He's writing out names of people he
hates.

He does follow people home and he makes
people sick.

Every single person that I have working
for me right now has had something

happen. I just worry that it could
follow me home, hurt someone I love.

He can go anywhere to anyone at any
time.

Not good.

If you're okay with it, maybe we expand
our investigation and do another walk.

I'm seeing skeletons.

They're stacked on top of each other.

Body parts were actually raining down
from the sky.

One of the things that I saw him doing
was actually eating a human heart.

He still believes that this is his town.

He wants it back.

He wants the person dead.

My name is Amy Allen.

I see dead people.

I saw a winged creature.

I speak to dead people, and they speak
to me.

This person feels like a monster.

But there's only one way to know if my
findings are real.

They are sucking the life out of these
people.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve Bischoff. I'm a retired New
York City homicide detective.

So how many bodies are we talking? And I
know every person, every house, has

secrets. It's my job to reveal them. But
Steve and I never speak. We never

communicate during an investigation.

Until the very end.

I'm not going to 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 the
house because it wants to kill you.

Amy and I got called into Flagstaff a
couple of weeks ago to help a business

that was struggling with the paranormal.

Little did we know at the time that the
entire freaking town was haunted.

So we decided to stay and expand our
investigation and for the first time try

help an entire city.

Tonight you'll find out what's really
going on in your town and what you can

about it.

But first we're going to start from the
very beginning from when Amy and I first

got here.

I got a desperate call from a woman
named Jessica who runs a crystal shop

been in her family for three
generations.

But now she's scared.

Scared for her employees, her customers,
and herself.

It's gotten really bad.

Every single one of my employees has a
story.

I'm afraid that everything is going to
get worse.

Now she told me activity's gotten so
bad, if we can't help, she may have to

the place down.

I hope A .B. and I can figure out how to
fix it.

I see this dead woman.

She is wearing a bride dress and a long
veil.

We start holding hands.

And then she jumps up on my back and she
gets all evil looking. And I'm like,

oh, damn. I'm like, she's with people.

So she's not all good.

So, Jessica, this is a really nice shop
you got here in a great little town.

What the hell's going on? You didn't
sound good on the phone when we spoke.

We've just been having way too many
things happening, and now my staff is

scared. So I can imagine you're probably
worried about your customers as well.

Absolutely. And there's a lot of very
fragile, sharp things in the store, so

definitely worried about their safety,
too.

All your employees having experiences,
or is it just you?

Every single person that I have working
for me right now has had something

happen. What part of the store is the
worst for your employees and yourself?

I'd definitely say it's the basement.

Okay. It always feels really creepy down
there. There is a series of tunnels

that kind of connects all of downtown.

Really? That also connects to our
basement.

Tunnels? Mm -hmm. That's interesting.
That's something I'm going to look into.

All right, so let's start with basics.
How long do you own the shop?

It's been in my family for 35 years. I
was raised in the store, raised with

business, so it's part of who I am. You
know, I have two young kids. I want them

to feel like they're safe in here as
well.

Okay.

So if you can, give me a list of what
you guys are experiencing.

Footsteps and voices.

We have things flying off the shelf.

We always feel like we're being watched,
and we're seeing apparition.

Are you having experiences anyplace else
but the shop?

I have experiences pretty much
everywhere in Flagstaff.

Okay, that's interesting.

Have you ever tried to bring somebody in
to try to get rid of what's here? No,

but I do some of my own things.

Like what? Every single time I walk in
that door, I kind of say out into the

space, please leave me alone.

I also do some smudging with White Sage.

Has the smudging and you talking out
loud helped?

No. What are you hoping we can do for
you?

I really want to know what's here.

why they're here and essentially how to
either get rid of them or at least

appease them so that they aren't
harassing my staff on a daily basis.

I'm seeing this flat -looking shadow
guy.

He's extremely tall, very wide.

He's got a hat and a suit, very flat,
flat against a wall, all shadow.

And he truly, absolutely feels he's
untouchable.

He came and took everything from
everyone.

He hurt and harmed so many. I think
people have been trying to get rid of

for a long time, and ain't nothing
worked.

He's like kind of losing his humanity at
this point.

This is strange.

I see him eating something.

He's eating a human heart, and it was
apparently Native American.

He can go anywhere to anyone at any
time.

Not good.

What's going on here?

Well, our basement is right back there.
Okay. And it's where most of us see

apparitions or shadow figures.

The shadow figures, can you describe
what it looks like? It doesn't really

any shape. It just looks like something
black moving in my peripheral vision. Do

you have any windows in the basements
from the outside? No. All right, so

can be cast in the shadow from outside?

No. Okay, so anything else? Sometimes
merchandise just flies off the shelf.

So I got to ask you, I felt when those
trains went by here, it's right across

the street. Is it possible the trains
causing some of the stuff to fall off?

No, I mean, this building is old, but it
doesn't shake when the trains go by.

Okay, so anything else?

I never get migraines, ever.

And when I've been coming into the store
these last couple of days, it's just

been these pulsing migraines that don't
go away unless I leave the building.

Interesting, okay.

You can get out of this investigation.

It's a family business.

This business means the world to me, to
my parents, and I really would love to

be able to pass this business on to my
kids and that I feel safe to pass it on

to them so that we can continue this for
as many generations as we can do it.

There's a guy.

He seems to be recent.

And so I think that he used to work
here. He's very like ADHD.

It's kind of like all over the place.

He's making my head hurt too.

I'm getting like really sharp head pain
with him.

And I think the living, they could get
headaches in this area. And also they've

become very scattered up in this area.
Like they couldn't, can't focus, can't

keep track of their thoughts.

People would get very drained around
him.

He does do a lot of physical stuff in
here. He's, like, into stuff. He's,

messing with things.

It's almost like he's trying to, like,
interact with people. They might feel,

like, pats or pressure on their back,
shoulders, arms, which I guess would

them out.

So, Brittany, how long have you been
working here?

On and off for the past three years.

I was talking to Jessica, and it sounds
like you guys have a paranormal problem

here. Do you agree with that? I would
agree with that.

I feel like it's gotten worse over the
years.

So are there experiences you could tell
me about?

Yeah. I came in to open one morning, and
there was journals thrown across the

floor off one of the shelves.

Okay. I do have a picture of that,
actually.

Looking at that photo, it seems pretty
aggressive. What do you think happened?

I feel as though there is a ghost here
that is a man.

Okay. And I think that he is the one
that throws things off the shelf.

All right, what else can you tell me?

The faucet turns on in the bathroom on
its own.

Is it possible maybe a co -worker just
left it on by accident? Because I do it

all the time. I don't think so.

I've never had any of the girls leave
the faucet on.

Does it freak you out?

It scares me, yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

The flat dude, I see him bothering
people around the bathroom.

I'm, like, seeing women in the restroom.

Very creepy.

I don't know how they're experiencing
this.

Like, I don't know if they're seeing
this shadow figure or if they're feeling

anything on them.

Like, I'm hearing the woman being like,
get out of here. Get out of here. Leave

me alone.

Leave me alone.

Get out of here. Leave me alone.

