All language subtitles for Ghosting s02e04 The Mine.eng

Four hundred meters down,

tonight's ghostly
and chilling exploration

is unlike anything
we've ever done before.

Horses and mine carts
and children, oh my.

Tonight we will march
towards the Earth's core

as we investigate
the infamous...

[both] Bell Island Mines.

[theme music]

[Luke] What are you
running from?

[Matthew] Don't stop, Luke!
It's a ghost!

[Luke] What do you mean?

Our story begins
over 300 years ago when

a small island off the coast
of Newfoundland was discovered.

It would go on to become one
of the country's largest sources

of wealth
and paranormal activity.

With its first recorded census
in 1706,

the great Belle Isle
was a small fishing island

made of 85 people.

As the community slowly grew,
the people on the island

began to discover
small pockets of iron.

[Luke] In 1892,
a mining company would obtain

a mining license for the island
and begin to excavate.

[Matthew] The working conditions
of the mines were lethal,

as several deaths occurred.

[Luke] During all this chaos,

whispers of local
paranormal stories began.

But the most popular story was
that of the alleged ghost

said to haunt
the now-empty mines.

As we head hundreds of meters
underground into one of Canada's

most historically preserved
mining operations,

we'll look for
the ghosts of a child,

a miner, and a sailor,

all located in the core
of the No. 2 Mines on...

[both] Bell Island,
Newfoundland.

[upbeat electronic music]

[bleating]

?

My name is Brianna Follett,
and I'm a local TV show host.

I would describe Bell Island as

a very, very cute community
in the morning,

but at nighttime, when the moon
is up and the sun is down,

the folklore
and ghosts come to play.

Bell Island is known for the
Newfoundland Fairies, the Hag,

and also the very,
extremely haunted mine

that I'm in right now.

Over 106 people
lost their lives down here,

so there is bound to be ghosts.

Bell Island Mines
is definitely haunted.

[local]
It honestly just terrifies me.

It's dark,
it's damp, and it's wet.

Go check it out if
you're looking to get scared.

If Luke and Matthew were
to encounter any of the ghosts,

I would tell them
to remain calm,

to buckle up their Birkenstocks.

From the surface,
it doesn't look like much,

but when you're down in
the mine, all eyes are on you.

?

Is this what they mean
by island breeze?

Yeah, it's so tropical.

-[Luke] Wow.
-I love it.

The scariest thing about tonight

is gonna be
the state of my bangs.

You know, there's something
a little funny about this place.

Really? Besides the wind, what?

Don't you mean who?

?

Hey. Um...

you look incredible. [laughs]

I was not expecting you.
Come on in.

Wow, have you been working out?

Hi, I'm Veronika Slowikowska.

You might know me as a comedian,
content creator, or actress.

[camera shutter clicking]

I'm just kind of, um,
coming to terms with...

that I have to do this.
[giggles]

[crew laughing]

Luke and Matthew asked me

to come to go
ghost hunting with them

because they know I'm the most
scared person that they know.

They find joy in my pain.
[chuckles]

-That's kind of f--
-[beep]

I know nothing about
what's gonna happen tonight.

My relationship
with the paranormal is,

I believe, but if I think about
it too hard, I will have, like,

an existential panic attack
kind of thing.

I believe it,
but don't show me it.

I'm terrified of ghosts.

[eerie music]

-Are your eyes open?
-Now they're op--

-Yeah, they're open.
-Okay, look.

[ominous music]

Huh?

?

-What the heck?
-I know.

Wait. Do you know where you are?

-Yeah.
-Um, a mine. No.

This is the most haunted island
in all of Newfoundland.

[Matthew] People think
that the source of, like,

all of the evil
and paranormal on the island

may originate from
this actual mine.

You were the only person

we could think
to bring to this place.

No. I don't like it.

-[Matthew laughs]
-Don't like it.

What don't you like?
What don't you like?

I'm going home.
We're having pizza.

[Matthew] First,
we have to pick our helmets.

[Veronika] Well,
'cause I'm gonna be like this.

[Matthew] I think you can
adjust it on the back.

-No, this is...
-[both laughing]

I'm shak-- Like, I'm like...

-Look.
-[Luke laughs] Look at them.

