[Zak] Most castles are fortresses built

to keep enemies out,

but Houska Castle in the Czech Republic

seems to have been built to keep something in.

Constructed seven centuries ago

for unknown reasons,

it has passed through a series of mysterious owners

from a traitor executed by his king

to a Swedish occultist

to Nazis during World War II.

Known by locals as the gateway to Hell,

the mysteries of the castle's dark past

may have something to do with the legend

that it was constructed over the pit to Hell as a barrier

designed to keep dangerous creatures

from entering our realm.

I'm sending my film crew there

to find out if this legend is true

and if this barrier to the underworld...

is working.

[Zak] Across every ocean...

[man] It is not too secured and safe to get there.

[Zak] lurking deep within the darkness,

evil forces are preying upon the living.

[man] Exorcisms are on the rise in Mexico.

[Zak] I am sending a camera crew across the globe

to document these events.

I am Zak Bagans

and this is Destinations of the Damned.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Zak] One look at Prague,

the capital of the Czech Republic

and you wouldn't be surprised to see

an ancient castle here.

But my crew's destination lies 40 miles to the north,

farther from civilization.

No one seems to know who built Houska Castle or why.

The reasons have been lost to history.

When Houska Castle was constructed in the 13th century,

there were no nearby trade routes or borders to defend,

the usual reasons for building a fortress in this era.

And it wasn't built over a water source, like a spring,

which was usually a prerequisite for castles

in order to survive sieges.

Why would you build this castle here

unless it serves a deeper, darker purpose?

My crew is greeted at the front gate by Miroslav,

the castle's current warden.

[in other language]

-[man] Hello. -[in other language]

-Come in. -[man speaking]

[Miroslav speaking]

[Zak] Not even Miroslav knows why the castle was built.

The most beautiful thing about Houska

is that you will not learn anywhere

and nobody will tell you who this castle was built by,

when, and most importantly, why.

It's simply not possible to classify this castle

into the more or less generally valid patterns

pertaining to castle.

-[man] Thank you. -Follow me, please.

Since the castle has nothing to guard outside,

they say that its purpose

is obviously to guard something inside

to prevent something from getting out of here

into the outside world.

[Zak] When the castle was first constructed,

most of its defenses were facing inward,

directed toward the central courtyard

where perhaps the real focus was on its chapel

with its entrance opening into the courtyard.

[Miroslav speaking]

And frescoes in the wall...

[Miroslav speaking]

[Miroslav speaking]

[Zak] The chapel is dedicated to Archangel Michael

who biblically signifies the right-hand path

and all that is good and righteous

and who does battle with Satan himself

in the book of Revelation.

[man] So, this is the origin of Satan?

[suspenseful music playing]

[Zak] So, it's only fitting

that an angel that does battle with Satan

should be its patron.

Through this crack in the earth,

Hell came forth.

[Zak] It's hard to imagine

what life would've been like at the time.

Looking out into the darkness,

knowing the evil that once walked the land

is creeping just outside your door.

Gary Vasey is a medium and author

who is an expert on Houska Castle.

The biggest surprise for this historian

is how little written history there is

for such a prominent castle.

[Gary] Imagine a thousand years ago,

this would've been a forest with fissures and caves.

It would've been a very strange landscape.

It seems there was a wooden hunting lodge here

in the 9th century and then suddenly,

there's mention of a castle in 12-something.

But there's very little history about this castle,

it's like it was a secret.

[producer] So, what is your background

with this type of research in history?

Well, first of all, I'm a geologist,

Ph.D. geologist.

And for the last three or four years,

I've been investigating all kinds of paranormal sites

and their relationship with earth energies.

And I've been to Houska several times

and discovered a few things

that I think are worthy of note.

Like many places of archaeological interest,

this castle lies on the intersection

of two earth energy lines.

[Zak] These earth energy lines

are commonly referred to as ley lines.

And centuries ago,

prominent buildings like Houska

were often built where these lines intersect.

