1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,560
This program is about unsolved mysteries.

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,160
Whenever possible, the actual family members and police

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,160
officials have participated in recreating the events.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,560
What you are about to see is not a news broadcast.

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,840
Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries, four eerie tales

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,320
for all Hallows' Eve.

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,120
The legend of a gray man.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,440
For more than a century, this solitary ghost

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,960
has wandered the sand dunes of a tiny island in South Carolina.

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,320
Some residents claim that his ghostly appearance

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,920
has protected their homes from the fury of Hurricane Hugo.

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,560
Halloween 1988, 29-year-old David Stone

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,480
embarked on a bizarre spiritual journey

14
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,560
across the New Mexico desert.

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720
He left behind a trail of baffling clues

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,960
and then mysteriously vanished.

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,200
Eyewitnesses claim that this woman possesses

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,840
remarkable psychic abilities, both mental and physical,

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,400
an extraordinary case of paranormal powers

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,200
or a brilliant deception.

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,080
We'll also bring you an intriguing update

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,040
on last season's story about reincarnation.

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,120
Can we truly experience a past life or is it all in the mind?

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Join me, it's Halloween night on Unsolved Mysteries.

25
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,960
The Story of the Ghost

26
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,880
Traditionally in Halloween ghost stories,

27
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,800
ghosts are described as frightening entities.

28
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,800
But on a tiny island in South Carolina,

29
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,720
they tell of a very different kind of spirit.

30
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Over the last 170 years, five deadly hurricanes

31
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,000
have ripped through Pauley's Island.

32
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,080
Every single one of these storms have been accompanied

33
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,920
by a local sighting of a ghost known as the Gray Man.

34
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:32,560
In a bizarre coincidence, apparently

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,360
every person who has encountered the ghost

36
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,320
has been spared from harm.

37
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Fairytale, for evidence that ghosts do exist,

38
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,920
the record may speak for itself.

39
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:48,920
The legend of the Gray Man began in the late summer of 1822.

40
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,080
Along the dunes of a deserted beach on Taney Pauley's Island,

41
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
a wealthy young planter rode with his manservant

42
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,080
on a mission of the heart.

43
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,520
His destination was his fiance's plantation.

44
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,320
The wedding was just days away,

45
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:17,320
but the room was overcome with youthful emotion and impatience.

46
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

47
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,320
Ah, ah!

48
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,320
What do you want?

49
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,320
What do you want?

50
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,640
By the time it could be pulled out of the marsh,

51
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,120
it was too late.

52
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,320
The young man was dead.

53
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,320
At the plantation, a bride-to-be heard the tragic news.

54
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Rachel.

55
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Yes, cop?

56
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,320
It's James.

57
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,320
He was riding.

58
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,320
He fell on the marsh.

59
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,320
He died in the form.

60
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,320
According to the legend, the girl took to wandering the shore alone,

61
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:52,320
contemplating a life she no longer had reason to live.

62
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:59,320
One afternoon, she discerned a shadowy form standing in the sands.

63
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,320
That night, her betrothed whispered an urgent warning.

64
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,320
Cley, the island.

65
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,320
The wind is coming.

66
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,320
The land.

67
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320
She and her parents left the next day,

68
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,320
just before a hurricane slammed into the island.

69
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,320
But the girl, her family, and miraculously,

70
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,320
their plantation were spared.

71
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,320
The specter of the dead lover had voiced a warning from beyond the grave.

72
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,320
It was not to be the last time.

73
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320
One of the next recorded sightings of the gray man

74
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,320
took place on Paulie's Island at the turn of the century.

75
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,320
In anticipation of an approaching hurricane,

76
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,320
a tenant farmer was hurting animals owned by a local family off the island

77
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,320
when he encountered the gray man.

78
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,320
Hey, mister, better follow me off the island.

79
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,320
There's going to be a storm tonight.

80
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320
I say follow me off the island.

81
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,320
There's going to be a storm tonight.

82
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Are you crazy, man?

83
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,320
Do what you want.

84
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Come on.

85
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,320
The following day's hurricane was right past the family's plantation,

86
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,320
spelling it from destruction.

87
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,320
The property owned by that family was protected in the hurricane,

88
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,320
which is always what happens when the gray man appears to someone.

89
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,320
That was in October of 1893.

90
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,320
Through the years there have been numbers of different stories,

91
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,320
often in the newspaper, after a storm.

92
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,320
And in 1954, a man who lived in Georgetown

93
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,320
had had a summer home at Paulie's Island,

94
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,320
saw the gray man before Hurricane Hazel.

95
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,320
His home was so protected that beach towels that they had left

96
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,320
hanging on the railing of the porch were still there after the storm.

