1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
On this edition of Sightings.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,000
All I could see was a bright light straight above me.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
And there was three of them to the west, right on the horizon.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
In Idaho, a series of UFO sightings has residents terrified.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I feel uncomfortable in the dark because there's something out there.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Then, at Hollywood's Nickerbocker Hotel, past tragedies replay nightly like an old movie.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Some sort of psychic scar exists so powerful that it would remain even to this day.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Plus, doctors gave up hope, but this man emerged from a coma despite the odds.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It was the neurologist's opinion that there was no hope.

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Later, if they had followed an ancient Chinese philosophy, would Bruce Lee and his son be alive today?

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Bruce Lee laughed it off. He refused to take it seriously.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
And a sightings update.

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
In Mexico City, an airline pilot says he barely avoided a mid-air collision with an extraterrestrial craft.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Music

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Most UFOs, as many as 80% according to our experts, can be dismissed as military aircraft misidentified by civilian eyes.

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
But sightings over populated areas can't be written off in this way.

18
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
The Air Force says that they don't fly highly experimental craft over populated areas.

19
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So now, a rash of sightings between Spokane, Washington and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho have people wondering, just what are they?

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Over there, at the top of those trees over there, there was a bright light shining.

21
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And it was like they were putting on a laser show. They turn up on their sides and you see like laser beams of light.

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
I called the Post Falls Police Department and they came out and this gentleman was a sergeant.

23
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
He asked us what we thought we were looking at. At this point, I handed him my bedocklers and I said, look for yourself.

24
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
He immediately reported the same thing that we were seeing.

25
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Beginning on March 2, 1994, people in the small town of Post Falls, Idaho, started seeing UFOs.

26
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Post Falls Police.

27
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Emergency communications officer Chris Euler took the first UFO calls.

28
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Well, it was on graveyard shift and we had reports that people were seeing twinkling lights.

29
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
They were kind of nervous and said there's something floating in the sky.

30
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Well, the first thing we did was run outside and look and see if there really was something in the sky and there was a white light.

31
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,000
And there were colored lights kind of rotating around it. There was red, green, blue, purple and a gold colored light.

32
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And they were flashing systematically.

33
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
That night, the police switchboard received several calls of concern.

34
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Post Falls wanted answers, but the authorities were stumped. They began referring many of the callers to Jerry Rowles.

35
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I'm a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Air Force and I am the Assistant State Director for Washington State of the Mutual UFO Network.

36
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
We use scientific methodology in our field investigative procedures.

37
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:34,000
We also interface with various other organizations to include astronomical societies, Air Force, Sheriff's Department,

38
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:43,000
United States Meteorological Offices and the Federal Aviation Agency to try to rule out what the objects may not be.

39
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
We've recently had an increased number of reports here in the area of Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls area.

40
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And the people have been reporting a nebulous type of lights that are observed in the night sky.

41
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:06,000
It was very shallow light, two shallow saucers placed together. The only lights on it were on the bottom.

42
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
There was the big one that I keep mentioning. In the center was a recessed amber light.

43
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
And there was three of them to the west, right on the horizon. Then we saw an aircraft coming in from the east.

44
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
At that point, we happened to glance back to the west and these three just took off and straight up and the lights went out.

45
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000
The aircraft went on by and we discussed this. We stood and watched it for a little while and pretty soon the lights come back down.

46
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
The three of them come right back down in the same position.

47
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,000
This amateur videotape, exclusive to sightings, is the only known visual record of one of the UFOs.

48
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:50,000
The object's brilliance and unusual flight pattern does seem to rule out the possibility that it is a celestial body or a conventional aircraft.

49
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Sightings of bright UFOs continue to be reported in Post Falls and surrounding communities.

50
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
In nearby Newman Lake, Washington, one man had a frightening encounter on a lonely stretch of road.

51
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Two nights ago, I was driving down West Newman Lake Road, a little before midnight.

52
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
There's a field there. I usually stop and look at the deer. All of a sudden, a blinding white light came from directly above me.

53
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I slowed down, opened the door, looked up. All I could see was a bright, round, incredibly bright light straight above me.

54
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
I looked at it for maybe nine or ten seconds, couldn't figure out what it was.

