08x03 - Eternal Grief

Post by bunniefuu »

Narrator:
a family moves into their dream
home and is given fair warning.

I had the locks changed
because of intruders.

Can we be friends?

But when their 4-year-old

Begins interacting
with a stranger...

Jacob did this.

Shylin was seeing something
that we couldn't.

Narrator: is it a prowler?

Craig!

Or an evil ghost

With a burning vendetta?

Craig: kimberly.
Oh, my gosh.

Kimberly: there was a bite mark
on her shoulder

With "666" branded next to it.

You want to protect your kid

And you can because
you can't see what's there.

Narrator: the battle lines
are drawn between good and evil.

In america,
there is real evil.

It lurks in the darkest shadows
and in our most ordinary towns.

Between the world we see
and the things we fear,

There are doors.

And when they are opened,

Nightmares become reality.

On the outskirts of
the capital city of des moines,

Lies a town surrounded
by flat farmland

As far as the eye can see.

It's a mere speck on the map --
population 303.

Linda adkins has lived
in the area her entire life.

In 2006, she moved to bagley,

When her husband built them
a brand-new farmhouse.

Grandma.
Oh.

Look what we made you.
Let me see.

When her husband passed away,

Linda offered to sell it to her
grandson craig and his family

At a low price.

Thanks for watching
my girls.

Linda: oh, thank you.
We had such a good time.

Girls, if you're gonna play
in the yard,

I don't want you to go
near the woods.

Narrator:
craig's new bride, kimberly,
is thrilled for herself

And her two young daughters,
shylin and zelina.

Kimberly:
we decided to move down here

And give the kids a place to run
out on an acreage.

And craig and I
were both ecstatic.

Narrator: before departing,

Craig's grandmother
offers a word of caution.

Now, before I forget,
these are the new keys.

I had the locks changed
because of intruders.

All right.
Intruders? Out here?

Well,
you can't be too careful.

The highway's not very far
from here.

Well, thank you.

Bye-bye.

Narrator: despite the warning,
the house is a dream come true.

I really cared about the house.

It was like a new beginning.

I should probably go unpack
more.

Narrator: craig works
in window manufacturing

In one of the last remaining
factories in town.

Bagley was first settled in 1881

With the building
of a railroad station.

By the turn of the century,

It became a thriving industrial
town, until the railroad closed.

One by one,
the factories disappeared.

Craig: I grew up in bagley.

There used to be plants
and factories

And gas stations in the town.

They've all closed down.

Narrator: but despite
the town's depressed past,

For craig and his new bride,

The four-bedroom house
marks a new beginning.

Kimberly:
when you walk in the home,

You enter to almost 40-foot
vaulted ceiling, straight up.

And it's all open.

It was just amazing.

Narrator: kimberly and craig
met a few months ago

And instantly hit it off.

Kimberly:
we met on an online dating site,

And as soon as he met me
and the girls,

We just knew it was meant to be
for our family.

Do you have an ace?

Aww.

[ Laughter ]

Mom is getting a lot.

It's still mommy's turn.

Craig: it was just kind of
a mutual connection.

We fell in love within seconds
of talking.

Do you have a king?

Unfortunately, I do.

Okay, fantastic.
I'm gonna go again.

Do you have a 3?

No.

Oh.

Kimberly:
it was just an instant fit.

It was like putting a piece
of the puzzle -- last piece in.

What's your favorite part
of the house?

The playroom
because it has all the toys,

And that's the most fun,
the toys.

Mine was the playroom,
too.

This home -- it was somewhere

That we were gonna raise
the two kids

For the rest of their life.

Narrator:
the family settles in,

But it doesn't take long for
kimberly, a stay-at-home mom,

To feel like she's not alone.

Girls, I know I told you
to pick up your toys.

I felt like somebody
was watching us.

Kind of got that feeling to look
over your shoulder all the time,

That somebody was standing
right behind you.

And you would look over,
and there would be nobody there.

And I thought it was just me
trying to get used to a new home

And I was just on edge.

