- 0:05Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Greece. In all my years of prosecuting, yes,
- 0:19Speaker 1: I was approached by psychics that told me they could
- 0:23Speaker 1: help with the case. But all I could think about
- 0:27Speaker 1: was how can I bring this in as evidence? It's
- 0:30Speaker 1: just that black and white. Actually, if I bring in
- 0:34Speaker 1: this evidence, will it harm my case? I want to
- 0:39Speaker 1: talk to you about a brand new book called Goodbye Hello,
- 0:44Speaker 1: Processing Grief and Understanding Death through the Paranormal. Now, how
- 0:49Speaker 1: does that relate to crime stories and criminal investigations? I'm

- 1:39Speaker 3: story in a local paper about a man named John,
- 1:44Speaker 3: and it was about how his wife was murdered. She
- 1:47Speaker 3: was murdered while John was here as a patient, and
- 1:51Speaker 3: because his seven children did not have someone to look
- 1:54Speaker 3: after them, they were given to the state. And that's
- 1:57Speaker 3: a terrible story.
- 1:58Speaker 2: He turned off my equipment, so I'm not gonna use

- 4:22Speaker 5: The answer is never. Having said that, if I have

- 5:21Speaker 1: your book. I can't wait to get to the end
- 5:22Speaker 1: of it. A lot takes place regarding Waverly House, what
- 5:28Speaker 1: is Waverley House?
- 5:30Speaker 2: Waverly Hills is a sanatorium hospital tuberculosis hospital that was
- 5:36Speaker 2: open for a long time in outside of Louisville, Kentucky.
- 5:40Speaker 2: And it was a place where a lot of people
- 5:43Speaker 2: died because the procedures that they were doing were very new.
- 5:46Speaker 2: They were experimenting a lot. And it's said to be
- 5:49Speaker 2: one of the most haunted places in America. Do you agree, oh,
- 5:52Speaker 2: one hundred percent. Yeah, I've It was one of the
- 5:55Speaker 2: first places I ever investigated.
- 5:56Speaker 5: I've investigated there.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Four other times, and I have had experiences. I mean,
- 6:02Speaker 2: in that clip that you heard, we literally saw someone
- 6:06Speaker 2: standing in front of us, you know, appearing out of
- 6:09Speaker 2: nowhere and disappearing. I've seen, you know, things right there.
- 6:13Speaker 6: Stop stop stop shop Adam.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah, Are you sitting.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Down, I'm definitely sitting down, Adam.
- 6:25Speaker 6: You want us to believe that you have seen a ghost?
- 6:29Speaker 2: You know, Here's the thing. I'm not in the business
- 6:31Speaker 2: of making people believe in ghosts or not. I'm in
- 6:34Speaker 2: the business of telling you what I know and what
- 6:37Speaker 2: I well.
- 6:37Speaker 1: If I don't believe in ghosts, why would I buy
- 6:39Speaker 1: your book? If you can't convince me and tell me
- 6:43Speaker 1: I mean, okay, let's start a let's starry. Ever, what
- 6:45Speaker 1: is your background? Because you sound perfectly rational.
- 6:51Speaker 2: I am.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I'm not saying I do or don't believe. I'm a
- 6:56Speaker 1: fact finder, So I am. Tell me your background.
- 6:59Speaker 2: So I grew up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I'm born
- 7:02Speaker 2: and raised in the South.
- 7:03Speaker 6: Really, Now, where exactly.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Is Muscle Shoals.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Muscle Shols is in that corner between Tennessee and Mississippi.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It was the recording capital of the South. And I was,
- 7:13Speaker 2: you know, grew up surrounded by church, family and good food.
- 7:16Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, I do.
- 7:18Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. Now, where is that as
- 7:20Speaker 1: it relates to Mobile?
- 7:22Speaker 8: Uh?
- 7:22Speaker 2: Directly nor like top of the state, in the corner
- 7:25Speaker 2: directly opposite?
- 7:26Speaker 1: Got you?
- 7:26Speaker 6: Got you?
- 7:27Speaker 1: Okay, you grew up in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. When do
- 7:34Speaker 1: you believe you saw your first ghost?
- 7:37Speaker 8: Uh?
- 7:38Speaker 2: When I was when I was a kid. And that's
- 7:41Speaker 2: and that's the funny part. So I've always been sort
- 7:43Speaker 2: of a skeptic first always because my whole rationale is,
- 7:47Speaker 2: let me try to explain how this can naturally occur,
- 7:51Speaker 2: because nobody wants a ghost in their house.
- 7:53Speaker 9: Point blank.
