When we move out on our own, oftentimes there's a newfound
0:04
sense of freedom, feelings of uncertainty and happiness.
0:09
Happiness that we've reached the next steps in our long journey,
0:13
which is truly just beginning. But what would you do if your
0:16
first residence was haunted? But all that excitement and
0:20
anticipation give way to fear, anxiety and terror.
0:25
This is the story of a woman whose experiences would come to
0:28
shape the rest of her life just as it was starting.
0:32
And you'll come to see that when an entity reveals itself, it is
0:36
almost always a facade of its true form.
0:39
This is the untold story of a haunting in Edmonton, Canada,
0:44
better known as the Morgan Knutson case.
0:47
And this is another story you won't want to listen to in the
0:50
dark. In this video I'm joined by my
0:53

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