Doctor Who "The Star Beast"

The Doctor (David Tennant) returns to Earth with his 'new old' face and bumps into a woman carrying packages.  What are the odds she would turn out to be none other than Donna Noble (Catherine Tate).  He replaces the package back he was helping with as he recalls, as do we, that if she ever remembers him again she will die.  Then she tells him to take them back since he was helping her.  As he hears her call out to Rose (Yasmin Finney).  No not that Rose.  She's sending her packages to Abu Dhabi and she has her own small business.  As she takes the packages a starship crashes, which Donna misses even after Rose tells her to look.  Taking it's a starship with a pinch of salt.  

The Doctor rushes to the crash and takes a taxi.  Surprise, surprise, it turns out to be Donna's husband, small world.  Her husband, Shaun Temple (Karl Collins) asks him how he knows her and the Doctor name drops Nerys.  She didn't take his last name cos then she'd have been known as Donna Noble Temple.  The Doctor also asks why she gave away her lottery winnings, £166 MILLION.  She gave it to charity but they only bought the house.  As you recall he returned the pound to Wilf and the lottery ticket she had on her wedding day.  The Doctor recalls that Donna saved him by absorbing all his memories, this would have destroyed her mind, but the Doctor saved her by wiping out her memory of him.  However as she tells Sylvia (Jacqueline King) she has a feeling something is missing in her life.  

As he heads to the crash site, UNIT is already there and so is Shirley Bingham (Ruth Madeley).  He tells her about Donna and why he's hiding out.  Apparently the ship carries a creature, a cuddly type that hides out in the ally by Donna's house, again, small world.  As Rose heads to where the pod landed, following her neighbour, but it's empty.  As she returns she finds the creature, an alien known as Meep the Beep.  She takes him back as he says the others are after him.  They killed his species for his fur.  Also he's similar to some of the cuddly toys Rose makes.  Donna returns to the shed and he's rumbled.  UNIT opens the ship and the soldiers are overtaken by something causing their eyes to illuminate and trance-like as they head to Donna's house.

Donna and Sylvia talk about Rose and her gender change when the boys from school call her out on the street and call her Jason.  She's proud of her daughter as she tells Sylvia.  The Doctor of course heads there too and wants to be let in, but Sylvia refuses.  He uses the sonic and she doesn't want Donna to see him.  She hits him and he says she's done that to him before.  The Meep enters as soldiers have a shoot out and two insect-like creatures appear, known as the Wrarth, to take him away.  The Doctor constructs a forcefield barricade using his Sonic and they head to the attic.  Crossing though the attic of five houses they find Shaun's taxi and make their exit.  But not before the Doctor checks out the soldier's pulse.

Heading back to the steel factory they are chased by the soldiers and the Doctor says maybe the creatures aren't after Meep but are here to protect him, or not.  He uses a Shadow Proclamation to cease hostilities until he otherwise permits and finds out Meep is actually the bad one.  He recalls sun psychosis which affects the eyes.  His race ate the Wrarth.  Meep kills off the Wrarth and the Doctor gets hit over the head, in what seems like such an easy way to get him and the others are taken back to the steelworks.  The Doctor can also draw maps with his Sonic now.  

They make their escape as Shirley helps them by firing darts from her wheelchair and the Doctor comments they have those now.  No, they had them all the time.  The Doctor needs to stop the ship from launching as the drag drive will destruct London killing nine million people.  As he tells the Noble's to leave, Donna goes with him and he needed her help too.  He makes her remember as they recite words in a countdown sequence.  She says she's a nobody and no one will miss her but she has to save Rose and the other nine million.  He says she's somebody to him.  They countdown to "binary binary..." and then she pushes buttons averting the ship from taking off and does succumb to her death.

However, she doesn't die as Rose was also helping.  Donna managed to half the effect of the energy she absorped and is saved.  Rose took on his memories too and she even named herself.  They head off on another adventure and Donna wants to go on one last trip.  If only to unveil the inside of the newly revamped TARDIS.  All clean and steely looking, "chrome" as she calls it.  He even has a coffee machine, mistake, as that's what got her fired from her job, she spilled coffee in the computer.  As she does here.  Making the TARDIS go haywire and they disappear somewhere.

Fast paced scenes and dialogue including a scene where the Meep refers to gender pronouns and says  "My chosen pronoun is the definite article – I am always ‘the’ Meep."  The Doctor replies, "I do that."   Talking of what the Doctor’s pronouns are and surmising that they’re just "the".  This ep was a story based on the 1980 comic book Doctor Who and the Star Beast.  The Doctor also realizes that Wilf is in  a home and isn't dead as he thought.  A nice touch for not having to go through Wilf not really being around.  Good to see Doctor Ten return, one of my faves after Eleven, and another two eps to go.

Ghost Adventures "Orcutt Ranch"

West Hills, California, in the woods with secrets on the grounds leading to a haunting.  William Orcutt built a ranch with an alter in the basement with secret society ceremonies.  Workers see a boy they call an identity disguising himself and Zak asks if it's connected to a double murder homicide next door in 1922.  Zak thinks that if the trees have eyes that they're being watched.  Lots of energy around.  Aaron likes the real bamboo.  In the orchard Aaron goes fruit picking when they're not meant to pick the fruit.  Billy even eats the orange.  Zak says it could be a bad omen to picking it.  Shown by what happened to Billy later, perhaps.  The Orcutts moved to the ranch in 1921.  In 1922 the neighbours were killed and could someone working for the Orcutts could have done it.  He's not saying they specifically did it but it's coincidental.  The killer wasn't caught.  The lights flicker inside and wonders if this could be a warning from the spirits there or the fire that covered up the double murder.  Aaron says it could be the curse of the orange.

Oil pioneer Orcutt built his ranch in 1921 known as Orcutt rancho sombre del oble.  Land once belonged to Shumash Tongvay tribe.  In the 1960's the remaining estate was taken over by LA City.  Need to find the source of the energy holding onto the land.  Christine says the house has spirits and entities.  The forest has a dark energy and they feel watched.  In the forest she says she saw the spirit of a little boy and he watched her and her daughter and then he vanished.  No documented deaths of children and Zak believes it was a malevolent entity posing as a child.  The land has darkness.  Jay and Zak see a solid shadow walking there where the boy was seen.  Zak sees two anomalies.  A strange chair is there and he is drawn towards the chair and sits in it.  "Constant name children" comes through on the Ovilus.  Could it be referring to the boy spirit.  As he gets up "Form thirteen" comes through.  Thirteen is part of occultism and refers to a ritual.  

The Paranormal Housewives wait outside as they enter for the first time.  Cold air greets them inside.  Billy feels warm air around him.  In the basement they got pushed and they're not liked as they're women.  A sacred place for men.  They think thirteen people are in a circle harking back to the Ovilus response.  In the basement they walk into a secret place.  Something was conjured here.  Zak reads from a book of incantations and one of them feels there's something next to her, a portal like a black hole.  They're hot and cold.  Smell perfume and cigars.  In the room with the pink paint they got some EVPs.  Zak thinks the incantation opened a door to the other side.  An EVP is caught.  Two circles of light behind Billy and he felt heat around him.  Same thing Zak saw on his thermal.  There's a third ball on the painting isn't there.  

But that voice "now that I'm older and in control...I have an intention for a hanging."  Zak says the spirit has been carrying out dark deeds.  He thinks the neighbour's killer was caught in the basement.  

