1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
on this edition of sightings.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I feel metal.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
With hope running out, police know that psychic Noreen Rainier represents Joe Lewis' best hope of ever finding his missing brother.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I'm just waiting to try anything.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Even the mayor of this Brazilian city saw the smoking UFO hovering low in the sky on the outskirts of town.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
It was almost at the top of that eucalyptus tree.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
A number of other witnesses saw a whole lot more.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I'm convinced that bodies were recovered down there.

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
During a ghost investigation inside a New Jersey home, a malevolent spirit responds on tape.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Independence Day made movie history, but has it affected attitudes about life in space?

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
It is the talk of the UFO research community.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
And a look at just what the coming millennium might mean.

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

14
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
In 1995, sightings answered a plea for help from a family in Piscataway, New Jersey,

15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000
who felt that they were being haunted by negative energy inside their home.

16
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
A sightings team conducted a thorough investigation,

17
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
but since the two visits to the house, the haunting activity has only gotten worse.

18
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
The family is still desperate for help.

19
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
They want the evil spirits out.

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Before the fires, the fear, and the threatening voices,

21
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Tony Adams' home was her sanctuary, and she wants things back the way they were.

22
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I just want answers to why these spirits are here and to help them move out of here.

23
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Tony's not worried for herself, but for granddaughter Alyssa.

24
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Tony believes the three-year-old is a medium for supernatural forces

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
that speak to the child through the TV, and now there is a new baby in the house.

26
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:33,000
It's been going on for too long, and the intensity that it is at at this point could harm the babies.

27
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The entire family is unnerved by the strange messages that Alyssa says are coming from the monsters in the TV.

28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
They could have shrugged it off as childhood fantasy, Tony says,

29
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
but not for the spontaneous fires.

30
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Episodes of psychokinesis the entire family claims to have seen,

31
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
and a chilling blue fog in the middle of summer.

32
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
It's unnerving at times, and when you feel them right over you.

33
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
It seems nothing has changed since Sighting's first visit at the Adams' home in 1995.

34
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I would say Alyssa, who are you talking to, she'd say Bobby, and I'd say, where is Bobby?

35
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
And then she would point to him.

36
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
She would say, Susie, Susie's coming, you know, and Bobby's bad.

37
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
She seems to be a conduit.

38
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
During Sighting's original investigation, paranormal researcher Al Rober attempted to record the voices of Bobby and Susie on audio tape.

39
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,000
It was a long shot, but Rober did record two distinctly different human-like sounds.

40
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:44,000
The first voice was a female voice, and she comes on the tape saying he's coming upstairs.

41
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:54,000
And a little farther in the tape, there was a very sinister sounding male voice saying the baby is staying,

42
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
as if he was demanding the baby is staying.

43
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Are you upset that a man is leaving?

44
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:14,000
For a psychic's perspective, Sighting's called upon Jane Doherty, who sensed an evil spirit behind the haunting activity.

45
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I think of all the cases I've worked on, this was the most frightening in many aspects because you have the poltergeist aspect,

46
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
and you have some real danger going on because of the child.

47
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Doherty theorized that the home had been a barn and that a man had once been badly burned there,

48
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
and that man, said Doherty, was still inside, in spirit, haunting little Alyssa.

49
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,000
The big bear's with the dog first, and the gump on me.

50
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
She's calling him the bear monster now.

51
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Now, I finally put that together while she's saying that.

52
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Supposedly if this person was burned, I guess their skin would look like a monster.

53
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And what did the bad bear do?

54
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
He scared me.

55
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
And he got hurt.

56
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,000
During the original investigation, both Rober and Doherty suggested that Alyssa and her mother, Yolanda, should move out.

57
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:20,000
The only thing that worries me is that if my daughter tries to move and takes a baby, that he's going to become violent.

58
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That interview in 1995 was prophetic.

59
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Yolanda and Alyssa did move out, but the haunting continued, and now Tony's new granddaughter, Amber, seems to be the target.

60
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:42,000
She was lying on the couch, and I turned for a minute to continue to fold the laundry, and as I turned around, she was wrapped in the couch cover.

61
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
And she was struggling to get out of it. She couldn't have done it herself. So someone did do that.

62
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,000
And when Alyssa comes to visit, Tony feels the negative energy in the house increases dramatically.

63
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:03,000
When we were in the kitchen together, a knife that I was cutting with went from the counter to the floor, and now polished remover was open and lying on the floor.

64
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
All things that could potentially hurt her were put on her path.

