Original subtitles

- When I couldn't find Karla I

knew immediately that something bad happened to her.

And I'm scared.

As more scared as I've ever been in my life.

It reminded me of like when you're a kid

and you do something wrong,

that feeling that you get in the pit of your stomach.

'Cause you know it was just a matter of time

before someone found out what you did.

That's how I felt.

Because I knew right away.

No one's ever gonna believe me.

- It has been nearly three days

since 28 year old Karla Marks

was first reported missing by her husband.

And authorities are still searching for any clues

as to the woman's whereabouts.

Police are still questioning the husband,

but as of now there is no word

as to whether or not they believe foul play was a factor.

Police and search parties continue to comb

the nearby area, including the surrounding woods

for any sign of Marks but so far

little is known of her possible whereabouts.

- I arrived at the scene at approximately 6:20 a.m..

The first thing I noticed when I arrived

is that Mr. Marks did seem to be genuinely

concerned for the safety of his wife.

He was adamant that something had happened to her

though he never specified what he thought that was.

He just kept making statements such as,

"No one's gonna believe me

"and everyone's gonna think I'm making this up."

Things like that.

Which seemed a little odd at the time.

- I had no idea if the police were gonna believe me or not.

I mean hell, I didn't even know what I believed.

I just knew that Karla was gone

and I was positive that it had something

to do with that place.

- Mr. Marks claimed he left the building

to go out to the car

and when he returned she was gone.

He then spent the next few hours looking for her

before becoming concerned enough to contact the police.

I did the think the whole thing was a bit suspicious,

but there were several explanations

that had to be considered before

pointing any fingers at him.

- How do you convince someone, especially the police

that you think your wife is a victim of a paranormal event?

It almost sounds crazy coming out of my mouth right now.

- I did a search of the property,

there didn't seem to be any signs of a struggle

or anything indicating that a crime had taken place.

And at that point, the sun was just about up

and I was unsure of how to proceed

so I called for backup.

And I'll be honest, from everything I saw at the scene,

it did appear that Karla had just vanished.

- I remember lying in bed when the phone rang.

It was about 7 o'clock in the morning.

I remember thinking it was strange that

the phone was ringing so early in the morning.

I thought it must be some kind of mistake,

a wrong number perhaps.

Nancy offered to get it

and I was already pretty much up

so I answered it myself.

- I remembered John answering the phone

and I knew immediately before he even said a word

that something was wrong.

Some might call it a mother's intuition,

but I knew right away that something

had happened to Karla.

- I still thought it might be a wrong number

til the voice at the other end said my name

and I knew right away it was Bryan.

He then told me that Karla was missing.

- John got off the phone

and he told me that Karla was missing.

But there was a search party out looking for her.

So in that moment I was relieved.

I mean I didn't think they weren't going to find her.

- Once the police started the search

they kept me away from the area.

I wanted to help out but they wouldn't let me.

They just kept interviewing me

and asking me questions.

Same questions over and over again.

That's when I knew they didn't believe me.

- There's so much going on.

Nancy and I made phone calls.

We contacted the media.

We helped with the search party.

It was just a frenzy of emotions.

- You hear stories about people going missing

and never found but,

when it's someone you know,

you just automatically assume they're going to be found.

I had hope that everything

would still be alright, you know?

I...

I didn't realize,

I didn't realize how foolish that idea really was.

- It was after they called off the search,

that the reality of the situation just

came crashing down around us.

Just as quickly as it all started

it seemed like everyone just forgot about Karla.

Nancy and I were left to deal with this

all by ourselves and all we had were questions

and no answers.

- Karla and Bryan met in 2009 I think.

We were just about to graduate from college.

That's actually how her and Bryan met,

at a paranormal convention on campus.

He was there with a group of his friends.

They were all part of an amateur paranormal group.

They hit it off right away and started dating right away.

And it wasn't long before Bryan eventually proposed to her.

- The supernatural that always

interested both of us.

And I guess you could say

it's the one thing that brought us together.

- I knew Karla and Bryan mainly on a professional level.

My husband and I were on Horror New Network,

which is a horror website.

Very similar to what they do so we would

see them at conventions.

They were very much liked in the horror community

which why it was so shocking when she disappeared.

- Karla was in love with Bryan from the start.

You could just tell right away.

And everyone in the family really seemed to like him.

The only problem was Karla's father.

He didn't seem to approve of their lifestyle.

- I knew that her father didn't really approve of it.

But I never forced her into anything.

- While most girls were spending their money

on clothes and makeup, Karla was spending

her money on EMF detectors and

audio equipment.

- In fact it was actually Karla

who had the idea for the website.

It gave her a chance to immerse herself in

all of her passions.

Writing, photography, paranormal.

It was the perfect job for her.

- I didn't like all the supernatural

ghost crap they were into.

I especially didn't like them roaming around

all these strange and secluded places

all by themselves.

I was always afraid something like this

was gonna happen one day.

- He just doesn't believe in the paranormal

and it's something he definitely doesn't wanna talk about.

- No I don't believe in that nonsense.

I think it's a bunch of make believe.

Stories people like to tell each other

in order to scare each other.

And frankly, it's not Christian.

The Bible doesn't ever mention ghosts.

Of course.

I believe in the Holy Spirit.

And angels, well, they're not human.

They're God's messengers, his way of

connecting heaven and earth.

And when people die their soul ascends into heaven.

