of radio broadcasts known as the 64 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:18,800 fireside 65 00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:21,520 chats his aim was to reassure the common 66 00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:23,520 man that our

kind of fire 70 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,680 for a new era of worldly frustration we 71 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:33,920 offer a fresh conversation 72 00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:36,800 i'm greg carlwood and these are the 73 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,280 higher side chats 74 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:41,120 here we go higher side chatters how the 75 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,280 hell are you from sunny san diego i'm 76 00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:45,599 greg carlwood trying to bring relief to 77 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:47,120 a world on fire 78 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:50,720 one pail of podcasting water at a time 79 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,480 and while we've all heard the old quote 80 00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,400 that we cannot solve our problems with 81 00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,879 the same thinking we used to create them 82 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:58,879 i wish we were better at keeping it in 83 00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:01,440 mind so often we find ourselves 84 00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:02,720 re-treading the same 85 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,879 intellectual ground from medical science 86 00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:06,560 to political strategy 87 00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:08,400 and then one wonders why we have this 88 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:10,959 heavy sense of stuckness 89 00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:13,440 the same problems and patterns resurface 90 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,920 but we rarely seem to graduate from them 91 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,680 and often it's because we've yet to 92 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:19,680 truly go back to the fundamentals and 93 00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,159 approach 94 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:22,239 topics with fresh eyes and a new way of 95 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,280 thinking 96 00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,280 well it's as true for bigfoot as it is 97 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:27,840 for fiat currency and luckily our guests 98 00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:28,239 today 99 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:30,080 are excellent researchers of at least 100 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:31,680 one of those things 101 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:34,319 and for me it is time we evolve our 102 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,000 thinking on bigfoot no pun 103 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,560 intended and while some might wonder why 104 00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:40,560 a bigfoot show is the offering on the 105 00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:41,040 table 106 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,080 given everything 2020 has thrown at us 107 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:45,760 i would argue that most of us have dug 108 00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,159 in firmly on our opinions at this point 109 00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:50,640 so what more do we need to know and if 110 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:52,720 our mental attention is currency 111 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,040 let's not make the rich any richer 112 00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:57,120 besides our good friend and podcast 113 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,000 world ally 114 00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:00,480 joshua cutchen has a new book out and so

00:04:36,960 let's dive into it the proverbial 134 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,360 one-two punch of paranormal podcast 135 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:41,360 guests the cryptozoology course 136 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:44,080 correctors making bigfoot weird again 137 00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,360 josh and tim welcome to the higher side 138 00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,800 pleasure always a highlight whenever

love your 142 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:56,000 other books we've had some 143 00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:57,680 great conversations about them in 144 00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:00,080 previous shows and tim it

lot of these areas 148 00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,400 the cultural conversation tends to go in 149 00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,080 circles because with certain things 150 00:05:13,629 --> 00:05:12,479 like the paranormal side effects 151 00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:13,639 consciousness and of course 152 00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:15,120 cryptozoology 153 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:18,479 humans tend to try and twist the subject 154 00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:19,280 until it 155 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:21,759 halfway fits into their world view 156 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:22,400 rather than 157 00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:24,960 adapting their worldview and paradigm to 158 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:26,720 fit new information 159 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:29,520 and it seems like that was the major 160 00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:31,360 theme here kind of the catalyst for 161 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:32,560 writing this book 162 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:35,360 let's take the weirdest craziest bigfoot 163 00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:37,919 accounts and try to examine this mystery 164 00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,800 from that 165 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,400 wider perspective rather than 166 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:43,280 selectively editing down the cases until 167 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:45,600 they fit what we want bigfoot to be 168 00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:46,720 would you say that was kind of the 169 00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:49,280 inspiration here fellas 170 00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:52,639 pretty much yeah yeah it was taking a 171 00:05:56,469 --> 00:05:53,919 kind of a holistic look at the 172 00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:56,479 phenomenon and you know when i got into 173 00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:57,120 it 174 00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:00,880 people's minds bigfoot 175 00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:04,000 is some undiscovered animal and that's 176 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,600 the approach i took when i got into it 177 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:07,680 mostly i mean i was aware from the start 178 00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:08,880 that there was weird stuff 179 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:11,680 associated with bigfoot sightings ufos 180 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:12,400 and 181 00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:16,639 that tai was given 182 00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,639 by your sort of flesh and blood 183 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,319 cryptozoologist was that the 184 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,319 weird stuff with bigfoot it rarely ever 185 00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:24,240 happens it's really a rarity 186 00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:26,000 that this stuff happens and then when 187 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:27,280 you start to scratch 188 00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:29,600 at it a little bit you find very quickly 189 00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:30,319 that 190 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:32,160 it's not a rarity at all this weird 191 00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:34,000 stuff pops up around bigfoot 192 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:38,469 and josh what do you think what would 193 00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:40,479 you say is the elevator pitch or the 194 00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:42,160 mission statement you had going into 195 00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:43,440 this thing 196 00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,639 i actually was not at all looking 197 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:48,319 into writing another book when tim 198 00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,840 approached me about this but 199 00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:51,360 when he made the pitch i was like okay 200 00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,560 because i just had twins where i was 201 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:54,319 getting ready to have twins here 202 00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:55,759 and i just knew that i wouldn't have 203 00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:57,840 enough time so i cranked it out and i 204 00:07:00,790 --> 00:06:58,880 think 205 00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:00,800 i have a very dear friend named greg 206 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:02,560 bishop who hates for me to use this as a 207 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:03,919 point of comparison because 208 00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,720 of how great jacques valet is but i 209 00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:08,960 think sort of the best way to sort of 210 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:11,440 give people an idea of how this book 211 00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,160 sits 212 00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:14,400 vis-a-vis the big phenomena is to 213 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:16,160 compare it to jacques villa's passport 214 00:07:21,189 --> 00:07:18,319 to magonia and the sort of position 215 00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:21,199 that passport to magonia occupies in the 216 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:22,639 ufo discourse 217 00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:26,319 it's finally looking at folklore through 218 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,400 an unironic lens and saying well 219 00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:30,639 how does this resonate with a lot of 220 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,400 these modern day sightings so that's not 221 00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:34,240 really a comparison in terms of quality 222 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:36,160 to valet because i mean 223 00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,000 heaven knows he's such an eloquent 224 00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:39,680 writer and an excellent thinker but in 225 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:40,319 terms of 226 00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,520 the goal of this book has 227 00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,360 i think is really in sort of trying to 228 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:47,759 reframe some of these bigfoot phenomena 229 00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:50,800 in other disciplines that we 230 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,879 normally would not consider because you 231 00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:54,400 know so much of the community is really 232 00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:55,759 obsessed with the idea that bigfoot is a 233 00:07:59,589 --> 00:07:56,840 flesh and blood 234 00:08:02,230 --> 00:07:59,599 hominid yes 235 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,240 a worthy goal a passport to magonia 236 00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:04,479 moment for bigfoot as it were 237 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,960 definitely a worthy goal and i guess i 238 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,240 would ask you guys 239 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,639 what you think it is that has kept this 240 00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:12,560 moment from happening 241 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:15,199 sooner is it just humans getting in our 242 00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:17,360 own way again i mean how does this 243 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:20,000 kind of stuff affect the cryptozoology 244 00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,720 community 245 00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,879 in particular same as the ufology 246 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:24,240 community i'd assume there's a lot of 247 00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:25,360 parallels but 248 00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:28,479 why hasn't this community caught up 249 00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:31,599 i think that there is such an earnest 250 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:33,279 desire to be acknowledged by the 251 00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:35,200 scientific community that 252 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,120 it becomes more prudent to throw out 253 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:39,039 these high strange 254 00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,880 outliers than it is to actually try to 255 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:42,560 engage with them i mean bigfoot is a 256 00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,599 hard enough cell 257 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,839 as a giant undiscovered monkey and you 258 00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:47,519 know ufos are a hard enough cell as 259 00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:48,160 being 260 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:51,279 spacecraft from other planets you know 261 00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:52,320 you can only compound 262 00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:53,760 the difficulty of trying to get people 263 00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:55,920 to engage with these topics by saying 264 00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:59,040 yeah and they also disappear and or you 265 00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:59,519 know 266 00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:00,880 there's a lot of stuff in the ufo 267 00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:02,240 contact experience that looks like 268 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:03,279 spirit contact 269 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:04,800 people really start to roll their eyes 270 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:06,880 and i really think it's from this real 271 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:08,800 desire to sit at quote unquote the big 272 00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:09,920 kids table 273 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:11,519 of science i think that really is what 274 00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:13,120 motivates a lot of people but you know 275 00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:14,800 for me and i think i speak for tim in 276 00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:16,160 this regard too 277 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:18,160 it really is disingenuous to say we need 278 00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:19,279 to believe witnesses 279 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,200 and then toss out oh well the witness 280 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:23,040 also said that the bigfoot was holding a 281 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:24,560 glowing orb or something along those 282 00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:25,040 lines 283 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,240 if you believe witnesses you believe 284 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:28,800 witness is full stop yeah 285 00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,600 i think that's a great point and tim i 286 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:33,279 know you're out in pennsylvania 287 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:35,680 and you've written about weird stuff in 288 00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:37,360 that area before 289 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:40,080 this book relays a pretty wild bigfoot 290 00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:41,920 sighting in the intro that 291 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:44,240 pretty much checks off most of the weird 292 00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:45,200 boxes and 293 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:48,560 sort of acts as the quintessential 294 00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:51,120 weird bigfoot experience can you talk to 295 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:51,760 us about 296 00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,680 this case a bit for people who have 297 00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:56,160 maybe been tainted by that selective 298 00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,160 editing process researchers have been 299 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,000 serving them up in the past and 300 00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:02,720 maybe aren't aware of how much context 301 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:04,079 has been left out 302 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,519 when we think about bigfoot 303 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:07,360 traditionally 304 00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:10,000 yeah well this was when josh and i 305 00:10:13,509 --> 00:10:11,360 started writing the book 306 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:13,519 we had plenty of meetings back and forth 307 00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:16,240 but i think pretty early on we agreed 308 00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:18,079 if there's one case that's sort of the 309 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:19,600 best representation 310 00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:21,120 of the kind of stuff we're talking about 311 00:10:24,670 --> 00:10:23,120 it's this case from fayette county 312 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:24,680 pennsylvania in 313 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:29,200 1973 and the case begins with a ufo 314 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:29,839 sighting 315 00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:31,040 a bunch of different witnesses i think 316 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:32,000 it's something like 10 different 317 00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:33,040 witnesses or something 318 00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:36,079 see a red or orange depending on who you 319 00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:36,640 ask 320 00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,000 globe in the sky and this descended into 321 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,200 the farm field of the main