1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
on all available information.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Tonight on Sightings,

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
many thought the mystery of the English crop circles was a hoax,

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
but our ongoing investigation has uncovered startling evidence

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
that may prove extraterrestrial contact.

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
This intelligence is almost certain that not human.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Then, what sinister spell has cursed the British royalty for 600 years?

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
We uncover the royal curse tonight.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Music

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Since the early 1980s,

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
over 2,000 crop circle formations have been discovered in 30 countries,

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
and new ones are being reported every month.

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Theories about where they come from range from weather anomalies,

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
to extraterrestrials, to crazed hedgehogs doing a mating dance.

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Well, obviously some theories are more credible than others,

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
but the fact remains that something is happening in fields around the world

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
that no one can fully explain.

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Music

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The stories of unexplained designs appearing mostly in the farm fields of England

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
hit an all-time high in 1990.

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
News media from around the world were quick to hail these enigmatic circles and lines

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
as the strangest scientific discovery of the 20th century,

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
for a brief period, crop circles became the darling of popular culture.

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
But then, two hoaxes stepped forward to claim that they had created the crop circles,

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
and just as quickly as the phenomenon began, the media dropped the crop circle story.

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
The hoax theory stuck, and soon the only people still interested were hardcore theorists and scientists.

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Initially, these were simple single circles, but in 1990,

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
the patterns became much more complex, dramatically so,

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
and blew right out of the water some of the early theories.

31
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
The early formations were the size of a domestic room.

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Now you have formation which are almost the size of Central Park,

33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:39,000
so that we have enormous growth, both in complexity and in size and in numbers.

34
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Michael Green is an archaeologist and architecture historian,

35
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
who is also one of the founding members of the Center for Crop Circle Studies.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
We're not a religious cult, we're not a strange, wacky branch of the UFO movement.

37
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000
We are trying to use rational means to establish what's going on.

38
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,000
And the first thing we learnt, and this year in particular, is that there are a few hoaxes.

39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:15,000
I'm Dave Chorley, this is Doug Burr, and we are the two people that have created the crop circles in 1978,

40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
through to the day.

41
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
The most impressive thing to me, and the reason why I actually stopped and listened to what they had to say,

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
was not really what they told me, but what they did in the field,

43
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
because when they did the demonstration out in Sussex at Chilgrove,

44
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
the formation itself was quite messy, but it was amazing how quickly it happened.

45
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000
In 45, 40, 45 minutes, this huge formation was laid down,

46
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
and that's even accounting for the fact that half the world's press were trumping around it as well,

47
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
with them asking them for interviews at the same time.

48
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
But Doug and Dave had only done a few of the hundreds of cycles that had been done,

49
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,000
and from the evidence, their public demonstrations in broad daylight, they weren't very good at it.

50
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
But no one really knew what hoaxes could do and what they couldn't do.

51
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
And so I thought, well, here's an ideal opportunity for a scientific experiment,

52
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
and the best way to do it is through a competition.

53
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Biologist and author Rupert Sheldrake did organize a competition held earlier this year.

54
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
The challenge was to see if anyone could create crop circles that could not be identified as hoaxes.

55
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
The circles were made at night, and the next day, the contest winners demonstrated their techniques.

56
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000
What we found was that the standard of artificial circle making was much higher than most people had expected.

57
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
These people could do very well.

58
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:47,000
The standard was very high indeed, and the most surprising thing was that people could do all this in complete darkness,

59
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
making very little noise.

60
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I flew the site the next day, and the aerial pictures that we took show some of the centers of these formations

61
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
displaying exactly the characteristics that the genuine circles have displayed,

62
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
and exactly the characteristics that many of the experts have said couldn't be done by people.

63
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Things like making rings without having a hole in the center where somebody stands,

64
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
things like producing a radial effect where the crop splays out from a central point,

65
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
and the team that won and the team that came second and third produced really marvelous formations which the judges were very impressed by.

66
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
So what they show is that many of the features of crop circles could be hoaxes,

67
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:43,000
but they don't show that they are hoaxes, and I mean the analogy that I find most helpful is the fact

68
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000
the fact you can forge a $20 bill doesn't prove that all $20 bills of forger is.

69
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:58,000
The first and primary feature which is evident in the genuine phenomenon and not in the hoaxes is the spiraling fingerprint.

70
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Colin Andrews heads up the Circles Phenomenon Research Group in Bramford, Connecticut.

71
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,000
He has co-authored two books on crop circles and is believed to have visited more actual crop circle sites than any other researcher.

