The Terrifying Haunting Of Morgan Knudsen - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Case Revisited + Updates! · Mystery Archives Episodes

0:03
So 2. Years ago I covered a case that
0:06
truly sent a chill down my spine and this was The Haunting of
0:11
Morgan Conidson, based out of Canada.
0:15
The story itself is harrowing and I've been wanting to revisit
0:19
this case for quite some time to fix some of the mistakes of my
0:22
original video. Information wise and well,
0:26
footage wise and all of the rest.
0:29
I'm doing my best to do this moving forward to properly tell
0:33
these stories as best as I can. O First things first, I have
0:37
fixed showing Calgary instead of Edmonton with me not being
0:41
Canadian obviously. I had no idea for one that there
0:44
was any kind of rivalry between them whatsoever.
0:48
And on top of that I think it was initially misnamed stock
0:52
footage from the company that I was using then for my B roll, so
0:56
my bad on that. But that has been corrected.
0:59
God only knows how many comments I received just from that one
1:03
particular mistake. I do pronounce Morgan's last
1:06
name properly. I know a lot of people tend to
1:08
not think so, but I've watched several interviews with her and
1:12
a couple different shows containing her work and that's
1:16
how I've heard her pronounced. So that's how I've pronounced
1:19
it. I did also re record and replace
1:22
my previous friend's narration within the story.
1:25
I'll be it. At that time I was, I was really
1:28
just trying to be a supportive friend, give her some exposure.
1:32
But our narration styles are just very, very different and a
1:37
lot of you found that with her parts being included that it was
1:40
jarring and it was taking you out of the version of the story.
1:44
So I went ahead and re recorded those and those have been fixed.
1:48
Lastly, I've added a couple new details that I found through
1:51
additional research and I've cleaned up the original audio
1:55
quite a bit, added some new audio and yeah, I hope you guys
2:00
enjoy. So let's begin.
2:02
When we move out on our own, oftentimes there's a newfound
2:06
sense of freedom, feelings of uncertainty and happiness.
2:12
Happiness that we've reached the next steps in our long journey,
2:15
which is truly just beginning. But what would you do if your
2:19
first residence was haunted? But all that excitement and
2:22
anticipation give way to fear, anxiety and terror.
2:27
This is the story of a woman whose experiences would come to
2:31
shape the rest of her life just as it was starting.
2:34
And you'll come to see that when an entity reveals itself, it is
2:38
almost always a facade of its true form.
2:42
This is the untold story of a haunting in Edmonton, Canada,
2:46
better known as the Mortgage Konitzen Case.
2:49
And this is another story you won't want to listen to in the
2:53
dark. Edmonton Canada, once a trading
3:07
post, now turned modern day metropolis known as the Gateway
3:12
to the north. But among the traffic,
3:15
skyscrapers and bustling civilians, there lies other
3:19
gateways within the city. Gateways to dark and unholy
3:24
realms. Our story begins in February of
3:28
2003 in Edmonton. 20 year old Morgan Knudsen has finally found
3:34
a home of her own. Six months earlier, her parents
3:38
had divorced and had both left the province, leaving Morgan on
3:42
her own. She's never really felt like
3:44
she's belonged. Surfing couches and temporary
3:48
arrangements falling through were beginning to take their
3:51
toll. After applying in multiple
3:54
places during this time, she's finally landed a job at a
3:58
computer tech support center located within the city.
4:02
After a short time there, she met someone who would become one
4:06
of her best friends, a man named Bob Levesque.
4:10
His outgoing and friendly personality just clicked with
4:13
Morgan, and from the moment they met on the floor of their job,
4:17
the two almost instantly became friends.
4:21
As they began to get to know each other.
4:23
They would confide in one another, and it just so happened
4:26
that their circumstances meant that they could help each other
4:29
out. Morgan was sick of surfing
4:32
couches and relying on her friends, feeling like she was a
4:36
burden, and Bob, unfortunately, was going through a divorce and
4:40
a custody battle during this time and needed a new place to
4:44
live alone. Neither of them could afford to
4:47
live on their own, but together they can make the best of their
4:51
circumstances. So they agreed to lift each
4:54
other up and before too long would find an apartment that
4:58
seemed to be the perfect fit. However, as will come to see as
5:03
their story is written, it's far from it.
5:06
The two roommates were very similar in the fact that they
5:10
wore their hearts on their sleeves, so as they unpacked and
5:13
got settled into their new apartment, anything and
5:16
everything that was special found a place, whether it was on
5:20
a shelf, on a counter, or on a wall.
