1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
The following program deals with controversial subjects.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,000
The theories expressed are not the only possible interpretation.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
The viewer is invited to make a judgment based on all available information.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Tonight, from America's Heartland,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
something fell from the sky here 25 years ago that many still claim was an alien spacecraft,

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
snatched up by our military.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Every question I ever had about UFOs was under that canvas.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Then, this peaceful countryside is the hideout for a paranormal entity so evil,

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
it's haunted this family for a decade.

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

11
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
One of the most puzzling and controversial UFO sightings in U.S. history

12
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
occurred nearly 27 years ago in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
To this day, many people who have studied this sighting believe there is a continuing government cover-up

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
of what really happened in 1965.

15
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
As I discovered on my trip to Kecksburg, some believe the UFO was a meteor,

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
others that it was an alien spacecraft,

17
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
and some others that it was all an elaborate hoax.

18
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Kecksburg used to be just like a lot of other small villages in western Pennsylvania.

19
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,000
But in 1965, Kecksburg lost its anonymity when it became one of the world's most famous UFO landing sites.

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
I happened to look up in the sky and I seen this red farball.

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
It sure wasn't a meteor, because I've seen them fall before.

22
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
I've never seen any of them with blue lights on.

23
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And it looked like it made a turn and it came back again.

24
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And when it came back, it seemed like it went down.

25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
It was December 9th, 1965, a night that many townspeople will never forget.

26
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I got my flashlight and I started down through the woods up to where it was at.

27
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
There was no wings, there was no tail section, there was no motors, there was no windows, there was no doors.

28
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
There was big enough for a grown person to stand up in.

29
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
It looked like Egyptian writing, like backwards writing on it.

30
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Stars and circles and dashes and lines and things like that.

31
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
It looked like an acorn.

32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
It was really weird.

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Some claim the UFO wasn't the only thing to arrive that night.

34
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
It wasn't too much longer down through the woods come two gentlemen.

35
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
The one gentleman, very ramrod straight, very authoritative voice, crew cut hair.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I mean, he just reeked of military.

37
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
He looked at the object and he looked at us.

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
He says, alright, this is not a restricted area.

39
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
The aliens were all ordered out of here.

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Some military people come to the house and said they'd like to use the phone.

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
They sort of took the house over.

42
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We started talking among ourselves what's going on.

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
About that time up through on the road comes a big flatbed truck in.

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
The flatbed went down and empty and they come back out with something on the back of it covered up about the size of a Volkswagen.

45
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
That truck was hell bent for leather.

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And if you'd have walked out on that road, you'd have still been there.

47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Or they'd have scraped you up with a putty knife.

48
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
They weren't stopping for anything or anybody.

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And that began the real mystery of this whole thing.

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
27 years later, what happened down there in that woods surrounded by fields,

51
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
if anything happened down there at all, is still a matter of bitter controversy.

52
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
You've got this town split into two groups.

53
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
You've got the believers and the non-believers.

54
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
There's been some friendship lost and it's foolish as far as I'm concerned.

55
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I have a brother-in-law that he hasn't spoke to me for two years.

56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
He said that I lied about everything that I never lied about a thing.

57
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You've got neighbors and neighbors that has known each other all their life.

58
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Now they don't want to talk cause one believes it and one don't believe it.

59
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Just as the town is divided, so too are experts who have researched what really happened in Kecksburg.

60
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Planetary expert Robert Young believes that some citizens may have perpetrated a hoax.

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
He claims the UFO was merely a meteor.

62
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Known to have passed over Ontario in several northern states that evening.

63
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Virtually all of the accounts can be explained by people having looked toward and seeing the Ontario meteor.

64
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
How about the accounts though of the military that turned out in large numbers,

65
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
kept people away from going down there, truck that went down into the area and came out.

66
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
You've got eyewitnesses that say, this happened.

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I understand. I have written, signed eyewitness accounts from 61 local people

68
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
who say that that did not, that there was nothing crashed here, was recovered, there was no military occupant.

