neighbors from hell continues. >> reporter: dan davis and his neighbor barry sweigle have been skirmishing over this fence for years. >> he'd knock it down. we'd go put it back. he'd knock it down and we'd go put it back. >> reporter: so, like a run-up to a miniature war, dan drew his red line in the sand -- literally with spray paint --

rightly guessing the squabble was about to turn nuclear. >> so, i drove down to rite aid, got two disposable cameras, came back, because i just had the feeling he was going to do something. >> reporter: dan's no photographer. in fact, he's all thumbs, but still managed to fire off these shots just as barry's dozer is about to take its first bite. >> and i heard the bulldozer start. he was coming up our fence line. and immediately, he started tearing out my retainer wall, he took my fence out up to this point. and i thought that's exactly where he's going to stop, but he didn't. >> reporter: oh, no. barry is just getting started. and his thirst for destruction is not likely to be quenched, especially with a 30-pack of cold beer riding shotgun in the dozer. >> what shocked me was when that house started moving. it was -- and i look -- look something like that. gets my curiosity up, and i'm interested.

>> reporter: who wouldn't be? and thanks to a neighbor's cell phone video, we have your exclusive ring side seats to barry's rumble in the rubble. watch this. >> he's smashing my house. >> smashing your house? >> my house -- he's trashing. >> reporter: and listen to this 911 call. dan's doing play-by-play as his own catastrophe. >> now, he's back and running over my truck. right over my new diesel pickup. right over the top of it. it was a hell of a nice pickup. and when i seen him go over that truck i -- holy jesus! i gotta watch all of this, you know? >> reporter: the method to this madness suggests barry is nothing if not thorough. demolish house -- check. crush pickup -- check. up next, the power poles. >> you better get some cops up here with some guns because this son of a gun is crazy. >> 911 emergency. >> somebody hit the post. >> somebody did what? i'm sorry, to the power line? >> there's people walking around

it. >> what a crazy -- they should shoot that [ bleep ]! >> somebody's gonna shoot him. >> where's the [ bleep ] cops? >> reporter: by the time sheriff's deputies scream onto ryan drive, the electric lines have been flash-dancing with 115,000 volts. by now, the entire neighborhood is in panic. by now the whole neighborhood is in a panic and with very good reason -- -- like a crazed storm trooper, barry has suddenly changed targets, blasting through several back yards and fences on his way to demolishing two more neighborhood homes. after punching a hole in the side of a third house, he takes aim at the main residence of dan and mary davis, where mary is napping -- dozing as it were -- on a sofa. >> i was inside, right behind this window almost.

>> reporter: what was once a window. >> yeah, and i kept hearing the noise, louder and louder. but i was, you know, about half asleep. and my dog was acting funny. >> reporter: ernie had every right to feel a little peculiar. all hell's breaking loose out there. mary's bedroom takes a direct hit. >> and i see a lady standing in the doorway, and i'm just, like screaming on the top of my lungs, like freaking out, "get out of the house! get out of the house!" >> reporter: next, barry takes out mary's office. then the living room where she'd been sleeping. on foot now, deputies cortani and backes race to catch up. >> we were ramped up. there's no two ways about it. >> and the information we're getting of what we're potentially dealing with. >> yeah. everybody's screaming, screaming at us to shoot him. >> reporter: did you have your guns up on him? >> i had my gun aimed at him, and i got his attention by waving my free hand. he looked, and he immediately surrendered. >> reporter: barry was booked on charges of malicious mischief, burglary and assault with a

bulldozer -- which by the way sits in a chain-link jail of its own -- seized as evidence but a tad too big for the sheriff's weapons lockup. >> i think this was my first ever bulldozer-as-weapon-of-choice case. >> reporter: for more than a year, he shuffled between jail and a psychological facility. with time served and time off for good behavior he will be off next month. and guess who's none too happy about that -- >> i'll tell you. our justice stinks. >> reporter: these days, dan davis has the look of a man whose dog just died. in fact, ernie passed away a few months back. mary is housebound with health problems. >> my wife is 76 years old.

i'll be 76 in september and here that butthead is getting his meals cooked, his beds made, his clothes washed. >> reporter: the bulldozed buildings have been replaced and the wreckage of last year removed, but the davis home had to be rebuilt from the foundation up. and it's still not ready for them to move in. >> we feel that we've been incarcerated longer than that man has for the sentence that he got for the damage he done to us. >> i think the system's kinda screwy. i think he should be struggling. we should be sitting on the gravy train like he is. >> reporter: still, a restraining order will keep barry from returning to his home for at least ten years. most of the old equipment and antiques are gone except for this logging skidder, a hulking reminder of what one angry man and one big dozer can do. >> and it's quick, and it's loud, and it's noisy. and every time his brother started it up over there, it scared the crap out of me. >> reporter: as for the final tally of damages, it runs like this. pickup truck -- $40,000.

