NARRATOR: Centuries of history surround Pontefract.
The evening shadow begins to fall across the old town.
This evening, we're outside 30 East Drive,
also known as the Black Monk House.
The poltergeist activity in this house
is said to be some of the most vicious in Europe,
if not the whole world.
In 1966, Joe and Jean Pritchard
moved in to this house behind me
with their children, Philip and Diane.
The horrors that then took place are the stuff of nightmares.
- What was that? - I think I just got scratched.
[BLEEP]
- [BLEEP] - My god!

KATRINA: A year ago, Nick and I faced down
one of the most harrowing hauntings of our careers
at the Hinsdale house in upstate New York.
I feel like something doesn't want me here,
that there is something in this woods.
- Aah! - Whoa.
Nick?
Are you all right? I heard you scream.
Oh. Whoa. That is, like, oppressive.
Ah, [BLEEP]. [BLEEP] Damn it!
What are you?
Ever since I've left the Hinsdale house,
there's something that's been haunting my home,
haunting my family, and haunting my dreams.
It's 3:15 right now.
I was just woken up by a nightmare.
It's almost like you can still feel it lingering around me.
KATRINA: For weeks after leaving, Nick had nightmares
and was woken up at 3:00 A.M.
By a woman warning him about the Hinsdale house.
And Dan, the owner of the house,
has captured spirit voices asking, "Where is Nick?"
NICK: It's 3:00 A.M. again. I'm in my basement.
And I'm hearing this loud banging sound
coming from somewhere in my house.
Right there.
It almost feels like it's lingering with me.
KATRINA: But whatever entity we encountered there
wasn't finished with us.
VERONICA: Nick, wake up.
Veronica w... Woke me up out of my,
um, my dead sleep.
And she said that someone was in our house.
There's somebody walkin' around.
And... but when I went to the security camera,
we both saw this...
This apparition just walking around in our basement.
VERONICA: Nick, I'm really scared.
Stay up here.
Stay up here with the kids.
Who is there?!
Show yourself right now!
I'm down in my basement. It led us down here.
I told Veronica to stay upstairs.
There's something in our house.
I just set up Steve huff's brand-new portal wonder box.
I never do this. I never investigate my house.
But I have to try to figure out what is going on.
I have to try to make contact.
VERONICA: There she is, Nick.
NICK: Go ahead. Push.
Is there someone here with me?
Did you follow me to my house?
[ INDISTINCT ]
Yes, you did?
[ INDISTINCT ]
Did you just say "yes"?
[ INDISTINCT ]
Is my house haunted?
Come back to where?
[ INDISTINCT ]
Where did you come from?
[ INDISTINCT ]
I'm gettin' goose bumps right now all over my body.
[ INDISTINCT ]
Ah, there's somethin' here with me.
Are you from the Hinsdale?
Dead?
You're dead?
Where do you want me to go? What should I do?
[ INDISTINCT ]
Pontefract?
You just said "Pontefract"?
Where? Pontefract, England?
I think there's somethin' else
that is lingering from the Hinsdale
that has a connection with the Black Monk House.
How could that be possible?
No. Enough is enough.
No more.
Enough is enough.
The Black Monk House
is a famous case in Pontefract, England.
People say it's the most violent poltergeist ever known.
And I've been reading about it for years.
But I don't know what it has to do with Hinsdale.
I don't know if activity can be connected between two locations.
And I wanna talk to the demonologist John zaffis
to see if there's a possible connection
between Hinsdale and the Black Monk House.
Ever since we left hinsdale house,
we've had weird things happening to us.
Hinsdale never felt right to me when we were researching it,
when we were looking into it.
And I think we, like,
threw all the boundaries out the window for that.
I think there's something bigger happening here
with the Black Monk House.
When you have a... A severe poltergeist,
something that is just labeled
as the most violent poltergeist in the history of Europe,
I don't know how locations can have that much power.
That's why we're coming to you 'cause years of experience...
ZAFFIS: Yeah.
What do you think we're dealin' with?
This case is... Dates back into the 1960s.
The children was choked in the house.
And things would get broken. Things would get thrown around.
It was a horrific poltergeist case.
I don't think there's any boundaries, uh,
in regards to whether spirit can travel.
I always tell everybody, "Please be very guarded.
"Be very careful." Why?
I've seen a lot of good paranormal people
get destroyed by these things
that we call devils and demons.
We're dealing with things that are very ugly,
very nasty, and very demonic.
The negative spirits do not forget who we are.
- Yeah. - They just don't.
And they can resurface when you least expect it.
With certain pieces of property and locations,
um, we're drawn to them.
And I feel like there's that connection within the...
The spirit realm.
Some of us, this is our journey.
This is our lives.
That's why you always must keep your guard up 24/7
when you're in any type of these locations,
especially the monk house.
The demonic work in a network.
So if one entity knows who you are,
the rest of them know who you are.
Their whole purpose is to find us,
manipulate us, control us, and ruin us.
I've worked with investigators
who have completely lost their whole lives
from working on these types of cases.
It... it... They become obsessed.
It takes over their life.
And negativity enters their life.
And Nick is having a lot of stuff happen at...
At his house and with his family
that seems to be directly caused from Hinsdale.
And now he wants to go and do the black monk case.
Is it the wisest choice? I can't say that for sure.
But I can't let him go alone.
So, what do you think?
I mean, we're pretty much running out of choices.
And everything John is saying to us is, "Don't go there."
We have no other choice. It's almost, like, leading us.
- Right, but... - It wants something from us.
I think everything that John said is real and true.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
This is our only choice.
We have to go to the Black Monk House.
We have to go all the way and put an end to this.
NARRATOR: The two-story brick house
at 30 East Drive is indistinguishable
from any other in the quiet suburb of Pontefract, England.
But behind its unassuming facade
resides one of the most darkly aggressive
paranormal forces in the world.
Set on a hill once soaked
by the bloodiest battles in the english civil war,
the house garnered widespread infamy in August 1966,
when the Pritchard family was plagued
by increasingly violent, unexplainable phenomena.
Joe Pritchard was never the same
after encountering a dark entity in the coal room,
while his son, Philip, was tormented
by flying objects and menacing noises.
The family's grandfather clock was hurled at Joe's wife, Jean.
And at the height of the frenzy, their daughter, Diane,
was pulled up a flight of stairs
by invisible hands at her throat.
What was that?
Bloody hell do you think you're playing at?!
NARRATOR: Local legend gave way
to international attention in 2012
when the house became the subject of a horror film.
Go! Aah!
