Is there anyone here who'd like to talk with us?
[indistinct whispering]
What the hell was that?
[Jason Hawes] A haunted house on sacred ground.
[Sam Brooks] The big mound here had a temple on top.
-They found all sorts of bones. -Oh, wow.
[Mary] I saw this lady out in the yard.
And it scared us to death.
The house is haunted.
Whoa! The [bleep] light.
-Oh, something just blacked out. -Wow!
[Jason] As the team and Food Network's Stephanie Boswell...
I would love it if you could talk to me.
...facing sins of the past
Can you come close?
I'm hearing footsteps.
Where [bleep] is that coming from?
-[Stephanie] Oh, my God! -[Jason] Holy crap!
[country music playing]
[Jason] So, Mont Helena.
I mean, this is a really interesting location, Steve.
It's an old Native American ceremonial mound,
in the middle of farmland.
[over radio] Then they decided
to build a house on top of it.
Bad mojo. Bad mojo.
[Jason] TAPS is in Rolling Fork, Mississippi,
to investigate Mont Helena, a 19th-century manor house,
built atop a 1000-year-old ceremonial mound,
harboring chilling paranormal activity
that's been reported since the early 1900s.
Satori and Cody,
appreciate you guys joining us on this investigation.
-Hello, Cody and Satori. -[radio static]
[Satori over the radio] Thank you for having us.
[Jason] We're meeting up with Leslie Miller.
She leads a volunteer organization
that helps host events and keep up the property.
Now, I know they said that there are certain areas,
where she can't get the volunteers to go.
'Cause you never know where you are safe.
They are claiming to see apparitions of a man.
[over radio] People are being scratched.
[Jason] People are seeing this
full-bodied female apparition,
inside and outside of the property as well.
[Steve on radio] Joining us here, we have the renowned
pastry chef and judge, Stephanie Boswell
from the Halloween Baking Championship on Food Network.
-So, that would be cool to have her with us. -Nice.
[Steve on radio] She'll be joining us tomorrow.
Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
[Jason] I'm excited to get over there and see how we can help.
[eerie music playing]
-Holy smokes! -[Shari DeBenedetti] Oh, my God.
Don't drive off the edge of this.
[Shari] Oh, my God. I have a thing with hills.
[Satori] It's a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.
[music increases in tempo]
[Jason] TAPS case, Mont Helena. Rolling Fork, Mississippi.
[dramatic music continues]
-Hi, Leslie. Jason. -Hi, Jason.
-It's a pleasure to meet you. -Hi, I'm Steve.
It's good to see you, both of you.
What drew you to this property?
Well, this house, was a perfect Scooby Doo mansion on the hill,
when it was in bad repair.
[Jason] The current owner brought Leslie on
to manage the property in 2009
after decades of renovations.
She now oversees this event and performing arts venue,
with the help of other volunteers.
So, what's some of the history here, at Mont Helena?
This house was built in 1896.
Originally, was 1894, but...
the house burned to the ground the day
Helen and George Harris were gonna move in.
It took two more years to build this house.
[Jason] Helen, the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner,
married George, an episcopal priest, in 1862.
She inherited her father's cotton and corn plantation
that had been worked by enslaved people
until the end of the Civil War.
In 1896, Helen and George
moved into their newly-built home,
and named it Mont Helena.
Why would they build on top of a ceremonial mound?
Because at that time, yellow fever epidemic.
And there were a lot of mosquitoes in Mississippi.
And usually there's a breeze blowing up here.
So they felt like, may be that would help.
The floods come every few years,
-so that helped too. -Oh, wow, all right.
[Jason] Helen and George spent their retirement at Mont Helena
and both died in the upstairs bedroom.
George, in 1911 and Helen, in 1917.
Helen and George's two children inherited Mont Helena
and it stayed in the family until the mid-1900s.
It then fell into disrepair
and by the 1960s had been completely abandoned.
Exploring Mont Helena then became
a rite of passage for local teenagers...
with some of them experiencing chilling encounters.
1962-63, my friend and I
rode out here on our motorcycles.
