02x07 - Ranch From Hell

Post by bunniefuu »

NARRATOR: Tonight on
Beyond Skinwalker Ranch.

MELINDA X: It's like
the angel of death

lives here or something.

We were stuck.

Everybody died.

MAN: It did get to
a point where she

refused to be out here anymore.

Look at this.

Where is it all coming from?

MAN: Three, two, one.

[rocket launches]

The GPS tracker is pointing
you towards the house right now?

MAN: There shouldn't be
a signal in this house.

NARRATOR: For years,
scientists have

been working to reveal the
secrets of Skinwalker Ranch.

But is it possible
that the clues

to unlock the
mystery are located

beyond the borders of this
hub of high strangeness?

Wow.

NARRATOR: Now, an ex-CIA
agent and a veteran journalist

have been recruited
by the Skinwalker team

to go on a high stakes
mission across America.

Look at all this
activity that's happening.

MAN: That's unbelievable.
- That is right over our heads.

That's it.
That's it right there.

NARRATOR: The goal,
uncover evidence that

may finally expose the truth.

MAN: How is this happening?

MAN: Now, It's going
to get interesting.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE:
Look, it's moving.

Look at that.

MAN: This is just the beginning.

Paul and Andy, it's good to
have you back at the ranch.

I understand you've got another
interesting location to visit.

So tell us what you got planned.

Not only is it an
interesting story, frankly,

it's a disturbing one.

There's a ranch in Taos, where a
woman has a series of tragedies

and claims for maybe
the origin or reasons

behind these tragedies that I
don't know how else to put it.

It's very creepy and
disturbing material.

Where exactly is Taos?

PAUL BEBAN: Taos is in
Northern New Mexico.

It's really at the tail
end of the San Luis Valley,

which is an anomaly corridor.

We have these strong
correlations between Taos

and Skinwalker Ranch.

The woman, who is our
principal point of contact,

has reported strange
sightings and energy anomalies

that affected them physically.
- Yeah.

She seems to think
that there's some kind

of malevolent presence,
even a demon, that might be

at this ranch house that
she and her husband owned,

where the husband
actually passed away.

They think it impacted
their health long

before the husband passed away.

She talks about abductions
for multiple years at a time.

What kind of abductions
are we talking about?

She seems to think there
is some kind of portal

that, whatever this is,
is moving in and out of

and abducting her, abducting her
husband, abducting even animals.

The possibility of
something like a portal,

that really gets my attention.

So we've been put
in touch with Chris

O'Brien, which is a name that
you might be familiar with here.

He's an investigator who
goes back to the Sherman days

here at Skinwalker.

NARRATOR: In the early
'90s, before Robert

Bigelow owned
Skinwalker Ranch, it was

owned by the Sherman family.

They experienced
everything from UFO sightings

to cattle mutilations.

They were terrorized.

NARRATOR: The strange
phenomena led the Shermans

to call in Chris O'Brien,
one of the premier cattle

mutilation experts
in the country.

He became one of
the first people

to investigate what's now
known as Skinwalker Ranch.

He recently brought
Taos Ranch, a hotspot

he's been investigating, to
Andy and Paul's attention.

What we know is that Chris
O'Brien has a long-standing

reputation in the San Luis
Valley as a knowledgeable

and dedicated investigator.

So it's an awesome
opportunity, I think,

for us to go to a
new location and see

if we can measure anything
about the phenomenon

that may or may not be present.

And then hope to
solve the question of,

is the phenomenon that's
present truly malevolent

or is it just some
energy anomaly?

Is it some
explainable phenomenon

that maybe is beyond the current
ranch owner's understanding?

The only thing I know
about Taos is the Taos hum.

So I have done
some digging, as I

assume you have also Travis,
into this reported Taos hum.

In fact, there are several
locations around the world where

there's this unaccounted
for artificial sound

coming from some unknown source.

I also understand that it
tends to be low frequency

and that not
everyone can hear it.

That's something we're going
to try to figure out as well.

How does it fit into
the whole picture?

And I think, in this
case, the ranch owner,

the woman is, to
our understanding,

a fairly prominent
member of the community.

Oh, good.

Really doesn't want
her identity known,

has not spoken
about this publicly.

So we're going to be, really,
the first to get a full account

of what's going on out there.

Our focus is on
the property itself.

And I would even go further
to say that our focus is

going to be on the ranch house.

