Ghost Bait: Farm House

I discovered the Bio channel show Ghost Bait a few weeks ago and wrote about the first episode on the blog, so now it’s time to write about another episode, which is entitled “Farm House.”  I really wish there were more episodes of this, but so far there are only three, and my DVR would never let me download the second one. : (  “Farm House” aired in September and focuses on a 250-year-old farm house in eastern Pennsylvania.  The ParaCORE team (team leader Bob Magill, lead investigator Aimee, tech supervisor Mallie, and researcher Bill) meets with Lindsey and Chris, the residents of the farm house, and Lindsey tells them that a “dark shadowy figure” has been seen there ever since she was a child.  She also says that she has heard voices upstairs and that she saw a “black shadow man coming down the steps” of the basement  with red eyes and an axe or knife.  Lindsey's brother says that when playing outside as children, they could see "glowing red eyes" in the upstairs windows.

In the third floor bedroom, the cameraman feels something touch him; Bill and Amy check out the room, and when they ask if there's a shadow man there, something hits Bill on the side of his face and leaves a scratch. The team calls in psychic medium Karyn Reece (and her psychic cat Rosie...how exactly would you know that a cat is psychic?), who says that there is an evil male presence there, that she sees him in the doorway, and that he says he's coming for Bob and her.  In the basement, Karyn senses witchcraft and a manuscript. A historian tells Bob that in the 1920s a man named Nelson Ryemeyer was murdered by John Rhymer, who wanted his Book of Shadows because he thought Nelson was hexing him; the book has never been found, but it's rumored to be on the property.

Now it's time to reel the ghost in with some human bait!  Bob puts a hood over Lindsey's head and sends her to the third floor after telling her to ask the spirit questions.  After Lindsey asks why the spirit is there, she hears a noise and thinks something is there; she hears another noise, so she follows it.  Bob asks her to go to the basement, so Lindsey does and asks the spirit if it wants the book, and something jumps at her.  On the thermal video, a figure appears behind Lindsey when she asks about the book (creepy!).  Karyn senses that the Book of Shadows is still on the property, but isn't sure where, so Bob decides to try to find another copy.  He succeeds and has Lindsey place the book in a circle of stones; the Shadow Man has not been seen on the property since that day.

Ghost Bait: Demon House

I recently discovered a new paranormal show called Ghost Bait, and I'll warn you not to watch it alone at night.  I've watched a few episodes of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures, but Ghost Bait is scarier than those shows...the point of the show is that the investigators use their client's fear to try "to draw the spirits out and find out why they're here."  The first episode is called "Demon House" and deals with a haunted 140-year-old house whose owner has lived there nine years and cannot sell the place.  The ParaCORE team (team leader Bob Magill, lead investigator Aimee, tech supervisor Mallie, and researcher Bill) meets with Billy, the homeowner, who says he has never spent the night in the house.  Inside the house, Billy shows the team the staircase and tells them that the higher he climbs the more uncomfortable he feels; he also says that his 8-year-old son hears and feels people on the stairs and doesn't like going into one of the upstairs bedrooms because he hears a little girl in there.  Billy tells the team that in the 1940s, a young girl went missing, and though her body was never found, it was believed that she was murdered in the house; as Billy tells this story, a light bulb explodes and scares the crap out of everyone!

Aimee checks out the upstairs bedroom and notes that it is very cold; she hears a noise, then the electromagnetic field detector (EMF) goes off.  Bob calls in psychic medium C.J. Sellers, and when she enters the bedroom, she senses the presence of a sad child and a mentally-challenged male.  Bill and Aimee find a doll buried under a pile of rocks in the crawlspace.  The team decides that Billy will be used as ghost bait in the upstairs bedroom, so they cover his head and put a heart monitor on him.  Once in the bedroom, Billy tells the spirits that they need to leave, and the room temperature suddenly drops...then the comforter starts moving on its own as if someone is unmaking the bed! So creepy! After the team shows Billy the footage, they decide to put a gravestone in the yard, hoping that the spirit of the child will find closure.  Excavators found no remains in the crawlspace, and Billy's son says that the girl is no longer there.

Ghost Bait is a creepy show, and it's only half an hour, so try to catch an episode if you can (it airs on the Bio channel).  I wish there were more than three episodes because I want to watch so many more!
