He's much more into horses these days. 24 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000 But he's about to encounter a motorcycle that will change the road map of his entire life. 25 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000 The Barton Horse Ranch used to be a thriving showcase of championship thoroughbreds. 26 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000 My grandfather ran the ranch for 40 years with pride and tender love and care. 27 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000 The prolonged illness sidelined him and the ranch was neglected. 28 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Before he died, he was forced to sell off almost all of his horses, except for his favorite, Nugget. 29 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Hey Nugget, thought you looked kinda lonely out here. Brought you a little surprise. 30 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Yeah. 31 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Miss Grandpa, don't you? 32 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000 I do too. 33 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000 I do too. 34 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 He sure left me with a mess here. 35 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000 I know he didn't mean to, but... 36 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 I don't know how I'm gonna save this place. 37 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000 My grandfather left his ranch to me. 38 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 So, if you have any ideas, yeah, you tell me. 39 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000 His dying wish was that I restore it to its former glory. 40 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 My mother called me almost every day from her home in Los Angeles. 41 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 She knew I was in a difficult spot and she wanted to give me support. 42 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Well, did you check with the bank about the loan? 43 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Yeah, and they turned me down. I'm not surprised. 44 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000 You know, I know it would break Grandpa's heart, but I'm gonna have to sell the ranch. 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Oh, Greg, I'm so sorry. 46 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000 I know how much that ranch has always meant to you. 47 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000 I spent all those summers there as a little boy and had such a great time. 48 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Mom, I'm gonna have to call you back. No, Nugget's out of the corral. 49 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 I love you too. Bye. 50 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Nugget! Nugget! 51 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 All right, how'd you get the gate open? 52 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Where you at, boy? 53 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000 I sent an oncoming carrot embargo. Nugget! 54 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000 I'm playing hide and seek with a horse. I need to get a life. 55 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Nugget, what are you doing back here? If you're looking for company, I am it. 56 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000 Wow. This place could use some work. 57 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000 I might have missed it all together if it hadn't been for Nugget. 58 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000 I couldn't believe my eyes. A Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Where did it come from? 59 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000 I didn't remember my grandfather ever owning one. How long had it been there? 60 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Nugget, this is weird. 61 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000 I thought it might be fun to ride around the ranch, but I needed money a lot more than I needed fun. 62 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Well, yes, we should sell it. 63 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000 I think we should fix it up. 64 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000 I called the local motorcycle shop and spoke with the owner, Danny Gaines, about getting parts for the old bike. 65 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000 I gave him the serial number and Gaines told me that he'd call back as soon as he found the parts. 66 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000 I thought that if I could clean up that bike and get it running, I might be able to sell it and use the money to pay off some of the bills. 67 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000 I didn't have to wait long for Danny Gaines to call back. 68 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Hello, Greg. It's Danny. Danny Gaines over here at Danny's Hog Heaven. 69 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Well, hi. That was quick. So do you have the parts? 70 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Well, see, the thing is, I couldn't get those exact parts. 71 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,000 So, um, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to take that whole bike off your hands for... fifteen hundred bucks. 72 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Fifteen hundred bucks? 73 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 It's a junker. You know, come on. 74 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 It's got to be worth at least three. 75 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Seventeen fifty. 76 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000 I wasn't prepared to give up the Harley that quickly. I wasn't sure what it was worth, but I thought that fifteen hundred dollars might be a little low. 77 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Gaines continued to up the ante until he hit ten thousand dollars. His final offer, he said, but something didn't feel right. 78 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Um, look, I think I want to think about it for a while. Yeah. 79 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 I called my mother and told her about the motorcycle and the ten thousand dollar offer. 80 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 It's so strange. 81 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000 And Nugget led you to it? 82 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Oh, why don't you hold off for a while? 83 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Remember that biker I rode cross country with? 84 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Yeah. Well, he owns a motorcycle shop. 85 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000 So if you give me that serial number, I'll run it by him. 86 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Five, three. Oh, uh, I don't have a pencil. Wait, wait. 87 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Uh, wait. 88 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,000 My mom's friend at the Valley Bike Shop checked out the serial number of the Harley. Later that same day, she received a very interesting conference call. 89 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000 A team of attorneys representing talk show host Jay Leno was interested in purchasing the vintage motorcycle. 90 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:17,000 The next day, I received a personal visit from somebody who never dropped by the ranch before. Not an all the time he lived nearby. 91 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000 This was getting real interesting. 92 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,000 Fred? Danny? Danny Gaines? Hey. How are ya? 93 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Boy, this is a hard place to wind. I'll tell you that. 94 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 I wasn't expecting you. 95 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000 It's hard to barge in on you, but this couldn't wait. So this is a bike, huh? 96 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Yep. 97 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000 It's in worse shape than I thought. Look, I'm gonna be real honest with ya. I got somebody interested in this old hog. 98 00:07:50,000 --> 00:08:00,000 I got him up to $15,000. That's about as high as he's gonna go. But it's a take it or leave it deal. And he needs to know right now. 99 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000 So here's the check. 