55
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Immediately became incredibly frightened, slammed my door, and I drove away as fast as I could.

56
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,000
As soon as I went to leave, the light was gone, vanished. As I was driving away, I was probably as scared as I've ever been in my life.

57
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I headed straight to a house not too far away, down the road, a friend's house.

58
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I could tell he was very serious because he was so scared. He was just... I've never seen him shake.

59
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
He actually was just shaking and very pale, no color to him.

60
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
I was in the military and I've been on bases. This light was not something I've ever seen on any aircraft.

61
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:12,000
It would have to be something incredibly large. I can't imagine the light would have to be fifty yards across to do this. It was huge.

62
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Later that night, local police put Dean in contact with Jerry Rowles.

63
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Rowles immediately called each of his considerable military and civilian contacts about the event.

64
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I have pretty well ruled out any type of encounter with an aircraft. Based on the interface that I had with the Air Force, I can only say what the object was not.

65
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
According to Rowles, it was not a commercial airliner or conventional military aircraft.

66
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000
But many residents in the area think they know what Dean encountered, the same type of UFO they themselves have witnessed.

67
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
The same type of UFO captured on videotape just days before.

68
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000
If somebody told me the same story, I would say, yeah, sure, whatever, you know, I don't believe you. You have to be there.

69
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Ever since what happened two nights ago, obviously I don't stop in the same place.

70
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I feel uncomfortable in the dark, not because I think there's a monster out there waiting for me, but because there's something out there and I didn't see what was behind the light.

71
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:28,000
A disturbing new development has just been reported by sources in Idaho. The sightings are continuing and where UFOs have been observed, ranchers are reporting cattle mutilations.

72
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Sightings is conducting an ongoing investigation in the connection between these new sightings and the suspicious mutilations.

73
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Next, a healer reaches out to coma patients with miraculous results.

74
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
I knew then that Peter was making an effort to recover.

75
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Deciding when to remove life support from a loved one is an agonizing decision for any family.

76
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Roger LeBord is a self-styled healer who claims he has the power to communicate with comatose patients and find out what they want.

77
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Airborne reporter and pilot Peter Peelegraine was Denver's eye in the sky, but on February 12, 1992, Peter's career came to a crashing halt.

78
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
His engine failed and he didn't have anywhere to go but the reservoir.

79
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000
So it took him 45 minutes to actually affect a rescue, which they finally did with a rescue boat.

80
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,000
And Peter had lost consciousness and was floating on top of the water.

81
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,000
They airlifted him to the hospital. He didn't have a heartbeat for the first 45 minutes.

82
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000
We got to the hospital, he went into surgery and the doctors came out and told me that he'd been clinically dead.

83
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And he made it through the surgery and was in a deep coma.

84
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Peter was a boisterous transplant from Australia, a family man, a fun-loving, joyous father of five.

85
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
It was hard to imagine that a man so full of life could now be on the brink of death, but he was.

86
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:21,000
The doctors told me that with the results of the EEG that the prognosis was getting worse and that I needed to start thinking about making a decision to either end his life or not.

87
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Her decision was to put her husband's life in the hands of a man she had never met, Roger LeBord.

88
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:36,000
I can't explain to you just exactly what I do because in the four separate cases that I've worked with, they've all been different.

89
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Roger LeBord claims that he has used a unique psychic gift to successfully communicate with four separate coma patients.

90
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000
All four instances, they were going to pull life support and let them die and it was the neurologist's opinion that there was no hope.

91
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Roger arrived about 10.30 and I said, well, why don't you get some rest and we'll go over in a few hours and be with him.

92
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And he said, no, it's really better if I start now.

93
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And Roger put his hands on Peter and Peter's arm and I laid my hand on his other arm and all of a sudden I got this really strange sensation of sort of electricity in my stomach and I just thought I can't deal with this right now.

94
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
I can't.

95
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
And so I said, well, I'm going to leave you alone and I'm going to go back and try and get some sleep.

96
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
I sat in the room for four hours doing my best to blank my mind.

97
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
What came to me was to go over and to start talking to Peter about walking through a field of flowers.

98
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And I described to him what the flowers looked like, the smells.

99
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:47,000
I described the surroundings and then I said to him, I said, you know, Peter, when you're walking through a field of flowers, you have to move your feet.