We saw a woman in the sitting room window.
She had gray hair and a white gown.
That vision has been seared in my mind for...
60 years.
We were terrified.
[Jason] Another local also has frightening
Mont Helena memories from her childhood.
Three of us, including myself.
We decided to go at night, at 12 o'clock.
I saw this lady out in the yard.
She had a bucket in her hand that shined.
She threw her hand like this and she was waving,
and she asked us to come back.
And it scared us to death.
[Jason] Mary also reported seeing the walls covered in blood.
[Mary] I tell my grandbabies all the time...
the house is haunted.
We've heard that there are some volunteers of your organization
that feel quite uneasy in different places.
Where are these spots?
[Leslie] The back hallway by the back stairs.
We've heard people talking
when there was no one there.
I've seen somebody walking back there.
You have? You have experienced that?
He had on black pants and a dress coat.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jason] Volunteers have also had unnerving encounters
in the kitchen, just off that back hallway.
[Sarah Strong] I was here all by myself.
I heard two men's separate voices talking.
[unclear whispering]
[Sarah] And then I heard something like
aluminum pans falling to the floor.
After being here and having that experience,
I don't think I'll ever be here alone again.
[Jason] In the basement, people have heard
the unsettling sounds of chains rattling.
[chains rattling]
And on the second floor,
there are other strange noises.
People have heard footsteps...
[footsteps]
...and eerie voices when no one is there.
[whispering]
And in the second floor guest bedroom,
a volunteer has also seen a male apparition.
There are also claims of a more aggressive entity,
that pushes, scratches and touches people.
Upstairs, I would often have
this feeling of fingers on my head,
and just going through my hair. It's scary.
It feels like they can do anything that they wanted.
So, sounds like pretty much, activity is throughout the whole property.
Yeah. I think the more active the house is,
-the more active-- -The activity is.
...the activity is, yes.
So, what are you hoping that we are able to accomplish here?
We all just wonder what we are experiencing.
[Steve] We know a lot of your volunteers are scared.
So, we will definitely try our hardest
to get all of those kind of answers for you, for sure.
I think, from here we'll go talk to the rest of the crew.
Start figuring out camera placement,
-and go from there. -[Steve] Yeah.
-Thank you so much. -I'll look forward to finding out...
-what's going on. -We hope we can too.
This is great information. Thank you.
[grave instrumental music playing]
Hey, guys. How did it go?
-[Steve] It went good. -Yeah.
Leslie claims to have seen
a full-bodied apparition of a man.
Other people are hearing guys having a conversation
when nobody else was here.
-Hmm. -[Jason] Footsteps banging.
Is there one spot in particular that has
-most of the activity? -There's not one spot.
-I mean, there's everywhere. -It's everywhere.
-Wow. -We got a lot of ground to cover.
And I say, we start to get everything set up.
-Okay. -Investigate it.
-Mmm-hmm. -Let's do it.
[Jason] There's a lot of different questions
that come up as we are looking at this property.
People have died in and around this property.
And the house was built on a ceremonial mound.
We need to really look into that,
because that could be fueling the activity.
That's pan left.
Looks great.
[Jason] I'm happy that we've got my daughter, Satori
and Cody here with us investigating.
They have their own techniques
and a lot of times it's beared fruit.
Our technique is rather different
than a regular investigating technique.
Can you give me loud knocks?
One for yes, two for no.
When we come in physical contact,
it enables anybody that maybe
passed on or transitioned
to communicate intelligently.
[Cody] There's just so much history and so many possibilities,
maybe we'll have really great results
with the technique that we use.
Got it.
-All set up. -Yeah, that's quite nice.
We have cameras set up in every area
that has seen an apparition and then some.
We've cameras in the front parlor,
the kitchen in the back hallway.
Upstairs, we have the landing,
and the guest bedroom
where they've seen the male apparition.
This place is covered,
-from top to bottom. -That's good.
The sun is on its way down, that's for sure.
I think we're pretty much all set.
We can get the lights out and get ready to investigate.
Shari and I will head into the house.
