during the years 1949 through 1970 Dr.
Jonathan Rankin conducted extensive

research in the field of psychic
phenomena and catalogued hundreds of

events that defy rational explanation
the most intriguing aspect of the

research was the discovery of an
apparent relationship between many of

these events and certain cemeteries
located throughout the United States

according to Dr. Rankin 453 people
directly involved in these strange

events were buried in only 23 separate
cemeteries throughout the nation this

apparent final grouping of people who
were touched by the unknown is referred

to in parapsychology as the Rankine
cluster phenomena the following episodes

are based on supposedly true events
described in Dr. Rankin's writing and

involving one of the mystery cemeteries

there are few thing is as strange as
reality for reality comes to us wearing

many faces disguised as all manner of
things

what is reality and what is illusion
some things we think a real may be

merely wisps of smoke from our minds and
some things we think illusion I'm really

cloaked in that guys so they may play
their part without knowing what they

really are

did these events happen by coincidence

or by an unknown and unknowable
calculation let's start by populating

this day's stage with some of the
characters Randeep our three young men

college students all the boy next door
all people we've known before brother

Taylor well meaning you know god-fearing
marry blessed be the name of the Lord

and so Lord we come into the the earthly
remains of John Davis

Johnny Davis the one who was the rather
dubious place of honor at this gathering

and this is Camille Davis Johnny's
mother the seventh daughter of a seventh

son does she have anything to do with
our story perhaps that's unfolded he was
cut down untimely would you and your

infinite wisdom know best take the soul
of this young man Lord and may he dwell

in your hallways forever the Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away blessed be the

name of the Lord amen

listen you well to my word one buy land
to buy sky look to the heptagon for it

is there seven times around with go the
three of you and may your reward be just

and true look to the heptagon for it is
there seven times around go the three of
you and may your reward be just excuse

me sir would you like a break from when
you drank ah

sir would you like another drink excuse
me I think she's talking to you would

you care for something oh I'm sorry yes
it would sorry father

guess I was pretty deep in thought I
didn't even hear and we all get that way

sometimes deep thought is sometimes a
bridge way across our problems

father do you believe in the
supernatural

I'm sorry well I guess it sounds pretty
silly but I was wondering if you

believed in the supernatural don't you
realize the supernatural is my business
you might say I'm a pro I do thought of

it that way I guess you're right I'm one
of those many people who have a

supernatural boss he's a good boss
gentle boss one who knows all the

answers sometimes doesn't tell you what
they are what made you think of the

supernatural anyway oh nothing listen do
well to my word one by land two by sky

well yes something now look father I'm
not a Catholic it doesn't make any

difference no I guess it doesn't

something has been bugging me for the
last couple of days and I really need

somebody to talk to about it so I've got
two ears told well I guess I should
begin at the beginning

it all started in this pool hall Randy
pal this friend of mine and I and Dave

Terrell
we're all roommates at state I'm sorry

father I'm Frank Cameron
good to know you Frank keep all the

Dwayne good to know you too father

well anyway we were at this pool hall
just having fun and there was this guy

there Johnny Davis we were just sort of
kidding him around you know we didn't

mean any harm

sure she's ready don't you think so Dave
sure she is man she was ready last night

you know what

I'll bet what you fix though Johnny I
don't know man
which might be a little tough for him

think Johnny who is she I don't know
many girls she's the new kid just moved

it down the block
she's about 17 and well you know hey

baby why don't you give her a call we
didn't send ol' Johnny over from right

here all right
I'll just do that

hello Tommy remember me this is Randy
yeah I'm just going straight you are

look girl what are you doing tonight

hey look darling

David Frank over here we have a good
friend named Johnny I'd like to have a

day with you you can that's terrific
well you know what I mean don't you

Tommy

other well look this guy that's coming
over tonight is a personal friend of

mine dig yeah so I want you take real
good care okay yeah he'll be over in

about ten minutes okay
yeah hey Joey

well she wants to see him what's what's
address hey I forgot her name is dolly

okay Johnny get off

hey man what was that address she sent
him to know know what Divis is a mate

who's there it's me Jeremy Johnny you

know Randy call

who do you want oh come on Darlene Oh
put me down

just open the door there's no one here
by that name

this is the Wilson residence bear named
Darlene

no young man you've probably got the
wrong address and besides that you're
liable to get hurt walking up to a

strange house in the middle of the night
why I've got my husband's pintle out and

