1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,636
Tonight on "the proof is out there."

2
00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:06,580
On this special episode,
we're investigating evil.

3
00:00:07,580 --> 00:00:10,476
Did a malevolent spirit
drive this burning bus?

4
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:14,266
This video actually sent
shivers down my spine.

5
00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:16,976
Is this a recording of a
real demonic possession?

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,266
In the United States,

7
00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:20,846
exorcisms happen
almost every single day.

8
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:22,056
Did a trail camera

9
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:24,346
capture a satanic ritual in the woods?

10
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:28,766
There are satanic cults
that engage in sacrifice

11
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:31,176
in order to get power.

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,306
And did scientists

13
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:34,726
record horrific howls of the damned?

14
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:38,540
Are these sounds the
anguished cries of those in hell?

15
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:46,016
Around the globe are
videos... What are those things?

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,516
It's moving.

17
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:51,500
Photos and sounds that defy explanation.

18
00:00:56,370 --> 00:00:58,226
We don't know where they come from,

19
00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:59,806
who made them, or how they operate.

20
00:00:59,830 --> 00:01:00,976
What are they?

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,976
Some sort of bizarre mutation.

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,636
What's exciting is nobody really knows.

23
00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:08,080
Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.

24
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:11,056
I'm Tony Harris

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,386
and as a journalist
for more than 30 years,

26
00:01:13,410 --> 00:01:16,176
I've followed the facts
where they take me.

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,516
Now, I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation

28
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:21,290
to the world's strangest
sounds and images.

29
00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:25,176
We'll analyze each one with top experts.

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,306
It's a credible case,
it's a credible video.

31
00:01:28,330 --> 00:01:31,056
And pass a verdict on what it is.

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,096
This video was clearly faked.

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,450
The proof starts now.

34
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:43,846
Good evening, everyone,

35
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:47,596
and welcome to "the proof
is out there: The Satan files."

36
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:50,726
Tonight, we are not giving
sympathy to the devil,

37
00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:54,346
but we are giving him an
hour's worth of attention.

38
00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:56,636
That's because while
the concept of Satan

39
00:01:56,660 --> 00:02:00,426
dates back to at least 600 bc,
there are many people today

40
00:02:00,450 --> 00:02:03,386
who say there's proof he's real.

41
00:02:03,410 --> 00:02:05,386
We're not speaking metaphorically here,

42
00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:09,266
we are talking about a powerful,
malevolent, supernatural entity

43
00:02:09,290 --> 00:02:12,886
real enough not only to
bring evil into this world,

44
00:02:12,910 --> 00:02:15,136
but to physically possess bodies,

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,266
minds, and souls of innocent people

46
00:02:17,290 --> 00:02:20,846
and in some cases,
even inanimate objects.

47
00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:22,636
Think it's all just superstition?

48
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:25,306
Well, tonight, you'll see several videos

49
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:28,766
and hear audio recordings
that might challenge your view.

50
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:32,476
But first, let's give the devil his due.

51
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,056
Dante described him as
a monstrous winged beast.

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,926
Milton described him as
a pro me the an-like hero.

53
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:42,176
As long as humans have
been talking about good and evil,

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,870
they've been talking about the devil.

55
00:02:45,370 --> 00:02:48,386
This stuff is accepted in
most cultures in the world

56
00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:49,870
and throughout history.

57
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:54,056
Lucifer, beelzebub, Satan,
whatever you call him,

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,226
the concept of the devil
can be found mentioned

59
00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:58,226
across a multitude of religions

60
00:02:58,250 --> 00:03:01,596
including judaic, islamic
and Christian faiths.

61
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:03,726
Although many believe
he appears in the Bible

62
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:06,386
as the serpent in the garden of Eden,

63
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:09,426
a more humanoid form first
appeared in the book of job

64
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:13,056
as a servant angel named ha-Satan.

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,426
And the devil we know
and recognize today

66
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:17,346
would materialize much later

67
00:03:17,370 --> 00:03:20,056
within the scripture
of the new testament.

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,726
Biblically speaking, when we
talk about demons or devils,

69
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:26,056
we're actually talking about fallen angels,

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,636
these preternatural realities

71
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:30,120
that have turned their
back on god forever.

72
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,306
To this day, Satan and
his menagerie of demons

73
00:03:34,330 --> 00:03:36,426
remains front and center in our films,

74
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:38,636
books, podcasts, and TV shows,

75
00:03:38,660 --> 00:03:41,766
and some would argue that
their presence in the real world

76
00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:43,596
has been rising as well.

77
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:46,596
In fact, a recent survey
by the pew research center

78
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:49,806
found that more than 62% of Americans

79
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:54,476
believe in some version of
hell, up from 58% in 2014.

80
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,176
So it's no wonder that
demonic encounters

81
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,846
are being reported with great frequency.

82
00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:03,346
Take for example this
2020 video from Beirut

83
00:04:03,370 --> 00:04:06,080
that shows a horrific
warehouse explosion.

84
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:13,016
Many believed this crimson
cloud left in the aftermath

85
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,830
actually revealed the devil himself.

86
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,676
I would say that evil, broadly speaking,

87
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:21,846
yes, it does exist.

88
00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:23,556
Now, as far as the figurehead

89
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:26,516
that we know as Satan or the devil,

90
00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:28,290
that's very difficult to say.

91
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:33,846
With a recent influx of devil
related conspiracy theories,

92
00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:36,516
it's not surprising that
reports of demonic activity

93
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:38,846
appear to be on an upswing,

94
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:43,870
and with it, a worldwide
increase in the art of exorcism.

95
00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:48,346
We might assume that
exorcisms are extremely rare.

96
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:50,426
The holy spirit drives you out.

97
00:04:50,450 --> 00:04:51,726
But there are reports

98
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:55,176
that exorcisms happen
almost every single day.

99
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,226
In Italy, there are now 500,000 requests

100
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:00,516
for exorcisms every year.

101
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:02,636
Renowned psychiatrist
Dr. Richard Gallagher

102
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:04,766
has been witness to dozens of exorcisms

103
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:06,676
and has worked as a psychiatric advisor

104
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:08,926
to faith leaders around the world.

105
00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:12,016
When exorcists need
help, he's the one they call.

106
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,176
I'm extremely committed
to the scientific method.

107
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,726
My essential task is to make sure

108
00:05:18,750 --> 00:05:22,766
there's no medical or
psychiatric explanation.

109
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:25,516
So I'm ruling out the kind of conditions

110
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:29,870
that often get confused
for demonic conditions.

111
00:05:31,250 --> 00:05:33,596
People who have severe
personality disorders,

112
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:38,410
people who are very hysterical
or histrionic or suggestible,

113
00:05:39,370 --> 00:05:41,556
multiple personality disorder.

114
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:43,886
These are the most common conditions.

