery of a bricked up window, rumored to be the very
• 48:05
  one through which the vampire had first appeared, tormenting
• 48:11
  the unsuspecting Amelia. Ross's findings injected a new
• 48:16
  found sense of intrigue into the narrative, suggesting that
• 48:20
  beneath the sensationalized elements, there may have been a
• 48:23
  genuine encounter that sparked the tale's origins.
• 48:28
  The existence of the church and graveyard lent credence to the
• 48:32
  idea that something inexplicable had transpired in this secluded
• 48:38
  corner of the English countryside, an event so
• 48:42
  profound that it interlocked itself into local folklore,
• 48:48
  evolving and transforming with each retelling.
• 48:53
  Was it a mere fiction, born from the fertile imagination of a
• 48:57
  storyteller? Or did it represent a distorted
• 49:00
  recounting of a genuine paranormal event, its details
• 49:06
  obscured by the passage of time? The answers remained elusive,
• 49:12
  and the tale would continue to captivate generations to come.
• 49:17
  However, further investigations shed new light on the narrative.
• 49:22
  It was discovered that others in the region had indeed heard the
• 49:26
  story. An old, mostly forgotten local
• 49:30
  myth in the Fisher family was very much real.
• 49:35
  One local resident even revealed that Kroglin Lohal had once been
• 49:40
  referred to as Kroglin Grange until 1720, suggesting that
• 49:46
  although Hare may have mixed up the dates, at least some
• 49:50
  elements of this tale held true. This aligned with the findings
• 49:55
  of a journalist, Lionel Fanthrope, who in recent years
• 50:00
  concluded that at Crawglin Grange and a vault matching the
• 50:04
  one in the story had existed in the 1600s.
• 50:09
  While the full scope of events remained obscured the
• 50:12
  possibility that an inexplicable encounter had indeed transpired
• 50:18
  in the secluded corner of the English countryside, the tale
• 50:22
  and origin of the Krogland Grange vampire remains
• 50:25
  uncertain. While the evidence neither
• 50:27
  confirms nor denies the events described, the lack of concrete
• 50:32
  proof poses a significant challenge for those seeking to
• 50:36
  validate the existence of a bloodthirsty creature of the
• 50:40
  night stalking the English countryside in the 1800s.
• 50:46
  It is highly plausible that this account originated from an
• 50:50
  unreliable second hand source, perhaps Fisher himself, who may
• 50:55
  have fabricated this story, drawn inspiration from
• 50:59
  sensational Gothic literature of the era, or distorted factual
• 51:04
  elements beyond recognition. Alternatively, it could be the
• 51:09
  work of pure fiction crafted by hair, skillfully weaving real
• 51:13
  locations into a narrative presented as truth for dramatic
• 51:19
  effect, only to be misconstrued as a potentially genuine
• 51:23
  encounter in later years, taking on a life of its own.
• 51:28
  Or perhaps it was merely A mischievous jest, a playful
• 51:34
  attempt to captivate and perplex.
• 51:38
  The truth remains elusive, leaving us to ponder the
• 51:41
  possibility of something inexplicable transpired in the
• 51:46
  secluded corner of Cumberland, transforming with each retelling
• 51:52
  and baffling those who dive deeper.

• 52:35
  We'll see you next time. The oldest of Native Hawaiian.
• 52:43
  Chants described the Hawaiian Islands, the spirits that
• 52:47
  inhabit them, the forces of nature that shaped them, and all
• 52:52
  the living things upon them as inextricably connected.
• 52:57
  And perhaps the wisdom of the native peoples is true and not
• 53:03
  just folklore. When authorities are called to a
• 53:07
  residence for an incident, what they will see will shake them
• 53:11
  all to their core. A supposed entity with an
• 53:15
  insatiable hunger for blood and corpses makes its presence
• 53:20
  known. Are the infamous tales true?
• 53:25
  This is what we will discover as we dive into the untold story of
• 53:29
  the haunted Kasha House of Kaimuki, located in Hawaii.
• 53:49
  Beyond the waters of its beaches.
• 53:52
  And the lush green canopies of its forests, the tropical
• 53:56
  paradise of the islands of Hawaii are an idyllic home or
• 54:02
  getaway for many. However, within the mists,
• 54:06
  shadows permeate. And where the veil is thin
• 54:10
  between our world and the next, those shadows sometimes whisper.
• 54:18
  In Japanese folklore, the creature known as the Kasha
• 54:22
  paints a terrifying picture. Its name translates to Fire
• 54:27
  Cart. It is a creature that is known
• 54:30
  to frequent populated areas and where it's diet consists of
• 54:35
  consuming the flesh of fresh human corpses.
• 54:40
  According to the lore, these creatures are a type of Baki
• 54:43
  Neko or a type of hellcat that lives among human beings under
• 54:49
  the guise of a common house cat or a stray.
• 54:54
  They are bipedal and larger than most people.
• 54:58
  When they make themselves known, they are accompanied by the
• 55:02
  flames of hell and strong thunderstorms are left in their
• 55:08
  wake. It is only during funerals that
• 55:11
  their true forms are revealed, and as a result, they are known
• 55:15
  to snatch the corpses of the freshly deceased and spirit them
• 55:21
  away to hell for punishment. A type of Grim Reaper, if you
• 55:26
  will. Akasha will animate a corpse as
• 55:29
  a puppet to do its bidding. Then we'll consume it as the
• 55:35
  ultimate punishment for one's misdeeds in life.
• 55:40
  Our story begins around 1940 on Oahu in Hawaii, in a large house
• 55:47
  that stands at 8th and Harding in Kaimuki, its foundation
• 55:52
  resting atop 2 beds of lava rock.
• 55:57
  The original story. That began the.
• 55:59
  Infamy of the Kaimuki House tells of a young couple who
• 56:04
  moved into the home hoping for a good and beautiful life
• 56:08
  together. But almost as soon as they moved
• 56:12
  in, this shared dream would deteriorate.
• 56:16
  The neighbors began hearing loud bangs and crashes almost every
• 56:22
  night, and as the episodes grew in intensity and suspecting that
• 56:28
  perhaps domestic violence could be taking place, one of the
• 56:32
  neighbors called the police. When the police arrived and.
• 56:37
  Questioned the. Couple instead of seeing one or
• 56:40
  the other upset or abused, they told them something else
• 56:45
  instead. They began to divulge to the
• 56:48
  officers that they were being attacked by something that they
• 56:52
  couldn't see. What happened to the young
• 56:55
  couple following this particular night is unclear, but what is
• 56:59
  known is that they moved out a short while after the incident.
• 57:04
  Sometime later on August 13th, 1942.
• 57:09
  On this day, an article would appear in the Honolulu Star
• 57:12
  Bulletin newspaper, one that described A bizarre happening
• 57:17
  that had just taken place and this incident.
• 57:22
  Was. Supposedly caused by the evil
• 57:25
  dunes of kahuna. For further context, in ancient
• 57:31
  Hawaii, treatment of the sick was based on the belief that
• 57:35
  poor health was caused by malevolent spirits or disease
• 57:40
  producing demons. Illness was considered the
• 57:43
  result of sorcery or in some cases, the ramifications of 1's
• 57:49
  actions. Among the Hawaiians, there
• 57:52
  existed a group, the kahunas, or those who were keepers of the
• 57:58
  secret, whose wisdom had been gained by divine guidance.
• 58:05
  Kahunas were grouped into. Various.
• 58:07
  Categories some good and others bad, and sorcery was practiced
• 58:13
  by the group. It was known as the Kahuna
• 58:16
  Anani. So essentially kahuna is a form
• 58:20
  of witchcraft with both white and black magic.
