[Amy] There's this woman
in here, she's getting
att*cked regularly.
So much fear with this person.
Very scared.
I've been afraid
for my life here.
I've woken up many,
many times being strangled.
One's, like, on her face,
one's, like, on her chest.
They're very aggressive.
Any idea how many casualties?
It was a bloodbath.
I saw them holding them down
and assaulting this person.
[sobbing]
[Amy] I am pretty worried
about the living here.
It wants the person dead.
My name is Amy Allan.
I see dead people.
I saw a winged creature.
I speak to dead people
and they speak to me.
This person feels
like a monster.
But there's only one way to
know if my findings are real.
They are sucking the life
out of these people.
I rely on my partner.
I'm Steve DiSchiavi.
I'm a retired New York City
homicide detective.
So how many bodies
are we talking?
And I know every person,
every house has secrets.
It's my job to reveal them.
But Steve and I never speak.
We never communicate
during an investigation.
Until the very end.
[gasps]
-You're not
gonna like this.
-[sobs]
When we uncover if it's
safe for you to stay...
[crying] I'm sorry,
I need to take a break.
Or time to get out.
It wants inside the house
because it wants to k*ll you.
[gasps]
[Steve] So I'm in
Port Orchard, Washington,
it's a small, quaint town.
It's about a -minute
ferry ride from Seattle,
or you can just
drive it like I did.
Takes about an hour.
A desperate woman
named Caprice called.
Says there's
something evil
in her house
and it's going after her
and her -month-old
granddaughter.
The spiritual activity
in our house has reached
a level of v*olence that is
completely unspeakable.
I can no longer protect myself
or my family.
And the last person I want
to be k*lled or injured
is my granddaughter, Chloe.
[Steve] Whenever
a child is involved,
it gets my attention.
One way or another, we have
to help this family out.
[Amy] Oh, God.
Oh, God. This is bad.
I don't like this house.
I'm feeling this woman
crying in here.
I believe she's alive.
I'm worried about
this young female,
because I think there are
negative thoughts going on.
Like she feels trapped,
and she feels tortured
and tormented,
and she feels like nobody's
going to protect her.
Nobody's protecting her.
[Steve] I gotta tell you,
driving up here,
this is a beautiful
neighborhood.
But when we spoke
on the phone
you sounded terrified.
What the hell's going on here?
Uh... Um,
unfortunately too much.
We specifically found
this house to have my whole
family together, safe.
And instead I feel like I
brought them straight to Hell.
Okay. Who all lives
in the house now?
Four generations of women.
This is Jordi,
my -year-old daughter.
This is Chloe,
who was one at the time,
she's turning two soon.
And this is my
-year-old daughter, Tessah,
and then my mom.
What all's going on?
Who's getting
targeted the most?
Definitely myself
and my baby
granddaughter.
Okay.
It's gotta be scary
with the baby. I mean...
-Yes.
-What happened?
The hard part
is she can't tell us
what's going on.
So one night I was taking
her to the bedroom
and there was a human
bitemark on her stomach.
Okay. So, you know,
whatever's here,
if it's going after
somebody that tiny
and it can do that kind
of damage, it's a problem.
It's a big problem.
I'm terrified for her.
All right, so, Caprice, do me
a favor and give me a list
of what you guys
are experiencing here.
[Caprice] Shadow figures,
mood swings,
night terrors, for sure.
And physical att*cks.
Let's get into
the mood swings,
what are we talking about?
In the last six months,
very violent mood swings.
To the point where
a normal conversation,
say, between my older
daughter and I,
will turn into
a knock-down,
drag-out fight.
Are you only
experiencing rage,
as far as mood swings goes?
No. I would say,
now depression
or sadness.
Okay. When you guys are away
from here, how are you?
Peaceful, happy, nobody's
at each other's throats.
You're thoroughly convinced
it's a paranormal
doing this to you?
Yeah. I'm thoroughly
convinced.
What do you think
whatever's here wants?
I think the end result
is it wants to k*ll us.
[Amy] I'm just hearing
people, like, fighting.
So these are the living
people fighting,
there's a lot of
fighting going on.
I believe there's,
like, two females.
One female is more
just devastated.
Just...
feeling not protected,
not safe.
The other female feels
very frustrated.
Living people fighting.
Oh, my goodness.
[Steve] Okay, so what's
going on in here?
For starters,
I have really
terrible nightmares.
