1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
on this edition of Sighting.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,500
Her name was Kathy,

3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:07,500
and her brutal murder nearly destroyed her family.

4
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:11,000
We were sentenced to living our lives

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
without ever seeing her again.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Psychic Catlin Ray retraces Kathy's last steps

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
in search of a killer.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I feel like this is the end of the trail for her.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Everybody in this town is seeing you evolve.

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Then Sighting investigates

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
America's most active paranormal hotspot,

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
the mysterious valley of the city.

13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The mysterious valley of Colorado.

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
We saw lights come off this side of the mountain over here.

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Come very close to the top of these mountains on this side.

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
His eyes? Right there.

17
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Later, holidays at Arizona's Gadsden Hotel

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
with the ghosts of Christmas past.

19
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
I'm getting scared just talking about it.

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Just thinking about it.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Healing defies the laws of science.

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
And a miraculous story about a master healer from Iran.

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:24,000
MUSIC

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Kathy Torres was a great kid.

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
She worked, went to college, was active in community service

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
and tutored high school students in English and Spanish.

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
But when Kathy finally made the headlines,

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
it wasn't for her promise or her talent.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
It was because she'd been murdered.

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Two years after her death, her killer is still at large

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and traditional police investigations just haven't worked.

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Can a psychic solve the case?

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
MUSIC

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
He stabbed Kathy to death.

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
He robbed a town and a family of their precious future.

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
And he got away with it.

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
We're completely in the dark.

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
We really have no suspect in this case.

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
But no one in Placentia, California is giving up.

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
No one will let a monster go free without a fight.

42
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
The hardest thing is wondering who could have done this to her

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
and whether this person will ever be prosecuted.

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
MUSIC

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Kathy was active, very bubbly, always smiling.

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
She was just a happy-go-luck kid.

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
She was a straight-A student and a role model

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
for her younger sister Debbie.

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
She was like real popular in school.

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And, you know, she was real pretty.

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And I wanted to be exactly like her, you know?

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Like, yeah, you know, that's my sister.

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
At age 20, she was putting herself through college

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
with a part-time job at the local drug store.

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
On Saturday, February 5th, 1994,

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
she worked a busy pre-Valentine's Day shift.

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Just after 8 p.m., she called her mother

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
to say she was on her way home.

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
But by 9, she hadn't arrived.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Then it was 10, 11, 12, and no sign of Kathy.

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Debbie and I went looking for her.

62
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And to places we thought maybe she might have stayed,

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
but she didn't seem right.

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
But we went to check and didn't find her car anywhere.

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
The next day, Kathy didn't show up for work.

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
On Monday, she missed school.

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Mary feared the worst.

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I just had a feeling that she wasn't coming back.

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
As hours turned into days, the entire town was mobilized.

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
But no one found any sign of Kathy or her car.

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Then it started to rain, and Mary had a disturbing vision.

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Tuesday evening, I finally managed...

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
to talk about it.

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
And I believe I told my husband that I knew that Kathy was in her car.

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
On February 12th, exactly one week after Kathy's disappearance,

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
her mother's vision became a reality.

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Kathy's car was found, and Kathy was in it, in the trunk, stabbed to death.

78
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:32,000
The day Kathy was found, we were sentenced to living our lives without ever seeing her again.

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Police scoured the car for clues, but the rain had washed away any potential evidence.

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000
A large reward was offered, but no one came forward with the brake investigators were desperately searching for.

81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You hit the wall, and until something else happens, where there's a break in one of those areas, the case remains unsolved.

82
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
People ask me why I do this type of work.

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It's to give closure to those who are left behind that are suffering.

84
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Kathleen Ray is a psychic detective with a proven track record.

85
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Her successful work on a similar case in Fresno was encouraging to the Flacentia Police Department,

86
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
and investigator Loomis agreed to meet with Ray and record her psychic impressions.

87
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I would say this man's at least in his middle 40s.

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
He's just a man that's seen her several times, but I don't feel like he was lying and waiting for her.

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I feel that he's very friendly around children.

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
I'd almost think of a custodian of a school or some of their janitor of a school,

91
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:38,000
and I feel that there's a dip in the road, and there's a green small building over here.

92
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I hear some type of motor.

