00:00:00,462 --> 00:00:17,818
This series presents information based in part on theory and conjecture.

2
00:00:17,818 --> 00:00:22,337
The producer's purpose is to suggest some possible explanations but not necessarily

3
00:00:22,337 --> 00:00:26,056
the only ones to the mysteries we will examine.

4
00:00:27,056 --> 00:00:32,055
A recent motion picture has mystified and frightened thousands of moviegoers.

5
00:00:34,054 --> 00:00:38,054
Most people think the Amityville horror is a good scary ghost story.

6
00:00:57,049 --> 00:01:06,047
What is not commonly known is that the film is actually based on fact.

7
00:01:06,047 --> 00:01:08,047
It's a true story.

8
00:01:20,044 --> 00:01:24,043
Was there an evil presence living inside this house?

9
00:01:27,043 --> 00:01:39,040
The house of horrors is in Amityville Long Island, an unlikely target for an evil curse.

10
00:01:42,039 --> 00:01:45,038
Amityville is a pleasant New York suburb.

11
00:01:47,038 --> 00:01:51,037
The name Amityville means town of friendship.

12
00:01:52,037 --> 00:02:01,035
The house that was for sale at 112 Ocean Avenue was a dream turned into reality for the family of George and Kathy Lutz.

13
00:02:01,035 --> 00:02:06,034
I described the house as charming the first time I saw it because that's what I thought of it.

14
00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:09,033
You know, I was saying, Kathy, do you believe this?

15
00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:12,032
And she said, no, I don't believe this.

16
00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:16,031
It's a lovely house. We don't feel as anything wrong with the house.

17
00:02:16,031 --> 00:02:21,030
It's a happy house. It's a house to have a good time and to have parties.

18
00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:30,028
Everyone in the area knew that the year before a family of six had been murdered here, so no one wanted to buy the house.

19
00:02:30,028 --> 00:02:37,027
The price was very reasonable. George and Kathy decided to ignore superstition and buy it.

20
00:02:38,027 --> 00:02:42,026
They settled into their new home just before Christmas.

21
00:02:42,026 --> 00:02:49,024
As is common with many Catholic families, Mrs. Lutz asked her parish priest to stop by and bless the house.

22
00:02:49,024 --> 00:02:58,022
This blessing began in the sewing room and seemed to set off a chain reaction which would jeopardize the lives of everyone involved.

23
00:02:58,022 --> 00:03:02,021
Because of criticism later leveled by other church officials,

24
00:03:02,021 --> 00:03:06,020
the priest has never before talked to anyone in the media.

25
00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:14,018
In search of was able to locate him and he agreed to tell us his story, but only if he could remain anonymous.

26
00:03:14,018 --> 00:03:22,017
I was blessing the sewing room. It was cold. It was really cold in there.

27
00:03:22,017 --> 00:03:27,016
And I thought, gee, this is peculiar because it was a lovely day out.

28
00:03:27,016 --> 00:03:32,014
And it was winter, yes, but it didn't account for that kind of coldness.

29
00:03:32,014 --> 00:03:35,014
I also sprinkling holy water.

30
00:03:35,014 --> 00:03:41,012
And I heard a rather deep voice behind me say, get out.

31
00:03:41,012 --> 00:03:45,011
It seemed so directed toward me that I was really quite starving.

32
00:03:45,011 --> 00:03:50,010
I felt a slap at one point on the face.

33
00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:54,009
I felt somebody slap me and there was no doubt.

34
00:03:54,009 --> 00:04:01,008
Later, George and Kathy couldn't believe that flies could be swarming in the dead of winter.

35
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:14,005
Then they puzzled over a toilet that when flushed, these and other events began to unnerve them.

36
00:04:14,005 --> 00:04:20,004
Strange events also affected the priest who blessed the house.

37
00:04:20,004 --> 00:04:24,003
He discovered blisters were festering on his hands.

38
00:04:24,003 --> 00:04:28,002
I went to the doctor for it, yes, and he couldn't explain it.

39
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:34,000
He thought it might be caused by anxiety and of course that's so strange.

40
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I was so surprised.

41
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I was so surprised.