witnesses at 322 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:45,680 parents farm i believe 323 00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:48,000 and he proceeded to get in his truck 324 00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:49,600 with some two neighbor boys and they 325 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,720 went up to 326 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:53,440 see what happened when this thing 327 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,959 appeared to land 328 00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:56,480 now when they see it on the ground it's 329 00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:58,320 no longer red or orange they describe it 330 00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,040 as a white 331 00:11:03,269 --> 00:11:01,760 kind of dome like shape that's either 332 00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,279 landed on the ground or hovering just 333 00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:05,040 above it 334 00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:07,760 and they're observing this whatever it 335 00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:08,320 is 336 00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:12,640 object that's glowing 337 00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:16,000 in the field and one of the kids points 338 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,320 out 339 00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:19,360 to the main witness kowalczyk that there 340 00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:21,760 are two creatures coming towards them 341 00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:24,320 and they observe these two bigfoot 342 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:25,839 creatures that are walking along a fence 343 00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,480 line 344 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,720 their eyes are glowing i think green i 345 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:29,920 deal with so many different color 346 00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,279 glowing eyes in the big book 347 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:33,279 i sometimes forget which case has which 348 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:34,640 color 349 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,519 and they're making these strange kind of 350 00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:39,360 bellowing utterances 351 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:42,560 and sounds like a crying baby i believe 352 00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:44,800 and there's a smell associated with them 353 00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:46,800 that they said sounded like i believe it 354 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:48,000 was like burning 355 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,760 rather it smelled like burning tar or 356 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:51,040 something some kind of bed 357 00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:54,079 yeah burning rubber i think yeah 358 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:57,839 and he proceeded to shoot them 359 00:12:02,230 --> 00:11:59,839 with no reaction at least the first time 360 00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,240 he shot him he shot a tracer 361 00:12:06,069 --> 00:12:04,959 above their head or alongside their head 362 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:06,079 and one creature 363 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,360 he said it reached out as if he was 364 00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:09,360 trying to grab the tracer 365 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:10,959 and then he actually shot the creature 366 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:12,160 when they considered to proceed to him 367 00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:13,600 he said he was sure he hid it 368 00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,720 but he said it sounded like it was 369 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,560 firing into a pond so it has this kind 370 00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:18,240 of watery sound 371 00:12:21,509 --> 00:12:19,680 that he fired into it otherwise it 372 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:21,519 didn't react 373 00:12:24,629 --> 00:12:23,680 they got out of there called the police 374 00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:24,639 the police called 375 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:27,200 an investigator named stan gordon who is 376 00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:27,680 still 377 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:30,000 investigating today a wonderful 378 00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:31,600 investigator from pennsylvania 379 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:34,720 and during this time in 1973 and 74 they 380 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,600 were having a 381 00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:37,440 really big flap of ufo and bigfoot 382 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:39,680 sightings all across pennsylvania 383 00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,320 and stan was the main investigator he'd 384 00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:44,000 given his name to the police so when the 385 00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:45,440 police got these strange 386 00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:48,000 calls or cases thrown into them they'd 387 00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,320 often call stan 388 00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:52,399 i think this all happened about 10 at 389 00:12:56,069 --> 00:12:54,560 night and stan and his investigation 390 00:12:58,389 --> 00:12:56,079 team were out there 391 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:58,399 by one in the morning the witness had 392 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,760 proceeded back to the location with the 393 00:13:03,269 --> 00:13:01,360 police officer 394 00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:03,279 when he fired into the creature i think 395 00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:04,399 he said it bellowed and 396 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,920 that dome-like shape disappeared he said 397 00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:07,600 it didn't fly away didn't take off into 398 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:08,560 the sky it just 399 00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:10,959 blinked out and disappeared when the 400 00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:13,839 policeman went back with the witness 401 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:16,480 there was a ring glowing on the ground 402 00:13:19,829 --> 00:13:18,160 where this object had been hovering or 403 00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:19,839 where it was landed 404 00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,880 that was bright enough to read a 405 00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:22,880 newspaper by the policeman said 406 00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:25,200 so they're very very bright still uh 407 00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,079 glowing there 408 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,320 they saw the creatures again kowalczyk 409 00:13:31,430 --> 00:13:30,000 fired again this time the creature did 410 00:13:33,269 --> 00:13:31,440 react and kind of charged towards them 411 00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:33,279 but they beat it out of there 412 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:36,160 so stan gordon's on the scene by 1 am 413 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:37,440 the following morning 414 00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:38,880 they go back to the location with the 415 00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:41,120 witness the witness has this 416 00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:44,399 event happen where he starts howling and 417 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:45,680 roaring and sort of 418 00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:48,560 making these inhuman sounds and he's 419 00:13:52,389 --> 00:13:50,079 running around like a madman 420 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:52,399 around the field and his own father said 421 00:13:55,189 --> 00:13:53,360 he thought 422 00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:55,199 that his son had been possessed by one 423 00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:57,120 of the bigfoot creatures the way he was 424 00:14:00,710 --> 00:13:58,800 acting 425 00:14:02,069 --> 00:14:00,720 he eventually passes out they help him 426 00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:02,079 from the field 427 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:05,040 he comes to and one of the most 428 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:05,680 interesting things 429 00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:06,720 he comes to and they hand him his 430 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,880 glasses and he says i don't need those 431 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:10,720 like he doesn't recognize his own 432 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:13,199 glasses and says he doesn't need them 433 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:15,040 but when he was out in this sort of 434 00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:16,720 altered state or this fugue state or 435 00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:17,680 whatever he was in 436 00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:20,560 he had a ufo contact e-like vision of a 437 00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:22,560 grim reaper type figure coming to him 438 00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:23,680 and telling him you know the world's 439 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:25,279 going to end unless mankind straightens 440 00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:26,079 out and 441 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:27,440 there's a kind of thing you've heard 442 00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:29,440 from ufo contactees 443 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:32,880 again and again his whole life is 444 00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:34,560 completely changed by this he was not a 445 00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:35,920 believer in anything 446 00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,959 unusual or paranormal before this and 447 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:40,639 after this he experiences different side 448 00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:41,920 effects and 449 00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:44,079 has these predictions of the future that 450 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:46,560 come to him that seem to be coming true 451 00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:49,440 and a few weeks after the event he's 452 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:51,600 visited by these two figures one of them 453 00:14:58,150 --> 00:14:54,720 is dressed like an air force officer 454 00:14:59,910 --> 00:14:58,160 another's in a suit and they 455 00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:59,920 either outright claim or at least 456 00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:01,600 suggest that 457 00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:05,120 they are there on behest of stan gordon 458 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:07,040 they show the witness some pictures he 459 00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:08,639 said they showed him pictures of bigfoot 460 00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:10,639 creatures and of ufos 461 00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:12,320 and they asked him if he would be 462 00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:13,760 willing to be hypnotized 463 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:17,360 they hypnotize him and years go by 464 00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:19,120 some years later stan gordon gets the 465 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:20,800 idea that i want to hypnotize this 466 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,760 witness and 467 00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:23,199 see if we can get any more information 468 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:26,079 from him and asked him if he would 469 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:28,000 submit to hypnosis and he says well you 470 00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:29,199 already hypnotized me 471 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:31,600 and tells stan the story of these two 472 00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:32,240 strange 473 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:34,800 figures these men and black like figures 474 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:35,519 that kind of come 475 00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:37,600 and hypnotize them a few weeks after the 476 00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:40,160 event so 477 00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:41,600 layers and layers and layers of 478 00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:43,759 strangeness all rolled into the single 479 00:15:47,509 --> 00:15:44,399 case 480 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:47,519 this absolutely fantastic example of the 481 00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:49,040 kind of things we're talking about as 482 00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:49,600 regards 483 00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,680 sasquatch yeah what i can't understand 484 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:53,279 is why all that happened around this 485 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:54,000 giant monkey 486 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:55,279 it just doesn't make any sense doesn't 487 00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:58,320 it well that's what i'm thinking and 488 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:00,639 i'm glad you opened the book with that 489 00:16:02,949 --> 00:16:02,560 and could tell the story here there's so 490 00:16:05,189 --> 00:16:02,959 many 491 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,199 weird details not only does he not need 492 00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:07,680 his glasses he doesn't recognize them 493 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:08,079 and 494 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:09,920 the most interesting thing to me is 495 00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:13,040 those after effects and i'm glad you 496 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:15,680 highlighted those as well i wonder how 497 00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:16,560 big 498 00:16:19,749 --> 00:16:19,040 the hole in the research is when it 499 00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:19,759 comes to 500 00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:22,480 following up on experiencers later to 501 00:16:27,749 --> 00:16:25,040 see if they did have prophetic dreams or 502 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:27,759 a possession spell or an mib visit we 503 00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:28,160 don't 504 00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:29,920 typically think of it that way because 505 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:31,199 oh you had a weird 506 00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:33,519 sighting of an animal but no if this is 507 00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:35,040 a paranormal 508 00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:37,279 cover for something strange because if 509 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:39,040 we're going to the chocolate thing he 510 00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:39,759 talked about 511 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:42,160 a lot of ufo things as a projection of 512 00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:43,040 some sorts 513 00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:46,160 so if this is just another skin for some 514 00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:47,199 projection 515 00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:48,639 then you would expect it to have the 516 00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:51,199 same effects later because it really 517 00:16:55,030 --> 00:16:54,000 affects people's consciousness in weird 518 00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:55,040 ways and 519 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,800 i guess i would ask how big do you think 520 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:58,399 that hole is do you think there's a lot 521 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,920 of after effects 522 00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:01,759 in this field of research that have 523 00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:03,199 probably been missed that need to be 524 00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:04,720 reopened 525 00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:07,919 i think that there are a lot of 526 00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:09,520 peripheral things that happen to a lot 527 00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:10,959 of these bigfoot witnesses especially 528 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:13,199 habituaters people who have longitudinal 529 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:14,480 experiences with bigfoot 530 00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:16,880 on or around their property i think that 531 00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:18,559 there's a lot of peripheral phenomena 532 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:20,079 that get underreported 533 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,839 we're only sort of now starting to see 534 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,280 the ufo 535 00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:25,439 community opening up about the high 536 00:17:28,789 --> 00:17:26,480 strangeness that 537 00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:28,799 surrounds all these ufo sightings now 538 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:30,320 they're willing to talk about oh yeah 539 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:32,080 after my experience i had poltergeist 540 00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:33,360 activity in my house or i have these 541 00:17:36,150 --> 00:17:34,720 profound synchronicities stuff that 542 00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:36,160 doesn't really fit 543 00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:38,559 with the extraterrestrial hypothesis and 544 00:17:41,909 --> 00:17:39,919 i think that 545 00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:41,919 the bigfoot community is coming out a 546 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:43,520 little bit more in favor of 547 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:45,840 discussing those things i'm reminded of 548 00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:47,919 my good friend mike clelland who 549 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,600 a long time ago said that you know a lot 550 00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:51,440 of nuts and bolts ufo researchers won't 551 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:52,880 talk about the weird stuff until you get 552 00:17:55,029 --> 00:17:54,080 them you know to the bar after the 553 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:55,039 conference and then get a couple of 554 00:17:58,150 --> 00:17:56,400 drinks in them and then you 555 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,160 start to hear these weird stories these 556 00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:00,240 stories that just seem like they're more 557 00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:02,160 super normal or supernatural than they 558 00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:02,400 