-[Luke] Okay, so--
-[Veronika] I can't.

We're gonna go in the mines,

and you're gonna lead us there.

-[Matthew] Yeah.
-[Luke] Go.

[Veronika] Don't do this to me.

[Matthew] Okay, Veronika.

-After you.
-[Veronika] No!

-Can we hold hands?
-[both] No, no.

What is wrong with you?

-[both laughing]
-Guys...

Nope!

No.

[Luke laughing]

Huh. Really?
Ten years of friendship.

Okay. I'm gonna remember this.

This is the tunnel
to go into the mine.

Oh, okay,
so this isn't even the mine.

Yeah, no.
So we're gonna go, like,

a hundred million
feet underground.

-So I'm not gonna have service?
-[Luke] Yeah.

[Matthew] Yeah, you can't
post anything from this mine.

-Okay. No worries.
-No. You can't call for help.

Not a worry.

Hundreds of people
died down here.

-Yeah.
-I'm gonna throw up.

Thirty seconds ago,
I found out we're doing this.

Now we're-- now we're here.

[Luke] Our first hotspot
for investigation

is the entrance of the mine.

[Veronika] Oh, my goodness.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, does this place
have an elevator?

-[chuckles] I love you guys.
-[Matthew] Oh, my God.

[Luke]
The way that she's running.

[Matthew] Yeah,
you were scared, like,

-a couple of minutes ago.
-We got places to be.

-I don't like it.
-[Luke giggles]

I'm scared again.

One of the crazy things about
this mine in particular is that

it actually employed children
as young as nine years old.

[Luke] Children at the mines
worked ten-hour shifts

six days a week.

The conditions were
horrendous and unsafe,

resulting in several deaths
of these children.

So here's the fun thing
about this little section

that we're standing in.

Because there's a bunch
of kids who worked in here,

kids were running up and down,
grabbing water.

They died right there.

One such story goes that as
a child miner was headed back

into the mine from the entrance,

a mine cart came crashing down,
killing them.

So the ramp would've gone
to where we came from,

and the mine carts would,
I guess,

-come up and then down here.
-Okay.

Many visitors have reported
the spirit of a child miner

said to haunt these tunnels,

claiming they hear
the sound of a child's laughter

or see a shadow
running across the space

as if a child
was playing a game.

-This...
-No.

[gasps, laughs]

[Matthew]
An EMF detector is a tool

used to measure
the presence of a ghost.

Call out to the spirits.
Ask them to come near you.

How about you do it and I watch?

The goal is to find where

the kid we're trying
to talk to died.

-I'm not doing this.
-[Luke] Yes, you are.

-No, I'm not. I'm literally not.
-[Luke] Yes.

-We'll be right beside you.
-You're doing it.

-We can start.
-I'll stand beside you.

-How's that?
-Okay.

I'm realizing
we're just jumping in.

Is there anyone here
in the Bell--

And it's okay if
you don't wanna show yours--

-It did just bleep a little bit.
-No, it didn't.

It did-- it did a little bit.

If you don't wanna
show yourself, it's okay.

-I believe you're here.
-[Matthew gasps]

-It just spiked.
-No, it didn't.

-It did.
-You're lying.

The grip of her hand
into my thigh...

-You're actually lying.
-I'm not lying.

Keep going, keep going.

I believe you're here.

Just please don't show me that.

Luke doesn't believe that
there's anyone in this mine.

Ghost kid,
show us where you died.

On this. Light up if
we found where you died.

Yeah, when we get close to where
you died, approach the remote.

[all gasping]

Okay,
those were some big spikes.

-Yeah, that was.
-Those were some red spikes.

-That was red.
-It keeps going off. Okay.

-Veronika, take this.
-No.

-Yeah. Veronika?
-Nope.

[Matthew] A Flux Prism is
a motion detector for ghosts.

[Veronika] Where are these from?
You know, these toys.

-From the Internet. Yeah.
-The Internet? Right, which--

everyone knows
that's a really good place

to get things that work.

[Matthew] It's just calibrating.

-[Prism beeps]
-[gasps]

That does mean
something went by it.

-Okay, thank you.
-Thank you.

Thank you to
whoever just went by.