-Satori and Cody, why don't you two take the basement? -[Satori] Okay.
[Steve] Dave and I will man center command.
-Let's do it. -Let's get the lights off.
[eerie music playing]
Jay and Shari,
heading into Mont Helena.
[Shari] This is the front entrance,
where they saw blood on the wall,
and they hear footsteps and also lot of voices.
[Jason] Hello?
Is there anyone here from the Harris family?
[Shari] Helen, you inherited this land from your father and retired here.
What can you tell us?
[Jason] Helen?
George?
Is there anybody here?
[indistinct voice]
Oh!
Did you just hear the voice?
[Shari] Is that upstairs?
Listen.
[indistinct voice]
[Shari whispers] Right up there.
[Jason] Hello?
Helen?
George?
Are you trying to scare anybody who comes in here?
[footsteps]
[music intensifies]
[door opening]
Yep, looks like a basement to me.
It looks like a creepy basement.
[Cody] This is Satori and Cody in the basement.
People have heard chains rattling down here.
[Satori] Okay.
-We should do our method and see if that works? -Yeah.
[Satori] Anybody hears me right now?
When we come into contact,
we'll be able to hear you, if you want to talk.
-Ready? -Yeah.
Hello?
[knocks]
-[Cody] What the hell was that? -[Satori] What was that?
[dramatic music playing]
[eerie music playing]
It's coming from that back hole.
We're gonna play a game.
One for yes, two for no. Okay?
Are you with this house?
[knocks twice]
No, okay.
Are you with the land?
[knocks twice]
Are you somebody that passed away close by?
-[knocks twice] -No.
[whispers]
[footsteps]
[Jason] Well, check this out.
Old dresses, period-type clothing.
Honestly, I think you should put something on
that might be familiar to the time.
[Shari] All right, I'll put it on.
-[Jason] It's a great investigation outfit. -Yeah.
-This is style. -[chuckles]
[Jason] You should definitely keep the dress on
and I'm gonna take this off.
If there are guys here,
they'd be more prone to talk to you.
[Shari] George?
It's Helen.
Can you come out and talk to me?
I'm looking for you.
This is the bedroom where they see
a male apparition walking around in the room.
[Jason] Is there anyone here who'd like to talk with us?
[Shari] George? Is that you that they're seeing?
You can also show yourself to us at any time.
[indistinct voice]
[Jason] What the hell was that?
Did you hear the voice?
[Shari] I heard that.
[Jason] That was like a female voice.
[Jason] Helen, is that you? Can you say something again?
[Shari] Is this George?
What about Helen?
-[indistinct] -Oh!
There you go. And it's back there.
George, are you here with us too?
[Jason] It's quiet now.
-Let's switch up with Dave and Steve. -[Shari] Okay.
[Jason over radio] Jay to Steve.
Go, Steve.
[Jason over radio] We're on our way out.
Why don't you and Dave check out first floor?
Copy that.
[Steve] This is Steve and Dave in the sitting room.
[Dave] This is where they've seen an apparition
of an older woman from outside.
Hello?
Some of the staff members and the volunteers here,
they're having kind of a rough time.
People are afraid of going into certain rooms.
Leslie told us, the house is more active,
-when the house is more active. -Hmm, I like it.
You know, so I wonder, if we...
implement a technique where
-we are just making noise. -Yeah.
[both shouting] Hello, hey!
[Dave] Harris family, we're here!
Where are you?
[Dave] Do you know, what you built your mansion on?
Helen!
[Steve] Hello!
-[indistinct voice] -Ooh...
My first instinct was,
something saying hello back.
-[indistinct] -Oh, it's...
-There's something there. -It's there, it sounds...
-human a little bit, Dave. -Yeah. It's not us.
[Satori] Come closer. 'Cause we'll be able to hear you better.
If you wanna talk, leave a message.
[knocks]
Hello?
Can you answer?
Please?
[Cody] It's so quiet.
You have to be very loud. Come close.
If I feel it on my feet, I'll even hear you, okay?
Helen?
George?
Hello?
[sudden dramatic music]
Helen?
