1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,400
Tonight on Expedition Unknown, search for the afterlife.

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,800
My journey into the Amazon opens a portal to the spirit world.

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Iowa is very powerful and it can be dangerous.

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,000
It has killed people.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I want to see what it does.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Oh man.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Then, alongside America's most famous paranormal investigators,

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I explore one of the country's most haunted locations.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Will the ghosts of the Queen Mary prove the existence of the afterlife?

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
It's time for a final answer to the eternal question,

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
is there life after death?

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Oh!

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
It's insanity.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
My name is Josh Gates.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
What is that?

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I've traveled to more than 100 countries,

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
exploring the world's greatest legends,

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
and had a few close calls along the way.

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It's collapsing!

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
In my travels, I've seen a world of beliefs

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
about what happens to us when we die.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Now, I'm investigating the biggest mystery of all time.

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Life after death.

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Join me on a global hunt for answers.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
My God, there are bones everywhere!

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And an investigation to the other side.

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
This is Expedition Unknown, search for the afterlife.

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
What happens when we die?

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Our search for the answer to that simple question

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
has in many ways defined human history

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
and sent me on a journey to the heart of science and faith.

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
My quest began in Turkey at an ancient portal to hell

33
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
where I learned that the unknown is a powerful force

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
in shaping mankind's beliefs about the other side.

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
You take the mask off, you will die.

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I flew to New York where a physician is conducting

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
a scientific study to learn what happens

38
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
after we flat-line.

39
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
The entity we call the human mind and consciousness

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
does not become annihilated when a person's gone

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
beyond the threshold of death.

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Whoa!

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
On the banks of India's holy Ganges,

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I was invited to participate in a sacred cremation ritual

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
designed to release the soul.

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And in Russia, explored how man and machine

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
are racing together toward immortality.

48
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
There are 59 people in these tanks?

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
I went to the mountains of Indonesia

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
where body and spirit remain locked together after death.

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
These are your parents?

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Yes.

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
And escorted the casket of a village elder

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
to a riotous final farewell.

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
To hell with the funeral!

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Now I've arrived in the rainforests of the Amazon

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
to navigate upriver to a village where Ketua Shamans

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
administer a hallucinogenic brew known as Yaga,

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
or ayahuasca, which is said to allow the user

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
to experience their own death and to connect with the afterlife.

61
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I want to be clear about something really clear.

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
This is not an endorsement of drugs.

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I don't do drugs.

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Ayahuasca is very powerful and it can be dangerous.

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
It has killed people.

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
But the people of the Amazon, this isn't a drug.

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
This is a medicine that awakens the soul.

68
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
And while I'm scared, if I'm being honest,

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I want to see what it does.

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
For thousands of years, it has believed

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
the civilizations of the ancient Americas

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
harness the psychedelic powers of various jungle plants

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
to help commune with the other side.

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
The question is, who or what were they connecting with?

75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
I honestly do not know what to expect.

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I know that it can be very intense.

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
It can be very personal.

78
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
It can be very beautiful.

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
And I've heard it can also be very terrifying.

80
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
So I've actually sent our entire crew home

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
with the exception of Evan here,

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
my old friend and trusted cameraman

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
who I have faith in to document this experience.

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So don't let me down.

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I got you, Josh. Don't worry.

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Alright.

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Evan may be handier than usual.

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Many users are confronted with terrifying visions

89
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
where, hopefully, everyone experiences what is known as the purge,

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
in which they become physically ill.

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Here's what I really don't want.

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I really don't want to **** myself on television.

93
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
That's like, nobody wants that.

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
That's on nobody's bucket list.

95
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
The thing with stuff like this is, you can't get off the ride.

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
You know what I mean?

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Like, once you're strapped in, you're strapped in.

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
And so, I don't know what to expect.

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Around one last bend in the river,

100
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
the boat approaches a muddy break in the trees.

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
I come ashore and walk inland,

102
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
where I'm supposed to meet my translator and facilitator,

103
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
a man named Enrique.

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Enrique.

105
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Josh, nice to meet you.

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Welcome to La Luna and the magical world of the Chauhnaan.

107
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Thank you so much. Happy to be here.

108
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
So, ayahuasca.

109
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It's powerful, very powerful.

110
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Yeah.

111
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
And you're going to go beyond mind and physical matter.

112
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
When you drink ayahuasca, it's called the wine of the dead spirit.

