NARRATOR: Ashland, Ohio,
is a quiet town
just an hour outside
of Cleveland.
It's home to , people,
including Bob and Tammy Conyew.
Their life is peaceful until
they start renovations.
What do you think?
That's when strange
things start to happen.
At first, they notice
sounds around the house
when they're
the only ones at home.
But things quickly escalate.
There were a lot of
physical things going on
like knives flying off the wall.
They would actually
fly across the room.

into flame in the kitchen
for no apparent reason.
NARRATOR: Then they see
frightening apparitions.

HINES: What looked like a little
girl dressed in white,
she would be
staring back at them,
and then she would slowly
go up the stairway.
And when they would go
up to see what it was,
they would never find anything.
And that isn't the worst of it.

and his wife one night
had seen a shadow

Those are usually not the result

They were anxious

[ Growls ]
NARRATOR: Terrified,
the couple calls
paranormal investigator
John Hines.
With more than
years experience,
he's one of the top
ghost hunters in North America.
HINES: I, myself,
got my start because of
paranormal experiences
I had at a pretty early age.
And that's what got me
into wanting to find out
and learn more about it and
investigate paranormal activity.
My ultimate goal
as an investigator is
to validate and come up with
evidence for clients
who are reporting things
that are happening
from a paranormal standpoint.
But when we first talked
to Bob and his wife,
they were really on edge.
What it sounded to me was that
something had been
stirred up in this house.
NARRATOR:
He agrees to investigate
Bob and Tammy's home.
John's daughter Kaitlyn
and his co-investigator
Josh Fogleman join
him on this case.
The first time I
walked into the house,
I felt kind of uneven.
It wasn't a very good feeling.
I felt like something
was watching me.
NARRATOR: Heading upstairs,
John and the team
start in the bedroom belonging
to Bob and Tammy's daughter.
What they encounter
is troubling.
I was starting to feel ill.
You feel warm, nauseated.
Hey, you okay?
Very lightheaded.
I felt really uneasy.
And I just needed
to get out of there.
I don't know what was going on.
Josh, you okay?
In a fairly
short amount of time,
he just felt so bad that
he said he needed to leave.
This was the first time I'd
ever seen Josh act like that.
For this to come on
him was something
I had never seen
happen to him before.
NARRATOR:
Josh isn't the only victim.
Kaitlyn falls prey, too.
She had indicated she wasn't
feeling all that great.
At one point, she just
kind of slumped over
on the bed that they
were sitting on.
She just really
wasn't feeling good.
We just lost Josh and Kaitlyn,
and they definitely weren't in
a good condition to continue.
We probably were
in the presence of an entity
that was trying
to draw energy from them
because this came
on them so fast.
I mean, it wasn't
a gradual onset.
They both just suddenly
did not feel well.
Whatever was there was
definitely something
that was negative,
possibly demonic.
It was powerful enough
that it was able to make
two of my investigators sick.
-[ Grunts ]
-Get up. Get up.
It's a very good possibility
we could've been possessed or...
You okay?
...worse, dead.
You never know.

NARRATOR: Not wanting to risk
further injury or worse,
John is forced to suspend
the investigation for the day.
HINES: That alone to me as
the lead investigator,
gave me strong
concerns for how strong
whatever was there was.
Not only for my team
but also because, you know,
Bob was having to live
in that environment.
NARRATOR:
John vows to return to confront
whatever is
tormenting the family.
I believe that the family
did have reason to be scared.
Because they were basically
sharing their home
with something that
was able to not only
impact the environment
but impact them as people.
NARRATOR:
After the team leaves,
the activity in
the home continues.
They were still hearing
things moving around.

Arianne has scratches on her.
And also had a circular pattern,
very, very similar
to a pentagram,
b*rned or somehow
scuffed into her back.

