Inside this investigation

The team reacts to a hiss-like sound while using holy water during the second part of our Halloween investigation. JJ appears as “Brother John” in a costume; this should not be confused with a documented formal exorcism. The recording includes playback and discussion of noises heard in the house. I want you to compare the sound with the nearby speech, movement and equipment before deciding what it resembles. The chapter list provides a route through the experiment and the reactions it prompted.

For your own review, listen once without trying to hear a particular word. Then compare the suggested interpretation with the surrounding audio and the question being asked. A repeated playback can help locate a sound, but it can also make an ambiguous fragment feel more familiar. The original description below preserves the investigation notes rather than replacing them with a verdict. In this episode's discussion, give the exact time, describe what you hear and explain any ordinary source you think should be considered. You can also compare the neighboring recordings through the episode navigation.
