Original subtitles

He is pissed,

and he does not want us to go back here.

He was doing some sort of witchcraft.

Witchcraft is done, so it's almost like a curse.

Somebody is on top of me, choking me.

They felt somebody.

I want to leave. I just want to move.

I'm panicking. I want to get out of here.

This is not a good situation.

My name is Amy Allan.

There's death here.

Don't wanna go down there.

I see dead people.

They hide in the walls and they watch.

I speak to dead people...

She's definitely a serial killer.

...and they speak to me.

She is going to torture them.

But there's only one way to know if my findings are real.

They were all murdered.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve Di Schiavi.

I'm a retired New York City homicide detective.

So is this the only time you're been physically attacked?

I know every person, every house has secrets.

There is no question in my mind that he was talking about Satan.

It's my job to reveal them.

Who do you think possessed you?

But Steve and I never speak...

We never communicate during an investigation.

...until the very end.

Well, you're not gonna want to see this.

When we uncover if it's safe for you to stay...

Hell, no.

Or time to get out.

Everyone is in jeopardy.

I'm in Murrieta, California.

It's about an hour and a half in from L.A.

I got a call from a woman named Lina. Sounds real bad.

She's convinced whatever's in the house

is going after her husband and her 15-year-old daughter.

Now, this is a woman who is religious,

doesn't like to mess around with the paranormal,

but she's so desperate, she called us in.

I really hope we can help her out.

Before Amy arrives,

I clear the area of any leading information.

This home has a lot of photographs

and religious symbols,

so it's important that I cover or remove them all.

When I'm done, the location will be ready for tonight's walk.

There's so much noise out here.

It's...like, ridiculous.

I don't like it.

It's making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

I'm panicking. I don't like this.

I want to run. I want to get out of here.

This is very bad.

So, Lina, I'm glad I'm here.

I mean, you sounded really upset on the phone when we spoke.

Now, what do you think is here?

I think it's something evil.

Whatever it is, I think it's something

that is just wanting to harm my family.

How long have you guys lived here?

We've been for 11 years.

Now, have you had activity since the beginning?

We only started having activity about the last 31/2, 4 years.

You have any theories as to why?

My husband, we had an acquaintance

that was dealing with some occult things,

and my husband brought something home.

Help me out here.

What exactly do you think this guy was involved with?

All I know is that he told my husband

that he was doing some sort of witchcraft

to become more popular.

Almost like a deal with the devil.

Yes.

Was your husband involved in this stuff?

No, but he is very sensitive.

Okay. So, Lina, who exactly lives in the house?

- This is my family. - Okay.

That's my husband, Sal.

my son, Allan, who's 21,

myself,

my daughter, Mei, who is 20,

and Emily is 15.

All right. Lina, do me a favor.

Give me an overview of what you guys are going through.

We've got noises.

We've got things moving on their own.

We've got physical attacks,

nightmares, and personality changes.

All right.

Personality changes -- what are you talking about here?

Mostly in my youngest daughter and my husband.

Let's start with Sal.

What kind of personality changes are we talking about?

He'll change from being normal and happy

to being completely depressed for no reason.

All right. Now, was he ever like this before?

- No. - Okay.

So your daughter Emily, how has she changed?

With her, it's very severe anxiety and depression.

She doesn't leave the house anymore.

It's very hard on her and myself as well.

How you holding up?

I'm exhausted all the time, lethargic.

I mean, you break my heart when I listen to you.

And you have nobody to turn to?

No. You know, this is my last resort,

and I want to have my family whole, back together again.

Okay.

There's these things.

They look like little lizard gremlin things.

They're running around and they're, like,

doing this weird...

pitched laughing giggle.

To me, what I'm thinking is that they're little, like,

low, low, low level demons.

They create an atmosphere of depression and lethargy.

I don't know why they're attached to the living here,

but they are.

They just make it impossible to get anywhere in your life.

It's almost like they're sent, though.

There might be something behind that where witchcraft is done,

and so it's almost like a curse.

So, Lina, what's going on in here?

We've had several experiences around here.

One of them was the door here

slammed by itself very aggressively.