She's very angry. I see her hitting her
leg, and then she's saying, get out of

here. Get out of here. Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

So, Jordan, I was talking to Jessica,
who owns the place, and she was saying a

lot of staff are pretty scared about the
stuff that's going on here.

Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely been kind of
an eerie place to work. We've all had

experiences. So she mentioned this
basement in particular.

Yeah. The basement is kind of where the
most of us don't want to be.

Okay. So can you tell me about some of
the experiences you've had?

So the other day I was vacuuming.

And I went to go for it, and all of a
sudden it was stuck in place like

was holding it from behind me.

Can you show me how tough it was for you
to... Nice. Give me your arm.

Oh. Okay, so it was pretty strong. It
was significantly, like, not moving.

Sometimes the brush on the vacuum can
get stuck on the fibers in the rug. Was

that what happened?

Well, we do have carpet, but I was doing
the wood at this time. Okay, so... So

it wasn't getting stuck.

Okay, so anything else?

When I was down here, I saw, like, the
reflection of, like, a shadow behind me.

It felt very, like, engulfing, like,
just all around me.

All right, you must have crapped
yourself. I was terrified when that

What do you think whatever's here wants?

It wants its face back. It wants maybe
even, like, revenge. It's just we're not

welcome here by that particular spirit.

Okay.

I don't want to go down there.

Okay. I don't honestly know why I'm
hesitant. I just felt oppressed.

I don't like it, though. I don't like
it.

The flat -looking shadow guy hates when
people come down here.

He's malignant. He tries to cause
problems. Anybody he doesn't like,

he tries to take them down.

He can push people.

And he's, like, pushing people to get
out of here.

When he's in this area, he likes to hang
out down here. And he, like, plots and

plans. He's writing out names of people
he hates, people he wants to do harm to.

That's what he does. He does that wide
circle area, wide circle area.

And I think this might be one of the
nicest.

So, Adeline, Jessica was saying there's
a lot of paranormal activity in the

shop. Now, do you agree with that? Yes,
for sure.

Okay. So you've had experiences,
obviously, right?

Mm -hmm. I just feel watched all the
time.

How does it feel to you? What kind of
feeling is it?

It's just like someone is boring their
eyes into the back of your head.

It feels like someone wants me to know
that they're there.

Okay. Is it an intimidating feel?

Yes. It's very scary. It makes me not
want to be down here.

All right, so is there anything else?

Awful feeling of sickness that I get
when I'm down here.

All right, describe the feeling for me.

Where my heart drops to my stomach. It's
dread. It makes me feel like I'm going

to throw up.

So there's a lot of activity in this
place.

Do you think it's possible somebody can
get hurt from it?

I would just worry that if the spirit
did get angry, that it could follow me

home, hurt someone I love, or just get
mad enough to the point where things get

ugly.

Okay.

The flat -looking shadow guy did feel
like that people had seen him. You know,

because when he's in the shadow form,
he's the big guy.

He don't want to be bothered, and he
does get all psycho.

I think he goes to other places that he
thinks he owns.

He does follow people home, and he makes
people sick.

And he will go home with them.

He will make them sicker and sicker and
sicker.

I don't feel good.

So Jessica's business is in an older
building.

Figured there had to be some history to
it. Turns out one of the original owners

was a controversial guy.

I'm heading over to meet a local
professor who tells me he lived fast,

young, and made a lot of money and
enemies along the way.

Well, Professor, thanks for helping me
out with this case. I appreciate it.

Let's start at the top. What do we know
about this guy?

So his name was James Bale, and he came
here from Ohio in the early 1880s. He

was just in his 20s. And he ends up
becoming a bartender at the saloon

located right on the same premises as
your client's business.

So it was a saloon at one point, and he
worked there.

Exactly. So now you mentioned on the
phone, Professor, that this kid made a

of money.

How did he do that bartending?

Well, James Vail took a Campbell, and he
bought the saloon.

And that went really well for a while
until a big tragedy broke out across the

town. Okay, so the tragedy, what
happened?

So in 1888, there was a huge fire across
Flagstaff, and so many of the buildings

were made out of wood, and a lot of them
burned down, and James Vale's saloon

was one of them. But he didn't give up,
and so he rebuilt the saloon out of

brick. You can see it right here.

The building looks a little different
now.

Right, so some of the bricks were
stuccoed over in the 1930s. But it's

bricks, though. Exactly.

Wow, okay.

I saw...

Some fire, I think it's residual, this
place, it was much, much smaller.

Some kind of like door way back in the
day.

So in this area, I'm feeling like a lot
of this panic. I'm feeling, I'm hearing

people yelling. And then I'm seeing like
the walls closing in.

All right, so this James Vale kid.

rebuilds his business after this tragic
fire. How's it go after that? He does a

lot better after he adds a brothel to
the saloon as well. Okay. I'm sure that

didn't go over well with some of the
conservative folks in town.

But he does really well. He makes a lot
of money and is able to buy a lot of

real estate around town, including a
cattle ranch.

So now he's got a ranch and the bar and
the whole house.

Okay. So now, Professor, you told me on
the phone this kid died young. I mean,

what happened?

Things start to go really bad in 1905.

He's out on his ranch during the summer.
He's in a wagon, and he gets thrown

from the wagon by his horses. He hits
the ground, breaks his leg, and so he's

able to keep the leg, but he is
permanently disabled in a lot of pain.

All right, so he's got this bad injury,
and he's disabled, but that's not what

killed him, right?

That's right. On April 3, 1906, he goes
downtown, buys a .45 revolver, buys some

bullets. Okay. Returns back to his
ranch, and just before high noon, a shot

rings out, and they find James Vail dead
with a bullet hole in the head.

He was just 45 years old.

Why would he kill himself?

I think the pain was just too much for
him, and I don't think he saw a way out.

Well, you know, when it comes to
suicide, nobody knows what's going

people's heads.

This flat -looking shadow guy is down
here a lot.

Did you get a name on him?

Something like Jack.

I think this guy owned a lot around
here. And I think he did

really bad.

I think this might have been one of the
places he owned or land he owned

originally. And I think he thinks he
still does.

He wants it back.

So far, I have a client who's worried
sick over the safety of her employees

customers. on a property that was once
owned by a shady businessman who

committed suicide.

But I want to see if there's anything
else.

Searching through old records, I find
out Jessica was right.

There really are tunnels running beneath
downtown Flagstaff.

In fact, they run right underneath her
shop.

I'm heading over to meet a woman who
made a documentary about them.

These tunnels are used as infrastructure
for the city.

She tells me there are a lot of rumors
and myths about these tunnels, and she

wants to set the record straight.

So, Nikki, thanks for helping me out
with my investigation.

These tunnels, I mean, what's the story
with them?

They run throughout the downtown area
here in Flagstaff, and they connect

several businesses to one another.

All right, so when were they built?

They were built actually in the late
1800s. Some of the tunnels were used as

steam tunnels. They were only about two
to two and a half feet wide, and the

steam would then heat the businesses
downtown.

Okay, so now what were the other tunnels
used for?