- 7:54Speaker 2: So if I can explain how it can occur naturally
- 7:56Speaker 2: with natural things that are explainable, then that's better. And
- 8:01Speaker 2: So when I was a kid and I had my
- 8:02Speaker 2: first experience, it was literally a ghost. I heard a
- 8:07Speaker 2: dog in my room and we didn't have a dog,
- 8:09Speaker 2: and I didn't see a dog, and it was playing
- 8:11Speaker 2: in my bedroom. So thinking about that as an adult, Okay.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Stop right there, stop right there, right there, Darryl Cohen
- 8:20Speaker 1: is joining me. Darryl that was an incredible prosecutor with
- 8:27Speaker 1: an incredible win record, has gone on to a civil
- 8:32Speaker 1: practice and a criminal defense practice. And to do this
- 8:37Speaker 1: usually trial lawyers, not always, but usually are very cut
- 8:42Speaker 1: and dried. We know what can come into evidence. We
- 8:46Speaker 1: know what we can try to get into evidence. When
- 8:50Speaker 1: you speak to witnesses, Daryl Cohen, and you were judging them,
- 8:54Speaker 1: you're judging their veracity, their truthfulness, how they'll do on
- 8:58Speaker 1: the stand. Can I put this person on the stand
- 9:00Speaker 1: and while they fold on the stand, where they lie
- 9:01Speaker 1: on the stand, when they get nervous and vomit on
- 9:03Speaker 1: the stand. When I'm looking for veracity, I look for
- 9:08Speaker 1: a story rich in detail. Now, when he said I
- 9:14Speaker 1: saw my first ghost when I was a little boy.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I did not expect him to say it was dog
- 9:20Speaker 1: and it was barking in my room. To me, that
- 9:24Speaker 1: is a sort of a detail that is a rich
- 9:27Speaker 1: detail that tends to indicate not necessarily truthfulness.
- 9:35Speaker 5: Nancy, I completely agree with you. When I have a witness,
- 9:38Speaker 5: whether I was a prosecutor or now a defense lawyer,
- 9:42Speaker 5: I first want to hear their story. I watch their face,
- 9:45Speaker 5: I look at their facial expressions, I look at their
- 9:47Speaker 5: body language. And when I hear something that you just
- 9:51Speaker 5: he just mentioned, oh my gosh, Absolutely, that is a
- 9:55Speaker 5: detail that jury's like to hear, and it's an unusual detail,
- 10:00Speaker 5: something that will resonate, that a potential juror or jury
- 10:03Speaker 5: will listen to and pay attention to. Rather than what
- 10:07Speaker 5: I call a PFA pick pro mayor. This is something
- 10:11Speaker 5: oh my gosh, what did he testify to? Again? I
- 10:14Speaker 5: need to hear that, and that's extremely important. I love
- 10:17Speaker 5: it when a jurr resonates with what a witness is
- 10:22Speaker 5: saying from the stand, testifying to under oath, saying I
- 10:26Speaker 5: swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but
- 10:29Speaker 5: the truth.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grace Adam Bury. The question you
- 10:53Speaker 1: said you heard a dog was the dog barking?
- 10:56Speaker 2: The dog was scratching on the bathroom door, and then
- 10:58Speaker 2: it would walk into my room. I could hear the
- 11:01Speaker 2: dog tags, I could hear the nails on the floor,
- 11:04Speaker 2: and then when it got to the foot of my bed.
- 11:06Speaker 2: We had one of those knob and tube TVs that
- 11:08Speaker 2: when you push the button in it would glow a
- 11:10Speaker 2: little bit after it turned off, and every time it
- 11:13Speaker 2: reached the TV, the TV would glow and then it
- 11:15Speaker 2: would repeat. And it did this for at least five minutes,
- 11:19Speaker 2: and I sat there watching it.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I'm just trying to take in everything that you're saying. Okay, guys,
- 11:27Speaker 1: you heard Adam Burry, author of a new book called
- 11:30Speaker 1: Goodbye Hello, Processing Grief and Understanding Death through the pair
- 11:35Speaker 1: of normal Adam Bury. According to you, are you able
- 11:39Speaker 1: to see or hear or feel the ghost? Yeah, I
- 11:45Speaker 1: get a way to put it when other people with
- 11:48Speaker 1: you cannot.
- 11:50Speaker 2: No. That is I am not a psychic, so I
- 11:53Speaker 2: don't believe. I mean, I believe in psychics and some psychics,
- 11:57Speaker 2: but I am not psychic, and so all of my
- 11:59Speaker 2: experience are coming from things that I can rationally experience
- 12:03Speaker 2: with other people in the space, and it's actually better
- 12:06Speaker 2: when it's verified by somebody else because it's more likely
- 12:09Speaker 2: you're not imagining it or making it up.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Take a listen to Adam Barry and Amy Brunei and
- 12:16Speaker 1: Haunted Farmhouse Kindrid Spirits listening.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Wait a minute, something weird and black just went across
- 12:21Speaker 3: the floor camera. What.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I've honestly never seen anything like it.
- 12:25Speaker 3: So this is upstairs in the master bedroom, right right
- 12:29Speaker 3: in front, like it's crawling toward the fireplace.
- 12:32Speaker 5: That's weird.
- 12:33Speaker 4: It's so strange.
- 12:35Speaker 1: So in that sound at a Barry where you steal
- 12:38Speaker 1: at Waverley.
- 12:39Speaker 2: No, So that is the Harrisville Farmhouse, known mostly as
- 12:45Speaker 2: the Conjuring House from the Conjuring movies. And when people say, oh,
- 12:50Speaker 2: you've been to the Conjuring House, it was terrifying, wasn't it.
- 12:53Speaker 2: The answer is yes, slightly, because I was afraid of
- 12:56Speaker 2: what could happen based on what Hollywood has told me
- 12:59Speaker 2: that can happen. However, it wasn't like that at all.
- 13:03Speaker 2: We did have activity, it was intense at times, but
- 13:06Speaker 2: nobody got flown like thrown against the wall.
