1
00:00:02,042 --> 00:00:03,666
Tonight on "The
Proof Is Out There."
2
00:00:03,667 --> 00:00:06,583
On this special episode,
we're investigating evil.
3
00:00:07,583 --> 00:00:10,499
Did a malevolent spirit
drive this burning bus?
4
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,291
This video actually sent
shivers down my spine.
5
00:00:14,292 --> 00:00:16,999
Is this a recording
of a real demonic possession?
6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,291
In the United States,
7
00:00:18,292 --> 00:00:20,874
exorcisms happen almost
every single day.
8
00:00:20,875 --> 00:00:22,082
Did a trail camera
9
00:00:22,083 --> 00:00:24,374
capture a satanic
ritual in the woods?
10
00:00:24,375 --> 00:00:28,791
There are satanic cults
that engage in sacrifice
11
00:00:28,792 --> 00:00:31,207
in order to get power.
12
00:00:31,208 --> 00:00:32,332
And did scientists
13
00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:34,749
record horrific
howls of the damned?
14
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:38,541
Are these sounds the anguished
cries of those in Hell?
15
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:44,416
Around the
globe are videos...
16
00:00:44,417 --> 00:00:46,041
What
are those things?
17
00:00:46,042 --> 00:00:47,541
It's moving.
18
00:00:47,542 --> 00:00:51,499
Photos and sounds
that defy explanation.
19
00:00:56,375 --> 00:00:58,249
We don't know
where they come from,
20
00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:59,832
who made them, or
how they operate.
21
00:00:59,833 --> 00:01:00,999
What are they?
22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,999
Some sort of
bizarre mutation.
23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,666
What's exciting
is nobody really knows.
24
00:01:04,667 --> 00:01:08,083
Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.
25
00:01:09,625 --> 00:01:11,082
I'm Tony Harris
26
00:01:11,083 --> 00:01:13,416
and as a journalist
for more than 30 years,
27
00:01:13,417 --> 00:01:16,207
I've followed the facts
where they take me.
28
00:01:16,208 --> 00:01:18,541
Now, I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation
29
00:01:18,542 --> 00:01:21,292
to the world's strangest
sounds and images.
30
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:25,207
We'll analyze each
one with top experts.
31
00:01:25,208 --> 00:01:28,332
It's a credible case,
it's a credible video.
32
00:01:28,333 --> 00:01:31,082
And pass a
verdict on what it is.
33
00:01:31,083 --> 00:01:33,124
This video was clearly faked.
34
00:01:33,125 --> 00:01:35,457
The proof starts now.
35
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:43,874
Good evening, everyone,
36
00:01:43,875 --> 00:01:47,624
and welcome to "The Proof Is
Out There: The Satan Files."
37
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:50,749
Tonight, we are not giving
sympathy to the devil,
38
00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:54,374
but we are giving him an
hour's worth of attention.
39
00:01:54,375 --> 00:01:56,666
That's because while
the concept of Satan
40
00:01:56,667 --> 00:02:00,457
dates back to at least 600 BC,
there are many people today
41
00:02:00,458 --> 00:02:03,416
who say there's proof he's real.
42
00:02:03,417 --> 00:02:05,416
We're not speaking
metaphorically here,
43
00:02:05,417 --> 00:02:09,291
we are talking about a powerful,
malevolent, supernatural entity
44
00:02:09,292 --> 00:02:12,916
real enough not only to
bring evil into this world,
45
00:02:12,917 --> 00:02:15,166
but to physically
possess bodies,
46
00:02:15,167 --> 00:02:17,291
minds, and souls
of innocent people
47
00:02:17,292 --> 00:02:20,874
and in some cases,
even inanimate objects.
48
00:02:20,875 --> 00:02:22,666
Think it's all
just superstition?
49
00:02:22,667 --> 00:02:25,332
Well, tonight, you'll
see several videos
50
00:02:25,333 --> 00:02:28,791
and hear audio recordings that
might challenge your view.
51
00:02:28,792 --> 00:02:32,499
But first, let's give
the devil his due.
52
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,082
Dante described him as a
monstrous winged beast.
53
00:02:36,083 --> 00:02:38,957
Milton described him as
a Promethean-like hero.
54
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:42,207
As long as humans have been
talking about good and evil,
55
00:02:42,208 --> 00:02:43,875
they've been talking
about the devil.
56
00:02:45,375 --> 00:02:48,416
This stuff is accepted in
most cultures in the world
57
00:02:48,417 --> 00:02:49,875
and throughout history.
58
00:02:50,875 --> 00:02:54,082
Lucifer, Beelzebub,
Satan, whatever you call him,
59
00:02:54,083 --> 00:02:56,249
the concept of the devil
can be found mentioned
60
00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:58,249
across a multitude of religions
61
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:01,624
including Judaic, Islamic
and Christian faiths.
62
00:03:01,625 --> 00:03:03,749
Although many believe
he appears in the Bible
63
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:06,416
as the serpent in
the Garden of Eden,
64
00:03:06,417 --> 00:03:09,457
a more humanoid form first
appeared in the Book of Job
65
00:03:09,458 --> 00:03:13,082
as a servant angel
named Ha-Satan.
66
00:03:13,083 --> 00:03:15,457
And the devil we know
and recognize today
67
00:03:15,458 --> 00:03:17,374
would materialize much later
68
00:03:17,375 --> 00:03:20,082
within the scripture
of the New Testament.
69
00:03:20,083 --> 00:03:22,749
Biblically speaking, when we
talk about demons or devils,
70
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:26,082
we're actually talking
about fallen angels,
71
00:03:26,083 --> 00:03:27,666
these preternatural realities
72
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:30,125
that have turned their
back on God forever.
73
00:03:31,125 --> 00:03:34,332
To this day, Satan
and his menagerie of demons
74
00:03:34,333 --> 00:03:36,457
remains front and
center in our films,
75
00:03:36,458 --> 00:03:38,666
books, podcasts, and TV shows,
76
00:03:38,667 --> 00:03:41,791
and some would argue that their
presence in the real world
77
00:03:41,792 --> 00:03:43,624
has been rising as well.
78
00:03:43,625 --> 00:03:46,624
In fact, a recent survey
by the Pew Research Center
79
00:03:46,625 --> 00:03:49,832
found that more than
62% of Americans
80
00:03:49,833 --> 00:03:54,499
believe in some version of
Hell, up from 58% in 2014.
81
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,207
So it's no wonder that
demonic encounters
82
00:03:57,208 --> 00:03:59,874
are being reported
with great frequency.
83
00:03:59,875 --> 00:04:03,374
Take for example this
2020 video from Beirut
84
00:04:03,375 --> 00:04:06,082
that shows a horrific
warehouse explosion.
85
00:04:08,583 --> 00:04:13,041
Many believed this crimson
cloud left in the aftermath
86
00:04:13,042 --> 00:04:15,833
actually revealed
the devil himself.
87
00:04:17,125 --> 00:04:19,707
I would say that
evil, broadly speaking,
88
00:04:19,708 --> 00:04:21,874
yes, it does exist.
89
00:04:21,875 --> 00:04:23,582
Now, as far as the figurehead
90
00:04:23,583 --> 00:04:26,541
that we know as
Satan or the devil,
91
00:04:26,542 --> 00:04:28,292
that's very difficult to say.
92
00:04:29,917 --> 00:04:33,874
With a recent influx of devil
related conspiracy theories,
93
00:04:33,875 --> 00:04:36,541
it's not surprising that
reports of demonic activity
94
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:38,874
appear to be on an upswing,
95
00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:43,875
and with it, a worldwide
increase in the art of exorcism.
96
00:04:45,375 --> 00:04:48,374
We might assume that
exorcisms are extremely rare.
97
00:04:48,375 --> 00:04:50,457
The Holy Spirit
drives you out.
98
00:04:50,458 --> 00:04:51,749
But there are reports
99
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:55,207
that exorcisms happen
almost every single day.
100
00:04:55,208 --> 00:04:58,249
In Italy, there
are now 500,000 requests
101
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:00,541
for exorcisms every year.
102
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:02,666
Renowned psychiatrist
Dr. Richard Gallagher
103
00:05:02,667 --> 00:05:04,791
has been witness to
dozens of exorcisms
104
00:05:04,792 --> 00:05:06,707
and has worked as a
psychiatric advisor
105
00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:08,957
to faith leaders
around the world.
