He is a very bad man.

Where is he right now?

He got 30 years in jail.

He's killed people.

She was murdered, and it was never solved.

He was white, and he was
covered with sweat.

Why are they here?

This thing is just playing
out over and over.

They conducted the autopsy
right on the property?

A gruesome day.

Uh..

The house might lash out at them.

I don't want to be in here.

There's something down there.

My name is Amy Allan.

A lot of dead people are here.

I see dead people. This is not good.

I speak to dead people..

He is very pissed off.

And they speak to me.. The house is angry.

But there's only way to know
if my findings are real.

He's killed people.

I rely on my partner..

I'm Steve Di Schiavi.

I'm a retired New York
City homicide Detective.

He got shot at his house?

I know every person,
every house has secrets.

Aren't you terrified being here?

It's my job to reveal them.

That sounds like something
out of "The Exorcist."

But Steve and I never speak..

We never communicate
during an investigation..

Until the very end. It's bad.

And we uncover if it's
safe for you to stay..

I'd like some answers.

Or time to get out.

Amy and I conduct our
investigations independently.

We never cross paths or share any
of our findings with one another

until the very end.

Hopefully between the two of us, we
can find some answers for our client.

The trouble is, he spent his entire
childhood terrified of that house,

seeing and hearing things
no one can explain.

To this day, he's convinced
the house is haunted

and needs to know if he and
his family need to get out.

Even though I haven't opened yet and
invited the dead to speak with me,

I started picking up on
flashes of death in the area.

Lots of energy going on.

I'm also feeling like there was
some kind of nasty illness

that just one of them had.

I feel like I may throw up.

Before Amy begins her walk, I clear
the location of any photographs

which might influence her.

Old houses like this one can be difficult

because over the years residents tend
to accumulate a lot of personal photos.

But once they're removed,
Amy can begin her walk.

Someone is saying something
happened to it bad..

Bad..

And a lot of, uh, dead people
are very unhappy about it.

And there's dead people that are
miserable, uh, angry, uh, confused.

The whole thing's a fricking mess.

So, Ryan, it's good to
finally meet you in person.

You as well.

Now you're a grad student, am I correct?

Yeah, I came back home
to take a medical leave.

Why am I here?

Basically, you're here to
provide me some answers

that I've been seeking for quite a while.

This house has unusual noises.

You know, sometimes when people aren't
there, my family and I will hear things.

But the actual seeing of what's here.

Has just singled me out for some reason.

I would tell people what
I heard or what I saw,

you know, and there was
a lot of skepticism.

And I just would like to know, you know,
is this stuff gonna keep happening

the way it did when I was younger?

There's, like, one uh, older man..

And, uh, I get the name Charles or Charlie.

He really liked it here.

He likes to futz around and fix things.

Do you think anybody, uh, is experiencing
anything here, that lives here?

They can sometimes hear the noises
from the old man fixing things.

But he can't breathe.

His death is weird, and I
think it is heart-related.

When I was about 15, I was sleeping,
and all of a sudden I just wake up,

you know.. Just in a second,
and I see a young woman,

probably early 20s, late teens,
and she appeared to have, like,

a, uh, Victorian-style dress.

The best way to describe
it is like a misty fog.

You didn't get a color of
hair or anything like that?

It was definitely dark.

Okay.

I had, um, recently been
in an auto accident,

and maybe a month or two
after I'd been home,

I started having this upsetting dream.

The woman that I had seen by the bed said,
"you were just in an auto accident."

"If you don't want to help me,
your little brother is next."

I mean, I was terrified, and I started
screaming, but nothing was coming out.

There's a female here.
She has long brown hair.

She's young.

Uh, she's probably, like, 15.

She's yelling. She's screaming.

There's a lot of fighting. She's unhappy.

"Aah. They don't understand me. Aah."

It's kind of like that teenage angst.

Okay, so, Ryan, what happened here?

I was home alone, um, and I started
hearing someone coming up the stairs.

I come out to greet who I thought
was gonna be my Mom or whoever,

and it was the same woman
that I had seen previously.

She turned, she looked at
me, looked forward again

and then proceeded to walk on straight.

- So she said nothing to you.
- No, didn't say a word.

What do you know about the house?

It's a pretty well-known house in the area.

There was a young woman who
used to live in this house.

She was murdered, and I know
they implicated her boyfriend,

but they still haven't
determined who the killer was.

Really?

I just want to have, you know, closure
and understand if something's here,

you know, who is it, you
know, why are they here.

When she's walking up and down the stairs,

sometimes you hear footsteps from a girl.

