1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,460
Tonight on Sightings.

2
00:00:06,460 --> 00:00:09,000
What happened in this house is an absolute nightmare.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,080
A family that claims it's being sexually molested by a sinister entity.

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,780
It was trying to rape me.

5
00:00:14,780 --> 00:00:19,260
And a special investigation of a Pennsylvania town haunted by frightening close encounters

6
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:20,260
with UFOs.

7
00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:24,360
All of a sudden, these objects started coming up out of the treetops.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:56,680
Welcome to Sightings.

9
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,280
I'm Tim White.

10
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Thanks to you, we've received many home videos showing what may be the brief appearance

11
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800
of UFOs.

12
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,760
But one of the problems we face is that it's very difficult to analyze a one-time event.

13
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,640
Ufologists are looking for UFOs that appear again and again and offer a chance for closer

14
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,520
examination.

15
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Just such a series of UFO encounters is occurring in the skies above Pennsylvania.

16
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,680
A local resident sent us his startling footage.

17
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,080
The first reported sighting occurred in 1991 in Newton Township, just north of Scranton.

18
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Since then, dozens of people, including state and local police, have witnessed an unexplained

19
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,920
show of lights.

20
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,640
The first home video was shot by Gary Steyer.

21
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,480
He started monitoring the skies after his daughter, Kristi, reported a bizarre encounter

22
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,160
with the UFO.

23
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,720
I at first thought it was another car.

24
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,640
But I looked out towards the back of me and I noticed there was no car in the back of

25
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,640
me.

26
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360
I was adjusting the mirror and I noticed an object in the sky.

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,840
It was flying behind my car and I kept watching it in my rear view mirror and eventually it

28
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,240
went over to where I could see it looking out the window.

29
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,600
It kept following me, driving down the road.

30
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,040
And then I made a right hand turn to come up onto the road coming up towards my house

31
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,720
and this object made a right hand turn.

32
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,160
By this point I was getting really scared.

33
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,080
She drove into the driveway, ran up to the front door, came flying in the house and

34
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,200
said something was following her.

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,640
And then when she told me it was above her car, I didn't know what she was talking about.

36
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:42,120
Since Kristi had been the only one to experience the light phenomenon, the Steyer's thought

37
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,680
it must have been an isolated event.

38
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,920
But a few months later, the lights returned and this time the extraterrestrial display

39
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,840
was witnessed by more than just one person.

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,680
While driving home on January 8th, Gary and his wife Nadia saw unusual lights hovering

41
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,780
in the distance near their house.

42
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:01,800
They rushed home and Gary got out his video camera.

43
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,200
This time he was able to get the UFO on tape.

44
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,880
It was feeling great excitement because these things were happening right before your eyes.

45
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,120
You didn't know really what these lights were, what was happening.

46
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,040
It was like an adventure.

47
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,240
Being a respected school teacher, Gary Steyer was hesitant to call the authorities, fearing

48
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,920
public ridicule.

49
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,360
But when the lights continued hovering for several hours, he finally decided to alert

50
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,360
the police.

51
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,360
I have one emergency.

52
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,200
You want to report what?

53
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,920
And within a matter of minutes, Officer Cali arrived along with three state policemen.

54
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,960
And as I taped, they stood alongside of me with their handheld radios in my front yard.

55
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,720
The dispatcher told me he received a call from a resident in the community that there

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,800
was a strange object in the air above his house.

57
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,760
When he initially called me, he didn't want to give me anything but his street address.

58
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,280
He didn't want to give me his full name or phone number because he didn't want to be

59
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,840
associated with something that sounded this bizarre.

60
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,400
I didn't believe it initially when I received the call that I would do anything of substance

61
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400
to that I would see.

62
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240
I immediately panic saying, my police vehicle.

63
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:25,000
I looked up in the air and I saw four or five bright objects up in the air.

64
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,280
There's one right alongside of him.

65
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,280
There's one above the three towers.

66
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,720
Another one just blasted.

67
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Officer Cali called into his dispatcher and asked him to check with the local airport

68
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,480
tower to see if they were picking up anything on radar.

69
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,480
Lights.

70
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,480
All right.

71
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,480
Well, let me look.

72
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,000
It was one of those real crystal clear nights.

73
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
There wasn't a cloud in the sky.

