1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 A strike without warning. Turning our innocent world upside down. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000 I really don't know who it is or what it is. I just wish it would leave. 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000 There is no method to their madness. No rhyme to their reason. 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,000 There's something out there we can't explain. Ignorance, stupidity, fear, and debunking is not going to make it go away. 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000 They exist outside the boundaries of logic, but perhaps they live within all of us. 6 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Playful spirits, mischievous ghosts, poltergeists. 7 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Beyond what is known, why does an unexturbed world of shadows and phantoms? 8 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000 A land that knows no limits of time or space. 9 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000 From the dawn of discovery to the nightfall of catastrophe, journey to a universe of the unexplained. 10 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000 The unforeseen, the unbelievable. 11 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000 A place beyond reality, with no question will go unanswered. 12 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000 And a place where nymphs and legends are all superstition of science. 13 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000 It's time for our journey to begin. 14 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 You play with our fears, toyed with what we know to be real. 15 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Poltergeists. 16 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Knowledge surrounds these library walls, and with these instruments, that knowledge can be ours. 17 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:34,000 From ghosties and ghoulies and long legative beasties and things that go bump in the night. 18 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Good Lord, deliver us. 19 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000 That prayer encompasses much of the supernatural, including the poltergeist, or playful spirit. 20 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000 And these poltergeists can be found in the most unlikely places. 21 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000 This is an establishment dedicated to innocence. 22 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000 A toy store in California in the United States, and this man is about to receive a lesson in the supernatural. 23 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Poltergeists have been reported for thousands of years, though perhaps they have been misidentified. 24 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Demons, gremlins, sprites, elves, they have got my many names. 25 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Who can say for certain how many witnesses were persecuted for their tales, 26 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000 for society has always frowned on being forced to confront the unexplained. 27 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000 But those who have experienced a full blown outbreak can never forget, though they earnestly wish they could. 28 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,000 This man is not alone, for the supernatural has a way of manifesting itself whether we want it to or not. 29 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000 There are many theories as to why poltergeists appear, as to where they appear. 30 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000 The facts are conclusive. They're everywhere. 31 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Poltergeist has been reported all around the world, and in some cultures, they're an accepted component of local religion. 32 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000 In the South Pacific, poltergeist activity is a part of everyday life, literally taken for granted. 33 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000 But in our outwardly more sophisticated culture, poltergeists are feared or worse disbelieved. 34 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000 To learn more about this curious phenomenon, we need to examine a haunting in progress. 35 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000 As is so often the case with the supernatural, this activity began under the most innocent circumstances. 36 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000 This quiet suburban neighborhood in Southern California seems quite normal enough, 37 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000 but inside this house, just behind these cars, is a place where the police are not allowed to go. 38 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000 In the house, the doors, the normal, has become the paranormal. 39 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000 It's something you can't explain. I've heard a lot of stories about poltergeists. 40 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000 I've seen a lot of movies, and they've always been fascinating, but I've always been skeptical. 41 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000 But now, I have lived through a few of the things. 42 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,000 One of the most amazing stories that I've come encountered with was our son Dusty was laying his crib crying, 43 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000 and me and my wife were in our bed, and we were going to let him cry himself to sleep, 44 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000 because he had a habit of crying and wanting to be picked up. 45 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000 So we said, no, now we're not going to pick him up, we're just going to see how long he cries. 46 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 So he had been crying for about ten minutes. 47 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000 All of a sudden, I heard a woman's voice tell our son to be quiet and go to sleep. 48 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000 And at that time, our son just went to sleep. 49 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000 When my husband and I both heard that woman's voice tell our son to go to sleep, 50 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000 we immediately ran into his room, and in his room, he was fast asleep. 51 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000 He was very comfortable, which was amazing, and there was like a fog, a cloud around his crib. 52 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 What's happening here? 53 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Parapsychologist Barry Tuff, he tends to find out. 54 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,000 We try to place ourselves into the environment to where we ourselves as researchers experience the phenomenon firsthand. 55 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000 At the same time, we bring with instrumentation to record the phenomenon, tape recorders, audio recorders, 56 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 and video equipment, which is conventional, like video cameras or infrared video cameras, 57 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000 hoping that we're able to actually document the presence of the phenomenon when it's there. 58 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Through a process called infrared thermography, Tuff believes he can capture a disillusive phenomenon, 59 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 but not today, not at the things. 60 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000 The phenomenon usually doesn't show up when the researchers are there, 61 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000 because we're only there for a few hours out of thousands of hours they spend in that environment. 