People have other ways of doing it. 186 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,720 In poltergeist cases, the stresses tend to be very psychologically oriented 187 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,720 in most of these cases. 188 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,720 So they can be related to deep-seated issues around the family 189 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,720 or even around the working conditions. 190 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,720 They are typically not expressed in other ways. 191 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,720 So there's no outlet for most of these people. 192 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,720 Was Jackie's unconscious mind throwing a temper tantrum? 193 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,720 And if so, why? 194 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,720 It could be due to the fact she was experiencing emotional issues at the time 195 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,720 following a difficult divorce. 196 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,720 There was enough going on in her life and frankly enough psychological issues 197 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,720 that would indicate that she was responsible for most of the phenomena that was happening. 198 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,720 In most poltergeist cases, people rarely ever think of themselves as the agent. 199 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,720 According to Auerbach, the most compelling argument that Jackie was both the victim 200 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,720 and the problem is what happened when she moved 600 kilometers away. 201 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:21,720 Incredibly, the vicious paranormal attacks on her continued. 202 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,720 In poltergeist cases, when people move, the phenomena follows them 203 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,720 because it's coming from them. 204 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,720 And that also happened in that particular case. 205 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:37,720 But if Jackie was her own poltergeist, how is it that the new tenants also reported paranormal attacks? 206 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,720 Could it be that Jackie herself was responsible for the weird goings on? 207 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Or were they the result of an altogether different kind of bad vibe? 208 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,720 Professor John Huntington believes the Jackie Hernandez case can be explained by 209 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,720 unprotectable audio waves known as infrasound. 210 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,720 Sound is just the vibration in air pressure. 211 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720 That's how we perceive it. That's how it gets into your ear. 212 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,720 Infrasound is below the range that we can hear as an audible sound. 213 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,720 But we're still being affected by the sound wave is still impinging on our bodies. 214 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:22,720 In fact, right now in the room we have a pretty loud 19 hertz, 19 cycle per second infrasound wave going. 215 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,720 But it's not really audible as a sound. 216 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,720 And it's quite a bit louder than the level of the speech that I'm talking about right now. 217 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:38,720 But it's still there and it's still affecting us, it's still pressurizing the air that I'm breathing, that I'm speaking. 218 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,720 Human ears can't detect ultra low frequencies. 219 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,720 If it's below 20 hertz, you can't hear it. 220 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,720 But other than our own bodies, what might cause these low frequencies? 221 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,720 Man-made sources of infrasound could be anything from a piece of air handling equipment in a building, 222 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:02,720 anything like a train, a truck, anything that's big stuff that's moving could generate these very low, low frequency sounds. 223 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:11,720 Incredibly, Huntington believes low frequency sound waves could have caused Jackie Hernandez's unpleasant experiences. 224 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,720 So in addition to things like headaches and nausea being caused by exposure to infrasound, 225 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:25,720 there have been some reports of feeling a presence or some sort of hallucination or feeling like strange things are going on in the room. 226 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:32,720 A lot of that was documented by two researchers at Coventry University, Tandy and Lawrence in the late 90s. 227 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,720 They were working in a space, sort of an underground space as I understand it. 228 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,720 And they had all kinds of just strange experiences. 229 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,720 People would think that somebody was standing next to them and when there wasn't anybody in the room, 230 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,720 they'd be feeling alone and felt like there was a presence in the room and there wasn't anybody else there. 231 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,720 All kinds of strange experiences happening in this one space. 232 00:14:53,720 --> 00:15:02,720 And this would build up, of course, would build up anxiety having these sort of constant, sort of strange experiences. 233 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:09,720 And then one of the researchers brought a fencing foil into the room to work on and clamped it into a vise and it started moving on its own. 234 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,720 And it was sort of flopping up and down at both ends where it wasn't secured in the vise. 235 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:20,720 That led the Tandy and Lawrence to research this and they ended up doing some acoustical measurements in the room 236 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:28,720 and found that a piece of air handling equipment was causing a very loud 19-cycle per second infrasound sound wave in the room. 237 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:36,720 And in addition, the physical geometry of the space was causing that sound wave to build up in certain locations in the lab. 238 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,720 Can infrasound exposure mimic the experience of a haunting? 