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Death and rebirth is a very common experience.

114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Physically, what might happen to me?

115
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It is a purgative medicine. It's cleansing.

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
You might experience diarrhea.

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
You might experience vomiting.

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Yawning is a common form of purging.

119
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Yawning definitely sounds like the best deal of those things.

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
You cleanse your mind, your body and your spirit.

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Okay. I'm in your hands. Let's go.

122
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000
The shamans insist that I need to participate in every aspect of the ceremony,

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
which includes gathering the multiple ingredients for the brew,

124
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
each of which is required for the medicine to work safely.

125
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
This is Josh.

126
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Enrique introduces me to his friend Jorge,

127
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
who brings us into the jungle,

128
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
where we eventually arrive at a seemingly anonymous plant.

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Hiding among the other foliage.

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
This one.

131
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
These are the leaves of chakruna.

132
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
So this is the one. This is chakruna.

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Meet psychotria viridis, also known as the chakruna shrub.

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
It's a potent source of dimethyltryptamine, or DMT,

135
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
the world's most powerful psychedelic,

136
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
which has been called the spirit molecule.

137
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
The thing that's so wild when you can drink it,

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
is that it's a very powerful,

139
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
very strong psychedelic, which has been called the spirit molecule.

140
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
The thing that's so wild when you come in here is like, there's so much life.

141
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
How did anybody ever figure out that it was this one?

142
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
According to the shamans, you know, since they're so connected to all the plants

143
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
and to the spirit world, the spirit of the plants told the shamans

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
which two plants to brew together.

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Because there's stuff in here that will kill you.

146
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
If you will have the wrong leaves, it might be fatal.

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Wow.

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
But if the leaves of chakruna are cooked and consumed,

149
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
what will happen?

150
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
That's because our stomachs contain a safeguard,

151
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
an enzyme that breaks down the DMT.

152
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
That's where the ayahuasca comes in.

153
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
These vines are like a molecular computer hack.

154
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
They inhibit the digestive system from breaking down the DMT

155
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
and facilitate a trip like no other.

156
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
The ingredients are spread into the cauldron,

157
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
and the mixture will boil and concentrate all day long

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
until it's being distilled at sunset.

159
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Once night falls over the jungle,

160
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Enrique brings me to meet the shamans,

161
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
who will guide me through the ayahuasca journey.

162
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
These are masters who have received the knowledge of centuries

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
from their ancestors.

164
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
So the shamans would like to know a little bit

165
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
why you are here, what's your intentions,

166
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
and what do you hope to get out from the ayahuasca?

167
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
You know, I turned 40 years old,

168
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
and I'm at a point in my life where I want to understand

169
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
what happens after this life.

170
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
I know very well that ayahuasca

171
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
will show you a new path.

172
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Then it's time.

173
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Salute. Salute, master.

174
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Salute. Salute.

175
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Salute.

176
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
In the remote Peruvian retreat of La Luna del Amazonas,

177
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I'm being handed a cup of ayahuasca,

178
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
the most powerful psychedelic in the world,

179
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
which according to the shamans here,

180
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
can offer me a vision of my own death and afterlife.

181
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Salute. Salute, master.

182
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Salute.

183
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
The taste is hard to describe,

184
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
but deeply unpleasant,

185
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
like something from under the kitchen sink

186
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
that I definitely shouldn't be drinking.

187
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
The shamans drink at every ceremony as well,

188
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
guiding users through the journey

189
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
of being along for the ride.

190
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
So it's only been about 10 minutes.

191
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
The first thing I notice is that my...

192
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
my eyes feel weird,

193
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
kind of like a tightness.

194
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
I definitely don't feel good in my stomach.

195
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
The shamans chant a prayer.

196
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
After an hour, I begin to see

197
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
pinpricks of light on the ceiling,

198
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
followed by beautiful geometric patterns

199
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
that begin to turn in a kaleidoscope of colors.

200
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Soon, I'm no longer in this hut.

201
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
I'm not even on this planet.

202
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Ayahuasca is taking me to a spirit realm,

203
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
one that I can barely comprehend.

204
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
I'm not even in this hut.

205
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I'm not even in this hut.

206
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
The look on my face is a combination of joy and terror,

207
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
which is exactly right.

208
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
It's insanity.

209
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
It's like the most beautiful thing,

210
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
and overwhelming and horrible thing all at once.

211
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
I have no way to describe it.

