[suspenseful music playing]
[Amy]
There's this huge vortex.
It's this dark hole.
This area is not healthy
for the living.
I'm afraid that
she's gonna end up dead.
I was at the top of the stairs
and I felt two hands
just pushed me.
You're in a lot
of trouble here.
Like feeling somebody
getting smacked on the face.
[intense music playing]
It could become more
and more violent,
so that could cause death.
Can I have a minute?
[Amy]
It's always been negative.
This is bad.
It wants the person dead.
My name is Amy Allen.
[groans]
I see dead people.
I saw a lean 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.
-Hmm, I'm not gonna like this.
-[groans]
When we uncover
if it's safe for you to stay.
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]
[intense music playing]
[Steve] So I'm in Wilmington,
North Carolina
on the Cape Fear coast.
Seems to be a good name
for this place
because I got a call
from a couple Deb and Elaine,
they are scared
out of their minds.
Whatever the entity
or entities
that are in our house
are affecting our health
and our safety.
It's like attacking us.
So, if you would please
help us,
we have nowhere else to turn.
[Steve] Deb says Amy and I
are her last chance
and if we can't help,
it won't be long
before she's a widow.
[Amy] There's this
huge vortex.
Like it's this dark hole.
This vortex messes
with the living.
So the people can get lost
in what's real
and what's manipulation.
[intense music playing]
This area is not healthy
for the living.
Agh!
[Steve] Deb, I know
when we spoke on the phone,
you were desperate
and needed our help,
but I got tight
driving up here.
This place is beautiful.
Yeah, I mean,
your home is just...
Should be
in a magazine somewhere.
What's it like living
in this house?
We are just living through
a hell at this point
and I'm so worried
about my wife being hurt.
I'm afraid that
she's going to end up dead.
Why do you think
whatever's here
is going after Elaine?
Do you have any thoughts
on that?
I think
she's more open to the...
the spiritual world.
[Steve] On the phone you said
Elaine used to be a cop
and a firefighter, right?
[Deb] Yes.
Okay. So is it just the two
of you living here?
[Deb] Yes. It's just us.
[Steve] Well, you look happy
in this photo.
[Deb] When we're away
from the house, we are.
[Steve] Okay, how long
have you guys been together?
We've been together
almost years.
So how long have you
lived here, though?
Almost five years.
Almost five years, okay.
So, Deb, I'm obviously going
to do my investigation
on the home and the property.
Is there anything that
you could tell me that
could help my investigation?
Well, the previous owners
that we bought the home from
had a son
who was m*rder*d here in town.
He lived here
for a period of time.
Okay, I'm going to look
into that obviously.
All right, so Deb,
do me a favor
and give me a list of what
you guys are going through.
[Deb] Well, we hear voices.
We have seen shadow figures.
It's become more aggressive
and I really feel that
it's trying to k*ll Elaine
at this point.
It's depleting her life force.
It's definitely affecting her
and her health.
All right, so what do you mean
when you say, it's sucking out
her life force?
About three o'clock
in the afternoon it's...
She's just exhausted
and she has to go lay down.
Is what's going on here
causing you guys to fight
at all?
Elaine says that, for sure.
So what makes you think
that's from the paranormal,
it's just not like
couple stuff?
When we leave
and go on vacation
it's completely different.
-Yeah.
-[Deb] Um...
That's why I'm saying,
I think we're at least
influenced by something here.
Your wife is basically
being destroyed slowly.
And you're standing here
watching it happen.
It's devastating.
So we got to fix this.
[Amy] I felt something
following me
that didn't feel
like a person.
It just felt like
a really dark energy.
It's malevolent.
You do feel watched
and stalked by it.
This dark energy
is showing itself to me
as a spider.
And I think it can suck
all of the life force
out of everything.
And I was looking around
and it was like,
everything was dying.
[intense music playing]
This dark nasty presence
can affect the living by,
I believe, like basically
draining their,
their life energy
so that can make them
very ill.
Also, kind of
intrusive thoughts.
Regret, remorse, depression,
over and over and over again.
And I hear somebody being,
like,
"Yeah, it's always been
dark there.