42
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,999
I went to the doctor for it, yes, and he couldn't explain it.

43
00:04:41,999 --> 00:04:46,997
He thought it might be caused by anxiety and of course that's feasible.

44
00:04:46,997 --> 00:04:51,996
But I don't think I'm given over to psychosomatic responses.

45
00:04:53,996 --> 00:04:57,995
He called the Lutzes to warn George and Kathy.

46
00:04:57,995 --> 00:05:10,572
No, he's interference prevented any communication.

47
00:05:10,572 --> 00:05:23,509
He could never get through.

48
00:05:23,509 --> 00:05:27,428
Unexplained phenomena in the house increased.

49
00:05:27,428 --> 00:05:31,747
Each one had its own personality.

50
00:05:31,747 --> 00:05:37,826
In time you couldn't deny that something was very wrong because too many things didn't add up.

51
00:05:37,826 --> 00:05:42,145
Frightening spirits seemed to inhabit the whole house.

52
00:05:42,145 --> 00:05:45,104
Kathy felt compelled to talk to the priest.

53
00:05:45,104 --> 00:05:48,544
She wanted him to come back and bless the house again.

54
00:05:48,544 --> 00:05:52,543
Further attempts to communicate with the priest, however, seemed to be sabotaged.

55
00:05:52,543 --> 00:05:55,502
Father, are you there?

56
00:05:55,502 --> 00:05:57,502
Hello? Hello?

57
00:05:57,502 --> 00:06:03,500
A faulty phone connection? Perhaps.

58
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:08,619
For almost a month, George Lutz was attacked by a sensation of intense cold.

59
00:06:08,619 --> 00:06:17,017
For days on end, he would neglect his work and his appearance, constantly stoking a fire that never warmed him enough.

60
00:06:17,017 --> 00:06:22,056
His personality began to come apart, bringing emotional surges.

61
00:06:22,056 --> 00:06:30,294
Confusion, anger, anger misplaced because I was directed at Kathy for no reason.

62
00:06:30,294 --> 00:06:37,093
Moodyness, I lost 20-25 pounds there easily during that 28 days.

63
00:06:37,093 --> 00:06:41,092
I didn't eat, I didn't go to the office.

64
00:06:41,092 --> 00:06:47,090
My values were such that the only thing important was to keep warm and keep the fire going.

65
00:06:47,170 --> 00:06:53,169
Everything was very erratic. Our own behavior was erratic.

66
00:06:53,169 --> 00:06:59,168
George still believed he could take things in hand and cope with the unknown horror.

67
00:06:59,168 --> 00:07:03,167
As I do know when I met George in the first place,

68
00:07:03,167 --> 00:07:07,166
J. Anson is author of the book, The Amityville Horror.

69
00:07:07,166 --> 00:07:15,164
He's an ex-marine built like a bull and he's the type of guy who can handle any situation with his fists.

70
00:07:15,244 --> 00:07:17,244
He was a man who never really can.

71
00:07:17,244 --> 00:07:24,242
So that when he was approached with this kind of phenomena, he had no idea what he was coping with.

72
00:07:24,242 --> 00:07:29,241
None at all. He didn't even know the meaning of the terms in phenomena.

73
00:07:29,321 --> 00:07:35,320
A new problem plagued the Lutzes.

74
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:45,317
The son of the previous owners had shot six members of his family while they slept in this very house.

75
00:07:45,317 --> 00:07:49,316
George and Kathy were in the house.

76
00:07:49,316 --> 00:07:53,316
They were in the house.

77
00:07:53,396 --> 00:08:03,393
George and Kathy now were experiencing vivid nightmares in which they relived the murders as though they were the victims.

78
00:08:09,392 --> 00:08:14,391
Difficult as it was, the family tried to maintain a normal existence.

79
00:08:14,391 --> 00:08:20,389
But each day, something else, strange and frightening, would be discovered.

80
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:27,468
On one particular afternoon, I was going about the house rearranging furniture and setting up some storage.

81
00:08:27,468 --> 00:08:32,467
I went down to the basement and went over to one bookcase, which was on the end.

