Original subtitles

It's very, very bad out here.

I feel, like, a knife in the gut.

I think it wants to kill us.

Something just ain't right with that house.

He did not die well.

They decided they would have a lynching party.

- Your life is in jeopardy. - You believe me now?

He says, "I'm gonna kill them."

That's his end goal.

Panic, panic, panic.

My name is Amy Allan.

I'm seeing, like, blood.

The house just feels bad.

I see dead people.

This man is completely insane.

I speak to dead people...

Whoo. Okay. She doesn't like it in there.

...and they speak to me.

He likes to twist that knife.

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

Something paranormal is trying to kill them.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve DiSchiavi.

I'm a retired New York City homicide detective.

Now does he die right there, on the spot?

I know every person, every house has secrets.

I think it's trying to steal my soul.

It's my job to reveal them.

You ever get touched like that again?

But Steve and I never speak...

We never communicate during an investigation.

...until the very end.

I'm as stunned as you guys are.

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

I don't want anything to happen to my daughter.

Or time to get out.

His goal is to kill you guys.

So, I'm out here in Jones, Alabama.

It's about an hour west of Montgomery.

I got a call from a woman named Kimberly.

She says the second she moved her elderly mom into the house,

all hell broke loose.

She says no one is safe

and literally begged us to come help her out.

Before Amy arrives,

I clear the area of any leading information.

This home has a lot of family photos

and unique personal items,

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

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

Jeez.

There's something here that was left to rot,

and it feels malicious.

Very, very, very bad out here.

Living people would feel fear,

and anytime they'd try to confront it,

it's, like, poof, gone.

Well, Kimberly, when we spoke on the phone

you could barely hold it together.

What the hell is going on here?

This is a house in darkness and despair.

Whatever is here is ruining our business.

It's destroying our livelihood.

- You guys run a business? - Yes.

- What's the story with that? - My brother Kenny and I

run a transmission business here on the property.

It's become very dangerous at the shop,

and Kenny's on the verge of leaving us,

walking away from this business.

Now is activity affecting things in the house, too?

- Yes. - Okay.

All right, so who all lives here?

My mother, Henrietta.

Okay.

My husband, Leo, and my brother, Kenny.

So as far as activity goes, what are you guys experiencing?

We've had banging noises, things moving on their own.

We've had things breaking for no apparent reason,

shadow figures and apparitions here,

and now it's physical attacks.

Things have gotten so bad here, Steve,

our family has started to refer to our house as "Hell House."

- Hell House? - Exactly.

You mentioned to me on the phone that stuff started happening

when you moved your mom in. - Yes.

All right, so what's the story there?

She's elderly and she's in the first stages

of Alzheimer's disease.

As soon as we brought her in,

things just got from bad to worse.

I don't think it's safe for her to be here,

or really any of us, for that matter.

So with this insane activity you've got here,

how is it affecting you?

I'm tired all the time. I have trouble sleeping.

What do you think is here?

I'm not sure, but my family has always said that we were cursed

because my grandfather was a moonshiner

and supposedly had killed someone.

I've been told that since I was a child.

You know, I'll make sure I look into that.

What do you think it wants?

I think it wants to kill us, Steve.

I can't take it anymore.

That's why we need your help.

No.

Something happened in here freaked somebody out,

living-wise, and it's a female.

Things are, like, falling.

Things are breaking or temporarily shutting down.

Something triggered spontaneous psychokinesis kind of episodes.

This person is going through something right now,

extreme stress.

It seems more, like, dormant abilities

that are suddenly coming out.

Okay, Kimberly, so what's going on in here?

Things move on their own here.

Okay, give me an example.

You can put something down, like a set of keys or a cellphone,

come back five minutes later, and it's gone.

- Okay, nobody's playing games? - No.

Anything else in this room?

We've also had shadow figures

walking through from this room to the hall.

I know you got animals. Are you sure it's not an animal?

The animals never come into this room.

