All language subtitles for Paranormal Survivor - S04E03 - Taken Over By Spirits HD

I was scared to death.

It wasn't a person.

You are about to see
real people...

I knew this had to be a ghost.

...reliving horrifying
paranormal encounters

for the first time.

When spirits physically harm
the living.

I was very scared for my family.

This demonic spirit had taken
over our son.

Deliver us from evil...

I buried this for nearly
30 years.

Paranormal Survivor, Story 27:
Cheryl's Haunted Barn.

[Cheryl]
We started restoring
automobiles,

it was probably 2008.

We work on the cars in
my mother-in-law's barns.

It's nice open space,

plenty of room to be able
to pull the vehicles in

and work on 'em.

Careful. Watch your step.

Ah, okay.

Up, up, up.

Can't wait to see this.

Cheryl and her husband Keith had
just acquired a classic car,

one they were both itching
to rejuvenate.

Oh, my God!
It's amazing!

[Cheryl]
It's a great feeling.

I love working on vehicle,
get my hands dirty.

Now, we have more
to our collection.

They knew little about
the car's history

but rust and mechanical issues

would soon become
the least of their problems.

Probably after
a couple weeks after

the vehicle came into the barn

is when we started
experiencing the activity.

Things that would go missing
would be like tools,

things of that nature,
my husband would be using.

And next thing you know,
they were missing.

The wrench isn't here.

It is there.

Well, it's not here.

Keith was in the barn with me.

We were working on the car
together and we heard growls.

[Growling]

Quiet, quiet! Sh-h.

It was very noticeable,
almost like a dog growling.

[Growling]

I really didn't understand it
at first.

[Growling]

The growls kept getting
more intense.

It was a really, really heavy,
mean sounding growl.

[Growling]

It was something that--

It sounded like it was ready
to hurt us.

Whatever it was was gonna
come at us and hurt us.

At first we're like,
did we really hear this?

Up above the workbench
are shelves.

And at the very top were
saw blades.

They were in a secure area
that they couldn't fall.

They basically come
off the shelf

and drop straight down
to the ground.

[Gasping]

Those items had been sitting
there for probably 15 years

and never moved before.

Something had to have pushed
that off the shelf.

It would probably
have killed him

'cause even though
they're older blades,

they were still very sharp.

And it could've easily gone
right through his head.

Keith was extremely scared.

Something's going on that
we can't figure out.

Keith's narrow escape
didn't deter them

from working on the car.

The more and more
we're out in those barns,

the more experiences
we would have,

the more growls we would hear,

the more things fall off
the shelves.

But it seemed to escalate more
when I was out in the barns.

[man's voice] Hey.

I didn't like being in the barn
by myself.

It gave me the creeps.

I would always feel that
somebody was watching me.

I knew somebody was right
next to me, I could feel it.

It would start from my head
all the way down to my feet,

my entire body would go numb.

[Cheryl]
I would get the chills.

I would hear things like,
get out.

[deep voice] Get out!

[Cheryl]
Male, very deep, distinct voice.

The very first time it happened,
I was scared.

Something was drawn to me.

Something wanted my attention.

Something wanted to scare me.

[Gasping]

I told Keith, I said,
"There's something behind me".

Something's behind me.

'Cause that was
the first time something

has actually touched me.

Though shaken, Cheryl tried
to put the unnerving experience

behind her.

But things were about to go to
a new and violent level.

[Cheryl]
I had this really cold
wisp of wind

that came across my neck
and I said,

"There's something
behind me".

Something is behind me.

At first, it was fingertips
that I felt.

Just like this.

And it's pushing me forward.

I did stumble forward and
I went into the workbench.

It's almost like the spiritual
activity is attracted to her.

Spirits will often target
certain people in the home.

There are times when
one person is terrorised

to the point of complete
fear and insanity

when everybody in that house
is just looking at them

like they don't understand.

They never ever hear
or see anything.

This male spirit may have
disliked women.

She may have reminded him
of a spouse, of a mother,

of a girlfriend.

There's something about her
that struck a nerve with him.

That really scared me.

I said,
"I can't be out here anymore".

"It's not safe for me".

It's just not safe.

Afraid of what might happen
to her next,

Cheryl called in the Heartland
Hauntings Paranormal Team.