100
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
And that's when he began to move his feet under the sheet.

101
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I knew then that Peter was making an effort to recover and make contact.

102
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
The doctor came in that night and asked me if I'd made a decision.

103
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
And I said, well, Peter's made a decision and I think he's coming back.

104
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,000
For the next four weeks, LeBord continued to communicate with Peter through directed visualization.

105
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Peter seemed to be responding.

106
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:20,000
When you have someone who is not able to move and someone who's not able to speak and their focus of attention is elsewhere,

107
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
to communicate with them, you have to be creative. You have to figure out some other way to communicate with them.

108
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
My discovery was that there's a way of doing that energetically.

109
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,000
What I was saying to him, which I did verbalize to him later, that I was there to help him to stay or go, but I needed to know what he was going to do.

110
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,000
But the four successful cases LeBord has worked on do not convince the medical community that his technique works.

111
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:53,000
If someone's deeply unresponsive by nature of the definition, they don't respond to my questioning nor to the nurses or other people.

112
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Dr. Philip Yarnel is one of Denver's leading neurologists.

113
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:04,000
He believes that coma patients are neither physically nor mentally capable of responding to communication of any kind.

114
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:14,000
We think that they have hearing in that the transmission of sounds from clicks in the ears to recordings on the brain are often intact.

115
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Now whether they hear as we hear so that we interpret sounds as voices or as the messages of loved ones, that we can't tell.

116
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
But some recovered coma patients claim that their personal experience has been just the opposite.

117
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:43,000
I had the experience that's classically described as the near-death experience where you see the blinding light lights and feel the overwhelming sense of compassion and forgiveness and peacefulness.

118
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
In 1991, Mary Kay Blakely fell into a diabetes-induced coma.

119
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
For nine days she lay in a New York City hospital while friends and family kept around the clock vigil.

120
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Unlike most coma patients, Mary Kay claims that she can recall the thoughts and feelings she experienced while she was comatose.

121
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
She's chronicled her ordeal in this book, Wake Me When It's Over.

122
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I imagined that I was in prison and couldn't. I spent the whole nine days trying to figure out what I had done to land there.

123
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:22,000
You lose all measurements of time. There's no day, there's no night. Felt no pain, I felt no air, I felt no breath, I felt no heartbeat.

124
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
It was very relaxing. You wanted to stay in that state forever.

125
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Mary Kay gives a lot of the credit for her recovery to her sister, who maintained a continuous one-way dialogue at Mary Kay's bedside.

126
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
She thought it was her personal mission to give me some reason to come back, so maybe it made a difference.

127
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Dr. Arnold Mindell is a clinical psychologist who has spent 20 years studying the coma state.

128
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He challenges the mainstream belief that deep coma is synonymous with brain death.

129
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
He believes it is simply an altered state of consciousness.

130
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Years from today, people are going to look back on this period of medicine and dealing with comatose states, and they are going to say,

131
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:14,000
my God, wow, we were making decisions to pull the tubes on this character without asking her or him or even trying to communicate with them.

132
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:23,000
The goal is not to get the person to awake, and the goal is not to get the person to die. The goal is to follow nature.

133
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I don't think that Roger is a prophet or a saint. I think that he has found a calm and a knowledge and a wisdom of the heart.

134
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
He helped us. There's no question about it.

135
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Never give up. Only until the individual in the coma states that they want to go, then I would say be responsible and follow their wishes and pull life support.

136
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
But don't give up hope.

137
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Every day he gets a little bit better, but the improvements are in millimeters. You know, they're not in feet or yards. They're tiny.

138
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,000
And everyone is a hard fought victory. And he just, he amazes me how hard he works for things.

139
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:15,000
But a sense of humor is intact. He still comes up with some great one-liners. And, you know, he's still here. He's still part of us.

140
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
He's still here for us to love, to love us.

141
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Healers like Roger LeBord and Dr. Arnold Vendell want you to know that they do not consider themselves an alternative to licensed physicians.

142
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Credible healers work with medical doctors to provide additional support. No one should rely on psychic healing without consulting their family doctor first.

143
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Next, if an ancient Chinese tradition is not followed, believers say they could face disaster.

144
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Those who refuse to take it seriously do so at their own peril.

