The Bizarre Voodoo World Of New Orleans

difficult time tonight. Poor guy. -Any reason why you think you feel happier? - Because now I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because if there's something here, it feels like it's scared too, maybe. I think I'm a little boy. - And have you ever been a scared child? - Yes all the time. - I once took an improv comedy class because I'm a white guy and they told me to get out of your head. Although I can't, it's a prison. - Do you know what the origin of that fear was, when it started? - No. I always felt like something was watching me in the dark when I was little. (sighs) - I always have to think about things, you know?

Like this mannequin in this bathtub. What are you doing here? Yeah, I'm not going to notice, let's see what Ryan is doing. - Well, there's probably a source that triggered it when you were a child. If you find that source, you may dissolve some of your fears. - I'm coming back. Oh, I didn't mean to interrupt. - He's channeling. And you're right, there is a little boy here. Little boy, I call him Abe, he had asked for stones, 10 stones, actually he asked for jacks. Now I'll leave you alone for a while, I'll go eat something. I'll just close the front door. (Shane laughs) The wanderer

is in your hands until I return. - Alright.

Well. While Shane and I went to change the batteries, our audio recorder continued to roll inside the boy's closet and picked up some peculiar noises. What would happen if he spoke when we were gone? Oh my god, he gave me chills thinking about that, he's fucking crazy. Do you hear the whispers there? - Not well. There, right there! Did you find out that? - Wood or whatever? - The closet, yes. - So the conclusion here is that every little sound is a ghost? - No, the conclusion here is that sounds that do not belong to that environment may or may not be ghosts. - Well.

I will side with may not. Is there anyone else here? I'm going to turn off the light. My jacket was just moving in such a way that it felt like someone had touched my shoulder and if I think, if I think you felt it, you would scream. (slow motion) Is anyone else here? Turning off the light now. - Wait, did you really just comment on something that could have been paranormal? - No, I said it was the way my jacket moved, it's like, have you ever worn a jean jacket? These things are... - There it is. - Yes. - I was just waiting for the logical explanation. - There you go. - Although this second floor apartment is ostensibly the home of a little boy, it was actually the actual home of two other people and, in 2006, this apartment would be the home of perhaps the most gruesome murder in the history of New Orleans , earning it the name Rampart Street Murder House.

This is the room where there was writing all over the wall. By Zach. He painted on the wall. -Oh, did he do it? Can you see any of that yet? - I do not think. On October 5, 2006, Zachery Bowen brutally murdered and dismembered his girlfriend and roommate, Addie Hall. He jumped to her death from the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel approximately 11 days later. The police found his suicide note on his body which said, quote: "This is not accidental. "I had to take my own life to pay for the one I took." "If you send a patrol car to 826 North Rampart, I will find the dismembered corpse." from my girlfriend, Addie, in the oven, "on the stove and in the refrigerator," and a full confession signed by me.

End of quote. There is some thickness to this room. Alright, I'm going to put, oh my gosh, I'm going to put the EVP on the stove, which unfortunately is the same stove and oven that, you know, and it's also the same refrigerator. Despite speculation, these deaths had nothing to do with the

voodoo

. Anyway, as a result of this horrible crime, the kitchen that still stands is perhaps the darkest part of this house. Shit, are you closing that door? Oh, how about that? Let's do it. Seems like a good idea, let's lock ourselves in the murder room.

We'll turn off the lights and I'll go out. - Hope for? That was never part of the deal. - Ryan, you have to face your fears. - I think you just want to see me go crazy. That is what I think. - No, that's not true. - Don't try to frame it as if you're trying to help me, idiot, I know exactly what you're doing. - How about I go first? - Okay, okay, let's do two minutes. - Well. - Here we go. - If there is anyone here, don't hesitate to contact me. - I'm going to die in there. - If perhaps there is a restless spirit of the victim. - Oh boy. - (in the distance) Can you tell me your name? - This room isn't as bad as that one, even though there were, you know, painted manifestos of a madman (in the distance) all over the walls in this place. - I often do this because I know how much Ryan will hate it. - I think the creepiest detail about that case... (creepy music) What the fuck was that?

Oh shit. What the fuck was that? -Looks like Ryan is out right now, he's having a harder time out there. - Oh. - Nothing yet. And now I'm about 10 seconds away from Ryan walking into the room and his mind is going to eat itself and it's going to be wonderful. Okay, it's two minutes. - Oh, fuck. - I, uh, I don't really want to talk about what happened there. So why don't you come in? - Shut up, Shane. (mockingly) Ooh, I don't want to talk about what happened there. - Make sure you turn off the light. - Fuck me. - I'll close it for you. - Well.