65
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:15,000
The stress of waiting and wondering when the next attack will come has taken its toll, especially after an incident just a few weeks ago.

66
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:23,000
I came home one night, and I came in with the baby, and I got about halfway through the house, and I noticed that it smelled really heavily of gas.

67
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,000
The situation could have been deadly if the kitchen window hadn't been opened.

68
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
A window Tony distinctly remembered closing before she left the house. Who opened that window?

69
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Tony believes there may be spirits who have come to protect the family.

70
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,000
One spirit I believe to be my aunt. I believe she's the protector over the family and keeps the other ones in line as much as possible.

71
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:52,000
And with nothing more than a real-to-real tape deck, microphone and blank tape, Al Roba recorded new anomalous sounds.

72
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
A voice jumps on the tape, female voice, and she's saying, I hope we can talk.

73
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Father into the tape, Tony is talking about her aunt who had passed on, and she finishes the statement, and the voice comes on and says, take care.

74
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Do you recognize any of those voices?

75
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Yes.

76
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Which one? Which ones?

77
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
The one at the end, my aunt.

78
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:36,000
It was my aunt's voice, and not hearing a person's voice that you're so close to, and then hearing it all of a sudden is an emotional thing.

79
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Now it's personal, Tony says. She can no longer wait and wonder if the spirits will move on. She has to make it happen.

80
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:59,000
My greatest hope at this point is to be able to allow my aunt to move on and for the other spirits to be at rest and go where they're supposed to, because they don't belong here.

81
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Tony Adams believed that the haunting activity might go away if she could communicate with the spirits she believed were haunting her family.

82
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:18,000
She wanted a psychic to help, and specifically asked for Peter James. Sightings help bring the two together, and we'll have Peter's findings next in part two of this report.

83
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Psychic Peter James attempts to succeed where other psychics have failed.

84
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:34,000
You've jumped along here. Move on now.

85
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:44,000
More than five times now, paranormal investigators have recorded inexplicable noises and strange voices inside the New Jersey home of Tony Adams and her family.

86
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Tony has asked sightings to help her contact the negative spirits that she believes are haunting her home. Tony is hoping Peter James can make it stop.

87
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Despite two previous sightings investigations, unexplained haunting activity continues to plague Tony Adams, her daughters, and granddaughters.

88
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,000
I was lying in bed the other night, and I saw a white mist on one side of the bed and one on the other side of the bed.

89
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
And I just lay there for about an hour and watched them, thinking maybe they were trying to tell me something.

90
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:28,000
The mist seemed to be emanating from Tony's bedroom closet, an area that psychic Diana Abbott had earlier identified as a paranormal hotspot.

91
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Whoa! Is it like you just stepped into the refrigerator? Yes, but it's more than that.

92
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Investigators who have visited the home believe there are two supernatural forces at work here. One, the destructive spirit of a man who had been burned on the property.

93
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
The other, the benevolent spirit of Tony's aunt, who is fighting to protect the family.

94
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:55,000
She came here originally to give me a message and found there were spirits here that didn't belong, and so she stayed to protect us.

95
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Sightings brought in renowned psychic Peter James, who instantly sensed a connection between the male spirit and the circumstances that had angered him.

96
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Was there a fire here? Because I look at the house and I see smoke and I see flames.

97
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Even though he knew nothing of Melissa's encounters with the entity she called Bobby, Peter sensed that connection too.

98
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Do you know if anyone with whose name began with an R, who's your last name with you? Why are you?

99
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Was there a male R? My plan of attack is that I plan to communicate with this male entity that I feel is here.

100
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Peter James interviewed Tony. How long have you been worried about this activity?

101
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
I've been thinking probably for a little over three years maybe.

102
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
He developed a strategy for communicating with the spirits.

103
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000
We'll get it resolved. One way or the other. Trust that.

104
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
He wanted to connect with the dangerous spirit first.

105
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:59,000
I will be guided by my own instincts, but when I make contact with this entity, I will become a little confrontational.

106
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Hello? Hello? There's something in here.

107
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Hello? Who's there?

108
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Identify yourself. Your name is Rob.

109
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
He's definitely in the bedroom.

110
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Whoa, something just slow.

111
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
He said he suddenly just touched me. Something just raised my hand.

112
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
There is no doubt in my mind that there is definite anomalous activity here and quite a bit of it.

113
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:37,000
There's a Robert here and I do believe that Robert died tragically, violently.