69
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
A lot of people probably think you're the government.

70
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Well, sure, yeah, but I'm not.

71
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I don't know how some people can say that nothing ever happened when there were so many people that saw things that night.

72
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Something had to happen.

73
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I know what I saw and I'm not going to deny it.

74
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
They can tell me I'm lying, but I know that I've seen the military in my house that night.

75
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Freedom of Information Act states there was 212 military personnel here that night.

76
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Sightings attempted to speak with the Kexburg residents who deny anything extraterrestrial ever happened here,

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
but they all refused our invitation to talk.

78
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Even the landowner whose property was the alleged crash site remained silent.

79
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I think the government bought them off or threatened them with something that got them scared half to wits.

80
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Ironically, their refusal to talk has only deepened the controversy.

81
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
UFO researcher Stan Gorton heard about the Kexburg incident on the radio.

82
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
The night it allegedly happened in 1965. He's been investigating the sighting ever since.

83
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
So much of what we know about the case now we've learned since about 1987

84
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
with the fact that now we have at least four different eyewitnesses who apparently saw the object on the ground at Kexburg.

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
The fact that there are dozens of people independent of each other who don't even know each other yet

86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
who have given us detailed information about what they experienced and saw that night

87
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
and they're giving us confirming information that has not been published yet.

88
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
The skeptics, and these include the people who own the land

89
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000
and some very substantial citizens of Kexburg think that this whole thing is loony.

90
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Why do they feel so strongly the other way?

91
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
It could be that some of these people were in the wrong place at that time.

92
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
They were in a position where they didn't see what was going on.

93
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
And if you see the geography of the area and where the majority of people were that night,

94
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
they could not have seen the military activity that was happening on the land on the other side of the area down there.

95
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Do you have any hard evidence at all that what went down in the woods near Kexburg

96
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
was something other than a meteor or was anything at all?

97
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Unfortunately not.

98
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
As in so many of these cases, you have to go by the eyewitness accounts.

99
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
And in this case, the eyewitness accounts are very, very strong.

100
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
And again, unfortunately, we don't have that type of information.

101
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
If this was the case, whether it be a space probe or in other UFO cases,

102
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
sure, if we had the physical hardware, the mystery would be over.

103
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
What do you think it is?

104
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
What do I think it is? At this point, and again, this is not conclusive,

105
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,000
at this point, the weight of evidence would point in the direction that this may have been a Soviet space probe.

106
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,000
If the object were proven to be a Soviet space probe, then many questions would be answered.

107
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
If a Soviet device landed in Kexburg, the government would have been required by international treaty

108
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
to recover and return immediately any space debris to the country of origin.

109
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
But retired Army Sergeant Clifford Stone doesn't believe the Soviet probe theory.

110
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:55,000
If this was of Soviet origin in 1965, the State Department would have released documentation to me under their Moondust files.

111
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
To date, none of that information has been forth.

112
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Clifford Stone collects government documents about space debris recovery operations,

113
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
like Project Moondust and Project Bluefly.

114
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:14,000
He began his investigations in 1965 when, as an Army Sergeant, he witnessed a top-secret delivery to Lockborn Air Force Base

115
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
about 200 miles from Kexburg.

116
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000
I noticed that on the back of the vehicle, it had something that was covered by a tarp.

117
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
It was about 10 to 12 foot at the base, 12 foot tall.

118
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
It looked like a chocolate drop.

119
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:38,000
When my friend told me that every question I ever had about UFOs was under that canvas, I was mystified.

120
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Since that time, Stone has repeatedly attempted to obtain information from the government regarding that object.

121
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Each time, the government's response has been the same.

122
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
They have taken the stance by direction of the President of the United States.

123
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
We may neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of any information that all involved the recovery of unknowns.

124
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Kexburg remains a town divided.

125
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The only thing on which believers and non-believers can agree is that all they want to know once and for all is what really happened on December 9th, 1965.

126
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
What would you like to see happen next?

127
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
It's time after 27 years that the public has to write to know the true facts, regardless of what the object was, and what really occurred.

