7:37 pm
gender recognition certificate. we would argue that if you analyse the law in round analyse the law in the round that clear that it means that it's clear that it means sex for example , it sex because, for example, it says things like we're only one sex needs that facility and it gives an example of cervical smear definition of smear tests as the definition of sex is used for the definition of sexual orientation, which sex is used for the definition of se not orientation, which sex is used for the definition of se not involve tion, which sex is used for the definition of se not involve bits which sex is used for the definition of se not involve bits ofiich sex is used for the definition of se not involve bits of paper. does not involve bits of paper. but before christmas there was a legal judgement in scotland that suggested it was really sex as modified by a gender recognition certificate. sorry for the mouthful. it's it's mouthful. it's no, but it's embe— mouthful. it's no, but it's eubbe-b- mouthful. it's no, but it's quite-i think- mouthful. it's no, but it'sj quite-i think it's quite common. i think it's eeebbv— quite common. i think it's eeebbv-bbeb- quite common. i think it's- really _that.clarify really important that we clarify why— really important that we clarify wby bbbe— really important that we clarify why this important because why this is important because the why this is important because bee-beb— why this is important because bbe-aeb be— why this is important because the act is necessary, the equality act is necessary, bee-b— the equality act is necessary, bee-b-beebeeb— the equality act is necessary, isn't protect certain isn't it, to protect certain ebebbe— isn't it, to protect certain ebebbe be— isn't it, to protect certain rights for sex— isn't it, to protect certain rights for sex based rights for se bb— rights for sex based rights for women. so if there is any kind of women. so if there is any kind eb eeebbeebbv— women. so if there is any kind of ambiguity about what the word sex of ambiguity about what the word bb— of ambiguity about what the word sex means, it kind— of ambiguity about what the word sex means, it kind of negates bbeb. — sex means, it kind of negates bbeb. se— sex means, it kind of negates bbeb. se ee— sex means, it kind of negates that. so sex only- sex means, it kind of negates that. so sex only has two possible meanings in any law in british law, because there is no self—id here. it either means sex, really sex. the thing that you were conceived, the thing that was registered on your birth or it means the birth cert or it means the thing that's modified gender that's modified by a gender recognition certificate. and there's of them in the there's only 5000 of them in the wild. it really doesn't mean,
7:38 pm
wild. so it really doesn't mean, for that men can go for example, that men can go into women's toilets changing into women's toilets or changing rooms whatever rooms or dormitories or whatever and oh, look, i'm and just say, oh, look, i'm a woman. but once you introduce that bit of as that tiny bit of doubt as to what this word you make what this word means, you make it to rely on the law. it very hard to rely on the law. if you are a service provider or an employer or something like that. that's been very that. and that's been very cleverly by stonewall that. and that's been very clev all by stonewall that. and that's been very clev all the by stonewall that. and that's been very clev all the other by stonewall that. and that's been very clev all the other peoplevnewall that. and that's been very clev all the other people whoall that. and that's been very clev all the other people who are and all the other people who are trying to convince us all that sex or it's not sex is a spectrum or it's not real, or that trans women are women, of those other women, or any of those other slogans. so this is the slogans. and so this is the start of regaining owning the language we need the language that we need and the clarity that in law in clarity that we need in law in order that we can have single sex services and people sex services and protect people against discrimination. so, against sex discrimination. so, heather, want bring you ; i“ so, heather, want bring you in heather, i want to bring you in beee.— heather, i want to bring you in beee. se— heather, i want to bring you in beee. se vbeb— heather, i want to bring you in here. so what do— heather, i want to bring you in here. so what do you to your eeeb— here. so what do you to your eebeeb eeb— here. so what do you to your ebb and be— here. so what do you to your mind and to the— here. so what do you to your mind and to the mind of the vveeeee-e— mind and to the mind of the women's rights— mind and to the mind of the women's rights network, what are the women's rights network, what are bee-beee?