61 00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:28,310 looking yes we do future newlyweds well 62 00:03:35,420 --> 00:03:31,140 the nice thing about it is I took a look 63 00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:35,430 at her real name is Rachel Megan Markel 64 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:39,150 so I took a look at her overall very 65 00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:41,250 balanced young lady she really does 66 00:03:45,979 --> 00:03:44,160 she's learning how to deal with family 67 00:03:49,309 --> 00:03:45,989 type situations and that makes sense 68 00:03:50,449 --> 00:03:49,319 considering her family's dynamics when 69 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:50,459 she was growing up 70 00:03:54,979 --> 00:03:52,530 the mother father's divorced separations 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:54,989 and such so she's there to learn how to 72 00:04:01,400 --> 00:03:58,410 work it better but she has had the 73 00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:01,410 marriage earlier married a person in 74 00:04:04,699 --> 00:04:03,540 their seven year which says forget it 75 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:04,709 you really don't know what you're doing 76 00:04:08,089 --> 00:04:06,810 and divorced it or nine years said I got 77 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:08,099 out of it done 78 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:10,970 but her situation with Prince Harry 79 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:13,200 timing is perfect for both of them 80 00:04:19,699 --> 00:04:18,000 because she is in her - he going into 81 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:19,709 the six thousand six or when 82 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:23,370 relationships are made and they have a 83 00:04:27,740 --> 00:04:25,680 very good combination between the two of 84 00:04:31,129 --> 00:04:27,750 them both of them are very caring very 85 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:31,139 outgoing that also very helpful people 86 00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:33,650 so that means a lot 87 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:37,350 he's more headstrong than she is both of 88 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:39,570 them are extremely flexible he's a 89 00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:41,610 little more anal than she is believe it 90 00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:43,950 or not which surprised me because he's 91 00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:48,120 such a what would we call a spirit yes 92 00:04:52,190 --> 00:04:49,470 definitely 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:52,200 he's been very much a free spirit but he 94 00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:54,450 works it in a different way so it was 95 00:04:58,159 --> 00:04:56,190 very interesting looking at the two of 96 00:05:01,930 --> 00:04:58,169 them so it's going to be interesting 97 00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:01,940 because I think that they will be not 98 00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:05,310 equally so as William and Kate maybe 99 00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:07,320 more so than William is Kate when it 100 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:10,500 comes to working with the population no 101 00:05:15,620 --> 00:05:14,130 kidding well that's wish them the best 102 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:15,630 they haven't been accused of being 103 00:05:22,909 --> 00:05:20,849 shapeshifters like really not yeah so 104 00:05:26,290 --> 00:05:22,919 let's see what happens this time goes on 105 00:05:29,710 --> 00:05:26,300 oh my so okay well 106 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:29,720

00:07:23,750 doesn't it ya know well yeah I mean they 146 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:25,610 don't give things lightly that's for 147 00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:28,370 sure these Nellie it's very rarely do 148

like like Yoko 151 00:07:40,170 --> 00:07:39,800 Ono had mentioned he said or she knew I 152 00:07:42,029 --> 00:07:40,180 would 153 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:42,039 rely to her because she kind of looked 154 00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:43,930 at him kind of strangely but she knew 155 00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:45,220 that he would never tell her anything 156 00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:48,280 other than the truth so that was another 157 00:07:53,370 --> 00:07:51,400 thing some as well was it on drugs no it 158 00:07:57,659 --> 00:07:53,380 was he was on top of the covers 159 00:07:59,760 --> 00:07:57,669 afterwards mm-hmm yeah so Rhys I was 160 00:08:01,469 --> 00:07:59,770 shocked reading that story yet it was 161 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,479 very intrigued by it that's on our 162 00:08:04,409 --> 00:08:03,520 Facebook page everybody you can go and 163 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:04,419 read it for yourself 164 00:08:08,909 --> 00:08:07,030 it's it's very interesting and then of 165 00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:08,919 course we have all these booms going off 166 00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:11,830 all across yeah some people are saying 167 00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:14,320 it's seismic shifts and other people 168 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:15,520 saying we don't know what the hell it is 169 00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:18,130 but it's scaring us so we don't know 170 00:08:23,010 --> 00:08:21,070 what it is is this the trumpet Gabriel 171 00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:23,020 strumpet giving us a warning I don't 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:26,349 know well especially with South Korea 173 00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:28,090 having to put up what North Korea is 174 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:30,820 doing yeah I feel sorry for them because 175 00:08:38,579 --> 00:08:34,050 they're in such a vulnerable position 176 00:08:42,089 --> 00:08:38,589 upon and we are now to by the way yes I 177 00:08:44,699 --> 00:08:42,099 was kind of hoping Nast you know I wish 178 00:08:46,019 --> 00:08:44,709 the people in power would take a look 179 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:46,029 and quit playing with their trigger 180 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:54,210 too many but yeah this is going into 181 00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:56,050 from yellow alert to Red Alert so 182 00:09:03,360 --> 00:08:59,290 anyways we all need to keep saying 183 00:09:07,050 --> 00:09:03,370 prayers and asking for help from the 184 00:09:08,970 --> 00:09:07,060 other side of the universe and also you 185 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:08,980 know I think all these monsters need to 186 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:10,330 help us out to that we're gonna be 187 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:11,650 talking about they need to get useful 188 00:09:17,250 --> 00:09:14,560 don't you think they probably are more 189 00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:17,260 so than we're aware of because I'll tell 190 00:09:20,970 --> 00:09:19,390 you what if somebody was acting out and 191 00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:20,980 a few of them stood up in front of them 192 00:09:25,319 --> 00:09:22,839 that would quiet him down to her you 193 00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:25,329 know it might work yes I think it would 194 00:09:30,510 --> 00:09:28,150 work quite well I wonder if we could 195 00:09:35,819 --> 00:09:30,520 send a couple of them in on a little 196 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:35,829 journey to North Korea I think what if 197 00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:39,010 yes they could take over and it would be 198 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:39,910 fine with me 199 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:44,140 so definitely Jeff let's talk about Nick 200 00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:46,930 because he is a stellar guest we've had 201

218 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:42,250 nutrient dense meal because there's so 219 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:44,650 much going on in this book 220 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:47,110 definitely definitely a treasure trove 221 00:10:52,890 --> 00:10:50,410 oh it is and you start out now with 222 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:52,900 werewolf so one of my favorite favorite 223 00:10:59,970 --> 00:10:57,040 topics so let's start there now any 224 00:11:02,519 --> 00:10:59,980 recent werewolf stories I mean a lot of 225 00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:02,529 these are from days of old but has there 226 00:11:08,070 --> 00:11:05,100 been anything recently that's popped up 227 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:08,080 well yeah but actually quite a few 228 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:11,200 reports that some researchers think fall 229 00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:12,970 into the werewolf category but today 230 00:11:17,329 --> 00:11:14,950 that people refer to them as dog men 231 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:17,339 it's like dog Mountain is almost like a 232 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:19,930 politically correct term for werewolf 233 00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:22,810 you know the idea that you'd start 234 00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:24,880 talking about werewolves people kind of 235 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:26,920 roll their eyes you know if you talk 236 00:11:31,140 --> 00:11:28,930 about the dying man as a phenomena it's 237 00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:31,150 a little bit different because the 238 00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:35,080 people describe this thing that he for 239 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:36,790 all intents and purposes sounds like a 240 00:11:42,329 --> 00:11:38,890 werewolf we're talking about like a an 241 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:42,339 upright wolf like animal but what's 242 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:44,770 interesting is that although the old 243 00:11:49,650 --> 00:11:47,170 legends talked about you know the whales 244 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:49,660 being shapeshifters with the dog man 245 00:11:54,269 --> 00:11:51,610 phenomenon there's hardly a single 246 00:11:57,690 --> 00:11:54,279 reports where they've shape-shifted 247 00:12:00,120 --> 00:11:57,700 people described seen like a very large 248 00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:00,130 wolf but which has the ability to walk 249 00:12:06,090 --> 00:12:03,400 on its back legs as well as on all four 250 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:06,100 legs which does it give it kind of like 251 00:12:10,650 --> 00:12:07,690 a humanoid type 252 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:10,660 appearance and Linda Godfrey who has 253 00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:12,310 written a number of books on the whole 254 00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:15,460 dog man phenomenon mmm she sort of 255 00:12:21,090 --> 00:12:17,280 looked at the idea that these are 256 00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:21,100 something sort of paranormal maybe multi 257 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:24,160 and interdimensional that kind of thing 258 00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:28,770 and so a lot of controversy surrounding 259 00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:31,540 things like stories of werewolves and 260 00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:34,270 dog men purely and simply because most 261 00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:36,580 people think of werewolves they think of 262 00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:39,280 Hollywood movies and silver bullets and 263 00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:42,160 the full moon whereas the reality you 264 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:44,740 know it is very different in the sense 265 00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:47,650 that people report these uprights wolf 266 00:12:53,010 --> 00:12:50,080 like animals but they don't talk about 267 00:12:54,990 --> 00:12:53,020 seeing you know a person person out of 268 00:12:58,140 --> 00:12:55,000 the clothes at a full moon or whatever 269 00:13:01,710 --> 00:12:58,150 it's so there's a lot of substantial 270 00:13:03,890 --> 00:13:01,720 differences you know between the the 271 00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:03,900 folklore or what people actually report 272 00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:07,150 so dog man doesn't morph into a human 273 00:13:13,230 --> 00:13:10,720 form dog man is just dog man yeah some 274 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:13,240 people think you know the Wunderland or 275 00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:16,720 speculate on the idea could they be like 276 00:13:22,770 --> 00:13:19,420 prehistoric wolves now there were some 277 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:22,780 walls which became extinct thousands and 278 00:13:28,110 --> 00:13:25,450 thousands of years ago one known as the 279 00:13:31,260 --> 00:13:28,120 dire wolf and the Bing rumors of people 280 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:31,270 seeing these huge dire wolves right to 281 00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:32,890 the present day and they may still exist 282 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:36,040 now they didn't have the ability to rear 283 00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:38,650 up on their hind legs but some animals 284 00:13:44,070 --> 00:13:41,350 do life is a classic example would be a 285 00:13:46,050 --> 00:13:44,080 grizzly bear you know they run on all 286 00:13:48,570 --> 