>> female narrator: PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD REPORT SEEING SOMETHING THAT SCARES THEM.
>> SOMETHING ACTUALLY PUSHED ME FROM BEHIND.
>> narrator: AND THEY SAY THEY'VE GOT THE EVIDENCE TO
PROVE IT ON VIDEO... >> IT DID IT AGAIN.
>> narrator: IN PHOTOGRAPHS, ON AUDIOTAPE...
VOICES THAT SEEM TO COME OUT OF NOWHERE.
>> I MEAN, I CAN HEAR THAT. YOU CAN HEAR THAT.
>> narrator: DOES BRAND-NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
FINALLY GIVE US ANSWERS? >> THIS IS, AGAIN, ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY TO SCIENTIFICALLY PROVE YOUR EXISTENCE.
>> narrator:<i> MONSTER QUEST</i> INVESTIGATES AT ONE OF HISTORY'S
BLOODIEST CRIME SCENES... >> MRS. BORDEN HAD RECEIVED 19
HITS TO HER HEAD. >> narrator: IN WHAT'S BEEN
CALLED THE MOST HAUNTED HOUSE IN AMERICA.
>> YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO THIS. I WOULD CONSIDER THEM TO BE
SPIRIT VOICES. >> male narrator: WITNESSES
AROUND THE WORLD REPORT SEEING MONSTERS.
ARE THEY REAL OR IMAGINARY? SCIENCE SEARCHES FOR ANSWERS
ON<i> MONSTER QUEST.</i> >> female narrator: MORE THAN
1/3 OF AMERICANS BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, THAT SPIRITS OF THE LONG
DEPARTED LINGER IN THE WORLD OF THE LIVING.
>> I ACTUALLY FELT SOMETHING BRUSH BETWEEN THE LOWER PARTS OF
MY LEGS. >> WE HEARD FOOTSTEPS RIGHT
ABOVE US IN THE HALLWAY IN THE KITCHEN.
>> OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING BLUE
PASSING ME. >> ALL OF THE SUDDEN, MY LEGS,
WHICH WERE DRAPED OVER THE SIDE OF THE BED HERE, JUST STARTED
PICKING UP ON THEIR OWN. >> narrator: MANY OF THESE
PARANORMAL INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT ON FILM OR VIDEO.
>> DID ANYBODY MOVE BACK AND STEP ON THE WIRE?
>> narrator: THIS MAN SAYS AN UNSEEN HAND MOVED HIS VIDEO
CAMERA IN A HAUNTED HOUSE. >> YOU CAN HEAR AND SEE THAT
THERE IS SOMETHING PHYSICALLY MOVING THE CAMERA,
BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR ON THE CAMERA.
>> I CAN SEE SEVERAL ANOMALIES MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT,
UP AND DOWN. >> RIGHT THERE, SEE?
>> UH-HUH. >> narrator: THIS MAN SAYS HIS
CAMERA FILMED GHOSTS ON A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD.
>> LOOK. >> THERE'S NOBODY DOWN THERE.
>> narrator: TELEVISION NEWSCASTS REPORTED THIS AMATEUR
VIDEO MIGHT HAVE CAPTURED A PARANORMAL APPARITION RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE VATICAN BASILICA.
>> AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TOMB HERE IT'S ALL CLEAR.
AND THERE WILL BE A GHOST COMING UP.
>> YOU HEARD CORRECTLY. HE SAID GHOST.
>> narrator: AND THIS STRANGE BLUE FIGURE HAS BECOME KNOWN AS
THE BLUE GHOST OF PARMA AFTER IT WAS RECORDED ON AN OHIO GAS
STATION SECURITY CAMERA AND BROADCAST ON NATIONAL TV.
TECHNOLOGY CAPTURED THIS EVIDENCE.
CAN SCIENCE AUTHENTICATE IT AS PARANORMAL?<i>
MONSTER QUEST</i> GATHERED TOGETHER THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE OUT
THERE TO BE ANALYZED BY EXPERTS FOR CLUES TO ITS AUTHENTICITY.
>> SO THIS IS THE SOFA ON WHICH ANDREW WAS KILLED.
>> narrator: BUT<i> MONSTER QUEST</i> WILL ALSO GENERATE NEW
EVIDENCE INVESTIGATING WHAT MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTED
PLACES IN AMERICA, THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE, USING THE
HIGHEST RESOLUTION THERMAL CAMERA IN USE TODAY.
ALL EVIDENCE WILL BE SUBMITTED FOR ANALYSIS IN SEARCH OF PROOF
OF THE PARANORMAL. A PARANORMAL EYE WITNESS MAY, IN
SOME CASES, SIMPLY REPORT FEELING THE PRESENCE OF A GHOST.
BUT IN THE RAREST CASES, THE SPIRIT IS A FULL-BLOWN
APPARITION, CONSISTING OF A MISTY HUMAN-SHAPED PRESENCE
VISIBLE ONE MINUTE THEN GONE THE NEXT.
ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING PARANORMAL APPARITIONS EVER
CAPTURED WAS SHOT ON A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD IN GETTYSBURG,
PENNSYLVANIA. >> WE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT
WE HAD SAW. WE KIND OF FIGURED IT WAS
PARANORMAL. >> narrator: THE UNDERWOOD
FAMILY SHOT THIS AT A PLACE CALLED TRIANGULAR FIELD IN THE
FALL OF 2001. >> THERE'S ANOTHER SPARKLE.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SEEING? >> LOOK AT THAT.
>> LOOKED LIKE SHADOWS OR SOMETHING MOVING ACTUALLY
THROUGH THE TREES AND ON THE FIELD.
>> NO. >> RIGHT THERE, SEE?
>> UH-HUH. >> LOOK.
>> narrator: THEY CLAIM THESE ARE GHOSTS CROSSING THE
BATTLEFIELD. >> THEY WAS ACTUALLY MOVING IN
SO MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. WE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WE
HAD CAPTURED THIS. >> narrator: 8,000 MEN DIED
HERE OVER THREE DAYS IN 1863. THEIR BATTERED BODIES LITTERED
THE FIELDS. >> I REALLY BELIEVE THAT IT WAS
ACTUALLY SOLDIERS AND HORSES COMING UP THE FIELD, ACTUALLY,
FOR A BATTLE. >> narrator: MICHAEL
GOLDSWORTHY, A FORMER POLICE INVESTIGATOR, WILL USE
STATE-OF-THE-ART SOFTWARE TO ENHANCE THIS FOOTAGE.
>> THE OCEAN SYSTEMS DTECTIVE PACKAGE ACTUALLY CLARIFIES VIDEO
AND BRINGS OUT DETAILS THAT YOU NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
SEE. >> narrator: AND MORE DETAIL
COULD PROVIDE NEW CLUES TO PROVE ITS AUTHENTICITY.
THE SEARCH FOR PROOF OF THE PARANORMAL WILL ALSO UTILIZE
AUDIO EVIDENCE. THIS IS THE VOICE OF A GHOST,
ACCORDING TO THIS INVESTIGATOR. IT WAS CAPTURED USING A
TECHNIQUE CALLED ELECTRONIC VOICE PHENOMENON OR EVP.
