Welcome back to the WNUF Evening News.

Tonight, millions of children across the country will take to the streets trick-or-treating.

In our own backyard, ghouls and goblins have already begun their door-to-door quest for sugary snacks.

So, with kids staying out late and causing mischief, how can you assure your child's safety?

Well, have no fear. Officer Donald Bookwalter has some

trick-or-treating tips to keep you and your family safe.

Halloween is a great night for little kids to dress up in costumes and pretend.

But we can't pretend that the threat of danger is not out there, too.

Here are some tips to help you and your little monsters play it safe on this, the most eerie of evenings.

1. All trick-or-treaters must be accompanied by a trusted adult, someone they know.

Not a stranger, not someone they met at school, and not the guy that drives the ice cream truck.

2. Inspect all your treats before you eat them.

That way you're not accidentally eating a razor blade or a needle infected with the AIDS virus.

Halloween, kids. Enjoy yourself.

Officer Bookwalter urges you to contact your local

police department if you witness any suspicious activity.

Gavin?

Hey, Debra. What's a vampire's worst nightmare?

Oh, I don't know, Gavin. Sunlight?

Mm-mm. Tooth decay.

And local dentist Dr. Stanley Allen knows plenty about that subject.

Reporter Veronica Stanzi recently visited Dr. Allen to

learn more about his third annual Cash for Candy program.

While some of us may be afraid of demons and vampires, a dentist's worst nightmare is...

Halloween! Halloween is a dentist's worst nightmare!

Dr. Stanley Allen is fighting tooth and nail to get

kids to give up their precious sweet treats for charity.

I'm not against Halloween or candy, but everything should be in moderation.

No kid needs to eat five pounds of chocolate.

It's just not healthy.

Here's the drill.

For every pound of candy your child brings to Dr. Allen's office, they get a dollar.

The candy buyback begins the day after Halloween.

Armed to the teeth with goodie bags and wads of cash, Dr. Allen hopes word of mouth will do the trick.

And now, we turn our attention to a real-life horror story.

A touching tribute this evening at the home of David Kim.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the seven-year-old's tragic murder.

I just can't believe he's gone.

Last Halloween, David knocked on the door of retired military service member, Colonel John Regis.

Young David, dressed in his army fatigue costume, was looking for treats.

What he found was devastating.

Suffering from shell shock, Regis mistook the child for a Vietnamese soldier.

He shot the seven-year-old trick-or-treater, fatally wounding him.

I mean, he loved G.I. Joe.

Despite his mental illness, Regis was convicted of first-degree murder.

Tonight, he sits on death row, awaiting execution.

We'll be right back.

You're watching WMUF.

State Senator Robert Dandridge doesn't want you to see this.

Tons of cancer-causing toxic waste dumped into our water supply every day.

Dandridge claims he's not responsible, but the truth is he voted against 34 programs

to clean up pollution affecting elementary schools all across our state.

Now it turns out Robert Dandridge took $600,000 from toxic waste companies,

then blocked enforcement from our toxic cleanup laws.

Our state deserves better.

Everybody loves carving pumpkins for Halloween.

And now with the Carvelantern Pumpkin Carving Kit, it's easier than ever before.

Children of all ages can safely design and carve their own Halloween pumpkins.

Each kit includes three different Carvelantern carving tools, plus the Carvelantern Scooper.

There are no sharp edges that can hurt little hands,

but it still cuts through pumpkins safely and smoothly.

The Carvelantern Pumpkin Carving Kit is available at Nodendrug, Herx, and Bullseye.

Twenty years ago, the Weber House in River Hill Township was the site of ghastly depravity,

a case the local police dubbed the Spirit Board Murders.

Now, WNUF-TV 28 takes you on a horrifying journey through this supposedly haunted estate.

Come with me, Frank Stewart, and a team of paranormal experts

as we seek to uncover the mystery.

There's even a call-in seance you can be a part of.

Welcome back to the WNUF Evening News.

It's that season again, folks.

No, I'm not talking about the witching season, black cats and flying broomsticks.

Nope, it's the season of political attack ads.

This year's governor's race is ramping up, and if you

just saw the new spot from incumbent Democrat Mike Barlow,

you might agree why the Dandridge campaign is crying foul.

We spoke with State Senator Robert Dandridge earlier today

to get a response to a commercial summer calling.

All the facts in my ads are entirely accurate based on the way things are.

Senator Dandridge has consistently voted against these programs in the Assembly.

He is for big business against what's good for the people.

Petty little issues and this commercial that he has running,

I want to talk about the issues that concern the residents of our state.

But if you want to talk about these little issues, these insignificant things like his infidelity,

I'm more than willing to talk about them.

Still have a lot of explaining to do.

I'm Alan Pirro, TV28.

Oh, boy, Gavin. I don't know what's scarier, that ad,

or WNUF's live broadcast from a supposedly haunted house later this evening.

That's right, Debra.

