Stay away from it. 41 00:02:31,517 --> 00:02:35,103 [Dominic] Aokigahara literally translates as the "field of green trees". 42 00:02:35,103 --> 00:02:38,689 This forest is also known as the Jukai, the "sea of trees". 43 00:02:39,965 --> 00:02:44,068 Many people go and commit suicide typically by hanging 44 00:02:44,068 --> 00:02:47,793 or also by prescription drug overdose. 45 00:02:47,793 --> 00:02:52,068 Officials have stopped publicizing the numbers so as to not encourage 46 00:02:52,068 --> 00:02:56,000 more people to go there, but it really has become a magnet for suicides. 47 00:03:02,689 --> 00:03:04,137 [William] At the entrance to the park, 48 00:03:04,137 --> 00:03:06,862 signs are posted advising those who enter the forest 49 00:03:06,862 --> 00:03:10,586 with suicidal thoughts to stop and turn back. 50 00:03:12,241 --> 00:03:15,344 It is a warning meant to prevent people from being swallowed up 51 00:03:15,344 --> 00:03:19,000 by the darkness of this place. 52 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,793 A darkness from which there is no return. 53 00:03:24,482 --> 00:03:28,310 These signs tell people, "Please don't commit suicide, think of your parents, 54 00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:29,655 think of your family." 55 00:03:29,655 --> 00:03:32,068 They give you information on who to call if you need some help. 56 00:03:33,448 --> 00:03:36,896 So, it's very clear that this is a concern of theirs. 57 00:03:36,896 --> 00:03:38,413 They know it's a problem. 58 00:03:38,413 --> 00:03:42,241 And they ask you, please, don't do this. 59 00:03:43,517 --> 00:03:45,310 And you'll see those signs everywhere, 60 00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:48,413 which remind you of how prevalent the problem is. 61 00:03:50,448 --> 00:03:53,965 [Dominic] Aokigahara is also a non-camping forest, 62 00:03:53,965 --> 00:03:56,000 so camping is strictly forbidden. 63 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,413 Yet, people who contemplate suicide 64 00:03:59,275 --> 00:04:00,655 sometimes bring their tents. 65 00:04:02,103 --> 00:04:04,241 We do have lots of these traces 66 00:04:04,241 --> 00:04:07,034 of the departed that remain in the forest. 67 00:04:07,034 --> 00:04:11,689 From personal effects to thread marking the paths. 68 00:04:11,689 --> 00:04:14,413 Part of the mistake of Suicide Forest is quite often, 69 00:04:14,413 --> 00:04:17,206 people who want to commit suicide will wear these ribbons 70 00:04:17,206 --> 00:04:18,482 because they haven't figured out 71 00:04:18,482 --> 00:04:20,689 whether they really want to do it or not. 72 00:04:20,689 --> 00:04:23,034 So, they'll tie the ribbon, and if they change their mind, 73 00:04:23,034 --> 00:04:24,689 they could find their way out. 74 00:04:25,689 --> 00:04:27,137 But if they don't change their mind... 75 00:04:28,275 --> 00:04:30,206 at the end of that ribbon, you may find a body. 76 00:04:33,413 --> 00:04:36,068 [William] The Suicide Forest has one of the highest suicide rates 77 00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:37,137 of anywhere in the world. 78 00:04:38,758 --> 00:04:43,379 But unlike other such places like the Golden Gate Bridge 79 00:04:44,206 --> 00:04:46,000 or Niagara Falls, 80 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,724 where people jump to their deaths... 81 00:04:48,724 --> 00:04:51,482 Here they come to experience a different 82 00:04:51,482 --> 00:04:56,379 and arguably more disturbing method of release. 83 00:04:57,931 --> 00:04:59,310 In Japanese belief, 84 00:04:59,310 --> 00:05:05,482 any person who dies has to receive a proper, um, ritual treatment 85 00:05:05,482 --> 00:05:09,655 in order to transition to the world of the dead. 86 00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:16,655 If they don't receive this very specific, generally, Buddhist rights, 87 00:05:16,655 --> 00:05:20,310 there's a belief that the soul of the deceased person 88 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:23,793 will linger in the physical plane of existence. 89 00:05:27,172 --> 00:05:29,068 If someone commits suicide on the spot, 90 00:05:29,068 --> 00:05:33,482 it's believed that the yurei, the ghost will be hanging around that spot 91 00:05:33,482 --> 00:05:36,241 where they committed suicide. They're tied to it, there. 92 00:05:36,241 --> 00:05:41,896 So, it becomes a potential dangerous spot if other people are just walking through it. 93 00:05:43,344 --> 00:05:45,793 They can get lured by theyurei 94 00:05:45,793 --> 00:05:47,862 who's gonna influence them somehow 95 00:05:47,862 --> 00:05:49,655 to commit suicide themselves. 