1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
On this edition of Psyche's, a millionaire's murder confounds the police.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,500
The beating itself was a particularly savage beating.

3
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15,500
Now psychic Dorothy Allison uncovers new leads.

4
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:17,500
Getting the killers, I love it.

5
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:23,000
Our excavations already underway on what many believe is the lost continent of Atlantis.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
This is a story that is real.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Among the many spirits encountered at this antebellum mansion is a mysterious lady in white.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,500
Now you're gonna ask me if I believe in ghosts.

9
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:36,500
Yes, I believe in them because I've seen one.

10
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,500
The mysterious power of laylines.

11
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:43,000
Can these energy force fields lead us to a better life?

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
It's not a clairvoyant sort of psychic thing.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
It's actually physically felt in your body.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,500
And the many means of seeing into the future.

15
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,500
When you're forewarned, you can be forearmed.

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
The power of the spirit.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
The power of the spirit.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
The power of the spirit.

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The power of the spirit.

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
The power of the spirit.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
The power of the spirit.

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
The power of the spirit.

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
The power of the spirit.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
The power of the spirit.

25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
The power of the spirit.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
The power of the spirit.

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
The power of the spirit.

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
The power of the spirit.

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
The power of the spirit.

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Psychic Detective Dorothy Allison loves to get a killer.

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And when she heard about the murder of Morris Lacks,

33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
she was more determined than ever.

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Morris Lacks survived the Nazi Holocaust.

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
He lived on after nearly everyone he knew was exterminated.

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
He moved to Canada, worked hard, built a personal fortune.

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
And then just as he was about to start enjoying the good life,

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
someone else decided it was time for the survivor to die.

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
This is where he went after he committed the murder.

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
He took the money to make it really look good, but he hated it.

41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
This is how he goes home.

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Now, when we're all about killing, you know what's that?

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I make it.

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
The psychic impressions tumble out,

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
clue upon clue that she believes will lead to a coward and a killer.

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
In her 40-year career, Dorothy Allison has provided leads

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
in over 1,000 unsolved crimes.

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
At the request of police detectives in Ontario, Canada,

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Dorothy has agreed to put all of her psychic energy

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
into the area's most baffling murder.

51
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And I had to say to myself,

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
why am I doing this? It's such a terrible work.

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
But no one says that to a cop.

54
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
I'm doing the same thing he's doing.

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
So you just take it in your stride and say to yourself,

56
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
hey, I have to find out who did that.

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And that's the satisfaction I get, getting the killers.

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I love it.

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
This is the victim, Morris Lacks, as a young man,

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
a Holocaust survivor, a self-made millionaire, a murder victim.

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
It was a Friday evening.

62
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I remember he had sent me to the bank to get him some money.

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
I gave it to him, and I told him that I would see him tomorrow

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
at his birthday party. And I never did.

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Another man might have stayed home on his 72nd birthday,

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
but Morris Lacks went to his scrap business.

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
The family knew his routine,

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
so when they couldn't reach him, panic set in.

69
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
My mother called me and said that she was concerned about my father.

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
So I drove down the mountain.

71
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Then when I came around the corner on Burlington Street,

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I saw the police yell at ribbons.

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
It was early, 6.30 a.m., December 19, 1992, when police found him.

74
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Morris Lacks had died on the same day he was born.

75
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
The beating itself was a particularly savage beating.

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
There were five to eight blows to the head area only.

77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
News of the senseless and brutal murder

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
sent shockwaves through Hamilton, Ontario.

79
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
He was strong. He was vibrant.

80
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
And he was raising millions of dollars for the state of Israel.

81
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Some fool had the life of such a man in his hand,

82
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
and he decided to take it.

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
It was a shock to me.

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
It was a shock to many people who knew him in the community.

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
As a man of a simple but not negotiable attitudes.

86
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000
While being 72 years old, he was hardly a shrinking violet.

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
He was a hailing, hearty man.

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
He survived the Nazi death caps, came to Canada, made a fortune,

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
and then started to share what he'd made.

90
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
This is the man who walked off a boat with no money.

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Through his own sheer will, ended up a multi-millionaire.

92
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:46,000
He was greeted in the halls of Israel by the top politicians.

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
When police found Morris Lacks' body, money had been stolen,

94
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
and so his death was considered the result of a botched robbery.

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
But his family and co-workers are not so sure.

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
This was a man that controlled substantial amounts of money

97
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
and substantial amounts of materials.

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
And I believed that it was a conspiracy.

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I believed that it had something to do with the scrap industry.

100
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
But after a four-year investigation,

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
police still don't know if this was a robbery or something more.