- Is it a human form? - Yes.

Okay. All right, so you have quite a few things

going on in this room.

I feel like I'm dealing with all this negativity all alone,

all by myself.

It just feels like pure evil.

Living people here

would experience

seeing things

out of the corner of their eyes.

I see a young male standing by in dark shadows.

He has these things that are not human with him.

They look like tree limbs.

He says it took him a lot of years

to learn how to control these things.

What does he do to them?

He uses them to torture the living.

What's going on in here?

This is kind of the heart

of the worst negativity in the house.

We hear tapping on the windows all the time.

So do you ever investigate?

- Yes, we have. - And?

There's never anything there or anybody there.

Anything else?

I've had nightmares in this room,

and when I wake up, I feel like I can't breathe,

and it causes heart palpitations.

You take any medication that would cause side effects?

No, no medications whatsoever.

Anything else happen to you?

One time, I was held down in this bed.

It felt like two very strong hands

pressing down on my ankles.

From the waist down, I couldn't move.

Okay. And where was your husband?

On this side of the bed. He was asleep.

When I realized that it wasn't my husband,

that he was not touching me in any way, I screamed,

and he jumped up and turned the light on, and it released.

What do you think that was?

It wasn't anything nice. It was something evil.

That's the most terrifying thing that's happened to me.

You doing all right?

Not really.

It's very emotional.

I'm afraid for my mom.

Okay. I know.

I know. You all right?

I'm sorry.

I'm just frightened for her.

The man with the tree limbs likes this room.

Okay. I'm seeing I think what they're seeing, and it's creepy.

Okay, so this person is seeing this long, weird shape,

like, this lanky shadow man.

And I feel like the female in this bed sees him

and is, like, frozen.

It seems like they're struggling.

So I guess the trees paralyze that person,

then over there...

they're seeing the branches coming for them.

They're like hands.

They're going inside the person and, like, settling in organs.

I think they feel sick afterwards,

causing, like, illnesses that way.

But I think long-term,

it could turn into something like cancer.

They're scared.

What kind of threat does he pose?

Well, he just says, you know, "I'm gonna kill them."

That's his end goal.

So, Kenny, I was talking to your sister, and she says

you run the business here on the property.

Yes, sir. We do transmission work, yes, sir.

In her opinion, she doesn't feel it's safe

for anybody to be here. I mean, do you agree with that?

I agree 100% with her.

I'm just afraid that it's gonna hurt somebody.

So your sister mentioned to me that you're just getting ready

to get the hell out of here.

Yeah, I want to get out of that house.

What experiences can you tell me about, Kenny?

I was working on a truck out here.

First thing I did was crank it up,

and boom, both batteries just blew up.

Plastic, acid everywhere.

Okay, so do you know what caused it to explode?

No, sir. There was no battery charger hooked to it.

The battery cables were tight.

I thought it was gonna take the hood off.

I don't know if it's paranormal or not,

but you're the expert on cars.

- Right. - What do you think?

I've been in this business for over 40 years,

and I've never seen it happen.

- I think it was paranormal. - Okay.

All right, so you've had car batteries explode on you.

Anything else?

I was out in the backyard and I seen a wolf-like creature.

Okay, can you describe it for me?

6- foot tall, green, egg-shaped eyes.

It just walked from one tree to the next tree.

All right, you sure you weren't drinking?

I wasn't drinking, no, sir.

- All right, anything else? - I have attitude changes.

We can come in from a trip, be just as happy as can be,

and walk in that house, it will all fall apart.

The attitudes become evil, plumb evil.

That house has put something into you,

like, it's a hatred, dark side.

Anything else?

It drains all your energy.

It's like a battery. It just sucks all everything out of you.

Something just ain't right with that house up there.

I do believe it's trying to hurt us.

It can kill you or cause somebody to get killed.

Okay.

Getting an older man, this dead guy.

He's not a good person.

Mnh-mnh.

No, I don't like him.