212
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Oh, my God.

213
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Oh, man.

214
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Okay, bye-bye.

215
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Thank you.

216
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
After a while, the purgative properties

217
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
of the Ayahuasca take hold.

218
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000
This continues for eight hours, or for eternity.

219
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
I'm not precisely sure which.

220
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
I'm not exactly sure which.

221
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
I just felt like an endless night.

222
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
I feel like I've been gone for years.

223
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
It was very hard to hang on

224
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
and not just get spun out into the void.

225
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
A lot of imagery that was really intense.

226
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Snakes, birds, ancient people, colors, so much color.

227
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000
All of the imagery was natural, was beautiful.

228
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
It was beautiful.

229
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
All of the imagery was natural, was beautiful.

230
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
It was profound.

231
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
It was very terrifying.

232
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
It was all those things, all at once sometimes.

233
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
But it was bigger than me.

234
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
It was much bigger than me.

235
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
I saw death.

236
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I saw the dead.

237
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
I saw people who had passed away.

238
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
I saw my grandfather.

239
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000
But I didn't see them like ghosts, like a consciousness.

240
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
It was just an after-image.

241
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
It was like everything that's here will go away

242
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
and it will go into this big blender and be reused.

243
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
I don't think I'll ever do it again.

244
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
That's it.

245
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
What I experienced in Peru is the distillation of centuries of Amazonian lore.

246
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
The ayahuasca allowed the ancient people here,

247
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
and for a brief time, me, to touch a hidden universe.

248
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
It was the most religious experience of my life.

249
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
But there are other cultures who strive to find enlightenment

250
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
without the accompaniment of any medicine.

251
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
They seek to discover the secrets of the afterlife

252
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
through a meditative journey into themselves.

253
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
I'm talking, of course, about Buddhism.

254
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
To experience how 10% of the world's population views the afterlife,

255
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I'm headed to the Indonesian island of Java.

256
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
This is the temple of Borobudur.

257
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
It was built over a thousand years ago

258
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
and consists of nine stepped platforms

259
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
that rise up more than 100 feet to a central dome.

260
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
This place is longer than a football field and more than twice as wide,

261
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
making it the largest Buddhist temple on Earth.

262
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
So I haven't actually come to Borobudur on just any old day.

263
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
I'm here for a birthday party,

264
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
and the guest of honor is none other than the Buddha himself.

265
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Though it's one of the world's biggest birthday parties,

266
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
this holiday, known as Vesak, is about more than the Buddha's birth.

267
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,000
It commemorates his death as well,

268
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
because in Buddhism,

269
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
death and birth are the same,

270
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
to be equally anticipated and celebrated.

271
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
As the sun sets, tens of thousands of Buddhists meditate

272
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
and renew their vows of faith

273
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
before marching around Borobudur in a ritual called Pradaxena.

274
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Followers circle the temple three times

275
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
in a symbolic journey through the temple.

276
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
The temple is the temple of the Buddha.

277
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
We circle the temple three times in a symbolic journey through the Buddhist cosmos.

278
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
We start here in the human world, what's known as the world of desires,

279
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
and then as we go around, we enter what's known as the world of forms,

280
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
and finally, the world of formlessness.

281
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Full Buddhas who have achieved enlightenment

282
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000
experience reality at its purest, the formless essence of nirvana.

283
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
This is the hope of the Buddhist afterlife,

284
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
free from worldly desires and suffering.

285
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
The cycle of death and reincarnation resolved

286
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
as you become one with the universe.

287
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
The Vesak Festival ends with an incredible spectacle.

288
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Thousands of people light thousands of these lanterns

289
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
and release them into the night sky.

290
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
The lanterns which symbolize the light of Buddha's wisdom soar into the air.

291
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
There, playing out above our heads is a vision of nirvana.

292
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
If you want to find the Buddhist afterlife,

293
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
it's right there inside those flickering lanterns,

294
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
headed off toward the moon, the stars, and the infinite universe.

295
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000
The lanterns which symbolize the light of Buddha's wisdom soar into the air.

296
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
There, playing out above our heads is a vision of nirvana.

297
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
The Buddha's infinite universe.

298
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
The Buddhist creed above all things is to let go.

299
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Let go of possessions, attachments, and the fear of death.

300
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
But what if you die and you still can't let go?

301
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
There's a name we've given to spirits that remain on Earth.