It's always been negative."
[Steve]
What's going on in here?
I see shadow figures
out of the corner of my eyes.
Is it always down here?
Usually in the entryway
and stairway.
-[Steve] Okay, so it's not
in just one spot.
-Right.
Could it be coming
from outside?
Because, you know,
the road's out here,
is it possible
that's happening?
No, we don't have
that much traffic
and we shut the blinds.
[Steve] Okay. Anything else?
Things are moving
on their own.
Okay. So give me an example.
A lot of times I'll come down
in the morning
and my pictures are moved.
[Steve]
Is anything else moving?
Um, we have like little rocks
that you can hear
being picked up
and put back on a mirror.
So those are moving
and we'll get up
and they'll be moved.
What room is this in?
In the master bedroom.
-Sounds like whatever's here
doesn't want you to sleep.
-Right.
Okay.
[Amy] This energy
takes a toll on the living.
Physical and a mental
and an emotional
obviously toll.
The people
who are living in it
are feeling the sense
that this isn't quite right.
There's something wrong
with their reality.
What I want to understand is
this dark thing,
that I know is like stalkerish
and watches.
There's annoyance with this.
[intense music playing]
Okay, the clothes
are all purty
and you come back
and it's like, you know,
this one's here like that,
you know.
And you're like, "No, no, no.
I definitely had that pillow
over there." [bleep]
"All right. All right."
And it's like constantly
[bleep] doing [bleep]
like that.
And this thing likes this,
chaos.
[Steve]
So what's going on in here?
I felt the bed shake.
Can you show me how hard
it was when it happened?
Sure. It was like this.
-Okay, so substantial.
-Yeah.
Anything else physical
like that happen?
I've been touched.
How?
Across my jaw
and one time
while I was standing
in this bedroom,
I felt like a force, full,
straight down my spine.
How did you react?
I like pulled my clothes off
because I thought something
was crawling on me.
-You mean, like, like
a spider or something?
-[Deb] Yeah.
-[Steve] What else?
-I've been choked.
Choked, explain what happened.
-I was sound asleep.
-Okay.
And woken about :
in the morning
and it felt like there
was actually something
in my throat
and I was having
a hard time breathing.
-So it had freaked you out
a little bit.
-[Deb] Yeah.
I was quite scared.
I know you're worried
about your wife,
but you're having some stuff
happen to you.
Yeah.
Hopefully we can get something
figured out and how to fix it.
[Amy] The dark energy,
that spider looking thing,
it's everywhere.
That thing is freaking them
the [bleep] out.
Someone is being touched
and, and messed with here.
I see a woman.
She's not seeing anything
just feeling the hands
and like grabbed, like here,
I'm thinking.
And she's like yanking back.
They're scared, they're scared
and they're having
all of those experiences.
Like, feeling somebody
getting smacked on the face.
This is bad.
[intense music playing]
[Steve] So Elaine, Deb told me
that she thinks whatever here
is trying to k*ll you.
I mean... And you
agree with that?
I do.
So talking to Deb
and I asked her, you know,
how your relationship's going
because of all this?
She said you guys are,
kind of, fighting a little bit
more than normal.
A little bit?
[laughs]
I'm ready to take a break
and just drive on out
the driveway.
-And you don't think it's
just relationship stuff?
-[Elaine] I mean...
No.
No, we've been together
for almost years.
So, obviously,
you've had experiences.
Can you tell me
about some of them?
I've seen all kinds
of shadow figures
all over the house.
Describe what you're seeing.
Very tall shadow figures,
maybe seven foot tall.
-Really?
-Yes.
I saw one in my bedroom
and it had legs
and it moved
from the closet area
and it moved through the bed
and just disappeared
through the wall.
So, Elaine,
when I was talking to Deb,
she told me that
you were a firefighter
and a cop as well.
I got to assume like me,
I've seen the worst
of the worst
and I have PTSD from it.
Yes.
Do you think that whatever's
happening to you...
here with the paranormal,
the PTSD is getting triggered?
-No.
-[Steve] You don't?
No, I...
I can tell the difference
between the two.
Okay.
I don't have an explanation
for what's happening.