74
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,280
We looked out the window over towards where he was talking about and sure enough, there

75
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:51,840
were some lights out there.

76
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,600
According to local sources, there were no commercial or military aircraft in the area

77
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,520
that night and nothing was picked up on radar.

78
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,160
But despite this, half a dozen witnesses reported seeing a UFO.

79
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:11,040
They had no aircraft in the area of the triple towers and that no airplanes were supposed

80
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,240
to be in that area and nothing was picked up on radar.

81
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,120
I felt that there was possibly a problem with the radar system.

82
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,360
Surely thereafter, he contacted me back and said that they checked it again and there's

83
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,440
nothing up there.

84
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,840
The lights appear to be most active over this area, Bald Mountain.

85
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:34,360
Pam Zekofsky is a local newspaper reporter who first broke the UFO story.

86
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,360
She was an impartial observer until she hiked to the top of Bald Mountain with UFO investigator

87
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,000
Irene MacDonald.

88
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,160
Near the summit, the two women had a terrifying encounter.

89
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,720
We were merely poking around, actually trying to see where Gary Steyer's house was from

90
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,520
the top of the mountain.

91
00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:02,360
Two men in a pickup truck pulled up, drove up the access road and they both got out.

92
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,640
One was older and one was younger.

93
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,200
They both had guns and they were incredibly angry.

94
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,240
They said, you're trespassing, you know you're trespassing, what are you doing up here?

95
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,920
I said we were just taking a walk in the winter.

96
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,120
I wasn't going to say.

97
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,200
We were up there looking for evidence of UFOs.

98
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:33,400
When I saw their intense anger and their guns, I knew that in 30 seconds or a minute I either

99
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,760
would be alive or I wouldn't be.

100
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:45,160
We agreed to leave, but we had only been up there probably maybe five minutes at the most.

101
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,920
And what's unusual is the fact that almost everybody at one time or another in this area

102
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:59,280
has climbed that mountain for exercise or recreation and never have been threatened with a gun.

103
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:04,280
Pam Zekoski never saw the two men again and believes they were not local.

104
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:08,920
She ran a search on their license plate number, but that has only deepened the mystery.

105
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,480
The plate number does not exist in any Pennsylvania motor vehicle record.

106
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
The identity of the two men is still unknown.

107
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,600
Could their appearance be somehow related to the unexplained lights in the area?

108
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:26,040
After the incident on Bald Mountain, the UFO activity has only increased and more witnesses

109
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,120
have come forward.

110
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,400
It was just about dusk and as we were there by the power lines, all of a sudden these

111
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,920
objects started coming up out of the treetops.

112
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,320
They were just everywhere, seeing wherever we turned.

113
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,800
There was another one.

114
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,160
I just remembered not hearing a sound.

115
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,160
But not everyone in the area believes the lights are UFOs.

116
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Karen and Bob Siemens own the airport in Factoryville, about 10 miles south of Bald Mountain.

117
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,480
They believe people are simply sighting their newly installed beacon.

118
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,920
I think because we had put a new beacon up and people in the area were not used to seeing

119
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,360
the light, I really think it's just too much of a coincidence.

120
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,960
Investigating the Siemens theory further, we took Gary Steyer's footage and overlaid

121
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,520
footage of the airport beacon taken from the same angle.

122
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Using the grid system, it appears impossible for the beacon and the lights to be one and

123
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,000
the same.

124
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,160
We also took the videotape to ufologist Jeff Sanyo.

125
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,760
After careful analysis, Sanyo has concluded that the lights are not conventional aircraft,

126
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,320
nor are they a hoax and they're definitely not emanating from the beacon.

127
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,280
My impression of this tape is that it certainly wasn't faked.

128
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,880
After all of the unusual lights are moving laterally and so an airport beacon light doesn't

129
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,120
move laterally.

130
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:48,520
So that couldn't explain any of the five interesting points that I found on this tape.

131
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,680
As if in response to increased interest in the lights, the UFO activity has subsided in

132
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:54,680
recent months.

133
00:08:54,680 --> 00:09:00,200
But the people of Newton Township keep their eyes and cam corners pointed to the sky, anticipating

134
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,720
the return of what some believe is an alien spacecraft.

135
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:10,400
All I know is that we taped some unusual lights and objects in the sky.

