Narrator: WHEN A WOMAN'S HOBBY
TURNS OBSESSIVE...

LOOK.
AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL?

THEY'RE KIND OF WEIRD.

THE MASKS DEFINITELY
CREEPED ME OUT.

I DIDN'T LIKE THEM AT ALL.

Narrator: ...BIZARRE THINGS
BEGIN HAPPENING...

Grier: THE EYES WERE MISSING.

Jeannette: STRAW WAS STICKING
OUT OF ITS BELLY

AND OUT OF ITS EYES.

Narrator:
THERE IS A SPIRIT INSIDE,

WAITING TO COME OUT.

Jeannette:
VOODOO KEPT COMING UP.

MOM. IT'S THE MASK.

AND I THOUGHT, "MAYBE THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM."

I WAS TERRIFIED.

THESE MASKS ARE
TRYING TO KILL ME.

[ GASPS ] HELP ME!

Narrator: IN AMERICA,
THERE IS REAL EVIL.

IT LURKS IN THE DARKEST SHADOWS
AND IN OUR MOST ORDINARY TOWNS.

BETWEEN THE WORLDS WE SEE...

SOMEONE IS IN MY ROOM.

...AND THE THINGS WE FEAR...

[ SCREAMS ]

...THERE ARE DOORS.

WHEN THEY ARE OPENED...

[ SCREAMS ]

Narrator:
...NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY.

IN NOVEMBER 2007,
BOB GRIFFITH BRINGS HOME

AN IMPORTANT PACKAGE
FOR HIS WIFE.

[ ENGINE REVVING ]

[ ENGINE REVVING LOUDLY ]

[ TIRES SCREECHING ]

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

HELLO?

OH, HEY, BABE.

I WAS JUST ALMOST
IN AN ACCIDENT.

Jeannette: SHORTLY AFTER
HE STARTED DRIVING,

THE GAS PEDAL
STUCK ON THE CAR.

AND HE COULD NOT SLOW DOWN.

SO HE HAD TO JAM
ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE

TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

NO, I'M -- I'M OKAY.

NO, I'LL BE FINE.

LET ME JUST SEE
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS.

YEAH, I GOT IT.

I'LL BE HOME SOON.

LOVE YOU, TOO.

Jeannette: WE HAD
THE CAR CHECKED OUT.

AND THERE WAS NOTHING
WRONG WITH IT.

WHEN WE FOUND OUT
THAT THE CAR WAS FINE,

WE JUST BRUSHED IT OFF
AND FORGOT ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST THOUGHT
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

IN 2007, WE MOVED
INTO OUR DREAM HOME,

IN DESERT HOT SPRINGS,
JUST NORTH OF PALM SPRINGS.

AND IT WAS A VERY NICE HOME.

I LIVED THERE
WITH MY HUSBAND, BOB,

AND MY 12-YEAR-OLD SON, GRIER.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

HELLO!
HEY!

[ GASPS ] THERE IT IS!

I'M SO EXCITED!

I WISH YOU WERE
AS EXCITED

TO SEE ME AS YOU ARE
TO GET THIS BOX.

OH, I'M SORRY.
ARE YOU OKAY?

HOW -- HOW'S THE CAR?
I'M OKAY.

THE CAR'S OKAY.
OKAY.

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THIS,
WE'RE ALL OKAY.

I AM JUST REALLY EXCITED.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

COME ON.
I'LL SHOW YOU.

MY HUSBAND
HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

AND HE WAS A GOOD FATHER.

MOM, WHAT DID
YOU BUY NOW?

[ CHUCKLES ]
I WILL SHOW YOU.

GRIER IS SMART.
HE'S SO INTELLIGENT.

HE IS A GREAT KID.

I COLLECT ANTIQUES.

AND AS A HOUSEWARMING GIFT
FOR MYSELF,

I BOUGHT THESE TWO HAITIAN MASKS
THAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET.

THEY WERE SOLID MAHOGANY,

AND THE CRAFTSMANSHIP
WAS JUST AMAZING.

ONE OF THEM HAD
THE APPEARANCE OF A GAZELLE.

