1
00:00:05,867 --> 00:00:08,066
[eerie music playing]
2
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:11,734
[Jessica] Is anybody
missing their miner's tag?
3
00:00:13,467 --> 00:00:15,433
Could you please
give me a sign?
4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:19,033
[clanking]
5
00:00:19,867 --> 00:00:21,066
Did you hear that?
6
00:00:21,066 --> 00:00:23,200
[music increases in tempo]
7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,033
[Josh] On this episode
of Expedition X...
8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,266
my team visits
an Old West ghost town...
9
00:00:30,266 --> 00:00:32,100
[Phil] Look at the condition
of this place.
10
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:33,800
[Josh] ...where spirits
of the gold rush
11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,867
are reportedly staking
a hostile claim,
12
00:00:36,867 --> 00:00:39,367
making the present
just as dangerous
13
00:00:39,367 --> 00:00:41,600
as the town's
Wild West past.
14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,667
[man] A lot of people
see the woman
in the black dress.
15
00:00:46,767 --> 00:00:50,200
We really want to get
into some of the mines.
16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,767
[man] I'd recommend
not going into the mines.
17
00:00:52,867 --> 00:00:53,834
They're very dangerous.
18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,233
Water'll shut off.
The power'll shut off.
19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,934
Something is messing
with me.
20
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:08,767
Here, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty, kitty.
21
00:01:08,767 --> 00:01:10,300
[clicking tongue repeatedly]
22
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:12,667
-[cat meowing]
-[both shriek]
23
00:01:12,667 --> 00:01:15,934
[exhilarating instrumental
music playing]
24
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,567
So I received a phone call
from a guy named
Brent Underwood.
25
00:01:25,567 --> 00:01:27,867
and he would very much
like for the two of you
26
00:01:27,867 --> 00:01:31,100
to come investigate
his town called
Cerro Gordo.
27
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:33,967
So this guy wants us
to come investigate
his home town.
28
00:01:33,967 --> 00:01:37,433
No, no. When I say his town,
I mean the town that he owns.
29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,700
Wait, he owns
his own town?
30
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,400
Yes, he owns his own town
but here's the thing.
31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,900
Uh, it is a very remote,
mountainous, 150-year-old
32
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,200
former Gold Rush era
mining town
33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,000
that is now a ghost town.
34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,266
And Brent is very worried
that his ghost town
35
00:01:55,266 --> 00:01:57,867
may be a literal
town of ghosts.
36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,667
[Josh] 1848, the California
gold and silver rush begins.
37
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:09,200
In the ensuing years,
over 250,000 people
38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,600
head west from
all over America
39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,066
and around the world,
40
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:14,567
hoping to get rich.
41
00:02:14,567 --> 00:02:18,166
A few lucky prospectors do.
Most don't.
42
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:20,367
And many die
along the way.
43
00:02:20,367 --> 00:02:22,867
Often in 'anything goes'
mining towns
44
00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:26,033
where money is plentiful
but lives are cheap.
45
00:02:26,767 --> 00:02:28,734
Cerro Gordo
is one of those towns,
46
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:32,000
built high
in the Inyo Mountains
47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,634
to take advantage
of its rich seams of minerals.
48
00:02:35,567 --> 00:02:37,767
The prospectors there
first mine silver,
49
00:02:37,767 --> 00:02:39,400
then move on to zinc,
50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,367
with Cerro Gordo becoming
the largest producer
of zinc carbonate in America.
51
00:02:44,367 --> 00:02:46,667
All in all, they mine
precious metals
52
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:50,367
worth an astounding
$17 million dollars
at the time.
53
00:02:50,367 --> 00:02:53,100
Or around $300 million today.
54
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,767
It's a 'work hard,
play harder' town.
55
00:02:55,767 --> 00:02:58,800
At its peak,
the population
is over 4,000,
56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,700
with seven saloons
and three brothels.
57
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:03,700
But no law enforcement.
58
00:03:03,700 --> 00:03:06,800
It also boasts
a shocking amount
of bloodshed,
59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,100
averaging a murder
per week,
60
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:12,767
with residents reportedly
sleeping surrounded by
sand bags
61
00:03:12,767 --> 00:03:15,166
to protect themselves
from stray bullets.
62
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,567
And if the other inhabitants
don't kill you,
63
00:03:18,567 --> 00:03:20,767
the mining just might,
64
00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:25,066
with hundreds of miners
just buried alive from
cave-ins and gas explosions.
65
00:03:26,066 --> 00:03:27,834
[explosion]
66
00:03:30,667 --> 00:03:34,400
In 1957, the veins
finally run dry.
67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,600
And when the mining dies,
so does the town.
68
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,667
Cerro Gordo and its mines
lay dormant for almost
70 years
69
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:45,867
until it's sold
for $1.4 million in 2018.
70
00:03:45,867 --> 00:03:48,567
The lucky buyer
is Brent Underwood.
71
00:03:50,266 --> 00:03:52,000
But as soon
as Brent arrives,
72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,567
he and his visitors
begin to experience
frightening activity
73
00:03:55,567 --> 00:03:58,367
all around the town
and its mines.
74
00:03:58,367 --> 00:04:00,600
Inexplicable feelings
of dread,
75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,500
hearing terrifying sounds,
76
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:05,867
seeing full-bodied
apparitions,
77
00:04:05,867 --> 00:04:10,100
including repeated sightings
of a mysterious woman
in black.
78
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,567
[eerie music playing]
79
00:04:14,567 --> 00:04:17,867
The disturbing activity
seems to only be
getting worse.
80
00:04:17,867 --> 00:04:20,900
Cerro Gordo recently saw
an unexplainable fire
81
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:22,967
burn down three buildings.
82
00:04:22,967 --> 00:04:24,166
On the night of the fire,
83
00:04:24,166 --> 00:04:26,567
a ghostly figure
is reportedly seen
84
00:04:26,567 --> 00:04:29,567
impossibly appearing
and disappearing.
85
00:04:29,567 --> 00:04:33,667
Brent has his life savings,
and perhaps his life,
on the line.
86
00:04:33,667 --> 00:04:37,266
If he loses the town,
he truly loses everything.
87
00:04:37,266 --> 00:04:38,667
He needs urgent help.
88
00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:42,600
Is Cerro Gordo's violent past
pushing into the present?
89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,834
Is Brent's ghost town haunted?
90
00:04:49,166 --> 00:04:50,667
What do you think?
91
00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:53,667
I mean, it doesn't surprise me
at all to hear that this place
is haunted.
92
00:04:53,667 --> 00:04:56,100
I mean, it is
the Wild Wild West, right?
93
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,667
And mining towns were known
for their robberies,
their murders, their violence.
94
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:03,567
In particular,
I want to check out
these mines.
95
00:05:03,567 --> 00:05:05,367
If that many people
died in there,
96
00:05:05,367 --> 00:05:07,467
and their bodies
were left unrecovered,
97
00:05:07,467 --> 00:05:09,667
I mean, that's Haunting 101
right there.
98
00:05:09,667 --> 00:05:11,467
What about you?
99
00:05:11,467 --> 00:05:14,600
Growing up in Colorado,
I've visited my fair share
of these ghost towns.
100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,100
And they're spooky places.
101
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:17,567
You said this one's
pretty remote.
102
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:21,166
This place is very
remote, high altitude.
It's up at like 9,000 feet.
103
00:05:21,166 --> 00:05:24,166
I guess my big hold-up
here is that it's
in the name, Josh.
104
00:05:24,166 --> 00:05:26,000
-It is a ghost town.
-[Josh] Right.
105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,100
So when people go there
and experience things,
106
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:31,000
they're gonna try
to interpret it through
a paranormal lens.
107
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,900
And that 9,000 feet
that you talked about,
108
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,467
that's pretty high elevation.
109
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:37,667
And humans at that elevation
are essentially deprived
of oxygen.
