good night's sleep all right
00:02:54
you'll never get rosemary says her
00:02:57
encounters with the spirit world were
00:02:58
confusing and very frightening
00:03:02
[Music]
00:03:09
you would call them ghosts but I as a
00:03:11
child I just knew him his faces and
00:03:13
voices which voices would be whispering
00:03:15
whispering at me I would never quite
00:03:17
hear what they would say sometimes they
00:03:19
would call my name it would be very
00:03:21
eerie very ghostly and it was very very
00:03:25
scary I was a terrified child if I cried
00:03:32
out in the night because I was scared my
00:03:35
parents would basically yell at me and I
00:03:39
just was seen to be a bad child put
00:03:43
yourself towards yourself you don't want
00:03:44
to end up like your grandmother to
00:03:46
Rosemary's family had a history of
00:03:49
insanity her grandmother is spent her
00:03:51
last days confined to a mental hospital
00:03:54
you know as children do I learn very
00:03:57
quickly very fast to keep my what was
00:04:00
happening my thoughts my feelings and my
00:04:02
fears to myself and I grew up that way
00:04:06
never daring to tell anyone because my
00:04:09
greatest fear was that they would come
00:04:11
and put me in a straitjacket
00:04:15
rosemary kept her secret for more than
00:04:18
20 years then she met a man who changed
00:04:21
her life he told her she wasn't crazy
00:04:23
she was psychic good now that we're all
00:04:27
here he introduced rosemary to other
00:04:29
psychics and they began helping her
00:04:31
unleash the power within during one
00:04:35
channeling session rosemary says she
00:04:38
learned she had a spirit guide an Apache
00:04:41
shaman named gray eagles most
00:04:43
extraordinary eyes his face his skin is
00:04:49
it's dark and he's here to help me
00:04:53
communicate with other spirits who have
00:04:55
passed on to get messages to family and
00:04:59
friends suddenly everything made sense
00:05:02
it was like walking out of a very dark
00:05:05
tunnel imagined that you are walking in
00:05:08
a dark tunnel with no light for all of
00:05:10
your life and suddenly you discover son
00:05:13
suddenly he discover the sunshine I see
00:05:16
a bird in the distance
00:05:17
Rosemarie decided then and there to
00:05:20
dedicate her life to working with those
00:05:22
who had lost loved ones in 1995 she
00:05:28
published a best-selling book about her
00:05:30
experiences the eagle and the rose it
00:05:38
was at a book signing in New Jersey the
00:05:41
rosemary met a couple named Tony and
00:05:43
Marie I was wondering do you ever speak
00:05:49
at a bereavement groups of course if
00:05:52
you'd like to see my publicist she's
00:05:53
right back there to make all the
00:05:55
arrangements for you thank you oh you
00:05:56
lost a little girl to cancer Oh Lord
00:06:01
look at all this go to Angie point we
00:06:05
all fell off that kind of fell apart
00:06:07
because we couldn't believe it this
00:06:09
woman we had no idea who she was knew
00:06:11
this I'll just take a seat right here
00:06:14
two years earlier Tony and Marie have
00:06:17
lost their three and a half year old
00:06:18
daughter Michelle to leukemia when the
00:06:21
book signing was over
00:06:23
rosemary tried to make contact with
00:06:25
Michelle's spirit she's really happy
00:06:30
that you saved a card there's a special
00:06:34
card that you saved in a draw for her
00:06:36
and the picture that she made that you
00:06:40
have hidden in a box in the closet she's
00:06:42
very pleased you kept those things to
00:06:44
Tony and Marie that message was
00:06:46
startling one of Michelle's favorite
00:06:49
playthings was a valentine card Toni had
00:06:52
given Marie later when Michelle was
00:07:04
hospitalized a therapist helped her make
00:07:06
a flower picture for her parents a piece
00:07:09
of art they still treasure no one except
00:07:13
for my wife my daughter and me are the
00:07:15
only three that knew about the card and
00:07:17
the card in the closet that we kept and
00:07:19
I at that point in time I was absolutely
00:07:22
convinced that this woman has an ability
00:07:25
to speak to people on the other side
00:07:27
she's she's quite adamant about her as
00:07:31
we left the bookstore the biggest
00:07:34
amazement was trying to get over the
00:07:36
shock of everything that just happened
00:07:37
that night I mean I couldn't believe
00:07:40
what happened and upon us discussing it
00:07:44
and talking about it I had a feeling of
00:07:48
so much joy so much peace that I can't
00:07:51
even describe I'm so pleased to be with
00:07:54
all of you and I know Tony and Marie
00:07:57
were members of a bereavement group the
00:07:59
other members were hoping rosemary would
00:08:01
be just as successful at contacting
00:08:03
their loved ones some though harbored
00:08:06
quiet doubts the ability to be able to
00:08:11
be in touch with spirits was very spooky
