All language subtitles for Paranormal Survivor - S02E01 - Ghost Attacks

There was just nothing to
explain it, nothing. It was

just very, very scary. You are
about to see real people. This

is not normal. Reliving
horrifying paranormal

encounters for the first time.
Oh, I felt terror. When ghosts

attacked the living. He wanted
her and he was going to get

her.

I buried this for nearly 30
years. Be prepared to be

afraid.

Story number 2-1, take one. Al
Kelchner dreamed of living a

quiet life in the countryside
and in two thousand one, he

needed some peace more than
ever. I went through a

difficult period in 2001,
including my father's death,

911 and then I was laid off
from the company that I was

working for. I'd reached a
point in my life where I needed

a change. I needed some calm in
my life. My dad was a farm boy

so being out in the country
especially someone who is from

the urban New York metropolitan
area that was a big thrill. So

Al made a change. He left New
York City and bought a hobby

farm in Illinois. It was kind
of, I don't know, magical. It

just fulfilled every
expectation I had about the

type of little farm I wanted.

Was picture, postcard perfect.
I just saw potential

possibilities. Al was so taken
with the farm that he bought it

on impulse without having
stepped foot inside. It would

be a decision he'd live to
regret. It's very dark,

physically, literally,
physically dark. Oh, this was

threatening. It just, you felt
uneasy the second you walked

into that house. You felt as
though you were being watched.

Was very a very negative dark
energy and and extremely

intimidating. I did its
subsequent research and found

out that it was a pretty
interesting place. There's a

lot of history from early from
the revolution and colonial

days. I was very conflicted. I
found my little dream farm but

the same time I hated going
home at night. The drive at the

closer I got, the more unnerved
I became because I knew I had

to open that back door and walk
into a totally dark house

around the country by myself.
Al's uneasy feeling in the

house remained just a feeling
until a few days after he moved

in. One morning I got up and I
went into the bathroom to

shower and get ready for work.

And the bathroom was a mess,
towels were on the floor.

Toiletries were scattered
around. Items had been taken

out of the cabinet and they
were laying across the top of

the vanity. I was uneasy. I had
no no logical explanation.

Little did Al know this was
just the beginning. Soon he

began to experience other
strange phenomena.

There was walking, talking, and
frequently my face was touched

and stroked.

Was one of those experiences
you can't see, you can't

explain, and it's really
unnerving. But that wasn't the

end of it. I was sitting in the
family room and talking with a

friend on the phone. When I
heard suddenly loud knocking by

the front door in the living
room,

which was a room and a half
away.

And then moved into the parlor
which is adjacent to the living

room

and upstairs directly over my
head.

It probably lasted a couple of
minutes and it was incredibly

unnerving and that was when I
finally threw in the towel,

raised the white flag and said,
okay, I believe in you. So,

we're going to have to
co-exist. If Al thought

acknowledging whatever was
haunting his house would calm

the activity, He was wrong.

I was in the corner of the
kitchen. I had bread in the

toaster and as I stood there,
all of a sudden, I felt a sharp

pain in the back of my neck. I
thought, well, maybe I slept

the wrong way and pinched a
nerve The pain spread through

my shoulders down into my chest
and I thought, oh my god, I

just bought this place. I'm
going to have a heart attack in

my new residence and nobody's
going to find me. You know,

this is this is just awful. But
then I realized that it wasn't

from stress. Um it was someone
who had wrapped their arms

around me and was squeezing
tighter and tighter. And I said

stop it. And immediately it
stopped and dissipated. But

that wasn't the end of it. On
Thursday the same weekend about

the same time, same location,
same routine, toast in the

toaster, it happened again.
This time though just was an

immediate bear hug. Someone
very large, very strong, very

powerful, wrapping their arms
around me and pulling me close.

And again I yelled stop it and
it stopped immediately.

I felt terrified. I I couldn't
see anything but obviously

there was something that had a
physical effect on me. So I had

no answers. A house could feel
physically threatening

depending on what entity your
spirit is occupying the house.

Spirits are what they were in
life. So if you're a violent

person in life if you're an
angry person in life you

probably carry that to the
other side. Spirits can get

violent if they just don't want
you around. They could want to

chase you out. It was a test.
Let's see if you're going to

stay around. But Al did stay
around. I went upstairs. So I

turned into the northwest
bedroom and I I opened the door

the minute I stepped foot in
that room. I felt nauseous. I

felt terror.

And I felt as though something
was pulling me down to the

floor.

Terror was terror was almost
debilitating.