5:25
As they unpacked, Morgan couldn't help but notice the
5:28
amount of strange looking candles in one particular area
5:31
of the living room. As she asked Bob about them, he
5:35
would tell her that he was a Wiccan and that each candle held
5:39
its own significance, such as one represented protection and
5:43
another love. Being agnostic, Morgan didn't
5:47
care what Bob decided to pray to, but more so just found this
5:51
type of religious practice fascinating.
5:54
She enjoyed the physical representation of the emotions
5:57
that she herself hadn't felt in months, that feeling of
6:01
belonging, being protected from the outside storm, and the love
6:05
of family. After explaining this to Morgan,
6:09
Bob would then officially hand her a key to the apartment and
6:12
proclaim the space as their home, a moment of significance
6:16
for each of them. Together, they would feel
6:18
excited and eager to see what the future held.
6:22
Several days later, as Bob and Morgan returned from a trip to
6:25
the grocery store and make the trek up to the 4th floor of the
6:29
complex, which is where their apartment was located.
6:32
As they approached the door and start to unlock it, it's as if
6:36
someone is on the other side holding the locking mechanism.
6:41
The two then begin to hear movement coming from inside the
6:44
apartment, the sounds of shuffling and footsteps.
6:48
Morgan rushes down the stairs and outside to check if she can
6:51
see anyone inside their apartment from the outside.
6:54
As she rushes out the door of the complex and out to the curb
6:58
to look, she sees nothing. She quickly makes her way back
7:02
into the complex and then back up the four flights of stairs to
7:05
where her and Bob's apartment is located.
7:08
Only when she gets there, there's no Bob to be seen.
7:11
The front door is wide open. As she approaches it, she's soon
7:16
startled by a man, thankfully, it's Bob.
7:20
He explains that he was able to get the door open somehow, and
7:24
that he had heard shuffling noise coming from the apartment
7:26
next door as well. But after Morgan explains that
7:29
the next door apartment is vacant, Bob quickly dismisses
7:33
their experience, saying that old buildings tend to creak and
7:37
moan as they settle. And we probably heard nothing.
7:41
Although perplexed, Morgan simply accepts this explanation,
7:45
grabs the groceries from the floor and heads inside.
7:49
Later that night, as the winter moon hangs in the sky, Morgan is
7:53
suddenly woken up by the sound of banging coming from the wall
7:57
next to her head. Thinking Bob was awake and
8:00
stumbling around, she gets up and makes her way towards the
8:04
living room. As she goes to ask him if
8:06
everything is all right given the hour, she walks past his
8:10
room where she finds him asleep. Standing still to listen for the
8:15
noises that had woken her up, she hears nothing.
8:19
Once again unsure of what to make of the situation, she is
8:23
unnerved, but eventually makes her way back to her room and
8:27
back to bed. Roughly a week after this night,
8:31
the two friends host a moving in party with several of their
8:34
colleagues from work, hoping to cut loose with a few glasses of
8:38
wine, some home cooked dinner and some company, they spend the
8:42
night joking and laughing. As the night progresses, a
8:47
mutual friend of theirs by the name of Kate asks if anyone had
8:52
any dirt to dish, to which Morgan replied with I haven't
8:56
been seeing anyone, but at night I keep hearing footsteps coming
9:02
from my roommate's bedroom, so I'm just curious who the lucky
9:06
lady is. Bob, although laughing with the
9:10
group, denies seeing anyone, especially given his
9:14
circumstances. He wasn't trying to see anyone
9:17
romantically, he was more concerned about seeing his two
9:21
sons that we hadn't seen in over a year and a half at this point.
9:25
And his heart's emotions were still too raw following the
9:29
fallout that he had had with his wife, resulting in the divorce
9:33
proceedings. The group soon moves on with the
9:36
night and eventually all would leave except for the hosts,
9:40
Morgan and Bob. As the two clean up after the
9:44
celebration, Bob asks Morgan, were you serious about hearing
9:49
footsteps at night? To which she replied, yeah, I
9:53
keep hearing them, but it could just be my mind playing tricks
9:57
on me. After a moment of silence, Bob
10:00
replies with No, it's not your mind playing tricks on you.
10:06
I've been hearing things too. And the other night I I saw
10:10
something that I can't explain. Concerned now, Morgan would ask
10:16
him to elaborate. Bob would go on to say that he
10:19
believed he saw a spirit in his room.
10:21
The other night. He was woken up out of a sound
10:25
sleep by the flickering of a light.
10:27
Thinking that it was storming outside, he wiped his eyes only
10:31
to see the figure of a small boy.