115
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:46,306
Gallagher eventually
became a scientific advisor

116
00:05:46,330 --> 00:05:49,346
for the international
association of exorcists,

117
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:51,950
an organization recognized
by the pope himself.

118
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:56,846
And it's not just the catholic
church taking up the charge.

119
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:59,766
New age exorcists like Jeffrey seelman

120
00:05:59,790 --> 00:06:02,226
are working with an
increasing number of businesses

121
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:05,226
and residences, all
claiming to be disturbed

122
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,516
by something sinister from beyond.

123
00:06:07,540 --> 00:06:11,846
Unfortunately, in my line
of work, I have to tell people

124
00:06:11,870 --> 00:06:14,386
that the reason that their
house is under attack,

125
00:06:14,410 --> 00:06:17,226
or their business, or their daughter,

126
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:19,200
or their child in the cradle,

127
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,870
is simply because the spirit
wants to see how far it can go.

128
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:27,870
It wants to destroy all
things that are good.

129
00:06:29,250 --> 00:06:30,976
But the question still remains.

130
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,226
Can we confirm that any
of this demonic activity

131
00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:38,700
is actually real and proof of
some nefarious underworld?

132
00:06:39,950 --> 00:06:42,846
We begin with the idea that evil forces

133
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:46,636
cannot only possess
people but objects as well.

134
00:06:46,660 --> 00:06:48,926
Stephen King's famous
novel, "Christine,"

135
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:52,726
was about the possession
of a 1958 Plymouth fury,

136
00:06:52,750 --> 00:06:56,790
and this video is about the
alleged possession of a bus.

137
00:06:58,450 --> 00:07:02,176
June 2022, kapiti coast, New Zealand.

138
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,266
Craig meek and his daughter, Aimee,

139
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:06,976
are visiting family in raumati beach

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,476
when they smell gas.

141
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:10,056
They wander outside

142
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,766
right as the lights on their
neighbor's vacant bus turn on.

143
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:16,450
Meek pulls out his
camera and records this.

144
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:20,886
A bus is engulfed by a
mysterious fire with a ferocity

145
00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:23,806
that is sure to spread to
the neighboring homes.

146
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:28,016
Inexplicably it turns on
and lurches across the road,

147
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,516
but there's no one inside.

148
00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:31,766
Onlookers scatter in bewilderment

149
00:07:31,790 --> 00:07:34,596
as the fiery phantom
vehicle is finally stopped

150
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:36,160
by a cluster of trees.

151
00:07:37,330 --> 00:07:41,516
You've got a bus that has
just started moving on its own,

152
00:07:41,540 --> 00:07:45,346
engulfed in flames,
the lights were flashing,

153
00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:47,636
the horn beeping.

154
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:49,976
The question is,
what's driving this thing?

155
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,096
There's some, what
appears to be invisible force

156
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,700
that's navigating this.

157
00:07:55,660 --> 00:07:57,516
Brooks says the idea of spirits

158
00:07:57,540 --> 00:08:00,676
possessing inanimate
objects is nothing new.

159
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:03,556
Possession, from a
traditional understanding,

160
00:08:03,580 --> 00:08:06,346
has to do with this idea

161
00:08:06,370 --> 00:08:08,176
that there's some kind of intelligence

162
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,676
that wants to control
something outside of itself,

163
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:15,726
in some cases, possessing
inanimate objects.

164
00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:19,636
That inanimate object,
like a bus or even a doll,

165
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:22,846
can become animated
and do certain things

166
00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:25,516
that would frighten
the heck out of people.

167
00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:27,266
This is Robert the doll,

168
00:08:27,290 --> 00:08:29,386
which sits in the east martello museum

169
00:08:29,410 --> 00:08:30,976
in key west, Florida.

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,346
Robert was given to a boy
named Robert Eugene Otto,

171
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:37,846
who owned the doll until he died in 1974.

172
00:08:37,870 --> 00:08:40,886
Over the years, the doll
has allegedly moved its head,

173
00:08:40,910 --> 00:08:44,226
changed its facial
expressions, and even giggled.

174
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:45,516
According to legend,

175
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:47,676
the doll had been cursed
in a voodoo ceremony

176
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:50,676
as revenge for something
that family had done.

177
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:52,016
If any of that's true,

178
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,846
could the bus be under a similar spell,

179
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:56,846
the one that's more benevolent?

180
00:08:56,870 --> 00:09:01,176
This is a bus that was
owned by a man and his wife

181
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,250
and the husband said
that the wife loved this bus.

182
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,426
Now, as if this weren't spooky enough,

183
00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:12,346
it turns out the wife passed away

184
00:09:12,370 --> 00:09:16,386
while sitting inside this exact same bus.

185
00:09:16,410 --> 00:09:19,016
So when we see the
bus drive across the street

186
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,846
to a safer place where it
won't catch the house on fire,

187
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:25,846
we have to ask, is
this the spirit of the wife

188
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:28,870
trying to protect her
husband and their home?

189
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,660
It's a theory the widowed
bus owner believes.

190
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,516
The fact that the headlights came on

191
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:43,160
and the horn continues to beep.

192
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,096
The wife or some force

193
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,160
is trying to get people out of the way.

194
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,136
Back in 2003, a story surfaced
about a small wine cabinet

195
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,596
that many believed was
haunted by a dybbuk,

196
00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:02,476
a demonic spirit from Jewish folklore.

197
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,556
This dybbuk box
supposedly exchanged hands

198
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:06,846
since the holocaust,

199
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:10,056
bringing illness and bad
luck to all of its owners,

200
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,176
until its last owner
took a rabbi's suggestion

201
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,306
and locked it inside a
container lined with gold

202
00:10:17,330 --> 00:10:21,676
where the spirit is said to
be imprisoned until this day.

203
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:25,176
Could this bus be
hosting a similar entity?

204
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,000
Let's go to the experts.

205
00:10:32,330 --> 00:10:34,636
A positive spirit

206
00:10:34,660 --> 00:10:39,976
could very well have
operated that vehicle

207
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,926
and driven it to safety across the street.

208
00:10:42,950 --> 00:10:46,886
There are so many more
positive spirits out there

209
00:10:46,910 --> 00:10:48,346
than negative spirits.

210
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:50,636
It's just that negative
spirits get all the credit.

211
00:10:50,660 --> 00:10:53,120
Sometimes miracles do happen.

212
00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:57,676
But theoretical physics
professor michio kaku

213
00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:59,726
thinks the explanation behind this video

214
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:01,516
is far less supernatural.

215
00:11:01,540 --> 00:11:02,766
We've all seen the movies

216
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:04,636
where the bad guy gets into a car,

217
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:07,926
steals the car by hot wiring the car.