110
00:05:37,667 --> 00:05:39,400
And they can go through
a form of psychosis
111
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,400
where they see things
that aren't there or feel
like they're being chased.
112
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,967
You think the altitude
of this town could be causing
people to see ghosts?
113
00:05:45,967 --> 00:05:48,000
Sure, and maybe the mines
themselves too,
114
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,166
because mines are known
to give off certain gases
115
00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:52,100
that can also cause
people to hallucinate.
116
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:54,567
[Josh] So, obviously,
a lot to investigate here.
117
00:05:54,567 --> 00:05:58,100
The mission is to go
and meet Brent and help him
solve the mysteries
118
00:05:58,100 --> 00:05:59,900
of his Wild West town.
119
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:01,867
Wagons ho to Cerro Gordo.
120
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:04,233
-All right, let's go!
-Yee-haw.
121
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,266
[Josh] It's a six-hour flight
from the Big Apple
to the City of Angels.
122
00:06:09,266 --> 00:06:12,200
And then,
a three-and-a-half hour
drive from LA
123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,734
to the Inyo Mountains
to reach Cerro Gordo.
124
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,467
The dirt road here
is only eight miles
125
00:06:18,467 --> 00:06:20,767
but it can take over an hour
to ascend
126
00:06:20,767 --> 00:06:23,767
its precarious
4,600-foot climb.
127
00:06:23,767 --> 00:06:27,367
This is a rugged road
but look at this view.
128
00:06:27,367 --> 00:06:30,233
[Jessica] It's gorgeous.
Oh, God. Go slow.
129
00:06:30,967 --> 00:06:33,066
[Phil] That view
is so spectacular
130
00:06:33,066 --> 00:06:34,967
-[Jessica] It's beautiful--
-but I promise
I will watch the road...
131
00:06:34,967 --> 00:06:37,333
-Just look at the road.
-...at least 90%
of the time.
132
00:06:38,667 --> 00:06:41,567
-[Phil] The peak of Cerro
Gordo is at 9,000 feet.
- [Jessica] Yeah.
133
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:44,333
[Phil] Really steep incline
and that's gonna mess
with your brain.
134
00:06:46,467 --> 00:06:49,100
Am I gonna barf everywhere
on camera?
135
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,600
-[Phil] Nausea for sure.
-Uh-huh?
136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,400
Dizziness. People can burst
capillaries in the brain.
137
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,600
-Oh, my God!
-They can hallucinate
and you can even die.
138
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,467
[Jessica] So you think
all these ghost sightings
are people hallucinating?
139
00:06:59,467 --> 00:07:00,834
[Phil] I think
it could be a factor.
140
00:07:04,266 --> 00:07:06,834
[Jessica] It looks like
we're gonna drive off
the edge of the world.
141
00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:10,834
[gasps] [bleep]
142
00:07:12,467 --> 00:07:15,200
-[Phil] Oh, there it is!
-Oh, that looks cool!
143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,767
[Phil] Wow. Okay.
144
00:07:21,066 --> 00:07:24,367
We pull into Cerro Gordo
and it looks
just as advertised.
145
00:07:24,367 --> 00:07:27,533
Desolate, forgotten,
population 1.
146
00:07:29,266 --> 00:07:31,000
-[Phil] Hey, Brent!
-[Jessica] Hey, there!
147
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,567
-[Brent] Hey, guys!
-[Jessica] Nice to meet you.
148
00:07:34,166 --> 00:07:35,867
-Welcome to Cerro Gordo.
-Thank you!
149
00:07:35,867 --> 00:07:37,367
-[Brent] Yeah!
-[Phil] So this is your mine?
150
00:07:37,367 --> 00:07:38,433
This is my mine.
151
00:07:42,367 --> 00:07:44,166
[Jessica] How does
one buy a town?
152
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:46,567
Uh... a lot of promises
153
00:07:46,567 --> 00:07:48,867
and a lot of friends
that believe in you,
I guess.
154
00:07:48,867 --> 00:07:49,867
-[Jessica] That's good.
-There you go.
155
00:07:50,867 --> 00:07:52,166
[Brent] I've always
been in love with history.
156
00:07:52,166 --> 00:07:55,000
So I used to love
everything about the West.
157
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,667
You know, I think the West
is a very romantic part
of American culture.
158
00:07:58,667 --> 00:08:01,166
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
-And so the idea that
there was gunfights here,
159
00:08:01,166 --> 00:08:03,367
-there was shoot-outs,
there was a murder a week.
-[horse whinnies]
160
00:08:03,367 --> 00:08:04,767
Guys are just
striking it rich.
161
00:08:04,767 --> 00:08:06,600
A lot of dreams
came here to die.
162
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,867
and a few came to prosper,
I guess.
163
00:08:08,867 --> 00:08:12,066
Nice. A lot of emotions
in one relatively small area.
164
00:08:12,066 --> 00:08:13,066
Yes, yes.
165
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:15,800
[Phil] How many buildings
are around here?
166
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,567
So there's about
a dozen buildings left.
167
00:08:18,867 --> 00:08:20,266
-Behind me
is the general store.
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
168
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:22,567
This is where they were
selling all the supplies
back in the day.
169
00:08:22,567 --> 00:08:24,934
-[Jessica] Do you mind
if we take a peek inside?
-Yeah, check it out.
170
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,266
-[door slams]
-[Phil] Wow.
171
00:08:30,266 --> 00:08:32,333
[Jessica] This place
is awesome.
172
00:08:34,266 --> 00:08:35,767
[Phil] Were all these things
found around here?
173
00:08:35,767 --> 00:08:37,367
[Brent] A lot of it
was here before we got it.
174
00:08:37,367 --> 00:08:40,200
But I've added things to it
as I go down in the mines.
175
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,934
-Stuff like dynamite boxes
and other things.
-[Jessican and Phil exclaim]
176
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:46,500
[Jessica] What are more
of the supernatural stories
177
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:48,000
that you've heard
come out of this place?
178
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,100
I myself have been living here
for the last few years.
179
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,166
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
-I have one kind
of, like, main story.
180
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:54,100
And that relates
to the bunkhouse.
181
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,300
Which is a place
where miners used to come,
182
00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:58,834
-spend time before
they permanently lived here.
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
183
00:08:59,767 --> 00:09:01,300
[baby cooing]
184
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:05,000
[Brent] This is a long hallway
with three rooms
off it either side.
185
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,100
[eerie music playing]
186
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,467
I walked to see
a sunset spot.
187
00:09:10,467 --> 00:09:13,867
As I was walking by,
somebody kind of looked
out the curtain.
188
00:09:13,867 --> 00:09:17,166
[captivating instrumental
music playing]
189
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:19,166
The light was on
in the kitchen.
190
00:09:19,166 --> 00:09:20,567
At first, I didn't think
much of it, you know.
191
00:09:20,567 --> 00:09:22,000
I thought it was
the contractors.
192
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,467
You know, the contractors
had been here before.
193
00:09:24,467 --> 00:09:25,900
Then I found Robert
the caretaker. I was like,
194
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:28,467
"Hey, Robert.
How long are the contractors
staying in the bunkhouse?"
195
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,867
-[Jessica] Yeah.
-And he kinda turned
and he said, uh,
196
00:09:30,867 --> 00:09:32,166
"Oh, they left
two weeks ago."
197
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:34,800
I know I saw somebody.
198
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,233
I know the light was on.
199
00:09:37,266 --> 00:09:39,300
What are some of the other
stories that people have had?
200
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,467
The woman in the black dress
is very common.
201
00:09:42,467 --> 00:09:46,600
A lot of people
see a woman
in the various buildings,
202
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,400
always just wearing
the same type of dress.
203
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,400
[Phil] Based on your knowledge
of the history here...
204
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,700
-[Brent] Yeah.
-...do you have any suspicions
on who that might be?
205
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:55,266
[Brent] There was a woman
named Lola Travis.
206
00:09:55,266 --> 00:09:58,066
And Lola owned
a brothel up here.