NARRATOR: In the years that followed,
amateur and professional paranormal investigators
flocked to the home, expecting big-screen thrills.
But many fled, horrified by the realities
of the home's dark inhabitants.
To unravel all the mysteries of the Black Monk House,
Nick and Katrina must embark
on an unprecedented 100-hour investigation.
NICK: The nightmares have been just driving me crazy.
I won't lie. I'm scared.
I think this is the first time in a very long time
that I've actually been scared.
Man, I can't believe we're finally here,
traveling thousands of miles to get here
and researching for years to come to this location.
I don't think we're dealing with a "poltergeist."
I think we're dealing with something
that's much bigger, much more knowledgeable.
And I think this...
I think it's been watching us.
In our dreams, in our nightmares.
It's been already tryin' to break us down.
I feel like something's very aware of us.
It started from Hinsdale.
I think the minute we walked onto that property,
we've been watched.
Is this it right here?
Can you stop here? I'm gonna get out.
I have to see the house. This is the house?
Yeah. It's right here.
Wow. My whole entire career has led up to this.
I think once we go through that gate,
we can't turn back, you know?
My first thought on seeing the house is that it's so tiny
that I can't believe these horrific events happened here.
What we've been doin' for the last year,
you just feel drawn to this spot.
And here we are, standing here.
I never thought we'd be here right now.
It's... it's so personal.
There's somethin' so strange about this.
KATRINA: Sometimes, evil does lurk
in the nicest of neighborhoods, the nicest of families.
And you can't judge a book by its cover
when it comes to this stuff.
It feels a little overwhelming.
And I feel like we're almost walkin' into a trap.
Are you ready?
NICK: 3,000 miles from home in Pontefract, England,
we are finally face to face
with the greatest challenge of our careers...
The Black Monk House.
Wow. This is really overwhelming.
KATRINA: Mm-hmm.
Everything's been leading up to this moment,
in my dreams, my nightmares.
Well, I think...
It feels a little nervous about walkin' into...
Almost like we're walkin' into a trap.
That's a good way to put it.
I think, though, before we go in, um,
we should get caught up on the history.
Okay.
All right.
- You ready? - Yeah.
KATRINA: After reading everything I've read
on the Black Monk House, I'm definitely scared.
We don't really know what we're walking into at this point.
I just know that what I feel right now
is that it's so much bigger than just the Black Monk House.
NICK: To arm ourselves with information,
we visit Mike, a local historian.
He'll be able to give us the area's bloody background,
which we believe is contributing to the terror at 30 East Drive.
Mike? Hey. I'm Katrina.
Thanks for meeting us.
- This is Nick. - How ya doin'?
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet ya.
KATRINA: Uh, so, like we said on the phone,
we're doing research on Pontefract.
And we have some holes in our... in our stories.
And we were hoping maybe you could fill them in.
Certainly.
What is it about Pontefract that makes it so special?
Well, there's just so many stories and layers of...
Of dark history, especially with, you know, the civil war,
the pilgrimage of the grace.
You know, there was a lot, uh,
of bloodshed on the land where we're stood right now.
What about 30 East Drive?
How far is that from where we're standin' right now?
- Is it pretty close? - Yeah.
It's not just the fact that it's close to where we are now,
but it's right across the road from one of the biggest,
bloodiest battles of the civil war,
the battle of chequerfield, which was quite famous.
If you look through the historical maps,
30 East Drive is a junction and always has been.
Now, junctions in... In British history
are normally associated with two quite sinister aspects...
Suicides and public executions.
Really? So 30 East Drive seems
to be kind of the epicenter of a lot of horrible things.
Certainly is. It certainly does. Yeah.
In terms of the historical aspects of Pontefract,
all those overlying layers
all seem to match up in one particular area,
which is 30 East Drive.
It sounds like you have all this bloodshed.
And here's the first layer,
where everything kind of ramps up in history.
And then that gets destroyed.
And then somethin' builds on top of it.
Then the civil war. Then all the other history...
The executions, the murders.
Everything just keeps layering and layering up to this point.
Historically, there's layers and layers of tragedy, death,
murder resulting in that energy.
There's this great black cloud overlying this area.
So I really appreciate
you meeting with us, talkin' with us.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you. Thank you, Mike.
Take care. Good talking to you.
- Bye-bye. - That's crazy.
The history here is so much darker and bloodier
than I ever thought it was.
And if it adds to the hauntings at the Black Monk House,
then we're gonna be walking right into hell.
NICK: Now that Mike has given us
a tour of the area's tormented past,
we head to meet an expert on the black monk,
author Andy Evans,
whose book chronicles his experience at 30 East Drive,
along with the history of the hauntings.
Thanks, Andy, for meeting with us.
Really appreciate it.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
We've done a ton of research.
And we really just want to dig a little bit
deeper on something maybe we've missed.
And you've written a book on the Black Monk House.
Do you wanna tell us a little bit more of what you've learned?
Um, I mean, I went into the house more accidentally.
A colleague of mine had watched the film
"When The Lights Went Out."
And they were fascinated by the house.
I eventually took him to 30 East Drive and showed him.
And from that day then,
I just couldn't believe what were happenin'.
That house kinda drew you to it?
Definitely.
Do you know the case of the monk?
Do you know if that's a true fact,
that this person was hung for murdering and raping a child?
I went and researched East Drive as it would've been.
Uh, this is probably 300 years ago.
It was actually an enclosed orchard.
Monks were... Were farming all this land.
So this is where the legend of the black monk comes in, then?
Yeah.
Local legend has it... Early 1600s,
the white monks lived in local private.
Um, one, unfortunately, had a liking for young girls.
And he'd raped and... And murdered a young girl.
As legend goes, they threw him in a local well.
- Oh, geez. - Wow.
Um, in 1812, on the maps, there is a well there.
It falls in with East Drive, where it is now.
- So this where the house was? - Yeah.
During late '60s, when the...
The poltergeist activity started, um, they all...
They automatically referred to it
as being the black monk.
Monks, uh, had stayed in Pontefract's history.
My personal opinion is it presented itself
as they wanted it to present itself,
uh, if you... if you understand what I'm sayin'.
- So they made the connection. - It's manipulative.
It's very manipulative.
Yeah, and they made the connection knowing that
the monks that lived there at one point, right?
That's what you're saying? Everyone kinda knows that?
Andy, I can't thank you enough for meeting with us.
Thank you. Thanks for giving me time and...
This definitely helped with our research.
Can I just warn you?
We found that activity does increase
when we get bad weather.
And we are gettin' a bad weather forecast.
