I'm gonna miss you.
3
00:00:07,713 --> 00:00:11,549
During the week, I was home
with the kids by myself.
4
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:15,887
It was only woods for
as far as you could see.
5
00:00:15,888 --> 00:00:18,289
It's not there now, but it's out there.
6
00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:19,290
[Gunshot]
7
00:00:19,291 --> 00:00:22,193
Surely you heard the rumors
of what happened at that house.
8
00:00:22,194 --> 00:00:23,795
She called it a rumor.
9
00:00:23,796 --> 00:00:26,208
Stay away from him.
10
00:00:26,209 --> 00:00:27,932
He's the bad man.
11
00:00:27,933 --> 00:00:30,935
I felt she was there to protect me.
12
00:00:30,936 --> 00:00:33,404
I should have believed him.
13
00:00:33,405 --> 00:00:35,439
Whatever was there...
14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,674
[Dog barking]
15
00:00:36,675 --> 00:00:40,278
Whatever was hurting my
family was getting stronger.
16
00:00:40,279 --> 00:00:42,446
I'm just thinking if that
happened to one of my kids.
17
00:00:42,447 --> 00:00:44,315
[Screams]
18
00:00:44,316 --> 00:00:46,785
Who could have done this to my child?
19
00:00:46,786 --> 00:00:49,654
What could have done this to my child?

