1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Here's the universe going to keep slowing down, or will it come back around and crash

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
together?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
We're right on the edge.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,500
After dark, the streets of Chicago team with a different kind of nightlife.

5
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:28,680
We're talking here about opening a large panorama of so-called past lives, future lives, inter-life.

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:35,680
From the boundaries of the universe to the depth of your soul.

7
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Embark on a journey through the unknown and unexplained as we explore mysteries, magic and miracles.

8
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,680
Hello and welcome. I'm Patrick McNeigh.

9
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:57,680
Breaking down your barriers in life by using your past life and the most important event in the history of the universe,

10
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,680
will be featured later in the show.

11
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,680
But first, ghostly encounters and those who track them.

12
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,680
After dark, the streets of Chicago team with a different kind of nightlife.

13
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:26,680
If a shadowy image sends an icy chill down your spine, is it real or imagined?

14
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,680
James Romanovich investigates unexplained phenomena of Chicago.

15
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,680
Today we're going to take a look at a different side of Chicago.

16
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,680
It's sorted history. That which is filled with cemeteries, murders and ghosts.

17
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,680
People claim to see and feel ghosts.

18
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,680
But ghost hunters are becoming much more scientific about the spirit world.

19
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,680
And president of the Ghost Research Society, Dale Cosmerick, shows us how.

20
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:21,680
These devices will pick up that disturbance and then we can try other equipment like our cameras and tape recorders and so forth.

21
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,680
Basically what this does is it picks up static electricity discharges in a given location.

22
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Another DOS meter, which doesn't give an audible signal, but actually gives LED lights.

23
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,680
We have a Geiger counter out here.

24
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:44,680
One photo taken by Dale at Bachelors Grove Cemetery shows this translucent apparition of a woman sitting on a tombstone.

25
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,680
We're here today to find out why so many people around the Chicago land area travel to this particular cemetery.

26
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,680
In search of ghosts.

27
00:02:52,680 --> 00:03:01,680
If you look at the historical significance of the area around here and the plots that they had, their names are on all the plots.

28
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,680
The Fultons, the Wheelers, they all came from the old country, from Germany.

29
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,680
So I assume that many of these people that are buried in here knew one another.

30
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,680
And perhaps they're still calling their friends even after death.

31
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:29,680
There have been reports within the cemetery down this main trail as you walk into the cemetery of what appears to be a woman sometimes dressed in a white gown or a wedding gown or a bridal gown of some kind, holding a baby in her arms.

32
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,680
We know that through historical records it belongs to D.W. Rogers.

33
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,680
There was one recording which I had heard a number of years ago.

34
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Somebody had recorded not too far, five or ten feet away from this main gate here, a sound of somebody calling Mina.

35
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Mina sort of wailing in the wind.

36
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,680
And there is a grave site in here with that name, that first name of Mina.

37
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:02,680
The dead don't rest too easily out here at Bachelors Grove because of all the sacrifice and the things that have went on here in the past.

38
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:16,680
It acts as like a battery, charging up this area to a point that eventually it discharges in a way through manifestations, through spirits, through cold spots, feelings, sightings, and balls of light that people have seen.

39
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,680
Bachelors Grove isn't the only haunted place in the city.

40
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Next we went to Chicago's south side to hear the tale of a murder and a ghost.

41
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:47,680
This is the roadway located directly in front of the Willowbrook Ballroom where in 1931, Resurrection Mary, or a girl named Mary with later dubbed Resurrection Mary, was hitchhiking back home along this roadway when she was struck and killed by a hit and run automobile somewhere between the Willowbrook Ballroom and Resurrection Cemetery.

42
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:58,680
Since 1931 she has been seen still trying to hitchhike back home from the Willowbrook to the cemetery and beyond, but she never gets beyond the cemetery.

43
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,680
We're at Resurrection Cemetery in South Suburban Justice, 7600 Archer Avenue.

44
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:13,680
We're coming up to the main gates of the cemetery where in August of 1976 a man traveling by the cemetery saw what appeared to be a girl locked in the cemetery after hours.

45
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:25,680
When the police were dispatched to the area they found these two bars of the cemetery gates pulled apart and bent at a very funny angle and pressed in the bars with impressions of fingerprints, skin texture, and scorch marks.