[Dave] George, we're near your office.
I honestly have the feeling that
the house has run its course for the evening.
[Dave] Yeah, it got really quiet.
-All right, let's check in with the team. -[Steve] Okay.
[whistling]
[Dave] Did you just whistle?
Did you go... [whistles]
-[Dave] Did nobody whistle? -[Steve] No.
[Dave] I mean, that's a whistle.
-[Steve] That's a whistle. -[whistles]
It's like, where you going?
[Dave] Unbelievable.
[whistling]
[Steve] I think someone wants us to go back inside.
[Dave] I'm feeling like there's something here
that's intelligent and is waiting for us.
[Steve] We were about to leave,
and it seems like you wanted us to stay.
[Dave] Can you do that whistle one more time?
Hmm.
[Steve] Steve for TAPS.
[Jason over radio] Go ahead.
[Steve] Why don't we all regroup?
[Jason] All right, 10-4.
Good first night.
[Dave] We were right about to leave.
And I heard a whistle.
-[Jason] That's awesome. -Yeah, I mean...
There's a lot of information
we still don't know about the location.
May be a historian, if we can get in touch with somebody.
[Steve] Or even an archaeologist.
Archaeologist, that would be awesome.
Yeah. I can also reach out
to Chris and Aaron tomorrow
from Mohawk nation,
-and at least find out about this whole ceremonial mound. -Awesome.
All right, we've had a great night.
We all know who we've got to reach out to tomorrow.
-Let's start wrapping up for the night. -Good job, guys.
[Jason] While Satori, Cody and Shari
review last night's evidence...
-I don't know. -Can I listen?
That one's weird.
...I'm reaching out to my friends,
who belong to the Mohawk nation,
to get their perspective on the Native American culture
and traditions that would have once existed here.
Hey, Chris, Aaron. Thanks for joining me, man.
-Hey, how's it going, buddy? -How you doing?
Good. I wanted to get some information on these mounds,
and I figured, you guys are gonna be the best to reach out to.
What tribes would have built the mounds out here?
It's hard to say because there's no documentation.
We don't even know, who those people were
-they were just known as the Mound Builders. -Yeah.
But if you could transport yourself 1,000 years ago,
you'd be surrounded by thousands of people.
There was probably a village. A lot of life happened there.
All the emotions,
all the prayers, all the happy times,
all the war times, it's gotta be still there.
[Jason] While I continue to talk to Chris and Aaron,
Steve and Dave are meeting with Sam Brooks...
-Sam! -Hi.
[Jason] ...an archaeologist who specializes in
the pre-Columbian indigenous people of the region.
What can you tell us about these mounds?
Yeah, there were two other mounds here.
They have been destroyed.
There are different types of mounds.
They are burial mounds.
The big mound here,
this was the biggest one in the group.
It had a temple on top, and ceremonies held there.
-So, the most sacred would be this mound. -Yes.
[Jason] So, what kind of ceremonies
were they doing on the ceremonial mounds?
Harvest ceremonies.
For a good crops and all that stuff.
-Gotcha. -It'd be like going to church.
-You know what I mean? You're there, you give thanks. -Uh-huh.
You pray.
And then with their own funeral practices
or rites that they had,
they'd probably do a funeral on the ceremonial mound,
and then bring their loved one to the burial mound.
Gotcha, okay. How should we show the utmost respect?
While doin' the investigation
just... put in mind the recent history.
-Yeah. -You know, because that adds to it.
They're there too.
There are people ones too, and if you acknowledge them
you'll probably get some stuff.
[Sam] When this house was built,
I've heard they found all sorts of bones.
So, there is a chance that
there could have been some burials?
There is a possibility.
Occasionally, in these flat-top temple mounds,
people might be buried in 'em, very rarely.
Have you ever seen anything like this before,
shaving off some of a mound and building a house?
-Absolutely, because flooding was a major concern back then. -[Dave] Mmm.
Many of the mounds that were saved,
are here only because they either had a structure on 'em,
or because they had a cemetery on 'em.
[Dave] Oh! Wow!
