Original subtitles

- We said, "is there a friendly spirit here?"

It said, "no."

- [Deep voice] Hey!

- Something odd was happening in the house.

- What have we done?

What have we done?

- It was, like, a long streak.

It had fire coming out of its back.

- This woman thinks she's seeing a ufo.

I mean, you could hear her nervousness.

- It's still moving.

- All of a sudden, everything electronic in my vehicle dies.

- 998, do you read me?

- Any unit who doesn't answer, that's a crisis.

- Do you read me?

- I really knew that I wasn't alone in that house anymore.

I was scared it was gonna hurt one of us.

- My hand goes right on my pistol.

- This is weird. Wait a minute.

Oh, my god. I ain't ready for this.

- It was unbelievable.

[Siren wailing]

[Police radio crackling]

- Do you want to head over to that area?

- I remember that night vividly.

It was a December night, and it was unusually warm

because I remember not wearing a jacket.

My first call was a domestic between a male and a female.

Usually when it's warmer, we seem to be busy.

And I had to fill out a report,

and so I had made plans with the other officers

to meet up and have a coffee.

I love being a cop.

I believe this is a calling for me.

This is what I was meant to do.

- I have been a police officer for 15 years.

- Hey, Roy Anne.

- When I worked at 911,

we dispatched for the greater portion of trumbull county.

It's a pretty vast area.

We would receive calls for emergency service,

and we would also dispatch police units.

I was expecting what we had every other night:

A little bit of traffic-related calls.

We're gonna have a few bar fights.

The calls that begin that night initially caught me off guard.

- Dispatch. May I help you?

- He was calm, but at the same time,

you could hear a nervousness.

He wasn't familiar with what he was seeing.

- Knowing that our jurisdiction

is quite in line with an air base,

my first reaction was, "oh, my gosh.

"What if there's something wrong with one of the aircrafts

or something in the area?"

But the tone in his voice doesn't reflect

he's watching a plane crash.

It's quite different.

- All right. Thank you.

- And I tell the other people, "okay, guys,

everybody grab your pens," you know,

"we're gonna have to get to work here now.

"Something odd's going on

"because this guy's seeing fire

"coming out of the back of a plane.

Are we gonna prepare for an airplane crash?"

There's a buzz now.

This isn't something you normally hear.

So while I am taking the first call,

I am alerted that there's another call.

- Liberty dispatch. Can I help you?

- It's a mother and daughter,

very excited about these lights they were seeing.

She more or less just tells me

the same thing the first guy says.

"I'm seeing lights in the sky."

- Right behind our backyard.

- They're not hearing any noise, and it just hovers.

That seems to be what really troubled her.

- It's just hovering there.

- They were very certain they were not looking at a plane.

- Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

- Now you think, "okay, this is kind of crazy."

It's caught the attention of all the other dispatchers,

and we're all kind of listening to everything.

- Roy Anne.

I got a reporter from 33.

- Oh, my god...

- The next call we received was from the media.

- Liberty dispatch. Can I help you?

- They were scanning all the police traffic.

What the heck am I gonna tell the media?

It was clear to me this woman thinks she's seeing a ufo.

I don't want to acknowledge this.

So I kind of gaff it off and make a joke.

[Laughter]

- I'm confirming, "yeah, we heard about the lights too,

"but there's no need to make this a panic.

We're not having war of the worlds here."

- Right after that, someone announces,

Liberty, you have another ufo call."

"Oh, gosh. Here we go again."

- Liberty dispatch.

- This is getting kooky.

- Okay, sorry... Lights in the sky?

- We're checking on it. Thank you.

- The thing that's remarkable is,

this is all going on in small, quiet street.

Samson drive's a nice residential area.

It's not a ton of crackpots.

At this point, there's too many calls just to sit on this

and make it my problem because I don't pass it along.

That night, officer meloro was working with me... Toby.

- Two, three times in the last...