00:13:46,060 fours but they will stand up on their 287 00:13:52,050 --> 00:13:48,580 back legs and they will walk along you 288 00:13:54,780 --> 00:13:52,060 know and so some people think that the 289 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:54,790 could there be sort of ancient type of 290 00:14:00,120 --> 00:13:57,610 wolf still exist in in the United States 291 00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:00,130 which if you feel threatened or if it 292 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:02,230 wants to intimidate or frighten a person 293 00:14:07,770 --> 00:14:05,290 it rears up on its hind legs now there 294 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:07,780 is not I should I should stress you know 295 00:14:12,210 --> 00:14:10,210 there isn't an example we can say that 296 00:14:13,980 --> 00:14:12,220 that is provable but that's one of the 297 00:14:16,079 --> 00:14:13,990 theories that's been put forward that 298 00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:16,089 there perhaps you know as I said like a 299 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:19,030 grizzly bear they can briefly rear up on 300 00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:20,770 their back legs and if you saw them 301 00:14:23,490 --> 00:14:21,190 if you 302 00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:23,500 saw them briefly you know late at night 303 00:14:27,780 --> 00:14:25,990 in the shadows teetering on their back 304 00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:27,790 legs and he's got this sort of long 305 00:14:33,630 --> 00:14:30,190 muzzle and pointed ears you might just 306 00:14:36,810 --> 00:14:33,640 think you've seen a real werewolf rather 307 00:14:38,850 --> 00:14:36,820 than perhaps you know an unusual type of 308 00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:38,860 wolf that we haven't classified properly 309 00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:43,270 yet that's interesting now and there is 310 00:14:47,730 --> 00:14:45,160 a show I'm you may have heard of it 311 00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:47,740 called paranormal witness it's actually 312 00:14:57,210 --> 00:14:52,270 produced by people from the UK and they 313 00:15:00,900 --> 00:14:57,220 had a show it was a reenactment actually 314 00:15:03,810 --> 00:15:00,910 of something that occurred out in the 315 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:03,820 western part of the United States where 316 00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:07,510 these people tracked this man who had 317 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:11,380 shown up at their the back door looking 318 00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:13,570 like very wolf like and they tracked him 319 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:18,160 through the snow to a small cabin and he 320 00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:21,610 wasn't there but what was there was a 321 00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:24,750 room with scratches on the wall and 322 00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:27,310 chains on the wall just like you would 323 00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:30,340 expect somebody who was changing and 324 00:15:34,590 --> 00:15:32,140 aware into werewolf and wants to control 325 00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:34,600 himself would have in their house there 326 00:15:40,530 --> 00:15:37,360 was nothing else in the house there was 327 00:15:42,930 --> 00:15:40,540 no food there was nothing else but they 328 00:15:45,450 --> 00:15:42,940 tracked him there and he had very weird 329 00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:45,460 looking eyes he did have a job in an 330 00:15:51,570 --> 00:15:48,340 auto shop but he lived alone he had no 331 00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:51,580 friends and again you know people had 332 00:15:57,330 --> 00:15:54,910 seen him outside their homes looking 333 00:15:59,940 --> 00:15:57,340 very wolf-like and then to find this in 334 00:16:01,560 --> 00:15:59,950 his house he died eventually and the 335 00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:01,570 police went into the house and they 336 00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:03,070 found the same thing these guys had 337 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:05,910 found so it is entirely possible that 338 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,850 there are still werewolves right yeah I 339 00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:11,920 mean one of the cases that I cover in 340 00:16:16,740 --> 00:16:14,500 the book it's not it's not completely up 341 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:16,750 today but it's actually not sort of like 342 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:18,730 most people think you know the 1700's 343 00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:21,610 and 1800's there was actually a very 344 00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:24,760 famous wave of sightings in 19 the 345 00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:29,140 summer of 1972 in the Ohio town of 346 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:32,560 defiance yes yeah now if you google 347 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:35,050 Defiance Ohio where will 348 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:37,690 1972 you'll see a lot of stories and 349 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:40,450 what happened with a number of guys who 350 00:16:44,329 --> 00:16:42,310 were working on the railroad the 351 00:16:48,810 --> 00:16:44,339 railroad runs through the town itself 352 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:48,820 though doing shift works and one of the 353 00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:50,410 guys from the early hours of the morning 354 00:16:57,150 --> 00:16:53,649 saw this upright figure thought it was a 355 00:16:58,410 --> 00:16:57,160 man at first then realized the clothes 356 00:17:01,319 --> 00:16:58,420 were kind of tattered 357 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:01,329 and instead I'm the regular head and 358 00:17:07,650 --> 00:17:04,000 face he had he had a head like a German 359 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:07,660 Shepherd and obviously you know he fled 360 00:17:15,059 --> 00:17:09,730 the scene immediately but there are 361 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,069 seven or eight examples where the the 362 00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:17,199 railroad workers have seen this creature 363 00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:20,079 prowling around and then interesting 364 00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:21,670 enough kind of similar to the story that 365 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:23,920 you just mentioned people to herd these 366 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:26,050 scrapings and scratching noise on their 367 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:28,089 front door in the early hours of the 368 00:17:32,850 --> 00:17:30,730 morning and even the local police got 369 00:17:34,650 --> 00:17:32,860 involved and they took it seriously 370 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:34,660 because they actually opened a file an 371 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:38,080 official file to investigate these cases 372 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:41,440 and these reports and and they you know 373 00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:44,710 they stayed up through the night and you 374 00:17:48,270 --> 00:17:46,540 know sort of patrolled the area so it's 375 00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:48,280 taken very very seriously and even the 376 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,740 local press didn't laugh at it because 377 00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,480 they realized that people have seen 378 00:17:57,570 --> 00:17:54,640 something at least and the police are 379 00:17:59,700 --> 00:17:57,580 involved and the railroad stuff and you 380 00:18:01,230 --> 00:17:59,710 know these weren't anonymous sources it 381 00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:01,240 couldn't be tracked down these would be 382 00:18:07,020 --> 00:18:03,910 no local people in town that everybody 383 00:18:10,860 --> 00:18:07,030 knew so it was really for about six 384 00:18:13,770 --> 00:18:10,870 weeks it was almost like a like a state 385 00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:13,780 of fear descended on defiance purely and 386 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:16,510 simply because of these sort of weird 387 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:19,809 werewolf type encounters that's it was a 388 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:22,480 great story in the book and and I was 389 00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:24,850 surprised to see that it happened in 72 390 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:27,520 as you mentioned it's a much more 391 00:18:31,950 --> 00:18:29,530 current and again I think that there may 392 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:31,960 be other stories like this but when you 393 00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:34,090 go to find these stories how do you find 394 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:35,950 them I mean do people just come to you 395 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:37,809 or do you go digging for them how do you 396 00:18:42,930 --> 00:18:40,510 find them well it's a bit of both really 397 00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:42,940 I mean very often you know I like to do 398 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:45,309 research and investigate things so 399 00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:48,400 sometimes you know I'll go out and look 400 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:51,430 you know for these for these cases and 401 00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:54,610 witnesses and you know travel around but 402 00:19:00,570 --> 00:18:58,000 other cases you know it is a situation 403 00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:00,580 where very often people might have been 404 00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:03,040 you know it's a radio show like tonight 405 00:19:08,340 --> 00:19:06,310 and then the next day they're like oh 406 00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:08,350 well that sounds like what I saw so then 407 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:10,600 they'll you know the email me or send me 408 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:13,450 a Facebook message so you know that does 409 00:19:18,150 --> 00:19:15,010 actually make it a lot easier because 410 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:18,160 people do you know share their story 411 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,290 which obvious you know I'm grateful in 412 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:22,480 place for because without the witnesses 413 00:19:26,970 --> 00:19:24,610 we've got nothing to go on you know the 414 00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:26,980 witnesses are always the most important 415 00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:28,600 people in these cases because without 416 00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:31,060 the witnesses and without them coming 417 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:34,600 forward we've got nothing to go on so so 418 00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:36,970 I do get a lot of people contact me 419 00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:41,470 about their experiences you know and 420 00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:43,270 then I chat with them if they're willing 421 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:47,230 to chat and talk and you know so as I 422 00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:49,210 said that does make it easier and also 423 00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:51,670 you know you become a good judge of 424 00:19:59,520 --> 00:19:53,830 character you get to know the people and 425 00:20:00,900 --> 00:19:59,530 you know understand them etc so it's not 426 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:00,910 just a matter of sort of collecting the 427 00:20:06,270 --> 00:20:04,090 stories it's it's sort of gaining the 428 00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:06,280 trust of the witness as well you know 429 00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:07,540 when they realize they're not going to 430 00:20:11,370 --> 00:20:09,520 be laughed at or whatever that's an 431 00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:11,380 important part of that that you take 432 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:13,510 them seriously so I'd imagine again with 433 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:15,850 your reputation it precedes you they do 434 00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:17,530 feel comfortable talking to you about 435 00:20:21,630 --> 00:20:19,630 these things so thank goodness for that 436 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:21,640 now I have a question for you from the 437 00:20:26,730 --> 00:20:23,650 chat room this is from shimmering lights 438 00:20:30,170 --> 00:20:26,740 who's saying hi Nick what is the oldest 439 00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:30,180 story with werewolf sightings 440 00:20:35,310 --> 00:20:33,310 well the oldest one I mean you go well 441 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:35,320 you can actually go back thousands of 442 00:20:40,890 --> 00:20:38,410 years and you can find throughout 443 00:20:45,090 --> 00:20:40,900 numerous cultures where they had like 444 00:20:48,210 --> 00:20:45,100 dog headed gods or warm heavy gods I 445 00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:48,220 mean a perfect example would be Anubis 446 00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:50,560 you know the Egyptian God which is very 447 00:20:55,950 --> 00:20:53,830 much sort of doglike but of course the 448 00:21:00,150 --> 00:20:55,960 big question is should we interpret 449 