I I was pushed a couple times.
I was struck and all of a

sudden I felt a sharp sharp
pain in my right ribs. And that

lasted for probably three weeks
before it finally dissipated.

Al started to realize that his
life was in danger. I had a

fight or flight instinct and
the instinct was to flee so I

did.

It's really terrifying the
sense that you're not alone.

That something bad could
happen.

After experiencing a string of
strange events in his

picture-perfect farmhouse, Al
Kelchner was under attack. The

feeling of of dread and and
doom was overbearing.

Al decided he needed outside
help. I decided to open up the

house to investigative teams.
It really started with wanting

a confirmation that what was
happening to me, one was really

happening and number two, I
wasn't losing my mind. I'm

pretty sensitive to the spirit
so when I get to a location, I

can kind of sense there was a
lot of animosity going on at

this place. Before I go to any
location, I would always try to

do some research on it. I read
a lot about the people that own

the farm initially. There was a
doctor as well that lived at

the property and from what I
understand, he did some crazy

things with the children. He
would molest them.

Did you hear that? Within a few
hours, we heard screams by

doing some EVP sessions. The
things that were scary to me

were there were a lot of black
shadows at the property. I

heard noises coming from the
staircase that was behind me. I

heard somebody running down the
stairs.

I felt something come up close
to my back and the next thing I

know, I felt just like a bear
hug completely around my

stomach. This would not be the
only investigation at Al's

Farm. As time went on and I had
groups come in, members of

these investigating teams seem
to observe more and more,

shadow figures. One of the most
amazing experiences I've had at

that house was an evening when
a small group was there.

One of the people sitting at
the dining room table said, oh

my god, there is a shadow
walking back and forth in the

living room and sure enough,
the window was completely

blacked out. They observed them
outside through the windows,

walking between the bar and the
machine shed and inside the

house. And then that morphed
into what looked like the

figure of a person. And for the
next half hour we watched that

shadow walk around in the the
living room. It was pretty

profound. Seeing a shadow
figure, if it's shadow man, you

are seeing a spirit trying to
manifest itself is trying to

show itself to you. So it forms
as a dark mass. Shadow people

On the other hand, they were
never human. They're a bit more

physical, larger shadows with
heads, no necks, big shoulders.

It could be you are going
through a weakness at the time

and they're taking advantage of
it. Um you could be also

dabbling in something you're
not supposed to be dabbling in

and they come as a warning.
Shadow people can be pretty bad

and could hurt people. I was
scared frightened for Al's

safety. I was told there could
be up to 30 spirits in the

house at one time which I
thought was an exaggeration but

when I hear that multiple times
repeated to me over a period of

years then I start to pay
attention. I knew the place was

haunted but I didn't realize
how haunted it really was.

There was a woman at the house
who came to visit and she

described every entity known
entity in the house. There was

a farmer. From the 19th century
who was in the kitchen. There

was a male entity in the
northwest bedroom of the house.

The report was that this entity
was a doctor who had a lot of

negative energy or was not very
nice. There came a point where

I needed answers and I needed
resolution. I believe it was

2011 to do something about the
energy at the house and noone

had ever done a cleansing
before. Cleanse this house of

all negativity. Oh and light
may enter. So we went from room

to room sage the corners high
and low was my responsibility

to make positive statements and
also banned any negative

energy. What I didn't know
although was told afterwards is

that the media with me could
hear growling furniture being

slammed. Negativity. Only love
and light may enter. Glances

how ghost of all negativity.
Only love and light may enter.

And apparently it worked
because as I look back on that

period in prior, the energy was
very dark at the house. It

isn't anymore. The cleansing
seemed to rid the house of its

ghosts but Al wasn't done with
the spirit world yet. There was

one final ghost and it was
waiting especially for him. A

woman in the house who was
usually found on the second

floor died in around
18forty-five. And the

connection was described to me
as something like a soulmate.

She described Sarah as my wife
from a past life. Um and it's

really difficult for me to wrap
my brain around. But they

recorded an EVP. It's very
brief. It's rapid but it's

pretty clear. It's a female
voice saying I love him. I love

It's hard for me to to
comprehend I really thought

about selling the house and
giving up my dream but I

decided to stick with it and
see what would unfold. Although

I know there's some very
negative energy my experience

for the most part has been
positive and somehow I managed

to cope with what was going on
around me and achieved some

level of acceptance and here I
am a years later.

When ghosts physically attack
the living, victims typically

feel themselves being squeezed
or hugged but sometimes, the

attacks can be even more
violent and leave scars that

never heal.

That's Tormentor story number
six.