10:33
When he opened them again, the boy was younger, resembling the
10:38
age of an 8 or 9 year old. Upon asking the boy who he was,
10:44
he was told that his name was Joseph.
10:47
Ever since that night, Joseph had been visiting Bob almost
10:52
nightly to talk with him. Bob, however, had been keeping
10:56
this to himself until now. Upon hearing these details,
11:02
Morgan was concerned, but didn't think at 1st that it was
11:06
something paranormal. She believed it could be Bob's
11:10
subconscious inventing a delusion due to the stress of
11:13
him not being able to see his two boys during the situation he
11:17
found himself in with a divorce and now an ongoing custody
11:21
battle. But still, she couldn't fully
11:24
remove the happenings in her own mind from the door being locked
11:29
and not wanting to open to hearing the banging sounds and
11:33
footsteps. She thought, what if the two
11:36
were truly related somehow? As she pondered those thoughts,
11:41
Bob had stepped out of the room briefly but would return with
11:45
one of his candles. Wiccans often believe that
11:49
certain objects can help and strengthen their prayers, and
11:53
this candle in particular was supposed to help focus the
11:56
energy of the home and bring peace and harmony to all who
12:00
dwelled within it. So by lighting it, he believed
12:05
that it would help Joseph move on and also help calm Morgan's
12:09
nerves. So, focusing his intent, he does
12:13
just that. The following morning, as the
12:18
two wake up and begin to get ready for the day, Bob heads out
12:22
early since he has a doctor's appointment while Morgan
12:25
prepares to head into the office.
12:28
As she heads towards the key holder, things in hand for the
12:31
day, she realizes that her keys aren't there.
12:34
As she sets her items down and begins to search, and she feels
12:38
the hair on the back of her neck start to raise up.
12:42
She glances up from the couch she had been rummaging through
12:45
to see the slightest glimpse of a small boy out of the corner of
12:49
her eye. But as she realizes his
12:51
existence, as she fully focuses on his image, he is gone.
12:57
However, glancing back over to the key rack, there in their
13:01
usual spot are her keys, which were not there previously.
13:07
Up until this point. Always having been more of a
13:09
skeptic than a believer, Morgan has no way of explaining this
13:13
strangeness. She knows what she saw, and she
13:17
knows for a fact that her keys were indeed not there
13:19
previously. But just who or what had taken
13:22
them and put them back? And just who or what was this
13:27
Joseph? The day would come and go, and
13:31
Bob wouldn't show up for work. As Morgan showed back up to the
13:35
apartment in the evening, she would find him near his shrine
13:38
of sorts, struggling to light one of his candles.
13:42
It was, in fact, the same one that he had lit previously to
13:46
bring Harmony to the home. Morgan would also notice that
13:50
almost all of his candles were lit, but this one in particular,
13:54
the Wick, simply would not ignite.
13:57
Bob, however, seemed unfazed. He kept trying to light it over
14:02
and over again. As he did this, he would tell
14:05
Morgan that he was diagnosed with cancer that day, blood
14:09
cancer, and that's why he didn't go into work.
14:13
Devastated by this news, Morgan tries to comfort her friend but
14:18
is unexpectedly rejected. Her easygoing and friendly
14:22
roommate seems angry and bitter. Hurt by this development but not
14:27
wanting to make this about her, Morgan simply swallows her
14:31
feelings and tries to be as supportive as she can.
14:34
But Bob simply just wants to be left alone.
14:37
So after failing to light the last candle, he would leave the
14:41
living room and head into his room and shut the door behind
14:45
him, perhaps to continue to come to terms with this devastating
14:49
news after hours apart. As Morgan prepares for bed, she
14:54
passes by Bob's room, door still closed, and oddly, she hears
14:59
what sounds like two people whispering inside.
15:03
But despite this, she talks through the door to Bob, telling
15:07
him that she's sorry, that she wants to be there for him.
15:11
She is only met with rage. Bob screams at her through the
15:15
door to leave him alone, and a banging noise emanates from
15:19
behind the door, startling Morgan.
15:22
As she backs up, she sees a black figure in the living room.
15:27
As she apprehensively approaches it, it darts through a wall with
15:31
incredible quickness. Its movement extinguishes the
15:35
flames of Bob's candles. Morgan, both upset and scared,
15:41
now has no one to talk to. Bob has isolated himself within
15:45
his room, and there was no one else available at this moment to
15:50
quell the sea of emotions. She very quietly makes her way
15:54
back to her room. She attempts to sleep for the
15:57
night. As she tosses and turns, her
16:00
mind begins to ponder and process these new developments.