145
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Most people believe that good luck comes by chance. You either have it or you don't.

146
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:06,000
There are, of course, all kinds of superstitious methods to improve good luck, like a pinch of salt over the left, not the right shoulder, for example.

147
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:14,000
But the Chinese believe that there is a scientific system for improving good luck. It's called feng shui.

148
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,000
It is the belief that the perfect harmony in nature must be respected and reflected in what humankind creates.

149
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
It's absolutely not something you can see. It absolutely has to do with the forces of yin and yang.

150
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Yin and yang being male and female or light and dark or good or bad.

151
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000
And there's an intersection of these forces in any one location, according to the theory.

152
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And because of that, there are good locations and there are bad locations.

153
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Feng shui teaches that a spiritual energy called qi flows freely in nature.

154
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:58,000
But man-made structures like buildings or even tombstones can interrupt that vital flow and cause bad luck, disharmony, even death.

155
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Martial arts star Bruce Lee did not heed feng shui advisers when he built his Hong Kong estate and when he chose a burial site for his father.

156
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Both Bruce Lee and his son Brandon died tragically before their turn.

157
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Bruce Lee lived in a house in Hong Kong in 1972-73 just prior to his death.

158
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,000
One of the Chinese feng shui experts had come and told him this house was a very bad location that he shouldn't live here.

159
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
And Bruce Lee laughed it off. He refused to take it seriously.

160
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,000
He had basically said, I don't care about the old way, I have a new way, I'm going to show you there's a better way.

161
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Turning his back on the old ways may have helped Bruce Lee cross over into international fame.

162
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:49,000
But feng shui experts believe it also disrupted the flow of qi around him and contributed to his death by cerebral edema.

163
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Everybody is governed by qi, so we say qi is a real knee.

164
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:05,000
The body's metabolism is only a shell, and when the qi is very smooth, then he will have a healthy body.

165
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Feng shui master Yun Lin believes illness is caused by bad qi.

166
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
He claims to have healed many people by instructing them in methods that improve the flow of qi.

167
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Mimi Tsai was given a number of suggestions about the placement of objects in her home to counter the effects of an abdominal tumor she'd carried around for 19 years.

168
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,000
At that time, I just want to die. I don't want to live. It's very hard for me.

169
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:40,000
But my mother, she is worried about me very much. She tried to call Professor Lin, and luckily I talked to him on the phone.

170
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:50,000
I hope to use my qi over the phone. I imagine the light of 10,000 Buddhas shining on her.

171
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And he told me, don't worry. In two weeks, you will find a person who can help you.

172
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Two weeks after implementing Professor Lin's feng shui principles, Mimi Tsai met Stanford Medical Center surgeon Dr. Harry Oberholmen.

173
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,000
When I first saw Mimi Tsai, she had a very large abdominal tumor which filled her entire abdomen and pelvis.

174
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:25,000
The tumor weighed, I believe it was in excess of 3 kilograms, which is about 6.5 pounds.

175
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Using the combined forces of Western medicine and Eastern philosophy, Mimi is once again healthy.

176
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:40,000
I recovered very fast. Even the nurse, the doctor, they think, oh, it's a miracle. How can you recover so fast?

177
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Professor Lin also works with the terminally ill. William Whitson recalls consulting Professor Lin on behalf of a colleague at the Library of Congress.

178
00:19:49,000 --> 00:20:00,000
This one case involved a member of my staff in the Library of Congress whose father had an apparently incurable neurological disease.

179
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,000
The paralysis had begun at his feet and had gradually gone all the way to his waist and he was in a wheelchair.

180
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:15,000
So I introduced the young man to Professor Lin and Professor Lin looked at him and he said, your father has lived in this house for 50 years.

181
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Is that right? The young man was surprised and said yes.

182
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Professor Lin said, now that I know this, the way to solve his problem is to take an 8 foot pole, sink it 2 feet in the ground behind the house about midway on the long axis, and he will be all right.

183
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
The moment that pole was sunk into the ground, he began healing and he's all right today. He's out playing golf.

184
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:53,000
All of your bad luck has been removed. All of your bad luck, your illness, negative forces all have been removed.