Cheryl reached out to us
regarding a haunted pole barn.

She had been attacked.

She wanted our help.

They were suspicious that
it may be centered around

a purchase of an old vehicle.

Apparently they had
got an older car,

and since they brought this car
into the pole barn

that's when everything
started up.

The atmosphere outside
of the barn was normal.

Nothing to alert you
to any problems.

[Len]
But when you walked in the barn,
there was a definite change.

The air felt heavy.

It felt like weight was actually
put upon you.

You felt dread.

The atmosphere got even worse

when someone else followed in
behind them.

You can tell walking
through the barn

that it felt like there
was a heavy presence.

There was something there.

[Len]
When Cheryl came into the pole
barns with us, it was worse.

I felt like I was in danger, or
my group was in danger.

Whatever it was that was there,

it was not really a fan
of Cheryl being there.

Spirits can attach themselves to
inanimate objects, like a car,

because they have
such an affinity

to those particular objects
in life.

They love them.

They're attached to them.

They become part of who they are
and how they're defined.

[J.C.]
We had heard the knocking and
the growling.

This sounded something that

I can't say I've ever
heard before.

[Growling]

It was something that
was definitely...

I wouldn't say human.

When we hear the growling
like that,

it is something that we get
a little more cautionary to.

But it's nothing that
we'd ever run away from.

The growling was soon followed
by something much more alarming.

The mist just started
in an instant.

It was like a fog coming in,
but it was very fast.

And then I saw this face.

There!

[Len]
It was neither human nor animal.

It was somewhere in between.

It looked like something that
you couldn't really describe.

Something that was
other worldly.

[Cheryl]
It was just hovering right
around the car.

You could just see this thing
just hovering.

[Growling]

It was a deep growl.

It just reverberated.

Once you hear it, you never
wanna hear it again.

The negative energy was
definitely centered in this car

that they had purchased.

[Growling]

And it was very angry.

The entity seemed to disappear
back into the vehicle

but that didn't
mean it was gone.

Frank started acting
very strangely.

He just looked different.

He became very angry.

Frank, he was getting very angry
with her.

He would just kind
of look at her

with the look like he just
wanted to do something to her.

Something sinister seemed
to be taking Frank over.

[Cheryl]
The closer I got to him,
the more tense he got.

Like something bad
was gonna happen.

Something, you know,
you can just get that feeling.

Frank had never
behaved like that before.

Something there was
definitely manipulating him,

making him feel that way.

[Cheryl]
Whatever was in the barn
was going through him.

And all the anger that
that entity had was in him

and he was wanting to kill me.

He wanted to hurt me.

I definitely knew that it was
gonna try anything that it could

to get at me.

[Cheryl screaming]

It shocked me.

I told you to leave this place!

Something was taking over
his system.

That he was going
to actually strike her

in some way or another.

When Cheryl and Keith Austin
bought an old car to fix up,

terrifying things started
to happen.

After bringing
in paranormal experts,

a terrifying entity appeared

and then took over
one of the investigators.

[Cheryl screaming]

I told you to leave this place!

It shocked me.

You stupid bitch!

Something was taking over
his system.

That he was actually
going to strike her

in some way or another.

Cheryl had escaped injury,

but the entity in the barn
wasn't done yet.

That's when I was coming
up the walkway,

and I could hear somebody
charging, somebody was running.

You could hear the footsteps
and it was like...

[Imitating footsteps]

...like that.

And I took off running,
and I don't run.

It was almost as if that spirit
was chasing her.

Between the pole barns,
I saw this black figure again,

this black entity.

And it wanted to hurt somebody.

I also knew it was gonna
hurt Cheryl.

I still remember the hit.

It was powerful.

I felt it all the way down
to the soles of my feet.

It felt just like a human body
hitting you at top speed.

This was anger.

This was hate.

Whatever was coming at him

was coming at him
with such force

that his shoulders were
pushing back this way.

And you could hear the hits
and you could hear the growls.

Both times, I saw the blackness
just leap at me.

I do remember like a rushing
roar of air when it hit me.

And it staggered me
'cause it hit me so hard.

He had marks on his chest from
whatever was coming at him.

Get off me!

[Len]
Just touching my chest would
feel pain.