93
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:49,000
I feel like he turns off on a street that has an H in it or a road that has an H in it.

94
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Then investigator Loomis accompanied Kathleen Ray as she attempted to reconstruct Kathy's last hours.

95
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
She was trying to create a timeline and to find the actual site of the killing.

96
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
I feel that she feels fine about going to her car.

97
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And after she gets in the car and leaves, I feel she suddenly says,

98
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
there's something I want to do because she stopped somewhere just to run in and do something.

99
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
And if there's a video store, perhaps she stopped to get one but didn't get to the store.

100
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
That's a place that I know that she did stop.

101
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
So I was surprised when Kathleen mentioned that.

102
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
At 8.30 I feel like it's the beginning of problems with this man.

103
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000
According to Ray's psychic impression, it was here at this strip mall that Kathy Torres first encountered her killer.

104
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
She gets out of her car for some reason.

105
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
I feel that he then comes up behind her and he has a knife here.

106
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
And he says, get back in and slide across.

107
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I feel like he went out into an area where there's a dip in the road.

108
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:07,000
And over here is a small dark green building that if I listen, I can hear a generator type of sound in it.

109
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Ray looked for those telltale landmarks and the letters C and H as clues to the crime scene.

110
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
She guided investigator Lumas past Central Street. She had found her C.

111
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Just moments later, they rolled over a large dip in the road.

112
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
A green box.

113
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
There's the green box and now there's the hum. You can hear the hum of that electricity there.

114
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
The large utility box was just as Ray had envisioned.

115
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
It was a generator providing power to some of Placentia's many oil wells.

116
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Sensing that the murder scene was very near, Ray was drawn to one particular rig.

117
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
According to Kathleen Ray, it was here in this oil field that Kathy was murdered.

118
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Ray did not know that police already had evidence indicating she was right.

119
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
We do have a shoe that was analyzed by chemists at Unicale.

120
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:10,000
They determined that there was unknown pollen substance and also some sort of a petroleum based oil in the dirt that was on the shoe.

121
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Just beyond the oil field, Ray found her H. It led to a hospital.

122
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
The same hospital where Kathy's body was discovered.

123
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
I feel like this is where the trauma came to an end.

124
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I feel like he's driving along after he has put here in the trunk of the car.

125
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Parks the car, gets out and takes off.

126
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And I feel that this is the end of the trail for him.

127
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Her psychic vision of Kathy's fatal route was uncanny.

128
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
The landmarks were exactly as she had foreseen. The letters as she expected.

129
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Kathleen Ray asked for police sketch orders to help her create a portrait of Kathy's killer.

130
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:59,000
The idea that he was an older man, perhaps a local janitor, were clues that the police had not yet considered and ones they will now look into.

131
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,000
We hope that this photo and this story will give us a new jump start on this investigation.

132
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:16,000
As long as I'm alive and this is not solved, I will look here and there to try to find who murdered my daughter.

133
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
I will never stop.

134
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:27,000
The city of Placentia has raised $36,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Kathy Torres' killer.

135
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
If you have information important to this case, please call the Placentia California Police Department.

136
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Next, the San Luis Valley has been experiencing UFOs, cattle mutilations and mysterious fireballs.

137
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
There's an awful lot of strange things from the mysterious Valley of Colorado.

138
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
The top secret military testing facility known as Area 51 isn't quite as top secret as the government would like.

139
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Worldwide press attention has focused the eyes of the world on the skies above Nevada.

140
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:12,000
But while amateur ufologists clamor for a glimpse of Area 51, the real action the experts claim has moved eastward to the government's new Black Project playground.

141
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:26,000
The beautiful San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado is no stranger to paranormal activity, both in the air and on the ground.

142
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Everybody in this town has seen UFOs.

143
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,000
I just saw lights come off of this side of the mountain over here, come clear across and go over the top of these mountains on this side.

144
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
This area is like the center of mutilation phenomenon.

145
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
There's an awful lot of strange things that occur in the mysterious Valley of Colorado.

146
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
It's developed into a pattern of activity people here have learned to live with.

147
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000
But lately, the skies above this high altitude alpine valley have started getting crowded,

148
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000
leading many long-time residents to speculate that the military has moved in without notice.

149
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,000
I'm a supporter of the military, but I don't believe in doing things that we don't need to do.