239 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:48,720 In infrasound, it could possibly cause something like a hallucination or an aphorition or some other things like that 240 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,720 based on the vibration of the sound wave actually affecting the eye. 241 00:15:52,720 --> 00:16:02,720 The eye itself could resonate or get a very strong sort of vibration and that could cause a boring vision or possible issues around the periphery division. 242 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:12,720 Those things coupled with already being in sort of a spooky location, being on edge by the infrasound, could certainly cause some sort of ghostly experiences. 243 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,720 Was Jackie's home haunted or was she her own poltergeist? 244 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,720 Whatever the answer, this story is certainly weird. 245 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,720 What? 246 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:43,720 A Connecticut housewife is tortured from within. Has she been possessed by an evil spirit? 247 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720 Demons like to attack good people. 248 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:55,720 Many of us have experienced events that we would call paranormal, but in fact are just things that are harmless and easily explained. 249 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:03,720 But what is the paranormal and does it exist? Even the name is a little, well, weird and scary. 250 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,720 Here's the way it's described in the dictionary. 251 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,720 Paranormal, a claim to currents of an event without scientific explanation. 252 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,720 As psychokinesis. 253 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:32,720 Extrasensory perception of other purportedly supernatural phenomena. 254 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,720 Alright guys, come on, that's it. 255 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:43,720 You can fool some... oh boy, oh boy. 256 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:54,720 But some people experience paranormal events that are real, so real in fact they're deadly, weird, or what? 257 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:03,720 History professor John Kerner studies reports of paranormal activity. None have haunted him more than the story of Patricia Redding. 258 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:11,720 They all count she was a good person. I mean, there's nothing you can see in her past that would indicate why this happens to her. 259 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,720 In 1992, Patricia's life took a terrifying turn. 260 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:24,720 Doing chores around her home in Litchfield, Connecticut, she suddenly hears a terrifying voice. 261 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:33,720 She felt what she thought was an evil presence that was around her. There was nothing that could explain this. 262 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,720 Patricia tries to brush it off, but the eerie voice won't stop, ever. 263 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:47,720 It's the beginning of a horrifying ordeal. 264 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,720 The situation got much, much worse. 265 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,720 I had a number of things that were happening to her that were very unusual. 266 00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,720 There were bite marks on the back of her neck, bruises on the back of her body, things she could not do by herself. 267 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:08,720 What could be inflicting Patricia's vicious bruises and other injuries? It's a frightening and bizarre mystery. 268 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,720 Devastated and disturbed, she seeks help. 269 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,720 The family took Patricia Redding to the hospital, to local doctors. 270 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,720 They ruled out all the conditions that could possibly be affecting her. 271 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:28,720 With no medical explanation, Patricia resorts to hoping her problems will simply go away. 272 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,720 But then things started getting much worse after that. 273 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,720 She was knocked over. Horribly, if she did not know what is happening. 274 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,720 Again, the seemingly evil presence hurls her into the wall. 275 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,720 These are things that never could happen to Pat Redding in a normal situation. 276 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,720 She is not herself. She's becoming someone else. 277 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Fearing for her safety, Patricia has only one place to turn. 278 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,720 At that point, the Catholic Church got involved. 279 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Patricia's bishop takes her claims seriously. After an examination, he reaches an incredible conclusion. 280 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,720 They make the diagnosis, yes, she is possessed. 281 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,720 Demons like to attack good people. 282 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:23,720 There's only one solution. An ancient ritual as old as the church itself. 283 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,720 The bishop decides he will perform an exorcism. 284 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,720 He called upon a demon to reveal himself and say who you are, reveal yourself, in the name of Jesus Christ. 285 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,720 Almost every religion really believes in evil in some form or another. 286 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:45,720 But the difference with the Catholic Church is that the Catholic Church believes evil is actually a physical manifestation in this world. 287 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,720 It's such as a concept. 288 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:53,720 At first, the demon stays hidden, but not for long. 289 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,720 She was speaking in a language she could not speak in normally. 