72
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,000
This particular screen shows clearly the difference between the fingerprint, this is the print at the top here,

73
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,000
the genuine phenomenon, the real phenomenon, and all of those hoaxes which we are hearing so much about these days.

74
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Andrews believes that the most important patterns to be studied are those where the flow of the crops

75
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,000
changes direction within a single circle. A pattern no human has yet been able to duplicate in public.

76
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I think the single most convincing argument for a real phenomenon and against the hoax are the effects that the phenomenon

77
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:57,000
are having upon the plants themselves. Dr. Levingood, a well-known physicist in the United States, has discovered

78
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,000
that the changes in the structure of the plants themselves and cell structure of the plants, molecular structure of the plants, on a number of continents.

79
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000
When a formation hits, it just knocks the heck out of the embryo. They don't grow. The seeds don't develop.

80
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Dr. Levingood has discovered that the cell structure of the crops within a formation are distinctly different from undisturbed crops nearby

81
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
and that this new cell structure seriously alters the crops growth.

82
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Let me get this straight. A plant that is in a formation undergoes an internal change so that seeds taken from that plant grow a different kind of plant or an altered plant.

83
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Altered in both the growth rate and the germination. In some cases it increases quite significantly.

84
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Some people maintain that hoaxes created not only some but all of these formations. You buy that?

85
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Oh God, no. No, this is all ridiculous. No. If they had that kind of energy, they wouldn't be wasting it out in the field making impressions in a crop.

86
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
It would be a new kind of energy distribution, let's say, that I have never heard of.

87
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Mathematician Gerald Hawkins is another scientist with an intriguing theory.

88
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Professor Hawkins made his mark in the 1950s when he came up with an explanation for Stonehenge still accepted today.

89
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Now Hawkins has devised a mathematical formula relating the crop circles to the notes of a musical scale.

90
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Help us understand that. You're not suggesting that because there's a relationship between the ratios of the crop circles and the ratios of musical tones that you can somehow play the crop circles.

91
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,000
I'm not saying that the crop circles are musical. I'm saying that they follow the same mathematical law as the major diatonic scale.

92
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,000
There's no natural physical process that we know will generate the diatonic scale, which is of course the white notes on the piano.

93
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Therefore the only theory that we can put forward is that it's done by human beings. It's all a hoax.

94
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,000
But they're clever hoaxes and if it's not a hoax, then we have a major scientific problem on our hands.

95
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Professor Hawkins has studied the ratios of the sizes of crop circles and found the same ratios between notes and the diatonic scale.

96
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,000
If the music doesn't seem listenable, then it seems to imply there's something beyond music being communicated here.

97
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Yes, it could be a copyright insignia of the primary hoaxes or the crop circle makers and perhaps they may use this later for further information transmission.

98
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
But I'm not going to predict what crop circle makers will do next.

99
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Dr. Hawkins, you're implying that if even one of the crop circles is not the work of the hoax team, that science will have to rethink everything?

100
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
I'm afraid so.

101
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
You only need one in this case and you have a mystery.

102
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:03,000
What of course stands out clearly now is that we have the uncomfortable fact that this intelligence is almost certain that not human.

103
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:09,000
And this is where people will come extremely nervous. The media becomes very nervous. The press becomes extremely nervous.

104
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
They don't like mysteries like this.

105
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:27,000
One of the reasons that some thinkers have thought might be behind this is the position of the earth in terms of the terrible damage that is being done by man.

106
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Could we be dealing with something which is trying to warn us?

107
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Either it's very skillful hoaxes with a tremendous sense of humor or it's some non-human intelligence that's completely off the scale of anything that we've contemplated so far.

108
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:57,000
But if they are communications of guia or nature or aliens or whatever, if they're communications of some kind from a non-human source, it's not quite clear what they're saying.

109
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,000
But their main message so far seems to be watch this space.

110
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Are we any closer today to unraveling the mystery of what or who created the crop circles?

111
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Joining me now is George Wingfield, director of field research and founding member of the Center for Crop Circle Studies in London, England.

112
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
George, welcome to sightings.

113
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Hello Tim.

114
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The crop circles have changed over the years. The shapes have changed, the number have changed.

115
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Have you learned anything from those directions?

116
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,000
There's no doubt at all that these are of some sort of intelligent origin and this appears to be non-human.

117
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000
What do the circles seem to be leading toward?

118
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:49,000
I think they are leading us towards an understanding of some other level of intelligence which is not human.

119
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Do you believe George that the crop circles are an ancient phenomenon that they've always been there, they just haven't been accounted for by modern means?

