- Morgan city 911.

The station's
getting flooded with calls

About strange stuff going on.

We seen a guy near the park

Just vanish into thin air!

Looked like a priest,
but he wasn't no real priest.

I feel this presence
every time I sleep.

- You'll see a man in the window.
- He could be a priest.

He went clean through the walls.

He was moving,
straight off of my porch!

I have an officer en route.

I've been workin' for the
morgan city police department

34 years.

In recent weeks,

My department has been overrun

With reports of strange
and unusual activity

That we just can't explain.

The people down here

Are lookin' for answers,
so we're gonna try something

That we've never tried before.

You heard a growl?
There was a growl.

We've got a team
of some of the best

Paranormal investigators
in the country.

Is there a negative entity here?

Oh, my god!
What the hell?!

♪♪

If this paranormal team
can't figure out

What's goin' on down here,

we're in a lot of trouble.

♪♪

♪♪

In the last 24 hours,

The number of ghost sightings
in morgan city

Has actually increased.

People are so scared,

We set up an emergency
town hall meeting.

♪♪

Been throughout this entire
parish all my life,

And I've never seen this type
of paranormal activity at all.

Right now, we have no answers,

But there's an awful lot
of sightings.

But you would definitely say
this is an older gentleman?

Please take your seats.

Please take your seats.

Concerning a recent uptick

In paranormal activity here
in morgan city,

The morgan city police
have been awful busy,

But they're working hand-in-hand
with a paranormal team,

And part of that team
is mr. Ben hansen.

I'd like to call you
to the podium.

Thank you.
Thank you, mayor.

Thank you, council.

I know it can be really scary.

These experiences can
disrupt your family lives,

Your jobs, and then there's
the part of not being believed.

No one is going to mock
or disbelieve you here.

We'd like to kind of start out
by just taking a survey.

How many of you have seen
what you would consider

A ghost or an apparition?

♪♪

My goodness.

At least 75% of the people in
the building raised their hand!

The sheer magnitude
of what we're up against,

What we have to face
to get rid of these hauntings

Is truly overwhelming.

I've been in
the front lobby at city hall,

And there was a guy
who came down the stairs,

Just went clean
through the wall.

He had on, like, a black robe.

Maybe looked like a priest
or something like that.

But I was just scared.

Now, you said specifically
the clothing was a dark robe?

Dark robe.
Yeah.

You said priest too, didn't...

I mean, it just kind of
remind me of that.

Now, this is not
the first time that we've dealt

With a priest or a minister.

I'd seen this guy... like,
a priest or a minister-type guy.

And I'm willing to bet
it's the same priest

That's been seen
at the archive building

And the same priest
that patrice seen.

Thank you very much.

The description of
a mysterious person

Dressed in a black robe
is puzzling us.

It would be easy for us
to find that person

If he was real and arrest him,
but we can't do that.

Jeannie, what experience
did you have?

My dad texted me,
and the strange thing about that

Is my dad died in 2008.

And his phone is,
I'm assuming, not active?

There's not a phone
connected to the number.

So, that was really,
really strange.

Caller advised that they
could hear a woman screaming.

When they got to the residence,
it all stopped.

Couldn't find anything.

I have a friend who works
in the old bank building,

And she says she sees
an apparition of a man

In period dress like '20s
or '30s style.

Okay.
On that note...

Has anyone else seen
an apparition

Of a man in black downtown?

♪♪

Wow. Okay.

I have never, in all of my years

Of being
a paranormal investigator,

Seen so many people
who have reported

Seeing not only an apparition,

But possibly
the same apparition.

Wow. Okay.

If we could get your contact
info, we'll follow up with you.

I know some of this is
kind of a little private, too,

And you may not want
to talk about it here.

We do believe
that this man in black

May be linked
to the overall spike in activity

Here in the community,
and I can tell you this,

That we will do
everything in our power

To solve this case.

A lot of people in town
are genuinely scared,

But it has crossed my mind

That maybe there's an effect
of kind of mass hysteria,

That people are thinking
they're seeing things

Because it's being talked about.

But these are
very detailed sightings,

And a lot of them are
corroborating with each other.

We just have to figure out

Who exactly
this man in black is.