For those just tuning in, reporter Frank Stewart

has a special Halloween treat in store for viewers tonight.

He'll be leading a group of paranormal experts

through the infamous Weber House,

the site of the spirit board murders.

Now, it's an estate that's been boarded up for 20 years.

And here with all the gory details is reporter Frank Stewart,

on location in River Hill Township.

Frank, can you hear me out there?

Hello, Gavin. I can hear you loud and clear, partner.

God, hell, you are loud.

You just might raise the dead, which is what we might be doing tonight, huh?

Yeah!

So tell the folks at home what's about to transpire.

Well, witchy-poo, we are standing in front of the Weber House in River Hill Township,

the former home of Paul and Linda Weber,

who were murdered by their son Donald

over 20 years ago in this very house.

The house has laid vacant since,

kept alive only by terrifying memories

and neighborhood ghost stories.

But tonight, WNUF-TV 28 is going to take you inside

for the first time in 20 years.

We've actually assembled a team of paranormal researchers,

and we're going to be going in the house with them to unravel

the mystery and figure out if this house is, in fact, haunted.

And from what I understand, there will be a seance where viewers can call in?

Right-o, Gavin. Absolutely true.

So, are you guys going to contact Elvis?

Just for you, Deb.

Well, Frank, good luck.

If you need anything, just scream.

Nice knowing you.

But you know, Gavin,

not everyone is pleased with tonight's special presentation.

Some viewers are downright disturbed.

So in order to show we're fair and balanced,

our reporter Donna Miles recently interviewed Mrs. Angela Harris,

the leader of a group called Harvest,

a religious organization that believes any celebration of Halloween to be satanic

and inappropriate for Christians.

Is Halloween a special holiday for children to play make-believe?

Or is it the work of darker forces?

Halloween is Satan's night,

the night of the devil.

Tonight, the vortex of hell opens.

Witches, goblins, and heathens

are united to praise the Prince of Darkness.

Members of Harvest are making strong efforts to protect their community

from what they call

the dangerous nature of Halloween.

Monsters, demons, witches.

These things should not be celebrated.

They should be cast out,

destroyed.

Christians holding Halloween parties and making haunted houses for schoolchildren.

It's blasphemy.

Harvest has organized a nationwide prayer chain

devoting their spiritual energy

to the eradication of Halloween.

Do you understand what this holiday has done?

How many people are killed

in the name of Satan on Halloween?

So all of these children trick-or-treating,

you actually believe

they're in danger?

Curses have been sent.

Through the tricks and treats of the innocent.

There are goblins in the candy.

It is prayed over

and cursed by witches.

You can laugh all you want,

but Mrs. Harris

thinks we're all in danger.

Satan wants your soul.

And if you participate in Halloween,

he shall have it.

This is spiritual warfare.

The streets are the battlefields.

Be soldiers of Christ.

Stop your neighbors from celebrating Halloween.

Save their souls.

Save yours.

If you believe Mrs. Harris,

you can join her and the other members of Harvest

here at Meadow Ridge Baptist Church where they will be praying for the eradication of Halloween

every hour on the hour

until the night is over.

I'm Donna Miles, TV28.

Whew!

I think I need to go to church after that story.

Amen to that, Debra.

When we come back,

And on through the morning,

a real natural disaster on a holiday of supernatural disasters.

Hopefully, everyone can get their trick-or-treating finished up early.

Deborah?

Wow.

That certainly is a terrifying forecast, Carl.

And it couldn't be more appropriate for the scariest night of the year.

Thunder, lightning, lightning, You know, I think I'm gonna stay in,

grab a flashlight, and read scary stories to my kids.

What about you, Deb?

Oh, I'll probably just stay in

and play with my cats.

You know, I hope they're not, uh,

scaredy cats.

Oh, Gavin.

Well, on behalf of all of the pranksters here at WNUF, we want to wish you a very scary

and happy Halloween.

20 years ago, the Weber House in River Hill Township was the site of ghastly depravity.

A case the local police dubbed the Spirit Board Murders.

Now, WNUF-TV 28 takes you on a horrifying journey

through this supposedly haunted estate.

Come with me, Frank Stewart, and a team of paranormal experts as we seek to uncover the mystery.

There's even a call-in seance you can be a part of.

Tonight, we will figure out if the Weber House is really haunted,

if ghosts do exist,

and if we, the living,

must fear them.

Good evening, boils and ghouls.

Hope that Halloween candy is still flowing in your neighborhood

and that those little gremlins

haven't toilet-papered your trees or soaked your windows.

I'm Frank Stewart, and we're here in front of the infamous Weber House

where 20 years ago, Donald Weber

killed his parents after consulting a supposedly demonic board game.

A wooden spirit board

he found in the attic of this very house.

Now, the house has been vacant

since that time, and tonight we're going to go in live on television

and discover whether or not this house is in fact haunted

or whether we can put the supernatural

rumors to rest.

Now, I am not alone in my quest.