82
00:08:32,467 --> 00:08:37,466
And they moved it much to my surprise. There wasn't a wall behind it.

83
00:08:37,466 --> 00:08:43,464
It was the entrance into the small, brightly painted, red room.

84
00:08:43,464 --> 00:08:48,463
And I was really surprised and alarmed by the find.

85
00:08:48,543 --> 00:08:52,542
The most impressive thing was when we took Harry around.

86
00:08:52,542 --> 00:08:56,541
He would not go anywhere near it. He backed right out of there and ran out of steps.

87
00:08:56,541 --> 00:09:03,540
This red room was not in the original house plans.

88
00:09:03,540 --> 00:09:08,539
Why? Who built it? And what possible use could it have?

89
00:09:08,539 --> 00:09:12,538
To this day, these questions have never been answered.

90
00:09:12,538 --> 00:09:16,537
George and Kathy could only wonder about the ominous little room.

91
00:09:16,617 --> 00:09:21,616
It was just one more aspect of the house they didn't understand.

92
00:09:25,615 --> 00:09:30,614
Even the normal rooms caused strange reactions.

93
00:09:30,614 --> 00:09:34,613
Missy would sing constantly within the room.

94
00:09:34,613 --> 00:09:39,612
And if you called her out of, she came out for one reason or another.

95
00:09:39,612 --> 00:09:44,610
As soon as she crossed out those thresholds, she would stop singing.

96
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:49,689
Crossing back again, she would pick up the song from the word that she had stopped on.

97
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:53,688
Continue.

98
00:10:01,687 --> 00:10:06,686
Missy boasted of her new playmate, someone or something named Jody.

99
00:10:06,686 --> 00:10:13,684
Jody said Missy could take any shape. A doll, a teddy bear, even a pig.

100
00:10:13,764 --> 00:10:17,763
And Jody could only be seen by whomever he chose.

101
00:10:17,763 --> 00:10:23,762
And he had remained invisible to Kathy and George. Missy even drew Jody in crayons.

102
00:10:23,762 --> 00:10:28,761
George and Kathy were amused at their daughter's fantasy,

103
00:10:28,761 --> 00:10:33,759
thankful that the terrifying events had not yet touched her.

104
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:38,758
Their amusement faded quickly into hard fear when Jody made his presence known to them.

105
00:10:43,757 --> 00:10:48,756
Missy told us later that her friend Jody could not be seen,

106
00:10:48,756 --> 00:10:52,755
actually seen by anyone unless it wanted them to.

107
00:10:52,755 --> 00:10:58,754
And that at times it was a little bigger than a teddy bear,

108
00:10:58,754 --> 00:11:01,753
and other times it would be bigger than the house.

109
00:11:01,753 --> 00:11:06,752
Jody had the ability to change its size.

110
00:11:06,752 --> 00:11:11,751
One night coming back, I looked up at Missy's room and there was a shape in the room.

111
00:11:11,831 --> 00:11:15,830
That I don't know what it actually was, and it's coming back from the garage one night.

112
00:11:15,830 --> 00:11:19,829
But I would go out to the boathouse for no reason, check everything out,

113
00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:23,828
and then go back. I'd do that a couple of times a night.

114
00:11:23,828 --> 00:11:27,827
No reason I mention that is because our behavior changed.

115
00:11:27,827 --> 00:11:32,826
The way we would go about living, I would go from the fireplace to the boathouse constantly.

116
00:11:32,826 --> 00:11:37,825
No longer did George and Kathy feel they were alone.

117
00:11:37,905 --> 00:11:43,904
The Lutz's felt driven to rid their home of the evil intruder.

118
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:47,903
They decided to re-bless each room themselves.

119
00:11:47,903 --> 00:11:51,902
They think the cloud will be down on Earth as it is in heaven.

120
00:11:51,902 --> 00:11:55,901
Give us this day a day. That's when things really got bad.

121
00:11:55,901 --> 00:11:59,900
We tried to kick out what was there, and it didn't want to go.

122
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:03,899
You go around, you open a window in each room and you say the Lord's prayer,

123
00:12:03,899 --> 00:12:06,898
and you command it to get out of that room, and you go on to the next room.