218
00:11:07,950 --> 00:11:09,676
Underneath the steering wheel,

219
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,516
there are two wires, normally uncrossed,

220
00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:14,676
but you can short circuit the circuitry

221
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,306
and the car starts up all by itself.

222
00:11:17,330 --> 00:11:18,476
Same thing here.

223
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,346
The fire melted the insulation

224
00:11:21,370 --> 00:11:23,846
so that two wires crossed

225
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:26,636
and the engine started all by itself.

226
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:29,056
But the one thing that's not so explicable

227
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,846
is how this vehicle
moves the way it does.

228
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:34,016
According to kaku, that would require

229
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,386
an exceptional series of coincidences.

230
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:38,806
First of all, you have
electricity in the car.

231
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:42,426
Next you have gasoline, and
then you have all the gears

232
00:11:42,450 --> 00:11:44,226
and the mechanical mechanisms.

233
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:47,976
Here's a situation
where all three must fail

234
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,476
and the road may not be perfectly flat,

235
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,676
which could cause the tires to swerve.

236
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:55,676
Maybe you can explain
away a lot of these incidents,

237
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:58,266
but I can see why
people believe in ghosts,

238
00:11:58,290 --> 00:12:01,176
'cause once in a while,
something bizarre happens,

239
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,200
something very unusual.

240
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,057
Our verdict?

241
00:12:10,081 --> 00:12:12,846
We're going with unexplained.

242
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:16,176
Unfortunately, we can't
quite determine how

243
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,346
or why the bus moved the way it did.

244
00:12:19,370 --> 00:12:23,176
In the meantime, be wary
around any odd behaving objects.

245
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,266
You never know what
type of unknown force

246
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:27,790
may be operating within.

247
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:34,016
This next story is
perhaps the most famous

248
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,426
real-life example of demonic possession,

249
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:38,700
so viewer discretion is advised.

250
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:43,500
September 1975,
klingenberg, west Germany.

251
00:12:44,450 --> 00:12:47,516
After years of their daughter's
continually declining health

252
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:49,676
and increasingly strange behavior,

253
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,806
the parents of 23-year-old
anneliese Michel

254
00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:55,056
turned to the catholic church for help.

255
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,346
Recording devices capture
these conversations in German

256
00:12:58,370 --> 00:13:02,790
over the course of a
harrowing 67 exorcism attempts.

00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:15,806
If you can believe it, that's anneliese

259
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:18,870
speaking in a voice
allegedly not her own.

260
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:32,226
How did this all begin?

261
00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:33,676
At the age of 16,

262
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:36,726
anneliese Michel had
some severe experiences

263
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,136
such as blackouts

264
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,096
and feeling a heavy weight
pressing her to her bed.

265
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,846
She was diagnosed with epilepsy,

266
00:13:43,870 --> 00:13:46,016
but the medication didn't seem to help.

267
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,160
And by the age of 20,
she began to hear voices

268
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:52,266
and had a great distaste

269
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:54,976
for being in the presence
of religious objects,

270
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,846
crucifixes or relics.

271
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:58,426
She began to injure herself.

272
00:13:58,450 --> 00:14:00,306
She bit the head off of a bird.

273
00:14:00,330 --> 00:14:02,516
She drank her own urine from the floor.

274
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:04,806
She was barking like a dog.

275
00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:07,226
It was at this point that
everyone around her

276
00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:10,016
thought that she was truly possessed.

277
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,846
The increasingly desperate family

278
00:14:11,870 --> 00:14:14,306
turned to their local priests for help.

279
00:14:14,330 --> 00:14:18,426
In 1975, exorcisms
began on anneliese Michel

280
00:14:18,450 --> 00:14:22,886
on a biweekly basis, each
lasting as long as four hours.

281
00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:25,556
Anneliese began to claim
that she was possessed

282
00:14:25,580 --> 00:14:28,160
by people like Cain and Hitler.

283
00:14:31,950 --> 00:14:34,386
This story does not end well.

284
00:14:34,410 --> 00:14:35,976
On July 1st, 1976,

285
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,096
after 10 months of
continuous exorcisms,

286
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,226
anneliese died in her home.

287
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:43,426
The priests and her parents claim

288
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:45,226
that just before she passed,

289
00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:47,726
she was freed from her possession

290
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:50,016
and the exorcism was a success.

291
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,370
Let's see what our experts think.

292
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,426
First, forensic audio analyst Rob maher

293
00:14:58,450 --> 00:15:01,750
takes a listen to those
supposedly inhuman noises.

294
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,176
If we compare the girl's
speech in the recording

295
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,540
to what a voice actor is able to produce...

296
00:15:21,580 --> 00:15:25,136
That voice actor is able to
produce a very similar quality

297
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,016
to what we hear from this girl.

298
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,346
Since the growls could
be easily produced

299
00:15:30,370 --> 00:15:33,346
by a human play acting,
many are skeptical

300
00:15:33,370 --> 00:15:36,016
that this was a legitimate
demonic possession.

301
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,886
The conversations were immature.

302
00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:40,346
There was way too much talk

303
00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:42,846
about things that a demonic spirit

304
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:44,476
would have no interest in.

305
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,056
According to seelman,
the demon is more likely

306
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,886
to attack the person
performing the exorcism,

307
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:51,516
not the religious institution.

308
00:15:51,540 --> 00:15:52,846
The demonic spirit

309
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:57,676
is going to try to make
the priest feel weak,

310
00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:59,976
insult their personal lives.

311
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,596
Everything that I heard

312
00:16:01,620 --> 00:16:06,250
was really anger at
the catholic church itself.

313
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,016
And it was well known
that the people of this town

314
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,846
were very conservative and religious.

315
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:18,976
No dating, no fun, no going out at night.

316
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,806
And so it would not be surprising

317
00:16:20,830 --> 00:16:23,596
that anneliese Michel
was pretty unhappy

318
00:16:23,620 --> 00:16:25,136
with what was going on.

319
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,226
Dr. Hope agrees, this culture

320
00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:29,766
combined with anneliese's
previous diagnosis

321
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:31,926
seemed to create a perfect storm.

322
00:16:31,950 --> 00:16:35,096
She had a diagnosis of
temporal lobe epilepsy,

323
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,426
which can lead to psychotic symptoms

324
00:16:38,450 --> 00:16:42,136
such as delusions and hallucinations.

325
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,176
Having very religious beliefs,

326
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,096
those stories and themes of the devil

327
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,976
became very real to her

328
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,846
and must have been absolutely terrifying.

329
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:53,346
But if this was epilepsy,

330
00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:56,266
why wasn't anneliese
responding to standard treatment?

331
00:16:56,290 --> 00:16:59,346
Even today, with these type of illnesses,

332
00:16:59,370 --> 00:17:02,426
we aren't always able to
get people symptom free.

333
00:17:02,450 --> 00:17:05,596
It doesn't mean that the
diagnosis wasn't correct

334
00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:09,476
or the other diagnosis
such as demonic possession

335
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:10,886
are an explanation.