00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:00,160 those as werewolves or is it something 450 00:21:05,659 --> 00:21:02,070 that's completely different 451 00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:05,669 but what in terms of sort of definitive 452 00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:08,110 werewolf type store is the earliest that 453 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:11,440 I personally investigated occurred about 454 00:21:17,730 --> 00:21:14,890 1100 years ago in England and in a 455 00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:17,740 little town called flicks turn and there 456 00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:19,960 was a story there of like a magician 457 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:22,510 type character who supposedly had the 458 00:21:27,630 --> 00:21:24,850 ability to transform himself into a wolf 459 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:27,640 so that's like a classic example that's 460 00:21:32,010 --> 00:21:30,190 that's very very old now it didn't have 461 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,020 this sort of the issues of the full moon 462 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:34,720 and all that kind of thing but it was 463 00:21:40,830 --> 00:21:37,570 you know in essence like shape-shifting 464 00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:40,840 now stories of shapeshifters do go back 465 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:43,630 thousands of years you know where people 466 00:21:50,850 --> 00:21:45,730 believed they could take on different 467 00:21:53,159 --> 00:21:50,860 forms and you know sort of rampage 468 00:21:55,230 --> 00:21:53,169 around the woods etc in classic fashion 469 00:21:57,810 --> 00:21:55,240 but that's the earliest one I've looked 470 00:22:00,299 --> 00:21:57,820 into but but it is important to know 471 00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:00,309 that sort of dog headed creatures or 472 00:22:07,230 --> 00:22:03,520 entities do play big roles in in ancient 473 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:07,240 religions yes they do that's absolutely 474 00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:11,049 true and well let's let's go forward in 475 00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:14,260 your book I the heads can you talk to us 476 00:22:20,820 --> 00:22:16,510 about the heads those two heads the kids 477 00:22:23,639 --> 00:22:20,830 dug up that was a wild one Wow well 478 00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:23,649 funnily enough that was also 1972 which 479 00:22:28,139 --> 00:22:25,480 was the year of the defiance werewolf 480 00:22:30,419 --> 00:22:28,149 but be the case here talking about to 481 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:30,429 become it's an English case in north of 482 00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:33,730 England called the hexam heads and hexam 483 00:22:38,970 --> 00:22:35,679 is a little town in the north of England 484 00:22:42,299 --> 00:22:38,980 and basically what happens to young boys 485 00:22:44,850 --> 00:22:42,309 in the school holidays just playing 486 00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:44,860 outside in the backyard and they decide 487 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:47,470 to you know just dig around in holes and 488 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:49,090 while they were playing you know and 489 00:22:55,139 --> 00:22:52,090 they found these two strange carved 490 00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:55,149 heads which were sort of made out of 491 00:23:00,720 --> 00:22:57,039 stone about the size of like a tennis 492 00:23:02,639 --> 00:23:00,730 ball something like that and one looked 493 00:23:07,019 --> 00:23:02,649 to be carved in the face of like a male 494 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:07,029 figure and the other one female and they 495 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:08,529 thought it was just you know cool little 496 00:23:15,690 --> 00:23:13,210 carved stones and and so contact was 497 00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:15,700 made we sort of like local archaeologist 498 00:23:22,430 --> 00:23:17,980 people like that and the press soon got 499 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:22,440 onto the story and then it was actually 500 00:23:28,350 --> 00:23:25,600 confirmed that these were sort of Celtic 501 00:23:30,269 --> 00:23:28,360 origin you know going back thousands of 502 00:23:32,850 --> 00:23:30,279 years and they may have been used in 503 00:23:35,009 --> 00:23:32,860 some fertility rites or sacrificial 504 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:35,019 rites that kind of thing but everybody 505 00:23:41,159 --> 00:23:37,690 who handled the stone heads got a really 506 00:23:43,710 --> 00:23:41,169 weird vibe from them you know kind of an 507 00:23:46,049 --> 00:23:43,720 unsettling look on the face where people 508 00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:46,059 almost felt like the stones were alive 509 00:23:50,940 --> 00:23:47,019 somehow 510 00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:50,950 what specifically weird is that whenever 511 00:23:57,330 --> 00:23:54,360 anybody would take them into their home 512 00:24:00,360 --> 00:23:57,340 strange things would happen now one of 513 00:24:04,289 --> 00:24:00,370 them was a woman named dr. Ann Ross and 514 00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:04,299 she was an expert in Celtic history and 515 00:24:08,370 --> 00:24:05,919 Celtic archaeology you know Gaia 516 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:08,380 thousands of years in Scotland and 517 00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:11,440 Ireland places like that and when she 518 00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:13,870 took these her stones and hexam's heads 519 00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:17,799 into her house she woke up on the first 520 00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:19,750 night in the middle of the night to see 521 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:23,080 this upright wolf-like creature looming 522 00:24:28,259 --> 00:24:25,090 over the bed 523 00:24:30,649 --> 00:24:28,269 she says she woke up it's sort of raced 524 00:24:34,019 --> 00:24:30,659 out the room and leaves it like a to 525 00:24:36,629 --> 00:24:34,029 floor house he bounded over the 526 00:24:38,370 --> 00:24:36,639 staircase and ran down the staircase and 527 00:24:42,210 --> 00:24:38,380 out the door 528 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:42,220 various other people who also over the 529 00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:45,250 years had access to the heads reporting 530 00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:46,929 very similar things they'd wake up in 531 00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:49,360 the night again say this wolf like thing 532 00:24:54,930 --> 00:24:52,110 looking at them and it was as if 533 00:24:58,919 --> 00:24:54,940 actually sort of possessing the head 534 00:25:01,289 --> 00:24:58,929 somehow manifested these almost like a 535 00:25:04,049 --> 00:25:01,299 supernatural type of a werewolf you know 536 00:25:07,379 --> 00:25:04,059 not a physical creature as such but more 537 00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:07,389 more like a phantom but looking like a 538 00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:09,460 werewolf which you know they would 539 00:25:15,049 --> 00:25:11,529 vanish and appear and vanish and appear 540 00:25:19,019 --> 00:25:15,059 and so on and over the years various 541 00:25:21,330 --> 00:25:19,029 researchers looked after the heads and 542 00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:21,340 most of them were just wanted gone of 543 00:25:32,669 --> 00:25:30,720 I bury them but today nobody knows where 544 00:25:35,729 --> 00:25:32,679 the originals are a few copies are made 545 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:35,739 which are in various people's hands but 546 00:25:40,229 --> 00:25:37,570 we don't know where the originals are 547 00:25:43,169 --> 00:25:40,239 but I mean the boys today they're sort 548 00:25:47,460 --> 00:25:43,179 of sort of mid to late 50s now something 549 00:25:49,619 --> 00:25:47,470 like that and you know they've since 550 00:25:51,239 --> 00:25:49,629 come forward but he he was covered in 551 00:25:53,369 --> 00:25:51,249 the newspapers at the time but then he 552 00:25:55,529 --> 00:25:53,379 got forgotten about and then we picked 553 00:25:57,769 --> 00:25:55,539 up years later but that's sort of a like 554 00:26:00,389 --> 00:25:57,779 I said a spooky story these sort of old 555 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:00,399 carved heads which people got this sort 556 00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:03,690 of really creepy feeling from you know 557 00:26:08,999 --> 00:26:06,909 yeah and it allowed these things to to 558 00:26:11,369 --> 00:26:09,009 come through like that big wolf creature 559 00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:11,379 on two legs it sounds like that was 560 00:26:15,899 --> 00:26:13,809 connected to it yeah I think that's 561 00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:15,909 actually part of the story the idea that 562 00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:18,609 you know you take them in the home and 563 00:26:24,539 --> 00:26:21,460 it's almost as if you open a door I kind 564 00:26:27,149 --> 00:26:24,549 of similar to somebody using like a 565 00:26:29,549 --> 00:26:27,159 wager board you know you you open a 566 00:26:32,849 --> 00:26:29,559 portal or a doorway and I think that's 567 00:26:38,330 --> 00:26:32,859 what happened with the hexam heads that 568 00:26:41,310 --> 00:26:38,340 somehow just possessing them allowed 569 00:26:43,049 --> 00:26:41,320 this phenomenon if you like of these 570 00:26:44,399 --> 00:26:43,059 wolf headed figures you'd allowed them 571 00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:44,409 to come through you know it was almost 572 00:26:50,430 --> 00:26:47,609 like a permission kind of thing exactly 573 00:26:52,619 --> 00:26:50,440 exactly well what a strange story that 574 00:26:54,509 --> 00:26:52,629 was I learned that one that's great 575 00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:54,519 here's another question from the chat 576 00:26:59,599 --> 00:26:56,799 room this is from Cary Remington who's 577 00:27:03,450 --> 00:26:59,609 asking are these shapeshifters first 578 00:27:08,399 --> 00:27:03,460 human who transformed into animals or 579 00:27:12,899 --> 00:27:08,409 animals who become humans that's a good 580 00:27:14,879 --> 00:27:12,909 question because in some cases well it's 581 00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:14,889 hard to say because you don't know what 582 00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:16,779 the original form is you know if some of 583 00:27:22,889 --> 00:27:20,230 these creatures are strange creatures to 584 00:27:24,269 --> 00:27:22,899 begin with but they could take on human 585 00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:24,279 form a lot of people don't actually 586 00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:26,169 think of that you know they always think 587 00:27:31,169 --> 00:27:30,700 of a person turning into a werewolf or a 588 00:27:32,369 --> 00:27:31,179 vampire 589 00:27:33,479 --> 00:27:32,379 they don't think of it the other way 590 00:27:35,609 --> 00:27:33,489 around you know which is kind of 591 00:27:38,820 --> 00:27:35,619 interesting that people don't think of 592 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:38,830 it the other way around but there are 593 00:27:42,300 --> 00:27:39,730 actually some 594 00:27:44,970 --> 00:27:42,310 which I talk about in the book where but 595 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:44,980 the creature itself never actually took 596 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:50,050 on the form of a person for some cases 597 00:27:53,970 --> 00:27:52,090 where people saw these weird creatures 598 00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:53,980 and they morphed into like a ball of 599 00:28:00,360 --> 00:27:57,370 light or the ball of light morphed into 600 00:28:03,690 --> 00:28:00,370 a strange creature so sometimes people 601 00:28:06,770 --> 00:28:03,700 aren't even in the equation you know but 602 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:06,780 for the most part the ones that I've got 603 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:11,050 the I guess the inference is that you 604 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:13,090 know they're people who were able to 605 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:17,410 take on animal form but as I said there 606 00:28:22,020 --> 00:28:19,330 are a few cases it's particularly 607 00:28:24,570 --> 00:28:22,030 something like Native American legends 608 00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:24,580 like where the coyote for examples is 609 00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:26,080 supposedly a shapeshifter 610 00:28:34,350 --> 00:28:30,670 but they could take on human form but 611 00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:34,360 for the most part yeah it is sort of the 612 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:37,990 human turns into the creature gosh it's 613 00:28:43,710 --> 00:28:40,450 just there's so many creatures I had no 614 00:28:45,780 --> 00:28:43,720 idea I mean we are familiar with a lot 615 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:45,790 of them but you have mentioned things 616 00:28:50,340 --> 00:28:48,130 here we've never heard of so again I 617 00:28:52,910 --> 00:28:50,350 want to highly recommend your book it is 618 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:52,920 shapeshifters morphing monsters and 619 00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:56,410 changing cryptids and for those of you 620 00:29:01,200 --> 00:28:58,240 watching us on video you can see the 621 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:01,210 book here it's just filled

