The Haunting of Hannah Williams

five four four holy water three three we're being watched two two i hate this and a one [Music] this week on the season finale of buzzfeed unsolved we're going to be doing things a little bit differently in the past we've investigated famous houses buildings attractions museums but what all these places have in common is that they either were only active in the past or because they're famous they've been thoroughly investigated it occurred to me that to find a place that is truly active we'd have to investigate a home that is not only active now but

is currently lived in we'd have to make a house call so here we are a home to a family of four that reached out to us to hopefully help them find out who or what is inside their home who are these people the mother who reached out to us is a colleague of ours hannah williams hannah's given us the opportunity here to do two things one find and document evidence of a ghost and prove once and for all that ghosts are real yeah you like that keep going two we could finally help somebody and uh

judging by what hannah has told me she's going to need a little bit of help and uh frankly this house uh kind of terrifies me i don't know if you can tell how nervous i am right now but without further ado shall we get this over with let's let's slink on in my heart's beating so fast well i've thought about it i hate it yeah you got a funny way about you right now yeah let's uh take a seat in the dark what was that there was a noise over there yeah no [ __ ]

what was that i don't know let's go find out we don't live here we hear what you've done here i know what you're up to there was a noise i'm not scared of you where's that noise again it's coming from over here somewhere well let's set up camp here why are these picture frames that's a handsome man okay let's sit down all right we're here on the couch i will show you what i've brought to protect myself because i have a feeling that whatever's in here may not be that nice holy water yeah shall we

get into it i don't know in july 2018 hannah williams her husband matt and her three-year-old and six-year-old sons moved into a new home in los angeles california at first the move was stressful as all moving situations are but overall ordinary and for the first three weeks in the home things remained exactly that ordinary but then one night hannah and her family started to hear what sounded like footsteps coming from the attic loud enough that it woke her up in the dead of the night it made it a little difficult to sleep at first just

because oh they were that loud yeah like new but new noises too i think where i'm like new noises i didn't hear this in my old house oh i see so it's weird to me so it took a little adjusting being skeptical in nature hannah and her husband assumed it must have been the typical woodcreeks that come along with the home but as time went on the footsteps continued and got undeniable around this time hannah would start to notice lights that she turned off would be on when she returned it started to become clear that

this was perhaps beyond the normal circumstances of a house i want to set the record straight right from the jump here seems like they got a lot of smart technology in this home i want to make sure that these lights aren't hooked up to some sort of alexa or a google lady it's the light switch okay this is our first house call so i thought it would be wise to offer all we could to try and solve this so i called in a psychic hi how's it going aj ryan nice to meet you i'm shane

this is the osmo nice to meet you yes that's uh he uh he doesn't believe in any of this so that's awesome just so you know sorry man in case you're wondering why he's being an a-hole it's gonna be a tough time tonight one night hannah and her husband were awoken by the sound of their alarm system being triggered when they went down to investigate the alarm disarmed itself the alarm system monitors all entries such as windows and doors the way it works is when it sets off the alarm trips for 30 seconds and you

have 30 seconds to disarm it before it goes into full blown alarm mode so one night at about four in the morning the alarm tripped and man and i both bolted up and he ran to like we both didn't know what to do either because i'm like if someone's breaking in do we turn the alarm off or what do like do we see if someone's breaking in it was just very confusing you are also worn thinking i bet you there's a ghoul inside my house you're there oh someone wants to do a juggler steal my

big screen tv exactly so he gets up and he starts looking around and he doesn't see any doors open so he goes to disarm the alarm and it just stops before he goes to disarm it and that was weird um but what was weirder is when we went to look at the log to see what sensor tripped it there was no record of the alarm ever tripping it's your first ghost hunt aj uh no oh we've never worked with a medium before so how does it work you walk in you give uh you give like

a reading of the room maybe what you're sensing yeah kind of so what i do i kind of go through each home or location i pick up hot cold spots or the vibration that i pick up here there's also residual energy of the home the land and also the people that live in it so typically what i do pick up is either the people living in the home their energy their loved ones the home itself what happened here or what happened here on the land itself before this home was built so we did the investigation

uh this is all the stuff that we found i'm going to present it to you room by room i'm also going to tell you the things that the psychic said so if any of that is relevant to you then we could talk about that so i mean my hope has always been that you guys would go spend the night nothing happens we all move on well i will say this and this is not hyperbole in in the slightest this is by far the most evidence we've ever found in any place by a considerable margin oh

