What was it like to be in front of that sign

and touching that sign?

It was probably the most amazing experience for me right there.

Right there. [bleep]! Aah!

It's scary. That look is a look of pure terror.

And if you want more information,

just check out "idiot's guide to ghost hunting" by zak bagans.

Dummies -- "ghost-hunting for dummies," make sure --

did you really just say "idiots"?

-I don't know. -What?!

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 ]

this is the weirdest thing ever.

Usually I'm in here by myself or with my date,

and I'm watching a movie, but now I'm being watched.

We've actually been here for days.

-Hi, bill. -Hi, buddy.

-Hi, jay! -Hey, zak.

Always good to see you guys.

You guys don't ever call me to hang out, only for this.

I do to.

This is the only time I see you guys.

Nobody comes over here and delivers me deviled eggs.

-Nothing. Serious. -Eww.

I don't know how to make deviled eggs, do you?

All right, guys. We're in a movie theater,

and I just felt like it's time to go to hollywood.

Oh! Oh, haunted hollywood.

Oh, look, aaron, there's darth vader.

Do you ever think about dressing up like the star wars people

and hanging out? I could see you doing that.

Maybe not in hollywood, but just walking around town.

Do you secretly do that? Is that where you're at all the time when we're not filming?

-I bet. -Are you darth vader?

Was that you on the sidewalk? -Maybe. Maybe.

The odds are...Maybe.

♪♪

do you guys know what the most haunted spot is in hollywood?

-I have no idea. -No.

-Guess. -The hollywood sign.

Zak: So, billy, why do you always drive?

Why are you always the driver?

Billy: 'cause no one else wants to -- that's the truth.

That is the truth.

You're probably the most responsible driver.

This is the first location that we are going

to be investigating.

The sign is right below my feet here.

I didn't realize how out of shape I was.

[ laughs ]

until we decided to film at this sign.

That's my horrible memory of this location.

'cause the trail goes all the way.

-Yeah. -It's not easy getting up there.

If you ever are thinking about trying

to investigate this sign,

don't think about it because you are being watched.

Oh, [bleep].

Hurry, hurry, hurry. Just roll. Aaron.

This was like border patrol.

Imagine how many people try to sneak up there.

I just couldn't believe how many cameras there were.

And it's intimidating.

I approached the officer who, after learning

we've been granted permission to be here,

agrees to speak with us on conditions of anonymity.

What's -- what's that notice?

If you go beyond there, I think you get shot or something.

But I thought this was really cool

because we're investigating this area that's under probably

the most highest surveillance of a location we've ever done.

Yeah. They say if someone goes up there,

a helicopter gets launched. If you cross a certain area,

and it comes and gets you immediately.

Have you ever seen the spirit of peg entwistle?

The rangers will tell you this that have been here

for like 20-plus years. -Yeah.

They say that if you go that trail at night,

you will see her between,

I don't know, midnight, I don't know what it is.

-Really? -They see it all the time.

♪♪

aaron: God, what a view.

Can you tell me a little bit about why people are saying

the sign is haunted?

Is it true that this peg committed suicide here?

She did.

There was a woman, an actress.

Her name was lilian millicent entwistle.

She went by the nickname of peg.

-Do you remember her name? -Peg entwistle.

Peg entwistle, 'cause we just heard it.

[ laughter ]

she was in about a half a dozen different films

but ended up on the cutting room floor

of all those films except for one,

so rko dropped her contract.

And it was the night of September 16, 1932,

that she sat at a table and wrote a note out that said...

Woman: I am sorry.

I should've done this a long time ago.

It would've saved everyone a lot of pain.

Michaels: And she signed it only with her initials, pe.

Zak: Crushed by her failure in the movie business,

what peg did next some would say

was straight out of a hollywood movie.

Just so everybody knows, while we're doing our thing,

we have a separate crew that comes out for a couple days

and they do a great job. And this is one such example.

And it really gives you a visual reference.

I want you to feel the emotions

of these people that we're being told about.

