It became hard to keep track

As the orphanage became overcrowded,

It became hard to keep track

Of the orphans dying.

Sometimes it would take staff members

More than a day to figure out

Which orphans had actually passed on.

Yes, and to get rid of the dead,

The orphanage built a children's chute,

A trash dump that got rid

Of the deceased tots into the basement.

The...

The basement was

nicknamed The Butterfly Den

Because... could you keep that thing,

It's right in my eyes, okay?

Sorry.

Try again.

Sorry.

Try again.

In the basement.

Be nice, guys.

In the basement.

Be nice, guys.

Okay, alright, action.

The basement was

nicknamed The Butterfly Den

So when the children asked where

Their now dead friends went,

The staffers could say,

"To fly with the butterflies. "

When in actuality, it was a large

Crematorium especially built.

When in actuality, it was a large

Crematorium especially built.

One staffer would say

that it was an iron oven.

It was so difficult to drain the smoke

Out of the crematorium,

Much of it leaked into the

kitchen where we just were

And some staff members

wrote home to their family

That the stench from

the children's bodies

And some staff members

wrote home to their family

That the stench from

the children's bodies

Were so powerful that they had

That the stench from

the children's bodies

Were so powerful that they had

To cover their faces with towels

Were so powerful that they had

To cover their faces with towels

While they were cooking.

The stench added to the

flavoring of the food.

Dude, a hair?

Go!

Next up, we'll go down to the basement.

Dang, the door won't open.

Uh, Julie!

Look, it's supposed to be opened,

Uh, Julie!

Look, it's supposed to be opened,

So I don't know what's going on.

I got it.

Please.

Great, great, great.

Nope, that's locked tight.

Only the Director's office

is supposed to be closed.

I don't know what's going on.

Okay, we'll pry it open later,

We got enough to do,

Okay, we'll pry it open later,

We got enough to do,

Let's just shoot out

way back down and out.

That's it for downstairs,

Shoot you on the way out.

Yes.

Okay.

Yes.

Okay.

Let me just set up.

Okay.

Let me just set up.

I just want to make it clear

That I am no longer the bug guy!

Where are we next, Julie?

The hallway, man.

Thank you, hallway.

Woah woah woah, hold on.

What's up?

The EMF reader's going nuts.

Hold on.

What was that?

What is that?

Hello...

Anyone?

Okay, it's died down.

Looks like we have some

ghosts here after all.

Okay, this could be a long one.

Cut guys, I've got to change tapes.

You good?

Yeah, it's got a few moments.

You good?

Yeah, it's got a few moments.

Oh Billy, God bless you, buddy.

Yeah, it's got a few moments.

Oh Billy, God bless you, buddy.

You are awesome Billy, that rocked!

Hey, hey, how about that one, Harry?

It got my attention.

It scared the piss out of me.

You pissed?

I pissed on myself!

Okay guys.

You ready?

Just one second.

Alright, tape's in.

And we are rolling.

So sometimes...

Oh my God.

Hold this, Julie.

Yeah, yeah.

Hold this, Julie.

Yeah, yeah.

Cut, what the hell is that?

It's dead.

Rog, did you do that?

Did I put the EMF down

And throw a f***ing rabid cat at you?

Chad?

No, man.

Chad?

No, man.

I own and love cats

And I'm a member of PETA, this is bad.

Got there somehow.

And I'm a member of PETA, this is bad.

Got there somehow.

It wasn't Julie or I, we

were all behind you guys.

Wait, I get it.

It just jumped out scared.

It jumped out and then

Suicided at mach speed into the wall?

Maybe Bill set it up.

Why would he do that?

Because he's crazy, I don't know.

Hold on, none of us threw a cat, okay?

Look, maybe it was the ghost, okay?

Maybe the cat ran through

its other eight lives.

Yeah, I left my "cat-apult" at home.

Get it? Catapult?

Okay, just forget it, let's go.

Just please don't anybody

Throw anymore animals at me.

That goes for you ghosts too.

Catapult, really?

I'll do the joking, okay?

I'm sorry man, I just...

Bill!

What's wrong?

Nothing man, I just thought I heard

Bill wandering around up there

I want to say hi to the old codger.

Oh, okay.

Where's everybody else?

Right behind us.

Timmy went to the shitter

And Julie said she's

going to keep Chad company

Timmy went to the shitter

And Julie said she's

going to keep Chad company

While he gets some

batteries for the camera.

I bet Julie's "keeping Chad company. "

You okay?

Yeah, why? Peachy.

Just curious.

Hey, why'd your EMF reader

Go so crazy back there?

Hey, why'd your EMF reader

Go so crazy back there?

Ah, EMF readers look at

electromagnetic fields,

So faulty wiring could set it off, or...

Old place like this could

really get the needle moving.

Alright, you just seem worried a little.

It's acting, my boy.

No, I mean it was a little weird,

I just didn't want to step

into an electrical fire.

Okay, gotcha.

Where the hell is Bill?

You ready?

Yeah, let's go on.

Yeah, Julie, lighting department.

Harold, stand back from this,

I might have to turn around.

Harold, stand back from this,

I might have to turn around.

Okay, we are now heading...

We are now heading... okay.

We are now little white midgets.

Shut up.

We are now heading upstairs

The Hollows Grove orphanage.

The second floor was where they would

Keep many lifers,

And children who were short on time.

Since so many of the children

Were abused and molested,

We can bet if their

spirits still linger,

They're not going to be happy.

In fact, two nurses committed suicide

On this floor in the 1940s.

In fact, two nurses committed suicide

On this floor in the 1940s.

No one knows why exactly.

Shirley Crane was one of these nurses.

Ms. Crane jumped out of a window

Head first into the concrete outside.

The second was Millie Farber.

She tied herself up to a water pipe

And jumped off the stool.

Both of these incidents

happened in room 205.

It is said that in 1951,

a janitor named Mr. Jessop

Saw a nurse he didn't recognize

Walking down the

hallway with... laundry.

She went into an empty room,

And when Mr. Jessop went to follow

And see who she was,

She vanished.

It also should be noted

that a lot of people

Had heard strange noises

on the second floor.

Moans and whispers.

Let's see what we find.

Woah, look at the size of that hole.

Let's not forget that

when we head upstairs.

Duly noted.

Let's start with these...

Doors on the left

And then see what we find?

Sounds like a plan.

That's just me.

Seems like pretty poor conditions.

These windows were opened

Approximately 10 hours a day,

No matter what the weather,

Approximately 10 hours a day,

No matter what the weather,

In the hopes of curing some

Of the children's illnesses.

In the hopes of curing some

Of the children's illnesses.

I guess that didn't work.

Visiting doctors used to perform

Experimental treatments on the children.
