1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
I do believe in life after death.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I've been there.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
On unexplained mysteries, dead and back again.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
13 million Americans have had some type of near-death experience.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
A soldier is shot and believes he's dead.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
I was in this dark corridor and I suddenly came into a bright white light.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Witnesses report that near-death experiences contain similar features.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
There's a sense of being separated from the physical body.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I do remember being up in the corner suddenly of this room.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
And many people are overwhelmed with a feeling of peace.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:46,000
They seem to go through this tunnel into an incredibly brilliant, warm, loving and accepting light.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The light is all around you. It is you.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
A light which some interpret as a higher power.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I was back with my creator, with God.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
A teenage boy is in a paralyzing accident.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
He believes he was saved by spiritual beings.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
A woman is trapped in her car with her children.

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Somehow, she finds the strength to survive.

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
I have this incredible feeling come through me.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
I call it my occupied love.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Survivors of near-death experiences report a greater understanding of their lives.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I had a panoramic review of my life, I've experienced I'd ever had.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
I was told that I had not completed my time on Earth.

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
The incredible account of a Canadian man who believes his life is linked to a Holocaust victim.

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
I then realized they died from suffocation because of the bodies on top of me.

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
World-famous psychic James Van Prague helps a man plagued by the death of his mother.

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
The biggest thing I would hope for is just a chance to say goodbye.

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And I loved her very much.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Van Prague reveals unexpected details when he talks to her.

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And she's telling me that she planned this whole thing.

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And she wants me to tell you that, okay?

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
She planned this.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And he gives them an important message from beyond.

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
She loves you both.

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
And she wants to thank you for helping her boy.

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And we'll wrap up all the amazing stories with our UNEX report.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
This is UNEXPREMED MISTURES.

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Dead and back again.

39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Is death the final step of your life?

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Some people say no.

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
They have met angelic beings and reviewed their lives, all after they were legally dead.

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
But they came back to tell about it.

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
A GI was seriously wounded in battle.

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000
The happened when I was 19 years old serving in Vietnam as a combat infantry soldier.

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
VandenBush was hit in the right eye and vocal cords.

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
He thought his life had come to an end.

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
And I laid down.

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
And the next thing I know, the world was gone.

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
There was no more shooting, no more noise.

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And I was in this dark corridor.

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
And I suddenly came into a bright, white light.

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
But he believes he wasn't destined to remain in the light.

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
It was like, you have to go back because you have a higher purpose.

54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
So I turned, I was back in the dark corridor.

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
And suddenly back lying on the ground in the war zone.

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I'm all going to die. It's inevitable.

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
But that doesn't frighten me.

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I have no fear of death. I know that death is peaceful.

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Experts note similar qualities in their near-death research.

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
A core near-death experience has several distinct features.

61
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
There's a sense of being separated from the physical body,

62
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
being able to look at it like a spectator would,

63
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
from an elevated position above it.

64
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
A real estate broker went into shock and his heart stopped.

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I do remember being up in the corner suddenly out of this room

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
where the doctors were.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I've really worked at trying to describe it.

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
And remember, it's not your body that's going.

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
But it is you that's going.

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
They seem to go through this tunnel

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
and they come out on the other side

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
into an incredibly brilliant and warm and loving and accepting light.

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
An artist was almost killed in a car accident.

74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
He too saw light.

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
The light is all around you. It is you.

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
It's like totally encompassing with your being.

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
If I ever get fearful in this conscious life,

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I can think back to that time and think,

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
well, it was a beautiful experience.

80
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
So what's there to be afraid of?

81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Experts claim that one does not have to be near-death

82
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
to have this sensation.

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You could be in a deep spiritual crisis.

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You could have a spontaneous out-of-body experience.

85
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
You could have this kind of experience

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
as a result of meditative practice.

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
You don't necessarily have to be physically close to death.

88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
But some experts counter that these experiences

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
are difficult to categorize.

90
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
One of the problems with some of the explanations

91
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
is they always try to explain it in terms of their specialties.

92
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Zaleski has studied concepts of death throughout the ages.

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
I think they do reflect cultural expectations,

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
cultural aspirations that go very, very deep

95
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
and go much deeper than some of the influences

96
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
that we might be exposed to in a Sunday school classroom.

97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
A high percentage of Americans believe they,

98
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
or someone they know, have had a near-death experience.

99
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
13 million Americans have had some type of near-death experience.

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
I'm just one of them.

101
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I believe that it's important to get the message out

102
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
about the near-death experience

103
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
because there's just too many people afraid of death.

104
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Near-death experiences share a similar sensation

105
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
of being out-of-body.