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
So now it's Dorothy Allison's turn to see, with her mind's eye,

103
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
what really happened at the scene of the crime.

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
When they first called me, said,

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
we have a murder case and we're having a little problem with it.

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
We can't seem to find out who killed this person.

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Then pictures start coming in, and then I say to myself,

108
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
well, this is where I must look today.

109
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
On site, Dorothy begins with a psychic survey of the crime scene photos.

110
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
It's the most gruesome, but also the most productive part of her investigation.

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
As I look at your pictures here,

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
each of you becomes very important as I look at these pictures.

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Unaware of the family's suspicions,

114
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Dorothy also senses that this was more than a random robbery.

115
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
I do get the feeling that the suspect has something to do with this building

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
that he was killed in front of.

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
In other words, he did some work in that building.

118
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
And that the killer knew how to get inside the locked building.

119
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
He also used the men's room.

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I believe on the day of the murder.

121
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
After she examines the photos,

122
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Dorothy asks to touch the murder weapon to sense the story it has to tell.

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
When he confronted him, it was about money,

124
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
but not the money that was in his pocket.

125
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
It was other money that he was interested in.

126
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Then detectives take Dorothy to the scene of the crime.

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
There, she is guided by a persistent vision.

128
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Now you know we have to find some kind of a plumbing thing like a toilet or a toilet, see?

129
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
OK.

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Dorothy finds what she's looking for in one of the older warehouses on the south side of the property.

131
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Yeah, that's bothering me more than anything. It's about to...

132
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Dorothy has a very strong sense that the killer must have known this business very well

133
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
because he had figured out how to get in and work his way around the property

134
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
without tripping any of the silent alarms.

135
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
That hole in the fence, I did not know...

136
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
That gob knew like crazy.

137
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Isn't that eerie?

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
There are things that she has pointed out that I had forgotten about.

139
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
I had forgotten they existed and when I walked back in there,

140
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
they were exactly as she described it.

141
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
In this forgotten building, Dorothy suddenly becomes very quiet.

142
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
She has a chilling realization. The killer has returned to the scene of the crime.

143
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Frank?

144
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I don't want to scare her, but he's been in here since the murder.

145
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Moments later, Dorothy finds the piece of plumbing from her earliest psychic vision.

146
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
There it is.

147
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
It was in this room, I thought.

148
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Dorothy is sure now. Morris Lacks was murdered by someone who knew him and his business.

149
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The psychic images are unwavering.

150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Dorothy is ready to go looking for the killer or where he hid out after the crime.

151
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Any place that you would consider underground where cars go.

152
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
She also senses a sign with the word red in it.

153
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
This is the red he'll express?

154
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Right direction.

155
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Just beyond the sign is Reed Street, one of the first names she'd given back at the police station.

156
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
I do see the numbers 93096.

157
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
What do the numbers mean?

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I feel very warm in this place. That's a good sign.

159
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:41,000
From a red sign to Reed Street to an underground garage, Dorothy finds her numbers.

160
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
9-0.

161
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
That's as close as we're going to get to 9-0.

162
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
The garage and the apartments above it are new directions for the police to investigate.

163
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:58,000
It's a promising new lead, especially in light of Dorothy's revelations about the nature of the crime and the killer's motive.

164
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And now, Ontario homicide detectives also have a new picture to consider.

165
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
A sketch of the face only Dorothy sees.

166
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Straight, sloppy hair.

167
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:19,000
The acuteness and the pinpoint accuracy with which Dorothy was able to bring the suspect to the crime scene.

168
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
It gives me a great hope that we're heading in the right direction.

169
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I'm almost embarrassed to say it's not about justice. It's not about any of those things.

170
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
I want the person who did this to pay for it. It's as simple as that.

171
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:38,000
I want to give every effort and every chance that I can give myself and the police to find this person.

172
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
He did a terrible thing. He should be caught.

173
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000
While a renewed homicide investigation begins to follow up on Dorothy's clues, the case remains unsolved.

174
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:55,000
The family is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Morris Lacks' killer.

175
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
If you have any information, contact the Hamilton, Ontario Police Department.

176
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Next.

177
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000
There's a great myth memory that haunts mankind of a lost civilization.

178
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Is Atlantis the missing link in the history of our world?

179
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Atlantis, the exquisite mythical city that sank beneath the waves 12,000 years ago.

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
The legend sparks everyone's imagination sooner or later.

181
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Generation after generation has dreamed about the ancient utopia with fertile land, a brilliant population,

182
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,000
and every treasure imaginable, and they've wondered, could Atlantis be real?