In the basement again with the XLS.  At the bottom of the stairs a black anomaly appears.  A male voice is heard in the basement.  I heard that and I thought it was Aaron!! Ha.  Sounds like "it did."  As Aaron sits down a figure appears in front of the door.  It then appears by Aaron and grabs his head and arm. 

Aaron then says he saw a snake on his leg or it could have been an arm.  Billy's heart rate increases erratically.  Was that cos of the orange he ate.  A ball of light appears behind Zak.  As soon as he says Orcutt and asks for the motion balls to be lit up if he wants them to leave.  Aaron stays and the door closes by itself.  

The guesthouse is above the basement.  In the bathroom a noise is heard.  The Ovilus says "Show The Living."  The shower door is heard.  An anomaly leaves the bathroom.  In the main house from the device says "hey."  The lights come on.  A voice says "I did it."  Billy says Aaron touched him, why would he.  One of the crystals on the chandelier moves.  A sound is heard.  A light anomaly is also seen and Billy sees it too.  He says Aaron touched him again.  A white mist appears in front of him again.  In the forest a mist is caught and then a smallish black shadow figure on the throne chair.  Could that be the boy spirit.  Zak says there are compelling paranormal happenings in the house with intelligent responses and mists, anomalies, Poltergeist activity and a figure with Aaron.  Zak suggests that the secrets want to be told.  

Ghost Adventures "Scotty's Castle"

 Death Valley, California.  In 1913 the heat reached 134 degrees.  July 2023 tempers almost broke the record.  Scotty's Castle is in a unique location.  Built in 1920's by Albert Johnson after he was lured there by conman Scotty.  Who told him there was a gold find.  Albert lived there with his wife, Bessie.  Zak wanted to come here since the show started.  Scotty wanted money and Albert said he'd give it to him.  Built a castle in the "most inhospitable place on earth."  Jay tore tendons in his ankle during an investigation.  The Park Ranger takes them through the locked gates.  The land was flooded and Zak calls it an intent to destroy the castle.  Like a mysterious fire in 2021 and no cause was found.  Feels energy at the castle that he can't describe.  This place is charged."  He turned the engine off and looked at the castle and the car started by itself.  He joked that Scotty wants them to leave and he sees the cross on the hill where Death Valley Scotty is buried.  Well my joke was probably in bad taste on Twitter when I said "beam me up Scotty" but then maybe not, as further on in the investigation Zak thought they caught a UFO, was only a Starlink train; but I was foreshadowing, ha! He said there were many accounts of paranormal activity online but no one wanted to speak with them.  Workers left in fear of their lives.  Seen a misty apparition.  Feelings of despair, feel itching or tingling on body.  Some believe the spirits affect you in this way.  Some knocking is heard or a bang.  

Park Ranger Abby tells him about the fire which occurred at night and no one was there.  There wasn't any arson and no power or lightning.  They moved a car, the 1947 Passenger Packard owned by Albert Jackson.  He and Bessie were involved in a car accident where Bessie died.  The death record was sealed and was shown that Bessie died when Albert backed his car on her.  Sergio and Tony Mesa were in the 2015 flood when deer hunting and ended up at the castle.  The water rose and they decided not to risk going into the castle.  The lights were flickering in the rooms.  

Patti Negri joins them.  Something is fed by "it" and into "it" she describes as the worst thing in the world.  A place that resembles a ritualistic place with a six sided star or hexagram used as a talisman for conjuring magic.  It's said to have mind control over people.  She says the castle had to be here as this energy couldn't be elsewhere and could start afire.  Patti proposes a chant to heighten the spiritual energy.  In which they all join in.  Sounded like the onset of gurgling, no other way to describe it.  Patti talks of the negative energy.  A tower building which is also active.  Zak asks what lives here.  Patti pictures him: "I Roger" comes through on the Ovilus.  Zak doesn't think his name is Roger but something else.  "It" comes through on the recorder.  (See below.)

Billy reviewed the boom mic footage.  Voices were heard, a breath is heard and a voice.  Sounded like Aaron.  Was that "it" or "speak"??  Aaron captures a ball of light on the bridge.  Zak gets a thermal photo of something in the doorway.  Looks like something like a dog or creature with a gaping mouth.  He says it's white and there's no heat to it.  Doesn't catch anything in rapid fire photos.  In the room there wasn't anyone in there.  Incredible visual evidence.  Not a human spirit.  

Two responses on the Polterpod one sounds like "it or did"  And "hello."  He sees the three conducting rituals.  A crate where the earth combusted.  Strange phenomena are associated with this.  

At nerve centre Billy shows he caught something on the UV camera used by police forensically.  Took a pic of Zak and looks like a triangular anomaly.  Similar to the one he caught behind the door with the gaping mouth.  

They use the SLS.  Zak asks if Bessie is here and what their secrets are.  Zak sees a black anomaly coming out of the room.  A 360 degree mic is used.  Paranormal Puck 2 is on the bathroom.  "Female" comes through.  "Living wrong" comes through.  "Stay" when he asks if there's a portal they can go to.  "Where is Scotty" nothing comes through.  The anomaly follows them.  Something comes through like a "portal burst" over a box.  Billy says it's a historical table.  

Billy feels Zak will map something in the back room.  "God is perfect humans are imperfect" Billy says so here's an imperfection in the tile room.  A stick figure appears like it's leaning back and then a triangular shape comes through on its shape at every movement of the figure.  It crawls like it was coming through at a ritual.  Billy feels hot air.  The black anomaly reappears.  The stick figure also appears and grabbed Billy's foot and turned into a perfect triangle.  

Motion activation balls are placed in a circle as Zak reads an incantation.  When he says "fire" an anomaly comes out, stops and then leaves.  Sounds like "I am out"??  

Zak wears the night vision goggles.  He sees a human shaped mist in the middle of the room and other orbs follow it.  PSB 7 Pro is used.  "In here."  Doesn't sound like it.  "Go" or "hope"?? "Easily. "Her love...galleon"??  When he asks who are you "Scotty?" "yes"  "...??hear the voice."  Zak says they captured some amazing thermal evidence.  

Re the Ovilus saying "I Roger" maybe it's not relevant but there was a Roger Wilson who was part of a survey team at Death Valley.  He was a transitman. Though he wasn't in direct contact with Albert Johnson, he did report to someone that was.  This was when Albert was planning his ranch ie Death Valley Ranch which came to be known as Scotty's Castle.  So there was a Roger around in some form or another.  

Ghost Adventures "Ghost Island"

What's Zak singing for and what about!!??  Getting killed again or was this in relation to the accident he and his assistant almost had on their way to Utah??  The edge of the coast of Utah's Great Salt Lake to Antelope Island aka Ghost Island.  Unmarked graves on the property and an uncontrollable presence to the Mormon Fielding Garr ranch property.  Had to come during a snow storm.  Zak wants them to prepare spiritually being here.  A force prowls the island and the ranch that attacks whenever it wants.  Authorities want help from them.  They feel oppressive psychological weight.  Park Ranger Carl Aldridge believes Fielding is buried on the property but they don't know where.  A noise is heard which didn't sound like snow falling from the roof.  Carl laughs when Zak asks about the ranch hands cos they were hobos and outcasts.  One killed his wife and then himself.  Another drank himself to death after drinking lemon extract.  A visitor experiences a brutal attack inside the ranch and his hands started bleeding.  This ranger guy was abnormally smirking like he's affected by the property.  Even Zak wasn't laughing at all.  This happened in the living room where Fielding was meant to have passed away.