114
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:46,000
It was in the bedroom that Peter felt the negative energy most strongly and claimed that it was Robert, the spirit Alyssa called Bobby, who was fixated on the children.

115
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Can you speak to me, Robert? Talk to me. Tell me why you're here.

116
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,000
You've got to stop terrorizing this family or you must move on now.

117
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Then Peter felt another spirit was emerging.

118
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:13,000
I feel he's still here and I'm also feeling behind me. There's a female.

119
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Was this Tony's aunt reaching out from another world?

120
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Tony showed me a photograph and there was a striking resemblance.

121
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I would venture to say that the other female is her aunt.

122
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Once he had identified the source of the haunting, Peter looked far away out of the spirits.

123
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,000
He felt the doorway between their world and this was in Tony's closet.

124
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
You don't belong here. Move on now.

125
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
He has to understand that this is my house now. This is not his house any longer.

126
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
He has to understand as a better place he's going to go to than where he is right now.

127
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
After his time raid, Peter said he felt the negative spirit withdrawing.

128
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:08,000
I feel a wave of sadness suddenly coming from him. His vibrations, his energy is almost childlike now.

129
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Peter also felt the other protective spirit was moving back into her world as well.

130
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
I now feel like that female I spoke of earlier is behind me.

131
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:26,000
There's no doubt in my mind that the activity will begin to diminish right away.

132
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Now it's a question of time. As Peter James successfully exercised the dangerous forces inside the home once and for all,

133
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:40,000
has he released the spirit of Tony's aunt so that she may rest in peace? Everyone is hopeful.

134
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Having done what I did will get rid of the activity.

135
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000
So in that sense, I think my work is done here.

136
00:13:49,000 --> 00:14:00,000
I think the baby will be less frightened now. As far as this house goes, I think that this investigation hopefully is over and everything will be resolved.

137
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Since Peter James' psychic investigation, the entire Adams family reports feeling the sense of relief and peacefulness.

138
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
While Tony is cautiously optimistic, she says she's also learned never to underestimate the power of paranormal forces.

139
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
We'll keep you updated in future reports.

140
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Here are some of the stories Siding's is following in the news.

141
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Richard C. Hoagland, world famous for his interpretation of seemingly man-made structures on the surface of Mars,

142
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000
has expanded his research to include another celestial body, the Moon.

143
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:05,000
At a recent news conference in Washington, D.C., planetary researcher Richard C. Hoagland presented what he considers to be proof of ancient artificial monuments on the Moon.

144
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000
As evidence, Hoagland offered allegedly perloid NASA photographs that he believes reveal engineered structures on the lunar surface.

145
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Hoagland is best known for his groundbreaking theories about artificial pyramids and the human effigy found on Mars in 1976.

146
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Now, Hoagland says, similar structures have been found on the Moon, and NASA knows it.

147
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
He charges the space agency with a cover-up of galactic proportions.

148
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell is one of only 12 men who have actually walked on the Moon.

149
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Does he believe there is any validity to Hoagland's claim?

150
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:52,000
If the structures on the Moon, or as he suggested, we should have been able to see some evidence for it, it should not be so difficult to dig all of that out.

151
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:01,000
There was certainly no evidence for it at our site that we could observe, and no evidence on any of the other flights that we could observe.

152
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
There certainly was not a cover-up, as has been suggested by Hoagland and others.

153
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,000
We were eager to find anything we could find that gave us some insight as to what was up there.

154
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Mitchell may not agree with Hoagland's theory, but he does believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life.

155
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
That story on the next sightings.

156
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:37,000
From cyberspace, everything you've always wanted to know about the paranormal, and you don't have to be afraid to ask.

157
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:44,000
The World Wide Web now has tens of thousands of sites dedicated to everything from directions to the blackmail box at Area 51,

158
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
to newly declassified government documents to the best way to treat a vampire bite.

159
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
On a website called the Science of Feng Shui with Lilian-2,

160
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
sightings found a good overview and detailed instructions for those interested in this ancient form of Chinese Geomancy.

161
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Lilian-2 is a Harvard-educated writer whose books on Feng Shui are bestsellers in Asia,

162
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
and now through the internet, Tu's Feng Shui system is available worldwide.

163
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Here, Tu demonstrates how to design your home to maximize the flow of good energy, called Qi.

164
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
And there are suggestions on where to place furniture for good luck, prosperity and happiness.

165
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:36,000
You can access the Science of Feng Shui with Lilian-2 at www.asiaconect.com.mylilian2.