-[Luke] Okay. Veronika?
-[Veronika] Yeah.

Talk to the ghost.

Hi. Um...

[Prism beeps]

He's saying hi back. Oh, my God.

-I have to tell you--
-That just happened.

I am so sorry for
what has happened to you.

Are we chatting with
one of the child miners

that worked down here?

If yes, can you go by
our device to let us know?

-[Prism beeps]
-[all gasping]

Wow. Wow.

Do you want Veronika to
stay by herself?

-[Matthew] Wait!
-No! Please say no.

Veronika, you were
picking up on the name--

[Prism beeps]

-Okay, Veronika, I'm sorry--
-[Veronika] No!

We do have
a little thing on this show

where we have to follow
what the ghosts say.

-No, I'm not kidding.
-We have to.

I'm not kidding.
I'm not kidding.

-I'm not kidding.
-[Luke] No, no--

[Matthew] Our next hotspot for
investigation is the stables.

[Luke] This is a lot bigger than
I thought this was gonna be.

-[Veronika] Hello!
-[voice echoing]

[Luke] It's a barrel!
It's a barrel.

[Veronika] God!

[Matthew] Okay,
talk to me, Veronika.

What are you feeling?
What are you picking up?

I'm feeling absolutely
very scared in the moment.

But I feel the power
of friendship and love,

and I feel like my energy is--
my white light shining through.

[Matthew] In the 1920s,
the method used at the time

meant that the miners would
send the excavated iron ore

to the surface outside
through open shafts

by horse-drawn carts.

[Luke shrieks]
What the fuck is this?

-[Matthew] Wait, no--
-[Luke] What is this?

[Matthew] This looks like where
they would keep all the horses.

-[Luke] Oh, it's the stables.
-[Matthew] Yeah.

Yeah.
You'd put the feed in this part.

That's something
I wish I was right now.

-[Luke] A horse?
-Or stable?

-Stable.
-[all laughing]

I love you guys.

[laughing]

While we're here in this
moment-- And you know what,

-we're looking for the man.
-[Veronika] We're dating.

Hmm. I feel like we're,
like, not alone,

but, like,
in an-- in an okay way.

[Luke] During the 1940s, when--
that was the last decade

where this was in operation--
it was packed with men.

-Packed, packed, packed.
-Okay.

-Sweaty...
-Great.

...hot and disgusting.
Horse shit, horses everywhere.

[Matthew] It's slippery.
It's dark. It's smelly.

-Do you know what I mean?
-Yes.

-You're painting the picture.
-Yep.

And I'm smelling that picture.

One of the most famous deaths
that ever happened in here,

the horse was up
on the top of the slope

carrying that cart of ore
up with a horse.

-Right.
-The miner's working.

But, the cable snapped
attached to the horse,

sending the cart high speed

right back down
that track, when...

It hit him and sliced
him directly in half.

-'Kay.
-And he died.

Visitors and staff
report hearing the sound

of unexplained clanking,

feeling whooshes
of air moving past,

and seeing flashes of light.

All of these reports
lead people to believe

this is the spirit of the miner

forever reliving the last
moments before his death.

We have a way to communicate
with this ghost.

A flashlight turns on and off

when a ghost tries
to communicate.

Isn't that just, like,
making it do that thing

-that it goes on and off?
-[Matthew] Well--

A flashlight
that is half unscrewed?

[scoffs]

[wheezing]

[scoffing]

[coughs]

You're exactly right
to think that way,

and that's what
all the skeptics say.

[Veronika] 'Cause it's,
like, right in the middle of--

Very valid.
It's when it matches up

with the questions that we ask.

That's when it goes
a little-- Nope.

That's when it gets
a little too hard to explain.

My next boyfriend.
Where's boyfriend number two?

-[all laughing]
-Love ya.

Excuse me,
I'm so sorry to bother you, and

I'm very sorry for everything
that's happened to you.

Are you here?

[Matthew gasps]

I understand that.

And...

-Thank you. Thank you.
-Thank you.

Are you angry that you died
trying to clock out of work?

-'Cause, personally--
-'Cause, honestly, I get that.

-Okay.
-Okay.

[Luke] Are you the man
who was cut in half?