I was in my 20s and I was in
bed. We were sleeping.

And all of a sudden I felt real
heavy in the chest and I woke

my husband up and I said get it
off my chest I can't breathe

honey what's going on and he
said there's nothing there and

I said there is I can't breathe

Okay. It lasted about 10
minutes. I felt like I was

being choked.

I was scared, you know. Nothing
like that had ever happened

before. And the next day, I had
bruises on my neck. They were

like finger marks. Karen didn't
know what to make of the

incident but it left her with
an uneasy feeling.

Next day, I got flowers.

It was like for a funeral.

A few days later, with her
husband away from work, Karen

had her next strange encounter.

I saw a man in a blue shirt.

I didn't recognize him at all.
I didn't see his face clear.

I always saw him at the bottom
of the bed. I was being

watched. I told him to stop to
go away. You're not welcome

here. Go away but he didn't. I
couldn't count the number of

times that I saw him. But one
night, the apparition did more

than just watch. I just felt
myself being pulled down and

then he would assault me.

Karen White had been attacked
in her bed by a spirit. And it

was every night. He would
assault me in one some way or

another and then he raped me.
It got to the point where I was

afraid to go to bed at night. I
have in fact heard of spirits

sexually assaulting or having
sex with the living. I had two

cases personally where that
happened. One of those cases

went on for almost 20 years.
Eventually the attack subsided.

Giving Karen some relief. I
wasn't being attacked so much.

But it took quite a while
before it stopped there.

In the following years, Karen
and her husband had a son, Ed.

With the nighttime attacks
having all but stopped, Karen

thought her torment was over
but the worst was yet to come.

I didn't know what would affect
them. I thought it was just me.

The first sign of trouble came
when the couple tried to have

their baby christened. Now, an
adult, Ed feels it was no

coincidence. The night before I
supposed to be baptized, the

church had burnt down so I
didn't go the next morning of

course. From his memories, Ed
recalls being tormented by evil

spirits. From age 3 and up,
it's a piece of cake

remembering almost everything
and especially all that the

horrible stuff.

I call him a tormentor. Always
come out of the closet, try to

scare the hell out of me, come
out from underneath the bed or

in front of the bed or he come
from a dark corner, got a long

face, spiked in a kind of
tongue, horns on top of the

head, black shiny skin. Best
tormentor. If he didn't come

out, it would be spiders. And
it would be the walls, the

ceiling, the floors, the bed,
everything covered in spiders

and even if I tried to scream,
it felt like spiders were

coming out of my mouth. So it
was a total nightmare city.

Mom tried to blame it off as
it's my imagination trying to

to calm me down not to freak me
out I knew it was something

different

I wasn't too shocked because
you know, I thought he was

having something like I was
having. I told him not to worry

about it. I barely didn't get
much sleep when I was a kid and

my parents did what most
parents do is they took me in

and had me checked out and none
of that made a difference but I

just had to kind of play along
so they wouldn't think I'm

crazy or I wouldn't get locked
up in a loony then.

The family was desperate to
move out but finances were a

problem. Eventually, they saved
enough to get a new home but

whatever was tormenting them
had no intention of letting

them go so easily. This thing
followed us there as well.

It get worse in the teenage
years.

Writing appeared on the wall.
She taught me to kill other

people, kill myself, ways of
killing myself. I just had to

keep putting all that stuff out
of my memory.

I felt bad for him. I just told
him it was okay. You know,

nothing bad is going to happen
to you. The torment continued

for 10 more years until finally
Karen and Ed sought outside

help. We have a friend who
belongs to a paranormal group.

It was through him that we got
this shaman.

They had us basically sit in
the chair like this. They put a

piece of cloth underneath the
underneath the chair and then

he used like a sea salt and an
eagle's feather and they just

brush down your body.

They fold up the the doll into
like a little totem and just

say that you give all your evil
spirits and energy to this

doll.

And then they're supposed to go
and burn it. They call it the

release place. The doll burns
completely, you're out of

trouble.

And sure enough, the next day,
they went to the burn site. My

doll didn't burn completely.

After a few months respite, The
torment and the man returned.

He disappeared for quite a
while.

I thought it was finished. It
was over with but there he was.

He's back.

Come on. Fearing for his
mother's safety, Ed took

matters into his own hands.
Come and get me. Come. I

challenged it and told it that
you want to attack somebody,

leave mom alone because mom's
in her seventies. I said, leave

mom alone. Bring it on. I'm
open for it. If you want to

attack somebody, you can come
and attack me.