Park Ranger Amy and a friend were exploring the ranch house and she felt a presence and became afraid and she backed against the wall.   She was afraid and trapped.  They came back into the house and they felt cold air outside and they left.  Her friend was badly affected.  The Great Salt Lake where salt is used to contain a negative activity.  The salt is so concentrated and can be used to confine something to the island.  Inside the barn the same sound is heard again but it wasn't snow.  It was more metallic which is what I said.  They didn't investigate the barn at night if it was meant to be really haunted too.  A breath is also heard.  Also some sort of dripping is heard that was probably snow.

They assess the ranch house and Zak says they have to be careful here.  The entities live in the woods and come inside to feed.  An unseen energy.  In 1862 Jean Batiste an undertaker turned grave robber was banished to Antelope Island and a ball and chain was attached to his leg and had a tattoo on his head.  Bones were found years later.  Could he be the evil spirit.  Three members of a local paranormal group tell them about being lost in the woods and lose direction.  That's what Aaron said at the end when he felt like he was in another dimension and didn't know where he was.  Members have been attacked, scratched, things rushing them.  Also reported on the local news.  

They investigate the ranch house and the EMF on the Trifield which shows some of the highest readings they've ever captured.  Even up to a thousand miligause.  In the original part of the house, Zak feels intense fear.  "Close" is seen on the Ovilus 5 and another high spike is caught.  Zak asks who is close to them and it says "Murder."  The living room where he uses the digital recorder.  On the playback he gets touched and his hand gets cold.  That's when it reaches a thousand.  Zak left the recorder on the dining room table recording.  Just as they leave there's just talking the entire time for two minutes.  It's not very clear some sort of growl and aggressive voice but can't decipher them.  He's left the recorder all the time and gets nothing on it after leaving it alone in locations.  On the Polterpod "I love here" sounds more than "I lived here" or "I love it..."???  The other voice says "this is a mess" rather than "this is a man."  "That's a yeah" when Aaron asks if he is the grave robber here.

Jay gets to go solo in the woods like Zak really needed three of them in the ranch house with him.  Jay uses two bodycams front and back.  Jay provokes it and asks for it to show his power to him.  He hears a growl and captures an anomaly on the thermal that could be an animal.  But it doesn't look like it.  Jay swears he heard his voice come through on the spirit box and complains of stomach pain.  He lifts up his top and before he can show the scratch he says something is attacking him as something snaps some sticks underfoot.

Zak goes inside alone with the mic.  A hmm sound/voice is heard.  Something like a door being rattled is heard.  He asks for it to appear in front of him.  Another sound like something on the table.  He says something rushes up on him in the bedroom.   A growl is also heard.  On the kitchen X cam a ball of light enters the dining room at ninety degrees.  He knows it's the man talking to them in the room.  Billy interrupts him to say the man who killed his wife slept in that same room.  Aaron hears a sound and Zak says he probably needs his hearing checked.  He says Zak never hears anything.  The room also had a Polaroid of a feather on fire floating above the bed.  His hand goes ice cold.  "Get out is recorded.  "Yes it is" after Zak asks if it's his land.  

Zak and Billy argue about whose jacket makes the most noise.  I say that to my sis about her coat!  Aaron finds it funny they get aggressive just like the convo they picked up on the recorder.  Billy said he desecrated 300 graves and asks if he's mad since he's stuck here.  He says to do something to show his presence.  The vibe at the table changes.  The EMF sphere lights up and Jay comes through.  Zak asks if he heard that so Aaron had to tell him it's Jay.  So much for Aaron having bad ears!

Something ran up to Jay.  Something moves in the bushes and Zak tells Aaron to go look.  Who says it's Billy's turn.  Billy says something's out there, could be an animal or not and they should just get out.  Is this what the paranormal investigator told them about something being in the weeds and she thought it could be a wolf or something.  Jay's been marked and he asked for it to show itself.  Aaron seems to be lost and he feels he's in some weird dimension.  They left Jay back in the woods and didn't even wait for him or bring him out with them.  Billy uses the thermal cam and they hear a gunshot inside the ranch house.  Zak wore his mask in the woods the entire time.  The XLS cam doesn't focus on Jay.  Was the wife shot by the man??  Or was that something that happened to Fielding since his body wasn't found.  The stick figure goes up to the ceiling and looks as though it's holding a gun.  That was similar to that hotel ep where the groom shot his wife. 

An anomaly manifests under the table.  Jay leaves and finds he's near the woods entrance.  Zak says nothing will attach itself to any of them.  Billy uses some Palo Alto to cleanse Jay and that it won't attach to any of them.  Zak doesn't want to ever return here.  What an ep frightening but funny at the same time with their bickering and petty arguing!  

Ghost Adventures "Sutro Ghost Town"

As they approach Sutro ghost town, a female voice comes through with a message on Zak's phone.  Sounds like "thieves?? or eves rush in with the tide."  Engineer Adolph Sutro moved to Virginia City and added wealth to his assets when a streak of silver was discovered.  At least 12 died during the construction of the tunnel.  

A stake sticks out of the ground with Tucker Lyons written on the stake so it could be the body of a baby but no one knows anything about who he was.  A house burned down and a foundation remains.  Chris also shows them something he hasn't shown anyone before.  Unmarked graves of a family of six who died in a house fire.  Buried on the foundation of where the house burned down.  In 1942 the mansion burned down.  Their research showed the entire family died.  Everywhere they walk Zak says there's a new mystery that hasn't been solved.  A lot of death occurred such as in the building of the Sutro Tunnel.  Many lost souls and bodies buried and other events all come to a head at the exit and entrance of the tunnel.  A woman's then sounds like "It's rushing with the tide??  that's where all the lost souls reside in the tunnel.  Zak gets profound speaking of how as we all take our own steps they all will catch their spiritual connection.  That connection started for him earlier and he saw the image of that house which urged him to come here.  The iage of the Victorian house.

Towards every structure they feel energy squirming towards their body.  Vietnam Vet Greg felt something dark in the house where he used to live, in the upstairs room.  He feels threatened by something there.  The tunnel is an "artery to that network of veins" and Zak feels the tunnel is a portal.  Greg saw a Ouija board and it was never closed.  Water comes out of the ground and Zak says there's a geometric source and the house signifies a beacon for those spirits and this is where they go.  Greg takes them to a cabin where he used to live which also burned down.  All mysteriously.  Greg calls it "The Sutro Curse."  Greg believes the source of the fire is a man who comes through the bedroom door who looked like a soldier wearing a tunic.  He saw him through the door on many occasions.  The soldier is the root of the destruction Zak believes.  When Greg moved to Dayton he met someone who lived in the same house and mentioned seeing the same ghost.  The entity hunting his vics, Zak asks if he followed Greg to the cabin and is he holding others there too.

The souls the soldier has taken for himself are locked in the Victorian house.  Nadine entered the house and was confronted by an aggressive spirit which said "F*ck you" to her.  Collette and Claudia also add weight to the possibility of the soldier being everywhere.  He sends Aaron and Billy into the house without knowing anything and he wants to move somewhere else.  They talk of standing in the room by the wall and there were scratches heard on the wall and someone whispered in her ear.  She felt someone trying to push her over.  Which Billy says he fees the same.  Aaron asks if he didn't like that scary joke??  What scary joke??  A reply comes through "hey" sounded like "huh" to me.  "Held tied" comes through on the Puck.   