You know, it was sore for
a couple days afterwards.

The attack was aimed at Cheryl.

This thing hated her
for some reason.

It wanted to hurt her.

And for her safety,

we thought it was best don't
go back in there

till you get rid of the car.

Get the door.

They pretty much pinpointed
that the vehicle

was where the spirits,
the main activity was.

If someone's having
a problem with something

that may be attached
to an object,

the best thing that
we would ask

is to just remove the object
from that location.

Come on, come on, come on.

To restore peace,
to get the negativity out,

to make it a safe place again

that was the best thing
to do.

By getting rid of the car,
you got rid of the problem.

[Cheryl]
I was very nervous, very scared
to enter those barns.

But once I stepped through
and I looked around,

I knew that it was gone.

There was nothing there.

In some extreme
cases of possession,

a spirit will take over
more than just one person.

And sometimes the identity of
that spirit is truly terrifying.

Paranormal Survivor: When
Spirits Speak Through You.

Interview with Mary
Leibensperger, take one.

Marking.

[Mary] The property
was built in the 1800s,

the early 1800s.

We had bought the house
July of 2011.

And what attracted us to it was
that it was a large home

and I thought that would be
a great place for us to live.

And it was in our home town.

I'm hungry.

Do you want some lunch?

No, I'm okay, honey.

All right.

Mary's excitement would prove
to be short-lived.

Probably the day I moved in,

I started feeling like
there were other people

that were inhabiting the house.

Everywhere I went, it felt
like somebody was behind me

walking very, very close
behind me,

checking out everything I did.

Then, Mary began seeing, as well
as feeling, strange things.

I looked down and there
was a light anomaly.

It looked like somebody
was holding a flashlight there.

It was a circle of light.

So, I was trying to find where
this light could be coming from.

And I couldn't really put
my finger on anywhere

it would be coming from.

Jamie, come look at this!

What is it?

There was a light on the floor.

And when he came in, the light
kind of shot off to the side.

Well, if it comes back,
call me again.

All right?

Yeah.

That wasn't the last of Mary's
unnerving experiences

in the house.

I was sitting on the couch
at night watching TV.

[Footsteps]

And I thought what
I heard was footsteps

above on the second floor.

[Footsteps]

So, I was calling out
my son's name, Jamie,

or my husband Glen.

And then I realised that
nobody was home.

[Footsteps]

In that moment, when
I heard to footsteps,

I could probably say
I was pretty terrified.

[Footsteps]

They sounded like they were
walking down the hall

and eventually down the stairs.

And then they just
kind of stopped.

Soon the activity wouldn't stop
at footsteps and voices.

One night, it was around
six o'clock

and I got this feeling
that something was watching me.

Every time I moved,

I felt like a person or thing
was moving with me.

And I finally got the nerve
to look in the doorway

and that's when
I saw a greyish mist.

Glen?

[Mary] Glen!

[Mary]
The mist became
more defined

and took on human features.

Mary Leibensperger moved
into a new home

only to discover that strange
things happen there.

Glen?

Then, one evening,
she saw something terrifying.

[Mary] Glen!

A cloudy mist,
when it starts to form,

can be the beginning of a spirit
trying to materialise.

This mist could be white,
it could be grey,

it could be black.

If it's a being of love and
light, it'll be a white mist.

If it's a darker entity
or a darker energy,

it will be a darker colour.

Look!

What?

I tried to explain to Jamie and
Glen the footsteps and the mist.

And they weren't quite believers
at that point in time.

My husband probably thought
I was crazy.

There's nothing here.

[Mary]
Knowing that Glen and Jamie
didn't believe me

made me feel uncomfortable
telling them.

Because I thought maybe
it was me.

Maybe I was making things up.

When I saw the mist,
I was a little scared.

But it eventually
solidified my feelings

that something else
was going on in the house.

Mary reached out to
a paranormal investigator

who agreed to come and
check out the house.

Hi. Mary?

Hi.

When the investigators
were there

they were walking through
my house

and they were talking to us

telling us that sometimes
spirits can speak through

other people.

My son, Jamie, said...

Could they speak through me?

And almost as soon as he said
that he started laughing.

And I'm like, well,
what's wrong, Jamie?