I have assembled a crack team

of paranormal investigators

who are going to join us in the house.

Also, to ensure my safety and that of my comrades,

we have our brave producer, Veronica... What on earth? My God!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh, very cute.

Very funny.

Trick or treat, Frank.

Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen,

this is our fearless producer,

Veronica Stanzi, who's obviously

gotten to the Halloween spirit herself with a few pranks there, huh?

Hope I didn't scare you too bad, Frank.

You know, actually, Veronica,

my heart's been beating a little slowly lately and you got it up to speed, so I appreciate that.

Anytime.

Now, Veronica is our

fail-safe backup

in case anything unspeakable or unusual should happen in the house.

Isn't that right?

Yes. I'll be in the newsstand checking in with Frank periodically throughout the course of the broadcast.

Okay. Thank you for your daring valor, my dear.

Okay. Well, when we come back,

we're going to talk to the paranormal... Actually, they're a husband-wife team,

Claire and Louis Berger,

and we're going to talk to... This is blasphemy!

Hey, what the hell?

Who the hell let this guy on the site?

We'll be right back.

We're back with the WNUF TV Halloween Special.

I've got to apologize for what just happened.

But, you know, it's just live television.

Anything goes on live television.

OK.

And anything goes, especially tonight as we're about to enter the Weber House.

It's been boarded up for 20 years

and WNUF TV 28 is going to take you in live

and find out whether the rumors are true,

if it's in fact haunted,

or whether it's just supernatural rumors.

Mr. Bunny,

do you know what happened here in the Weber House?

Yeah. Some people got killed.

Their son went haywire.

OK. Well, that's actually pretty accurate.

OK. Do you know what happened in the Weber House?

I know it was really gruesome and there was lots of blood and brains and everything, everywhere.

OK. And Dracula?

Somebody died in this house?

Yeah.

Well, that's why we're here.

OK.

Well, for the actual gruesome facts,

take a look at this.

It all started in the summer of 1967.

Teenager Donald Weber discovered an old wooden spirit board in

the attic of the new house he and his family had just moved into.

The spirit board,

a device critics believe opens a doorway to both spirits and demons,

quickly became Donald's obsession.

Over the course of the next few months,

Donald's fixation with the occult skyrocketed

and his use of the game

became a daily routine.

In his later court testimonies, Weber claimed that spirits from the board were contacting him,

demanding that he commit serious criminal acts.

Vandalism, theft,

and even murder.

And then one fateful night in September 1967,

Donald Weber took an axe,

creeped into his parents' bedroom

and decapitated them.

Weber called the police himself

and when authorities arrived,

they found young Donald

sitting on the curb,

mumbling about how the demons made him do it.

He was convicted of first-degree murder

and executed in 1981.

But since these heinous crimes,

no one ever moved back into the accursed Weber house.

Local eccentrics believe it to be haunted,

an actual passageway between our world and the spirit world.

A building where demons and spooks can roam free

and threaten the lives of the living.

Local law enforcement continues to get calls about disturbances on the grounds.

One officer we spoke to refused to let us show his face.

I've been a cop in River Hill Township for about 26 years and during that time I've seen a lot of things.

Some pretty horrific things

but nothing sends chills up my spine like going in that house.

So we get a call there one night

and I go in the house and I'm checking around and it was a disturbance call

and I'm looking around

and this woman comes towards me only she's not walking,

she's floating.

And as she gets closer

all of a sudden her head falls off and hits the floor.

I blink my eyes and she's gone.

I walk outside and there's the entire squad looking at me.

The sergeant comes up to me and he says now what you've seen we've all seen

and we don't talk about it.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not

it's safe to say this place sure feels haunted.

How about that, huh?

I'm going to ask some questions of our crowd here.

Sir, tell me, do you believe in ghosts?

No, but I know who to call if there are.

And who would that be?

Ghostbusters.

Sir, do you believe in ghosts?

Well, I know that there's Casper the friendly ghost, but...

You know, that wasn't a real ghost that was a fictional ghost.

I'm sorry if you didn't realize that I don't mean to burst your bubble.

You ma'am, do you believe in ghosts?

Hi.

What was the question?

The question was

that I've been asking everyone here

for a while

is do you believe in ghosts?

Yeah, well, no.

Yes, well, no.

Like friendly kinds.

Like happy ghosts.

You know, like when your grandmother passes away, but my

mom told me she would always be there to look after me.

Like she's happy.

And you believed her when she said that?

Well, I mean, I like to.

I think so.

And they gave your dog away to a farm where it could be happy, right?

Oh, no, I didn't have a dog.

All right, thank you.

Tell me, do you believe in ghosts?

Yes, I do.

Do you?

And why? Have you ever seen one?

Yes, I've seen one.

Really? Could you tell us about it quickly?

It was a guy in a top hat.

A top hat?

A top hat.

Did he have a bullet hole?

Did he have a beard?

Abe Lincoln?

In a top hat you saw it.