It sounds like it's trying
to drive you guys crazy.
It is.
I feel like I'm going crazy
with it.
[Amy] So somebody
has seen a figure
and it is this dark energy.
So, they've seen a form.
That's interesting.
This living person was r*ped.
They're actually kind of
creating a person
out of this energy
and that's pretty interesting.
So this person's created
a shadow figure
that looks like
their attacker.
[cameraman]
What is it that
they're seeing?
This is a young male.
Short hair.
Like a professional aura.
Like, someone who's
like nine to five, clean cut.
They've actually given it,
like, a existence in like
a shape.
It's become
kind of physical in a way.
Obviously, they must have
some kind of ability.
Okay, shadow figures.
We got that.
What else
are you experiencing?
I was sitting watching TV
one night on the couch
and I felt a really bad
burning sensation on my back.
Okay, what was it?
Well, I asked Deb
to look at it
because I thought
that something had bit me
and she lifted my shirt up...
and this is what...
she saw.
[Steve] And this just
came out of nowhere?
Out of nowhere
and it hurt for a long time.
All right, anything else?
I was at the top of the stairs
and I felt two hands
on my back,
and it was a pretty
hard shove.
I reached around and grabbed
the handrail with both hands
and if I hadn't have,
I would have went straight
down the... the stairs.
[Steve] Obviously,
if you would have fell,
you could have broke
your neck.
-It would have busted
my head wide open.
-[Steve] Right.
You know, as tough as you are,
you know, your background,
I'm surprised you didn't run
the hell out of here,
because I think
I might have ran out.
[sighs]
Okay, anything else?
Since we've moved in
my health has completely
went downhill.
You know, when I spoke
to Deb earlier,
she mentioned that.
Um, explain to me
what's going on with you?
-I stay tired all the time.
-Sounds like depression.
I know and I'm not...
I don't feel depressed.
[Steve] Do you feel abused?
I do by something
that I cannot see.
You're in a lot
of trouble here.
This has got to stop.
[intense music playing]
[cameraman]
What kind of effect
would all this have
on somebody that spends
a lot of time here?
This dark energy,
I think being exposed to it
could make you sick,
uh, because it k*lled.
It was, it was k*lling,
just sucking the life
out of everything.
[intense music playing]
It's sucking the life
out of people,
feeling off constantly.
Never feeling quite right.
Um...
Questioning your sanity.
Uh, questioning your reality.
Obviously
there's physical interaction
with this thing as well,
which is dangerous
and traumatizing.
I think that
they could get very ill,
if not, even die from it.
[intense music playing]
[Steve]
So, one of the first calls
I made when I got to town
was the local professor
who's helped me out before.
She tells me
one of the earliest owners
of Deb and Elaine's property
had nothing but heartbreak
from the second he set foot
on the land.
Well, professor,
it's good to see you again
and thanks for helping me out.
No problem.
So who was this early owner
with all the bad luck
you told me about?
Well, his name
was Luke Hill McClammy
and he was born
in Wilmington in .
When does Luke wind up
buying my client's property?
Luke bought it in
and he was just married.
He and his wife Mary
wanted to start a family
at that point.
So you told me he had nothing
but heartbreak when he got
onto my client's property.
What happened?
Five years after he'd bought
the property,
his first son, Worth McClammy,
d*ed in infancy.
-Okay.
-[Angela] And then,
in ,
there were two deaths.
One was his daughter, Francis,
and also Luke's twin brother,
David, d*ed of unknown causes.
Oh! Jeez!
-This guy can't catch a break.
-No, he really can't.
Luke's last remaining child,
Julian, d*ed at the age of .
Do things ever get better
for this guy?
Only for about years.
And then in ,
Luke's beloved wife, Mary,
was outside in the morning
feeding the chickens
as she usually did
and she dropped over dead
from a heart att*ck.
[Steve]
I mean, is anybody else
alive in this family?
[Angela]
No, he's totally alone
and he decides
having nobody left
to give the property to,
in , he sold half of it.
He sold the other half in
and then exactly two months
to the day after he signed
the deed selling his property,
Luke himself d*ed.