He's, like, yelling at somebody down there.

Like, freaking out on someone.

So his anger, you can feel it. It goes right into you.

I think that the living would feel the anger.

He's moving things all the time.

Living people would put something someplace

and then, say, an hour later, come back

and it's, like, over there.

You know what I mean?

Not good. Mnh-mnh.

He might be a little bit more powerful than I thought.

I feel sick.

Just sucks energy. It just zaps people.

Anything that the living might experience within here?

You know, they walk in here with energy

and all of a sudden, it's gone,

and so feeling extremely lethargic, exhausted.

What kind of long-term effects might that have?

Their immune system would get pretty run down.

They could develop, like, bronchitis, pneumonias,

you know, things like that.

Leo, I was talking to your wife.

She doesn't feel it's safe to be in this house.

I mean, do you agree with that?

I believe it is dangerous for her.

- But not for you? - Not really.

So have you had experiences in the house?

- I have. - Okay, let's talk about them.

It seems anything electronic breaks.

Okay, so what kind of things are breaking?

Satellite boxes, printers, carpet shampooers.

What makes you think that has anything to do

with the paranormal?

If it was one thing or two things, but this is everything.

Okay, what else?

I have seen a black shadow

walking through the hallway,

right out of the corner of my eye.

How big do you think this thing was?

About this high.

When I turned to look, nothing was there.

You may not be taking this seriously enough.

Your wife is scared of her own house.

Is it a strain on your marriage?

Definitely. It's stressful. I love her. I can't lose her.

Her safety has got to be the most important thing.

I do love the house, but I love my wife more.

It's not good back here. I see people fighting.

How many people are involved?

Like, 20 to 30.

They're so damn solid,

so I think that the living people

would see shadow people out here.

They're very angry and upset.

They don't want living people out there.

How might the living be affected by them?

They create bad luck, mechanically.

I see them messing with vehicles and electronic equipment.

I think living people would feel the anxiety,

absolutely, out here, horrible anxiety.

I feel vertigo. I feel dizzy. I feel sick.

Emotionally, they would feel threatened,

they would feel fear, anger, not -- not safe.

Now usually, my clients don't have a clue

what's haunting their house,

but Kimberly thinks it could be her own family's dark past.

So I had a retired detective look into

her grandfather's case for me,

and he confirmed there was a homicide.

He said what started as a family disagreement

ended in bloodshed and heartache.

So, Shannon, I know my client's grandfather

was involved in a homicide somehow.

What the hell happened?

Well, your client's grandfather, Daniel Lockhart,

was the perpetrator of a homicide.

I've got a couple of photos of Dan Lockhart here.

On the afternoon of October the 20th of 1934,

Dan was driving along

in the area of Billingsley, Alabama,

when his cousin, Cicero Arnold Johnson,

passes him in the road.

They wave each other down,

and they're on the side of the road

and they get into an altercation.

So what the hell happened?

Dan called Cicero a derogatory name,

and the fight is on.

Some point, Dan pulls out a knife

and slashes Cicero several times

and cuts Cicero pretty severely on his arms and in his torso,

catches him in his stomach, cuts an artery,

and Cicero dies on the operating table.

Here's an Alabama death certificate for Cicero.

Do we know what prompted him calling him names

or what started this fight? Well, we don't know exactly.

There is some rumor that both of these men

might have been involved in the moonshine business.

All right, it's a pretty cut and dry case.

Does he get caught and convicted?

He's sentenced to five years and he actually serves four.

It sounds like it was a pretty lenient sentencing.

Yes. Do we ever hear from this guy again?

Apparently, he leads a pretty quiet life

and he passes away in 1976 at the age of 81.

There's some dead guy back up in here.

He did not die well.

He's white.

And he's trapped and can't get out.

And I feel, like, being stabbed in the gut.

Stabbed in my left shoulder. Lots of pain on the left side.

So sick.

My lordy. Brutal.

So as soon as I got to town, I dug through the deeds.

