| 1:02.0 | And the true story of an event that rocked the world of psychiatry and brought the subject of reincarnation, rocketing to the surface of public consciousness in 1956. |
| 1:13.0 | When the spirit of a 19th century Irish woman named Bridget Kathleen Murphy, nicknamed Brighty, poured hours of her life story into six long recording sessions with an amateur hypnotist. |
| 1:27.0 | All given to us by a Pueblo Colorado mother and housewife who volunteered for hypnosis, sought no public attention and who had never been to Ireland. |
| 1:38.0 | That story becoming a million-seller book and blockbuster movie in 1956 called The Search for Brighty Murphy. |
| 1:46.0 | And what a search it was and has been. The subject of reincarnation is a very sensitive one to certain sectors of organized religion. |
| 1:55.0 | It's also a subject which is debated hotly by believers and non-believers and treated with caution and fear by many who choose not to discuss it. |

| 3:02.0 | This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone. |
| 3:14.0 | The year was 1942. It was a cocktail party at someone's home in Pueblo, Colorado. |
| 3:21.0 | There were a few dozen people there just having a nice time talking, mixing, having fun. |
| 3:27.0 | The men were wearing mostly business casual, the ladies dresses. People generally dressed nice in those days, even for casual get-togethers. |
| 3:37.0 | Morrie Bernstein was a young businessman, successful, smart, and well respected. His wife Hazel, pretty, smart, a devoted wife and housewife, and in the days before the term domestic partner came into being. |