Okay, so you actually do believe and you've seen.

Okay, sir in the back, do you believe in ghosts?

Yes.

All right, I'm going to take that as a yes.

When we come back, I'm going to introduce you to Lewis and Claire Berger,

the noted paranormal husband-wife team

that's going to join us when we enter the Weber house.

I'm Frank Stewart.

We'll be right back.

You're watching the WNUF Halloween Special.

Welcome back to the WNUF-TV 28 Halloween Special.

I'm Frank Stewart

and I'm standing next to the noted paranormal team

of Dr. Louis Berger

and his wife Claire.

They have over 30 years of experience

investigating paranormal happenings

all over the country.

Leading, leading experts in the field.

They're going to be going in the house with us tonight and welcome to you both.

Nice to see you.

Thank you for having us.

Thanks Frank, it's great to be here.

Great, thank you.

Now listen, we're about to enter the house but before we do that,

earlier this week we had a chance to sit down

and talk to the Bergers.

They talked about their extensive history with the occult.

It is truly, truly fascinating stuff.

Watch this.

What would you say if I told you that you could make a living talking to the dead?

Well that's just what Louis and Claire Berger do.

This husband and wife team travels the country helping residents

rid their homes of hostile ghosts and malevolent hauntings.

It all started in 1954

when the Bergers founded the Massachusetts Center for Psychic Phenomena.

Claire, a world-renowned spirit medium met the young Louis Berger,

a recent Korean war veteran who had a growing fascination with the occult.

Together they founded the Boston Museum of the Paranormal

and began their careers as investigators of the supernatural.

Over the years they have documented nationally recognized cases of ghosts,

demons, poltergeists and even visitors from other dimensions.

With the help of their four-legged friend,

their cat Shadow,

Louis and Claire have made names for themselves with their controversial cases.

Whether you believe in an afterlife or not,

there is no doubt that Louis and Claire Berger are the leading experts in this field.

They have worked on over 216 cases of spirit infestation in the last 10 years alone.

And tonight they will be leading our way into the Weber House.

Louis, Claire, is it okay if I call you Louis?

I would prefer Dr. Berger.

Okay, Dr. Berger it is.

Dr. Berger, Claire, again, thank you for aiding in our quest tonight.

Well, thank you, Frank.

It's really wonderful to be here.

Thank you.

Now, Dr. Berger, let me start with you.

What exactly are ghosts?

Who are these tortured souls that come back,

interfering in the lives,

trying to disrupt people's lives?

What are they?

Well, Frank, while the physical body may cease to function,

there's another part of the being

that continues to remain,

an inner spirit, intellect, ego, soul.

When the death comes in a very emotional way,

horrendous events, such as murder or suicide,

the soul can swell with pain

and sometimes... Swell, actually swell.

Yes.

My wife and I really contend

that this is a psychic-emotional projection.

So the more violent the death,

the more volatile the ghost.

This should be a very interesting evening.

I can share that with you.

There's some far-out stuff.

Now, Claire, you're a spirit medium,

which means that you use your psychic abilities for what?

Well, I can communicate with these spirits

that have not been able to cross over.

I've had this ability since I was a very young child.

I noticed auras around people.

They had different colors if they were telling the truth or if they were lying.

But I've been able to do that

from a very young age.

Do you see an aura here?

Yes, I do.

A good aura?

I see an aura.

You see an aura, okay.

That's interesting.

Let me ask you a question.

Has anyone ever called you

Claire the Clairvoyant?

No.

I see you brought with you your feline partner.

Good term, Frank.

Shadow is more than a partner.

He's the third member of our team.

Very, very sensitive.

He's like my wife.

A very pretty pussy.

Thank you.

So it's really a member of your team,

not just a family pet.

That's right.

Shadow has extrasensory perception.

You've heard of that, but it's in a different sense.

The cat has extrasensory perception?

Yes. I rely very heavily on the intuition and the energy I receive from Shadow.

He is able to sense things

before I do.

He is very important.

We're sure glad you brought him along.

I can tell you, Frank,

he's nervous right now.

We haven't even entered the house, though, Doctor.

That's why he's clairvoyant.

Some crazy stuff there.

We're about to, in a few moments,

go inside the Weber house.

Remember, this is at a house

where Donald Weber murdered his parents 20 years ago.

No one's been inside.

We're about to go in.

What the hell was that?

Tom, did you get that?

I don't know if you saw that, but when I turned around here,

there was something flashed

up in that window right there.

There was something, a flash, or something passed by that window.

No member of our crew was up there.

We haven't entered the building yet,

and we're going to get to the bottom of it when we come back.

I'm Frank Stewart.

We'll be right back.

I never wanted to be governor,

but when I saw what our current governor, Mike Barlow, is doing to our beautiful state,

something had to be done.

This fall,

vote Robert Dandridge for governor.

on WNUF-TV 28.

You're watching the WNUF Halloween Special.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have sent the audience home

because we are about to crack open the doors

to the Weber House.