96 00:05:53,965 --> 00:05:55,965 Aokigahara becoming a suicide spot 97 00:05:55,965 --> 00:05:57,586 is a relatively recent phenomenon 98 00:05:57,586 --> 00:05:59,931 that started in the 1960s. 99 00:05:59,931 --> 00:06:03,827 It can be traced back to a novel called the Tower of Waves, 100 00:06:03,827 --> 00:06:06,275 in which two of the main protagonists 101 00:06:06,275 --> 00:06:08,965 could not live out their love, 102 00:06:08,965 --> 00:06:13,482 and then decided to commit suicide together in this forest. 103 00:06:13,482 --> 00:06:17,551 This is one of the reasons why the forest became a very famous suicide spot. 104 00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:25,103 [David] It's rather strange that they say around a hundred bodies a year 105 00:06:25,103 --> 00:06:27,517 are found in that place. 106 00:06:27,517 --> 00:06:31,137 And it begs the question, "Is there something about the place itself 107 00:06:31,137 --> 00:06:33,724 that attracts people to go there to commit suicide?" 108 00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:38,655 [George] It probably started off as just a dense force, 109 00:06:38,655 --> 00:06:42,103 but as more and more people kill themselves in this place, 110 00:06:42,103 --> 00:06:45,034 I think the evil permeates all over the place, 111 00:06:45,034 --> 00:06:47,862 and it's probably affecting people who go in there. 112 00:06:49,862 --> 00:06:54,206 [William] Evil? Permeating the atmosphere? 113 00:06:54,206 --> 00:06:58,965 Could such an extraordinary and frightening notion be true? 114 00:07:00,724 --> 00:07:03,172 I think everybody has gone to a certain spot, 115 00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:04,793 and they feel uncomfortable with it. 116 00:07:05,655 --> 00:07:08,000 They just don't know exactly why, 117 00:07:08,931 --> 00:07:10,896 but they just don't feel right. 118 00:07:10,896 --> 00:07:13,379 They feel like something's wrong here. 119 00:07:13,379 --> 00:07:15,448 This doesn't feel good to me. 120 00:07:15,448 --> 00:07:17,586 It's kind of evil. 121 00:07:17,586 --> 00:07:22,344 There are certain regions that have had bad things happen to it, 122 00:07:22,344 --> 00:07:23,517 and you could feel it. 123 00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:28,241 We have to realize that the human body is one of the most 124 00:07:28,241 --> 00:07:30,379 ultimate pieces of scientific equipment. 125 00:07:30,379 --> 00:07:33,620 You have so many different types of sensors on your body. 126 00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:37,034 You can see, smell, hear, taste, feel. 127 00:07:37,034 --> 00:07:40,862 And all that information that you're receiving from your environment 128 00:07:40,862 --> 00:07:45,689 causes you to feel the way you do at any given second. 129 00:07:45,689 --> 00:07:48,758 So, if your body is not feeling right, 130 00:07:48,758 --> 00:07:51,724 and your brain is telling you something's not right here, 131 00:07:51,724 --> 00:07:54,862 it is possible that it is an evil location, right? 132 00:07:58,827 --> 00:08:03,517 [William] In recent years, scientists studying the morbid phenomenon of Japan's 133 00:08:03,517 --> 00:08:08,068 so-called Suicide Forest have suggested that the answer to the mystery 134 00:08:08,068 --> 00:08:12,172 might be not a paranormal one but geological. 135 00:08:13,551 --> 00:08:16,137 One of the really interesting things about Suicide Forest 136 00:08:16,137 --> 00:08:18,000 is it didn't exist 137 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,827 until the last massive eruption of Mount Fuji, 138 00:08:22,827 --> 00:08:24,620 which is more than a thousand years ago. 139 00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:29,931 And that's what laid out this enormous bed of lava that eventually hardened. 140 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,310 There are chambers within the ground, and in these chambers 141 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:39,931 is where people will go into and commit suicides. 142 00:08:39,931 --> 00:08:42,034 Some of them will just take pills and lie down, 143 00:08:42,034 --> 00:08:46,206 and eventually, you'll find a body inside one of these chambers. 144 00:08:46,206 --> 00:08:51,275 There's a possibility that the volcanic region, the rocks, the basalt, 145 00:08:51,275 --> 00:08:55,793 might have some sort of piezo-electric type material within them 146 00:08:55,793 --> 00:08:58,931 that could generate electric and magnetic fields. 