Billy says vertical shafts on the maps are different claims throughout all of Virginia City and connect to the Sutro mine and that's the only opening left.  Zak says everyone is calling the tunnel a portal.  It's exhaling all the spirits and residual activity.  Every moment of fear and pain and panic are coming through the Tunnel.  Fire, poisonous gas, explosions killed and injured up to 900 miners.  Zak says the veins in their body ie the network of mines are all they've investigated for the past 18 years and they're calling on those spirits to greet them.  They wire an X camera to the tunnel as they can't go into it.  One camera to the old saloon warehouse.  Billy runs a double copper wire from the gate to the old saloon with a current constantly going through it.  A path will be created when they come out of the portal and travel to the saloon from the Washoe Club, the Bonanza etc.  He says they're playing with a very dangerous portal.  The Victorian is left and they haven't even been inside there and that's where they will end their investigation. 

Billy and Aaron use the Paranormal Puck 2 and old time saloon music to call upon the spirits to come out.  Aaron says he heard singing, which I didn't.  An EMF sphere is on the table and a lantern light on the ground, as well as some bells too in the saloon.  The lamp is being powered with a stake wired to the lamp inside the saloon.  Zak says through the Walkie for the spirits to travel to the saloon.  Heat signatures are caught in infra red on the tunnel.   They feel wind from the tunnel as soon as the music plays and there wasn't any wind before.  Billy tells the miners to follow the music.  Jay and Zak hear a door creak open and footsteps are heard in the saloon.  A spirit could've travelled from the tunnel.  After the footsteps the battery on the camera dies.  The thermal camera battery drains too.  

Billy uses the Puck.  Zak does an Ovilus  when "star hang sand aggression" comes through.  "Plan crossover drunk" also comes through.  "Quickly" on the Puck.  "Fire."    Billy asks "is there anything we should know?"  "Burn" comes through and "drunk" also comes through.  Yeah also foreshadowing for Billy and his whiskey shots!!   Zak asks who's in the saloon they hear walking.  "Judge Edison" comes through.  Zak uses the XLS camera.  A strange mist comes out of the tunnel.  

Billy takes a shot.  They ask for the Judge.  A stick figure lays on the table, one in the back doorway and there's one behind on the stairs.  As Billy takes the shot it tries to grab the glass from his hand.  

Billy feels weight on his arm.  The light on the ball goes off too before Zak says later.  They don't see the motion ball going off already.  Billy's addicted to taking another shot as he says he'll pour another one.  Two dark balls head out from behind Billy.  A knocking is heard.  Coming from upstairs??  There's a drunk spirit on the ground.  Aaron tells them to shut up as a door opens.  There's nothing there.  The bells begin to move.  The motion ball lit up ages ago and it was the same one too.  

Billy says it wants him to drink another whiskey.  He starts acting strangely and he's never had an impulse.  Zak says he'll get drunk.  That the spirit is channelling him to drink the whiskey.  Aaron says he was upstairs and the way Billy said he's going to have another drink.  That's what came through with the plan to get drunk.  Zak says they don't need a drunk paranormal investigator.  Billy asks if his breath smells like the dude at a party.  Aaron doesn't want to smell his breath.  Zak conducts a sobriety test on Billy as he walks a straight line.  Well he could've got Jay to investigate instead.  He passes the test.  In the room where the figure was spotted at the back, the Polterpod catches a voice they say is a scream.  A voice sounds like "get help man" not "get out man."  Aaron says he felt like he was  attacked by a bird.  A mist like anomaly shoots out of Aaron.  Those calls for help allude to what Zak said about whether the soldier is holding those entities inside the mansion.  

Was that a shadow in the background when Billy and Zak are talking about Billy taking a third shot and getting drunk.  Or was that Aaron, don't think it was, but can't tell.  Where was Aaron anyway, still upstairs?? The blue is where some shadow appears and what's on the green bit, a shadow on the wall?? Will add video later not uploading right now!

In the Victorian house noises come from the upstairs room.  Aaron finds a mirror and chair and a light anomaly is seen on the handrail.  Knocking is heard from downstairs now.  The chair by the mirror is ominous.  Zak catches a still of a figure appears to be hovering in the window.  Doesn't it look like a baby??

A growl is heard.  Zak asks if it's the same growl Nadine heard.  Billy says something came out of the mirror.  The recorder on the chair records a voice.  Billy says something grabbed the back of his neck.  An anomaly manifests by the recorder.  Aaron smells cigar.  Funny since Sutro used to own tobacco shops and also sold cigars.  Could he be around still?  Did it say "get the f*ck out."  The ITC device captures a woman's voice "you gotta help" I heard the first time then "help me."  A male voice says "go."  Zak stands downstairs and says he doesn't want to leave.  An anomaly goes towards him and then backs away.  Zak says Aaron's getting on his nerves.  A clear voice comes through.  Didn't sound like a woman.  Did it say "can you help"?????  Zak calls it a "strange f*cking house."  

Pygmalion at The Old Vic

                                   

Waiting at the side of the stage for the production to begin, a lady dressed in '20's awaits.  A clap of heart stopping thunder  to give you a scare and wake you up just incase you were feeling a little tired! She runs onto the stage and a crowd gathers to begin the conversation.  Cue Eliza Doolittle, flower seller, as she tries to sell flowers and chaos ensues .  Col Pickering is introduced and she owes him a flower.  As Henry Higgins introduces himself.  Each man was on this way to London, India respectively to meet each other, as they have written books on diction!  As they talk, Eliza overhears Henry's address, 27 Wimpole Street for future reference of course.  Henry listens to dialects and is able to tell which country/region people hail from.  A taxi is hailed but as no one is there to take it, Eliza does, adding she has money to pay for it.  Probably a first with a small car as a taxi appearing on stage, at least for me.  

Henry and the Colonel talk about the various contraptions and gadgets Henry has set up at home with recording devices.  As Henry bursts into phonics/phonetics on vowel sounds.  As the audience laughs hysterically.  (Sometimes you wish you wouldn't get that over-enthusiastic belly laugher who drowns out the speech!  Aaah-las what can you do.) Eliza turns up and wants to be taught to speak 'proper.'  Henry takes on the challenge.

Starring Bertie Carvel as Henry Higgins (aka Inspector Adam Dalgliesh from Channel 5's Dalgliesh who puts in a commendable performance as Henry "Just you wait 'enry" 'iggins.  I was immediately taken back to Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, well maybe some of you may have to squint or close your eyes, but to me he did sound like him especially when I first heard him.  He was also in an episode of series 1 of Sherlock The Blind Banker as Seb Wilkes.  Sufficed to say Patsy Ferran as Eliza wasn't an Audrey Hepburn, though one of her floral dresses and her hair reminded me of her.  I did half expect a burst into song.  Sylvestra Le Touzel as Henry's mother was a great addition.  I recall her from an early BBC production of Mansfield Park, where she played Fanny price.  It was good to meet her afterwards.  Though she was taken aback at recalling some of her earlier starring roles, including Midsomer Murders.  Anyone remember her in her own elocution lesson in the Heneiken ad from way back re "the water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta" in cockney.  Good to meet Bertie as well, though I was a little surprised me and my sister were the only ones who stayed to meet him at Stage Door afterwards!  Yikes. 

Varied reviews on this from being a hit to barely passable.  Yes the press was rather cruel, calling Eliza's change rushed and hasty.  Well, not much you can do in just over two hours, or more  that could be dwelled upon.  Did they want blood.  Or were their "squashed cabbage leaf faces" too wilted to see the differences in the production to other adaptations.  They can't all be carbon copies.  Even the ending was different, though they did speak of love, Eliza was more interested in being with Freddy (Taheen Modak) and marrying him just as soon as she could support him.  Though she did end up setting up her own elocution school.  As Henry appeared to be more interested in Eliza's soul. 

