(eerie music)

- Hello?

- [Officer] Hello, Eve?

This is the Chicago police.

We regret to inform you that your mother

has been in a serious car accident,

and unfortunately, she didn't make it.

Hello?

Eve?

(heavy breathing) (dramatic music)

(Eve sobbing)

- [Brad] Hello, Eve, we just heard about your mom.

The office sends their condolences.

I hope you're doing okay,

let us know when you'll be coming back,

and if there's anything we can do here for you, okay?

(dramatic piano music)

- [Dad] Eve, you can hate me, but you're still my daughter,

therefore still my responsibility,

so let's at least act civilly.

What you said at the funeral was uncalled for.

I'm not trying to make up for my mistakes,

but that money is yours for whatever you need.

(dramatic piano music)

(cell phone buzzes)

(airplane flies overhead)

(eerie music)

(glass breaks)

(bottles clanging)

(ominous music)

(Eve shrieking)

(lawnmower mowing)

- Yeah.

Why are you calling me?

- [Brad] I can't imagine the pain you are going through,

but you can't miss any more work.

- Brad, what do you want?

- [Brad] I just want to make sure everything is all right.

(chuckles)

- Everything is all right.

Well, it's not.

My mother's gone.

She's gone. (siren blaring)

- [Brad] I'm coming over.

(coughs)

- No, you're not.

- [Brad] Come on, we're worried about you here.

When are you coming back?

- Since when does everybody worry about me at work?

- [Brad] What are you talking about?

Everyone misses you here.

Without you, this place just isn't the same.

Let me come visit you and see how you're doing.

Maybe I can cheer you up.

- Fine.

But only if you bring more wine.

- [Brad] Okay.

What time?

(eerie music)

(doorbell rings)

- It's open.

- Geez, is it laundry day?

- Did you bring the wine?

- You can't keep living like this,

hiding from the world.

- I can't?

If Trump can be president,

I'm feeling pretty good about my odds.

- For someone who's hiding from the world,

you seem obsessed with something.

- No, I'm not.

- Okay.

Well...

When are you coming back to work?

Or do you not care about your job anymore?

- I don't know right now, Brad.

But that bottle's not gonna open itself.

- Corkscrew isn't here.

- Try the kitchen.

- Found it!

So, what are you obsessing over?

- It's nothing.

- Come on.

You can tell me.

- You're gonna think I've completely lost it.

(chuckles)

- Well...

Judging by how you're living...

I'd say you're not far from it.

Try me.

(wine pours)

Actually, I was expecting a lot worse.

This might be a good idea.

- Really?

- I mean, it's a little out there.

- I have to contact her.

I feel like it's the only way I can get closure.

- Then I think we should explore this,

if you think it'll help.

- You're being serious, right?

You're not just fucking with me?

- I'm being serious.

- Good.

'Cause I was planning on trying

all of this by myself.

- Okay.

I'll help.

But promise me you'll get it together

and come back to the world.

- Deal.

- Feeling paranormally curious?

(eerie music)

- It's not working.

Here, help me, help me.

- Sure.

- Okay.

Just think of my mom.

- Okay. - Okay.

(mysterious music)

This isn't working, it's not working.

Okay, okay, fine.

(ominous music)

- [Brad] What does that mean?

- Nothing good.

It can't be right, it's...

That's not my mom.

I could see if maybe we should try calling someone.

I don't know, here, hold that one.

- [Woman] Your third eye is open.

What is it you seek?

- Hello, my name is Eve,

and I was looking to talk to someone

who could help me contact my mother?

- [Woman] Please hold.

Evelyn?

- Hi, hi.

- [Woman] You wish to speak to your mother?

- Yeah.

- [Woman] Visualize your mother.

- Okay.

- [Woman] I think we're getting something.

Yes, we're getting her name.

Her name was Maria.

- No, that's not her name.

That's not her name.

This is bullshit!

Nothing's working.

- Well, a deal's a deal.

- I know.

There's just gotta be something we haven't tried yet.

Come on, think!

- How about praying?

- Listen.

I know you're just here to help,

but she was the most important person in my life.

- I know how important this is to you,

but maybe this is the wrong way.

Have you considered talking to a professional,

maybe a therapist-

- Therapy can't help me!

All they do is prescribe me antidepressants

which make me numb and drowsy.

I lost my mother without even saying goodbye,

and she was the most important person to me.

The last time I saw her...

