00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,520
On this edition of Sightings, this serene dairy farm in upstate New York was the scene

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,760
of one of the most baffling encounters in UFO history.

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,360
I had some pictures of it that I took and the Air Force took them and they wouldn't

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,800
leave them let me have them.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,600
It flows through our bodies just as it flows through the universe and its benefits are

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,040
miraculous, how to capture the power of Qi.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,600
Her photographs consistently show mysterious phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,800
I'm still wondering myself why these things show up on my film.

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,520
Where does the vision come from?

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,360
What power do people who call themselves psychic really possess?

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000
I see the way they see because I'm not me anymore, them.

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,920
And a remarkable update about a man who says he's discovered the ancient wisdom to predict

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,640
earthquakes.

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:23,520
Music

15
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Welcome to Sightings.

16
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,280
I'm Tim White.

17
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,360
For nearly two decades, the United States Air Force appeared to be taking

18
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,520
a real interest in the potential threat from UFOs or UFObs, as they were called in the early days.

19
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Project Blue Book examined 12,618 reports and determined that less than 6% were true unknowns,

20
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,760
proving, they said, that there is no significant UFO threat.

21
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,240
Looking back at one of those true unknown cases today, the Air Force's conclusion may have been somewhat hasty.

22
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Music

23
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,600
I thought, well, what the hell did I do to deserve this?

24
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,440
All these guys coming in telling me that if I don't keep my mouth shut, they're going to throw me in jail.

25
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,960
Harold Butcher had never been treated so harshly, but then again,

26
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,760
he'd never seen anything so completely astonishing.

27
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,440
I've never seen anything move as fast as this thing moved and disappeared and come back as

28
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,120
quick as it did. It moved so fast that you couldn't hardly see it. It just, it was there one minute

29
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,920
and gone the next.

30
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Seen once, remembered for a lifetime. Outside this barn in Cherry Creek, New York, 1965,

31
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Harold was 16.

32
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,520
As he was working in the barn, he noticed that the radio he was listening to became

33
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,480
staticky and blanked out. He had been listening to music and there was a glow in the sky and he

34
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,080
ran to the window to see what was happening and saw this gigantic object descending.

35
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,280
What it was or where it came from is still unexplained, but not for lack of trying.

36
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,200
Two investigative units combed this area. One was the Air Force's Project Blue Book,

37
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,120
the other a civilian watchdog group.

38
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,920
And NYCAP sent one of our investigation teams to the scene. There was one in western New York State

39
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,520
and they were there within one day of the sighting.

40
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,520
At the time, Richard Hall was assistant director of the National Investigations Committee on

41
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,200
Aerial Phenomena. NYCAP's distinguished membership included scientists, philosophers,

42
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,440
retired military personnel, people interested in solving the UFO mystery.

43
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,920
NYCAP came into existence because the Air Force was being very secretive about UFOs

44
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,320
and it was felt that a high level civilian group could maybe pry loose some information.

45
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:50,000
We were basically adversarial. The Air Force, we felt, was hiding information and we were trying

46
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,760
to get information out. When Project Blue Book went into the field, NYCAP was right on their heels,

47
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,800
doggedly gathering information and eyewitnesses that the Air Force had overlooked.

48
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:07,840
Project Blue Book was the Air Force office that investigated UFO sightings for the United States

49
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,560
government. The Air Force system of Blue Book was to label reports in one of three ways. Either it

50
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,440
was explained, in which case they would say what they thought it was, an aircraft or a balloon or

51
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:26,640
whatever, or it was unexplained, unknown, they used to say, and the third was insufficient data.

52
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
The incident at Cherry Creek was labeled as a true unknown.

53
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,480
It was a very interesting case and went one with multiple evidence including the electromagnetic

54
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,640
effects, the physical traces, the illumination, everything. It was a classic mainline UFO sighting.

55
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,160
Well it looked like an airplane. It was that big. And when it sat in the field it had three legs on it.