THE OTHER ONE HAD
HUMAN FEATURES.

LOOK.
AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL?

THEY'RE KIND OF WEIRD.

Grier: WHEN I SAW THE MASKS,

I SORT OF GOT A VERY EERIE
FEELING, ALMOST PARANOID.

I REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD MY MOM
THAT I DIDN'T LIKE THEM AT ALL.

AND SHE INSISTED THAT THEY'RE
GONNA LOOK GREAT ON THE WALL.

OH, STOP!
I THINK THEY'RE AMAZING!

HEY, BUDDY, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
LET'S GO GET SOME TAKEOUT.

WE'LL USE YOUR MOM'S CAR.

ALL RIGHT.
GET ME SOMETHING GOOD.

WE'LL BE BACK SOON.

I WAS VERY EXCITED
WHEN THE MASKS GOT THERE.

AND I HUNG THEM
ON THEIR OWN SPECIAL WALL.

Narrator:
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS,

JEANNETTE AND GRIER
SETTLE INTO THEIR HOME

WHILE BOB IS AWAY ON BUSINESS.

Jeannette:
MY HUSBAND WAS AN RV SALESMAN.

BECAUSE OF HIS JOB,
HE WOULD BE GONE FOR 2 WEEKS,

MAYBE A MONTH AT A TIME,
FOR RV SHOWS.

AND HE WOULD GO
AND SELL AT THESE SHOWS.

SO IT WAS GRIER AND I
ALONE IN THE HOUSE.

HEY, BUD.
HEY.

BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING
TO DRINK.

THANKS.

HOW'S IT GOING?

NOT TOO WELL.
WHY?

I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
THIS ONE QUESTION.

OKAY.
LET'S SEE HERE.

THIS ONE?
YEAH.

MM. OKAY.

SO, YOU'RE JUST
GOING TO MULTIPLY,

RIGHT,
AND THEN SUBTRACT.

SO, IT'S GOING
TO BE X MINUS 2.

I STILL DON'T GET IT.

AH, YOU WILL.

WHEN'S DAD GONNA BE HOME?

I DON'T KNOW, BUD.
TOMORROW, MAYBE?

[ THUMP ]

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHOA!
WHAT IS IT?

IS THAT A BIRD?

OH, MAN.

THE BIRD THAT WE SAW WAS JUST
A LITTLE BLACK BIRD, YOU KNOW.

IT WASN'T A RAVEN.
IT WAS SMALLER.

POOR GUY.

Grier:
WHEN WE SAW THE DEAD BIRD,

WE THOUGHT IT'D JUST HIT
THE BACK DOOR AND DIED.

AW.

OH. UM...LET'S --
LET'S GO INSIDE THE HOUSE.

THAT WAS A LITTLE WEIRD.
AND IT WAS SAD.

BUT BIRDS FLY INTO WINDOWS.

WE JUST DISMISSED IT.

YOU KNOW, WE CLEANED IT UP
AND DISMISSED IT.

[ TAPPING ON WINDOW ]

Grier:
ONE NIGHT, I WAS IN MY ROOM.

I HAD JUST STARTED
FALLING ASLEEP.

AND I HEARD TAPPING
ON MY WINDOW.

[ CREAKING ]

[ CREAKING ]

WHO'S THERE?

[ CREAKING ]

I DEFINITELY HAD
A SENSE OF PARANOIA,

LIKE SOMEBODY WAS WATCHING ME.

[ GASPS ]

Narrator: TWELVE-YEAR-OLD
GRIER GRIFFITH

HAS BEEN GETTING
AN EERIE FEELING

IN HIS NEW HOUSE.

Grier: WHEN I WAS WALKING
DOWN THE HALL,

I HEARD THE CREAKING

AND THAT SAME NOISE
FROM OUTSIDE.

[ CREAKING ]

[ GASPS ]

I LOOKED BEHIND ME
AND SAW NOTHING.

AFTER NOT SEEING
ANYTHING, I JUST...

...I WANTED TO BRUSH IT OFF.

SO I JUST SORT OF LET GO OF IT.