120
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:05,000
No, I don't think so. I don't think so at all. I think the crop circles started appearing in quite recent times, probably less than 30 years ago.

121
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
There may have been a few before that, but very, very few.

122
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:16,000
For you, do the crop circles inspire hope or fear or merely curiosity?

123
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Well, certainly inspire hope. I believe whatever is causing the circles is something which is benign.

124
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000
I don't believe there's anything hostile or evil here, which is what some people would have you believe.

125
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
George Winfield, thank you very much.

126
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Thank you Tim.

127
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000
And we'll be back with more sightings in just a moment.

128
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Coming up next, what sinister spell has cursed the royal family for 600 years?

129
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
You can't escape it.

130
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
We reveal the secrets of the royal curse. Next.

131
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:00,000

00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Just because you go all out?

143
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
It doesn't mean you got to stink.

144
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Now if you're wearing this, and here comes your chance to prove it.

145
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
You will, because Old Spice works. Man does it work.

146

Price Latinus kills bacteria. To prove?

147
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Hey, hot shot.

148
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
You're looking at her.

149
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Old Spice Addie Perspirant for great odor protection.

150
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
New demand proved, not promises.

151
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Saturday.

152
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
I'm going to the beach.

153
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Experience the terror of a drive-by shooting.

154
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
28 rounds, we're fired in the house.

155
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Cops in Denver at all new episodes Saturday.

156
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
It's not a night at the opera, but a perfect body slam can be a beautiful fail.

157
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Saturday night's main event right after Cops Saturday on Fox.

158
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
In the past two years, Britain's royal family has endured an unprecedented amount of scrutiny and negative press.

159
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And some people are not surprised, because they believe the House of Windsor is suffering under an ancient curse.

160
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Are the Windsor curse, and the current royal troubles just coincidence?

161
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Or can a curse really create scandal, hardship, and even death?

162
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
A curse is one of the most ancient forms of ritual still surviving today.

163
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000
It can be an elaborate spell, or hasty words.

164
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
King Tut's tomb was believed to be cursed, and some of those who entered it did die under unusual circumstances.

165
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
The Hope Diamond, the largest in the world, is also thought to carry a curse.

166
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000
But can people really be harmed by something that many believe is merely superstition?

167
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
A curse is magic, black magic.

168
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
That is a negative wish that can be made by word of mouth.

169
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
By saying something that can harm somebody.

170
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Anybody can be victimized. Anybody is vulnerable.

171
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Throughout this century, Britain's royal family has been the object of scandal and tragedy.

172
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
From the abdication of Edward VIII to the bloody terrorist attack that killed Prince Charles' favorite uncle.

173
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Recent revelations about Princess Diana's unhappy marriage, and Fergie's impending divorce from Prince Andrew,

174
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:54,000
are just the latest misfortunes that some believe are caused by a little-known royal curse.

175
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:03,000
If such a curse exists, could it explain why, for the first time, the role of the whole British monarchy has been questioned, and some are even calling for its end?

176
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:12,000
In 1986, speculation arose that the personal and public misfortunes of the House of Windsor were due to a century's old curse.

177
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
It was believed to have first taken its toll on the Queen Mother's family in the early 19th century, at their ancestral home in Scotland.

178
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Rumors about the cursed surface after it was revealed that two nieces of the Queen Mother, thought to be dead, had actually been hidden away in a metal hospital for over 40 years.

179
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,000
The nieces, Narissa and Catherine Bows-Liam, are also first cousins to Queen Elizabeth, who is a direct descendant of the Bows-Liam family.

180
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:48,000
The fact is that the Queen has an enormous number of cousins, and if you looked through the list of them all, you would find all sorts of unfortunate characters.

181
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:56,000
So too, there were two nieces of the Queen Mother, who it was understood and published that they had died many years ago.

182
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
And what happened was that they were born mentally deficient.

183
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000
What actually happened in 1986 was that both these women were alive and well at this stage.

184
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000
It is not known whether or not the Queen Mother knew about their existence.

185
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:22,000
It was a scandal at the time because it left a tarnished image on the woman that was otherwise known as the nation's favourite granny.

186
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:30,000
The origin of the royal curse is believed to date back to the 17th century and Glombs Castle in northeastern Scotland.

187
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Glombs is the ancestral home of the Bows-Liam family.

188
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Here in the 1600s, the Lord of Glombs Castle made an error in judgement that many believe the current royal family is still paying for.

189
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:50,000
One of these stories is a result of the feud that existed between the Ogilve and the Lindsay family.

