The stories that are portrayed in this program are based on real events.
The names of the characters were changed in order to protect their identities ... and some honor.

[Froy and Sonia are driving down a street in the tow truck]
SONIA: So anyways, um, we're looking for a 2009 Corvette.
FROY: Nice.
SONIA: Your ... Your, your ... One of your favorite cars, no ?
FROY: Not mine, Matt's.
SONIA: [laughs]
MATT: What is it, at work right now?
SONIA: She's a librarian. Can you believe that?
FROY: That's a nice car for a librarian!
SONIA: Yeah, well, librarians make good money. Everybody thinks just because you're a librarian, you don't make no money. You make money.
FROY: I thought they made like minimum wage.
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: You know, I think I'm gonna change from being a repo man to a librarian, because I don't have a Corvette and she has a Corvette. When did librarians start getting Corvettes?
[back to Froy and Sonia in the truck, as they pull up to a house]
SONIA: Here's the address.
FROY: Do we have a plate?
SONIA: Yeah, [beep].
FROY: Is that it?
SONIA: Yeah, it's the Corvette. Um, what do you want to do, back it up? We ain't gonna be towing that. Look at where the [beep] at.
FROY: I know. I'll block it, and I'll try to pick it up, at least. If you have a chance ... If you have a chance, write down the plate to that Porsche as well, 'cause if this thing is for repo, maybe the Porsche is, too.
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: You know, I'm starting to think that maybe this librarian does something else besides just library work. I mean, is she doing something special? Does she own the library? I don't know.
[back to Sonia knocking on the door]
SONIA: Hi, I'm looking for a Mary [beep].
MARY: Yeah, that's me.
SONIA: How you doing? My name is Sonia. Uh, we have an order for repossession on the car.
MARY: On what car?
SONIA: On the Corvette.
MARY: Uh-uh ... [she comes storming out of the house and confront Froy] No, no, no, no.
FROY: How you doing?
MARY: Chuck just paid this last week, dude ... No.
FROY: Uh, I'm sorry. Who's Chuck?
MARY: My husband.
FROY: Okay ...
MARY: He paid it, the car's in my name. He paid it last week.
FROY: Okay, he hasn't paid it. She's got a paper that she can show you--
MARY: No, that's bull-[beep]!
SONIA: Okay ...
FROY: Hold on.
MARY: He just paid it, what are you talking about?
SONIA: Listen, ma'am--
MARY: No, you are not going anywhere.
[another woman comes out of the house]
WOMAN: Oh my god ...
FROY: Hold on, hold on.
SONIA: Okay, let me explain something before you go on, okay? Listen ...
MARY: Explain what?
SONIA: Do you--
MARY: My car is on here, number one ...
SONIA: Listen.
MARY: Even if he didn't pay it, it's not-- you cannot move it. It will ruin the car.
SONIA: You know ... [points to the other lady] Okay, who's this ?
MARY: Do you hear me? It will ruin the [beep] car !
SONIA: Who's this?
MARY: Don't worry about who she is!
SONIA: Okay, then tell her to get the hell out, and stop yelling at me, 'cause I'm trying to be civil and you're yelling!
FROY: Ma'am ...
MARY: [yelling even louder] How are you trying to be civil when--
SONIA: Because I have an order for repossession.
FROY: Excuse me?
SONIA: Did you hear me?
MARY: You do not have an order for repossession because the car got paid last week!
SONIA: She ain't listening ...
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: You know, honestly, I can't believe that that librarian was that upset. But then again, if you think about it, Sonia kind of brings that out of everybody ...
[back to Sonia and Mary yelling at each other]
MARY: You do not hear what I'm saying, ma'am, when I'm talking to you!
SONIA: You wanna bring the whole neighborhood?
WOMAN: Um ...
[cut to Sonia speaking to the camera]
