maybe this is maybe this is one of these 19 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:39,369 bigfoot-type creatures I I did find a 20 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:41,810 nest out back and I found some 21 00:01:46,899 --> 00:01:44,960 footprints and the soft soil so I think 22 00:01:49,899 --> 00:01:46,909 maybe I don't know how to capture one of 23 00:01:53,770 --> 00:01:49,909 these or even if I should perhaps we'll 24 00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:53,780 ask our guest tonight would you say Tim 25 00:01:59,080 --> 00:01:57,350 maybe I should ask the guest you gotta 26 00:02:01,060 --> 00:01:59,090 catch him if you have the opportunity 27 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:01,070 it's really special when you can 28 00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:05,330 actually capture one well I I don't know 29 00:02:09,609 --> 00:02:08,239 they're they're really huge and I don't 30 00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:09,619 know whether they're deadly or not do 31 00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:12,080 you think they're deadly occasionally 32 00:02:16,030 --> 00:02:13,940 they're known to rip people's arms off 33 00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:16,040 and beat them with their own fists so I 34 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:19,160 would say probably a little boy oh boy 35 00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:22,010 so Tim why don't you tell us who who our 36 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:24,920 guests are this evening before I get my 37 00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:28,690 arms ripped off I guess Bigfoot got him 38 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:34,280 I have to beat the the the clock well I 39 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:37,910 know we have Peter Bernard who's a 40 00:02:44,770 --> 00:02:41,840 actually a

00:02:51,230 animation that's been done 44 00:02:56,890 --> 00:02:53,450 peter is responsible for that because he 45 00:02:59,520 --> 00:02:56,900 is one of the best I would say animators 46 00:03:05,400 --> 00:02:59,530 or cartoonist I want to find out exactly 47 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:05,410 what he identifies himself as because 48 00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:08,000 what what do you identify

Seth's movies I love the 52 00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:16,250 creepy animation in Seth's movies but 53 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:19,489 you haven't introduced them yet and if 54 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:24,410

