There's this darkness on this property.
I've never let anybody talk to my children
about what they've experienced or what's going on.
A bloody battle took place on sacred ground.
Do you know who the three of us are?
In here is a dark somebody.
NICK: It's holding at a 1.5.
I heard that disembodied voice, and it said, "I'll kill you."
Was that you?
ZAK: My name is Zak Bagans,
lead investigator of the "Ghost Adventures" crew.
I never believed in ghosts until I came face-to-face with one.
You wanted us. You got us.
So I set out on a quest
to capture what I once saw onto video.
Go! Go!
With no big camera crews following us around,
I am joined only
by my fellow investigators Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin.
The three of us will travel
to some of the most highly active paranormal locations,
where we will spend an entire night
being locked down...
from dusk until dawn.
You have reached your final destination -- hell.
Raw.
Stop!
Holy [bleep]
Stop! Stop running!
These are our ghost adventures.

[ Wind chime clanging ]
We've been called to this place.
The Black Swan Inn in San Antonio, Texas.
Why?
Because people have been attacked
by dark, unseen forces,
and there's no better place for us to be than here...
...to confront these dark forces.
And, more importantly, why are they doing this?
When first built in 1867,
this dairy plantation and creamery
was home to Heinrich Mahler and his family,
but only 25 years prior, in 1842,
these grounds were host to the Battle of Salado.
This bloody standoff between a small Texan militia
trying to preserve their independence
from a Mexican invasion
resulted in 60 Mexican casualties
compared to one Texan who died that day.
And with these grounds soaked in blood,
we suspect this battle may be a source for the hauntings here.
[ Doorknob rattling ]
Whoa!
Hi.
I already jumped.
The squeak of the door made me jump.
We're off to a great start.
ZAK: Do you live here?
I live here. This is my home.
This is your home?
Yes, I've experienced a lot,
and I'm raising my children here,
and they're experiencing a lot.
Do you know what has happened in this house
to possibly cause the hauntings?
We've had numerous deaths in this house.
On a personal level,
my mother just passed away in the house in October.
Do you interact with her?
Yeah.
Since 1867,
several generations of families have lived in this house.
While our research shows
that the majority of these deaths have been natural,
we have to wonder what could be attracting
the evil energy that is supposedly here.
That closet is where I've had my first worst experience.
And that's what's known now as the psychomanteum.
Can you tell us what the purpose of a psychomanteum is?
For scrying and bringing forth spirit.
It's like a portal.
With the installation of this psychomanteum chamber
directly in her home,
we need to consider that its use
may be a catalyst for bringing spiritual energy,
regardless of its nature, here to the inn.
Those using it may unknowingly be creating
the very problem that is haunting them.
NICK: Look at what we're doing. You walk into a location.
We start talking to the spirits.
They listen to us. They know they can communicate.
We're opening that door up.
It's the same thing that is right there.
[ Door creaks ]
[ Door slams ]
Have people been attacked by spirits?
Women get sexually... touched,
and I've had a few things happen to me in the kitchen.
I felt like someone took their hands
and just kind of slid up my inner thighs.
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Crack ]
[ Panting ]
Can you think of any other attacks
that were really pretty severe?
The only other thing was down in the law library.
In here is a dark somebody...
...who's aggressive -- It's a man.
He's pretty large,
and I don't know where he comes from.
Unless it has something to do with the battle.
We were doing an investigation.
I was just calling out,
and it felt like I got a gunshot to my head.
[ Gunshot ]
ZAK: Based on Jo Ann's experiences,
we theorized that this dark entity
may be one of the soldiers from the Battle of Salado.
We head over to investigate the milk barn,
the former creamery built by the original owner,
Heinrich Mahler.
Aside from the main house, we're told this area
is the second-biggest hot spot on the property.
[ Metal squeaking, creaking ]
[ Screaming ]
So, this was a milking barn?
So, you can see the troughs on the side
Oh, yeah.
Right here.
What is your most disturbing experience in here?
I was standing here asking him to come forward...
Who's "him"?
It's Heinrich -- Heinrich Mahler.
And you could actually hear
the footsteps on the wood floor come right up to me,
so I heard a really loud, "Get out!"
MAN: [ Deep voice ] Get out!
There's this darkness that manifests itself
from time to time on this property.
ZAK: Viktor, a paranormal enthusiast,
reveals how his life was jeopardized
by the malevolent dark energy
after an investigation at the Black Swan.
We were in the library.