Jeannette: GRIER AND I WERE
PLAYING IN THE BACKYARD.

AND WE CAME IN.

AND WE SHUT THE DOOR.

[ Laughing ]
YOU'RE JUST GETTING TOO FAST.

I KNOW.

I CAN'T KEEP UP
WITH YOU ANYMORE.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S GLASS.

AND THERE WAS GLASS
ALL OVER THE DINING ROOM.

WHAT THE HECK?

WHAT BROKE THE GLASS?

BE CAREFUL.
OKAY.

IT MADE A TRAIL 25 FEET.

IT JUST MADE NO SENSE AT ALL.

THE TRAIL OF GLASS
DEFINITELY SEEMED TO BE

PLACED IN THIS LINE.

Jeannette: AND THEN I NOTICED
THAT THE GLASS

WENT THROUGH THE DINING ROOM,

INTO THE LIVING ROOM,
AND AROUND THE CORNER.

Grier: I JUST KNEW
SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT.

OH, GOD!

WHAT WAS IT?

I...DON'T KNOW.

WHAT?

WHAT IS IT?

OH! OH, GOSH.

WHEN I GOT DOWN CLOSE TO IT,

I NOTICED THAT THERE
WAS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG

WITH THIS BIRD.

IT'S FREAKY.
LOOK AT ITS EYES.

IT WASN'T JUST THE EYES
WERE MISSING.

IT WAS THAT THERE WAS
ACTUAL VERY LARGE HOLES.

IT WAS STUFFED WITH STRAW
COMING OUT OF IT.

IT WAS VERY DISTURBING.

THE STRAW WAS
STICKING OUT OF ITS BELLY.

THAT ACTUALLY WAS
PRETTY FRIGHTENING

BECAUSE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
WOULD HAVE TO BE

PUT THERE SOMEHOW.

THAT'S JUST NOT NORMAL.

IS THIS YOUR IDEA
OF SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE?

NO, I -- I WOULD NEVER
DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

WHAT IF SOMEONE'S
MESSING WITH US?

WHO WOULD DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

WHO WOULD --

ONE OF THE MANY THOUGHTS
I HAD

WAS THAT SOMEBODY
WAS MESSING WITH US.

UM...

I, AT THE TIME, DIDN'T HAVE
A CLUE WHO THAT COULD BE.

I DON'T KNOW.
IT WASN'T ME.

I'LL GO GET A BAG
OR SOMETHING TO PUT IT IN.

Jeannette:
I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO THINK OF THE STUFFED BIRD,

OTHER THAN IT HAD
TO HAVE BEEN PUT HERE.

BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT
WHO WOULD DO THAT.

IT JUST DIDN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE.

I HONESTLY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT IT.

BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME

THAT I STARTED FEELING
UNCOMFORTABLE IN THE HOUSE.

Narrator:
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS,

WITH JEANNETTE'S HUSBAND
ON THE ROAD AGAIN FOR WORK,

JEANNETTE AND GRIER MAKE SURE

TO KEEP THE HOUSE
UNDER LOCK AND KEY.

[ WATER RUNNING ]

[ CRICKET CHIRPING ]

[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]

[ GASPING ]

NO!

[ SCREAMING ]

Narrator:
STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING

IN JEANNETTE OSBOURNE'S
DREAM HOME.

[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]

[ GASPING ]

[ SCREAMING ]

I HAD 10 OR 15 CRICKETS COMING
UP OUT OF MY SHOWER DRAIN.

I WAS MORE THAN
A LITTLE FREAKED OUT.

I DON'T LIKE BUGS.

[ SCREAMING ]

I WAS TERRIFIED.

OH! OH, GOD!

OH!
MOM!

WHAT'S WRONG?

THERE WERE ALL THESE CRICKETS
IN MY BATHROOM.

I -- THEY WERE COMING
OUT OF THE DRAIN.

THEY WERE ALL OVER ME.

OH, MY GOD.

[ CLATTER ]

[ GASPS ]

WHAT HAPPENED?

I HAVE --
I HAVE --

DID YOU DO THIS?
NO.