336
00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:12,676
So how did this disturbing scenario

337
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:14,556
ultimately reach its end?

338
00:17:14,580 --> 00:17:15,676
In the last few weeks,

339
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,176
she was not able to eat
and drink very much at all.

340
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,346
It was noted she had bilateral
fractures, so broken knees,

341
00:17:23,370 --> 00:17:26,136
due to the fact that she
was praying so much.

342
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,886
She died at the young age of 23

343
00:17:28,910 --> 00:17:31,426
and weighed only 68 pounds.

344
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:35,136
The actual cause of death was
malnutrition and dehydration.

345
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,056
Her parents and the
priests were charged

346
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,056
and convicted of negligent homicide,

347
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,476
and the state prosecutor sadly said

348
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,266
that even up to a week before her death,

349
00:17:45,290 --> 00:17:46,846
if she'd have got treatment,

350
00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:49,120
then her life could have been saved.

351
00:17:52,620 --> 00:17:55,226
Our verdict? Mental illness.

352
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:58,176
We agree with that historic conclusion,

353
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,176
in part because of the analysis

354
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,266
of the recordings themselves.

355
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:06,120
Hopefully anneliese is
finally resting in peace.

356
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,676
These next images raise
a disturbing question.

357
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:16,096
Are people practicing
satanic rituals in the woods?

358
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,726
The incident involves a naked woman,

359
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:22,806
a mutilated deer, and...
Well, just look for yourself,

360
00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:24,040
if you dare.

361
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,926
February 21st, 2021, Powell river

362
00:18:27,950 --> 00:18:30,016
in British Columbia, Canada.

363
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,676
Local resident corinea
woloschuk's grandfather

364
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:34,516
comes across a deer carcass

365
00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:37,136
while walking just outside his property.

366
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,226
He had a little chat with the neighbor

367
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:42,846
and he agreed to let
him put up a trail cam

368
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:45,476
just to see what maybe killed it.

369
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:47,676
At around five o'clock,

370
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:51,096
the motion sensor camera
snaps away at a bobcat,

371
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:54,056
but then, an hour later after it gets dark

372
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,846
and the camera switches to night vision,

373
00:18:55,870 --> 00:18:57,830
it captures a macabre scene.

374
00:18:58,790 --> 00:19:01,846
A sequence of photos
depicts a nearly naked woman

375
00:19:01,870 --> 00:19:03,476
with long dark hair.

376
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,426
She crouches down, holding
the deer's leg near her mouth

377
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:10,016
as a second long-haired person joins her

378
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,726
before both mysteriously disappear.

379
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:14,676
I was pretty creeped out.

380
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:18,226
My thoughts were either
someone's on drugs

381
00:19:18,250 --> 00:19:21,476
or they've got a really weird kink.

382
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:24,176
Corinea eventually
decides to put the pictures

383
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,346
online to see if she
can get some answers.

384
00:19:26,370 --> 00:19:29,556
I originally posted it on
a Facebook group I'm on,

385
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:31,846
like, "what do you think of this?"

386
00:19:31,870 --> 00:19:34,806
And that's where all the,
like, "witches and duh,"

387
00:19:34,830 --> 00:19:36,306
all these things came out.

388
00:19:36,330 --> 00:19:38,176
After many likes and shares,

389
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,516
these Fawn feasters make
international headlines.

390
00:19:41,540 --> 00:19:44,176
Author Alexis Brooks
says that's for good reason.

391
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,806
Clearly, this was a very strange act.

392
00:19:46,830 --> 00:19:50,176
It almost looks like they are bending over

393
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,426
in a sign of devotion.

394
00:19:52,450 --> 00:19:54,386
I think we're looking at some sort

395
00:19:54,410 --> 00:19:57,346
of a really, really dark ritual.

396
00:19:57,370 --> 00:20:00,016
So is it possible we're
witnessing the aftermath

397
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,346
of some witches satanic supper?

398
00:20:02,370 --> 00:20:04,926
There are certain satanic cults

399
00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:07,476
that engage in sacrifice

400
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:12,346
to get power from the soul of the animal

401
00:20:12,370 --> 00:20:15,886
and bring that power into the individual

402
00:20:15,910 --> 00:20:18,516
that is doing the sacrifice

403
00:20:18,540 --> 00:20:21,926
or a coven of satanic worshipers.

404
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:24,596
In fact, Brooks says
there's a recent alleged case

405
00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:27,386
of satanic animal sacrifice from 2021,

406
00:20:27,410 --> 00:20:30,226
which we'll blur because it's disturbing.

407
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:31,846
Several dead goats were discovered,

408
00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:35,676
found dumped in a
northeast El Paso desert.

409
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,476
Texas parks & wildlife
officials say some of these goats

410
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:42,386
were actually missing
bodily fluids like blood,

411
00:20:42,410 --> 00:20:47,450
so they directly correlated
it to a potential satanic act.

412
00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:53,426
Sacrificing animals for occult-like rituals

413
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:56,556
sounds pretty gruesome, but get this,

414
00:20:56,580 --> 00:20:58,676
the United States has legislation

415
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:02,266
protecting ritual slaughter
for some religions.

416
00:21:02,290 --> 00:21:05,016
So is there any meat on the bone

417
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,386
in this potentially fiendish feast?

418
00:21:07,410 --> 00:21:09,370
Let's ask the experts.

419
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:15,806
Anthropologist Kathy strain
says that though people

420
00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:18,676
often associate witchcraft with satanism,

421
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:20,346
this connection is mostly a myth,

422
00:21:20,370 --> 00:21:21,976
especially in modern times.

423
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,346
Witchcraft in general

424
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:25,846
is still plenty alive in Canada and america

425
00:21:25,870 --> 00:21:27,226
and it's really just as tame

426
00:21:27,250 --> 00:21:29,676
as maybe palm or tarot readings.

427
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:33,266
They perform seances, cast spells,

428
00:21:33,290 --> 00:21:35,176
conjure the dead, that type of thing.

429
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,266
It's more like wicca,

430
00:21:37,290 --> 00:21:41,370
where you worship nature
as a whole versus Satan.

431
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:44,266
Yet that doesn't make
what these people are doing

432
00:21:44,290 --> 00:21:45,766
any less dangerous.

433
00:21:45,790 --> 00:21:48,346
Emergency medicine
physician Dr. Ed hope

434
00:21:48,370 --> 00:21:50,886
shares some raw
truths about animal flesh.

435
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:53,556
Eating raw meat, you are at serious risk

436
00:21:53,580 --> 00:21:56,516
of getting a zoonotic infection,

437
00:21:56,540 --> 00:21:59,726
that is one passed
from animal to humans.