185
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:07,000
The power of Feng Shui is intangible. It cannot be isolated in a laboratory or a test tube. We have only the personal experiences of those who have felt its power as proof of its existence.

186
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:19,000
When Brandon Lee died, there was information that came out at the location of the grave of Bruce Lee's father, Brandon Lee's grandfather, was a very bad omen for the family.

187
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:31,000
He's buried on a hillside in a cemetery above Hong Kong that an expert in Feng Shui had come to them and said, this is a very bad location and it's going to cause your family great difficulty.

188
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:45,000
But the Lee family did not heed the warning. The grave was never moved. Feng Shui experts are convinced that ignoring their warning killed Bruce and Brandon Lee and that heeding Feng Shui principles spared the life of Mimi Tsai.

189
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000
There's something there and those who refuse to take it seriously do so at their own peril.

190
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:12,000
If you'd like more prosperity, health and good fortune, Feng Shui experts have this suggestion. Hang metal wind chimes just outside your front door. The chimes will help direct the flow of chi or good energy into your home every time the door is opened.

191
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Coming up, a psychic believes she knows what happened to a missing boy.

192
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
He's been moved twice.

193
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Then, do Hollywood tragedies haunt this landmark and later, a pilot in Mexico City barely avoids a collision with an extraterrestrial craft?

194
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Every year in this country, more than one million children disappear. Many run away. Some are taken by a non-custodial parent and a few just seem to vanish without a trace.

195
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Eight-year-old Danny Hohnstein vanished in 1992. His mother has never given up hope of finding him and through her recent contact with psychic Greta Alexander, she has reason to believe that Danny is alive.

196
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Danny was a real happy boy. He was very friendly to people. He wasn't really scared, I don't think, around here.

197
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Danny Hohnstein's mother speaks about her only son in the past tense because she has not seen, heard or touched him since 1992 when Danny vanished.

198
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
I immediately ordered what we call an all-call, which sent out all our search and rescue available units to the area.

199
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:30,000
The tiny town of Paradise in Butte County, California had never had a missing child case like this one.

200
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Law enforcement officials and search and rescue personnel marshaled every resource they could to find Danny.

201
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:46,000
We had search and rescue from as far as the Oregon border, Nevada, and down below the Bay Area throughout California.

202
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:57,000
We had National Guards assisted. We had dogs. We had Highway Patrol, FBI. Everybody assisted in this whole program.

203
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Investigator Vern Kelch headed up the search, concentrating his forces in the canyon bordering Danny's house.

204
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Most of us assumed that he was probably in the canyon, but we were still going to work it from both angles.

205
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000
But from the beginning, Jackie had a gut feeling that her son was not in that canyon.

206
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I thought he was kidnapped. That somebody come and picked him up off the road because I never believed that he would go into the canyon.

207
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Every search you could possibly imagine, including floor units from which is a heat-seeking device.

208
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
And without any trace at all in the canyon.

209
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,000
The first significant clue in the case didn't come until three days later. A neighbor's puppy was discovered near the canyon.

210
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:50,000
The people in the neighborhood told me after Danny disappeared that they'd seen him with the dog earlier that day.

211
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:58,000
The puppy was found, but Danny was not. To this day, no one knows whether Danny Hoensteen is alive or dead.

212
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Where's Danny? Is the bottom line?

213
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
The search has been ongoing for over two years.

214
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Law enforcement agencies, search and rescue teams, family, friends, and compassionate strangers have all combed the area.

215
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:18,000
But now the search turns in a new direction to a farmhouse in Delavan, Illinois, and psychic Greta Alexander.

216
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:30,000
I consider that the ability that had been laid in my heart is a gift and a talent. And it comes through me, not from me.

217
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Where detective work has so far failed, Greta believes her psychic ability will succeed. She concentrates on a palm print provided by Danny's mother.

218
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:47,000
The hand is a servant of the brain. And when you look at the hands, you'll find tiny little lines. And it's like a roadmap.

219
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Every line tells a story. It looks to me like that he is still alive. And it looks to me like that he's been moved twice.

220
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And that there's a third move coming up. And that move is what's going to be bringing them back together.

221
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:12,000
After studying the print, Greta revealed startling facts about the case that only police and Jackie knew about.

222
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
She was then allowed to touch a piece of Danny's clothing.