my god are you serious okay boy let's just jump into it we'll see aj had mentioned that there is a mischievous energy in this house with that person or thing like to present itself you can present yourself as a full-bodied apparition or fba we just want to talk and that's it we're not here to hurt you so we're going to give you a little bit of silence right now and uh you can do whatever you like what are you working at shane what are you smoking at looks like that dresser has eyes i just saw

him looking at me if anyone is here can you tell us your name if it's too hard to speak can you move something there's two flashlights on that table could you move one of the flashlights i don't know if you guys are connected to the homeowners you still talk with him but i do believe there is a father figure that is passed over because it feels like there's like a father figure that is connected here to the home i keep on hearing the name don or ron like don or donald is connected here that's not

staff so oh my gosh that's crazy oh my god i'm sorry sorry that was just so surprising are you okay yeah that's what it's dad don donald wow for the record off camera he also identified my grandpa that just passed a couple weeks before this investigation and told me things that um i said to him on his deathbed and i don't know how he knew those things so wow oh my gosh that's incredible yeah i mean it was it's a lot okay oh wow moving on i'm like shaking right now yeah i know i was

too oh if we need to stop you can let me okay all right now this is a weird departure but now we're going straight to ghost town okay okay got some spooky rain falling outside let's close this door let's close this door ooh yeah that's a ghost well it's not one of us that's very distinct that's a very distinct shush this is gonna be a long day this is gonna be a long day however up to this point the footsteps the lights turning on and off and the alarm malfunction could all be chalked up to

coincidence but one night in august something would happen in hannah's bedroom that would change that so what started happening is every night jackson would come he'd come into our room in the middle of the night go around to my side of the bed and stand there until i noticed him totally creepy one night he i felt him standing next to the bed um and i rolled over and it was not jackson it was a a girl a little bit older than jackson just standing there where he stands she was the 11 year old maybe my

first instinct was more annoyed like what are you like and so then i just rolled back over it was like not gonna happen for you you saw the specter of a little girl in your room and you were like i gotta catch up on some z's see you later the next morning i woke up and i was like what was that because my first instinct always as a skeptic i'm like i was dreaming so i woke up and then jackson was in bed next to me and he sits up and starts waking up and the

first thing he does is turn to me and ask who's blank and he says a girl's name what was the name he says it was matilda initially my thought was it seems like maybe that could be sleep paralysis you wake up you see something in your room that's very common in a lot of sleep paralysis stories that i read but to have two people say the same thing without you know talking to each other prior about it it's an odd coincidence that's kind of hard to explain okay so right now we're heading into the master

bedroom obviously this is another one of the big players in this house this is where also the little girl presented herself to hannah we just got a chills all right we're gonna put this the obvious on fanatic mode yeah this investigation marks our first time using a device referred to as the ovulus the ovulus is a device used to communicate with spirits that takes environmental readings such as electromagnetic fields and temperature and then through those environmental readings produces phonetic noises that sometimes form words the theory being that spirits can manipulate the environment to speak through

the ovulus okay i'm just gonna put it right on the bed right but where hannah sleeps oh look at all the mirrors in here too i know this is probably why there's a lot of activity in here because of the mirrors yeah mirrors are said to be portals right openings doors hi hi we're talking directly again to matilda if that's actually her name we're talking to the little girl that keeps showing herself in this house if you are in fact a little girl can you please show yourself can you prove yourself that you're here in

this room with us can you check the back of my um my arm are you getting a scratch oh that was weird here right right there is there anything there no really okay it just started to burn started to burn it could be my head probably who's here is it matilda we don't got all night dork yeah that's it who are you here for who are we talking to all right nothing no one i mean they may be scared of you do you fear the tall man if this was an other scenario and they thought

we were ghosts could you imagine how frightening you would be i see a tall man he wears squares just to really razz them just or if they do think i'm a ghost i'm gonna give them the scare of their life right now okay [Laughter] i feel like there's a family still kind of connected here as if they're stuck here in some unique way and i don't feel like that they're stuck in a negative way that they don't want to leave i just feel like because they died in a tragic event here so they don't like