>> THERE'S ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS. THERE'S VOICES OF LOVED ONES
THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY WITH. >> narrator: AL RAUBER HAS BEEN
INVESTIGATING PARANORMAL ACTIVITY FOR 40 YEARS.
HE SAYS THE EVP METHOD IS SIMPLE.
ASK A QUESTION AND RECORD AND VOICES WILL FILL THE SILENCE
THAT FOLLOWS. >> SOUNDS THAT AREN'T AUDIBLE,
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE RECORDING, BUT WHEN YOU LISTEN
BACK TO THE RECORDING, THERE'S VOICES.
>> narrator: CRITICS SAY THESE VOICES MAY BE COMING FROM RADIO
BROADCASTS OR THAT PEOPLE ARE IMAGINING A VOICE AMID WHITE
NOISE. BUT FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE, IT'S
NOT IMAGINATION IF IT'S ON TAPE. >> MY SON DIED IN 2004.
HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD. AND HEARING FROM HIM IS THE MOST
AMAZING THING I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED.
>> narrator: DEBBIE CARUSO IS A NEW YORK WOMAN WHOSE TEENAGE SON
DIED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MEXICO. SOON AFTER, SHE TRIED USING EVP
TO REACH HIM. >> I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO HEAR
THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THEM AND DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.
>> narrator: SHE USED A SIMPLE PROGRAM ALREADY IN HER LAPTOP
COMPUTER. >> IT TAKES TIME AND TRAINING,
BUT AFTER YOU RECORD FOR A LONG TIME, THE VOICES GET LOUDER, AND
THEY GET STRONGER. AND NOW ANYONE CAN HEAR THEM.
MY SON JOEY LEFT ME THIS MESSAGE ON HIS 20th BIRTHDAY.
IT SAYS "MA, I LOVE YOU." [audio hissing]
>> narrator: TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH DEPARTED LOVED
ONES IS NOTHING NEW. IN THE 19th CENTURY, SEANCES RUN
BY MEDIUMS BECAME A HUGELY POPULAR WAY TO TRY TO REACH THE
DEAD. BUT WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE
CAMERA, GATHERING TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE PARANORMAL NOW
BECAME A SCIENCE. >> I MEAN, IT'S ONE THING FOR
SOMEONE TO START TALKING IN A DIFFERENT VOICE OR ALLEGING
THAT THEY'RE CHANNELING SOMEONE IN THAT WAY, BUT IT'S QUITE
ANOTHER TO SEE SOMETHING TANGIBLE.
>> narrator: EARLY PARANORMAL PHOTOGRAPHS DISPLAYED EVERYTHING
FROM FLOATING HEADS, SHROUDED FIGURES, AND EVEN MEDIUMS
EXUDING PARANORMAL GOO CALLED ECTOPLASM.
WHILE MOST EARLY GHOST PHOTOS WERE FAKES, THIS 1936 PHOTOGRAPH
OF AN APPARITION ON A STAIRCASE IN AN ENGLISH ESTATE IS STILL
TALKED ABOUT TODAY. >> THE BROWN LADY OF RAYNHAM
HALL WAS ARGUABLY THE MOST FAMOUS GHOST PHOTO EVER.
>> narrator: THE HOUSE HAD A REPUTATION FOR BEING HAUNTED.
>> AND WHEN IT WAS DEVELOPED, THEY HAD THIS SORT OF HUMAN
SHAPE. >> narrator: TAKEN OVER 70 YEARS
AGO, THIS PHOTO CONTINUES TO CAUSE CONTROVERSY.
>> PEOPLE HAVE CHECKED OUT THE NEGATIVES, SAID IT'S ON THE
NEGATIVE. SO WHATEVER IT WAS, THEY
ABSOLUTELY GOT A PICTURE OF IT. >> THEY BECOME LEGENDARY FOR
BEING REAL PICTURES OF GHOSTS. AND THAT'S ALL THAT EVER
HAPPENS. YOU RARELY READ ANY TECHNICAL
DETAIL ON ANY OF THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS.
>> narrator: BUT TODAY, THE TECHNICAL DETAIL NEEDED TO
PROPERLY ANALYZE PARANORMAL EVIDENCE EXISTS.
DAVID MANGANELLI IS A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR WITH NEARLY 30
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. >> READY, AL?
>> YEAH. >> narrator: HE AND AL RAUBER
WILL LEAD THE SEARCH FOR NEW EVIDENCE.
THAT SEARCH WILL TAKE PLACE IN FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS, AT
THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE, LOCATION OF THE SENSATIONAL
DOUBLE MURDERS OF LIZZIE'S PARENTS, ANDREW AND ABBY BORDEN.
THEY ARE JUST SOME OF THESE SPIRITS WITNESSES SAY THEY'VE
ENCOUNTERED HERE. >> THE BORDEN CASE IS REALLY
INTERESTING, BECAUSE IT WAS THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY BACK IN
AUGUST OF 1892. >> narrator: ON THE MORNING OF
AUGUST 4th, 1892, ABBY BORDEN WAS UPSTAIRS IN THE GUEST
BEDROOM. THE KILLER ENTERED AND
APPROACHED HER FROM BEHIND, CARRYING AN AX, USING IT TO
STRIKE HER AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL SHE WAS DEAD.
[camera flash] DOWNSTAIRS, ANDREW BORDEN HAD
RETURNED HOME AND LAID DOWN TO TAKE A NAP IN THE PARLOR.
SOMEONE APPROACHED THE ROOM, AX IN HAND.
THE FIRST BLOW STRUCK HIM IN THE HEAD.
HE MAY HAVE AWOKEN TO SEE HIS ATTACKER, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.
AGAIN THE AXE FELL, OVER AND OVER.
LIZZIE WAS THE PRIME SUSPECT BUT WAS ACQUITTED AT A TRIAL
THAT MESMERIZED THE NATION. AND NOW, MORE THAN A CENTURY
LATER, THERE ARE REGULAR REPORTS OF STRANGE HAPPENINGS IN THIS
HOUSE. >> THERE IS A LOT OF VOICES,
FOOTSTEPS, SOUNDS, OBJECTS MOVING, THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> MY FIRST PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE HOUSE HERE WAS NOT LONG
AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED IT IN JUNE OF 2004.
I WENT TO THE BASEMENT. AND I WALKED OFF THE BOTTOM STEP
AND TOOK A STEP FORWARD INTO WHAT FELT LIKE A WALK-IN
FREEZER. I FELT WHAT FELT LIKE TWO
FINGERS BEING RUN DOWN MY BACK. AND I STOPPED DEAD IN MY TRACKS.
>> IT'S POSSIBLE ANDREW AND ABBY BORDEN MIGHT STILL BE
LINGERING, LOOKING FOR SOME KIND OF DIVINE JUSTICE ALL THESE
YEARS LATER. >> narrator: FOR THE
INVESTIGATION, THE HOUSE WILL BE RIGGED WITH SEVEN VIDEO CAMERAS,
ALL FEEDING INTO ONE CENTRAL LOCATION, RECORDING ACTIVITY
ALL NIGHT INTO THE PREDAWN HOURS.
