1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
on this edition of Sightings.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,500
All I can see was a bright light straight above me.

3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:07,000
And there was three of them to the west, right on the horizon.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
In Idaho, a series of UFO sightings has residents terrified.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I feel uncomfortable in the dark because there's something out there.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Then, at Hollywood's Nickerbocker Hotel,

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
past tragedies replay nightly like an old movie.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Some sort of psychic scar exists so powerful

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
that it would remain even to this day.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Plus, doctors gave up hope,

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
but this man emerged from a coma despite the odds.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It was the neurologist's opinion that there was no hope.

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Later, if they had followed an ancient Chinese philosophy,

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
would Bruce Lee and his son be alive today?

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Bruce Lee laughed it off. He refused to take it seriously.

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And, as sightings updates, in Mexico City,

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
an airline pilot says he barely avoided a mid-air collision

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
with an extraterrestrial crowd.

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Music

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Most UFOs, as many as 80% according to our experts,

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
can be dismissed as military aircraft

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
misidentified by civilian eyes.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
But sightings over populated areas can't be written off in this way.

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
The Air Force says that they don't fly

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
highly experimental craft over populated areas.

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
So now, a rash of sightings between Spokane, Washington,

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho have people wondering,

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
just what are they?

30
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Over there, at the top of those trees over there,

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
there was a bright light shining.

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And it was like they were putting on a laser show.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
They turn up on their sides and you see, like, laser beams of light.

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I called the Post Falls Police Department,

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
and they came out, and this gentleman was a sergeant.

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
He asked us what we thought we were looking at.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
At this point, I handed him my bedocklers,

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
and I said, look for yourself.

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
He immediately reported the same thing that we were seeing.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Beginning on March 2, 1994,

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
people in the small town of Post Falls, Idaho,

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
started seeing UFOs.

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Post Falls Police.

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Emergency communications officer Chris Euler

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
took the first UFO calls.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Well, it was on graveyard shift,

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
and we had reports that people were seeing twinkling lights.

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
They were kind of nervous and said there's something floating in the sky.

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Well, the first thing we did was run outside

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
and look and see if there really was something in the sky,

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
and there was a white light,

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
and there were colored lights kind of rotating around it.

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
There was red, green, blue, purple, and a gold colored light,

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
and they were flashing systematically.

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
That night, the police switchboard received several calls of concern.

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Post Falls wanted answers, but the authorities were stumped.

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
They began referring many of the callers to Jerry Rowles.

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
I'm a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Air Force,

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
and I am the Assistant State Director for Washington State

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
of the Mutual UFO Network.

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
We use scientific methodology in our field investigative procedures.

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
We also interface with various other organizations

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
to include astronomical societies, the Air Force,

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
the Sheriff's Department,

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
the United States Meteorological Offices,

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
and the Federal Aviation Agency to try to rule out

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
what the objects may not be.

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
We've recently had an increased number of reports here in the area

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
of Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls area,

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
and the people have been reporting a nebulous type of lights

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
that are observed in the night sky.

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
It was very shallow like, two shallow saucers placed together.

73
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
The only lights on it were on the bottom.

74
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
There was the big one that I keep mentioning.

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
In the center was a recessed amber light.

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And there was three of them to the west, right on the horizon.

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Then we saw an aircraft coming in from the east.

78
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
At that point, we happened to glance back to the west,

79
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
and these three just took off, which straight up,

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
and the lights went out.

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
The aircraft went on by, and we discussed this.

82
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
We stood and watched it for a little while,

83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
and pretty soon the lights come back down.

84
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
The three of them come right back down in the same position.

85
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
This amateur videotape, exclusive to sightings,

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
is the only known visual record of one of the UFOs.

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
The object's brilliance and unusual flight pattern

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
does seem to rule out the possibility

89
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
that it is a celestial body or a conventional aircraft.

90
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Sightings of bright UFOs continue to be reported in post-falls

91
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
and surrounding communities.

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
In nearby Newman Lake, Washington,

93
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
one man had a frightening encounter on a lonely stretch of road.

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Two nights ago, I was driving down West Newman Lake Road,

95
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
a little before midnight.

96
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
There's a field there. I usually stop and look at the deer.

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
All of a sudden, a blinding white light came from directly above me.

98
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
I slowed down, opened the door, looked up.

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
All I could see was a bright, round,

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
incredibly bright light straight above me.

101
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
I looked at it for maybe nine or ten seconds.

102
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Couldn't figure out what it was.

103
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Immediately became incredibly frightened.

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Slammed my door, and I drove away as fast as I could.