- 13:09Speaker 6: What do you mean activity, I.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Mean anything that you cannot explain supernatural or paranormal, something
- 13:15Speaker 2: that is not natural, or something that is above the normal,
- 13:19Speaker 2: such as Rantom Knox, footsteps happening in front of you, voice,
- 13:23Speaker 2: disembodied voices like where a voice where a mouth should be,
- 13:27Speaker 2: but nobody's standing there, things moving on their own, objects
- 13:31Speaker 2: catching images on your camera when nobody's in the space,
- 13:35Speaker 2: being touched, being scratched, being pushed, those kind of things.
- 13:38Speaker 1: So do you believe, Adam Barry, that they supernatural can
- 13:43Speaker 1: actually have physical contact with a person you said pushed.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it can, and it's happened a number
- 13:50Speaker 2: of times for sure.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I want to circle back, So when you're a little boy,
- 13:54Speaker 1: how old were you when you felt you perceived a
- 13:57Speaker 1: dog in your aim?
- 13:58Speaker 2: I was in the fourth grade. And the thing about
- 14:00Speaker 2: that experience, when I look back on it as an adult,
- 14:03Speaker 2: you know, things come to mind. Well, it was at night.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Was I sleeping? Was I sleepwalking? Was I tried to
- 14:09Speaker 2: rationalize why this thing was happening. But even in the
- 14:13Speaker 2: fourth grade, I did the same thing. I remember pinching
- 14:16Speaker 2: my cheek, hitting my face to make sure that I
- 14:18Speaker 2: was awake, looking to see if my brother, who we
- 14:20Speaker 2: shared a room, was awake, and he wasn't wanting to
- 14:23Speaker 2: run to my parents, but I couldn't because the sound
- 14:25Speaker 2: was coming through the doorway. And then at one point
- 14:28Speaker 2: I had had enough and I grabbed the sheets and
- 14:31Speaker 2: I yelled stop, and the sound completely quit. It just
- 14:35Speaker 2: instantly stopped, and it stuck with me ever since.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I believe it. Question, Adam, when was your next supernatural experience?
- 14:45Speaker 1: That's fourth grade?
- 14:46Speaker 2: So the next time I had a life changing experience
- 14:50Speaker 2: was when I was old enough to know better. I
- 14:52Speaker 2: was about twenty three years old.
- 14:54Speaker 6: Okay, white, Why white? Why white? Right there?
- 14:55Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 14:57Speaker 1: Darryl Cohen and doctor Angela Arnold and Nicole part Crime
- 15:00Speaker 1: Online dot Com and everyone jump on with questions. While
- 15:03Speaker 1: I've got Adam Barry, author of a brand new book
- 15:06Speaker 1: Goodbye Hello, Processing Grief and Understanding Death through the par
- 15:10Speaker 1: of Normal.
- 15:11Speaker 6: I'm guessing I'll let's explain this later.
- 15:13Speaker 1: That the gist of the book is I can confirm
- 15:18Speaker 1: there is a supernatural out there, which means there is
- 15:21Speaker 1: life beyond death. That's what I'm my take on your
- 15:25Speaker 1: title is. But Daryl Cohen, my question to you is
- 15:29Speaker 1: he has one episode in the fourth grade and the
- 15:32Speaker 1: next one is not until his twenties.
- 15:34Speaker 6: Again, if a witness.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Told me that if someone was lying, I would expect
- 15:40Speaker 1: them to go Okay. Then the next year this happened,
- 15:43Speaker 1: and then three months later this happened, I would expect
- 15:46Speaker 1: a much more embellished story.
- 15:49Speaker 5: Well, Nancy, it seems it seems real. Now. I am
- 15:51Speaker 5: a skeptic. I'm the first to tell you that, because
- 15:54Speaker 5: if no one else saw it, did it really happen?
- 15:56Speaker 5: Is it in his mind? Is it something that he
- 15:59Speaker 5: is he picking from air? But the fact that it happens.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Or wants to believe or wants to believe.
- 16:06Speaker 5: Wants to believe because I bought the line.
- 16:08Speaker 1: If you don't have a witness to it, it didn't happen.
- 16:11Speaker 1: If you don't have scientific proof, In my world, it's not.
- 16:13Speaker 5: Real, not unless there's something else to go with it,
- 16:17Speaker 5: Not unless there's something tangible that can be seen, felt,
- 16:21Speaker 5: or touched by someone else.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Let me correct my statement. If there's not a witness
- 16:26Speaker 1: and it cannot be supported by scientific evidence as we
- 16:29Speaker 1: know it, I can't get it in to court. I'm
- 16:32Speaker 1: not saying it's real or not real. I can't get
- 16:35Speaker 1: it into court. And if I do manage somehow to
- 16:37Speaker 1: get it in, I will be discredited in front of.
- 16:39Speaker 6: A jury, so that would be taking that.
- 16:42Speaker 5: I do laugh that if what you'd laugh that I
- 16:46Speaker 5: just discredited, but humbled embarrassed.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Now, according to what I know, Adam Barry, your family
- 16:55Speaker 1: has observed supernatural activity as well. Is that correct?
- 17:00Speaker 2: When I was growing up, my parents didn't really pay
- 17:04Speaker 2: attention to it that much. My father was, you know,
- 17:06Speaker 2: in his early thirties working a full time job, didn't
- 17:08Speaker 2: have time for ghosts, and never really noticed anything peculiar
- 17:13Speaker 2: except that the person that they rented the house from
- 17:16Speaker 2: told them that on it and gave them a few stories.