106
00:05:08,958 --> 00:05:12,041
When exorcists need help,
he's the one they call.
107
00:05:12,042 --> 00:05:16,207
I'm extremely committed
to the scientific method.
108
00:05:16,208 --> 00:05:18,749
My essential task
is to make sure
109
00:05:18,750 --> 00:05:22,791
there's no medical or
psychiatric explanation.
110
00:05:22,792 --> 00:05:25,541
So I'm ruling out the
kind of conditions
111
00:05:25,542 --> 00:05:29,875
that often get confused
for demonic conditions.
112
00:05:31,250 --> 00:05:33,624
People who have severe
personality disorders,
113
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:38,417
people who are very hysterical
or histrionic or suggestible,
114
00:05:39,375 --> 00:05:41,582
multiple personality disorder.
115
00:05:41,583 --> 00:05:43,916
These are the most
common conditions.
116
00:05:43,917 --> 00:05:46,332
Gallagher eventually
became a scientific advisor
117
00:05:46,333 --> 00:05:49,374
for the International
Association of Exorcists,
118
00:05:49,375 --> 00:05:51,958
an organization recognized
by the pope himself.
119
00:05:53,708 --> 00:05:56,874
And it's not just the Catholic
church taking up the charge.
120
00:05:56,875 --> 00:05:59,791
New age exorcists
like Jeffrey Seelman
121
00:05:59,792 --> 00:06:02,249
are working with an increasing
number of businesses
122
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:05,249
and residences, all
claiming to be disturbed
123
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,541
by something
sinister from beyond.
124
00:06:07,542 --> 00:06:11,874
Unfortunately, in my line of
work, I have to tell people
125
00:06:11,875 --> 00:06:14,416
that the reason that their
house is under attack,
126
00:06:14,417 --> 00:06:17,249
or their business,
or their daughter,
127
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:19,208
or their child in the cradle,
128
00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:23,875
is simply because the spirit
wants to see how far it can go.
129
00:06:24,958 --> 00:06:27,875
It wants to destroy all
things that are good.
130
00:06:29,250 --> 00:06:30,999
But the question
still remains.
131
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,249
Can we confirm that any
of this demonic activity
132
00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:38,708
is actually real and proof
of some nefarious underworld?
133
00:06:39,958 --> 00:06:42,874
We begin with the
idea that evil forces
134
00:06:42,875 --> 00:06:46,666
cannot only possess people
but objects as well.
135
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:48,957
Stephen King's famous
novel, "Christine,"
136
00:06:48,958 --> 00:06:52,749
was about the possession
of a 1958 Plymouth Fury,
137
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:56,792
and this video is about the
alleged possession of a bus.
138
00:06:58,458 --> 00:07:02,207
June 2022, Kapiti
Coast, New Zealand.
139
00:07:02,208 --> 00:07:04,291
Craig Meek and his
daughter, Aimee,
140
00:07:04,292 --> 00:07:06,999
are visiting family
in Raumati Beach
141
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,499
when they smell gas.
142
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:10,082
They wander outside
143
00:07:10,083 --> 00:07:13,791
right as the lights on their
neighbor's vacant bus turn on.
144
00:07:13,792 --> 00:07:16,458
Meek pulls out his
camera and records this.
145
00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:20,916
A bus is engulfed by a
mysterious fire with a ferocity
146
00:07:20,917 --> 00:07:23,832
that is sure to spread
to the neighboring homes.
147
00:07:23,833 --> 00:07:28,041
Inexplicably it turns on
and lurches across the road,
148
00:07:28,042 --> 00:07:29,541
but there's no one inside.
149
00:07:29,542 --> 00:07:31,791
Onlookers scatter
in bewilderment
150
00:07:31,792 --> 00:07:34,624
as the fiery phantom
vehicle is finally stopped
151
00:07:34,625 --> 00:07:36,167
by a cluster of trees.
152
00:07:37,333 --> 00:07:41,541
You've got a bus that has
just started moving on its own,
153
00:07:41,542 --> 00:07:45,374
engulfed in flames, the
lights were flashing,
154
00:07:45,375 --> 00:07:47,666
the horn beeping.
155
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,999
The question is, what's
driving this thing?
156
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,124
There's some, what appears
to be invisible force
157
00:07:53,125 --> 00:07:54,708
that's navigating this.
158
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:57,541
Brooks says
the idea of spirits
159
00:07:57,542 --> 00:08:00,707
possessing inanimate
objects is nothing new.
160
00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:03,582
Possession, from a
traditional understanding,
161
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:06,374
has to do with this idea
162
00:08:06,375 --> 00:08:08,207
that there's some
kind of intelligence
163
00:08:08,208 --> 00:08:11,707
that wants to control
something outside of itself,
164
00:08:11,708 --> 00:08:15,749
in some cases, possessing
inanimate objects.
165
00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:19,666
That inanimate object,
like a bus or even a doll,
166
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:22,874
can become animated
and do certain things
167
00:08:22,875 --> 00:08:25,541
that would frighten
the heck out of people.
168
00:08:25,542 --> 00:08:27,291
This is
Robert the Doll,
169
00:08:27,292 --> 00:08:29,416
which sits in the
East Martello Museum
170
00:08:29,417 --> 00:08:30,999
in Key West, Florida.
171
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,374
Robert was given to a boy
named Robert Eugene Otto,
172
00:08:34,375 --> 00:08:37,874
who owned the doll
until he died in 1974.
173
00:08:37,875 --> 00:08:40,916
Over the years, the doll has
allegedly moved its head,
174
00:08:40,917 --> 00:08:44,249
changed its facial
expressions, and even giggled.
175
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:45,541
According to legend,
176
00:08:45,542 --> 00:08:47,707
the doll had been cursed
in a voodoo ceremony
177
00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:50,707
as revenge for something
that family had done.
178
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:52,041
If any of that's true,
179
00:08:52,042 --> 00:08:54,874
could the bus be
under a similar spell,
180
00:08:54,875 --> 00:08:56,874
the one that's more benevolent?
181
00:08:56,875 --> 00:09:01,207
This is a bus that was
owned by a man and his wife
182
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:05,250
and the husband said that
the wife loved this bus.
183
00:09:08,125 --> 00:09:10,457
Now, as if this
weren't spooky enough,
184
00:09:10,458 --> 00:09:12,374
it turns out the
wife passed away
185
00:09:12,375 --> 00:09:16,416
while sitting inside
this exact same bus.
186
00:09:16,417 --> 00:09:19,041
So when we see the bus
drive across the street
187
00:09:19,042 --> 00:09:22,874
to a safer place where it
won't catch the house on fire,
188
00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:25,874
we have to ask, is this
the spirit of the wife
189
00:09:25,875 --> 00:09:28,875
trying to protect her
husband and their home?
190
00:09:30,042 --> 00:09:32,667
It's a theory the widowed
bus owner believes.
191
00:09:38,625 --> 00:09:40,541
The fact that the
headlights came on
192
00:09:40,542 --> 00:09:43,167
and the horn continues to beep.
193
00:09:45,167 --> 00:09:47,124
The wife or some force
194
00:09:47,125 --> 00:09:50,167
is trying to get
people out of the way.
195
00:09:52,208 --> 00:09:56,166
Back in 2003, a story surfaced
about a small wine cabinet
196
00:09:56,167 --> 00:09:59,624
that many believed was
haunted by a dybbuk,
197
00:09:59,625 --> 00:10:02,499
a demonic spirit
from Jewish folklore.
198
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,582
This Dybbuk box
supposedly exchanged hands
199
00:10:05,583 --> 00:10:06,874
since the Holocaust,
200
00:10:06,875 --> 00:10:10,082
bringing illness and bad
luck to all of its owners,
201
00:10:10,083 --> 00:10:14,207
until its last owner
took a rabbi's suggestion
202
00:10:14,208 --> 00:10:17,332
and locked it inside a
container lined with gold
203
00:10:17,333 --> 00:10:21,707
where the spirit is said to
be imprisoned until this day.
204
00:10:21,708 --> 00:10:25,207
Could this bus be
hosting a similar entity?
205
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:26,999
Let's go to the experts.
206
00:10:32,333 --> 00:10:34,666
A positive spirit
207
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:39,999
could very well have
operated that vehicle
208
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,957
and driven it to safety
across the street.
