A lot of sadness here.

People here didn't want them.

They were, in life, unwanted brats.

Did it scare the kids?

Oh, yeah. They were frightened.

There was something
I saw that scared me.

You could see what looked
like a head peeking out.

If you had a kid, would
you let them come here?

Probably not.

Things are really messed up.

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 one way to
know if my findings are real.

He's killed people.

I rely on my partner.

I'm Steve Dischiavi.

I'm a retired New York
City homicide Detective.

He got shot at his house?

And I know every person,
every house has secrets.

Aren't you terrified, being here?

It's my job to reveal 'em.

That sounds like something
out of The Exorcist.

But Steve and I never speak..

We never communicate
during an investigation..

Until the very end..

That's bad.

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

I'd like some answers.

Or time to get out.

Amy and I work independently
from one another.

It's my job to sort fact from fiction

with interviews, research,
and hard evidence.

I received a call from
a woman named Rebecca

who works at the Slocum House
Theatre in Vancouver, Washington.

Apparently, there's some strange
things going on in the building.

But her biggest concern is the kids.

They come there to see a theater show,

and apparently, she
thinks they're in danger.

I'm gonna try to find
out what's going on.

As I approach this location,

before I even open and invite
the dead to communicate with me,

I begin to get images
flashing through my mind.

Before Amy enters, I remove anything
that could influence her investigation.

This theater contains a lot of
information that could be leading.

I take my time to remove everything so
the building is ready for tonight's walk.

A lot of sadness here.
A lot of sadness here.

Things are really messed up. Um..

Uh, there's, like,
chil.. A lot of children.

Every medium has something
that just creeps them out.

And for me, it's dead children.

Sometimes I try to tune them out,

but there are just too many
in this place to avoid them.

They're running around
and being happy and happy.

Everything's fine and, uh..

But it's not. It's really not.

And it's all..

Um, really messed up.

The Slocum House is Vancouver's
oldest community theater.

And after 20 years of being
the company's vice president,

Rebecca's grown very concerned
about the safety of the children.

So I'm going to meet with her and
see how Amy and I can help out.

Why do you need me and Amy to come in?

We've noticed that the
activity has increased recently.

And, uh, mostly when the kids are here.

And I think it's frightening the kids.

We usually have two classes
of kids in the summertime,

and this year we didn't
have any sign up at all.

And I think they're just
frightened to be here.

Uh, what kind of things are going on?

We've had apparitions, um,
voices, um, things being moved.

You know, a little bit of everything.

Okay. Are you ever
frightened when you're here?

Yeah.

Why would you stay here?

It's my job.

Okay.

But your concern is for the kids.

Absolutely for the kids.

It dramatically increases
when the kids are here.

- Okay.
- That's my main concern.

I want the children safe.

Okay.

There's a lot of kids here.

I don't like that if they're dead.

Mm-hmm. Like, how many kids?

10 to 20 kids.

And are they all from the same period?

- Like, are they all interacting and..
- Yeah, yeah.

They're just being loud and running
around, kind of torturing the adults here.

They're just acting crazy.

Uh, so, Rebecca, this is the theater?

Yeah.

Okay, what happens here?

We were doing a show, and just as we
were going for a curtain call and bowing,

there was a vase of
flowers on a bookshelf,

and it flew off and landed center stage.

But was anybody there?

Nobody was there. We
were all up front bowing.

So I guess the audience sees this.

Yeah, the audience did see it.

What else happens in this room?

There was this one time
where the children were here,

and we turn off all of the lights

and they recite their lines
to make sure they know them.

And as they were doing that,
they were looking on the stage,

and there were lights
flying all over the place.

And what did it look like to you?

Actually, it looked.. Kind of
looked like fireflies or something.

And it had nothing to do with
production lights or anything like that?

No, no, no, it was totally dark in here.

We turned all the lights off.

Did it scare the kids?

Oh, yeah. They were frightened.

People here didn't want them.

Their families didn't like 'em either.

Mm-hmm.

They were, in life, unwanted brats.

They were..

Spoiled or, like, rotten, rotten.