106
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
You're helpless. You feel helpless.

107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
For the first time in your life, you're totally helpless.

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Then I felt a tremendous sinking sensation

109
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
and then I came out of my chest

110
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
and rose up to the ceiling

111
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
and I could look down and see my body lying there on the bed.

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
And rapidly I'm pulled out of my body

113
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
and right into a dark, totally dark tunnel

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
with a sensation of speed, rapid speed.

115
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
I saw a pinpoint of light in this darkness

116
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
and I was attracted to it.

117
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
So I turned and I began to travel very rapidly

118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
towards that bright light.

119
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I was part of the light and the light was part of me.

120
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
It was not painful. It was absolutely wonderful.

121
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Witnesses say it's a profound learning experience.

122
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And I was able to ask thousands of questions,

123
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
millions of questions,

124
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
and have every one of my questions answered.

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Then to my right came a being, a being of light.

126
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And this being was there to witness or be with me.

127
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
I had a panoramic review of my life.

128
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I felt every emotion, everything I'd ever done,

129
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
every word I'd ever said,

130
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
and every experience I'd ever had

131
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
with anyone I'd ever come in contact with.

132
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
When I re-entered my body, it was like I'd been in a car crash.

133
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
I crashed back in.

134
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
It was a jolt that I felt right down to the fiber of my spine.

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000
There is absolutely no way to fully describe the beauty that is there.

136
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000
They said a good analogy would be that heaven is like the print

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
and earth would be much like the negative.

138
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Many doctors and scientists insist that near-death experiences

139
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
are caused when the brain doesn't get oxygen.

140
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
There's nothing magical about a near-death experience.

141
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
The basic themes of the near-death experience

142
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
are remarkably similar across cultures,

143
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
the reason being that the 5 billion brains that make up this planet

144
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
are remarkably similar in their structure.

145
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Dr. Persinger feels a near-death experience

146
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
could be replicated artificially

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
by subjecting the brain to low-level magnetic fields.

148
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
If you stimulate the brain with a different kind of pattern,

149
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
you make the person feel pleasurable, leaving their body.

150
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
In fact, the most common experience I've ever had

151
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000
is the feeling of being detached, feeling floating,

152
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
feeling as if there's a sense of a presence.

153
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
For those who claim near-death experiences,

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
scientific rationale comes up short.

155
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
The fact that we now understand the part of the brain

156
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
that mediates the experience does not demean the experience

157
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
and does not make it less useful or less important.

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
There are things that happen in a near-death experience

159
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
that have yet to be explained by the brain.

160
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Even though you might get a doctor to explain to me my body,

161
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
they cannot explain to me my spirit.

162
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Later on Unexplained Mysteries,

163
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
a paralyzed teen gives up hope, then has an enlightening experience.

164
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
It was very dark and lonely,

165
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000
and that was just replaced by a brilliant, brilliant light.

166
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
A family car tumbles into an icy river.

167
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The father dies,

168
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
but his wife is sure his spirit helped them survive.

169
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000
He knew that the only way that his family was going to make it

170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
was if he could be there and help us.

171
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
A farmer is convinced that a Holocaust victim

172
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
is reincarnated in his soul.

173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Without a doubt, it was not me.

174
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
It was another man.

175
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And experts agree with him.

176
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
We have many stories of people reincarnating from disasters.

177
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
A well-known psychic helps a troubled young man

178
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
by talking to his dead mother.

179
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
And your mom is here, and she's giving you both a kiss.

180
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
The emotional reunion brings up difficult memories.

181
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
And it's like she stands on that road and she looks around,

182
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
and I don't know what it means.

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Plus, we'll wrap it all up in the Unex report,

184
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
here on Unexplained Mysteries.

185
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Unexplained Mysteries.

186
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Dead and back again.

187
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
A near-death experience often leads to a new appreciation of life.

188
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Tragedy strikes a tight-knit family

189
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
when one of the boys has a terrible accident

190
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
while searching for the perfect Christmas tree.

191
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
The hill was very, very steep.

192
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
The tree was very, very tall.

193
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
And it was starting to get dark.

194
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
It was definitely, I don't know,

195
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
like I was possessed to get the tree.

196
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I didn't see any danger.

197
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Will climbed the tree to cut off the top.

198
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Then his life changed forever.

199
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
I just was enjoying the beauty

200
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
when I could feel my arms

201
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
scrambling out, trying to find branches.

202
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
But I didn't have any.

203
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
I remember hitting the ground,

204
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
but it wasn't very intense.

205
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Like you might think, it was just like jelly

206
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
spotting on the floor.