- 17:18Speaker 2: My mother, on the other hand, had had small experiences,
- 17:21Speaker 2: but again brushed it off until I started saying something
- 17:26Speaker 2: about it, until I came to them describing things that
- 17:29Speaker 2: you know, a kid about the dogs specifically, and then
- 17:33Speaker 2: that's when she takes.
- 17:33Speaker 6: What about your mom and the keys?
- 17:36Speaker 2: So that not my mom? There was a there was
- 17:40Speaker 2: a My mother's makeup would go missing in the house,
- 17:44Speaker 2: and then it would show up in places that she
- 17:46Speaker 2: had not placed it, and they blamed the Gertrude Is,
- 17:52Speaker 2: who the previous owners called the ghosts right. Things go
- 17:56Speaker 2: missing sometimes and haunted houses and people don't know for since.
- 18:00Speaker 2: We were on a case where this lady said she
- 18:02Speaker 2: couldn't find her keys, and it kept missing, kept missing,
- 18:04Speaker 2: and she said, can I just need my keys? I
- 18:06Speaker 2: have to go to work, and they fell through the
- 18:08Speaker 2: ceiling plan that was on high onto the floor out
- 18:12Speaker 2: of nowhere, and she picked them up and went to work.
- 18:14Speaker 2: And it was one of the cases that we had
- 18:16Speaker 2: to work on.
- 18:17Speaker 1: You said your next event, your supernatural event, according to you,
- 18:21Speaker 1: was in your twenties.
- 18:22Speaker 6: What happened.
- 18:23Speaker 2: I was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and I took a ghost tour.
- 18:27Speaker 2: I was completely sober at this point, and meaning that
- 18:32Speaker 2: I didn't drink before the ghost tour. And it was
- 18:35Speaker 2: at twelve thirty and the gentleman was describing the Battle
- 18:39Speaker 2: of Gettysburg, which you know is something that we all
- 18:41Speaker 2: should remember. And he said, down in the field is
- 18:44Speaker 2: the most haunted place in Gettysburg. And I said, can
- 18:48Speaker 2: I go down there? And he said I would not
- 18:50Speaker 2: go on my own, and I was not him, so
- 18:53Speaker 2: I went because I wanted to see something was It
- 18:56Speaker 2: was this moment for me where make or break is
- 18:59Speaker 2: something's going to show to me, I'm gonna it's gonna happen.
- 19:02Speaker 2: And so I went down by myself, and I know
- 19:05Speaker 2: what you're already thinking. Nobody else is with you, so
- 19:07Speaker 2: how can you prove it? I went down. I saw
- 19:10Speaker 2: what looked like large, misty anomalies like walking in the
- 19:14Speaker 2: trees that I could not explain. I heard gunfire, and
- 19:19Speaker 2: in the middle of all of that, I went back
- 19:21Speaker 2: and got someone else so that they could see it,
- 19:23Speaker 2: so that I could know that I wasn't, you know,
- 19:27Speaker 2: imagining it. And you know, we both had experiences and
- 19:31Speaker 2: it was as if a battle was being replayed in
- 19:33Speaker 2: front of me. You couldn't see anything, but you could
- 19:36Speaker 2: hear it, and it was wild, and it really pushed
- 19:40Speaker 2: me over the edge. Now this was before I would
- 19:43Speaker 2: try to debunk it, right Like I didn't wasn't thinking
- 19:47Speaker 2: about this at the time, but like, if if it
- 19:49Speaker 2: happen now, I would go in and look for speakers.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I would go in to look for something that somebody's
- 19:54Speaker 2: trying to do to trick me, to see if it
- 19:56Speaker 2: is actually real or not.
- 19:57Speaker 6: It was that real to you one.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Hundred per And what's crazy is we've taken I've taken
- 20:03Speaker 2: friends back there over the years to that same spot
- 20:06Speaker 2: which anybody can go to, and people have experienced similar things.
- 20:10Speaker 5: Uh.
- 20:10Speaker 2: And so it's not just a one off, one off.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Think it happens all the time.
- 20:14Speaker 5: It's Gettysburg.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Guys. How does paranormal activity relate to a veteran died
- 20:22Speaker 1: in the wool trial? Lawyer? How does it relate to
- 20:26Speaker 1: cases that we are working on? I want you to
- 20:30Speaker 1: take a listen to our cut seven.
- 20:33Speaker 9: I was listening to a news broadcast on a radio,
- 20:35Speaker 9: and the night before a girlfriend had called me on
- 20:38Speaker 9: the phone and asked me if I had heard about
- 20:40Speaker 9: a nurse who had been kidnapped and was missing in
- 20:43Speaker 9: our area, and I said no, I hadn't heard about it.
- 20:45Speaker 9: The following day at work, I listened to the radio
- 20:47Speaker 9: and they said that they have found a lady's vehicle
- 20:50Speaker 9: on a dead industreet and that they were making a
- 20:52Speaker 9: house to house search for her. And as soon as
- 20:55Speaker 9: they said house to house search, it was as if
- 20:57Speaker 9: I heard someone speaking to me says, she's not house.
- 21:01Speaker 1: You are hearing the voice of Edda Smith, who I
- 21:05Speaker 1: personally interviewed.
- 21:08Speaker 6: Here she's speaking to Oprah. Listen.