[Steve scoffs]
[Steve] All right.
Does that say
the cause of death
as exhaustion?
[Angela] It does,
exhaustion and anemia.
He certainly, probably d*ed
from a broken heart as well.
Wow, what a shame!
[Amy] This huge vortex,
I believe is somehow
collecting dead people.
This area has a lot
of random dead people
from I believe
quite a long period of time.
And so, I do think
it's a possibility that
there may be, you know,
dead coming and going.
[Steve] So far,
I've got clients terrified
that the dead are trying
to rip them apart
on a property
where one of the first owners
suffered nothing
but heartbreak and tragedy.
[elevator dings]
But I got to see
if there's anything else.
Searching through
the archives,
I found a freak storm
that destroyed dozens of boats
back in the late s.
But one boat just vanished
into thin air,
that is until a few years ago.
I reached out
to a local historian who says,
I won't believe what happened
to the wreckage
from that ship.
[Steve]
So, Robert, I appreciate you
helping me out with this case.
So what can you tell me
about this ship?
[Robert]
The John S. Lee,
it was originally built
in
and it probably looked
something about like that.
[Steve] This is not the ship,
-but this is what
it would've looked like.
-Exactly.
All right, so we know the ship
went down, when did it leave
port for the last time?
It left Wilmington
on April th .
It was headed to Venezuela
with a cargo of lumber.
What was the crew like?
How many people on board?
On board a typical schooner,
you would have had a crew
of six to eight men.
All right, so what went wrong?
Well, two days into the trip,
a massive storm
hits the North Carolina coast.
It was huge.
We're talking
torrential rains,
gale force winds.
At least vessels
were damaged or lost at sea
including the John S. Lee.
I got to assume
with that much damage
and all those ships
some of this stuff
had to wash up on shore.
Yeah, for weeks bodies
and wreckage were washing up.
[Steve] I know from
my research that John S. Lee
was found pretty recently.
[Robert]
Yeah, it was basically lost
to history until .
And then, remains
of a shipwreck were discovered
on a place
called Figure Eight Island,
about two miles
from your client's property.
So, now you mentioned
on the phone
I'd be really surprised
as to what was done
with the ship's wreckage.
Yeah, a local couple
decided to build a house
on Figure Eight
and they use part of it
in the design.
[Steve] So part of this house
is actual wood
from our ship that went down?
[Robert]
That's right.
I mean, kind of creepy
using wood from a ship
that went down.
I got my reservations
about that.
Yeah, I agree.
One good thing is that now
we know what happened
to that ship.
True.
[Amy]
I look down and I see
two inches of muck.
I'm walking through
and I realized that
it's decomposed bodies.
Yeah, there's a lot of bodies.
There's like pieces,
like, pieces of people.
I don't feel good down here.
I feel very sick down here.
I don't know
if it's all these...
pieces of people
are like, crying.
They're like, asking for help,
they're crying,
they're screaming,
they're tormented.
What the [bleep]
with these dead people?
They all feel like lost.
I think they're all stuck
in this vortex.
-Okay.
-[Amy] And it did...
It took in these dead people.
I mean, they've said
it's been here forever, so...
It's always been that way,
they said.
It's always been that way.
There's too many.
What does that mean?
How many roughly?
[scoffs] Hundreds.

[Steve] Deb mentioned that
the son of a previous owner
was m*rder*d.
I can't tell you how
often clients get
this kind of stuff wrong,
but I did some digging
and it's true.
I'm heading back to the house
to meet a local
television reporter
who says it all started
with a bizarre love triangle.
[Steve] So, Ashlea, thanks
for looking into this for me.
I appreciate it.
Before we get into the details
of the homicide,
what do we know
about the victim?
The victim in this case
was a -year-old man
by the name
of Martin Yakimovich.
Okay.
In , his father
and stepmother moved
into your client's house.
We think that this was
actually his room at the time.
When was the m*rder?
The m*rder was in .
So I got to assume
he wasn't living here
at the time
because he was an adult
when he got m*rder*d.
Yes, he was living about
ten miles from here
with his girlfriend
at the time, Molly.
Anything about
their relationship
that we know of?