147 00:08:58,931 --> 00:09:05,172 And it's also known that electromagnetic fields do impact the brain activity. 148 00:09:05,172 --> 00:09:08,172 I would think from the evidence that this geomagnetic field 149 00:09:08,172 --> 00:09:10,689 is having some impact on mass depression. 150 00:09:12,379 --> 00:09:14,379 The connection between magnetic anomalies 151 00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:16,172 and chemical reactions in the brain 152 00:09:16,172 --> 00:09:18,137 could lead to a type of depression 153 00:09:18,137 --> 00:09:20,655 that would enhance suicide. 154 00:09:20,655 --> 00:09:24,413 You can imagine a person who is suicidal or thinking about suicide, 155 00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:27,379 but is fundamentally uncomfortable of the idea, 156 00:09:27,379 --> 00:09:29,310 moving into one of these areas, 157 00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:32,379 and this interaction makes them just comfortable enough 158 00:09:32,379 --> 00:09:34,517 that now, they will carry through on the suicide. 159 00:09:39,172 --> 00:09:42,103 [William] Could hundreds of ritual suicides 160 00:09:42,103 --> 00:09:45,241 really be the result of magnetic anomalies in the brain... 161 00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:50,482 caused by the unique properties of volcanic rock? 162 00:09:51,586 --> 00:09:55,344 Or as many Japanese themselves believe, 163 00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:59,172 could the cause be something even more incredible? 164 00:10:02,379 --> 00:10:04,000 There's an old saying that says, 165 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,896 "What we do in life echoes in eternity." 166 00:10:06,896 --> 00:10:09,344 If we have a forest where hundreds of people 167 00:10:09,344 --> 00:10:14,068 have gone to that forest to commit suicide for over 60 years, 168 00:10:14,068 --> 00:10:18,206 could the dark energy of all of the departed souls be lurking there? 169 00:10:18,206 --> 00:10:23,517 And could that energy be what is attracting people to come to the forest? 170 00:10:26,241 --> 00:10:32,172 [William] Tragic souls of the departed luring others in to join them. 171 00:10:32,172 --> 00:10:37,310 A far-fetched notion, perhaps, but no more bizarre than what has been happening 172 00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:42,551 at the Aokigahara Forest for the past six decades. 173 00:10:42,551 --> 00:10:48,068 And no less disturbing than what happened to a group of hikers on a mountain top, 174 00:10:48,068 --> 00:10:50,517 nearly 4,000 miles away. 175 00:10:50,517 --> 00:10:54,896 A mountain that the locals have named "Don't Go There". 176 00:11:03,344 --> 00:11:05,034 [William] January 1959... 177 00:11:07,379 --> 00:11:10,862 Nine mountaineers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute 178 00:11:10,862 --> 00:11:14,482 embarked on a perilous journey through Russia's Ural Mountains. 179 00:11:15,172 --> 00:11:16,034 Their destination? 180 00:11:17,206 --> 00:11:21,206 A remote mountain peak known as Otorten, 181 00:11:21,206 --> 00:11:24,724 which in the local Mansi language means, "Don't go there." 182 00:11:27,206 --> 00:11:31,551 [Paul] They went out on this very strenuous trek or mission 183 00:11:31,551 --> 00:11:34,000 to show that the mountain could be conquered. 184 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,689 As far as we know, they were all experienced. 185 00:11:36,689 --> 00:11:39,206 Igor Dyatlov, who was in charge of the group, 186 00:11:39,206 --> 00:11:42,896 had about seven missions to his name, similar missions. 187 00:11:42,896 --> 00:11:45,793 They were supposed to just study the mountain 188 00:11:45,793 --> 00:11:47,551 to show that they can withstand 189 00:11:47,551 --> 00:11:51,172 the incredible cold in this desolate place and come back. 190 00:11:55,172 --> 00:11:56,482 [William] A few days into their trek, 191 00:11:57,517 --> 00:11:59,241 the hikers moved through a mountain pass 192 00:11:59,241 --> 00:12:01,448 with high winds and poor visibility... 193 00:12:02,517 --> 00:12:06,137 causing them to veer miles off course. 194 00:12:06,137 --> 00:12:10,344 Realizing their mistake and faced with the bitter cold of the coming night, 195 00:12:10,344 --> 00:12:15,103 they choose to stop and camp on a slope called Kholat Syakhl, 196 00:12:15,103 --> 00:12:19,241 which in Mansi translates to the "Mountain of the Dead". 