62 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000 What is causing this strange goings on? 63 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Barry Tuff feels it is terrors unleashed subconscious. 64 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000 The phenomenon seems to occur when he's under great stress and he's always anxious, 65 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000 which is a general theory we have. 66 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000 It's spanned the duration of most of his life, which means it's a product or a byproduct of him in some manner. 67 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000 It's here now, and I don't think I'm creating it now. I think it's just here. 68 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000 The poltergeist, a creature of shadow. Not it seems, imagination. 69 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Three thousand miles from the Figgins home in the city of Chicago, another haunting is in progress. 70 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000 We started hearing footsteps upstairs going across the floor, primarily on Sundays. 71 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Glasses were moving around the table very quickly. 72 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000 I don't know whether that was a ghost here or just someone's power of will to move the glass, but that scared me a lot. 73 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000 I used to hear some funny noises and stuff, and I walked around like a blast of break, 74 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 and I didn't hear it. I'd hear it if I'd go over it and I wouldn't see no glass broken. 75 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000 So I came up here after work one night, and I was studying at the bar, 76 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000 and I had a distinct feeling I was not the only person in the room. 77 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000 It was clearly the sound of someone stomping across the floor. 78 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,000 I turned around to go downstairs, and as I went downstairs, it was just as if someone was running an ice cube up and down my spine. 79 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000 There was something here I can't explain, and there's a very good possibility that this is poltergeist activity. 80 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000 If this phenomenon does exist, experts have differing explanations of what it may be. 81 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Poltergeist comes from the German mean of mischievous or noisy ghost, and usually that's what it is. 82 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000 A ghost, some kind of a spirit trying to attract attention to itself by doing mischievous things. 83 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000 You find it quite often in the case of a living person causing a poltergeist that it's an adolescent 84 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:18,000 because they are full of conflicts and motion, and sometimes they can project it onto material things so things will move around. 85 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000 What a poltergeist supposedly is, is a mischievous imp or creature from another dimension. 86 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000 They are not from the dead. They don't come back to haunt and disrupt and destroy. 87 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 They just like to place to the gains. 88 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Something unusual is occurring. 89 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Something that has no easy explanation. 90 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:52,000 It's time for us to try to confront this mystery head on and see if this mischievous spirit will emerge from the shadows that surround it. 91 00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Poltergeists are notoriously shy, but they seem to delight in surprising and shocking the unwary. 92 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,000 These mysterious forces that follow innocent families around the country seem anxious to preserve their anonymity. 93 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Why? 94 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:19,000 It was in this small village in Long Island near the city of New York that the poltergeist first became a media event. 95 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:31,000 This is Amityville, and in the nearby home of George and Kathleen Lutz, a terrifying and still unexplained happening put the poltergeist on the front pages and on the movie screen. 96 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000 And years later the horror of Amityville lives on. 97 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000 The ordeal of the Lutz is still told and retold. 98 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Well, supposedly they seen pig eyes in the windows, they seen pigs in the pool. 99 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000 There was some talk that one of the doors was blown off the hinges. 100 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:01,000 At the time they said that in certain rooms there was blood oozing out of the doorways or windows and things like that. 101 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000 All the kind of things you'd read about in a kid's book. 102 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000 But why this house? 103 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:14,000 The Lutz is believed to be the cause of the psychic fallout from a series of grizzly murders committed years earlier under their roof. 104 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:23,000 The confessed murderer, Ronald Thecio, killed his entire family and that unspeakable crime was thought to live on. 105 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000 But many who live in Amityville have a more down to earth explanation for this haunting. 106 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:37,000 I believe they had a preconceived idea of concocting the story and writing a book and making money on it. 107 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000 I believe it was a financial gain. Absolutely. 108 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000 No matter what the explanation, this case made it easier for other poltergeist victims to tell their stories. 109 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000 And every year hundreds of outbreaks are reported and not all can be dismissed. 110 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000 There's no doubt that some strange force can manifest itself. 111 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Not surprisingly, Paris psychologists have a number of different explanations. 112 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Young children are particularly open to the energy of poltergeist because during their puberty they manifest a great deal of changing energy. 113 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000 It's sometimes a subtle play of the right person, right place, at the right time. 114 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 But in other cases things seem to go on and on for many, many years. 115 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:30,000 The evidence accumulated by many researchers throughout the world is very matter of factly suggest that there's something out there we can't explain. 116 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Ignorance, stupidity, fear and debunking is not going to make it go away. 117 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:42,000 One of the most common misconceptions is that a poltergeist is a ghost. That is not the case. 118 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000 A ghost is said to be the soul of someone who has not yet transcended the physical plane, 119 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000 someone who has not yet completed the journey to their ultimate cosmic destination. 