• 58:25
  On the night the article referred to, police officers
• 58:28
  were called to a house by a woman during a strong
• 58:32
  thunderstorm. During the call, the lady kept
• 58:36
  repeating she's trying to kill my children over and over again.
• 58:43
  Her words kept being interrupted by loud crashes of Thunder and
• 58:48
  what sounded like items being destroyed in the background.
• 58:52
  Upon arriving and entering the house, the officers.
• 58:57
  Couldn't believe what they. Were seeing those present began
• 59:01
  to witness something that was truly horrific.
• 59:05
  The woman who had initially called was screaming in the
• 59:09
  corner of the main room as her three children were levitating
• 59:15
  before her and everyone. Upon approaching them, the
• 59:20
  officers as well as the children would be slapped, pushed and
• 59:26
  hurled across the room by a sinister, invisible force.
• 59:33
  The children were a brother and two sisters, ages 1018 and 20.
• 59:41
  The main officer in charge was a police Sergeant.
• 59:45
  Prior to the call, the family began to smell a very strange
• 59:49
  odor like that of sulfur permeating their home, and then
• 59:55
  the physical attacks began. As the force attacked those
• 59:59
  involved, the mother of the family ran into her room and
• 1:00:03
  returned with several items. She frantically began fanning
• 1:00:08
  tea leaves and began throwing salt towards the entity.
• 1:00:13
  After several minutes, her efforts seemed to work as the
• 1:00:18
  children and the officer were released from the clutches of
• 1:00:24
  whatever this thing was. The family and the officer would
• 1:00:29
  vacate the premise following this night of horror.
• 1:00:33
  The woman who had called the authorities believed that the
• 1:00:36
  happenings were a result of black magic that had been placed
• 1:00:40
  on her by her ex-husband whom she had recently left.
• 1:00:46
  This is no doubt probably the most famous stories surrounding
• 1:00:49
  the Kaimuki house, given the press it received in the various
• 1:00:53
  media outlets. But it certainly would not be
• 1:00:57
  the last. 30 years later, another incident would too
• 1:01:02
  garner the attention of the people.
• 1:01:05
  Another frantic late night call had dispatched a patrol car in
• 1:01:10
  Kaimuki. The girls who lived there had
• 1:01:13
  supposedly heard strange noises of someone moving around and
• 1:01:18
  talking inside of their house. At first, thinking someone had
• 1:01:23
  broken into their home, they phoned the authorities, but
• 1:01:27
  following the call the noises began to escalate in intensity.
• 1:01:32
  Then one of the women felt the ice cold grasp of a hand on her
• 1:01:39
  arm. The girls, all three, ran out of
• 1:01:43
  the home and sat in their car until the officer arrived.
• 1:01:49
  Upon hearing their story, he would go inside and check the
• 1:01:52
  home for an intruder, but would find no one, deciding to spend
• 1:01:58
  the rest. Of the night with one.
• 1:01:59
  Of the girls mothers, they asked the policeman to follow them to
• 1:02:04
  the mother's home to ensure their safety.
• 1:02:08
  As the girls drove in front of the officer, they began to
• 1:02:12
  erratically swerve from side to side, ultimately pulling into a
• 1:02:17
  vacant parking lot upon approaching the vehicle with
• 1:02:21
  concern. The policeman later wrote this
• 1:02:25
  in his report. As I approached the vehicle, I
• 1:02:30
  could see two of the girls screaming.
• 1:02:33
  The girl sat in the middle in the back was fighting a person
• 1:02:38
  that could not be seen. She was very clearly being
• 1:02:42
  strangled. I opened one of the back doors
• 1:02:46
  and reached into the vehicle and to my shock, a big, strong,
• 1:02:53
  calloused hand that could not have possibly been that of a
• 1:02:57
  teenage girl grabbed my arm and twisted it.
• 1:03:04
  Upon freeing myself, I called for backup.
• 1:03:08
  The answering officer was certainly prepared for a parking
• 1:03:11
  lot fight, but not one with a ghost.
• 1:03:16
  Within minutes the other officer would arrive and with all the
• 1:03:20
  color drained out of his face, the original responding officer
• 1:03:25
  told him that there was a ghost in that car.
• 1:03:29
  By this point all women involved had exited the car and were
• 1:03:33
  hysterical, crying and screaming.
• 1:03:37
  Continuing to quote the officers report, I told the girl who had
• 1:03:42
  been choked to get in my patrol car and the other two women to
• 1:03:46
  ride with my fellow officer. But as soon as the young lady
• 1:03:50
  sat in my vehicle, which had stayed running during the
• 1:03:53
  incident, a motor died. It died and wouldn't start up
• 1:03:58
  again. Placing the girls back into
• 1:04:01
  their original car. The officer tried to start the
• 1:04:04
  vehicle again and it started as if nothing had ever been wrong.
• 1:04:10
  Wanting to get these frightened girls home safe, the original
• 1:04:14
  officer and the responding officer agreed to continue to
• 1:04:17
  follow them. But upon pulling out of the
• 1:04:20
  parking lot and almost as soon as they had driven about 5
• 1:04:24
  yards, suddenly one of the girl's vehicles doors flew open
• 1:04:31
  and the same girl who had previously been attacked was
• 1:04:35
  thrown out of the vehicle. Upon rushing to her position to
• 1:04:39
  check on her, she was again tearing at her throat and making
• 1:04:44
  noises as if she was being strangled.
• 1:04:48
  She had also incurred some Rd. rash.
• 1:04:51
  Together, the two policemen were not strong enough to pull her
• 1:04:56
  hands away. Terrified and believing the
• 1:05:00
  matter to be a spiritual one, one of the officers ran into the
• 1:05:04
  nearby Oasis Cafe and came back with a handful of salt and a
• 1:05:09
  glass of water, which was spritzed upon everyone there.
• 1:05:13
  And as the drops touched the young woman, she finally was
• 1:05:18
  able to catch her breath again. In later interviews, the officer
• 1:05:23
  would tell the press that his grandmother had told him that
• 1:05:26
  this was a method to make ghosts go away, and perhaps his
• 1:05:31
  grandmother was right, given the time frame.
• 1:05:36
  In which these stories? Occurred.
• 1:05:38
  Most involved may no longer be with us, so corroborating
• 1:05:42
  details is nearly impossible, but these tales have certainly
• 1:05:46
  made the Kaimuki house infamous. Now there are several possible
• 1:05:51
  explanations as to why and how the home became haunted by
• 1:05:56
  whatever paranormal entity or entities.
• 1:06:00
  Again, details are scarce, but I've done my best to research
• 1:06:04
  and put together the most cohesive theories possible.
• 1:06:09
  The first theory. Refers to a.
• 1:06:11
  Father who, after his wife told him that she was going to leave
• 1:06:15
  him, decided to do the unthinkable and in the lives of
• 1:06:20
  his two children and his wife, but still resided in the home
• 1:06:26
  the wife and son's bodies. Were buried.
• 1:06:28
  In the backyard, but the corpse of the daughter was never found.
• 1:06:35
  The second theory. Is that of a.
• 1:06:37
  Strangelove Triangle. A man was dating a woman who was
• 1:06:42
  dating another woman in secret without the man knowing, and
• 1:06:47
  upon his discovery of his girlfriend's secret affair, he
• 1:06:51
  decided to take the lives of her, her girlfriend, and
• 1:06:56
  ultimately himself within the walls of the Kaimuki house.
• 1:07:02
  The original house, from what I could gather, has since been
• 1:07:05
  demolished, and another home built atop where it once stood.