124
00:12:06,978 --> 00:12:11,977
It didn't want us to go around blessing each room and commanding it to leave.

125
00:12:11,977 --> 00:12:15,976
In the name of God, we would go around and do that.

126
00:12:15,976 --> 00:12:20,975
And when I finished the first time, we heard a chorus of voices.

127
00:12:20,975 --> 00:12:24,974
Scream out, will you please stop?

128
00:12:24,974 --> 00:12:28,973
What you're doing.

129
00:12:28,973 --> 00:12:33,972
So that convinced us that what we had tried to do didn't work.

130
00:12:34,052 --> 00:12:38,051
And things got very bad that night.

131
00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:51,049
We had gone to bed that night, and went into a very deep sleep.

132
00:12:53,048 --> 00:12:58,047
George woke me, and he had backed up from me,

133
00:12:58,047 --> 00:13:02,046
and I couldn't understand the repulsion in his face.

134
00:13:02,126 --> 00:13:06,125
And when I looked up, I saw what caused him to back away,

135
00:13:06,125 --> 00:13:10,124
and that was my reflection in the mirror.

136
00:13:10,124 --> 00:13:15,123
My hair had turned color. There was no true color. It was a grey-white.

137
00:13:15,123 --> 00:13:19,122
My face was severely wrinkled.

138
00:13:19,122 --> 00:13:23,121
Deep impressions coming down across the forehead.

139
00:13:23,121 --> 00:13:27,120
My mouth was very tight, very torn.

140
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,199
And the feelings that were going on were

141
00:13:32,199 --> 00:13:37,198
confusion, illness,

142
00:13:37,198 --> 00:13:42,197
just trying to grasp all of me, you know.

143
00:13:45,196 --> 00:13:49,195
By morning, her frightening appearance had vanished.

144
00:13:49,195 --> 00:13:53,195
George continued to be obsessed with fire.

145
00:13:53,275 --> 00:13:57,274
Endlessly into the flames.

146
00:13:57,274 --> 00:14:01,273
Slowly, the chill gripped his very soul.

147
00:14:01,273 --> 00:14:05,272
The searing heat was etching a demonic face

148
00:14:05,272 --> 00:14:09,271
into the fireplace.

149
00:14:09,271 --> 00:14:13,270
It was staring out at him through the flames.

150
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:17,269
What would happen next?

151
00:14:17,269 --> 00:14:21,268
We felt absolutely no sense of salvation or outside help.

152
00:14:21,348 --> 00:14:25,347
They feared for their sanity, their very lives.

153
00:14:32,346 --> 00:14:36,345
You know, all kinds of things are going on that night.

154
00:14:36,345 --> 00:14:40,344
Noises are going off downstairs, front door slim, dogs getting sick,

155
00:14:40,344 --> 00:14:44,343
the kids' beds are being levitated and dropping down.

156
00:14:44,343 --> 00:14:48,342
The constant barrage of increasing terror finally made the luscious realize

157
00:14:48,422 --> 00:14:52,421
that we could go on.

158
00:14:52,421 --> 00:14:56,420
And that was the last night we spent in the house then,

159
00:14:56,420 --> 00:15:00,419
because that was ridiculous to even consider staying there.

160
00:15:00,419 --> 00:15:04,419
And yet it was very hard for us to leave,

161
00:15:04,419 --> 00:15:08,418
to just organize all five of us into the same room and actually get out to the van

162
00:15:08,418 --> 00:15:12,417
and get us started and drive away with the dog.

163
00:15:12,417 --> 00:15:16,416
And that was the last night we spent in the house then, because that was ridiculous to even consider staying there.

164
00:15:16,416 --> 00:15:20,415
We just started and drive away with the dog.

165
00:15:20,415 --> 00:15:24,414
Only 28 days after moving in,

166
00:15:24,414 --> 00:15:28,413
the Lutz family abandoned all their possessions,

167
00:15:28,413 --> 00:15:32,412
everything they owned.

168
00:15:32,412 --> 00:15:36,411
Possible explanations as to what really happened in Amityville

169
00:15:36,411 --> 00:15:40,410
will be examined next.

