Original subtitles

these stories are inspired by the actual

case files of the office of scientific

investigation

and research

well there it is our new house in all

its unfinished glory

looks great dad come on i'll give you

the grand tour dad i've already seen the

pictures and the flower plan

dixie since your mom didn't feel after

coming

at least you could pretend to be excited

whatever

let's just get this father-daughter

stuff over with

[Music]

and some power

it's just one thing after another look

honey i gotta go downstairs check the

breaker box

stay here

dad

open up please open

[Music]

ah

[Music]

dixie

paranormal occurrences can range from

the mundane to the fascinating to the

outright dangerous

well danger was the last thing on blaine

mcallister's mind however

when he decided to build his dream house

a place to live out his vision of family

contentment for years to come

but when the partially constructed

dwelling started to behave as if it had

a mind of its own

dreams quickly turned to horror

file number 34112 case manager connor

doyle day one

we've arrived to investigate the

anomalous activity reportedly taking

place at the future residents of a

blaine mcallister and his family

preliminary interviews are underway

so which one's doyle professor connor

doyle

we're with the osir yeah heard you guys

were coming by

professor kellerman at the university

thought it was worth our attention sure

you're into freak accidents oh this is

my wife

debbie ma'am we're a little shaken up by

all this what with dixie have you yeah

that's our daughter she's not doing too

well since

um the incident any idea what the cause

of all this might be

i think it's just a run of bad luck you

know contractors quitting

on-site accidents this house is taking

forever to finish

we thought with blaine helping the

architects design it it would go yeah

you see there's got to be a rational

explanation for all this so

don't tell me i can't finish my house at

all our house because

it's haunted you know i i don't buy that

bull try telling that to dixie

she's in the hospital under observation

you know it's strange how long it's

taken they've had some trouble with

construction groups

we were the third team hired by mr

mcallister and after what happened

i mean you couldn't pay me and micro

enough to go back to that place i

sold the mcallisters of land about maybe

about a year ago now

a lovely piece of property i got for a

steal

they were going to build a dream house

on it there was this one day

things just went nuts you know equipment

uh wouldn't run

or would start running by itself or

floating around

and there were these bizarre noises

howling

roaring sounds and then the front door

just exploded off its hinges just as

money was coming in

he must have flown 15 feet

and the the floor around me got so hot

the bottom of my boots began to burn but

the last straw joey hats he's walking

around the outside of the house when all

of a sudden he's up to his neck and this

uh stuff is like quicksand you know or

mud i don't know

i mean we pulled him out just in time

but uh

the guy's lucky to be alive

keep sharp and stay in eye contact i

don't want anyone alone

women silva run a scan for any possible

toxic hazards

yes sir

any readings yet negative

let's get out of here

out of concern for the safety of my team

and due to the volatile and extreme

nature of the phenomenon

i'm requesting permission to expedite

protocol and begin an immediate

environmental assessment

it's remarkable you know baseline

results have returned to normal and why

the occurrences take place

gravitational fluctuations electrostatic

discharges

background radiation drops off the map

it's pretty extreme not to mention an

ir210 projecting out of whitman's hands

and flying across the room

anton physiological assessments show

nothing but the mcallister family that

would account for the phenomenon

there is one point of interest though

debbie mcallister's expecting

well i guess congratulations are in

order

blaine doesn't know i don't think so

he's in for a shock they're going to

have twins

yikes really why wouldn't you tell him i

think the

chaos of the situation the uncertainty

about the future of the home

possibly what about overall family

dynamics

aside from the pregnancy the stress

levels are above average

due to the condition of the daughter

she's still hospitalized

and she shouldn't be it's worrisome

she's exhibiting a failure to thrive

lindsay what have you found

the property has changed hands three

times over the past 80 years most

recently it was sold to the mccallisters

that was six years ago

when did the occurrences begin shortly

after but no report of anything strange

by the previous owners

background checks the mcallisters have

solid community ties

they're a low risk factor for

perpetrating a hoax they're broke

everything they have is tied up in the

construction of this house what about

regressive hypnosis results

unfortunately i was able to get

permission from blaine and debbie to put

dixie under

it's understandable considering what

they say she experienced

i'll give her a little more time then

we'll try again

[Music]