This is actually where it gets a little
bit interesting because some of the

tunnels were used as passageways that
you could get from one business to the

other. But there are actually a lot of
rumors around town of what actually went

on down there.

Okay, now you've piqued my interest.
Like what?

There was actually a rumor of some
illegal card games, and any time the

would come to raid it, the owner would
push a button and they would escape.

Okay, so any evidence of that?

That's really just a local myth, so
there's absolutely no evidence.

All right, so these bigger tunnels, are
they being used at all?

In the 90s, Flagstaff actually did a
renovation of the downtown area, which

meant they sealed up a lot of the
tunnels. Okay. But some of them are

still used today for utility purposes.

All right, so what are the chances I can
get down there and see these tunnels?

You actually can't get down there
anymore.

It's actually pretty unsafe, so I
wouldn't recommend going down there.

which makes sense.

Well, I appreciate you helping me
because now I can tell a fact from

when it comes to these tunnels.

The flat shadow guy is not alone down
here.

There's a really weird looking thing
with him.

This is like they come and go through
here. They come and go through here.

okay.

There's like walkways or something.

So there's somewhere they go there.
There's somewhere they go there.

There's a lot going on down here.

I'm also seeing, I am seeing bodies. I'm
seeing skeletons.

Okay. And they're like stacked.

They're stacked on top of each other.

I'm, like, scared.

Word got out that we're investigating
Jessica's crystal shop. Ever since then,

my phone's been blowing up.

A bunch of locals are begging to meet
with me.

I've told them to meet me at a local bar
so they can tell me what the hell is

going on in this town.

I own Victorian Moon Antiques here in
downtown Flagstaff.

So I know you wanted to talk to me about
some of the paranormal stuff that's

going on.

Yeah, I see shadow figures all the time.

So where are you seeing these shadow
figures?

I see them at my shop. I see them at
home.

I see them around town.

The next thing I knew...

More and more people started telling me
they're seeing things they can't

explain. I'm a bartender at one of the
breweries here in town.

So, what are you experiencing?

I'm seeing shadow figures around town.

You getting any kind of vibe off these
shadow figures you're seeing?

Um, well, it makes me anxious. A little
nervous.

Feels like there could be some bad
intent behind it.

Now, seeing shadow figures is one thing.
I get that a lot.

But what this local saw really surprised
me. I was in the basement of the

downtown diner, and I saw a head.

Just a head?

Just a head.

And it was just kind of like a floating
head?

Yeah. I didn't have any body.

It had very, like, palish skin. It had
very long, dark hair. Very big head. And

to me, it just had a very eerie, cold
presence to its face.

So when you saw this large head, I mean,
did you freeze? What did you do? I

looked at it, and I just ran away. I ran
right out of the diner. I freaked out.

Okay.

That strange looking thing from the
basement goes all over town.

I'm trying to follow it.

It's telling me it's here to help, but I
don't know if I believe it. Are people

seeing this in any way?

It can change into any form and has been
mistaken for other things.

And then people are freaking out.

A lot of panic.

I spent the whole night at the bar with
one local after another coming by to

tell their bizarre stories.

I was at work once and the bathroom door
opened and slammed just completely on

its own. So it really freaked me out.

The more I heard, the more concerns I
got.

I run a tour company in town. Ten years
ago, I was spending the night at one of

the hotels downtown and I woke up in the
middle of the night feeling like I was

being choked.

It was just gasping for air, and I don't
have asthma or anything, and I just

could not breathe.

Did you think whatever it was was trying
to kill you?

You know, I did.

One thing is clear to me. Just about
everyone in Flagstaff is having

experiences, and they're relieved to
finally get a chance to talk about it. I

work at the local theater. So you have
experience you want to tell me about.

What do you have?

There's a dark energy at the theater in
the basement.

So can you describe this feeling for me?
She feels angry, like we're not wanted

there. So with all the activity that's
going on in town, do you think somebody

can get hurt?

I do.

So that thing, he says he comes in here
and he's helping people.

Well, he's helping people with the past,
the present, what's going on now.

What kind of time frame are you talking
about? It says it's been here forever.

It's not from the earth.

Initially when I saw it, it was outside
in the stars. You know, I think it's

pretty immense.

So it's not just here?

No. God, no.

So does this thing operate on a global
scale?

No.

Just Flagstaff?

No, it's just there for sure, yeah.

We were called in to investigate
activity at a small family -run shop.

But it sounds to me like the whole
freaking town is haunted.

So I don't like doing it, but I've got
to break the rules this time.

Hey, thanks for meeting with me. I
appreciate it. So, you know, I haven't

protocol in years, but we came to do
this one location and people are coming

to me one after the other after the
other, telling me how there's activity

throughout the whole downtown.

Yeah, I did get two things that might be
affecting the entire

town. Really?

Yeah. So I'm thinking if you're okay
with it, maybe we expand our

and do another walk.

Okay. You down with that? Yeah, I'm
absolutely open to doing that. Just be

careful because it sounds like the whole
freaking place is haunted.

And you never know what you're going to
come up against.

As soon as Amy and I decided to expand
our investigation, I got a call from a

guy who works at the Flagstaff Visitor
Center.

He heard I had been talking to locals
about the paranormal activity and said I

have no idea just how bad things are.

So, Joshua, when we spoke on the phone,
you sounded pretty adamant about talking

to me.

What the hell's going on?

We're getting all kinds of stories from
all the different locations that we send

our visitors out to. And some people are
afraid to work in certain places.

Some people may be afraid to come visit
us. I hope you can figure out what's

here and what we can do to keep
everybody safe.

Have you had experiences in town?

I have had many experiences here in
town. You have? I have.

At the visitor center, we have a
basement and an attic. It always feels

someone's watching you.

Okay, so anything else? We had an
employee at the visitor center report

locked in the basement.

So what do you think happened with this
lock?

I myself many times have tried to debunk
how it would lock from the inside, and

that door does not lock from the inside.
I believe something was holding the

door closed.

It scared me pretty good.

It seems this entire town is haunted.

Is there any other place in town that
sounds good to check out? A lot of

out of the Orpheon Theater.

What are you hoping we could do for you?
When people come here and visit, we

want them to be safe. You know, we
really want to make sure that when our

come, that we can send them out to these
places and there's nothing that's going

to attach to them or go home with them.

I saw two things on my first walk that I
believe are affecting the entire town.

Tonight, I'm going to see if that's
really the case.

The same alien thing that I got on my
first walk showed up covered in leaves.

The flat -looking shadow guy is out
here, too.

What exactly does he want?

He wants his...

What does that mean for the living?

That he tries to get them out.

So he wants to get everything back that
he had in life?

Yes.

Well, Susan, thanks for meeting with me.
I appreciate that.

So this is a really cool venue you got
here. How old is this building?

So it was built in 1911.

Wow. Operated as a cinematic house, and
then in the winter of 1915, due to a

huge snowstorm, the whole roof
collapsed, destroyed the building, and

to be rebuilt in 1917.

So I'm investigating paranormal activity
throughout the whole downtown area

here. Spoke to Joshua, and he said you
guys are having issues as well. Is that

true? That is correct, yes.

Are there any experiences you can tell
me about? Yeah, I tend to see shadowy

figures from time to time.