00:08:13
to me and and I was somewhat taken aback
00:08:17
by someone saying they had the ability
00:08:19
to do that and he's with you all the
00:08:21
time is that your son and as she
00:08:24
progressed around the room she
00:08:26
identifying several people and their
00:08:30
associated child and what the child died
00:08:33
from but the older one she's older than
00:08:35
any of the other children and she was
00:08:36
telling the right stories about the
00:08:38
right people yes and when she got to me
00:08:41
and my wife we were sitting there and
00:08:43
she was saying she looked at us and she
00:08:45
said your child died of a brain tumor
00:08:48
rosemary was right 20 year old Stephanie
00:08:51
bozak had died of a brain tumor in 1994
00:08:55
she asked me to tell you that she has a
00:08:59
scar on her head that's right she's very
00:09:03
happy that you saved a lock of her hair
00:09:06
is it true I did do that and she really
00:09:12
is happy about the statue for you
00:09:15
statue there's a um man with a stick
00:09:19
possibly like a trophy that's it it's a
00:09:23
trophy it's she's very pleased about the
00:09:25
trophy
00:09:26
I want a golf trophy at the Country Club
00:09:28
two nights ago nobody knew about that I
00:09:31
was absolutely flabbergasted and I felt
00:09:35
like I was really connecting with
00:09:37
Stephanie she was there in the room with
00:09:39
us that night and and that pushed me
00:09:43
over the edge that gave me the the
00:09:45
belief that rosemary was doing something
00:09:47
that was real I don't know how rosemary
00:09:51
does what she does and I don't spend a
00:09:53
lot of time trying to figure it out I
00:09:55
think it's something you get a benefit
00:09:57
from and you either accept it or you
00:10:00
reject it and it helps you get through
00:10:03
sometimes she's looking at me very
00:10:06
seriously she says I'm to tell you and
00:10:09
you won't be satisfied with this I have
00:10:11
to warn you now people know given
00:10:16
tremendous hope tremendous hojas I'm
00:10:19
here now they're often given the
00:10:21
stranger than the encouragement to go on
00:10:23
with their lives to live their lives
00:10:25
more positively she says is to just get
00:10:28
on with your lives
00:10:30
and she's asking please will you try I
00:10:33
just have a job to do just like everyone
00:10:38
else
00:10:38
my job just has to just happens to be a
00:10:42
little bit more extraordinary can the
00:10:47
spirits of the Dead return to
00:10:48
communicate with the living skeptic
00:10:51
suggested people who believe they can
00:10:53
are at best indulging and wishful
00:10:55
thinking nevertheless those who've
00:10:57
experienced rosemary Altea 's power are
00:10:59
convinced they have indeed received
00:11:02
messages of love from beyond the grave
00:11:06
coming up if you have a report that
00:11:10
you've seen a UFO you may receive some
00:11:12
unexpected visitors who are the
00:11:14
mysterious men in black but first a
00:11:18
woman's search for her long-lost son
00:11:20
becomes a race against time when she is
00:11:22
diagnosed with a life-threatening
00:11:24
illness
00:11:27
[Music]
00:11:40
sometimes one decision made with the
00:11:42
best of intentions can change our lives
00:11:44
forever that was certainly the case for
00:11:47
fifteen-year-old Bobby page of Idaho
00:11:49
Falls Idaho Scott's last night sleeping
00:11:53
bag
00:11:53
on a warm summer night 1965 Bobby gave
00:11:58
in the youthful desire and the young man
00:12:00
she loved I love you and I want to marry
00:12:06
you
00:12:09
I believe to what he said I believe that
00:12:11
he wanted to marry
00:12:14
[Music]
00:12:16
that night I knew that I was pregnant I
00:12:20
was excited cuz I thought I was getting
00:12:23
married I was very happy I I was very
00:12:27
excited I you know was thinking about
00:12:32
having a wedding and and that this was
00:12:36
my knight in shining armor coming to
00:12:38
rescue me but just two weeks later a
00:12:42
vicious rumor brought Bobbi's romantic
00:12:44
fantasy crashing to the ground word had
00:12:48
it that Bobby's boyfriend was not the
00:12:50
baby's father you lied to me Brad told
00:12:57
me that you're two months pregnant did
00:12:58
you think I was gonna find out I have no
00:13:00
idea what he's talking about and why
00:13:02
would you listen to Brad before you even
00:13:03
listen to me my sister even told me you
00:13:06
cannot get pregnant after having sex
00:13:07
only one time and you don't have morning
00:13:09
sickness after only being pregnant for
00:13:10
two weeks
00:13:11
your sister is crazy and if you don't
00:13:13
believe me we can go to the doctor and
00:13:15
he'll tell you why would I go to the
00:13:16
doctor this has nothing to do it's your
00:13:18
baby
00:13:26
I was very afraid I knew that I was
00:13:33
pregnant and he was leaving me and I
00:13:37
