(upbeat video game music)
- [Marianne] It all starts with a dead girl.
- Usually.
(intense upbeat music)
Hi, my name's A.J. Barrera.
I'm a psychic medium and intuitive investigator.
I've been doing this work for nearly two decades,
and I've been healing lives,
but also working with cold cases and missing persons cases
with active, retired law enforcement
and private investigators.
As a psychic medium, I see spirit,
I hear spirit, and I feel spirit.
Meaning that I'm clairvoyant,
clairaudient, and clairsentient.
So if someone passed with a pain in the chest,
of a heart attack, I feel pain in my chest.
I also hear information, as a thought,
when it comes through as well.
(upbeat music)
- Ever since I was little, I've had this dream.
It always felt so real.
The blood on my cheek, the cold sweat running down my skin.
No wonder people used to think I was strange.
- Yeah, me too. (laughs)
- If they only knew.
- Funeral at 12:30, ultrasound, funeral at nine o'clock.
Man, how many funerals does this guy have?
(footsteps)
(cat yowls) (gasping)
(beep) (laughing)
Always a creepy cat in a house, right?
- Come on, Jack. Where'd you put it?
Let's do this the other way.
- There's always another way.
There's something there.
Hmm, Jack's tie clip.
So that there was like a little premonition.
Butterflies.
- [Marianne] I used to have a thing for them.
I guess they just used to make me happy.
- Butterflies are actually a common sign
in the spirit world
where our loved ones will send us messages.
So I wonder if Jack's gonna try to send her a message.
- [Marianne] We lived upstairs from Jack's funeral home.
It wasn't as weird as it sounds.
- Well, you know what?
I think we're looking for her father, right?
Or Jack?
This might be Jack.
(metal door creaking)
- [Marianne] Hey, jack. - Yep.
I don't know how many people
would actually pull a person out,
especially on your own or by yourself.
Put this tie clip with Jack.
- [Marianne] There.
I guess you're ready.
- Bring Jack back in the refrigerator,
saying goodbye. (grunting)
Physically at least.
Oh yeah. (laughing)
Of course.
Paranormal right there, some spirit activity.
(groaning) Premonition right here.
(groaning) All right.
All right, Jack's rising back from the dead.
And by the way, they don't normally look this way
when they come back from the dead.
They don't look all creepy and freaked out.
They come back normal.
It's interesting too,
because Jack's mouth is not even moving.
And sometimes how a spirit communicates
is actually through a soul to soul connection,
or telepathy, or through symbols.
Some of us would call the left side a visitation,
where we sense them, we feel their energy,
rather than just a dream state or a lucid state of mind.
- [Marianne] Most people would give anything
to have that opportunity. - Yep.
- [Marianne] It still hurt like hell.
I love you too, daddy.
- So Jack is for sure her father.
- [Marianne] I used to think everyone
saw the world the way I did.
Divided, torn between two realities.
- I agree, two realities.
The physical and the spirit world.
We have to coexist.
(phone ringing) - My name is Thomas.
I need you help.
The Niwa Resort, find me there.
- Hello? (dramatic music)
(beep) - Typically what happens
is that people are either born into it,
they have a natural ability,
or either they develop that ability.
There's a sense that her father
knew there was something that was there,
so either she saw spirit, felt spirit, at a very young age.
She also grew up in mortuary,
so obviously she was very sensitive to that energy,
that she would naturally pick that up.
We're all intuitive.
We're not all mediums,
but we're all intuitive,
because mediumship is something
that has to be developed and worked on.
We have to think mediumship as a muscle, as a brain.
So the more that we work with it,
the stronger and better that it gets.
So we're looking for Thomas.
(dramatic music) (footsteps)
Ah (beep).
(birds chirping) A ball.
Out of nowhere.
Oh, there's footprints,
we're walking through the woods.
I think trying to find a little girl?
Which, who looks for a little girl like this?
You know you're only looking for trouble. (laughing)
You won't typically actually
see those footprints as a vision.
Depends on the clairvoyance
or depending on the medium or the psychic.
So some people may see it as a vision.
They may get it as a thought,
or as a feeling, or as a pull.
(loud static)
She's definitely having a flash, premonition.
So what's happening here with Marianne,
She's actually in between both worlds, as a medium would be,
and she's co-existing with the afterlife
and the reality of what's happening here.
You know, I think most of us live in two worlds,
without really knowing it,
because we're so taught to believe in routine and reality,
and we're not taught to believe in, you know,
the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus,
so our perception changes over the years.
Especially when we get older.
Children, usually around 12, 13 years old,
lose that perception of spirit world,
and energies, and imaginary friends.
(groaning) (loud rumbling)
Oh man.
All right, she's having another premonition.
Sometimes it can be a little scary.
Traumatic for some people.
- What the hell are you Niwa?
