Grant: A little breakfast. Well, a little cheesecake. Yeah. Well, let me tell you about this place, guys. We're going to what's called The Original Springs Hotel. Oh. Cool. In Okawville, Illinois. This is Jeremy... Okay. ...and his wife, Kendra. But what's interesting about this one is, they're not really calling for themselves. They're concerned about his mother. Oh. Really? We get all kind of calls and e-mails from all kinds of people. Most are clients calling for themselves, but, occasionally, you get people who call on the behalf of someone else, and those are always tricky because you're never sure if the person they're calling on behalf of really wants your help. My name's Jeremy Rennegarbe. This is my wife, Kendra. We've been married for about five years now. Five years. During that five years, we've worked at The Original Springs Hotel in Okawville, Illinois, which my mother, Mary Rennegarbe, owns and operates. She originally started there as a waitress and worked her way up through, and now has fallen completely in love with the building to the point that I'm becoming concerned. She seems to spend more and more time there, and it seems to me that she's just completely consumed by the building itself these past few months. In the hotel's history, there have been three owners in the past that tragically committed suicide in the building. Wow. See where this is going? -Yeah. -Yeah. And I don't understand why. Recently, there has been a spike in people reporting activity, reporting seeing things, so we were wondering, was there a power there before that influenced these people to tragically kill themselves, or is there paranormal activity there because they killed themselves? And I'm worried that the past is coming back to haunt us. that my mother may, in turn, snap herself, and that concerns me. I don't want to see any harm to my mother. Daryl: Okay. Pretty straightforward. Wow. This history of suicides at this place, and he's starting to see his mom's behavior change and the activity spike in the hotel. When it comes to even the smallest, tiny threat of suicide, you gotta respond. Alright, well, this is kind of a heavy-duty case. This is -- Yeah, yeah. It deals with suicide. We have to be very delicate about it. Let's do what we do best. Yeah. When you have a case like this, and the client is worried about someone else's mental state, worried that suicide might be a factor, you can't get in that car fast enough. I'm supposed to be downstairs in five minutes. [ Horn honks ] Aah. We're going to Illinois. Somewhere where we're needed. Is you ready? Got my bags packed. Yeah. Mustafa: Alright, guys, we're heading to The Original Springs Hotel in Okawville, Illinois. The reason why it's called The Original Springs Hotel is 'cause -- you guessed it -- it's built on a mineral spring reservoir. Just so happens that the wife of Reverend J.F. Schierbaum, Anna Schierbaum, who was reported to have been a hopeless invalid, she took a dip in the springs, and she was able to walk again, and her -- her rheumatoid arthritis was cured. So after Anna Schierbaum experienced the curative properties of the mineral springs, she convinced her husband to pool together their resources, and then they opened up The Original Springs Hotel. Grant: I mean, as paranormal investigators, we know that places with flowing water and mineral water have more reported claims of paranormal activity. Let's get a specialist in there and test the water. -Yep. -Yes. That could give us some insight into maybe why this phenomenon exists in the first place. So, after Anna passed away at the hotel from natural causes, the history of this place turned pretty dark. Between Anna and Mary, three owners of The Original Springs Hotel committed suicide while on the job. That's interesting. That's interesting. So maybe it does have something to do with the hotel itself. This case really kind of hits home for me. My brother committed suicide, so I'm taking a really deep, personal interest in this one. Each location is a unique case, but this one's special, man. Grant: Hey. Kendra: Hi. Thanks for having us. We're excited to be here, excited to meet you guys. -Thanks for being here. Thank you for coming. So, you've known this place your whole life. Yeah. My parents, Mary and Don, bought the place in May of 1990. I've grown up in this building. Right. I was about 5 years old whenever they took over the business. So, you know, we saw your call for help, and, obviously, a lot of it centers around your mom. Correct. But let's put Mom aside for a second because we want to understand what's going on here. So, what are you experiencing? What is the staff experiencing? What's it like? Well, a lot of staff claim that they'll put a dish down on one area... ...and then turn