The show runs until 28th October at the Old Vic, London, if you want to see it and judge for yourself! 

Death Walker 3.18 "The Sentinel Spirit"

 In Albany, New York when celebrating festivities at the Orleans County Fair, a crowd gathered to watch as a man stepped out onto the tightrope.  The bridge gave way due to the weight of the crowd on the bridge.  English block building which was set on fire and and the land was bought by John Pratt who built the opera house.  Grand Army Republic (GAR) meeting room dedicated to Union forces who served in the Army and Marines.  Their motto was "fraternity, charity and loyalty."  The brutality of war veterans face.  For over 50 years war veterans frequented the GAR room and their energies taken out.  John Pratt passed away in 1901 and the stage area in the opera house was enlarged.  Horse shaped balcony has since been removed.  Many emotions are felt here.  During WWII the opera house chairs were removed for the steel war drive.  Michael purchased it in 2005 and restored all three buildings for the past three years.  Vacant parts available for paranormal investigations.  Shadow figures, disembodied voices, footsteps, strong stench.  This location could be haunted by Pratt, his nephew or a Civil War vet who wanted to stay.  Erie canal tragedy could also be the cause of the hauntings.

Michael is going to restore the floors of the buildings, the GAR meeting rooms and the ensignias that were particular to the members.  Historian found an adjoining room with a peephole and the theory is any group that ran the meeting and could stay in there to find out what was going on.  The GAR room was next to it.  He's trying to restore the opera house and have meetings in the GAR house.  Experienced tugs, voices, shadow people, footsteps across the floor.  The shadowman could be John Pratt and he walks along the stage.  The General was scary,  and followed DJ around.  People in the opera house were happy and he feels dizzy there.  Michael said the opera house ran for 50 years and there are many rumours and stories about tragedies.  The block burnt out 1820, 1960 and 1880 and everything burned down was built of masonry.  Otis is a boy who hangs around, tugs and grabs hand.  The opera house has excited emotions and happiness.  The General was a captain who oversaw things here and he hangs around here.  There were two deaths every mile when the Eerie Canal was being built.

A noise is heard on the stage of the opera house.  Nick asks if Pratt is here  "Yes...yeah."  Why do I always hear "help me...help" come through briefly.  "He didn't make it."  A woman's voice comes through underneath the male voice.  Upstairs in the GAR room he asks if soldiers are here.  Asks for the General.  Was that "Alexandra" that came though after Nick asks what their name is.   Nick hears a door open and on replay the door with the peephole can be seen opening.  That was creepy.  The batteries die.  He feels electricity on his body.  

In the basement Nick searches for the shadowman, the intelligent spirit who's been communicating with him.  "John Pratt" comes through.  "Alexander" comes through again.  "I'm the shadowman."  "Yes I did" when he asks if it made the noise.  The General is the shadowman.  "Listen."  "Who's this?"  They want him to go to the GAR room.  Nick knows there's life after death.  The contact made with the General.  He hears a cry come through.  The consciousness of those who died remains in the foundations of the building.  Spirits can communicate from the other side to show what they went though.  He wants a sign that they exist on the other side.  "I understand" comes through.

The opera house.  I heard "please help me" again.  Why - was it to do with the fire??  "They didn't make it" those that died on the bridge.  "Hi John" and a scream comes through.  Residual and intelligent voices come through.  This is the most active night chosen.  Nick asks if they are the ghosts, is he.  "Guide us."  "I am"  on the balcony.  Nick wants validation from the other side.  He asks if they can hear his voice.  "Accident" is heard.  Some man fell through the stage.  Nick uses sound activated lasers to see if shadows are seen or if noise is heard.  

Death Walker 3.17 "The Mountain Clinic"

 

Nick comments how most people don't like to think or talk about death as a reality but we will die one day.  In the US, 60% die in hospitals and 20% at home.  Many vacant hospitals are hotspots for paranormal activity with people dying unexpectedly.  Here at the Mountain Clinic many former hospital fixtures are real and the original wooden morgue table in the basement.  Built in one year for $1000,000.  There are 35 beds, 10 private rooms and 2 semi private rooms.  Each with a lab and modern equipment.  During the second year over 1,000 patients admitted in the main building and this was enlarged in 1919.  Maternity ward was added and a ward for men.  Dr Ruth Mallen was the first female dentist.

 Nick from his years of investigations has found that odd things occur in places where people died especially in hospitals where spirits don't want to move on, due to their passing negative spirits in the employees and visitors.  Paranormal activity including disembodied voices and things moving by themselves.  There are doctors and nurses wandering the house, as well as aggressive poltergeist activity and he wants to make contact with the spirits who have chosen to stay here for their reasons.  Spirits of doctors and nurses still remain and taunt the old mountain hospital.  Saw an imprint when a former nurse walked through the clinic and moved to the basement morgue.  Quietest place at the hospital.   A book keeper saw all the paperwork boxes emptied and everything was on floor and cabinets were open.  The book keeper left the office.  Mopping floors and speaking with worker the bucket rolled by itself.  In the basement, can feel someone walking behind them.  Can hear whispering.  On the second floor and heard slippers on the hall but no one was there and it was after dark.  Neighbours have seen shadows across the windows.  The Mountain Clinic morgue were the dead were embalmed in the basement.  Can see the imprints on the table.  A family called mentioning a nurse who worked here in the 1940's and had birthing skills upstairs and was transferred in the morgue and they got emotional.

Nick wants to know where the energy goes when a person dies.  He can see the stains on the table.  He says it's creepy walking here with so many people here and being operated on.  Did "accident" come though.  "Awakened" is heard.  Nick asks if that's what happened when they passed.  "Yes" comes through after he asks if they died there.  Nick asks how they can hear him from the reality or the other side they're on.  He doesn't understand how they can hear  him as he can only hear them or is he a ghost and they're living right now.  "You are" meaning Nick's the ghost, possibly.  Disease took his life "yes."  TB was a problem here.  "My throat."  "I hate it...medics."  Justin feels something pull on his jacket and nothing like that's happened to him before and he was pulled back.  "Yes" after he asks if something pulled on his jacket. A woman answers "me."  

Follow the path of the people who died here and brought to the morgue.  He tries to connect mentally with them and try to communicate from this side to the other.  Bodies that died on the table and uses REM sleep enhancer to connect with whatever's lingering.  Justin leaves the building and Nick wears the ghost helmet.  He felt the energy of someone who died here and could see nurses at the same time.  He feels drained and oppressive, the energy is draining.   He was exhausted as something was affecting his throat and was closing it up and could see nurses on the table and feels that the energy was emotionally captured and the body was dead but the energy was still lingering.  He felt the same energy as the spirit coming through saying his throat hurt earlier on.

Important to investigate during the day as it was a full functioning hospital during the day.  A sound is heard upstairs on the third floor in the surgical suite.  He uses the shadow detection device but nothing comes through.  "Yeah" after he asks if he's laying on the bed.  A mysterious echo-y voice like a woman.  Nick asks who's standing there.  Nick says something was thrown at Justin and hit him.  In the same place where his jacket was pulled.  A loud bang is heard like a door slamming.  "Patient" after Nick asks if it banged on the wall.  "Wall" comes through.  Intelligent voices coming through during the day and night and he's picking up the energy of these people.  He asks if the nurse he saw is still here in the morgue.  Nick visually saw her working on the patients when he slept here during the night.  Another banging is heard.  Nick wants them to help him figure out what happens when they die, where the energy goes?  Do you know that you're dead?  "Megan" comes through.  Then "Nick's down here." 