So just, please, bear that in mind.
Just, please, be very careful what you're doin'.
We will. And try and stay together.
Thank you. Good luck.
All right, Andy. Good luck.
We'll talk soon. Thanks.
NICK: We are as prepared as we'll ever be
to face down the black monk.
But as we return to the house,
there's one last person we need to talk to.
Carol has lived next door for almost 30 years
and is no stranger to the sinister activity at the house.
So you live here, next door.
And how long have you lived here?
29 years.
So, then, did you know the family
that lived here during the haunting?
Yes, I did. They were the most loving couple.
Joe liked to drink. He liked to party.
Well, till he got locked in the coal house.
And he come out of there a broken man.
- How bad did that get? - It affected him bad.
He didn't want to be in this house. He wanted to move.
But Jean was very strong and wouldn't move.
No one weren't movin' her out of her dream home.
What happened to Joe? Did he pass away in this house?
Yes.
I feel, like, drawn. I feel drawn to that window up there.
Like, somebody dark. Yep.
Like, a dark, negative figure is lookin' at us.
He'd been out for a night, got drunk.
He got up in the middle of the night. He vomited.
He choked on his vomit.
And he had a massive heart attack
and collapsed on the bathroom floor and died.
That's a horrible way to die.
Where's the bathroom?
This window here.
Yes, yes, yes. I didn't even know that.
That's where I kept drawing. Like, I kept seeing,
like, a black figure. It was lookin' at me.
The whole time, I had no clue.
So, do you think that whatever is here
contributed to his death?
Oh, definitely. Definitely.
What do you think is in there?
There's not one thing in there.
There's a few things in there.
You think there's something evil, that is overpowering?
Definitely. It's a demon.
That's what we believe.
It's not nice at all. It growls.
Let's just put it that way. It growls.
And when it growls, you run.
And I've had people say to me, "Why don't you move?"
I know it can follow me.
And I won't give it that opportunity,
uh, to invade another life somewhere else.
So once you walk through that door,
it'll always know you.
I feel like we have to confront this.
But I'm so nervous. I won't lie.
I'm... I'm actually frightened a little bit.
Don't walk through that door and say, "Oh, I'm not scared,"
'cause I guarantee you will be within the hour.
Don't do it.
Don't put power of thought into it,
'cause it's listening all the time.
Yeah.
Can you show us around really quick?
Can we walk through, just to get our bearings,
where we're gonna be?
I'd rather not take you 'round the house
'cause I do not like the house whatsoever.
But I have a good, dear friend of the family.
He will take you around the house.
He's... he's, uh, known about this house
since he was 8 years old.
Can you tell him maybe to meet us inside?
Yeah. That's fine, yeah.
We'll see you in a little bit. Thank you.
All right. You ready to go in here?
No. You're not?
After hearin' that story, I mean, I have my guard up now.
I just felt something move up behind my back.
I have my guard up now.
It smells funny. Oh, wow.
Doesn't it feel like you just walked into something
that you shouldn't have?
You know, like, I... I feel like I have, like,
a weight pressing down on my arms and my shoulders.
It does feel oppressive in here, doesn't it?
I'm really shaky right now.
Well, the fact that you're nervous says a lot.
You know why? 'Cause we're not dealing with spirit.
I know.
We're dealing with something inhumane, something evil.
And that's what's making me nervous.
Do you know who we are?!
I just felt something move up behind my back.
Are you serious?
Yeah. I'm feelin'...
I feel very weird. I do, too, right now.
Like, I feel, like, really... I feel confused.
We haven't even walked in for two seconds.
Rob, do you feel anything?
ROB: Yeah. It feels, like, thick.
Like... like you...
Every step is an effort, you know?
So it's not just us, then.
No. Like, it feels... It... it feels heavy.
I think there's somethin'...
[BLEEP] what?
Thought I just saw the chandelier just... whoosh...
Move and then stop.
You can see that, right?
Man, I feel so [BLEEP] aggressive. Ugh!
My mind feels just like it wants to explode.
This is gonna be a long...
We should talk to Phil,
set a plan of attack and get all of our equipment
because right now, it's just, like...
We're feeling emotions and everything.
But we need to validate and document this.
So let's... let's talk to Phil.
NICK: Phil grew up in the neighborhood
and serves as an unofficial caretaker for the house.
Hello, there. Hi. I'm Phil.
- Phil, Katrina. - Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Welcome to England.
You just wouldn't believe the things
that would happen in this house.
If we go through over here, we got the coal well.
KATRINA: This is where... This is where Joe was...
This was where Joe...
Oh, wow. Oh, my god.
He went in. It's a little...
This is the original door what was in the house.
- Okay. - Why...
As you can see on the door, there's no locks.
So there's no, physically there, that can hold you in.
I'm gonna close it for just a second.
Yeah. Go ahead.
But yet...
Try to get out, Kat.
Wow. So he was stuck in there and couldn't get out.
No. He could not. And he tried. And he tried.
And he tried to barrel out his way out of here.
Well, you wanna show us the rest?
Are these... are these always like this, crooked?
We come in and used to...
And those straightened this morning before you come in.
Yeah. I walked in here. That's the first thing I saw.
They're, like, suddenly crooked or somethin'.
We come in here a good few week ago,
and there were a knife lodged in there.
There was a knife? A knife.
We do not like knives in this property.
Why don't you like...?
Because things get thrown.
I'm feeling weird.
KATRINA: Because of the dark cases I worked on,
I actually took a five-year break
from working with clients in general.
And that is a direct cause
of working with what we call the demonic.
I just realized... I didn't think about it till now.
The very first demonic case I went on 10 years ago,
I remember I walked in.
And I felt a bunch of different things.
I felt sick. I felt whatever.
But the one thing I do remember I felt
was this feeling of, like, just complete...
Being completely drained every time I went in the house.
And this is reminding me of that.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
Are you serious? Yeah. I'm not kidding.
Katrina just mentions demonic hauntings,
and something just hits me with a force.
Whatever you just said, you just triggered somethin'.
The thing just, like, went through into my body.
And my eyes...
Oh, I'm gonna be sick.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
You said somethin', and it just triggered it.
What did I s...
I was talking about my first demonic case I went on.
Oh, stop talkin' about that.
Is that it? Can't sit there.
It just, like, literally just [BLEEP] breezed by my face.
I had to walk away from that. I didn't wanna feel that again.
Like, you look really scared.
Well, I'm feelin' it. I'm not lying.
Yeah. No, no, no, no.
I mean, I'm confirming, like, you look scared.
