00:00When a young couple purchases a neighborhood haunt, they get much more than they bargained
00:11for.
00:12There was so much activity and there seemed to be so many entities in one location.
00:20Ghostly pranks quickly turn aggressive, threatening the safety and sanity of everyone who comes
00:27in the front door.
00:29We were dealing with something much bigger than ourselves.
00:32It was getting more personal, it was getting more dangerous.
00:35I was truly scared at that point.
00:38In America, there is real evil.
00:42It lurks in the darkest shadows in our most ordinary towns.
00:47Between the worlds we see and the things we fear, there are doors.
00:53When they are opened, nightmares become reality.
01:23In 2007, Jason Ryder surprises his wife, Lynn, with an unexpected gift.
01:36Okay, open them.
01:39What?
01:40It's Maury's.
01:43We are the new owners of Maury's.
01:46Maury's is a popular Merritt and Connecticut restaurant.
01:49Oh my God.
01:51So Maury's was basically the place that everyone has a story about in Merritt, because that
01:56is the place we all grew up.
01:57A lot of people from the town, they would go there.
02:01So it's almost like a cheers.
02:02What have you done?
02:06Jason and Lynn frequented Maury's on dates and dreamed they would one day own the place.
02:12I kind of got blindsided by the purchase of Maury's.
02:14I didn't know.
02:15Jason's pretty good about that kind of stuff.
02:18After three months of renovations, Lynn and Jason renamed the bar Ryder's.
02:32Lynn's father, Barry, is recruited to help.
02:35Lynn is a people person.
02:37If she has people around her, she's totally happy.
02:41Both Lynn and Jason quickly discover that running a restaurant and a bar is more challenging
02:46than they ever imagined.
02:48Lynn, we are on our last bottle of tequila and the ice machine is on the fritz again.
02:52We were up there seven days a week.
02:53Some days it was 15, 16 hours a day.
02:56We were still trying to learn the business.
02:58Also, we need to order more shot glasses.
03:00I just ordered new ones last week.
03:02Where'd they go?
03:03I don't know.
03:04I usually had about 48 shot glasses.
03:06As the weeks went on, I was down to like two shot glasses.
03:10And then I would buy 24 more, and a couple days later I'd be down to five shot glasses.
03:15This is getting expensive.
03:16So I questioned my staff as to, are you breaking them, are you throwing them out, are people
03:20stealing them?
03:24The shot glasses are not the only items disappearing in the bar.
03:28Lynn's keys frequently go missing.
03:30We would spend sometimes almost up to an hour looking for keys.
03:34They would go missing pretty much every day for a while.
03:37In the beginning I thought I was losing my mind.
03:39And then it started happening more frequently.
03:41So I started questioning who's doing it.
03:45Lynn often comes in early in the morning to catch up on paperwork.
03:49It's the only quiet time she has before opening the restaurant for the day.
03:54Up until now, she's never been disturbed.
04:11Dad?
04:12Jason, is that you?
04:16No.
04:25Lynn Marie.
04:28I heard my name, and not just my name, I heard Lynn Marie, which is my full name.
04:37Lynn Marie.
04:40What?
04:41Dad, Jason, what?
04:42What do you guys want?
04:43I'm swamped here.
04:44It sounded like it was coming from out in the restaurant.
04:46Like my husband or my dad was yelling for me.
04:49I wasn't really pleased that I had to get up because I was extremely busy.
04:59Dad?
05:04Jason?
05:05I looked around, and the building was empty.
05:08And the hair stood up on the back of my neck.
05:12I told Jason I felt like I was being watched.
05:15He basically just said, listen, you're tired.
05:18You work a lot of hours.
05:24Jason's assurance that nothing strange is going on does not make Lynn feel better.
05:30When something inside me tells me that I need to kind of be on alert, there's usually a reason.
05:37Several days later, it's Super Bowl Sunday, and Lynn prepares for a party at the restaurant.
05:54Suddenly, Lynn feels a tap on her shoulder.
06:00And then another.
06:02The second tap was harder.
06:05It was hard enough that my attention needed to be caught.
06:12Marci?
06:16Marci, you there?
06:19Lynn, do you need help?
06:23You got it?
