| 0:00.0 | On September 4, 1969, Nina Twig and her husband Harry was sitting in their front room with a close friend, |
| 0:21.8 | canon John Pierce Higgins, when suddenly a voice told Ena to turn on her tape recorder. |
| 0:29.6 | Ina was a clairvoyant. |
| 0:31.7 | She did so and then found herself going into trance. |
| 0:35.7 | The voice she had been hearing then began to speak through |
| 0:39.0 | her. It was the voice of Bishop James Pike, her good friend, who had been missing for seven |

| 2:01.6 | When Pike found out, he agreed to let his son use the drugs in the safety of his university digs, |
| 2:09.6 | in order, in Pike's mind, that it would stop Jim going out and searching for drugs in less salubrious surroundings. |
| 2:19.3 | When father and son returned to America, Pike believed they'd grown much closer, |