_.
22
00:01:13,512 --> 00:01:15,680
Slanesville just kind of happened.
23
00:01:15,681 --> 00:01:18,430
I just wanted to get out of the city.
24
00:01:18,431 --> 00:01:20,985
I didn't want the city
influence on my kids.
25
00:01:20,986 --> 00:01:23,121
Thank you very much.
26
00:01:23,122 --> 00:01:26,590
Slanesville was real country.
It was... it was hick.
27
00:01:26,591 --> 00:01:28,226
Good old boys.
28
00:01:28,227 --> 00:01:32,063
But hard to fit in if
you were from out of town.
29
00:01:32,064 --> 00:01:37,668
It's just a town that you're gonna
pass if you're going somewhere.
30
00:01:37,669 --> 00:01:39,337
Brian got me a dog.
31
00:01:39,338 --> 00:01:41,105
We named her Coco.
32
00:01:41,106 --> 00:01:44,108
The children love her,
and she loved the kids.
33
00:01:44,109 --> 00:01:45,810
Don't give Coco too many treats.
34
00:01:45,811 --> 00:01:46,811
One's enough.
35
00:01:46,812 --> 00:01:49,180
She is gonna become a fat dog.
36
00:01:49,181 --> 00:01:52,301
But even though she was my
mom's dog, I loved her a lot.
37
00:01:52,302 --> 00:01:57,162
She was very protective
over the whole family.
38
00:01:59,091 --> 00:02:01,730
It was very important
to both Brian and I,
39
00:02:01,731 --> 00:02:04,467
that the kids grow up
in a safe environment.
40
00:02:04,468 --> 00:02:06,364
The house was perfect.
41
00:02:06,365 --> 00:02:10,335
It was a fair-sized ranch
back in the middle of nowhere.
42
00:02:10,336 --> 00:02:12,737
There was nothing else around you.
43
00:02:12,738 --> 00:02:13,872
Yeah, Coco!
44
00:02:13,873 --> 00:02:16,074
Every direction you
looked in, there was woods.
45
00:02:16,075 --> 00:02:18,519
- Hey, love.
- How's it going out here?
46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,045
It's going well. Have
this up in no time.
47
00:02:21,046 --> 00:02:24,615
Seemed like it was gonna be
a real nice place to live.
48
00:02:24,616 --> 00:02:26,650
Could let my kids play and go wander.
49
00:02:26,651 --> 00:02:31,751
Don't have to worry about
somebody snatching 'em.
50
00:02:31,823 --> 00:02:33,557
Seemed good to me.
51
00:02:33,558 --> 00:02:35,393
The end zone for a touchdown!
52
00:02:35,394 --> 00:02:36,427
All right.
53
00:02:36,428 --> 00:02:41,465
This is the bathroom, Shaun's
room, and the living room.
54
00:02:41,466 --> 00:02:42,666
This is so nice.
55
00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:46,675
Shortly after we moved in to the house,
my brother came to visit with his family.
56
00:02:46,676 --> 00:02:50,947
And then this beautiful piece
of work is Brian's doing.
57
00:02:50,948 --> 00:02:53,470
Apparently, we need a new door frame.
58
00:02:53,471 --> 00:02:57,284
Belinda and I actually went
to junior high school together.
59
00:02:57,285 --> 00:02:59,609
So I've known her for a long time.
60
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,068
And then this here is the...
61
00:03:01,069 --> 00:03:03,048
The house in Slanesville was...
62
00:03:03,049 --> 00:03:06,188
I thought it was awesome because
I was coming from the city.
63
00:03:06,189 --> 00:03:08,535
Toys in the yard, toys on the floor.
64
00:03:08,536 --> 00:03:09,592
Kid-friendly.
65
00:03:09,593 --> 00:03:12,880
Didn't have any inkling that it was
any different than any other house.
66
00:03:12,881 --> 00:03:15,341
Make a wish.
67
00:03:16,001 --> 00:03:18,515
We decided to have a birthday party.
68
00:03:18,516 --> 00:03:22,012
We were celebrating
my cousin's birthday.
69
00:03:22,013 --> 00:03:27,913
My niece, Jordan, was sitting on
the floor, playing with some toys.
70
00:03:29,263 --> 00:03:32,995
All of a sudden, I noticed
that one of the balloons,
71
00:03:32,996 --> 00:03:36,416
the string pulled straight.
72
00:03:36,791 --> 00:03:40,511
As if somebody was holding it.
73
00:03:44,596 --> 00:03:50,496
It was floating in midair like as
if someone was holding the string.
74
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:58,577
It just moved across the damn room.
75
00:03:58,578 --> 00:04:04,478
My cousin, Jordan, whose birthday it was,
I noticed the balloon going towards her.
76
00:04:06,418 --> 00:04:08,853
My sister and I just
looked at each other.
77
00:04:08,854 --> 00:04:12,706
She looked at me and said, did
you see that balloon follow her?
78
00:04:12,707 --> 00:04:14,627
Yeah.
79
00:04:15,294 --> 00:04:18,296
Jordan did not touch that balloon.
80
00:04:18,297 --> 00:04:22,257
That balloon made its way to her.
81
00:04:28,777 --> 00:04:32,234
When the balloon
stopped in front of her.
82
00:04:32,235 --> 00:04:36,915
She looked up as if
she saw someone there.
83
00:04:37,613 --> 00:04:39,767
Like a child.
84
00:04:39,768 --> 00:04:44,928
You know, like she was
playing with another child.
85
00:04:46,558 --> 00:04:50,338
Once she reached for it, and...
86
00:04:51,245 --> 00:04:55,265
It just floated up to the ceiling.
87
00:04:58,782 --> 00:05:02,762
The way the balloon
rested in front of Jordan.
88
00:05:02,763 --> 00:05:05,643
And her reaction...
89
00:05:06,146 --> 00:05:08,966
It wasn't normal.
90
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,787
Back in '91, I used to...
or I still am a big hunter...
91
00:05:19,788 --> 00:05:23,827
I eat what I kill, and that
was a big part of our diet.
92
00:05:23,828 --> 00:05:26,716
Heck, I could hunt in the back yard.
93
00:05:26,717 --> 00:05:28,569
I was a daddy's girl.
94
00:05:28,570 --> 00:05:30,879
There was this one day.
95
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,924
My dad asks, like, hey, do you
want to go squirrel hunting?
96
00:05:33,925 --> 00:05:37,189
So I get her all dressed
up. We get the .22 out.
97
00:05:37,190 --> 00:05:38,512
All right, let's try right here.
98
00:05:38,513 --> 00:05:43,016
We went up over the hill at the back
of the house where there was just woods.
99
00:05:43,017 --> 00:05:46,017
Everywhere was woods.
100
00:05:50,089 --> 00:05:51,604
You know, there's nothing.
101
00:05:51,605 --> 00:05:54,785
No movement, no sounds.
102
00:05:55,336 --> 00:05:58,756
The woods are, like, dead.