105
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
As soon as I went to leave, the light was gone.

106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
It vanished. As I was driving away, I was probably as scared as I've ever been in my life.

107
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I headed straight to a house, not too far away, down the road, a friend's house.

108
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I could tell he was very serious because he was so scared.

109
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
I've never seen him shake. He actually was just shaking,

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
and very pale, no color to him.

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I was in the military, and I've been on bases.

112
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
This light was not something I've ever seen on any aircraft.

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
It would have to be something incredibly large.

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,000
I can't imagine the light would have to be 50 yards across to do this.

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It was huge.

116
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Later that night, local police put Dean in contact with Jerry Rouse.

117
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Rouse immediately called each of his considerable military and civilian contacts about the event.

118
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
I have pretty well ruled out any type of encounter with an aircraft.

119
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Based on the interface that I had with the Air Force,

120
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I can only say what the object was not.

121
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
According to Rouse, it was not a commercial airliner or conventional military aircraft,

122
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
but many residents in the area think they know what Dean encountered,

123
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
the same type of UFO they themselves have witnessed.

124
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
The same type of UFO captured on videotape just days before.

125
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
If somebody told me the same story, I would say,

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
yeah, sure, whatever, you know, I don't believe you.

127
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
You have to be there.

128
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Ever since what happened two nights ago,

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
obviously I don't stop in the same place.

130
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
I feel uncomfortable in the dark,

131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
not because I think there's a monster out there waiting for me,

132
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
but because there's something out there,

133
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
and I didn't see what was behind the light.

134
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000
A disturbing new development has just been reported by sources in Idaho.

135
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
The sightings are continuing,

136
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
and where UFOs have been observed,

137
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
ranchers are reporting cattle mutilations.

138
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Sightings is conducting an ongoing investigation

139
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
in the connection between these new sightings

140
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
and the suspicious mutilations.

141
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Next, a healer reaches out to coma patients with miraculous results.

142
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
I knew then that Peter was making an effort to recover.

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Deciding when to remove life support from a loved one

144
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
is an agonizing decision for any family.

145
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Roger LeBord is a self-styled healer

146
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
who claims he has the power to communicate with coma-toe's patients

147
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
and find out what they want.

148
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Airborne reporter and pilot Peter Peelegraine

149
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
was Denver's eye in the sky.

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
But on February 12, 1992,

151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Peter's career came to a crash.

152
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
His engine failed, and he didn't have anywhere to go,

153
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
but the reservoir.

154
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
So it took him 45 minutes to actually affect a rescue,

155
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
which they finally did with a rescue boat.

156
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
And Peter had lost consciousness

157
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
and was floating on top of the water.

158
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
They airlifted him to the hospital.

159
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
He didn't have a heartbeat for the first 45 minutes.

160
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
When he got to the hospital, he went to the hospital

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
and he went into surgery.

162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
The doctors came out and told me that he had been clinically dead.

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000
He made it through the surgery and was in a deep coma.

164
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Peter was a boisterous transplant from Australia,

165
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
a family man, a fun-loving, joyous father of five.

166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
It was hard to imagine that a man so full of life

167
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
could now be on the brink of death.

168
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
But he was.

169
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
The doctors told me that with the results of the EEG

170
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
that the prognosis was getting worse

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
and that I needed to start thinking about making a decision

172
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
to either end his life or not.

173
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Her decision was to put her husband's life in the hands of a man

174
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
she had never met, Roger LeBord.

175
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
I can't explain to you just exactly what I do

176
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
because in the four separate cases that I've worked with,

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
they've all been different.

178
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Roger LeBord claims that he has used a unique psychic gift

179
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
to successfully communicate with four separate coma patients.

180
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
All four instances, they were going to pull life support

181
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
and let them die and it was the neurologist's opinion

182
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
that there was no hope.

183
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Roger arrived about 10.30 and I said,

184
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
well, why don't you get some rest and we'll go over in a few hours

185
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
and be with him and he said, no, it's really better if I start now.

186
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Then Roger put his hands on Peter and Peter's arm

187
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
and I laid my hand on his other arm

188
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
and all of a sudden I got this really strange sensation

189
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
of sort of electricity in my stomach

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
and I just thought I can't deal with this right now.

191
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
I can't.

192
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And so I said, well, I'm going to leave you alone

193
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
and I'm going to go back and try and get some sleep.

194
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
I sat in the room for four hours doing my best to blank my mind.

195
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
What came to me was to go over and start talking to Peter

196
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
about walking through a field of flowers

197
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and I described to him what the flowers looked like, the smells.

