Speaker 1: What's going on, guys, mister ballin here. Earlier I had
0:04
Speaker 1: been saying you probably know me from TikTok, but the
0:07
Speaker 1: reality is is the majority of people that are watching
0:11
Speaker 1: this video, or who have watched my other videos, are
0:13
Speaker 1: actually just from YouTube, which is really cool to feel
0:16
Speaker 1: like YouTube is promoting some of my videos. I think
0:18
Speaker 1: I'm incredibly lucky to have that be happening. I'm incredibly
0:23
Speaker 1: lucky to have this page growing as quickly as it is,
0:25
Speaker 1: and I'm incredibly lucky to have you paying attention, even
0:28
Speaker 1: if it's just for a few minutes. So thank you
0:30
Speaker 1: for tuning in a little bit about me. I am
0:33
Speaker 1: a former Navy seal. I got mentally retired at the
0:36
Speaker 1: end of twenty seventeen. I initially started making content that
0:39
Speaker 1: was pretty much exclusively about being a Navy seal and
0:42
Speaker 1: my experiences. But then when I got on TikTok at
0:45
Speaker 1: the end of twenty nineteen early twenty twenty, I kind
0:48
Speaker 1: of just completely pivoted and started sharing stories that I
0:52
Speaker 1: was just fundamentally interested in, scary stories, true crime mysteries,
0:57
Speaker 1: that type of content purely because I enjoy it it.
1:01
Speaker 1: I was very fortunate that it took off on TikTok,
1:03
Speaker 1: and here I am on YouTube. I'm kind of trying
1:06
Speaker 1: to do the same thing, sharing content about you know,
1:09
Speaker 1: darker but really interesting, compelling stories, and it's just something
1:14
Speaker 1: I'm passionate about and I'm really happy that I'm starting
1:17
Speaker 1: to grow a platform that is based on that, because
1:20
Speaker 1: I would love to do this indefinitely. So today I'm
1:22
Speaker 1: going to be covering a very famous haunting, but before
1:26
Speaker 1: I get into any details about it, I want to
1:28
Speaker 1: be upfront with the people watching this video. This video
1:33
Speaker 1: and my channel in general are not designed to be,
1:37
Speaker 1: you know, an attempt at convincing people that the paranormal
1:40
Speaker 1: is real or that goes surreal, but rather I want
1:44
Speaker 1: to cover stories that are just plain interesting, and I
1:47
Speaker 1: like covering things that are of the darker variety. True crime,
1:52
Speaker 1: certainly Unsolved mysteries falls into that just I love that genre,
1:56
Speaker 1: the kind of dark mysterious genre. And so this story
2:01
Speaker 1: really interests me because there's lots of photo evidence, there's
2:07
Speaker 1: multiple witnesses that kind of corroborate not necessarily that ghosts surreal,
2:11
Speaker 1: but rather that the events that led to people speculating
2:15
Speaker 1: it was a haunting. There are people that corroborate the details,
2:19
Speaker 1: meaning the story is cohesive, that the actors, the actors
2:23
Speaker 1: and the story basically corroborate one another, and so it
2:27
Speaker 1: leads us down a path to getting to the end
2:30
Speaker 1: of the story. And we're like, well, what the hell happened?
2:32
Speaker 1: Because if it's not a haunting, what was it? Because
2:36
Speaker 1: a bunch of things happened that are pretty difficult to explain.
2:39
Speaker 1: So the too long, didn't read version of this story is,
2:42
Speaker 1: you have a single mom who moves into a home
2:44
Speaker 1: with their kids and she starts hearing noises in the
2:47
Speaker 1: walls in the attic. She can't make sense of it.
2:50
Speaker 1: She has friends and you know, the babysitter that are
2:52
Speaker 1: at the house that also hear it. Her ex husband
2:55
Speaker 1: starts to experience it. You have all these people experiencing
2:58
Speaker 1: these weird phenomena happening the house, and then you know,
3:02
Speaker 1: through a weird series of events that involves priests, landlords,
3:05
Speaker 1: and child protective services, they have a paranormal investigator come
3:09
Speaker 1: over with camera equipment and all that they came in
3:13
Speaker 1: the house and they end up documenting quite a bit
3:16
Speaker 1: of startling imagery and footage that only lends credibility to
3:21
Speaker 1: the fact that this actually might be a real haunting.
