Underneath here
is a skull in a box.

[ Record scratch ]
Whoa!
Wait a minute.

There is a human skull

inside of a little
children's thing.

Have you seen
this entity?

I've seen
a black shadow.

Took me months
to get over this.

I am holding

an over-2,000-year-old
Egyptian mummy foot.

I'll never forget it.
Believe it or not.

[ Laughing ] Believe it or not!
[ Mimics rim shot ]

ZAK: We have seen things
that defy explanation,

experiencing the best...

God, that was awesome, dude.
That was so awesome.
Absolutely, man.

...and worst...

these dolls are gonna [bleep]
take our souls.

...of the places
between worlds.

I want the portals
of this forest wide open.

Now it's time
to look back.

One of my scariest nightmares,
that we are about to relive.

For the first time ever,

I'm inviting you,
the audience,

into my inner sanctum.

Together, we will pull back
the curtain on the biggest,

scariest, and funniest moments
from our investigations.

I'm Zak Bagans,

and this is "Ghost Adventures:
Screaming Room."

[ Projector whirring ]

Aaron, will you hand me
my Triscuits?

Thank you, sir.

If I get thirsty, I'll just have
some of Jay's water.

What's a little backwash
between friends?

[ Horn blares ]

-What the...?
-[ Laughs ]

[ Horn blares ]

-You look a lot better.
-That is an improvement.

-It really is a good...
-Look at this thing.

-What is that?!
-The hell is that?

[ Horn blares ]
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God!

-Geez!
-I don't like that thing.

Does this remind
you of anything?

Does this give you
a clue?

Look.

Does that give you
a clue?

-No!
-My first kiss?

Reminds me of something, but
I don't want to talk about that.

ZAK:
The Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Museum in Hollywood, California,

is not only iconic,
it's haunted.

Filled with shrunken heads...

body parts...

and other items
with sinister histories.

I love this mask,
the way it feels.

I think it's like an alter ego
when you put it on.

I just -- I like it.
Can I wear it?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Yeah!
-I say do it.

MAN:
And here he is --

Believe It or Not!'s
Robert Ripley!

ZAK: The name Robert Ripley
has become synonymous

with the extraordinary.

Since the 1920s, he's been
known to the world

as the author, illustrator,
and host of Ripley's...

Believe It or Not!

Alright, I can't wear
this thing.

[ Laughter ]

Whoa!
Oh, that's scary.

[ Chuckles ] Oh!

[ Laughter ]
Ooh!

[ Laughing ]

In 1933, Ripley opened
his first Odditorium,

and today, several
of these museums

showcase some of the obscure
items he collected

during his expeditions
to the far reaches of the globe.

Robert Ripley -- that's one
of the guys that I wish,

if he was still alive,
that I could meet.

I think I have a lot in common
with Robert Ripley.

-Mm-hmm.
-A lot.

Bet he's got
some crazy stories.

Robert went to a lot
of the locations

to get the items
himself.
Right.

Cory Dacy has overseen
the operations

of this Odditorium
since 2015.

Little-known fact --

Cory now works for me
at The Haunted Museum,

as my general manager.
[ Laughter ]

No way!
Yes.

After I started doing
a little preliminary research,

I am a little concerned
that some of the artifacts

that you do have
could be cursed.

Tell me a little bit
about this.

CORY:
The mummy's foot is from Egypt,

and it's dated back
to 2000 B.C.

So we have a body part
from an Egyptian mummy.

This could be very powerful
in the effects

of what's going on here
right now.

You really don't understand
what I experienced

when I held
that foot in my hand.

Like, it was a moment.
[ Chuckles ]

Very odd.

Should we leave the room
when that comes?

-Yeah, like...
-No, I'm not saying...

I'm being serious, Jay.
Gosh!

I believe it.
I believe it.

The worst part is,
we know.

We know!
[ Laughter ]

Is it true that some of your
employees are really terrified?

It is. They don't like to close
by themselves

because of the feelings
they get walking through

some of the galleries here.

♪♪

So, the first reports
that we got here

were from a young lady
named Trinidad.

She was a former employee.

