The Maryville

Paranormal Institute.

- We're not even close. -The

Villisca axe murder house.

Last video. Big finish.

- No.

- You promised.

- You promised to help me pack

last night.

Instead we got drunk, so..

- Well, me and your

"high school equivalency.."

This isn't even a real diploma.

- What are you..

What.. What are you doing?

- We're going to Villisca.

- No, no, no.

- Oh, no. Did I rip it...

- Don't, don't, don't! Denny!

Give me that...

- Now, easy.

- Denny, really,

don't make me hurt you.

-Hurt?

-Give it! Give it to me!

- What, what, what?

- Quit f***ing around..

-Hah.

- Oh.

- Am I interrupting something?

-Hey.

- Your name is Jessica, right?

This is Denny.

- Yeah. We gotta go, dude.

We're gonna miss our tour.

- Where are you guys going?

- Somewhere you're not.

Ow.

- You wanna come?

- Are you sure?

I mean, it seems like you guys

have it all figured out.

Ca... Ca... Caleb, we don't have

room for her on the scooter.

-I can drive.

- Great, let me get my jacket.

- Dude, what the f***, man?

I only made reservations

for 2 people.

- Denny, they're not even

gonna give a sh*t

if we bring one more person.

Use your brain.

-I like your jacket.

- Yeah, I know.

That's why I wear it.

-Okay. Let's go.

-Here.

- He doesn't have a license.

- Then drive carefully.

-Okay. Come on, Denny.

It's the way to Villisca.

-Shot gun.

-This is a nice car.

- So, where are we

going exactly?

-Villisca.

- Isn't that like

a sinus medication?

- What? You know what

I'm talking about?

The axe murder house.

Everyone knows what that is.

- I'm not from here.

Well, I guess that's something

that's good about you.

Dude! 74 views on our

last video!

- I'm driving here!

- Oh.

-What is he talking about?

- We do this video ch... YouTube

Channel thing with Supernatural.

- MPI. We're the Maryville

Paranormal Institute...

I got it. Caleb and I are..

No. We're ghost hunters.

We hunt ghosts! Yeah.

- He can be a little

intense about it.

-No, it's.. It's cool.

Let's run

Forget

Ourselves

We'll find a way

In the sunshine

Let's run

Forget

Ourselves

Where is everybody?

-They're all dead.

Oh, I'm kind of not joking.

Back in the day, there was

this Indian tribe here

and they called this area

"Wallisca."

They used to bury their

outcasts and their insane

in shallow graves here

so they couldn't move on.

- You mean like that movie

"Poltergeist?"

Little girl, broken TV?

- But this is something

different, Jess.

8 people, 6 of them kids

got their heads smashed in

in 1912.

- You scared yet?

- Totally.

- Are you Denny?

- Yes, sir.

- Hah. I was just

about to give up and go.

-Well, I'm so glad you didn't.

We... we drove all the way

from Maryville.

-Nice house.

-Alright.

Welcome to the Villisca axe

murder house.

Alright. This is the, uh, foyer.

Okay, so, the murder took place

on the night of June 9th, 1912.

There'd been a big gathering

at the Presbyterian church

in town.

They called it "Children's Day".

Ever since then, this house

has been marked by an evil

greater than you can imagine.

People just like you have seen

and heard..

Um, young lady, this way.

Everything will make more sense

if we start the tour

from upstairs. Come along.

It's believed the killer

entered the house

around midnight

climbed these very stairs..

Right. This way.

J.B. Moore was the first

to get it.

And then his wife, Sarah.

- Mrs. Moore was hit 35 times

on the top of her head

with the blunt side of the axe.

Totes crayballs.

-Uh, beg your pardon?

Let's, uh, go

to the children's room.

It's right down this way.

Come on.

Follow me.

Herman was the oldest child,

he was 11.

Paul was the youngest,

he was only 4.

And Boyd was the middle.

Little Katherine Moore's room

was right over here.

All but one of the victims

were found flat

against their bed.

- Why is the mirror covered?

- Well, they found

all the mirrors

covered that way the next day.

The thought is that the murderer

wanted to cover 'em up

before he began to kill.

- Hey. They caught the killer,

right?

-No.

But there was this one guy

a traveling Presbyterian

minister.

He confessed but was never...

- Reverend Lyn George

Jacklin Kelly.

I did my research.

We come to places like this

all the time.

In his confession

Kelly stated that he woke up

in the middle of the night

hearing windmills in his head.

And then he went for a walk

and ended up here.

- Okay. Thanks.

I'll just put this back.

-What happened to him?

-No one knows.

But, you guys wanna see

something supercool? Ha-ha.

We have the murder weapon.

Right here. Come on.

That, my friends,

is the actual axe itself.

A one-of-a-kind piece

of bloody lowan history

and genuine American

craftsmanship.

-Genuine.

-Okay. Right this way.

-Caleb.

Let me see your teeth.

-Aah!

-Murder boner.

- This is where

Lena and Ina Stillinger died.

They had been guests

of the Moore's that night

due to what happened

to the power.

- The power?

- Yeah.

The electricity

in the whole town

went out the night

of the murders.

- True story.

That's how the Stillinger girls

ended up here.

She was found

in the center of the room.

Her underwear had been removed

and very bad things

had been done to her.

Let's go back to the foyer.

You guys excited

about Halloween?

We have a big event here

this year. Real moneymaker.

I think this is gonna be

our biggest year yet.

I'm gonna buy a paper doll

That I can call my own

A doll that other fellows

Cannot steal

And then the flirty

flirty guys

With their flirty

flirty eyes..

- You shouldn't be in here!

- Let go off me!

- Didn't you see the ropes?

Are you blind?

This room is off limits!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, what's your problem?

- Did you touch anything?

- Are you serious?

Al... al... alright, look, guys,

the show's over.

Let's go, please.

- Okay, okay.

-That's the end of the tour.

-Okay.

Alright, let's go.

-F***.

- Denny, the tour was

kind of lame.

You know, these things

are all hype anyways.

- No, we just didn't see

the whole thing.

We didn't see the bloody clothes

we didn't see

the Children's Day mask.

We didn't even get to go

in the cellar.

Which, apparently,

they take you down there

and, apparently,

it's f***in' awesome.

Probably a shitload

of other stuff, too.

- Look, Denny, we can come back

some other time.

-Did you really just say that?

Why'd you jump the ropes?

-I heard something.

- Really?

- Yeah.

It was like the sound of an old

record player or something.

-Are you f***ing with me?

That sounds awesome.

Yeah, well, then grandma death

popped out

and scared the sh*t out of me,

so..

- She gave you like lazy eyes.

- It was f***in' scary, man.

- Yeah. Well, I guess we should

get back to Maryville.

Finish packing.

Well, maybe we could

take our own tour.

Later tonight?

-What?

- Yeah, we can f***ing break in.

I mean, I didn't see any

alarm system. Did you?