198
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
I described the surroundings and then I said to him,

199
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
I said, you know, Peter, when you're walking through a field of flowers

200
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
you have to move your feet

201
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
and that's when he began to move his feet under the sheet.

202
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I knew then that Peter was making an effort to recover and make contact.

203
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
The doctor came in that night and asked me if I'd made a decision

204
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
and I said, well, Peter's made a decision and I think he's coming back.

205
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
For the next four weeks, LeBord continued to communicate with Peter

206
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
through directed visualization.

207
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Peter seemed to be responding.

208
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
When you have someone who is not able to move

209
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
and someone who's not able to speak

210
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
and their focus of attention is elsewhere,

211
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
to communicate with him you have to be creative,

212
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
you have to figure out some other way to communicate with him.

213
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
My discovery was that there's a way of doing that energetically.

214
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
What I was saying to him, which I did verbalize to him later,

215
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
that I was there to help him to stay or go,

216
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
but I needed to know what he was going to do.

217
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
But the four successful cases LeBord has worked on

218
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
do not convince the medical community that his technique works.

219
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
If someone's deeply unresponsive by nature of the definition,

220
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
they don't respond to my questioning,

221
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
nor to the nurses, you know, or other people.

222
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Dr. Philip Yarnel is one of Denver's leading neurologists.

223
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He believes that coma patients are neither physically nor mentally capable

224
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
of responding to communication of any kind.

225
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
We think that they have hearing in that the transmission of sounds

226
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000
from clicks in the ears to recordings on the brain are often intact.

227
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Now whether they hear as we hear so that we interpret sounds as voices

228
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000
or as the messages of loved ones, that we can't tell.

229
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
But some recovered coma patients claim that their personal experience

230
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
has been just the opposite.

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
I had the experience that's classically described as the near-death experience

232
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
where you see the blinding light lights and feel the overwhelming sense of

233
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
compassion and forgiveness and peacefulness.

234
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
In 1991, Mary Kay Blakely fell into a diabetes-induced coma.

235
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
For nine days she lay in a New York City hospital

236
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
while friends and family kept around the clock vigil.

237
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Unlike most coma patients, Mary Kay claims that she can recall the thoughts

238
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
and feelings she experienced while she was comatose.

239
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
She's chronicled her ordeal in this book, Wake Me When It's Over.

240
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I imagined that I was in prison and couldn't, I spent the whole nine days

241
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
trying to figure out what I had done to land there.

242
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
You lose all measurements of time.

243
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
There's no day, there's no night.

244
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Felt no pain, I felt no air, I felt no breath, I felt no heartbeat.

245
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
It was very relaxing.

246
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
You wanted to stay in that state forever.

247
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Mary Kay gives a lot of the credit for her recovery to her sister,

248
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
who maintained a continuous one-way dialogue at Mary Kay's bedside.

249
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
She thought it was her personal mission to give me some reason to come back,

250
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
so maybe it made a difference.

251
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Dr. Arnold Mindell is a clinical psychologist who has spent 20 years studying the coma state.

252
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He challenges the mainstream belief that deep coma is synonymous with brain death.

253
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
He believes it is simply an altered state of consciousness.

254
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Years from today, people are going to look back on this period of medicine

255
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
and dealing with comatose states and they are going to say,

256
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
my God, wow, we were making decisions to pull the tubes on this character

257
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
without asking her or him or any trying to communicate with them.

258
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
The goal is not to get the person to awake and the goal is not to get the person to die.

259
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
The goal is to follow nature.

260
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I don't think that Roger is a prophet or a saint.

261
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I think that he has found a calm and a knowledge and a wisdom of the heart.

262
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
He helped us. There's no question of that.

263
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Never give up.

264
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Only until the individual in the coma states that they want to go,

265
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
then I would say be responsible and follow their wishes and pull life support.

266
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
But don't give up hope.

267
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Every day he gets a little bit better, but the improvements are in millimeters.

268
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
You know, they're not in feet or yards. They're tiny.

269
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
And everyone is a hard fought victory.

270
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
And he amazes me how hard he works for things.

271
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
But a sense of humor is intact.

272
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
He still comes up with some great one-liners.

273
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
And he's still here. He's still part of us.

274
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
He's still here for us to love. To love us.

275
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Healers like Roger LeBord and Dr. Arnold Mendel want you to know that they do not consider themselves an alternative to licensed physicians.

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Credible healers work with medical doctors to provide additional support.

277
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
No one should rely on psychic healing without consulting their family doctor first.