3:24
Speaker 1: So that's the story in a nutshell, let's dive in.
3:28
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty nine, a twenty three year old woman
3:30
Speaker 1: named Jackie Hernandez has just broken up with her husband Al.
3:35
Speaker 1: It was an amicable separation. They just weren't on good terms.
3:39
Speaker 1: They decided it's time to get a divorce, but we will,
3:42
Speaker 1: you know, happily co parent our two kids together, So
3:45
Speaker 1: it's an amicable breakup. Jackie moves into a small, modest
3:50
Speaker 1: home in San Pedro, California, with the kids, and she's
3:56
Speaker 1: working a ton. She's a student at night, she's working
4:00
Speaker 1: multiple jobs. It's a very hard, stressful time, but she's
4:04
Speaker 1: doing her best to support her family and kind of
4:07
Speaker 1: land on her feet. So about a month after living
4:09
Speaker 1: in this house, Jackie comes home from a long day
4:13
Speaker 1: at school and work and she sits down. Kids are asleep,
4:16
Speaker 1: and she puts on the TV and she's just trying
4:18
Speaker 1: to decompress. And as she's sitting there, she starts to
4:20
Speaker 1: hear what sounds like little pebbles falling down inside of
4:24
Speaker 1: the walls. So she mutes the TV and she's listening
4:27
Speaker 1: and it's just periodically, little pebbles are falling down the wall.
4:31
Speaker 1: She goes up and she's listening, her with her ear
4:33
Speaker 1: against the wall, and she's thinking to herself, there's got
4:36
Speaker 1: to be, you know, a mouse or some critter up
4:38
Speaker 1: in my attic. Unfortunately, that's kicking some pebbles into a
4:41
Speaker 1: gap in the wall. And she's listening. She thinks she
4:45
Speaker 1: hears what sounds like footsteps in the attic, and so
4:47
Speaker 1: it startles her. Now she's really paying close attention to
4:50
Speaker 1: the attic. She doesn't hear it again. You know, this
4:53
Speaker 1: is the first time she's heard anything like this. So
4:55
Speaker 1: she kind of did the very human sort of rationalizing
4:59
Speaker 1: what she just heard and assumed she was just hearing
5:02
Speaker 1: things in the attic. It's just some critter. I'll deal
5:04
Speaker 1: with it later. So a couple of days later, Jackie
5:06
Speaker 1: has her friend Susan over to just hang out with
5:09
Speaker 1: he at her house. You know, the kids are asleep
5:11
Speaker 1: and they're relaxing, talking, sitting on the couch, and as
5:14
Speaker 1: they're sitting there, they hear a loud bang in the kitchen.
5:18
Speaker 1: It sounded like something had fallen, and so, you know,
5:21
Speaker 1: at this point Jackie had mentioned to Susan this weird, like, hey,
5:25
Speaker 1: I think I got an animal up in the in
5:27
Speaker 1: the in the attic because I heard some rocks fall
5:30
Speaker 1: into the walls. But the funny thing was is I
5:31
Speaker 1: could have sworn I heard footsteps up there, but you know,
5:33
Speaker 1: probably just my mind playing tricks on me. So Susan
5:36
Speaker 1: is keyed in that maybe there's a little bit weirdness
5:38
Speaker 1: happening in the house. So when they hear this sound
5:41
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, it's like they both instantly go to Okay,
5:45
Speaker 1: what's happening here? Is this more to do with the
5:48
Speaker 1: footsteps in the attic or is there a rational explanation?
5:51
Speaker 1: So they're on guard. They walk into the kitchen and
5:53
Speaker 1: they find a picture that was hanging in the wall
5:56
Speaker 1: that had fallen, which honestly is not that's not a
5:59
Speaker 1: cause for a ghost is in the house. But it
6:02
Speaker 1: was held up by a couple of nails, and the
6:05
Speaker 1: nails were removed from the picture frame and were standing
6:09
Speaker 1: on their head point up next to the image, I'm sorry,
6:12
Speaker 1: next to the picture. So imagine if a picture falls,
6:16
Speaker 1: are all the nails going to come out and land
6:17
Speaker 1: perfectly on their head right next to it? No, it's
6:20
Speaker 1: almost impossible, but sure enough that happened. So Susan and
6:24
Speaker 1: Jackie are staring at the picture, they're staring at the nails,
6:27
Speaker 1: and they have no idea what to make of it.
