Author’s note: This is the first of a two-part story about a family plagued by disembodied voices.
Craig McFeeters sat in his home office in Lawson, Mo., on Dec. 22, 2009, when he heard a woman call from outside. The woman’s voice was clear – maybe too clear.
“I heard a woman who sounded like she was outside on the sidewalk about 15 feet from the front door and just outside of my office,” McFeeters said. “I heard a woman fairly loudly and vividly say, ‘Hello? Is anybody home?’”
McFeeters walked to the front door and opened it to an empty sidewalk.
“I fully expected to see a woman standing there,” he said. “I was wondering why wouldn’t she just ring the doorbell or knock on the door? But sometimes when the garage door is open, people will come in the garage so I thought maybe that was it, she didn't know which place to go.”
He looked for a car in the driveway or for a woman walking toward the road, but saw nothing. The houses on either side of his were silent.
“No signs of someone from a neighbor’s house causing the event,” he said. “And it is very cold, so it’s not like someone had their windows open. But the voice wasn’t coming from far away. It was more like from the corner of the room, or just outside of the walls of the house.”
When McFeeters went back inside, he asked his son and daughter who were watching television in the living room if they’d heard “it.”
“Hear what?” his son said.
“You didn’t hear that woman?” McFeeters asked his son. “Then my seven-year-old daughter said, ‘I heard her.’”
McFeeters went toward the hall leading to the garage; the garage was the only place left for the woman to be.
“I walked into the kitchen just knowing I would find a woman standing either in the garage or just outside on the driveway,” he said. But when he opened the door, the garage door was shut, the garage empty. “I knew then for certain that it was a spirit of some sort.”
McFeeters said the woman sounded confused.
“Which is what struck me as odd right from the start,” he said. “Maybe she happened onto this time and space and had no idea what she was doing here. I got the feeling she wasn't from anywhere near this time, like from the 1800s or something.”
Shortly after, his four-year-old daughter began having problems sleeping.
“She has been wetting the bed nightly and she is scared to sleep in her room,” he said. “You know the typical monsters in my room kind of thing. But the strange part is that she really seemed to be telling the truth and describing them.”
His daughter wouldn’t sleep in her room. She would sleep with McFeeters and his wife or on the floor outside her room, but she wouldn’t set foot in there after dark because of the goblins.
After seeing the fear grow in his daughter, McFeeters spoke to two clairvoyants over the telephone. They agreed that something was wrong with his house which, he thought, may account for the disembodied voice.
“They both almost simultaneously said there is a portal opened up in her room from a ceremony done on the land a long time ago,” McFeeters said. “Someone opened it up, and didn't close it properly.”
McFeeters, who feels he’s sensitive to the paranormal, has often been uncomfortable in one part of his daughter’s room.
“Then they proceeded to tell me about that same area that I was picking up (a strange feeling),” he said. “Which was more than spooky – and somehow validating.”
The women told McFeeters how to close the “portal” and the goblins and the fear disappeared – for two nights.
“I did it, but didn't feel that I had closed it properly,” McFeeters said. “It seemed to help for a couple of days, and then was obvious that it didn't work.”
The fear crept back into his daughter’s life and she began wetting the bed again.
“I told the lady about it like a week later and she said she would call one of her best friends and they would attempt to close it for us,” McFeeters said. “Apparently they spent two hours on the phone doing this ritual.”
Since that time, although she’s had a couple of accidents, his daughter stopped wetting the bed.
“She has slept in her bed every night since, for like three weeks now,” he said. “She has only wet the bed twice in over three weeks, which is a minor miracle to us.”
The ritual seemed to stop the goblins and stop the girl’s terror, but it didn’t stop the disembodied voices.
Next week: The family discovers the voices are something more than ghosts.
Toys R Us is selling Ouija boards, promoting them as acceptable for children as young as eight years old.
The pink edition of the Ouija board is listed for girls eight-years-old and up while the regular version is designated for all children eight and up. Stephen Phelan, communications manager of Human Life International, checked the website and reports that the findings are disturbing.
"It is just troubling that these things are treated as casually as any other game, like Monopoly or anything else on this Toys R Us site -- and I think it's something Christians should be aware of and really not support," he states.
He further believes that Christians have an obligation to fight against it. "If you go to the comments section on the Toys R Us [web]site, you'll read comments from people who talk about being obsessed with it, talk about missing school for it, talk about the spirits they spoke to on the other side and how creepy it was," Phelan describes.
The communications manager adds that the primary groups that deny the evils of the Ouija board are the ones who deny the spirit world entirely. He goes on to say Christians have a biblical mandate.
"We're supposed to deal with the truth only," he notes. "We're supposed to have nothing to do with dark spirits. We're not supposed to dabble in anything that would compromise our souls, and that's exactly what this does."
Milo Arnold and family opened what we now call the Knickerbocker Hotel in Linesville, Pennsylvania, more than 100 years ago - kicking off a tradition of meeting place, warm refuge, and fine dining.
The three-story sandstone structure today is owned by Myrle and Peg Knickerbocker and has undergone extensive renovation - possibly stirring up the hotel's rich past.
Many of the guests today say the place is haunted.
Tremont Avenue Productions visited the Knickerbocker during two August days in 2009, interviewing the owners and some of the guests who have stayed there.