183
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Right now, on this shred of an island, archaeologists are slowly unearthing a city built by an ancient, advanced civilization

184
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
and destroyed by a great catastrophe. Are they unearthing Atlantis?

185
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
I think the time has come for us to consider seriously the possibility that our much-famous

186
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
and most-famous civilization is the ancient city of Atlantis.

187
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:05,000
The time has come for us to consider seriously the possibility that our much-vaunted, advanced, 20th century civilization

188
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:14,000
is indeed a civilization of children with amnesia who have forgotten their own parents

189
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000
because what would be recalled is almost too horrific to imagine.

190
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Graham Hancock, former foreign correspondent for The Economist, is now devoted to proving that ours is not the first civilization

191
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
to rise from the ashes of a global disaster, a theory that does not jive with mainstream science.

192
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Anything before 3000 BC is considered to be almost irrelevant to who or what we are today.

193
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000
We are the apex, the pinnacle of creation. It's a very self-satisfied, self-satisfying view.

194
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,000
The accepted view is that there has been only one global cataclysm, the one that destroyed the dinosaurs.

195
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
After that, humans developed slowly, taking millions of years to figure out how to make a spear,

196
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
and then, seemingly overnight, we're building pyramids.

197
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000
There doesn't appear to be this slow, gradual build-up of a civilization.

198
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:16,000
The glory of ancient Egypt just suddenly appears almost completely intact.

199
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Author David Hatcher Childress is a rogue archeologist who specializes in the discovery of lost cities around the world.

200
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:33,000
John Anthony West, a well-known Egyptologist, has said that Egyptian culture is like a legacy from an earlier culture.

201
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Call it Atlantis or whatever we want, but the Egyptian culture came from somewhere else.

202
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
We like to put it within inverted quotes and call it the A word, because as soon as you mention this word,

203
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
all kinds of scientists and scholars go absolutely ballistic.

204
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Atlantis, a world that worshiped strange gods of science, a science gone berserk in the dread house of fear.

205
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:05,000
This is what happens when you repeat a 10,000-year-old story one time too many, says respected scientist Charles Palagrino.

206
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:12,000
There's a lot of modern folklore about Atlantis that has arisen in the last 200 years or so,

207
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:25,000
but if you want to look for the origins of the Atlantis legend, your only real, written source close to the time that the kernel of truth behind the legend existed is back in the time of Plato.

208
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
You have to go back to about 350 BC.

209
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Plato's Atlantis has no death ray, weird science or people who breathe underwater.

210
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,000
His is a legend handed down from the Egyptians of an enchanted kingdom, the most advanced civilization on Earth,

211
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,000
blessed with secret knowledge, strange and marvelous flora and fauna, precious metals and peace.

212
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Atlantis was flourishing in 10,000 BC.

213
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:00,000
And then, as Plato writes, in a single dreadful day and night, all her men were swallowed up by the Earth

214
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000
and the islands of Atlantis were similarly swallowed up by the sea and vanished.

215
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Atlantis is a symbol. It's the classic Greek tragedy of something beautiful and something that had beauty and grace that vanished tragically in a single night.

216
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:27,000
But many researchers disagree with Pellegrino, insisting this is not a cautionary tale, but a true account of an actual civilization.

217
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Why else would Plato give specific dates and directions to Atlantis?

218
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:40,000
10,000 years ago, opposite the strait you call the Pillars of Hercules, there was a continent surrounded by a great sea.

219
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000
It's generally believed that the Pillars of Hercules are modern-day Gibraltar, gateway to the Atlantic,

220
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
and that somewhere under that great ocean is the lost continent of Atlantis.

221
00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:02,000
There's a great myth memory that haunts mankind of a lost civilization and a lost continent.

222
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,000
But one of the problems that has scuppered the search for Atlantis, quote-unquote, over the past hundred years or so,

223
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
has been that there is apparently no lost continent under any of the oceans of the world.

224
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
But wait, some scholars say. In Plato's time, the Pillars of Hercules were not Gibraltar,

225
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
but the pinnacle rocks of the Peloponnesus at the southern tip of Greece,

226
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
and opposite that strait, there is a lost civilization under the sea.

227
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Here in the Aegean, we have a story that is every bit as fascinating as the stories that are in our modern mythology about Atlantis,

228
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
and actually even more fascinating because this is a story that is real.

229
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
The island of Thera today is actually the tip of a giant volcanic crater,

230
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:01,000
and beneath these waters are the remains of an ancient civilization, almost identical to Plato's Atlantis,

231
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:07,000
and one blasted into oblivion by a global cataclysm. Almost.

