1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 On this edition of Sightings, 20 years ago, a military helicopter was attacked by an unknown craft in the skies above Cleveland, Ohio. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000 It didn't have any wings, it didn't have any windows. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000 After two decades, those involved still want answers. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 It didn't sink in that it was still a UFO. 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Then, did Alfred Hitchcock shoot his masterpiece of terror at a haunted location? 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000 It was disturbingly populated, and there was nobody there. 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000 Plus, this man's dreams may solve a double homicide. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000 They were telling me you did it. 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000 Later, a prophecy of hope, and astronauts describe their encounters in space. 10 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Sightings 11 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000 Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White. 12 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:25,000 Virtually unknown by all but the most dedicated ufologists, a confirmed sighting in Mansfield, Ohio may be the most significant UFO encounter to date. 13 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000 Why isn't Mansfield, Ohio in the pantheon of UFO hotspots? 14 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Because the key witnesses wouldn't, or were instructed not to, talk publicly. 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Until now. 16 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000 It was October 1973. 17 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000 A Cleveland, Ohio police detective asked his partner to meet him in an interrogation room. 18 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000 The cop wanted to make a report about the strangest thing that had ever happened to him. 19 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 And he wanted it on tape. 20 00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Today is October the 19th, 1973, and the time is approximately 2 p.m. 21 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000 I have with me in my office at the present time, Detective John Healy. 22 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Healy's going to describe his own way of an incident that had occurred last night. 23 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Okay, we left Port Columbus Airport at about 10.30 last night, about 11 o'clock, which is halfway. 24 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000 The tape you are listening to is an important historical document. 25 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:35,000 It is a permanent record of a UFO encounter that occurred on the night of October 18, 1973, as witnessed by Detective John Healy. 26 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000 It had a steady red light on its nose. 27 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000 It was cigar shaped, and it had a green light shining down out of the abdomen. 28 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Detective Healy wasn't on the beat. He was an Army Reserve medic. 29 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,000 On the night in question, Healy and three other reservists were returning to Cleveland via helicopter from their annual Army physical. 30 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Over the town of Mansfield, Ohio, all four men made contact with the UFO. 31 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Detective Healy now speaks publicly about the incident for the first time in 20 years. 32 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000 We were almost involved in a midair collision with an object that was coming out of the east heading west toward us. 33 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000 I noticed a red light on our port side going south. 34 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,000 It was a big red light, but I didn't think anything of it. I thought it would be the port wing of another aircraft. 35 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000 We saw it kept coming at us, and it was a clear night, unlimited visibility. 36 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000 It didn't have any wings. It didn't have any windows, as you would see on a conventional aircraft. 37 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:53,000 Healy was not the only witness. All four crew members saw the UFO, and the two pilots filed official military reports detailing their versions of the near-dently UFO encounter. 38 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000 But Healy is the only one who, two decades later, is willing to speak out. 39 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000 He described for sightings what all four crew members attested to when they signed this affidavit. 40 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:14,000 This was an object that moved at a very fast rate of speed. It saw us probably before we saw it. 41 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000 It just tracked us, because we had all our navigation lights on and running and blinking. 42 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000 And then it started back toward us again. Maybe it had never seen a helicopter at night. 43 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000 The UFO appeared to be threatening the helicopter, maneuvering toward it on a collision course. 44 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,000 The pilot was flying in the right seat. He had to take the controls, and he put the helicopter into a dive. 45 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000 After narrowly avoiding a mid-air crash, the pilot took evasive action, diving at a rate of 2,000 feet per minute. 46 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,000 At 1,700 feet, the helicopter was suddenly paralyzed, even though the controls were still in a dive configuration. 47 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,000 The UFO cast an ominous greenish light over the helicopter. 48 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000 This was just a humongous green light just shining down on us in a very definite cone shape. 49 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 You could look at the light and you could actually see the beam of the light. 50 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:16,000 The pilot tried to dive, but instead started to rise. It seemed that the UFO was pulling the helicopter toward it, overriding the aircraft's controls. 51 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:26,000 In regards to our aircraft climbing, while it was in a dive configuration, I didn't feel us being pulled up as in an elevator or a roller coaster. 52 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000 You don't feel a G-force of a dive or a climb. I didn't feel that. 53 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000 It scanned us for that instant that it hesitated over us. It scanned us. Then it took off. 54 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:52,000 After the object went off to the west, the helicopter pilot noted that although he had been in a descent and his controls were in the configuration for a descent, 55 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000 the helicopter had actually risen to 3,800 feet. 56 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:05,000 Jenny Zeidman was part of a research team from Kufos, the center for UFO studies that investigated the Mansfield encounter for more than three years. 