Gary has dowsing rods that he uses to detect them.

Here we go. Here's the start of the line

and it heads in a certain direction.

And someone at some point in the history of the castle

has placed this stone cross here.

Now, this is actually on the center of the line

and the line goes in that direction into the chapel.

So, you see, this is a cross.

And around the other side is a flat stone

that is in a similar sort of position

with respect to the earth energy line.

And this seems to have some effect

on the type of energies that you've got in the chapel,

which normally when you get

two earth energy lines crossing

and they cross often in chapels,

you get a very nice sort of prayerful atmosphere.

But in this castle, the closer I get to the chapel,

the more dizzy and disoriented

and heavy I feel.

It's a very strange negative energy.

[Zak] Gary can think of no reason

for this cross to be placed here,

exactly along the ley lines outside the castle

other than as a deliberate attempt

to modify the energies for some unknown reason.

[Gary] The earth energies that I'm picking up

these types of lines,

they're basically sound...

Low frequency sound waves

created by the earth's core and outer core

and the differential movement between them

because one's solid and the other one's liquid.

And I think that it has been used

for some other purpose

than just prayer and meditation.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Gary] So, this is the chapel.

And under the floor

should be the fissure in the sandstone rocks.

The chapel was built over it

ostensively to stop

whatever was coming out of it from escaping.

[creature growling]

[Gary] But this is the most interesting one here.

This is a left-handed female centaur

shooting an arrow at a human.

And left-handed, of course, is a sign of evil.

And that's a very strange depiction to have

in a chapel of any type.

Some of the depictions are fairly common,

Saint Christopher, things like this.

But this is rather unique

and very, very special.

It seems to suggest

that something has come out of this fissure,

perhaps this centaur, and that it's evil,

the left-handed nature.

But I don't like spending very much time in here

'cause the energy really is...

I really feel it quite strongly.

I feel quite dizzy, actually.

Before they sealed the gate with the chapel,

a prisoner agreed to be lowered into it

on a rope in exchange for a pardon.

[Zak] The prisoner was told

to report what he saw in the pit,

but something went very wrong.

[Gary] He was lowered into the hole.

And after he disappeared,

he started to scream and shout,

so they brought him back out.

He was hurt and white.

He had aged visibly

and he passed away the next day.

He claimed that the Hell down there

was far worse than the punishment

that awaited him here.

As far as I know, it was only done the once

and then they built the chapel over the top of it.

And the castle was built

to basically keep whatever is down there in,

as opposed to, you know,

what a normal castle would be built for

as a defensive structure.

Somebody at some point in time

changed the way the energy lines

come into this chapel.

We have a couple of candidates.

One would be the Swedish occultist

who was practicing

what were called satanic rites here.

He was certainly murdered in this building.

Yes. We can go and take a look if you want.

Anything to get out of here.

God, yeah.

[Zak] The Swedish occultist known as Oronto

claimed he was experimenting on an elixir

for eternal life.

But locals were so afraid of his unholy experiments

that two hunters broke in

and murdered him inside the castle's walls.

So, this is where the Swedish guy

was supposed to be killed, in this particular room.

And apparently, his apparition

sometimes appears in this alcove here.

[suspenseful music playing]

I've not seen anything,

but there is really a strange vibe certainly

in the room, isn't there? You feel that?

It's got a really strange echo in here as well

all of a sudden.

-Can you hear that? -[producer] Yeah.

That's just started.

Oh, my goodness me.

Can you feel it?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Something weird going on right now.

[Zak] But Oronto wasn't the only man said

to use the energies here

to conduct his dark experiments.

During World War II,

the Nazis also tried to bend it to their evil will

with black magic.

[Gary] During the second World War,

this castle was occupied by the Nazis,

the SS to be specific.

And there is a legend

that they conducted

occult experiments and practices here.

[speaking other language]

In order to create or help to create the master race.