WELL, WAS IT LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU CAME THROUGH HERE?

I DON'T THINK SO.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

IT'S FOOD.

I NOTICED
THAT THERE WAS SORT OF,

LIKE, A TRAIL OF DRY GOODS.

Jeannette:
IT WENT OUT OF THE KITCHEN,
INTO THE DINING ROOM,

AND STOPPED AT THE WALL --
STOPPED RIGHT BELOW THE MASKS.

MOM.

MOM!

IT'S THE MASKS.

THE TRAIL IS LEADING
TO THE MASKS.

NO, HONEY,
IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE.

NO, IT'S NOT.

WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

Grier: THE PATH FROM
THE DRY GOODS CABINET

TO THE MASKS WAS
ABOUT 7 OR 8 FEET.

AND EVEN IF IT HAD JUST FALLEN
DIRECTLY OUT OF THE CUPBOARD,

THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY
THAT IT COULD HAVE MADE A TRAIL.

I TOLD YOU THEY WERE CREEPY
FROM THE DAY YOU GOT THEM.

YOU SHOULD GET RID OF THEM.
THEY ARE NOT CREEPY!

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

I WOULD TRY AND EXPLAIN
TO HER, LIKE,

"YOU DO UNDERSTAND
THAT ALL OF THIS IS PROBABLY

BECAUSE OF THOSE MASKS, RIGHT?"

AND, OF COURSE, SHE WOULD
TRY TO BRUSH IT OFF.

YOU'RE OVERREACTING.

WHY WON'T YOU
LISTEN TO ME?

Jeannette: THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
THEY'RE MINE.

AND I LOVE THEM.

AND THEY'RE GONNA STAY
RIGHT THERE, ON THE WALL.

Narrator:
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS,

JEANNETTE OFTEN FINDS
HERSELF ADMIRING THE MASKS.

Jeannette: I KNOW THAT THEY HAD
A HOLD OVER ME.

I HAVE OTHER MASKS
AND OTHER ANTIQUES.

AND, OF COURSE,
LIKE ANY COLLECTOR, I LOVE THEM.

YOU KNOW, THEY MAKE ME HAPPY.

THESE WERE DIFFERENT.

I WASN'T WILLING
TO TAKE THEM DOWN.

Narrator: JEANNETTE'S GROWING
OBSESSION TAKES A TURN,

AND SHE BUYS EVEN MORE MASKS.

HONEY?

JEANNETTE?

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'RE SPENDING
A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME

ON THIS...HOBBY?

TOO MUCH TIME?

NO, I LIKE THEM.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

LOOK, I'VE GOT TO GO.

I LOVE YOU.

[ SMOOCHES ]

I'LL BE BACK SOON.

I HAD AN UNNATURAL ATTACHMENT
TO THESE THINGS.

THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT.

Grier: MY DAD WORKED A LOT,
AND DURING THIS TIME,

HE WAS ACTUALLY
LEAVING FOR WEEKS

OR MAYBE A MONTH AT A TIME.

WITH THAT HAPPENING,
HE COULDN'T BE,

SORT OF, LIKE, A HELPING HAND,
ON MY PART,

WITH PERSUADING MY MOM
TO GET RID OF THESE MASKS.

WHEN MY MOM WOULDN'T
BELIEVE ME ABOUT THE MASKS,

IT MADE ME FEEL ALONE.

AAH!

Narrator: TWELVE-YEAR-OLD GRIER
HAS JUST BEEN ATTACKED

BY AN UNSEEN ENTITY.

AAH!

IT FELT LIKE SOMEBODY
HAD HIT ME.

MOM!

WHAT?
MOM!

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
CALM DOWN. CALM DOWN.

WHAT? WHAT?

GRIER CAME RUNNING
INTO MY ROOM.

AND HE SAID THAT SOMETHING
WAS IN HIS ROOM.

I WAS SLEEPING IN MY ROOM.

AND SOMETHING HIT ME
IN THE FOREHEAD.

LET ME SEE THIS.

HE HAD FINGERPRINTS
ON HIS FOREHEAD, LIKE THIS.