All right. So how hard are we talking about?

- I mean, did it... - Very hard.

- Like that? - Yes, if not harder.

Okay. So you didn't have any of the windows in here open?

- No. - All right. Anything else?

I saw a very tall, dark figure running through our house

from the hallway into the kitchen

and with very, very heavy footsteps.

How tall do you think this thing was?

About 7 to 8 feet tall.

Are you sure it couldn't have been anything from outside?

No.

So, Lina, obviously, you cannot go on like this,

you or your family.

I need help, and I want...

It's okay.

You want your family back.

I want them to be healthy again...

- Okay. - ...and back to normal.

You've put a lot on your shoulders.

Hopefully, we'll have tears of joy when we're done, okay?

I hope so.

Not good. Really not good.

I just saw a body in the ground here.

I believe that this is...

a female.

There's something with her,

an illness,

and I think that is affecting the living here.

Do you know how it's affecting the living?

Sudden onset of nausea, being extremely drained.

They feel exhausted all the time

and also, like, this anxiety.

Fear.

She does not like the person in this room at all.

At all.

Why?

Basically, she's calling this person a beast.

So, Sal, I was talking to your wife, Lina,

and she's worried about your youngest, Emily.

Yeah, she's not doing well.

It's the worst pain, that real pain in my heart, you know?

Lina, she said that your personality has changed.

I mean, you agree with that?

Yes. I get angry really fast.

I wasn't like that before.

And then anxiety and then depression,

and it's getting worse.

Sometimes I just cry.

You're going through a lot, Sal. Yes.

So, Sal, I was talking to Lina,

and she has a theory that about 4 years ago,

you were talking to some guy that was practicing

some kind of weird witchcraft.-

And that whatever he was doing,

something might have attached to you.

Do you agree with that?

Yeah, because I'm actually open to that stuff somehow.

I don't know how.

So what about experiences, Sal?

I have terrible nightmares.

Can you describe them at all?

I feel like somebody, like, is, like, on top of me

and won't let me move.

Have you ever been tested for any kind of sleep disorder?

- No. - Okay.

To me, it sounds like sleep paralysis.

But what do you think it is?

I think he is a real devil.

The demon is, like, on top of me.

He's grabbing me and choking me.

- Okay. - So I can die in the nightmare.

The dead girl wants to leave. She wants out.

This living person is aware

that something paranormal is trying to kill them.

I know that they felt, you know,

like somebody trying to strangle them.

I don't think they know that they're actually not dreaming,

so they are awake.

They're being strangled. They're being smothered.

The dead girl, she's figuring out how to...kill this person.

I was talking to Mom and Dad. You're the oldest, right?

- Yeah. - How old are you?

21 years old.

Do you have any concern about dad and your younger sister?

Yeah, they have changed.

They feel so different and distant.

Everybody seems to be having all kinds of different experiences.

What about yourself?

I have really bad nightmares.

Now, your father described nightmares.

Yeah.

Now, what kind of nightmares are you having?

All of a sudden, something, whether it be, like,

a person or anything,

it would just become, like, a dark shadow

that'll eventually become, like, a human-sized figure.

- But is it threatening to you? - Yeah.

All right. So anything else?

When I'm sleeping, I'll feel like something is shaking me,

and I'll wake up in real life.

Okay. So you're sure it's not a dream,

or do you think you're being really physically shaken?

I'm being really physically shaken,

and it'll feel like a shake enough

to where it will move me back.

What do you think is going on?

I feel like whatever is happening is kind of trying

to divide my family,

at least when it comes to my dad and my youngest sister.

They're like two different versions of people

that I used to know.

Okay.

I'm seeing, like, this angry dead man, old,

and he is...pissed.

and he does not want us to go back here.

He doesn't like living people.

He hates this...family.

They don't respect him. They all deserve what they get.

Okay.

So I'm seeing kind of a weird thing here.

So I'm seeing a person laying in the bed.

It's a male, probably anywhere from, like, 15 to 21.

The little old man is on top of this male.

There is some sketchy... going on here.

Seems like there is a lot of things going on in the house.

Have you had any experiences?