06:29Were you just in the basement?
06:32No, Lynn, I just got here.
06:35I need to get back upstairs.
06:37Things moving or disappearing, that's one thing.
06:41For something to be able to come up and touch you, I mean, it's scary.
06:47Over the next few weeks, Lynn continues to have strange experiences in the restaurant.
06:54But each time she tries to talk about it with her family, they laugh it off.
07:00Everybody was teasing me at that point.
07:02Like, oh, what's the matter, Lynn? Is your ghost do it?
07:05So it was a big joke. I mean, it was a constant joke.
07:08Well, we joked around a lot because we just thought this was just, you know, it was a way to ease attention.
07:15You leaving?
07:16Mm-hmm. I need to go to the post office. I'll lock up.
07:20Okay.
07:29DOOR SLAMS
07:49I had beer bottles all over the place.
07:52They were on the floor. They were moved around.
07:55I'm the only one in the bar.
07:57The bar is locked.
08:00I cannot fathom how this could have happened.
08:03There's no logical explanation.
08:06I get very, very uneasy because I can't figure this out.
08:16The next day, Barry stocks the beer cooler before opening.
08:21He thinks he's alone.
08:25DOOR SLAMS
08:27Not funny!
08:32DOOR KNOCKS
08:33Hey, come on! Open the door!
08:39Jason! Open the door!
08:42I was afraid.
08:43If you've ever been in combat, if you've ever had somebody literally trying to kill you, that's the feeling you get.
08:50And that's the exact feeling I had.
08:52Open the door!
08:54Come on! Open the door!
08:57Seriously, come on!
09:01Hey, come on! Open the door!
09:03Barry Eichenauer is working alone in his daughter's bar
09:07when someone or something locks him in the beer cooler.
09:14Come on! Open the door!
09:16Open the door!
09:20I caught my breath, and now I had to get my wits about me.
09:23I had to figure out what was going on.
09:29Dad!
09:30Yeah?
09:31Are you OK? I heard someone yelling.
09:32I'm OK now.
09:33The look on his face, alone, told me that he was a little scared.
09:38He was never going to admit it to me.
09:40I've been in that cooler a million times.
09:44It's never locked on me.
09:46The door can't even close by itself.
09:50This is what really started me to get into her corner and say,
09:54look, you've got to figure out what's going on.
09:57Lynn fears there is something supernatural lurking in the shadows of her restaurant.
10:03Her mother convinces her that a psychic may see what Lynn cannot.
10:08Do you own a bar?
10:10Yes.
10:11I sense two mischievous entities at your restaurant.
10:16She said to me, you have two spirits,
10:18and they weren't really happy with some of the things I was doing.
10:21She told me that they had been there for many, many years,
10:24and instead of going into a power struggle with them,
10:27I needed to go back to the restaurant
10:29and kind of just make peace with the fact that they were there.
10:32They've taken several items and hidden them in the basement.
10:36And she described it with the dirt cellar.
10:38She told me exactly what corner and what box to look behind.
10:42She says, you'll find them.
10:48My parents had to drop me off at the restaurant.
10:50I immediately ran downstairs
10:52and started digging through exactly where she told me to go.
11:07The very moment that I pulled back the last box and found shot glasses,
11:13I kind of froze.
11:15I did freeze.
11:16I was like, whoa, okay.
11:25We were in the basement of the restaurant.
11:27We were in the basement of the restaurant.
11:29We were in the basement of the restaurant.
11:31We were in the basement of the restaurant.
11:34What are you doing back here?
11:36Jason.
11:40I found the shot glasses
11:42exactly where the psychic said they would be.
11:45Jason.
11:47I really think they're a ghost here.
11:51Anyone could have brought those glasses down here.
11:54It proves nothing.
11:58Don't say anything to the employees.
12:00Don't say anything to the employees.
12:02I don't want them thinking they work for a crazy person.
12:05I didn't want my wife to pretty much be telling people about this
12:08because I don't want them to think that she was in no case,
12:10you know, seeing this or seeing that.
12:12I knew I wasn't crazy at that point,
12:14but that's when you really got to start going,
12:16okay, wait, we're dealing with something, you know,
12:19and you don't know what's going to happen.