223
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I feel like I am Danny. And I feel like I was playing out. And the next thing I know, I hear the dog barking.

224
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,000
And I feel like that there's a gentleman here and he's got the dog, you know, and he's holding the dog.

225
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:39,000
And he's telling Danny to come and help him. And the next thing I know is it's either like a suburban or a truck of some type.

226
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Or a, but it's like an enclosed vehicle here. And then the next thing that I know is I'm being transported or taken from one place to another.

227
00:26:50,000 --> 00:27:04,000
And the dog does not go. The person that accosted this young man does wear a uniform. He has a dress code or something here that he wears in his work.

228
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
I feel money exchanged. Electro to the officer, please.

229
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Greta Alexander asked to be put in direct contact with investigator Vern Kelch.

230
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Well, first of all, I feel like that I am he.

231
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Are you still living in the area?

232
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
No, I have moved.

233
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:32,000
I want to go to Oklahoma. I feel like I've been moved three times. I feel like that I am okay.

234
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:45,000
I feel like I'm with other people around me. And that that I what I thought about my parents is that they are not able to care for me.

235
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:54,000
And so you're now in Oklahoma and you're being cared for by somebody there. Is that correct?

236
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
I am loved.

237
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
I am loved.

238
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
And this is still you feel in Oklahoma. Is that right?

239
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:09,000
I feel like there will be a move. And I feel like when there's a move, then there'll be new news that will be heard.

240
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:16,000
According to Greta Alexander, this is what happened. Danny was approached by a man he knew the man was wearing a uniform.

241
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,000
He used a black puppy to lure Danny into a pickup truck or van. They drove to Oklahoma.

242
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And most importantly, Greta believes Danny is still alive and that he will soon be reunited with his mother.

243
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
And how soon do you see this move coming?

244
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
It looks like it marked there'll be some changes.

245
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:44,000
When investigator Kelch related the conversation to Jackie, it jarred her memory about an incident that had occurred just before Danny's disappearance.

246
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Danny was very happy with going to school until the last month or so.

247
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,000
It's when he started not wanting to go to school.

248
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And now I feel kind of strange about that since Greta came up with the facet that maybe it was somebody at school that was trying to befriend him and he was scared of.

249
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:19,000
I really hope Greta can help us with this case. She's talking to her. She's giving me things that should be followed up on and will be followed up on.

250
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Things that she would have had no way of knowing and that do pertain to the case.

251
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:35,000
And I feel that there is something there and we do need to follow up on the leads that she has given us.

252
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:43,000
I just miss all of him. Every little bit of him. Everything.

253
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Using psychic detective Greta Alexander has been a help and a comfort to Jackie Carter and her family and will update you on the progress of her search.

254
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:02,000
But it is also very important that anyone with information about Danny Hoensteen or other missing children contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

255
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Next, witnesses believe that Hollywood legends who died tragically haunt this hotel.

256
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:15,000
It's very possible that her spirit is one of those that haunts this area.

257
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Once upon a time the Nicarbaca Hotel was the toast of Hollywood. Valentino slept there. Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio spent their honeymoon there.

258
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:32,000
And Harriet Houdini conducted rooftop seances trying to contact the spirit of her dead husband.

259
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:42,000
We know Harriet Houdini never called her back. But some people believe that Rudolph Valentino is still appearing nightly at the Nicarbaca Hotel.

260
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Today, the Nicarbaca is quiet and plain, a retirement hotel in the heart of Hollywood. It's a mere shadow of the vibrant glamorous mecca it once was.

261
00:30:52,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The silver screen's brightest stars adopted the Nicarbaca as their playground. There were parties, romance and also a darker side.

262
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Disappointment, rage and untimely death have also made their mark on the Nicarbaca Hotel.

263
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:22,000
This is some sort of psychic scar exists. A leftover trace of maybe a murder or suicide or some great trauma that would leave that behind so powerful that it would remain even to this day.

264
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:33,000
The psychic scar that Richard Sennig describes can be likened to a ghostly movie perpetually replaying in the atmosphere of this hotel. Many here claim to have felt its effects.

265
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,000
We were the only ones here. It was about 11 o'clock in the evening and we were standing over here to get some coffee.

266
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
And then all of a sudden the ceiling fan blade blew off.