6:30
Speaker 1: You know, Susan was a little bit more eager to
6:33
Speaker 1: connect it to these footsteps in the attic, but she
6:35
Speaker 1: also did not want to, you know, frighten her friend
6:38
Speaker 1: because she knows she's living alone. And so they kind
6:41
Speaker 1: of talked a little bit about it, and maybe they
6:43
Speaker 1: both wanted to have that discussion about how what's happening
6:47
Speaker 1: in the house, but they both kind of decided, without
6:50
Speaker 1: saying anything, that we're going to kind of avoid this topic,
6:52
Speaker 1: and so they put the picture away, the nails away.
6:55
Speaker 1: Susan actually decides to just leave because she's a little
6:57
Speaker 1: bit freaked out, and so she's gone. Next night, Susan
7:02
Speaker 1: actually brings over a new babysitter. It's the sixteen year
7:04
Speaker 1: old girl named Tina, and so I guess, you know,
7:08
Speaker 1: Jackie wanted a little bit of time to leave the house.
7:10
Speaker 1: She thought that she was kind of losing her mind
7:12
Speaker 1: with all the stress of work in school, and so
7:14
Speaker 1: Tina comes over. Jackie had not told Tina anything about
7:18
Speaker 1: what was going on in the house. It was just like, hey,
7:20
Speaker 1: take care of the kids's scene a little bit. She's
7:22
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch, Tina, the babysitter, and she just like,
7:25
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go just check on the kids.
7:26
Speaker 1: I got a weird feeling to make sure they're okay
7:28
Speaker 1: in their bedrooms. And as soon as she goes to
7:31
Speaker 1: push the door, the door opens, which she remembers in
7:34
Speaker 1: an interview, saying, it was strange that before I actually
7:37
Speaker 1: made contact with the door, the door swung open. But
7:41
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think anything of it. I walked in.
7:43
Speaker 1: You know, the sun is just fine. So I walked
7:46
Speaker 1: back out and I shut the door. But as soon
7:48
Speaker 1: as I shut it, I turned around and it was
7:51
Speaker 1: starting to open again, and she describes thinking that, oh,
7:54
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, the house must be you know,
7:56
Speaker 1: not level or something. Jackie comes home and Tina tells
8:00
Speaker 1: her about the door, and I think that Tina on
8:03
Speaker 1: some level was hoping that Jackie, being the adult, would
8:06
Speaker 1: you know, hear what she was saying and have just
8:08
Speaker 1: a totally rational explanation for what was going on, like, oh,
8:12
Speaker 1: you know, my door, the door always does that and
8:14
Speaker 1: you know, something like that. But Tina was shocked when
8:18
Speaker 1: she told her this, and Jackie reacted visibly like she
8:22
Speaker 1: was concerned, and Tina's like keying in on it, and
8:25
Speaker 1: she was like, I mean, do you know why this
8:28
Speaker 1: could happen? Why the door would be kind of opening
8:30
Speaker 1: on its own? And Jackie just said, you know, honestly,
8:33
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of weird things that have happened.
8:35
Speaker 1: And so they talked about it a little bit, but ultimately,
8:38
Speaker 1: you know, they both just decided, you know what, I
8:41
Speaker 1: think they're connecting things that don't need to be connected.
8:43
Speaker 1: It's just a couple of strange occurrences. So Tina leaves,
8:47
Speaker 1: Jackie goes to bed, and they don't think about it.
8:49
Speaker 1: So the next day, Jackie has Tina come back over
8:52
Speaker 1: because she needs some more help with the kids. And
8:54
Speaker 1: so as they're standing in the kitchen, Jackie's describing to
8:58
Speaker 1: Tina what she needs to do that night, you know,
9:00
Speaker 1: when to feed the kids, what time to put them
9:01
Speaker 1: to bed. Tina just kind of stops paying attention to
9:05
Speaker 1: Jackie and looks up at the corner of the kitchen,
9:08
Speaker 1: and so in the back corner of the kitchen. You know,
9:10
Speaker 1: Tina's looking and she says, did you put in a
9:12
Speaker 1: new light in the corner of your kitchen? And Jackie
9:15
Speaker 1: looks too, and she's like, whoa, what is that? And
9:18
Speaker 1: it looks like there's this like light bulb, kind of
9:22
Speaker 1: a weird looking light bulb in the corner of the
9:25
Speaker 1: kitchen on the ceiling, which there wasn't a light bulb
9:27
Speaker 1: over there. And Jackie says as much, and they're looking
9:29
Speaker 1: at it, and then it begins to move, not towards them,
9:33
Speaker 1: just it was like just kind of moving around, like
9:36
Speaker 1: an orb of light that was kind of moving around.