290 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,720 From insult to priest insult to his family. Things that she never would have done alone. 291 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,720 These are pretty clear signs you're dealing with the evil entity inside the person's body. 292 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,720 Having forced the demon into the open, the real battle begins. 293 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,720 Things like holy objects, this often can enter the demon. 294 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:32,720 These are tools in a war that can cause them to be so upset, the words of Christ makes them so angry. 295 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,720 So it has to be said over and over again. It's a war of attrition. 296 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,720 The battle rages for hours. 297 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,720 At long last, something breaks. 298 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,720 The demons, they're so upset that they can't take this any longer and they'll go somewhere else. 299 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720 They'll go bother somebody else. 300 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,720 The exhausting battle ends with the demons on the run. 301 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,720 But before long they're back. 302 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,720 Evil is real. It can affect someone in some formal ways. 303 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,720 Sadly, Patricia runs out of time. 304 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:14,720 After 16 exorcisms, in 2005 she dies of cancer, believed to be caused by her demons. 305 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,720 Christopher Ross is a psychologist. He says he knows exactly what happened to Patricia Redding. 306 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:29,720 Coming from a religious perspective you might assume that this must be a demonic presence. 307 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,720 But as a psychologist, my diagnosis would be dissociative identity disorder. 308 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:44,720 Better known as a split personality, disassociative identity disorder is when two or more personalities inhabit one mind. 309 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,720 An abusive childhood can sometimes cause such a psychological break. 310 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,720 One personality becomes the happy face the person in the world sees. 311 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,720 The other deals with all the hidden pain, shame and suffering. 312 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,720 The primary personality is unaware of the other personality. 313 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,720 They may hear voices and have these sort of signs but they don't know what it's about. 314 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,720 Can psychology explain the power of an exorcism? 315 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,720 After the exorcism, the individual experiences complete and sudden remission of their symptoms. 316 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,720 And of course that's considered to prove positive that the demon has been removed. 317 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:31,720 An alternative way of looking at that however is that the prayer, the ritual is in fact to serve to rearrange these separate identities. 318 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Such that they have receded from the host's awareness. They don't hear the voice anymore. 319 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:45,720 Then what I experience having with some patients is that maybe weeks or months later the voice has come back. 320 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:53,720 Everything I'm saying here is in no way meant to malign the value of religious spiritual care. 321 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:01,720 But there are some psychological ways of understanding these experiences that really should be taken into account. 322 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:10,720 Demonic possession. Ordinary people suddenly possessed by nasty entity. 323 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,720 Ring a bell? 324 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,720 Well, you know, I've seen all the movies. Omen, One, Two, Three, The Exorcist a lot. 325 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,720 And guess what? Not only do they not scare me, but I don't believe them. 326 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:35,720 I mean, just because it gets a little stormy doesn't mean the devil is on his way to take over his soul, does it? 327 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:43,720 Yeah, that's for all that other ridiculous stuff like twisting heads, speaking in strange tongues. 328 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,720 Is demonic possession all in our heads? 329 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,720 Or is there a more frightening answer? 330 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,720 Reverend Bob Larson is not your average man of God. 331 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,720 I am among other things, an exorcist. 332 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,720 Larson has studied Patricia Redding's possession and is convinced it was real. 333 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:24,720 There are those who would like to have the public believe that demonic possession is rare. 334 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:31,720 I can tell you, it's not rare. It'll make a cold chill go up your spine. 335 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:41,720 Are demons really all around us? Are they trying to take over the bodies of innocent humans? 336 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:50,720 The Bible teaches that when Satan was cast out of heaven, a third of the angels involved in that insurrection were cast out with him. 337 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:58,720 According to the book of Revelation, when Satan lost his war with God, he and his followers were banished to the spirit realm on Earth. 338 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:13,720 Satan is now an invisible spirit being. Satan can't pull the trigger of a gun, but what Satan can do is invade human bodies, and those people then become the instruments of evil. 339 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,720 Larson believes demonic possession has a firm basis in Scripture. 