207
00:09:58,066 --> 00:09:59,567
Named Lola's
Palace of Pleasure.
208
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,567
She was known
as a very blunt woman.
209
00:10:02,567 --> 00:10:07,066
There's a story in where
there's an argument about
the fee that was being charged
210
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:08,467
and she shot the guy
dead in the street.
211
00:10:08,467 --> 00:10:10,900
And was never charged
just because she
was kind of respected
212
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:12,467
in the community
to that level.
213
00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:14,567
-So don't mess with Lola.
-Don't mess with Lola.
214
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,266
[Phil] Jess and I
are really interested
in what's happening
215
00:10:19,266 --> 00:10:20,567
underground here, too.
216
00:10:20,567 --> 00:10:23,467
We really want to get
into some of the mines.
217
00:10:23,467 --> 00:10:26,000
Uh, I'd recommend
not going to the mines.
218
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,200
They're very dangerous.
219
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,467
Because the mines
are actually collapsing.
220
00:10:28,467 --> 00:10:29,867
You know,
they're collapsing everyday.
221
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:33,400
And so, in another
decade, two decades,
they may not all be here.
222
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,000
So my blanket statement
would be stay alive
and stay out.
223
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,367
-You gotta find an expert
to go down there with you.
-Yeah.
224
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,867
[Jessica] I'll just call Josh
and I'll see
225
00:10:42,867 --> 00:10:46,166
who he can reach out to
that can come out here
and help us out.
226
00:10:46,166 --> 00:10:48,266
-[cat meows]
-[Phil] There's a cat.
227
00:10:48,266 --> 00:10:50,000
We have a cat.
That's Radio.
228
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,367
Cats are actually
one of the incidents here
229
00:10:53,367 --> 00:10:55,400
that I've heard about,
prior to my time.
230
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,567
The story was that
husband and wife
were sleeping.
231
00:10:57,567 --> 00:11:01,066
The husband awoke
to just hear the wife saying,
232
00:11:01,066 --> 00:11:04,100
"Oh, hey, kitty, kitty,"
just kind of doing this
on her chest.
233
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:06,200
They both saw a cat leave,
234
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,467
and, uh, there was
no cat to be found.
235
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:10,500
I love the idea
of a ghost cat.
236
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,767
[meows]
237
00:11:12,767 --> 00:11:15,500
-Well, thank you
for all this information.
-Of course.
238
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:17,066
Have fun. Enjoy it.
239
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:21,200
[Jessica] Brent gives us
unprecedented access
240
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,166
to investigate the entire
ghost town of Cerro Gordo.
241
00:11:24,166 --> 00:11:26,467
And after I make
a quick call to Josh
242
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:28,867
about potentially getting
access to the mines,
243
00:11:28,867 --> 00:11:31,567
Phil and I start prepping
our night investigation.
244
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:33,166
Where do you want
to set these cameras up?
245
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:35,567
-I think, obviously,
one towards the bunkhouse.
-Yeah.
246
00:11:35,567 --> 00:11:38,100
And then, we can't ignore
the Palace of Pleasure.
247
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:40,934
Because we know
there was a lot of people
that went there.
248
00:11:42,467 --> 00:11:44,600
[Jessica] We set up
surveillance throughout
the town.
249
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,100
The plan tonight is to hit
all the reputed
paranormal hotspots
250
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,567
including Lola's
Palace of Pleasure,
251
00:11:50,567 --> 00:11:54,333
where the apparition
of a woman in a black dress
is often reported.
252
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,967
But we're going
to start at the bunkhouse.
253
00:11:59,467 --> 00:12:02,367
It's believed to be the oldest
structure at Cerro Gordo,
254
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:04,967
and I'm curious
if that means
it might harbor
255
00:12:04,967 --> 00:12:07,166
the most residual
paranormal energy.
256
00:12:07,166 --> 00:12:09,467
[eerie music playing]
257
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:10,967
Hello, we're coming in.
258
00:12:12,467 --> 00:12:14,100
Test, test.
Okay, we're good.
259
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:15,166
-[Phil] Okay.
-We're recording.
260
00:12:15,166 --> 00:12:17,433
-I'm gonna record on this,
just in case.
-Yeah.
261
00:12:18,867 --> 00:12:22,166
[suspenseful music playing]
262
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:26,934
My name's Jess.
I'm with Phil.
263
00:12:27,867 --> 00:12:30,133
If you're here, do you mind
turning on the lights?
264
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:42,500
-[distant creaking]
-[Jessica] Did you hear that?
265
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:44,367
I heard something
move down there.
266
00:12:44,367 --> 00:12:45,634
[Phil] Let's go down there.
267
00:12:59,967 --> 00:13:01,433
[Jessica] Was this your room?
268
00:13:03,667 --> 00:13:05,934
Was that why
you were looking
out of the window?
269
00:13:09,867 --> 00:13:12,166
I hope it's okay
if we stay here.
270
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:15,367
[creaking]
271
00:13:17,967 --> 00:13:20,266
[whispering] What is creaking?
272
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:22,433
[whispers] It sounds like
it's on the outside
of that wall.
273
00:13:23,266 --> 00:13:25,166
[Phil whispers] It does.
274
00:13:25,166 --> 00:13:27,834
Go and see
if you can see anything
hitting the back of the wall.
275
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,333
[ominous music playing]
276
00:13:35,867 --> 00:13:37,266
Was this your room?
277
00:13:44,967 --> 00:13:47,233
[eerie music playing]
278
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,800
There's a lot of creaking
activity happening here.
279
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,800
-[Jessica] No, did you just
slam a door?
-No.
280
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,567
[dramatic music playing]
281
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,266
[Jessica in normal voice]
I just heard
the door slam.
282
00:14:04,266 --> 00:14:06,734
Maybe when I opened this,
it created a cross-breeze?
283
00:14:09,567 --> 00:14:11,867
But... did we
leave it open?
284
00:14:11,867 --> 00:14:14,000
-[whispering] I think
we left it open.
-Okay.
285
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,500
What were you saying?
There was some stuff
that was hitting the wall?
286
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:19,700
No, there was just
a lot of creaking happening
up in the corner.
287
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:24,000
But it is also
incredibly windy out.
288
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,467
[Jessica] Let's check out
the front door.
289
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,166
[Phil in normal voice]
That was close.
That slammed shut.
290
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:37,166
[Jessica] Oh, my God!
291
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:38,100
[door closes]
292
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:39,934
How could the breeze
have closed that?
293
00:14:41,066 --> 00:14:42,166
I don't know.
294
00:14:42,567 --> 00:14:43,567
[whispers] Dude.
295
00:14:45,867 --> 00:14:47,767
Is there anyone
in this room with us?
296
00:14:52,867 --> 00:14:54,266
Were you a miner?
297
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,133
Let's check out that bedroom
where that ghost cat
was reported.
298
00:15:13,266 --> 00:15:15,634
[Phil] So, lying on the bed.
299
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,233
-And...
-Okay Phil. Now what?
300
00:15:22,367 --> 00:15:24,266
Well, my theory
is this.
301
00:15:24,266 --> 00:15:26,767
If you're at high altitude,
it's hard to catch
your breath.
302
00:15:26,767 --> 00:15:29,767
You're gonna feel like
there's a weight
on your chest.
303
00:15:29,767 --> 00:15:31,266
I mean, you know
I gotta do it.
304
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:33,233
Oh, my gosh.
Are you gonna do a...
305
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:35,367
like a meow and response?
306
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:36,634
I'm gonna do
a meow and response.
307
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:38,967
Here, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty, kitty!
308
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,533
[clicking tongue repeatedly]
309
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:51,400
Here, kitty, kitty,
kitty, kitty, kitty!
[clicks tongue]
310
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,667
-[cat meowing]
-[both shriek and laugh]
311
00:15:56,867 --> 00:16:00,467
[both continue laughing]
312
00:16:00,467 --> 00:16:01,634
[bleep]
313
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200
I just know the cat
was in here.