- 21:10Speaker 9: And as soon as that thought registered. I saw exactly
- 21:12Speaker 9: where she was. It was like there was a picture
- 21:14Speaker 9: in front of me. I didn't know the name of
- 21:16Speaker 9: the street, but I knew the area. I knew how
- 21:19Speaker 9: to get there, and I just knew. Well, this was
- 21:21Speaker 9: about three o'clock in the afternoon. I was at work.
- 21:24Speaker 9: I get off work at three point thirty, and I'm
- 21:26Speaker 9: arguing with myself all the way home because when I
- 21:29Speaker 9: get to a certain intersection, I either turn right to
- 21:32Speaker 9: go home, or I can turn left and I'll be
- 21:33Speaker 9: right in front of the police department. Well, when I
- 21:35Speaker 9: got to that intersection, I said, let him think I'm nuts.
- 21:39Speaker 6: I have to stop and more.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I talked to.
- 21:42Speaker 9: A homicide investigator, told him exactly the area. I said,
- 21:48Speaker 9: I knew that it's on the right hand side going
- 21:50Speaker 9: up this canyon road, and that there was a dirt
- 21:53Speaker 9: path going towards this person and with the hill behind her.
- 21:58Speaker 9: He said they had not check that area, that they would,
- 22:02Speaker 9: and I said, well, you know, I have a feeling
- 22:04Speaker 9: I will also inside. I wanted to be wrong, but
- 22:08Speaker 9: I also felt that if I didn't check, I'd never
- 22:10Speaker 9: know the truth. I didn't go with them. I went home.
- 22:13Speaker 9: I told my children why I was late coming home
- 22:16Speaker 9: and they wanted to.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Go with me.
- 22:18Speaker 6: I told them I was going.
- 22:19Speaker 9: I feel bad about that now because at the time
- 22:21Speaker 9: I wasn't thinking properly. I wouldn't have taken the children
- 22:24Speaker 9: out to look for someone. I took two children with me,
- 22:28Speaker 9: plus a niece who was twenty one at the time,
- 22:32Speaker 9: and you found the body.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Ultimately, Yeah, this is.
- 22:35Speaker 6: A woman, perfectly practical.
- 22:40Speaker 1: I spoke to her and she was just as down
- 22:43Speaker 1: to earth as anybody you would ever meet.
- 22:47Speaker 6: Nicole Parton joining me.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Crime online dot Com investigative reporter, This woman, Eda Smith
- 22:53Speaker 1: has I can only call it a vision, and.
- 22:56Speaker 6: She sees she told me something white.
- 23:01Speaker 1: As I recall out in a canyon area, the nurse
- 23:06Speaker 1: was wearing her white uniform, having just got off from work.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Nicole Parton when she tells police what she and her children,
- 23:15Speaker 1: she takes her children out there have discovered.
- 23:18Speaker 6: What do they do?
- 23:19Speaker 7: Well, obviously the body is found, but now she's in
- 23:24Speaker 7: trouble because who would know this much detail about where
- 23:28Speaker 7: the body was unless you had something to do with
- 23:32Speaker 7: the murder. So they arrest this poor lady, thinking that
- 23:37Speaker 7: she had something to do with the crime.
- 23:38Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, Nicole Parton. Take a listen to our
- 23:41Speaker 1: cut eleven.
- 23:42Speaker 9: Well, they said I knew too much about it not
- 23:44Speaker 9: to have been involved, because I had described in detail
- 23:48Speaker 9: where she was up this canyon road on the side,
- 23:51Speaker 9: on the right side, with a dirt path going to
- 23:54Speaker 9: her and a hill behind her. I said I had
- 23:57Speaker 9: to have been there to have known that.
- 23:59Speaker 1: The questioning of miss Eda Smith went on and on.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Listen to cut twelve.
- 24:06Speaker 8: It went on for hours. It went on till ten thirty,
- 24:10Speaker 8: maybe at night. I don't think they're believing me. I
- 24:12Speaker 8: kept telling them the same thing. But this one officer,
- 24:15Speaker 8: he became really belligerent through a chair and raised his
- 24:18Speaker 8: voice to intimidate me. What you think I'm involved in this?
- 24:21Speaker 8: I was capable of this. My husband would have been
- 24:23Speaker 8: dead a long time ago. I'll take a light detective test.
- 24:26Speaker 8: I'll prove to you I don't know anything about this
- 24:28Speaker 8: other than what I've told you.
- 24:29Speaker 4: They take her up on the offer.
- 24:31Speaker 8: They said, you fail. That went all conversation was over.
- 24:34Speaker 8: They transported me to the Van Eys jail and I
- 24:37Speaker 8: was booked and put in a cell.
- 24:40Speaker 1: You're hearing curious true heroes, but that's not all that
- 24:43Speaker 1: happened to miss at a smith take us an hour thirteen.
- 24:47Speaker 8: I am strip searched, I am cavity searched. I try
- 24:51Speaker 8: to do the right thing, and I end up in jail.
- 24:52Speaker 10: She went out on a limb to try and find someone,
- 24:55Speaker 10: although in an unconventional way, and she was successful, and
- 24:58Speaker 10: for that she was literally brutalized for four days.
- 25:02Speaker 8: I got dysentery and lost twelve pounds and seventy two hours.
- 25:06Speaker 10: There was no probable cause for her to be arrested
- 25:08Speaker 10: simply because she found the body in an unusual way,
- 25:11Speaker 10: and arresting her for that for murder. I'm glad the
- 25:13Speaker 10: jury agreed with us and the judge agree that having
- 25:15Speaker 10: a psychic phenomenon is not probable cause to arrest.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Someone, Isn't it true? Nicole parton crime online dot Com.