128
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Something came down from numerous eyewitness accounts to a lot of military activity into the small village.

129
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Then an object was located, that it was recovered, it was transported away for study.

130
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
What was the object and why after 27 years having there revealed what really was found?

131
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Joining us now from Houston is space flight engineer and author James Oberg, who has studied the reported sighting in Kexburg,

132
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
and has his own theory about what landed there in 1965.

133
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Mr. Oberg, first of all, do you believe that something crashed in Kexburg in 1965 and was it a UFO?

134
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
If it's anything, it might be something a lot more earth-like.

135
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
It might be a spacecraft from Russia and not from Mars.

136
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,000
It turns out we do know that a Russian probe fell back to earth that day, and it was a special kind of probe.

137
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
It was one of their probes to the planet Venus.

138
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
It failed, was trapped in Earth orbit, and eventually fell out of orbit.

139
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000
What might have been on that Russian space probe that the U.S. would have been so interested in?

140
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Oh, the most important thing about the probe would be the heat shield.

141
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
How thick it was, what material was made out of, how heavy it was.

142
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Once we knew that, we could then analyze how big their warheads would be in their ICBMs.

143
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
The same kind of material was used there.

144
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Also, their most advanced electronics would be in that probe.

145
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Their most heat-resistant kinds of materials.

146
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
The very best of their entire military industrial complex technology.

147
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000
It would have been a treasure trove in terms of the Russian space and missile technology.

148
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Do you think we will ever know with certainty what really happened in Kexburg?

149
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Well, I guess the dream is that someone will go forward with an official government report.

150
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
It might exist, it might not.

151
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
20, 30, 40 years ago, people's memories, as you know, tend to keep changing and growing as the stories get told and retold.

152
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:14,000
I think there's lots of stories in UFO folklore that will never really know what happened behind them.

153
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
That's the fascination.

154
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
James Oberg, thank you very much for joining us.

155
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Good night.

156
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
And we'll be back with more sightings in just a moment.

157
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Coming up next, a sinister entity has haunted this family for years.

158
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
I opened my eyes and it was a sling that was standing over me.

159
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Our investigation, next.

160
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Since 1978, Robert and Reba Malone and their four children have lived with frightening and confusing events

161
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
that make them believe the family is haunted by demonic entities.

162
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
They claim the hauntings began 14 years ago, the day their daughter Nikki was born.

163
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Is there a connection?

164
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
The Malones believe there is, but others in their small Georgia community aren't convinced.

165
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Carrollton, Georgia is home to at least one family who believes they're haunted

166
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
and their strange plight has become the subject of radio talk shows in the area.

167
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
So let's go to the phone lines and welcome to afternoon talk.

168
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Well, I'm not one of your people that goes to talk about a ghost.

169
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
You're not?

170
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Nope.

171
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Mars, what do you think about that whole situation?

172
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
A ghost?

173
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Yes.

174
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
I don't more believe it than if I had a hole in my head.

175
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000
On the rural farms just outside of town, in Carrollton's quiet neighborhoods

176
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000
and on Main Street at the Pitty Pat Cafe, discussion about ghosts

177
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
and the unfortunate Malone family is unavoidable.

178
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
I've never met any yet, but I believe in it.

179
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
I don't believe in ghosts.

180
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I haven't ever seen one and I don't believe nothing I don't see.

181
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000
I think that the majority of the people believe in ghosts, but they won't admit it.

182
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Whether or not the townspeople here believe in ghosts,

183
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
they do admit that the Malone family is running scared.

184
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
The children race home before dark, where they stand guard against what they believe are demons.

185
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Since the Malones moved to this Carrollton home two years ago, things happened improved.

186
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000
They fear any home they live in will become a battleground for something bizarre, something evil.

187
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
I definitely think it's the devil.

188
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
I feel like that I can't protect my children from it.

189
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
It's after this, kill one of us in the family, all of us.

190
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000
I've wondered a lot of times if this evil spirit was working through our sick child, our sick doubter.