278
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Next, if an ancient Chinese tradition is not followed, believers say they could face disaster.

279
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Those who refuse to take it seriously do so at their own peril.

280
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Most people believe that good luck comes by chance. You either have it or you don't.

281
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
There are, of course, all kinds of superstitious methods to improve good luck,

282
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
like a pinch of salt over the left, not the right shoulder, for example.

283
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000
But the Chinese believe that there is a scientific system for improving good luck.

284
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
It's called feng shui.

285
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,000
It is the belief that the perfect harmony in nature must be respected and reflected in what humankind creates.

286
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
It's absolutely not something you can see.

287
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
It absolutely has to do with the forces of yin and yang.

288
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Yin and yang being male and female are light and dark or good or bad.

289
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
And there's an intersection of these forces in any one location, according to the theory.

290
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And because of that, there are good locations and there are bad locations.

291
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Feng shui teaches that a spiritual energy called qi flows freely in nature.

292
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000
But man-made structures like buildings or even tombstones can interrupt that vital flow

293
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
and cause bad luck, disharmony, even death.

294
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Martial arts star Bruce Lee did not heed feng shui advisers when he built his Hong Kong estate

295
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
and when he chose a burial site for his father.

296
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Both Bruce Lee and his son Brandon died tragically before their turn.

297
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Bruce Lee lived in a house in Hong Kong in 1972-73, just prior to his death.

298
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
One of the Chinese feng shui experts had come and told him this house was a very bad location,

299
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
that he shouldn't live here. And Bruce Lee laughed it off.

300
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He refused to take it seriously.

301
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,000
He had basically said, I don't care about the old way, I have a new way, I'm going to show you there's a better way.

302
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Turning his back on the old ways may have helped Bruce Lee cross over into international fame.

303
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
But feng shui experts believe it also disrupted the flow of qi around him

304
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
and contributed to his death by cerebral edema.

305
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Everybody is governed by qi, so we say qi is a real knee.

306
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:05,000
The body's metabolism is only a shell, and when the qi is very smooth, then he will have a healthy body.

307
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Feng shui master Yun Lian believes illness is caused by bad qi.

308
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
He claims to have healed many people by instructing them in methods that improve the flow of qi.

309
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Mimi Tsai was given a number of suggestions about the placement of objects in her home

310
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000
to counter the effects of an abdominal tumor she'd carried around for 19 years.

311
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:30,000
At that time, I just want to die. I don't want to live. It's very hard for me.

312
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
But my mother, she was worried about me very much.

313
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000
She tried to call Professor Lin, and luckily I talked to him on the phone.

314
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:50,000
I hope to use my qi over the phone. I imagine the light of 10,000 Buddhas shining on her.

315
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And he told me, don't worry. In two weeks, you will find a person who can help you.

316
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Two weeks after implementing Professor Lin's feng shui principles,

317
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Mimi Tsai met Stanford Medical Center surgeon Dr. Harry Oberholmen.

318
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:13,000
When I first saw Mimi Tsai, she had a very large abdominal tumor,

319
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
which filled her entire abdomen and pelvis.

320
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:24,000
The tumor weighed, I believe it was in excess of 3 kilograms, which is about 6.5 pounds.

321
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Using the combined forces of Western medicine and Eastern philosophy, Mimi is once again healthy.

322
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I recovered very fast. Even the nurse, the doctor, they think, oh, it's a miracle.

323
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000
How can you recover so fast?

324
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Professor Lin also works with the terminally ill.

325
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,000
William Whitson recalls consulting Professor Lin on behalf of a colleague at the Library of Congress.

326
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
This one case involves a member of my staff in the Library of Congress,

327
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,000
whose father had a apparently incurable neurological disease.

328
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,000
The paralysis had begun at his feet and had gradually gone all the way to his waist, and he was in a wheelchair.

329
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000
So I introduced the young man to Professor Lin, and Professor Lin looked at him and he said,

330
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
your father has lived in this house for 50 years. Is that right?

331
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And the young man was surprised and said, yes.

332
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Professor Lin said, now that I know this, the way to solve his problem is to take an 8-foot pole,

333
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:33,000
sink it 2 feet in the ground behind the house about midway on the long axis, and he will be all right.

334
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:40,000
The moment that pole was sunk into the ground, he began healing, and he's all right today. He's out playing golf.

335
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:53,000
All of your bad luck has been removed. All of your bad luck, your illness, negative forces all have been removed.

336
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
The power of feng shui is intangible. It cannot be isolated in a laboratory or a test tube.

337
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000
We have only the personal experiences of those who have felt its power as proof of its existence.