Narrator: kimberly
tries to ignore her instincts,

But each day, the feeling
that someone is in the house

Grows stronger.

Kimberly: come on, shylin.
Into bed.

Do fish take naps, too?

I'm sure they do, sweetie,
if their mommies ask them to.

All right, let's go.

Kimberly: I was laying the girls
down for a nap --

Normal nap time, normal routine.

Right there.

All right,
got your blanket?

Okay.

Will you please
leave the light on?

Of course, sweetie,
just like always.

[ Door slams ]

[ Laughter ]

As soon as I got out of the
room, the door slammed on me.

[ Laughter ]

Girls,
what's going on?

At first,
I thought it was the girls,

But then I realized that they
were laying down on their bed

And there's no way
they could have done that.

[ Laughter continues ]

I realized the window was open.

I thought maybe the wind could
have slammed the door shut.

I didn't think too much of it.

[ Laughter ]

Okay, nap time for real
this time.

[ Laughter continues ]

Narrator:
a few days later,


Has made a new friend.

Shylin: hi.
What's your name?

This is my doll.

I put this dress on her
'cause she loves pink.

And she also has like
three other friends

That I like dressing up, too.

Where did you come from?

You don't talk much.

I'm shylin.
Can we be friends?

Kimberly: I heard shylin
talking in the playroom.

Shylin:
you like your doll?

It was like she was talking to
somebody that was sitting there.

Shylin: here, her dress
is so pretty, right?

Kimberly:
but nobody was there.

Kimberly: can I join in?

Sure.
I guess so.

Jacob won't mind.

Who's jacob?

My new friend.

Where did you meet him?

He was walking
around the house,

So I asked him his name,
and he said his name was jacob.

Narrator:
kimberly is stunned,

And to her horror,
shylin describes the man

In surprising detail.

Kimberly: she said he was tall
and that he was very dirty

And he had dark hair
and he had dark coveralls on.

He wears torn-up
work clothes,

And he also wears boots,
a little bit like daddy.

And he had work boots on
like her daddy's.

He lives here,
so we're friends now.

Narrator: kimberly doesn't know
what to think.

Is it possible shylin's
been seeing

One of intruders craig's
grandmother warned about?

That night,
she brings it up with craig.

How was your day?

Girls liking
the new place okay?

Well, shylin
has an imaginary friend.

Oh.

Apparently,
his name is jacob.

Jacob, huh?

Well, she's just using
her imagination.

I don't know.
It was weird.

She talked about him
like he was real.

I mean, she even told me

That he was wearing a coverall
and boots, like you.

Like me, huh?

Honey,
don't worry about it.

Just having fun.

Let's get some sleep,
okay?

Got to get up early.

Craig:
when she told me that,

I just thought shylin
was being a normal kid.

[ Floorboards creaking ]

Craig.
Hmm.

Did you hear something?

No.

Craig!

Narrator:
ever since craig adkins,

His new bride, kimberly,
and her two daughters

Moved into craig's
grandparents' house in iowa,

Kimberly can't shake the feeling
they are not alone.

Kimberly: I felt like somebody
was watching us.

Kind of got that feeling to look
over your shoulder all the time.

[ Door slams, laughter ]

Shylin: this is my doll.

Can I join in?
Sure.

Jacob won't mind.

Narrator: and when her


Says she's befriended a man
in the house,

Kimberly grows concerned.

Kimberly: shylin told us
her new friend's name was jacob.

She told us
that he had coveralls on

And that he looked like
he worked and that he was dirty.

Narrator: could jacob be more
than an imaginary playmate?

Craig!

I looked up
and seen a shadow of a man,

And I thought
we were gonna be attacked.

Hey!

I immediately went into
dad mode.

I went after this guy.

Kimberly: I was petrified.

I thought somebody
was in our house

And we were dead that night.

Narrator: after a thorough
search of the house,

Craig finds no intruder
and nothing missing.

Craig breaks the news
to kimberly.

Hey, hey.

I checked the whole house,
all right?

I checked everything.
There's nobody here.

No, I saw someone,
craig.