And he said,
"They're after you, Mom".

They're after you, Mom.

And I said, "No, they're not".

Yes, they are!

And he says,
"Yeah, they're after you".

Despite Jamie's
strange behaviour,

Mary tried to continue
with the investigation.

And after a few minutes,
I heard my son yelling,

mom, where's my mom?

[Mary]
So, he came and he was crying.

And he doesn't cry very often.

And I said,
"What's wrong, Jamie?
What's wrong?"

And he says,
"I need a hug, I need a hug".

So, I hugged him and he said,
"Where am I?"

"What happened?"

Jamie truly has no memory
of what happened.

I was very scared for my family

because I didn't know what
was going to happen next.

Whatever entity was targeting
Mary and Jamie

was now about to turn
his attention

to Mary's husband Glen.

One night, my husband
was sleeping

and I was sleeping aside of him.

And in the middle of the night
I hear him sit up.

And Glen is totally oblivious
to me.

And I hear him mumbling.

And I'm like, who are you
talking to?

What's going on?

And I hear him say...

"I know how it seems,

but we can both live
in this house in peace".

[Mary]
Glen had no idea
what was going on.

He didn't even know
I was in the room with him.

He was just focused on
having that conversation

with whoever was
on the other side.

Glen, wake up!

...we can both live in
this house--

Glen!

What are you doing?

[Mary]
And he had no recollection
of that at all.

At her breaking point,

Mary called in another
paranormal team

led by investigator
Mark Keyes.

We decided to take this
case on

basically because of
the severity of it.

The amount of physical activity
that they were reporting.

Mary was quite upset because it
was affecting her family.

On this investigation, I brought
in our psychic medium Virginia.

My job is to go in, identify
what is going on in a home,

and figure out how to help
that spirit crossover.

[Virginia]
I didn't feel one single thing.

It was very silent.

It was too silent.

The atmosphere
changed dramatically

when they headed
into the basement.

[Virginia]
I felt a very intense
presence there.

Like somebody was standing in
the corner just staring at us.

Didn't communicate.

When I started to realise

something was standing
in the corner,

I tried to focus as hard
as I could.

I just saw a very staticky
energy moving, moving,

strobing, strobing.

Something is troubling
and weighing very hard

on that person.

Virginia looked into the psychic
world for answers.

I realised this person
took their life.

And they were hiding
and upset and angry

that we might find out
what they did.

Virginia picked up on
something else,

a second spirit.

One spirit, that was behind the
one that was the strongest

that I noticed first,

came running in
front of this one.

I didn't realise there were two.

I thought there was just one.

And the one that didn't want me
to identify him

tried to grab this other spirit.

Get out of my house!

This is my house!

I'll kill you!

And he kept saying to
that other spirit,

"Don't open your mouth!
Don't open your mouth!"

"You're under my control!"

"You can't go anywhere!"

Spirits, on an average,

can be controlled by a more
malevolent spirit.

It's kind of
the schoolyard bully.

If an individual is
bullying someone in life,

they're definitely capable
of taking it

to the other side with them.

If you're a kinder,
gentler spirit,

you can definitely be bullied
by a more aggressive spirit.

Virginia was struck by
a shocking vision.

[Virginia]
These spirits were involved in a
criminal act, actually, murder.

[woman screaming]

[Virginia]
One of them was the mastermind
and committed a murder.

He was the one that was messing
around and playing games.

The other one was dormant 'cause
he was in a sorrowful space.

He decided he was going
to habitate this property

and stayed there.

He was a very negative person.

He had a lot of anger issues
while he was alive.

And in death, he still
maintained these emotions

and his same behavioural habits.

And he was taking out his
frustration on the family.

When I heard that there was
a murderer in my house,

that was a little scary.

[Virginia]
The spirit that spoke through
Jamie was dominant.

He was the one who committed
the crime.

He was very forceful and pushy.

I found him to be
very threatening to me

because he knew I could
see him and feel him.

I started to feel closed in.

I even had a problem breathing.

It was ridiculous.

The energy was
just overpowering.

Get out of my house!

Homeowner Mary Leibensperger
and her family

were being tormented
in their home

by murderous spirits.

Even psychic medium
Virginia Centrillo was shocked

at the spirit's power.

This is my house!

