Brad Steiger, author of over one hundred thirty books on the paranormal, shares formative experiences that launched his lifelong research, including a childhood encounter with a large-headed, reptilian-eyed being at age five and a near-death experience at age eleven following a severe farm accident. During his near-death episode, Steiger describes leaving his body and being shown a series of geometric designs that conveyed a profound sense of meaning and order to existence.
Steiger recounts investigating a house where multiple generations of murders had occurred, where he and several two-hundred-pound men were physically lifted into the air by an unseen force after he challenged the entity. He also describes witnessing a ghost materialize as a sparkling, holographic figure and placing his hand inside it, feeling a cold, tingling sensation. Steiger categorizes hauntings into residual energy imprints and intelligent presences, noting most dramatic cases involve violent death.
Art Bell and Steiger discuss Bigfoot evidence, including hair samples a forensic scientist initially identified as human, and the Philadelphia Experiment connection through Steiger's work with Al Bielek. Steiger advocates approaching the paranormal with prayer, discipline, and respect rather than casual experimentation.