around, come back, and it's moved. Silverware just rearranged in odd positions. So they don't see it move as much as it's just moved. It's just moved, yeah. What would you say are the places in the hotel that require the most focus? Generally in the old men's bath house. Back in the day, women would go to one side and do everything. Men would go to the other. If you're a woman, you just feel unwelcome in there. Oh, makes sense. And sometimes, it is very aggressive. In 1867, they discovered that there was an unusual water source under this town, and that it had all of these minerals in it that could be curative to people who had rheumatism and arthritis and other ailments. Then, in 1884, a woman named Anna Schierbaum came here with her husband, and she was an invalid. She came here, took a series of baths, and, suddenly, was cured. Mustafa: And that's why she became totally enamored with the place, right? Yeah. And she convinced her husband to invest and build this hotel. So, they opened this hotel, and it did huge business. Yeah. But then Anna Schierbaum passed away and put things into the hand of her son Ben. Now, Ben Schierbaum loved the place and decided to settle in, and he married the daughter of a merchant, and they didn't get along well. She eventually left him about four years after they got married. And it sent him into a terrible spiral. [ Thunder crashes ] And, eventually, he just lost it. He had taken a shotgun and a curtain rod and pulled the trigger with it and blew his own head off... [<i> Gunshot</i> ] ...downstairs, right off the hallway. So, what are some of the claims here? It was, like, a Monday or a Tuesday night. We were really slow. And I was behind the bar, and I happened to glance up at the upstairs dining room and happened to see, like, a woman. She had brown hair and, like, a white gown on. I came upstairs, and, like, "Can I help you?" and stuff like that, but there was nobody up here, and nobody answered. Kendra: The Lady in White is usually seen. Jeremy: Yeah. She has been a full apparition that people can actually see. Yeah, and all over the building, from out by the pool to down those main hallways. Room 350 is a very... Room 350, for sure. Kiser-Benfield: Most recently, we had guests up here on the third floor. They were laying in bed, and she felt something, like, holding her legs down. [<i> Woman screaming</i> ] So she woke her husband up, and once that pressure kind of relieved, they packed up their stuff. They did not want to stay here at all. We do have a lot of staff that don't like to come up here on the third floor. We have a lot of housekeeping that won't use that end staircase 'cause it kind of freaks them out. Taylor: The 1920s come along, and they had a new owner. His name was Conrad Paeben. Mustafa: Okay. And I've always described him as being one of those guys who's sort of obsessed with this place. He wanted to do everything he could to keep this place going. But the bad news was, the stock market crashed, and the Depression hits, and none of it worked. Eventually, in '33, he committed suicide, too. He took poison. One of the first times when I realized that this place was -- you know, had things, I was actually upstairs on the second level in here, and I heard my name. Male voice:<i> Andrea.</i> And I figured it was the cook at the front desk 'cause he lives here. I said, "Greg, did -- did you say my name?" And he said no. And I said, "Are you sure?" And he said, "Yeah. They're just letting you know they know your name." Brandon: Really? So, when you heard your name called, was that a female voice that called you? No, it was a male. It was a male, okay. I like to look at it as Tom Rogers. He was one of the last owners that killed himself here. Taylor: Eventually, Tom Rogers took over the hotel, and everybody knew him as kind of an eccentric. He was just an odd dude. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he just loved to be here and wander the hallways all the time. He'd just wander around this place. Well, then, one morning in 1962, the couple of staff members that he had came up to the room where he stayed in and found him dead in his room. Nobody really could explain it, but they just sort of let it go, 'cause he was just such a strange guy. Grant: So, when we first heard from you, I thought, "Okay, yeah, three of the owners committed suicide, but how many people owned this place?" Right. Right. We found out that it was pretty much those people. Yeah. Which brings up, of course, your concerns. My mother, Mary. I'm fairly concerned with her because knowing the history about this place, I personally don't ever want to see anything like that happen to my mother. I mean, she works here 18 hours a day sometimes... -Wow. ...to keep this place a-going. Kendra: It's