— women's rights network, what are the-here? what— women's rights network, what are the-here? what are- women's rights network, what are the here? what are the the risks here? what are the ebebee— the risks here? what are the stakes—comes. the risks here? what are thei stakes—comes to the risks here? what are the- stakes_comes to the stakes here when it comes to the beuebbbv— stakes here when it comes to the beeebbbv-vvebb— stakes here when it comes to the equality _well,-sex. equality act? well, same sex care, instance , is if we all care, for instance, is if we all think of your mother or your grandmother knitting and my own mother , who had dementia and mother, who had dementia and needed same sex care , it needed needed same sex care, it needed intimate care and i happened to
7:39 pm
be there at the house when a young man turned up to provide her in the morning and think, now this is let's not beat about the bush. this is really, you know, getting her naked, washing her, cleaning her. it is not appropriate to be appropriate for that to be carried out somebody who's carried out for somebody who's a biological chap sent biological man. this chap sent him packing, he wasn't him packing, so he wasn't pretending to anything pretending to be anything other. they had . you know, obviously they had. you know, obviously not. but really important not. but it's really important isn't circumstances isn't in those circumstances that women are able to feel safe and similarly, toilets and toilets in schools, girls in schools. there are some horrendous stories at the moment going on, and it's really important that this is clarified. are businesses clarified. there are businesses , organisations out there that are and us, and that are confused and us, and that confusion means that they are allowing things to happen because that's the easiest route for them, because otherwise they'll load of they'll get a whole load of abuse thrown at them. but then last saw the nhs making last week we saw the nhs making this statement that patients would allowed except for would not be allowed except for exception circumstances to refuse care from a trans identified individual . and so identified individual. and so clearly the nhs aren't-

towards it going away. yes. the equality about equality act is about discrimination, sex discrimination, sex discrimination rules. and when it's allowed, as in, for example , in single sex toilets and when it's as and when you it's forbidden as and when you say only can do this job and say only men can do this job and there's a very long way from there's a very long way from there to saying that you must have single sex provision, but we even get to the point we can't even get to the point where we can say when do we need single sex provision, when is it reasonable be mixed when reasonable to be mixed sex, when is reasonable single is it reasonable to be single sex? can't say what sex sex? if we can't say what sex means? yes. well, we can't eeebbv— means? yes. well, we can't eeebbv beve— means? yes. well, we can't really have the— 7 “viii? well, we can't really have the debate very ebbee— really have the debate very often _often . really have the debate very- often _often people often because too often people are—intimidated- often because too often people are intimidated into are silenced or intimidated into ebbeeee— are silenced or intimidated into silence. _there - are silenced or intimidated intoj silence. _there was silence. in your case, there was an silence. in your case, there was eee-vee— silence. in your case, there was ee-veu beb- silence. in your case, there was an-you had with- silence. in your case, there was an you had with jordan an interview you had with jordan bebeeeee— an interview you had with jordan peterson taken— an interview you had with jordan peterson taken off— an interview you had with jordan peterson taken off youtube for bebe — peterson taken off youtube for bebe eeeeeb— peterson taken off youtube for hate speech. was— peterson taken off youtube for hate speech. was �*fvv�*vixc hate speech. was it? well, i bb— hate speech. was it? well, i bb ve— hate speech. was it? well, i mean, it was it's his channel. and it's a it's an interview. i did a year ago and it got taken down yesterday. and he tweeted and screencap of the and he did a screencap of the email that he got about it or the notification button. and it said hateful. i mean, said it was hateful. and i mean, i i think it's because we i think i think it's because we referred to ellen slash elliot page okay. i mean, she page as she. okay. i mean, she is woman. she's a woman who is a woman. she's a woman who doesn't like being a woman.