207
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
And I couldn't feel anything.

208
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Will had fallen 50 feet.

209
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Doctors were extremely concerned about his condition.

210
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Will arrived in the emergency room.

211
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
He was totally paralyzed,

212
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
although he was breathing on his own.

213
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
X-ray revealed a fracture,

214
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
dislocation of the leg,

215
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
cervical vertebrae C4 on C5.

216
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I remember doctor,

217
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
the doctor examining me

218
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
and kind of saying he had a needle

219
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
or he had a sharp, something sharp.

220
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
And he was saying,

221
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
do you feel this?

222
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
No, do you feel this?

223
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
No, do you feel this?

224
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
No.

225
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Will was flown to a hospital in Montana,

226
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
but his condition quickly got worse

227
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
as he slipped into the hospital.

228
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
When someone is totally out,

229
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
the chances of recovering

230
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,000
are as near zero as you can get.

231
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He just laid there

232
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
and kind of like he was in a trance

233
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
and I said, what's happening, Will?

234
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And he says, I'm just practicing being a vegetable.

235
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
To me, it's the most single devastating injury

236
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
that people get.

237
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
I'm not sure if it's because of the pain

238
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
that people get because they're locked inside a body,

239
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
they can't do anything.

240
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
It comes as a sudden thing in almost every instance.

241
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
If I could, I would have taken a lot.

242
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
But I couldn't, I couldn't move.

243
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
So I did the only thing I could do.

244
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
I asked my mother.

245
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
He says, if you really love me,

246
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
you'd get me out of my misery

247
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
and you'd take this pillow and put over my face.

248
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Did you just look back at me

249
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
with loving eyes

250
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
and didn't say, couldn't respond?

251
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Will gave up hope.

252
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
He didn't want to do his physical therapy.

253
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Then another accident happened.

254
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
They got me on the tilt table

255
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
and tilted me up way too fast.

256
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
And I do remember I could see the floor

257
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
for the first time in my new life.

258
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
And I could feel the blood

259
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
just running out of my head.

260
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
And the room started to give a little bit of dark

261
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
and splotchy.

262
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
And he just passed out

263
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
and the nurse couldn't get a blood pressure.

264
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
We couldn't get a heartbeat.

265
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
I wanted to die.

266
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
And all those prayers that I'd said

267
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
every night were answered.

268
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
It was very dark and lonely.

269
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And that was just replaced

270
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
by a brilliant, brilliant light

271
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
that just completely drowned the darkness

272
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
and my whole soul

273
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
was just completely immersed in this light.

274
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Will got the overwhelming feeling

275
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
the light was giving him a choice.

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
To die and go over this light

277
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
was taking me or breathe and live.

278
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
He started to turn blue.

279
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
By this time the other nurse had gotten oxygen to him.

280
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
And as I laid there consumed by this light

281
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
with the choice to make about quitting,

282
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
I thought about meeting my God

283
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
and looking at him and saying,

284
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I quit.

285
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
And I couldn't do that.

286
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And his diaphragm started taking over again

287
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
and he was breathing shallowly again.

288
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I came back and I was a different man.

289
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I could just feel my face shining.

290
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
And I just glowed.

291
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Like many people with near-death experiences,

292
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Will's outlook on life completely changed.

293
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I'm sure that there's something that occurs.

294
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
I don't think we have any scientific explanation.

295
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Before the accident,

296
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
William was very shy after his experience.

297
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
It was like the dam broke

298
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
and his whole being came out

299
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
and we got to know William at that point.

300
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
I was going to live my life.

301
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
And the doctors kept saying,

302
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
you'll never walk again, Will.

303
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
But amazingly, his condition improved little by little.

304
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
It was almost like every week we'd get a new phone call saying,

305
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
he's sat up, he's walking now, he's standing up.

306
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
What caused Will's unexpected recovery?

307
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
According to his family, the answer is prayer.

308
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
His doctors don't know what to make of it.

309
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Conventional medical wisdom would have said

310
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
that he would be totally paralyzed for life.

311
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
And I certainly would call this a miracle.

312
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Will is now walking on his own and headed to college.

313
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
He's had a chance to have his life,

314
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
to lose his life as he knows it,

315
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
and to have a back again.

316
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And that's something that very few people

317
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
give the chance to do in this life.

318
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries,

319
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
a woman is trapped in a car underwater.

320
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Does her dead husband help her survive?

321
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Some of the energy involved in his dying process

322
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
is now being aided, padded, and kicking out the window.

323
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Drowning in icy water, her son had a near-death vision.

324
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
And I started flying from this tunnel.