302
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
We call them ghosts.

303
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Now, to find evidence of their existence,

304
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I'm about to meet three of the country's preeminent paranormal investigators

305
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
in one of the most notoriously haunted places on Earth.

306
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,000
The Queen Mary

307
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
The Queen Mary

308
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
The Queen Mary

309
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
The Queen Mary

310
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
My search for the afterlife has turned to the subject of ghosts

311
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
and brought me to one of the most infamously haunted locations in the world,

312
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

313
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
The recent year's paranormal investigation, using modern technology to find evidence of ghosts,

314
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
has become a phenomenon.

315
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And as it happens, I know three of the most seasoned investigators in the world.

316
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Grant Wilson, Amy Bruni, and Adam Berry have decades of experience

317
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
investigating some of the scariest places on Earth.

318
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Now, they want to show me why they believe evidence of the afterlife

319
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
is there for anyone who wants to look.

320
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Hello.

321
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Hey!

322
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
How are you, man? Good to see you.

323
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Hi.

324
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,000
How you doing?

325
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Good to see you.

326
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,000
What's going on, man?

327
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I haven't seen you guys in years.

328
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Yeah, in years too.

329
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
At least two years.

330
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Too long, man. Too long.

331
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
You know, we're... I'm doing this special in the afterlife.

332
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
And I really felt like, you know, we can't do that

333
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,000
without talking about the current modern state of paranormal investigation.

334
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Sure, it's a huge influence right now.

335
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
It's a huge thing, and all of you are a big part of that world.

336
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Thank you.

337
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
So why here? Why the Queen Mary?

338
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
I mean, really, this is reported to be one of the most haunted places in the United States.

339
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
And that has been our experience, time and time again, being here.

340
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
You've investigated here.

341
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Oh, yeah.

342
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
And it's been active every time for us.

343
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,000
So a good choice.

344
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Yeah, yeah.

345
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,000
And why? Why is it so haunted?

346
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Well, I mean, in the 30s, this was built as a luxury cruise liner.

347
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
But then it was taken over in World War II and painted gray,

348
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
and known as the Great Ghost, and used for military operations to transport troops,

349
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
POWs, you name it.

350
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
It was involved in a number of incidents where people died on board.

351
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
It was involved in an accident where people died on the other ships.

352
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
So there's a lot of history here that would lead to a haunting.

353
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
So in terms of a game plan for tonight, what do you think? What's our move?

354
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
I mean, we brought a ton of equipment that we can use.

355
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
There are spots that we definitely want to hit that we know we've had activity before.

356
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
And as an investigation goes, we may find places we've never been,

357
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
and we want to tackle that as well.

358
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Great. Should we get into it?

359
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Yeah, let's do it, Dad.

360
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Let's go.

361
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Let's go.

362
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Come on.

363
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Soon, the sun sets, and we head below decks to investigate.

364
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Our plan tonight is to focus on the areas with the most reported paranormal activity,

365
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
starting with one of the largest spaces on board, the Queen's Salon.

366
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Look at this place.

367
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Yeah, I love this room.

368
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
It's like stepping back in time.

369
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Incredible.

370
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Yeah.

371
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Wow.

372
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
So what's the story here?

373
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
I mean, supposedly they see a woman in white who dances in this room by herself.

374
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,000
No music playing, and she's been seen on a number of occasions.

375
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Because this is a visual claim, we want to use things that are going to capture a visual anomaly.

376
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Exactly.

377
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Totally.

378
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
I see you've got all sorts of weird stuff.

379
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Well, I brought an SLS camera, which stands for Structured Light Sensor,

380
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,000
basically using Xbox technology and turning it on the world.

381
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000
So instead of it mapping a real person, it's going to hopefully map an image of someone that we can't see.

382
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Okay, let's fire this thing up.

383
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000
I want to see this thing work.

384
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Okay.

385
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:10,000
They set up the sensor array, which projects thousands of pinpricks of infrared light in order to capture visual anomalies.

386
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,000
The investigators also use a series of flashlights with their batteries barely disconnected.

387
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000
They theorize that ghosts manifest as energy and can complete the circuit to activate the light.

388
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,000
The idea is that the lights can be used to communicate with the spirits,

389
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
and it certainly appears that something in here is anxious to talk.

390
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Okay, that flashlight just lit up.

391
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,000
So if you just turn that flashlight on, we just need to turn it back off.