tractor -- $16,000. boat -- $8000. various homes and buildings -- $300,000. images of barry's neighborhood block party -- priceless. next there goes the neighborhood. >> squatters. they're just defiant. >> squatters taking over mansions for free. it's legal and this guy is teaching them how. are you saying you have some kind of authority here in north america? when neighbors from hell returns. gers and toes. i'm here to talk about bums. how do you look after your bum?

we return to neighbors from hell. >> reporter: what happens if your new neighbor just won't leave? they move in but refuse to move out.

>> they still refuse to leave. >> reporter: becoming a squatter from hell. >> my house has turned into a battleground. >> reporter: like the recent airbnb house guest in palm springs. >> a squatter nightmare. she says the guy that rented it won't leave. >> reporter: but if you want to hear what may be the craziest, most outrageous squatter story, you got to go to boca raton, florida. a city synonymous with conspicuous consumption, designer clothing, designer dogs and bombastic boats. welcome to the aptly-named golden harbour drive, where everyone's back yard is right on the water. >> rocking the infinity pool. pretty good look. >> reporter: it is a tony enclave that not long ago played reluctant host to a strange and uninvited guest. >> this is it right here. >> reporter: mike avirom lives here and notices something odd transpiring at a house on his block. this is a sweet house. it is a $2.3 million, 7,500 square foot, plus-sized palace. the previous owner had money

problems, signed it over to bank of america and moved out. now a stranger is moving in, without paying a penny to the bank, and he's not alone. a bunch of guys pull up and move into this beautiful house and tell you they are establishing an embassy. >> an embassy for their mission. >> reporter: their religious mission? >> they're going to have transient families coming in and out in accord with their ministry. >> reporter: and your response to this was? >> i don't think that's going to fly. >> reporter: it gets even weirder, quickly. the new occupant posts paperwork on the house, saying nobody can enter without an invitation and two types of i.d. on the elaborate forms, the name of the man who now claims ownership, andre barbosa. neighbors google him right away and up pops the facebook page of a 23-year-old brazilian, an aspiring hip-hop artist who calls himself "loki boy" after the norse god of mischief. that is when neighbors call 911. >> they've changed the locks.

they've put a no trespassing sign out, and they're moving in. >> all right, i'm going to have an officer dispatched as soon as possible. >> we called the police on these [ bleep ] right here. squatters, they're just defiant. >> reporter: the cops show up and speak to loki boy, who you can see right there on a neighbor's cell phone video. but here's where what seems like a clear-cut trespassing case gets truly crazy. loki boy presents the police with this document, which stops them in their tracks. loki boy is claiming something called adverse possession. >> the notion is that someone can move onto a property, fix it up, take care of it, and after a period of time it's their property. >> reporter: it is an obscure, but very real, law that is on the books in all 50 states. if loki boy stays for seven years, the mansion is his. so this kid was pretty clever because he was using language that was very confusing for you and your force. >> absolutely. >> reporter: thus begins a

bizarre stalemate, with loki boy occupying the house day after day. police, prosecutors and the bank are in a state of confusion and paralysis. which is a lucky break for loki boy, who, meanwhile, is living large, working on a new rap video with the mansion as a backdrop. was that frustrating for you? >> very. >> reporter: more than four weeks into this thing, lyn houston, a nervous next door neighbor, has had enough of this squatter from hell. >> i was going to do anything to get rid of him. anything. >> reporter: you were willing to buy that house? >> yes. >> reporter: you were going to take out a mortgage? >> no. >> reporter: just pay cash? >> yes. >> reporter: cash for this house to get this kid out? >> yes. >> neighbors outraged to find out a squatter -- >> reporter: when her phone calls to the bank are not returned, she alerts the media. >> we have a hard to believe but true story out of florida. >> reporter: the nervous neighbor is convinced that the nightmare here on golden harbour drive is connected to something much larger. >> i believe there's somebody much more important, much

higher, much wealthier behind him. don't know who. >> reporter: we decide to do some digging. remember those weird documents loki boy posted on the front of the house? there is another name on there, james mcbride, who, as we learn, is the founder of a mysterious group called divine province. >> we can take back all this property that has been taken from us. >> reporter: mcbride is an ex-con who's done time for cocaine importation and run-ins with the irs. he says he hasn't paid federal income taxes in 26 years and claims he can teach you how to live like him. mcbride is very suspicious of the media, but he agrees to speak exclusively with abc news. what is your connection to andre? >> he's a member of the divine province. >> reporter: he says he didn't know in advance about loki boy's mansion takeover, but he now supports him fully.