didn't want him to leave I didn't want
00:13:39
him to leave me I felt betrayed nine
00:13:53
months later on the day before Mother's
00:13:55
Day Bobby gave birth to a healthy baby
00:13:57
boy
00:13:58
early on she had made the painful
00:14:00
decision to put her child up for
00:14:02
adoption I knew that I couldn't keep him
00:14:07
there was no way I could keep him and I
00:14:11
I wanted what was best for him and I
00:14:16
knew that that giving you my for
00:14:19
adoption would give him the best chance
00:14:22
at a good life mr. page I am taking over
00:14:26
for your caseworker Bobby had been
00:14:28
sedated when her son was born and now
00:14:30
she desperately wished to see him but
00:14:32
even that proved difficult I'm sorry
00:14:38
that's not allowed my doctor in
00:14:40
caseworker agreed that I would not sign
00:14:41
anything until I saw my baby I'm sorry
00:14:43
it's hospital policy I'm not signing
00:14:45
these in the end
00:14:48
Bobby prevailed but it was a bittersweet
00:14:51
victory that has haunted her ever since
00:14:53
a heart-wrenching joy of seeing her
00:14:56
child for the first time and the last
00:14:59
I wanted him I wanted to take him home
00:15:09
[Music]
00:15:12
he had blue eyes he opened them and
00:15:14
looked at me he was beautiful
00:15:24
it's time to go I was just totally
00:15:32
emotionally drained after that I was I
00:15:35
sobbed all the way back to the room I
00:15:37
don't think I quit sobbing four weeks
00:15:40
after that but I signed the papers I
00:15:46
could I don't think I could even see
00:15:47
what I was signing I just said where do
00:15:50
you want me to sign and I signed it
00:15:52
first thank you miss page Barbie
00:16:03
eventually married and had three more
00:16:05
children but she never forgot the son
00:16:08
she left behind in 1984 when he turned
00:16:13
18
00:16:13
Bobby traveled to the adoption center
00:16:15
that had handled the case Bobby thought
00:16:18
she could now gain access to her son's
00:16:20
records and find out where he was he's
00:16:23
18
00:16:24
well I'm sorry I don't know where you
00:16:26
heard that information um unfortunately
00:16:28
once the records are sealed we cannot
00:16:31
open them no matter what the child's age
00:16:32
is so there's really nothing we can show
00:16:36
you although we can't have you fill out
00:16:39
a letter and if he ever comes to us
00:16:42
looking for information about his birth
00:16:43
mother well then we can show him this
00:16:45
information and then maybe he can
00:16:48
contact you Bobby wrote the letter and
00:16:51
spent the next several years waiting for
00:16:53
her son to answer he never did
00:16:56
then in 1993 a tragic series of events
00:17:00
turned Bobby's search into a desperate
00:17:02
race against time Bobby was diagnosed
00:17:06
with chronic active autoimmune hepatitis
00:17:08
a rare genetic disorder in which her own
00:17:12
antibodies attack and will eventually
00:17:14
destroy her liver Bobby was told she had
00:17:17
at most ten years to live there is no
00:17:21
cure for chronic active autoimmune
00:17:23
hepatitis the advantage of finding Bob
00:17:26
at Sun now would be that if he did have
00:17:29
the disease he could be treated early
00:17:33
prevent liver damage and extend his life
00:17:36
quite a lot since the diagnosis Bobby
00:17:41
has stepped up her search with a full
00:17:43
support of her other three children who
00:17:45
all run the risk of inheriting her
00:17:47
disorder I want to see her happy I want
00:17:53
to see her enjoy you know this this time
00:17:57
that she has left and I think that
00:17:59
finding my older brother would would do
00:18:02
that for a lot can happen in 30 years
00:18:07
her curiosities range from everything to
00:18:10
what is he doing with his life now in
00:18:13
terms of career you know how was his
00:18:16
home life everything like that was it
00:18:18
everything she had hoped it would have
00:18:19
been by giving it up for adoption in
00:18:22
order to provide a better life for him
00:18:25
what I want is to let him know that I
00:18:29
love him and I've always loved him and
00:18:33
that I loved him from day one that I
00:18:39
always cared about him
00:18:41
that I wanted the very best for him and
00:18:45
that my hope is that he's had a
00:18:47
wonderful life when we return no one
00:19:05
knows why Blair Adams left his home in
00:19:07
Canada and why he turned up dead in
00:19:09
Tennessee was he running from a killer
00:19:11
or from his own personal demons and
00:19:14
later
00:19:15
dozens of people claim they've
00:19:17
encountered the so-called men in black
00:19:19
are they secret government operatives
00:19:21
assigned to investigate UFOs or do they
00:19:24
come from a place beyond space and time
00:19:29
[Music]
00:19:34
[Music]
00:19:41
strangers found him half dressed and
00:19:44
battered in a parking lot on a gray July
00:19:46
morning in 1996 scattered around the