00:31:29,830 shape-shifting into cat-like animals is 678 00:31:36,810 --> 00:31:35,440 that more rare than dogs chapter on in 679 00:31:39,390 --> 00:31:36,820 the book and that they're known as we're 680 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:39,400 cats you know people think of werewolves 681 00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:42,130 but they're stories of where cats where 682 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:44,590 Tigers where hyenas all sorts in 683 00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:46,530 different cultures around the world and 684 00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:51,460 actually do have several stories of what 685 00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:54,310 you call where cats now Africa for 686 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:56,310 example they have long-standing 687 00:32:02,370 --> 00:31:58,570 traditions or what are known as leopard 688 00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:02,380 men now in some cases this 689 00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:04,990 the the leopard Menace or a symbolic 690 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:07,600 thing where tribal members will sort of 691 00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:10,930 dress up in the form of like a leopard 692 00:32:15,660 --> 00:32:13,360 or a tiger and sometimes you know 693 00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:15,670 they'll have the the skin of one the 694 00:32:21,090 --> 00:32:17,880 hide of one of the animals over them and 695 00:32:23,940 --> 00:32:21,100 the the imagery becomes part of their 696 00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:23,950 you know their their rituals but there 697 00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:26,320 are other stories of like shamanic 698 00:32:32,690 --> 00:32:29,830 people you know in these cultures who 699 00:32:37,050 --> 00:32:32,700 claim that they can physically transform 700 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:37,060 into a sort of a human / cat-like animal 701 00:32:42,450 --> 00:32:40,000 now as bizarre as it sounds there are 702 00:32:47,610 --> 00:32:42,460 more than a few of these cases on record 703 00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:47,620 I talked about one case in the UK back 704 00:32:53,670 --> 00:32:50,980 in the 1970s in the English county of 705 00:32:58,500 --> 00:32:53,680 Devon where a guy was out walking his 706 00:33:00,030 --> 00:32:58,510 dog and saw this large black cat I guess 707 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:00,040 the closest thing would be something 708 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:01,930 like a like a black leopard you know 709 00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:03,250 this was what the size of a mountain 710 00:33:07,530 --> 00:33:05,830 lion which we do get a lot of reports 711 00:33:10,170 --> 00:33:07,540 like this in the UK but there should not 712 00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:10,180 be any you know large big cats roaming 713 00:33:14,970 --> 00:33:12,190 around the UK at all them people say 714 00:33:17,490 --> 00:33:14,980 them some of these cases are kind of 715 00:33:20,340 --> 00:33:17,500 weird and in this case the witness said 716 00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:20,350 he just kind of stood there stunned for 717 00:33:25,380 --> 00:33:21,910 a second he grabbed the dog you know 718 00:33:28,620 --> 00:33:25,390 people dog of and then suddenly this 719 00:33:31,170 --> 00:33:28,630 black cat kind of literally morphed and 720 00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:31,180 transformed where its back legs changed 721 00:33:36,150 --> 00:33:34,120 to where it could stand off comfortably 722 00:33:40,470 --> 00:33:36,160 on its hind legs and he said he had this 723 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:40,480 its face kind of choked on a semi human 724 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:42,970 look and he kind of laid at him like 725 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:46,210 sneered at him almost and it sort of 726 00:33:50,910 --> 00:33:48,250 really terrified him and he just you 727 00:33:52,890 --> 00:33:50,920 know he just fled the scene and which is 728 00:33:55,770 --> 00:33:52,900 probably probably not a bad thing to do 729 00:33:58,170 --> 00:33:55,780 but but I mean there are a lot of 730 00:34:03,360 --> 00:33:58,180 stories like this I mean I know the one 731 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:03,370 that I talked about scares me in 732 00:34:09,750 --> 00:34:05,890 relation to these cases one I've got 733 00:34:11,790 --> 00:34:09,760 from from Oregon now this was from a 734 00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:11,800 woman named journey through contacted me 735 00:34:18,649 --> 00:34:15,510 and she told me how in 2011 736 00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:18,659 she saw one of these things literally 737 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:22,110 racing across the road she'd been out 738 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:23,850 with a few friends and where she lived 739 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:26,130 was just around the corner so she walked 740 00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:29,010 home and she saw this creature which she 741 00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:31,800 could only describe there's like like a 742 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:35,070 large human-like cat that's the best way 743 00:34:39,350 --> 00:34:36,810 I can describe it's done his hind legs 744 00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:39,360 and racing across the road into the 745 00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:42,780 shadows and I mean she was terrified by 746 00:34:46,940 --> 00:34:44,159 it she went you know when she told me 747 00:34:49,700 --> 00:34:46,950 the story it was just as clear and as 748 00:34:51,649 --> 00:34:49,710 scary to her as it was when I 749 00:34:55,700 --> 00:34:51,659 interviewed her versus you know when 750 00:34:57,860 --> 00:34:55,710 this occurred back in 2011 but we're cat 751 00:35:00,020 --> 00:34:57,870 stories yeah you can find them all 752 00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:00,030 around the world and one of the things 753 00:35:04,490 --> 00:35:02,070 most of the stories have in common if 754 00:35:07,090 --> 00:35:04,500 not all that we all have in common is 755 00:35:10,370 --> 00:35:07,100 the angle of these things somehow being 756 00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:10,380 evil people's actually say they kind of 757 00:35:15,050 --> 00:35:12,960 get a sense of evil from them you know 758 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:15,060 kind of that feeling when you meet 759 00:35:18,740 --> 00:35:17,610 someone for the first time and you've 760 00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:18,750 never met and we don't know anything 761 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:20,310 about it but you get a weird vibe from 762 00:35:24,140 --> 00:35:22,050 them you know something you don't like 763 00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:24,150 about the person we've all done that 764 00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:26,400 from sides of type yeah you imagine that 765 00:35:32,450 --> 00:35:29,060 kind of imagine that sort of magnified 766 00:35:34,570 --> 00:35:32,460 in relation to failure you know that's 767 00:35:37,610 --> 00:35:34,580 that's what most people say they just 768 00:35:39,230 --> 00:35:37,620 sensed a feeling of fear but they just 769 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:39,240 didn't know why wasn't just the fact 770 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:41,850 that it looked weird and creepy it was 771 00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:50,000 evilness in in all the collections of 772 00:35:54,230 --> 00:35:51,630 these stories and interviewing people 773 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:54,240 have you ever come across anybody who 774 00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:56,610 was able to get past their fear in the 775 00:36:01,280 --> 00:35:59,010 shock of seeing something so strange 776 00:36:06,650 --> 00:36:01,290 that was able to kind of take a breath 777 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:06,660 and try to communicate with it the only 778 00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:09,690 one I can think of was in relation to 779 00:36:12,650 --> 00:36:11,280 one of these large black cats no it 780 00:36:15,230 --> 00:36:12,660 doesn't relate to actually the 781 00:36:17,870 --> 00:36:15,240 shape-shifting angle but I did speak to 782 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:17,880 a guy once who was actually funnily 783 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:20,690 enough out walking his dog again and 784 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:26,490 everybody walks their dog running but he 785 00:36:32,660 --> 00:36:29,370 told me how walking by an old canal 786 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:32,670 and suddenly this large black cat came 787 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:34,410 round the corner and he said he was so 788 00:36:46,850 --> 00:36:37,890 stunned he didn't know at Regis he said 789 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:46,860 hello to that position you don't really 790 00:36:50,300 --> 00:36:48,570 know what you were doing he just kind of 791 00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:50,310 like stopped you know I guess he's jaw 792 00:36:56,390 --> 00:36:54,870 dropped and he says hello but I really 793 00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:56,400 didn't get attacked or anything just 794 00:37:01,460 --> 00:36:58,610 backed away and the cat kind of just 795 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:01,470 scared him out but you know tell any 796 00:37:09,650 --> 00:37:06,450 movers boss I guess but if it's things 797 00:37:11,870 --> 00:37:09,660 like that that you know for me are 798 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:11,880 important because he kind of humanizes 799 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:14,160 the experience you know you realize that 800 00:37:18,620 --> 00:37:16,770 he it's not a hoax because it's the kind 801 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:18,630 of thing we all might do you know when 802 00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:19,850 you just phase through that 803 00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:22,590 unpredictable situation you're like oh I 804 00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:25,920 mean yeah I give you example I mean the 805 00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:28,800 apartments where I live this is kind of 806 00:37:33,260 --> 00:37:31,500 almost identical you know I live on the 807 00:37:36,050 --> 00:37:33,270 second floor so when I go down to get 808 00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:36,060 the mail there's like a white cat here 809 00:37:40,010 --> 00:37:38,100 that everybody feeds so I'll get down 810 00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:40,020 the bottom of the steps and every 811 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:42,030 morning you'll go kill me out four or 812 00:37:49,130 --> 00:37:44,610 five times so kill me I mean I once I go 813 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:49,140 hey any old meow again I'll go hey so I 814 00:38:04,850 --> 00:37:54,210 guess I kind of do the same yeah white 815 00:38:07,190 --> 00:38:04,860 cat haters and shape-shift supernovae do 816 00:38:09,710 --> 00:38:07,200 you think any of these creatures may be 817 00:38:16,190 --> 00:38:09,720 a part of a black op government 818 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:16,200 experiment gone wrong well I mean I've 819 00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:18,650 had two heard that theory 820 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:20,960 not so much in relation to 821 00:38:25,910 --> 00:38:23,130 shape-shifting but in relation to weird 822 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:25,920 creatures in general for example I've 823 00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:27,570 been a lot of expeditions to Puerto Rico 824 00:38:35,090 --> 00:38:32,120 looking for the original chupacabra and 825 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:35,100 chupacabras and I've heard a lot of 826 00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:37,770 stories there about military programs 827 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:41,510 and underground labs where supposedly 828 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:43,050 research was 829 00:38:49,790 --> 00:38:46,530 - you know genetically alter regular 830 00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:49,800 animals into these sort of Chupacabra 831 00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:51,510 type creatures I've heard a lot of 832 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:53,460 stories about experiments being 833 00:38:59,480 --> 00:38:55,530 undertaken on Puerto Rico involving 834 00:39:01,340 --> 00:38:59,490 monkeys and chimpanzees to mutate them 835 00:39:03,260 --> 00:39:01,350 into something else which could be 836 00:39:07,330 --> 00:39:03,270 unleashed on the battlefield you know 837 00:39:09,260 --> 00:39:07,340 like some sort of killing machine now 838 00:39:11,390 --> 00:39:09,270 obviously you know those stories an 839 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:11,400 extremely controversial the idea of 840 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:13,650 literally being to being able to 841 00:39:19,670 --> 00:39:16,530 genetically alter you know a creature 842 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:19,680 into something else I mean as far as our 843 00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:21,690 science medicine and technology is 844 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:24,960 concerned we cannot do that but you know 845 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:26,490 who knows what's going on behind the 846 00:39:31,460 --> 00:39:29,850 scenes in terms of what somebody else 847 00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:31,470 could have achieved you know I mean 848 00:39:36,620 --> 00:39:34,800 things like gene splicing and you know 849 00:39:38,330 --> 00:39:36,630 sort of mixing genes from one creature 850 00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:38,340 to another which is actually going on 851 00:39:44,540 --> 00:39:41,310 now then you could well understand if 852 00:39:46,610 --> 