170
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:44,410
I'm a journalist.

171
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:48,409
I try to investigate as best as I can.

172
00:15:48,409 --> 00:15:52,408
When you first hear the Lutz's story, it sounds like a very good haunted house story.

173
00:15:52,408 --> 00:15:56,407
Author Jay Anson.

174
00:15:56,407 --> 00:16:00,406
But then I spoke to the priest at his apartment in the rectory.

175
00:16:00,406 --> 00:16:04,405
When I heard his story and was able to put together a chronology

176
00:16:04,405 --> 00:16:08,404
of the events that took place within that framework of 28 days,

177
00:16:08,404 --> 00:16:12,403
I was convinced there are things out there that

178
00:16:12,403 --> 00:16:16,402
many people cannot explain.

179
00:16:16,402 --> 00:16:20,401
The phenomenon that occurred to the Lutz's and to the father, I sincerely believe

180
00:16:20,401 --> 00:16:24,400
they took place.

181
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,400
The Amityville house seems peaceful now.

182
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,399
There is no evidence that any strange events have occurred here since the Lutz's fled.

183
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:36,398
In search of has previously investigated haunted houses,

184
00:16:36,398 --> 00:16:40,397
and we found that in many cases a human tragedy,

185
00:16:40,397 --> 00:16:44,396
such as a murder, has left emotional memories.

186
00:16:44,396 --> 00:16:48,395
This may be the explanation for the Amityville horror,

187
00:16:48,395 --> 00:16:52,394
or there may have been a much more dangerous force.

188
00:16:52,394 --> 00:16:56,393
What psychics and priests call demonic,

189
00:16:56,393 --> 00:17:00,392
pure destructive energy, as ancient

190
00:17:00,392 --> 00:17:04,391
as time itself.

191
00:17:10,390 --> 00:17:14,389
The nightmares the Lutz's had experienced about the murders

192
00:17:14,389 --> 00:17:18,388
previously committed in the house caused Kathy and George

193
00:17:18,388 --> 00:17:22,387
to investigate the circumstances.

194
00:17:22,387 --> 00:17:26,387
Ronald DeFeo

195
00:17:26,387 --> 00:17:30,386
had murdered his father, mother, two brothers,

196
00:17:30,386 --> 00:17:34,385
and two sisters. Sentenced to life in Clinton State Prison

197
00:17:34,385 --> 00:17:38,384
in New York, DeFeo has claimed that demonic voices

198
00:17:38,384 --> 00:17:42,383
goaded him into committing the gruesome killings.

199
00:17:42,383 --> 00:17:46,382
Neighbors and acquaintances of DeFeo were

200
00:17:46,382 --> 00:17:50,381
astonished at how George and DeFeo looked alike,

201
00:17:50,381 --> 00:17:54,380
how they both presented the same appearance.

202
00:17:54,380 --> 00:17:58,379
George feared that his recent personality changes

203
00:17:58,379 --> 00:18:02,378
were further indications that he might become more and more like DeFeo,

204
00:18:02,378 --> 00:18:06,378
and not just in looks.

205
00:18:06,378 --> 00:18:10,377
This disturbing revelation prompted the Lutz's to seek out psychic investigators

206
00:18:10,377 --> 00:18:14,376
Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warren's have investigated

207
00:18:14,376 --> 00:18:18,375
many disturbed houses, and they examined the empty house

208
00:18:18,375 --> 00:18:22,374
looking for an explanation. What started the trouble with the Lutz's

209
00:18:22,374 --> 00:18:26,373
was the fact that there were six people

210
00:18:26,373 --> 00:18:30,372
who were murdered in that house. The inhuman, the diabolical,

211
00:18:30,372 --> 00:18:34,371
are attracted to where tragedies occur,

212
00:18:34,371 --> 00:18:38,370
just like a moth would be attracted to a light.

213
00:18:38,370 --> 00:18:42,369
And when the Lutz family moved in 13 months after these murders,

214
00:18:42,369 --> 00:18:46,369
they were still using some of the furniture that was in there.

