- [christina]: today, on mystery hunters... - we're tapping into the spirit world using psychics... - ...and science. i investigate a machine that lets you talk to ghosts. - they're all around us. - could this be thomas edison's greatest invention? steve, this place is much creepier at night. since he's dead, we'll have to take it to the cemetery to ask him. did you just hear thomas? - yeah. [ steve laughing ] - and i meet a psychic who works

for the police. can she really see who committed a crime just by using her mental powers? to find out the truth... i go to her school for psychics. - now it's your turn to discover how psychic you are. - and doubting dave shows you a high-tech way... - ...to see ghosts in your tv. - ok, ghosts, let's get this party started. - this is mystery hunters!

girl: don't look at me. second girl: your hair's a bit frizzy today. aw! ha ha! you should pick that up. [girls laugh] oh, you're such a dork. loser. here. let me help you with that. oops!

ha ha! announcer: every day, kids witness bullying. oh, look! your crush is looking at you. [girls laugh] poor you. ha ha! announcer: they want to help but don't know how. bully: see? no one here's gonna help you... announcer: teach your kids how to be more than a bystander. visit stopbullying.gov. - boo! relax, it's only me. i'm at a cemetery, a place that's full of dead people.

you know, they're usually pretty quiet. [ insects humming ] but could there be a way to talk to them and get them to answer? you know, some people think so. how? well, you just call them! [ cell ringing, busy signal ] but not with this. thomas edison was one of the greatest inventors in history. he even invented... the light bulb. but everyday gadgets weren't the only thing he was working on. according to this magazine article, edison believed in ghosts, and one of the things he was trying to invent was a machine that you could use to coact them-- a kind of telephone for the dead. today, there are people who are making their own versions of edison's invention. they call them ghost boxes. and i'm on my way to meet one of those people right now. but not a moment too soon. cemeteries creep me out. this is where steve hultay lives. he's gonna show me his telephone

to the dead. hi! so, can you tell me how the ghost box works? - sure. - the ghost box picks up bits and pieces of words from normal radio stations. - what spirits use is the bits and pieces to form words, and sometimes sentences. - steve says that spirits will communicate through any handy device. [ crackling from ghost box ] and the ghost box is just a way of making it easier for them to get their message across. so, how do you contact ghosts using the ghost box? - well, basically, we just speak into the open air, because they're all around us, and they answer, using the radio, to our questions. - you know, i was thinking maybe we can contact the ghost of thomas edison and ask him if he was actually making a ghost box himself. - good idea, christina. the best place to reach him would probably be the cemetery. - i was afraid he was gonna say that. this cemetery's creepy. - that's good because they're ready to talk. - are they really? - they are. you wanna ask them a question? - yeah, definitely.

- anytime. - ok, here we go. - solving a crime is never an easy job, but what if you could see who the criminals were, just by using the power of your mind? i'm gonna meet someone who says she can do just that. this is the place. - hi, how are you? - hi. nancy says that, just by touching an object, she can find out things about the person it belonged to. for a test, i gave her this bracelet. i didn't tell her it belonged to christina. - very curious person, always searching. - well, that's a fact. - gets along with everyone. - hi, gaylord. - hi, christina. - that's true. - animals like her. they feel safe with her. - all those things do describe christina. and nancy says the

police have called on her to use her special powers to help solve crimes. in one case, the police came to her with a fingerprint. - so, i sat and held it, and then a story came to me. - nancy says that she was able to see in her mind the exact person who committed the crime. could that be possible? i'm gonntalk to the police myself and find out if what she's saying is true. hi! - gary micco, detective: hey, nice to meet you. jump in. let's go to my office. - all right. detective micco was the one who came to see nancy when the police couldn't solve the crime. - we had a burglary in a pharmacy, and the burglar had broken the window and broke the glass. - the police had no idea who did it. - and i rang her up and said: "you know, i have a fingerprint of the bad guy." - that's when nancy used the fingerprint to make some predictions about the criminal. - and she said that he had bad skin. he had scarring on the

left side of his body. - and she told police that they would catch him, but it would take a year. - it would take about a year, and it would be through paperwork. she said: "pay attention to paperwork." - about a year later, detective micco got a fax about a suspect who had been arrested for another crime. was that the paperwork she meant? sergeant micco went to find out. - when i met him, he was 30. he had kind of bad skin. he nfessed to the crime. his fingerprint matched. and he had this horrible scarring up his left arm. - just like nancy said. - i was floored, but that's nancy. she's pretty amazing. - all right, so gary said that nancy has helped him solved crimes, but i wanna find out more. nancy actually teaches people how to be psychic, and this is her psychic school. - araya, and this is class. - if psychic powers are real, this is where i'm gonna find out. - now it's your turn to discover how psychic you are.