00:39:44,550 somebody secretly is 20 or 30 years 853 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:46,620 ahead of the rest of us in terms of 854 00:39:52,910 --> 00:39:50,490 science then it's not out of the you 855 00:39:54,380 --> 00:39:52,920 know at of the possibility but I have 856 00:39:56,060 --> 00:39:54,390 heard of quite a few stories like that 857 00:40:00,980 --> 00:39:56,070 particularly in relation to the 858 00:40:03,710 --> 00:40:00,990 chupacabra as I said and also some of 859 00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:03,720 the skinwalker type reports and things 860 00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:06,240 like that the idea that the military 861 00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:08,070 might be interested in this kind of 862 00:40:13,340 --> 00:40:11,310 phenomenon yeah and they also might have 863 00:40:15,590 --> 00:40:13,350 creatures that have gotten loose because 864 00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:15,600 I know there was a story about people 865 00:40:20,750 --> 00:40:17,760 swimming in a lake out in the Midwest 866 00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:20,760 and they were attacked by a very strange 867 00:40:27,170 --> 00:40:22,710 creature that scratched them up really 868 00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:27,180 badly and they left that site in a hurry 869 00:40:33,530 --> 00:40:30,720 but then they were visited by several 870 00:40:35,810 --> 00:40:33,540 military people and told never to talk 871 00:40:37,850 --> 00:40:35,820 about it which of course they did talk 872 00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:37,860 about it thank goodness because that's 873 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:40,110 how we heard the story but again so you 874 00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:43,410 may you know I makes me wonder is this 875 00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:45,180 one of theirs that got loose and now 876 00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:46,710 they're following up and trying to cover 877 00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:50,310 their own tracks so it is possible yeah 878 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:51,960 but a lot of those stories you know like 879 00:40:55,550 --> 00:40:53,490 I said I appease that sort of thing 880 00:40:57,140 --> 00:40:55,560 that's what I heard a lot in Puerto Rico 881 00:40:59,150 --> 00:40:57,150 on you know in terms 882 00:41:01,370 --> 00:40:59,160 are they escaped and they're running 883 00:41:04,910 --> 00:41:01,380 around and they're responsible for the 884 00:41:07,370 --> 00:41:04,920 other Chupacabra reports so I had some 885 00:41:10,130 --> 00:41:07,380 really weird stuff about I don't you 886 00:41:11,329 --> 00:41:10,140 ever seen the the movie 28 days later 887 00:41:13,759 --> 00:41:11,339 which is um 888 00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:13,769 it may be about 1516 years ago it's a 889 00:41:20,539 --> 00:41:17,569 zombie movie set in England where these 890 00:41:22,849 --> 00:41:20,549 chimpanzees have been using experiments 891 00:41:26,059 --> 00:41:22,859 and they the scientists create what they 892 00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:26,069 call the rage virus and they inject it 893 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:28,079 into these chimpanzees and it sends them 894 00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:30,450 crazy you know but kill anybody you know 895 00:41:33,470 --> 00:41:31,710 the idea is to unleash them on the 896 00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:33,480 battlefield against the enemy but what 897 00:41:38,989 --> 00:41:36,329 happens is the virus gets out into the 898 00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:38,999 you the population of the UK and the 899 00:41:42,799 --> 00:41:40,710 UK's quarantine because you've got all 900 00:41:44,509 --> 00:41:42,809 these people running around like crazy 901 00:41:46,730 --> 00:41:44,519 zombies because they're all infected 902 00:41:49,789 --> 00:41:46,740 with the rage virus now actually it's 903 00:41:51,499 --> 00:41:49,799 something very similar to that one of my 904 00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:51,509 earlier trips to Puerto Rico where 905 00:41:58,150 --> 00:41:54,089 people said that chimpanzees and monkeys 906 00:42:00,609 --> 00:41:58,160 were being used in sort of mind-altering 907 00:42:03,339 --> 00:42:00,619 experiments you know to try and turn a 908 00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:03,349 friendly little monkey into sort of a 909 00:42:08,859 --> 00:42:05,400 rampaging killing machine you know 910 00:42:11,390 --> 00:42:08,869 that's horrible well how would you tell 911 00:42:13,220 --> 00:42:11,400 who's the good guy who is the bad guy if 912 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:13,230 you turn them loose how do they know the 913 00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:16,890 difference well I mean well I mean if 914 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:29,420 yeah how would they know which side 915 00:42:33,769 --> 00:42:31,650 they're after the battle that's hard to 916 00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:33,779 tell say what you mean oh no that's 917 00:42:37,759 --> 00:42:35,460 actually a really good point I mean I 918 00:42:39,589 --> 00:42:37,769 think the only way you if the stories 919 00:42:42,799 --> 00:42:39,599 are true I think the only way you could 920 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:42,809 use that as a weapon would be if only 921 00:42:46,370 --> 00:42:44,970 the enemy were on the battlefield you 922 00:42:47,479 --> 00:42:46,380 know because of your own troops were 923 00:42:49,489 --> 00:42:47,489 there then they're probably just going 924 00:42:53,089 --> 00:42:49,499 to attack them as well so I think the 925 00:42:55,339 --> 00:42:53,099 only way they could ever gain anything 926 00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:55,349 would be you know to release them 927 00:42:58,910 --> 00:42:55,920 somehow 928 00:43:06,859 --> 00:42:58,920 and to make sure that none of our side 929 00:43:09,380 --> 00:43:06,869 was there you know yeah they wouldn't 930 00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:09,390 suddenly think oh bad the good guys will 931 00:43:15,130 --> 00:43:10,960 leave them alone 932 00:43:16,749 --> 00:43:15,140 the way it has a little scent on them so 933 00:43:20,799 --> 00:43:16,759 they know which one's the good guy glass 934 00:43:24,279 --> 00:43:20,809 the bad well here's another question for 935 00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:24,289 you this let's see what everything just 936 00:43:29,559 --> 00:43:27,049 dropped down a second there was an old 937 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:29,569 movie this is from Squatch detective 938 00:43:35,230 --> 00:43:31,970 with James Earl Jones shape-shifting 939 00:43:37,299 --> 00:43:35,240 into a snake in Conan the Barbarian was 940 00:43:41,230 --> 00:43:37,309 this an early look into shape-shifting 941 00:43:43,930 --> 00:43:41,240 reptilians that the UFO talk about now 942 00:43:46,450 --> 00:43:43,940 UFO people talk about now or is this in 943 00:43:49,630 --> 00:43:46,460 the cryptid research field so where does 944 00:43:51,460 --> 00:43:49,640 it belong UFO encrypted what's 945 00:43:52,870 --> 00:43:51,470 interesting is sometimes we actually get 946 00:43:55,329 --> 00:43:52,880 crossovers between 947 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:55,339 things that go on in the UFO field and 948 00:43:59,559 --> 00:43:57,680 the golden cryptozoology for example the 949 00:44:02,650 --> 00:43:59,569 beam cases where people have seen 950 00:44:05,289 --> 00:44:02,660 strange lights in the sky hovering over 951 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:05,299 woods where people at the exact same 952 00:44:09,759 --> 00:44:07,490 time in place have seen Bigfoot at time 953 00:44:11,859 --> 00:44:09,769 creatures there are a number of 954 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:11,869 Chupacabra cases from Puerto Rico where 955 00:44:18,819 --> 00:44:14,930 people saw UFOs in conjunction with the 956 00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:18,829 chupacabra no you know it could be a 957 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:20,569 similar situation when you're talking 958 00:44:25,059 --> 00:44:22,880 about the reptilians and I mean I 959 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:25,069 actually have a a chapter in the book 960 00:44:29,740 --> 00:44:27,410 that talks about the reptilians and 961 00:44:31,359 --> 00:44:29,750 probably one of the creepiest cases of 962 00:44:35,859 --> 00:44:31,369 all that I've got because it deals with 963 00:44:37,299 --> 00:44:35,869 two very weird phenomenon and involves a 964 00:44:39,759 --> 00:44:37,309 woman I interviewed a couple of years 965 00:44:42,549 --> 00:44:39,769 ago who lives in Point Pleasant West 966 00:44:44,950 --> 00:44:42,559 Virginia which ironically is where all 967 00:44:47,740 --> 00:44:44,960 the original Mothman sightings began in 968 00:44:50,589 --> 00:44:47,750 the 60s but she had a real axe weed 969 00:44:52,539 --> 00:44:50,599 experience where like one night she was 970 00:44:54,609 --> 00:44:52,549 just watching TV like 11 o'clock at 971 00:44:56,140 --> 00:44:54,619 night and there was this loud knock on 972 00:44:58,299 --> 00:44:56,150 the door you know three or four knocks 973 00:45:00,549 --> 00:44:58,309 and she was she like well who on earth 974 00:45:03,039 --> 00:45:00,559 that you know so she kind of crept to 975 00:45:05,859 --> 00:45:03,049 the door looked through the spy hole and 976 00:45:07,950 --> 00:45:05,869 saw these two kids they're wearing black 977 00:45:10,660 --> 00:45:07,960 hoodies and they look really pale and 978 00:45:13,870 --> 00:45:10,670 they tried to find a way to get into the 979 00:45:17,170 --> 00:45:13,880 house and so they were hungry they were 980 00:45:18,940 --> 00:45:17,180 last etc etc and she just again kind of 981 00:45:21,039 --> 00:45:18,950 like with a lot of these phenomena she 982 00:45:23,170 --> 00:45:21,049 got this weird vibe from them I mean 983 00:45:24,849 --> 00:45:23,180 they suddenly looked up at her and they 984 00:45:27,309 --> 00:45:24,859 both got the solid black 985 00:45:29,380 --> 00:45:27,319 guys and this is known as the black-eyed 986 00:45:31,029 --> 00:45:29,390 children-- phenomenon and there's all 987 00:45:34,089 --> 00:45:31,039 sorts of different theories to what they 988 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:34,099 are you know paranormal alien-human 989 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:36,170 hybrids demonic you know that the list 990 00:45:41,140 --> 00:45:38,450 goes on and on but what was really weird 991 00:45:43,180 --> 00:45:41,150 she said that as she stared at them 992 00:45:45,519 --> 00:45:43,190 it was almost suddenly after a few 993 00:45:47,380 --> 00:45:45,529 seconds the you know what when you drive 994 00:45:49,150 --> 00:45:47,390 in the car and he's like really hot and 995 00:45:52,749 --> 00:45:49,160 there's a heat haze where the road kind 996 00:45:55,059 --> 00:45:52,759 of ripples and it was like that where 997 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:55,069 they they sort of rippled and she said 998 00:45:59,229 --> 00:45:57,170 they changed literally before on the 999 00:46:05,079 --> 00:45:59,239 other side of the door until these eight 1000 00:46:07,479 --> 00:46:05,089 foots or lizard Cyprien yeah and 1001 00:46:10,420 --> 00:46:07,489 obviously you know it scared the life 1002 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:10,430 out of it when she basically did was to 1003 00:46:15,759 --> 00:46:12,410 just run to the furthest part of the 1004 00:46:17,890 --> 00:46:15,769 apartment away from the door and finally 1005 00:46:20,170 --> 00:46:17,900 I think after a couple of hours she went 1006 00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:20,180 back to the door and know nothing was 1007 00:46:24,789 --> 00:46:22,400 there at all the kids or the the 1008 00:46:27,749 --> 00:46:24,799 reptilians but but that was like a 1009 00:46:30,309 --> 00:46:27,759 really creepy one and I got to say her 1010 00:46:34,269 --> 00:46:30,319 personally at one of the Mothman 1011 00:46:36,309 --> 00:46:34,279 festivals which I spoke at and you know 1012 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:36,319 she came across as just a normal 1013 00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:38,450 credible person but telling an 1014 00:46:45,609 --> 00:46:42,079 incredible story and you know she didn't 1015 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:45,619 come across crazy or you know anything 1016 00:46:51,099 --> 00:46:47,450 like that just had a really weird story 1017 00:46:52,690 --> 00:46:51,109 was was very concerned about not going 1018 00:46:55,210 --> 00:46:52,700 on the record and I said that's fine I 1019 00:46:56,769 --> 00:46:55,220 said you know I totally understand why 1020 00:46:59,859 --> 00:46:56,779 sometimes people don't want to go on the 1021 00:47:03,120 --> 00:46:59,869 record but yeah I mean it was just one 1022 00:47:06,039 --> 00:47:03,130 of those bizarre strange stories but you 1023 00:47:08,109 --> 00:47:06,049 know the reptilian angle he's an 1024 00:47:10,359 --> 00:47:08,119 interesting one because it's certainly 1025 00:47:12,519 --> 00:47:10,369 grown in the last 20 years or so 1026 00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:12,529 particularly you know with the whole 1027 00:47:17,079 --> 00:47:14,480 British royal family thing now 1028 00:47:18,549 --> 00:47:17,089 personally I'm not actually not a fan of 1029 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:18,559 the royal family I think they're kind of 1030 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:21,890 outdated but I don't personally think 1031 00:47:27,420 --> 00:47:24,650 they are reptiles now but what I do 1032 00:47:29,650 --> 00:47:27,430 believe is that there is a genuine 1033 00:47:32,229 --> 00:47:29,660 reptilian phenomenon I mean I've been 1034 00:47:34,599 --> 00:47:32,239 interviewed a lot of people who have 1035 00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:34,609 swore you know they saw somebody 1036 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:37,089 upstairs this is very after what happens 1037 00:47:40,330 --> 00:47:38,810 somebody gets that for 1038 00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:40,340 we all get from time to time when you 1039 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:42,110 