  Speaker 1: This episode of The Wi Files is brought to you
• 0:02
  by Fishing Clash. Five people sit at a table in
• 0:07
  a dark basement, hands linked, total silence.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: They wait.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Then lights, small at first, growing brighter, moving with purpose.
• 0:18
  Objects appear from nowhere, solid real. Then came the voices.
• 0:24
  The Skull experiments ran for five years, five hundred seances.
• 0:29
  The group made bold claims contact with the dead beings
• 0:33
  from other dimensions, from beyond time. Scientists and professional skeptics
• 0:38
  were invited to watch. They saw the objects and the lights,
• 0:42
  They heard the voices. The beings had a warning, but
• 0:46
  the warning wasn't for the scientists. The warning was for us.
• 1:00
  Human What human?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Human?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Get in here.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's an emergency.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Look, I can't. I'm in the middle of something.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Well, you put Seymour and Seymour down and just get
• 1:11
  doll over here. It's an emergency, right, it's an emergency. Fine,
• 1:15
  you you lured me over here. What's with the weird hat?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Pat, you can just call me Kettle.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: What do you want?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I need help tackling a problem. Fine, I'll bite what's
• 1:27
  going on? I will grab your right pad and scan
• 1:30
  the QR code.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: What QR code?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Hello, the one that's on the screen right now?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Oh that QR code.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: A mobile game Fishing Clash, yep, a game where you
• 1:42
  catch fish.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What you don't play Fresh Person Shooters?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: This is an FFS or FIS fishing simulator.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah that makes more sense. Okay, I downloaded the game.
• 1:54
  What are we doing?
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna do a PvP battle, me versus you
• 1:58
  man versus fish MANO Fido.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, is this today's sponsor?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Caught that didit?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Thanks to today's sponsor, Fishing Clash. It's a super realistic
• 2:12
  fishing simulator for anglers on the go. In Fishing Clash,
• 2:16
  you can build your own fishing village to join a clan,
• 2:19
  upgrade your equipment, and catch a huge variety of fish
• 2:23
  from all around the world. No, but required only in
• 2:26
  Android or iOS device.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'm floundering over here. Some of these fish are hard
• 2:31
  to get.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Oh does it reminds you of college? You probably need
• 2:34
  a bigger ride.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Will you quit goofing around and help me out?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, save, I was being coy. You need to upgrade
• 2:42
  your gear.

• 3:06
  a splash and a lead of bullets. And he's a
• 3:09
  real bragg and writes.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm hooked, but I got to get Seymour
• 3:14
  back before he starts to ooze.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Well, how many fishing puns? Was debt? A new record?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: All right, catch it later, Yeah, one foot a row.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety three, a small English village called Skull
• 3:35
  became ground zero for contact with the dead. Robin and
• 3:38
  Sandra Foy weren't new to the paranormal. They spent years
• 3:41
  investigating spirit communication. So did Alan and Diana Bennett. Together
• 3:45
  they formed the Skull Experimental Group. Their lab was a
• 3:49
  simple seller under a seventeenth century farmhouse called Street Farmhouse,
• 3:53
  stone walls, low ceiling, no windows, no light pollution, no
• 3:57
  outside interference. They all worked in total darkness, not for show,
• 4:03
  for science. They believed spirits would only appear in a
• 4:06
  perfect isolation chamber.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: The group didn't use.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: The usual tools to speak to the dead. No Ouiji boards,
• 4:12
  no tarot cards, no gimmicks, no props, just a wooden
• 4:16
  table and.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: An empty room.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Everyone wore glowing wristbands you can always see where their
• 4:21
  hands were.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: No room for tricks.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: In the early sessions, they sat for hours in the dark, waiting, talking,
• 4:28
  sometimes singing, trying to raise the vibrations. Weeks went by
• 4:33
  without results. Then something changed. Bear became charged. Static electricity
• 4:39
  tingled their skin. The temperature dropped suddenly, eight degrees in
• 4:44
  five seconds. Then a voice spoke directly to them. The
• 4:48
  voice called itself Manu. But Mano wasn't a human spirit.
