[ominous music]
[thunder rumbling]
[Brandy sniffling and crying]
[shushing]
[voice] Get her.
[Brandy] He said, "Get her."
[garbled audio]
The only way you're gonna get to her is to get through me.
[sniffling]
[Brandy] I know my limit.
I'm a psychic medium in a goddamn funeral home with negative energy.
And a murderer.
Back off.
I said back off!
I can't put myself in a dangerous situation
and go home to my kids and deal with an aftermath, potentially,
from me being warned multiple times since I've been here.
It launched itself at me. That was real.
My well-being and my body is worth way more than anything else.
I'm done.
I'm tapping out.
I can't ask you to stay and put yourself at risk,
and then something happens to you.
That makes me responsible.
[Brandy] That puts a lot of pressure on me, because...
I don't want you to feel you have to leave because of me.
You can't worry about me.
Brandy is in pure panic mode at this point.
If she taps out, I completely understand, 100%.
Even though that will leave me vulnerable.
If something happens to me, I get taken over, then what?
Who's coming to save me?
[Brandy] I don't even want to go back in the building.
[Jereme] The reality for me is, I can't do it without you either,
because I can't do it by myself.
[Brandy] I really don't know what to do.
I know I can't run from it, because that's what it wants us to do.
And then what?
It's like my brain is telling me, "Brandy, stick it out,"
but my intuition's like, "Don't do it."
[Jereme] I understand the struggle.
I believe whatever is that's attacking me,
whether it's demonic or the father energy,
continues to torment the spirits of this family in the afterlife.
If I leave, they'll never get the closure that they're looking for
and be able to heal.
And that's a lot of pressure.
Well, that's where my head is at right now,
thinking about how I can do this.
Because I want to do this, you know what I mean?
I want to complete this, I want to get the story told.
I want to figure out the mystery, I want to communicate, I want to do this.
[groaning]
What to do?
This is a spiritual connection and attack.
My body can only handle so much. It's making me physically ill.
The energies keep attacking. We know that. What am I supposed to do?
[mumbling] I don't know.
This entity is the strongest upstairs where we sleep.
That's leaving my energy depleted, which is opening me up for attacks.
I think my only option is either, at this point,
to either leave...
or move the beds down here. And I think that, honestly,
I can finish this out if I'm able to have rest
where I feel more comfortable in the building.
So, I think we should just take the chance on just sleeping down here
and see how it goes from there.
Hey, I mean, whatever you think works for you works for me.
You sleep, I sleep.
All right. I'm gonna get my blanket and pillow.
I ain't going up there by myself.
Brandy has decided to stay, which I'm very, very happy that she did,
because we need to solve this case.
But I think Brandy is in danger, of course,
because she's going to continue to be a target.
Right there.
Not to mention, I'm not Superman. I'm a human being.
I am just as vulnerable to this as anyone else is.
[narrator] The investigators have persevered
and made it to the second week of the 28-day cycle.
But the last phase saw the teams pushed to their breaking points,
and Brandy was on the brink of tapping out.
If Ed and Lorraine's theory holds true,
with less than two weeks left in the cycle,
the teams will need to galvanize and push themselves
further outside their comfort zones.
If they can do that, they'll reap the benefits of their tenacity
with new revelations and staggering breakthroughs.
[ominous music]
I chose to do this experiment and live in this place for 28 days because
I have a chance to communicate with spirits like I have never done before.
But we're getting blocked and messed with by the spirits in the house.
We're fighting with each other,
and the investigation's not moving forward.
We need some sort of breakthrough to find out what happened here.
There is such a huge volume of spirits at Captain Grant's
like I've never seen on any investigation.
It makes it hard to psychically communicate with any of them.
But I've had some luck communicating with Adelaide, the wife of Captain Grant.
Adelaide visited me again in a dream.
She pointed to the backyard,
the opposite direction of where she pointed to in my last dream.
I have to imagine that she's sending me another message,
and I have to follow that lead.
All right, let's see what we can find here.
I want to see if I can get Nick and Aaron on board and galvanize the team.
We need to move past the infighting.
So I'm asking Nick to come with me,
because his knowledge of tech could be useful.
We're coming out to take your photograph.
[Sean] We're taking the thermal imaging camera and see what we can pick up on.
The thermal imaging camera is perfect for this investigation,
because it allows us to see in the dark,
and it could pick up hot spots that signify paranormal activity.
[Nick] It's picking up on balls of temperature fluctuations to your right.
[narrator] Thermal imaging cameras have become a useful tool
for investigating the paranormal,
because they can detect infrared energy
and make them into visual images which are not visible to the naked eye,
such as a spirit or entity.
