00:07Curious teen comes face to face with a money
00:11There's still
00:12skin
00:14on her face
00:15It is haunted by an evil beast from an ancient world
00:20For years it pursues him without mercy
00:24This thing was coming after me like a creature would stalk prey
00:29Can he escape from its clutches before it claims his soul?
00:35This entity was more powerful than any one person can handle
00:40It was hell on earth
00:45In America, there is real evil it lurks in the darkest shadows and in our most ordinary tones
00:53Between the worlds we see and the things we fear there are doors
01:00When they are opened
01:02nightmares
01:04become reality
01:12On the north shore of Seneca Lake lies a small sleepy town
01:18It's the kind of place where families live in the same house for generations
01:23The
01:25Community that I grew up in it was a smaller community
01:28It was a nice place to grow up as a kid because you could ride your bikes up and down our road without
01:33Fear of traffic and you had open fields for baseball
01:37We lived in my grandmother's house at the time my mom's mom
01:4114 year old Caleb Weaver lives with his parents Chris and Susan
01:47My childhood was
01:49Pretty typical. I mean had its ups and downs, but you know, it's pretty happy for the most part
01:55Caleb's mother wishes to remain anonymous due to her occupation
01:59Caleb had a small group of friends from the time. He was little all the way through high school
02:04He was involved in a lot of activities. He was in swim club and he played trombone in a band
02:10Morning, Dad. Hey, son
02:14Caleb you better get going. Don't you have a field trip today?
02:18Yeah, it sounds boring
02:20Boring or not. Don't be late
02:23He was your typical teenager
02:26Thanks. See you later mom. Have a good day. I think we were the basic well-rounded family
02:33But in the spring of 1997 Caleb's happy life is disrupted
02:39That afternoon Caleb's class visits a local museum showcasing recently acquired Egyptian artifacts dating back to
02:462000 BC
02:50Welcome to the Egyptian gallery. There are many priceless antiquities here. So please be careful. Follow me this way
03:01As soon as we got in there I just felt oddly drawn to the exhibit and these artifacts and
03:09Everything else seemed to just tune itself out
03:16As
03:29I'm looking at everything I felt kind of separated from everyone
03:46Here lies the mortal remains of an ancient Egyptian preserved according to custom in short a mummy
03:53We believe she was a priestess who served one of Egypt's major deities
04:02See how well-preserved she is. She's got the fingernails
04:07Yeah, yeah
04:09And her teeth are still intact. The mummy was rumored to be a priestess who worshipped a volatile and aggressive God
04:15And the deity may still be protecting her in the afterlife
04:21Here's some artifacts we found in the priestess's tomb the unwrapped head of the mummy it was pretty intense
04:31It was the whole face the face was intact everything kind of looked like something out of a horror movie
04:38Suddenly Caleb is struck by an overwhelming sensation
04:44Everything blurred I was just trapped in my own little world. I don't even know if anybody else even realized
04:52You know what? I was experiencing
04:56It got so intense that it was unbearable
04:58As soon as we left that gallery, I just felt a lot of relief I was just glad to be out of there
05:12That evening Caleb still can't shake the unnerving experience
05:18He's still in a state of shock
05:21He's still in a state of shock
05:23That evening Caleb still can't shake the unnerving experience
05:32As soon as I got home I started to feel that same uneasiness
05:38That I felt when we were at this gallery
05:42So was it boring?
05:45No, no actually
05:48There was this mummy priestess
05:58There's still skin on her face
06:04And I looked right through her eyes she didn't have any but for a second it felt like she was looking right through me
06:14And all of a sudden I couldn't breathe
06:17He was scared after visiting the mummy exhibit
06:21We attribute it to the fact that this is Caleb from a very young age
06:25He always had very deep interest in different topics when he got his mind on to something
06:31It was very hard to get him to think about anything else
06:35So when he first started talking about the mummy we kind of said to ourselves
06:40Okay, this is Caleb's new obsession
06:43Are you all right, honey?