[man 1 speaking other language]

[man 2 speaking other language]

[man 1 speaking other language]

This could be another source for this strange atmosphere

and the misuse of the earth energies

that you find at the castle.

[Zak] And they supposedly used

Turkish soldiers to guard the castle

because their language barrier with the locals

would help keep the rituals a secret.

They attempted to perform magic here

and the former minister of culture told me

that the Germans tried to win the second World War here

at the last minute.

Clearly, they failed.

He claimed that during that ritual,

which evidently got out of hand as well,

the Germans died here.

[man 1 speaking other language]

[man 2 speaking other language]

[Zak] The longer Gary is inside the castle,

the more unnerved he becomes.

Although the chapel was intended as a seal,

is it possible that the many experiments

and occult practices have weakened it over time,

allowing darkness to seep through

and in some instances, even attack the living?

Could the Nazis have reopened the gateway to Hell

in their quest to exploit its powers?

Considering the way this castle seems to draw evil into it,

it's no surprise the building is said to be haunted.

Investigators even claimed to have been attacked

by entities they can't see.

[in other language]

There are problems with the gear.

Sounds didn't record properly.

A chandelier started to make noises

for no good reason.

They even encountered a sort of paranormal attack

where her colleague suddenly

experienced burns on her stomach.

[in other language]

Her colleague Andre described this burn

as an itching sensation,

which then started to fill with some kind of liquid.

[Zak] Some claimed that a contributing factor

to these malevolent forces

responsible for attacks on the living

could have derived from the discovery

just a decade ago of a secret chamber.

[in other language]

It's this place.

[in other language]

[producer] Oh, my God.

[Zak] Miro believes this room may be

from an even older structure

that existed here before Houska Castle was built over it.

[producer] So, what would the purpose of this room have been?

He doesn't know.

He thinks maybe this is the gate to other worlds.

Because there isn't a reason.

There had been a lot of water here

and when they were all already sweeping the earth and floor,

it suddenly collapsed to that little window over there.

[producer] If there is a gateway to hell here,

this could be sitting right above it.

The gateway to hell is blocked by the chapel.

Thank God it holds fast.

[ominous music playing]

[Zak] An empty room without a purpose,

at least nothing visible to the eye.

It's another mystery in a castle

whose every purpose is invisible

and open to speculation and legend.

But there are some ways we can confirm

at least some of what has been said.

The following day, I call in a ground sonar team

to see if this gateway to hell physically exists.

This smaller radar unit

can search as deep as 30 feet underground.

[man speaking in English]

Mmm-hmm.

[in other language]

[Zak] The shallow radar search in the chapel

doesn't detect anything that would confirm

the existence of the giant crack

in the earth from the legend.

[man 1 in other language]

[man 2] Just sandstone layers.

Do you wanna try in the courtyard?

Yeah, we can, why not?

[Zak] They continue the search in the main courtyard

where there's more room to maneuver the device.

Still searching only as deep as 30 feet underground.

[man in other language]

[man speaking in English]

[producer] About how far down is that?

[Zak] Finally, a success,

but the moment they try to narrow the focus down

to a more specific area, something strange happens.

-[in other language] -[man speaking]

[Zak] The system drops the connection over and over.

[suspenseful music playing]

[in other language]

[laughs]

[in other language]

[man speaking in English]

[producer] It was working fine until we came.

Yeah, it was... It was working fine

inside the chapel, but...

[producer] Does this happen a lot?

Like anywhere else?

-[producer] Yeah. -No.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Zak] Once the ground radar team

moves outside to the front section of the castle,

they have the room to utilize their larger,

much more powerful ground radar

which is capable of detecting hundreds of feet

down below the surface.

These are the antennas.

This one is a transmitting antenna.

With these antennas, on the lower frequency,

we can see much deeper

than the higher frequency antenna

that we measured with before.

Looks like there is a big deep crack.

It's like 12 meters wide.

And we can see it up to 200 meters underground.