392
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
And it's off.

393
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
It's off.

394
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Can you turn on one of the other flashlights so we know that it was you?

395
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Once we know that you can do this, this is a way for us to talk to you.

396
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,000
There we go.

397
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,000
That's exactly right.

398
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Good job.

399
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Nice work.

400
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
All right, can you turn that one off for me?

401
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Just twist it back the other way.

402
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000
All right.

403
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Get out of here.

404
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Every time you ask it to turn on and off, it's turning on and off.

405
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Finally, can you just turn on the middle flashlight?

406
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I just want to make sure you can turn on all the flashlights.

407
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
If the middle flashlight turns on, I'm going to my car.

408
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Nothing on this yet.

409
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
That middle flashlight will not turn on.

410
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
I'm going to try going up here.

411
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000
All right.

412
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Okay.

413
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Can you see me on there?

414
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Yes.

415
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Okay.

416
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000
I'm going to sit here on the edge of the stage.

417
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000
And if anybody's here, I'm just going to hang out here next to these flashlights.

418
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
We're hoping to have you turn on this middle flashlight here.

419
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,000
So are you the woman in white that has been seen in this room?

420
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
What is that?

421
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
What are you seeing?

422
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000
So are you the woman in white that has been seen in this room?

423
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
What is that?

424
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
What are you seeing?

425
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
What is that?

426
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
What are you seeing?

427
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
There's a stick figure literally reaching up.

428
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
What are you talking about?

429
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
So right here there's a figure right in front of the flashlights.

430
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
It's not me.

431
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
It's to the right of you, but reaching over towards the flashlights.

432
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
No, it is in front of the flashlights.

433
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Reaching very oddly.

434
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Almost like if it's crouching and reaching.

435
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Oh, it's gone.

436
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Josh, you probably don't want to see what we saw.

437
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Now it maps you again.

438
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
So what was it picking up?

439
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000
We don't...

440
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Your guess is as good as mine.

441
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
The technology was picking you up.

442
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Then suddenly there was something else that registered more clearly to drop you and pick this other thing up.

443
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
We don't understand what's on.

444
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Hey, it's on.

445
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Third, yes.

446
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
It'll light it's on.

447
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Okay, we got it.

448
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
We got all three.

449
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
We got all three.

450
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000
All right.

451
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Good job.

452
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
So not only did it show up on this camera, but the third light came on.

453
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Yeah.

454
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
The activity is maddening.

455
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,000
It's absolutely bizarre, but unfortunately not definitive proof.

456
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
We continue in the salon until the flashlights all go dark.

457
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Then decide to move on to the forward compartment of the Queen Mary.

458
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:21,000
This is literally the bow of the ship.

459
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Look at that.

460
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
So what do we know about this part of the ship or what do we think we know?

461
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
This was an area used to house POWs.

462
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Supposedly there were a few incidents where people were crushed, killed, injured in this room.

463
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Wow.

464
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
All right, so a plan of attack in here, what do you think?

465
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Let's just talk to see if we get any interaction.

466
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Let's do an EVP session, see if anything talks back.

467
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Okay, great.

468
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
If it does, we can escalate from there.

469
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Exactly.

470
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Sure.

471
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
We want to speak respectfully and we got to keep it general.

472
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Okay, let's start the EVP.

473
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
See if we can.

474
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
EVP stands for electronic voice phenomena.

475
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,000
With a voice recorder running, the paranormal investigators ask questions for the spirits to answer.

476
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:09,000
When the recording is played back and amplified, replies that were barely audible may be heard clearly.

477
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
An EVP.

478
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:21,000
So whoever is in here with us, who was here before we got here, we're sorry if we're invading your space,

479
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:28,000
but we wanted to come up here and see if you needed anything.

480
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Why are you in this room?

481
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:44,000
We're not here to judge you, we just want to get to know you.

482
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Do you feel like you were treated fairly here?

483
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Do you have any more questions?

484
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
That's fine for now.

485
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
But here we'll listen to this and see.

486
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Do you need some help, Jimmy?

487
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Why are you in this room?

488
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Stuck?

489
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Oh, it does sound like it says stuck.

490
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Why are you in this room?

491
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Stuck.

492
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Stuck.

493
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Oh, it says stuck.

494
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
My arm is getting chills.

495
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
I'm going to go get this out of here.

496
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Help me.

497
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
You guys, it says help me.

