I'm Eli Roth.

I've spent my life telling horror stories.

But imagine if those stories were real.

And suddenly, you found yourself stalked

and tormented by an evil spirit

and no one believed you.

These are the actual accounts of terror

as told by the victims who came face to face

with their demons and survived.

I need a minute.-

Take your time.

Sure.

I'll be right back.

My anxiety and my PTSD from all this has been,

pretty intense.

It's something that stays.

It's something that remains with you.

Lucinda and Rae-rae, we were living together and,

we had a nice house.

We had gotten engaged.

It was... it was awesome. It was awesome.

No. No, you don't.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna get you.

- I'm coming. - I hear you.

I hear you.

I got you.

Okay, it's our turn to hide now. Okay?

Let's go. Let's go.-

Close your eyes.-

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

Three, two, one. Ready or not here, I come.

I'm gonna come find you.

I'm sorry, Button.

I didn't mean to.

What did you call me?

I said I'm sorry, babe.

I didn't mean to.

You called me Button.

What?

No.

My dad called me Button.

That was his name for me when I was little.

He hasn't called me that in years. No one has.

You called me Button.

Aren't you going to get that?

Hello?

What's wrong?

When did they find him?

What happened?

My father died.

When?

My God.

They thought maybe he had overdosed

and that he had done this intentionally to himself.

Thank you for coming. I know it was unexpected.

I really appreciate it.

What actually happened?

I had no idea what happened.

I believe he was having problems.

He was angry all the time,

picking up fights.

He emptied out

the entire medicine cabinet.

- No wonder he'd done it. - Do you wanna go?

Where's Rae-rae?

I'll go find her, okay?

Stay here.-

- Okay? - Thanks.

Rae-rae, are you up here?

Rae-rae?

Let's go.

Rae-rae is downstairs.

Ali wants to sleep with you tonight.

It's been a long day today, hasn't it?

You know it's okay to be sad.

Is there anything you wanna talk about?

Where's Mommy?

Mommy is not feeling very good

she went to bed and...

and you should be asleep, too.

- Good night. - Good night.

- I love you. - Love you, too.

Can you not shut it all the way, please?

Lucinda, Lucinda.

- What is it? - Are you okay?

- Is everything okay? - There was a monster.

It was a dream, okay?

It's a dream.

What is it?

Rae-rae saw it, too.

It's scary. It's frightening.

It's frightening.

I am my own biggest skeptic.

For the longest time,

I wanted to believe

that none of this really existed.

That the paranormal is not a real thing.

I didn't wanna believe

that people could actually be haunted.

I'm telling myself, you're tired.

You're tired. This isn't really what's going on.

I found you.

Good spot.

You know what? I'm gonna hide

but we have to be really quiet, okay?

Because mommy's not feeling okay?

One, two, three.

Rae-rae?

Rae-rae?

Honey, did you see anything in that room?

You're gonna be late for work.

It's about time you got ready.

It's about time you got your ass out of bed.

What did you say?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that.

I haven't really slept well in the last couple of days.

I honestly thought I was tired

and didn't wanna put

too much merit into it.

I was a professional bartender downtown.

I wanted to open up my own bar and restaurant.

Here comes the rush.

Sorry, sorry.

I'm getting unhinged at this point.

You're home early.

How was work?

Candice, is everything okay?

Anything wrong?

Leave me alone, okay?

Candice.

I don't know what's gotten into you.

For the last time, lay off,

I do everything around here

while you sit around on your sad ass all day.

Leave me alone, okay?

Whatever.

Shut up.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Mom?

Honey, you should be in bed.

Go away.

Something was really going on,

was really happening in our household.

It escalated.

It got bigger, badder, stronger.

I've been touched, I've been scratched.

I have been paranormal bitch-slapped before.

And it's one of those things until you experience

one of your own that it's kind of

hard to explain it.

I would see things out of the corner of my eye.

I could feel the things still around us.

I would be angry and not know why I was angry.

I would switch on a dime.

It got volatile. It got volatile.

I feel like I do everything around here.

You don't do anything all day.

I feel like you're using me.

My father died, okay?

Cut me some slack.

Seriously, what is wrong with you?

This is exactly what he was like

before he died. He was unhinged.

He was picking fights.

He was here scaring the crap out of people,

out of me.

You're scaring me, like him.

Come here.

Did your father ever say anything?

Anything weird?

What do you mean?

Like something.

Anything. Before he died?

He told me he was gonna die.

Not that he was gonna kill himself.

I... I don't get it.

Ever since he died, I feel like

there's something in the house with us.

I feel like there's something else here.

Do you feel it?

Do you feel any?

Mom?

Honey.

Lucinda, I...

not okay?

Come with me, sweetheart, let's go.

Lucinda, she would tell me,

"You remind me much of my dad."

Some of the afflictions that he suffered from

were also happening to me.

They came out of nowhere, absolutely nowhere.

All of a sudden, these spiders are everywhere, everywhere.

And it was something that was unexplainable.

I could not wrap my brain around it.

It still blows my mind.

Still completely blows my mind.

We decided to move.

I'm getting my kid out of there.

I thought it was a way to escape.

We got a very, very big, big house

that we moved into very shortly

after Lucinda and I got married.

Everything was good. Everything was good.

It was good for a long time

and I thought that it was done.

I thought that it was over.