now dixie i'm going to take you back

three weeks it's may 28th

and it's about 6 p.m where are you

my dad and i are driving up to the

construction site

do you see the house yet yeah it's a

mess

things are moving it's getting so windy

what's happening it's fine dixie just be

calm

please continue there's someone in the

middle of the wind

can you tell us where is the middle of

the wind

upstairs this is shadow it's rushing

toward me

no no dixie calm yourself

now i want you to slow everything down

and tell me exactly what you see

it's right in front of me what is it

it's someone

but i can't tell who it is wait i can

see someone

who is it dixie who do you see it's me

but i'm different different i'm wearing

glasses

my hair's shorter i look almost like i'm

older

all right dixie you're doing fine no i

just want you she's scared

she's so scared no there's another

shadow it's coming for it it wants to

hurt victory calm yourself

nothing is going to happen to you now i

want you to slow everything down again

and describe to me the second figure

that you're seeing no

no i can't tell and there's more figures

lying on the floor in the dining room

how many figures dixie i think this

should stop

oh my god no come back now

file number 34112 initiating full

environmental monitoring and

surveillance and proceeding with extreme

caution

this complaint is full scale level five

no investigator will be on site without

a partner for more than five minutes

due to the volatile nature of the

phenomenon i'm requesting that

additional personnel be assigned to the

case

i haven't heard on that let me ask you

include that with the data pouch

did the analysis of the data at

headquarters corroborate our findings

the residue levels are lower but they

concur with our findings

and no conclusions it's our job

how are sylvan whitman well we've got

lacerations concussions some internal

bleeding

they're recovering as anticipated but uh

they'll still have to be hospitalized

for a few more days

77 separate accounts of unstable and

destructive aka in the last two days

and that doesn't even include all the

testimonials from the various

construction crews before we arrived

i've just been reviewing their accounts

this big black

figure i don't know like a shadow or

something

blasting through the room and throws me

against the wall

the worst thing is this high-pitched

shriek

i still can't get that sound out of my

head

his account was verified by several of

his co-workers is there any pattern

developing as to when the activity

occurs

no consistency whatsoever although it

does appear to be building

shadows figured prominently in

everyone's testimony there any

first-hand sightings by our team

no not yet although we've got the

equipment in place something's out there

we'll get it on tape

dixie described one of the shadows as an

older version of herself

exactly i'm thinking that we should play

off the pk angle

but there's no evidence to suggest that

she's responsible for all this

except her description it might be more

objective than we think

we need to better understand what she

saw anton how she doing

not improving keep an eye on her all

right

what's the next course of

i've action the exterior of the probe

hopefully it will stand whatever the

phenomenon could throw at it what are we

looking for

ah fluctuations in air pressure regular

seismic activity

it works put it in position

okay here we go

[Music]

celsius readings dropping rapidly 10

degrees

minus 10 minus 20. what's the exterior

temperature surrounding the house

it's constant 22 degrees centigrade and

holding

the temperature decrease is only

occurring inside the premises

[Music]

