1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
On this edition of Sightings, have we lived before?

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
She said, you resemble someone, and she kept staring at my eyes.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
This man's amazing journey unlocked the secret to a past life and led him to his lost love.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I told her I'd come back.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Then, in 1975, was this country's strategic defense system shut down by extraterrestrials?

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
The military was very effective in keeping it quiet.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Could it happen again?

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
It's not the first time in UFO history, it won't be the last.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Plus, a sightings update. Will the Heartland Ghost strike again?

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
I think there is perhaps a lost soul or a spirit that is trying to communicate.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Later, they risked their lives while in an altered state of consciousness.

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It's dangerous, there's death there.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And survivors of near-death experiences share a special message.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I'm not afraid to die, that's for sure.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Music

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Welcome to Sightings, I'm Tim White.

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000
When investigative reporter Tim Stewart agreed to undergo a past life regression,

18
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
he thought it was just research.

19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
He thought it would help him understand a phenomenon that he didn't believe in.

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And he thought it would help him explode the myth of reincarnation.

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
But Tim Stewart thought wrong.

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Music

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
She kept staring at me, and she said, you resemble someone.

24
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Who do you resemble? And she kept staring at my eyes.

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Music

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
He arrived in a place he'd never been before, and felt that he was home.

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
He met a woman he didn't know, but his heart told him something different.

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Was it imagination? Wishful thinking?

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Or was it the end of a journey he was destined to take?

30
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I think with a logical mind, being a scientist, where I'm coming from is what didn't add up.

31
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
I just, I just discounted.

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Tim Stewart's strange journey began here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,000
A computer scientist by day, Stewart pursued his first love, journalism, as a freelance reporter.

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000
My wife used to tell me that two plus two didn't always have to equal four, but to me it has to.

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And so I like to have proof. As far as paranormal and stuff like that, I wasn't that much into it.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
But when Stewart was hired to write a series of articles about the paranormal for a national magazine, everything changed.

37
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
I was assigned several different topics, and one of the topics happened to be past life therapy.

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
As part of his research, Stewart became his own guinea pig.

39
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
He underwent several hypnotherapy sessions with regressionists, Elsa Laflame, and Irene Larrison.

40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
He felt if he was going to write about it, he wanted to know what the experience was.

41
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000
So that as a writer, he could interpret it and, and write about it in the first person.

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,000
The more you go under, the clearer things become. The very first time you go under, the second time things become hazy.

43
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
They're not as clear. You're doubting yourself.

44
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
But the fourth time Tim Stewart was hypnotized, the unimaginable happened.

45
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
The impartial reporter began revealing very personal details about a man who had died before Stewart was born.

46
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000
I knew that I grew up in a town called Allentown, Pennsylvania.

47
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000
I knew that I had brothers, and it was still bits and pieces of a puzzle.

48
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:02,000
He started coming out with some very good information. He started coming out with names, with places, with descriptions.

49
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,000
She said, where are you? And I said, North Africa. It was just as clear as day. I knew where I was.

50
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I knew that my name was on my bag. I had this cold feeling. I was chilled to the bone.

51
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I knew that he was part of the 47th Infantry of the 9th Division. I knew that I was born May 27, 1919.

52
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
When I was asked to look at the, look at the dog tag, it was as clear as me looking at you.

53
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
I could read the numbers off of it. I was able to bring out his military serial number, his blood type.

54
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I kept saying that my name was William, but I knew the last name was Max.

55
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Under hypnosis, a portrait of William Max emerged. He was a soldier, husband and father, born in 1919 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, but was there really a William Max?

56
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I called the Allentown Library, and we got a hold of the gentleman who is head of genealogy, and he told me he would look into it.

57
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
A month later, Stuart received a letter from the library. Enclosed was the obituary of a man named William Max and his photograph.

58
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000
I opened it up and there was Williams. It was just a black and white, but still there was an uncanny resemblance to me.

59
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:27,000
I started crying, and I don't know why, but I did. It was like, it was like, it was too much.

60
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Tim Stewart continued to undergo hypnosis, and the memories became even more real.

61
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Every time I went under hypnosis, I felt like something was wrapped around my forehead. I felt like you could literally reach inside my torso.

62
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
I felt that my left leg, there was something wrong with my left leg.

63
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Vision after vision proved correct. The grave marker he recalled under hypnosis was confirmed by the Pentagon.