OK.

The center points
of her experience.

All right.
Good luck, fellas.

Thank you.

We'll see you guys in a bit.
PAUL BEBAN: Doesn't sound easy.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: No, never
easy, but always exciting.

NARRATOR: Due to the sensitive
nature of this investigation,

the owner of Taos
ranch has asked

for her identity, and the
exact location of the ranch

to be kept anonymous.

PAUL BEBAN: Look at this place.

Look at Taos.

This whole area is just so vast.

It's vast.

And it's beautiful,
but it's also

shrouded in this long
history of strangeness.

This whole area
has been saturated

with UFO sightings, orb
sightings, cattle mutilations.

The whole gamut of what we've
seen in Skinwalker Ranch

exists here.

PAUL BEBAN: Right.

Andy, I think a lot
of our investigations

are places where the strangeness
is not necessarily threatening.

This place is different.

This place has actually
been abandoned.

The ranch owner is so
afraid of this place

that she won't go back.

Right now, what we have
is stories of dark energy.

The question is, can we put
some data to these stories?

Is there some evidence
that we can collect here

to show that the compounding
strangeness, including

the dark energy forces at play
here, might be tied to a portal?

I think this is a
place where we really

need to divide and conquer.

Absolutely.

We've only got a
few days on site.

So I know you have
an interview set up

with the current ranch owner.

I can drop you off there.

And then I'll head
on to the ranch

and have an initial
walkthrough with Chris O'Brien.

PAUL BEBAN: Perfect.

[music playing]

Hey, Andy.
Welcome.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Thanks, Chris.

This is a hell of a
place to pull up to, man.

I'm glad you made it.

Absolutely.

Thanks for having me.

I think we're going
to find some pretty

interesting things here.

And that's what I'm the
most curious about is, really

understanding what happened
here and what have you

already been able to discover?

I think there's a lot
of similarities, really,

between the Sherman's experience
and the series of events

that this couple
experienced here.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE:
So you're saying

that what you've seen
here in this investigation

parallels much of what you saw
in your original investigation

of Skinwalker Ranch?

There's some real
stark similarities.

The visitations, the
types of entities

that have been described.

But what really, I
think, has these two

cases stuck together at the
hip is a portal or a doorway.

Wow.

NARRATOR: While Andy continues
his investigation at the ranch,

Paul sits down with
the ranch owner

to hear her account of the
phenomena she experienced.

Melinda, Thank you
so much for being here.

I think just tell
us the story of you

and your husband and your
home and what the two of you

experienced there.

I moved in with him in 2005.

He owned a ranch.

He had cattle.

And at first, we lived
in an RV, the first year

while we were building
our guest house.

At first, when I moved
there, it was just

UFOs of every imaginable
lights, in terms of some of them

had just solid white
lights across them.

Some of them had the
White lights that blink.

It was cool.

It's like seeing sh**ting stars.

But I think after about the
third night that I lived there,

we got abducted the first time.

And...

Within just a few days
of you moving to the ranch,

you experienced an abduction.

MELINDA X: Yeah.

PAUL BEBAN: What do
you mean by abduction?

So at the beginning
of every abduction,

I would say the windows,
the area gets flooded

with bright white light.

And we hear a very
almost imperceptible hum.

You can feel the magnetism.

You can feel that resistance.

When we wake up the next
morning, we feel hung over.

Foggy in the head, very tired,
sore in all different parts

of our body.

What do you think is happening?

I believe we were
taken onto a ship

and that we were being
medically examined and studied.

Afterwards, he said, stuff
like this happens on the ranch.

Why do you think
it was happening

to you and your husband?

What is the reason for all this?

Number one, the ranch is a power

center regarded as such by
local Native American tradition.

My husband and I always said,
there's got to be a portal here.

There's got to be a
vortex here, something.

Did you feel you were in danger?

Oh, yeah, every moment.

My husband and I,
we were bedridden.

We were so sick we couldn't
get up and down the stairs

without having to stop two
or three times and rest

for a half hour each time.

Standing in the
front door, I could

feel a very scary negative
presence standing behind me.

Our two German shepherds
wouldn't come inside with us.

I said to my husband, it's
like the angel of death

lives here or something

When did you leave the ranch?

First, my dog died
and then a few months

later, our horse died.

Two months later,
my husband died.

A month later, my cat died.

And a month after that,
my other dog died.