56
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,000
It looked like two turkey platters put together with a roll of rivets around the outside

57
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,360
and it sat there a good five minutes. So I got one real good look at it and I've never seen my

58
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,920
animals act the way that these did because they jumped and kicked and bucked and made

59
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:16,000
all kinds of ungodly noises. He claimed to have seen this object descending and then ascending

60
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,280
and he reported various details including a red vapor emanating from the lower edge of the of the

61
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:29,840
object. Claimed he saw the object take off, accelerate rapidly, disappear into clouds,

62
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,560
coloring the clouds green. That's the sighting as a condensed version of it that's contained in the

63
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,040
nightcap file. Bob Galgansky has carefully researched the incident at Cherry Creek and has spent many

64
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,480
hours trying to track down additional eyewitnesses like the two state troopers who filed an official

65
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:54,800
police report then just seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. They had a lot to lose by

66
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,240
reporting this. They were risking their reputation and for them to come out and actually state that

67
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,160
they had seen something like that meant a great deal to me. It indicated to me that something

68
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,480
genuine was happening in the area. Dick Nelson still lives next to the Butcher farm and remembers

69
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,760
talking to the troopers the night of the UFO incident. Well after the policemen saw it they had

70
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,440
a whole different attitude towards it. They couldn't believe what they saw. Then the big guns descended.

71
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,120
The Air Force arrived to investigate and on their heels was nightcap.

72
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:36,000
Next thing I know here come this guy from the Air Force. They had a truckload of guys that taped

73
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,280
off the whole area out there and put a guard on each corner of the property there. That's when

74
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,160
Butcher says he was threatened by the Air Force officer in charge for taking pictures of the

75
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:56,160
military investigation. I had some pictures of it that I took and the Air Force took them and

76
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,280
they wouldn't leave and let me have them. They told me if I had any more pictures and if they come

77
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:08,320
out I would end up in jail or do not have one of the two. They were scared. I mean everybody was scared.

78
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,160
I believe there was a UFO sighting at Cherry Creek at the at the Carr farm. I don't think it was

79
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:24,000
because it had the degree of strangeness that the nightcap report would seem to indicate it had.

80
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,200
Kalgansky's conclusions please no one. Yes Air Force work was shoddy but Butcher's testimony is too

81
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:37,760
inconsistent for anyone military or civilian to explain. What you find is a gradual escalation

82
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:45,360
of detail. You find that Harold begins to tell the second team of investigators different things

83
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:52,160
that he didn't tell the first and there's this gradual polishing of the account. Richard Hall

84
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,640
does not agree. There's some minor discrepancies in the report but that almost makes it more

85
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,480
believable too because if you get absolute perfect uniform testimony then you got to be

86
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,680
suspicious that something was rehearsed. Ironically the most compelling support for Harold Butcher's

87
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,160
UFO encounter comes from the Air Force itself which concluded that this one was a true unknown.

88
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:23,840
That to me is the most perplexing aspect of this entire case and why the Air Force which had never

89
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,920
ever been UFO friendly would classify this as unidentified is beyond me. The fact that the

90
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:36,000
Air Force classified this as an unidentified is very interesting and very significant because

91
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,560
they were very stingy about doing that. Ordinarily they would be very happy if they could label

92
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:46,560
deciding and get rid of it if it was you know even if it was stretching the truth they would try to

93
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:51,280
explain it as an aircraft or a balloon or strobe lights or something a meteor. Maybe they let this

94
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,880
one slip by or maybe indeed there's something more to it than we know. I think perhaps the fact that

95
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,520
nightcap was on the scene at the same time they were might have inhibited them a little bit in

96
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:08,640
this case because they knew we had the goods on it. Cherry Creek is one of more than 600

97
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,480
true unknown cases reported at the Air Force between 1948 and 1969. However investigating

98
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,640
these cases further is next to impossible. If you FOIA Blue Book's unknowns today witness names

99
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:28,240
addresses in fact all pertinent information is blacked out. Next how to harness the miraculous

100
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,760
and universal healing power of Chee. I look the same on the outside but it changed me internally

101
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:46,800
for the rest of my life. There is a machine that you use every day that doesn't plug in take batteries

102
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:52,880
or operate on gasoline or foot power. It's your heart and why it keeps on beating non-stop for a

103
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,000
lifetime is a genuine mystery. Some people believe it's a perpetual motion machine or

104
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,600
proof of a spiritual life force and for more than a billion people the vital energy that keeps you

105
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:10,000
alive has a name. It's called Chee and Chee the Chinese believe is yours to command.

106
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:30,000
In western culture time is money you can't be too rich or too thin but you can have it all

107
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,080
including the stress and illness that go along with it. The fight to get ahead and stay there

108
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,280
takes its toll physically and psychologically it's the downside of the American dream.