16:04
It seems like whatever force that dwelt within the apartment
16:08
was getting stronger, and perhaps it was.
16:13
Over the last several months, as Morgan Knudsen has been working
16:17
at a computer Technical Support center, she is met and become
16:20
acquainted with many new people and has made many new friends.
16:25
One such a person was becoming a budding love interest and his
16:30
name was Courtney Clappen. Following the night of the
16:33
apparition revealing itself to Morgan, and Morgan also becoming
16:37
aware of Bob's cancer diagnosis, she finally decided to take
16:41
Courtney up on his date proposal, something that she had
16:44
been turning down for quite some time.
16:47
The two would go out for dinner and drinks that evening after
16:50
work, and as they enjoyed each other's company, Morgan began to
16:53
confide in Courtney about some of the strange things that have
16:57
been happening in her and Bob's apartment.
17:00
Courtney believed Morgan thought she was experiencing something,
17:03
but figured that there had to be a scientific explanation, that
17:07
the paranormal was nothing more than old superstitions and
17:10
ignorance. He proposed that he go with her
17:13
to the apartment, that he would disprove her ghosts, that he
17:17
could even get that unlightable candle to ignite.
17:20
So figuring she had nothing to lose, Morgan agrees.
17:24
After the small drive, the two find themselves inside the
17:27
apartment where Courtney proceeds to begin lighting all
17:31
the candles on the shrine. He is successful lighting all of
17:34
them until he reaches the one that Morgan had mentioned would
17:38
not light, although she didn't tell him which one it had been.
17:42
He tries for several seconds until suddenly it does manage to
17:47
light, but what happens next shocks them both.
17:51
The candle suddenly begins to spark and the flame itself
17:55
shoots out from the top of the candle several feet, something
17:59
which should be impossible. It then goes out.
18:02
The two sit there in disbelief when the silence is broken by
18:06
Bob walking into the living room.
18:08
However, he doesn't say anything, he just glares at
18:12
them, simply walks away. In the months to come, Morgan
18:17
and Courtney would begin dating, and although Morgan tries to be
18:20
there for her friend, Bob seems to be losing himself.
18:24
He no longer speaks to her, she barely sees him, and he just
18:28
spends all of his time inside his room talking to Joseph.
18:33
And more disturbingly, she can hear both of them.
18:36
It is not just Bob talking to himself one night, she
18:41
distinctly hears him say, You always know just what to say
18:45
when I need to hear it. This sad trend would continue
18:49
for quite some time until 1 morning when Morgan wakes up to
18:53
get ready for work. She is greeted by Bob, who's
18:57
already dressed and cooking breakfast.
19:00
Shocked but excited to see an inkling of her old friend back
19:03
to his normal self, she hugs and greets him.
19:06
The Bob not only seems normal again, but he seems elated.
19:10
The legal proceedings have finally allowed him to be able
19:13
to see his boys again, so he tells her that after work, he's
19:17
headed to Saskatchewan for the weekend for some much needed
19:20
family time. Being both happy for her friend
19:23
and for their relationship, hopefully returning to what it
19:26
used to be, Morgan wishes him a safe trip.
19:30
As Bob leaves the apartment, she makes her way to the restroom to
19:34
take her morning shower. As she draws the water,
19:37
undresses, and begins to bathe herself, Unbeknownst to her, the
19:42
door to the bathroom slowly begins to creak open.
19:47
As she massages her scalp with shampoo, she hears what sounds
19:51
like whispering coming from behind the shower curtain.
19:54
As her eyes dart towards the direction of the sound, she
19:58
begins to hear dark and sinister laughing emanating behind the
20:03
curtain. Then, as she begins to panic,
20:06
she sees gnarled and grotesque looking hands press onto the
20:11
curtain and rush towards her. She is reduced to a soaking pile
20:16
of terror in the corner of the tub and then whatever the
20:20
horrific presence was disappeared.
20:24
Although the incident only lasts seconds, it feels like an
20:27
eternity. Pulling back the curtain to
20:30
confirm that whatever it was was gone, Morgan now comes to terms
20:34
with her encounter. She didn't know what this force
20:37
was, but she did know that it wanted her to be very, very
20:42
scared. And she also knew deep down in
20:45
the core of her being that this thing was not a child.