Well, Sam. Thank you so much. It was an honor to meet you.
-Really, it was. -Thank you. I appreciate your interest in it.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Jason] We now have a better understanding
of the Native American ceremonial mound,
and the energy that may remain from centuries ago.
Tonight, we'll be joined by
pastry chef Stephanie Boswell,
a judge on Food Network's Halloween Baking Championship.
This is flipping delicious.
[Jason] Stephanie loves all things Halloween,
and is a big fan of TAPS.
Yay!
[Jason] She's always wanted to investigate a haunted location
since having a childhood paranormal experience.
-[Stephanie] Hey, guys! -Hey!
-[Dave] Hey, how are you? -[Jason] Stephanie Boswell!
-Food Network! What's going on? -Hi!
-I made it. [chuckles] -You did make it.
[Jason] Thanks for coming out.
Let's get you caught up before we start investigating.
-Okay. -So, what you're standing on right now
is actually a ceremonial mound
-that's over 1,000 years old. -Cool.
[Stephanie] I love the idea of communicating with people
who are no longer here. I think there's something...
hopeful and beautiful about that.
That's what's making me
really enthusiastic and really excited
to be here and see if there's any answers
to those questions that are always kind of looming
over all of our heads.
-All right, yeah. Let's get everything set... -[Dave] Yes.
-...and, uh, get investigating tonight. -[Dave] Okay.
[eerie music playing]
[Jason] We begin tonight's investigation
with Satori and Cody on the second floor,
while Stephanie, Steve and I,
investigate claims on the first floor.
Shari and Dave will watch the monitors for any activity.
[Jason] Helen Harris...
Are you here with us?
Is there anything you can tell us
about living at Mont Helena?
[noise in distance]
Somebody just opened a door?
[Steve] I heard that.
Hello!
Reverend Harris?
We'd love to talk to you.
Are you here in this house?
[Jason] I mean there's claims of activity
all through the kitchen too.
[Steve] Yes, there is.
[Stephanie] Yeah, let's go check out the kitchen.
I have never baked in a haunted kitchen before.
-[Steve] That could be quite interesting. -[Stephanie] Yeah.
[eerie music playing]
[Satori] So, we are currently in the bedroom
where Helen and Reverend George...
[Cody] Place this on the ground.
...had passed away.
So if anyone can hear me,
my name is Satori,
and this is Cody.
Feel free to come forward and stomp your feet,
and I promise we'll hear you, okay?
-Ready? -Yeah.
[footsteps approaching]
[eerie music playing]
-[Satori] Is somebody walking? -I don't know.
[Satori] Helen? George?
[suspenseful music playing]
It sounded like somebody came in through that doorway.
Sounded like heavy footsteps, though.
I need you to give me two really loud stomps.
Let me know you understand me.
-One... two! -[foot stomping]
Can I ask your first name?
I'll go through the alphabet, you knock on the letter.
I'll restart, you knock on the second letter.
We'll spell out a word.
A, B, C, D,
E, F, G,
-H... -[stomps]
A, B, C, D,
-E... -[stomps]
Is this somebody by the name of Helen?
-[stomps] -Yes. Helen.
Did you try talking to another woman here
that wore a really nice dress at one point?
[entity speaking indistinctly]
[Shari] Helen Harris, are you here?
[stomps]
Yeah, well, guess what? I think we caught your voice.
-Are you trying to spell Helen? -[stomps]
Okay, first word...
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H, I, J, K, L, M, N,
O, P, Q, R, S,
-T, U, V, W... -[stomps]
[Cody] W.
[Satori] A, B, C, D, E, F...
[eerie music playing]
[Jason] Somebody was in the kitchen,
and they saw a man in a black suit.
[Stephanie] And there was reports of, like, two men
-talking in here, right? -[Jason] Yeah.
A lady heard two men having a discussion, but...
there was nobody in the house when that happened.
[mumbles indistinctly]
[eerie sound]
[Jason] Helen? Was that you?
[eerie sound]
-Yeah, I just heard that. -Walking. That's what I heard.