- Toby and the other officers have kind of assembled

for an informal shift briefing.

- One of those two, every three months.

It's like clockwork.

- They normally stop for coffee, doughnut shop.

Very cliche.

- I know it's a cliche.

However, it was one of the only places that's open at night.

- Thanks.

- Toby and I had known each other for years.

And I think he's gonna be the one out of the group working

that will handle this the best.

I chose to use his cell phone and not the radio

because this is something not recorded.

If it makes me sound nutty, it's just between Toby and I.

- I remember, I had just picked up my coffee

and was putting it to my lips

when I received the call from the 911 center.

- 'Ello.

- I've known Roy Anne a long time.

- Hey, Roy Anne. What's up?

- I could tell usually by the voice

whether I need to jump up and run.

- This is gonna sound really crazy.

- This call, I didn't jump right away.

I took my time.

- I tell Toby over the phone,

"Toby, these people are calling about a ufo."

He says, "are you kidding me?"

And we just kind of chuckled about it.

- We get calls all the time from people

that are drunk, intoxicated,

people that don't have anything better to do.

- I said, "it's all Samson drive.

"It's all fifth Avenue extension.

"It's just that little area.

"Tell me you went there, tell me you saw nothing.

We'll be great."

- I swear to you, it's not a prank.

- I felt like I had to assure him.

You know, "this isn't a prank.

You need to go and check this out."

- Okay.

- It wasn't anything that I was in a rush to do.

- I'm gonna go take care of this.

- And I proceeded to tell the guys that I was sitting with,

"let me go get this over with."

- Keep an eye on my coffee.

- "And I'll be back in a couple minutes."

I took my time getting there.

I obeyed all the traffic.

No lights, no sirens, nothing like that.

I was thinking of two things.

Either people had been drinking,

or they were actually seeing some type of aircraft.

It was not a priority call.

- I contact the sergeant of the term.

He's the one who's gonna answer for all this later.

I said, "Bob, calls are coming in.

You've got to hear this."

- Bob even made a crack...

[Dial tone humming]

- It probably took me three, four minutes to get in the area.

As I was approaching,

I called in to get a little bit more information.

- 998 to dispatch. - 1080 good.

- As I turned on to Samson drive,

gentleman ran over to my car,

saying, "please stop, please stop."

He seemed frightened. He seemed upset.

- Big white light!

- I'm thinking that there's something major going on.

- The gentleman came over and flagged me down,

and he seems frightened.

I proceeded to roll down the window, and I ask him,

"sir, what's going on?"

- What's wrong?

- He hesitated.

He was, like, catching his breath.

He then proceeded to point up in the sky and say,

"this huge light was just over my house.

This light, I don't know what it was."

I looked at him kind of out of the corner of eye and said,

"uh, okay."

And then I leaned over to smell his breath

to see maybe he had been drinking...

- I don't know.

- Because he wasn't making a lot of sense.

- Went... whoom! Down the street.

- He was very insistent on what he saw,

and he wanted me to go check it out right away.

He believed that it was something that was serious.

- All right.

- I'm thinking if Toby just goes and sees a helicopter,

this'll be put to bed.

That is not what happened.

- I couldn't have been more than a couple hundred feet away

from where I'd stopped the individual.

I could see a light in the distance.

It was little bit away from me, and it was large.

So I proceeded to let Roy Anne know,

"you know what? There is some type of light."

- 998 to dispatch.

- Oh, no. You see a light now too.

- Oh, you're kidding me.

- Great. Great.

Now you're in with the whole hysteria of the thing.

- Okay, now, this is Toby. This is somebody we know.

And he's now seeing it, and he's adding to it.

So it kind of kicks it up a notch.

- At that point, it comes out of his mouth, "flying saucer,"

and this is over the radio, so I thought,

"oh, this is gonna be where everybody joins in."

And he goes on and tells me,

"look, I'm trying to get closer to it."

- What do you mean, you're trying to get closer to it?

- What's going on?