[producer] So it goes down 200 meters?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[Zak] Using he much more powerful ground radar,

they have discovered a crack that is over 600 feet deep.

[man] The crack between the sandstone bodies

is filled with different kind of materials.

[producer] The legend is they did try to dump things down...

-Yeah, it-- -...the crack to fill it up

but they could never hit the bottom.

That's pretty possible, yeah.

[Zak] The more powerful equipment, too large to fit inside the chapel,

has confirmed the existence of a large anomaly in the earth.

If construction partially filled in the crack in the chapel,

that would explain why the smaller radar wasn't able to detect it.

It looks like the crack is

going more down up to 200 meters.

But it's possible it goes much more down.

If you want to know the direction where the crack is going,

-we should do more measuring. -[producer] Sure.

But for that, we need longer antennas

to get on lower frequencies.

[producer] So it's so deep it goes beyond

where your current equipment can even detect?

-Yes, that's what I'm saying. -[producer] Okay.

Exactly.

[Zak] Up next.

An abandoned hotel in the Philippines

that is so dangerous,

it may have led to the death

of a film director.

On top of Dominican Hill,

in the picturesque Filipino city of Baguio

sits a former hotel with a past so evil,

visitors aren't allowed inside after dark.

Originally built as a retreat for priests and nuns,

this refuge became a slaughterhouse during World War II

and a hotel of death in the 1970s.

But one death in particular stands out.

In 2012,

a feature film was shot in this building

and for everyone's safety,

the crew was told not to discuss anything paranormal

and I fear that this warning may not have been enough

to save the life of the director.

I'm sending my crew on a mission to find out

if this is building's violent history

opened a rift between worlds

leading to the death of this innocent man.

[intense music playing]

[Zak] The journey begins with a four-hour drive

from Manila to Baguio

and my crew learns there's an imminent threat

of an incoming Category 5 typhoon.

[Charlton] So there's an incoming storm

expected to hit the Philippines on Friday.

[Zak] Small grocers and the occasional wood carving shop

line the treacherous mountain roadways

as we snake our way towards the infamous Diplomat Hotel.

[intense music playing]

[Zak] This abandoned hotel has such dark history,

it became the inspiration for a horror film.

In 2012,

a filmmaker named Christopher Ad. Castillo

filmed a movie here called The Diplomat Hotel

based on the site's infamous reputation

for dangerous paranormal activity.

In an interview promoting the film in 2014,

Castillo claimed that during production

the paranormal activity was more than his cast and crew could handle.

[Christopher in Filipino]

[in English]

[in Filipino]

[Zak] When making a horror film,

you expect the terror to remain on the set.

The crew didn't count on something evil

following them home and affecting their health.

I think it's possible Castillo may have paid

for this film with his life.

Perched on a hilltop with panoramic views of Baguio,

the building was constructed in 1911

as a retreat for Dominican priests and nuns.

For decades, it was a place of peace and refuge

until World War II, when its history took a dark turn

with the invasion by the Japanese military

in December of 1941.

[Nonnette] During World War II,

it became a refugee camp

to hide from the Japanese.

But the Japanese bombed the city...

and they took over this building

and they made it into a prisoners of war camp.

[Zak] Overtaking the building

was a bloody and violent affair.

[Nonnette] During that time, nuns were raped.

Priests were beheaded.

[Zak] And the women and children

seeking shelter there were butchered

in a brutal show of force by the Japanese.

They claimed one of the fountains on the grounds

ran red with the blood of those killed.

[Nonnette] Atrocities against the friars,

the priests, and the nuns who were here,

they could've done everything and anything they wanted.

[Zak] Horrific events like these

are never forgotten by generations of locals.

Some feel a shudder when they walk by

because evil still permeates the building

and the land around it,

feeding the paranormal activity.

[intense music playing]

[Nonnette] After that, the Americans came

and when they carpet-bombed the city,

the right side of the building

was also damaged.