Did they live here or
did they just come..

I don't know. I don't know.

I wonder why ** oh
and, there's bunk beds.

Bunk beds.

Oh.

Why? Why would you do this?

There's, like, six..

Six of them.

Six what?

Girls.

Things are really messed up.

So, Rebecca, what happens down in here?

Um, I've heard children laughing.

- In the basement here?
- Yes, in the basement.

- Were there any kids in the building?
- No, no.

This was late at night.

It.. It sounded like there was
two or three kids in the corner.

And like they were playing a
game and laughing with each other.

And I.. I looked. Of course,
there was nothing there.

So is there anything else you
might have heard or seen down here?

I was down here by myself and I saw
something shoot across in the back corner

as if it were trying to
hide from me or something.

It looked like a younger teenage girl.

That's interesting. Okay.

I hear someone running.

A girl running down this hallway.

There's a young girl, uh, and
she's yelling at another girl.

They're teenagers.

She wants her to leave her
alone, and she's a stupid [Beep].

There's, like, three s..

Three sisters.

There's one in particular, um..

And she's probably, like, 18 or
something, and blonde hair, brown eyes.

She's, like, 5'2..

And she's crying a lot.

What can you tell me about the house
that could help me in my investigation?

This is not the original
location of the house.

The house was actually located about
a block over and down a little bit.

And we had it moved here in 1966.

So we're really close to where it was.

Exactly, yeah.

What about this basement?

At the old site, there was no basement.

This we did.

This was all underground.

Well, I guess.. Do this.

Oh, uh..

I don't like it.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I don't like it in here.

I, like, felt like I
walked through a wall.

Oh.

And then I got scared, because I..

There was something
I saw that scared me.

Someone here hates children.

Hates 'em.

There was something I saw..

That scared me.

And it went down.

It got sucked into the ground.

It was a big guy, I think. A big guy.

Yeah, uh..

I don't like him, and that
kind of made me nervous.

So the guy went in the..

Into the floor..

Uh, over in here.

And he's running because he
doesn't want to be bothered.

He is kinda scary, this guy.

He's like 7 feet tall.

He's huge, and he's,
like, really broad..

A big, broad guy.

Kim, thanks for meeting with me.

Uh, I spoke with Rebecca.

Uh, she told me what was going on
and some of the concerns she has.

Have you experienced
anything or seen anything?

Yeah, um, mostly, I don't like
coming down to the basement by myself,

because it just makes me
feel really nervous down here.

I was closing, uh, the cellar door,

and a man, very distinctly, in a
brown suit, short cut, steel-gray hair,

kind of stocky, walking
directly under there,

and I said, "hey, what are you doing?"

Because I thought it was
somebody downstairs taking a tour.

And I looked around, and
there was nobody down here.

Anything else that you've
seen in the basement?

There's a.. A.. An old air vent
that's, um, right in the ceiling here.

And I cover it with a piece of paper

when I'm doing a show
because it makes me nervous.

It feels like, you know,
things kind of seep up into it

and mess with my lights.

Th.. Things don't work properly
when, you know, when I'm up there.

This big guy, you know..

And, you know, if there's a sensitive,
occasionally, they're gonna see him.

And he, uh, he was probably like 5'7..

But he was a pretty.. Pretty stocky guy.

In death, entities can project
themselves the way they want to be seen.

The 7-foot man I
encountered in the basement

was really only 5'7 when he was alive.

He doesn't like children.

He might be aggressive.

And he, like, shakes 'em sometimes.

There's a really
uncomfortable feeling up here.

The men's costume room right behind you,

I always feel like there's a man
in there or there's a male presence.

It's.. It's.. I just feel
like I'm being followed.

Did you ever experience anything?

Yes, one time during a show, um, we
could hear what sounded like kids running,

um, things getting knocked
over, shoes dropping.

So we came up to investigate and
we didn't see anybody up here,

but the two other people I was
with, um, were looking down the hall,

and they could see what looked
like a head, you know, peeking out.

Kim, I don't understand.
You're.. You're..