150
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000
It really makes me furious that they continue to fly over these children.

151
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Patricia Richmond has been a school teacher in the valley for more than 25 years. She worries about an accident.

152
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:34,000
The first time I had an encounter with them were two jets flying just almost about ground level.

153
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,000
That person endangered not only his life, but the life of every child and every employee in that building.

154
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
While most residents appreciate the need for national security,

155
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
they believe the secrecy surrounding testing here only protects the military, not them.

156
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
When it does happen, there should be accountability from the commanders,

157
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
but apparently the commanders here don't feel that they should feel that they want to do anything.

158
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Lieutenant Colonel Buck Buckingham is airspace manager of the Colorado Air National Guard.

159
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
He says the accusations about unsafe flyovers are simply untrue.

160
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
The international guard policy is we fly no lower than 500 feet, which is what we do.

161
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:22,000
We did have calls about the schools in Moffat. We did have calls about people in a vehicle getting attacked.

162
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
They really weren't getting attacked. They weren't being used as targets.

163
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
They perceived it that way because of how low we were.

164
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
We do have a lot of people living here, and I suspect there are desert areas that they could fly and do their drills,

165
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
which doesn't have any population in it.

166
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,000
So why they need to fly over this area is not particularly clear, unless there's some hidden agenda.

167
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Because the military isn't talking, speculation about that hidden agenda has led many in this close-knit community to fear the worst.

168
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Some people believe that their livestock and they themselves are part of a black project experiment

169
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
involving extraterrestrial technology.

170
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Ray Cook, a third-generation valiant and former NASA engineer, believes the Pentagon has a more sinister purpose.

171
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:13,000
What's occurring in many cases is you have a training activity, which might be conducted by a guard unit, for example,

172
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
that could be used to cloak the introduction of a super-secret aircraft.

173
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And what they may be cloaking, he says, is the go-ahead to build the Western Range complex known as the WRC.

174
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
According to military officials, the WRC is still in the proposal stage,

175
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
but area realtor Bob Sender off fears this new military test center is much further along.

176
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
If they really need this airspace, maybe there's something they're not telling us.

177
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
And if there's something that they're not telling us, then I think we have every right in the world to be concerned.

178
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
I think if those people down there, I don't know what their agenda is.

179
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I don't know if it's a personal agenda, a personal attack on the military.

180
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Sometimes you see some things in the military that make you very upset.

181
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And sometimes I think to get to the root of the problem is I think the military's been a bureaucracy in our country for 200 years,

182
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
and they've forgotten who they're accountable to sometimes and who they really work for.

183
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,000
According to documents obtained by sightings, the Western Range complex flight corridor may extend south into New Mexico,

184
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000
rivaling the airspace now reserved for Area 51.

185
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Some 70% of the increase that they proposed here is going to be flown by aircraft other than the local Air National Guard.

186
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:41,000
And that big category of others, and of course other gives you the opportunity of mixing in flights by black programs on testing weaponry

187
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
that they otherwise would not want to test out in the open.

188
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
We have no black projects. We have no laser capability.

189
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000
So whatever is going on down there that they think is, this gentleman, this unit, the Colorado Guard, knows nothing about it.

190
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
If you were going to run all your black projects and experimental craft,

191
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,000
and you could throw in a few UFO type things to throw people off the track just enough to get them talking about aliens and UFOs,

192
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,000
that it would be a great smoke screen and cover for any kind of operation while they're running.

193
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:27,000
I am suggesting we call the military to win the rock and have them give us a report as to what they're doing.

194
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I would say quit lying. Tell us the truth.

195
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Frustration is mounting as more and more people on the ground come to believe that their skies are being turned into the 21st century replacement for Area 51.

196
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Recent revelations about secret radiation testing nearby in the 1950s only confirm the fear that residents might be sitting ducks.

197
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,000
There has to be an integrated plan, and that integrated plan is something that they should lay on the table,

198
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:06,000
and that they'd give people an opportunity to evaluate it, determine if that's something we really want to support, instead of trying to do it on a clandestine basis.

199
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:13,000
The eyewitnesses that sightings spoke with, particularly members of the Navajo Nation, are more than just angry.

200
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:22,000
They're disappointed in a government they have supported and in a military they've served, and they wonder if we can't be trusted, then who can?