SONIA: She got off on me, she got in my face, telling me off, okay? She started, not me, so I don't know what the hell Froy's talking about ...
[back to Mary yelling]
FROY: Did I say--
MARY: Get your [beep] back to--
FROY: I didn't say anything about--
MARY: Do you habla ingles ?
FROY: [calmly] I can tell you in spanish if you like as well. Listen, hold on ...
MARY: You want me to say it in Spanish ?
FROY: Could it be a possibility--
MARY: Do you really want me to say it in Spanish?
FROY: Just could it be a possibility--
MARY: [beep] No!
FROY: Is there a possibility that maybe your husband didn't make the payment?
MARY: No, no, no, no!
[Sonia tries to open the door through the window, and Mary grabs her]
SONIA: Don't touch me, lady!
MARY: Don't touch me !
SONIA: You better just gimmee the keys--
MARY: Get your [beep] up out of here! Don't touch me !
SONIA: Don't touch me, lady, you're gonna have a problem.
MARY: Don't touch me!
FROY: Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am ...
MARY: No, you're gonna have a problem !
FROY: Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, listen ...
WOMAN: Don't touch her!
SONIA: This is my car, you hear me?
MARY: Your car!? Your car!? What year is it ?
SONIA: Put your hand on me!
MARY: What year is it, if it's your car ?
SONIA: 2009, 2009 !
MARY: [beep], it's a 2008!
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: You know, I have to tell you the truth. Going out with Sonia to do repos has turned out to be like going with Matt out to repos. There's always someone fighting.
[back to Mary and Sonia yelling]
MARY: You know what? Okay, fine! Fine! [grabs Sonia around the neck]
WOMAN: No!
MARY: Get the [beep] away from me!
FROY: Hey, hey, hey, hey!
SONIA: Chill out!
[Froy tries to separate them]
FROY: Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me ... [gets in front of Mary]
MARY: Move!
FROY: No, you're not gonna win, you're not gonna win. If she tells--
MARY: Oh, you want him to protect you now!
SONIA: I don't need him!
[cut to Sonia speaking to the camera]
SONIA: I have two women on one. Okay, can I handle it? Yeah, if I want to be really badly aggressive, okay? But I didn't want to.
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: And usually, when you think two women fighting ... you know, you start thinking, "Cool! Catfight, wet T-shirt contest. But unfortunately, Sonia was one of those women, so I couldn't really think like that.
[back to Froy trying to get in between the three women]
SONIA: [talking to Froy and pointing to the car] We're gonna drag it out ...
MARY: You're not going nowhere! Pick it up!
WOMAN: Take the friggin' car!
MARY: Pick it up!
SONIA: Go ahead. That's okay, go ahead. Drag it out.
FROY: Get so physical, you're gonna get hurt ...
MARY: Okay, okay, okay! Wait! Wait, okay.
FROY: I'm done trying to talk to you.
MARY: Let me-- okay.
SONIA: You get me the key and then you get something out.
MARY: Okay, let me get some things ...
SONIA: [to Froy] Just go ahead and drag it out.
MARY: [fumbling with her keys] Oh, [beep] you ...
SONIA: You give us the key, otherwise we'll drag it out.
MARY: Let me just get some things.
SONIA: First, you give me the key and you can get some things.
MARY: I've been working all day.
SONIA: Okay, you know what? Let's be civil, then. Give me the key, I'll open the trunk and you can get your stuff.
MARY: Let me open the trunk and then I'll give you the key.
SONIA: Okay, go ahead.
[cut to Sonia speaking to the camera]
SONIA: Man, I expected a better behavior from this R.O. than the one she gave me, which, it was horrible because I was holding in so much anger, 'cause I really wanted to just [makes a slapping motion] Uh! And the other chick, I just wanted [another slapping motion] Boom!
[back to Sonia and Mary]
MARY: [yelling at Froy] What?
FROY: Give me the key, I'm gonna open it, you can get your stuff out. I promise you. I can't let you try to get it and then try to take off with your purse and the key as well.
