Voodoo Possession Page #2

You'll find this

village has many secrets.

Is there a secret

Starbucks around somewhere?

'Cause I'd love a Frappuccino.

Jeez, p*ssy.

Please, let's continue.

Aaahh!

Maybe I should get your back.

What was that about?

My apologies.

We are in a mental hospital

with very few staff.

Some patients we allow to roam freely,

but others we must restrain.

We've had to move this

one a few times already.

Please.

Let's get you settled, huh?

Feel free to use our

lobby as your workplace.

It is much more comfortable here.

Oh, hello.

It's great.

Welcome home.

This is really great.

Ewenso, desann bou ou

ak pran yo nan chanm yo!

Hey, Boss.

We're American news crew, right?

Yeah.

Well, I was gonna go

on that Starbucks run,

just f***in' with you,

there's no Starbucks,

but when I came back

this was on the doorstep.

Has Bree seen this?

No, you're the first.

"I heard you're investigating

the hospital disappearances.

"My friend worked at the hospital,

"he sent me this before he vanished.

"I am not in a position to help,

but maybe you Americans can.

Sincerely, a friend of Emmanuel. "

Shall we?

Yeah.

Yes, indeed.

All right, so these files are huge

so they're taking forever to load

so we're just gonna watch

them, one by one, okay?

Is the camera on now?

It's on?

Cody.

Okay, here we go.

Entry number seven, in

Project Resurrection,

exploring voodoo's role in seizures

associated with autoscopy

of temporal lobe epilepsy.

I'm Dr. Cody Chase.

This is hospital

administrator, Billy Kross.

Behind the camera is

our assistant, Emmanuel.

And this is our newest patient,

dubbed by the orderlies

as, Ke Kontan Nonm,

or Happy Man.

So, what's this guy's story?

School principal.

Post traumatic stress disorder

after the earthquake killed

a bunch of his students.

Probably couldn't handle the guilt.

Looks like he had time for art classes.

Yeah, he's been drawing

these voodoo symbols

the last few days.

We're gonna need a real voodoo priest

to analyze this.

Have to call Papa J.

Doc, the voodoo in this

place is off the deep end,

even for Haiti.

I don't like swimmin' in the deep end.

The fact that the

village is, is a magnet

for Haitian black magic,

could be a godsend.

I mean, we have all these resources

at our fingertips to help us.

Help us?

They think this place is cursed.

They say these patients aren't crazy.

They're possessed by voodoo spirits.

You- you sound like you're

starting to believe it.

All I know is, patients

have been disappearing.

- I've heard rumors.

- Yeah.

Or, or they could

have just wandered off.

We don't have the resources

to watch every patient 24/7.

I'm saying there's some strange

stuff going on in this village.

Stuff that we will never

even begin to understand.

Alright, well, what

do you want me to do?

We've done everything

known to western medicine

at our disposal,

it is time to try something else.

It's easy to fear the

things we don't understand.

We just need to understand it.

I need you to document some

research on this for me.

I'll review it when I get back.

Back?

Where are you going?

Gonna go to the village.

I'm gonna find Papa J.

We need our voodoo priest back.

Entry 12 in Project Resurrection.

Today's class:
Voodoo 101.

"Voodoo is an ancient religion

"that worships a supreme, silent god.

"This silent god works through

countless lesser spirits

"who interact with the human world. "

Okay, now can you get

some shots of this stuff,

you know, and edit it in?

"Each spirit has their

own aspect of life

"they rule over.

"Such as Erzulie Dantor,

the goddess of romance

"and jealousy.

"Baron Samedi, the god of death.

"Kalfu, black magic,

"guardian of the entrance

to the spirit world,

"the crossroads. "

Boy, this stuff is

really creepin' me out.

Here.

This is about the drawing

we found in Happy Man's room.

"Voodoo has symbols representing

"various voodoo spirits.

"Each spirit has his or her own symbol

"which can vary from region to region

"and serves as a beacon

for the spirit world.

"During voodoo rituals the

symbols are usually drawn

"on the floor and call the spirit

"to descend towards earth. "

Holy...

Every house of voodoo

worships differently.

Papa J's house believes that the demons

are in the deepest, darkest corners

of the spirit world.

Papa J gives this place a name,

lanfe' vodou.

This is where they keep

their possessed souls.

Here, Cody, check this out.

"The bizango

"are a black magic secret

society of sorcerers

"who use voodoo to serve the more evil

"and violent spirits. "

See, this is what I was talking about.

I been hearing rumors about the bizango

kidnapping patients.

People say they take them

deep into the abandoned

areas of the building

for human sacrifices.

I been hearing things at

night, and I know you have, too.

This place is cursed.

And if we don't leave, so are we.

Check this out.

No...

No, no, no, no.

It froze, this video's

corrupt or something.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Can you fix it?

Y... Yeah, I think so,

it's just, last time

this happened it took,

like, a whole day to debug, so...

Come on, man.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Hello?

Yes, I am looking for Papa J.

My name is Aiden,

I'm with a television

company from the United States

and I was wondering

if I could just ask you

a few questions...

Well, yes, I am staying

at the Saint Dymphna.

Um, is there any way

that I could just as...

Hello?

Hi, yes, uh, my name is Aiden

and I'm working with an

American television company.

I was wondering if I could

just ask you a few questions

regarding the disappearance...

Hello?

Hey.

Coffee?

How's it going?

Something's wrong with

the phones in this country,

they keep dropping my calls.

Maybe they didn't like

my brother, either.

Yeah, you hate your brother so much

you flew all the way

over here to save him.

You have a lump of coal for a heart.

I have a heart?

Maybe I should get

one these witch doctors

to operate on me to find it, huh?

Hm.

Maybe.

Actually, we prefer houngan.

Jean Drouillard, assistant to Papa J,

at your service.

Witch doctor.

I assisted Papa J when

he consulted Dr. Cody

on voodoo treatments for the patients.

I was not here when he disappeared.

Well, we do appreciate your help.

The best way to help you,

and your stupid American reality TV,

is to ask you to leave this village.

You trying to scare us

stupid Americans away

with your voodoo bullshit?

Ah, stupid Americans.

Voodoo is a world religion.

Over 400 years old.

It's a melange of African traditions

and European Christianity.

You should not reject

what you do not understand.

You should not fear the people of Haiti,

you should fear its spirits.

What happens to all of us in life

is the will of the spirits.

They must be honored

in ceremony and ritual.

If the spirits are

satisfied with our offerings

they will bring good fortune.

And if they're not satisfied?