201
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Next, did aliens create our universe? The unbelievable science had worked to free willing, and Feng Shui helps Hong Kong's futures exchange to new highs.

202
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Here are some of the stories sightings is following in the news.

203
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,000
A recent headline in the times of London is causing vigorous debate among scientists and religious leaders.

204
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:58,000
It reads, Aliens may have created universe, a claim based on the findings of not an overzealous ufologist, but a distinguished professor of astronomy.

205
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:11,000
At the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, an astronomy professor is shaking up the world of cosmology with a startling theory about the origin of our galaxy.

206
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Professor Edward Harrison proposes that our world is the work of a superintelligence from another world.

207
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:28,000
One usually says God did it, or designed it, and that's the end of it. But now we're beginning to see how, in fact, intelligent life can actually create a universe.

208
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Sighting Einstein's cosmic theories, Harrison believes that advanced beings from another universe would have had the tools necessary to forge a new universe inside the crucible of a black hole.

209
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:53,000
It goes into inflation like a bubble that bursts out of the side of this universe. It inflates and separates. Then begins the big bang, and then it becomes a universe eventually.

210
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:02,000
And Harrison speculates that one reason such superintelligence might have created our universe was simply as a kind of alien science project.

211
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Our universe may not be the fittest. One might well see where's a created fitting universe. Having created a universe, you can transfer into it, occupy it, and explore it.

212
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And he does not rule out the possibility that there may be some among us who are the direct descendants of those extraterrestrial explorers.

213
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:40,000
In San Francisco, California, David Phillips of the Earth Island Institute is supervising an ambitious project to bring about a family reunion for Keiko. The Orca whale made famous by the movie Free Willy.

214
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Keiko was donated from Mexico to us with the goal of hopefully one day being able to be reunited with his family. Probably the most ambitious plan ever launched for a marine mammal.

215
00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Prior to captivity, Keiko lived for at least two years in Icelandic waters with his Orca family, called a pod. And because each pod has its own distinctive language, the project is endeavoring to learn Keiko's language and then search for a matching pod.

216
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:20,000
The experts feel that he was in the wild with that pod long enough in those two years to be able to have learned and be able to recognize the sounds of that pod.

217
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Even though Keiko has been in captivity for nearly 16 years, scientists are hopeful that with an array of experimental techniques, they will be able to return Keiko to his family.

218
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:45,000
We're probably going to be doing satellite link-ups of acoustic hydrophones in Iceland to his tank in Newport, Oregon, so that we can try to actually have him be able to listen to the sounds of the whales in the wild.

219
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:55,000
If Keiko recognizes the songs of his pod, marine biologists will then conduct DNA testing to definitively link Keiko to his lost family.

220
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:04,000
We've taken DNA samples of Keiko certainly through his blood. We can get a very clear genetic picture of Keiko.

221
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:14,000
We're using the best and the most advanced technology to try to answer some simple questions of how can Keiko find his family in the wild.

222
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:27,000
In Hong Kong, preparations are underway for this British colony's return to China in 1999.

223
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:37,000
But while the real estate may be returning to its roots, the culture remains decidedly Western, orfitting many ancient spiritual beliefs, like the belief in Feng Shui.

224
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
I would believe that this is more or less a psychological effect.

225
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Dr. Wang Wai-Shou, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, believes Feng Shui is nothing more than an ancient superstition.

226
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Like in the Western culture, you have a Friday the 13th.

227
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
But don't tell that to these men on the floor of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange.

228
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Because of Feng Shui, the belief that spiritual energy can be manipulated for happiness and profit, things are looking up.

229
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,000
After a terrible first quarter in 1995, the billion dollar exchange was searching for a change.

230
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:25,000
So we called the Feng Shui man out. He had said, you have a small slope going directly into the elevator bank.

231
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:35,000
There is a very good chance that the wealth that is in this room will start flowing down, and then it will be where the elevators can open up.

232
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
And when you go down the elevators, the wealth could flow out of the building.

233
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Riley followed the Feng Shui masters advice. Two large aquariums were installed in a strategic location between the trading floor and the elevators.

234
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:58,000
And sure enough, next morning after the fish tanks, our volume goes up to double its normal average and set a brand new record.