57 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:14,000 The interviews, military reports and diagrams compiled by Kufos make Mansfield one of the most well-documented UFO encounters ever. 58 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:25,000 My analysis of this case showed that the object was under continual observation for five minutes, perhaps even more. 59 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Despite the impeccable credentials of the four military men, the center for UFO studies searched for ground eyewitnesses that could corroborate the sighting, and they found them. 60 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:44,000 The DeLong family was driving on the outskirts of Mansfield when they saw a helicopter hovering in the wake of a UFO. 61 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 The kids kept hollering. They wanted to stop. They wanted to stop. 62 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:56,000 She finally stopped the car and I jumped out. I remember the whole top of the sky was lit up a dull fluorescent green. 63 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000 I looked out and the helicopter was just sitting there in midair with this object over. 64 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:12,000 And to be honest, it scared me. I was scared at that time. But I didn't, it didn't sink in and it was still really something a UFO. 65 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000 The DeLongs were interviewed three years after the fact by Wara Nicholson, director of the Civil Commission on Aerial Phenomena. 66 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 He grilled the family about what they had seen. 67 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:33,000 I was a little bit doubtful at first that maybe they had just read the story in the newspaper, but they knew things that hadn't been in the article. 68 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000 From the multiple interviews we had with them, you could tell that they were scared. 69 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:47,000 This brought together two groups of witnesses. It established the exact location of the event. 70 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000 We were able to compute the flight path of the helicopter. 71 00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Legendary UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Heineck compiled sketches of the event drawn by the flight crew and conducted in-depth interviews about every aspect of the encounter. 72 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:12,000 At the same time, the military was conducting their own investigation. They ruled the incident a near miss with an unidentified craft. 73 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Their findings were inconclusive in large part because the radio transmissions between the helicopter and the tower had mysteriously disappeared. 74 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Was the tapy race to cover up the encounter, or could the UFO have intentionally obliterated the transmission? 75 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000 Coincidentally, many other onboard instruments continued malfunction weeks, even years after the incident. 76 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000 The aircraft number was a 15444. That was the aircraft we were in at that time. 77 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000 She was never any good after that. She was the hangar queen after that. 78 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000 The radios would never work right. Navigation instruments, nothing. 79 00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:02,000 The skeptics immediately came up with the idea that this was a meteor. Well, there's no way this could have been a meteor. It lasted for five minutes. 80 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000 No meteor takes five minutes to cross the sky from horizon to horizon. 81 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000 As far as I'm concerned, the case will not be concluded until we have identified this object. 82 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:26,000 But after 21 years, the trail is growing cold. The Mansfield UFO will never be investigated by our military, the way Detective Healy once took for granted that it would be. 83 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000 It's quite something. Anything further comes along? I'll just be a decision later. 84 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Oh, well, we've got a reserve meeting the 3rd of November, and if nothing else, I'll find out how far the report's gone from there. 85 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000 Thanks ever so much. 86 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000 When sightings continues, did Alfred Hitchcock know this movie location was haunted? 87 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000 He would always choose places that would have a mystique about them. 88 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:02,000 Alfred Hitchcock was film's undisputed master of suspense. He created some of Hollywood's most memorable moments of terror. 89 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:11,000 The shower scene in Psycho, the dis-een staircase in Vertigo, and the ominous ravens who perched atop a quaint schoolhouse in The Birds. 90 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:20,000 That schoolhouse wasn't a set. It was a real building in a real town, and the real family who lives there now believes that it's haunted. 91 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:30,000 People come here to see this building because that movie somehow affects them. 92 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000 I don't know. Maybe it's the idea of nature finally getting back at human beings. 93 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000 It was sheer terror, created by the sheer genius of Alfred Hitchcock. 94 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000 He took a real schoolhouse in Bodega, California, and transformed it into a nightmare. 95 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:54,000 But according to The Birds' leading lady, Tippi Hedron, Hitchcock chose the old schoolhouse for a reason. 96 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:02,000 He would always choose places that were of interest and that would have a mystique about them. 97 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000 I mean, he looked at it up on that hill, and it was really quite a... 98 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:17,000 Almost a bit foreboding, but it was disturbingly populated, and there was nobody there. 99 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Today, the movie crew and their make-believe world are long gone. 100 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,000 But some people believe that the inexplicable force that once drew Hitchcock here is still at work and stronger than ever. 101 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:39,000 Oh, there are bumps on the wall, voices in the hallway, sounds on the stairs. 