06:45I'm sure he's fine. You're probably just a little freaked out. You saw a real mummy for the first time. It can be a little scary
06:53My parents they kind of blew it off as I saw a dead body a mummy
06:58You know, that's that's gonna be a little frightening and that's how they tried to rationalize it
07:04But Caleb finds little comfort in his parents reassurances. I
07:09Just got the dreadful feeling that I was in harm's way
07:15Oh
07:45Oh
08:16In
08:28A small town in upstate New York
08:31Middle school student Caleb Weaver has an eerie encounter with an ancient Egyptian mummy. Here's some artifacts. We found in the priestesses, too
08:46It felt you know, like something was there kind of looking at me I felt very singled out
08:53When Caleb returned that day from the field trip at school
08:56He was very quiet
08:59He did talk about seeing this mummy exhibit and he didn't like it. There's still
09:05skin on her face and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe
09:13That night
09:15We
09:19Believe she was a priestess who served one of Egypt's major needs
09:24The mummy was rumored to be a priestess who worshipped an angry God
09:31Who may still be guarding her in the afterlife
09:45I
09:52Just see these glowing green eyes and it just lets out this low guttural growl
10:06And I just remember being absolutely terrified
10:10And I heard the heavy footsteps of this thing as it made its way across my bedroom
10:33And then it was gone
10:35The
10:38Next morning Caleb doesn't know what to think the nightmare felt so real
10:47What was going on in your room last night all that ruckus you heard it you heard the
10:57The growling
10:59Right after he went to see this mummy exhibit. That's when he started saying he heard things
11:03He thought he could hear something breathing upstairs in his room
11:08What's going on Caleb?
11:11It was some sort of animal
11:15Monster, I don't know what it was, but I
11:20Do know it wanted to hurt me. I told him everything I saw and experienced
11:27Caleb you're probably just upset from seeing that mummy at the museum
11:32You probably heard something but this house is old it makes all kinds of strange noises
11:37My dad he's dismissing it as you know, I'm too old to be experiencing, you know, the boogeyman or monsters
11:44No
11:45No, this was real
11:48It's eyes
11:49They were glowing his dad and I chalked it up to his imagination. Maybe it was just a very bad dream
11:58Forget it
12:02Knew you wouldn't believe me Caleb's always been a very unique individual and he seems to experience emotions
12:09Very strongly. We just assumed that if we were patient and let him work his way through it. It would be the end of it
12:16My parents said it was probably just a nightmare. But when you wake up, you know that distinction. I know it wasn't that
12:24Caleb
12:27Finds himself in a constant state of fear but chooses to suffer in silence
12:40I did have a few close friends
12:42But I never spoke about any of this my parents dismissed me. So, you know, I heard my friends just gonna dismiss it, too
12:48I felt very isolated
12:50So I just kept everything to myself I didn't know I had really any other option at that point other than
12:56You know just to try to suck it up and deal with it
13:02Hey, so Caleb who's that girl you were trying to talk to today? Yeah, cuz that girl definitely shut you down
13:07Seriously. Oh my gosh. She didn't want anything to do with you as you see kind of know it
13:11Honestly, like next time I wouldn't even talk to her. All right, I think I'm gonna try hey go for it
13:16Go for it, dude, please be my guest
13:19All right, well we gotta go we're gonna be late for soccer, all right, I'll see you later I see you later
13:23Yeah a couple weeks after this started I came home from the school bus
13:46I'd left my keys inside
13:49So I was locked out of the house
13:54The only way to get to the inside of the house was to go through the basement
14:19The moment I walked in the basement I was creeped out by it
14:23I
14:46Paused for just a moment and I heard this whispering
14:54And when I turned to look in the corner
15:01I saw the eyes and I saw it's the head and the scales of this thing
15:14Here lies the mortal remains of an ancient Egyptian preserved according to custom
15:19We believe she was a priestess who served one of Egypt's major deities
15:26Ever since Caleb Weaver encountered an ancient Egyptian mummy on a school field trip in upstate, New York
15:34He's been having disturbing nightmares that feel all too real
15:39The mummy is thought to have been a priestess who worshipped an aggressive and animalistic God and it's now protecting her in the afterlife
15:49This thing is just constantly just trying to terrorize and torment me. I just tried coping with that sense of dread
15:58One day Caleb accidentally locks himself out of his house and is forced to go through the basement
16:10Yeah, as soon as I started walking down into this basement it looked like a crypt
