03x07 - The Wheatsheaf Horror

[bunniefuu]

Narrator: in this world,

There is real evil, in the

Darkest shadows and in the most

Ordinary places.

These are the true stories of

The innocent and the

Unimaginable.

Buried within an old english pub

Lies the dark secret of a brutal

Past.

When the staff tries to

Communicate with the dead, they

Unleash a powerful evil they

Cannot control.

With the help of spiritual

Mediums, they dig deeper to

Solve a century-old mystery,

Unaware their obsession for

Answers could end their lives.

Between the world we see, and

The things we fear, there are

Doors.

When they are opened...

Nightmares...

Become reality.

In northeastern england, small

Villages dot the landscape of

The tyne river valley,

Separating long stretches of

Moors and ancient forests.

For thousands of years, this

Land has hidden countless dark

Secrets, while other horrors lie

Near the surface, just waiting

To be discovered.

For nearly 200 years, the

Wheatsheaf pub has stood as a

Landmark in west boldon,

England.

All right, guys, time to

Lock up.

Narrator: in 2004, david guy

Bought the wheatsheaf and hired

A new staff.

It used to be a great pub.

It used to be the best pub in

Boldon.

But the pub was boarded up for

Seven months.

Nobody wanted to take it on.

Good night.

Not bad.

Narrator: since reopening,

Business has been good.

But david's staff has reported

Strange encounters in the pub.

Kamylah momat is the manager.

I always got the feeling

There was somebody watching us.

I've never been afraid, ever,

Until I worked in the

Wheatsheaf.

Look at this.

Who did this -- put a hand in my

Jelly?

I made this last night for the

Vodka shooters.

The fridge door was open, too.

There it is again.

Narrator: tim is a bartender.

He's heard customers describe

Paranormal experiences.

[ Humming ]

[ Chuckles ] hello.

[ Door opens ]

Narrator: at the

Wheatsheaf...

[ Thumping ]

...strange incidents seem to

Occur on a nightly basis.

[ Footsteps ]

You hear noises all the time,

Like just footsteps -- bang,

Bang, bang.

[ Banging ]

There's no one here but us.

We'll just have a look.

[ Banging ]

Anybody up here?

[ Door opens ]

[ Doorknob rattles ]

[ Door creaks ]

Anybody in here?

Narrator: david finds nothing

Upstairs.

Besides, even if it is

Haunted here, there's nothing to

Be scared of.

You never know.

Hey, now that you mention it,

How about a little game?

Come on.

What in the world?

You're joking?

Narrator: david shows them a

Ouija board he's made.

Have a seat, my love.

We'll get to the bottom of this

Mystery with a little bit of

Spiritual detective work.

Here.

I want to find out what's

Knocking around in my pub.

You go first.

It's not just me.

We all have to put our hands on

The glass, don't we?

All right, then.

Come on.

No room for me.

That's all right, I'll --

I'll -- I'll watch.

He's scared.

Is that it, you're scared?

Scared? Scared of what?

Paper and a couple whiskey

Glasses?

Never mind.

Six fingers is enough.

Now, what do we ask?

Hmm.

Ask who's been stomping

Around upstairs.

All right.

Spirits, tell us.

[ Chuckles ]

Who is walking the halls of

The old wheatsheaf pub?

Do it again.

Louder.

[ Chuckles ]

Is there a spirit in the old

Wheatsheaf pub?

Oh, it's moving.

I saw you move it.

I'm not moving it!

"G"...

"E"...

"T."

Get a piece of paper and a

Pen and write this down.

Hmm.

"Get."

All: "o"...

"U"...

"T."

"Get out"?

[ Thumping ]

[ Footsteps ]

Anybody up there?

The kitchen is closed.

I checked the washrooms.

Want me to go check?

No, don't take your hands off

The glass.

"G"...

All: "k"...

"I"...

"L"...

"L."

"Y"...

"O"...

"U."

"Get out or I'll k*ll you."

That's it. I'm done.

I'm going home.

Look.

It's moving by itself.

"H"...

"E"...

All: "l"...

"P"...

"M"..."E."

"Help me"?

Who are you?

It was actually spelling out,

"Please help me."

Just kept saying, "help me, help

Me, I'm trapped."

Who are you?

It's the ghost of the little

Girl -- the one the customer met

Upstairs -- the one who went

Into the kitchen and put her

Hand in the jelly.

How do you know?

I just feel it.

I know.

I'm sure it's her.

Narrator: the staff of the

Wheatsheaf tries to continue

With business as usual.