I certainly don't want to hurt anybody

it was just charming I I know that I
shouldn't have had the gun in the house

but my husband insisted because he
travels so much

Oh

it was just a job it's all right Mrs. it
was a tragic action now I'm sure there
won't be any charges but you understand

you'll have to be at the station
tomorrow I'll tell my husband

the boy John Davis lived about six

blocks is there any reason why he might
have come here girl neighbor well that's
how it happened father it hadn't been

for a damn fool trick Johnny would still
be alive today Frank I know it's
upsetting but a lot of times without

meaning to we set into motion things we
can't control then maybe if you wait a

minute father
I know what you're gonna say effort it

before but that's not the end of the
story tact I'm not sure it's got an end

goal
well we all went to the funeral not a

big town everyone doing like Johnny
we could have cut our own throats anyway

after the funeral
his mother turned to us and said the

strangest thing listening well to my
word one buy land to buy sky look to the

heptagon for it is there seven times
around go the three of you and may your

reward they just and true that can only
tell you about the tone of her voice

look in her eye
all right she had just lost her only

child you can't be too angry with her
anger I know but it's what she said and

I looked up heptagon that means a seven
sided figure and she said seven times
around go the three of us what our

Father
seven days after the funeral Dave and I

were going to chemistry lab we were in
kind of a hurry

yep

the way it happened father exactly seven
days love Frank

strange things happen to all of us
you're upset because of a distraught

room marketed graveside made by a woman
who'd lost her only child now you're

looking for reasons that don't exist the
only reason is sheer coincidence

besides time will take it away
I assume it was some time ago no it
wasn't it was just last Thursday today's

Thursday I know it was one week ago
today that makes this the 14th day and

14 is 2 times 7 oh stop it Frank you're
letting a simple coincidence jar your

entire life a god works in strange ways
but he doesn't deal in hexes or

witchcraft forget it you got a life to
lead my advice is just to go back to

school sure father sure thanks for
letting me bend your ear what else do
you think we're here for

well prank
this is where I get off hope I've helped

you believe me father you have have a
nice trip

flight 180 crash look God where they
taking

Vayner baby

right Frank

father

it's quite all right Frank it's not bug
it's the 14th day remember

nothing more you can do father

father could I talk to you a minute
something's bothering me well certainly

father doing shall we go inside
no that's not necessary what I have to

ask is so strange and unreasonable that
not only do I want God and you to hear

it
I want the outdoors to hear it to be as

bad as that I'm probably not father but
if you remember I had just gotten off of

flight 180
before that crash you recall seven

people were killed yes yes I do
terrible thing was last Thursday wasn't

it yes seven days ago let me tell you
the story that one of the more
unfortunate people on that plane told me

so father do you think such a series of
coincidences can just happen well father

drain on our stator you know I know your
heart is troubled and this would be the

21st day wouldn't it yes it would
I don't know how I'm going to get this

out of my mind
shall I tell you if you can father it's

really fairly simple as most things
usually are you mentioned the third

boy's name and you know that he attends
college at the State University why
don't you just call him though I've been