The hell's this?
Why is the ground hot right here?
Why don't you stand right in the middle of it.
I'm getting, like, weird feelings.
[Nick] I've got a lot of tools in my arsenal.
So I'm gonna come back and see what's creating this hot spot
and see if it is truly something paranormal.
Could be nothing. Could be an underground well.
Could be an underground power box. But I'm going to find out.
We'd better turn back up to the house. Aaron's probably wondering what happened.
[dramatic music]
[Amy sighs]
Right now our investigation's at a standstill
because Amy won't do any experiments outside of her comfort zone.
She's the sensitive on our team.
We rely on her to psychically connect with the spirits to get information.
Ray and I are extremely frustrated.
This is tough, man. It's going to be hard to investigate now.
She has to understand that:
you're refusing to do anything to contribute.
Why is she here if we're picking up all of the info from our...?
"What have you contributed so far?"
- "What are you bringing to the table?" - Yeah.
So now if we try to call her out on this, what?
Well, and then it'll look like me and you are ganging up on her,
and that's not what I want.
But at the same time...
We have to find some way to move forward.
And I want all of us to be able to work together with no issues.
Lay it out. Right now.
So, what do you wanna do? Do you wanna confront or...?
We confront her about the situation, and we can tell her how we feel.
[Shane] As far as the team dynamic right now,
Amy is lacking as a teammate,
and we need all three of us firing on all cylinders.
If we're not doing that, the whole operation is going to cave in.
And that is not something I want to do.
I'm not sacrificing time away from my family for this to be for nothing.
All right, so I have a couple of concerns I want to talk to y'all about.
Things that's been bothering me lately.
Um...
And I'm concerned because your energy...
And sometimes you're like, "No, I won't do experiments."
I will not do mirror scrying. That's the only thing I won't do.
I'm not connecting with the dark stuff. That wasn't a team decision.
- Hold on. Whatever you want... - I'm sorry, don't I get a choice in that?
We have to address this now because we're, again...
We're at a critical point where I want the whole team to see the finish line.
A lot of our evidence has come from the spirits of this house
through our experiments and me.
Again, it's not an attack.
My main thing too is we need you,
especially, like, you're able to see things we are not able to see
and communicate with spirits unlike we're able to do it.
Just imagine, if we're a collective team, all high energy,
just imagine what the hell we can do, honestly.
[Amy] Moving forward, I mean, I'm just gonna try to compromise
so that I can fit the experiments to where my boundaries lie.
Cool.
But I don't mess with mirrors and portals.
Um, candle scrying, maybe?
- [Amy] I'll do the candle thing. - [Shane] Awesome.
[Amy] Because I usually do that with, like, a meditation and stuff. So...
Okay.
Candle scrying, it's almost like a meditative state,
and you don't want to, like, stare right at the candle.
You do a soft gaze and look through it. Everything just starts to dissipate away,
and I'm able to ask the spirits that are here in the house
to try to join me so that we can try to communicate together.
So I think we have a plan. Okay?
From now on, we sit here, we communicate with each other,
come up with a game plan together.
- Good? - [Amy] Good talk.
- Awesome. Are you good? - Yeah, I'm good.
[dramatic music]
[Shane] Now that Amy's agreed to candle scry,
we're trying to figure out what this dark energy was in the attic.
Is this a spirit of the killer or something else entirely?
We think the spirits of Cara and Marianne have more to tell us,
and we're hoping Amy can find out what that is.
[narrator] Candle scrying is the act of staring into a flame
in order to connect with spirits.
In the case of Amy, she'll sit several feet from the candle
and gaze into it for an extended period of time.
Then, using her psychic ability,
allow the spirits of Cara and Marianne to show her images in the flame
that will help the team solve the mystery of the Lumber Baron Inn.
- [Shane] So where are you going to sit? - I'm just gonna put it on the hardwood.
- [Shane] Okay. - [Ray] Good to go?
[Shane] Yeah.
You got the recorder going?
- [Amy] I will. - Okay.
All right. I'll be back in about ten minutes.
[Amy clears throat]
[Amy] No guarantees.
[Shane] That's fine. It's trial and error.
[eerie music]
[Amy] Is there anyone here...
in the light, who would like to talk to me?
Are you one of the girls?
Flicker the light.
Starting to kind of feel really uncomfortable.
[whispering] I'm seeing shadows.
Right up there.
Shadow.
Going this way.
Look up.
I saw it go like this.
From my room.
[whispering] I say we let this play out.
Is there a female in here with us?