100 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000 $15,000. 101 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Yeah. Well, if I were you, I'd grab it while the grabbing's good. 102 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Hey, hey, hey. Easy, boy. Easy. You alright? 103 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000 What's wrong? 104 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Probably something swooped her. 105 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Anyway, hold up. I gotta get the phone. Hold on. Wait a second. 106 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000 Why don't you just take the check and then I'll just reel this back on out of here. 107 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Just hold on a second. I'll be right back. Okay? 108 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000 If Nugget hadn't interrupted, I might have taken that check. But I'm sure glad I didn't. 109 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Hello? Oh, hi, Mom. 110 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000 You haven't sold that Harley yet, have ya? 111 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000 No, I didn't sell it yet. Why, you got an offer? 112 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Sure do. Are you sitting down? 113 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000 $2 million? Take it! 114 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000 I already did! 115 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Wait. Why would somebody pay that much money for this motorcycle? 116 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Oh, they told me to tell ya, be sure and look under the seat. 117 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Okay, thanks, Mom. 118 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Bye. 119 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000 Look under the seat. 120 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000 So what do you say, Bubba? 121 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,000 No thanks. I got a better offer. 122 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000 No thanks. I got a better offer. 123 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 To Priscilla, love Elvis. 124 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Legend has it that Elvis gave Priscilla a motorcycle that has disappeared over the years. 125 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Never to be recovered until now. That is, if our story is really true. 126 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:40,000 But did this story really happen? If so, how did the motorcycle mysteriously appear on Greg Hansen's property? 127 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000 And what stroke of fate allowed his horse to keep him from closing the deal at a lower price? 128 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Is this story of the legendary lost Harley the truth, or are we just recycling another lie? 129 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000 We'll tell you whether this story is true or false at the end of our show. But coming up next... 130 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:06,000 I'm telling ya, there's something wrong with that dog. Every time he howls, somebody in this building dies. 131 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 We're not saying that he's a cause of it. We just want him out of here. 132 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000 When we return, the howling of a dog is the premonition of death on the on belief, fact or fiction. 133 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000 If the average dog is man's best friend, then what accolades does a seeing eye dog deserve? 134 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000 These invaluable animals provide the eyes for those who cannot see. 135 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Within their staunch hearts lie the power to protect and guide their owners from harm. 136 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 But the dog in our next story seems to possess another kind of power. 137 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000 And protection from harm is nowhere in sight. 138 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000 The dog is a dog. 139 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Lloyd Weeks has been blind since birth. The most important thing in Lloyd's life is his dog, Buff. 140 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Not only are they close friends, but Buff has been his eyes for the past eight years. 141 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Hey, hey Lloyd, what's up? 142 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000 You're finally getting some painting done. 143 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Yeah, how do you know that? 144 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Hey, I may be blind, man, but I can still smell paint. 145 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000 Can you smell what color it is? 146 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Of course, whatever's on sale. 147 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Hey, hey Buff, how you doing, baby? 148 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000 He's the best. I don't know what I would do without him. 149 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Everyone in the building was fond of Lloyd and Buff until late one evening when the howling started. 150 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Lloyd, I'm going to get you out of here. 151 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Lloyd, I'm getting a lot of complaints. You're going to have to keep Buff quiet. 152 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000 My husband and I can't sleep with that dog howling like that. 153 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000 I know, I know, I'm very sorry, but I don't know what's gotten into him. 154 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000 See, he seems to be okay now. 155 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Something must have spoke to him. Look, cause this never happened before. 156 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 All right, all right Lloyd, all right. Good night. 157 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Just keep him quiet, will you? 158 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Good night, Rick. 159 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Early the next morning, Rick made a horrifying discovery. 160 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000 During the night, the tenant in apartment 1B hanged himself in his bathroom. 161 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000 The coroner's office estimated the time of death as around midnight. 162 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Exactly one hour after Lloyd's dog stopped howling. 163 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Five days later, Buff howled again and another tenant died. 164 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000 For the next two weeks, the building was quiet and then the howling started again. 165 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Rick, Rick, you gotta help me. 166 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000 It's Roy, I think it's his heart. 167 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Rick tried to revive Roy, but it was hopeless. 168 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000 He died of a massive heart attack. 169 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Exactly one hour after the howling had stopped. 170 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000 I'm telling you, there's something wrong with that dog. 171 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Every time he howls, somebody in this building dies. 172 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000 We're not saying that he's a cause of it. We just want him out of here. 173 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Lloyd would never let Buff go. The dog is his eyes. Would you give up your eyes? 174 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000 There's something wrong here. 175 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000 People are dying. 176 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000 If Roy won't get rid of that dog, then Lloyd goes too. 177 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000 He's blind. I can't evict a blind man. 178 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Then we're all leaving. Ain't that right? 