Would he have known that? Are
you conscious when you're dying?

You know what? I'm not sure.
That's a fair question.

If the last thing you remembered
was a horse freaking out

and a cart going
straight at you, bitch...

-Yeah.
-...go off.

[Matthew gasps]

-Okay. That is a yes.
-Third time's the charm.

Can you see us right now?

[eerie music]

[Luke] Our third hotspot
for investigation

is the mine waters.

-Okay, be careful.
-Yeah.

-Be careful, Veronika.
-I am.

Why does this look like
a weird, like,

Venice Beach underground bar?

I wanna go to
the bars you go to.

[ominous music]

Whoa. There's like,
actually a lake in here.

[Luke] Here's the skinny.

During World War II,
this was the place to be.

The resources for
the war were sourced...

-No, tell me more.
-Here.

During the Second World War,

the Bell Island Mines were
a resource hub for iron ore that

would be used to create weapons
for the Canadian Allied forces.

They would have
the cargo ships come here.

-The cargo ship docks up.
-Yeah.

They get off to come
pick up some stuff.

-[Veronika] All right.
-Horrible timing.

German boat pulls up,
bombs the boat.

Yeah. It's a German U-boat,
so it's under the water.

Like, they can't even see it.

The explosion not only
destroyed the docked cargo ship,

but killed many
of the naval sailors aboard.

-There was one sailor...
-[Matthew] Yeah.

[Luke] ...unlike the rest.

Seventeen-year-old Billy Swain.

Paranormal investigators
report the spirit of a soldier

said to be Billy Swain
lurking around these waters.

Common claims include
unexplained cold spots,

the sensation of being touched,

and some have even
seen Billy's apparition.

When people see him,

it's normally just
an apparition of himself.

Like, taller young man
who's seen moping around.

Like he's trying to leave.
He just wants to leave.

So he didn't die here,
but he's haunting here?

-Hello?
-[echoing]

-Is there anybody out there?
-[echoing]

This is really nuts.

Oh, my God.

-This side is fucked.
-Whoa!

[Luke]
This does not feel stable.

-[Matthew] Wow.
-[Veronika] Do you hear that?

-[distant splash]
-[Luke gasps]

[baby voice] I think it's--

I think it's time
to go to home now.

Billy Swain.

Are you here?

What do you feel now?

I don't feel a bad energy.

I think it's because
he's a teenager, maybe?

I'm feeling a fun energy.

Have you ever seen
those videos of, like,

Marilyn Monroe
performing for the troops?

-Yeah, like, entertaining.
-You're a professional comedian.

-[Matthew] Yeah.
-[Veronika] Okay.

So you're gonna do a little show

to see if Billy will come out.

I do improv, I do sketch.

I don't really do standup.

How are we doing tonight?

I can't hear you!

-[quietly] Tough crowd.
-[both laughing]

So, uh, I'm Canadian.

My mom's a moose,
my dad's a beaver.

Can you do, like, a ghost joke?
Like, a ghost bit?

Listen, you're asking me
to write something

that would usually
take 20 years.

Oh, God, I don't even
know how to say that.

We're gonna find out
if they thought it was funny.

-[Veronika] Okay.
-And Matthew is gonna help us.

[Veronika] Oh, no. What is this?

[Matthew] A REM Pod is a tool

that will detect
the presence of a ghost.

Um, hey.

I've never done standup
in front of a ghost before,

and let me tell you,
it's pretty scary.

But not as scary
as my mother-in-law.

[REM Pod beeping]

That's a laugh.

-That's a laugh.
-That's a laugh.

"Ha-ha-ha." Hi.

I'll be here all week.
Just kidding, I won't.

Actually leaving in
about five minutes, hopefully.

If they'll let me go.

-[REM Pod beeping]
-Oh.

Okay.

[Luke]
It does not want you to leave.

[Matthew] It doesn't
want you to leave.

This is a lot of energy
right here, and I'm feeling it.

Okay, give me this.

-Okay, thanks.
-We're done with this.

Okay,
I'm gonna extend the antenna.

Let's take a step back.

[beeping continues]

[Matthew] Okay.

-[Luke] Oh, my God.
-[Veronika] Uh-oh.