• 4:52
  He was an entity from somewhere else. Mano said he
• 4:56
  led a team of communicators, scientists, philosophers, technicians, all had
• 5:01
  died decades or centuries ago. They called themselves the Team
• 5:06
  of Many Minds, and they had a mission to prove
• 5:09
  there was an afterlife. They would provide three types of evidence, physical, photographic,
• 5:14
  and audio. Things Scientists could check, evidence experts could study,
• 5:20
  but the Team of Many Minds needed to build energy. First,
• 5:23
  seance after seance, layer upon layer. In early sessions, small
• 5:29
  lights appeared tiny at first, like fireflies, then brighter. They
• 5:33
  moved with purpose, answer questions with flashes, spelled words with patterns.
• 5:40
  The group saw what mediums had described for centuries, but
• 5:44
  this was different, This was controlled. The Team of Many
• 5:48
  Minds gave specific instructions, same time, same basement, same for people,
• 5:54
  no changes, no visitors.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Not yet.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: They were building a delicate energy field. Eruption could ruin
• 6:01
  months of work. They needed everyone to follow the rules exactly.
• 6:05
  Robin Foyd kept detailed notes of everything time, temperature, air pressure,
• 6:09
  every light, every sound, every message. The Skull form weren't
• 6:14
  just seeing strange things. They were mapping them carefully. Science
• 6:18
  needed proof, the spirit's promise, proof, and they delivered.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Session six, a light.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Appeared above the table. Session seven, it splits into three.
• 6:29
  By session twelve, dozens of lights dancing in the cellar,
• 6:33
  moving together, responding to thoughts, touching faces, touching hands, witnessed
• 6:38
  by all four people simultaneously. Finally, the Team of Many
• 6:42
  Minds started sending solid objects to our world, metal artifacts,
• 6:47
  ancient coins, small crystals with strange markings. The Skull group
• 6:52
  wanted more proof. The spirits accepted the challenge by ending
• 6:56
  the session with a simple instruction. They said to bring
• 7:00
  a camera. The intelligent dancing lights were just the beginning.
• 7:13
  The spirit group called the Team of Many Minds, started
• 7:16
  making small objects appear on the table out of thin air, stones, crystals,
• 7:21
  old coins. The group never knew what object would appear next,
• 7:25
  but each item had a purpose, a message, sometimes written
• 7:29
  right on the object. During one session, a brass locket
• 7:32
  appeared inside seemed to be empty until it was put
• 7:36
  under a microscope. Three simple words were etched with impossible precision.
• 7:41
  It read bridging two worlds. Then came the pictures. The
• 7:45
  Team of Many Minds told the Skull group to bring
• 7:48
  sealed packs of polaroid film and keep them sealed. The
• 7:51
  spirits would provide photographic evidence of the afterlife. And here's
• 7:56
  how it worked. In complete darkness and empty polaroid cat
• 8:00
  was placed on the table. A few seconds later, the
• 8:03
  camera levitated several feet into the air. Flashes of light
• 8:06
  would appear around the camera as it slowly floated back down.
• 8:10
  Then someone loaded it with fresh film and.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Took a picture.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: The Skull group watched the photographs develop in real time.
• 8:17
  One showed a man nobody knew. The photo came with
• 8:20
  a message, Giuseppe Rolls sends his regards. Weeks later, a
• 8:25
  researcher learned that Giuseppe Rolls was a film pioneer who
• 8:28
  worked for Polaroid. He died in nineteen twenty six, decades
• 8:32
  before this experiment. His picture was never published. The photo
• 8:36
  matched the only known portrait of him locked away in
• 8:39
  Polaroid's private archives. Photographs showed people long dead, as if
• 8:44
  they were in the room with the group. Other photos
• 8:46
  showed Victorian scenes in perfect detail, ancient writing, lost civilizations.
• 8:52
  The images didn't come from light hitting film. They came
• 8:55
  from inside the film, directly changing the chemicals. Experts check
• 9:00
  the photos and confirmed these are not double exposures, not
• 9:04
  camera tricks. The images formed inside the emulsion. Sounds got
• 9:08
  weird too. In a silent room, the group used a
• 9:11
  simple tape recorder. They heard voices speaking multiple languages, some modern,
• 9:16
  some ancient, some unknown on Earth. Language experts studied the recordings.