You look shaken. Well, I am.
Someone's walkin' down the steps.
Who is that?
Feet. Just walkin' down the steps.
You guys heard that, right? Did everyone hear that?
That was feet walkin' on carpet down these steps.
Here we have the stairs.
These are the stairs where Diane was taken
from top to bottom, dragged up by her throat.
You're still here, aren't you?
NICK: The victim of the greatest violence
was the pritchards' teen daughter, Diane,
who was pulled up the stairs
by her throat from an unseen force.
BATES: Dragging her with some speed.
Now, you gotta bear in mind, she's a young woman.
What could possibly grab you?
So that would take a pretty strong force physically.
What has that power and that energy
to just grab somebody around the neck
and just drag you up the stairs?
Now, as you see up top, there's a clock.
The original grandmother clock was chucked down the stairs.
- It landed in pieces. - Hmm.
That clock does not work, but you will hear it tick.
And you will hear it chime.
In all the house, you will get marbles chucked at you.
You will get stones chucked at you.
You will get screws getting chucked at you.
Where they come from, we don't know.
KATRINA: I was just about to ask that.
Philip's room... we have had a lot of people being...
Let's say, affected in this room.
You get lots of activity.
Did... did Joe pass away up here?
BATES: Uh, he actually died in here.
- Joe passed away in here? - Yes.
Uh, a heart attack. Choked on his own vomit.
And that was during the '70s that happened or...?
Yeah.
What's wrong?
Did you just push me?
BATES: I seen your jacket. I saw your jacket go then.
I saw your jacket. I saw your jacket go then.
I felt a hand just push on my back right here.
But I heard this clock. Does this clock work?
I heard it goin' "ch-ch-ch-ch"
and then I felt the hand push.
Don't work.
So I wanna ask you, has anybody said they've seen a man
with, like, hair about this length?
Why'd you ask that?
I kept it to myself. But when we were...
When we were standing here,
and I could see you in the mirror,
I looked up for a second, and it wasn't you.
It was, like, this guy with kind of,
like, uh, like, dirty blonde, almost light-brown hair.
Are you serious?
No. You just carry on going as you're going.
End of the week. What you get.
It almost kind of looked like it was balding in the front.
But it was, like, here and kind of shaggy.
Who's she describing?
You're possibly describing Joe then.
- Who? - Joe.
- Joe? - Who died.
That's who you're possibly describing.
But people see him in different ways.
Oh, my gosh. I just got goose bumps.
All right. Thanks, Phil, for, um, showing us around.
Can you get Carol for us now?
Not a problem, mate. She can lock us in.
Enjoyed meeting you. All right. Thank you.
And enjoy your stay. Okay. Thanks.
We just got more activity on that walk-through
than most investigators get on an entire investigation.
I would very much say
that this is leading me to believe this is demonic.
What does it want from us?
It wants us.
Why, though? Why does it want us?
Because we've messed with it. It knows us.
All right. Let's get a last breath of fresh air.
All right. Carol, please lock us in.
I want these spirits and whatever else is in here
to know that we truly are confined
to this location for 100 hours.
And you have the only key.
So unlock us at that 100 hours.
And if anything happens, don't open that door.
Nobody's gonna get in. Nobody's gonna get out.
Trust me on that one. You're gonna get locked in.
And I wish you all the luck in the world.
- You're gonna need it. - Trust me.
All right. Lock this door.
NICK: Katrina and I are chained into 30 East Drive,
confined to this property, under lock and key,
for 100 hours.
NICK: So, we have an arsenal of equipment.
Yeah, we do. It's gonna be crazy.
We have our standard digital recorder.
We have our spirit box.
And then, these guys... Just little static sensors.
So, any time there is static electricity
around it, it should light up blue.
We have a new portable geobox.
I love it. It's portable now.
Yeah. And the voices are much clearer, too.
It works on radio frequency. It works on emf.
And it also works on vibrational waves.
So it's gonna modulate all of them.
And we're gonna be able to hear it coming through this speaker.
So we have our laser grid.
We can use this to try to indicate shadows, apparitions,
anything else that might occur in the phenomena
and break the laser beams. Yeah.
You ready to do this? Yeah.
We have a long, long time ahead of us.
Hopefully, all the equipment we have
can validate some of these claims.
Let's just go full-blast into this.
Into it.
KATRINA: I had a case 10 years ago.
And it was my first demonic case,
but we didn't know it was demonic.
So we went thinking it was just a normal,
everyday kind of haunting. Yeah.
Didn't put too much stock into it.
Every single time I walked into that house, I got nauseous.
I had headaches.
I just had very negative thoughts
about all the people around me.
And I felt completely drained.
Like, that is an entity that has shown up
throughout my career multiple times.
So the fact that you said you were feeling sick
and you almost felt like something took over you...
And I don't wanna jump the gun
because I really don't know what's here.
But my fear is that maybe it's that same entity.
Forget the paranormal. Like, this is our lives.
We're... we're playing with fire here.
Personally, I want to confront it.
But what do you personally wanna do?
What's the accomplishment here?
What's the endgame for us? Or is there one?
Endgame. I don't think there is one.
If we can focus and just get our equipment ready,
get ready for the night and keep moving through...
Can anybody hear us in this house?!
It's just the three of us in here now...
Katrina, Rob, and myself.
You already know us.
You've been playing games, hiding, making noises.
KATRINA: Making us feel sick.
Can you knock something off the wall again?
What's wrong?
It just feels really weird up there.
- Upstairs? - Just looking up there.
I wanna capture it. I wanna document it.
It's so [BLEEP] weird you said that.
Why? Were you thinking it?
No.
Just because he said that,
and I'm, like, protective over my family,
so protective, you know.
It's like I got angry there for a second.
Okay.
You've really got our attention.
It's getting cold.
The temperature's dropping right here.
What is it that you would do
if you could actually be here with us right now?
Do you just hear us?
Why can't that clock fall again, on the top of the stairs?
Why is it so difficult to move things?
Do you need a lot of energy?
Okay.
You've really got our attention.
It's getting cold.
The temperature's dropping right here.
What is it that you would do
if you could actually be here with us right now?
Do you just hear us?
Why can't that clock fall again,
on the top of the stairs?
Why is it so difficult to move things?
Do you need a lot of energy?
[ STATIC ]
It's saying something.
[ STATIC ]
Hold on.
Need a lot of energy?
[ GASPS ]
Do you know Latin?
No. Was it... oh, god. Was it speaking Latin?
To me, it sounds Latin.
I'm getting chills.
