Joining Richard Syrett in the first half, psychologist and paranormal investigator Peter Sacco recounted a terrifying 1970 poltergeist case from Ontario, Canada. Officers responding to a suspected domestic disturbance in St. Catharines, instead encountered a scene where a wooden kitchen chair appeared to be magnetically pinned to the floor, trapping an eight-year-old boy beneath it. Despite multiple officers' efforts, the chair would not budge until it suddenly released on its own. As they processed the event, loud banging noises were heard, and a plate flew off a wall, narrowly missing one officer's face, prompting one cop —an Irish newcomer— to flee in terror, exclaiming, "It's leprechauns!"
The police investigation lasted 28 days, Sacco stated, with Officer Crawford witnessing incidents firsthand, including a couch that levitated with three adults on it. On the 28th day, "the kid is on a bed in his bedroom. All of a sudden, everything's flying around the room," and his bed rose nearly two feet, Sacco marveled. The case attracted widespread attention, even reaching Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, where it was mentioned during the monologue.
Addressing the poltergeist phenomena, Sacco delineated a rigorous investigative approach: ruling out natural causes such as pranks, plumbing issues, or psychological explanations like mass hysteria or illusions. He noted, "You have cops that are not part of that equation... eyewitnesses to it," reinforcing credibility. He discounted psychokinesis as an explanation, citing scientific research that limits mind-induced object movement to very light items, contrasting with reports of levitating beds and couches. This led him to consider spiritual or demonic activity, especially since the disturbances ceased after a priest's intervention. Sacco also spoke about his TV show, The Paranormal Profilers, and hauntings in the Niagara area.

In the latter half, author and former crop circle maker Citizen D shared his unique insider perspective on crop circle making in England. Initially a believer, he thought "it was ET or Gaia or secret military testing or time travelers" making the mysterious circles. But then, he spent a season visiting over 40 formations and eventually joined a human crop circle-making team. He reported that while humans created these intricate designs using simple tools like boards and ropes, the creators themselves experienced unexplained phenomena. Describing how teams work covertly, often at night, he said they used tractor tramlines to avoid leaving footprints and employed wooden boards to flatten crops without breaking stems. "You just hold the rope, and you stomp... the crop is far more moist in the evening, so it does tend to bend when it's boarded," he explained.
Despite the human handiwork, he emphasized that these circles are not mere hoaxes, noting that makers may experience strange lights and orbs, time distortions, apparitions, electrical effects, prophetic dreams, uncanny synchronicities, and powerful compulsions. He also shared the ethical code among makers: "As long as you're making the crop circle, it's yours, but the second that you leave it, it doesn't belong to you anymore. It belongs to the world."
Suggesting a complex interplay with collective consciousness and the land's inherent power, he recalled a transformative experience where, after completing a formation, mysterious lights appeared around the perimeter —like "the biggest necklace in the world"— signaling the circle's completion. This event convinced him of the phenomenon's authenticity beyond mere hoax. He also shared an intriguing story of a retired circle maker who was compelled at midnight to create a specific design in a particular field. Despite reluctance and physical nausea when attempting to start elsewhere, the maker felt a "rush of energy" once at the correct site. After finishing, a group of Wiccans celebrated the pattern, revealing it matched a sigil on a pendant they wore and had invoked silently during their midnight ritual.