We do know that Martin
traveled a lot for work
leaving Molly
in their three-bedroom home
for stretches of time.
Okay. All right.
So she's lonely.
So what happens next?
She is lonely and she meets
a teenager online,
-year-old Shelby Lentz,
and then she asks Martin
if Shelby can move in
with them.
She was lonely,
Shelby needed a place to stay
and they had the extra space
at their house
and in a fateful decision,
Martin agrees.
I'm assuming, at one point,
they probably start
sleeping together?
Correct. Martin comes home
from a trip in December
of
and finds that
Shelby and Molly
were sleeping together
behind his back.
He is furious
and he kicks Shelby out.
Does he break up
with her at this point?
No, they stay together.
So what happens next?
On January rd ,
Martin comes home
from another work trip
and finds that Shelby
moved in again
while he was away.
-There is a huge argument.
-Okay.
And that's when Shelby
comes up right behind Molly
and stabs Martin in the chest.
All right,
so he's got a chest wound now.
How bad was it?
[Ashley] The Kn*fe
pierced his heart.
[Steve] Okay.
So he bleeds out.
So what happens with our perp?
Shelby turned himself
into police two days later.
But he claimed
this whole thing
was self-defense.
In a jailhouse interview
with us,
he said that Molly
and Martin were fighting.
That Martin
was the aggressor here.
But as it turns out,
Molly did not back up
that story
and the autopsy report shows
that there are no indications
that Martin was the aggressor
in this case.
Do they charge him
and does he go to trial?
What happens?
A year later,
Shelby confesses in court
to second-degree m*rder
and he's sentenced
to to years in prison.
[Steve] Eighteen to years,
I mean that's a plea deal.
[Ashley] Yeah, Martin's father
felt that he got off easy.
He turned to him
during sentencing and said,
"God will deal with you."
A year later, he moved out
of your client's house.
[Amy] I'm seeing like,
uh, male late teens,
early s...
m*rder*d in this area.
He was thin, probably about
five-foot-seven to five nine.
He had frosted
dyed blonde hair,
like a skater boy haircut.
This was in anywhere
from until now.
He was beaten
and left for dead.
It was night time
when this happened
and he's angry.
This is bad.
[Amy] I saw several
disturbing things on my walk,
but two stood out.
First, the many pieces
of dead people
in the basement.
So there's like a wall.
In that I could see
these little pockets,
and in those little pockets
were like,
these little bubbles,
and inside the bubbles
were all different people.
Next, I describe
the shadow figure
who looks like the person
who att*cked a living woman.
Both of his, um, hands
were on his knees
and he's completely straight
and he's looking
at the person in the bed.
And so, his hair
is a little bit shorter
and neater.
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, this is Amy.
She's going to be
doing the reveal
from a separate room,
so she could focus
on your case
and the dead
without any distractions.
Amy meet Deb and Elaine.
This was supposed to be
their forever home
and as you can see,
it's absolutely beautiful.
But since they moved in,
their life has gone to hell.
It's so bad...
Deb thinks that
whatever's here
is trying to k*ll Elaine.
We're their last hope
and these guys are praying
you could find some way
to make this place
safe for them.
So unless Amy's
got some questions,
she'll tell us about her walk.
[Amy]
Well, one thing that I got
when I first arrived
was a violent death
and the victim was a male.
He was m*rder*d.
He was on the younger side.
I would have put him
in his s.
What I picked up
about how he d*ed was that
he was beaten
and left for dead.
I did see this happening
at night
and I felt that this was
relatively recent,
uh, maybe in the s.
You looking at me, like,
you're thinking
what I'm thinking?
[both] Mm-hmm.
[Steve]
Deb, you gave me a tip
that actually checked out.
I think the victim
of this m*rder
you're talking about
was a guy
named Martin Yakamovich.
His dad owned this house
and when he was a kid,
we believed that this was
the room he stayed in.
But by the time of the m*rder,
his dad still lived here
but Martin was
ten miles away,
living with
his girlfriend, Molly.
Now, he traveled
a lot for work
and Molly got lonely
and started a relationship
with a -year-old kid
named Shelby Lentz.