235
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:11,000
For the balance of 1995 and so far 1996, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange has continued its strong performance that began when they deferred to the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui.

236
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up on Citing's.

237
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
For the people who worked there, the Gadsden Hotel's past is a bit too real.

238
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I saw a man shape moving down the hallway. I was petrified.

239
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000
At the turn of the century, Douglas, Arizona was the town that put the wild in Wild West.

240
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:54,000
And at its center was the Gadsden Hotel, a posh playground for cattle-bearings, prospectors and adventurers.

241
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:04,000
The Gadsden is still the centerpiece of Douglas. It's still a hotel in between Christmas and Easter and still attracts a wild clientele, most of whom are dead.

242
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:19,000
They say there's gold buried underneath the Gadsden, left by a prospector who took the secret of its location to his grave.

243
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Every year since then, starting around holiday time, the hotel has been haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past.

244
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000
I don't know if ghosts have shadows or what, but I've seen it on my wall in my bedroom.

245
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
I don't know who it is, but it doesn't have a head.

246
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000
I always get chills right there, right at that spot, right at the corner where I saw the ghost. It's a creepy feeling.

247
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Most people associate weird goings-ons with Halloween, but at the Gadsden it seems like Christmas and Easter, but especially Christmas.

248
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,000
We planned a sightings investigation to coincide with the annual Yule Tide haunting.

249
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
When we start putting up Christmas decorations around here, we all kind of get this feeling like, what's going to happen this year?

250
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:16,000
This year my mother-in-law and I put up the decorations and I was on a big ladder in the lobby next to the tree.

251
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
She saw somebody leaning on the mezzanine, the railing, watching us putting up the decorations.

252
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:29,000
She figured it might be the elevator operator standing there leaning against the thing, and she started walking towards it and it just disappeared.

253
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
She looked, the elevator wasn't there and there was nobody around.

254
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Whatever was leaning on that railing, watching us put up Christmas decorations was immediately gone.

255
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
We're wondering, who's going to have the next experience? What's going to happen?

256
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Was he the prospector or another notorious character from the Gadsden's past?

257
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Sightings first contacted local historian Lee Johnson.

258
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
The area in the early days was a very hostile environment.

259
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:03,000
By 1903 we had at least 50 saloons and a year later about 75, and it was very unruly.

260
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000
The Gadsden was built during these turbulent times.

261
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Completed in 1907 it was the only luxury hotel for hundreds of miles, attracting an elite clientele.

262
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Then in 1927 the Gadsden burned and was rebuilt by bootleggers.

263
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
A new kind of patron took over.

264
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000
In the lobby where guests were playing rummage today, gunfights raged and many gamblers and run runners were killed.

265
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
If you want to find ghosts, you should go where the most people congregated.

266
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:38,000
In my opinion, that would be the Gadsden, the structure, the violence that has taken place along with the fire.

267
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Lends all the aspects to the atmosphere that you would expect to find a ghost in.

268
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Many ghost investigators believe that untimely violent death is the stuff that ghosts are made upon.

269
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000
So it is not surprising that this place has become a treasure house of paranormal activity.

270
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:03,000
And maybe the reason why housekeeper Maria Castillo never really feels alone when she makes her rounds.

271
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Presence of someone. I always feel the presence of someone.

272
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Maria described numerous incidents in the Gadsden's hallways when ghosts started playing games with her.

273
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
And some of those ghosts like to play rough.

274
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:29,000
In one bizarre incident, several co-workers saw Maria slapped by an unseen hand.

275
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:35,000
They say Welts raised on her skin, offering compelling physical evidence to her paranormal encounter.

276
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Other female employees described a presence that climbs into bed with them at night and paralyzes them with supernatural energy.

277
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Brenda Nally had one such encounter.

278
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000
It was 10 o'clock. I turned the TV off and I turned the light off.

279
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000
I opened my eyes and I seen the shadow on the wall of this body floating about three or four inches over top of me and I couldn't move.

280
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,000
It just felt like something was trying to get inside of me from head to toe.

281
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I don't know. I'm getting scared just talking about it, just thinking about it.

282
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Gadsden hotel manager Robin Breckis had a frightening encounter with this supernatural energy during a party.

283
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:18,000
It was 4.10 in the afternoon and the clocks all stopped and nothing electrical worked.