I got the shakes. And I got the static charge.
Listen to this, guys.
This is so [BLEEP] weird.
[ STATIC ]
Desparata. What is desparata?
- What did you hear? - You did not hear that?
- No. - Moving.
I did not hear it.
Like wshhhh!
Something being dragged.
- Desparata. - Desparata.
- Look that up. - It's something like that.
That is a... i think...
I have a translator on my phone. I can look it up.
Yes. Please do.
Oh, I feel chills.
Want me to do it now?
Ooh, it's not good, something bad.
- Desparata. - Look that up.
Desparata.
NICK: We're so exhausted.
I mean, we've been up for so long.
Now, it's time to lay in some of the most haunted spots.
[ CLATTERING ]
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
The door opened.
[ CLATTERING ]
I'm exhausted.
This door opened on its own last night.
God, it's hot.
I know it is.
- Did you sleep? - I got scared at first.
Did you?
I had this shut.
I mean, I-i literally jumped.
And I thought something was behind me.
I kept waking up, and I was staying awake.
Then, suddenly, boom.
Thanks.
I'm, like, shaking.
What's wrong?
Uh, everything.
NICK: Let's go in here and try to see
if we can talk to whatever's in here.
Did you come from this closet?
Pretty quiet in this room.
Quiet so far, yeah.
Can you roll this ball for us?
Can you roll that ball?
Can you tell us what you need?
If I take this ball right here and put it here,
can you try to push it across the floor
so the cameras can see it?
Thank you.
So the cameras can see it?
Good job!
That was awesome.
Here's the thing, though... Now we're welcoming it.
Mm-hmm.
- Are we talking to a little kid? - We might not be.
It just touches it lightly.
Right? So it's like, "Oh, this is innocent,"
not, like voof!
It flies across the room or anything.
So we might have gotten a ball captured on camera moving.
- Yeah. Let's review that. - Okay.
Everything just slowly became calm.
It's almost like the atmosphere settled,
like it was building up all this energy again
and ready to jump out and attack us.
And I started to feel agitated.
Poltergeists don't always happen on cue.
Mm-mmm.
Poltergeists happen when they want to happen.
We can be sitting here and suddenly, it...
And that's... to be honest,
I'm not so sure we're dealing with a poltergeist.
You think we're dealing with a demon, huh?
Well, I think we're...
Whatever you wanna label as demon.
[ CLICK ]
- You guys heard that, right? - Yeah.
What was that?
What the [BLEEP] is that?
Did you hear that?
It was like a low...
Something just hit me on the back.
Something just was thrown at me.
What was thrown at you?
I don't know.
Where'd it go?
I literally just got hit by something in the back.
- You guys didn't see that? - No.
It hit me right back here. I felt boom.
And then I heard it hit the ground.
- I just stepped on something. - Oh, what is that?
What the [BLEEP] get the [BLEEP] out of there.
Something just was thrown at me.
What was thrown at you?
I don't know.
- I just stepped on something. - Oh, what is that?
What the [BLEEP]! Get the [BLEEP] out of there.
- What is it? - A marble.
Are you kidding me?
I got hit in the back by that.
In all the house, you will get marbles chucked at you.
You guys can hear that hitting the ground, right?
I heard it on your mic.
How'd this come out of thin air?
Classic poltergeist activity.
All right. You're freaking me out.
I had a dream about this place,
and things were materializing.
It was the night before we came.
You're tripping me out. Are you serious?
Yeah. Which makes me wonder
if your dream is gonna come true next.
What do you mean?
Well, if my dream...
My dream wasn't b... My dream was bad.
I know. That's what I'm saying.
You can't say that.
NICK: So we have lasers running down the staircase.
If anything breaks the shadow,
the camera right there that's strictly infrared night-vision
will capture it.
I'm hoping we'll see something pass through the shadows.
You saw something fly?
Yeah. There was, like, an anomaly.
So let's sum this up, because the sun's coming up.
We should probably lay down and get another hour of sleep.
I can't believe...
I feel like it's progressively getting worse.
Which makes sense,
because if you think about the pritchards,
that's what it was for them.
It just progressively got worse.
I can't believe we went all night.
That's insane.
NICK: We're gonna sleep at the Black Monk House
to go through the poltergeist activity.
We have to truly live there, in the environment, 100 hours
to see for ourself if it is really haunted.
Good morning.
KATRINA: Nicky?
This is crazy, what we're doing.
I know.
[ SIGHS ]
Knowing that you guys came here
to basically rid yourselves of it...
KATRINA: Yeah.
It has the home-field advantage.
Why would it even come out in the first place?
The whole point of these more intelligent, darker things
is to break you down, to ruin your life,
to put negativity into your life.
It feels like we're in a war, but this is just one battle.
It's... it's a continuation of Hinsdale.
It's a continuation of,
I'm sure, the next place we go that feels like this.
You know, they all know you, so it's...
They're tracking us.
It's weird. I just feel weird.
Nick, when you were sick, what did it feel like?
Extremely ill, like something was trying
to channel through my body is the best way to describe it.
And just sick and, like, evil was, like,
just suddenly grabbed ahold of me
and was trying to, like...
...get at you, you know?
Yeah. I keep thinking, like,
why isn't it taking advantage of this?
Yeah.
This is a great golden opportunity to...
- Right. - ...mess with us.
Yeah.
NICK: Now we're getting late into the day.
The house is shifting.
KATRINA: We're vulnerable right now.
We're new to this location.
I mean, it's trying to feed and figure us out.
"How do I break it?"
How do I get to this person? How do I use them?
How do I make them go against each other?
"What's gonna be their fear?"
And if that's the case, then it already knows all that.
[ OBJECT TAPS ]
- You heard that thump, right? - Mm-hmm, I heard that.
That knife, was that the sound we just heard?
That wasn't there. I just walked upstairs.
It wasn't sitting there.
- What do you think? - I heard it plain as day.
And I know that that thing was...
It was up on that ledge.
NICK: All right. Before we move...
I think that's a warning.
I think if it wanted to throw it at you, it could have.
You know what, though, Rob?
Like, it's a warning, and I hear you,
and you're absolutely right.
But at this part, it's like, what is a warning anymore?
Like, I keep getting warnings.
- I keep getting pushed. - Right.
I keep getting touched. I keep feeling ill.
Like, there is no warnings.
I think... I think it's not a warning.
I think it's way past that.
The warning was in our dreams
and our nightmares before we got here.
That was the warning.
I think this is trying to build energy to throw it at us.
I don't think it's necessarily, "Here's a warning."