Honey, honey, listen.
I did, too.

I checked everything --
everything is locked up tight.

We're safe, all right?

Well, I'm gonna sleep
with the girls tonight

Because I don't want them
to be alone.

Listen, there's nothing
to worry --

Everything's gonna be fine.

We thought
it was somebody breaking in,

And no alarms went off, and
all the doors were still locked.

Narrator:
to set the family at ease,

Craig changes all the locks.

Kimberly: he just did
what a husband would do --

He figured he works nights, he
didn't want somebody coming in.

Narrator: but for kimberly,
it's still not enough.

Kimberly:
I went from the terrorized
fear stage to the angry stage.

I was mad because I felt like
I was not protecting my kids.

From that moment on, I kept
a more close eye on the girls.

Narrator:
for the next few weeks,

The family tries to focus on
life as usual.

Kimberly: I just tried
to ignore the activity

And get our life back
to the way it was.

Narrator: spring arrives with
the promise of new beginnings.

But inside the house,
something is still not right.

Kimberly: did you see
some dolphins?

Yeah.

What was your favorite animal
at the zoo?

I liked the monkeys.

Craig, get in here!

Mommy, my fish.

Kimberly:
we went into the bedroom to go
watch a movie with the girls,

And the whole room

Was just completely ransacked,
just trashed.

What happened?

I don't know.
Oh, my gosh.

What's going on?

It was just a complete mess,

And it looked like a tornado
had came through there.

We knew it couldn't have been
the kids.

Whole house is locked,
kimberly.

You walked in here
and it was like this?

Yes.

Kimberly: there was no way

Somebody entered that home.

Narrator: but one person knows
who was behind this -- shylin.

I know who did this.

Sweetie, mommy and daddy
are talking right now.

But I know who did this.
Okay, sweetheart.

Jacob did this.

Jacob is shylin's
supposed imaginary friend.

Shylin: I'm shylin.

Here's your doll.

What do you want
to name her?

Narrator:
craig is not amused.

Baby,
jacob couldn't do this.

If he did,
he'd be a naughty boy, right?

See, jacob, I told you.
You're naughty.

Kimberly: shylin turned around
and looked at something

That was
straight in front of us.

I was just completely shocked,
couldn't even get words out.

Shylin was seeing something
that we couldn't.

Narrator:
for the next few days,

Kimberly is constantly on edge
and begins to wonder

If the shadow of the man they've
been seeing around the house

Is a ghost.

Kimberly: at this point,
I was stressed, very nervous.

I knew something
was going on in the home.

I mean,
when you see stuff moved,

When you see things flipped,
when you hear things,

You know something's going on.

And what else do you say?
It's haunted.

Narrator: fear is now part
of the family's daily routine.

And the newlyweds' relationship
begins to unravel.

What are we gonna do?

About what?

We were all very stressed
about what as going on.

Kim and I started fighting,
and that was not like us at all.

About the house, craig.
Something is obviously going on.

Kimberly:
and I told him that this was
more than just unusual things,

That something
was seriously wrong.

He wanted to protect me
and the girls,

And he just didn't know how
to do it.

Did you move this?

Craig: she turned around and
asked me why I moved the pan.

I was like,
"I didn't move the pan."

Honey, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Hey, kimberly.

Come here.

Listen, come here.
I know you're scared.

I am, too, and I know there's
something going on here,

I just -- I don't know.

Craig.
Craig, it moved again.

Kimberly: all of a sudden, the
pan started moving by itself.

[ Pan clatters ]

Hey, mom, I wanted --
shylin!

Narrator: soon after moving
into an iowa farmhouse,

A family of four begins sensing
a stranger is in the house.

But when craig and kimberly go
after the intruder, he vanishes.

Is he a prowler or a ghost?

Kimberly's 4-year-old daughter,
shylin,

Describes the man as
a mischievous, imaginary friend.

But what started as
the innocent musings of a child

Has turned violent.

Hey, mom, I wanted --

Shylin!

Suddenly...

[ Pan clatters ]
[ gasps ]

...the pan started
flying towards us.