I would see them up in the curtains and
then up into the balcony.

Okay, what do they look like?

They look human -like, but more kind of
shadowy and moving quickly.

Okay, so anything else?

Sometimes these lights up in the truck
would come on. By themselves?

Yes. Do you think somebody broke in?

No, because nobody would have known how
to turn them on.

Okay. It's run through our computerized
lighting track.

So it seems everywhere I go, everybody's
had an experience.

I mean, it sounds like the whole... The
town is haunted. Do you think so?

I definitely do.

I mean, it has a long history, and I've
heard a lot of stories as well. So I do

think the town has a haunted history and
culture.

I'm seeing that woman who's dressed like
a bride again.

Okay, so apparently she spends a lot of
time here. So I'm getting that she

causes a lot of problems with people on
the stage.

She's very upset.

She does a lot of bad things here.

She is climbing on their backs. I wonder
if they feel literally a

weight on their shoulders all of a
sudden, feeling like something really

slammed onto them. She can affect
electricity, and she'll do it on purpose

I think if people see her, they see her
white misty.

and all this kind of stuff. She kind of
wants this all to herself.

I understand you used to work here. I
worked in the concession stand at the

front of the building.

So I was talking to Susan that runs the
place.

She thinks there's a lot of activity
here. Do you agree with that?

I do.

I've definitely known a lot of people
who have had some kind of experience

Okay. And you as well? Me too, yes.

I was about six months pregnant when I
was working here about ten years ago,

I was moving some stuff from one end of
the building to the other, and something

pushed me from behind into a table.

Please tell me you didn't get hurt. I
mean, it hurt when it happened, but

nothing happened to, you know, my
daughter was fine. Everything was good.

Okay. Do me a favor and show me how hard
the push was.

Okay.

Oh. Sorry. Okay.

When this happened, what did you do? I
ran outside and started crying.

It felt like something was trying to
hurt me.

So that was pretty frightening for you.
Yes. Okay, anything else?

Yeah, about a year and a half ago, I
came here to see a show. Okay. My friend

and I were able to go backstage, and as
soon as we got back there, I had this

feeling of we need to get out of here,
like impending doom.

As soon as we left, I felt fine.

Obviously, you feel there's paranormal
activity here.

Yes. I think the whole town's haunted.

How do you feel? I agree with you 100%.
And in that time, I've seen...

People, good people, do bad things.

So what you're saying is that the
paranormal in this town actually could

influence people?

Yeah, to do, like, evil things.

Okay.

Ooh, there's some dead dude up in here.

Wow, he's pissed.

Okay. Ooh, lordy.

With him in the living, it's not a great
thing.

They're feeling very anxious and very
panicked, but this is his anger. This is

how they're interpreting the anger.

I think people see him, but it's just
shadow figure, male shadow figure.

big, though. He blows himself up, so he
gets really big.

Also, you can't breathe around him.

That's something with his death. When he
was dying, he couldn't breathe.

He's like...

So

Sam, thanks for meeting with me. I
appreciate it. From what I

understand, your hotel has activity
here.

But before we get to that, this is a
beautiful spot.

You are the owner, right?

Right. My husband and myself.

Assuming you know some history about the
place, what can you tell me?

It was built by John Weatherford as a
general store in 1897, and then he

it into a hotel in 1900.

John Weatherford also built the Orpheum
Theater next door.

So I just came from there. So this guy
had a real mark on this town.

Yeah.

So let's get to the paranormal.

Have you had any experiences?

I have.

A gentleman stayed with us once and
wrote me and said that he got up in the

morning, looked through the window of
the ballroom, and he saw a waist -like

female -type character float across the
room.

Now, did you question the guy if it
could have been maybe a hotel guest or

something like that? I did. I wrote him
back, and it was too early in the

morning. It couldn't even have been the
housekeeping.

Okay, any other guest experiences you
could tell me about?

Yes, a former employee.

Uh that stayed with us said she woke up
in the middle of the night and had a

couple sitting on her bed It startled
her and before she knew it they got up

they walked through the door through the
door through the door I mean, i'm a i'm

a pretty hardcore guy. I think that
would scare the out of me

There are a lot

of dead here I'm seeing this guy playing
the piano.

He was showing me

A girl that would hang out with him when
he would play the piano.

So they may hear females talking.

Like, I'm just getting flashes of them.

So possibly people would see like that,
these flashes, like, of these women.

So, Chelsea, I understand you're the
general manager here.

I am. From what I've heard, this place
is kind of haunted.

Yeah, actually, growing up in this
building, there were two dead people I

all the time.

Tell me about the first one.

Well, there was a girl by the name of
Matilda that I used to play with all the

time upstairs.

Okay. Was she nice to you? Did you guys
get along?

She was. She was a very light presence,
very kind.

So what about the other one? His name
was Algernon, and he lived in the

basement.

He had a bit of a dark presence to him,
almost evil.

I knew there was something bad about
him. Did they move on, you think?

No, they're definitely still here.

Why do you say that?

Right when we were reopening the gopher
hole.

Okay. We were doing a lot of
construction down there. Okay. And we

upset him. I was shining a glass, and
another one shot off the drink rack and

hit a mirror right behind me, and I knew
that was him. This glass was directed

at you?

Right past my face.

So did anything else like that ever
happen?

Actually, there is a bottle in this
actual room.

Okay. Right up there, and it fell off
the top of that ledge.

Did you see it fall?

From security cameras after the fact.

Do you have that available for me to
look at?

I actually do.

Oh, jeez.

You're lucky somebody wasn't standing
there.

So, Chelsea, let me ask you a question.
Anybody else you think I should talk to

about? What's going on here?

Well, you could talk to Nancy down the
street at the diner. And she's the

She is. Okay.

From what I could tell during my
investigation, it seems like this whole

haunted. Do you agree with that?

I definitely do. I mean, it's the Wild
West.

Yeah. There's a lot of history here in
Flagstaff.

There's one male who's here often.

I think he was like some kind of manager
maybe in like the 1930s or 40s.

I think people see him.

Because I think he does stuff.

I feel like he tries to guide people,
tries to influence their actions if they

work here. So I think, like, maybe he
might influence people to, like, you

clean that table.

But if they don't do what he wants, he
can lash out.

So that's interesting.

So Nancy, I got to tell you, this is a
great old school diner. It reminds me of

me growing up in Brooklyn. It just has
that look to it and that feel.

How long have you owned the place?

My family's had it for over 30 years.

How important is this place to you?

It's everything to me.

It's part of my family.

Chelsea at the hotel says you have
paranormal activity here.

Yes. So do me a favor and tell me about
what you're experiencing.

Well, one of the first things...

That happened, I was in the basement,
and there was someone sweeping.

I could see the full motion of it.

Okay, so an operational issue.

Absolutely, because when I turned
around, thinking I was going to talk to

-worker, there was no one there.

Was there anything else?

I was rolling silverware right there,
nobody near me, and I felt on

my shoulder, two tap, and I looked.

And I looked, and I literally turned a
circle because I could not, I have

goosebumps. I couldn't, there was nobody
there.