And the moment I finished
burying that dog,

I called my son and
said, come get me.

I ran for my life.

You ran to escape.

Yeah.

So you lost, it sounds...

Everybody.

I couldn't live there.

It was uninhabitable.

Why do you think
that all happened?

Do you blame that
on the entities?

I blame it on a demon.

I call it a demon.

This is all connected to these
negative energies on the ranch.

Yeah.

I think a lot of people
might hear this and think,

wow, this is really out there.

I don't believe this.

What would you say to
people who are skeptical?

I absolutely don't care.

I'm not trying to convince
anybody of anything.

People are going to think
what they're going to think.

Why are you coming forward now?

I know we're protecting
your identity.

Why are you choosing to speak
publicly about this now?

I know what's going
on in layman's terms.

I would love to
know what's going

on in scientific
terms about what's

been happening on my ranch.

NARRATOR: As Paul finishes up
his interview with the ranch

owner, Andy continues his
investigation at her abandoned

ranch with Chris O'Brien.

OK, here we go.

This is ground zero here.

The house where majority
of the activity took

place on the second floor.

And this is where the so-called
negative demon energy was

pretty much centralized here.

They were spending
time upstairs.

So that's where they would
have the experiences.

And I'm being affected
by something right now.

I don't know what it is.

What are you feeling?

I'm feeling heart palpitations.

I'm having a problem
with breathing.

You OK?

I feel like I'm
breaking out in a sweat.

OK.

You're breaking out in
a sweat in this cold.

There's definitely
something wrong.

I think we should
take a break real quick.

Take a break?
The truck's right over here.

I'm not doing good, guys.

And I just definitely got
hit with something here.

It happened right when I
first stopped right there.

Right in this area here.

Yeah, right at the front
threshold of the property,

really.
- Yeah.

NARRATOR: Andy is with
investigator Chris O'Brien

at the abandoned Taos Ranch,
where the owner believes

a dark entity
exists, that may have

caused her husband to become
sick and eventually die.

Now, as they're about to
enter the ranch house,

something has stricken Chris.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: I've
got a medic on-site.

You want me to call him in?

Oxygen, water?

No, I'm good.

All the years that I've
been doing this, I do

think I have developed
a certain sensitivity

to some of these energies that
swirl through these sites.

I felt like something
went through me.

I had a wave of
some form of energy.

I don't know what it was, but I
feel almost back to normal now.

Thanks for bearing
with me, guys.

Our staff is on standby, man.

We have the whole team here
for exactly this reason.

Yeah, exactly.

Boy, I appreciate it, guys.

All right.

Let's onwards and upwards here.

We haven't even
gotten to the house.

Let's go check it out.

So I'm going to certainly
say that whenever you

feel anything off, let me know.

Yeah.

They've also got
a FLIR camera here.

That's going to give us an
eye into thermal activity.

All right, my friend.

We are in business.

We're going to go
directly upstairs.

Watch yourself.

It's in a little
bit of disarray.

When they left, they did not
come back and take things.

Melinda said, that's it.

I'm out of here.

This is our second story.

So this would be
the main area where

the majority of the
sightings of actual entities

and the encounters were
reported by both the rancher

and, especially, Melinda.

This is a bed where a lot of
the activity was centered.

And she seemed
insistent with the role

that these windows would
play in the events.

And these would be the
windows where, oftentimes,

the first sightings
of any craft, they

would see out these windows
looking towards the North.

And occasionally, the lights
would get so close, and so

bright that they
would be literally

illuminating the
room with the spill

coming through the windows.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: But then
the actual abductions

themselves would
focus around this...

CHRIS O'BRIEN: Right
here in this bed.

This is it.

And it did get to
a point where she

refused to be out here anymore.

This house is creepy.

And when you actually stand
here and look out the windows,

it's easy to look through
the eyes of the ranch owners

and imagine the kind
of terror that they

must have felt living here.

NARRATOR: Now that Chris has
given Andy a first-hand look

inside the house, Paul joins
them on the ranch property

to conduct their
first experiment right

outside the window
where the owner claims

most of her abductions occurred
that may be related to a portal.

They are joined by
local mutual UFO network

investigator Steve Priola.

Now, Steve, Chris
and I have been

out here and done some initial
investigation starting here.

This is the house where the
current ranch owners believe

there's some kind of
negative spirit present going

as far as to call it a demon.