Jacob, you stop.

Jacob?
Kimberly: we were very scared.

Get her out of here.
Come on, sweetie.

When you see stuff moved,
when you get attacked,

You know something's going on.

Narrator: craig begins to wonder
if the home is haunted.

But there is nothing in its past

To explain the presence
of a ghost.

His grandparents built the house
just a few years ago,

And were the only ones
who ever lived there.

I wanted to know how it could be
happening in a new built house,

When nobody's ever died
in the house.

Narrator: kimberly and craig
decide to research

The history of the property.

Kimberly: so, we went down
to the public library,

And I couldn't find anything
in public records,

So I started talking
to the secretary.

She had to be in her 80s.

Craig: did you find records
on our house?

I'm sorry.
I couldn't find a thing.

You know, we actually don't have
anything before 1950.



The town really didn't have
a records office until then.

But I do know
this property.

You do?
Mm-hmm.

Isn't right off
the highway?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Well, I can remember
when they tore down

That old chemical plant,
what was left of it.

Chemical plant?

Oh, yes.

Kimberly: she told me she lived
in town most of her life,

And she was telling us
about a plant that burned down.

Narrator: it turns out
the chemical plant

Was located
on the very same land

Where their house now stands.

Anyway, that plant brought
so much work to this town.

It was just really sad
when it burned down.

Well,
how did it burn down?

I don't think they ever found
out the cause, really,

But my husband one of the first
firemen that responded.

And three young men
lost their lives in that fire.

[ Coughs ]

Help!

Hey! Help me!

Anybody!

[ Coughs ]

It was a terrible,
terrible accident.

I'm sorry.

I'll hope
you'll be happy there anyway.

This really hit the town hard

Because one was 18 or 19 and
the other one was in his 20s.

She only knew two names -- one
was joshua, and one was jacob.

Hey! Help!

Jacob did this.

Who's jacob?

My new friend.

This was really the moment
for us that it all clicked.

We knew there was a ghost
and that his name was jacob.

We knew this kid was real.

Narrator:
kimberly and craig are horrified

At the way jacob and other
young men met their fate.

Kimberly: we were upset,

And we really didn't know
what to expect with jacob.

We didn't know
if he was trying to contact us

Or if he was trying hurt us.

Narrator: the family
decides to pray for jacob,

Hoping this will help him
rest in peace.

Craig: felt pretty bad.

He was only 18 years old
when I died.

Kimberly: me and the girls
went and bought flowers,

And we put them on the side end
of our house.

All right, well, let's all say
a prayer now for jacob.

Close your eyes.

Lord, we just want thank you
for jacob,

And we pray
as we lay him to rest

That you would
just grant him peace,

And we pray that you would bless
the rest of this day

And keep us safe.

Amen.

All right,
let's get you guys back inside.

Come on, girls.

I'll race you.

Kimberly: I told jacob that
I was sorry for what happened...

But our family
wasn't trying to hurt him.

And then everything stopped.
The house went quiet.

I was more than hopeful
things were gonna get better.

I thought he would just go away.

[ Sighs ] okay.

Narrator:
but will faith alone be enough
to stop jacob's terror?

[ Girl screams ]

Narrator:
for more "a haunting," visit...

Narrator: for months,
a ghost named jacob

Has been haunting the iowa home

Of newlyweds craig and kimberly
and her two daughters.

Craig, it moved again.

Hey, mom.
Shylin!

[ Pan clatters ]

[ Gasps ]

Narrator: according
to the local librarian,

Jacob lost his life on their
land in a chemical factory fire

In 1936 when he was just 18.

Craig:
people died on that property.

I had no idea
what to think after that.

Narrator:
to make peace with the ghost,

Kimberly builds
a makeshift memorial for him

And prays for his soul.

Thank you for jacob,
and we...

We were really hoping that by
telling jacob that we were sorry

And that we'll never forget him,
that it'd just make it go away.

I was more than hopeful things
were gonna get better.

Narrator:
but the family quickly realizes

That hope is a weak defense

Against jacob's
supernatural powers.