NARRATOR: Terrified, the family
call John immediately.
Well, as soon as I hear
that a pentagram has been,
you know, etched or scratched
into somebody,
immediately I'm thinking,
"Okay, we're dealing
with something that's demonic."
The family's state of mind
was definitely an increase
in their anxiety.
They were even more on edge.
NARRATOR:
John scrambles his team

ready for a battle.
FOGLEMAN:
It does still feel active.
You can still feel
something watching you.
HINES: Knowing that
the first time it made
two investigators sick,
I couldn't help but wonder
what might it do to us
this time.
NARRATOR:
They start on the second floor.
Hey.
What's in here?
KAITLYN: What you got to do,
just step over
Did you just hear
something squeak?
Yeah.
We could start
hearing this meow.
[ Soft squeaking ]
Like a cat, like if it was
sitting right here on the floor,
it was like something like that.
I know.
But it sounded like
he came from in there.
-Do they have a cat?
-No.
You know, when you hear
a sound of an animal,
it could be something
masquerading as a pet.
[ Soft squeaking ]
-Did you hear that?
-[ Coughs ] Yeah I did.
It did it again.
One of them seem to come
from one of the other rooms,
so we decided to, you know,
go into Arianne's room
and try to do an EVP session.
FOGLEMAN: I felt nervous going
back into that room
because when we
first went in there,
I didn't feel good,
Kaitlyn fainted.

They can't shake the feeling
that something is in
the room with them.
And what happens next
suggests they're right.
Ow.

-Dad, I can't
-What's wrong? What happened?
I can't feel my leg.
HINES: Kaitlyn had mentioned
that her leg felt --
it felt really cold as if
she had been standing
in front of an open refrigerator
is kind of what it felt like.
Her leg and also her hand
were kind of tingling.
She was complaining that
the tingling was getting worse.
And within just seconds,
she said that she couldn't feel
her leg and also her hand.
-What's wrong?
-I can't feel my leg.
I am worried because,
you know, this is my daughter.
Let her go.
This was the first time
that I had ever seen
Kaitlyn impacted quite like
this on an investigation.
NARRATOR: John suspects
it was indeed a demon
attacking Kaitlyn.
I think that it was
it's way of saying,
"I can do this,
imagine what else I can do."
NARRATOR: He furiously
tries to protect her.
Stay away
from my daughter!
Let her go!
John fears what the demon
might do to Kaitlyn.
The one thing that
I knew was that
I couldn't allow that
situation to continue.
[ Whispering indistinctly ]
It hurts.
It still hurts.
I had my hand on her leg,
and I just said, you know,
"By the power of God,
leave my daughter alone."
Almost immediately we heard
and felt a boom or a bang.
And at that point, I pulled
my hand away and Kaitlyn said...
It's starting
to feel better.
We kind of helped her
to her feet,
and she was able to stand on it.
We stopped everything,
and all of us left that room
and went back downstairs.

With Kaitlyn safely downstairs,
John and Josh return to

in wait for them.
As soon as I stepped
into the room,
I just suddenly
felt like I had been

I really couldn't move.
I was seeing this shadowy
form in front of me.
Being att*cked by

And while I was talking,
I suddenly felt
this just bone chilling cold.
I just suddenly just
broke out in goose bumps,

said I just caught an orb.
It was right at
about where I saw it.
Aw, man, I got goose bumps.
JOSH: Dude, I think
I just caught an orb
going right above
your head.
Right above my head?
I swear to God.
Which way did it go?
It went this way.
That way?
Yeah.
Oh, my God,
I got goose bumps.
If it's something that is
a negative entity as an orb,
it's very possible that it
might be wanting to possess
or at least to
break you down enough
to make you more vulnerable.
I definitely felt that I was
being personally att*cked.
And I do believe that it
was probably an extension
of the att*ck that had
happened before with Kaitlyn.
What that told me was,
okay, whatever is here
it's probably going to escalate.
I felt that at this point,
okay, it's time
to go downstairs.
We have what we came for.

John ends the investigation

findings to the Conyew's.
There very possibly was
a portal in that location
where these things
were freely being able to

