Just as he does with Taryn Kreve, quite often the Hopi Indian 'Barking Tree' chooses to speak through me, but usually it is the medieval warrior 'Farting Ass' that selects me as his medium of choice. Unfortunately, rather than me being able to summon him when I want to, Farting Ass usually chooses to speak through me abruptly and without warning.
Oh sweet Christ, Part 3 was cringe worthy. The magic shop owner talking about her discharge finger, and the channeling psychic. WOW. I don't even understand how anyone could be taken in by something THAT stupid. I don't think that would trick even a kid with downs. -.-
Thorough investigation, and enjoyable viewing. I especially liked the accounts of Knock and Ballinspittle.Grottos still proliferate here in Ireland, and the claims associated with them.
great presentation. shame it never fully caught on. I am about as old as the children from the classroom footage. Always fun to see classroom footage from the 80s.
Wow, some convincing evidence for the Enfield poltergeist...LOL. Unreal.

Great to see Carl Sagan towards the end of this fascinating documentary. Thanks for posting. ( I'm sure I saw this when it was first aired in 1987)

Sagan shows himself to be a honest man who made his mark by improving our the human condition through understanding
By contrast, Uri Geller the worst of charlatans, dependent for his life on lying to his fellow man.

@NKHumphrey If they signed consent previous to allowing themselves to be filmed, there is nothing they couldve done.