64
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:02,000
So were his dog tag numbers. And then, as Tim Stewart filled in more of the everyday details of Max's life, he says he began to feel his soul as well.

65
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:10,000
I kept talking about this woman in England. I knew her name was M, and Irene asked me and came right out.

66
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
She said, do you know this woman now? And I said yes. And I said, she's my wife, Babette.

67
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:26,000
It was a strange recognition. Tim Stewart looked into the eyes of his wife and saw the reflection of William Max's long lost love.

68
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I think things that are unfinished in one lifetime, you're given an opportunity to finish in the next.

69
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
When Babette was regressed, her first recollections mirrored those of her husband.

70
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
It feels like daydreaming. It's sort of like watching an old film in your head.

71
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:51,000
But then, Babette began to reveal new details. A passionate but short-lived love affair in London that ended with Max's death.

72
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000
For a long time, she really didn't even know that he was dead. She just assumed that he just never wanted to come back.

73
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
She loved him, and I think in a lot of ways she was very bitter because he never came back.

74
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000
And no one could really tell her what had happened to him.

75
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:21,000
She was beautiful. She was as beautiful as my wife is now. And she just, the eyes is what it is. It's the eyes, I guess.

76
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Babette also recalled a name, Emily Ellison. Tim Stewart discovered that there was an Emily Ellison who had lived in London, the daughter of a prominent family.

77
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Members of the family were featured in many society columns of the day, but Emily was strangely absent.

78
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000
In a lot of ways, she was very rebellious against the money and the power and the seclusion.

79
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Her father was very strict, very controlling of her life and everything that she did.

80
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:59,000
When they met in England, I fell in love with her. And I was going to marry her, and I was going to come back.

81
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
I told her I'd come back, but I never came back.

82
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,000
William Max died in North Africa in 1943, but did he keep his promise to Emily that he would come back?

83
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Tim Stewart, the once skeptical reporter, believes Max did keep his promise, and that Tim Stewart was destined to fall in love with Babette because she carries the spirit of Emily within her.

84
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:32,000
We never really lose each other. Many people are afraid of death, and they're afraid of either losing someone close to them or being lost.

85
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:41,000
And this story really shows how you really don't lose the people that you love and the people who are close to you.

86
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Researching the life and death of William Max was just the first part of Tim Stewart's incredible past life journey.

87
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
By a strange coincidence, Tim Stewart met William Max's family.

88
00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:00,000
It happened when William Max's sister-in-law stopped Stewart a total stranger on the street and said he looked familiar.

89
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Coming up, Tim Stewart confronts his past life when he meets the family of William Max.

90
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000
I wanted to meet him. I didn't really believe in him.

91
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:18,000
After his past life regression, skeptical reporter Tim Stewart was still a reporter.

92
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000
But he was also a believer. He fully accepted the fact that he was the reincarnation of a man named William Max.

93
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:34,000
But, with the surviving members of Max's family also accept the fact that their dead brother and uncle had returned in the body of Tim Stewart.

94
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:42,000
They say that we recognize each other through our eyes. Our eyes are the window to the soul.

95
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,000
And, Babette, whenever I'm hurting or I don't feel right, if she just looks me straight in the eyes, it's just, it's wiped away.

96
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Tim and Babette believe their love is eternal. That they continue the love William and Emily could not finish.

97
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Every Christmas, under the Christmas tree, there's always a present from William to M and from M to William.

98
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Last year it was something as inexpensive as, I think, a 75 cent English coin that dated 1943.

99
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
And it had to be something to link to that life.

100
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Babette's past life is only one link in a chain of strange events that culminated in Tim Stewart's visit to Max's hometown in Pennsylvania.

101
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
He hadn't been in Allentown since he was four years old.

102
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
I went back for a funeral and I mean, probably would have never went back to Pennsylvania.

103
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000
But, Uncle Charlie happened to be one of my very favorite uncles.

104
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
And I was with another aunt and uncle and we were in the car right behind the hearse and we happened to pass over a railroad track.

105
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:51,000
As soon as we got to the railroad tracks, Tim said, this seems like I've been here before. He says, I really feel like I've been here.

106
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Tim had to get out of the car. Someone or something was pulling him in strange directions.

107
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
It was like, literally, the hair on the back of my neck stood on him.