Kimberly: me and craig
was cuddled up in bed...

Girls were sound asleep...

[ Girl screams ]

[ Breathing heavily ]
it's the girls.

All of a sudden, I heard
these blood-curdling screams.

I ran over there.
Craig ran over there.

Girls, what's wrong?
What happened?

Mommy,
the bad man's back.

What?

What bad man?
You mean jacob?

Did he hurt you?

No. He said...

What did he say?

He said he was gonna k*ll you
and k*ll daddy.

All right, come here,
sweetie.

She told us that jacob
was going to k*ll us.

Kimberly: even though
I was telling my daughter

That jacob couldn't harm us,
I knew that he could.

I was terrified.
I didn't know what to do.

Narrator: that night,
kimberly and craig

Move the girls
into their bedroom

To keep a close eye on them.

Craig:
we started getting into it.

You know
this isn't a real solution.

I know.
Of course I know that.

Let's just get through tonight,
okay?

Kimberly:
we were on eggshells.

We were all very stressed,

And it wasn't with each other

Because when we were outside
the house, our family was happy.

And when you entered that home,
you felt your energy drain.

Get some sleep.
Okay.

I'll stay up and keep watch,
all right?

Craig was trying
to hold a brave face,

But he didn't know what to do.

He wanted to protect us,
but how?

We knew we needed
professional help.

And if we didn't get that help,

We were afraid jacob
was gonna hurt somebody.

Narrator:
the family reaches out

To paranormal research &
investigations fort dodge

For help.

Walker:
when I spoke with kimberly,

She was desperate,
but she wasn't showing it.

I told her that was good
not to show fear.

You set?
We're good to go.

Immediately, I knew george
was a trustworthy person

And that he was gonna help
our family.

Narrator:
for their safety, kimberly's
daughters are not present.

While one member uses
an infrared video camera

And attempts to capture
electronic voice phenomena,

The lead investigator
takes his position

On the floor against a wall.

Walker: I will not expose myself


Because I will be vulnerable for
any attack anywhere around me.

I'm speaking to the spirit
in this house.

I'm not here to torment you.

I'm here to ask for your help.

Do you understand?

I tried to hold a conversation
with whatever is there.

Let me know you're here.

My goal is to try and find out

The reason
why they're earthbound.

Narrator:
hours pass, when suddenly...

I think I see something.

Hey, george, come here.

I caught at least three
different irregular anomalies.

I enhanced it,
and I cleaned it up, and...

Narrator:
it appears to be a human face.

You could see the outline
of his forehead,

His nose, his mouth, his chin,
and his neck.

It was definitely a face.

Kimberly: the picture that
we were looking at was jacob.

He showed himself.

Narrator:
based on the tragic history

Of what took place here,

George has a theory about
why jacob is haunting the home.

I believe that jacob was angry
because of the way he died.

Help! Hey!

[ Coughs ]

He wasn't ready
to leave this world.

I don't think anyone
would want to be burned alive.

I think it would be
a horrible death.

And that's why
he was haunting us.

He was angry to see somebody
so happy in the house,

Being so young, when he didn't
get that time to live.

Walker: he had a vendetta
against society itself.

Narrator:
george advises the family
to find a religious leader

To cleanse the home
of the evil jacob.

But until that time,
kimberly and her daughters

Continue sleeping
in the same bedroom

While craig keeps watch
just outside.

We were scared that jacob
was becoming aggressive,

And we didn't know
what was gonna happen next.

Craig: I knew that jacob
was after my family.

[ Screams,
breathing heavily ]

Honey?
Oh, my god.

All of a sudden, I looked up

And see blood dripping
off our ceiling.

Get the girls!

Wake up, girls.

[ Girl screams ]

Narrator: for months, a young
family has been terrorized

By the ghost of jacob...

He said he was gonna k*ll you
and k*ll daddy.

...a teenager who was burned
alive on their property

Over 70 years ago.

Paranormal experts
advise the family

To have the house cleansed
of the spirit

Before he grows angrier.