-Give me a hand.
-Okay, now try.

Are we speaking
with Billy Swain?

Did you die on a boat?

I swore I just heard voices
coming from over there.

[Luke] Are you--

I heard-- Did you hear that?

-[Matthew] Yeah.
-The, like... [vocalizing]

I'm hearing-- I fully
heard something over there.

-Veronika's shaking.
-No, I'm just cold.

But I don't think
it makes sense.

We heard noises earlier coming
from that cavern to my left.

Were those noises
coming from you?

We have a very
strong flashlight.

[beeping]

-[Veronika] Not looking.
-We're all staying still, right?

-[Luke] I'm not moving.
-Okay, I'm gonna shine it.

[Luke gasps] Oh, my God!

-[Veronika] What?
-It just keeps going.

[Luke] Can we see you
with the light?

Can Matthew see you right now?

-[Veronika] No.
-Give me this.

Okay.

-[REM Pod beeping]
-[Luke] Is there something

in the water
we should be afraid of?

Do you want to hurt anybody
here in this cave tonight?

-[REM Pod beeping]
-Oh, my God.

I don't like that.

[spooky music]

That concludes our investigation
into the Bell Island Mines.

And now it's time to decide if
this location is truly haunted.

Or not.

[Matthew] In hotspot one,
the entrance,

the spirit of a child miner is
said to be reported by visitors

with claims of laughter
and unexplained shadows moving.

The device we were using,
the Flux,

works with motion
moving on either side,

and it did detect a presence.

-Hi. Um...
-[Flux beeps]

Therefore,
the claims of the kids moving

in this spot were proven true.

The claims are you see
a shadow figure running around

-said to be a child playing.
-Mm-hmm.

I did not see
no shadow running around.

But, when Veronika
was asking our Flux,

"Are you here?
Are you the child miner?"

We got, like,
a green response right away.

[Luke] In hotspot two,
the stables,

the spirit of a miner is said

to create whooshes
and flashing lights.

Okay, so here's
what I'm gonna do for you.

-[Matthew] Yeah.
-I will say...

-That there was a ghost there.
-No.

I will throw you the bone that
many people saw some sort of

-weird, ominous light...
-Yeah.

...coming and going
as it pleased.

Myself, our director,
and our first AD--

there may even be more people--
all saw these floating lights.

Unfortunately,
we didn't catch it on camera,

but we did experience this
anomaly. So that happened.

But the responses
from the flashlights

were also very clear.

Like, we were speaking
with something right away.

[Veronika] Are you here?

[gasping]

[Matthew] In hotspot three,
the mine waters,

the spirit of Billy Swain

is reportedly lurking
around these waters

with claims of cold spots,
sensations of being touched,

and even the apparition
of Billy being spotted.

It was cold
because of the fact that

we were literally
hundreds of meters underground.

It was definitely damp and
chilly, I will give you that.

The whole thing was freezing.
It was freezing down there.

Yeah, but if there's,
like, a random cold spot

that sticks out particular to

-everything around them--
-No, the whole thing was cold.

-Veronika's shaking.
-No, I'm just cold.

And do I believe--
because I think I enjoy

-the idea of this...
-Yeah.

...the REM pod worked

because the ghosts were
laughing at Veronika's joke.

Yeah, she's hilarious.

"My mom's a beaver
and my dad's a moose."

-I love it.
-Gold.

[producer]
The million dollar question:

do you think the Bell Island
Mines are haunted?

The Ghosting verdict...

Of our paranormal
investigation...

-Into the Bell Island Mines...
-Is...

?

-Not haunted.
-Haunted.

I'm gonna say
it has to be haunted.

Not haunted, but,
like, I could entertain

-the spook factor.
-Okay.

I believe
the Bell Island Mines...

are haunted.

The mine was mining. It was fun.

It was definitely a great time.

-And definitely haunted.
-We shared a few laughs,

but as far as
paranormal activity...

-No.
-It was a--

We spoke to three ghosts,

and I did standup for a ghost.

Well, we certainly didn't
find love on this island,

but we did find a few laughs.

Mmm.
And that's what really counts.

Hold your friends close,

'cause you never know
when a mine cart is coming.