- I thought maybe it's some type of aircraft.

- So I call the air base.

- The gentleman was very cordial, very nonchalant.

I, on the other hand, was sort of embarrassed.

- I wanted an answer,

and he was very kind about it, but he was very nonchalant,

and, "no," just kind of brushed it off.

- I was gonna try to get to the light as quickly as possible.

Just wanted to get this over with.

I wanted to say that this is the aircraft

that this gentleman saw and go finish my coffee.

I went down the street

probably another quarter of a mile.

All of a sudden...

Everything electronic in my vehicle dies.

I'm going, "what is going on here?"

And I start turning my ignition

to try to start the car back up.

I've never encountered anything like this before

where a car just stops.

It was a mechanical failure and an electronic failure.

The whole car failed.

I remember bending over and checking my portable radio,

trying to click it to see if that was working.

But that wasn't working either.

When you have no ability to contact the 911 center,

you're out there by yourself.

- I called for him over the radio.

- 998? Come in, 998.

- Toby typically would always pick right up.

- 998. Come in, 998.

- He didn't respond right away, so you call his number again.

- 998. Come in, 998.

- No response.

- 998, do you read me? Come in.

- My sergeant, at that point, he's listening,

and, "okay, why isn't he answering?"

- Toby, do you read me?

- He didn't respond again.

Any unit who doesn't answer, that's a crisis.

So we start directing the units towards his location.

- Head over to Samson drive.

We've got an officer not responding.

- This went from playful and fun...

"Ha-ha, lights over Liberty. Oh, yeah, little green men,"

and now it's getting more concerning.

- I'm holding on to the steering wheel

after I tried to restart the car.

A huge light hits my vehicle.

Huge light.

It's like it encompassed the street.

I'm going, "what... what is going on here?"

I'm thinking to myself, "I need to exit the vehicle."

I open the car door...

My hand goes right on my pistol.

There's a double lot that's wooded,

and the object was hovering directly over that wooded lot.

It's huge.

It was unbelievable.

- The light was so intense.

I had to shield my eyes so I could look towards it.

It's almost like you're looking up at the sun

on a sunny, bright day,

and you get those spots in your eyes.

There was a structure there,

but it was so bright, so intense,

there was no way of saying exactly what it was.

I would say it was the size of a football field,

100 yards.

It's huge.

It was unbelievable.

I'm saying, "could this be a helicopter

with huge lights on it?"

However, there was no sound.

All right, it can't be a helicopter.

It's not any type of aircraft

because it's hovering over the tree line.

What can this be?

As I'm standing there, the object begins to move off,

and I began to see somewhat of a shape of the object.

[Siren chirrups]

[Engine turns over]

Then I look, and my car is running again.

- 998 998, come in.

- I can hear my radio kick back on.

- 998, do you read me? Come in.

- I could hear my call sign, 998, being called by Roy Anne.

And you could hear concern in her voice

as she's, you know, trying to get ahold of me.

- There was radio feedback, and all of a sudden,

Toby comes back on.

- What do you mean, you have to collect your thoughts?

You had us worried about you.

You have to collect your thoughts?

We're the ones who worried about you.

- So even though I'm happy to hear from him,

I'm a little annoyed.

We don't need any added drama.

What is this? Are you playing around with me?

- I just needed a few minutes to collect my thoughts.

I was overwhelmed.

What happened to me didn't make a lot of sense.

I'm saying to myself, "what the hell?"

I don't want to put that I saw a frickin' ufo over the area,

and they think I'm crazy or something.

What I wanted to do is call Roy Anne,

let her know what exactly I saw.

I chose to use the phone.

I didn't want to put information out on the radio

so people think that I'm nuts.

- 998.

- Toby. Go ahead.

- I'm okay. I'm back in service.

- He calls in, and we have a conversation over the phone,

and I said, you know, "what's going on?"

- The ufo. I saw it.

- Did you really?

