The house was constructed in 1858 known as the haunted Bergen House. The Heglan's bought it in the 1960's. Nick investigated the stories of the land surrounding the home and the land is haunted. A creature resembling Big Foot has been seen and living by the farmhouse is the Bergen Byron swamp. Witches went to the swamp to hold ceremonies. Cathy Hegland when she was younger was playing in the front yard and used a stick to make swirls in the mud puddle. Her mother told her to move and felt a jolt under her feet the swirls flowed in the other direction and she felt an arm around her. A spirit of a Native American man was there but when she looked for her mother, the man was gone. The house has different activities at different times. Doors closing lights going on, things moving around the house. Doll spoke and moved around house. A young woman committed suicide in the barn and is seen walking along the road to the barn. Ghostly figures, disembodied voices and growls are seen and heard around the property. Evil spirit of a man and mounds around the house could be unmarked graves. Visions of orphan children murdered and buried on grounds. The Hegland's bought the home in 1960's.
Megan Deputy, a witch helps Nick. He wants to see which spirits come forward and see what happened at this house from the past. Cathy talks of two hangings, drowning on property. Native Americans before they were sent to reservations. Orphan train came to help on the farm and underground railroad. Built on limestone rock, underground river and a fault line runs through property. Her mother felt activity when they moved in. Afraid when father was at work. A cistern where the man is seen coming through the floor. Push people, throw things, scratch, pull hair. Her bedroom where she had her first memory of a spirit. She had to hold onto her crib and she saw three figures in her room, spirits. Two men and a woman and the men argued and they left. Sister and her had bunk beds. A man came into the room and was cold. Couldn't move and her eyes hurt and she was lifted up with her blanket and was held in the air and when her father came she was let go.
In the room a shape shifter was in the house. She spoke to him, he covered her sister up with a blanket. he said she could sleep at night as long as he was there since he wasn't human and other spirits were afraid. She brings someone in the house and can't be in one of the rooms alone; it's like a suicidal room and feel that way when in there. With heavy feelings at night and felt heat from the inside of your body. Mirror was thrown at her and her mother and the frame broke. The barn was built in 1888 and was remodelled by the farmer and they think he's the negative spirit. He yells at people to get out. A teen boy wrote his name Robert Jenks/Jenkins before he hanged himself and the girl had an affair with the married JP and she got pregnant and hanged herself. Her father was digging and found a locket with hair and a necklace, a man and a woman's photo. Was a pile of handmade button and hand painted and material. Like the front of a shirt. Found some vertebrae and don't now what he did with the things and threw the necklace away into the ground. She thinks there's some bodies buried, the mounds.
Megan begins the ritual to open the doorway behind the other realm. Calling out to the others. Nick roams the house as she continues the ritual. Nick asks who the shadow man is. That bedroom was creepy. He wants all the energy to rise and interact with them. A noise is heard. Megan says there are three wells and she feels there's some ancient entities, not human but not negative. Upstairs something came from the room into their room and the air got thick. "They're listening" I heard. Upstairs Megan says something came from the room and the air became thick. It was heard to breathe. Nick asks for the shadowman and if this is his portal. A voice says they're familiar with Megan and she feels the same about the entity. Something touches his arm and it replies "yeah." Megan asks why the shadow lives here. "Magic" comes through and Cathy mentioned dark magic and the witches in the triangle. A nose is heard downstairs.
Selenite is a gift for the spirits from the ritual. Megan says they got bum rushed. She says he wants to speak more than anyone..." correct my..." Megan sits in the other room/closet and a deep breath is heard on the Geobox. She speaks through her mind and pull energy into herself and giving it too. There are so many powerful beings here. Nick hears noises and also from downstairs. "It's right behind you." Nick feels scratched. Megan says they're free to talk to Nick and show themselves on camera, lift her hair gently. Justin felt a burning on his shoulder too by the stairs. "Who is she?" comes through. Hey Nick didn't wear his ring this ep. Nick mentions Cathy seeing the spirits when she was three. Megan calls it a castle with spirits inside. Nick said he saw shadow in the living room.On the first floor he uses a mini Tesla coil for more heightened activity. "Who is that?" Upstairs a voice comes through saying it's the shadowman with the hat. "It's magic" stopping them. Also "shadow" comes through. "My...spells...what is it?"
Outside in the barn Megan feels something touch her face. Nick hears "William" when he asks for a name."Orphan...it happened." Knocking is heard. It goes quiet now and Megan feels energy again. Nick hears knocking. Did he say Ely?? I didn't hear a long title. "Who was that...we care"??? Nick says more investigations are needed here. Megan hasn't felt so much potent magic. This house was also featured in A Haunting (2022) 11.6 Return to Bergen House. Megan was very good would like to see her again! Very insightful.