[Tree branch snaps]
104
00:06:00,315 --> 00:06:03,119
And then all of a
sudden, I hear something.
105
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,941
I look over, and... squirrel!
106
00:06:05,942 --> 00:06:07,638
Yay, it's a squirrel.
107
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,410
So you're gonna run around
the back of that tree...
108
00:06:10,411 --> 00:06:13,245
It's on the wrong side of the
tree, so I try to tell her to go
109
00:06:13,246 --> 00:06:19,146
to the other side of the tree
to run it back over to this side.
110
00:06:22,271 --> 00:06:27,671
And as I'm chasing it, I
go up this little mound...
111
00:06:28,254 --> 00:06:31,854
And I'm like, what is this?
112
00:06:37,702 --> 00:06:40,238
Blaire! Blaire!
113
00:06:40,239 --> 00:06:43,899
In front of me was this van.
114
00:06:46,645 --> 00:06:52,023
It was as if it had crashed, which
doesn't make any sense because...
115
00:06:52,024 --> 00:06:55,278
There's no roads around.
116
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,519
All burned and beat up.
117
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:04,662
You know? I could tell that the
van had been there for a long time.
118
00:07:04,663 --> 00:07:07,903
I came up to the back.
119
00:07:08,733 --> 00:07:13,593
There was a mattress
in the back of the van.
120
00:07:14,140 --> 00:07:19,300
I had, like, this sinking
feeling in my stomach...
121
00:07:21,383 --> 00:07:24,623
Like this wasn't right.
122
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,135
Let's go.
123
00:07:28,136 --> 00:07:33,488
You know, he looks at it real quick,
and he grabs me, and he says, let's go.
124
00:07:33,489 --> 00:07:36,195
And just by his body language, I
could tell he was like, you know...
125
00:07:36,196 --> 00:07:41,221
This isn't good, you know?
I don't want you seeing this.
126
00:07:41,222 --> 00:07:47,122
It was ominous. Well, why is there
a charred van behind my house?
127
00:07:50,809 --> 00:07:52,476
By trade, I was a carpenter.
128

I had recently just
started this new job.

I was working at Goddard Flight Center
down in Greenbelt, Maryland, AKA, NASA.

00:07:58,847 --> 00:08:00,378
Office renovation.
131
00:08:00,379 --> 00:08:04,788
I actually did the Hubble Space
Telescope room, which was kind of cool.
132
00:08:04,789 --> 00:08:08,509
Uh, but the drive was immense.
133
00:08:08,893 --> 00:08:11,696
Be a good boy, all right?
You can do that for me?
134
00:08:11,697 --> 00:08:14,257
It's what most people
did because, you know,
135
00:08:14,258 --> 00:08:17,841
there's no work in West Virginia, and
a lot of us travel up and down the road.
136
00:08:17,842 --> 00:08:20,471
- I'm gonna miss you.
- I miss you.
137
00:08:20,472 --> 00:08:26,372
Brian would stay with his mother during
the week and come home on the weekends.
138
00:08:26,911 --> 00:08:29,431
- Bye.
- Bye.
139
00:08:29,815 --> 00:08:35,414
During the week, I was home by
myself with no way to get anywhere.
140
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:38,947
But we'd always lived in remote areas.
141
00:08:38,948 --> 00:08:44,848
And I wasn't afraid to be by myself,
because that's the way things were.
142
00:08:57,965 --> 00:09:03,607
I had been begging my mom to go camping
because my dad was in the city like normal.
143
00:09:03,608 --> 00:09:06,792
And so she finally agreed
that I could go camping,
144
00:09:06,793 --> 00:09:10,221
but I had to go in the yard
and outside her bedroom window
145
00:09:10,222 --> 00:09:12,956
so she could still keep an eye on me.
146
00:09:12,957 --> 00:09:16,146
I wasn't real keen on the idea at first.
147
00:09:16,147 --> 00:09:19,533
But she didn't have school
the next day, and she convinced
148
00:09:19,534 --> 00:09:24,243
me that she was going to be okay because
she was going to have Coco with her.
149
00:09:24,244 --> 00:09:27,361
I tucked her in before I went to bed,
150
00:09:27,362 --> 00:09:32,582
and she just seemed like
she was perfectly content.

