"But instead, you saw her going the opposite direction empty handed."
"Right."
"I see. What else did you notice was odd or peculiar about your cousin Diane's behavior that night?"
"When I first called out to her across the upstairs hallway and she stopped, but didn't turn around towards me right away."
"When she stopped but didn't turn around towards you right away?"
"Yeah."
"Do you know why she didn't turn around towards you right away when you first called out to her?"
"No. Not until I called out to her the third time and walked towards her, that's when she turned around towards me and I saw her face. Then I knew that's the reason why she didn't turn around towards me right away because she probably didn't want me to see or notice that her face was different."
"She probably didn't want you to see or notice that her face was different, because maybe she wanted to protect YOU from seeing or noticing that her face was different."
"Protect me?"
"Yes protect you. You said you were shocked, startled and scared when you saw her face. That's probably why she didn't turn around towards you right away. She knew her face was different and she knew you would notice it. She knew. So she probably decided to finally turn around towards you when you called out to her the third time, because she knew, that if she didn't turn around towards you the third time you called out to her, you would have most likely gotten suspicious and start to wonder why she's not turning around towards you, right?"
"Right."
"That's probably why she decided to turn around towards you to keep you from getting suspicious, even though she knows that you would see her face. What else did you notice was odd or peculiar about your cousin Diane's behavior that night?"
"When she started referring to herself in the third person."
"When she started referring to herself in the third person?"
"Yeah, by saying things like 'Diane's not here right now' when I'm looking right at her. Then saying that 'she's not Diane'. Then saying things like 'Diane is okay' that 'Diane is wandering the universe' and saying that 'Diane will be back'. It was very creepy."
"It sounds creepy, I can imagine. How did the other personality speak to you? Did the other personality speak to you very aggressive?"
"No not really."
"It didn't?"
"No."
"So how do you think it spoke to you?"
"It spoke to me very firm, like in a very firm serious voice."
"A very firm serious voice?"
"Yeah, like it wasn't joking or kidding around, because after a while, I could see it in Diane's eyes that she or this other personality wasn't joking."
"You could see it in her eyes?"
"Yeah."
"Wow. How do you think this other personality's voice sound to you. Did it sound like Diane's normal voice, or did the voice sound different from Diane's normal voice?"
"It sounded the same as Diane's normal voice, deep."
"It did?"
"Yeah. The only difference was the way it spoke."
"The way it spoke?"
"Yeah almost like a firm pattern to it."
"A firm pattern?"
"Yeah."
"I see." Dr. Stone then looks at Charlotte and says, "Now Charlotte, you didn't see or witness any of this conversation between your two cousins Diane and Nancy outside the upstairs bedrooms, did you?"
"No I didn't see or witness what was going on at all," Charlotte says. "I only heard Diane and Nancy talking out in the upstairs hallway outside the bedrooms."
"You only heard them talking?"
"Yeah."
"Do you remember what you heard?"
"I remember hearing their voices talking, but I couldn't hear the exact words they were saying to each other."
"You couldn't hear the exact words at all?"
"No because I never left the room."
"I see. What did you think, when you heard Nancy's and Diane's voices talking with each other out in the hallway? Did their tone of conversation sound normal to you?"
"Yes it did. It sounded like they were just having a normal conversation. It sounded like Nancy was just trying to find out what happened to Diane, wanting to know why it took Diane so long to come back upstairs, so I didn't think anything of it. I didn't hear or notice anything out of the ordinary, so I just remained inside the other room, until I heard Nancy hollering and screaming banging on everyone else's bedroom door, that's when I ran out there in the hallway to find out what happened. When Nancy told the rest of my family what Diane said to her, that's when we all ran to Diane's bedroom door, but it was locked. That's when my grandfather ran off to get the Master key. Then he came back and unlocked Diane's bedroom door then we all bursted in there and saw her lying face down on her bed sleeping."
"She was sleeping?"
