Season 4 Episode Guide
13 Episodes 2006 - 2007
Episode 40
Old Father Christmas
24 mins
Victorian images of a jolly plump old imp, who brings children presents at Christmas, is a product of fiction, Coca-Cola marketing and religious adaptation. However, the factual pagan sources upon which the character was based is far more sinister and disturbing than many are aware.
Episode 41
The Holy Grail
24 mins
The Grail has influenced our society in three ways and on three different levels. These impressions of the grail are examined and the ways in which modern society is impacted by both the legendary and not so legendary symbol are brought forth.
Episode 42
The Da Vinci Code
24 mins
The code is exposed, but what inspired the people who created the hoax that captured the minds of millions remains a compelling and provocative mystery. A mystery, which when cross referred with other episodes in this season, points to more than just a religious conspiracy.
Episode 43
The Masons
24 mins
A brave new land is forged by a group of Masons. A new democracy, which within 200 years comes to rule the world through economic means, is symbolized by twin pillars. The Beyond team interviews a Grand Mason in his temple in one of the most candid interviews ever given by a Mason on camera.
Episode 44
Vampires
25 mins
Beyond examines the earliest accounts of the Vampire phenomenon and how they are interwoven with other supernatural predators. The product is a look that goes deeper than the popular aspects of the myth explored by Bram Stoker or modern Goth culture.
Episode 45
Elementals
24 mins
Wraiths, sprites, fairies, leprechauns, trolls, etc., the modern view of most elementals is largely harmless and quaint but the reality of these strange creatures could be far more sinister and disturbing than one might think.
Episode 46
Triangles
25 mins
An examination of natural phenomena that are likely explanations for the strangely perplexing events that have been observed and recorded in the triangle regions since 1492.
Episode 47
Reincarnation
24 mins
Although reincarnation can be examined in its simplest form as rebirth after death, there are several forms of reincarnation that about one third of the world's population believes in. We examine both the religious and philosophical aspects of reincarnation as well as conduct interviews with different practitioners ranging from a theology professor who has glimpsed an unusual model of reincarnation to a para-psychology professor who has experience with Indian Reincarnation, a Buddhist, channelers, a Mason and an hypnotist involved in past life regressions. The common ground offers a fresh perspective on one of the oldest belief systems in the world for life after death.
Episode 48
Monsters
24 mins
A disturbing look at first hand, eye witness experiences of monsters and what follows in the wake of their appearances.
Episode 49
The Spear of Destiny
25 mins
An introductory history of the Spear of Destiny is coupled with some enlightening post war information on the artifact that inspired Steven Spielberg's film "The Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Episode 50
Death
24 mins
Definition of clinical death is not precise. The Beyond research team discovered seven forms of life that survive clinical death within the body. With such concrete evidence, which blurs the border between life and death, it is hard to accept our current medical definitions, which are almost 200 years out of date. What follows is definitions of death as perceived by academics, scientists, theologians, regligionists, philosophers and paranormal practitioners. The overall outcome is somewhat liberating.
Episode 51
The Final Myth
24 mins
The function of Death exposed from an observational and even scientific perspective. Experts, eye witnesses and practitioners were all asked the same question in this episode. "What is death?" Their answers seemed to indicate for us that one of our fundamental beliefs is merely the final myth.
Episode 52
Conclusions IV
34 mins
Experts, actors and crew who have worked on the series discuss some of the remarkable events and discoveries made during the shooting of the season.