IT WAS FRIGHTENING.

OH, MY GOD!

MOM, IT'S
THE STUPID MASKS!

THE MASKS?
GRIER, THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

YOU AREN'T
LISTENING TO ME!

LOOK.

I WILL FIGURE
THIS OUT, OKAY?

OKAY.

YOU WANT TO STAY
IN HERE TONIGHT?

MM.

OKAY.
GET IN BED.

I DEFINITELY THINK
THAT MADE THINGS

A LOT MORE REAL
FOR BOTH MY MOTHER AND I.

Narrator: JEANNETTE CAN
NO LONGER DENY THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN THE HAUNTING
AND THE MASKS.

Jeannette: I STARTED TRYING
TO RESEARCH THE MASKS.

I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THEM, OTHER
THAN THEY CAME TO ME IN A BOX

FROM PORT-AU-PRINCE IN HAITI.

VOODOO KEPT COMING UP.

AND I THOUGHT,
"I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.

IS IT POSSIBLE?"

PART OF ME WAS SAYING,

"WELL, MAYBE THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM.

MAYBE THEY'RE CAUSING THIS."

Narrator: JEANNETTE INVITES
A VOODOO PRIEST INTO HER HOME.

SO, OVER HERE IS, UM,

WHERE WE FOUND
THE TRAIL OF FOOD

JUST LINED UP
THROUGH THE KITCHEN.

I'M BLOODY MARY,
VOODOO QUEEN OF NEW ORLEANS

AND A VOODOO HISTORIAN.

ON MANY OCCASIONS, I'M CALLED
IN AS AN OCCULT EXPERT

WHEN SOMEONE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR HOUSE.

AND HERE ARE
THE MASKS.

THE VOODOO PRIEST
THAT JEANNETTE CALLED

CAME OVER TO THE HOUSE
TO ASSESS THE SITUATION.

THESE TWO HAVE A STRONG
SPIRIT WITHIN THEM.

THEY DO?

MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER VOODOO

TO BE THE OLDEST RELIGION
THAT EXISTS.

IT'S A NATURE-BASED RELIGION,

SO EVERYTHING IS ABOUT
THE SPIRIT WORLD.

IN FACT, THE WORD "VOODOO"
TRANSLATES TO "MEAN SPIRIT."

[ CHANTING ]

TRANCE DANCE POSSESSION
IS A PART OF A VOODOO CEREMONY.

IT WOULD START WITH OFFERINGS
TO THE SPIRITS.

AND EVENTUALLY, TO BUILD ENERGY,
THEY'RE DANCING.

YOU'RE WANTING
TO BECOME THE SPIRITS.

IF YOU GET POSSESSED,
YOU MAY GO PUT ON THE CLOTHING

THAT IS ATTRACTIVE
TO THAT PARTICULAR SPIRIT.

YOU MAY PUT ON A WIG.
YOU MAY PUT ON A MASK.

Priest:
THESE MASKS WERE USED

DURING RITUAL CEREMONIES
IN MY FAITH.

THE MORE AND MORE
THOSE THINGS ARE USED,

THE MORE AND MORE THEY'RE
EMBEDDED WITH THE SPIRIT ITSELF.

WHAT KIND OF RITUALS?

IT'S HARD TO TELL.

BUT THEY ARE LOOKING
FOR THEIR GUIDE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE SPIRITS, THE MASKS --

THEY...ARE HUNGRY.

SO, WHAT DO WE DO?

I MEAN, I DON'T WANT
TO GET RID OF THEM.

BUT I WANT THEM TO BE
AT PEACE WITH MY FAMILY.

YOU NEED TO FEED THEM.

LEAVE OUT GIFTS FOR THEM.

IN JEANNETTE'S CASE,
THERE WERE CRICKETS

AND THERE WERE BIRDS,

AS WELL AS FOOD THAT WERE
KIND OF BROUGHT TO HER.

THAT WAS A HINT
THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE FED.

I CAN SHOW YOU.

ARE WE IN DANGER?

NO.

I'LL GIVE YOU ALL
THE TOOLS YOU NEED.