325
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
I went through a gate on the right,

326
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
and then I saw these flowers.

327
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Some experts believe a man killed by the Nazis

328
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000
has been reincarnated into a Canadian man's soul.

329
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000
He saw a very Jewish model of heaven.

330
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
He was there for an exclusive report on his regression hypnosis.

331
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
I feel a sharp pain in my back.

332
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
I just fall into this trench,

333
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
and you can't move because of the pain.

334
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000
A psychic helps a man who blames himself for his mother's death.

335
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
And she wants me to tell you that don't you care what others think.

336
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
She said that. It's not your fault.

337
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
We'll give you the final answers in our Unex report.

338
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000
All here on Unexplained Mysteries.

339
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Unexplained Mysteries.

340
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Dead and back again.

341
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Many people claim they've sensed the presence of a loved one,

342
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
even after they died.

343
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
The mountains of eastern Washington state.

344
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000
A family is on its way back from a ski trip.

345
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Within five minutes of leaving the ski area, we hit some black ice.

346
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000
We hit one rating, and then just get it out of control,

347
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
and hit another, and then after a few times, we went over the rating.

348
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,000
While we were airborne, it seemed like it took forever.

349
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
I had enough time to be really, really afraid.

350
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Their car flew over a guardrail,

351
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
and down 80 feet into the freezing waters of the Sky-Komish River.

352
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I realized that the car was filling up with water very, very fast.

353
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
She was trapped.

354
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Her legs and feet jammed into the engine compartment.

355
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I finally was able to pull my feet out, and I laid down on the seat,

356
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
and I put my feet up to the window and kicked.

357
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
I kicked and kicked and kicked.

358
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
I don't know how many times, but I know I had to kick a lot.

359
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
The window wouldn't break due to the immense pressure of the water against it.

360
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Patty knew she had one last kick left.

361
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
As I put my feet to the window, it seemed like I knew what to do,

362
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
and I had this incredible feeling come through me,

363
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
that the best thing I could describe is I call it liquefied love.

364
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Finally, she broke the window.

365
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
I swam out of the car and came up gasping for air holding onto the ski racks,

366
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000
and my six-year-old son came bobbing to the surface,

367
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
and I saw him floating down the river.

368
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,000
So I grabbed him and somehow got the two of us up onto the roof of the car.

369
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Patty was certain that her husband, John, was by the river, safe, but perhaps injured.

370
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
I had this strong sense of him sitting up there on the rocks,

371
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
and I knew he was okay, and I knew he was sitting there.

372
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I was mad, thinking, John, why aren't you helping me get your kids out of this car?

373
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Patty and her son still needed help.

374
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
The lights from the car made an eerie glow in the water,

375
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
and I could see Patty on top of the car.

376
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
A man appeared out of nowhere and jumped in the water and swam out to the car,

377
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
and he said, is anybody left in the car?

378
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
And I was screaming, yes, my baby, my baby, because I knew my husband was okay.

379
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Johnson dove under and tried to rescue Patty's younger son, Chris.

380
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
At first, he couldn't find Chris in the icy blackness,

381
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
but finally, he emerged with the boy's lifeless body.

382
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,000
He rolled over his head out of the water, and water came out of his mouth.

383
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000
I knew he wasn't breathing at that point for sure.

384
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
I could see my little four-year-old was dead.

385
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Johnson performed CPR on Chris.

386
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Dennis said, he's okay, he's okay, he's breathing now.

387
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He helped Patty and the boys climb up the steep slope.

388
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,000
As the shock wore off, Patty started to sense severe pain.

389
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
She had broken her back in three places, and both ankles.

390
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Then, she became aware that John was not sitting by the river.

391
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
It turned out that my husband actually was still in the car,

392
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
and I was so confused later on when I found that out,

393
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,000
because I was so sure that he was up on those rocks watching the whole thing.

394
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Paramedics got John out of the car and raced to the hospital,

395
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
but there would be no reviving him.

396
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The medical examiner declared the cause of death, drowning.

397
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
A state trooper that investigated this accident said,

398
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
it is a miracle that the three of you are alive.

399
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
You shouldn't be alive.

400
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Months later, Patty saw photos of the crash site.

401
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
She believes she now knows what happened during the accident.

402
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
I could see right above the steering wheel,

403
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,000
there was a round fracture in the windshield,

404
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
and the insurance suggestors said,

405
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
somebody's head hit that windshield.

406
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
And I said, oh my God, now I know.

407
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
I know exactly when he died.

408
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,000
His spirit departed his body when I put my feet to the window to kick the window out.