When she would come
through this area,

she said that as she went
through the kids' crawl,

something touched her butt.

Underneath here is a skull
in a box, too.

Is it a real skull?
There is a skull
in there, yeah.

[ Record scratch ]
Whoa!
Wait a minute.

There is a human skull

inside of a little
children's thing

Perfect place
for Aaron to go in.
Right.

-Of course.
-Perfect.

But I went in
with him.

AARON: Oh, my God.
There's a human skull in there?

Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me?

-That's crazy.
-That's crazy.

That would make sense why people
get touched down here.

ZAK: I do not...
I'm so claustrophobic,

it's not even funny.

Oh, I'm starting to panic.
You need to get...

Both of you guys are blocking
my way, and I don't like it.

I don't know if we can get out.
I'm kind of stuck here.

As we're beginning to piece
together what kinds of objects

are drawing the dark energy
to this location,

Cory shows us another
equally nefarious artifact

made of human remains.

CORY: My Asmat skull.

Let me just read you this.

"This skull was collected
by Ripley himself in the 1920s.

The Asmat are a famous
cannibalistic tribe

on the island
of Papua New Guinea,

and they would put human skulls

under their heads
in place of pillows.

If you're owning
tribal artifacts,

you are messing
with things

that are beyond
what you can even imagine.

These various
tribal groups,

their beliefs in the afterlife
were something that...

was very, very different.

And you go messing
with that stuff...

True meaning
of a curse.
Yeah.

All those cultures
are much more in tune

with the spiritual world
than most people are today.

The energy that they infused
into these objects

that they truly believed held
various supernatural powers --

those powers
don't leave those objects.

-Look at that!
-Whoa.

-What the hell?!
-That was a 9.7.

Did you see that?

Right by that sword.
Right by the sword.

Something is here --
something that is unknown

and something that is moving.

AARON: What's in this case
right here?

Yeah, there's a
sacrificial sword in here.

Some of these items
have actually been bloodied.

Have been bloodied?

So there's still blood.

Yeah, this was a used
sacrificial sword.

ZAK: Shown here is one of
the well-used swords

soldiers used to execute rebels
and insurgents

right before Ripley's eyes.

Right before Ripley's eyes.

And then he's like,
"I'll take the sword."
Yeah.

"How much for the sword?"

As this profound evidence
corroborates my theory

about the type of artifacts
driving the hauntings here,

we meet an employee

whose experience
furthers this connection.

We're in the lower
section right now,

and there is
a darker vibe down here.

Why are you scared
down here?

Having worked here,
I have seen people.

This is before we open and after
we close, that I have --

You're talking about ghosts?
Yes.

Do they look tribal?

Yes.

This was the pivot
of this investigation.

Apparitions of these...

various
indigenous people.
That'd be so scary.

To them,
these are sacred items.

Yeah.

And some of them are
dangerous items meant to curse.

You know?
And not just
a few of them.

There's tons of these objects
in there.
Right.

Yeah, dozens.
And all in one room.

We're here with Cari.
Yes.

We are blurring your face
to protect your anonymity.

How long was it until you
started noticing these things

after you started
working here?

Well, it was about,
like, two weeks,

and I felt like somebody
was just watching me,

following me everywhere
through the museum.

But then, after a while,
it started progressing more,

and then I've noticed
that it does follow me home.

Have you seen this entity?

I've seen a black shadow.

It would, like,
sleep next to me,

or I would see it
on top of me.

So, I mean,
this is crazy.

You take your family, your kids
to Ripley's Museum in Hollywood.

You walk around, you see
this stuff, but you don't know

that the people
that are working there,

giving you smiles,
are being affected

and being followed home
by these entities.

Wonder what the turnover rate
is for employees

because of stuff
like that.

I wonder if Ripley's knew
all this stuff

was, like, kind of like
collecting cursed objects

to see
what would happen.
Yeah.

Cari then tells us about
a disturbing disembodied voice

she encountered
at the museum.

When we would close down,
we would do a last walk-through.

There was a guy talking.

It was in the hallway, and I
looked 'cause he said, "No,"

and it sounded like
a man's voice.