that they're here set boundaries is what you guys need to do and say like look we live here we're protecting the family we're looking out for them this is what we need to do it feels like as if like someone's hanging in some way so i don't know if this wall was here originally or this was all open but for some reason i want to walk through this and kind of walk through here so i don't know what they know about the property or the home itself the attic is above us right now but i

don't is it okay but how do you get to the attic um oh i see in the cloud oh boy [ __ ] that with a capital f yeah what does it look like here what why do you not want us to do this what'd you say this is just comically horrific right how are we going to open it i don't know i want to peek up there i don't think i could physically fit up there no no no no it's impossible no no but we want to open this first okay let's do it [Music]

you know it's a lot of wood what's with your eyes right now what are you doing it feels like we need to go back into august i don't know why august is significant but it feels like it was a turning point like july august feels like it was a turning point for the family they moved in july and in august is when they first saw okay the little girl this is what i mean i don't feel like there's a little girl here and even though there may see this little girl i don't get a little

girl here has jackson never said what he looked like whenever i bring it up to jackson he does not want to talk about it he gets very upset like teary-eyed yeah i think i'd be upset too i actually asked him before coming here just if he would talk to me about it a little bit and what he this is real creepy he said well you know i see people in my room a lot and then what he said was somebody asked him that night are you ready for matilda wait so this is a second party

that's asking this i don't know and he was truly so upset talking about it so what he said and i'm getting like chills what he said he saw was men and women women wearing white and men wearing white pants and women wearing white dresses and they were standing facing his closet there was like some sort of murder homicide there's that type of feeling that is connected here but there's hands that cause the situation to happen here and i feel like there's actually two males that are involved here in some unique way as well he said

he wasn't afraid but he said he didn't want to say anything and he didn't want them to turn around but it was it's just a weird visual like why are all these people facing his closet after telling this story jackson was visibly upset and hannah being a concerned mother trying to get to the bottom of what was happening to her family in her home asked jackson to draw a picture of the little girl i'm scared to unfold this uh okay so it's a crude drawing it's a six-year-old drawing sure thank you that's good like it

now i will say a lot of negatives it's definitely an interesting use of the real estate uh it's a very big piece of paper well your kids got small hands you know yeah it's a child's drawing it's essentially if someone drew a smiley face and you said yeah that looks like the guy that robbed me oh i thought you were going to say someone drawing you in which case this amount of paper would make sense just for the head alone although crude the drawing reflected what hannah saw the outfit and the hair specifically due to

the fact that both jackson and hannah saw the same girl it became fairly difficult for hannah to deny that there was something strange going on inside her house acknowledging such a fact is inconvenient and beyond that what could hannah and her family do besides tried to live through it hannah continued to sleep through the loud noises in the night continue to ignore lights turning on and off and tried to not think about what entities could possibly be visiting her son while she slept after telling these stories to friends one concerned friend decided to sleep over

to see if she could help hannah confirm that she wasn't going crazy in the middle of the night alex awoke to her surprise to the little girl standing in front of her but bizarrely much like hannah she felt a sense of calm watch over her and the little girl reached out her hand alex reached out to touch it and when she made contact she felt a jolt of energy and suddenly the little girl was gone this is where hannah's friend was sleeping over on this couch and they saw the apparition once again of the little

girl you said you had felt something around the fireplace correct really it's kind of like a negative energy that's that's connected here in some ways fun all right is there anything in this room anybody that lives in this house or resides in this room in particular that wants to present itself to us right now uh you could touch one of us hell you could even uh you could even scratch the big guy hell scratch the big guy he's the big guy a lot of skin to scratch matilda give it your best what was that did

you hear that i make it could be the wood creaking convenient oh that's fun a little tap tap up there that's right where he was saying he thought maybe something was hanging but okay can you step forward please can you make one of these devices i heard that too right from up from above you say them all the time you hear the bangs all the time does that sound like what it normally sounds like yeah okay and it's one and it's like a yeah come step forward please who's over there follow the light follow my

voice i'm over here is it happening has the haunt begun please come out right now instead of later please i'm begging you well i guess i'll just go [ __ ] myself then huh right [Applause] funny joke demon ghost i don't know assorted ghouls traveling circus i don't know what the [ __ ] going on in this house i'm gonna be alone later that's gonna be fun it'll be hilarious yeah laugh it up you're laughing over on the other side hahahaha very funny i'll tell you one thing i'm gonna have this flashlight in my hand