♪♪

♪♪

During last night's
investigation

Of our own
headquarters building,

We were definitely
communicating with a spirit.

Careful, jereme.

I think you're talking
to something else.

This doesn't feel the same.

Now, we think that this spirit,
this male apparition

May be the same spirit
everyone else is seeing.

Are we thinking that he might
be the other figure

That's here
in the archives building?

You know, when I felt
two figures,

I felt one
that was more prideful

And one that was
much more solemn kind.

The perfect word's humble.

That sounds like a priest.
Yeah, I was about to say

That definitely sounds
like somebody in the clergy.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah. Which brings
up the question...

Were you able to find
a priest that died here

Traumatically in morgan city?

Here is why I'm so leery.

The black-and-white
clothing that you describe

Matches multiple religions.

Prior to the mid-1900s,

There were no clergy that were
residents of morgan city.

So, a large number of priests

Traveled here
from other parishes,

Even from other states,

Especially during
traumatic times like wars,

Epidemics, particularly
the yellow fever epidemic.

That's interesting because
I just kept hearing in my head,

"I'm sick. I'm sick.
I'm sick." gosh.

Okay, well, I did
find one priest

Who died here
in morgan city in 1943,

A father louis ouellette.

He and two alter boys

Were on their way back
to morgan city,

And they are hit by a train.

Whoa.
Yeah.

Now, the question would be,

Does this tie into
what we have seen thus far?

Why would a priest
or a clergy man

Who's supposed to be helpful
to the community...

Why is he running around
scaring people,

Waking people up?

Well, we still have
to figure out the motive.

What does this spirit want?

I mean, if it is
the ghost of father ouellette

Who died tragically here
in morgan city,

Why would a holy man
want to disturb the dead?

I'd like to go talk
to the townspeople.

Yeah, and what I think
we should do is

We should show them
the picture individually.

That way, we don't taint
the whole process.

Absolutely.

So, now we're going
to focus our investigation

On learning as much as possible

About this priest
and what his intentions are.

I mean, is he good?

Or is he evil?

♪♪

Ben and I are starting
at the fire station

In downtown morgan city

Because there were
a couple of firemen

At the town hall meeting

Who had mentioned
some unusual activity

That's been escalating
the past few days.

I know I personally
feel this presence

Every time I sleep.

Something happened to me
that really freaked me out

When I was here on duty.

Middle of the night,

Probably 2:00,
3:00 in the morning...

♪♪

My sheets was violently
torn off of me.

I felt a male presence
standing by my bed,

And I felt a cold chill
run through my body.

♪♪

I run out of the room,
and I went into the front room,

And I just stayed up there.

Whoa! And that did
not freak you out?

Oh, it freaked me out.

Have you ever
seen this presence?

I have never seen anything.

So you wouldn't know
if it was male or female?

I would tend to think
more that it was a man,

Just the feeling that I had.

Did you get any sense of
whether this presence was evil?

I couldn't say 100%,

But I just felt
that somebody was with me here.

I've had the same
kind of feeling,

Like somebody standing over me,
like a presence.

Has anyone actually
seen the presence

Or had any experience
like you did?

Yeah.
Across the street,

The beauty salon, cissy...

She says she's witnessed
someone dressed in black,

Maybe a priest,
like in the window.

Of your window? Of
the fire station, yes.

♪♪

♪♪

There's been a sudden
influx of paranormal activity

Here in morgan city,

And we're trying
to figure out why.

We've identified several clues

That connect
all of our previous cases,

Including spirits that
have died violent deaths...

Missy!

Whose bodies were buried
in unusual places

And spirits who were wronged.

And now, many people
are reporting

Seeing a man in black,
resembling a priest.

He's become our prime suspect...

As the force
that might be behind

All these spiritual awakenings
in the parish.

So, it could mean
that the activity is picking up

Because we're getting
closer to the truth.

♪♪

We've had some weird things
kind of go on

In the salon
while we're working.

We have a man
that haunts the salon

And then we've actually
seen him in the window

At the fire station.

Would you mind showing me?
Yeah, absolutely.

So, he is usually up there
on the second floor.

A lot of times at night,

I will see a man in the window,

And he looks like
he could be a priest.

Now, does this man
seem scary to you?

Yeah, he's really scary.

