Could you imagine getting in trouble and having Robert Stack as your dad? "Who took the car out for a joyride last night? Was it YOU?"

The Etta Smith story made me so mad, but it was 1980 and a different time. I checked and was glad to find that she sued the police. It wasn’t settled until 1986, but she was awarded $1,184 in lost wages and 25k for suffering. I’m sure the lawyer took most of it, but at least she got something.

I never get bored of watching this show ! Use to watch this as a kid and started watching again now I'm an adult 🙃 could watch this all day and never get bored RIP Robert stack he definitely was the best host out of all the others after him thanks for uploading these videos brings back so many memories 👍

The woman reveals her son died in a mountain climbing accident. "Were there head injuries?" I'd pay good money to hear him explain how he thinks someone can fall down a mountain and not suffer a head injury.

I had a brain aneurysm. Nobody believed me either until I forced them to give me a MRI. Some doctors just don't care. Even after it was discovered as well.

The special effects and reanactment on unsolved mysteries is awesome 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I'm somewhat of a Psychic Extraordinaire myself. I foreseen that I would be cold if I went outside without a coat. I wore a coat and now I'm warm and comfortable.

The beauty of it is, I don't have to wait till next Friday, thanks to the wonders of technology and time, I can watch the very next episode right now, and who would miss that? OOOPs, the wife's just come home with dinner, bummer!

Etta Smith should have sued the police for false arrest. Four days arrest without material evidence or a confession is unjustifiable.

Man this show is awesome! Truly a well done production. Highly entertaining and evokes some appalling emotions. Everything from unsolved murders, disappearances, angels, NDE's, paranormal, conspiracies, UFOs, historical events, crime who-dun-its and everything in between! The host, the theme song, the reenactments... all are TOP NOTCH!

LOL they scared the baby when they blew the microwave up for the show 13:21

I gotta tell ya, that actor who plays Van Praagh is SPOT ON! I mean he has his mannerisms and speech down pat. Kudos do that actor - he really studied him.

Hard to believe people ever got repair service for a microwave!

"your husband is standing next to me" oh really? DESCRIBE HIM. WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE? if he is standing there, this should be easy.

The story of the murdered firemen which is previewed at the end of this episode is very impressive. The case was solved as a direct result of the program’s broadcast.

Nice to watch back to back over and over again when i was young we had to wait all week for the next one lol still scared

Super strange to watch the beginning of this episode and know it’s in part about my Mom, Judy. My Dad saw this episode back when it aired and said it was misleading, but I haven’t seen it until recently. Lots of gaps in the telling of my mom’s last days and strange that my Mom would be a big part of this episode. I guess because the story is more about Jeanine and she felt she could use my Mom as proof?! There were a lot of indications throughout my Mom’s life that she had something seriously going on. Years upon years of migraines. My Mom’s side of the family never took any of Jeanine’s claims seriously. I didn’t meet her until I was around 10 and, frankly, she weirded me out. The doctor’s did run scans but didn’t find the aneurysm and sent her home. She died a couple days later. Later the courts found the hospital negligent in not seeing the aneurysm on her scans. So there you have the full story about my Mom’s death, in a nutshell.

The local hospital here did something similar to my cousin he went to the hospital because he had trouble breathing the sent him home twice in one day so he went to the one in Boston and by the time they found out what was wrong it was to late he died 2hrs after getting to boston hospital. Just because he had a history of drug use in the local hospital they just blew him off and sent him home when they could have saved his life

these are the episodes of unsolved mysteries i like the most or that i find very interesting

Usually when they talk about supernatural stuff on this show (or any show) I can’t help but roll my eyes. This episode however was… different!😱

I wish I had the ability to blame my telekinesis the next time I break things

"I see pictures everywhere at the funeral. And a centerpiece picture in the middle" Yeah, thanks chief. Very impressive 👏 that's only the same exact layout for just about every funeral I've ever been too. I'm surprised it didn't go more like this. Van Pragh: at your son's funeral...I'm feeling that he was lying down...like in a...rectangle box? Casket? He's showing me a casket. Mom: 😮

Jeanine's story was like a Greek tragedy. There's a premonition and someone ends up either getting hurt or dying. And like some Greek tragedies, certain events could've been prevented. Instead of arguing with her sister's doctor, she could've told him that there was a history of brain issues (i.e. strokes, aneurisms) in her family. At least, that might've been encouraged him to do a MRI.

I need powers to talk to those who have passed on. I would really like to communicate with Robert Stack. LOL

why would anyone be surprised that the police would focus on someone who knew so much about a crime?

