[Amy] I saw seven people,
whatever they did was evil.
They're very angry
about something.
I've seen an apparition
of Nikki's friend Sean,
who's passed in the hallway.
The paranormal k*lled him.
If he's here, I feel like
he's trying to protect me.
It's freaking me out.
Approximately d*ed.
They must have thought
it was the end of the world
when this happened.
I think she might be
trying to k*ll you.
[Toni speaking]
[Amy] I'm hearing the
dead lady saying,
"Why won't you help us?
Why won't you help us?"
It wants the person dead.
My name is Amy Allan.
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're 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
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.
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 a house
because it wants to k*ll you.
[gasps]
[Steve] I'm in Flatwoods,
Kentucky. It's a small city
along the Ohio river.
I got a desperate call from
a woman named, Nikki.
She told me, she
always dreamed
of owning a home
in the middle of nowhere.
Let me tell you,
mission accomplished,
but Nikki said,
shortly after she
and her sister moved in,
all hell broke loose.
My life is just terrible,
and I know it's these things
affecting me.
I know that they
are destroying me,
and now ultimately, I think
they want to take my life.
[Steve] Nikki believes
whatever's in her house
has already k*lled
one of her friends,
and now it's coming after her.
I'm really hoping
we can help her out.
[Amy] Oh, boy.
What is this?
There are a ton of graves,
and I just saw them
over there.
I saw seven people,
they're all in black,
and like the women have
like the big hats
and the thick veils,
and it's two men
and five women.
I think they're mourning
the loss of loved ones,
but I feel fear of them
so I feel like they have
bad intentions here.
[Steve] So Nikki,
this is a nice house
in a beautiful area.
-[Nikki] Thank you.
-[Steve] I mean,
-you should be
happy living here...
-I should.
...but you're not,
obviously.
-Yeah.
-So, what's going on?
The paranormal activity
is unbelievable.
-Okay.
-I see all kinds of spirits,
they make my day
a living hell.
So Nikki, you said on
the phone that you believe
the paranormal
k*lled one of your friends,
explain to me
why you think that it is.
Yes, I, I believe
my friend, Sean,
he was my best friend
of years.
I believe that...
the paranormal k*lled him.
What did he die of?
Heart problems.
-How old is he?
-Uh, .
I'm curious, he d*ed here?
No, he d*ed at his home.
So what makes you think
it's paranormal?
He was a young, healthy guy.
It's easy
to blame his heart...
but I feel like they did it.
Do you think he's here?
Yeah, I'll, I'll hear my name,
and it's his voice.
-Okay.
-I heard him one day say,
"Nikki, be careful."
If he's here, I feel like
he's trying to protect me.
I've no doubt.
Thank you.
[Steve] So let's start
with some basics.
Who all lives in the house?
My sister and I,
Toni, um,
-I got a picture,
if you wanna see it.
-Yeah.
How long have you guys
lived here?
[Nikki] I've been here
for three years and she's
been here for the last year.
[Steve] Do me a favor
and give me a list
of what you guys
are going through here.
[Nikki] I feel drained,
seeing shadow figures,
and we're getting
physically att*cked,
and me and my sister
are fighting a lot.
How bad are the fights
with you and your sister?
It's really bad.
It got physical.
It did?
She hit me and I hit her.
[Steve] So what makes
you think this is paranormal?
I pretty much raised her
since she was ten years' old
and nothing has
ever happened like this, ever.
So... being you, you recognize
there's something paranormal
and bad is here,
wh...
what do you think it wants?
I think it ultimately wants
to k*ll me slowly,
destroy me.
I have a friend that
actually tucked me in bed.
[chuckles]
It's embarrassing, but...
yeah, uh, she'll turn
the light out for me.
-Are you kidding me?
-Mmm-mmm.
[Nikki sniffles]
It's embarrassing.
It's not embarrassing, it's,
it's a tragic way of living.
[sniffles]
That's hard.
I'm so thankful you're here,
and I'm hoping
to get some answers.
-[Steve] Well, that's what
we're here for.
-I'm relieved.
[Amy] These seven mourners
are an issue
because the way
that they're affecting
me physically
is how I would think the,
the living would feel them.
They make you feel scared,
they're very angry
about something.
I think that the living
would feel this anger.
They may act out on it.
These mourners,
the living may see them,
uh, going back and forth.
[Matthew] What is it that
they're seeing?
[Amy] Possibly shadow figures.