MARY: [throws the key on her lawn] Go fetch!
FROY: Can you please get the key, Sonia?
MARY: Fetch, [beep]!
[Sonia goes to retrieve the key]
FROY: Thank you.
MARY: [yelling after Sonia] My toilet needs some cleaning! You can go in there and clean it!
SONIA: Why don't you wipe my [beep] first?
[Mary opens the trunk, then she and the woman start taking out books and throwing them at Sonia]
MARY: [beep]!
WOMAN: [throws papers at Sonia] Here, you need a library card if you're gonna act like a [beep] kid at the library!?
SONIA: You know what ... [pushes the woman] [beep] you, lady.
MARY: [pushes Sonia] Leave my girl alone! Fight me! Leave her alone [beep]!
SONIA: You better stop it, you guys!
WOMAN: No!
FROY: [tries to separate them again] Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey. Please, yeah, stop, stop, stop. Stop. Relax, relax. Sonia, just get in the car, please.
[Sonia turns to get in the truck]
FROY: [points to the ground behind Mary] Look, your glasses are on the floor, they're gonna break ...
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: See, that's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to do my job, and what does Sonia do? Get back into the frickin' fight.
[back to Froy trying to make peace]
FROY: Go inside.
[Sonia bumps Mary on her way to the truck]
FROY: Go in--
[Mary pushes back]
FROY: [to Sonia] Please go-- Please go inside.
SONIA: You better stop it, lady. You better stop it.
FROY: [picks up Mary's purse] Look, take your purse. Please go inside. Please go inside. Ma'am, go inside.
[Mary picks up a book off the floor and throws it at Sonia's back]
FROY: Don't, don't! Just go inside, please.
[cut to Sonia speaking to the camera]
SONIA: This woman's trying to get me mad, okay? 'Cause she's throwing books at me, and I'm telling you, I'm not gonna be pissed ... 'cause I already got the car.
[back to Mary trying to get between the truck and the Corvette]
MARY: Naw, dude. No, man! Naw, man, no.
WOMAN: You can't do this! Seriously!
MARY: [screaming] No, dude, no! No !
WOMAN: Ew, no, you are ... [actually tries grabbing at the tow truck as it's pulling away]
MARY: No !
WOMAN: Seriously, this is ridiculous! Oh my god! Oh my god!
[cut to Sonia speaking to the camera]
SONIA: I didn't lose here. I got the car, I got the keys. What, what is there to be said?
[back to Froy trying to drive the Corvette out of the driveway, except that Mary is sitting on the trunk]
FROY: [to the woman] Ma'am? You might want to get your girlfriend out of the way. I don't want her to get hurt. She's gonna fall, she's gonna get hurt. It'll be her [beep], not mine.
[cut to Froy speaking to the camera]
FROY: Sonia's always fighting, Matt is always fighting. And this is the reason why I like working with Matt better. At least he finishes fights.
[back to the woman as she is able to talk Mary back into the house]
FROY: [yelling at Sonia as the Corvette and truck are driving side by side] What's with you and Matt always getting [beep]?
SONIA: I'm not-- She's the one that put her hand on me first! What the hell is that? Pippi Longstocking and all this [beep] ...
FROY: It's like you just attract this [beep] to happen.
SONIA: Huh? What's that? Did you see--
FROY: Maybe her husband didn't make the payment on purpose.
SONIA: I-- look it ...
FROY: She's got a big mouth.
SONIA: Did you see her, that she [beep] hit me first?
FROY: I know, that's what I told her.
SONIA: And then they tell us to watch it!
[cut to Sonia speaking to the camera]
SONIA: You know, I don't know what's Froylan's problem, okay? We already got the car, okay? He's been getting kind of whiny. I mean, don't get me wrong, okay? He's a good repossessor. But the way he's talking to me, it's like, I should have done something, you know? I mean, what can I do? I already got the car. What's the big deal?