109
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:49,360
In China the road to success and well-being is paved with Chee Gong an ancient healing system

110
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:56,480
just taking hold in the west. Imagine the hands are touching the blue sky they leave a Chee into

111
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:03,440
the brain. In workshops throughout the U.S. Chee Gong master Luke Chan teaches students how to gather

112
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:10,400
and exchange the healing power called Chee. You do have the power you have the self healing power

113
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:16,320
so it's not something that I am the master and I'm the healer so I take care of you every time you

114
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:23,440
come in. No we teach you a method so that you can take care of yourself at home. Chee means energy

115
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,280
Gong means daily effort practitioners of Chee Gong believe that Chee is energy that flows throughout

116
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:35,440
the universe and flows through our bodies energy that can be directed at physical and emotional pain.

117
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:49,200
Chan teaches Chee Layle a special form of Chee Gong. All heal that disappear now. Practitioners

118
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,960
believe that although there is Chee everywhere it is not everywhere in equal measure. Chee can be

119
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:01,280
gathered into a concentrated energy field so the larger the group the more healing energy there is

120
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:08,480
for everyone. And then while you're moving you you are visualizing that actually the whole body

121
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,720
disappears in the universe including your illness just disappear just disappear and then when you

122
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:20,560
get that life energy in you get the love the energy into your body and then meanwhile you confirm

123
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,920
or you you confirm to yourself your illness disappear so once you are in this Chee field

124
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:35,920
or loving Chee field you're not alone means that we all as individual has the right to be here to be

125
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:43,920
free to be free of sickness. Luke Chan's own teacher is Chee Layle Grandmaster Dr. Pong Ming

126
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:49,840
an esteemed physician school in both Eastern and Western medicine. In 1988 Dr. Pong garnered

127
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,840
international attention when he opened the world's largest drug-free hospital without so much as a

128
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:03,680
single aspirin. Dr. Pong claims his center has helped 130,000 patients curing heart disease kidney

129
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:13,360
and gallbladder stones leukemia bone cancer diabetes and arthritis. But his most astounding

130
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,240
and controversial claim is that this film documents a spontaneous cancer remission

131
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:25,040
for Chee Gong masters create a concentrated Chee field and as they do the tumor seems to dissolve

132
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:38,400
then disappear. Deborah Weisenberger was so motivated by her success with Luke Chan

133
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:45,840
she went to China to see Dr. Pong. When I arrived in China we exercised with about 3,000 people

134
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,800
some people were very young some people were very old people and stretchers and everyone

135
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:58,480
was visualizing the same positive environment in order to heal themselves. I saw what we would

136
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:06,560
call a miracle every day several times a day a dozen times a day I saw a young boy who was blind

137
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:15,040
suddenly be able to see I saw numerous people with tumors and the tumors disappeared all the

138
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,560
people were working together it's not like just one person is healing one other person

139
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:26,240
it's the entire community of people working together so the thinking is all as one I looked

140
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:33,200
the same on the outside but it changed me internally for the rest of my life. In 1994

141
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:41,440
Don Rutherford received a devastating diagnosis Don had MS multiple sclerosis a crippling degenerative

142
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:48,240
disease that can be fatal and for which there is no cure MS attacks the nervous system and the brain

143
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:57,360
death is often agonizingly slow when I was first told I had it I was not scared as much as in

144
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:07,360
shock I just figured it was over it's kind of like uh getting ready to die I guess we're going to battle

145
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,240
your dad

146
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,160
neurologist Dr. Karen Thalinger made the diagnosis

147
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:23,920
some of the most common symptoms would be transient loss of vision in one eye double vision

148
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,120
an area of numbness over a part of the face arm or leg other patients can have difficulty with

149
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:38,240
speech the most severe case would be when the patient could be totally bedridden immobile

150
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:48,240
mute and blind on a good day I would stagger on a bad day I would sit down and I'd go anywhere

151
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,640
the illness is there now what do I want to do with it do I want to die with it

152
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:04,400
doing the movement number one does several things the first thing it does is it puts me in control

153
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,160
with use of this and it doesn't happen overnight but with practice

154
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,480
uh the quality of your life will improve as far as I'm concerned there's nothing

155
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:24,160
special or miraculous I do the work I get to pay off it's that simple I don't think I know it's

156
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:30,480
alleviating symptoms because I can tell you that just by being in here or noticing it changed my

157
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:38,160
life completely there may be no scientific measure for the power of chi but in new york city

158
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,160
university professor Joan gondola was ready to try anything after years of back pain aggravated by

159
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,840
stress what are we doing how fast when how when can we eat when do we stop when do we do this