[Zak] The battle to retake Baguio from the Japanese

took the lives of 2,000 Japanese soldiers.

Some of their officers are said to have died by suicide

inside this building rather than surrender,

possibly adding even more miserable souls

to wander the property.

After World War II,

the building sat empty for several years

until it was remodeled into a hotel.

[Nonnette] After World War II

when they were renovating it,

they found bones,

bones of the priests and women.

[Zak] But by the 1970, someone new moved in.

[Nonnette] In 1973,

they decided to sell the property

and it was purchased by a faith healer

named Antonio Agpaoa.

[Zak] Agpaoa was a world-renowned psychic surgeon.

He created the illusion of performing surgery

with just his fingers,

incorporating sleight of hand and animal blood,

he convinced his patients

that disease lesions had been removed

and their incisions spontaneously healed.

To some, he was a miracle worker,

but to many, he was a dangerous charlatan

who put the lives of thousands in danger.

Is it possible this barbaric conman

was driven by dark forces within the Diplomat Hotel?

In 1982, Agpaoa mysteriously died from a heart attack

when he was just 43 years old

while inside the structure.

And the hotel has sat abandoned ever since.

He may have been a fraud, but did his psychic work

unleash something extremely dark and powerful here?

Although the building lays dormant,

the evil inside continues to affect those

who are willing to enter, like the film crew

who shot the movie The Diplomat Hotel.

The film's assistant director

agreed to meet my crew to share

firsthand her experiences during filming.

I sent my crew halfway around the world

to secure this vital interview.

However, at the last moment, she has decided

not to show up, leaving my producers

-unsure of how to proceed. - [phone ringing]

-Zak, are you there? -[Zak] Yeah.

[Joseph] We have a little bit of situation now.

-[Zak] What's going on? -The interview we had with Mara,

she was the assistant director

of the film that was shot here at the Diplomat,

-she just... -[Zak] Yeah.

She cancelled on us.

[Zak] Why did she cancel?

First she felt sick, then she said,

"Well, can we come back, you know, later?"

And now she said she has a prior engagement.

[Zak] Have you tried calling other crew members?

[Mike] No other crew member will talk to us about this place.

[Zak] They what? They won't come either?

-No. -[Zak] I don't understand

because she was all...

into doing this, so I don't understand.

[Joseph] I kind of feel like it maybe has something

to do with the director dying.

[Zak] Do you think she's too scared

of the place to even go there

and talk about it because of what happened to him?

[Joseph] This place weighs heavy on everybody.

-I don't know. -[Zak] I just wanna be careful

like, you know, we don't know

the whole story about this place

and what happened in this whole film crew

and if something at this location

did factor into the director's death, who knows?

Maybe they know something that we don't.

And I saw the interview with the director,

kind of disturbing to listen to him

knowing that he's now deceased.

And if he knows something that this place has...

is doing to them or has done to them,

like the least that she could do

is at least speak up about it so that we're not putting

our crew members in any type of spiritual risk.

It just doesn't sit well with me.

Something very odd is going on.

I would just say be very careful there, you guys.

Be very careful because we don't know the...

What's really there, you know?

We don't know what energy

that you guys are really dealing with.

And for me to get a call at 2:00 in the morning,

I know it's gotta be serious, so.

-Okay. All right. -[Zak] Okay. All right.

-Thank you, Zak. -Thanks, Zak.

-[Zak] Bye. -All right, bye.

[Zak] The film's director, Christopher Ad. Castillo,

claims that his assistant director had carried on

a conversation with a member of their crew,

who she later learned wasn't on set that day.

This makes me wonder if the Diplomat Hotel

is haunted by a dark entity known as a doppelganger.

Doppelgangers replicate a living person,

but cast no shadows.

Encountering, one can lead to illness or even death.

The assistant director who didn't show up tonight

fell ill for two weeks after leaving

the Diplomat Hotel the last time.

And the director? He died prematurely

at the age of 54 from what his uncle claimed

was cardiac arrest after shooting a film.