A few days later, david agrees

To host a fund-raiser.

Someone asked us to raise

Money for something.

The girls in the pub asked if we

Could have a psychic night.

£5 Will get you a

Consultation with one of our

Fabulous psychics.

All proceeds go to the

Children's cancer fund.

What's all this noise about?

Narrator: pub regular

Martin brown doesn't believe in

Psychics.

I remember laughing and

Carrying on with my friends.

How stupid can they get, you

Know, that this is how daft it

Was.

Narrator: lana grabinskis and

Suzanne hadwin are two spiritual

Mediums who donate their

Services to the cause.

Are you all right?

Narrator: suzanne senses a

Powerful negative presence in

The pub.

There's something not right

In here.

As I first walked through the

Doors of the wheatsheaf, I got

An emotion of anger -- anger

That I've never felt before in

My life.

Excuse me, are you taking

Readings?

Yes, of course.

Well, I'd like to know if --

If albert -- he's my sweetie...

Once I started doing the

Readings, I tried to put these

Emotions in the back of my mind.

...life-insurance money...

I had no just cause why I was

Feeling this way.

Narrator: a few hours later,

Suzanne remains troubled by the

Anger she sensed when she first

Entered the pub.

I just couldn't believe what

I was seeing.

You could see right through her.

[ Gasps ]

Please! He's coming!

I could see her fear in her

Eyes.

Who's coming?

[ Door slams ]

[ Sighs ]

Narrator: suzanne sees a

Vision of another time, nearly a

Century ago.

I could see the carpet, and I

Could see this little bed.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Please, mum.

Can you help me, please?

Are you still there?

The next minute, she was

Gone.

I was looking through a mirror

At my own reflection.

Narrator: later that night,

After the pub closes...

I hope you made a lot of

Money for the charity.

Do you know you've got a spirit

Upstairs?

[ Chuckles ]

I saw her in the hallway,

And -- and then in the washroom.

Did you know that room used to

Be a bedroom?

When she told us about the

Little girl here, I mean, that

Was so unreal.

I mean, it was only us who knew

About that.

She says, "do you mind us having

A walk around the pub?"

You're welcome to go explore

If you want.

Narrator: intrigued, suzanne

Decides to look again for the

Young girl.

[ Footsteps ]

I says...

Joseph.

I knew him.

Don't ask me why I knew him, but

I knew him.

Narrator: suzanne is

Bombarded by images from another

Time.

Nobody is going to hurt you.

Leave me alone!

Come on.

No, no, no, no!

[ Screams ]

And I could see her little

Body going down to the cellar,

Squealing, screaming.

She was only a poor, defenseless

Little soul.

[ Screaming ]

Narrator: a few nights later,

After closing...

Suzanne and lana return, hoping

To rescue the soul of the young

Girl, which suzanne believes is

Controlled by the spirit of a

Man named joseph.

They begin by cleansing the pub

To protect the group from

Dangerous spirits.

You're neutralizing the

Energies that are within the

Room.

You cleanse a heavy atmosphere.

Narrator: suzanne must again

Locate the spirit of the young

Girl to help her move on.

Because he would not have let

Me make that connection to the

Little girl.

Narrator: suzanne believes

That joseph's spirit is

Concentrated in the basement.

She hopes the staff's presence

Will distract him and keep him

There.

Suzanne uses salt to create a

Circle of protection.

Since ancient times, various

Cultures have believed that

Circles mark the boundary of a

Sacred area, keeping unwanted

Energies out.

What makes you think this

Joseph is here?

Do you think he's here right

Now?

Yes...he's here.

And your job is to keep him

Here.

Remember, stay inside the

Circle, and don't come upstairs

Until I call you.

This is insane.

This is totally insane.

This is your idea.

My idea?!

You started with the ouija

Board.

It was just a blasted game!

"St. Michael the archangel,

Defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the

Wickedness and snares of the

Devil.

May god rebuke him, we humbly

Pray."

Narrator: suzanne and lana

Begin to look for the spirit of

The young girl.

Suzanne starts in the room that

Was once the young girl's

Bedroom.

I always use an audiotape to

Capture sounds, to capture any

Energies in the room.

I think she's in here.

Narrator: suzanne hopes a

Doll will attract the young

Girl.

We mean you no harm.

Narrator: lana is a psychic

Artist.

When she makes contact with a

Spirit, she is able to create an

Image of it.

As a psychic artist, you pick

Up on their feelings and

Experiences that they've gone

Through.