97
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Well, I was here in Hurricane Hazel,

98
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,320
so it's very hard for me to believe that beach towels

99
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,320
could have remained on that railing and not have been blown away,

100
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,320
but they did.

101
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,320
In 1954, Hurricane Hazel had left the Southern Atlantic coast in ruins.

102
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,320
95 people were killed and over 1,800 homes were destroyed.

103
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,320
For the next 35 years, the killer winds steered clear of Paulie's Island,

104
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:29,320
and the gray man came to be perceived by locals as something of a guardian angel.

105
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,320
When he appears to you, you're very blessed and fortunate.

106
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,320
Your house will be saved.

107
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,320
And so I think it's strange how people seem to have a sense of fear about ghosts,

108
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,320
and yet the gray man is a benign and kindly person

109
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320
who helps people when he comes and appears to them.

110
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,320
On midnight, September 22, 1989,

111
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,320
after laying waste to the Caribbean,

112
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Hurricane Hugo slammed into the coast of South Carolina.

113
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:07,320
Its winds ripped through the coastline at speeds in excess of 135 miles per hour.

114
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:13,320
Thousands were forced to flee their homes.

115
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:19,320
In South Carolina alone, there was close to $5 billion worth of damage.

116
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Over 9,000 homes were destroyed.

117
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Paulie's Island was particularly hard hit.

118
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Well, it looked like a giant dump pile.

119
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:49,320
Chairs, couches, iceboxes, all that stuff was piled up in the middle of the road.

120
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,320
It was terrible.

121
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,320
It practically destroyed Paulie's Island.

122
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,320
It destroyed 14 houses in our section.

123
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Hours was left standing.

124
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,320
Amazingly, even though the entire neighborhood was destroyed,

125
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,320
the Moors home was virtually unscathed.

126
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:18,320
As we went in, I was so happy to find everything just like I had left.

127
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,320
The papers that we had on the counter, still there,

128
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,320
even though the front door had blown open,

129
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,320
there was no evidence of any water or anything inside.

130
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,320
And the house was intact.

131
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Even the little pictures and things were still on the refrigerator.

132
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,320
They weren't even blown off.

133
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320
The salt and pepper shakers were still on the counter,

134
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,320
and little things that I had left around were still there.

135
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,320
The devastation to the rest of the homes in the island

136
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,320
brought about local speculation as to the gray man's whereabouts.

137
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Caught up in the aftermath of the hurricane,

138
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Jim and Clara Moore had completely forgotten about a haunting encounter

139
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,320
that occurred two days before Hugo struck.

140
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,320
I didn't think much about it until later on when the article came out in the paper,

141
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,320
the gray man failed to appear.

142
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,320
And then we talked about, well, we had seen him.

143
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,320
Hard to walk in the sand, didn't it?

144
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,320
We were taking a walk late in the afternoon, which we usually do.

145
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,320
And you see so many people walking on the beach at this time of the day.

146
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,320
That particular afternoon, we only saw the one.

147
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
And he was coming directly toward us.

148
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,320
When I got within speaking distance, I decided,

149
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,320
well, you always speak to people whether you know them or not.

150
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:54,320
So I raised my hand to say hi, or beautiful evening,

151
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,320
or beautiful night or whatever.

152
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320
And he disappeared.

153
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,320
Where did he go?

154
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,320
I don't know how to explain it, because it's an eerie thing like that, you know.

155
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,320
But of course, I didn't worry too much about it,

156
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,320
because I said, well, I was just seeing things,

157
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,320
but I'm sure that he was there.

158
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,320
And when I started to speak, he wasn't there.

159
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,320
I didn't know it was a gray man.

160
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,320
I just thought it was someone on the beach, until he disappeared.

161
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,320
And then that set us to thinking.

162
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:37,320
I can't explain our good fortune, except through the presence of the gray man,

163
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,320
and the Lord, of course.

164
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:46,320
He may have used the gray man, but I know our house was saved.

165
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,320
I can't think of any way that you could rationalize the saving of our house,

166
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,320
except it had to be America.

167
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,320
I never did believe too much in ghosts.

168
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,320
I have changed my outlook.

169
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320
I believe there are ghosts.

170
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:10,320
After seeing a ghost, you've got to believe it, you know.

171
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,320
It is said that every legend has some basis in truth.

172
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,320
According to the story, the gray man ended his tenure on Earth

173
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,320
with an urgent mission unaccomplished, his great love irretrievably lost.

174
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Yet some say he unknowingly walks the sands of Paulie's Island,

175
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:34,320
still searching for a woman who has been in her grave for over a century.