almost become where she's fully immersed into the business now. -Yeah. Grant: Jeremy has concerns for his mother. You have these previous owners, three of whom ended their life tragically. -Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you. Hi, Mary. Grant. And he's hoping his mother isn't number four. Has the history of the hotel, knowing the past owners have passed the way they did, has that ever really bothered you or... I haven't really given it a lot of thought. Mrs. Schierbaum, when she ran the hotel, I almost have kind of a correlation with Mrs. Schierbaum and the fact that she ran the hotel with her children. And I've felt like, "I did that, too." Mm-hmm. Do I get concerned sometimes when business gets slow and stuff like that? Yes, I get very concerned. You know that. Well, hopefully, you guys can be the parentheses to this tragedy. And what's so interesting about this place is, how does the water factor in? Which we'll try to get to the bottom of. And, clearly, according to the staff, they're experiencing stuff. What that stuff is, we don't know, but we'll get to the bottom of it and at least move one step towards an answer. Yeah. That's good enough for us. -Yeah. -That works. Mary: Yeah, sounds interesting. Brandon: This case is something personal to me. I lost a brother to suicide in 2004. It's one of those things that leaves a mark in your life, obviously, something that you never quite forget. But I think this is a great moment for me to do exactly what "Ghost Hunters" has set out to do... and make sure these people are comfortable in their own building. -What's up, guys? -Looking good. -Hey. -Hello. -What's up, guys? -What's up? Grant: Alright, so, I know this is a heavier case than most. When there's someone who's worried about suicide, we don't want to make any assumptions. And that goes both ways. We don't want to assume that she's fine. Man: Yeah. But we also don't want to assume that she's, for some reason, in danger of that. You know what I mean? -Yeah. -So it's a tightrope walk. Kristen: And just keep in mind, guys, if we're reaching out to the victims of suicide, let's just try to talk about feelings and connecting in that way, as opposed to focusing on how that person died. -Got it. -Yeah. Okay. We do have three main areas here. Daryl and Kristen, I'll have you guys go to the third floor. Richel and Brian head to the restaurant. And, Brandon and Mustafa, you guys head to the second floor. Man: Sounds good. Alright. Rock 'n' roll. Alright, guys. Let's go lights out. [<i> Thunder crashes</i> ] Oh, my goodness, dude. Look at that. Alright. Brandon: Mustafa and I are now on the second floor. I think we're gonna kind of just hang out in the middle -- what do you think -- for a second, huh? Yeah. Mustafa: So, Brandon and I are going up to the second floor to investigate because this is where Ben Schierbaum reportedly committed suicide. He's the son of Anna Schierbaum, the original owner of The Original Springs Hotel. And we're bringing our data logger with us because we're going to start a session and see if we can establish contact with an entity here. I say we just, like... Hunker down? ...hang out, man. You got the camera on that thing, right? It's -- We're good. Yeah, we're solid. We got the data logger, and we're rolling on that, so... My name is Brandon. This is Mustafa. Is there someone in here with us? Can you speak with us, please? Can you touch that device there? Whoever's here, I-I know it can be hard sometimes. I have a brother that went through some hard times. Whoever's here, are you following Mary around? [ Device beeps ] Ooh, there we go. A spike. Did you see that? Yeah. Is this Ben? Is Anna here with us tonight? Anna? [ Device beeps ] Oh! It's Anna. Anna, are you upset that someone else is running your hotel? No. Nothing. Okay, so, yes. Cameraman: I got both of you guys. Both of our mic packs just died simultaneously. And we -- And we'd literally just had our batteries swapped out. This is something that's, like, very common in paranormal theory, right, when establishing contact with entities. It's, like, they need -- They need to be -- A source. Yeah, they need an energy source in order to be able to establish that communication. These batteries that we're using in these mic packs are Procell batteries. I mean, these things last for hours and hours. We haven't had this happen on any investigation so far. Anna, are you the woman that people see in this building? If so, can you make that -- the light go off, please? [ Device beeps ] Yeah. Anna, do you have a message that you would like to relay? [ Device beeps ] Yeah. Is it about this hotel? Or is it something you just want to tell Mary, in particular? [ Device beeps ] Yep. It's very possible that we were speaking with Anna