Turns out Kimberly's property was part

of one of the biggest slave plantations

in the state of Alabama.

I'm heading over to meet with an historian

who says the owner was a ruthless man

who let nothing stand in the way of his own greed.

Now you mentioned on the phone

the guy that owned my client's property was driven by greed.

What can you tell me about this guy?

His name was Jabez Curry.

Here's a picture of him right there.

He came from Georgia to Alabama in 1823.

He's 27 years old.

And your client's land was in a parcel

that he bought beginning in 1829.

He eventually owned 2,800 acres.

What he was looking for was to establish a cotton empire.

How much was he worth in today's time?

In 1860, the census reports him

as having a wealth of $340,000.

That's worth $9.5 to $10 million today.

- Okay. - He was very successful,

but he couldn't get that cotton crop in

except on the back of slaves.

Now do we have any idea how many slaves he owned

while he was on my client's property?

By 1860, he had over 155.

Wow. I mean, that's incredible.

I've done a lot of these cases

with a lot of the history regarding slaves,

and people that had three and four slaves

were considered wealthy.

I'm seeing the shadow guy with the tree limbs again.

Do you get anything on who he was in life?

I get that he's more Southern.

He's young, wealthy.

When this guy was alive, he was into something dark.

There's a lot of land involved with this.

He's, like, babbling about, like,

collecting what's his and just talking about owning --

owning everybody, like, families,

and he says he owns everyone.

So, Doc, I know the slaves were treated pretty horribly.

I mean, is this guy any different from anybody else?

Probably not.

What we know about Jabez Curry comes from two letters

he wrote to his son in June of 1862.

He describes a drought,

and his supply lines were constricted

because of a Civil War battle nearby.

What Curry did was to cut his slaves to half meat rations.

What about his family? Did they take half-rations?

They did not go on half-rations themselves.

Without them getting fed,

how are they going to work so that he can make money?

That's why he left them on half-rations

instead of cutting rations entirely.

Okay, so he was driven by greed.

- This is 1862. - Right.

Now, we know the war didn't go well for the South.

What happens to Curry's slaves?

The slaves were emancipated.

It appears that many of Curry's slaves stayed on the plantation

and worked for him as sharecroppers.

So how did this sharecropping work out for the slaves?

It was a system that no one was ever happy with.

Sharecroppers would sign

an annual contract with the landowner.

Sharecroppers were then indebted to the landowner

and could not leave until they paid their debt.

- So they were slaves still. - Basically, yeah.

Whatever happens with Curry?

He died in January of 1871.

He was about 72 years old,

and we're unsure of what he died from.

Okay.

Out here, I get a lot of death and violence.

Very, very bad out here. I'm hearing men yelling.

It's those dead guys who are always fighting outside.

And they're just wearing, like, a little grass skirt,

and they have spears.

It looks tribal, more like African.

They're kind of still fighting,

and it feels like no one really won.

Do you have any idea when this was?

1830s or 1840s?

Some dude is like,

"This is the moment of our discontent.

This is the moment of our death."

So far, I've got a client claiming paranormal activity

is ruining her business and her family's life,

on a property once owned by a man

who had over 155 slaves.

But I need to see if there's anything else.

Searching through old records, I come across Alexander McQueen,

who used to own Kim's land back in the late 1800s.

It turns out McQueen was involved

in a lynching of a local black man during his time there.

So I'm headed over to meet a local author

who says this was a classic case of mob rule,

and this poor guy's death could have been stopped

if it hadn't been for the previous owner

of Kimberly's property.

Well, Dr. Bailey, thanks for meeting with me.

I appreciate that.

What were the circumstances that led up to the lynching?

Wednesday night, November the 2nd, 1898.

Mrs. R.L. Strider

is about to retire for the night.

She notices someone underneath her bed.

She screams, and her screaming gets to the attention

of her husband, Mr. R.L. Strider,

who just happens to be the Justice of the Peace.