We knew we were gonna
have a bit of a battle

trying to release
these two spirits

that were causing issues
for the family.

[Mark]
So, we would sit down
and collectively get

as much positive energy
into the room as possible

through prayers and
visualisation work.

And Virginia will then try to
communicate with the spirits

that are there.

So, what we do is, as a team,

we convince the spirit
that is trapped there

that it is no longer their home.

We talk to them about
what happened to them,

why they're there.

And then it makes it easy to
begin to help them

get that heaviness off,
that Earth grievance,

and to move into the light
more gentle.

The man who had committed
several murders in the area

was a little bit more difficult
to cross.

[Mark]
He did not want to go.

He was definitely in fear of
being judged for what he did.

He ended up killing himself too.

So, his faith told him that
if you kill yourself,

you may go to hell rather
than heaven.

[Virginia]
The one that didn't
commit the crime,

the one that was more
of a passive energy,

he wanted to move
into the light.

The other one kept pulling him
back.

The more dominant spirit
kept pulling him back.

There was a tug of war
that went on.

It was like fishing for
a giant shark.

Like, I kept reeling them in and
they kept breaking the line.

It was very difficult
to separate them.

So, this took a considerable
amount of work

on Virginia's part.

She asked for a little
divine guidance,

called for her spirit guides
and angels to come in.

[Mark]
Virginia worked with him
at calming him down

and what would happen to him
if he should go into the light.

And she got him to walk
into the light.

And I took the passive one,
and he went into the light.

[Virginia]
I felt the house shift
and energy shift.

It became brighter.

It was a much lighter feeling
in there.

The air actually felt thinner
and a little more positive.

[Mary]
The level of activity
dropped off

when Virginia cleansed
the house.

When I was in my house
before the spirits crossed over,

I was always in that flight
or fight mode.

My senses were always
on guard.

After Virginia had the spirits
crossover, I could relax.

I didn't have to be on guard
all the time.

I didn't feel like somebody
was watching me.

It's not just spirits
of the dead

that can take over the living.

Sometimes the possessing entity

comes from a different
realm entirely.

Paranormal Survivor, interview
with Brenda Henry, take one.

Mark.

[Brenda]
The home was built in 1814.

It was a large old farm house
that sat back off the road.

I just fell in love with
the looks of the home.

I loved the home.

I thought it was beautiful,
loved the way it was laid out,

loved the location.

After buying the property,

Brenda and Tim learned the house

had another more unusual
feature.

The previous owner
was an elderly lady

that lived here with her mother.

And she told me that there was
a few things

that I needed to know,

and that the house had spirits.

Most of 'em were good spirits.

The previous owner told her that
there were spirits in the house.

And I didn't really believe
that there was.

I had heard stories about
this house was haunted.

The children in the
neighbourhood

that played with my children

had told them that
they'd seen images in the window

several times.

At first, the family
were untroubled

by the ghostly rumours

but that soon changed.

So, about a month after
we moved into the home...

[Door creaking]

...things started to happen.

[Footsteps]

What was that?

[Brenda]
All of us hear footsteps
in the house all the time.

If we're down
in the first level,

we can hear footsteps
on the second level.

[Footsteps]

I'm gonna go check it out.

I don't know what the heck
that was.

Every time we heard
the footsteps,

we would go upstairs to check
to see if anyone was up there

or what was going on.

A lamp would come on,
go off by itself.

At first, I thought maybe it was
electrical with the lights.

Until it wasn't just one light.

It was several lights
in the house.

Soon, other bizarre things
started to happen.

There would be times at the home

where the water would come on
all by itself at the sink.

[Brenda]
And one of us would get up
and shut the water off.

We'd go back and sit down,
it'd come back on.

I just usually would...

these things off as
a coincidence.

It had to be something else.

It couldn't be footsteps.

It couldn't be, you know,

somebody turning lights
on and off.

You know, it had to
be some explanation

of what was going on.

One of the things that I started
finding around the home

was the old-time handkerchiefs,
like grandmother would carry.

Started finding several of them
throughout the house.

And I thought that was odd

'cause we didn't have
any handkerchiefs.

[Brenda]
I picked it up,
put it in the garbage can.

The next day, another
handkerchief would appear

elsewhere in the house.