• 9:22
  The voices talked about everything from philosophy to quantum physics,
• 9:26
  but one message kept coming back.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Were not alone and death isn't the end.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: This is an apport which arrived during the earliest days
• 9:35
  of us called experiment. In fact, it's a very small object,
• 9:39
  and whilst we were sitting here, this object would arrive,
• 9:42
  just materialize and arrive on the tape as it arrived.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: That's a sort of noisy with mind.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Objects appeared and began moving on their own. Instruments floated
• 9:53
  in the air playing music. Heavy tables lifted off the ground.
• 9:57
  The group put glowing panels around the room to the
• 10:00
  movements better. Everything was logged. Every detail one session stood out.
• 10:06
  A piece of film was sealed inside a locked box.
• 10:09
  An image appeared on it anyway, a page from a
• 10:12
  newspaper that wasn't printed yet. Three days later the paper
• 10:16
  came out. The page matched exactly. The spirits weren't just
• 10:20
  talking from beyond the grave. They were talking from beyond time.
• 10:24
  Robin Foy and his team weren't stupid. They knew about
• 10:27
  fake mediums, the long history of fraud. They operated under
• 10:31
  strict rules. They worked to eliminate any chance of cheating.
• 10:35
  Before every session, the room and the people were searched.
• 10:38
  Not only did the strange events continue, they got even stranger.
• 10:42
  After two years of private sessions, the Skull Group was
• 10:46
  ready for outside witnesses. They invited members of the Society
• 10:49
  for Psychical Research, Britain's oldest, most respected paranormal group. These
• 10:54
  weren't easy believers. The SPR is made of scientists, professors
• 10:58
  and professional skeptics. They came expecting to find fraud. Instead
• 11:03
  they found proof. Word about the Skull group was spreading
• 11:13
  strange lights, levitating objects, photos from sealed film. Their claims
• 11:18
  were getting attention, but not everyone was convinced. The Society
• 11:21
  for Psychical Research, or SPR, decided to investigate. The SPR
• 11:26
  takes paranormal claim seriously. They've done it since eighteen eighty two.
• 11:30
  Members include Nobel Prize winners, Cambridge professors, professional skeptics. These
• 11:36
  are a series people. Three of their best took the
• 11:39
  Skull case. Professor Arthur Ellison, an electrical engineer, mont Yuhen,
• 11:44
  a career skeptic and media expert, and Professor David Fontana,
• 11:48
  a psychologist who spent years detecting fraud.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: The SPR didn't trust the Skull group.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They brought their own gear and enforced strict rules, sealed
• 11:58
  the doors with tamper proof tape, brought their own unopened
• 12:01
  film packs. The SPR searched everything, the room, the furniture,
• 12:05
  the people. The investigators confirmed the Skull basement had no
• 12:10
  hidden spots, no secret doors, nowhere to hide.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Helpers or equipment.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Once the scientists were satisfied that this was a controlled environment,
• 12:18
  it was time to begin forty minutes nothing. The investigators
• 12:22
  were not surprised. They thought how convenient that once they
• 12:25
  were actual scientists in the room, the so called spirit
• 12:28
  activity stopped, and just as the SPR was ready to
• 12:32
  claim fraud, the room got extremely cold. The familiar lights appeared.
• 12:37
  This time they responded not to the mediums in the
• 12:40
  Skull group. The lights were reacting to the thoughts from
• 12:42
  the investigators. SPR member Montague Kine thought, in German, make
• 12:47
  a triangle, the lights did.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Ellison thought, make a zigzag?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: The lights did. All this happened without anyone saying a word.
• 12:55
  The skeptics couldn't explain this. Another session, a crystal appeared
• 13:00
  on the table. Professor Ellison held it. It was solid
• 13:03
  and cold the touch. He asked the Skull group if
• 13:06
  he could take it and have it investigated. They agreed,
• 13:09
  but after Ellison left the basement the crystal was gone,
• 13:13
  but in his pocket was a small brass plate engraved
• 13:16
  with his name, Arthur Ellison. This was shocking because professor
• 13:20
  Ellison never mentioned his first name. The sealed film tests
• 13:24
  were also very convincing. The scientists brought their own film.