think somebody's looking at you you know 1040 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:44,570 you're in the checkout line at the store 1041 00:47:48,670 --> 00:47:46,610 and you think someone's looking and you 1042 00:47:51,940 --> 00:47:48,680 turn around and somebody is watching you 1043 00:47:54,970 --> 00:47:51,950 now we can all do that even if we don't 1044 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:54,980 know why works but we all have that kind 1045 00:48:00,910 --> 00:47:57,290 of sense and only if you okay is where 1046 00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:00,920 people said they kind of looked at this 1047 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:04,910 person and it was as if the person was a 1048 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:07,570 reptilian and they realized that the 1049 00:48:13,210 --> 00:48:10,850 human knew there was something odd about 1050 00:48:15,250 --> 00:48:13,220 them you know as if their camouflage are 1051 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:15,260 being blown and so what they did they 1052 00:48:21,070 --> 00:48:18,770 allowed them to see their real form you 1053 00:48:22,510 --> 00:48:21,080 know like a reptilian very briefly for a 1054 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:22,520 couple of seconds and then change back 1055 00:48:28,270 --> 00:48:25,970 again oh my goodness yes I kind of 1056 00:48:31,420 --> 00:48:28,280 really freaked out the witness you know 1057 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:31,430 is if the creature was saying yeah okay 1058 00:48:35,740 --> 00:48:33,890 you picked up on something so I'll let 1059 00:48:38,650 --> 00:48:35,750 you see what I look like now what are 1060 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:38,660 you going to do about it you know shut 1061 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:42,770 their mouths and this is the first time 1062 00:48:48,250 --> 00:48:45,530 I have ever heard about black-eyed kids 1063 00:48:51,940 --> 00:48:48,260 morphing into reptilians I mean that's 1064 00:48:54,730 --> 00:48:51,950 an incredible event the only one I've 1065 00:48:59,800 --> 00:48:54,740 got the closest thing I can think of 1066 00:49:02,110 --> 00:48:59,810 that similar is that I did have one case 1067 00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:02,120 well it is kind of similar but it's 1068 00:49:09,010 --> 00:49:04,160 actually involved one of the black-eyed 1069 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:09,020 children and the after the black eye kid 1070 00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:11,810 had gone the witness just opened the 1071 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:13,250 front door like an hour or two later 1072 00:49:18,850 --> 00:49:15,970 just to make sure still wasn't there and 1073 00:49:21,790 --> 00:49:18,860 he said that he saw this sort of large 1074 00:49:24,310 --> 00:49:21,800 black dog with these glowing red eyes 1075 00:49:25,810 --> 00:49:24,320 just kind of prowling around the front 1076 00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:25,820 yard kind of the Hound of the 1077 00:49:31,420 --> 00:49:28,250 Baskervilles now he didn't see the 1078 00:49:34,090 --> 00:49:31,430 creature change into the black eye kid 1079 00:49:35,650 --> 00:49:34,100 or vice versa but he did admittedly feel 1080 00:49:37,330 --> 00:49:35,660 it was really strange that he should 1081 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:37,340 have seen a black eyed kid and then a 1082 00:49:42,090 --> 00:49:39,530 couple of hours out later he opened the 1083 00:49:44,890 --> 00:49:42,100 front door to see these sort of creepy 1084 00:49:48,490 --> 00:49:44,900 black no doubt dog more like a black 1085 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:48,500 man's yeah yeah around and he did make 1086 00:49:52,030 --> 00:49:50,930 that connection that you know he did ask 1087 00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:52,040 me you know do you think it could be one 1088 00:49:55,180 --> 00:49:52,640 of the side 1089 00:49:57,549 --> 00:49:55,190 well I don't know you know I can't 1090 00:50:01,420 --> 00:49:57,559 answer that question for sure but it is 1091 00:50:03,789 --> 00:50:01,430 kind of you know intriguing the two 1092 00:50:06,309 --> 00:50:03,799 phenomena should be within you know a 1093 00:50:08,710 --> 00:50:06,319 couple of hours each of each other in 1094 00:50:12,099 --> 00:50:08,720 the same area you know outside the same 1095 00:50:13,930 --> 00:50:12,109 house that's true and then Bluebird just 1096 00:50:15,789 --> 00:50:13,940 wrote in and you know Bluebird I'm glad 1097 00:50:17,170 --> 00:50:15,799 you said this because I remembered this 1098 00:50:18,910 --> 00:50:17,180 story actually wanted to get Billy 1099 00:50:22,660 --> 00:50:18,920 Corgan on our show to talk about it 1100 00:50:24,220 --> 00:50:22,670 Billy Corgan recently talked and on the 1101 00:50:27,490 --> 00:50:24,230 record I believe it was with Howard 1102 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:27,500 Stern about seeing someone shaved 1103 00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:31,010 shape-shift right in front of him it was 1104 00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:33,200 somebody in the music industry are you 1105 00:50:37,630 --> 00:50:35,510 familiar with that story Nick yeah it 1106 00:50:40,089 --> 00:50:37,640 was a billy corgan from the Smashing 1107 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:40,099 Pumpkins and yes but I mean it's 1108 00:50:45,490 --> 00:50:42,130 surprising really how many people 1109 00:50:48,039 --> 00:50:45,500 scooby-doo report these kinds of events 1110 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:48,049 whether it's you know somebody turning 1111 00:50:54,460 --> 00:50:50,930 into a reptilian or a you know a black 1112 00:50:58,569 --> 00:50:54,470 eye key turns into like a black dog or 1113 00:51:02,289 --> 00:50:58,579 the dog man phenomenon I think what 1114 00:51:05,460 --> 00:51:02,299 happens is that because we have like a 1115 00:51:08,019 --> 00:51:05,470 long lasting history and culture of 1116 00:51:10,180 --> 00:51:08,029 things like werewolves and you know the 1117 00:51:10,930 --> 00:51:10,190 mythology and the folklore that goes 1118 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:10,940 along with it 1119 00:51:15,970 --> 00:51:13,490 in today's world a lot of people dismiss 1120 00:51:19,539 --> 00:51:15,980 all this because they can't get past me 1121 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:19,549 like the image of Hollywood movies or TV 1122 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:22,490 shows you know and so they don't think 1123 00:51:28,660 --> 00:51:25,970 it's real but you know shape-shifting 1124 00:51:31,450 --> 00:51:28,670 covers every culture around the planets 1125 00:51:34,059 --> 00:51:31,460 and when that happens for me at least 1126 00:51:37,059 --> 00:51:34,069 you have to begin to accept that with 1127 00:51:39,609 --> 00:51:37,069 every culture has these stories and this 1128 00:51:41,289 --> 00:51:39,619 was long before you know aircraft and 1129 00:51:43,420 --> 00:51:41,299 ships and these you know different 1130 00:51:45,130 --> 00:51:43,430 cultures weren't even seen each other 1131 00:51:48,999 --> 00:51:45,140 you know live thousands of miles of 1132 00:51:52,210 --> 00:51:49,009 distance away then I think a good case 1133 00:51:55,210 --> 00:51:52,220 can be made that shapeshifters are real 1134 00:52:00,190 --> 00:51:55,220 and they're they're seen quite regularly 1135 00:52:02,349 --> 00:52:00,200 but people recognize the implications of 1136 00:52:04,450 --> 00:52:02,359 saying you've seen a shape-shifting 1137 00:52:06,580 --> 00:52:04,460 creature and so most people don't talk 1138 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:06,590 about it you 1139 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:09,050 and I think you know reading your book I 1140 00:52:13,150 --> 00:52:11,330 was kind of overwhelmed thinking about 1141 00:52:15,700 --> 00:52:13,160 all the different creatures that are 1142 00:52:17,970 --> 00:52:15,710 around us you know whether people want 1143 00:52:20,410 --> 00:52:17,980 to believe it or not they're here and 1144 00:52:22,210 --> 00:52:20,420 certainly people that have had personal 1145 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:22,220 experiences that have reached out to you 1146 00:52:26,740 --> 00:52:23,690 and share their stories know they're 1147 00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:26,750 real and you know they're real yeah I 1148 00:52:31,450 --> 00:52:28,430 mean one of the things I would point out 1149 00:52:34,420 --> 00:52:31,460 I mean anything paranormal but just just 1150 00:52:36,580 --> 00:52:34,430 show how nature works you know you take 1151 00:52:38,710 --> 00:52:36,590 a creature like a chameleon where it can 1152 00:52:41,860 --> 00:52:38,720 change its color to blend into the 1153 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:41,870 background you know so you know predator 1154 00:52:52,930 --> 00:52:44,330 animal doesn't see it and doesn't 1155 00:52:55,870 --> 00:52:52,940 recognize it for another short break 1156 00:52:59,140 --> 00:52:55,880 next mean interrupt but my producer is 1157 00:53:01,360 --> 00:52:59,150 waving at me here then we're going to 1158 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:01,370 take another very short break because he 1159 00:53:05,410 --> 00:53:02,930 wanting it back to

as 1173 00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:40,310 many stories as we can with Nick tonight 1174 00:53:44,530 --> 00:53:42,470 now somebody was asking Nick about owl 1175 00:53:48,070 --> 00:53:44,540 man can you talk to us a little bit 1176 00:53:50,890 --> 00:53:48,080 about that creature yes yeah well almond 1177 00:53:53,770 --> 00:53:50,900 is the British equivalent of masked man 1178 00:53:56,380 --> 00:53:53,780 now people don't know Mothman was this 1179 00:53:59,170 --> 00:53:56,390 creature first seen all these violent 1180 00:54:02,800 --> 00:53:59,180 name in Point Pleasant West Virginia in 1181 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:02,810 the latter part of 1966 through December 1182 00:54:08,470 --> 00:54:06,050 67 it was like a flying humanoid with 1183 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:08,480 these fiery red eyes and that's 1184 00:54:13,570 --> 00:54:10,850 basically what the owl man is in the UK 1185 00:54:16,780 --> 00:54:13,580 it's like a humanoid flying creature 1186 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:16,790 with these bright red eyes and again 1187 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:19,530 like with the Mothman this 1188 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:22,650 a lot of stories of disaster and 1189 00:54:29,390 --> 00:54:25,610 negativity surrounding this creature and 1190 00:54:31,820 --> 00:54:29,400 what's interesting is that there are in 1191 00:54:34,460 --> 00:54:31,830 relation to VL man there aspects of 1192 00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:34,470 shape-shifting for example one of the 1193 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:37,110 things I talk about is where people have 1194 00:54:41,390 --> 00:54:39,210 sort of been driving around the little 1195 00:54:44,290 --> 00:54:41,400 country roads in and around the area in 1196 00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:44,300 the county of Cornwall where people see 1197 00:54:52,970 --> 00:54:50,310 the real man and they've seen first what 1198 00:54:56,090 --> 00:54:52,980 they thought was just a regular kind of 1199 00:54:59,570 --> 00:54:56,100 owl and then as they got closer it was 1200 00:55:01,220 --> 00:54:59,580 as if it morphed into like a much larger 1201 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:01,230 creature sort of six to seven feet tall 1202 00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:02,850 what was weird 1203 00:55:10,310 --> 00:55:08,250 at the time they didn't think was 1204 00:55:12,260 --> 00:55:10,320 anything strange it was like oh that how 1205 00:55:15,290 --> 00:55:12,270 oldest changed you know from three foot 1206 00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:15,300 to foot six foot or whatever tell me 1207 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:16,710 afterwards that they got home that 1208 00:55:22,220 --> 00:55:19,170 they're like why didn't I think that was 1209 00:55:26,330 --> 00:55:22,230 strange and he was there was somehow 1210 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:26,340 mind controlled or hypnotized so that a 1211 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:29,370 lot of stories like that where as if the 1212 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:31,050 owl man has the ability to sort of 1213 00:55:35,810 --> 00:55:33,930 control the person for whatever reason 1214 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:35,820 we don't know but there are other cases 1215 00:55:41,330 --> 00:55:39,210 which cross over into the UFO issue 1216 00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:41,340 where sometimes people have been a 1217 00:55:45,830 --> 00:55:44,160 message in the US and in the UK where 1218 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:45,840 people have been driving home late at 1219 00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:49,890 night and when they get home these kind 1220 00:55:53,270 --> 00:55:51,660 of feel a little bit odd as if the 1221 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:53,280 journey took longer than they should 1222 00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:55,530 have done and they're a little bit 1223 00:56:00,170 --> 00:55:58,050 muddled or puzzled and the only thing 1224 00:56:02,630 --> 00:56:00,180 they can remember is that they saw this 1225 00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:02,640 large owl standing at the side of the 1226 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:05,730 road again sort of at five feet tall you 1227 00:56:11,420 --> 00:56:08,010 know which under normal circumstances 1228 00:56:13,190 --> 00:56:11,430 were being possible but then they start 1229 00:56:17,090 --> 00:56:13,200 getting these weird nightmares and 1230 00:56:20,810 --> 00:56:17,100 dreams where the wall where the the owl 1231 00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:20,820 was actually like a screen memory for an 1232 00:56:26,510 --> 00:56:23,280 alien abduction in other words if the 1233 00:56:29,750 --> 00:56:26,520 alien saying you'll remember seeing an 1234 00:56:31,220 --> 00:56:29,760 owl instead of what really happened now 1235 00:56:33,260 --> 00:56:31,230 the people who don't know scream 1236 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:33,270 memories are a reality 1237 00:56:37,430 --> 00:56:34,170 you know if you have a traumatic 1238 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:37,440 experience the mind covers it up by 1239 00:56:42,530 --> 00:56:40,890 creating a fantasy and you don't do it 1240 00:56:44,330 --> 00:56:42,540 deliberately you know it just happens 1241 00:56:47,570 --> 00:56:44,340 it's kind of like somebody sees a really 1242 00:56:50,750 --> 00:56:47,580 bad car accident but then two weeks 1243 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:50,760 later they cannot remember properly the 1244 00:56:55,070 --> 00:56:53,370 graphic images of the injuries of the 1245 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:55,080 person you know another person might 1246 00:56:59,870 --> 00:56:56,970 have had because the brain kind of 1247 00:57:02,480 --> 00:56:59,880 cushions itself you know so you don't 1248 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:02,490 you know constantly cause there's no 1249 00:57:09,470 --> 00:57:05,610 insurable images yeah and it's kind of 1250 00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:09,480 like that we've deliberately inserted 1251 00:57:15,470 --> 00:57:11,730 screen memories you know the idea that 1252 00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:15,480 these aliens if you like could create a 1253 00:57:21,110 --> 00:57:18,570 screen image so they they haven't 1254 00:57:24,170 --> 00:57:21,120 physically shape-shifted but the the 1255 00:57:26,270 --> 00:57:24,180 alien at the edge of the road in terms 1256 00:57:29,450 --> 00:57:26,280 of the person's mind its shape shifts 1257 00:57:32,090 --> 00:57:29,460 but into that of like a giant owl so I 1258 00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:32,100 think the almond phenomenon could 1259 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:35,640 somehow be tied in with these similar 1260 00:57:41,330 --> 00:57:38,970 large owl stories that that tie with the 1261 00:57:44,450 --> 00:57:41,340 whole alien abduction phenomenon that's 1262 00:57:47,390 --> 00:57:44,460 interesting yes yeah there was a movie 1263 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:47,400 about abductions in Alaska and they all 1264 00:57:52,310 --> 00:57:50,130 had the owl it's kind of a motif that 1265 00:57:53,330 --> 00:57:52,320 they remembered and very little else but 1266 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:53,340 they were terrified 1267 00:57:58,970 --> 00:57:55,890 just seeing the owls so you know that's 1268 00:58:00,920 --> 00:57:58,980 an interesting screen memory so it 1269 00:58:02,810 --> 00:58:00,930 here's another thing that we wanted to 1270 00:58:06,950 --> 00:58:02,820 talk to you about that's just so many 1271 00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:06,960 but serious shapeshifters of all you 1272 00:58:13,730 --> 00:58:09,810 have a chapter on that who are the 1273 00:58:15,350 --> 00:58:13,740 scariest ones mm-hmm well I'm not sure 1274 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:15,360 if ever scares but there's only the most 1275 00:58:21,650 --> 00:58:18,570 dangerous ones one of them would be the 1276 00:58:25,580 --> 00:58:21,660 wendi-go a creature that features 1277 00:58:27,950 --> 00:58:25,590 prominently in Native American law in be 1278 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:27,960 sort of northern parts of the US and and 1279 00:58:33,980 --> 00:58:31,370 into Canada now there are a lot of 1280 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:33,990 stories and some some of them kind of 1281 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:37,050 clash in terms of what the wendi-go is 1282 00:58:43,940 --> 00:58:41,490 now one theory is that or one of the 1283 00:58:46,730 --> 00:58:43,950 belief systems was in Native American 1284 00:58:47,210 --> 00:58:46,740 law was that if somebody would sort of 1285 00:58:50,270 --> 00:58:47,220 go 1286 00:58:52,550 --> 00:58:50,280 and live in the woods and turned to 1287 00:58:55,750 --> 00:58:52,560 cannibalism then they would transform 1288 00:59:01,100 --> 00:58:55,760 into this sort of marauding giant 1289 00:59:03,710 --> 00:59:01,110 humanoid known as the Wendigo and it 1290 00:59:06,470 --> 00:59:03,720 would attack people and kill them and 1291 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:06,480 eat them and it would take on from its 1292 00:59:11,420 --> 00:59:09,210 original human form more like a savage 1293 00:59:13,910 --> 00:59:11,430 beast like creature even though it would 1294 00:59:17,450 --> 00:59:13,920 have sort of two arms two legs and a 1295 00:59:20,540 --> 00:59:17,460 head now some people are suggesting that 1296 00:59:22,490 --> 00:59:20,550 maybe possibly what people were talking 1297 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:22,500 about we're actually very violent 1298 00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:25,050 dangerous Bigfoot's and that over the 1299 00:59:29,180 --> 00:59:27,330 years sightings of these dangerous 1300 00:59:31,910 --> 00:59:29,190 Bigfoot you know looking for food in the 1301 00:59:35,690 --> 00:59:31,920 winter months possibly attacked people 1302 00:59:37,070 --> 00:59:35,700 and possibly cases like that may have 1303 00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:37,080 been responsible for some of these 1304 00:59:42,410 --> 00:59:39,510 Wendigo reports but then there are other 1305 00:59:44,110 --> 00:59:42,420 stories where for example the Wendigo is 1306 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:44,120 seen as like a cannibalistic 1307 00:59:51,500 --> 00:59:47,250 supernatural creature which can take on 1308 00:59:54,530 --> 00:59:51,510 or possess the mind of a human being so 1309 00:59:57,020 --> 00:59:54,540 it's kind of like again me I mentioned 1310 00:59:59,810 --> 00:59:57,030 briefly earlier in in relation to the 1311 01:00:02,900 --> 00:59:59,820 wendi-go we could be looking at like not 1312 01:00:05,060 --> 01:00:02,910 a like a shape-shifting physically but a 1313 01:00:08,180 --> 01:00:05,070 mind shifting where the Wendigo takes 1314 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:08,190 over the mind of the person and then 1315 01:00:12,980 --> 01:00:10,890 goes on this killing rampage or it could 1316 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:12,990 be a combination of all these different 1317 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:15,810 factors but but what it does boil down 1318 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:17,850 to is that within Native American law 1319 01:00:24,260 --> 01:00:21,570 the the wendi-go however you describe it 1320 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:24,270 is sort of a definitive shape-shifter 1321 01:00:29,420 --> 01:00:27,450 and and dangerous because the thing that 1322 01:00:38,780 --> 01:00:29,430 it was associated with more than 1323 01:00:41,630 --> 01:00:38,790 anything else was cannibalism so take a 1324 01:00:43,070 --> 01:00:41,640 pass on that experience yeah I mean now 1325 01:00:45,890 --> 01:00:43,080 also with the Wendigo I've heard that 1326 01:00:48,170 --> 01:00:45,900 they are consumed with hunger it's one 1327 01:00:50,900 --> 01:00:48,180 of the things that makes them so 1328 01:00:52,250 --> 01:00:50,910 dangerous have you heard that yeah this 1329 01:00:54,470 --> 01:00:52,260 actually ties it with a similar 1330 01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:54,480 phenomena known as The Hungry Ghost and 1331 01:01:00,559 --> 01:00:57,690 and they're sort of driven to constantly 1332 01:01:03,019 --> 01:01:00,569 eight you know they have this sort of 1333 01:01:07,370 --> 01:01:03,029 almost like a starvation mode where 1334 01:01:09,919 --> 01:01:07,380 they're just crazy for food and but yeah 1335 01:01:11,900 --> 01:01:09,929 again it's interesting you can find the 1336 01:01:14,209 --> 01:01:11,910 stories of similar to the wendi-go but 1337 01:01:15,769 --> 01:01:14,219 where they call them The Hungry Ghost 1338 01:01:19,339 --> 01:01:15,779 see the hungry ghosts are quite 1339 01:01:21,140 --> 01:01:19,349 prevalent in Indian legends and Chinese 1340 01:01:24,380 --> 01:01:21,150 legends and again they're sort of 1341 01:01:27,140 --> 01:01:24,390 they're driven to just ate all the time 1342 01:01:29,630 --> 01:01:27,150 and but you never they're never 1343 01:01:30,799 --> 01:01:29,640 satisfied you know so again it's 1344 01:01:34,519 --> 01:01:30,809 interesting that you've got almost 1345 01:01:37,429 --> 01:01:34,529 parallel stories from Canada from Alaska 1346 01:01:39,259 --> 01:01:37,439 and ride across to China and India and 1347 01:01:41,719 --> 01:01:39,269 going back thousands of years 1348 01:01:43,309 --> 01:01:41,729 when supposedly you know we didn't even 1349 01:01:45,699 --> 01:01:43,319 know the other countries were there but 1350 01:01:48,349 --> 01:01:45,709 their tales are almost identical 1351 01:01:50,449 --> 01:01:48,359 it's incredible and I think we've found 1352 01:01:53,089 --> 01:01:50,459 ways it's scary it's so scary to some of 1353 01:01:55,039 --> 01:01:53,099 us that we found ways to to try to bury 1354 01:01:56,900 --> 01:01:55,049 it but it's these things they keep 1355 01:01:58,789 --> 01:01:56,910 surfacing and more and more people are 1356 01:02:00,499 --> 01:01:58,799 coming forward because they have the 1357 01:02:02,959 --> 01:02:00,509 sympathetic ear of people like you who 1358 01:02:05,659 --> 01:02:02,969 are kind enough to listen and respect 1359 01:02:06,859 --> 01:02:05,669 their story so that makes a big 1360 01:02:09,079 --> 01:02:06,869 difference that work that you're doing 1361 01:02:11,419 --> 01:02:09,089 and bringing this out I think Nick is 1362 01:02:16,870 --> 01:02:11,429 extremely important so thank you for 1363 01:02:20,959 --> 01:02:19,069 without the witnesses we've got nothing 1364 01:02:24,169 --> 01:02:20,969 to go on and so I think it's important 1365 01:02:26,449 --> 01:02:24,179 to respect the witnesses because they're 1366 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:26,459 the ones who had the experiences and so 1367 01:02:30,949 --> 01:02:28,650 that's why you know I'm always happy to 1368 01:02:33,140 --> 01:02:30,959 listen if somebody says yes you can use 1369 01:02:35,239 --> 01:02:33,150 the story my real name that's great if 1370 01:02:37,669 --> 01:02:35,249 they say you can use the story but I'd 1371 01:02:39,589 --> 01:02:37,679 rather not be named then I'd never do 1372 01:02:41,870 --> 01:02:39,599 name them you know I think it's always 1373 01:02:45,079 --> 01:02:41,880 important to have respect for the person 1374 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:45,089 who's sharing the story you know and not 1375 01:02:54,109 --> 01:02:50,130 kind of you know go against their their 1376 01:02:56,209 --> 01:02:54,119 wishes or whatever but yeah that's a big 1377 01:02:58,549 --> 01:02:56,219 help to all of us now here's a question 1378 01:03:01,699 --> 01:02:58,559 from Kari who's asking do you have any 1379 01:03:04,459 --> 01:03:01,709 reports from big-game hunters who have 1380 01:03:09,610 --> 01:03:04,469 reported seeing unrecognizable creatures 1381 01:03:09,620 --> 01:03:12,760 [Music] 1382 01:03:19,150 --> 01:03:16,099 the only things I can think of I know a 1383 01:03:21,589 --> 01:03:19,160 few Bigfoot cases where hunters did 1384 01:03:26,059 --> 01:03:21,599 officially file a report you know it 1385 01:03:29,299 --> 01:03:26,069 like the forestry organizations I know a 1386 01:03:31,670 --> 01:03:29,309 few people in the forestry offices 1387 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:31,680 around the u.s. have been approached by 1388 01:03:37,670 --> 01:03:34,170 people who said they saw a bigfoot-type 1389 01:03:39,500 --> 01:03:37,680 creature now you know for the most part 1390 01:03:41,839 --> 01:03:39,510 they they will love their story you know 1391 01:03:45,319 --> 01:03:41,849 if you officially want to report 1392 01:03:46,609 --> 01:03:45,329 something they will they'll file it you 1393 01:03:48,380 --> 01:03:46,619 know in the same way if you call the 1394 01:03:51,410 --> 01:03:48,390 police if you see you say you've seen a 1395 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:51,420 UFO and you insist they vestigators I 1396 01:03:56,569 --> 01:03:53,490 mean you insist they make a note of it 1397 01:04:00,140 --> 01:03:56,579 they will but they're also you know 1398 01:04:03,140 --> 01:04:00,150 conspiracy theories surrounding you know 1399 01:04:06,319 --> 01:04:03,150 forestry organizations knowing more 1400 01:04:08,980 --> 01:04:06,329 about the existence of Bigfoot and that 1401 01:04:11,299 --> 01:04:08,990 there's some sort of cover-up going on 1402 01:04:13,849 --> 01:04:11,309 you can find a number of stories like 1403 01:04:17,470 --> 01:04:13,859 that but that's probably the closest I 1404 01:04:20,420 --> 01:04:17,480 can think of you know that that would 1405 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:20,430 yeah I mean there are a lot of mysteries 1406 01:04:29,390 --> 01:04:22,890 about disappearances in our national 1407 01:04:31,130 --> 01:04:29,400 parks that's for sure where I kind of 1408 01:04:33,380 --> 01:04:31,140 play it down because they don't want 1409 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:33,390 people panicking that there are you know 1410 01:04:39,140 --> 01:04:35,970 sort of killer Bigfoot running around or 1411 01:04:40,849 --> 01:04:39,150 whatever yeah and they don't want people 1412 01:04:43,789 --> 01:04:40,859 to stop spending money there that's 1413 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:43,799 really the reason so good point a good 1414 01:04:46,430 --> 01:04:44,250 point 1415 01:04:48,980 --> 01:04:46,440 you know it's it's amazing that over the 1416 01:04:52,789 --> 01:04:48,990 years how each civilization as you say 1417 01:04:56,569 --> 01:04:52,799 China States or ever they all have that 1418 01:05:00,260 --> 01:04:56,579 background where you'll see sketches or 1419 01:05:02,150 --> 01:05:00,270 pictures of the same things but from 1420 01:05:05,210 --> 01:05:02,160 totally different aspects that nobody 1421 01:05:06,980 --> 01:05:05,220 knew the other one existed and yet when 1422 01:05:09,260 --> 01:05:06,990 we go back and take a look at it like 1423 01:05:13,059 --> 01:05:09,270 the Egyptians with the head of the 1424 01:05:16,220 --> 01:05:13,069 animal versus and how many religions or 1425 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:16,230 peoples have that type of thing I'm 1426 01:05:21,770 --> 01:05:20,130 going yeah that's it for me that's one 1427 01:05:24,620 --> 01:05:21,780 of the most important things when you 1428 01:05:26,780 --> 01:05:24,630 have similar stories 1429 01:05:29,870 --> 01:05:26,790 from a massive amount of distance away 1430 01:05:31,940 --> 01:05:29,880 but to me that's a good point too we're 1431 01:05:34,220 --> 01:05:31,950 not talking about fantasies or folklore 1432 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:34,230 you know it's it's a real phenomenon 1433 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:36,450 even if we're not really sure what the 1434 01:05:48,620 --> 01:05:40,170 phenomenon actually is do you have a 1435 01:05:51,290 --> 01:05:48,630 favorite Krypton Nick lot of interest in 1436 01:05:53,330 --> 01:05:51,300 the the Puerto Rican Chupacabra because 1437 01:05:55,940 --> 01:05:53,340 I've been there so many times looking 1438 01:05:59,000 --> 01:05:55,950 for the chupacabra probably 9 or 10 1439 01:06:01,460 --> 01:05:59,010 times now you know and I like I like 1440 01:06:04,550 --> 01:06:01,470 Puerto Rico anyway you know son one the 1441 01:06:07,940 --> 01:06:04,560 Capitals sort of this cross between you 1442 01:06:10,970 --> 01:06:07,950 know four hundred year old little areas 1443 01:06:13,550 --> 01:06:10,980 you know their streets and you know even 1444 01:06:15,500 --> 01:06:13,560 some of the old buildings there and the 1445 01:06:19,130 --> 01:06:15,510 Pirates were invading and then you've 1446 01:06:22,070 --> 01:06:19,140 got sort of new part of San Juan so so I 1447 01:06:22,700 --> 01:06:22,080 guess you know the the chupacabra is one 1448 01:06:26,330 --> 01:06:22,710 of them 1449 01:06:29,300 --> 01:06:26,340 but the I guess another one as well 1450 01:06:31,730 --> 01:06:29,310 would be the whole issue of the men in 1451 01:06:33,620 --> 01:06:31,740 black now people think of the man in 1452 01:06:37,310 --> 01:06:33,630 black you know they