BUT FIRST, LET US PERFORM
A PROTECTION CEREMONY.

THE SPIRITS NEED TO UNDERSTAND
WHO IS IN CONTROL.

OKAY.

AFTER THE PROTECTION CEREMONY,
THE HOUSE DID FEEL BETTER.

AND WE STARTED
PUTTING FOOD OFFERINGS

IN A BOWL UNDER THE MASKS.

I DIDN'T KNOW
IF IT WOULD WORK OR NOT.

BUT I WAS WILLING
TO TRY ANYTHING.

AAH!

[ GASPING ]

NO, NO, NO, NO!
NO!

[ SCREAMING ]

HELP ME!

HELP!

Narrator: JEANNETTE OSBOURNE
IS TERRIFIED FOR HER LIFE.

[ GASPING, SCREAMING ]

AAH! HELP ME!

HELP!

IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

BUT I KNEW WHAT I WAS
EXPERIENCING WAS VERY REAL.

Narrator:
BUT IN SPITE OF HER FEAR,

HER OBSESSION WITH THE MASKS
DEFIES LOGIC.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET RID
OF THEM.

I WAS ATTACHED TO THEM.

BUT I KIND OF KNEW

THAT IT HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THEM.

IT ABSOLUTELY HAD TO.

Narrator:
THAT SUMMER, JEANNETTE FINDS
HERSELF ALONE IN THE HOUSE.

GRIER LEAVES TO VISIT
HIS OLDER BROTHER IN KANSAS.

YOU GOT EVERYTHING?

WE ARE GONNA GET THIS
WORKED OUT, OKAY?

EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE FINE.

I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.

HERE'S YOUR STUFF.

Bob: OKAY, BUDDY.

YOU READY TO GO?
YEP.

OKAY.
MEET ME IN THE CAR.

Narrator:
WHAT'S MORE, JEANNETTE'S HUSBAND
HAS NO CHOICE

BUT TO TAKE A NEW JOB
OUT OF STATE.

IN 2008, FINANCES
WERE BAD FOR EVERYONE.

A LOT OF THE RV STORES
CLOSED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO FIND
WORK WITHIN HIS INDUSTRY

WHERE HE COULD.

IT'LL JUST BE
A FEW MONTHS.

AND I'LL BE BACK.
OKAY?

LOVE YOU.

THE LOWEST MOMENT
WAS DEFINITELY LEAVING MY MOM

TO DEAL WITH IT ON HER OWN

BECAUSE MY DAD
WAS STILL WORKING.

Jeannette:
I GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I KNEW
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

AND I THOUGHT, "I NEED
TO REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY.

I NEED TO GET SOME HELP."

Narrator:
DESPERATE, JEANNETTE CONTACTS
A HAUNTED-OBJECT SPECIALIST.

HI. COME ON IN.

MY NAME IS JOHN ZAFFIS.

I'VE BEEN A PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR FOR 43 YEARS.

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO HAVE A SEAT?

SURE. THAT'D BE FINE.
THANK YOU.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME
SUGAR OR ANYTHING?

BLACK IS FINE.
THANK YOU.

WELL, YOU'VE
SEEN THE MASKS.

I'VE TRIED
TO GET RID OF THEM.

BUT I -- I WANT
THE ACTIVITY TO STOP.

BUT I DON'T WANT
THEM DESTROYED.

I JUST, UM...

I JUST CAN'T LET THEM GO.

WELL, I'VE BEEN
STUDYING THIS.

AND THERE'S DEFINITELY
SOME NEGATIVE ENERGY

WITH THESE MASKS.

JEANNETTE DIDN'T WANT
TO HEAR THAT.

SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO ACCEPT THE FACT

THAT IT COULD'VE BEEN SOMETHING
ON A NEGATIVE LEVEL.

JEANNETTE, CAN
WE REMOVE THEM?

NO. I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE THEM DOWN.

CAN WE AT LEAST
COVER THEM UP, THEN?

Jeannette:
I WAS STILL SO ATTACHED TO THEM.