As I was sitting there, I started feeling
this vibrational pull from the soles of my feet
going all the way up through my legs.
I started feeling a crushing within,
as if a hand just went, like, right in
and just started crushing.
That night, I heard that disembodied voice,
and it said, "I'll hurt you."
And then it said, "I'll kill you."
MAN: I'll kill you.
[ Distorted ] I'll kill you.
I'll kill you.
I went home that night,
went into the emergency room to have surgery.
It had to do with the gall bladder.
It was crushed and twisted.
[ High-pitched whining ]
That's when...
things really took a turn for the worse.
I started reflecting on that voice --
"I'll hurt you."
That was done.
The "I'll kill you"...
is what really struck a chord with it.
On January the 2nd,
I had -- I had a stroke.
It didn't feel as if it was just
the natural body having a stroke.
It felt like it was induced by something other.
ZAK: What is keeping you coming back here?
That's a good question.
It's something that I ask myself every day.
I can't elaborate how negative this energy really is.
ZAK: Are you Viktor's wife?
Would you mind talking?
ZAK: With Viktor's life threatened
as a result of his investigations here,
we speak with his wife to gain insight
as to why this dark entity has made him the focus of its abuse.
Was that a scary night for you,
to see your husband go through this?
It was.
I did not even want him to repeat the EVP recording.
You have an EVP?
Yeah, but we won't play it.
Can I hear it?
Honestly, that would be up to Viktor.
Mm-hmm.
She was stating that there's an EVP
that you captured that night
that she doesn't want to hear.
Viktor agrees to share the EVP
where this dark entity first made itself known to him.
I hate you.
AARON: "I hate you."
NICK: It's a deep man's voice.
Where'd you capture the "hate you"?
In the front,
walking down the stairs, towards the gazebo.
Anytime I go home after visiting this place,
I just remain in this very still, quiet state.
That's what your wife said.
Any time that we come here to this land,
he kind of gets disconnected for a day or so.
I have to literally stay away from this place
before I feel normal again.
It's something that is very real,
and I can't explain it.
What is Viktor's ethnicity?
He's from Mexico.
Are one of the spirits that are doing this to him
the Texan that was killed in the battle?
Yep.
Based on the violent nature of Viktor's attacks,
plus Jo Ann's description
of the dark entity she encountered...
JO ANN: Aggressive. It's a man. He's pretty large.
...could this be residual energy
of the only Texan to die during the Battle of Salado?
And if so, why this spirit remains
is a question we need to have answered.
Have you ever seen anything in here?
I saw a shadow.
That battle that took place here
certainly would have stirred up a lot of emotion.
ZAK: As we continue our investigation of the Black Swan Inn,
we regroup with its owner, Jo Ann,
who tells us of others close to her
who have come into contact with the dark energy here.
I've never let anybody talk to my children
about what they've experienced or what's going on.
Are you gonna let us talk to your children?
Yeah, that's the plan.
Madison, have you --
Have you ever seen anything in here?
Up in your room and stuff?
I saw a shadow, and then I went back to bed,
and then I saw two little glowing red dots.
Where did you see the little glowing red dots?
Over there by the shelf.
Were the red dots in the shadow person?
Yes.
Did they look like the eyes?
Did it move?
Yeah. I kept getting pinched in the middle of the night.
And then my blanket would always get pulled off.
And then when I woke up, there's bruises on my legs.
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Have you ever seen anything else?
Well, not in here,
but technically, in the stairway over there.
It was like a mist, but it had, like,
a white line in the shape, like, of a --
like a skirt or something,
like, staying still, right on the stairs.
What do you guys want us to do while we're here?
To see what goes on in the middle of the night.
Okay.
Well, that's what we'll do for you.
We promise. Scout's honor.
But more importantly,
you think you got to know that you're okay here.
Yep.
And you're both strong.
ZAK: We now move our investigation outside
to explore the grounds that surround the main house.
Is this [bleep]
I think Joe Dirt would call that a meteorite.
Look at it.
It breaks the stick.
I don't know what could cause this.
[ Horse whinnies ]
Gee!
Oh, my god.
You're picking that up?
[ Laughs ]
Dude, stop.
Stop!
[ Laughs ] Stop!
NICK: Camera down!
[ Electricity crackles ]
Right now, we're at the site of the Battle of Salado,
literally, 100 yards from the main house.
And we're gonna see if we can find any artifacts.
Ultimately, these are the best trigger objects
that we could ever use in our investigation.
But there's about a 6-foot-diameter,
hand-dug water well.
