1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The following program deals with controversial subjects.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
The theories expressed are not the only possible interpretation.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
The viewer is invited to make a judgment based on all available information.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Tonight on Scythons, thousands of Americans may have been abducted and sexually abused by extraterrestrials.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I'm one of those few men who knows what a woman feels like when she's raped.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
We reveal their frightening motives.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Then we uncover the U.S. military's own top secret UFOs hidden in the Nevada desert.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
We have things out there that are literally out of this world.

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Hello, I'm Tim White. Welcome to Scythons.

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
The abduction phenomenon has become a disturbing part of many UFO sightings.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
At first, only a few people claimed to have been forcibly taken away by extraterrestrials.

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
But now, so many people have come forward with similar stories

13
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
that alien abduction can no longer be written off as the fantasies of a very few.

14
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I looked up in my rearview mirror and lights were coming down out of the sky.

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I walked out to the edge of the water and I noticed this huge, shining thing.

16
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
I was so terrified looking into these big black eyes and these little creatures.

17
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
I was thinking I could just raise my fist and crush his head.

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And exactly at that moment, I became paralyzed.

19
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
It's the kind of fear that I've only experienced one other time

20
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
and that's when I was robbed and I had a gut in my head and that's the kind of fear it is.

21
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I thought that I was dying. I'm dying now. This is what it's like when you die.

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The visions often come during sleep.

23
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Nightmares about being abducted, probed and prodded by aliens who have sinister motives.

24
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Hundreds of people have come forward to talk about their disturbing experiences

25
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
and admit that they think their nightmares are real.

26
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Experts believe that there are thousands, perhaps even millions more just like them,

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
who are too afraid to talk.

28
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
In secret life, author David Jacobs chronicles the abduction phenomenon.

29
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
We have hundreds and thousands of people who are coming forward

30
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
and saying that the abduction phenomenon has happened to them, that they've experienced it

31
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
and basically they say the same thing as everybody else has said

32
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
and until recently, there was no possibility that they could have picked up these stories in the media.

33
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Since she was a baby, commercial photographer Kim Carlsberg has been plagued by memories of abduction.

34
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
At 4.30 in the morning, I saw this image of these four beings

35
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
just move through this wall.

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
They just, like it wasn't there.

37
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
And they came over to me, two at my feet, two at my head

38
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and they started to lift me up to the ceiling.

39
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Most abductions take place where a person is taken out of the normal environment,

40
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
they're taken against their will.

41
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
They have physical, mental, reproductive procedures performed on them and then they're released.

42
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Bud Hopkins has been researching alien abduction reports for 26 years

43
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
and is a firm believer.

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I'm the first to admit that all this sounds outrageous.

45
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
It all sounds just crazy, yet the evidence is there behind it.

46
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
But skeptic Philip Klass believes mass media is to blame for the rise in abduction reports.

47
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Dozens of talk shows, dozens of other TV shows

48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
have promoted this idea that aliens are here and abducting human beings

49
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
and so it becomes the popular myth.

50
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
These particular problems could adequately be explained by the condition in our co-lebsi.

51
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
This is a disorder characterized by hypnagogic hallucinations

52
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
and hallucinations that occur at sleep onset,

53
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
which can be very vivid and include the feeling of other people being present in the room

54
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
or a sensation of levitation.

55
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
These hallucinations will actually describe saying that they are looking down onto their body.

56
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I have two people that I've never met describing this exact same examination

57
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
of their head being opened up, something being done to their brain,

58
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
and being put back together again.

59
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
They opened my back. I knew my back was open because I could feel

60
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
it was almost as though a slit had been drawn down my back and across to the side

61
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
and they had opened a flap of flesh and tissue.

62
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Whether the reports come from adults or children, men or women,

63
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
most of them follow similar patterns.

64
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
There's a bright light that shines in the room. The abductee sees it.

65
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
They hear a noise outside.

66
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
They're not interested in your maid. They're interested in you.

67
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
So what they do is they render the person that you're with unconscious.

68
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
She goes up a beam of light with the alien into a hovering craft.

69
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
If anyone goes into the room at that point, there's no one in the room.

70
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
You're in bed. In other words, the person is literally missing.

71
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
You find yourself on a table and these creatures around you with instruments

72
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
and you have no idea what they're doing and they don't tell you.

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
My skin was sliced like with a surgical instrument.

74
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
When a person is abducted, it's a physical examination.

75
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000
The focus of the entire enterprise seems to me to be unmistakably on reproductive issues.

76
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
They have a mission, a job to do, and they're doing their job

77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
with little respect to their subjects.

78
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
90% of reported abductions involve descriptions of what experts call grey aliens,

79
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
extraterrestrial creatures with oversized heads and dark almond shaped protruding eyes.

80
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Less common are insect-like or reptilian creatures.

