Episode Details

Art Bell opens with a chilling live account from Lawrence Notts in West Virginia, who describes three years of relentless paranormal activity in his home. Lawrence explains that the disturbances began the week he signed a contract to sell timber from inherited land containing Native American burial grounds. Entities grab his arms, gouge his eyes, shake his bed, and have driven away his mother, his girlfriend, and his daughters. His friend Sonny Nestor joins to corroborate the events, describing videotape evidence and his own unsettling encounters.

Lawrence details his survival tactics, including strobe lights, high-powered spotlights, and a guard dog that was physically thrown down a hallway by an unseen force. A compass needle tracks the entities as they move through the room, and static electricity causes his hair to stand on end in their direction. An exorcism removed one spirit, but two more arrived violently in its place.

Dr. Katia Romanoff, holding a PhD in parapsychology, joins later and suggests the spirits are disturbed Native Americans with unfinished business. She recommends Lawrence seek a Native American shaman to serve as a cultural bridge. Art then discusses his own vivid past-life dreams with Katia and dream analyst Lauri Quinn Loewenberg.
