105 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:37,199 being awol is that they were following 106 00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,360 advice given by spirits talking through 107 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,600 a ouija board the

00:04:54,240 signal for the group to go public and 114 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:55,840 the others would follow him depending on 115 00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:57,680 the public reaction to what he was 116 00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:58,720 revealing 117 00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,080 davis said the group had been 118 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:02,720 experimenting with esp tarot cards and 119 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:05,199 other esoteric practices to see if there 120 00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,680 was something actually to it they hit 121 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:09,680 brick walls until they tried a ouija 122 00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:12,639 board and someone showed up according to 123 00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:15,440 davis spirits predicted the gulf war in 124 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,880 the 1990 iran