16:16Where you just you know, you're not supposed to be there. This is somebody else's a domain
16:23and I turned to look in the corner I
16:28Saw this presence again
16:30it was crocodile in appearance and partly mutated with a person and just very very massive and
16:37Very menacing and I was absolutely terrified
16:46This thing was coming after me like a creature would stalk prey. I ran out of there as fast as I could
16:58At this point I knew it was something
17:01Paranormal, I didn't know what exactly was going on. But you know, I knew that this thing was
17:08targeting me and
17:10It was not friendly. I
17:12His parents think Caleb has an overactive imagination
17:16Until his mother notices an alarming change in her son's demeanor
17:21He did begin to have trouble sleeping. He did become very frustrated
17:27Caleb is everything. All right
17:30Do you want to talk
17:34When I got home the door was locked and I
17:38Didn't have my keys on me. He had been left home alone and he had gotten very upset about something
17:43But when I went down the stairs to the basement, there was this
17:48monster
17:49And I was like, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's going on
17:53I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on
17:57There was this
17:59monster
18:01The more Caleb describes this frightening encounter the more Susan suspects. She knows why he senses something in the house. I
18:10Think I understand this house our family home
18:17What about things have happened
18:21Like um my father
18:23He was a very angry man when I was a child my father was a very abusive alcoholic
18:31There were many instances of domestic violence
18:34When I moved back into the home as an adult, I would experience a memory a
18:40flashback of a violent episode in the house
18:45I thought that the house maybe had some residual energy from
18:49Experiences when I was young
18:53But Susan has no idea that her troubled childhood is unrelated to what Caleb is going through I
19:04Didn't see anything for a couple of weeks, but I always felt this thing there
19:12I
19:14Would avoid being in the house by myself
19:16I would avoid being in the house by myself
19:33Mom
19:38Dad
19:43Hello
19:46I
20:17I
20:26Started getting very sick to my stomach. It was a very overwhelming sensation. Like I was just having an anxiety attack
20:46I
20:48I
20:50I
21:14For months Caleb Weaver has been tormented by a mysterious and horrific monster
21:21that resembles an ancient Egyptian God
21:29Also, I just felt a searing pain felt like something put my arm in a vise I didn't think it was gonna let go
21:39My arm felt like it was on fire and I realized I was bleeding
21:48It was clearly a bite mark
21:51I
21:55Caleb keeps the assault a secret from his parents. I
21:59Hit it because nobody believed what I was going through
22:03I'm the only one seeing this thing and experiencing what's going on. I felt just
22:10helpless
22:12With nowhere to turn
22:14Caleb spirals into darkness
22:17It did get worse he did become more depressed and had
22:22What I referred to as an emotional breakdown
22:30We got Caleb counseling because we were very worried about him after a while Caleb pulled away from us
22:37He did not share what was going on
22:39Soon after graduating from high school
22:42Caleb flees his childhood home hoping to escape the monster that has terrorized him for years. I
22:50Moved out of the house for no other reason than just to escape this
22:58Caleb eventually lands in Glen Burnie, Maryland
23:01Hundreds of miles away where he finds work as a security guard at a local mall
23:06I started actually having a normal life without being terrorized every night and
23:12He meets his girlfriend Laura
23:16How was your day
23:18Other than some trouble making skateboarders. I was all right
23:23Caleb opened up with me about his childhood. I was very supportive when he
23:29Told me all of his experiences
23:31Because I did always believe that there is something else out there
23:37Laura she's very open you can talk to her about anything. She's caring and sweet
23:42And that's what really attracted me to her that really strengthened our relationship. You know, she's fully accepting of it
23:48You know, there's there's no doubt in her eyes
23:51You hungry?
23:53I'm gonna make some dinner. Come on
23:55You hungry? I can eat. I'm gonna make some dinner. Come on
24:03In his new life Caleb forms another important relationship with a co-worker named John
24:11So how do you like work as a security guard? Oh, I love it. Yeah, it's a great job pays the bills
24:17You know, it does pay the bills
24:19I've started working with a company that he was a supervisor for and we just became close friends ever since
24:26There's just there's this one lady that just always gives me trouble
24:30Blue cardigan. Okay. I know you said oh enough said I know exactly you're talking about. She's interesting. She's a character
24:45I've been meaning to ask you about those four scars on your arm. What happened?