9:38
Speaker 1: And now had Jackie and Tina relayed that particular experience,
9:45
Speaker 1: almost everybody or virtually everyone would be like, yeah, okay,
9:49
Speaker 1: you saw a floating light in your kitchen. Well they
9:52
Speaker 1: took a picture of it because it didn't go away,
9:54
Speaker 1: so they went and got a camera and they took
9:56
Speaker 1: this picture and so you can see there's like this
9:59
Speaker 1: blob of light, you know, that was in their kitchen
10:02
Speaker 1: between the pebbles in the wall, the footsteps in the attic,
10:05
Speaker 1: the falling picture with the nails standing on their head,
10:08
Speaker 1: with you know, Tina saying the door woulden shut. And
10:10
Speaker 1: now this orb of light. Now Jackie has officially kind
10:14
Speaker 1: of gone from I'm going to play this rational and
10:17
Speaker 1: not worry about it to I have no idea what's wrong,
10:21
Speaker 1: and I can't explain this. I can't tell people this
10:24
Speaker 1: without them thinking I'm crazy. With the exception of Susan
10:27
Speaker 1: and Tina because their kids were too young to know
10:30
Speaker 1: what was going on, there's no one that she felt
10:33
Speaker 1: comfortable sharing her anxieties and fear about what was happening,
10:37
Speaker 1: because how do you a skeptical, rational person go to
10:41
Speaker 1: the for example, the police and say, hey, you know,
10:45
Speaker 1: there's nothing in my attic, but I believe there's someone
10:47
Speaker 1: walking around my attic and kicking pebbles into my walls
10:51
Speaker 1: and knocking pictures off the wall and taking the nails
10:53
Speaker 1: out standing them on the head. You know, like they're
10:55
Speaker 1: going to say that, well, are you doing this? Are
10:59
Speaker 1: your kids doing this? And so the only person that
11:02
Speaker 1: Jackie finally felt comfortable telling was her ex husband because
11:06
Speaker 1: they were still amicable. She has al come over and
11:10
Speaker 1: she finally says to him, you know, I have a
11:13
Speaker 1: lot of weird things happening. She showed him the picture
11:16
Speaker 1: of the lights in the kitchen and she describes everything
11:19
Speaker 1: that happened in the house, and Al would say that
11:24
Speaker 1: in a way, he thought that this was just kind
11:26
Speaker 1: of an act to maybe draw attention to the fact
11:29
Speaker 1: that she was lonely and that she missed him. He
11:31
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if that's what it was, but he definitely
11:33
Speaker 1: was not ready to believe in anything she was saying.
11:36
Speaker 1: He just kind of felt bad for the position she
11:38
Speaker 1: was in. So he listens and he says, look, kind
11:42
Speaker 1: of almost playing along with her. He's like, let's just
11:45
Speaker 1: call it out. If there's something happened in your house,
11:47
Speaker 1: we should call it out. And so he stands up
11:50
Speaker 1: and she's saying, no, don't do that, don't do that,
11:51
Speaker 1: and he goes, whoever's here, show yourself, and they're looking
11:56
Speaker 1: around nothing. And I think in a way, jack he
12:00
Speaker 1: was disappointed that there wasn't, you know, footsteps in the
12:02
Speaker 1: attic right then and there, but there was nothing, and
12:04
Speaker 1: so Al kind of does the say, there's nothing to
12:07
Speaker 1: worry about here, you know, just stop worrying about it.
12:10
Speaker 1: And so he leaves, and you know, Jackie's disappointed but
12:14
Speaker 1: not shocked, and she goes to put something away in
12:18
Speaker 1: the closet. This is immediately after he's left, and she
12:21
Speaker 1: opens this closet and inside the closet, on every wall
12:24
Speaker 1: inside the closet, on the back of the door was
12:27
Speaker 1: written al A and red and the L in blue
12:31
Speaker 1: al all over the wall, and that had not been
12:33
Speaker 1: there before, and what she believes was a response to
12:37
Speaker 1: the challenge by al So at this point, if she
12:40
Speaker 1: had money, she said, she would have left, but she didn't.