209
00:10:42,958 --> 00:10:46,916
There are so many more
positive spirits out there
210
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:48,374
than negative spirits.
211
00:10:48,375 --> 00:10:50,666
It's just that negative
spirits get all the credit.
212
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:53,125
Sometimes miracles do happen.
213
00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:57,707
But theoretical
physics professor Michio Kaku
214
00:10:57,708 --> 00:10:59,749
thinks the explanation
behind this video
215
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:01,541
is far less supernatural.
216
00:11:01,542 --> 00:11:02,791
We've all seen the movies
217
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:04,666
where the bad guy
gets into a car,
218
00:11:04,667 --> 00:11:07,957
steals the car by
hot wiring the car.
219
00:11:07,958 --> 00:11:09,707
Underneath the steering wheel,
220
00:11:09,708 --> 00:11:12,541
there are two wires,
normally uncrossed,
221
00:11:12,542 --> 00:11:14,707
but you can short
circuit the circuitry
222
00:11:14,708 --> 00:11:17,332
and the car starts
up all by itself.
223
00:11:17,333 --> 00:11:18,499
Same thing here.
224
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,374
The fire melted the insulation
225
00:11:21,375 --> 00:11:23,874
so that two wires crossed
226
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:26,666
and the engine
started all by itself.
227
00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:29,082
But the one thing
that's not so explicable
228
00:11:29,083 --> 00:11:31,874
is how this vehicle
moves the way it does.
229
00:11:31,875 --> 00:11:34,041
According to Kaku,
that would require
230
00:11:34,042 --> 00:11:36,416
an exceptional series
of coincidences.
231
00:11:36,417 --> 00:11:38,832
First of all, you have
electricity in the car.
232
00:11:38,833 --> 00:11:40,541
Next you have gasoline,
233
00:11:40,542 --> 00:11:42,457
and then you have all the gears
234
00:11:42,458 --> 00:11:44,249
and the mechanical mechanisms.
235
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:47,999
Here's a situation where
all three must fail
236
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,499
and the road may not
be perfectly flat,
237
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,707
which could cause
the tires to swerve.
238
00:11:52,708 --> 00:11:55,707
Maybe you can explain away
a lot of these incidents,
239
00:11:55,708 --> 00:11:58,291
but I can see why people
believe in ghosts,
240
00:11:58,292 --> 00:12:01,207
'cause once in a while,
something bizarre happens,
241
00:12:01,208 --> 00:12:03,208
something very unusual.
242
00:12:09,167 --> 00:12:10,082
Our verdict?
243
00:12:10,083 --> 00:12:12,874
We're going with unexplained.
244
00:12:12,875 --> 00:12:16,207
Unfortunately, we can't
quite determine how
245
00:12:16,208 --> 00:12:19,374
or why the bus moved
the way it did.
246
00:12:19,375 --> 00:12:23,207
In the meantime, be wary around
any odd behaving objects.
247
00:12:23,208 --> 00:12:26,291
You never know what
type of unknown force
248
00:12:26,292 --> 00:12:27,792
may be operating within.
249
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:34,041
This next story is
perhaps the most famous
250
00:12:34,042 --> 00:12:36,457
real-life example of
demonic possession,
251
00:12:36,458 --> 00:12:38,708
so viewer discretion is advised.
252
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:43,500
September 1975,
Klingenberg, West Germany.
253
00:12:44,458 --> 00:12:47,541
After years of their daughter's
continually declining health
254
00:12:47,542 --> 00:12:49,707
and increasingly
strange behavior,
255
00:12:49,708 --> 00:12:52,832
the parents of 23-year-old
Anneliese Michel
256
00:12:52,833 --> 00:12:55,082
turned to the Catholic
church for help.
257
00:12:55,083 --> 00:12:58,374
Recording devices capture
these conversations in German
258
00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:02,792
over the course of a harrowing
67 exorcism attempts.
259
00:13:13,917 --> 00:13:15,832
If you can believe
it, that's Anneliese
260
00:13:15,833 --> 00:13:18,875
speaking in a voice
allegedly not her own.
261
00:13:30,708 --> 00:13:32,249
How did this all begin?
262
00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:33,707
At the age of 16,
263
00:13:33,708 --> 00:13:36,749
Anneliese Michel had
some severe experiences
264
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,166
such as blackouts
265
00:13:38,167 --> 00:13:41,124
and feeling a heavy weight
pressing her to her bed.
266
00:13:41,125 --> 00:13:43,874
She was diagnosed with epilepsy,
267
00:13:43,875 --> 00:13:46,041
but the medication
didn't seem to help.
268
00:13:46,042 --> 00:13:49,167
And by the age of 20,
she began to hear voices
269
00:13:50,333 --> 00:13:52,291
and had a great distaste
270
00:13:52,292 --> 00:13:54,999
for being in the presence
of religious objects,
271
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,874
crucifixes or relics.
272
00:13:56,875 --> 00:13:58,457
She began to injure herself.
273
00:13:58,458 --> 00:14:00,332
She bit the head off of a bird.
274
00:14:00,333 --> 00:14:02,541
She drank her own
urine from the floor.
275
00:14:02,542 --> 00:14:04,832
She was barking like a dog.
276
00:14:04,833 --> 00:14:07,249
It was at this point
that everyone around her
277
00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:10,041
thought that she
was truly possessed.
278
00:14:10,042 --> 00:14:11,874
The increasingly
desperate family
279
00:14:11,875 --> 00:14:14,332
turned to their local
priests for help.
280
00:14:14,333 --> 00:14:18,457
In 1975, exorcisms
began on Anneliese Michel
281
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:22,916
on a biweekly basis, each
lasting as long as four hours.
282
00:14:22,917 --> 00:14:25,582
Anneliese began to claim
that she was possessed
283
00:14:25,583 --> 00:14:28,167
by people like Cain and Hitler.
284
00:14:31,958 --> 00:14:34,416
This story does not end well.
285
00:14:34,417 --> 00:14:35,999
On July 1st, 1976,
286
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,124
after 10 months of
continuous exorcisms,
287
00:14:39,125 --> 00:14:41,249
Anneliese died in her home.
288
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:43,457
The priests and
her parents claim
289
00:14:43,458 --> 00:14:45,249
that just before she passed,
290
00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:47,749
she was freed from
her possession
291
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:50,041
and the exorcism was a success.
292
00:14:50,042 --> 00:14:52,374
Let's see what
our experts think.
293
00:14:56,042 --> 00:14:58,457
First, forensic audio
analyst Rob Maher
294
00:14:58,458 --> 00:15:01,749
takes a listen to those
supposedly inhuman noises.
295
00:15:07,042 --> 00:15:10,207
If we compare the girl's
speech in the recording
296
00:15:10,208 --> 00:15:13,541
to what a voice actor
is able to produce...
297
00:15:21,583 --> 00:15:25,166
That voice actor is able to
produce a very similar quality
298
00:15:25,167 --> 00:15:28,041
to what we hear from this girl.
299
00:15:28,042 --> 00:15:30,374
Since the growls
could be easily produced
300
00:15:30,375 --> 00:15:33,374
by a human play acting,
many are skeptical
301
00:15:33,375 --> 00:15:36,041
that this was a legitimate
demonic possession.
302
00:15:36,042 --> 00:15:38,916
The conversations
were immature.
303
00:15:38,917 --> 00:15:40,374
There was way too much talk
304
00:15:40,375 --> 00:15:42,874
about things that
a demonic spirit
305
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:44,499
would have no interest in.
306
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,082
According to Seelman,
the demon is more likely
307
00:15:47,083 --> 00:15:49,916
to attack the person
performing the exorcism,
308
00:15:49,917 --> 00:15:51,541
not the religious institution.
309
00:15:51,542 --> 00:15:52,874
The demonic spirit
310
00:15:52,875 --> 00:15:57,707
is going to try to make
the priest feel weak,
311
00:15:57,708 --> 00:15:59,999
insult their personal lives.
312
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,624
Everything that I heard
313
00:16:01,625 --> 00:16:06,250
was really anger at the
Catholic church itself.
314
00:16:07,208 --> 00:16:11,041
And it was well known that
the people of this town
315
00:16:11,042 --> 00:16:14,874
were very conservative
and religious.
316
00:16:14,875 --> 00:16:18,999
No dating, no fun, no
going out at night.