I'm pushing it down the stairs.
"Next time, it's gonna come at you."
I think it's trying to come at us.
It just hasn't had the opportunity
to do it or the right energy to push it.
I don't... I don't know, man. This is just my theory.
This is my guess, but I go off my gut instinct.
And I think my instinct's right on this one.
When we least expect it...
Just naturally talking... When we start feeling comfortable.
I mean, noises all around us.
We go downstairs... Noise downstairs.
Go upstairs... noise upstairs.
Breath coming up the stairway,
like, what the [BLEEP].
Do you know what I mean?
This thing is confusing the crap out of us and...
[ MYSTERIOUS GROWLING ]
What was that?
Was that a growl?
NICK: That knife, was that the sound we just heard?
That wasn't there. I just walked upstairs.
It wasn't sitting there.
I mean, noises all around us.
We go downstairs... Noise downstairs.
Go upstairs... noise upstairs.
Breath coming up the stairway.
Like, what the [BLEEP] do you know what I mean?
This thing is confusing the crap
out of us and...
[ MYSTERIOUS GROWLING ]
- What was that? - Was that a growl?
This thing is confusing the crap out of us and...
What was that?
Was that a growl?
There's no more warnings. This is a fight.
[BLEEP] knives flying and [BLEEP].
Being in this house,
it's almost like being next to a coiled snake.
It seems calm,
but it could attack at any moment.
Where do you wanna start tonight?
I was thinking the stairs. Yeah.
You wanna go to the stairs? I do.
Let's walk around and try the itc.
- Okay. - Weldon's video ghost box.
Keith weldon specifically designed this.
And it's really cool because it works
on instrumental transcommunication,
which basically manipulates the signal
that's coming in here, radio frequency that we'll scan.
And also, you'll be able to hear the audible sound
that spirits can communicate and modulate.
And also, we'll be able to see a visual.
So it's basically like the geobox but also visual.
That's exactly it. Yeah.
So I'm hoping we can see the shadow figures
of the man that's been seen here.
It's the video-phone to the dead.
Tell me what you want from us!
- Yeah. - Die.
Oh.
It just said "die."
That was terrifying.
Who are you?!
Do you see that?
- Footsteps. - That was loud.
It ran for it, ran up the stairs.
NICK: Upon reviewing the itc footage of this moment,
we discover this figure looming at the top of the stairs.
ROB: You all right?
I don't know, man. I don't feel right.
Did you hear something, Rob?
I swear, I just heard something right here,
literally right behind me.
What did you hear?
It was, like, a low growl.
Are you walking around up here
and pacing back and forth?
It feels strange in this room.
It's heavy in here.
What was that?
[ KNOCKS ON DOOR ]
[ DOOR CREAKING ]
Okay. I opened the closet door
so you can come out.
Do you still feel it in here?
Not over here, no.
Where do you think it moved to?
I don't know. I have no clue.
I walked in here,
and I got really dizzy and antsy.
What about you?
I can feel that something
is just kind of hovering and waiting.
And it's just right there, waiting to make its move.
Doesn't it seem like it calmed down?
Let's just walk through the house.
And then, all of a sudden, it flips.
This house is very strange.
So it's time for bed.
Um, we've been up all night investigating.
It's, like, 6:00 A.M.
I'm exhausted. I'm gonna sleep in here.
We have a pretty good shot of the door.
So if anything happens, we have it on camera.
This place has completely drained us
for the last couple days.
I'm gonna go get Katrina, see if she's up.
Then I'll go get Rob.
Hey, good morning.
- Morning. - Good morning.
[BLEEP]
NICK: Nearing the 72-hour Mark of our lockdown,
we can't help but think we would normally be
preparing to leave.
It's raining outside today.
You can see these droplets on the window.
We set up all of our cameras.
We have our 3D mapping imaging camera over there.
And also, we have our itc,
instrumental transcommunication.
And I just feel confused.
I feel so confu... it's moving.
I checked it. It's empty.
There's no batteries. It's [BLEEP] going nuts.
This thing is going nuts.
It was actually going fast a second ago.
And now it's, like, coming to a pace.
Lookit... See, it's, like, moving,
but there's no batteries. It doesn't work.
You know, the... if... You know what I mean?
That clock's been stuck on the same time for 4 days now.
I don't know. It's getting weird.
I just... I don't feel right.
You okay?
[ SIGHS ]
You all right?
What's going on? I'm gonna be sick.
Ugh [BLEEP].
Is my nose bleeding?
ROB: We were all feeling it.
It's like it was spread out
between the three of us every other time.
And now it's all completely on Nick.
KATRINA: That's a really good point.
It's centering on him.
I think he opens himself up a lot without realizing it.
It's like, right up front, it wanted to show him
what it can do.
And so maybe now it's gonna finish it?
I don't look good.
Are you all right if I go upstairs?
Go ahead. Just keep going, no matter what happens.
This is why we're here.
I'm not stopping for this.
It can try to break me, but it's not.
Is this the best you can do?
Is that it? Just make somebody sick?
Since the house has been so quiet,
we need to invite the spirit in to see if we can draw it out
and confront it face-to-face.
So now were pretty much telling this thing,
you know, we're open books.
- Come on. - Come on. Bring it.
You know, do whatever you need to do.
This house is so weird.
I'm, like, sh... i keep shifting.
One minute, it feels totally peaceful.
And the next minute, it feels sinister.
I think we're just so just at our wit's end
that we're willing to try just about anything,
which is a very bad idea.
It's not a good idea. Enter this room!
Come to my voice.
KATRINA: I think we're just so... just at our wit's end
that we're willing to try just about anything,
which is a very bad idea.
It's not a good idea.
Enter this room!
Come to my voice.
KATRINA: Are you afraid of us?
Is that why you're only doing parlor tricks?
Come on.
If I stand here...
Here's your chance.
We're separated.
You ever wanted to do something to either of us,
this is the best time to do it.
NICK: Here's your chance set up here.
We leave the camera rolling downstairs
while we go up to investigate Phillip and Diane's bedrooms.
Now that we have challenged the spirit,
we go to see if we have awoken more energy.
I feel sick just coming up the stairs.
- You do? - Yeah.
Just when we came up, and I landed here,
it was that car sickness feeling again.
Earlier, it was just in my throat.
Now, it, like, went into my stomach.
- Was that you? - Mnh-mnh.
Do you think it's coming after you now?
I think there's something very weird about this house.
[ STATIC ECHOING ]
Go ahead. Call it out.
Are you making me sick right now?