160
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:55,040
that's what we've evolved to so much of a rush we don't even know who we are

161
00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:01,920
Joan came to Chi-Lail not for a cure but for a way to relax we focus and figure out who she really was

162
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:08,880
with wisdom comes compassion because one reaches out and knows that the wisest thing is that

163
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,000
self is only a small part of what the universe is about I believe that I have become wise for

164
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:21,200
more compassionate more of us to do that the more the world changes we inside of ourselves make

165
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:29,360
peace then the world has to change people brush their teeth and then you brush your teeth every day

166
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:35,120
and then your teeth last longer and if you do chi or chi go 15 minutes a day your body will last

167
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:42,080
longer you become younger forward slowly we are not saying that we're replacing the doctors

168
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,400
just like you press your teeth you go to see your dentist it's something you really look forward

169
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:55,280
to do it every morning because basically you massage your body every day you feel so good you feel

170
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,400
so good so as soon as people realize it it's good for them and they will do it

171
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,880
there are many claims about the power of chi and what it can do for you but some claims especially

172
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,360
those relating to spontaneous healing are extremely controversial according to master

173
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:19,760
luke chan chi is not about making miracles it's about improving the energy that you're born with

174
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,760
next does a newly discovered branch of ancient mankind help explain bigfoot

175
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,640
later journey inside the minds of the world's greatest psychics

176
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,320
here are some of the stories sightings is continuing to follow in the news

177
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:48,960
bigfoot advocates are feeling pretty smug these days for years cryptozoologists have argued that

178
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,160
neanderthal man and homo sapiens are not the only humans to have walked the earth together

179
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,760
there's a third human species out there they've been insisting and it turns out they're probably right

180
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:09,440
in java on the banks of the solo river skulls of an early human species

181
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,160
homo erectus have been on earth and from a time when they should have been extinct

182
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,960
while some scientists believe that these fossils are a very early branch on bigfoot's family tree

183
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,760
most will only say that it is time to challenge the belief that we are the direct descendants of

184
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:32,320
homo erectus we always knew before that our family tree was more of a bushy kind of tree

185
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:39,520
what the new findings show is that the the bushyness of the tree went to very very recent times and

186
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,560
that should give us pause to think i mean there is homo erectus homo sapiens perhaps also the

187
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:50,640
neanderthals as a different species walking around at the same time mainstream anthropologists have

188
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,560
only recently acknowledged that homo sapiens ever coexisted with anybody at all and so their

189
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:04,160
acceptance of a third species hovers between slow and stagnant but some scientists are encouraged

190
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,080
and moving forward quickly the discovery that homo erectus has apparently outlived its supposed

191
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:15,920
extinction by more than 200 000 years gives hope to those who feel that reports of bigfoot's extinction

192
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:27,520
are greatly exaggerated on the worldwide web of blood sucking humanoid first discovered in

193
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:34,960
port rico is now invading the internet the chupacabra or goat sucker is the latest monster to emerge

194
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,320
from the shadows of myth and take the heat for a mysterious string of bizarre livestock deaths

195
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,760
with one mouse click you can download images get up to date fast with the chupacabra timeline

196
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,040
and read firsthand accounts as they come in from new eyewitnesses monster sightings have never been

197
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:59,600
greater and the chupacabra now has two websites you can connect with goat sucker or the chupacabra

198
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:10,400
homepage at these addresses in adelaide canada the results of a significant new ufo survey

199
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:16,640
suggests that the us is no longer the ufology capital of the world a renowned polling firm the

200
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:23,280
angus reed group surveyed more than 1500 carefully chosen adults who statistically speaking represent

201
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:30,480
all of canada the pollsters found that a remarkable 70 of all canadians believe in the possibility of

202
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:38,160
extraterrestrial life when asked if they think alien beings have already visited earth 50 said yes

203
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:46,640
and another 40 said that if they haven't already they will as Hubble probes uncharted space territory

204
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,080
and nasa announces there may be life on mars a majority of canadians may just be reflecting what

205
00:21:52,080 --> 00:22:02,240
the rest of the world is thinking we are not alone we'll have more stories in the news next time

206
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,880
now here's what's coming up as sightings continues capturing spirit energy on film has traditionally

207
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:15,040
been an accidental process now this woman says she can photograph ghosts at will i call myself a

208
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,560
psychic photographer because i don't see the things that i photograph they just appear on my film

209
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:33,440
ghost photographs have a long and dubious history when supposed spirits first began appearing in the