Nobody knows about it,
but this is probably about a 100-year-old well.
ZAK: It's kind of not my favorite thing
to climb in wells since Old Mackey's.
Come here, Bill.
Got something here saying zinc or dime.
Uh, wait. I think I got it.
[ Laughs ]
They have these back in the 1800s?
All right, let's press on.
What's that?
It might be off a gas line.
This says it's a nickel.
AARON: Found a nickel!
I do the easy work.
I film the evidence.
Two kids playing together in the woods.
Finally Aaron around somebody his own age.
[ Beeping ]
It says, "aluminum."
ZAK: I am not gonna stop relic hunting
till I find a relic.
[ Beeping ]
Actually, it's a belt buckle.
Looks like a part off of, like,
a radiator cap on a car or something.
ZAK: Oh, Bill, over here.
This says it's a dime.
It says it's a quarter.
[ Beeping stops ]
How can it just disappear?
Right there!
Dude, what is this?
That's a top that goes on a fence post.
Is it old?
Maybe about 30 years old. [ Laughs ]
See what Aaron does?
Two little kids, he puts them to work.
Hey!
They love it!
Okay, so, Phil just came over
and brought us some relics
that were actually found on the property.
Well, this is cool.
Is that a U.S. soldier badge?
Looks like it.
That's a really old shell casing.
Kind of strange -- you got grooves somehow.
ZAK: Hey, Nathaniel, Madison?
We're gonna go get some snacks, so will you guys
just let us know if you find anything?
Bye!
This is my prize possession of today's relic hunting.
What year?
1999.
666, though, if you read it like that.
So, today's street value would put it to be about what?
5 cents.
Hey!
Okay.
[ Laughs ]
ZAK: As we conclude our relic hunt,
we notice a man watching us from a distance.
The information he shares offers a deeper insight
into the land the Black Swan was built upon.
Now, you're native Indian here
Yes, from Texas.
Gary Perez is the custodian
of the Native American Church National Trust.
Do you know what these lands
had to do with the native Indians
before the Texan/Mexican wars?
The one thing that attracted them to this area
is the spring that still flows here.
Our ancestors called it Yanawana.
Yanawana means "spirit waters."
It's water that flows on its own,
by itself, without any foreseeable force.
And this spring was a 20-foot geyser.
So, whenever you had a full moon
that passed over San Antonio,
the waters would geyse up even further.
And that is where we were born from.
So, are you trying to tell me that this is sacred ground?
Absolutely.
[ Flute trills ]
What would happen if a bloody battle
took place on sacred ground?
[ Gunshot ]
A lot of the folks that died here
that were part of the Mexican Army
were Indians themselves.
That battle that took place here
certainly would have stirred up a lot of emotion.
Have you heard about the hauntings here?
Yes, I have.
I do believe that this place has something in it
that, for some reason, won't or cannot escape.
Or wants to remain and make itself known.
ZAK: Right now, we're just getting ready
to begin our investigation.
NICK: It's upstairs.
[ Door creaks ]
ZAK: Right now, we're just getting ready
to begin our investigation at the Black Swan Inn,
and right now, it sits empty of the living.
Well, there's one living person in there right now,
and that is Jo Ann.
We are going to invite her to investigate with us
for a short time tonight
because she's encountered a lot of the spirits here,
including her own mother that passed away in the house.
But there's also dark spirits in this house
that are attacking her children,
leaving bruises on her daughter, Madison.
I am unnerved right now for this investigation.
I know what these dark spirits can do to you.
I had -- I had a stroke.
But we have to go in here.
We have to try and help this family get answers.
And, more importantly,
try and get these dark sprits out of this house
so these children aren't afraid to go to bed at night.
[ Knock on door ]
[ Door creaks ]
Hey.
How you doing?
Just wanted to let you know,
behind the house there in that little shed,
we do have a nerve center set up.
We're gonna have Billy Tolley, our audio/visual tech,
and Jay Wasley, our audio tech.
They're gonna be monitoring
this entire investigation this evening.
Nick, why don't you and I
NICK: Okay.
And then we'll meet you back at nerve center
Okay.
Aaron, will you escort her over to nerve?
Sure.
We come here with no intentions to fight you,
to cause harm, or bring provocation.
We just want to learn a little bit more
about your existence in this other world.
It's fascinating.
So, if you could work with us tonight
in a respectful way,
that is what we are offering to you.
What was that?
Shh.
That is what we are offering to you.
What was that?