What or who is making me sick?
[ STATIC ECHOING ]
Is it this house? Or is it something else?
[ STATIC ECHOING ]
- Go ahead, Katrina. - Turn it off?
Whatever you think.
I wanna see if...
Are you still feeling dizzy right here?
[ SIGHS ]
Not as bad as I was before.
Try standing up.
Or walk... walk through here.
I wanna just see where it's hitting you.
I feel it a little bit,
but it's not as... it's not like when I first walked up here.
Let's regroup in the living room.
So you were feeling ill up here. I was feeling ill downstairs.
It was probably the strongest I've ever felt the nausea.
Really? So it's building power, then.
I mean, it felt pretty strong to me.
That was the worst. I got hit bad down here.
- Yeah. - Let's go in there.
- Did you close this? - What?
No.
It smells funny.
- Ugh, it does smell weird. - Doesn't it?
It smells like something's burning in here.
I'm gonna re... I'm gonna play this back.
- Okay. - Let me just see.
- Can you guys see? - Yeah.
Whoa! What was that?
- What'd you see? - I saw a figure.
Nuh-uh, get out.
Yeah.
Lookit, right there.
- Where? - Right here.
- I saw a figure. - Nuh-uh, get out.
Right here.
Who is that?
That was [BLEEP] weird.
- Whoa. - Isn't that weird?
ROB: It just glided straight past that door.
I've always been a skeptic.
But spending the time we spent here,
there are a lot of things that have happened
that I can't explain.
Play that again?
It's definitely tran...
Like, it has a transparency to it.
You see that? I'll freeze it on the frame.
Look at that. It's blurred out.
I can't even make out what that is.
I can't even make it out.
See how transparent it is?
It comes by, though, the door.
Yep. Watch.
That is bizarre.
So here's the thing.
It was me, you and Rob upstairs.
So, this figure walks
from the kitchen towards the stairs.
NICK: As we review the evidence,
we notice the door closing after the figure passes through.
We also see several black masses
moving across the floor into the room.
Even our itc camera picks up
a huge static disturbance as the door closes.
There's something happening with the environment
that's inducing this... This location with more energy.
So these things are manifesting
and making you feel like that, making me feel like that.
Rob was feeling it too.
I mean, we all witnessed this.
- Yeah. - This is incredible.
We were asking for it.
Who do you think it is?
I don't know who it is, either.
You were calling it out.
I was calling it.
Yeah. We were upstairs doing it.
I feel the storm is coming, and it's gonna erupt.
I don't know if it's the rain or the house or the environment.
But the activity, it's ramping up.
You asked for it to attack you,
totally opened yourself up so you could meet this thing.
And it did.
We came this far. You know, we can't stop now.
Look at the stuff we're getting. That's crazy.
Let's get ready for the night
and just prepare ourself, all right?
Okay.
Oh, my god.
It's so weird in here.
If you could only see what I see.
I'm in complete darkness right now.
I'll cover the I.R. Light.
Here's... here's what I see.
Oh [BLEEP].
Ow.
I just got stabbed right in the leg.
- Katrina! - Huh?
I just got stabbed in the leg!
KATRINA: Are you serious?
I was in the cold room, and I...
I literally was just standing in the coal room,
and I just got stabbed right in the leg.
- Do you have any markings? - Look at this right here.
It's showing up. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Oh, look. It's showing up more and more, more and more.
[BLEEP] it's actually appearing in front of us.
I was standing in the coal room in the dark.
And suddenly, I just got... It felt like a stab.
Didn't even feel like a scratch.
It felt like something just stabbed me right in the leg.
You okay?
I've never been scratched like that.
[BLEEP] I don't know.
I'm going back up.
It ends tonight!
Uh, Nick is in the coal hull right now,
confronting whatever just hurt him.
Yeah.
That's where Joe prichard,
um... nobody knows what happened to Joe.
He wouldn't talk about it.
But from all accounts,
he was a changed man after that night.
Joe was experiencing haunting in his house,
didn't know how to handle it.
Nick is experiencing
a haunting in his home with his family.
He doesn't know how to handle it.
So they're very similar in that way of both men
who want to help and fix whatever this issue is,
just approaching it a little different.
Joe ignored it.
Nick is going, like, head-on into it.
Katrina's alone, by herself, in the house.
Can you go to her and say something?
Tell her something on the recorder.
Tell her something to her face.
I'm in here.
And if all you're gonna do is try to touch me and harm me,
that means nothing to me.
There's a growl happening in here!
Is he okay?
Nick?
I think I just saw my life pass before my eyes.
- What do you mean? - You can see it.
Finally, you see the end.
Did you see how you were gonna die?
I don't know. I saw...
Something was in there.
I was there.
[ KATRINA SIGHS ]
I went in the coal hole.
[BLEEP]
[BLEEP] I think I just got scratched.
Did I just get scratched?
Yo, I think I just got scratched.
I can't see. I need a light.
- Where? - Do you see it?
Rob.
- I'm looking. - Right there, I got a shot.
- Can you get it, Rob? - Yep.
I see it right there. Is that all right?
- That's two, right? - Wait.
It's showing... Holy [BLEEP] it's...
It broke your skin.
- Are you [BLEEP] kidding me? - Come here.
- I see it. - It broke her skin.
[ GASPS ]
Right behind you, there was shuffling.
Right behind you. It just ran up on you, Rob.
- You okay? You okay? - Yeah.
No. I... there's no...
I'm wearing two shirts.
I'm wearing two [BLEEP] shirts.
I know. I know. I know.
Like, what the [BLEEP].
There's someone upstairs.
It just ran.
Chills. I'm getting goosebumps all over my body.
God, it smells like sulfur. Jake, get your perspective.
In case it comes out in front of you,
you have to film it.
- I don't feel good. - Katrina.
I feel like [BLEEP].
This [BLEEP] so weird.
- What was that thump? - It was up there.
In the [BLEEP] attic?
Are you up there? Are you hi...
[BLEEP] [BLEEP]
Are you up there? You hi...
[BLEEP] mother [BLEEP].
That's scary as [BLEEP] on you.
Someone just touched me on the back.
[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]
That thing came flying!
That, like, launched!
Like, holy [BLEEP].
Whatever is in that coal room is definitely done
playing little games.
Thump, thump upstairs in the attic.
I go to the attic... boom.
This thing...
I need my camera.
I feel like a hand's gonna come out and rip my head off.
Are you up here?
Katrina, if anything happens, pull me down.
Okay.
Can you show yourself?