afraid it's a good idea father I've been
waiting for God to give me the answer

dad moves in strange ways and sometimes
employs the most ridiculous messengers

yeah Randy Randy Pausch nah let's to
chose booth Holly ain't here it's sort

of important I'd like to talk to it oh
I'm sorry sir I was just kidding Randy's

gone for the day
but I can have him call you when he gets

in this evening no siree Scone skydiving

so Randy Powell went skydiving what was
it that woman named Camille said won by

land and to my air didn't Frank say that
he found a heptagon to be a seven sided

figure and didn't Dave died seven days
after Johnny's funeral and Frank 14 days

after what is the reality and what is
the illusion our story doesn't tell us

but I wonder if Randy knows that it's a
21st day

listen you won by land to buy sky for
the hexagon for it is there

seven times around other three of you
and two may your reward to be just and

true

it is tradition that ghosts and ghouls
and various other citizens of the

grotesque wrapped themselves in
malevolent mists and deep darkness

horror is a condition existing most
often when morning seems farthest away

so it would seem unlikely that this
bright spring day in nineteen six would

begin a horror that to this day wants a
small community in southern Missouri a

boy and his dog chased dreams and
butterflies back and forth across

Saturday

observe one man child and one man
child's dog on their way to a uniquely

soul-shattering rendezvous with darkness
a terrifying encounter with the unknown

you

Jebel where is that boy he goes fishing
plumb forgets about the time he's got

that dog with him so I guess it's
alright I'm doing wish he'd hurry though

worried the pot liquor and the stews
don't be thick as molasses gotta get

colder tonight

hey weather for this time of year fog
will be second season

oh baby that pot vigor you better water
down again ball sometimes that boys a

caution oh goodness

boy was fishing fell asleep the Dern dog

plumb disappeared and she ain't come
back man kid after Potter help find the

dog but act yo he's it dog will come
back and didn't pay it no more mine so

the boy went out looking for his dog in
the middle of the night he's fine
heck no that ain't the whole story come

on Dr. Joe went out looking for her son
found him near out of his mind at the

edge of a big hole in the ground
what : about I don't know this some big

hole somewhere near Joe's place I'd
imagine with all you heavy rains we've

been having it worse than opening the
cave you know this count is full yeah

that's true underground rivers and
places it fell into man you'd never get

out
yeah the craziest thing was the sounds

coming out of that hole in the ground
Joe and the boy both are crazy sounds

weird like like someone was in trouble
in their first maybe an animal down in

there hmm I said it was problem doesn't
know yeah they don't think so anyway Joe

is going up some constables trying to
get him to go out there and check up on

keeping any your boys wanna go with us
out the jealous place seems like there's

a new cave opening maybe anyway Joe
seems to think there's something down in
it moaning and groaning that's right

yeah we're her she'll go you know we
haven't had as much excitement around
here since what a joke got it in trouble

that poop sale all right let's go
wouldn't want to miss this back later

I don't want them to leave me alright it
is the constable and some other men gone

out to investigate a new cave where
someone something's falling on it now go

on home

what are you gonna do Paul somebody
going down the hole don't know yet John

we haven't decided
Constable's gonna look it open

my wife didn't leave it

Wow Wow what do you think I don't know

Joe here let's try these

I don't think it could be the dogs

I never heard of noise monkey so one
thing that we don't leave we're gonna

get soaked yeah you may be right Joe
nothing we can do around here at least

why it's not about a robot boys

what about my dog paw you think it might
be her down there

no don't give me the sound like that
come on

I don't know I think we should have
stayed out there

let's stop raining a few minutes besides
there might be somebody down there who

well how in the hell do I know anybody
old boom but if there is someone down

there and I think we ought to go now and
try to get him out you know a little

Christian attitude wouldn't hurt any of
us around here oh no Richard the mayor
about the toll could be she's flipped no

well I think the other guy got there
tomorrow whatever's out there in that
hole ain't human or animal it's a work

of that devil

maybe it's ER
it's a warning

son go settle the man ride into town and

get the constable ask him to get Hank
and Ned and anybody else you can find

and meet me at the hole it's time we
settle this thing

sure
I wish you wouldn't go not tonight

anyways why don't you wait till tomorrow
when you have more light what difference

does it make

have a worry about it Joe now look here
woman you and your 4 warnings in

premonitions nonsense while the boy
still thinks it has something to do with

this dog now I really don't think the
dog is down there but we always suggest

to at least try don't you agree and that
that wailing noise is getting serious

it could be danger you too there's no
stopping you you be careful now year

scary sound

well I'll say it again there ain't
nothing neither human or animal in that

hole you may be right you know I say
we're gonna drop the stick of dynamite

down that hole and blow it to kingdom
come
oh no the dog might be down there

what's what I'm here nothing I must have
walked I guess yeah I remember reading

about a cave like that most of these big
room went back for miles

I mean miles all on the ground mind you
like a city almost room after room of

these crazy pillars of rocks a million
different colors some different some

crazy some of the pillows even upside
down hanging from the ceiling somebody

ought to go down there hell no you bust
the rope what I think we all do it Joe

he might be hurt too and how'd you ever
get out

I don't likely to have anything to do
with the gold well if it means so much

to you I'll go down here
leastways to take a look I'm sure not

gonna let you do it bill so you can
throw that rope over that limb let her

hang down right here

I gave me a million dollar and I
wouldn't want you to go down that hole
in the end of Monroe I went down there I

wouldn't want you on the top end neither
do you man hold on tight to the end of

that rope it's plenty deep maybe water
down there too all right let's get it

over with
shut that lantern ready

ciao thank you so tom we're in the hell
have you been

I got here as soon as I could well Cole
got the handle this rope we're letting
Joe down in the hole