317
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,832
And so it would
not be surprising
318
00:16:20,833 --> 00:16:23,624
that Anneliese Michel
was pretty unhappy
319
00:16:23,625 --> 00:16:25,166
with what was going on.
320
00:16:25,167 --> 00:16:27,249
Dr. Hope
agrees, this culture
321
00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:29,791
combined with Anneliese's
previous diagnosis
322
00:16:29,792 --> 00:16:31,957
seemed to create
a perfect storm.
323
00:16:31,958 --> 00:16:35,124
She had a diagnosis of
temporal lobe epilepsy,
324
00:16:35,125 --> 00:16:38,457
which can lead to
psychotic symptoms
325
00:16:38,458 --> 00:16:42,166
such as delusions
and hallucinations.
326
00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:44,207
Having very religious beliefs,
327
00:16:44,208 --> 00:16:47,124
those stories and
themes of the devil
328
00:16:47,125 --> 00:16:48,999
became very real to her
329
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,874
and must have been
absolutely terrifying.
330
00:16:51,875 --> 00:16:53,374
But if
this was epilepsy,
331
00:16:53,375 --> 00:16:56,291
why wasn't Anneliese responding
to standard treatment?
332
00:16:56,292 --> 00:16:59,374
Even today, with
these type of illnesses,
333
00:16:59,375 --> 00:17:02,457
we aren't always able to
get people symptom free.
334
00:17:02,458 --> 00:17:05,624
It doesn't mean that the
diagnosis wasn't correct
335
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:09,499
or the other diagnosis
such as demonic possession
336
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:10,916
are an explanation.
337
00:17:10,917 --> 00:17:12,707
So how did
this disturbing scenario
338
00:17:12,708 --> 00:17:14,582
ultimately reach its end?
339
00:17:14,583 --> 00:17:15,707
In the last few weeks,
340
00:17:15,708 --> 00:17:18,207
she was not able to eat
and drink very much at all.
341
00:17:18,208 --> 00:17:23,374
It was noted she had bilateral
fractures, so broken knees,
342
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:26,166
due to the fact that
she was praying so much.
343
00:17:26,167 --> 00:17:28,916
She died at the young age of 23
344
00:17:28,917 --> 00:17:31,457
and weighed only 68 pounds.
345
00:17:31,458 --> 00:17:35,166
The actual cause of death was
malnutrition and dehydration.
346
00:17:35,167 --> 00:17:37,082
Her parents and the
priests were charged
347
00:17:37,083 --> 00:17:40,082
and convicted of
negligent homicide,
348
00:17:40,083 --> 00:17:42,499
and the state
prosecutor sadly said
349
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,291
that even up to a
week before her death,
350
00:17:45,292 --> 00:17:46,874
if she'd have got treatment,
351
00:17:46,875 --> 00:17:49,124
then her life could
have been saved.
352
00:17:52,625 --> 00:17:55,249
Our verdict?
Mental illness.
353
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:58,207
We agree with that
historic conclusion,
354
00:17:58,208 --> 00:18:00,207
in part because of the analysis
355
00:18:00,208 --> 00:18:02,291
of the recordings themselves.
356
00:18:02,292 --> 00:18:06,125
Hopefully Anneliese is
finally resting in peace.
357
00:18:10,208 --> 00:18:12,707
These next images
raise a disturbing question.
358
00:18:12,708 --> 00:18:16,124
Are people practicing
satanic rituals in the woods?
359
00:18:16,125 --> 00:18:17,749
The incident involves
a naked woman,
360
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:19,499
a mutilated deer, and...
361
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:22,832
Well, just look for yourself,
362
00:18:22,833 --> 00:18:24,042
if you dare.
363
00:18:25,042 --> 00:18:27,957
February 21st,
2021, Powell River
364
00:18:27,958 --> 00:18:30,041
in British Columbia, Canada.
365
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:32,707
Local resident Corinea
Woloschuk's grandfather
366
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:34,541
comes across a deer carcass
367
00:18:34,542 --> 00:18:37,166
while walking just
outside his property.
368
00:18:37,167 --> 00:18:39,249
He had a little
chat with the neighbor
369
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:42,874
and he agreed to let
him put up a trail cam
370
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:45,499
just to see what
maybe killed it.
371
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:47,707
At around five o'clock,
372
00:18:47,708 --> 00:18:51,124
the motion sensor camera
snaps away at a bobcat,
373
00:18:51,125 --> 00:18:54,082
but then, an hour later
after it gets dark
374
00:18:54,083 --> 00:18:55,874
and the camera switches
to night vision,
375
00:18:55,875 --> 00:18:57,833
it captures a macabre scene.
376
00:18:58,792 --> 00:19:01,874
A sequence of photos
depicts a nearly naked woman
377
00:19:01,875 --> 00:19:03,499
with long dark hair.
378
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,457
She crouches down, holding
the deer's leg near her mouth
379
00:19:07,458 --> 00:19:10,041
as a second long-haired
person joins her
380
00:19:10,042 --> 00:19:12,749
before both
mysteriously disappear.
381
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:14,707
I was pretty creeped out.
382
00:19:14,708 --> 00:19:18,249
My thoughts were either
someone's on drugs
383
00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:21,499
or they've got a
really weird kink.
384
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:24,207
Corinea eventually
decides to put the pictures
385
00:19:24,208 --> 00:19:26,374
online to see if she
can get some answers.
386
00:19:26,375 --> 00:19:29,582
I originally posted it
on a Facebook group I'm on,
387
00:19:29,583 --> 00:19:31,874
like, "What do you
think of this?"
388
00:19:31,875 --> 00:19:34,832
And that's where all the,
like, "Oh, witches and duh,"
389
00:19:34,833 --> 00:19:36,332
all these things came out.
390
00:19:36,333 --> 00:19:38,207
After many
likes and shares,
391
00:19:38,208 --> 00:19:41,541
these fawn feasters make
international headlines.
392
00:19:41,542 --> 00:19:44,207
Author Alexis Brooks says
that's for good reason.
393
00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:46,832
Clearly, this was
a very strange act.
394
00:19:46,833 --> 00:19:50,207
It almost looks like
they are bending over
395
00:19:50,208 --> 00:19:52,457
in a sign of devotion.
396
00:19:52,458 --> 00:19:54,416
I think we're
looking at some sort
397
00:19:54,417 --> 00:19:57,374
of a really, really dark ritual.
398
00:19:57,375 --> 00:20:00,041
So is it possible
we're witnessing the aftermath
399
00:20:00,042 --> 00:20:02,374
of some witches satanic supper?
400
00:20:02,375 --> 00:20:04,957
There are certain
satanic cults
401
00:20:04,958 --> 00:20:07,499
that engage in sacrifice
402
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:12,374
to get power from the
soul of the animal
403
00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:15,916
and bring that power
into the individual
404
00:20:15,917 --> 00:20:18,541
that is doing the sacrifice
405
00:20:18,542 --> 00:20:21,957
or a coven of
satanic worshipers.
406
00:20:21,958 --> 00:20:24,624
In fact, Brooks says
there's a recent alleged case
407
00:20:24,625 --> 00:20:27,416
of satanic animal
sacrifice from 2021,
408
00:20:27,417 --> 00:20:30,249
which we'll blur
because it's disturbing.
409
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:31,874
Several dead goats
were discovered,
410
00:20:31,875 --> 00:20:35,707
found dumped in a
northeast El Paso desert.
411
00:20:35,708 --> 00:20:39,499
Texas Parks & Wildlife officials
say some of these goats
412
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,416
were actually missing
bodily fluids like blood,
413
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:47,458
so they directly correlated
it to a potential satanic act.
414
00:20:50,417 --> 00:20:53,457
Sacrificing animals
for occult-like rituals
415
00:20:53,458 --> 00:20:56,582
sounds pretty
gruesome, but get this,
416
00:20:56,583 --> 00:20:58,707
the United States
has legislation
417
00:20:58,708 --> 00:21:02,291
protecting ritual slaughter
for some religions.
418
00:21:02,292 --> 00:21:05,041
So is there any meat on the bone
419
00:21:05,042 --> 00:21:07,416
in this potentially
fiendish feast?
420
00:21:07,417 --> 00:21:09,374
Let's ask the experts.