try and pinpoint where the seismic

activity is originating

check this out temperature levels are

now increasing exterior is still

constant interior

plus 15 plus 20 degrees celsius seismic

activity contained in the first floor

it appears to be approaching the probe

are we getting all this we're losing our

transmission

seismic activity on top of the probe

case log update clients request

termination procedures have been

initiated

acoustical atmospheric and nuclear flux

technologies have been introduced in the

environment

all elimination procedures have thus far

proved unsuccessful considering

a bridge procedure with osir ai

specialists

ai specialist what's that it's uh

operative specializing in alternative

information utilizing metaphysical

techniques

pardon me she's a psychic

oh come on our gifts are really quite

remarkable we've tested her extensively

well how can she help we've had some

success with these procedures in the

past

contact with the other side helps us

develop non-mainstream scientific

approaches

well look i'm i'm beyond questioning

anything now you just

do whatever you have to do to make this

thing stop

how's dixie just getting worse

debbie's worried sick about her i mean

physically

sick i was talking with dr hendricks

yeah right

he feels that debbie may be under some

pressure i'll say

she's talking about cutting our losses

and dumping this place

so why don't you because we've always

dreamed of owning our own home

what's really important to you blend

your house or your family

you're not in this alone go talk to your

wife

there is a presence in the house several

of them in fact

but what confuses me is that i'm

receiving no information from the past

that's extremely rare peter

what's your analysis of the seismic

activity recorded by the probe

well here's the sound as we recorded it

and this is it sped up with all the

extraneous noises filtered out

footsteps exactly but coming from what

or who dixie described what five figures

one of which was the older version of

herself anton it was definitely twins

debbie mcallister's having

yeah she's well into her first trimester

it's quite a shock for blaine

are you suggesting that all of this

could be related to precognition

well i was unable to sense anything from

the past

which leaves the future as a possibility

all right all right

so there's five shadow figures five

members

of the mcallister family once the twins

are born exactly

what if in a parallel dimension or

another timeline the mcallister family

moved into this house and lived there

for several years

and then something happens um a home

invasion

leading to multiple murders or worse a

family member flips out and goes on a

killing spree

where we heading with this perhaps

somehow the parallel

family is trying to warn our clients

not to move into this particular house

and dixie

is the messenger

he's starting again are we getting a

signal yeah

audio and visual link up now

affirmative thank you coming through

loud and clear

you're welcome so anyway boss i've got

some news uh

that he's gonna have twins twins

what's the due date uh november november

oh that's amazing blaine yeah so

you double size your family like that

can understand why i'm here

yeah i can understand i guess um the

house isn't big enough anymore

yeah and debbie wants to stay in town

you know be closer to her parents

so what are you proposing i take the

property off your hands

you would be doing me and my family one

hell of a big favor

now let's see what happens

oh i don't know you know the market on

the house that size is dead

[Music]

yeah but you housing starts are up about

30 so it's only a matter of time

times money no

so so make me an offering you know i

don't think i can do any better than

10 under market value

he's changed his mind no

daddy no

no

come on plane

done

[Music]

you get all that affirmative donor well

done

well it worked

[Music]

final log update after the land

transaction was finalized we determined

that the selling of the property by the

mcallisters resulted in the

disappearance of the phenomena

the home has since been sold to another

couple the penfields

and though we've encountered no further

kinetic phenomena we will continue to

monitor the property as per standard

procedure

case manager conor doyle out

was this simply an extremely active

poltergeist hunt case in which the

mcallisters were being warned about dire

events to come

by future visions of themselves should

they move into their dream house

at 5214 corvallis present well this is

one speculation investigators could

formulate

when the osir made it clear that his

family's safety might depend on it

blaine mcallister willingly sold the

house and blaine learned the sometimes

elusive but ultimately obvious truth

that a dream home is not built with wood

brick or stone

but rather on the foundation of love the

contentment and happiness of one's

family

come on adam slow down there's no way

look skinny dipping was your idea

my excellent idea well not if dad finds

out where i was

you telling me it wasn't worth it see

sally and janine

huh i guess

look if we keep going we might get home

for breakfast

this sucks let's cut through leighton's

ranch that'll get us home in 20 minutes

it's off limits that's sore sally and

janine

they're not church gone girls boys

hey it's three o'clock in the morning

how's leighton never gonna know

you come little brother i'll leave you

for the coyotes

come on you loser keep up you sure we're

going the right way sure i'm sure

when you get over that rise you look for

beacon's gas station

and we're home free we got it

hey did you hear that what is it

something's coming let's go

[Applause]

