1
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Unsolved mysteries. Out of deference to persons who may still

2
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>be living. Character names in some of these true unsolved

3
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>mysteries have been changed. Few mysteries can compare in their

4
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>intrigue with those mysteries that deal with the mind. And

5
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>he is bold, indeed, who says that he understands that

6
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>realm in which the mind holds sway has witnessed the

7
00:00:48.320 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>extraordinary case of the hypnotist.

8
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Something something, a something, a something thinking something. Trust.

9
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>The scene is a famous newspaper correspondence home in New York,

10
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the occasion the publishing of a book, a book dealing

11
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>with better than twenty years of headline hunting, and Bob Howard,

12
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the newspaper man, is entertaining a few friends at dinner.

13
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Most of the guests linger over their coffee, but Jim Watson,

14
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>another newspaperman, stands by the window looking at the new book.

15
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 3>I say, Bob, I don't find my favorite story in here.

16
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Didn't you send it in?

17
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

18
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 3>I did, but well it was leave it out and

19
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 3>not get the book published.

20
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean, Bob?

21
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 5>My publisher said that they didn't believe the story, and

22
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 5>they were sure the public wouldn't And so, as I said,

23
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 5>I either had to leave out the story or try

24
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 5>to get some other publishing house to print it.

25
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 3>But you have plenty proof that the thing happened.

26
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 4>And that's what I thought.

27
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 5>But you realize that there was no official record ever

28
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 5>kept of the affair, and most of the men who

29
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 5>were concerned are dead.

30
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 3>I suppose that's true. It's a shame, though, that was

31
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 3>a swell story.

32
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 4>Hey, what is this story?

33
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 6>I'd like to hear it?

34
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 4>So would I go ahead?

35
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 6>Bob?

36
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I can always stand hearing it again.

37
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, it will certainly give you plenty to think about.

38
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 5>It was during the war and I was assigned to

39
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 5>cover the Palestine front, but with fever and everything, the

40
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 5>British losses had been heavy, and all the way from

41
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 5>the ancient city of Gaza to the Damascus Gate, the

42
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 5>Turks were in a very good defensive position. I'd never

43
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 5>sent any news dispatches to my paper that the commanding

44
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 5>officer hadn't put his ok on, and the result was

45
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 5>that I was in on quite a few conferences. It

46
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 5>was night, typical Oriental night, and the staff officers were

47
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 5>seated in the old man's tent discussing the situation and

48
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 5>the situation.

49
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 6>Is now, gentlemen, we daren't advance. Just how many of

50
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 6>these fever and dysenteric cations will be ready for active

51
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 6>duty in the next thirty days.

52
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

53
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 6>We'll hear later on that the person will be over

54
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 6>from the hospital with a report. But the main thing

55
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 6>is we don't want to spend the hot weather hare

56
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 6>The Turks are firmly entrenched, and yet we don't want

57
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 6>to retreat now.

58
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Possibility of reinforcement, sir.

59
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 6>Not a chance they need all they can get on

60
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 6>the western front.

61
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 4>Well, if we could only get behind them.

62
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 6>But say LG yes, colonel, if we could, that we

63
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 6>can't and hoping won't change it. Colonel Macpherson reporting, sir, Yes,

64
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 6>well Mac, what is the medical report?

65
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 5>Fraser can't count and vadamnesa not for ninety days at

66
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 5>least those cases are pressure bad. But yes, Mac, we'll

67
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 5>hesitate to tell you this, but we've just had a

68
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 5>something happened.

69
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, go ahead, I'd rather you come over to the

70
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 3>hospital of yourself and see for yourself, sir, all of us,

71
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 3>yes is.

72
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm a doctor, but there's something happened over there that

73
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 5>I don't know anything.

74
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 1>About fifteen minutes later, the staff officers are seated in

75
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 1>the medical officer's tent. Through the mosquito netting, the long

76
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>rows of cots are barely visible in the dim light

77
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of a lantern swinging from the tent pole. Colonel Macpherson

78
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>enters the tent and behind him a nurse.

79
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 5>A nurse, will you send one of the orderlies for augment, Yes,

80
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 5>and have the patient moved to the officer's tipt Gentlemen,

81
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 5>you know we've been trying to do something for these

82
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 5>shell shocked cases. You know, these fellows who can't turn

83
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 5>to the left or to the right door, who can't

84
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 5>sit down without someone assisting them, you know the type

85
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 5>of course. Well, recently we've been trying hypnosis and Akmit,

86
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 5>a Persian, has been very successful. Tonight here isel, oh, splendid,

<v Speaker 5>splendid A come this way, gentler, gentlemen, this is Akmed.

88
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 5>Achmed has studied medicine at Hahmadan and he's studied hypnosis

89
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 5>under under the famous German scientist who has taken a

90
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 5>rescure at Ansley.

91
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 4>Here is a patient, sir, oh, yes, yes, and the

92
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 4>hospital record.

<v Speaker 5>Thank yourness, I knew the records name Brown rank corporal Regiment,

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Army service called mechanical Transport Classification driver.

95
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 4>That will correct.

96
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, where were you born? I was born in self Kinsington, sayer,

97
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 3>you talk no foreign languages, not me, sir.

<v Speaker 4>Not to bloom in one sair.

99
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 5>You're perfectly willing to be placed under hypnosis by doctor Akmet.

100
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Y sir, how y sir?

<v Speaker 4>your eye now breathe deeply.