And then I looked --
mumbling, "No, no."

[ Echoing ]
No...no...no...

That's where this all got
really interesting.

And these are the kinds
of things that I'm dealing with

at my museum.

I want you to hear something
that we just captured,

and I want you to tell me

whether or not this

is what you heard.

Look at this, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3.

[ Echoing ]

Yeah, that's the voice.

Wow.
That's the voice.

Yeah.

It sounds like it's saying,
"No, no, no."

Look at this, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3.

Remember what
she's telling us right now,

and then we captured something
on our digital recorder

that really matched
what she was saying.
Mm-hmm.

And she identified it.

I would have dreams
that I will go to a cave,

and people are getting
tortured there, killed there.

People are screaming.

I can't do anything.
I can't help them.

Would you believe that
these people in this cave

would be from some type
of tribe or something?

Well, yes.

I'm concerned.

Something here seems to be
inducing this fear into you.

You're working at a place
that is giving you nightmares.

Then you wake up, and whatever
gave you that nightmare

is in bed with you.

Then it takes you
to where it's from

so that you can witness
all the pain, suffering

from all the people that are
being killed in its cave.

We're in Hollywood.

What I just said, this is
a plot for a new movie,

but believe it or not,
it's really happening,

and it's happening
right here at Ripley's.

And you're
at the center of it.

ZAK:
Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to "The Ghost

I have a geomagnetometer
microphone here,

and my lovely assistant here...
What?!

...will show you one
of these beautiful pieces

of paranormal equipment
that you can win.

[ Cash register dings ]

This really made me
want to, like...

Be a game show host?
Yeah!

I think you could
pull it off.

What are you planning to do
with this equipment?

Well, I was thinking
the geomagnetometer,

we should do some readings
throughout the museum

to see if there's any sort
of unnatural disturbance

from the normal magnetic field
that the Earth puts off.
Right.

So we're gonna see if something
underneath the building

is affecting what
we experienced yesterday.

Look at that.
What the hell?

-That was a 9.7.
-Did you see that?

Yeah, I think
it was important.

We wanted to see
if something under the ground

was causing some...
Yeah, is there something natural
that's doing this?

This is our PILFER device.

This is our PILFER device.
We all know about the PILFER.

It puts out positive ions
into the air,

and in the past,
we've used it many locations

and it's stirred up
the activity.

Remember, Aaron, we figured out
to get the ionizer?

Oh, that's right.
That was a good idea.

That was
a good experiment.

Aaron and I actually
thought of this.

We thought
if we bought something

that does the exact opposite
and puts off negative ions,

throw this in the
investigation tonight

and see what happens.
Mm.

God, that room was
so intense.

Yeah.
Just walking around
in there,

you'd be like,
"Oh, this is fun."

Then you just could feel
the creepy,

the room itself.

This object is the West African
Nail Fetish Hate God.

Every nail that's driven into
that wooden hate god represents

a prayer that painful death
will fall upon a rival.

And this is the first time
that I ever heard

about a nail fetish
hate god.

-Mm-hmm.
-Damn.

Yeah, it's literally
an old voodoo doll.

To multiple people.

-Right.
-I mean, this is a statue...

It's not just one person
putting that energy, you know.

A bunch of people,
right?
But it's one item
meant to have energy

like a voodoo doll,
but a giant voodoo doll.

We're just kind of collecting
different readings right now

'cause we're walking around.
We're not exactly in one place.

If we stop in one place,
the reading shouldn't change

unless there's something weird
with the magnetic field

that's coming out
of the ground.

If you actually look closer,

see that little piece
of mirror right there?

So what they would do is that
the witch doctor or the shaman,

they would put
these chambers in there,

either in the belly
or in the head,

and they would put
sacred herbs,

sometimes actually
even use human parts,

like human hair,
finger nails,

and, like, this
kind of concoction,

almost like a witch's brew...
What?

And they would coat it
with glass or mirror

to kind of open it up
to the spirit world.

I wanted to touch it,
but they put it up so high.

Negative 30...
20, 40...

80...n-no!

160, 180, 190.

190?

[ Laughter ]
190?!