314
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,100
Where is it?
Where is it?
315
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:11,166
-[laughing] Is it still here?
-[Jessica laughing] [bleep]
316
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,100
Oh... my God.
317
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:17,867
-Oh, I've never hugged you
so fast in my life.
-Oh, my God.
318
00:16:17,867 --> 00:16:21,900
[dramatic music playing]
319
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:25,000
[Phil] To see if there could
be any truth to the legend
of the phantom cat,
320
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
we leave our cameras rolling
and borrow a toy from Radio,
321
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,667
the real cat who nearly
gave us a heart attack,
and place it on the bed.
322
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:35,767
Okay, let's close this door
so the real cat doesn't
come in here.
323
00:16:35,767 --> 00:16:37,200
[Jessica] Yeah, I agree.
324
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,967
[Phil] If any ghostly
paw prints show up
on the sheets,
325
00:16:39,967 --> 00:16:42,166
our surveillance camera
will capture it.
326
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,000
[Jessica] After the bunkhouse,
we set our sights
on the infamous brothel,
327
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,667
Lola's Palace of Pleasure.
328
00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,800
I have a theory
I wanna put to the test.
329
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,000
By isolating myself
for a different kind
330
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,667
of call and response
technique,
331
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:05,567
I might be better able
to connect with female spirits
332
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:07,667
from the brothel's
sordid past.
333
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,367
[Phil] Wow.
Look at the condition
of this place.
334
00:17:16,567 --> 00:17:18,367
[Jessica] Whoa.
335
00:17:18,367 --> 00:17:20,000
[Jessica] I'm going to use
the spirit box
336
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,634
and conduct a special,
uncontaminated call
and response session.
337
00:17:28,066 --> 00:17:30,800
To eliminate any bias,
I'll be wearing a blindfold
338
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,233
and special
noise-cancelling headphones.
339
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,467
I won't be able
to see or hear
Phil's call-outs
340
00:17:38,467 --> 00:17:41,767
and Phil won't know
any spirit box hits
that I'm getting.
341
00:17:43,567 --> 00:17:44,800
[both exhale sharply]
342
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,333
So where do you
wanna post up?
343
00:17:49,166 --> 00:17:51,567
Maybe I'll post up over here,
kind of by the door,
344
00:17:51,567 --> 00:17:53,166
where we walked in.
345
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:55,467
You want me to sit over here,
maybe in the middle?
346
00:17:55,467 --> 00:17:57,166
-Yeah.
-Okay.
347
00:17:57,166 --> 00:18:00,867
[Jessica] The spirit box scans
the white noise and static
of radio frequencies.
348
00:18:00,867 --> 00:18:04,066
[captivating instrumental
music playing]
349
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,800
If it lines up
with Phil's questioning,
350
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,667
then we'll know
we might be dealing
351
00:18:10,667 --> 00:18:13,133
with some sort
of intelligent presence here.
352
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,667
Record.
353
00:18:19,367 --> 00:18:20,867
Okay recording.
354
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:27,634
[ominous music playing]
355
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:35,033
Jess, can you hear me?
356
00:18:36,567 --> 00:18:37,834
Jessica?
357
00:18:42,467 --> 00:18:43,934
All right,
she's not hearing me.
358
00:18:45,867 --> 00:18:47,367
Okay, here we go.
359
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:53,767
Terrifying.
360
00:18:53,767 --> 00:18:56,567
Wow. She started
apparently I'm "terrifying."
361
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:00,567
Um, hello?
Is anyone in here?
362
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,967
My name is Phil.
What's your name?
363
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:10,166
There's like so many voices.
364
00:19:12,667 --> 00:19:14,634
Can you tell me
the name of this place?
365
00:19:17,767 --> 00:19:18,967
[Jessica] No.
366
00:19:22,467 --> 00:19:24,433
[whispering] Okay,
I'm going to sit here.
367
00:19:25,166 --> 00:19:28,433
[ominous music continues]
368
00:19:29,367 --> 00:19:31,367
[in normal voice]
Who usually visits you here?
369
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,867
[Jessica] Bill?
370
00:19:38,367 --> 00:19:39,634
[Phil] Bill?
371
00:19:41,767 --> 00:19:44,166
How long have you
worked here?
372
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:50,567
What is your name?
373
00:19:51,467 --> 00:19:53,100
[Jessica] Maggie.
374
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,834
Maggie, it's nice to meet you.
My name is Phil.
375
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,767
Do you... need help?
376
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:04,233
Scared.
377
00:20:11,967 --> 00:20:14,467
[suspenseful music playing]
378
00:20:16,767 --> 00:20:19,433
Is there someone else
in here or something else
in here?
379
00:20:19,767 --> 00:20:20,934
[Jessica] Please.
380
00:20:22,066 --> 00:20:23,467
[Phil] If your name is Maggie,
381
00:20:24,767 --> 00:20:27,367
can you tell me
something about yourself?
382
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,634
Dirty.
383
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,300
Hold on.
Everything just stopped.
384
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:36,433
-What do you mean?
-Everything just went dead.
385
00:20:37,667 --> 00:20:38,867
Everything just went dead.
386
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,133
Like, the whole thing.
387
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,533
[heart thumping]
388
00:20:47,967 --> 00:20:50,767
-[Phil] So that
was interesting.
-[Jessica] Yeah.
389
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:53,166
So what was happening
when I called out those hits?
390
00:20:53,166 --> 00:20:55,100
When I asked names,
Maggie came up immediately.
391
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,667
And then I asked
who regularly visited here.
392
00:20:57,667 --> 00:20:59,266
And right away,
you said Bill.
393
00:20:59,266 --> 00:21:01,000
The response
was direct.
394
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,867
If it's, like,
that immediate response
395
00:21:02,867 --> 00:21:04,033
and, like, the fact that
396
00:21:04,033 --> 00:21:06,467
-it's in context to what
you were saying and asking...
-Yeah.
397
00:21:06,467 --> 00:21:08,233
I need to research
those names.
398
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:10,233
Some very interesting hits.
399
00:21:16,367 --> 00:21:17,900
[dramatic music playing]
400
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:20,467
[Jessica] The next day,
we get an early start
and try to make some sense
401
00:21:20,467 --> 00:21:22,533
of our active night
investigation.
402
00:21:23,967 --> 00:21:27,000
While Phil checks
our surveillance footage
for any anomalies
403
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,467
and paranormal activity,
404
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:31,834
I dig deeper
into Cerro Gordo's
sordid history.
405
00:21:34,166 --> 00:21:36,000
-Check this out.
-What do you have?
406
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,066
When you did
the call and response?
407
00:21:38,066 --> 00:21:41,100
-Up at the...
up at the brothel?
-Mm-hmm?
408
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,500
You know that Maggie?
409
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:44,967
Is there anybody here.
What's your name?
And you're like Maggie?
410
00:21:45,266 --> 00:21:46,367
Look at this.
411
00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:48,333
There's a lady
named Maggie Moore.
412
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,367
She lived on the mountain.
413
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:53,467
She ran the old Waterfall,
414
00:21:53,467 --> 00:21:56,000
which was a saloon,
dance hall and brothel.
415
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,367
And she had ties
to Lola specifically.
416
00:21:58,367 --> 00:22:01,166
They got dragged
in front of a judge
417
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:02,867
for both of them
selling alcohol.
418
00:22:02,867 --> 00:22:05,367
So they actually were
in court at the same time.
419
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:06,967
Look at this news article.
420
00:22:06,967 --> 00:22:08,000
[Phil] Lola Travis...
421
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,567
[together] ...and Mrs. Moore.
422
00:22:09,567 --> 00:22:12,500
[Jessica] For violating
the Sunday law
of selling liquor.
423
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:13,734
[Phil] Wow.
424
00:22:14,567 --> 00:22:16,266
Remember that other name
you picked up?