176
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,320
It is somehow inspiring to count and play the love so strong as to defy death.

177
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,320
But if these witnesses are to be believed,

178
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,320
then the gray man's personal tragedy has led to other salvation.

179
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,320
And to those whose homes and lives he has helped to save,

180
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:55,320
the only real tragedy is that they cannot give the gray man a heartfelt thank you.

181
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Next, the strange case of a young and successful stockbroker

182
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,320
who vanished in the New Mexico desert.

183
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:17,320
The desert that stretches across Arizona and New Mexico

184
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,320
has been a part of Native American myth and legend for centuries.

185
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Many believe it is a source of mystical power,

186
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:31,320
a spiritual vortex where natural beauty and supernatural energy mysteriously merge.

187
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,320
In 1988, this picturesque but unforgiving wilderness

188
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,320
became the setting for a real life mystery.

189
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,320
It all began on Halloween, two years ago.

190
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,320
Dawn, October 31st.

191
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,320
140 miles east of Tucson, Arizona,

192
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,320
local farmer Larry Rivers encountered a young stranger

193
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,320
who claimed to be searching for the beast.

194
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,320
It was pretty cold that morning.

195
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,320
I come driving out my road and this guy is walking out here in a short sleeve shirt.

196
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,320
A pair of shorts on, carrying a stick in his hand.

197
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Hello, you lost?

198
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,320
No, I'm not lost.

199
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,320
What are you doing out here?

200
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,320
I'm looking for the beast.

201
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,320
I'm not telling me what they're going to find the beast out here.

202
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,320
You can find the beast out here.

203
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,320
You tell me he'd find it.

204
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Well, I'm going to keep looking.

205
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,320
You need a ride somewhere?

206
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,320
No, no.

207
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,320
That was weird.

208
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,320
The stranger was later identified as 29-year-old David Stone.

209
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,320
He has not been seen or heard from in two years.

210
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,320
David Stone was a highly successful stock market analyst

211
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,320
who ran a branch of his father's business in La Jolla, California.

212
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,320
But about four years ago,

213
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,320
David expressed a desire to change his life

214
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,320
and became increasingly involved with a New Age movement.

215
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,320
The term New Age encompasses a variety of religious beliefs and philosophies

216
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,320
that promote self-enlightenment and spiritual growth.

217
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,320
Many followers believe that they can tap into a universal energy

218
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,320
through the use of crystals, pyramid, power, and meditation.

219
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,320
But in this case, David Stone's unyielding obsession

220
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,320
with a newfound spirituality may have sent him on a journey

221
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,320
from which there is no return.

222
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,320
Well, I think he could best be described as overachiever

223
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,320
in just about every way.

224
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,320
You've never met a kinder, gentler, young man than him,

225
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,320
very close to family.

226
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,320
But then on the other hand,

227
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,320
you put him in a football uniform and he was like a proverbial commando.

228
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,320
For years, David struggled with his dual nature.

229
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Hey, I said don't be doing that.

230
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,320
What's your problem, man?

231
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,320
On October 28th, 1988, during a party at his apartment,

232
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,320
David temporarily lost control.

233
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,320
David, what's going on?

234
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,320
David started hitting him.

235
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,320
He said he might have hit him 20, 25 times

236
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,320
and he didn't really hurt him, but felt he had to do that.

237
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,320
Roughly around nine o'clock in the morning,

238
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,320
he came down and told me what he had done.

239
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Where are you going?

240
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,320
I'm not sure. Grand Canyon, Sonora Desert, Sedona.

241
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,320
David told John that he needed to get away to reflect on his explosive behavior.

242
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,320
He said he would return home in a few days.

243
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,320
Later.

244
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,320
Five days later, David's car was discovered on a desolate stretch of New Mexico Highway 80.

245
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,320
When we hadn't heard from him, we called the New Mexico State Police

246
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,320
and his car had been found abandoned and they had towed it in.

247
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,320
Police interviewed local residents and learned that several had seen David.

248
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,320
We had left our home in Conta City and were driving up to the ranch.

249
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:24,320
As we went by, we saw this young man and we thought perhaps he'd had car trouble, so we stopped.

250
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Hi.

251
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,320
No, I'm okay. Thank you.

252
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320
And so, we just went on.

253
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,320
I am the power. I am the power.

254
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,320
I heard this voice.

255
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Seven masters, I can tell you.

256
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,320
And I seen this man walking across the way there.

257
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,320
I tell you, be gone. I am the power.

258
00:16:52,320 --> 00:17:04,320
I thought it was unusual that he'd be going out across the desert at that time of the year in shorts with no coat or anything, you know.