• 1:07:10
  And one of the many questions I have, is this home haunted just
• 1:07:16
  as the original home was? Was the haunting, if it existed
• 1:07:20
  at all, result of vengeful spirits of those who had met
• 1:07:25
  their demise there? The result of a bloodthirsty
• 1:07:29
  entity known as the Kasha, who would do anything to feed upon
• 1:07:35
  the flesh of the freshly deceased?
• 1:07:39
  Or was it something else? Was it perhaps?
• 1:07:43
  The result of native. Hawaiian black magic being
• 1:07:46
  practiced on the premises or nearby, or someone cursing
• 1:07:51
  another using this magic. We may never truly have the
• 1:07:55
  answers to these probing questions, but one thing As for
• 1:08:00
  certain, there was once a place that harbored darkness, a black
• 1:08:06
  void that existed in the heart of paradise, the supposed home
• 1:08:12
  of the angry souls of the dead, and possibly a creature from a
• 1:08:17
  world that is not our own. So if you see something that's
• 1:08:22
  beautiful on the surface, just know that one must be cautious
• 1:08:27
  because something evil could be lurking just beyond the shadows.
• 1:08:34
  Thank you guys. So.
• 1:08:35
  Much for watching this new. Video Hawaii is such a beautiful
• 1:08:39
  and cool place, full of culture and history and folklore and I
• 1:08:44
  thought it was time to pay some respects and cover a story that
• 1:08:48
  originates from one of the islands.
• 1:08:51
  If you enjoyed this video, please give it a like, leave me
• 1:08:54

  All that stuff truly, and I can't say this enough, helps me
• 1:09:01
  out tremendously. Not to sound like a broken
• 1:09:04
  record, there are many episodes to come, including one I've been
• 1:09:08
  working on for a few months now that I'm really excited to share
• 1:09:11
  with you guys. And as a message to my newer
• 1:09:13

• 1:09:41
  Along a section of Winding Rd. Tall, rusted gates harbor dark
• 1:09:46
  secrets. Not an adventure for the weak,
• 1:09:51
  This place is known for an abundance of evil activity.
• 1:09:56
  As the weary wander through the rusted iron bars, the souls of
• 1:10:01
  the damned whisper. Some will visit with wonder and
• 1:10:06
  others apprehension. And for good reason, for this
• 1:10:12
  place has spawned many legends stories of Satanic.
• 1:10:16
  Cults. Sacrifices, demonic possession
• 1:10:21
  and a wide range of terrifying apparitions have allegedly
• 1:10:26
  revealed themselves, but are there any truth to the rumors?
• 1:10:31
  What are these bone chilling stories?
• 1:10:34
  What is it about the stretch of road in Thornton, Co that has
• 1:10:39
  made it so infamous? That is what we will discover
• 1:10:43
  here on this episode of Mystery Archives as we explore the Gates
• 1:10:49
  of Hell of Riverdale Rd. of Colorado.
• 1:11:07
  All information provided is purely.
• 1:11:09
  Speculative. I've tried my best to find any
• 1:11:12
  and all information I could to the best to fit the stories and
• 1:11:17
  or see possibly where they could have come from or if there's any
• 1:11:21
  truth to them. Riverdale Rd., an 11 mile path
• 1:11:26
  located between Thornton and Brighton Co, has been a supposed
• 1:11:32
  hotspot for paranormal activity for decades.
• 1:11:36
  The earliest rumors tell us of a nearby Native American burial
• 1:11:41
  ground when it was in use. It's said that the tribe placed
• 1:11:45
  a curse upon the land to affect those who would disturb their
• 1:11:50
  dead. And as we've heard numerous
• 1:11:53
  times before, you don't mess with Native burial grounds.
• 1:11:58
  Nothing good ever comes of it. More on this later.
• 1:12:03
  Over the years, strange entities, those seeming to be
• 1:12:07
  half human and half animal, have been known to permeate the path
• 1:12:12
  ahead. Could these creatures have been
• 1:12:15
  the very feared skinwalkers of native folklore?
• 1:12:19
  Not all is evil with this rumor, however.
• 1:12:22
  There are both good and evil forces at work.
• 1:12:26
  They say that if you see a Gray fox along the road, then a
• 1:12:29
  benevolent entity has graced your trip, but if a coyote is
• 1:12:34
  what you see instead of a Gray fox, the path ahead is an
• 1:12:39
  ominous and malevolent one. We will certainly dive back into
• 1:12:44
  all of these rumors later, but the lore doesn't end here.
• 1:12:49
  It was nicknamed Closer to Modern Times for a variety of
• 1:12:52
  stories over the decades, and those of which I'll cover now in
• 1:12:58
  no particular order. Many people were lynched upon
• 1:13:02
  the trees surrounding the road, and many as sacrifices, some
• 1:13:08
  allegedly of former slaves by racist groups and others
• 1:13:13
  sacrifices committed by residents of the local community
• 1:13:17
  long ago. Whether the groups were one in
• 1:13:20
  the same cannot be distinguished.
• 1:13:23
  The Gates of Hell was once supposedly the home of a commune
• 1:13:28
  of Satanist Satanists who would do anything to keep their black
• 1:13:33
  church and its practices the secret.
• 1:13:37
  If anyone questioned the leadership, or if an outsider
• 1:13:41
  got too close to the truth, they would simply go missing.
• 1:13:46
  On the North End of the road, not too far from Hwy. 7, there
• 1:13:51
  once stood a large house, probably what most would
• 1:13:55
  consider to be a mansion. But the ruins of this building
• 1:13:59
  too harbor sinister secrets built by a very wealthy.
• 1:14:03
  Man for. Him and his family.
• 1:14:06
  The home was once quite the marvel to gaze upon, but the
• 1:14:10
  ability to look upon the structure would be short lived.
• 1:14:14
  Shortly after moving his family in, once construction was
• 1:14:18
  finished, the man began to change, growing colder, more
• 1:14:24
  distant and stranger. Located back behind the home was
• 1:14:29
  an underground cellar and taking the blood from the lives of
• 1:14:33
  those who had gone astray. It is here that they say he used
• 1:14:38
  black magic, riding strange symbols on the walls with their
• 1:14:43
  blood in order to try and conjure spirits and demons,
• 1:14:49
  perhaps in order to gain power and wealth.
• 1:14:54
  Behind the cellar is an old burnt tree, which has some lore
• 1:14:58
  of its own as well. This was where some victims were
• 1:15:01
  supposedly hung and burned at the stake, leaving charred
• 1:15:06
  remnants. 1 Fateful. Night as his.
• 1:15:10
  Family slept. The husband of the family crept
• 1:15:14
  up the stairs with an axe and without the others knowing he
• 1:15:20
  went room to room, slaying his wife and his children as their
• 1:15:27
  blood coated the floors of the house.
• 1:15:30
  This diabolical man, seemingly demon possessed, then took fuel
• 1:15:37
  and dumped it all throughout the house, lit it a flame, and then
• 1:15:41
  stepped outside to revel in pure madness and what he had just
• 1:15:46
  done. Was it him or a demon inside of
• 1:15:50
  him? This will perhaps never know,
• 1:15:53
  but he apparently, once the home was partially engulfed in
• 1:15:57
  flames, then took a rope, fastened it to the charred tree
• 1:16:02
  behind his cellar and ultimately hung himself, his feet dangling
• 1:16:08
  inches above the ground as the home behind him was reduced to
• 1:16:12
  burnt rubble. Other versions of the story say
• 1:16:16
  the man disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.