81
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
The reptilian type has bothered a lot of people.

82
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
It seems to be quite hostile and intrusive.

83
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
It often has claw-like hands.

84
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
I know there's one case where claw marks were photographed on the back of a woman.

85
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
There's one being in particular that I always recognize and he's not a grey.

86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
He's taller, he's thinner, he's got a bigger head, he's got bigger eyes.

87
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
His limbs are very praying mantis-like.

88
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I remember being on the table with my head turned away, not wanting to look at this creature.

89
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And then when I looked at him, I just recognized him as the one that I hated.

90
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
In a few cases, subjects claim to see hybrids, creatures who are half human, half alien.

91
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Some abductees believe they have been cross-bred with aliens to create these hybrids.

92
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:48,000
A very important part of the abduction phenomenon is that there are reproductive procedures carried out upon them.

93
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
I've been shown children, I've been shown babies.

94
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
I've been asked to hold children and babies.

95
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I've been asked to give these children affection.

96
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And these children aren't alien children and they're not human children.

97
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
They're somewhere in between.

98
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
I had a woman who had been to the doctor, had an ultrasound done.

99
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Her husband was there, everyone observed at three months a healthy fetus.

100
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
The next day she wakes up screaming, they took it.

101
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000
So upset, her husband takes her back to the doctor, he does a pregnancy test, finds out she's no longer pregnant, they do a DNC, there's nothing there.

102
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
The most humiliating thing that happened to me is they put a cylindrical sort of thing over my genitals.

103
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
And it made me have an orgasm in a second.

104
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000
And I really feel like I'm one of those few men who knows what a woman feels like when she's raped.

105
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I've been on a table and I've seen something removed from my body that I will call a fetus.

106
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
A baby was so small I couldn't believe that it could live on its own.

107
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
I remember putting my finger in the arch of its foot.

108
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I was afraid to look at the face, I was afraid to see what it looked like.

109
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
There seems to be an enormous interest in the emotional side of this too, in the part of the aliens.

110
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
They want us to hold these odd little children, these babies.

111
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
They want to see how a mother will hold in love a child.

112
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Things which to us are instinctive.

113
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000
The abduction phenomenon begins usually in infancy, or at least by the age of two, three or four.

114
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
It continues all through childhood, all through maturity, and into old age as well.

115
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I have many cases where the person is taken as a child, usually what we refer to as the bedroom visitation.

116
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I was laying in bed, I opened my eyes, and here's a little gray standing there looking at me.

117
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
And all I could really remember were those dark eyes.

118
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
It is as if that person has become a kind of tagged animal in someone else's experiment.

119
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And that little person, as he or she grows to adulthood, will be abducted over a period of time at irregular intervals.

120
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Let us assume that this is all being made up, that this is internally generated, that there is no abduction phenomenon.

121
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
If that's the case, then we have discovered something of enormous importance.

122
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
What are the repercussions of thousands of people running around thinking they're crazy, feeling crazy, being crazy,

123
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
because they have no way to understand what's happening?

124
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Psychiatrists and psychologists who are dealing with these people are the first to say,

125
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:32,000
something happened to this person. This is not a fantasy, this is not something the person cooked up.

126
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
This was an event in that person's life which was truly upsetting.

127
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
These experiences are not pleasant experiences. This is not something I'm happy happened to me.

128
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000
There's a part of me that would love to find the answer that it was something else.

129
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000
It's a very lonely place to be, to have this experience and not be able to remember the details and not know if it's real.

130
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And it's very, very hard to walk through life with this kind of a secret.

131
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Even some of the most skeptical members of the psychiatric profession agree that the abduction phenomenon is not a hoax,

132
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
but the causes for these stories are to be found not in alien spacecraft, but right here on Earth.

133
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
When we return, Sightings finds evidence that at least some UFO encounters may be the result of top secret experiments

134
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
the government doesn't want you to know about.

135
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Coming up, what's hidden in Area 51? Many claim it's the US military's own top secret UFOs.

136
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
We have things out there that are literally out of this world.

137
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
For years the US government has had a standing policy.

138
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
It would neither confirm nor deny the existence of UFOs.

139
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Their non-cooperation has been interpreted by many ufologists as evidence of a government conspiracy to cover up UFO sightings.

140
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Now Sightings has uncovered information that provides another explanation for their silence.

141
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Many UFO sightings may actually be top secret military aircraft the government doesn't want you to know about.

142
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
When I first saw the UFO it was directly overhead, moving incredibly slowly.

143
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
The shape of it was half a triangle.

144
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
And all of a sudden over at the hill this enormous pattern of lights emerges.

145
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I was just in awe of what I'd seen because I didn't know what it was and I'd never seen anything like it.

146
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Holy cow!

147
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000
There's no question that there have been sightings by military devices in space.