232
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Almost because at least one of her cities did not sink completely.

233
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000
It is Akratiri, and so far it has taken more than 20 years to uncover just one city block,

234
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
buried under tons of volcanic ash.

235
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000
It literally is a lost Atlantis. They were very advanced technologically.

236
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000
We're finding homes are just honeycombed with plumbing, hints of central heating,

237
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
beautiful paintings that are found in every home,

238
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,000
very different from the artwork that you find anywhere else in the world except in the tomb of King Tut.

239
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
But where is the treasure? The great inventions.

240
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Akratiri is a ghost town completely cleared out.

241
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Archaeologists have not found a single coin, comb or bone anywhere in Akratiri.

242
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
The people here must have been warned by earthquakes or falling ash that the end was near.

243
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:08,000
It was the equivalent of about 120 hydrogen bombs all going off in the same place at the same time

244
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
in roughly the space of a hiccup.

245
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
It was the most powerful explosion that man has ever seen.

246
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
To say that Thera is Atlantis is too easy an answer.

247
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Many archaeologists want to try and explain Atlantis within the mundane theories of today's academia.

248
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
They go looking for an island and they're looking for a cataclysm.

249
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
And you don't have to go very far from Athens to find that.

250
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Childress's biggest beef is time frame.

251
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Thera exploded in 1500 BC, not 10,500 BC as Plato states.

252
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
But some researchers point out that's a difference of only one extra zero,

253
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
which could have been easily added as the legend was passed down.

254
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,000
So if the people, place and date are right, this must be Atlantis.

255
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,000
There are sunken areas all over the world where there are cities to be found.

256
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:14,000
There are more than 200 known sunken cities in the Mediterranean alone that doesn't necessarily make them Atlantis.

257
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Perhaps then there are two Atlantis's, Plato's Atlantis, a fable based on a real Greek culture,

258
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:28,000
and another Atlantis from our collective myth memory, a continent yet unfound.

259
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:34,000
And yet we do have a continent on our planet which is truly lost,

260
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
buried beneath the ice that now covers the Antarctic Peninsula.

261
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000
There I suspect we may find the cities, the great engineering works,

262
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
the libraries of an entire advanced and forgotten human civilization.

263
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000
What lies just beyond the shores of Akratiri where the people and their treasure laden boats undoubtedly sank?

264
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:06,000
We may never know. No one is allowed to dig, photograph, or even pleasure dive anywhere in the area.

265
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Why? Because the Greek government fears the discovery and piracy of their most ancient artifacts.

266
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Next is this newly discovered asteroid on a collision course with Earth.

267
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000
If an asteroid were to hit, it would shut out much of the sunlight for months, maybe as long as a year.

268
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Here are some of the stories Sightings is following in the news.

269
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Cold fusion was supposed to be the fuel of the future, clean, safe, efficient. It wasn't.

270
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
So, a few rogue researchers frustrated by the limits of modern science began to look back for inspiration.

271
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
All the way back to the mystical science of alchemy.

272
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
In Boulder, Colorado, researchers frustrated by the limitations of mainstream science

273
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
are experimenting with the ancient art of alchemy.

274
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000
The very word conjures up images of the occult of wizards and iconoclasts.

275
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:17,000
But the basic premise of alchemy is simple. Use chemistry to transmute one object into another.

276
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:27,000
While the original alchemists were trying to turn lead into gold, these new age alchemists have loftier goals to save planet Earth.

277
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:36,000
We as a group of scientists around the world are also trying to overcome the barrier that limits us from explaining the relationship between space, time, and gravity.

278
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Well, imagine a free energy planet where you didn't have to pay for your energy, where we could make anything from anything.

279
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Ancient alchemists sought to transform objects by adding chemicals, incantations, and magic.

280
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:01,000
In modern alchemy, scientists believe the trick is to subtract as much from the object as you can and then reform it. It is the devolution of science.

281
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:07,000
We have taken water and made nitrogen and fluorine. We have taken nitrogen and made hydrogen.

282
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:15,000
And most notably, a couple of years ago, we took nitrogen and made mass five, which is a missing element in the nucleonic chart.

283
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000
The new element has yet to be named and remains controversial.

284
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
But the real purpose of the new alchemy is moving forward.

285
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Alternative sources of energy and new ways to recycle or rather transform toxic waste are now being developed in this Colorado lab.

286
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:50,000
We would have something, I think, within a year or two years at the most that you could replace your carburetor with stainless steel plate, the insides of your engine, and drive off down the highway and have water vapor come out to exhaust and never have to go to a filling station again.

