I think you can transmigrate into the being of an animal. In his great books, Carlos Castenada quotes Don Juan as saying he could be any animal he wanted to be. Back in the 60s when I was a teenager, I watched intently as an eagle flew in the sky above the desert. I watched the eagle for maybe 10 minutes before I started willing myself to see through the eagle's eyes. I kept picturing in my head what the eagle was seeing and soon enough I was behind the eagle's eyes. The eyes were so good that I could see minute particles on the ground surrounded by cactus. I don't know how long I stayed in that state but I remember the feeling of weightlessness and flying. That was an intense experience. I've tried to do it with other animals but that was the most successful I ever was.

[@billymule961]

The ability to transition from human to animal is called lycanthropy.

Reading your comment and of your experience, (thankyou for sharing) reminds me of the fascination of the stories of indigenous Indians, Nth and Sth American continents, and the Mongolian Sharmans who can meditate themselves into this condition and experience.

Because of lack of technology the movies were more real in general, aside from, say, the cheap tricks while driving cars :-)....people were more real, locations were (mostly) real, life portrayed was more real ....to paraphrase a well known quote - people making movies then were doing so because they had SOMETHING to say, not like now - just making movies to say something (and possibly make money in the process).

@@janicejimerson2096 Good question. I don't know. But clearly, Ted WANTED to become a leopard even though he seemed to have a pretty good life with a steady job in San Jose and a wife and two friends who cared for him. He was willing to leave all that behind for no apparent reason other than as a leopard, he wasn't afraid of anyone; everyone was afraid of him. It didn't occur to him that a man with a gun could end all that -- all the more likely if the man with the gun was AFRAID of him. If your opponent is armed and you are not, then you're only worse off if that opponent is actually afraid of you. Today, the mysteriously-appearing leopard probably wouldn't be killed; he would probably be tranquilized, shipped back to the Orient, and released into the wild. Still, perhaps more familiarity with the writings of Confucius would have enabled Ted to avoid or resist the spell of that game.

Script writers - without them there would be no drama (film, plays etc.). A large part of the attration for me is gaining the "feel"/knowledge of the peronality of the script-writer(s) that contribute to the success of the screen-play. We don't need a set of chinese wooden sticks to effect a change in ourselves. Maybe using the knowledge and truths of Confusius (or Christ) would help but without applying personal effort, there would be no overcoming the "internal beast". One is constantly playing with fire. "Tiger, tiger burnig bright, in the forests........." There is so much more poetic content in these older scripts. ...A sign of the times?

Thank you for not shooting cute baby bear. They had no animal rights laws in movies back then. Are dobies hunting dogs?

[@USAMehdi]

Thanks. This is a very creepy and weird story. I wished ppl wouldn't shoot animals tho. In this case a man!... sad.

Loved this show as a kid, because it was ALL TRUE! Oooooh. Based on "documented facts". Of course they never explained WHO documented these "facts" or how many of the "facts" made it into the show and how much was creative dramatization And they always gave the skeptical viewers an "out". The person making the report was drunk at the time, or fevered or recovering from a mental breakdown, or was even less reliable because the subject was a child or a woman. Nevertheless, the stories chilled me as a child and I consider them overacting at its best as I view them now as an adult. All the actors are gone now but I wish I could thank them all. R.I.P. (edited only to correct my poor spelling)

[@msatxgault560]

I think someone named Urban documented the facts

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

This one sounds like an amalgam of tales, but it's reminding me of the Frank Olsen/CIA LSD experiment from the 50s.

What's the name of that Chinese game? Looks like it got him locked in hypnosis, creepy.

[@johnnypastrana6727]

In real life, Ted got drunk and went into a drunken rage and his two pals accidentally killed him. They disposed of the body and it was never found but they made up this BS story in order to cover their tracks.

[@65if2007]

Seriously, If this episode is based on a true story, the truth probably is something along those lines. But that doesn't change the fact that, with a supernatural twist, the story is very entertaining, much more entertaining than a "real-life" explanation would be.

Wild bear wearing a collar..................

[@jamesdavidson4769]

Fact.

[@MartinSage]

During the intro Mr. Newland picks up a can of lighter fluid resting on the hearth of a fireplace. He reads the label with a smile “ don’t use near open flame”. Yes, why was the lighter fluid sitting where it was? Also, the office where the wife comes to meet the 2 friends of the missing man is full of Asian Art!!.

[@RSEFX]

What's your point re the "Asian art"? The fireplace/lighter fluid moment is meant to be ironic. It is also a metaphor for the fact the characters would be "playing with fire" by messing with that strange game (something maybe Confucious (sp?) might've been inclined to point out.