136
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,280
The night of January 8th did happen and I wasn't the only person that saw these things.

137
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,840
There were hundreds of other people who had similar experiences, but they didn't have

138
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,480
video cameras in their hands.

139
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:29,760
And all I can say about the tape is that it speaks for itself.

140
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,600
Right now, the skies near Scranton are quiet.

141
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,680
However, local residents say that the UFOs come in cycles and they're anticipating a

142
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:40,040
new wave of UFO encounters in coming months.

143
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Local police are ready to respond to any UFO calls that come in and are continuing to investigate

144
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,640
reports of the mysterious men who have yet to be identified.

145
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,080
Coming up next.

146
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,680
What happened in this house is an absolute nightmare.

147
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,480
A family that's under attack by a sinister entity.

148
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,480
He said make love to me.

149
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,040
People who investigate sightings of ghosts and apparitions often find that the sight

150
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,920
of the haunting has a mysterious, sometimes brutal past.

151
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,240
When one of our viewers called to report bizarre ghost activity in her house, our first step

152
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,680
was to look into the history of the house and we did find that it had been a place of misery

153
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:25,180
and torment.

154
00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:30,080
The evil began in 1984 in a small town in Central Maryland.

155
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,360
It's the kind of town that seems to promise the American dream.

156
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,400
But two brothers were living a nightmare in one house in this quiet town.

157
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,200
For a long time, it was their secret.

158
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,040
But the day the boys, age four and six, told their mother, she told the police.

159
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,200
What happened in this house to those two children is an absolute nightmare.

160
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480
The children were raped and molested repeatedly.

161
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:00,160
They weren't safe because of the danger they lived within and that danger lied in their

162
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,160
own father.

163
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,360
He was convicted of sexual child abuse.

164
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,240
But the boys insisted they were not the only victims.

165
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,040
They described the brutal rape and murder of an infant.

166
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,400
I don't think it's far-fetched to believe that a baby could be stabbed repeatedly, dismembered

167
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,600
and then decapitated and then literally tossed into a creek.

168
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,760
And of course that's what we believe happened in this particular circumstance.

169
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,280
The police found no proof of murder.

170
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,560
The father served just 18 months in prison.

171
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:33,880
The house, with its monstrous memories, was sold to another family.

172
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,600
Just six weeks after moving in, the new owner died suddenly, leaving his wife and three

173
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,800
daughters alone in the house they now believe is haunted by an entity they call the Beast.

174
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,040
This Beast has molested, raped, choked.

175
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,040
He's touched.

176
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,040
He's punched.

177
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,040
He's scratched.

178
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,240
And I just feel like it's getting stronger.

179
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,440
The first time something had happened to me, I was laying in my bed and I woke up for

180
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,320
no reason.

181
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,440
And I heard this breathing and I could feel it in my ear.

182
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:15,720
It was like, he said in a rude, deep voice, he was like, make love to me.

183
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,200
It was pinching my breast, very hard.

184
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,920
And it just squeezed me on my behind.

185
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,440
It was like I was being sexually assaulted.

186
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,880
It was taking itself and entering into my body.

187
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,520
The family fled the house and called sightings for help.

188
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,680
They sent this video, a record of the night the so-called Beast scratched the 13-year-old

189
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:40,680
daughter.

190
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:44,920
First he scratched me on the side of my face and it hurt to bed.

191
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Then he scratched me on this side of my face and it actually broke the skin down here and

192
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,520
it was bleeding.

193
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,840
And I was just crying hysterical.

194
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,480
And it was saying, your family can pay its respects now because you're mine.

195
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,040
And it was saying, you can run but you can't hide.

196
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,760
The family refused to return to the house alone.

197
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,920
Sightings agreed to send a team of ghost experts from the Office of Scientific Investigation

198
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,920
and Research.

199
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,000
When we go into a home to investigate, we look at first and foremost the environmental factors

200
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,520
that are contributing to the situation.

201
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,120
We look at the physiological elements and we look at the psychological elements of all

202
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,120
those in the family.

203
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,440
Specialists descended on the house armed with technology.

204
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,200
Their aim was to electronically document any appearance by the supposed Beast.

205
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760
We call it a Beast because of the size of it.

206
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:40,040
I remember I looked up and I could see it and it was just huge.

207
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,480
I was not imagining it.

208
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,320
I was not sleeping.