--> 01:09:03,869 teeth that are sharper than metal so I 1508 01:09:08,570 --> 01:09:05,429 wouldn't want to be chased by one of 1509 01:09:09,950 --> 01:09:08,580 them that's for sure Yami's interesting 1510 01:09:12,050 --> 01:09:09,960 you said about being chased because 1511 01:09:14,930 --> 01:09:12,060 they're particularly with the british 1512 01:09:16,910 --> 01:09:14,940 reports if you go about four or five 1513 01:09:19,189 --> 01:09:16,920 hundred years if you were to see one of 1514 01:09:22,039 --> 01:09:19,199 these black dogs it was supposedly like 1515 01:09:24,979 --> 01:09:22,049 a precursor for death or tragedy that 1516 01:09:28,309 --> 01:09:24,989 somebody was gonna die who you knew or 1517 01:09:30,229 --> 01:09:28,319 you might die yourself and interesting 1518 01:09:32,329 --> 01:09:30,239 enough if you again if you do a google 1519 01:09:35,780 --> 01:09:32,339 search there's a lot of pubs in england 1520 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:35,790 called the black dog and and one of the 1521 01:09:40,669 --> 01:09:38,250 reasons is because if you look back into 1522 01:09:42,950 --> 01:09:40,679 the history of most of those black dog 1523 01:09:44,660 --> 01:09:42,960 pubs in england you'll find that there's 1524 01:09:46,970 --> 01:09:44,670 a legend in that little village or that 1525 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:46,980 little town where there was a ghostly 1526 01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:48,810 black dog and that's why they they named 1527 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:51,289 the pubs after them Sir 1528 01:09:55,569 --> 01:09:53,210 it's so fascinating now here's a 1529 01:09:59,229 --> 01:09:55,579 question this is from new guy who's 1530 01:10:02,609 --> 01:09:59,239 asking what about pod wedgies would you 1531 01:10:06,669 --> 01:10:02,619 say they would be classified as cryptids 1532 01:10:11,500 --> 01:10:06,679 sorry hug wedgies have you heard of 1533 01:10:13,029 --> 01:10:11,510 those oh yeah well yeah I think you know 1534 01:10:16,060 --> 01:10:13,039 a lot the little people you mean that's 1535 01:10:17,830 --> 01:10:16,070 kind of thing yeah but they're kind Asti 1536 01:10:21,250 --> 01:10:17,840 they call your name and they try to 1537 01:10:23,799 --> 01:10:21,260 trick you follow them and yeah no I 1538 01:10:25,689 --> 01:10:23,809 think actually you can personal I kind 1539 01:10:28,330 --> 01:10:25,699 of lump all those together your stories 1540 01:10:31,450 --> 01:10:28,340 of goblins fairies the little people you 1541 01:10:34,629 --> 01:10:31,460 know and it's important to know when 1542 01:10:36,540 --> 01:10:34,639 people talk about fairies today you know 1543 01:10:39,250 --> 01:10:36,550 they think of an image of like a little 1544 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:39,260 girl with wings flitting around a 1545 01:10:43,660 --> 01:10:41,210 Christmas tree you know and you know 1546 01:10:45,669 --> 01:10:43,670 magic wand in a hand that sort of the 1547 01:10:48,819 --> 01:10:45,679 image of people had of fairies in the 1548 01:10:51,339 --> 01:10:48,829 last century or so but if you look at 1549 01:10:53,169 --> 01:10:51,349 these the real stories going back 1550 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:53,179 centuries they're actually nothing like 1551 01:10:57,870 --> 01:10:55,489 that they were described as sort of 1552 01:11:00,819 --> 01:10:57,880 little you know two to three foot tall 1553 01:11:03,339 --> 01:11:00,829 humanoid creatures which very often 1554 01:11:05,830 --> 01:11:03,349 would come out at night they would live 1555 01:11:08,049 --> 01:11:05,840 deep underground in tunnels or under 1556 01:11:11,319 --> 01:11:08,059 ancient mounds you know and they would 1557 01:11:14,229 --> 01:11:11,329 steal food sometimes I would be friendly 1558 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:14,239 sometimes they would be kind of 1559 01:11:17,950 --> 01:11:16,610 ambivalence there could be tricks to 1560 01:11:20,290 --> 01:11:17,960 like and sometimes I'll be downright 1561 01:11:23,049 --> 01:11:20,300 dangerous and deadly depending on the 1562 01:11:24,939 --> 01:11:23,059 mood that took them but yeah I think all 1563 01:11:27,189 --> 01:11:24,949 of these kind of things these sort of 1564 01:11:29,919 --> 01:11:27,199 little people that live in the woods and 1565 01:11:32,979 --> 01:11:29,929 kind in trance here and take you away 1566 01:11:36,399 --> 01:11:32,989 and play games with you not in a good 1567 01:11:39,970 --> 01:11:36,409 way I mean and it's almost as if they 1568 01:11:41,379 --> 01:11:39,980 just enjoy taunting the human race but 1569 01:11:44,169 --> 01:11:41,389 again it's like some of the other things 1570 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:44,179 I spoke about earlier you start talking 1571 01:11:48,759 --> 01:11:45,530 about the little people they think about 1572 01:11:53,009 --> 01:11:48,769 fairies and record with Irish accents 1573 01:12:00,069 --> 01:11:56,379 the folklore version but stories are 1574 01:12:02,470 --> 01:12:00,079 very sinister little people savage 1575 01:12:04,209 --> 01:12:02,480 little people can be found all over the 1576 01:12:05,380 --> 01:12:04,219 place I've actually got quite a few from 1577 01:12:06,700 --> 01:12:05,390 the you 1578 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:06,710 particularly the forests of the 1579 01:12:12,010 --> 01:12:10,010 Northwest you know Washington State are 1580 01:12:13,870 --> 01:12:12,020 even places like that where I've got 1581 01:12:16,780 --> 01:12:13,880 several cases where people swore they 1582 01:12:19,090 --> 01:12:16,790 saw these little people these little 1583 01:12:21,850 --> 01:12:19,100 wise and creatures if you like and they 1584 01:12:23,770 --> 01:12:21,860 got a really sense of malevolence for 1585 01:12:27,580 --> 01:12:23,780 them the fact that you know they 1586 01:12:29,950 --> 01:12:27,590 somebody had stumble on them and one of 1587 01:12:31,690 --> 01:12:29,960 the guys I spoke to actually he was so 1588 01:12:34,300 --> 01:12:31,700 affected by it that he sort of spent 1589 01:12:36,490 --> 01:12:34,310 years investigating these reports not 1590 01:12:38,350 --> 01:12:36,500 officially as a researcher but you know 1591 01:12:40,810 --> 01:12:38,360 just on his own for his own personal 1592 01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:40,820 interests me he believed and still does 1593 01:12:46,390 --> 01:12:43,490 believe that they were like some sort of 1594 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:46,400 ancient offshoot of us the human race 1595 01:12:52,660 --> 01:12:48,770 but Almond like a pygmy version that 1596 01:12:56,440 --> 01:12:52,670 kind of thing yeah you know that leaves 1597 01:12:59,170 --> 01:12:56,450 outside of society but he's somehow an 1598 01:13:02,230 --> 01:12:59,180 ancient type of early humanoid if you 1599 01:13:03,970 --> 01:13:02,240 like let me take us back to men in black 1600 01:13:05,890 --> 01:13:03,980 because I know that's also one of your 1601 01:13:06,670 --> 01:13:05,900 favorite topics and I know you did a 1602 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:06,680 book on it 1603 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:10,810 what do you think they are they androids 1604 01:13:24,220 --> 01:13:21,890 five books in a few months but it's kind 1605 01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:24,230 of ironic that everybody thinks the 1606 01:13:28,690 --> 01:13:25,970 burning black of government agents and 1607 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:28,700 that comes really from the massive 1608 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:31,130 success of the movies but the movies 1609 01:13:35,290 --> 01:13:33,530 portrayed the man in black is working 1610 01:13:38,260 --> 01:13:35,300 for a government agency but as I said 1611 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:38,270 most people describe them as extremely 1612 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:40,130 pale you know the skins like a sheet of 1613 01:13:48,550 --> 01:13:45,530 yes wearing makeup and stuff yeah number 1614 01:13:50,230 --> 01:13:48,560 of cases where you know people normally 1615 01:13:51,910 --> 01:13:50,240 wouldn't let them in but people do let 1616 01:13:54,430 --> 01:13:51,920 their being late at night as if they're 1617 01:13:57,460 --> 01:13:54,440 being mind-controlled the cases where 1618 01:14:00,160 --> 01:13:57,470 people are fallen sick after being close 1619 01:14:01,780 --> 01:14:00,170 proximity to the man in black as if all 1620 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:01,790 they've been sort of supernaturally 1621 01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:04,970 infected somehow in several cases where 1622 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:07,490 people had seen the men in black in 1623 01:14:11,710 --> 01:14:09,530 their bedroom late at night right after 1624 01:14:15,370 --> 01:14:11,720 using Ouija boards as if they'd sort of 1625 01:14:17,050 --> 01:14:15,380 opened a portal or a doorway so in kind 1626 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:17,060 of ironic that the least likely 1627 01:14:20,100 --> 01:14:18,130 explanation for 1628 01:14:22,709 --> 01:14:20,110 man in black they said they come from 1629 01:14:25,470 --> 01:14:22,719 the government the more the far more 1630 01:14:27,810 --> 01:14:25,480 likely explanation is that there's 1631 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:27,820 something supernatural which which are 1632 01:14:33,660 --> 01:14:29,650 tied in with things like the shadow 1633 01:14:36,060 --> 01:14:33,670 people the black-eyed children and 1634 01:14:38,939 --> 01:14:36,070 there's another one known as the Hat man 1635 01:14:41,220 --> 01:14:38,949 and even when people talk today about 1636 01:14:44,459 --> 01:14:41,230 seeing the Slender Man which the Slender 1637 01:14:46,379 --> 01:14:44,469 Man kind of looks like a man in black as 1638 01:14:49,050 --> 01:14:46,389 well and I think all these things are 1639 01:14:51,689 --> 01:14:49,060 somehow interlinked you know they're all 1640 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:51,699 from manifestations of one phenomenon 1641 01:14:55,350 --> 01:14:53,530 well I think one of the reasons people 1642 01:14:57,899 --> 01:14:55,360 think it's from a government agency is 1643 01:14:59,399 --> 01:14:57,909 because people get visits from the men 1644 01:15:01,649 --> 01:14:59,409 in black after they've had a UFO 1645 01:15:03,870 --> 01:15:01,659 experience and is threatened by them and 1646 01:15:05,850 --> 01:15:03,880 told not to talk about it so there it 1647 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:05,860 does beg the question of why would they 1648 01:15:11,700 --> 01:15:08,170 say that if they weren't with an agency 1649 01:15:14,340 --> 01:15:11,710 or some yeah one of the theories is that 1650 01:15:16,110 --> 01:15:14,350 you know it's the phenomenon the UFO 1651 01:15:18,270 --> 01:15:16,120 phenomenon itself that what doesn't want 1652 01:15:20,879 --> 01:15:18,280 to be uncovered and so they send out 1653 01:15:24,270 --> 01:15:20,889 their own agency if you like so in other 1654 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:24,280 words they are some sort of agents but 1655 01:15:40,470 --> 01:15:34,449 they're not necessarily our I never want 1656 01:15:42,930 --> 01:15:40,480 to see them they sound repulsive women 1657 01:15:44,790 --> 01:15:42,940 in black reports and under women are 1658 01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:44,800 kind of the same where their skin is 1659 01:15:50,490 --> 01:15:47,530 very pale but where is the man in black 1660 01:15:53,010 --> 01:15:50,500 where these old-style black fedoras the 1661 01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:53,020 women usually have these long black wigs 1662 01:15:58,500 --> 01:15:56,650 like in a bang style and this has given 1663 01:16:00,419 --> 01:15:58,510 rise to the idea that again the women in 1664 01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:00,429 black don't look entirely human because 1665 01:16:04,050 --> 01:16:02,170 you know like try and cover as much of 1666 01:16:07,830 --> 01:16:04,060 the face as they can with these wigs and 1667 01:16:09,450 --> 01:16:07,840 they also wear the big sunglasses and 1668 01:16:11,550 --> 01:16:09,460 people said as they've been close to 1669 01:16:14,010 --> 01:16:11,560 them they've noticed you know the cats 1670 01:16:16,260 --> 01:16:14,020 that their eyes are almost like cat eyes 1671 01:16:22,350 --> 01:16:16,270 that bulging you know like a vertical 1672 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:22,360 slit kind of thing so wow they look like 1673 01:16:31,949 --> 01:16:25,210 a the far less x-files and for far more 1674 01:16:35,250 --> 01:16:33,629 now