to pull Joe

he's still breathing help my mother

breathing

God look at his eyes

funny weather at this time we do any

place they'll settle the man right into
town and get to console it's time we

settle this thing what do you think we
ought to do a job
I'll do it pop it just might be lady I

don't want to get her back it means so
much to you

he's alive

agent out eating

no one knows what happened down in that
cave Joe is a strong intelligent man who

had lived his entire life close to the
earth never before had he intruded upon

the affairs of that godless society that
dwells deep within the buck but he did

leave him after a manner of speaking
somehow through this wild experience he

had lost his mind he was insane and
spent the rest of his life in the state

insane asylum

there is a bridge in our mind that leads

through time and memory from what we
know - sure is beyond knowing it sways

high in tightly dangerous above the
canyons of our disbelief like some

spectral spans spun by Devils for us to
tread to walk this bridge is to accept

all kinds of possibilities especially
the most exciting possibility of all the

possibility of impossibility some tales
of the impossible so capture the

imagination that they quickly spread
over much of the country the girl in the

bridge is such a tale countless
variations of this story are told and

retold in North Carolina it is the Lydia
story in Illinois it's the specter of

the mists and in Texas it's called the
White Rock lady dozens of interviews and

hours of newspaper research traced the
story's origin and consequence spread

across the country from Central Arkansas
beginning in 1929 come now and explore

the possibility of the impossible come
stand beside the girl on the bridge

best messy all right
you're hurt

take you home

and I love her because I don't want to
see her ruin her life

can you think that loving and marrying
Paul will ruin her life Emma you know

what that boys family's like you always
before you know that boy works very hard

at making something of himself
he reminds me of someone I used to know

when did money start to be more than
your family

it doesn't really you're willing to
sacrifice your daughter's happiness for

it you're breaking her heart and I am
ashamed for you she'll get over it good

time I think I know what's best for her

she's not to see Paul again I don't
understand why she doesn't like that

Carver boy like him John she does like
him he just happens to believe you

out we might not have much we will have

each other we would happy wouldn't you
know you

there's no other way is there what other
way is there

let's get married today yesterday let's
get married now right now alright you

mean it you really mean it

hey where you going

good evening sir yes I hate to do bother
you like this sir but my name is Senator

Brooks plan I have a young lady in the
car who says she listed this address now

she's quite upset seems to have been of
an accident just made a mistake

you're willing to sacrifice your

daughter's happiness for it you're
breaking her heart
I am shaped for you must never long at

first she's gone I don't know I'm sure
going to find out

I don't want my wife button set again
I don't understand any of this

I'd often was in the back
on wood

by the old bringing
right that's where we found her but how

did you know let me try to me

she was standing there you stopped to
help

and she asked you to bring her for this
address

well it's right yes there's only one
thing wrong senator that accident

happened many years ago

what
to

ah

you can we could go back to yesterday

I know that if we had the time things
changed

wish I still had the kind of

before the lights were like the car

if there were only something I could do
it say

understood

you had to

and change

it has been said that our lives are
merely bridges through time but what a

death we know where death begins but
across what does it spend where does it

lead these are questions Susan could
easily answer if we could but find her

and this too is possible for dozens of
people including the senator say she

still stands upon the bridge waiting
perhaps Ryu the passer away once more

do we make these memorials to the dead
to help us remember surely we would

never forget those we once loved then is
there some other reason some obscure
force buried deep in the racial memory

of man that makes us create a ceremony
whenever one of us crosses over to the

next portion of eternity can we measure
that force the force released by a death

and do we know what form it may take
we know what energy is released by a

birth by the start of a life in this
plane we celebrate it joyously at every
anniversary but what about its opposite

the energy released in this plane of
existence when a life comes to an end
doesn't some portion of it pass for

those who loved him haven't you noticed
that the ones left behind

seems somehow stronger even in the midst
of their grief

look at the dead boy's mother her occult
powers never manifested before our

almost irresistible
listen.you well - my word one by land

two by sky look to the heptagon for it
is there seven times around go the three
of you and may reward be just now what

