1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
On this edition of Sightings.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Vampires, are they real or the stuff that nightmares are made of?

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
The best thing about being a vampire is the taste of the blood.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Our researchers hunt for evidence in human skeletal remains and prove that vampires still exist.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Then, they were ordinary people until they had frightening visions of real life murders.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
It was as if someone had put a picture right in front of me.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
A fluke or psychic phenomena that could solve our most horrifying crimes.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And, our ongoing Bermuda Triangle investigation uncovers a startling piece of evidence

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
that may unlock the mystery of missing Flight 19.

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
This telegram is certainly a genuine telegram of the period.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
At that point, it started to appear.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
They had large, dark eyes, small, like hands.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I began sensing and knowing and feeling.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I do believe in life after death. I mean, I've been there.

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
We have not scratched the surface of what the mind can do.

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
It's a connection with the unknown.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Just about everything we know about vampires was created almost a hundred years ago

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
by Bram Stoker in his classic Gothic novel, Dracula.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
It's been the inspiration for countless stories and movies about a fictional character

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
with a taste for human blood.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
But today, in the United States, some people believe that vampires actually exist.

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
We think of vampires as a kind of a human being.

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
People believe that vampires actually exist.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
We think of vampires as part of Eastern European folklore,

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
or the result of Hollywood conjuring, not as the stuff of small-town America.

26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
But in the late 18th century, belief in the undead led to bizarre rituals

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
designed to keep the newly deceased from coming back to prey on the living.

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
The Connecticut countryside is dotted with old cemeteries.

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
In Griswold, a dark secret laid dormant for nearly two centuries

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
and has only recently been on Earth.

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
In Washington, at the prestigious Walter Reed Army Medical Center,

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
remains uncovered in Griswold were analyzed by Paul Sendzik,

33
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
a curator at the National Museum of Health and Medicine.

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
I was given a call by the state archaeologist in Connecticut

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
to help identify and analyze some skeletal material

36
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
that was found at this site in Griswold, Connecticut.

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
What happened was some kids had found a couple skulls laying at the bottom of a little ravine,

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
and they brought them to the police, and the police called the medical examiner.

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
They did some research into the records in that time period

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
and came up with vampire activity or vampire cults in the 18th and 19th century.

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Archaeologists probed the graves for mutilated corpses,

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
the telltale signs of suspected vampires.

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000
The next step in verification was determining the cause of death.

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Pretty evident to see the cause of death in the skeleton from Connecticut, the vampire skeleton.

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
There's evidence of tuberculosis in some of the upper left ribs,

46
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
and here we can see evidence here of this whitish area

47
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
that we're seeing close to the articulation with the vertebrae.

48
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Tuberculosis played a major role in the vampire folklore of the 1800s.

49
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000
It was believed that those who died of TB could come back and infect the living.

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
So a ritual developed to ensure that a corpse's eternal resting place really was eternal.

51
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
What they actually did was take the bones here in the chest and jumble them up,

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
like somebody had just taken their hand and kind of moved it around in that fashion.

53
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
They then took the two femur, the upper leg bones,

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
crossed this one here and this other one on top of it,

55
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
over across like that.

56
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
They then took the skull and placed that right in this area,

57
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
and then they closed the crypt back up.

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
The graves were opened anywhere from two weeks to a year after burial.

59
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Graves who'd dearly departed loved ones or anyone who died of tuberculosis.

60
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
What floored me is just that people could actually believe that someone dying of tuberculosis

61
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
could actually cause the death of loved ones.

62
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And there are accounts in New England, especially of the death of a person who died of TB.

63
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Especially of men going into the graves of their daughter and removing their hearts and burning them.

64
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
And fathers doing it to sons, sons doing it to fathers.

65
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I mean, very close family units.

66
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
There were probably lots of people attending these exhumations and killing of vampires.

67
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
And when you do read them, there can be upwards of 300 or 400 people.

68
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The whole town would probably turn out, you know, it's a major social event.

69
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Digging up wives, husbands, sons, daughters, and trying to kill them again.

70
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I mean, that's something that we couldn't even conceive of today.

71
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I couldn't imagine going in digging up the grave of my daughter and trying to kill her again.

72
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
There's something that completely would never enter my mind.