Hey, Shaunie. You should be asleep.

Shaun is pretty easy to put to bed.
156

He's a pretty tough little boy,
you know? He's daddy's little man.

He never seemed to
be afraid of anything.
158

But that particular evening,
he refused to go to bed.

Come on, buddy. It's time to go to bed.
160
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:11,837
He didn't want the lights off.
161
00:10:11,838 --> 00:10:16,408
He would ask me to leave the door
open. Then he wanted it open farther.
162

00:26:58,065 --> 00:27:01,113
And that a family had died...
346
00:27:01,114 --> 00:27:05,674
In that fire about
100 years before this.
347
00:27:14,830 --> 00:27:19,930
It feels like this is not
my imagination anymore.
348
00:27:20,195 --> 00:27:23,331
There was a real history here.
349
00:27:23,332 --> 00:27:27,652
Now it's really starting to feel real.
350
00:27:31,361 --> 00:27:32,863
Where's Coco?
351
00:27:32,864 --> 00:27:35,444
I'm not sure.
352
00:27:43,018 --> 00:27:45,720
How could have she gotten
out? The gate is closed.
353
00:27:45,721 --> 00:27:46,854
I don't know.
354
00:27:46,855 --> 00:27:48,756
- Coco!
- Coco!
355
00:27:48,757 --> 00:27:52,563
We checked the fence. We checked
everything we could think of.
356
00:27:52,564 --> 00:27:54,857
- Coco!
- Coco!
357
00:27:54,858 --> 00:27:57,832
There was no way for her
to get out of that yard.
358
00:27:57,833 --> 00:27:59,775
Come here, girl!
359
00:27:59,776 --> 00:28:02,839
We were calling for her,
yelling into the woods,
360
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,874
hoping that she was somewhere close
by that she would just come back.
361
00:28:06,875 --> 00:28:08,602
Coco!
362
00:28:08,603 --> 00:28:11,417
She was just nowhere to be seen.
363
00:28:11,418 --> 00:28:13,614
- Coco!
- Coco!
364
00:28:13,615 --> 00:28:15,997
And my mom...
365
00:28:15,998 --> 00:28:20,558
Had this feeling that
she had been taken.
366
00:28:23,225 --> 00:28:25,418
I was really upset.
367
00:28:25,419 --> 00:28:29,619
She was part of the family, and I...
368
00:28:30,532 --> 00:28:33,490
Felt like a piece of
our family was missing.
369
00:28:33,491 --> 00:28:36,710
She wasn't there to make
us feel safe anymore.
370
00:28:36,711 --> 00:28:41,115
She wasn't there, watching over the
children while they slept at night.
371
00:28:41,116 --> 00:28:47,016
She wasn't there to warn me if
somebody was coming into the house.
372
00:29:04,278 --> 00:29:09,142
When Brian got home, I was
very glad to have him there.
373
00:29:09,143 --> 00:29:10,823
- Hey.
- Hey.
374
00:29:10,824 --> 00:29:12,080
It's looking pretty good.
375
00:29:12,081 --> 00:29:15,759
I didn't really talk to him about,
376
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,233
the stuff that was going on
in the house while he was gone.
377
00:29:19,234 --> 00:29:21,502
I didn't want him to think
I was crazy, you know?
378
00:29:21,503 --> 00:29:25,337
Who wants to leave a crazy
woman alone with their children?
379
00:29:25,338 --> 00:29:30,210
It made me feel so much
better when he was home.
380
00:29:30,211 --> 00:29:32,813
I want to get some sleep, but
you can watch some TV if you want.
381
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:34,415
Thank you.
382
00:29:34,416 --> 00:29:36,668
- Good night.
- Good night.
383
00:29:36,669 --> 00:29:40,492
I always go to bed before
everybody else because,
384
00:29:40,493 --> 00:29:46,117
I'm the one who gets up and
leaves at 2:30 in the morning.
385
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:47,917
It was a Sunday evening.
386
00:29:47,918 --> 00:29:50,168
Nothing out of the ordinary.
387
00:29:50,169 --> 00:29:53,169
The house was quiet.
388
00:29:55,752 --> 00:30:01,153
I had gotten all the children to bed, and
I settled in pretty early that evening.
389
00:30:01,154 --> 00:30:05,174