190
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,000
The story says that a group of Ogilves were fleeing from the Lindsays and came to Glombs and asked for shelter.

191
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:06,000
The story says that what he did was to give them shelter in a small room in the thickness of the wall.

192
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:13,000
But then he closed them in and eventually that room was walled up and of course they died a terrible death.

193
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
The Ogilves were entombed in Glombs Castle for over 100 years.

194
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
When their chamber was finally opened in the 1700s, a grisly discovery was made.

195
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:29,000
They had been so desperately hungry before they died that they'd even got to the stage of eating their own limbs.

196
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000
At least one of the skeletons had his teeth around his forearm.

197
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Some believe that when the wall came down, a curse was let loose upon the residents of the castle,

198
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000
a curse conjured up by the murdered members of the Ogilve clan.

199
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:50,000
The first manifestation of the curse is thought to have occurred in 1821 with the birth of the then Earl's firstborn son,

200
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Thomas Bowslion, the great great great uncle of Queen Elizabeth.

201
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:00,000
He was a, if you like, a hybrid between Cosimodo and Phantom of the Opera.

202
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
His entire body was covered with hair, almost like an ape.

203
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
He had no arms, very small arms and very small legs.

204
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:18,000
And when his father, the 11th Earl, saw his son and heir, he was so horrified that he banished him from his sight.

205
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
And the story even goes that he lived to be 100 years old, which would mean that he was still alive in 1921.

206
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:31,000
There is a sort of infamous story about the Glombs monster, but frankly, I don't know anything about it.

207
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
I mean, as far as we are concerned here at Glombs, it simply never happened.

208
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
The curse of Glombs Castle has never been openly discussed by the royal family.

209
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Any discussion about the curse is vigorously denied by anyone employed by the family.

210
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Family take very strong exceptions to that particular story.

211
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,000
And again, as far as their concern, it's a little rubbish.

212
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
It is interesting that it's the way to get a very, very frosty royal look,

213
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
as if you mention this monster and any story about it in the presence of the Queen Mother or any of her immediate family.

214
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,000
They've never actually commented on the story on the record.

215
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:20,000
But when the Queen Mother's biographer, James Wentworth Day, went to interview Countess Grandvill, the Queen Mother's sister,

216
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:29,000
in 1967, shortly before her death, she simply turned around and said that she was never allowed to discuss this.

217
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And her father and grandfather had point blank the band them from discussing it.

218
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:46,000
If a society is strongly believing that curse can affect you, then it must, by its very nature, affect.

219
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
You can't escape it, you give in.

220
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Will the curse ever end for the royal family?

221
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Or are they destined to eternal tragedy because of the murderous act of one of the Queen Mother's misguided ancestors?

222
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Some historians suggest yet another possible reason for the royal curse.

223
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:12,000
At Glom's Castle in 1537, Lady Glom's, the beautiful widow of the 6th Earl, was accused of being a witch.

224
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:19,000
She was burned alive, and ever since her death, strange supernatural phenomena have plagued the castle.

225
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Coming up next, does the cousin of the Loch Ness monster lurk in the depths of Lake Champlain?

226
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Swings his entire body around and lifts his neck and head out of the water entirely.

227
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,000
I've got the worst cold a human being ever had. I've got a major presentation tomorrow. I've got a rest and I'm out of Nyquil.

228
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:46,000
I could take these, but I'd still be up all night coughing, which means I'd be erect for the presentation,

229
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,000
which means I could get fired. But what am I going to do? Go next door like an idiot and ask,

230
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
could I borrow a cup of Nyquil?

231
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Once you know what Nyquil can do, nothing else will do.

232
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
With its V6 engine, smooth, quiet ride, and easy front wheel drive handling,

233
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000
the newest Mercury will, quite frankly, remind you of some cars you've driven before.

234
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
That's what makes it so different.

235
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Introducing Mercury Villager.

236
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000
If it was just another mini-bed, it wouldn't be a Mercury.

237
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000
All this and the quality of a Mercury.

238
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I could tell something was wrong the minute I saw him coughing. Poor Timmy. He was coming down with a cold.

239
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
I'll be right out. You can get me a tissue.

240
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Mom, could you give us some Vapor Rub too?

241
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:53,000
So I rub Vix Vapor Rub on his chest and his neck. The penetrating vapors work fast to relieve his cough and nasal congestion.

242
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
So the next morning...

243
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Hey, hey, hey, hey, look who's out!

244
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Vix Vapor Rub, breathe the vapors, breathe the relief.