Okay, so he's the local judge in town. Yes.

Mr. R.L. Strider rushes into the room and fires two shots

and misses the person.

He goes out and rouses

all of these whites in the neighborhood.

They form a little posse to go out and find somebody black.

Okay, so the wife must have said it was a black guy.

She did, so they just find the first black guy,

who happens to be John Williams,

and he becomes the culprit because of his color.

- This is mind-boggling. - It really is.

The next morning, Williams is brought before R.L. Strider,

who's the Justice of the Peace,

also the husband of Mrs. R.L. Strider.

There's no evidence at all that this guy's even on the scene.

He's brought before the judge in town,

and his wife is the actual complainant.

Yes. How is that not a conflict of interest?

That's a major conflict of interest.

Okay, so I'm assuming he's found guilty.

He gets convicted swiftly.

R.L. Strider turns him over to the constable,

who's Alexander McQueen.

At the time, McQueen owned a property

that you're investigating.

And McQueen is supposed to transport him

to the jail in Prattville.

So McQueen has Williams in custody at this point,

and he's taking him to jail in Prattville.

But I know he never makes it. So what happened?

Well, in route to Prattville, McQueen is overtaken by a mob.

They find the nearest tree

and decide they would have a lynching party.

In the process, John Williams loses his life.

Here's an article about that lynching.

Wow. It sounds like the only guy

that could have stopped this lynching

was the guy that owned my client's property.

Okay, is there a chance

that McQueen went after the lynch mob?

No, he did not. No charges were ever filed

against any of the parties involved.

No one in the state did anything to ensure

that justice was given to the family of John Williams.

I'm seeing a male out here.

Late teens, early 20s.

It's nighttime, and he's...

close to nude.

And I'm being arrested.

I'm handcuffed and they're beating me.

And then I black out.

And then when I wake up, I'm rolling down an embankment.

His body is too broken

and his hands were still tied.

Not handcuffed. Now they're tied behind his back.

And he dies.

I saw several horrifying things during my walk,

but the man with the tree limbs has me very concerned.

First, I'm going to have him sketched as he appeared in life.

He had a very square chin and jawline.

His face goes up and it's pretty thin.

His eyes were pretty large.

Next, I descried him attacking living people.

In the bed is a man and a woman.

And in his hand, he's holding tree branches,

and then two of them are going into her nose.

The living guy, he's paralyzed.

Amy, is this what you saw?

Yes, that's what I saw.

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.

Amy, I'd like you to meet Kimberly and her husband Leo.

They live here with Kimberly's brother, Kenny,

right here, and her mother, Henrietta.

Kimberly called us in

because she doesn't think it's safe for anyone to be here.

As a matter of fact,

she's convinced whatever is here is trying to kill somebody.

So now that Amy knows who you guys are,

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

When I got here, I went into the kitchen

and I saw something strange.

I saw objects were moving on their own,

but the thing to note here is that was not a dead person

causing that.

It was actually a living female,

and this person has latent PK ability,

which is the ability to affect your surroundings

without touching anything,

but it's not something that's done in a conscious way.

It's brought on by a stressful event.

Kimberly's mom is actually in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

She's in stage one.

Now she moved in about a year ago.

Things just got much worse, to the point where we --

I fear for her safety, and all of us actually.

I'm just stressed. I can't sleep. I can't eat.

It's been getting worse for a year.

So the stuff Amy's talking about in the kitchen,

where stuff goes flying and falling,

does that mean anything to you?

Yes, it does.

We've had refrigerator magnets fly off the refrigerator.

So, I mean, do you think it's Kimberly or her mom

that's got the PK ability?

I think it's Kimberly.

So then I'm going down the stairs

and I see this dead guy, and he was on the older side.

This person was not good.

He feels like living people are invading his space.

And I think that living people who are exposed to him,

one of the things --

one of the traits they would take on is anger.

The other thing he does

is that he will move things downstairs often.

Like, so you put something down

and then you'll find it in some random location.