AL RAUBER WILL RECORD AUDIO, LOOKING FOR PARANORMAL VOICES.
AND DAVE MANGANELLI WILL SHOOT WITH A NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART
INFRARED CAMERA NEVER BEFORE USED IN A PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATION. THE EVIDENCE COLLECTED
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING MIGHT PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF SPIRITS
IN THIS HOUSE ONCE AND FOR ALL. >> both: ♪ LIZZIE BORDEN ♪
♪ TOOK AN AX ♪ ♪ AND GAVE HER MOTHER ♪
♪ 40 WHACKS ♪ >> OKAY, STOP IT NOW.
WHOA. MAYBE BACK IT--
WHY WOULD THIS BE SO DARK? >> narrator: WHILE PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATORS SPECIFICALLY TRIED TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF
GHOSTS, SOMETIMES THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE IS CAPTURED
BY ACCIDENT, BY ORDINARY PEOPLE SHOOTING HOME VIDEO.
>> EVERY NOW AND THEN, EVERY FEW YEARS, SOME PIECE OF FOOTAGE
MAKES THE NEWS, LIKE THE KID WHO CAPTURED SOMETHING AT THE
VATICAN IN ROME. >> narrator: THIS VIDEO WAS
TAKEN IN 2006 INSIDE ST. PETER'S BASILICA BY A TOURIST FROM
VANCOUVER, AND IT TURNED UP IN A CANADIAN NEWSCAST.
>> WATCH THIS VACATION HOME VIDEO CLOSELY AND CAREFULLY.
DID YOU SEE IT? >> RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TOMB
HERE, IT'S ALL CLEAR. AND THERE WILL BE A GHOST COMING
UP. >> YOU HEARD CORRECTLY.
HE SAID GHOST. >> narrator: IT SHOWS A STRANGE
ROBED FIGURE HOVERING IN THE AIR.
VIDEOTAPE EDITOR SHANE DEBRASIO EXAMINED THE FOOTAGE FRAME BY
FRAME. >> IT'S DEFINITELY CLEAR IN THIS
FRAME BY THE--REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT SHOWS US THAT THIS JACKET
IS BEING SUPPORTED BY A STICK. THERE'S A STICK RIGHT THERE.
>> narrator: TOUR GUIDES OFTEN DRAPE JACKETS OR SCARVES ON LONG
STICKS TO KEEP THEMSELVES VISIBLE TO THEIR TOUR GROUPS.
SO THE FAMED VATICAN GHOST ISN'T A SPIRIT AT ALL BUT JUST A
MARKER IN A CROWDED TOURIST DESTINATION.
A GAS STATION IN PARMA, OHIO, WAS THE LOCATION OF ANOTHER
ACCIDENTAL GHOST-LIKE APPARITION CAUGHT ON TAPE.
IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT IN 2007, APPEARING ON VIDEO FROM ONE OF
THE STATION'S SECURITY CAMERAS. >> I HONESTLY THOUGHT IT
MIGHT BE A PIECE OF DIRT WHEN I FIRST SEEN IT.
>> narrator: BUT OTHERS CALL THE BLUE FIGURE A GHOST.
IT HOVERS THEN MOVES AROUND THE SCREEN.
>> SEE IT COMING? I SEEN IT ACTUALLY FLYING IN TO
THE CAMERA SYSTEM AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES AND
THEN MOVED FROM THE STANDING POSITION TO THE BOTTOM OF THE
SCREEN. >> IT MOVES UP AND DOWN AND LEFT
AND RIGHT, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY TIME OF SET PATTERN TO IT.
>> narrator: MIKE HAMED, PRESIDENT OF AUTOMATED
SURVEILLANCE, INSTALLED THE SECURITY CAMERAS AT THE STATION
IN 2006. THE CAMERAS ARE INFRARED.
>> INFRARED TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS THE CAMERA TO SEE IN PITCH BLACK
CONDITIONS, WHICH HUMANS CANNOT SEE WITH THE NAKED EYE.
>> narrator: MIKE HAMED WILL CONSTRUCT AN EXPERIMENT TO SEE
IF HE CAN MANIPULATE THE IMAGE TO RECREATE THE PHENOMENA
HIMSELF. WHY WOULD THERE BE GHOSTS AT
THIS SITE? SOME HAVE SPECULATED THAT THE
STATION MIGHT BE BUILT ON A NATIVE AMERICAN BURIAL GROUND.
BUT A TOWN HISTORIAN SAYS NO ONE HAS EVER FOUND ONE.
>> AND THE RECORDS HAVE SHOWN THAT FOR 150 YEARS PRIOR TO
SETTLERS COMING--AND THAT WAS IN 1816 THAT THE FIRST SETTLERS
CAME--THERE WERE NO INDIANS LIVING IN THIS AREA.
THEY MAY HAVE AT ONE TIME. MOST OF THEM HAD BEEN RUN OUT
AND RUN OFF AND KILLED AND THE LIKE.
>> narrator: COULD THERE BE ANOTHER EXPLANATION?
ARE THOSE WHO SEE GHOSTS MERELY SEEING WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE?
>> OUR SENSORY APPARATUS IS CERTAINLY QUITE FALLIBLE AND,
YOU KNOW, QUITE READILY INFLUENCED BY WHAT WE BELIEVE,
WHAT WE EXPECT. >> narrator: PROFESSOR MICHAEL
LYONS HAS STUDIED THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND PARANORMAL BELIEFS.
>> I THINK SOME PEOPLE JUST ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
AND OTHER OUTLETS IN OUR SOCIETY MAY NOT AS READILY PROVIDE
THOSE KINDS OF ANSWERS. PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE ANXIOUS
TEND TO BELIEVE IN THE PARANORMAL, PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE
AFRAID OF DYING. ANOTHER TRAIT ASSOCIATED WITH
BELIEF IN THE PARANORMAL IS INTOLERANCE OF AMBIGUITY.
THAT IS, PEOPLE WHO NEED ANSWERS MORE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE THE
PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE PARANORMAL.
>> narrator: AT THE BORDEN HOUSE IN MASSACHUSETTS, THE SEARCH FOR
NEW EVIDENCE IS BEGINNING. AL RAUBER AND DAVE MANGANELLI
ARRIVE EARLY TO PREPARE FOR THE NIGHT AHEAD.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY HAS BEEN REPORTED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE:
IN THE BASEMENT, ON THE SECOND FLOOR, AND MORE RECENTLY, ON THE
THIRD FLOOR IN THE MAID'S ROOM AND DOWN THE HALL, WHERE A
CARETAKER LIVED IN THE 1990s. RECENTLY, THERE'S BEEN A SURGE
OF ACTIVITY IN THAT ROOM. >> THE FIRST TIME I COULD
ACTUALLY FEEL AN UNSEEN HAND ON ME, THAT'S WHEN IT WAS ENOUGH
FOR ME. >> narrator: TIM WEISBERG HAD
HIS VERY FIRST PHYSICAL ENCOUNTER WITH A HAUNTING SPIRIT
IN THE CHIMNEY ROOM. >> MY LEGS, WHICH WERE DRAPED
OVER THE SIDE OF THE BED HERE, JUST STARTED PICKING UP ON
THEIR OWN, AND I COULD FEEL THE HANDS ENVELOPING AROUND MY
ANKLES. AND THAT'S WHEN I SAID, "OKAY,
WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THE WIND.