are 559 00:18:05,909 --> 00:18:04,559 you know extraterrestrial and the 560 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:05,919 similar thing is happening 561 00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:07,679 in the bigfoot community from what i 562 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:09,440 understand i think that there was at one 563 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:10,559 point 564 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:12,559 and there probably is still with these 565 00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:15,120 larger bigfoot research organizations 566 00:18:19,190 --> 00:18:17,440 an effort to deliberately suppress a lot 567 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:19,200 of these strange aspects but i think 568 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:19,919 that 569 00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:21,919 and tim feel free to confirm or deny 570 00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:24,640 this in your opinion but i think that 571 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:26,559 the community is becoming much more open 572 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:28,320 about discussing these strange aspects i 573 00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:29,679 don't know if this book could have been 574 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:30,480 written 575 00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:32,720 10 or 15 years ago it should have been 576 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:35,360 written 10 or 15 years ago but 577 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:39,280 if it could have been yeah it seems like 578 00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:43,360 we're having a moment for weird bigfoot 579 00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:47,120 and you know i wonder if it's just not 580 00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,360 60 70 years of casting footprints 581 00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:53,679 and ignoring the weird stuff kind of 582 00:18:57,029 --> 00:18:54,559 leading to 583 00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:57,039 not many answers and people are just 584 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:58,240 kind of breaking and saying 585 00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:00,240 well we've ignored the weird stuff long 586 00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:01,600 enough now we have to dig in 587 00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:05,039 i'm not sure and 588 00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:07,440 josh you mentioned mike clelland and yes 589 00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:08,160 he has 590 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:10,080 a great book called the messengers all 591 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:12,000 about owls in this 592 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,080 whole paranormal space i had them on 593 00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:16,160 here got to be a couple years ago at 594 00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:16,960 this point 595 00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:19,200 but another good point that comes up in 596 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:20,000 your book 597 00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:22,240 that maybe even complicates things 598 00:19:26,549 --> 00:19:23,120 further is that 599 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:26,559 there very well could be a wild man 600 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:29,200 lineage or maybe just an archetype out 601 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:30,080 there 602 00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:32,640 but using the analogy that mike uses in 603 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:33,280 his work 604 00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:36,799 owls are real but sometimes owl imagery 605 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:39,520 is also used by something else that's 606 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,360 behind this weird stuff 607 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:43,280 and there could be a parallel there that 608 00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:46,160 maybe almost both are true in a sense 609 00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,480 yeah i mean i think you kind of have to 610 00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:50,240 at least entertain that idea because as 611 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:51,200 much as we're talking about the 612 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:51,760 weirdness 613 00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:53,039 that surrounds a lot of these bigfoot 614 00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:55,039 sightings there are aspects of these 615 00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:56,559 bigfoot sightings that are a hundred 616 00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:57,200 percent 617 00:20:01,110 --> 00:20:00,480 out of any primate textbook you'll see 618 00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:01,120 things like 619 00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:03,200 dermal ridges on you know the footprints 620 00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:04,799 and mid-parcel breaks 621 00:20:08,070 --> 00:20:06,559 things that are very specific to primate 622 00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:08,080 anatomy you'll find 623 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,240 reports of people stumbling upon bigfoot 624 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:12,240 and the bigfoot's hair standing on end 625 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:13,440 which is a common 626 00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:14,640 threat display it's called pillow 627 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:17,360 reduction the common threat display 628 00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,679 amongst higher primates so obviously 629 00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:23,440 there's got to be some sort of interplay 630 00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:25,360 with the natural world in this respect i 631 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,960 think i'm probably 632 00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,799 a little bit more charitable of the idea 633 00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:30,559 of a flesh and blood bigfoot than tim is 634 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:31,360 at this point 635 00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:33,679 even though i think i think i started 636 00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:34,960 out 637 00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:36,880 a little bit weird and then tim wasn't 638 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,480 as weird and then somehow we passed each 639 00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:40,880 other in the night so that now 640 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:42,559 so somehow i'm kind of the one who's 641 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:43,760 always willing to like leave a foot in 642 00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:45,679 the door for the flesh and blood primate 643 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:46,960 because let's be honest we don't really 644 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:49,679 have an idea of what is going on i think 645 00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:51,360 the most 646 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:54,720 can say is that if this 647 00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:58,559 is literally a undiscovered or 648 00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:01,120 a relic population of hominid it has 649 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:03,679 some strange attributes that we are just 650 00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:05,760 not prepared to discuss in terms of our 651 00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:07,360 current materials paradigm 652 00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:10,480 king of evolution if that's the case 653 00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:13,039 yes and on so many topics i find myself 654 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:15,200 drifting back and forth as well because 655 00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:16,080 you want to come to 656 00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:18,640 one conclusion and then you hear a story 657 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:20,720 that blows that conclusion up and so 658 00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:22,240 you're like well okay maybe i'll go back 659 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:23,039 over here 660 00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:25,200 but there's just so much weird data out 661 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,960 there of course when we grew up 662 00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:29,200 seeing the patterson footage and 663 00:21:31,669 --> 00:21:30,000 watching harry 664 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:31,679 and the hendersons it's definitely going 665 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:34,000 to have an effect on us thinking this is 666 00:21:42,390 --> 00:21:34,640 a 667 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:42,400 your mindset 668 00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,120 about how to look at this thing but man 669 00:21:50,149 --> 00:21:46,799 there's definitely just too much 670 00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:50,159 other weird stuff that can't be denied 671 00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:51,840 yeah we have to accept the possibility 672 00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:53,200 that there might be multiple 673 00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:55,760 scenarios at play but just throwing out 674 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:56,880 the strange stuff doesn't really do 675 00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:58,480 anybody any favors sorry tim you're 676 00:22:00,870 --> 00:21:59,280 about to say something 677 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,880 well i was going to say the other thing 678 00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:02,880 that that i was kind of told 679 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:04,480 as i was getting into this and kind of 680 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:05,919 poking at the weird stuff was 681 00:22:12,149 --> 00:22:09,600 that east coast big foot cases are weird 682 00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:12,159 and west coast bigfoot cases are natural 683 00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:13,200 animals 684 00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:15,679 and the further east you go the weirder 685 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,280 the cases get until you get to you know 686 00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:18,960 pennsylvania which is like king of the 687 00:22:23,029 --> 00:22:20,559 weird bigfoot stuff 688 00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:23,039 but it's really not true there's weird 689 00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:25,120 bigfoot stuff all over including plenty 690 00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:26,960 of weird big foot stuff from the pacific 691 00:22:32,070 --> 00:22:29,280 northwest 692 00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:32,080 and when it comes to high strangeness 693 00:22:34,630 --> 00:22:33,360 that accompanies these sightings you 694 00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:34,640 relay a lot of different 695 00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:37,039 sighting stories obviously they can be 696 00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:38,559 wildly different 697 00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:40,400 their own special snowflakes and all 698 00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:42,720 that but what are the major themes 699 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,640 on the checklist obviously that first 700 00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:46,480 story hit on several of them 701 00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:48,880 orbs of light a possession aspect an 702 00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:49,919 mib-like 703 00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:52,320 visit in the aftermath but what other 704 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:53,600 themes seem to come up 705 00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:55,200 more and more as you've dug into this 706 00:23:00,070 --> 00:22:58,320 thing well one of the things that has 707 00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:00,080 consistently stuck in my crawl for a 708 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:01,840 while is the similarities between 709 00:23:05,669 --> 00:23:03,600 poltergeist infestations and 710 00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:05,679 bigfoot class b reports so if anybody 711 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,840 isn't aware of this term the class b 712 00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,840 report is a term that the bigfoot field 713 00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:11,200 researcher organization 714 00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:14,559 has used to catalog 715 00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:16,000 things that happen in the forest that 716 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:17,760 are odd and highly suggestive of 717 00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,720 sasquatch but 718 00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:20,480 no sasquatch is actually seen and these 719 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:21,760 can include 720 00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:25,600 rock throwing noises wood knocks 721 00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:28,640 footprints etc but if you take 722 00:23:32,630 --> 00:23:31,200 all those different things that people 723 00:23:33,430 --> 00:23:32,640 attribute to sasquatch when they're in 724 00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:33,440 the woods 725 00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:35,360 and put them in a house centered around 726 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:37,360 you know for example a prepubescent girl 727 00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:39,520 you've got a poltergeist to the extent 728 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:40,880 that to the extent that you know 729 00:23:43,269 --> 00:23:42,320 sometimes these rocks that are thrown at 730 00:23:44,950 --> 00:23:43,279 people in the woods 731 00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:44,960 are warm to the touch now if you're you 732 00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:46,720 know of the more primatological way of 733 00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:48,240 thinking you say oh well the bigfoot was 734 00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:49,679 holding a rock in its hand and that's 735 00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:51,200 why the rock's warm and then it throws 736 00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:53,600 the person but it's interesting that 737 00:23:56,789 --> 00:23:54,720 without fail 738 00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:56,799 these rains and showers of stones that 739 00:24:01,269 --> 00:23:58,720 happen during poltergeist 740 00:24:02,230 --> 00:24:01,279 infestations are often hot or you know 741 00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:02,240 warm to the touch 742 00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:04,400 as well and you know there's precedence 743 00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:05,840 for all these other things these 744 00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:07,440 knocks and raps are one of the most 745 00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:09,279 common manifestations of poltergeist 746 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:11,120 activity particularly in seances it used 747 00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:12,080 to find during 748 00:24:15,269 --> 00:24:14,480 the spiritualist tradition and believe 749 00:24:17,830 --> 00:24:15,279 it or not 750 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,840 plenty of seances where people saw 751 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,919 manifestations of large hairy hands or 752 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,600 in some extreme examples 753 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,760 large man creatures or man things 754 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:25,279 covered in fur so there's this 755 00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:26,159 poltergeist 756 00:24:29,669 --> 00:24:28,000 aspect which kind of i think is 757 00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:29,679 interesting because it sort of 758 00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:30,880 threads its way through several of the 759 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:32,799 different topics a lot of different 760 00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:34,720 paranormal entities have been attributed 761 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:36,080 with this you know the stone throwing 762 00:24:39,669 --> 00:24:37,919 the lithoboli as it's called 763 00:24:41,909 --> 00:24:39,679 behavior including fairies and there's 764 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:41,919 an entire chapter dedicated to fairies 765 00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:44,320 the extraterrestrial connection which is 766 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:45,279 something i would have never 767 00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:48,320 put together ghosts and then 768 00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:50,559 tim's real areas of focus are sort of on 769 00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:52,159 window areas and gifting in this whole 770 00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:53,760 woman in white archetype which is 771 00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:54,880 something that really blew me away the 772 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,960 first time i i noticed it but 773 00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:58,400 there are definitely these things that 774 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:59,520 find their way through all these 775 00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:00,320 different 776 00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:03,679 topics the stone throwing the knocks the 777 00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:06,640 vocalizations the ability to phase 778 00:25:09,269 --> 00:25:07,200 through 779 00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:09,279 matter or to blink out of existence and 780 00:25:13,269 --> 00:25:10,320 disappear 781 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:13,279 all these things occur in each of these 782 00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:14,240 different subjects 783 00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:15,840 interestingly enough another topic you 784 00:25:18,870 --> 00:25:17,600 know why we haven't ever killed a 785 00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:18,880 bigfoot 786 00:25:22,870 --> 00:25:21,760 is because in almost every account let's 787 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:22,880 say almost every because there's some 788 00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:24,480 caveats to be made there but in almost 789 00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:25,600 every account people shoot at these 790 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:27,120 things and they don't even react 791 00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:28,320 it's not like they're injured or 792 00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:30,080 something they just literally act as if 793 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:31,360 nothing's happening 