425
00:22:16,266 --> 00:22:17,734
-Bill.
-Bill.
426
00:22:18,266 --> 00:22:21,767
There was a William Crapo
427
00:22:21,767 --> 00:22:25,400
who was wanted
for shooting the post master.
428
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,567
-Whoa.
-[dramatic music playing]
429
00:22:26,567 --> 00:22:30,367
And everybody was so pissed,
they had a reward for $900.
430
00:22:30,367 --> 00:22:32,567
-Which was huge money
back then.
-That's a lot of money.
431
00:22:32,567 --> 00:22:34,767
Apparently, he took off.
432
00:22:34,767 --> 00:22:37,300
Went into the mines,
never to be seen again.
433
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:39,867
Interesting.
So he disappeared
into the mines.
434
00:22:39,867 --> 00:22:42,066
Disappeared into the mines.
Nobody ever found him.
435
00:22:42,867 --> 00:22:43,867
[Phil] Well...
436
00:22:43,867 --> 00:22:45,800
[Jessica] It's possible that
I made contact
437
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,500
with Maggie Moore
and Bill Crapo last night.
438
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:51,000
Which makes me wonder
if they're two of the souls
439
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,500
who may be trapped here.
440
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,266
I wanna follow
these leads further
441
00:22:54,266 --> 00:22:56,967
and see if I can entice
them to communicate
some more.
442
00:22:56,967 --> 00:22:59,166
-Wait, wait, wait.
Look at this, look at this.
-So what have you got?
443
00:22:59,166 --> 00:23:00,600
So this is the bunkhouse then?
444
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,166
This is the bunkhouse. Watch.
445
00:23:04,066 --> 00:23:05,000
Right there, right there.
446
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,266
-You see the movement?
-No, I did--
447
00:23:06,266 --> 00:23:09,066
I kind of thought
I saw something?
Wait! You see that?
448
00:23:09,867 --> 00:23:11,166
Here, uh...
449
00:23:11,166 --> 00:23:12,767
-[Phil] Oh, yeah,
look at that. Look at that.
-What is this?
450
00:23:12,767 --> 00:23:14,834
[suspenseful music playing]
451
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:21,166
[Jessica] That's weird.
Could that have been
a flashlight?
452
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:24,967
All of us were gone.
I literally saw
the headlights leave.
453
00:23:24,967 --> 00:23:27,066
I can't tell
if that's eyeshine?
454
00:23:27,066 --> 00:23:29,700
-[Jessica] Why's it
moving so fast?
-'Cause there's two of 'em.
455
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:32,000
[Jessica] Yeah, but one's
up here and the other one's
down here.
456
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,166
So it can't be
eyeshine, right?
457
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:35,266
Unless it's two
potential animals.
458
00:23:35,266 --> 00:23:37,567
-But then--
-Yeah or if it's looking
sideways.
459
00:23:37,567 --> 00:23:38,800
I don't know.
I wanna head out there
460
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,367
and see if there's
footprints back there.
461
00:23:41,367 --> 00:23:45,200
After watching that
surveillance footage
of that light anomaly,
462
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,500
I'm not quite sure
what to make of it.
463
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:50,100
This area is home
to several agile species
464
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:52,600
that could be responsible
for that eyeshine
465
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,533
but I need to look
for more clues.
466
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,767
So it's right in this area
where we saw
467
00:23:58,767 --> 00:24:00,367
something last night.
468
00:24:00,367 --> 00:24:04,967
It almost looked like
it had two eyes of eyeshine
but they were sideways.
469
00:24:04,967 --> 00:24:08,700
I don't think it was
reflection off this 'cause
it was actively moving.
470
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,700
So right now,
I'm checking for any
tracks in the snow
471
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,166
that are non-human.
472
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:17,567
My first guess
was that it was either
473
00:24:17,567 --> 00:24:19,000
house cats or bobs cats,
474
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,467
some kind of nocturnal
animal with its eyeshine
glowing back.
475
00:24:22,467 --> 00:24:24,967
But I'm not seeing
any tracks in the snow
476
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:26,600
that would indicate
some kind of wildlife
477
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,967
so, honestly, not sure
what we're dealing with.
478
00:24:33,467 --> 00:24:35,300
[Jessica] While Phil
checks out the bunkhouse,
479
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:38,867
I decide to do a little
recon of my own
up the mountain.
480
00:24:38,867 --> 00:24:42,166
I think we might have made
contact with Bill Crapo
last night.
481
00:24:42,166 --> 00:24:44,600
And our research shows
that in 1892,
482
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,166
he mysteriously disappeared
into the mine,
483
00:24:48,467 --> 00:24:50,266
never to be seen again.
484
00:24:50,266 --> 00:24:54,100
So I'm heading to the old
tramway which would've been
the main mine entrance
485
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:58,200
that he would've used,
and possibly, his last
known whereabouts.
486
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,467
I'm on the lookout
for any old artefacts
487
00:25:00,467 --> 00:25:04,467
that we can use as possible
trigger objects to connect
with Crapo
488
00:25:04,467 --> 00:25:07,166
or any other souls
who may still be
trapped in the mine.
489
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,867
So this right here
is the tram.
490
00:25:11,867 --> 00:25:15,900
This is where the ore
would be shipped back
down to the valley.
491
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,367
This is also where
they would pick miners up
to come up here to work,
492
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:20,367
and send them back down.
493
00:25:20,367 --> 00:25:22,767
So, stuff has fallen
out of their pockets.
494
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:25,400
There's probably ore
all over the place,
who knows what.
495
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,400
But, uh,
let's get searching.
496
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,433
[beeping]
497
00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:31,767
Nail.
498
00:25:31,767 --> 00:25:35,467
Because of the frozen terrain,
digging is quite difficult.
499
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:38,100
To help out my search,
I'm using a metal detector
500
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:41,800
which tells me
the type of metal
and the depth of the object.
501
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,166
There's nails
all over the place
502
00:25:43,166 --> 00:25:46,400
so I'm trying to find
something a little bit
more significant.
503
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,166
But at least
we know it's working.
504
00:25:54,166 --> 00:25:57,033
[dramatic music playing]
505
00:26:03,066 --> 00:26:05,100
[beeping]
506
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:06,433
Something here.
507
00:26:07,367 --> 00:26:09,934
-[beeping]
-Ooh!
508
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:11,767
Right here.
509
00:26:11,767 --> 00:26:13,634
I might have
something over here.
510
00:26:15,266 --> 00:26:17,867
[grunting]
511
00:26:21,266 --> 00:26:22,433
What is this?
512
00:26:23,567 --> 00:26:25,266
Oh! I got something!
513
00:26:25,266 --> 00:26:28,367
[dramatic music playing]
514
00:26:35,166 --> 00:26:36,734
[Jessica] Here we go! Nice!
515
00:26:37,967 --> 00:26:40,634
Some sort of tag or something.
You see there's just
a little hole
516
00:26:40,967 --> 00:26:42,667
at the top.
517
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:45,166
Don't know if this would be
a necklace or pin
to something.
518
00:26:45,166 --> 00:26:47,600
And then you got
the numbers 403
519
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,433
and then a number 3
at the bottom.
520
00:26:50,767 --> 00:26:54,200
This is what we need
for when we try to contact
some of the miners.
521
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,166
It's something
they would be
familiar with.
522
00:26:56,166 --> 00:26:59,700
Something they would
be associated with.
523
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:02,567
After catching a break
and finding a possible
trigger item
524
00:27:02,567 --> 00:27:04,266
as a needle
in a frozen haystack...
525
00:27:05,767 --> 00:27:07,767
Phil and I meet back
up in the command center
526
00:27:07,767 --> 00:27:09,734
where we get
an update from Josh.
527
00:27:10,867 --> 00:27:12,066
-Hey, Josh.
-Hi, Josh.
528
00:27:12,066 --> 00:27:14,567
Howdy, partners.
How are things
in Cerro Gordo?
