I'm Travis.
I've been having paranormal experiences
since I was seven years old.
You see these dark figures, and they all just kind of gather
around your bed, and you have this sensation
of just people staring at you.
It just terrifies me.
Sometimes it sounds like the bookshelf has crashed.
And we come up here, and it's nothing.
So I remember one night I took him out of the car.
It's OK, Trav.
Here's the deal.
Something's going on.
You need to tell me.
I'm worried.
I'm scared.
Why are you so afraid?
And he could never explain it.
TRAVIS: There's depression.
There's anxiety, panic attacks, things like that.
I felt really isolated.
And because you feel like you're the only person like that,
I didn't know that there were other people.
I didn't know what I was.
So I feel like I let him down because maybe I
didn't pry deep enough.
TRAVIS: I want to learn how to deal with my fear.
We brought you here to downtown Columbus
to take you to the last place that Brian Shaffer was seen.
I'd like for you all to walk around, pick up any impressions
that you might get.
This is one of Brian's notebooks.
One thing I always recommend is touching-- if you so feel,
to touch that building.
Touch.
Pick that vibration up.
Search for that vibration.
See if you can take it serious.
You're looking for a missing person.
OK, I'm going to open it up.
Talk about what you're sensing and feeling
right now amongst yourselves and out loud to us
if you've got things.
There's a female who knows a lot more than she's letting on,
I feel like, not talking for whatever reason.
Can you describe her?
If I had to describe first impressions,
I would go with, like, a dirty blind, sandy blond hair.
Anything you're feeling, Veronica?
VERONICA: I just feel like he was tackled or shoved
or grabbed.
Physical injury, physical assault?
Yeah.
Right.
I feel like somebody was watching him from up there,
not being able to control his physical self.
I get the impression, like, I didn't come in, stay, leave.
I came in.
I walked out, was gone for, I don't know,
5 minutes, 10 minutes, whatever.
I feel like I came back, like, a second time.
OK, you feel like he was here, left, and returned.
TRAVIS: Right.
We're going up to the top of the escalator.
The last time Brian was ever seen,
his image was captured with this surveillance camera.
And the camera shows that he did actually arrive at 1:15 AM,
then leave the bar and come back out here to the top
of the escalators at 1:55 AM.
And then he returned back to the bar.
So Travis, you were absolutely right.
He came, he left, and then he went back into the bar again.
But after that, he was never seen again.
He just disappeared.
Each of us picked up some information
at an intuitive level.
Travis picked up that there is a blonde female who
knows more than she is telling.
We felt that there was some sort of conflict with friends.
There was definitely somebody watching him from the balcony.
I just know it.
There was a look on his face of jealousy
and bad intent towards your son.
And from the balcony, I felt like he was shoved and injured.
There was an intent to harm and that within the events that
took place over that evening, combined with the jealousy,
combined with the anger, it escalated from that point.
It wasn't supposed to be as bad as it happened.
Got to tell you that--
and this is probably the most difficult thing
that I can say--
we are not of a consensus on whether Brian
is still with us or in spirit.