Could whatever attached itself to the assistant director

have done the same thing to Castillo?

Was the assistant director lucky to break free while Castillo was not?

Did filming at the Diplomat Hotel cost him his life?

We also learned that Castillo's father,

who was also a filmmaker,

died from a heart attack the same year

this movie was in production.

I wonder if the assistant director still fears a similar fate

and has decided to stay away from this place.

Other members of the film's cast and crew

reported unexplained phenomena here,

and none of the other crew members

that we've reached out to, have even responded to us.

And now, I'm concerned for my own crew.

[Zak] We spend the better part of the next day

attempting to reach the assistant director with no luck.

Fortunately, we get a tip.

There's a local paranormal team called Strange Shadows

that has previously experienced

a terrifying investigation of the Diplomat.

They agreed to accompany us back to the hotel.

Zarckaroo is a paranormal investigator,

Casey is an empath,

and Api is a psychic medium.

They all feel compelled to return,

somehow drawn back to the dangerous structure.

They know we're coming.

This place has a very unique history.

And for me, it's creepy.

'Cause, you know, a lot of people died there.

[Zarckaroo] I've been to this place before.

We just feel this strange energy,

where... it feels like someone is begging on you.

And my friend almost got possessed.

A lot of people get possessed in that place,

so we need to watch out.

[Zak] Hearing these locals tell us

possessions are common at the Diplomat

might explain what happened to the movie crew,

but this team of investigators say

they will put their own health at risk

to help the tortured souls trapped at the hotel.

The team gears up and heads to the entrance,

encountering a caretaker of the property.

I work since 2005

to clean this building.

When I'm working, it seems

somebody's watching me,

embracing me. I feel ghost.

[Zak] Rufina only works during daylight hours

and is terrified to be alone on the property.

Territorial spirit living in here.

[eerie music playing]

[Zak] The stories about headless apparitions

are chilling, because there are headless apparitions

in Japanese culture called Rokurokubi,

whose heads can detach and fly around and attack people,

sometimes even drinking their victims' blood.

This place was occupied by Japanese soldiers.

Have they been replaced by Rokurokubi dark entities?

The Diplomat Hotel quickly gained a reputation

for paranormal activity as locals snuck in

and found more than they were ready to handle.

With this danger in mind,

the investigators prepare by protecting themselves

before they enter the building.

This could be dangerous because no one

is ever allowed to enter the Diplomat at night

due to the darker energies that emerge.

[speaking in other language]

[in English]

Please help us,

to guide and protect us.

[all] Amen.

Remember to keep your energy high.

[Api] And whatever the problem that you have,

please leave it here.

No guilt, no anger.

Just leave it here.

All right.

[eerie music playing]

[Zak] This location's history combines

innocent lives brutally lost

with evil acts that may have introduced dark entities

now keeping those innocent spirits trapped here.

These investigators want to help the spirits

they believe are trapped here,

but they enter knowing they are also at risk

of coming under attack themselves

by the same dark forces

keeping those spirits from moving on.

I wonder if they're experienced enough to handle it.

Leo, a team leader feels a pull toward the courtyard.

Along the way, Zarckaroo performs

a Filipino ritual of throwing coins into the corners of rooms

to appease any spirits residing there.

The reason why I do these rituals where I throw coins,

it's for the respect for the old souls.

It's a kind of peace offering for the spirits.

We're just here to visit.

Ah, thank you.

[Zak] As they make their way to the courtyard,

everyone notices fresh blood on the floor.

[Api] Wait, is that blood?

[Api] Well, I think that it's blood. It's a lot.

[Zak] We are later told that the caretakers

offered a traditional Filipino sacrifice

of a chicken to the restless entities

that reside in the hotel

to protect the team as they investigate.

-[Casey] They're looking at us. -[Zarckaroo] Yup.

[Casey] Yeah.