210
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:39,280
late 1800s cameras were new invention and even a simple double exposure could fool just about

211
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,640
everyone today with advanced technology and computer analysis truly unexplained spirit

212
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,480
photographs like the ones that you are about to see are extremely rare

213
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:01,280
i call myself a psychic photographer because i feel the images captured on film are of a psychic

214
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:08,000
nature i don't necessarily feel that i'm psychic because i don't see the things that i photograph

215
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,920
they just appear on my film donna quinn modestly admits that she doesn't know why she seems to have

216
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:20,720
a knack for snapping anomalous photos she just does i started noticing spirit energy in my photos

217
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:26,400
around three years ago with the birth of my son upon developing i'd find all kinds of images

218
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:32,720
surrounding the baby these images were among donna's first she logically concluded that it was her

219
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,480
camera not her but later with different cameras different film the fogs and shadows just kept

220
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,120
appearing she was capturing accidentally what others spend a lifetime trying to find

221
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:52,720
but are they ghosts as long as there have been cameras there has been spirit photography

222
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,840
are the images proof of an afterlife or only that hoaxes can be very convincing

223
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,280
paranormal investigators have spent the last 20 years looking for an answer

224
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:09,040
and only a few photos emerge as truly unexplained like this one taken during kerry gainer's

225
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:14,800
landmark investigation of the entity case gainer believes this is not a trick but the emanation

226
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:21,120
of a malicious spirit what we see here are reverse arcs of light one arc goes right here another arc

227
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:28,160
goes right here now the reason this picture is so important to us is that the arc on the wall

228
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,680
if it were really on the wall would be bent because those two walls there are perpendicular

229
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:39,040
it's not bent which means the arc is floating in space the significance for that of that for us

230
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,240
as researchers is of course that means it's dimensional and very very difficult to fake this

231
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:50,080
was not somebody with a flashlight shining it on a wall that light is an empty space it was the

232
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,440
full parallax of the image that baffled popular photography and it was the only alleged ghost

233
00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:01,520
photograph ever published in the magazine photo analysts examining anomalies like this can't prove

234
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,400
an image comes from another dimension but they can rule out every other possibility

235
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:15,440
i look to see if the image or the phenomena in the image itself seems to fit rand molnar is the

236
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,480
dean of the graduate department at the brooks institute of photography he has analyzed thousands

237
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,200
of photographs that are thought to capture supernatural events does it have some sort of

238
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:31,440
an explanation that can be defined as being a lens flare or some other aspect as part of the

239
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:38,160
normal photographic process does it have a texture a shape a shadow depth so i look at all of the

240
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,400
attributes this particular phenomena has in trying to see where it fits into the general picture

241
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,920
and of all the photos submitted molnar believes that only a handful can not be explained by natural

242
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:57,360
phenomena there could be some phenomena that a human observer couldn't see that could be recorded

243
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:03,920
on the film but i think these are probably a few and far between but even debunkers like molnar

244
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:09,840
are willing to leave the door open for a paranormal explanation photographic film is radiation

245
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:16,000
sensitive and by that i mean it's light sensitive ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray etc so it's certainly

246
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,120
possible the film could capture an image that cannot be seen by the human eye in terms of where

247
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:26,800
that image came from i don't know sightings has found that the anomalies often show up where

248
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:32,960
other bizarre events have already occurred in black forest colorado we brought you this family's

249
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:39,200
haunting story and the strange smoky images that followed i took a picture right over against my wall

250
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:45,360
and we got it back it uh had some fog in it with a image it looked like of a face i'm getting the same

251
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,520
image in the fog outside the house in front of the house in bag no matter where i take it

252
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,840
in a graveyard in connecticut sightings watched as dozens of photographers tried to document the

253
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:02,160
legendary lady in white we don't know who the white lady is but she has been photographed and her

254
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:10,320
energy has been photographed in human spirits seem to not allow her to get the help that she needs

255
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:17,120
in order to pass on correctly so for that reason she remains earthbound psychic and

256
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:22,880
eyewitness accounts of ghostly activity elevate the authenticity of these photos but then there is

257
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:31,120
dana the exception to the rule i don't feel privileged or special in any way i'm i'm still

258
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:39,200
wondering myself why why these things show up on my film um them i just can't catching it randomly

259
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,800
are they attracted to me donna's uncanny nag for spirit photography has become front page news

260
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:52,080
in connecticut and locals who fear their houses are haunted are asking donna quinn for help