197 00:12:19,724 --> 00:12:21,034 [wind blowing] 198 00:12:22,137 --> 00:12:23,793 [Paul] It's a very windy area. 199 00:12:23,793 --> 00:12:26,310 When I say windy, the winds are horrible. 200 00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:29,241 And they should not have put the tent on that slope. 201 00:12:29,241 --> 00:12:31,068 They could have done it easily 202 00:12:31,068 --> 00:12:33,448 about 100 meters away in the forest. 203 00:12:33,448 --> 00:12:35,931 They went against all the knowledge 204 00:12:35,931 --> 00:12:37,793 that the experienced trekker should have, 205 00:12:37,793 --> 00:12:39,931 so why would they put it out there? 206 00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:43,413 What drove them? Nobody knows for sure. 207 00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:47,068 [William] Weeks later, when it becomes clear that the group 208 00:12:47,068 --> 00:12:49,965 has failed to return from its expedition, 209 00:12:49,965 --> 00:12:52,724 a military search and rescue operation was launched. 210 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,827 They find the campsite abandoned... 211 00:12:56,862 --> 00:12:59,965 and a tent that has been torn to pieces. 212 00:12:59,965 --> 00:13:02,862 Curiously, the investigators determined that the tent 213 00:13:02,862 --> 00:13:05,275 was cut and ripped open from the inside. 214 00:13:05,275 --> 00:13:07,620 And the hikers appear to have fled in socks... 215 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,724 or barefoot. 216 00:13:09,724 --> 00:13:13,241 We are dealing with a group of experienced hikers 217 00:13:13,241 --> 00:13:16,827 who escaped their tent in the middle of the night without any reason, 218 00:13:16,827 --> 00:13:18,724 unless, something happened to their minds. 219 00:13:20,172 --> 00:13:21,379 [William] In search of the hikers, 220 00:13:21,379 --> 00:13:25,034 the investigators moved to the edge of a nearby forest. 221 00:13:25,034 --> 00:13:31,689 What they eventually find has defied explanation for more than 50 years. 222 00:13:31,689 --> 00:13:35,103 [Paul] Four of them were discovered initially and five of them were found later. 223 00:13:35,103 --> 00:13:37,896 And they all died differently. 224 00:13:37,896 --> 00:13:41,689 Some of the bodies died from exposure and were intact. 225 00:13:41,689 --> 00:13:45,172 Some of them were dressed completely. 226 00:13:45,172 --> 00:13:48,000 Most of them were naked, so to say. 227 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,379 Others had horrible wounds on them. 228 00:13:50,379 --> 00:13:53,310 Their bones were crushed inside their bodies. 229 00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:56,551 Others, their skull was crushed. 230 00:13:56,551 --> 00:14:00,068 One woman lost her tongue and parts of her face. 231 00:14:00,793 --> 00:14:02,758 Others were burnt, 232 00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:04,724 like somebody put their feet in the fire 233 00:14:04,724 --> 00:14:05,862 or they put it themselves. 234 00:14:05,862 --> 00:14:08,034 [man screams] 235 00:14:08,034 --> 00:14:11,862 They escaped like some force, something scared them. 236 00:14:16,206 --> 00:14:18,344 [William] The official causes of death for the hikers 237 00:14:18,344 --> 00:14:21,068 claimed that six have died from hypothermia, 238 00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,551 and the other three, from fatal injuries 239 00:14:23,551 --> 00:14:28,413 caused by an unknown compelling force. 240 00:14:28,413 --> 00:14:32,310 But the inquiry was forced to an abrupt end by the Soviet government, 241 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:37,344 and the chief investigator refused to sign off on the final report. 242 00:14:37,344 --> 00:14:40,103 [Paul] There were two investigators initially, 243 00:14:40,103 --> 00:14:42,793 and they were told to shut up and close the case 244 00:14:42,793 --> 00:14:45,931 with the determination that the cause of deaths 245 00:14:45,931 --> 00:14:50,758 was an invincible force of nature that killed them. 246 00:14:50,758 --> 00:14:53,931 [George] In some cases, the fact that some of them died from the bitter cold 247 00:14:53,931 --> 00:14:56,000 okay, that makes sense. 248 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,758 They're in a region that's freezing. 249 00:14:57,758 --> 00:14:59,413 But what about the other people? 250 00:14:59,413 --> 00:15:02,620 Fractured skulls, crushed lungs. 