259
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,320
David's car was found near the Pyramid Mountain Range.

260
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,320
Pyramids are an integral part of New Age philosophy.

261
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,320
And each year, many believers come here to experience what are known as vision quests.

262
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:32,320
According to New Age philosophy, a vision quest is an introspective journey taken in order to discover one's inner self.

263
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:40,320
It is believed that through isolation and meditation, a person can experience a vision which will reveal their true identity.

264
00:17:41,320 --> 00:18:00,320
I am convinced that once he arrived at that location, that he felt like this would be the perfect starting point for whatever vision quest he personally felt that he had to embark on.

265
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:07,320
There's quite a process of preparation.

266
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,320
In that process, you have to face what they term as being the beast.

267
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:27,320
This beast is that evil or negativism which is in you and is the object that must be faced by every person in concrete before you can reach this state of being.

268
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,320
And I want to be one with God.

269
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:46,320
Four days after his son's car was discovered, Harry Stone joined a full-scale manhunt launched by the Bootheel Search and Rescue Team.

270
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:54,320
For three days, they scoured the desert using four planes and more than 40 trackers and volunteers on the ground.

271
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,320
David's trail headed northwest from his car in the direction of Granite Peak.

272
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,320
We thought it was interesting because that mountain from the south looks kind of pyramid shape.

273
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,320
It has an interesting look to it that might have meant something to his religion, it might not have.

274
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:20,320
One half mile from the highway, searchers discovered the first in a series of bizarre clues left by David.

275
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:28,320
That's when they found a large pyramid up in that wash that had been made out of sand, mounted up and rocks on the corner.

276
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,320
That was the first thing we found.

277
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,320
After I got further down the canyon, it seemed like the tracks were real fresh.

278
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:47,320
I had a real strange feeling that Harry stood up on my arms and I had an intense feeling that he was sitting watching me.

279
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,320
On the second day, trackers discovered another puzzling clue.

280
00:19:53,320 --> 00:20:00,320
Once again, David had erected a small pyramid, but this time he left behind his gold Rolex watch and two quarters.

281
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,320
I wonder how come he left his watch here? I don't know what that means.

282
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Must be something to do with his religion.

283
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,320
The coins and David's watch were found here about one quarter mile from the first pyramid.

284
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:24,320
Approximately three miles to the north, another puzzling clue was discovered.

285
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,320
Searchers came upon a strange sequence of numbers written in the sand.

286
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:38,320
They later learned that these numbers are called the Fibonacci series and are used by stock market analysts the world over.

287
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,320
But the last number in the sequence should have been 21.

288
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Oddly, David wrote 18.

289
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,320
He knew better than that.

290
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,320
So it's one of the mysteries.

291
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,320
Why would he write 18 instead of 21?

292
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:58,320
But that goes along with a lot of other unanswered questions.

293
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:10,320
It's real rare for a person to be out as long as he probably was without ever losing a gum wrapper or without ever finding any sign where they slept, where they ate, any sign of that kind of stuff we never found.

294
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,320
The stones now feel that the number 18 may have been David's way of telling them he was in trouble.

295
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:28,320
Ironically, his car was found at mile marker 18 and during his senior year in college, David's football jersey number was 18.

296
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,320
By the final day of the search, the elements had all but obliterated David's footprints.

297
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,320
However, blood hounds were able to track his scent over the rocky desert terrain.

298
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,320
They followed it back to highway 80.

299
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:52,320
When they came to the intersection of Interstate 10, David's trail suddenly stopped.

300
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Approximately 13 miles north of where his car was found.

301
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:08,320
At the time we took it to be a hopeful sign that he had hitchhiked out or that somebody had given him a ride and that was the only thing we could understand that would mean why the scent disappeared like it did.

302
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:18,320
Well, I just kept feeling that everything was there to let us know what had happened, but we just weren't seeing it.

303
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:26,320
At the conclusion of the search, Carol and Harry Stone made a more extensive inventory of the items left in David's car.

304
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:35,320
Tucked away in a pocket version of a New Testament, they found a business card bearing the name of a Tony Biesteros and an Arizona phone number.

305
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320
They immediately contacted Biesteros.

306
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:54,320
I never met David Stone myself, but the possible way if you could have gotten my card, as I placed it on a mosquito tree for my other friends to find our campsite, maybe the wind blew it down, he picked it up later.

307
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,320
At this point, nothing makes sense how my card got into his Bible to tell you the truth.

308
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:07,320
In addition to the business card, the Stones found a strangely worded note.

309
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,320
The note said they think the word is in the safe.