She scaled the 50-foot letter h

to the top of the hollywood sign.

And sometimes our reenactments

are so great and scary that you have to have a disclaimer

that this might be a little too much.

Disclaimer, yeah. Very intense.

And with one final gaze at

the city she felt betrayed her...

♪♪

...She wrote the ending to her own story.

Is it true that, the next day, she got a letter stating

that she had a lead role for the beverly hills playhouse

in a play? -Apparently so.

That's the hollywood ending.

That's horrible.

It's terrible.

If that's not the most ironic twist,

I don't know what is.

It's been 70-plus years since she died,

but people still see a woman in period clothing appropriate

for the time that she died walking up this --

that lonely road up to the sign.

There have been two reports, actually, of people seeing

somebody climbing up to the top of the letter h and jumping.

-Really? -They think it's peg's spirit.

Zak: With night casting its shadow over us,

we head to a famed attraction within griffith park

which may prove that innocent energies can still be anchored

to locations which are familiar to them.

♪♪

there's something about this merry-go-round

that stuck with me after I left,

and it literally imprinted a vision in my mind.

And it's something so simple.

-How are you doing? -Doing well.

Can you tell me exactly what you saw?

Yeah, so we were walking back

from a family function here at the park.

The park's getting ready to close,

and we all see what appears to be a boy

dressed in period clothing wearing,

like, a newspaper boy hat and short pants,

and we thought that it was odd that a child

would be unchaperoned at that late of hour.

We actually called out to the child.

Didn't respond, didn't acknowledge the fact

that we were there.

Whoever says this first,

I'll give you a gift certificate.

So watch.

What item in this merry-go-round --

and you viewers, too. Jay: That?

Yes, it's that. It was that satyr face,

that devil face right there.

-Uh-huh. -That thing's creepy.

And then just recently there was an auction in England.

Oh, yeah, it looks exactly like that --

-that vase. -The vase thing. Same face.

I was able to find that face. I wanted to chip off that face,

but I can't do that, 'cause that's against the law.

But I found a vase with that exact face.

And then he started to move really quickly

in-between the horses.

He was moving through objects.

And then, as we approached, kid just disappeared.

He just dematerialized.

Seemed to have.

♪♪

you owe him a gift card.

Oh, yeah. I'll give you a gift card.

Do you think that this encounter was residual,

or do you feel that this little boy knew

that you were watching him?

Oh, that's a great question.

That little boy knew that we were watching.

I truly, truly love interviewing people.

I just love that connection.

-You're good at it. -Well, thank you.

But I like to connect with them

on an emotional level, on a deeper level.

And then I use that in the investigation.

I think it's a huge part of the investigation

is learning all that history and the research.

Well, I can't do it without you guys.

Yeah, you can. You can do the interviews without.

I think a lot of people

don't realize just how haunted hollywood is.

Oh, so haunted.

zak: Our investigation of hollywood's darker side

continues at the american legion hollywood post 43.

built in 1929 for the military veterans of los angeles,

this 33,000-square-foot building was also a social club

hosting the who's who of the old hollywood guard,

and countless legendary stars and starlets

made this legion their home away from home.

aaron: Dude, every world had its own feel, remember?

Right.

As we take our first steps inside the legion,

I immediately experience a strange energy

which draws me to this stairwell.

Ooh, man.

You all right?

[ exhales ] I just walked down these stairs,

and I literally was getting ready to just start crying.

We found out that that's the same exact stairwell

where this guy fell down the stairs.

I did not know that until he told me.

I felt just a huge rush of sadness,

like I was getting ready to start crying.

It was probably all the people in the bar

'cause we'd had a major memorial for marshall

after he passed away.

Zak: Terry duddy is the manager

and a 36-year member of the american legion.

Can you please tell me who marshall was?

Marshall was the bar manager.

And then, because they needed somebody to stay

in the building, they moved him upstairs,

and he had a bedroom up there for 33 years.

What happened at this flight of stairs?

This is a very tragic story.

-Right. -Very sad.

There was two tables full of poker players.