tonight. Holy moly. So we kind of really have to go through the analysis and have a better understanding of what is going on here. Alright. Brian and Richel in the kitchen restaurant area. Brian: Yeah, so, we've got audible voices. We're closing the kitchen up. They heard that. They've seen what appears to be a woman. In white. In white. Yes. So, let's find us a good spot. Richel: So, after Anna passed away, there were three owners after her that committed suicide -- Ben, Conrad, and Tom. so we're gonna go in there and see if we can communicate with any of 'em. You want to start an EVP session? Sure. So, it's Brian and Richel. We are clearly here to... [ Device beeps ] Oh. ...talk to you. Was that you? Conrad? Is Ben here? Anna? [ Device beeps ] Yes? Brian: Do you know anything about the past owners committing suicide? I don't know. I definitely felt like it was responding... Well, look at it. ...to the questions. It's doing nothing like it was doing earlier. Brian: I don't know that we made contact. We are getting some strange activity going on. I can't say that it's paranormal, but it could be an indication that something is going on. Is the Lady in White you, Anna? Kristen: Daryl and I are investigating Room 350, where previous owner Tom Rogers committed suicide in 1962. Daryl: So, setting up the TriField and data logger, let's try talking to the past owners. Guests have claimed to have felt like they were being grabbed by someone when they've stayed in this room. Hi. My name's Kristen. This is Daryl. We're here, in particular, to speak with Tom. Tom, I heard that you like to wander the halls by yourself here. Is that true? We hear this was your room at one time. Or do you still stay here, or have you moved around the hotel? Just be quiet for a second. What is that? [ Tapping ] Kristen: What the hell? There's somebody walking. [ Tapping ] What is that? What the hell? Daryl to team. Man: Go ahead. Is there anybody above, uh, the third level in the hotel? Uh, aren't you guys up there? Yeah, we're on the third floor, but there sounds like there's somebody walking above us. Third floor is the top level, man. Copy that. While you were talking, I was still listening for it, and I didn't hear anything. Yes, I didn't hear anything in the hallway. Okay. Tom, was that you that I heard a few minutes ago walking upstairs, making the noise? Daryl: We heard some walking around or something going on in the building. This actually sounded like it was coming from above us. With me being a contractor, I know what the sounds houses make when they're settling, and noises of, like, HVAC and plumbing and stuff like that. That definitely was not that. In my opinion, at this point, it -- it could be paranormal. Let's just get out of here. Alright. Brian, Grant, and Richel. On the third floor. Richel: Kristen and Daryl were up here earlier, and they heard some footsteps, but weren't getting any spikes on the data logger. We're gonna go ahead and do an EVP session, and hopefully we hear some noises, like voices. We'll see. My name is Grant. This is Richel. Brian: And I'm Brian. We've come from a long ways to come and talk with you. We were called in here to help Mary. We know many of the people here are afraid. Should they be afraid? Don't hold back. We're really willing to talk to anyone who's here. But if you talk to us, we'd like to talk about the struggles you were having in your life. How difficult that was for you. Just tell us about that or tell us about yourself. We're really just trying to hear your story and -- and figure out how we can help you or Mary. Hey, Brian's coming to look. Don't be afraid. Just making sure it's you or not. Hmm. Did you find it? No. Brandon: Alright, this is Brandon and Mustafa. We are in the bath house. Mustafa: Brandon and I are about to investigate the bath house, and we're bringing a recorder with us. This is gonna be our primary tool for this investigation here. People have reported feeling pretty gnarly in there. There's a lot of bad feelings in the bath house area, and we're going to see if we can establish contact with an entity that can provide us an answer as to whether or not the suicides that took place here have anything to do with the phenomena that people are experiencing. If there's anyone in here with us tonight, this is -- Again, my name is Brandon, and this is Mustafa. So if we can, you know, kind of start a conversation here... if you understand, can you make the light go off, please? [ Device beeps ] What the heck? I know. Right away. Quick. Can you back away from that, just so we know that you're here? We were talking about the way this hotel's run and how Mary is -- has her hands full here. [ Device beeps ] It just went off when you said "Mary." [ Device beeps ] could you let us