Her essence has been seen.

The younger girl..

Is stressed out and angry.

Like acting..

Like this thing is just playing
out over and over and over again.

Robin, I spoke with Ryan your son..

Mm-hmm.

And he told me about a specific
incident in his bedroom

where he got woken up in
the middle of the night.

Can you tell me anything about that?

I woke up to a scream probably trying
to get out, and I ran into Ryan's room,

and he just.. He was white, and
he was covered with sweat.

And he held onto me, and he was 15,

and 15-year-old boys don't hold on
to their mothers and not let go.

Did you ever see anything in the house?

Well, I was in the kitchen
with my son Ryan,

and we were discussing whether we should

have you come and investigate
what's going on here,

and then a pie plate flew out of this
cupboard and smashed on the floor.

The house is different.

Mm..

It's disturbing.

Uh, it's not good.

Angry.

Disturbed.

The house is angry.

I feel like the house
might lash out at them.

Sometimes structures have
an identity all their own,

and I feel that this house has one
that is extremely disturbing.

The house is angry.

Why?

Because they damaged its heart.

They ruined it.

Janet, thanks for meeting with me.

You know the house I'm investigating.

You had told me you house-sat
there back in the '80s.

Yes.

Was there anything that happened while
you were there that you can't explain?

Yes. There were some things that would
never happen in a normal house.

- What kind of things?
- When I was taking the trash outside,

the light in the attic flicked on.

- Were you there alone?
- Yes.

Okay.

Was there anything else that happened
while you were house-sitting?

I was on the phone in the living room,
and the phone in the kitchen rang.

And there's only one line in the house?

Yes.

There's no cell phones, so..

There were no cell phones
and no party lines.

Did you know anything about
what happened at that house?

Yeah, everyone knows about
the Nellie Cropsey house.

Nellie Cropsey and her
family had lived there.

She had disappeared off the front porch,

and then I'd heard that she'd
been found in the river,

and she was murdered, and
it was never solved.

Would you live there?

No.

I know this might be weird,
but I have to do it.

My spirit guides are
telling me to lie down.

I never second-guess them, because they
help me communicate with the dead.

Someone is saying, "there is blood."

She pointed to the other man and said..
"He's a very bad man." Up there.

Uh..

Ryan knows that a girl
that lived in this house

was murdered about 100 years ago, but
why would she be begging for his help?

Maybe she wants her
killer to be identified.

So I'm going to meet a Professor who
literally wrote the book on this case

to see if I can get some answers.

One of William Cropsey's daughters was
very lovely, the spirited Nell Cropsey,

and she began seeing Jim Wilcox.

And they'd been seeing
each other for three years

when we get to the night of her
disappearance, November 20, 1901.

It's a family that sadness
seemed to strike.

After Nellie's death, Nell's
sister Ollie became reclusive,

and she suffered colon cancer,
a very painful death.

Sickness, like, right
here really hits hard.

Somebody definitely had, like, cancer.

This is a female.

Just a really bad feeling right here.

I'm experiencing everything
this young woman felt.

The nausea and pain she
endured was overwhelming,

and now I'm feeling it myself.

Oh, I feel so sick up here.

So, um..

I feel so sick up here.

Somebody definitely had, like, cancer..

Very sick.

So the night she goes missing,
she's here with her sister..

Yes.

- And Jim Wilcox.
- Right.

Jim Wilcox got up to go home.

Nell had hardly paid him any
attention that whole evening,

and he asked if he could see her
out in the hall to say good night,

and Ollie, Nell's older sister,
nodded that that was all right.

And a little later on Ollie
came out in the hall.

There was no Nell or Jim, and
fairly soon it became apparent

that Nell had disappeared.

Um..

Like, she felt trapped, um..

Trapped.

Um..

And, uh, you know, she wants to be free.

Uh, she's just pissed and, uh..

You know, she was always fighting
and fighting and fighting.

The man and the woman went off together.

Did they ever find her?

37 days after Nell Cropsey went
missing, she was found out here,

straight out in the Pasquotank River.

- Right across from the house.
- Right offshore, yes.

They brought her body up to a
building out back of this house

for an all-day autopsy.

They conducted the autopsy
right on the property?

Yes, Sir, with an audience
of a couple thousand people.

- Can you show me where?
- Yes, right around back.

They turned this into a..
A morgue of sorts.

They laid Nell Cropsey out here
and brought in their tools..

Scalpel, saw..

And conducted a two part all-day autopsy.