• 1:16:21
  A pale white figure of a woman is said to haunt the grounds
• 1:16:25
  now. Can be heard screaming some
• 1:16:27
  nights when the wind is still. Those that visit the Gates of
• 1:16:32
  Hell area have reported, as previously mentioned, seeing
• 1:16:36
  strange animals, but they also report seeing and hearing
• 1:16:41
  stranger things as well. Disembodied voices, the feeling
• 1:16:46
  of being watched, and the sensation of icy hands poking
• 1:16:52
  and touching them. Another very strange phenomenon
• 1:16:56
  that's said to exist is bloody human hand burns materializing
• 1:17:01
  on the street signs with no rational origin.
• 1:17:06
  This place, like many, seems downright terrifying in my
• 1:17:09
  opinion. But is there any truth to any of
• 1:17:12
  these stories, or are they just that, stories?
• 1:17:17
  Well, here's what I found following what we covered in
• 1:17:21
  order. Thornton, Co was indigenously
• 1:17:26
  inhabited by several Native American tribes, most notably
• 1:17:31
  the Arapaho and the Cheyenne. Each tribe had very different
• 1:17:36
  burial methods. The Arapaho usually buried their
• 1:17:40
  deceased on the same day that the person had died.
• 1:17:44
  The body was dressed in their finest traditional clothing and
• 1:17:48
  a spacious grave was dug into the ground.
• 1:17:51
  The person was then buried with some of their personal
• 1:17:54
  belongings, such as clothing and blankets.
• 1:17:59
  Stones and other items would be placed on top of the grave to
• 1:18:03
  mark its significance and who was buried there.
• 1:18:07
  Arguably fairly similar to how the West buries people today.
• 1:18:12
  The Cheyenne, however, had a very different method.
• 1:18:15
  It's unclear how long it took them to typically lay someone to
• 1:18:19
  rest, but their funeral customs were that they would wrap the
• 1:18:23
  deceased in shawls and blankets, they would proceed to the
• 1:18:28
  designated burial ground, and during the procession A
• 1:18:32
  bloodletting practice would take place where ponies would
• 1:18:36
  typically be killed. They are interesting to me in
• 1:18:39
  numerous ways, but they wouldn't bury their dead.
• 1:18:43
  They would instead build a scaffold of sort and lay the
• 1:18:46
  dead on top of it. This was done in the belief that
• 1:18:50
  it would accelerate the soul of the departed's passage into the
• 1:18:54
  afterlife. For practical reasons it is
• 1:18:58
  believed that they did this in order to prevent wild animals
• 1:19:02
  from pillaging the corpse, which very well may have been the
• 1:19:06
  case, but typically the bodies would stay and sometimes decay
• 1:19:11
  and eventually fall back down to the ground.
• 1:19:14
  Now curses did exist for both tribes, but I couldn't find any
• 1:19:18
  of that specifically referenced burial sites and almost all
• 1:19:22
  people's beliefs. Disturbing the dead is
• 1:19:25
  considered very taboo. Could it perhaps be our
• 1:19:28
  collective regard for the eternal rest of those who have
• 1:19:32
  passed that have led us to the belief that a burial ground
• 1:19:36
  could indeed be cursed? Also, skinwalkers, which are
• 1:19:41
  still feared to this day, were created when a person committed
• 1:19:45
  a heinous act like the killing of a family member, and this
• 1:19:50
  would grant them supernatural powers, allowing them to
• 1:19:54
  shapeshift from a human to an animal at will.
• 1:19:58
  They often become coyotes, wolves.
• 1:20:02
  Foxes or bears? Though they can transition into
• 1:20:06
  any animal, both coyotes and foxes are allegedly the omens
• 1:20:12
  along the road containing the gates of hell.
• 1:20:16
  When it comes to the supposed lynchings that took place, I
• 1:20:19
  found this in Colorado. It was a cheap way to execute
• 1:20:24
  criminals, and the majority of those that are documented,
• 1:20:28
  roughly 175 cases, were mostly the results of core rulings at
• 1:20:33
  the time, all over the state in the time being, the early 20th
• 1:20:38
  century. As far as if formal slaves were
• 1:20:41
  lynched, this very possibly could have taken place, but I
• 1:20:46
  couldn't find any that were directly linked to Thornton.
• 1:20:49
  In total, there were five events that were explicitly tied to
• 1:20:53
  race, but many took place again in the early 20th century,
• 1:20:59
  albeit as horrific as they were after 1919, lynch moms
• 1:21:04
  occasionally flared up to dole out public justice, but as more
• 1:21:09
  people moved to the state, attitudes towards this type of
• 1:21:12
  behavior and action began to change.
• 1:21:16
  Therefore, public opinion as well as opinion of the courts
• 1:21:20
  moved away from this method of execution.
• 1:21:24
  When it comes to the apparent satanic coal commune that
• 1:21:27
  supposedly lived there, I couldn't find any evidence of
• 1:21:31
  them no matter where I looked. But obviously, if I was a secret
• 1:21:35
  colt and I was good at my job, I wouldn't have any evidence of my
• 1:21:40
  bloodthirsty existence on the Internet either.
• 1:21:44
  This now leads us back to the mansion where the name came
• 1:21:47
  from. The name Gates of Hell came from
• 1:21:50
  the old and rusted iron gates of a burned down mansion, a blaze
• 1:21:56
  that was the result of a madman who took his family out.
• 1:22:01
  Now there is proof of the mansion, who bought it, and what
• 1:22:05
  happened that caused it to burn down, but the truth is certainly
• 1:22:09
  less spooky than the legend. Before I dive into it, I wanted
• 1:22:13
  to also mention that it's more than likely that the charred
• 1:22:16
  tree was the result of either the original fire or of a
• 1:22:21
  lightning strike taking place. The mansion was originally named
• 1:22:25
  the Vulpert House. Built in 1864 by a man named
• 1:22:29
  David Volbert, this two-story brick house was a fine structure
• 1:22:34
  of dignity. David, who was a very successful
• 1:22:38
  prospector along with his wife Catherine, had two daughters and
• 1:22:43
  a son. However, even though fitting the
• 1:22:47
  time frame when the madman story supposedly took place, David
• 1:22:52
  didn't go crazy and harm his family.
• 1:22:55
  He actually would go on to pass away, presumably within the
• 1:22:58
  home, at the age of 75. What happened to his family
• 1:23:02
  members is unclear, but they most likely moved on and passed
• 1:23:07
  away from natural causes. The home, as far as I can tell,
• 1:23:11
  sat vacant from the early 1900s until 1975.
• 1:23:16
  This is when a man named Doctor Hugo Rhodic and his wife Ori and
• 1:23:21
  Sally Rhodic, purchase the home, working hard on behalf of the
• 1:23:26
  Adams County Historical Society. The couple would go on to
• 1:23:30
  restore the home and live there for a short time, designating
• 1:23:33
  its status as a historical monument.
• 1:23:37
  Things seemed normal for the Road X until 1:00 AM on November
• 1:23:42
  28th, 1975. The home, which stood at 9190
• 1:23:48
  Riverdale Rd., became engulfed in flames.
• 1:23:53
  It's unclear whether or not the couple had any children or any
• 1:23:57
  that lived with them at that time, but the Rhodics would make
• 1:24:00
  it out of the blaze very much alive.
• 1:24:03
  And although the origin of the blaze was undetermined, the
• 1:24:07
  authorities at the time did determine that arson did not
• 1:24:10
  seem to be at play. Doctor Rhodic would go on to
• 1:24:14
  live and ultimately passed away at the age of 102.
• 1:24:19
  It seems as though the Madman Mansion story, as I've come to
• 1:24:23
  see it, could possibly be a fictionalized amalgamation of
• 1:24:27
  both of the real stories surrounding the Vulpert House.
