(The Texas Killing Fields) *** While modern scientists are busy finding proof of a fourth dimension, ancient people recorded curious events that indicate the existence of another dimension that we are unaware of. (Ancient Accounts of a Fourth Dimension) *** A brother and sister are frightened by what they thought was their father – until they looked up at him… or it. (The Shadow Man) *** Just a few hours outside of Melbourne is a former lunatic asylum – now used as a conference center. But the lunatics remain in ghostly form. (The Beechwood Lunatic Asylum) *** In 1943 the U.S. Navy purportedly teleported a ship from Philadelphia to Norfolk, and also made it invisible at the same time. Many believe The Philadelphia Experiment was a hoax, others believe it did happen and is being covered up. What is the real story? (The Real Story Behind The Philadelphia Experiment) *** AND MORE!