Quiet.
Shh!
[ Tapping ]
Do you not hear those footsteps?
It's upstairs, yeah.
Shh!
It's in the bedroom?
I could hear the floor cracking
from how heavy the steps were.
It's weird, 'cause at first,
I thought it was down here, then all of a sudden...
No, no, no, it was right here.
...it was upstairs in the children's room, back there.
[ Door creaking ]
I heard somebody walking right here
30 seconds ago from downstairs.
Right here.
Turn that camera on.
MAN: Yeah.
ZAK: Let's go to nerve center.
Did you focus it?
...about these footsteps.
Okay.
Hey, Jo Ann?
As we were standing in that front entryway,
we heard very, very loud footsteps
come from the bedroom directly above us.
The reason we are investigating this further
and not automatically assuming it's a raccoon or small animal
is because we could hear the wood beams creak
from heavy footsteps
which would not be the case if it were a small animal.
Okay, now, your husband was telling us
that he's heard this before.
Okay, what is that?
It's more "Who is that?" I think.
Can you tell me how many spirits live in this house?
Hey, Mom, I want to talk to you tonight.
I'm feeling that electricity jolt through my body.
ZAK: On the second floor of the Black Swan Inn,
we just documented the sound of unexplained footsteps
and share our findings with its owner
to understand the source.
It's more "Who is that?" I think.
To answer Jo Ann's question, we decide to conduct
an SB7 Spirit Box experiment in her home.
We will be running two separate Spirit Boxes
synched up to sweep simultaneously
on the same frequency
to see if we can get a spirit voice to come through
one of the devices and not the other,
which would dismiss feedback contamination
and prove the validity of these devices
as spirit communication tools.
Do you know who we are?
Do you know who the three of us are?
Do you know what we're doing here?
For over 10 minutes,
I ask a series of about 20 questions,
and we receive no responses.
That is, until I ask a personal question
about Jo Ann's family.
Can you tell me the name
of one of the children that lives in this house?
We are speechless when we hear a female spirit
give us the name of Jo Ann's daughter.
Can you tell me the name
of one of the children that lives in this house?
What's even more shocking is that when this voice speaks,
it only comes through the Spirit Box on the right,
at which time it also disrupts our audio software program,
causing the live timeline to freeze the wave form
while the left wave form keeps sweeping.
This spirit voice also speaks three syllables
in the same voice over multiple sweeps,
giving us an intelligent response.
After being able to document and establish
legitimate spirit voices here at the Black Swan Inn
through our Spirit Box experiment,
we continue our session by using only one device,
so that we can focus on these direct responses
and their characteristics visually
on a single, enlarged wave form.
Can you tell me what the name
of the battle that took place here?
What was the name of the battle?
[ Static ]
Is this spirit telling us that the Battle of Salado
wasn't the only battle fought on this land?
Can you tell me what the name
of the battle that took place here?
What was the name of the battle?
[ Static ]
Can you tell me how many spirits live in this house?
[ Static ]
NICK: Eight.
Earlier, we asked Jo Ann
how many spirits are said to haunt her property,
and she named off eight.
Sofie, Steven, Joline...
Park, Emma...
Mom, Sebastian...
What about the original one?
The other one could be Joe Holbrook.
Can you tell me how many spirits live in this house?
[ Static ]
NICK: Eight.
Do you know who I am?
[ Static ]
Over the course of 20 minutes,
we receive no further voices,
so Nick and I return to nerve center,
where Jo Ann informs us
that the Madison spirit voice we captured
sounds like her mother,
who recently passed away inside the house
less than six months ago.
Because of this, we decide to go forward
and try to make further contact.
NICK: What happens if I take Jo,
and we can ask a couple questions?
Okay.
AARON: Sure.
Life is short, so let's try and get some answers here.
I know there's something here.
[ Door creaking ]
Hello.
Hey, Mom.
I want to talk to you tonight.
We have a lot of equipment,
so we should be able to hear you.
NICK: Whoa. .3, going up, .4.
I am -- I'm feeling that electricity
jolt through my body.
And right now, it's holding at a 1.5.
That's high.
It's going up.
Mother.
There's those footsteps.
It's going up.
Mother.
Mother.
Mother.
There's those footsteps.
It's holding at a 1.5.
It was baselined at a .2 and now it's at a 1.5.
Mom, is that you?
Can you please talk to us?
Your daughter was asking about a code word.
Can you please tell us what that code word is?
No, it's her word.