00:19:51
body was a mix of German Canadian and US
00:19:53
currency totaling some four thousand
00:19:55
dollars his wallet was in touch and his
00:19:58
contents identified him as 31 year old
00:20:01
Blair Adams of Surrey British Columbia
00:20:02
in Western Canada every aspect of this
00:20:07
case is mysterious there's no logical
00:20:10
explanation for anything he did we can't
00:20:13
say for a fact that this is why he did
00:20:16
that because there's there's no
00:20:18
explanation for it we cannot come up
00:20:20
with a motive a motive for this man to
00:20:23
be dead we can't come up for reasoning
00:20:25
for him to be here we can't come up for
00:20:27
a reason for him to leave Canada nobody
00:20:29
knew he was gonna take his trip nobody
00:20:33
this is an actual whodunit the
00:20:40
investigation has not stalled for lack
00:20:41
of evidence as Blair Adams wandered the
00:20:44
continent left indelible impressions on
00:20:46
everyone he met authorities have now
00:20:49
been able to reconstruct his baffling
00:20:51
3,000 mile journey an exhaustive detail
00:20:53
but still no one knows why Blair left
00:20:56
home or why he ended up in Knoxville
00:20:58
Tennessee
00:20:59
no one knows whether Blair Adams was
00:21:01
running from a killer or if he was just
00:21:04
running from himself
00:21:08
prior to his mysterious death Blair
00:21:11
Adams was a foreman with a construction
00:21:13
company in Surrey British Columbia those
00:21:15
who knew him say Blair liked his work
00:21:17
and did it well Blair did seem to have a
00:21:21
normal life he had many friends he had a
00:21:25
job he traveled on occasion had a
00:21:30
history of several different girlfriends
00:21:33
was well-liked by virtually everyone
00:21:35
that we've had contact with
00:21:38
however in the summer of 1996 Blair's
00:21:41
cheery demeanor began to crack and
00:21:43
buckle now his mood swung unpredictably
00:21:46
from agitated paranoia to pensive
00:21:48
withdrawal something wasn't obviously
00:21:52
very much matter
00:21:54
he hadn't been sleeping well something
00:21:58
was wrong I asked him numerous times
00:22:01
what was wrong and he said oh I don't
00:22:05
think I should tell you about it and to
00:22:11
this day I don't know what it is
00:22:14
whatever trouble was brewing in Blair's
00:22:17
life began to boil up on Friday July 5th
00:22:19
he withdrew his savings and emptied his
00:22:22
safe-deposit box of more than six
00:22:24
thousand dollars in cash and thousands
00:22:26
more in jewelry gold and platinum it was
00:22:29
a first stop on a dead-end run to
00:22:31
Tennessee the next stop was a Canadian
00:22:37
American border on Sunday Blair made the
00:22:40
first of several attempts to enter the
00:22:41
United States as he would so often in
00:22:44
the last days of his life Blair left a
00:22:46
lasting impression
00:22:47
where're you going boss yeah can you
00:22:51
step out of the car
00:22:53
I see some ID as an unmarried young man
00:22:58
carrying a large amount of cash
00:23:00
Blair fit the profile of a drug
00:23:01
trafficker he was refused entry the next
00:23:07
day Monday Blair showed up at his job
00:23:10
without not to work I need to quit my
00:23:12
job why it some time tell you my check
00:23:17
Blair's erratic behavior continued that
00:23:20
afternoon he spent $1,600 on a
00:23:23
round-trip airline ticket from Vancouver
00:23:25
Canada to Frankfurt Germany his flight
00:23:27
would leave the following day but just
00:23:32
hours after buying the ticket to Germany
00:23:34
Blair was again desperate to get into
00:23:36
the United States he showed up at a
00:23:38
friend's house in a panic okay I'm sorry
00:23:43
to come by so late planning to help I
00:23:44
really need you to help me it's almost
00:23:46
1:00 I need you to take me to the border
00:23:47
take you to the border it's the middle
00:23:49
of the night I just I just need you to
00:23:51
drive I got a car I can't leave my kids
00:23:55
hey somebody's trying to kill me
00:23:58
oh yeah yeah Blair provided no details
00:24:01
about the death threat his friend was
00:24:03
unable to take him over the border okay
00:24:06
forget about sorry to bother you on
00:24:10
Tuesday Blair went to the Vancouver
00:24:12
Airport is scheduled but instead of
00:24:15
boarding the plane for Germany he turned
00:24:17
in his tickets rented a car and headed
00:24:19
back to the border
00:24:20
this time he managed to slip through
00:24:25
Blair was in Seattle by 4:00 p.m. he
00:24:28
left his rental car a Nissan at the
00:24:30
airport and bought a one-way ticket to
00:24:32
Washington DC the one-way ticket was odd
00:24:36
because he paid about 770 dollars for a
00:24:40
one-way ticket when he could have
00:24:41
purchased a roundtrip ticket for
00:24:43
approximately 350 or $400 so would have
00:24:46
been half the price for a roundtrip
00:24:48
ticket as he paid for a one-way ticket