438
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:02,306
In fact, dining on a decaying carcass

439
00:22:02,330 --> 00:22:03,846
can be downright deadly.

440
00:22:03,870 --> 00:22:06,386
The carcass is gonna
have lots of bacteria

441
00:22:06,410 --> 00:22:08,676
such as e. Coli or salmonella,

442
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:12,846
but also, there are some that
are specific to dead animals.

443
00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:15,426
One of these diseases
is called tularemia,

444
00:22:15,450 --> 00:22:17,516
also known as rabbit fever,

445
00:22:17,540 --> 00:22:21,676
and this is an extremely deadly bacteria.

446
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:23,386
Yet, is this mysterious figure

447
00:22:23,410 --> 00:22:25,846
actually even consuming the carcass?

448
00:22:25,870 --> 00:22:28,976
I mean, we can't say for
sure if she's trying to eat it.

449
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,556
She's certainly holding
it up close to her mouth,

450
00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:33,226
but she could just be looking at it.

451
00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:34,886
There's no conclusive evidence

452
00:22:34,910 --> 00:22:38,766
to say she is actually
eating it from what I see here.

453
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:41,726
But even if this woman is
not eating the dead deer,

454
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:44,176
her actions still seem to defy logic.

455
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,016
So how do we slice this one up?

456
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,676
To me, what we're seeing
here is obviously a hoax.

457
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:51,176
These two people probably
thought it would be funny

458
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,846
to dress up in long wigs,
take off some of their clothing

459
00:22:55,870 --> 00:22:58,516
and get their pictures
taken on the camera.

460
00:22:58,540 --> 00:23:02,226
But I don't think these
people had any ill intention

461
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:03,886
to be called a witch or anything like that.

462
00:23:03,910 --> 00:23:06,386
They just thought it would be funny.

463
00:23:06,410 --> 00:23:08,176
Corinea herself agrees.

464
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,766
There's a trailer park down the road,

465
00:23:09,790 --> 00:23:12,450
a few questionable characters live there.

466
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:15,346
I'd like to think it was a prank.

467
00:23:15,370 --> 00:23:17,870
That's what makes me
sleep at night, thinking that.

468
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,346
Our verdict?

469
00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:26,596
Though these pictures are pretty creepy,

470
00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:29,346
this incident is likely a hoax.

471
00:23:29,370 --> 00:23:31,386
Trail cameras have a tendency to attract

472
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:34,620
all sorts of tricksters
and attention seekers.

473
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:40,676
Does hell exist?

474
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:42,846
Today, most people think
of it as a spiritual place,

475
00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:45,846
but historically, it was
thought to be a physical place

476
00:23:45,870 --> 00:23:48,676
deep underground, and
when one research team

477
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:51,806
decided to dig as deep
as humanly possible,

478
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:55,790
they may have recorded
something truly unholy.

479
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,910
It's 1989 in murmansk, Russia.

480
00:24:01,250 --> 00:24:02,846
A Russian government project,

481
00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:06,766
named the kola super deep
borehole, is in the process

482
00:24:06,790 --> 00:24:09,726
of trying to drill the
deepest hole in the world

483
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:12,096
as part of a drilling race with the us

484
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:15,540
to uncover scientific mysteries
close to the earth's core.

485
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,266
But when these
scientists reach 7.6 miles

486
00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:21,976
into the earth's crust,

487
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,346
their equipment begins
to suffer odd malfunctions.

488
00:24:25,370 --> 00:24:26,516
According to the story,

489
00:24:26,540 --> 00:24:28,306
several heat resistant microphones

490
00:24:28,330 --> 00:24:30,096
were lowered into the hole

491
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:32,556
in an attempt to discover
what was going wrong.

492
00:24:32,580 --> 00:24:34,976
Years later, a recording surfaced

493
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,556
that alleges to capture
what these mics picked up

494
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:40,620
and the sounds are
nothing short of terrifying.

495
00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:48,266
We hear what sounds
like an endless cacophony

496
00:24:48,290 --> 00:24:49,726
of human screams.

497
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:52,636
The scientists themselves
allegedly refer to it

498
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:54,540
as the sounds of hell.

499
00:24:59,450 --> 00:25:00,806
Unfortunately, the Russian government

500
00:25:00,830 --> 00:25:02,726
is not releasing a lot of information,

501
00:25:02,750 --> 00:25:06,726
but it could be some kind
of warning, like a bad spirit,

502
00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:08,976
saying, "maybe you
shouldn't drill down this far

503
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,580
because you're not going
to like what comes up."

504
00:25:12,540 --> 00:25:13,976
Christians began to quit,

505
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,426
a concern that perhaps
this was something

506
00:25:16,450 --> 00:25:17,636
that they should not have done

507
00:25:17,660 --> 00:25:19,886
or for fear of divine reprisal

508
00:25:19,910 --> 00:25:23,886
for accidentally or purposefully
drilling into hell itself.

509
00:25:23,910 --> 00:25:26,426
At this time, speculation began to swirl

510
00:25:26,450 --> 00:25:28,306
about why the Russians
were drilling in kola

511
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:29,676
in the first place.

512
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:31,676
A lot of religions believe that hell itself

513
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:33,636
exists below the surface of the earth.

514
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:36,096
There was some questioning
as to whether the Russians

515
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:40,636
were attempting to make
contact with the devil.

516
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:42,806
The majority of human
beings throughout history

517
00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:44,806
have always believed in hell.

518
00:25:44,830 --> 00:25:48,926
I've had so many experiences
at exorcisms, and evil spirits,

519
00:25:48,950 --> 00:25:52,596
they certainly acknowledge
that they are coming from hell.

520
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:55,346
But if hell exists, is it underground?

521
00:25:55,370 --> 00:25:58,806
While the general idea of hell
goes back to the time of Christ,

522
00:25:58,830 --> 00:26:00,806
it wasn't until the middle ages

523
00:26:00,830 --> 00:26:04,306
that hell was depicted
as a pit of pain and torture.

524
00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:08,056
We really get our most
descriptive versions of hell

525
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,636
from Italian poet Dante,

526
00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:11,676
who wrote "the inferno"
and "the divine comedy."

527
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:14,306
We see kind of this layered approach

528
00:26:14,330 --> 00:26:16,306
as Dante goes deeper into hell.

529
00:26:16,330 --> 00:26:20,556
And the final circles of hell
are these horrible, fiery places

530
00:26:20,580 --> 00:26:23,596
and souls are essentially tortured

531
00:26:23,620 --> 00:26:26,016
for their evil deeds on earth.

532
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,596
If we believe that hell
is a real physical place,

533
00:26:29,620 --> 00:26:32,016
it stands to reason that
those millions of souls

534
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,636
would scream out in agony quite loudly

535
00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:37,386
from the bowels of this hellish cavern

536
00:26:37,410 --> 00:26:39,250
through the earth's mantle.