148
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,000
And that gets us right to the UFO question. Are we dealing with a cosmic watergate? Which I maintain that we are.

149
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
What the hell was that? I don't know. It was me.

150
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
It was like leaving stuff behind it wasn't it?

151
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,000
For the past 25 years the United States government, especially the Air Force, has been telling us these things don't exist.

152
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:58,000
I feel that there's been so much controversy about cover-ups in UFO phenomena and everything that goes on.

153
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
And I think that someone needs to point out that a lot of it is just hard wash.

154
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
And anybody who says the United States government is not withholding information about flying

155
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
so it simply isn't telling the truth or they're totally ignorant one way or the other.

156
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Our most recent investigation has concentrated on a series of sightings in the western United States.

157
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Sightings has learned that many UFOs spotted in California and Nevada may actually be highly classified military experiments called black projects.

158
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Sources familiar with these black projects, many of whom wish to remain anonymous, have told us that the military is now experimenting with aerospace technology beyond our wildest dreams.

159
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The objects we're talking about are zipping around and doing hard angled turns, acute angled turns.

160
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000
In order to do that it must be controlling gravity and therefore what you're talking about is a spacecraft, not an aircraft.

161
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,000
I think you have to be careful not to confuse what's mysterious with what is virtually supernatural.

162
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Certainly some of these things are going to look very strange, they're very unlike aircraft with which people are familiar.

163
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Well certainly the history of the flying saucer phenomena suggests that in the past classified programs resulted in a lot of reports of flying saucers.

164
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:29,000
And if you see all of the instances where conventional aircraft have been misinterpreted as flying saucers, it's quite easy to understand how unconventional aircraft could receive a similar misinterpretation.

165
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000
In the Nevada desert we have things that would make George Lucas envious. We have things out there that are literally out of this world.

166
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Most aeronautical black projects reportedly operate out of this test site located at Groom Lake in Nevada.

167
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:54,000
This installation is also known as Area 51 or Dreamland. The government denies the very existence of Area 51, but these photographs do prove there is an installation at Groom Lake.

168
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:04,000
They have a hangar near the south end of the ramp that appears to have doors that are almost 200 feet tall, 400 feet wide. You can put anything in there.

169
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000
One of the problems associated with Groom Lake is the fact that it is a place that does not officially exist.

170
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
This federal official insisted on hiding his identity.

171
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Area 51 is the most tightly secured installation in this country. It's guarded both over the air and on the ground by elite Air Force Security Police and Department of Energy Special Response Teams.

172
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,000
They are heavily armed and their total mission is to keep people off of this installation.

173
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:44,000
It's an ideal place for top secret, highly classified military projects to refine them to take them to the next level.

174
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:53,000
This is the place. You have deep, deep desert valleys, high mountain ranges to camouflage and mask these things when they fly.

175
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
The military is the top dog here in Nevada. No doubt about it. They run the show.

176
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:08,000
If someone came to me and said there's just absolutely nothing, that's secret. And they decided they were going to hike into Area 51.

177
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000
I think that could be the biggest and perhaps the last mistake they're going to make in their life.

178
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Are these people still locked into a Cold War mentality? Is that the point here? Or are they really hiding something that's totally alien?

179
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Is this otherworldly technology that's being applied to Air Force Black projects?

180
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
One of the most recent Black projects to be leaked to the media has been dubbed Aurora.

181
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
The few facts revealed so far about Aurora's speed and maneuverability are tantalizing.

182
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Rumors about Aurora first started after thousands of people in Southern California reported feeling earthquakes.

183
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Seismologists found that the tremors were not earthquakes but were caused by sonic booms.

184
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,000
The booms were the first hard evidence that high-speed, undedivide aircraft were operating over the western United States.

185
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
We really can't tell what's moving. The only thing we see is the sonic boom and that's telling us that something is moving faster than speed of sound.

186
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
So actually we can't even tell it's an airplane.

187
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
The sonic booms were tracked and found to be heading toward Nevada.

188
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
At the same time, witnesses described an increasing number of UFOs that defied the laws of aerodynamics.

189
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,000
If they are top-secret military aircraft, where is this new technology coming from?

190
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:37,000
The technology is incredible. A Mach 6 airplane, an unmanned aerial vehicle performing these incredibly banked high-speed turns.

191
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:46,000
It boggles the mind. Yeah, I think it could possibly be something otherworldly or at least borrowed alien technology.

192
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
I don't put that beyond the realm.

193
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Top-secret testing of experimental aircraft does provide a compelling explanation for many UFO sightings.

194
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:03,000
But what about sightings which occur in remote areas far from military bases or sightings in which eyewitnesses claim personal contact?

195
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Further investigation is needed to provide a more complete answer to the UFO question.

196
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Coming up, a sighting's viewer asks us to investigate a sinister entity that haunts her family's home.

197
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
My little girl's hysterical and I can't do anything.