20:49
After gathering her bearings, she felt like she had to talk to
20:52
Bob. So rushing into the call center
20:55
that they both worked at, she sees him and begins divulging
20:59
her experience. Placing the customer he was
21:01
chatting with on hold, Bob surprisingly goes on the
21:05
defensive. He tells Morgan that there's no
21:08
way that whatever she experienced was Joseph, that he
21:12
was just a little boy. The lack of support from her
21:15
friend and roommate seems to break something within Morgan.
21:18
She becomes frantic and angry as she storms away from Bob's desk.
21:24
Her boyfriend, Courtney, rushes to her aid, however, far from
21:28
being a supportive pillar to lean on, he tells her that he
21:31
overheard everything she said, that she needed to calm down,
21:36
that she's believing in something that simply doesn't
21:38
exist. This is the last thing Morgan
21:41
needs to hear in this moment, so without a further word, she
21:45
leaves the call center. She then contemplates her next
21:48
move and decides to reach out to the only person who she thinks
21:52
will understand where she's coming from and what she's
21:55
dealing with, her friend Stephanie.
21:59
Upon reaching Stephanie's house, the first words out of Morgan's
22:02
mouth are I'm scared. And who can blame her after
22:07
dealing with everything that she had been through thus far.
22:11
Knowing that Morgan felt as if her home was being invaded by
22:14
something that she couldn't fight and what having a home in
22:18
the 1st place finally meant to her, Stephanie comforts her
22:22
friend and then suggests something after doing some EVP.
22:28
After doing some research, she suggests that the two attempt to
22:32
capture Joseph on a recording to capture an EVP of the phenomena
22:37
to prove his existence and try to come up with a plan of
22:41
action. Neither of the two have done any
22:45
work prior to this. An apprehensive at first but not
22:50
seeing any other option, Morgan agrees.
22:54
The two then drive to Morgan's apartment and with the
22:57
assistance of one of the neighbors who was a mutual
23:00
friend, they're able to get Stephanie up the four flights of
23:03
stairs since she was disabled and wheel Bear Town since she
23:08
was disabled and wheelchair bound.
23:12
After reaching the top and heading inside the apartment
23:16
with a digital recorder in hopes of capturing.
23:20
After reaching the top and heading inside the apartment
23:24
with a digital recorder in hopes of capturing something useful to
23:28
possibly show someone, someone who could have the expertise to
23:33
assist them further, they make their way towards Morgan's room.
23:39
Within a few minutes of being inside, they hear something
23:42
shatter in the living room. Walking to see what it could
23:46
have been, they come across a statue that Morgan had first put
23:50
up when her and Bob had moved in.
23:53
A statue that symbolized just how much having a home really
23:57
mentor it that laid in pieces on the floor.
24:03
Morgan believed this to be some kind of a challenge from the
24:06
entity, almost a provocation of sorts.
24:12
So instead of starting in her room, he decided to begin their
24:16
recording there in the living room.
24:19
And as the recorder did its job, Morgan began to ask her
24:23
questions. These questions ranged from how
24:28
old are you, what are you, where did you come from, why are you
24:34
here, and why are you targeting me?
24:38
Among many, the process of trying to make contact and
24:42
record a response is painstaking, and after hours of
24:46
attempts after playing the recording back, they received no
24:51
responses. At this point, it was very late
24:56
and although nervous about sleeping in the apartment,
25:00
Morgan had the company of her friend, so the two decided to
25:04
turn in for the night. This decision was also made
25:08
since the mutual friend who had helped carry Stephanie up the
25:11
stairs earlier in the day was also long since asleep for the
25:15
night. After settling into Morgan's
25:18
bed, the women drift off to dreamland, and something
25:23
spectral was watching them sleep.
25:28
Around 3:00 AM, both Morgan and Stephanie are woken up by the
25:32
sounds of footsteps in the living room.
25:35
At first they thought it was Bob, but Morgan knew that Bob
25:38
had been looking forward to seeing his sons more than
25:41
anything, and unless something catastrophic had taken place,
25:45
there would be no reason for him to be home, let alone at 3:00
25:48
AM. As Morgan turned towards the
25:51
door to go and figure out just what was happening, the door to
25:54
her room opened by itself. The atmosphere now grew tense.
26:00
Morgan was then suddenly thrown backwards, and the door, which
26:05
had creaked open on its own, now slammed shut.
26:09
Stephanie frantically called out in the darkness, asking what was
26:13
happening. Due to her disability, she was
26:16
unable to move and was facing away from the door.