(Eve sobs)

- I'm here for you.

(dramatic music)

- When I close my eyes, I can see her in my dreams.

She's trying to tell me something.

It's just whenever she opens her mouth,

I can't make out what she's trying to say.

And she's so sad.

That's why I drink.

Just so I can pass out so I can see her again.

The pills stop me from dreaming.

So I don't take them anymore.

- Drinking isn't the answer.

We'll find a way to reach out to her, I promise.

- I need to know what she's saying.

Thank you.

I really appreciate you being here.

Not a lot of people would stick through

all of this craziness.

Wait, wait, wait.

What's that?

- I looked up "talking to ghosts".

- Ghost Box.

Have you ever heard of that?

- Not unless we're talking about "Ghostbusters".

- Play the first video.

- Hey guys, this is Zach, Zach Puff, Puff Paranormal.

Thanks for tuning in, thanks for watching my videos,

and thanks for subscribing.

Now, I know it's been a couple of weeks

since I last posted on YouTube,

but I got a really cool one for you today.

For those just tuning in,

allow me to explain just exactly what a Ghost Box is

and what it does.

The Ghost Box sweeps through all radio frequencies

and emits them.

When spirits are present,

they will manipulate these audio fragments to communicate.

Today, I wanted to share with you

some amazing class A EVP's.

I walked out to my house,

and as I was coming through, I got this feeling.

As I got close to the door, I heard a word via EVP,

the word "Jesus".

And as I got closer to the door,

I heard that same voice, same name.

Masey or Macy.

When I slowed it down, it was a male's voice saying,

"Macy wants to be an incubus."

(eerie music)

Now, an incubus is a sexual demon of some kind,

but he didn't say "Macy is an incubus,"

rather "Macy wants to be an incubus."

Later that night I wanted into the house,

and a growly voice said-

- Brad.

I think you found it.

- Mm, I don't know.

Let's watch the rest before making any decisions.

- I had a lot of people, well, not a lot,

I had a few people tell me that,

"Oh, I have a demon in my house,

this demon's gonna ruin my life."

And I just want to say, I don't believe that whatsoever.

But whatever it is, does not hold any power over me.

I fear none of this whatsoever.

And the people that do fear it and try this,

are the ones that freak themselves out so bad

that when they go to bed at night, and turn off the lights,

and hear any noise,

they instantly think that there is a demon.

- I don't know, it seems kinda sketchy.

- Brad, he's been doing it for 7 years.

Either he's a really good bullshitter or it's real.

- Let's hope it's the latter.

- I ask people for evidence,

and they tell me to read the Bible.

That's not evidence, my friends.

I want to see hardcore proof from a realist,

and I do these sessions as experiments.

I want to see what's out there.

I want to see what I could record,

I want to see what I could feel, what I could see.

I've seen what I've conversed with

on three different occasions.

Anyways, I'm alive, well, and happy.

I couldn't be happier.

So this demon in this house

is doing a pretty bad job of doing a demon.

Again, every EVP, every session is 100% real.

I never have, never will fake any evidence.

- I'm buying it.

- What if it's a scam?

- I don't care, don't you see?

It's so obvious!

My mother's been trying to contact me.

What if she's lost, or confused,

or she's stuck somewhere?

- Yeah, but this guy?

(whimsical music)

- Ordered it.

It should be here in a couple of days.

(Brad sighs)

- Ooh.

You know, it's gettin' late.

I should probably leave.

I'll see you at work tomorrow.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Okay.

(doorbell rings)

- Hi. - Thank you.

- Here's your box.

(ominous music)

- It's here.

Wine.

(ominous music)

- So, it says these rods help you locate water.

- Let me see.

- Maybe we set it up wrong.

- Ugh, no, it's fine.

Look, I found a video of a guy

who got the same type of Ghost Box.

- [Man] I got the best results using my headphones

and then slowing it down on recordings.

My best EVPs happen when my mind is clear and relaxed.

Concentrate on the person you're trying to contact,

try to think of their memories and visualize them.

Then I ask simple questions,

and listen for closely spaced responses.

Once I make contact, I ask for a specific name,

and if they are not present,

then I ask if anyone's seen who I'm trying to contact.

- That seems pretty straightforward.

So, this thing picks up spirits around us.

Your mom should be around, right?

- She's here.

I know she is.

She has to be.

Hand me that picture, please.

- Hey, listen.

If this doesn't work-

- It's going to work.