Okay,
if you can remember them,
describe what's going on.
Usually, it's something
or someone chasing me
as I'm collecting up
my children and
my grandchild
and try to get out of
the house before it gets us.
What is getting you?
Something very, very ugly,
creepy, demonic-looking.
And how often are you
having these dreams?
Several times a week.
Okay. All right.
[Amy] What the [bleep]?
This person's looking
out the door
and seeing these two little
things, like, floating in.
Maybe feet tall?
Like, maybe feet tall?
What the [bleep]
are these things?
These things are giving
the living nightmares.
They honestly just look like
little shadowy things.
I can definitely make
out arms, though.
But I can't like
make them out,
they're, like,
completely in shadow.
But these two things
are not good.
[Steve] All right, so
what else is going on in here?
I go to bed,
and I'm perfectly fine.
Take a shower before bed,
wake up the next morning
and I have huge bruises,
scratches and burns
on my legs,
on my back,
places I can't reach.
And what do they look like?
There you go.
Wow. Is that a burn
or a bruise?
It is-- It's what they
thought was a chemical burn
and a bruise.
It was very painful.
-They ever figure out
what it was?
-No.
What else is going on?
I've woken up many,
many times being strangled.
-So--
-Does it feel like
hands choking you?
It does, but the weird
thing is, is it's cold.
What's touching me is cold.
That's scary. Any other
physical att*cks going on?
There's physical as*ault
that's... hard to talk about,
That's essentially
every woman's nightmare.
Can you describe
how an att*ck happens?
The first one that I recall
that was really vivid,
I was asleep on this
side of the bed.
I was on my back.
And something grabbed my right
shoulder that had claws to it,
and in one fell swoop,
flipped me over, face-first.
That particular scenario has
happened at least ten times.
All right, so basically
you're getting sexually
assaulted in bed.
-Yeah.
-By something
you can't see.
It isn't just sexual as*ault.
It's violent
and extremely painful.
Whatever's here,
that was it exerting its
complete dominance.
I gotta ask you why
you haven't ran out
of this place and
just never looked back?
[voice breaking]
I've wanted to.
I know.
I want to.
[sniffles]
But I have my whole family
counting on me.
I mean, I found this house,
I brought everybody here.
And that's why I think
it's attacking me.
And I'm hoping that
I'm the only one it's
attacking like that,
because I couldn't live
with myself if it did that
to somebody else.
[Amy] There's this woman
in here, she's getting
att*cked regularly.
And it's from
these two little things.
She's having, like,
ugly nightmares,
sleep paralysis.
So she's laying down
and these things
are on her.
One's, like, on her face,
one's, like, on her chest,
forcing her down,
so she can't even
like sit up or anything.
They're very aggressive.
Having these things
att*ck her, also then
staying awake,
trying not to fall asleep,
because she's scared.
So much fear with this person.
Lots of fear. Very scared.
Mmm-hmm.
[Matthew]
So what's the worst thing
it might be able to do?
[Amy] Drive people crazy.
[Steve] Jordi, talking
to your mom earlier,
I gotta tell you,
I'm really concerned about
what's going on in this house.
-This is out
of control.
-Yeah.
She also told me that you guys
are at each other's throats
to the point where
it's getting crazy.
-Is that right?
-[sighs]
Yeah, unfortunately.
We've never been like this.
There has been such
a change in my mom that,
like, I've never seen.
I've grabbed her
by the shoulders
while she's in this rage
and, like, her eyes
are literally black.
So, one of the big reasons
that I took this case
is because...
sounds like whatever
she has is going after
your less than two-year-old
daughter, Chloe.
-Your mom is convinced
she's in danger here.
-Mmm-hmm.
-Do you feel
the same way?
-I do.
Can you tell me
about an experience
that's made you worry
about Chloe?
The worst would be
I was carrying my daughter
down the staircase
and I was pushed from behind.
Tell me what happened.
So, I got pushed so hard
that I cleared the first
set of stairs and landed
with one knee down,
kind of like to the side.
I had even rolled with her,
but she was fine.
That was a lucky...
Yeah.
That you didn't get k*lled,
or something happened
to the baby.
All right,
so what else
is going on?
Well, I've been waking up
with strange marks on my body.
Puncture marks and bruises.
I do know that when you have
a low white blood cell count,
-you get bruises.
-Yeah.
So, is that a possibility
that's what it is?