Which would mean there'd be

no such thing as ghosts would there?

- We were investigating a place

called the Devil's Well in Connecticut.

It's believed by some that

the well is actually a gateway or portal to hell.

- Now one of our more popular legends

is about the Devil's Well.

And it has sort of a dark past

which is why there've been a lot of

sort of colorful stories associated with it.

- I think New England in general,

due to it's location and the history of the area,

it has quite a bit of paranormal activity.

- We encourage our readers to write into us

and suggest places that they think

that we should investigate.

And one of our readers emailed us

about the Devil's Well and it sounded interesting.

So we thought we'd check it out.

- I have never been to the Devil's Well.

I think it's some place I'd like to check out.

I'm a little curious and intrigued by it.

- The well just seemed like a normal well I guess.

The weirdest thing about it was that

it was in the middle of this basement.

It just didn't seem like it belonged there you know.

- No one knows who actually built the well,

but the first recorded information

about who actually owned the property

relates to a family called Woods.

In the early 1700's they bought the place.

It was a mother, a father, and two daughters.

Mary and Margaret.

There was some kind of an accident.

Mary ended up dead at the bottom of the well.

Of course the family claimed that

she had just slipped and fallen in.

But what was strange is that her sister Margaret said,

no, she had not slipped,

that Mary had flung herself into the well

and committed suicide.

- I don't consider myself like a religious person

so I don't necessarily believe that it leads to hell.

But, one thing I can say

is there definitely is a strong

negative energy in that place.

- Now in 1915, a man named Henry Kidder bought the property.

And he bought it because he wanted

to put up a textile mill, which he did.

And it was very successful.

Lots of the local people were employed here.

But there were strange rumors about his personal life.

Especially his fascination with the

dark arts and the occult.

And it didn't help any that he built

the mill right on top of the well

and he built a room around the well.

Very specifically designed.

But no one knows why he did that.

Ever since then,

well the well was kind of associated with

dark doings shall we say.

- We got called to that area a lot.

Claims of satanists, and devil worshipers.

Of course it was the 80's,

the whole satanic panic was in full swing.

- Everything was quiet up there until the 80's

when there was some kind of an incident.

- I never liked getting called to that place.

And on this particular night,

it was definitely something off.

- The police were called,

there was an altercation,

and the police officer was stabbed

and another man was shot.

- I observed a bunch of people in hooded robes

and there's this naked girl

standing in front of them.

And I immediately noticed that she had blood

on her.

I drew my weapon, I ordered everybody to get down

and they turned around, they looked at me.

I couldn't see their faces.

Either they were wearing masks

or their faces were painted.

But I could tell from their demeanor

they weren't scared of me.

They were angry.

I was interrupting whatever they were up to.

I didn't see the suspect come up behind me,

but I felt a sharp pain in my back.

I turned, I realized I had been stabbed.

So I started firing my weapon several times.

I don't know how many people I hit

but one, only one guy, one suspect went down.

Everybody else fled and were never found.

As far as what they were doing down there,

I don't know.

But, it scared the hell out of me.

And not a day goes by that I don't think about it.

And I just always wonder

what happened to that

poor girl

that I had found down there.

- I've done a lot of investigations

and I've never felt that sort of

energy so strongly.

I hope that it's not the case,

but there is part of me that thinks

it absolutely had something to do with Karla disappearing.

- See anything?

- No, not yet.

- This place seems really fucking creepy.

- Yeah it is.

It feels like a heaviness near, you feel that?

- Yeah, probably because the place is so old.

- Or it's all the asbestos we're breathing in.

- Let's hope not.

- Why didn't we bring the masks?

Did we buy some?

- What the fuck was that?

Did you hear that?

- Yes I heard that.

- Hey, take a picture in there.

See if you see anything.

- Ugh.

- What?

- The camera died.

- Is it the battery?

- Yeah, but I mean something must've drained it

'cause I charged them.

- Well just use another one.

- I can't, I left the battery packs in the car.

- Oh god, damn it Karla.

Alright.

- Just use yours, we'll be fine.

- No, we should get backups.

Here, I'll go get it.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, as long as you're okay

with being down here by yourself.

- I'll be fine.

Just go, just be quick okay?

- Alright here, take the camera.

Keep filming.

I'll be right back okay?

- Okay, I'll be here.

Hello?

Is there anyone in there?

Can you hear me?

I know someone's here, I can feel you.

If you can, please give me a sign that you're here.

Hello?

Hello?

- It has been nearly two weeks now

since we first reported on the disappearance of Karla Marks.

Unfortunately, no sign of Marks has been discovered

and police have officially called off their search.

Resources tell us that the police

are now putting the focus on the husband, Bryan Marks.

It has been confirmed that Marks was officially arrested

earlier today in connection with his wife's disappearance.

It's unknown at the time what evidence

was discovered to warrant the arrest,

but if you'll notice behind me,

police tape has been put up around the building

and they are treating the area like a crime scene.

Forensics teams have been busy here all day.

- We did everything we could think of to find Karla.

We sent out search parties.

We had dogs search the building in the nearby woods.

We drained the well and had climbers

go down into it.

We even searched a nearby lake just in case,

but,

we found nothing.

No trace of Karla.

Nothing to support the theory that she might be lost.

That's when we turned our attention

to the theory of foul play.

- Once I was arrested, it was all over from there.

People just assumed that if I was arrested

that I must have had something to do

with Karla's disappearance.

