I think it's creepy.

I think there's something going on.

I think something happened in this bathroom.

But something worse happened in that swimming pool.

I mean, there's no reason why there wouldn't be

a pool there, right?

It's full of dirt.

Well, let me tell you what happened.

You know what happened?

That night, I was about to...

And I saw the little girl and followed her.

I feel like a creep,

but I followed her to the pool

because she asked me to go swimming with her,

'cause I thought she was real.

Did you know it was full of dirt?

I didn't know there was a pool.

I was saying, "There's no pool."

So you crawl out of the bathtub

and followed her thinking,

"Okay, it's somebody's kid.

I'm just gonna go swimming with her."

I put my swimsuit on and I followed her to the pool.

Which is full of dirt.

You think that little girl was real now?

Do you think that she was a ghost?

Or do you think she was a real kid?

It's hard for me to...

I mean, obviously she wasn't real

because Curtis couldn't see her.

She thought she was swimming

and she was, like, playing in dirt.

Wow.

Well, there's a reason why

she was able to contact you.

Have you had a death of a child in your family?

Is there something that's happened to you

that's made you more sensitive to children?

We lost a baby.

Okay.

Well, you know, that could make you

more sensitive, more aware,

more approachable to a spirit,

especially a child spirit.

I think you need to get to the bottom of this.

I really think you need to figure out

what she needs to say,

because I don't think she's gonna leave you alone

until you know what she's trying to tell you.

And spiritualistically, that's how it was named.

Right.

And that's how it was founded,

was that way before people came here

in the 1930s,

way back from them,

the American-Indians, the Chumash Indians,

we wanted to see what this place really had left.

So spiritually, we felt that same thing.

And we have, every summer,

they came and set up tents,

and they have huge séances

where they would speak with.

That pool is creepy.

There's something happened in that pool.

Something happened in this bathroom too.

So, I think a séance is in order.

And what we can do is set that up

and try to contact whoever it is

that wants to talk to you.

I guess we could do it right here.

No, I think we ought to do it out by the pool.

It really feels to me like something...

Before we do the séance,

I just...

I just wanna ask the Lord to watch over us,

and keep watch and keep us safe, Lord.

Lord, we just wanna find out

what's going on here so that we can all

just keep going on with our lives.

Just watch over us and give your power

to protect us

And now we will join our forces together

and we will attempt to contact

someone on the other side

who has something that they need to say to us

because something's wrong here.

Something's not right,

and we can feel it,

but we're confused,

and we cannot understand,

and we need the help of someone on the other side.

Let them speak.

Let them come into this dimension

so that they can bring themselves

to where we are,

and they can let us know

what it is they want us to solve.

Her mother is...

is upset.

She says...

Find that.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, look, look.

I told you they're buried here.

- Go. - That's a skull.

Cheyenne's here.

Cheyenne is here.

She says that she is here

and she has to speak to us.

She has something that she needs to say,

and she needs to communicate it.

What is it, Cheyenne?

What is it you need to tell us?

She says...

She says that she needs the pool

to be water again

because she needs to live here

and be a mermaid forever,

and unless it's water,

she can't do that.

And she's unhappy because it's all dirt in there.

And she says she wants you

to be able to swim there

with your daughter

because you're going to have a daughter.

Our bags are packed.

Yup.

We've got a map.

I'm gonna pick somewhere to live...

You should be over there, doll face.

Okay, is that better?

- That's better. - Okay, doll face.

Come on, can't handle it.

- Oh. - Oh!

Oh.

Okay, action!

This is not working.

Am I doing it right?

What are you doing?

You're a little feisty this morning, aren't ya?

You're a little sweet.

- Okay. - You're sour.

- Okay. - You're sour patch.

Nobody to talk to.

Close your eyes.

And...

I'm gonna count to three

and wherever your finger stops,

that's where we're gonna start a new life.

- You ready? - Yeah.

Your eyes closed?

'Cause I can't tell from over here.

This sort of thing.

All right.

One...

Two...

And...

Three.

All right, sweetie pie,

what's it say?

Summerland.

- Where? - Summerland, California.

That's not a real place.

It is, it's right next to Santa Barbara.

Are you still filming?

Yeah, I'm gonna document this whole trip.

You can't drive and film.

