It is Monday December 7th 2024 there is a light snow flurry hitting Western Pennslyvania we see we see an blue van driving through the light snow heading North along route forty three inside the van are seven people the driver is an African American man his nam is Dr. Terrell Johnson he is fresh out of Pittsburgh College his major is in parapsychology, he along with a few of his classmates and two formwer Police officers all of them graduated at Pittsburgh some of them even have a law degree like Sherry Morrison who is sitting in the passenger sit, she has bark curly hair brown eyes tan brown skin, the rest consist of Hatcher BaCall a young man who has a law degree and is an expert onm fake ghost sightings Hatcher has blonde hair and brown eyes he has a full beard, we also see former State Trooper Candence Mitchell with her short red hair and blue eyes, former Detective Nathon White who has blonde hair brown eyes and the tech support Kyle Marston who has brown skin sort dark hair and dark sideburns and Terra Lake who had shoulder lenth raven black hair and brown eyes. Terra Lake: Hey Doc is there anything you want me to record on our trip to Brownsville. Dr. Terrell Johnson: Go ahead and use the hand held camcorder that way we can document how we all fill and what if anything we might find. Dr. Terrell Jhonson: Well for the record I don't we'll ever find any sort of ghost of paranormal activity I know I was more brought in by because that didn't want Sherry name at the center of this. which makes me think that Sneator Victor Shula knows more then what he's willing to reveal, I do believe your theory that he,s related to the Shula who released one Major Orson Lewton from prison on April 18th 1865. Candence Mitchell: Wait are you talking about former West Virginia Senator Kent Shula hey was Senator of that state from 1865 to 1868 he was excuted by a snipers bullet. Sherry Mporrison: Yep that's the one. Natho White: So what give what do the Shula family have against you? Sherry Morrison: My grandfather was slave during the civil war he was owned by a Major Orson Lewton of the confedrate army I have documents that prove of Major lewtons release but no reason was giving why on those documents. Senotor Shula's family is orgnially from Brownsville Pa and the family home has been abandon for a long time I think the proof of why Major Orson Lewton was let out of Prison is somewhere in the old run down Shula family manson which was built in 1795 Brownsville was founded in 1785. Hatcher BaCall: Don't forget that alot of People started going missing right after the civil war had ended Brownsville more known for it high crime rate and its own share of missing people Murder rate is 59 percent and Missing rate is 74 percent most of those missing are either criminals or law breakers but the numbers don't lower despite the crimnals going missing. Dr. Terrell Johnson: Well keep in mind there were some prison breaks and most of them were never found, police are still searching for those five escape prisnors. Kyle Marston: The case were being ask to look at is well over ten years old it involves two missing elementary school students a Janet Freeman and Whitney Freeman Related to former Brownsville Sheriff Casey Freeman. who has been putting alot of public pressure on the local police department which is why state trooper Wade Fields contacted the Universaty. Dr Terrell Johnson: Brownsville built around the Monongahela River Brownsville is a borough in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States, first settled in 1785 as the site of a trading post a few years after the defeat of the Iroquois enabled a resumption of westward migration after the Revolutionary War. The trading post soon became a tavern and inn and was receiving emigrants heading west, as it was located above the cut bank overlooking the first ford that could be reached to those descending from the Allegheny Mountains According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough of Brownsville has a total area of 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2), of which 0.97 square miles (2.5 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2), or 10.47%, is water[3]—most of which is the Fayette County half of the Monongahela River between the community and the flatter lands of West Brownsville on the opposite shore in Washington County the Shula Family where one of the first of three family's who settled here. it was Clarks Shula's and Gates. The only family left out of the three is Shula. Sherry Morison: So is the former Sheriff the one meeting us? Dr. Terrell Johnson Yes, It's 10:45 now it's only takes eighteen minutes to get to brownvill we should be there a little after eleven this morning. a little after Eleven: at 200 2nd St we see an African American man standing on the sidewalk right in front of the Brownsville State Police Department building as he watches the snow beginning to come down harder and just then a blue van park along 2nd Street just a little past the Police Station Dr. Terrell Johnson puts the van in park and shuts off the engine he removes the keys from the ignition. Dr. Terrell if you don't have a recoding device make