[eerie music playing]

[Zak] Mikko, the team's skeptic,

is photographing the courtyard

when Leo oddly reaches into the water fountain

that ran red from the blood of the victims here.

Leo knows never to touch the fountain's water.

The team is shocked.

Then, strangely, he smells the water.

-Uh-oh. -[Casey] It's just black.

[Api] He's using a flash, but he's capturing nothing.

It's just black.

[Zarckaroo] It's weird, right?

[Mikko] It's still black.

[Zak] The team feels a spirit in the courtyard

is preventing them from taking its picture.

And within moments, other members of the team

begin to feel an energy shift.

[eerie music playing]

[Zak] Even the sound recordist,

who has never been on a paranormal investigation

says he is starting to become overwhelmed

by a suffocating energy

following him through the hotel.

What happened?

[man speaking]

[Zak] Zarckaroo feels drawn to the spirits

on the second floor, the area of the hotel

that is most known to have malevolent energy.

He also suddenly gets emotional.

Something is starting to affect him,

but he still agrees to go upstairs alone

while the others wait for him on the ground floor.

[eerie music playing]

-[Zarckaroo] They want me to pray for them. -[Api] Exactly.

-[Casey] So are you-- -I can feel it.

-Can you go up? Can you do it? -Sure.

-Okay. -Now?

-Now? -Now.

[Casey] Okay. Okay.

-Alone? -Alone.

-[Casey] He can go up. -[man] Okay.

[Zak] The team agrees to send him alone

while they wait at the bottom of the stairs.

As Zarckaroo heads upstairs,

Api notices that Leo,

the team leader, is acting strange.

-[Api] Are you okay? -I don't know. It's just...

[Casey] You shouldn't touch anything.

He touched the water.

One of our rules in... Is not to touch anything.

He dipped his hand into the water in the fountain.

-[Leo] Yeah. -[Casey] Yeah. And now, he's dizzy.

So, that's connected,

because his daughter died when she was a year old.

[Api] That's why before we came here,

I told you, leave all your problems,

all your negative,

but actually sometimes,

they get into your past.

[Zak] Meanwhile, Zarckaroo is braving the second floor alone.

I can feel the spirits out here.

Direct me to the fountain.

[exhales]

Even I walk to the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil.

[exhales]

[Zak] He is concerned enough for his safety

on this floor that he continues to throw coins

to appease the entities that may be present here.

We have to remember that Zarckaroo

is walking in complete darkness

and he bumps into something unseen

that scratches his arm.

Oh, my God.

-[thud] -Oh!

[winces]

[Zarckaroo speaking in English]

Yeah, it's very dangerous out here,

if I walk.

[Zak] A strange sounding whisper is captured

that appears to be a completely different

vocal tone than Zarckaroo's voice.

[indistinct whispering sound]

[indistinct whispering sound]

[Zak] He now senses someone behind him.

Is there someone following me?

[Leo speaking in English]

[Zak] Leo has been doing investigations

with Casey since 2016

and has never experienced

any feelings of possession before.

Casey believes that Leo is being affected

because of the recent death of his one-year-old daughter.

And now, the audio mixer is complaining

of breathing problems.

[Leo speaking]

[Casey] It's getting hard to breathe.

I think we're feeling every patient's pain.

[eerie music playing]

That... That's what I've been saying.

Like, everyone's, like, coming at us with their messages.

[Casey speaking in English]

[eerie music playing]

[Zak] It's as if they're stuck in the middle

of a struggle between good spirits and their tormentors.

With multiple members of the team

becoming physically affected,

even having their breathing restricted,

they decide it is time to end the investigation

for their own safety and to cleanse the team

so they don't bring anything home with them.

[Api] There's a lot of negative energies here.

[Zak] Observing the effects the Diplomat

had on this experienced local investigation team

gives us a clear idea of how the spirits here

must have impacted the movie crew

who likely did not know how to protect themselves spiritually.

[eerie music playing]

All right. Great.