- Yeah. - It's not...

Did you take the to be cleaned?

It's nice and clean, you got plenty of closet space.

What's back there?

It's not such a good view.

What is that?

Looks like it could be...

I think that's part of the neighbor's lawn.

- Oh. - Oh, what happened to the...

Should we call the maintenance guy?

Oh, he was supposed to repair that.

So what, it looks like that was a swimming pool.

I think there was a pool.

They just buried it?

They just filled it with dirt?

That's so creepy.

...the bathroom.

So, it's uh,

it's a two-bedroom then?

No, it's a one-bedroom.

What's this?

That's a closet.

- This is locked. - It's a closet?

It's locked, it's a storage closet.

It seems like it'd be a room.

No, no, it's a closet.

Do you have a key so we ca...

No, I don't, no, I don't.

But, um, yeah, it's always locked.

There's a bathroom.

It's clean.

Missin' a couple things, but, um, that's it.

I need two months rent.

Should we do it?

Yes, you needed to ask?

Is that it?

Yeah, it's perfect.

Summerland is like the gateway to heaven.

For the Chumash people,

that's where the spirits went.

So it seems like this town

has a very unique history.

So, wait, we're in heaven?

Basically, we're in heaven.

We're in Indian heaven.

We're in Indian heaven.

I just wanted to pull up here

and show you guys the big yellow house.

Over there.

They did a lot of séances back in the day,

and um...

There's a restaurant, there's this place

that's really, really eerie, man,

and it holds a lot, a lot of spiritual stuff.

They went big

with the séances a long time ago,

but this place is known...

this whole area's known for the spirit.

And my grandma, actually, used to read

with a lot of people on some spiritual energy stuff.

Yeah, every time I drive by here,

I always get this fuckin' just eerie,

eerie, eerie feeling.

Some things have happened here

and it's pretty much the mecca

of hauntism, right, in California.

This is the haunted place.

Is it vacant?

Like it just looks so...

Yeah, it's vacant, I believe.

I'm not sure.

I don't really keep tabs on it.

I do drive by it a couple times a week,

but, um, yeah, I think it's vacant.

But it kinda trips me out, to be fair, you know,

but she was doing séances,

I know they did tons of séances here back in the day...

We're gonna do a séance tonight.

Why is it vacant?

People from all over the world

will come here to check this place out.

There's a lot of paranormal activity, man, like...

Whoa.

Come here, hold the camera.

Hold it.

Come on.

Keep it there.

God, it's so cold.

So cold.

What's that on the ground?

Let's go.

We're out of here now.

We're out of here, let's go.

Oh, fuck.

What's this one, right here?

This is bad luck.

Let's go.

This is where we think they were.

She wanted to kill me, man.

You're gonna be okay.

We're all scared, brother.

I'm not.

You're not at all?

You should be.

The thing that I don't know, you know.

You're fine, you're gonna be ok.

Like, we're all scared, brother.

I'm not.

You're not at all?

You should be.

just last night.

Okay, let's do it.

Put your fingers on this thing.

Here.

Ask the spirits

if they're gonna hurt you.

Oh, shit, I have a bloody nose, Curtis.

Close that door.

North, the acreage

of Summerland, California.

When it first got converted

from tents to actual buildings

in the late 1800s.

There are some of the first houses

on the cliffs of Summerland.

They were followers of Spiritualism religion.

Here are some of the shots

of their very first oil rig.

Offshore oil rig,

the very first one was in Summerland.

The main streets.

Summerland is the birth place

of offshore oil drilling.

There was hundreds of piers here.

And we have one of the founders

of Spiritualism,

H.L. Williams.

He owned the oil

and he also started the town.

And his religion was Spiritualism,

so, he brought like-minded followers

to Summerland.

The new Summerland

is a journey to the other side.

The big yellow house

was actually where they...

That was their church.

That's where they did the séances,

was the big yellow house.

It's still there today,

and it was H.L. Williams' home.

We're gonna have to get used to this.

Yeah, how horrible.

Not a bad thing.

Oh, my gosh, I am so...

It's so windy.

I wonder if it's really cold.

Baby, I love you.

Will you marry me?

Really?

Really, here's the ring.

Yes.

Yes!

- Yes? - Yes!

- Yes! - Yes!