00:24:51
it just seemed very unusual after
00:24:57
arriving in DC early Wednesday morning
00:24:59
Blair rented a white Toyota and
00:25:01
continued his peculiar Odyssey now he
00:25:03
was headed to Knoxville more than 500
00:25:06
miles to the southwest
00:25:08
his travel was on launch school in
00:25:12
itself I mean why go to DC to turn
00:25:14
around to come back to Knoxville he had
00:25:17
no business or no reason to be in East
00:25:20
Tennessee he had no miss or no reason
00:25:22
being in Knoxville everything we can
00:25:25
find out he knows no one in East
00:25:26
Tennessee or the eastern United States
00:25:32
Blair was first seen in Knoxville around
00:25:34
5:30 that afternoon
00:25:41
this can't be your cake yeah that's my
00:25:44
cake well this is a Nissan King yeah
00:25:46
well this is a Toyota so well it won't
00:25:49
start it well that's the cab and use it
00:25:52
[Music]
00:25:53
are you sure so the mechanics is okay
00:25:59
empty out your pockets and let's look
00:26:00
for it he empties out all his pockets
00:26:02
there is no key to the Toyota lawyer was
00:26:06
stranded in Knoxville until morning when
00:26:08
he could get a new key from his rental
00:26:10
car company a mechanic drove briar to a
00:26:12
nearby hotel where he once again made an
00:26:15
unforgettable impression this time on
00:26:17
the desk clerk best way to describe
00:26:20
would be paranoid he just was very
00:26:23
nervous
00:26:24
agitated expecting someone to come in on
00:26:27
him even though there wasn't anybody
00:26:28
there I don't know who he was looking
00:26:31
for but he was waiting for somebody to
00:26:32
walk in for him perhaps Blair was being
00:26:36
followed perhaps the only thought so the
00:26:39
hotel security camera shows it in the
00:26:41
space of an hour he went in and out of
00:26:44
the lobby five times before finally
00:26:46
paying for a room
00:26:47
[Music]
00:26:48
we can only assume that something was
00:26:52
wrong with his thought process he wasn't
00:26:56
acting rationally after checking in
00:27:00
Blair pocketed the key but instead of
00:27:03
going to his room he marched out the
00:27:04
front door and never came back it was
00:27:07
7:30 7:00 p.m. and it was the last time
00:27:10
Blair Adams was known to be alive
00:27:12
[Music]
00:27:16
12 hours later Blair's body was found in
00:27:19
a parking lot about a half-mile from his
00:27:21
hotel he was naked from the waist down
00:27:24
Blair's death was as enigmatic as the
00:27:27
last few days of his life his pants were
00:27:31
removed in a way not like someone would
00:27:34
take their own pants off but in a way
00:27:36
that someone else would remove your
00:27:39
pants from you in a pulling motion where
00:27:41
his pants were turned inside out his
00:27:44
socks were turned inside out his shoes
00:27:46
were off and his shirt was ripped open
00:27:50
$4,000 an American Canadian and German
00:27:52
currency was strewn around Blair's buddy
00:27:54
another $2,000 worth of jewelry gold and
00:27:58
platinum was found inside a small pack
00:28:01
and there was one other perplexing clue
00:28:05
the key to Blair's Toyota had suddenly
00:28:07
reappeared about 10 feet from his body
00:28:12
we start looking at angle maybe a drug
00:28:15
deal gone by it that didn't pan out we
00:28:18
start thinking about robbery robbery
00:28:19
wasn't meat they first thought of you
00:28:21
throw it away because all the money's
00:28:22
still there we tried to find anything in
00:28:26
his background that would have led us to
00:28:28
believe that he frequent with
00:28:30
prostitutes or that he have even had any
00:28:33
homosexual experiences you know anything
00:28:36
to explain how he was found the way he
00:28:39
was found we found nothing according to
00:28:43
the autopsy report Blair had sustained
00:28:45
numerous cuts and abrasions police
00:28:48
believe some of the wounds came from
00:28:49
fending off an attack Blair was
00:28:52
ultimately killed by a violent blow that
00:28:54
ruptured his stomach somebody's trying
00:28:59
to kill me although Blair had been
00:29:01
adamant that his life was in danger
00:29:02
affine authorities now believe the
00:29:04
threat was imaginary and that Blair's
00:29:06
bizarre pilgrimage was a wild flight
00:29:08
from his own inner demons and yet
00:29:11
somehow at the end of the road
00:29:13
Blair Addams wound up dead just as he
00:29:16
had feared
00:29:17
I won't glare back I want him well and
00:29:24
healthy I want him to knock on the front
00:29:27
door and come in but obviously that's
00:29:31
not going to happen I don't know you
00:29:35
know Blair is dead and it would be nice
00:29:40
to to have some understanding of why he
00:29:43
died Boyer Adams was killed on July 11th
00:29:47
1996 near interstate highway 40 and
00:29:50
Knoxville authorities believe the fatal
00:29:53
attack occurred at around 3:30 a.m.