Breedlove and I'm a film director 75 00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:28,220 occasional writer and I've been doing a 76 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,620 series called small town monsters for 77 00:04:35,469 --> 00:04:32,960 about three years now we we made a movie 78 00:04:38,350 --> 00:04:35,479 called Minerva monster and beast of 79 00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:38,360 Whitehall another one called boggy creek 80 00:04:43,089 --> 00:04:40,070 monster which we discussed with you guys 81 00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:43,099 actually on the show and this year we've 82 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:45,950 released the mosque the mosque manna 83 00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:48,289 Point Pleasant back in June and we are 84 00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:51,160 really saying invasion on Chestnut Ridge 85 00:04:59,409 --> 00:04:55,030 next weekend and mostly they are 86 00:05:02,260 --> 00:04:59,419 small-town monster stories located in 87 00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:02,270 like rural communities that focus on the 88 00:05:06,630 --> 00:05:03,710 impact of a 89 00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:06,640 legends on on the surrounding area and 90 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:09,620 but my background is not necessarily 91 00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:13,520 film my background is actually newspaper 92 00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:16,940 journalism and writing more so than than 93 00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:18,860 filmic I've only been doing this this 94 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:21,110 for about three years now and I'm all 95 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:24,410 entirely self-taught at this point well 96 00:05:29,410 --> 00:05:27,110 they're just like I I used to do with 97 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,420 Tim we did a series of horror movies and 98 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:32,000 Tim had more experience and I did but we 99 00:05:36,220 --> 00:05:34,250 were pretty self taught and they still 100 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:36,230 came out pretty great I didn't on this 101 00:05:41,350 --> 00:05:38,690 they're still up there and making it 102 00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:41,360 making the the rounds how did you pick 103 00:05:47,650 --> 00:05:45,190 the the subject that matter um the the 104 00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:47,660 whole thing started out as a book 105 00:05:53,170 --> 00:05:50,060 proposal called small town monsters and 106 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:53,180 I picked these particular stories 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:05:56,690 because they were ones that I I had kind 108 00:06:02,140 --> 00:05:59,690 of learned about myself when I was first 109 00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:02,150 getting into like Bigfoot and the 110 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:04,460 paranormal and I believe I did have the 111 00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,570 Mothman story and the flatwoods story in 112 00:06:12,310 --> 00:06:10,400 my book proposal because those are 113 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:12,320 stories that I've always kind of loved 114 00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:15,890 especially Mothman I don't think at the 115 00:06:20,470 --> 00:06:18,440 time I was very aware of of flatwoods or 116 00:06:23,140 --> 00:06:20,480 at least not as aware of it as I am 117 00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:23,150 today but the Mothman story has always 118 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:26,150 been a big influence on me because the 119 00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:29,090 the Mothman Prophecies film is one of 120 00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:30,860 the things that kind of got me into all 121 00:06:36,490 --> 00:06:33,980 this stuff and so yeah I picked the 122 00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:36,500 subject matter just because I loved the 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:40,910 bizarre and I I haven't been super into 124 00:06:45,970 --> 00:06:43,730 this in a major way for all that long 125 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:45,980 maybe about 12 15 years somewhere in 126 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:49,490 there but I just love the I the idea of 127 00:06:58,950 --> 00:06:55,370 the unexplained okay flatwoods now that 128 00:07:02,110 --> 00:06:58,960 that's one of my my favorite small-town 129 00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:02,120 monsters I was fairly good friends with 130 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:05,270 the late publisher great Barker in fact 131 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:07,850 he published my first three books and 132 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:12,080 that was the incident down in Braxton 133 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:14,810 County West Virginia that propelled him 134 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:17,090 into the field what did you it 135 00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:22,010 place well in 1953 1952 yeah okay 136 00:07:27,370 --> 00:07:23,540 well why don't you tell us a little bit 137 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:27,380 about the flatwoods well woods the 138 00:07:34,210 --> 00:07:30,290 flower woods monster was a basically on 139 00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:34,220 this September night in 1952 these kids 140 00:07:40,290 --> 00:07:36,940 were playing on a football field at the 141 00:07:42,730 --> 00:07:40,300 base of this large hill in the town of 142 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:42,740 flatwoods West Virginia which is kind of 143 00:07:47,650 --> 00:07:45,410 in the middle of nowhere it's also very 144 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:47,660 close to the dead center geographical 145 00:07:51,219 --> 00:07:49,970 center of the state of West Virginia but 146 00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:51,229 that's neither here or there 147 00:07:55,659 --> 00:07:53,240 they were playing football they see this 148 00:08:00,370 --> 00:07:55,669 strange sort of fireball streak across 149 00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:00,380 the sky and as kids do they decided they 150 00:08:04,930 --> 00:08:02,479 wanted to go investigate it so they they 151 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:04,940 wandered up to the top of the hill along 152 00:08:10,659 --> 00:08:07,370 the way picking up two additional 153 00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:10,669 members of their group one of their 154 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:13,760 mothers and a family friend an older boy 155 00:08:19,420 --> 00:08:17,840 named Jean and they all they all head up 156 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:19,430 to the top of this hill and when when 157 00:08:22,529 --> 00:08:20,810 they get up to the top of the hill they 158 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:22,539 notice this strange sort of mist 159 00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:26,090 hovering in the air they smell a 160 00:08:33,459 --> 00:08:30,620 horrific odor and they they walk a 161 00:08:37,329 --> 00:08:33,469 little further and somewhere around that 162 00:08:39,490 --> 00:08:37,339 time they noticed this large I hesitate 163 00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:39,500 to call it a creature because that's not 164 00:08:45,130 --> 00:08:42,140 necessarily what they described seeing 165 00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:45,140 but this this large metallic something 166 00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:47,300 yeah some people some people have said 167 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:49,640 that it was a maybe a form of rocket 168 00:08:58,269 --> 00:08:54,050 ship but not so much of a physical being 169 00:09:00,730 --> 00:08:58,279 did they see a thruster on the bottom I 170 00:09:02,110 --> 00:09:00,740 mean that they see it take off for now 171 00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:02,120 when it comes to when it comes to the 172 00:09:06,670 --> 00:09:04,220 actual events all they really remember 173 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:06,680 is it hovering toward them like it was 174 00:09:10,750 --> 00:09:08,450 just hovering above the ground and then 175 00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:10,760 it came toward them they definitely 176 00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:15,680 recall it more as a rocket in fact we 177 00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:17,900 just interviewed both of the may boys 178 00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:20,270 while they're not boys now obviously but 179 00:09:25,569 --> 00:09:23,260 we interviewed both of the maize and 180 00:09:27,970 --> 00:09:25,579 they were called that what they 181 00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:27,980 described was basically like a v2 rocket 182 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:30,830 with two portholes near the top where 183 00:09:36,340 --> 00:09:33,650 could see light emanating from out of it 184 00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:36,350 and we we managed to interview 185 00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:39,680 Fred Fred May and Edie May Edie Edie has 186 00:09:44,590 --> 00:09:41,870 never actually told his story or his 187 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:44,600 version of a story on camera before so 188 00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:46,010 that was pretty cool that to actually 189 00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:47,420 get to talk to them about it but yeah 190 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:49,790 basically they see this floating v2 191 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:52,130 rocket come at them and they tear off 192 00:09:57,790 --> 00:09:55,970 down the hill and and and honestly the 193 00:09:59,560 --> 00:09:57,800 story kind of ends there for for most 194 00:10:00,940 --> 00:09:59,570 people that's kind of a common legend 195 00:10:02,740 --> 00:10:00,950 that people know about but there's some 196 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:02,750 additional elements to the story that 197 00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:05,510 are kind of fascinating and and we'll 198 00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:07,460 probably explore some of that stuff in 199 00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:09,320 the movie now 200 00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:11,720 whether are there more than the two 201 00:10:17,620 --> 00:10:15,070 witnesses that are still living there is 202 00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:17,630 another witness by the last name of 203 00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:19,880 shaver who's still around but 204 00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:21,470 unfortunately I haven't been able to 205 00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:23,480 track him down he actually is somewhere 206 00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:25,430 here in Ohio I just haven't been able to 207 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,430 to turn him up but other than other than 208 00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:30,800 those three I'm not aware of any that 209 00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:33,620 are still living you know this is 1952 210 00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:37,580 and a lot of that's going on but now who 211 00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:41,150 was the the the woman the elderly woman 212 00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:44,120 that would be and that would actually be 213 00:10:50,590 --> 00:10:47,540 Fred and Edie Mae's mother Kathleen and 214 00:10:54,490 --> 00:10:50,600 and she was there as well with them that 215 00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:54,500 night and she passed away and I want to 216 00:10:59,020 --> 00:10:56,750 say it wasn't that long ago I want to 217 00:11:01,210 --> 00:10:59,030 say about a decade ago maybe but it's 218 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:01,220 not you know unfortunately we'll 219 00:11:06,340 --> 00:11:03,920 probably not be able to hear from her in 220 00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,350 the movie unless I can turn up some 221 00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:08,720 audio taped interviews which is actually 222 00:11:16,530 --> 00:11:11,360 a possibility so when I was there wasn't 223 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:16,540 there a TV show that they were on back 224 00:11:24,910 --> 00:11:22,850 1950s which sort of distorted the the 225 00:11:27,250 --> 00:11:24,920 description of what the creature looked 226 00:11:29,550 --> 00:11:27,260 like I think and I do think they did 227 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:29,560 that they obviously had audio with that 228 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:33,110 yeah basically they were on a TV show 229 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:34,850 called We the People which was actually 230 00:11:40,990 --> 00:11:37,250 a live recording of a radio show called 231 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:41,000 We the People but but it was on NBC they 232 00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:43,610 were on the show I want to say two or 233 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:44,720 three days after 234 00:11:52,059 --> 00:11:48,889 the initial sighting and the the editor 235 00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:52,069 from the Braxton County Democrat or the 236 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:54,889 Braxton Democrat went with them and he's 237 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:56,930 actually the one or someone at the paper 238 00:12:02,079 --> 00:11:59,680 is the one that drew the illustration of 239 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:02,089 the flatwoods monster the kind of 240 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:03,920 everyone connects to what the flatwoods 241 00:12:09,069 --> 00:12:05,689 monster looks like but it's not really 242 00:12:11,259 --> 00:12:09,079 what they described he drew facsimile of 243 00:12:14,740 --> 00:12:11,269 what they were claiming to see but it 244 00:12:16,509 --> 00:12:14,750 was much more you know trumped-up and 245 00:12:18,509 --> 00:12:16,519 than what they actually claimed to have 246 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:18,519 seen so they they went on the show and 247 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:20,569 after that it kind of became a viral 248 00:12:24,939 --> 00:12:22,850 story and became very popular in fact I 249 00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:24,949 mean I've done some newspaper archival 250 00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:27,800 research on the story and there are 251 00:12:31,329 --> 00:12:29,660 newspaper articles from around the 252 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:31,339 country because it must have hit the AP 253 00:12:37,019 --> 00:12:33,529 wire about that story that ran 254 00:12:39,699 --> 00:12:37,029 everywhere well I know a fake magazine 255 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:39,709 published an article by I think it was 256 00:12:46,929 --> 00:12:43,970 Ivan T Sanderson about the flatwoods 257 00:12:51,790 --> 00:12:46,939 monster and then a great Barker that was 258 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:51,800 the if I can remember correctly the the 259 00:12:57,129 --> 00:12:55,970 first a chapter or two in is a book on 260 00:12:59,860 --> 00:12:57,139 the men in black they knew too much 261 00:13:04,449 --> 00:12:59,870 about flying saucers so the case got to 262 00:13:05,889 --> 00:13:04,459 be fairly well established and I guess 263 00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:05,899 there were some people who thought that 264 00:13:12,220 --> 00:13:09,740 the the group had some experience and 265 00:13:15,069 --> 00:13:12,230 others just like you would define their 266 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:15,079 today in in a close encounter I thought 267 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:18,370 that the whole thing was was pretty much 268 00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:22,639 nonsense but it's now you you heard the 269 00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:24,889 two the two boys who were now grown tell 270 00:13:31,179 --> 00:13:27,529 their story does it differ any from what 271 00:13:34,090 --> 00:13:31,189 they told when they were young no not 272 00:13:36,910 --> 00:13:34,100 really it defers rather drastically from 273 00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:36,920 what the story has become today you know 274 00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:38,870 like like most of these stories at some 275 00:13:44,829 --> 00:13:41,809 point they pass over into legend and and 276 00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:44,839 and from legend they almost become this 277 00:13:48,999 --> 00:13:47,269 sort of folk tale and get trumped up 278 00:13:50,829 --> 00:13:49,009 even more and that's what we're finding 279 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:50,839 with this story is that a lot of the 280 00:13:56,319 --> 00:13:53,689 details that people have have recounted 281 00:13:58,610 --> 00:13:56,329 over the years don't seem to have any 282 00:14:00,260 --> 00:13:58,620 basis in fact for instance the the 283 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:00,270 dog that was with them that night 284 00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:03,450 supposedly inhaled this mist and fell 285 00:14:07,790 --> 00:14:05,910 dead that never happened the dog was 286 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:07,800 with them that night but the dog lived 287 00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:10,110 in another 12 years after that incident 288 00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:12,870 took place so that the dog was was fine 289 00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:14,580 following the incident and in fact they 290 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:18,180 don't even recall anyone inhaling any of 291 00:14:22,970 --> 00:14:20,250 the mist and getting ill which is 292 00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:22,980 commonly cited as a part of that story 293 00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:25,320 is that one of the the boys got horrific 294 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:27,720 ly ill and and vomited and stuff like 295 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:30,570 that after the they inhaled the the mist 296 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:32,690 but they that all seems to be kind of 297 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:36,090 made-up or just kind of dramatized over 298 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:38,730 the years no I I had heard that it was 299 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,810 the dog that got sick afterwards they 300 00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:45,120 you know he didn't pass away but he you 301 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:46,830 know like puke his guts out afterwards 302 00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:49,170 yeah I guess it's a old yellow turned 303 00:14:53,330 --> 00:14:51,030 yellow yeah yeah that's right 304 00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:53,340 ya know they they they said the dog was 305 00:14:58,490 --> 00:14:55,800 was fine they all ran back down the hill 306 00:15:00,380 --> 00:14:58,500 and and no one was ill what's what's 307 00:15:02,180 --> 00:15:00,390 fascinating to me is the interview we 308 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:02,190 have an audio taped or an audio 309 00:15:06,890 --> 00:15:05,010 interview with Ivan Sanderson that was 310 00:15:09,650 --> 00:15:06,900 actually taken not long after he had 311 00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:09,660 gone and investigated the case and he 312 00:15:15,770 --> 00:15:13,590 talks about some of these aspects of the 313 00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:15,780 story that I haven't heard really talked 314 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:17,790 about elsewhere and like you know after 315 00:15:21,740 --> 00:15:20,160 the the fireball was seen streaking 316 00:15:23,330 --> 00:15:21,750 across the sky it was seen landing on 317 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:23,340 top of the hill that's why they went up 318 00:15:28,250 --> 00:15:26,160 to that hilltop and when they got up 319 00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:28,260 there they did see an object in the 320 00:15:35,450 --> 00:15:32,310 field you know like a UFO but whatever 321 00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:35,460 happened to the UFO after they came 322 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:37,620 running down off the hill you know I 323 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:40,010 haven't seen that part of the story 324 00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:42,810 talked about in many places but Ivan 325 00:15:47,810 --> 00:15:44,670 talks about a neighbor that actually 326 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:47,820 lived near there seeing the ship 327 00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:50,490 actually take off again so or actually 328 00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:52,500 what happened is the he actually 329 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:54,030 recounted seeing the creature get in the 330 00:15:58,820 --> 00:15:55,230 ship and then the ship just kind of 331 00:16:02,000 --> 00:15:58,830 blink out which i think is kind of a 332 00:16:04,580 --> 00:16:02,010 fascinating aspect of the story and I 333 00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:04,590 remember hearing that that evening that 334 00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:08,790 there were multiple UFO sightings not 335 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:11,550 only in that area but I guess other 336 00:16:17,449 --> 00:16:12,810 places 337 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:17,459 like that I mean have you have you 338 00:16:23,090 --> 00:16:19,850 looked into that aspect of the Sharia 339 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:23,100 yeah yeah supposedly there were I think 340 00:16:30,350 --> 00:16:26,250 six or seven other objects seen around 341 00:16:31,999 --> 00:16:30,360 that same time in the skies and and you 342 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:32,009 know for there they're commonly 343 00:16:36,379 --> 00:16:34,529 connected one to another obviously 344 00:16:39,050 --> 00:16:36,389 because they were all seen up and down 345 00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:39,060 the eastern seaboard that night I 346 00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:42,180 haven't done a lot of digging into that 347 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:43,980 aspect of the story because our films 348 00:16:48,350 --> 00:16:45,839 going to focus mostly on on what took 349 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:48,360 place directly in flatwoods 350 00:16:52,129 --> 00:16:50,370 around that time what I did manage to 351 00:16:55,460 --> 00:16:52,139 turn up that that's kind of a cool 352 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:55,470 aspect of our film is the work of an 353 00:17:01,220 --> 00:16:57,810 author who went by the pen name of Paul 354 00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:01,230 Sagan and Paul wrote a book called alien 355 00:17:07,579 --> 00:17:03,899 flatwoods monster that was published 356 00:17:10,309 --> 00:17:07,589 after his death in 2008 8:00 and Paul 357 00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:10,319 was doing research into the flatwoods 358 00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:12,510 monster before anyone was even really 359 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:14,990 other than guys like Greg Barker and 360 00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:17,250 Ivan Sanderson he was doing research 361 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:21,000 into this in that interim period where 362 00:17:24,110 --> 00:17:22,799 it had kind of been forgotten about and 363 00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:24,120 where it kind of came back into the 364 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:27,809 public eye and the work that he did 365 00:17:33,140 --> 00:17:29,010 really fascinating because he 366 00:17:34,940 --> 00:17:33,150 interviewed the airforce Colonel or 367 00:17:37,789 --> 00:17:34,950 captain that actually investigated the 368 00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:37,799 crash site that night I believe his last 369 00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:39,809 name was Dunleavy something something 370 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:42,150 like that you know recall right now but 371 00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:44,970 I like to try to point people toward 372 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:46,710 that book because it exists and 373 00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:48,330 apparently a lot of people don't know 374 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:50,789 about it the first two or three chapters 375 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:54,690 are entirely about the flatwoods monster 376 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:57,090 and and kind of based off the research 377 00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:00,000 that paul had done into the case and 378 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:02,760 paul the reason paul got involved in the 379 00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:04,530 case to begin with was he was actually 380 00:18:08,899 --> 00:18:07,140 driving through flatwoods 381 00:18:11,870 --> 00:18:08,909 the night that all of this took place 382 00:18:14,529 --> 00:18:11,880 with his family and in fact their car 383 00:18:18,110 --> 00:18:14,539 broke down right at the base of the hill 384 00:18:20,510 --> 00:18:18,120 where the creature was later seen the 385 00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:20,520 monster was later seen and and he can 386 00:18:27,650 --> 00:18:22,740 recall he recalls it in in the book 387 00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:27,660 actually smelling very unusual 388 00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:29,460 where they were parked at the base of 389 00:18:33,260 --> 00:18:31,470 the hill that night so and and I don't 390 00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:33,270 know if you guys are aware of his work 391 00:18:37,820 --> 00:18:36,390 but I like to try to point people toward 392 00:18:39,620 --> 00:18:37,830 his book because it seems like people 393 00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:39,630 are not aware of the work that Paul had 394 00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:45,630 done well along those lines had there 395 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:49,830 been any previous activity in that area 396 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:53,610 and not only you know UFOs but you know 397 00:18:59,030 --> 00:18:57,450 other kinds of paranormal stuff ghosts 398 00:19:01,970 --> 00:18:59,040 Bigfoot what-have-you 399 00:19:03,860 --> 00:19:01,980 maybe you know maybe a history going 400 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:03,870 back as long as there's been people 401 00:19:08,419 --> 00:19:06,480 living in that area so yeah and that's 402 00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:08,429 one of the things that connects this 403 00:19:13,970 --> 00:19:10,380 film to are the other two that came 404 00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:13,980 before it the flatwoods film is the 405 00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:16,380 final film in the appellation monster 406 00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:18,600 trilogy which started with moss manor 407 00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:20,340 Point Pleasant went to invasion on 408 00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:22,590 Chestnut Ridge and we'll end with flat 409 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,809 woods and like in the case of invasion 410 00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:26,880 on Chestnut Ridge which comes out next 411 00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:28,830 week you kind of find out that there was 412 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:32,160 this long history of unusual happenings 413 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:35,130 in the area around flatwoods we 414 00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:37,290 interviewed a witness or not a witness 415 00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:40,350 but the granddaughter of a lady who 416 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:41,910 actually claims to have seen the 417 00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:46,410 flatwoods monster two weeks prior to the 418 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:48,660 September now I want to say it's 419 00:19:54,530 --> 00:19:50,850 September 12th incident that everyone 420 00:19:57,860 --> 00:19:54,540 knows about and she went on to tell us 421 00:19:59,360 --> 00:19:57,870 about some of the history of paranormal 422 00:20:01,880 --> 00:19:59,370 and unusual things happening in the 423 00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:01,890 hills especially around the town of 424 00:20:07,580 --> 00:20:04,440 flatwoods and and there is a long 425 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:07,590 history of particularly UFO sightings 426 00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:11,970 during the the 50s 60s and 70s it was so 427 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,790 common in that area that a lot of the 428 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:16,559 people the farmers and stuff just didn't 429 00:20:20,270 --> 00:20:18,450 even acknowledge it after a certain 430 00:20:22,970 --> 00:20:20,280 point because it happened so commonly 431 00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:22,980 and she told us some stories about you 432 00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:25,230 know her her parents or her grandparents 433 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:27,150 seeing this like teardrop shaped object 434 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:29,850 falling in the sky and the one night 435 00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:31,650 they heard a strange sound behind their 436 00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:33,360 house and they went out and fired a shot 437 00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:35,580 in the air and a UFO rose four-line some 438 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:38,280 trees and it does seem like there's a 439 00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:40,050 long history of bizarre 440 00:20:44,930 --> 00:20:42,120 happenings in that area and then we we 441 00:20:47,690 --> 00:20:44,940 also have the what became the flatwoods 442 00:20:49,610 --> 00:20:47,700 monster in the 60s and 70s which was not 443 00:20:52,220 --> 00:20:49,620 the flatwoods monster that we're talking 444 00:20:53,420 --> 00:20:52,230 about right now in the 60s and 70s there 445 00:20:55,910 --> 00:20:53,430 were sightings of a bigfoot-like 446 00:20:57,710 --> 00:20:55,920 creature around the area and for 447 00:21:00,560 --> 00:20:57,720 whatever reason they also added that 448 00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:00,570 name flatwoods monster to that creature 449 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:02,790 so it's it's also kind of strange 450 00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:04,730 because there's two flatwoods monsters 451 00:21:14,380 --> 00:21:07,680 and one is big and hairy and the other 452 00:21:17,390 --> 00:21:14,390 one isn't look like tall and metallic 453 00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:17,400 now this you know you mentioned this 454 00:21:24,970 --> 00:21:21,030 horrendous odor this odor is often 455 00:21:28,670 --> 00:21:24,980 associated with UFOs and the cult 456 00:21:31,330 --> 00:21:28,680 phenomena sure and and and even with 457 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:31,340 Bigfoot sightings as well with with like 458 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:34,290 in the case of the Minerva monster which 459 00:21:38,450 --> 00:21:36,240 was our one of our first films there's 460 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:38,460 the they were constantly talking about 461 00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:41,610 the sulfur of like smell that seems to 462 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:44,940 be similar to what people smelled in 463 00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:47,130 connection with the flatwoods monster 464 00:21:53,420 --> 00:21:49,740 case although the newspapers said it was 465 00:21:55,730 --> 00:21:53,430 a monster that had terrible Bo hmmm well 466 00:21:59,120 --> 00:21:55,740 well we can take care of that next time 467 00:22:01,460 --> 00:21:59,130 around anyway I guess we're coming up 468 00:22:06,170 --> 00:22:01,470 here on a break tamanna in a minute or 469 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:06,180 so and then when we come back you will 470 00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:09,570 formally introduce Peter Bernard oh and 471 00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:10,710 it would you know be my great pleasure 472 00:22:21,380 --> 00:22:14,640 to do that oh yeah because we somehow we 473 00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:21,390 got cut off by the evil emperor the 474 00:22:28,970 --> 00:22:23,760 bigfoot of the internet i guess so 475 00:22:31,070 --> 00:22:28,980 and i believe i can hear the the ad 476 00:22:33,410 --> 00:22:31,080 coming in in the background which I 477 00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:33,420 always get cut off by anyway so this 478

was going to sleep at night and I was 548 00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,120 thinking of what else can I do for money 549 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:25,520 just to support my cartoon band because 550 00:26:28,510 --> 00:26:27,290 I have a band that's like the Archies 551 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:28,520 mixed with the Monkees I have these 552 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:30,050 live-action girls who play these cartoon 553 00:26:33,910 --> 00:26:32,090 characters and I needed funding for it 554 00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:33,920 so I was like every night I was 555 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:35,120 listening to