- Yes! - Pushy!

- Yes! - Okay, kiss me!

Cheers.

I love you.

All the geese.

That's really weird.

What, no?

Oh, my God.

This is so weird.

This is disgusting.

This doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

This town is just weird.

Founded by some spiritualists.

They fill in swimming pools with dirt.

Something must have happened here.

You don't just fill in a swimming pool with dirt.

And there's still lawn furniture over there.

It's like something happened

and they just didn't even clean up the area,

they just filled it with dirt.

Plant a tree.

Something awful happened here.

I really wanna know what happened here.

Especially because we live right next to this.

This is our swimming pool.

I don't feel good right now.

I need to get out of here.

I wanna know the truth about this town.

Was it really founded by keeping in contact

with the other side?

Is the yellow house really the center

of séances for California?

I need to know.

The sink just backs up in the dirt and it...

This place is just really weird,

and I feel sick to my stomach,

and I don't think we should live here.

I think we need to move.

I think we need to move.

This place is super weird.

We need to move.

This place is weird.

This place is so weird.

Do you want a bath, is that what you're saying?

Oh you do, okay, I'll get that started for you, okay?

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Love, love, love.

Is that hot enough for you there?

Very, very hot.

Do you want a bath, is that what you're saying?

Oh you do, okay, I'll get that started for you, okay?

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Love, love, love.

Is that hot enough for you there?

Very, very hot.

How was... how was your bath?

Actually very nice thanks to you.

Thanks to my guy.

Oh.

Oh.

Aw.

Oh.

Oh.

I know you want to make a documentary,

and I know this is important to you,

but I was just thinking...

maybe we could turn the camera off.

But...

Trying to relax and take a bath.

It's been a long day.

I just wanna relax

and it's like a third person in the room constantly.

I just want to be alone for five seconds.

Baby, are you all right?

It's 1:00, I'm gonna have to go find her any minute.

I'll be right back.

I'm gonna go find...

Ashley, is that you?

Ashley?

Ashley, what're you doing out here?

Yow!

That's dirt, get out, get out!

Honey, come swimming.

It's so wet.

Feels amazing.

What're you doing?

I'm swimming.

Get up.

The dirt is so nice.

Get up!

This is it right here, buddy.

I know, I think I'm late.

Hasn't been anybody here in ten years.

Probably not, how y'all?

Hey.

My brother.

Oh yeah.

Have you seen what he's been double-teaming with, right?

You don't mind if I...

If I have a little bit?

Have a little sip.

So good.

Mm, ah.

Ooh, nice.

My bones is glad it's here.

I only gotta walk about 50 yards to get some of this.

I guess you guys are having a good time over here.

Let me tell ya something, there's some good times

and some bad times in this place.

You may have noticed the pool back there?

All shady and filled in with dirt.

You know somebody came in?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Not all the pools in California have dirt in them,

let me tell you something.

I've never seen...

Well, anyway, after the accident...

that's the term, it was an accident.

It was an accident.

Either the kid jumped in himself or...

Too many chemicals, too many chemicals.

What do I look like, huh?

A murderer or something like that?

I just did what Ron told me to do.

Isn't that right?

Yeah, a real charmer, isn't he?

I bet he liked the two of you a whole bunch.

Yeah.

Well, same way with the Collinses.

Yeah, gave 'em free rent for two months

and that surprised me.

And, of course, after the accident, you know,

it was the daughter in charge of paying rent.

I was surprised they stayed here.

But Ron's a real character, man.

He got on the roof there one night.

He'd been drinking real bad, real heavy.

Started yelling and screaming, "Cheyenne, Cheyenne!"

He fell off the roof

and right onto the terrace there, almost cut him in half.

And the ma, well, we don't know what happened to ma.

Nobody knows what happened to ma.

Like I said, should be around as a spirit one day.

I don't know why.

I don't know where she went.

Just... just... just gone.

What was the daughter's name?

Cheyenne.

Some say she's still around.

Do you believe in spirits?

Hm?

How about you, Curtis?

Do you believe in spirits?

I don't know.

If there's any spirits here, I'm not scared.

Oh I tell you what, I tell you what I believe in.

I believe in Curtis from Wyoming

who should take a pretty young lady of yours

and get the hell outta here as soon as you can.