I was going to say, this is the
house that really is the focus

of the negative energy here.

And the potential that
there's some portal activity.

And what we want
to do tonight is

we want to see if we can't
stimulate some change

in the environment using some
techniques that Paul and I have

experimented with in the past,
as well as some tools that have

worked on Skinwalker Ranch.

NARRATOR: In 2022, the
team at Skinwalker Ranch

discovered the
effects of playing

back specific audio tones.

Playing the tones seemed to
trigger the appearance of a UAP.

Oh, did y'all see that?

Right above us right now.

I'm just jumping.

It came right across the sky.

NARRATOR: Now, Andy
and Paul will conduct

the same experiment, but they're
going to use a tone that matches

the infamous Taos
hum, since the ranch

owner reported hearing
a humming noise

before her alleged abductions.

We've heard about the Taos hum,

but we really don't
know all the details.

Maybe you can fill us in on it.

Well, it's pretty
widespread in this area.

And it's been going on for
probably hundreds of years.

We're getting a lot
of reports of it

happening now,
including somebody

today who I interviewed.

Today?

Today.

And I've heard that the
frequencies around 55 hertz.

And I played him
the specific tone.

And as soon as he
heard it, that's it.

Well, we'll be blasting


NARRATOR: In addition to
playing a 55 hertz tone,

the team will be monitoring the
area with FLIR thermal cameras

to look for temperature
changes in the environment,

and a spectrum analyzer to
capture any unusual radio

frequency activity,
particularly,

in the 1.6 gigahertz
range that signifies

Earth to space or space
to Earth communication.

And spectrum analyzer is live.

So with that, I think the
place that we normally start

is we take a look at baselines.

So yeah, what we're
seeing right now,

baseline, is just
standard low-level radio

noise all across the spectrum.

So then let's start
the Taos tone.

All right.


for the tone generator.

OK.

All right.

You see this, Paul?
Look, look, look.

Yeah.

What's going on here?

Look at this.

Look at how it's changing.

PAUL BEBAN: Wow.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Look at this.

And you can see
the energy changes.

So this didn't start until after
we turned on the tone generator.

And then this is happening on
a frequency that is reserved

for Earth to space
and space to Earth

communication, the whole 1.6
gigahertz frequency zone.

Look at that.

Now the tone generator is off.

And it's still going.

But what's all the other noise?

Where is it all coming from?

And it hasn't turned off.

It hasn't stopped.

Look at this.

Whoa.

What's so interesting is when we
turned it off, it's still going.

This energy has not shut off.

It's like we kicked open
some kind of door here.

You definitely...
you poke something.

Look at this.

It hasn't turned off.

It hasn't stopped.

You definitely...
you poke something.

I don't understand what that is.

NARRATOR: After using a tone
generator to send out a 55 hertz

signal, similar to the
Taos hum, Andy and Paul

seem to have elicited a
persistent response in the radio

frequency range, signifying
Earth to space or space

to Earth communication.

No question that
we started something

here that is still ongoing.

Whether we opened
some kind of portal

or triggered this
phenomenon, something

is happening here
that was not happening

before we played the tone.

It really does seem
like we woke something

up or opened some kind of
doorway and let a lot of energy

into this place.

Well, what we know
so far is that there

is absolutely some energy
source present here.

And then there's also
compounding strangeness reported

by multiple experiences.

The ranch owner, as well
as the deceased husband

of the ranch owner...
so we have those

two elements here in
addition to whatever's

going on in the radio spectrum.

So there's absolutely some
kind of measurable energy

here that is strange.

PAUL BEBAN: Yeah.

And luckily, we don't
have enough information

to know whether we should
be excited or scared.

I know.

NARRATOR: To learn more
about the possible source

of dark energy at the
ranch, Andy and Paul

are headed back to Taos to meet
with David Morehouse, an expert

on an unorthodox data gathering
procedure called remote viewing.

One of the things that really
interests me about this place

is the fact that we're bringing
in a remote viewing team.

And we've got a remote
viewing experiment going

right now to help
us try to understand

what's going on out here.

NARRATOR: Remote viewing is a
surveillance technique developed

by the Defense
Intelligence Agency

that has been used
since the Cold w*r

to spy on our adversaries.

This method uses
a team of psychics

who can see events, locations,
and data from a distance.

Though controversial, Andy
and Paul hope it might

lead to potential insights.