421
00:21:12,958 --> 00:21:15,832
Anthropologist Kathy Strain
says that though people
422
00:21:15,833 --> 00:21:18,707
often associate
witchcraft with satanism,
423
00:21:18,708 --> 00:21:20,374
this connection
is mostly a myth,
424
00:21:20,375 --> 00:21:21,999
especially in modern times.
425
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,374
Witchcraft in general
426
00:21:23,375 --> 00:21:25,874
is still plenty alive
in Canada and America
427
00:21:25,875 --> 00:21:27,249
and it's really just as tame
428
00:21:27,250 --> 00:21:29,707
as maybe palm or tarot readings.
429
00:21:29,708 --> 00:21:33,291
They perform
seances, cast spells,
430
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,207
conjure the dead,
that type of thing.
431
00:21:35,208 --> 00:21:37,291
It's more like Wicca,
432
00:21:37,292 --> 00:21:41,375
where you worship nature
as a whole versus Satan.
433
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:44,291
Yet that doesn't make
what these people are doing
434
00:21:44,292 --> 00:21:45,791
any less dangerous.
435
00:21:45,792 --> 00:21:48,374
Emergency medicine
physician Dr. Ed Hope
436
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:50,916
shares some raw truths
about animal flesh.
437
00:21:50,917 --> 00:21:53,582
Eating raw meat, you
are at serious risk
438
00:21:53,583 --> 00:21:56,541
of getting a zoonotic infection,
439
00:21:56,542 --> 00:21:59,749
that is one passed
from animal to humans.
440
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:02,332
In fact, dining
on a decaying carcass
441
00:22:02,333 --> 00:22:03,874
can be downright deadly.
442
00:22:03,875 --> 00:22:06,416
The carcass is gonna
have lots of bacteria
443
00:22:06,417 --> 00:22:08,707
such as E. coli or salmonella,
444
00:22:08,708 --> 00:22:12,874
but also, there are some that
are specific to dead animals.
445
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:15,457
One of these diseases
is called tularemia,
446
00:22:15,458 --> 00:22:17,541
also known as rabbit fever,
447
00:22:17,542 --> 00:22:21,707
and this is an extremely
deadly bacteria.
448
00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:23,416
Yet, is this
mysterious figure
449
00:22:23,417 --> 00:22:25,874
actually even
consuming the carcass?
450
00:22:25,875 --> 00:22:28,999
I mean, we can't say for
sure if she's trying to eat it.
451
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,582
She's certainly holding
it up close to her mouth,
452
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:33,249
but she could just
be looking at it.
453
00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:34,916
There's no conclusive evidence
454
00:22:34,917 --> 00:22:38,791
to say she is actually eating
it from what I see here.
455
00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:41,749
But even if this woman
is not eating the dead deer,
456
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:44,207
her actions still
seem to defy logic.
457
00:22:44,208 --> 00:22:46,041
So how do we slice this one up?
458
00:22:46,042 --> 00:22:48,707
To me, what we're seeing
here is obviously a hoax.
459
00:22:48,708 --> 00:22:51,207
These two people probably
thought it would be funny
460
00:22:51,208 --> 00:22:55,874
to dress up in long wigs, take
off some of their clothing
461
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,541
and get their pictures
taken on the camera.
462
00:22:58,542 --> 00:23:02,249
But I don't think these
people had any ill intention
463
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:03,916
to be called a witch
or anything like that.
464
00:23:03,917 --> 00:23:06,416
They just thought
it would be funny.
465
00:23:06,417 --> 00:23:08,207
Corinea herself agrees.
466
00:23:08,208 --> 00:23:09,791
There's a trailer
park down the road,
467
00:23:09,792 --> 00:23:12,457
a few questionable
characters live there.
468
00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:15,374
I'd like to think
it was a prank.
469
00:23:15,375 --> 00:23:17,875
That's what makes me sleep
at night, thinking that.
470
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,374
Our verdict?
471
00:23:24,375 --> 00:23:26,624
Though these pictures
are pretty creepy,
472
00:23:26,625 --> 00:23:29,374
this incident is likely a hoax.
473
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:31,416
Trail cameras have a
tendency to attract
474
00:23:31,417 --> 00:23:34,625
all sorts of tricksters
and attention seekers.
475
00:23:38,583 --> 00:23:40,707
Does Hell exist?
476
00:23:40,708 --> 00:23:42,874
Today, most people think of
it as a spiritual place,
477
00:23:42,875 --> 00:23:45,874
but historically, it was
thought to be a physical place
478
00:23:45,875 --> 00:23:48,707
deep underground, and
when one research team
479
00:23:48,708 --> 00:23:51,832
decided to dig as deep
as humanly possible,
480
00:23:51,833 --> 00:23:55,792
they may have recorded
something truly unholy.
481
00:23:57,208 --> 00:23:59,917
It's 1989 in Murmansk, Russia.
482
00:24:01,250 --> 00:24:02,874
A Russian government project,
483
00:24:02,875 --> 00:24:06,791
named the Kola Superdeep
Borehole, is in the process
484
00:24:06,792 --> 00:24:09,749
of trying to drill the
deepest hole in the world
485
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:12,124
as part of a drilling
race with the US
486
00:24:12,125 --> 00:24:15,542
to uncover scientific mysteries
close to the Earth's core.
487
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,291
But when these scientists
reach 7.6 miles
488
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:21,999
into the Earth's crust,
489
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,374
their equipment begins to
suffer odd malfunctions.
490
00:24:25,375 --> 00:24:26,541
According to the story,
491
00:24:26,542 --> 00:24:28,332
several heat
resistant microphones
492
00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:30,124
were lowered into the hole
493
00:24:30,125 --> 00:24:32,582
in an attempt to discover
what was going wrong.
494
00:24:32,583 --> 00:24:34,999
Years later, a
recording surfaced
495
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,582
that alleges to capture
what these mics picked up
496
00:24:37,583 --> 00:24:40,624
and the sounds are nothing
short of terrifying.
497
00:24:45,667 --> 00:24:48,291
We hear what sounds like
an endless cacophony
498
00:24:48,292 --> 00:24:49,749
of human screams.
499
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:52,666
The scientists themselves
allegedly refer to it
500
00:24:52,667 --> 00:24:54,541
as the sounds of Hell.
501
00:24:59,458 --> 00:25:00,832
Unfortunately, the
Russian government
502
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:02,749
is not releasing a
lot of information,
503
00:25:02,750 --> 00:25:06,749
but it could be some kind of
warning, like a bad spirit,
504
00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:08,999
saying, "Maybe you shouldn't
drill down this far
505
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,583
because you're not going
to like what comes up."
506
00:25:12,542 --> 00:25:13,999
Christians began to quit,
507
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,457
a concern that perhaps
this was something
508
00:25:16,458 --> 00:25:17,666
that they should not have done
509
00:25:17,667 --> 00:25:19,916
or for fear of divine reprisal
510
00:25:19,917 --> 00:25:23,916
for accidentally or purposefully
drilling into Hell itself.
511
00:25:23,917 --> 00:25:26,457
At this time,
speculation began to swirl
512
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:28,332
about why the Russians
were drilling in Kola
513
00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:29,707
in the first place.
514
00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:31,707
A lot of religions
believe that Hell itself
515
00:25:31,708 --> 00:25:33,666
exists below the
surface of the Earth.
516
00:25:33,667 --> 00:25:36,124
There was some questioning
as to whether the Russians
517
00:25:36,125 --> 00:25:40,666
were attempting to make
contact with the devil.
518
00:25:40,667 --> 00:25:42,832
The majority of human
beings throughout history
519
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,832
have always believed in Hell.
520
00:25:44,833 --> 00:25:48,957
I've had so many experiences
at exorcisms, and evil spirits,
521
00:25:48,958 --> 00:25:52,624
they certainly acknowledge
that they are coming from Hell.
522
00:25:52,625 --> 00:25:55,374
But if Hell
exists, is it underground?
523
00:25:55,375 --> 00:25:58,832
While the general idea of Hell
goes back to the time of Christ,
524
00:25:58,833 --> 00:26:00,832
it wasn't until the Middle Ages
525
00:26:00,833 --> 00:26:04,332
that Hell was depicted as
a pit of pain and torture.
526
00:26:04,333 --> 00:26:08,082
We really get our most
descriptive versions of Hell
527
00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:09,666
from Italian poet Dante,
528
00:26:09,667 --> 00:26:11,707
who wrote "The Inferno"
and "The Divine Comedy."