245
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Tonight, LA Law's Corbin Bernsen is a famous psychic. Make that ex-psychic.

246
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
It's easy to foresee somebody's death if you're the killer.

247
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
You and Lieutenant Marshak are on a case so mystifying.

248
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
This is a clue!

249
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Only a mind reader could predict the outcome.

250
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
All new likely suspects next.

251
00:23:37,000 --> 00:24:03,000
On a recent special edition of sightings, we reported on Operation Deep Scan, the latest scientific search for proof of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.

252
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Now an update on the findings of Operation Deep Scan and information about a lake monster sighted right here in the United States.

253
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Operation, the most comprehensive and sophisticated search of Loch Ness to date, did come up with an important new sighting.

254
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Using sonar, an unexplained creature of large proportions was tracked through the murky lake for more than two miles.

255
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Sightings of a similar nature have also occurred in Lake Champlain along the New York-Vermont border.

256
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Recently increased attention has been focused on the lake after three separate eyewitnesses captured video of what they believe is champ, the Loch Ness Monster's American cousin.

257
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,000
It was huge black matter, just monster. It was scary, it was that big.

258
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Up came the neck and the head, literally like my hand is doing. It turned and it looked at me and it turned and it went right back down into the water.

259
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
He swings his neck around and lifts his tail up, swings his entire body around and lifts his neck and head out of the water entirely.

260
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Does a loop and a whole big arch like this and the water and tives back in.

261
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:16,000
A sighting's investigative team is currently monitoring Lake Champlain. We'll bring you a full updated report of our findings in the coming weeks.

262
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Input from viewers is an important part of our sighting's investigations. If you videotape or photograph what you believe to be paranormal activity, our sighting's investigative team wants to know about it.

263
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:41,000
To report your sightings, call the sighting's hotline at 1900 740 SITE. That's 1900 740 S-I-T-E. Each call 75 cents a minute, average call less 2 minutes and you must be 18 years or older.

264
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Again, the sighting's hotline is 1900 740 7483.

265
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:56,000
You're just in time. If you hurry to Red Lobster, you can get one of our three new trios. Enjoy it.

266
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Thank you.

267
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Like our seafood trio, sweet snow crabs, shrimp, scampi and broiled fish, it's just 9.99. So good!

268
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:18,000
We've also got a big new shrimp trio and a new mixed grill. Three trios you'll love for just 9.99. So hurry in for something great. Tonight at Red Lobster.

269
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Forget about tug of war with your pantyhose.

270
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Nothing's more fitting than legs, classics.

271
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Cleaning totes is a lousy job, so I invented 2000 flushes blue to help you.

272
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000
It's loaded with deterges, cleans and deodorizes automatically.

273
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Up to four months, try my 2000 flushes blue. Clean your toilet with every flush.

274
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Ah Jeff, not feeling good, huh?

275
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
When Jeffery catches a cold, we see the pediatrician.

276
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
I love my pediatrician. He's my dad.

277
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
He recommends dimetap elixir.

278
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Doctors have recommended the dimetap brand over 200 million times. It relieves sneezing, nasal congestion, runny noses.

279
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And Jeffery really likes the grape taste.

280
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Doctors recommend dimetap for their families and yours.

281
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
We have a live-in doctor. He recommends dimetap elixir.

282
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:26,000
On the next sightings from the newly accessible Russian Republic startling eyewitness evidence of bizarre extraterrestrial contact.

283
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,000
And then a special update on the Iceman. What ancient secrets has he revealed on the next sightings?

284
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Join us next time for new investigations into the unexplained.

285
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

286
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,000
The world's top wrestlers battle for championship gold on Saturday night's main event right after cops.

287
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
It's a night of crime and punishment, hosted by Al Bundy tomorrow.

288
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Coming up, a renowned psychic is murdered. Who did it? And why didn't he see it coming?

289
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Everything you need for the holidays, all you have to do is add the relatives.

290
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Save room for Grandma's pie.

291
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I'll have you with a photo piece, Martha.

292
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Why, thank you, Rony.

293
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Okay, everybody sing. Over the river, left through the woods, to Grandma's pie.

294
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Santa's little helpers are shining up some holiday specials at Hayes Mitsubishi.

295
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:24,000
That's right, Santa. How would you like to have this beautiful new 93 clips as an early present this holiday season?

296
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:33,000
At Hayes Mitsubishi, we're making it easy. For only 97, 88, and nothing down, it can be your special holiday gift to yourself.

297
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Hayes Mitsubishi does it right.

298
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
We'll donate $25 for every new car sold to Tennessee's children in foster care.