sure to havr a pencil and notebook with you as to write statemnts down. Though everyone did bring a small tape recorder three people are also using Pencil and paper. Sherry Morrison, Candence Mitchell and Detective turned Private investigator Nathon White. the dorrs to the van come open everyone gets out Tarra and Kyle are the one opperating the main Camera's De. Terrell Johmson: Casey it's finally nice to met you in person. Casey Freeman: It's nice to met asll of you the Sheriff wants to see you Dr. Johnson. Terrell Johnson: Alright lets go, the rest of you wait out here get som shots and recording of our arrival and no Bullshit! meaning nothing fake, if you can't back your what you say make sure you add the words in my opinion! Sherry Morrison: Alright I want to start with a debate between Hatcher, Candence and Nathon why do they think the Abductions are happening at night and why are all the criminals found suicides? Lets shot in the parking lot of the police station, the group walks a short distance once they get to the police station parking lot they begin filming Kyle begins filming the three of them as Sherry conducts the Debate. Sherry Morrison: Hello my name is Sherry Morrison and we are here in Brownsvill Pa conducting several investigation into suicides and missing people, with me here is former State Police officer Candence Mitchell who was a State Police officer for ten years in fayette County, also here is Former Pittsburgh Detective turned Private investigator Nathon White and lawyer Hatcher Bacall, Candence what are your thoughts on these cases being connected? Cadence Mitchell: I think the suicides are all connected, even the ones that happen during the day even though there were only six what I can't figure out is how iT was done without anyone seeing them? Perhaps some sort of hypnosis. Candence Mitchell: The problem with the hynosis theory is that Hynosis is a relaxed state and then your controlled does anyone remember what Jeffery Keys said he was the man who witnessed Gary Walters standing on the train tracks, he said he could he could only make out Jeffery's face because of the train lights, that Jeffery's eyes look like a zombies eyes, I know Garys isn't a great witness but a homeless man is better then no witness at hall. Nathon: White This question is for everyone, Hatcher, Candence and even you Sherry what it were mind control and not hyonosis, I'm talking pure telepathy, it would make the most sense remember some of the ones during the day were seeing walking hell even driving. Hatcher Bacall: Would you have to be in the same room as someone to do that? Nathon White: Not always study have shown that if a persons mind is strong enough that can focus it and begin to communicate with the person there wanting to kill, now the question is if this person as that ablity why wait until dark and for the fog to roll in to abduct someone? Candence Mitchell: What if they like scaring people making the person or persons they were about to take feel fear, tell Nathon have you ever read The Shadow? Nathon: White: Yes and Batman I don't totally disagree with you here, because if wwe had in the mind control and add in the fact that we know the crinals going missing get taking at night and in the fog it would create great terror, se someone is telling you not to. Candence Mitchell: I can Imagine it, god it would be pure hell. Hatcher Bacall: But what about the four innocent people who have gone missing? they weren't criminals. Sherry Morrison: Alright cut! Sherry Morrison: That gives us something to come back to Hatcher great job all of you! Meanwhile in the Police station inside the the office of Sheriff Marge Albright wee see Dr. Terrell Johnson and Casey Fremmen standing infront of her desk, Maggie is orginally from London she hads short dark hair her eyes are rown she is wearing brown pants and a black longsleeve t-shirt around her waist is a gun belt in the holster is a Beretta 9mm. Sheriff Albright: I'm a very busy woman Dr. Johnson and Mr. Freeman I don't half to tell you how busy this office gets, that being said here are the fils on you're daughters Casey, I know it isn't much but its the best I can do. Casey Freeman: Why not asign these folks an officer surely you can spare one? Maggie Albright: I can't you know I've been told not to give you any police department support, I'm sorry Casey. Casey Freeman: It's alright I Understand come on Doctor. Now Outside we see Candence Mitchell along with Private Investigator Nathon White and Hatcher Bacall looking up at the Lorte forty Bridge also known as the Brownsville Bridge We see Kyle Marston filming them now as Tarra films ontop of the the Bridge. ASherry Morrison: Alright you three Hatcher you lead with you opening and will go around again and action. Hatcher Bacall: You know when I started investigation the Parnormal I found that alot of it was just rusted old pipes causing the moaning and groaning of buildings but this is not ghost story I don't have any reel proof of what I'm about top ask but I ask that you bothHumor me, what do yuou know about Vampires? Candence Mitchell: Beyond the legend and the books I've read just that. Private Investigator