[suspenseful music plays]
[stomps]
-A, B... Baby? -[stomps]
-With your baby? -[stomps]
-[Satori] Okay, did they pass away young? -[stomps]
Can you tell me how old they were
when they passed away?
[stomping repeatedly]
-Ten? -[stomps]
-He was only ten? -[stomps]
-Ten years? -[stomps]
-Months? -[stomps twice]
-Days? -[stomps]
-[Cody] Ten days? -[stomps]
Wow. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm hearin' footsteps.
[distorted footsteps]
[both] Coming from the hallway.
[gasps]
-Shuffling up. -Yeah.
Like, somebody just walking right above us.
It did sound like it was coming from above.
-Yeah. -Creaking. Like, floorboards.
[Stephanie] I'm really spooked!
[Satori] Helen, is there somebody else with you?
[Jason over radio] Jay for Cody.
Are you guys walking around up there?
We're hearing footsteps.
[Cody] That's not us. We're hearing footsteps too.
[Stephanie] That's unsettling.
[Jason] All right, 10-4.
[haunting music playing]
[Satori] Can I ask who this is?
[eerie music playing]
-[Jason] I don't hear any footsteps or anything. -[Steve] No.
Hey, guys,
we're gonna come upstairs.
Why don't you two go investigate the claims
on the grounds?
Perfect, thanks. All right. Let's go.
[Jason] Is anyone upstairs?
[Steve] On the second floor, they're claiming to see
the apparition of a man,
and some women are getting touched.
[Jason] George?
Are you the man that's been seen inside the house?
Do you realize that you're scaring some people here?
[Stephanie gasps] Oh, my God!
[Steve screaming] Holy crap! Oh! [bleep]
I didn't mean to scream.
When I see a spider, it just happens.
Not with ghosts.
[Stephanie] That is a very, very upsetting thing to see.
[Jason] Yeah, I mean, he is a big boy.
[Stephanie softly] Don't look up.
Why do they design their webs that spooky looking?
[whispering] Oh, God! They've taken over.
[Jason] This is where we were when we got to Helen.
What about Helen?
-[stomps] -[Jason] Oh!
Helen, you were talking with us last night.
Can you talk with us again?
We spoke to some of our friends
in the Native American community today.
Maybe you're sad about
some of the things that happened here.
Are there any Native Americans here?
So, if Shari got that the other night...
I mean, we got Steph here.
She's a female. Maybe... we go for a walk?
See if something talks with her.
All right, we won't be far, but...
Honestly, I'm more worried about the spiders.
I would love to have a conversation with a ghost
-at this point. -[Jason] All right.
[Stephanie sighs]
We try to build a rapport with whoever is here.
You know, things that you think
maybe they would remember.
The beauty of the home...
That's how to get them to interact with you.
[Jason] You might feel funny,
but the minute you start talking,
it goes a lot easier.
-[Stephanie] Okay. -[Jason] Any issue,
-just key up and we could be back in, you know, 30 seconds. -Okay.
We'll be, uh, nearby.
Helen?
If you're here... I would love it
if you could talk to me.
This is completely terrifying.
[haunting music playing]
[Cody] Here's the tree.
[owl hooting]
There's reports of
seeing a woman out here with a bucket.
-[Satori] Mmm-hmm. -But she's pickin' pecans off the tree
They saw the woman waving them over,
kinda as a warning.
Oh, miss...
Some people told us they may have seen you
when the house was abandoned.
Were you trying to warn them about something?
I just wanna know your name.
[Satori] On the mound, I felt, not a bad feeling.
-[Cody] Yeah. -But, I came down here,
and I feel like I just wanna cry.
-[Cody] Really? -And I don't know why.
[Satori] Maybe we should go to the mound.
-[Cody] All right. You all right? -Yeah, it's just weird.
[Cody] All right, well, let's see if the feeling changes
once we get back up there.
[suspenseful music playing]
I would love to hear your story.
[Jason over radio] Stephanie?
Go for Stephanie.
-[Jason over radio] You alright? -[Stephanie] Yeah. I'm good.