• 1:24:31
  The ruins of the home as well as the original gates have since
• 1:24:35
  been demolished and the Pelican Ponds open space now sits in
• 1:24:40
  their place. Sometimes the truth isn't as fun
• 1:24:43
  as the legends that surround an area, and perhaps there could be
• 1:24:47
  more truth in some of these tales.
• 1:24:50
  Perhaps the area itself is where the veil is thinner between our
• 1:24:54
  world and the next. It's hard to say, but one thing
• 1:24:59
  is certain. The folklore of America is vast,
• 1:25:03
  creative, and entertaining, and it's incredible to see so many
• 1:25:08
  stories spawning from seemingly such an insignificant place,
• 1:25:12
  like a winding stretch of Rd. in the middle of Colorado.
• 1:25:16
  But what do you think? Do you have any stories about
• 1:25:20
  the Gates of Hell? Do you have any stories from
• 1:25:23
  your local community that have become legends?

  I've covered dozens of. Hauntings and paranormal
• 1:26:29
  happenings on this channel, Some famous, some infamous and others
• 1:26:35
  less known. But what I think is important as
• 1:26:39
  well is to help use my platform to share other people's stories
• 1:26:45
  of their experiences with the supernatural.
• 1:26:49
  To show that these experiences are indeed real and that they do
• 1:26:54
  truly happen. These are subscriber submitted
• 1:26:57
  stories and all I ask is that you keep an open mind.
• 1:27:02
  These are your paranormal encounters.
• 1:27:09
  When I was in junior high, me. And my best friend at the time
• 1:27:13
  played with a new Ouija board that she had got for Christmas.
• 1:27:16
  We messed around for a while but nothing happened.
• 1:27:21
  So we got bored and put it away. A few weeks later I was at her
• 1:27:26
  house again, was playing around with the record feature and my
• 1:27:31
  flip phone. My friend left to use the
• 1:27:34
  bathroom and I kept messing around with the phone.
• 1:27:38
  It was just me and her cat alone in the basement.
• 1:27:42
  I made a recording of me and the cat meowing at each other,
• 1:27:45
  innocent kid stuff. But when I played it back there
• 1:27:50
  was this really deep animalistic grunting sound and the recording
• 1:27:56
  that was definitely not there when I was initially making it.
• 1:28:00
  It also was way too deep sounding to possibly be from a
• 1:28:05
  14 year old girl or a little cat.
• 1:28:08
  It was a few years later before anything else happened.
• 1:28:12
  Next I was around 16 to 17 years old and we moved in with my
• 1:28:16
  mom's boyfriend. My room always felt dark and
• 1:28:20
  uncomfortable, like I was always being watched even when I was
• 1:28:24
  alone after a while. Weird things started.
• 1:28:28
  To happen, things would go missing, then later reappear in
• 1:28:33
  the middle of my desk or some place obvious.
• 1:28:37
  I would hear tapping and scratching on the walls in my
• 1:28:40
  room when everyone was asleep. I would get horrible nightmares,
• 1:28:46
  not like anything I'd ever experienced before.
• 1:28:50
  One time I got a scratch across my leg while I was sitting in my
• 1:28:54
  bed. I looked around but could not
• 1:28:57
  find anything sharp that could have done it.
• 1:29:00
  Last was the bed shaking every night along the wall,
• 1:29:06
  scratching, creepy feeling and nightmares.
• 1:29:10
  My bed would shake, not hard but just enough to make me notice no
• 1:29:16
  heavy traffic or trains nearby and there was no construction
• 1:29:20
  going on. It happened in my room only.
• 1:29:25
  I would sleep with my mom or my sister after a while because I
• 1:29:28
  couldn't handle it anymore. One time my mom got curious and
• 1:29:33
  slept in my bed to see what the big deal was and it shook her
• 1:29:37
  too. A few years later we all moved
• 1:29:40
  out. I moved in with my future
• 1:29:43
  husband and we rented the basement at his childhood home
• 1:29:46
  for a couple years. While there, three weird things
• 1:29:50
  happened and it was the first time I ever saw anything.
• 1:29:54
  The first was this big black dog that just appeared in our living
• 1:29:58
  room. I blinked and it vanished.
• 1:30:03
  The second was in the kitchen. I was cooking dinner when I
• 1:30:07
  glanced to the side and saw a tall man with curly hair and a
• 1:30:11
  ball cap. When I told my husband the
• 1:30:14
  description, I remembered more of the description back in the
• 1:30:17
  day. It's been 10 years since this
• 1:30:20
  happened. He told me I just described his
• 1:30:23
  older brother. Sadly his older brother lost his
• 1:30:27
  fight with depression long before I ever met my husband and
• 1:30:32
  he actually passed away in the same basement we were living in.
• 1:30:36
  The last thing that happened I think was either his brother
• 1:30:39
  again or an energy imprint. I was in the kitchen again and
• 1:30:44
  asking my husband what he wanted for dinner and he replied
• 1:30:48
  something unhelpful along the lines of whatever you want.
• 1:30:53
  Well a few minutes later I get a call from my husband.
• 1:30:58
  He wasn't even home at the time of that conversation.
• 1:31:02
  Who was I talking to? I would like to let you know.
• 1:31:05
  That I do not. Have any mental illness or
• 1:31:07
  neurological issues that would make me hallucinate?
• 1:31:11
  I never drank or did drugs. We also had a brand new carbon
• 1:31:15
  monoxide detector installed and we had moved in so there would
• 1:31:19
  be no reason for me to hallucinate any of that.
• 1:31:23
  My last experiences in my current home and it happened a
• 1:31:27
  few years ago. I was pouring some ramen noodles
• 1:31:31
  into bowls for my kids lunch when the bowls started to spin
• 1:31:35
  in different directions without me touching them.
• 1:31:39
  I stopped and then stepped back and they stopped spinning, then
• 1:31:44
  spun one more time before finally stopping all together.
• 1:31:48
  There are more minor experiences I've had, but these were the
• 1:31:52
  most memorable. I hope it was interesting enough
• 1:31:55
  for what you were looking for. I certainly think it was.
• 1:31:59
  You certainly had a variety of paranormal experiences from the
• 1:32:02
  sounds of it, but the nightmares, the scratching on
• 1:32:06
  the walls and the shaking of my bed would have been downright
• 1:32:10
  terrifying. What really takes the cake for
• 1:32:13
  me is the fact that you had a conversation with something
• 1:32:16
  pretending to be your husband, and your husband wasn't even
• 1:32:20
  there. All around, thank you for
• 1:32:22
  sharing this with us, GAIL. Hello big fan and submitting my.
• 1:32:28
  Story I've always had an interest in the paranormal my
• 1:32:32
  entire life but was never really convinced up until this event.
• 1:32:37
  It was spring of 2015 and I was working on a conservation crew
• 1:32:42
  in Lake Tahoe doing fire hazard removal and fuels reduction with
• 1:32:48
  the Forest Service on a chainsaw crew.
• 1:32:52
  I've been doing this job for a year in Nevada and this was my
• 1:32:56
  first time in the area. Our work day came to a close and
• 1:33:01
  mind you, this is the day one of our schedule out of a six day
• 1:33:04
  work week and we left Incline Village towards our designated
• 1:33:09
  campsite at Spooner Lake in Carson City.
• 1:33:14
  After our crew set up camp and ate dinner, myself and two other
• 1:33:18
  coworkers took a brief walk down the service trail until we got
• 1:33:23
  to an intersection on the trail that wasn't surrounded by trees.