529
00:26:11,708 --> 00:26:14,332
We see kind of this
layered approach
530
00:26:14,333 --> 00:26:16,332
as Dante goes deeper into Hell.
531
00:26:16,333 --> 00:26:20,582
And the final circles of Hell
are these horrible, fiery places
532
00:26:20,583 --> 00:26:23,624
and souls are
essentially tortured
533
00:26:23,625 --> 00:26:26,041
for their evil deeds on Earth.
534
00:26:26,042 --> 00:26:29,624
If we believe that Hell
is a real physical place,
535
00:26:29,625 --> 00:26:32,041
it stands to reason that
those millions of souls
536
00:26:32,042 --> 00:26:34,666
would scream out in
agony quite loudly
537
00:26:34,667 --> 00:26:37,416
from the bowels of
this hellish cavern
538
00:26:37,417 --> 00:26:39,249
through the Earth's mantle.
539
00:26:43,208 --> 00:26:46,957
Back in 2016, a
Michigan-based priest
540
00:26:46,958 --> 00:26:48,749
claimed he got a glimpse of Hell
541
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:50,624
after suffering a heart attack.
542
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:51,957
He said he saw his soul
543
00:26:51,958 --> 00:26:55,041
travel deep into the
center of the Earth
544
00:26:55,042 --> 00:26:57,791
where he witnessed
men being burned alive
545
00:26:57,792 --> 00:27:01,041
and humanoids that
walked on all fours.
546
00:27:01,042 --> 00:27:05,457
Could this audio recording
help verify those visions?
547
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:07,666
Let's listen to the experts.
548
00:27:11,292 --> 00:27:14,916
NASA geologist Bob Anderson
explores the initial problem
549
00:27:14,917 --> 00:27:16,916
with the Kola Superdeep hole,
550
00:27:16,917 --> 00:27:19,582
those odd equipment
malfunctions.
551
00:27:19,583 --> 00:27:21,749
As you go deeper
down into the rock,
552
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:23,957
the Earth is getting warmer.
553
00:27:23,958 --> 00:27:27,499
And so, as they go down, the
drill bits start slowing down.
554
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,499
When they put the
microphones down,
555
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,749
the temperature was increasing
to a very high temperature.
556
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:35,749
We don't have microphones
that can handle 2,000 degrees,
557
00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:38,874
and so basically, the
microphones are deteriorating
558
00:27:38,875 --> 00:27:42,499
as they go down, and you get
some really weird sounds.
559
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:45,916
So the heat might have
produced the recorded sounds,
560
00:27:45,917 --> 00:27:48,249
but to many, they
do sound human.
561
00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:53,791
The sounds that we can
identify are moans and howls
562
00:27:53,792 --> 00:27:55,957
that are within
the frequency range
563
00:27:55,958 --> 00:27:58,957
and the characteristics
that a human could produce.
564
00:27:58,958 --> 00:28:01,624
Could this truly
be a chorus of the damned?
565
00:28:01,625 --> 00:28:04,874
According to Maher, the
devil is in the details.
566
00:28:04,875 --> 00:28:06,749
There are several
characteristics
567
00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:08,124
in the spectrogram
568
00:28:08,125 --> 00:28:11,707
that we can see that have
an identical duplicate
569
00:28:11,708 --> 00:28:13,666
at other points
in the recording.
570
00:28:13,667 --> 00:28:16,499
So there's a particular
shriek utterance here,
571
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:18,374
which matches one
at the beginning,
572
00:28:18,375 --> 00:28:21,207
and then that same utterance
appears here at the end.
573
00:28:26,875 --> 00:28:28,457
It would be literally impossible
574
00:28:28,458 --> 00:28:31,957
to make those exact
duplicates that we see here.
575
00:28:31,958 --> 00:28:35,457
So again, the indications are
that those are simply loops
576
00:28:35,458 --> 00:28:36,749
of a single recording.
577
00:28:36,750 --> 00:28:39,041
This was mixed or put together
578
00:28:39,042 --> 00:28:43,041
rather than being a continuous
authentic recording.
579
00:28:46,625 --> 00:28:48,124
Our verdict?
580
00:28:48,125 --> 00:28:51,874
We are saying this is a
hoax tied to a real event.
581
00:28:51,875 --> 00:28:54,207
While the drilling operation
itself was in fact real,
582
00:28:54,208 --> 00:28:56,207
the stories of
these strange sounds
583
00:28:56,208 --> 00:28:58,874
seem to be nothing
more than fiction.
584
00:28:58,875 --> 00:29:01,957
In recent years, the depth
record of the Kola Borehole
585
00:29:01,958 --> 00:29:04,082
has already been broken twice.
586
00:29:04,083 --> 00:29:06,832
So if there is anything
that lies below,
587
00:29:06,833 --> 00:29:10,250
we may be getting closer
and closer to finding it.
588
00:29:14,292 --> 00:29:18,207
Can evil spirits possess
our bodies even after we die?
589
00:29:18,208 --> 00:29:20,499
In our next story, we
take a look at evidence
590
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:22,041
from an ancient burial ground
591
00:29:22,042 --> 00:29:25,041
that indicates a genuine
fear of the undead
592
00:29:25,042 --> 00:29:27,582
among a terrified community.
593
00:29:27,583 --> 00:29:29,707
Were they onto something?
594
00:29:29,708 --> 00:29:33,582
It's late 2023 in the
village of Pien, Poland.
595
00:29:33,583 --> 00:29:36,541
Dariusz Polinski, along with
his team of fellow researchers,
596
00:29:36,542 --> 00:29:40,374
are excavating an unmarked
17th century cemetery
597
00:29:40,375 --> 00:29:42,582
first discovered in 2005.
598
00:29:42,583 --> 00:29:46,916
Archeologists have unearthed
nearly 100 graves at the site.
599
00:29:46,917 --> 00:29:49,166
Their digs just keep
getting stranger
600
00:29:49,167 --> 00:29:51,957
until they make this
ghastly discovery.
601
00:29:51,958 --> 00:29:53,874
This photo shows remains
602
00:29:53,875 --> 00:29:57,374
that archeologists say are
those of a six-year-old boy
603
00:29:57,375 --> 00:30:01,749
who was buried face down with
a padlock under his left foot
604
00:30:01,750 --> 00:30:04,249
that's seemingly
chaining him to the Earth
605
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:07,082
as if to keep the
body from getting up
606
00:30:07,083 --> 00:30:08,250
and leaving the grave.
607
00:30:19,042 --> 00:30:21,624
A woman's body was
also found in the cemetery
608
00:30:21,625 --> 00:30:23,374
with a sickle around the neck
609
00:30:23,375 --> 00:30:26,457
placed in such a way that if
the deceased tried to get up,
610
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:29,333
the head would be severed
or at least injured.
611
00:30:40,458 --> 00:30:41,457
What's going on here?
612
00:30:41,458 --> 00:30:42,916
Journalist Erin McCarthy
613
00:30:42,917 --> 00:30:46,499
says it could tie back to
the concept of reanimation.
614
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,041
Reanimation of this kind
615
00:30:48,042 --> 00:30:51,874
was a really big fear in
Poland in the 17th century.
616
00:30:51,875 --> 00:30:53,458
They were really
afraid of revenants.
617
00:30:54,917 --> 00:30:56,332
Revenant might not be a term
618
00:30:56,333 --> 00:30:58,541
that many people
are familiar with.
619
00:30:58,542 --> 00:31:00,874
It actually comes from
the French word revenir,
620
00:31:00,875 --> 00:31:02,166
meaning to come back,
621
00:31:02,167 --> 00:31:04,041
and it describes a
number of creatures
622
00:31:04,042 --> 00:31:05,499
that rise from the dead.
623
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,207
If the idea behind
the demonic-like beings
624
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:10,916
known as revenants,
sounds familiar,
625
00:31:10,917 --> 00:31:12,874
it's because the
concept would overlap
626
00:31:12,875 --> 00:31:15,374
into what we now
call the vampire.
627
00:31:15,375 --> 00:31:19,332
Many folklorists suggest that
there was a perceived outbreak
628
00:31:19,333 --> 00:31:21,666
of vampirism in most
of Eastern Europe
629
00:31:21,667 --> 00:31:24,374
during the 17th
and 18th centuries,
630
00:31:24,375 --> 00:31:27,749
where many individuals
reported seeing violent acts
631
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:30,166
perpetrated by recently
deceased individuals
632
00:31:30,167 --> 00:31:32,374
who continue to walk the Earth.