267
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:51,000
I swished my head to see Melanie when I did. Behind her I saw this guy standing in a brown suit, a brown hat, arms crossed looking down the ground.

268
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,000
And then the candle broke.

269
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:02,000
It just exploded. It cracked and broke. I mean there's no doubt in my mind that there was something here that night.

270
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Paranormal investigators believe that locations with a great deal of traumatic history bear the scars of their tragic past on the present.

271
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:19,000
What eyewitnesses describe as a haunting, investigators describe as spiritual residue of an emotional event permanently imprinted on the environment.

272
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:31,000
And the environment here is rich in emotional history, particularly in the hotel's bar and restaurant areas which have recently been renovated and reopened as the All-Star Cafe.

273
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:40,000
The Hollywood Knickerbocker has had a lot of history of stars and luminaries. A lot of celebrities have died here.

274
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Since she began working at the All-Star Cafe, Christina Apples has experienced bizarre phenomena she describes as supernatural.

275
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:57,000
As the months went by there were little things that I noticed such as lights flickering off and on on occasion or knocking on the door.

276
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Which was probably the most frightening thing for me because no one was there.

277
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:10,000
And there was a recent incident when I was just working here by myself. The front door opened and closed by itself and it's a heavy door. It can't be just moved by the wind.

278
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:18,000
I have seen an aborition. It was a man's head floating below the chandelier.

279
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:26,000
And I could see the gold vein of the mirror through his face. It was transparent and he had snow white hair.

280
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Are these sightings the physical manifestations of a psychic energy, the so-called psychic scar? And if so, is there a way to make contact with this energy and summon it at will?

281
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:46,000
There are several areas in this particular building that I think are definitely haunted.

282
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Psychic investigator Richard Sennett believes that dousing rods will be effective in locating concentrations of energy within the hotel.

283
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:04,000
We try to discover the root cause of a haunting. I found in many of the cases we've looked into there is a story of tragedy.

284
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Sennett believes that tragedy leaves permanent vortices of energy in its wake. Locating these areas may be a shortcut to another dimension.

285
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I found in researching haunted sites that dousing rods can really give some great clues to the areas that are haunted and also perhaps even give an idea of why these events go on.

286
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000
His method may appear odd to Sennett, but Sennett made several astonishing discoveries.

287
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Where I got toward the rear of the building, towards the long storage room, the activity was ten times greater. It was far more urgency and almost a panic in that particular area.

288
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:53,000
What Sennett did not know is that this area was not always an obscure storage room.

289
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The original entrance from the bar, which is now the All-Star Cafe, Coffee House, is over there, the pantry, and Frances Farmer was presumed dragged through from her hotel room through here.

290
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Frances Farmer's star rose quickly in the 1930s. She personified feminine beauty and grace, but in just a few short years, alcoholism and mental illness had taken a devastating toll.

291
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,000
When she resisted attempts to institutionalize her, she was forcibly removed from her hotel room.

292
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:36,000
And this is where Frances Farmer was dragged through nude to be publicly humiliated in front of the guests, and so they could deem her, you know, insane, and then the lobotting was performed on her.

293
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:50,000
In fact, it's very possible that her spirit is one of those that haunts this area. A site of such great humiliation could definitely have left behind some unfinished business.

294
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Further into the investigation, Sennett found another paranormal hotspot.

295
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:05,000
As I was dousing the lobby with a beautiful chandelier, I noticed it directly under it. In the center of the lobby, there seemed to be a great deal of activity.

296
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:14,000
I decided to try to ascertain its shape and size and attempt to get some kind of an idea of what it might be, some clue.

297
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Each time the dousing rods crossed, Sennett marked the spot on the lobby floor. Soon, a shape started to emerge.

298
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:35,000
It seemed to make a large, old-boy shape, and I distinctly got the impression of a body. I didn't see a face, but I saw like a person's head. The impression I got was of a man.

299
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:47,000
DW Griffith lived on 10th floor, started many films. One day, he was drunk and just dragged himself and collapsed dead underneath the big chandelier in the lobby.

300
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000
It was a fact that we did not reveal to Sennett until several hours after his investigation in the lobby.

301
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:03,000
In the lobby where we had it, because if that's the case, that means we've got some proof of a psychic trace being left behind.