- They had nothing and they knew it.

The town was fed up with the unwanted press

and the department was under scrutiny at the time.

Now I think the police were hoping if an arrest

was made then the media attention would go away.

And the whole town wanted to forget the whole thing.

They wanted everything to go back to normal.

So the police were under pressure to make that happen

and they arrested my client.

He was exhausted and stressed.

I mean he hadn't eaten or slept for days.

And he was scared.

You could see it in his eyes.

I think he was scared because

the realization that Karla was gone

had settled in.

And not only that she was gone

but that he was starting to get

the blame for his wife's disappearance.

- No one wanted to believe anymore

and everyone just kept looking at me

as if I was hiding something.

Of course they had to cut me loose eventually

because they had nothing on me.

But by then the damage was done.

- It's been a while since we've seen Bryan.

After he was released he tried to come and talk to us

but, John wouldn't have it.

In fact he went after Bryan physically.

We haven't seen or heard from him since.

- Do I think Bryan did something to Karla?

Honestly I have to believe that he did.

Otherwise what possible explanation is there?

People just don't disappear without

someone making them disappear right?

So if you ask me, yes.

I think Bryan did something to my daughter.

- John believes that Bryan did something the Karla.

And even if he doesn't really believe it,

he won't let himself think otherwise.

Because it's too painful any other way.

I still have hope that some day

my daughter will be found.

But, it's that hope that hurts the most.

Keeps the whole thing fresh in my mind every day.

I just don't think John can live like that.

I think he has to assume the worst.

So he can move on.

- I'd like to think that he didn't have

anything to do with her disappearance.

Of course, I mean I guess you never really know.

But I don't think that that's the case

in this situation.

At least I hope not.

- I mean they were planning on having kids together.

I don't think that that's something you do

when you're planning on murdering your wife.

No I just meant I don't think he killed her or anything.

But he brought her to that place

so indirectly he was responsible.

- I can't say what happened to Karla.

Any theories I may have would be mere speculation.

As an attorney, I don't think I should answer that question.

- No.

No, I don't believe in the paranormal.

I believe in facts and evidence.

In my line of work it's always

people harming other people.

Not to mention, I spent days at that location

along with several other detectives

and forensic professionals.

And none of them reported

anything unusual happening to them.

- I'm Lucas Baker, the lead investigator for S.I.G.N.S..

Bryan contacted me because back in our college days

we actually used to do some investigations together.

So we have a bit of a history.

- I contacted Lucas because of our past history together.

At this point in time I feel like

he's one of the few people that I can actually trust.

- News of his wife's disappearance

spread pretty quickly throughout the paranormal community.

So when he called I pretty much knew

exactly what he wanted.

- I'm confident that he'll put together

the right team to do this investigation.

- When she disappeared, it was fascinating to me.

I mean there have been numerous cases of people

disappearing throughout history.

I mean they tend to just chalk this up

to bad technology or poor resources at the time.

But today we have resources that far

surpass what we used to.

So I'm actually pretty excited to get down there

and see if we can find some answers.

And possibly some really strong evidence

that we've never seen before.

- I'm Kris Manners, I'm one of the investigators for SIGNS.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited to know we're

gonna be checking out the place around the Devil's Well.

There's a lot of crazy stories about that place.

Who knows what we might find down there.

- Hi, my name is Riley Harper

and I've been involved with SIGNS for about three years now.

Well let me put it this way,

either something supernatural happened to that girl

and the same thing could happen to all of us

or her husband did it.

And now we are voluntarily putting

ourselves in an abandoned building with him.

How would that make you feel?

- I'm Dennis Howard.

I'm the tech guy for S.I.G.N.S..

I'm in charge of the equipment

and examining any evidence that we might collect.

You know, if you ask me, this whole thing is a hoax.

Think about it.

This husband and wife own

a paranormal website.

What better way to drum up a little publicity

than have one of you go missing.

She's probably sitting on a beach somewhere

drinking a fucking margarita right now.

- Hi, I'm Lynn Baker.

I am Lucas's younger sister

and I guess you could say

I am the groups resident psychic medium.

Yeah I don't have a lot to say about

this other than the fact that I have

a really bad feeling about it.

- My name if Kurt Schafer.

And I guess you could say that I'm a filmmaker.

I've done some short films and

a couple of music videos for my brother's band.

Actually that's how Lucas contacted me.

He's friends with my brother Nathan.

So he called me and it was his idea

to try to turn this whole thing into a documentary.

- I agreed to be a part of the documentary

in hopes of clearing my name.

- I mean I've heard of the Devil's Well,

a lot of people have.

I've just never been there myself

and I don't even know if I believe any of the stories.

If I'm being honest, I'm really not

that excited to be going there.

- That's why I wanna go back to that place.

I don't necessarily think that

we're gonna find Karla but,

if we can prove that there's something

paranormal going on in that place,

maybe someone will finally believe me.

- Most of my life I guess.

- Most of all my life.

It's a good town with good people.

- Yeah I've heard of it.

- Yeah of course, of course, we all have.

- No, I'm too scared to go there.

- Yeah I've been up there.

- Yeah, me too.

- Naw, definitely not.

I've never been there and I don't plan on it either.

Just an unholy place to go to.

- Oh, are you guys here about that crap?

Just go away and leave this town alone

and stop exploiting us please.

- You know, after that girl disappeared

we had all sorts of people like you up here

taking photo's, asking questions.