• 1:33:28
  We shoot the breeze and smoke American spirits for about 45
• 1:33:32
  minutes to an hour laughing and just talking about life when out
• 1:33:38
  of nowhere in the corner of my left eye I see a white mist in
• 1:33:44
  the silhouette of a person about 6 feet tall just glide
• 1:33:49
  diagonally from behind a tree. It stands motionless in the
• 1:33:55
  middle of the trail where on and I can see the dirt of the trail
• 1:33:59
  underneath it because it had no feet, but its legs conjoined
• 1:34:06
  just after its knees couldn't see through it.
• 1:34:09
  Because it was so dense. From whatever it was made out
• 1:34:12
  of. I whispered my Co workers name
• 1:34:15
  to get them to look up from their phone and as he looks up
• 1:34:19
  he says what? And then he too became frozen as
• 1:34:23
  he stared right at this figure. I asked him if he sees it too
• 1:34:29
  and he says I think it pierced my soul.
• 1:34:33
  While my other Co worker is oblivious to all of this
• 1:34:36
  happening, it suddenly notices us noticing it and glides slowly
• 1:34:43
  diagonally across the trail and behind a tree was gone.
• 1:34:50
  The angle in which it moved seemed as though it was a
• 1:34:53
  direction or path that we cannot conceive.
• 1:34:58
  Anyway, we run back to our campground which was about 100
• 1:35:02
  to 200 yards away and just went back to our tents without saying
• 1:35:07
  a word to each other or the rest of the crew.
• 1:35:10
  The real amazing part about this experience was that unbeknownst
• 1:35:15
  to me or anyone in my crew is that next to the lake are these
• 1:35:19
  hills that gradually go up and every morning this fog would
• 1:35:24
  roll down these hills and it just looks incredible.
• 1:35:29
  However. It is the exact.
• 1:35:31
  Same density and material that the figure seemed to be composed
• 1:35:36
  of. I think the spirit is somehow
• 1:35:39
  part of nature and maybe burning tobacco brought it out as if it
• 1:35:44
  were an offering. After all, this is an ancient
• 1:35:48
  land. That was my experience, I hope
• 1:35:52
  you enjoyed it. I did enjoy Nick.
• 1:35:55
  It sounds super creepy though in my opinion, and perhaps you're
• 1:36:00
  right. Maybe the offering brought forth
• 1:36:02
  some type of ancient spirit that dwells the area, translucent and
• 1:36:08
  or composed of fog. Just sounds so eerie to me.
• 1:36:12
  Thank you for sharing this with us.
• 1:36:17
  This must have happened in 1986 or 87, which made me about 6 or
• 1:36:23
  7 at the time. It is important to note that
• 1:36:26
  where we were staying back then, a suburb and then Pretoria,
• 1:36:31
  Currently referred to as the city of Tushwani, a large city.
• 1:36:37
  Even then, our house was situated only a few blocks from
• 1:36:41
  one of the busiest streets in the city, a broad 4 lane with
• 1:36:46
  constant traffic both ways. Big trucks right through the
• 1:36:51
  night barreling off into the distance.
• 1:36:55
  The kind of consistent. Drone I.
• 1:36:57
  Imagine a New Yorker living in Manhattan might experience even
• 1:37:01
  in the dead of night. On this particular night, my
• 1:37:05
  mother was alone in the living room with our faithful family
• 1:37:09
  golden spaniel, watching some late night TV.
• 1:37:13
  Myself and my younger. Sister were both.
• 1:37:15
  Already sound asleep, my elder brother was keeping to himself
• 1:37:20
  in his bedroom. My father was not in the picture
• 1:37:24
  at the time. A perfectly serene scene.
• 1:37:28
  It must have been about 10:00 PM, a warm summer evening, and
• 1:37:33
  our living room front door was open to allow the pleasant
• 1:37:36
  evening air inside. The first thing my mom.
• 1:37:40
  Noticed was a feeling. Of unease.
• 1:37:43
  The feeling was intense and unignorable.
• 1:37:47
  She got up. And crossed the living.
• 1:37:49
  Room to the outside porch, the dog following behind her.
• 1:37:54
  According to her account, this is when things got super weird.
• 1:37:59
  Upon exiting the house, she immediately noticed an eerie
• 1:38:02
  silence hanging over the place. It was if some huge vacuum
• 1:38:06
  cleaner had just gone and sucked every bit of ambient noise out
• 1:38:10
  of the air. No crickets chirping, of which
• 1:38:14
  there should be many in high summer, out of breath of air.
• 1:38:20
  No dog barking in the distance. Most disturbing of all, not even
• 1:38:25
  the faintest whisper of traffic anywhere near or far.
• 1:38:30
  Furthermore, the air had acquired A distinct dull
• 1:38:33
  quality, the feeling almost like your ears needed to pop, almost
• 1:38:39
  thickened, denser, making it somehow harder to draw a breath.
• 1:38:46
  Just when you think it couldn't get weirder, the dog who was
• 1:38:49
  standing close by broke into a long, drawn out sorrowful howl,
• 1:38:56
  seeming filled with immeasurable anguish.
• 1:39:00
  This was not her habit. It was highly unusual.
• 1:39:04
  She had never before exhibited such behavior and never again
• 1:39:09
  did afterwards. It must have been around this
• 1:39:13
  time, from all that I can glean, that my brother, having fallen
• 1:39:18
  asleep on his bed, was woken up not by the dogs howling, but
• 1:39:24
  from feeling cold. This was slightly unusual this
• 1:39:28
  time of year. I believe it might have even
• 1:39:31
  been the dog that woke him after all.
• 1:39:34
  Yet he only remembers waking up from the cold feeling that he
• 1:39:37
  had. He was around 11 or. 12 years
• 1:39:40
  old. Back then, he surely must have
• 1:39:43
  sensed something amiss as well, for his immediate instinct was
• 1:39:48
  not to cover himself in order to escape the cold.
• 1:39:51
  Instead, he opted to get up and go investigate, upon which he
• 1:39:57
  met my mom in the passage going in the opposite direction.
• 1:40:02
  Not a word was exchanged between them, my mom continuing on to
• 1:40:07
  her room and my brother, still somewhat befuddled, continued to
• 1:40:12
  the living room. And out onto the porch, still
• 1:40:16
  with no clear directive. I think this was when the dog
• 1:40:20
  started howling again, having moved to the center of the
• 1:40:24
  narrow front lawn that we had. Now my mom has returned, having
• 1:40:29
  fetched her Bible from the bedside table, standing
• 1:40:33
  resolutely next to my brother, though I confess to placing no
• 1:40:38
  great stock in the Bible itself as a tool of any great power,
• 1:40:43
  and I'm no supporter of the concept of religion, neither is
• 1:40:47
  my mom anymore. And maybe it was my mother's
• 1:40:50
  sheer power of faith, which is considerable.
• 1:40:54
  In any event, these are the facts.
• 1:40:56
  As it occurred, my mom wasted no time opening the Bible randomly
• 1:41:02
  and earnestly starting a heartfelt prayer.
• 1:41:06
  The exact nature of her prayer is altogether irrelevant, save
• 1:41:11
  for her deep rooted faith and its effectiveness.
• 1:41:14
  The effect was immediate and dramatic at once.
• 1:41:20
  All ambient sound and natural warmer air came back in a rush.
• 1:41:25
  It was almost an audible, tangible looshing sound.
• 1:41:29
  The dog stopped howling. She approached the humans now,
• 1:41:34
  tail wagging and panting, totally back to normal, except
• 1:41:39
  that she couldn't hide her obvious relief.
• 1:41:43
  This marked the end of the episode.