261
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,280
michelle donahue is just one of many frightened homeowners who believe that donna can verify

262
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:06,320
their visions the lights would go on and off they'd flicker sometimes dim and then go right back on

263
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:12,720
the phone would work and then sometimes it wouldn't work and the phone company checked and they said

264
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,560
that there was nothing outside the house that the problem was from inside the house donna began

265
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,040
by photographing the home's exterior to see if she could document the source of the haunting

266
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,360
we were outside and we she was just taking photographs of the outside of the house so as

267
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:32,560
we were standing there looking into the dining room i thought i saw something i said oh my god i think

268
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:39,120
i swear i just saw a person in the house and she saw something at the same time she commented

269
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:46,080
did you see that so we went in the house and her fiancee was sound asleep no one no one was around

270
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,640
and i knew right then and there that something was going on i'm not exactly sure what she saw at the

271
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,240
same time that i saw but i definitely saw something in the corner of the room so it prompted me to take

272
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:03,840
photos and then when i got them back sure enough there was phenomena in the photos donna is continuing

273
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:10,640
to take photographs of the house and other haunted places nearby she continues despite charges that

274
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:17,200
at best she is just a bad picture taker and at worst the donna is perpetrating a hoax there's

275
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,200
going to be always skeptical people and i really don't care if they believe me or not basically

276
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:32,240
i'm just a normal everyday person who has an ability to capture spirit energy on film

277
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,680
donna quinn offers three important tips if you're going to try to photograph spirits of your own

278
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,040
first make sure you use different kinds of cameras this makes it a little bit easier to

279
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:49,360
authenticate the photos next don't snap randomly take pictures only when you feel the time is right

280
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:55,600
and finally quinn says be patient next the mysterious force that gives psychics their

281
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:01,280
remarkable powers i discovered that if i got in the person's head i could get the sense of what

282
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:11,280
they were saying over the years sightings has consulted with a handful of psychic investigators

283
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:17,440
who've demonstrated time and again their ability to see and sense things most people cannot psychics

284
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,000
like dorthy allison and peter james usually appear in a haunted house so working on an

285
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,200
unsolved murder case but this time we turn the spotlight on the psychics themselves to find

286
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,280
out why and how they first knew they had paranormal powers

287
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,640
american culture american society you know contemporaneous it's not unique in having

288
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:49,440
individuals that people go to to divine to tell the future to give advice on spiritual matters

289
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:55,120
all people all cultures believe in psychic phenomena but in a modern world where science is

290
00:30:55,120 --> 00:31:02,320
judge jury and executioner can psychic ability ever be proven beyond a reasonable doubt for those

291
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:10,000
who claim it psychic ability can be a blessing or a curse a surreal movie that plays without warning

292
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:17,200
or a disturbing montage of images it can come in a dream it can bring on unexpected and

293
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:23,600
overwhelming emotion it is an ability that can be developed or can literally strike for the bolt of

294
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:29,920
lightning when i was about five years old i discovered that i had so-called childhood

295
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:36,080
imaginary playmates for renowned psychic peter james his realization of a psychic gift came early

296
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:44,160
i was about eight years old when i realized that these were in fact ghosts and spirits and not

297
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:50,480
real children they were real to me because they were a real part of my life peter says his ability

298
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:57,200
to see spirits is a seventh sense and one that he was born with while other psychics perceive with

299
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,640
the mind's eye peter claims he can actually see and communicate with another dimension look look

300
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:10,880
look look look look look hello see oh he's angry don't be angry with me don't play games with me

301
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,960
i'm not afraid of you it's just like communicating with people that that walk the face of the earth

302
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:23,920
in a physical body uh some people have more to say than others and some are friendly some are not so

303
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,600
friendly after hundreds of encounters peter claims that he has gained unique insight into the spirit

304
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:36,960
world our night time is their daytime we live in a parallel world of coexistence with ghosts and

305
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:44,400
spirits they're everywhere sally is that your name sally nowhere has they spent more evident

306
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,920
than during a series of sightings investigations into the heartland ghost a spirit peter identifies

307
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:57,680
as sally there is an entity in this room right now no doubt in my mind on this night peter claimed

308
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,960
to feel then see then be attacked by the entity something is burning my face like right now

309
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:10,400
the attack came in the wake of another fiercer attack on this man painful bleeding scratches

310
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:16,800
were emerging without warning and peter felt the perpetrator was among them there's a little girl