The Children's Story Hour
A Local Library
Noon - The Day Before Thanksgiving

[a young female librarian is trying to conduct story time ... except that there is only one middle-age man, a certified public accountant from the building next door, listening to her]
LIBRARIAN: Welcome. I'd like to read you a story especially written for Thanksgiving. It's called "William, the Turkey that Cared."
ACCOUNTANT: What does he care about?
LIBRARIAN: The plight of his fellow turkeys ... Aren't you a little old for the children's story hour, sir?
ACCOUNTANT: I forgot to bring my lunch today, so I came in here ...
LIBRARIAN: And decided to help yourself to the free snacks?
ACCOUNTANT: Hey, these graham crackers are pretty good, and this grape Kool-Aid is quite tasty.
LIBRARIAN: Couldn't you have brought a lunch?
ACCOUNTANT: As an expert in financial planning, I'm always looking for new ways to maximize my portfolio.
LIBRARIAN: So you're cheap.
ACCOUNTANT: I call it "strategic utilization of resources."
LIBRARIAN: Okay. Since you're the only one here, do you want to hear my story?
ACCOUNTANT: Please, continue.
LIBRARIAN: [reading from her book] "As Thanksgiving neared, William wondered why everyone would look at him licking their lips and rubbing their tummies."
ACCOUNTANT: He must be a good sized bird?
LIBRARIAN: William was full grown, yes.
ACCOUNTANT: Forty pounder at least?
LIBRARIAN: I guess so ...
ACCOUNTANT: Yup, sounds like one tasty bird.
LIBRARIAN: Sir, you're missing the point of the story.
ACCOUNTANT: I like my turkey with lots of cranberry sauce. Y'know, the jellied kind, not that awful whole-berry stuff.
LIBRARIAN: [continues reading] "William did not want to be eaten and wanted to make sure other turkeys did not suffer a similar fate."
ACCOUNTANT: What?! That sounds downright un-American. Is William some sort of communist turkey?
LIBRARIAN: No, he's enlightened and loves all living creatures.
ACCOUNTANT: Whatever you say, comrade ... What your story needs is Pilgrims and maize.
LIBRARIAN: Grrrrr ... [continues reading] "William became aware of his plight after a beautiful vegetarian liberated him from the turkey farm. Her name was Leslie."
ACCOUNTANT: Ooo, that's a pretty name. Do you have a picture of her?
LIBRARIAN: No.
ACCOUNTANT: I like vegetables, that practically makes me a vegetarian.
LIBRARIAN: That's admirable, sir, considering that five minutes ago you were sizing up William as a potential Thanksgiving dinner.
ACCOUNTANT: I've become enlightened, too. I think Leslie and I would really hit it off. Maybe we could get together for a cup of coffee and a slice of pumpkin pie.
LIBRARIAN: I ... don't think so, sir. She's a character in a story.
ACCOUNTANT: Do you have her phone number?
LIBRARIAN: She's way out of your league, sir.
ACCOUNTANT: Aha! There is a real Leslie!
LIBRARIAN: Dream on, sir ... [looks down at her book] I've lost my place. Where was I in my story?
ACCOUNTANT: The Kremlin had sent the Manchurian Turkey to destroy America by crippling the poultry industry at its most crucial moment.
LIBRARIAN: Grrrrr ... I suppose you could come up with a better story?
ACCOUNTANT: Of course.
LIBRARIAN: Let's hear it.
ACCOUNTANT: Well, it would take place at the first Thanksgiving, and there would be plenty of Pilgrims and maize ...
LIBRARIAN: Ugh.
ACCOUNTANT: An evil supercomputer from the future would send a turkey cyborg back in time ...
LIBRARIAN: "Turkey cyborg"?
ACCOUNTANT: [continues] To stop Thanksgiving. A supersoldier, also from the future - maybe Vin Diesel - would arrive and thwart The Turkinator!
LIBRARIAN: [disgusted] Oh ...
ACCOUNTANT: After it was all over, Santa Claus would make a special guest appearance. Everybody loves Santa!
LIBRARIAN: What?!
ACCOUNTANT: Pretty good, huh?
LIBRARIAN: Get out!!
ACCOUNTANT: Okay, okay. I'm out of graham crackers anyway ... If I could ask one last question?
LIBRARIAN: What is it?
ACCOUNTANT: Is Leslie a blonde or a redhead?
LIBRARIAN: Ugh ...
ACCOUNTANT: [sits down on the floor]
LIBRARIAN: [to the camera] Happy Thanksgiving!

Case No. 2
Valparaiso, Chile
Santiago Severin Library
Thursday, 6:50 PM

[the Ghost Hunters International team is communicating via walkie talkie while driving towards their destination]
ROBB DEMAREST: Hey everyone, welcome to Valparaiso, Chile. I also want to thank Paul for coming out with us, and Brandy was telling us we have a really good case here, and she's gonna give us the details.
BRANDY GREEN: Hey guys, we're headed to Santiago Severin Library, and it was the second library built in the country of Chile. Now, we've been contacted by the staff of the library, because they say that they've been experiencing some really crazy stuff there. They've seen full-bodied apparitions, and for the most part, they believe they know who these individuals are. They think that they're seeing one of the old directors and his wife, and she's been seen walking through the bookcases and just disappearing. People feel very uncomfortable, and they just really would like some answers.
ROBB DEMAREST: All right. Well, sounds like a great case, a lot of visual stuff going on ... So this is it right up here. Let's get in there and get to work.

