Art Bell reunites with parapsychologist Dr. Barry Taff, who spent nine years at UCLA's parapsychology lab and has investigated over 4,000 cases involving ghosts, poltergeists, and abductions while consulting for the CIA, NSA, DARPA, and the FBI. Taff reveals his lifelong ability as a medical intuitive, describing how since childhood he has seen inside people's bodies and detected illnesses without examination.
Taff provides a detailed account of the famous Entity case from 1974, where a woman named Doris Bither in Culver City reported being assaulted by an unseen force. His team documented ice-cold temperature drops, a nauseating decomposition odor, and luminous lime-green orbs that coalesced into the apparition of a large male torso witnessed identically by 25 people. Taff concludes the phenomena were poltergeist activity generated by Doris herself, triggered by the interaction between her temporal lobe epilepsy and the electromagnetic properties of her environment.
The discussion expands into precognition, remote viewing, and Taff's theory that long-term memories may be stored externally rather than in the brain. He describes a precognitive remote viewing experiment at UCLA where researchers accurately described a randomly chosen subject one week before she arrived, including her family connection to the actor who played Zorro.

Key Moments
Four thousand investigations: Art introduces Taff as a UCLA parapsychology researcher with more than 4,000 cases behind him.
Doris Bither's first claim: Taff says Doris Bither opened the Entity case by claiming she had repeatedly been raped by a ghost.
Cold drops and decomposition odor: Taff reports temperature drops paired with a rotting-body odor during the Entity investigation.
Lime-green orbs: Taff describes three-dimensional lime-green luminous objects flying around the room.
A green male torso appears: Taff says the luminous form coalesced into a moving male torso with visible musculature.