Yeah, I always hear running along the roof.

- Does it sound like an animal? - No.

It sounds like a person with really heavy shoes.

Okay. So anything else?

I have been felt like I'm being watched all the time.

Where do you feel it?

Usually sleeping, and then I'll randomly get up

and, like, look at every corner of my room,

and I'll feel, like, a really heavy stare on me.

But does it feel like somebody that wants to do you harm?

Yeah.

This is the worst room.

It's interesting, with the curtains.

Literally, like, a doorway for the dead,

coming and going, coming and going.

So this person, definitely a medium, without a doubt.

They're getting bad, crazy-ass dead people.

I do think that they would cause this person

to feel overwhelmed and sad.

Your mom called us in, and she's really concerned about you.

She thinks you've changed emotionally.

- Yeah. - Do you agree with that?

- Yes. - What's going on?

I have anxiety and depression,

and, like, ever since the activity started,

I never want to leave the house.

That's not really normal for a 15-year-old.

- You know that, right? - Yeah.

Is it affecting you physically, too?

Yes, I am really drained of my energy.

Sometimes I'll stand up and I'll, like,

see black for, like, a minute.

If we can figure out a way to fix whatever the hell

is going on here,

would you want to stay, or do you still want to go?

I want to leave.

I just want to move away from this property.

Okay. That's sad, honey.

One of the things that I'm getting about this area,

and then specifically now, this room,

is these tall beings,

that are ancient.

They were here before man,

and the dead were talking about them coming from the sky,

and so that does make me think that these are aliens.

I see them coming in

and abducting people in this house.

How might they be affected by that?

Irrational fears.

Most abductees have issues with certain noises and frequencies,

sleep issues, nightmares.

And the harm it can do, I think,

to a person physically and mentally

and emotionally is pretty severe.

Sal is such a sweet and sincere guy,

and I know he believes his nightmares and sleep paralysis

come from the paranormal.

But I called a local doctor,

and he says it could just be symptoms of sleep apnea.

So I had Sal do a home test.

He put on this contraption, went to sleep wearing it,

and all the data was recorded.

Right now, I'm heading over to meet that doctor

to go over these test results.

Well, Doctor, I appreciate you meeting with me.

So my client is suffering from nightmares and sleep paralysis.

Now you mentioned sleep apnea could be the cause of this?

What are the other symptoms of that?

It can cause insomnia, fatigue,

mood swings and depression.

Okay. Now, would he feel like he was being choked?

Sometimes people feel like they're gasping.

They can't get enough air,

and they'll wake up...

feeling like they're choking.

If this goes on for a long time, what could happen?

Typically, that's going to be hypertension,

high blood pressure, sometimes heart failure.

So, Doc, I know you normally test people here at your office,

but my client slept with this contraption at home last night.

So you had a chance to look at the results?

- Yes. - All right, Doc.

So what are we looking at here?

So what we're looking at is breathing pattern up here.

All right. So does this mean he has sleep apnea?

It does not appear to be sleep apnea at all.

So all the symptoms he's got as far as nightmares,

the feeling of being choked, depression,

all this other stuff, it's not coming from any sleep disorder?

It doesn't seem like it's coming from obstructive sleep apnea.

Okay.

I'm seeing the dead girl again.

I don't think the living can sleep while she's around.

I think that they're aware enough that they know

that something really bad actually is happening.

I think they're like, "No," you know,

"that was just a dream," but they are fighting it.

They're fighting it.

Something weird's going on.

So I made my usual calls,

and this local historian reached out to tell me

the Native Americans got a raw deal in this city.

Listen, I hear that pretty much everywhere we go,

but she says this is different.

There were two major incidents,

and one of them involved the original owner

of Sal and Lina's property.

What can you tell me about the Native Americans

that inhabited the land here?

'Cause I know we're close to my clients' property.

Yeah, they were the Luiseños,

and they lived here hundreds of years

before the Spanish settlers came in the mid-1800s.

You mentioned on the phone there were two incidents

involving the Native Americans.

What's the first one?

Well, the first one is, the Luiseños had some horses,

and there were Spanish settlers called Californios

that came in and stole their horses.