108
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:10,000
With an unsettling mixture of fear and deja vu, Tim Stewart rejoined his family and met a momentary stranger.

109
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
We had a funeral that day and Bernice brought Tim and introduced me to him.

110
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000
And when I first saw him, I looked at him and I said, you remind me of someone that I know.

111
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And I said, well, my father's name is so-and-so, my mother's name. And I gave him, she says, no, no.

112
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,000
I think he reminded me of William from the eyes of Farhead and the hairline. At the time, I didn't put it together.

113
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And then she introduced herself as Thelma Max. And at that point, I asked her what she related to William.

114
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And she said, yes, I was his sister-in-law.

115
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Thelma Max is the widow of Jerome Max, William's eldest brother.

116
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:56,000
She and her children are the last surviving members of the Max family. They approached Tim Stewart with skepticism.

117
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Tim told us the story of what he had been working on. And I still didn't believe it. I didn't believe it.

118
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:15,000
But Thelma and her children agreed to take Stewart to the Max family plot. On the way, they quizzed him and challenged his knowledge of the family.

119
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:25,000
They kept asking me about William's mother. I could never picture her, but I would picture these long, slender windows with lacy curtains blowing away from him.

120
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,000
That's where their mother had died up in that room, where Tim saw the curtains blowing in.

121
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
While he was in Allentown, Tim Stewart retraced the path of William Max's life.

122
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000
He went to his boyhood home, the place where he worked, the railroad tracks where he used to wander.

123
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000
The doors just started opening up when the word got out in Allentown when I was back there.

124
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
I heard about this recordination coming back as Billy Max, and I wanted to meet him.

125
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I stood up and he locks over and he keeps looking at me and looking at me in the eyes.

126
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
And he says, well, I gotta admit, he says, you look and you stand like William.

127
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Prove it to me. I didn't really believe in him.

128
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:14,000
He says, you know, he says, if you really were William, there is one thing that he told only one person.

129
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000
I asked the question, what it was the last thing that Billy ever said before he left, when he left the United States.

130
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
And I said, stop right there. And he said, what?

131
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,000
And I said, I can tell you what it is. In 1940, I had a dream that if I went into the service and I shipped overseas, I would never make it home.

132
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I'd be killed. And the man went from sitting this way, leaning back and turned as white as a ghost.

133
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:48,000
I got goosebumps beyond his wrist. And I'm not the thing I believe in it, and I'm not saying I don't believe in it.

134
00:13:50,000 --> 00:14:00,000
I don't know why I know the things that I know. I mean, it's not something to even to this day, I've met the family and everything, but the only way to know is to die.

135
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
I mean, that's the only guaranteed way of knowing.

136
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Do you feel a special bond to Allentown? Something here?

137
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Every time I've been back here, there's certain things and certain geographic areas.

138
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
With time and growing trust, the Max's have come to accept Tim Stewart as one of the family.

139
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I think people form love relationships that they continue, that love bonds that they have with family members, and they continue to try to develop those relationships over a period of lifetimes.

140
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
And I think that's definitely true for Tim.

141
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
It was not a coincidence he went to Allentown. I don't believe in coincidences. I really believe that the energies tend to move as where we need to be.

142
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Psychologist and regression therapist Betty Bender believes Tim Stewart was brought to Allentown to bring closure to a life cut short.

143
00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:01,000
An individual who died in World War II came back very quickly and has a strong desire to complete something or find somebody.

144
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Babette thinks she knows who William Max is trying to find. During her regressions, Babette has seen Emily with a baby.

145
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:16,000
I thought that they had had a child together and that he had never known that the child existed.

146
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
It also came out during one of my regressions that she had died before the child was very old.

147
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
It was a son and she called him David.

148
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
If there was a David, his father and mother were dead before he was one.

149
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Where this war orphan is 50 years later is one mystery Stewart can't solve.

150
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:43,000
My gut feeling is if the child made it through the war, that more than likely he's alive and well probably living in England.

151
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Tim Stewart continues to use his reporter's instincts to search for clues about David, the son that would be older than he is.

152
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I guess there's sort of a fear to find this person and be rejected by them.

153
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,000
On the same hand, there's like a nurturing aspect where you want to find them to make sure they're okay.

154
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:14,000
What started as just another job, one more magazine article to write, has become a lifelong quest.

155
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Tim Stewart feels he must find William Max's child.