ZAK: After documenting evidence at the Black Swan Inn,
which we believe may be Jo Ann's recently deceased mother...
...Nick and Jo Ann investigate further
to try and make a connection.
Mom, is that you?
ZAK: So, with a high EMF spike
and a presence being felt by Nick,
I head inside to try and assist Jo Ann
with speaking to her mother.
At this time, I also send Aaron off
to do a thermal sweep of the entire Black Swan property
where the Battle of Salado took place.
ZAK: Jo Ann, is this where your mother passed away?
Mm-hmm.
Just about four or five months ago?
Yes.
[ Static ]
Mom?
Can you just say your code word?
[ Static ]
Faye, can you -- can you talk to us?
Can you say hello?
[ Static stops ]
I didn't hear anything.
There's nothing, not a single voice
coming through the Spirit Box.
ZAK: As we are trying to make contact
with a deceased family member of the inn's owner,
Aaron makes a contrasting entrance to the milking barn,
where countless attacks have been documented
by an aggressive entity.
I heard a really loud, "Get out!"
AARON: Hello!
How you doing?
My name's Aaron,
and I came in here to talk and communicate.
ZAK: We're gonna try something else.
NICK: Mm-hmm.
ZAK: Jo Ann is trying to validate
her interaction with her mother
by receiving a secret code word they had together.
Nobody else knows what this code word is,
and having no success using the digital recorder
or the Spirit Box in this room,
we decide to give the Ovilus X a chance.
This device contains a phonetic generator,
and spirits can use their energy
to choose and even create different words.
Can you tell us what the code word was
between you and your daughter, Jo Ann, here?
Or anything that she would know that we don't?
Not a single word comes through the Ovilus X device,
so I conduct a final Spirit Box session.
I'm gonna give this one more try.
[ Static ]
Faye, are you here?
Can you please talk to us
if you're in this room right now?
Your daughter was asking for -- about a code word.
Can you please tell us what that code word is?
[ Static ]
Did you just hear, "I love you"?
NICK: I didn't hear that.
Did you just hear that? "I love you."
No.
ZAK: What's very weird here
is I think I hear the Spirit Box say, "I love you,"
but the voice speaks very quickly,
and we are all unsure of what was exactly said.
I also feel a loving-type presence during the voice,
and that energy is about to go right through all of us.
Mom, is that you?
Okay, I feel in my feet, my legs.
My knees are tingling.
NICK: Yeah, my whole face is tingling right now.
Something just came up on me, and back me up,
but I don't think it's bad.
Mother?
Whew.
Wow.
Now it's gone.
ZAK: Did the spirit that spoke this voice --
the only voice we got from two Spirit Box sessions --
coincidentally pass through us moments afterwards?
Interrupted by this,
we immediately get back to reviewing the voice
by doing playback on Nick's camera.
[ Static ]
NICK: Right there?
No, it's her word.
It's her word.
What do you mean?
Bossier.
Bossier.
So, that's what it -- That's what it sounds like.
Hang on one second, let me see.
At this moment,
Jo Ann is visually and emotionally stunned
as this voice that we replay
is her and her mother's code word, "Bossier."
Bossier -- what does that mean?
Bossier is our code word.
That's it?
Yeah.
Bossier, it's where she liked to go play --
She liked to gamble.
In Bossier, yeah.
I'm, like, that's where she wanted to go before she died.
She was in East Texas,
and she was gonna go to Bossier to gamble.
I mean, that's the first time she's using her voice.
It's, like...
That's excellent.
[ Voice breaking ] Like, oh, my God, that's just amazing.
And nobody knows that word but me.
The thing is, is that, Zak,
you heard, "I love you..."
...in your heart or whatever.
And if you didn't hear, "I love you,"
we would not be standing here playing this back.
I know.
Yeah, that's true.
NICK: Yeah, we typically just bring our evidence home
and go over it later.
You all right?
I'm sorry.
No, no, no. Don't be sorry.
Oh, my God. She said, "I love you," through you.
[ Chuckles ]
ZAK: Does that, at least, give you some comfort,
you know, knowing your mom -- she's looking after you?
Oh, Yeah. It's awesome.
I mean, I know she's here, and I never doubted it,
but to actually hear it and know and...
you know, that I'm not the only one, 'cause you felt her.
You heard her.
ZAK: Good tears right now.
Wow. Thanks, Mom.
I was wondering if you could show me something.
What was that?
I just want to know why you feel the need
to scare children.