BUT HE JUST FELT, YOU KNOW,
THAT IT HAD TO BE THEM

AND THAT IF I WASN'T GOING
TO TAKE THEM DOWN,

I AT LEAST NEEDED TO COVER THEM.

SO I DID.

John: A LOT OF TIMES,
WHEN THESE ITEMS ARE COVERED,

IT CAN HELP TO CALM DOWN
A LOT OF THE ENERGY.

THESE TWO, RIGHT HERE.

OKAY. WILL THESE WORK?

THEY'LL WORK JUST FINE.

JUST COVER IT UP.

JEANNETTE,
IF THE ACTIVITY CONTINUES,

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO REMOVE THESE MASKS.

I UNDERSTAND.

CAN YOU SHOW ME
THE REST OF THE HOUSE?

JEANNETTE AND I WALKED
THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOUSE.

AND I WAS RECITING SEVERAL
DIFFERENT PRAYERS.

THIS HELPS TO BREAK
NEGATIVE ENERGY.

Jeannette:
I FELT GOOD ABOUT THAT.
I WAS HOPEFUL.

"THIS IS GONNA HELP.

THINGS ARE GONNA GET BETTER."

Narrator:
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS,

WHILE JEANNETTE DOESN'T
EXPERIENCE ANY ACTIVITY,

SHE BECOMES FURTHER
AND FURTHER WITHDRAWN.

Jeannette: I WAS ALONE.
IT WAS MADDENING.

AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING
I COULD DO ABOUT IT.

I THINK IT AFFECTED
ME PSYCHOLOGICALLY.

[ RUMBLING ]

[ GASPING, SCREAMING ]

IT WAS JUST LIKE MY NIGHTMARE.

[ SCREAMING ]

AND I BEGAN HEARING POPS
COMING FROM UNDER THE FLOOR.

BUT THEY WERE
A DEEP TONE.

[ CREAKING ]

IN MY MIND, THIS WAS
THE FOUNDATION POPPING.

AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.

[ WHIMPERING ]

Narrator:
JEANNETTE IS OUT OF OPTIONS.

SHE MUST GET RID
OF THE MASKS.

THE ACTIVITY WAS BUILDING.
IT WAS CHAOS IN THE HOUSE.

AND I KNEW THEY HAD TO GO.

[ WHIMPERING ]

[ CREAKING CONTINUES ]

JOHN -- HE SAID I COULD
SEND THEM TO HIM

BECAUSE HE COULD KEEP THEM SAFE
AND HE COULD STUDY THEM.

AND HE WOULD KEEP THEM

FROM DESTROYING
SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIVES

OR WREAKING HAVOC IN THEM.

I TOOK THE MASKS.
THEY WERE IN THE BOX.

AND I PUT THEM
IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR.

AND I GOT PINNED AGAINST
THE STEERING WHEEL.

AND MY KNEES WERE
ALL JAMMED UP IN FRONT.

AND I WAS OUT
IN THE INTERSECTION,

STUCK AGAINST
THE STEERING WHEEL.

[ GRUNTING ]

I WAS TERRIFIED.

[ WHIMPERING ]

I ABSOLUTELY THOUGHT,

"THESE MASKS ARE GOING TO GET ME
KILLED IN MY CAR.

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME."

[ HORN BLARING ]

Narrator: FOR MORE "A HAUNTING,"
VISIT tlc.com.

[ WHIMPERING ]

Narrator: JEANNETTE OSBOURNE
HAS BEEN TERRORIZED

BY WHAT SHE BELIEVES
TO BE MASKS POSSESSED

BY EVIL SPIRITS.

[ CREAKING ]

[ WHIMPERING ]

Jeannette: THE ACTIVITY
WAS ESCALATING.

MY DREAM HOUSE WAS ABSOLUTELY
BECOMING A NIGHTMARE.

I WAS AFRAID TO BE IN IT.

THE MASKS HAD TO GO.

I WAS STUCK AGAINST THE STEERING
WHEEL OUT IN THE INTERSECTION.

[ WHIMPERING ]

I REALLY THOUGHT
I COULD BE KILLED.

I WAS GONNA GET HIT.