And one of the things
I'm curious about

is this really strong, negative,
dark energy that seems to be

affiliated with this location.

Having a remote
viewing team to help

compare against what's been
reported to us in the past

by the ranch owner
and Chris O'Brien

is going to be really useful.

Yeah.

This is just one of those
places where there's

so many ways to come at it.

I think we need to bring
in everything we've got.

Absolutely.

NARRATOR: Dr.
Morehouse has completed

the remote viewing
study with his team

and is ready to
share the results.

In this particular target,
we had 50 remote viewers

from three different countries.

There are things that go on just
with the spirit of this place

that I think is something that
really intrigued the viewers.

NARRATOR: The remote
viewers for Taos Ranch

were sent a map that
was faded to 3% opacity.

The map had no indication of
where the property was located.

The team of viewers then used
trained psychic abilities

to draw pictures and
write down what they

sensed as present at the ranch.

Morehouse then compiled
all of the data

to present to Andy and Paul.

Most of the viewers
that came back

with both verbal and
visual sensory data

came back with a really uneasy
feeling about this place.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: So the
majority of the viewers

that participated
in this exercise

all report having some negative
energy related to the site

itself?

Actually, all 50 reported that.

Wow.

Unanimous.

Unanimous.

Is it common for
a remote viewing

team to have unanimous
experiences like what

you're describing
here, where they all

sensed this negative energy?

When there's something
overwhelmingly pronounced

about a place, it's not unusual
for them to all pick up on it.

How would you say the intensity

of this particular target
rated with your team

compared to some of the
historical targets they've done?

It's up there with
one of the darkest.

So this is one creepy
drawing that came.

It's described as an
ancient poltergeist,

an energy that's hanging over
and watching this fortress.

Two things strike
me about this drawing.

One is that the poltergeist
image could be the same demon

that the ranch
owner reported might

be present at this ranch house.

Absolutely.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE:
The other thing is,

just look at the similarity
between that pueblo

and the actual house that
sits on that property.

The fence line here that goes
into a two-story building,

where the upper story is
smaller than the lower story,

even the placement of the
windows and the balcony

that would go right there...

Yeah.

that's striking
how many similarities

are in that one image.

You guys ready to
see the next one?

Yeah.

There's 50 of these viewers.

Out of the 50, 31 sketched
a portal or an opening.

Whoa.

DAVID MOREHOUSE:
What is perceived

is it looks like a
brilliant little sun,

a ball of fire that
flies out of this portal

and moves across the sky.

PAUL BEBAN: It certainly
is what Melinda described.

Bright light that came
through the windows

that filled their home.

And then the
abductions happened.

Lines up with this description.

The energy coming
from this ranch

must be so intense
that they're capturing

this on their first
superficial scan.

DAVID MOREHOUSE: Yeah.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: It's
remarkable, frighteningly so.

There's a reason she left.

It's all lining up in
a really eerie fashion.

Well, this was
excellent, Dr. Morehouse.

Thank you so much for your
time and for your effort.

- Yeah, thanks, guys.
- Yeah.

And thanks to your team.
- I really appreciate it.

You bet.

I have no way of
understanding how

those sketches from
the remote viewing team

could be so accurate
with the phenomena

that's been reported here.

What's so striking
is how that whole,

that massive anomaly seems to
stretch over the entire house.

I think we know what we do next.

We know with aerial
anomalies that rockets

are always one way to go at it.

Rockets, they can possibly
detect the anomaly upon launch.

We could get a
physical response.

And we might trigger
some kind of response

afterward that we see
reflected in other phenomena.

With the nighttime
investigation that we've already

run, we have absolutely seen
this ranch respond to efforts

to engage the phenomenon.

We saw it with the Taos hum.

It's like we started a
conversation with this ranch.

I want to see if it's willing
to continue that conversation

or even change the conversation.

Rockets do seem like
the right tool for this.

So I think we've got a plan.

This is our hottest of
hot spots on this ranch.

OK.

The actual ranch
house itself where

the actual ranch owner passed.

NARRATOR: The next day, Andy,
Paul, Steve, and the rocket

experts from Loc Precision
meet at Taos Ranch

to fire a rocket above the
house, where the owner reported

most of the strange activity
from the same location, where

the team played
the Taos hum tone.

No question that we
started something here

that is still ongoing,
whether we opened some portal

or triggered this
phenomenon, something

is happening here
that was not happening

before we played the tone.