[Music]

the seti project the search for

extraterrestrial intelligence

a worldwide network of radio dishes

designed to receive any communication

from outer space cultures if they exist

now despite the absence to date of any

such messages and the repeated

non-acknowledgement of actual contact by

our north american military

we are continually confronted with

reports of craft sightings

communications and abductions associated

with a variety of sentient

extraterrestrial beings

when the osir was asked to investigate

anomalous lights in crescent county iowa

it found the bewildered resident's

agitated state as challenging as the

phenomenon it had set out to analyze

all right fred what's going on here i

think you know jesse

after those kids were taken last week

fred we still don't know what happened

last week now i want all you to move on

out of here

there it is they're back

what the hell

so

file number 52111 case manager connor

doyle initial case log entry

we're investigating a possible ufo

citing an acclaimed alien abduction in

crescent county iowa

our main contact is the sheriff jesse

weckel

i'm not sure what to think anymore other

than this town is going nuts

so there were multiple witnesses for

each sighting

man you'd be hard-pressed to find

somebody in this town who hasn't seen

those damn likes in the sky

you saw them yourself oh hell yeah

although whether i saw northern lights

or

the gray come down and say hello i saw

something

our contacts at the faa confirmed that

nothing was scheduled to fly over your

airspace

during the time of the settings no

military flights or training exercises

within 100 miles

yeah i've been down that it's a weather

balloon road i got nothing

so we only have visual confirmation not

if you factor in the keeler boys story

well exactly it's what happened to those

boys that got the town all lit up

they're not talking now well that's chad

and adam

they know when to climb up oh like

misdemeanors

normal behavior for kids that age stuck

out here in the sticks

your report says the doctor who examined

them feels they underwent something

traumatic

well they told everyone they were

abducted by aliens and they've got the

scars to prove it

those boys were as good as scared as

i've ever seen two kids get

yeah i've been waiting out there since

those boys first got broke

i figured if those things came back

again we better be ready to defend our

young

well it's clear and irrefutable that

these vessels are from outer space

otherwise why would you folks even be

here

about a week later i came back again

circled the field again but there were

too many of us for them to try to make

the landing

i'll be down if i'm going to let some

alien take our children for their

experiments

there was something going on on my land

i slept right through it

my wife and kids too i was thinking

maybe it was a flock of geese or car

lights reflecting from the highway

maybe just a couple kids up to something

it's important to remember

they're clearly trying to tell us

something we must decipher the message

we're cutting through this field when it

happened you can it man they don't want

to hear

come on this flying saucer came out of

nowhere we tried to run but it was too

fast

you want to look this way please guys

look admit it chad it was amazing why

don't we just tell the whole town i'm

just not shut up

sheriff weckel and fred hilliard carried

them in here like two sacks of potatoes

around 5 a.m

what symptoms did the boys present

dehydration disorientation both had

injuries and pupil response time

consistent with the serious concussion

i had to sedate them both and keep them

under close observation on the glasgow

coma scale

lock seven some type of physiological

trauma that affected their nervous

system

first and second degree burns on feet

and hands

and there's the gouge on chad's shoulder

he said the aliens are taking a sample

their dad's convinced it's an act to try

to get out of some jam what do you think

doctor

well like old doc klein used to tell us

at harvard

it's how the patient tells you this

[Music]