They may have seen, uh,
like a full-on apparition.
[Steve] So what's going on?
I see shadow figures
all over the house.
[Steve] Do they all
look the same?
Can you describe 'em?
They're blacker than black,
the blackest you've ever seen,
and that's them.
You're positive it's not
people walking by or...
-[Nikki] Positive.
-...animals outside,
nothing like that?
I leave all my blinds
closed at night.
The lights will be on
and I'll still see 'em.
[Steve] Do they do anything?
Um, they physically drain me.
And I also think that
they're messing with my mind,
because I'll set a task to do
and I'll go in circles
and do other things before
I can make my way back to it.
-[Steve] All right.
-It's like
I'm scatter brained.
All right, so you got
a lot going on.
What else?
Every single night I wake up
and there are spirits
standing all around me.
When you, when
you say spirits,
-these are all people, right?
-[Nikki] People.
Do they say anything?
A lot of 'em say, "Help me,"
or "I wanna go home."
When you say, they,
how many we talking?
There's about eight
that stand around my bed.
In the past, people that
have had those experience
wind up being mediums.
Has anybody ever, uh,
told you,
you might have mediumship?
No, I've had a lot
of weird things happen,
but nobody's ever
told me that.
[Amy] What is going on?
I feel somebody
with abilities.
I'm feeling somebody
maybe in their s.
I feel longer hair,
she's like a medium.
Like,
I'm seeing the mourners here,
I'm seeing the mourners there,
like coming in, coming in.
The living may see them.
I'm hearing
the dead lady saying,
"Why won't you help us?
Why won't you help us?"
It's very aggressive.
So I'm hearing
a female being like,
"Get the [bleep] away from me.
Get the [bleep] out."
So I think that this
living person is exhausted
from being, you know,
dealing with this
and not getting sleep
and being drained,
and it triggered like
a real illness.
You know what I'm saying?
Like something bad.
[Steve] Anything else?
I've been touched
all over my body.
Okay. So, how are you
being touched and where?
Brush against my shoulder,
tap me on my back,
rub my hair.
Does it feel like
a human hand?
[Nikki] Oh, yeah.
-[Steve] Can you tell
if it's a male or a female?
-No.
Okay, so what else?
And I had a nightmare
and in the nightmare I was...
sexually assaulted,
and I woke up the next morning
and I had bruises all over
my private area.
I've never been
a victim before
and talking about it,
it just, it embarrasses me
that something paranormal
did this to me
and I can't fight back.
Don't be embarrassed,
because I'm listening to you.
Okay? Just...
-[Nikki sniffles]
-I'm not here to judge you.
If Amy says you can't
fix this, you have to leave...
-I'll find a way to leave.
-Okay.
[Nikki] I'll have to,
I can't live like this.
I need you guys, I really do.
[Amy] These mourners are
surrounding the bed
of this person, this female.
They're standing there,
they're standing there.
If this person falls asleep,
it goes bad, it goes sideways.
-[Matthew] What does
that mean?
-Uh, 'cause they can't then,
like, protect themselves.
They're touching
her ankles and...
and her feet.
I think it's the dead lady
who's pushing on the chest,
so
I can't [bleep] breathe now,
like they were
crushed to death.
I think they might be
like trying to k*ll her.
So Toni, Nikki says
you guys have been
at each other's throats.
I mean, how bad has it gotten?
It's gotten
to where it got violent.
She's blaming it all
on the paranormal,
that's one of the reasons
she called us in.
-Mmm-hmm.
-Uh, do you
agree with that?
Yes.
She's turned into someone
and myself also,
um, when we start fighting,
we get so enraged,
and she's never been the type
to be confrontational.
You know lately...
I feel like she hates me.
You know she doesn't.
I know.
[Steve] Okay, can you tell me
about some of the experiences
you've had?
I've seen an apparition
of Nikki's friend, Sean,
who's passed, in the hallway.
Did he look like he was when
he was alive?
Did he look any different?
He looked like
he was when he was alive.
Okay. Now your sister, Nikki
thinks he's here, do you?
I definitely think
Sean's here at times,
I think, that's what's
kept us safe so long.
All right, anything else?
Lately, I've been hearing
a series of like four knocks
on the wall.
-Where?
-From either the wall
in my sister's bathroom
or on the very far wall
in her room.
-How loud is it? Can you,
ca... can you show me?
-[Toni] Yeah,
it's kind of...
[knocks]
-All right.