So, I checked that as well,
my labs were normal.
Well, your mother
thinks whatever's here
wants to k*ll someone.
I've been afraid
for my life here.
But it's one thing
to mess with me,
but when you're messing
with my child, it's hard.
[Amy] These things
are interacting with
the person in the bed.
And I believe it's physical.
I don't know if they've
been hit on their back
or pushed or what,
but they've definitely
had issues with things...
You know,
with feeling things
on their back.
But they are being like,
physically [bleep] with,
that's not good.
So, Tessah, I talked to your
mom and your sister, Jordi.
I mean, this place
is out of control.
Yeah.
Your mom thinks whatever's
here is pretty dangerous.
I mean, you agree with that?
Yeah, I believe that.
Tessah, what experiences
are you having here?
I have seen shadow figures
in various places
around the house.
Okay, so where have
you seen these?
In the living room,
in my bedroom.
One in particular
got me very emotional.
Out of nowhere
I was bawling
my eyes out.
Two minutes later
I felt perfectly fine.
Okay, so anything else?
One night I was sitting
in my bed doing homework
and, all of a sudden,
my bed started shaking
really violently,
like somebody
had grabbed
the bedframe,
but nothing else
in my room was shaking.
We're in Washington, could
it have been an earthquake?
I go on my phone,
checked the earthquake
map or whatever,
make sure it's not
an aftershock
-from a different
earthquake...
-Right.
-Nothing.
-Okay,
so you basically
researched and saw that
it couldn't have happened,
-as far as
earthquakes go.
-No.
This is a pretty serious case.
That's why I don't understand
why youse is still here.
This has been my mom's dream
since I was a little girl.
I don't wanna see
your mom's dream get crushed,
so hopefully we'll figure out
what the hell's going
on and how to fix it.
[Amy] Those little
floaty shadow things
come in here too.
[Matthew] Is it the same two?
I'd say there's
about five of them.
[Matthew]
They were all together?
They don't
all huddle together, no.
Feeling something on the bed,
something jumping
around the bed.
Living person's crying,
'cause these things
are jumping around the bed.
So, are those things,
like, tricksters?
They're definitely tricksters,
okay, okay.
Very draining energy,
like both from the [bleep]
little trickster guys,
but the living's
energy in there
is like a [bleep] nightmare.
They're definitely feeding
into the whole [bleep] thing.
And that's just bad.
[Steve] I was driving around
Caprice's neighborhood
and drove right
by a huge casino.
Turns out it's run by a tribe
that's native to the area.
I'm on my way to meet
a local historian
who says the Suquamish
suffered a lot
of deaths here.
But it wasn't all
at the hands
of the settlers.
Well, Josh,
thanks for meeting me,
I appreciate that.
So, before we get
to the bad time
these people had,
what do we know about
the Suquamish tribe?
Well, the Suquamish tribe were
really an incredible people.
Go back thousands
of years here,
one of the most powerful
leaders of the Suquamish
was Chief Kitsap.
In fact, the county
that you're standing in
right now is named for him.
On the phone you mentioned
that the Suquamish tribe
had a tough time but it wasn't
from settlers in this case.
What happened?
In the s, Kitsap
and the Suquamish
faced a problem from what's
known as the Cowichan tribe.
They were up on what we
now call Vancouver Island
in Canada.
The Cowichan peoples
were coming down in canoes
that looked a little like that
and burning, pillaging,
and going through
the Suquamish's villages,
really terrorizing
the Suquamish people.
And that put Chief Kitsap
in a crisis.
They fight back at all?
You bet, yeah. Kitsap,
when faced with this crisis,
he decided to paddle
some canoes
across what's now
the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
And they went through
each village
and, of course,
did roughly the same thing
that the Cowichan
had done to the Suquamish.
Burning villages,
k*lling the elderly,
going through
and kidnapping many of
the women and children,
but there was
one thing missing.
The Cowichan warriors
were nowhere to be found.
Where the hell were they?
The Suquamish come back
wondering where are
the Cowichan warriors,
and lo and behold
they find them
in the Suquamish's village.
What did they do?
Kitsap immediately
orders all of their captives
from the Cowichan k*lled
and the Cowichan tribe
does the same.
That's pretty brutal.
And that is right before
the big battle begins.
Okay, so now
we've got this big battle.
Any idea how many casualties?
We don't know exactly
how many people d*ed,
but we do know that
it was a bloodbath.