case log update after interviewing

nearly a dozen witnesses i've decided to

expedite protocol and focus our

attention on the land surrounding the

sightings

we've established a 10 square mile

perimeter it's hoped that a thorough

on-site inspection in conjunction with

physiological assessment of the subjects

will help us determine what happened

here

i've charted all the reported ufo

sighting to date ran a computer model

they could have been anywhere within

this 20-mile square area

so unless the boys tell us more i can't

accurately assess the event's location

no power lines the water towers

nothing that can be perceived as a ufo

there are some fallow spots other than

that there's nothing out here but corn

barley and soybeans not geophysical

elements no anomalous energy fields

you think any combination of this

vegetation can cause hallucinogenic

effects

you got nothing more than your basic

agricultural staples out here

you put all this stuff together you'll

get nothing but a really healthy

breakfast cereal

exactly do you have any

insomnia shortness of breath migraine

headaches

yeah all of the above chalking up the

big alimony in a 24-hour day job

how's your night vision any um clouding

or dimming of peripheral vision

some you seem to know what you're

looking for donna yeah i've seen

symptoms like this before

where people who lead stressful lives or

another ufo freaks right

i wasn't abducted by a ufo doc those

boys were

i say they were no i'm believing this

whole ufo thing

sheriff you're a little overworked but

otherwise you're invited that's what my

wife told me

the day she left me

where were you we were cutting through

this field when it came out of nowhere

it felt like something was pushing us

down the lights were blinding and

the air smelled funny like after a

thunderstorm and then they knocked us

out

zapped us i guess who did

aliens

is this true chad when i woke up man i

heard all over

it must have happened still feel sick

i feel better now after it happened i

thought i was gonna die

adam i'm talking to chad are you sure

that the wounds you received came from

that ordeal

that evening this wasn't no ordeal man

you're abducted

by aliens don't you get it

[Music]

chad and adam registered high

cardiovascular and neurological

responses during questioning

they're hiding something but i can't

pinpoint exactly what

looks like they were pretty rough shape

to me yes aside from cuts and lesions

there's evidence of dysrhythmia on both

boys but irregular heartbeat can be

inherited genetically

true enough but the pattern of the

legions suggests

some radiation burns i'd learn more if i

could regress the boys to a hypnotic

state but

they won't cooperate their fathers on

the release forms

chad and adam refuse to acknowledge

their parents authority legal or

otherwise

we'll get what we can from other sources

sandra anything further from your scans

of the surrounding area

minor traces of pesticide use i've sent

soil samples to headquarters for further

analysis

tasha background checks into the area

are fairly typical so far

strong interactive community

agrarian-based economy no previous

record of phenomena before these

incidents

suddenly half the town turns up for a

free light show what about people

passing through

migrant workers oh fairly closed mouth

i think they're more concerned i might

work for immigration all swore they saw

nothing

reduce the perimeter prepare full

monitoring and surveillance

i want to know if anything comes within

five miles of this field

we've begun monitoring of the area in

the hopes of finding some evidence of

what has visited this site twice in the

past three weeks

in the eight days since initiating

surveillance we've picked up nothing

with the help of the sheriff's

department the area's been secured from

civilian interference

sorry fred the road's closed we got a

flood from an irrigation overflow

sheriff you might be able to fool

everyone else with these lies

but we know the truth you and the

government are up to something

it's got to do with those ufos fred

the road is closed that's all there is

to it now turn the vehicle around and go

home

this is better work

des moines air traffic has clear skies

no scheduled flights military or

civilian

same as when the other sightings

occurred i have something

long-range bogies coming in from the

northwest at

five miles in closing how many two

coming in low 20 feet off the deck

dash i tracked them on the litton scope

do we have anything on radar

we have target lock confirmed two

buggies zeroing in on our position

coming fast i can't identify them night

vision image isn't clear

radar tracking systems are down

i don't understand this they must be

journalists we still have visuals launch

the aerial pro i want identification now

[Music]

probe is airborne hold on

i've lost remote scans long range

sensors are blind

something's definitely interfering with

our tracking system anything from the

probe

[Music]

it disappeared the hell is going on out

there anybody

case log update we are currently

attempting to retrieve the remote aerial

probe lost during last night's

operations

it remains doubtful as to whether the

probe holds any information which could

help us identify the two ufos we tracked

before our instruments were jammed

breaking up on them

does your equipment ever work properly

uh-huh over here about 20 yards

so you didn't see anything in the sky

last night no lights

i'm sorry uh there's still nothing i got

it

geez what a mess this thing sure took a

beating what could have caused this

you're all right sounds like a bronchial

infection

well don't worry about me what have you

had this illness

too long many of us are sick but we must

work

for our families let's get him into the

lab run some tests

dr henrich would know for sure but he

needs a ventilating inhaler some

[Music]

antibiotics

[Music]