46
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,680
No one was able to give an explanation how those marks were made on the bars.

47
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,680
Then we visited the Mount Carmel Cemetery to see the evidence of yet another haunting.

48
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:45,680
We're coming up to a very interesting grave here in this cemetery. It's called Julia Bacola Peta.

49
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Julia died in 1921 at the age of 29 of complications from childbirth.

50
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,680
She was buried here with her stillborn infant in this grave here at Mount Carmel Cemetery.

51
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Soon after this her mother, Filipina Bacola, began to have a series of unexplained dreams when Julia began pleading and begging with her mother to dig up and exhume the grave.

52
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:14,680
This went on for many years as the frantic mother tried to get permission from the local parish, the cemetery, and other police authorities to exhume the grave.

53
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:22,680
They found Julia lying as fresh as the day she was buried. Apparently no decomposition of the body whatsoever.

54
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:32,680
There are two porcelain photographs on the monument now. The top one shows Julia on her wedding day holding a bouquet of roses.

55
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:44,680
The bottom picture on the base of the monument shows Julia as she was found six years later after being dug up in a perfect state of preservation.

56
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:53,680
There isn't a reason why Julia had no signs of decomposition after six years. To this day, a white ghostly figure is seen roaming near her grave.

57
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:04,680
Now we go to a restaurant in downtown Chicago where the Ghost Research Society found unmistakable photographic evidence of ghosts.

58
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:21,680
The first photograph shows absolutely nothing at all. The bottom photograph, taken a few seconds later after the film was wound and re-cocked, shows some strange light formation to the left of the bust.

59
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:31,680
What appears in this photograph, if you look to the extreme left, near that table, appears to be a semi-transparent figure of a monk-like individual.

60
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Apparently, culled in a monk's habit. You can see the semi-transparent image above the table and directly below the table.

61
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,680
Underneath the tablecloth, you can see what appears to be semi-transparent feet and legs.

62
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,680
This video tape was recorded by the Ghost Research Society at the stake out of the restaurant. Listen closely.

63
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:40,680
When we gaze up into the night sky, the brilliance of a billion twinkling lights fascinates us. How was the universe created?

64
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:46,680
Was it created by a fiery explosion or was it carefully planned?

65
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:54,680
People have been fascinated from time immemorial about the universe and our place in it.

66
00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:04,680
From a child to an adult, we have read books about space exploration, listened to space adventures on radio and tried space travel at amusement parks.

67
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:12,680
But the lure for answers to the questions of the universe go far beyond what science, physics and even theology can tell us.

68
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:21,680
At Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories in Berkeley, California, cosmologist George Smoot heads a team of researchers that discovered the origins of the universe.

69
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:28,680
While he found the answer to one of life's greatest mysteries, his research also raises an even greater question.

70
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:34,680
Well, cosmology is the study of the universe, how it was created, how it evolves, what its future might be.

71
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:39,680
The study of the universe has a whole system. It's not just that we want to see how the stars and galaxies came into being.

72
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,680
We really like to know where did the whole universe come from. In this century, our ideas of the universe have changed dramatically.

73
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:48,680
The universe has gotten to be at least 10,000 times bigger than it was.

74
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:54,680
In the 1920s, the astronomer Edwin Hubble proved the universe was expanding.

75
00:09:54,680 --> 00:10:07,680
While some scientists believed the expanding universe was a result of an explosion or big bang, others stuck with the idea that the universe was not moving, that it existed in a steady state.

76
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:12,680
Hubble's discovery led Dr. Smoot to search for evidence of the big bang.

77
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:19,680
At the beginning of the universe, there must have been these seeds that were going to turn into stars or turn into galaxies or clusters of galaxies or bigger scale things.

78
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:26,680
And the idea was we needed to go and look for those, make sure we understood it and see how the universe grew and evolved as it was expanding.

79
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:34,680
Cosmic seeds are actual ripples in space-time, which Smoot thinks came from the formation of the universe.

80
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:43,680
The big bang is actually two bangs, the kind of expanding state that we live in now, plus this early time which was accelerating and creating the space and time that we now live in.