-And it's four knocks
every time.
And how often would you say
it's happening?
I myself have heard it
five or six different times.
So wh... what,
what do you think is here?
I don't know what's here,
but I would hate to see
my sister leave her home
because, you know,
this was kind of like
her dream home,
and I just want her
to have peace.
Okay.
[Amy] Okay, I can't
with that...
I just... Oh, my God!
I saw some man
who's definitely dead,
uh, and he is like
bouncing off the [bleep] walls
and the ceiling,
making like, thumping noises,
I guess.
[thumping]
Does anybody
who lives here now have
any interaction with him?
Oh, they hear him,
for damn sure
and he's [bleep] pissed.
Like,
I don't even know anybody
who could be in this room,
or like... Oh, my God,
my head's spinning,
he's draining,
very draining energy.
He makes you very agitated,
uh, very dizzy,
scrambles your brain
so you can't think straight.
So, Sherri,
I understand that
you're Nikki's good friend
and you were Sean's...
-Fiancee.
-...fiancee.
-My condolences.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
-Thank you.
Nikki's told me
some crazy stuff
that's going on here.
Yeah.
Have you had experiences yet?
Yeah, I see a tall,
dark, shadow figure
in the house.
I've seen it multiple times.
Does it look like a human?
It's got the outline
of a shoulders, neck,
head but...
Okay.
...I mean, you can't see
anything, it's just black.
Okay, and you don't believe
it's a shadow
-coming in from
the outside somehow.
-No, because we've seen it.
I mean,
we see it at night-time
and there's no way there's
of the shadow coming from
the outside.
-She keeps her blinds closed.
-All right.
All right. So this shadow,
he didn't look
anything like Sean did, right?
-No
-[Steve] Nothing like that?
-No
-Can you physically describe
what, uh, Sean looked like?
Actually,
I have a picture of him
if you wanna see it.
He was a good looking guy.
[Sherri] He was, and he was,
he was a really,
really great person.
You know, it's hard
to talk about,
but Nikki thinks
that whatever's here
might have contributed
to Sean's death.
In a way,
I think maybe it might have.
Now, do you think
he's still around?
Do you think he's here?
I hope not.
[Amy] There's another
dead guy,
and he's like yelling
and screaming.
I don't know if
it was like a neighbor
or like he lived...
I don't know if he lived here
or he lived at that house.
I see like, you know,
uh, brown hair, I think,
and he's, he's you know,
he's a big guy.
This would be,
uh, fairly recent.
There's a lot of anxiety...
fear, panic
and he's yelling 'cause it,
you know, he's having
a heart att*ck.
He was calling it hell.
[Steve] So I just got
a call from an historian
I've worked with before,
he did some digging for me
and hit the jackpot.
Turns out
one of the first owners
of Nikki's property
suffered
a whole bunch of family deaths
from the moment they set
foot on the land.
Before we get into
this family's bad times
on my client's property, uh,
what do we know about it?
The Powell family
is some of the first
to own your client's property.
-Okay.
-Their patriarch was
a man named, Charles Powell.
While they're owning the land,
they have eight kids
and grandkids.
Jesus, that's a lot of kids.
[Steve] I know things
do start to go wrong,
when did that happen?
Pretty much right from
the beginning, Steve.
They buy
the property in ...
-Okay.
-[Matt] ...and by ,
the family has already
experienced three deaths.
The first two were children.
Now, unfortunately,
we do not know their names,
but importantly, in ,
Charles, who was years old
at the time, passes away.
[Steve] Do we know
what he d*ed from?
Unfortunately, no.
Okay, so now...
are things getting
better for them
after all this?
No, in ,
Ellen's daughter, Lizzy
loses a -month-old baby girl
to meningitis.
,
winds up being even worse
for the family.
The oldest son, Thomas...
-[Steve] Okay.
-...he loses his
one-month-old son, Carl,
to whooping cough.
In October,
Lizzie dies of peritonitis,
a ruptured appendix.
[Steve] Ooh! Does it get
any better for these guys?
Well, the s
are pretty quiet
-for the family, Steve...
-[Steve] Okay.
...but really,
that's just kind of the calm
before the storm.
In , a new wave starts.
The family loses
their matriarch, Ellen.
Ellen was , and she dies
from kidney disease.
And then Ed,
he dies at from the flu.
-Oh.
-So a little more
of a surprise.
Of the original eight children
of Charles and Ellen,
there's four left.