287
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
We'd have something that would revolutionize the whole planet.

288
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000
In Pasadena, California, JPL has just released images of the newest asteroid believed to be careening towards Earth.

289
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:18,000
It's called 1997 AC-11 and the images were captured from Earth by the NASA tracking system cameras located at Topmout Haleakala in Hawaii.

290
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:28,000
It is a member of a rare class of asteroids called ATINs of particular interest to scientists because they seem to gravitate toward planets.

291
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:36,000
AC-11 was discovered in January 1997 and may cross Earth's path as many as four times a year.

292
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:47,000
On a previous edition of sightings, we reported that each year about 10,000 pounds of extraterrestrial debris hit Earth's atmosphere, burn up and fall as dust.

293
00:22:47,000 --> 00:23:00,000
But it is believed that every million years or so, an enormous celestial body makes its way to Earth, crashes and obliterates everything in its wake, as is thought to be the case for the dinosaurs.

294
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:16,000
And if either a comet or an asteroid were to hit, it would come down, crash into the ground, make a crater tens of miles across, and it would leave in the high stratosphere a pall of dark material that would shut out much of the sunlight for months,

295
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:26,000
maybe as long as a year. And that would be a very, very serious thing. It might well result in mass starvation for millions, hundreds of millions, even billions of people.

296
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:38,000
The odds of such an asteroid hitting the Earth is a reassuring one in 20,000. And it's also comforting to know that AC-11 is not enormous, but it is 600 feet wide.

297
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:46,000
And this is what happened when a similar sized meteor hit the Arizona desert. A populated area would have fared much worse.

298
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Experts at NASA are monitoring 1997 AC-11, but still need more data to determine the real odds of its collision with Earth.

299
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:02,000
In the meantime, you can track the planetary path of this asteroid and others through the NEET website at this address.

300
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:12,000
We'll have more stories in the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up as sightings continues.

301
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:19,000
She died just months after marrying a Civil War soldier. Now 130 years later, she's back home.

302
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:27,000
It's very possible that he may have died from a broken heart. I'm putting himself in the line of fire just to be with her. Love can be that strong.

303
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Among the oldest and grandest American homes still standing today are the Annabella Mansions south of the Mason-Dixon line.

304
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Among them, Avanol. It's a 160-year-old plantation house that has remained unchanged since it was built in 1836.

305
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:56,000
A monument to the past, Avanol is also a very comfortable place to haunt if you happen to be a ghost.

306
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Avanol is the south, a place where you can almost hear Confederate soldiers marching off to fight a losing battle, feel the loss of the families left behind,

307
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:18,000
and if you're one of the lucky ones, you will see a wreath, the mysterious lady in white.

308
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:27,000
There is someone here, and I feel like whoever she is, she means no harm. She's here. She's just a part of Avanol.

309
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Since it was built in 1836, Avanol has been a house of history. Robert E. Lee was a frequent guest, so was Edgar Allan Poe.

310
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:46,000
It was a carefree life until William Burl was gone, and his wife Frances, or Ole Miss, as she was known, was left to run the plantation.

311
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:59,000
She had four daughters, she had 50 servants, plus everyone, of course, had their own lives to live. Everyone on occasion would be sick, hungry, giving birth.

312
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
She had a lot to take care of.

313
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:09,000
For Susan Overstreet and so many others who come here today, Avanol is a unique slice of living history.

314
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
It's truly a place that lives inside of you.

315
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Overstreet, Annette Allan, and Annette Peterson are restoring Avanol, drawn here by its historic legacy, kept here by the spirits inside.

316
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:31,000
We were having a committee meeting in the dining room. Within a minute, I could hear a noise. It was a noise I had not heard before.

317
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,000
It was a swishing sound, a rustling sound, and it got louder and louder.

318
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I couldn't put my finger on what this noise was, and at that moment, we realized that was the rustle of a hoop skirt.

319
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:53,000
The unseen figure in the rustling hoop skirt also seemed to rock in empty chairs and turned down just made beds.

320
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
The women asked former resident Peggy Moppen if she'd seen things too.

321
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Now you're going to ask me if I believe in ghosts. Yes, I believe in them because I've seen one. I saw the white lady.

322
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Peggy Moppen knows Avanol. Her family lived there for 80 years. She was just a young girl when she saw the lady in white, but the memory is still with her.

323
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
She came on up where the street is now.

324
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
And when she got over across the street there, there was a big oak tree. She disappeared.

325
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:33,000
And my mother turned and said, did any of you see what I've just seen? Well, several of us said yes.