[ Humming ]

Jessica.

I knew in my mind that this

Was her name.

What a lovely name.

What are you frightened of?

What happened to you?

[ Banging ]

You knew he was around you.

You didn't have to ask yourself

That question.

You knew he was around you.

That's joseph.

[ Screams ]

I got a vision of somebody

Putting her against the floor,

And she was terrified.

I was crying.

I was pleading them to stop it.

And they wouldn't.

They wouldn't stop.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Narrator: suzanne is now

Certain that joseph k*lled

Jessica.

Why was she condemned to

Death?

Why did they do it to her?

Jessica...

Where is your body?

I'm still here.

I couldn't believe what I was

Seeing.

My heart was aching for her.

I ran my fingers down the wall,

And I said, "she's in the wall."

"She's in the wall."

How long does she expect us

To stay down here?

There's nothi--

[ Gasps ]

What?

Kam, you're outside the circle.

It's like I felt something

Touch my face.

Get back in the circle.

Kam!

Hold her down.

Hold her down!

I couldn't control me legs.

I couldn't lift me head up.

The pain in me head was

Horrendous.

Are you all right?

[ Screaming ]

Kam!

Are you all right?

No.

She was attacked.

For god sakes, man.

We don't know what happened.

Something touched me.

Touched my face.

You'll be all right.

I know it's frightening.

I couldn't breathe.

I-i felt like I was suffocating.

Narrator: suzanne believes

That kamylah has been attacked

By joseph.

What? What is it?

Lana, would you get the tape

Recorder and leave me your

Drawings?

Of course.

Okay, take that.

We've made contact.

Her name is jessica.

She was m*rder*d here.

They hid her body in the wall

Upstairs.

She's just a girl.

What could she possibly have

Done?

I think you better listen to

This.

What is that?

Just listen.

I'm coming for you, suzanne.

I'm going to k*ll you, suzanne.

I felt terrified --

Absolutely terrified.

The girl is mine.

She will die.

But I knew I had to stand my

Ground, and I had to show him no

Fear.

We've got no choice.

We're going to help the girl.

But what about what he said

He would do?

No, we have to help her.

She's trapped in the spirit

World.

We must help her.

Watch my hand!

Narrator: that night, david

Reluctantly agrees to let his

Staff search for the remains of

The young girl.

Look.

There's a brick wall in there.

Well, what do you expect?

This blasted building must be

Several hundred years old.

My pub better be standing here

When I get back in the morning.

Just take it easy, all right?

Look at this.

It's a fireplace.

This is it.

She's in there.

Let's keep digging.

Narrator: they work through

The night.

I can't see anything.

What the hell have you done?

I wasn't happy at all.

The place was a mess, a total

Mess.

It's here.

It's what I saw in my vision.

What's this?

All of a sudden, somebody

Just reached in and pulled out a

Piece of concrete which

Contained some strands of hair.

Looks like a piece of bone.

When I held the remains of

Jessica in my hand...

I felt like a weight had been

Lifted.

I knew she was there.

We're almost there.

Please let me go!

It's her.

It's jessica.

There's no one here.

Did you see that?

What?

I-it was like a shadow, only

It wasn't.

Are you all right?

He's here, sitting at the

Table.

Narrator: with her second

Sight...

Suzanne sees what others cannot.

[ Giggling ]

What did you do to her?

Why did you k*ll her?

What did you do to her?

Tell me, why did you k*ll her?

She got in my way!

And if you get in my way...

You'll die, too.

We don't have much time.

He's growing stronger.

What the hell have you done?

Narrator: at a local library,

Suzanne and a wheatsheaf

Bartender look for clues to

Joseph's identity.

I had to find out where

Joseph's from...

Times and dates that linked him

To this pub...

Find out what happened.

Hey, there's the pub.

Narrator: in a book about

Boldon's history, she discovers

A photograph of a man who looks

Like joseph.

That's him!

Oh, wow.

See if there's more.

Is there more?

Narrator: and in a photo of a

Sunday school class, suzanne

Finds a young girl she believes

Is jessica.

That's jessica?

That's jessica.

I felt successful that I came

Up with all the evidence that

Was there.

Narrator: the pub is peaceful

For several days.

Even regular customers like

Martin are unaware the place is

Haunted.

I've never heard anything

About the bar being haunted.

It's a bit off the wall, to say

The least.

[ Glass shatters ]

Are you okay?

You all right?

Yeah.

Just a bit jumpy, I guess.

Where's brian tonight?