- Kids in high school used to go up

and they used to have these stories.

The stories kind of scared me.

- You know, it's just a bunch of high school kids,

wanna be satanists hanging out up there.

They say they hear crazy sounds, stuff like that.

But they go up there expecting to get scared

and so they do.

But I don't think the place is actually haunted.

- Yeah my sister went up there in high school

with some of her friends and she said

one of the girls that she was with

supposedly got like, scratched by a ghost or something.

- I mean I don't know if it has anything

to do with ghosts or anything like that,

but when I was in the basement I got really dizzy

and I felt sick.

But as soon as I went outside

I immediately felt better.

- Look, what we have are a bunch of young kids

up there drinking, taking drugs,

carousing, they're in an abandoned building

above an old well, that's all it is.

- It's just not a good place to go.

And if you plan on going down there, just don't.

You start messing around with the devil

and that devil start messing around with you,

understand?

- Are we rolling?

- Yeah we're rolling.

- Bryan, you wanna lead the way?

- Yeah, sure.

It's down this way.

- Let's keep going.

- We're almost there.

It should be right up here.

It's in there.

- Okay.

Guys hang back for a second.

Bryan.

Go in first and I'll follow.

What are you feeling?

- This is the last place Karla stood before I lost her.

We still have no idea where she is,

what happened to her.

I'm sorry, it's just a little overwhelming.

- It's okay.

It's okay, take your time.

- I just left her down there.

- Hey, it's not your fault.

We're here now to get answers.

Okay?

- Look, I think maybe this was a bad idea okay?

Whatever happened here could happen any one of you.

I can't be held responsible for that.

- We're all here by choice.

We all knew the risk of coming to a place like this.

Focus on what we're here for.

Bryan.

Bryan!

Bryan.

Hey talk to me.

- Sorry.

I couldn't be in there.

I just...

Feeling of dread.

- Okay, okay.

Take a couple minutes alright?

Alright guys, let's set up the generator.

Let's get some lights hanging.

We got some work to do.

Let's go guys.

Alright.

We're here, it's gonna be alright.

- Hey Lucas.

- Yeah.

- Where do you want me to get?

- Just get shots of everybody setting up.

Yup.

- Okay cool.

Hey, you busy?

- No.

- Can I grab you

for a quick interview or something?

- Yeah I guess.

- I asked everybody else why they ghost hunt

and I've never asked you.

So I guess I'm just curious.

Why do you do this?

- It's a good question.

- Hey Kurt, mind if I grab you for a second?

I need you for a few shots.

- Oh yeah yeah.

Alright, we'll finish this later alright?

- Yeah.

- Kris to Dennis.

- Go for Dennis.

- How's camera one looking, over.

- Naw, it's looking good, picture's clear.

But adjust the camera to the left a little bit.

- Copy that.

Wait, my left or yours, over.

- Camera left, your right, over.

- Copy that, stand by.

How 'bout now, over.

- That looks good, move on to the next one over.

- Copy that.

- Dennis to Riley.

- Go for Riley.

- How is everything going down there?

- Are you seriously checking up on me?

- Hey, I just want you to know that

I got my eye on you in case anything happens down there.

- Dennis don't be a creeper.

- Hey, I'm just trying to help out.

- Alright, well I'm heading back now.

- Copy that, sounds good.

- Hey Lucas.

- Yeah.

- What's your sister doing over there?

- Let's go find out.

So what are you feeling?

- Nothing good.

- That's to be expected though right?

I mean there's supposed to be a gateway to hell down here.

- Let's hope that's not true.

- If it isn't then why did we come here?

Alright team, let's get started.

Riley I want you and Kris to go explore the hallways.

Kurt, stay with them.

- Okay.

- Lynn and I will investigate the well.

Dennis, you know your job.

- What about me?

- I'm gonna have you stay behind,

help Dennis keep an eye on the monitors now.

I'll come get you in a bit

and we'll investigate together.

Give us about an hour and then come meet us back here.

- Sounds good dude.

- Cool.

- Let's roll.

- Let's go.

- Let's do it!

- I mean I'm not hearing anything yet anyway.

- I don't hear much.

Yeah.

What's this doing here?

- It's a pair of gloves.

- They've been here a while.

Apparently Big Daddy was here.

Whoever that is.

- It was here back when

they were still doing graffiti with a paintbrush.

It says pussy cafe huh?

- It says pussy cafe. - They're fresh out

- of everything.

I don't think the pussy cafe is open.

- No I definitely don't.

- I don't think so either.

Come on, that's the best you got?

- No ghosts in there either.

- Alright then.

We'll have to look through these

later to see if anything pops up.

- Yeah yeah, definitely.

Also the silhouette of a naked woman.

135 pounds.

- Well.

- She's got that nice hourglass.

- Alright guys.

- Part of the Pussy Cafe.

- Well no, there are actual dates on the other side

passed the naked woman.

But clearly you didn't see that.

- Wait hold on.

I actually just heard something.

Like seriously I just heard something.

- Meter's still low.

Not zero but low.

- Let's keep going.

- Riley.

- Huh?

- What camera did you put down here?

- Four.

- Why don't you radio Dennis

and let him know we're approaching.

He likes to keep tabs on us you know.

- Yes he does.

Riley Dennis.

- Go for Dennis.

- Kris and I are approaching camera four.

- Yeah roger that.

Riley and Kris are approaching camera four,

make a note of that.