26:20
Morgan could barely eke out a sentence as the door opened and
26:24
slammed and a dark, sinister laugh could be heard throughout
26:29
the room, as well as the sound of heavy footsteps stomping
26:33
around. Not knowing what else to do,
26:37
Morgan asked Stephanie to call Courtney since she was the
26:40
closest to the phone. However, upon calling, no one
26:44
answered. The two of them were now
26:47
isolated, and Morgan knew that if she left her friend there to
26:50
go and get outside help, that this thing, this force could
26:54
lock doors and was feeding upon their fear.
26:58
It would be hard telling what it would do to Stephanie.
27:01
So together they seemingly had no choice other than to brave
27:04
the storm. Terrified for the rest of the
27:07
night until Daybreak. Around 6:00 AM, the two sat in
27:12
Morgan's room were held captive by this force, which continued
27:17
to open and slam doors and what sounded like cabinets, as well
27:21
as ransacking the living room. At dawn, a call breaks the
27:25
silence of the apartment. It's Courtney.
27:29
After a brief explanation, he heads over with his help and the
27:33
three of them are able to leave. After dropping Stephanie back
27:36
off at her house, the couple begins to talk.
27:40
Courtney is still not convinced that the two of them really
27:43
experienced anything, but Regardless, he suggests that
27:47
Morgan leave the apartment for several days to clear her head.
27:51
However, conveniently, even after finding out that she had
27:55
no other options besides him and Stephanie to stay with, he
27:59
doesn't initially offer her solace at his place.
28:02
Morgan, despite this, in the unfolding situation of dealing
28:06
with the paranormal force that was now plaguing her life,
28:09
refused to give up her home, her sanctuary, to anyone, spirit or
28:15
flesh and bone. She decides to go back.
28:19
Upon arriving at the apartment with Courtney, the two walk in
28:22
and are greeted by Bob in the living room.
28:25
He seems upbeat and certainly more at peace.
28:28
The trip to see his boys must have gone well.
28:31
He explains that on his trip, he picked up a blessed candle that
28:35
should help with things. Morgan, who had kept the digital
28:38
recorder, remembered reading that changes in temperatures,
28:42
even the striking of a match, could potentially trigger
28:46
spiritual activity. So she decides to begin
28:49
recording the interaction. Bob then, before the two of
28:52
them, lights the blessed candle and then takes its flame and
28:56
puts it to the Wick of the candle that was to help focus
28:59
the energy of the home and bring peace and harmony.
29:02
The very same candle that Morgan and Courtney had attempted to
29:05
light and whose flame had surged and left them with unanswered
29:10
questions. It lit normally.
29:13
This interaction made Courtney question just what was taking
29:16
place. As Morgan began to explain to
29:19
Bob what had happened the night before, he seemed completely
29:22
uninterested. He simply kept smiling at his
29:25
blessed candle as he carried it throughout the apartment.
29:30
Courtney would later say that the Bob I knew from the
29:33
workplace had a completely different personality.
29:36
The Bob I encountered that day at the apartment was very odd
29:40
and honestly creepy. The whole thing was strange.
29:44
As Bob makes his way back into the living room and closes his
29:47
door, the couple sits down at a table.
29:50
Morgan explains that she had recorded the interaction and
29:53
wanted to see if she had captured anything.
29:56
Playing back the audio. At first, they don't hear
29:59
anything out of the ordinary, but as Bob ignited the original
30:03
candle with the new 1A, horrific and unearthly scream came
30:08
through the speakers. This scream not only scared
30:11
Morgan, but it also bewildered Courtney because he was there
30:16
and he knew that there was no way of faking that.
30:19
The scream also served as a confirmation to Morgan that she
30:22
most certainly was not dealing with the spirit of a little boy.
30:27
Assessing her options, she begins to research who she could
30:30
reach out to. Having seen a program a while
30:33
back on TV, she remembers the name Lorraine Warren.
30:38
It takes some time, but she is able to get in contact with
30:41
Lorraine. Upon explaining the situation to
30:45
her, the descriptions send alarm bells ringing for Lorraine.
30:49
She knows immediately that this spirit is indeed not the one of
30:52
a little boy, but rather that is put this up as a facade in order
30:57
to gain entry into the apartment and into their lives, and that
31:01
Morgan is not the primary target, but Bob.
31:05
She believes that Bob's major shift in personality and
31:09
obsession with the entity indicates that he is under
31:12
demonic possession. She also believes that this took
31:15
place due to the entity exploiting Bob's vulnerability
31:18
and it took the form of a child since Bob was so desperate to
31:22
spend time with his own children.
31:24
She also tells Morgan that her only hope at this point is to
31:28
spiritually fortify herself for protection and try and convince
31:32
Bob, the real Bob, that he has to renounce Joseph and fight,
31:38
and that if he refuses to renounce this entity that
31:41
ultimately there would be a tragedy within the home.