Okay, so what happened?
So first off,
William's wife, Etta,
she dies at age
from acute myocarditis.
Interestingly enough,
six years later,
her son, William Jr.,
dies of the same thing
when he's only .
And then finally,
William Sr.,
on his th birthday,
he is k*lled by
a massive heart att*ck.
Okay, so heart disease
in this family runs rampant.
[Matt] Very much so.
And then Lucy's husband,
Isaac, in ,
he dies of a stroke
just to seal that off,
late in ,
Thomas, the oldest son,
he dies also of a stroke.
-These are all
their death certificates?
-That's all of 'em.
[Steve] All right,
so body count,
wh... where are we at,
at this point?
How many?
We're at
over three generations
while they own this property.
I mean,
deaths happen, but this is
a little over the top.
[Amy] I'm seeing
three generations
of dead males,
so the youngest male, uh,
was in his mid to late teens,
the middle male,
which I'm calling him Thomas,
was in his s,
uh, and then the oldest,
uh, male was in his late s,
early s,
and he said it was his land.
They all had g*ns, r*fles.
They were upset
about their land,
uh, and they're always around
watching outside.
And Thomas,
he told me that him
and his boys,
uh, had to fight a lot against
the beggars and natives
for their land,
to protect their land,
I'm thinking.
He would think whatever
they did was like, evil.
[Steve] So I'm heading over to
meet a local TV news reporter.
She reached out to me to
tell me about a deadly flood
that devastated the area.
Said it was so bad,
it left about
a million people homeless.
[Steve] All right,
so this big flood,
when did it happen?
[Leslie] It was January
of ,
an extreme amount
of rainfall fell
and it affected towns
all along the Ohio River.
When we spoke on the phone,
you said,
about a million people
lost their homes,
what, what was the death toll
connected with that?
Approximately d*ed.
[Steve] How did this flood
affect Kentucky?
The amount of rain
that fell that January
was unmatched, and it rained
for days straight.
-Wow.
-The damage
was just widespread,
and I have some pictures
of the towns
that were flooded here.
[Steve] They must have thought
it was the end of the world
when this happened.
Now on the phone,
you mentioned three people
d*ed by my client's property,
tell me about them.
One of those was
-year-old, Harry Crumb.
He was in a boat,
it overturned,
that was ruled
an accidental drowning.
-Okay.
-[Leslie] There was
also a widow,
she was years old,
her name is Martha Callahan.
Her death certificate said
that she d*ed from shock
due to exposure to the flood,
as you can see here.
[Steve] Okay,
so what about the other one?
[Leslie] Fifty-six-year old,
Agnes Jones.
She was just about
a mile and a half
from your client's home.
She was in
a three-story building,
it collapsed,
she d*ed in the collapse,
the building just gave way
due to the severity
of the floodwater.
[Amy] I'm seeing
those mourners again,
so I guess there used to be
some kind of roadway here.
One of the mourners
she's indicating like
they always traveled this road
for the dead.
Like, I don't know
if they're, like,
burying dead people
or they're like giving them,
like, you know,
their final thing.
But they knew
all of each other in life,
they lost a lot of people
at the same time,
very angry about that.
I guess a lot of their friends
and family d*ed
at the same time
because... like something
about the water...
Oh, my God!
So they're pretty pissed
about that.

[Steve] So far, I've got
a client who's convinced
something in her house
k*lled her best friend,
on a property where
one of the previous owners
suffered
tragic family deaths.
But I wanna see
if there's anything else.
Searching through old records,
I find a heartbreaking story
about a one-armed cop
who was brutally m*rder*d
in the line of duty,
not far from Nikki's house.
But what really pisses me off,
it was his last day
on the job.
So I tracked down
the victim's great grandson
who agreed to talk to me.
Now, he says, to this day,
the family's convinced
there was never
any justice in this case.
Jason, thanks for meeting
with me and talking about
something so personal.
Before we get to the m*rder
of your great grandfather,
what did you know about it?
What'd you find out?
My great grandfather,
Clarence,
was a really
respected man, uh,
a pillar of the community
type of individual.
He worked for the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway system
for years.
It was in that line of work
that there was an accident
-where he lost, uh,
part of his left arm.
-Oh!
In , he decides
to reboot his life
and he becomes
a night watchman.
This is in spite
of his disability
and in spite of his age,
he's in his s...
-[Steve] Okay.
-...at that point.
Okay, so now he's
a night watchman
-with the police department.