- Yeah.

Okay.

Got it.

So how long have you been doing all this?

- I've been doing this for about 12 years now.

You know, this stuff has always kind of fascinated me.

But I guess you could say that I'm

the skeptic of the team.

You know, I like to think that I bring in

necessary cynicism to the group.

- Do you deal with S.I.G.N.S. the whole time?

- No, I've only been with S.I.G.N.S.

for about five years now.

Kris and Lucas, they were together before that

and they asked me to join up.

- I've been meaning to ask,

what's the deal with Kris?

- What with the gun?

- Yeah, I mean who brings

a gun on a ghost hunt?

- I don't know.

That's always been his thing.

Don't worry, he's got a permit.

- Okay but, you can't exactly shoot a ghost so...

- Who said anything about shooting a ghost?

You know, these places, they tend to attract

some weird types.

You never know who or what you'll

run into around here.

There was this one time we were in upstate New York.

We were at an abandoned hospital.

And we come upon a pack of wolves.

Kris fires his gun in the air a couple times,

scares them off.

It was actually pretty bad ass.

- Yeah, I guess it makes sense when you put it like that.

- You know, to be honest,

I'm happy he has it with him tonight.

- Why's that?

- I'm not sure that any of us trust you.

- Check it out.

- Huh?

- See.

A door.

- It's a very industrial door.

Whoa!

- Holy shit.

- What, what's in there?

- Look at this.

- A big piece of machinery.

- This thing's huge.

- There's two more of 'em.

Holy shit!

What the fuck?!

What do you think about this place?

I mean like in general.

- It definitely has a weird vibe, I'll give it that.

- A weird vibe?

It's no weirder than any of

the other places we've been in.

- I'm pretty sure this is worse.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Why?

- I don't know,

there's just something in the air

it's like really unsettling.

- You don't really think that well in there

is a portal to hell do you?

- I can see why people would think that.

- Why, 'cause it's in a dark and creepy basement?

- Exactly.

- Come on.

I mean if you think about it,

like really think about it,

heaven is always in the sky right?

And hell's always in the ground.

But we know that if I start drilling a hole right now

I'm not gonna get to hell.

It's not really true.

So like, why does a portal to hell

have to be in the dark in a creepy basement?

Couldn't it be anywhere?

- I mean maybe that's your answer.

People associate the sky with heaven

and hell with being underground.

So if there is a portal to hell

it's gonna be in a place like this

because it's exactly where people expect it to be.

- So, you're saying

that if that well was a portal to hell,

it would appear in a place like this

precisely because that's where we

would expect it to be?

- Kris that's exactly what I just said.

- That's interesting.

Very interesting.

I still don't think it's a portal to hell.

- Think what you will.

Look, is that not hair or is that

just really dusty spiderwebs?

I can't tell.

- It might be a hair.

Why would there be hair on that?

- I don't know.

I can't tell.

- Is that you?

- Did you hear that?

Is that you?

Is it going off?

What's in there?

- Can you see in there?

- No it's just dark.

- Is your meter still going off?

- No, it stopped as soon as I...

- This is--

- It's going crazy.

- Is there anything in your photos or anything?

- Check it.

- Let's see.

- Oh shit, it stopped.

- Hold on.

- No.

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

- Got something to report.

Radio Dennis and let him know.

- Alright.

- What is it?

- There's definitely a strong concentration

of energy right here.

Dark energy.

- EMF is normal.

- Feel over this, it's colder over this well

than it is in the rest of the room.

You feel that?

- Yeah, I do.

I'm gonna take the temperature of the well.

Lucas to Dennis.

- Go for Dennis.

- Can you give me a temperature readout of the room?

- Standby.

Yeah, your room is reading at a steady 61 degrees.

- Copy that, I'm gonna take a thermal reading of the well.

Standby.

The well is reading at 43 degrees.

Once again that's four three degrees.

Over.

- Copy that, 43 degrees.

- It's kind of strange right?

- Well, the water's cold

so the well is probably reading colder.

- Yeah but, that's almost a 20 degree difference.

- Yeah but the water's probably

coming up from pretty deep.

So I don't think it's anything to

really get worked up over.

- I feel like there's someone here with us.

A woman.

Or a girl maybe.

Ugh, I hear a woman screaming.

Several women.

There's something else.

I feel

a male presence too

but his energy is...

It feels like they're being controlled by him

in some way.

He does not feel human, he feels...

The girl, the first girl who jumped in the well,

I feel her.

- Well what about that recording

that the crime scene woman took?

- What about it?

- What are your thoughts on it?

I mean she's a third party,

she has nothing to gain from any of this so what?

- Well she made that recording after they

drained the well right?

- Yeah.

- Alright, then it's probably just air

rushing out of the hole and distorting the mikes.

- Yeah, I guess that's a possibility.

- Is there someone here with us?

I can feel you.

- Call their name.

Mary, Mary Woods.

- Mary.

Is that you honey?

It's okay if you want to talk to me,

I'm here to help you.

- What is it?

Lynn.

Lynn what's wrong?

- Get out get out!

- Lynn, Lynn Jesus.

Lynn come back to me!

Lynn are you okay?

What the fuck happened?

- Oh god.

Something,

something got inside me.

Where are you?

Something got inside me.

- Okay.

Okay alright, let's get you in the other room.

- What the hell was all that screaming about?

- I don't know.

Something happened to Lynn in there.