12:30Two years later, Lynn hires Tito Corchato
12:33to be a bouncer and help out around the bar.
12:36She doesn't tell him about the strange occurrences.
12:39When I first started working at Ryder's,
12:41I didn't have any weird feelings towards the bar.
12:44I've never heard any stories about anything.
12:47Dad, would you run down to the basement
12:49and pick up a couple more boxes of martini glasses for me?
12:52Oh, I'll get them.
12:54Thanks, Tito.
12:56You could feel the change of temperature.
12:59It was very cold down there.
13:02Who's there?
13:04Jason? Is that you?
13:07Good job!
13:09Register tape was thrown at me.
13:15Good try, Jason.
13:17I thought it was Jay playing around with me
13:20because Jay loves to play jokes,
13:22so I thought it was Jay.
13:26That same evening,
13:29Tito helps with cleanup after closing.
13:44To actually see pots flying off on their own
13:47when there's no one back there, that was the scariest moment.
13:50That made me believe that there were actually
13:53some supernatural activities going on at Ryder's.
13:59Later that night...
14:06Yeah?
14:08What is it?
14:10Okay, I'll meet the police there in a few minutes.
14:17The alarm company again?
14:19Third time this week.
14:21I swear.
14:36This particular time, the police didn't show up,
14:39so I figure somebody's breaking into the building.
14:52I see, like, three black shadows.
14:54I'm like, oh, here we go.
15:08Jason has no idea what danger is just behind the door.
15:22After the alarm goes off in the restaurant,
15:25Jason Ryder believes intruders have broken in.
15:30I figured I had to get into a fight,
15:32so I'm getting myself all pumped up,
15:34you know, all juiced up and everything else.
15:42I kick open the door, nobody's there.
15:45I'm like, oh, my God.
15:48I kick open the door, nobody's there.
15:59I go home.
16:01An hour later, the alarm goes off again.
16:03The alarm went off, like, five times that night.
16:18I pulled around your back door
16:21So get out from the front door till you stall
16:25You look like you're such a hassle
16:29I don't need you, so you need to leave
16:33Enough already!
16:38There he is!
16:40As the nightly bar scene at Ryder's picks up,
16:44Jason's secret grows even more difficult to keep.
16:52What the?
16:53The cue ball came up in the air
16:55and jumped over all the other balls and just hit the table.
17:01Listen, I didn't touch it.
17:02That is not okay.
17:04Guys, guys, I am so sorry.
17:06We are going to have to have this table checked
17:08to make sure that it's level.
17:10We chalked it up to the floors being unlevel that night or something.
17:13I didn't want to scare people.
17:14Okay, let's get up here.
17:16But the customers know what they saw.
17:21Later that same evening, a woman is in the ladies' restroom, alone.
17:33Hello?
17:39Is there anyone in here?
17:43No.
17:56Oh my God!
17:59I asked her if she was okay.
18:01And she couldn't talk to me at that point.
18:04She specifically said to me,
18:05I do not believe in heaven and I do not believe in hell.
18:08But I do not even know how to tell you what I just saw.
18:11You need to see something.
18:13She then asked me to please go into my bathroom and look at the wall.
18:20I am sorry.
18:21I don't know what to say.
18:27I was starting to feel hopeless.
18:30There were more and more people coming forward to me.
18:33And the more that people came forward to me,
18:35the more standoffish I was.
18:37Because not only could I not explain it to them,
18:40but I couldn't do anything to fix it.
18:51The paranormal pranks at Ryder's are no longer harmless.
18:55People are scared.
18:57Lynn and Jason are not sure how to solve the problem.
19:01They continue to run the restaurant as if nothing happened.
19:05I think my husband was frustrated because Jay is a fixer.
19:08And that's what he does.
19:09And he couldn't fix this.
19:11And I think that he didn't want to admit to me that he couldn't protect us.
19:16And I think that bothered him.
19:18Jason continues to do what he does best.
19:21Fix whatever is broken.
19:24On a 90 degree summer day,
19:26Jason is in the basement repairing a leaky pipe.
19:31As soon as I went in there, it was like just cold, dry air.
19:35Like death.
19:36I could see the smoke coming from my breath.