338
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:16,000
When Brandon Lee died, there was information that came out at the location of the grave of Bruce Lee's father,

339
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Brandon Lee's grandfather, was a very bad omen for the family.

340
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:27,000
He's buried on a hillside in a cemetery above Hong Kong that an expert in feng shui had come to them and said,

341
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
this is a very bad location, and it's going to cause your family great difficulty.

342
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
But the Lee family did not heed the warning. The grave was never moved.

343
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Feng shui experts are convinced that ignoring their warning killed Bruce and Brandon Lee,

344
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
and that heeding feng shui principles spared the life of Mimi Tsai.

345
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:54,000
There's something there, and those who refuse to take it seriously do so at their own peril.

346
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:01,000
If you'd like more prosperity, health, and good fortune, feng shui experts have this suggestion.

347
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Hang metal wind chimes just outside your front door.

348
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:12,000
The chimes will help direct the flow of chi or good energy into your home every time the door is opened.

349
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Coming up, a psychic believes she knows what happened to a missing boy.

350
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
He's been moved twice.

351
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Then, do Hollywood tragedies haunt this landmark, and later, a pilot in Mexico City

352
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
barely avoids a collision with an extraterrestrial craft?

353
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Every year in this country, more than one million children disappear.

354
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Many run away. Some are taken by a non-custodial parent,

355
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
and a few just seem to vanish without a trace.

356
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Eight-year-old Danny Hohnstein vanished in 1992.

357
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
His mother has never given up hope of finding him,

358
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
and through her recent contact with psychic Greta Alexander,

359
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000
she has reason to believe that Danny is alive.

360
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Danny was a real happy boy.

361
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
He was very friendly to people.

362
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
He wasn't really scared, I don't think, around here.

363
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Danny Hohnstein's mother speaks about her only son in the past tense,

364
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,000
because she has not seen, heard, or touched him since 1992, when Danny vanished.

365
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
I mean the order of what we call an all-call,

366
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
which sent out all our search and rescue available units to the area.

367
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,000
The tiny town of Paradise in Butte County, California,

368
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
had never had a missing child case like this one.

369
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Law enforcement officials and search and rescue personnel

370
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
marshaled every resource they could to find Danny.

371
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,000
We had search and rescue from, as far as the Oregon border, Nevada,

372
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,000
and down below the Bay Area, throughout California, come national guards assisted.

373
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000
We had dogs, we had highway patrol, FBI, everybody assisted in this whole.

374
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Investigator Vern Kelch headed up the search,

375
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
concentrating his forces in the canyon bordering Danny's house.

376
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Most of us assumed that he was probably in the canyon,

377
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
but we were still going to work it from both angles.

378
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
But from the beginning, Jackie had a gut feeling that her son was not in that canyon.

379
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I thought he was kidnapped, that somebody come and picked him up off the road,

380
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
because I never believed that he would go into the canyon.

381
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Every search you could possibly imagine, including floor units from,

382
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,000
which was a heat seeking device, and it was, and without any trace at all in the canyon.

383
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
The first significant clue in the case didn't come until three days later.

384
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
A neighbor's puppy was discovered near the canyon.

385
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
The people in the neighborhood told me after Danny disappeared

386
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,000
that they'd seen him with the dog earlier that day.

387
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
The puppy was found, but Danny was not.

388
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,000
To this day, no one knows whether Danny Hoensteen is alive or dead.

389
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Where's Danny? Is the bottom line?

390
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
The search has been ongoing for over two years.

391
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Law enforcement agencies, search and rescue teams, family, friends,

392
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
and compassionate strangers have all combed the area.

393
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,000
But now the search turns in a new direction, to a farmhouse in Delavan, Illinois,

394
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
and psychic Greta Alexander.

395
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:25,000
I consider that the ability that had been laid in my heart is a gift and a talent.

396
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And it comes through me, not from me.

397
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Where detective work has so far failed, Greta believes her psychic ability will succeed.

398
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
She concentrates on a palm print provided by Danny's mother.

399
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
The hand is a servant of the brain, and when you look at the hands,

400
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
you'll find tiny little lines, and it's like a roadmap.

401
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Every line tells a story.

402
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
It looks to me like that he is still alive,

403
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:58,000
and it looks to me like that he's been moved twice,

404
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
and that there's a third move coming up,

405
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
and that move is what's going to be bringing them back together.

406
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
After studying the print, Greta revealed startling facts about the case

407
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
that only police and Jackie knew about.

408
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
She was then allowed to touch a piece of Danny's clothing.