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
I'm gonna put this out there because I don't want, like,
any kid at home trying to, like, imitate what we do.
We opened ourselves way too much
and to everything that's here.
We've put zero boundaries up.
And this little [BLEEP] whoever it is,
is just showing us...
"Oh, really? You wanna play with me?
I'll show you how much I can play with you."
[ SIGHS ]
I've never had anything physical happen to me
on a demonic case I've been on.
NICK: I think the whole thing all along
was to come here to this location,
where this negative thing was,
and to sponge it with our bodies.
We're taking the garbage out.
That's the best way to describe it.
Yeah. You know, Hinsdale was bad.
And we don't, like, fully know what was at hinsdale.
I worry that maybe we made it worse.
I just feel like I went against everything
I was ever taught about this field and that...
That side of it.
- We're almost through, Katrina. - I know. It's fine.
NICK: With only a few hours left before the door is unchained,
we're dealing with an aggressive demonic presence.
I'm afraid we've gone too far this time.
We've come 3,000 miles
and spent most of our investigation
taunting the demon to show itself, to attack us.
And now it has.
Our new mission is to attempt
to leave this thing behind forever.
Can't wait to get outta here. I know.
You wanna throw that in that case?
Yeah. I'm still trying to,
like, go through everything in my head
and process it and, you know,
trying to think of rational explanations.
We captured some of the most amazing evidence.
And it did live up to its reputation.
But I'm a little nervous that something might linger with us.
It got a little piece of us last night.
- It did. - And we need to make sure
that it doesn't get the rest of us.
I'm ready for that door to be unlocked
so we can get outta here.
- Okay, guys. - Hey, Carol.
We had a couple of pretty crazy days here.
NICK: Yeah. It was... It was crazy.
- So I'm just glad you're okay. - When we close this door,
when we walk away from this house, we're leaving it behind.
- We have to. - I hope you do.
We have to. We have to.
There's been too much leading up to this point.
You know, enough is enough.
Or whatever this demonic entity is...
- Whatever it was. - ...We're leaving it.
We asked for it to... We asked for it to do.
We made contact with it.
Showed itself in multiple ways.
It's definitely evil, and it will latch on.
And it will hit you when you least expect it.
Yeah. And, you know,
I'm really glad you're going to get away from it
and you're going to get a rest from it.
- Thank you so much. - Thanks, Carol.
- Thank you. - Appreciate it.
Let me know if I was wrong.
- All right. - Okay, bye.
You ready?
Let's shut this door and walk away from this.
- You ready? - Oh, I'm ready.
All right.
I'm happy to leave this place.
KATRINA: A hundred-hour lockdown is probably one of
the most challenging things I've ever done.
But I think we accomplished what we set out to do.
I hope, by confronting whatever this thing is,
we were able to rid ourselves of whatever was haunting us.
I'm going over the footage of this figure
that we captured and the door shutting,
the Black Monk House.
[ OBJECT BANGS ]
There it is again. That's that noise.
I heard that!
It's happening again.
It has not left.
It's still here.
Got a call from Nick, he didn't really give me
a whole lotta detail, just told me,
"We have to go to Hinsdale. We have to go to Hinsdale."
"I'm leaving. You have to come. Get Rob."
I called Dan, the owner,
and told him to open it up for us.
And that's as much as I know.
It's like everything was just leading back to this.
Nick?
Are you all right?
I will never ever forget the minute
I walked in that door,
when I was coming in from the woods,
and I saw his face.
It was like he was a changed person.
I've never heard Nick so upset before about a place.
And this was worse than the first time we went to Hinsdale.
This is how this stuff works.
They get inside your head.
They follow you home.
They mess with your life.
And then you become obsessed.
And that's when it gets dangerous.
This is it.
Geez, there it is.
You see Nick?
ROB: Here's his car.
Wonder if he's waiting out there.
Nick?
He's not even in the car.
Nick?
Nick? Hello?
Geez.
Nick?
NICK: Go ahead!
Do it!
KATRINA: Nick?
Ah, there's that smell.
I knew it was...
Enough!
Nick? Nick.
Don't you wanna just slam something, huh?
What? Don't I wanna what?
- You smell that? - Yeah.
That smell, and then it goes away.
And I'm talking to the negative entity that's here,
this negative energy that just moved in this room.
[BLEEP] do you feel that?
Whoa.
There's [BLEEP] something hurting my back.
[ GRUNTS ]
It's hurting my back. Where? Where? Where?
All this.
Oh. Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, I can't take it.
Don't... wait. Stop moving for a second.
I can't. It's just latching on to me.
You have marks all over your back.
You can physically hurt me.
- No. - You can beat me down.
You can scratch me. You...
If I have to give up myself
to protect my family, I'll do it!
No, Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Where are you?
I will sacrifice everything...
- Nick. - ...to protect Katrina...
- Nick. - ...my family, everything!
Nick, Nick.
I will sacrifice my own [BLEEP] body,
[GROANS]
My spirit, my soul, my energy.
That will be forever.
Try taking that from me.
'Cause you know what? That's mine.
Enough terrorizing my family!
- Enough of that. - Hold on, Nick.
I can't... I can't stop. I can't stop.
You need to stop 'cause this is what it wants.
You're giving it exactly what it wants.
I can't see.
You need to stand up to this thing
without sacrificing yourself
because that's an invitation into you.
I just wanna go home, but I... I can't.
You don't sacrifice yourself, Nick.
You have to... you have to put up that wall.
That's what this is about tonight.
All of this will never completely go away
because you do what you do.
This is a pivotal point for us on our journey,
what we've been looking for.
At some point, you just have to accept that this is...
This is part of who you are, part of it.
This is part of your journey.
This is part of the path you had to take.
This will never stop.
The only way to make this stop for you
is to completely leave the field forever and never come back.
Do you accept everything
that's gonna happen doing this work?
Or are you gonna walk away from it?
This was what we were destined to do.
You either accept it, or you walk away from it.
I gotta get back to my family.
All right. Let's get you home.
NICK: Katrina and I have been
to the darkest places in the world.
And now we have faced pure evil.
Ah, I feel better.
I feel like every moment
that we just went through was all worth it.
We survived this battle,
but to protect ourselves and our loved ones,
we will always be waging this war.
I am gonna keep investigating the paranormal
because that is my passion.
This is what I was meant to do.
You either run away from these things,
or you stand your ground and you try to fight them.
NICK: As we continue our search for the truth,
the hauntings in our homes will subside so long
as we never give something the power over us
and invite it in.
And when we confront darkness like this again,
we now know how to rid ourself of it forever.