409
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Patty's back was broken.

410
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Her ankles were shattered.

411
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Yet, she managed to kick out the car window,

412
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
then climb up a steep ravine.

413
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Where did the strength come from?

414
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Perhaps her husband died,

415
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
and that some of the energy involved in his dying process

416
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
aided Patty in kicking out the window.

417
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Patty thinks her husband's spirit stayed with the family for a while longer.

418
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
At John's funeral, her son made a surprising remark.

419
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Chris pointed up to the flowers, and he said,

420
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Mom, look at those flowers.

421
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
My daddy's in those flowers.

422
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
And later, while Chris was playing his synthesizer,

423
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Patty heard a hauntingly beautiful melody.

424
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
I said, what song was that?

425
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
He said, oh, that's the music I heard in heaven.

426
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
The water started filling up in the car,

427
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
and I started flying through this tunnel.

428
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
It was a rainbow-colored tunnel.

429
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
At the end of it, there were two gates.

430
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
I went through a gate on the right,

431
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
and then I saw these flowers.

432
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Experts say Chris's account is similar to other children's.

433
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Children have extremely simple near-death experiences.

434
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
They're usually fragments of a powerful experience

435
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
that they're groping to understand.

436
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Dr. Morse believes the images that came to Patty and Chris

437
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
support his concept of a parting vision.

438
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Chris is seeing his father's face in the flowers.

439
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
It was clearly a spiritual event.

440
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Patty continued to sense that John was nearby.

441
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
There were several occasions where I was very aware

442
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
of my husband's presence after he died,

443
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
and I was very upset by those.

444
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Patty is convinced her husband helped save his family,

445
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,000
even after he died.

446
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
He knew that the only way that his family was going to make it

447
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
was if he could be there and help us.

448
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
And I was badly injured.

449
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
I couldn't have gotten those boys out of that car

450
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
without the final gift.

451
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Next on Unexplained Mysteries,

452
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000
a farmer has vivid nightmares about a past life in the Holocaust.

453
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
I couldn't connect who these people were.

454
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000
It was another man and his wife and two children.

455
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000
He subjects himself to regression hypnosis.

456
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I was nervous.

457
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
What is this going to do if it reveals things to me?

458
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Experts find proof in the details he recalls on the way to heaven.

459
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And then he says, I'm not hungry anymore.

460
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,000
And this to me again is a very authentic detail.

461
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000
A man and his wife are amazed after meeting with a famous psychic.

462
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000
He told us stuff that nobody else knew.

463
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I believe strong-leaved it.

464
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
I just held a conversation with my mom.

465
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And he'll sign all up for you in the Unex report.

466
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Stay tuned for more Unexplained Mysteries.

467
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
Unexplained Mysteries, dead and back again.

468
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Many people believe their bodies are inhabited by reincarnated souls.

469
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,000
A farmer in Nova Scotia is suddenly wracked by nightmares of the Holocaust.

470
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Without a doubt it was not me.

471
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:54,000
It was another man and his wife and two children, an older gentleman and a dog.

472
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
I couldn't connect who these people were.

473
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000
We have many stories of people reincarnating from disasters.

474
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Many people are not aware that ascetic Jews do believe in reincarnation.

475
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,000
In his dreams, Whittier saw an old clock that would prove to be significant.

476
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:15,000
It was black, tall, very quiet.

477
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
No one would find us because it was so quiet.

478
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
At the last part of the dream I was told that this clock was now in Canada.

479
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:31,000
And it could be found at a new antique shop that had opened on our Route 1, which is our main road.

480
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000
As he was on the phone telling me about this, I felt shivers go up my spine.

481
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Here was a man who had dreamed of a clock from Europe in another life

482
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
and found that clock in an antique store by following directions in the dream.

483
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000
To find out the identity of the people in his dreams,

484
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Whittier sought out a hypnotist who specialized in regression therapy.

485
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I speak direct to your subconscious mind and I'll say I want you to move back to that event.

486
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
In an exclusive session, Makadu hypnotized Whittier.

487
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Your mind is relaxed and you are beginning to feel at peace.

488
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
What is happening here today where you are?

489
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
We're reading scared.

490
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000
In his past life, Whittier claims he was a Jewish telegraph operator named Stefan Horowitz.

491
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
His family was hiding in a root cellar.

492
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
How long do you stay here?

493
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
For more than two weeks.

494
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:38,000
We went on to when he was captured by the Germans and his family was taken by trucking and by train to the camps.

495
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Then we moved to the last day of his life.

496
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:50,000
What I remember is being taken to a place outside of the camp and being taken and stood along a trench.