310
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:21,320
Six knives in Rob's room, you just buys your tea and just takes your chances. Halloween.

311
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:35,320
We don't know what the word tea means. We think it's the old saying, you buy your ticket and you take your chances, but it just said you just buy your tea and you take your chances. Halloween.

312
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,320
And that was the day he disappeared, which was October 31st, Halloween.

313
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:47,320
What is the meaning behind the strange clues that David left across the desert?

314
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,320
Were they a coded message that he was in trouble? Or were they a sign of his ultimate destination?

315
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:05,320
It seems apparent that David managed to walk out of the desert, but what became of him after he reached the intersection of Highway 80 and Interstate 10?

316
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,320
I don't know. I know what I see.

317
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,320
There are always those unanswered questions.

318
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:20,320
You know, life has to go on. It's very difficult at times.

319
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:31,320
We would always want him to feel free to contact us and let him know that we love him and would want to hear from him.

320
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,320
But we, you know, we face the possibilities a lot.

321
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:14,320
When we return, the story of a woman named Katie, who has reportedly demonstrated bizarre psychic abilities that defy explanation.

322
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:30,320
You're about to meet a woman named Katie. According to witnesses, Katie can predict the future and materialize objects out of thin air.

323
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,320
She has supposedly written perfect medieval French while in a trance.

324
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,320
A surprising accomplishment for a person who claims that she never learned to read or write.

325
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:46,320
Throughout history, many have claimed to possess psychic powers but have been exposed as clever fakes using sleight of hand.

326
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:56,320
Is Katie gifted with eerie paranormal abilities? Or is she just a talented magician with extraordinary powers of illusion? You be the judge.

327
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:03,320
I'll see people that ain't there. You know, I hear voices that no one else hears.

328
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Objects coming from eyes, ears, nose, mouth, you know, just popping out.

329
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:22,320
I've seen her take forks, spoons, nails, anything like that. And by doing this, she could take two fingers and you could watch it droop.

330
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:28,320
I've saw Katie's face go from nothing there to the diamond start to come out of her eye.

331
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:36,320
Katie is a great classical physical medium, a psychic who has the ability or apparently the ability is a gift which she has.

332
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Where things happen which are unexplainable, physical things, mind over matter, seeds germinating, things moving without reason, things appearing and disappearing.

333
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:51,320
And all kinds of prophecy, all kinds of things, both mental and physical phenomena.

334
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:02,320
Katie says that her odd experiences began in 1974. She was 25 years old.

335
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:12,320
I was cleaning in my kitchen and this man opens the door and he comes in and proceeds to go back to my bedroom.

336
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,320
I thought it was the guy that we were written from.

337
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:26,320
So I go back to the bedroom to see what he wants and when I get back there, there's nobody there.

338
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:39,320
So I'm thinking, you know, God, I'm losing it. You know, I've seen this man walk in my door, back to my bedroom.

339
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,320
My windows are locked. There's no way out and he's not there.

340
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Several days later, Katie's husband brought home a family photo album which Katie claims she had never seen before.

341
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,320
That's him. That's the man I saw.

342
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,320
That's my dad.

343
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,320
He had a picture of him.

344
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,320
And I said, well, this is the man that opened the door.

345
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,320
And he says, it can't be.

346
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,320
He said, that's my dad. I'd never, never seen the picture of his dad.

347
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,320
And his dad had died maybe five years before we had ever, ever met.

348
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,320
My view myself was very skeptical when it comes to psychics.

349
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320
My view myself was very skeptical anyway.

350
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,320
If I can't see something that's quite tangible, I just don't believe it.

351
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:36,320
And in this particular case, we've seen some, some things that were quite astounding that I can't explain.

352
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Jerry Burr is a retired police investigator who has enlisted Katie's help on several occasions.

353
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,320
In one burglary investigation, Burr withheld a location of a crime scene from Katie.

354
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,320
That's it. That's the house.

355
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,320
This is the house, sir?

356
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,320
Okay, that's the right one.

357
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:09,320
According to Burr, Katie not only found the house, she described the oriental art inside and said that something had been stolen from a box in a blue room.

358
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,320
As we walked in, in the entryway, it was all oriental art.

359
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:21,320
Walked into the room that the, the bedroom that the items were taken from and it turned out the bedroom was blue as well.

360
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,320
She had said it was taken from a box and sure enough the items that were taken were from a cherry wood box.

361
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Didn't know what to think at first because she was so dead on and because I am quite skeptical I started looking at Katie as a good suspect.

362
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320
When I just wasn't aware that, you know, she was that good.

363
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,320
15 minutes later, Katie had another premonition.