Okay.

The Luiseños took the law into their own hands

and killed all 11 of the Californios,

along with a 13-year-old boy.

- Over horses? - Yes.

All right. So did the Californios get any revenge?

Yeah. They were furious.

So what they did is, they set up an ambush,

and from that, they massacred them all.

How many of these guys did they kill?

About 38 to 40.

All right. So that's a lot of bodies.

Did they just leave them there?

This is why I brought you here, because they had a mass grave,

and they buried them somewhere over here.

- By the shopping mall? - Yes.

All right. So did they at least dig up the bodies,

or did they just build over it?

They just built right over it.

There are a lot of dead people here,

just wandering the streets.

There were three or four places of burial,

and I think that all of these burial areas

were from different time periods,

like, 1600s, 1700s.

These areas where bodies were placed

that were just ignored and built upon,

and so they're not at rest,

and they haven't ever been at rest.

These dead people are kind of pissed about it.

They're not happy.

All right, Yvette, you mentioned on the phone

there was a second incident

that involved the original owner of my clients' property.

- Who was this guy? - His name was Juan Murrieta,

and they actually named this town after him.

Okay. He was born and raised in Spain,

and he arrived here in California in 1861.

Here is a picture of him when he was in his early 30s,

and then here's another photo when he was in his 80s.

All right. So what did he wind up doing with the property?

He ended up raising sheep on the property,

and he built this house on the property.

Okay. So you said there was an incident

with the Native Americans. What happened?

Murrieta's sheep were getting into the Luiseños lands

and eating up the crops and whatnot,

and so they got into an argument.

Okay. So what did Murrieta do?

Well, Murrieta decided to evict them,

and here is their decree right here.

Okay. So he throws them off the property?

How many?

- There were 200. - What happened after that?

They were living in squalor for at least 7 years,

and many of them were starving and dying.

So this guy Murrieta from the photo

looks like he lived a long time.

Yes, he died in 1936 at the age of 91.

- He died a rich man. - Guy's a real piece of work.

I'm seeing the angry old man again.

Do you have any idea who this person was in life?

He was not born in California,

so I think he does speak another language.

I think he did come from Mexico.

He was more than likely pretty poor,

and then he either came into money or made his own money,

and he's showing me animals that he had or something.

He thinks it's his house.

"These people need to go. This is my house.

Everybody stole it from me."

He's just going nuts.

He's crazy.

So far I have a family living in the middle

of a paranormal war zone

on a property where Native Americans were abused,

neglected, and killed.

But I want to see what else happened here.

Searching through old records,

I find an article about a young girl

who was brutally murdered in 1996.

Turns out the homicide took place less than a mile

from my clients' property.

All right, I called the cops about this homicide,

but they said they don't want to talk to me about it

because one of the suspects is still on the loose.

So I'm meeting with a true crime author who says this murder

was one of the most savage crimes

in Murrieta's history.

So, Aleida, thanks for helping me out with this case.

Before we get to the homicide,

what do we know about this victim?

Well, her name was Sophia Briseno.

She was only 13 years old.

She lived only about 900 feet from the property

that you're investigating,

and she had a boyfriend that she'd been secretly dating.

He was 17 years old.

His name was Crispin Solorio Garcia.

All right. So what happened?

Well, on February 12th of 1996, Garcia calls Sophia,

and he asked her to meet him at this local grocery store.

And so she meets him there,

and he is there with his friend, Francisco Ochoa.

Okay.

Well, they all went to a local cemetery,

which is a place that a lot of the kids would party at.

And I actually have a picture here of the cemetery.

- I mean, a cemetery, really? - A cemetery.

So, Aleida, how far is this cemetery from my clients' house?

It's only about 2,400 feet.

Okay. So they're there partying. How'd it go bad?

Well, Sophia started irritating Garcia.

He gets upset, and he tells her to shut up.

"Just shut up, or I'm gonna kill you."

At this point, Sophia doesn't stop.

She keeps going, and, according to the police, he tells Ochoa,

"Go to my truck and get some screwdrivers."