-Mmm-hmm.
What happens with the m*rder?
What went down?
It was
in the really early hours
of May the th, ,
my great grandfather,
he received a complaint
about a drunk
and disorderly man,
Charles Cameron,
and he was bringing him in
to book in the city jail.
So before they could even
get to the cell,
Charles basically took
advantage
of my great
grandfather's disability.
He was able
to seize control of his g*n...
-Okay.
-...and he fired three sh*ts.
Uh, the first sh*t missed,
the second sh*t went into
the stub of his missing arm,
and the third sh*t went into
the side of his head
and that, as it turns out,
was the fatal sh*t.
[Steve] You know,
there's nothing worse
in the world that
for a cop to get k*lled
with his own g*n.
This guy take off?
Yeah, he takes off,
he's, he's on the run.
There was a big manhunt
that took place
the rest of that day
and overnight,
but he surrendered
the next day.
Okay, so he turns himself in,
interesting.
Now, Jason, did you mention
to me on the phone
that your great grandfather
was like a half hour
or so from retiring?
He was literally
in the last minutes.
So when the chief was coming
in to relieve him,
that should have been
his last time on the job
and he was going to
a safer job after that.
-Done deal.
-[Steve] Oh, my God.
This scumbag who k*lled
your great grandfather
do... does he go to trial,
does he plea out,
what happens?
It goes to trial, uh,
a jury finds him guilty
of manslaughter,
he's given
a six-year sentence.
This is not manslaughter.
I mean, was your family
pissed about this?
Well, I think for his sons
in particular,
that was a really,
really difficult,
um, thing to understand.
Do we know what happens
to him after that at all?
He eventually ends up
back in prison anyway in ,
among the charges this time
were four lascivious acts
with a child,
here's a document
that speaks to that.
But that's where
he spent the rest of his life
was behind bars.
-So he dies in prison.
-He does.
Good, so he finally
got what he deserved
and that had to make
your family feel
a little bit better.
[Amy] I'm seeing that dead guy
who bounces off
the ceiling again.
He doesn't wanna be here,
he didn't wanna come back,
and he's making a racket.
-[Matthew] Is that
affecting you now.
-[Amy] Yeah.
I'm trying to
not engage at all.
Headache... looks like it's...
He's not in a complete form,
he was like,
I think, s maybe.
He had facial hair
and he's [bleep] pissed.
So this dude d*ed,
moved on
and then got pulled back...
but now is staying
and going bat [bleep].
Have you ever seen
anything like this before?
No.
It's freaking me out.
I saw several
disturbing things on my walk,
but two concerned me the most.
First, the crazy guy
who bounces off the ceilings.
He is mostly just energy,
pretty white...
and you can see the movement,
like lines of movement.
Next, I described
the group of mourners
surrounding a living woman
in her bedroom.
The bed is surrounded
by about seven people...
and two of them are men,
uh, and they're definitely
the tallest,
they're dressed
in mourning clothing,
both the men had top hats,
and all the women
were wearing veils.
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.
Um, she's gonna be doing
the reveal from one of your
other bedrooms
so she could focus
on your case
and the dead
without any distractions.
Amy, meet the two sisters
who live here.
This is Nikki here,
and this is her sister, Toni.
Now, these guys
are scared to death,
they believe that
whatever's here
has k*lled before
and it's out for blood again,
so unless
she has any questions,
she'll tell us
about her walk.
I went out to the carport,
I encountered a male,
uh, who was yelling
and screaming, uh, in pain
and it seemed to me,
he was having a heart att*ck.
And I got that this happened
fairly recently,
and this residual energy
is so intense
that I believe,
uh, living people
when they're out there
could feel
like sudden anxiety,
like for no reason,
uh, and fear and panic, uh,
'cause that's what he felt
stro... you know, very much
in that moment outside.
Amy, now's probably
a good time to tell you
what one of the main reasons
Nikki called us in is.
Close friend of hers d*ed
of a heart att*ck recently,
less than a year.
Now, his name was Sean,
he was years old,
uh, he never lived here,
but he was here
all the time, right?
I just feel like
something here
did something to him.
We were fighting that day,
all of a sudden, he just boom.
-And you're
b*ating yourself up about it.
-Yeah.
-Quite a bit.
-[Steve] Yeah.
Tell Amy why you think
Sean's still here.
I... sometimes
I'll hear his voice
and he'll say...
"Nikki, watch out.