- Uncomfortable in the basement.
- Right.

- You're uncomfortable
up here. - Mm-hmm.

There's things going
on in the theater level.

Why would you stay here?

I.. I come here because I
like doing what I'm doing.

And it's one of those pride things,
you're not gonna let it beat you.

I'm getting really mad.

You're getting what?

- Angry.
- Why?

Because they're not being clear about..

What they want.

Shaun, I understand you were the
stage manager here at some point.

That's correct.

Let me ask you a question
about Rebecca and Kim.

I mean, are.. Are they legit?
They crazy? What's the story?

Nothing about them, to
me, would seem crazy.

Okay.

Do you, uh, know, if, uh, when kids
have been present, has anything happened

once the kids are here?

When the kids are here, it
definitely wakes the house up.

Did you have anything happen here?

I will hear my name being called, usually
from this point, from the greenroom.

It won't be like a, "hey, Shaun. "

- It'll be..
- "Hey, Shaun. "

And there's nobody here.

What else happened?

I've seen a man in the
men's dressing room.

He's standing in the
window, almost to greet you.

- Shaun, if you had
a kid.. - Mm-hmm.

A young kid, would
you let them come here?

Probably not.

It's an old man.

Ooh. He's old.

And he, uh, is tired of children,
because he thought they were rotten.

All I know is that old
man didn't like 'em.

He initially liked children.

And then he grew to hate them.

There's some mental illness here.

Yeah, crazy.

"Crazy" in big letters.

- What does that mean?
- It's just "crazy"

in big letters. That's what I see.

"Crazy. "

Where do you see that?

Like, just words written on a plaque.

"Crazy. "

There's some mental illness here.

Yeah, crazy.

"Crazy" in big letters.

"Crazy. "

There are plenty of crazy
sightings at the Slocum Theatre.

But before I start
digging into its past,

I want to make sure there's nothing
structurally wrong with the house.

That might cause things
to just move on their own.

It's a long shot, but I've
called in a building inspector

to give the house a once-over.

Kurt, thanks for coming out to meet me.

Absolutely.

There's claims of objects moving
from one side of a room to another,

stuff falling off shelves for no reason.

What I need to find out,
and I know it's a long shot,

is if there's anything structurally
in this house that would cause that.

For something to move
all the way across a room,

we'd have to have
something pretty dramatic.

I would think we'd be able
to find that if it's here.

With over 20 years on
the police Department,

I know that you have to
rule out the obvious first.

Since the house was moved,
I'm hoping that'll explain

why things have been shifting around.

So, Kurt, what did you find out?

Well, I didn't find anything that would
justify the items falling off shelves

or being moved from one
side of the room to another.

We have some slight areas of
unevenness that are not level,

but nothing like you're describing.

So there's nothing extreme here.

Nothing extreme.

Now that I know the Slocum
Theatre is structurally sound,

I've gotta start digging
into who lived and died here.

So I'm going to speak with a local
writer who knows this town inside and out.

Jeff, thanks for taking
the time to meet with me.

I appreciate it.

Uh, I know you've written
several books, uh, about

the Vancouver, Washington, area.

My interest is in the
Slocum House Theatre.

I was wondering if you
could help me out with that.

The Slocum House was built by Charles
and Laura Slocum in the late 1870s.

You know, you can tell, they're
obviously well-to-do people,

and I can imagine them,
when they first got married,

being really, really happy together,
buying that big, huge house lot,

and then ten years later,
starting to build their dream house

for a whole bunch of kids
and cousins and things.

And yet, as life went on,
they didn't have any children.

Obviously, the house is
built for a large family.

It.. It was.

And.. And Charles was gone a lot,
and so she was really kind of stuck,

and she more or less adopted all the
neighborhood children as surrogates.

So there would be birthday
parties all the time,

and little plays for the children,

and.. And I think any occasion she could
find, she would bring the children in.

This one lady, she was..

She was trapped, um,
and didn't like her life,

and, uh, uh, there's like
chil.. A lot of children.

I don't know if they're
dead unwanted brats.

I'm hoping they're just residual.