- 25:22Speaker 1: She turned around and sued the police department, and.
- 25:25Speaker 7: One she did absolutely because she in fact had nothing
- 25:29Speaker 7: to do with the crime, nothing at all, and she
- 25:32Speaker 7: had been falsely accused and mistreated in this horrific way.
- 25:36Speaker 1: And what really happened is, as she told me, is
- 25:41Speaker 1: that the nurse victim got off of work from a
- 25:45Speaker 1: late shift and was at a red light, and a
- 25:47Speaker 1: group of guys pulled up beside her and started heckling her,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and they decided that they would kidnap and rape her,
- 25:53Speaker 1: and then they killed her and dubbed her body out
- 25:55Speaker 1: in that canyon area. Her body would have clearly over
- 26:03Speaker 1: time disintegrated, decomposed. The case may never have been solved
- 26:10Speaker 1: if not for the vision miss Eta.
- 26:15Speaker 6: Told me that she had.
- 26:18Speaker 1: And there's really no other way to explain it. Now,
- 26:24Speaker 1: would I bring it into evidence? I don't know that
- 26:28Speaker 1: I would. I don't know what I would do in
- 26:30Speaker 1: that situation. I'd have to think long and hard about it,
- 26:34Speaker 1: because isn't it true?
- 26:35Speaker 6: Darryl Cohen? You bring in one fact.
- 26:38Speaker 1: That the juries the jurors reject, and that can cast
- 26:43Speaker 1: doubt on your entire case, and your whole case could go,
- 26:47Speaker 1: as I like to say, legal term, right down the crapper.
- 26:50Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, Nancy, if everybody is focused on one thing
- 26:54Speaker 5: and one thing only, like the.
- 26:56Speaker 6: Glove, the glove, oh Jaja, the one glove.
- 27:01Speaker 5: It didn't say well that there was more to it,
- 27:03Speaker 5: but that was the Johnny Cochrane antice that worked. But
- 27:07Speaker 5: that's another story for another trial. But absolutely, you bring
- 27:11Speaker 5: in something picked from air, out of the blue didn't exist.
- 27:15Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? All that we
- 27:17Speaker 5: previously heard is not true.
- 27:19Speaker 6: Yeah, light the glove. Everybody focused on that.
- 27:22Speaker 1: If I were to introduce mss Eda, who I found
- 27:24Speaker 1: to be very credible, the jury could focus on that
- 27:28Speaker 1: instead of all the other evidence.
- 27:29Speaker 5: Daryl Cohen taking away we're focusing on everything. All of
- 27:34Speaker 5: a sudden, something from the far left our right shows up,
- 27:38Speaker 5: and it's unusual, unique, and we're going to focus on that,
- 27:41Speaker 5: and we're going to forget everything else that took place
- 27:44Speaker 5: because they took away our staring, our ability to be
- 27:49Speaker 5: completely precise. And this is something that we have to
- 27:52Speaker 5: consider now because it's different. It's not what it was.
- 27:56Speaker 5: Are you kidding me? Are you really serious?
- 27:58Speaker 1: But just because you can't introduce it into evidence does
- 28:01Speaker 1: not mean it's not real.
- 28:04Speaker 6: Take a list an hour cut.
- 28:05Speaker 4: To something is running.
- 28:11Speaker 7: Down my back like.
- 28:14Speaker 4: Yes, like a fall, like pet down.
- 28:18Speaker 5: My back.
- 28:21Speaker 4: Like gently? Yeah, so what Roger was describing?
- 28:27Speaker 5: Yeah, she just do this to my back right, let
- 28:32Speaker 5: me know that she was there. That was.
- 28:36Speaker 4: Crazy.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Prime Stories with Nancy Grace, Adam Barry is with us
- 29:00Speaker 1: termal researcher, executive producer, star of Kindred's Spirits on the
- 29:03Speaker 1: Travel Channel and Discovery. He's got a brand new book, Goodbye, Hello,
- 29:09Speaker 1: Processing Grief and Understanding Death through the Paranormal, just released,
- 29:15Speaker 1: Adam Barry. Please don't take it in a Let me
- 29:21Speaker 1: just say detegrating way.
- 29:26Speaker 6: I'm not saying I don't believe or do believe.
- 29:29Speaker 1: I'm arguing with Darryl Cohen about the practicality of introducing
- 29:34Speaker 1: paranormal activity of any sort, including clairvoyance in at trial.
- 29:41Speaker 6: And miss Ada was one.
- 29:43Speaker 1: We would do multiple shows when I was guest hosting
- 29:46Speaker 1: for Larry King on Psychic Detectives because Larry absolutely did
- 29:53Speaker 1: not believe in psychics in any way and he did
- 29:55Speaker 1: not want to do the show. So I'm, you know,
- 29:58Speaker 1: working at Court TV at I'll do it. Whatever it is,
- 30:01Speaker 1: I'll do it. So I had never even considered supernatural
- 30:05Speaker 1: activity or psidekicks in any way until then, and we
- 30:09Speaker 1: would do entire programs for I would walk off sy
- 30:12Speaker 1: going what just happened. I can't make sense of it,
- 30:18Speaker 1: I can't explain it. And that's where you come in, Adam, Mary,
- 30:22Speaker 1: you applied to get on with ghost hunters.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Why I wanted to travel the country and search for
- 30:30Speaker 2: the afterlife. I wanted to see if it was real.