311
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:24,320
that's standing right there sally is that your name sally hi will she will hello easy i think the

312
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:32,240
heartland ghost certainly was the one of the most extraordinary because sally is one of the most

313
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:38,320
aware or cognizant ghosts that i've ever encountered but ghost investigations are not the only milieu

314
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:44,240
of the professional psychic noreen renear and nancy meyer are both psychic detectives many law

315
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:51,440
enforcement agencies swear by their ability to relive and reveal brutal secrets he shot me i know

316
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:58,640
i'm on the floor my back seems to be hurting me a great deal and i die for noreen a former

317
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,320
advertising executive her psychic ability didn't reveal itself until her late 30s it came as a

318
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:12,000
surprise after a psychic client sensed noreen's gift it was like stepping on the moon once i entered

319
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:18,240
into this i could touch a ring or watch and i could see pictures in my head when things started

320
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:23,760
happening to me i thought that perhaps i was insane uh since i didn't believe in psychic

321
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:29,760
phenomena there was no other explanation to why these things were happening noreen wanted to use

322
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:35,600
her psychic ability to help others and was drawn to the challenges of police work she used a technique

323
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:42,640
called psychometry touching items from the crime scene and then speaking as the victim i can feel

324
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:49,760
the way they felt my vocal cords don't change very much but my posture sometimes my facial

325
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,960
features will change slightly i see the way they see because i'm not me anymore them i said sometimes

326
00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:03,040
i hurt very much when i'm being killed nancy meyer began to sense her psychic ability very early on

327
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,600
as a girl she lived abroad with her family and discovered that she could use telepathy to overcome

328
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:13,520
language barriers i discovered that if i got in the person's head i could get the sense of what

329
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:20,320
they were saying so i used my ability quite a bit to follow conversations and languages that i didn't

330
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:26,240
know nancy's telepathy developed rapidly and for more than 20 years now she's been consultant for

331
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:33,680
the delaware state police in that time she's provided crucial clues in over 200 crimes i started

332
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:39,040
doing a lot of police work and that was the last thing in the world that i wanted to get involved

333
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:46,880
with i just it's very it's very overwhelming it's kind of hard for people to understand that when a

334
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:54,640
person who is as sensitive as i am does their reading it looks easy you know because i just start

335
00:35:54,640 --> 00:36:01,920
rolling but i have to use a very strong system of blocking within me in order to keep the victim's

336
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:07,920
pain i have to keep a separate vision i have to stand right beside her i have to be able to

337
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:14,720
pick up and follow where she is but i must not lose me while i'm doing it nancy believes that

338
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:21,360
everyone shares a psychic link but only a few people realize it yet she taps into the psychic

339
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:27,120
link to conjure up scenes of the crime sometimes this means accessing the psychic imprint found

340
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:33,520
only in the mind of the killer i have trouble being in the middle of a murder victims thought

341
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:40,960
patterns i have to try to shift into the mind of the killer nancy says that she perceives her psychic

342
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:47,520
impressions as if someone had filmed the crime it's three dimensional it's in color it's like

343
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:56,240
watching tv or a movie only you are standing in the scene the color is often stronger and more

344
00:36:56,240 --> 00:37:02,560
vivid than real life when i'm doing the murder scene that vividness is a real problem because it is

345
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,040
almost larger than life it's like looking at a big screen movie that i'm in the middle of

346
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:14,640
and that's sometimes frightening ucla folklorist patrick polk knows that psychic ability cannot

347
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:21,920
be proven scientifically but he still sees a vital need for the phenomenon i think psychics provide

348
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:27,440
a very basic and very important service in that they help address issues that people can't find

349
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:35,360
solutions to on their own nancy believes this role only scratches the surface and the psychic gift

350
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:42,240
could save the planet if the world blew up tomorrow the scientists wouldn't be any use to us the

351
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:47,360
psychics would think because they could teach you how to plant even if they had never planted before

352
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:53,760
they could find water the dousers would find what we needed this is what's going to

353
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,640
probably be needed again sometime in history

354
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,000
we asked all of the psychic investigators in this story if they would give any advice to

355
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:08,720
viewers who wanted to cultivate their own untapped psychic powers in every single case their advice

356
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:15,040
was the same to borrow an old phrase how do you get to the psychic hall of fame practice practice

357
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:21,040
next an incredible update on the man who claims he can predict earthquakes when pelle held

358
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:28,960
communication with the stars earthquakes would take place

359
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,200
not too long ago we brought you a report on mike lee head of the religion department at