498
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
It absolutely says help me.

499
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Okay, do that one more time.

500
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
I don't want to.

501
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I'm going to judge you.

502
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
I just want to get to know you.

503
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Help me.

504
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
It's very simple.

505
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
It's so clear, like they were like help me.

506
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
That is literally saying help me.

507
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Yeah.

508
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000
You know, if we feel like we may have reached somebody here,

509
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
I mean, we can kick it up another notch.

510
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Do you want to like kind of...

511
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
What in the f*** is that?

512
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,000
What was that?

513
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,000
You want to drop something?

514
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,000
You guys, what is that?

515
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Shh.

516
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Okay, so we've investigated up here a few times.

517
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
We've never heard that sound.

518
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I mean, the problem is there's like eight decks beneath us.

519
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Yeah.

520
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Three decks above us.

521
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
I mean, who knows where that came from.

522
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
The ship is huge.

523
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
I mean, maybe it's time to split up.

524
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I'd love to check out what's below us.

525
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,000
You want to come with me?

526
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000
We'll go downstairs?

527
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Sure.

528
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Great.

529
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,000
We'll grab some more gear.

530
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
All right.

531
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Pause him.

532
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
So far, we've gotten a lot of unusual activity,

533
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
but we've barely scratched the surface.

534
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
To cover more of the massive ship, we split up.

535
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Amy and Adam will go upstairs to the bridge,

536
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
where there are reports of the ghost of the ship's second officer.

537
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
While Grant and I will go down into the lower levels.

538
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000
This area has come to fascinate me more than any other.

539
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,000
This is the last intact propeller on the Queen Mary.

540
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
And the really, the really amazing thing about this place

541
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
is that there are these paranormal reports.

542
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Yes.

543
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
That people have issued time and again

544
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
that they claim to hear the sound of the propeller turning.

545
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
They claim to hear the sound of the anchor being dropped into the sea.

546
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
And of course, this ship was involved in this horrendous accident.

547
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Right?

548
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000
And the ship was in the middle of the ocean.

549
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
And of course, this ship was involved in this horrendous accident.

550
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Right?

551
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Yes.

552
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
So when it was crossing the Atlantic,

553
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
it actually slammed into its escort ship,

554
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
this vessel called the Kurosawa.

555
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000
On October 9th, 1942, the British cruiser HMS Kurosawa

556
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
was in a convoy with the Queen Mary.

557
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Trying to avoid German U-boats,

558
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
the Queen Mary slammed into the Kurosawa's side,

559
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
slicing it in half.

560
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
And 37 men died in the tragic accident.

561
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Hundreds of men went in the water

562
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
and they were effectively chewed up by these propellers

563
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
and run over by the boat.

564
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
And people claimed that they hear the sounds of men

565
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
thrashing, drowning, panic, exactly in the water.

566
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Paranormal investigators theorize that violent traumas

567
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
can cause imprints of electromagnetic energy

568
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
on the sites where they occur.

569
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
The result is a so-called residual haunting.

570
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
An audio or visual echo of the event

571
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
that plays like a broken record over and over.

572
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
For as intriguing as these reports are,

573
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
it's never really been fully investigated.

574
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,000
That's what I want to try to do.

575
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
No way. You're going to get in the water.

576
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
I want to go in there.

577
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
That's awesome.

578
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,000
I want to go in there.

579
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
We can drop a hydrophone in the water.

580
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
We can get audio equipment down there that can record up here,

581
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
that can get up here to where you are.

582
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
We can see if we can verify any of those accounts.

583
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
So you'll be the first guy to do this.

584
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
They're going to let us do it.

585
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
That's awesome. Let's do it.

586
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
My cameraman Evan and I suit up for an underwater ghost hunt.

587
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
An investigation like this has never been attempted

588
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
at the Queen Mary.

589
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
We're about to dive into the pitch black waters

590
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
beneath this massive ocean liner.

591
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Grant opens the hatch and we climb down into the unknown.

592
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Those colors are absolutely massive.

593
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
It's just you.

594
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
You're so much bigger than it looks from the surface.

595
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Can you imagine being one of those guys

596
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
falling in the water and that thing spinning?

597
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Absolutely not. It's terrifying.

598
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
I'm going to turn that light off so you can hear her out.

599
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Can you hear that one hand down here?

600
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,000
You can hear the whole two of the three obliques and the whole other.

601
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Copy that.