326
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Well, I always thought it was Ms. Burl just looking after the place.

327
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Most people thought it was the ghost of Francis Burl, but Ole Miss was somber, care-worn,

328
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
not the kind of woman to float through Avanol in a white dress.

329
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:57,000
So, Sightings asked psychic investigator Debbie Carvelli to investigate the home and determine the identity of the lady in white.

330
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
She claimed to make contact in the attic.

331
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:08,000
There definitely is a presence here. I think that there's a little bit of sadness too because of all of the hardships and the difficulties that they went through,

332
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
but I definitely feel that there's that particular feeling here.

333
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:21,000
In this bedroom, Carvelli claimed to make contact again. She said she was seeing the ghost and hearing a name, Van.

334
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:31,000
There's a woman's face, and there's crying, a lot of crying. I feel it's Van. I do not think it's Ole Miss.

335
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:41,000
She wants to get it back, but she knows it won't be in the same way. The family and the closeness and all a part of life.

336
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
It was home. It was happy, even though there were some sorrow.

337
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Van was Fanny, William and Frances Burl's third daughter. Many a disappointed suitor had lost his heart to the enchanting southern bell,

338
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
who was known as the Flower of Avanol.

339
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:06,000
She was close to everyone, and I think she just must have a wonderful personality that anyone could love.

340
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:14,000
At the height of the Civil War, soldiers knew Avanol as a refuge, a place to get a hot meal and try to win Fanny's heart.

341
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000
But that belonged to James Breckenridge, who Fanny had known since childhood.

342
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:27,000
They got back together when they got a little older and just found out they had a lot in common, and just fell very deeply in love.

343
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:36,000
When James was called to war, the two married quickly. Fanny didn't see her husband again for many months until she joined him during a short furlough.

344
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,000
It was the first and last time they would kiss as husband and wife.

345
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Apparently she contracted typhoid, came back to Avanol, and in August, 1862, just months after she had married, Captain Breckenridge, she died.

346
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
James was fighting a losing battle when he heard the terrible news.

347
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Captain Breckenridge, rather than to come back to a fallen country, south had lost, and his bride had died, put himself before enemy fire, and was killed.

348
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:22,000
It's very possible that he may have died from a broken heart, and put himself in the line of fire just to be with her. Love is that way. It can be that strong.

349
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Today, Fanny and James Breckenridge are together again, but in name only. James's body was never found, and so Fanny's body was buried alone, but her spirit, many now believe, is still waiting for James before she will rest in peace.

350
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Love is a very powerful emotion, and it can withstand all time.

351
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:58,000
So Fanny, who met her true love at Avanol, married at Avanol, and died at Avanol, may never stop wandering, until she's reunited with the lost spirit of her beloved Captain.

352
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,000
No one is certain when the White Lady of Avanol first appeared, but there is one clue that she may have been in the house from the very beginning.

353
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Avanol was named after a house in Sir Walter Scott's novel titled The Monastery, and that fictional Avanol had a ghost called the White Lady.

354
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Next, the mysterious power of laylines.

355
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:26,000
The whole earth is surrounded by these invisible force field lines. Those are laylines.

356
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:42,000
If you were to look at a map of all the different sacred places around the world, you would find that many of them are built along straight paths that sometimes circle the globe.

357
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Most scientists believe that these precise paths, called laylines, are a striking but insignificant coincidence.

358
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Then there are others who believe that the placement of monuments along laylines was a deliberate act by ancient mystics who could feel the earth's secret energy.

359
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Imagine that the whole earth is surrounded by a spider web of subtle energy currents.

360
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:21,000
It can't be seen, felt, tasted, but the whole earth is surrounded by these invisible force field lines. Those are laylines.

361
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:28,000
In 1921, photographer Alfred Watkins made a startling observation from atop a hill in Hertfordshire, England.

362
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:35,000
The ancient mounds and monuments below him were perfectly aligned all the way to the horizon.

363
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Suddenly he had this image of fairy lines, he called them.

364
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:51,000
When he saw cathedrals, churches, old stone monuments, wells that were on straight lines of alignment, and he began to say,

365
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,000
well, look, if this is here and this is here, are they line up? I wonder why?

366
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,000
And out of that was born the idea that he called them laylines.

367
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Most scientists scoff at laylines, but the fact that sacred sites worldwide do line up along invisible paths does strike some as more than coincidence.

368
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:17,000
People in earlier times and cultures were much more aware of these things than we are today.

369
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,000
But intuitively we are drawn like magnets to sacred places.