making predictions is always a mug's game, but i think i'll give it a shot . so i have a give it a shot. so i have a strong suspicion that historians of the future will look back at our current period of time in utter bewilderment. how is it they will say that supposedly they will say that a supposedly sane permitted the sane society permitted the medicalisation of children who did not conform to gender stereo types? how is it that figures in authority in the political class and the medical establishment thought it was a good idea to encourage use of puberty encourage the use of puberty blockers, which almost always lead to the taking of cross—sex hormones and sometimes irreversible surgery for kids too young to possibly consent to such interventions . none of this such interventions. none of this makes sense, but there are some signs that the tide is turning. so this week the nhs confirmed that children suffering from gender dysphoria will no longer be put on puberty. blockers in the two new clinics being set up to replace the tavistock paediatric clinic, which will be closing soon following the report by dr. hilary cass , which report by dr. hilary cass, which revealed that it was unsafe for children. the nhs has noted the
7:52 pm
ominous exception of clinical tests which might end up being a loophole. the draft policy still uses language such as gender affirming , so we probably still affirming, so we probably still have a long way to go. we're going to have to wait to see what happens. but this is definitely a promising development. things aren't looking positive in wales looking so positive in wales and scotland, the governments scotland, where the governments have entirely have seemingly been entirely captured identity captured by gender identity activism . and the same is true activism. and the same is true of us and canada. but of the us and canada. but gradually reason will prevail. for one thing, the tavistock is going to close, although that closure does seem to keep being postponed. and one of the reasons why it was considered unsafe the use of puberty unsafe was the use of puberty blockers. the cass review confirmed that simply confirmed that there was simply not enough research into the confirmed that there was simply not etermh research into the confirmed that there was simply not eterm impact �*ch into the confirmed that there was simply not eterm impact of into the confirmed that there was simply not eterm impact of these �*ie long term impact of these treatment outs. and one would have when it to have thought when it comes to doung have thought when it comes to doling out drugs to kids, we have thought when it comes to dolingwantirugs to kids, we have thought when it comes to dolingwant to gs to kids, we have thought when it comes to dolingwant to be to kids, we have thought when it comes to dolingwant to be sureis, we have thought when it comes to dolingwant to be sure thate have thought when it comes to dolingwant to be sure that we're might want to be sure that we're not putting them in danger. in fact, that in the fact, studies show that in the vast majority of cases, feelings of gender dysphoria in are of gender dysphoria in youth are resolved, puberty. resolved, moved through puberty. so by blocking puberty, you are blocking the remedy. whose
7:53 pm
bright idea was that? and even in those cases where the feelings persist, surely we can all agree that children aren't best placed to make life changing decisions about their own bodies . and this has all own bodies. and this has all happened very quickly. mostly because discussion on these issues been stifled only issues has been stifled only today , dr. ahmad malik has today, dr. ahmad malik has tweeted out a thread confirming that he is being invested hosted by the general medical council for expressing concerns that there has been an alarming increase in cases of child gender dysphoria and surgery. but why should this lead to an investigation? dr. malik is simply asking some legitimate questions, and it's bizarre that a health professional raising the alarm should be as the alarm should be treated as some of heretic who needs some kind of heretic who needs to be silenced. all of this can be explained with one word ideology . motty i've spoken ideology. motty i've spoken before about how a small but powerful elite in the western world have succumbed to a kind of hysteria, particularly around the notion of gender identity. the conflation of lgb with taoiseach plus has confused a lot of people because of course,