409
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
I feel like I am Danny, and I feel like I was playing out.

410
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
And the next thing I know, I hear the dog barking,

411
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
and I feel like that there's a gentleman here, and he's got the dog, you know,

412
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
and he's holding the dog, and he's telling Danny to come and help him.

413
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
And the next thing I know is it's either like a suburban,

414
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
or a truck of some type, or a,

415
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
but it's like an enclosed vehicle here.

416
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000
And then the next thing that I know is I'm being transported

417
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
or taken from one place to another, and the dog does not go.

418
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000
The person that accosted this young man does wear a uniform.

419
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,000
He has a dress code or something here that he wears in his work.

420
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
I feel money exchanged.

421
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Electro to the officer, please.

422
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Greta Alexander asked to be put in direct contact with investigator Vern Kelch.

423
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Well, first of all, I feel like that I am he.

424
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Are you still living in the area?

425
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
No, I have moved.

426
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
I want to go to Oklahoma.

427
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
I feel like I've been moved three times.

428
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I feel like that I am okay.

429
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I feel like I'm with other people around me.

430
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And that what I thought about my parents is that they are not able to care for me.

431
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And so you're now in Oklahoma, and you're being cared for by somebody there.

432
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Is that correct?

433
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
I am loved.

434
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
I am loved.

435
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
And this is still you feel in Oklahoma.

436
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Is that right?

437
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
I feel like there will be a move, and I feel like when there's a move,

438
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
then there will be new news that will be heard.

439
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
According to Greta Alexander, this is what happened.

440
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Danny was approached by a man he knew the man was wearing a uniform.

441
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
He used a black puppy to lure Danny into a pickup truck or van.

442
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
They drove to Oklahoma, and most importantly, Greta believes Danny is still alive,

443
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
and that he will soon be reunited with his mother.

444
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
And how soon do you see this move coming?

445
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
It looks like in March there will be some changes.

446
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
When investigator Kelch related the conversation to Jackie,

447
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
it jarred her memory about an incident that had occurred just before Danny's disappearance.

448
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Danny was very happy with going to school until the last month or so.

449
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,000
It's when he started not wanting to go to school.

450
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,000
And now I feel kind of strange about that since Greta came up with the facet

451
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:06,000
that maybe it was somebody at school that was trying to befriend him, and he was scared of.

452
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,000
I really hope Greta can help us with this case.

453
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
She's talking to her.

454
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,000
She's giving me things that should be followed up on and will be followed up on.

455
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Things that she would have had no way of knowing, and that do pertain to the case.

456
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:35,000
And I feel that there is something there, and we do need to follow up on the leads that she has given us.

457
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:43,000
I just miss all of him, every little bit of him. Everything.

458
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Using psychic detective Greta Alexander has been a help and a comfort to Jackie Carter and her family,

459
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
and will update you on the progress of her search.

460
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000
But it is also very important that anyone with information about Danny Hoenstein or other missing children

461
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

462
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Next, witnesses believe that Hollywood legends who died tragically haunt this hotel.

463
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
It is very possible that her spirit is one of those that haunts this area.

464
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Once upon a time, the Nicarbaca Hotel was the toast of Hollywood.

465
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Valentino slept there. Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio spent their honeymoon there.

466
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:31,000
And Harriet Houdini conducted rooftop seances trying to contact the spirit of her dead husband.

467
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Well, as we know, Harriet Houdini never called her back.

468
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:41,000
But some people believe that Rudolph Valentino is still appearing nightly at the Nicarbaca Hotel.

469
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Today, the Nicarbaca is quiet and plain, a retirement hotel in the heart of Hollywood.

470
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,000
It's a mere shadow of the vibrant, glamorous mecca it once was.

471
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
The silver screen's brightest stars adopted the Nicarbaca as their playground.

472
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
There were parties, romance, and also a darker side.

473
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Disappointment, rage, and untimely death have also made their mark on the Nicarbaca Hotel.

474
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
This is some sort of psychic scar exists.

475
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,000
I'll left over a trace of maybe a murder or suicide or some great trauma that would leave that behind

476
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000
so powerful that it would remain even to this day.

477
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,000
The psychic scar that Richard Sennig describes can be likened to a ghostly movie

478
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
perpetually replaying in the atmosphere of this hotel.

479
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Many here claim to have felt its effects.

480
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
We were the only ones here. It was about 11 o'clock in the evening.

481
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
And we were standing over here to get some coffee.

482
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
And then all of a sudden, the ceiling fan blade blew off.

483
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I swished my head to see Melanie when I did.