00:29:55
[Music]
00:30:10
never underestimate the power of prayer
00:30:13
a simple expression of faith that is in
00:30:16
do it for centuries a testament to the
00:30:19
timeless belief or through spiritual
00:30:21
devotion anything is possible even
00:30:24
miracles both great and small
00:30:30
it was a summer of 1995 Linda Gordon a
00:30:34
divorced mother of four was living in
00:30:36
Sacketts Harbor New York at the time
00:30:39
Linda was longing to meet a man she
00:30:41
could love a man she could marry I was
00:30:46
sitting outside my front porch and I was
00:30:48
reading my Bible and I glanced up and I
00:30:51
saw a man jogging three months earlier I
00:30:56
had written in my prayer journal that I
00:30:58
was felt I was ready for a husband and
00:31:01
that if God wanted me to have one to
00:31:03
send him to my door and then I called
00:31:05
all my friends and family and said I'm
00:31:06
praying for a husband and they laughed
00:31:08
and said that the only guy I was going
00:31:10
to marry that came to my door would be
00:31:12
the pizza guy
00:31:16
but this guy was not delivering anything
00:31:19
in fact he was searching for love just
00:31:22
like Linda I'm David Chiu black nice to
00:31:29
meet you
00:31:30
yeah nice to meet you David was a major
00:31:32
in the Army on temporary assignment at
00:31:34
nearby Fort Drum I've seen you sitting
00:31:36
here before I just felt a warm glow and
00:31:40
then goosebumps on top of that and a
00:31:42
voice spoke to my heart and said this is
00:31:45
the man you've been praying for
00:31:50
four bulls Linda and David it was
00:31:52
literally a match made in heaven
00:31:54
four months later they were married just
00:31:56
hours before David shipped out to
00:31:58
Louisiana for six weeks but their
00:32:01
married life together didn't begin until
00:32:03
late November when Linda joined David at
00:32:05
Fort Huachuca in Arizona
00:32:07
[Music]
00:32:11
six days later david set off on his
00:32:13
usual morning run his route took him to
00:32:16
the far reaches of the base where the
00:32:20
sidewalk ended david began running along
00:32:22
the shoulder of the road he was headed
00:32:24
east directly into a blinding sun
00:32:28
[Music]
00:32:35
[Applause]
00:32:41
[Music]
00:32:46
David had been struck full-force by a
00:32:49
car traveling at 52 miles an hour
00:32:51
he was catapulted some 60 feet through
00:32:54
the air and landed headfirst on the
00:32:56
pavement david had suffered several
00:33:03
massive skull fracture broken both his
00:33:05
legs and his left arm within hours he
00:33:08
was airlifted to the University Medical
00:33:10
Center in Tucson we've inserted the
00:33:13
shunt and have increased his
00:33:14
barbiturates history blacks in a cranial
00:33:17
pressure has continued to increase
00:33:18
shortly after his admission to the
00:33:20
intensive care unit the normal functions
00:33:23
of his brain just obviously we're
00:33:24
stopping his we usually start becoming
00:33:27
worried about patients intracranial
00:33:29
pressure once it gets over level of 15
00:33:32
to 20 millimetres and sustained for that
00:33:34
level major xu black's intracranial
00:33:37
pressure was really three to four times
00:33:39
what we normally would consider a
00:33:42
survivable intracranial pressure in an
00:33:44
individual
00:33:45
[Music]
00:33:49
that pressure was causing David's brain
00:33:51
to swell uncontrollably dr. Smith told
00:33:54
Linda there was little hope for his
00:33:56
recovery
00:33:58
I felt like I was being sucked down a
00:34:01
drain and I wasn't gonna allow that to
00:34:03
happen I wasn't gonna lose hope and I
00:34:07
wasn't going to accept the negativity
00:34:10
that the doctor was saying even though
00:34:11
it was true medical science after five
00:34:16
days the time came for Linda and David's
00:34:19
family to make a heart-wrenching
00:34:20
decision David is clinically brain-dead
00:34:25
you and your family have three options
00:34:27
you can leave him in the hospital and
00:34:29
maintain life support you can take him
00:34:32
home with you on life support or since
00:34:35
he indicated he wished to be an organ
00:34:37
donor you can sign the papers harvest
00:34:40
his organs I had to get spiritually
00:34:42
radical because things were getting very
00:34:46
intense and I had a lot of pressure on
00:34:48
me through various people and it's not
00:34:51
an it's not a negative thing but here
00:34:53
was a organ donor and there are people
00:34:56
that need organs and I totally agree
00:34:58
with that but I couldn't sign the
00:35:00
harvest the Oregon papers if I knew in
00:35:02
my heart that David wasn't dead
00:35:06
Linda once again turned to the Bible for
00:35:08
inspiration she was immediately drawn to
00:35:11
the story of Lazarus according to the
00:35:14
Bible Jesus brought Lazarus back to life
00:35:17
after he had been dead for four days
00:35:19
Linda prayed that God would do the same
00:35:22
for David and Jesus said he who
00:35:25
believeth in me though he were dead
00:35:28
shall still live and who ever liveth and
00:35:31
believeth in me shall never die
00:35:34
believeth Dallas
00:35:37