156
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:31,000
William Max is as much a part of my soul as I will be when I pass on and those two people merge.

157
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Tim Stewart continues to search for his son from a past life.

158
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,000
The child, first named David, was born in Devonshire, England and would be in his 50s today.

159
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
He may have been adopted. His birth mother, who died in the late 40s, was Marion M. Ellison.

160
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,000
His birth father was William Max.

161
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Next, will paranormal researchers find an answer to the Heartland mysteries?

162
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Further investigation, we have a good opportunity to solve this mystery, yes.

163
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
She scares the living daylights out of me.

164
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:17,000
For almost one full year, sightings has conducted an ongoing investigation into unprecedented haunting activity inside one unassuming house in America's Heartland.

165
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:26,000
We've heard from many viewers who have intriguing theories about the source of the haunting activity, so armed with your recommendations, we now return to the house.

166
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Sally, stop it.

167
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
I'm going to start a bleed.

168
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Why don't you sit down?

169
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
There's a little girl that's standing right there.

170
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Sally, is that your name, Sally?

171
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
MC.

172
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Yeah, I'm getting a new scratch.

173
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
There's an entity in this room right now, no doubt in my mind.

174
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Something is burning my face right now.

175
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Whoa, full view of eight witnesses.

176
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,000
You physically felt that?

177
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Yeah, that hurt.

178
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:05,000
After our last visit there, I became more convinced that this phenomena was legitimate, that there was something really going on.

179
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
One of the most unique elements are the scratches, of course.

180
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
I've been there, I've witnessed them happening while I was observing him.

181
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000
It's the story sightings viewers can't stop talking about, especially those strange bleeding scratches.

182
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Parapsychologists, Carrie Gainer, responds to your suggestions that the bleeding scratches could have a medical, rather than a paranormal explanation.

183
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:39,000
I've been researching a skin condition called dermatographism, and what that is, is a person can scratch himself and nothing will show up until about 10 or 15 minutes later.

184
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000
This is very interesting in light of the way this phenomenon is occurring in this case.

185
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:52,000
The references that I've looked at so far do not include bleeding with this skin condition, and certainly in this case there have been bleeding scratch marks.

186
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
So this doesn't seem to be a very good explanation for what's going on in this case.

187
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Many viewers also wanted to know more about the child entity, known as Sally.

188
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Sightings was chastised for overlooking a religious explanation, so our team now includes Francis Conmunk, Father Ed Anthony.

189
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I would not consider Heartland to be an extreme case. I don't think there's demonic possessions going on.

190
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:25,000
I think what's happening there is there is perhaps a, we would maybe call, a lost soul or a spirit that is trying to communicate.

191
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000
When you try to communicate with somebody, if they're not listening to you, if they're not paying attention to you,

192
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:38,000
you're going to do all kinds of things to get that person's attention. I think perhaps a spirit would do the same thing.

193
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Many viewers have suggested that the scratching is actually stigmata, which they define as a physical manifestation of Christ's crucifixion wounds.

194
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I don't think Jeff has experienced any stigmata. I think you have to look at, is there connection to the doctor who was involved or who was there when this young girl died?

195
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000
There is a part in scripture that says, and the sins shall be passed from generation to generation upon your children's children's children, however.

196
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:16,000
You know, what happens is it can jump over generations. Things can manifest themselves or things can become present generations later.

197
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
I've heard of these things happening and I think that you can find a psychological reason for it all the time.

198
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Not to say that there may not also be a ghost or an entity or some kind of spiritual explanation that goes along with it.

199
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
But I think there's also a psychological connection.

200
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Psychiatrist Dr. Carol Lieberman agrees with many sightings viewers that there is a psychological explanation for the haunting activity.

201
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Something about Pam and Jeff makes them more susceptible to haunting activity.

202
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Some people believe that ghosts don't just attach themselves or entities, don't just attach themselves to anyone or don't just come in at any time.

203
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:04,000
That people, the more open a person is in various ways vulnerable or open in a positive way, the more they're likely to affect them.

204
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:12,000
If we just drop our skepticism just for a moment and as a researcher I'm not really allowed to do that, but there's a real human angle here and that is a man's being terrorized.

205
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Something is happening to him without his say, without his control and he's got to be thinking to himself, well if this could happen what else could happen?

206
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
She scares and living daylights out of me.