That kind of freaked you out, I could
tell. Oh, yeah.

And it couldn't have been two drops of
heavy water coming? No.

Okay. No, no.

And that's why I tapped you.

I was tapped.

So if something could do that, what else
could it do? Exactly.

It kind of made me realize that.

There's a lot more here than I knew.

That thing is here.

That thing and that man.

What are you talking about? The alien
thing and the other dude.

The flat -looking shadow guy.

Okay, they're trying to pull me outside.

Okay, okay.

It's all about them.

I'm seeing another dead person in here.

He's a big guy.

So I guess his name is Bill.

I kind of feel like at some point he
owned this place.

He'll come up and start talking to
people, living people.

He does tend to move things about.

He's pretty good at that.

So that's not good.

This is the first time we've
investigated an entire town.

Obviously, I'm not going to be able to
find out everything that's ever happened

here. So I thought I'd start by getting
an overview of Flagstaff's history.

I'm meeting a local historian who told
me the city has always been plagued by

tragedy and bloodshed.

So, Dre, thanks for coming out and
meeting with me. I appreciate that.

And this is Arizona.

We all got to assume Native American
history is pretty big here. Absolutely.

So let me ask you a question. When did
the white settlers get here?

Around 1840s is when those settlers
started kind of coming into the region.

Okay. So obviously the tribes get driven
out. What happened?

So from about 1861 to 1875, that 14
-year period becomes

what's known as the Yavapai Wars, and
that's the U .S. Army coming in and

kicking out most of the native tribes
here, relocating them, making room for

white settlers to come in.

Okay, so it had to be pretty brutal, I
assume.

Ultimately, in 1875, February 27th
becomes what's known as Exodus Day, and

that begins the Apache Trail of Tears,
where they force out around 1 ,400

peoples, marching them 200 miles across
a winter desert, beating them with

whips, with chains. They don't want to
go. They leave them to die on the side

the road. So basically, it's a death
march.

So how many died out of that 14 and
change?

Roughly 375 people lost their lives.
Wow, that's like almost a third, right?

Jeez. Right around there.

I am seeing one single Native American
male. He has one feather, and behind

him are all shadow figures.

He indicates that they're all women and
children.

He says they are buried in the ground.

He says we need help.

Okay, so now the Native Americans are
forced out. What happens next?

So around 1876, settlers start coming to
the area, but the town would never

really flourish until the railway was
actually established, just cutting right

through the middle of town in the early
1880s. But that came at a cost of its

own. Okay, so what do you mean by that?

Well, you know, many different accidents
happened.

The worst happened in the summer of 1881
when some blasting powder actually went

off prematurely. Okay, so how bad was
this blast?

According to the article, actually, I
have here, seven people died and three

people were maimed. They say that body
parts were actually raining down from

sky when that happened.

So when you said on the phone that this
town is plagued with bloodshed and

tragedy, you weren't kidding.

Unfortunately not.

I don't like this.

There's a bunch of men down there, and
they're in a lot of pain.

Damn, man, there's got to be at least 10
of them.

They're laborers.

They're hurting.

1860, 1870.

Maybe they all died. That's why they're
all up.

I think that the...

Living might have experiences with them.
I think if they're around in that area,

they might feel a lot of the pain.

Just about any city is going to have its
share of murders.

But it turns out that Flagstaff has a
really violent past.

I'm on my way to meet a local true crime
author who says she can prove it to me.

Now, Susan, you mentioned on the phone
that you wrote a book about some

homicides in town. Tell me about that.

That was one of the saddest chapters in
Flagstaff's history.

1937.

Happened just down the street from the
Orpheum.

So I did a lot of interviews there
yesterday. People having a lot of

with paranormal activity.

So who were the players in this murder?

That would have been the Walkup family.

Marie Walkup, 32 -year -old mother of
four children.

Okay. And her husband, J .D., woke up, a
politician and a man about town.

Okay, so what happened?

It was July 22, 1937. J .D. was down in
Phoenix.

Sometime that night, Marie woke up, went
into the bedrooms of her children,

taken an ice pick and stabbed each one
in the heart and then strangled them.

After that, she washed their bodies and
put them back in bed and pulled the

covers up to their chins.

How old were these kids?

Well, here are their death certificates.

Daniel was 10, Rose was 7, John was 4
1⁄2, and Elizabeth was

about 18 months.

All right, any idea what would cause her
to do this?

Well, everybody has a different theory.
It does seem like she might have had

some depression. She was isolated.

Her husband was gone quite a bit at the
time, and she had four children.

And sometime that night, Maria woke up.

Sat in her house, took a pen to paper,
and wrote four notes.

One of those notes was to her husband.
It was printed in the paper the next

And it said, because of my lack of
discipline, the children are better off

this way.

Only grief would come to them.

You are strong in faith, never doubting.

Mercy, mercy to my people. I have loved
you, and I have failed.

All right, so now we've got four dead
kids, babies.

in the home. What happens with her?

Well, she went into the closet. She got
her husband's old army rifle, laid the

gun up with the muzzle against her
chest, and used her big toe to pull the

trigger and shot herself.

There's an article about it.

All right, so she wasn't of sound mind,
this woman, obviously.

To this day, this is one of the most
disturbing murders in Flagstaff's

That woman who's dressed like a bride is
wandering around in here.

She says she died a long time ago.

I hear 20s, but I don't know if that's
her age or the year around she died.

I kind of want to say suicide.

I kind of got the feeling that she was
kind of being forced to live not

how she wanted to.

Like she wanted to be like free, you
know, footloose and fancy free. And that

wasn't going to happen.

She doesn't like people in the space.
Any reason? She feels like it's hers and

she should be here and they shouldn't.

Everyone out here is seeing and hearing
strange stuff. Now, to me, everything

isn't paranormal.

Flagstaff is a mountain town. It's 7
,000 feet above sea level.

Trust me, I feel it every morning I'm
here.

Now, from what I've been reading,
mountain climbers sometimes get

from thin air.

So I'm wondering if that's what's
happening here.

I'm heading over to a doctor who
specializes in altitude sickness, and

going to put my theory to the test.

Well, Dr. Backus, I appreciate you
helping me out and meeting with me. So

investigation in town, I'm coming across
a ton of people that are hearing things

and seeing things. Now, this altitude is
kicking my ass. Is it possible this

altitude could cause people to see
things or hear things that aren't there?

Yes. There are reports of mountain
climbers who talk to people that aren't

there. Besides the hallucinations, are
there any other side effects?

Dizziness. Okay. It happens. And then it
could be confusion.

Okay, I've been here a few days, and I'm
having a couple of those myself.

Yes. So, Doctor, I brought some
witnesses that I've spoken to who have

seeing things and hearing things.

So I understand you can run a test to
see if they're getting hallucinations

the altitude.

Yes.

The three test subjects will be
breathing in and out of this altitude

We'll start them at 12 ,000 feet, and if
they're handling it well, we'll move

them up to 17 ,000 feet.

This is your blood oxygen. This is your
heart rate.

The first thing we'll test is motor
skills.

Then

we'll test

their cognitive abilities.