484
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Behind her, I saw this guy standing in a brown suit, a brown hat, arms crossed, looking down the ground.

485
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
And then the candle broke.

486
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
It just exploded. It cracked and broke.

487
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000
I mean, there's no doubt in my mind that there was something here that night.

488
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Paranormal investigators believe that locations with a great deal of traumatic history

489
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
bear the scars of their tragic past on the present.

490
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,000
What eyewitnesses describe as a haunting, investigators describe as spiritual residue

491
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
of an emotional event permanently imprinted on the environment.

492
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
And the environment here is rich in emotional history,

493
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
particularly in the hotel's barred restaurant areas,

494
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,000
which have recently been renovated and reopened as the All-Star Cafe.

495
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,000
The Hollywood Knickerbocker has had a lot of history of stars and luminaries.

496
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
A lot of celebrities have died here.

497
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Since she began working at the All-Star Cafe,

498
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Christina Apples has experienced bizarre phenomena she describes as supernatural.

499
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000
As the months went by, there were little things that I noticed,

500
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,000
such as lights flickering off and on on occasion or knocking on the door,

501
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000
which was probably the most frightening thing for me because no one was there.

502
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000
And there was a recent incident when I was just working here by myself.

503
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
The front door opened and closed by itself and it's a heavy door.

504
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
It can't be just moved by the wind.

505
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
I have seen an aberration.

506
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
It was a man's head floating below the chandelier.

507
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,000
And I could see the gold vein of the mirror through his face,

508
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
so it was transparent and he had snow-white hair.

509
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Are these sightings the physical manifestations of a psychic energy,

510
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
the so-called psychic scar?

511
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
And if so, is there a way to make contact with this energy and summon it at will?

512
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:46,000
There are several areas in this particular building that I think are definitely haunted.

513
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Psychic investigator Richard Sennett believes that dousing rods will be effective

514
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000
in locating concentrations of energy within the hotel.

515
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
To try to discover the root cause of a haunting,

516
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,000
I found in many of the cases we've looked into, there is a story of tragedy.

517
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Sennett believes that tragedy leaves permanent vortices of energy in its wake.

518
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Locating these areas may be a shortcut to another dimension.

519
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:19,000
I found in researching haunted sites that dousing rods can really give some great clues

520
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:26,000
to the areas that are haunted and also perhaps even give an idea of why these events go on.

521
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:33,000
His method may appear odd to laymen, but Sennett made several astonishing discoveries.

522
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Where I got toward the rear of the building, towards the long storage room,

523
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:47,000
the activity was ten times greater, was far more urgency and almost a panic in that particular area.

524
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:53,000
What Sennett did not know is that this area was not always an obscure storage room.

525
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:00,000
The original entrance from the bar, which is now the All-Star Cafe, coffee house,

526
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,000
is over there, the pantry, and Francis Farmer was presumed dragged through from her hotel room through here.

527
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Francis Farmer's star rose quickly in the 1930s. She personified feminine beauty and grace.

528
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,000
But in just a few short years, alcoholism and mental illness had taken a devastating toll.

529
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:25,000
When she resisted attempts to institutionalize her, she was forcibly removed from her hotel room.

530
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:30,000
And this is where Francis Farmer was dragged through nude to be publicly humiliated in front of the guests,

531
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,000
and so they could deem her, you know, insane, and then the lobotting was performed on her.

532
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:40,000
In fact, it's very possible that her spirit is one of those that haunts this area.

533
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:49,000
A site of such great humiliation could definitely have left behind some unfinished business.

534
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Further into the investigation, Sennett found another paranormal hotspot.

535
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,000
As I was dousing the lobby with a beautiful chandelier, I noticed it directly under it.

536
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
In the center of the lobby, there seemed to be a great deal of activity.

537
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:14,000
I decided to try to ascertain its shape and size and attempt to get some kind of an idea of what it might be, some clue.

538
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Each time the dousing rods crossed, Sennett marked the spot on the lobby floor.

539
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Soon, a shape started to emerge.

540
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:29,000
It seemed to make a large, old-boy shape, and I distinctly got the impression of a body.

541
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I didn't see a face, but I saw like a person's head. The impression I got was of a man.

542
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,000
DW Griffith lived on 10th floor, started many films.

543
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:47,000
One day, he was drunk and just dragged himself and collapsed dead underneath the big chandelier in the lobby.

544
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000
It was a fact that we did not reveal to Sennett until several hours after his investigation in the lobby.

545
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
He died right under the lobby.