794 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:33,200 and you'll find that sort of bulletproof 795 00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:35,440 aspect manifesting itself in 796 00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:37,279 you know old world witch literature 797 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:38,799 where people would like fire a musket 798 00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:40,320 ball to witch's chest and the musket 799 00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:41,039 ball would 800 00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:42,480 be destroyed or somebody would try to 801 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:44,080 cut a witch's hair with some scissors 802 00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:45,440 and the scissors would become completely 803 00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:46,880 mangled and ruined so 804 00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:48,159 this idea that these creatures are 805 00:25:51,830 --> 00:25:50,559 impervious they just don't seem to have 806 00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:51,840 this real physical component it's 807 00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:53,200 something that comes up time and time 808 00:25:58,950 --> 00:25:56,400 again in all this all this literature 809 00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:58,960 yes i think that's a great breakdown and 810 00:26:02,149 --> 00:26:00,080 i think it's 811 00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:02,159 wild disguised as you put it but that's 812 00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:03,440 a really great 813 00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:05,039 connection to make because people have 814 00:26:07,029 --> 00:26:06,640 been looking at this stuff for so long 815 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:07,039 but 816 00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:08,559 they haven't really realized that the 817 00:26:13,190 --> 00:26:10,400 biggest difference between 818 00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:13,200 poltergeist themes and bigfoot themes is 819 00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:13,919 that you're either 820 00:26:17,269 --> 00:26:15,919 inside or outside because like you say 821 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:17,279 the wrapping sounds 822 00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:20,159 the throwing of rocks around happening 823 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:21,760 mainly after nightfall 824 00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:23,840 like those are pretty big similarities 825 00:26:28,549 --> 00:26:26,720 and probably shouldn't be discounted 826 00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:28,559 and another good example is one that tim 827 00:26:32,470 --> 00:26:30,640 is going to be diving into quite a bit 828 00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:32,480 in volume two which is already laid out 829 00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:33,279 we've just gotta 830 00:26:36,870 --> 00:26:35,520 we just gotta put it together now are 831 00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:36,880 these balls of light you know you see a 832 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:38,640 ball of light in the sky 833 00:26:42,870 --> 00:26:41,520 it's a ufo you see a ball of light 834 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,880 dancing across the countryside in 835 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:44,400 ireland it's a fairy you see a ball of 836 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:46,080 light inside an old house and it's a 837 00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:48,000 ghost from a haunted house and you see 838 00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:49,520 a ball of light in the woods and believe 839 00:26:53,269 --> 00:26:51,360 it or not there's actually a lot of 840 00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:53,279 connections between bigfoot and these 841 00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:54,559 mysterious orbs of light 842 00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:56,720 so i've often thought that it's kind of 843 00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:58,880 attractive to approach these ideas as 844 00:27:01,590 --> 00:27:00,799 sort of a pan-paranormal possibility 845 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:01,600 that there might be 846 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:03,760 one phenomena behind all these things 847 00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:05,360 and i'm not sure i like to 848 00:27:08,789 --> 00:27:06,880 leave some room for myself to be wrong 849 00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:08,799 on that but i think at the very least 850 00:27:12,149 --> 00:27:10,799 there is significant overlap in the venn 851 00:27:13,750 --> 00:27:12,159 diagrams of each of these different 852 00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:13,760 topics 853 00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:15,440 i think that's why i'm attracted to the 854 00:27:20,789 --> 00:27:18,480 idea of window areas because 855 00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:20,799 if you could say it's a window to the 856 00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:23,200 imaginative realm or the imaginal 857 00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,240 or something that uh you know probably 858 00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:28,720 fits in patrick harper's book 859 00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:31,600 it's like that makes a lot of this other 860 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,399 stuff 861 00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:34,559 make sense because why wouldn't many 862 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:36,399 things fall out of the 863 00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:39,279 imaginal realm and into this one i don't 864 00:27:41,909 --> 00:27:40,559 know that's kind of why i'm attracted 865 00:27:42,950 --> 00:27:41,919 that idea because everything is so 866 00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:42,960 varied 867 00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:44,480 well one of the reasons that i think 868 00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:46,960 that this collaboration between timothy 869 00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:48,000 and i work so well is 870 00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:51,200 that i'm mostly the guy looking for 871 00:27:55,909 --> 00:27:53,520 old you know dusty books and you know 872 00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:55,919 ancient archive.org pages of you know 873 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:57,440 finding all these old books and making 874 00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:00,000 those interdisciplinary connections but 875 00:28:04,630 --> 00:28:02,720 tim actually has a great amount of 876 00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:04,640 fieldwork under his belt and i'm super 877 00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:06,240 jealous because he happens to live in 878 00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:07,440 what i would i don't know if he would 879 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:08,720 but i would call 880 00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:10,640 his little slice of america sort of a 881 00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:13,440 window area in and of itself 882 00:28:16,549 --> 00:28:15,120 yeah i'm lucky to live where i live and 883 00:28:17,909 --> 00:28:16,559 be interested in this kind of stuff for 884 00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:17,919 sure 885 00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:19,120 well that was going to be one of my 886 00:28:22,789 --> 00:28:20,880 questions for you and our listeners 887 00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:22,799 would be extra interested 888 00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:26,080 because you are in pennsylvania you talk 889 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:27,200 about 890 00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:29,200 york county which borders the 891 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:32,080 susquehanna river and we have a 892 00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:34,799 semi-regular guest who talks about the 893 00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:36,880 magical potency and the 894 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:39,679 synchronicity potency of the susquehanna 895 00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:40,320 river 896 00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:43,520 and the long legacy it has of 897 00:28:47,590 --> 00:28:45,760 people performing rituals and offerings 898 00:28:51,269 --> 00:28:47,600 to the river goddess and 899 00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:51,279 so that sort of thing fitting within a 900 00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:53,600 paranormal hot spot we could say 901 00:28:57,590 --> 00:28:56,640 is very appropriate i think that makes a 902 00:28:59,430 --> 00:28:57,600 lot of sense but 903 00:29:00,710 --> 00:28:59,440 i guess i would ask you what has your 904 00:29:03,269 --> 00:29:00,720 field research 905 00:29:04,950 --> 00:29:03,279 and just living in that area what kind 906 00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:04,960 of insights has that given you 907 00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:07,279 that maybe someone who doesn't have 908 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:08,880 field research 909 00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:10,399 would have like what did you learn from 910 00:29:15,350 --> 00:29:12,000 getting out of the books and 911 00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:15,360 into the real environment i mean a lot 912 00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:17,760 you talk about a window area the chapter 913 00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:18,480 i have 914 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:21,919 in the book called the company they keep 915 00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:24,320 is about an area of eight to ten square 916 00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:25,840 miles in york county right along the 917 00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:26,720 river 918 00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:29,679 right along the susquehanna there where 919 00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:31,520 i started looking at bigfoot reports you 920 00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:32,240 know i tracked 921 00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:34,559 an old report from a paper back in you 922 00:29:39,269 --> 00:29:36,480 know the 1880s 923 00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:39,279 and then i noticed how many reports i 924 00:29:42,789 --> 00:29:40,799 was getting from this area 925 00:29:44,070 --> 00:29:42,799 and i tracked these reports through the 926 00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:44,080 years and 927 00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,520 i was like wow that's a lot of bigfoot 928 00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:47,360 reports for this area 929 00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:49,840 so i started you know really looking at 930 00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:50,640 the area 931 00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:54,000 and digging in and you know two things 932 00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:54,559 became 933 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:56,640 apparent first of all there's no 934 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:57,760 wilderness there 935 00:30:01,029 --> 00:29:59,840 in which a breeding population of giant 936 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:01,039 ape men could 937 00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:02,960 live and hide you know there's some 938 00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:04,159 woods there 939 00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:06,880 some beautiful hiking trails but you 940 00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:07,200 know 941 00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:09,600 breeding population of giant ape 942 00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:10,960 creatures like there's just there's 943 00:30:14,310 --> 00:30:12,320 nothing there for it there's 944 00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:14,320 no place for them to hide there's 945 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:15,520 probably enough food 946 00:30:18,630 --> 00:30:17,120 i guess although the environmental 947 00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:18,640 impact would be pretty 948 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,480 evident i think if there was a again a 949 00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:22,080 breeding population of 950 00:30:26,389 --> 00:30:24,720 giant ape creatures there but there's 951 00:30:28,789 --> 00:30:26,399 definitely no place for them to hide 952 00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:28,799 so i'm left with these questions like 953 00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:29,840 well 954 00:30:33,669 --> 00:30:32,399 what's going on are they coming through 955 00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:33,679 you know are they nomadic 956 00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:35,200 a lot of the flesh and blood researchers 957 00:30:38,789 --> 00:30:37,200 well they're nomadic well i'm getting 958 00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:38,799 reports from all times a year 959 00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:41,600 so that doesn't make sense for a nomadic 960 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:43,120 creature like why are they there in the 961 00:30:49,029 --> 00:30:45,600 winter and the summer 962 00:30:50,870 --> 00:30:49,039 and then i started noticing 963 00:30:53,269 --> 00:30:50,880 all this other weirdness as i'm looking 964 00:30:54,789 --> 00:30:53,279 at bigfoot cases i'm asking around 965 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:54,799 in the area and people are like oh yeah 966 00:30:57,750 --> 00:30:57,279 yeah you know my cousin saw bigfoot here 967 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:57,760 in 968 00:31:01,190 --> 00:31:00,399 1975 or whatever but this house is 969 00:31:03,909 --> 00:31:01,200 haunted 970 00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:03,919 i'm like oh okay and there's a ghost 971 00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:05,039 story here and 972 00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:06,480 there were spiritualists that lived in 973 00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:08,399 this house and they would do automatic 974 00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:09,600 writing and they said 975 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:11,120 pirates sailed up the susquehanna and 976 00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:12,720 buried treasure in the area 977 00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:14,880 and there's ufo sightings and again it's 978 00:31:17,269 --> 00:31:16,720 all this stuff in this eight square mile 979 00:31:19,509 --> 00:31:17,279 area 980 00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:19,519 and i just started thinking there's a 981 00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:21,120 lot of weird stuff here 982 00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:24,320 for it not to be connected and at some 983 00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:25,919 point i was just casually this is long 984 00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:26,799 before we ever 985 00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:28,320 started working on the book i was just 986 00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:30,159 casually talking to josh about it 987 00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:32,559 and he said you know very offhandedly to 988 00:31:35,029 --> 00:31:34,000 me said tim look at the company these 989 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:35,039 things keep and 990 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:36,480 you know gave me the title for that 991 00:31:40,230 --> 00:31:38,399 chapter but 992 00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:40,240 it's a lot of wisdom to it and i started 993 00:31:44,310 --> 00:31:42,240 just thinking about it like wow this is 994 00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:44,320 you know how rare is it to see a bigfoot 995 00:31:47,669 --> 00:31:46,320 how rare is it to see a ufo 996 00:31:49,669 --> 00:31:47,679 and now we're talking about multiple 997 00:31:51,430 --> 00:31:49,679 instances of people seeing both 998 00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:51,440 in this you know 8 to 10 square mile 999 00:31:54,149 --> 00:31:53,200 area there's also a nuclear power plant 1000 00:31:56,070 --> 00:31:54,159 dropped in there 1001 00:31:57,269 --> 00:31:56,080 there's all kinds of just strange 1002 00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:57,279 strange stuff there 1003 00:32:00,389 --> 00:32:00,000 so that was a major factor for me kind 1004 00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:00,399 of 1005 00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:02,320 backing away from that flesh and blood 1006 00:32:06,389 --> 00:32:03,600 hypothesis and 1007 00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:06,399 getting into more of this weird idea so 1008 00:32:09,909 --> 00:32:07,279 between that 1009 00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:09,919 and also talking to witnesses on a 1010 00:32:13,669 --> 00:32:10,880 regular basis 1011 00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:13,679 and you know josh touch on this i think 1012 00:32:17,110 --> 00:32:15,760 it's important to point out that 1013 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,120 you know if a hunter sees a creature 1014 00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:19,200 walk by when he's in a tree stand or if 1015 00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:20,240 you know somebody's driving down the 1016 00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:22,159 road and a big foot crosses in front of 1017 00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:22,640 them 1018 00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:24,799 i don't blame those people at all for 1019 00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:26,399 thinking they're natural creatures 1020 00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:28,320 all the information they got at the 1021 00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:30,240 moment they saw it was that there's a 1022 00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:31,919 natural creature that walked across 1023 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:33,679 in front of my vision and walked into 1024 00:32:37,029 --> 00:32:35,600 the woods or whatever happened 1025 00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,039 but it's these people that have these 1026 00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:39,440 repeat encounters and 1027 00:32:44,789 --> 00:32:43,200 without fail when i start asking them 1028 00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:44,799 what else happens what else happens what 1029 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:46,240 else happens well there's weird lights 1030 00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:48,000 we saw orbs there's this there's this 1031 00:32:52,230 --> 00:32:49,760 happens there's poltergeist activity 1032 00:32:53,110 --> 00:32:52,240 at my house it's really just a checklist 1033 00:32:56,310 --> 00:32:53,120 you can go through 1034 00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:56,320 so it's very very valuable to have that 1035 00:32:59,909 --> 00:32:58,480 boots on the ground experience i think 1036 00:33:01,029 --> 00:32:59,919 when you talk to these people and they 1037 00:33:02,389 --> 00:33:01,039 just start opening up 1038 00:33:03,990 --> 00:33:02,399 then and telling once they know it's 1039 00:33:05,669 --> 00:33:04,000 safe once they know you don't think 1040 00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:05,679 they're crazy for seeing a bigfoot 1041 00:33:08,710 --> 00:33:07,120 they'll open up and tell you about the 1042 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,720 