"I hate..."  Nick asks if it's a continuation of energy where they feel they have to stay here working.  "I work..."   "I did..." work here.  Nick gets pushed in the back and hears a voice in his ear at the same time.  He felt a hand on his back.  "I just did" comes through.  "I hate this..."  Sounds like a jumble of voices coming through.  The device goes off.  "Yeah..." pushed him.  Same as Justin and his jacket.  Shadow figures, phantom footsteps, disembodied voices all show a continuing cycle of life but hauntings intrigue him.  Nick feels people are trying to help people and the tragic deaths occurred here from passing away.  The physical energy and consciousness remains here and that's what people experience here.  

Death Walker 3.13 "Risser Hospital"

Bonham, Texas.  The Risser Hospital built in 1915 by John Sparger Jr and residence for DW Sweeney, purchased by Joe A Risser who renovated the 18 bed house into a hospital.  On 17th November 1961 The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Sam Rayburn died in the North East downstairs room.  There have been thirty confirmed deaths and more in archive records.  DW Sweeney in 1935 had his funeral here.  Donnie brought it and renovating into a bed and breakfast.  Hopes altered environment stirred paranormal activity.  Also renovated the house next door which is also haunted.  Vacant except his office and he experienced paranormal activity and asked for an investigation.  See if connection between both locations.  Migrating too and from both buildings.  Probably due to construction work. Johnny Haney, a paranormal investigator has seen shadow figures and heard disembodied voices.  An entity lashed out at him and his girlfriend after conducting a seance when they slept there.  

Nick wants to see if spirits of residence and if the deceased patients are fine with the renovation.  See if force will physically attack him.  His brother and sister were born in one of the rooms.  He feels emotional.  Donnie rode his bike there and was drawn in by the house.  Johnny heard footsteps at 5am something kicked the air mattress and moved it across the floor.  Voices yelled in his ear when sleeping.  One investigator scratched and scratched on neck.  Poltergeist activity on second floor and workers hear phantom footsteps, see shadow figures.  One worker saw shadow figures.  Donnie and two of his contractors heard them walking across the stairs and across the street they would see an old lady in the bathroom window.  

Accounts of physical attacks, Nick questioned if spiritual energy can overtake a person's mind and that can inflict self harm on a human body.  He felt dizzy when he walked in and hears footsteps.  Justin heard footsteps and saw something from the corner of his eye.  Nick felt a needle in his side in the surgical room.  He saw tracks and heard dragging sound and sees a wheel chair.  He doesn't know if that was here.  More walking is heard.  A woman is heard crying on the Geobox.  Some creepy voices come through in  the background.   He's curious if they're intelligent.  I hear "Justin" something come through.  "Behind you."  "Nick..."  "Nick said..."  "Hello."  No reply to how they know his name since his name always comes through.  He asks if they can see him. A paralight is on the stairs and will activate.  He asks if there's a doctor still here.  "Yes."  The paralight sounds off twice. "I was" born here.  "I lived here."  The light goes off again.  Nick feels static electricity.  "I'm here."  He asks if it can see him "yes" twice.  He feels cold.  "Yeah" after he asks if he's the doctor.  He's now interacting with something more intelligent.  

He stays alone in the hallway by the stairs now and see if any spirits will communicate with him further.  The light goes off when he's sleeping.  Then goes off again.  He suspects there's still residual energy here.  When he talks about whatever's here the light goes off.  I said the light going off sounds like Morse Code.  Dot dot dash type of noise.  Goes off again and sounds like Morse Code again.  When he says step on the stair Justin hears it say he'll get scratched.  "Risser" comes through..."yeah."  They don't like the renovations being done.  "He asked for it...stop."  Nick says it's now more intelligent and the doctor's name is heard in the surgical room.  Leave his room and go down the stairs.  

He goes next door where the woman who passed away there has been seen in the window.  As well as phantom footsteps.  He feels the energy has changed in there.  It's more peaceful.  He likes the Feng Sui going in there with the colours.  A different feeling when you stand there and look at the hospital.  

Back at the hospital he investigates using the Tesla coil and gets documentation of who the entity is that scratches people.  More footsteps are heard on the stairs.  He asks if they like the new owners and if they'll be nice to them.  A lot of voices come through, that's what I said before Nick did.  Nick says they have to let them do the renovations.  A male voice keeps saying "no."  Nick asks if it's the doctor "yeah."  They must co-exist together and allow them to let people in here.  Just not harm anyone but they want to let the building be alive they have to let people come in here.  Let them finish their work.  "Yes we have to...we have to"  Intelligent responses coming through and he thinks the man now understands that the house is being brought back to life from the dilapidated nature of the house.  Nick slept here and he doesn't feel threatened now as it holds so much history of life and death.    

Death Walker 3.12 "Van Horn Mansion"

The Van Horn mansion was built in 1823 by Justice James Van Horn, his son married a woman named Malinda who was rumoured to have died in childbirth or murdered.  Her body's whereabouts were unknown until the 1970's and human remains were detected in the adjacent to rose garden by cadaver dogs.  Headstone remains where she was discovered with the cracked stone and had it weighted down.  The gravestone would shift to the North and had to be put back into place.  A boy plays in bathroom, under stairs a cook is seen peeking in the basement and Van Horn Senior growling at women, furniture and items have been donated to the historical society.  Some items harbour unnatural spirits.  A ceremony conducted to rid demons on mirrors in display but failed as people can still see them in the mirrors.  Open today allowing humans to freely invade the mansion.  Maid's bedroom in the attic has activity, doors open and shut by some force.  Figures peek out from kitchen.  A hazardous waste company's attempts to build offices failed due to an aggressive haunting so donated the building to the  Newfane Historical Society.  Faces seen and linger in lights on windows.  Nick will try to make contact with Malinda and see if she divulges secrets from her past and with the shadow figure, he will try and communicate why here and where it came form.

Rose says you can hear voices and turn off alarms and sounds like a party and can hear whispering and talking and she's sat in the parlour and can see a dark shadow and she's been in the butler's pantry.  Looked at the pantry door and saw a black shadow with a top hat on and she froze.  Shadows in the master bedroom and she's been pushed and landed on the floor.  The alarm system gets set off by the figures.  A lady trustee on the second floor and a rope tripped her on the stairs.  Twelve Van Horn family members seen, including Abigail, who was Van Horn Senior's wife been seen, has blonde hair and is seem going from Malinda's room to the bedroom on the second floor.  In the basement and something played with the back of her neck.  Her daughter saw a scratch on her neck.   Saw a black figure on all fours and climbed the back of the roof. 

Investigators caught a shadow figure and a child in the hall.  Camera was also moved when no one was there.  Some creature was captured on the other side of the mirror and things have bee captured in reflections and in the attic too.  Where were the photos??  Everything was captured in the mirror and looked like a troll.  

"Dead" comes through.  Feels his energy being drained.  Did that say "there's something with you"??  Sure I heard "Van Horn" too.  "Dead" comes through twice.  He asks who brought them here, "black" comes through.  Nick asks what happened to Malinda?  "Kill" comes through.  Was that "monster"??  "Those were" bones.  Her spirit is "here."  He feels something come in and prevents them speaking about Malinda.  "Dead" is heard again.  "Attic" comes through.  In Malinda's room on the second floor he asks to communicate from beyond.  "Dead" again.  "Took her," "dead" comes through.  A strong energy is felt in the room.   "I do."  I hear "dead" as well.  Some creepy whispering voice is heard.  Nick hears footsteps.  "Speak" is heard - by me anyway.  "Negative" is heard.  I didn't hear "that's right" but "negative."  