[Stephanie over radio] I've had to take a lot of
long measured breaths
-to settle myself. -[Jason over radio] Okay.
-[eerie sound] -Oh!
I heard that for sure.
[eerie sound]
-Oh! -That's... That was in here, for sure.
Hey, did you just hear that sound?
[Stephanie] Yeah, it was a definite creak.
I just assumed it was you guys.
[Jason over radio] No, we're sitting motionless here.
[eerie sound]
That was that same noise.
Hello?
[ominous music playing]
[Satori] Yeah, I feel a lot better.
I feel completely different than standing down there.
-Isn't that strange? -I feel more comfortable up here.
Well, if there's anybody out here,
we've come... a long ways just to say hello and...
and meet you.
Is there a reason why it feels sad
down in the field by the tree?
[owl hooting]
[Cody] Tell the current owners who you are,
and they will continue to keep your memory alive.
[cacophonous music playing]
Hello?
We've, sort of, just sat still here,
and it seems like you might want us to...
move around and talk to you.
[eerie sound]
-[whispering] You heard that? -[Steve] Talking.
Definitely heard that.
[breath trembling]
[eerie sound]
Creaks on the stairs.
Oh! Look! Look [bleep] light!
Oh, and look, something just blacked out.
[Steve exclaims] Wow!
[thrilling music playing]
[ominous music playing]
Where the [bleep] is that coming from?
See there's nothing here.
-[Steve] Nothing up there? -[Jason] Yeah, come here.
-[Jason] Hey. -Hey.
Did you happen to see a light on this wall?
[Stephanie] Yeah.
I just assumed it was you guys' flashlights.
We thought it was your flashlight.
-[Jason] Okay. -[Steve] It kept on
illuminating over here and then it would look like
somebody was walking by it.
[Stephanie] I just assumed you guys were coming up the stairs.
[Jason] No.
[Steve] Can you tell if it's coming from a source
or if it's just an illumination of some sort?
[Jason] No. What the hell!
[Steve] It might not be a bad time
to get to some reviewing.
[Jason] Yeah. Hey, guys. I think at this point,
get the lights on, get wrapped up.
[Dave] Copy.
[ominous music playing]
[switches clicking]
-[Jason] Hey. -[Shari] Hey!
[Jason] All right. Hey.
[Stephanie] Hello!
Yeah, we had some neat stuff.
[Cody] That's good.
[Steve] This was awesome.
Hey, it's been a pleasure hanging out.
Oh, thank you so much for having me.
Can I come back?
[Steve] Yeah, of course you can.
[Jason] You're always welcome back.
[Stephanie] I heard footsteps, I saw lights.
I heard men's voices talking to each other
outside the doorway.
I think my first ghost hunt went really well.
Doing it with the TAPS crew, the OG...
What better way... to do a ghost hunt?
Our time here at Mont Helena, has come to an end.
We had some really interesting things happen.
Uh, we heard some voices.
Uh, Tango, uh, and I heard some whistling.
The house did call us back in,
but now we need to wrap our heads around
evidence that we have,
uh, to see what we are going to bring back here to Leslie.
-[door slams] -[ominous music playing]
So, we'll get over there, we'll sit down with Leslie.
Show her what we found, and, uh, go from there.
-[Steve] I think she's gonna find a lot of it intriguing. -Absolutely.
[suspenseful music playing]
I gotta say, thank you so much for entrusting,
uh, Mont Helena to us.
We were able to find out a lot of history
about the place.
We were able to connect with an archaeologist.
He told us that
without this beautiful house here preserved,
the mound would likely just be forgotten about.
It may have even been dismantled.
[Leslie] I didn't know that.
But in the grand scheme of things
it's not as disrespectful as we originally thought.
When we came in, we set up our surveillance
and we had multiple teams coming through here.
We were able to have a lot of the experiences
-that you guys had. -Mmm-hmm.
We were getting the interactions mostly when
we were bringing up George and Helen.
Now, we were able to record some of that phenomena.
My daughter, Satori, and Cody, they have their own technique
where they go and they try to communicate
through a series of knocks,
and while they were doing it, a woman came through,
in the upstairs master bedroom...