other stuff and again 1043 00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:10,240 i can't think of an instance where 1044 00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:11,919 people have had repeat encounters that 1045 00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:13,120 i've talked to them that they 1046 00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,880 haven't also experienced other weird 1047 00:33:19,750 --> 00:33:16,640 stuff with bigfoot 1048 00:33:21,669 --> 00:33:19,760 right on yes repeat experiences another 1049 00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:21,679 commonality with other slices of the 1050 00:33:25,509 --> 00:33:24,000 paranormal pie for sure 1051 00:33:27,909 --> 00:33:25,519 and it wouldn't make sense in the 1052 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:27,919 context of a flesh and blood 1053 00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:29,840 creature you know you could say there's 1054 00:33:33,029 --> 00:33:31,760 a lot of areas where bears or mountain 1055 00:33:35,269 --> 00:33:33,039 lions are rare 1056 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:35,279 but if you know one family is seeing a 1057 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:36,799 mountain lion every week then 1058 00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:38,399 something's definitely up 1059 00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:41,039 and josh you have a great story that 1060 00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:42,399 kicks off your section 1061 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:45,519 on the fairy folk loreal 1062 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:48,080 overlap we could say because it has my 1063 00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:49,840 favorite magic words 1064 00:33:58,310 --> 00:33:53,440 subterranean lair and this comes from uh 1065 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:58,320 june 9th 1857 edition of salem's weekly 1066 00:34:02,549 --> 00:34:01,200 organ statesman really going into the 1067 00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:02,559 archives for that one but 1068 00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:04,159 can you tell us a little bit about this 1069 00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:06,080 particular case 1070 00:34:09,829 --> 00:34:07,760 actually this was brought to my 1071 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:09,839 attention by tim and i've since found 1072 00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:10,560 that in 1073 00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:12,960 another book on large hairy giants where 1074 00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:14,879 they really weird washed 1075 00:34:18,149 --> 00:34:16,480 everything out of it all the strange 1076 00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:18,159 aspects but 1077 00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:21,760 there was a young boy who was 1078 00:34:26,069 --> 00:34:24,639 overnighting in the forest with an adult 1079 00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:26,079 and he heard this long 1080 00:34:31,589 --> 00:34:29,200 sort of loud plaintive cry in the forest 1081 00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:31,599 and this hairy man beast about you know 1082 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:32,800 13 or so feet high 1083 00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:35,200 steps out and he says it had eyes that 1084 00:34:39,030 --> 00:34:37,040 glowed like liquid balls of fire and 1085 00:34:40,389 --> 00:34:39,040 this hairy man thing which obviously you 1086 00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:40,399 know given that it's oregon and it's 1087 00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:41,679 tall and a hairy man thing 1088 00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:44,320 had to say a sasquatch appears to this 1089 00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:45,760 boy and grabs him 1090 00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:47,760 and takes him through a trap door to 1091 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:50,240 this underground layer that was 1092 00:34:54,629 --> 00:34:52,879 indirectly illuminated and the ceiling 1093 00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:54,639 was domed and appeared to be covered 1094 00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:54,960 with 1095 00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:57,599 almost like seashell type textures of 1096 00:35:01,109 --> 00:34:58,720 every shape and color 1097 00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:01,119 and you know deeper in the cave he heard 1098 00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:02,800 this sort of unearthly music 1099 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:06,079 echoing out of the tunnels so this wild 1100 00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:06,880 man 1101 00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:09,920 leaves the boy there and eventually 1102 00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:10,560 returns 1103 00:35:15,829 --> 00:35:14,160 lady who takes this 1104 00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:15,839 basically a business card this card 1105 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:18,480 that's embossed with the words that said 1106 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:21,440 boy depart henceforth with or remain and 1107 00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:22,800 be devoured 1108 00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:25,200 and so the boy ended up exacting his 1109 00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:26,000 escape 1110 00:35:31,829 --> 00:35:29,359 now this is striking because it sounds 1111 00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:31,839 almost identical to a lot of the 1112 00:35:34,870 --> 00:35:33,200 fairy lore that you'll find in the 1113 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:34,880 british isles 1114 00:35:39,349 --> 00:35:37,280 oftentimes people would either stumble 1115 00:35:40,950 --> 00:35:39,359 into or be abducted to fairyland and 1116 00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:40,960 while there 1117 00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:43,520 someone that they knew typically a 1118 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:44,160 deceased 1119 00:35:47,349 --> 00:35:46,800 friend relative or neighbor would come 1120 00:35:49,510 --> 00:35:47,359 up to them 1121 00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:49,520 and tell them you've got to get out of 1122 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:51,200 here don't eat the food 1123 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:53,440 or else you'll be stuck here their goal 1124 00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:54,880 is to keep you here forever 1125 00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:57,200 so motivatedly that lines up perfectly 1126 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:59,119 you've got this sort of unearthly music 1127 00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:00,640 floating through the air and fairies 1128 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:02,720 love to make music and oftentimes 1129 00:36:05,589 --> 00:36:04,160 unearthly music that didn't seem to have 1130 00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:05,599 a source would be attributed to the 1131 00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:06,160 faithful 1132 00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:08,480 and also i think that the description of 1133 00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:10,640 this underground cave is being 1134 00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:12,960 illuminated from some non-existent light 1135 00:36:17,030 --> 00:36:15,200 source and being beautiful and domed 1136 00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:17,040 has a lot of precedent not only in the 1137 00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:18,480 alien abduction literature where you 1138 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:19,280 often find this 1139 00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:21,200 illumination from no obvious place in 1140 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:23,359 the sort of domed circular area 1141 00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:24,960 but also a lot of descriptions of the 1142 00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:26,960 space that you emerge into 1143 00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:30,800 on dmt trips this sort of very elaborate 1144 00:36:33,910 --> 00:36:33,599 almost like uh domed i want to say like 1145 00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:33,920 a 1146 00:36:41,589 --> 00:36:38,320 eye 1147 00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:41,599 yeah exactly so you put all these things 1148 00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:42,800 together and then you throw a bigfoot on 1149 00:36:44,310 --> 00:36:44,000 top and you're like what are we looking 1150 00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:44,320 at 1151 00:36:50,390 --> 00:36:48,800 will push back and say well fairies were 1152 00:36:51,829 --> 00:36:50,400 always small and while there's some 1153 00:36:53,270 --> 00:36:51,839 degree of truth to that fairies were 1154 00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:53,280 also shapeshifters and there are plenty 1155 00:36:56,310 --> 00:36:54,720 of stories of 1156 00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:56,320 taller entities that fall under that 1157 00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:58,800 fairy umbrella like trolls and ogres and 1158 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,839 whatnot 1159 00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:01,920 really interesting that a lot of the 1160 00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:03,119 british folklore 1161 00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:05,280 describes brownies in their ilk so 1162 00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:06,960 brownies goblins 1163 00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:09,200 pick emderlin a lot of these different 1164 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:10,079 sort of small 1165 00:37:13,510 --> 00:37:11,760 classes of fairies were described as 1166 00:37:15,349 --> 00:37:13,520 being little short hairy men with these 1167 00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:15,359 monkey faces so again there's a nice 1168 00:37:19,349 --> 00:37:17,920 little bigfoot connection there as well 1169 00:37:20,790 --> 00:37:19,359 and that rabbit hole just keeps getting 1170 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:20,800 deeper and deeper the more you peel away 1171 00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:22,000 from it you know to the extent 1172 00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:24,240 that some people said you could summon 1173 00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:25,040 fairies by 1174 00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:27,440 knocking three times on a tree and what 1175 00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:28,800 do we see time and again in bigfoot 1176 00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:30,240 reports but are these wood knocks that 1177 00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:31,680 people say are either 1178 00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:33,520 bigfoot knocking rocks together or 1179 00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:35,440 bigfoot knocking a limb on a tree to 1180 00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:36,960 present these sort of knocks 1181 00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:39,200 in the forest so just it's a rich vein 1182 00:37:41,829 --> 00:37:40,640 of inquiry that i don't think a lot of 1183 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:41,839 people have really taken the time to 1184 00:37:46,310 --> 00:37:42,880 look into 1185 00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:46,320 yes same shape for sure and obviously 1186 00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:48,160 josh and i have talked about this 1187 00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:49,680 underground stuff before but what are 1188 00:37:53,910 --> 00:37:50,800 your thoughts on the 1189 00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:53,920 subterranean aspect of this stuff tim i 1190 00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:54,640 mean again 1191 00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:56,480 from field research one of the questions 1192 00:37:58,550 --> 00:37:57,920 i ask people when i go out on any 1193 00:38:01,670 --> 00:37:58,560 paranormal 1194 00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:01,680 investigation is what's buried in the 1195 00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:02,960 ground here that's special 1196 00:38:06,710 --> 00:38:04,960 ah are there stories of buried treasure 1197 00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:06,720 is there old minds 1198 00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,760 and a lot of the time 1199 00:38:13,109 --> 00:38:11,760 i can't put a number on it i'd say 75 1200 00:38:14,870 --> 00:38:13,119 percent probably 1201 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:14,880 or more you get these stories that 1202 00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:16,480 people say oh yeah there's a story of 1203 00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:18,320 buried treasure or yeah there's a lost 1204 00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:19,920 silver mine here that 1205 00:38:22,150 --> 00:38:21,040 you know there's a legend in the 1206 00:38:24,069 --> 00:38:22,160 neighborhood that there was a silver 1207 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:24,079 mine that people had dug here and 1208 00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:26,160 you know it's not here even sometimes it 1209 00:38:29,430 --> 00:38:27,680 comes to 1210 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:29,440 the idea that the creatures themselves 1211 00:38:32,790 --> 00:38:30,800 are living in the ground so it's this 1212 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:32,800 idea that there's something 1213 00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:36,079 special something in the ground that is 1214 00:38:39,910 --> 00:38:38,720 special or valuable and i find it again 1215 00:38:42,230 --> 00:38:39,920 and again 1216 00:38:43,270 --> 00:38:42,240 a lot of the places i investigate you 1217 00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:43,280 know they've been digging into the 1218 00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:44,880 ground for hundreds of years 1219 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:48,640 their old minds and so forth so 1220 00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:50,240 i think there's something to it there's 1221 00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:52,480 really something to it the idea of 1222 00:38:55,510 --> 00:38:54,079 you know again it's something it's not 1223 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:55,520 always gold that's buried in the ground 1224 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,119 but it's the idea of something special 1225 00:39:00,630 --> 00:38:59,200 something valuable being in the ground 1226 00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:00,640 yes and again 1227 00:39:04,150 --> 00:39:02,560 that's a common folkloric trope not only 1228 00:39:05,349 --> 00:39:04,160 the monster or the dragon guarding 1229 00:39:07,109 --> 00:39:05,359 buried treasure but also 1230 00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:07,119 fairies and ghosts which have multiple 1231 00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:09,200 points of correlation with these bigfoot 1232 00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:09,760 sightings 1233 00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:12,240 would often be found lurking around 1234 00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:14,320 these sites of buried treasure i was 1235 00:39:16,550 --> 00:39:15,440 astonished to find 1236 00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:16,560 not only this correlation which is 1237 00:39:20,069 --> 00:39:18,480 another so every now and then 1238 00:39:21,589 --> 00:39:20,079 every now and then tim comes to me with 1239 00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:21,599 this thing oh yeah yeah bigfoot and 1240 00:39:23,109 --> 00:39:22,800 buried treasure there's a connection 1241 00:39:25,349 --> 00:39:23,119 there 1242 00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:25,359 like what are you talking about and then 1243 00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:26,800 i look into it i'm like oh yeah tim 1244 00:39:29,589 --> 00:39:28,240 you're exactly right so while not 1245 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:29,599 explicitly buried treasure the idea of 1246 00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:31,359 like mine shafts and whatnot 1247 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:33,119 and i was surprised to find that that is 1248 00:39:35,670 --> 00:39:34,400 not only consistent 1249 00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:35,680 in several cases that we have in the 1250 00:39:39,270 --> 00:39:37,760 book but also the most famous of 1251 00:39:40,870 --> 00:39:39,280 you know north american treasures oak 1252 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:40,880 island also has 1253 00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:43,760 basically a bigfoot that appeared during 1254 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:45,359 what sounds like a sleep paralysis 1255 00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:46,079 incident 1256 00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:47,520 to one of the night watchmen and said 1257 00:39:50,950 --> 00:39:49,280 you know you've got to leave 1258 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:50,960 this bigfoot sitting on his chest it's 1259 00:39:54,950 --> 00:39:53,599 like that's just strange sleep paralysis 1260 00:39:57,589 --> 00:39:54,960 and buried treasure and 1261 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:57,599 this large hairy man thing appearing all 1262 00:40:03,190 --> 00:40:00,400 in the same spot it's just wild 1263 00:40:04,870 --> 00:40:03,200 it is it is and didn't that guy say it 1264 00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:04,880 was the only thing that ever scared him 1265 00:40:08,950 --> 00:40:06,800 he descended into alcoholism and 1266 00:40:10,870 --> 00:40:08,960 eventually killed himself 1267 00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:10,880 yes so he was originally a treasure 1268 00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:12,880 hunter himself and he had 1269 00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:14,720 an associate of his die after hitting a 1270 00:40:17,349 --> 00:40:16,240 pocket of gas while looking for the oak 1271 00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:17,359 island treasure 1272 00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:19,920 and he was kept on as a night watchman 1273 00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:22,000 and one night 1274 00:40:25,670 --> 00:40:24,720 around 11 or 12 o'clock he had this fire 1275 00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:25,680 going and he 1276 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,040 woke up and he couldn't breathe and 1277 00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:28,800 there were these two giant red eyes 1278 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:30,319 staring in his face and the red eyes 1279 00:40:35,670 --> 00:40:32,160 were attached to this 1280 00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:35,680 curly haired covered entity that said 1281 00:40:38,790 --> 00:40:37,359 you know don't ever come back it smiled 1282 00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:38,800 at him and it just you know blinked out 1283 00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:39,359 of sight 1284 00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:41,920 and after that he did have some serious 1285 00:40:45,030 --> 00:40:43,200 problems with 1286 00:40:47,109 --> 00:40:45,040 you know anxiety and depression and 1287 00:40:48,710 --> 00:40:47,119 alcoholism which ties into another thing 1288 00:40:50,390 --> 00:40:48,720 that you see that a lot of 1289 00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:50,400 flesh and blood cryptozoid just like to 1290 00:40:53,829 --> 00:40:51,920 sort of poo poo is this idea that there 1291 00:40:55,349 --> 00:40:53,839 might be