31:45
The call would last for several hours.
31:48
Courtney, finally convinced that something spiritual was indeed
31:51
taking place, finally offers Morgan the opportunity to come
31:55
and stay at his home to get away from it all.
31:58
But she didn't want to give up on Bob, so upon Courtney
32:02
departing for the night, Morgan turns around to face the horror
32:06
within. As she slowly walks back into
32:08
the apartment and towards Bob's room, she realizes that his door
32:12
is now open and Bob is within a circle of candles upon the
32:16
floor. Seemingly within a trance, she
32:20
tells him. I know how I can make things
32:23
right again, but we have to get a priest.
32:26
As the words leave her lips, they're met with an angry no
32:30
from Bob, and for a split second, although Bob is
32:33
seething, she sees a glimpse of her old friend.
32:37
But just for that small sliver of time, although reluctant no
32:41
doubt, Bob agrees to accept her help.
32:45
The following morning, she drives him to a local Catholic
32:48
Church in hopes of getting assistance there at the
32:51
recommendation of Lorraine Warren.
32:53
However, upon seeing the Church, Bob refuses to go in.
32:58
Losing hope, but still determined, Morgan continues
33:02
onward and meets with the priest there.
33:04
At the priest's recommendation, she's told to display holy
33:08
objects throughout the home in an effort to repel any evil that
33:12
could be dwelling there and to recite the prayer of Saint
33:15
Benedict, the patron St. of the poisoned and poisoned.
33:19
He believed Bob to be given the story that he was told.
33:23
The priest wanted to assist further, but without the
33:26
permission of Bob and an in person meeting, he would not be
33:29
able to do so. Later that evening, Morgan
33:33
begins to place crucifixes throughout the hallways of the
33:36
apartment home. As she toils away, hanging each
33:40
one with care and intent, she is soon greeted by Bob.
33:44
He stepped out of the shadows at the end of the hallway.
33:48
She had not heard him previously leave his room.
33:51
He begins to scream at her, demanding that she take the
33:54
crucifixes down. The person she sees, she no
33:58
longer recognizes as she stands her ground, Bob staring at the
34:04
cross suddenly begins to weep, and for another brief moment,
34:09
the Bob she once knew seems to come through once again.
34:13
He explains through the tears that he knows that something
34:16
isn't right, that it's not the cancer diagnosis, that there's
34:20
something dark and angry residing within him, but that he
34:24
doesn't know what to do As Morgan drops her guard to try
34:27
and comfort her friend, explaining to him that maybe if
34:31
he just told Joseph no for one night that perhaps they could
34:35
start to fix this. When these words left her lips,
34:39
there was another shift within Bob.
34:41
He went back into an angry state, yelling that she needed
34:45
to stop talking about things that she knew nothing about as
34:49
he storms off, headed back to his room.
34:51
Morgan and tears herself now heads into the kitchen.
34:55
As she attempts to gather herself, all of the dishes in
34:59
the cabinets begin to shake. Suddenly the cabinet flies open
35:04
and a plate is thrown by an unseen force.
35:07
It hits Morgan in the head, cutting her open.
35:11
Screaming, she flees the apartment.
35:14
She would find solace with Courtney that night.
35:17
As she tosses and turns trying to sleep, she can't help but
35:21
feel obligated to Bob, and she wants to try and follow through
35:25
what she had discussed with the priest and Lorraine Warren in
35:28
hopes of freeing him from whatever this entity was.
35:32
Several nights later, she finally convinces court to help
35:36
her by reciting the prayer of Saint Benedict within the
35:39
apartment. As the two sit down at a table
35:42
in the living room and begin praying, the table itself begins
35:46
to shake. As they deepen in their efforts,
35:50
almost everything around them is in motion.
35:53
Objects are shaking and floating, moving of their own
35:57
accord. They repeat the prayer multiple
36:00
times and soon become too frightened to continue given the
36:04
escalation and activity taking place.
36:07
Morgan runs to Bob's door and pleads for him to leave the
36:10
apartment, but there's no answer.
36:13
Following the events of this night, Morgan would stay the
36:17
next two weeks with Courtney at his home.
36:19
During this time, the two of them would decide that it was
36:22
for the best for her to move in with him permanently.
36:25
She, however, would need to retrieve her belongings from the
36:28
apartment when the day comes. Not wanting to have Bob present
36:33
due to his rising instability and hostility alongside the
36:36
paranormal force, Morgan waits for a phone call from Courtney,
36:41
who was on the floor at their job.