73
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
In many parts of America, you can still hear chilling tales of vampires today.

74
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
In Los Angeles, professor of folklore and author Noreen Dresser,

75
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
researches living vampires.

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Very often, the act of drinking blood is a prelude to sex.

77
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
People who call themselves vampires.

78
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Aha!

79
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
The corpse supposed to come to life at night and leave its grave and suck the blood of sleeping people.

80
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,000
If a person wants to dress in black and sleep during the daytime and be awake at night

81
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
and walk through the graveyards and listen to gothic music,

82
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,000
and that person's not hurting anyone, including the fact that that person might want to drink someone's blood

83
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000
and someone is willing to give it to them, I don't see where that's harming anyone.

84
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I'd say the best thing about being a vampire is the taste of the blood

85
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,000
and being with someone who trusts you and will let you drink their blood.

86
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Katrina is proof that vampire practices are real and still occur today.

87
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000
There are certain well-known criminals, for example, Richard Ramirez and Ted Bundy,

88
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
who in reports, there were just little side notes that they did drink blood from their victims,

89
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
but that was never presented as the main motivation for committing their crimes.

90
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
I would never do anything to a child or to an animal.

91
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
This is something that I've only done with a consenting adult.

92
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:36,000
They have to be willing to do this, and anyone that I've ever done anything like this with actually has enjoyed it.

93
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Some vampires attempt to take blood here from the carotid artery, however that's rather clumsy and it's also quite dangerous.

94
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:54,000
So this is not really used as often as using taking it from the arm.

95
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I can use an instrument like this, which is a medical scalpel. It's very sharp.

96
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,000
It can be sterilized with alcohol, so there won't be any infection, and it's painless.

97
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Blood is an acquired taste. The best place is somewhere on the arms or the hands,

98
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
and I'll just continue drinking until the wound stops bleeding.

99
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Sometimes this leads to a relationship where they say, well, that was kind of interesting.

100
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
I enjoyed it. Would you like to do it again sometime?

101
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000
You could be attacked, mugged, robbed, shot, killed on the freeway.

102
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I mean, our life is so fraught with dangers and fears that it's a lot more satisfying to focus on something scary

103
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
when we know what all the rules of that scariness are.

104
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Why does the myth of vampires still persist?

105
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Perhaps it's because we are still plagued by diseases and our lives are still precarious as they were in ancient times.

106
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
But unlike the rest of us, a vampire never gets sick, never grows old, and never dies.

107
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Coming up, they were ordinary people until they had frightening visions of real-life murders.

108
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
It was as if someone had put a picture right in front of me.

109
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
And later, what really happened to Flight 19 over the Bermuda Triangle?

110
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Startling new evidence may prove that the airmen survived.

111
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Sightings is brought to you by Simon and Schuster Interactive.

112
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Sightings the UFO Encyclopedia, the CD-ROM that will keep you updated on alien visits and abductions in real time.

113
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000
We now return to Sightings here on the Sci-Fi Channel.

114
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
There are people who have extraordinary powers of perception and make their living as professional psychics.

115
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:47,000
But tonight we'll meet ordinary people who suddenly, and for no apparent reason, have one striking psychic vision.

116
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
For them, that single clairvoyant moment becomes a living nightmare.

117
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
August 1990. The usually laid-back town of Gainesville, Florida was paralyzed with fear.

118
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Five violent murders within 40 hours. Five college students mutilated in their apartments and no arrests.

119
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Two years later, the case remains open.

120
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Over a thousand miles away, a successful businessman who has never been to Gainesville begins to experience nightmarish visions.

121
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Well, I walked out to the barn at about 9.30 at night and was taking care of the horses down there.

122
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And on my way back from the barn, I just happened to look up into the sky and I saw a window with a silhouette of a person in there.

123
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:46,000
A few weeks went by, I hit a premonition that I was going to meet this killer from Gainesville.

124
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
The very next day after the premonition, I did meet a gentleman from Gainesville.

125
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
For the past year, visions of a murder have haunted a man who's never had a psychic experience.

126
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
The images are so real, so frightening, that he's asked to remain anonymous and be referred to as John.

127
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
One morning, I just happened to see this vision of a dog. I had seen the head of a dog on the door.