working on the second bookish 641 00:30:26,490 --> 00:30:21,130 I'm hoping to have it out by Christmas 642 00:30:28,740 --> 00:30:26,500 but I don't know I just wanted I just I 643 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:28,750 read stuff like Stan Gordon kind of 644 00:30:33,650 --> 00:30:30,250 stuff which is why I love the chest 645 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:33,660 Ridge film that says read loved it I 646 00:30:39,150 --> 00:30:36,490 read stuff like that and I try and write 647 00:30:41,430 --> 00:30:39,160 things like that like I try and put 648 00:30:43,590 --> 00:30:41,440 something weird in them and the weird 649 00:30:45,570 --> 00:30:43,600 thing is that I didn't expect this to 650 00:30:47,130 --> 00:30:45,580 happen but people will write to me and 651 00:30:49,049 --> 00:30:47,140 say I know that that story's true 652 00:30:50,580 --> 00:30:49,059 because you included this detail but 653 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:50,590 there's a detail that I plagiarized from 654 00:30:55,260 --> 00:30:51,850 someone else his story 655 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:55,270 I think it's real and I don't understand 656 00:30:59,880 --> 00:30:57,730 world it's funny because I've known I 657 00:31:01,980 --> 00:30:59,890 mean look we were friends with John Keo 658 00:31:03,690 --> 00:31:01,990 and I got to meet Antonio genious and 659 00:31:07,530 --> 00:31:03,700 all these guys there but at the same 660 00:31:09,419 --> 00:31:07,540 time I look I would connected with Keo 661 00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:09,429 like he was interested in my cartoons at 662 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:10,630 that point I was developing stuff with 663 00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:12,610 like a Nickelodeon and so and jumbo 664 00:31:14,430 --> 00:31:13,809 pictures and stuff like that and he was 665 00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:14,440 interested 666 00:31:18,690 --> 00:31:16,960 that angle of knowing me and so I would 667 00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:18,700 always want to talk about UFOs with him 668 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:20,769 and he would always turn it around he 669 00:31:23,639 --> 00:31:22,330 would say you know you want to talk 670 00:31:26,369 --> 00:31:23,649 about UFOs but you know I was on the 671 00:31:27,659 --> 00:31:26,379 Johnny Carson show and so I said well 672 00:31:28,769 --> 00:31:27,669 what did you talk about on the Johnny 673 00:31:31,230 --> 00:31:28,779 Carson show he said well that doesn't 674 00:31:33,539 --> 00:31:31,240 matter anyway because he talked about 675 00:31:35,009 --> 00:31:33,549 UFOs you know so like like he wanted me 676 00:31:36,450 --> 00:31:35,019 to know that there was a lot more to him 677 00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:36,460 than just UFOs oh yeah 678 00:31:41,369 --> 00:31:38,710 so if an artist as well as a journalist 679 00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:41,379 I mean yes but you know so he ended a 680 00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:43,929 great sense of humor and that was kind 681 00:31:50,220 --> 00:31:46,740 of where how I connected with you also 682 00:31:55,259 --> 00:31:50,230 like well I think people took his sense 683 00:31:57,899 --> 00:31:55,269 of humor the the wrong way he I think he 684 00:31:59,730 --> 00:31:57,909 got his sense of humor from charles fort 685 00:32:02,279 --> 00:31:59,740 you know charles fort was always being 686 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:02,289 sort of a hypocritical about what he 687 00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:03,610 wrote about i mean you never know 688 00:32:09,659 --> 00:32:05,049 whether he was doing a tongue-in-cheek 689 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:09,669 or you know whether he was really trying 690 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:13,210 to present it as a is a legitimate story 691 00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:15,730 and of course he did have the newspaper 692 00:32:22,110 --> 00:32:19,590 clippings to to back up all this 693 00:32:23,399 --> 00:32:22,120 material in fact we were just talking 694 00:32:26,940 --> 00:32:23,409 the other day at tim oh is it on our 695 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:26,950 last show about the charles fort 696 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:28,450 collection at the new york public 697 00:32:34,379 --> 00:32:31,570 library right of course i wanted to get 698 00:32:37,230 --> 00:32:34,389 maybe get my collection when i go on to 699 00:32:39,450 --> 00:32:37,240 higher realms you know put up somewhere 700 00:32:42,749 --> 00:32:39,460 where the public can go through all my 701 00:32:43,889 --> 00:32:42,759 files and and pick out the reports and 702 00:32:46,350 --> 00:32:43,899 stuff like that 703 00:32:49,230 --> 00:32:46,360 but as i understand it from our friends 704 00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:49,240 at skyler the charles fort collection he 705 00:32:58,499 --> 00:32:53,710 wrote everything on three by five file 706 00:33:00,690 --> 00:32:58,509 cards in pencil and so yeah i don't know 707 00:33:05,009 --> 00:33:00,700 how anybody could even sit there and try 708 00:33:07,019 --> 00:33:05,019 to to you know make a reference to all 709 00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:07,029 that now i'm not sure whether the 710 00:33:10,950 --> 00:33:08,950 collection is still there because they 711 00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:10,960 have moved a lot of things to some 712 00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:14,110 underground vault in new jersey i mean 713 00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:17,230 you can imagine how many files and 714 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:20,080 collection and you know the Dewey 715 00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:21,970 Decimal System really gets a work out 716 00:33:27,070 --> 00:33:22,910 there 717 00:33:29,230 --> 00:33:27,080 and yeah I just I just hope that if they 718 00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:29,240 do move stuff like that you know like 719 00:33:34,270 --> 00:33:31,520 the underground vaults they at least go 720 00:33:36,970 --> 00:33:34,280 and digitize them or microfiche room or 721 00:33:39,370 --> 00:33:36,980 something I just I just hate for 722 00:33:42,010 --> 00:33:39,380 material like that just to disappear and 723 00:33:45,570 --> 00:33:42,020 nobody ever gets a chance to see it yeah 724 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:45,580 well you know a UFO in Bigfoot 725 00:33:54,190 --> 00:33:49,840 collections they're kind of I guess 726 00:33:56,130 --> 00:33:54,200 treated with ill contempt by families 727 00:33:59,920 --> 00:33:56,140 associated with people that have been 728 00:34:02,050 --> 00:33:59,930 involved in the collection of these 729 00:34:04,570 --> 00:34:02,060 different accounts and things like that 730 00:34:09,550 --> 00:34:04,580 we get there no respect they get no 731 00:34:11,740 --> 00:34:09,560 respect oh yeah so a Peter now you've 732 00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:11,750 got

--> 00:34:22,610 title is I think Bigfoot attacked my 736 00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:23,899 tiny house I think 737 00:34:29,919 --> 00:34:28,129 yeah what is a tiny house telling us my 738 00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:29,929 roommate watches or she used to watch 739 00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:31,310 these shows it was trendy when I wrote 740 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:34,310 it there were a lot of TV shows about it 741 00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:36,770 tiny houses people build these little 742 00:34:41,110 --> 00:34:38,960 tiny houses and I've been told by a 743 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:41,120 number of people that I over priced like 744 00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:42,320 the guy's spent too much money on his 745 00:34:46,899 --> 00:34:43,310 tiny house because I went into the 746 00:34:48,190 --> 00:34:46,909 details about it and yeah they just 747 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:48,200 build these little tiny houses so that 748 00:34:53,290 --> 00:34:51,010 they can live cheaply and live free of 749 00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:53,300 different burdens like some of them move 750 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:55,190 around they have like a trailer home 751 00:34:59,200 --> 00:34:56,810 kind of thing yeah and a lot of you

places but but some of 755 00:35:06,610 --> 00:35:05,180 them you know buy property and and it's 756 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:06,620 just that you have to buy less property 757 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:08,210 or you can have more land around in just 758 00:35:12,730 --> 00:35:10,850 a tiny little house and you have to you 759 00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:12,740 know it's it's a trend I don't know if

buying houses and 763 00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:18,830 moving in so they'll have to last for a 764 00:35:24,870 --> 00:35:21,110 while it's so tight what does a tiny 765 00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:24,880

Dogman seems to be really popular right 818 00:37:57,610 --> 00:37:55,940 now in fact the the reason I put that 819 00:38:00,370 --> 00:37:57,620 Nicorette for an interview up which is a 820 00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:00,380 little I did a while back with my 821 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:02,390 cartoon characters but I did the I put 822 00:38:05,980 --> 00:38:04,490 the raw version up because he's talking 823 00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:05,990 about dog man in there I was listening 824 00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:07,250 to taste Wow he's talking about dog man 825 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:08,150 let me just put this up because 826 00:38:13,660 --> 00:38:10,370 everyone's so crazy about dog man and 827 00:38:15,130 --> 00:38:13,670 it's hard to find real dog man stories 828 00:38:17,140 --> 00:38:15,140 you know it in the inside make up a lot 829 00:38:21,010 --> 00:38:17,150 of them but I'm trying to I try to find 830 00:38:22,630 --> 00:38:21,020 a kernel of truth in this I try and find 831 00:38:24,820 --> 00:38:22,640 like other people's stories that I can 832 00:38:26,830 --> 00:38:24,830 work on and sometimes people tell me 833 00:38:29,380 --> 00:38:26,840 stuff that supposedly happens to them 834 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:29,390 and I adapt it so but it's it's hard to 835 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:30,800 find one that you're not just totally 836 00:38:35,110 --> 00:38:32,810 making up or you know basing on other 837 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:35,120 stories that you've heard of I you know 838 00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:36,650 whenever possible because the people who

--> 00:42:05,690 day the town of Vincennes which was 915 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:08,720 settled by the French you know back in 916 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:11,930 the early 1600s before this was even 917 00:42:17,050 --> 00:42:14,930 part of the United States this area and 918 00:42:17,630 --> 00:42:17,060 they brought with them their legends of 919 00:42:29,090 --> 00:42:17,640 the 920 00:42:30,980 --> 00:42:29,100 werewolf or you know Peter pointed out 921 00:42:33,650 --> 00:42:30,990 now they would call them dog man but you 922 00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:33,660 know and and don't forget the loup-garou 923 00:42:40,370 --> 00:42:36,510 can be any kind of animal there's even 924 00:42:49,190 --> 00:42:40,380 stories of like a where cow so really 925 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:49,200 yes look

00:42:57,840 usually because well it's and it you 929 00:43:02,450 --> 00:43:00,210 know it's based on Catholic tradition as 930 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:02,460 well you know if these people you know 931 00:43:05,870 --> 00:43:04,170 like don't go to church for a certain 932 00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:05,880 amount of time they become her cursed 933 00:43:10,610 --> 00:43:08,670 and can turn into you

practically any kind of any kind of 937 00:43:27,140 --> 00:43:24,090 creature the shapeshifters exactly the 938 00:43:29,540 --> 00:43:27,150 loup-garou also people call it the 939 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:29,550 rougarou which is just a you know a 940 00:43:34,850 --> 00:43:32,130 bastardization of loup-garou but that 941 00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:34,860 there you if you look up ro ug aro you 942 00:43:39,590 --> 00:43:37,200 there are videos on YouTube about that 943 00:43:44,030 --> 00:43:39,600 also it's like down in New Orleans in 944 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:44,040 that area as a French oh yeah well and 945 00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:45,690 that's you know again that's you know 946 00:43:51,050 --> 00:43:48,300 like around around Vincennes there's 947 00:43:53,660 --> 00:43:51,060 that that's very heavily you know heavy 948 00:43:57,890 --> 00:43:53,670 French tradition when it comes to that 949 00:44:01,850 --> 00:43:57,900 so yeah I've find the dog man stories 950 00:44:05,780 --> 00:44:01,860 really interesting i I've often wondered 951 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:05,790 and Peter I know that I think you've 952 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:09,770 talked about this have there been 953 00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:12,330 situations where people have seen you 954 00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:13,710 know what they would describe then as a 955 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:17,760 Bigfoot but they'll say that it has you 956 00:44:24,050 --> 00:44:21,330 know like a it look more canid than a 957 00:44:26,810 --> 00:44:24,060 Bigfoot though even they'd call it a 958 00:44:28,250 --> 00:44:26,820 Bigfoot yeah right that's true a lot of 959 00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:28,260 times if I'm listening to shows and 960 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:29,310 people are talking about their Bigfoot 961 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:30,690 encounters they'll talk about it having 962 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:31,290 dog 963 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:32,610 you know but they're thinking it's a 964 00:44:37,610 --> 00:44:34,530 Bigfoot they're very similar except that 965 00:44:39,260 --> 00:44:37,620 usually if people notice the legs of the 966 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:39,270 dog men they usually look more like dog 967 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:42,570 legs or you know horse legs or deer legs 968 00:44:47,180 --> 00:44:44,610 in the back where they're bent backwards 969 00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:47,190 or you know also goat man is another one 970 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:48,660 where they have the backward bent legs 971 00:44:53,930 --> 00:44:52,050 except those ends in hooves and the wolf 972 00:44:57,380 --> 00:44:53,940 creatures and dog creatures they end in 973 00:44:59,690 --> 00:44:57,390 more like large dog feet but there's a 974 00:45:01,610 --> 00:44:59,700 the dog man is usually actually a shaggy 975 00:45:02,630 --> 00:45:01,620 kind of thing and there's all these 976 00:45:04,130 --> 00:45:02,640 different names and people talk about 977 00:45:05,420 --> 00:45:04,140 the different things but there are once 978 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:05,430 it looked like wolves with the pointy 979 00:45:08,150 --> 00:45:06,690 ears and there are other ones that look 980 00:45:10,370 --> 00:45:08,160 more like shaggy dogs with the hair 981 00:45:12,380 --> 00:45:10,380 hanging in their eyes which I you know 982 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:12,390 friend hard to imagine that being scary 983 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:14,490 but I guess if it's tall enough it's got 984 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:15,930 big enough teeth and it's growling it 985 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:18,210 yeah I guess I would run also but you 986 00:45:21,410 --> 00:45:19,650 know it's it sounds kind of funny it 987 00:45:22,820 --> 00:45:21,420 looks like the shaggy d.a that's what I 988 00:45:24,350 --> 00:45:22,830 was picture when I hear these stories 989 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:24,360 and I just kind of chuckle but I know I 990 00:45:26,060 --> 00:45:25,530 wouldn't chuckle if I were there and I 991 00:45:30,290 --> 00:45:26,070 saw it 992 00:45:31,790 --> 00:45:30,300 know well and Peter do you think that 993 00:45:36,770 --> 00:45:31,800 they're physical creatures or could they 994 00:45:38,450 --> 00:45:36,780 be paranormal well I just I'm only 995 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:38,460 interested from this point of view or 996 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:40,290 stories because I stay as far away from 997 00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:42,450 the forest as I can like I live in New 998 00:45:46,070 --> 00:45:44,250 York City and that's why I like that's 999 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:46,080 kind of why I like monsters like Bigfoot 1000 00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:47,970 and and dog man because you're not going 1001 00:45:51,170 --> 00:45:49,710 to see them in Manhattan so I can talk 1002 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:51,180 about them and I can kind of feel safe 1003 00:45:55,790 --> 00:45:53,610 and distance from that Staten Island is 1004 00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:55,800 the closest one that I know of I believe 1005 00:46:03,430 --> 00:45:58,610 we're walking across a golf course 1006 00:46:05,570 --> 00:46:03,440 really yeah how many years ago yeah yeah 1007 00:46:06,530 --> 00:46:05,580 that's not far from New Jersey you're 1008 00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:06,540 right it could have slowed me 1009 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:08,730 interaction you know well I what are 1010 00:46:14,210 --> 00:46:12,090 they swim across right unless unless 1011 00:46:16,580 --> 00:46:14,220 they are like werewolves they're just 1012 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:16,590 humans who work at the golf course and 1013 00:46:19,790 --> 00:46:18,480 then change into wolves sometimes like I 1014 00:46:21,770 --> 00:46:19,800 don't know because there are American 1015 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:21,780 Indian the shape-shifter myths in the 1016 00:46:25,010 --> 00:46:23,010 American Indian there are some 1017 00:46:26,870 --> 00:46:25,020 interesting stories they're like I'm a I 1018 00:46:30,580 --> 00:46:26,880 remember where I heard it from but it's