The Investigation
Valparaiso, Chile
Santiago Severin Library
Thursday, 8:18 PM

[the team enters the library and speaks with local historian Gerry Woodhams]
ROBB DEMAREST: Gerry!
GERRY WOODHAMS: Robb, hi!
ROBB DEMAREST: Good to see you.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Welcome to the Santiago Severin Library.
[cut to Gerry speaking directly to the camera]
GERRY WOODHAMS: The library here plays a very important part in the community, and I've heard many stories about ghosts in the library, and I think it's very important that GHI investigate these occurrences and come up with some answers.
[cut back to the library]
ROBB DEMAREST: Well, we're very excited to be here. Could you tell us some of the history about the place?
GERRY WOODHAMS: Yeah, a very wealthy philanthropist called Santiago Severin decided to build a library. The building was built between 1912 and 1919, and it has about 180,000 books at this moment. There are also a few strange happenings that this library has.
ROBB DEMAREST: Yeah, we're really looking forward to it. If you wouldn't mind showing us where the hot spots are and exactly what's going on.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay. Well, let's start off through here, shall we?
ROBB DEMAREST: Okay.
[cut to the team entering a small room filled with old furniture]
GERRY WOODHAMS: The living quarters of the second director of the library. He used to live here with his wife.
[he stops and points to a door]
GERRY WOODHAMS: A person who's been working here for fifteen years says that on lots of occasions, she's been in here, and this handle has rattled.
[cut to Monica Moraga, one of the librarians, speaking in Spanish directly to the camera]
MONICA MORAGA: [translated] The doorknob was moving like it was trying to open. I watched the lock jiggle up and down like someone was trying to get in. But there was no one there.
[cut back to the director's living quarters]
GERRY WOODHAMS: And some people believe that it was probably caused by the wife of the director, who used to go through this door every day to church.
DUSTIN PARI: Do we know if the gentleman and his wife who lived here, did they pass away on the premises?
GERRY WOODHAMS: They did, yes.
ROBB DEMAREST: Alright, we'll follow you.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay. Walk this way.
[cut to the team entering the library's basement, filled with several bookcases]
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay guys, this is the basement, and every day they had to bring the daily deposits down the stairs and into the safe.
[he points to the staircase]
GERRY WOODHAMS: Um, when they got to this platform here, they felt extremely cold. It was a very strange cold. They would often feel on the back of their necks as though somebody was blowing on them, and they just didn't want to come down here on their own.
[cut to the team entering the old stacks section of the basement, where shelves upon shelves of old books can be seen]
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay guys, another member of staff has actually seen an apparition here which everyone calls the Black Lady.
[cut to another librarian, Susana Araya Leon, speaking in Spanish directly to the camera]
SUSANA ARAYA LEON: [translated] Many times, I've seen a woman in a black dress. I looked down, and she had no feet. She was just floating along the basement floor.
[cut to the team entering the repair room in the basement]
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay guys, one day one of the workers came down to talk to the repairman, and as he was talking, over his shoulder was seen an apparition through there. They said "That's Juanito!" He was a sort of janitor. Juanito died in 1996.
[cut to Edmundo Guerra, the library coordinator, speaking in Spanish directly to the camera]
EDMUNDO GUERRA: [translated] As I approached the repair room door, I could see my reflection on the glass. Suddenly, I saw Juanito standing right behind me. I ran back upstairs, and decided never to go down to the basement by myself again.
[cut Gerry leading the team back to the main entrance]
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay guys, that's the end of the tour.
ROBB DEMAREST: Then it's time for us to get to work, and see if we can't find some answers for you.
[they shake hands]
ROBB DEMAREST: We'll see you soon.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay. Well, good luck!
ROBB DEMAREST: Alright ...
[cut to Robb speaking directly to the camera, as footage of the team setting up their equipment is shown]
ROBB DEMAREST: The people that work here, many of them are afraid, even though they recognize the spirits of the people they think they know. So I think that GHI can come in here and do one of two things. Either we can help to identify the potential spirit activity and who this might be, or we can disprove some of the stories about paranormal activity and help them feel comfortable here.

