This episode takes us to Principata Di Lucedio Abbey in Turin Italy. The abbey was built in 1123 and in 1650 a group of girls started practicing demonic worship which lead to the Pope excommunicating the abbey in 1740. It is believed there is an evil spirit in the crypts beneath the abbey and a "weeping column" in the judgement room said to be weeping because of all the evil done there.
The team starts investigating in the People's Church and right away things start hopping. Donna seemed to be the target of a shadow which followed her around the church and, at one point, touched her shoulder. She naturally freaked out and didn't want to go back in, but being the trooper she is, went back into the church to finish the investigation. After seeing shadows around her again, she asked whatever was in there to touch her hand, and something did! At the same time team all heard a whisper saying "go now" which was caught on audio. Poor Donna gets targeted again in the dormitory room when the team, again, sees shadows following her. She seems to be a pretty popular girl with the deceased!
In the judgement room, little Andy tries to debunk the weeping pillar. He finds cracks in the ceiling above the pillar with obvious water damage. He rigs up a bucket of water and pokes a hole in the bucket to see if the water draining would cause the pillar to cry. He unsuccessful and could not debunk the weeping pillar.
Barry and Brian go to the crypts below the church and immediately see something move and the reading on their Ion Meter rises, indicating something paranormal is present. In the second set of crypts, they hear a knocking sound and see a shadow. They follow the shadow which leads them to an alcove containing a piece of wood. Who was knocking wood?!
Nothing was caught on video but a lot of personal experiences were had, just ask Donna, and two EVP's were caught. One was the "go now" heard in the church and another, in Italian, which translated to "stop now, I'm getting angry". Final verdict, haunted.
On to Aberystwyth, Wales and the Nanteos Mansion. Built in 1738 it is the scene of a woman who roams the halls looking for her missing jewels and the sound of a harp playing is also heard. The house is built on top of the original house which, legend has it, 7 monks brought the Holy Grail to the mansion for safe keeping. As the monks died, they were buried in the basement of the original house. Barry and Brian go to the basement and find a tunnel to which Barry says "oh, I like those!" Unfortunately, he is unable to fit into the tunnel and Brian goes instead. He finds a lot of bones and then a shadow comes toward him and he makes a hasty retreat.
On the staircase, Donna asks for a sign of a presence and is rewarded with a spike on the EMF. Andy and Donna follow the EMF readings down the hallway and hear sighing. Donna assures the spirit they don't want to upset it and asks if she is the woman who is upset looking for her jewels. Later, when listening to the recordings, they hear something answer Donna's question with a "yes". Creepy! The team also recorded a "help me" when no one was around. Donna debunked the Holy Grail legend after doing research. Verdict - paranormal activity but nothing threatening. Double D