ZAK: As we continue our investigation,
Aaron moves deeper into the milking barn
which, next to the main house,
is the most active area here at the Black Swan Inn.
AARON: All right.
I heard there's some gnarly entities in here,
Heinrich Mahler.
And you could actually hear the footsteps come forward.
Who's "him"?
Heinrich Mahler,
'cause it was his dairy farm.
I was wondering if you could come in here and...
...and show me something, like, a sign of your presence,
or move something.
Throw something around.
I'm gonna do a little experiment.
[ Tapping ]
What was that?
ZAK: Just as Aaron asks this aggressive spirit
to move something,
a very loud noise is heard next to this camera,
and right now, we are unable to determine
what made the noise,
so we can't officially say it's paranormal.
Move something. Throw something around.
I'm gonna do a little experiment.
Do a little experiment.
Do a little experiment.
What was that?
Heinrich Mahler?
Was that you?
I'm gonna go in here,
and I'm gonna try to find you with my thermal camera.
Ohh.
Vibe in here is way different
than anywhere else on this property, I think.
ZAK: As Aaron is panning the thermal camera
around the milking barn,
he doesn't notice this, but look in the far left window,
and it almost appears to be a short figure.
You can see a head, shoulders, arms,
and maybe even a white tank top that a farmer would wear?
And it's looking at Aaron through the window.
When Aaron pans to the right,
you can see that he's standing behind drywall,
and this window is catching what we make out to be his hand
showing extreme heat in white.
We debunked this figure as not being a reflection of Aaron
because Aaron is shooting the window at an angle,
and the figure appears to be squared up
and almost pulsating visually.
We cannot factually state that this is an apparition
peering through the window at Aaron.
We just know the property is secured
from anyone messing with us,
and because Aaron did not notice this
on the thermal's LCD screen in real time,
he couldn't try to debunk this in the moment,
leaving this unexplained.
AARON: Can you tell me why....
you've been so...
active around people here?
ZAK: Aaron joins us back at nerve center
where plan our next experiment.
Earlier, we placed a very large amplified speaker
in the center of Jo Ann's home,
because it sits at the heart of a bloody battle,
as well as sacred Indian land.
I am going to play
Civil War era re-enactment battle audio recordings
to hopefully ignite residual energy
or intelligent spirits who died in the Battle of Salado.
We have done this on previous investigations
and received compelling evidence.
Here at the Perryville Battlefield,
we fired muskets and captured shocking thermal evidence,
as well as unexplained cannon blasts.
Did you hear that?
[ Gunshots ]
[ Gunshots continue ]
[ Gunshots continue ]

During the course of this experiment,
I capture nothing on the thermal imaging camera,
but on this X camera,
we do capture something we are unable to explain.

As you can hear the battle sounds
playing in the background,
this strange mist-like anomaly manifests itself.
This is not a dust particle or a bug.
Here's an example of what a bug looks like
in night vision.
Once we look at this anomaly closer,
it almost has the flight pattern and shape of a weapon.
We are adding a visual of a soldier here
to simulate what we are trying to describe
in terms of an ax or sword being swung in battle.

I stop the battle sounds
and make my way to the children's bedrooms
one last time
to see if I can give them some answers
about what they've been fearful of while sleeping,
and what they believe are bad ghosts.
Can you tell me
what you're doing in these rooms here?
Are you pinching these kids,
putting bruises on 'em?
I just want to know why you feel the need
to scare children.
Why you being so quiet?
I don't feel anybody up here, nothing.
During my investigation of the upstairs bedrooms,
I feel no presence of spirit energy
and capture no EVPs and nothing on thermal.
Then, after I leave,
we capture this dark shadow
in one of the children's bedrooms.
If you look very closely,
you can see this dark mass or shadow
appear at the foot of the child's bed.
But as we watch more footage,
we realize that this dark mass
is actually a rat or a mouse
climbing up the furniture.
While we never encountered any evil presences
in the children's bedrooms,
we do feel this 150-year-old house
also welcomes unwanted rodents,
aside from the many ghosts that may also be responsible
for the unexplained pinching being felt on her legs.
Our findings and conclusion of the hauntings of Black Swan Inn
are that this is one location
that has many memories, many imprints, and many scars.
A nest for both residual energy
and several intelligent spirits
who passed away on this land in different times --
the most recent death, Jo Ann's mother, Faye,
who came through and spoke their secret code word...
It's her word.
...in one of our most powerful, emotional,
and compelling spirit communication sessions
in the history of our ghost adventures.