you a little 1039 00:47:48,810 --> 00:47:46,630 bit about your new film that's going to 1040 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:48,820 be coming out on October 20th is that 1041 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:50,730 correct the invasion on Chestnut Ridge 1042 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:54,160 yeah that hits next Friday night or 1043 00:48:00,470 --> 00:47:55,930 Friday I guess Thursday night around 1044 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:00,480 midnight it will be up now and so what 1045 00:48:09,570 --> 00:48:04,210 what's this movie about I see that you 1046 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:09,580 you feature like Stan Gordon and the the 1047 00:48:13,650 --> 00:48:12,370 the whole of Pennsylvania especially 1048 00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:13,660 western Pennsylvania 1049 00:48:20,580 --> 00:48:16,000 you know UFOs and monsters I probably 1050 00:48:23,130 --> 00:48:20,590 just want described it right there it's 1051 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:23,140 kind of like a it's kind of like a I 1052 00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:27,490 guess a buffet of weirdness it starts 1053 00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:31,510 with the Kecksburg UFO crash and moves 1054 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:36,250 on to the Uniontown Fayette County UFO 1055 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:39,490 big foot wave of the 1970s and it moves 1056 00:48:46,860 --> 00:48:43,920 into dog man stories and and orbs and 1057 00:48:49,650 --> 00:48:46,870 yeah it's kind of it kind of takes you 1058 00:48:52,830 --> 00:48:49,660 through this litany of really bizarre 1059 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:52,840 activity that's taking place along the 1060 00:48:59,300 --> 00:48:56,050 Chestnut Ridge for over a century and 1061 00:49:04,530 --> 00:48:59,310 the Chestnut Ridge is this 72 mile 1062 00:49:06,810 --> 00:49:04,540 mountain range in southwestern PA and 1063 00:49:08,670 --> 00:49:06,820 it's different from our movies and the 1064 00:49:11,579 --> 00:49:08,680 fact that instead of focusing on one 1065 00:49:15,359 --> 00:49:11,589 specific monster case it kind of focus 1066 00:49:17,309 --> 00:49:15,369 on on the ridge itself and it's I think 1067 00:49:22,829 --> 00:49:17,319 stylistically it's heavily influenced by 1068 00:49:24,959 --> 00:49:22,839 like 1970s and and 80's television Doc's 1069 00:49:28,529 --> 00:49:24,969 like unsolved mysteries and in search of 1070 00:49:31,529 --> 00:49:28,539 so it kind of draws from this well of of 1071 00:49:33,420 --> 00:49:31,539 really cool you know things that we 1072 00:49:37,769 --> 00:49:33,430 think we all if you're into this stuff 1073 00:49:41,609 --> 00:49:37,779 you probably love so now what what made 1074 00:49:44,670 --> 00:49:41,619 you decide to to tackle this because I 1075 00:49:47,940 --> 00:49:44,680 mean as typically and I am well known I 1076 00:49:51,029 --> 00:49:47,950 mean there is just so much stuff going 1077 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:51,039 on in that area you know it's it's I 1078 00:49:57,509 --> 00:49:53,650 think it would just be impossible to try 1079 00:49:59,489 --> 00:49:57,519 to pick out you know a few stories out 1080 00:50:01,259 --> 00:49:59,499 of so many it's just like oh my gosh how 1081 00:50:05,539 --> 00:50:01,269 am I gonna do all this so I mean what 1082 00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:05,549 what made you decide to tackle this 1083 00:50:09,930 --> 00:50:08,049 honestly more than anything is the fact 1084 00:50:12,450 --> 00:50:09,940 that I wanted to work with my buddy mark 1085 00:50:14,969 --> 00:50:12,460 Matt's key who actually wrote the movie 1086 00:50:17,249 --> 00:50:14,979 and did the narration and Mark and I 1087 00:50:19,259 --> 00:50:17,259 have been friends for a while and Mark 1088 00:50:20,940 --> 00:50:19,269 has has worked with us on a couple of 1089 00:50:24,109 --> 00:50:20,950 the other movies but we never got to do 1090 00:50:28,170 --> 00:50:24,119 anything collaboratively so he is a huge 1091 00:50:30,390 --> 00:50:28,180 Stan Gordon acolyte and a big sting 1092 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:30,400 Gordon fan and he's more aware of his 1093 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:32,650 work than probably anyone I know I mean 1094 00:50:38,039 --> 00:50:35,130 he's he's got like a trivia like 1095 00:50:40,109 --> 00:50:38,049 knowledge of all that stuff so I wanted 1096 00:50:43,019 --> 00:50:40,119 to work with him on this and kind of let 1097 00:50:44,759 --> 00:50:43,029 him go crazy with the writing of it as 1098 00:50:46,859 --> 00:50:44,769 far as like how we got to the point 1099 00:50:50,819 --> 00:50:46,869 where the film became what it is today 1100 00:50:53,219 --> 00:50:50,829 it was it started life as basically a 1101 00:50:56,549 --> 00:50:53,229 cat's burg movie originally it was just 1102 00:50:58,349 --> 00:50:56,559 gonna be a Kecksburg UFO crash movie and 1103 00:51:01,769 --> 00:50:58,359 I think originally our plan was to make 1104 00:51:03,420 --> 00:51:01,779 it a little 40-minute short and the 1105 00:51:05,339 --> 00:51:03,430 reason was we had already done the 1106 00:51:08,999 --> 00:51:05,349 Mothman a Point Pleasant which we just 1107 00:51:10,799 --> 00:51:09,009 released in June and the idea of trying 1108 00:51:12,989 --> 00:51:10,809 to put out a second movie that was over 1109 00:51:16,769 --> 00:51:12,999 an hour anything like that seemed absurd 1110 00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:16,779 to us but once we got into actually 1111 00:51:22,289 --> 00:51:18,640 scheduling out our interviews for this 1112 00:51:24,329 --> 00:51:22,299 movie what what became the game plan 1113 00:51:25,380 --> 00:51:24,339 kind of started to take shape and 1114 00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:25,390 instead of focusing 1115 00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:27,790 just Kecksburg we use detect tax burgers 1116 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:30,730 kind of the the inciting incident fur 1117 00:51:35,220 --> 00:51:32,770 for all the weirdness along the ridge 1118 00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:35,230 and and one of our subjects actually 1119 00:51:38,970 --> 00:51:36,880 even says that the the Kecksburg 1120 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:38,980 incident more than anything seems like 1121 00:51:44,670 --> 00:51:42,370 the catalyst for people that live in 1122 00:51:47,850 --> 00:51:44,680 that area who have had weird experiences 1123 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:47,860 to start talking about them so but we 1124 00:51:51,990 --> 00:51:49,690 you know through researching a movie we 1125 00:51:54,750 --> 00:51:52,000 did find out that there's been strange 1126 00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:54,760 unexplained things happening along that 1127 00:51:59,760 --> 00:51:57,760 area for four decades but more and more 1128 00:52:02,070 --> 00:51:59,770 than anything it was it was wanting to 1129 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:02,080 work with mark and to do something this 1130 00:52:08,370 --> 00:52:06,010 big and sprawling was was really kind of 1131 00:52:12,780 --> 00:52:08,380 exciting for me cuz the challenge became 1132 00:52:14,550 --> 00:52:12,790 how are we going to tell this story in a 1133 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:14,560 way that makes any sense to a viewer 1134 00:52:19,620 --> 00:52:15,970 because none of these stories are 1135 00:52:23,490 --> 00:52:19,630 necessarily connected to the next other 1136 00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:23,500 than through where they took place well 1137 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:26,800 I I particularly enjoyed some of the 1138 00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:30,370 animation that you used in in that film 1139 00:52:38,310 --> 00:52:33,910 especially when you were recounting the 1140 00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:38,320 the event of the bigfoot-type creatures 1141 00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:42,250 walking along the fence line they the 1142 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:44,560 the animation that you used on that was 1143 00:52:50,070 --> 00:52:47,410 very nice just very well done Chris 1144 00:52:52,890 --> 00:52:50,080 Chris Scalf does the animated sequences 1145 00:52:55,710 --> 00:52:52,900 in our movies and he did three or four 1146 00:52:58,260 --> 00:52:55,720 of them in Mothman and he did a number 1147 00:53:01,290 --> 00:52:58,270 of them in this and he's he'll be on 1148 00:53:03,780 --> 00:53:01,300 every project we do in 2018 as well so 1149 00:53:06,180 --> 00:53:03,790 flatwoods and our champ movie and then 1150 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:06,190 our Bray Road movie he's he's doing 1151 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:07,810 animated sequences for all of those 1152 00:53:12,690 --> 00:53:09,970 we've been extremely blessed with like 1153 00:53:16,020 --> 00:53:12,700 super talented artists and illustrators 1154 00:53:19,590 --> 00:53:16,030 wanting to be involved in the movies so 1155 00:53:21,540 --> 00:53:19,600 Chris is just the the latest addition to 1156 00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:21,550 the team and a really important one he 1157 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:23,500 did he did a great job on that sequence 1158 00:53:28,950 --> 00:53:26,770 I'm also a really big fan of the the dog 1159 00:53:30,900 --> 00:53:28,960 man sequence he did which is actually 1160 00:53:34,170 --> 00:53:30,910 kind of cool that dog man sequence was 1161 00:53:35,820 --> 00:53:34,180 originally created and animated years 1162 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:35,830 ago I guess and he actually just 1163 00:53:39,690 --> 00:53:38,770 reworked it for use in our movie and I 1164 00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:39,700 think I think it's 1165 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:42,760 comes across really cool and I really I 1166 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:44,650 really enjoyed the way he did that and I 1167 00:53:49,109 --> 00:53:46,690 really liked the way he animated the 1168 00:53:51,780 --> 00:53:49,119 Thunderbird sequence to where it almost 1169 00:53:55,230 --> 00:53:51,790 takes on this found-footage kind of look 1170 00:53:57,660 --> 00:53:55,240 but yeah he added a ton to the to the 1171 00:54:00,150 --> 00:53:57,670 proceedings of course one of my one of 1172 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:00,160 my favorite all-time favorite that 1173 00:54:06,359 --> 00:54:02,290 movies kind of in this genre would be 1174 00:54:10,890 --> 00:54:06,369 The Legend of Boggy Creek I mean I even 1175 00:54:13,620 --> 00:54:10,900 have it on DVD and I passed out to 1176 00:54:16,740 --> 00:54:13,630 dozens of copies to to friends and all 1177 00:54:18,390 --> 00:54:16,750 the turn on to it how did you first hear 1178 00:54:22,290 --> 00:54:18,400 about boggy creek I mean you saw the 1179 00:54:25,349 --> 00:54:22,300 movie obviously actually I didn't I I 1180 00:54:28,260 --> 00:54:25,359 saw the movie after Lyle Blackburn had 1181 00:54:31,140 --> 00:54:28,270 approached us about working on boggy 1182 00:54:33,990 --> 00:54:31,150 creek monster III up until then I hadn't 1183 00:54:37,079 --> 00:54:34,000 really been familiar with the original 1184 00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:37,089 movie but but I did you know once I 1185 00:54:41,069 --> 00:54:39,550 discovered it I I discovered that I 1186 00:54:43,859 --> 00:54:41,079 really actually had a love for that 1187 00:54:45,660 --> 00:54:43,869 movie and it's it's grown over the two 1188 00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:45,670 years that I've now been familiar with 1189 00:54:50,460 --> 00:54:48,250 it and actually really respect that 1190 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:50,470 movie a lot actually I think a lot of 1191 00:54:56,130 --> 00:54:53,410 the cinematography and stuff and it is 1192 00:54:57,690 --> 00:54:56,140 actually really incredible and even kind 1193 00:54:59,640 --> 00:54:57,700 of ahead of its time in a lot of ways I 1194 00:55:01,980 --> 00:54:59,650 mean in a way it kind of invented the 1195 00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:01,990 found footage you know genre I don't 1196 00:55:07,290 --> 00:55:04,569 know if we would have what we have today 1197 00:55:09,510 --> 00:55:07,300 and found footage if not for The Legend 1198 00:55:12,390 --> 00:55:09,520 of Boggy Creek well it just got it just 1199 00:55:14,579 --> 00:55:12,400 goes to show you though you know the the 1200 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:14,589 original director of Boggy Creek is 1201 00:55:18,750 --> 00:55:17,050 whose name slips me at the moment I mean 1202 00:55:22,470 --> 00:55:18,760 you know working on an extremely limited 1203 00:55:27,420 --> 00:55:22,480 budget and so I mean he had to just kind 1204 00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:27,430 of work on the fly so you know you can 1205 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:30,250 you can have a you know multi-million 1206 00:55:36,450 --> 00:55:32,290 dollar budget and come up with a crap 1207 00:55:38,940 --> 00:55:36,460 movie but sometimes I think that when 1208 00:55:41,069 --> 00:55:38,950 you're working on a limited budgets that 1209 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:41,079 you know that really gets your creative 1210 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:43,210 juices flowing and I have a lot of 1211 00:55:48,599 --> 00:55:45,970 respect and enjoy movie a lot more 1212 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:48,609 movies I think that concentrate more on 1213 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:50,000 the plot 1214 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:52,970 you know special effects CGI and all 1215 00:55:58,390 --> 00:55:56,330 that yeah and he was he was creating 1216 00:56:01,030 --> 00:55:58,400 film at a time where they were actually 1217 00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:01,040 being made on film so I think you know I 1218 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:03,710 his daughter told me something like 70% 1219 00:56:09,339 --> 00:56:06,290 of the budget of that movie went toward 1220 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:09,349 or buying film you know buying film 1221 00:56:12,460 --> 00:56:11,690 reels because it just it was a totally 1222 00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:12,470 different ballgame 1223 00:56:16,570 --> 00:56:14,510 we made our Boggy Creek monster movie 1224 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:16,580 for under $8,000 I thought and that 1225 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:18,890 includes travel expenses paying the 1226 00:56:22,390 --> 00:56:21,170 poster artists everything so back then 1227 00:56:24,430 --> 00:56:22,400 you know when you when you're saying 1228 00:56:25,660 --> 00:56:24,440 you're spending $100,000 most of that's 1229 00:56:28,990 --> 00:56:25,670 because of the fact that they had to 1230 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:29,000 film on film you know I can buy a I can 1231 00:56:36,609 --> 00:56:32,810 buy a $40 SD card and shoot 1080 video 1232 00:56:39,130 --> 00:56:36,619 or 4k video you know and it cost me 40 1233 00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:39,140 bucks to do it so yeah well you know a 1234 00:56:47,500 --> 00:56:42,980 lot of those those old films were shot 1235 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:47,510 on what we're called ends I don't know 1236 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:49,810 if you're familiar with that term but 1237 00:56:57,220 --> 00:56:54,290 that you say you would have a larger 1238 00:56:59,800 --> 00:56:57,230 company shoot a movie and they wouldn't 1239 00:57:03,099 --> 00:56:59,810 finish the entire roll of film and so 1240 00:57:05,609 --> 00:57:03,109 the there would be leftover film that 1241 00:57:09,970 --> 00:57:05,619 they would cut off and then resell 1242 00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:09,980 recant recant yes in fact that's how the 1243 00:57:17,530 --> 00:57:13,910 the Roswell autopsy film got going 1244 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:17,540 somebody high recants from 1947 and so 1245 00:57:21,940 --> 00:57:20,210 they they they put you know whatever 1246 00:57:23,980 --> 00:57:21,950 footage that they had on the night and 1247 00:57:25,660 --> 00:57:23,990 people fell for that I mean people don't 1248 00:57:28,540 --> 00:57:25,670 know about filmmaking that's weekend's 1249 00:57:31,810 --> 00:57:28,550 like that many many of the inexpensive 1250 00:57:35,890 --> 00:57:31,820 films especially in the 50s and 60s were 1251 00:57:37,420 --> 00:57:35,900 shot that way you know you may have like 1252 00:57:40,780 --> 00:57:37,430 in a hundred two hundred feet of film 1253 00:57:44,770 --> 00:57:40,790 left in these camps that that they would 1254 00:57:49,079 --> 00:57:44,780 use yeah yeah yeah like you said big 1255 00:57:52,060 --> 00:57:49,089 difference than just getting as SDS card 1256 00:57:54,550 --> 00:57:52,070 yeah but I I think I think those guys 1257 00:57:56,700 --> 00:57:54,560 the the filmmakers well even even guys 1258 00:57:59,320 --> 00:57:56,710 like yourself there there had to be 1259 00:58:01,450 --> 00:57:59,330 probably much more of a focus on quality 1260 00:58:03,670 --> 00:58:01,460 with each shot because you're much more 1261 00:58:06,339 --> 00:58:03,680 aware of the you know the 1262 00:58:08,799 --> 00:58:06,349 if you screw this up you're you're 1263 00:58:12,180 --> 00:58:08,809 you're wasting money so I think now the 1264 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:12,190 best you could do is like two-for-one 1265 00:58:20,140 --> 00:58:18,290 twice perhaps if you're lucky yeah well 1266 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:20,150 I and we were we were talking earlier 1267 00:58:26,950 --> 00:58:24,250 about the animation for your films the 1268 00:58:29,020 --> 00:58:26,960 the Mothman to Point Pleasant I just 1269 00:58:30,700 --> 00:58:29,030 want to point out that I also liked and 1270 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:30,710 I guess it was the same same guy who did 1271 00:58:37,809 --> 00:58:33,770 the animation for your new film the 1272 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:37,819 