okay

how are they luis has a severe chest

infection

and as friends we found large amounts of

chemical based toxins in their system

i haven't seen anything like this since

kurdistan any trace of narcotics well

that's hard to say

conor they've been exposed to something

sanders trying to identify it could it

have come from the field possibly

he says he doesn't know where it could

have come from but the people he works

with most of them have the same illness

and they're all here working illegally

so no one will speak up

tasha i want you and peter to go on a

covert sub operation at the exact

location of the sightings

see if we can make a positive id of any

ufos using remote sensing equipment

do you want us to continue operation

without permission from the landowner

for now we need visual confirmation

directly from the site

okay if the ufo's return

all right yeah i was just thinking about

what those two boys went through

be careful don't worry

oh and i'll take care of axes

lab one this is tasha we're entering the

east quadrant of leighton's field

let's set up the scanners over here okay

tasha don't move don't move okay what is

it

oh yeah there it is

very high energy field emissions

all right standby stand back

wow that's not very neighborly mr layton

oh downright rude i'd say

wait a minute didn't chat say something

like the air smelled funny like after a

thunderstorm oh zone

there must have been 200 volts running

through it those kids must have got a

hell of a shock

well that would explain the boy's

irregular heart rate and the barbed wire

would account for chad's wounds but it

still doesn't account for their

reluctance to cooperate

i talked to the girls the keeler boys

were with and i did their claim

deduction and it turns out they all

indulged in a little homemade jungle

juice

mr keeler's a devout baptist he won't be

too pleased to hear that news that's

what they're trying to hide

so as far as the boys we're concerned

this uh encounter with a

electrified trip wire could qualify as

an alien abduction

but that still doesn't explain the rest

of the sightings movement

connor we've got movement activate

remote scans i have a target lock two

heat sources closing fast at three miles

due north by northwest

peter we have double bogeys headed in

your direction do you have visual

contact at this time

negative lab one nothing in the sky hold

on affirmative

lab one i have a visual on two ufos

coming out of the northwest low on the

horizon

two heat trails and night vision is

detecting burnout oh geez they're really

[ __ ] about 20 feet off the deck

posted fast

whoa those are the brightest any

collision lights i've ever seen peter

tasha can you identify these repeat lab

one you're breaking up

we can't hear you right now there's too

much interference can you identify the

ufo

peter do you copy i need visuals on this

now run sounded picture through the

computer

working on it

i've got a lock we have an id match on

the ufos helicopters bell jet rangers

two of them why didn't we id them before

they appear to be modified for night

flying and stealth runs

we have cold emission coming from the

ifos themselves looks like they're

emitting some kind of liquid

they're crop dusting we gotta get out of

here

well hold on they're breaking pattern

heading out southeast at 150 knots

winkler keep them in your sights where

are you going after

what's the status on field

you've been seeing what i've been seeing

like we found your ufos well what are we

waiting for let's go

wiggler i'm traveling with the sheriff

keep us pointed in the right direction

we have visual contact we're heading to

south affirmative we have both of you on

our screens but

might have a problem go ahead tracking's

starting to break up

i estimate them to be out of range in

less than a minute and we're gonna run

on a road

doyle you okay winkler we've lost them

it's up to you

fire up the imaging laser radar tracking

system i've lost them here they're out

of range

ilr status any second now

confirm i have both aircraft on my scope

heading due southeast about four

kilometers away and slowing down

to southeast four kilometers excellent

work we're on it

what copters who'd have thought i'll

have two squad cars meet us here

i just put out a warrant for the arrest

of kurt layton the man that owns this

land

i believe running illegally modified

aircraft without clearance is a federal

offense so is using banned pesticides

i've analyzed those pesticides turns out

to be toxic being smuggled in from

mexico

pretty deadly stuff well i put stealth

modifications in the helicopters

flew in low and jammed all radio

transmissions to cover the operation

these guys were good

you mean somebody trained them oh yeah

very well but why go to all that trouble

just to dust crops

this acreage was dying his corn was

infested with ear worms

resistant to most pesticides except

toxifene

yeah so much for the ufo convention now

you can tell the boys and the rest of

the town what they really saw

if they want to know what they really

saw

final case log entry kurt layton has

been arrested

and charged with illegal use of aircraft

and deadly chemicals

the farm workers were all treated for

various ailments caused by the

pesticides

everyone affected has made a full

recovery case manager conor doyle out

sometimes the most extraordinary

occurrences have the simplest

explanations