191
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Sometimes people turn to paranormal explanations because there is an explanation that they don't want to face.

192
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
They claim that terror started the day their youngest daughter was born, but that it's unrelated to her medical condition.

193
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:50,000
The family believes her brain damage, asthma and kidney transplant have nothing to do with the evil force that plagues them daily.

194
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
It's attacked my brother at one time, it's had him up against the wall of Chocohill.

195
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
He was swinging in midair, nothing was there, there was no arms, nothing.

196
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Where is it at? You can't see it.

197
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:10,000
I opened my eyes and it was a thing that was standing over me. It was real big and it was black. I couldn't move.

198
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:16,000
I woke up and I saw something walking through the hall, but I couldn't have no head over there.

199
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:22,000
All these people can't be seen and hear the same thing, so therefore it's not imagination, it can't be.

200
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Part of the motive of the family is to hang together, and since their motive is to hang together, they would not necessarily say,

201
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:40,000
oh, don't believe that, that's not likely because that in a certain sense might threaten the togetherness, the sense of togetherness of the family.

202
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Anybody that would experience it wouldn't know that it's real.

203
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
The Malone's daughter-in-law has recorded each paranormal encounter in her diary.

204
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Her entries tell the story of the family in crisis, enjoying short lived periods of serenity, followed by days, weeks, even months of terror.

205
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:08,000
The family in Georgia is being plagued by inhuman evil spirits that are affecting their lives on every possible level.

206
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:16,000
They have fled from house to house to try to escape this evil, but you cannot escape it.

207
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
It must be dealt with, it must be documented, and it must be gotten rid of through spiritual means.

208
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:32,000
In 1990, the Malone's contacted Ed and Lorraine Warren, world renowned for their work with victims of what they feel is demon possession.

209
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
First, they studied the family's claims and their psychiatric history.

210
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Only then did the Warrens agree to conduct a face-to-face investigation.

211
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
A figure, a dark black figure, about four feet.

212
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
I saw balls of light continuously, probably the size of a tennis ball.

213
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
I had heard wrappings there, wrappings right underneath my feet.

214
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,000
This audio cassette is the only record of the night the Warrens were working with the Malones,

215
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000
and claim a jar of pennies levitated and smashed into a researcher, and then a family member.

216
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,000
The Marlows and the Saints command you, reveal your identity.

217
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Give us a sign if you want the Malones out of this house.

218
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,000
The pennies picked themselves up, jar and all, had to move out of the room, come through the door.

219
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:32,000
It first clipped Joe hard on the shoulder, and then went and got the sun right in the face.

220
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,000
And I was just terrified, and I ran out of the house. I was crying, my nose was bleeding.

221
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:47,000
It was so heavy and so humid that night, and yet as soon as you started to provoke in that house,

222
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:55,000
we were getting that psychic cold, it was coming like in waves, like as if there was a fan blowing from a freezer.

223
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,000
I could feel it on my ankles first, it was true psychic cold.

224
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000
The women were shouting in and it was everybody's running around confused.

225
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Eventually the phenomena ebbed, and things calmed down, but everybody slept in the living room that night.

226
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000
No, I'm not crazy. No, I'm not on drugs. No, I don't drink, period.

227
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000
It's not a fraud, it's not a hoax, it's not a psychologically disturbed family.

228
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000
You want to call it devil's demons, I don't care, but there are things surrounding this family that are so terrifying,

229
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:36,000
that the average person looking at us right now could not in any way accept, unless they were there and living it.

230
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:43,000
After the Warrens first visit, family life seemed to return to normal, but those were rare moments of peace.

231
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Soon the hauntings returned and then got worse. Desperate for relief from their nightmare, the Malones turned again to the Warrens,

232
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,000
and this time the Warrens asked sightings to document their work with the Malone family.

233
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
What else happened that was unnatural?

234
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Lights were starting to appear in the living room, and my wife she screamed and she got something bitter on the neck.

235
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Did you describe that bite to us?