THAT'S NOT ANYTHING ELSE. THAT'S DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING PICKING IT UP AND PULLING."
>> narrator: IN AUGUST, 2007, MATT MONIZ AND HIS
GHOST-HUNTING GROUP WERE VIDEOTAPING IN THE SAME ROOM
WHEN ONE OF THEIR CAMERAS MOVED BY ITSELF.
>> THE CAMERA TURNED AT ROUGHLY A 45-DEGREE ANGLE.
NOW, WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEBODY HAD
KICKED THE WIRING TO THE CAMERA. SHE RESET THE CAMERA BACK TO ITS
ORIGINAL POSITION. SHE PHYSICALLY WATCHED AND
HEARD THE CAMERA PICK UP AND TURN TO FOCUS DIRECTLY BACK AT
HER WITH NOBODY ELSE NEAR IT. >> IT DID IT AGAIN!
>> I HEARD THAT THIS TIME. >> WE HEARD IT.
I WAS RIGHT HERE. >> I HEARD IT.
>> narrator: DAVE WILL SPEND SOME TIME EXPLORING THE CHIMNEY
ROOM WITH THE FLIR THERMAL CAMERA.
IT IS THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION HANDHELD INFRARED THERMAL CAMERA
EVER MADE. >> SO THIS IS THE SOFA ON WHICH
ANDREW WAS KILLED. >> narrator: THE CAMERA IS
NORMALLY USED BY INDUSTRY AND MILITARY TO SEE HEAT ENERGY
INVISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE. >> 'CAUSE WE CAN'T SEE IN THE
INFRARED, BUT THE CAMERA CAN. SO IF IT'S GIVING OFF HEAT, THE
CAMERA WILL SPOT IT. NOW, THAT CAN'T BE NO HELP.
IT'S NOTHING PARANORMAL. >> narrator: ROBERT MADDING
HEADS TRAINING FOR FLIR SYSTEMS, MANUFACTURER OF THE
CAMERA. THIS MODEL, THE MOST SENSITIVE
OF FLIR CAMERAS, IS BEING USED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN A
PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION. >> SO FOR PEOPLE THAT
THAT BELIEVE THAT GHOSTS HAVE SUBSTANCE, AND IF THAT SUBSTANCE
HAS A TEMPERATURE TO IT, THEN THE CAMERA HAS A POSSIBILITY OF
PICKING IT UP. >> PEOPLE REPORT BEING TOUCHED.
PEOPLE REPORT HEARING VOICES THAT THEY CAN'T TRACE A SOURCE
TO. AND THEN, OF COURSE, SEEING
THINGS, WHICH IS THE MOST RARE. >> narrator: ACCORDING TO
ACCOUNTS, LIZZIE BORDEN'S MURDERED PARENTS ARE NOT THE
ONLY GHOSTS HERE. >> IT'S BELIEVED THAT THE THIRD
FLOOR IS HAUNTED BY THE SPIRITS OF TWO CHILDREN.
>> narrator: TOWN HISTORY REVEALS THAT IN 1848, IN THE
HOUSE NEXT DOOR, ANOTHER DOUBLE MURDER TOOK PLACE IN ANOTHER
BORDEN FAMILY. THE MOTHER OF THE FAMILY KILLED
HER TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BASEMENT OF THE HOUSE.
>> THEY WERE DROWNED IN A CISTERN ON THE BORDEN PROPERTY.
AND TODAY THEY'RE BELIEVED TO POSSIBLY BE HAUNTING THIS HOUSE
ON OCCASION. >> ANOTHER SPIRIT THAT SEEMS TO
BE INHABITING OUR THIRD FLOOR IS THAT OF MICHAEL.
MICHAEL IS A FORMER CARETAKER OF THE HOUSE, AND HE WORKED FOR THE
FORMER OWNER. AND NOT LONG AFTER HE MOVED OUT,
IT'S SAID THAT HE DIED IN A FIRE OUT IN CONNECTICUT.
HE FELL ASLEEP SMOKING. >> narrator: SO FIVE VIOLENT
DEATHS. ARE THERE FIVE SOULS HAUNTING
THIS HOUSE? CAN PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS AL
RAUBER AND DAVID MANGANELLI GET THE EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT?
>> YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO THIS. I-I--YOU TELL ME WHAT
IT'S SAYING. >> narrator: THE LIZZIE BORDEN
HOUSE HAS BEEN A HOTBED OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY EVER SINCE
LIZZIE'S PARENTS WERE MURDERED THERE.
THE INVESTIGATION FOR NEW EVIDENCE IS TARGETING SEVERAL
KEY AREAS IN THE BUILDING: IN THE BASEMENT, ON THE SECOND
FLOOR, WHERE THE FAMILY'S MAIN BEDROOMS ARE LOCATED, AND ON THE
THIRD FLOOR, THE CHIMNEY ROOM, WHERE A CARETAKER LIVED, AND IN
THE MAID'S ROOM DOWN THE HALL. >> WELL, THIS IS BRIGITTE
SULLIVAN'S ROOM, THE BORDEN'S MAID AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER.
AND I HAD AN INCIDENT ONE NIGHT. I WAS ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
I CAME UP HERE TO SLEEP. AND WHEN I WOKE UP IN THE
MORNING, THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THAT THE LITTLE
ROCKING CHAIR THAT SITS TO THE LEFT OF BRIGITTE'S BED HERE HAD
MOVED AROUND TO HERE AND WAS FACING ME LIKE SOMEBODY WAS
WATCHING ME SLEEP. >> narrator: THE BORDEN
RESIDENCE IS UNUSUAL IN THAT ALL THE ROOMS ON THE SECOND FLOOR
ARE CONNECTED WITHOUT ESSENTIAL HALLWAY, SO ANDREW BORDEN'S
ROOM LEADS DIRECTLY INTO HIS DAUGHTER LIZZIE'S ROOM.
>> WELL, CERTAINLY, SINCE THIS IS THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE,
I'D LIKE TO PUT A CAMERA IN HERE AND KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS
AS WE INVESTIGATE. >> OKAY.
>> narrator: OUTSIDE LIZZIE'S ROOM IS THE JOHN MORSE ROOM,
NAMED AFTER ABBY BORDEN'S BROTHER.
>> THIS IS ALSO THE ROOM WHERE MRS. BORDEN'S BODY WAS
DISCOVERED. AND MRS. BORDEN RECEIVED 19
HITS WITH WHAT WAS BELIEVED TO BE A HATCHET.