Thursday, 10:21 PM

[Robb and Paul are investigating the library's theatre]
ROBB DEMAREST: Es Juanito aqui? Por favor, ven aqui.
PAUL BRADFORD: Okay, I just heard a whisper.
[cut to Robb speaking directly to the camera]
ROBB DEMAREST: During the investigation of the theater, at two different times, Paul and I both thought we heard disembodied voices, small whispers.
[cut back to the theatre]
PAUL BRADFORD: It sounded like it came from that side. Do you see where the ... the curtain maybe? Around there somewhere.
[cut back to Robb speaking directly to the camera]
ROBB DEMAREST: We thought it was coming from the back of the stage. We investigated back there.
[cut to Paul and Robb checking the stage area]
PAUL BRADFORD: Is there anybody actually in here with us?
ROBB DEMAREST: I mean, there's no one back here.
PAUL BRADFORD: No ...
[cut back to Robb speaking directly to the camera]
ROBB DEMAREST: We're looking for water pipes or a radiator. Nothing.
[cut to Paul and Robb shining there flashlights around the stage area]
ROBB DEMAREST: Es Juanito aqui?
PAUL BRADFORD: [reacting as if he heard something] Again ...
ROBB DEMAREST: Juanito, ven aqui, por favor.
[a slight noise can be heard, as Paul motions in that direction]
ROBB DEMAREST: [waving towards the apparent source of the noise] Come, come come come. Ven ven ven ven. Rapido, por favor. Es su amigos.
[Paul and Robb move onto the stage area itself]
ROBB DEMAREST: Make a noise somewhere here.
PAUL BRADFORD: Move a chair.
[a noise can be heard coming from offstage]
ROBB DEMAREST: Dude. Did you hear that?
PAUL BRADFORD: You heard it too, yeah?
ROBB DEMAREST: Yeah.
PAUL BRADFORD: [shining his flaghlight into the audience section] Sounded like someone just sat down.
[cut to Paul speaking directly to the camera]
PAUL BRADFORD: Robb and I were at the front of the stage, asking for someone to come forward, and I decided, "You know what? If you're in the audience, siddown. Move a chair for us." Within seconds, we heard the shuffling of a chair, like someone was either getting themselves comfortable or they were just, you know, preparing to sit down."
[cut back to Paul and Robb standing on the stage]
ROBB DEMAREST: I've never heard the "Can you move a chair?" and it actually--
PAUL BRADFORD: [laughs] It moved the chair!
ROBB DEMAREST: It moved the chair!