some sort of bigfoot curse that 1292 00:40:57,990 --> 00:40:55,359 seeing or interacting with bigfoot 1293 00:40:58,950 --> 00:40:58,000 might manifest and it's something of a 1294 00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:58,960 trope 1295 00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:00,960 that you have to sort of broaden your 1296 00:41:04,470 --> 00:41:02,560 your interpretation 1297 00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:04,480 of what a curse might be and then you 1298 00:41:07,270 --> 00:41:06,240 start to it starts to come into focus a 1299 00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:07,280 little bit better 1300 00:41:10,069 --> 00:41:08,720 you know a lot of people say oh well 1301 00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:10,079 people see sasquatch all the time and 1302 00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:10,800 don't die 1303 00:41:13,990 --> 00:41:12,560 well yes but people also see sasquatch 1304 00:41:16,630 --> 00:41:14,000 all the time and their lives are forever 1305 00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:16,640 changed you have people who have 1306 00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:18,079 tens of thousands of dollars of hunting 1307 00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:19,680 equipment never wanting to go back into 1308 00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:20,960 the forest i think they would consider 1309 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:22,000 that a curse 1310 00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:23,760 in addition to stuff like alcoholism 1311 00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:25,200 which is a very common thing people you 1312 00:41:29,270 --> 00:41:25,760 know 1313 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:29,280 being overturned by seeing these things 1314 00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:31,440 and again you find this in fairy 1315 00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:33,280 folklore as well the idea that you 1316 00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:34,560 actually wouldn't even call them fairies 1317 00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:35,760 you'd call them the good people or the 1318 00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:37,040 we folk or something 1319 00:41:41,910 --> 00:41:40,160 you find a precedent for that as well in 1320 00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:41,920 certain tribes and for example alaska 1321 00:41:45,589 --> 00:41:44,000 who don't necessarily refer to 1322 00:41:47,030 --> 00:41:45,599 their bigfoot analogs by name either 1323 00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:47,040 they use euphemisms 1324 00:41:50,069 --> 00:41:48,640 for their bigfoot as well because 1325 00:41:50,790 --> 00:41:50,079 they're afraid of you know invoking 1326 00:41:52,390 --> 00:41:50,800 their wrath 1327 00:41:55,349 --> 00:41:52,400 so you know motifically these things 1328 00:41:57,750 --> 00:41:55,359 just keep on lining up 1329 00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:57,760 yeah great points and tim i think you're 1330 00:42:00,550 --> 00:41:58,480 right to 1331 00:42:02,470 --> 00:42:00,560 ask what's in the ground around here i 1332 00:42:04,309 --> 00:42:02,480 think that's an awesome 1333 00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:04,319 first question when you're investigating 1334 00:42:08,870 --> 00:42:06,720 stuff and there is so much unknown 1335 00:42:09,589 --> 00:42:08,880 history especially here in the states i 1336 00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:09,599 mean we've got 1337 00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:12,079 probably mass graves we don't know about 1338 00:42:15,109 --> 00:42:12,640 there's 1339 00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:15,119 magic mounds that we've dismissed as 1340 00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:16,960 nothing and of course that's another 1341 00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:18,000 aspect of 1342 00:42:22,390 --> 00:42:20,560 the unknown history is our attitudes 1343 00:42:24,470 --> 00:42:22,400 towards the native people who were here 1344 00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:24,480 that's definitely colored this research 1345 00:42:27,030 --> 00:42:24,880 and 1346 00:42:28,470 --> 00:42:27,040 you have some native american stories in 1347 00:42:31,510 --> 00:42:28,480 the book that are great 1348 00:42:32,790 --> 00:42:31,520 that you could imagine 100 years ago 1349 00:42:35,349 --> 00:42:32,800 were probably 1350 00:42:35,829 --> 00:42:35,359 not taken with the same weight that we 1351 00:42:38,230 --> 00:42:35,839 would 1352 00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:38,240 read them today so there's all kinds of 1353 00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:39,520 stuff that 1354 00:42:43,349 --> 00:42:41,200 is going to make it hard to solve this 1355 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,359 problem or solve this puzzle 1356 00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:45,599 when we just don't even know so many 1357 00:42:50,470 --> 00:42:47,520 aspects of the history which might play 1358 00:42:54,069 --> 00:42:50,480 a real role in what the hell is going on 1359 00:42:56,069 --> 00:42:54,079 yeah absolutely josh dug into 1360 00:42:57,990 --> 00:42:56,079 the native american folklore a little 1361 00:43:01,190 --> 00:42:58,000 bit more than i did 1362 00:43:03,430 --> 00:43:01,200 our problem with that i think 1363 00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:03,440 when approaching this book well was 1364 00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:04,560 probably multifold 1365 00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:08,720 or manifold rather but part of it was 1366 00:43:12,470 --> 00:43:10,480 people tend to treat native american 1367 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:12,480 culture monolithically 1368 00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:14,800 you know native americans believe this 1369 00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:16,720 and they'll give you a blanket 1370 00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:19,040 for me more than that it was the 1371 00:43:23,670 --> 00:43:20,640 tendency for flesh and blood 1372 00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:23,680 bigfoot researchers to just use the 1373 00:43:27,910 --> 00:43:24,480 names 1374 00:43:29,829 --> 00:43:27,920 had for 1375 00:43:31,030 --> 00:43:29,839 whatever their wild man was the you know 1376 00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:31,040 the big hairy thing that lived in the 1377 00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:32,720 forest next to them whether it was oma 1378 00:43:37,829 --> 00:43:36,160 or sasquatch or any number of these you 1379 00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:37,839 know native names they'd love to do that 1380 00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:38,640 because 1381 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:40,880 look native americans were talking about 1382 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:42,480 these creatures before we ever got here 1383 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:44,319 and they had a name for them 1384 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,520 but they completely edit out 1385 00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:49,280 anything when these same native 1386 00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:50,720 americans would say yeah but these 1387 00:43:52,950 --> 00:43:51,440 creatures 1388 00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:52,960 come from another world or they have 1389 00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:54,880 magic powers or 1390 00:43:58,630 --> 00:43:57,520 yes they're another type of indian a big 1391 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:58,640 harry indian but 1392 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:01,440 they also have these special abilities 1393 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,280 that they can do this this and this 1394 00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:05,440 so these aspects are just not talked 1395 00:44:08,950 --> 00:44:06,400 about 1396 00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:08,960 again it's the selective editing to use 1397 00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:10,400 anything that makes it seem like a 1398 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:11,520 natural creature 1399 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:13,839 and take out anything else and it's a 1400 00:44:18,630 --> 00:44:15,599 real failing i think 1401 00:44:19,510 --> 00:44:18,640 of looking back at any historical 1402 00:44:22,069 --> 00:44:19,520 culture 1403 00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:22,079 whether it be native american or through 1404 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:23,520 european folklore 1405 00:44:26,950 --> 00:44:25,920 and say well they knew what they were 1406 00:44:28,470 --> 00:44:26,960 talking about when they were talking 1407 00:44:29,430 --> 00:44:28,480 about you know a natural creature like a 1408 00:44:31,670 --> 00:44:29,440 wolf 1409 00:44:33,190 --> 00:44:31,680 but when they saw this wild man and they 1410 00:44:34,470 --> 00:44:33,200 said it you know just disappeared but 1411 00:44:36,870 --> 00:44:34,480 they didn't know what they're looking at 1412 00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:36,880 they were dumb back then they were naive 1413 00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:38,160 primitive people 1414 00:44:42,790 --> 00:44:41,440 so i i think that's a real failing of 1415 00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:42,800 looking at this stuff through any 1416 00:44:46,550 --> 00:44:44,880 traditional culture well but tim 1417 00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:46,560 i'm very hesitant to try out the word 1418 00:44:50,309 --> 00:44:48,480 racism for everything like it feels like 1419 00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:50,319 it is sometimes but 1420 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:52,560 there is a racist component i think in 1421 00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:54,319 the way that a lot of cryptozoologists 1422 00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:56,079 treat these stories of bigfoot similarly 1423 00:44:59,349 --> 00:44:58,000 to the way that people treat 1424 00:45:01,510 --> 00:44:59,359 the ancient cultures in the ancient 1425 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:01,520 aliens sort of sphere they automatically 1426 00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:02,319 assume that 1427 00:45:05,190 --> 00:45:03,920 you know these people who have this 1428 00:45:07,030 --> 00:45:05,200 better understanding of the natural 1429 00:45:09,829 --> 00:45:07,040 world than we do quite honestly 1430 00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:09,839 couldn't make the cut between the real 1431 00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:11,920 world and the supernatural world 1432 00:45:14,790 --> 00:45:13,040 the idea that oh they must have been 1433 00:45:15,829 --> 00:45:14,800 misinterpreting it you know they're that 1434 00:45:17,750 --> 00:45:15,839 they've been able to 1435 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:17,760 you know machine these stone blocks to 1436 00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:19,119 such precision but when they said that 1437 00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:20,720 this was supernatural no they must have 1438 00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:21,520 been talking about 1439 00:45:24,550 --> 00:45:23,520 spacemen or maybe it was just 1440 00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:24,560 supernatural 1441 00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:26,800 you know so similarly with you know 1442 00:45:30,069 --> 00:45:28,240 native american cultures and 1443 00:45:32,150 --> 00:45:30,079 i did my best when writing this to 1444 00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:32,160 really specifically call tribes by their 1445 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:34,160 specific names to identify their 1446 00:45:38,710 --> 00:45:37,040 beliefs as accurately as i could there's 1447 00:45:39,190 --> 00:45:38,720 a similar problem where you say well 1448 00:45:41,829 --> 00:45:39,200 yeah 1449 00:45:43,430 --> 00:45:41,839 they knew that this deer wasn't you know 1450 00:45:45,589 --> 00:45:43,440 magically phasing in out of dimensions 1451 00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:45,599 but they said that bigfoot was but they 1452 00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:47,280 didn't realize how stealthy bigfoot was 1453 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:48,960 bigfoot's a forest ninja 1454 00:45:52,069 --> 00:45:51,200 it's like or they're telling you exactly 1455 00:45:55,190 --> 00:45:52,079 what was going on 1456 00:45:56,390 --> 00:45:55,200 you know yeah yeah it's so true good 1457 00:45:58,470 --> 00:45:56,400 points guys and 1458 00:45:59,910 --> 00:45:58,480 there is an account in the book that i 1459 00:46:01,349 --> 00:45:59,920 did want to highlight for a couple of 1460 00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:01,359 reasons one it does touch 1461 00:46:05,510 --> 00:46:03,520 on the fact that many native american 1462 00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:05,520 tribes seemed to have found a better 1463 00:46:09,190 --> 00:46:06,720 context for 1464 00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:09,200 bigfoot than we even have today and it's 1465 00:46:12,230 --> 00:46:10,000 in a cave 1466 00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:12,240 and it also comes from the late great 1467 00:46:16,309 --> 00:46:14,480 brad steger you know pour one out in his 1468 00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:16,319 honor brad was the man 1469 00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:19,680 but an 1888 diary 1470 00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:23,119 shared with brad has an entry where the 1471 00:46:27,670 --> 00:46:25,200 diarist observed a tribesman in 1472 00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:27,680 california taking plates of raw meat 1473 00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:28,000 into 1474 00:46:33,829 --> 00:46:31,200 a cave for an enormous docile hairy 1475 00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:33,839 beast the tribesman called crazy bear 1476 00:46:37,750 --> 00:46:36,480 he said it arrived on earth when a quote 1477 00:46:39,990 --> 00:46:37,760 small moon 1478 00:46:41,030 --> 00:46:40,000 piloted by humans descended from the 1479 00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:41,040 stars 1480 00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:44,240 it's like wow that's something i wish we 1481 00:46:47,109 --> 00:46:46,160 could ask a few follow-up questions on 1482 00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:47,119 right 1483 00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:48,800 yeah absolutely but at the same time you 1484 00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:50,480 know it's one of those stories you find 1485 00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:51,920 similar stories throughout 1486 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:53,760 many different tribes describing these 1487 00:46:57,109 --> 00:46:55,200 as being i mean for lack of a better 1488 00:46:58,230 --> 00:46:57,119 term you know extraterrestrial pets or 1489 00:46:59,670 --> 00:46:58,240 what we would probably call 1490 00:47:01,510 --> 00:46:59,680 extraterrestrial pets 1491 00:47:02,790 --> 00:47:01,520 you know it's no no real surprise to 1492 00:47:04,069 --> 00:47:02,800 anybody who's listened to my previous 1493 00:47:07,750 --> 00:47:04,079 interviews on thc 1494 00:47:08,790 --> 00:47:07,760 that i am not especially 1495 00:47:10,550 --> 00:47:08,800 affectionate towards the 1496 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:10,560 extraterrestrial hypothesis so i still 1497 00:47:13,990 --> 00:47:12,319 think that this is probably describing 1498 00:47:15,589 --> 00:47:14,000 in my mind at least where i am right now 1499 00:47:16,630 --> 00:47:15,599 some degree of spirit phenomena but you 1500 00:47:18,630 --> 00:47:16,640 can't 1501 00:47:20,230 --> 00:47:18,640 ignore the fact that a small moon 1502 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:20,240 piloted by people from the stars sounds 1503 00:47:24,470 --> 00:47:22,800 a lot like a spacecraft 1504 00:47:26,069 --> 00:47:24,480 but you'll find that you know these 1505 00:47:26,790 --> 00:47:26,079 different craft described in these 1506 00:47:28,950 --> 00:47:26,800 different tribes 1507 00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:28,960 like these large white birds or these 1508 00:47:33,349 --> 00:47:30,960 large lights that leave these 1509 00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:33,359 giant hairy things behind does that mean 1510 00:47:36,069 --> 00:47:34,480 that you know bigfoot is an 1511 00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:36,079 extraterrestrial scout 1512 00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:37,760 i don't know but there are plenty of 1513 00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:39,440 overlaps with 1514 00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:41,920 sasquatch sightings and what we would 1515 00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:43,680 call the alien abduction experience 1516 00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:45,440 some that i had really no idea were as 1517 00:47:48,549 --> 00:47:47,760 prevalent as they are until i really got 1518 00:47:51,109 --> 00:47:48,559 into it but 1519 00:47:52,549 --> 00:47:51,119 things like livestock mutilation 1520 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:52,559 something that just blew my mind was the 1521 00:47:55,750 --> 00:47:54,160 number of times that people have missing 1522 00:47:56,950 --> 00:47:55,760 time in conjunction with their bigfoot 1523 00:47:59,990 --> 00:47:56,960 sightings you know there was a 1524 00:48:01,030 --> 00:48:00,000 famous podcaster the host of sasquatch 1525 00:48:03,190 --> 00:48:01,040 chronicles 1526 00:48:04,390 --> 00:48:03,200 when he first had his sighting with his 1527 00:48:05,430 --> 00:48:04,400 brother they were convinced that the 1528 00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:05,440 entire thing should have 1529 00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:08,240 maybe at max taking about 40 minutes and 1530 00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:09,520 then they got down the mountain and they 1531 00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:11,520 found out that three hours had elapsed 1532 00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:13,680 which is pretty chilling but completely 1533 00:48:16,790 --> 00:48:15,040 consistent with 1534 00:48:18,790 --> 00:48:16,800 the alien abduction experience and 1535 00:48:19,910 --> 00:48:18,800 before that these visitors to fairyland 1536 00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:19,920 who thought that they were you know 1537 00:48:22,069 --> 00:48:21,520 dancing for three minutes inside a fairy 1538 00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:22,079 circle and 1539 00:48:26,470 --> 00:48:24,319 it actually been three days you find 1540 00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:26,480 these stories of bigfoot missing time 1541 00:48:31,190 --> 00:48:30,160 actually are not as uncommon as one 1542 00:48:32,950 --> 00:48:31,200 would assume 1543 00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:32,960 some people try to explain this away by 1544 00:48:35,510 --> 00:48:34,240 saying oh well when you're under you 1545 00:48:37,670 --> 00:48:35,520 know tense situations 1546 00:48:39,109 --> 00:48:37,680 time seems to speed up but literally 1547 00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:39,119 laboratory experiments on time 1548 00:48:42,309 --> 00:48:41,119 perception show that the exact opposite 1549 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:42,319 is true 1550 00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:43,920 stress actually tends to slow down one's 1551 00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:45,280 perception of time anybody's been in a 1552 00:48:49,829 --> 00:48:46,160 car accident 1553 00:48:53,030 --> 00:48:49,839 can attest to that fact yes well 1554 00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:53,040 man the alien pet hypothesis 1555 00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:55,680 might be my new favorite and you know if 1556 00:48:58,950 --> 00:48:56,480 we were 1557 00:49:00,950 --> 00:48:58,960 engineered as a slave species as some 1558 00:49:01,990 --> 00:49:00,960 people say well these aliens might have 1559 00:49:05,109 --> 00:49:02,000 kept some around 