But Kitsap did ultimately
defeat the Cowichan.
And any subsequent time
that the Cowichan did
att*ck the Suquamish,
Kitsap was victorious.
After these battles,
Kitsap became one
of the most powerful chiefs,
not only in
the Puget Sound area,
but in the Pacific Northwest.
Someone or something was
buried in that little hill.
It was buried by people.
[Matthew] Can you tell
anything about why it
was buried or who did it?
I don't know who did it.
It's very possible that
it all kind of goes back
to Native Americans.
I believe it was because this
thing was causing problems.
It's, like, trying to get out,
so it starts digging.
And then it stops
and it goes back.
And then it starts
digging again
in a completely
different direction.
The influence that
this radiates out
is kind of like a nuttiness,
so the energy that
it's emitting is crazy.
[Steve] When I'm in
the Pacific Northwest,
I always check in
with my good friend,
author Jeff Davis.
He did some digging and says
one of the original owners
of Caprice's property was a
guy who lived a charmed life.
That is, until he set foot
on the land.
[Steve] Well, Jeff,
it's good to see you again.
All right. So, this guy, what
can you tell me about him?
His name
was Charles Kittinger,
and he came from Delaware.
And he came at the age of
to open a private bank
with a friend.
Okay, so, when does he acquire
my client's property?
In , he married
a woman named Amy Whitney.
And about a month
after the marriage,
he started buying up land,
including your client's
property.
Okay, so it sounds like
he's doing okay with the bank.
Exactly.
He's highly successful,
he's on the Chamber
of Commerce.
I'd like to think of them as
Seattle's young power couple.
You told me that once he
acquired my client's property,
everything went to hell
for him. What happened?
It wasn't long after that that
they both turned on each other
and started accusing
each other of infidelity.
Okay.
To the point that,
according to rumors,
one time he actually pushed
her down the stairs.
And when she got up,
he went and slapped her.
[Steve] Did they stay
together or she split?
Surprisingly,
they stuck together.
They even had a daughter
in . Her name was Emma.
Okay.
And here
the tragedy continues.
One day,
after her second birthday,
she d*ed of meningitis.
Aw, that's a horrible death.
It is.
Soon after
their baby d*ed,
she left.
She went first
to the world's fair
and then she made
her way to New York,
where she got a job acting.
Charles, here.
How's things going for him
while this is all happening?
He was about
as successful
in business
after all of this
as he was in love.
He defaulted on loans
and the bank started after him
and he started getting sued.
Finally, ,
the bank wins the lawsuit
-and the property
is foreclosed on.
-Okay.
Leaving Charles with nothing.
So, what happened to Charles?
He went to Niagara Falls,
which was kind of a spa town.
And he d*ed at the age
of of meningitis,
like his
two-year-old daughter.
Really?
Here's his death certificate.
Wow.
So even though
he came from something,
he d*ed with nothing.
Exactly.
This female came in.
She's tall, thin, blonde.
She's in a bathing suit,
probably in her s,
and she was standing
by a tree,
And a man comes up
that she called,
I believe, Charlie.
I'm getting...
I believe it's the male
who's completely over it,
like, just done.
And he hits her in the back of
the head and she goes down.
[Matthew] Any idea
why he did that?
Psycho?

[Steve] So far,
I have a client who thinks
something evil
is going after her
and her -month-old
granddaughter
on a property where
a deadly Native American
battle took place.
But I wanna see
if there's anything else.
Searching through old records,
I find the tragic story of
a teen who committed su1c1de
just over a mile
from Caprice's property.
What could make
a teenager with his whole life
ahead of him k*ll himself?
I've got a private
investigator looking
into this case
and I'm hoping she might
have some answers for me.
Well, Leigh, thanks
for meeting with me
and helping me out
with this case.
This victim, what'd you
find out about him?
So the victim in this case
was a -year-old boy
named Freddie Jenkins.
Well-liked,
active in Boy Scouts.
Aw, he was a good-looking kid.
Now, was he an only child?
No, he had three other
siblings.
He was the eldest
in the family.
[Steve] The eldest, okay.
Do me a favor,
walk me through what happened.
So, on August th, ,
it was sort of
a family night out.
The parents went off
to go to a meeting
-at the veterans' club.
-Okay.
And the kids were planning
on seeing a movie.
The three younger kids
saw their brother drive
by in a bike.
