In the very old days, I would have been burned at the state.
In modern times, they sent you to a psychiatrist.
You're lying.
Hey!
I guess that shit ain't like, come on honey, if you want to come up, you can come up.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
We witnessed the remarkable ability of a man named George Anderson.
Anderson has several theories about how his ability works.
A man widely regarded as the world's greatest medium.
What do you say to the skeptics, the people who are hearing all this and say, come on George?
Skepticism really means I don't know.
Like any job, it's best when you know you have to work.
Okay, before we begin, I just would like to give you a quick preparation and we'll start.
No idea who's coming to see me.
When I need you to acknowledge, just say yes so that you understand only.
Usually my assistant tells them, you know, make sure you just acknowledge with yes, no, that you understand, whatever.
If there's something I'm confused on, as far as I'm concerned, the souls in the hereafter have to clear it up, have to straighten it out, not you. They have to explain it.
I reinforce that constantly through the session.
I always say that without helping me, without volunteering any information.
And also just for the benefit of camera, will you please testify that you have not spoken to me in any way, shape or form up until this moment?
Yes.
And I have not spoken to you in any way, shape or form up into this moment?
Okay, and that will begin.
I think that's again probably my skepticism, putting the ability on the spot.
Okay, let's see you work.
You'll see me doing this and this is just a form of distraction.
You know, my hands not under any type of mysterious control or anything like this.
It's just a form of distraction for me.
A lot of times I keep the cap on the pan, I just make a like this.
Just to kind of like occupy probably the more logical or rational side of the brain.
Okay, first of all, a male presence comes around you.
Do you understand?
Yes.
You'll feel somebody's presence come in and then the soul will send out another signal.
No, like someone, the male presence around you keeps saying I'm the son.
You understand?
Yes.
Okay.
Your mother very devout.
She certainly likes what's in my room.
Very devout.
You know, from there it just, then there's really less acknowledgement or any type of
responding on that part because once you get into the depth of it, you just follow what
you feel that they're saying or what they're coming to say.
Your mother have trouble to the chest area?
Yes.
Like a heart attack or such?
Yes.
Because it feels like there's weakness in the chest and the breathing.
Your dad had trouble with his health?
Yes.
Because she keeps calling out to him, not that she's calling to him to join her.
She just calls out to him in concern that this, or express concern with his health.
And I know people have assumed, oh, he just researches.
I really wish it could be that easy.
You know, because they wouldn't be, so to speak, like, you know, any sense of struggle with it or whatever.
So I've never used an ATM machine in my life.
So that might give you a clue of how technically challenged I am.
Definitely came from a very strict Roman Catholic household.
You know, had experiences when I was young, but of course they just written off as childish imagination.
Later at the age of 14, discerning became more pronounced.
You're saying, so you're 14, you're saying that this presence arrives and just comes to you.
But where were you at this moment?
You know, we had a basement, you'd go down, you know, I had a train set down there, whatever, you just got out to play with it.
It would seem like down there is where the first, you know, presence was made, or she would come in dreams.
At the beginning it didn't seem out of the ordinary to you?
Well, I certainly didn't feel anything was wrong with me.
I mean, I felt I was as normal as anybody else.
I remember reading stories about the saints, like for example, St. Dominic Savio.
He was known for having feelings and so forth.
So I just thought I was, you know, doing the same thing that they were showing us that the saints did.
You don't feel anything wrong with it until somebody brings to your attention that not everybody's doing it.
And so there's got to be something wrong.
They suggested I be taken, you know, to be institutionalized.
Psychiatrists couldn't seem to find out what was going on.
They were undecided, you know, was something wrong with me?
Is he a paranoid schizophrenic? Is this, whatever, back and forth?
So they had put me on medication and, you know, you know, I mean, I was still feeling.
My mom was more receptive.
My father actually thought it was low to horse manure.
I think what really turned the tide was when I was taken to the state hospital.
And a psychiatrist came up to my father and said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your son.
End of story.
Later on through school, I spoke more of it.
People's attitudes were changing.
Just like nowadays, attitudes have changed from how they were back in that time.
And I started to feel more comfortable about speaking about it.
And if anything, most people were intrigued or interested.
They weren't hostile anymore.
They weren't ready, you know, to call you names such as that.
I'm finding out as time goes on, the focus is the brain.
There's where whatever is going on is going on.
They said one part of my brain is dead from the illness and another part has emerged.
Very possible.
Everybody, everybody all of a sudden is, you know, as I say, a freaking medium or, you know, hearing from the hereafter, whatever.
Because then I'm like, well, okay, let's see if this is for real.
I would consider myself the greater skeptic than anybody.
Probably because many times I don't feel it works the way I think it should.
You know, there's people out there who say UFOs don't exist or I don't know.
Let us begin.
And as I said, whatever I say, you just keep it, yes, no way that you understand all me.
And away we go.
You just can't say it's bull because you're a cynic.
First of all, a male presence has come into the room.
They say it's fishing.
And another one and a female also.
Twenty questions, whatever.
You know, you never get names.
If there were names coming through, I'd find that miraculous.
Okay.
Somebody's coming in saying like they were Bernie or Bernard.
Also Margaret is here.
Passed on because she must have just walked into the room.
Also Helen passed on because she just walked in the room also.
It's very rare a session goes on with me where names don't come through.
Also Bob, Robert, passed on.
Who says he's family, yes?
Yes.
He states you're his folks.
That's true.
Yes.
So it must be your son.
Yes.
Yes, you can be scaped to go.
But until you know, I believe you definitely keep your mind open to all possibilities.
Well, one program said, you know, it's great.
We'd like to have him do it, but can he tone it down?
I said, I can't tone it down or make it all like happy and gay.
And oh, isn't that cute?
It's not what it's about.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome.
All right.
There's a female presence in the room.
I heard the name Cecilia makes sense.
But passed on.
Now, I don't know who, but I'm sure he is to somebody, but the talk of loss of a son.
But the thing is, not yours.
It's like he's here and he's not here.
Understood?
And don't say whatever you do, but it's almost like if somebody has like dementia or
senility or something like this, I heard somebody speaking German at one time today.
It's an ability that is used, I feel, in a comforting sense to people who have had a loss.
There you go.
Thank you, Kyla.
Thank you.
I'm just the instrument.
When people thank me, I always say to them, don't thank me.
Thank your loved ones.
To be honest with you, let me see.
I am kind of drawn toward you.
One mouth puts a big heart over your head, understood?
For some, it feels like a husband.
As soon as he said, St. Anthony, I knew there was something for me.
And remember, it's the simple things that turn out to be the most profound.
All right, well, let me move on.
It's okay.
One says she's the real McCoy, so that have to be your mom, also apologizes to you for favoritism.
Understood?
Did you name Anna or Anna around you?
Understood, but passed on, yes?
Ultimately, if it's BS, well, someday we're all going to find out.
I'm going to go to a nice place and people have passed on ahead of me and pets.
Hopefully pets more so than my family are going to welcome me over.
And if not, then I'm just going to go into nothingness.
You know, you just can't come up to me and say, well, it's all bull.
You can't.
You have to show me why it's not what at this time I feel it is.
And until further notice, I have no choice but to assume it's possibly hearing or receiving messages from those who have left physical body.
I've been loved by the church with me on the light.
The church with me on the light.
When I walked into the room, she came toward me and I came and I rise loud.
And I heard a voice in here say, oh my gosh, it's so nice to see you again.
And next day when I came back for she went right into the car to hear her home.
Yeah, she was up there before.
I thought she would have appeared on jumped into the camera, but she seems to be camera shy.
But oh yeah, she is on cue.