207
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:35,000
If I had to come up with one global explanation to include the whole family psychodynamics as well as the spiritual entities that may dwell there,

208
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:48,000
I would say that it has to do with a lot of anger directed at father figures for abuses that have gone on through the ages with the anger at fathers or father figures.

209
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:58,000
These expert opinions are important, but as long as Jeff and Pam remained in the house the entities didn't appear to pay any attention to expert opinion.

210
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Now a new family lives in the house. So far they've experienced no haunting activity.

211
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:15,000
When I go around town everyone when I tell where I'm living they start talking about it. They tell me I've heard so many stories and I was surprised there's so many people that believe this stuff.

212
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:26,000
If the activity continues in the house with the new family then what we have is a traditional haunt and the people coming into the environment might bring that phenomena out.

213
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:42,000
So it's even possible that somebody could live there and nothing would happen. If on the other hand it follows the family to their new home then we have a haunt really that seems to be centered around an individual. Jeff.

214
00:22:42,000 --> 00:23:01,000
You're being asked to help Sally. The danger sometimes comes in I think with things like this when we refuse to do that. You asked me earlier if there is any physical possibility of any physical danger or harm. I think there could be.

215
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:09,000
With further investigation we have a good opportunity to solve this mystery yes. I really think we have a pretty good chance.

216
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:28,000
While the house is quiet now both Kerry Gaynor and psychic Peter James believe there are two spirits one good and one bad. There is also reason to believe that Sally the so called bad spirit may have followed the former residents to their new house.

217
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
We'll keep you updated.

218
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Coming up in Extra Terrestrial's sabotage US missile sites.

219
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:49,000
An object managed to change the tracking numbers on the missile then altered states of consciousness may keep them alive and later back from the dead with messages of hope.

220
00:23:49,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Sightings has in its possession authenticated Defense Department memorandum which state in no uncertain terms that military personnel cited UFOs over three different nuclear weapons storage facilities in 1975.

221
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
At least one missile was compromised by what one doD memo describes as clear intent.

222
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Ufologists believe that the damage was much more extensive and that our entire nuclear arsenal could have been the victim of extra terrestrial sabotage.

223
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:29,000
In the 1960s and 70s these images of a vast underground security network allowed America to sleep at night.

224
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000
A security blanket of nuclear weaponry poised at the ready.

225
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:39,000
But in the fall of 1975 someone or something tampered with our nuclear capability.

226
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Supposedly infallible systems were incapacitated.

227
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
An unknown force was at work.

228
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Military personnel observed it but could not stop it.

229
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Security was breached at three US nuclear installations.

230
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:59,000
At each base eyewitnesses reported seen unidentified craft hovering above nuclear storage facilities.

231
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
The speed it took off with I've seen F-16s fly.

232
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
High rates of speed.

233
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And this was here and gone from a dead steel hover.

234
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
One of the installations was here.

235
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Wortsmouth Air Force Base in Osco to Michigan.

236
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:22,000
The base is closed now but in 1975 it was on 24 hour alert armed and ready for a nuclear strike.

237
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000
In October of that year the practiced routine was suddenly shattered by an alarm.

238
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Radar was picking up an unidentified craft advancing toward the base at a high rate of speed.

239
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
This was not a drill.

240
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000
This is top prop with an expedite scramble.

241
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Authentication time is 1906. Scramble.

242
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:48,000
On radar the UFO appeared to be closing in fast but jet interceptors could not locate any aircraft in the area.

243
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Author Barry Greenwood has spent nearly 20 years researching the 1975 incident.

244
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,000
There were at least a dozen US and Canadian military bases that were over flown during a three week period in 1975.

245
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:10,000
According to this Defense Department memorandum military personnel filed official sightings reports after visual and radar contact was established.

246
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,000
In each case the UFO appeared to be headed directly for nuclear weapons storage facilities.

247
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000
The person writing the report stated that when one object came low over a weapon storage area

248
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:30,000
that appeared to demonstrate a clear intent over this area meaning it seemed to have intelligence.

249
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
We've spoken to a number of eyewitnesses involved in the 75 incidents.

250
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:42,000
They are all emphatic that what was seen was certainly not a conventional aircraft.

251
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000
One of the eyewitnesses to the Wortsmouth incident was civilian aircraft mechanic Rick Everhart.

252
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000
In 1975 he lived directly across from Wortsmouth's main gate.