They assumed that
Freddie was headed
to the movie theater too,
but he never showed up.
So what happened?
The kids come home
from the movie,
wander around the house trying
to figure out what's going on.
And that's when they see
their brother, Freddie,
hanging from a rafter
in their mother's bedroom.
Freddie was found
dressed from head to toe
with his mother's clothing on.
You're kidding me.
And we also have two water
glasses in the kitchen,
that the siblings did not use,
that were there
when they came in.
All right, so it indicates
more than one person
was in the house.
Right.
Here's an article about it.
All right, so did they deem it
a su1c1de at that point?
Well, the coroner
felt very strongly that
it was not a su1c1de.
We know that he found some
bruising on Freddie's stomach,
and we also noted that
he found two puncture marks
on Freddie's neck.
Really?
Which have never
fully been explained.
-The local sheriff was in
charge of the investigation.
-Okay.
-But he was never able to find
anybody linked to the case.
-Okay.
And his final verdict
was su1c1de by misadventure.
What the hell is that?
I'm not quite sure,
it doesn't make sense to me.
All right, so it's ,
how did the town
react to all this?
Town was completely
freaked out by this.
-Okay.
-By this death.
The townspeople raised
enough money to hire
their own private investigator
to look into the case.
-Okay.
-And at the same time,
the State decides
to get involved too.
-Okay.
-And together,
they decided they were going
to exhume Freddie's body again
and look for new evidence
with a second autopsy.
Did anything come out of that?
Nothing came out of that
that we know of.
So basically, it sounds like
this is still an open case.
It is a completely
unresolved case.
[Amy] Weird, I feel,
like, a death. Huh.
Definite death vibe.
I feel like there's
a dead male
and I think he's young. Hmm...
He's like in his teens.
I do believe that
he k*lled himself.
[Matthew] Any idea
how they're seeing him?
I think they're seeing him
like a shadow person.
This is where
the living woman
goes to cry.
I'm worried about this dead
male who k*lled himself,
and I feel like he's putting
that on to this living girl
wanting to k*ll herself.
[Matthew] Does he seem
to have any intent?
He's lonely, so he may want
somebody to join him.
[Amy] I saw several
horrifying things
on my walk,
but two stood out.
First, the teenager
who committed su1c1de.
Silhouetted, you know,
in the doorframe
is this male figure.
No defining anything
because it's all in shadow,
more like just what you
could see as outline.
Next, the tricksters attacking
a living woman in bed.
So these things are like
kind of ball-shaped,
so they have like little arms.
Make them
a little bit smaller.
The hands look like hands of
a really elderly person.
Amy, is this what you saw?
Yes, that's what I saw.
[Steve] Now that Amy
and I have completed
our investigations,
we're ready to reveal
our findings to each other
and our clients
for the first time.
So, guys,
I'd like you
to meet Amy,
she's gonna be
doing the reveal
from another room
so she can focus
on your case and the dead
without any distractions.
Amy, this is Caprice
and her daughter, Jordi.
Now, it's a big house,
a lot of people live here.
As a matter of fact, it's four
generations under one roof.
This is Jordi's baby,
Chloe, in the photo.
Next to her is Caprice's
other daughter, Tessah,
who's what, ?
.
And that's Grandma
in the middle
of both of them.
The main reason we got
called in is because of Chloe.
Caprice is convinced
that whatever's here
is after the baby.
And she doesn't even wanna
think about what could happen
if we can't fix things.
Now that Amy knows
a little bit about you guys,
she'll either have
some questions,
if not, she'll tell us
about her walk.
[Amy] The first dead person
that I encountered
during my walk is
in and out of the house.
To me, he came off, his vibe
was that of a young male,
possibly in his teens.
And he appeared to me
as more or less
a shadow person.
He's very, very sad.
Extremely depressed
individual.
At one point I saw him
through the eyes
of a living female,
and because of him,
she was crying and feeling
this extreme depression.
And so, I am pretty worried
about the living here,
because his energy...
he does push it out,
this depression.
[Steven] Caprice, we talked
about mood changes, tell Amy.
In the last six months or so,
we've experienced real
significant mood changes.
You also mentioned
that you had a lot of sadness
and depression, right?
[Caprice] Yeah.
I almost classify it as grief.
Amy mentioned that you may see
this kid as a shadow figure.
Tessah told me about seeing
a shadow figure
that made her depressed.