Usually, if I have
to come here at night

Or I'm working late, I don't
look over there at all. Okay.

So, cissy,
I have a photo here...

Okay... That I'd like
for you to look at.

And could you please tell me
if it looks like

The man that you saw?

No.
That's interesting.

That's very interesting.

♪♪

Marcelle, thank you
for meeting with me.

You know, I know when
these things can happen,

It makes you uneasy.

It makes you uncomfortable. Yes.

But other people are seeing
what you're seeing.

Okay. Can you tell
me what happened?

Okay.
One night I'm working.

I heard the footsteps first...

Coming down the stairs.

I thought maybe it was one of
the workers that was here.

The guy comes through,
and he has on,

Like, a black, dark robe,
like a priest,

And he just walked
clean through the wall.

This here?
Yes.

Clean through... so, he
was headed out this way?

Yeah, he was headed out
towards the buildings.

Did you feel at all
threatened by this presence?

I really was afraid.
I really was, you know.

Could I show you a photo

To see if you recognize
the figure you saw?

Sure.
That's fine.

No.

♪♪

I'm about to go meet with malik.

He was at the town hall
meeting last night.

He's going to meet me
at the corner of everett

And second street
over here by the park.

So, I saw you last night

At the town hall meeting, right?
Yeah.

You were setting
towards the back there.

Yeah, that's right.

Is there something
about this location?

Yeah, it is.

I was out for a jog
early in the morning.

I was at the edge of the park,
and I'd seen a figure.

He turned.

And he just looked at me.

He had, like,
a long, black robe,

White ruffles around his neck.

And as I got a little closer,

He turned and he started walking

Toward the construction area.

As I got about maybe
30 yards away,

He just vanished into thin air.

I just got out of the park
after that.

Yeah, I don't blame you.

So, you said he looked at you.

I don't know
if you were close enough

That you're able
to get any details,

But do you believe
it was possibly this person?

No.
Nope?

Is it just his face you don't recognize?
Well, he kind of young.

The guy I seen was
a little older.

Okay, a little older.

Okay.

♪♪

I was hoping we would have
a positive identification,

This being father ouellette,
and now that we don't,

It's still a success because
it's a process of elimination.

So, malik pointed the direction
where this figure went.

It's right over by
the construction workers,

So I'm going to talk to them,

And maybe they can provide me
some more details.

Hey, guys.
How's it going?

Kill it. How you doing?
How you doing?

My name's ben.

Alright, delmond.
Nice to meet you.

Delmond?
Yes, sir.

We've been working
with the local p.D.

And helping them with some cases
of paranormal activity.

Have you seen anything unusual?

Anything in the park
or this downtown area?

As far as I go, I haven't
seen anything irregular,

But there has been rumors
that people have seen

Some pretty crazy things
doing what we doing... excavate.

Like what?
Like, they find bones.

Wait, wait.

Human r...
Like skeletal human bones.

Yes, sir.
That's right.

In the ground where
you guys are digging?

Yes, sir.

Whoa.

There's a theory
among paranormal researchers

That construction can stir up,
amplify activity.

There's a reason we say
on tombstones, "rest in peace."

You start moving things around,

The spirits are
no longer at peace.

Do you know where they've
actually found the bones?

Right on freret
and second street,

All the way to greenwood.

Really?
Yes.

This apparition has been seen
frequently in the downtown area

Where the bones were found.

So my question is...
Could these skeletal remains

Be somehow connected
to this apparition of a priest

That everyone's seeing?

We definitely need more intel
on the origin of these bones.

♪♪

♪♪

Okay, ben.

I can confirm
what was told to you

About the bones being found.

Really?
Absolutely.

In my research,
I found where in 1961,

They were laying
new sewer lines there,

And they found
all of these bones.

Now, remember the yellow fever
epidemic in patterson?

The idlewild plantation.

That's right.

In 1878,

There was also a devastating
yellow fever epidemic

In morgan city.
Really?

So, they took all of the bodies,

And they buried them
in the outskirts of morgan city.

Back then, it was
the outskirts of town.

Now it's not.
No.

It is right
in the middle of town.

It is the heart of morgan city.

So, basically, this entire town

Is built on top of a graveyard.