497
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,000
And we had no idea what was in the trench until we actually were made to stand there.

498
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,000
And when you looked down in the trench and saw the rest of the bodies, you knew what was going to happen.

499
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:07,000
And then I remember being shot through the back and falling into the pit.

500
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:18,000
It was an absolutely devastating feeling to know that you actually were being somebody else and you were being shot and you were actually dying.

501
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000
During the regression, Whittier seemed to tense as if he had actually been shot.

502
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:32,000
I then realized that I actually didn't die from being shot, that I died from suffocation because of the bodies on top of me.

503
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Move out of the body and tell me what it feels like that you're left out of the body.

504
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
There's so many people that are going up.

505
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
As you see this light, it's so bright.

506
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
There's rays of blue light that are coming.

507
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
And then he says, I'm not hungry anymore.

508
00:27:51,000 --> 00:28:04,000
And this to me again is a very authentic detail because the immediate realization as he enters the gates of heaven is that he's no longer hungry and he's no longer cold.

509
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000
And if he were making up the story, that would not likely be the first thing you would say upon being in the gates of heaven.

510
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Whittier says he saw blue light and that surprised him.

511
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,000
In this life, he had read in books, etc., that it should be a white light. It should be a yellow light.

512
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Well, in Jewish mystical tradition, the light is a blue light.

513
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:31,000
And considering that his own background is Christian, he didn't see angels with harps, he didn't see Jesus.

514
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:39,000
He saw what I believe Stefan Horwitz would have expected to see, a very Jewish model of heaven.

515
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Rabbi Gershom has a theory about Holocaust reincarnation.

516
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:59,000
What I believe happened in the Holocaust is that so many Jews were killed at once and entire family lines were destroyed that these people could not come back in their own village or their own family line.

517
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
So they sought out the nearest body they could find.

518
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Whittier was plagued with questions until he was hypnotized.

519
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
I now have a real sense of peace.

520
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,000
And what about the clock that Whittier had such strong images about in his dreams?

521
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
It's my belief that it was the will of God that he have this clock returned to him.

522
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Now, the clock itself was a very expensive antique that Bruce could not afford to buy.

523
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:35,000
And as I began to tell the story in conferences around the country, people began to pass the hat and collect money to ransom the clock.

524
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,000
And so the clock now sits in Bruce's home.

525
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:51,000
It certainly has increased my belief in the spirit world and without their help and the guides and those that are dealing with us on the other side, that there was no way that the clock would arrive.

526
00:29:51,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Rabbi Gershom believes there is a powerful reason why Bruce Whittier and people like him experience reincarnation visions.

527
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Jewish culture has survived. The Nazis did not succeed in destroying that.

528
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:17,000
And so those who still have pain from that other life can find much healing in finding out what it was that they gave their lives to preserve.

529
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries, psychic James Van Progg helps a man speak to his dead mother.

530
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
She's trying to make up for not being there for you when she was alive and she's with you with the kids.

531
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Van Progg's dramatic revelations about her death affect the man deeply.

532
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Don't you care what others think. It's not your fault.

533
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:44,000
And you'll get the ultimate summary with the Unexplained Mysteries.

534
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Unexplained Mysteries, dead and back again.

535
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Some people believe that psychics can communicate with spirits of the dead.

536
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Kevin Boss was riding with his mother on a lonely highway. Suddenly a plane came out of the sky attempting an emergency landing.

537
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
His mother was decapitated by its wing.

538
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000
If she wouldn't have pushed me down, the wing would have hit me first. She literally saved my life.

539
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Since that time, his life has been in turmoil, full of drug and alcohol abuse.

540
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
I'm running from the pain.

541
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Kevin believes that if only he could talk to his mother one more time, everything would be alright.

542
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So his wife, Dina, contacted James Van Progg, a clairvoyant who's renowned for helping people contact loved ones who've died.

543
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
I think everybody is born with intuition. Everybody's psychic from one degree or another.

544
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,000
But there are those people that are born with maybe a little bit more sensitivity than most.

545
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
And if that can be developed and harnessed, then you have results as far as what I'm able to do.

546
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Kevin and Dina have high hopes for the session.

547
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
The biggest thing I would hope for is just a chance to say goodbye.

548
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
And I loved her very much.

549
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:25,000
I want to be able to start from today on new and have Kevin be whole.

550
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,000
The session began. Van Progg sensed the presence of Kevin's dead mother.

551
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Our first impression I get is a lady standing right next to you. And I do feel it's a mother figure.

552
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
I do feel this energy.

553
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
And your mom is here and she's giving you both a kiss.