- Like, "okay, Toby. Don't."

- I used the words "ufo, unidentified flying object"

'cause I had no idea what this was.

- This is pretty far-fetched.

I really wanted to feel better

when I told you to go check this.

I don't feel any better.

- I was not joking one minute about what I saw.

I told her, "Roy, I'm being honest with you.

"This is what I saw.

I know it's unbelievable."

You could hear her voice come down,

so she kept on asking me questions,

what the object looked like,

what colors I saw,

what it was doing,

what direction it was heading in.

- And I understand that he's had a huge experience.

But while he's processing that, the radio started buzzing.

- Liberty dispatch. Go ahead.

- Different officers who were listening over the open channels

started commenting on

they're seeing lights in the sky.

- Five miles away, they're seeing it.

- And then five miles in another direction.

- All the way up into the northern areas of our county.

[Sirens wailing]

- I jumped in my car,

activated my lights and sirens.

I was going like it was a priority call.

The object was heading south,

and it looked like it was going extremely fast.

I'm trying to catch up and cut through side streets.

However, I'm in a residential area.

I was trying to find a direct line.

I was cutting through every street that I could come across.

I shouldn't say how fast I was going.

I was exceeding the speed limit.

I could hear other police trying to catch up to it.

- You could hear everybody talking about it.

"Where do you see it? Where is it now?

Where it's going?"

- The 911 center was holding calls

because everybody was consumed chasing this object.

- These are sergeants and seasoned veterans.

They were all excited about this.

- The room was buzzing.

- Brookfield had an officer.

He climbed up an old radio tower.

He was getting really vivid, vivid accounts

of the colors, of the shapes.

- He was really emphatic.

- I told Roy Anne, "you call the air base,

"and you let them know

that we want to know what the hell's going on."

- So I called back to the air base.

- Yes, ma'am.

- And I say, "now we have people that are miles and miles

"and miles and miles apart.

"They can see it.

Surely you see something, right?"

- And I'm thinking, "I don't understand this."

- I don't understand why they're denying seeing that.

Doesn't make sense.

There's multiple jurisdictions,

multiple police departments,

multiple citizens seeing this,

and I feel like they're giving us a lot of bull.

All right, I want to know what's going on.

- We're in a basement. [Laughs]

I'm... all I'm getting is all the excitement

of everyone else who can experience this.

I want to see it too.

I got on the phone with another officer.

He said, "I'll come get you."

I wasn't supposed to be there.

He wasn't supposed to take me.

But I'm so wanting to see what everybody else is seeing.

We get on 82, and we could see the lights.

- I could see it off in the distance,

but there was no way that I could get underneath it

and get a clear look at what it was.

- We stopped the car.

We get out on the side of the road,

and he takes a pair of binoculars,

and he takes the first look.

I see something hanging from the bottom,

like, it's suspended, and a red light on it.

- That is really weird.

- What sticks with me even now was that it was just still.

- Do you see that?

- Why am I not hearing it?

Why is it not moving?

And then all of a sudden...

It just shoots off.

No noise. Just pshew.

- I'm just thinking to myself,

"what the heck just happened?"

- We just kind of, like, looked at each other like,

"did... you did see that, right?"

It was intense, just that, "oh, wow.

I've never seen anything move like that."

- I was angry.

I wanted to catch it.

I wanted to see what it was.

I just took a minute.

I just wanted to separate myself for a moment from everything

and just reflect on what just happened.

- I have no idea what it was.

It was nothing that I'd ever seen or experienced.

- Hiya, Randall. - Hey.

- I get teased endlessly.

The other officers in this got teased...

Endlessly.

- Everybody denied seeing anything

or knowing anything about anything going on that night.

But I felt there was nothing wrong with what happened.

This was something that was unexplainable.

This was something that happened in a town that I live in.

It's the truth.

I mean, I can't tell you what it was.

I know what it wasn't.

I know planes. I know helicopters.

I know weather balloons. I know planets.

