On this exciting episode of our Secret Door show, George Noory tried identifying four separate guests who initially disguised their voices and provided clues. George was able to pick out the first guest as psychic medium James Van Praagh, who share that his abilities began in early childhood when he witnessed his deceased grandfather visiting his crib. He described his most profound readings, including an encounter with a three-year-old spirit girl who appeared during a live stage event. The child conveyed details about her father's hidden angel wing tattoo, moving the entire audience to tears. Central to Van Praagh's work is his philosophy on the afterlife. He stated that "words have energy, thoughts have energy," and that individuals create their own heaven or hell through their actions and beliefs on Earth.
George failed to guess the second guest, who ended up being author and lecturer Mike Bara. Bara discussed the recent government release of UFO reports that he claimed vindicates decades of his lunar research. He's investigated anomalies on the moon's surface since the mid-1990s, documenting unexplained bright objects and lights in lunar photography. Bara said the government's admission that "there absolutely should not be anything in the sky over the lunar surface... it should be pitch black in the lunar photography" is validation of his work. He also emphasized that "the days of the debunkers acting like they can explain everything are just about over," and noted that major cases remain unreleased, including Roswell, the Phoenix Lights, and Cape Girardeau. "We're not in Kansas anymore, George, we're moving on," Bara stated.
Despite George encountering a disguised voice that he called "the best he's heard, ever," he successfully unmasked Glynis McCants (ph. 877-686-2373) as the third guest. "I do that voice when I want to mess with people like my sister, and she never knows it's me," McCants admitted. She discussed her recent work analyzing vowels in first names to reveal personality traits. McCants explained how each vowel corresponds to a number, with the vowel offering insight into character. "Every one of us can learn someone's first name, and it's the vowel in the first name that tells us stuff about them," she said. She also warned listeners to remain cautious through May, citing specific dates—May 14, 17, 23, and 26—as potentially volatile.
George managed to narrow down the fourth and final guest to Alaska native Nick Begich, setting George's score to 3 out of 4 this Secret Door. Begich recounted his family history marked by tragedy and unanswered questions. His father, a congressman, disappeared in 1972 during a plane flight over Alaska alongside House Majority Leader Hale Boggs. Begich noted that decades later, FBI documents revealed military personnel had located the aircraft and reported two survivors at the crash site—information that remained concealed for 20 years. He also commented on artificial intelligence, expressing caution about its trajectory. "I do on a certain level, absolutely" believe it's moving too fast, he stated. After receiving instruction on AI systems, he said he acknowledged their practical utility while remaining uncertain of their future direction.