The coroner's report said that
Nell Cropsey came to her death

by being struck on the temple and by
being drowned in the Pasquotank River.

Notes of a gruesome day.

Were people just like, "he
did it," and that's it?

Many, many people thought he did
it, and he was tried and convicted

on pretty circumstantial evidence.

Well, Bland, now that you say that,

what were, uh, some of the
other theories that they had?

There are an awful lot of people here in
this community who have believed that..

Uh, Nell's own father killed her.

The ice bill for the Cropseys went up,

and the gruesome conclusion that a
lot of people made, uh, was that

they were keeping her body on ice.

And the uh.. The other theory, uh,
really was that she committed suicide.

This goes with Jim's report
that he had broken up with her.

She's upset. She's crying on the porch.

What does she do?

She runs down a pier and
throws herself into the river.

I just see this guy, uh,
picking off, uh, tools.

"Cut them up."

With what?

Knives, different knives.

I see just people laying.

Like bodies.

Female. A lady.

And I like he's killed people.

I get, like, a creepy guy in here.

He's a pervert..

And I think he's killed people.

Ryan says a young girl whose
murder was never solved

is begging him for help and
scaring the hell out of him.

Hopefully finding out who killed this young
girl will bring everyone some peace.

And now that I've got Nell
Cropsey's autopsy report,

I can meet with a forensic pathologist
to see if I can get some real answers.

Doctor, I sent you the report.
You had a chance to look at it?

Yes, I did.

You know, the defense said
that she committed suicide.

Do you see suicide here?

I don't see any indications
of suicide in this report.

I don't think it was drowning.

Uh, her lungs aren't filled with water.

What we do have is this glaring mark on
the neck, probably due to strangulation.

Doctor, if Nell Cropsey was strangled,
what was it like for her?

She would have felt intense pain
as her neck was being compressed,

probably would have felt
her hyoid bone snapping.

And smothering, strangle,
smothering, smothering, smothering.

Hmm.

Her neck, I mean, it really cracked.

She snapped her neck.

After meeting with the medical examiner,

I'm convinced Nell did not commit suicide.

She was murdered.

With Jim Wilcox behind bars and
Nell's body discovered 37 days later,

the question is, who did it?

So I'm going to meet
with a marine scientist

who helpfully can help me
figure out a few things.

Dr. Luettich, a lot of people
think that Nell's father

had something to do with her murder.

Nobody believes that her body
could have been floating

in this river for 37
days and gone unnoticed.

They assume she got dumped in the river
right before she got discovered.

They also say that Jim Wilcox
couldn't have committed the murder

because he was in jail when the body
was discovered right by the house.

How is that possible with this river?

Now I went and looked at the
weather records uh, from 1901,

and there were several cold
fronts that came through.

Those probably had North winds, which
would have sent her body downriver.

The bottom of this river, uh,
no telling what's down there.

That could have hung her up.

It would have made it real hard to find her

while they were trying to dredge the river.

Apparently in this case, her
body was not decomposed,

and that's what got people thinking

that she couldn't have been
in the water that long.

Well, the temperatures were cold,

and at that time of year, the
sea life that is in the river

are probably fairly dormant.

So you're saying it's very possible that
she was in the river this whole time.

Uh, very possible.

Everything in my investigation points
to Jim Wilcox being the killer.

But something tells me that this
story doesn't end with his trial,

so I'm going to the Courthouse
to meet with a local historian

to see if she could provide
me with more details.

What can you tell me about the trial?

Jim was convicted of second degree
murder, and he got 30 years in jail.

But he only did 16 years.

Governor Bickett decided to pardon him.

Why does he get pardoned?

The governor felt that after 16
years, he had been punished enough.

- And he comes back to Elizabeth City?
- He comes back to Elizabeth City.

What can you tell me about Jim Wilcox?

What kind of guy was he?

Jim was, um, kind of a strange guy.

He was eccentric in his behavior.

He always had been.

He became an alcoholic.

His life just got worse and worse.

In 1934, Jim Wilcox put a shotgun under
his chin and pulled the trigger.

Can you see his face?

I see him.

Where is he right now?

Up there in the hole.

He's laying on the floor, and
he's masturbating and drooling.

He gets overexcited.

I think he killed the
women, female, female.

I don't want to be in here.

Three people who were at the Cropsey house

the night Nell disappeared
ended up committing suicide.

One of them, of course,
was, um, Jim Wilcox.

In 1908, the sister Ollie's gentleman
caller that evening, Roy Crawford,

he apparently went crazy
and shot himself to death.