♪♪

♪♪

So, all the bones
the construction workers found

Belonged to the victims

Of morgan city's
yellow fever epidemic.

Gosh. Wow.

That would make sense
why they're just bones

And no coffins.

Because they probably
buried them all in mass graves.

Absolutely.
It's unbelievable.

So, we've got construction
going on in downtown morgan city

In the exact site
where the victims

Of the yellow fever epidemic
of 1978 were buried,

And there's a history of people

Finding human bones
under the street there.

If you think about it,
every building in morgan city

Where this apparition
was seen...

From the fire house
to city hall,

The hair salon,
our headquarters, the park...

They're all near the area
where the bones were found.

So, there definitely seems
to be a connection between

This priest and the bones
of the yellow fever victims.

Why didn't they move
the skeletal remains

When they found them?

According to the current mayor,
boo grizzaffi,

He said that the powers that be

Decided to not
disturb the bones,

To leave them as they were.
Okay.

So, the bones remained
at those particular sites.

The yellow fever was the biggest
killer of people in louisiana.

At that time, the city
did not have a cemetery,

So a lot of the people
were buried in mass graves

Throughout downtown morgan city.

People were dying so quickly,
that's where the phrase

"digging your own grave"
came from.

And at that time, I guess
they didn't have

The medical wherewithal
to know what was causing it.

They subsequently discovered

It was caused by mosquito bites,

And then they were able
to do something about it

Like getting rid of
standing water and so forth.

And it also included
the holy water in churches,

So the same water
that these priests

And preachers and reverends
were using to bless

The people that were sick

Was the same water
that was probably killing them.

Can you guys imagine how many
businesses and residences

Are built on top
of these bones now?

What's interesting is that
the construction workers told me

That they began repairs
on the waterline

About the end of January.

Well, chief bo called us
a couple of weeks after that,

So it is just a coincidence

Or could these two events
be connected?

Could this construction be
what stirred up this priest,

Possibly all the activity
in the parish?

It seems like everybody here
has seen this man

In some capacity, right?

But, for us, it's kind of
been like a wild goose chase.

Yeah, at the same time, even
though it's a wild goose chase,

It's almost like
this priestly character

Is trying to give us
some sort of clues.

Like he's been
with us all along.

Well, I ran across
something that I think

Is going to tie this together.

Remember we talked
about clergymen

Who came through
from different parishes,

From different cities,
from different states?

One such minister was

A reverend
charles m. Atkinson.

- You see the ruffles?
- Ah!

Yeah, the ruffled collar.

This is him.

This is the face I keep seeing.

Whoa!

This particular minister
was from massachusetts.

He had, as far as morgan city
history is concerned,

A lot of prominence,
and here's why.

During the yellow fever epidemic
of 1878,

108 people died
in less than four months.

The town was quarantined.

Bodies were quarantined.

Reverend atkinson
was the only clergyman

Courageous enough to stay behind

To pray for the sick
and bury the dead.

Sadly, atkinson's daughter lilly
and his only son, william,

Succumbed to the yellow fever.

Atkinson was forced
to bury his own children

In makeshift graves with others
who had died from yellow fever.

Wow. So right after
burying his own children,

Pretty much that same hour
performs the ceremonies

And goes out
to take care of the others.

He didn't have time to grieve
over his own family.

And, as a father, I mean,
I can understand that.

What if reverend atkinson
was in such grief

Over losing his children
while in service to others

That his spirit has turned
into anguish and rage.

He's on some type of mission

To exact some kind of revenge
over morgan city.

So my question is,

Why do I feel
his energy here, though?

I mean, over and over again,
I felt him here.

You know, we always established

That this particular place...
Headquarters...

Was the home of
the late mayor m.E. Norman.

But prior to that,
on this land was the church

That reverend c.M. Atkinson
ministered.

- No way!
- Wow.

So if this spirit
is indeed reverend atkinson,

Where are we going to find him?

We know he's been seen here.

He's been seen by two different
people at the fire station.

He's been seen twice on
second street,

Alright, and he's been seen
on freret street.

And we pretty much have
an entire downtown location,

So we better
get started on this.

Good luck.

So, tonight,
we're going to investigate

The entire downtown morgan city
area to confront this spirit

Who we believe has been causing

This spike
in paranormal activity.

