After a father
passes away at home...
I can't believe he's gone.
Yeah, we miss him, too.
His son begins to change.
Is it grief?
Dad, you got to eat.
Why can't you two
just leave me alone?!
My dad was not himself at all.
Or is it a demonic
force after his soul?
As soon as
I stepped in the door,
I felt the very evilness of
what was going on in there.
m*rder.
There was something trying
to tell me to m*rder my kids.
It's horrible.
In america, there is real evil.
It lurks in the darkest shadows
And in our most ordinary towns.
Between the worlds we see...
Someone's in my room.
And the things we fear...
There are doors,
when they are open...
Nightmares become reality.
Dad?
Deep in the wisconsin woods
Lies a remote cabin,
Home to a divorced father
of four and his dad.
My family owns a cabin
that's just a beautiful place.
My father purchased
the land February 17th of 1986,
And I've been
living there constantly
For the past 10 years.
But in the summer
of 2012, everything changes
When phil's father suddenly
passes away in the house.
When my father passed away,
Depression came in immediately.
My father and I have always
had a close relationship.
If I needed him, he was there,
and if he needed me,
I was there for him always,
all the way to the end.
My dad always made time for me
when it came to doing stuff,
And one of my most
fondest memories
Was always playing
catch in the backyard.
My father was always
in really good health,
And they found something
in his lungs... lung cancer.
And they said that he would
live two to six months.
He lived two months
and five days.
I lost my best friend.
It was very hard,
not just for myself
But for my entire family,
Because we're so
tight as a family.
Hey, dad, victoria
and I are gonna...
My gosh, where
did you find that?
Dad?
Hi, girls.
What time is it?
It's almost 3:00.
Is that you and grandpa?
You guys look so young.
It was a long time ago.
When my grandpa got sick,
It was really hard because
I knew he was gonna die,
But I wasn't prepared.
It was super hard for
everyone in the family,
Especially my dad.
He fell into
a really deep depression.
I still can't believe he's gone.
The house doesn't seem
the same without him.
It was a totally,
completely different man.
My sisters and I were
worried about him.
Yeah, we miss him, too.
Every day.
Oh, what's the matter with me?
Let me help you.
We got it. It's the last load.
I decided to move in
with my dad to help him
When he was going through
the hardest time of his life.
I was happy that
hilary moved in with dad.
It did give a sense of relief.
Like I know he's gonna be okay
'cause he has her to lean on.
He ate too much honey.
Oh, no.
When my daughter,
hilary moved in,
She brought her son, gavin.
Hey, you want to see grandpa
when he was little?
Right there, look.
Unconditional love when
I needed it the most.
A few days after moving in,
While home alone,
hilary continues to settle in
To her grandfather's bedroom.
I moved all my stuff,
Mine and my son's stuff
into his old room.
It was nice being in that room
And having some of his stuff
still there to remind me of him.
It was just like my grandpa
was still there.
It was very comforting.
I heard three loud footsteps.
Dad, is that you?
Dad?
And then I heard something
out in the living room area.
Hello?
Hello?
Dad?
Geez, you scared me.
I thought you were at work.
I got off early.
Everything okay?
Uh, yeah, just I thought
I heard someone.
Kind of brushed it off,
thought it was the house
Making noises,
'cause it always makes noises.
How's my boy?
Still asleep.
Well, you'd better wake him up.
He won't sleep tonight.
oh, tell him grandpa's
Making chili.
It's now been three weeks
Since phil sr. Passed away.
The family are slowly adjusting
to their new life together.
I was working two jobs at
the time, being a single mom,
And my dad would stay home
and watch gavin for me,
While I'd go to work.
So we made our
schedules work together
When it was just
the three of us.
All of a sudden,
I knew I wasn't alone there.
And I could feel it.
Phil pritchard suspects
His wisconsin home is haunted.
Out of the corner of
my eye, I seen a dark shadow,
And I thought to myself,
"did I really just see that?"
