Sightings Online
Report by: Debra Pickman
Steve Kroopnick, the Co-executive Producer of Sightings and Peter James initiated a live online forum during the evening of November 11th 1994 during the investigation. Here Sightings viewers could feel apart of the investigation a as much as possible experience things first hand. Viewers asked questions and made comments that the investigative team responded to.
The next night there again was a live forum made available from the house. This time Steve was joined by Kerry Gaynor, the parapsychologist, Craig Armstrong, field producer.d by his guests,
Tony and I had friends who lived next door to the Sallie house, and in visiting them we realized the investigative team was still at the house. At Tony’s suggestion, we decided to drop in to see how things were going.
After we entered the house, and greeted excitedly, we were asked to join the hour long online forum, that was already in progress. Moments after sitting down a small scratch appeared between his eyebrows and then a lengthy one showed up on his abdomen after feeling a coldness . Then a few minutes later, a vicious looking scratch about 5 inches long appeared on the left side of his face. This all happened in a matter of 20-25 minutes. When asked to explain what he felt, he reported the coldness across the whole left side of his face. Kerry inspected the scratch and asked him questions in hope of understanding the occurrence better.
During this time, Steve told the forum members what was taking place as the group sat around the table. At one point when he reported that Tony has been scratched, a member asked how do we know this isn’t faked. This was hard for Steve to answer, and he turned to Kerry, who noted that the attack happened in front of numerous witnesses’ standing in the same room.
We visited for a short time after the online forum ended and surprisingly, Tony agreed to an interview without the anonymity factor that had hidden his face in the past. Because this had been unexpected and unplanned for, the team asked us to wait so as they could get the other scheduled interviews out of the way.
We agreed to leave the house, have dinner and return a short time later. Tony was holding the baby at this point and as he spoke those words and we turned towards the door to leave, Tony was attacked more severely than he had been up to this point.
This time the attack was painful, as Tony let out an agonizing moan from the pain, his knees buckled and he almost fell to his knees.