633
00:31:32,375 --> 00:31:36,832
One famous tale in 1674, a
Polish man rose from the dead
634
00:31:36,833 --> 00:31:39,957
and he was going around sucking
the blood of his neighbors.
635
00:31:39,958 --> 00:31:41,916
His nocturnal
wanderings only stopped
636
00:31:41,917 --> 00:31:44,207
when the body was decapitated.
637
00:31:44,208 --> 00:31:46,999
Historians suggest
materials made of iron,
638
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,457
like this small lock,
639
00:31:48,458 --> 00:31:51,874
were used to keep members
of the undead at bay.
640
00:31:51,875 --> 00:31:53,916
There are hundreds
of burials like this
641
00:31:53,917 --> 00:31:56,041
across the Baltic states,
642
00:31:56,042 --> 00:31:59,374
in Poland, in Bulgaria,
and in other areas.
643
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:01,791
Vampire burials were so
pervasive at this time
644
00:32:01,792 --> 00:32:03,374
that officials
actually banned them
645
00:32:03,375 --> 00:32:05,124
to try to tamp down
on the superstitions
646
00:32:05,125 --> 00:32:06,207
about the creatures.
647
00:32:06,208 --> 00:32:08,832
However, this is the only time
648
00:32:08,833 --> 00:32:11,542
a child has been
found buried this way.
649
00:32:12,792 --> 00:32:14,124
Many scholars today
650
00:32:14,125 --> 00:32:17,291
believe that the legends
we now know as vampires,
651
00:32:17,292 --> 00:32:19,541
first originated
amongst Slavic people
652
00:32:19,542 --> 00:32:21,457
as early as the 4th century.
653
00:32:21,458 --> 00:32:23,124
The word vampire itself
654
00:32:23,125 --> 00:32:26,999
is thought to be derived
from the Latin word impurus,
655
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,541
meaning impure or unclean.
656
00:32:29,542 --> 00:32:33,707
Could these remains really
belong to early blood suckers?
657
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:35,707
Let's see what
our experts think.
658
00:32:39,083 --> 00:32:41,207
Archeologist Dr. Ed Barnhart
659
00:32:41,208 --> 00:32:44,749
believes we are seeing what
he calls apotropaic burials,
660
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:47,041
burials conducted
in a specific manner
661
00:32:47,042 --> 00:32:49,249
with the intention
of warding off evil.
662
00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:52,291
Practically speaking,
shackling someone's toe
663
00:32:52,292 --> 00:32:55,082
is not going to prevent
them from getting up.
664
00:32:55,083 --> 00:32:56,374
But their talismans,
665
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:59,874
the material mattered,
the placement mattered,
666
00:32:59,875 --> 00:33:04,041
but they were basically
magic incantations
667
00:33:04,042 --> 00:33:07,791
that prevented that
body from coming back.
668
00:33:07,792 --> 00:33:10,957
But Barnhart suggests
that the reason this child
669
00:33:10,958 --> 00:33:13,374
may have been considered
a revenant-like vampire
670
00:33:13,375 --> 00:33:16,249
could be due to ignorance of
a more real world condition.
671
00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:17,582
Somehow or another,
672
00:33:17,583 --> 00:33:21,207
these people were
mistreated or misunderstood.
673
00:33:21,208 --> 00:33:23,707
Perhaps they had
a mental illness
674
00:33:23,708 --> 00:33:25,916
that people didn't
sympathize with,
675
00:33:25,917 --> 00:33:28,249
but the remedy was
always the same.
676
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:30,207
Keep that body in its grave,
677
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:33,374
make sure that it can't
wriggle out of the dirt
678
00:33:33,375 --> 00:33:34,541
and come for us.
679
00:33:34,542 --> 00:33:36,541
Anthropologist
Kathy Strain adds
680
00:33:36,542 --> 00:33:39,207
that sometimes just
getting sick and dying
681
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:40,957
could provoke this
extreme reaction.
682
00:33:40,958 --> 00:33:42,291
During the time of the plague,
683
00:33:42,292 --> 00:33:46,166
they probably
overreacted in fear
684
00:33:46,167 --> 00:33:48,166
and that might be what
we're seeing here.
685
00:33:48,167 --> 00:33:50,207
It logically makes sense to me
686
00:33:50,208 --> 00:33:52,666
that the six-year-old
was probably targeted
687
00:33:52,667 --> 00:33:55,624
because he was sick first
and they wanted to make sure
688
00:33:55,625 --> 00:33:59,624
that whatever it is that
he had didn't spread.
689
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:04,541
Our verdict?
690
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:07,374
We're going with
superstitious burial.
691
00:34:07,375 --> 00:34:09,291
There has never
been tangible proof
692
00:34:09,292 --> 00:34:11,374
over the last several centuries
693
00:34:11,375 --> 00:34:15,124
to establish the existence
of revenant-like vampires.
694
00:34:15,125 --> 00:34:17,207
But whatever was going
on with this child
695
00:34:17,208 --> 00:34:20,667
spooked these people enough
to bury him in this way.
696
00:34:24,667 --> 00:34:26,957
We end tonight with a
disturbing piece of video
697
00:34:26,958 --> 00:34:28,291
out of Poland.
698
00:34:28,292 --> 00:34:30,332
As we mentioned earlier,
many European countries
699
00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:32,041
are showing a steady increase
700
00:34:32,042 --> 00:34:34,874
in reports of supposed
demonic possession.
701
00:34:34,875 --> 00:34:38,042
And in this case, the local
cops had to get involved.
702
00:34:39,458 --> 00:34:42,332
We're in Poland again, but
this story is much more recent.
703
00:34:42,333 --> 00:34:46,457
It's New Year's Eve 2022
in the village of Grubsko.
704
00:34:46,458 --> 00:34:49,541
Three local policemen
are dispatched to a house
705
00:34:49,542 --> 00:34:52,874
after receiving a phone call
from a disturbed neighbor
706
00:34:52,875 --> 00:34:56,417
who claims to be hearing strange
noises coming from within.
707
00:34:58,375 --> 00:35:01,832
This horrifying video
has been verified as real
708
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:03,208
by the Polish police.
709
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:11,666
Supposedly,
these monstrous sounds
710
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:14,707
are coming from a 20-year-old
woman named Kamilka
711
00:35:14,708 --> 00:35:17,749
who has barricaded
herself inside the attic.
712
00:35:20,375 --> 00:35:21,999
The police attempt
to coax her out
713
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,207
as she continues to snarl like
some type of ferocious beast.
714
00:35:31,333 --> 00:35:37,207
If there was ever such a thing
as a classic demonic possession,
715
00:35:37,208 --> 00:35:38,874
this would be it.
716
00:35:38,875 --> 00:35:44,416
Clearly, this is somebody
who went out of her element,
717
00:35:44,417 --> 00:35:47,541
her own personality,
and for whatever reason,
718
00:35:47,542 --> 00:35:51,291
took on the
personality of another.
719
00:35:51,292 --> 00:35:52,999
And while
Brooks stresses
720
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,707
that this is just
a first impression,
721
00:35:54,708 --> 00:35:58,416
she says that Poland has
become ground zero of sorts
722
00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:00,749
in a battle between
satanic forces
723
00:36:00,750 --> 00:36:02,624
and the religiously devout.
724
00:36:02,625 --> 00:36:06,374
Poland is actually the largest
Roman Catholic population
725
00:36:06,375 --> 00:36:07,625
in all of Europe.
726
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:10,457
So there's a concentration
of exorcists in Poland,
727
00:36:10,458 --> 00:36:13,832
about the same number as
the whole United States,
728
00:36:13,833 --> 00:36:18,291
and yet Poland is only about
the size of New Mexico.
729
00:36:18,292 --> 00:36:20,249
Brooks
mentions online rumors
730
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:23,374
claim Kamilka had been using
a Ouija board with friends
731
00:36:23,375 --> 00:36:25,207
earlier that same evening.
732
00:36:25,208 --> 00:36:27,332
There's very rich
and long history
733
00:36:27,333 --> 00:36:30,166
associated with the Ouija board.