time to time, whether or not it's acceptable to edit older works of to art, cater for modern sensitivities . eagle eyed modern sensitivities. eagle eyed film fans this week have spotted that two streaming services have cut a famous scene from the oscar winning classic the french connection to remove racial slurs. so here to discuss the rights and wrongs of censoring the classics, please welcome the editor online, editor of spiked online, tom slater, . so this is william slater, who. so this is william friedkin's film , the french friedkin's film, the french connection is considered a classics gene hackman. what have they done to the film? so on these two streaming- �*7 7 so on these two streaming services, apple— these two streaming services, abbte bv— these two streaming services, abbte ty ant— these two streaming services, apple tv and the— these two streaming services, apple tv and the criterion cnannet.— apple tv and the criterion channel, there's a particular ttnt— channel, there's a particular ttnt ot— channel, there's a particular kind of 42nd,— channel, there's a particular kind of 42nd, i— channel, there's a particular kind of 42nd, i believe, segment of kind of 42nd, i believe, segment ot tne— kind of 42nd, i believe, segment ot tne scene— kind of 42nd, i believe, segment of the scene in— kind of 42nd, i believe, segment of the scene in which one of the nanaten— of the scene in which one of the characters, gene— of the scene in which one of the characters, gene hackman's obanaoten— characters, gene hackman's enanaoten. a— characters, gene hackman's character, a kind— characters, gene hackman's character, a kind of hardboiled cop,— character, a kind of hardboiled c0rte-n— character, a kind of hardboiled cob-w wont- character, a kind of hardboiled cob-w wont tn- character, a kind of hardboiled cop, n word in relation cop, uses the n word in relation to a— cop, uses the n word in relation to a tnug— cop, uses the n word in relation to a drug dealer. _ cop, uses the n word in relation to a drug dealer. ti to a drug dealer. he just sort of shaken down. so very much. you understand it within the you can understand it within the context would seem context of the film would seem to sense. not so for these to make sense. not so for these two services. it's two streaming services. it's a bit because one knows bit curious because no one knows why happened. dumas is why this has happened. dumas is actually owned currently by disney, but on disney plus the scene so a lot scene is there intact. so a lot of questions been raised.
8:19 pm
of questions have been raised. but the time, given the but at the same time, given the particular were a particular 40s that were cut, a lot are understandably lot of people are understandably concerned we're once again concerned that we're once again seeing that censoring to bring it modern it in line with modern sensibilities. but this is tabettet— sensibilities. but this is labelled-being- sensibilities. but this is labelled-being an. sensibilities. but this is labelled-being an film. labelled as being an adult film. it's labelled as being an adult film. to te— labelled as being an adult film. to te-tt-e— labelled as being an adult film. it's 18-it's not— labelled as being an adult film. it's 18-it's not as- labelled as being an adult film. it's 18 it's not as though it's 18 plus. it's not as though entttnen— it's 18 plus. it's not as though children-going— children are going to accidentally this, children are going to actatentally this, children are going to actat leasty this, children are going to act at least they this, children are going to actat least they shouldn't.this, children are going to act at least they shouldn't. so ., or at least they shouldn't. so ten-t— or at least they shouldn't. so ten-t tt— or at least they shouldn't. so ten-t tt ub— or at least they shouldn't. so ten-t tt up to— or at least they shouldn't. so isn't it up to it— or at least they shouldn't. so isn't it up to it should be up to wewen— isn't it up to it should be up to viewers to _ isn't it up to it should be up to viewers to decide what they wann— to viewers to decide what they want-tney— to viewers to decide what they watch they don't? watch and what they don't? abbotutety. — watch and what they don't? absolutely. _think - watch and what they don't? i absolutely. _think that's absolutely. and i think that's one thing where people when you see cases like this and we should got should say we haven't got a statement side statement from the other side from other side of this yet, from the other side of this yet, even though it does look very suspicious. been suspicious. but there have been many like and many other cases like this. and i think where streaming services are concerned, it is a bit chilling because fact chilling because of the fact that about that we're not talking about them judicious them making some judicious edits. out at 7 edits. they can put it out at 7 pm. or something. yes we're talking about the fact this talking about the fact that this is can is the version that you can access. it's the same access. often it's the same version across multiple streaming this a streaming services. this is a bit unusual. yes. and so the ability for just a few gatekeepers to say this is the acceptable this acceptable version of this particular tv series or particular film or tv series or whatever is quite chilling whatever is quite a chilling one. is of literal one. is there a kind of literal ntntetneee— mindedness going on here as wan — mindedness going on here as wan _tbat- mindedness going on here as well? _that these.