it's lawful to move into a house -- >> absolutely. >> reporter: that's not yours, and say, this is mine? >> correct. >> reporter: but there are many other laws mcbride feels he and his followers are not subject to. how? he shows me a seal he says was a gift from pope benedict himself. what can you do with this? >> it means i can now give orders or issue decrees that the vatican and the roman curia must follow. >> reporter: are you saying that you have some sort of papal authority here in north america? >> in the globe. >> reporter: in the globe? >> correct. >> reporter: so you have primary control of the earth? >> correct. >> reporter: that seems like a lot of power. >> i understand. it is. and a lot of responsibility. >> reporter: this may sound ridiculous, but the fbi is not laughing. there are an estimated 300,000 people in this country who share some version of mcbride's belief that american laws do not apply to them. some of these people are using

tactics like adverse possession to take over vacant homes. >> why did you decide on this house? >> why not? it's a beautiful house. >> reporter: meanwhile, back on golden harbour drive. with media attention reaching a fever pitch, the cops mount a raid. >> we showed up here, opened the door, walked in, no one's here. >> reporter: they haul away loki boy's stuff and change the locks. 51 days after it began, the nightmare on golden harbour drive ends with a whimper. loki's house of cards has tumbled down. he has sneaked off quietly. and the mansion has now been sold, legally, to this guy. zev freidus, a successful boca raton realtor. >> i live with my two children, my daughter amy and my son aaron. >> reporter: and what about the squatters? >> so i knew this was the house

that had the squatters, but that was about it. i don't think it effected the value of the property. >> reporter: zev's purchase brings a huge sigh of relief to neighbors like becky davis. >> hey, how you doing? >> nice to see you. >> nice to see you. you know how infamous your house is, don't you? >> i know, well. >> the neighborhood was very, very frightened. he was just scary because we didn't know anything about him. >> reporter: and remember james mcbride, leader of divine province? he recently learned the hard way that he is, in fact, subject to the law. just last week, among other things, he was convicted of impersonating a diplomat and he's most likely going back to prison. >> i think the whole neighborhood feels safer. >> reporter: if anything good has come out of this ordeal, the neighbors say it's that they've grown much closer. here they are throwing a victory celebration over the eviction of the squatter from hell, complete with a surprise guest. >> okay, loki, come on out! >> reporter: a loki boy impersonator. ♪

last one you'd expect folks to fight over. but this vacant house on east liberty street is the hottest property since good old nehemiah hubbard founded the town 200 years ago. oh, what a fuss over a little fixer-upper. this all started in 2007, over a simple real estate deal, correct? >> right. it was the property next -- next door here. >> reporter: meet rick and cindy krlich. longtime hubbard residents. they say all they wanted was to buy the property next door. one problem, it wasn't for sale. these folks, john and marlene clemente, had inherited half the house. the other half was tied up in court, but rick krlich tried to buy it anyway. even though it had been in the clemente family for generations. >> i says, well, you are not getting my land. that's not right. it's my family since 1922. how could you do that? >> the clemente family called me up, and they told me to take my bid off the table, and if i didn't take my bid off the table, we'd be bitter enemies for life. >> reporter: rick never got the

house, but he says he's still paying for what he did. as the town fire chief, clemente had lots of friends. and suddenly, rick and cindy say it seemed like every single one of them was driving by, honking the horn. and it wasn't to say hello. >> the clemente family conspired together to organize a horn blowing campaign against us. that's really what this is all about. >> reporter: ask not for whom the horn blows. it blows for rick and cindy krlich. >> in the beginning, it was a hundred times a day. >> a hundred times a day. >> a hundred. >> reporter: so they began planning their payback. their house now bristles with expensive surveillance cameras. as we were looking them over, just watch what happened.

>> the last camera's down here on the tree. >> okay. oh, somebody just honked their horn. did you hear that? >> yeah. >> was that a friendly honk? >> probably not. >> reporter: rick says his ear is now finely attuned. >> do certain makes and models have a particular sound? >> yes. you can tell an import horn from a domestic horn. >> reporter: who are these horn blowers? not just people in the town, but people who work for the town. firefighters including some from the department john clemente ran. and police. and here's one of hubbard township's finest, not serving, not protecting, just honking. it's enough to wake the dead. this hearse caught ten times. and would you look at this. the horn on the bus goes -- an education for hubbard's next generation of horn blowers. rick and cindy renamed their dining room, the evidence room. there's more in the basement.