340 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,720 He's also certain that Patricia's condition wasn't the case of split personality. 341 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,720 I deal a lot with multiple personality disorder. I know the difference. 342 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:41,720 When you see the demon have such utter hatred for God and religious objects such as the cross, that aversion means it's something more than psychosis. 343 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,720 That's when you know they are possessed. 344 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,720 But there's one thing Larson believes is the ultimate proof of demonic presence. 345 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:57,720 In the Pat reading case, she apparently spoke in another language. I've seen this happen thousands and thousands of times. 346 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:07,720 I had a woman speak Chinese one time. I had a fascinating case where a strange language was being spoken in a college professor with a PhD in ancient Semitic languages. 347 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,720 He said, I can come up and tell you exactly what the voice was saying. And he did. 348 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,720 And the voice was speaking about his possession of the person and how it was determined to destroy them. 349 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,720 Now this was a PhD college professor who was giving testimony to it. 350 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:35,720 Could these four even forgot the languages prove that Satan is carrying on an age-old war by invading the bodies of humans? 351 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:44,720 To the skeptics who may not believe in demonic possession, I say, travel with me and meet the thousands of people who have had exorcisms. 352 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:57,720 When you see the smile and the glow on the person's face as they say to you, wow, I didn't know I could feel like this. Something is gone. That's why I do exorcisms. 353 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:05,720 I don't know about you, but stories of ghosts and the paranormal send shivers up my spine. That's kind of fun, right? 354 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:12,720 But do spirits or ghosts or whatever they are always have to be evil? Aren't there any friendly dead people out there? I hope so. 355 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:19,720 But there's some people who not only enjoy having ghosts around, they can talk to them whenever they like. How? 356 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,720 They've got the gift. 357 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:29,720 In just about every way, Faye Jackson is an average teenage girl. 358 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,720 I like to shop and just hang out with my friends. 359 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:43,720 While Faye's life appears to be ordinary in truth, she and her family are dealing with something so sensitive. They've chosen to conceal their appearance. 360 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:50,720 Although it has become part of everyday life for us, it is still at times frightening. 361 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,720 Faye's story began three years ago when she was 10. 362 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:04,720 I was sitting in my bedroom on my own. I could feel a man sitting next to me. 363 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,720 She could feel like an energy, like a presence next to her. 364 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,720 And I could just feel his breath in my ear when it was all warm. 365 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,720 And then she heard him whispering in the hurry. 366 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Can you hear me? 367 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,720 Can you hear me? 368 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,720 Can you hear me? 369 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:25,720 Can you hear me? 370 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,720 Faye races to her mom. 371 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,720 Like the fear, it was uncontrollable. It was unexplainable. 372 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,720 The child was absolutely terrified and I was scared for her to be honest. 373 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,720 When Lynn takes her daughter back to the room, the man is gone. 374 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,720 But Faye is in no doubt as to what she's experienced. 375 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,720 I saw my first ghost. 376 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,720 Terrifyingly, Faye's encounter was just the beginning. 377 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,720 The spirit started regularly visiting me. 378 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,720 They'd only come when I was on my own. And when they did, just random spirits were walking to my bedroom. 379 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:16,720 Faye is haunted by hundreds of ghosts. Sometimes she sees as many as five a night. 380 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,720 Sometimes I just want to show her how they died, which is a little bit... 381 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,720 ...acquirement times and she's only 13. 382 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,720 The ghosts begin getting bolder. 383 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,720 There was an incident when her bed was shook, which completely terrified me. 384 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:42,720 I just felt like I was being attacked. It was horrible. It felt really dangerous and I felt like I was on my own. 385 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,720 That was when I knew we had to do something about it. 386 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,720 At her wit's end, Lynn seeks professional advice. 387 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,720 We got lots of help from local mediums who understood what was happening. 388 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,720 Far from seeing it as something frightening, the mediums tell them... 389 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:06,720 ...Faye's ability to see and connect with the dead is a gift and a very rare one at that. 390 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:15,720 They taught Faye techniques that she could use to take more of a control over her gift and to see it as a gift, really. 