8:31 pm
life after death . and we started life after death. and we started most haunted experience where people can when people say, oh, most haunted is fake, you know, it's all rubbish. i say, well, actually, come on board and come with the you can with me in the crew. you can choose a location anywhere around the country for around the country and see for yourself. don't make a judgement until yourself . and until you see for yourself. and we've running years we've been running for six years now events and now doing these events and changing people's minds, which i think is fantastic. we've had members police, had members of the police, we've had members of the police, we've had members forces join members of the police, we've had me politicians forces join members of the police, we've had me politicians . forces join members of the police, we've had me politicians . we've forces join members of the police, we've had me politicians . we've had :es join us, politicians. we've had people love it and they come along and go, oh my god, this is amazing. and they come along again. so that for me is the most important thing, is just opening people's eyes it. but opening people's eyes to it. but i say seeing is i always say seeing is believing. we expect believing. how can we expect anybody to believe anything thing unless they experience something for themselves ? well, something for themselves? well, let me bring glenn in on- g 7 well, let me bring glenn in on that very— let me bring glenn in on that very nann— let me bring glenn in on that very pane. vea— let me bring glenn in on that very point. you know, so when i near— very point. you know, so when i near yeas— very point. you know, so when i was four years old, _ very point. you know, so when i was four years old, i saw a gnssn — was four years old, i saw a gnssn .— was four years old, i saw a gnssn n san— was four years old, i saw a ghost. i can still- was four years old, i saw a ghost. i can still remember what it ghost. i can still remember what in teens— ghost. i can still remember what in teens une- — ghost. i can still remember what it looks like. was— ghost. i can still remember what it looks like. was i— ghost. i can still remember what it looks like. was i just imagining— it looks like. was i just imagining that or is it is there senennne— imagining that or is it is there something out— imagining that or is it is there something out there? it's quite
8:32 pm
likely— something out there? it's quite likely yea— something out there? it's quite likely you wee— something out there? it's quite likely you were imagining it. ran — likely you were imagining it. ran swe— likely you were imagining it. i'm sure when— likely you were imagining it. i'm sure when i— likely you were imagining it. i'm sure when i was- likely you were imagining it. i'm sure when i was a- likely you were imagining it. i'm sure when i was a young lad in the darkness of my own bedroom and, you know, it was it was getting dark and the lights were off and you see silhouettes . it's the mind playing, were off and you see silhouettes . it's the mind playing , playing . it's the mind playing, playing tncks . it's the mind playing, playing tricks on you. ultimately nine times out of ten, you can explain away what you would call paranormal phenomena . that said, paranormal phenomena. that said, the question shouldn't be necessarily are ghosts real? but what you define to be a ghost. but all of these examples that yvette has given the many, many things that she's seen over the years, it can't be the case, can it, that all of those examples have been just her imagination or some other circumstance ? no, or some other circumstance? no, you are right about that. - or some other circumstance? no, you are right about that. and anat— you are right about that. and was ..— you are right about that. and was as wny— you are right about that. and was as why. if— you are right about that. and that is why, if you— you are right about that. and that is why, if you notice there, i did say nine times out of ten, because is that one time things will happen and there is genuinely no logical explanation for them. and i say that because i am, as yvette will tell you, a member of the most haunted team, and i'm the sceptic on the
8:33 pm
