4 quotes Steve Freeling Steve Freeling We keep the room locked off from the rest of the house. Robbie's sleeping with us now -- Dana, she spends a lot of time with friends.
Steve Freeling So. What side of the rainbow are we working tonight, Dr. Lesh? Is this your Knott's Berry Farm solution?
Steve Freeling No one's going in the kitchen 'til I know what's happening.
Scenes with Steve Freeling
11 scenes Steve Somethin's funny goin' on here next door. Somethin', uh --
We were wondering if maybe you had experienced any disturbances lately? ... Oh you know, like dishes or furniture moving around by themselves.
Steve Tomorrow I'm going to call someone --
Oh yeah? Who, for instance? I already looked in the Yellow Pages. "Furniture Movers" we got; "Strange Phenomenon", there's no listing.
Mr. Teague One of your children was born in your house, huh?
Steve Carol Anne.
Mr. Teague I understand that she's missed a lot of school...I didn't see her.
Steve She's around.
Mr. Teague Listen, I wonder if you'd mind if I asked you a question? Are you thinking about leaving Cuesta Verde?...How's that spot for a bay window, huh?
Steve Yeah, well, it's pretty nice if you're living up here, but uh, not so great down there in the valley havin' to look at a bunch of homes cutting into the hillside.
Mr. Teague But you don't have to live in the valley anymore.
Steve What are you saying?
Mr. Teague We're starting Phase Five right here where we're standing. All of this can be your master bedroom suite. That can be your view. Interested?
Steve Oh, Mr. Teague, you know, that's a generous offer. I'm just not a developer.
Mr. Teague You're responsible for 42 percent of sales. That's almost half of everything down there. Almost 70 million dollars worth of dwelling and properties. Now that's a whole generation of security that nobody can put a price-tag on. Now look, I know we should have made you a full partner three years ago. Well, I don't want to lose you now.
Steve Not much room for a pool, is there?
Mr. Teague We own all the land. We've already made arrangements for relocating the cemetery.
Steve Oh you're kidding. Oh come on. That's sacreligious, isn't it?
Mr. Teague Oh, don't worry about it. After all, it's not ancient tribal burial ground. It's just people. Besides, we've done it before.
Steve When?
Mr. Teague In '76, right down there.
Steve Cuesta Verde?
Mr. Teague All three hundred acres. Well, let me tell you, it was quite a deal!
Steve No, no. But I never heard anything about it, though.
Mr. Teague That's not the sort of thing one goes around advertising on a billboard or on the side of a bus. What are you worried about? Friends and relatives can visit their loved ones in Rockston Memorial Park - it's only five minutes further, for Christ's sake.
Steve You know Teague, he won't take "Go to Hell" for an answer.
What are you going to do?
Steve I'm gonna give him directions.
Rob
I don't like the tree, Dad.
Steve That's an old tree, it's been around here a long time. I think it was here before my company built the neighborhood.
Rob
I don't like its arms. [whispering] It knows I live here, doesn't it?
Steve It knows everything about us, Rob, that's why I built the house next to it, so it could protect us: you and Carol Anne, and Dana and your mom and me ... It's a very wise old tree.
Rob
It looks at me. It knows I live here.
Well, I'm off. Now these tapes, I am going to have to present them you know.
Steve Oh please, not on 60 Minutes.
Or That's Incredible.
Would your family welcome a serious investigation of these disturbances by someone who can make first-hand observations?
Steve Dr. Lesh, we really don't care about the disturbances -- the pounding and the flashing, the screaming ... the music. We just want you to find our little girl.
Mr. Freeling, we'll record any psychotronic energy or event.
Yes, Ryan photographed an extraordinary episode on a case in Redlands.
That's right. It was a child's toy, a very small Matchbox vehicle. Rolled seven feet across a linoleum surface. The duration of the event was seven hours.
Steve Seven hours for what?
For the vehicle to complete the distance. Of course, this would never register on the naked eye. But I have it recorded on a time-lapse camera. It's fantastic.
Steve -- mm-hm --
[Opens door to see objects flying around children's room]
How long have you been investigating haunted houses?
Mrs. Freeling, the determination as to whether your home is haunted is not very easy. [A heavy teapot slides across the table in front of her] I -- what I meant to say was, it might very well be a poltergeist intrusion instead of a classic haunting.
[Light flashes twice]
There's going to be two more in a couple of seconds. They always come in pairs.
Dr. Casey.
Steve There's a difference?
It's electrical. You can smell the charge.
Poltergeist are usually associated with an individual. Hauntings seem to be connected with an area, a house usually.
Marty
Poltergeist disturbances are of fairly short duration, perhaps a couple of months. Hauntings can go on for -- years.
Are you telling me that all of this could just suddenly end at any time?
Yes, it could, unless it's a haunting. But hauntings don't usually revolve around living people.
Then we don't have much time, Dr. Lesh, because my daughter is alive somewhere inside this house.
Uhhh ... this is probably going to be seem a little strange. We hear better on this channel, don't ask me why. Well, uh -- I guess I'll call her. Carol Anne? ... it's Mommy, sweetheart. We want to talk to you. Please answer me, baby. Please answer me. Please talk to me, bunny.
Marty
-- look at the dog --
Are you with us now? Can you... can you say hello to daddy?
Hello, Daddy.
Steve Hello, Sweetpea.
It's Mommy, sweetheart.
Hello, Mommy.
Hello, baby. Can you see me? Can you see Mommy?
Mommy? Where are you? Where are you?
We're home, baby. We're home. Can you find me? Can you find a way to us, baby?
Mommy, where are you? I can't find you. I can't. I'm afraid of the Light, mommy. I'm afraid of the Light.
Tell her to stay away from the light.
Maybe it's a way out --
It is -- it is a way out, but not for her. Tell her, quickly.
Stay away from the light. The light is dangerous. Don't go near it. Don't even look at the light.
Mommy, there's somebody here ... Mommy, somebody's coming. Mommy, help me, please! Get away from me. Leave me alone!
She just moved through me. My God, I felt her. I can smell her. It's her...She's all over me... She went through my soul.