- So the aura represents the energy of the place.
Residual energy, bad energy, good energy.
That is something that we pick up,
or see around people, or around certain locations.
And it's a very common thing.
- [Marianne] The handle's missing.
Maybe I could replace it with something?
- All right, so we need something to open this up here.
And then we hear giggles of a little girl.
- [Marianne] Huh? - And that's probably
a ghost or spirit.
All right, phone ringing.
There it is.
All right. (phone ringing)
And there's voices,
so it sounds like a little girl talking.
So sometimes when I do my work, it sounds like whispers.
And this is a great example.
(explosion booming) - I'm here.
- Boom.
- [Man] No, there's definitely something.
Trust me, you made the right call sending me.
- [Marianne] Even the objects here
had auras. - That's what I mean.
So everything has energy that we touch.
A phone, a table, a tree, everything has energy.
So when she picked up this phone,
she felt the aura, the vibration from that.
If you guys ever go antique shopping,
and you guys pick up an old jewelry box or a table,
or you bring home a chair
and all the sudden you have paranormal activity.
Yeah, that's because you brought home that energy.
So I always tell people, bless the energy,
clear the energy, sage, Palo Santo,
because you don't want that energy into your own home.
We're looking for a tool.
There's an arrow there on the ground,
so that might be, literally, a sign from spirit.
How 'bout a car?
The car should have something.
So in a very weird way, and this'll sound crazy,
on the beginning of the video
there was like a moth or butterfly,
and in this video, right by the vehicle,
is actually a drawing of a butterfly.
So I'm trying to interpret my symbolism as a medium.
So let's see what's in this vehicle,
if there's a tool or something we can use here.
Screwdriver, okay.
- [Marianne] Whoa!
(car horn honking) Ow!
That's definitely paranormal right there.
There's that butterfly again.
So we're now opening this up with that screwdriver.
All right, walked up to a gate,
that's chained up here.
And interesting enough, a flashlight is on the floor.
(loud banging) (gasping)
And spirit would mess with electronics quite often.
Or batteries.
They like to drain batteries.
(mic static fizzing)
(bell ringing)
So now the hotel lobby bells going off
and the lights flickering,
which is a common thing that spirits do.
And basically, this is a haunting that's here.
So we're gonna go answer that bell
and see what the spirit wants.
Which in most cases, most people don't wanna do that.
They don't even wanna see a spirit,
but I'm all down for that. (laughing)
So she's gonna touch the bell.
This is a form of psychometry.
(gasping) - Hi there!
- [Marianne] Oh, hi!
(gasping) You startled me.
- I did, didn't I?
(beep)
- Oh shoot. - Okay.
- Looks like the elevator just got stuck.
So we're gonna have an out-of-body experience.
Basically where you have this kind of dream state,
or too you have the will
to kind of like astral travel.
So, we also call that astral projection.
So it's something that you can train yourself to do.
Typically it happens when we're asleep,
or in this kind of altered state of mind
where we feel like that someone's hovering over us,
or someone's leaning over us. or watching over us.
That's kind of your astral body right there with you.
So this is what we're gonna do next.
(warping noise)
All right, so we're gonna look at this.
- [Marianne] There, a fuse box.
Need some energy to spark it up.
- All right, there's like bats or something
and we're using a Spirit Shield.
Moths of spirit worlds are dangerous,
use a Spirit Shield to burn through them.
(moths fluttering)
So, a Spirit Shield would be basically psychic self-defense.
I always tell people protect yourself in the white light,
or protect yourself with mirrors, or brick walls
so you don't allow other energies to come into you.
That's kind of similar, but I don't think
we actually have like a power
that we can throw out there as a shield,
but I think a psychic shield mentally or subconsciously
that we can put around us
when we're out in public or with different people
would totally make sense.
- [Sadness] Oh, I don't think should be here.
- [Marianne] It's okay, Sadness.
Look, there's no one...
Here.
- So the spirit girl just disappeared.
- Sadness? - She finally
found Thomas' office.
And of course, electronics go on,
this is a sign of paranormal stuff.
Because that is normal, that does happen quite often.
- [Monster] Don't look at me!
(groaning) (body crashing)
- It's kind of like the Angel of Death or something, guys.
I have no idea.
(groaning) (tense music)
(upbeat music) - You know,
the game was quite interesting.
You know, there was kind of some things
that kind of made sense for me,
such as the out-of-body experiences,
astral rejection, premonition, psychometry,
just visions, of someone being an empath.
Kind of truly relates to what we do as mediums.
There are some things that don't make sense to me,
that are a little Hollywood,
a little too much that are out there.
My premonitions don't come in as loud and screaming,
and I don't get massive headaches,
and I don't go crazy in these moments,
like the video game itself.
But other than that, I would recommend it.
To be quite honest, I may actually like download it.