1560 00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:05,119 to run the ships or the program could 1561 00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:07,680 also still be going on 1562 00:49:12,390 --> 00:49:09,760 or or you know maybe when this maybe 1563 00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:12,400 when space bigfoot go feral they lose 1564 00:49:15,030 --> 00:49:13,680 all their hair and they become human 1565 00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:15,040 beings 1566 00:49:18,470 --> 00:49:17,760 who knows right a lot of possibilities 1567 00:49:20,790 --> 00:49:18,480 and 1568 00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:20,800 so here is a question for each of you 1569 00:49:24,790 --> 00:49:23,040 but this book is largely about 1570 00:49:26,309 --> 00:49:24,800 taking this bigfoot research 1571 00:49:28,950 --> 00:49:26,319 conversation forward 1572 00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:28,960 and bucking the same old bigfoot 101 1573 00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:32,240 stuff what would you guys consider to be 1574 00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:35,040 the most cutting edge thoughts and ideas 1575 00:49:41,349 --> 00:49:35,520 on 1576 00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:45,430 oh boy josh 1577 00:49:49,030 --> 00:49:47,680 outside of the alien pet hypothesis of 1578 00:49:52,390 --> 00:49:49,040 course 1579 00:49:54,069 --> 00:49:52,400 yeah i mean there's so much going on 1580 00:49:56,790 --> 00:49:54,079 with this you know from from the idea of 1581 00:49:59,430 --> 00:49:56,800 interdimensional stuff to 1582 00:50:00,630 --> 00:49:59,440 people like ron moorhead who i like a 1583 00:50:03,670 --> 00:50:00,640 great deal and 1584 00:50:04,870 --> 00:50:03,680 he's done some fantastic work but his 1585 00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:04,880 attempts to use 1586 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:07,760 quantum physics to explain how bigfoot 1587 00:50:10,309 --> 00:50:08,079 could 1588 00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:10,319 still be a natural creature and do all 1589 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:12,480 these weird things 1590 00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:14,800 which again ron's done some incredible 1591 00:50:19,190 --> 00:50:15,920 work but i just think 1592 00:50:20,710 --> 00:50:19,200 quantum physics is a little bit deeper i 1593 00:50:23,349 --> 00:50:20,720 think than most people grasp 1594 00:50:25,270 --> 00:50:23,359 and with most people's understanding of 1595 00:50:28,309 --> 00:50:25,280 quantum physics you might as well say 1596 00:50:29,589 --> 00:50:28,319 it's magic josh had a great quote 1597 00:50:31,510 --> 00:50:29,599 that he thought i said which i 1598 00:50:33,270 --> 00:50:31,520 absolutely did not someone said it 1599 00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:33,280 that if you think you understand quantum 1600 00:50:35,430 --> 00:50:34,720 physics you don't understand quantum 1601 00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:35,440 physics 1602 00:50:40,630 --> 00:50:38,720 it's something along those lines but 1603 00:50:42,309 --> 00:50:40,640 we remain very agnostic on these 1604 00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:42,319 different theories because 1605 00:50:48,549 --> 00:50:45,760 at the end of the day we don't know 1606 00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:48,559 the most exciting stuff for me is 1607 00:50:51,349 --> 00:50:49,680 probably 1608 00:50:53,190 --> 00:50:51,359 like what patrick harper is doing with 1609 00:50:55,910 --> 00:50:53,200 the idea of these demons 1610 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:55,920 as he would call it for me it's a little 1611 00:50:59,910 --> 00:50:57,680 bit more young and i guess the wildman 1612 00:51:02,390 --> 00:50:59,920 archetype the idea that 1613 00:51:03,990 --> 00:51:02,400 it's just something other that's always 1614 00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:04,000 been next to us 1615 00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:07,040 and that's probably where i'm going 1616 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:08,880 in the future of the stuff the idea that 1617 00:51:13,109 --> 00:51:10,559 the wildman archetype is 1618 00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:13,119 very exciting to me but who knows maybe 1619 00:51:15,829 --> 00:51:14,640 someday we can get some kind of proof 1620 00:51:17,270 --> 00:51:15,839 that this thing is stepping out of 1621 00:51:18,790 --> 00:51:17,280 another dimension or 1622 00:51:20,309 --> 00:51:18,800 aliens are dropping them off and so 1623 00:51:22,710 --> 00:51:20,319 forth but that's why 1624 00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:22,720 again josh and i remain pretty agnostic 1625 00:51:25,589 --> 00:51:24,480 no point in this book or in volume 2 are 1626 00:51:27,190 --> 00:51:25,599 you going to hear us 1627 00:51:29,190 --> 00:51:27,200 say well bigfoot comes from another 1628 00:51:31,589 --> 00:51:29,200 dimension or a bigfoot is an alien or 1629 00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:31,599 bigfoot is a ghost it's just we're not 1630 00:51:35,829 --> 00:51:33,200 saying that we're just pointing out 1631 00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:35,839 how these things are like how bigfoot 1632 00:51:37,990 --> 00:51:37,440 does act like a ghost or act like a 1633 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:38,000 witch 1634 00:51:44,710 --> 00:51:41,760 etc for me whenever you get people who 1635 00:51:46,150 --> 00:51:44,720 are unafraid of pushing against 1636 00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:46,160 materialist explanations 1637 00:51:49,270 --> 00:51:47,599 that's the route that i want to go down 1638 00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:49,280 because again we mentioned 1639 00:51:53,349 --> 00:51:50,880 ron moorhead who again has done some 1640 00:51:54,870 --> 00:51:53,359 great work but in trying to invoke 1641 00:51:56,630 --> 00:51:54,880 quantum physics he's still playing the 1642 00:51:58,470 --> 00:51:56,640 materialist game which i think that 1643 00:51:59,829 --> 00:51:58,480 i mean you know as somebody who listens 1644 00:52:01,589 --> 00:51:59,839 to thc 1645 00:52:03,750 --> 00:52:01,599 that doesn't cut it anymore trying to 1646 00:52:05,430 --> 00:52:03,760 chase that materialist rabbit 1647 00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:05,440 so for me i think that if you look at 1648 00:52:10,069 --> 00:52:07,280 people who are 1649 00:52:11,109 --> 00:52:10,079 longitudinal long-term experiencers 1650 00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:11,119 those are the 1651 00:52:14,790 --> 00:52:12,480 the people that i find most interesting 1652 00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:14,800 for volume two tim and i both took 1653 00:52:18,230 --> 00:52:17,520 an individual in their particular 1654 00:52:20,230 --> 00:52:18,240 experiences 1655 00:52:22,150 --> 00:52:20,240 as a case study and sort of like laid 1656 00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:22,160 out to people who have had 1657 00:52:26,950 --> 00:52:25,200 basically like the quintessential weird 1658 00:52:28,870 --> 00:52:26,960 bigfoot experiences that tie on all 1659 00:52:30,150 --> 00:52:28,880 sorts of things like you know ufos and 1660 00:52:32,470 --> 00:52:30,160 portals and the dead and 1661 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:32,480 telepathy and all these things and i 1662 00:52:37,190 --> 00:52:35,040 think that that's really where for me 1663 00:52:38,470 --> 00:52:37,200 this research should be going that's the 1664 00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:38,480 next frontier 1665 00:52:42,069 --> 00:52:40,880 having said that there's a growing 1666 00:52:45,670 --> 00:52:42,079 acceptance of using 1667 00:52:49,030 --> 00:52:45,680 voice box or spirit box or ghost box 1668 00:52:51,190 --> 00:52:49,040 devices in bigfoot research and they're 1669 00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:51,200 getting some interesting results of that 1670 00:52:53,349 --> 00:52:52,800 sort of being a way to communicate with 1671 00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:53,359 something 1672 00:52:57,349 --> 00:52:55,839 that sometimes says it's bigfoot is it i 1673 00:52:58,710 --> 00:52:57,359 don't know i mean as tim pointed out one 1674 00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:58,720 time you know that could be your 1675 00:53:01,990 --> 00:53:00,240 subconscious saying 1676 00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:02,000 that it's bigfoot you could be you could 1677 00:53:06,470 --> 00:53:04,240 be the one manifesting that yourself 1678 00:53:07,990 --> 00:53:06,480 so yeah but i think that thinking about 1679 00:53:10,630 --> 00:53:08,000 these things obliquely 1680 00:53:11,510 --> 00:53:10,640 and drawing on tools from other 1681 00:53:14,150 --> 00:53:11,520 disciplines like 1682 00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:14,160 ghost hunting i think is probably going 1683 00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:14,800 to yield 1684 00:53:19,109 --> 00:53:17,760 more successful results than a lot of 1685 00:53:22,390 --> 00:53:19,119 people who are tied up in the flesh and 1686 00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:22,400 blood hypothesis would like to admit 1687 00:53:25,670 --> 00:53:24,240 i like both those answers yeah maybe it 1688 00:53:28,630 --> 00:53:25,680 is just being 1689 00:53:30,390 --> 00:53:28,640 unbiased and open to all possibilities 1690 00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:30,400 and taking an honest look 1691 00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:34,079 at the comparison to wider paranormal 1692 00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:35,040 themes and just 1693 00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:37,280 not trying to force anything to fit but 1694 00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:39,760 being honest about things that do 1695 00:53:43,589 --> 00:53:42,480 yeah i mean you know i used to say maybe 1696 00:53:46,150 --> 00:53:43,599 they'll roll a body 1697 00:53:47,430 --> 00:53:46,160 into a lab one day and my job will 1698 00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,440 become easier 1699 00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:49,440 but i've adjusted that way of thinking 1700 00:53:52,950 --> 00:53:51,440 because even if they roll a body in a 1701 00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:52,960 lab one day we still have a lot to 1702 00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:53,520 explain 1703 00:53:57,030 --> 00:53:55,200 why do these weird lights pop up around 1704 00:53:58,150 --> 00:53:57,040 this thing that you've now rolled a body 1705 00:53:59,430 --> 00:53:58,160 into a lab 1706 00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:59,440 i don't have a lot of confidence that 1707 00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:01,440 that's ever going to happen because 1708 00:54:05,190 --> 00:54:04,000 as i get into in volume 2 there's been 1709 00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:05,200 many many people who've 1710 00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:07,760 claimed to have capture or killed one of 1711 00:54:12,069 --> 00:54:09,359 these creatures over the years and 1712 00:54:13,109 --> 00:54:12,079 without exception 100 of the time the 1713 00:54:14,710 --> 00:54:13,119 bodies are gone 1714 00:54:16,630 --> 00:54:14,720 they're missing they're unavailable to 1715 00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:16,640 us whether it's 1716 00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:18,240 they're taken back by the creatures 1717 00:54:21,910 --> 00:54:20,000 supposedly you know 1718 00:54:23,990 --> 00:54:21,920 and buried or whatever bigfoot is 1719 00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:24,000 supposed to do with their dead or a 1720 00:54:27,829 --> 00:54:26,160 mysterious black van pulls up and 1721 00:54:29,270 --> 00:54:27,839 takes the body away or you know a 1722 00:54:31,109 --> 00:54:29,280 spaceship comes and 1723 00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:31,119 levitates the body into a ufo or 1724 00:54:34,390 --> 00:54:32,880 whatever whatever the case however they 1725 00:54:37,030 --> 00:54:34,400 disappear it doesn't matter 1726 00:54:38,789 --> 00:54:37,040 the bodies are gone 100 of them are gone 1727 00:54:40,470 --> 00:54:38,799 so i don't have any real 1728 00:54:42,789 --> 00:54:40,480 confidence that we're ever going to have 1729 00:54:44,470 --> 00:54:42,799 a body at least not for any significant 1730 00:54:47,270 --> 00:54:44,480 amount of time 1731 00:54:48,390 --> 00:54:47,280 i agree with you i do get the sense that 1732 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,400 there is 1733 00:54:52,470 --> 00:54:50,400 something bleeding in from another 1734 00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:52,480 dimension of some sorts and 1735 00:54:57,270 --> 00:54:55,440 sometimes the window can close and 1736 00:54:58,069 --> 00:54:57,280 something can get stuck here but i feel 1737 00:55:00,549 --> 00:54:58,079 like there's an 1738 00:55:01,109 --> 00:55:00,559 agency of some kind maybe a paranormal 1739 00:55:04,630 --> 00:55:01,119 one 1740 00:55:07,190 --> 00:55:04,640 that very closely monitors 1741 00:55:08,710 --> 00:55:07,200 when stuff does get stuck here or maybe 1742 00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:08,720 it dissipates on its own 1743 00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:10,400 but we do have these visitations from 1744 00:55:13,190 --> 00:55:12,720 mib kind of people that suggest to me 1745 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:13,200 that 1746 00:55:16,789 --> 00:55:15,280 they're very much like okay what did you 1747 00:55:18,150 --> 00:55:16,799 see and where is it 1748 00:55:19,589 --> 00:55:18,160 like what are you what are your 1749 00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:19,599 conclusions here are you going to be 1750 00:55:22,069 --> 00:55:20,000 talking 1751 00:55:24,470 --> 00:55:22,079 about this a lot you know that kind of 1752 00:55:26,309 --> 00:55:24,480 stuff it seems very heavily managed 1753 00:55:28,789 --> 00:55:26,319 the bigfoot world has a man in black 1754 00:55:31,109 --> 00:55:28,799 analog in the form of these two fellas 1755 00:55:32,390 --> 00:55:31,119 that claim to be from either the 1756 00:55:34,230 --> 00:55:32,400 department of the interior 1757 00:55:36,390 --> 00:55:34,240 or another government organization that 1758 00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:36,400 tend to show up it's the same two guys 1759 00:55:38,230 --> 00:55:37,680 that show up all over the country and 1760 00:55:41,109 --> 00:55:38,240 have been 1761 00:55:42,230 --> 00:55:41,119 for years one is a very large fellow 1762 00:55:44,950 --> 00:55:42,240 they describe him as 1763 00:55:45,589 --> 00:55:44,960 six foot nine or taller big biker 1764 00:55:48,789 --> 00:55:45,599 looking guy 1765 00:55:50,630 --> 00:55:48,799 in a flannel shirt and another guy in a 1766 00:55:52,630 --> 00:55:50,640 suit they tend to show up and 1767 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:52,640 sort of act as the bigfoot world's men 1768 00:55:57,190 --> 00:55:54,960 in black i get into this in volume two 1769 00:55:58,069 --> 00:55:57,200 but there's a problem with evidence in 1770 00:56:00,549 --> 00:55:58,079 general 1771 00:56:02,230 --> 00:56:00,559 in that our best evidence for bigfoot 1772 00:56:02,950 --> 00:56:02,240 and it's very good if you look at the 1773 00:56:04,710 --> 00:56:02,960 footprints 1774 00:56:06,710 --> 00:56:04,720 especially with the work like jeff 1775 00:56:09,030 --> 00:56:06,720 meldrum has done 1776 00:56:10,150 --> 00:56:09,040 these are really really good casts of 1777 00:56:11,750 --> 00:56:10,160 footprints some of them 1778 00:56:12,950 --> 00:56:11,760 not all of them but some of them are 1779 00:56:14,549 --> 00:56:12,960 very very good and they show dermal 1780 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:14,559 ridges and metatarsal breaks and all 1781 00:56:18,069 --> 00:56:15,119 this 1782 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:18,079 anatomy that you know jeff meldrum as 1783 00:56:21,190 --> 00:56:19,680 someone who specializes in like 1784 00:56:22,870 --> 00:56:21,200 primate looking motion and primate foot 1785 00:56:24,390 --> 00:56:22,880 anatomy and so forth he can look at 1786 00:56:26,470 --> 00:56:24,400 these cats and say like yes 1787 00:56:27,510 --> 00:56:26,480 something alive left this footprint and 1788 00:56:29,750 --> 00:56:27,520 here's why 1789 00:56:31,190 --> 00:56:29,760 here's all these great details that you 1790 00:56:33,510 --> 00:56:31,200 know unless you're an expert on his 1791 00:56:37,109 --> 00:56:33,520 level you'd never be able to fake 1792 00:56:39,030 --> 00:56:37,119 but in terms of and i always 1793 00:56:40,870 --> 00:56:39,040 frame this in terms of saints relics 1794 00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:40,880 because it's just easier to understand 1795 00:56:44,309 --> 00:56:42,799 so if you have a fingernail or a piece 1796 00:56:44,789 --> 00:56:44,319 of hair from a saint that's a primary 1797 00:56:46,950 --> 00:56:44,799 relic 1798 00:56:47,829 --> 00:56:46,960 that came from the saints body if you 1799 00:56:50,710 --> 00:56:47,839 have you know 1800 00:56:52,069 --> 00:56:50,720 a piece of the saints prayer cloth or 1801 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:52,079 something the saint touched 1802 00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:55,040 that's a secondary relic of a saint so 1803 00:56:57,990 --> 00:56:56,960 the best we have for bigfoot the best 1804 00:57:01,510 --> 00:56:58,000 evidence of these 1805 00:57:03,430 --> 00:57:01,520 casts and they're all secondary relics 1806 00:57:05,589 --> 00:57:03,440 any kind of primary relic we have from 1807 00:57:07,829 --> 00:57:05,599 bigfoot whether it's hair samples blood 1808 00:57:10,549 --> 00:57:07,839 samples all this dna evidence 1809 00:57:12,230 --> 00:57:10,559 always always always is contested never 1810 00:57:12,630 --> 00:57:12,240 is there one case where somebody has a 1811 00:57:14,470 --> 00:57:12,640 hair 1812 00:57:16,150 --> 00:57:14,480 that you can get experts to line up on 1813 00:57:17,829 --> 00:57:16,160 and say yes this is a hair from a 1814 00:57:18,870 --> 00:57:17,839 bigfoot you will get experts to line up 1815 00:57:20,630 --> 00:57:18,880 on both sides 1816 00:57:21,990 --> 00:57:20,640 yes this is something strange oh no this 1817 00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:22,000 is something you know perfectly 1818 00:57:25,829 --> 00:57:22,960 explainable 1819 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:25,839 same with the dna evidence the dna tests 1820 00:57:29,109 --> 00:57:26,640 have been 1821 00:57:29,990 --> 00:57:29,119 all over the place the one that melba 1822 00:57:32,069 --> 00:57:30,000 ketchum did was 1823 00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:32,079 absolutely flawed if you look at other 1824 00:57:37,670 --> 00:57:34,000 dna experts 1825 00:57:40,309 --> 00:57:37,680 the test that brian sykes did in the uk 1826 00:57:42,789 --> 00:57:40,319 was problematic as well if you ask the 1827 00:57:44,549 --> 00:57:42,799 people who sent the samples and so forth 1828 00:57:46,549 --> 00:57:44,559 and a lot of people don't believe his 1829 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:46,559 results again this is just this 1830 00:57:50,069 --> 00:57:48,720 mess of people lining up on both sides 1831 00:57:51,829 --> 00:57:50,079 expert and layman 1832 00:57:55,030 --> 00:57:51,839 saying you know this physical evidence 1833 00:57:57,990 --> 00:57:55,040 is real no it's not etcetera etcetera so 1834 00:57:59,829 --> 00:57:58,000 there's primary relics there's really 1835 00:58:01,349 --> 00:57:59,839 nothing that we can agree on 1836 00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:01,359 there's hairs out there that people say 1837 00:58:04,870 --> 00:58:02,960 yeah this is a bigfoot hair but no you 1838 00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:04,880 can't get experts to agree that 1839 00:58:07,990 --> 00:58:06,240 or at least agree that it you know it 1840 00:58:09,589 --> 00:58:08,000 actually came from a bigfoot the best 1841 00:58:11,270 --> 00:58:09,599 you might get is like yeah we don't know 1842 00:58:11,589 --> 00:58:11,280 what this is whatever this is we don't 1843 00:58:13,910 --> 00:58:11,599 know 1844 00:58:15,510 --> 00:58:13,920 what it is but that's a problem with 1845 00:58:16,230 --> 00:58:15,520 bigfoot evidence you know our best 1846 00:58:19,030 --> 00:58:16,240 evidence is 1847 00:58:20,710 --> 00:58:19,040 secondary realms i like the relics 1848 00:58:23,510 --> 00:58:20,720 analogy because 1849 00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:23,520 and i sometimes think that it is similar 1850 00:58:27,910 --> 00:58:25,760 to the placebo effect where 1851 00:58:29,670 --> 00:58:27,920 we have the ability subconsciously 1852 00:58:31,030 --> 00:58:29,680 probably to do all kinds of stuff but we 1853 00:58:33,109 --> 00:58:31,040 