• 13:27
  They marked the packs with invisible UV inc The film
• 13:31
  didn't leave their possession. The images still appeared, faces, landscapes,
• 13:37
  ancient writing, twenty sessions, stricter rules each time, the scientists
• 13:41
  had a choice admit something real was happening, or accused
• 13:45
  the skull four of the best hoax in history. The
• 13:49
  investigators found no fraud, no hidden projectors, no helpers, no
• 13:53
  tricks could explain objects appearing from nowhere. Then the team
• 13:57
  of many minds began speaking directly to the scienceists.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Direct voice, they called it. Voices from nowhere filled the room.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: They called the investigators by name, talked about their private research,
• 14:09
  answered hard questions about quantum physics, about human consciousness. The
• 14:13
  voices gave real information stuffed nobody in the room knew.
• 14:18
  Keen asked about dead relatives, The voices gave details, names, dates,
• 14:23
  private family stuff, all accurate. Ellison asked complex engineering questions.
• 14:28
  The voices answered with technical detail. The investigators recorded everything.
• 14:33
  Evidence was piling up. Something was happening in that cellar,
• 14:37
  something that needed a scientific explanation, and the scientists didn't
• 14:41
  have one. The weirdest evidence came when the recorders were allowed.
• 14:46
  A heavy table started floating. Ellison put his whole weight
• 14:49
  on it. It stayed up inches off the ground with
• 14:52
  no visible support.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Cameras recorded this.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: A voice from nowhere announced, we exist in dimensions perpendicular
• 15:09
  to yours. The recording got the voice clear. Audio experts
• 15:13
  checked it came from the middle of the room, away
• 15:17
  from everyone. After two years of tests, the spr investigators
• 15:22
  released their report, three hundred pages full of events that
• 15:25
  broke the rules of science, things they couldn't explain. The
• 15:29
  spirit team promised proof of life after death, and they
• 15:32
  delivered something stranger, proof that our universe, our entire reality,
• 15:37
  isn't what we think it is. But most disturbing were
• 15:40
  the messages, thousands of them, all pointing to the same conclusion. Instructions, predictions, warnings,
• 15:48
  and it was time for humanity to listen. Over five years,
• 15:57
  the spirits, called the Team of Many Minds, set thout messages,
• 16:01
  some personal for specific people in the room, but most
• 16:04
  were for everyone, For all of us, a clear story
• 16:07
  started to form. Our planet is on the verge of
• 16:10
  a major shift. The spirit said, consciousness is more than awareness.
• 16:15
  It's more than neurons firing in your brain. Consciousness is
• 16:19
  reality itself. Because consciousness is reality, there is no such
• 16:23
  thing as death, at least not as we know it.
• 16:26
  We live and we die, but consciousness continues to evolve.
• 16:29
  This is a concept shared by many religions, that we
• 16:32
  live a short time on Earth. Then we take what
• 16:34
  we learned back to this universal consciousness. Our episode about
• 16:38
  the Gateway Process revealed that the United States military was
• 16:41
  studying this concept at the Monroe Institute. The military's report
• 16:45
  was very similar to the message being sent by the
• 16:48
  Team of Many Minds. The spirit said, our awareness has
• 16:52
  far more potential. We see three dimensions. They talked about
• 16:55
  at least seven. Their primary message concerned a major change
• 16:59
  come into the Earth, a shift in frequency, a new
• 17:03
  energy level. They called it the crossing Point. This change
• 17:06
  would alter human minds. They claimed, new abilities would wake
• 17:10
  up to lepathy, remote viewing, direct access to knowledge. The
• 17:15
  Skull Experiments were preparing a few people to lead the way.
• 17:19
  The spirits gave instructions on how we can handle the change. Meditation,
• 17:23
  ways to match the new frequency, ways to see beyond
• 17:26
  the physical world, They stressed living in harmony with nature,
• 17:30
  no more fighting. Their messages sounded like old spiritual ideas,
• 17:35
  but they also incorporated science, advanced mathematics, quantum physics. They
• 17:39
  even sent plans to create devices to help communication between worlds.
• 17:44
  One design looked like a modified crystal radio. It used geranium,
• 17:48
  a rare metal, and a semiconductor. The idea was to
• 17:52
  use the crystal to capture spirit voices, then feed the
• 17:55
  audio straight to a tape recorder, no microphone needed. Investigators
• 17:59
  looked at the plan. The science seem interesting, maybe even possible.