Remember, this house has been vacant for 20 years,

and for the first time,

we're about to go inside.

What horrible secrets will we uncover?

What strange apparitions lurk behind this doorway?

Let's find out right now.

Okay.

Is the door... Okay, we're going in.

Okay.

It's dank.

It's musty.

We've got leaves all over the floor here.

We've got pieces of wood.

We've got some old furniture.

We've got a chandelier, if you can see down there on the floor.

Across on the... Did you hear that?

It came from upstairs, Frank.

Or maybe it's my producer playing another prank on me.

Hey, Veronica?

Is there anybody upstairs?

Nothing. Anyway.

Now, Claire, tell me.

You feeling anything?

Ghost talking to you?

Tell me.

Give me a moment.

It'll take a minute.

It'll take a minute?

It takes a minute.

Well, give us your initial impressions.

My initial impression...

There's someone here.

There's someone here.

It's a terrible feeling.

It's terrible.

It's overwhelming.

It's overwhelming and terrible.

It's horrible.

It's horrible.

It's full of malevolence.

It's not Donald.

It's not his parents.

Oh, my.

It's pure evil.

Claire, are we in danger here?

We're not safe.

And maybe that will translate to some good ratings.

Now, let me... Oh, no.

The cats run up the stairs and Shadow has just apparently

sensed something and the burgers are following the cat.

Okay.

Obviously, something's sensed by the cat and they're going to check that out.

Now, around every corner

is a sinister presence.

A diabolical twist

on the tangled story

of murder and madness

that was spawned right inside this house.

Did evil demons command a Donald Weber

to do their bidding?

And if so,

are those demons still trapped inside this house?

Now, who better to know the nature of demons

than a respected member of the clergy?

Ask and you shall receive, I always say.

So tonight, WNUF-TV has invited Father Joseph Matheson

to join us.

Father Matheson is not only

a respected Catholic priest,

but he is also, and perhaps more important tonight,

trained in the practice of exorcism.

Father, could you please come out and join us in here?

Father, thank you for being with us tonight.

Really, it's wonderful to have you here.

Glad to be here, Mr. Stewart.

Stewart? Oh, you can call me Frank.

Now, Father, let me ask you a question.

Is it possible

that this house that we're in

is possessed by demons?

Well,

you know, evil works

in mysterious ways, Frank.

It's unpredictable.

It's scary.

See, these demons exist for the one sole purpose

of undermining the faith in the one true God.

And they cause these otherwise good people

to do terrible things.

That's far out.

Now, Father, let me get this straight.

You are, in fact,

trained in the art of exorcism.

Am I correct?

Well, it's part of our arsenal.

I mean, whether it's a wedding ceremony or a baptism or last rites,

knowing how to perform

an exorcism is part of what makes us a priest.

So do you take a course in this, or how does that work?

It's all part of what happens at the monastery, yes.

All at the monastery.

Now, did you do well in your training?

Did he give you some ideas?

I mean, as far as this is concerned,

I would have to say.

I've never had to perform one yet.

Well, Father, I hope you don't have to tonight, but I've got to tell you,

there is something strange going on in this house.

You just might have to do that tonight, Father.

Well, we'll have to see about that.

I mean, the Church rarely grants such a request.

But, you know, you don't think of the publicity, huh?

Hey, listen, let's go to our producer Veronica in the news Van.

Veronica, how are we doing out there?

Well, the weatherman was right, Frank.

There's a storm a-brewin'.

It's a perfect night for ghosts and goblins.

Hope you closed all your windows because it's about to rain something awful.

Frank?

Thanks, Veronica.

When we come back, we're going to find out what the burgers

have discovered upstairs and what their cats sensed.

And later, we're going to go down to the basement

where the bodies were found.

I'm Frank Stewart. We'll be right back.

This Wednesday on a very special King of Kessel Lane.

Expect!

Expect!

Unexpected.

Unexpected, like a summer cold.

Uncle Jack was drinking something that looked like medicine.

You drank a bottle of vanilla extract.

I'm sorry.

Did you want some?

You have a drinking problem, Jack.

I don't have a drinking...

Do kids go to parties?

What kind of games do you think they're playing?

I think it's no big deal.

Just harmless fun where everyone gets a turn.

But they never bothered to check the rules and think they can stop any time they want.

There's many ways to play,

but they all lead to the same result.

Game over.

Playing with drugs is playing with death.

Ladies and gentlemen,

during the commercial break,

the Bergers have made a startling discovery.

Actual sound evidence of the existence of a paranormal entity in this house.

Now, Dr. Berger, could you explain the process here?

Well, it's called EVP, Frank.

It's called electronic voice phenomenon.

EVP.

I have felt the presence in this house, this evil presence.

I feel it all around.

It doesn't want us here.

It's very angry.

It's very upset.

But now, with the EVP,

we have audible proof of the feelings that I am having,

the sensory that I'm getting.