It was exciting, 'cause we're
always like 70, or like...

Never seen you
so excited for 190.

That was the highest
level we got.

Can you imagine every single
one of those nails,

the person that was driving
that nail into this artifact

had the intentions
of destruction,

curse, and bad luck,

multiplied over and over and
over and over again

in a culture
where this is very real.

Oh, yeah.
This is a charged object.

This is what I would really
love us to do,

is broaden our knowledge
to places like this.

We could learn a lot
and integrate them

in our investigations.
-Absolutely.

You know what's above us?
Oh, my God, dude.

Do you know what's above us?
Yeah.

The tribal room.
Right here --
it's 196 right here.

ZAK: Could these extremely high
geomagnetometer readings

emanating directly below the
room where this hate god resides

be responsible for amplifying
the negative energy

already associated
with this artifact?

See, the thing now is,
is I don't need

a nail fetish hate god.
You know why?

I got a dybbuk box.

[ Laughter ]

Right now, we're doing
some research stuff,

and we're not really
into full lockdown yet,

so Cory is still here.

You just ran in here
and said that you just heard

an extremely loud crash
coming from downstairs.

We're upstairs.
Yes, sir.

What did it sound like?

It sounded like one
of the camera things

crashing over
or getting knocked over.

This was interesting.

We heard a huge bang.
Oh, yeah.

We head to the lower level

to confirm the status
of our X cameras,

but find that none of them
have been disturbed.

You know, a lot of people
don't know, though,

that the museum
is on Hollywood Boulevard.

The energy that
Hollywood Boulevard alone has...

-Yeah, absolutely.
-Yeah.

That whole boulevard is haunted.
It's a haunted road.

People are killed
on Hollywood Boulevard.

-Yes.
-So much history.

Can I ask you something?
Yes, sir.

Here, I notice
the screws are gone

from this old mummy human foot.

When did you
unscrew these screws?

6:30, 7:00 tonight.

So it was this evening?
Yes, sir.

You unscrew these cases,
and then you hear

a loud crash down here.
Yes.

We had no idea
that they were going to let us

literally have hands-on access
to some of these artifacts.

-That's pretty special.
-I wanted to touch that,

but there's no way in hell.

ZAK:
Cory unlocked the casing on this
Egyptian foot and other relics

because Ripley's
is allowing us

exclusive hands-on access
to these allegedly

cursed artifacts
for our investigation.

I think it's not only
just the one object,

but you're taking a bunch
of different objects

and putting them together
and sharing the same space.

And they might not even have
the same beliefs.

No, they're from
different...
Different tribes.

-Yeah.
-It could have been enemies

that they're now
in the same room together.

Nobody understands that.
Ripley's doesn't. I don't.

♪♪

ZAK: As we make our way
to the tribal-artifacts room

where, earlier, we documented

unexplained spikes
of electromagnetic energy,

Aaron seems to become
affected by something.

I just can't do it.
What's it doing to you?

It's something
with this room, man.

It's weird. I'm just, like,
going in and out of this,

like, euphoric
and then all of a sudden back,

and I'm exhausted,
and it's like...

Listen, what you're
feeling right now

is the electromagnetic
transient energy

that's moving around.

There was these
transient masses

that were moving around
that are spirits,

and this really coincided with
the employee that was stating

that she did see these
apparitions walking around.

They were walking around
amongst us.

These are the spirits
that the staff are seeing.

They're here.
These are their remains.

This is their tomb.

Here we are opening
the cases to get hands on

with their artifacts.
Yeah.

We're not opening ourselves up
to any danger.

-Right.
-But you can feel you can feel

that electricity of them.

It feels like airflow,
even though there is no breeze.

Oh, my gosh.
What the...

Holy cow.

Look at these...
Oh. Geez.

-Hey, man, do you feel this?
-I do.

Yeah.
This is nuts.

Yeah.
I got like...

We're in the Ripley's Believe
It or Not! Museum.

It's literally inside --

Put your hand right
in front of me.

Right here. Right here.
I know.

Whoa. It's like a tornado.
I know.

It's just right in front of us.

Oh, man.