370
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:32,000
People flock to places like Machu Picchu, Stonehedge, Avebury, Glastonbury, and they don't always know why.

371
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000
The electromagnetic fields that are there are actually stronger.

372
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,000
They're sufficiently stronger that they elevate and change your brain waves,

373
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:49,000
moving you into alpha and theta states that are associated with creativity and insight and spiritual revelation.

374
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,000
James Swan is an author and naturalist who believes in the power and reality of invisible earth energy.

375
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,000
He uses the ancient art of dowsing to detect and map laylines.

376
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,000
There's a couple of ways to detect laylines, the first of which is animal behavior.

377
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Animals gravitate towards laylines. They love them.

378
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Deer tracks, rabbit tracks, migration paths of birds, that sort of thing.

379
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
The second is that they can be sensed and felt.

380
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:24,000
It's not a clairvoyant sort of psychic thing. It's actually physically felt in your body.

381
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:34,000
What dowsing does is simply to amplify that experience of the subtle difference in crossing through this invisible current of energy.

382
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:41,000
After years of traveling the world, Swan and his colleagues are studying the power of laylines in an urban setting.

383
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Seattle, Washington is the first city in modern history to map its laylines.

384
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
The project has been organized by the non-profit Geo Group,

385
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,000
which is attempting to bring the pulsing currents of earth energy into the public consciousness.

386
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:03,000
It's possible then if you begin to map out a city and you read the laylines and you read the chi,

387
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,000
it's possible to work with those things and incorporate them into design

388
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:16,000
to begin to reduce violence and create a sense of creativity and spiritual inspiration within places.

389
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
What we're proposing to do here is the exact same thing that was done all over the world by ancient people of every civilization.

390
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:32,000
They found special places on the earth and then they used earth and stone to build places of power and sacredness for their culture, for their society.

391
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Geo Group president Chuck Pettis used dowsing rods to locate what he believes are all of the laylines in the Seattle area.

392
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,000
He then consulted with artist Mike Sweeney to create what looks at first glance like mass transit gone awry.

393
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,000
It's a layout of the laylines and the power centers in Seattle area.

394
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000
The crystals indicate where the laylines actually enter the earth and that's where the power centers created.

395
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:08,000
The goal is to enhance the overall energy within the city of Seattle to make Seattle a better place to live, a more spiritual place to live, a more healthy place to live.

396
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Spiritual monuments don't dot Seattle's laylines, yet.

397
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:22,000
If we were in Scotland, Ireland, England, many ancient places, this place that we are standing by would have a stone circle, it would have a standing stone.

398
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
It would have a mound, it would be a special place.

399
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,000
But the city of Seattle has only been here for a hundred years.

400
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
So this is a virgin power center.

401
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:39,000
What we need to do is create a space here, put in a standing stone, a seating area to make this place special.

402
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:47,000
So far, the Geo Group has a $5,000 city grant to begin to design what they hope will be the stone hinges of America.

403
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000
These power centers are special places on the body of the earth.

404
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:58,000
So by building beautiful artworks on these special places, we're healing the earth.

405
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:04,000
We're making the earth more healthy, which creates a sense of world peace and harmony.

406
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,000
The Seattle Layline project is ongoing, but two major obstacles are standing in the way.

407
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:18,000
The organizers want to involve more artists and officials in other cities to expand the scope and influence of their layline monuments.

408
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
And as is the case with most public art programs, they need more funding.

409
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Next, how to see into the future.

410
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:34,000
The definition has probably been around as long as humankind had some sort of idea that there was going to be a tomorrow.

411
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:46,000
In our continuing series of reports on the impact of the millennium, sightings is finding a pattern.

412
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,000
As the year 2000 approaches, almost everything old is new again.

413
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Through religion, meditation, psychics and soothsayers, more and more people are searching for divine inspiration.

414
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,000
And believe it or not, even tea leaves are back.

415
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Divination has probably been around as long as humankind had some sort of idea that there was going to be a tomorrow.

416
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Since the dawn of consciousness, humankind has looked for a way to predict the mysterious path divine forces have planned for us.

417
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:29,000
And it is the most ancient methods of divination, says author, Wiccan practitioner and diviner Trish Tolesco, that will propel us safely into the next millennium.

418
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:39,000
We're coming up on a very important juncture in human history where we're looking back on 2000 years of chronicled history.

419
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Some people are afraid, some people are expectant, some people are hopeful and some people just don't know what to look forward to.

420
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:54,000
So they're using divination as one way of hopefully exploring a little bit of what the future holds for them.

421
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Diviners have always looked to natural forces for signs of the future.

422
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,000
At first, these omens came from unexpected celestial events.

