Hans holzer in london,

Hans holzer in switzerland.

Now going up the stairs
in the old house.

Please speak to us.

Man: Get out!

This is not
your house anymore.

You've died.

♪♪

You must go away
from this house.

No, no, no!

What is it that you want?

My body, where is it?

♪♪

It is where it belongs.

Wow.

Fighting, murder, and direct
contact with a spirit?

Roth: Yeah. This was
sybil channeling

The spirit of
a colonial soldier.

Where were hans and sybil
when they recorded this?

This is hans' 1967 investigation
of the barnstable house,

Cape cod, massachusetts.

He was contacted in 1966
by the owner, leonard svenson.

He was operating a restaurant
in the building at the time.

According to the letters,
the family was seeing objects

Move on their own,
light anomalies,

And they saw the apparition of
a little girl up in their attic.

My father was about to go
to massachusetts,

And then mr. Svenson
unexpectedly sold his business

And moved out.

He just left?

Yep.
Mm-hmm.

Well, did hans contact
the new owner?

He didn't have to.

The new owner reached out
to hans

For help within months
of acquiring the property.

Same activity?

Moving objects,
light anomalies,

The exact same things
as the previous owner.

From the recording
we just heard,

It sounded like hans was helping
the spirit to cross over.

Do we know if that worked?

He believed so.

He never heard of any other
paranormal disturbances

After his investigation.

If it did stop,
it started back up again.

The building is currently
professional offices.

The owner, an attorney
named carrie strumski,

Claims that she personally
hasn't had any experience

With paranormal activity,
but her tenants, their clients,

Just about anybody
that sets foot in this building

Has some kind of run-in
with a presence.

Just not carrie.

Not that she's willing
to talk about.

Interesting.

Well, what do we know about the
history of the barnstable house?

It's one of the oldest buildings
in barnstable.

It was built in 1716
by james and thomas paine,

And through the centuries,
some of the oldest families

In the country
have lived there.

It's been everything
from a tavern to an inn

To the professional offices
that it is today.

With a history that long
and so varied,

It's gonna be really hard
to pinpoint

Where a haunting
like this starts.

Well, my father
always said

That the spirits want
to tell their stories.

We just need to listen.

Well, then,
that's where we'll start.

We'll do a preliminary
investigation,

And I'd like to meet
with carrie strumski, the owner.

There might be more to her story
than she's telling us.

I'll let her know
we're on our way.

Great.

♪♪

Hans spoke with two separate
owners of the barnstable house

Experiencing almost identical
paranormal activity.

Now, according to the file,
they saw full-body apparitions,

Shadow figures,

And the fireplace
spontaneously combusting.

And now, 50 years after hans
helped the restless spirit

Of a soldier move on,

People are experiencing
the same exact things.

Everyone except for
the owner, carrie,

But she was eager
to accept our help.

So she's opened the place
up to us

So we can start with
a baseline investigation.

Our psychic medium, cindy,
hasn't seen the files yet.

So along with our equipment
tech, shane,

She'll do a walk-through
of the building uninfluenced

By any of the stories
of the owners, past or present.

This is unbelievable.

When hans was here
with sybil leek

And the owners of this
establishment back in 1967,

They went into a room
and they were blinded

By a large flash of light.

They all saw this,
and then it was gone.

Cindy is picking up on this

If last night's baseline
was any indication,

Activity in the barnstable house
hasn't slowed down one bit,

And some of the things
that cindy sensed,

Like the dead child
and the ball of light,

They seem to jump right off
the pages of hans' file

From over 50 years ago.

Now, before we get
too much further,

I'm gonna sit down

With carrie strumski,
the owner of the house,

And get her take
on the situation.

Carrie, thank you very much
for giving us access

To the barnstable house.

You know, we're coming in off
of hans holzer's

Original investigation
from August of 1967.

Would you mind telling me
a little bit

About the history
of this place?

How did you
come to own it?

I've always been drawn
to this building.

I'm actually blood-related

To the original owner
of the house, james paine.

Oh, really?

Yeah, and I did not
learn that

Until long after
I had purchased this building.

And you've always felt
this connection to the house?

I have.

When hans and sybil leek
did their investigation,

They came upon
some very unusual activity.

It doesn't surprise me.

You've got 300 years of people
telling stories

About what they have witnessed,
what they've experienced.

A lot of the stories associated
with the barnstable house

Involve stories both in
the attic and in the basement.

Why do you think those two
points specifically

In this house
are such hotbeds of activity?

This house was built over
a running water source.

It was common, in colonial days,
to do that.

There's a legend about
a little girl named lucy

Drowning in the well
in the basement.

Really?

I just heard something
about drowning.

♪♪

Legend about the attic
is that there was a woman

Who lived in the house who was
married to a sea captain.

Her husband was out to sea,
and he never returned,

And the legend is that
she died

Waiting for him
on the third floor.

It's believed that she
was lucy's mother.

But even though it's legend
and lore,

People are having encounters
with a woman and a child spirit.

Yes.

One of the most infamous stories
relates to a fire

That was in this building
in the 1980s.

A fire broke out,
and there were firemen

Who reported witnessing a woman
in a white dress

Or a white gown on the third
floor attic in the window.

One of the firemen
went up to rescue her,

Thinking she was trapped
in a burning building,

And then when he got
to the third floor,

There was no one there.