36:43
Once Bob arrives at work for the day, he gives her the call,
36:46
which is the signal she's been waiting for to head to the
36:49
apartment to move out. Upon arriving, Morgan opens the
36:54
door to the apartment and is greeted with a bone chilling
36:57
cold rush of air as she steps inside.
37:00
Quickly getting to work, she begins to round up her things.
37:04
Although there's an eerie feeling in the air, nothing is
37:07
manifesting. Meanwhile, at the call center,
37:11
Bob has gone missing. This sends up a red flag to
37:14
Courtney when he happens to notice.
37:16
When he finds out he's been gone for over an hour, he rushes to
37:20
call Morgan. However, his call would fall
37:23
upon deaf ears. Her phone had been left inside
37:26
of her car. Back at the apartment, Morgan
37:29
finishes packing the last of her home's keepsakes from the shelf
37:33
in the living room that she had put up when they had first moved
37:36
in. She only has one box full of
37:38
belongings. It's not much, but it's all
37:41
she's gone. As she takes one last look at
37:43
the apartment, savouring the situation as a whole, she turns
37:47
around to approach the door to make her final exit.
37:51
The door opens. It's Bob.
37:54
He's pale, sweating, and looks like a shadow of his former
37:59
self. He immediately goes on the
38:02
defensive. He gets in her face and starts
38:05
grilling her on what she's doing, but Morgan refuses to
38:08
cower. She calmly tells Bob that she
38:15
still cares for him, but that she can't help him anymore.
38:20
And if you can't help himself by renouncing Joseph?
38:24
Bob throws back a seething reply.
38:27
He doesn't need me, I need him. Take your trinkets with you.
38:34
Your God didn't save him anyways.
38:38
Bursting into tears, Morgan grabs her box to leave, but
38:42
blocking the door is the apparition of a child.
38:47
It's Joseph. However, he begins to morph into
38:52
something grotesque, A mangled monstrosity, inhuman and a born.
39:00
Morgan later described the creature as having black eyes,
39:04
gnarled fangs, and Gray dead skin.
39:07
When the creature dissipates, seemingly within seconds, Morgan
39:13
leaves. The last sound she hears is the
39:17
whispers of a little boy talking to Bob in his room.
39:22
She leaves, knowing there's nothing more she could have
39:25
done. After this day, Bob never shows
39:29
up to work again. He moves out of the apartment
39:33
but leaves no forwarding address.
39:35
His whereabouts and fate are unknown.
39:39
Morgan and Courtney continued to date for the next 4 years
39:42
following the events mentioned in this video.
39:45
However, I was unable to confirm if they are still together.
39:48
Morgan and Stephanie would eventually combine their
39:51
intrigue for the supernatural to found Entity Seeker, an agency
39:55
that helps people find assistants who are in danger by
39:58
the paranormal. They didn't want anyone to feel
40:01
helpless like they did, ultimately using their
40:04
experiences to bring positivity into the world.
40:07
To this day, Morgan continues to run into Tea Seeker and has been
40:11
involved in numerous investigations and shows, as
40:15
well as writing several books. If you're interested in her
40:18
works, I'll leave links in the description below.
40:22
This entire case, to me, is very intriguing.
40:24
It just goes to show that the paranormal can affect anyone and
40:27
everyone, regardless of location and circumstances.
40:31
That if such a thing as demons exist, that they'll take
40:34
advantage of the weakest beings in the most vulnerable states.
40:38
Such as Bob exploiting his feelings and imperfections to
40:42
take possession of his very soul for its own ends.
40:46
I also think that it showcases the humanity of Morgan and how
40:50
these types of situations can affect your day-to-day life.
40:53
But that she also shows how one can grow and make the best of
40:57
set situations and use their experiences to help assist
41:01
others in need. All observations aside, have you
41:05
ever lived in a haunted home? And what if that home was your
41:08
first? How would that affect you the
41:10
rest of your days, and how would you have handled a situation
41:14
like what Morgan found herself in with Bob?
41:17
Let me know in the comments below.
41:19
And just know that if a spirit or entity reveals itself to you,
41:23
more often than not, the figure it presents isn't always its
41:27
true form. That underneath that innocent
41:30
facade could indeed be a twisted and demonic creature stalking
41:35
and waiting to break you down and take control.
41:39
Be aware and don't let it be you.
41:43
Thank you guys so much for watching this video.

older video storytelling and a little bit of new storytelling
41:54
as well. But this is now to my knowledge
41:57
as accurate as I can get the story which is important to me.