166
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:47,000
From Hollywood, it was the biggest movie of 1996, and now the invasion is about to hit home with the video release of ID.4 on November 22nd.

167
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:57,000
The Fund for UFO Research has received dozens and dozens of phone calls as a result of Independence Day.

168
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Richard Hall, Chairman of the Fund for UFO Research, says that the success of Independence Day has been both a blessing and a burden to the serious study of UFOs.

169
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:20,000
I personally think it's very ironic that a fairly far-out science fiction or science fantasy movie gets attention to UFOs when serious evidence doesn't, but it is the talk of the UFO research community.

170
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Ufologist John Carpenter specializes in the alien abduction phenomenon and is concerned that many moviegoers will mistake science fiction for science fact.

171
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:40,000
It presents a negative hostile alien presence, and all of our research has not shown an alien hostility that plans to take over the Earth.

172
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:51,000
But renowned UFO researcher Staten Friedman, one of the original investigators of the Roswell incident, believes that the success of ID.4 can only invigorate the UFO community.

173
00:18:51,000 --> 00:19:02,000
I think that a lot of people will recognize that the enormous impact it's had, just that many people meant to see the movie and were paying good hard money to do it.

174
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:14,000
I think that may encourage other people to dig into the real UFO stories, to dig into Area 51, to dig into what happened at Roswell.

175
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,000
And serious investigation of any of these things is to the good, not to the bad.

176
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I'd like to tell people who see this movie to now get the real facts about UFOs and don't confuse the two.

177
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:34,000
There are real UFOs, there are real possibility of real aliens visiting us, and that's what we need to study.

178
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
That's where I call a close encounter.

179
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:51,000
We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up on Sightings.

180
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Can this psychic lead police to a man who's been missing for two years?

181
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,000
I'm driving for a short distance, and then something happens and I see him in the air.

182
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
And was there a UFO cover-up in Brazil?

183
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:22,000
For two years, the chief of police in tiny Williston, Florida, compared every unidentified body found in America with dental charts belonging to Norman Lewis,

184
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
one of Williston's favorite senior citizens.

185
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Mr. Lewis had disappeared without a trace in 1994, and his was the chief's most baffling missing persons case.

186
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,000
None of the bodies ever turned out to be that of Norman Lewis. Other leads didn't pan out either.

187
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
And the chief began to realize that traditional police work just wasn't getting the job done.

188
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Williston, Florida

189
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Williston, Florida is the kind of town where everybody knows about everybody else.

190
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
And everybody knew that 76-year-old Norman Lewis was retired, an avid outdoorsman, and a little bit unpredictable.

191
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000
It wasn't unusual for him to just grab his fishing pole, jump into his pickup truck, and take off.

192
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,000
But it was very unusual for Norman not to come back.

193
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:17,000
In the beginning, it looked like any other routine missing persons case, especially when you're dealing with a senior citizen or an adult.

194
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Joe and Virginia Lewis were worried this time.

195
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Joe's brother, Norman, had left behind all his cash, his ID, and his medication.

196
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
We couldn't find anything missing. Everything seemed to be there.

197
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:39,000
His billfold, his, uh, all of his identification, and, and medication, and he had asbestosis and, uh, glaucoma.

198
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Of course, it's the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months.

199
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,000
It became pretty apparent that this wasn't your average missing persons case.

200
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
The Williston Police Department pulled out all the stops.

201
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:58,000
They tagged his bank accounts, prescriptions, and sent out a country-wide bulletin with a picture of Norman and his truck.

202
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
For Chief Slaughter, Norman was beginning to feel like family.

203
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:11,000
I see the family every week. I see his brother, Joe, and I, uh, you know, his sister in all Virginia, and we'd be passing on the street or in the same restaurant.

204
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And, and although they knew that I'd tell them the minute we had any news, every time I faced them, I, I, you know, I could see that searching look in their eyes, like, is, is there some information for us?

205
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Is there some news, you know?

206
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,000
And it's really tough when you're that close to people, and you're a small-town police chief, and they're looking to you for the answers, and you, you don't have them.

207
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Why did Norman disappear? He didn't have any enemies. He wasn't carrying anything valuable. He was alert, and he knew the words like the back of his hand.

208
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Eight months after Norman's disappearance, the case was handed over to investigator Brian Hewitt, who had just returned from a special police training seminar.

209
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Mr. Lewis became his highest priority. Hewitt started over from the beginning, re-interviewing everyone who had had any contact with Norman.