What's wrong with you, stupid bitch?

- What did you say? - I said you almost slipped.

Watch your step.

It followed us.

When I saw it back in the house,

it was heartbreaking for me.

It was heart wrenching for me, it was scary.

And not for me, it was scary for the fact of

I didn't want this to come back upon...

A my kid and my wife again

and start to affect us the way that it had before.

It was... It was devastating.

You okay?

I'm fine.

You're driving my spleen.

No!

No!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I could literally,

in a very crowded room,

feel and experience and hear negative emotions

that were going on with the people

that were in my bar, not to mention

the people that I worked with consistently.

That was kind of frightening.

This thing fed off of anger.

It fed off of our negative emotions.

This thing fed off of that.

It got ugly. It got violent.

It got really violent.

No.

Please, please.

No.

Go.

Go away!

Go away!

Shut up!

No. Leave me alone.

Leave me alone. Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

No. No.

Shut up!

I know what you think of me.

I know what you think of me.

I know that you hate me.

And you're gonna leave me.

I know that you're gonna leave me.

I know you're gonna leave me and you hate me!

I know what you're gonna do!

Candice!

Such an anger like I'm gonna kill.

My rage is scary.

It's blinding even to me.

I didn't know what to do.

I didn't know what to do.

Black outrage it's an immediate rage.

Mommy, what's happening?

Looking up and seeing your daughter

standing in the doorway.

She witnessed it.

We're playing a game, sweetheart.

You're lying to me.

I don't like it when you lie.

It makes me angry.

Get out. Get out.

Get out of the house! Get out!

- What? - Get out!

Come with me.

Come with me.

Let's go.

There were things that my daughter

should not have experienced.

It's too much. It was too much.

It was too much. It was time for us to not...

No child should ever have to witness any of that.

I don't know if I'm comfortable talking about this.

I'm gonna take a minute. God, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I haven't really processed all this

until now to be honest with you.

I definitely was not prepared for the influence

that this was gonna have upon myself and my family.

I started to realize that the best way for me

to try to keep my family safe was for us to split up.

Come on, Rae-rae.

Let's go.

The house being empty was...

I was kind of shut down.

Things got bad,

this thing was not going away.

It would make me angry and it fed off of that.

It was very much stronger at this point.

It was scary.

I lost my job. I quit because I could, I couldn't...

I could not be around that many people

in that large of capacity anymore.

Man.

I started to drink.

I thought I could sip it away.

I could put down a gallon of vodka a day easy.

Not a problem.

Most people should be dead doing that.

Walk a mile in my shoes.

You're gonna look for any outlet

to make it shut the up.

I need a minute.

Sorry.

The things that I do and would do

resembled his actions.

I found out before he passed,

her dad had had paranormal experiences.

When the entity had shown up,

it was responsible for his death.

It got very, very overwhelming.

I was tired at that point,

tired, I was tired of dealing with everything

that I couldn't do it anymore.

I... I wanted everything to be done.

I tried to kill myself.

When I came to in the hospital,

when I finally came out of it,

I realized that that was not a place

I wanted to be in.

I literally had had enough.

I had the... All that I could stand.

I can... I can temper things happening to me.

But when things start to happen to my family,

that puts me over the line and that was my breaking point

and that's when I had... I had had enough.

Very, very determined,

I decided to fight.

At this point, I instinctually knew

that it was time to get this thing

out of my house.

I decided to fight.

I went through every room,

every room, room by room, and said "You have to go.

You have to go. It's time to go."

I opened up every window

trying to make the entity leave.

It's time for you to go.

It was very strange.

She was very much an amateur.

When I brought in an investigator

that didn't necessarily know what she was doing,

it stirred the pot and it... and it...

It made situations worse.

My sister told me that maybe it's time

you should get out of here, like, let's go.

Within that week, we grabbed a U-Haul

and we packed up all of my things

and moved to Lafayette, Louisiana.

It followed me.

I was... I was devastated.

I didn't know how to fix anything

and I was scared, like, scared.

It was really a, "Why me?" situation.

"Why this right now?"

I don't know if it was a succubus.

It fed off of my negative emotions and anger.

This particular entity, it's not something

that is ever really gonna go away.

It's something that I have to live with and fight.

It's very much a research process.

It actually gives me a better understanding

of the things that are happening around me

and help to get this under control.

For the most part,

I have worked very, very hard on myself

for the last couple years to not be angry

and not let these things afflict me.

I actually got into the paranormal,

officially, and started investigating professionally.

I use my experiences and my team

as a sounding board and we're a team amongst teams

and if I can't help you, other people can.

Rae-rae's amazing.

She's doing great. She great, she's great.

I'm very proud of her.

I've gotten through this bad point in my life

and I have transpired and gone through.

This entity messed our world up.

I firmly believe that it is the sole cause

of why I'm not still married to that woman today.

I try to take a negative and turn it into a positive

and you're not gonna succeed all the time.

But some days, you might be better than others.

No, I don't think.

What an amazing story.

I appreciated her vulnerability and her honesty.

I thought she was very real.

I thought she opened it up.

And that's not easy to do.

About many people if they had somebody

say to them, me too, I get it.

It's not you, me too.

And that can mean a lot to people,

change their story.

Definitely. Finding your people,

finding your community, finding...

that common ground goes a long, long way.