I don't want to.

You want to wait till you're dead to find out?

Did you fix the thing?

No.

I wouldn't try using it.

Thanks, man.

Yeah, call me if you need me.

I'm right across the yard over here.

Good night.

Good night.

Come on.

Let's just...

One hit.

One hit?

One hit.

Okay.

That's hittable.

I love you because you're funny,

because you always make me laugh.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

And that's why I love you.

So you love me because I'm funny looking?

No, I love you because your spirit

is always uplifting and funny and...

and you're trying to make this a joke as usual,

but that's what I love about you is you can joke and have fun.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I don't know, this is like a good time to do that.

Oh.

I love you.

It's true.

It's good money.

Bartending is great.

Yeah.

What're you gonna do?

I don't know.

What should I do?

Male strip?

Male strip?

Mm-hm.

I'll just make this movie about us and we'll be millionaires.

I'll just be your sugar mama.

Yeah.

Watch out for that tree.

That would've been bad, funny though.

Got ya.

You can't get me.

You need to give up.

Yeah.

Wouldn't that be a really funny joke.

I actually...

We're trying to see if this place

is somewhere where we can be safe and happy.

I'm not sure it is.

Well, I know that there's a little girl's ghost there

because there's...

Oh my God, oh my God!

What did you?

That shit that happened last night was pretty outta bounds.

Mike, you have to face life.

You don't run from everything that goes wrong.

You face it.

You just deal with it.

You can't just keep running from everything.

You need to be a man.

You can't...

Sometimes we do need to run.

We do need to leave.

And this is one of those times.

We can't be hanging out there when there's...

you're, like, acting like a total freak.

I'm just tired of running.

I'm so tired of running.

I'm tired of running too.

Obviously not.

I don't wanna run.

I don't wanna live somewhere

where my wife is seeing dead people

or seeing little girls

or waking up in the middle of the night.

Like, you don't... that's not normal.

Okay, there's a million other places.

There's a million other towns we can go to.

We just got here.

- There's no reason. - Exactly, we just got here.

We just got here.

Well what do you wanna do then?

I don't know, I just don't wanna run anymore.

I just... I'm tired of running.

I'm tired of moving.

We just got here.

I just... honestly, I just wanna go home.

We're gonna go to a new place, we might as well just go home.

That's where our friends are, my family, Curtis.

We can't go home.

There's no... there's no home.

You know that.

We talked about that.

There's no way we're going home.

Look, I promised that I would take care of you and I will.

And I'm telling you...

You think taking care of me

is just moving me around everywhere?

Taking me away from my friends, my family, everything?

Look, we had to move.

We had to move and we need to move now.

Okay, we're here now.

So now what?

You wanna just leave again

and just keep going and going and going.

Like, I can't live like this; I can't do this.

I can't do this relationship that's gonna be like this.

If you're gonna be this way... I just can't do this.

Well, wait, what do you wanna do?

Because I just want you to be safe, okay.

I love you and I don't... you're not being yourself, okay.

Just understand that.

You're not being yourself.

Look, maybe we should,

like, I think we should move.

I don't... I mean, what other option is there?

If we don't move, like, what're we gonna do?

Like, just burn some sage or something?

Yeah.

Or a séance or something.

I can't... I don't wanna do a séance.

We can't do a séance.

That's...

You'd rather just move.

Help me.

What're you doing?

We have to find them.

Baby, wait, it's okay.

...big yellow house.

During a recent remodel of the big yellow house,

crews discovered the remains of a little girl

and a super 8 movie camera with the footage still inside.

The footage has been released to the media by Summerland police

who hope that someone out there can help solve this mystery.

Investigators confirm the film was shot by the missing couple.

Believed they were murdered by occult members.

We know they moved to Summerland in 1972 to start a new life

after their only child died of a miscarriage.

Ashley picked Summerland off a map

to start their lives over again.

Now Summerland was founded in 1883

by real estate speculator H.L. Williams.

He divided the land into parcels

and then promoted the tiny lots to fellow spiritualists.

The houses they built included bizarre features

such as doors that open to walls

and stairways ascending to no where.

And the spiritual center of the town

was a community séance room

which is now the site of the big yellow house.

They believe Summerland

had a special gateway to contact the dead.