I hate to say it,
but it feels good.

Ooh.

Like, it's like, "Holy cow.
The energy."

Just as we are feeling this
intense and powerful energy,

downstairs in the basement,

we capture something unexplained

on two of our X cameras.

-Yeah. Remember that?
-What was that?

Watch.

It's all right here.
What's wrong?

Nothing, just want
to get out of here.

I'm not sure what happened,
but it looks like a light

just came on
downstairs by itself.

-What?
-Where at?

Kind of near where
the Egyptian foot is,

the whole side of the frame is
lit up.

I think something got
ripped off

one of the lights,
right, Billy?

-Oh, right.
-The gaff tape was ripped.

As we race downstairs to where

this light
mysteriously turned on,

we discover that
our heavy-duty gaff tape

has been ripped off
the museum's security camera.

Look how much gaff tape
is on that.

I think it was
three pieces of gaff tape.

-How did that happen?
-There's no way.

You know how sticky gaff
tape is, right?

There was no explanation
for that.

No.

And you can see how much

gaff tape we used
to cover this security camera.

And there is no oil
or grease on this camera.

It takes a lot of work
to get that off of there,

and it was just
taken off of there.

It was interesting.

We can't say it was
100 percent paranormal.

But you got to understand,
when we capture these things

and they happen
and it's unexplained...

-Right.
-...meaning we can't explain it,

we're gonna present it.

because this could be evidence.

As we try to debunk this as
being an explainable force

of gravity, we notice something
when we check this X camera.

If you watch how the light
illuminates the room,

it pans across the floor
from left to right.

If the tape were to fall
due to gravity,

the light would enter
and illuminate the room

from top to bottom,
not left to right.

So we conclude that this tape

was forcefully torn off
the camera in a sideways manner.

That's right.
If gravity would have taken it,

it would have taken it
straight down.

It would have went, ohh.

It would have went
straight down.

It would be slow, probably.

It's like a butterfly.

Instead of it [whistles]
it went like -- Yeah.

Instead of an alligator,
it went like a butterfly.

[ Whistles ] You got to
do the sound effect.

Yeah. And then jazz hands.

[ Whistles ]

What'd he say?

Dude, this room is so, just...
Oh, my God.

What is going on with you?

Something just...
It felt like you had a feather,

and you were, like, tickling
the back of my neck.

Dude.

Seriously, man.
There's just going on with me.

Calm down. Listen, here's what
we're going to do.

This is happening, okay?

The tape just got
ripped off the camera

within a few feet
from the mummy's foot,

and this is also where,
right before our investigation,

the general manager heard
a loud crashing sound.

So we are going to call
the general manager on walkie,

have him come
inside the building,

and he has to witness us taking
the mummy foot out of its case.

-This foot. Okay.
-Here we go.

All right. I'm going to say
something to everybody.

And I don't care how...

How weird it sounds?
Yeah. Go ahead.

I've had a foot fetish
ever since I was a little kid.

-No secret.
-Okay. It is what it is.

I like the cute little feet
when they look like

little soldiers all lined up.
Do you know what I mean?

I want to take...
I understand that.

If none of you want to be
involved with this...

There's a very real belief
about handling mummies

from Egyptians
over 2,000 years ago.

I am going to hold it,

and if you guys want to be
present for it, you can.

If you don't, you don't have to.

What, Aaron?

I want to just because
so much is happening.

I think we might get
some great evidence.

Okay, but while we do this,

I think it's important
to have SLS

because if a figure
manifests around it

and then on top of that,
some type of communication.

I'm not weird, like -- I'm not
like a weird foot fetish guy.

But you like feet.

I was excited
to hold the mummy's foot.

But I don't want my humor

impacting the moment that I had,
which was incredible.

I don't know if I want to say
that I have a foot fetish.

Too late now.

Yeah, it's really heavy.

♪♪

Wow. This is surreal.
Whoa.

This is strange, you guys.

Holy cow.

Zak, that figure is
directly behind you up

on top of your shoulders
just now.

You know, back in the day,
decades ago,

the Egyptians would sell
these to tourists for money

out of the tombs.