Have you personally
had an experience here?

♪♪

I wish I could say I did,

But as far as the reported
apparitions and activity,

I would have to say no.

♪♪

This is odd.

The barnstable house
has over a half-century

Of well-documented
hauntings.

Past owners have flat-out
fled the place,

But carrie hasn't felt a thing.

Her tenants and their visitors,
on the other hand,

They have plenty to talk about,

And they're encountering
something much more unwelcoming.

So I was in this room.

My mom has an office here.

So I come here to study.

We were alone in the house
at this point,

And I just got this feeling like
I was being watched.

I wasn't alone.

It was like a veil just, like,
came down.

I stepped out into this hallway
right here

To make sure
there was no one around,

And I see what is, like,
a perfect human shadow.

Couldn't even believe
what I was looking at.

I did get the feeling
that it was, like,

A more masculine energy
to it.

This felt like it knew
who I was,

And it was almost, like,
watching me, like, keeping tabs.

What do you believe
it was trying to tell you?

Watch your back,
that it owns this house.

This is its house.

Get out.

♪♪

If hans did help a spirit
move on,

There's no question that
something else is still here,

And it doesn't want company,

But why would this all be
happening here?

Hans believed
that a water source,

Such as the well
under the house,

Could be sort of
a paranormal battery,

But that doesn't explain
how aggressive this presence is,

And only with certain people.

There has to be something else.

I'm meeting up with
a local historian

Who could hopefully
shed some light

On the history
of this location.

This area was all
wampanoag territory,

And the colonials
forced them out.

How did they
force them out?

Often, violently.

The king granted the lands,

Even though they belonged
to the indians.

So they would give them
a paper saying,

"you don't
own this land."

And they would come in
with their soldiers

And force them out,

And if they didn't leave,
they get burnt out.

They would shoot them.

A lot of them were killed.

[ flies buzzing ]

Any strange stories surrendering
the paine family

That you're aware of?

There's a spirit
called lucy.

People that's worked there,
they used to say

That a little girl
is running about in the house.

So people have told you

That they've seen
the spirit of little lucy?

I've seen her myself.
You have?

I have, in 1985.

We went to the barnstable house
with a few other people.

We were up in the attic,
and suddenly, it got real cold.

Out of the corner of my eye,
I saw a flash.

You saw a flash of light?

Yes.

It looks like
a ball of light,

But it shoots
all over the place.

It was this white light, like,
hitting my eye,

And I looked over there.

Very distinctly remember
the door opening up.

[ door creaking ]

And there she was.

She was looking straight at me.
I was afraid to say anything.

I couldn't believe
what I had seen.

I just drained at first,

Because I was
so shocked.

Are there any known hangings
on the property at all?

Yes.

In 1777, shipping was
a very lucrative business.

Edmond hawes, he took it upon
itself to cash in the house,

The barnstable house,
because he was the owner,

Mortgaged everything
for continental currency,

Thinking he could make
a lot of money

On a transaction
down at the harbor

With the war coming out,

But just a short time
after that,

A law was passed
in the united states

That continental currency
was worthless,

And he went down to the docks
with that money

To make the exchange and was
told that it was no good.

He's pissed because

He should have
paid the price.

Why would you
want to stay?

This voice, we think, may be
the voice of edmond hawes.

Wow.

He mortgaged everything

And basically became
penniless overnight,

And that's what led him,
of course,

To commit suicide
on the tree in front.

♪♪

I don't know that he's ever
really left this place.

But you've never had
any negative

Experiences in this home,
correct?

I haven't, no.

It's possible that,

Because your ancestors
actually built this home,

The paines, maybe
you're protected in some way.

Maybe they're happy
that you're here,

And you're not having
these experiences.

Edmond hawes,
this was his home.

This was everything
to him,

But, of course, your bloodline
precedes that considerably.

I will tell you,
technically,

I am blood-related
to him, as well.

My genealogist...
Wow.

...Connected me to him,
as well.

You're related
to edmond hawes?

Yes.

Wow.

I mean, that's
a remarkable connection.

You were drawn here, and in you
purchasing this house,

You've essentially
returned this home

To edmond hawes
in his bloodline.

It was no coincidence that
you're one of the few people

Who hasn't had
a negative experience here.

I don't think that's
a coincidence.

♪♪

What do you make of all this,
carrie?

It doesn't surprise me that
you have compelling evidence.

The reason legends live on
for 300 years,

I think there's
a reason for that.

I think stories that aren't
true fade quickly.

Schrader: When hans holzer
first opened

The case file
on the barnstable house,

He and sybil found a vengeful
presence that rattled them both,

And there's no doubt
it's still there today.

♪♪

Did you hear it?
That was my name.

I'm gonna play the whole
thing again for you.

Pay particular attention
to the end.

♪♪

No.

But the missing piece
wasn't there for hans

To find 50 years ago --

A bloodline descendant
of edmond hawes.

Kaza: We're not telling you this
to scare you,

And we're not telling you
to avoid this house.

You just have to know
that the spirits here

Are aware of your presence.

And to be careful.

And this may not be
the last time

That you have an encounter
with the spirits in this house.

I don't doubt it.

Schrader:
Who knows what role we play

In the mysterious world
of the unseen?

I just hope that, when carrie

Passes the keys on
to the next owner,

They know the centuries-old
vendetta that comes along

With the barnstable house.