So this is sort of confirmation of what you've been feeling as soon as you entered the house.

Yes, absolutely, Frank.

Now, Dr., could you explain how this works?

Well, Frank, the first thing we did, we set up the recording equipment.

And then we asked a question.

Let me just play it back for you.

You'll get the whole idea, okay?

Okay.

Now listen close.

Are there any spirits in the house that would like to talk with us tonight?

Did you hear that?

Did you hear the voice?

I did hear something.

Did you hear what it said?

I couldn't quite tell what it said.

It said, leave.

I heard something.

Let me play it again for you, okay?

It's in the house that would like to talk with us tonight.

You had to hear that.

Did you hear it?

I did hear it.

I have to admit, I heard it.

Yes, leave.

Frank, I have to ask you.

Has your producer found Shadow yet?

This is very unusual for him.

It is unusual, and I know it is.

And I know you're very concerned, but I'm sure Veronica would have let me know.

So I'm going to have to assume that the crew is still looking for the cat.

I'm sure they'll find it.

I'll tell you, I have a very bad feeling,

a very bad aura.

There's a bad aura going on here.

And I think it would be most wise

if Father Matheson immediately performed an exorcism.

I think it's very imperative.

Well, I understand your feeling,

Claire, and how strong it is.

But look, I think it might be better

if we actually haven't even been downstairs to the basement yet.

And if there's one place here that's haunted, it's where the bodies were disposed of.

So why don't we go downstairs

and see how you feel, Claire, when you get down there, and who knows, maybe the cat's there,

and go down to the actual basement

where the bodies of Donald Weber's parents were found.

Okay, we're heading down to the basement now.

Now, this is a true dungeon of unspeakable horror.

This is the very room where Donald Weber

disposed of the bodies of his parents after he murdered them and decapitated them.

And let me ask you this, Claire.

After listening to the EVP recordings,

after getting the feelings that you had downstairs,

and even upstairs, do you think that there are demonic entities in this house?

Oh, Frank, it is a...

Let's keep walking, yeah.

A certainty.

A certainty.

There is no question in my mind,

in my heart, in all the senses that I have, my extra senses,

there is evil.

As we get to the basement, you're feeling it.

I am feeling it.

Wait, whoa, hold on!

This is not staged.

What we just heard

came from the area

where we just were.

And instead of going downstairs,

let's go back and see exactly what that noise was.

Come on.

You got me, guys?

Alright, we're going back down here.

We're going back...

Actually... You with us?

Okay, can you...

Can you get the cameras in here so we can get some light?

Can you get in here, Tom?

Oh my God, what happened?

Oh my God, look at this!

Oh my God, look at this!

Alright, everybody.

I don't know what happened. Everybody relax.

Listen, we're going to get to the bottom of this when we come back.

And then we're going to go down to the basement

where Donald Weber disposed of his parents' bodies.

I'm Frank Stewart.

We'll be right back.

Okay, alright.

Relax, come on.

Welcome back

to the WNUF Halloween Special.

I'm producer Veronica Stanzi.

What you just witnessed before the commercial break was unscripted and not planned.

However, the show must go on

and in just a few moments

your host, Frank Stewart

and his team of experts

will conduct the first ever live on TV seance.

Viewers, feel free to call in on the number below.

And without further ado,

here's Frank.

Okay, thank you, Veronica.

You know, we've had a lot of wild experiences in this house tonight but none is to compare

to the one that we're about to experience.

I am sitting next to Claire Berger,

noted psychic expert,

who will be fielding your calls

and relaying them and answering the questions that you have of the entities in this house.

Okay, Claire, is anyone out there?

There is someone here.

They're ready to talk.

Okay, then.

Let's open up the lines

for our first caller.

Okay, anyone?

Come on, send your calls in.

This is your opportunity to participate in the first

live on TV seance.

We're waiting for your calls.

Okay, we've got our first caller.

It's Ian from Fairview.

Okay, Ian?

All right, let's take a listen.

Ian?

Go ahead with your question.

Iron Maiden rules!

White Lion sucks!

Woo!

Okay, I really don't understand that.

It's obviously some kind of crank call.

Listen, people, this is a very serious thing.

We've got one of the experts in the world.

This is the first live on TV seance.

Please let's not waste her time or our time

and call in with your real questions

for the entities in this house.

I have a question for you, Frank.

Yes?

Who broke my recording?

Who's paying for the goddamn thing?

Well, it seemed like a demonic entity did it, Dr. Berger.

And as far as the payment,

as I said before repeatedly,

we'll discuss that with my producer afterwards.

We'll figure that out.

Just relax.

Let's get into the mood of the seance, okay?

Difficult without the cat.

Difficult without the cat, without the equipment.

All right, let's get back to the seance.

Okay, caller, we've got another.

We've got Fran from Chestertown here, okay?

Let's play it.

Let's go to Fran.

Okay, what's your question?

Ian, I was wondering if you could contact my dead grandmother and call her a bitch.