253
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
One evening I went to bed approximately 12, 1 o'clock.

254
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000
I was awakened in the morning by a bright glowing orange colored light that was coming in through our sliding glass doors.

255
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Bright orange glowing orange fluorescent orange.

256
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
I don't think I've ever seen orange that bright in my life.

257
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
It lit up my house on the inside like we had the lights on.

258
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,000
So I got up to investigate, went to the sliding room doors, looked out over the creek.

259
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000
There was a large glowing orange oval shape object.

260
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,000
To me it looked like it was probably about two to three football field lengths long and a good couple wide.

261
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
It hovered over there for, I'd say, three to four minutes.

262
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And at that time it sped off at a high rate of speed heading away from the air base.

263
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,000
I was scared. There was fear running through me and I couldn't believe what I had seen.

264
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Everhart's testimony is important because military eyewitnesses will not talk on the record.

265
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:04,000
It's very difficult to find military witnesses because they're at the time covered by regulations.

266
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:12,000
They certainly cannot take a story like a UFO sighting and go running to the press with it.

267
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,000
And I decided along with several other researchers to file freedom of information requests with the Pentagon,

268
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:25,000
with the Air Force, with the bases involved to find out if there was some documentation

269
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
as to what was occurring over these bases.

270
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:35,000
And the Pentagon had advised the bases to invoke a Security Option 3 alert.

271
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
According to this Air Force document, the high level security alert was ordered because, quote,

272
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:47,000
penetration of sensitive areas during the hours of darkness have prompted the implementation of Security Option 3

273
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
at our Northern Tier bases, unquote.

274
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Sightings had occurred at Malmstrom, Wortsmouth and Laury Air Force bases.

275
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,000
The reason this is so significant and interesting is that they seem to be focused on atomic weapons

276
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000
and some mysterious objects which they call mystery helicopters.

277
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Some kind of unidentified objects were seen and tracked on radar flying around in areas where they had no business being.

278
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:16,000
In fact, these bases, because of what they stood for, there were massive retaliation capability

279
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:23,000
and therefore there were very high security bases with usually security police and guard dogs,

280
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,000
barbed wire, alarm systems, all kinds of things that made them very highly secure bases.

281
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:37,000
And that's why this is so significant that whatever this was flying around could just penetrate all these defenses at will.

282
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Timothy Goode is the author of Above Top Secret.

283
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
He believes the extent of the UFO invasion was far greater than the three incidents reported by the Air Force.

284
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:56,000
According to some researchers and some people who have come forward, there were several occasions when UFOs hovered over the nuclear missile silos

285
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:04,000
when it was shown on the control panel that the missile would not have been able to have been launched.

286
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Could UFOs invade and neutralize America's missile launch capability?

287
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000
According to ufologists, they could and did.

288
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Malmstrom Air Force Base during the first week of November of 1975 had several intrusions near missile silos,

289
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:32,000
one involving an object which, according to one witness, hovered over the silo and somehow managed to change the tracking numbers on the missile.

290
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,000
According to the witness, the missile had to be removed and retooled to make it work again.

291
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:46,000
And to see this not in UFO books but in government military messages was a real eye-opener.

292
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,000
And I think that if the public had known that at the time, it would have been great alarm.

293
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:59,000
To the Air Force, Wortsmouth is a dinosaur whose extinction was made possible by the end of the Cold War.

294
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:07,000
To ufologists, it's a silent reminder that UFOs have been among us and that their intent is clear.

295
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
So it's not the first time in UFO history, it won't be the last.

296
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,000
There are lots of cases where these things were real and unexplained and flying in and out of these top security areas at will

297
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
and they had no control over it. This would cause them a serious problem.

298
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
They can't say we're defending you, they just can't. It's beyond their capability.

299
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:33,000
They shouldn't be held to blame for this. I just wish there would be a little more candid with the public about what goes on in these cases.

300
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000
The United States Air Force continues to deny allegations that the 1975 sightings incapacitated our nuclear defense systems.

301
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:52,000
But they do not deny that there was clear intent displayed by UFOs flying over Wortsmouth, Loring and Malmstrom Air Force bases.

302
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Next, snakes in the pulpit lead these people to altered states of consciousness.

303
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,000
They handle fire, snakes, drink strict nine without being injured.

304
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Recent studies indicate that altered states of consciousness, deep relaxation for example, can ease pain and alleviate symptoms of disease.