I did all I knew how to do spiritually
00:35:41
medical science couldn't save David they
00:35:44
said he was dead money couldn't save
00:35:46
David only God could save David a few
00:35:55
hours later dr. Smith went in to check
00:35:57
on David's vital signs I was amazed when
00:36:01
I examined him that instead of maybe one
00:36:03
or two primitive reflexes he actually
00:36:05
opened his eyes and started to look
00:36:06
around
00:36:09
[Music]
00:36:12
David you hear me
00:36:14
very quite eerie and certainly out of
00:36:16
the ordinary it was not something that
00:36:19
we expected to say it's rather gave me
00:36:21
chills up and down my spine when I saw
00:36:23
this when Linda returned to the hospital
00:36:26
David's father was waiting with the
00:36:28
astonishing news Linda now don't get
00:36:34
your hopes up but there was a flicker of
00:36:36
response when the doctors checked David
00:36:39
this morning that wasn't a flicker that
00:36:40
was the flame of God talked to David we
00:36:44
need to see if he'll respond to commands
00:36:46
Linda was convinced that David's life
00:36:48
signs were the miracle she had prayed
00:36:50
for a modern day parallel to the story
00:36:53
of Lazarus
00:36:54
[Music]
00:36:56
sweetheart it's me can you move your
00:36:59
left hand David
00:37:04
[Music]
00:37:08
I knew that David wasn't going to die
00:37:12
because when I met David God spoke to my
00:37:15
heart and said this is the man I'm
00:37:16
giving you and you will have a long life
00:37:18
together serving me Dave and I had only
00:37:21
been married six days and that's not a
00:37:23
long life together so I knew that he
00:37:27
wasn't going to die to me it was just
00:37:31
waking up from asleep that's all it was
00:37:34
it was just coming back into contact
00:37:38
literally with life but I remember
00:37:40
nothing else it was just like I woke up
00:37:43
from a nap incredibly just three months
00:37:47
after he was all but given up for dead
00:37:49
David Shu black was discharged from the
00:37:51
hospital he has since made a complete
00:37:54
recovery a recovery that still has his
00:37:57
doctors grappling for answers I have
00:38:00
never seen someone survived the pressure
00:38:04
this high the fact that he returned to
00:38:06
normal function after that is remarkable
00:38:08
is it a miracle very may well have been
00:38:15
[Applause]
00:38:17
[Music]
00:38:20
how can we explain david Shu blacks
00:38:23
remarkable come back from the brink of
00:38:25
death is it luck or perhaps as a shoe
00:38:28
blocks believe divine intervention
00:38:30
ascribed to the power of prayer I'm
00:38:35
truly amazed every day at what happened
00:38:39
to me there's no way that a person
00:38:41
cannot be amazed that absolutely none
00:38:45
Linda proves what moving a mountain to
00:38:47
calls for determination in faith is will
00:38:53
do all things next meet the men in black
00:39:01
they arrived without warning losing
00:39:04
power and intimidation their origins are
00:39:06
a mystery
00:39:07
their mission unknown
00:39:09

00:39:20
the men in black one of the most
00:39:22
perplexing mysteries we've ever come
00:39:24
across cloaked in secrecy they show up
00:39:27
without warning state their business
00:39:29
then vanish as quickly as they appeared
00:39:31
no knows who the men in black are where
00:39:34
they come from or who they represent
00:39:36
there's no real proof that they even
00:39:39
exist but hundreds of eyewitness
00:39:41
accounts give us good cause to
00:39:43
investigate this most unusual phenomenon
00:39:50
meet reimu news of austin texas Rae owns
00:39:53
and operates his own auto tinting shop
00:39:55
on the outskirts of town a rather
00:39:58
ordinary job for a man who claims to
00:40:00
have had several extraordinary
00:40:02
experiences since he was nine ray says
00:40:06
he's had five separate encounters with
00:40:07
UFOs as a result gray has now become a
00:40:11
sort of local celebrity because of all
00:40:15
the experiences that I have or have had
00:40:17
I thought it necessary for me to start
00:40:20
looking into all of this so I started
00:40:23
this show here in Austin is KITT local
00:40:25
cable access show called Project UFO
00:40:29
every week ray speaks to other people
00:40:31
who say they've had first-hand alien
00:40:33
encounters in June of 1996 one of rays
00:40:37
viewers sent him this home video which
00:40:39
supposedly shows an unidentified
00:40:41
spacecraft in the sky over Georgetown
00:40:44
Texas and on the video you can see a
00:40:50
radio station tower which has three red
00:40:53
lights on it right next to this tower is
00:40:55
this huge UFO was just hovering there
00:40:58
like parked several days after he
00:41:03
received the tape ray says some
00:41:05
unexpected visitors showed up at his
00:41:07
shop they were dressed in black suits
00:41:10
black ties the black glasses the whole
00:41:13
nine yards
00:41:20
yes I have a summons a summons
00:41:25
Internal Revenue Service I'm being
00:41:28
audited
00:41:30
just show up
00:41:34
[Music]
00:41:36
I showed the paper to my worker just for
00:41:39
a moment because it looked official and
00:41:41
everything well I walked back out to see
