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.