12:43
Speaker 1: She didn't have the resources to move, and so she's
12:45
Speaker 1: just kind of trapped. And she's expressing her concerns and
12:48
Speaker 1: her anxiety onto her friend Susan, and the two of
12:52
Speaker 1: them are actually out for a walk in their neighborhood,
12:54
Speaker 1: and she's telling Susan how scared she is and like,
12:57
Speaker 1: what do I even do? And it just so happens
12:59
Speaker 1: that the landlord, her landlord, Jackie's landlord, was walking down
13:04
Speaker 1: the street at the same time, and they bumped into
13:06
Speaker 1: each other. They have some pleasantries, and Susan just kind
13:09
Speaker 1: of without even asking Jackie's permission, says to the landlord, hey,
13:13
Speaker 1: there's some weird stuff happening in our house. She doesn't
13:15
Speaker 1: want to tell anyone because she thinks people will think
13:17
Speaker 1: she's crazy. And so they go into describing to the
13:20
Speaker 1: landlord all the strange happenings in the house, the lights
13:23
Speaker 1: that they got a picture of, the pebbles on the footsteps,
13:26
Speaker 1: all of it. And the landlord is very religious and
13:31
Speaker 1: is very concerned and says, would you allow me to
13:33
Speaker 1: have two priests come to your house and check your
13:37
Speaker 1: house out? And Jackie, she is a religious person, but
13:42
Speaker 1: to be honest, was a little skeptical at the idea
13:44
Speaker 1: of introducing religion to what was going on. I think
13:47
Speaker 1: that for her she just wanted it to go away.
13:50
Speaker 1: But then again, she had nowhere to turn, and so
13:53
Speaker 1: she was like, Okay, yeah, we'll have the priest come
13:56
Speaker 1: over and check it out. So the next day, these
13:58
Speaker 1: two priests show up to her house, and Jackie's house
14:02
Speaker 1: was very much in disarray. She had two young kids,
14:04
Speaker 1: she was working multiple jobs, doing school late, and she
14:07
Speaker 1: had all this weirdness happening in her house. And so
14:10
Speaker 1: when they showed up, her house was a total mess.
14:12
Speaker 1: Her kids are crying, it's just it's a madhouse. And
14:16
Speaker 1: ultimately what happened from this visit is the priest walked around,
14:20
Speaker 1: you know, offered to bless her children, but really they
14:24
Speaker 1: didn't have any sort of like conclusion, and then they
14:27
Speaker 1: leave and Jackie was like, well, you know, that didn't
14:30
Speaker 1: really do anything for me, but okay. The next day
14:34
Speaker 1: she gets a visit from Child Protective Services because the
14:38
Speaker 1: priest had actually filed a complaint saying that this was
14:42
Speaker 1: all a hallucination by an incompetent mother. This notion that
14:46
Speaker 1: the house was haunted, combined with when they showed up
14:50
Speaker 1: the house was a total mess. They just said, I
14:52
Speaker 1: don't think the kids are safe, and so Child Protective
14:55
Speaker 1: Services gets called, who basically threatened Jackie to like clean
14:59
Speaker 1: it up, literally clean up your house, but like we're
15:01
Speaker 1: going to be checking in on you to make sure
15:03
Speaker 1: you're a fit mother. And so this is this is
15:05
Speaker 1: a huge blow because now Jackie is seeing what happens
15:10
Speaker 1: when you bring up that your house is haunted, right,
15:13
Speaker 1: that this is what can happen. And so now she
15:17
Speaker 1: is not prepared to share this with anybody. So over
15:20
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, Jackie brings her kids into
15:23
Speaker 1: the living room and they all start sleeping in the
15:25
Speaker 1: same room. She's increasingly paranoid. You know, she's she's overworked
15:29
Speaker 1: and she's not sleeping enough, and she's just kind of
15:31
Speaker 1: really spiraling. And you know, Susan, who's her friend, is
15:37
Speaker 1: really taking a notice, is noticing this. And she also
15:41
Speaker 1: knows the sensitivity of being able to really share this
15:44
Speaker 1: with you know, authority, because she she knows what the
15:47
Speaker 1: child protective services call, and she knows that Jackie is
15:51
Speaker 1: really afraid to share the story with anyone. But she
15:53