00:41:44
where they had gone to and there wasn't
00:41:47
anything out there there was no time for
00:41:50
them to drive away in a car or walk away
00:41:53
it was very strange
00:41:56
not wanting to take any chances
00:41:58
ray hurry to the downtown address listed
00:42:01
on the summons there he claims he
00:42:03
encountered another man in black
00:42:05
I took my box of my papers and
00:42:08
everything all my tax stuff and I laid
00:42:10
it down the guys desk just said well
00:42:12
here it is
00:42:13
he looked at me and said okay thank you
00:42:15
you can leave now I said excuse me he
00:42:20
said thank you you can leave now and I
00:42:23
said aren't you gonna look at my stuff
00:42:24
he said no thank you you can leave now
00:42:29
gray says he returned home to find his
00:42:31
video collection ransacked he now
00:42:34
believes this was the reason for his
00:42:36
visit from the men in black they wanted
00:42:40
me a certain place at a certain time so
00:42:43
they could go to my house and look for
00:42:45
that tape they didn't find the tape I
00:42:47
still have the tape so it's either
00:42:51
something that was government that they
00:42:54
didn't want people to know about some
00:42:55
new aircraft or it was a UFO that they
00:42:59
don't want people to know about the men
00:43:03
in black may be either a human
00:43:07
intelligence operatives working from
00:43:09
deep level black book projects that's
00:43:12
their entire agenda is to silence UFO
00:43:14
witnesses and experiencers to relating
00:43:17
to the public what they may have
00:43:18
encountered
00:43:20
there are also I believe men and black
00:43:23
that are non-human in origin who have
00:43:29
taken upon themselves the job in order
00:43:32
to do the same thing that the human men
00:43:34
in black are in other words to silence
00:43:36
or to control the output of information
00:43:38
regarding the UFO phenomenon I was
00:43:41
feeling frightened I was I was concerned
00:43:46
for my safety I felt a little bit
00:43:49
harassed if you can put it that way and
00:43:52
I did not know what to expect so I I was
00:43:56
on guard
00:43:58
Colette Peters of San Juan Capistrano
00:44:01
California is a highly accomplished
00:44:03
figure skater who has garnered several
00:44:04
national awards collect claims that
00:44:07
during her life she's had two UFO
00:44:09
experiences and one unnerving encounter
00:44:12
with a man in black who she is certain
00:44:15
was something other than a man when I
00:44:19
was approximately 19 or 20 I was in New
00:44:22
York City walking down one of the main
00:44:24
avenues and I started to encounter a
00:44:27
very very bizarre feeling it was pure
00:44:30
evil and when I when I looked up what I
00:44:35
saw was a very tall lanky man walking
00:44:39
towards me but he seemed out of place
00:44:41
and quite odd his skin to me did not
00:44:45
look normal
00:44:45
you couldn't see any facial hair or if
00:44:48
he had shaved or any imperfections it
00:44:50
was a smooth shiny plastic looking jaw
00:44:55
seemed to fit the criteria of what
00:44:59
people call the men in black the only
00:45:02
difference is in my case they did not
00:45:04
directly come up and threaten me I don't
00:45:09
feel that he had conveyed any message to
00:45:11
me except except by the presence that he
00:45:15
kept the the sinister evil nature that
00:45:20
generated from him is the only way I
00:45:21
could really describe it I think people
00:45:24
have had genuine experiences which are
00:45:26
anomalous and unusual it does not mean
00:45:30
however that I think that they are
00:45:33
extraterrestrials that are telling them
00:45:35
to be quiet about something or what have
00:45:37
you
00:45:37
it in my opinion they are disinformation
00:45:41
agents using a combination of physical
00:45:44
alteration of their appearance with some
00:45:46
of these electronics and these are
00:45:49
electronic systems which have been
00:45:51
reverse-engineered from extraterrestrial
00:45:54
devices and it is intended to simply set
00:45:58
people off from from looking in the
00:46:00
direction of what's really going on with
00:46:02
the UFO or extraterrestrial issue
00:46:06
there's of course another possibility
00:46:09
skeptics have said that the men in black
00:46:11
are merely the product of a few
00:46:13
overactive imaginations
00:46:18
I'm a got a touch it feel it see it to
00:46:22
type of person I was there I saw I felt
00:46:27
you know I mean why would I put my life
00:46:31
in danger for a lie I don't feel that it
00:46:35
could have been a figment in my
00:46:36
imagination because of the physicality
00:46:39
of it the feelings that I felt I'm not
00:46:42
talking about emotional feelings I'm
00:46:44
talking about the hair actually raising
00:46:46
up on your skin it it was quite unique
00:46:50
it was something I'll never forget
00:46:58
we asked the Air Force in the Department
00:47:01
of Defense if there were covert units
00:47:02
had fit the mo of the men in black the
00:47:05
Air Force issued a blanket deny the
00:47:08
Department of Defense said we've never
00:47:09
heard of such a thing
00:47:10
then added you might try the Air Force
00:47:13