198
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Recently, one of our viewers called and tell us that she believes her home and family are haunted

199
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
and has asked sightings to conduct a ghost investigation.

200
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Well, we thought this would be a good opportunity to show you step by step how a real ghost investigation is conducted.

201
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
I went to her home in Garden Grove, California to begin the investigation process.

202
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:47,000
My little girl's hysterical and I can't do anything. I feel so weak, so helpless, and I don't know what to do.

203
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Soon after Anita Mock and her family moved into this Garden Grove, California home, the haunting phenomena began.

204
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
At first, the family claimed the ghostly activity was benign. Objects would appear and disappear without warning.

205
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
But in the past few weeks, the haunting has taken a frightening turn.

206
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:13,000
When I saw that that night, I dropped the dishes that I was holding in. I grabbed my little sister and I ran outside and I just went hysterical.

207
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I turned around and looked at her and I just got up and started running.

208
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,000
We both jumped because we're ready for anything at that moment. We're just so scared.

209
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
The family has seen a spectral figure dressed in white moving through the house.

210
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Doors slammed for no reason, lights go on and off, and as Anita told me, something is now physically harming her children.

211
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Three year old sleeps right here.

212
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
And I came in and I asked her what's wrong. She just sat up and she was just shaking and she just started crying.

213
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And I just kept telling her, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?

214
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Oh no, no, no. Bad man walked from hall, came in here and gave me an ouchie.

215
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
What did she mean, gave her ouchie?

216
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
That meant to her that he hurt her.

217
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:04,000
No physical effects could be seen after the daughter's frightening experience, but psychologically, the haunting has certainly affected everyone.

218
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Tell us what happened on that night when you saw something in the kitchen.

219
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
It looked like something was staring at me.

220
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000
I noticed something was wearing white and it was peeking around the door and it had like its hands on the door.

221
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
She grabbed my daughter because she was afraid to look up at her. She was afraid, because it looked solid.

222
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
She was afraid it was going to come out and get her.

223
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I ran out. I went out in the backyard and Anita was out there and I just started crying and I couldn't stop crying.

224
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:45,000
In desperation, the family asked a Catholic priest to bless the home in hopes that it would drive away the entity.

225
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000
But it's still here and I don't know what to do.

226
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,000
I mean, what do you do in a situation like this when a little girl is scared to death and you can't comfort her?

227
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I don't know what to do.

228
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,000
We've asked Lloyd Arback, the director of the OPI, the office of Paranormal Investigations, to conduct this ghost investigation for us.

229
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Lloyd Arback, welcome to Sightings.

230
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Thank you, Tim. It's good to be here.

231
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Typically, what would be your first step in an investigation?

232
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
The first step in any investigation is always going to be witness interviews.

233
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000
And we'll try to do other things such as go through the house, which is very typical, with a map, a floor plan of the house,

234
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
and try to pin down where things have gone on within the house, usually with a couple of the witnesses.

235
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
And we also walk through with our tri-field meters, which measure magnetic fields, among other things,

236
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
to try to determine if there's any sort of correlation.

237
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Do you have any hunches, Lloyd, about what might be causing a haunting phenomenon in this case, if there is one?

238
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:49,000
My hunch is this is probably a poltergeist case where we might have some things being moved around by someone or the whole family,

239
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
using mind over battery ability, and there might be an overtone of an apparition.

240
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:59,000
That has happened in a number of cases where, literally, some suggestion that there might be a ghost there has caused people to see it.

241
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Lloyd, what is it that interests you about this particular case?

242
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Probably the most interesting thing about this case is that it is a mixed bag, that we have physical object movement,

243
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
plus we have an apparition being cited.

244
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:20,000
With very rare exceptions, most of the apparition cases where people see a ghost or hear voices that seem to be fairly intelligent,

245
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000
that we call apparitions or ghosts, those cases don't also involve physical object movement.

246
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
So this is kind of interesting from the point that it might be both.

247
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
It could be an apparition moving things around, it could be a poltergeist,

248
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,000
or it could be a lot of things that are misinterpreted by the family, and there could be nothing paranormal going on.

249
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Lloyd, thanks for joining us.

250
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Thank you, Tim.

251
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
In the coming weeks, we'll bring you updates on Lloyd's progress as he conducts this ghost investigation.

252
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
To report your paranormal experience, call the sightings hotline at 1-900-740-SITE.

253
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Each call 75 cents a minute, average call last two minutes, and you must be 18 years or older.

254
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Again, call 1-900-740-7483.

255
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Join us next time for new investigations into the unexplained.

256
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
For Sightings, I'm Tim White. Good night.

257
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Tomorrow, after a full hour of cops, emergency teams go into action to save the victims of an airliner crash on a special hour of Code 3.

258
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Now, likely suspects is next.

259
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
You