NO, STOP!

[ HORN BLARING ]

AAH!

AND I ALMOST GOT HIT
BY ANOTHER CAR

WHO WAS DOING 40 MILES AN HOUR
ON THE BIG CROSS STREET.

[ GASPING ]

I GOT OUT.

HAD TO GO OUT
MY PASSENGER DOOR TO GET OUT.

THE BOX WAS GONE.

IT WAS JUST GONE.

NO.

[ PANTING ]

NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

I WAS SURPRISED.

I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

Narrator:
FEARING FOR HER SAFETY,

JEANNETTE REFUSES TO GO
BACK IN THE HOUSE.

Jeannette:
THAT WAS OUR DREAM HOUSE.

IT WAS THE NICEST PLACE
WE'VE EVER LIVED.

BUT WE LOST EVERYTHING
IN THAT HOUSE,

AND IT ALMOST TORE
OUR FAMILY APART.

WHEN WE MOVED,
FINANCIALLY, IT WAS A HUGE LOSS.

BUT FAMILY,
THAT'S WHAT WAS IMPORTANT,

YOU KNOW, TO GET
OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER.

WE WERE ABLE TO RETURN
TO A NORMAL LIFE.

Narrator: THE FAMILY EVENTUALLY
SETTLES IN ARIZONA.

Jeannette: MY HUSBAND
PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR.

AND, YOU KNOW,
IT'S A HORRIBLE THING

TO LOSE YOUR FATHER,
TO LOSE YOUR HUSBAND.

BUT IN A WAY,
IT'S BROUGHT US CLOSER.

Grier:
BUT THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER.
I'M LIVING WITH MY MOM.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN

TO KEEP EACH OTHER AFLOAT.

WE'RE DEFINITELY CLOSER
BECAUSE OF IT.

Narrator: AS FOR THE MASKS...

Jeannette: MY SON WAS RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, WHAT HE FELT
ABOUT THESE MASKS FROM DAY 1,

FROM THE MINUTE HE SAW THEM,
HE WAS RIGHT.

Grier: THE MASKS DEFINITELY
CREEPED ME OUT.

I REALLY JUST DIDN'T WANT THEM
IN THE HOUSE AT ALL.

I DEFINITELY THINK IT WAS WEIRD
THAT THEY JUST WENT MISSING.

AS FAR AS MY BELIEFS,
VOODOO IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS

THAT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE
YOU JUST SHOULDN'T MESS WITH,

UNLESS YOU'RE EXPERIENCED IN
THAT SORT OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICE.

I DON'T COLLECT MASKS ANYMORE.

IN FACT, I'M VERY CAREFUL WHAT
I BRING INTO MY HOUSE AT ALL.

I ABSOLUTELY THINK
THEY'RE OUT THERE

LOOKING FOR ANOTHER FAMILY,
ANOTHER PERSON.

AND I THINK WHOEVER
COMES ACROSS THESE THINGS...

MOM.

MOM!

...IS GONNA FEEL
THAT ATTRACTION TO THEM,

IS GONNA BE DRAWN TO THEM.

John: JEANNETTE,
SHE CALLED ME, HYSTERICAL.

AND SHE WAS SAYING,
"JOHN, THE BOX IS GONE.

THEY JUST TOTALLY DISAPPEARED."

THAT TOLD ME,
RIGHT THEN AND THERE,

WHATEVER WAS ATTACHED
WITH THESE TWO PARTICULAR MASKS

WAS EXTREMELY POWERFUL.

AND THEY DID NOT WANT JEANNETTE
SHIPPING THEM OFF TO ME.

[ WHIMPERING ]

[ HORN BLARING ]

John: IT DOES BOTHER ME.

[ PANTING ]

AM I CONCERNED THAT THEY MIGHT
SHOW UP IN ANOTHER THRIFT STORE

OR THEY MIGHT SHOW UP
AT A TAG SALE SOMEPLACE

AND WREAK HAVOC
FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?

ABSOLUTELY.

WHAT'S EVEN MORE INTERESTING
IS, WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

AND WHO WILL BE CALLING NEXT?