program and i have experienced my fair share of paranormal phenomena, but i'm always quick to put my hand up and say if there's no logical explanation for it, then it is indeed paranormal. but a lot of things can be rationally explained away . it'sjust can be rationally explained away . it's just that the psyche of going into a location which is deemed to be haunted , your mind deemed to be haunted, your mind works and you just works over time and you just assume that anything at creaky assume that anything at a creaky floorboard door closing in floorboard or a door closing in the might be paranormal. the wind might be paranormal. but isn't necessarily but it isn't necessarily the case. can i ask you about case. yvette can i ask you about that? is there a risk that when we-nnsw— that? is there a risk that when we-nnsw nne — $17 is there a risk that when we know the explanation we don't know the explanation for we don't know the explanation new meaning,— we don't know the explanation for something, we— we don't know the explanation for something, we reach these ease — for something, we reach these false conclusions? because just wease— false conclusions? because just nesawse-asn-n— false conclusions? because just because-isn't an- false conclusions? because just because isn't an obvious because there isn't an obvious explanation— explanation doesn't automatically mean, does it, nnae— automatically mean, does it, nnan ane— automatically mean, does it, that the supernatural is the any— that the supernatural is the only explanation ? mi“ that the supernatural is the only explanation ? no ' cains only explanation? no, absolutely right . and any good paranormal right. and any good paranormal investigator will tell you that if you can't find an answer for something, don't you know you don't just jump to, oh, it's a ghost. oh, it's paranormal. there could be many other reasons. at the end of the day, we investigate, investigate we investigate, we investigate location ones where we've not spent , you know, two weeks
8:34 pm
spent, you know, two weeks living there , sleeping there. so living there, sleeping there. so we don't know sounds that we don't know the sounds that the building make. we don't the building will make. we don't know you you there know. you know. you know, there might be an old man that walks through the village naked at 3:00 in the morning. we don't know know, you've know that, you know, so you've really got to know the building. you've got to know your surroundings. got know surroundings. you've got to know all the sounds and every everything about that place that you're investigate seeing. and so only if you see so when you only if you see something right in front of your face and i have many, many times and as you were saying, andrew, you've something yourself. you've seen something yourself. ihave you've seen something yourself. i have seen, i think for well, the first manifestation i saw, three of us saw it at the same time. one person was a parapsychologist who was a cynic. and we three of us saw a pair of legs walking up their own up the stairs of the theatre, royal drury lane and we were spending the night there and it was the most craziest thing i've ever seen in my life because there were just a pair of legs walking on their own up
8:35 pm
these stairs. and i've seen solid manifestations of a tall, tall man with a bald head. i could describe him very clearly, very tall man in a hospital, and he just peeked round a column, a pillar, and then peep back and you know, when you've seen it, you're not crazy. you're not hallucinating. it's not some sort of form of sleep paralysis . and it's what's so amazing is when more than one of you is seeing the same thing, you know , the whole cast going back to the drury lane theatre, the whole cast, i've forgotten the name of the production, but i think 20 odd cast members were having a photo call on the stage and they all saw what is one of the most famous ghosts in theatre land called the man in grey. and they all saw him walking with his tricks and hat his grey coat solid, walking across the circle in through a wall. years later, they actually
8:36 pm
did some excuse ovation and they were really doing the building and some building works and they actually dug through that part of the wall where this ghost was disappearing through. and they found human remains with a daggerin found human remains with a dagger in his in his ribs and nobody knows really this sort of suspicions about who it could be. but they believe that it was two actors. they had a fight and one actor stabbed the other. but why? the body was hidden behind the wall. we don't know. and is this the ghost of the grey man? but fascinating to me that but it's fascinating to me that more than one person saw it a whole cast stood on the stage and saw it. and this happens. so many times. and when scientists and excuse me, glenn, but when you say, oh, well, you know, it's not paranoid. it's not we're not mad. it's not paranoid. it's not we're not mad . some of the some we're not mad. some of the some of the most amazing minds in the world were spiritualists and believed in life after death. thomas edison . john logie believed in life after death. thomas edison .john logie baird, thomas edison. john logie baird, who invented the television camera. he was a spiritualist.