- Here, sit her down.

- Here, keep recording.

How are you feeling?

- Sorry, I had to get out of there.

Whatever is in there overpowered me.

- Okay look, what exactly happened in there?

- I'll play back the recorder.

- Mary.

Is that you honey?

- Stop, right there.

Did you hear that?

It sounded like growling.

Play it back.

- Mary.

Is that you honey?

- Right there.

- Yeah, yeah I heard it that time.

- There is definitely something else

in there with us.

- Look, let me put it through a few filters,

clean it up, see exactly what we're dealing with.

- Alright, work on it.

I'm going back in there.

Bryan, you're coming with me.

- Okay.

- Lynn you stay here with Dennis until you feel better.

- Okay.

- Let's go.

- No sign of anybody down here huh?

- No it's pretty quiet.

- Yeah pretty quiet.

- Watch your head guys.

- Thanks.

Doing alright Kurt?

- Yeah, I'm doing alright I guess.

- What do you think about all this?

- Honestly I don't know.

It's not really my thing.

- It's not your thing?

- Yeah.

- Then why did you agree to come along?

- I don't know.

I don't know, Lucas just called me

and asked me to do this documentary.

I really didn't know I was gonna

be coming here with you guys.

- Are you serious dude?

- Yeah I'm serious.

- Holy shit.

So you don't believe in ghosts or are you scared of 'em?

- Maybe a little bit of both I guess.

I don't really know.

- Oh come on, go outside...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is it?

What is it?

- Shit!

- Fuck!

I swear I saw somebody.

They looked like they walked across the hallway

and came into this room.

Hello!

Hello!

- Riley to Dennis.

- Go for Dennis.

- Yeah, is there anyone else in the hallway

or the rooms with us?

- Nothing.

- No, everyone's down here, why?

- Kris thought he saw movement in one of the rooms.

So just keep an eye out.

- Copy that, I'll keep my eyes open.

- I swear I saw something, it looked like a person.

- I know, I believe you.

- What do you wanna do?

You wanna stay down here and look around some more

or do you wanna go back?

- No, let's stay here.

We might be on to something.

Why don't you double check in here,

look around, and I'm gonna go this way with Kurt.

- Alright I'll cut across here,

you go around, I'll meet you guys on the other side.

Be careful.

- Do you actually think he saw something?

- I mean, Kris fucks around a lot

but he takes his work seriously.

- Oh shit! - Oh my god!

- Kris!

Kurt what happened?!

- What happened, what happened?!

- I don't know.

- You alright, you alright?!

- No, something pushed me man!

- Hey, you sure you didn't trip?

- No I didn't trip.

- Are you sure you didn't trip?

- I didn't fucking trip alright.

Something like pulled me to the ground.

I wanna head back with the others.

- Dude, you can't go anywhere.

You've got a job to do.

Just wait a second!

- No no you wait a second!

Fuck it, fuck it, I'm out.

- Hey!

- Kris just let him go.

- Kurt!

Kurt! - Let him go.

- Fuck this shit man, fuck.

This is fucking bullshit.

Where the fuck am I going?

I don't know where the fuck I'm going.

Oh god, where the fuck is this huh?

Okay okay okay okay.

Fuck!

What the fuck was that?

Okay, oh fuck.

Kris!

Riley!

Oh shit!

I thought they were in here.

This room?

Fuck.

Hey where are you guys!

- Hey.

- Oh shit.

- Where the fuck are you going man?

What the fuck are you doing?

- What's wrong?

- I fucking saw somebody,

- Calm down, calm down.

- At the end of one of the hallways.

- Okay.

- No you guys were right,

there's like somebody down here or something.

I got it on the camera, I got it in the camera.

I'll show you guys.

- Alright, we're gonna go check in

with Dennis and the crew and then see the footage.

Let's go.

- Take a breath, let's go.

- Alright, alright, alright.

Dude, you guys are right dude.

There's somebody here.

Something down here, I don't know.

Shit.

- But you got it, you got it on camera?

- Yeah, it's on the camera.

I'll show you the footage when we get there.

- God damn it.

You feel anything?

- Yeah.

It's almost like there's

some kind of heavy weight bearing down on me.

You don't feel that?

- No.

- I mean, Lynn seems to be convinced

there's something in here.

Is she usually right about this kind of stuff?

- I've never seen her be wrong before.

- I don't know if that's a relief or not.

- Hey guys, we got something to look at.

- What's going on?

- Kurt got pushed in the hallway

and he also caught someone on camera.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you mean?

- He said he got pushed, I think he tripped.

- Are you sure you didn't trip?

- No, he got pushed.

- She saw it, she was there. - I was there, I saw it.

- Did you see it?

- My back was turned.

- I'm telling you, something like pushed me to the ground.

It doesn't matter.

I got footage of like,

I don't know, I think it's somebody in the hallway.

You guys should see it alright.

Just hold on.

- Look, do I believe something is happening here?

Yeah I believe you, it's just,

the whole point was to come down here and get proof.

Static on a digital recorder is not enough.

I need more.

- Do you think it's possible

this well is a gateway to hell?

- Look, I don't believe in heaven or hell.

Not in the traditional sense anyway.

I believe in energy.

Energy is something that you can measure

and that you can feel.

And there's a clear distinction between

positive and negative energy.

And certain places tend to act as magnets,

like this well.

But for whatever reason,

maybe because of all the dark things

that have happened here, you guys

are feeling a lot of negative energy.