81
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:52,680
If we could only see how the universe evolved, we would see the formation of the stars and galaxies, all the structures in space.

82
00:10:52,680 --> 00:11:02,680
At first it would be a hot, fiery explosion, with matter flying apart, then a cooling down where gravity would pull matter closer together into a spiral-like galaxy.

83
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:10,680
The evidence for this dramatic movement are wrinkles in the fabric of time that hold the seeds from which the universe is born.

84
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:18,680
And so one of the things that I and other people did was design a satellite which we call the Cosmic Background Explorer, COBE for short,

85
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:25,680
which was designed to go out and map the early universe and try and look for these seeds and also try and look for the intermediate steps,

86
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:28,680
what we could see about how the galaxies were forming, what was evolving.

87
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:33,680
The COBE satellite was launched by Delta Rocket in 1992.

88
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:41,680
Once it was in orbit, 500 miles above the Earth, it began spinning and opened its instruments to gather information.

89
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:51,680
By mapping the level of radiation in the galaxy, COBE came up with a picture that revealed how the universe evolved from a smooth to a lumpy one,

90
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:57,680
made up of galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and even larger structures with holes in between.

91
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:07,680
The Cosmic Background Explorer satellite was NASA's first cosmology mission, and the idea was we had to get up into space to get away from the variable atmosphere

92
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:13,680
and from man-made emissions and get into a place where the environment is very controlled, where we could scan out the whole sky.

93
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:22,680
Our goal was to go and check was that radiation really coming from the Big Bang, and that means we had the measured spectrum sort of split it into rainbow colors like the sun

94
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:30,680
and see if the shape looked right. And so when the first experiments on the satellite measured that and showed to better than a part in a thousand,

95
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,680
it had exactly the shape predicted by the Big Bang.

96
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:42,680
Rinkles are a picture of the universe as an embryo. They hold the seeds that will grow into other stars, galaxies, and clusters.

97
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,680
They are the evidence of the birth of the universe.

98
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:55,680
They designed experiments to take snapshots of what the universe looked like from an embryo through adolescence into middle age, the time period that we exist in now.

99
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:05,680
Looking into the night sky, we can't believe we are the only intelligent life. In fact, it's extremely likely other life forms exist in different parts of the universe.

100
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:13,680
One of the things that we've done as astronomers and gone out and looked, we look at our own galaxy and we estimate there's about 100 billion stars in our galaxy.

101
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:21,680
And that when you look at the picture we've made of our own galaxy, it's very clear, it's a spiral disk, and that we're way out at the edge.

102
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:27,680
I mean, we're just not an unusual star. So we're on the third rock from the sun and we're on a star that if you were sitting in the center of the galaxy,

103
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:30,680
you wouldn't be able to pick out of the crowd because it's way out in the boonies.

104
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:36,680
If we use our telescopes and look carefully out of the night sky, everywhere we see a star in the background, we see another galaxy.

105
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:44,680
And we estimate that if we were to have the time and the effort, we would see over 100 billion galaxies if we just went around a telescope and looked.

106
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:50,680
And so that's 100 billion stars, that's 100 billion galaxies, and that's just in the part of the universe we can see.

107
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:54,680
The real question is what's going to happen to the universe as a whole.

108
00:13:54,680 --> 00:14:04,680
Is the universe going to keep slowing down but not enough to turn around and come back, or will it slow down, come back around and crash together?

109
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:10,680
And in our studies what we're seeing is it's too close to tell.

110
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:18,680
It looks as though we're right on the edge, we're right on the borderline between a universe that will expand forever and a universe that will turn around and collapse.

111
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:25,680
Our future is secure for a long time. And we don't know the answer, but we know the sun will run out of fuel first.

112
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,680
The Earth is Flat

113
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Despite these advanced theories, there are still some who think the Earth is flat.

114
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:54,680
The Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion, founded in 1895, believes the ancient view of the Earth to be true.

115
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Followers say the North Pole lies in the centre of the world, with the South Pole its circular boundary.

116
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:09,680
It is surrounded by a wall of ice and snow that stops ships from falling off the edge.

117
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,680
Is it possible to experience a life that is buried deep inside our subconscious?