546
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:03,000
In the lobby? Where we had it? Because if that's the case, that means we've got some proof of a psychic trace being left behind.

547
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:12,000
I think that there is something in that lobby and there's something in this building, at least, as I say, three to four entities on the site.

548
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000
And I'd like to do further research.

549
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Most of the old hotels and theaters along Hollywood Boulevard are gone now.

550
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
The few that remain are mere shadows of their former glory.

551
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,000
But within their walls, the golden age of Hollywood remains.

552
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:35,000
And in those shadows, stars like Clark Gable, May West and Judy Garland may be taking their final bow.

553
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Next, a sightings update from Mexico City.

554
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000
A commercial airline pilot describes a mid-air collision with a UFO.

555
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000
We had to have an emergency landing.

556
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Mass sightings of UFOs over Mexico City are still increasing.

557
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:00,000
A sightings investigative team continues to monitor events in Mexico and collect new videotapes of bizarre aircraft.

558
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:09,000
And now, a commercial airline pilot, Captain Raimundo Ruano, has agreed to come forward with his own harrowing account of a near miss with a UFO.

559
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
It was what commercial pilots call a milk run.

560
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000
In this case, a routine short distance flight from Guadalajara to Mexico City.

561
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:24,000
But in July of 1994, Captain Raimundo Ruano's routine was unexpectedly interrupted.

562
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:34,000
When my landing gear was in transit, barely down, I'm making my turn when I felt a very hard hit.

563
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:41,000
At that moment, I didn't know what it was. I had never felt a hit as strong as this.

564
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Captain Ruano put in an emergency call to the tower.

565
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:51,000
The supervising controller ordered Ruano to fly by the tower for a visual inspection of the aircraft.

566
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Because the landing gear appeared to be down and locked, the captain was given clearance for an immediate emergency landing.

567
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Immediately, maintenance checked the airplane and found that the shock absorber was torn off.

568
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
It was clear that there had been a collision. But with what?

569
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:26,000
After I landed the airplane, I contacted radar control and they told me that at the moment I was making my turn,

570
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:36,000
there were two UFOs. I probably crossed my path with theirs and that's when I declared myself in emergency.

571
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:45,000
That day was July 28th, it was 9 o'clock when I received many calls.

572
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:53,000
I then called the tower control to tell them there is a big UFO in this area of the city.

573
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
They said thank you very much and that was it.

574
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,000
An hour later, the people from the tower of control called us, excited.

575
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,000
When you said it was a UFO, we just had an accident of a DC-9 and we had to have an emergency landing.

576
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
The pilot is coming, he wants to talk to you.

577
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Journalist Jaime Musad has heard many first-hand accounts from pilots who have had unexplained encounters with UFOs.

578
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:32,000
But Captain Ruelano is the first commercial pilot in Mexico willing to risk his professional reputation and publicly state what he experienced at the helm of the DC-9.

579
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:41,000
In the next 10 days, we have six sightings of pilots going almost landing in Mexico City. They have these sightings.

580
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Air traffic controllers have also made sightings in the air and on radar.

581
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Sightings interviewed two controllers at Mexico City Airport while they refused to speak on camera.

582
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
They did supply us with this radio transmission between the Mexico City Tower and a commercial airliner.

583
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Sightings has uncovered several instances where unidentified craft have posed a serious threat to inbound aircraft.

584
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Why is this threat being ignored by aviation officials?

585
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:54,000
In many ways, they are connected to the FAA in the United States and that's one reason they are worried because in your country this is a difficult matter. This is a very delicate matter.

586
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Well, if I were a pilot, I'm not sure I would want to complicate my life by making a report either.

587
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Aeronautic engineer Richard Haynes has been collecting first-hand accounts of pilot sightings for more than 20 years.

588
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:23,000
I have commercial cases from almost every country in the world, by the way. Military sightings, test pilot sightings like the X-15, for instance, and NASA kind of test aircraft, and also private pilots.

589
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Although the Mexican government is aware of the UFO flap active here, their action has been limited.

590
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:39,000
What we are doing now, the pilots, is to be more attentive in coordination with radar control.

591
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Because government cooperation is lukewarm, tower controllers and the Mexican Association of Pilots are seeking their own safe solution.

592
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,000
A mid-air collision between a commercial aircraft and a UFO is a real possibility they must avoid.

593
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Sightings will continue to update you on further developments in Mexico City.

594
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Sightings has expanded its America Online area. Key word, sightings, when you log on for access to sightings stories, images and events.

595
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:19,000

596
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

597
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Next on Sci-Fi, Dark Shadows.

598
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Sightings.