scenes where the guys were were in the 1273 00:58:43,870 --> 00:58:39,770 old powerhouse with Mothman I mean it 1274 00:58:46,150 --> 00:58:43,880 the the animation was just fantastic it 1275 00:58:49,349 --> 00:58:46,160 looked almost like an oil painting come 1276 00:58:52,420 --> 00:58:49,359 to life that's that's his style on 1277 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:52,430 Mothman was actually that and if you see 1278 00:58:56,290 --> 00:58:54,410 what he does he actually creates a 1279 00:58:58,210 --> 00:58:56,300 painting and then he takes that into 1280 00:59:01,059 --> 00:58:58,220 After Effects and animates it so it 1281 00:59:03,099 --> 00:59:01,069 starts life as of still painting and I 1282 00:59:05,380 --> 00:59:03,109 think with with the MOC man at Point 1283 00:59:07,420 --> 00:59:05,390 Pleasant he was very consciously trying 1284 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:07,430 to create that oil painting look and 1285 00:59:11,980 --> 00:59:10,250 then he changed it up a little bit for 1286 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:11,990 invasion on Chestnut Ridge and I can 1287 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:14,690 tell you for flatwoods he's changing it 1288 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:16,250 up even more I think it's we're going 1289 00:59:20,980 --> 00:59:18,890 with a black and white kind of look on 1290 00:59:23,049 --> 00:59:20,990 firewood so that it's going to play into 1291 00:59:25,059 --> 00:59:23,059 the fact that I'm stylistically our 1292 00:59:27,549 --> 00:59:25,069 flatwoods movies very heavily influenced 1293 00:59:30,250 --> 00:59:27,559 by Forbidden Planet and Day the Earth 1294 00:59:33,130 --> 00:59:30,260 Stood Still in this early 1950s kind of 1295 00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:33,140 Cold War era sci-fi so he's kind of 1296 00:59:37,270 --> 00:59:35,089 trying to capture that a little bit in 1297 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:37,280 his animation on that film but all the 1298 00:59:42,190 --> 00:59:38,930 artists do that kind of stuff like Matt 1299 00:59:44,589 --> 00:59:42,200 Harris who's been involved with us since 1300 00:59:46,660 --> 00:59:44,599 our minim monster movie in fact he's one 1301 00:59:48,370 --> 00:59:46,670 of the only remaining original members 1302 00:59:49,900 --> 00:59:48,380 of the crew that have been there since 1303 00:59:52,329 --> 00:59:49,910 Minerva monster 1304 00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:52,339 he always approaches each project in a 1305 00:59:57,250 --> 00:59:54,650 different stylistic way as well so but 1306 00:59:59,740 --> 00:59:57,260 we've like I said like those guys the 1307 01:00:01,569 --> 00:59:59,750 animators the guys that create the 1308 01:00:03,670 --> 01:00:01,579 illustrations of stuff they tie the 1309 01:00:05,380 --> 01:00:03,680 entire project together it really takes 1310 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:05,390 on a completely different life when they 1311 01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:09,530 send start sending their work in it 1312 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:13,510 really does so now on any of these films 1313 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:17,090 that you have worked on I mean have 1314 01:00:23,830 --> 01:00:20,570 you ever encountered or had anything 1315 01:00:25,210 --> 01:00:23,840 unusual happened while you were while 1316 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:25,220 you were filming I mean you know 1317 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:27,530 naturally and I've seen I think 1318 01:00:31,570 --> 01:00:30,050 practically all of them now yeah you 1319 01:00:33,820 --> 01:00:31,580 would if you would have included it if 1320 01:00:35,230 --> 01:00:33,830 you were able to get it on film but you 1321 01:00:37,390 --> 01:00:35,240 know what when you were out doing 1322 01:00:38,740 --> 01:00:37,400 interviews or you know getting b-roll or 1323 01:00:41,790 --> 01:00:38,750 things like that I mean you know 1324 01:00:45,490 --> 01:00:41,800 anything anything unusual happen to you 1325 01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:45,500 honestly I wish I had a crazy story and 1326 01:00:49,780 --> 01:00:48,110 I I really don't about the weirdest 1327 01:00:54,730 --> 01:00:49,790 thing that's happened to us actually 1328 01:00:57,580 --> 01:00:54,740 happened to us in the TNT area probably 1329 01:00:59,170 --> 01:00:57,590 it was it was late May of this year and 1330 01:01:00,550 --> 01:00:59,180 we were not there filming one of our 1331 01:01:04,180 --> 01:01:00,560 movies we were actually there shooting 1332 01:01:05,770 --> 01:01:04,190 in Japanese TV show um in which for 1333 01:01:08,950 --> 01:01:05,780 whatever reason they decided I would 1334 01:01:11,110 --> 01:01:08,960 make a good Mothman expert so I was 1335 01:01:12,550 --> 01:01:11,120 there mock me an expert on this Japanese 1336 01:01:15,460 --> 01:01:12,560 I was thought you were gonna say you 1337 01:01:17,530 --> 01:01:15,470 would make a good Mothman that's they 1338 01:01:19,780 --> 01:01:17,540 probably would have asked if they 1339 01:01:22,690 --> 01:01:19,790 thought I would go for it but um we were 1340 01:01:24,820 --> 01:01:22,700 back in the TNT area and in an in an 1341 01:01:27,250 --> 01:01:24,830 area that there really aren't many 1342 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:27,260 people it's it's actually one of the the 1343 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:29,210 sections that's owned by the Farm Museum 1344 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:31,130 that's that's really near there so 1345 01:01:35,980 --> 01:01:33,170 you're down by the aqueducts rather than 1346 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:35,990 over by the bunkers but we were back on 1347 01:01:43,210 --> 01:01:39,730 this abandoned trail up on this hill and 1348 01:01:47,170 --> 01:01:43,220 something on two Hills on both sides of 1349 01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:47,180 us started throwing rocks at us and so 1350 01:01:50,980 --> 01:01:49,280 we you know Brandon and I who is also 1351 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:50,990 with me we got real excited because we 1352 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:52,250 started thinking well this is really 1353 01:01:55,750 --> 01:01:53,930 weird to be happening you know why 1354 01:01:57,310 --> 01:01:55,760 you're in the TNT area and you're out 1355 01:01:58,750 --> 01:01:57,320 looking for Mothman and all of a sudden 1356 01:02:01,570 --> 01:01:58,760 you have what you consider like a 1357 01:02:03,910 --> 01:02:01,580 Bigfoot type activity start happening so 1358 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:03,920 we you know we got really amped up about 1359 01:02:08,530 --> 01:02:06,050 it and the Japanese film crew meanwhile 1360 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:08,540 absolutely irate that Brandon and I are 1361 01:02:11,950 --> 01:02:10,250 like on our knees on the ground trying 1362 01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:11,960 to find the rocks that were coming off 1363 01:02:16,750 --> 01:02:14,000 the hill and they're just trying to get 1364 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:16,760 down back down to the base camp so we 1365 01:02:21,580 --> 01:02:19,610 can find their fake Mothman who was 1366 01:02:23,380 --> 01:02:21,590 actually just one of the the crew member 1367 01:02:27,460 --> 01:02:23,390 the Japanese crew members hiding in the 1368 01:02:30,089 --> 01:02:27,470 bushes but we we ended up they left us 1369 01:02:32,069 --> 01:02:30,099 they walked off and left us there and 1370 01:02:33,420 --> 01:02:32,079 after they left us I killed my head I 1371 01:02:35,940 --> 01:02:33,430 was wearing a headlamp I killed my 1372 01:02:38,309 --> 01:02:35,950 headlamp and as soon as I did there was 1373 01:02:39,870 --> 01:02:38,319 this kind of muttering you know that's 1374 01:02:41,609 --> 01:02:39,880 really weird kind of talking or 1375 01:02:43,979 --> 01:02:41,619 something that happened in the middle of 1376 01:02:46,650 --> 01:02:43,989 the trail maybe 20 years 30 feet away 1377 01:02:48,299 --> 01:02:46,660 from us and as I flipped my light back 1378 01:02:49,469 --> 01:02:48,309 on because it freaked me out so that as 1379 01:02:52,890 --> 01:02:49,479 soon as the light came back on it 1380 01:02:54,599 --> 01:02:52,900 stopped and then Brandon came over and 1381 01:02:56,249 --> 01:02:54,609 as soon as he walked over he he turned 1382 01:02:58,920 --> 01:02:56,259 off his headlamp and I turned mine off 1383 01:03:00,960 --> 01:02:58,930 and we heard it start up again so it was 1384 01:03:03,989 --> 01:03:00,970 it was really weird I can't say what it 1385 01:03:06,390 --> 01:03:03,999 was it could definitely be people you 1386 01:03:07,829 --> 01:03:06,400 know because it's it's West Virginia and 1387 01:03:09,870 --> 01:03:07,839 there's people in those woods 1388 01:03:12,630 --> 01:03:09,880 oh yeah probably probably more so than 1389 01:03:14,279 --> 01:03:12,640 them Bigfoot's so but it was it that's 1390 01:03:18,089 --> 01:03:14,289 about the weirdest thing I've had happen 1391 01:03:22,739 --> 01:03:18,099 to me well I mean I've I've been back in 1392 01:03:24,569 --> 01:03:22,749 that area and I mean probably in some of 1393 01:03:27,239 --> 01:03:24,579 those areas that you were that you know 1394 01:03:30,589 --> 01:03:27,249 our aren't really there pretty much off 1395 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:30,599 the beaten trail and even to this day 1396 01:03:38,999 --> 01:03:33,970 there's just I don't know an arrow 1397 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:39,009 weirdness about about that place I don't 1398 01:03:45,930 --> 01:03:43,210 know yeah yeah and we we we went to some 1399 01:03:50,009 --> 01:03:45,940 places I've never been before including 1400 01:03:51,719 --> 01:03:50,019 this kind of abandoned water silo they 1401 01:03:54,839 --> 01:03:51,729 were there was there were a couple 1402 01:03:57,479 --> 01:03:54,849 places that I'd never been to there when 1403 01:03:59,009 --> 01:03:57,489 we were we were there and and in one of 1404 01:04:00,989 --> 01:03:59,019 them we actually had to crawl down 1405 01:04:03,299 --> 01:04:00,999 through this really like it was 1406 01:04:04,559 --> 01:04:03,309 completely overgrown but one of the guys 1407 01:04:06,329 --> 01:04:04,569 that was with us knew about it because 1408 01:04:08,459 --> 01:04:06,339 apparently he used to as a kid go back 1409 01:04:10,349 --> 01:04:08,469 down there and hang out and probably 1410 01:04:12,809 --> 01:04:10,359 mess around smoke pot or whatever but 1411 01:04:14,910 --> 01:04:12,819 like he actually cut a little trail 1412 01:04:17,279 --> 01:04:14,920 through the underbrush for us to get 1413 01:04:19,499 --> 01:04:17,289 down to this abandoned building and once 1414 01:04:21,509 --> 01:04:19,509 you were inside I was convinced at any 1415 01:04:23,309 --> 01:04:21,519 minute we were going to be you know 1416 01:04:25,079 --> 01:04:23,319 visited by the Mothman or something just 1417 01:04:26,309 --> 01:04:25,089 because so there's something yeah like 1418 01:04:31,140 --> 01:04:26,319 you said there's an air of weirdness 1419 01:04:32,999 --> 01:04:31,150 about that whole place man just it just 1420 01:04:37,830 --> 01:04:33,009 it just never it just never goes away 1421 01:04:41,580 --> 01:04:37,840 well and you know your film the Mothman 1422 01:04:47,070 --> 01:04:41,590 the Point Pleasant you know I appreciate 1423 01:04:50,190 --> 01:04:47,080 that you you included the you know the 1424 01:04:51,870 --> 01:04:50,200 the other high strangeness cases that 1425 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:51,880 were going on at the same time because 1426 01:04:56,970 --> 01:04:54,490 you know I've seen other documentaries 1427 01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:56,980 and your short films or whatever and 1428 01:05:00,300 --> 01:04:58,570 they they mostly just you know 1429 01:05:01,980 --> 01:05:00,310 concentrate on the Mothman but there was 1430 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:01,990 so much more going on at the time I mean 1431 01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:05,290 you know the minim black UFOs just I 1432 01:05:11,310 --> 01:05:07,510 mean and not not to forget to woody 1433 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:11,320 derenberger is a UFO yes yes in fact I I 1434 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:13,570 knew what he would II he came to New 1435 01:05:21,930 --> 01:05:17,890 York and gave a lecture for a group back 1436 01:05:25,350 --> 01:05:21,940 in the I guess it was the mid the 70s 1437 01:05:27,510 --> 01:05:25,360 and he had just written this a little a 1438 01:05:30,750 --> 01:05:27,520 book called the visitors from laniel 1439 01:05:33,870 --> 01:05:30,760 owes and and of course granulosus was 1440 01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:33,880 known as they the nudist planet I mean 1441 01:05:41,730 --> 01:05:38,050 everybody walked around there the sky 1442 01:05:44,310 --> 01:05:41,740 was where sky sky clad sky khon there's 1443 01:05:48,450 --> 01:05:44,320 like a clad yeah that's the genial way 1444 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:48,460 of putting it so yeah he was a character 1445 01:05:56,340 --> 01:05:51,490 there was some wife-swapping going on 1446 01:05:59,100 --> 01:05:56,350 and some other events but there were 1447 01:06:03,300 --> 01:05:59,110 other people that lived down there and 1448 01:06:04,890 --> 01:06:03,310 in and around a Point Pleasant I can't 1449 01:06:08,540 --> 01:06:04,900 remember the exact time that he lived in 1450 01:06:13,170 --> 01:06:08,550 but that that we're having music yeah I 1451 01:06:16,050 --> 01:06:13,180 just yeah he was he was like right up in 1452 01:06:19,470 --> 01:06:16,060 Mineral Wells with us about yeah maybe 1453 01:06:21,990 --> 01:06:19,480 45 minutes from point five and I always 1454 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:22,000 wondered you know what propels somebody 1455 01:06:29,490 --> 01:06:25,090 to if it's a made-up story to make 1456 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:29,500 something like that up yeah I don't know 1457 01:06:34,830 --> 01:06:31,330 I interviewed I actually just 1458 01:06:39,030 --> 01:06:34,840 interviewed his daughter about their 1459 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:39,040 experiences as a family for small town 1460 01:06:44,370 --> 01:06:42,610 monster's Case Files and she she is you 1461 01:06:46,290 --> 01:06:44,380 know he's still convinced to this day 1462 01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:46,300 that her dad didn't make it up and she's 1463 01:06:51,540 --> 01:06:48,790 also claimed that you know she had 1464 01:06:55,470 --> 01:06:51,550 dinner with with injured Cole 1465 01:06:58,920 --> 01:06:55,480 and all this kind of stuff so and uh you 1466 01:07:01,290 --> 01:06:58,930 know you you honestly probably know so 1467 01:07:02,940 --> 01:07:01,300 obviously so much more about this stuff 1468 01:07:04,230 --> 01:07:02,950 than I do like earlier in the show when 1469 01:07:05,910 --> 01:07:04,240 you guys were just talking about John 1470 01:07:08,940 --> 01:07:05,920 keel like that kind of stuff 1471 01:07:12,810 --> 01:07:08,950 I adore because I never got to meet keel 1472 01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:12,820 and you know I'm coming into this after 1473 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:14,650 the fact but to hear you guys actually 1474 01:07:18,270 --> 01:07:16,330 talked about keel as a man to me it's 1475 01:07:21,780 --> 01:07:18,280 really exciting because I I didn't know 1476 01:07:26,070 --> 01:07:21,790 him yeah we even went to see killer 1477 01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:26,080 Klowns from outer space together that 1478 01:07:33,570 --> 01:07:31,150 became one of our favorite movies it was 1479 01:07:35,970 --> 01:07:33,580 but it lasted for three days on Time 1480 01:07:38,490 --> 01:07:35,980 Square and then it it disappeared 1481 01:07:43,740 --> 01:07:38,500 although of course it's played you know 1482 01:07:46,170 --> 01:07:43,750 in the midnight movies and it streams on 1483 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:46,180 Netflix or one of these channels and 1484 01:07:51,780 --> 01:07:47,890 it's it's quite a film if you haven't 1485 01:07:56,310 --> 01:07:51,790 seen it the UFO is in the shape of a 1486 01:07:58,920 --> 01:07:56,320 circus tent and the aliens are clowns 1487 01:08:03,180 --> 01:07:58,930 and they're ray guns are shootout cotton 1488 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:03,190 candy well you know I remember Woody's 1489 01:08:12,420 --> 01:08:07,930 wife talking about meeting injured Cole 1490 01:08:14,910 --> 01:08:12,430 and the others and she she said that 1491 01:08:18,329 --> 01:08:14,920 they scared her that she thought that 1492 01:08:20,690 --> 01:08:18,339 they were up to no good and because they 1493 01:08:24,660 --> 01:08:20,700 look so human that they were basically 1494 01:08:29,090 --> 01:08:24,670 infiltrating you know mankind or 1495 01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:29,100 something but I know that you know after 1496 01:08:34,710 --> 01:08:32,290 after he died I think wasn't it Tim that 1497 01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:34,720 you know she came forward and and said 1498 01:08:38,490 --> 01:08:36,490 that you know she didn't know what was 1499 01:08:40,050 --> 01:08:38,500 going on but she know that she knew that 1500 01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:40,060 there you know something was happening 1501 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:43,450 something real was going on and there 1502 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:45,730 were other people kinda is reminiscent 1503 01:08:52,289 --> 01:08:49,810 of the Howard manager experiences there 1504 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:52,299 were other people there - who saw ships 1505 01:08:58,440 --> 01:08:55,690 landing behind their house and all sorts 1506 01:09:02,249 --> 01:08:58,450 of weird phenomena that cannot easily be 1507 01:09:04,650 --> 01:09:02,259 explained but that's a said I mean there 1508 01:09:05,340 --> 01:09:04,660 was just all kinds of you know unusual 1509 01:09:08,490 --> 01:09:05,350 phenomena 1510 01:09:10,620 --> 01:09:08,500 taking place in that area you know at 1511 01:09:13,770 --> 01:09:10,630 that time I mean as you know Seth 1512 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:13,780 pointed out in his film you know people 1513 01:09:22,260