Aren't the kids a part
of this family here?

Nope.

They come from somewhere else?

Yeah.

Do you know what the reason was
why they didn't have any kids?

No, I honestly don't know, but
they both started a little late.

He was almost 30, and
she was in her mid 20s,

which, for back then,
that was pretty old.

Right.

Uh, but Charles was away a lot.

I mean, he had business interests all
the way into Idaho, places like that.

This man, he just wants to be
away, and so he goes away a lot.

He's unhappy that, uh, this
is how his life turned out.

Now what I need to do is dig
into the property's history

before the Slocums were there.

I'm headed over to the Clark
County historical museum.

Hopefully, I'm gonna get
some leads over there.

In a case that dates back to the
1800s, it's hard to find solid evidence.

But I'm able to uncover
two pieces of info.

A guy named Amos Short once owned
the land where the theater sits.

And he was involved in a bloody
land dispute resulting in two deaths.

They're putting bags on dead people.

And there's all these bugs.

And it smells because
their bodies were rotting.

It was just really bad.

They're putting bags on dead people.

And, uh..

And there's all these bugs.

And it smells because
their bodies were rotting.

I finally got some solid
leads at the library.

It turns out that a man named Amos
Short had a legal claim to the property

that the Slocum Theatre sits on.

Some land developer called
Hudson's Bay Company wanted him off.

Apparently, Amos wasn't having
it, and he shot two of their guys.

Now I have to meet
with a local historian

to find out what led
up to that incident.

I found out about Amos and Esther
Short, that lived on the property where

the Slocum House Theatre is.

Mm-hmm.

What do you know about
Amos and Esther Short?

Well, Amos and Esther
Short came out on..

On the Oregon trail.

They eventually had, I
think it was 12 children.

And they filed a land claim, uh,
where that house is located now,

but there were competing, uh, individuals
and organizations for that land.

The Hudson's Bay Company was here,
and they wanted the Shorts to leave.

And when he was gone,
Esther was harassed.

It was an individual, Dr. Gardner,

and a Hawaiian gentleman
from the Hudson's Bay Company.

They harassed her on a regular basis.

Uh, destroyed their agricultural fields,

and they burned her
cabin down three times.

I mean, there was a
lot of harassment here.

There was someone here who was a Doctor
at some point, and this educated man

did not like women.

Didn't like them at all.

Gardner and his assistant,
uh, come on to the property.

They have a confrontation with Amos,
and then he gives 'em a verbal warning,

asking them to leave.

And then the shooting happens.

And he winds up killing both of them.

Right, right, and.. And he's
acquitted of self-defense.

So Amos Short killed the two men who
tried to run him off his own land.

But I need to know what happened
to Amos and his wife after that.

So I managed to track down
a relative of Esther Short

to see if she could provide me with
more details regarding this case.

What's your relationship
to Esther Short?

I'm about, uh, five generations
down from Esther Short.

This is, uh, Esther when
she was a young woman.

Now when Amos wasn't around, did
they try getting her off the land?

Oh, yes.

I don't know how many times
the Hudson Bay people, uh,

put 'em on a raft and
sent 'em down the river.

Probably three or four times.

- The kids..
- The kids.

- And her?
- So it was in the middle of the winter.

One of those times, she was pregnant
when she was put on that raft.

So these had to be pretty brutal men

to do something like
that to her and ten kids.

I mean, it was just
like they didn't exist.

So Esther and Amos suffered
some serious hardships.

Oh, yeah.

Amos was just determined
he was gonna be here.

But he went to, uh, San
Francisco with a load of potatoes,

and then on his way back, the whole
ship went down, there were no survivors.

Was it accidental?

I do not know, but I suspect that had
something to do with the antagonism.

There was a.. A big event.

Someone's lost and people
are running all over.

Inside the house, there's a panic.

I feel like the person
who's lost is a male.

Uh, they're scared because this male,
uh, they would be lost, uh, without him.

Now what happened to
Esther after Amos died?

She had to take care of her kids.

She eventually ended up
having two different hotels.

She ran those, and she did everything
she could to make it succeed.