Look how many stories
there are of curses

about when people break
in the tombs and stuff,

you know?
Oh, that's right.

Ow. Ow.
Ow.

Ow.
Holy cow. Holy cow.

The SLS just went crazy.
Ow.

Oh, it's behind you, Zak.

It just took off.

Oh, that's weird.
What happened?

What the hell?

What?
What?

Oh.

Oh, it was just like --
it was a pain

like something stung me.

That's so
coincidentally weird.

It was so
coincidentally weird.

I've never had that happen
in an investigation.

-Man, that is weird.
-And you couldn't see

what I was seeing because
I was seeing the SLS.

I feel a sharp pain as if I just
stepped on a large nail

and it drove up through my foot,
and at this same exact moment,

a small stick figure is seen
manifesting down beside my foot.

Look at this little figure
that appears

right next to my foot.

What do you think
that could have been?

You think it could have been
like her spirit?

Like,
"Don't mess on my foot."

If that wasn't
anything paranormal,

it was one hell of
a coincidence.

That was so painful.
Is it still painful now?

No.

Zak, there's a figure standing
right where the foot is.

Look,
it's like blocking it.

Can you touch that table?
Whoa.

It's grabbing your hand, Zak.

Now it's gone.

When I grabbed the foot,
I held it in my hand,

and I started
getting flash images

of, like, a beautiful
Egyptian woman.

I know it sounds crazy.

I know it sounds crazy,
but I was,

and instead of me
holding her dead foot,

I was holding
a beautiful foot.

Here's the biggest thing
that was evidence to me

and me only because
I know what I saw.

It was a new foot.

I saw it as a --
as a well-manicured foot.

I saw the skin of it,
the sheen of the skin.

I saw it in detail.
It was so -- it was so bizarre.

It was like a dream.
But I was awake.

I'll never forget it.
Believe it or not.

[ Chuckling ]
Believe it or not.

Ch-ch-ching!

I want to hold it one more time.

That was horrible.

I can't believe
how heavy this is.

Right now, my fingers are,
like, in between her toes.

Like, I can feel the grooves.

This is incredible.

I am holding
an over-2000-year-old

Egyptian mummy foot
of a priestess.

I don't know. I'm just fired up
because this moment

really was quite an experience,

and I was not expecting this
to happen at all.

-What?
-An Ida is a kind of sword

used by the Yoruba
people of West Africa.

-Oh, my God.
-What?

It was a big knife
by a West African tribe.

It was usually used for hunting,
war and other uses.

West Africa is where
the nail fetish

and all that stuff comes from.

There might be something
following Aaron around.

Yes.

There's a whole lot going on,
I've got to say.

This sword was often
used in wars,

and it was also known to be
covered with pepper and poison

so that it would paralyze
anyone who was cut by it.

All of a sudden, this figure
appears again to my left.

Then, as I'm having more deep,

vivid flashes of a beautiful
Egyptian priestess,

this figure appears to jump
right inside of me.

Lookit!
Double skeletal figure.

The spirit you saw right there
disappears into me.

The spirit was then
channeling me.

As it was channeling me, it was
letting me see the spirit.

Could this be evidence of my
channeling the priestess' spirit

through direct contact
with her sacred body part?

I feel like I need
to put this down.

Yeah, something was agitated
that you're touching that.

Oh, now it's standing
next to you again.

Actually, it's connected
to the foot, a full figure.

You seeing this, Cory?
Look at that.

It's basically standing,
starting where the foot is,

up, like you're holding
an entire figure.

I have never seen
anything like that.

See, that's what I really
liked about this moment,

is that we had
a third party person,

general manager of the museum,
witnessing this.

What did you see, Cory?

It was as if she was
standing in your hand.

Really?
And I saw you holding the foot,

and then it looked
like someone curled up

and stood completely up...
Really?

...from you holding the foot.

Yeah, it's pretty incredible.

Not only do I feel
the emotions of spirits,

but at times, if it's
supercharged,

I will see the spirits
or what they want me to see.

And that's what
these "flash images" are.

[ Laughs ]

[ All groan ]

Whoa!
My chair's broke.