>> OUCH. AND WHERE WAS THAT BODY
EXACTLY? >> HER BODY WAS FOUND RIGHT HERE
BETWEEN THE BED AND THE DRESSER. >> narrator: AL RAUBER PLANS A
VARIETY OF EXPERIMENTS. FIRST, HE'LL USE TWO RECORDERS
IN AN ATTEMPT TO HEAR VOICES OF THE DEAD THAT ARE SAID TO HAUNT
THIS HOUSE. THE RECORDERS ARE VERY BASIC
MODELS, AND THAT'S ON PURPOSE. >> MORE SOPHISTICATED RECORDING
DEVICES, THE WAY THE MICROPHONE IS BUILT, IT HAS TOO MANY
FILTERS IN IT, AND IT FILTERS OUT A LOT OF THE VOICES BEFORE
THEY COME IN. >> THE FINER THE DESIGN, THE
LESS IT'S GOING TO ALLOW OUTSIDE-OF-THE-BOX TYPE OF STUFF
GETTING IN TO IT. >> narrator: TOM OWEN IS A VOICE
RECOGNITION EXPERT. HE WAS THE FIRST TO AUTHENTICATE
OSAMA BIN LADEN'S VOICE WHEN A RECORDING SURFACED IN 2002.
OWEN IS AN EVP SKEPTIC. >> THE BOTTOM LINE IS I ONLY
MAKE OF IT WHAT I CAN PROVE SCIENTIFICALLY.
>> narrator: OWEN WILL BE ANALYZING ANY EVP VOICES AL
RAUBER IS ABLE TO RECORD. >> IF SOMEBODY BRINGS ME A
RECORDING, AND I CAN RUN THE MULTISPEECH TEST, THE ORAL AND
VISUAL CUES APPEAR, THEN I CAN STATE WITH SOME CERTAINTY THAT
THAT'S THE RECORDING BY HUMAN VOICE.
WHETHER IT'S FROM THE OTHER SIDE OR NOT, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY
DOESN'T MATTER. IT EITHER IS A RECORDING, IN MY
OPINION, OF A HUMAN VOICE, OR IT'S NOT.
>> narrator: RAUBER ALSO WANTS TO LOOK FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC
FIELDS. >> REMEMBER, FOR THESE THINGS TO
MANIFEST, THEY NEED ENERGY. >> narrator: MONITORING
TEMPERATURE WILL BE IMPORTANT AS WELL.
THOSE WHO'VE SEEN GHOSTS HERE SOMETIMES FEEL A SHARP DROP IN
TEMPERATURE. >> I HAVE SOME REMOTE
THERMISTORS, TEMPERATURE-SENSING DEVICES, SET THREE UP IN
ONE ROOM. THE OTHER ROOM THAT PEOPLE
CLAIM IS ALWAYS VERY COLD IS THE MORSE ROOM, WHERE ABBY WAS
MURDERED. >> narrator: DAVE MANGANELLI IS
IN CHARGE OF GATHERING VIDEO FOOTAGE.
HE'S GOT TWO ROVING CAMERAS AND LOCKED DOWN CAMERAS IN
FOUR LOCATIONS: THE MAID'S ROOM, LIZZIE'S ROOM, THE MORSE
ROOM, WHERE ABBY BORDEN'S BODY WAS FOUND, AND THE BASEMENT.
THOSE CAMERAS FEED THEIR SIGNALS TO A CONTROL ROOM SET UP IN THE
BORDEN DINING ROOM. FROM THERE, AL AND DAVE CAN
MONITOR EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON.
BACK AT THE GAS STATION IN PARMA, OHIO, THE INVESTIGATION
OF THE BLUE FIGURE CAPTURED ON AN INFRARED SECURITY CAMERA
CONTINUES. SECURITY CAMERA EXPERT MIKE
HAMED NOW HAS A STRATEGY. >> THOSE VIDEOS ARE UNIQUE
SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.
WE WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO WALK UP TO THE CAMERA AND DANGLE
PERHAPS SMALL ITEMS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA IN ORDER TO SEE IF WE
CAN GET THOSE INFRARED BEAMS TO REFLECT AND SEE IF WE CAN GET
TRANSPARENCY THROUGH AN OBJECT. >> narrator: HAMED SPECULATES
THAT A BUG MAY HAVE CREATED THE BLUE GHOST IMAGE.
>> WE'VE GOT THREE DIFFERENT BUGS OF THREE DIFFERENT SIZES,
AND WE'VE GOT SOME DIFFERENT COLORS TO TRY OUT.
AND WE'RE GONNA USE THESE TWEEZERS TO HOLD THESE BUGS AS
CLOSE TO THE LENS AS POSSIBLE. >> narrator: HAMED CLIMBS 15
FEET TO REACH THE CAMERA. ITS INFRARED TECHNOLOGY HELPS IT
SEE AT NIGHT. BUT WHEN THESE PLASTIC BUGS ARE
PLACED ON THE LENS, NO MATTER WHAT COLOR THEY ARE, THEY ALL
READ BLUE ON THE MONITOR. >> IT'S RIGHT ON THE LENS.
>> narrator: BUT WHAT HAMED WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE WAS THE
FLUID MOVEMENTS AND THE TRANSPARENCY OF THE ORIGINAL
BLUE FIGURE. >> WE'VE TRIED ALL THREE OF
THESE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE LENS.
AND THIS ONE RIGHT HERE CAME CLOSEST TO DUPLICATING YOUR
GHOST, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT WAS NOT AN EXACT COPY OR AN
EXACT MATCH, SO IT'S STILL AN UNEXPLAINED MYSTERY.
>> narrator: AT THE BORDEN HOUSE, DAVE MANGANELLI SETS UP
AN EXPERIMENT IN THE MAID'S ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
>> SO IN THIS ROOM, WE HAD OUR STORY OF THE CHAIR THAT MOVED ON
ITS OWN. SO I THINK I'M GONNA ELECT TO
USE THIS CAMERA, TETHER IT TO THE LAPTOP, SO I CAN SEE SOME OF
THE VIDEO OUTPUT, FOCUS IT ON THE CHAIR, AND LET IT RUN FOR A
WHILE. ALL RIGHT, SO THE CAMERA'S ON,
AND THE PROGRAM HAS RECOGNIZED IT.
SO I'LL JUST PULL UP A LITTLE VIDEO PREVIEW WINDOW.
I'M JUST GONNA PUT A COUPLE OF MARKERS THAT FALL RIGHT UNDER
THE--RIGHT WHERE THE SLATS OF THE BASE ARE HERE.
AND WE CAN CHECK THAT LATER ON AND SEE IF ANYTHING HAS MOVED AT
ALL. WE'LL JUST LET THIS RUN
UNATTENDED FOR A WHILE. >> narrator: RAUBER AND
MANGANELLI ARE MONITORING ALL THE AREAS WHERE WITNESSES HAVE
REPORTED PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. IT'S NEARLY 11:00 P.M., BUT
THE NIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN. >> YOU GOT TO HEAR THIS.
>> narrator: 11:30 P.M. AT THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE IN FALL
RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS, AL RAUBER IS RECORDING FOR
PARANORMAL VOICES. >> WE'LL JUST DO A WALK-THROUGH
OF THE HOUSE, ROOM-TO-ROOM, WHERE THE ACTIVITIES SEEM TO BE
MORE OFTEN OCCURRING, INTO LIZZIE'S ROOM.
I BELIEVE WE'LL GET SOME VOICES IN THIS ROOM IF ANYBODY'S IN
THIS ROOM. THIS IS, AGAIN, ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY TO SCIENTIFICALLY PROVE YOUR EXISTENCE.