To protect his mother from the
evil spirits that had tormented

her for years, Ed White
challenged them to come after

him. Bring it on. I'm open for
it. If you want to attack

somebody, you can come and
attack me. It was an ultimatum

he'd live to regret.

He was being attacked,
scratched.

My back is covered. My ribs, my
stomach, my chest. They take

months, sometimes years to heal
up.

We had nurse practitioner. She
measured my arms and the

scratches and she said there's
no way you could have made

those scratches yourself on
your back that body ain't meant

to bend that way so there's no
way it could have been you.

It's always in threes every
time it happens. The pain is is

unbelievable that goes with it.
You can't scream, you can't do

nothing. The theory is when you
get three scratches because

they usually come in threes
that it is the entity's way of

mocking the trinity. It's a
matter of making you afraid and

keeping you afraid so you don't
have the will to fight back. I

can be in bed. I could be in
mom's room. I could be

anywhere. I've known Edwin and
and Karen for about five years.

He's a kind, gentle soul and we
see him all the time. He was in

my yard and he dropped right to
his knees.

We were talking away and then
they saw my leg get red. They

saw the scratches come and then
they just saw the blood just

start gushing down the one leg.
He had three fresh scratches on

his leg. Deep red scratches. I
go, what was that? And he goes,

it got me again and I go, what
do you mean? And he's like,

they're after me again. These
demons, it was really weird.

You'd have to see it to believe
it. And the pizza man saw it

too.

He saw the skin rip open. Three
on each side and he's just

like, okay, let me get out of
here please.

To this day, Ed is still being
attacked by his tormentor. Some

people think you're crazy, you
know, sometimes. I worry about

Ed because he just can't take
it anymore. Most frightening

thing for me is the scratches
on my body and if they're

going to get worse or if it's
going to even be taken to

another level.

Whatever has been following me
around, there's going to be no

end to this. Ed and Karen are
currently searching for someone

who can rid Ed of his tormentor
once and for all. Not all ghost

attacks result in physical
assaults. Some of the most

terrifying can be when evil
spirits try to take away our

most precious things. Our
children.

Story number three featuring
Kristen take one.

We were renting a townhouse and
it was just a lot higher rent

so we moved into this house
which was a little cheaper. We

had a yard and just had all of
the amenities that we wanted.

After Kristen and her husband
Ken moved in with their

six-year-old daughter, Becca.
Tragedy struck. My aunt

committed suicide. She hung
herself in her basement of her

home. We're very close. Very
close. What you want? I think

she just had a lot of mental
things going on. At the

funeral, Kristen said goodbye
to a much loved aunt forever.

Or so she thought. Just you're
a wreck after those things, you

know. We got home. I was
grieving and I was mad at her.

I was severely mad.

I just ate at her and I
remember just yelling at her.

Why did you do this? Why? Just
yelling and screaming at her.

Because she was putting our
entire family through something

we shouldn't ever have to go
through.

I told her she was weak. I told
her that I was ashamed of her.

Um of course I'm screaming at
this point at her. Told her

that I hated her and that I
would never forgive her.

I'm sorry. But Kristin had no
idea that by venting her anger

and grief, she might have
opened a pathway to the spirit

world. Spirits and demons can
appear more often in times of

grief. When people are
grieving, it sometimes opens

doors for other things to come
in and pray on the vulnerable.

I was grieving severely. I was
angry. I was hateful. So, yeah,

I believe that quite possibly
that I could have let something

in at that point.

I remember one night it was
probably about 1130 and I was

flipping over laundry.

And I felt something behind me.

And I turned and looked and
there she was.

Overcome with grief after the
tragic death of her aunt,

Kristen Weitzel had unwittingly
invited something unexpected

into her home. And I turned and
looked and there she was.

I took off running up the
stairs screaming and I turned

around and my aunt was coming
up the steps after me. She

looked completely different,
demonic. You don't ever get

that sight out of your head and
at first, I thought I was going

crazy like I thought you're
wanting to see her so badly

because I didn't get to say
goodbye when it first begins to

happen. You kind of feel like
you're imagining all of this.

This isn't real. This isn't
happening and you just kind of

go on. Second time, you're
kind of like, oh god.

I would see her daily in
different locations of the

home.

Soon other strange activities
started to happen around the

house. My husband was working
nights and Um we were sitting

in the living room and we heard
bumping going on upstairs.

I went upstairs and my bedroom
door was open.

I heard a big boom and my
bedroom door is closed. There

was no drafts. There was no
windows open or anything.

Always felt like we were being
watched.