284
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Her guests needed candles and so Robin went down to a storage area in the oldest and many say the most haunted part of the hotel.

285
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I just, I wasn't thinking about it. I think I just ran down the hall and reached for the doorknob and I thought somebody was watching me.

286
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000
So I turned the way that they would have had to come and there was nobody there.

287
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
So I reached through to open the door and I saw a woman.

288
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,000
I felt it again. So I looked the other direction and I shined my flashlight and I saw a man shape moving down the hallway.

289
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I was petrified and so I grabbed my box that was right there and I turned around and I ran.

290
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I've never seen the ghost again but I had a lot of weird things happen to me.

291
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,000
I was in the hallway and I saw a man shape moving down the hallway.

292
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I ran. I've never seen the ghost again but I had a lot of weird things happen to me.

293
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Because there have been multiple haunting encounters experienced by credible eyewitnesses,

294
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
sightings brought in psychic Peter James to assist in several experiments.

295
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Because Peter seems to be sensitive to haunting energy, we asked him to record his psychic impressions inside the gadstone.

296
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Robin led Peter to the basement where the rest of our team was waiting.

297
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Hi. Hi. Hi.

298
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
The team was using thermal vision which records temperature fluctuations

299
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
and another camera was rigged with starlight infrared lenses.

300
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
This camera operates in near darkness and also sees light bands invisible to the naked eye.

301
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Peter, this is where I was when I had my experience with whatever's down here.

302
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I was standing here but I didn't see anything right here.

303
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
I saw something right over there in that doorway.

304
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:03,000
And I'm feeling it as we speak right now, right behind me, right in this area.

305
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And I like to grow up there and investigate the little mind.

306
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:16,000
This is where they enter from and come up this way and wherever they go within the hotel, this is the vortex.

307
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Walk around it Peter. Walk around the succumbers.

308
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I'm going to walk around the succumbers right here.

309
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Remarkably, the perimeter of the energy vortex that Peter was tracing coincided with an area visible to the team

310
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
only through the thermal cam.

311
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
The difference in color indicates a two degree warmer zone.

312
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Down the hallway, Peter felt the presence of another anomaly.

313
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
I'm in a circle of cool air right now. It's cold.

314
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000
He's right here and I think this man was a bartender or he was a man in service.

315
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:50,000
He doesn't give me a name but he's showing me where he was stabbed and where he bled to death.

316
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Moments later, a startling image appeared to the thermal cam operator. It was a face.

317
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Oh wow. What a...

318
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Can you get the monitor on this one?

319
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
I'm trying to. I'm trying to.

320
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
You getting more?

321
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
We're cutting the monitor. You going to try something?

322
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
I'm almost getting like a face shape.

323
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Temple, you touch where you think the face is.

324
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000
This is a portrait of the entity Peter felt, videotaped in shades of warm and cool.

325
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Peter, you see if you can aim it right at him.

326
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Someone hold this.

327
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
You aiming it right at him?

328
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Right there. Right there.

329
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Yes, right there.

330
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,000
That center?

331
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Right there.

332
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Right, his eyes?

333
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Where?

334
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Right straight ahead.

335
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Right straight ahead, right there.

336
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Right here, closer to his eyes.

337
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
His eyes?

338
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
But the proof of the haunting here must still remain with the eyewitnesses.

339
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
I was a skeptic before. I didn't really believe in ghosts.

340
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
But once it actually happened to me, I'm a believer.

341
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
With the passing of Easter, the Gadsden Hotel's ghostly season seems to be over.

342
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,000
But as soon as the Tinsel Angels come out next Christmas, the entities are certain to return.

343
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:13,000
And next year perhaps, the entity that revealed himself to Peter James will let someone know where the gold is buried.

344
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Next, doctors said she would never walk.

345
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
You have seen a lot of doctors in your life.

346
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,000
They couldn't do anything.

347
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
This bastard who's not a doctor can.

348
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
After the ouster of the Shah of Iran by the Ayatollah Khomeini,

349
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
thousands of Iranians were forced into exile.

350
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Many came to the United States and left the old ways behind.

351
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
But as Karla Wall reports, some of the old ways die hard.

352
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
And that's why so many Iranians are gathering to see Paburande,

353
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Iran's most famous and successful spiritual healer.