I need more.

I need evidence, I need to be able to prove it or...

- Fuck!

Right there!

- What the fuck was that?

- See that!

That was somebody in the hallway with me alright.

- That's not one of us.

- It's a person.

- I swear to god.

- Wait, radio Lucas.

Tell him to get there.

- Dennis to Lucas.

- Go for Lucas.

- Lucas I think you need to come down here,

Kurt has something you need to look at.

- I'm on my way.

Stay here okay.

Don't stop filming.

- This is not good.

- Okay what do you have?

- Hey, you gotta see this.

- Come here.

Okay, I have to show you, hold on.

- Okay.

- Okay alright.

Alright I'm going down the hallways.

- What?

Hello?

Oh my god.

Karla.

Karla.

- Oh fuck!

Right there, you see that?

You see that?

There was somebody in the hallway with me.

- Play it again.

- Okay hold on.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

something, something is going on with camera one.

- Kris with me, Kurt let's go.

Kurt let's go!

- Karla.

- Oh shit.

Is that her?

Shit, is that her?!

- Hey. - What the fuck?

- What's she doing?

- Karla, my name is Lucas, Lucas Baker,

I'm here to help you.

Do you understand?

- Karla hey, hey it's me.

- Go easy.

- It's Bryan.

Are you okay?

Can you talk to me?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Are you okay?

- Go get a blanket, or a coat, something!

- It's okay.

- Where the hell did she come from?

- I don't know, I went out

for two seconds, I come back and she's standing there.

Hey!

- What the fuck is going on?!

- It's Karla!

- What?!

- Karla's in the well room.

- Are you serious?

- What the fuck!

- Okay Kris come here.

Alright, come upstairs, pull the van around, call the cops.

And take a camera with you.

- Camera?

- Take the god damn camera!

- Okay!

- And that goes for everybody else!

I don't know what the fuck is going on here--

- I need to talk to you.

- Not now.

- Yes now.

- Fuck.

- I'm gonna stay with them.

- What is it?

- Hey look, could you just get that

out of my face for a second?

- No, no, document everything.

Look, make it quick because I wanna

get back in there and talk to her.

- That's what I wanna talk to you about.

Don't you think this whole thing

is a little too convenient?

You leave him alone in that room

and she just magically appears?

- What are you saying?

- I'm saying that this is some sort of a hoax

or a set up, I don't trust it.

Lucas just think about it.

Everything that has happened down here

has a rational explanation.

We are being fucked with.

- All the more reason to record everything.

Okay, either we are witnessing some amazing

paranormal event or we the victims

of some elaborate hoax.

Either way, I need evidence.

- Fuck.

What the fuck?

Who the fuck locked this?

Fuck!

- You know what,

set up some cameras in here

because I wanna talk to her before the cops arrive.

- We need to wait on the police

and let them sort this out.

- No, no.

Because if this is actually paranormal

the police aren't gonna know what to do with it

and they'll sweep it under the rug.

This is our chance to actually

find out what happened to that girl.

This could be big.

- Lucas!

Lucas!

We got a problem man.

We're locked in here.

- What do you mean locked?

- The door we came in, it's locked.

- You sure?

- Yeah, it's locked man!

- This is what I am talking about.

There is something going on down here

and I don't think it's paranormal.

- What do you mean?

You think Bryan did this?

Why would he do that?

- Because this whole fucking thing was planned.

- When would he have done this?

You were with him most of the time.

- And where the hell did she come from?

And don't tell me that fucking hole

because I'm not buying it.

- Okay, okay Kris, find us another

way out of here, that couldn't be the only door.

- Yeah.

Alright, alright man, come on.

- Dennis, Dennis, you may be right

but the only way I'm gonna find out

is if I talk to that girl.

Agreed?

- Fine.

I mean we're stuck down here

we might as well do something.

- Good.

Okay I'm gonna talk to Bryan.

You set up the cameras.

Has she said anything yet?

- No, nothing.

- Alright, let's get her up in the other room.

I need to talk to her.

- What?

No.

She's not acting like herself.

- Well that's the whole point.

I need to know if she's acting at all.

- What are you talking about?

- Don't you think it's a little convenient

that you're down here by yourself

and then she just suddenly appears?

- I get it.

So what, you two think this is just

some big fucking hoax or something?

Let me tell you something.

Last year my life's been a god damn nightmare.

Okay I had no idea where my wife was

and everyone's looking at me like I had

something to do with it.

Do you have any idea what that is like?

Now she's back proving that I didn't do anything to her

and what?

You guys wanna stand here and accuse me of

staging this whole thing?!

- Listen, it is a possibility that we have to consider.

- Oh fuck you man, I trusted you!

- Hey!

Listen okay, I believe you.

But there are a whole lot of other people

out there that won't and this may be

your only chance to stop the accusations

before they even start.

And you know that they're coming.

Without any proof of what happened down here,

nobody's gonna believe anything.

Let me talk to her.

- Fine.

But I wanna be in there when you do it.

- Absolutely.

Set up the cameras.

- Hey, I'll take you to the other room now okay.

- Are we rolling?

- Yeah we're rolling.

- Dennis do you have a visual?

- Affirmative.

- Good.

Keep an eye on us

and radio if anything unusual happens.

- Copy that.

This is bullshit.

- You really think this is all fake?

- Yeah I do.

- Well then why the hell would they bring us down here?