179 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Look, the dog hasn't howled for a week. Why don't we give him one more chance? 180 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Maybe whatever it was, it's over. 181 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,000 And what if it isn't over? Who's gonna die next time? You, me, her, him, it? 182 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Which one of us? 183 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000 I'm truly sorry about all of this, but you won't have to worry about Buff and I anymore. 184 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000 Because we're moving out. 185 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000 The day Lloyd moved out, Rick felt guilt and anger at himself. 186 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000 But before Lloyd was out the door, Rick would feel terror. 187 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Bill, I feel really bad about this. Where are you gonna go? 188 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,000 Well, Buff and I are gonna visit my sister. She's always wanted me to come. Now it's time. 189 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000 What about the puzzle? 190 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:24,000 Well, you keep it. Because I'm coming back here one day and we're gonna finish that thing together. Okay? 191 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000 Look, here's my card. 192 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Call me if you need anything. 193 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000 Oh, buddy, you're not gonna start that again, are you? 194 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Rick couldn't help what he was feeling. 195 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,000 It's gonna be alright. 196 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Maybe Rick would be the next to die. 197 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000 I know. I love you too. It's gonna be alright. 198 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000 Rick was relieved to see Lloyd go. The last howling had frightened him. 199 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Hopefully the lottery of death was over, yet he couldn't lose the fear he felt inside. 200 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000 The following day, two police officers came to Rick's building. 201 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000 They informed him that a man was killed by a runaway truck. Rick's card was found in his pocket. 202 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000 He went down to the morgue and identified the body of Lloyd Weeks. It broke his heart. 203 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Lloyd and his dog Buff died exactly one hour after the howling stopped. 204 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000 And now it was clear who the final howling was meant for. 205 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000 Lloyd Weeks and his dog Buff. 206 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Did the dogs bark really signify oncoming death? 207 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Was Buff some kind of angel of death foretelling doom? 208 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Or was it mere coincidence that all those people died? 209 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000 And what about the death of Lloyd and Buff? 210 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000 How ironic that a blind man and his seeing eye dog would die this way. 211 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Why didn't Buff lead Lloyd to safety? 212 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Perhaps once Buff's bark foretold their oncoming doom, he was absolutely powerless to prevent it. 213 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000 What's your opinion? Are we telling you a true story of real substance, or are we just barking at the moon? 214 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000 We'll tell you whether this story is true or false at the end of our show, but coming up next. 215 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000 No, I plan on having me some venison for dinner. 216 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000 I don't know, trouble is all that games on that reservation land. Can't hunt there. 217 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000 That's who. 218 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000 What are you up to? 219 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000 I'm going with the deer and the aglo play. 220 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000 When we return, two hunters enter a world of terror and fear. On Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction. 221 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000 As a trophy, many hunters do. 222 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000 And without getting into a debate on the pros and cons of hunting, there is one thing we can all agree upon. 223 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000 The rules must be followed. 224 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000 When a hunter goes too far to satisfy his own bloodlust, then some line between nature and humanity is violated. 225 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000 Judd Fuller has no use for animals. He only wants them to satisfy his gross appetites. 226 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000 Before this day is through, he will learn every living thing comes with something you can never digest. 227 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000 The soul. 228 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,000 Judd and I had spent the last two days trying to bag ourselves a six point buck with our new high powered hunting bows. 229 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000 We had no luck and we were going home empty handed. 230 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000 I have nothing to say. 231 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000 I have nothing to say. 232 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000 And I'm just going to take a break. 233 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000 I'll talk to you when I get back. 234 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 I'm not going to be picking up the hat. That's what you said last week. 235 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000 We didn't buy these bows to impress the free. 236 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000 And I thought I'd have some benefits for dinner. 237 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000 I don't know. Trouble is all that game on that reservation. Can't hunt there. 238 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000 That's who. 239 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000 What are you up to? 240 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000 I'm going with the deer and the adelo play! 241 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000 He-he! 242 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000 He-he! 243 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Yeah! 244 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000 I'm telling you, Judd, we're making a big mistake. 245 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000 We're not supposed to be in here. 246 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000 This is Indian land. 247 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000 This is sanctified ground. 248 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000 I know, you already told me that. 249 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Hey, okay, I'm just-I'm just telling you, I've heard some weird stories about this place. 250 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000 Some peculiar things have happened up here. 251 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000 Would you just shut up? 252 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000 You're gonna scare all the deer away! 253 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000 I ain't the one yelling. 254 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Oh man, don't do that. 255 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Too late, I already did. 256 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Judd and I continued to wander deeper and deeper into the forest. 257 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Judd, wait a minute. 258 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000 Somebody's watching us. 259 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Nobody's watching us.