19:39And it was definitely not a cold day.
19:54Tita?
19:56Is that you?
19:59Barry?
20:01I would see, I would say shadows.
20:03Or I think I see somebody right there next to me.
20:05Or they kept being away.
20:06And I would look.
20:07They wouldn't be there.
20:08I knew I really saw something.
20:18Despite the tension,
20:20Lynn continues to go through the motions of her routine.
20:24But this morning will be unlike any other.
20:31Lynn Marie!
20:43Lynn Marie!
21:00Lynn Marie!
21:24For more A Haunting,
21:26go to destinationamerica.com
21:32Lynn Rider is trapped in the back of her restaurant.
21:42And the energy was tight.
21:44It was almost as if you couldn't breathe.
21:46There was really nowhere for me to go at that point
21:48because I was in the back corner of the building.
21:50And I was alone.
21:51It scared me.
21:57Ah!
22:02It's one thing to know that there's a presence.
22:04It's another thing to know that they know you're there.
22:09The fact that it knew my name,
22:11and not just my first name,
22:13it bothered me.
22:15That was something personal.
22:20Lynn reaches out to a friend for help.
22:23Clairvoyant and medium Karen Hollis.
22:25Lynn had a real sense that I wouldn't lead her astray.
22:28If she needed some type of therapy,
22:30I was going to send her to the right person.
22:32And if she needed the right paranormal investigative group,
22:35I would also be able to point her in the right direction.
22:39Karen arrives and takes a look around the entire restaurant,
22:43including the basement.
22:45My first feeling about it was it just felt heavy.
22:48The air felt heavy.
22:50When we had walked in, the room was ice cold.
22:53I got a sense of, why are you here,
22:56the minute I walked into the bar.
22:58Yep, this place is haunted.
23:00We've got something here.
23:06It's been my experience that mirrors,
23:09specifically antique mirrors,
23:11because they reflect back to us our own perceptions on reality,
23:15create doorways to other dimensions.
23:17And I thought to myself, oh yeah, that's the portal.
23:20That's where they're coming through.
23:22A portal is a doorway
23:25that can allow something from a different dimension
23:28to come into our particular plane of existence.
23:31Lynn.
23:32Karen recommends Lynn get rid of the mirror
23:35and that she contact a paranormal investigation team
23:38Karen works with.
23:40A week later,
23:41Karen and the ghosts of New England Research Society
23:45arrive after closing to investigate.
23:49Kurt Knapp runs the team.
23:51I was very excited to get an investigation underway there.
23:54At the same time, I was a little bit skeptical
23:57because it just seemed to be too much going on there for any one place.
24:02Before arriving, Kurt Knapp researches Riders' history.
24:07We always try to look at the place from a historic perspective
24:10to see what happened there.
24:12Because in New England, there are so many layers of history.
24:15He learns Riders was originally two residences built in the 1800s.
24:20Later joined together to become a feed store, paint store,
24:24and finally Maury's before Lynn and Jason took over.
24:28Town lore claims two deaths resulted from a fire in 1976.
24:34Could these be the ghosts haunting the bar?
24:37Kurt approaches his investigations with an open mind.
24:41We try to approach each investigation with a scientific method
24:44and also a psychic method.
24:46We don't discount the client's claims
24:48that we take them with a grain of salt,
24:50realizing that most clients are not trained observers.
24:53We got everything under control.
24:55Okay.
24:56I'll lock up.
24:57Okay, thank you.
24:58Joe and Karen, I want you to go into the basement.
25:01Mike, you and I are going to go to the kitchen.
25:03Okay.
25:04Let's go.
25:13There was a heaviness in the air.
25:16And the minute I turned the corner,
25:19I got a sense of an entity that was over my left shoulder.
25:31I know you're here.
25:33I can feel it.
25:35Please come forward.
25:46I'm so weak.
25:51I heard in real time, I'm so weak.
25:54When I asked telepathically, in what way are you weak,
25:58is it emotionally or physically, it answered both.
26:04And it was shocking.
26:06I heard it.
26:07We marked it.
26:08Disembodied voice.
26:10I knew at that point we had a very haunted bar.
26:14Karen senses several more spirits.
26:17But they will not communicate with her.