210
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Early on, the investigator began to feel that Norman's truck might be the key to unlocking the case. Find the truck, find Norman Lewis.

211
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:15,000
People would call in thinking that they possibly had seen him or the truck, and then I'd track that down and, uh, another dead end.

212
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Well, it was difficult. Very difficult. I mean, you continued thinking about it.

213
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And you think, what did we overlook? If we had overlooked anything, is there anything else we can do? And, uh, of course, that was very frustrating.

214
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
The first anniversary of Norman's disappearance came and went without a single break in the baffling case.

215
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Now, Hewitt decided, in desperation, it was time to try something unorthodox.

216
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
To try a psychic detective he had met at the police seminar more than a year before.

217
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:54,000
I talked it over with the chief, and, uh, he apparently had some successful dealings with psychics in the past.

218
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,000
I've always been a bit of a skeptic, and I'm sitting here in rural Wilson, Levy County.

219
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:11,000
I know that, uh, you know, there's going to be some question about stepping out of the mainstream investigation and dealing with the psychic.

220
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000
It's a very religious community. I have more churches in town than I have fast food restaurants.

221
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
This was something new that we could try, and we was willing to try anything.

222
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:29,000
And so, on July 17th, 1995, investigator Hewitt drove the two hours from Williston to Orlando to consult with police psychic Noreen Reneer.

223
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I only work with the police. Uh, I don't need to see you. I don't need to see the scene of the crime.

224
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Let me touch something off the body. I prefer a metal. I prefer a watch, a ring, an earring, a belt buckle.

225
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Lewis has had given me a couple pairs of his shoes and his wallet, and I spoke to her on the phone, and she indicated that those items would be fine.

226
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
I'm going to find Norman.

227
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Reneer uses a paranormal technique called psychometry by handling some of Norman Lewis's personal effects.

228
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Reneer believes she can tap into residual psychic energy that will lead her to Norman.

229
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Numbers, 21, I feel miles.

230
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
She gave us the numbers, uh, four, five, two one and two two. I remember those three specifically.

231
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I see brick. I don't know what it's associated with, but I just feel the brick very strong.

232
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
It appears to be a bridge.

233
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:43,000
I feel metal around me.

234
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:52,000
I feel plants.

235
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Um, she talked about railroad tracks.

236
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:08,000
I'm driving for a short distance, and then something happens, and I see him in the air going downward.

237
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,000
It should be very simple. There's railroad tracks, the bricks, there's a bridge.

238
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:21,000
I'm seeing from above, and it looks like there's branches or trees or something below there.

239
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Investigator Hewitt put all of Reneer's clues together, used some gut instinct of his own, and came up with one word, quarry.

240
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:39,000
He was spending a lot of time, I think, going out and checking the quarries or limerock pits to see if he could get the one that seemed more logical.

241
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:45,000
And he was, I don't know what all he was doing, bless his heart. He'd be out there in the brambles and whatever.

242
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,000
I was wondering if he didn't get hurt himself.

243
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:58,000
I walked around probably 30 quarries, climbed up and down cliffs, and cut my way through growth, and it was quite an adventure.

244
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Once I determined that 80% of the elements that she mentioned were in that location, I was pretty much convinced that that was his fault.

245
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Brian Hewitt put his hunch on the line. He convinced Chief Slaughter that it was time to call in a Sheriff's Department dive team to search for Norman Lewis and his truck.

246
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:36,000
The dive team made their search and came up empty-handed. A lot of people, and maybe even myself included, would have said, alright, we tried, but Brian wasn't that way.

247
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:51,000
He said, look, I know we've got the right spot, but we're just not using the right techniques. So that's when we turned to the Navy, although I don't think we'd ever gotten them here had they known that they were acting on a psychic's tip.

248
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:57,000
The elite naval diving team later said they wouldn't have come if they'd known that it was a psychic tip that had brought them there.

249
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,000
The team said that they were driven by the knowledge that Norman had been a career Navy man. One of their own was missing.

250
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:11,000
I met them the first day they were in there. Then they said, if there's a truck in here, we'll find it.

251
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:33,000
When we just found the vehicle, Joe was there. Joe was up on a cliff.

252
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:42,000
And that's when Brian came up and told us that they'd found the truck and asked him, is he in it? And he said, yeah.

253
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,000
It was a sad day because, you know, obviously, Norman was deceased, but on the upside it was finally over.

254
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:59,000
He could get a decent burial and the family could go on with their lives. And we could kind of close it out and basically go on with ours.