But help won't come soon enough.

[ Screams,
breathing heavily ]

I asked craig what was dripping
off our ceiling.

It was blood, coming through
from the other side.

Get the girls!

Wake up, girls.

Kim and I were terrified.

Kimberly:
I though jacob was trying to
tell us this could be us next.

We were freaked out.

We got the girls up, we left.

Narrator: for the next few days,
the family stays with relatives.

We really felt like jacob
was trying to show us

That he was more powerful
than us.

We knew if we didn't get help,

We were afraid jacob
was gonna hurt somebody worse.

Narrator: kimberly
meets with a demonologist

To perform a cleansing

To rid the house
of any negative entities.

She prepared me
before I even went in with her.

She told me that
it was gonna get very violent.

We may see things today
that you'll want to forget.

Just read and ignore anything
else that's going on.

Narrator: the demonologist
has prepared a reading

That includes passages
from the bible

Meant to drive the dark spirit
from their home.

In thee, o lord,
I take refuge.

Both: let me nevermore be
confounded.

Kimberly: she and I read from
a scripture, blessing the home.

Both: be unto me
a rock of protection.

Kimberly: she told me
straight up, "keep reading.

"Do not detour from the script.

If you do, it's gonna be worse."

Both: in thee, o lord,
I take refu--

Kimberly: a table slid
across the whole room.

I was terrified.

It's okay.
Keep praying, please.

Keep praying.
Keep praying.

Both: let me nevermore
be confounded.

Deliver me.

Bow down thine ear to me,

And make haste to rescue me.

Be unto me
a rock of protection,

A fortified stronghold, for thou
art my rock and my fortress.

Kimberly: things
were getting thrown at us.

It was becoming
more and more chaotic.

Both:
bow down thine ear to me.

In thee, o lord, I take refuge.

Be unto me a rock of protection,

A fortified stronghold
to save me.

Narrator: then silence.

Amen.

Let's go.

Kimberly:
once she was completely done,
it was like peace in the house.

Every dark, dark room

Seemed to be like three
or four shades lighter.

Like, nothing was there anymore.

Narrator:
kimberly is in disbelief.

Could jacob really be gone?

Days pass,
and life remains tranquil.

Kimberly:
I had the girls come back home.
They slept in their beds.

We were at peace.

I felt like I got my house back.

Narrator: kimberly attempts
to resume life as usual.

Kimberly:
me and the girls were playing...

What happened
to the light?

Uh-oh.
It must be going to rain.

All of a sudden,
the whole house just went dark.

You couldn't see anything,
and it was broad daylight out.

And you could just tell
something evil was in the home.

Girls, come here.

Narrator: in an instant,
kimberly's hopes are dashed.

This is the last straw.

At that point,
I couldn't handle much more.

Stop it!

Why can't you just leave us
alone?!

I was at my wits' end,

And I just freaked out on jacob
and told him to stop.

Please just leave us alone.
Please leave us alone.

And the whole went light.

Narrator: that night,
when craig returns from work,

Kimberly confronts him.

Oh.
Thank goodness you're back.

The house went dark, and it was
like -- it was pitch black.

I'm telling you,
jacob is back.

What are you talking about?
I thought we took care of this.

No, he's still here.
I want to leave.

Calm down.
Please.

Kimberly: I was really upset
about what was going on.

I knew this was jacob.

Narrator: craig tries his best
to calm kimberly down,

But each of them knows
they're trapped.

You know we can't move,
okay?

Craig:
we had talked about moving,
but we couldn't afford it.

We just put a bunch of money
in the house.

Kimberly: we knew
if we walked out of the house,

We were gonna lose everything
that we had.

We didn't have somewhere else
to go.

You smell that?

Narrator: suddenly, the couple
smells something foul.

I know that smell.

Craig immediately recognizes
the odor -- farm fertilizer.

My husband, he's done farming
for a long time.

He said it was identical.

Narrator: but it's as if
the fertilizer is burning.

Oh, my god!
The girls' room!

Kimberly:
it almost smelled like gas,
like chemicals being cooked.