554
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
And she's telling me that she planned this whole thing.

555
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
And she wants me to tell you that. She planned this.

556
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000
And she's giving love to the babies.

557
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
And I don't know what she's talking about, but she's talking about the babies of babies.

558
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Yes, right, your babies.

559
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
And she's telling me, now you might find this very funny,

560
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
but she's telling me you're going to have another baby.

561
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Has it been talked about to having another child?

562
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Yes.

563
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000
And one of the baby's names. Is it named after her?

564
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Yes.

565
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Her middle name. Because she said the baby's name is something about the name there.

566
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
She was mentioning the name after. And she wants to thank you for this, right?

567
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000
And she protects the babies. She protects them. She does protect them.

568
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Okay, yeah, go on.

569
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Van Progg surprises the couple by telling them something very personal about their family.

570
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Yes. And I'm also picking up, I'm being shown by your mom a necklace.

571
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,000
A necklace. And I don't know if it's a heart on the necklace, but it's something with a necklace.

572
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
And who has a necklace, please?

573
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Her, his cousin does.

574
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Your cousin?

575
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,000
And his cousin is supposed to get it.

576
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
And it's supposed to get the necklace of hers. Thank you.

577
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
It's your mother's necklace. And she wants you to have it because she wants you to give it to her granddaughter.

578
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Granddaughter, she's talking about. Okay?

579
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
And go on.

580
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
She's showing me a field, and I don't know why she's showing me a field.

581
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,000
I'm seeing a farm, or I'm seeing a country road, and I'm seeing this.

582
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,000
And it's like she stands on that road and she looks around, and I don't know what it means.

583
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Do you have, do you know what she's talking about?

584
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000
That's where the accident was.

585
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
That's where the accident was. Okay.

586
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,000
It looks like it's very rural.

587
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Is it rural area?

588
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Because it looks very rural to me.

589
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Right. Okay.

590
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Yes. And it's hard for you to go down that road, you understand?

591
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
So it's very hard to go down that road.

592
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Okay.

593
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Then Van Progg gave Kevin the information he needed to hear.

594
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
And she wants me to tell you that don't you care what others think.

595
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Don't you care what the others think.

596
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
They blame you, you know?

597
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
They blamed him. They blamed him for her death.

598
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,000
They blamed you. And it's not your fault.

599
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Do you understand that? It's not your fault.

600
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
So please be aware of that.

601
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
She said that. It's not your fault.

602
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000
I love you both. She loves you both.

603
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
And she wants to thank you for helping her boy.

604
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
You've helped him a great deal, Dina.

605
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
You've helped him in his life.

606
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
You've helped him in his life.

607
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Van Progg relayed a message from Kevin's mother to help him move on.

608
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000
It's almost as if she wants you to get yourself going or, you know, get yourself going.

609
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
And she's lovely. She loves you.

610
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
And she's said in a very loving way.

611
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
But she says, it's time to grow up, you understand?

612
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
It's time to grow up.

613
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
And, you know, you've had a hard life.

614
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
But she says, you can do it. You can do it.

615
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
And you said, you can do it.

616
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Yes. Happy with you.

617
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
She's proud of you, mom.

618
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
You're mom's very proud and happy with you.

619
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
And she loves you very, very much.

620
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
You make your mom proud.

621
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
She says, you make your mom proud.

622
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
You make your mom proud.

623
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
And she's so funny. She's toasting you.

624
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
She's toasting you.

625
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
None of them make sense to you, but I see her toasting you.

626
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Oh, yeah.

627
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Does that make sense with her character?

628
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Because that's what I'm seeing.

629
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Yes, very much so.

630
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
She is a very honest person.

631
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
She wants me to give this to you.

632
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
She wants me to give you this that she's around you

633
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
and she's trying to make up,

634
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
but not being there for you when she was alive.

635
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And she's with you, with the kids.

636
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Yes, very much.

637
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Any other question you'd like to ask?

638
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
I'd just like to tell her I love her.

639
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,000
I thank her.

640
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
I really thank her.

641
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Yes. Good. Thank you very much.

642
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
She wants to thank you, mom.

643
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
I love you. She loves you both.

644
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Okay.

645
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Thank you, God.

646
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
You okay?

647
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Yeah.

648
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Yeah, I'm great.

649
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Okay.

650
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I'm the radio.

651
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
And, you know, one day the radio might be working really well

652
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
and other days it might be hard to hear.

653
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
So I never take it for granted.

654
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Kevin was profoundly affected by

655
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Van Prog's psychic abilities.

656
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
He told us stuff that nobody else would have heard.