Van Praagh. The only thing he's sensitive to is lactose. Otherwise he's making a living asking questions, then turning immediately around and giving people their own answers to his questions as if he was seeing them in his mind's eye. Let's see what happens when he is denied the ability to ask his ridiculous questions and provide answers on his own without any assistance from his victims. As in no more "did you have a son?" Duh, that's a question designed to cast a wide net, one highly likely to produce an affirmative response. His questions regarding passing over to solicit the cause of the death. He starts with the most common cause at a young age, accidental deaths, then keeps asking until getting to the specific. They tell him everything rather than the other way around.

I have always loved this show! Since I was young I have always had visions and dreams that predicts the future. In 1984, my godsister told us her father had a massive stroke. We played A $T that Saturday, Sunday morning I went home to get my hair done. That night I prayed for him to get better. However, that same night I had a dream that he was already gone because he passed away late Saturday night.

The actor playing Van Praagh is as hilarious as the real man.

I HAVE HAD THESE VISIONS ALL MY LIFE THRY HAVE NEVER BEEN WRONG!

In the case of Etta, that's why people don't want to talk to police when they know something, because the police automatically suspect that person,

Re accuring theme is the first psychic lady has anger issues...how many times did they mention she was "upset"

You can't be a spinster if you're already a widow.

39:52 Van Praagh pretends his “psychic gifts” told him about their son, but UM conveniently leaves out that the case of Kevin Wheel was featured the prior year in season 6.

I love this episode. I find psychic phenomena fascinating. Just amazing!

His voice was perfect for this show. When would say "and killer has never been found" or "the killer is still on the loose" it was so creepy.

I love this programme. I loved watching it when I was younger. Sky one every Sunday at seven I think.

1:34 Electric lady 16:00 murder premonition 26:58 James Van Praaght

You never warm a baby's bottle in a microwave!! It's very dangerous. You should always warm on the stove.

Skeptics are skeptics. They decide they don’t believe and then find reasons to confirm their skepticism

22:44 smoking indoors ! How times have changed !!!!

I managed to turn off my A/C window unit and turn down the volume on the TV without touching them while 10 feet away .

I don’t understand the precognitive stuff.. I’ve experienced it myself and don’t know how it happens or why.

James:''did your son die in a accident like a car accident?' Parents ''he feel off a mountain'' James: ''okay because he's telling me it was a accident'' James: '' did he break any bones? he's telling me something about a leg or a arm or his back skull or nose possibly his earlobe?...'' FAKE A^^ JAMES & NAIVE INDIVIDUALS.

Why didn't the psychic sister send her sister to another doctor if she was so sure it was a brain aneuryism?

The minute detectives bring you in, immediately ask if your arrested, if they say no then LEAVE. If they say yes then have them read you your rights and DO NOT TALK and have a lawyer there.

Where’s the episode of the girl who was allegedly moving objects with her mind. That’s one of my favorite segments of all time

I will wait for these people to call me and tell me a deceased individual wants to talk to me. If they are communicating with the dead finding me shouldn't be an issue.

Heart attack? NO. Accident? NO. Medical? YES! HE"S PSYCHIC! LOL

It's funny the show that has been a platform for psychics for 7 seasons decides to point out that psychic readings are quackery.

I remember the Etta Smith story. I was sad for her when she got arrested for her psychic visions.

Anybody with a library card can look up old obituaries for the families and talk about lots of details

@21:00 She goes out to find a murdered woman and she takes her young daughter along with her to traumatize her, great mother eh ?

Hold on! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the body of the deceased is never brought inside Temple/ Synagogue due to the fact that it is considered "unclean". How come this story shows a casket with a Rabbi speaking in memory of the deceased? Would someone care to shed a little light on the subject?

Lmao. The begging commentary was funny... “her psychic visions were so correct that she started to become a suspect.” Lmao.

The actress playing electric girl has a funny voice never heard that accent before

How do we know these things happened to Jeanine or that she was responsible for them? An iron stays hot after it has been unplugged. She could have unplugged the iron on accident before her mother glanced over at her and saw that it wasn't plugged in. Identifying her sister is not a big deal since she probably resembled her.

Watching Van Praagh I believe Michael Shermer is correct. I think Van Praagh is very perceptive and intuitive, but he is not really telling you anything he knows of the deceased subject, he’s essentially telling you the things you are telling him. I think our inherent but often hidden wish for an afterlife and a connection with hose whom we’ve lost causes us to grant him and similar mentalists/mediums a subconscious benefit of the doubt, and we and he focus on the hits rather than the many misses. I’m not denying or refuting each and every paranormal or spiritual experience that people have genuinely reported, but I don’t believe I’m really witnessing anything beyond intuition and a deep desire to believe on the part of all of the parties involved.

Segment 3: If van Pragh was really speaking to the Raskins' son, he would tell them, not ask them.

In my opinion, Etta's story would make a great novel, or even a great movie.