need to 1854 00:58:34,470 --> 00:58:33,119 put it on something else so you know you 1855 00:58:36,549 --> 00:58:34,480 take a pill and then 1856 00:58:37,990 --> 00:58:36,559 you're like oh that pill healed me when 1857 00:58:39,430 --> 00:58:38,000 really it was just a sugar pill 1858 00:58:41,589 --> 00:58:39,440 obviously we all know what the placebo 1859 00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:41,599 effect is but similarly 1860 00:58:45,430 --> 00:58:43,200 there could be artifacts where it's like 1861 00:58:46,710 --> 00:58:45,440 oh this is the spear that pierced 1862 00:58:48,950 --> 00:58:46,720 christ's side 1863 00:58:50,789 --> 00:58:48,960 and someone with a lot of religious 1864 00:58:52,630 --> 00:58:50,799 conviction could touch that 1865 00:58:55,030 --> 00:58:52,640 and then all of a sudden have a 1866 00:58:56,309 --> 00:58:55,040 spontaneous experience an ecstatic 1867 00:58:58,870 --> 00:58:56,319 experience or 1868 00:58:59,349 --> 00:58:58,880 have a healing happen or something like 1869 00:59:01,589 --> 00:58:59,359 that 1870 00:59:03,349 --> 00:59:01,599 and sometimes these artifacts do turn 1871 00:59:06,309 --> 00:59:03,359 out to be fraudulent 1872 00:59:07,990 --> 00:59:06,319 but yet they still have insane effects i 1873 00:59:08,549 --> 00:59:08,000 find that interesting i think it makes 1874 00:59:10,390 --> 00:59:08,559 it 1875 00:59:12,309 --> 00:59:10,400 i think that's a clue that the 1876 00:59:13,829 --> 00:59:12,319 consciousness of the individual is a key 1877 00:59:16,309 --> 00:59:13,839 component here 1878 00:59:17,750 --> 00:59:16,319 absolutely you know it's funny on at 1879 00:59:19,670 --> 00:59:17,760 least one of our other interviews 1880 00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:19,680 some commenters came in and were like 1881 00:59:24,710 --> 00:59:22,160 jungian archetypes this is silly 1882 00:59:26,789 --> 00:59:24,720 and honestly it's not that we're saying 1883 00:59:28,950 --> 00:59:26,799 this stuff is made up 1884 00:59:30,309 --> 00:59:28,960 but it can also be you know generated 1885 00:59:32,549 --> 00:59:30,319 internally 1886 00:59:34,230 --> 00:59:32,559 and also be real you know similarly i 1887 00:59:35,349 --> 00:59:34,240 got some pushback in one of my talks for 1888 00:59:37,829 --> 00:59:35,359 discussing 1889 00:59:38,470 --> 00:59:37,839 you know a lot of these bits of physical 1890 00:59:40,069 --> 00:59:38,480 evidence 1891 00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:40,079 and then saying well bigfoot might not 1892 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:41,280 be a flesh and blood creature they're 1893 00:59:45,109 --> 00:59:42,640 like well how does it leave hair 1894 00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:45,119 and how does it leave blood and scat and 1895 00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:46,720 footprints and i said well if you 1896 00:59:49,990 --> 00:59:48,240 look at you know the parapsychological 1897 00:59:50,789 --> 00:59:50,000 literature i think we can all agree that 1898 00:59:53,510 --> 00:59:50,799 ghosts 1899 00:59:55,190 --> 00:59:53,520 are not tangible and physical yet if 1900 00:59:56,789 --> 00:59:55,200 ghosts do exist they apparently can 1901 00:59:58,309 --> 00:59:56,799 interact with the physical world just 1902 01:00:00,630 --> 00:59:58,319 fine they can leave behind 1903 01:00:01,910 --> 01:00:00,640 handprints and writing on walls and 1904 01:00:03,589 --> 01:00:01,920 slamming doors 1905 01:00:06,309 --> 01:00:03,599 similarly if you look at psy phenomena 1906 01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:06,319 that's entirely internally generated 1907 01:00:09,589 --> 01:00:07,680 but can also have an impact on the 1908 01:00:12,549 --> 01:00:09,599 physical world as well so i think that 1909 01:00:13,430 --> 01:00:12,559 people need to sort of i would encourage 1910 01:00:14,470 --> 01:00:13,440 people who are interested in these 1911 01:00:18,230 --> 01:00:14,480 topics to stop 1912 01:00:20,069 --> 01:00:18,240 thinking about things as this false 1913 01:00:21,990 --> 01:00:20,079 dichotomy of real or not real or 1914 01:00:24,630 --> 01:00:22,000 physical or you know non-physical 1915 01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:24,640 and i think that your very astute point 1916 01:00:28,390 --> 01:00:26,240 about comparing 1917 01:00:31,270 --> 01:00:28,400 the revelations that people have when 1918 01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:31,280 encountering relics of any sort of 1919 01:00:35,510 --> 01:00:33,760 numinous origin comparing that to the 1920 01:00:37,190 --> 01:00:35,520 placebo effect i think is very astute in 1921 01:00:39,910 --> 01:00:37,200 the in terms of the fact that 1922 01:00:41,750 --> 01:00:39,920 something about us plays a very strong 1923 01:00:43,270 --> 01:00:41,760 role in these encounters and if that so 1924 01:00:45,910 --> 01:00:43,280 happens to mean that inside of us 1925 01:00:46,630 --> 01:00:45,920 we each have a wild man waiting to get 1926 01:00:48,630 --> 01:00:46,640 out 1927 01:00:50,470 --> 01:00:48,640 and you know we project that into the 1928 01:00:52,789 --> 01:00:50,480 woods and that's what we end up seeing 1929 01:00:56,069 --> 01:00:52,799 maybe that's it i mean all i know is 1930 01:00:57,349 --> 01:00:56,079 that you know what is it now 70 years at 1931 01:00:59,030 --> 01:00:57,359 least in this country in terms of 1932 01:01:01,990 --> 01:00:59,040 popular culture 1933 01:01:02,549 --> 01:01:02,000 70 plus ish years of trying to prove 1934 01:01:04,789 --> 01:01:02,559 this thing 1935 01:01:07,190 --> 01:01:04,799 as a large hairy hominid really hasn't 1936 01:01:10,230 --> 01:01:07,200 gotten much of anywhere 1937 01:01:11,589 --> 01:01:10,240 yes well said and as we're kind of 1938 01:01:12,069 --> 01:01:11,599 getting to the end of the road here i 1939 01:01:14,069 --> 01:01:12,079 figured 1940 01:01:16,230 --> 01:01:14,079 maybe we could close this out by all 1941 01:01:19,109 --> 01:01:16,240 giving a favorite story 1942 01:01:21,030 --> 01:01:19,119 of some sort i would probably pull this 1943 01:01:22,470 --> 01:01:21,040 one from your short section on healing 1944 01:01:25,510 --> 01:01:22,480 and spirituality 1945 01:01:27,910 --> 01:01:25,520 i love this story it says uh 1946 01:01:28,950 --> 01:01:27,920 yakima indian fire guard told 1947 01:01:32,309 --> 01:01:28,960 investigator 1948 01:01:33,030 --> 01:01:32,319 w.j vogel that quote a large man with 1949 01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:33,040 red eyes 1950 01:01:37,190 --> 01:01:35,280 came to live with the tribe whenever any 1951 01:01:38,069 --> 01:01:37,200 of the indian people became sick he 1952 01:01:40,309 --> 01:01:38,079 would heal them 1953 01:01:41,349 --> 01:01:40,319 when the large hominid noticed his own 1954 01:01:43,349 --> 01:01:41,359 health failing 1955 01:01:45,510 --> 01:01:43,359 he asked the tribe to take him to a 1956 01:01:47,510 --> 01:01:45,520 specific location where he died 1957 01:01:48,710 --> 01:01:47,520 and a large flying object came down from 1958 01:01:51,270 --> 01:01:48,720 the skies 1959 01:01:52,069 --> 01:01:51,280 put his body on board and flew off into 1960 01:01:55,430 --> 01:01:52,079 the sky 1961 01:01:57,750 --> 01:01:55,440 i mean wow again what the hell that's a 1962 01:02:00,549 --> 01:01:57,760 a pretty fun one but do you guys have 1963 01:02:01,750 --> 01:02:00,559 personal favorites we haven't touched on 1964 01:02:03,589 --> 01:02:01,760 i kind of want to talk about eight 1965 01:02:04,470 --> 01:02:03,599 canyon but tim that's kind of your thing 1966 01:02:05,910 --> 01:02:04,480 if you want to 1967 01:02:07,670 --> 01:02:05,920 if you if you don't want to use that as 1968 01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:07,680 an example i'll i'll use a king and it's 1969 01:02:12,870 --> 01:02:09,680 go ahead you take eight 1970 01:02:13,510 --> 01:02:12,880 so for anyone who isn't aware ape canyon 1971 01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:13,520 is a 1972 01:02:18,710 --> 01:02:16,960 very famous encounter with bigfoot 1924 1973 01:02:20,470 --> 01:02:18,720 near mount st helens 1974 01:02:22,309 --> 01:02:20,480 the short version that you get and it 1975 01:02:23,670 --> 01:02:22,319 occurs in a lot of bigfoot literature 1976 01:02:26,710 --> 01:02:23,680 especially flesh and blood 1977 01:02:28,549 --> 01:02:26,720 literature is that beck 1978 01:02:30,630 --> 01:02:28,559 and several other minors were trapped in 1979 01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:30,640 this cabin 1980 01:02:35,190 --> 01:02:33,760 in the mountains and they were basically 1981 01:02:37,829 --> 01:02:35,200 assaulted 1982 01:02:39,430 --> 01:02:37,839 under siege by these large hairy 1983 01:02:40,710 --> 01:02:39,440 creatures that were throwing boulders at 1984 01:02:43,430 --> 01:02:40,720 the cabin 1985 01:02:44,710 --> 01:02:43,440 if you sort of unpack vex account it 1986 01:02:45,990 --> 01:02:44,720 seems like maybe it was just throwing 1987 01:02:47,190 --> 01:02:46,000 rocks at the cabin but 1988 01:02:49,109 --> 01:02:47,200 the other thing that's interesting is 1989 01:02:50,630 --> 01:02:49,119 that it's another classic example of 1990 01:02:52,470 --> 01:02:50,640 this weird washing that we see time and 1991 01:02:56,150 --> 01:02:52,480 again 1992 01:02:58,069 --> 01:02:56,160 so people tend to focus on that bigfoot 1993 01:02:59,270 --> 01:02:58,079 assault but what they don't talk about 1994 01:03:01,589 --> 01:02:59,280 is the fact that 1995 01:03:02,630 --> 01:03:01,599 the miners were led to their claim by a 1996 01:03:05,990 --> 01:03:02,640 white arrow 1997 01:03:09,510 --> 01:03:06,000 in the sky they don't talk about the 1998 01:03:12,150 --> 01:03:09,520 fact that among the sort of 1999 01:03:12,549 --> 01:03:12,160 spirit guides that they encountered one 2000 01:03:17,190 --> 01:03:12,559 was 2001 01:03:18,150 --> 01:03:17,200 a female entity that is not described 2002 01:03:20,150 --> 01:03:18,160 but is named 2003 01:03:22,309 --> 01:03:20,160 vander white so you have that lady in 2004 01:03:23,670 --> 01:03:22,319 white connection there as well 2005 01:03:25,829 --> 01:03:23,680 which they actually ended up naming the 2006 01:03:28,870 --> 01:03:25,839 mining claim after the vander white 2007 01:03:30,390 --> 01:03:28,880 mining claim but even curiouser people 2008 01:03:31,109 --> 01:03:30,400 don't tend to talk about that just 2009 01:03:34,470 --> 01:03:31,119 before 2010 01:03:36,150 --> 01:03:34,480 their attack from the bigfoot that 2011 01:03:38,069 --> 01:03:36,160 several of the miners actually saw a 2012 01:03:39,829 --> 01:03:38,079 pair of footprints 2013 01:03:41,750 --> 01:03:39,839 pair of large bigfoot footprints on a 2014 01:03:43,829 --> 01:03:41,760 sandbar that was 2015 01:03:44,789 --> 01:03:43,839 what was it a hundred feet from the 2016 01:03:46,470 --> 01:03:44,799 nearest shore 2017 01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:46,480 i think they said it was at least i 2018 01:03:49,029 --> 01:03:47,760 think it was in the middle of an acre 2019 01:03:51,190 --> 01:03:49,039 wide sandbar they said 2020 01:03:52,390 --> 01:03:51,200 so a huge sample and the quote was that 2021 01:03:53,589 --> 01:03:52,400 you know it almost looked as if 2022 01:03:56,309 --> 01:03:53,599 something dropped something 2023 01:03:58,150 --> 01:03:56,319 down and then picked it back up and then 2024 01:03:59,510 --> 01:03:58,160 you know people don't tend to address 2025 01:04:01,190 --> 01:03:59,520 the fact that 2026 01:04:02,710 --> 01:04:01,200 there were reports that occurred during 2027 01:04:04,069 --> 01:04:02,720 the ape canyon sighting as well 2028 01:04:05,750 --> 01:04:04,079 literally a pencil appeared in 2029 01:04:07,589 --> 01:04:05,760 fredbeck's hand 2030 01:04:08,950 --> 01:04:07,599 now some people have liked to sort of 2031 01:04:10,870 --> 01:04:08,960 criticize fredbeck 2032 01:04:12,150 --> 01:04:10,880 because even though he is the primary 2033 01:04:14,870 --> 01:04:12,160 witness 2034 01:04:16,710 --> 01:04:14,880 of the encounter he had a long-standing 2035 01:04:19,510 --> 01:04:16,720 history of being involved and 2036 01:04:20,710 --> 01:04:19,520 being interested in the paranormal but 2037 01:04:21,589 --> 01:04:20,720 at the same time if you believe 2038 01:04:23,349 --> 01:04:21,599 witnesses you've got to believe 2039 01:04:26,390 --> 01:04:23,359 witnesses and fredbeck 2040 01:04:27,029 --> 01:04:26,400 never once assumed that these were giant 2041 01:04:28,150 --> 01:04:27,039 monkey men 2042 01:04:30,069 --> 01:04:28,160 he always assumed that these were 2043 01:04:33,510 --> 01:04:30,079 somehow some type 2044 01:04:35,670 --> 01:04:33,520 of entity that had one foot in our world 2045 01:04:37,990 --> 01:04:35,680 and one foot in the other world as well 2046 01:04:39,510 --> 01:04:38,000 it's amazing to me that this eight 2047 01:04:42,150 --> 01:04:39,520 canyon story gets so 2048 01:04:43,990 --> 01:04:42,160 sanitized and that there's all this real 2049 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:44,000 absolute high strangeness that surrounds 2050 01:04:46,710 --> 01:04:45,359 the encounter that people just don't 2051 01:04:48,870 --> 01:04:46,720 tend to talk about because it doesn't 2052 01:04:50,710 --> 01:04:48,880 fit their pre-existing hypothesis that 2053 01:04:53,109 --> 01:04:50,720 we're dealing with a large relic hairy 2054 01:04:53,670 --> 01:04:53,119 hominid so i have a real soft spot let's 2055 01:04:56,250 --> 01:04:53,680 say 2056 01:04:57,510 --> 01:04:56,260 that i nurture for the a canyon case 2057 01:04:59,510 --> 01:04:57,520 [Music] 2058 01:05:01,270 --> 01:04:59,520 yeah i'm really glad that was the one 2059 01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:01,280 you chose because that is 2060 01:05:05,589 --> 01:05:03,760 one of the rare stories you could bring 2061 01:05:07,029 --> 01:05:05,599 up where i actually have some context 2062 01:05:08,069 --> 01:05:07,039 because when i was up there in 2063 01:05:09,990 --> 01:05:08,079 washington 2064 01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:10,000 you know ape canyon butts up against 2065 01:05:15,750 --> 01:05:12,480 what they call ape cave which is a 2066 01:05:16,950 --> 01:05:15,760 12 000 foot long lava tube i think it's 2067 01:05:19,670 --> 01:05:16,960 the largest 2068 01:05:20,789 --> 01:05:19,680 known lava tube in the united states and 2069 01:05:23,190 --> 01:05:20,799 i have walked it 2070 01:05:25,109 --> 01:05:23,200 nice and it is the longest underground 2071 01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:25,119 walk i've ever had actually i think it's 2072 01:05:27,510 --> 01:05:26,799 the only underground walk i've ever 2073 01:05:29,510 --> 01:05:27,520 taken but 2074 01:05:31,990 --> 01:05:29,520 the whole time you can see these little 2075 01:05:34,390 --> 01:05:32,000 ridges and it's like i could almost see 2076 01:05:34,710 --> 01:05:34,400 in my mind's eye some bigfoot staring at 2077 01:05:36,950 --> 01:05:34,720 me 2078 01:05:38,549 --> 01:05:36,960 it was a pretty cool experience but i 2079 01:05:39,910 --> 01:05:38,559 didn't know that added context about the 2080 01:05:41,589 --> 01:05:39,920 story either i only really knew about 2081 01:05:43,589 --> 01:05:41,599 them throwing the rocks against the 2082 01:05:45,990 --> 01:05:43,599 cabin and stuff like that so 2083 01:05:47,430 --> 01:05:46,000 yeah that is definitely interesting and 2084 01:05:50,789 --> 01:05:47,440 it is a place where 2085 01:05:53,270 --> 01:05:50,799 it does seem like a perfect setting 2086 01:05:54,710 --> 01:05:53,280 for some kind of paranormal experience 2087 01:05:55,829 --> 01:05:54,720 of course now there's so many people 2088 01:05:58,150 --> 01:05:55,839 going up and down 2089 01:05:58,870 --> 01:05:58,160 the cave that you know it's not quite 2090 01:06:00,230 --> 01:05:58,880 enough to 2091 01:06:01,430 --> 01:06:00,240 really see anything or have an 2092 01:06:02,309 --> 01:06:01,440 experience like that but it could be a 2093 01:06:04,150 --> 01:06:02,319 window area 2094 01:06:05,670 --> 01:06:04,160 i definitely like that story but tim 2095 01:06:07,910 --> 01:06:05,680 what you got 2096 01:06:08,789 --> 01:06:07,920 well it's so hard to pick one story i 2097 01:06:10,549 --> 01:06:08,799 mean 2098 01:06:12,150 --> 01:06:10,559 the opening story is a favorite 2099 01:06:14,230 --> 01:06:12,160 obviously the one we talked about 2100 01:06:15,910 --> 01:06:14,240 the fayette county pennsylvania story we 2101 01:06:18,870 --> 01:06:15,920 talked about the beginning 2102 01:06:20,549 --> 01:06:18,880 and in general one of my favorite 2103 01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:20,559 sections to write was 2104 01:06:24,309 --> 01:06:22,720 the christmas time of the wild men 2105 01:06:27,029 --> 01:06:24,319 section where i talk about 2106 01:06:28,710 --> 01:06:27,039 all of the correlations between the wild 2107 01:06:30,870 --> 01:06:28,720 man phenomenon these various christmas 2108 01:06:34,309 --> 01:06:30,880 wild men we have from krampus to 2109 01:06:36,069 --> 01:06:34,319 belsnickel and so forth but if i'm just 2110 01:06:38,390 --> 01:06:36,079 going to talk about one story 2111 01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:38,400 there was one that was pretty incredible 2112 01:06:43,029 --> 01:06:40,000 it was a guy named rick 2113 01:06:45,990 --> 01:06:43,039 who he appeared on a podcast called the 2114 01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:46,000 cryptid brothers investigation 2115 01:06:49,190 --> 01:06:47,599 his encounter took place in woodville 2116 01:06:52,069 --> 01:06:49,200 texas in 1978 2117 01:06:53,430 --> 01:06:52,079 he was driving about 2 30 in the morning 2118 01:06:54,470 --> 01:06:53,440 he comes up over a hill and he hits 2119 01:06:56,230 --> 01:06:54,480 something 2120 01:06:57,910 --> 01:06:56,240 and he just spun his truck around 2121 01:06:59,510 --> 01:06:57,920 whatever it was so big it actually like 2122 01:07:01,029 --> 01:06:59,520 spun his pickup truck around 2123 01:07:03,270 --> 01:07:01,039 he gets out of the truck and he thinks 2124 01:07:05,029 --> 01:07:03,280 it's somebody in a halloween costume 2125 01:07:06,870 --> 01:07:05,039 and he's thinking what have i done and 2126 01:07:08,390 --> 01:07:06,880 and this 2127 01:07:09,829 --> 01:07:08,400 thing that he thinks is the person at 2128 01:07:11,349 --> 01:07:09,839 first is just you know sitting on the 2129 01:07:12,230 --> 01:07:11,359 roadside kind of moaning i think he said 2130 01:07:15,430 --> 01:07:12,240 it had part of his 2131 01:07:15,910 --> 01:07:15,440 grill stuck in its leg he ends up 2132 01:07:19,430 --> 01:07:15,920 walking 2133 01:07:22,390 --> 01:07:19,440 up to it and figuring out that it's this 2134 01:07:25,750 --> 01:07:22,400 bigfoot creature it's a female 2135 01:07:27,750 --> 01:07:25,760 and he ends up using his belt to put a 2136 01:07:30,069 --> 01:07:27,760 tourniquet on its leg and 2137 01:07:31,670 --> 01:07:30,079 you know motions that it's going to hurt 2138 01:07:33,670 --> 01:07:31,680 to take this piece of the 2139 01:07:34,789 --> 01:07:33,680 truck grill out of its leg and 2140 01:07:36,150 --> 01:07:34,799 apparently does and 2141 01:07:37,589 --> 01:07:36,160 he says there's a male bigfoot that 2142 01:07:38,390 --> 01:07:37,599 comes up behind him that thinks he's 2143 01:07:41,190 --> 01:07:38,400 hurting her and 2144 01:07:43,829 --> 01:07:41,200 she warns the male off and somehow in 2145 01:07:46,069 --> 01:07:43,839 bigfoot language tells him it's okay 2146 01:07:47,670 --> 01:07:46,079 and while he's doing this while he's 2147 01:07:49,029 --> 01:07:47,680 supposedly helping this bigfoot creature 2148 01:07:49,750 --> 01:07:49,039 he's a catholic he's got a crucifix 2149 01:07:52,710 --> 01:07:49,760 around his neck 2150 01:07:54,710 --> 01:07:52,720 and she grabs this crucifix and says 2151 01:07:56,549 --> 01:07:54,720 gulaka gulaka 2152 01:07:57,829 --> 01:07:56,559 and he somehow gets the impression that 2153 01:07:59,829 --> 01:07:57,839 she wants it 2154 01:08:01,910 --> 01:07:59,839 so he said he takes it off and he has 2155 01:08:03,349 --> 01:08:01,920 that and a chain and like another chain 2156 01:08:04,069 --> 01:08:03,359 he puts these two chains together to 2157 01:08:06,069 --> 01:08:04,079 make it 2158 01:08:07,430 --> 01:08:06,079 big enough to put over the bigfoot's 2159 01:08:09,109 --> 01:08:07,440 head and 2160 01:08:10,549 --> 01:08:09,119 you know drapes this crucifix over her 2161 01:08:12,470 --> 01:08:10,559 head and she holds it and points to the 2162 01:08:14,309 --> 01:08:12,480 sky and says gulaka gulakka and he says 2163 01:08:17,269 --> 01:08:14,319 no no no jesus christ 2164 01:08:18,390 --> 01:08:17,279 and he said i'm scared now i give her 2165 01:08:19,749 --> 01:08:18,400 anything she wants 2166 01:08:22,149 --> 01:08:19,759 and she was thrilled to have that but 2167 01:08:23,910 --> 01:08:22,159 she identified it 2168 01:08:26,390 --> 01:08:23,920 i don't know what that means it's just 2169 01:08:28,309 --> 01:08:26,400 this wonderful incredible story of this 2170 01:08:29,669 --> 01:08:28,319 guy who has this encounter with this 2171 01:08:31,910 --> 01:08:29,679 creature and ends up giving it 2172 01:08:34,070 --> 01:08:31,920 this crucifix from around his neck and 2173 01:08:36,470 --> 01:08:34,080 drapes it on her neck 2174 01:08:38,630 --> 01:08:36,480 you know it's pretty outrageous but it's 2175 01:08:41,749 --> 01:08:38,640 a really really neat story 2176 01:08:43,990 --> 01:08:41,759 yeah that is a great one too i love it 2177