• 1:41:46
  As to the origins thereof, we have speculated over the years
• 1:41:50
  but are careful to not make any definitive accusations towards
• 1:41:54
  anyone. The person who was approached
• 1:41:56
  with a warning to lay off still to this dying day denied all
• 1:42:01
  knowledge of being involved. However, on one thing we are all
• 1:42:06
  unanimous, foul play was involved.
• 1:42:11
  An ancient form of the blackest arts.
• 1:42:15
  Genevieve, thank you as well for sharing your story with us.
• 1:42:19
  It seems like whatever this thing was caused everything to
• 1:42:22
  be still almost like some kind of time warp, which sounds very
• 1:42:28
  creepy indeed. I'm glad that your mother found
• 1:42:31
  whatever authority it was that she needed to send this thing
• 1:42:34
  away and allow everything to get back to normal for you guys.
• 1:42:39
  First, I'd like to say that I appreciate all of you guys that
• 1:42:43
  did allow me to retell your stories.
• 1:42:46
  I appreciate you having the courage to submit them as well
• 1:42:48
  because not a lot of people do and overall I hope I did your
• 1:42:53
  experiences justice if you would like to submit.
• 1:42:57
  A story for the next. Episode because I would like to
• 1:43:00
  make this a regular thing if it's possible.

  subscribe with notifications and share this around.
• 1:43:16
  Other than that, guys, like I've said, these experiences are very
• 1:43:19
  real and they do occur a lot more often than people would
• 1:43:22
  like to think. Anyways guys, I love you all.
• 1:43:26
  Thank you for being an amazing and supportive community.
• 1:43:29
  And as always, this has been Cody here at Mystery Archives.
• 1:43:33
  Remember to please stay safe out there and take care.
• 1:43:37
  I'll see you next time. The reality To some, the thought
• 1:43:46
  of spending an isolated period of time during a turbulent
• 1:43:51
  series of storms inside a lighthouse be a strange and
• 1:43:57
  seemingly scary predicament to be in.
• 1:44:00
  The waves crashing against walls, rain and hail pelting the
• 1:44:05
  windows, and the roll of Thunder surrounding you, not knowing
• 1:44:10
  when and if the weather will yield.
• 1:44:14
  Certainly it would take a mental toll on a person.
• 1:44:19
  It seems that some would break under these conditions and
• 1:44:23
  others wouldn't, and those that broke perhaps would never leave
• 1:44:29
  such a place we're. Discussing today.
• 1:44:32
  Is the Seguin Island Lighthouse located in Maine?
• 1:44:36
  And this haunted Maine lighthouse holds dark and
• 1:44:41
  chilling secrets. The Seguin Island Lighthouse is.
• 1:44:48
  Maine's second oldest lighthouse, the explorer Samuel
• 1:44:52
  D Champlin, discovered Seguin Island in 1612.
• 1:44:58
  He commented that it looked like a giant tortoise.
• 1:45:02
  The name Seguin is said by some to be a corruption of a Native
• 1:45:08
  American word that means place where the sea vomits.
• 1:45:14
  Others claim that it originates from a Native American word
• 1:45:19
  meaning hump. Either way, it's entirely
• 1:45:22
  appropriate given how it looks. In June of 178655, local
• 1:45:30
  merchants petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts for a
• 1:45:34
  lighthouse on Seguin Island. The petition noted that the
• 1:45:39
  island of Seguin seems to be designated by nature for this
• 1:45:42
  purpose, and it stated the opinion that if there was a
• 1:45:47
  light upon this island, many vessels would be saved from
• 1:45:50
  shipwreck and many persons preserved from immature deaths.
• 1:45:57
  At that time there were only three light stations on the
• 1:46:00
  coast north of Boston, at Thatcher Island, off Cape Ann,
• 1:46:06
  at Portsmouth Harbor in New Hampshire, and at Portland Head
• 1:46:11
  in Maine. It would take nearly a decade,
• 1:46:14
  but the lighthouse would be approved by then President
• 1:46:18
  George Washington. By April 1795, a site had been
• 1:46:23
  chosen and a request was posted in local newspapers for
• 1:46:28
  proposals to build an octagonal wooden lighthouse tower on the
• 1:46:34
  stone foundation and a one story wood frame dwelling.
• 1:46:39
  A newspaper notice in late October of 1796 announced that
• 1:46:44
  the buildings had been completed under the supervision of Henry
• 1:46:48
  Dearborn, who would later become the customs collector in Boston
• 1:46:53
  and Secretary of War under President Jefferson.
• 1:46:57
  Seguin's first keeper, appointed in March of 1796 at $200 per
• 1:47:04
  year, was Major John Polaricksky, A Hungarian who saw
• 1:47:10
  an account who was born in France and fought with French
• 1:47:14
  troops during the American Revolution.
• 1:47:17
  His family had been Hungarian nobility and they dated back as
• 1:47:21
  far as 16/13. He had settled and dressed in
• 1:47:26
  Maine and was their town clerk for 25 years until he applied
• 1:47:31
  for and was granted a position as a Keeper of Seguin Island
• 1:47:36
  Light in 1898. His meager salary was unfit for
• 1:47:42
  living off the island in such harsh conditions due to its
• 1:47:47
  remote exposed location and he constantly requested increases
• 1:47:52
  in his salary but was always denied.
• 1:47:56
  His brother-in-law, Christopher Pushard, served as his assistant
• 1:48:01
  with him and initially brought his wife briefly to the island
• 1:48:06
  where they had their first child, Jane.
• 1:48:09
  However, Pusher didn't get his family to stay as relations were
• 1:48:15
  strained between the two men. After serving for eight years in
• 1:48:20
  eighteen O 4, John died penniless on the island.
• 1:48:25
  For years afterward, some say his ghost has haunted the
• 1:48:29
  keepers who came after him. Known as the Old Captain, John's
• 1:48:35
  ghost would become all too familiar to some.
• 1:48:40
  One incident closer to modern times occurred after the
• 1:48:44
  lighthouse was automated in 1985.
• 1:48:48
  The supervisor in charge of the crew to move the furniture
• 1:48:52
  reported months later that he was woken up by a ghost.
• 1:48:59
  He claimed that several times as he slept inside the lighthouse,
• 1:49:04
  as rain hammered the structure, his bed began to ferociously
• 1:49:09
  shake. Waking up in a panic, he sees at
• 1:49:14
  the foot of his bed an older man dressed in oil skins, grabbing
• 1:49:22
  and shaking the bed near his feet.
• 1:49:25
  The entity asked. Him not to take the.
• 1:49:27
  Furniture away and to leave his home alone, convinced he was.
• 1:49:34
  Simply in a deep. Dream, the supervisor, decided
• 1:49:37
  not to oblige the captain's ghost the following day.
• 1:49:42
  He decided to move the furniture anyways, as he and his crew had
• 1:49:48
  been paid to complete it that day.
• 1:49:50
  All the furniture had been successfully loaded onto a boat
• 1:49:54
  which was being lowered into the water, but as it lowered,
• 1:49:59
  suddenly the cable mysteriously snapped.
• 1:50:03
  The ship and all of its contents fell and would spill onto the
• 1:50:08
  rocks below, smashing everything into pieces.
• 1:50:13
  In the years since, many responsible and credible
• 1:50:16
  volunteer caretakers who have signed on to help upkeep the
• 1:50:20
  lighthouse, along with the occasional tourists, have
• 1:50:25
  reported various sightings of multiple entities as well as
• 1:50:30
  experiencing paranormal events. Items have been moved inside the
• 1:50:35
  house or tossed from shelves and onto the floor, mysterious cold
• 1:50:41
  spots seem to appear at random, tools would often disappear as
• 1:50:48
  if someone or something was playing a trick on people, and
• 1:50:54
  doors have been observed opening and closing.