The psychic knew there were pictures at the funeral? Amazing

Praagh is such an evil man, preying on people that just lost a love one and are grieving.

haha even the actress in the reenactment has matching eyebrows. 21:02

I am a fan of this show I like to see how things turn out and my favourite host is Robert Stack

i hope the psychic sues the police department for false arrest.

When I was 14, I started having seizures for no reason,just started having them. My hands would suddenly become numb, and I would get this weird burnt toast taste in my mouth and then pass out. My parents were very worried,they thought, epilepsy? Took me to St Francis hospital in Peoria, Illinois where the Dr's ran a bunch of tests.They could not find a cause, but did note that there was 'Unusual electrical activity detected' during my EEG. The Dr. said my Alpha waves were elevated or something.I was sleeping during this test, and had electrodes stuck to my head. The Dr prescribed me Phenobarbitol to prevent the seizures, but all it did was make me sleep 18 hrs a day. I was so scared something bad was wrong with me but It stopped happening when I got about 18. After moving in with my boyfriend at 19, and becoming pregnant, weird electrical stuff started happening around me. It was a stressful time, and when I'd be feeling particularly sad,mad, or stressed out,and touch a light switch,POP! It was a weird, surging feeling coming from the pit of my stomach, and then there'd be the zap.After I had my daughter, it eased up. Soon,I was a 25 yr old with 3 kids, a daughter and two sons. When my youngest son was 3 months old, their Dad took off on us and left me to raise three kids by myself.I was visiting my parents with my kids on the weekend, and when I came back home, all my things were gone(sold) including my baby's crib and dresser. It's pretty low when you sell your new baby's crib and dresser to get money to take off on your children and wife. The electrical thing started back up. I was zapping lights,radios,the tv,you name it. I think it was because I was very angry at being abandoned. Like an abundant amount of static electricity, but the zapping happened Summer Winter Spring Fall.This eased up after a couple of years(Thank God), but a new thing started happening. I started having dreams/nightmares and the next day or two, they would come true.I dreamt about 9/11 the night before it happened. Dreamt a'bird' flew into a building and the building caught fire. I was standing on the sidewalk and a paper floated down in front of me with charred edges, but it had the words CALL 9/11 written on it.The morning of 9/11 I got my kids off to school and went to lay down on the couch for a nice quiet nap since I didn't get much sleep the night before. Everytime I laid my head down on the pillow I heard screams. It was horrifying.They sounded far off,but many people screaming at the same time. It made me feel sick to my stomach so I got up,and the phone rang. It was my Mom,crying, and telling me to turn on the tv. I've had other unexplainable things like this happen, like a nightmare that a dear friend of mine from work got t-boned by a big suv and lost her life. It happened the next day. I had begged her the night before not to take her son in law to work that next day,I had an awful nightmare about an accident.She said "Oh it'll be ok Tam, don't worry I'll be careful". I never saw her alive again. That broke my heart,as she was one of the nicest ladies I worked with and we were friends. I believe that there are such a thing as psychic powers, esp,psychokinesis etc. but I don't think you can just snap your fingers or turn it on like a light switch. I dont think of it as a gift (at least for me it isnt) and I do not use it for monetary gain.This Praagh guy does seem to be very sketch to me.

ReadingsPsychics have the right to be paid. Readings require time and energy. Blessed are those who believe without evidence.

I hope that girl sued the CRAP outta that doctor who ignored her information, and same with the psychic who got arrested & left to rot in jail just because those jerk policemen refuse to believe her psychic abilities were real. Arrogant people who have to know it all are the worst.

"Van Praagh couldnt have seen my ring, because I kept it hidden in my dress" Um, Michael Shermer saw it, so obviously Van Praagh could have as well.

Praagh is an evil dude preying on others pain for profit, he is a modern day confidence man,

We’re there pictures at the memorial service? Yes! Yes! Just like at 95% of all services 😯

William Roll! He was a fixture on UM.

"I had an aunt Dorothy" (who the heck doesn't? I had 3 aunts named Dorothy) "Did she pass over?" (when you're the guy talking to dead people, don't you know?)

James is such a fraud. The psychic episodes are the weakest. The haunting ones are at least interesting and spooky

30:15 - a photo collage and a big picture at a funeral. Who woulda thunk it!!

As a scientist every idea no matter how silly is not to be ignored ?

how do explain several precognitions over the years with ONE awake premonition of something that is going to and does happen to someone you never met and only I been in their presence twice that you know of? It's one thing to explain connection to a loved one, but when someone you just knew of and seen but ever knew on personal level. Was up to the month before the sad event occurred that this precognitions occurred. The premonition occurred 12 years before the person was taking from this world

Maybe she knew the two guys. Didn't these cross the detectives minds?