537
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,926
Back in 2016, a Michigan-based priest

538
00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:48,726
claimed he got a glimpse of hell

539
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:50,596
after suffering a heart attack.

540
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:51,926
He said he saw his soul

541
00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:55,016
travel deep into the center of the earth

542
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,766
where he witnessed
men being burned alive

543
00:26:57,790 --> 00:27:01,016
and humanoids that walked on all fours.

544
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,426
Could this audio recording
help verify those visions?

545
00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:07,660
Let's listen to the experts.

546
00:27:11,290 --> 00:27:14,886
NASA geologist Bob Anderson
explores the initial problem

547
00:27:14,910 --> 00:27:16,886
with the kola super deep hole,

548
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:19,556
those odd equipment malfunctions.

549
00:27:19,580 --> 00:27:21,726
As you go deeper down into the rock,

550
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:23,926
the earth is getting warmer.

551
00:27:23,950 --> 00:27:27,476
And so, as they go down,
the drill bits start slowing down.

552
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,476
When they put the microphones down,

553
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,726
the temperature was increasing
to a very high temperature.

554
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:35,726
We don't have microphones
that can handle 2,000 degrees,

555
00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:38,846
and so basically, the
microphones are deteriorating

556
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:42,476
as they go down, and you
get some really weird sounds.

557
00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:45,886
So the heat might have
produced the recorded sounds,

558
00:27:45,910 --> 00:27:48,250
but to many, they do sound human.

559
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:53,766
The sounds that we can
identify are moans and howls

560
00:27:53,790 --> 00:27:55,926
that are within the frequency range

561
00:27:55,950 --> 00:27:58,926
and the characteristics
that a human could produce.

562
00:27:58,950 --> 00:28:01,596
Could this truly be a
chorus of the damned?

563
00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:04,846
According to maher,
the devil is in the details.

564
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:08,096
There are several
characteristics in the spectrogram

565
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,676
that we can see that
have an identical duplicate

566
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:13,636
at other points in the recording.

567
00:28:13,660 --> 00:28:16,476
So there's a particular
shriek utterance here,

568
00:28:16,500 --> 00:28:18,346
which matches one at the beginning,

569
00:28:18,370 --> 00:28:21,200
and then that same utterance
appears here at the end.

570
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:28,426
It would be literally impossible

571
00:28:28,450 --> 00:28:31,926
to make those exact
duplicates that we see here.

572
00:28:31,950 --> 00:28:35,426
So again, the indications
are that those are simply loops

573
00:28:35,450 --> 00:28:36,726
of a single recording.

574
00:28:36,750 --> 00:28:39,016
This was mixed or put together

575
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,040
rather than being a
continuous authentic recording.

576
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:48,096
Our verdict?

577
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,846
We are saying this is a
hoax tied to a real event.

578
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:54,176
While the drilling operation
itself was in fact real,

579
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,176
the stories of these strange sounds

580
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,846
seem to be nothing more than fiction.

581
00:28:58,870 --> 00:29:01,926
In recent years, the depth
record of the kola borehole

582
00:29:01,950 --> 00:29:04,056
has already been broken twice.

583
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,806
So if there is anything that lies below,

584
00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:10,250
we may be getting closer
and closer to finding it.

585
00:29:14,290 --> 00:29:18,176
Can evil spirits possess
our bodies even after we die?

586
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,476
In our next story, we
take a look at evidence

587
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:22,016
from an ancient burial ground

588
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,016
that indicates a genuine
fear of the undead

589
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,556
among a terrified community.

590
00:29:27,580 --> 00:29:29,676
Were they onto something?

591
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:33,556
It's late 2023 in the
village of pien, Poland.

592
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:36,516
Dariusz polinski, along with
his team of fellow researchers,

593
00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:40,346
are excavating an unmarked
17th century cemetery

594
00:29:40,370 --> 00:29:42,556
first discovered in 2005.

595
00:29:42,580 --> 00:29:46,886
Archeologists have unearthed
nearly 100 graves at the site.

596
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:49,136
Their digs just keep getting stranger

597
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,926
until they make this ghastly discovery.

598
00:29:51,950 --> 00:29:53,846
This photo shows remains

599
00:29:53,870 --> 00:29:57,346
that archeologists say are
those of a six-year-old boy

600
00:29:57,370 --> 00:30:01,726
who was buried face down
with a padlock under his left foot

601
00:30:01,750 --> 00:30:04,226
that's seemingly
chaining him to the earth

602
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:07,056
as if to keep the body from getting up

603
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,250
and leaving the grave.

604
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,596
A woman's body was
also found in the cemetery

605
00:30:21,620 --> 00:30:23,346
with a sickle around the neck

606
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:26,426
placed in such a way that if
the deceased tried to get up,

607
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:29,330
the head would be
severed or at least injured.

608
00:30:40,450 --> 00:30:41,427
What's going on here?

609
00:30:41,451 --> 00:30:42,886
Journalist Erin McCarthy

610
00:30:42,910 --> 00:30:46,476
says it could tie back to
the concept of reanimation.

611
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,016
Reanimation of this kind

612
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,846
was a really big fear in
Poland in the 17th century.

613
00:30:51,870 --> 00:30:53,450
They were really afraid of revenants.

614
00:30:54,910 --> 00:30:56,306
Revenant might not be a term

615
00:30:56,330 --> 00:30:58,516
that many people are familiar with.

616
00:30:58,540 --> 00:31:00,846
It actually comes from
the French word revenir,

617
00:31:00,870 --> 00:31:02,136
meaning to come back,

618
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,016
and it describes a number of creatures

619
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,476
that rise from the dead.

620
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,176
If the idea behind the
demonic-like beings

621
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,886
known as revenants, sounds familiar,

622
00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:12,846
it's because the concept would overlap

623
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:15,346
into what we now call the vampire.

624
00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:19,306
Many folklorists suggest that
there was a perceived outbreak

625
00:31:19,330 --> 00:31:21,636
of vampirism in most of Eastern Europe

626
00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:24,346
during the 17th and 18th centuries,

627
00:31:24,370 --> 00:31:27,726
where many individuals
reported seeing violent acts

628
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:30,136
perpetrated by recently
deceased individuals

629
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,346
who continue to walk the earth.

630
00:31:32,370 --> 00:31:36,806
One famous tale in 1674, a
Polish man Rose from the dead

631
00:31:36,830 --> 00:31:39,926
and he was going around
sucking the blood of his neighbors.

632
00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:41,886
His nocturnal wanderings only stopped

633
00:31:41,910 --> 00:31:44,176
when the body was decapitated.

634
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,976
Historians suggest
materials made of iron,

635
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,426
like this small lock,

636
00:31:48,450 --> 00:31:51,846
were used to keep members
of the undead at bay.