- 30:33Speaker 2: I wanted to have my own experience. I wanted to
- 30:36Speaker 2: see it for myself. I didn't want someone to tell
- 30:38Speaker 2: me the ghosts were real or not real. I wanted
- 30:40Speaker 2: to make up my own mind. And that is why
- 30:44Speaker 2: I started to do what I did, and about introducing
- 30:47Speaker 2: it to evidence, like I honestly, I don't think you
- 30:50Speaker 2: can introduce paranormal like things that I captured, like on
- 30:54Speaker 2: the video or on audio. I think that would be
- 30:57Speaker 2: very hard to introduce into court because you know, everything
- 31:01Speaker 2: that we do is theory, right, it hasn't been proven
- 31:03Speaker 2: one hundred percent, even psychics.
- 31:05Speaker 5: It's hard.
- 31:06Speaker 2: I mean, that story is crazy, that she found this body.
- 31:09Speaker 2: That's an insane story to me. And it was like
- 31:12Speaker 2: literally a modern day witch hunt from the police department.
- 31:15Speaker 2: They took her, they arrested her. They because they could
- 31:17Speaker 2: not exactly, they could not grasp it, they could not
- 31:20Speaker 2: understand it. And you know, there are things that are
- 31:22Speaker 2: that happen in this world that we don't have to understand.
- 31:26Speaker 2: For instance, Amy and I were investigating an old Masonic
- 31:28Speaker 2: temple and we got evidence from a spirit that said
- 31:32Speaker 2: I was left down here, that their body was left
- 31:34Speaker 2: in the basement. And I said, where in the front
- 31:37Speaker 2: part of the basement, in the middle part of the basement?
- 31:39Speaker 2: Are in the back? And it says the back, And
- 31:42Speaker 2: so what did we do. We called in a cadaver
- 31:44Speaker 2: dog to search the basement and lo and behold, the
- 31:47Speaker 2: dog landed on one specific spot in the back of
- 31:50Speaker 2: the basement, didn't go anywhere else. So then we called
- 31:53Speaker 2: in a ground penetrating radar. The guy said, yep, there's
- 31:56Speaker 2: an anomaly under here. So then we called the State
- 31:59Speaker 2: Police of Massa Matthewsett State Police. They immediately said it
- 32:02Speaker 2: was a crime scene. We all had our IDs taken.
- 32:05Speaker 2: They were interviewing all of us because lo and behold,
- 32:08Speaker 2: They're like, what are you Why is this cadaverdog hitting
- 32:12Speaker 2: on human remains? They bring in the state cadaverdog who
- 32:16Speaker 2: hits on the same spot, and then they bring in
- 32:20Speaker 2: a forensic team to start digging. Now, the remains that
- 32:23Speaker 2: they found were very, very old. They were they were
- 32:26Speaker 2: not of any interest to them because it was so old,
- 32:29Speaker 2: and they started getting water as they dug deeper. But
- 32:32Speaker 2: they took it so seriously because it was real and
- 32:36Speaker 2: it was true, and we.
- 32:37Speaker 6: Had no idea.
- 32:38Speaker 1: They said, the remain that they said that there is
- 32:42Speaker 1: something down here, but we've gone so far that it's
- 32:45Speaker 1: just not feasible.
- 32:46Speaker 2: You know, it's not here, and say they said, if
- 32:49Speaker 2: the owner wants to continue to dig, they should call
- 32:52Speaker 2: in the local archaeology team from the college and they
- 32:55Speaker 2: can do further work. But it was real and we
- 32:58Speaker 2: were told that.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Adam. Let me ask you, queues you wanted to have
- 33:02Speaker 1: your own experiences, what would you say is the most
- 33:07Speaker 1: compelling experience you've ever had that convinces you that there
- 33:12Speaker 1: is a supernatural, that there is life after death.
- 33:15Speaker 2: That's a very hard question.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Oh. I feel the same way when people say, what's
- 33:19Speaker 1: your favorite case, like one of martyr or rape or
- 33:24Speaker 1: child will as station is somehow a favorite? You know, no,
- 33:27Speaker 1: but just give me an example.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Well, I mean, here's the thing. I think. It's a
- 33:32Speaker 2: culmination of things. It's not just one thing, because one
- 33:35Speaker 2: thing doesn't make the truth. One thing isn't convincing, but
- 33:39Speaker 2: a number of things are convincing. Like I've I have
- 33:43Speaker 2: seen apparitions, I have talked there was a lady that
- 33:47Speaker 2: I talked to, physically talk to as if she were
- 33:49Speaker 2: a real person, and standing in front of me. And
- 33:52Speaker 2: I was with a group of people around, and I'm
- 33:54Speaker 2: talking to this woman and I turned my back and
- 33:56Speaker 2: then she's gone and she disappeared. Nobody else sat her.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Can I ask you what she was saying?
- 34:01Speaker 2: Yeah, we were at the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire,
- 34:05Speaker 2: and she wanted to know what I was doing and
- 34:07Speaker 2: why I was up in this space with this group
- 34:09Speaker 2: of people. And she was wearing red sweatpants, a gray
- 34:13Speaker 2: sweatshirt and holding a dirty coke bottle. And I thought
- 34:16Speaker 2: she was personally I thought she was a party crasher.