Garcia takes a screwdriver

and he just starts to viciously stab Sophia,

and as he's stabbing her, he shouts at her,

"Do you believe me now... that I'm gonna kill you?"

This dead girl is in so much pain.

Did you get anymore information on her life?

I know that she was young. She had black hair.

There's something with her jaw...

...with how she died. It hurts.

And then her back.

Okay. So this is a pretty savage attack.

I mean, when all is said and done, what was the damage?

Well, she was stabbed 64 times.

She was stabbed in the chest, in her face, in her jaw,

in her neck, in her head, in her back.

I mean, she was just stabbed everywhere.

And I actually have her death certificate here.

These guys are animals. I mean, real savages.

- Absolutely. - What do they do next?

Well, they just leave her body there to rot, out in the open.

The day before Sophia's body is actually found,

they flee to Mexico.

I know one guy was apprehended. What happened?

So in 2007, the FBI locates Garcia.

He's extradited back to the United States

and then he stands trial for her murder.

This is actually his mug shot.

He is convicted of first-degree murder

and sentenced to 25 years to life.

He is incarcerated in California.

And what about Ochoa?

Well, Ochoa has never been caught.

He's still out there.

All I know about this dead chick

is that she definitely was murdered.

It was fairly recently.

When would you say then?

I would say maybe the 1970s, 1980s,

could be even closer than that.

Was her body literally, literally here?

She doesn't know. So she died in the ground?

So she's showing me she's in the ground, right?

Now she's looking at her body.

She's naked.

Her hair is all wet, caked with mud, you know?

And she's looking at herself, and then she's lifting up,

and she's in the house.

And that's the last she remembers.

There is a lot of activity in this house,

but one of the things I'm really worried about

is the pathway of dead in one of the bedrooms.

The dead that I saw, they were translucent.

They did have, like, little wispy arms.

And they were all over the place.

Amy, is this what you saw?

Yes.

Now that Amy and I have completed our investigations,

we're ready to reveal our findings to each other

and our clients for the first time

Well, Amy, you're looking across at a family in crisis.

This is Sal.

This is his wife, Lina, and their son, Allen.

They also have two other daughters.

This is Mei, who is 20, and this is Emily, who is 15.

Now everyone is having experiences, but Sal and Emily

are getting the worst of it.

They brought us in to stop whatever's here

before someone gets hurt,

and so they can go back to being a loving and caring family.

So now that Amy knows a little bit about you guys,

I'll ask her to describe her walk for us.

When I got here,

I saw these little things.

They kind of looked like a cross between a lizard and a gremlin.

There was about 12 of 'em.

They have little tails and little horns.

What these things are, are, like, low-level demons.

The things that they can cause are, like,

feelings of depression,

feelings of being completely overwhelmed.

They also can make you feel like you're not succeeding in life.

Sal, why don't we start with you and talk about the anxiety,

the negative thoughts, the depression?

It's been, like, 4 years since this happening to me.

That makes me really sad.

That's where I'm getting all my anxiety and my depression.

The thing is, is that these things are summoned.

I got that someone practicing witchcraft

brought them here as a curse.

Now, Lina, do me a favor.

I want to you to tell Amy what you think, how this all started.

I suspect that Sal brought something home with him

on one occasion.

He had an acquaintance that was dealing

with some sort of witchcraft.

He started having nightmares that night,

woke up crying and just hysterical that night,

and that's the point in time where all of this started.

Now, is that what you think may have caused all this?

Yeah.

So do you think this guy put a curse on Sal?

Yeah.

I think that this person got offended

that you were judging him.

I'm not surprised.

Sal, don't talk to this other guy anymore.

- No. - I will not.

'Cause that guy needs a beat.

All right, so what else?

The next thing that I saw was this dead woman in that bedroom.

Okay. So that's Sal and Lina's bedroom.

I got that she was, like, keeping you awake at night,

not letting you have peaceful sleep.

I think she does cause nausea.

She also makes you feel very tired.

She's extremely draining.

I feel the feeling of drain, like you were explaining,

that I'm always exhausted.

I think that you've woken up and been, like,

feeling like you're having a heart attack.