255
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Two years after he had disappeared, Norman could finally be laid to rest.

256
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:13,000
The Williston police had used Noreen Reneer's clues of bricks, abandoned railroad tracks and a bridge to pinpoint the quarry where Norman had drowned in his truck.

257
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:24,000
And what of the numbers that Reneer divined? 45, 21, 22. It turns out that the quarry where Norman was found is located just off state route 45.

258
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:36,000
His truck was found exactly 2.1 miles from his front door. And finally the calendar date on Norman's diving watch was stopped on the number 22.

259
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,000
The Williston police department invited Noreen Reneer to work on the Norman Lewis case because they had nothing to lose.

260
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000
But there are a lot of families searching for missing loved ones who do have a lot to lose.

261
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:56,000
If you decide to work with the psychic detective, please make sure that you do it with the cooperation of local law enforcement and never give a psychic detective any money up front.

262
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Next, experts are calling it the most significant UFO encounter since Roswell.

263
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,000
This could be the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak.

264
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Flying saucers, reports of alien bodies at the scene, a government cover-up of monumental proportions.

265
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Put it all together and you have two of the most intriguing cases in the history of ufology. That's right, two.

266
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Obviously the Roswell incident of 1947 is one, but there is another almost identical case and it's happening right now in Brazil.

267
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Vittorio Pacaccini is one of Brazil's leading ufologists, a tireless investigator who has spent a lifetime researching thousands of UFO sightings throughout Brazil.

268
00:30:52,000 --> 00:31:00,000
But despite Pacaccini's best efforts, Brazil has never gained recognition as a major UFO hotspot, until now.

269
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:12,000
The sightings began early on the morning of January 20th, 1996. Pacaccini rushed to Varginha in eastern Brazil, where he took testimony from candle-writter Eurico Rodriguez de Fritas.

270
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:22,000
De Fritas claimed that he had seen a large and seemingly damaged saucer hovering at treetop level. It had panicked his herd.

271
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,000
A noise was made by the cattle and it got my attention. It was 1 a.m. and the object passed through here.

272
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:42,000
So what exactly did you see? Tell me the details. Details? Well, it was covered with smoke. It was a big object about the size of a small bus and it hovered for 40 minutes about 5 meters off the ground.

273
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Pacaccini tried to corroborate De Fritas' account and found more eyewitnesses, including the mayor of a neighboring town.

274
00:31:50,000 --> 00:32:02,000
It was an object almost the same size of a small bus. It was rectangular. I could see it had 5 lights. It was almost at the top of that eucalyptus tree.

275
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:12,000
There were also reports that the local fire department had been called out to investigate the appearance of a strange, humanoid creature on the outskirts of town.

276
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Varsina's fire department is also its animal control agency and routinely rounds up all kinds of wild animals that stray into populated areas.

277
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:28,000
But what they captured on the afternoon of January 20th was unlike any animal they had seen before.

278
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:38,000
The creature had been on a slope toward a wooded area and children had been throwing rocks at it probably because they didn't know what it was and were a bit frightened of it.

279
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000
The firemen didn't have any trouble capturing this creature because it was somewhat dazed, perhaps being hit by the rocks.

280
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
This creature was then carried off by the military.

281
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Throughout the day, the fire department and reportedly the military began to respond to calls from frantic citizens who were seeing more humanoid creatures.

282
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Based on the times of the calls and the distance between sightings, Pacaccini believes that there may have been as many as 5 different creatures.

283
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Most of the sightings were fleeting glimpses, but these young women claimed they saw much more.

284
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
They were coming from work, they were cleaning somebody's house, and then they decided to make this shortcut.

285
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:28,000
And all of a sudden, they just saw that creature, you know, just leaning against the wall, you know, bending down.

286
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
They got really scared. They thought it could be the devil.

287
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Liliane and Bacarina, I would like you to see this picture and see if it's close to what you have seen.

288
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,000
They were going to arrive at two o'clock and it was already 2.45 and they hadn't gotten home yet.

289
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,000
So I was really worried and I went to meet with them.

290
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:55,000
I got off my street at the corner and I met with Liliane and she was very nervous crying a lot.

291
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,000
And then Katia and Laquia were coming. After I had calmed them, they told me,

292
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Mama, I'm really scared because I think I saw the devil today.

293
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Based on their testimony, the creatures were dubbed alien beasts and linked to the UFO sightings.

294
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:20,000
The media began to demand answers, but in this case, Brazilian officials had very short memories.