102 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Sometimes I hear a woman singing, or maybe it's a little girl. I don't know. 103 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:52,000 The sounds of childhood have been heard in the schoolhouse since it was built in 1873, and not much in Bodega has changed since then. 104 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000 The first thing we did, we'd get in lines out in front of the school and pledge allegiance to the flag. 105 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:09,000 It was called the Potter School, and for 85 years it educated the town's children, and the upstairs meeting room also served as the community social center. 106 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:17,000 They used to hold plays upstairs, and they'd have dances and things like that, and then kind of dwindle down. 107 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,000 But in 1962, the county declared the Potter School unsafe and closed it down. 108 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000 The children were moved to a new, more modern school. 109 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000 But strange phenomena around the building suggest some of the students didn't want to leave their alma mater. 110 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:53,000 I was alone and was working at the tie prider. There was a slow rap on the kitchen door upstairs, and I stopped typing, and then I saw the doorknob turn. 111 00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000 I heard kids playing in the schoolyard, and it didn't faze me at all because I'm a teacher and I'm so familiar with that sound. 112 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000 And of course, I knew that there were no children here and hadn't been for a long time. 113 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:19,000 The Potter School has been lovingly restored by the Taylor family, and since 1970, three generations of tailors have called the old schoolhouse home. 114 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000 And everyone who has lived here has had their own ghostly encounter. 115 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:30,000 When I was 12, I was sat on scaffolding five tiers high and actually painted under the eaves of the building. 116 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000 And from the very beginning, it was very spooky. 117 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:43,000 After we were here at night, we began to hear sounds and steps and things that were all friendly. 118 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:52,000 The clearest thing that I've heard here is right up here in the room over by the stairs over there on Saturday night, usually. 119 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000 I hear partying noises going on. Nobody's here. 120 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:05,000 But all of a sudden, I hear a latest voice saying, hey, it's Sunday morning. 121 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Right. The party slows down, takes a look, goes right back. And I don't see anybody. 122 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:23,000 I did see an apparition a few years ago, a little girl. And she actually spoke to me. She said, hi! 123 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000 And the whole room echoed with the sound of her voice. 124 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Despite eerie reminders that they may not be alone, Leah, her husband Rick and baby Taylor, 125 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000 do not feel threatened by the otherworldly sounds and images that surround their daily lives. 126 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:47,000 In fact, sightings first heard about the activity here after sightseers at the home were spooked by an unsettling encounter. 127 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:55,000 When we received a phone call from a family of three in Washington, they had apparently been vacationing in the area. 128 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Their teenage daughter came over to take some photos of the house. And as she was taking the photos, 129 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000 she stated that she saw a young lady standing at the top of these stairs. 130 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000 She told the young girl to move and the young girl came down the stairs and walked right toward her. 131 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,000 And at that point, she apparently just evaporated. 132 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Suspecting a case of what's known as residue haunting, the Office of Scientific Investigation and Research 133 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000 has teamed with sightings to document the activity here. 134 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000 My name is Christopher Chacon and I am the case manager. 135 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,000 For this investigation, the OSIR unveiled its newest monitoring technology. 136 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:40,000 The robot has and is equipped with telemetry so that it can utilize video night vision, 137 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000 thermo vision and transmit back what it's seen back to our mobile laboratory. 138 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000 The robot was programmed to roam paranormal hotspots inside. 139 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Super sensitive microphones were monitored from our control center outside. 140 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000 The baseline readings taken earlier were continually updated and checked for anomalies. 141 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,000 We also were able to document a variety of anomalous cold spots also along the wall, 142 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,000 which was west of the main living room. 143 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,000 Much of the investigation centered here in the upstairs room that was once Bodega's community center. 144 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000 The room where the family has felt the strongest spiritual presence. 145 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000 I was sleeping in a bed that was right here in the South Cove. 146 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000 And I heard the front door open and close and I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. 147 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,000 And I looked at my dog and the hair on her back was up and there was a child's rocker right about here 148 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000 and also a plastic beach ball, small plastic beach ball. 149 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000 And the child's rocker began to rock back and forth. 