I knew I wasn't alone.
There was something
else in the house
Besides me and my daughter
and her child.
Dad? You're up early.
Have you been down
here all night?
I couldn't sleep.
Sit down.
I need to tell you something.
Dad, is everything okay?
Is gavin okay?
Gavin's fine. Sit down.
Okay, you're scaring me.
Remember when you said
that you heard
Something in the house?
I heard something,
and I saw something.
Although phil is
spooked by his experience,
He is convinced it's
the spirit of his father
Who passed away in the house.
I know it sounds crazy,
But I think he was trying to
tell us everything's okay.
I just thought it
was my dad's spirit
Trying to communicate with me.
To me, it did make sense
'cause the noises I had
Been hearing, that's what made
me think that it was my grandpa.
It's like I felt him.
It brought me comfort
knowing that my dad
Came to check on me to
make sure I was okay, too.
"a little old man
and a little old lady
Lived on a little farm.
They decided to start a garden.
They planted cabbage seeds
And pumpkin seeds
and tomato seeds.
My son had this fire truck toy
That he always played with.
He loved to play
with that thing.
Just one day...
It went off, and it was weird
'cause it had never
done that before.
And then it goes off again.
We were like, "what's going on?"
Gavin is over here.
There's no way he could
touch that toy.
This kept happening
over and over,
So I took the batteries out
so it couldn't work.
I thought it was
maybe my grandpa
Trying to contact my son
And make a sign for us
to notice that he was there.
Dad?
I was in my room,
and it didn't feel like my room.
I started to feel, like,
the atmosphere changing.
And then I started feeling
like someone was behind me.
It was a man with a hat on.
I had just gone to bed.
I was laying down
ready to fall asleep.
There was like light whispers
That kept getting
louder and louder.
Hilary!
Phil pritchard is
being terrorized
By an unknown
entity in his home.
And I started dreading
for my safety,
Not just mine,
but my family in the house.
Hilary!
Hilary!
When I did wake up and
realized that it was a dream,
I was like, "thank god,"
'cause it felt so real.
He was actually in
my room with me.
It didn't feel like a dream
when it was happening to me.
mommy.
Oh, baby.
Baby, it's okay.
Hilary!
Oh, my god, hilary,
are you okay?
Oh! What is it?
Oh, my leg!
It's burning.
Oh, my god!
Oh, honey. Dad!
There's a scratch on my leg.
Three scratch marks.
Hilary, what happened?
I was in the woods,
and I was being chased
By this man in this crazy hat,
And I know it sounds insane,
dad, but it was so real.
No, honey.
I saw him, too.
What?
At this point,
I knew it wasn't my father
because it was dark.
I'm sorry.
Whatever was in
my home was evil.
Fearing for gavin's safety,
Hilary sends her son
to stay with relatives.
I can't protect him.
I felt hopeless.
And that was hard,
to send him away,
But I knew it was
the right thing to do.
I decided not to leave the house
because my dad did need me.
In the meantime,
phil goes searching for answers.
I wanted to figure
out what was going on,
So I started talking
to my neighbor.
Phil!
Listen, I've been
meaning to drop by.
Real broke up about your pops.
Thank you. He was a good man.
Uh, you got something
on your mind there, phil?
Sorry.
I know your family's
been here a long time.
Uh, yeah, we have,
But where are you
going with this?
My dad's house, uh,
anything strange ever
Happen out there
before my dad moved in?
I asked him if he knew of people
That died on the property
or around the property,
And he grew up there
his entire life.
Back when I was a boy,
used to be the hanbury place.
He was a farmer.
They had two girls.
And I heard he was
a real nice fella.
But one day he just turned,
sent the missus
And the kids away,
locked himself in the house,
And well, before you know it,
He lit the place on fire.
He said, "yes, martin hanbury
had passed away."
By the time those
fire engines got here,
There was nothing
but smoke and ash.
Burned the place to the ground.
Hanbury with it.
