Why are Sergey and Eilfie downstairs when Dawn rushes to check when Lola screams? Eilfie was sitting in the room upstairs when Dawn ran out. And Sergey was also upstairs, with Ryan.

Similar scenes in this episode are portrayed as happening on two different days, but in my opinion, it is likely the footage was recorded on one day. Take a look at the similarities between the screenshots on the left which supposedly occurred on the first day of the investigation, and compare them with the screenshots on the right, which supposedly happened on the second day of the investigation and see what you think.

There are striking similarities in the scenes above, which would seem to be too coincidental to have happened by chance, considering they were portrayed as having happened on two different days. It is my opinion that these scenes were all recorded on the same day based on the following observations:

1. COULD THIS BE A FABRICATED SCENE SHOT DURING THE DAYTIME?

I can’t prove if any of the above scenes and situations were fabricated or re-created, but I am certain that it should not have been possible for Sergey and Eilfie to be standing downstairs, outside of Dawn’s bedroom, if Eilfie was in the same room as Dawn and Dawn ran out first; and Sergey was supposed to be monitoring the Shakti session with Ryan.

I can’t tell for sure if that’s daylight or movie light coming through and around the blinds in Dawn’s bedroom, illuminating Lola and the room. But the lighting is suspicious, because it is similar to the type of lighting in scene towards the beginning of the episode when Dawn is giving Ryan and Katrina a house tour. And, the lighting on Lola in Screenshots 2 & 4 is different than the “nighttime” scene with Lola and Dawn in Screenshot 5.

Screenshot 2, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 15 minutes 48 seconds.

I cannot definitively tell if the light bleeding through and around the blinds is daylight or a movie light; but if it’s daylight, than that would mean this was a re-creation of a nighttime scene involving Lola.

Screenshot 4, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 15 minutes 55 seconds.

I included this shot with Lola (and Ryan) so you can clearly see the pink color on her sleeping mask, and notice the details of how the light is on her, the covers, the pillow, the wall, and the wooden headboard. The light source is not from an infrared camera.

Screenshot 3

Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 15 min.16 sec.

Ryan smelled something “old” and asked if someone walked in the room- two experiences within 48 seconds of putting on the Shakti. Here you can see 29 minutes and 3 seconds remain out of the ‘30 Minute Amygdala Signal Session - Fast Alternation.’

Screenshot 5, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 15 minutes 52 seconds.

Dawn reacts emotionally when she sees Lola lurch. Notice that (1) her hands are empty, and (2) Eilfie is in the room. Although not seen here, (3) Sergey is also upstairs, outside of Lola’s bedroom, near Ryan.

Screenshot 6, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 15 minutes 59 seconds.

Dawn immediately rushes downstairs to check on Lola. But do you notice something wrong with this picture? There are three people already downstairs: Eilfie, Sergey, and and unknown (cameraman?) by the front door.

Screenshot 7, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 15 minutes 59 seconds.

So how could Eilfie be downstairs in this scene if she was upstairs sitting near Dawn- and Dawn ran out of the room first? And, how could Sergey be downstairs when he’s supposed to be upstairs monitoring the Shakti session?

Screenshot 8, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 16 minutes 52 seconds.

Ryan retched after using the 8 Coil Shakti. It is my opinion that Ryan’s retching was a fake, self-induced effect, used as a theatrical means to make it look like he got sick from contact with a supernatural evil entity.

2. RYAN EXPERIENCED SO MUCH IN SO LITTLE TIME USING SHAKTI.

Ryan continues using the 8 Coil Shakti, and claims to experience a humming sound, the bed shaking, and a leg pull. Lola is seen lurching up out of bed at the same time Ryan allegedly feels one of his legs being pulled. Total elapsed time from putting on the Shakti headset to the leg pull: 1 minute and 43 seconds. I understand this segment with Ryan using the 8 Coil Shakti was most likely edited for time, but experiencing five different sensations within 1 minute and 43 seconds sounds like a lot to me.

3. COULD THAT BE DAYLIGHT SHINNING THROUGH?

5. DAWN IS UPSTAIRS. HER HANDS ARE EMPTY. EILFIE’S UPSTAIRS, TOO.

6. DAWN RUNNING DOWNSTAIRS W/SOMETHING IN HER RIGHT HAND, EILFIE & SERGEY IN SCENE.

7. LIGHTENED SCREENSHOT TO SHOW EILFIE AND SERGEY ARE DOWNSTAIRS BEFORE DAWN.

Ryan’s retching is highly suspicious, because during the twenty years that Dr. Michael Persinger used the same kind of stimulation in laboratory settings with more than 1,500 volunteers- not one person has ever vomited. Read the 8 Coil Shakti Explained, and scroll down to look at the paragraph titled, “Highly suspicious retching.”

8. RYAN’S RETCHING.

Screenshot 5, from Paranormal State “Lady Vampire”
Appears at approximately 16 minutes 9 seconds.

This screenshot is out of sequence because it occurs later, but I put it here so you can compare the lighting here, with previous scenes as seen in the Ryan/Lola split-screens in Screenshot 2, and Screenshot 4.

4. COMPARE THE LIGHTING AFTER DAWN RUSHES DOWNSTAIRS TO CHECK ON LOLA.

Here’s Dawn with Lola. Notice there are no highlights on the wooden headboard like there are in Screenshot 4 immediately above this screen capture. Nor is there a similar fade of light along the wall behind the headboard. In general, this is a more darkly lit scene, lacking the color and brightness seen in Screenshots 2 & 4. While this could have something to do with the camera settings, it is my opinion that this Screenshot 5 was shot at night, under different lighting conditions than occurred in Screenshots 2 & 4.