This is their story - the second in our series of paranormal documentaries presented to you as shorter Webisodes.
Kicking off the series today with three Webisodes, Peg Knickerbocker reads a short piece about her reflections on the hotel. Then she and husband, Meryl, introduce us to some of the stories told here.
Stop back Monday through Friday to see more Webisodes as this series plays out.
My fellow explorers for this adventure include Matthew Beucker, Greg Garland, Philip Haddad, and Michael Rambacher. Special thanks to Myrle and Peg Knickerbocker for welcoming us into their charming hotel and hosting us that Sunday evening and Monday while we pointed cameras and lights and microphones at them and followed them around the hotel.
Ghosts from the hotel's past are trying to tell us a story. We're listening.
Michael Rambacher and Cassidy O'Conner working a recent site.
Paranormal investigators Cassidy O'Conner and Michael Rambacher were called out to Buffalo, NY, January 13, to assist with a possible case of demonic possession being studied by the Western New York Ghost Hunters.
The story now direct from Cassidy:
As cold as it was, my associate Michael and I braved the weather, as well as the windy awful roads to do the work tonight.
As we drew closer to the property, we discussed the case in great detail. Earlier in the week I was contacted by a local paranormal investigative group for help, for they had run into something they had no idea how to deal with. With all their gadgets and gizmos, they came up with the conclusion that they may have a demonic presence in the home being investigated.
The home in question was a lower apartment in a double rented house. A woman named Lisa occupied the downstairs apartment, along with her two dogs and a cat. She is single, and spends a lot of time with her girlfriends in a social bent while on her pursuit for Mr. Right. She was not a very spiritual woman until she moved into the apartment.
Her upstairs neighbor, Joanne, another single woman, was a very spiritually oriented person.
Joanne would come down stairs to see Lisa and talk of her conversations with the other side. Lisa was fascinated, but did her best to stay away from that line of thinking.

Joanne would tell of seeing many spirits in Lisa’s apartment. Lisa dismissed her upstairs neighbor’s tales of presences in her living space, until she stopped sleeping at night, and experienced moving objects.
Lisa lived with the odd circumstances for several months until she was so terrified to be in her apartment due to voices, strange sounds, and her granddaughter seeing a very vivid image of a man roaming throughout her home.
She called in Western New York Ghost Hunters in to do an investigation on the apartment and maybe give her some answers. While conducting the work, one of the investigators was using a tool known as a “Shack Hack” ( a hacked AM/FM radio that skips frequencies and provides for communication).
A very nasty conversation started with an entity that went by the name of Melchom. This entity also responded with answers of “we are the soul takers” and confirmed to the boys that it was in fact a demon.
Now, not being members of faith or ordination, or ever studying demonology, the boys were at a loss on how to proceed. They did not know how to deal with this problem, so they contacted me for advice. I asked them to forward my contact information to the woman, and if she needed my help, she would contact me when she felt comfortable to do so.
Within 24 hours, I got the call.
Lisa explained the situation to me and asked for the help. She simply wanted to sleep, and was getting to the point where she would no longer return to her apartment. So, tonight, Michael and I went in.
When we got to the apartment, we were greeted with hugs and relief.
My associate and I did a few standard checks with a couple pieces of equipment and sat down in the living room to explain to her exactly what was going to be done. During our explanation, her dogs became very uneasy, began to growl and yip from the other room. The woman upstairs began to pace, almost as if she knew what was happening below her. The energy in the room was changing, as it often does in cases involving more negative entities.
Michael started to remove his pieces from his bag, when the statue of Arch Angel Michael was brought out and set on the table I immediately got struck with a dizzy feeling. It did not like us there, and in my opinion was packing its bags when we walked through the door; for the demonic do not seem to appreciate us very much.
He placed the pieces as they were meant and lit the incense in his ancient Mayan Bowl. We began to move to every corner of every room and bless the home. Lisa and her girlfriend gave a hand with the blessing and began to feel better with every room completed. We finished the blessing, and talked for a while. Michael and I shared a few stories and assured her that she no longer had to be afraid anymore. We also gave her advice on how to handle this kind of issue in the future.
The woman explained that she was ready for a full nights sleep, thanked us, and we went on our way.
You know, in doing this work, the most rewarding thing is putting peoples lives back together. Helping others to maintain a normal lifestyle, and take away the chaos placed upon them. Whether it be from their environment, their history, or coming in contact with pure evil. We are here, to do the work, because it is our life's duty, and we are blessed to have the gift, and share it with others.
PLUM ISLAND, N.Y. (WPIX) - An alleged mutated human body washed ashore on Plumb Island, a small island where the U.S. Government typically studies dangerous animal diseases.
A security guard on foot patrol reportedly discovered the clothed decomposing body Thursday afternoon on the southwest beach area of the island, where access is restricted, police said.
The body was described as that of a white male about 6-feet tall with a large build and "very long" fingers. According to authorities, there were no obvious signs of trauma.
An autopsy will be conducted by the Suffolk County medical examiner in order to determine an exact cause of death.
Plum Island, which is located about 100 miles northeast of New York City in the Long Island Sound, has been called a potential target for terrorists because of its stock of vaccines and diseases.