391 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:26,720 With the help of psychic mediums, the support of her mother and lots of hard work, Faye finally mastered her gift. 392 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:36,720 It's like I have two lives. I live one life where I'm just a normal girl and then other times I can talk to spirits. 393 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,720 So it's really quite exciting. 394 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,720 I see dead people. 395 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,720 That's something else I've always wanted to say, but I can't because I don't. Well, not when I'm sober anyway. 396 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:59,720 But incredibly, it may be because I'm an adult. You see, Faye isn't alone. Millions of other children see dead people too. 397 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:12,720 How? Do they possess a special power, a sixth sense, and is it a gift or a curse? Weird. Or what? 398 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:20,720 Thirteen-year-old Faye Jackson claims she can see ghosts. Do children possess the gift? 399 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:29,720 Who better to ask about children who see ghosts than Karen Goode, author of Children Who See Ghosts? 400 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:37,720 To discover that children see ghosts and talk with ghosts, to me it was exciting. 401 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:46,720 After more than 25 years researching the special abilities of young minds, Goode has reached an incredible conclusion. 402 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:54,720 Children are more predisposed to see ghosts than adults are, primarily because of their brain power. 403 00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:03,720 The sixth sense begins to develop in children between the ages of 18 months, all the way up through five to six years. 404 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,720 And the reason is because their brain is going through a tremendous growth spurt. 405 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:16,720 We've all heard of the sixth sense, but what is it? What does it do that your other five can't? 406 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:25,720 When I discuss with a parent, for example, what is the sixth sense? I explain it to a parent as being intuitive intelligence. 407 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,720 Some people have a heightened intuition, particularly sensitive children. 408 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,720 We call them sensitive because they may be sensitive to the feelings of someone who might be ill. 409 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:48,720 Or one child that I'm aware of used to tell me about he would know a car accident when his mom was driving. 410 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:54,720 He would get nauseated and it always correlated for him with a nearby car accident. 411 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:03,720 So I think that a sixth sense involves feeling and intuition and it could involve heightened sensitivities. 412 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:15,720 But where does this sixth sense come from? Is it a gift only bestowed on some? Remarkably, Goode believes it's an ability that's within us all. 413 00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:23,720 The pineal gland is located within the brain, which actually regulates light within our body. 414 00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:28,720 I believe the pineal gland can be a doorway to the sixth sense. 415 00:34:29,720 --> 00:34:37,720 But if we all have the ability to access our sixth sense, why do so few children maintain this power into adulthood? 416 00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:50,720 Does the hormones change? Children go through brainwave shifts, mood shifts, and that's the time logic develops. 417 00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:55,720 And children may turn away from their intuition, their feelings. 418 00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:04,720 If children have not been encouraged in their imagination, in their conversations, and sixth sense development, 419 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,720 it can shut down when cognition sets in. 420 00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:20,720 Psychic Jack Rourke is an expert in parapsychology. Experience has taught him that a far more mundane explanation may be at work or rather at home. 421 00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:28,720 There is a phenomenon called parentizing, where in essence there's a bit of a role reversal, 422 00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:35,720 where a child can sometimes become the caretaker of the parent or become the mirror to the parent. 423 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:43,720 Rourke believes that through parentizing, children can be actively encouraged to say they see ghosts. 424 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:51,720 The more positive reinforcement a child gets from their parent, that they are special, that they are extra sensitive, 425 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:58,720 that they have special empathic or intuitive abilities, the more the child then believes they're psychic. 426 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,720 And I'll give you an example of how this is done. 427 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:08,720 A child wakes up in the middle of the night from a horrible dream and is talking about ghosts, chasing them, things like this. 428 00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:13,720 You come in as the parent and say, no, you're wrong, that didn't happen. 429 00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:18,720 You lose the ability to comfort the child because they've been made wrong. 430 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:24,720 Now I go into the room, same scenario, and I say, oh, you saw a ghost, didn't you? 431 00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:27,720 Yes. This is how it's done. 432 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:35,720 But why would a child like Faye go along with the idea of seeing ghosts? What's in it for her? 433 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:42,720 The specialness of the child in these circumstances gives the child permission to commiserate with the parent. 434 00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:46,720 They become their emotional partner. They go to activities together. 435 00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:52,720 They may go to certain psychic functions. And this unique relationship becomes a reward to the child. 436 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:59,720 And in order to maintain that closeness with their parent, they have to maintain the psychic identity. 