And I think she was tough
enough and strong enough

that she was absolutely determined

that she was gonna leave
a legacy for her kids.

I came across several
dead people on my walk.

But I decided to have a sketch
artist draw the most prominent one,

the angry Doctor.

There was a male.

He had a heart-shaped face.

Um, what can you tell me about his nose?

It starts pretty high.

The bridge is pretty high.

Did it look sort of like that roughly?

Proportion-wise and everything?

I think his nose is a little thinner.

A little thinner. Okay.

Yeah.

What can you tell me about his eyes?

They're deep set and they're
a little bit far apart.

And what can you tell
me about his hairdo?

It came down pretty.. Pretty low.

Then it's all slick.. Slicked.

Sort of like that?

Yes.

Amy and I work
independently of one another.

Tonight we'll be discussing
our findings for the first time.

Well, guys, it's good to see you again.

Uh, this is my partner.. Amy.

- Hi.
- Hi.

They run a theater show for the kids.

Correct.

Apparently, whenever
kids are in the theater,

activity in the house
goes through the roof.

And it's a big concern for them.

They're worried about the kids
and to see if they're safe.

So with that being said,
I'm gonna turn it over to Amy

and find out what happened on her walk.

Well, it was really
interesting because I had, um,

physical sensations that
were a little unusual.

It felt like I was
walking through walls.

And that was downstairs in the
entrance to the changing area, I guess.

Like I hit the wall, and then it gave.

Uh, I don't like it.

What's wrong?

And that kind of made me nervous.

The interesting thing is that
there used to be a wall there.

We have recently redone
that whole basement.

And there was another room down there
that we actually got rid of completely.

Oh, wow. Okay.

The house was moved in 1966
from where it originally was.

Mm-hmm.

And it didn't have a
basement originally.

No.

So it was all dirt there.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I also began to feel um, a real sense
of despair and depression and loss.

And then I met this younger
female who was feeling this way.

And it seemed to have a lot
to do with her and her family.

She was missing her husband.

- He was always gone and traveling and..
- Hmm.

I think she really,
really loved him a lot.

I got a picture of, uh,
Charles and Laura Slocum.

They met here in town. They got married.

They built that house.

Now obviously the house is big, and you
would think they built a house that big

because they were gonna have kids.

So they didn't have any kids.
We don't know really why.

Interesting.

A lot of sadness, very depressing,
like nobody was ever really happy here.

He used to go away a lot on
business and then come back.

She used to do a lot of events in the
house for the kids in the neighborhood.

Apparently, uh, it filled
the void of not having kids.

Once when I was in the theater,
um, I was sitting there,

and this apparition of this
woman came walking past me.

And she had long hair, and she..

She didn't acknowledge me.

She just kept walking right past.

And you think it's her?

I do. I do think it's her.

So, Amy, what else did
you see on your walk?

I came into contact with
residual imprints of children.

People here didn't want
them because they were..

Spoiled.

They were, in life, unwanted brats.

And there were at least ten of them.

They were running, yelling
and screaming and jumping and..

Any adult, they're like, on,
and, um, wanting attention, and..

Yeah, it was kind of overwhelming, just,
like, how much, how loud, how active

these kids were.

We tend to hear noises,
especially when kids are present,

and, uh, Shaun and Rebecca saw
what looked like a smaller head..

Kind of peeking around.

I just opened the door and said,
"okay, you guys, knock it off. "

"We have a show. We need
you to stop making noise. "

And, uh, yeah, nobody was upstairs.

I also saw an elderly gentleman.

He traveled all the time.

Then I got the educated man.

He hated women and..

He didn't like children.

You know, I went back a lot
further than the Slocums.

Uh, the land that house sat
on was originally owned by, uh,

Amos and Esther Short.

Uh, it wasn't even U.S.
soil at the.. At the time.

And they were in a battle
with the Hudson Bay Company.

They didn't want them here.

They claimed the land
here, that it was theirs.

When Amos would go off on business,
Esther was left alone with the ten kids.

Hudson Bay Company did everything
they could to get rid of her.