251 00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:03,827 There's something weird here. 252 00:15:06,827 --> 00:15:09,482 [William] What was the compelling force 253 00:15:09,482 --> 00:15:15,344 that inflicted such brutal and grotesque harm on these victims? 254 00:15:15,344 --> 00:15:18,103 While some have speculated that it could have been an avalanche 255 00:15:18,103 --> 00:15:21,000 or even an attack by Mansi tribes, 256 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,586 there was virtually no evidence to support these claims. 257 00:15:24,586 --> 00:15:29,310 Others point to local legends of some kind of monster. 258 00:15:29,310 --> 00:15:33,344 A creature capable of tearing people apart with its voice. 259 00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:36,931 There are descriptions of Mansi 260 00:15:36,931 --> 00:15:41,172 warning people not to go to this mountain, not to go to this area 261 00:15:41,172 --> 00:15:45,448 because the sounds that come from there can kill you. 262 00:15:45,448 --> 00:15:48,000 The entity that lives in that mountain 263 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,965 emits horrible shrieking sounds... 264 00:15:50,965 --> 00:15:53,931 [shrieks] 265 00:15:53,931 --> 00:15:56,896 ...that can destroy human beings. 266 00:15:56,896 --> 00:15:58,103 [shrieks] 267 00:16:00,965 --> 00:16:04,344 [William] Recently, a new theory has surfaced. 268 00:16:04,344 --> 00:16:06,827 One that suggests this mountain pass 269 00:16:06,827 --> 00:16:11,068 may be just as deadly as the Mansi name for it implies. 270 00:16:11,068 --> 00:16:13,586 Not because of some supernatural monster... 271 00:16:15,448 --> 00:16:18,034 but for a surprisingly scientific reason. 272 00:16:21,758 --> 00:16:24,310 So, this is a very windy pass on Ural Mountains. 273 00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:27,034 In 2014, there's some study that was done that showed that 274 00:16:27,034 --> 00:16:28,517 the wind kind of whipping through 275 00:16:28,517 --> 00:16:32,206 because the topography cause low-frequency sound, 276 00:16:32,206 --> 00:16:33,206 kind of a hum. 277 00:16:33,206 --> 00:16:36,068 [wind blowing] 278 00:16:36,068 --> 00:16:38,896 And low-frequency sound can cause the eyeball to vibrate, 279 00:16:38,896 --> 00:16:41,379 can cause people to see shadows out of the corner of their eyes, 280 00:16:41,379 --> 00:16:45,241 especially if you're in an environment that is desolate, 281 00:16:45,241 --> 00:16:47,379 which is what that was to begin with. 282 00:16:50,965 --> 00:16:53,034 [Michael] The dimensions and the physics of the actual pass 283 00:16:53,034 --> 00:16:55,172 are likely to lead to very low frequencies, 284 00:16:55,172 --> 00:16:57,724 which is exactly what infrasound is. 285 00:16:57,724 --> 00:17:02,448 Infrasound is just referring to any sound that's below our normal hearing. 286 00:17:02,448 --> 00:17:05,655 But sound itself is just pressure waves and vibration of the air. 287 00:17:07,068 --> 00:17:09,620 So, your body is still detecting it. 288 00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:11,689 Your ears are still reacting to it. 289 00:17:11,689 --> 00:17:13,172 Your eardrums are moving. 290 00:17:13,172 --> 00:17:16,275 And that's still generating electrical signals in your brain, 291 00:17:16,275 --> 00:17:18,206 so there is an impact of the infrasound 292 00:17:18,206 --> 00:17:19,655 that we don't fully understand yet. 293 00:17:22,310 --> 00:17:26,000 [Travis] Being exposed to this sound is fatiguing your body. 294 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,172 Any type of fatigue that's long-term can cause significant psychosis. 295 00:17:31,172 --> 00:17:35,448 In fact, there were several cases on the Mir Space Station 296 00:17:35,448 --> 00:17:40,068 where the Russian cosmonauts were exposed to various vibrations, 297 00:17:40,068 --> 00:17:43,068 and it caused them to actually have psychosis. 298 00:17:43,068 --> 00:17:46,448 I have a friend who worked on consoles for Mir, 299 00:17:46,448 --> 00:17:48,482 and he said that once, one of the cosmonauts 300 00:17:48,482 --> 00:17:50,931 actually pulled a knife on one of the other cosmonauts 301 00:17:50,931 --> 00:17:52,758 because of this type of exposure. 302 00:17:54,241 --> 00:17:57,310 [Paul] It's not like a rock falling on somebody's head. 303 00:17:57,310 --> 00:17:59,310 It's happening inside their minds. 304 00:17:59,310 --> 00:18:02,310 And infrasound is a powerful weapon. 305 00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:06,034 And apparently, it's affecting those who are coming to the mountain. 