It was probably about 8:30, 9:00.
390
00:30:30,252 --> 00:30:32,592
[Whispering]
391
00:30:37,175 --> 00:30:42,215
I started to have a dream
about the little boy.
392
00:30:48,526 --> 00:30:54,426
Only this time, I felt like the little
boy was trying to tell me something.
393
00:30:56,327 --> 00:30:59,087
[Distorted voices]
394
00:31:02,421 --> 00:31:04,581
[Screams]
395
00:31:21,816 --> 00:31:24,816
[Floorboards creaking]
396
00:31:35,463 --> 00:31:40,683
Then it felt as if someone
was standing beside me.
397
00:31:44,008 --> 00:31:46,168
[Screams]
398
00:31:52,131 --> 00:31:53,215
[Screams]
399
00:31:53,216 --> 00:31:54,896
_.
400
00:32:00,596 --> 00:32:03,056
I heard a...
401
00:32:03,553 --> 00:32:07,746
Bloodcurdling screech like I've
never heard before in my life.
402
00:32:07,747 --> 00:32:09,715
[Screaming]
403
00:32:09,716 --> 00:32:14,736
The sound that no mother ever
wants to hear from her child.
404
00:32:14,737 --> 00:32:15,737
Brian.
405
00:32:15,738 --> 00:32:19,395
I know she's freaking out. I know
something's happened to Shaun.
406
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:21,258
Brian.
407
00:32:21,259 --> 00:32:22,338
Brian!
408
00:32:22,339 --> 00:32:25,135
I run down the hall.
409
00:32:25,136 --> 00:32:26,858
What's he doing in the
middle of the floor?
410
00:32:26,859 --> 00:32:27,788
I don't know.
411
00:32:27,789 --> 00:32:31,929
Laying in the middle of the floor...
412
00:32:32,456 --> 00:32:35,756
With his arm twisted up.
413
00:32:36,071 --> 00:32:40,840
I could just see immediately
that his arm was broken.
414
00:32:40,841 --> 00:32:43,121
[Screaming]
415
00:32:44,733 --> 00:32:48,693
He said that the bad man did it.
416
00:32:49,071 --> 00:32:53,260
Maybe he moved on to him
because he didn't have protection
417
00:32:53,261 --> 00:32:57,581
like the little girl was protecting me.
418
00:33:05,182 --> 00:33:07,282
Oh, my.
419
00:33:12,695 --> 00:33:18,215
I'm just thinking if that
happened to one of my kids.
420
00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:30,730
Sorry.
421
00:33:35,727 --> 00:33:38,847
That was a hard time.
422
00:33:52,434 --> 00:33:54,769
We gather everybody up.
423
00:33:54,770 --> 00:33:59,446
Belinda calls her mother, which
is on the way to the hospital.
424
00:33:59,447 --> 00:34:02,865
Brian drove as fast as he could.
425
00:34:02,866 --> 00:34:08,766
I'm just cradling Shaun in my arms, trying
to tell him that everything would be okay.
426
00:34:10,485 --> 00:34:12,186
Nurse!
427
00:34:12,187 --> 00:34:15,426
They're gonna want to
know how this happened.
428
00:34:15,427 --> 00:34:18,838
And the truth didn't seem...
429
00:34:18,839 --> 00:34:20,695
Like they would believe it.
430
00:34:20,696 --> 00:34:22,227
I think his arm's broken.
431
00:34:22,228 --> 00:34:23,518
- It's all right.
- Ow!
432
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:26,527
The kind of break it
is raises suspicion.
433
00:34:26,528 --> 00:34:28,779
Because it's just not a normal break.
434
00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:29,851
Right here for you, buddy.
435
00:34:29,852 --> 00:34:32,941
I think they thought child
abuse at first, but, you know,
436
00:34:32,942 --> 00:34:37,453
they could obviously see that
we were just both devastated.
437
00:34:37,454 --> 00:34:40,247
There was... I mean, because...
438
00:34:40,248 --> 00:34:43,339
There's no way in hell...
439
00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:45,720
I could ever hurt the baby.
440
00:34:45,721 --> 00:34:48,301
[Siren wailing]
441
00:34:48,991 --> 00:34:52,729
After three days, Shaun was
released from the hospital.
442
00:34:52,730 --> 00:34:56,193
My mom had let me borrow
her car to bring him home,
443
00:34:56,194 --> 00:35:00,632
and I was dreading
going back to that house.
444