• 18:03
  The idea of inventors trying to talk to the dead
• 18:06
  isn't new. Both Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla worked on
• 18:09
  devices to try to communicate with the other side. Kestel
• 18:12
  was convinced his spirit radio worked, but the most disturbing
• 18:15
  messages were the warnings. The spirits predicted political chaos, social collapse,
• 18:20
  climate catastrophe. Humanity wasn't in sync with Earth's energy. We
• 18:25
  can avoid the disaster if we change course, but time
• 18:28
  is running out. In nineteen ninety six, the Spirit team
• 18:31
  mentions something new, contact with non human intelligences without physical form.
• 18:37
  Entities were interested in humanity's development, but exist in dimensions
• 18:41
  beyond our comprehension. These beings were described as watchers and guardians.
• 18:47
  Direct communication with them would be the next phase of
• 18:49
  the experiment, But how The spirit team presented mathematical formula
• 18:55
  that described interaction between dimensions. When Fontana showed it to
• 19:00
  the physicists, they confirmed it represented a model for quantum
• 19:03
  entanglement that hadn't been published yet. The formula used scientific
• 19:07
  symbols that wouldn't appear for another two years. Either the
• 19:11
  spirits were seeing the future or they were helping create it.
• 19:15
  The spr scientists wrote down the messages they got worried.
• 19:19
  The predictions about climate politics. All were disturbingly accurate names, dates, places,
• 19:26
  details confirmed later by news reports. Once again, the spirits
• 19:30
  were either seeing the future or shaping it. In late
• 19:34
  nineteen ninety seven, the messages got urgent. The team of
• 19:38
  many minds spirit groups said the experiment was ending soon.
• 19:42
  They did what they came to do, built a bridge
• 19:44
  between dimensions, planted ideas in human minds. The next part
• 19:48
  would happen naturally without the seances. They were pulling back,
• 19:52
  letting things evolve. Their final messages focused on personal choice.
• 19:57
  Everyone must choose their path. Awareness could grow or shrink,
• 20:01
  depends on what you focus on. Fear closes the mind,
• 20:05
  love opens it. The future wasn't fixed, collective thoughts shaped it.
• 20:10
  The Spirit team's last message was simple, we are always here.
• 20:14
  The door remains open, you need only step through. After
• 20:18
  the experiment ended, something strange happened. People around the world
• 20:22
  reported similar things. Lights in their homes, objects appearing, voices
• 20:27
  from empty rooms. A two thousand and six survey conducted
• 20:31
  by Banashi Universe that he revealed that about seventy percent
• 20:34
  of respondents believed they had experienced a paranormal event that
• 20:38
  impacted their lives, often in a positive manner. The skull
• 20:42
  energy field had spread.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Beyond the cellar.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: The team of many minds built a network, and it
• 20:47
  was getting larger. So the result of the school experiments
• 20:50
  can mean one of only two things. Either of this
• 20:53
  was the start of a great energy shift that would
• 20:55
  change our entire existence, or it was degree is magic
• 21:00
  trick in history. So what really happened in that English sellar.
• 21:12
  Was it real communication with the dead, proof of other
• 21:14
  dimensions or just a five year magic show. Well, let's
• 21:18
  look at what we know. The skull group held about
• 21:21
  five hundred seances nineteen ninety three to nineteen ninety eight.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: That's documented.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Real scientists investigated the Society for Psychical Research. They wrote
• 21:30
  a three hundred page report describing things as scientists couldn't explain.
• 21:35
  But there are serious problems, big ones. First, the darkness.
• 21:39
  Always in total darkness, it blocks the main tool for
• 21:43
  observation site. Yes, they had glowing wristbands, but you could
• 21:47
  see where their hands were, but not what their hands
• 21:49
  were doing. The sealed film sounds like strong evidence, but
• 21:53
  even here there are issues.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: The investigators brought their.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Own film, true, but the Skull group controlled the room
• 22:00
  darkness gave them plenty of chances to switch film to
• 22:03
  fake images. No independent lab ever checked to see if
• 22:06
  the film was switched. That UV writing nobody checked. The
• 22:10
  group refused video recording, big red flag. They said electronics
• 22:14
  messed with spirit energy, which is convenient. That removed the
• 22:18
  best way to document things. When infrared cameras were finally allowed,
• 22:23
  the strange events mostly stopped. Later, investigators learned that Alan
• 22:28
  and Diana Bennett used to perform stage magic.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: They didn't mention this during the experiments. When asked, they admitted.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: It but they said their work with the spirit world
• 22:38
  was real. Magicians can do a lot in the dark.