Speaker 1: goes over and she tells her, you have to call
15:58
Speaker 1: a paranormal investigator. It is probably the only group of
16:02
Speaker 1: people that if you reach out to them with a story,
16:05
Speaker 1: they're not going to treat you like they're crazy. And
16:07
Speaker 1: if nothing else, that is a reason to call them,
16:10
Speaker 1: even if what they provide is worthless to you, that
16:13
Speaker 1: it doesn't accomplish anything. They're at least a group of
16:17
Speaker 1: people that are going to take you seriously. And so
16:21
Speaker 1: finally Jackie just says, okay, let's do it. So a
16:25
Speaker 1: couple of days go by and this team shows up
16:27
Speaker 1: at their house, this paranormal investigator team. They have cameras
16:31
Speaker 1: and recorders. I mean, they are in it to try
16:33
Speaker 1: to capture footage. And even though they were ready to
16:37
Speaker 1: listen to Jackie and had obviously taken her seriously enough
16:41
Speaker 1: that they had shown up at her house. They were
16:43
Speaker 1: fairly skeptical, by their own admission afterwards, after this whole
16:47
Speaker 1: case had happened. They had said that they had covered
16:51
Speaker 1: over three thousand cases prior to this and brought the
16:53
Speaker 1: recording equipment and all that had never once found anything
16:57
Speaker 1: usable that would even hint at the existence of ghosts
17:01
Speaker 1: or the paranormal, And so you could say that they
17:03
Speaker 1: were sympathetic to people that had these experiences, but usually
17:07
Speaker 1: either there was nothing going on, or they found a
17:10
Speaker 1: rational explanation for whatever the person was claiming to happen.
17:14
Speaker 1: They didn't have any paranormal footage. So they're interviewing Jackie
17:18
Speaker 1: on camera, the three investigators that are there. They're kind
17:21
Speaker 1: of asking us some questions about what's going on in
17:23
Speaker 1: filming it, and Jackie had actually invited her ex husband
17:27
Speaker 1: Al to be there with the kids, so he's in
17:29
Speaker 1: the other room with the kids and they're interviewing her,
17:32
Speaker 1: and then the power goes out, which it sounds pretty
17:34
Speaker 1: cliche and I get that. But the power goes off
17:37
Speaker 1: and then the power comes back on and it visibly
17:42
Speaker 1: shakes Jackie. She had been living in this house with
17:46
Speaker 1: all these weird occurrences, and it was like she had
17:47
Speaker 1: this feeling that something bad was going to happen, and
17:50
Speaker 1: so she starts acting really really scared, and she says,
17:54
Speaker 1: you know, I'm telling you there's something going on with
17:57
Speaker 1: the attic. And so they kind of stopped the interview
17:59
Speaker 1: and they're like, a, right, let's just let's just go
18:01
Speaker 1: have a look at the attic. We'll go look, there
18:03
Speaker 1: won't be anything there. We'll come back down and we'll
18:05
Speaker 1: chat with her some more. And so one of the
18:09
Speaker 1: three investigators gets a ladder and crawls through this little
18:12
Speaker 1: crawl space into the attic and so he goes up.
18:15
Speaker 1: And so while he's doing that, Al who's in the
18:19
Speaker 1: other room with the kids, he's wide awake, laying with
18:21
Speaker 1: his son. He's just like waiting. He's not really expecting
18:24
Speaker 1: anything to happen. And as he's laying there, he could
18:27
Speaker 1: have sworn he heard someone whisper in his ear tell
18:30
Speaker 1: them to get the hell out of here. And he
18:33
Speaker 1: has an interview he does where he describes this moment,
18:36
Speaker 1: and you can tell that Al is as skeptical as
18:39
Speaker 1: they come, and he's like, I just don't know how
18:42
Speaker 1: to explain it. I heard it clear as day, and
18:44
Speaker 1: right after I heard it, I heard a scream from
18:47
Speaker 1: the attic. The guy, the photographer who had gone up
18:50
Speaker 1: into the attic, he was alone up there, and he
18:52
Speaker 1: had brought his expensive camera. And he comes running downstairs
18:56
Speaker 1: or jumps through the hold and practically falls out of
18:58
Speaker 1: the attic, and he tells them something grabbed my camera.
