Barb has the perfect life, or so she's told. Somewhere down the road, she's gained a husband, kids and a career, but lost the freedom and passion she holds so dear. In an attempt to recapture the innocence of her carefree days, Barb calls her high school pals Patti, Karen and Liz together for a one night reunion, after 25 years apart. Loosening-up with a few bottles of wine, they allow themselves to speak freely. Through some honest soul-searching, sharing their secrets and their dreams, the women discover that they now share much more.

The Nightmare

                                     

Synopsis:  

Five percent of the world’s population have had the experience of awaking paralyzed while a supernatural entity climbs onto their chest suffocating them, inducing a level of fear that is beyond imagination.  These attacks have been known to erupt in epidemics, resulting in mass panic, post-traumatic stress disorder, and sudden unexplainable death.  Even the baffled scientific community is divided between psychological and metaphysical explanations.

¡In Roman times the entity was called The Succubus.  In Russia it was known as The Vampyr.  In Newfoundland it is called The Hag.  The Vikings simply called it Night Mara, meaning “The crusher that comes in the night”.  Its face and name may change but it has always been with us… lurking in the shadows, waiting for us to fall asleep.

Haunted by his own encounter with The Nightmare, documentary filmmaker Adam Gray sets out on a journey to understand this terrifying phenomenon.  From the foggy shores of Newfoundland to the steaming jungles of Zanzibar we will see where the Nightmare has left its mark.  Hear from those who have survived the experience, and the families of those that did not.  Meet the scientists, psychologists, and folklorists on the front lines of the battle for understanding how something without material form can traumatize and even kill those that encounter it.

The Nightmare is a fascinating exploration of a phenomenon that suggests that the only difference between hallucination and the supernatural… is belief.

In 1961 Barney and Betty Hill were driving at night through the White Mountains of New Hampshire when they noticed that a bright light in the sky was following them. The light came closer and closer until it blocked the road in front of them. Barney stopped the car, retrieved his pistol and his binoculars from the glove box and got out. The next thing the couple remembered was driving away at top speed, filled with intense fear. When they arrived home they became aware that the “four-hour trip” had inexplicably taken them six hours. Gradually they realized that something had happened during those two hours of missing time. 

Forty-seven years after the world’s first and most famous abduction case, the Hills’ niece Kathleen Marden continues their investigation into the unknown. With startling physical evidence, hypnosis tapes, and a mysterious interstellar map, Kathleen retraces the journey her aunt and uncle took that night in an attempt to decipher if the Hills were in fact abducted by aliens.

Synopsis:

During the Cold War, while the US and Soviets publicly competed in the space and arms race, a secret parallel race between the two military superpowers was undertaken to harness psychic power.  With some of the greatest scientific and psychic minds in the country the US government developed a technique to utilize ESP as tool for espionage.  They called their system “Remote Viewing”. 

 At the end of the Cold War the program moved into the private sector and the psychic spies became mercenaries, businessmen, and teachers of the system.  Many believe that remote viewing holds the key to the next step in human evolution.  Jeff Warren, a science writer and adventurer of unusual consciousness experiences, sets out on an investigation of the remote viewing technique.  He will see the top remote viewers in action, try to learn the skill himself.