26:20I felt the presence of at least two separate entities.
26:23But many times when you're investigating a haunting,
26:26it feels like a game of hide and go seek.
26:28The energy moves, moves away from you.
26:31So it doesn't want to let you know that it's actually there.
26:35Investigators set up a laser grid in the basement
26:39to detect motion.
26:41We thought we'd do an impromptu EVP session
26:44in the dirt floor part of the cellar.
26:53I felt something tap me on the back of the head.
26:58I felt something tap me on the back of the head.
27:05I have movement in the grid.
27:15Kurt Knapp and the Ghosts of New England Research Society
27:19are looking for verifiable proof that Riders is haunted.
27:24I have movement in the grid.
27:32Suddenly, an investigator is in distress.
27:35What's wrong? What happened?
27:37I don't know what it was.
27:38He said it was like something just rushed right through me.
27:41He used the comparison of like throwing a handful of sand
27:44through a screen door.
27:45I think that he was trying to show us its power.
27:48That it could do things like this
27:50and we couldn't do anything about it.
27:52We were seeing and hearing these things for ourselves
27:55and there was absolutely no doubt in our mind
27:57that there was some serious paranormal activity
27:59happening at Riders.
28:00That night, Karen decides to do a clearing
28:04to communicate with spirits in the building
28:07and attempt to cross them over.
28:09We're going to use the tarot cards.
28:11The tarot cards provide Karen with an opportunity
28:14to communicate with the spirit through symbolism
28:17rather than trying to capture its voice again
28:19on a digital recorder.
28:22Can you tell us who you are?
28:25Why you're here?
28:29I immediately got the emperor card
28:32which would indicate a male energy.
28:35When I asked, how did you die?
28:38It gave me the hanged man, that he had hanged himself.
28:43Lynn is astonished.
28:45There was one patron who talked to my husband and us
28:49about when he was a little boy
28:51they used to work there
28:54and he had told us that there was someone
28:57who had died by hanging.
29:00When I asked, why do I feel that you are sad in some way?
29:04He gave me the three of swords,
29:06that he was divorced, separated, heartbroken,
29:09that there had been an issue.
29:10Do you want to leave?
29:12And when I asked him, do you want to leave?
29:14He gave me the sun card, yes.
29:17Okay, thank you.
29:19Now with your permission, I'm going to create a light
29:23and I want you to walk into it, do you understand?
29:31He says he wants to rest.
29:33He indicated to me that yes,
29:35he would be willing to take the chance to walk into it.
29:38I created the beam of light
29:40and then he just disappeared.
29:44He's gone.
29:49We had released one of the more frustrating entities,
29:53but given that the building has so much history,
29:56it certainly has more work.
29:57Karen believes at least one more entity remains in the building,
30:01but does not sense anything sinister.
30:04I can't say for sure that there aren't entities
30:08or an entity at Riders that wishes no one harm.
30:12I can say that we didn't receive any indication
30:16that Lynn would be in any danger.
30:18She did explain to me that there still could be
30:21other spirits that have not come forward yet.
30:24We're just going to have to wait and see.
30:27For the next three days,
30:29Riders feels like a normal place of business again.
30:33There are no paranormal incidents,
30:35but are the entities really gone?
30:38Late one night, Lynn and a bartender
30:41are closing the restaurant.
30:42Marcy, I think we had a really good night tonight.
30:44We did, we had a great night.
30:49Marcy!
30:50Marcy!
30:51Lynn!
30:52What happened?
30:53The glass blew off the shelf and smashed my hand!
30:56What are you talking about?
30:58As soon as that hit happened, the feeling just came back.
31:02Jason?
31:04I just saw Jason in the mirror.
31:07Marcy, Jason's at home.
31:09What?
31:10Jason's at home.
31:11What?
31:12Jason's at home.
31:14I just saw Jason in the mirror.
31:16Marcy, Jason's at home.
31:18He hasn't been here all evening.
31:19No, I just saw him.
31:20I swear I did.
31:22The feeling just came back.
31:23You don't really say anything to each other at that point,
31:26but we knew.
31:28We knew.
31:30Despite the indication there are active spirits
31:33in her restaurant again,
31:35Lynn is determined to go on with life as normal.