Maybe you were trying to just be like,

"No, these are just nightmares,

and this isn't really happening," and, you know,

but it really is happening.

Everything you're describing is what Sal's going through.

Really?

Sal, do me a favor and describe

the nightmares that you're having.

When I was sleeping, this man attacked me.

I feel him, that he is on top of me, and then he's choking me,

and then he doesn't me-- to move at all.

I start crying.

It feels really horrible.

Now, when Sal told me what he was going through,

I thought it might have been sleep apnea,

so I called a local doctor,

who said that condition could cause those kinds of symptoms,

including depression.

So I had Sal tested.

The results came back,

and everything was negative.

You don't have sleep apnea, Sal.

Unfortunately, there's gotta be another explanation for it.

Any idea about this dead girl,

or who she was or anything like that?

I got that she was pretty young.

What I saw of her was that she was kind of, like,

a little bit caked in mud,

and she was nude, and that she had long dark hair.

Just, like, a lot of jaw pain,

and her back was excruciating pain.

I know that she was caught off guard.

She was definitely murdered.

I was getting, like, maybe it happened in the '70s or '80s,

or she might have been born in the '70s and '80s

'cause it could've happened even more recently.

A few things you said remind me

of a pretty gruesome homicide I came across.

Now the victim's name was Sophia Briseno.

She lived in Murrieta, about 900 feet from this house.

She was only 13.

She was secretly dating a boy named Crispin Solorio Garcia.

This kid was 17, and on February 12, 1996,

Garcia invited Sophia to meet with him

at a market in Murrieta.

Now Garcia was also with a friend

named Francisco Gonzalez Ochoa,

and then they headed to that nearby cemetery.

At the time, it was a place

where teenagers would hang out and party.

Sophia started to get on Garcia's nerves.

Garcia told her to shut up,

and she started making fun of him.

Next thing you know, Garcia got ahold of a screwdriver

and began stabbing her.

Now you said the girl was in pain in her jaw and her back.

Well, this bastard stabbed her 64 times...

My goodness.

...all around her face, her neck, her back.

Now he basically left her in the cemetery to rot

because they didn't find her for 6 days.

No.

The two of them then took off for Mexico.

Garcia was finally caught and extradited in 2007.

He's doing life now, and I got a mug shot of this psycho.

This is Garcia right here.

Unfortunately, Ochoa is still on the loose.

I feel horrible that that happened to her,

but I can't forgive her for what she's doing to my family.

I feel so much anger.

All right. So what else do we have?

I encountered an angry old man,

and I do believe that he is a big problem.

He kept claiming that this was his house,

and he wants to push the living out so he can be alone.

I know he can move objects around.

I felt like the living would more than likely see him

as a type of shadow person.

We see this shadow thing running from that living room,

straight through here, back in through the kitchen,

toward the pantry.

I saw him often in the middle bedroom, I think.

That's Allan's room.

I got that he was bothering a young male

between 15 and 21 years of age.

Allan's 21.

I saw the male laying on the bed,

and I saw him on top of that male,

and I did see the young male, like,

freaking out and struggling and trying to get away.

In the nightmares that I have,

I'll feel like I'm being moved in the dream,

only to find that I'm being waken up or shaken in real life.

So him feeling like somebody is actually shaking him

is actually happening? - Yes.

Who was he? Do you have any idea?

I got that he was in his 70s.

He was not born in the U.S.

I believe he was Mexican, but I wasn't sure.

I got that initially he was very poor

and that he either came into money

or he made his own money, and he's pissed off

because he felt like everybody stole from him.

I know that he had quite a few animals when he was alive,

but now he thinks that he owns this house

because he owned the land.

But things are confusing

'cause they're not exactly how they used to be.

I think I know who you're talking about.

His name was Juan Murrieta.

You know, they named the town after this guy.

Juan was born and raised in Spain, but he came here in 1861,

and he bought this property in 1873.

He lived here, but obviously in a different structure.

I actually have a photo of his house.

He came from a pretty modest background, this guy,

but he ended up making a lot of money

and he died pretty wealthy.

This guy was a real piece of work.

After he bought the land, he put sheep on here

and had them grazing.