128
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And after looking at him more thoroughly, I could actually see the dog's body.

129
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
After a couple of weeks, John began to see more and different images in the door.

130
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:32,000
A young girl, the state of Florida, an athletic field, a deer, a sickle.

131
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000
The images gave John no answers, only questions.

132
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And what is the average person to do when they start having what they believe are intuitive impressions about, say, a crime, a murder, a series of murders?

133
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
The spirit who was coming to me was a girl, a young girl.

134
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000
I had the feeling that this spirit was a girl about 20 or so years old, and she was one of the victims.

135
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,000
John wanted to go to the police, but he was afraid that if he told them what he'd seen, they might make him a suspect.

136
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
That is exactly what happened to California housewife Edda Smith 10 years earlier.

137
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and I was listening to a radio broadcast while at work.

138
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:34,000
And they said that they had found the lady's vehicle in Pacoima, I think on a dead end street, and that they were making a house-to-house search for her.

139
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,000
And as soon as they said house-to-house search, and that thought registered, it was as if someone said to me, she's not in a house.

140
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
I saw a picture. It was as if someone had put a picture right in front of me.

141
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Edda drove to a police station and revealed her startling insight to a homicide detective.

142
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,000
I explained exactly what would be the right-hand side with a dirt path tour, a hill behind her.

143
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:11,000
He suggested that I show him on a wall map where this area was, and that's when we discovered that it was Lopez Canyon.

144
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:21,000
I don't think I was thinking right, but I knew I had to go see for myself. I knew the police would never tell me, and I was afraid maybe they wouldn't look.

145
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Within minutes, Edda saw her vision become a horrifying reality.

146
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:36,000
As my eyes traveled further across the object, at the end of the object were white nurse's shoes.

147
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:44,000
On her way back down the canyon, she reported her grisly find to a ranger, shaken by the experience Edda then went home.

148
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Not long after, there was a knock at her door.

149
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000
She went home, and then subsequently she was brought down by the police department and arrested for the murder of this woman.

150
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:00,000
It took nine years and a jury trial before Edda was exonerated for doing what she thought was right.

151
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000
But how do you explain the source of her psychic experience, or John's startling visions?

152
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Somehow, John had to come to terms with the gruesome visions that had been haunting him.

153
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Psychic psychologist Keith Harari accompanied him to Gainesville to help him on his journey.

154
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
They visited the murder scenes in search of clues to the mystery.

155
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:30,000
When I was out having these visions, I would ask for something that I can only the police would know,

156
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,000
or that she could tell me one of them being that what was the murder weapon used.

157
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And she gave me a vision of a sickle.

158
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
And a sickle could be found in an area behind a football field.

159
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:55,000
And I also envisioned a tree and also a symbol of deer or some type of animal.

160
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000
One victim attended classes at the Gainesville Teaching Zoo, where not only are there deer,

161
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
but a parking lot under construction on top of what used to be an athletic field.

162
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I'm just an average person, okay, having a vision.

163
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
And that with that, they would look upon me as wacky.

164
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
The dead tree was the sign John was looking for.

165
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And with the supervision of Keith Harari, he began an intensive search for the murder weapon.

166
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Things that have happened to me all pertain to this Gainesville killing.

167
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And this spirit that has come to me is one of the victims.

168
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
And I feel it so strongly that I just can't let it go.

169
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
I have to follow this through as she wants me to do.

170
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:52,000
I feel that she wants to put an end to this and put this person in jail.

171
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
And I just can't let it go like that.

172
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Life is a mystery. And it's full of mysteries and it's full of situations in which you don't always get closure.

173
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
I mean, the healthiest thing to do in this case is to say,

174
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000
well, I don't know, I checked it out, I didn't find anything, go back to one's ordinary life,

175
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:19,000
and have a good life, open to the possibility that sometimes things happen that you can't explain.

176
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000
On June 9th, 1992, while this story was being shot, a new development.

177
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
A man named Danny Rowling was indicted for murder in the Gainesville case.

178
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
But Danny Rowling is not the man in John's visions.

179
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
John believes there's a second murderer who has not yet been caught.

180
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
And in fact, the Gainesville Police Department admits there may be a second murderer at large.

