go down the basement. - And on that cue, to the basement. Okay we're recording and heading down. See if the night vision works. Okay not very well, I can't see anything. - [Angela] Good? - [Bill] Yeah. Oh the light vision

wasn't on, there we go. Night vision's on now. We're in the basement. Daytime session. We just did a really quick EVP. - Electronic voice phenomenon, EVP, electronic voice phenomenon

was first popularized during the spiritualist movement

at the turn of the century when audio recording

technology first appeared. EVPs are basically voices of

the dead captured on tape. According to some experts,

spirits use the energy of the recording device to

communicate through white noise. EVPs are classified into three groups depending on their intensity. EVPs are not generally heard

at the time of the recording, but can be identified during playback. Usually an EVP is just one

word or short sentences or phrase ad sometimes it's

just a groan, grunt, or growl. There is not scientific evidence to prove an EVP is actually a

communication from the deceased. - We tried to do an EVP

session but this was about 1:00 in the afternoon and Virginia

City is a party town. - There was just no way

that it wasn't going to be completely contaminated,

so we called that off. Where do you think we should put these little stuffed animals. - Angela brought some target props for the little girl downstairs. A puffin and a teddy bear and

we set those up in the stairs to see what would happen. - Dawn had mentioned to

Lala a few times before our trip that there was a

little girl that resides there. A little girl spirit, she

actually sent a picture of what to me, does

look like a little girl standing on the stairs that

go down into the basement. - It does look like a little girl. it looks like she's balding

but it is a good picture. - We're placing the trigger objects, we've got a puffin and a teddy bear. If you move them then we'll

know that you're here. And as Bill was filming

the trigger objects, these tiny little white

sparkles started to appear on the stairs around the stuffed animals. He saw them first, and then

showed me on his camera. And it was pretty amazing at first. It seemed to be responding to Bill. - [Bill] Who's here can

you tell me your name. Y'all see that? - [Angela] Yeah. - [Bill] Now something just

keeps flying in front of it. Did you see it? (whispering) Awesome you see it? - [Sean] I've seen it once. [Bill] See that sparkle

that keeps happening? Can you walk by or sit by

or be by the animals again? [Angela] Oh yeah. - [Bill] See it, that. The same spot every time. - [Angela] That's cool. - [Emilee] Yeah. - [Bill] Right when I ask you to do it. - After that we went upstairs

and began immediately reviewing the footage. Bill of course being the

skeptic trying to debunk it. Me of course, being the true

believer going but wait, it answered your question, it responded. - [Bill] That's it, does

it right when I say that. - I feel like they would

be moving slower than they would be moving if they

were kicked up with wind. - It was happening when

I asked it to happen and there was that flash

in that spot, that glitter little sparkle but then again it's a camera, a digital camera. - But look the orbs moving. - The orbs was not a glitch. - [Sean] If it's repeatable,

dust doesn't follow a track. - Again I'm not going to say it's a ghost. It could be dust, we mentioned dust. - [Sean] It could be magical,

intelligence, repeating dust. - It could be fairy dust and now we're going to call this fairymentary so it will be interesting

to do it again tonight. Do you want to know the history of orbs? They were (bleep) made for a very long time a big deal about his statements on ABC news that ghosts were everywhere. He was getting orbs in haunted places and his logic was, ghosts are everywhere, orbs are everywhere,

therefore orbs are spirits. That is incredibly illogical

because you know what, chairs were there too, so if

there's a ghost in the house, and there's a chair in the house, then the chair must be the ghost. All right so now during the

1990s something else happened. There was a shift toward

digital photography and there was an increase

in the power of flashes, so reflective surfaces and

when you have the short focal length, we're getting

semi reflective surfaces would cause flashbacks. So just because you're getting orbs doesn't mean you're getting ghosts. You have to have some

independent verification. If that's the only thing

you've got, you've got nothing. - Earlier that day, Lala,

Dawn, Nick, and I took a little bus tour of Virginia City

and one of the things that I thought was really

interesting, was the cemetery. - Okay here we are at the cemetery. Here we are at the cemetery,

she took the tour today. - The most famous prostitute,

she was murdered for her jewelry and furs, and they buried her at the base of the mountain. All the men wanted her

buried in the cemetery with all of their

families type of religion and all the women said no. - Doesn't it seem like the

beginning of a horror movie, like a new one now. Hey guys let's go in the cemetery it's gonna start getting dark. - So they said the prostitute

had like a thousand people at her funeral because

she was very much loved. - As we were walking in

and she was telling us the story, we heard nothing. - Not a sound coming from anywhere. Our footage has the recording of what we can only describe as a cattle drive. (rocks crunching) We knew that there was

another group of people, like three people quietly

walking down the hill from us. - It was nothing but quiet. It was beautiful, we got amazing footage. (cellphone ringing) Hold on. Hey honey we're shooting, we're up on top of the Boato parking garage. - This is why you turn your

phone off when you're filming. - Yeah. - [Bill] If any of us

would have heard that, which appeared to be

some sort of cattle drive going right by us, we would

have said to the camera hey there's a cattle

drive going right by here. - You can actually here yee haw, you hear horses running,

you hear men shouting. (garbled audio) - it could have been

anything but the fact that the five of us did not hear

it, and how clear it was on the camera, it seems a lot. Is that the cult down there? It's a house. - That was the, what

did they say that was? - That was the John Cooper milling camp. - It does sound like a cattle drive. It also sounds like crows. We were also in a giant

valley, that is full of people who might be hurting cattle. - We miss so much by

not allowing the quiet and the stillness of the

now to fully envelop us. And by doing that you

become this incredible listening device, a device that can see and you can experience beyond

anything that I can describe. - All right so scanning on

a different frequency here, I don't know if you know what that means, but it might help us hear you better. Can you say hello? - Okay, well. - All right, ghost we're gonna