529
00:27:14,567 --> 00:27:17,900
Well, we're taking it
one very thin high altitude
breath at a time.
530
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:20,367
But this ghost town
definitely is eerie.
531
00:27:20,367 --> 00:27:21,767
-Especially at nights.
-Mm.
532
00:27:21,767 --> 00:27:24,166
With these beat-up
old, Wild West buildings.
533
00:27:24,166 --> 00:27:27,166
You feel really isolated
atop this barren mountain.
534
00:27:27,166 --> 00:27:29,967
And the altitude
definitely hits you.
535
00:27:29,967 --> 00:27:32,200
So safe to say
you guys aren't looking
to move in?
536
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,667
And become
Brent's new neighbors?
537
00:27:33,667 --> 00:27:35,567
And you haven't been
underground yet.
538
00:27:35,567 --> 00:27:39,000
Have you had any luck
finding somebody who can
get us access to the mine?
539
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,500
Don't let us down, Gates.
540
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:44,767
Yeah, I got your text
and I found a local guide
named Craig Leck
541
00:27:44,767 --> 00:27:47,867
who has explored
the Cerro Gordo
mines extensively.
542
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:51,400
He's gonna come meet you
at the Safeguard entrance
of the mine.
543
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,100
Well, perfect.
I mean, that must
mean it's safe.
544
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:56,667
-I-- I doubt it.
-Hopefully, it safe
all the way through.
545
00:27:56,667 --> 00:27:58,266
Yeah.
546
00:27:58,266 --> 00:28:00,467
Phil's definitely right.
It's dangerous in there.
547
00:28:00,467 --> 00:28:02,900
But Craig is a seasoned pro.
He's gonna take
good care of you.
548
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:05,667
He will meet you tomorrow
morning at the entrance
549
00:28:05,667 --> 00:28:07,867
and I'm sure
Brent knows
where that is.
550
00:28:07,867 --> 00:28:09,066
Sounds good,
we'll meet him there.
551
00:28:09,066 --> 00:28:10,767
-Bye, Josh.
-See you.
552
00:28:10,767 --> 00:28:11,834
Good luck, greenhorns.
553
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,867
[dramatic music playing]
554
00:28:16,867 --> 00:28:18,467
[Jessica] The next day,
we brave the elements
555
00:28:18,467 --> 00:28:20,767
to meet Josh's contact
at the mine entrance.
556
00:28:20,767 --> 00:28:23,700
I can't wait to use
that trigger object
557
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:26,700
and attempt to make contact
with any spirits.
558
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:28,467
-[Jessica sighs in exhaustion]
-[Craig] Hey, you guys
finally made it.
559
00:28:28,467 --> 00:28:29,367
-[Phil] Hey.
-[Jessica] Hey!
560
00:28:29,367 --> 00:28:30,967
Come on in here,
let's get out of the cold.
561
00:28:30,967 --> 00:28:32,567
-Come on in, guys.
-[Jessica] Thanks!
562
00:28:34,166 --> 00:28:36,600
[Jessica grunts]
563
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,467
[Phil] Craig Leck has been
working in the Cerro Gordo
mines for decades.
564
00:28:40,467 --> 00:28:43,467
When he's not in here
pumping water from
an underground spring,
565
00:28:43,467 --> 00:28:46,734
he's rehabbing the mine
to make sure it's safe
to navigate.
566
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:49,400
All right, come on in, guys.
567
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,600
[Jessica] Look at this.
568
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,400
-[Phil] Oh, my goodness.
-[sighs]
569
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,367
So welcome
to the Safeguard mine.
570
00:28:54,367 --> 00:28:57,000
This was one of the many,
many, many
571
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,767
miles of mines that
are here at Cerro Gordo.
572
00:28:59,767 --> 00:29:04,266
The amount of silver
that came out of this mine
built Los Angeles.
573
00:29:04,266 --> 00:29:05,500
[Jessica and Phil] Whoa.
574
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:08,367
How many miners
do you think have
worked in this place?
575
00:29:08,367 --> 00:29:11,000
-Have been in and out
of these very--
-Thousands.
576
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,667
-Thousands?
-Thousands and thousands.
577
00:29:12,667 --> 00:29:14,367
It was a complete
city up here.
578
00:29:14,367 --> 00:29:18,100
How many miners do you think
have died in this mine?
579
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:19,333
Untold.
580
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:23,867
In the mines,
I've encountered
very odd stuff.
581
00:29:23,867 --> 00:29:25,400
-Um...
-You have? Personally?
582
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,333
I personally have.
583
00:29:27,367 --> 00:29:31,367
[suspenseful music playing]
584
00:29:31,367 --> 00:29:34,600
I maintain the water system
down at the 700-foot level.
585
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,033
So... seven stories
underground.
586
00:29:39,266 --> 00:29:42,900
I encounter when
I'm coming back
on the elevator,
587
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:45,066
water'll shut off.
The power'll shut off.
588
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:48,567
So I turn back around,
I start going back down.
589
00:29:48,567 --> 00:29:49,634
It'll turn back on.
590
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:53,000
Um, I've heard footsteps.
591
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,500
Something is messing
with me.
592
00:29:54,500 --> 00:29:55,700
You don't seem like
the type of person
593
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:57,166
-that gets scared of very
many things.
-I--
594
00:29:57,166 --> 00:29:59,467
You seem a little
uncomfortable talking
about this.
595
00:29:59,467 --> 00:30:01,967
I, I am.
It's a little weird for me.
596
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:05,100
Turn your lights off,
it's total dark in here.
597
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:07,867
Yeah, so the dark
does mess with people.
It can mess with you.
598
00:30:07,867 --> 00:30:09,000
-Oh, it will.
-Yeah.
599
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,367
And especially down here.
600
00:30:10,367 --> 00:30:12,767
-I carry three flashlights
with me at all times.
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
601
00:30:12,767 --> 00:30:13,767
'Cause if one goes out...
602
00:30:13,767 --> 00:30:15,433
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
-...you're not coming up.
603
00:30:16,467 --> 00:30:19,100
So I found this out by
where the tramway
would've been.
604
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:20,667
Do you know
what that is?
605
00:30:20,667 --> 00:30:22,033
That is a miner's tag.
606
00:30:23,567 --> 00:30:25,066
[Jessica] So what
would that be for?
607
00:30:25,066 --> 00:30:28,567
So basically, there is a board
at the top of the mine shaft
before you went in.
608
00:30:28,567 --> 00:30:30,867
There is a board
with little hooks.
609
00:30:30,867 --> 00:30:33,700
-And you'd have your name
and your number.
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
610
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:35,567
So this was number 403.
611
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,467
Probably the third shift.
612
00:30:37,467 --> 00:30:39,467
-So you'd put your tag
on there.
-[Jessica] Mm-hmm.
613
00:30:39,467 --> 00:30:41,467
And that means
you're in the mine.
614
00:30:41,467 --> 00:30:44,166
So if everybody clears out
and your tag is still there,
615
00:30:44,166 --> 00:30:45,567
they know
you're stuck somewhere.
616
00:30:45,567 --> 00:30:49,000
-Oh, whoa.
-You're down. They go...
send a search party for you.
617
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,967
-[Phil] That's a pretty
important lifeline.
-It is.
618
00:30:50,967 --> 00:30:53,266
-[Jessica] That's-- Yeah.
-That's... that is
very important.
619
00:30:53,266 --> 00:30:56,300
So whoever this tag
belonged to maybe
never went home.
620
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,433
[Craig] Exactly.
621
00:30:57,767 --> 00:30:59,600
Jess, good find!
622
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,567
-[Jessica] Yeah. All right.
-[Phil exhales]
623
00:31:02,567 --> 00:31:04,300
-[Phil] I say we go in.
-Go deeper in?
624
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,367
Uh, we got one last test here.
Could just have
the air monitor.
625
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:08,700
-[Jessica] Okay.
-[Craig] Uh...