You okay?
Thank you, clay.
Learning this news,
it made it more real.
I thought it was martin hanbury
that was haunting the house.
We didn't know what to do.
We had to stay at the house.
We didn't have
anywhere else to go.
We didn't have the money
to just get up and move,
And we didn't want to.
This was our home.
That's where we had all
of our good memories,
And we weren't just gonna
get up and walk away.
My dad was really angry
And just not himself at all.
He just stayed to himself.
Dad?
I was very worried about him.
Don't do that.
Oh, my god.
You scared me to death,
I thought you were asleep.
Leave me alone.
Dad, it's 3:00 a.M.
Come on, it's time to go to bed.
I said leave me alone!
Okay.
Hilary started getting
really scared in the house.
She didn't want to be alone,
So she would call me,
and I would come over.
I'll grab the salad.
Hey, dad,
dinner's ready. Come sit.
No.
Dad, you got to eat.
Why can't you two
just leave me alone?
My dad's personality
started changing.
Hey, are you okay?
What's going on with you?
Nothing!
He became more agitated
And angry.
Fine.
If it'll make you happy,
let's eat.
My dad had been grieving,
But this was different,
Like, before he was just sad,
And this was a different
kind of anger
Than his regular when he
gets mad at something.
This was different.
So you remember julie
from next door?
She wants me to watch her dog,
- Which, it's just crazy.
- How long?
I don't know, for like a week,
When she's on vacation.
What kind?
It's those little like
small, yappy terrier dogs.
Oh, I hate those things. Right.
I just don't want to do it.
Like, dad, you know
what I'm talking about.
Like little yap,
yap, yap, yap, yap.
Like, a whole week of that?
That's crazy.
And I'm just like,
"I really don't want to
Watch you dog for,
like, a whole week."
I just don't want to do it.
m*rder.
m*rder.
I heard the word "m*rder"
like right next to my head.
m*rder...
Right in my ear.
m*rder.
These weren't my thoughts.
Dad?
Dad, are you okay?
Dad?
Dad?
I knew it was something
else outside of myself
That was trying to control me...
Dad?
Dad?
Trying to tell me to m*rder.
m*rder.
A demonic voice is
telling phil pritchard
To m*rder his children.
It was not my thought.
m*rder.
It was something trying to
implant something into my head.
m*rder!
Dad, are you okay?
It wanted me to physically hurt
The people that
I loved the most.
Dad!
It wanted me to m*rder my kids.
Dad?
Dad, what's going on? Dad?!
And that's when I took
action by leaving.
I had to leave,
Had to leave.
Dad?
- Dad?
- Where are you going?
Please talk to us.
Something's happening to me.
I keep hearing things.
Voices, whispers.
Telling me to do things.
What kind of things?
Bad things.
To you.
To both of you.
He was ashamed to
tell us what he heard.
That's ridiculous.
You would never do that.
I want to believe it.
But this house,
It's in my head,
it's trying to control me.
He told us that he
was having thoughts
And hearing voices
and having visions
About murdering us, k*lling us.
I'm just so scared.
The words that he was hearing,
He knew it wasn't his voice.
He knew it was something else.
We are not living
like this anymore.
We're gonna do something.
We're gonna get help.
Even though I was
fearing for my life,
I was also fearing for his,
'cause I knew that
That wasn't him
that was thinking that way.
I hadn't seen the real him
in like weeks.
I was wondering if this thing
was going to take over my dad.
This was the last straw.
I had to do something.
The pritchard family contacts
A local investigative team,
Paranormal encounters,
wisconsin.
I needed help in the worst way.
I needed this to stop,
And I needed it
to stop right now.
Okay, all good,
and we're rolling.
This is paranormal
encounters, wisconsin
And we're here investigating
a property in the dells area.
My name is art davenport.
I'm the lead investigator
Of paranormal encounters,
wisconsin.
My name is nancy frank.
Being a medium,
I have the ability
To feel, hear, and see
spirits around me.
