I just saw this show a few days ago on TLC. It features a believer and a skeptic. I've only seen one episode and although it is full of the usual repeated (and repeated again) soundbites and it is a bit shallow on detail I thought it was rather interesting because it had both viewpoints.
Now the show was broken into 2 basic segments. One was about a guy who had alleged unusual abilities. The other segment was about this place the devil is supposed to inhabit as the legend goes. Both parts were interesting.
The first featured a guy (I'll have to search and see if I can find his name) who did some cool stuff. First he told the skeptic to get a book from the front desk (any book). He then told him to read through any page and pick out a word which he did. Then concentrate on that word and the guy wrote the word on a piece of paper. -- same word the skeptic picked out. The guy also mentioned that the skeptic was going to change his mind about the word he picked, but then he didn't, ... and he was right. The skeptic was really in a bit of awe. Next this guy says he can drive a car blindfolded down an unnamed road at like 50mph. So the skeptic picks out the blindfold and the road and he was pretty nervous about being in a car driven by a blindfolded man. The guy (medium or whatever, ..don't know what to call him) gets blinfolded and holds on to the skeptics arm. He then "reads" the muscle movement apparently and drives the car down this mountain road pretty fast completely blindfolded. The skeptic was amazed as was I. Could he really navigate the car just by feeling the skeptics muscle movement?? Weird.
The next segment was a bit more iffy. The area was an unusual rock outcropping. But suffice it to say that bloodhounds would not enter this area at all (just like locals said). And at night they went into a cave and the believer got his face cut up, .. by something. Maybe a rock or bat or whatever. Still it was a little weird, especially the dog thing.
I would like to hear what anyone has to say if they've seen the show.