One table had lasted all night,

and marshall was at that table.

And that morning, I went to the restroom right up here,

and I heard moaning, and of course, at that point,

I looked down the stairwell,

and I saw marshall laying down here

at the bottom of the stairwell,

and it was obvious what had happened.

All the money that he had won

was scattered all over on the floor.

He had probably gone up the stairs,

carrying the money,

fell over backwards

and hit his head on the concrete.

And so I talked to him and tried to keep him awake,

and, you know, that was our last conversation

until he went into a coma and never came out of it.

How sad that is for him to discover his friend

at the stairs. -That's terrible.

♪♪

and, of course, he's been here ever since.

We call him our casper here in the building.

We named the pool room after him.

His picture's on the wall in the pool room.

Now, he says he's been there ever since.

Wait until you see what happens with these lights.

A lot was happening during interview day.

Mm-hmm.

He loves the legion. He loved everything about it.

I think that's probably what kept him healthy all the way up

until the week before his 90th birthday.

Do the lights do that?

I was just -- do they usually do that?

-Why are the lights doing that? -That's marshall.

He'll turn them off and on if you want.

Yeah, it was when you first mentioned him earlier

was when they first did it.

And right away he's like, oh, it's marshall.

-He knew. -Yeah.

Hello, marshall. My name is zak.

I'm here talking to your friend, terry.

-Hey, marshall. -Whoa. They just went off.

-And back on. -What?

-Yep. -Oh, there they go.

Look at that. Isn't that crazy?

-That's awesome. -That's what's so awesome.

Dude, it's when you said hi to him.

Marshall, thank you for turning the lights off and on.

To feel, like, emotions.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah. No, I'll make it.

As soon his friend marshall gave us that sign through

the lights, you can see the tears in his eyes.

-Yeah. -So powerful.

We all have friends and family,

and when you know that they're around you

and they're trying to give you a sign,

you feel it, you feel it in here.

When the lights went down, I felt the same thing I felt

as when I was at the bottom of the stairs. Oh, yeah.

And I literally was getting ready to just start crying.

♪♪

I actually don't tear up too often,

and when I do feel that, I know that that spirit is there.

Yeah.

And that spirit has a lot of power

to be able to let you feel the emotions of that spirit.

Even though this legion has a long history of hollywood

royalty who once walked these halls,

terry tells us of its darker side not known to many.

You always get the sense that people who drank here

and people who fought here and people who died here,

a couple of people died here in fights,

one guy in a knife fight. -What?

Oh, yeah. Another guy in a shooting.

He just started going into the layers of all these deaths.

And I was really shocked.

It's supposed to be this fun hangout spot, you know?

Yeah. Look at that dog.

On may 27, 1944,

then 57-year-old harry lucenay,

the owner and trainer

of the little rascals' beloved dog, pete...

Did someone draw all that eye on him?

The little rascals' dog, wasn't it? Petey?

Sorry, bill. I'm not as old as you,

so I don't remember this show.

Harry met his untimely death here at the legion.

During an all-night game of cards,

harry accused a man named charles bailey of cheating.

Just as I asked marshall how he is,

around the corner where he died on this landing in his friend

terry's arms, a light anomaly manifests

only seconds before we also receive

an intelligent response to my question.

Marshall, how are you?

-Going to -- -all right.

All right.

It all starts happening.

-Projection? -In the theater?

What? Terry mentioned they see people up

in the projection booth in the theater.

Zak: Jay recalls that terry, the legion's manager,

told him that they see shadow figures

up in the theater all the time.

As we received this ironic message,

we have no idea that we also captured a shadow figure

on our theater x camera, only moments ago.

Are you at the projection booth

or do you want us to go there right now?

♪♪

were you laying right here, marshall?

Soldiers.

Soldiers,

it just said soldiers.

Wave.

Wave, it just said wave at the soldiers.

Moments ago, jay and I were waving

at the soldiers' pictures in another room down the hall.

This message validates they saw us.

Do you miss human interaction?

-Your hair was a lot longer. -Right? Man.