423
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Then, by charting what was already there with astrology.

424
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Soon there was graphology, numerology, palmistry and tarot cards that would call upon the reader's psychic ability for divination.

425
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:23,000
There probably isn't anything on this planet or in the heavens that people haven't used at least once to try and figure out their future.

426
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000
And the divination revival means new methods are being developed all the time.

427
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Coffee now replaces tea and tea leaves for psychic and diviner Jorri-En de Frey.

428
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
I use a cup of coffee as though it's a crystal ball.

429
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:46,000
I'm able to pour half and half cream into the coffee and from the bubbles, the steam and the cream I'm able to access a lot of information psychically.

430
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:55,000
She doesn't read the grounds, but rather it's the swirling pattern of images at the surface of the cup that inspire Jorri-En's psychic impressions.

431
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000
For me, coffee divination is 100% accurate.

432
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Oh, and look at if, it's actually spelled out if and here.

433
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,000
I see letters, faces, numbers, body parts, broken bones, spirits.

434
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,000
I see scenery in the coffee. It's pretty fantastic.

435
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,000
I had one woman when I was reading her, I had said, well, I think you're sick.

436
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,000
And as soon as we're done with this reading, I think you need to go right to the doctors.

437
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Okay, now that was Sunday. She went to the doctors Monday.

438
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:34,000
She was hospitalized immediately. They did a triple bypass on her.

439
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
It's just that sense that I'm able to help somebody. You know, it's a nice feeling.

440
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Trish Tolesco's research indicates that divining is as individual as the diviner.

441
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:56,000
A person who works with tools all the time might want to make a cast-itum system out of nuts, bolts, nails and other things that they personally relate to.

442
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:02,000
For herself, Trish has adapted the ancient method of throwing some apprecious stones for divination.

443
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Each stone has a meaning based on what ancient people believed it could do for them by carrying it.

444
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:16,000
A lot of crystals were carried as amulets, talismans and charms to protect people from the evil eye or whatever.

445
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:25,000
I adopted that as a meaning for the stone set and then where the stone lands in conjunction to other stones helps amplify that meaning.

446
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:33,000
So you kind of get a pattern that represents what's going on now and moving towards the future.

447
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Geraldine Saunders is a physiognomist who divines the future from the palm and the face.

448
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:46,000
She is also a celebrated author who believes divination can not only predict but sometimes change the inevitable.

449
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,000
I think it's important for people to know the future because then they can be prepared.

450
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:59,000
That's the advantage of knowing about all these subjects because when you're forewarned you can be forearmed.

451
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Geraldine also uses astrology and numerology for divination but it is the unique lines in each person's palm that show her the clearest path to future events.

452
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Palmistry is a scientific art like medicine.

453
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:23,000
The reason palmistry really works is the fact that the universal intelligence has given you these lines when you're born.

454
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:28,000
We are each issued a blueprint and it's right here in our palm.

455
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Geraldine believes that everyone can benefit personally from some form of divination

456
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:42,000
but she warns it will take a collective global effort to recharge the catastrophic future foretold by other diviners.

457
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Dr. Dommas certainly had a lot of foresight in his predictions but I think maybe with group consciousness knowing that these things could happen that we can be able to change that.

458
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:06,000
And say divination practitioners, this group consciousness will come when more people begin to read the signs and take them seriously no matter how unusual the method.

459
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:15,000
There is a new millennium, fast approaching and diviners and psychics warn extra batteries and a gallon of drinking water just won't cut it anymore.

460
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:27,000
I think people should know that when according to numerology will be a different numerical cycle and things will change practically overnight.

461
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Another trend we're sensing in sightings is that the closer we get to 2000 and that's just mm in Roman numerals, the more spiritual and innovative we become.

462
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Have you thought about how you will ring in the future and all those zeros? The millennium is coming, ready or not?

463
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Sightings, UFOs, a new book from author Susan Michaels, drawn from the files of sightings. Sightings, UFOs is a comprehensive survey of compelling UFO encounters.

464
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Was Washington D.C. the object of extraterrestrial surveillance in 1952? Have our nuclear facilities been invaded by silent intruders?

465
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:37,000
What really happens at 39,000 feet, commercial pilots speak out? These are only a few of the stories contained in Sightings, UFOs from Fireside Books.

466
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

467
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:58,000
A three hour blast of superheroic adventure is coming your way. First up, an ancient Celtic warrior steps through time, sacrificing all those who oppose him.

468
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:05,000
That is until Mantis makes the scene. Enter the dimension of power, sci-fi channel next.

469