305
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:22,000
But are there mental states that can actually shield the physical body from disease and even death?

306
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:32,000
In small churches throughout America, people in an altered state of consciousness are drinking poison, handling cobras and living to tell about it.

307
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:43,000
In the Old Testament, the snake is a powerful symbol of man's fall from grace, the messenger of temptation and physical embodiment of sin.

308
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:52,000
In rural churches throughout America, practitioners believe that they can confront the dark powers of sin and emerge unscathed.

309
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:00,000
In an altered state of consciousness known as the anointing, they grasp poisonous snakes and drink lethal doses of strict nine.

310
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:06,000
The reason why we handle snakes is because the Bible says in March 16th they shall take up a surplus.

311
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:13,000
And we also believe that the Bible says if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them.

312
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,000
And we believe through the power and the spirit of God that we can do it and it will not hurt us.

313
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:24,000
The participants typically work themselves into some kind of state of altered consciousness.

314
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:30,000
You become so heightened as to what you're looking for that it literally alters the body chemistry.

315
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Author Fred Wolfe is a physicist who researches altered states of consciousness and searches for a scientific explanation.

316
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
If you're doing something very extraordinary, I believe that there will be a change in your body chemistry.

317
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:50,000
There will be a change in your neurophysiology. There will be a change in the way your brain is functioning over and beyond the normal way that your brain would function.

318
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Skeptics charge that the rituals are fake, that the snakes are not always venomous and the strict nine is so diluted it could not be lethal.

319
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
But independent tests have shown that the venom and poison are.

320
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:15,000
They become immune to snake bite to strict nine because they've taken so much into their bodies over a period of time in small enough dosages that by the time they get to a larger dosage that would kill me,

321
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000
their bodies have been protected by the immunization process.

322
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,000
But for the devout, there is only one explanation for their immunity, faith in the power of God.

323
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:35,000
In this home video from eastern Kentucky, practitioner Grace Holland appears to drink strict nine and handle fire while in the throes of a religious ecstasy.

324
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:53,000
The most fascinating thing to me about this religion is they handle fire, they handle snakes, they drink strict nine, they get through this without being injured. It's absolutely unbelievable to me.

325
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Most of the snake churches are located in rural areas of Appalachia and the Deep South.

326
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Services aren't advertised because the use of snakes in the pulpit is outlawed in most localities.

327
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Practitioners often worship in defiance of the law or go to places where snake handling is allowed like this church in Kingston, Georgia.

328
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:22,000
If the Lord is with you, you're not afraid at all. When I get the sensation to pick up a serpent, you can feel it go right through your hands and out your feet.

329
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I mean, it's wonderful. It's a protecting spirit that you feel all about you.

330
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Religious historian David Kimbrough has researched the practices of Pentecostal snake handling churches for ten years.

331
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Snake handling is extremely dangerous. Since I've been doing my research and studying this movement since 1910, I have found 73 deaths by snake bite, five additional deaths by people drinking strict nine.

332
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:58,000
So I think that tells the story that it's a very dangerous concept when you're reaching that box. You know that you can be taken out of this world.

333
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Primarily we use copperheads and cotton mouths and rattlesnakes. Occasionally we get cobras and coil snakes too.

334
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
And the most dangerous I would say would be the rattlesnake.

335
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Obviously this is a very dangerous practice and we don't encourage nobody to do it. You know, as a matter of fact, we discourage you to do it unless you're anointed by the Spirit of God.

336
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:31,000
I'm very fearful of snakes, but when the anointing's on me, it don't bother me one bit to pick them up.

337
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,000
You ain't got the Lord in you, you better leave it alone. And it's dangerous, there's death there.

338
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Sightings presents this report as an example of the effect of altered states on some people some of the time. There have been deaths.

339
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:54,000
In fact, one of the members of the Georgia community in this report has recently died after being bitten by a rattlesnake in church.

340
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Never assume that you are safe. Never pick up a poisonous snake.

341
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Up next, a near-death experience transforms a life.

342
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000
This being of light approached me and I was told that it's the little things that we do that lead to good.

343
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:26,000
The validity of near-death experience is being challenged. Some members of the scientific community believe that the tunnel, the white light and the angelic figures are all hallucinations induced by oxygen deprivation.