364
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:55,320
As we left the house, we were driving back around and I kept smelling this, this odor.

365
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,320
I smell marijuana.

366
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,320
I don't, I don't smell any of it.

367
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,320
Stop the car. This is where it's strongest.

368
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,320
And he says, well what direction is it coming from now?

369
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,320
And I said from the water there.

370
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:19,320
So he walked up on this lake dock and he asked me if I could still smell it and I told him yes.

371
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,320
And he asked me kind of jokingly.

372
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320
He says, well do you know when this stuff is going to come in here?

373
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,320
She said that in two weeks that we would have this marijuana would come up on the beach.

374
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,320
Two weeks, almost to the hour, we had 25 bills of marijuana washed up on the beach.

375
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:44,320
The marijuana washed ashore only a few hundred yards from where Katie had sensed a distinctive smell.

376
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,320
However, police confirmed that marijuana shipments had often been recovered in the same area.

377
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:56,320
Was Katie's prediction a true display of psychic powers or just a lucky guess?

378
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,320
Psychics make general predictions and it's difficult to confirm them.

379
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,320
I don't think on the basis of what I've seen that Miss Katie has any special powers.

380
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,320
Surely not.

381
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,320
Professor Paul Kurtz has spent 15 years investigating the unverified claims of the paranormal.

382
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,320
She may have the powers of persuasion, but I don't know that there's anything mysterious about what she's done.

383
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,320
Or what she claims to do.

384
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,320
It seems like it's coming out of my face a lot.

385
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,320
Stick your tongue out please.

386
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,320
Katie's abilities however extend beyond the psychic realm.

387
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,320
The most astounding manifestations are physical.

388
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:43,320
Katie has been videotaped by her psychiatrist, sweating what appears to be gold foil out of the pores of her skin.

389
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,320
It comes out all over my body.

390
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:53,320
Face, eyes, ears, mouth, arms, thighs, tummy back.

391
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Wherever I gotta pours, this is where it comes out at.

392
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,320
That's getting larger it seems to me.

393
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,320
Katie has supposedly exuded the foil more than 100 times.

394
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:13,320
Psychiatrist Bertol Schwarz has examined her to see if she's got any signs of any kind of substance.

395
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,320
Psychiatrist Bertol Schwarz has examined her during some of these episodes.

396
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:29,320
Miss Katie has the ability apparently of having a metallic gold like metal foil form on her body and sometimes on objects nearby.

397
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:37,320
For example a framed picture of her late mother and this gold like foil will appear on the borders of the picture on the frame.

398
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:44,320
More likely the gold using the words Lucy will appear on her cheeks, under the eyes, abdomen, forearms.

399
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,320
Here we have something which is a medical marvel.

400
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:57,320
I saw the gold on her tongue first as Dr. Schwarz was taking the gold off.

401
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,320
He had to actually peel it off with a tweezer like instrument.

402
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:08,320
And then I looked down at her arm and I was holding her hand and there was nothing on her arm at all.

403
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:18,320
And then she had these long strips of gold that resembled candy kiss wrapping.

404
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:29,320
As we were sitting in a room with Katie, Katie had picked up the front of her blouse and gold flakes were covering her entire stomach area.

405
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,320
And after it was brushed off with her shirt still in the open position, more gold flakes appeared.

406
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:42,320
Eye witnesses insisted these incidents were not faked and that the gold foil appeared before their eyes.

407
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:49,320
A laboratory analysis of the material reveals it to be 80% copper and 20% zinc.

408
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:57,320
I don't think there's any objective hard evidence that this is exuding from her pores.

409
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:05,320
Most likely point to someone who wants other people to believe this and so they put this metallic paper on them.

410
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:13,320
Two Professor Kurtz's colleagues were able to simulate Katie's alleged abilities using ordinary metallic foil.

411
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,320
Okay, so this is what we did. We went to a regular art store in Buffalo.

412
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:24,320
We bought something called gold leafing. It's very thin strips of foil colored gold.

413
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,320
The chemical composition of the foil closely resembles that of Katie's foil.

414
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:37,320
I put the foil on and thin strips Kathy helped me. And then I sprayed hairspray on it so it would stick and it's been stuck for four hours since 11 this morning.

415
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:48,320
And I have some on my tongue and I can still talk and swallow sometimes. And then I put it on my stomach and then I put it on my back.

416
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:56,320
And then somebody came up to me and said, well, hey, I know this person that's got this stuff that comes out of their skin. You know, it's gold.

417
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:07,320
You know, I've seen this. I would think it was a trick. Until I've seen it myself, I would believe that, you know, well, what are they doing?