Nathon White: I Humor you on this one, if anyone it would make the must sense. Everyone standing benath the Bridge stare at Nathon. Nathon White: Don't look to shocked lets look at what Hatcher saying there's been a fog every night in this twon for the past two years hell a vampire could be the fog, no one as seen anyone he or she could also be invisable the night time is easy to explan most of its done at night when the vampire is strongest. Hatcher Bacall: Again this is Just all an opining theres no proof to back it. Nathon White: You ,eam theres been no bides found, but there plenty to suggest a vampire maybe at work here, tell me Hatcher whats your take on the legend its self? Hatcher Bacall: Well I'm sure we've all read the sam books and watched the same movies. I personally I think the vampire if one would exsist would od everything not to show itself I do think sunlight kills it but maybe theres times it does really need to rest during the day maybe's when it uses its powers her drains not Just physically but mentally and when night does come that's when it feeds, again this is all opinion. Hatcher ssmiles as does Candence and Nathon. Hatcher Bacall: Here comes Dr. Johnson , along with Casey and a state police officer I think its best to drop the vampire conversation. Nathon White: Sherry we'd like to talk to you later about this. Sherry Morrison: Cut! Alright we'll talk later. Dr. Terrell Johnson:Well where to now? Sherry Morrison: To the end of Water Street where Rachel Downs killed Percy Garnett. Candence Mitchell: Let me guess no Brownsville Police can't get involved. Dr. Terrell Johnson: You Guessed it. Casey Freeman: Fucking Vince Shula what an asshole. Sherry Morrison: Even though they don't really come here anymore the Shula family seem to have alot of power. Kyle Marston: I hate to say this but I voted for that bastard! Dr. Terrell Johnson: Don't worry we'll forgive you for voting for a left wing leaning parasight. With the everyone now standing on Water Street Just outside the south Brownsville Fire department. Candence Micthell: Were looking for a Kevin Larson. we see the fire department door are open you can see two fire trucks parket one to the right and one to the left. We see a man who looks to be in his mid twenties who has fire engine red hair and three day beard the young man as a bit of an Irish accent. Kevin Larson: You fella's looking for me?

Kevin Larson: Four years now, I know what you want to hear about so I'll tekk you I was standing out here cleaning the trucks of one morning and every morning the Hooker and her pimp would stand on that corner over there She was a cat calling to me, Well I told her I never sleep with whores, her pimp told me if I ever call her that again he'd slit my throat. So I looked over and then I saw it that womans eyes they seemed so strange like there was no life left in them almost as if she weren't the person she just was, she pulled out her switch blade and stabbed him her own pimp right in the throat she the took it across his neck causing more blood to come out, I ran toward the back to dial 9-1-1 but by time I come out she was dead two she cut her own throat god the blood thats all I keep seeing everytime I look over everytome i close my eyes. Sherry Morrison: I'm sorry to make you relive that. Kevin Larson: Its alright, I know there's been alot of shit happening for the past two years but never did I think i'd see anything like that.

Dr. Terrell Johnson: for now. Casey Freeman: You can lay it on me at anytime Dr. Johnson you goning to tell me my girls have been murdered or maybe there a murder suicide. Dr. Terrell: I don't know whats become of your girls Casey I will say that I don't expect to ever find even if we due I don't expect them to be alive. Casey Freeman: Neither do I! The team stop right along the Train Tracks behind Brownsville Pharmacy ehich is located at 27 Market Street. Candence Mitchell: Well it wouldn't have been hard too walk onto the train tracks, though the man stood there for a good Hour before the train arrived, Train will be won't roll in here untill about 9:00pm It's going on 2:00pm now. Dr. Terrell Johnson: Alright lets film the back lot of the store and the Tracks themselves, Kyle and Terra film the back parking lot of the Phamracy then they shot the Train tracks. Hatcher Bacall: the train never stopped kept on going. Casey Freeman: Its because the Train Stations been closed since 1989 it has no reason to stop in Brownsville anymore, Folks can drive to Conellsvile to catch the train, what a wreck this town became Drugs, rapes, Murders and now the past two years and whats been going on. Kyle and Terra film as Sherry Interviews Candence, the interviews ends with Candence saying Criminals have buying more guns only to find themselves using them on themselves. The crew spend the rest of the day filming the town of Brownsville interviewing people even those with criminal records and repeat offenders, they all swear death will come to the one doing this but no one has a clue of what or whgo causing this finally has the The Sun begins to begin to get low the group heads to dinner at Pickers Pub & Grill which is located at 101 High