>> there's hundreds and hundreds of photographs and discs and stuff here. >> you're like a detective. so when did people start blowing the horns? were you recruiting people? >> no. >> no. >> -- telling them to -- >> no. >> --get this guy out of town? >> no, nobody. >> no, that's what he tells everybody. >> reporter: john says he can explain everything. his son's girlfriend and some of her friends would occasionally blow the horn but he says that was just their way of saying good-bye. >> when they would leave the house, the girls would toot their horn. just to let them know they are leaving. >> reporter: a little toot. "yeah," rick says, "like this car leaving the clemente's driveway at four in the morning." does the city of hubbard have a horn blowing epidemic? >> an epidemic? no. we do have a problem in one particular area. >> reporter: we patrolled around town with the police chief, jim taafe. >> at some point, people began blowing horns. but it became clear at another

point that, on occasion, it was used to harass the person that lived here. >> reporter: krlich began taking horn blowers to court. he says he got orders of protection against more than a dozen people. and he didn't stop there. he started suing. somebody beeps. rick sues. beep. sue. at the trumbull county courthouse, the legal paperwork is piling up. rick is now suing no fewer than 40 alleged horn blowers, including the clementes. >> this isn't my job, and i don't want to do this. and i'm sad that i have to. >> reporter: krlich versus everybody. it seems like the town of hubbard is against the krlichs

and everybody is in on it now. >> well, why wouldn't you be against him? >> if you beep your horn one time, he'll take you to court. just a regular beep. >> reporter: does the city of hubbard want the krlichs to leave? >> oh, i believe so. >> reporter: do you think you have made matters worse? >> we don't how else to stop it. >> reporter: we knew it was a long shot, but we asked both sides if they would consider mediation. >> we would love it for it to stop. but how do you get everybody in hubbard to come to a meeting and -- >> now there's a thought. get everybody in hubbard to come to a meeting. oh yeah, rick. that's just what we're gonna do. it's the "20/20" bbq peace summit. but will the warring parties or anyone else bother to show up? find out when we come back. show up? find out when we come back. t a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. because the best moments in life aren't experienced from the sidelines. now there's nothing holding you back.

>> hello. >> hi, there. >> reporter: the judge says mediation has a better chance without cameras. >> guys, you can leave. out of here. >> reporter: three hours later, judge billie emerges with a slice of coconut cake, but no deal. >> he's thinking about it, and that's a good first step. >> reporter: next stop, the clementes', the people rick and cindy say organized the horn blowing harassment in the first place. >> hi. >> reporter: another marathon session, but at the end of the day -- >> my assessment, they're just not ready for mediation at this point. >> reporter: it looks pretty hopeless, but the next day, clear skies and a new plan. "20/20" throwing a peace and reconciliation barbecue complete with banners, balloons, and burgers. we even hired a classical guitar quartet and an acappella group, hoping their harmonies will inspire.

we all just arrived on the scene we got about an hour before everyone starts arriving. we've invited the entire town with full-page newspaper ads. it was a big story. >> a national news magazine trying to broker peace. >> reporter: think we're going to come to a happy medium over hamburgers and hot dogs today? >> sure hope so. >> this is between two people and the whole city is involved. >> reporter: we do want to welcome you to the hubbard, ohio, peace and reconciliation barbecue. the big question, the clementes

and the krliches. if they don't show up, the peace and reconciliation barbeque is a bust. we heard conflicting reports. they were coming. they weren't coming. and then, surprise, suddenly there they are -- john and marlene clemente. and then we got word rick and cindy krlich were on their way. >> i think it's a little bit overwhelming for both of us. >> reporter: and there they were, in the same place at the same time, for the first time in years, not counting courtrooms. are you nervous? >> we don't know who is here. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: for a moment, we thought we had a breakthrough. the krliches' representative vic rubenstein confronts the clemente's attorney, jim wise, insisting they go ahead with mediation. >> can we hear that from mr. clemente's mouth, that he's ready to mediate? >> my clients have always been willing to mediate. >> well, then let's get it on. >> reporter: but is he willing to compromise? >> that is up to him. i can't answer that. >> reporter: the lawyers for both sides made brief statements, but the krliches and clementes themselves spent the peace and reconciliation