• 1:50:59
  Oddly, when the caretakers move the furniture, it is sometimes
• 1:51:03
  restored to its original spot the following day, as if
• 1:51:07
  something invisible had moved it all back.
• 1:51:12
  Some have reported hearing coughing from an unseen force,
• 1:51:16
  as well as whispers and the sighting of an older man dressed
• 1:51:22
  in oil skins. The Old Captain isn't the only
• 1:51:26
  entity that seemingly dwells the grounds of the Seguin
• 1:51:30
  Lighthouse. This following story is one of
• 1:51:34
  legend and has been very difficult to find documentation
• 1:51:39
  that it is perhaps the most tragic incident that has ever
• 1:51:42
  occurred on the island. According to the legend, around
• 1:51:47
  the mid 1800s, a caretaker. Or keeper of.
• 1:51:51
  The Beacon, newly married, brought his young wife out with
• 1:51:55
  him to tend to the light. Not used to the isolation of the
• 1:52:00
  island, his wife quickly became increasingly bored and
• 1:52:05
  depressed, constantly complaining about not having
• 1:52:09
  anything to do, thinking it would occupy.
• 1:52:12
  Her and. Keep her mind off the boredom.
• 1:52:15
  Her husband ordered a piano and asked it to be brought to the
• 1:52:19
  island just before winter would set in.
• 1:52:23
  Upon its delivery, he proudly presented it to her after
• 1:52:28
  numerous attempts to get the piano up the side of the rocky
• 1:52:33
  ledge. Once it was up, it was carefully
• 1:52:38
  hauled into the keeper's house with the hands of many friends.
• 1:52:44
  His wife was delighted, but she couldn't play without sheet
• 1:52:48
  music. Fortunately, though, only one
• 1:52:52
  song had come with the piano. It was a simple Scott Joplin
• 1:52:57
  tune. Soon afterward, when winter had
• 1:53:01
  set in, the island was frozen. No other deliveries, despite
• 1:53:07
  their best efforts, could come in isolated.
• 1:53:12
  More than ever. Together, the man's wife would
• 1:53:16
  continually play her piano, playing the same song over and
• 1:53:23
  over and over again. The isolation in constant
• 1:53:29
  playing of the same tune over countless hours and days began
• 1:53:34
  to take their toll. The husband of the couple began
• 1:53:39
  to lose his sanity finally. Reaching his breaking.
• 1:53:44
  Point. He had had enough.
• 1:53:47
  He took an axe and with a fit of fury, chopped the piano into
• 1:53:53
  pieces following the outburst. Once the shock had subsided, his
• 1:54:00
  wife bitterly complained he would then turn on and attack
• 1:54:06
  her recently. Chopping her with the.
• 1:54:10
  Axe. Within hours, it seemed that the
• 1:54:14
  man had finally come back to his senses, but realizing the
• 1:54:19
  horrendous act he had committed, he decided to turn the axe on
• 1:54:25
  himself today. Some say that.
• 1:54:30
  On the Kennebec River during foggy nights, you can hear the
• 1:54:35
  ghost of the lighthouse keeper's wife playing the same ghostly
• 1:54:40
  tune on her phantom piano out over the waves on those still
• 1:54:47
  calm evenings. Many Mariners and former keepers
• 1:54:53
  have claimed to have heard some kind of piano tune playing over
• 1:54:56
  the waters as well these three. Ghosts have been.
• 1:55:02
  Claimed to have been seen or their presence felt by numerous
• 1:55:08
  visitors and volunteers over the decades.
• 1:55:12
  Among other entities, some of which I was unable to find
• 1:55:17
  origin information on is the one of a young girl and her story
• 1:55:24
  goes like this. Moving on to the island with her
• 1:55:28
  family in the early 1900s as her father took the position as a
• 1:55:34
  keeper at the lighthouse. She was the only child of her
• 1:55:38
  two parents. The island is isolated, lonely
• 1:55:45
  and cold. There are no other.
• 1:55:47
  Children to play with. Or much to do for a young child
• 1:55:52
  to stay entertained. One of the activities.
• 1:55:56
  She tried to. Preoccupy herself with was
• 1:55:59
  throwing rocks down into the water from the Cliff side near
• 1:56:04
  the lighthouse. One unfortunate day, as the
• 1:56:09
  rocks near the edge were slippery from the mist of the
• 1:56:13
  fog surrounding the island, the poor young lady would slip and
• 1:56:20
  meet her demise, falling onto the rocks and waters below.
• 1:56:26
  It is said that she still lingers on the island and does
• 1:56:30
  everything she can to entertain herself and interact with those
• 1:56:35
  who happened to visit her forever home.
• 1:56:39
  She has been witnessed by many running playfully around the
• 1:56:42
  gardens, laughing and smiling, playing hide and seek with
• 1:56:48
  visitors for all eternity. She's been seen not.
• 1:56:52
  Only by visitors. To Sea Gwen Island, but also by
• 1:56:56
  previous keepers who called the lighthouse their home.
• 1:57:00
  She's been witnessed running up and down the stairs of the
• 1:57:04
  lighthouse, waving to her onlookers, tapping people's
• 1:57:09
  backs, only to have them turn around to catch a fleeting
• 1:57:13
  glimpse of her small feet running away and phasing out of
• 1:57:17
  her vision. There are a few things I would
• 1:57:21
  like to mention before we go. Considering the location, I
• 1:57:26
  wonder if the lighthouse or the island is indeed haunted.
• 1:57:32
  Could it have perhaps started with the misfortunes of the late
• 1:57:35
  captain? Or was it something else,
• 1:57:40
  perhaps a battle of sorts where a tragedy occurred?
• 1:57:44
  There. Or near there tainting the land.
• 1:57:49
  It's hard to say, but with the age of the lighthouse and given
• 1:57:54
  what we know about its history, I wouldn't be surprised if
• 1:57:58
  spirits still dwell there. Maybe it is a beacon.
• 1:58:02
  For souls. As much as it is for ships, and
• 1:58:07
  this isn't a sponsorship, but I wanted to provide the following
• 1:58:11
  details because I think it's very important to fund and
• 1:58:15
  preserve history whenever possible.
• 1:58:18
  Seguin Island is a little over 2 miles offshore from the mouth of
• 1:58:23
  the Kennebec River near Fort Popham and Popham Beach State
• 1:58:28
  Park. The lighthouse grounds and
• 1:58:31
  museum are open to the public and lighthouse tours are
• 1:58:34
  provided. During the summer, the Fish and
• 1:58:37
  Trips Boat, also called the Seagueen Island Ferry, provides
• 1:58:42
  daily 30 minutes services during the summer season to ferry
• 1:58:46
  people to the island. And for those who want to try
• 1:58:51
  and investigate the lighthouse, there are overnight rustic
• 1:58:55
  accommodations available for members of the Friends of
• 1:58:59
  Seagueen Island. You can contact the
• 1:59:03
  friendsofseagueenisland@seagueenisland.org. I would encourage all of you to
• 1:59:09
  go and experience places for yourselves whenever possible,
• 1:59:14
  especially historic places to help preserve them for future
• 1:59:19
  generations. But I will warn you, be careful
• 1:59:25
  and be respectful because if you aren't either, you might just
• 1:59:30
  become the newest permanent resident of the isolated island.
• 1:59:38
  Thank you all SO. Much for watching this news.
• 1:59:41
  Episode while I investigate cases for other videos,
• 1:59:45
  sometimes it's fun for me to go and check out more historic
• 1:59:48
  places and learn about the stories surrounding them.
• 1:59:53