flap 1516 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:28,839 of UFOs that took place at around the 1517 01:09:34,079 --> 01:09:30,850 same time as in Birdman which you know 1518 01:09:37,050 --> 01:09:34,089 was really unusual and I hear the music 1519 01:09:38,370 --> 01:09:37,060 playing Tim so that means that we're 1520 01:09:40,380 --> 01:09:38,380 gonna have to go to our bottom of the 1521 01:09:43,829 -->

fascinating but and a lot of the 1555 01:11:22,979 --> 01:11:19,810 sightings a number of the sightings are 1556 01:11:26,939 --> 01:11:22,989 right around Second City the comedy 1557 01:11:28,470 --> 01:11:26,949 theater there and I used to help but Amy 1558 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:28,480 Poehler and her friends there from there 1559 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:30,730 they're from Chicago and they came to 1560 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:34,690 New York and they were pulling media 1561 01:11:38,700 --> 01:11:36,489 pranks and also I had our local TV show 1562 01:11:41,220 --> 01:11:38,710 so they would give me films to run to 1563 01:11:42,300 --> 01:11:41,230 help them with these pranks and we're 1564 01:11:43,470 --> 01:11:42,310 supposed to present them and say they're 1565 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:43,480 real is oh because they were also 1566 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:45,330 influenced by Andy Kaufman that was my 1567 01:11:49,740 --> 01:11:47,650 connection with them we all loved 1568 01:11:53,100 --> 01:11:49,750 antique elephant kind of pranks but they 1569 01:11:54,780 --> 01:11:53,110 did this one thing where they started 1570 01:11:56,100 --> 01:11:54,790 writing the local newspaper of the New 1571 01:11:58,290 --> 01:11:56,110 York Press which doesn't exist anymore 1572 01:11:59,669 --> 01:11:58,300 and they had a letter section that 1573 01:12:01,260 --> 01:11:59,679 everyone read for some reason is very 1574 01:12:03,570 --> 01:12:01,270 popular and so they started writing 1575 01:12:05,490 --> 01:12:03,580 saying that there was a sport that was 1576 01:12:07,169 --> 01:12:05,500 real called Thunder ball where I was 1577 01:12:08,580 --> 01:12:07,179 like baseball except that after you hit 1578 01:12:10,050 --> 01:12:08,590 the ball you can carry the bat with you 1579 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:10,060 and try and hit the fielders if they try 1580 01:12:12,930 --> 01:12:11,650 and tag them out and stuff like that and 1581 01:12:14,189 --> 01:12:12,940 so they 1582 01:12:16,170 --> 01:12:14,199 started writing letters to the Newark 1583 01:12:17,130 --> 01:12:16,180 press saying this is the American sport 1584 01:12:18,750 --> 01:12:17,140 it's the great sport and then other 1585 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:18,760 people would write in saying no it's 1586 01:12:22,590 --> 01:12:20,890 it's unamerican it's it's a violent and 1587 01:12:24,390 --> 01:12:22,600 it should be banned and but the whole 1588 01:12:26,340 --> 01:12:24,400 thing was - so then they would they 1589 01:12:27,420 --> 01:12:26,350 asked us to write in and then they asked 1590 01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:27,430 their audience they would ask to 1591 01:12:31,610 --> 01:12:29,110 writings at every show to write ins in 1592 01:12:33,540 --> 01:12:31,620 Europe press and take a side on the the 1593 01:12:37,380 --> 01:12:33,550 Thunderball issue I think it was called 1594 01:12:39,209 --> 01:12:37,390 so when I noticed that a lot of the 1595 01:12:43,020 --> 01:12:39,219 Mothman sightings in Chicago 1596 01:12:44,459 --> 01:12:43,030 in second city I started to think you 1597 01:12:48,030 --> 01:12:44,469 know this could be something like that 1598 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:48,040 it could be an organized prank with one 1599 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:51,730 central source and I suggested Toulon 1600 01:12:55,020 --> 01:12:53,530 Strickler no actually I didn't I said 1601 01:12:58,620 --> 01:12:55,030 suggested to friends and they suggested 1602 01:12:59,970 --> 01:12:58,630 to LA instructor on Twitter that if 1603 01:13:01,260 --> 01:12:59,980 somebody really want to investigate this 1604 01:13:03,090 --> 01:13:01,270 they should look at everyone's Facebook 1605 01:13:05,430 --> 01:13:03,100 that reports stuff see if they've been 1606 01:13:09,420 --> 01:13:05,440 to a local comedy show recently see if 1607 01:13:11,010 --> 01:13:09,430 their improv students or you know look 1608 01:13:12,330 --> 01:13:11,020 into that kind of stuff and there are a 1609 01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:12,340 lot of different kinds of people who 1610 01:13:16,530 --> 01:13:14,530 pull different kinds of pranks and a lot 1611 01:13:18,810 --> 01:13:16,540 of it's just because of the thrill of 1612 01:13:21,420 --> 01:13:18,820 influence in influencing the local 1613 01:13:23,130 --> 01:13:21,430 culture you know so my main interest in 1614 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:23,140 all this kind of stuff is the cultural 1615 01:13:26,610 --> 01:13:24,610 aspect because I'm an artist I'm not a 1616 01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:26,620 scientist you know and I don't pretend 1617 01:13:30,810 --> 01:13:28,690 to be scientists that's kind of why I 1618 01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:30,820 like Kiel he thought of himself as an 1619 01:13:35,010 --> 01:13:33,370 artist and a journalist he didn't see he 1620 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:35,020 didn't like say oh I'm a cryptozoologist 1621 01:13:39,689 --> 01:13:36,850 I'm a scientist you have to take him 1622 01:13:41,550 --> 01:13:39,699 seriously he was the first to make jokes 1623 01:13:46,140 --> 01:13:41,560 about himself and make jokes about the 1624 01:13:47,820 --> 01:13:46,150 situation so um yeah but a lot of times 1625 01:13:49,170 --> 01:13:47,830 when I bring that up to people they take 1626 01:13:50,580 --> 01:13:49,180 it the wrong way and they take it like 1627 01:13:52,620 --> 01:13:50,590 oh you don't believe in you're a cynic 1628 01:13:53,910 --> 01:13:52,630 or whatever look no I don't believe or 1629 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:53,920 disbelieve one of the things that he'll 1630 01:13:58,470 --> 01:13:56,290 always told me was that it's very 1631 01:13:59,700 --> 01:13:58,480 important to remain agnostic when you're 1632 01:14:02,900 --> 01:13:59,710 dealing with all this stuff because if 1633 01:14:06,090 --> 01:14:02,910 you start to believe anything in this 1634 01:14:07,770 --> 01:14:06,100 area of the weird area then you're gonna 1635 01:14:09,270 --> 01:14:07,780 go crazy because that's what happens to 1636 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:09,280 the contactees and so forth yeah yeah 1637 01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:11,770 but he come on he had enough weird 1638 01:14:16,650 --> 01:14:15,489 experiences that would make a person the 1639 01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:16,660 you know mind whirl 1640 01:14:20,670 --> 01:14:19,330 I mean he even had that he even had 1641 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:20,680 people going underneath his kitchen 1642 01:14:26,130 --> 01:14:23,650 cabinet like an interdimensional I mean 1643 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:26,140 he had he had a whole lot of things and 1644 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:26,650 of course 1645 01:14:31,740 --> 01:14:29,530 telephone calls that he received in the 1646 01:14:33,570 --> 01:14:31,750 home yeah yeah in the end point pleasure 1647 01:14:36,060 --> 01:14:33,580 guy who does John keel comm kind of 1648 01:14:37,740 --> 01:14:36,070 solved that mystery though he it seems 1649 01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:37,750 that he did he found circumstantial 1650 01:14:41,340 --> 01:14:39,730 evidence that suggest strongly that it 1651 01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:41,350 was this family from Connecticut that 1652 01:14:44,189 --> 01:14:42,730 was actually spying on him not the 1653 01:14:45,570 --> 01:14:44,199 government or whatever there were these 1654 01:14:47,189 --> 01:14:45,580 people who were convinced that you have 1655 01:14:48,870 --> 01:14:47,199 people involved in UFOs were like 1656 01:14:50,189 --> 01:14:48,880 Russians or something like that it 1657 01:14:51,780 --> 01:14:50,199 wasn't so they were paranoid and so they 1658 01:14:53,910 --> 01:14:51,790 were spying on qu'il to find out if he 1659 01:14:56,459 --> 01:14:53,920 was a Russian spy and just trying to you 1660 01:14:57,959 --> 01:14:56,469 know mess with people's minds if there 1661 01:15:00,090 --> 01:14:57,969 was some kind of nefarious reason he was 1662 01:15:01,410 --> 01:15:00,100 writing these things so that seems to be 1663 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:01,420 what what that was about 1664 01:15:05,130 --> 01:15:03,610 you can check John keel comm not that 1665 01:15:11,870 --> 01:15:05,140 like that guy does a great job 1666 01:15:16,740 --> 01:15:14,790 what about him yeah well I mean did you 1667 01:15:18,959 --> 01:15:16,750 do anything is he really ready did you 1668 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:18,969 do any research on other telephone calls 1669 01:15:26,250 --> 01:15:23,170 or what or him being a legitimate person 1670 01:15:29,820 --> 01:15:26,260 or a real person or I really haven't 1671 01:15:32,370 --> 01:15:29,830 done any in-depth like investigating 1672 01:15:34,410 --> 01:15:32,380 into this stuff and I haven't been able 1673 01:15:36,270 --> 01:15:34,420 to do that kind of thing since our first 1674 01:15:38,370 --> 01:15:36,280 movie simply because of the amount of 1675 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:38,380 time we spend you know working on the 1676 01:15:43,350 --> 01:15:39,730 movie and then moving on to the next 1677 01:15:44,550 --> 01:15:43,360 movie so I would love to do something 1678 01:15:47,220 --> 01:15:44,560 you got to do it you got it 1679 01:15:49,380 --> 01:15:47,230 what director's cut right right well 1680 01:15:51,419 --> 01:15:49,390 that's that's kind of what Case Files is 1681 01:15:54,590 --> 01:15:51,429 gonna be Case Files this is like free 1682 01:15:57,780 --> 01:15:54,600 web series we're putting up on YouTube 1683 01:16:00,390 --> 01:15:57,790 where I'm going to try to find the time 1684 01:16:02,970 --> 01:16:00,400 somehow to interview additional people 1685 01:16:05,550 --> 01:16:02,980 and then add in some cutscenes and stuff 1686 01:16:08,220 --> 01:16:05,560 from our movies to kind of expand the 1687 01:16:10,709 --> 01:16:08,230 backstory of some some aspects of the 1688 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:10,719 film that some people might feel you 1689 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:12,850 know didn't get enough time on on screen 1690 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:14,650 so that would definitely include you 1691 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:17,770 know the injured cold and the things 1692 01:16:23,729 --> 01:16:21,130 like you know the the UFO aspect of the 1693 01:16:26,490 --> 01:16:23,739 Whitehall Bigfoot case and you know just 1694 01:16:28,050 --> 01:16:26,500 different things like that so I did you 1695 01:16:30,330 --> 01:16:28,060 know that's that's why I went and 1696 01:16:32,790 --> 01:16:30,340 interviewed Tonya derenberger I found 1697 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:32,800 out she lived fairly and close to me so 1698 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:34,810 I went and you know I took the 1699 01:16:40,180 --> 01:16:37,130 opportunity to talk to her about 1700 01:16:43,060 --> 01:16:40,190 injured and and that mean the way that 1701 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:43,070 influenced her life hurt her take on 1702 01:16:47,590 --> 01:16:45,890 injured is very different from anything 1703 01:16:50,020 --> 01:16:47,600 else that I've heard and uh you know I 1704 01:16:53,170 --> 01:16:50,030 don't know how to take that exactly 1705 01:16:55,660 --> 01:16:53,180 but she you know to her he was just 1706 01:17:00,310 --> 01:16:55,670 basically like her dad's friend 1707 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:00,320 her dad's exotic friend and she claimed 1708 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:03,770 that you know he him and his wife and 1709 01:17:07,750 --> 01:17:06,170 kids came to her house and had had 1710 01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:07,760 dinner with them one night and stuff 1711 01:17:13,690 --> 01:17:10,960 like that so it's it's it's almost like 1712 01:17:16,390 --> 01:17:13,700 one of those situations where the more 1713 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:16,400 you learn about it the more bizarre it 1714 01:17:23,470 --> 01:17:18,530 becomes and the more questions it leaves 1715 01:17:25,750 --> 01:17:23,480 you with I guess that in that area you 1716 01:17:28,140 --> 01:17:25,760 know people who grew up during that time 1717 01:17:32,940 --> 01:17:28,150 endured cold kind of became almost like 1718 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:32,950 the bully man of the of the regent and 1719 01:17:38,350 --> 01:17:35,810 you know people still talk about him I 1720 01:17:40,060 --> 01:17:38,360 mean you know which is to be kind of odd 1721 01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:40,070 because he seems almost to be like you 1722 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:41,770 know I mean it's kind of like a fringe 1723 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:44,570 aspect of everything that went on there 1724 01:17:49,570 --> 01:17:46,730 but I mean there are people who talk 1725 01:17:53,020 --> 01:17:49,580 about him like like he's still living 1726 01:17:56,050 --> 01:17:53,030 next door almost yes something she said 1727 01:17:59,680 --> 01:17:56,060 that that's very interesting is that 1728 01:18:03,090 --> 01:17:59,690 that injuried was seen by other 1729 01:18:05,530 --> 01:18:03,100 motorists that night along the road 1730 01:18:07,090 --> 01:18:05,540 which is something I'd wondered about 1731 01:18:10,300 --> 01:18:07,100 for a while and she was telling me she 1732 01:18:14,170 --> 01:18:10,310 she had actually dug into some archives 1733 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:14,180 at Ace she said there's a UFO archive in 1734 01:18:18,700 --> 01:18:16,610 Switzerland I believe and she had 1735 01:18:20,890 --> 01:18:18,710 contacted them and maybe you guys can 1736 01:18:23,980 --> 01:18:20,900 speak to the truth behind that but she 1737 01:18:27,190 --> 01:18:23,990 spoke to them and they they were able to 1738 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:27,200 verify that there were reports of other 1739 01:18:33,460 --> 01:18:29,930 motorists who had seen would he pulled 1740 01:18:36,220 --> 01:18:33,470 over on the side of that road talking to 1741 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:36,230 someone who was standing on the side 1742 01:18:40,300 --> 01:18:37,610 they were talking to him through the car 1743 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:40,310 she they need there's no reports of a 1744 01:18:44,110 --> 01:18:42,290 UFO but they did see him pulled over 1745 01:18:47,230 --> 01:18:44,120 talking to a man which I thought was 1746 01:18:49,390 --> 01:18:47,240 intriguing because yeah I don't 77s a 1747 01:18:50,620 --> 01:18:49,400 busy highway in fact I went to the exact 1748 01:18:52,900 --> 01:18:50,630 spot where his 1749 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:52,910 fighting would have occurred or at least 1750 01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:54,890 within you know a relatively close 1751 01:18:58,690 --> 01:18:56,810 proximity to where it would have 1752 01:19:02,140 --> 01:18:58,700 occurred and obviously things would have 1753 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:02,150 been a little different in 1966 but you 1754 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:03,410 know still there would have been other 1755 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:06,050 motorists on a major highway like that 1756 01:19:10,900 --> 01:19:08,690 so I was always curious other people had 1757 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:10,910 said anything about seeing him the other 1758 01:19:14,980 --> 01:19:12,410 thing I thought was intriguing about 1759 01:19:17,740 --> 01:19:14,990 that is the report that we included in 1760 01:19:21,250 --> 01:19:17,750 the movie that Kiel had actually 1761 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:21,260 mentioned where where there was a car 1762 01:19:25,780 --> 01:19:23,930 that was headed southbound woody was 1763 01:19:27,870 --> 01:19:25,790 headed well woody was headed southbound 1764 01:19:31,300 --> 01:19:27,880 the other car was headed northbound 1765 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:31,310 about an hour after Woody's sighting and 1766 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:35,090 they said that they saw a ship land in 1767 01:19:39,370 --> 01:19:37,010 the road in front of their car and two 1768 01:19:41,830 --> 01:19:39,380 men and overalls or coveralls get out of 1769 