19:03
Speaker 1: There's no one up there, but something grabbed my camera.
19:05
Speaker 1: And his heart's raising, his face is pale, and the
19:08
Speaker 1: other investigators they're starting to feel like what's going on.
19:11
Speaker 1: Al comes bursting out of the room and he's like,
19:13
Speaker 1: what's going on, And the photographer's like, my camera. And
19:17
Speaker 1: he goes from being scared of what happened to now
19:20
Speaker 1: being like, that's my livelihood. I need to get that
19:23
Speaker 1: camera back. So he goes back up into the attic
19:25
Speaker 1: to retrieve his camera, and he finds the body of
19:29
Speaker 1: the camera in a crate in one side of the attic,
19:32
Speaker 1: and then the lens of the camera had been removed
19:35
Speaker 1: and placed on the other side of the attic. He
19:37
Speaker 1: comes down with his camera and you can tell that
19:40
Speaker 1: what he's just discovered has really shaken him up, and
19:43
Speaker 1: the other investigators are also very shaken up, and whatever
19:47
Speaker 1: they planned to do that night, whether it was finishing
19:49
Speaker 1: the interview with Jackie or whatever, has now gone out
19:52
Speaker 1: the window. They're ready to leave. Jackie is pleading with
19:55
Speaker 1: them to stay. Al's freaked out. No one knows what's happening,
19:59
Speaker 1: and the investors like, yep, yeah, yep, we're good. We'll
20:01
Speaker 1: be back soon. We'll be back soon, I promise. But
20:03
Speaker 1: really they're just like, let's get out of here, and
20:05
Speaker 1: they bolt. After they leave, Al sticks around for a
20:08
Speaker 1: little bit longer, but ultimately has to go back because
20:11
Speaker 1: he has to work early the next day, and so
20:13
Speaker 1: Jackie is left all alone with the kids. She is
20:16
Speaker 1: totally freaked out. She feels like the investigators had upset
20:19
Speaker 1: the entity in the house, and so she's pretty much
20:22
Speaker 1: on edge for something bad to happen, and sure enough,
20:26
Speaker 1: it does. So that night, Jackie is laying on the sofa.
20:29
Speaker 1: She's in full crisis mode. She has no idea what's
20:32
Speaker 1: going on in her house. You know, watching the investigators
20:35
Speaker 1: were supposed to be investigating this stuff be obviously spooped
20:39
Speaker 1: and leave really unsettled her. She felt like she didn't
20:42
Speaker 1: have any support from al She just felt like the
20:44
Speaker 1: whole situation had just completely fallen apart, and she's so
20:48
Speaker 1: scared for her kids. And she's laying on the sofa
20:51
Speaker 1: and at some point she must have passed out, and
20:54
Speaker 1: then she wakes up suddenly and she looks at the
20:56
Speaker 1: foot of her sofa, and she believes she sees what
20:59
Speaker 1: a hears to be the figure of an old man
21:02
Speaker 1: standing there looking at her kids. She screams, it vanishes.
21:05
Speaker 1: She grabs her kids and she runs out of the house.
