Wait, I Thought Ghosts Couldn't Go Near Water?

9:01: Everyone gathers to go to Nantucket.

9:02: Everyone leaves as Grant tells us it could be a residual haunt while Jason is happy he can go home at the end. They arrive at the Slater Mill and meet Cheryl, their tour guide.

9:03: Cheryl gives us the history of the mill and how children used to work there. Cheryl tells us people feel like they are being watched in the tower. Cheryl says she feels there are still people working there.

9:04: A machine people have heard run when it wasn’t. When someone tried to alarm the building one day, the security company said people were walking around on the third floor. No one was there.

9:05: The attic can feel cold, even in July. The personal stories keep coming.

9:06: Jason sums up the case as a largely auditory case and that water may have something to do with why it’s so haunted.

9:07: Everything is set up! Lights out.

9:08: Jason and Grant go to the water wheel with the thermal camera. They start a session talking with the ghosts with the K2.

9:09: Meter goes off.

9:13: The meter indicates they are talking to a boy ghost. So, they start the EVP.

9:14: The ghost likes to work in the mill and lived in Central Falls. Grant restates the same questions to make sure they get the same answers. Light show!

9:15: Jason freaks out and feels cold.

9:16: Grant breaks out the thermometer. Temp continually drops and Jason is freezing. Cut to Tango and Steve. Steve freaks out as Tango laughs.

9:17: Jason and Grant continue to move and see if the ghost is following them. He is. The ghost says there are four people in the room, which there are.

9:18: The ghost agrees that there are two bald people in the room. Grant is ecstatic but Jason asks if the ghost is lonely.

9:19: Jason invites the ghost home? The hell? He texts his wife. Oh, I can imagine she would love that message. “hi ghost comin home w/me. xo. j.”

9:20: Kris and the other guy hear a machine. They go and investigate.

9:24: Steve and Tango are in the attic. Tango feels slightly dizzy, but Dave thinks the spinning wheel was giving him the feeling and not a ghost.

9:25: The move to the basement where they run into the spiders. We all know how Steve hates spiders. They wrap and being analysis.

9: 26: Steve and Tango argue about whether or not Tango is growing a goatee than turn to the evidence. Steve hears something.

9:27: Everyone is called in. Steve plays the audio. They think it sounds like a cat, but they know they would’ve heard that. He plays another audio.

9:28: Time for the reveal.

9:30: They play the second audio piece. It sounds like “hello” but with the tone of “Geronimo.”

9:31: Humphrey? That’s what the other audio bit sounded like to me. They show her their session with the K2.

9:36: Grant and Jason says good-bye and drive off to Case #2: Pettibone Tavern.

9:37: They want Taps to investigate before renovations begin after a fire. It looks like a beautiful Colonial-era house. The tour guide, Chris, tells us about the fire and praises the sprinkler system.

9:38: We get the story of Abigail, who married a sea captain but was dallying with a local. Her husband wasn’t too thrilled and beheaded both. We are told of a painting of Abigail and her mother, which was restored after Abigail was cut out.

9:39: The ladies room is haunted. Of course. It’s bad enough there is always a line for the ladies room. We don’t need ghosts! Tour continues.

9:40: Set up starts. Can’t go lights out as there are no lights due to the fire.

9:41: Investigation starts. Jason and Grant go to the basement to do some EMF work.

9:42: Jason has the thermal as he continues to investigate. He sees something.

9:46: Jason and Grant realize it was just a reflection off some pipes.

9:47: Grant and Jason go to see if the EMF field off the breaker box goes up through the floor. And it does. Cut to Steve and Tango. Someone is clearly seen in the background as Steve decides to light the candles to see if something will relight them.

9:48: Steve goes into debunking mode. He thinks the smell of the horse manure comes through the vents. They go and check the candles—still out.

9:49: Jason and Grant go to investigate the ladies room, once Abigail’s bedroom. They start a session, trying to lure Abigail out. All they get is that the toilet looks like an angel on the thermal.

9:50: Kris and Tango fit themselves into an old phone booth. Then Kris realizes they are trapped in there. Tango starts to panic as Kris reveals she had her foot there. But they are still stuck until they wiggle the door open.

9:51: Clean up. Kris goes to investigate the house of the Pettibone Tavern and asks the local history society for help.

9:52: There were Abigail Pettibones, but no proof that one was murdered. In fact, that rumor was started when the house was turned into a tavern.

9:53: Kris and the Historian go over the painting. While it is of a Pettibone, the child is most likely the woman’s son. Oops.

9:56: Reveal. No personal experiences, no evidence.

9:57: They explain the EMF and how it matched up in the creepy feeling spots. Jason talks about the research. They squash the main story of the house. But they say that activity may start up again after the renovations begin and they want to explore it more.

9:59: Chris is still a believer. Jason and Grant leave.