306 00:18:06,034 --> 00:18:08,275 That's why it is a hypothesis now 307 00:18:08,275 --> 00:18:10,724 that is being explored more and more in Russia 308 00:18:10,724 --> 00:18:14,862 as to the cause of death of the Dyatlov tourists. 309 00:18:14,862 --> 00:18:20,103 I don't subscribe to the theory that heavy winds created an atmosphere 310 00:18:20,103 --> 00:18:21,965 where these people went nuts. 311 00:18:21,965 --> 00:18:24,310 I think there was something else afoot, 312 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:28,482 something very evil and strange that happened to these nine hikers. 313 00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:30,448 And I hope we get the answers to it. 314 00:18:30,448 --> 00:18:32,965 But again, maybe we don't want the answer. 315 00:18:32,965 --> 00:18:38,000 Maybe because it's so hideous and so evil we don't want to know it. 316 00:18:45,931 --> 00:18:49,206 Did the harsh winds of the Dyatlov Pass 317 00:18:49,206 --> 00:18:51,724 really create a low-frequency noise 318 00:18:51,724 --> 00:18:56,482 that caused the hikers to lose their minds and brutally kill each other? 319 00:18:56,482 --> 00:18:59,448 Or could it be that a mysterious, unknown monster 320 00:18:59,448 --> 00:19:02,448 was responsible for the hikers' deaths. 321 00:19:02,448 --> 00:19:06,275 For the nine men and women whose bodies were found horribly mutilated, 322 00:19:06,275 --> 00:19:07,965 the question is academic. 323 00:19:07,965 --> 00:19:09,344 As far as they were concerned... 324 00:19:10,551 --> 00:19:12,965 evil happened here. 325 00:19:14,862 --> 00:19:16,448 And it's an evil that isn't only found 326 00:19:16,448 --> 00:19:17,724 on remote mountaintops... 327 00:19:18,827 --> 00:19:19,724 but right next door. 328 00:19:21,241 --> 00:19:24,517 And often in the unlikeliest of places. 329 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,724 [William] Mercer County, West Virginia. 330 00:19:33,793 --> 00:19:36,724 Here on the bank of Lake Shawnee 331 00:19:36,724 --> 00:19:40,827 stands the abandoned remnants of what was once a simple, 332 00:19:40,827 --> 00:19:43,206 wholesome, family amusement park. 333 00:19:46,172 --> 00:19:50,448 Opened in 1926, the park thrived for decades, 334 00:19:50,448 --> 00:19:54,655 until it was abruptly closed in 1966. 335 00:19:54,655 --> 00:19:58,896 According to local historians, the reason for the closure 336 00:19:58,896 --> 00:20:02,379 was that what started as a playground for children 337 00:20:02,379 --> 00:20:07,275 became the site of numerous tragic and disturbing incidents. 338 00:20:07,275 --> 00:20:09,103 [children laughing] 339 00:20:10,379 --> 00:20:14,689 In the 1940s, a little girl was riding the swings, 340 00:20:14,689 --> 00:20:16,275 and a soda delivery truck 341 00:20:16,275 --> 00:20:18,103 delivered soda to the concession stand. 342 00:20:19,068 --> 00:20:21,517 [children laughing] 343 00:20:21,517 --> 00:20:23,655 And whenever he did, he backed up into the path 344 00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:26,689 of the swing, and it killed the little girl. 345 00:20:26,689 --> 00:20:29,896 [Patricia] They tried to play it down because it was a child getting killed. 346 00:20:31,827 --> 00:20:34,344 She wasn't the only child who got killed here. 347 00:20:34,344 --> 00:20:36,482 There were several kids that drowned. 348 00:20:36,482 --> 00:20:40,379 One was a really sad story, and I would hope it wouldn't happen nowadays. 349 00:20:41,068 --> 00:20:42,620 [water splashes] 350 00:20:42,620 --> 00:20:45,965 A mother brought her nine-year-old here 351 00:20:45,965 --> 00:20:47,793 and dropped him off to go swimming, 352 00:20:47,793 --> 00:20:49,793 and she went on her merry way. 353 00:20:49,793 --> 00:20:53,965 She came back when the park was closing and she couldn't find her son. 354 00:20:54,689 --> 00:20:56,206 [woman] Come on. 355 00:20:56,206 --> 00:20:58,689 [Patricia] And they looked for the son until 10 o'clock at night. 356 00:20:58,689 --> 00:21:04,241 When they found him, his arm was stuck in the drain of the swimming pool, 357 00:21:04,241 --> 00:21:06,689 and it had sucked him in, and he couldn't get out, 358 00:21:06,689 --> 00:21:07,793 and he had just drowned. 359 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,724 There was another incident where there was a family out on an outing. 