about Johnny's death the accident that
set in motion this whole train of events

was it an accident was his death the
climax of some unfathomable plan rather

than a mindless happy
his mother remember was the seventh

daughter of a seventh son her powers
were real even if unknown to her until

Johnny's death before you dismiss this
as an unfortunate accident consider for

a moment the incredible chain of
coincidental conditions that had to be

met an address to send Johnny to chosen
at random a woman at home alone who

opened her door to a stranger at night a
careful husband who left his wife a

loaded automatic with the safety off
who's there it's me Johnny Johnny you

know Randy call

who do you want oh come on Darlene no
put me down

just open the door there's no one here
by that name
this is the Wilton residence they're

named Darlene
no young man you've probably got the

wrong address and besides that you're
liable to get hurt

walking up to a strange house in the
middle of the night why I've got my

husband's pistol out and I certainly
don't want to hurt anybody death sudden

violent this is the trauma that will
reinforce the thrust of the mind turn
loose the death force that strange

parallel to the life force where will
that force go do you know and are you

all together sure you would want to know
let us consider witchcraft for a moment

genuine witches are difficult to
identify they operate without a license

they're not required to register
anywhere but witchcraft is booming in

America and England thousands of people
are dabbling in black or white magic

surely then witches must reveal
themselves from time to time if only to

keep the faith of the coven
fresh and strong witchcraft began

apparently with earliest mankind once it
was called the old religion probably

tribal fertility rites forced
underground by religious persecution

experts in occult matters claimed to
trace the origins of black magic to

migrations from a lost continent of
Atlantis the last of which reached Egypt

where the powerful secret diagrams were
recorded in the Egyptian Book of the
Dead

the Egyptian Book of the Dead famous is
the source of most of today's rituals in

the occult in a matter of magic whether
white or black the key ingredient is

belief and who can measure the power of
suggestion which is where belief begins

remember this suggestion by Johnny's
mother was reinforced by the boy's death
if a victim is at all susceptible to

suggestion and knows a curse was put on
him

the knowledge alone may be enough to do
him in one way or another

whatever is out there in that hole ain't
human or animal work of the devil what

do you believe because belief will make
itself the power of man's mind the power

of his belief is only now beginning to
be understood
be careful above all of what you decide

you want the wise man said because you
will probably get it

these men are making ready to explore an
unknown but they have already convinced

themselves of the nature and quality of
what they will find there they are

expecting evil anticipating enemy rather
than friend danger rather than promise I

ask you what did you expect them to find
because they did

if I gave you a million dollars I
wouldn't want you to go down that hole

in the end of Monroe when I went down
there I wouldn't want you on the top end

either do you man hold on tight to the
end of that rope it's plenty deep I may

be water down there too
all right let's get it over with got

that linen ready what was the exact
moment when Joe decided to say goodbye

to his wife by dropping the photograph
from the wall or was that something Joe

decided was it a voluntary thought
powered by the extreme fear that gripped

him or involuntary the last lucid flash
before his sanity went

we remain baffled by the power of
rational thought by the hidden sources
of creativity by the marvels the human

mind can conceive and achieve we have
attacked the brain with scalpel drugs

electricity but the suspicion grows that
its secrets are beyond us is the mind

more than the brain it is beginning to
appear that there is almost nothing the

mind cannot do from controlling the
subtle nuances of our own bodies to

hurling unlikely technical complexities
across the galaxies may it not then
preside over its own death in some

peculiar fashion we may never understand
some fashion we may never want to

understand what understanding bring
greater fear but we must work our way

past fear if mankind is to go on the
next great step in the evolution of man

is to learn about his mind his brain not
only where it came from

we make educated guesses about that but
more important where can it possibly go

given the courage to overcome fear what
can we learn about ourselves the girl on

the bridge is a classic ghost story
classic because it is a keystone of our
culture the dear departed who do not

quite depart why can't they let go is it
because we can't let go of them is our
love the anchor that holds some part of

them Lear

miss Missy warrant maybe it is something
even stronger than love more enduring

like obligation the belief that there is
something you must do and remember in

the enchanted room in the unique miracle
of the mind what you believe to be true

either is true or your mind will make it
so Randy Powell when sky died

what was it that woman named Camille
said won by land and to my air didn't

Frank say that he found a heptagon to be
a seven sided figure and didn't Dave die

seven days after Johnny's funeral and
Frank 14 days after what is the reality

and what is the illusion our story
doesn't tell us but I wonder if Randy

knows that it's a 21st day

one by a land to by sky before the

hexagon for it is there seven times
around other three of you and to may

your reward to be just and true