i'll whip you across the the ghost skull are you you're going crazy man i'm scared yeah i know alex's experience was confirmation for hannah after alex's sighting of the little girl that made three different people that had all seen the same thing in separate locations in the house what was the most odd to hannah was the fact that whatever this little girl is it seems to have a calming influence on people which offers the greater question of what are this entity's intentions is it dangerous shortly after alex's experience hannah got somewhat of an answer our

master bedroom has a lock from the inside so you can lock somebody out and there's a keyhole on the outside and for us having little kids that's not safe because i i know one of my kids will lock us out from the inside of the room and think it's very funny so we decided to leave the key in the keyhole it opens inwards so there's no way the key would hit the wall or anything if somebody flung the door open a little bit after my friend had her thing in the night i heard my husband

asking the kids if they had done something and i went to look and he showed me that the key in the keyhole was bent at about like a 45 degree angle which i think could happen if it was like smashed into the wall or something um but it opened inward and so first of all it's not something a kid would have done without like having a lot of damage to themselves like if they had hit it with their hands or something like that would hurt yeah um so we went to try to bend it back

and it just it would not budge we tried or i tried matt tried it would not bend back and you were trying to do this with what like tools or even your hands we got tools hands and i know i didn't do it and he knows he didn't do it and the kids could not have done this and there's no way it hit the wall so that was the one physical thing that was just hard to explain hannah felt that whatever was in the house may be a little aggressive and it's during this time that

she came into contact with us in hopes that we would find out what was truly going on inside her home and that hopefully we could fix it looking into the house's history i found that only two families lived here before and found no reports of paranormal activity so either the activity started when hannah arrived or perhaps prior residents could have been reaching out to entities themselves before hannah and her family moved in when looking into the history of the land before it would become a home it appears that the house is situated on a plot

of land that was once part of wheat fields so nothing sinister there which brings us to the original question who and what is this entity that haunts hannah's home based on the timeline of events the showing of aggression and prior cases we've investigated namely the sally house in kansas i'm unfortunately inclined to believe that the entity presenting itself as a little girl is not a little girl at all our past research indicates that oftentimes the spirits of children are in fact demons in disguise alright so right now we are entering jackson's room which as you

know shane is a swirl at all the more active rooms in this house i will not pretend that i have the vision of any sort or i'm not spiritually sensitive but i hate the way i feel in here yeah i was gonna say that there is some sort of old energy that's here old yeah like ancient yes i mean for me it feels like it's weight it's not even just the homeowners it's not their loved ones not now that's connected here so i think there's multiple layers that are there are happening is it human i

believe it takes form of a human if that's the best way i can describe that very good because it feels very good because it feels like it like overlays itself in some ways the same like yeah hops and banks right do have my vial of holy water here so great good i'm good they here walking out there huh what they hear walking the owners they hear walking everywhere yeah i hear walking like now yeah it's she said it's so loud that it wakes her up no like i hear it like with my oh like i

hear it like psychically as if i'm hearing walking not a physical like spiritually how does that don't like that so i believe there's actually foots like like shuffling is the best way i can describe like someone's shuffling their feet like dragging their feet in some ways but i feel like i'm also dragging something on the floor so there's something very heavy with it that i feel like that's also connected here boy that's a good that's sort of a good campfire tale uh feet but also sort of a drive for a second huh i thought her

whimpering sorry go again say what you were saying i don't know i just saw this is it her i just heard that devin are you are you speaking out there no i swear i just heard that as well yeah i thought she was laughing i thought so too were you laughing what the [ __ ] i did hear it okay so that's matt me and aj all hearing the same like laughing but what's weird is we don't catch it on we don't catch it in audio i don't know what that is it's messing with your

brains when we're talking about this kind of stuff and we're maybe exposing whatever is in here are they aware of that or they don't do they not like us you know exposing their ruse i suppose no they love it because what you're doing you're feeding into their energy so if you're like saying like hey i'm afraid of it but let's try to contact it like you're feeding to that so you're giving them more power more energy in some ways to say like well see the language let's [ __ ] with you now hmm so let's

feed it let's feed it we hear that there are two men two women in here and we also hear that there's a little girl in here and the little girl in particular is who i'm talking to perhaps goes by the name of matilda can you say your name are you actually a little girl i think you're not i heard no just wrapped up my head you just heard no no well that's fine what are you stop hiding you coward and also why the pigtails it's a little it's a little cliche oh god i don't want