150 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000 And then the beach ball began to roll. 151 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:58,000 And the night of our investigation, the same kind of unexplained movement Leia described was caught on tape by our team. 152 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000 That thing is best thing we should stop by now, that's on. 153 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,000 The swinging lamp seemed to be an eerie sign that some unknown force was at work. 154 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000 And the next morning there was another stranger sign, 155 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000 a message written on the outside of a window that had been painted shut years ago. 156 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000 After people live here for a while and they leave, what it creates is an impression in the environment. 157 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,000 And it's sort of like a loop, a videotape loop, playing back over and over again. 158 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000 I think it's the residual energy of some kind, how that energy is maintained. 159 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:37,000 I don't, I am a physicist but I'm a physics, doesn't have any explanation for that. 160 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:44,000 In search for that explanation, sightings and the OSIR continue to work with people in supposedly haunted houses 161 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000 in an ongoing investigation of residue haunting. 162 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Despite the ghostly activity, the family that owns the supposedly haunted house in Bodega Bay is not moving. 163 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000 They told sightings that a little paranormal phenomena is a small price to pay for life in paradise. 164 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Next, they're in search of hope and enlightenment and some believe this book has the answers. 165 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,000 It's a book about sensing another way of life. 166 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Self-styled prophets have been predicting the end of time since the beginning of time. 167 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000 So far, fortunately, they've been wrong. 168 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000 But by some quirk of human nature, prophecies of doom and destruction continually grab the headlines. 169 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:37,000 While the names of people who have correctly predicted enlightenment and innovation are lost to history. 170 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000 But as the year 2000 approaches, that trend may be changing. 171 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:51,000 If you look at the human race as a whole and all of our accomplishments in science and technology and in the arts, 172 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,000 you can say what a magnificent creature human beings are, what enormous potential. 173 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,000 And if we could fulfill our potential, what a magnificent future we might have. 174 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000 We are on the brink of that magnificent future, according to a centuries-old Native American prophecy. 175 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000 And many tribes believe that a living symbol of our golden future has been born. 176 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Sears from the Lakota tribe have predicted that a new age of global harmony will occur when a white buffalo is born. 177 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000 And the father of that white buffalo dies right after the birth. 178 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000 A rare event, statistically never impossible, but one that has come to pass in rural Wisconsin. 179 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000 If they had told me that a month ago, a year ago, ten years ago, I'd laughed at them. 180 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000 But I guess we got chosen. I don't know why. 181 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000 The white calf born on the Heider farm is, genetically speaking, one in a million. 182 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000 With the death of the calf's father, news quickly spread about the fulfillment of the ancient Indian prophecy. 183 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Now people from all over the world are coming to see what they believe is a harbinger of world peace and enlightenment. 184 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:06,000 We knew that we needed to be here. And it's not so much the significance of actually seeing the buffalo, 185 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000 but the significance of what it means having this birth. 186 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000 And it's my understanding that its races will come together and that there will be peace. 187 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:29,000 The coming of the white buffalo calf really sets a tone for our people, for the children of the seventh generation. 188 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000 So this is a really powerful event that is happening. 189 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000 There's been prayers said back there. They have... 190 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000 They cry a lot. 191 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:45,000 They sang together back there, held ceremonies. They leave their trinkets on the fence. 192 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000 That calf has changed a lot of people's lives. You see them walking with disbelief on their face. 193 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000 And when they walk out, they got all the different attitude. 194 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000 It's almost as if they have looked upon, if you might say, a guide. 195 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,000 The same search for hope that draws thousands of people to the white buffalo has kept this book, 196 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,000 the Celestine Prophecy, on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly a year. 197 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000 I met with author and reluctant prophet James Redfield at his home in Alabama. 198 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000 We discussed the impact his work of fiction is having on real life. 199 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,000 The polls show that what people want is something beyond just a belief in God or the divine, 200 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000 a belief that their lives are more meaningful than just survival. 201 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,000 It's easy to take a cynical view, but the cynicism just reinforces the despair. 202 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000 The apocalypse has been predicted at many times in history. 203 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000 Do you think catastrophe is inevitable? 204 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000 I think none of that is inevitable. 