418
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:15,320
You know, how are they getting this on them? Or, you know, what kind of magic are they doing?

419
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,320
I would believe it was fake to us art.

420
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,320
I'm here, Kate. I put the hair out of the way.

421
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:31,320
Even more unbelievable are Katie's apparent powers of apportation where solid objects seem to appear out of her mouth, nose or ears.

422
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:39,320
This videotape taken by her psychiatrist shows what appears to be a gold charm emerged from the vicinity of her ear.

423
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:49,320
This tape was also shot by Dr. Schwartz and shows a glass stone resembling a diamond, apparently materializing out of Katie's eye.

424
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:59,320
It might look as though she's going to throw up or and cough, cough away, out pops a gem of some kind right out of the mouth.

425
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,320
Now, prior to that, the mouth and throat was examined very carefully. There was nothing there.

426
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:08,320
She sipped some water and swallowed, so nothing was secreted, which it's hard to see how it could be anyway.

427
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,320
In the stomach, so you have to ask the question, where did this thing come from?

428
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,320
Are these examples of apportation really skillful sleight of hand?

429
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,320
This footage has been slowed down to take a closer look.

430
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:28,320
In these frames, we can see the object emerge from above her ring.

431
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:41,320
As soon as we saw the apportation, we decided we would get a magician in here who has attended our meetings and worked with us in the past to see if he could duplicate what she has done.

432
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,320
And he did that.

433
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:51,320
I assume that at the point when she actually caused the gem to appear, she had the gem palmed in her hand, just like this.

434
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:58,320
The palm between her fingers is a very comfortable place and you can gesture conveniently and comfortably and nobody suspects anything.

435
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:04,320
And then when she reached her hand up to her eye, it was a simple matter to spread her fingers apart.

436
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,320
You can see them spreading apart as the gem falls through.

437
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,320
Just like that.

438
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,320
Is Katie a brilliant fraud?

439
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:20,320
If so, it seems odd that she has never attempted to profit in any way from her abilities.

440
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,320
But could Katie truly be marked with paranormal powers?

441
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,320
Where does something like this fit into my thinking?

442
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,320
It doesn't. It's beyond me. It's beyond my comprehension.

443
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:40,320
I was a doubting Thomas too. But if you saw it, you too would be a believer.

444
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:49,320
I've learned to accept it a little bit more now than what I did in the beginning.

445
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,320
But I do still have questions in my mind that are not answered yet.

446
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,320
And I don't know if they will be answered.

447
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,320
But I'm going to keep trying until I find out.

448
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:12,320
Next, a surprising update on our story of reincarnation. Can two lovers from the past be reunited?

449
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:26,320
Reincarnation, life after death, has fascinated people and cultures all over the world for centuries.

450
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,320
Last season we presented the eerie story of a woman named Georgia Rudolph,

451
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,320
who is convinced that she is the reincarnation of a girl who lived at the turn of the century.

452
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,320
Tonight, a surprising update on Georgia's bizarre story.

453
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,320
Since childhood, Georgia has been beset by recurring dreams and memories of an unfamiliar earlier time.

454
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:55,320
Visions of horses and carriages, a river, and repeatedly old-fashioned stern leaders.

455
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:03,320
Often there is a young man dressed in a brown suit and derby hat, and always the image of a dark-haired girl.

456
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:18,320
My whole childhood, I thought I was crazy, because I don't think there was a month that went by that I didn't have either memories or dreams.

457
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:25,320
Continually haunted by these images, Georgia sought therapy in the form of regressive hypnosis.

458
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:35,320
When Georgia first contacted me, I felt it might be something like an early traumatic childhood memory that she was trying to remember,

459
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,320
or possibly could be an aspect of a multiple personality.

460
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:44,320
Other than that, reincarnation was probably the last thing in my mind about what had happened to her.

461
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,320
Under hypnosis, Georgia began to give detail to her visions.

462
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,320
She believes the girl in her dreams is Sandra Jean Jenkins.

463
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,320
The young man in the derby hat was her fiance. His name was Tommy Hicks.

464
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:07,320
In 1914, according to Georgia's visions, Tommy Hicks drowned in the Ohio River. His body was never found.

465
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,320
Sandra Jean Jenkins was left unmarried and pregnant with Tommy's child.

466
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:25,320
Distraught over the death of Tommy and unable to face the shame that their unborn child would bring, Sandra Jean Jenkins took her own life.

467
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,320
Georgia began searching for the people and places she saw in her dreams.

468
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,320
In 1984, she journeyed to Marietta, Ohio, where she met with reporter Ted Bauer.

469
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,320
Ted is a lifelong resident of Marietta and worked for the local newspaper for 32 years.