637
00:31:51,870 --> 00:31:53,886
There are hundreds of burials like this

638
00:31:53,910 --> 00:31:56,016
across the baltic states,

639
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,346
in Poland, in Bulgaria,
and in other areas.

640
00:31:59,370 --> 00:32:01,766
Vampire burials were
so pervasive at this time

641
00:32:01,790 --> 00:32:03,346
that officials actually banned them

642
00:32:03,370 --> 00:32:05,096
to try to tamp down on the superstitions

643
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,176
about the creatures.

644
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,806
However, this is the only time

645
00:32:08,830 --> 00:32:11,540
a child has been found buried this way.

646
00:32:12,790 --> 00:32:14,096
Many scholars today

647
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,266
believe that the legends
we now know as vampires,

648
00:32:17,290 --> 00:32:19,516
first originated amongst slavic people

649
00:32:19,540 --> 00:32:21,426
as early as the 4th century.

650
00:32:21,450 --> 00:32:23,096
The word vampire itself

651
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,976
is thought to be derived
from the Latin word impurus,

652
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,516
meaning impure or unclean.

653
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:33,676
Could these remains really
belong to early blood suckers?

654
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:35,700
Let's see what our experts think.

655
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,176
Archeologist Dr. Ed barnhart

656
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,726
believes we are seeing what
he calls apotropaic burials,

657
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:47,016
burials conducted in a specific manner

658
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,226
with the intention of warding off evil.

659
00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:52,266
Practically speaking,
shackling someone's toe

660
00:32:52,290 --> 00:32:55,056
is not going to prevent
them from getting up.

661
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,346
But their talismans,

662
00:32:56,370 --> 00:32:59,846
the material mattered,
the placement mattered,

663
00:32:59,870 --> 00:33:04,016
but they were basically
magic incantations

664
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,766
that prevented that
body from coming back.

665
00:33:07,790 --> 00:33:10,926
But barnhart suggests
that the reason this child

666
00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:13,346
may have been considered
a revenant-like vampire

667
00:33:13,370 --> 00:33:16,226
could be due to ignorance
of a more real world condition.

668
00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:17,556
Somehow or another,

669
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:21,176
these people were
mistreated or misunderstood.

670
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,676
Perhaps they had a mental illness

671
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,886
that people didn't sympathize with,

672
00:33:25,910 --> 00:33:28,226
but the remedy was always the same.

673
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:30,176
Keep that body in its grave,

674
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,346
make sure that it can't
wriggle out of the dirt

675
00:33:33,370 --> 00:33:34,516
and come for us.

676
00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:36,516
Anthropologist Kathy strain adds

677
00:33:36,540 --> 00:33:39,176
that sometimes just
getting sick and dying

678
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,926
could provoke this extreme reaction.

679
00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:42,266
During the time of the plague,

680
00:33:42,290 --> 00:33:46,136
they probably overreacted in fear

681
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,136
and that might be
what we're seeing here.

682
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,176
It logically makes sense to me

683
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,636
that the six-year-old
was probably targeted

684
00:33:52,660 --> 00:33:55,596
because he was sick first
and they wanted to make sure

685
00:33:55,620 --> 00:33:59,620
that whatever it is that
he had didn't spread.

686
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:04,517
Our verdict?

687
00:34:04,541 --> 00:34:07,346
We're going with superstitious burial.

688
00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:09,266
There has never been tangible proof

689
00:34:09,290 --> 00:34:11,346
over the last several centuries

690
00:34:11,370 --> 00:34:15,096
to establish the existence
of revenant-like vampires.

691
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,176
But whatever was
going on with this child

692
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,660
spooked these people
enough to Bury him in this way.

693
00:34:24,660 --> 00:34:26,926
We end tonight with a
disturbing piece of video

694
00:34:26,950 --> 00:34:28,266
out of Poland.

695
00:34:28,290 --> 00:34:30,306
As we mentioned earlier,
many European countries

696
00:34:30,330 --> 00:34:32,016
are showing a steady increase

697
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,846
in reports of supposed
demonic possession.

698
00:34:34,870 --> 00:34:38,040
And in this case, the local
cops had to get involved.

699
00:34:39,450 --> 00:34:42,306
We're in Poland again, but
this story is much more recent.

700
00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:46,426
It's new year's Eve 2022
in the village of grubsko.

701
00:34:46,450 --> 00:34:49,516
Three local policemen
are dispatched to a house

702
00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:52,846
after receiving a phone call
from a disturbed neighbor

703
00:34:52,870 --> 00:34:56,410
who claims to be hearing
strange noises coming from within.

704
00:34:58,370 --> 00:35:01,806
This horrifying video
has been verified as real

705
00:35:01,830 --> 00:35:03,200
by the Polish police.

706
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:11,636
Supposedly, these monstrous sounds

707
00:35:11,660 --> 00:35:14,676
are coming from a 20-year-old
woman named kamilka

708
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:17,750
who has barricaded
herself inside the attic.

709
00:35:20,370 --> 00:35:21,976
The police attempt to coax her out

710
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,200
as she continues to snarl like
some type of ferocious beast.

711
00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:37,176
If there was ever such a thing
as a classic demonic possession,

712
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,846
this would be it.

713
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:44,386
Clearly, this is somebody
who went out of her element,

714
00:35:44,410 --> 00:35:47,516
her own personality,
and for whatever reason,

715
00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:51,266
took on the personality of another.

716
00:35:51,290 --> 00:35:52,976
And while Brooks stresses

717
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,676
that this is just a first impression,

718
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:58,386
she says that Poland has
become ground zero of sorts

719
00:35:58,410 --> 00:36:00,726
in a battle between satanic forces

720
00:36:00,750 --> 00:36:02,596
and the religiously devout.

721
00:36:02,620 --> 00:36:06,346
Poland is actually the largest
Roman catholic population

722
00:36:06,370 --> 00:36:07,620
in all of Europe.

723
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:10,426
So there's a concentration
of exorcists in Poland,

724
00:36:10,450 --> 00:36:13,806
about the same number
as the whole United States,

725
00:36:13,830 --> 00:36:18,266
and yet Poland is only
about the size of new Mexico.

726
00:36:18,290 --> 00:36:20,226
Brooks mentions online rumors

727
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:23,346
claim kamilka had been
using a ouija board with friends

728
00:36:23,370 --> 00:36:25,176
earlier that same evening.

729
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,306
There's very rich and long history

730
00:36:27,330 --> 00:36:30,136
associated with the ouija board.

731
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,976
It became known in
the early 20th century

732
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,926
as something that would be used

733
00:36:34,950 --> 00:36:36,726
as portals to other dimensions

734
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:40,516
in which certain entities
can then come through.

735
00:36:40,540 --> 00:36:43,476
There are story after story

736
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:46,346
of nefarious incidents happening,

737
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:48,596
including but not limited to possession

738
00:36:48,620 --> 00:36:51,386
as a result of using a ouija board.