NOW COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY TO THE CHIMNEY ROOM.
WE'VE HAD MANY REPORTS OF THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS PARTICULAR
ROOM. IF ANYONE IS IN THIS ROOM--IF
THE GENTLEMAN THAT THEY REFER TO AS MICHAEL--IF YOU ARE STILL
HERE, PLEASE LEAVE US A MESSAGE ON THIS TAPE RECORDER.
YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT. YOU CAN DO IT.
>> narrator: THE CHIMNEY ROOM WAS WHERE MATT MONIZ AND HIS
GHOST-HUNTING GROUP WITNESSED ONE OF THEIR CAMERAS MOVING ON
ITS OWN. AL RAUBER AND DAVE MANGANELLI
SAT DOWN TO ANALYZE THE VIDEO THEMSELVES.
>> SO IT'S NOT-- >> I THINK THERE WAS A FEW
NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM. >> YEAH, THERE'S A GOOD NUMBER
OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM. SO IT'S NOT UNATTENDED.
>> THERE IT IS. >> OKAY, THE CAMERA MOVES.
OKAY, SO SOMEONE IS AT THE CAMERA.
AND THEY'RE RESETTING IT. >> TRYING TO RESET IT.
>> IS THAT GOOD? >> THEY SAID THERE'S A WIRE ON
THE CAMERA. >> [laughing]
>> I'M STEPPING ON THE WIRE NOW. IS ANYTHING HAPPENING?
>> AHH, THERE IT GOES AGAIN. >> IT DID IT AGAIN.
>> I JUST SAID THAT. >> IT JUST MOVED AGAIN.
>> WE HEARD IT. >> I WAS RIGHT HERE.
>> I MEAN, BOTH TIMES IT MOVED THERE WAS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE
ROOM. DO WE WANT TO PUT A CAMERA IN
THE EXACT SAME SPOT AND MAKE SURE IT'S ANCHORED?
>> WE CAN TRY THAT, SURE. SO THIS IS OUR CORNER WHERE WE
HAD THE REPORT OF THE CAMERA MOVING ON ITS OWN.
I'M CERTAIN THE BACK OF IT PIVOTS PRETTY EASILY.
ALL RIGHT, I'M REASONABLY CONFIDENT IF WE DON'T STOMP OUT
OF THE ROOM THAT THE CAMERA WILL STAY THERE.
[thunder booming] [clock chiming]
>> narrator: MIDNIGHT. ROBERT TAKES DOWN THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE TWO ROOMS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR
EVERY 10 TO 15 MINUTES. [thermostat beeping]
NOTHING UNUSUAL YET. DAVE MANGANELLI RETURNS TO THE
ROOM WHERE THE ROCKING CHAIR MOVED.
>> BUT OUR CHAIR HASN'T MOVED. STILL RIGHT ON THE TAPE MARKS.
>> narrator: 1:00 A.M. >> OKAY, YOU GOT TO HEAR THIS.
>> narrator: DOWNSTAIRS AT THE MAIN CONTROL AREA, RAUBER IS
ANALYZING THE FIRST EVPs OF THE NIGHT.
>> AND AS SOON AS I SAY THE WORD MESSAGE, YOU HEAR "SURE."
GIVE US A MESSAGE. >> SURE.
>> GIVE US A MESSAGE. >> SURE.
>> READY? GIVE US A MESSAGE.
>> SURE. >> narrator: THIS EVP WAS TAKEN
IN THE CHIMNEY ROOM. >> GIVE US A MESSAGE.
>> SURE. >> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UP
THERE WAS SAYING THAT. >> narrator: THE CHIMNEY ROOM
SEEMS TO BE PROVIDING THE BEST EVIDENCE FOR ANALYSIS SO FAR.
>> GIVE US A MESSAGE. >> SURE.
>> narrator: THE CAMERAS ARE CONTINUING TO ROLL THROUGHOUT
THE HOUSE, INCLUDING IN LIZZIE'S ROOM.
RAUBER BELIEVES AN AUDIO RECORDING SESSION COULD PICK UP
THE VOICE OF LIZZIE BORDEN HERSELF.
[indistinct speech] 2:00 A.M.
TO MAKE SURE NO EXTRANEOUS SOUNDS ARE PICKED UP, THE ENTIRE<i>
MONSTER QUEST</i> TEAM AND OWNER LEE-ANNE WILBER ARE GATHERED IN
LIZZIE BORDEN'S ROOM. RAUBER WILL RECORD ON HIS TWO
SEPARATE AUDIO DEVICES. >> WE'RE IN THE LIZZIE BORDEN
ROOM OF THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE. SO THIS IS THE ACTUAL BEDROOM,
WHERE LIZZIE--NOT ONLY DID SHE SLEEP HERE, BUT WE EVEN STILL
HAVE SOME OF HER POSSESSIONS IN THIS ROOM IN A LOCKED
CABINET. >> narrator: RAUBER BEGINS THE
QUESTIONING. >> LIZZIE, WHY DID YOU KILL YOUR
FATHER? LIZZIE, WHO MADE THE MIRROR
MOVE, THE MIRROR RIGHT BEHIND ME?
>> narrator: DURING RAUBER'S LAST VISIT TO THE BORDEN HOUSE,
THE MIRROR IN THE HUTCH BEHIND HIM MOVED WHEN HE ASKED A
QUESTION ABOUT ABBY BORDEN. [thermostat beeping]
RAUBER WILL ANALYZE THE RECORDING IN THE MAIN CONTROL
ROOM. 3:00 A.M.
DAVE MANGANELLI REVIEWS FOOTAGE FROM THE CHIMNEY ROOM.
>> THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE FIRST TAPE THAT WE DID IN THE CHIMNEY
ROOM TO TEST AND SEE IF THE CAMERA WOULD MOVE.
SO WE'LL JUST TAKE A QUICK LOOK. OKAY, 10 OR 11 MINUTES IN, IT
HASN'T MOVED. ALMOST 20 MINUTES IN, SAME
FRAMING. SO NO MOVEMENT THERE.
AGAIN, JUST KIND OF SPOT CHECKING TO SEE IF ANYTHING
UNUSUAL HAPPENED. AND 50 MINUTES IN, WE HAVEN'T
MOVED. PEOPLE REENTERING THE ROOM.
SO NOTHING. GOOD SOLID PICTURE.
>> narrator: MANGANELLI NOW DECIDES TO SHOOT WITH THE FLIR
THERMAL CAMERA, WHICH CAN SEE HEAT ENERGY NORMALLY INVISIBLE
TO THE HUMAN EYE, INCLUDING TEMPERATURE SHIFTS AS SMALL AS
1/600 OF A DEGREE. >> WITH A REALLY GOOD INFRARED
CAMERA LIKE THIS, WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOME INTERESTING
IMAGES. >> narrator: AND BACK IN THE
CHIMNEY ROOM, THERE IS SOMETHING VERY ODD AND UNEXPLAINABLE.