Should I grow it long again? -I like it when it's long.

-Do you? -Yeah.

Aaron: If it could cover your face, it'd look great.

-Be nice. -Sorry. Sorry.

Is there any spirits that are bad here or negative?

How many spirits are looking at us right now?

15.

[ gasps ] it said, "15," jay.

Hold on, hold on. 15.

-Hello. Instant. -Right.

Intelligent response.

I said how many spirits are here and it said, "15."

wow. Holy cow.

That was a direct response.

Direct response.

The ovilus, to me,

yes, it is a basic piece of equipment,

but I think it's very functional.

And if spirits are using that and they chose the word,

they see your reaction.

You can understand my words.

We can communicate, but why can't you --

deplete.

It says, "deplete."

I said, "why can't you move things?"

it said, "deplete."

are you talking about your energy is depleted?

Why is your energy depleted?

Life.

Life.

So your life depleted your energy?

Just imagine it being somebody trapped far away

and they're signaling you with a light,

and you don't understand those lights.

But you're saying it out loud.

"are you telling me you need help?"

and as soon as they start getting it right,

it's gonna make that more intense.

From birth to death,

that was the only energy that you had?

-I am so -- -I know. I know. I know.

Like, chills all through my body.

I feel ice cold.

It said outside.

What are --

demon, it just said -- [bleep]. Ah! Whoa!

My card just went out.

Oh, my god?

Dude, I just got the chills again.

And sometimes it can change on a dime like this.

Did you hear that?

Yeah, dude, my night vision is not working.

-I totally -- -oh, my god, jay.

It just said, now it just said six.

It just said demon six.

What I heard was the only time

I was terrified in this investigation.

Yeah. [bleep] my heart is racing.

Oh, my god.

Was that you that went... [exhales sharply]

no, why the hell would I --

oh, my god, jay. It's saying "hide" right now.

-Hide? -Hide?

We believe we were just speaking with the kindred spirits

of deceased soldiers and veterans,

and they warned us to go outside

to avoid what was about to happen.

And just as I start to question them about outside,

it is too late, and I am cut off by the word "demon."

what are --

demon!

Then jay and I hear a very disturbing,

deep hiss in the stairwell with us,

which also causes jay's camera to malfunction.

What are --

demon, it just said [bleep] -- ah!

When you're in the dark and you know where your buddy is

and you know what you heard inside your ear...

It just said [bleep] -- ah!

...It's scary to hear that hiss at the same exact time.

That's -- that look is a look of pure terror.

Right after "demon," we received the number six,

which coincidentally is associated

with the sign of the beast.

Then we receive "hide."

and we didn't even know there was any evil there.

It was like one of those investigations where, like,

I thought we were gonna talk to charlie chaplin

and friendly ghosts,

but it turned real quick and was not expected.

Yeah. Literally, jay and I were stunned

and we had to go outside and re-evaluate all of this.

[bleep]

that was -- this is the american legion.

This is in hollywood.

This isn't supposed to happen here.

-I know. -I felt that, like --

-did you hear that hiss? -I heard it, and I felt it.

Did you, did you hear that?

It was right behind me, right over my shoulder.

It was right after it said "demon."

'cause you asked what negative --

"is there any negative spirits here?" right, right.

Is there any spirits that are bad here, negative?

Everything was fine.

It was answering every single question,

and then all of a sudden --

you were like, "is there any negative things here?" right.

-And it's, like -- -demon.

Yeah.

What the [bleep] just happened?

Jay, I like when me and you investigate.

Me, too.

And I like it when we investigate, g.

We have an investigation next week.

-Hey, jay. -Yeah.

You -- you want to investigate with me?

-Yeah, I'd love to. -We'll go shopping.

I'll send these two dudes somewhere.

Okay.

♪♪

♪♪

can I have some snacks? 'cause I threw all mine on aaron.

By the way, dude...

You can have some veggie straws.

...When you threw that popcorn at me,

and I have, like, a migraine,

and, like, I have, like, bruises all over.

