Holzer: What do you see?

♪♪

♪♪

This is hans holzer,
new york city.

Hans holzer, london, England.

Hans holzer in switzerland.

Now going up the stairs
in the old house.

Please speak to us.

Get out!

It is not your house anymore.

You died.

♪♪

You must go away
from this house.

Woman #1: No, no, no!

What is it that you want?

Woman #2: I want it.

Where is it?

[ typewriter clacking ]

♪♪

It is where it belongs.

What was that?

This is hans' investigation
into the ayers-allen house

In metuchen, new jersey.

I've never heard of it.

Well,
not a lot of people have.

My father was the only one
to investigate it,

And I only know about it because
he talked about it all the time,

And it nagged him
until the day he died.

The house was built
by jonathan ayers in 1740,

And it was passed on
through his family

Until it was purchased
by a local schoolteacher

Named louise king
and her husband,

Samuel, in 1947.

Louise was hearing mysterious
knocking all around the house.

Then she started waking up
night after night

With a full body apparition
standing over her bed

Just staring at her,

And then it would
disappear into thin air,

And this went on
and on and on.

What did hans find
when he investigated?

Well, he went there
on March 6th, 1960,

Along with his trance medium,
ethel meyers,

And they did
a seance there.

Do we have more tape on that?

We do.

That's it?

Unfortunately.

What did hans make of that?

He wrote that there were layers
of hauntings

Still active in the house
from its long history,

But he also believed that
there was something dark there,

Something that was influencing
the other spirits.

Well, alex, your dad used to go
in and clear the spirits.

Did he do that
on this investigation?

No. The king family
would not allow it.

Wait a minute.
Why would they invite him in

And then stop him from
completing the investigation?

Well, he never found out.

Well, who lives there now?

It's the reuter family.

Are they aware
of this dark haunting?

Yeah, I spoke with them.

They've been experiencing
paranormal activity in the home

Ever since they moved in,
in 1998.

Really?
Yeah.

In my opinion, they have this
unusual attachment to the house.

The whole family does.

Unfortunately, this sounds
like mrs. King.

I mean, she found out
that the haunting was there

And didn't want it cleared.

I think we need to meet
with the reuter family.

They're less than
an hour from here.

I'll give them a call.

♪♪

This is a strange one.

Why would mrs. King reach out
to hans holzer for help

And then refuse
to let him cleanse the house?

Now almost 60 years later,

I'm hoping that tyreen reuter
and her family

Will accept our help so that
we can continue the work

That hans
never got to finish.

Tyreen,
thank you for seeing me.

Tyreen:
Thank you for coming.

The house is almost
300 years old?
Yes.

It was built in 1740,
has a lot of history

And also has a reputation
for being haunted.

I can't tell you how many people

I've met that have bought
a house known to be haunted

Because they thought
it would be fun.

Where do you want
to take me first?

The staircase.

It usually doesn't
turn out that way.

♪♪

We had just closed
on buying the house,

And I was working on
getting these all open.

They were painted shut.
Some of them were nailed shut.

I started to have a lot
of negative feelings about,

"well, maybe this
was a mistake.

Maybe we shouldn't have
bought this house."

And suddenly, window flies
open, flies shut,

And my fingers are stuck
from the knuckle below.

I made the connection
that maybe I should be

A little bit more careful
about what I say

Or what kind of energy
I generate about the house.

So you have, and I don't mean
this impolitely,

But there's, like, this deep,
weird connection

Between you and the house.

We do what's better for the
house than necessarily for us.

♪♪

I was here alone
washing dishes,

And I heard very distinctly
the sound of marbles

Being poured
into a glass jar.

It was right about
in this area here.

There was nothing
that could explain it.

You obviously
now have a bottle

With marbles
sitting in that spot.

These marbles that we found
throughout the house

Over the last 21 years
we've collected and...

Oh, wait a minute.

So these marbles
are marbles

You've found
throughout the house?

Yes.

Where have you found
the marbles?

Everywhere.
Every single room.

Would you being doing something
and all of a sudden

There was a marble,
and it hadn't been there

The day or week
or month before?

Not that we'd seen, no.

And in fact, the last couple
of weeks, we found a couple.

Residual energy
could explain the sound

Of marbles
rattling in a jar,

But you can't account
for dozens of them

Appearing out of nowhere.

It feels like someone
or something

Is trying to get
tyreen's attention.

I never really
feel alone here,

And the change in me since
moving here is very distinct.

I'm not the same person
that I was.

I have no desire to ever
leave this house.

Sounds a lot like the family
that hans holzer came to visit.

Yes.

Mrs. King and mr. King,
samuel and louise.

Mrs. King lived here
for many years.

She was known to be
protective of the ghost.