Oh Lord. Okay, 34. Two minutes, Ryan, come on, you can do this. I'm very sorry for what happened to you here. For both of us, I think maybe they were going to interrupt my, oh, I'm not going to talk to anyone, you know what? I mean, what am I doing here? - It's interesting that you're talking to them. He always forgets it. - Oh, God, it's okay. Is there anyone here right now? If there's anyone here right now, show me a sign. I'll be out of here forever in a second. I'll do it gladly. - Almost halfway. - (sighs) It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, Ryan, it's okay.

One minute and you'll be out of here, you'll be, oh, fine on your own. I feel like I'm going to cry. This is your last chance. (creepy music) What the fuck? Was he one of you? - No. - Did you just...? Just tug on my shirt? - No, we are not in the room with you. - I'm not talking to you! Oh shit. Ahhh. That was a good trick. - Well. - Did you knock on the door? - No. - Something is crawling in the attic. Leave! Too late, you missed your chance. (scary music) What the fuck, Shane, open the door! (laughs) Ah!

Typical. - We had fun. - That's hilarious. - Good, excellent. Was there anything creepy? - Uh, something, I think, tugged at my shirt. I don't want to talk about it, I want to leave. I think Bloody Mary will come to meet us and maybe she will close the door. - Well. - But I really don't know. - You don't want to, you just don't want to be up here anymore. - I don't want to be in this room anymore. - Well. - Please. Let's go. (screams) (laughter) Jesus Christ. God. - That was a good shout. - Should we be on this side? - It doesn't matter. - Well.

Well. -We thank all the spirits involved with the directions and the spirits of the house, those we know, those we don't know, we thank them for letting us glimpse his life and as Baz opens the doors, now we ask. To close the way, ashe! (claps) Iepopo. - Very well, then, what did you think? - That was quite fascinating. - I must tell you that I am really paralyzed with this world. - I know, it seems like we have to meet in the middle, which we didn't do tonight. But maybe in the future. - No. - I don't know, Ryan. - I do not think. - I think we'll get there. - I doubt it. - But you have to learn not to be so afraid. - I think you need to learn to start seeing things as they are. - I think you need to learn to shut up. - I think you need to learn to shut the fuck up.

I escalated it with the biggest bad word there. - Yeah, that was... - We're losing track here. - Yes. - In the end, voodoo is still a respected practice in New Orleans. I can say that after experiencing it firsthand, I now understand that it is not the negative force it appears to be. Rather, it can be used negatively when in the hands of the wrong person. Understanding that faith is required, and whether or not voodoo can definitely be used to contact the spirit world, will remain unresolved. (creepy music) - I'm not even trying to be a jerk about this, I'm just getting tired of you asking me if I'm scared of things I don't believe in. - Well, one day I think you will finally become wiser. - That's like asking me if, it doesn't matter. - No way, the thought ends.

Get it done! - I was going to say (laughs) it's like asking me if I'm worried that when I fall asleep, the moon turns around and winks at me with a big, evil face and has a boner or something and I'm like, well, of course not. , because that's not real. - So the moon wears pants to cover his erection at all times? - I don't know, I had never thought about that. - Why have I never seen the moon's erection? - Because you just have to believe in it, Ryan. - This is the dumbest example you've ever given.

That's sillier than Die Hard. - I think the moon having an erection is as realistic as ghosts. - (laughs) No, it's not! - Yes. The dark side of the moon has a giant-- - Everyone in the comments, tell me what's most likely. - No. - That the moon has an erection or that a ghost is real. - The dark side of the moon - No, no. - he just has a giant, dusty boner. (laughs) - Dusty boner! - That's as real as ghosts. - Alright, that's the end of BuzzFeed Unsolved Supernatural. - Forever. - No, no, just for this season. - Good, excellent. - Thank you for your time. - Thank you. - We really appreciate all your support and we'll be back, though for a BuzzFeed Unsolved True Crime, right?

Jesus Christ, this is terrible. (Both laugh) We'll be back soon, in fact, very soon. - Oh, before you lose weight. - Much sooner than necessary for BuzzFeed Unsolved True Crime. It will be ten episodes, so hopefully, you'll join us for that too. - It's going to be super depressing and bloody and gory, oh it's going to be sick! - Alright. Ryan out? I don't know. -Shane out? Is that what we're doing now? - I don't think that... - I don't think that's what we're doing. - See you later guys, see you soon. - Bye bye! (Ryan laughs) (creepy music)