[ All groaning ]

Just dropped all your snacks
everywhere.

Gross, bro.

Yeah, I don't have snacks now.
My snacks are gone.

ZAK: Because of
the incredible activity

happening in the basement

of this Ripley's Believe It or
Not! Odditorium,

I decide to leave Aaron
downstairs all by himself,

while Jay and Billy
conduct an experiment

in the tribal-artifact room.

This is an air ion counter.

It will measure both positive
and negative ions in the air.

This puts off positive ions,
which are harmful and dangerous.

I'm going to show you
what the ion count

is before I turn this on

so you can see that this thing
puts off a lot of positive ions.

Explain to us
the PILFER device, Bill.

The PILFER puts out
positive ions,

which are harmful to us.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Okay. Why do you think I always
send you guys to operate that?

I feel like you and me are
always operating that device.

I don't force you to.
I ask you if you want to go.

I'm not going near that thing.

I don't want to grow
a third ear.

There we go.
There it is.

You see that?
Look at that, 598.

I've gotten headaches
around that thing.

Yeah, it gives you headaches.

If there's, like,
any scientists

or doctors watching this,
they could let us know

how bad that really is for us,
that would be great.

ZAK: As the positive-ion
PILFER device is engaged

and charging the atmosphere,

something begins
happening to Aaron,

who is actually directly below
Billy and Jay in the basement.

Hey, look.
Aaron's by himself.

And that's the way
we like it.

[ Laughter ]

So I'm about to put
the spirit box

inside this box
where the head is.

I didn't know it was open.

I'm just going to, like,
put it in there.

Then this huge thump just...

Bam!

ZAK: You guys don't understand
the sometimes

very loud reactions Aaron has
the little Jimmy legs

that he gets, like right there.

I don't know why.
When I get scared,

and something just happens.
I can't help it.

Let me tell you why.

You're shoving a spirit box
into a tribal enemy skull

that was decapitated.

And he's trying
to make contact with her.

It's like setting the skull
in the middle of a Ouija board,

using it as a planchet.

All right.
Here we go.

We're going to zero
this meter out now.

We're going to measure
the negative ions

that this device is going
to put in the air now,

which is the opposite
of what we just did.

I didn't know what to ask,

so I'm just going to
hold this in the air,

and I'm going to ask you
to say something or say

something you need
to say or talk.

What you guys got
to understand is Aaron

is just continually
trying to engage

into spirit interaction

by all means necessary,
using his body,

the recorder, the spirit box,
the cameras, everything.

And if you're knocking on
that door so many times

and when it opens,

you'd better be prepared
to see what comes for you.

Something right now is touching
the back of my shirt.

Oh, my God, dude.

[ Indistinct ]

[ Microphone static ]

[ Starts ]

♪♪

God, I was so scared
and dizzy.

ZAK: Aaron has
a disturbing reaction

and shows signs
of confusion and panic

as he begins hearing
chanting in his head.

We feel that the spirits
that we captured on the SLS

have been magnified,

and they're upset that
these cases are being opened.

We pumped the room
full of positive ions, right.

And then flipped it and filled
it full of negative ions.

And then that's when he
was having all kinds of trouble.

He just like --

I saw it, this chief guy.

Dude, you were having
a rough time.

I was in a forest.
I lost everything.

ZAK: As the energy at the museum
is strong from these ionizers,

Billy places the paranormal
Puck II device

on top of the
negative-ion device,

and I immediately receive
a message back at Nerve Center.

It just said, "Japanese."

I immediately rush to
the tribal room

and discover the paranormal Puck

sitting directly on
top of this object.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Turn your light on.

Are you serious?

-That was interesting.
-That was interesting.

I didn't even know
that the Puck was sitting

just above
the Japanese execution's sword.

What are the odds in that?

One in a billion?

The Puck has been a valuable
piece of equipment for us.

I'm always impressed
by the paranormal Puck.

This is the same sword
that Robert Ripley

personally witnessed being used
to decapitate people,

and this is the same spot
where we received a huge spike

of electromagnetic energy
during our interviews.