know? Or you could speak into that red light in that little device over there. [ Device beeps ] Alright. [ Whirring ] We got A.C. kicking on. [ Device beeping ] Whoa. Ah, that's... [ Beeping continues ] Well, since the A.C. unit kicked on, it's consistent. Cons-- Consistently going. Yep. Oh. [ Beeping continues ] I'm gonna grab this and do an EMF sweep. [ Device beeping ] Look at that. Ooh! Holy moly. Mustafa: Dude. [ Device beeping rapidly ] It's hitting up to like 7 1/2 milligauss. Are you kidding me? As much as we wanted to believe that we were establishing contact with an entity, which is really, really, really exciting, we quickly found that there was actually EMF spikes all over the bath house. There's definitely EMF in here. Hey, guys, we're detecting EMF in this place that's coming from power sources. Over. Grant: Copy. Why don't we wrap it up? Brandon: As far as trying to use this as a tool, our means of communication it's not... No. We're compromised here, dude. So, night 1 was interesting. You know, we were getting some activity at first. Anna, are you the woman that people see in this building? [ Device beeps ] Yeah. But then Brandon and Mustafa found these really high EMFs in the bath house. Look at that. Ooh! Mustafa: Holy moly. It can really call into question everything we've experienced so far. Because it's difficult to discern between man-made electromagnetic fields and real paranormal activity. And that's something we have to consider. And on top of that, the mineral spring water in this hotel could be a factor. So I'm gonna arrange to have a professional come in today and analyze that for us. We'll see. Dr. Brooks: Hi. Dr. Brooks, how are you? Grant. Pleasure. Pleasure, pleasure. Nice to meet you. Marj Brooks. Daryl. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too, Daryl. Yeah. So, let's give you a little context. A lot of places that have mineral water in the ground underneath it tend to produce more claims of paranormal. Okay. We would like for you to get various different samples. One of the pieces of information that we really want to get... Mm. ...is the conductivity of each different sample. Right. Okay. You know, a lot of what happens in the paranormal seems to revolve around energy. Electromagnetic fields. That absolutely makes sense to me. Yeah. So, we called in Dr. Brooks to come in and sample the water from its source... Wow. I mean, it's right there. Yes. This has some history. Check it out. So, I'll just lower this in. Whoa! This is crazy-high conductivity. My readings are 1,158 microsiemens for conductivity. ...and then sample the water that people soak in in the tubs. Conductivity's gonna be about the same -- 1,155. ...and then sample the tap water from the municipal water system. Conductivity is 474 microsiemens. Right. It's roughly a third of the spring water. Yeah. Grant: So, thanks to Dr. Brooks, we found out that the mineral water beneath the hotel is three times as conductive as normal tap water, and that's a lot. So, if the water is highly conductive, then anything, any electromagnetic field, would be magnified by this, and that could cause people to feel there's paranormal activity when there isn't. -Alright, see you later. -Thank you, Doctor. Dr. Brooks: Bye-bye. Alright, bye. Wow. Brandon and Mustafa found really high electromagnetic fields in the bath house, and this kind of calls into question everything they've experienced and we've experienced here so far. So I really want to make sure we do a thorough EMF sweep of the entire building. Richel: This is Brian, Grant, and Richel. We're in the hotel on the second floor. Daryl: This is Daryl and Kristen. We're doing an EMF sweep in the men's bath house. Brandon: This is Brandon and Mustafa in the restaurant. So, Mary's desk is on the other side of all this stuff. [ Device beeping ] Yep. Look. It's coming right through the wall. -Yep. -Mm-hmm. 'Cause it's just panel. Look at this. My gosh. Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. [ Device beeping ] Oh. What do you got there? This room is just filled with it. Look at that. That's crazy. Every desk. [ Device beeping ] -Look at that. -Oh, wow. The EMF is really high. High EMF. Look at this. [ Device beeping ] Mustafa: Oh, yeah. Wow. Wow. The EMF is crazy in here. You know, I want to get out of here. Well, I think we found the explanation for the discomfort in the men's bath house. Yeah, I agree. Brandon: Okay, this is rolling. This is Grant, Brandon, and Mustafa in the restaurant. Grant: The -- The main reports in here are a couple of sightings of the woman in white. We did find high electromagnetic fields around the entire building, and so the next thing we want to do is also check for infrasound. If we have high EMF and infrasound, that could really give us some answers here. You want to go kind of set up in the middle up there? Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. It's perfect. Infrasound is any sound below our range of hearing -- technically below 20 hertz. Now, if that sound is also loud enough, if it's over 90 decibels, that's when it starts to affect us in negative ways. And at very specific frequencies, it can really make you feel like you're having a legitimate paranormal experience when you're not. So, this microphone is designed to really have a wide spectrum. This can get down to 5 hertz. And we're rolling on this. The cause of infrasound can be anything from a train going by, a plane overhead, mechanical equipment in the location, or just something natural beneath the earth. Alright, so, let's see if we can get this going, huh? Here's 20 hertz. So if we see anything down on this range that's above 90... Bam. Right there. Yep, 17 hert right there. , That's below, yeah. So, we found that, indeed, there are some things here that are creating the right type of sound that could make people feel very uncomfortable. No, I saw it, too. I saw it. It spik-- It spiked above 90. It looked like it was about like 93, 94. Whatever's happening out here, it's loud, you know. Consistently. Hovering, like, above 90 or 90, right there. Right below it, right -- or right above it. It averages about 90 decibels. Something we need to consider. I mean, it's -- something's happening below 20 hertz and above 90 decibels. Your brain's gonna try to make sense of it. Especially if your head's full of, you know, stories about entities. Alright, guys. Let's call it a night, then. Let's regroup, and we'll figure out a game plan for tomorrow. So, we just wrapped up night 2 here, and another telling investigation. What's really fascinating is the fact that there are two sides to this. On one hand, I think we're solidly disproving a lot of what could cause the general reports here. That being said, the footsteps that Daryl and Kristen experienced on the third floor and the potential power draw on the second floor can't really be explained away by EMF or infrasound. And so, we're tired. We're gonna go back, get the rest of the puzzle pieces, and hopefully even have more information to share with Jeremy and Mary. -Look at that. -Oh, wow. Grant: Bam. Right there. Look. There's proof. Brian's coming to look. Well, I'm reviewing the footage from The Original Springs Hotel. Interesting case. It's hitting up to like 7 1/2 milligauss. Are you kidding me? A lot of EMF. There's tons of EMF going on. You know, it's easy to get frustrated when you discover factors that compromise the findings we've made. Hi. I'm definitely gonna be looking for EVPs. Grant: But you can't let those emotions get in the way. What are we after? We're after the truth. And if something frustrates our findings or counters our findings, then that's the truth. And that's what we embrace. What is that? It sounded like footsteps. It went on for a good, maybe 10 seconds. It got louder as it moved. [ Tapping ] It's very important to have patience and determination and a desire to find the truth, and that's exactly what this team has. Back to work. Grant: Guys, it's good to see you again. -Yeah. -Good to see you guys. We're glad to be here, yeah. We came in here, and the main concern that we seem to get from you, Jeremy, was, based on the tragic history of the owners of this place, "Is my mother at risk?" Yes. Is there any danger of her going the same route as the three owners who ended their own lives? So, the first thing we wanted to figure out was if any of the previous owners are still here at the hotel. Okay. And to that end, it seems like two of our teams may have communicated with a possible entity. We have these devices that are called data loggers, and they measure electromagnetic fields, temperature, air pressure, humidity, as well as movement. But we can also use them to communicate. So, first is our team, Brian and Richel, who investigated in the restaurant. We are clearly here to... [ Device beeps ] Richel: Oh. ...talk to you. [ Device beeps ] Is the Lady in White you, Anna? [ Device beeps ] -That's crazy. -So, that's interesting. And then we had our team members Brandon and Mustafa investigate the bath house. We were talking about the way this hotel's run and how Mary is -- has her hands full here. [ Device beeps ] Brandon: It just went off when you said "Mary." Hmm. And then this is an experience that -- that Daryl and Kristen had up on the third floor. Daryl: Yeah. Everyone's perfectly still. Daryl: Just be quiet for a second. What is that? [ Tapping ] Kristen: What the hell? There's somebody walking. There was no one above us. I can't explain it. -Mm. -It was pretty intense. Kendra: Yeah. Mm. Grant: Now, that being said, there are some bigger things at play here that we need to focus on. [ Device beeping ] Whoa. ...what we did find were high electromagnetic fields around the entire building. -Look at that. Ooh! -Holy moly. Mustafa: Dude. If you look, you can see. We have this data logger, and what we're looking for is anything that's about a -- a 4 milligauss or higher, and we found that a lot. Mustafa: It's going crazy. So that can explain away a lot of just the odd feelings. That's a symptom of high EMF, is feeling uncomfortable. Okay. We also decided that we were gonna check for what's called infrasound. When there's infrasound below 20 hertz but above 90 decibels, we typically can't hear, but we start to feel it. And that's effects can be discomfort, feeling paranoia. Here's a chart, and you can see right in the 17-hertz range, there's an average above 90 decibels. And right in that range, in particular, people tend to feel like they're having an encounter with an entity of some type. So this could explain the sightings of a lady in white. Unfortunately, we can't say for sure if the EMF we detected was due to paranormal activity or man-made factors. Oh, that's interesting. Now, one of the things we really wanted to look into here was, what makes this place unique? Why it exists in the first place. And that's the spring water underneath it. So Daryl and I brought in Dr. Brooks, and what we were looking for specifically was the conductivity of the water. Whoa! This is crazy-high conductivity, it looks like. So, why do we care about it conducting electricity? Let's put it all together. Infrasound, high electromagnetic fields, amplified by the huge mineral lake you're sitting on here. -Wow. -Huh. Interesting, right? Interesting. -Yes, it's very interesting. -Yeah, right. You combine this type of natural environmental condition with the stories, and you can see how it could compound. Mm-hmm. Now, this doesn't mean that people are in danger by coming here. It's perfectly safe. It can just have this effect on people. There are ways to insulate against that. You can have an electrician come in, insulate as much as possible. It doesn't mean there's nothing paranormal here. It just means that if we can figure this stuff out and insulate against it, then people are more likely to have a genuine experience. Sure. Sure. Right? So, one of the major concerns from you, Jeremy -- "Is my mother at risk?" -Yes. -I work as a therapist, and so I talk with people who may be having these types of thoughts. And I'd like to know, too, with you, Jeremy, if there was not this traumatic history in this hotel, would you even think that that would be a road that your mother would go down, or something you'd be concerned for her? Probably not. No. Yes, okay. And that happens, you know. We have -- We hear of these stories, and we become suggestible to it, and so that makes sense. But in Mary's situation, her life is different than what we know of the three owners that did take their lives. A major one is that she has a family that loves and supports her. You even talked about missing your grandchildren and wanting to spend more time with them. Mm-hmm. And so I also really encourage you to find that balance. You know, life is short. -Yeah. -Time is short. Spend time with the ones you love. You know, sometimes when you get so close to the forest, you can't see the trees. And I think I need to step back from the forest a little bit and enjoy the trees a little bit. Well, we want to thank you guys very much for trusting us with this place. -Yes. It's a very wonderful, hospitable place. -Thank you, guys. -You're welcome. Jeremy: She's always heard it from us and her family that she needs to take time for herself. I think having somebody else from the outside looking in and saying it, she'll definitely take that a little bit -- a little bit more to heart. -Whoo. Breezy. -Oh, yeah. Mary: I was very impressed with what they had to share. Kristen had some really positive aspects for me. Kind of opened my eyes up a little bit, and kind of took a little step back. And I need to revalue some things. -Take care, man. -Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys. -Bye. -Bye. -Bye, guys. -Take care. -Thank you. -It's not uncommon for reports of paranormal activity and our investigations to bring families together. I feel like our visit has given Jeremy and Kendra a chance to express their concerns to Mary. Considering there's no indication of aggressive paranormal activity at all in the hotel, and the fact that her family clearly loves and cares for her, I'm confident that Mary is gonna be just fine. As it turned out, the solution in this case was less about the paranormal and more about focusing on our loved ones while they're still alive.