Girls?!
What the hell?

I can't open it.

Girls, can you hear me?!
Shylin! Zelina!

Narrator: in a house
outside of des moines, iowa,

A family is terrorized
by a violent ghost

Who died
in a chemical factory fire

On their land decades earlier.

Both:
bow down thine ear to me.

Narrator: a paranormal expert
is brought in

To cleanse the house
of the evil entity.

Kimberly:
once she was completely done,

It was like nothing
was there anymore.

Woman: amen.

We were very desperate
just to be done

And our life
back to the way it was.

Narrator:
a few days after the cleansing,

Kimberly and craig suddenly
smell something usual --

Anhydrous ammonia.

Kimberly: it just smelled like
chemicals being cooked.

It smelled just like anhydrous.

You couldn't even hardly
breathe in there,

And you were coughing
and gagging.

The girls' room!

Craig:
it just smelt really bad.

I knew exactly
that it was anhydrous.

Girls?!
What the hell?

I can't open it.
Oh, my god.

Girls, can you here me?!
Are you okay?!

[ Coughs ]

Narrator: anhydrous ammonia is a
common agricultural fertilizer,

The kind of chemical
that would have been fabricated

In the plant
where jacob died.

Craig: zelina!

Go! [ Sobbing ]

What the hell?
There's nothing here.

Narrator:
there's no smoke, no fire.

Where's zelina?

Shylin, shylin, wake up.
Zelina.

Where's your sister?

I don't know.
Zelina, where are you, girl?

Are you okay?

Honey, come here.

Are you okay?
Watch out, watch out.

It hurts, daddy.
It hurts.

What hurts, baby?
What hurts?

Oh, my god, craig!

Kimberly.
Oh, my god.

There's something
on her back.

Oh, my god.
What is this?

There was a bite mark
on her shoulder

With "666" branded next to it.

Oh, my god.

Craig:
it was etched into her skin.

Kimberly: what happened?

Jacob did it.

It was scary.
It made me angry.

It's okay.
I'm so sorry, baby.

Seeing my daughter like that,
I felt like I failed as a dad.

Kimberly: I was trying
to tell her it's okay.

All I could do is hold her
in my arms.

Narrator: but jacob isn't
through with the family yet.

[ Rumbling ]

Oh, my god.
Look at that.

Kimberly:
we heard machinery noise.

Honey, get shylin.

Shylin, get out of bed.
Come on, come on.

Come on, girls.
Get her out of here.

Go, go!
Let's go. Let's go!

[ Girl screams ]
oh, my god.

Craig: we didn't know
what was happening.

Things were flying at us
from every direction.

[ Screaming ]

Jacob was after my family,

And he was not going
to leave us alone.

Kimberly:
anything and everything
was moving in that house.

You would have thought
you were in a tornado.

Craig:
this was just the last straw.

We had to get out of there.

Kimberly: he told me to grab the
girls and get them in the car,

And we left that night.

Jacob was trying to get us
out of our home, and he won.

Narrator: the family
seeks refuge with relatives,

Where they are currently staying

Until they save up enough money
for a new home.

Craig: we decided that
as along as our family was safe

That it didn't matter
where we lived.

It was very hard just
to walk away from the house

That my grandfather had built.

That was supposed to be
our house.

Narrator:
craig and kimberly have no plans
to put the house up for sale.

Kimberly: it's probably
gonna get bulldozed.

Nobody is ever gonna go through

What we've been through
at that house.

Jacob was beyond
the point of evil.

Walker: I believe that jacob's
still in the house.

This spirit was determined

To have vengeance on anyone
and everyone in this world

Because of the way he died.

He's placing the blame on us.

Narrator: while jacob remains
trapped in his fiery hell,

The family has grown stronger.

Craig!

We feel like we can get through
anything now.

Kimberly: we did face evil,
and we won.

We lost nothing.

We could be living in a box
and I wouldn't care.

A house is a house.

It's sticks and nails and boards
and windows.

That's it.

As long as my family is happy,
that's all that matters.