Don't trust 'em.
Be careful."
Toni, you just told me you saw
an apparition of Sean.
Yes. I had seen an apparition,
it looked just like Sean.
I mean, only
it was kind of transparent.
Amy, I got a photo
of Sean here.
I'm curious if... maybe...
he's who you saw.
To me, it looked like his hair
would have been longer.
Did he have longer hair?
-No.
-No? It was short?
Yeah, he usually
kept it short.
-Uh, so this could be
somebody else entirely.
-Okay.
It doesn't mean that
he's not coming and going.
That could very well
be the case
or choosing to assist you
as a guide.
So that's
a good thing... right?
Yeah, I feel better
about that. Yeah.
[Steve] What else, Amy?
When I came into this room,
I did encounter, uh,
a deceased male.
[Steve] And that's
Toni's room.
He freaked me out.
And he is like bouncing
off the [bleep] walls
and the ceiling,
making like, thumping
noises, I guess.
[thumping]
You'll hear, like knocks
and they come in sets of four.
And it sounds like they're
on the back wall of the house,
either in my room
or Nikki's room.
I absolutely think
he has an effect
on the living,
obviously hearing
these thumps and things.
But also in here,
extraordinarily draining
energy,
also feeling dizzy
or like, not having
good balance in here.
-Can't think straight.
-I can't get
my thoughts straight.
I'll have something to do
and something
will wipe my mind clear.
I'm very concerned.
She just kind of
just stands there and stares
and... like she's lost.
Nikki, you also told me,
you're drained
-twenty four, seven.
-[Nikki] I'm so tired
all the time.
If I set out to do a task,
somebody drains me.
It... I feel it instantly.
It feels like the life
has been sucked out of me.
The interesting thing though,
about this male, is that
he is someone
who did move on
when he d*ed.
While he was transitioning,
-he got pulled back...
-Ha!
[Amy] ...and he's
trapped here.
He's very upset about this.
He is angry,
and his anger
is starting con...
to consume you.
-[Steve] Who? Toni?
-[Amy] Toni, yeah.
Well, you know,
one of the biggest problems
that, that we talked about
when I interviewed them was
the anger, right?
It was causing
you two to fight.
I get angry for no reason.
I could flip the table
and punch a hole
through the wall.
There's definitely
some energetic exchange here
between you and him,
and you're absorbing
a lot of his
anger and negativity.
-[Steve] You're okay?
-[Toni] Mmm-hmm.
I did have a sketch done
of what I saw.
He's more of an energy form.
Oh, yeah.
Freaks me out.
[Nikki] I've seen this.
-What have you seen?
-I've seen him.
I've seen this, exactly.
That's kinda
how my mind feels.
[Steve] What else
on your walk, Amy?
Anything?
Now I'm gonna talk about
these other dead people
that I encountered.
There are seven
of these people.
They were all dressed
in old fashioned
mourning wear,
which is all black.
At some point, their family
and friends were dying
left and right.
They indicated that
it had something
to do with water.
The living would see them,
especially going through
the house.
So I felt like, yeah,
you guys would probably see
like these shadow type
figures.
I see them all the time,
all the time,
and it's just right out
the corner of my eye
and it's gone.
Now, I might have an idea
of who these mourners are.
In January of , there was
a massive storm here.
In fact, it rained and poured
for days straight.
Now, the Ohio river is, what,
just a mile away
from the house,
and it flooded big time.
It was felt
all across the Midwest,
from Pennsylvania,
all the way to Illinois.
I've actually got
some photos here.
-Holy cow!
-[Steve] Yeah.
Now, Amy, when it was
all said and done,
-nearly a million people
were left homeless.
-[Amy] Wow!
Three hundred and fifty
were dead.
A few of those victims
were right here
near the house.
Now, do you think
those mourners
you were talking about
might be victims of the flood?
It... it's a possibility
that they knew
family and friends
who d*ed in the flood.
It didn't seem like any
of them were the victims
of the "water."
So then I went into
the back bedroom to the left.
-[Steve] So that's your room,
right Nikki?
-Yes, it is.
So I went in there...
and I did not like
what they're doing to you.
I got that you are
in fact, a medium...
and they are pissed.
I heard something like
you telling them
to get the [bleep] out
and leave you alone.
I did.
So they're upset about that
because they're
coming to you for help
and you're not helping them.
[Nikki] I knew I was medium.
I, I wanted to hear you
confirm it
that I wasn't crazy, honestly.