215
00:18:46,369 --> 00:18:50,368
We know that vibrations can build up in a home like this

216
00:18:50,368 --> 00:18:54,367
of a negative nature, and suddenly we have a psychic explosion.

217
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:58,366
There are those who speculate that this psychic

218
00:18:58,366 --> 00:19:02,365
explosion was not really a sudden build up from the DeFeo murders,

219
00:19:02,365 --> 00:19:06,364
but rather that Ronald DeFeo was the object of negative forces

220
00:19:06,364 --> 00:19:10,363
already on this ground. Research shows

221
00:19:10,363 --> 00:19:14,362
that the Shinnecock and Massapequin tribes lived in what is today

222
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:18,361
Amityville. The actual Lutz home is built

223
00:19:18,361 --> 00:19:22,360
on land where these Indians imprisoned their tribal members who were deemed

224
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:26,360
insane, evil, or possessed.

225
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,359
Perhaps these tortured souls caused negative forces

226
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,358
to inhabit the Amityville ground.

227
00:19:34,358 --> 00:19:38,357
No.

228
00:19:38,357 --> 00:19:42,356
This seemingly far-fetched explanation helped confirm something the Lutz

229
00:19:42,356 --> 00:19:46,355
desperately wanted to hear. We believe it was there when

230
00:19:46,355 --> 00:19:50,354
we moved in. I don't believe it

231
00:19:50,354 --> 00:19:54,353
came to bother us after we moved in. Let's put it that way.

232
00:19:54,353 --> 00:19:58,352
You know, whatever was there had been there for quite a while.

233
00:19:58,352 --> 00:20:02,351
All those involved with the Amityville

234
00:20:02,351 --> 00:20:06,351
horror agree on one thing. Some evil thing

235
00:20:06,351 --> 00:20:10,350
no one can explain seemed to inhabit the house.

236
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:14,349
Why then was it never exercised?

237
00:20:14,349 --> 00:20:18,348
I'm a Roman Catholic priest and the Roman Catholic Church teaches that

238
00:20:18,348 --> 00:20:22,347
people can become possessed but not objects.

239
00:20:22,347 --> 00:20:26,346
The Lutz's were not possessed, so therefore I don't believe they should have been exercised.

240
00:20:26,346 --> 00:20:30,345
And I don't believe a house was possessed. There was something there.

241
00:20:38,343 --> 00:20:42,342
To this day, no one knows what actually was in the Lutz home.

242
00:20:42,342 --> 00:20:46,342
But whatever the explanation, in the case of the Amityville

243
00:20:46,342 --> 00:20:50,341
horror, one family managed to escape.

244
00:20:56,339 --> 00:21:00,338
For those who live through the Amityville horror, the emotional shock

245
00:21:00,338 --> 00:21:04,337
still lingers. The Lutz has fled

246
00:21:04,337 --> 00:21:08,337
to the opposite end of the country, never to return to the house in which

247
00:21:08,337 --> 00:21:12,336
they had sunk all their hopes and all their savings.

248
00:21:12,336 --> 00:21:16,335
I think I want my family and my children much

249
00:21:16,335 --> 00:21:20,334
more than I want a structure. And if you view it in that

250
00:21:20,334 --> 00:21:24,333
perspective, it's easy to walk away from.

251
00:21:24,333 --> 00:21:28,332
We still have that alone feeling, I guess that doesn't go away.

252
00:21:28,332 --> 00:21:32,331
We're glad it's over. For us it's over.

253
00:21:32,331 --> 00:21:36,330
The Lutz's believe it is over. For them,

254
00:21:36,330 --> 00:21:40,329
it may be.

255
00:21:40,329 --> 00:21:44,328
Up next is the Black Sheep Squadron and

256
00:21:44,328 --> 00:21:48,328
Papi Boynton signing up for a volunteers only suicide mission.

257
00:21:48,328 --> 00:21:52,327
And right after the Black Sheep, modern marvels lifts off with the pilots and engineers

258
00:21:52,327 --> 00:21:56,326
who pioneered the new advances in ballooning.

259
00:21:56,326 --> 00:22:00,325
But stay tuned now for the Black Sheep Squadron, here on the History Channel, where the past comes alive.