>> AND THERE'S THE CHEST ON WHICH THE OTHER GROUP'S CAMERA
SUPPOSEDLY MOVED. >> narrator: THE BOTTOM OF THE
TOY CHEST APPEARS TO BE GLOWING AS IF IT WERE BLAZING HOT.
>> YEAH, DEFINITELY WARMER AT THE BOTTOM.
I'D LIKE TO GO--WE'LL SEE IF IT'S AS WARM AS IT LOOKS.
>> narrator: THE TOP OF THE TOY CHEST AND THE FLOOR ARE A MUCH
COOLER TEMPERATURE. >> IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T FEEL
PARTICULARLY WARM. INTERESTING.
'CAUSE I MEAN THE TOP IS DEFINITELY COOLER, SO THE OBJECT
ITSELF--SO THE TOP OF THAT--IT DOES HAVE ITS COOL SPOTS.
>> narrator: FOOTAGE OF THE CHEST WILL BE MARKED FOR SPECIAL
ANALYSIS. AS THE BORDEN HOUSE
INVESTIGATORS REVIEW THEIR EVIDENCE, MICHAEL GOLDSWORTHY
HAS COMPLETED HIS WORK ON THE EXISTING EVIDENCE OF THE
ALLEGED GETTYSBURG GHOSTS. IT SHOWS FAINT WHITE FIGURES
MOVING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, FROM THE GROUND THEN HIGHER UP INTO
THE TREES. IT WAS SHOT IN 2001 BY THE
UNDERWOOD FAMILY AT TRIANGULAR FIELD IN GETTYSBURG,
PENNSYLVANIA. >> RIGHT THERE.
SEE? >> UH-HUH.
>> LOOK. >> THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
>> narrator: TO ENHANCE AND STUDY THE VIDEO, MIKE USED
SOFTWARE CALLED DTECTIVE. >> WE JUST TELL THE COMPUTER TO
AVERAGE UP TO 100 FRAMES. SHARPEN IT A LITTLE BIT.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IT STRAIGHTENS OUT THE PICTURE
QUITE WELL. SO WE'VE GONE FROM A VERY FUZZY
SPARKLY TYPE PICTURE THAT DOESN'T GIVE A LOT OF DETAIL TO
THIS, WHERE NOW YOU CAN MAKE THIS ROCK OUT MUCH BETTER.
SO THEN ONCE IT'S BEEN ENHANCED, AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THE
IMAGE BASICALLY MOVES ACROSS. >> narrator: COULD THE FIGURES
JUST BE OTHER TOURISTS ON THE FIELD?
>> NOW, I DO ADMIT THERE WERE PEOPLE BEHIND US, PEOPLE JUST
WALKING AROUND ENJOYING GETTYSBURG JUST LIKE WE DO.
BUT AS FAR AS IN FRONT OF US, THERE WAS NOBODY THERE.
>> narrator: THIS IS THE FIELD AS IT LOOKS TODAY IN THE
DIRECTION THE UNDERWOODS WERE SHOOTING.
IT IS RELATIVELY FLAT, YET THE FIGURES IN THEIR VIDEO SEEM
ELEVATED WELL ABOVE THE GROUND. FOR GOLDSWORTHY, THE REPETITION
OF THE FIGURES THEMSELVES WAS A BIGGER CONCERN.
>> SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN THE PICTURE, SOME OBJECT, THAT'S
MOVING ACROSS THE IMAGE. AND IT ACTUALLY DOES IT SEVERAL
TIMES. SO WHAT I DID IS COMBINED THREE
DIFFERENT SHOTS FROM DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE VIDEO TO SHOW
WHAT I THEN BEGAN PICKING UP AS A REPETITIVE NATURE.
>> narrator: HE DOUBTS THIS EXISTING EVIDENCE IS A
PARANORMAL APPARITION CAUGHT ON TAPE.
>> BECAUSE OF THE ALMOST-PERFECT REPETITION, IT'S ALMOST AS IF
SOMEONE IS LOOPING EITHER A VIDEO OR A PROJECTION.
SO AS FAR AS CREATING THIS--IF YOU WERE TO DO THIS IN THE
FIELD, I WOULD SAY THAT YOU WOULD USE A CLEAR PIECE OF
LEXAN, A CLEAR PIECE OF GLASS, AND REFLECT AN IMAGE OFF OF IT.
>> narrator: BUT TOM UNDERWOOD STANDS BY ITS AUTHENTICITY.
>> AND IF I DID ALL THIS IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY--I MEAN, I
THINK I WOULD HAVE DREW A LOT OF ATTENTION.
AND I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE CAME OVER AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT I WAS DOING. IT IS THE REAL THING.
>> narrator: THE BORDEN HOUSE INVESTIGATION HAS PRODUCED
NEARLY 50 HOURS OF NEW VIDEO EVIDENCE FROM SEVEN CAMERAS.
NEXT, EACH TAPE WILL BE EXAMINED IN REAL TIME, WATCHING AND
LISTENING FOR ANY PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
>> WE'RE PANNING AROUND. THERE'S A PER--WHOA.
WHAT WAS THAT? CAN YOU BACK THAT UP?
>> narrator: ARE THERE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD AMONG US?
AND DOES THIS AUDIO AND VIDEO EVIDENCE PROVE IT?
THIS COUPLE SAYS THEY WATCHED GHOSTS CROSSING THE CIVIL WAR
BATTLEFIELD. >> LOOKED LIKE SHADOWS OR
SOMETHING MOVING ACTUALLY THROUGH THE TREES AND ON
THE FIELD. >> narrator: THIS MAN SAYS
SOMETHING UNSEEN MOVED HIS CAMERA IN THE LIZZIE
BORDEN HOUSE. >> IT DID IT AGAIN.
>> CAMERA TURNED AT ROUGHLY A 45-DEGREE ANGLE.
>> narrator: OF THE EXISTING EVIDENCE, OUR INVESTIGATIONS
SHOWED THE VATICAN GHOST WAS NOT A GHOST AT ALL BUT A JACKET OR
A SCARF SUSPENDED BY A LONG STICK.
THIS BLUE APPARITION MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BUG, BUT MIKE HAMED
COULD NOT BE SURE. >> AND THIS ONE CAME CLOSEST TO
THE RE-CREATION. >> narrator: AND THIS EXPERT WAS
SKEPTICAL OF THE GETTYSBURG GHOST BUT COULD NOT RULE OUT THE
PARANORMAL. >> IT IS THE REAL THING.
AND IT'S--IT'S NOT--IT'S NOT A HOAX OR ANYTHING.
>> narrator: AS FOR THE NEW EVIDENCE, MORE THAN 50 HOURS OF
VIDEO FROM THE LIZZIE BORDEN HOUSE HAVE NOW BEEN ANALYZED
BY THE<i> MONSTER QUEST</i> INVESTIGATORS.
CAMERAS WERE LOCKED DOWN IN THE BASEMENT, IN LIZZIE BORDEN'S
ROOM, IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR WHERE HER STEPMOTHER WAS KILLED,
IN THE MAID'S ROOM WHERE THE CHAIR MOVED, AND IN THE ROOM
WHERE A CAMERA WAS ONCE REPORTED TO HAVE MOVED BY
ITSELF. THE HOURS PASSED.