360 00:21:14,724 --> 00:21:16,689 They were riding a canoe in the lake. 361 00:21:16,689 --> 00:21:20,586 The canoe overturned, and a little boy drowned in the lake. 362 00:21:24,724 --> 00:21:26,551 [William] Before its doors were closed, 363 00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:30,310 six children had died in the park. 364 00:21:30,310 --> 00:21:33,206 And that might have been reason enough for the park to remain closed... 365 00:21:33,724 --> 00:21:34,551 but it didn't. 366 00:21:35,965 --> 00:21:40,413 In 1985, local resident Gaylord White purchased the property 367 00:21:40,413 --> 00:21:42,103 with hopes of reopening it. 368 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,862 [Jewell] In the 1950s, Gaylord, my husband, 369 00:21:47,862 --> 00:21:49,965 worked here when he was in high school. 370 00:21:50,793 --> 00:21:52,931 He fell in love with it. 371 00:21:52,931 --> 00:21:56,793 So, that was his wish that someday, we would own the park. 372 00:21:57,896 --> 00:22:00,206 And somebody had sent us word 373 00:22:00,206 --> 00:22:03,620 that the heirs had finally decided they were gonna sell it. 374 00:22:04,517 --> 00:22:05,586 That's how we bought it. 375 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,310 We wanted to have a children's ride park. 376 00:22:14,482 --> 00:22:17,586 [William] For years, locals believed that the park was haunted. 377 00:22:18,379 --> 00:22:20,793 Maybe even cursed. 378 00:22:20,793 --> 00:22:26,241 Then, in the late 1980s, the White Family made some curious discoveries. 379 00:22:28,344 --> 00:22:33,965 We started finding a lot of pottery and Native American tools and arrowheads. 380 00:22:33,965 --> 00:22:35,103 Stuff like that. 381 00:22:36,137 --> 00:22:38,896 So, we stopped doing the bulldozing. 382 00:22:38,896 --> 00:22:41,482 We called Marshall University. 383 00:22:41,482 --> 00:22:43,586 They put together an archeological team 384 00:22:43,586 --> 00:22:45,758 that will come down to the park. 385 00:22:45,758 --> 00:22:48,758 They started uncovering bodies. 386 00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:52,931 So, that's when we knew we had a Native American burial ground on the property. 387 00:22:55,724 --> 00:23:00,827 I know that one of the burial sites was a Native American fourteen-year-old girl. 388 00:23:00,827 --> 00:23:04,896 And the belief is that she died from giving childbirth 389 00:23:04,896 --> 00:23:07,413 because the child was buried next to her. 390 00:23:11,517 --> 00:23:13,241 [William] A series of tragic deaths... 391 00:23:14,551 --> 00:23:15,758 at an amusement park 392 00:23:15,758 --> 00:23:18,551 built on the site of a Native American burial ground? 393 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,896 A coincidence? 394 00:23:20,896 --> 00:23:22,172 [children laughing] 395 00:23:22,172 --> 00:23:24,758 As far as paranormal investigators are concerned... 396 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,517 not a chance. 397 00:23:29,206 --> 00:23:32,413 [Dave] The first time I stepped foot on Lake Shawnee Amusement Park, 398 00:23:32,413 --> 00:23:35,655 I felt like I was being watched. 399 00:23:35,655 --> 00:23:39,724 There was an ominous, just negative feeling. 400 00:23:43,103 --> 00:23:48,103 I don't necessarily believe that places are born bad. 401 00:23:48,103 --> 00:23:54,586 I believe that things have to occur for a place to become negative in nature. 402 00:23:56,206 --> 00:23:58,344 [Chris] People said whenever they come to the park 403 00:23:58,344 --> 00:24:01,103 that they see the swings move on their own. 404 00:24:01,103 --> 00:24:05,068 Or maybe they see an image of the little girl that's riding the swings. 405 00:24:09,172 --> 00:24:13,241 [Patricia] Seeing only one swing move when I look at it and no one else sees it, 406 00:24:13,241 --> 00:24:15,517 or it stops as soon as someone else is looking, 407 00:24:15,517 --> 00:24:17,482 that's pretty scary. 408 00:24:17,482 --> 00:24:19,965 More than it's scary is it's unexplained. 409 00:24:22,172 --> 00:24:24,103 We tend to be scientists now. 410 00:24:24,103 --> 00:24:26,379 All of this we know, everything that's going on. 411 00:24:26,379 --> 00:24:28,965 And when you see something that you don't understand, 412 00:24:28,965 --> 00:24:30,310 it gets to be creepy. 413 00:24:31,862 --> 00:24:34,448 [Lloyd] Millions of people have had these experiences, 414 00:24:34,448 --> 00:24:38,655 not just hauntings but also ESP experiences, and related experiences. 415 00:24:38,655 --> 00:24:42,793 These are questions that science should be looking at very carefully and closely. 