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:41,840 it and that would have been going in the 1770 01:19:47,380 --> 01:19:45,890 opposite direction of Woody's I might be 1771 01:19:48,730 --> 01:19:47,390 mixing up two stories they might have 1772 01:19:50,530 --> 01:19:48,740 actually I think what they actually said 1773 01:19:52,570 --> 01:19:50,540 they saw it was the the grinning man is 1774 01:19:54,460 --> 01:19:52,580 how they referred to him not to Cove 1775 01:19:55,990 --> 01:19:54,470 coveralls I know who I'm getting that 1776 01:19:58,060 --> 01:19:56,000 mixed up but I thought that was an 1777 01:20:00,040 --> 01:19:58,070 intriguing exciting because it seems to 1778 01:20:03,490 --> 01:20:00,050 verify that something was going on right 1779 01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:03,500 in that vicinity that night whatever it 1780 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:04,610 was I have no idea 1781 01:20:11,740 --> 01:20:10,250 now how time wise well what was the the 1782 01:20:15,100 --> 01:20:11,750 timeline between then and the Point 1783 01:20:18,370 --> 01:20:15,110 Pleasant sightings well the Point 1784 01:20:21,310 --> 01:20:18,380 Pleasant sightings kicked up right 1785 01:20:24,850 --> 01:20:21,320 around what like a week later or a 1786 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:24,860 couple days later because it ties it 1787 01:20:32,290 --> 01:20:27,890 also ties in to the to the sighting of 1788 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:32,300 the weird lights on the farm and now I'm 1789 01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:34,250 blanking on the witness's name but that 1790 01:20:40,030 --> 01:20:36,770 the the man the farmer who owned the dog 1791 01:20:42,130 --> 01:20:40,040 the bandit that ran off after oh yes yes 1792 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:42,140 the red lights and never came back but 1793 01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:44,570 all that all took place days prior to 1794 01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:47,510 the Scarberry Mallett sighting of course 1795 01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:49,970 the Scarberry Mallett sighting isn't the 1796 01:20:54,070 --> 01:20:52,850 actual first sighting of the Mothman it 1797 01:20:57,090 --> 01:20:54,080 seems like the first sighting of the 1798 01:21:00,940 --> 01:20:57,100 Mothman would have been at the clendenon 1799 01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:00,950 graveyard when the gravediggers saw saw 1800 01:21:04,450 --> 01:21:03,410 the monster or saw the Mothman what's 1801 01:21:07,030 --> 01:21:04,460 intriguing about that is 1802 01:21:09,700 --> 01:21:07,040 when Denon it's actually extremely close 1803 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:09,710 to flatwoods it's right down the road 1804 01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:12,290 from flatwoods so it's it's actually 1805 01:21:16,270 --> 01:21:14,450 closer to flatwoods than it would be to 1806 01:21:18,490 --> 01:21:16,280 to Point Pleasant but they said they saw 1807 01:21:20,650 --> 01:21:18,500 you know something that seems to have 1808 01:21:24,670 --> 01:21:20,660 resembled the Mothman flyover while they 1809 01:21:26,830 --> 01:21:24,680 were digging that grave and then there 1810 01:21:31,300 --> 01:21:26,840 was a sighting at the National Guard 1811 01:21:34,210 --> 01:21:31,310 Armory which is right right by the TNT 1812 01:21:36,810 --> 01:21:34,220 Factory area so there was a sighting 1813 01:21:38,860 --> 01:21:36,820 there prior to the Scarberry mellotts 1814 01:21:41,260 --> 01:21:38,870 encounter as well so there were a couple 1815 01:21:43,750 --> 01:21:41,270 you know possible Mothman sightings 1816 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:43,760 prior to the Scarberry amounts it just 1817 01:21:48,130 --> 01:21:45,890 seems like discovery mallets is what 1818 01:21:50,380 --> 01:21:48,140 really kicked everything off but what 1819 01:21:52,300 --> 01:21:50,390 confuses me and maybe you guys might 1820 01:21:55,150 --> 01:21:52,310 have an answer here but what confuses me 1821 01:21:57,670 --> 01:21:55,160 about the Scarberry mallets encounter is 1822 01:22:01,150 --> 01:21:57,680 that there was a fifth person that was 1823 01:22:04,660 --> 01:22:01,160 with them that night who is is left out 1824 01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:04,670 of typical reports of the way that that 1825 01:22:09,340 --> 01:22:07,610 evening went down and including in our 1826 01:22:11,380 --> 01:22:09,350 film we didn't included because I wasn't 1827 01:22:14,310 --> 01:22:11,390 able to verify anything but supposedly 1828 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:14,320 there was a fifth occupant of the car 1829 01:22:20,170 --> 01:22:17,570 and in fact Loren Coleman pointed out to 1830 01:22:21,670 --> 01:22:20,180 me he's in the photo the famous photo of 1831 01:22:23,830 --> 01:22:21,680 the scar berries and the mallets 1832 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:23,840 standing together he's standing right 1833 01:22:28,660 --> 01:22:26,810 behind them kind of in frame but in 1834 01:22:31,270 --> 01:22:28,670 shadow enough that you never noticed him 1835 01:22:33,460 --> 01:22:31,280 and was someone point him out to you and 1836 01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:33,470 and I believe he was one of their 1837 01:22:40,030 --> 01:22:35,690 cousins but supposedly he was in the car 1838 01:22:42,940 --> 01:22:40,040 with them that night well I had I have 1839 01:22:45,070 --> 01:22:42,950 heard and and and they may have told you 1840 01:22:48,010 --> 01:22:45,080 this or you know the people who involved 1841 01:22:53,950 --> 01:22:48,020 with this that that they were actually 1842 01:22:57,850 --> 01:22:53,960 out looking to harass teenagers other 1843 01:23:02,380 --> 01:22:57,860 teenagers at lovers lanes there in the 1844 01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:02,390 the TNT area so that is always kind of 1845 01:23:05,550 --> 01:23:03,890 surprised me that they after their 1846 01:23:08,910 --> 01:23:05,560 encounter they went to the police 1847 01:23:12,420 --> 01:23:08,920 because they had already been out I 1848 01:23:14,530 --> 01:23:12,430 guess shiny shiny lights on other cars 1849 01:23:17,590 --> 01:23:14,540 supposedly the story goes that they were 1850 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:17,600 they were out there on Lovers Lane you 1851 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:17,930 know 1852 01:23:22,180 --> 01:23:21,050 hanging out in a light diet her I would 1853 01:23:24,310 --> 01:23:22,190 heard that they would they were out 1854 01:23:26,770 --> 01:23:24,320 because you know I mean what they were 1855 01:23:30,310 --> 01:23:26,780 they were already married and they were 1856 01:23:36,100 --> 01:23:30,320 out having their fun by harassing 1857 01:23:39,510 --> 01:23:36,110 anybody else trying to have fun so it 1858 01:23:45,670 --> 01:23:39,520 Seth have you investigated any of the 1859 01:23:49,870 --> 01:23:45,680 the Thunderbirds no other than the the 1860 01:23:52,270 --> 01:23:49,880 report that we have in our film you know 1861 01:23:53,860 --> 01:23:52,280 at the summer bird signing up on the 1862 01:23:56,410 --> 01:23:53,870 Chestnut Ridge we haven't done much with 1863 01:23:59,200 --> 01:23:56,420 the Thunderbird stories there's the you 1864 01:24:03,180 --> 01:23:59,210 know the accounts of the Birdman which 1865 01:24:05,860 --> 01:24:03,190 which almost has Thunderbird like the 1866 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:05,870 characteristics that's talked about in 1867 01:24:11,770 --> 01:24:09,650 our movie that's about it in the Mothman 1868 01:24:16,660 --> 01:24:11,780 movie that's about as close as we've 1869 01:24:18,430 --> 01:24:16,670 gotten so I talked to Ken Gerhard at 1870 01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:18,440 length about that stuff because he's 1871 01:24:24,250 --> 01:24:20,690 he's a big you know Thunderbird 1872 01:24:29,590 --> 01:24:24,260 researcher but I haven't delved into it 1873 01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:29,600 much for myself oh you really you you 1874 01:24:34,300 --> 01:24:32,690 really should I that would be a good 1875 01:24:37,060 --> 01:24:34,310 movie for you to do because I'm thinking 1876 01:24:39,580 --> 01:24:37,070 about like the the Illinois and there 1877 01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:39,590 were some in Indiana sightings that took 1878 01:24:45,790 --> 01:24:42,110 place as a whole or like a flap haha 1879 01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:45,800 clap of thunder bird sightings in the in 1880 01:24:52,930 --> 01:24:50,090 the 70s so - there's a an etching or a 1881 01:24:55,690 --> 01:24:52,940 painting on the side of the I think is 1882 01:24:59,170 --> 01:24:55,700 it's a Mississippi River that were 1883 01:25:01,150 --> 01:24:59,180 supposedly made by a Native Americans I 1884 01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:01,160 believe it's been retouched over the 1885 01:25:07,450 --> 01:25:05,210 years but oh yeah it it's it's collapsed 1886 01:25:12,130 --> 01:25:07,460 now they have I guess it's like a metal 1887 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:12,140 mural that hangs over the sides yes TSS 1888 01:25:18,430 --> 01:25:14,930 Bird I think it's cool yes yes yeah yeah 1889 01:25:20,530 --> 01:25:18,440 very very spectacular looking so and 1890 01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:20,540 yeah there's a whole Native American you 1891 01:25:26,910 --> 01:25:22,130 know traditional Thunderbird in that 1892 01:25:34,620 --> 01:25:30,600 so when do you expect your your 1893 01:25:37,980 --> 01:25:34,630 flatwoods monster film to be finished 1894 01:25:41,430 --> 01:25:37,990 and then released it'll be released 1895 01:25:42,570 --> 01:25:41,440 right around April 6th which that's I 1896 01:25:43,740 --> 01:25:42,580 think this is the first time I've 1897 01:25:45,900 --> 01:25:43,750 actually said that really stayed 1898 01:25:49,350 --> 01:25:45,910 anywhere but yeah I think April 6th is 1899 01:25:52,110 --> 01:25:49,360 the planned release date it's going to 1900 01:25:56,670 --> 01:25:52,120 be a short film it's probably gonna be 1901 01:25:59,040 --> 01:25:56,680 around 40 to 45 minutes and yeah April 1902 01:26:00,740 --> 01:25:59,050 early April is the plan there and then 1903 01:26:02,580 --> 01:26:00,750 in June we're putting out a champ 1904 01:26:05,460 --> 01:26:02,590 miniseries which is about the lake 1905 01:26:08,940 --> 01:26:05,470 champlain monster yeah and then we are 1906 01:26:11,550 --> 01:26:08,950 doing a Bray Road documentary next 1907 01:26:13,140 --> 01:26:11,560 October so and we launch we do we fund 1908 01:26:15,300 --> 01:26:13,150 all of our films through Kickstarter so 1909 01:26:18,510 --> 01:26:15,310 that that'll probably launch right 1910 01:26:22,940 --> 01:26:18,520 around January 26th what would you say 1911 01:26:27,660 --> 01:26:22,950 is your most popular profitable movie 1912 01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:27,670 Mothman wealth minute no yeah yeah yeah 1913 01:26:33,630 --> 01:26:29,890 the Mothman movie actually was fairly 1914 01:26:35,790 --> 01:26:33,640 mainstream for for our movies and 1915 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:35,800 compared to our others it the amount of 1916 01:26:41,670 --> 01:26:38,410 people that have viewed it is fairly 1917 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:41,680 obscene for I mean it's it's the movie 1918 01:26:46,170 --> 01:26:43,810 that kind of netted us a distribution 1919 01:26:48,450 --> 01:26:46,180 deal and all that kind of stuff so we're 1920 01:26:50,490 --> 01:26:48,460 you know we're still very independent 1921 01:26:52,260 --> 01:26:50,500 but we did manage to sign with a 1922 01:26:54,090 --> 01:26:52,270 distributor who hasn't bothered to 1923 01:26:57,180 --> 01:26:54,100 release our movies but you know whatever 1924 01:26:59,810 --> 01:26:57,190 I have the same problem with mine yeah I 1925 01:27:02,550 --> 01:26:59,820 think we know we know that situation 1926 01:27:05,730 --> 01:27:02,560 yeah I told I actually told my sales 1927 01:27:09,470 --> 01:27:05,740 agent today that that I I don't know how 1928 01:27:15,130 --> 01:27:09,480 I feel about distributors at this point 1929 01:27:21,410 --> 01:27:20,060 that is a word that exists so so Peter 1930 01:27:23,590 --> 01:27:21,420 what do you what do you got rolling 1931 01:27:27,470 --> 01:27:23,600 along here in the near future 1932 01:27:29,810 --> 01:27:27,480 well actually we I started putting up I 1933 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:29,820 haven't done our audio blog for a while 1934 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:32,370 audio podcast of the scary stories but 1935 01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:34,650 starting today we have a new story every 1936 01:27:38,630 --> 01:27:36,810 day for the rest of October until 1937 01:27:39,350 --> 01:27:38,640 Halloween so that's one thing that's 1938 01:27:43,700 --> 01:27:39,360 going on 1939 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:43,710 wow it's a lot of work well no I have a 1940 01:27:47,300 --> 01:27:45,810 backlog because I put them up for a 1941 01:27:50,180 --> 01:27:47,310 while so I've been collecting them yeah 1942 01:27:52,430 --> 01:27:50,190 I wanted to do this for October so yeah 1943 01:27:55,070 --> 01:27:52,440 so that's what each one runs how many 1944 01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:55,080 minutes well it's the one that's up now 1945 01:27:58,430 --> 01:27:56,489 is only like five minutes but some of 1946 01:27:59,450 --> 01:27:58,440 them are longer it's gonna be different 1947 01:28:01,729 --> 01:27:59,460 every day 1948 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:01,739 just really just whatever the stories 1949 01:28:07,010 --> 01:28:04,050 are no simplify some of them are 20 1950 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:07,020 minutes you know in that reach so 1951 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:09,210 usually it's when people's attention 1952 01:28:15,950 --> 01:28:11,970 attention spins or shorter than they 1953 01:28:18,260 --> 01:28:15,960 ever were before yeah but on YouTube the 1954 01:28:20,540 --> 01:28:18,270 longer ones seem to do better 1955 01:28:21,890 --> 01:28:20,550 you know hour to hour video is the one 1956 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:21,900 that's gotten the most views this month 1957 01:28:28,340 --> 01:28:26,130 so our best of so I collect them at once 1958 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:28,350 a month or so once every month or two 1959 01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:30,690 into a longer one and that usually it's 1960 01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:32,370 a rerun and I try to put one new story 1961 01:28:35,510 --> 01:28:33,570 in there and that usually gets more 1962 01:28:37,490 --> 01:28:35,520 views than all the some people just wait 1963 01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:37,500 for the long ones yeah in the publishing 1964 01:28:42,050 --> 01:28:40,650 business we call that a pick up when you 1965 01:28:44,570 --> 01:28:42,060 would rent well yeah when you would run 1966 01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:44,580 a material that had been you know called 1967 01:28:49,310 --> 01:28:46,610 from previous issues 1968 01:28:51,470 --> 01:28:49,320 yeah well it's people who like scary 1969 01:28:53,450 --> 01:28:51,480 stories want to listen to it on their 1970 01:28:57,670 --> 01:28:53,460 job if they have a job where like a 1971 01:29:02,780 --> 01:29:00,590 exactly they don't have a job and it 1972 01:29:08,450 --> 01:29:02,790 gives them something to do yeah well 1973 01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:08,460 they well they look for what yeah so 1974 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:10,170 that's that's basically what's up with 1975 01:29:16,940 --> 01:29:11,489 us and I'm working on a Christmas album 1976 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:16,950 for my cartoon bands can you tell what 1977 01:29:23,270 --> 01:29:19,530 what the average age of your audience is 1978 01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:23,280 for the spooky stories on YouTube they 1979 01:29:28,460 --> 01:29:26,250 have stats and demographics but the 1980 01:29:30,050 --> 01:29:28,470 thing is everyone who's young on YouTube 1981 01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:30,060 about their age so it's hard to tell the 1982 01:29:34,790 --> 01:29:32,250 ages I can tell the genders and it's 1983 01:29:37,430 --> 01:29:34,800 mostly male it's like 67% male some 1984 01:29:40,430 --> 01:29:37,440 months and up to 75% male 1985 01:29:44,950 --> 01:29:40,440 but the ages are supposedly you know the 1986 01:29:47,420 --> 01:29:44,960 prime demographic of 21 to like 55 ish 1987 01:29:49,940 --> 01:29:47,430 but I imagine that a lot of them are 1988 01:29:51,470 --> 01:29:49,950 actually kids who just you know say that 1989 01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:51,480 they're an adult so they can because if 1990 01:29:54,740 --> 01:29:53,250 you say you're a kid on YouTube there's 1991 01:29:57,560 -->