I can see somebody walking...
from the doorway.
Starting to feel very uneasy.
[whispering] It's quiet. Do you hear her?
Having a hard time breathing again.
[gasps]
Guys!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
[dramatic music]
Ready?
Since we moved our beds downstairs,
I've been able to get some sleep, and I'm starting to feel a bit better.
It's been couple days, but I finally feel ready to continue with the investigation.
Oh, so this is the Tobacco Room, hm?
[narrator] Brandy and Jereme are going to use a spirit box
in concert with Brandy's abilities,
in an attempt to communicate directly with the father in the photo.
They're going to do this in a room at Madison Dry Goods
known as the Tobacco Room.
In our last investigation, I connected with the mother energy,
and I now believe that the father energy not only killed his family,
but he impregnated his oldest daughter.
Tonight, I want to try to directly contact the father energy.
I want to know if there's a connection between his daughter's pregnancy
and why he murdered his family.
Are you ready?
All right, let me turn this radio low.
[Brandy] I need to speak to the father energy.
Are you with us right now?
[garbled audio]
- Hi. - Hi.
[footsteps thudding]
- Hear that? - What is that?
Walking.
Hear it?
I hear it. Brandy. No, no.
[Brandy] I'm not.
Are you walking around us?
Start walking again if you're walking.
[footsteps thud]
Who is that?
I need to know.
Answer me, please.
[garbled audio]
[Jereme] Sounds like "Charlie."
[Brandy] Did you say your name was Charlie?
[voice] Charlie.
[gasps] Holy shit.
[loud thud]
Charlie.
Charlie, listen to me.
Did you just make a noise upstairs?
Charlie?
[Brandy] What would cause you to do something so horrible to your family?
Man, I got a freaking headache. Oh, my God.
[Brandy] Charlie, I need you to stand back.
[garbled voice]
Said, "Out."
You want us to get out?
We're dealing with an entity that calls itself Charlie.
Maybe it's the dad, maybe it's not. However, it's powerful.
[narrator] Perhaps Jereme and Brandy were pulled to the Tobacco Room
because, what they don't know,
is that the father in the photo was a tobacco farmer.
And his name was Charlie Lawson.
[Jereme] What I want to do next is provoke this entity
and see if I can get it to reveal itself and see exactly what we're dealing with.
The faster we get answers, the faster we can go and leave you guys alone.
[glass shatters faintly]
What the...?
[Jereme] Calm down.
That son of a bitch don't scare me.
[Brandy] Oh, it scared the shit out of me. I'm good with that.
[ominous music]
[gasps]
Oh, no, no, no, no. Guys!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can't move my legs.
- Are you okay? - [Amy] I can't move.
Something just ******* touch...
Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
[Shane] Something touched you where?
[Amy] It was literally right here.
Oh, my God.
I'm thinking that this dark presence is the spirit of Cara and Marianne's killer.
I'm just a little freaked out.
[exhales] Whoa.
- Careful. - Okay, I'm gonna turn the lights on.
[Amy] I think the girls were gonna show me something about the murders,
or they were gonna give me some type of information about the killer.
And all of a sudden, I just felt something come at me and just hit me in the side.
He was very angry, he was very violent, and he hated women.
The killer is physically capable of manifesting enough
that it can physically touch you.
That's scary.
I hate being touched.
- Was it like, I'm getting your attention...? - It could've been.
I just freaked the fuck out because I was like, "Nope. Nope. Nope."
This entity is powerful.
and it physically attacked her before she could figure out what it was hiding.
It's made me realize I need to step up.
It isn't fair to put it all on Amy.
I think I'm finally ready to tap into my own psychic ability
and try to move this investigation forward.
In the case of Cara and Marianne's killer, this is an unsolved crime,
and, as a ghost, he probably wants to keep it that way.
It'll be interesting to see if Shane can amplify his newfound psychic abilities,
and if ultimately he will be the key that unlocks the secrets of this location.
[dramatic music]
Sean and I found a hot spot out back with a thermal imaging camera,
and he believes that it's something paranormal.
So I'm coming back with my equipment to take another look.
I'm gonna start with my metal detector
to rule out it being some foreign object giving off heat.
[detector warbling]
Well, this is it.
Metal detector's just screaming over this spot.
Need to dig this up.
[rapid beeping]
I'm almost right on top of it, I better dig a little more.
Whatever this thing is, being that deep, it is really old,
or somebody buried it that deep for a reason.
Either way, something's there.
[beeps and vibrates]
Well, we're right on top of it.
Whoa. Holy shit.
That's like a copper pentagram there.