657
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,000
He told us stuff that nobody else would have heard.

658
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,000
He told us stuff that nobody else would have heard.

659
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,000
He told us stuff that nobody else knew.

660
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
And there was no way he could have found out, you know?

661
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And there was no way he could have found out, you know?

662
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,000
So without a doubt,

663
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
I believe strongly that I just held a conversation

664
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
with my mom.

665
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
I felt this way completely leave him.

666
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
I felt this way completely leave him.

667
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
That happens when there's a little more

668
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
more self-confidence there.

669
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
There's a little more love there.

670
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,000
I think that he had closure.

671
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
And I think it has changed his way of looking at life.

672
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Coming up on

673
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Unexplained Mysteries,

674
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
The Unex Report,

675
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
What happens when the dead come back again?

676
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
What happens when the dead come back again?

677
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Is there life after death?

678
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Can a soul walk the earth after the body is gone?

679
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Can a soul walk the earth after the body is gone?

680
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Do these spirits communicate with the living?

681
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Do these spirits communicate with the living?

682
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
We'll dig deeper for the answers.

683
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Next on The Unex Report.

684
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
And now, The Unex Report.

685
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Millions of people

686
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
claim they have had an illuminating near-death experience.

687
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
I was part of the light

688
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
and the light was part of me.

689
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
It was absolutely wonderful.

690
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
I had a panoramic review of my life.

691
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Everything I'd ever done.

692
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
And I was able to ask

693
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
thousands of questions

694
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
and have it all.

695
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
I had a panoramic review of my life.

696
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Everything I'd ever done.

697
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
And I was able to ask

698
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
thousands of questions

699
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
and have every one of my questions answered.

700
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
A wounded soldier

701
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
was certain he was going to die

702
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
on a battlefield in Vietnam.

703
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
And the next thing I know,

704
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
the world was gone.

705
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
And I suddenly came into a bright, white light.

706
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
An artist lived through a car crash,

707
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
but no longer fears death.

708
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
That was as close as I ever

709
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
get to death.

710
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
It was really, really pleasurable.

711
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
We're not afraid to die.

712
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
We're not afraid to live.

713
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
A paralyzed boy regains his will to live

714
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
after he stops breathing.

715
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
I came back.

716
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
I could just feel my face

717
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
shiny.

718
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Did a dead man's spirit rescue his wife

719
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
from a car trapped underwater?

720
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
I had this strong sense

721
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
of him sitting up there on the rocks.

722
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
And her drowning son

723
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
had a near-death vision of his own.

724
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
I started flying through this tunnel.

725
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
And then I saw these flowers.

726
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
A man dreams that the reincarnated soul

727
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000
of a Nazi victim

728
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
resides in his body.

729
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
What I remember is being taken

730
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
to a place outside of the camp

731
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
and stood along a trench.

732
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
To one scholar,

733
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
this account confirms an important

734
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
tenet of his religion.

735
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Many people are not aware

736
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
that cascetic Jews do believe in reincarnation.

737
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
A famous psychic

738
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
helps a young man get in touch

739
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
with his dead mother.

740
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
The first impression I get

741
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
is a lady standing right next to you.

742
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
And I do feel it's a mother figure.

743
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
He reveals possible events from the future.

744
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
And she's telling me

745
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
now you might find this very funny,

746
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
but she's telling me you're going to have another baby.

747
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
And helps him to deal with his past.

748
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
They blamed him

749
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
for her death. They blamed you.

750
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
And it's not your fault.

751
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Understand that? It's not your fault.

752
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Many doctors and scientists agree

753
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
that near-death experiences

754
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
are found.

755
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
I don't think we have any scientific explanation.

756
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
But are they spiritual events?

757
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Researchers disagree.

758
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
There's nothing magical about

759
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
near-death experience.

760
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
I think they do reflect cultural expectations,

761
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
cultural aspirations.

762
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
The internet provides information

763
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
for those who've had near-death experiences.

764
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Resources such as

765
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
James Van Progg's website.

766
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
It's a great community and many people

767
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
have been helped on that website.

768
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
And that's what it's about.

769
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
It's about helping one another, helping each other.

770
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
We're all here together.

771
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
The near-death experience, for many,

772
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
it has changed their lives.

773
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Is it a glimpse into the beyond?

774
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Or a biochemical response?

775
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Whichever it is,

776
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
there seems to be no doubt about its powerful effect.

777
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
But the final answers

778
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
to these questions

779
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
must remain an unexplained mystery.

780
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Death is the last great mystery.

781
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
It's not a free ride.

782
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
But we're all going to take the trips.