Using flashcards, we'll see if they're
able to select the word green.

Next, we'll see if they might be having
hallucinations.

I'll present them with a mix of real
people and mannequins.

I'll ask them how many humans they see.

All of them got it wrong.

Okay, so how'd these tests go?

Surprisingly, with motor skills, all
three did well.

Okay, so what about the second test?

For the cognitive skills, two passed and
one failed.

So what about that last perception test
you did? Well, the perception, I was

surprised. All three failed. They
couldn't tell the difference between the

humans and the mannequins.

All right, so is it possible from that
last test you did that they're not

paranormal experiences and it is the
altitude?

No. The altitude here is 7 ,000 feet.
Okay. And two of the guys, they had to

to 22 ,000 feet for the changes to take
place.

Wow, that's high.

Yes. So the tourists...

They think they're having paranormal
experiences, but it might just be the

altitude. Yes. But people that have
lived here and are acclimated, there's

way they're hallucinating.

No. Okay.

This alien thing goes all over town.

It's a bit unusual to have an alien
thing running around,

either in people's dreams or in their
day -to -day activities.

Telling them or showing them like this
or that's going to happen.

This alien thing can change forms and
people can see it in a bunch of

ways. Do you have any idea why it shows
itself in different forms to different

people? For those who can see this
thing, it would come through as

that's positive to that person.

I saw a lot of strange things on my two
walks, but three really stood out.

First, the flat -looking shadow guy.

This man was super wrinkled, super,
super thin, little kind of baby nose,

baby lips.

So the hair is a lot thinner. It's very
wispy.

Next, I described a woman who's dressed
like a bride tormenting someone on stage

at the theater.

On the stage is like one of the workers.

He was wearing a black shirt with short
sleeves.

There's a female who's in a wedding
dress.

She's on his back. Her legs are over
both of his shoulders.

Describe her expression.

Her mouth like grew really big and she
had like all these jagged, sharp teeth.

Like she was like.

Finally, I described the angry man in
the theater turning himself into a huge

shadow.

There was a male.

I saw his hands like up in front of him
like, whoa. And he sees this

huge shadow figure.

Definitely a male, you could tell.

Ridiculously broad shoulders because
this guy is like really trying to

intimidate this living guy.

Amy, is this what you saw?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

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 Amy, I want you to meet Joshua. He
works at the visitor center in town and

knows just about everybody here.

This is Nancy.

She owns and runs a local diner, and
it's been in her family for over 30

right? Right, 30 years.

And this are the residents of Flagstaff.

Got too many to introduce you to, but
you'll be hearing from some of them

the night.

Some people think that whatever's here
is harmless, but others think it's

dangerous for everybody.

One thing everybody agrees on, the place
is haunted.

They're looking forward to hearing
what's here and what they can do about

they can remain safe.

So unless Amy's got some questions for
you, she'll tell us about her walk.

Before I talk about the entire town, I
want to go over the biggest things I got

at the different locations I went into.

The first building from the first night,
I walked in and I actually encountered

a male.

He's extremely ADHD.

So this guy was like talking nonstop,
moving around nonstop, fussing with

everything.

When he's doing that, often he does move
objects.

Because of his energy, I got a really
sharp headache.

And I'm curious if anybody up in that
area has.

had that kind of experience as well with
having sudden headaches.

And he also tries to interact with
people often.

Because he's a very touchy -feely guy, I
was curious if people had experience

feeling like they're being touched on
the back, on the arm, padded, things

that.

Well, that first location you went to
was the crystal shop in town.

I know everything was covered up when
you were there, but I want to show you

what it looks like.

When it's not covered up.

Interesting.

So I want you to meet the owner.

It's Jessica. She's right there. Can you
raise your hand, Jessica?

Hi. I want to talk about some stuff we
spoke about in our interview.

So whenever I call on someone, just head
to that table in the back with the

microphone.

Amy talked about the migraine.

Can you tell Amy about your migraine? I
never get migraines, ever.

And right before you guys got here, for
about two days.

I was getting these really sharp
migraines that would basically hit me as

as I walked in the door, and then they
started fading away when I left for the

day.

She mentioned things getting moved
around. We have stuff flying off the

a weekly basis.

We've also had experiences where it just
looks like somebody just swept

everything off of a shelf.

Jordan, can you do me a favor?

I'd like you to go up there. I want to
talk about something.

Jordan works at the crystal shop, too.

Can you describe to Amy what happened
when you were vacuuming and got tugged?

So I was vacuuming one night, and I went
to pull it back, and it was like there

was resistance on the hose as if someone
was holding it, so I couldn't vacuum.

And there was nothing that it caught on,
nothing like that? Yeah, it was over a

wood floor, so it's not like it was
getting stuck on carpet. There were no

in the tubing.

You think that's that guy?

Yeah.

Okay, so what else happened?

The next walk night, I started right
here in the theater. It was like

completely engulfed by rage, and it was
coming from this dead guy.

He's extremely intense.

He doesn't want to be disrespected or
challenged in any way, shape, or form.

I didn't particularly care for him, and
I felt like it was a possibility that

people would potentially...

Feel a sudden onset of panic back there.

Is Lisa out here?

So this is Lisa.

She used to work here. Do me a favor.

Just tell her about what you were
feeling in the back that time.

My friend and I were here.

We were hanging out with the band
backstage after the show. And we were

right between where the couches are and
where the stage is.

Yeah. And I was like, we need to go now.

We need to leave now.

You described it as what, impending
doom? Yeah.

And then as soon as we did leave, I
didn't have that feeling anymore.

Does he do anything else?

Yeah.

Then I was suddenly inside the body of a
male, a living person.

And whoever this guy is, the dead dude
does not like him. And he comes in and

engulfs the entire room as like this
huge black mass of a man trying to

intimidate this living male.

I did have a sketch done of being inside
that living male's body and seeing what

he saw.

Hmm.

That's interesting.

So this is what he portrays himself as?

Yeah,

take a look at that, guys.

I have kind of cut chills all over my
body right now.

Joshua, I mean, you know there's some
stuff going on here. Does it surprise

Honestly, no.

It feels familiar.

Hey, Susan, you here?

There she is.

Hi, I'm Susan with the Orpheum.

Hi. So, Sue, when she talked about the
shadows, you mentioned that to me. Do

mind describing it to Amy for her?

When I first started working here...

Every so often when I would walk from
the back, I felt like up in the

I would see more of a shadowy mass not
defined, and there was no interaction.

You didn't get a good feeling off of it,
though?

No. That sound like him?

Yes.

Okay, so what's next?

Then I'm walking up the street.

And there's, like, a railing, so I just
stopped and looked down. And there's,

like, all these men who are being
mistreated.

And here's what that part of the walk
looks like.

I don't like this.

There's a bunch of men down there, and
they're in a lot of pain.

Damn, man, there's got to be at least
ten of them.

They're laborers.

They're hurting.

1860, 1870.

Maybe they all died. That's why they're
all up, you know.

So 10 dead laborers were mistreated
around the 1870s. I think I have a

good idea who you saw.