181
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
The investigation continues, and for John, so does the waking nightmare of his psychic visions.

182
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Turn to Sightings, here on the Sci-Fi Channel.

183
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000
I doubt if anyone will ever be able to solve this.

184
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
You know they were all lying.

185
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
East of Florida, north of Puerto Rico, south of Bermuda.

186
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
These are the parameters for a region some believe is a portal at the rim of reality.

187
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:59,000
This is the heart of the legendary Bermuda Triangle, the last stop on Earth for many who have dared venture within its boundaries.

188
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
For the last half century, men, women and children have mysteriously disappeared here without a trace.

189
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
And the Bermuda Triangle does not give up its secrets.

190
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
But now, one strange Western Union telegram may reveal the fate of at least one victim of the deadly triangle.

191
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Nearly a half century ago, on December 5th, 1945, the Bermuda Triangle claimed some of America's finest,

192
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
men who had survived World War II.

193
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:41,000
At 2 p.m., a squadron of Navy Aztec bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale on a routine three-hour training mission over the Atlantic Ocean.

194
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,000
At 3.45 p.m., Lieutenant Charles Taylor radioed in a distress call. He seemed to be disoriented.

195
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Both my compasses are out, he said. I'm over land, but it's broken.

196
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:05,000
sporadic broadcasts continued for the next three hours. Then, abruptly, all five planes lost radio contact with the telegram.

197
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:13,000
When we couldn't make contact with Taylor, things became, they became very frustrating.

198
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And then, when one thing went wrong, it seemed like everything went wrong.

199
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:29,000
The Navy launched a massive search and rescue operation, sweeping hundreds of nautical miles night and day, but no trace of the squadron was ever found.

200
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:39,000
No debris, no bodies, no oil slick. 14 men and five bombers vanished off the face of the earth.

201
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:49,000
You know, your mind plays all kinds of tricks, and you think all kinds of things, and you just can't come up with a complete answer.

202
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000
A strange rumor surfaced that the planes had not crashed into the ocean and that the crewmen were still alive.

203
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:05,000
This rumor was based on the theory that Flight 19 was not on a routine training mission, but instead was part of a top-secret Navy intelligence project.

204
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:12,000
The Navy was supposedly testing a new electromagnetic device believed to be more important than the atom bomb.

205
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:20,000
This device was thought to be capable of making any metallic object and the crew on board invisible.

206
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
It was called the Philadelphia Experiment.

207
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
50 years after Flight 19 disappeared, a haunting clue has surfaced.

208
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:38,000
On December 26, 1945, two weeks after the disappearance, Joseph Payoneso received a telegram signed by his brother George,

209
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
one of the crewmen who had vanished in the Bermuda Triangle.

210
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:48,000
The telegram read, You have been misinformed about me and very much alive, Georgie.

211
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:56,000
To check its authenticity, a Western Union official and a document expert examined the telegram.

212
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
They both verified it is not a fake.

213
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:11,000
This telegram is certainly a genuine telegram of the period and as for the contents, I leave that to someone else to judge.

214
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:20,000
When I saw the telegram and read it, I confirmed my suspicion that he was still alive.

215
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:27,000
I believe that the telegram that was sent is real because of the way he signed it.

216
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
They covered up something.

217
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
The top secret report on Flight 19 has recently been declassified.

218
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000
The document states that the flight, quote, disappeared for reasons or causes unknown.

219
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Does the Navy know more than they're admitting?

220
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000
I was very disillusioned with their whole procedure.

221
00:20:49,000 --> 00:21:00,000
I wrote hundreds and hundreds of letters which they shifted me from one naval base to another and to one captain to another.

222
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:09,000
They declared them dead due to drowning and I asked them to tell me how did they come to that conclusion.

223
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
And they said it was within their power and that was it.

224
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
The Navy continues to deny the existence of any project like the Philadelphia experiment.

225
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
They also deny that any of the men on Flight 19 survived.

226
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
They were all lying, all of them.

227
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Were the men of Flight 19 victims of a Navy experiment gone horribly awry?

228
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Or were they caught in the deadly vortex known as the Bermuda Triangle?

229
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Both possibilities are frightening to contemplate.

230
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Thanks for joining us. For Sightings, I'm Tim White. Good night.