Jordi, how about you?
They just look whimsical
and it's black,
and it's a shadow person.
Basically st*lks my daughter
and I around our bedroom.
I had a sketch of what I saw.
Okay, so you really didn't get
a detailed look at him.
[Caprice] Wow.
That's your bedroom.
[Jordi] That's my bedroom.
How do you know
it's your bedroom?
[Jordi] This is literally
what I see, often.
I'll sense him, I wake up,
he's usually standing over
the side of my bed,
I mean I've lost
so much sleep over this.
So, Amy, did you get any
idea on who this kid was
when he was alive?
I did get that
he was a su1c1de.
I could tell that
he's slight build.
I felt that he was young,
I would think teen.
I did come across a su1c1de
of a teenager in my research.
This kid's name
was Freddie Jenkins.
Actually found
a picture of him.
So, in August of ,
-year-old Freddie
was supposed to meet his three
younger siblings at a movie,
but he never did.
So when the kids
got back home,
they found Freddie
hanging from a rafter
in their parents' bedroom.
It was a strange scene
because he was wearing
his mother's clothing,
and hung himself
with his mother's scarf.
There was an article
about him.
Wow, that's sending
a message, okay.
Yeah.
Now, the coroner
thought he was m*rder*d
because he found
two suspicious puncture marks
on his neck
and bruises on his stomach.
But the sheriff was convinced
that it was a su1c1de,
so to this day the case
remains basically unsolved.
You... It made me think about,
didn't you tell me about
puncture marks on your neck?
Yeah, on my neck
and then on my lower back.
[Amy] Oh, boy.
[Steve] All right, so,
Amy, what else happened?
I also saw there's
some activity
being created
by the living
in the house.
When I walked in,
I heard people fighting,
so I think there's a lot
of fighting going on?
And the energy in the house...
Oh, my gosh, like,
the tension and frustration
is physically consuming
and draining.
I felt that one female,
I believe, in particular,
is feeling trapped,
and tormented.
And the other female feeling
frustrated and angry...
Well, it's one of
the main reasons
we were called in, Amy.
Jordi thinks her mother
has become a totally
different person.
[voice breaking]
She's literally no one that
I even know anymore sometimes,
and I can't get
through to her.
It'll be something so small
and she just snaps,
and it's like her eyes
go black,
and then she'll just blink
and nobody's home.
And she's possessed
or something,
I mean, the stuff
that comes out of her mouth,
like... are just really
not her, and they're hurtful.
And I don't remember
what is said.
It's a burst, it's like
an expl*si*n of angst
and anger and then it's over.
[Jordi] I need to take
a break for a sec.
[Amy] Okay.
I'm sorry.
[Jordi sniffling]
Do you wanna go see
if she's gonna be okay?
She wants to be away from me.
It's just she gets
highly emotional.
-[Jordi exhales deeply]
-You okay?
-[sniffling] Yeah,
I apologize, I just...
-[Steve] It's all right.
...needed a second.
[Steven] Amy, any idea
on what's making Caprice
so angry?
[Amy] So, during my opening
I was shown a hill,
where something was buried by
people from a long time ago,
because it was
causing problems.
I think that it's tied
to Native Americans.
What I would see is
this thing in this hill,
trying to dig itself out.
The influence that
this radiates out
is kind of like a nuttiness,
so the energy that
it's emitting is crazy.
[Steve] So, Amy,
a tribe called the Suquamish
used to live here
for thousands of years.
As a matter of fact,
they had villages all up
and down the Puget Sound.
In the s,
they were terrorized
by a warlike tribe
called the Cowichan.
This tribe used
to paddle down the river,
from the north,
to come over here
and kidnap or k*ll
whatever they found
-on the Suquamish villages.
-Whoa.
I mean they destroyed them.
Fortunately, the tribe
had a chief named Kitsap.
Now, he led a w*r party
against the Cowichan villages.
They att*cked
the Cowichan tribes,
camps they could find,
they k*lled the elderly,
took the women
and children c*ptive.
These two sides fought it out,
but Kitsap and his men
ultimately won.
So that bloodshed
happened where we live.
Yeah, in the s, yeah.
Amy, did you pick up
on anything else?
[Amy] The next things
that I encountered,
which are
the biggest problem...
Little shadow things that
were, like, maybe feet tall.
Oh, God.
It took me a while,
and I'm like "Oh, look,
they're tricksters."