205 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000 I believe that what we visualize tends to come true. 206 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000 I think the universe is set up for that. 207 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000 I think that there's a place perhaps for those people that are saying, 208 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000 look out, the world's gonna end, but I think we can't buy into that. 209 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,000 It's very, very important that we visualize a positive future. 210 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,000 In his book, Redfield creates a mythical manuscript that sets forth nine basic truths called insights. 211 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000 The manuscript also predicts that once human beings learn all nine of these insights, 212 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000 a glorious new era will dawn. 213 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:29,000 The story is based on a manuscript written in BC, several hundred years BC. 214 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000 Does that manuscript exist? 215 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:45,000 You know, the insights as I have put them down in this book came to me through a series of what I would call intuitions or visions. 216 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,000 It's a novel. It's an adventure tale. It's really meant to be a parable. 217 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000 How'd you come up with the insights one through nine? 218 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000 Is one more important than two or three more important than four? 219 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Why the rank order? 220 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000 You know, I think there is a sequence to these insights. 221 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:11,000 And again, you know, it's a sequence to the way we shift our attitude about life 222 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000 and the way we are shifting our attitude about life. 223 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000 They build on one another. 224 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000 The first insight is that there are no coincidences in life. 225 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,000 The insights grow increasingly more difficult to achieve and to believe as readers proceed through the list. 226 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000 People who've read the book might go along with you on all the first one, two, three or four insights, 227 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000 but by the time you get to seven, eight or nine, you've left a lot of people in the dust, James. 228 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:45,000 When you look at modern physics and what they're spelling out is the nature of physical reality to begin with, 229 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000 then it doesn't seem so fantastic. 230 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000 The Celestine prophecy may be a novel written by a novelist, 231 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,000 but it has sparked a new age movement and Redfield is now considered its prophet. 232 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,000 Here you come at the end of the millennium saying there's reason for great hope. Why? 233 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Because I think that there's a core group, a slow, unherald tide of people that are kind of waking up 234 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,000 to the fact that this is a spiritual world and we're here to grow and evolve spiritually. 235 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000 And the difference right now is that we don't want to just talk about this. 236 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000 We want to really try it. We want to do it. 237 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000 It is important to reiterate that the Celestine prophecy is fiction. 238 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Author James Redfield freely admits that there is no Mayan temple hiding the secrets of the universe, as far as he knows. 239 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Next, 30 years ago, two young girls were murdered and this man's dreams could lead police to the killer. 240 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Maybe the spirits of the dead girls are reaching out. 241 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Then, a psychic healer works miracles. 242 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Henry Rucker healed my eyes. 243 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 And encounters in space. 244 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Everyone dreams, at least every 90 minutes while you're asleep, according to recent studies. 245 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,000 Most of these dreams are never remembered, but recurring dreams are different. 246 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,000 Images that replay in the unconscious mind over and over demand attention. 247 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,000 So when one Chicago man had a recurring dream about murder, he knew it was time to call the police. 248 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:22,000 In the winter of 1989, they began. 249 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:29,000 The first one, I woke up out of the sound sleep and the girls were screaming. 250 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,000 They were telling me who did it, who was responsible for it. 251 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000 The dreams continued from there. 252 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:47,000 In December of 1957, 15-year-old Barbara Grimes and her 13-year-old sister Patricia left their south side Chicago home 253 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,000 to see Elvis Presley's first movie, Love Me Tender, for the 13th time. 254 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000 They never made it. 255 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 A month later, their bodies were found near a rural road. 256 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Autopsies ruled that the sisters had died of exposure and the case was closed. 257 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:09,000 32 years later, in 1989, the case was just opening for Charles Byerly. 258 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000 It started like one a week, something like that for about four months. 259 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000 And they started coming in color. 260 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Charles was only 12 at the time of the girls' deaths and had no conscious memories of the event. 261 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000 I didn't know the girls, I didn't know any of the family. 262 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000 I never lived in their area. 263 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000 I didn't know anything about them. 264 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000 So when I found out about it, I was kind of shocked that it was true. 265 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Charles has several recurring dreams. 