I had no explanation for it.

Couldn't figure out why
it was happening.

[Brenda]
So, this went on for
a couple weeks.

I'd find a handkerchief,
throw it away.

I'd find one on the server,
I'd throw it away.

I'd find one in the bathroom,
I'd throw it away.

And this went on and on.

Almost like a daily activity.

Event the skeptics in the family
had trouble explaining away

the next time a handkerchief
appeared.

We were all sitting around
the table having dinner,

and all of a sudden, one came
floating out of the air,

landed in the middle
of the table.

After Brenda Henry moved
into a new home,

they heard rumours
it was haunted.

At first, they were untroubled

but then bizarre things
started to happen.

I have no idea where it
came from.

It just seemed to appear
out of thin air.

Everybody was shocked
when the handkerchief fell.

There was a lot of big
eyes sitting around the table

wondering what exactly
is going on.

So, at that moment,

I think we all pretty much
accepted that

we're living with spirits
in the house.

I was starting to believe

that there was possibly
something going on.

Intent on making contact

with whatever was causing
the activity in the house,

Joey secretly began using
a spirit board.

A spirit board is a really bad
thing to mess around with,

if you're not properly
trained to do so.

Because it's
a divination device.

And it's a method through
which entities, spirits,

sometimes rogue spirits,
is what I like to call them,

can come in and
talk to you.

Rogue spirits are spirits
that kind of wander around

waiting for an in into
their environment.

Joey's attempt to contact
the spirits only succeeded

in bringing something
new into the home.

Something truly demonic.

And almost immediately,
the activity in the house

took a darker,
more aggressive turn.

No one will talk to us
at school!

We're the weird kids!

The children were talking about
how their friends

didn't wanna come over
to the house

because they heard that
the house was haunted.

The whole town's talking
about us.

See!

Our son, Joseph,
made the statement that,

ifI saw a ghost or a spirit,
I'd punch it right in the mouth.

They think we're crazy.

So, after he said that,

a large basket that I keep
on top of the refrigerator

came flying off the top of
the refrigerator.

The basket flew
about eight feet.

We were all in shock that
this had happened.

It was very frightful.

[Tim]
I think the spirits were
sending a message

that they weren't happy
about what he was saying.

Troubled by the violent
change in the activity,

Brenda reached out to

husband/wife paranormal
investigators

Rick and Nancy Cosner.

Any time a spirit manifests
energy enough to throw something

or to move something,

it can be very dangerous in
a home to anybody around.

And you need to have
that taken care of.

When Rick first came
he brought some equipment

to collect evidence.

It didn't take long for Rick
to pick up the activity

in the house.

And he said, I have this
recording I want you to hear.

So, he played it.

[child's voice]
Stop kicking me,
stop kicking me,

stop kicking me.

[child laughing]

And it was a little girl that
was saying,

stop kicking me, stop kicking me
over and over,

then she would laugh.

An EVP is an electronic
voice phenomenon.

This is where a spirit can be
heard on a recording device,

but it could not be heard in the
room by the physical ears.

[child's voice]
Stop kicking me,
stop kicking me,

stop kicking me,
stop kicking me.

[child laughing]

To hear that voice was eerie.

I've never heard anything like
that before.

Rick had even more
surprising news.

There was more than just
one spirit in the house.

There was a young female girl
that was in our closet

and her name is Annie.

And that's who we hear
walking around upstairs.

And that there were five spirits
here, five elderly ladies.

[Rick]
...hallowed by Thy name...

The demonic entity
Joey had summoned

did not reveal itself
to Rick and Nancy.

Nevertheless, they decided to
perform a cleanse.

We go from room to room, every
room has to be smoked.

We use frankincense and myrrh.

...forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

After the cleansing, we felt
everything would be calm

and everything would work out
for the best.

So, after Rick's visit,

the activity was pretty quiet
for a couple days, I think.

With Joey still secretly
using the spirit board,

the demon was able to escape
the cleanse

and escalated its attacks.

So, Joseph has always
been a good child.

Never had any behaviour problems
with him.

All of a sudden, it's just like

I'm dealing with somebody
different.

He started being
very disobedient,

very verbally abusive to myself

and his mom and his brother
and sister.

Go ---- yourself.