344
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:38,000
But these visions are only a small part of the near-death experience. What science cannot explain away are the physical and spiritual transformations that occur after an NDE.

345
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:50,000
They claim to have walked through the invisible door between this world and the next and have glimpsed life after death.

346
00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:01,000
But before they take the final irretrievable step into oblivion, they are pulled back, pulled back for a purpose and then transformed by what is called the near-death experience.

347
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Before I had the near-death experience, I was not a good person at all.

348
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
I was fearful, materialistic.

349
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
I was a high-pressure guy after a lot of bucks.

350
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:18,000
I was just lost. I was totally depressed, totally sick, couldn't put one foot in front of the other.

351
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Sandy Green fell into a deep depression after her husband of 26 years asked for a divorce.

352
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Shortly after, she was diagnosed with cancer. It was during a radiation treatment that she had her NDE.

353
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:40,000
My angels took me out into the white light. It just pulsated with the brightest light and it was love. It was pulsating love.

354
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,000
The nice thing I remember is there was no pain.

355
00:38:44,000 --> 00:39:00,000
I received the energies and the knowledge and the help to learn how to become well if I wanted to go back and learn how to save my life and then teach others how to do it.

356
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:07,000
I would have a loving life again and boy is that powerful for a person like me who lost everything.

357
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Sandy was transformed emotionally and physically. Working with Orlando's Getting Well program, she beat her cancer.

358
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Anger stops my creativity. It actually increases my tumor markers.

359
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Her physician, Dr. Peter Goulden, has charted Sandy's remarkable recovery.

360
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,000
When we see that happen, we try to pin that down by something we've done as the profession.

361
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Was it that radiation that we gave? How about the chemotherapy, etc.

362
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:45,000
And a lot of times we don't have an adequate explanation for why things got better.

363
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
So who knows?

364
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Sandy has returned to her nursing career with a new mission. She is the founder of Hope and Recovery, a program which provides home care for cancer patients.

365
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:06,000
I try to sell them on the adventure because mine has been an adventure, not the trials and tribulations of cancer, but my adventure.

366
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Hope is believing that anything is possible.

367
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Hope was not a word in Angie Fennebor's vocabulary when she had her MDE after a failed suicide attempt.

368
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:27,000
I really had some feelings of self-doubt. I thought I was a bad mother and bad wife and I decided I was just going to end my life, but I had no other choice.

369
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Angie took an overdose of pills and slit her wrists to end the pain, but there was no comfort in death.

370
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:41,000
I started looking around for a tunnel of light like I'd heard about and there was nothing there except for darkness.

371
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000
And I heard the words, is this what you really want?

372
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:52,000
And in the time that it took for me to hear those words, this being of light approached me.

373
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,000
I was filled with truths and with pure knowledge, pure understanding of how life works.

374
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,000
And I was told that it's the little things that we do that lead to good and light in the world.

375
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:15,000
After my near-death experience, I could see clearly how I had created the problems in my life and quite easily how they could be avoided.

376
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:24,000
For Angie, the experience revealed one supreme truth that transformed her life, the overwhelming power of love.

377
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Not love in the usual personal sense, but a kind of universal love.

378
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:38,000
It's easy to understand why people speak in this way though because it's exactly that they feel filled with during their MDE and they can't help radiating it afterward.

379
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
But that's it, it's love.

380
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:49,000
It was just that love and serenity, just, I can't really, I can't put it in words what it was like, but it was beautiful.

381
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Dee Wagner was a heroin addict and an unfit mother according to the court that took her daughter away, but then Dee had an MDE.

382
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Before her near-death experience, my mom had no respect for herself.

383
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,000
She was under a partying and her drugs and her dealing and it was more like I was the parent in our relationship.

384
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:17,000
I always took care of my mom. After my mom's near-death experience, she turned into a person that's loving and caring and has respect for people and herself.

385
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:23,000
I have relationship with Tanya again and it's a pretty good relationship.

386
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:35,000
People that know me say that I'm different as night and day, made a 180 degree turn around and I'm not afraid to die, that's for sure, because I got to get a glimpse of where I would be going.

387
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:40,000
And I'm glad I have a second chance because when I do go, I'll be going clean and sober.

388
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Sandy, Angie and Dee continue to spread their message of universal love.

389
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:55,000
They believe that everyone is capable of personal transformations without having to endure a near-death experience.

392
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

393
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Thank you.

394
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Sightings