THE TAPE ROLLED ON, BUT NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY
SEEMED TO HAPPEN. THE CONVENTIONAL CAMERA SAW
NOTHING ABNORMAL. BUT THE FLIR CAMERA DID PICK UP
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY. IT SEES HEAT ENERGY AND A SHIFT
IN TEMPERATURE INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE.
YELLOW REPRESENTS A HIGHER TEMPERATURE, WHILE DARKER
COLORS REPRESENT COLD. >> HERE'S THE TOY CHEST AGAIN.
AND IF WE CAN STOP RIGHT ABOUT THERE.
>> narrator: THIS IS THE INVESTIGATION FOOTAGE THAT
SHOWED THE BOTTOM OF THE CHEST WAS GLOWING AND HOT, BUT THE
FLOOR BENEATH IT WAS COLD TO THE TOUCH.
THERMAL CAMERA EXPERT ROBERT MADDING ANALYZED THIS FOOTAGE.
>> WE'RE SEEING THIS LITTLE SEAM AT THE BOTTOM, WHICH HAS A BRASS
PLATE OR STRIP ACROSS HERE, SO NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT IS.
COULD BE REFLECTION OF HEAT FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE STANDING IN THE
BACKGROUND. NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THAT IS.
>> narrator: IT REMAINS A MYSTERY.
NEXT UP, THE MAID'S ROOM WHERE THERE WAS A REPORT OF THE MOVING
ROCKING CHAIR. >> OKAY, STOP IT NOW.
WHOA, MAYBE BACK IT--WHY WOULD THIS BE SO DARK?
ONE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT--IS THERE MISSING INSULATION
HERE OR SOME OTHER THERMAL PROBLEM, BECAUSE THIS WALL IS SO
MUCH DARKER THAN THIS ONE. >> narrator: IT MAY SIMPLY BE A
CONSTRUCTION DEFECT. SO WHILE THE VIDEO EVIDENCE WAS
INCONCLUSIVE, THERE WAS A LOT MORE GOING ON WITH THE AUDIO
EVIDENCE. >> WE CAPTURED A LOT OF VOICES.
WE CAUGHT EVP IN FOUR OF THE ROOMS: THE BASEMENT, LIZZIE
BORDEN'S ROOM. WE CAUGHT IT IN THE CHIMNEY
ROOM, AND WE ALSO CAUGHT VOICES--I ALSO CAUGHT VOICES IN
THE MORSE ROOM. NOW, COMING DOWN THE HALLWAY TO
THE CHIMNEY ROOM. AT ONE POINT IN THE CHIMNEY
ROOM, I WAS ASKING THE SPIRIT THAT WE WERE TOLD RESIDES THERE
IF HE WOULD TALK TO US AND GIVE US SOME INFORMATION.
AND A VOICE COMES ON SAYING, "SURE."
GIVE US A MESSAGE. >> SURE.
>> GIVE US A MESSAGE. >> SURE.
SURE. SURE.
SURE. >> narrator: VOICE RECOGNITION
EXPERT TOM OWEN ANALYZED THE AUDIO EVIDENCE.
>> I'LL SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. CAN'T MAKE MUCH OF THAT.
WE'RE JUST SEEING TOTAL NOISE. LET ME SEE WHAT THE--YEAH.
PITCH IS--THERE'S NO PITCH TO IT AT ALL.
>> narrator: WHILE THIS CLIP IS NOT PROVIDING OWEN ENOUGH DATA
TO ANALYZE FULLY, THERE'S ANOTHER EVP THAT IS, THIS TIME
CAPTURED IN THE LIZZIE BORDEN ROOM.
>> AND WHEN WE FINISHED OUR TAPING SESSION, I MEAN, WE
PRETTY MUCH HAD SIGNED OFF. AND THERE'S SOME SMALL TALK
GOING ON. AND A VOICE COMES ON THE TAPE.
IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE TAPE RECORDER.
AND THE VOICE IS SAYING "SO." SHUT OFF THIS TAPE RECORDER.
>> [whispering] SO. >> YEAH, THERE'S DEFINITELY
SOMETHING THERE. RIGHT HERE.
WHEN YOU WHISPER, YOU'RE NOT MOVING YOUR VOCAL CHORDS.
AND THEREFORE YOU'RE NOT CREATING ANY FUNDAMENTAL
FREQUENCY. AND THE FIRST THING YOU'D WANT
TO DO IS TO INVESTIGATE WHO WAS ON SITE, BECAUSE IT IS AUDIBLE.
>> [whispering] SO. >> I MEAN, I CAN HEAR THAT.
YOU CAN HEAR THAT. >> SHUT OFF THIS TAPE RECORDER.
>> [whispering] SO. >> narrator: AND THE VOICE SEEMS
TO BE EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE MICROPHONE, BUT THE SURVEILLANCE
CAMERA IN THE ROOM SHOWS NO ONE IS CLOSE TO IT.
>> ANYBODY THAT WAS IN THE ROOM WAS AT LEAST THREE TO FIVE
FEET AWAY FROM THE MICROPHONE. >> THIS WORKS ON THE PROPOSITION
OF THE INVERSE SQUARE LAW, YOU KNOW, WHICH MEANS--IT'S A FANCY
WAY OF SAYING THAT FOR EVERY DOUBLE THE DISTANCE YOU MOVE
AWAY FROM THE SOURCE, YOU LOSE 6 dB.
SO IF YOU'RE UP RIGHT AGAINST THE SOURCE, AND YOU'RE
WHISPERING, WHICH YOU WOULD--TO BE RECORDED IN THE FIRST PLACE,
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE CLOSE. AND THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS
CLOSE. >> [whispering] SO.
>> narrator: THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ALSO PICKED UP THE VOICE.
>> SHUT OFF THIS TAPE RECORDER. >> [whispering] SO.
>> narrator: BUT, EERILY, THE VOICE SOUNDS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO
THE CAMERA MICROPHONE TOO, EVEN THOUGH THE CAMERA WAS TEN
FEET AWAY FROM THE AUDIO RECORDER.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SOUND.
I MEAN, IT'S AUDIBLE. AND IT'S--IT'S--YOU CAN HEAR
THAT IT'S A SOUND. WHETHER IT'S FROM THE OTHER
SIDE, I DON'T KNOW. >> narrator: IT MAY ONLY BE ONE
WORD, BUT THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT ELIMINATE THE
POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WAS THE VOICE OF A GHOST.
>> I'M PRETTY CONVINCED THAT 90% OF THE VOICES THAT WE
CAUGHT I WOULD CONSIDER THEM TO BE SPIRIT VOICES OR OF A
SPIRITUAL ORIGIN. >> narrator: IT MAY NOT BE PROOF
BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, BUT SOMETHING STRANGE WAS HAPPENING
IN THE BORDEN HOUSE... thud!
[camera bulb snapping] whoosh!
AND IS HAPPENING IN PLACES ALL OVER THE WORLD EVERY DAY.
AND, AS RECORDING TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES AND WITH IT THE
QUALITY OF THE EVIDENCE, DEFINITE PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE
OF SPIRITS AMONG US MAY BE CLOSER THAN WE THINK.