360
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,840
damien memorial high school in hawaii lee had developed a remarkably accurate system for predicting

361
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:47,200
earth changes and the response since that broadcast has been overwhelming thousands of

362
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:53,360
viewers wrote to ask what mike lee is predicting for the future so we went back to hanlulu to find out

363
00:38:54,960 --> 00:39:02,480
it seems to come in regular intervals right after a lunar eclipse or a full moon that comes very

364
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,760
close to the earth's shadow and i was looking on the board where he written on the earthquakes

365
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:12,000
i told my god that there's an earthquake supposed to come that day and then she didn't

366
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,000
believe me she thought i was only joking later on when someone earthquake hit and then she's like

367
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:22,880
amaze or shock that it happened she's like wow as first reported in a recent episode of sightings

368
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:28,160
history teacher and religion department head mike lee has developed a new earthquake prediction

369
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,000
method based on the sacred teachings of his ancestors one day he came up and he says that

370
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,240
he's finally got it and you written down dates on the board different places times magnitudes of

371
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:44,720
earthquakes lee's method is based on simple physical laws that cause in effect apply to

372
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:51,040
earthquakes too a theory that colleague bill wicking supports wholeheartedly the planets and

373
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,120
the moon pull on water and that's what we call tides and it's reasonable to assume that the

374
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,040
the continents being massive could be pulled away from the plates and slide around a little bit

375
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:05,920
that's what mike's theory follows according to lee the earthquake effect is caused by the ever

376
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:11,040
changing alignment of celestial bodies and his alarming accuracy rates support his claim

377
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:17,680
but lee says this is not his unique prediction method it is based on sacred hawaiian writing

378
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:26,400
about haina akiyahi the moon in flames was said by the priest that when pilly held communications

379
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:33,040
with the stars earthquakes would take place and pelle is the volcano goddess

380
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:41,840
and i pondered the question how does the moon get into the flames and the only way that that is

381
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:49,280
possible is when there is a lunar eclipse the moon turns an orange brown as the earth's shadow

382
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:58,480
falls on the moon and the hawaiians who observed this in the sky also noticed several days after

383
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:07,440
earthquakes and tidal waves would come and then taking that data i started to predict earthquakes

384
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:13,040
that they were in a rhythmic pattern he had some hawaiian legends and astronomical maps that he

385
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:18,640
wanted to tie in with a computer simulator that i had for astronomy we were using this in the physics

386
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:26,240
classes so i set mike up with a program called voyager which he then used to map all the hawaiian

387
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:32,800
star legends to known astronomical bodies by integrating the sacred writings of his homeland

388
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:39,440
with modern geology and physics lee has gotten astonishing results 40 accuracy and predictions

389
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:46,880
based on a lunar eclipse 90 for a solar eclipse lee predicted an earthquake in peru and he was right

390
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:55,680
the accuracy of his predictions has created a tidal wave of email for damien memorial high school

391
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:03,120
lee was just coming up for air when sightings revisited the school after the last segment of

392
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:10,720
sightings we were just overwhelmed with about 17 000 hits on our website page after lee predicted a

393
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:16,080
major quake in the midwest thousands of hits came in from people who live within the new madrid

394
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:22,800
fault zone as well as south carolina peru and japan several people that called in or wanted to find

395
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,440
out sent us email wondering if they should travel to a certain area thinking there might be an earthquake

396
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:33,440
in that area the biggest revelation for lee has been that earthquake anxiety is an overwhelming

397
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:39,920
and global phenomenon so mike lee is now modifying astronomy software so he can teach his prediction

398
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:47,040
method to the public the goal is to inform and reassure us and perhaps to save millions of lives

399
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:52,480
the email that i've been getting with people who are interested in the 1997 predictions

400
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,760
have been telling me thank you very much for your predictions and we'll keep you posted on what's

401
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:03,600
happening so they're not panicking out they're taking it very rationally and heads up we're still

402
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,800
getting a lot of traffic from places like iceland and alaska and australia and any place that's about

403
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,040
to get an earthquake is according to lee's predictions we generally get a lot of traffic from

404
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:18,080
there it's really interesting that the ancient hawaiian priests knew how to predict earthquakes

405
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:24,240
hundreds of years ago and now in our technological age we're just beginning to scratch the surface

406
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:30,960
of what they already know if you'd like to know where mike lee believes the next big

407

earthquake will hit in your area you can find up-to-date predictions through the internet
