This one took us back to Demon House, as the name suggests, though my first question was why it was titled Lost Footage and not something along the lines of 'Unseen or Unaired' footage. Wonder if it had something to do with the 'extras' on the DVD which I haven't got. Still pondering whether to get it or not, for various reasons, as mentioned in my review of the doco itself. Zak also refers to it as "lost footage" in his opening narration to this.
This one started with Zak at the house with Father Mike, who performed the initial exorcism and also Chris Fleming, with Billy and Jay filming. Talking about the events that transpired there in the past with the Ammons family, the police and the CPS workers; as an overview from the doco. Zak was adamant that the house didn't like Chris, but had no idea why he said that. Also Chris got a certain feeling when he went past the bathroom, where Dr Barry Taft would have that encounter with the black mass and where he described feelings of nauseousness. A warning then to be careful would have been welcomed, if at all possible! But alas no!
Before they ventured to the basement, Zak said "they don't like you" to Chris, but again he couldn't say why and spoke of the ritual items there which were buried and after they were found the police, they put them back there. Chris sat on the stairs (those now at the Haunted Museum) and they decided on doing spirit box sessions. Must admit I liked Chris's spirit box, it appeared to have less interference and less static coming through. Although they did get static and some responses to questions like the name of the woman who lived here, "Ammons" and even "Zak" came through. Chris feeling cold behind him when he sat on the stairs and had to get up. There was also a strange light anomaly that went past Chris when he was sitting down.
They decided that the ritual items should be dug up and exorcised so Billy set to digging them up and they even touched them with their bare hands, not something I'd have done. Father Mike seemed agitated to me throughout, he mentioned how his stomach growled everytime Chris asked questions.
When first time digging they hear a scream. Again a child's voice was heard when Zak stayed the night in the doco.
NB Later on, when the polygraph footage was shown with Adam, the cameraman who was possessed and let go from filming, he talked about being sick, vomiting blood and his stomach being affected. Thus wonder if this was the same thing happening with the Father, as well as Zak commenting how he felt there was something inside his stomach.
Father mentioned the 'oil' dripping from above the stairs when they were there and formed the shape of a cross. When they went to the room with the blinds where the oil had dripped and the CPS worker's fingers turned pale. The same thing happened now, the blinds were wet again and Zak even touched it! Wonder with hindsight, if he should have done that since it wasn't good to do. Some sort of foreboding not to have done that came to my mind. Also when they were digging up the objects, Zak had his glasses on and then took them off for a while and then wore them again. I thought of how this would be one of the last times he would be able to do that "normally" - with normal sight. More foreboding perhaps, especially as when no one was looking, he returned to the basement and threw back all the items. He didn't know why he did it, but just that he didn't think it was him. Again, Father Mike getting angry now.
(NB Adam also sneaked by everyone when he went down to the basement by himself in the doco.)
Zak dug them up again, but didn't find the missing fingernail. Thus thought the portal would remain open. Which it obviously did in some respects, since his later encounter would show this and how his eyes were affected! Sometimes it's best to leave things alone and not touch them so unwittingly. The exorcism was performed on the objects, but again how effective was this in the end? Particularly also how the stairs were brought back to the Museum and still causes activity around them!
Other voices that came through were; "I am" and I'll kill you" at 17.18. Didn't "kill you" come through on the spirit box when Chris conducted the session at the Museum in the Ghost Adventures Hallowe'en Special. Sure it did. Thus perhaps the same entity.
Chris asks was "someone was murdered in this house?"
Answer: yes."
Then "Matt" comes through after "me." See Goatman's Bridge, Ghost Adventures ep, where demons use human names to trick you into thinking they're friendly. (Also reviewed by me.)
So anyway after having trouble with my computer twice, freezing at 16 minutes and 29 minutes, I am so darn sure this had something to do with it, always does!
They also went to the policeman's house where he said he heard noises in the night and went downstairs to find his alarm would keep switching off by itself, however codes were needed to do this. Due to something being in his house. The alarm company man had no explanation for this either, since it occurred on two occasions with two different alarm manufacturers.
Adam felt violent after being at the house and filming there. Saw the demon-like creature there, as well as seeing it at the hotel. He had visions of killing Zak and Zak killing himself with the broken glass from the mirror in the hotel bathroom. He hadn't heard of the stories of the house beforehand. he did hear a growl at the house whilst filming. The polygraph expert said that he was telling the truth and this will "stay with him forever." Adam wishes what happened wasn't true "it's so insane." He thought if it was real, then it should stop him getting into the lift. He saw "the devil inside and screamed for Zak." "This isn't for money, this is real."
Zak returns to the house for no reason one night and he says, "hello." Do you hear "hello" in a kind of raspy voice at 35.18? I'm sure you can! Just before they focus on the two eyes! Boy that is so damn creepy!
At 37.35 Zak heads to the basement and hears a deep breathy growl and runs!! Heck then he even had the courage/balls to spend that time in the house later on. Since this was all happening in real time and not something they would later find when scouring through the footage filmed! Billy shouting to hear what happened to him. I heard the hissing breath without turning the volume up first time round, but that glowy thing, eek!
He said that he saw it shine and it "brought me out of my paralysis" and made him run out, or come out of there. Wondering (as always) if that was the reason he had to film there that night and to return, to capture the eyes and that thing? Jay showing he spat blood when he ran after him for no reason. That part was heart-stopping and that's something I tweeted in response to the doco last night, even before watching this! (Having seen the doco twice before.) My heart is honestly going at a million miles right now (hand on heart - no joke) - I can't catch my breath!!
Zak attempts to take pics and his phone dies on him just as with the workers and the policeman! Jay saying what Father Mike said about how 'they' didn't want them to know its name and when they were getting close, it all happened. Now Zak trying to take pics, they don't want to be seen! Thus the blurred image on the camera when he encountered that demon creature in the doco! As well as having his eyes affected by Diplopia. Reminded me of that story I told during #HauntedHour on Twitter, about what my mother had heard when younger, of how someone tried to record what happens in the grave after someone was buried there. He went deaf. Thus it's not something we're meant to hear or to know. Perhaps a mystery not for this world, or to be solved. I couldn't help thinking of how this may be true of not wanting to be seen and in some ways why Zak's eyes were affected. Aww don't hate me for writing this! Only opinions, just my thoughts!
There were a few instances where Zak did not look like himself and particularly his eyes.
I'd like to know the timelines to this footage, obviously it was filmed before Zak stayed in the house alone, so it would have been helpful to have a timeline of sorts.