• 22:41
  Magic experts say most skull events match old magic tricks
• 22:45
  used by fake mediums for centuries, just done very well,
• 22:49
  very patiently. Professional magicians showed how it could work. The
• 22:53
  spirit lights, small LEDs, hidden magnets, easy to move with
• 22:57
  wristbands on the objects, appearing slid of hand, hidden pockets,
• 23:02
  the photos, pre exposed film, the voices from small hidden speakers.
• 23:07
  No advanced technology would be needed to pull off any
• 23:09
  of this, just darkness, planning, and patience. Four people working
• 23:14
  together for five years could create an extremely elaborate hoax.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: But why well, there's money in it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: They charged fees for lectures, they wrote books, remember there's
• 23:26
  always a book. They charged for seminars and seances. Now
• 23:30
  not saying money was their primary motivation, but plenty of
• 23:33
  money was being made. But the skeptic view has holes too.
• 23:37
  If this was fraud, it needed amazing coordination for five
• 23:40
  years straight, and strange things happen in other places, not
• 23:44
  just the skull seller. Dozens of witnesses saw things, including
• 23:48
  trained scientists, events that needed incredible skill to fake every
• 23:52
  single time. Now, what about the spirit messages. Most of
• 23:56
  the predictions didn't happen. Did big consciousness shift the plane changing?
• 24:01
  That hasn't happened yet, at least not like they said
• 24:03
  it would. So was this a five year fraud Not,
• 24:06
  According to the investigators from the Society for Psychical Research.
• 24:10
  Until the day he died, Montague Keene believed something real
• 24:13
  happened in that basement. In fact, he died during a
• 24:16
  debate where he was defending the powanormal so vigorously he.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Had a heart attack.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Professor Ellison was more measured. He admitted he witnessed unexplained events,
• 24:26
  but he stopped short as saying there were spirits involved.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: But he also said he found no evidence of fraud.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Professor Fontana was also impressed and also hesitant. He couldn't
• 24:36
  explain what he experienced either, but he didn't think it
• 24:38
  proved life after death. Maybe the biggest clue is what
• 24:42
  happened after Skull. If the team of many minds really
• 24:45
  built a spirit network, we should see more proof, We
• 24:48
  should see proof everywhere. Instead, the event stopped when the
• 24:51
  Skull group broke up. When asked what went wrong, the
• 24:54
  school group said, and let me get this right. The
• 24:57
  interdimensional doorway they had established attracted interference from entities described
• 25:02
  as experimenters from the future. This interference was said to
• 25:06
  violate strict laws of space and time, leading the spirit
• 25:09
  team to advise ceasing the sessions to prevent further disturbances.
• 25:15
  That's a quote, and that explanation sounds a little too convenient.
• 25:19
  I think the Skull experiments were four friends putting on
• 25:22
  a spooky magic show. But I approached the story of
• 25:24
  someone who doesn't believe in ghosts. I admit that I'm biased. Still,
• 25:29
  I can't prove they were faking. Nobody could, and many tried.
• 25:33
  There may not be evidence of ghosts, but there is
• 25:35
  evidence that many people had positive experiences when they attended
• 25:39
  a skull seance. We have video statements from witness after
• 25:42
  witness describing these amazing, life changing events. Some people felt
• 25:47
  reconnected to lost loved ones. Others swear that the spirits
• 25:51
  healed their illnesses.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Was this all in their minds? I think so?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: But what does it matter?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: What?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I think?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: The Skull group gave comfort to hundreds of people. Is
• 26:01
  my skepticism more valid than their actual experience?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Some of the people were so happy they left the
• 26:08
  sands in tears. I don't have the right to rob
• 26:11
  anyone of that joy. Nobody does, And don't let anyone
• 26:15
  rob you of yours. Remain faithful even as people like
• 26:18
  me remain defiant. If you believe that after we die
• 26:22
  we go to heaven, keep believing it. If you believe
• 26:25
  we reconnect with our loved ones, keep believing it. If
• 26:28
  you have some belief about the afterlife that gives you comfort,
• 26:32
  keep believing it. I'm willing to bet you're wrong, but
• 26:35
  I say this with all sincerity. I really want to
• 26:38
  lose that bet. Thanks for listening or watching the Wi