437 00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,720 For the parent, this also gives them passive means to control the child. 438 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:10,720 And also what I've witnessed is a way to slow down their development and prolong their childhood. 439 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:13,720 So this is an interesting thing. One of the things that we look at. 440 00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:18,720 Now, why per se a child might have a specific experience? 441 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,720 It could be biological. It could be an environmental reason. 442 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,720 It could just be an ordinary bad dream. 443 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,720 Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? 444 00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:36,720 Are children who see ghosts merely playing out of fantasy with the encouragement of their parents? 445 00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,720 Is there nothing special about them at all? 446 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:43,720 Does the gift exist in children of all? 447 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:49,720 Thousands of children across the globe claim they can see dead people. 448 00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:55,720 Do they have an extra special sense known as the gift? 449 00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:04,720 Paranormal investigator Joshua P. Warren believes there could be a medical explanation for this phenomenon. 450 00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:17,720 A person like Faye may be capable of seeing ghosts because she has some physiological advantage and her eyeballs themselves. 451 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:22,720 Could Faye's eye have powers the rest of ours don't? 452 00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:29,720 Warren believes her secret may be that she sees light differently. 453 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:36,720 Right now, all the data that we have indicates ghosts are more visible in the infrared realm. 454 00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:42,720 Some of the best ghost images I've seen have been captured using infrared technology. 455 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:51,720 Could Faye be seeing ghosts that are all around us? Ghosts that most of us miss because we can't see infrared? 456 00:38:52,720 --> 00:39:00,720 The average person can only see a relatively narrow band of light from usually around green to red. 457 00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:05,720 Faye might be able to see a little bit more than the rest of us. 458 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:11,720 Scientists call the range of light the visible spectrum, although most of us know it as the colors of the rainbow. 459 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:18,720 But what if Faye was somehow able to literally see what the rest of us can't? 460 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:25,720 In the human eye, there are two primary types of cells. You've got the rod cells and the cone cells. 461 00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:30,720 Rod cells are used for nighttime vision, but they can't see color. 462 00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:36,720 Then you have the cone cells, which respond very quickly and they see color. 463 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:47,720 If Faye has more of those rod or cone cells, especially the cones, that alone might allow her to see a broader range of light. 464 00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,720 The range of colors and frequencies than the average person. 465 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:59,720 Her eyes physiologically allow her to peer deeper into the infrared or ultraviolet realms. 466 00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:10,720 Incredibly, Warren also believes the eye might not just explain Faye's story, but also why children on average report seeing more ghosts than adults. 467 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:17,720 As a person ages, the components of the eye become more and more dense. 468 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,720 In extreme cases, they can become very cloudy and form a cataract. 469 00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:28,720 So the older you get, the less you're able to see when it comes to this band of frequencies. 470 00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:34,720 Children are not only able to see a wider range of frequencies, 471 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:39,720 but they also should have an open mind and open awareness. 472 00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:51,720 They have not been structured so much yet into a belief system and into a task-driven day-to-day routine that gives us tunnel vision as adults. 473 00:40:52,720 --> 00:41:01,720 As children, they still have a wider awareness and perception of what's around them and the willingness to acknowledge honestly what they see. 474 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:10,720 Could Faye and other children like her really be able to see into the infrared world of ghosts? 475 00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,720 Does she have a sixth sense? 476 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:20,720 Or is Faye just a needy kid who wanted her mother's attention and approval? 477 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:23,720 We may never know. 478 00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:26,720 Weird. 479 00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:28,720 Or want. 480 00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:42,720 So there we have it. Ghost stories from around the world. 481 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:51,720 The Californian woman's home plays host to one of the most terrifying paranormal events on record. 482 00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:03,720 In New England, a woman is possessed by an evil spirit so strong even the Catholic Church fails to defeat it. 483 00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:14,720 An emerged teenager can see and talk to ghosts. Is she proof that some children have the gift? 484 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,720 Are these bizarre stories evidence that ghosts exist? 485 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:27,720 Can we see comfort in rational explanations or do we ignore them at our peril? 486 00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:29,720 You decide. 487 00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:36,720 Join me again next time for more stories that will undoubtedly be weird or want.