236
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I just felt it bite down, you know, and I slapped my hand over.

237
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
But there was nothing there?

238
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
No.

239
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Was it an insect?

240
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
When I brought it down, then I had slime all over my hand.

241
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Can I ask you something? How old was Nikki when she was baptized?

242
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
She's never been baptized.

243
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
She's been baptized now though. Not yet? Not being baptized?

244
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Her aura is wide open. When a person becomes baptized, that closes up all the chinks in that supernatural glow that we call an aura,

245
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
and evil can't penetrate it.

246
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
The Warrens believed that baptizing the Malone's 14-year-old daughter was essential.

247
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
As appreled to that baptism, a priest was called in to bless the family.

248
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Of this house and its occupants and possessions, that you may bless and sanctify them.

249
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:10,000
If you can't feel the exertion of the powers of evil, you'd be insensitive, because these are miracles in reverse.

250
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:20,000
It's not the most responsible thing to come to a family, perform some kind of quick religious ritual,

251
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
and then tell them that everything is going to be okay.

252
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
I don't think that human life is that simple.

253
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Amen.

254
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Amen.

255
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Hallelujah.

256
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Hallelujah.

257
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Hallelujah.

258
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Hallelujah.

259
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Hallelujah.

260
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
And there's the sign of Jesus, Holy Cross, on your forehead, love.

261
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Amen.

262
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:50,000
This time, the Malones are once again filled with hope for the future, free from the hauntings of their past.

263
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
But the lasting effectiveness of Father Regan's blessing and the baptism is still unknown.

264
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:02,000
The Malones hope that the evil whatever it was is past and their nightmare is finally over.

265
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
The Malones might have been helped by other types of therapy, counseling or prayer,

266
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000
but they chose the method that they felt would be best for their family.

267
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:18,000
You or I might not choose the same course, but how to cope with serious family problems is a very personal and individual decision.

268
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Coming up, when Christopher Columbus asked to be buried in Santo Domingo, no one minded.

269
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
But today, many claim his ghost has cursed this town with disasters for 500 years.

270
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,000
1992 marks the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's voyage to the New World

271
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
and his discovery of what is now the Dominican Republic.

272
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Columbus so loved the Caribbean paradise that he asked to be buried there.

273
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
When he died, the native people obliged.

274
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
But now, many present-day Dominicans regret their ancestors' decision.

275
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
They strongly believe Christopher Columbus's remains are cursed.

276
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000
On August 4th, 1946, the worst earthquake in 100 years hit the Dominican Republic.

277
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
The very day residents were celebrating the island's discovery by Christopher Columbus.

278
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Every time in Santo Domingo his name is mentioned, evidently something bad seems to happen.

279
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Dominicans call him simply the Great Admiral, fearing that the mention of his name in the past has caused plane crashes, landslides, and a plague of ants.

280
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
He was spending the bad luck of all of his life, really.

281
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
He didn't know where he was going when he left and he didn't know where he had been when he got there.

282
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
He did it all and borrowed money and he died in poverty.

283
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Columbus's remains will soon be moved to a new memorial and residents worry that this may trigger a new series of disasters.

284
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
If you've had an encounter with a paranormal, like the people in Santo Domingo,

285
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,000
or if you've photographed or videotaped what you believe as a UFO, our Sightings investigative team wants to know.

286
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
To report your sighting, call the sightings hotline at 1-900-740-SIGHT.

287
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Each call 75 cents a minute, average call last two minutes and you must be 18 years or older.

288
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
On the next sightings, some claim that extraterrestrials are living among us.

289
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
How are they mutating to human form and what are their sinister motives?

290
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And then, the U.S. military's own top secret UFO. On the next sightings.

291
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Join us next time for new investigations into the unexplained. For Sightings, I'm Tim White. Good night.

292
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Tomorrow, after a full hour of cops, see actual footage as a race car bursts into flames

293
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,000
and rescuers must brave the inferno to save the driver on an all-new Code 3.

294
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Now, stay tuned for likely suspects.
