HOST: George Noory
GUESTS: Michael Breen, Joe Nickell
Journalist Michael Breen first began living in South Korea in 1982, and covered
North and South Korea for several newspapers, including the Guardian (UK), the
Times (UK), and the Washington Times. In the first half, he discussed the
dramatic changes that have happened in South Korea over the years, as well as
how the leadership of North Korea came to be and what it means to the United
States. What many don't realize, is that South Koreans have developed from
poverty and backwardness to advanced nation status in the space of a lifetime--
South Korea is currently the 11th biggest economy, and its culture is known
around the world.
He posited that South Korea's amazing development transpired through a series of
what he calls "miracles," which included democratization. When Breen first
arrived, the country was still in a military dictatorship, but the increase in
wealth created a middle class, who had different needs, including living in a
democracy, he explained. He recounted how he interviewed Kim Il-sung, the
founding father of North Korea back in 1994 (the grandfather of North Korea's
current leader, Kim Jong-un), when he was in his eighties. Breen does not
believe that North Korea will act as a catalyst for a world war, as it's viewed
more as a pain in the neck, and the forces around the country are all on the
same side as the US.

In the latter half, professional paranormal investigator and feature columnist
for Skeptical Inquirer science magazine, Joe Nickell discussed his latest work
on ghosts and Bigfoot. Using the best science and technology available, he has
researched many prominent ghost sightings and experiences. Recently, he's been
examining Bigfoot cases, and has concluded that many eyewitnesses are actually
describing brown bear sightings, as the animals are known to stand up on their
hind legs at times, and walk upright for brief distances. If there was an
unknown creature roaming the woods, wouldn't we have already found bones or some
other definitive remains?, he pondered.
Regarding crop circles, he compared them to graffiti, which can happen in the
middle of the night and in odd locations, but they are definitely man-made, he
said. Speaking of the 'Flatwoods Monster' case involving a alien/robot seen in
tandem with a UFO in West Virginia in 1952, Nickell visited the site and talked
to witnesses. He determined that the craft the two boys saw was a meteor (seen
in other states that night) and that the strange 7 ft. tall alien was actually a
barn owl perched on a tree limb. In one of his investigations into
paranormal/ghostly phenomena, he looked into the 'Atlanta House of Blood'
mystery, and concluded that the blood on the walls and floors had been
splattered onto the surfaces, probably by the homeowners, rather than somehow
oozing out on its own, as was claimed.