31:38I had invited a couple of my girlfriends over,
31:41and because I work so many hours,
31:43we were in the back.
31:44Let's talk about her new job.
31:46Yeah.
31:47Starting next week, we'll see.
31:49I'm ready to quit before I start.
31:51No!
31:52You can do it.
31:53I know you.
31:54You can do anything.
31:55You can do it.
31:56It's so nerve-wracking.
31:57But it's exciting, right?
31:59No, it's really exciting.
32:00It's really exciting.
32:01New opportunities and everything.
32:02We'll see.
32:03Good, good, good.
32:04Lynn, what are you doing?
32:07Lynn, talk to us.
32:09Lynn, are you okay?
32:12Lynn!
32:13Should we call an ambulance?
32:14I don't know what's going on.
32:16Oh, my God!
32:17Oh, my God!
32:18Lynn!
32:19It was not okay.
32:20That was like the last piece of protection I had,
32:22or felt I had,
32:24was to know that I had St. Michael watching over me.
32:27Lynn believes whatever is now haunting Riders
32:30is more aggressive than the spirits
32:33that plagued her restaurant before the clearing.
32:36At that point, I knew that the spirit
32:39that was crossed had nothing to do with
32:41what was really going on at Riders.
32:43We were dealing with something much bigger than ourselves.
32:50Over the next few days,
32:52Lynn notices another disturbing change at her restaurant.
32:56The building changed.
32:58It changed to oppressive and negative
33:02and a feeling of danger.
33:04Hey, can I get my beer?
33:06Lynn often bartends in the afternoon
33:08until the evening shift arrives.
33:10Hey, can I get a couple more beers over here?
33:12We need two over here.
33:14I've been waiting for my drink forever.
33:16This afternoon is unusually busy.
33:20The service is horrible here.
33:23She doesn't know what she's doing.
33:25The morgue is so far behind.
33:27I hope we don't lose the house.
33:29I don't like this drink.
33:30I hate my hair.
33:31The drink tastes terrible.
33:33My kids are getting bullied constantly.
33:35She's so slow.
33:36I don't even know why they keep her around.
33:38Lynn believes she's hearing everyone's thoughts.
33:43I started hearing people talking.
33:45They truly weren't speaking.
33:47In my mind, they were speaking.
33:49She's so slow.
33:50I don't even know why they keep her around.
33:51The service is horrible here.
33:52You can't protect your children.
33:54I don't like this drink.
33:55The drink tastes terrible.
33:57She doesn't know what she's doing.
33:59My kids are getting bullied constantly.
34:02She's so slow.
34:03I don't even know why they keep her around.
34:05Lynn Rider.
34:06An afternoon at work suddenly takes a dark turn.
34:10I was hearing people's thoughts directed at me.
34:13It was as if I was being attacked by 57 people.
34:17I was just hearing nasty, negative things about me.
34:20You can't protect your children.
34:22I don't like this drink.
34:23The drink tastes terrible.
34:24Your business is going under.
34:28At that point, I knew I had had it.
34:30I had to call my family to come in.
34:32Lynn?
34:33Lenny?
34:34Come on.
34:39Nobody can see you like this.
34:40This is crazy.
34:41It would be embarrassing and bad for the company.
34:43Nobody is going to the hospital.
34:46Nobody's going to the hospital.
34:51Lynn, I didn't say anything.
34:55You don't have to say anything.
34:58I can hear you.
35:01I can hear your thoughts.
35:03I was in a full-out breakdown in my office that night.
35:06My mind shut down and my body shut down,
35:09and I truly lost it all in one night.
35:15Jason convinces Lynn to take a break
35:17and stay away from the restaurant for a few days.
35:20I was worried about her.
35:22She's like my partner.
35:23She's part of the business.
35:24She's my partner in life.
35:26She's the mother of my children.
35:27Lynn, it's not worth it.
35:30Jason also tells Lynn it's time to give up their dream.
35:35The business is not worth it.
35:36I'd rather see her just let it all go.
35:39We've worked so hard.
35:42Something had to be done to relieve the pressure,
35:44a little bit of hope and prayer,
35:46and I don't think she was going to be able to come back out of it.