103
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Acmet runs his slender fingers over Brown's forehead. The tenseness

104
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>leaves Brown's body, and with a sigh, almost a sigh

105
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:42.079
<v Speaker 1>of relief, Brown said, was back in the chair, fascinated

106
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>the officer's watch. Achmet, who steps back, folds his arms

107
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and fixes his gaze steadily on the man in.

108
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 5>The camp chair.

109
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 4>Your name, Saidrick. You know where you are in the

110
00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Holy Land.

111
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.279
<v Speaker 3>You know.

112
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 7>Why you are here to destroy the Unchristian Saracens.

113
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 4>Who is your leader? Richard good?

114
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 3>Heavens he he thinks he is in the crusade.

115
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 4>I do not get him excited. Please thank you now, saidre.

116
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 4>Tell me do you know this territory?

117
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 7>Yes, every inch of it?

118
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 4>Think deeply? Is there another road leading to l g.

119
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 7>Yes, get the parchment and pens and I will show

120
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 7>it lies beyond el Man. But parchment, I will show you.

121
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Paper and pencil is placed before him. With eyes staring

122
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 1>ahead and seeing nothing, Brown takes the pencil and begins

123
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>tracing lines on the paper. Amazement fills the faces of

124
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 1>the officers as.

125
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 4>The map takes sheep.

126
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>They hold their breadth as the pencil stops.

127
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 7>Here Hidden among the red sandstone rocks lies.

128
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 4>The other road to Eljae, the other road.

129
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>To weljay a'l.

130
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 4>The victory.

131
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 8>What an amazing story.

132
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 4>I I can hardly believe. My ear is amazing.

133
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 5>The amazing part of it was that the rough map

134
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 5>that Brown drew that night covered most of the territory

135
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 5>that was fought over during the finish of the war,

136
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 5>and the map was accurate, accurate enough for the British

137
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 5>to use and get into Algae.

138
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 4>It certainly was.

139
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 5>In less than twenty four hours, columns of infantry had

140
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 5>moved into the red sandstone defile, and Johnny Tuck realized

141
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 5>too late that ancient Gaza was not, as they had supposed,

142
00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 5>an impregnable city.

143
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 8>Then was the Brown or reincarnation of Cedric.

144
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I hardly think so. No, I don't believe that

145
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:05.600
<v Speaker 3>is the explanation.

146
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 5>Then you have an explanation, not my explanation, but I

147
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 5>can assure you that I went searching for one.

148
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 1>In just a moment, you will hear a solution to

149
00:09:12.879 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the mystery of the hypnotist ladies and gentlemen. In as

150
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 1>much as any solution must have necessary be supposition, liberties

151
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>of time, place, and character have been taken in the

152
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>solution for which you've been waiting. The scene is once

153
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 1>again the home of the newspaper correspondent Bob Howard, who

154
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>continues his story. Quite possibly, if someone had told me

155
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 1>the story, I would not have believed it. But here

156
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting there, listening to an uneducated mechanical transport

157
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>driver speaking in the voice and personality of a man

158
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>called Cedric, who'd undoubtedly served the Crusades under Rich in

159
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the Lionharts.

160
00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 8>There was no possible way in which the transport driver

161
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 8>could have known of that defile to the mountain.

162
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 4>Not a chance.

163
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 5>Even our intelligence didn't know of it, although later on

164
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 5>we did find a Bible student who pointed out that

165
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 5>the children of Israel had used the defile in their

166
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 5>fight against the Canaanine. You said that you were when

167
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 5>searching for an explanation, Yes, and found that there were

168
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 5>other instances of similar happenings. The solution would seem to

169
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 5>be that the spirit of this Cedric, who may have

170
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 5>been killed in the Crusades, still lingered on in that

171
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.200
<v Speaker 5>vicinity after death.

172
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 8>You mean that the spirit of the departed Cedric could

173
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 8>remain in that place through all these hundreds of years.

174
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 5>Yes, if you admit an external existence after death, then

175
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 5>there's nothing remarkable in the spirit being there for hundreds

176
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 5>of years, any more so than that spirit remaining there

177
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 5>for only if you.

178
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 4>Are I suppose that's true. Aura.

179
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 5>Now, the hypnotist, in placing the transport driver in a trance,

180
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 5>removed from him all control of his brain and left

181
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 5>his mind a condition into which the mind of Cedric could.

182
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 8>For a time enter, so that the mind of this

183
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.240
<v Speaker 8>Cedric could use the voice of the transport driver to

184
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 8>make known his identity and also his knowledge of the territory.

185
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I found out in my investigations that there had

186
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.000
<v Speaker 5>been a similar happening in France, and as a matter

187
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.559
<v Speaker 5>of fact, right now in Hollywood, California, a group of

188
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 5>medical men are investigating a young boy who not only

189
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 5>seems to be the reincarnated brain of a long dead Persian,

190
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 5>but this boy can wild, blindfolded, breed, and do almost

191
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.000
<v Speaker 5>anything that he can when he is not blindfolded.

192
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 8>Yes, it was his ability to do things blindfolded that

193
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 8>first attracted the doctors to examine him.

194
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 5>And if it were not for that fact, the medical

195
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 5>men probably would scoff at the reincarnation idea, I mean,

196
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 5>the idea that this boy could have any connection with

197
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 5>the Persian long dead.

198
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, it certainly gives one something to think about. Yes,

199
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.000
<v Speaker 4>makes me wonder who and where I was in some

200
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 4>dim

201
00:13:33.600 --> 00:14:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Something attack, something cosm of Sisters has at
