To understand the haunting plaguing this location of Defiance Junior High School and to reveal reasons why. This building was named after Fort Defiance and constructed in 1794 by General Anthony Wayne as a defence against British soldiers. He ordered troops to destroy Native American villages and other surrounding towns were flooded in 1913. The High School building was demolished and the building of today built in 1918. 1891 saw a janitor , John Moll murdered in mysterious circumstances after he reported the Principal CW Butler in a compromising position with a teacher. After the claims he was hiding at a friend's house. Yet his body was found on the tracks. His legs were nearly severed and throat slit as well as being stabbed twice in the chest. His death was declared a suicide. He was murdered and this was stated by many, including friends, family and the coroner. Students have talked about the paranormal activity whilst at school. Being watched, voices are heard and shadow figures. As well as full bodied apparitions during the classes. Could be John's anger towards the town and maybe he is lashing out.
Talking to former students who had experiences. After gym class and he went back to the locker room and felt cold chills. He felt he was being stared at. People have seen lights in the windows and had feelings in the basement. Another one was in gym class and she heard voices. She saw a woman in the hallway walking back and forth. All their experiences were mostly during gym class or in the gym. In the school band and went to put his instrument away and a music stand fell. Austin Maynard, a paranormal investigator looked into the location and history. A murder, a suicide and football players dying on the field. They wanted to clean the building and they've seen shadow figures. Three girls went to the third floor and were chased out. He's seen apparitions in the gym and an entity called 'The Principal'. He controls the building. As well as arson being involved. A crawl space in the basement was where John lived.
Nick uses the Tesla coil on the third floor. He uses the #X10 device. He wants the spirits to use the energy to manifest. A voice is heard, I heard a "ooh ooh." Which was rather noisy. But a lot of voices came through. "Stay together." Nick feels dizzy by the stairs. Austin stating people felt sick. A banging sound is heard and Nick says it was a locker. But they're locked. Could be residual or actually happened. He thinks whatever made the sound ran down to the second floor. Did somebody die here? "Yes." Nick hears a whisper behind him. He has goosebumps through his body. I also hear "Nick" here. "It was me" when he asks if he was standing there. "John" I didn't hear that. "Man." "Dead." A scream comes through.
Boiler room in the basement and his crawl space. Also the subject of a Destination Fear ep. Nick feels goosebumps again. Footsteps can be heard. So he's been haunting this school for what over 200 years. A loud bang is heard again. Nick climbs into his crawl space and the energy gets stronger. Footsteps are heard again and a noise in the crawl space itself. Nick says someone's walking behind Justin who steps onto the ladder. Nick felt the negative presence surrounding him. Another noise is heard and Nick says it was something hitting a pipe and walking again. Nick uses an experiment to find who the spirits are using a laser and turns on the device so a static sound will be stopped if something comes into the laser. Devised by KD Stafford and Austin. Nick sees a face move in front of him.
"See him"?? "Was that you?" "Yeah." "Shock." The laser breaks and the noise stops. The light flashed or seems to. "You did that." A whistling sound is heard. "Behind him...is there a problem?" "By you." "See a fire, man or fireman"?? "Huge fire." "He died." Nick felt sick and threw him off balance. He thinks there's a dark, lingering presence and connecting with their energies. He goes to the part near the other locker room. Using another experiment with the laser and the ITC experiment to document who The Principal is. In the locker room light frequencies energy move with him follow him. He wants John to follow him or anyone else. He wants John to move through the smoke and light and take his hand. He feels weird in the space. He hears a voice come through, didn't hear it. Another banging is heard was there a shadow on the left?? when the camera shows the view by the wall.
He uses another experiment using the Ghost Helmet. To try and see what can connect with his energy. He hears talking. "Nick" is heard. "Violence." "Ghost." Did "Frank" come through? "Necessary." His is drained and feels like he crossed into another realm and allowed him to spiritually connect to the other side. He heads to the gym to see if he can connect with the shadow figure. "Problem...issue...send a message...can't do it...suicide stuff...suicide..." Downstairs to where the dark energy is lingering and tries to make contact before sunrise. "Dead...yes...find him??" New insight into this place. Nick says John remains and hopes his voice can be heard from beyond. A fire, lost soul, still need help. He feels emotions lingering and he questions what the negative energy is and he shows Austin and will return to the school hoping to solve the negative presence. Energy of the past becomes restless, so communication is important to remain in a positive environment. This journey is important to him to uncover more evidence of what happens after death and in the afterlife.