00:35:00,633 --> 00:35:03,127
It felt violent.
445
00:35:03,128 --> 00:35:05,368
It felt evil.
446
00:35:05,369 --> 00:35:08,446
Who could have done this to my child?
447
00:35:08,447 --> 00:35:11,879
What could have done this to my child?
448
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,154
I kept going over it
and over it in my head.
449
00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:21,055
Thinking about all the times that
Shaun was afraid to go to bed.
450
00:35:21,249 --> 00:35:25,316
I should have listened
to what he was telling me.
451
00:35:25,317 --> 00:35:31,217
Because whatever he was seeing outside
of his window must have finally gotten in.
452
00:35:36,787 --> 00:35:41,231
We had to get out of that house,
and it didn't matter what it took.
453
00:35:41,232 --> 00:35:46,115
Whatever was there, whatever was
hurting my family, was getting stronger.
454
00:35:46,116 --> 00:35:47,082
[Engine knocking]
455
00:35:47,083 --> 00:35:50,083
Oh, no, no, no, no.
456
00:35:53,238 --> 00:35:54,931
The car just shut off.
457
00:35:54,932 --> 00:35:57,752
[Engine sputtering]
458
00:35:59,167 --> 00:36:02,347
Be back in one second.
459
00:36:11,973 --> 00:36:14,449
I didn't know what was wrong with it.
460
00:36:14,450 --> 00:36:16,379
All right, baby, we got to walk.
461
00:36:16,380 --> 00:36:22,280
I got Shaun out of the car, and
we started walking down the road.
462
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:26,530
It was really dark out there.
463
00:36:34,683 --> 00:36:40,583
Suddenly I heard the sound of a
car approaching me from behind.
464
00:36:49,816 --> 00:36:53,959
The car slowed down as it passed by.
465
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,415
Then it rolled the window down.
466
00:36:56,416 --> 00:36:58,680
- Hi.
- Hi. Are you okay?
467
00:36:58,681 --> 00:37:00,932
Yeah, our car broke down the road.
468
00:37:00,933 --> 00:37:02,368
Oh, gosh. Can I give you a ride?
469
00:37:02,369 --> 00:37:04,723
- Yes, please.
- Come on in. It's so cold.
470
00:37:04,724 --> 00:37:06,049
Honey, you got to go in the back.
471
00:37:06,050 --> 00:37:11,950
I was pretty relieved to see someone,
and she had such a friendly face.
472
00:37:13,591 --> 00:37:15,502
Thank you so much for picking us up.
473
00:37:15,503 --> 00:37:17,096
Oh, my pleasure.
474
00:37:17,097 --> 00:37:21,207
We started driving, and I
told her where I lived at.
475
00:37:21,208 --> 00:37:23,010
Yeah, just a few miles up.
476
00:37:23,011 --> 00:37:25,188
We're in a cabin off
the road in the woods.
477
00:37:25,189 --> 00:37:29,928
She said, oh, so you must have
heard the story about that house.
478
00:37:29,929 --> 00:37:32,630
You mean the one about the
fire and the children who died?
479
00:37:32,631 --> 00:37:34,065
She said, no, no.
480
00:37:34,066 --> 00:37:35,975
That wasn't what I meant.
481
00:37:35,976 --> 00:37:41,196
Surely you heard the rumors
of what happened there.
482
00:37:41,941 --> 00:37:44,520
I'm sorry. I probably
shouldn't say anything.
483
00:37:44,521 --> 00:37:47,341
No, please go on.
484
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,961
She called it a rumor.
485
00:37:49,962 --> 00:37:55,862
Rumor has it that there was a man that
was accused of being a child molester.
486
00:37:58,056 --> 00:38:03,036
He went missing in the
woods behind your house.
487
00:38:08,608 --> 00:38:11,413
Some of the local men
lured him into the woods
488
00:38:11,414 --> 00:38:16,154
under a pretext of
going on a hunting trip.
489
00:38:30,295 --> 00:38:33,531
After they got far
enough into the woods...
490
00:38:33,532 --> 00:38:36,352
They ambushed him.
491
00:38:37,733 --> 00:38:40,493
And murdered him.
492
00:38:43,715 --> 00:38:45,875
[Gunshot]
493
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:50,400
And his body was never found.