24:52Ah
24:59The conversation just kind of got brought up and he was very vague about it
25:10Hey, I can't get this flashlight to work
25:21I
25:34Do you
25:37Believe in the paranormal that creatures can exist that aren't from this world. Actually I do I
25:46Went through a terrible experience and for a while
25:51This thing made my life a living hell
25:55When I was a kid I went into the woods and came across this old building in one of the corners
26:01Was this old book? I picked it up. It was a satanic Bible a
26:07Demon attached itself to John that day
26:13And he was eventually freed by a deliverance minister John later became his assistant
26:21It tortured me
26:24For years, and I had no idea what to do until I I met this man named Bill Bean and he
26:32Delivered me from I was studying under the minister that delivered me to help others in dealing with the supernatural
26:44What about you
26:47Yeah
26:49Growing up. I went through a lot of stuff Caleb didn't really talk about it much. I
26:56Didn't want to push it too far just given what I had went through it. You're very reclusive
27:00You don't want to talk to anybody about it for fear of them thinking that you're crazy
27:05You're gonna need some more wood for this fire, huh?
27:14In December 2013 Caleb returns home for the holiday
27:20Oh
27:25It was nice to have him home and I enjoyed seeing him welcome home son
27:39That night Caleb sleeps in his old bedroom for the first time since he escaped his tormentor years ago
27:49I
28:08Kept hearing over and over was so back
28:20And as soon as I typed it in everything clicked the name came up
28:25with this ancient Egyptian deity
28:28Took the form of crocodile was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians
28:33There's a protection entity to those that worshipped him
28:36According to Egyptian lore the dead enlisted the help of so back to protect them as they traveled through the afterlife
28:50So
28:53So that could be guarding the mummy that Caleb encountered on his school field trip so many years ago
29:01And now Caleb believes so Beck views him as a potential threat
29:09Took me as a threat and basically targeted me from that point on
29:20I
29:24This thing that it terrorized me for years, it's no longer a mystery. I knew this thing that I was going up against
29:31But he has no idea what to do about it
29:49I
30:04When he was a teenager Caleb Weaver was tormented by a monster he couldn't identify
30:12I'm completely started shutting down
30:14I end up moving out of the house and I moved out of the state for no other reason than just to escape this
30:20years later while home for the holidays
30:23Caleb reawakens the once dormant beast and learns his name
30:29This thing was an Egyptian God. I knew what it was now so back
30:37It is widely believed that so back was a dark God who took the form of a vicious crocodile
30:44protecting the dead in the afterlife
30:49I
31:03Felt a weight come right on me like I was gonna just fall right through the floor
31:19a
31:28Few days later Caleb returns to the Maryland home. He shares with his girlfriend Laura
31:38Hi, baby, welcome home not now
31:42As soon as he walked in the door, I knew that there was something wrong with him
31:47is
31:48everything, okay
31:51What are you looking for I can help you I don't want your help Laura
31:58This anger that he was displaying to that level was not him
32:04It was definitely like looking at a stranger. I started to become afraid all the time
32:09Because I didn't know what was gonna set him off next
32:13got the
32:15Nuggets
32:17Laura isn't the only one who notices a drastic change in Caleb. John is one of Caleb's best friends
32:26Look at that weasel
32:28He needs to be taught a lesson
32:31Before Caleb went up to New York for the holidays. He was a fun-loving person
32:35He came back and there was a lot more hostility in him. I
32:39Don't think he's up to anything who cares look at him. He needs to know who runs things around here
32:48A dirtbag get over here
32:53What did I say get over here now
32:56He was going out looking for problems. He just he wanted to assert his dominancy what I do
33:03Look, I'm just minding my own business. All right, that's it. Now. I'm gonna kick your sorry ass in the next freaking month
33:09He wanted to hurt somebody John thinks he understands when he was younger John himself was tormented by a demon
33:17Now he recognizes the same disturbing signs in his friend Caleb. It was Caleb physically, but you know mentally and spiritually
33:25it just wasn't I
33:28Knew something was up and dealing with my experiences. It led me to believe one thing that he was possessed
33:38Desperate to help John and Laura decide to voice their concerns. I
33:43Didn't start to think it was paranormal until John and I sat down and discussed it
33:48I believe that something had come home with him. I had no idea what to do to help him. I
33:53Was desperate
33:55Hey, what's going on?
