Examines groundbreaking experiments that show the possibility that plants respond to people's thoughts.
2. Strange Visitors (aka Oracle Chamber)
In this episode we investigate New Hampshire's Mystery Hill and the "Oracle Chamber." Was this site, as some believe, built by ancient Phoenicians, who traveled to America in the dim past, thousands of years ago? Or is it an elaborate hoax? Scientists and Archaeologists discuss their views and their theories on what the ruins may mean and who might have built them. Some of the stones seem to indicate their use was to track the solstices, equinoxes, and other celestial events. Some experts even believe that aliens may have been responsible for the site while others attribute it to Native Americans.
3. Ancient Aviators (aka Ancient Flight)
In this episode we investigate the mysterious markings on the plains of Nazca in Peru. What are these mysterious markings, who made them, and why? Were they an ancient landing field for aliens? The signs and symbols of various birds and insects are only discernible from the air. How then could the ancient Nazca's have made them unless they had an aerial view in which to work them out? What are the mysterious arrow straight lines that seem to lead nowhere and why are they there? These and other strange markings in the area make us wonder who made them and why? Were they man made or did someone else put them there?