Um, in 1913, um, Nell's
brother Will killed himself

by drinking Carbolic Acid in
front of his wife and child.

After Nell's murder, the sister
Ollie, she continued to dress

in the Gibson girl style of 1901.

She was frozen in time, the
year of her sister's death.

And she died of colon cancer, I believe.

So, there's a lot of tragedy
attached to the whole case.

It wasn't just the death of
one young beautiful girl.

It affected several other lives.

The young girl I saw on my walk

was one of the most scared, angry, and
frustrated I've ever encountered,

so I decided to meet with a sketch artist
and recreate how she appeared to me.

- Her face was oval.
- Mm-hmm.

Tell me about her eyes.

She kind of had doe eyes. They were dark.

The nose?

It's so hard to explain it.

- Like, delicate.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

What do you think?

That's the girl.

Amy and I haven't spoken to each other
since we started this investigation..

So tonight we'll be hearing each
other's findings for the first time.

Amy, the reason we were called in is
because Ryan as a child and a teenager

was tormented in this house.

Uh, for a long time, and..

He went away for school.

Now that Ryan's back in the house,

he wants to know if it's safe for him
to stay in the house or if it's not.

That being said, I'm gonna
turn it over to Amy

and just have her describe
what she saw on her walk.

Well, the.. The first person I encountered

was an elderly gentleman
by the name of Charlie.

And what he does here

is he likes to fix things.

It could be a little, um, creepy
at times, because what he does

can sometimes be heard.

You hear things in the house, don't you?

You know, you'll hear, you know, just
really weird noises that wouldn't happen.

The other thing that I
encountered was a female.

And uh, sometimes when I do my
walks, I, like, merge with them,

and she was suffering from cancer.

Like, there was somebody
here who was really sick.

I feel like my body is

falling apart.

And I feel like I want to
throw up all the time.

So I was feeling, like, nauseous, dizzy.

I wanted to pass out.

I was just horribly,
horribly, horribly ill.

And this actually made
my walk very hard to do.

So did she give her name?

No. I was in her body, she was
in my body, kind of a thing.

Well, there was a woman
a long, long time ago..

Her name was Ollie Cropsey..

- And she died of colon cancer.
- Oh.

- But she spent..
- Wow.

Most of her painful life from
the cancer in this house.

I also came across um,

another female, and she was between um,

15 and 19.

And this was on the second floor.

And she..

Is full of anger, depression, and fear.

She's yelling. She's screaming.

There's a lot of fighting. She's unhappy.

Like, she's coming in here
and slamming the door.

And she was involved with a male

and was having a hard time with him,

because she was always fighting.

That's who I saw, was a young..
A young lady,

and she was in the corner of the
room, and she called my name twice,

and she said, "help me.
Why won't you help me?"

Like, she was, like, on the
verge of crying almost.

And that's when I just screamed as
loud as I could, and my Mom rushed in.

She had I had, like, a
death grip on my sheets.

And the minute she came to me, I
held her, and I wouldn't let her go.

This is probably the
main reason we're here.

The thing about this house is back in 1901

uh, a family lived here called Cropsey.

They had a daughter named Nell
Cropsey who on a November night

was here with her boyfriend Jim Wilcox.

And her sister and her boyfriend.

Her sister Ollie is.. That's her sister,

- the one that had the colon cancer.
- Oh, okay.

Nell Cropsey, later that night, went out
on the front porch with her boyfriend,

and she disappeared.

When I first met her, what
I felt was the neck snap.

Initially, I was like, hmm, you
know, maybe she hung herself,

because I knew with all the emotions,

but I feel people who have hung
themselves, usually it's strangulation.

It doesn't snap the neck.

I may be able to clear it up a little bit.

Um, Nell Cropsey was the
girl I told you went..

- Disappeared when she went on the porch.
- Mm-hmm.

They found her 37 days later in the water.

I got a hold of the autopsy
report, the original.

She had a bruising on her head that
they blamed for her cause of death.

I've seen 1,000 autopsies.

That contusion was not enough to kill her.

She also didn't drown.
She was dead when she hit the water.

That being said, they did the
autopsy from her clavicle down.

They never did from the neck up.

In my opinion.. And I met with a
forensic pathologist on this.

We both came to the same conclusion..

She was probably strangled to death.

So, Amy, you did a sketch
of the girl you saw.

- Yes.
- Okay.

- She.. She looks a little annoyed.
- Angry.

- She.. She looks a little annoyed.
- Angry.

Wow.

I'm shaking.

It's okay. Just take a deep breath.

Is that the girl you saw by your bed?