118
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680
A life you lived many years before?

119
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:26,680
Susan O'Leary investigates how past lives can change us and help us to understand who we are and why we are here.

120
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:35,680
I spoke to Dr. Adrian Finkelstein, who has studied past life therapy for 16 years and who has written several books on past life regression.

121
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:49,680
I decided to do research. I just got volunteers. Many of them, about 700 volunteers.

122
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:56,680
I spent thousands of hours to verify if it's correct that people lived before.

123
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:05,680
Dr. Finkelstein told me that people who live with fears and paranoia in this life usually carried those fears and paranoia over from past lives.

124
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,680
These people benefit the most from being regressed into past lives.

125
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,680
He has a patient who constantly fears being poisoned by her husband in this life.

126
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:21,680
In therapy with Dr. Finkelstein, she was put under hypnosis and taken back into a past life where her problem originated.

127
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,680
It was discovered that her husband in her past life abused her physically and mentally.

128
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,680
In a rage, he threw her into a well with poisonous water and she was killed.

129
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:40,680
As a result of the regression into the past life, she gained more insight into why she had such an unrealistic fear of being poisoned in this life.

130
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,680
I asked Dr. Finkelstein if the existence of past lives has ever been proven.

131
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:56,680
There was a little girl that I regressed in my first phases of my work was past life regression.

132
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,680
This little girl was 8 years old and in this life Jewish.

133
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:07,680
In her past life, this girl was Catholic, living in Mexico in a small town called Tila.

134
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:14,680
She gave her name as Paula Liborio and her date of birth, which was January 30th, 1862.

135
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:21,680
She also gave detailed descriptions of how to make tequila and various other aspects that were typical of that era.

136
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:33,680
I went to Tala, Mexico and I found in the only church there the baptismal certificate of Paula Liborio, born January 30th, 1862.

137
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,680
I decided to be hypnotized and taken back into a past life by Dr. Finkelstein.

138
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:46,680
The level of hypnosis may vary from very deep to very superficial.

139
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Well, the first step was to get very relaxed and comfortable.

140
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,680
Then Dr. Finkelstein basically walked me through it with his words.

141
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:59,680
There were visual images. I was walking backwards and backwards and really without even knowing it, I was in a past life.

142
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,680
What is your name?

143
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,680
The name that you heard?

144
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,680
Christine.

145
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,680
Christine?

146
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,680
Okay.

147
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:25,680
Now Christine, I want you to go backward or forward in life to a very important event in your life, Christine.

148
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:32,680
And once you find that event, just tell me what's all about.

149
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:39,680
First impression that comes to your mind's eye or any of your senses?

150
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,680
You're running.

151
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,680
You're running?

152
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,680
You're running where?

153
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,680
Away.

154
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Christine, what makes you run?

155
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,680
Because they're coming after me.

156
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Once there, I was able to see and describe details about myself and my circumstances as Christine.

157
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:18,680
Usually they come to a situation that has connection with the problem they have in their current life.

158
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,680
I was not an outside observer. I was actually feeling the experience and the emotions of Christine.

159
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:35,680
I felt both physical senses of being tired from walking, someone's touch, and I also felt the emotions of crying and laughing.

160
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:46,680
I'm not discarding conventional treatment, but I'm merely adding a new dimension to it that would broaden the scope.

161
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:53,680
I think I look at things different now, or at least more closely. I pay attention to gut feelings and deja vu.

162
00:19:53,680 --> 00:20:02,680
And if I run into somebody that I think looks familiar or I have a camaraderie with, I think maybe I might have known him before.

163
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:12,680
We're talking here about opening a large panorama of so-called past lives, future lives, inter-life.

164
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:21,680
It was a very difficult experience. Actually, it was actually painful and difficult, but in the long run, I think I learned a lot from it and I'm glad I did it.

165
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:48,680
Whatever your personal beliefs may be, learning about other beliefs and possibilities is a way to enrich your life.

166
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:56,680
I'm Patrick McNee. Join me next time for more mysteries, magic, and miracles.

167
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:42,680
I'm Patrick McNee. Join me next time for more mysteries, magic, and miracles.

168
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,680
you