Nick sets up lasers.  "Light."  "Died."  "Attic" comes through when he asks if he has to go to the attic.  "Help me."  Sets up light panels to see spirits communicating with him.  The lights light up.  "Seance" comes through and he asks if the entity came through then.  Nick feels burning on his back.  He sees the door move and he heard it creak.  Sis heard it, I didn't.  Intense energy after he spoke about the seance.  Did he have any marks on his back or a scratch??  

Nick goes where the monument to Meainda's grave is outside.  What happened when she died?  "Keep" I heard after he asks if they kept her in the attic.  "Dead...murdered."  He asks if they know Rose as she's seen them.  "No" comes through in a woman's voice after he asks if Rose has seen her inside the house.  "In the head...murdered." 

 "Nick."  "Killed" comes through twice.  A woman's cry was heard.  "Here" in a woman's voice is heard after he says she was found here by the dogs.  Puts motion activated light sensors on the grave to see if Malinda communicates with him.  The light goes off on the side.  Oh to see a shadow/spirit just once!!  "I cry" is slightly whispered by a woman.  He didn't look into any mirrors here.  He hopes the investigation provides some closure for her.  But no answers on what happened to her, whether she was murdered or not.  Logically she must have been murdered for her remains to be found there outside.  Why was her body just discarded like that??

Death Walker 3.19 "Greenville Manor"

There's a strong supernatural presence in the manor constructed in 1881 and has a malevolent presence in Greenville manor.  Around a 141 years built for Thomas Gibson who came from England and settled here and made local mens' clothing store and had two sons, Howard and Frank both enlisted and fought in WWI.  Howard found dead in a room in 1930 and was responsible for his death as his pistol slipped out of his hands and hit the floor and his death was ruled accidental.  Lizzie, mother found dead two years later.  Two months later Thomas died.  The Macmillan's took it over and started a funeral business.  Used his skills as an undertaker and cabinet maker and used his skills to make coffins and started his funeral business.  Five generations kept the family business in operation.  Several families moved into manor and left due to hostility from spirits.  Marcus, the owner, allows others to conduct research in the house.  Something with evil intent inhabits third floor and lurks in the attic.  He wants to determine if spirits are part of the Macmillan or Gibson families and the spirit on the third floor has invaded the property and lashes out at those who live in the manor.

Kate speaks of voices being heard and children, doors opened and things being moved.  Walking, touching, yelling, woman crying.  Thousands of emotions and energy is in the building in.  Marcus says the house holds the energy of the dead.  Embalmings were done in the basement and 1940's embalming tables are still there and their tools.  Kate was pushed down the stairs.  Voices and conversations between man and woman.  On the second floor there's some kind of energy in one of the rooms.  

Nick asks for Gibson and McMillan and anyone from the family.  Creepy voices come through the Geobox.  "He has Marcus..." I hear in a woman's voice.  "Accidental" when Nick asks if he's the one who got shot.  The bullet hole is on the wall still.  "Yeah."  A banging kind of noise is heard and the chandelier is moving by itself on the ceiling.  "A man" is moving it.  Nick uses the shadow detection device.  In the basement Nick sits on an embalming table and lies on it.  All the bodies were drained and the fluids washed out into the foundations of the house.  He wants to connect his energy with whatever's in the house.   He wears the ghost helmet and uses a REM sleep enhancer.  He wants to know if a spiritual energy was dragged in through the doorway.   He picks up from the residual energy of the people still lingering or it is something more sinister.  Nick feels sick.  He went into a weird mental state and out of body experience where he saw blood and family arguments were occurring.  An entity was lurking behind them and he had a visual image of it.

He sets up a laser experiment in the room where the dead bodies were placed and wakes were carried out.  He can see if anything disrupts the laser beams and who the entity is that's been communicating with him.  He tells it to move through his body and use his energy.  Nick comes through again many times.  Nick says he wants to get into the coffin and how creepy it would be.  Also how that thought just came into his head to do that.  "Edgar" comes through.  He feels goosebumps and electricity through his body.  Another banging sound is heard like a door closing.  Nick smells cigar smoke in Harold's room and asks if he shot himself.  He hears screaming.  I didn't.  There's something darker here.  "Nick" comes through.  He says he'll be sleeping in the coffin and become vulnerable so he can be communicated with.  Motion sensitive light sensor is left downstairs.

In the attic he feels something being attached to his spine, like energy.    A woman's voice asks "did you hear?"  "You walked into it..." I hear.  Sounds like they were having another conversation between themselves.  The sensor goes off downstairs.  "Nick's down here."  He should come in disguise since everyone knows him now.  Ha.  No one does anything or much of anything except say his name!  On the third floor he goes to the attic "Yes" comes through in a woman's voice when he asks if it's in the attic.  "I can see Nick" comes through.  "I was in pain when I came" or something like that is what I hear.  "You came to us..."  A knocking is heard.  Suddenly it goes silent in the attic.  "Dead" comes through a lot. 

Nick remains alone as his energy is also drained and he feels vulnerable.  He's alone and wants to try and connect with other energy and sleeps in the coffin.  Nothing happens of course.  He's being careful since there's something else in the house, something darker.  Perhaps an attachment that was brought in.  He falls asleep in the coffin.  Must have been comfortable.  He's drained of energy and realizes how a location with emotions can physically and mentally affect the body.  People here had trauma in their lives leaving behind residual energy.  The history and investigation brought him closer to the other side and his experience taught him how fast life can fly and can appreciate how it can be lost.  Paranormal consciousness can possibly continue in the afterlife based on evidence he documented. So if energy can't be destroyed that means part of them was left in this location.  He wants to find out why they can connect and his journey continues.  

Death Walker 3.15 "Haunted Bergen House"

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.

Death Walker 3.14 "The Tall Man"

The historic Iron Island so called as it is surrounded by railroad tracks on all sides was 1883 built as a church building and abandoned in the 1940's then bought for a funeral home for fifty years.  Donated in August 2000 to the Iron Island Preservation Society for displaying items and artefacts.  There are twenty four human remains in paint cans in the basement and eight unclaimed bodies belonged to soldiers, one of whom was Edgar, who married and settled down in Buffalo.  He was buried but he still haunts the museum's attic.  One of the most haunted museums in America conduct tours with paranormal teams.  Many TV series have conducted research and captured evidence.  The building is haunted by many visitors, disembodied voices, shadow figures.  One of them is the tall man.  A haunted mirror allows different spirits to come and go.  People believe they are doors to other dimensions.  The tall man uses it as a dimensional rift to enter and interact with the living and Nick believes he could he be an inter dimensional being.  Tessa visited the museum years ago and contacted a 6 year old boy who had his funeral in the 1960's.  Trying to figure out why he chooses to haunt here and how he got here.