in fact, he believed in it so much that he thought that thomas edison was sending him messages from beyond the grave to help him construct the very first television camera . and, you television camera. and, you know, einstein energy cannot die. so all these amazing people , they're not mad. what's going on here. and millions of people around the world have got the most amazing stories to tell. and i'm sure people watching now and listening will tell you the same thing . do you have same thing. do you have experience? do you ever feel anat— experience? do you ever feel nnan maybe— experience? do you ever feel that maybe there's- experience? do you ever feel that maybe there's a- nz;“nt.n:i;7’ do you ever feel that maybe there's a risk of neanng— that maybe there's a risk of nsanne e— that maybe there's a risk of hoaxing ? for— that maybe there's a risk of hoaxing ? for instance, i just hoaxing? for instance, i just wann— hoaxing? for instance, i just want as— hoaxing? for instance, i just want as ask— hoaxing? for instance, i just want to ask glenn about that wease— want to ask glenn about thati because—examples because we've seen examples wnene— because we've seen examples wnene wnene— because we've seen examples where where people have hoaxed people.— where where people have hoaxed people-iwas— where where people have hoaxed people. was reading about the people. i was reading about the nnneaa— people. i was reading about the enfield-from - people. i was reading about the enfield-from the- people. i was reading about the enfield from the 1970s, enfield haunting from the 1970s, and-was— enfield haunting from the 1970s, and-was testimony- enfield haunting from the 1970s, and was testimony that the and there was testimony that the sins— and there was testimony that the sins naa— and there was testimony that the gins nae been— and there was testimony that the girls had been bending the spns— girls had been bending the spoons knocking girls had been bending the spoons-knocking walls spoons and knocking on the walls and wines— spoons and knocking on the walls and annes wne— spoons and knocking on the walls and things like that. so isn't anat— and things like that. so isn't snap aways— and things like that. so isn't snap aways a— and things like that. so isn't that always a possibility, eaenne— that always a possibility,- glenn?_mindful glenn? shouldn't we be mindful of glenn? shouldn't we be mindful an we — glenn? shouldn't we be mindful an ne of— glenn? shouldn't we be mindful of it? of course,— glenn? shouldn't we be mindful of it? of course, you- glenn? shouldn't we be mindful of it? f : of it? of course, you should always be mindful of that kind of thing. ultimately, you're always be mindful of that kind ofyou're ultimately, you're always be mindful of that kind ofyou're watching.y, you're always be mindful of that kind ofyou're watching something on if you're watching something on online, see some viral
8:38 pm
online, you might see some viral videos go around where people say that their kitchens are haunted if look closely haunted. and if you look closely enough, might some enough, you might see some fishing something fishing wire or something pulling over you pulling a broomstick over you can't necessarily rely on on what you're seeing. and ultimately , with most haunted, ultimately, with most haunted, i'm fully aware that when we're investigating, investigating a location that all viewers have got is our word for it. but i can sceptically say that when i've experienced something that i've experienced something that i can't rationally explain away, it's a genuine piece of paranormal phenomena . but the paranormal phenomena. but the question then is what really is it? what is going on there? how is it doing, what it's doing ? is it doing, what it's doing? because. okay, glenn, can i ask you— because. okay, glenn, can i ask yaw nave— because. okay, glenn, can i ask yaw nave nave— f okay, glenn, can i ask you have have scientists glenn, .— you have have scientists glenn, i ask— you have have scientists glenn, i ask yaw— you have have scientists glenn, i ask yaw n— you have have scientists glenn, can i ask you if scientists got any— can i ask you if scientists got any nna— can i ask you if scientists got any kind an— can i ask you if scientists got any kind of explanation for the wna— any kind of explanation for the wins an— any kind of explanation for the kind of phenomenon that yvette was kind of phenomenon that yvette pass— kind of phenomenon that yvette was just describing where multiple— was just describing where multiple - get i was just describing where multiple get that was just describing where. multiple-get that . was just describing where- multiple-get that . the multiple people. i get that. the anne— multiple people. i get that. the anne n— multiple people. i get that. the anne a saw— multiple people. i get that. the thing i saw when— multiple people. i get that. the thing i saw when i— multiple people. i get that. the thing i saw when i was was thing i saw when i was four was pnapapay— thing i saw when i was four was pnapapay pass— thing i saw when i was four was probably just mind . i was probably just my mind. i was taking— probably just my mind. i was taking mushrooms or taking magic mushrooms or sanennnp— taking magic mushrooms ori sanennnp—yaw something. but like, do you anna— something. but like, do you annk snap— something. but like, do you think that it's— something. but like, do you think that it's possible for a sauesnwe— think that it's possible for a collective group— think that it's possible for a collective group of people to nave— collective group of people to nave a— collective group of people to nawe a graspe— collective group of people to have a group? hallucination is anene— have a group? hallucination is therelscientific_ have a group? hallucination is there scientific explanation there a scientific explanation for there a scientific explanation fan—aney-u- there a scientific explanation. for—they'll-it's for that? well, they'll say it's some kind of hysterical effect.