35:50Just think about it.
35:52Lynn knows she has to do something to help herself.
35:57A friend recommends Lynn contact
35:59a local psychic and spiritual healer, Pam Faith.
36:04I went to Pam to strengthen my energy again
36:08so that I could protect myself.
36:12It had nothing to do with the restaurant.
36:14It was me.
36:15I needed some clarity.
36:21But Pam immediately zeros in on the problems at Ryders
36:24and asks Lynn to see the restaurant.
36:28She said that we needed to deal with the building
36:31before I could deal with me personally.
36:35Pam asks that her identity remains hidden.
36:39I wanted to go to her business
36:42to remove and release the bad spirits, the bad demons,
36:46so she can get her life back.
36:49Pam believes something dangerous is now haunting Ryders.
36:55I'm sensing several spirits
37:01and a demonic presence.
37:05I believe it's in the basement
37:07and it's extremely dangerous.
37:12The dark ones, the negative ones,
37:14whatever terminology you want to use,
37:16their intention is to harm
37:18either physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
37:22The bad ones want to break you down.
37:25I believe we were dealing with demons.
37:27We weren't dealing with human spirits.
37:29I need you to stay here in constant prayer.
37:33Pam will attempt to clear each room in the restaurant with prayer
37:37and by encouraging the entity's presence to move on.
37:41Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
37:45God the Father.
37:46When you're dealing with regular spirits,
37:49they need help, healing, in other words.
37:52So I will help them to heal
37:56and go to where they're supposed to go on the other side.
38:01Pam Faith does the clearing ritual
38:03in each of the rooms on the main floor of the restaurant.
38:06She will confront the demon in the basement alone.
38:12When you're dealing with demons,
38:14that always puts you at a risk for being harmed or being attacked.
38:19Just because I have gifts doesn't mean I can't get hurt.
38:22She plans to find the demon
38:24and attempt to remove it from the building with prayer.
38:28I could feel the demon in the basement
38:32and I asked God to get rid of it.
38:35Father, Jordan Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
38:40For her own protection, Lynn stays upstairs praying.
38:46Jordan Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
38:49For her own protection, Lynn stays upstairs praying.
39:03Pam senses the demon.
39:09Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
39:12on earth as it is in heaven.
39:14Our Father, rid this place of its evil.
39:17Allow it to go.
39:19And give us this day our daily bread.
39:22Our Father, rid this place of its evil.
39:26Allow it to go.
39:28And forgive us our trespasses
39:30as we forgive those who trespass against us.
39:32Our Father, rid this place of its evil.
39:35And lead us not into temptation.
39:37Allow it to go.
39:39But deliver us from evil.
39:45I felt the major shift of energy
39:49in the basement once it was gone.
39:52What a difference in the room.
39:54You could breathe.
39:56For thine is the kingdom and the power
39:59and the glory forever.
40:01Amen.
40:07Lynn?
40:09It's gone.
40:11Yes, it is.
40:12It's gone.
40:13Yes, hopefully for good.
40:15But there's no way to know for sure.
40:18When she was done with the entire building,
40:22immediately, I felt like I could breathe.
40:25It looked brighter.
40:27It was as if I was walking into the building
40:29for the first time.
40:31There was nothing that I had ever felt.
40:34I was almost instantaneously at ease.
40:39Curt Knapp and his team.
40:41Lynn's paranormal troubles are over.
40:44But they fear the lack of activity in the restaurant
40:47is only temporary.
40:49I don't think the haunting is over at Ryder's at all.
40:52I think that there probably will always be
40:54some type of paranormal activity there.
40:58For Lynn, the experience has brought her closer to her family
41:02and made her a stronger person.
41:04I do feel that I'm stronger.
41:06It's strengthened my belief in God
41:09and my religion and my faith.
41:11After going through what I've been through,
41:15I can deal with it.
41:17It's only life.
41:19I think she's a better and stronger person now
41:22than she was when this all started.
41:28Once you deal with that type of entity,
41:30and especially a demonic force,
41:32there's always a way for them to get back in.
41:35I know that I will have to protect myself and my family
41:38the rest of my life.
41:44They don't forget your names.
41:46They don't forget who you are.