416 00:24:42,793 --> 00:24:45,068 And to say, oh, it's mass hallucination 417 00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:46,413 or it's this kind of explanation 418 00:24:46,413 --> 00:24:48,379 without looking into the experience itself, 419 00:24:48,379 --> 00:24:50,379 either the singular or the general patterns, 420 00:24:51,344 --> 00:24:52,379 it's not scientific. 421 00:24:52,379 --> 00:24:53,793 It's highly unscientific. 422 00:24:55,758 --> 00:24:58,931 [William] Is the dark history of the Lake Shawnee Amusement Park 423 00:24:58,931 --> 00:25:02,310 the result of a curse placed upon anyone 424 00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:04,551 that dares to desecrate this sacred ground? 425 00:25:05,586 --> 00:25:09,724 Or was the area always a place of evil? 426 00:25:09,724 --> 00:25:13,000 A place where bad things will always happen... 427 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,724 regardless of what is built there. 428 00:25:15,724 --> 00:25:18,586 Perhaps the answer can be found by examining a place 429 00:25:18,586 --> 00:25:23,448 where some people believe evil not only happens but can actually be measured 430 00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:26,586 not only in fear and suffering, 431 00:25:26,586 --> 00:25:32,896 but scientifically, it can be proven to be as tangible as flesh and blood. 432 00:25:42,068 --> 00:25:43,758 [William] Cayuga, Indiana. 433 00:25:44,724 --> 00:25:46,793 February 16th, 2019. 434 00:25:48,482 --> 00:25:53,275 Paranormal investigator Dave Spinks and his associate Haley Sharp 435 00:25:53,275 --> 00:25:56,758 have traveled here to this small town 436 00:25:56,758 --> 00:26:00,793 to investigate a house that many consider to be the most evil place... 437 00:26:01,689 --> 00:26:04,344 in North America. 438 00:26:04,344 --> 00:26:09,689 Referred to as Willows Weep, it has been the site of a series of gruesome deaths 439 00:26:09,689 --> 00:26:11,896 since it was built in the 19th century. 440 00:26:21,827 --> 00:26:23,758 Brenda Johnson owns Willows Weep. 441 00:26:23,758 --> 00:26:25,241 - Hi, Brenda. - [Brenda] Dave. 442 00:26:25,241 --> 00:26:28,310 [William] She dismissed the rumors about it being an evil place 443 00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:31,103 and purchased it only a few years ago 444 00:26:31,103 --> 00:26:32,793 with plans to renovate it. 445 00:26:32,793 --> 00:26:34,344 - This is my assistant, Haley. - Hi. 446 00:26:34,344 --> 00:26:35,448 It's nice to meet you. 447 00:26:35,448 --> 00:26:37,379 [William] But recent events have convinced her 448 00:26:37,379 --> 00:26:41,551 that she may have made a terrible mistake. 449 00:26:41,551 --> 00:26:43,862 To this end, she's invited Dave and Haley 450 00:26:43,862 --> 00:26:45,793 to come and investigate the house 451 00:26:45,793 --> 00:26:49,448 and see if her strange experiences can be verified. 452 00:26:50,482 --> 00:26:52,344 [Dave] So, how are you doing? 453 00:26:52,344 --> 00:26:54,896 [laughing] Not good standing here. 454 00:26:54,896 --> 00:26:57,275 All night last night, I was sick thinking about 455 00:26:57,275 --> 00:26:59,206 coming over here around this house. 456 00:26:59,206 --> 00:27:00,724 So, tell us a little bit about the house, 457 00:27:00,724 --> 00:27:01,931 some of your experiences here. 458 00:27:01,931 --> 00:27:05,931 Well, when I bought the house, we started working on it. 459 00:27:05,931 --> 00:27:08,034 And then, my son was working on the ceiling, 460 00:27:08,034 --> 00:27:11,275 the boards come flying off at him and hurt him, 461 00:27:11,275 --> 00:27:13,689 and I've been scratched in there. 462 00:27:13,689 --> 00:27:15,551 Six claw marks down my back. 463 00:27:15,551 --> 00:27:20,034 Doors slamming on you, banging underneath the floors. 464 00:27:20,034 --> 00:27:21,862 Well, I understand there's been deaths in this house. 465 00:27:21,862 --> 00:27:23,931 - Can you kind of go through those a little bit? - Yeah. 466 00:27:26,275 --> 00:27:29,068 [Brenda] The man that built the house, he died in the bathtub. 467 00:27:30,206 --> 00:27:32,413 There were two suicides. 468 00:27:32,413 --> 00:27:35,241 And then, another hanging. 469 00:27:35,241 --> 00:27:39,172 And I heard that three men had been poisoned. 470 00:27:40,586 --> 00:27:43,068 About six months prior before I bought it, 471 00:27:43,068 --> 00:27:46,793 there was a man that, he committed suicide in there. 472 00:27:46,793 --> 00:27:49,448 - He fell into the chair. - [Dave] And that's where they found him? 473 00:27:49,448 --> 00:27:51,379 or they found him what, a couple of days later, right? 474 00:27:51,379 --> 00:27:53,241 - [Brenda] Week. - [Dave] A week. Week later.