The Reveal
Valparaiso, Chile
Santiago Severin Library
Sunday, 6:34 PM

[the team meets again with Gerry to discuss their findings]
GERRY WOODHAMS: Well, hello guys!
ROBB DEMAREST: Good to see you, Gerry.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Nice to see you back. I'm really interested to know what happened or what news you've got to report.
ROBB DEMAREST: Well, we definitely are going to tell you some interesting things, I think.
DUSTIN PARI: At one point in the night, down in the basement level, I was there myself with Barry and following up on the claims that people say they feel a cold breeze or a breath on their neck. And in that particular area, there was a temperature fluctuation that both of us kind of felt. Uh, we also have a piece of equipment that's called the data logger.
ROBB DEMAREST: This thing takes a reading of temperature, humidity, and dew point every two seconds, up to 16,000 readings. We then put it on the computer and it can show us a graph.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Uh huh.
ROBB DEMAREST: So if we saw something where suddenly the temperature dropped several degrees, we could say, "Okay, maybe there's something paranormal here" ... There was no significant change.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Mm hmm.
ROBB DEMAREST: So that is going to have to be kind of left a mystery at this point.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Right ...
DUSTIN PARI: I did spend some time with Paul looking at the doorknob in the old living quarters of the director and his wife.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Uh huh.
DUSTIN PARI: And as you said, you know, there is that door on the outside, obviously, and there's a gate on the other side of it. Um, so we know that no one was coming through and actually manipulating the doorknob themselves.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Right, uh huh.
DUSTIN PARI: We did wanna see, though, if there could have been a draft coming through there or anything, and what we found is there is a slight opening between the doors, but that only actually would shake the door back and forth. It doesn't affect the handle in any way.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Right.
DUSTIN PARI: So that's another claim where it was just ... That would have to have been manipulated by some sort of energy, but throughout our investigation, the door handle obviously didn't move or do anything.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Right.
ROBB DEMAREST: We had the theater room with the piano. We did find something interesting that we want to play for you.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Right?
ROBB DEMAREST: Myself and Paul were standing up on the stage. There was no one in the audience ...
GERRY WOODHAMS: Uh huh.
ROBB DEMAREST: And we were asking the spirit to do something.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Uh huh.
ROBB DEMAREST: So we'll play that for you now.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Okay.
[Dustin uses his laptop to play the audio recording of Paul asking the "ghost" to move a chair and the subsequent "thump" that they heard]
GERRY WOODHAMS: That was a bump at the end, no?
ROBB DEMAREST: You can hear that sound, but we were both standing on the stage ...
GERRY WOODHAMS: Mm hmm.
ROBB DEMAREST: And the sound came, or so we thought, from one of the seats in the audience ... Which is certainly interesting, given that he had just said, "Can you sit in one of the seats?"
[the "thump" sound is played again]
ROBB DEMAREST: Now, we had no further sound from anywhere in that area. So for us to say, you know, this was a spirit responding to the question--
GERRY WOODHAMS: Yup.
ROBB DEMAREST: Given that the open layout of the library and the way that the sound moves throughout, uh, we couldn't make that step.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Uh huh.
ROBB DEMAREST: So, during our time here, no evidence of the paranormal was captured.
GERRY WOODHAMS: No Black Ladies? No Juanitos?
ROBB DEMAREST: Right, nothing.
[they shake hands]
ROBB DEMAREST: Alright, Gerry. Well, thank you for everything, sir.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Well, thank you. You did a fantastic job.
DUSTIN PARI: Alright, thank you Gerry.
ROBB DEMAREST: I appreciate that.
GERRY WOODHAMS: Yeah, let's go.
[cut to Gerry speaking directly to the camera]
GERRY WOODHAMS: The people here that have been seeing these apparitions will be a little bit disappointed that you weren't able to find them. But, um, I think GHI have done an extremely thorough job, and if there was anything around, I'm sure they would have found it.
[cut to Robb and Dustin driving away]
ROBB DEMAREST: I think Gerry, he understood that we were bringing in more equipment than ever before.
DUSTIN PARI: Yeah.
ROBB DEMAREST: Paul did a great job, and it'll be interesting to see where the technology that's coming out here takes us.
DUSTIN PARI: Yeah, we got a lot of new pieces of equipment. We got a lot of things that are working together towards the same goal.
ROBB DEMAREST: Y'know, certainly from everything that we received there, there doesn't seem to be paranormal activity any longer.
DUSTIN PARI: Nope. Nice place, just a lack of ghosts.
ROBB DEMAREST: [laughs] Alright, well, let's keep it moving.
DUSTIN PARI: Alright, man.

Ghost Hunters International Season 2, Ep. 6 "Holy Ghosts"

The GHI team is bound for South America and arrive in Chile for two investigations. First stop - the famed El Bosque City Hall, which was once a retirement home for Catholic priests and doubled as a house of detention for the secret police during the reign of Augusto Pinochet. The team will also investigate the Santiago Severin Library, where the librarians are hearing noises they can't "shush" away.

Season 2 - Episode 206
Holy Ghosts

Our second case this week takes GHI to Valparaiso, Chile, to the Santiago Severin Library. Built in the early part of the 20th century, the library houses some 180,000 books and is a central landmark in Valparaiso. According to liaison and local historian Gerry Woodhams, it has also been the site of numerous sightings and experiences, some involving a former director of the library and his wife, as well as a former janitor named Juanito.

The investigation gets underway, with the team excited to see if Paul's new data logger will help them detect any temperature shifts. It's put to the test when Dustin and Barry feel a draft in the basement, but reveals only that there was only a one-degree variation. The investigation's key moments come in the library's theater, where Robb and Paul hear disembodied voices coming from the stage. They look into it, but get an even bigger surprise when Paul's request for a chair to move is answered with creaking from the audience area.

Unfortunately, the analysis of the evidence doesn't bear much fruit. Joe thinks he's found something in thermal imaging, but Barry quickly points out that it's only glass reflecting Dustin's body heat. Neither EVP nor Paul's data logger turn up any new information, and Dustin and Robb relate to their host that no concrete evidence was found. They're a little disappointed at the lack of findings, but drive off excited at what Paul's technological contributions can mean for GHI's future paranormal investigations.