That definitely tied in
with what I had gotten prior,
with the hill,
and all this kinda stuff
and I'm, like,
"This is totally
Native American".
And there was about five or
six of them around your house,
but there's two that
made me really nervous,
because they seemed
aggressive.
I'm feeling something
on the bed,
something jumping
around the bed.
Caprice, do me a favor
and tell Amy about
Tessah's bed shaking.
She said it felt like
something picked
the corner end of her bed
up off the ground
-about a foot off, and...
-Oh.
...let it go, and it
just slammed down.
Yeah, that would
be a trickster.
The ones that
were aggressive,
what I saw,
was that they were
causing nightmares.
Oh, I have very, very,
very intense nightmares.
I gotta assume
that these things cause
a lot more than just
nightmares, am I correct?
Yeah, they absolutely
can physically interact.
Like I felt somebody being
pushed or hit in the back,
being poked.
This person's in a great
deal of physical pain.
Tell Amy about
when you were carrying Chloe.
I was carrying her
down the staircase,
I got pushed from behind,
and went airborne,
but I tucked myself
into a ball to protect her.
[Amy] Wow. I got
that the tricksters
were interacting
with someone in bed.
Basically,
I saw them up
on this person,
holding them down,
and assaulting this person.
And I got that this person
was extremely terrified.
I'll wake up and I'll have
bruises on my inner thighs.
One of them,
in particular, I woke up
and I looked like acid burns.
Went to my doctor,
there's no explanation.
And this is the one
you were just talking about,
the burn and the bruise.
Tell Amy about being
strangled by cold hands.
Oh, yeah.
I've woken up choking.
It felt like ice-cold hands
on my throat.
Mmm-hmm.
I think we need to talk to Amy
about the other things
that are happening to you.
I know it's a tough
thing to talk about,
but she needs to know.
I've been grabbed
by the shoulder
with what feels like
either jagged nails or claws.
Flipped over,
then I'm assaulted
with something
that does not feel human.
I did have a sketch done...
of what I saw of these two
aggressive tricksters.
Wow, that's strange.
You're not gonna like
to see this, but...
[Caprice] Oh, God.
The hands.
Definitely the hands.
It's like a visual
representation
of the terror that you feel.
My biggest fear is that
these two weird tricksters
would get more
aggressive with you
and do severe physical harm.
[voice breaking] It's hard
to hear that my worries and
fears weren't just paranoia.
I utterly [sniffles]
felt like I was going crazy.
[sobs]
[Steve] So, the good news
is you guys aren't crazy,
but you got
a lot of stuff
going on here.
Now, to answer
the big question...
Can you make this place safe
for you and your family,
especially little Chloe,
or are you gonna have
to pack up and leave?
And for that answer,
I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.
So, there's a lot
going on here,
and the majority, honestly,
has to do with your family
and your family's dynamic.
I feel that you guys need
intensive family counseling
and I would highly suggest
a psychotherapist
for that counseling
for the family.
As far as
the paranormal's concerned,
I would get a shaman
that is associated with
the Suquamish tribe,
to come and to remove
the tricksters.
At the same time,
removing the dead male
who k*lled himself.
[Steven] What about the thing
buried in the hill outside?
Will the shaman
also take care of that?
Yes. Absolutely, yes. Yes.
I'm grateful
that it's fixable.
I was prepared
to burn it down.
You guys are gonna
take Amy's advice?
Hell, yes.
I mean, all of it,
the counseling...
Yes.
Knowing is the power.
Well, I'm glad we could help,
'cause you guys
were pretty desperate,
but you gotta feel good
knowing Chloe's gonna be safe.
Yeah, I just think
you guys are great.
You're amazing.
Thank you, Amy!
[chuckles]
[Amy] I really hope
Caprice and Jordi seek out
family counseling.
If they do that,
and call in a shaman
to clear out all of the dead,
all four generations of women
should be able to go back
to living a peaceful
and happy life under one roof.
Hi, Amy!
Hi, Steve!
Hi, guys! Well, we did
what Amy asked us to do.
[Jordi]
I contacted the Suquamish
tribe elders for assistance.
And the shaman came
and cleansed our house,
our land
and my daughter Chloe
actually now sleeps
through the night.
So we wanna thank you from
the bottom of our hearts.
We've seen % improvement
and all of the activity
is gone.
Bye, guys!
Bye!