120 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,000 A poltergeist, on the other hand, is a far more down to earth entity. 121 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:11,000 It likes to toy with the living, manipulate the physical world for its own mysterious purposes. 122 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000 One theory is that poltergeists come from within, that their creatures are locked away in our physical body, 123 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000 waiting only for chemical excuses to rise. 124 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000 Are we carrying these strange powers inside us? 125 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:44,000 And if so, can they be released, perhaps controlled? 126 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000 Ghosts and spirits are traditionally rooted in one place. 127 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Yet poltergeists have been known to follow people from one place to another, across great distances. 128 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000 Why? 129 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000 When this first happened to me, I was about maybe 13, 14 at the time, and this was in Dallas. 130 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000 There was a lady who died in the house, and we had just moved in. 131 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000 So she was like, I guess she was angry that someone was moving into her house. 132 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Then I moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and I started experiencing other poltergeists. 133 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000 I would hear noises in the living room or in my bedroom. 134 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000 I would hear them knocking. It's a different type of experience. 135 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000 This terrifying experience has followed Shah to a new Los Angeles home. 136 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000 It will not leave her at peace. 137 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000 It almost seems as if she has attracted her own personal demon, 138 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:54,000 an entity that recently has disturbed her bed-curds, ripped through her curtains. 139 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000 The strange force that continually reminds her of its presence. 140 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000 The poltergeists always bother me there. 141 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,000 They always shake in my bed, or making noise in the closets, or on the walls. 142 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000 I'm just tapping, or rapping. 143 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000 I really don't know who it is or what it is. 144 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000 I really can't tell. I just wish it would leave. 145 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000 So Shah went for expert help. 146 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Margaret Rogers, a psychic with years of experience, 147 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000 visited the residence and through her conversations with Shah, 148 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000 began to form a theory as to what was occurring. 149 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000 What it does is it will give you impressions of its presence. 150 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000 This situation here with the lady in this house, Shah, 151 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000 is one of energy that has been falling around for a long time. 152 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000 Shah can actually help herself by thinking positive thoughts, 153 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000 by enjoying her life. 154 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000 She will cast light upon the lost soul, the entity, and it will be uplifted. 155 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000 I really want this to end. 156 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000 I mean, I'm tired of living in fear. 157 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000 I'm tired of this poltergeist bothering me. 158 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000 In the mid-1920s, a noted parapsychologist named Harry Price 159 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000 was the first to notice that many poltergeist manifestations 160 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000 seemed to occur around young girls. 161 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000 This perplexing fact may have an explanation, 162 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000 an explanation that may shed some light on just what poltergeists are. 163 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000 According to Harry Price, the ratio of poltergeist activity 164 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000 between men and women is 5 to 95 percent. 165 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Is reason for that statistic? 166 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Well, Price believed that a young girl just entering adulthood 167 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000 could in some cases trigger her dormant psychic powers 168 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000 through the natural stimulus of her body's hormones. 169 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000 These hormones are the products of the assorted glands we all possess. 170 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000 Only in these rare cases, they run wild, 171 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000 causing the entire range of reported manifestations. 172 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000 But this is only a theory, 173 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000 and it does not come close to explaining every case, 174 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000 or this long list of poltergeist activities. 175 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000 But it is a start. 176 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000 This is only one theory. 177 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 No matter why poltergeists appear, 178 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000 most people who encounter them would rather not. 179 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Is it possible to drive them away to escape their playful attention? 180 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Many have tried, and a few have succeeded. 181 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Should we ever be able to understand these poltergeists? 182 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000 Poltergeists are a very tricky thing to work with, 183 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000 because sometimes they are a very short duration, 184 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000 a few weeks, a few months, then they're gone. 185 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000 But there are other poltergeist situations that will last year after year. 186 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000 To get rid of a poltergeist, the best thing is to get to the center 187 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000 of the trouble that is in the home. 188 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Most poltergeists feed on disruptive energy. 189 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Our job is to first determine what it is we're looking for, 190 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000 determine its nature, and then we determine its nature. 191 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000 We'll know why it's there, and then we'll know why it's there. 