266 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000 In one, the last terrifying moments for the Grimes sisters are replayed in detail. 267 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:51,000 One of the dreams that was in color, it was a green Buick, I believe, in 1953, something like that. 268 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000 One of the girls was in the front seat with the driver. 269 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000 I was in the back seat. 270 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000 They were drinking. 271 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000 The girls weren't drinking. 272 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Barbara knew who the driver was. 273 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000 She knew who he was because that's the reason they got in the car. 274 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 The radio was going, you know, everything was fine. 275 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Everybody was laughing, having a good time, and then all of a sudden, there wasn't a good time anymore. 276 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 It became serious. They were in trouble. 277 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000 It got worse as it went along. Everything became like a nightmare. 278 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000 It really wasn't considered a dream to me anymore because it all seemed so real, like I knew them or something. 279 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 I've known them all my life, something I never did. 280 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000 You know, that's how close I became with them in my dreams. 281 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000 As the dreams became more frequent, Charles Byerley became convinced that he was being given a message. 282 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000 He sought out veteran Chicago area police officer Jerry Schultz. 283 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000 I honestly believe him. 284 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,000 I've never been one to believe a dreamer before, but I honestly believe him. 285 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000 You know, he had his facts, and I had my dreams, and the two just seemed to go together. 286 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000 When we went to the area where the bodies were found, Chuck walked up to the area right where the bodies were. 287 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000 It became very tense. 288 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000 He was upset. He wanted to walk away from that area right there, at that point. 289 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,000 After looking at some pictures, I found out that this was the spot where the two grimesisters were found. 290 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:32,000 This is one of several things that convinced me that his dreams, that there were in fact dreams, and they could be very helpful in the case. 291 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000 I knew the spot because I saw the girls there in my dreams. 292 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000 The trees that come across dead branches and things that I saw in my dreams, they were there. 293 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000 So I knew it was in the right place. 294 00:28:48,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Some of the items that he has described to me as being found or being owned by the girls has never been detailed in any news media that I know. 295 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000 Okay, whether it be in a newspaper or through television or radio. 296 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:11,000 One recurring item in his dreams was a special piece of jewelry, a ring that Patricia liked to wear. 297 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,000 I was in a small shack and I looked up on one of the beams in the corner. 298 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000 On the very top of the beam was her ring. 299 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000 Later on I found out that she received the ring for a gift. 300 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,000 You know, either on her birthday or Christmas or something like that. 301 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,000 And it meant a lot to her. 302 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:37,000 I believe it is a common thing for people that are deceased to try to communicate with people, you know, through their dream state. 303 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Psychic Jory Ann and paranormal investigator Howard Hyme were called in to investigate the places Charles has been drawn to through his dreams. 304 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Hyme recorded environmental anomalies in the area while Jory Ann voiced her psychic impressions. 305 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,000 I'm feeling stabbed ones. I'm feeling somebody getting stabbed. 306 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:07,000 Based on my experience, I do believe that the girls are trying to communicate with Charles about exactly what happened to him and why. 307 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000 This is a strange universe if we live in. We don't have all the answers. 308 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Maybe the spirits of the dead girls are reaching out in an attempt to obtain justice. 309 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Or maybe the living relatives of the girls are unconsciously reaching out to this dreamer in an attempt to obtain justice. 310 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:31,000 One night I had a dream that Barbara was whispering in my ear, no, not to give up. 311 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:38,000 To just keep looking at your dreams, remember your dreams and everything. Everything's going to be okay. 312 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:46,000 No one knows how Barbara and Patricia Grimes were killed, but Charles's dreams have provided new clues that could lead to a murderer. 313 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000 I would like to see the case reopen. The murderer or murderers are still out there if they haven't died yet. 314 00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:01,000 And that's one of the things that Chuck has brought to my attention, that the individual that is involved in this wants to confess. 315 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,000 He wants to bring it out. He wants to clear his conscience before he dies. 316 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:14,000 If the case is reopened, it would give legal credence to the idea that our subconscious somehow knows things that our conscious mind does not. 317 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000 For Charles Bayerly, finding the killer would not only be a public triumph, but also a personal relief. 318 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:27,000 Maybe the dreams will stop. I don't have to think about this anymore. Maybe they can rest in peace. 