209
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,920
It was very, very real to me.

210
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280
And then I felt the tongue.

211
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,080
There was a very pointed tongue.

212
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,080
The thing pushed me back on the bed.

213
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,320
And when it did, I felt this extreme weight on me.

214
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,920
It started screaming at me, very raspy, very deep voice.

215
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,440
And it was like, wow, wow, wow.

216
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,360
And it just kept doing it and doing it.

217
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,520
And of course at this point I'm screaming.

218
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:16,520
I was laying in the bed next to her and her body, it was like her heels were on the bed

219
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,520
and her head and shoulders were on the bed.

220
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,680
But the rest of her body was arched up like a bridge.

221
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,120
I know without a doubt that it was trying to have sex with me and it was trying to rape

222
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,080
me and I was just paralyzed.

223
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,960
There was just nothing I could do.

224
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,600
It is terrifying.

225
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,480
It's not something to sit around the kitchen table and say, oh, haha, the ghost was calling

226
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,160
my name last night or the ghost wanted to have sex with me last night.

227
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,160
Isn't that funny?

228
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,240
It's not funny at all.

229
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Because of the women's terror, we had a security firm install 24-hour surveillance cameras

230
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040
throughout the house.

231
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,400
Investigative devices were also put in place for the night long vigil.

232
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,880
The team prepared to monitor the environment.

233
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Radioactivity changes in light and electromagnetism and the temperature, sound frequencies and

234
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,960
gravitational forces within the house.

235
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,480
The neighborhood was also scoured for evidence of unusual levels of pollution or energy from

236
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,000
power lines.

237
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Something to scientifically explain the phenomenon that plagues this family.

238
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,200
I've seen a tall man with a very skinny long arm.

239
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,640
It was just like a flash of light and it was so fast and it was at the end of the bed

240
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,480
and I just started on me.

241
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,440
Just like, pfft, just like did a belly flop right on me.

242
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,800
And I was like stuck in this position and I couldn't move and I was like, mom, mom,

243
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,280
but I could not get my voice out.

244
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,640
He was like pins and needles but it was coming from the inside out and said it outside and

245
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,040
it came off me and I just felt like my whole body just lifted right off the bed and I fell

246
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,040
down.

247
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,320
He was very frightened.

248
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,920
The first night back in the house, the family crowded into one bedroom and refused to turn

249
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,920
out the light.

250
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:54,920
I will.

251
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,920
I'll slow down.

252
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Good night.

253
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Good night.

254
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,040
Everyone say their prayers.

255
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,680
They tossed and turned, five in one bed, four other bedrooms empty.

256
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,680
They were feet of freezing.

257
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,680
Would you shut up?

258
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Kisses to the mid-night.

259
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,680
I'm going to make a crunch.

260
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680
Let's rest.

261
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,000
After midnight, one daughter came into the living room for a cigarette.

262
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,400
It's about two o'clock in the morning and this usually seems to be the time when it'll

263
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,400
start building up and you'll start hearing sounds in the house.

264
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Anything's going to happen and by three is usually when it gets to the peak.

265
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,920
If everybody's sleeping in the house, it's quiet.

266
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920
That's when it seems like it's the strongest.

267
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:41,560
I feel like it's here and I wish if it was, it would just show itself or do something.

268
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,120
The night passed without incident.

269
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,600
Day two brought more tests.

270
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,280
Psychiatrist Elizabeth Tard worked with the family.

271
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,400
It feels like your heart is beating very hard against your chest.

272
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720
I feel like I can't breathe.

273
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,160
I felt like I was dying.

274
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,480
Technician John Porre conducted physiological tests.

275
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,040
The family agreed to sleep that night with the lights out, hence wired to measure sleep

276
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,920
patterns and dreams.

277
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,120
Our camera was equipped with a night lens to photograph the house in darkness.

278
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:16,040
Christopher Shacone monitored the sensing equipment.

279
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,960
This was one night the women wanted something to happen, but again, the house was silent.

280
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,320
Everything that we saw in the house on New Jersey Road and everything that's been told

281
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,960
to us by the family members could be rationally explained in one way or another according

282
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,600
to the laws of nature and physics.

283
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,520
I still feel as strongly as we did in the first interview that those things happen in

284
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,520
reality.

285
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,040
They actually did happen and they happen the way that I explained them.