33:59What happened to you when you went back home
34:04You haven't been acting like yourself
34:07Caleb
34:10Sometimes I'm scared of you
34:13scared of me
34:14Why I think something followed you from New York
34:19It's latched on to you. And I think it's the reason for the way you're acting and the things that are happening
34:24Since his own experience with a demon
34:27John has learned to free others from possession. I
34:31Want to perform a deliverance on you?
34:34To break the attachment of this evil and to rid you of it once and for all
34:43I
34:44Okay, let's do it. I
34:46Was open to breaking this attachment of this thing and getting rid of it
34:51At that point. I just said, you know, I have to do something now
34:56Before this gets out of hand. It's it's just gonna get worse from here
35:00John employs specific prayers to command the demonic entity to leave Caleb's body by the power of his cross
35:07His blood and his resurrection. I
35:10Bind you Satan the spirits powers and forces of darkness
35:16another world in the evil forces of nature
35:22In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth
35:24By the power of his cross the spiritual warfare prayer is used when you're going to battle the demonic entities
35:30It's calling upon God to send down his angels and be your protection and fight for you
35:36It
35:39Was overwhelming I was put into a haze. I only remember bits and pieces here and there of things
35:45Everything's just seemed like a blur
35:51At this point I started becoming fearful it stirred up it's out, you know, I've got to do this
35:56Otherwise things are gonna get really really bad get out of here Laura
36:02John told me to leave because
36:04Caleb had threatened him and he didn't want me to get hurt. I was terrified. I was afraid that something bad was going to happen
36:34In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth an ancient Egyptian God named Sobek has possessed Caleb Weaver
36:41Taking control of his body and mind
36:43In the evil forces of nature
36:45Caleb's friend John attempts to perform a deliverance to free him from this evil
36:49You don't want to die
36:51You don't want to die
36:53You don't want to die
36:55You don't want to die
36:57You don't want to die
36:59You don't want to die
37:01You don't want to die
37:03You don't want to do that
37:05It freaks me out, but I didn't want this entity to know that it scared me
37:11If you show fear it can just take you over it will completely devour you
37:33Ah
37:43John this is me. You've got to stop or someone's gonna die
37:49Oh
37:59It's Caleb, all right, this thing is too powerful I
38:06Need help I've never experienced strength like this. It was a supernatural strength that could not have come from a human being
38:14John
38:18Admits defeat and calls in the only man he knows who can help his mentor
38:25Bill Bean is an ordained deliverance minister who specializes in freeing those possessed by the supernatural
38:32He saved John once and now he is here to save Caleb
38:37Caleb was under demonic possession Caleb was exposed to something in his early childhood years
38:44Some sort of doorway was open somehow some way were these demonic forces to come on to him
38:53Are you ready? Let's do it
38:59As a safety measure bill restrains Caleb
39:03My biggest fears were that Caleb could possibly die from this or kill one of us
39:15After we handcuffed him and put him in the chair, it was like a light switch it was total night and day
39:21I
39:31Will say to the Lord you are my refuge
39:43Caleb's facial features were actually changing this demon inside of him had this sinister grin
39:51You will not fear
39:56Darkness that destroys
40:21I
40:28Literally felt the demon leaving him through his mouth and he was delivered right then and there I
40:35I
40:47Knew it was out of me. I felt lighter I felt
40:52Peaceful I remember just breaking down and crying I
40:57Felt that intense feeling of relief when you wake out of the world's most horrible dream
41:02When I looked into his eyes, I actually saw Caleb I wasn't afraid of him anymore
41:12In April
41:142014
41:15Caleb and Laura Mary
41:17The fact that we survived this I know that we're going to be together for the rest of our lives
41:22If a possession did not tear us apart that there's nothing in this world that can tear Caleb and I apart
41:29Since the final deliverance Caleb no longer fears his tormentor
41:34I don't have anything to be afraid of anymore, and that's an incredibly powerful feeling
41:39But I feel like I'm always gonna have some type of connection with this ancient Egyptian deity
41:45There's nothing I can say to make anybody believe it's your own little hell on earth
41:50I don't wish anyone to go through it, but I know what's real. I know it's not real and
41:55And I'm not alone