- 34:19Speaker 2: I thought she was really weird looking and something seemed
- 34:22Speaker 2: very off about her and I couldn't explain it. But
- 34:25Speaker 2: I was trying to be very nice and the second
- 34:28Speaker 2: I like a human. Yeah, she looked just like you
- 34:30Speaker 2: and me. And what's funny is people say, well, how's
- 34:33Speaker 2: that possible? And I said, how many people live in
- 34:35Speaker 2: New York City and are on the subway and see
- 34:37Speaker 2: that weird guy at the end, dressed in like seventies clothes,
- 34:40Speaker 2: acting a fool and they think he's just someone who's
- 34:43Speaker 2: like deranged or has a mental problem. I was like,
- 34:46Speaker 2: how do you know that that person isn't a ghost?
- 34:48Speaker 2: Did anybody talk to him? Didn't they go over to
- 34:50Speaker 2: him and touch him?
- 34:51Speaker 1: Okay, Adam, Adam, Now look, you do know that what
- 34:57Speaker 1: you said might sound crazy to some people. Yeah, but
- 35:01Speaker 1: I don't I know enough AUVI to know you are
- 35:06Speaker 1: not crazy. You believe this has happened, right, you have
- 35:10Speaker 1: just published this incredible book. My question to you is,
- 35:15Speaker 1: what is generally speaking, what is the most common message
- 35:21Speaker 1: that these entities are trying to send? What do they want?
- 35:26Speaker 2: Most often those that have passed on they're still here,
- 35:30Speaker 2: want help or recognition or communication. They want the same
- 35:34Speaker 2: human interaction that they had in their living life. But
- 35:41Speaker 2: they don't get it because they're hard to see and
- 35:42Speaker 2: they're hard to hear.
- 35:44Speaker 1: And why are they still here and not in either
- 35:47Speaker 1: hell or heaven?
- 35:48Speaker 2: Right, So, there's many different reasons. Some stay behind to
- 35:52Speaker 2: look after their legacy, Some stay behind to look after
- 35:56Speaker 2: their family. Some stay behind because they don't know they're dead.
- 36:00Speaker 2: Some stay behind, you know, because they refuse to go,
- 36:05Speaker 2: whether they whether they you know, maybe they maybe they
- 36:09Speaker 2: were a terrible person in his life and they think
- 36:11Speaker 2: that hell awaits them and for some reason, they're not going.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Now that it doesn't mean, you know, it doesn't mean
- 36:19Speaker 2: that that's the case. But what we find is that
- 36:21Speaker 2: these spirits need something, or want something, or have unfinished business.
- 36:26Speaker 6: Adam Barry Why the book? Why the book?
- 36:28Speaker 2: I wanted to write a book. There wasn't just a
- 36:30Speaker 2: ghost book. I wanted to write something that could help
- 36:35Speaker 2: everyone better understand our own grief and mortality through the
- 36:39Speaker 2: only lens that I know it, and that's the paranormal.
- 36:42Speaker 2: You don't have to believe in ghosts. You don't have
- 36:43Speaker 2: to believe me, But this book maybe can give somebody
- 36:48Speaker 2: a different option if they're stuck in their sadness, or
- 36:51Speaker 2: if they want a different thought or feeling about the afterlife.
- 36:55Speaker 2: It may give them something else to ponder.
- 36:57Speaker 1: You mean you I can comfort grieving people by convincing
- 37:02Speaker 1: them through these experiences, your experiences, that there is an afterlife, right.
- 37:06Speaker 2: And it's not even about convincing, it's just saying, hey, look,
- 37:09Speaker 2: these stories are real to me. I've been doing this
- 37:12Speaker 2: for a very long time and they mean a lot
- 37:14Speaker 2: to me. Here's my story, take take, take with it
- 37:18Speaker 2: what you will, and if it helps you, great, and
- 37:21Speaker 2: I think the consensus so far is it does help.
- 37:25Speaker 2: And I've been messaged by people who have gotten the
- 37:27Speaker 2: books who don't believe in ghost and they're like, you
- 37:29Speaker 2: know that religion chapter.
- 37:31Speaker 5: I feel you.
- 37:31Speaker 2: I grew up Southern Baptists, and and I understand what
- 37:35Speaker 2: you're saying about, you know, uh, the spiritual body of
- 37:38Speaker 2: of of our religion, and I get it, and I
- 37:42Speaker 2: think I think it's a universal concept.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Well, I've got to tell you something, Adam Barry. If
- 37:46Speaker 1: this were coming from anybody else, I would chick it
- 37:49Speaker 1: right out the door. But I know that there are
- 37:54Speaker 1: so many things that we as humans can never understand.
- 37:59Speaker 1: We just don't have the capacity to do that. This
- 38:04Speaker 1: new book, goodbye, Hello, Processing Grief and Understanding Death through
- 38:10Speaker 1: the Paranormal. Adam, I would absolutely consider putting you in
- 38:17Speaker 1: front of my jury.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.
- 38:20Speaker 1: You know what break a leg with this book, and
- 38:23Speaker 1: I hope and do believe that it can help many
- 38:28Speaker 1: many people that are grieving. And I want to thank
- 38:32Speaker 1: you for being with us, Adam Berry, and I expect
- 38:34Speaker 1: that I'll watch it just climb straight up the charts.

- 38:37Speaker 1: Goodbye, hello,