I've heard him ask for help.
asked,
"Nikki, help me."
I don't know how.
I don't know how to help him,
and I want to, I really do.
And being exposed
to that energy over time
can make you physically ill.
And I was worried that
it had already triggered
some kind of chronic illness.
Um, I found a knot
in my breast last year.
That... yeah, I was
worried about that.
That's from
the exposure to them.
I'm okay. I'm,
I'm good now, I just
I didn't want anybody
know about it.
I was ashamed.
I just wanted to...
be numb. [sobs]
Do you have an idea your
sister might be a medium
or is this like the first
you're hearing of it?
She would get agitated.
She's like,
"Don't you hear him?
Don't you see that?"
And I'm like, no,
and she's like, "You can't
tell me you don't."
And she would get...
-Nobody understands.
-...enraged if I don't.
Well, you even have
your friend
tuck you in at night
-sometimes.
-It's so bad,
um, it's so embarrassing.
I'm years old,
this is just, uh, nuts.
Like, I have my friends
come over and they take turns.
[sniffles]
Turning off my light
for me because
I can't turn my
light switch off
and walk to my
bed in the dark.
I did see the whole... like,
them waking you
when you're asleep
and you can't move.
I had a sketch done of,
of what I saw.
You live this, I don't.
That's exactly, it. Yes.
[Toni speaking]
[Steve] Amy, it,
it looks like they're
going after her physically.
-[Steve] Is that,
is that what's happening?
-[Amy] Yes.
[Nikki] That's exactly
what I live every day.
Now they're like, getting
aggressive with you,
-um, and their intentions
are not good.
-Yeah.
I saw the woman, like
putting her hands together
and like, leaning onto
your chest.
She was getting so intense
with the, the pressure
on your chest,
and I'm like, I think she
might be trying to k*ll you.
-She wants me, I feel it.
She wants me dead.
-[Amy] Yeah.
Well, you've had all kinds
of physical att*cks, you know?
Mmm-hmm. I get touched
all the time.
Just a few minutes ago
when you all were talking,
I felt somebody
grab my arm.
Yeah, that could be them.
I had a dream
that I was being...
sexually assaulted,
and I looked down
and I had little fingerprints
all over the insides
of my thighs and my...
private area was bruised
and scratched,
and it, it was bad.
And I, I'm thinking, well,
what if my dream
was a reality?
Everything that she's
told me, you've pretty much
verified so far.
And that scares
the hell out of me
because she says on a daily,
"Toni, I think they're
trying to k*ll me.
They want me dead."
[Steve] So look,
the good news is,
you're not crazy.
You got a lot going on here.
Bad news is, you got
a lot going on here.
Now to answer
the big question,
can you stay and fight back
and kick all the dead out,
and go back to being
loving sisters?
For that answer, I'm going to
turn it over to Amy.
I want a male medium
to come here.
He's going to make contact
directly with these mourners,
and he's going to
find out specifically
what they even need help with
in order to move on.
Then I'd like him
and a male witch to come back,
and they will move on
all of the mourners.
Then once that's completed,
they're going to, uh,
move on the semi-transitioned,
trapped male.
Toni, while that's happening,
I want you to work
with a healer.
She'll be working on you
to remove any, uh, energy,
uh, between you and him,
and cut any cords
uh, that may have been
established between
you and him.
At the end of all of this,
these people, if you want
to work with them,
will be able to help you
learn about your abilities.
So, one... once they
get control of the dead
that come in and out of here,
her feeling drained
all the time,
that'll start to come back,
-where she'll feel better
and get some more sleep.
-Oh, God! Yeah, yeah.
You'll get some sleep,
you'll feel a lot better.
Uh, you know, for Toni,
the anger will go away.
I'm ready, yeah, I'm,
I'm ready to get this done.
I look forward to us healing
and getting better,
and I'm, I'm glad
there's something
we can do about it.
I wanted us to be at peace
with each other,
not at each other's throats.
It's doable now.
It's just...
some of the best news
I've ever heard.
I love you guys for this.
You're lifesaving, you are...
It means
the world to me,
I don't know how to
thank you guys, like...
Life changing.
[Amy] Nikki and Toni
have a lot of work
ahead of them,
but I believe if they bring in
a medium and a witch,
they can move on the dead
that are tormenting them.
Once they're gone,
they should be able
to heal their relationship
and find the peace
they've been
desperately looking for.