The Preservation Society here was started as the neighbourhood was deteriorating.  Marge walked in the front door and felt a presence around her.  Was a good feeling and found it was her son who died at 6 of pneumonia.  Jimmy goes home with her.  Patrick talks of hauntings from children to negative spirits and some kind of a doorway for transient spirits.  Seen shadow figures and head towards folding doors.  A man on a tour got scratched across  his forehead.  Investigator was pushed from behind.  He saw a tall shadow figure with a cloak/hat on.  Many people here and spirits come through here.  A man was seen in the front hall and he had a hat on and red eyes.  Shadows seen in childrens' room.  Seen in the attic and watches people.  Something came off of someone's chest.  Noises heard from the attic and in the military room and stomping near their chairs.  A man and woman talking through the wall and was howling.  Nick caught screaming coming through the Geobox.  Ten shadow figures seen in the  chapel and called for Scott and when he arrived they made room for him to walk to the alter and then vanished.  

Tessa sees the little boy and he sees them and enters another room.  Nick uses a Tesla Forever audio device and Nick wants to draw the energy and see if he's affected personally and understand how they were as people.  Conscious energy of people here so many emotions here since it was a church and a funeral home.  Are residual energies and intelligent too.  'T' names are here like Tom or Todd.  Tessa protected herself before entering the building as pregnant with their son, Luciano.  A boy's voice comes through.  Did he say "help"??  Two names with a 'J' James or John and the 'T' name.  "Tessa" comes through and so does "Nick" many times, at least over four.  The man can say her name.  She sees a shadow man there.  The man is on edge and is watching them.  Nick asks if there's a man there?  "Yes."  Nick asks what happens when you die?  The boy doesn't want to come here.  He's playing with them.

The boy and the shadow man stay away from each other like they're in their own space.  Some intelligent energy when they die and multiple things happen, Nick believes this happens when you die.  Was that "me" or something in a child's voice again.  When Nick asks if the shadow man is there.  In the basement Tessa coughs and a feels a tense energy around her.  Could be the entity that died in the fire here.  No one mentioned a fire here before.  She felt like being in smoke and her eyes were blurry.  Tessa leaves.

Nick asks them to use the mirror as their doorway.  Nick comes through and he feels cold behind his back.  A spirit is behind him.  "Yes."  "Lingering."  A female comes through crying.  "Red" comes through.  Frequencies of vibrations are being used by the voices.  Something is standing next to him "yeah."  "Mirror" comes through.   "Thirty..."  Name of shadow man something like "Theirry" then leave"????  Layers and layers with the history of different emotions of people from the funeral home and a church and all emotions contained here.  In a melting pod of energetic emotions.  Can almost sense the spirits and he wonders about the mirror and how it holds energy of the present, past, future, a void of whoever looks into the mirror.  Space doesn't exist and become encompassed by your own world.

In the attic he sets up an experiment to visually document the image of the shadow man.  Obviously he wouldn't come through and the meter didn't go off either,  The Geobox is much better.  "Shadow man here he is...seen me."  "I'm in here...he's watching...crawl space...hidden...."  "I did...funeral home."  He worked here then.  Nick feels the oppressiveness from the darkness.  Feels him lurking and as he understands the energies and he can observe the residual and intelligent energies.  In the old part of the church.  He stays in the shadows so wouldn't appear.  "Nick's here...I know you..."  that's why they don't show themselves.  They know why he's here.  "The Man."  "Shadow..."  Nick says he's been here before it was a church.  Did he work in the basement and do all the embalming?    Laugh comes through.  "Shadowman."  "A man."  He gives information of the other dimension, what happens when you die?  "Move on..."  Nick feels burning down his spine.  Wonders if the Shadowman is part of the funeral home and there is residual and intelligent still continuing with the objects and they continue in the afterlife of another dimension.  Shadow man controlling and watching and he gets angry when people come in his space.  History, energy emotions and he believes it continues in the afterlife.  New information was received  by investigating this location and that multiple things happen when you die and this is just the beginning of life after death.  

Portals To Hell 2.4 Iron Island Museum with Katrina Weidman and Jack Osborne were amongst the TV shows that Nick didn't mention when he said that shows investigated here.  

Death Walker 3.16 "Fire in the Church"

In 1845 the great hunger in Ireland lasted for 4 years leading to starvation of 1 million and other diseases, up to 2 million fled and came to Buffalo, New York.  The Irish settlers as the old First Ward settlers working on docks, lumber yards, railroads and grain elevators.  Numbers lessened by natural disasters and two months later, in Buffalo a city epidemic ensued as Irish immigrants from Quebec emigrated to Buffalo with cholera.  All transports were stopped and death carts were on the streets.  Took more than 3,500 people.   In 1849 it returned and they believed its return was to punish poor immigrants due to debauchery and sin.  They took over the diocese and St Stephens was a rival church.  Contained residual hauntings imprinted into the land and materials.  27 December 1948 a fire engulfed The building where two priests were killed and the environment may have stains of human suffering. The rectory and other areas rebuilt.  Local sound engineer, Brian, bought the building in 2016 to turn it into apartments.  Workers saw presence.  Nick found from his investigations that unexplained phenomena is linked to traumatic events but also land where construction took place.  Residual energy from tragedy can play like a broken record.  Nick wants to determine if residual energy is positive or negative.  The current owner speaks of the energy still here and recaps the history of the church.  The priests still have their emotions in the church here.

Nick investigates the main building where the alter is and asks if the priests are still here who died in the fire.  "Pain."  "He was in the fire."  After he asks if the priest's still here.  Very creepy voice comes through.  "Burn."  "Emil"??  after he asks who's speaking.  "I did" die in the fire.  "I hate losing??"  I hear "evil" when Nick asks if they can communicate.  The organ plays by itself but not now.  "Can you play" sounds like.  Something is thrown or falls.  The two on the Geobox were having their own conversation.  A female voice keeps saying "ssh."  "A man" made the noise.  "In pain."  Nick asks if he wants to let them know that his energy still continues and watching over the place.  Wonder why a priest would say his energy still lingers here.  When they believe in ascending to heaven.  He leaves a device to sound when something comes near it.  "I see it."  It's radiating EMF.  The alarm on the device goes off when he leaves the place, as usual.

Nick asks if the ley lines are being used under the foundations of the church to use their energy.  Nick asks what's here lingering and whether other spirits are moving through the foundations to the ley lines.  The spirit is near him.  Noises are heard in the basement.  "In there..." another noise is heard.  Nick asks if they can describe what they see and feel.  I hear "surrounded by...let's go in there...ashes" again sounds like two people having a conversation.  Nick thinks this area as being sacred and people passing away.  The past holds the energy and it moves through the ground, the energy, it gathers here.  The pull like a magnet and the foundation releases that energy intelligently.  The emotions of people producing that energy into the environment where things are happening.  The ripple effect continues in this reality.

"Nick alien" comes up and two minutes before I was mentioning that alien limb/arm Nick captured a few eps ago!  "Nick's here" of course they do.  Wants to contact on a different realm and if they can.  "Burn" "I'm outside or upside now" I hear before Nick asks if can hear him.  Asks what people should know that they are still alive?  "Keep living again."  Brian and Jess, the owners.  They're bringing energy here as the living.  Another noise is heard like Poltergeist activity.  He used the motion light sensors.  Hear the voices intelligently responding.  Justin says it's using their energy to interact.  "I murdered/killed a man" came through before.  Nick asks if energy can't be destroyed in bodies we live in can that continue in the afterlife, can consciousness continue in that reality.  Can they move things?  Another noise is heard.  

Nick analyzed the voices and he felt there's something with malice in the basement.  The spiritual energy could be malicious towards a living person under the right circumstances and the supernatural energy from a negative event occurred a long time ago from whatever's in the basement.  The energy chooses to live by itself and observe the living.  He doesn't believe the energy is that of the two priests in the fire.  Also "in hell" came through earlier in the basement when he asked where the spirit is.