"Yeah. My family went and grabbed her to wake her up. That's when she told my family what happened that she fell out downstairs. Then Nancy told Diane and the rest of my family what Diane said to her in the hallway and we all realized that Diane has no recollection of coming back up the stairs and that she has no recollection of running into Nancy in the hallway and she has no recollection of what she said to Nancy out in the hallway. That's when I realized what had happened out in the hallway."
"Wow. So you never really encountered Diane's other personality like Nancy did. You only heard the other personality's voice out in the hallway which you assumed, was Diane's voice, right."
"Right."
"I see." Dr. Stone then looks back at Nancy and says, "So Nancy, when your family went into Diane's room and woke her up, was her odd appearance still the same as when you saw her out in the hallway and spoke to her? I mean did her face still look pale and did her eyes still appear swollen?"
"No they didn't?" Nancy says.
"They didn't?"
"No. By the time my family went to wake her up and I saw her face again, the paleness in her face and the swellness in her eyes were gone. They seemed to completely disappear."
"They did?"
"Yeah."
"So the rest of your family never saw Diane's face appearing pale nor her eyes appearing swollen. You were the only one in the house that night who saw and witnessed Diane's face appearing pale and her eyes appearing swollen, right?"
"Yes."
"And Charlotte never saw Diane's face looking pale nor her eyes appearing swollen because she never left the room, but would have seen it and encountered Diane's other personality as well, if she had left the room also, right?"
"Right."
"I see. Okay. So what we're going to do today, is try and see if we can hypnotize Diane again like we did years ago to bring out this other personality and talk to it."
"What!" the family shouts.
"Hypnotize Diane again to bring out this other personality and talk to it?" Tomas asks.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says.
"Doctor Stone, you tried to bring that other personality out of Diane when you hypnotized her before," Margarita says. "It didn't work!"
"That doesn't mean we shouldn't try it again. What might not work the first time might work the second or third time. I want to try to see if I can find out why the other personality entered Diane's body that night and find out what its intentions were."
"That personality already told Nancy, that whenever Diane meditates, they would come into Diane's physical body and enter it."
"I still want to talk to it and find out, if it's the same vicious personality that beat up that kid Marcus inside the school hallway that night and attacked all the other people in the past like the police officers and security guards."
"But would it be safe to bring that other personality out of Diane Doctor Stone?" Marilyn asks.
"I don't know, but we still have to try. What Dr. Kahn and I want to do is record the hypnotizing process, if you all don't mind."
"Record it?" Barry asks.
"Yes."
"Why?" Mary asks.
"So Diane can look back at the video and see the hypnotizing process for herself. She's not going to see, hear or be aware of what's going on, so she needs to look back at the video and see her behavior on it herself. Once the hypnotizing process is finished, the video is yours to keep. You will own the rights to the video as Diane's family."
"Okay Doctor Stone. You can record the hypnotizing process for Diane to see when the video is played back for her."
"Okay. You can all see Diane one more time before we put her under hypnosis."
"Okay Doctor Stone."
"You're welcome. Come this way." Dr. Stone gets up from his chair as Diane D's family get up from their seats. Dr. Stone turns and heads towards the doorway as Diane D's family turn and follow him.
Chapter 12
Dr. Stone And Dr. Kahn Put Diane D Under Hypnosis
Fifteen minutes later, Diane D is laying up on a dark brown leather psychiatrist couch that has metal bars beneath the sides inside a large room as her family, Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn surround her. Dr. Stone then turns to Diane D's family and says, “You all can wait outside now.”
“Okay,” Margarita says. Margarita turns to Diane D and says, “Diane, vamos a estar e el pasillo.”
“Okay Grandma,” Diane D says.
“We’ll be right back baby,” Barry says.
“Okay Dad."
“Nos vemos luego,” Mary says.
Diane D waves her hand to her family as her family take one last look at her. Diane D’s family then turn and walk towards the doorway.