Now, in 1876, Flagstaff began building a
railway system, and there were quite a

few accidents, but the worst one
happened in 1881. That's when some black

exploded while 10 men were building a
tunnel.

Seven of the men were killed and three
were maimed. It was so bad, the expert

I spoke to said that body parts were
actually raining from the sky.

Now, do you think those railway workers
are who you might have seen?

Yeah.

What happened next?

So I went into the hotel.

Lots of dead people.

The first thing that I really noticed
was hearing piano music, and it was

from upstairs.

So I went up the stairs, and then there
was this dead guy there.

Then I saw some women, and they were all
like chit -chatting.

Then I went downstairs into, I don't
know, a restaurant or something.

There was a guy there who used to be a
business manager, I think he kept

himself. And this would have been maybe
in the 30s or 40s. He was super solid as

well. The living may see him. And he
does get annoyed when people are not

the proper thing.

So, Amy, the place is called the
Weatherford Hotel.

You mentioned that the dead guy might
get annoyed with the living.

Now, I want you to meet Chelsea. She
runs the place.

Chelsea, tell Amy about the bottle
flying.

In the same area down in the gopher
hole, I was shining a glass.

All of a sudden, another flute shot
right in front of my face, hit the

the back bar, and shattered.

Another time, there is a shelf right
above the bar. It's very flush.

There's no reason why anything would
fall off of it, and the bottle is

tucked back towards the wall area, and
it had fallen over, and it almost hit

server, which was there probably a
minute before.

Oop.

See it? Uh -huh.

So the dead businessman, do you think
that's the one that threw the bottle?

Yeah. That's the most active place I
walked tonight.

Wow. The hotel.

Okay, so what's next?

So then I left, and I went to the diner.
And there was only one dead guy that I

met. Very, very present.

Very solid.

I got that his name was something like
Bill.

And I think he may have owned the
business at some point.

She does tend to move things around.

So going through the deeds for your
place, I found that your diner was the

Knowles Bakery from 1927 to 1970.

The guy who ran it from the 50s until it
closed was Bob Knowles. Ah.

Now you said he moves things around.

Nancy, I want you to tell Amy about the
sweeper. I was in the basement of the

diner and I...

I felt someone behind me sweeping the
floor, and I could see the motion of it,

and I turned around to talk to them, and
there was nobody there.

Have you seen any of the movements?

I've seen things. We've had things move.

It's impossible for you to be this
formal guy that only plays Bob Knowles?

Yeah. It's his place.

You're cool with him staying, right?

I mean, because he really wants to stay.

Now I'm going to talk about things that
kind of affect the entire town.

There are three things.

I'll start off with the dead woman. I
called her the bride because she's

a wedding dress. And she was on both of
my walks. And she does travel around.

But her favorite place is here.

The problem with her is that she can
jump people.

That is not good because the person can
lose control for seconds to minutes over

their body. And when she gets annoyed,
she'll screw things up with electricity.

She's really good at that.

So we'll start with the electricity.

Susan, can you explain to Amy what's
going on?

I would come in once every week and two
very high up lights in our lighting

tracks would be on.

They're not lights that you can turn on
with a switch.

And I would bring in my production guys,
have them look at it, and no

explanation.

Now, Amy, you mentioned she could jump
people.

Lisa, remember when we discussed about
people not acting the way they should?

Yeah. Tell that to Amy. I have seen and
experienced people doing things that I

would not think is in their character
and very bad things.

Can I have one example?

Sure. I mean, I can give two.

and both have to do with people that I
worked with stabbing other people.

So is that something that could be tied
into her jumping people?

Yes, yes.

So this bride, does she do anything
else?

She really likes it up here, and this is
what I got.

So I'm getting that she causes a lot of
problems with people on the stage.

She's very upset.

She doesn't want to go anywhere.

She likes it here.

She does a lot of bad things here.

She is climbing on their backs. I wonder
if they feel literally a

weight on their shoulders all of a
sudden, feeling like something really

slammed onto them.

And I had a sketch done of what I saw.

That's f***ed up.

Horrible. The legs over the shoulders.

I bet it's fully over, as you said.

That's f***ed up.

So, Amy, I brought Lisa back up.

I want her to talk about what I consider
a violent incident.

So this was about ten years ago, and I
work here.

I was about six months pregnant.

Something pushed me from behind, and I
kind of, like, slammed into one of the

high -top tables.

Okay. She did demonstrate on me.

I'm the lightweight, obviously, we know.
Yeah. And she gave me a jolt.

What are you thinking?

It could be the woman.

So you said there were three things,
right?

Yeah. So what's the second?

This is where it gets a little
different, so I... Initially, I was

thing. This was never human, and it was
not from this earth.

It's all over town.

It's been here for an extremely long
time. On the first night, when I was in

basement of the shop, I saw it coming
and going down there through the wall.

it kind of travels around town
underground, I guess. It can show itself

people in different ways.

I just want to get Ari up there.

Hi, I'm Ari.

I'm a Flagstaff local.

Didn't you tell me about a face?

Yeah, I was in the basement of the
downtown diner, and in the corner of it,

saw a very gray, long, disheveled face.
It had no body. It gave me a very

big sense of dread.

Here's the thing.

According to this thing, it's not trying
to scare people.

It's trying to comfort them so it can
give them information about the future.

I'm skeptical about it myself.

We've worked together more than 10 years
now, and that's probably one of the

stranger things you've ever run into.
Oh, yeah, yeah.

All right, so how would this affect
regular people in town?

People would have really clear, you
know, visions or hearing something

about a future event or something of
that nature.

It's weird to me that you would say that
the thing is giving us, like, glimpses

of the future because...

I've definitely had experiences where
I've had a dream and it wasn't something

that happened to me in the past, but all
of a sudden it became something that

came to fruition.

Oh. My concern was if it was, like,
harming people in a way, but from what

you're saying, it wouldn't seem that
way.

Anybody else dreaming?

My name is Kimberly, and I'm a Flagstaff
local.

That's positive. I'm glad you found it.
Yeah.

Well, now I'm reevaluating.

All right, maybe he's not a bad guy.

You guys know this town is 7 ,000 feet
up, and it's killing me.

I mean, I'm having a tough time here.

So I was actually reading about mountain
climbers sometimes seeing apparitions

because they get disoriented from the
low oxygen.

So I got three townspeople who've seen
weird stuff to take an altitude test.

We showed them a mix of humans and
mannequins and asked them to identify

real people.

All of them got it wrong.

We were simulating a much higher
altitude.

So what the test proved is it's possible
tourists are actually seeing things,

but it just doesn't explain what the
locals are experiencing because they're

adjusted to the altitude.

That's interesting, though. I like that
study. That's cool.

So, Amy, you mentioned this thing goes
through walkways down in the basement.

you should know there's a series of
tunnels that run underneath the city.

have been a lot of weird rumors about
what happened in these tunnels.

But I spoke to a woman who directed a
documentary on the tunnels.

Now, she set the record straight. They
were built in the 1880s.

The smaller ones were used to steam heat
for the businesses downtown.

Now, the larger ones were used as
passageways between the buildings.

These tunnels are a big part of
Flagstaff Law.