- psychics may get messages from the spirit world... email coming in 3... thanks. but other people say they can visit it. - you've got mail! - according to my horoscope, that should be from a 10-year- old named christopher of montreal, canada. and, if these tarot cards are right, he thinks he might have travelled to the spirit world by accident. of course, i may just be interpreting all these signs that way because i've already read the email, but i do predict you're going to take a look at the mystery illustrator. [ insects humming ] "dear doubting dave: the other "night while i was sleeping, "i felt like i had floated out "of my body. i even remember "looking down and seeing myself "lying in bed. was i a ghost?" [ screaming ] well, christopher, it sounds like you had what's called an out-of-body experience. and

you're not alone. one in 10 people say something like this has happened to them. psychics call it astral travelling, but is it really your spirit leaving your body? uh... scientists have a different theory. they think out-of-body experiences are probably just your brain playing tricks on you, especially since the experience usually happens when your brain isn't getting any signals from the rest of your body, like when you're falling asleep or in surgery or wearing a turban that's too tight. [ sighing ] so, christopher, i doubt your spirit actually left your body that night. like most paranormal experiences, chances are it was just your imagination. but, if it happens again, try to have fun with it and go somewhere you've always wanted to visit. [ laughing ]

[ female announcer ] allergy congestion? allegra-d d-congests, d-pressurizes so you can breathe. a fast, non-drowsy antihistamine plus a powerful decongestant. allegra-d. d-fense against allergy congestion. - [christina]: thomas edison was the genius who invented the light bulb. but was he also working on a way to communicate with the spirit world? steve hultay uses a gadget like the one edison might have been working on to try and talk to dead people. and what better place to test it out than a cemetery? thomas edison, is it true that

you invented a ghost box? [ voice from box, indistinct ] - thomas. - [ghost box]: thomas. - did you just hear thomas? - yeah. [ laughing ] - what if we do a test? thomas edison, can you give us a sign that you're here, that you're listening to us? if you can tell us the name of your wife... [ voice from box, indistinct ] mary? i just heard, "mary." - we have to check into that now. - maybe one of the crew will know. what was his wife's name? - we heard a "mary." - mary! wow! that's crazy. - we heard a "mary"! - [m]: ok, just a second. - we heard "mary"! - he said "mary." - [araya]: i met a police officer who told me that nancy weber could psychically identify a criminal that she had never met. - he had this horrible scarring up his left arm. - just like nancy said. now i'm gonna go to nancy's school for psychics and find out how or if it works.

- we are about to do something called psychometry. - first, she passes an object that is hidden in an envelope around the class. - you'll hold it, feel it. christina? - when i first picked it up, i thought i heard pinball machines. - did she get it right? - now, this is who you were speaking about. that's my son, jesse, who has a pinball game. - wow! she seemed to get something right. - now it's your turn to discover how psychic you are. - i'm going to try to get psychic impressions from whatever's in this green binder. could i be psychic, too? i saw... t first thing was boots running across a muddy road. i saw a sailboat in the ocean, wanting to have feet in the water, like on a beach. - this proves that everybody's psychic. i'm going to show you first. - there's a book inside with ocean on the cover. [ laughing ] - feet in the water. - in the water. - yes. - in the folder, there was also

a picture of this family. - they have a home that had a mud road. and he'd wear his hiking books because he had to create a road. - that's like what i imagined. - they do go out sailing with friends. - and i imagined the sailboat. pretty freaky! i tried out my psychic skills, and i did get a few details right. but could that just be a coincidence? and i think it's time i put my psychic skills to the test and took on a real case. i'm gonna try to find a missing cat using psychic powers. - nicole tunstall: well, i originally found the cat running around on the street at night. it was really scared, running in between the cars. so, i picked it up and brought him home. and he stayed here with me until he just disappeared. - do you have an object i can use to try and channel my vision through? the missing cat's water bowl. i'm gonna try and clear my mind and let the information flow from the bowl into me. here, kitty, kitty! kitty, kitty, kitty! here, kitty!

anywhere? i couldn't find the missing cat, but is that because psychic powers don't exist or just because i don't have them? i found someone who thinks he can help me figure it out. - araya, you don't have to go to school to be a psychic. - [araya]: michel said he'd show me the true secret behind psychic powers. - fake ghosts show up on tv all the time. [ moaning ] but some people believe tvs can channel real ghosts. wanna find out for yourself? try it with your own tv. first, choose the creepiest room in your house, like an attic or a basement. [ moaning ] then set up a video camera on a tripod and get an adult to bring in your tv. [ doorbell ringing ] it's also fun if you do this with a friend.

turn on the tv. then connect it to your camera so what the camera sees is showing onhe tv. next, aim the camera at the tv screen, then zoom in on the screen until it fills the frame. you should see a swirling static that some people say is a gateway for ghosts. now comes the fun part. press record on the camera, then ask any ghosts that might be in the room to show themselves. ok, ghosts, let's get this party started. you might not see them while they're standing there, but, according to ghost hunters, that doesn't mean they aren't around. [ wind blowing ] when you're ready, rewind what you've been recording and play it on your tv frame by frame. if you look at the screen very closely, you might find a ghostly face looking back, trying to make contact with you from beyond the grave. but is this really the face of a ghost? - uh... - no.