God, if this thing was a planet,

I would have got a suntan from it,

how close I was to it.

It's one of those things that just baffles you.

- In my mind, I want to think that it was something

related to that air base.

There's no resolution with anything else.

[Laughs] I like resolution.

- I never believed in any type of ufos and that sort of thing.

I still don't, but I see myself saying to myself,

"it's possible now."

That's where I'm at with it.

- I am originally from Australia.

I moved to the states in June of 2000.

I have a son, Zac, from a previous marriage,

and I met Mike through a friend.

I think you could say it was love at first sight, yep.

- We've now been together for almost seven, eight years.

- We'll get around to it.

- It was early 2008

that a friend brought up about the ouija board.

She told me, you know,

she had contacted different spirits,

and basically, it works.

I was definitely curious and also skeptical.

So we decided to purchase our own board.

I think part of the motivation of getting on the board

was being able to get in contact with family.

And we were just, like, amazed when it started to work for us.

- Sometimes we might go on the board

maybe two or three times a day.

- It kind of sucks you in.

- I didn't care for it much

because they kind of really got into, like, believing it.

- You guys aren't really messing around with that board again?

- They would ask it questions like,

"oh, when will I get pregnant?"

They really took everything it said seriously.

- I'd read that it can be dangerous.

You don't know what you're calling forward,

that sort of thing.

But I think once you find

that you're getting these questions answered correctly

time and time again,

your skepticism's gone.

You truly do believe.

So for about a month we'd been using the board,

having a good time with it.

- You ready? - Yeah.

- Then one day, um, we said,

"is there any friendly spirit here

who would like to come forth and communicate with us?"

And it said, "no."

- The room felt different.

- Something weird going on.

- We both noticed it, like, right away.

And we said, "who is this?"

- It spells out "v-o-x."

- Vox.

What are we dealing with?

And then all of a sudden, things got really weird.

- It was out of control, like... Choo-choo-choo-choo.

- It was scary.

We're barely touching it, and it's just moving everywhere.

- It just kept on saying the same stuff

over and over and over again.

- It was all directed to me.

He loved me,

that Mike was lucky that he was able to sleep with me.

I was a porn star.

It was weird, sickening, nerve-wracking.

- It was out of my hands, out of my control,

and it was frightening.

- And then it said good-bye,

and then it spelled out,

"you will never be rid of me."

- "There's nothing you can do about it."

All of a sudden, it started counting down.

10, 9, 8, 7,

6, 5...

- All of a sudden, it started counting down.

10,

9,

8,

7,

6,

5...

- Stop it!

- That really freaked me out.

- I'm like, "what have we done?

What have we done?"

We put the board in the closet, put it up high,

and we're not touching it ever again.

Basically we'd forgotten about the board.

Just before Christmas, I found out I was pregnant.

And then in July of 2009, I had Brodie.

It was spring 2010 when odd things started happening.

I was home alone.

Crash!

[Creaking footsteps]

I heard footsteps,

and not only footsteps,

but there's a loose floorboard sort of up there.

- Zac?

- Did Zac come home and I didn't notice?

[Running footsteps]

Not even just one footstep.

[Creaking]

I'm calling, "Zac, if you're up here, just let me know.

I just want to know if you're home."

It doesn't feel good there.

It feels heavy.

I have the feeling that if I turned my head quick enough,

I'd see someone standing there.

There's somebody here.

Things started really picking up from the November onwards.

- It's quiet.

It was just me and her in the house.

Well, the baby was sleeping.

[Creaking]

And all of a sudden...

- [Deep voice] Hey!

- Right between our heads.

- I got goosebumps.

Something odd was happening in the house.

- It started to become more physical.

I was in the kitchen by myself,

and I felt a tug on the back of my shirt.

There was nobody there.

It was scary.

I almost felt like it was starting to take over the house.

A couple of weeks later,

Mike was making himself something to eat,

and as he walked out of the kitchen,

I looked over, and I said, "oh, what have you got?"