302
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:16,000
I think that there is something in that lobby and there's something in this building, at least, as I say, three to four entities on the site. And I'd like to do further research.

303
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Most of the old hotels and theaters along Hollywood Boulevard are gone now. The few that remain are mere shadows of their former glory.

304
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:35,000
But within their walls, the golden age of Hollywood remains. And in those shadows, stars like Clark Gable, Maywest and Judy Garland may be taking their final bow.

305
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Next, a sightings update from Mexico City. A commercial airline pilot describes a mid-air collision with a UFO.

306
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
We had to have an emergency landing.

307
00:37:49,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Mass sightings of UFOs over Mexico City are still increasing. A sightings investigative team continues to monitor events in Mexico and collect new videotapes of bizarre aircraft.

308
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:09,000
And now, a commercial airline pilot, Captain Raimundo Ruano, has agreed to come forward with his own harrowing account of a near miss with a UFO.

309
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:24,000
It was what commercial pilots call a milk run. In this case, a routine short distance flight from Guadalajara to Mexico City. But in July of 1994, Captain Raimundo Ruano's routine was unexpectedly interrupted.

310
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:41,000
When my landing gear was in transit, barely down, I'm making my turn when I felt a very hard hit. At that moment, I didn't know what it was. I had never felt a hit as strong as this.

311
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Captain Ruano put in an emergency call to the tower. The supervising controller ordered Ruano to fly by the tower for a visual inspection of the aircraft. Because the landing gear appeared to be down and locked, the captain was given clearance for an immediate emergency landing.

312
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Immediately, the maintenance checked the airplane and found that the shock absorber was torn off. It was clear that there had been a collision. But with what?

313
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:35,000
After I landed the airplane, I contacted radar control and they told me that at the moment I was making my turn, there were two UFOs. I probably crossed my path with theirs and that's when I declared myself in emergency.

314
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:56,000
That day was July 28th, it was 9 o'clock when I received many calls. I then called the tower of control to tell them there is a big UFO in this area of the city and they said thank you very much and that was it.

315
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:13,000
An hour later, the people from the tower of control called us, you know, excited. When you said it was a UFO, we just had an accident, about this in line and we had to have an emergency landing. The pilot is coming, he wants to talk to you.

316
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Journalist Jaime Muson has heard many first hand accounts from pilots who have had unexplained encounters with UFOs. But Captain Ruelno is the first commercial pilot in Mexico willing to risk his professional reputation and publicly state what he experienced at the helm of the DC-9.

317
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:41,000
In the next 10 days, we have six sightings of pilots who are almost landing in Mexico City. They have these sightings.

318
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Air traffic controllers have also made sightings in the air and on radar. Sightings interviewed two controllers at Mexico City Airport. While they refused to speak on camera, they did supply us with this radio transmission between the Mexico City Tower and a commercial airliner.

319
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Sightings has uncovered several instances where unidentified craft have posed a serious threat to inbound aircraft. Why is this threat being ignored by aviation officials?

320
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:54,000
In many ways, they are connected to the FAA in the United States and that's one reason they are worried because in your country, this is a difficult matter. This is a very delicate matter.

321
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
Well, if I were a pilot, I'm not sure I would want to complicate my life by making a report either.

322
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Aeronautic engineer Richard Haynes has been collecting first-hand accounts of pilot sightings for more than 20 years.

323
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:23,000
I have commercial cases from almost every country in the world, by the way. Military sightings, test pilot sightings like the X-15, for instance, and NASA kind of test aircraft and also private pilots.

324
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Although the Mexican government is aware of the UFO flap active here, their action has been limited.

325
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:39,000
What we are doing now, the pilots, is to be more attentive in coordination with radar control.

326
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Because government cooperation is lukewarm, tower controllers and the Mexican Association of Pilots are seeking their own safe solution.

327
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:53,000
A mid-air collision between a commercial aircraft and a UFO is a real possibility they must avoid.

328
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Sightings will continue to update you on further developments in Mexico City.

329
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Sightings has expanded its America Online area. Key word, sightings, when you log on for access to sightings stories, images and events.

Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

332
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Next on Sci-Fi Dark Shadows.

333
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:05,000