Is there a Doty or Dorothy or......any other common name 🙄 yes SHE died ....but Praagh said a son. Gotta feel sorry for those parents . Who’s Freddy .....🤥 definitely cold reading and not even good at it really 🙄

In the first story, I am speechless about that doctor who never did an X-ray of the brain to find out if the headaches that this young lady was experiencing were because of something more than just a simple “headache!” Wow! Unbelievable. Too bad that she died. Scientists as well as law enforcement officials, or anyone else’s for that matter has to get pass the “physical aspects” of everything that happens in life and start looking “beyond the physical” to understand that “things” happens in this life and there are situations that can’t be explained and which are not necessarily from this “material world.” And in the case of Jeanine half sisters, it was COMMON SENSE from this “doctor” to have performed an X-ray of her brain to make sure there was not a serious problem going on. I wouldn’t go to a doctor like that, no way! Also, the arrogance of the doctor to asked her “who knows better? You or a doctor? Are you a doctor?” That by itself was appalling. Doctors, all of them, suffer from “God’s Complex,” they think they are God in person when they are not and can make mistakes! I have had my share of arguments with doctors when they think they know what is going on inside my body, when I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS MY BODY, and not them. It is MY BODY, and I will be damned if I am going to allow any doctor to treat me like a second class citizen or worse, disrespect me treating me like a dumb person. Hell NO. I am very vocal and get very vocal to let them know what I want and if I agreed or disagree with them; and I will walk out of any doctor’s office as fast as the speed of light IF I know I am not treated with respect. This “doctor” should have been at least FINED for negligence for not following through! Or stripped from his medical license in my opinion, and I would have sued the hell out of him! Jeanine’s half sister should have walked out of that hospital and go somewhere else! Very tragic and sad.

My childhood best friend told doctors she had a brain tumor for 10 yrs and was dismissed every single time. It wasn’t until she had failed to start her period by age 22 that one doctor ordered an MRI - she had a tumor the size of an orange. From my own experience, it never pays to be a backseat driver with a doctor - tell them your symptoms and family history without histrionics.

I WOULD TAKE THIS TO COURT.dont let them get away with this

This is actually episode 15

Any doctor that ignores someone needs fired immediately💯

I loved this episode. I have wonderful memories of watching this with my Mom who has since crossed over. Not all psychics are frauds. People who are truly gifted with this ability tell you what they see, the sitter the person who is going for hte reading will confirm or deny the information given from spirit. A real psychic won't ask open ended questions. I'm still astonished by Etta Smith's story. Just amazing, I'm so happy they caught who killed Melanie. Jeanine's story with the microwave reminded me of a similar incident that happened to me. I was upset and put a cup of milk in the micro to warm up. It died, no one could figure out why. It's not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. I just love these psychic episodes. Dolores

Truth, it’s appointed once for man to die. Psychic either lie or talk to demons or unclean spirits, never a person.

All the things exploding and flying around in the first story 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wish we could hear Robert Stacks thoughts about psychics.

These people crack me up. I would walk in and sit down and say okay. Tell me about it and if they ask and say did you have a loved one pass over? I would say yeah who hasnt? Why don't you tell me about somebody? Did your dad pass away? You tell me you're the psychic...

After hours of telling the same story over and over to the police, psychic Etta Smith finally figures out she's a suspect.

The mustache dude said stuff that anyone could've guessed, like that there were a bunch of pictures of the son doing different things at his funeral (like at every funeral) and that after BEING TOLD that he died in an mountain climbing accident saying that there was a picture of him at the base of the mountain (duh).

Jeanine was given a very special gift 🎁. She just needs instructions on how to use it properly. Blessed Be 🙌

Wasn't that couples son on a previous unsolved mysteries episode?

The first story from this episode is created by Wal-Mart so there not on the hook for broken merchandise.

I like how not even one instance of telekinesis has ever been filmed

32:00 Van prog: I can talk to the dead. Dead records office: "Hold my beer.."

What parent let's their baby be in the reenactment fir unsolved mysteries where the microwave explodes? It was close enough that it scared that baby.

I quit watching television in 1968 but over the years if I happened to be going by the family TV and saw it on, I'd stop and watch. Amazing how they solved crimes. My mother's friend in Florida she helped the F B I with her psychic abilities and was so good at it they came to her many times. She told me she just uses what we all have within us that most never find. All I could do since fifth grade (1965) was without moving a muscle I can cause in my spinal cord and out the major nerve branches of my arms and legs an electrical feeling kind of pain that I can vary to a quite painful level. Several years ago I saw a documentary on YT about psychic abilities and emailed the Institute of Noetic Sciences in California about it. The person who received my email just said to see a counselor ha! Does anyone know what that phenomenon is?

I knew James Van Praagh before he started the fake medium bullshit. He is a fabulous cold reader and nothing else.

I wonder how many thousands of dollars he swindled from these grieving families. He's nothing more than a con artist

Oh Etta! You are lucky they got caught! If not you would still be locked up