What'd you say?

At first, I thought
that, you know,

he's just going through
teenage years.

I said, go ---- yourself!

I ---- hate you!

I felt very hurt that
he was acting this way,

and I didn't understand why.

[Tim]
You look into Joey's eyes and it
was like he was a different kid.

It was like Joey
wasn't in there.

I contacted Rick
and his wife again

and told them what was going
on with Joseph.

They have to be invited.

They don't just show up
in your house.

Rick recommended that
we call a priest to come in

and have an exorcism to get
the demonic spirit out of him.

Hi, Joey.

An exorcism is a cleansing,
basically,

to drive out the spirit,

to make it leave
the person's body.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name...

It was important to get it
done soon

before he got into the really
bad stages of possession.

[Brenda]
So, the priest came in

and he said he could definitely
feel the demonic in Joseph.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven...

He just didn't wanna do it.

Joey was having difficulty
repeating phrases

that the priest was giving him,
the scripture.

Thy Kingdom come,
hallowed by Thy name--

----- you!

It was like he wasn't paying
attention.

He wasn't interested.

And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil--

---- you!

I think Joey was having trouble
doing these things

because of it was a demonic
spirit that was taken over.

It wasn't Joseph.

I mean, I could tell that
by looking into his eyes,

it wasn't him.

...hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come--

[Screaming]

Most likely the demon
was confusing him,

what he's hearing.

Telling him that these people
are lying to him,

things of that nature.

[Brenda]
Watching our son go through
this was just...

it was horrible.

It was horrible that, you know,

this demonic spirit
had taken over our son.

[Screaming]

Brenda Henry's son Joey had been
possessed by a demonic entity.

The only way to save him
was an exorcism.

...hallowed be Thy name...

It was hard to watch.

I felt that the demonic spirit
was fighting

and trying to stay with Joey.

And trying to keep Joey
from doing the things

that he needed to do
to get it out of him.

I just bowed by head
and I prayed,

and my husband prayed.

Deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,

and the power,
and the glory--

And I opened up my eyes
and looked at Joseph

and tears was coming
down his cheek,

I knew that something's
working.

[Tim]
You could see a change in him.

You could see a change
in his eyes

that the spirit was leaving.

[Brenda]
Joseph said that he knew
something wasn't right,

and he could hear voices
talking to him.

And he said,
I knew I was doing wrong,

but I couldn't stop myself.

[Tim]
It felt good to have Joey back.

It felt good to have that
happy-go-lucky boy back.

I thought for sure that negative
activity in the home would end

after the exorcism knowing
that the black spirits,

the bad spirits were gone

would help us all to live
peacefully together again.

The demon may have been
exorcised from Joey,

but he wasn't finished
terrorising the family yet.

[Screaming]

Brenda had called and told me

she had seen a dark shadowy
figure,

like, 6-7 feet tall.

And this set flags off
that let me know

that this demon was still there.

[Screaming]

Terrified, Brenda called Rick
and Nancy back to the home.

[Rick]
At that point, we needed to do
an exorcism of the house.

I think the demon probably just
backed off and hid for awhile,

while the priest was gone,
while we were gone,

and then decided to
continue his work.

Well, when I come into
a home to do an exorcism,

I usually come in
with Holy water.

And I will walk around and
spritz the water around

to see if I get
any kind of reaction

to find out if maybe
the demon is near.

[Screaming]

Lord have mercy.

Christ have mercy.

We read the rites of exorcism
and that's it.

We never talk to the demons.

Christ have mercy.

[Screaming]

You never wanna talk to a demon.

They spread lies, keep you off
balance all the time.

Lord have mercy.

Christ have mercy.

[Screaming]

Christ have mercy!

[Screaming]

Christ have mercy.

The cleansing was successful.

The demon vanquished.

[Rick]
I felt that it was...
the place felt a little lighter.

I felt very good after the last
time Rick had came back

and blessed the house.

[Tim]
This whole experience has
definitely changed my belief

in the paranormal.

Before, I wouldn't have believed
any of it.

But going through it
and living through it

and actually seeing it
for myself, I'm a believer.

I think the white spirits
are still there,

and the dark spirits,

I don't think there has been
any for quite a while.

And we wanna keep it that way.