This ranch house is
the reason we came here.

This rocket is our
chance to see what data,

we can actually collect about
the ranch house, the area

above the ranch house,
and the relationship

between that anomaly and
whatever was discovered

by the remote viewing team.

NARRATOR: In 2022, the
team at Skinwalker Ranch

conducted a rocket test near the
triangle that seemed to elicit

the appearance of a
UAP that looked like it

disappeared into the mesa.

I want you to watch what happens

in the sky just above the mesa.

OK.

Watch how this thing emerges and
watch the path that it takes.

PAUL BEBAN: It went
behind the mesa.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE:
Where did it go?

NARRATOR: The Skinwalker
team believes it

may have flown into a portal.

Now, the team will
launch a rocket

here into the
suspected portal to see

how the phenomenon reacts.

It will be equipped
with a GPS tracker

to monitor its flight path.

The one thing we
did see is that...

Not to interrupt
your conversation,

but it feels wonky over here.

I'm trying to keep my head
on straight, honestly.

I'd be having
goosebumps up the...

I don't know what's
going on here.

It's the same what...

I don't know what it is.

It's just weird.

You can't explain it.

It's...

Well, so everybody just
needs to be extra careful.

One thing we know
about this place,

this place has bad energy.

But then to see Dave have
some kind of energy reaction

at the front door of the
house, it was really striking.

David, is this anything like
you felt at Skinwalker Ranch?

Yeah, it's exactly.

NARRATOR: In 2021, Dave
experienced similar symptoms

at Skinwalker Ranch.

Whoa, that was strong.

My hair in my arms
would just stand up.

And it was weird.

It was a very fast wave, but
it was very intense wave.

We've worked with Dave a lot.

And we know that he can be
sensitive to these kinds

of things.

He picks up on these energies.

But to hear him say that
this place feels exactly

like Skinwalker,
when we know it's

similar to Skinwalker
in so many other ways,

was, frankly, a
little worrisome.

Dave, you said it was
here, and then gone, right?

It was...
- Yeah.

It's acute.

It's gone.

Try to ignore it.

So you can do your thing here.

But it definitely
gets it... makes

you a foggy head for a minute.

NARRATOR: With Dave
feeling better,

the team proceeds with
their rocket launch,


of the abandoned house.

When it comes to
aerial anomalies,

rockets are the
most comprehensive

way to poke the hornet's nest.

First, we might get some actual
course deviation by the rocket.

Second, we might provoke
some kind of response.

Maybe the overall
dynamics will change.

Maybe we'll see some new
data from the anomalies.

So these are the best
ways to go at it.

You guys want to push a button?

I'll push that button.

Are you kidding me?

Good for countdown?

Absolutely.

I'm good.

Three, two, one.

[rocket launches]

MAN: Got it.

MAN: Wow.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Look
at that visibility.

Awesome.

This is going to be right
where we want it, right?

It is.

PAUL BEBAN: It looks like
it's coming right at us.

Right back down over the house.

Beautiful.

I'm going to make
sure I can get eyes

on the actual landing site.

GPS is not reading, guys.

PAUL BEBAN: Oh, no.

GPS is not reading, guys.

PAUL BEBAN: Oh, no.

NARRATOR: Andy, Paul, Steve
Priola, and the Loc Precision

team are conducting
a rocket test

in front of the
Taos Ranch house,

where there might be a
possible portal in the sky.

But during the launch, the GPS
tracking system on the rocket

seems to be acting strangely.

PAUL BEBAN: Mike, do
you have a range on it?

I don't.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: How often do
you see fail, when you use this

in other rocket experiments?

I've flown these
things dozens of times.

I've never had a
failure like this.

All right, guys.

Looks like we had a
good soft landing.

Everything's intact.

Look at that.

Nice and clean.

Good to go?
- Let's go.

PAUL BEBAN: Let's do it.
- OK.

Got it?
- Yeah.

I got it.

So look at the GPS, guys.

What's going on?

Well, the weird thing
is, even right now,

it's showing the
direction of the house.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You said the GPS was
telling you where now?

It's at the house.

The GPS tracker is pointing
you towards the house right now?

It's pointing me
towards the house.

The GPS tracker is right here.



You can see the direction.

Paul, you've got to see this.

Look literally at the direction.

Look what the head is.

It shows us that
way at 318 feet away.

Right at the house.