Forty-five minutes later, Diane D's family is sitting out in the hallway. Dr. Stone's Indian female nurse approaches them and says to them, “Doctor Stone now has Diane under hypnosis.”
“He does?” Tomas asks.
“Yes. He said not every family member can come inside the room. He said only up to ten family members can come in."
"Only ten family members?" Margarita asks.
"Yes, the ten family members who were actually inside the house the night Diane's other personality came out. He especially wants the two cousins who heard and witnessed Diane's other personality to be inside the room."
"The two cousins?" Barry asks. "You mean Nancy and Charlotte."
"Yes, those two."
"Okay." Barry turns towards Nancy and Charlotte and says. "Okay girls, let's go." Nancy, Charlotte, Barry, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Michael stand up from their seats as Gracy, Grandpa Mike, Mickey, Aunt Celeste and Aunt Laura remain in their seats.
Gracy turns to Margarita and Tomas and says, "We'll wait right here Margarita and Tomas."
"Thanks Gracy and Mike," Margarita and Tomas says. The nurse turns away and leads Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte down the hallway.
As the nurse leads Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte down the hallway, she turns to them all and says, "You all can come into the room now to watch and listen. Dr. Stone said for me to quietly bring you into the room again, because he doesn’t want Diane to know that you all are inside the room. He wants to make sure that Diane is not influenced into saying just anything out of the ordinary, if she knows that her family is inside the room watching and listening. So when I bring you all inside the room, please come in as quiet as possible. We can’t let Diane know that you all are inside the room. And before we go inside the room, all cell phones must be turned off. There cannot be any disturbances during the hypnosis process.”
“No problem nurse,” Margarita says.
“Okay. Follow me.” The nurse turns around and walks down the hallway as Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte turn off all their cell phones and continue to follow her.
The nurse reaches outside the room door and stops as Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte come behind her and stop. The nurse turns to them and whispers, “I’m going to quietly bring you guys back inside the room. When we go inside, this time, I‘m going to quietly bring you all to the middle of the room.”
“The middle of the room?” Margarita whispers.
"Yes. Dr. Stone wants you all closer to Diane this time."
"Oh yeah?" Tomas aks. "Why?"
"To make sure you all are able to hear the hypnosis process. Plus there will be a microphone pointing at Diane and the doctors so the sound can come out of the speakers so you all can hear the hypnosis better."
"Okay."
"Now remember everybody, all cell phones off." The nurse turns around and quietly opens the room door. She then heads into the room as Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte follow her.
The nurse quietly brings Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte back into the large room. Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte quickly turn their heads towards the front of the room. They see Diane D in the front of the room this time lying flat on her back on the psychiatrist couch under hypnosis with her head back and eyes closed with her face pointing high up towards the ceiling. There is a microphone pointing towards her face. There are two video cameras on tripods with the video cameras pointing towards her. There is a thick white sheet laid beneath her back and buttocks making her back and buttocks raised higher off the couch. There are pillows laid beneath her knees making her knees raised higher off the couch. There is a small blanket laid out on top of her waist and hips as her arms and hands rest on top of her abdomin.
Diane D's family then turn their heads back forward and follow the nurse as the nurse quietly leads them towards the middle and side of the room where it is dimly lit and several chairs and speakers are.
Five minutes later, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte are quietly sitting in the middle of the room anxiously watching the front of the office at Diane D.
Dr. Stone sits in a chair next to the couch on the right side of Diane D's head as he is slightly leaned towards Diane D with a clipboard and pen in his hands. Dr. Kahn sits in a chair next to the couch on the opposite side of Diane D's head as he is slightly leaned towards Diane D with a clipboard and pen in his hands. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn have been talking to Diane D's subconscious for a few minutes taking notes. Dr. Stone continues to speak to Diane D's subconscious as he looks down at her and asks, “Is there a soul, spirit or personality there inside this physical body?” Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn stare at Diane D. Diane D does not respond. Her physical body continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to sit quietly in the middle of the room puzzled looking at Diane D.