- We come in here, they start screwing around with us,

we claim that this place is haunted,

there, we just validated their story.

- But there really is something going on.

- You don't know that for sure Riley.

- Kurt got pushed, Kris and I saw movement in the hallway,

we got something on camera.

- And all of that can be rationally explained.

This place has been hyped up.

We can't let it get into our heads.

Look, there may be very well

something paranormal going on here.

All I'm saying is I don't think

anything happened to Karla.

Think about it.

Just take a step back and think about it.

Did she just go to hell and now she's back.

- Well where the hell did she come from then?

- Can you tell me your name?

Do you remember your name?

It matters to me.

I need you to tell me your name.

Bryan, if you say one more thing,

we're through here and you're on your own.

Understand?

I need you to tell me your name.

- We should radio Kris.

He's been gone for a while.

- There's someone here.

- What?

Where are you going?

I should follow her.

She shouldn't be alone.

- Take a camera.

- Lynn!

- Why doesn't it matter?

What do you mean this world?

Do you know where you are?

- Lynn wait.

Where are you going?

- They're coming.

- What?

Who?

What are you talking about?

- They're coming.

- Lynn you're scaring me.

Where are you going?

- Do you know how long you've been gone for?

You don't know you've been missing?

In this building?

What have you been doing?

Waiting for what?

Who?

- Dennis to Riley.

- Shit!

Lynn wait!

What is it?

- I just saw movement by camera five.

I need you to go check it out right now.

- No, Lynn is acting weird.

Lynn wait!

She's acting weird, I should stay with her.

- Lynn will be fine.

If there is somebody else down there

we need to know.

- Look, call Kris.

Lynn, where are you going?!

Come back.

- Kris is nowhere near there,

just go check it out.

- Lynn wait, stop!

Damn it!

- What the hell is that?

Kurt.

- Yeah.

- Check it out.

- Okay.

- Dennis I don't see anybody here.

- Dennis, Dennis, shit!

Oh fuck.

- Dennis do you copy?

- Oh fuck.

- Hello.

Hello Dennis.

Riley to Dennis.

- How long were you in that room for?

Why not?

Was anyone else in the room with you?

Who?

Who is him?

The one who is coming for?

Does he have a name?

- Kris to Dennis.

Kris to Dennis.

Kris to Riley.

Kris to Riley.

Can anybody hear me?

Fuck.

- Who has come for you?

Who has come for you, tell me?!

- Fuck.

Fuck fuck.

- What the fuck is going on out there!

- Fuck fuck!

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, please please.

Wait, wait, wait.

- Tell me what the fuck is going on.

I know you know.

I am fucking done playing games here!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no no!

- God damn it Karla I know you know what's going on,

tell me right now!

- Some people, when they hear

a noise in the middle of the night,

are quick to assume that it's a ghost.

When in reality they should be more concerned

about somebody being in the house

who wants to cause them harm.

That's what we have here.

People murdering people just like every

other case I've ever worked on.

Now, I'll be the first to admit

that those tapes raise a lot of questions.

And until we find Karla or the

other people on those tapes,

those questions will not have answers.

But I'm more than certain that when

we do find those answers,

they will not be paranormal.

- Lynn and I grew up in a haunted house

and with a single mother

who had two jobs, that was not easy

for her dealing with kids who were

scared of ghosts all the time.

So we had to find some other way to deal with it.

Lynn could always see and feel things that I couldn't so

I did what I could.

I researched, I delved into any book about the paranormal

trying to find some sort of scientific explanation

for what was happening.

I became obsessed.

Trying to prove that it

wasn't just my imagination

and I wasn't just scared of nothing.

I went to college, I started S.I.G.N.S.

and we've been working on it ever since.

- After high school I went and joined the corp.

I did two tours in Afghanistan.

I didn't see any really crazy combat

but you know, it makes you think about these things.

You know, life after death, ghosts, whatever.

I came back and after a little while

I reconnected with Lucas and I think he

could tell that I was kind of floundering.

And needed something to do.

So he offered me to tag along.

And I fucking loved it.

It turned into a permanent position.

That's a great way for me to get my kicks,

get the bills paid, maybe answer some questions.

- I used to have an imaginary friend

when I was a kid.

Or at least that's what my parents called him.

He was this little boy who would

come visit me in my room.

And then my parents, as I grew up,

convinced me that he wasn't real.

And I eventually stopped seeing him.

So I guess I got involved with paranormal

investigations as a way to reconnect with my childhood

and to prove to myself that he was real

and not a result of an overactive imagination.

And it also reminds me of a better time in my life.

- I'm not like the others.

I didn't grow up in a haunted house.

I didn't see ghosts when I was a kid.

In fact, I've seen very little

in my life that I would actually

call paranormal.

My brother William

claimed that he was possessed by a demon

that was trying to control his mind.

And he was also a diagnosed

severe schizophrenic.

Then he killed himself when he was 23.

So I began

investigating the paranormal.

Because if there was even a 1% chance

that my brother was telling the truth,

then I owed it to him to find that truth.

But until I am presented with absolute proof,

I remain skeptic.

- As a kid I didn't really understand

what was happening to me.

And it didn't help that

my mom didn't believe me.

And then Lucas had the idea to start this group and

that was the first time really that I felt

valued for what I had always thought of

as something that made me different.

For the first time I wasn't really alienated

from a group, I was a part of a group.

And that was nice.