We felt that the home definitely
was being haunted

the negative energy.
The temperature changed,
it got really cold.
This is strange to us.
Like, it's strange
to us in the moment.
NARRATOR: Their equipment
confirms a paranormal presence.
BONNER: And that's when
the K started going off,
and that's when it
started to spike.
It slowly went up,
then it went to red,
all the way to red.
And I've never really seen
that stay at red before.
NARRATOR:
Then the unimaginable happens.
♪♪
[ Screams ]
NARRATOR: Ghost hunter
Todd Bonner and his team
investigate
the Carrie Jacobs Bond house
in Michigan.
They know right away
they aren't welcome here.
You can feel
the negative energy.
The spirit in the home is
powerful and menacing.
[ Beeping ]
BONNER: That's when the K
started going off.
NARRATOR: And then the entity
uses that device to att*ck.
BONNER: Our K meter flew
and hit Lauren in the leg.
And she screamed instantly.
[ Screaming ]
The K meter hurled in the air,
five feet in the air,
and it stayed red, all the way
red while it was in the air.
Flew with force and hit Lauren.
It was something
I'll never forget.
[ Screaming ]
I'm not gonna lie, I was scared.
I ran down the stairs
as quickly as I could.
I burst into the room,
I said, "What happened?"
And we just said,
"We got to get out of here."
We just ran out.
We got to get out or here.
Let's go! Go.
-[ Sobbing ]
-Go, go, go, go!
♪♪
Your intuition is telling you
just to get out of this house.
Whatever spirit was there was
really making itself known.
Still to this day,
I've never witnessed
anything like that before.
It was a scary feeling.
I've never been
scared doing this.
This is the only time
I've ever been scared.
NARRATOR: Though terrified,
Todd steels himself
to finish the investigation.
We got to go
back in.
He asks Jeff
to come with him.
My first thought was, "No way."
Everything in my whole
being was telling me,
"Don't go into the house."
Todd very much likes
to face things down.
He wants to know what happened.
And so I said,
"Okay, if you want to go back,
I will go back with you."
I was scared.
I was terrified.
But I sucked it up to
go back in there again
because this is what we do.
So we went back in there.
NARRATOR: Todd and Jeff
anxiously head back
to the parlor.
♪♪
We're not here
to hurt you.
We just want
to talk.
We start doing
an EVP session, and we say,
"We didn't mean
to make any harm.
We didn't come here
to disrespect anybody."
I don't know if you're
angry or don't want us here.
NARRATOR: But the spirit is
in no mood for talking.
At this point, the spirit
almost feels hostile.
We feel very uncomfortable
in that house.
And that's when
the footsteps started coming
towards us from
the back of the house
all the way to
the front of the house.
ADKINS: And that feeling was
extremely unwelcoming and scary.
♪♪
So at the top of the stairs,
there was a loud thump.
And then heavy footsteps
coming down the stairs
towards us to where we were at.
ADKINS: It became, honestly,
pretty frightening.
I felt pretty in danger.
♪♪
There, there!
BONNER:
I just couldn't hold myself.
♪♪
We both react at
the same time on the video.
Todd jumps off the couch,
I stand up.
Todd looked at me
right when it happened,
and I've never seen a look like
that on his face in my life.
Just complete fear.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
BONNER: And we did
hear a voice say, "Leave."
It was a gruff voice,
very unpleasant.
-Out! Out!
-Like someone with authority
telling you to leave.
Like, "We don't want
you here, leave."
ADKINS:
And that was apparent to us,
and with the fear that we felt,
we knew it was time to go.
Our natural instinct was,
you have to get out.
So I just got out.
We both ran out.
NARRATOR: After this
frightening encounter,
they end the investigation.
BONNER: I don't think we
could've took anymore, actually.
I was ready to go home.
Whatever's in that
house is very powerful,
very strong, and has
a lot of energy.
NARRATOR:
Todd's experience validates
what many others suspect.
That it is the spirit
of Carrie Jacobs Bond
that haunts the home.
BONNER: I think spirits, they
get attached to their house.
They're waiting
for their husband
or their child to come back.
-[ Screams ]
-Carrie Jacobs Bond might have
been just as scared as us.
So maybe that was their defense
mechanism to say, "Leave."
NARRATOR: The team agrees that
this is the most terrifying
investigation they have
ever been apart of.
We've been all over
the United States,
famous locations,
smaller locations.
I've never had this kind
of activity target us.
I did feel like I was in danger.
I think in my experience as
a paranormal investigator,
that is probably
the time I was most scared.
I've never been on
an investigation where
I was getting this kind of
fight or flight type feelings
so consistently and so often.
BONNER: And this is the most
haunted place I've ever been to.
I can say that for % sure.
What happened in
the Carrie Jacobs Bond house,
I had never experienced before.
NARRATOR: Despite all the
negativity they encountered,
Todd is open to going back.
BONNER: The place intrigues me.
I don't know if it's because
it scared me so much.
I would love to go back
and do it again,
but it depends if
I can force myself
to go back in that
house one more time.