She died here in 1997
in my bedroom,

The same place
where I sleep every night,

And then we bought
the house.

There's a lot going on.

Now I have got original notes
from hans holzer.

I also have an audio recording
that was made

In this house
59 years ago...
Oh.

...When hans holzer and ethel,
the medium that he worked with,

Held a seance
in the living room.

I want to play you a clip
that's going to sound

Very odd at first,
but I have a reason, okay?

Okay.

Now when I came
into this room with you,

I was smacked right between
the eyes with something.

Hanging on your wall, you have
four mugs and one small mug.

That's crazy.

When I hung those mugs there,
I just thought it felt right.

Makes me kind of wonder
what guided me to do that.

This is tying together
many of hans' theories

That these hauntings
are happening

Past, present, future,
all at the same time.

Ethel was looking through
the window from 1960

To now to give us
something to connect with

So that we're all together
in the same experience.

I'd like to do a more extensive
investigation of this house.

That would be fine.

I would say to you
what mrs. King said

To mr. Holzer, which is
you're welcome to come in,

But please be careful
of my ghost.

Tyreen obviously has
a very powerful attachment

To this house.

She protects it and whoever
or whatever is still inside

Just like mrs. King did,
and as hans holzer always said,

There's no such thing
as coincidence.

We're dealing with residual
energy, potential apportation

And maybe even remote viewing
from over 50 years ago.

So tonight we'll conduct
a baseline investigation,

And our psychic medium, cindy,

Will give her
initial impressions

On what's going on here.

Pittman: I'm going to take
the digital recorder.

I also have the
motion-capture camera.

She knows absolutely nothing
about hans' investigation here.

It's going to be really
interesting to see

What she picks up on.

That makes no sense to her right

Ethel also picked up on
the tree and the hangings.

♪♪

I smell, like, pipe tobacco.

It feels more connected
to native american tradition.

This is almost identical
to what ethel picked up

Nearly 60 years ago.

♪♪

Okay. Hold on.

There's a woman
standing right here,

And she's wearing an apron.

I feel like she spends
a lot of time here.

She just hangs out in the house.

She must have lived here.

Schrader: Cindy could be seeing
the former owner, mrs. King.

He's reading a newspaper.

I feel like he used
to live here.

I don't like the way I feel
in this room.

It just...

I feel like there
have been things

That have happened in this room
where beds are shaking,

Or things are moving,
or it just feels like

There's a lot of activity
right in this space.

♪♪

And, you know,
there's another woman that --

This is going to sound
so crazy. Okay.

I feel like she's younger,
and she's beautiful,

But she's not actually
a woman.

I feel like she's
a shape-shifter,

So people see her, and they
become entranced by her,

And then she turns
into something really evil.

It's a negative force.

Schrader: Cindy is talking
about shape-shifting,

Something maybe manipulating
the people in this house.

Could it be this energy
takes on different forms

For different people?

We're going to have to get
more information

To line
some of this up, but...

There's so much
going on in there.

What the [bleep]?

Did you just see that?
No.

It looked like a face just went
straight into those curtains.

Shane,
replay that camera angle.

Whoa, [bleep]!
Whoa!

I'm telling you, that's, like,
a face hitting that thing!

Whoa!

Holy crap.

That looked like someone just
face-planted into the curtain.

That was crazy.

Look at that.

♪♪

I have no idea
what could've caused that.

I tried to debunk it.

What kind of...

But I couldn't even come close
to recreating

What we saw
on the monitor.

♪♪

I want to look a little
deeper into this home.

I'm going to go meet with
a local historian to see

If I can put some
of these puzzle pieces together.

This native american angle
that cindy picked up on,

That ethel picked up on too,

How is that connected
to what's going on here?

Moran:
The predominant native american
tribe was the lenni-lenape.

Legend is that two indians
were hanged

From the tree
in the backyard

For the kidnapping
of a 10-year-old boy.

Schrader: Why can't I find
any record of it?

It was a forerunner
to lynchings

Where it's not something
you really documented,

And they were said
to be hanged unjustly.

Here's something interesting.

Ethel meyers,
the medium who had

Come to originally investigate
that home along

With hans holzer,
did a seance.

Mm-hmm.
I'd like to see what
your thoughts are on this.

Ethel says...

"who took your boy?"
hans asks.

Ethel responds with...

Now native americans were known
to lay curses on land.

Yes.

What can you tell me
about that with this tribe?

Much more recent, there was
a curse put on a piece of land

Because there was a highway

Being built through
a sacred property,

And the local indians warned the
state not to build the highway,

And they did,
and there have been

Horrific car accidents
ever since.

Really?

♪♪

And there are sometimes
apparitions of native americans

Seen alongside the road
still to this day.

This is big.

Not only are
native american curses

A legend here in metuchen,
they're still very much alive.