So in December of ,
Martin caught them in bed
together and threw Shelby out.
But, just a few weeks later,
in January of ,
Martin came home one night
and found them two
in the bed again.
Oh, my God!
[Steve]
They had a huge fight.
Things got really heated.
So about o'clock
that night,
Shelby grabs a Kn*fe
and plunges it right
into Martin's heart
and pierces it.
Oh, damn!
Shelby pleaded out
to second-degree m*rder
and he got an
to -year sentence.
I got his mug sh*t here.
[Amy] He looks like
a little child.
[Steve] He was
when he did the m*rder.
So the father was so upset
about the whole thing,
he actually moved
out of here a year later.
How long did they live here?
-Over years.
-[Steve] Yeah,
they were here long.
-[Amy] Really?
-[Steve] Yeah.
[Amy]
Okay, interesting.
Well, that makes me
even more concerned.
[Steve]
So what else you got, Amy.
[Amy] The land your house
sits on has me very worried
and that's because
there's a vortex.
It somehow is like
collecting bodies.
I was walking and I could see
like, two inches of this muck
and then I realized
it was like
these decomposing bodies.
And I was like,
"This is like
just very bizarre."
So I came across a ton
of deaths in my research.
But for now I'm just going
to tell you about one of them.
It happened in April of
when a freak storm came
and caught everybody
off guard.
So now there was boats
that were lost or damaged
during the storm.
So now bodies wind up
washing up on shore for weeks
less than a mile from here.
One ship the John S. Lee
was never recovered.
That was until ,
when a local couple
found the debris nearby
and used it
to decorate the house
that they were building
less than two miles from here.
It was all wood that was
recovered from this boat.
-Oh, my gosh!
-Wow!
Is that a bad idea, to kind of
use the wood from a boat
where people d*ed?
Yeah, that wouldn't be
a great idea.
When I came down
to the basement,
I saw people
from all different
time periods.
I feel very sick down here.
I don't know if it's all these
pieces of people
are like crying,
they're like asking for help,
they're crying,
they're screaming,
they're tormented.
You okay?
You got
a pretty strong reaction
to what she was saying.
That's where I spend
all my time,
is in the basement.
I did have a sketch done
of what I saw down there.
Kind of creepy.
That looks evil.
That looks awful.
And they're trapped there?
It makes me not want
to go back down there.
[Steve] It's a pretty
interesting walk already.
What else did you come across?
[Amy] Now here's like,
the really serious issue
for you guys in particular.
When I was coming up
to the house
there was this dark energy.
It drains the life force
out of things.
Like, when I was walking up,
I literally...
It's showing me, like,
it's coming up
and the grass
is dying behind it,
because it's absorbing
that energy.
So that goes,
if you have humans,
really not good.
Because it does drain
you guys,
which can lead to illness.
I can sleep all night long,
get up, and two hours later
I'm ready to go back to bed
and sleep all day long.
One of the things
that I saw upstairs,
there's a bed
with a bunch of pillows on it
and a blanket
at the end of the bed.
Okay, so you make it.
It's all nice.
You leave. You come back.
Now,
the blanket's still folded,
but it's turned down
and the pillows moved.
So I think that over time,
living here would make
you feel like
you're losing your mind.
Things move. Um...
Everything from certain
pictures, canvases
in our house,
the cabinets will open,
we'll hear things move.
It's gotten to the point
where I felt like
I was losing my mind.
One of the things that I got
that this energy does
to people is that
it can give people
intrusive thoughts.
It tries to draw out of people
this kind of remorse
and depression and regret.
Over time, I believe
this could really take
a very serious mental
and emotional toll on someone.
Well, you guys mentioned
that this,
whatever's been going on here,
it's been taking a toll
on your relationship
and your marriage, right?
It's been a struggle.
Yeah, it's like
it's pitting us
against each other.
Well, you guys are functioning
in like, negative hell.
[exhales]
So, when I went upstairs,
I went into the bedroom
on the right.
That's their bedroom.
I sensed that the living
in there had abilities.
[Steve] So, you think
it's both of them.
I honestly,
I think it's Elaine.