people see faces in things all the time, mostly because a face is a pretty simple pattern and, since there are so many spots and shadows moving around on a staticky tv screen, some of them are bound to come together like a face once in a while. of course, ghost hunters know that. but they say, even if some of the faces are just a coincidence, other ones might actually be ghosts. so far, i'm not convinced, but give it a try and decide for yourself. maybe the face you see will be a visitor from beyond the grave. - uh... - no. - could i have made contact with the ghost of thomas edison through this ghost box? tell us the name of your wife. [ voice from box, indistinct ] mary? what was his wife's name? - we heard a "mary"! - mary! wow! that's crazy. - we heard a "mary."

looks like the ghost box really lets you hear the dead. is there anybody there that wants to give a final message? - can you guys just say goodnight to us? - no message. - oh! no message, did you hear that? he said: "no message." - are you kidding? we just asked that. - yeah. [ laughing ] - was that the voice of thomas edison we picked up in the cemetery? i've got the recording right here and i'm gonna play it for someone who might be able to help me find the answers. psychology department, perfect! hi, dr. alcock! how are you? - oh, hello! hi, how are you? - can i play you something that we got in the cemetery? - certainly. - is there anybody there that wants to give a final message? - can you guys just say goodnight to us? - no message. - oh! no message. - did you hear anything? - yes. - can you tell me why there are so many ghost box users who hear ghosts-- who hear spirits? - so, you know, christina, our brains are always trying to make sense of the world around us and it happens automatically. if you

see part of something, if you see a dog's head looking through the window, you don't say there's a dog's head, you say there's a dog. - i see. your mind automatically fills in the missing part. that's what it expects. - so, our brains are always doing this. it's very powerful. - in other words, if you want to hear ghosts, your mind will work hard to hear the words a ghost would say. - we make sense of them. we fit them into our expectation. - did you just hear thomas? - yeah. - if i could prove dr. alcock's theory, that might explain why so many people hear ghosts talking through ghost boxes. hey, guys! i asked a few kids to come help with another ghost recording we received at headquarters. so, what we're gonna do, we're gonna play some sounds for you with a secret, hidden message inside. well, that's what i told them. the truth is i made up the ghost voice. and i know for a fact there are no messages in it. so, are you guys ready to take a peek at it? - [all children]: yeah. - ok, here we go! [ person speaking, indistinct ]

did you guys pick some stuff up in there? - yeah. - it sounded pretty creepy, huh? - yeah. - so, what did you guys get? - i got: "you smell like lizard and really strange." - "yes, you can see through waters, though." - "yes, it's a myth. swarming blizzards." - i got: "guests can't see through the walls." - what's this person trying to say? what do you think his message is? - a curse. - a spirit. - could've been a ghost, a spirit. - so you're quite sure you heard a ghost? - yeah. - maybe there are, like, spirits in this room talking at the same time as you are. - [all children]: yeah. - what if i told you i knew this was not a ghost? ok, guys, so i'm going to explain to you what this message really is. [ christina's voice ] it was just me reading shakespeare. i slowed it down and played it backwards. [ person speaking, indistinct ] so, why do yououuys think that you heard these strange messages? - well, you told us there were messages.

- that's right, but there weren't any, right? what i did was i gave you an expectation, and your imagination filled in the rest. - our brains are always trying to make sense of the world around us, and it happens automatically. - well, thank you so much for helping me with the experiment, guys. and remember... - [all]: things aren't always what they seem! - you guys got it. did thomas edison really try to invent a device that ghosts could communicate through? you know, some people think so. but other people say he loved practical jokes, and spreading rumours about a box that ghosts can talk through might have been one of them. i guess there's only one way to know for sure, and that's if he tells us himself. [ laughing on tape recorder ] - [araya]: can psychics really get useful information just by reaching out with their minds? i tried, but it didn't work out that well. now i met someone who says he can show me exactly how

to do it. michel asselin is a magician and he studied the techniques that psychics use. - so, araya, you don't have to go to school to be a psychic. and, if you want, i can show you exactly how to do it. - yeah, cool. let's do it. - can i borrow your keys or something else? - sure. - thanks, just give me a second here. - ok. - you're a sensitive and energetic person, and yet you're used to getting your way. you're impatient with people who cannot make their mind up quickly. and you have great many acquaintances, but not that many close friends. you know the true meaning of friendship. - that sounds like me! wow! i mean, that's incredible! do you use your psychic abilities to solve crimes? - no. as a matter of fact, i don't have any psychic abilities, and the keys have nothing to do with this. - what michel just did is called a cold reading. - well, what i've been telling you are psychological facts that are common to a lot of people. as a matter of fact, they are so common that i was reading them off this list here. i wasn't feeling anything from the keys. - it's a list of things most

people feel about themselves. "sensitive, energetic person." "impatient with people who cannot make up their mind." wow! i thought you knew me. it's all right here. but how do you explain the readings the real psychics give? - well, they say a great many things over a period of time. and maybe out of the 12 things, for instance, that they say, one of them will be a match. that's the one which you will remember. and you will even mould it and shape it to make it fit better in your own memory because you want this to be true. - many people definitely believe that psychics have helped solve some crimes, but how they do it is still a mystery. now, if i could only use my psychic powers to find my sunglasses...