My name is mike brey.
I am the cameraman, tech man.
I've been an investigator with
this team for eight years.
Phil pritchard contacted
me extremely upset
About the activity
going on in his home.
Well, it sounds like
classic oppression.
Whatever's going on
spiritually in the home
Can actually affect
the mental state
Of the people that
are living there.
- Or he's just crazy.
- Yeah.
that was my first thought.
But after speaking with him,
I don't know, there was...
I could hear something
in his voice.
Something is here.
Oh, there they are.
It could be paranormal
spirits or some entity's
Actually trying to
break the person
Spiritually, emotionally down.
You must be phil.
Yes. This is my daughter hilary.
It's a pleasure.
We're so glad you came.
We... we don't know
what else to do.
Well, you did the right thing
'cause we're here to help you.
The family seemed to
be really desperate
On how they needed
to take care of this.
- Come in, please.
- Sure.
After nancy came
and art and mike came,
I knew that we were
no longer alone
And that they could help us
figure out what was going on.
We're almost ready.
Using night vision camera
And sound recording devices,
The team conducts a walk through
of the house.
Here we go.
Are you ready?
Ready.
We are beginning to do
a walk through of the house.
I felt it.
I felt the very evilness of
what was going on in there.
There's something here.
It's so bad in here.
I can feel it.
Who are you?
Why are you here?
Anything?
Anything?
Tell us your name!
- Did you hear that?
- Yes.
Something's there.
I can't make it out.
Let me slow it down,
enhance it a bit.
We heard the name hanbury.
It sounded like
an angry man's voice.
Hanbury.
That's... that's him.
After hearing the name hanbury,
I knew I really needed
More information on him,
so I just concentrated on him.
What did you want from me?!
It was like in a flash,
I saw martin hanbury.
Hello?
His demeanor was crazy-like.
m*rder, m*rder!
He was hearing voices telling
him to k*ll his family.
"you have to do this."
m*rder.
And then all of a sudden,
I see him throwing a match.
And he's standing there
watching his house burn,
Knowing his family is
safe somewhere else.
And then I saw
martin with a g*n,
But I knew it wasn't him.
Psychic medium nancy frank
Is having a traumatic vision
Of the entity haunting
the pritchard home.
As I was seeing
all this in my mind,
It made me so sad
That a demon can
control a person
Enough to have him
want to k*ll himself.
This demon was haunting him,
Putting these
voices in his head,
Telling him to
m*rder his family.
- m*rder!
- It was constant.
"m*rder 'em, m*rder 'em."
Making him go crazy.
Martin couldn't
handle it anymore,
So he k*lled himself
to protect his family.
Nancy has just seen what's
haunting your house.
It's not your father, phil,
And it's not martin hanbury.
Then what is it?
It's a demon, and it's
attached to this land.
Nancy explained to
us immediately that
Phil was seeing who he
thought was hanbury
Was actually this demon
trying to influence him,
Just as he did to martin.
I really started to
pick up on this demon,
And I knew he had been
there for a long, long time.
But he would lay there and wait
For the next family to
move on to the property.
Martin wasn't a bad guy.
He was a good family man.
He worked hard.
He had two children.
They were young children.
His wife was a loving wife
and a good mother.
Martin loved them very much.
We strongly feel that
this entity, this demon,
Had been on the property
since ancient times.
It just took phil's grief
to open that doorway
For it to come
through yet again.
It attaches itself to
the people who live here
And forces them
to do evil things.
We believe it was trying
to do the same thing with you.
You were grieving
the loss of your father.
You were vulnerable.
The demon used that
to come into your life.
I really believe in
my heart of hearts
That this demon wanted me
to do the exact same thing.
Either take out myself
or k*ll one of my kids
Or both of 'em that were there.
So, what do we do?
Well, we're gonna help you.
We just need to do
a cleansing of your home.
We knew then a cleansing
had to be performed.
It was trying to take phil's
life or his family's life.