295
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Did you see that kind of animal that was captured months ago?

296
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I was on holiday.

297
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
But is there anyone who can talk about it?

298
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Nobody.

299
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
But didn't you have any friends that were working here that day?

300
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
I was on holiday. What I know is what you know.

301
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
And what is it? I don't know.

302
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:49,000
However, Paccacini claims that a high-ranking member of the military told him off the record

303
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
that an alien creature was taken into custody.

304
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
They took it to Humanitas Hospital.

305
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Many different doctors, over 15 of them, were in that place.

306
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Intelligence people from the army, you know, that creature had this horrible smell.

307
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:14,000
One of the doctors came over and, you know, grabbed the creature's chin like this,

308
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:23,000
opened that little slit, and using tweezers, he grabbed the tongue and pulled it out a little bit.

309
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,000
It looked like a black ribbon, like some lizard, a tongue or something like that.

310
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Many people saw that. We have the statements recorded.

311
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000
And then he released this and it went back immediately.

312
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,000
According to this same anonymous source, at least two humanoid beings were captured

313
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
and examined at Humanitas Hospital.

314
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
They both died a short time later while in military custody.

315
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Paccacini claims his source told him that Brazil was not the only government

316
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
with an intense interest in the creatures.

317
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
One of the military witnesses indicated that the United States government

318
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:06,000
not only alerted the Brazilian military that this object was coming down,

319
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:14,000
but that several American officials had showed up and were on the scene to help direct process secretly.

320
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,000
I was quite impressed with the depth of investigation done by Mr. Paccacini.

321
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman was one of the original investigators of the Roswell incident.

322
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
I'm convinced that bodies were recovered down there.

323
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,000
The government made a substantial effort to shut things up

324
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000
and that thanks to the very hard work of a number of investigators down there,

325
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000
the story is coming out bit by bit.

326
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,000
The striking similarities between the Varsinis sightings and the Roswell incident

327
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
have not escaped UFO researchers.

328
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Information on Brazil is all over the internet

329
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:56,000
and this time, ufologists file proof of extraterrestrial contact won't slip through the world wide web.

330
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000
This is a very big story. It's recent.

331
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
A lot of people involved, medical, military.

332
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Some serious investigation, the press has gotten involved.

333
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,000
This could be the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

334
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Since our investigative team in Brazil filed this report,

335
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
UFO sightings have increased dramatically.

336
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
There has also been another sighting of a so-called alien,

337
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,000
spotted in a wooded area near Varsina.

338
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Sightings will bring you more information on the UFO activity in Brazil on future programs.

339
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Next, on December 31, 1999, the world will discover what a difference a day makes.

340
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Are you ready for the next millennium?

341
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Welcome to the end of the millennium.

342
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000
But before you start partying like it's 1999,

343
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
sightings has prepared a series of reports on the implications,

344
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
prophecies and problems that may come our way when the calendar turns over to 2000.

345
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Consider sightings millennium watches your survival guide for the 21st century.

346
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Predicting the future of planet Earth is ancient history.

347
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Nostradamus did it, so do the ancient Egyptians.

348
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000
And Native American tribes have all predicted specific dates

349
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
when significant events will rock the foundations of humankind.

350
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,000
But our fixation with the millennium is strictly New Testament.

351
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
There are various ways to conceptualize the attainment of the millennium.

352
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,000
The more common view is that the millennium will be brought about catastrophically.

353
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
According to Dr. Wojcik, many people believe there is a catastrophic link

354
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
between the millennium and the apocalypse.

355
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Generally, these beliefs assert that the contemporary world is so evil, it's corrupt,

356
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
it's irredeemable by human effort.

357
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000
So you need some kind of divine, supernatural transformation of the world.

358
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And then a new perfect world will be created after the contemporary world is destroyed.

359
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,000
The Book of Revelations established 1000 is the magic number,

360
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
the number of years that Christ will rule after Armageddon.

361
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000
This convinced early Christians that the second coming would arrive in the year 1000.

362
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
And many ominous and, to their mind, inexplicable events seem to support their apprehension.

363
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
At the close of the 10th century, there was a total solar eclipse,

364
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
a catastrophic plague, and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

365
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:28,000
But when 1000 arrived without incident, the year 2000 became the new focus for prognosticators.

366
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,000
The prophets have indicated that we're going to see a thermonuclear war in the Middle East

367
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
that will drag the whole world into it.