It just spiked,
and then it just went down.

Yeah.
So there's definitely...

Look at that!

Whoa.
What the hell?

♪♪

♪♪

ZAK: After documenting
a profound piece of evidence

around an artifact during
our Hollywood investigation...

I didn't even know
that was Japanese.

Neither did I.

...I returned to Nerve Center
and discovered

that Aaron is in trouble.

What happened?

I literally...

So I was trying to...
Oh, God.

What happened?

I put my hand inside that case
trying to get some spirit box,

and then I put
the recorder in there,

and it's just like
I was there.

And now, all of a sudden,
I had to sit down,

and I started hearing
chants, and like...

[ Groans ]

Tears falling down, man.

What did you get involved with?

God, I don't know, and then
I tried to get out of there.

Never thought that would
happen at Ripley's.

[ Laughs ]
Like [bleep]

You can't say that.

What?

The cuss word.

Just use a beep.

And then right before
I put my hand in it,

this huge thing goes boom.

I don't think that we...

Should have done that.

No, I don't think that
we're truly realizing...

No, exactly.
Yes.

...just the magnitude
of what's going on here...

No, you're right.

...because it's
a public museum.

You were having
a similar connection with that.

You know,
except mine was positive.

Not mine.

-Were you crying, bro?
-Yeah. It really messed me up.

Wow.

I think that this
is literally a signal

for some serious help here.

Like, these employees
are going through

some really serious stuff.

I couldn't sleep for months
after this.

And this is a place
where you can go

any time you want.

You pay to see it.

But the difference is,
is the things that we were doing

to try to connect
with the spirits.

We were on a whole
other level opening cases,

using equipment,
turning on the PILFER device.

Which never happens to them.

So they probably were like,
"Whoa!"

So far, tonight, everything
that's been said

had been totally legit.

ZAK: All right. You gave me
a sign that said, "Japanese."

Is something here cursed?

-Stones.
-Whoa.

Ooh.

This is incredible, the messages
we were getting right here.

Cursed stones?
Is something here cursed?

Stones.

Are there stones
somewhere in here?

I don't know.

Maybe we need to be
more specific.

Hold on.

Cursed stones.
But we didn't know what stones

they were talking about,
so we're like,

"Okay, now maybe
we just got a lucky word.

Let's try this again.
Are we in danger?"

That's pretty specific.

Then we start continuing to go.

How many of these types
of responses can we get?

Then it's really proving to us
that this may be

some type of a spiritual
conversation we're having.

Wow.
What item is cursed?

-Beside.
-Beside?

-Stop.
-Beside.

-Beside you.
-What item is cursed?

Beside you.

Like, it's talking about beside,
and what's beside you, Zak?

The sword.
And?

What item beside me?

-Coins.
-Oh, my God.

There's coins!
-Stop. Zak, look.

There's about a million
coins in that thing right there.

-Look. Look.
-Beside the coins.

Oh, God.

Dude, it's speaking
directly to you.

-Yeah.
-Oh, man.

How much more clearer
can that be?

We can't prove that
this was a spirit

giving us this information.

However, what are the chances

of all these words
coming together in succession?

And then people
don't even realize

they're continuing
the ritual.

They're continuing that.

By giving it coins.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Are we in danger?
"Killed."

Then it said,
"Where is the item?"

-"Beside."
-Beside you.

Be more specific.

Where is the item?
By the coins.

The coins, and the coins
are an offering

to the Nail Fetish Hate God.

Exactly.

Wow.

Robert Ripley's
worldly expeditions

introduced a collection
of ancient human

and tribal artifacts
to the ticket-buying public.

Why I really liked
investigating Ripley's

is because I knew that
the curator and founder

of this museum shares
some things with myself

that a lot of people
just won't ever understand.

There is a part of us
that has some form

of awkward attraction
to the very macabre.

You know, one thing
that Zak has that

he doesn't have --
better teeth.

Zak has much better teeth
than Robert Ripley.

That's awfully nice, bro.

Go ahead, guys. You guys go.

-Yeah, we're gonna go now.
-I'm out of here.

-Thank you, Bill.
-Yeah.