319 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:37,000 If I'm still dreaming about them and they're still coming at me like this, maybe they're not resting at all. Maybe they want it solved. 320 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:43,000 Officially, its case closed for the 1957 deaths of two teenage girls in Chicago. 321 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:52,000 But based on the information provided by Chuck Bayerly, Detective Jerry Schultz is now trying to obtain a court order to reopen the case and exhumed the bodies. 322 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000 We'll bring you the results of his efforts on a future episode. 323 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000 Coming up next, a psychic healer's gift. 324 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:05,000 In medicine, if we were to give a drug and get this kind of response, it would be a miracle. 325 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:13,000 Psychic or spiritual healing is the oldest of all medical practices. 326 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:21,000 It was an essential part of the healer's art before drugs and vaccines and sophisticated technology replaced the simpler remedies. 327 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:27,000 But now science is returning to the old ways because sometimes they're the only ones that work. 328 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:35,000 Henry Runker doesn't know why he has the power to heal some people, but he remembers having a special gift from an early age. 329 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:43,000 I went to a hospital at 10 years old for a town selectum. I woke up and I couldn't stay in my body. 330 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,000 I'd find myself on the other side of the room looking at my body and it panicked me. 331 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:55,000 And I thought I was dying or was dead. And I tried my best to stay in my body and finally I dropped off to sleep. 332 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000 Author Joyce Elaine Noll details Runker's amazing healing powers in this book, 333 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000 considered the definitive text on African Americans with psychic powers. 334 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:19,000 He has an ability to adjust people's energy fields, areas of blockage that a person has that is causing an illness and making them unwell. 335 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,000 30 years ago, Aisha Gries's doctors presented her with a fair complete. 336 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:30,000 She had an eye disease, Latinitis pigmentosa, and was going to be blind. 337 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,000 But then Aisha met Henry Runker at a spiritual retreat. 338 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:44,000 I got a healing from him and didn't realize it until I went back to the hospital for my regular checkup. 339 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,000 So after he worked on me, then the doctors decided that they've made a mistake. 340 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,000 I can see and I can drive and I drive at night as a result of my contact with Henry Runker. 341 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000 But can Runker's psychic powers be proven scientifically? 342 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:14,000 Henry in one or two sessions with a patient can do more than any psychiatrist or psychologist I've ever known in my life could do in weeks or months of therapy. 343 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:22,000 Dr. C. Norman Shealy is a Harvard train neurosurgeon who has become increasingly disillusioned with conventional medicine. 344 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:31,000 85% of physicians are honest, caring individuals. Unfortunately, they have been brainwashed from the day they entered medical school. 345 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:40,000 They mean well. They want to help people. They just forget that people are spiritual beings. They're not just machines. 346 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:48,000 Henry Runker has worked with Dr. Shealy and his patients on a regular basis since the two first met more than 20 years ago. 347 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:57,000 December 19, 1972, I went to Henry's office and I spent three hours for a one-hour appointment. 348 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:04,000 So he challenged me. He said, well, I understand that you're a psychic. Tell me about myself. 349 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000 I told him about himself and his family. 350 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:20,000 And I was impressed enough with Henry that I asked him to come up to my clinic to see how good he was at really intuitive diagnoses. And he was excellent. 351 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,000 Runker has reportedly healed hundreds of Dr. Shealy's patients. 352 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:33,000 Sighting set a team to the Shealy Institute in Missouri to see if we could document Runker's healing power as he worked with three women suffering from chronic pain. 353 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:43,000 Blood is drawn before the healing. Dr. Shealy believes that an increase in the level of a hormone called DHEA will indicate Runker's level of success. 354 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:52,000 People with deficiencies in DHEA have all the major illnesses, heart disease, diabetes, depression. You name it. 355 00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:04,000 If the DHEA goes up on these patients, any one of them, even 10% in such a short period of time, I will consider that a near miracle of healing. 356 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:10,000 Because DHEA really doesn't change significantly on a day-to-day basis. 357 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000 Very seldom have I worked on a person that didn't feel better in some way. 358 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:24,000 I can hardly remember a time when that happened. For the most part, something happened every time I made a healing effort. 359 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:34,000 You have to keep in mind that my thing is a spiritual thing and that I really don't have a personical control over what happens. 360 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Intuitively, I feel very strongly that these three people are going to be helped tremendously. 361 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:51,000 Immediately after the healing sessions, blood was drawn again. After independent lab testing, Dr. Shealy shared the results with his patients. 362 00:36:51,000 --> 00:37:00,000 Amazingly, in each case, the level of DHEA increased substantially after Henry Runker applied his healing technique. 363 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:06,000 In medicine, if we were to give a drug and get this kind of response, it would be a miracle. 364 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:16,000 I know of nothing that one could do, especially with a single shot, so to speak, in which you could raise DHEA 100% or 55%. 