734
00:36:30,167 --> 00:36:32,999
It became known in
the early 20th century
735
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,957
as something that would be used
736
00:36:34,958 --> 00:36:36,749
as portals to other dimensions
737
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:40,541
in which certain entities
can then come through.
738
00:36:40,542 --> 00:36:43,499
There are story after story
739
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:46,374
of nefarious
incidents happening,
740
00:36:46,375 --> 00:36:48,624
including but not
limited to possession
741
00:36:48,625 --> 00:36:51,416
as a result of
using a Ouija board.
742
00:36:51,417 --> 00:36:53,624
The Ouija board
was originally invented
743
00:36:53,625 --> 00:36:55,791
as a parlor game
in the late 1800s
744
00:36:55,792 --> 00:36:57,707
when many Americans
became obsessed
745
00:36:57,708 --> 00:37:01,082
with the spiritual idea of
communicating with the dead.
746
00:37:01,083 --> 00:37:03,166
By the 20th century,
it was a tool
747
00:37:03,167 --> 00:37:05,874
frequently used by
popular occultists,
748
00:37:05,875 --> 00:37:07,249
like Aleister Crowley.
749
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:09,457
Many experts
believe Ouija boards
750
00:37:09,458 --> 00:37:11,124
should not be taken lightly.
751
00:37:11,125 --> 00:37:15,541
These things do
communicate with spirits.
752
00:37:15,542 --> 00:37:17,791
The problem being
is that one minute
753
00:37:17,792 --> 00:37:21,041
you're talking to your
wonderful deceased grandmother,
754
00:37:21,042 --> 00:37:23,833
and the next minute you're
talking to a demonic spirit.
755
00:37:25,208 --> 00:37:27,541
So could
Kamilka have accidentally
756
00:37:27,542 --> 00:37:29,707
opened the door
to an evil entity,
757
00:37:29,708 --> 00:37:32,332
and could that explain
how a 20-year-old girl
758
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:34,332
can make these inhuman sounds?
759
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:36,832
Something negative
got to this woman.
760
00:37:36,833 --> 00:37:40,374
Something scared her so
badly, she lost her mind,
761
00:37:40,375 --> 00:37:42,625
might have even
become possessed.
762
00:37:43,958 --> 00:37:46,082
With more than 150 exorcists
763
00:37:46,083 --> 00:37:48,207
currently working in Poland,
764
00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:49,666
the practice has
become so popular
765
00:37:49,667 --> 00:37:52,082
that the Catholic church
has approved plans
766
00:37:52,083 --> 00:37:56,874
for an exorcism center in the
country's city of Katowice.
767
00:37:56,875 --> 00:37:58,874
It's described as a
place where priests
768
00:37:58,875 --> 00:38:02,541
will be able to hone and
perfect their exorcism skills.
769
00:38:02,542 --> 00:38:05,832
So are we witnessing an actual
case of demonic possession
770
00:38:05,833 --> 00:38:09,999
in this video, or is there
something else going on?
771
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,791
We turn to our experts.
772
00:38:15,417 --> 00:38:17,541
As we did in our
other investigations
773
00:38:17,542 --> 00:38:18,874
into demonic possession,
774
00:38:18,875 --> 00:38:21,082
we checked in with our
forensic audio analyst
775
00:38:21,083 --> 00:38:23,374
to see if these sounds
were even human.
776
00:38:26,208 --> 00:38:29,541
For a normal speech sound
or even somebody yelling,
777
00:38:29,542 --> 00:38:31,832
we expect that the
fundamental frequency
778
00:38:31,833 --> 00:38:36,874
is probably in the range of
perhaps 200 hertz, 250 hertz,
779
00:38:36,875 --> 00:38:40,541
but with this growl sound,
there's a lot of energy
780
00:38:40,542 --> 00:38:42,624
right around 1,000 hertz.
781
00:38:42,625 --> 00:38:44,874
So does that
mean these vocalizations
782
00:38:44,875 --> 00:38:46,374
are truly inhuman?
783
00:38:46,375 --> 00:38:47,582
Not necessarily.
784
00:38:47,583 --> 00:38:49,207
If we look at a recording
785
00:38:49,208 --> 00:38:51,457
that has been made
of a voice actor...
786
00:38:54,542 --> 00:38:56,874
We see again that
we have this energy
787
00:38:56,875 --> 00:39:00,916
located in the spectrum
up and around 1,000 hertz,
788
00:39:00,917 --> 00:39:02,666
which is what we also heard
789
00:39:02,667 --> 00:39:05,582
in the sound from
the recording scene.
790
00:39:11,542 --> 00:39:13,707
So it's plausible
that a human being
791
00:39:13,708 --> 00:39:16,082
would be able to make
that shriek sound.
792
00:39:16,083 --> 00:39:18,916
Okay, so nothing
inhuman about these sounds.
793
00:39:18,917 --> 00:39:21,374
Psychiatrist and demonic
possession expert
794
00:39:21,375 --> 00:39:23,916
Richard Gallagher is
also conflicted on this
795
00:39:23,917 --> 00:39:26,541
being real evidence of
an actual possession.
796
00:39:26,542 --> 00:39:30,332
There is some suggestive
sign that that's a possibility,
797
00:39:30,333 --> 00:39:31,874
but you'd need a
lot more evidence.
798
00:39:31,875 --> 00:39:35,457
I would wanna know much more
about this woman's background,
799
00:39:35,458 --> 00:39:37,374
interview people who know her,
800
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:40,166
and find out more
about her history.
801
00:39:40,167 --> 00:39:41,291
Almost all the time,
802
00:39:41,292 --> 00:39:44,582
if you get all the
facts of the case,
803
00:39:44,583 --> 00:39:47,249
you can make a discernment
one way or the other.
804
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:48,541
And while
many of the facts
805
00:39:48,542 --> 00:39:49,957
remain shrouded in mystery,
806
00:39:49,958 --> 00:39:52,457
authorities confirmed that
the woman in this video
807
00:39:52,458 --> 00:39:54,874
was eventually checked
into a hospital.
808
00:39:54,875 --> 00:39:57,666
Whenever a young person
presents to the hospital
809
00:39:57,667 --> 00:40:00,499
with bizarre behavior,
illicit drug use
810
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,291
has to be high up on your
list of differentials.
811
00:40:04,292 --> 00:40:07,749
It's not uncommon for people
to be like this in hospital.
812
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:10,707
If we were to witness that
in the emergency department,
813
00:40:10,708 --> 00:40:14,874
it wouldn't even be the most
crazy story of the week.
814
00:40:14,875 --> 00:40:16,374
I think this footage
815
00:40:16,375 --> 00:40:19,207
conjures up the idea
of a horror movie,
816
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:20,832
but based on the
limited evidence,
817
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:24,874
there's no clear understanding
of exactly what's gone on here.
818
00:40:28,875 --> 00:40:29,832
Our verdict?
819
00:40:29,833 --> 00:40:32,541
We're saying this
is unexplained.
820
00:40:32,542 --> 00:40:34,166
On one hand, this video
821
00:40:34,167 --> 00:40:37,666
doesn't satisfy any of the
verifiable signs of possession
822
00:40:37,667 --> 00:40:39,666
according to our experts.
823
00:40:39,667 --> 00:40:41,249
Yet, when we dug further,
824
00:40:41,250 --> 00:40:43,582
the authorities
refused to elaborate
825
00:40:43,583 --> 00:40:45,291
rather than just debunking it,
826
00:40:45,292 --> 00:40:47,207
which seems odd to some.
827
00:40:47,208 --> 00:40:51,874
So as of today, Kamilka's
story is still an open case.
828
00:40:51,875 --> 00:40:53,707
And that's our
episode for tonight.
829
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:55,957
Although many believe
the devil's presence
830
00:40:55,958 --> 00:40:58,624
continues to grow
within modern society,
831
00:40:58,625 --> 00:41:02,707
much of what we found appears
to be hoaxes or misjudgments
832
00:41:02,708 --> 00:41:05,332
rooted in faith-based ideas.
833
00:41:05,333 --> 00:41:07,416
However, there are
still a couple of cases
834
00:41:07,417 --> 00:41:10,374
we just can't explain.
835
00:41:10,375 --> 00:41:12,374
Thank you so much for watching,
836
00:41:12,375 --> 00:41:15,083
and as always, keep
those cameras rolling.