They destroyed the crops.

They burned their cabin three times.

Even went as far as, two times,
putting her and the ten kids in a boat

and sticking them on
the river with no oars.

What?

"Take care. "

That's pretty sick.

Shaun, tell Amy about the
guy you see in the window.

I'm wondering if he could be
one of the three guys Amy saw.

Every time I walk into the
side door of the theater,

the men's costume room window, a
man is standing there watching me.

And it's just this..

Wyatt Earp-looking man.

Amy, you sketched one of
the men you saw, right?

Yes. Um, I sketched

who I felt was the educated man.

He hated women and..

He didn't like children.

You know what? Let's
take a look at the sketch.

That's who I see.

Amy, you sketched one of
the men you saw, right?

- Yes, I did.
- Okay.

I sketched who I felt
was the educated man.

What do you think?

Wow.

Yeah.

That's him.

That's the man that
watches me in the window.

Everything about it is spot-on.

Oh, man, the hair is
just ridiculous. That's..

That's it.

The hair was very specific, so..

Yeah.

Well, there's a lot more to the story.

Um, as far as Amos goes, at one point,
Amos was home, and.. Two men came again

to try to get him off the property.

Ahh.

He told them, "don't come on my land"

"or I'm gonna shoot. "

Gave 'em a warning shot.

They didn't listen.

Two more shots, and he killed both men.

And it happened right
outside the door of the house.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Wow.

Now both of them worked
for the Hudson Bay Company.

One guy was named Dr. Gardner, and,
uh, his assistant, a Hawaiian guy.

There was someone here who
was a Doctor at some point.

He hates the girls,
like, the teenage girls.

Just hates 'em.

Hates 'em so much. Hates 'em.

Unfortunately, there is no
photo of Dr. David Gardner.

I don't know who this
educated man that I saw was,

but I do know that he hated women.

He died in 1850.

Hardly anybody's picture
was taken back then.

But it's obvious that you
and Amy saw the same guy.

That's him.

Yeah.

A Doctor is obviously an educated
man, especially in the 1850s.

Now, Amy, you said
this man hated children?

Mm-hmm. Yes.

Well, we many never know
if it's really Dr. Gardner

who's scaring the children here.

But the most pressing question is,

is it safe for those kids
to come into the theater?

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

Well..

In this case, there's..

Good news.

I feel it's safe for them.

But I have a problem
with the 7-foot man.

He.. Is kinda scary, this guy.

And he's, like, really broad..

A big, broad guy.

So was he 7 feet tall, or was
he just presenting himself..

- He was just presenting..
- Okay.

- In life, he was, like, 5'7..
- Okay.

But in death, he's 7 feet tall.

I think he needs a stern talking
to because he is being a hypocrite.

He is saying he wants to be left
alone, and yet, he's harassing.. People.

So that needs to stop.

I think you guys should talk about
what each of you has experienced,

what you want, what you
don't want, write it all down,

and then go down there as a group
and read out the whole thing.

Be like, "that's your
space, you hang out there. "

"We'll respect that if you respect us. "

"If you don't respect us,
then you're gonna have to go. "

I'm certain the 7-foot-man
was Dr. Gardner's assistant.

He's chosen to stay in the
theater, but needs to move on.

Amy, what do they do if, after
they have this talk with this guy,

and it doesn't stop?

Well, then you're going to
throw him out of the location.

Okay.

We'll keep in contact
to see how this goes.

And if you have to make him leave,
then I'll tell you what you need to do.

I mean, now that we know that
it's not dangerous for the kids..

- Yeah.
- You know, I mean..

It kinda goes to the
personality of the house.

It would be, you know,
if he wants to stay

and he's willing to follow the rules..

We don't have any hostility.

We just want kids to
feel comfortable coming..

- So..
- Right. Right.

- Mm-hmm. -
Thank you so much.

There are several dead people
inhabiting the Slocum House,

but only the 7-foot man
presents any sort of danger.

As long as the employees of the theater
follow the advice I've given them,

they have nothing to worry about,
and the children will remain safe.