Yeah.

I got pictures of Nell Cropsey.

What do you think?

I mean, the face shape is.. Is point on.

When I saw her, she was, like, storming
past me, and it was very brief,

and I pretty much only got
one side of her face,

so this was really hard to do for me.

- She's done that to me.
- Okay, yeah.

She did a quick look like that
and just kept.. Kept going,

- didn't say a word to me.
- Mm-hmm.

How do you feel that somebody
else saw a woman in the house?

A lot better.

Every time I would tell
my stories of what I saw,

there were very few that
actually believed me.

Yeah.

That was very hard, growing up.

So the next person that I encountered
was outside in the shed.

He was disgusting.

He was a sexual predator.

I just see this guy, a uh pervert.

Picking off, uh, tools.

And I think he's killed people.

I see just people laying, a lady.

Do you think he killed somebody, or do
you think he was trying to come across..

Oh, no. He definitely
killed at least one woman.

The man I saw in the shed bragged
about being a ruthless killer.

He took pride in claiming his victims.

He was a monster.

The man who's in the shed,
I think he killed her.

Oh.

It's interesting you mention the shed.

Jim Wilcox is the guy that got
sent to jail for her murder.

- Okay.
- This guy got arrested and was in prison

when they recovered her
body out in the river.

Amy, do you think the guy
in the shed is Jim Wilcox?

I don't know.

I don't know the name of
the dead man in the shed,

and I couldn't see his face
clearly enough to sketch him.

What I do know is he claimed to have
killed the dead woman lying on the floor.

A part I didn't tell you until now

is they brought her body to
the shed to do an autopsy.

Oh, wow. Okay.

So Jim Wilcox is, uh, convicted
of murder and gets 30 years.

He gets pardoned by the governor in 1918.

In 1934, Wilcox blows his
brains out with a shotgun.

Pardon or no pardon, I'm convinced
Wilcox did this murder.

He strangled Nell in anger, panicked,
and threw her body into the river.

I've seen it 100 times.

As far as I'm concerned, there's
no mystery about how Nell died.

Ryan, you've seen the results
of our investigation.

You heard everything we uncovered.

But the big pressing question is,

is it safe for you and
your family to stay here?

Mm-hmm.

With that, I have to turn it over to Amy.

Um, so basically there's some good
news, and then there's some bad news,

but we'll start with the good news first.

The elderly man Charlie's
a really nice guy.

I think he was a priest or a
preacher, um, very religious

and, um, just for some reason
has an attachment here.

No problems with him.

The killer outside in the shed..

You can kick him out.

(Speaking indistinctly) You just
tell him to get out of the house,

and he's not allowed in here.

And then the younger girl..

Her soul is no longer here.

You may have, at some point, moved her on,

and there's just this residual imprint
of that emotional state that she was in.

It's something that you can do and
not even know you're doing it.

Maybe when you were asleep,
at some point you..

- Mm-hmm.
- Helped her go.

I've had a lot of bizarre dreams about her.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I was sitting in the kitchen, and
she would come down the hallway,

and she would just say, "I
really want you to help me."

"If you don't help me.."

"You got in a car accident."

"Your brother could be next."

And I don't.. It really scared
me, because I had that dream

every night for two and a half months.

That might be something else.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Here's the bad news.

The problem is the house.

- My house?
- Yeah.

Taking on her image and
threatening you that way.

The house has its own identity.

And this house is angry.

Like, the other structures that
I've dealt with that have had this

either burn down or are demolished.

It's just like they're not
meant to really be lived in.

- Basically the house doesn't want us here.
- Yeah.

You know, it's funny you say that,

because there's a lot of death
actually attracted to the house.

The night Nell went missing,
everybody's lives got changed.

Nell got murdered.

Wilcox gets convicted, then
kills himself afterwards.

Nell's younger brother
actually committed suicide

by drinking Carbolic Acid in
front of his wife and kids.

What?

Ollie winds up with colon cancer. She dies.

Ollie's boyfriend killed himself also.

I would just like to know what are
some precautions that we could take.

I mean, would it help having a
priest come in and bless the house?

There's really not anything you can do.

So my concern is, like, illnesses in
this house being a major issue.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, if you are feeling
ill, if it's an unusual illness,

I would actually leave

and go to a friend's house or
another relative to recover.

Ryan and his family have
finally found some closure,

knowing their experiences with
the dead people are real,

but that knowledge comes with a price.

Their next move is really up to them.

Death revolves around this house.

I don't exactly know why, but I do feel
that no one should live here ever.