354
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:04,000
On the day that 17-year-old Leila Jamshed was born, artillery fire boomed in the streets of her native Tehran.

355
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
A fire was raging in the bank underneath her apartment.

356
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Her birth was premature. She suffered oxygen deprivation causing cerebral palsy.

357
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Since then, her parents have emigrated to the U.S. and have tried everything to help Leila.

358
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:26,000
What did the medical doctors give you in terms of a prognosis for Leila, in terms of what she could expect?

359
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Last time we wasn't by the doctor's side. They cannot do anything.

360
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
So that she would always have difficulty.

361
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Exactly.

362
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,000
If she had to walk with a crutch, she would never be able to use her left hand.

363
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,000
But as hope dwindled, Leila's mother heard about Master Paburande.

364
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Little known in America, Paburande is viewed in Iran as a healer and a saint.

365
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:59,000
He accepts no money for his spiritual services and has purportedly treated 2 million patients with a 95% success rate.

366
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Master Paburande's first trip to the U.S. would prove a success for Leila as well.

367
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Did you believe in a healer's ability?

368
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,000
No. There's no such thing as a healer. There was no such thing as a healer.

369
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,000
In your mind.

370
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Yeah.

371
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:21,000
But Leila's mother was adamant. The family made the trip from their home in Dallas to Los Angeles,

372
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
where Leila had a private healing with Paburande.

373
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:32,000
And he placed his hands on my back like this, and he applied such a great force.

374
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
What did it feel like?

375
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
It felt like some electrical impulses.

376
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,000
And he did that for several moments.

377
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
And he asked me to lay back down.

378
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,000
After I got up off the mat, I noticed that my back was bendable.

379
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,000
And you're talking to a person that's never bent her back before this.

380
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Describe how you feel today compared to how you feel beforehand.

381
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000
When he first let go of my back, I felt hot.

382
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,000
I felt as if something was being lifted off my back.

383
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Once he did that, the back pain was gone.

384
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
You have seen a lot of doctors in your life.

385
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Yes.

386
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
They couldn't do anything.

387
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
And this master who's not a doctor, can't.

388
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Master Parvarande believes that many illnesses, both physical and psychological,

389
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
are caused by disruptions in the electromagnetic energy that naturally flows through the body.

390
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Everything in the universe has a vibration and oscillation.

391
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,000
When your vibration is not at the correct level being very simplistic,

392
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
you have a disease.

393
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:54,000
I believe our best definition of a healer is an individual who can stimulate a vibratory effect in the receiver.

394
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Healing has never been, in the last 300 years, a part of conventional medicine.

395
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
It defies the laws of science.

396
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Most healers will tell you that they don't heal.

397
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:16,000
They are channels for healing energy which all of the ones I've talked to believe is the power of God.

398
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
And in fact, master Parvarande does attribute his healing powers to a divine source.

399
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:29,000
God will transfer or will transmit energy to me.

400
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:36,000
I think that my energy is going to be transferred to the people or to the patients.

401
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000
I'm not a religious person but I still do believe in a God.

402
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
And she's got something going on with God.

403
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
They've like got their own direct telephone line, I think.

404
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:51,000
After a series of personal healing sessions with Leila, Parvarande continues to help her over the telephone.

405
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000
I still don't have enough balance when I'm trying to walk. I still stumble a little bit.

406
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000
The results of these sessions have been profound and Leila continues to improve.

407
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:10,000
I couldn't grip anything with my left hand. I couldn't move my lines as much as I'm able to move them now.

408
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Through Parvarande's treatment, Leila is doing what mainstream doctors doubted she ever would.

409
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Leila is taking her first unaided steps.

410
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:34,000
I am very, very, very happy for this because I know that in the near future Leila can take care of herself and be independent.

411
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Although he is thrilled with the results, Leila's older brother remains a skeptic.

412
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,000
I have a hard time believing that it happens but I believe my sister.

413
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:55,000
It really doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is what she believes and the fact that she's doing these things right now, that's what matters.

414
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:07,000
And it is this power of positive thought that even traditional doctors agree is a determining factor in recovery from all kinds of illnesses.

415
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Before the Master, you could only walk with crutches. You had no use of your left hand at all and you had severe back pain.