Hello.

Do you see that?

I saw it move, and then it just

Flew off the bloody wall!

That could have k*lled you.

It could have crushed your

Skull.

Things weren't getting any

Better.

We knew there was going to be

Some sort of showdown.

Narrator: a few hours later,

At a house in a nearby town...

I'd had a vision, and I saw

Him -- david -- being pushed

Down the stairs.

[ Dialing ]

[ Telephone ringing ]

Hello?

David, is that you?

Yes. Who is this?

Oh, thank god.

This is lana.

I was so worried about you.

I just had a premonition.

Do you know what time it is?

Isn't it late for premonitions?

Listen, david, I'm not

Joking.

She asked us about me house.

She says, "david, I've had a

Vision that you're going to have

A nasty accident on your stairs.

And it's going to be joseph

That's going to push you."

And, I mean, lana has never been

At my house.

I see.

Well...

Thanks for the warning.

He was constantly threatening

Us.

Obviously, I was a bit worried

About it.

Energies were building up,

And things were getting worse

For various people working

Within the pub, and we decided

That we've got to sort of put

This to rest.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Narrator: one night,

Martin brown wanders upstairs.

All: hi, martin.

All right, martin.

Come on, now.

If you want to find her...

Look for the green paint.

Find her?

How do you know?

The little girl --

She's buried...

Behind the green bricks.

I went cold.

I just froze.

The girl is mine!

Narrator: lana makes a circle

Of salt around martin to protect

The staff.

I still don't understand why

You're doing all this.

Joseph is inside you.

Who?

Narrator: suzanne will

Attempt to draw joseph out of

Martin.

Joseph, I know you're in

There.

When I addressed martin as

"Joseph"...

He just looked and glared at me.

I was terrified.

He just looked so evil.

...the archangel, defend

Us...

Your pathetic rituals will

Have no effect.

All: ...we humbly pray, by

The power of god, thrust into

Hell satan and all evil spirits

Who wander through this world

For the ruins of souls.

Amen.

You will leave his body, and

You will go where god commands

You!

You filthy wench!

Then I got the visions...

Of this woman being slaughtered.

So it all made sense.

I knew she had seen something,

And that's why it cost her...

Her little life.

Narrator: suzanne believes

She has guardian angels or

Spirit guides that protect and

Advise her.

She will need them to draw

Joseph from martin's body, as

Well as a pendulum or dowser.

All: st. Michael, the

Archangel, defend us in battle.

May god rebuke him, we humbly

Pray.

And do thou...

I asked my guides to pull his

Energy away from martin and push

It right through my body into

This crystal.

Joseph, I draw you into this

Dowser.

No!

I won't go!

No!

Leave!

I command you to leave now!

No!

Narrator: the pendulum moves

Faster.

Suzanne steadily draws joseph's

Energy into its center.

The crystal started to spin

And spin and spin and spin, and

I could feel the energies

Drawing closer towards the

Crystal.

Our father, who art in

Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done.

Give us this day our daily

Bread, and forgive us our

Trespasses as we forgive those

Who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation, but

Deliver us from evil!

Amen!

Aah!

Aah!

She said, "are you all

Right?"

I says I was fine.

Is he gone?

Did it work?

I know nothing, absolutely

Nothing of what went on.

It was like you were

Possessed.

Were you scared?

The last thing I remember is

Going upstairs, going into that

Room and seeing the fireplace.

And then nothing.

Narrator: martin retains a

Mysterious awareness of the

Spirit that possessed him.

His name was joseph.

He was a barman.

He had preyed on innocent

Families.

He actually made money out of

Prostitution.

How I know these things, I do

Not know.

It's left us with quite a --

Memories which aren't mine.

Narrator: now that joseph is

Gone, suzanne believes jessica's

Spirit has finally found peace.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

A strong drink -- fill it up.

It was really strange, but it

Was a lot lighter than what it

Had been.

You know what?

You're not gonna have whiskey.

People were starting to laugh

And joke again.

I've been communicating

With spirits since far back as I

Can remember.

I've never experienced anything

Like it in my life.

He could have took my life

Easily, the click of his

Fingers.

And I really admire suzanne

And lana for their dedication.

I find it remarkable that they,

You know, face an issue that not

Many of us understand, you know?

Thank you so much for all the

Work you've done.

Believe what you want.

End of the day, you've got to

Either believe or you don't.

It makes us think, "well,

There's more."

Because at one time, I used to

Think, "is there?"

But now I know...

Aah!

...there is.
