00:00:00,200 –> 00:00:03,400
Welcome to Paranormal Night.
Shift your home for all things

2
00:00:03,400 –> 00:00:06,520
that go bump in the dark and
your fan story is told here.

3
00:00:06,760 –> 00:00:10,920
Today’s story comes in from
Tanya and is called 100 Years

4
00:00:10,920 –> 00:00:14,120
for Justice.
There’s always a story behind a

5
00:00:14,120 –> 00:00:17,600
missing persons case.
People don’t just go missing.

6
00:00:18,240 –> 00:00:22,390
Nowadays, with social media and
everything like that, it’s

7
00:00:22,390 –> 00:00:26,910
probably easier to find someone.
But in the early 1920s, before

8
00:00:26,910 –> 00:00:30,910
modern technology, the idea that
somebody could just run off,

9
00:00:31,030 –> 00:00:34,910
disappear and start over again,
well, it wasn’t unheard of,

10
00:00:35,390 –> 00:00:37,670
especially in very rural farm
towns.

11
00:00:37,670 –> 00:00:41,390
In fact, you hear tons of
stories of people just starting

12
00:00:41,390 –> 00:00:43,350
over.
Eli Livingston.

13
00:00:43,990 –> 00:00:46,750
That was the name that was on
the House that we had just moved

14
00:00:46,750 –> 00:00:49,750
into.
The Livingston estate, as it was

15
00:00:49,750 –> 00:00:53,110
called, the home that was built
in the early 1920s.

16
00:00:53,110 –> 00:00:57,790
Huge wraparound porch stone
columns that led outside the

17
00:00:57,990 –> 00:01:01,350
house looked like it was from
Gone with Bend and I guess had

18
00:01:01,350 –> 00:01:06,870
been in the town forever.
Eli Livingston was the mayor of

19
00:01:06,870 –> 00:01:10,190
this town, kind of the
unofficial founder.

20
00:01:10,190 –> 00:01:12,510
If it was.
Not much was known about him

21
00:01:12,510 –> 00:01:16,030
other than he moved to the town,
started a couple companies and

22
00:01:16,030 –> 00:01:18,380
factories, and we built this
beautiful house.

23
00:01:18,500 –> 00:01:21,700
When we moved in, the paranormal
activity started almost

24
00:01:22,060 –> 00:01:24,820
automatically.
My daughter, who was six at the

25
00:01:24,820 –> 00:01:28,740
time, started having very vivid
dreams and would sleepwalk,

26
00:01:29,220 –> 00:01:32,660
always down to the basement, but
in the morning she never

27
00:01:32,660 –> 00:01:35,420
remembered any of them.
We would wake her and bring her

28
00:01:35,420 –> 00:01:38,700
back to her room and she would
always tell us about the little

29
00:01:38,700 –> 00:01:40,660
girl.
There’s a little girl here,

30
00:01:40,660 –> 00:01:42,500
Mommy.
She wants to play with me.

31
00:01:43,260 –> 00:01:47,370
And I tried to pull up history
on the House, but nothing other

32
00:01:47,370 –> 00:01:49,610
than that Eli Livingston had
lived here.

33
00:01:49,690 –> 00:01:51,770
He had built the house with his
bare hands.

34
00:01:52,530 –> 00:01:54,130
He had moved here, built the
house.

35
00:01:54,130 –> 00:01:57,930
Nothing about any sort of
paranormal past.

36
00:01:58,610 –> 00:02:01,650
Everything that we got was just
that he lived here.

37
00:02:01,690 –> 00:02:03,770
Then the house sit vacant after
he passed away.

38
00:02:03,770 –> 00:02:07,770
And we were the second owners.
But for months, my daughter

39
00:02:07,770 –> 00:02:10,490
would have these very vivid
dreams.

40
00:02:10,930 –> 00:02:13,570
She would wake up and tell us
all about the little girl.

41
00:02:13,890 –> 00:02:16,730
She’s a little girl here, mommy,
and she wants to play with us.

42
00:02:17,080 –> 00:02:19,200
We have to find her.
She’s hiding.

43
00:02:19,920 –> 00:02:23,360
My husband was far more into the
paranormal beliefs than I was.

44
00:02:23,360 –> 00:02:25,600
Something was trying to
communicate with our daughter.

45
00:02:26,200 –> 00:02:30,000
He followed her one night to the
basement and she began to to

46
00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:32,960
dig.
She began to dig down into the

47
00:02:32,960 –> 00:02:35,960
basement.
My husband stood by and watched.

48
00:02:36,640 –> 00:02:38,760
We were going to find whatever
she was looking for.

49
00:02:38,760 –> 00:02:40,320
What?
What was it?

50
00:02:41,240 –> 00:02:44,680
But we found nothing.
It was a root seller down in the

51
00:02:44,680 –> 00:02:46,320
basement.
That’s all it was.

52
00:02:46,320 –> 00:02:47,840
There was nothing else to be
found.

53
00:02:48,600 –> 00:02:52,600
But again, the paranormal
activity continued sightings of

54
00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:56,600
the little girl.
Full body apparitions of this

55
00:02:57,440 –> 00:03:00,640
girl walking around our house
asking for help.

56
00:03:01,120 –> 00:03:03,520
We contacted a medium and
spiritualist.

57
00:03:03,800 –> 00:03:06,680
We did everything that we could
to try to communicate with her.

58
00:03:07,320 –> 00:03:11,120
During the seance, the words dig
continued to come out.

59
00:03:11,400 –> 00:03:13,800
Dig, dig.
We’ve already dug.

60
00:03:14,370 –> 00:03:17,130
There’s a root cellar.
Where else do we need to go?

61
00:03:17,130 –> 00:03:20,410
Where do you need us to look?
Dig.

62
00:03:21,490 –> 00:03:24,930
We dug again down at the root
cellar until we hit something,

63
00:03:24,930 –> 00:03:30,090
this time a crate.
A crate with human remains and

64
00:03:30,090 –> 00:03:33,130
news articles about Jacob
Higgins.

65
00:03:33,610 –> 00:03:38,250
Jacob Higgins had murdered his
wife and had escaped Colorado

66
00:03:38,250 –> 00:03:42,490
with his daughter.
The picture, the sketch and the

67
00:03:42,490 –> 00:03:47,150
news article look just like Eli
Livingston.

68
00:03:47,910 –> 00:03:51,350
We can only assume that it was
the same person after all these

69
00:03:51,350 –> 00:03:53,390
years.
She was not going to let her

70
00:03:53,390 –> 00:03:55,830
father get away with what he had
done.

71
00:03:56,470 –> 00:03:59,670
Now that was a fan story that
was sent to me about town urban

72
00:03:59,670 –> 00:04:02,270
legends.
So please tell me what is your

73
00:04:02,270 –> 00:04:05,990
town’s urban legend?
Also don’t forget Paranormal

74
00:04:05,990 –> 00:04:09,270
Night Shift will be in Savannah
in October.

75
00:04:09,510 –> 00:04:13,350
So please, if you have any
Savannah stories, send them in

76
00:04:13,690 –> 00:04:16,810
and you might make it on the
next episode of Paranormal Night

77
00:04:16,810 –> 00:04:17,170
Shift.