Okay, all right, stop.

First of all, with the language, okay, we're on television here.

Seriously, we've got to have questions about the entities in this house,

not your dead grandparents, okay?

So let's be serious.

Let's get some real calls in here, okay?

Call in right now.

We've got Claire Berger here.

She's ready to channel those questions.

Okay, come on.

Let's get the calls in.

Frank?

Yeah, can I ask her a question?

Oh, sure.

Claire, now these spirits,

these beings that you're in contact with,

do you know who they are?

And do you know what they want?

Justice.

Justice.

There's a deep,

deep sense of betrayal.

This entity or entity have been wronged.

Amen.

They feel deeply, deeply betrayed.

Did you have any sense, Claire,

of how old these spirits might be?

Older.

Older, okay.

Well, could it be Paul and Linda Weber?

It's... It's possible.

Now, Claire,

you mentioned justice.

Could it be

that Donald Weber

did not kill his parents,

that somehow he was framed

and that the real killer is still out there?

It's not that simple, Frank.

It comes in spurts.

It's organic.

Look, the viewers want to know.

We just want to hear from Claire.

It's not clear.

I am not getting a clear vision.

There is too much energy.

They're conflicting with one another.

I cannot get a clear reading on this one.

I need my hat.

I need shadow.

I understand.

We're going to find shadow somewhere.

Stop with the equipment.

We've got another caller here.

Anonymous.

We have a caller who wants to be anonymous and we're going to Grant that request.

Go ahead, anonymous caller.

This is blasphemy!

You're all going to burn in the fiery pits of hell!

Thank you for that comment.

Listen, Claire,

why don't we approach this another way?

Let me ask you a question.

Do any of these spirits in the house, might they have any good stock tips,

lucky lottery numbers, that kind of thing?

Frank, this is not funny.

This is not a joke.

I am not suggesting it's a joke.

I'm just trying to find out...

Shadow!

Shadow!

Shadow, where are you?

He doesn't sound good.

We'll be right back.

You're watching the WNUF Halloween Special.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is not a stunt.

This is not some Halloween prank.

The grisly evidence of the supernatural is real.

An evil force inside this house

murdered the Berger's family pet,

their partner in their investigative paranormal team.

Now, Lewis and Claire

have left the house.

They are upset. They are grieving.

I understand their pain.

But folks, this is not show business.

This is the paranormal.

Now, Father,

do you now believe that there are demonic entities inside this house?

Father?

Is this the work of the devil?

I don't know.

Well, Father,

in the last year or so, there's been a big increase in

the amount of satanic activity throughout the country,

but especially in this area itself.

You have pagan vandalism,

animal sacrifices,

that sort of thing.

Wouldn't you agree that's been on the rise?

Okay.

Well, recently WNUF TV

did a special report

on the cases of devil worship in the area.

Now, I have to warn you,

some of the parts of the story are a bit intense,

so our more sensitive viewers, if you're watching with your kids,

to change the channel for just a bit,

but make sure to come back to us.

The rest of you, check this out.

Satanism. Devil worship.

Right here in our town?

Local police have been weary to investigate reports of animal mutilation

and graveyard vandalism

as ritualistic acts of evil.

And we are just as weary to report them as news.

But you can't ignore the dozens of cases that have been

popping up all over River Hill Township over the past year,

from the blood-red spray paints across local businesses to the scene here at St. Peter's in Chestertown,

where someone left a dead dog carcass on the front steps of this church.

It was horrible.

I came in on Saturday morning to clean the church,

and someone had taken this poor dog,

all cut up, gutted,

laid out right there on the altar.

But are these violent and disturbing crimes

evidence of a larger-scale operation that includes satanic worship and the occult?

Many in our community seem to think so,

including County Councilman Ray Thompson.

Let me tell you something.

These kids nowadays,

they're scared.

They're vulnerable.

I mean, you turn on the TV,

you listen to the radio, there's all these songs about I love Satan and the Devil.

I mean, it's no wonder to me

that these kids are staying out late.

They're drinking.

Next thing you know, they think it's perfectly fine to go down

to the neighborhood church and paint funny symbols on the walls.

Then they start cutting up animals.

Councilman Thompson reinforces a sentiment across the country.

National reports of satanic activity are on the rise.

Recently, a Pittsburgh college student

was found guilty of murdering his girlfriend because,

in his words,

the Devil had instructed him to do so.

A similar case in Dayton, Ohio,

where a female volunteer at a local animal shelter

sacrificed 19 stray cats

in an attempt to get closer to a being she referred to only as the Dark Lord.

It's difficult to fathom these unspeakable acts happening in our city,

but local police have asked all residents to keep an

eye out and report any activity that could be considered

cult-related.

I'm Veronica Stanzi, TV28.

Now that's stuff.

That's scary.

Father?

Father,

if I were to ask you to perform an exorcism,

could you do it?

Would you do it?

Mr. Stewart,

Frank,

as I've stated before,

in theory, yes, I could.

