<v Speaker 2>care you know, can't.

153
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>You'll just wait and see what the life can do this.

154
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 1>It's all right, my dear. Something in the back group

155
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>now down. But I know it isn't more life.

156
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not that horrible feeling again.

157
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't give it.

158
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Something moving rising?

159
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Two things? I got my gun now, don't please what

160
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought?

161
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 2>He didn't touch it?

162
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I know I hate it. God thy stopping out on

163
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the river. That's tiny, r right, can come.

164
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Of sit by me?

165
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Nothing? Tell me no? Okay? Sits on the ground, just

166
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.039
<v Speaker 1>in front of the timber spri thing on the ground.

167
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Chose the love I continued it it's impossible. No, not impossible,

168
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>not impossible. It is the Chinese rug. Shab two bullet

169
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>holes in it. It shaved him shives life, Yes, loves

170
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese Rug, and it saved more than a men

171
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>sives life. Well, that is an amazing Sorry that major

172
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 1>happened to doll hear me. We never talk of it,

173
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.159
<v Speaker 1>but you see old Jep I never sneered it native beliefs.

174
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 1>But colonel, you didn't finish our story. What do you mean?

175
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>What about the park here? Did you horse hi him?

176
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have to. No. No, next morning Loo thing

177
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>came and got me. We went out into compound and

178
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 1>they're right in front of that camp of tame risk,

179
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>wrapped in the strangling polt of the Chinese Rug. Say

180
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the old Sakir dead. Out of deference to people who

181
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>are still alive. Character names in these unsolved mysteries have

182
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 1>been changed inasmuch as any solution must have necessity be supposition.

183
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Liberties of time, place, and character exist in the solution

184
00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 1>that will be presented after you have heard from the

185
00:10:00.039 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>wisponsor sinking at the suffer, Ladies and gentlemen, the solution

186
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 1>for what you have been waiting. But tell me, colonel,

187
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't you ever try to find out how such a

188
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 1>thing could be possible. You understand, of course that workers

189
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 1>in black metic, whether they be in Hitti Ethic or India,

190
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>believe there's something personal. There's kind of hair, fingernails clipping

191
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and such light are an essentially breathe into the formula.

192
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>They're black art and your wife Dorothy and taking the

193
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>stand of hair from the Chinese rug and giving that

194
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to the park here because they did his powers from

195
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 1>controlling her exactly, all the concentration, all the pent up theory,

196
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>the hatred and diabolical coming at the fact here what

197
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>leveled at the objects most totally connected with that kind

198
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>of hair. I can understand that, and I can understand,

199
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>since you say it so that the Phakia might have

200
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>une harmed Dorothy, who is a living being, But that

201
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 1>such power could really affect a thing like a rug

202
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>is something else. Again. Scientists are divided in their opinion

203
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>as to how such things are possible. But here let

204
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>me show you a brief quotation from the Encyclopedia Britannica.

205
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Physical phenomena can be grouped under two main heads. Telican

206
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 1>niesis or the movement of objects at a distance other

207
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 1>than by ordinary physical means, and tell it plesme or

208
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 1>the exclusion from the body of the medium of a substance,

209
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes amorphous, sometimes resembling portions of the human body, or

210
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>even complete figures. Phenomena of both these kinds have long

211
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 1>been familiar. And then the quotation then teleconesis, the movement

212
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of an object is recognized by scientists as being possible

213
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>decided to resolve. And I can assure you that if

214
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you live in India long enough, you will see more

215
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>than one demonstration of the power of concentrated mind over

216
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>purely inanimate meta. Thank you, colonel, but after hearing your story,

217
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I really don't believe that I want to