to say this what i'm not scared of you so please say your name he's lying but please say your name i have a vile holy water what do you have me well here's uh you put this hipple pig that's gotta be tough to okay how about like a teddy bear all right buddy calm down [Laughter] or did it make a noise i wasn't expecting it man i was grabbing the teddy bear jesus criminy oh my oh put your ghost hunting light back on so we now give you the room please communicate with us and step

forward [Music] okay we're leaving almighty why do i every time i get near this stupid box like i said your name yeah i know it's not like i said right yeah it did kind of sound like it said my name okay we're leaving i'm turning it off here's your chance three three are you kidding me it's not done what do you want to say i'm going you oh my hair's just rising like this what the [ __ ] dude ah yeah the hair is rising up in my arm too wow actually i've actually got goosebumps

right now too oh i actually see that's involuntary i'm not like i don't have chills i think there's just an energy in the room do you not want me to leave i'm going to turn this off more time please can you say that again please i'm talking to you can you say that again please who are you i don't know if you caught that but this lit up red oh the temperature changed what do you want with this house what do you want with me oh this just ran out why are you playing with me

just speak why do i have to threaten every time i'm going to turn it off for sure this time do you hate ryan does he know i hate this last chance five five he's mocking you're mocking me huh you think this is funny because i don't do you want me to say i'm gonna you want me to count down again i'm gonna turn it off in five seconds five four three two stop i think so not sure i would go back and listen to that audio is there a matilda here are we speaking with matilda

all right you're gonna make me do it again i'm gonna turn this off in five seconds and i mean it this time five five you don't have anything on your hands are you that's triggering it or no that's oh i'm holding it my entire entire time that's crazy are we talking with matilda you are shut up this is [ __ ] crazy this is crazy uh if that's true say your name i need to hear your name otherwise i'm not gonna believe it if you're really taking this uh this whole i'm a child thing this

far i respect the method but i'm starting to get frustrated you're going to make me count down again all right okay here we go i'm turning it off in five four three two one wow all right i am out of here that is freaking crazy and on that note we enter the final phase of the investigation sleeping in the house shane will be sleeping in the master bedroom and i will be sleeping in jackson's room well that is horrifying not doing that [ __ ] that open this closet since we've got access to the uh

attic here this way if there's any sort of demon or malevolent spirit they can slink out of the attic and into my body the purring of the spirit box brings me comfort jesus i'm tired all righty ryan's at the other room doing the spirit box i think tonight may have changed him he got uh rattled i guess specifically i'm talking to uh matilda now what was that i wonder if he's going to sleep tonight i have this with me big old bottle of holy water would hurt quite a bit if i dash it oh you

don't like that huh who was that say something again speak i'm gonna sleep tonight i know that much uh oh it suddenly got colder in this room i'm going to sleep now i'm just scared to close my eyes because when i close my eyes i'm scared when i open them there's going to be something standing in front of me good night ghouls if there's any demons in here feel free to slither into my heart alrighty it is morning time exhausted slept in my contacts for an hour just another day at the office for the unsolved

boys i hope hannah finds some sort of solace in the work we did here tonight um and we did do work just reflecting back on it let's reflect back on it for just a brief moment yeah we probably didn't do much but uh see you later whatever's in there you had your opportunity you blew it you messed up man you blew it and now you're dead already was dead but yeah well double dead you have now seen the evidence of our investigation what are your thoughts to that what's your reaction to that i'm kind of

confused still it's it's a confusing it's confusing because it's like it might be bad but not frankly it sounds like there's a ghoul war going on in your home and different ghouls from different areas identities yeah and they're all vying for ownership i would really like to to know for sure like what what it is i don't know if you're ever gonna get that no but you can't what you can do is you could take the precautions between the psychics readings and the plethora of evidence captured i feel safe in saying that there is definitely

something haunting hannah's home i can only hope that our investigation provided answers for hannah and her family at the very least proper steps to cleanse the home have been taken to ensure their safety yet shane and skeptics believe that the evidence captured is by no means definitive and consequently whether or not hannah's home is definitively haunted will remain unsolved [Laughter] hey everybody if you're a fan of buzzfeed unsolved good news we have new merch and a new store