The rocket is here.

The GPS is actually
pointing toward the house,

even though we have the
rocket with the GPS beacon

right next to us.

It doesn't make
any sense at all.

So how do we want to...

do we want to split up?

No.

I'm not splitting any
teams up around this place.

OK.

Let's get this guy to our
original starting point.

And then let's see what the
GPS is telling us from there.

We can always come
right back here and find

a spot that's 318 feet away.

Easy enough to
retrace our footsteps.

And let's just see
what happens as we

go back toward our workstation.

And let's take
the long way around.

This is interesting.
Let's rock.

Let's do this.

Mike, any changes on the GPS?

None.

Still pointing
directly at the house.

What about the distance?

Distance has gone
down to 220 feet.

Wow.

Pulling us right in there.

What is going on?

It looks like the is
just not tracking.

It's almost as if the house is
either drawing in the signal,

just confusing our
electronics or drawing us in.

So is it still pointing
towards the house

now we're in a
different position?

Right towards the house.

- Right towards the house.
- Right towards the house.

What's the distance?



Unbelievable.

That's it.

It's definitely
drawing right there.

PAUL BEBAN: There's something
that is drawing that signal.

What I'm wondering
right now, if we did punch

through the heart of the
anomaly over the house,

I wonder if the anomaly
picked up the frequency

of the GPS tracker.

Wow.
Yeah.

I don't know.

And now, it's
mirroring that frequency.

If you were trying
to communicate,

that is exactly how
you would communicate.

You would mirror back, whatever
the person trying to communicate

with you was doing.

That's my hypothesis.

What else could
have caused this?

All I know is that this GPS
unit is tuned to this very

specific frequency.

Yes.

At the moment of launch, it
was pointing at that rocket.

Yeah.

Now, it is pointing at
that house consistently.

Yeah.

There's no power in the house.

It's been abandoned
for months and months.

How is it transmitting anything?

That's not human, whatever.

PAUL BEBAN: It doesn't
make any sense.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: All right.
Let's follow the GPS.

I want to see what
this thing says.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Can
you give us a countdown?

Fifty feet, 30 feet.

Yeah.

It's the house.

Holy crap.

It's the house.

I have goosebumps.



PAUL BEBAN: You do.

Both of you guys.

Absolutely.

Twenty feet directly
inside the front door.

- Paul?
- Yeah.

Let's do it.

Mike, you up for it?

Yeah.

How are you guys feeling?

I've got goosebumps
because this is not...

this is...
- Just weird

- weird.
- And you're the point, man.

So it's about to get weirder
because you got to be in front.

- Five feet in front of us.
- All right.

- Worse when we were kids.
- You guys ready?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Let's see who's on.

[bleep] this.

We have to go back in the house.

What we're seeing
shouldn't be possible.

There shouldn't be a signal
in this house, when the only

recorded, documented
receiver is sitting

out there laying on the ground.

Where is it directing us?

Directing us 170
degrees behind at 12 feet.

It's something
communicating with us.

It drew us right to this door.

This door is what it drew us to.

I put the rocket down so...

PAUL BEBAN: The rocket's
at the launch pad.

It's just sitting.

The whole time we were
marching back here, there

was only one direction,
only one location.

And it was rock solid.

We've started some
kind of communication.

The question is, what
is it trying to say?

I feel like we
have amazing data.

Yeah.

But I want to get
away from this house.

I want to see what the
rocket has to tell us.

And we've got to put all
this together and take

this to the Skinwalker team.
- Yeah.

We've got a lot of work to
do, but this is incredible.

Let's just pull the payload.

The front threshold, the
threshold of the house.

PAUL BEBAN: This doesn't
make any sense at all.

MAN: Just absolutely wild.

ERIK BARD: Paul and Andy,
it's good to have you back.

Guys, I'm really interested
to hear more details about Taos.

So let's see what you got.

We got lots of really
interesting data,

and some, frankly,
unforgettable experiences.

There's some really
disturbing stories.

The woman, who we're calling
Melinda to protect her identity,

wants nothing to
do with this place.

She literally described it
as running for her life.

And what we found was some
really compelling and strange

data that seems to confirm it.

Absolutely.

So one of the first
things we wanted to do

was start projecting a
tone into the atmosphere

to see if we could
measure some change

when we replicated what we
thought might be the Taos hum.