365 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:25,000 So I think this is the most startling evidence of spiritual healing having a biochemical effect upon the body that one can imagine. 366 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:33,000 I see this as a healing ministry. In my ministry, most of the people that I have sought to help have truly been helped. 367 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:39,000 Whether it be emotionally, whether it be a cessation of pain, and sometimes it was almost like a miracle. 368 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:48,000 The DHEA tests conducted by Dr. Shealy only seem to confirm what patients have been saying about Henry Rucker for more than 25 years. 369 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:58,000 Henry Rucker healed my eyes and didn't charge me a dime. I didn't get a bill in the mail. I got hugs and kisses when I told him that it worked. 370 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:07,000 Results, like those demonstrated by Henry Rucker, have not gone unnoticed by the mainstream medical community. 371 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:17,000 Recently, the National Institutes of Health announced a large-scale plan to study alternative therapies, including Tai Chi, Navajo Healing, and the Lane on of Hands. 372 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Next, Russian and American astronauts describe bizarre encounters in space. 373 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,000 I have seen a snake out there, six, seven, eight feet long. 374 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:40,000 The Russian equivalent of Cape Canaveral is called Star City. Until recently, it was closed to outsiders and jealously guarded its outer space secrets. 375 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000 But in the wake of gloss-nosed, a sightings investigative team was invited to Star City. 376 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,000 And when we got there, the first cosmonaut we spoke with told us that he had just had an encounter with a UFO. 377 00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:02,000 Sightings went to investigate cosmonaut sightings of UFOs, sightings similar to those reported by American astronauts, but dismissed by American scientists. 378 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,000 A lot of things we see in the pictures in space are things we're used to seeing here in the control center down here in Houston. 379 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:13,000 There are ordinary events that surround the spaceship, pieces coming off, water dumps, pieces of ice insulation. 380 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000 There's little pieces, 10, maybe 20 feet away from the camera. 381 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:24,000 But within the Soviet space program, cosmonauts insist that they have seen more than just floating scraps of space junk. 382 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:35,000 I think that we are not alone in the universe. I believe that someone or something of extraterrestrial origin has visited Earth. 383 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:47,000 In April of 1979, cosmonaut Viktor Afanasyev lifted off from Star City to dock with the Soviet Soviet 6 space station. 384 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:56,000 But while en route, something strange happened. Cosmonaut Afanasyev saw an unidentified object turn toward his craft and begin tailing it through space. 385 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:08,000 It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. 386 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:17,000 It was an engineering structure made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner holes. 387 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:23,000 The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. 388 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:35,000 Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away. 389 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:44,000 In addition to photographing the UFO, Afanasyev continually reported back to mission control about the craft size, its shape and position. 390 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:52,000 When the cosmonaut returned to Earth, he was debriefed, told never to reveal what he knew, and had his cameras and film confiscated. 391 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000 Those photos and his voice transmissions from space have never been released. 392 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:04,000 It is only now, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, that Afanasyev feels he can safely tell his story. 393 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:11,000 It is still classified as a UFO because we have yet to identify the object. 394 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:19,000 Spaceflight itself broadens your horizons to the point which you kind of open up to possibilities. 395 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:28,000 Dr. Story Musgrave is a veteran of five American shuttle missions, who has seen and photographed several unidentified flying objects in space. 396 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000 Dr. Musgrave does not believe they are craft from another planet. 397 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:43,000 On two of my missions, and I still don't have an answer, I have seen a snake out there, six, seven, eight feet long. 398 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:50,000 It is rubbery because it has internal waves in it, and it follows you for a rather long period of time. 399 00:41:50,000 --> 00:42:04,000 The more you fly in space, the more you see an incredible amount of things out there, and that sort of brings to you really a certainty that other living creatures are out there. 400 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:14,000 Some are incredibly primitive, more primitive, some are just proteins coming together, amino acids, and some just single cell organisms. 401 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:20,000 And other civilizations have been around for a million years that are doing unimaginable kinds of things. 402 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:31,000 Cosmonaut Athanasia believes that the UFO he cited and photographed in 1979 was evidence of just this kind of distant superintelligent civilization. 403 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000 Does the United States have similar evidence that they're also hiding? 404 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,000 No, I'm sure they were divulging. That's what NASA's all about. 405 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,000 It's about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. 406 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000 I can see no reason that that would be classified in any way, and I wouldn't let it be. 407 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000 I'm an astronaut, I fly in space. I have five flights. 408 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,000 The second I see some, I'm going to tell somebody. 409 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000 And remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. 410 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000 For Sightings, I'm Tim White.