Oh, stop trying to...

[ laughs ]

♪♪

jay and I gather ourselves and are somewhat upset

to have experienced severe negative activity

inside of this type of location.

Yes, we are still outside processing this.

We sat out there for a good 45 minutes...

Oh, yeah.

...Because that's how bad that hiss messed me up.

We return inside with caution to try to find closure

to these disturbing events.

I was so scared to go back in there.

And sometimes, if you're watching this on tv,

you're like, "oh, I can see if something was thrown at you

or something," but sometimes it's that hiss.

Just being there and hearing that,

knowing that there should be nothing there,

there's no physical body

there to make that hiss, it messes you up.

I just didn't --

this isn't supposed to be the place for that.

No.

Do you hear that?

There's footsteps echoing down there, like boots.

Yeah.

This isn't, this isn't supposed to be the place for that.

No.

Do you hear that?

No.

Do you hear that?

There's footsteps echoing down there, like boots.

Yeah.

It changed the whole dynamics of the investigation,

-absolutely. -It pivoted it.

-Pivoted it, right? -Yeah.

-Pivoted it? -Pivoted. Pivoted?

Say that -- say that five times.

-Pivoted it. Pivoted it. -Say it five, ten times.

Ready, go. -Pivoted it.

-Faster, faster. -Pivoted it. Pivoted it.

This is truly how we are.

We're not doing this just for camera.

This is how we are.

Zak will tell us what to do.

Like, "say it again, say it ten times,"

and if you play along, you're just as bad as he is.

[ laughter ]

♪♪

the vibe down here is totally different.

Why do I have a little belly right there?

I don't like it.

We didn't have gaff tape on him.

Lean back?

Don't -- don't tell that story, bill.

Do not tell that story. This is all about opening up.

-I didn't hear it. -Opening up.

But do not tell that story a day.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. We didn't have gaff tape.

I just threw a bowl of popcorn on, aaron.

These are probably going to hurt more

'cause they're heavier.

-Lava hot springs. -Lava hot springs.

I order you all to stop. No fisties.

Watch your theater, please. This is a good part. Good evp.

Why did you say "demon,"

then the number six?

We head upstairs to review our digital recorder session

and are absolutely shocked by what we captured.

Oh, my god.

[ indistinct static ]

-"let me hit you." -that's a class a evp.

-What do you hear? -Let me hit you.

That's what I hear.

Good, jay.

Thank you. Can I have a veggie straw?

Let me hit you.

And that's a creepy...

Not a pleasant voice.

Oh, my god.

What am I doing with my tongue?

-You do that a lot. -Do I?

When you concentrate, you do that.

I do what? Just tongue?

It's when he listens to evps, he does the...

-You concentrate. -Don't do it.

Why did you say "demon"?

We now return to the bar area, to see if I can rid

this place of its negative energy.

Well, I'd like to tell you spirits

that I don't know who's here.

We did experience something negative.

Demon.

So whatever negative thing that we encountered here,

you need to leave this place.

You don't belong here.

It started bothering me. This is such a special place.

This is for veterans. Right?

This is where marshall died. This was a tragic moment.

Marshall, if you're here, I know we communicated with you

and whatever kind spirits over there on the stairs.

I want to say thank you.

I respect you, respect what you did for our country.

This is your place. This is your home.

I can't tell you 100%

because an ovilus said "demon" that there are demons there.

I'm going based on the hiss that we heard.

And if there were demons there, I just felt like

I needed to say some words that they don't belong there.

Yeah. God, that was great.

It's over. They go so fast.

-I know. -Until next time.

Billy: You're going to need more popcorn.

Actually, I'm hungry. I want like a hamburger.

-Yeah. -I'm down.

-Will you guys eat some? -I'll get some fries, for sure.

Right. Let's go. I'm starving.

-I'll drive. -Delicious.

-Huh? -I'll drive.

Let billy drive. He always likes to drive.

-I got a new car though. -You did?

-Yeah. -Are you serious?

Is it out there? -Yeah.

Zak: Cut!