Pick up the rods.

Mom?

Are you here?

It's me, it's Eve.

Mom, please!

Mom, please say something.

- Eve.

- Anything?

- [Brad] Eve.

- Mom?

Mom?

- [Mom] Sweet daughter.

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I was angry with you,

and that I didn't answer any of your calls.

Then you disappeared, and I never got the chance

to tell you how much-

- [Mom] Evie.

- I love you.

- [Mom] I forgive you.

- When you died, I was so scared, I was alone.

I needed you, and you weren't there!

- [Mom] With you.

- Why did you have to leave?

It's not fair, it wasn't your time,

you had so much left to do!

I know you wanted to plan my wedding,

and how much you wanted grandkids.

I feel so lost without you.

- [Mom] Always love you.

- I miss you.

I miss your voice, your laughter,

I miss everything.

- I don't believe this.

- [Mom] Evie, find treasure.

- Treasure?

- [Mom] Clue.

- Like when I was a kid?

- [Mom] Picture.

- Which one?

- [Mom] Rods.

- Brad, use the rods to find the treasure.

- What treasure?

- She left me something in one of the pictures

in the hallway, come on.

(wondrous music)

Mom, I found it.

Hold this.

(melancholic music)

(Eve sobs)

- Eve?

Eve.

Are you okay?

What's going on?

- [Mom] Goodbye.

- Wait, Mom, no!

Mom, don't go!

Mom, come back, please!

- What just happened, Eve?

- It was my mom.

- Are you sure?

- We both just heard her, Brad.

(eerie music)

Mom, are you there?

- I heard "goodbye".

- Talk to me.

- Maybe she found peace and moved on.

- You don't believe I was talking to my mom, do you?

- I guess.

I don't know what to think.

- Do you believe me or don't you?

- I'm not entirely convinced.

I mean, I didn't hear anything,

and you had the headphones on.

- What about the letter?

How do you explain that?

- I don't know how to explain that.

- You found the God damn letter, Brad.

- Look.

Whatever this was, I just...

I don't know what to think right now.

- Well, I think you should leave.

- It's getting late anyway.

I should probably go.

(ominous music)

- Talk to me!

Please, I don't want to feel alone.

(ominous music)

(Eve coughs)

(dramatic violin music)

(airplane flies overhead)

Mom?

Mom?

Mom, please.

(ominous music)

Mom.

Why won't you come back to me?

Please come back.

I know you're there.

Please, Mom.

I need you.

Why won't you come back?

Just answer me!

I don't want to be alone anymore.

- [Mom] Daughter.

- Mom, are you here?

- [Mom] With you.

- Oh, Mom.

The letter.

I'm so sorry.

Please, don't go away again.

We can still talk.

- [Mom] With you.

- Please don't leave this time.

Without you I feel so alone.

Ever since dad left,

you've been everything.

Now I don't know how to handle losing you.

My heart is broken.

- [Mom] I'm here.

Daddy is here.

- Mom?

- [Mom] Yes?

- Dad's still alive.

He was at your funeral, what do you mean?

(eerie music)

Who are you?

Who are you?

(dramatic music) (electricity sparks)

(street light flickers)

(door creaks)

(tense music)

(sink running)

(radio static)

(lights flickering)

(dramatic music)

- Brad.

Please, can you come over right now?

Please?

- [Brad] Is everything okay?

- I don't know what's happening to me.

I need your help.

- [Brad] What's going on?

You sound scared.

- I can't explain it.

Could you please just come over right now?

- [Brad] I'll be right there.

- Brad.

- What happened in here?

How'd the mirror break?

- You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

At first, I thought I was losing my mind

until I saw this.

- Okay, so...

You broke the mirror.

Why?

- I was pushed into it.

Didn't you see the shadowy figure?

There's more, look.

(ominous music)

- That's fucked up, that can't be real.

- It is, look.

What am I supposed to do?

- Why is this happening?

Did you use the Ghost Box again?

- Yeah.

And someone or something talked back

pretending to be my mom, but it wasn't.

- [Brad] What do you think it is?

- I don't know.

But I feel like something is out to get me,

it wants to hurt me.

I'm so scared, Brad.

- What if I stayed the night?

I can crash on the couch in the other room.

- Would you?

- Whatever this thing is,

I won't let it get to you.

- Thank you.

That means a lot to me.

(eerie music)

Here's your pillow and your blanket.

- Thank you.