739
00:36:51,410 --> 00:36:53,596
The ouija board was originally invented

740
00:36:53,620 --> 00:36:55,766
as a parlor game in the late 1800s

741
00:36:55,790 --> 00:36:57,676
when many Americans
became obsessed

742
00:36:57,700 --> 00:37:01,056
with the spiritual idea of
communicating with the dead.

743
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,136
By the 20th century, it was a tool

744
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,846
frequently used by popular occultists,

745
00:37:05,870 --> 00:37:07,226
like aleister crowley.

746
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:09,426
Many experts believe ouija boards

747
00:37:09,450 --> 00:37:11,096
should not be taken lightly.

748
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,516
These things do
communicate with spirits.

749
00:37:15,540 --> 00:37:17,766
The problem being is that one minute

750
00:37:17,790 --> 00:37:21,016
you're talking to your wonderful
deceased grandmother,

751
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,830
and the next minute you're
talking to a demonic spirit.

752
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,516
So could kamilka have accidentally

753
00:37:27,540 --> 00:37:29,676
opened the door to an evil entity,

754
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:32,306
and could that explain
how a 20-year-old girl

755
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:34,306
can make these inhuman sounds?

756
00:37:34,330 --> 00:37:36,806
Something negative got to this woman.

757
00:37:36,830 --> 00:37:40,346
Something scared her
so badly, she lost her mind,

758
00:37:40,370 --> 00:37:42,620
might have even become possessed.

759
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:46,056
With more than 150 exorcists

760
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,176
currently working in Poland,

761
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,636
the practice has become so popular

762
00:37:49,660 --> 00:37:52,056
that the catholic church
has approved plans

763
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,846
for an exorcism center in
the country's city of katowice.

764
00:37:56,870 --> 00:37:58,846
It's described as a place where priests

765
00:37:58,870 --> 00:38:02,516
will be able to hone and
perfect their exorcism skills.

766
00:38:02,540 --> 00:38:05,806
So are we witnessing an actual
case of demonic possession

767
00:38:05,830 --> 00:38:09,976
in this video, or is there
something else going on?

768
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,790
We turn to our experts.

769
00:38:15,410 --> 00:38:17,516
As we did in our other investigations

770
00:38:17,540 --> 00:38:18,846
into demonic possession,

771
00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:21,056
we checked in with our
forensic audio analyst

772
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,370
to see if these sounds
were even human.

773
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,516
For a normal speech sound
or even somebody yelling,

774
00:38:29,540 --> 00:38:31,806
we expect that the
fundamental frequency

775
00:38:31,830 --> 00:38:36,846
is probably in the range of
perhaps 200 hertz, 250 hertz,

776
00:38:36,870 --> 00:38:40,516
but with this growl sound,
there's a lot of energy

777
00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:42,596
right around 1,000 hertz.

778
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:44,846
So does that mean these vocalizations

779
00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:46,346
are truly inhuman?

780
00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:47,556
Not necessarily.

781
00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:49,176
If we look at a recording

782
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,450
that has been made of a voice actor...

783
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:56,846
We see again that we have this energy

784
00:38:56,870 --> 00:39:00,886
located in the spectrum
up and around 1,000 hertz,

785
00:39:00,910 --> 00:39:02,636
which is what we also heard

786
00:39:02,660 --> 00:39:05,580
in the sound from the recording scene.

787
00:39:11,540 --> 00:39:13,676
So it's plausible that a human being

788
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:16,056
would be able to make that shriek sound.

789
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,886
Okay, so nothing inhuman
about these sounds.

790
00:39:18,910 --> 00:39:21,346
Psychiatrist and demonic
possession expert

791
00:39:21,370 --> 00:39:23,886
Richard Gallagher is
also conflicted on this

792
00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:26,516
being real evidence of
an actual possession.

793
00:39:26,540 --> 00:39:30,306
There is some suggestive
sign that that's a possibility,

794
00:39:30,330 --> 00:39:31,846
but you'd need a lot more evidence.

795
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:35,426
I would wanna know much more
about this woman's background,

796
00:39:35,450 --> 00:39:37,346
interview people who know her,

797
00:39:37,370 --> 00:39:40,136
and find out more about her history.

798
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,266
Almost all the time,

799
00:39:41,290 --> 00:39:44,556
if you get all the facts of the case,

800
00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:47,226
you can make a discernment
one way or the other.

801
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:48,516
And while many of the facts

802
00:39:48,540 --> 00:39:49,926
remain shrouded in mystery,

803
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:52,426
authorities confirmed that
the woman in this video

804
00:39:52,450 --> 00:39:54,846
was eventually checked into a hospital.

805
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:57,636
Whenever a young person
presents to the hospital

806
00:39:57,660 --> 00:40:00,476
with bizarre behavior, illicit drug use

807
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:04,266
has to be high up on
your list of differentials.

808
00:40:04,290 --> 00:40:07,726
It's not uncommon for people
to be like this in hospital.

809
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:10,676
If we were to witness that in
the emergency department,

810
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:14,846
it wouldn't even be the
most crazy story of the week.

811
00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:16,346
I think this footage

812
00:40:16,370 --> 00:40:19,176
conjures up the idea of a horror movie,

813
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,806
but based on the limited evidence,

814
00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:24,870
there's no clear understanding
of exactly what's gone on here.

815
00:40:28,870 --> 00:40:29,807
Our verdict?

816
00:40:29,831 --> 00:40:32,516
We're saying this is unexplained.

817
00:40:32,540 --> 00:40:34,136
On one hand, this video

818
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,636
doesn't satisfy any of the
verifiable signs of possession

819
00:40:37,660 --> 00:40:39,636
according to our experts.

820
00:40:39,660 --> 00:40:41,226
Yet, when we dug further,

821
00:40:41,250 --> 00:40:43,556
the authorities refused to elaborate

822
00:40:43,580 --> 00:40:47,176
rather than just debunking
it, which seems odd to some.

823
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,846
So as of today, kamilka's
story is still an open case.

824
00:40:51,870 --> 00:40:53,676
And that's our episode for tonight.

825
00:40:53,700 --> 00:40:55,926
Although many believe
the devil's presence

826
00:40:55,950 --> 00:40:58,596
continues to grow within modern society,

827
00:40:58,620 --> 00:41:02,676
much of what we found appears
to be hoaxes or misjudgments

828
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:05,306
rooted in faith-based ideas.

829
00:41:05,330 --> 00:41:07,386
However, there are still a couple of cases

830
00:41:07,410 --> 00:41:10,346
we just can't explain.

831
00:41:10,370 --> 00:41:12,346
Thank you so much for watching,

832
00:41:12,370 --> 00:41:15,080
and as always, keep
those cameras rolling.