8:39 pm
so you've got a knock on effect when somebody thinks they see something, when somebody thinks they see som think|, see the same will think they see the same thing that's generally thing as well. that's generally what they will say. science takes the takes a dim view of the paranormal because paranormal anyway because there's attached paranormal anyway because th
8:40 pm
logically as well. just don't jump logically as well. just don't jump to the conclusion that it could be paranormal, but going back to your point, andrew, about the enfield poltergeist, that case there, janet, she was the sort of more, um , sort of the sort of more, um, sort of the sort of more, um, sort of the more focal person. in that case, there were two girls in it and they actually did say at the end of the case that they had faked some of the phenomena, but they only did that because they felt particularly janet felt under so much pressure from the press to perform . and there was press to perform. and there was a very prominent ghost investigator, paranormal investigator, paranormal investigator called maurice gross, who basically lived in the house rikki neave hoarding everything. i mean, the police even visited that location and saw lego flying around the room all on its own. the knocking , all on its own. the knocking, the tapping and the voice that janet was coming outwith. there was a man's voice. and this man's voice was saying, i don't an embolism in the room . and it
8:41 pm
an embolism in the room. and it was really horrible . _ an embolism in the room. and it was really horrible . and but was really horrible. and but tney— was really horrible. and but they naa— was really horrible. and but they had a vocal analyst, a lady come, a examined janet's vocal cords and said it wasn't possible for this young girl to make the noises that she was making. and for her not to have her throat affected in any way. so there's lots and lots of unexplained, strange and very wonderful little things that have been recorded by maurice gross and if anybody wants to check that case out, please do. but just don't look at the negative side. yes, the press did . they felt under did come. they felt under pressure. and i think janet was interviewed of years interviewed a couple of years ago where she actually said that. fascinating that. but it's a fascinating case many more case and there's so many more like as well. i could talk like them as well. i could talk to you like them as well. i could talk a yaw apawa— like them as well. i could talk to you about this— like them as well. i could talk to you about this for- c i could talk to you about this for hours, but we nan-a— to you about this for hours, but we pant-any— to you about this for hours, but we don't-any more- to you about this for hours, but we don't any more time, i'm we don't have any more time, i'm afraid.— we don't have any more time, i'm anae- vwene — we don't have any more time, i'm afraid. yvette fielding and glen nann— afraid. yvette fielding and glen want. ananns— afraid. yvette fielding and glen hunt, thanks so— afraid. yvette fielding and glen hunt, thanks so for joining hunt, thanks so much for joining w— hunt, thanks so much for joining w tave— hunt, thanks so much for joining me. i love that.— hunt, thanks so much for joining me. i love that. i'm— hunt, thanks so much for joining me. i love that. i'm really interested— me. i love that. i'm really interested in— me. i love that. i'm really interested in this. yeah leo, do you— interested in this. yeah leo, do yaw anna— interested in this. yeah leo, do you think there's— interested in this. yeah leo, do you think there's anything in we — you think there's anything in we wean.— you think there's anything in it? yeah, absolutely.- you think there's anything in it? tflniuait .. you think there's anything in it? yeah, absolutely. i if it? yeah, absolutely. i mean, if you look any model you look at any model of physics, of physics, scientific model of physics, scientific model of physics to explain universe, physics to explain the universe, it's deterministic it's always a deterministic empirical model which means that
8:42 pm
free will can exist. i mean, literally any scientific model will say that free will can't exist. you can't have an object in the universe deciding its own , its own course, its own path. and obviously that's true for socialists because they're entirely by society . but i think entirely by society. but i think the fact that free will, i believe it exists. so that means ghosts could possibly exist as well. do you think? frances well, i was listening- jain “