192 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000 We'll know how to get rid of it. 193 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000 These noisy manifestations seem determined to evade easy explanations. 194 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,000 Witness after witness report that poltergeists act like angry children. 195 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Frustrated, almost jealous of the living. 196 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000 Whatever they are, wherever they reside, 197 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000 they obviously seek something from our physical world. 198 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 We're playing a game we cannot understand. 199 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Perhaps someday we will learn the rules. 200 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000 The Secrets and Mysteries presents information based in part on theories and opinions, 201 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000 some of which are controversial. 202 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000 The producer's purpose is not to validate any side of an issue, 203 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000 but through the use of actualities and dramatic recreation, 204 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000 relate a possible answer, but not the only answer to this material. 205 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000 The Secrets and Mysteries presents information based in part on theories and opinions, 206 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000 some of which are controversial. 207 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Air transportation for Secrets and Mysteries provided by Delta Airlines. 208 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000 We love to fly and it shows. 209 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Hotel accommodations for Secrets and Mysteries provided by the Outrigger Wreath, 210 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000 one of 20 Outrigger Hotels located in beautiful Waikiki. 211 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Reservations see you travel agent. 212 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000 According to a recent poll taken in the United States, 213 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000 half of its population believed that the universe is inhabited by other intelligent life. 214 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Rest of the world cannot be far behind. 215 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,000 The 1950s witnessed a sharp increase in the number of sightings all around the world, 216 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 and with it more and more evidence that something unusual was happening in our skies. 217 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000 Even the United States government took notice, 218 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000 beginning an official Air Force investigation called Project Blue Book. 219 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Their files soon overflowed with more than 12,000 sightings. 220 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,000 These water beasts may well be the most ancient surviving inhabitants of our planet. 221 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000 Did I see the monster? 222 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000 I don't know, but I do believe that, you know, I saw, I obviously saw something, 223 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000 so I knew it was being able to tell me what I saw, 224 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000 so I think I must have seen the monster. 225 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Stonehenge, that place has become a metaphor for the magnificent, the unfathomable, and the mysterious. 226 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000 I have the feeling that the people who built it had something very strong in mind, 227 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000 maybe more than the astronomy and the worship, 228 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000 and I wish to goodness on you what it was, and maybe I never will. 229 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000 German scientist Fenerpund Braun is considered to be the architect of American Space Program. 230 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000 And Braun and his team took the technology from the German V-2 rocket, 231 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 which had been created for destruction, 232 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000 and applied it to the development of the chariots that would take man to new worlds. 233 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000 There's never been an astronaut who got on a spacecraft, 234 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000 whether it was Mercury, Apollo, or even Shuttle, 235 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000 who didn't fully understand the risk involved in who wasn't well-mintaken. 236 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,000 The only voyage of the Titanic was surrounded by bad luck that defies belief. 237 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000 Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. 238 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000 It was as if she was cursed. 239 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000 A cursed sunsay began when she was lost. 240 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000 When Captain Lee came back, he said there's nothing much there, and he struck her much first. 241 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000 This magnificent object is a symbol of genius, of ambition and of dedication, 242 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,000 for it is believed to have taken 30 years to construct, 243 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 and that construction is not the least of its miracles. 244 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,000 It stands as one of the most prominent monuments for its size and complexity, 245 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000 and also its lack of information about it. 246 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000 To be able to plan, to be able to do, to be able to do, to be able to do, 247 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000 and also its lack of information about it, 248 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:37,000 to be able to plan and economically accomplish such a large feat where the ferro is extraordinary. 249 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:48,000 This is the mark of Sasquatch, taken from a set of tracks that cover the five-mile stretch of dense forest. 250 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000 The depth of each print indicates that whatever made it weighed 800 pounds. 251 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000 800 pounds. 252 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000 And there's other, more dramatic evidence. 253 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,000 On a hot afternoon in October, Roger Patterson and a friend were riding through some woods in Northern California. 254 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Suddenly their horses shied. 255 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000 They looked ahead and saw something squatting by the creek. 256 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000 As the creature ambled away, Patterson took this film, 257 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000 the film that has been analyzed, debated and contested ever since. 258 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000 The film is a film by the director of the film, 259 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000 and it is a film by the director of the