The question is, would I?

As I have stated before, the church rarely grants such a request.

Father, there is obviously negative energy in this house.

Claire felt it, the cat felt it, I felt it, certainly you must feel it.

I think it would be in our best interest to call the police in for an investigation.

Father, you can't put handcuffs on a ghost.

I mean, are we even on the same page here?

Do you think there are demonic entities in this house?

It is possible.

Now, Father,

we only have so much time left in this broadcast, and I think

it's important that we do something to protect ourselves.

And in that vein, I am asking you, no, I am begging you, Father,

will you perform an exorcism on this house, please?

All right.

I will perform an exorcism.

Okay.

When we come back, the brave Father Matheson is going to perform an exorcism on the Weber house

and rid it of the demonic spirits that are present.

I'm Frank Stewart. Stay tuned.

Why is life so tough?

When will I find love?

How am I going to pay these bills?

Why can't all my problems go away?

You've been looking for the answers.

You think you've found one.

You haven't.

Not everybody's problems have the same right answer.

But they all have the same wrong one.

Suicide is never the answer.

If you're thinking about suicide,

call us at Lifeline.

We're here 24 hours a day, completely anonymous.

Let a stranger be a friend.

You're watching the WNUF Halloween special.

We have moved down to the basement of the Weber House.

This is the very site where Donald Weber

disposed of the decapitated bodies of his parents.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have seen some extraordinary things tonight.

Paranormal disturbances.

Animal mutilation.

Crimes so heinous and terrifying

that some of our guests have even left the program.

Folks, the Weber House is haunted.

Haunted by demonic forces

that want nothing more than to drive us, the living,

to the point of madness.

It is with that in mind that I stand here

with Father Joseph Matheson

who's going to perform an exorcism

live on television in just a few moments.

Now, Father, I see you've got your Bible with you.

Are you ready to perform the exorcism?

You know, Frank,

this may not be the best night for an exorcism.

There is evil in this house, Father, and we must get rid of the evil.

Perform the exorcism.

It is time.

That's why you're here.

Perform the exorcism.

All right.

Name of the Father

and the Son.

Hold it.

Great Father,

hold on.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, is somebody up there?

Is somebody?

Hello?

Jesus Christ, it's locked.

Hello, is somebody in there?

Somebody?

Wait.

Hold on, Veronica.

What?

What's that?

Did Louis and Claire come back in?

What?

What? I can hardly hear you.

There is such a... What are you talking about?

They're not down here.

Veronica, Veronica, Veronica.

Get someone up here to open this goddamn door.

Now, something's going on.

Veronica.

Frank, we're sending in another camera right now.

We'll be right back after a quick commercial break.

You're watching the WNUF Halloween Special.

Good evening, my minions.

It's me,

Dr. Bloodwrench.

I hope Frank Stewart's Halloween Special

isn't scaring you too badly,

because coming up next,

we're watching Monsters Invade the Wax Museum.

So chomp down on all of that trick-or-treat candy and tune in next week for another Halloween Special.

Tune in.

You're watching the WNUF Halloween Special.

Welcome back.

We're about to go back into the house with a third camera.

Our brave intern, Connor,

has agreed to go behind the lens

for a video tour into the house.

Connor, how's it going?

Frank, you need to get out of the house immediately.

Believe me, sugar, we'd love to,

but I can't get the goddamn door open.

What the hell is going on up there?

There's someone upstairs.

We're going to commercial.

Oh, the hell we are, folks.

Folks, we are going where no camera crew has gone before.

Father, perform the exorcism.

We're calling the police, Frank.

Just break down the door and get out of there.

Perform the exorcism.

I am not a priest.

I am a fucking actor.

You shut the hell up, you ungrateful shit.

Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back with us going to go to a quick commercial.

Veronica, wait, wait.

The door's open.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're going to commercial.

We'll be right back.

You like being on TV, Mr. Stewart?

Well, this is our show.

But don't worry.

We still brought all your guests.

Are you ready for your close-up?

What the fuck is this all about?

What?

Lady, all of you.

Don't get my face.

What do you want?

Can't we work something out?

Please?

I told you, Mr. Stewart.

You are the devil.

Cut it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cut it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

On behalf of all your friends at WNUF-TV 28,

we wish you a very happy Halloween.

Yeah.

WNUF Evening News

with your hosts, Gavin Gordon and Deborah Merritt.

Good evening.

It's been a rough week for staff here at WNUF.

Local law enforcement are still looking

for missing news reporter Frank Stewart

and his guests,

paranormal experts Claire and Lewis Berger

and actor Brandon Shuler.

The group was last seen

in the live televised broadcast that WNUF ran on Halloween night.

It all happened at the infamous Weber House

in River Hill Township.

Now, many viewers and many of the staff here

at WNUF itself

believe the evening to be a hoax.

But after five days without any answers,

nobody's laughing.

Well, Christmas is right around the corner

and local food banks are...