We've had things move, like cellphones,

flashlights, car keys.

- Books. - House keys.

The things that concern me more

is that he does drain people's energy.

They walk in here with energy and all of a sudden, it's gone.

Their immune system would get pretty run down.

You know, they could develop, like, bronchitis,

pneumonias, you know, things like that.

I kind of think I'm coming down with something right now.

Okay.

I've had a cough for a while now.

He gets pneumonia every year. So do I, like clockwork.

That's really bad.

Now are all of these experiences from this old guy?

Yeah, all of that is due to him.

- You believe me now? - Yes.

I tried to tell you.

When I was in the backyard,

there was a larger group of deceased males.

They seemed tribal. They don't want you here.

And they do everything they can to try to fight the living.

I saw them messing with the cars out back.

So I think maybe some of your mechanical things

would have issues.

Kimberly runs a transmission shop

with her brother Kenny right here on the property.

Do me a favor. Tell Amy what happened to Kenny

when he was working on the truck back there.

Not just one battery exploded, he had two explode.

The odds of that are pretty, you know, pretty out there.

- Explode? - Exploded. Yeah, literally.

That was the turning point for him.

That's when he said, "I can't do this."

It's a good thing he wasn't near the hood because...

Yes, he would have died.

- Now, Leo, you told me... - Wow.

...about every damn thing in the house not working.

I've been through three printers.

I had a Shop-Vac burned up last week.

Three refrigerators. Two sets of washers and dryers.

I mean, they are actively doing things to try to create

as much bad luck as possible

and trying to get you to leave.

It's working.

And everything they're doing, though,

is to try to harm you mentally, emotionally,

and they will go after you physically.

You would feel stress, panic,

fear in that your life is in jeopardy.

Now did you get anything on these guys in life?

Yes. There's a lot of them.

I mean, I could only figure out about 50,

but I knew there was more.

And they were dressed extremely odd.

I thought initially Native American.

So then I thought maybe African.

They're very protective of the land.

They're fighting to protect it.

Something I came across in my research

that might help make sense of what you saw,

which is this property

used to be part of one of the biggest slave plantations

in the state of Alabama.

The guy that owned this place had over 155 slaves

on the plantation.

Obviously, the work conditions were awful.

There was mistreatment and beatings.

And when the Civil War hit,

the guy that owned all of these slaves

actually cut their food rations

because of the supply lines being cut off.

They were constantly fighting for survival.

I would have never imagined this.

Okay, anything else?

So the next person that I encountered

is this very powerful deceased male,

and he concerns me a lot.

This guy is wicked bad.

He was very wealthy.

I felt like he came from old Southern money.

He was a con man, a liar, and a cheat.

And he kept yelling about collecting what was his.

He made it clear that he owned everybody here, living and dead.

So the guy that owned this place when it was a plantation

was a guy by the name of Jabez Curry.

Now you said the guy was a real Southerner.

This guy comes from Georgia in 1823

and he basically built a cotton empire.

He owned 2,800 acres, including your property.

And he owned it for over 40 years.

Now you said the guy thinks he owns everybody

and basically everything. - Yes.

Well, here's a list of 155 slaves

that this guy owned on your property.

Now you mentioned the guy was a cheat.

So after the Civil War ended,

Curry wound up having to hire his slaves as sharecroppers.

They were basically independent contractors for him,

but all Curry cared about was his own wealth

and he basically stiffed everybody

when it came time to pay them.

Curry died in 1871 at the age of 73.

Now I don't have a picture of what he looked like

when he was young,

but I got a portrait of him later on.

Now could Jabez Curry be the guy you're talking about?

I had a sketch done of the individual that I saw.

That nose is pretty prominent.

Makes me nauseous.

Definitely the same person at different times in their life.

Looks like the same person to me.

Do you think it's the same guy?

Yes.

So what kind of experiences would they have with this guy?

He's very powerful.