[Flames roaring]
495
00:39:16,561 --> 00:39:21,057
I was so stunned by what
she had said that I don't
496
00:39:21,058 --> 00:39:26,158
remember the rest of the
ride back to the house.
497
00:39:27,672 --> 00:39:28,906
Thank you.
498
00:39:28,907 --> 00:39:30,408
You're welcome.
499
00:39:30,409 --> 00:39:33,109
Take care, okay?
500
00:39:38,117 --> 00:39:40,697
I knew then...
501
00:39:41,437 --> 00:39:44,197
That it was him.
502
00:39:45,299 --> 00:39:50,372
It was this man who had hurt
other children while he was alive.
503
00:39:50,373 --> 00:39:55,773
And he was now hurting my
children when he was dead.

[Voices whispering]
507
00:40:54,298 --> 00:40:59,802
And we began to hear a noise, a scratching
noise on the outside of the house.
508
00:40:59,803 --> 00:41:01,771
Sounded like something
was trying to get in.

[Scrabbling at walls]
510
00:41:08,446 --> 00:41:13,983
I knew that I had to get my
family away from this house.
511
00:41:13,984 --> 00:41:17,787
I needed to get them away fast...
512
00:41:17,788 --> 00:41:19,948
And far.
513
00:41:20,124 --> 00:41:22,526
I didn't want anyone else to get hurt.

Hey, there. Give me your
hand. Let's go. Let's go.

- Come on. Let's go. Blaire's in the car.
- Okay, let's go.
519
00:41:42,646 --> 00:41:45,411
- Okay, Sweetie?
- We literally up and left.
520
00:41:45,412 --> 00:41:47,484
She's had enough.
521
00:41:47,485 --> 00:41:49,040
We're moving.
522
00:41:49,041 --> 00:41:52,161
I was fine with that.
523
00:41:57,027 --> 00:41:59,907
I never went back.
524
00:42:09,707 --> 00:42:12,288
I think when we first moved in there,
525
00:42:12,289 --> 00:42:15,061
the innocent playful things
that were happening...
526
00:42:15,062 --> 00:42:18,144
Um, were the children.
527
00:42:18,145 --> 00:42:23,269
I feel that they were trying
to protect my family from...
528
00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:25,705
The man that hurt Shaun.
529
00:42:25,706 --> 00:42:30,026
Stay away from him. He's the bad man.
530
00:42:30,609 --> 00:42:33,815
The stronger the violence got...
531
00:42:33,816 --> 00:42:36,734
The more powerful he became.
532
00:42:36,735 --> 00:42:42,214
To the point where the children were
unable to protect us from him anymore.
533
00:42:42,215 --> 00:42:46,355
And, he was finally able to get in.
534
00:42:46,909 --> 00:42:50,372
Thinking back on everything...
535
00:42:50,373 --> 00:42:55,461
It just makes me wonder what really
happened before we moved into that house.
536
00:42:55,462 --> 00:43:01,362