We decided to focus
in on 55 hertz

because that was a specific
frequency zone that Steve

Priola, the MUFON
investigator, had measured

in his own investigation.

OK.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: This
experiment, we set up right

in front of the ranch house,
where they claim to be

abducted right from their room.

So after launching
the 55 hertz tone,

we started seeing a
change from baseline.

That's not us.

And you can see
the energy changes.

So this didn't
start until after we

turned on the tone generator.

You see this at


Yes, sir.

And how long did it last after?

Once it started, it
just didn't stop, even

after we turned off the tone.

Really?

Where is it all coming from?

Look at this.

Whoa.

That's really odd.

I don't know what that
is, but it's interesting

that it seems to be triggered
by playing that particular tone.

And Travis and I are always
cautioning one another.

We say it that way,
seems to be triggered.

All we can really say
is it's correlative.

Yeah.

We can't prove
causation here, but we

can say, well, it
wasn't there until we

turned the other thing on.

It's got to mean something.

Well, what?

I'm not sure yet.

Coming out of our
night investigation,

we felt confident
that we had identified

some measurable activity
in the RF spectrum.

So because we knew we
were hunting for portals,

we decided to call on
the Loc Precision team.

And we gave them
a very clear idea

of what we were
trying to accomplish

and what we were looking for.

OK.

So here is the rocket
launch from right

in front of the ranch house.

[rocket launches]

Once we recovered the rocket,
even with the GPS tracker

right next to it, the tracker is
pointing back toward the house.

Keep in mind what you
got is a GPS on the rocket.

It also has a little
RF transmitter.

And it's sending a
signal with the data.

And then it's telling
you, OK, that signal

is coming from over there.

That's right.

So both the GPS
and the RF signal

were saying they were
coming from the house.

And not just coming from
the house once or twice,

consistently from the time
that we retrieved the rocket.

Even as we covered ground
heading and distance

would accurately change to
point us back towards not just

the house, but the front door.

What?

It's pointing right at it.

But look where the head is.

Yeah.

You can see right at the house.

The rocket is here.

What in the hell?

It wouldn't be sending...

see, that is sending a
specific data package.

Yes.

That's something has to
literally take the signal

and reroute it and make
the signal look like it's

coming from the house.

Or you've got another
transmitter over there.

The house is depowered.

The electricity is not on.

We haven't been
in the house aside

from the initial investigation.

We didn't leave
anything in the house.

And upon retrieval
of the rocket,

the signal was coming
from the house.

What?

We've surmised that
something's taking

our signals, and
sometimes even our voices

and repeating them back to us.

We had that happen
several times this summer.

We've actually
had times where we

thought our mic packs were being
copied and then rebroadcast.

What is that?

What the heck?

Why is that picking us up?

It's picking this all up.

That's not unlike what
you have happening here.

So there's becoming a
precedent being set here

that at these weird
places, our RF

spectrum that we
are broadcasting

is being cloned and rebroadcast.

The whole sequence
of events in your work

here at this location, it
sounds like you're coming in

and then you started
a conversation.

That's a creative
interpretation of it.

But you played
some sounds, right?

So you're broadcasting
signals, and then you

start ramping up the activity
with your experiments.

And then things seem to just
get stranger and stranger.

It felt like we went over
a tripwire of some sort

and opened a door using
the Taos hum frequency.

That's when it all really
started, especially as we went

through the process with the
remote viewers carrying out

the rocket experiment, it
felt like the ranch was trying

to beckon us into the house.

And so the big question is, what

is in that house that cloned
that signal so that you

guys could detect it like that?

It's pretty bizarre.

I've only ever seen
that one other place.

And that's here in
Skinwalker Ranch.

How did this end?

Did the signal Stop
or did you just leave?

We left.

We just left.

So as far as you
know, it never stopped.

Correct.

That's right.

It felt so good to leave that
house, go back to the hotel,

pack our bags, and then
get the hell out of Taos.

Yeah, honestly.

We're excited for you
to go to this place.

[laughing]

Well, it's interesting
that you say,

there have been times
here where we've

all said that
we're ready to just

pack up and get out of here.

So there is a dark psychological
aspect to this kind of work.

It seems like you guys felt it.
- Yeah.

We gave ourselves a good scare.

And I think, mission
accomplished, I guess.

You brought us some great data.

Yes.

And let's keep casting
that broad net.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Great work.

Can't wait to see
what you do next.