[Satori] Is this somebody by the name of Helen?
-[stomps] -Yes.
...and said... her name was Helen,
and she says, "I'm with my baby that died young."
Uh, died like ten days old, I'm not sure if that
is it anything you know about?
Yes, they did have one child that died as an infant.
Okay.
And one time, uh, Jay and Shari were investigating upstairs,
and what's really quite interesting is,
a voice comes through.
It's saying something that leads us to believe that
it does have intelligence,
and knows that we are here.
[Shari over speakers] ...show yourself to us at any time.
[voice over speakers] I don't see them...
I hear it.
It's a voice saying, " I don't see them."
[Shari] And you can also show yourself to us
at any time.
[voice speaking]
-And this was upstairs? -This was upstairs
-in the second floor, yeah. -Okay.
It makes you wonder, who are they talking to?
If they are talking to Jay or Shari,
and then say, "I don't see you."
-You know, so, to hear a voice like that... -Mmm-hmm.
...that acknowledges what we are doing in the environment,
is quite phenomenal, yeah.
So, this next piece again,
Shari and I were investigating.
We were upstairs on the second floor,
-pretty much right above us. -Uh-huh.
In... In the bedroom.
And, she called out, "Helen," and I go, "Oh!"
And, but there's something right after that,
-that we'd like you to listen to. -Okay.
[Jason] Here you go. This is the thing, here.
-Hear that voice? -[Leslie] Mmm-hmm.
-[Jason] Here you go. This is the thing, here. -Okay, heard it.
-[Jason] Here you go. This is the thing... -Uh-huh.
[Jason] Here you go. This is the thing, here.
Is it... Helen,
letting us know, "Hey, it's me, Helen."
That could be.
Now, before Shari and I headed upstairs,
we were standing at the bottom of the stairs,
and there was another voice that...
came through.
I can play it as many times as you need me to, so...
[distorted]
-Sounds like a man, not a woman to me. -No, that's a man.
-That's definitely male. -[Leslie] Okay.
And almost sounds like it's saying,
you know, "Come up here."
As if it was trying to guide us up there.
[distorted]
We were reviewing DVR.
We saw something that was a self-illuminating presence,
or maybe an illumination of sorts,
with no real... source that we could find.
You'll be looking right here in the doorway.
[eerie music playing]
-You see that, how it just walks. -[Leslie] I saw it, yeah.
-Almost as if something walks... -Uh-huh.
...out of the doorway into the dining room.
And that's the only time it happens
through the whole time we're here.
Nobody was here, I mean,
-it was... it was late. -Mmm-hmm.
Everybody was gone, so...
Could be the man I saw. [chuckles nervously]
Could be.
[Steve] It was a great investigation,
and it does seem like Helen and George never left.
It just didn't seem like anything here...
was the least bit malicious.
And we don't think that the activity is in any way
fueled by the mound itself.
We just hope that what we found here,
leaves you in a better position
and being able to say, "This isn't scary."
This is actually intriguing and cool.
[Leslie] It has been scary, so thank you.
And if anybody feels threatened,
or scared, just give was a shout.
I mean, we can come back.
Thank you for having us.
It's a piece of history, uh, that we're happy
to have been able to soak in and learn more about.
I'm glad y'all came.
[thrilling instrumental music playing]
[Leslie] I'm happy with the investigation
that TAPS did on the house.
It really helped me learn
a lot more about the occurrences.
I was surprised that Helen could be here,
that maybe some of her energy is still here.
And this is just such a lovely home.
I wouldn't want people to come and think
that they would be threatened coming inside of it.
So, Mont Helena. Man... This was a great case.
The evidence was great,
but the history was so intriguing.
-But I learned a lot. -Yeah, I did too.
I mean, having Stephanie Boswell out,
from the Food Network, that was great.
Yeah, she jumped right in.
Having Cody and Satori out, I think, was a big help.
This was definitely a great investigation,
and I look forward to many more.
Yes. Absolutely.
Well, on to the next, brother.