21:09
Speaker 1: The first people she calls is the investigators, because again
21:13
Speaker 1: she's worried about telling the police in fear that they
21:15
Speaker 1: would think it was her being crazy and have her
21:18
Speaker 1: kids taken from her. So she calls the investigators and
21:21
Speaker 1: they don't pick up, but she leaves a voicemail, and
21:23
Speaker 1: on the voicemail, she is She's completely desperate. She's like,
21:28
Speaker 1: please come back. I am out of the house. I
21:31
Speaker 1: can't go back in. I don't know what to do, like,
21:33
Speaker 1: I can't go back in. Please help me. And one
21:36
Speaker 1: of the photographers who was there heard the voicemail and decides,
21:39
Speaker 1: you know what, we got to go back. It's super
21:42
Speaker 1: late at night, they find Jackie outside of her property
21:44
Speaker 1: in pajamas with her kids. She's totally freaked out. They
21:48
Speaker 1: bring her inside and the house is totally calm. There's
21:51
Speaker 1: no sign of anything going on, and so they're kind
21:55
Speaker 1: of walking around the house that no one goes in
21:57
Speaker 1: the attic, but they're just walking around and it's silent,
21:59
Speaker 1: it's calm. And after a little bit of time, maybe
22:03
Speaker 1: because it was so calm in the house, they decide,
22:05
Speaker 1: you know what, just just because let's go back up
22:08
Speaker 1: into the attic and just for sanity, let's just take
22:11
Speaker 1: some pictures and video and see what's up there. So
22:13
Speaker 1: two of the investigators go up into the attic. One
22:16
Speaker 1: has a flashlight and a camera and then the other
22:19
Speaker 1: just has his camera. And so they go up there,
22:22
Speaker 1: and Jackie and the third investigator are kind of anxiously
22:27
Speaker 1: standing at the foot of the attic looking up, and
22:31
Speaker 1: the guys who are up in the attic walking around,
22:33
Speaker 1: they're reporting down to them, you know, we don't see anything,
22:35
Speaker 1: we don't hear anything. It's quiet up here, but like
22:38
Speaker 1: the tension is building, right, And they stop at some point,
22:43
Speaker 1: the two in the attic, and it's just like silence
22:46
Speaker 1: and all of them reported hearing a snap and then
22:50
Speaker 1: another snap, and then a third snap and then silence,
22:56
Speaker 1: and Jackie begins having this overwhelming sense of dread. The
23:00
Speaker 1: eyes in the attic are trying to say calm, They're
23:01
Speaker 1: like trying to talk about, oh, there could have been
23:03
Speaker 1: the roof, Oh could have been this. But the investigator
23:06
Speaker 1: who's down below with Jackie and Jackie yourself based art
23:09
Speaker 1: kind of panicking and they're like, hey, come on, come
23:11
Speaker 1: back down. Let's not risk it. Something's about to happen.
23:13
Speaker 1: Come back down. So as they're making their way back
23:16
Speaker 1: over to the exit of the attic and it's totally
23:19
Speaker 1: pitch black up there, minus whatever light source they had,
23:22
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, one of the investigators just gets
23:25
Speaker 1: yanked backwards into the attic, and it was actually the
23:28
Speaker 1: guy holding the flashlight, and so they hear a tumbling
23:31
Speaker 1: of the flashlight, a tumbling of the camera, and silence
23:34
Speaker 1: from this other investigator. The other investigator who's up in
23:38
Speaker 1: the attic with him that was not yanked back, he
23:41
Speaker 1: turns around and the guy's gone, and that guy who
23:44
Speaker 1: has not been yanked suddenly all he has is this camera.
23:48
Speaker 1: The other guy had the flashlight, so he instinctively starts
23:51
Speaker 1: clicking pictures with his camera to use the flash. Jackie
23:54
Speaker 1: and the guy on the ground, they're screaming, what's going on,
23:56
Speaker 1: what's going on, And he's just clicking pictures, not looking
23:59
Speaker 1: in the viewfile is flashing and he sees one of
24:02
Speaker 1: the investigator has been hoisted up into the rafters of
24:06
Speaker 1: the attic and he's been tied to a post, and
24:09
Speaker 1: they have a picture of it, and so they run
24:12
Speaker 1: over that. The investigators up there with him. He runs
24:14
Speaker 1: over it, he unties him, pulls him down, and that guy's,
24:17
Speaker 1: you know, totally freaked out. He doesn't know how he
24:20
Speaker 1: got up there. They collect their stuff and they practically
24:23
Speaker 1: fall out of the attic, and it's just pure mayhem
24:26
Speaker 1: because the guy is he's freaked out, he's ashen faced,
24:29
Speaker 1: he's got these marks on his neck like something was
24:31
Speaker 1: holding onto his neck. And they run out of the house,
24:35
Speaker 1: never to go back in. Jackie says that she's not
24:38
Speaker 1: experienced anything paranormal since this instance, and swears that this
24:42
Speaker 1: was not a hoax, that in fact, this is one
24:44
Speaker 1: of the lowest points of her life and it made
24:47
Speaker 1: her look like an incompetent mother and it makes her
24:49
Speaker 1: look crazy and a lot of people still think she's crazy,
24:52
Speaker 1: and for her, this was just a traumatic experience that
24:54
Speaker 1: she has no explanation for. So I'd love to hear