During our baseline
investigation last night,

Cindy felt something dark
and powerful in the kids' room.

I don't like the way
I feel in this room.

I need to speak to tyreen's kids

To see if they've ever
witnessed anything odd.

Schrader:
I heard you had a pretty
unique experience here.

Nick: Yes.

I was downstairs
playing games,

And I heard footsteps
from upstairs.

And then I heard
someone call my name.

My brother was drawing,

And my mom was
on her computer working,

And none of them
called my name.

after that.

How did it call you?

Sam: It was just laying down
on this bed.

I saw an, like, older lady
just in the room.

She had,
like, white hair.

I thought it was one
of my mom's friends,

So I called her
to come up,

And when she came up here,
there was nobody in here.

And when you called
your mom,

Do you remember what happened
to the woman in that time?

When she got up here,
they were just gone.

Like, I didn't notice them
disappear,

We were here having lunch,

Making us a cup of tea.

I went to walk into the kitchen

And I heard the marble
across the floor.

And tyreen sees me
on my hands and knees,

And she says,
"what are you doing?"

I said, "oh, I'm looking for
the marble that I kicked."

And she said, "oh,
you know about the marbles?"

And had you been told
about these marbles

That just appear here?

No.

They just seem to appear,

appear out of nowhere.

Have you ever noticed,
I mean, just how attached

To this house
tyreen is?

Tyreen is completely
attached to this house.

I don't know if it's just
the history of it

Or if it's something that's
making her feel more attached.

I'm not really sure.

Knowing that the former owners
are still here

And are being seen,
felt,

Do you ever have concerns
for your friend

That her soul may be put here
or left here as well?

I believe
that maybe it will be.

This is where she belongs.

♪♪

Tyreen is not the first one

To feel a strange attachment
to the home.

The kings reportedly experienced
the same thing

But wouldn't let hans holzer
come back to cleanse it,

And my question still is, why?

Schrader:
There is a remarkable ability.

This house seems to have
a hold on these people.

Did your father have
any specific theories

Regarding spirit attachments
to specific structures

Or native american
curses at all?

Absolutely.

It's a very
interesting case

Because you are dealing with
the land and its own history,

And then here comes this house
in 1740 right on top of that.

My father would want
to find out,

What is the main source that is
driving this energy today

After all these years?

Who or what
is creating that?

Of our investigation

this home in over 60 years

Since hans holzer
was here.

Over two nights
of investigating here,

We had a lot
of strange phenomena,

And this might be some of
the most bizarre I've ever seen.

Shane and I were performing

What we call a spirit-box
session in your dining room.

[ item clatters ]

What the [bleep]?

Shane and I moved
into the kitchen,

And this is what we found
laying on the floor.

♪♪

My mother gave this to me
when we moved here.

But how did this get
in the kitchen?

Where was it located?

In the dining room
in the cabinet

On the left there where
we keep all of our...

- In the cabinet?
- Yeah. In the drawer.

- In the drawer?
- In the drawers, yeah.

This amount of physical activity
is insane.

♪♪

I want to play you some
evps we captured.

It's not audible
to the ear,

But the recorder is
sensitive enough to pick it up.

Schrader:
But the spirits that are here
that are more unwelcoming,

What can we do
to help them leave this home?

As you can hear, it's pretty
loudly telling me to get out.

[ floor creaking ]

Did you just hear that?

It was, like, upstairs,
that direction...

Right.
...The green room.

That's not a coincidence.

That's the gateway.

That's where all of these
energies and spirits

Are coming in.

We had one more piece
of audio evidence

That we'd like
to share with you.

Why are you here?

Now to me, it sounded
like a foreign language,

And I think what we've caught
here is a lenni-lenape word.

Ahasak means crows.

On the baseline-investigation
night,

I saw crows flying everywhere.

The crow is a very
important symbol

In native american culture.

They have the ability
to shift between past,

Present and future.

They're symbolic of this space
being an entryway

Between many different
dimensions all at the same time.

Like hans and ethel
before us found,

There are multiple layers
to this haunting

That are taking place,

Multiple timelines
that seem to be going on,

All of these energies in one
convergent spot, this house.

We believe that native americans
might have placed a curse

On this property
that traps souls here that

So far have lived in relative
peace with you and your family.

They're fine with me now.

What if something
were to change?

Exactly.

I don't know
that I would necessarily

Want to invite too much
to rile them up.

They asked you
to get out.

Which is why we're doing
as they ask.

We're leaving.

But if something does happen and
a force does make itself known,

Don't wait another 60 years
before you open the doors again.

Might be a good idea.

And to whoever reopens
this updated

Holzer file sometime
in the future,

Please tread carefully
and with respect to this home

Because once it gets
ahold of you,

It doesn't like to let go.