Back then, the Native American tribe lived in the area, too,

and they were called the Luiseño.

So now he would let the sheep run rampant all over their land

and eat their crops, so they weren't too happy about it.

They got into it with Murrieta.

In 1875, Murrieta retaliated

by getting 200 of the Native Americans

kicked off the land.

Meanwhile, Murrieta did pretty good for himself.

He lived a long life, made a lot of money.

I actually managed to track down a few photos of this guy.

This is him when he's in his 30s, his 40s,

and then this is him in his 80s, right here in the middle.

So is it possible this is who you saw?

It is him.

Wow.

Pretty crazy walk so far. What else is going on?

Then I ended up in

the first door to the left down the hallway.

That's Emily's room.

That, to me, was the worst room in the house.

I got straight-up that she's a medium and very open.

So with that being said,

she is inadvertently attracting a lot of dead people

into her room through the window.

Lina, why don't you talk about how Emily's changed?

Emily has developed all of a sudden terrible anxiety,

depressive spells, nervous breakdowns.

She doesn't leave the house.

It's a completely new person.

Yeah, that breaks my heart in a million pieces

'cause I'd never seen her like that before.

It's, again, very similar to what my dad's going through,

but with Emily, it's so scary.

When you're growing up as a medium,

you do develop a lot of fear

'cause you've experienced a lot of death already.

She probably spontaneously opened

when all this stuff came in the house.

- You mean the curse? - Right.

Are these dead people literally coming through the window?

Okay. So I had a sketch done of what I saw happening.

Wow.

I- I honestly don't know what to think.

It breaks my heart, knowing that I can't step in front of her

and say, "I can take care of this one."

- And is that a shadow person? - No, no, no.

These things, they're older than man.

They've been here forever, and they come for the stars.

They're aliens, like, alien aliens.

I don't think the entire family has been abducted.

Okay. Who's been?

I think that specifically, probably the male line.

My god.

So Sal and Allan have been abducted?

I think that possibly that they are abductees, yes.

I- I don't know what to say.

I don't know who to worry about first.

Do I worry about me? Do I worry about my little sister?

Everyone has their own thing to deal with,

and I'm just trying to figure out,

who should I worry about first?

We knew there was something. We didn't know it was that much.

So you guys look shell-shocked

and I can't say that I blame you,

but it does explain why Sal has changed so much.

So now the big question is, what can you do

to have Emily go back to her old self

and make this a happy home again?

For that answer, I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.

So the first thing that I would like you to do

is take care of the curse.

My suggestion is to go and see a curandero.

What exactly is a curandero?

Native Americans, they would have a witch doctor,

and this is similar to that, but for Latin American cultures.

Once it's reversed,

those little guys will be gone.

All of that extra weight that you've been carrying around,

the intense depression,

all of these emotions and things

will just be gone.

So when he goes to get the curse removed,

will that get rid of the dead girl as well?

I'm really hoping that she'll go immediately.

And the next thing I would like to see

is that you have a male medium

come and move on the angry dead guy.

Okay.

As far as the alien issue,

there's really not anything that can be done about that.

There are support groups.

- What if they moved? - No.

No, no, no, no. It would follow them.

What I would like to see with Emily

is that I do think that she needs to see, like,

a psychotherapist.

They're amazing with treating PTSD,

which I think she does have.

So if Emily does what you told them to do,

she should be pretty much back to her old self?

Yeah.

You got good news.

Well, it's comforting to know that, you know,

at some point in time, she could be back to herself

and just have a normal teenage life.

That's all we'd want.

So, Sal, are you gonna take Amy's advice?

Yes. Definitely.

I appreciate her help.

The things that we are able to control,

we're definitely gonna -- we're gonna do what Amy is suggesting.

I think your family, as a whole, pretty strong and tight,

so if anybody can pull it off,

it's probably you guys.

Yeah, definitely.

This is, you know, what we needed,

somewhere to get started.

Even though there is little

this family can do about the aliens,

they should be able to break the curse

with a curandero

and move the angry dead guy on with a medium.

Once that's done, Emily can get the help she needs,

and this family can find the peace

they've been searching for.