416
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And you're telling me that today not as much back pain, use of your left wrist and you're walking without the crutches for six to eight steps.

417
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
What are your expectations now?

418
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I expect him to cure me. I expect him to because if he can do this, if he can do what he's done for me so far, which he has, I expect him to cure me.

419
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Leila's condition continues to improve and she hopes that on Paravanda's next trip to the United States, he will be able to visit her at her home in Texas.

420
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Next, do the secrets of the lost continent of Atlanta lie beneath this frozen landscape.

421
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,000
We mapped it, the lay of the land that we got matches the Saint-Jean map.

422
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:24,000
More than 5,000 years ago, in Egypt, in the Maya Kingdom and in North America, people inscribed their pyramids, temples and totems with the same story of a vastly sophisticated civilization that had vanished beneath the waves.

423
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Before telephones, telegraph or transatlantic trade, they all knew the same story.

424
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Was it simply a case of coincidental legend or were these widely separated people all recalling historical fact?

425
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,000
There's a great myth memory that haunts mankind.

426
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:50,000
It's a memory of a lost civilization and a lost continent.

427
00:38:50,000 --> 00:39:04,000
And yet, we do have a continent on our planet which is truly lost, which is the continent of Antarctica, buried beneath thousands of billions of tons of ice.

428
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Graham Hancock is the author of Fingerprints of the Gods.

429
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:18,000
In it, Hancock speculates that the lost civilization we know today as Atlantis may actually have been in Antarctica before it was covered with ice.

430
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
And several ancient maps support Hancock's theory.

431
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:31,000
One of the best known of these maps is the Perry Ray East map, drawn up by a well-known Turkish admiral in 1513 in Constantinople.

432
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:39,000
The Perry Ray East map is thought to have been based on even older maps stored in Egypt in the legendary library of Alexandria.

433
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
The map shows the correct contours of the northern Antarctic coastline.

434
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Remarkable because in 1513 there was no sonar, radar or deep drilling technology to see this outline.

435
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
The Antarctic Peninsula is buried under mild thick ice.

436
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Richard Noon is a millennial researcher who has reached conclusions similar to Hancock's, but with a deadly twist.

437
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:12,000
And when we mapped it using very advanced modern electronics, the lay of the land that we got matches the topography of the St. John map.

438
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:20,000
After studying the Perry Ray East map, the United States Air Force concurred. The map showed Antarctica ice free.

439
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:30,000
The Earth apparently rolls along with long periods of quiet and then an event which is described as a pole shift takes place.

440
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:39,000
The theory of pole shift suggests that when the ice at the poles is not in balance, the crust of the Earth can actually shift or slip around the core.

441
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:48,000
The relationship between the continents would not change, but the land in warmer parts of the planet would move into colder areas and vice versa.

442
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:58,000
This theory was first offered by former Keen College professor Charles Hapgood. It may sound far-fetched, but when it was proposed to Albert Einstein, he found it theoretically possible.

443
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Were there to be a crustal displacement, the consequences would be truly cataclysmic, mile high tidal waves surging across all the continents of the Earth.

444
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Perhaps in this we have the origins of the great story of the flood of Noah and of other flood myths around the world.

445
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,000
And most important of all, it explains how we lose a whole continent and a whole civilization.

446
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
And Hancock warns if it happened before, it could happen again.

447
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Many people have rightly pointed to a dangerous conjunction of planets that will take place on 5, 5, 2000, the 5th of May, 2000.

448
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:51,000
On that date, five planets will line up on the other side of the sun in a direct line with the Earth itself.

449
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:09,000
If on that day a slight nudge is exerted on the crust of the Earth by this particular alliance, then the crust of the Earth as a whole unit will slide over the more plastic viscose underlayer.

450
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:19,000
I think it's a good hypothesis worthy of much further testing that we look beneath the ice that now covers the Antarctic Peninsula.

451
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:31,000
There, I suspect, we may find the cities, the great engineering works of an entire advanced and forgotten human civilization.

452
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Why do we continue to be fascinated by Atlantis? Perhaps it's because our modern world resembles that once great civilization in so many ways.

453
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:51,000
And as violent seismic activity appears to be on the increase worldwide, perhaps we're also fascinated by Atlantis because we fear that history will soon repeat itself.
