The recordings span multiple locations, including a private residence where two women practicing Wicca have unwittingly invited a hostile presence into their home. One chilling voice threatens physical harm, while another explains its motive with disturbing clarity. The investigation moves to a mausoleum where a disembodied voice echoes through marble halls, and a concerned female spirit asks Brendan if he is okay after he falls down the stairs. At a pioneer cemetery in northern Utah, a child's voice claims responsibility for tugging on a blanket.
Barbara shares her theory that most ghosts are unhappy consciousnesses who have not moved on, and that a person's mental state in life carries into death. She and Art discuss the disproportionate number of children's voices in their recordings. Additional captures from a prison and a mortician's haunted home round out the evening.
Key Moments
How you die isn't who you become: McBeath argues most ghosts she records are unhappy because attitude and mental state carry over from life into death.
'To cause her pain' EVP: Brendan asks an entity in a Wiccan-practicing home why it scratched a woman; the recorded response sounds like 'to cause her pain.'
Ghosts who don't know they're dead: McBeath suggests many EVP voices belong to people stuck because they don't realize they died or had unfinished business.
Mausoleum voice asks 'Are you okay?': Brendan falls down stairs alone in a mausoleum; a clear, concerned woman's voice is captured asking if he is okay.
'Help me find my dad' child voice: In a Utah pioneer cemetery, GIS captures a sad young voice saying 'help me find my dad,' one of many disproportionately child EVPs.