I wanted to go check them out myself,
but most of them are now boarded up.

Interesting.

Now, you said there were three things
that concern you in the town. We got the

bride. We got the thing. What else?

I'm definitely worried about this guy.

He was super present on the first walk
in the basement

of the shop. I got that he was one of
the original owners of this land or

The thing is, is that he still believes
that this is his town.

I put him maybe in the mid -1800s.

I heard a name like Jack, and I got that
he, I think, died from some kind of

disease.

Okay, so what you're saying is making me
think about one of the original owners

of Jessica's property.

His name wasn't Jack, but it's close.
His name was James Vale. Oh,

Now, Karen, a local professor, told me
about this story.

He started off in Flagstaff as a
bartender at a saloon where Jessica's

sits now.

Vail was a pretty smart businessman and
wound up owning the bar a few years

later. In the 1880s, he bought the
building and added a brothel.

This is a photo of what that looked like
back then.

So Vail was making so much money, he
started buying property all over town

he used for cattle ranching.

We're talking about 1 ,300 acres.

But in 1905, Vail suffered a life
-changing accident in one of his

He was run over by a wagon and nearly
lost his life.

Vail never recovered, and he was
crippled and in terrible pain.

Apparently, it was too much for him.

And on April 3rd, 1906, Vail put a gun
to his head and pulled the trigger.

Oh, damn.

Yeah.

How old was he when he died?

Vail was 45 years old when he killed
himself.

Really? Yeah.

Could James Vail be this bad guy you
saw? Yeah, I mean, I see a lot of the

being, like, checked.

So you said you were worried about this
guy, but why?

Well, he goes all over.

When he was alive, one of the things
that I saw him doing was actually eating

human heart.

When I went into the basement, I saw him
again, and he likes to be alone down

there. And he'll get really pissed when
people invade his space.

He can push people. The living would see
him as a flat -looking

shadow -type figure.

When he's in this area, he likes to hang
out down here, and he, like, plots and

plans. He's writing out names of people
he hates, people he wants to do harm to.

That's what he does. He does that wide
circle area, wide circle area.

And I think this might be one of the
places.

Now, let's talk about the basement.

Everyone at Jessica's store hates the
basement, hates it down there.

So, Jessica, do me a favor and describe
the black shadow you saw in the

basement. So, I was walking, you know,
from one end of the basement to the

other, and out of the corner of my eye,
I saw, like, a big shadow that was kind

of, like, going by me.

This is Jordan, you remember, from
before she works at the shop.

Hi.

When I was downstairs in the basement,
there was a big black shadow right

me. It didn't feel humanoid to me, but
it was a very threatening feeling.

Okay.

He does take people's energy and makes
them sick. Some people that he hones in

on, he can follow them home and make
them sicker.

Where's Adeline?

I'm Adeline, and I work at the crystal
shop as well.

Hi. Adeline, didn't you tell me you got
sick down there?

Yeah, every now and again whenever I go
downstairs, which is pretty frequent,

sometimes I get a feeling of just, like,
dread in my stomach or just, like,

something doesn't want me there.

Didn't you tell me your biggest fear was
that something might follow you home?

Yeah, so I just get nervous that it
would get, like, attached or something

that. Should she be worried?

This guy, yeah, he can go places. He
tends to, like, fixate on people who are

prone to illnesses.

So I also had a sketch done of what I
saw.

Creepy looking son of a bitch. Take a
look.

Very scary.

Yeah.

And he's the one you said goes.

All around town?

Yeah, he likes to make people sick.

He definitely looks like some old mobile
guy.

This reminds me of, like, kind of
Scrooge. What does this guy want from

everybody in town? Everything he owns,
he wants it back. I was actually seeing

these people, that he's writing down
their names and going there, going

going to take them down, going to fuck
them up. This makes me feel horrible.

I want to know my name's not on that
paper.

And I want to know how can I be safe
from being on that paper.

So I know everyone here is passionate
about this city, and I can understand

Flagstaff is beautiful.

But after what we've heard tonight,
there's clearly a problem.

So what's it going to take to make this
place safe? For that, I'm going to turn

it over to Amy.

For the crystal shot, the first person I
would really like to see moved on is

the ADHD guy. The best bet would be
having a younger male medium, maybe in

early 20s, just so he can have a bond
with that male. I think that would go

really smoothly.

Then we have this location with the
angry male.

I believe that a motherly female type,
who is a medium, would be

able to move him on.

As far as the laborers, honestly, they
need some more time to kind of work out

their... I know it sucks because they
are in a lot of pain, but they're not

completely aware that they're deceased.

So leave the 10 guys alone.

They're working through things.

All right, so any advice for the hotel?

Upstairs, what would be really great is
maybe having a couple of mediums come

through and sit down with these various
dead who want to talk because there's a

lot of dead there who would love to tell
their stories.

A lot of them, once they do that, will
automatically be able to move on.

All right, now what about the guy at
Nancy's Diner?

He's good to go? Oh, he's awesome.

I mean, I like him.

He's a good guy.

So you don't have to do anything more?
He doesn't want to leave, and you're

cool, so that's good.

Okay, now how about the things that are
affecting the whole town?

As far as the thing goes, is that okay?

Personally, I'm still on the fence about
the whole thing.

But it seems to be positive.

So let's just monitor the situation, but
we'll leave him alone for now.

Okay. What about the bride?

With the bride, who's potentially a big
problem, I would like to

get kind of brutal with her and bring in
a female demonologist who's going to

exercise her.

So any particular location for that,
though? Here. This is her favorite spot.

Okay.

Now the shadow guy seems to be the
biggest issue.

What are we going to do about him?

I want to have a male demonologist and a

shaman coming at him at the same time in
the basement of the crystal place.

By going at him with both of these
people, he will be contained and

It sounds like if the bride and the two
guys are gone, things should be a little

better here.

Yeah, that'll be good.

So, Chelsea, you heard what Amy said.

You going to follow her advice at all?

Of course, yeah.

Okay. Jessica, you're the reason we're
in town.

I mean, you called for help originally.

It seems like you got the most problems
in that basement.

Yeah. Are you going to follow up with
some of Amy's suggestions?

Well, absolutely.

Were you shocked at all or surprised by
what you heard? Absolutely, yeah.

Yeah, I kind of floored, actually.

So, Susan, you got a couple of bad guys
here.

Yeah, definitely a surprise, honestly.

And definitely worrisome on an energetic
level.

Well, better to get her out of here
before she causes a problem with a group

got here.

Yeah, it's not what we want to be known
for.

That's for sure.

Well, some of you thought whatever she
has is no big deal, and some of you

thought it was a problem. It could be
dangerous.

Obviously, it's a little bit of both,
but more dangerous than we thought.

But now we've got a game plan.
Hopefully, you guys will go through with

So we appreciate you allowing us to come
into town and doing this investigation.

I hope everybody's happy with it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you so much for having us, and
hopefully things will work out.

This was a very unique case.

Steve and I have never investigated an
entire town before.

But I was glad we were able to give the
people of Flagstaff some good news.

If they follow my advice, this town will
be a lot safer for the people who live,

work, and visit here.