We need to find out
if it's reverend atkinson

Or something entirely different.

♪♪

And how does that look?

That's good right there, jereme.

So if the spirit
who is stirring up

All the paranormal activity
in town

Is indeed reverend atkinson,

Then we need to try
and make contact with him

To figure out why.

Is he waking up all the other
wronged spirits in the parish

Because he's seeking justice?

Or, you know, has his sorrow and
anguish now turned into rage,

And he's trying to exact
revenge on morgan city?

♪♪

You can feel the energy here.

It really feels like
there's a lot of energy

Coming from over here.

We need to get started.

The morgan city police
department has been kind enough

To block off
and lock down this area for us

So there's no interruptions.

Tonight, what we are about to do

Is one of the most
important investigations yet.

Guys, this could be
the culmination

Of a lot of things that could be
answered tonight, right?

So, number-one priority
is that we try

And establish communication
with atkinson...

Okay... To find
out why he's here.

Does it have something
to do with

The bodies that were buried here
in the yellow fever era?

You know, is he looking for
his own two children that died?

Right. Relating that
to the whole parish

And all of our cases,

Is that why he's here?

If this is reverend atkinson,

Then I think it's important
that we hear his story,

But then, truly, help him
find some peace in this.

And remember, guys.

This priest could be
very angry and vengeful,

So we need to be
very careful tonight.

Agreed. Well, I've brought out
a piece of equipment tonight

That I've been working on.

- Wow.
- Oh, awesome.

This is the ghost helmet.

The idea is that
we use electromagnets,

Opposing fields to influence
the way our brain works

Along with the leds
that will sync us up

To a meditative state
to allow us to see things

We can't normally see,
such as ghosts.

Sarah is very, very gifted.

The rest of us don't
have any of those gifts,

But if it's possible that
we can sensitize ourselves,

That's the idea, right?
- Right.

And it can also be
some validation

For what you're seeing.

Yeah, absolutely.

Are you guys ready for this?

- Yeah.
- Ready.

I don't see anything
that could have actually

Caused the camera to fall over.

It is weird because
it kind of got knocked over

With some force.

It takes a lot of energy
for a spirit to be able

To manipulate an object
and knock down a camera.

And a lot of times,
the more powerful an entity is,

The more evil it can be.

We need, whoever this is,

To settle down
and be in one place

So that we can try

I think it's time
we used the ghost helmet,

gonna be influencing

Jereme's mind.

So activity in this whole park
can ramp up.

Okay.

I can honesty say I've never
actually used the helmet

In an environment that's

you're gonna put this helmet on.

You're gonna flip this switch

It's going crazy.

And his son.

His children are buried

Deep breaths.
Try to ground down, okay?

I have such a headache.

Yes, please.
It's a doozy.

How are you feeling?

I'm trying to make sense
of everything.

It's very weird.

The shadow that
we've been seeing...

Are the people
that are buried here,

The yellow fever victims.

So, it's not just one person.

And you want to know what?

They are pissed

At the way they were treated.

Why are they agitated?

If you were treated
like beyond a human being

When you were dying,
and they isolated you

From everywhere else
and basically sat there

And let you walk around
in a confined area

Until you die,
you would be pissed, too.

Cast aside.

Does this have anything to do
with the way they were buried

And that they're...
Of course it is.

And it's the way that
they went out of this world

Treated like that, and then they
just buried in a freaking pile.

That's how it connects
to robert kipp

Because he was affected
the same freaking way.

That's how it affects james

Because he was just
thrown out in a freaking lake.

That's how it affects
the berwick four

Because they were murdered
and thrown into a pile.

That's the whole thing here.
This is what it is.

It's all about being disregarded
in life and in death.

They took his children,
and they put them away,

And he couldn't see them again
until after they were dead.

How does it feel
to you guys now?

Does it feel like
they're still here?

Well, they're here.

I feel like they're here
but we're going to have to do

Something to honor them
in order to help them move on.

Seems like that's what atkinson
wanted for his own children.

I would suggest that's what he's
wanted for every single person,

Every case that
we've ever touched,

He's wanted that,

And that's why he's waking
all these spirits us.

Reverend atkinson
wasn't looking for revenge.

He was trying to help people.