And as he said, "pizza..."

I'm thinking it's starting to escalate.

What's it going to do next?

Just before Christmas,

things started to take a turn for the worse.

It was Thanksgiving,

so we had a group of friends over.

Everybody was relaxed, having a good time.

- Just sitting around, talking.

And then, on the other side of the room,

Brodie's toys started going off.

[Train tooting]

[Beeping]

- And more toys start going off.

So by this stage, we've got toys spontaneously going off,

going off, going on, going off, going on,

lighting up, making noise,

singing, music.

- [Gasps]

- And as rapid as it started, it stopped again.

It was done.

- It was kind of like it was toying with us.

- No one really knew what to say,

apart from, "that's really weird."

They couldn't wait to leave.

That was just the turning point right there.

I really knew that I wasn't alone in that house anymore.

I was scared it was gonna hurt one of us.

But we can't just up and leave.

We can't break our lease.

We can't find somewhere else to rent.

- So we figured that just try

to deal with the stuff best as we could.

- When it turned to night,

you didn't want to be in the house at all.

You always feel a cold chill coming down the stairs.

Sense of something standing there,

watching you from above.

[Creaking]

I wouldn't walk with my back against Brodie's door.

I would just turn my body towards it.

It was just, like, a sense, if it was outside of his room,

just kind of challenging you.

[Creaking]

That whole hallway was just terrible at night.

- I was trying to go to sleep,

and I could hear a whisper in my ears.

I could feel tugging on the sheets.

I'm just trying to ignore it.

- Suddenly I woke up.

My leg felt it was on fire.

I look down.

On my leg was a scratch 6 inches long.

- [Shrieking]

- We hear bloodcurdling screams.

I was scared what I was gonna see.

It was that horrible.

- [Screaming]

[Screeching]

And he's pointing to the closet.

It was shut when he went to bed.

Couple days later, it happened again.

- [Shrieking]

The closet doors were open again.

I said, "that's it. I'm shutting 'em.

I'm tying them shut."

As I shut the door, I hear, in his room,

the closet doors are just shaking.

- I was like, "there's something in there.

It is rattling those doors."

No wonder this kid is so scared.

That is what Brodie was dealing with.

I was scared it was gonna do something much, much worse.

You can feel it around you, but how do you fight that?

You can't see it.

It was just an average day.

Mike was at work,

and Brodie was waking up from his afternoon nap,

and I went up the stairs to get him.

- Hello, little man.

- He was babbling to himself when I went in to pick him up.

I was just turning out of the doorway...

I realized, "oh, my god. This is it.

It's showing itself to me."

It's this black figure.

I moved back out, and it was still there,

and I glanced back,

and it was gone.

Just knew I had to get out.

I couldn't stand being there a second longer.

- I'm pretty much freaking out now.

Like, "who's in this house?" You know?

- Just felt like you're about to get attacked or something.

- I just knew then and there

that we just had to take a stand.

We had to take our house back.

[Knocking]

We were a little bit skeptical about going to a church

and saying this is what's going on in our house.

We were put in contact with grey wolf.

- She was very frightened

with things that had been happening.

My attention was drawn to the stairs.

You can feel every hair stand up on your body,

all of the hair on your arms.

And that's when I asked her,

"what else is up here that you haven't told me about?"

And she started explaining about the ouija board.

- This cupboard?

- It was in a closet that was directly connected

to the closet in the baby's room.

- He told me, "it is attached to you.

It's attached to you through the ouija board."

That's when I realized it was vox.

I felt sick. Tears welled up.

I felt ashamed.

I felt mad at myself.

He said we need to get rid of the ouija board.

- Water is the one element

that doesn't allow spirits to travel.

- We had a kiddie pool for Brodie,

so we decided to use that.

- We wrapped the board in a personal item of mine,

seeing as it was attached to me,

and he said, "before we put it in there,