470
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:53,320
When Georgia arrived in Marietta, I said, I'll take you around and show you some of the places that you talked about over the phone.

471
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,320
And she says, no, I'll show you where to go.

472
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,320
I couldn't believe her knowledge of Marietta.

473
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:09,320
I can't buy the reincarnation bit, but she has some kind of power, some way of knowing what happened in the past.

474
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,320
In a nearby town, Georgia located a house she says matches the house and her visions.

475
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:25,320
Relatives of the former owner gave Georgia what she feels is evidence that Sandra Jean Jenkins did exist.

476
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,320
They brought out a picture.

477
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:39,320
Taken in 1908, and the girl that I call Sandra is standing in that picture.

478
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:47,320
It was a statement made by a member of the family.

479
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:53,320
I don't know this girl's name, but I know she drowned out back of the house.

480
00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:01,320
Georgia's story is difficult to accept, but there are so many coincidences that we cannot simply dismiss it out of hand.

481
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,320
After our broadcast, we learned of another equally baffling coincidence.

482
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:13,320
A 36-year-old college professor who had never met Georgia Rudolph claims that over a year before our broadcast,

483
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:22,320
he underwent hypnosis and had a past life experience in which he recalled that he was a young man living in Ohio at the turn of the century named Tommy Hicks.

484
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:33,320
When I saw the original segment with Georgia Rudolph, I could just feel the anxiety building in myself because there was almost instant recognition.

485
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:40,320
And my wife was watching me and thinking what's wrong with him, and I was gripping the arm of the couch tighter and tighter and tighter as it went through.

486
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:48,320
And then when Georgia Rudolph finally said that his name was Tom Hicks, I almost fell off the couch.

487
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,320
Our broadcast aired in February 1990.

488
00:42:52,320 --> 00:43:00,320
In September of 1988, Jack Turnock underwent regressive hypnosis with Dr. Bruce Crystal in Jacksonville, Florida.

489
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:14,320
The particular session that I went through, I was taken back to turn of the century Ohio, and I told the interviewer that my name was Tom Hicks.

490
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:23,320
While under hypnosis, Jack said that a river seemed to play a large part in the life of Tommy Hicks, and that Tommy's younger brother had drowned.

491
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,320
Jack also recalled that Tommy Hicks had a girlfriend with long, dark hair.

492
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,320
I still remain somewhat skeptical. I need more proof.

493
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:40,320
But we're getting closer and closer to the point where we cannot excuse it on the basis of chance or probability.

494
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,320
I think Jennifer...

495
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:48,320
In September, Jack Turnock traveled to Macon, Georgia, and underwent regressive hypnosis with Dr. Douglas Smith.

496
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:59,320
During the session, Dr. Smith asked Jack several key questions in order to determine if he could have in any way fabricated the events he described while under hypnosis two years earlier.

497
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,320
The hair's pulled back, but it's as long as he can.

498
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:12,320
We have asked him to compare the reincarnation experience that he had with something that did not occur to him, and he could make the distinction.

499
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,320
In my professional opinion, I am quite certain that he was telling the truth.

500
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,320
Boat was stuck.

501
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:31,320
I was skeptical before the two regression sessions that I've had, but if they're not true, then there's an awful lot of very odd coincidences going on.

502
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:40,320
Something very definite is going on, but we have no rational explanation that science can provide as to what's happening.

503
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,320
I suggest we keep an open mind.

504
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:56,320
The stories of Georgia Rudolph and Jack Turnock are indeed hard to believe, but keep in mind many of the world's religions except reincarnation is a basic part of their beliefs.

505
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:05,320
For the rest of us, the possibility of life after death, however hopeful, remains an unsolved mystery.

506
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:14,320
Next Week on Unsolved Mysteries

507
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:34,320
55 years ago, Aviatrix Amelia Earhart was the most famous woman in America. In 1937, she left Oakland, California to fly around the world.

508
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,320
Six weeks later, her plane went down in the South Pacific.

509
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:47,320
Today, evidence from the remote island of Saipan suggests that Amelia Earhart was captured by the Japanese and may have been executed.

510
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:54,320
In Woodstock, Illinois, a high school romance turns sour and ends in tragedy for 17-year-old Colleen Ritter.

511
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,320
Perhaps you can help capture her missing boyfriend who is wanted for murder.

512
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:08,320
Also a special appeal from the musical group New Kids on the Block. Three years ago, 16-year-old Carrie Nixon disappeared.

513
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,320
In June 1989, she may have been spotted at New Kids Concert in Los Angeles.

514
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,320
Join me next week for another edition of Unsolved Mysteries.