Whatever needs to be done.
I told phil
that I can't have you
In the house
while I'm cleansing.
I sat him on a picnic table,
And I poured sea salt
in a circle around him
And asked him not to
leave that circle.
I was just hoping for
a miracle at that point.
I was just ready for everything
to be over with and done
And just hoping and praying
that it would work.
Give us your protection.
Restore the peace to this
home and this family.
When I cleanse a home,
I use sage, I use holy water.
Bring light.
And I use oil.
Back to this house
and this family.
As I'm walking
through the house,
I could feel vibrations
in the windows
And feeling in my body
a tightness in my chest.
And sometimes,
as I'm saying my prayers,
The words aren't coming out.
Stay strong. Don't waver.
I can see mike is pale,
and art just looks horrible.
Restore the light, restore
the warmth, restore the peace
To this home and this family.
Leave this house.
Nancy realized the demon
was trying to affect me
Because I was feeling
lethargic, nauseous,
Dizzy, like a fog took over me.
I can feel the fighting
coming on each step we took.
God, we banish
the evil from this home.
In the name of god,
I command you to leave now!
In the name of god,
you may not stay here.
This is not your home!
We knew that the demon was there
And it was trying
to push us out.
We all instantly
had headaches or felt sick.
And then I looked up.
And I saw it.
It was the demon.
Nancy!
I heard the g*n go off.
It was so loud.
Nancy, are you okay?
I thought I was gonna die.
Psychic medium nancy frank
Has been battling a demonic
force in the pritchard home.
Nancy?
Nancy, are you okay?
When the b*llet hit me,
it was so painful that I just
Instantly fell to my knees
and I grabbed my head.
Nancy, are you okay?
Nancy fell to her knees
with tears in her eyes
Holding her head like she had
felt the actual g*nsh*t.
I thought I was shot.
I thought I was gonna die.
The feeling was so intense.
The demon was there,
and he was trying to scare me.
And I had to get up on my feet
And show him I wasn't
afraid of him.
He needs to be afraid of me.
Stay strong. I need you
to pray with me now!
In the name of god, you must
leave this place now!
Demon, begone!
You are not welcome here.
You must leave this place.
I pray that you will
leave this place!
That atmosphere
was very intense.
But it just made you want to
Battle the demon even more
so he would leave.
You are not welcome
in this place!
I'm screaming at him,
and I'm like,
"you're not allowed
here anymore!"
And he's fighting me.
And I just kept
pushing and pushing.
In the name of god, I command
you to leave this house now!
With my last push,
it was like a release.
He was gone.
Wait!
What is that?
Is that him?
Is the demon still here?
No, it's martin.
I knew that martin hanbury
was still there.
He was sad.
He was afraid to cross over
because he thought
He would be punished
for committing suicide.
Martin, you can cross over.
It's okay.
I let him know that he could
Cross over and be
with his family.
Cross over now.
Go be with your family.
Just kind of nodded.
And he was gone.
Oh, come on in.
Uh, is it safe?
It is.
Yes.
Yeah, it feels different.
The atmosphere in
the house was light.
The feeling in the whole house
And on the property was lifted.
Everything was lighter.
I didn't feel oppressed anymore.
I can't thank you enough.
Thank you.
You are so welcome.
Take care.
Thank you.
You guys take care.
After the cleansing, the house
feels really safe again.
It feels like home again.
I feel like I got
my dad back in that moment.
We're gonna be okay.
Going through all
this was very hard,
And it was a tough battle.
But we came through it
on the other side.
Give it a whack!
Nice!
Yay, refreshments.
Everything is going
very good in my life
And in my children's lives.
- He's good.
- Good?
He's better than I was.
Everybody's stronger
from going through this.
Since all this has happened,
my life has been great.
I just fear that it can happen
again at any moment.
I live with that fear every day.
I will never be the same
from this experience.
It changes you.
Once you live this, you don't
have a choice but to believe.