286
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,280
It's the eternal question for paranormal investigators.

287
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,840
If nothing happens, is it all a hoax?

288
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Or is the terror the family calls the beast lurking in the background waiting for the

289
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,280
investigators to leave before it will return?

290
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,200
I still feel there's a lot of evil in this house.

291
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:06,120
I think that it's the devil personally and I don't think it's finished.

292
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:10,520
The inability to catch a ghost on tape has proven to be the ultimate frustration for

293
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,960
investigators like Christopher Shacone.

294
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:19,040
They continue to work on new, less obtrusive methods of studying ghosts and haunting phenomenon.

295
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Until then, the only proof we have that ghosts and poltergeists exist rests with eyewitness

296
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,760
testimony.

297
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,640
Coming up next, meet the real life victim of the alien abduction behind the upcoming

298
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,240
movie Fire in the Sky.

299
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,560
They had these big bulging heads and huge eyes.

300
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:43,760
In 1975, Travis Walton, a logger from Snowflake, Arizona, disappeared without a trace.

301
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:49,920
Five friends who were with Walton when he vanished swore that he'd been abducted by an alien spacecraft.

302
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,640
Each witness passed a lie detector test telling the same story.

303
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,120
The reported abduction is one of the most well-documented claims of an alien encounter

304
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:00,160
on record.

305
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,680
Travis Walton's alleged abduction from an Arizona logging camp is now a motion picture

306
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,760
titled Fire in the Sky.

307
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,520
The dramatic details of Walton's story are unnatural for abduction to the big screen.

308
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,000
The ufologists believe that Walton's experience is more than just a story.

309
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,640
They believe it is a true account of an alien abduction.

310
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:24,120
We have a saying here once a contactee or once a witness, it's always so because it's

311
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:28,200
an event that you will never forget.

312
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:34,360
Are aliens with sinister motives abducting humans for bizarre experimentation?

313
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,280
Travis Walton believes that's what happened to him.

314
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,640
Sightings took an emotionally scarred Walton and eyewitness Mike Rogers back to the site

315
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,640
of the alleged abduction 17 years before.

316
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,760
As we're coming up this road here we can kind of see a light filtering through the trees.

317
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,400
My first reflex was that this thing was just going to take right off, you know, that we

318
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,520
were just going to get a glimpse of this thing.

319
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,840
Just as soon as it stopped I threw open the door and I started running towards it and

320
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,760
then I realized, you know, it's a thing going anywhere.

321
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,720
I started to think twice about what I was doing and as I got closer I kind of got slower

322
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,720
and slower.

323
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,280
I turned back around like this and I could see Walton, he's flying backwards through

324
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,280
the air.

325
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,680
I hit the ground when I saw that happen, everything was just too much and I hit the gas and we

326
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,680
were gone.

327
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,520
When I regained consciousness I was in a lot of pain.

328
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,600
I saw these creatures.

329
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,800
They were small, humanoid looking, you know, like they had two arms and two legs and two

330
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,800
eyes.

331
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,800
They had these big bulging heads and these huge eyes.

332
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,680
Those eyes were the hardest thing for me.

333
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:46,480
You know, I couldn't look at them and it seemed like they were looking right through

334
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,960
me.

335
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,160
Screenwriter Tracy Tormay has spent eight years bringing this abduction story to the

336
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,160
screen.

337
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,800
He is convinced that Travis Walton and his fellow loggers are telling the truth.

338
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,200
I suddenly came to realize that this incident was a curse to them.

339
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,600
It was something that had happened to them rather than some kind of happy, you know,

340
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960
close encounter type of experience.

341
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,640
As Travis Walton's experience, hundreds of others have come forward to tell similar

342
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,640
stories.

343
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,640
They share with Walton the nagging fear that someday the aliens will come back with them.

344
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,480
The question has come, do we think Travis will have a second encounter?

345
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,800
With no way of predicting that, we don't consider this case closed.

346
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,440
It's still open.

347
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,000

354
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:57,280
Do sea monsters really exist?

355
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,280
It was scary.

356
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,280
It was that big.

357
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,360
I started screaming in fear.

358
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,640

Residents of New York's Lake Champlain claim to have their own Loch Ness monster.

360
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,440
I started screaming.

361
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,000
It turned and it looked at me.