When I saw him initially, he had these two dark shadows with him,

and they looked like tree limbs.

But they're not a tree at all. They're entities.

And he's able to control these things.

And so I thought, you know,

the living here will see these things

out of the corner of their eyes constantly.

Leo, you mentioned the shadows that you see all the time.

- Yes. - Tell Amy about that.

I would walk down the hallway

and I would see it out of the corner of my eye,

either in one corner or down the stairs.

He utilizes these entities to basically torture living people

and get what he's after.

What I saw was him messing with both of the living people

in the master bedroom.

The tree limbs cause a state of paralysis

so that you wouldn't be able to move.

He's got them so they're going up your nose,

into your throat, down into your body,

and this negative energy is affecting your organs.

Upon waking or later on,

you would feel sick from the experience.

Well, you can obviously see how upset Kimberly is.

Couple of things you talked about

actually affected her directly.

I have nightmares, but I can't remember the nightmares.

Whenever I wake up, I have trouble breathing

and it feels like a weight on my chest,

and heart palpitations.

Okay.

She's also felt like something held her down in bed.

Something was holding my legs down, painfully.

And then Leo switched the light on,

and when he switched the light on, it releases.

Okay. He's always in the shadows.

I had a sketch done of what I saw happening

in the master bedroom.

This is the stuff of my nightmares.

I feel like I'm in danger.

Some nights I feel like, when I go to sleep here,

I won't wake up.

He poses a very serious threat to your health.

Specifically over the long-term,

this could cause serious illness,

things like gallstones,

bladder stones, kidney infections,

and then going into possible cancers.

He wants to kill everybody in the house

and make them, you know, his slaves.

Right now, he's focused on you.

I'm just so worn out and tired from all of it.

And maybe that's his plan -- wear you down,

make you sick, kill you. - Yeah.

It's so far above anything I could have ever thought.

I'm terrified for her.

And who's to say that this guy's not gonna

go after your mother next?

I mean, she's depending on me. She's helpless.

It's something I can't protect her from.

I just don't want anything to happen to my mother.

Kimberly, I'm really glad I took this case

'cause after listening to what Amy had to say,

it's clear nobody is safe in this house.

Now it's time to find out if you can do anything to fight back

and protect your family.

Now for that, I'm gonna turn it over to Amy.

I feel like you could stay here,

but it's going to take a lot of work.

First, you need to move on the group of dead men

in the backyard.

What I would like to have happen

is for you to have a hoodoo practitioner come out

and do the guided death process with them

and then to assist them to move on.

And the hoodoo practitioner that you hire

needs to have African ancestors.

So let's give them a proper, peaceful death passage...

Definitely.

...by someone that respects them and they respect.

Okay.

The second thing is the slave owner, Jabez.

For him, I would like you to have a voodoo priest come.

They'll be able to confront him and banish him from here.

Then that same individual can easily deal with

the old guy in the basement.

All right, what about Kimberly's abilities?

Anything she should do about that?

For you, to deal with your stress,

I want you to take 30 minutes a day

and I want you to practice tai chi,

'cause that's gonna help you to align your chakras.

It's gonna help you balance out that energy.

You know, Amy, one other thing.

Kimberly was worried her dead grandfather

had cursed the house. Did you get anything on that?

No, I think he's moved on.

So if Kimberly does all this stuff,

will it be safe for her mom to stay here?

Yes.

It's what we want. That's what we need.

It's a lot of work, but I've seen a lot worse.

So I'm gonna ask you, Kimberly. you gonna take Amy's advice?

I'm gonna do exactly what Amy says.

We can do this.

- Leo? - Yes, definitely.

I've gotta have her safe.

It's a lot to digest, but this gives us a lot of hope

there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you both very much.

I hope Kimberly finds a hoodoo practitioner

to move on the dead in the backyard,

and a voodoo priest to banish the slave owner

and the old man in the basement.

If she does that and practices tai chi,

she can balance her energy

and lead a safe and peaceful life.