Street, most of the group sit together at a Booth while Nathon White and Sherry Morrison sit across from one another at a Table. Sherry Morrison: Well Nathon would you believe me if I told you this is my first date? Nathon smiles. Nathon White Yes! so tell me what do you think of Hatcher's vampire theory? Sherry Morrison: I don't know what to think, you shocked me today humoring him the way you did. Nathon White: I did it because of you. Sherry Morrison: Why me. Private Investigator Nathon White: You've been Investigating that Major Orson Lewton fella, tell me why did he go to prison? Sherry Morrison: He was the one who gave John Wilks Booth the idea to Kill President Licoln, it was his plan all along, you see Orson had a very unique skill he could track anyone or anything almost like a blood hound, hell he was better then a blood hound. Nathon White: I think your Major Orson Lewton is this Vampire! Major Orson Lewton; Now we see a man covering a hole he had dug the hole was a good six feet deep the man had poured salt on the two lifeless bodies before covering them with dirt, the man is wearing Born steel toe boots a pair of Army cameo pants and a longsleee army cameo shirt, the man face is clean shaved he has two green eyes and Shoulder length red hair, the man is Major Orson Lewton after feeling the hole Orson sets the shovel he is holding up against a large Oak tree, the woods he is in is full of oak trees large oak trees, Orson gets down on his knees he makes the sign of the cross and puts his hands together in prayer formation. Major Orson Lewton: Oh Lord, Please forgive me I am so sorry god those girls she gilled, the people she's murder, tears begin to come down Orsonss face, I must get her away from Brownsville maybe a smaller community or an adandon farm land, People are beginning to ask to many question about the fog, the night and these two girls, it feels like she did it to laugh at me, for that';s how we met two young girls went missing one Spring Night. Now back at Pickers Pub & Grill. we see Sherry and Nathon contiunue there conversation. Sherry Morrison: I know you and Hatcher want top believe this vampire business, but I don't and even if I did, The stories I heard from family member were that Orson would always work in the field with his slaves, no whips were ever used we were allowed to stay in his house in every one of us were them were treated like family, its far different that what history writes about. Nathon White: Do you know when Major Lewton was arrested? Sherry Morrison: April 18th 1865. But I'm certain he was released from there, there is no record of his death. Nathon White: Yes! that much I'm aware of, even the Camp Chase record concerning him are thin, but after that its like he was a ghost. Sherry Morrison: Shula had alot of friends in high places. Nathon White: True! Sherry Morrison: You know we never did western Brownsville or Shula Mansion. Nathon White: We'll do the Mansion next, it will be fun searching an adandon Mansion at night. Dweller of Night: We see our invetigative group walking from Pickers Bar & Grill walking Mprth headed toward Shula Caslte, there not the only ones heading that direction we see Major Orson Lewton in a row boat paddleing across the Monogahela river heading toward SHula Mansion the sun becomes lowere and lower and as the sun set and Darkness comes we see Major Lewton tieing the row boat to the shore he accends the staris that lead toward the lower half of Shula Mansion once he gets to the top of the staircase he looks to see light he notices the lights are are bright for there are coming closer to the old Mansion. Major Orson Lewton: Oh Jesus Christ People! Major Lewton thinks quickly and walks toward the movie hoping to met them right at then gated entrance of the mansion. Dr. Terrell Johnson: Is that someone walking toward us. Major Orson Lewton gets to the gate slides it across with ease, he then takes the only key from his pocket and lock it. Dr. Terrell Johnson and others just get to the gate entrance as Orson locks it. Dr. Terrell Johnson: Hey! What gives? Major Orson Lewton: Sorry folks no tours of the old Mansion after sundown. Orson says this as Darkness comes meanwhile deep underneath The Old Shula Mansion we see a woman with Shoulder length Blonde hair her eyes come open to reveal two blue eyes she reaches out with her left hand, her hand now toruches a solid wall or so it seems solid she gives the wall a slight push and with that push the wall begins to move forward it then slides to the left reavealing a another room that is well furnished, a long oark coffee table a fire place that is lit with wood burning, the woman steps out into the room and the secret door slide shut behind her, this woman is wearing a black off the shoulder black dress the woman is Devilla Vasiliou. Devilla invades her servents Mind she can now hear and see people he';s having a conversation with. Dwevilla Vasillou: Orson invite them in we'll have them for Dinner tonight, make sure you place them at the dinner table I'll be waiting there with some whine and glasses. it looks like our investigative teams Night is Just beginning, come back next time to find out what happens.