626
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:10,266
I'm gonna keep this on me.
627
00:31:10,266 --> 00:31:12,767
-[Phil] Okay.
-You hear me yell, scream,
628
00:31:12,767 --> 00:31:14,567
if you hear this thing beep,
get out.
629
00:31:14,567 --> 00:31:15,900
-We're leaving?
-Yeah.
630
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:18,100
-[Jessica] Okay.
-So I'll keep this on me
and we can cruise on in.
631
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:19,400
-[Jessica] All right!
-All right.
632
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,800
-Okay?
-[Jessica] Sweet, let's go.
633
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,133
[suspenseful instrumental
music playing]
634
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:30,166
[Jessica] It's hard to fathom
how many souls might actually
be entombed here
635
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:32,567
from all of the accidents
over the years.
636
00:31:32,567 --> 00:31:34,600
We're currently
at the 200 level
637
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,500
but there's six additional
levels of tunnels below us,
638
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:41,734
going all the way down
to nearly 1,100 feet
beneath the earth.
639
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:45,734
Whoa, check this out.
640
00:31:46,667 --> 00:31:47,800
[Phil] Wow.
641
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:48,967
[Jessica] There's
no getting through that.
642
00:31:48,967 --> 00:31:51,567
That is all blocked up.
Wonder why that's blocked off.
643
00:31:51,567 --> 00:31:53,300
-Hey, Craig!
-Yo?
644
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:56,367
This area's all packed in
over here. Do you know why?
645
00:31:56,367 --> 00:31:58,667
They probably had
a severe collapse.
646
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:02,700
Um, it's hard to say.
But that's definitely
a no-pass zone
647
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,266
where they wanted
to keep people out.
648
00:32:04,266 --> 00:32:06,266
So there could be
a collapse behind this?
649
00:32:06,266 --> 00:32:08,066
-Exactly.
-Okay.
650
00:32:08,066 --> 00:32:11,266
Well, then, let's, uh,
avoid the left.
651
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:15,900
[Phil] The Spanish name
Cerro Gordo translates
to 'Fat Hill'.
652
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:20,767
So it's an appropriate name
for a mine with over 30 miles
of underground tunnel.
653
00:32:23,767 --> 00:32:27,467
[suspenseful music playing]
654
00:32:27,467 --> 00:32:28,533
Something over here.
655
00:32:30,467 --> 00:32:33,367
[Phil] Okay.
What is this?
656
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:35,934
Another four-way?
657
00:32:39,166 --> 00:32:41,266
[Jessica sighs] Straight.
658
00:32:41,967 --> 00:32:43,734
Looks like it goes
deeper this way.
659
00:32:44,867 --> 00:32:46,367
[Phil] Do not
touch these boards.
660
00:32:46,367 --> 00:32:48,867
-They seem to be keeping
things stable in here.
-Yeah.
661
00:32:48,867 --> 00:32:51,734
-[Jessica] Those seem like
important pieces of wood.
-Yeah.
662
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:54,834
[Jessica] There's more
up here so be careful.
663
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,433
Oh, man. Yeah, that's,
that's a no-go zone.
664
00:33:04,767 --> 00:33:06,700
[Phil] I got something
I kind of want to try in here.
665
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:08,166
[Jessica] What
do you want to try?
666
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:10,166
[Phil] As we run
into another dead-end,
667
00:33:10,166 --> 00:33:13,166
I convince Jess to try
a little experiment with me.
668
00:33:13,166 --> 00:33:15,567
I can only imagine
the terror miners faced
669
00:33:15,567 --> 00:33:17,767
with only flame
as a light source
670
00:33:17,767 --> 00:33:21,367
and the constant risk
of their oil wick lamps
burning out.
671
00:33:21,367 --> 00:33:23,567
Craig mentioned earlier
that the darkness in here
672
00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:25,166
can really mess
with your mind.
673
00:33:25,166 --> 00:33:27,266
I want to put that
to the test.
674
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:30,367
So you just want to sit here
in the dark for a little bit?
675
00:33:30,367 --> 00:33:33,166
-I kind of want to see
what it would be like.
-See if you hear anything?
676
00:33:33,166 --> 00:33:36,667
'Cause, yeah, it's that
sensory deprivation.
We could use our hears.
677
00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:38,500
See how we feel
in that darkness.
678
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:40,867
I think that's an absolutely
excellent idea.
679
00:33:40,867 --> 00:33:43,166
Crew, everybody,
let's kill cameras,
kill monitors.
680
00:33:43,166 --> 00:33:46,767
-Let's get it as dark
as possible.
-Yeah.
681
00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:51,166
[suspenseful music playing]
682
00:33:51,166 --> 00:33:53,467
[Phil] Even though
our IR cameras
are still rolling,
683
00:33:53,467 --> 00:33:57,266
for the two of us,
it's complete
and total darkness.
684
00:33:57,266 --> 00:33:59,767
[Jessica] Okay!
I feel weird
685
00:33:59,767 --> 00:34:01,634
because I feel like
I can't see light.
686
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,600
But I can.
687
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,600
-Right? Are your eyes
doing that too?
-They are.
688
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Where it's like your brain
wants to see shapes,
689
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,066
-wants to see lights.
-Oh, this is weird.
690
00:34:11,066 --> 00:34:13,567
You just know that
your hand is there.
691
00:34:13,567 --> 00:34:16,100
[Jessica] I keep seeing,
like, reflections.
692
00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:18,200
-Like little pinpoints
of, like, sparkle.
-[Phil] Yes!
693
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,367
[Phil] That is literally
happening to me
right now, too.
694
00:34:20,367 --> 00:34:23,100
-[Jessica] Like if there was
glitter on the walls.
-Yep. Yep, yep!
695
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:24,800
[Phil] Or like
little fireflies on the wall.
696
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,367
-[Jessica] Yeah.
-It keeps changing shape.
697
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,266
Are we going crazy right now?
This has never happened
to me before.
698
00:34:30,266 --> 00:34:32,667
-Me neither.
-Whoa.
699
00:34:32,667 --> 00:34:35,767
So sitting here
in this dark,
700
00:34:35,767 --> 00:34:39,867
this is the conditions
that some miner
701
00:34:39,867 --> 00:34:42,567
would have met their demise
if there had been a cave-in
at the far end.
702
00:34:42,567 --> 00:34:46,300
They're just stuck in this
absolute blackness.
703
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:48,200
And silence.
704
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,700
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, this would be
the last thing you'd see.
705
00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:52,433
You'd essentially
be buried alive.
706
00:34:57,767 --> 00:34:59,266
[Phil] Okay.
707
00:34:59,266 --> 00:35:01,400
[Jessica] Is anybody
missing their miner's tag?
708
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,967
I found one
with the number 403-3.
709
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,233
If this is your tag,
710
00:35:08,367 --> 00:35:11,000
could you please give me
a sign that this is yours
711
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,333
and that you're here?
712
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,500
[clanking in distance]
713
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:18,133
What the [bleep]?
714
00:35:18,667 --> 00:35:19,834
Did you hear that?
715
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,333
[dramatic music playing]
716
00:35:32,867 --> 00:35:36,500
Cerro Gordo's greatest
calamity came in the 1870s
717
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:40,000
when over 30 Chinese miners
died in a cave-in.
718
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
It was tragic
but it was also unsurprising.
719
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,467
As tough as it was
for American miners,
720
00:35:45,467 --> 00:35:47,200
the Chinese had it worse.
721
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,900
In the early 1850s,
24,000 Chinese,
722
00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:53,600
a quarter of the total
miners in California,
723
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,767
arrived in the state
chasing Gum San
or Gold Mountain.
724
00:35:57,767 --> 00:35:59,400
But instead of finding gold,
725
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200
they found rampant racism
and xenophobia.
726
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,200
Chinese miners were given
the most deadly and least
valuable claims.
727
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,367
They were also
uniquely taxed
$20 a month
728
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:13,166
or around $800 today
just to try to mine.