Dr. Stone continues to look at Diane D and says, “Is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If there is a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now, we need you to come out and talk to us. We need to talk to Diane's original soul, spirit and personality first. Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now? Reveal yourself. Come out and speak to us. Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now?” Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn continue to stare at Diane D. Diane D's physical body continues to lay on the couch not responding as her eyes remain closed.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to puzzled look at Diane D.
Dr. Stone then says, “If Diane's original soul, spirit or personality is inside this physical body now, please reveal yourself to us and talk to us.” Suddenly, Diane D starts to breathe hard. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn anxiously look at Diane D as her chest starts to rise and eyeballs seem to roll towards the top of her head underneath her closed eyelids.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte anxiously look at Diane D.
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn anxiously look at each other, then back at Diane D. Diane D continues to breathe hard as her eyes remain closed. Suddenly her breathing slows down, her chest lowers back down. Dr. Stone then asks, “Was that a soul, spirit or personality trying to come out? Is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If there is a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now, respond yes by waving your fingers three times when I ask again. Now is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now?" Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. Suddenly her fingers wave once, twice, then three times.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte become excited and nervous as Nicolas turns to them and whispers, "Did y'all see that? She waved her fingers three times!" Nicolas, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to anxiously look at Diane D.
Dr. Stone continues to speak to Diane D's subconscious as he looks down at her and says, “Okay good. Now is this Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now? Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If Diane's original soul, spirit or personality is the one inside this physical body now, respond 'Yes' by waving your fingers three times when I ask. If Diane's original soul, spirit or personality is NOT the one inside this physical body now, respond 'No' by waving your fingers twice. Now is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? 'Yes' or 'no'?" Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. Suddenly her fingers wave once, twice, then three times.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte become anxious and nervous again as Barry turns to them and whispers, "It's her!" Barry, Nicolas, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Tonio, Marilyn, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to sit quietly in the middle of the room anxiously looking at Diane D.
Dr. Stone continues to look at Diane and says, “This IS Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there?" Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. Her fingers wave once, twice, then three times again. "Okay good," Dr. Stone says. “So Diane, we need to talk to you. We need to find out what happened the night you and your two cousins Nancy and Charlotte were up around two o'clock in the morning chit-chatting inside one of the bedrooms inside your family's home, then you went downstairs to make Martini at the bar and bring the Martini, Vodka and Bacardi back upstairs to the room where your cousins Nancy and Charlotte were waiting for you. Are you able to talk about it now? Do you want to talk about it now? If you are able to talk about it now or willing to talk about it now, respond by saying 'yes' when I ask again. If you are NOT able to talk about it now or NOT willing to talk about it, respond by saying 'no' or wave your fingers twice when I ask again. Now are you able to talk about it now or are you willing to talk about it now? 'Yes' or 'no'?"
Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. She suddenly says, "Yes."
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte become anxious and nervous again as Marilyn turns to them and whispers, "She spoke! She said 'yes'!" Marilyn, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to sit quietly in the middle of the room anxiously looking at Diane D.
Dr. Stone then says, “So you're willing to talk about it now?"
"Yes," Diane D says as her eyes remain closed.
"Good."
Dr. Kahn then says, "Okay Diane, this is Dr. Kahn speaking now, okay? What I'm gonna do right now is talk to you and I need you to answer some questions, alright? What I need for you to do right now is, state your name?"
"State my name?" Diane D asks.
"Yes. I need to hear you say who you are, okay? So who are you or what is your name?"
"Diane."
"You're Diane?"
"Yes."
"Good. Now Diane do you speak or understand a specific language?"
"Yes."
"Okay. And what specific language is that? What specific language can you speak and understand?"
"English."
"You can speak and understand English."
"Yes."
"Okay, good. Can you speak and understand any other language? What other language can you speak and understand besides English?"
"Spanish."
"You can speak and understand Spanish?"
"Yes."
"Okay, good. Can you speak and understand any other languages besides English and Spanish? What