Yeah, I think
she's always been more open
and sensitive.
Because of your abilities,
somehow you are giving a form
and a shape,
uh, to this dark energy.
So, the way that I perceived
this energy
was this huge, like,
black spider.
But you're seeing it
as a person.
A kind of clean cut,
kind of younger male.
He was sitting on the steps
near the bed, like, staring.
I felt that this person
had some kind of role
in your life
that was pretty significant
and there's some kind of
trauma with him
from your past.
And I saw a living woman
being held down
and att*cked by this male,
and I did have a sketch
done of what I saw.
It's a chandelier, all right,
but you're not going to like
what you see next to it.
[gasps]
[Amy] I would have put him
in the s,
but I did feel like
that there was sexual trauma
in the past.
-Can I have a minute?
-Yeah, of course.
She figured you would pick up
on it.
But it's not something
that she really wants
to discuss, obviously.
So, let me just check on her.
Okay.
-I'm sorry.
-[Steve] No.
-Listen, you just relax.
-[Elaine sighs]
-I'm sorry.
-Don't be.
You hit the nail on the head.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize. [scoffs]
[sighs]
So then I saw this thing
getting really physical
and I saw some touching.
There was a female.
I felt like getting smacked
on my face,
getting grabbed
by the shoulder.
We were just watching TV
and I felt a really bad
burning sensation on my back.
I asked Deb to look at my back
and she was like, "Oh my God!"
And she snapped a picture
and that's what she saw.
-The well?
-[Steve] Yeah, the well.
[Amy] Boy!
[Steve] Amy, Deb's been
touched a few times.
So, Deb, do me a favor
and tell Amy about,
what you described
as like, like a choking?
I was awakened at like
three something in the morning
and I woke up choking.
It wasn't like pressure
on my neck.
It was actually
inside my throat.
Tell Amy about you getting
pushed on the stairs.
[Elaine]
I was going down the stairs
and I got to about
the third step
and I felt two huge hands.
It pushed me
and I caught myself.
Mm-hmm.
And if I hadn't have,
I would have fell completely
down the steps.
My worry is that
it could become more
and more violent
as far as att*cks
are concerned.
So that, obviously,
could potentially cause death.
I'm actually,
kind of surprised
that Elaine didn't pick up
on it when we were looking
at this house.
What Deb wants, Deb gets.
I really would have thought
that Elaine
would have picked up
on the land being bad.
And so, this is kind
of heartbreaking.
Well, I'm not Amy Allen.
And I know a lot of sensitives
including myself
who have been duped
and moved into
really [bleep] up places,
so it happens to all of us.
[Steve]
I can see the stunned look
on your faces,
and honestly,
I feel the same way.
So now is the big question.
Is there any way to make
this house safe for you guys,
living happily ever after,
or not?
For that answer I'm going
to turn it over to Amy.
[Amy] This is
a very beautiful home.
But I think you guys know
what I'm going to say.
When I saw what I saw here,
I knew that nobody
should have ever built,
built here.
No nobody should live here.
This should have just
been left alone.
I think it's not healthy
for anybody...
to stay here.
Unfortunately, I know
that's not the answer
you guys wanted to hear.
It's just a house.
[Steve] What about you?
It's not worth staying here
and having
to continually worry
and to give up our happiness.
When they move
to a new location
that doesn't have any issues,
will she start to feel better?
Will their relationship
get better?
Yeah, I mean absolutely.
Where's the "For Sale" sign?
You guys are young.
You have a long life
ahead of you just...
try and make the best
of it.
What we've built here,
we can do again.
And I just have to look at it
that way.
[Amy] I feel really bad
for Deb and Elaine,
but in a situation
as dangerous as this,
I think it's best they leave
their home.
Hopefully,
they take my advice,
leave this dark negative
energy behind,
and get a fresh start
somewhere new.
Hi, Steve and Amy.
We wanted to give you
an update at what's going on
in our house.
The activity has continued
and actually has increased.
Because of Amy's findings,
we've decided to take
her advice and sell the house
and move on to hopefully
a better place.
So, thank you so much
for coming and investigating
and letting us know
what was happening.