- I'm just gonna go take a shower.

(ominous music)

(shower runs) (humming)

(ominous music)

Um...

Are you okay?

Do you need anything?

Water?

- Yeah, water.

I mean, no, I'm thirsty.

I mean I'm not thirsty.

I'm fine, thanks.

- Okay.

Well, let me know if you need anything.

I'll be in my bedroom.

Goodnight, Brad.

- I'll be right here.

Goodnight, Eve.

(ominous music)

- Once spirits are present,

they will manipulate these audio fragments

to communicate with the box.

(eerie whispering)

The Ghost Box sweeps through all radio frequencies...

(eerie whispering)

- I think we should explore this.

(ominous music)

(mysterious music)

(knocking)

- Brad, is that you?

(eerie music) (doorknob turns)

Brad, did you need something?

Brad?

Brad, it's happening, wake up now, please!

(ominous music)

- What's going on, are you okay?

- Was that you?

- I woke up and heard you call my name.

- Did you not hear that noise?

- No, I didn't hear anything.

- The loud bang on my door?

- No, I didn't hear anything.

- Maybe I am going crazy, maybe I'm losing it.

- You're not crazy.

- I can feel it getting closer to me,

and I don't know what's gonna happen.

- Look at me!

We're gonna get through this, okay?

- I'm just so scared.

Can you please stay with me tonight?

I just don't want to be alone.

- I'll be right next to you.

- Thank you.

- Let's just get some sleep.

(ominous music)

- Thank you for being here.

- I'm happy I could help.

(ominous music)

(eerie whispering)

- Brad, what are you doing?

Did you hear something?

- [Brad] Everything is fine.

- What are you talking about?

- Everything is going to be okay.

- [Eve] What do you mean?

- Just trust me.

- Okay.

But-

- Relax.

I have everything under control.

(ominous music)

- Brad.

I- - Hush.

Hush now.

You are safe with me.

Let me help you relax

and bring you back from the abyss.

- Brad, why are you so good to me?

- Because, because...

You're so special.

(ominous music)

(Eve moans)

- Good morning.

I didn't expect last night to be so eventful.

- Last night?

Did something happen?

(chuckling)

- Don't play stupid.

- [Brad] Eve, I was sleeping.

Did I miss something?

- Yeah, we had sex.

- No, we didn't.

Trust me, I would remember something like that.

- How can you seriously tell me

that you don't remember having sex?

- Where's my shirt?

(dramatic music)

- Hello, everyone.

Zach Puff here, Puff Paranormal.

I'm making this video as a statement

with some explanation.

I'm taking a very long break from the paranormal.

Especially doing any kind of communication.

There's a lot of crazy stuff happening right now,

and it's taken a whole week for it to calm down.

So I'm gonna do some meditation, a lot of prayer,

and a lot of soul searching.

Today I'm having the house blessed,

my animals blessed, and some items blessed.

I no longer have any communication devices anymore.

I smashed my Ghost Box with a sledgehammer

as a form of therapy.

I have other things in life I need to focus on,

like love, family, happiness,

and work that actually pays the bills.

This work never paid the bills.

I spent a fortune, a small fortune

over the course of 7 years doing this work.

And it's never been about the money.

Well, it has been about the money,

but it's been about me spending money.

Now, the Ghost Box held ideas to me

that something unexpected happened

and it changed the whole dynamic, I felt it.

And I knew something was trying to manipulate me,

it was very powerful.

When Mike came by to help out,

we did some sessions

and dredged up a lot of activity here.

And up until last night it's been intense,

it's been evil, it's been horrific.

My wife was attacked, it scared the hell out of me.

And it's just something I've never experienced before.

These attacks just keep escalating.

Something I was totally unprepared for.

And I don't want to go back to that dark place.

The Bible prohibits it,

and if I've exposed tens, hundreds of thousands

of people to this, then so be it, judge me.

I've seen hell.

I've conversed with the devil.

Physically I've described it to many of you.

And I've felt love, I've felt peace and harmony

wash over me in these dark moments.

Anyways, I leave these videos

in the wake of what I've done, my testament.

And it is possible to talk to the devil.

And the people that said they have,

they don't know, you don't know, even I don't know.

It's all theory.

So that's that.

If you hate me, I love you.

Much respect to all of you.

I will be back, you can't just rip me out

and throw me away.

I will be back in the future.

Take care.

- [Man] All right.

(ominous music)