Whoa. This is, uh...
this is kind of spooky.
To find a pentagram.
You know, a pentagram's always meant the devil and dark stuff and all that.
It makes you wonder if it's associated
with whatever's attracted so many spirits to the land.
Sean's gonna freak out when he sees this.
Hey, guys, can you come out to the fire pit?
Bring the camera.
Yeah, dude. We're on our way.
I can't explain why the thermal imaging camera picked up a hot spot there.
There's no scientific reason for it.
Look at this.
Oh, that's cool.
[Sean] I wonder what this means.
The pentagram was originally the symbol for the sacred female,
but then, through Christianity, it became associated with the devil, or evil.
It's actually more commonly believed to be used as a symbol
to protect against evil.
I'm not sure if it was used for good or evil,
but I know it's got a lot of energy attached to it.
I was out on that spot that we found with the thermal imaging.
Come inside and clean it up and see what the hell we can find.
- [Aaron] Good find. - [Nick] Thank you.
[Sean] We need to find if this pentagram has a connection
to why these spirits are trapped here.
[dramatic music]
[Brandy] My body's already telling me not to go up here.
[Jereme] I don't think Brandy's approach is working.
I mean, calmly asking Charlie questions is not going to get us anywhere.
So tonight, I want to see if we can provoke this entity
that calls itself Charlie
and find if he's the father from the photo who we believed killed his family,
or if it's something demonic.
[Brandy clears throat]
- All right. - Ready?
You ready?
Turn the box on.
The thought of connecting with this entity called Charlie is really terrifying.
Once again, I don't think that Jereme provoking Charlie is a good idea.
I think he's playing with fire.
I've come here to address the spirit of Charlie.
I want to know what kind of sick man would kill his entire family.
Including his kids.
Wait. Shh.
You killed your entire family.
In cold blood.
And if anyone deserved to die that day, it was you, Charlie.
Why did you do it, Charlie?
[Jereme] You know what, Charlie?
You deserve to rot in hell for what you've done.
Brandy, get out of here. Go. Please. Get out of here.
I felt it and I heard it.
[Jereme] Get off of me!
[Brandy] That is not Charlie. That is a demon.
In the name of God, by the cross, and the resurrection of Jesus,
I say get back!
Get back!
[groans]
- Jereme, come down here. - What? Brandy, get down there!
[Brandy] Shit ain't ******* worth it to me.
[Jereme] Get off of me!
We're deep into the 28-day cycle, in particular with Brandy and Jereme.
How concerned should we be for what's next for them?
- Because we still have more time to go. - Well, it's ramping up, as you noticed.
So, what do we have to look forward to? I believe more intensity, more danger.
According to Ed and Lorraine's case files, this is when the veil is at its thinnest.
As we've seen at all three locations, secrets are being revealed as a result.
But Ed and Lorraine also warned that during this phase of the cycle,
the investigators are at the greatest risk for possession.
[eerie music]
The girls have something to tell us. Possibly a secret.
We just had Amy try candle scrying, and that didn't get us anywhere.
And we still need to figure out what the killer is hiding.
And the issue that I see us running into is you're getting bits of information,
you're getting bits of information,
but you're only getting to a certain point.
I need to step up and do something outside of my comfort zone
to try to figure out what the killer is hiding
and what the girls want us to know.
We have to do something drastic. So here's what we're gonna do.
We have a sensory deprivation tank that we're going to put together,
and I'm going to go in.
This is the most extreme deprivation that I've ever seen done in the field.
It's a deep form of meditation.
But, you know, also, it can be used
to dive deeper into the spiritual world.
It's almost like you're in a dreamlike state.
We still have all this negative energy in this house,
so regardless of what our intention is going into this tank,
all ******* bets are off whenever that door's shut and you're floating.
It's something that I'm nervous doing, I'm apprehensive about,
but I know that we've gotta do it.
Let's go.
A sensory deprivation tank is a tank that is filled up
with about ten inches of water,
800 pounds of salt to allow you to float.
It blocks out all light, all sound.
I'm hoping the sensory deprivation tank allows me to tap into my psychic ability,
which is something I've been afraid to do.
[Amy] What is the salt supposed to do again?
Supposed to make you float. Make you buoyant.
[crickets chirping]
[Ray] Good luck, bud.
[Sean] Oh, God.
[inhales deeply]
Oh, my gosh.
Staircase. I see the staircase.
The door.
Marianne opens the door.
He makes her get on her knees.
Oh, my God.
She's...
She's saying, "Please."
"I need to get home to my baby."
And he shoots her.
Oh, my God, there's... There's many more.
[ominous music]