At night time, you would hear
noises downstairs in the

basements like clanging. Go
downstairs and off in the

corner, you would see a shadow
in the corner.

Looked as though a man that was
hunched over who was hovering

and his back was turned to you.
He scared me. He scared the

**** out of me because he would
never show me his face and he

just stood there lurking. You
don't know what they're capable

of. You don't know if by
interacting with them if that's

going to put your family at
danger, put them at risk. I

felt like I was going crazy.
Until now, the activity had

been limited to manifestations.
But that was about to change.

When it happened the first
time, I would remember waking

up in the middle of the night.
I would feel as though I was

being choked. I just felt like
there was something that was

had its hands around my neck
and was holding me down and I

couldn't yell out. I remember
screaming in my dream and I

remember yelling for my husband
but in all actuality, I wasn't.

He never heard me at all. It
became a nightly thing.

Spirits can physically attack
an individual. If you're

dealing with a more malevolent
entity, the idea is to torment

you, to make you weak, and to
keep you that way. Malevolent

energies want to be in control.
And Kristen wasn't the only one

in danger.

The kids would tell us that
they hear things and that they

saw things and that they felt
things. Searching for answers,

the couple discovered that the
house was an old railway house

that had a secret past. The
house was built. It was a

slave, a slave home and the
upstairs was the master's

quarters. Off of the sidewalls,
there were little rooms and

they were cubby holes where the
slaves would go and hide when

the masters were entertaining
guests. Well, you still had

access from Rebecca's room into
one of what was the slave's

quarters.

Becca would say that a man on
fire would come out of that

kebi hole that used to be the
slave quarters.

At first, she kind of, she
kind of made it sound like it

was a dream. Mom, there's a man
in my room. It started off he

was only coming like maybe like
once a month.

And then it became two to three
times a week and then it became

a nightly thing that he was
coming to her.

He would encourage her to go
with him. He wanted her and he

was he was going to get her.

An apparition of a burning man
was threatening to take Kristen

Weitzel's daughter away with
him. He wanted her and he was

he was going to get her.

It scared her pretty badly.
Mom. Immediately as a mother,

you're going into protection
mode. Is he trying to take her

soul? Like what's he trying to
do? And all I could think is

you're not taking mine. It's
not happening. She's mine. And

I told her, you tell him no
that you're not going anywhere.

You stay right here. Um I can't
protect you if you're gone.

There's no greater fear than
fear that your child is not

safe in their own home.

Fearing for her family's
safety, Kristin calls in

paranormal investigators. A lot
of times, spirits can be

attracted to loss or mourning.
Demons can come around because

they follow someone. A lot of
negative energy can happen. To

get started, we took in our EVP
recorders, our K2 meters, and

our DVR system at the time. My
husband and Jeremy were

downstairs in the basement. We
had motion detectors on every

floor and from there, we just
began asking questions. Who are

you? What is your name? Why are
you here?

All of a sudden, this real
deep, nasty, maniacal man came

over our EVP recorders just
laughing at us. It was very

overwhelming and kind of
frightening. Voices on the

EVPs, they were mocking my
husband. Jeremy, you there?

Something's moving upstairs.
Our motion detectors would go

off and we'd go up to see what
was causing it and as soon as

we went upstairs. Jeremy,
Jeremy, motion detector

downstairs in the basement
would go off. Almost like it

was playing games with us. Come
in, come in, Jeremy. And all of

a sudden, we just see a shadow
just go from the front door

into where we are. Really fast.
And you can edit this out. I

remember him saying his exact
words, oh. They did not stay in

that basement very long. I
don't think that their feet

touched the stairs. He had to
be scared. Quite honestly, he

had to be. Who wouldn't?
Investigation in client to me

is one of the most active
places I've been to. A part of

me believes that it's just
negative spirits from the

railroad days but another part
of me believes that it could be

demonic. With the paranormal
activity getting more intense,

Kristen and Ken decided to get
the house cleansed. When we

conducted the cleansing, we had
two wickeds with us and they

conducted the blessing and they
went into every crack and

cranny of that house with salt
and oils.

According to them, they were
able to kick out the real

maniacal spirits.

Although the house was
cleansed, the family couldn't

live with the memories of what
they went through and decided

to move. You can't force a
child to feel safe again. It

definitely was the scariest
period of my life. You're not

in control. It's time to cut
our ties and go. My aunt had

passed away and normally that's
who I would go to to talk to

but she wasn't there. It's hard
to recover from something like

that.

I'm I'm never going to go back
there. I haven't been back and

I don't plan on ever going
back.