602
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Are you making noises out there right now?

603
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I am not. I'm standing completely still.

604
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Everyone is.

605
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
I'm not picking up anything on the hydrophone.

606
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
This room was a bit silent when we came in here.

607
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
I just sounded with hearing extremely constant.

608
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I had no idea.

609
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
One fucking minute remaining.

610
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Alright, I'm going to listen a little closer to the hydrophone.

611
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I have no idea what's going on down here as well.

612
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
I'm not going to listen to that.

613
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
On tonight's show we're hunting for ghosts,

614
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
but I've spent many nights investigating after dark.

615
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Here are just some of the things that have gone bump in the night.

616
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Oh, over here.

617
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Something's moving right there though.

618
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look. Right there.

619
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Oh, I got a light. I got a light. Guys, come here.

620
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Seriously, bring the camera. Come here.

621
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
What the hell is that?

622
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Let's see what's inside of this thing, good lord.

623
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Hey!

624
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Crap, cat. Come on.

625
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,000
I'm diving in the black waters below the legendary Queen Mary,

626
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
a few feet from the ship's massive propeller.

627
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,000
For years, people topside have claimed to hear the sound of the long dead blades turning.

628
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Something that should be impossible.

629
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Are you making noise or something right now?

630
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
I am not. I'm standing completely still.

631
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
I'm standing completely still.

632
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
I'm standing completely still.

633
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
I'm standing completely still.

634
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,000
I am not. I'm standing completely still.

635
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Everyone is.

636
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Alright, I'm going to listen a little closer to the IDR phone.

637
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000
There's no signal coming from the other side.

638
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Not only no signal coming from the other side.

639
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Whatever noise we heard is stopped.

640
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
We're going to stay a while longer to see if we hear it or not.

641
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
We're going to have to stop.

642
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Alright, I'll open the hatch.

643
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,000
I stay under the surface to listen for any more anomalies.

644
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
As my air runs low, the sun begins to rise.

645
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
We call Amy and Adam on the bridge and then call it a night.

646
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000
For these three investigators, this kind of paranormal evidence is par for a very weird course.

647
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
In my brief time on the Queen Mary, we captured audio hits.

648
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
That is literally saying help me.

649
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
A phantom engine.

650
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,000
And a sensor reading that defies explanation.

651
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
What is that?

652
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
What are you seeing?

653
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,000
But does it constitute proof of life after death?

654
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000
To millions of believers, the answer is probably yes.

655
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
But it still feels like just that.

656
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Belief, scientific proof, requires repeatable results and a controlled environment.

657
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
And ghosts don't seem to be very cooperative.

658
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
So for paranormal seekers around the world,

659
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
the hunt continues.

660
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Here we are.

661
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Right back where we started.

662
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000
This has been a long and winding journey.

663
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000
And in the end, none of us knows for sure what happens when we pass.

664
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Trying to solve the mystery I've traveled around the world,

665
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:03,000
visited with dedicated scientists and confronted the echoes of history.

666
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
That's the secret of the cave.

667
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I've walked on holy ground in India and glimpsed eternity with the shamans of South America.

668
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
It was bigger than me.

669
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
It was much bigger than me.

670
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,000
I've heard pleas for help from those who believe themselves possessed by spirits

671
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,000
and receive tidings of peace from a remarkable group of survivors.

672
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Love.

673
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
That's all there is.

674
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,000
I've seen the signs of the world.

675
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,000
That's all there is.

676
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
I've seen the souls of the past preserved through generations of tradition

677
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,000
and the promise of the future in our first steps toward immortality.

678
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Are you convinced that these people will live again?

679
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,000
I hope.

680
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:54,000
In my searching, I've discovered that our afterlives are as varied and colorful as each individual.

681
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000
And in many ways, just as unknowable.

682
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000
But one thing is now crystal clear to me.

683
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000
We take our knowledge and our faith from those who came before us.

684
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
We are the afterlife of our ancestors.

685
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:16,000
And by that same token, our families and our children are the lives that come after us.

686
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
They are the true evidence of the afterlife.

687
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
And we can all take comfort in that.

688
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And when I die

689
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:40,000
And when I'm dead and gone

690
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
There'll be one chance

691
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
That I'll be able to see you again

692
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,000
And when I die

693
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:03,000
There'll be one child born

694
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000
In a world to carry on

695
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,000
To carry on, yeah, yeah