729
00:36:13,166 --> 00:36:15,700
Worst of all,
the California
Supreme Court ruled
730
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:18,166
they couldn't testify
against Americans,
731
00:36:18,166 --> 00:36:21,100
making it impossible
to legally defend themselves
732
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,000
if they were robbed
or assaulted.
733
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,000
In 2009, California
formally apologized
to Chinese Americans
734
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,734
for its racist laws
during the Gold Rush.
735
00:36:32,567 --> 00:36:34,567
[suspenseful music playing]
736
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:36,333
[Jessica] Was that
you saying hi?
737
00:36:41,567 --> 00:36:43,567
If this is your tag,
738
00:36:43,567 --> 00:36:46,066
do you want to tell me
your name so I can give
this back to you?
739
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:50,967
Bill Crapo,
are you here with us?
740
00:36:57,266 --> 00:36:58,834
Did you know Maggie?
741
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,433
How about Lola?
742
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,734
Is there anyone else
who's here?
743
00:37:13,967 --> 00:37:15,867
How many miners
are still in the mine?
744
00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:25,500
I'm feeling a breeze
on my hand.
745
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:27,367
-Really?
-My hand, yeah.
746
00:37:28,867 --> 00:37:31,300
[ominous music playing]
747
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:34,900
Is that you trying
to get your miner's tag?
748
00:37:34,900 --> 00:37:37,133
Is that you reaching out
to my hand?
749
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:41,500
Oh, my God.
750
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:44,266
There's like a distinct breeze
751
00:37:44,266 --> 00:37:47,166
running across
my palm right now.
752
00:37:47,166 --> 00:37:49,066
[whispering] It feels
like 10 degrees colder.
753
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:53,567
Yeah, there's this cold spot,
something around.
754
00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:58,600
It's right here.
755
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,533
-Right here.
Same spot again.
-Yeah.
756
00:38:01,467 --> 00:38:02,767
That's bizarre.
757
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:06,367
That sounded like
the earth shifting.
758
00:38:07,166 --> 00:38:09,166
Yeah, it sounded
like a rumble.
759
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,734
Is there anyone
behind me right now?
760
00:38:27,767 --> 00:38:31,600
I swear I'm hearing wind.
761
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,600
Like a high-pitched...
[imitates wind blowing]
coming in and out.
762
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,266
Almost like
it's coming through
the mountain.
763
00:38:38,567 --> 00:38:39,867
[sighs] All right.
764
00:38:39,867 --> 00:38:41,166
All right, we've gotta
start moving, Jess.
765
00:38:41,166 --> 00:38:42,500
-It is getting... cold.
-Yeah.
766
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,767
-Super cold.
-Yeah. Should we throw
the lights back on?
767
00:38:44,767 --> 00:38:46,266
Yeah, go ahead.
Lights on.
768
00:38:46,266 --> 00:38:47,767
[switches clicking]
769
00:38:47,767 --> 00:38:50,367
[suspenseful music playing]
770
00:38:50,367 --> 00:38:52,667
[Phil] After our sensory
deprivation experiment,
771
00:38:52,667 --> 00:38:55,567
we change course
and trek deeper
into the mine.
772
00:38:56,500 --> 00:38:59,100
And down another level
and one of the tighter shafts,
773
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:02,734
we eventually find out
the hard way that we,
in fact, are not alone.
774
00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:05,166
Oh! Look at the bat!
775
00:39:05,166 --> 00:39:07,266
-[Jessica] Oh, Jesus!
-Oh, my gosh. That almost hit
me in the head.
776
00:39:07,266 --> 00:39:08,767
[Jessica] Did it almost get
the-- What?
777
00:39:08,767 --> 00:39:10,233
It's like right there. Okay.
778
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,767
Well, it's probably
trying to get past us
and can't.
779
00:39:13,767 --> 00:39:16,634
-[Phil] Yeah.
-[bats screeching]
780
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:20,166
-[Jessica] Whoa!
-Whoa! Another bat.
781
00:39:20,166 --> 00:39:23,400
[suspenseful music playing]
782
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,367
[Phil speaking]
783
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,300
Craig, one question.
784
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,266
Do you think
these are chisel marks here?
785
00:39:29,266 --> 00:39:31,100
[Jessica] For sure they are.
Or pickaxe.
786
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:33,367
-[Craig] Yeah, there
you go, pickaxe.
-Pickaxe right there.
787
00:39:33,367 --> 00:39:34,600
[Phil] Pickaxe marks.
788
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,066
-So these are from
the miners back then?
-[Craig] Yep.
789
00:39:37,567 --> 00:39:39,367
[Phil] Wow. Okay.
790
00:39:39,367 --> 00:39:43,467
So those are marks
from the miners
back in the 1870s.
791
00:39:43,467 --> 00:39:46,634
[Jessica] Well,
look at that, good line.
792
00:39:47,300 --> 00:39:48,667
[Craig speaking indistinctly]
793
00:39:49,667 --> 00:39:50,767
-[Craig] Hey, guys!
-[Phil] Yeah!
794
00:39:50,767 --> 00:39:52,467
Gas meter is kind of
flipping out right now.
795
00:39:52,467 --> 00:39:53,400
-[Jessica] Okay!
-[Phil] Bad air?
796
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,967
-[Craig] Bad air.
-[Jessica] Bad air?
797
00:39:54,967 --> 00:39:56,467
-[Phil] All right, everybody,
let's get out, let's go!
-[Jessica] Let's go.
798
00:39:57,700 --> 00:40:01,033
[dramatic music playing]
799
00:40:02,867 --> 00:40:05,100
[Josh] In my team's quest
to investigate
800
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:08,166
the reportedly haunted
mining town of Cerro Gordo,
801
00:40:08,166 --> 00:40:11,467
they uncovered a rich vein
of shocking evidence.
802
00:40:11,467 --> 00:40:13,100
[Jessica] [bleep]
Everything just went dead.
803
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:14,567
[Josh] The strange
flashes of light
804
00:40:14,567 --> 00:40:17,467
captured on our
surveillance camera
by the bunkhouse...
805
00:40:17,467 --> 00:40:18,467
Wait, did you see that?
806
00:40:18,467 --> 00:40:21,166
...did not correspond
with any animal tracks...
807
00:40:21,166 --> 00:40:22,567
Not sure what
we're dealing with.
808
00:40:22,567 --> 00:40:25,700
...ruling out Phil's
wildlife theory.
809
00:40:25,700 --> 00:40:28,800
As for the disturbing noises
heard inside the mine
810
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,266
that sounded like tapping...
811
00:40:30,266 --> 00:40:32,066
-[distant clanking]
-[Jessica] Did you hear that?
812
00:40:32,066 --> 00:40:35,000
[Josh] ...there is
no easy explanation.
813
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,300
Phil thinks it could
have been bats
814
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:41,000
but admits the patten
did have an unsettling
regularity.
815
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,500
[Phil whispers]
Look at that guy.
816
00:40:43,500 --> 00:40:46,867
[Josh] Jess is certain
there were entities
present in the mines,
817
00:40:46,867 --> 00:40:50,500
made even more so
by a bone-chilling EVP,
818
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:52,567
an electronic
voice phenomenon,
819
00:40:52,567 --> 00:40:55,166
that she discovered
while processing
the evidence.
820
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:57,333
[Jessica] Bill Crapo,
821
00:40:58,066 --> 00:40:59,567
are you here with us?
822
00:40:59,567 --> 00:41:01,734
-[static noise]
-[faint voice speaking]
823
00:41:07,266 --> 00:41:09,100
[dramatic music playing]
824
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,100
[Josh] Brent Underwood
remains confident
825
00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,867
he can breathe life
back into his ghost town.
826
00:41:13,867 --> 00:41:17,667
But my team left Cerro Gordo
feeling much more cautious
827
00:41:17,667 --> 00:41:19,700
because any life
that returns
828
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:21,767
does seem certain