He was trying to help those

That were mistreated
and wrongly killed.

When he was alive,
reverend atkinson

Sacrificed everything
for those around him, and now?

He's doing the same thing
in death.

It's not very probable, guys,

That we would be able
to dig up the remains

That are spread out
through the city.

I think the most we can do

Is to maybe do some sort
of a service to honor them

And let them know
they're not forgotten.

And we've given them all voices.

They had more influence
over us than we know.

Everything that happened
throughout this journey here,

He was there.

The supernatural world
has a way of drawing us in

To help them with their task.

I think it's time
to call it a night.

- Yeah.
- I have an idea

For how to release
these spirits tomorrow.

♪♪

My team and I would like to
thank you all for coming here!

Tonight, we are celebrating
reverend atkinson,

And we would like to honor him

By doing a ceremony
of the second line.

Now, this is my first time
doing this.

You guys are going to have
to teach me how to do it.

Are you guys ready?

A second line March
is a southern tradition

Where we March down the streets
to celebrate one's life

And their passing
on to the afterlife.

♪♪

Why does it always
have to be sad?

Why not have a party?

What better way
to honor the life

And the death of someone,
you know,

And help them transition
into the afterlife?

♪ Oh, when the saints
go marching in ♪

So, we went up
to the top of the sea wall

To send off
some lanterns into the sky

To represent the spirits
of those who are trapped here.

Tonight, with these lanterns,

We are honoring
the souls that passed

Due to the yellow fever.

Also, we are honoring
reverend atkinson

Who worked extremely hard
here in morgan city.

But we can't forgot
the other souls

That have been wronged.

We hope that
this helps lay them to rest.

May they find peace.

The sky lanterns... every one
of those that we light,

Representing the victims
of yellow fever

And all the other wronged
spirits throughout the parish.

Oh, that is cool.

- We honor you.
- We honor you, reverend.

♪♪

We honor you!

The whole symbolism
of lighting the lanterns

And setting them free,
to me, is basically releasing

The trapped souls,
setting them free.

There you go.

It feels different here,

And I feel comfortable going
to the city and telling them,

"you know what?

I think things are going
to die down a little bit."

♪♪

♪♪

Alright.

Jereme lets take
our first load out.

It's actually going to be
hard leaving the parish.

I've made so many friends

With people just in the stores
where I go to eat lunch

And walk in
and I know people's names,

And it's going to be hard
to go back to california

Where they don't call you
"honey" and "baby."

I'm going to miss that.

Ah, this is kind of bittersweet,
taking this all down.

I mean, I remember each
and every one of these cases.

All the people
that we've helped.

Case by case,
the entire investigation...

We've gone in and
we've heard people's stories.

We have connected
and shared things as a team.

We've all grown.

What, y'all packing up?
Mr. Mayor.

There's our living legend.

How's it going?

Hello, chief.

Y'all ready to head out, huh?
Yes.

It's really kind of sad,
leaving this place, though.

Yeah.
Well, good news.

We haven't received
any complaints.

Nice! And that's a good thing.

We're keeping
our fingers crossed.

Okay. For all the hard
work y'all done, the team,

I'd like to present you
with something

I very seldom hand out...

Key to the city of morgan city.

Oh, get out!
Are you serious?

That is so cool.

I appreciate everything...
Everything y'all done for us.

Thank you.
That is quite an honor.

Thanks, mayor. Your team has
done a tremendous job for us.

Couldn't have done it
without you guys.

So cool.

Well, you guys,
we're gonna miss you.

But we're not too far away.
Yeah, chief.

Actually, I'm dropping them
off at the airport,

And then I'll be back
at the firehouse in my parish,

So you need me, I'll be here.

- Good deal.
- Yeah.

Hopefully, I don't
need you after this.

Well, it will only take him,
like, eight days

To get here in this thing, so...

No speeding tickets.

Thank you, guys.

So cool.

So, jereme, I've been practicing
a little something for you.

Well, I'll be doggone, ben.
You did it.

I'm gonna make a cajun boy
out of you if it kills me.

I like it.

Hey, chief.
This is sergeant poole

Over here in thibodaux.

Look, we're getting
some really weird calls.

We wanted to see if you can
send your paranormal team over.

The paranormal team down here.
