DÉJÀ-BOO: The Poltergeist of Stagbridge Mall

(Be sure to watch the accompanying episode, " DÉJÀ-BOO: The Poltergeist of Stagbridge Mall " for the full experience.) Preface:      Last month, our team was contacted by a frightened woman who claimed her workplace was being haunted by an angry spirit. What's more, she managed to capture its violent outburst on camera. The video she sent to us was compelling, as far as these types of videos go. There were no obvious hidden accomplices throwing things around or fishing line pulling things over, so we decided to look into it.      While the Stagbridge Shopping Center in Mississippi is what's known as a "dead mall", it's not a famous or well documented haunting. In fact up until recently the most supernatural thing about the building was how it managed to stay open so long. Built in the late 80s, Stagbridge Mall's popularity declined steadily as the idea of the shopping mall fell out of favor over the years. Recently though, those employed at the few r...

DÉJÀ-BOO: The Chimpanzee That Haunts Hollywood

     While the Déjà-Boo crew always tries to make sure our viewers have a good enough idea of a location and/or person's history to understand what exactly we are investigating, our upcoming episode requires a bit more of an in-depth history lesson than we typically provide. Please turn off your cellphones as we begin the show, because today we're going to be taking a look into the world of Hollywood in 1950.      Ronald Reagan was a popular actor from the 1930s, and remained as such until his unfortunate death in 1950. While he was generally well-liked by audiences, he had a somewhat controversial reputation among actors, as he was elected president of SAG (the Screen Actors Guild) in 1947 only to later sell out several of his fellow union members during the Red Scare. Some of the most recognizable productions he featured in include Kings Row , Always Ended This Way , a variety of WWII propaganda films, and of course, the never-released film that tragicall...

I still hear the humming. From the moment we stepped into that horrible factory, it's been growing louder and louder at all hours of the day. I can't sleep, I can't think... I can't escape it because it is coming from within my own head. I can feel its vibrations echoing off my skull, calling me, compelling me to... to do what?  I've been at this ridiculous ghost hunting schtick for so many years and not once have I ever found any true, undeniable evidence of the paranormal. I thought I'd lost all my faith, but no matter which way I look at that picture, at that whole night, I cannot explain what it was. When I close my eyes all I can see is that haunting figure. That man, the ghost of a man who's still alive. How? How did I see him?  Something is wrong, I can feel it as if it's in my very soul. Like an itch, hives that reach deeper than the skin down to my bones. I think I must have angered some force beyond this life and now I must live with the knowle...