368
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:42,000
How Lindsay has been particularly influential since the early 70s

369
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,000
and his interpretations of the last Book of the Bible.

370
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:54,000
A very much focus on a one-world government and the possibility of a nuclear holocaust,

371
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
a cataclysmic type war,

372
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
stemming from a conflict between the forces of Antichrist,

373
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000
the evil forces, and the resistance as it were.

374
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
It's a very scary scenario.

375
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Doomsday scenarios like this one had kept generation after generation

376
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
looking over their shoulder for the end of the world.

377
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,000
400 years ago, Nostradamus linked the Millennium and Doomsday,

378
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,000
and the Maya civilization, which disappeared mysteriously 1000 years ago,

379
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:26,000
left us with a calendar linking the year 2012 and Earth's demise.

380
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000
While he doesn't believe the world is coming to an end,

381
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:36,000
millennial scholar Robert Howard does acknowledge that the world will be different on January 1st, 2000.

382
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,000
When you look at a date that's got a bunch of zeros after it,

383
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,000
suddenly I think people feel, I think everyone will feel a little bit off-balance by that.

384
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Instead of having like 1955 or some reference point, suddenly it's empty, it's like a clean slate.

385
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:57,000
And so whenever they're faced with the unknown, I think people become uncomfortable.

386
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Despite this uncertainty, or perhaps because of it,

387
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
record numbers of people are seeking spiritual enlightenment as the 20th century comes to a close.

388
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,000
People are realizing as they're faced with the new millennium and the uncertainty that comes with that.

389
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
I think people are faced with, again, a need for spiritual symbols.

390
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Dr. Lauren Artress is finding that this symbol of 13th century labyrinth from a French cathedral

391
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
has had a powerful effect on visitors since it was installed at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

392
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:33,000
This is an ancient tool that has been lying in the archives of many religious traditions, dusty and forgotten.

393
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Walking the labyrinth has really changed my life.

394
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:42,000
I found a profound way of being able to meditate as we look and walk into the next century.

395
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000
The concept of the new millennium as a fresh start is gaining a positive foothold among people around the world.

396
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Some have turned to the skies.

397
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
In Brazil, reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary are on the rise.

398
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Many people are adopting a more earth-friendly lifestyle to ward off the potential wrath of Gaia.

399
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
And UFOs are being touted as friendly harbingers of medicalactic peace and harmony.

400
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:11,000
The message that the aliens are giving us, and this is a message that occurs in millennial movements,

401
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
is that there has to be renewed faith, renewed hope. People have to change.

402
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
We're destroying the world. We're destroying each other.

403
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,000
So some sort of transformation has to occur throughout humanity.

404
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:26,000
It's not humanity we need to worry about, say technology experts.

405
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
People are predicting that the aliens will survive the year 2000, but it may be Armageddon for our computers.

406
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:42,000
People are predicting maybe 90% of computer software and hardware will not be able to handle the 2000 date.

407
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
There is the potential for there to be massive system-wide failures.

408
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Your web browser to your bank account could all become part of a massive computer crash.

409
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Scientists warn that this techno-disaster pales in comparison to what will happen on May 5, 2000,

410
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
when a rare planetary alignment could trigger global catastrophe.

411
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:13,000
The loss of life is going to be tremendous with land sinking and rising and tsunami and great storms as a result of all of these things.

412
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Volcanoes will be going off that have been cohescent for thousands of years.

413
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:23,000
But for every doomsayer, there is someone espousing a positive outlook for the next millennium.

414
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:31,000
People are realizing that the sun exploding and destroying the earth in some infinite future is not as satisfying as other possible beliefs.

415
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,000
People are going to believe what feels right to them or what makes sense to them.

416
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:41,000
The fact that these types of beliefs have existed forever indicates that probably won't happen.

417
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,000
The world's not going to end the year 2000.

418
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:51,000
There's so many conflicting apocalyptic traditions, not all of them can be right, I guess.

419
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Will the new millennium trigger apocalyptic social and geological changes?

420
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Or are we at the dawn of a new age of enlightenment?

421
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:07,000
Sightings will explore these theories and more as we continue to bring you millennium watch reports throughout the coming year.

Next on Sci-Fi Dark Shadows.

429
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
We all go a little mad sometimes.

430
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Vince Vaughn is Norman Bates in Gus Van Zandt's shot-for-shot remake of the greatest thriller of all time.

431
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Boy's best friend's his mother.

432
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Psycho, tomorrow at 9 p.m. on Sci-Fi.
