00:10:07,730 photography around that very same time 184 00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:09,980 my cousin went to Lilydale New York and 185 00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:11,720 had her and she went to a message 186

00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:31,730 them short messages and my cousin was 195 00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:34,760 chosen and the medium revealed details 196 00:10:38,770 --> 00:10:36,560 about my grandfather's death that proved 197 00:10:41,650 --> 00:10:38,780 to be true and proved to be this weird 198 00:10:45,130 --> 00:10:41,660 story about how he died and it was kind 199 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:45,140 of like a family secret and so she came 200 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:47,450 back and told our family what they had 201 00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:50,510 told her and it sent shockwaves you know 202

known this and so 205 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:00,920 i me being and you know high school at 206 00:11:05,470 --> 00:11:03,680 this time i was thinking how could 207 00:11:08,410 --> 00:11:05,480 somebody possibly know that it became so 208 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:08,420 intrigued but i didn't pursue it until 209 00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:10,970 years later when i became a professional 210 00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:12,260 photographer I was working as a 211 00:11:18,970 --> 00:11:15,830 photojournalist and I decided to begin a 212 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:18,980 project that explored spiritualism or 213 00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:19,730 now 214 00:11:28,540 --> 00:11:24,800 okay so sisters sort of started that off 215 00:11:31,570 --> 00:11:28,550 but we also I remember in this book on 216 00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:31,580 the the Davenport brothers they were 217 00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:33,350 known at the time course very 218 00:11:40,620 --> 00:11:36,550 controversial as the best physical 219 00:11:44,010 --> 00:11:40,630 mediums they would just sit in a 220 00:11:47,820 --> 00:11:44,020 a spirit cabinet with the the doors 221 00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:47,830 locked in their hands tied and all of a 222 00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:50,620 sudden the light of the lights that were 223 00:11:56,250 --> 00:11:52,180 put out in the room or at least dimmed 224 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:56,260 and musical instruments would would 225 00:12:00,210 --> 00:11:58,090 float above their head it would come out 226 00:12:03,270 --> 00:12:00,220 of the top of the cabinet and and 227 00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:03,280 rummage around the the room and play 228 00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:08,590 melodies and bang numbers and then of 229 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:11,350 course the seance would be over and they 230 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:13,210 would open the spiritualist cabinet and 231 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:16,000 there would be the Davenport brothers 232 00:12:23,250 --> 00:12:19,690 with their their hands still the tide so 233 00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:23,260 that no collusion or fraud it could be 234 00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:25,990 said to have occurred of course this is 235 00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:28,270 not necessarily the the case a lot of 236 00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:30,670 mediums in the early days were caught 237 00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:34,480 with their ectoplasm down I guess 238 00:12:42,410 --> 00:12:38,740 so to speak but there was also wasn't 239 00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:42,420 there two sisters who painted spirit 240 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:46,660 photos yes the Beng sisters injustice 241 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:49,930 more bang for your buck that's yes and 242 00:12:58,050 --> 00:12:53,680 the Davenport brothers I think are truly 243 00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:58,060 fascinating and I've to write something 244 00:13:05,130 --> 00:13:01,600 about them in my in my in the text of my 245 00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:05,140 book because they are a great example of 246 00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:07,780 the ambiguity that is embedded in 247 00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:09,940 spiritualism you know they refuse to 248 00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:12,310 call themselves magicians or mediums 249 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:14,590 they allowed the audience to decide that 250 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:16,510 and this would you know they would 251 00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:18,490 travel around the world their spirit 252 00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:20,550 cabinet act was one of the most popular 253 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:24,580 shows they had a run for their lives on 254 00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:27,730 several occasions they got heat up one 255 00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:29,590 woman fell down from the balcony I think 256 00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:32,800 in the in Philadelphia the the police 257 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:35,740 were called on a number of occasions and 258 00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:38,050 they had a slink out of town I think in 259 00:13:45,540 --> 00:13:41,110 Australia you know at the before the 260 00:13:47,850 --> 00:13:45,550 crack of dawn so some of these early a 261 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:47,860 spiritualist were had a lot of pressure 262 00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:51,730 on them not unlike the UFO contactees 263 00:13:59,069 --> 00:13:54,040 and abductees of today I 264 00:14:00,960 --> 00:13:59,079 I would say okay so what is for the 265 00:14:08,069 --> 00:14:00,970 record ectoplasm 266 00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:08,079 so ectoplasm is a a spiritualist it's a 267 00:14:13,309 --> 00:14:10,620 substance it's kind of like a holy 268 00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:13,319 substance for a spiritualist that 269 00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:17,230 represents the merging of the spiritual 270 00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:19,990 and material realms so it's a substance 271 00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:22,089 like it's a paradoxical substance that 272 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:24,040 is both spiritual and material at the 273 00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:28,959 same time and it usually emerges in the 274 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:31,600 classic form emerges from the body of 275 00:14:40,050 --> 00:14:35,529 the medium and becomes you know starts 276 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:40,060 out thin and then thickens and takes 277 00:14:44,730 --> 00:14:42,399 shape and takes form and in some of the 278 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:44,740 old spirit images you'll see it looks 279 00:14:51,809 --> 00:14:48,310 like cheesecloth or linen or you know 280 00:14:54,780 --> 00:14:51,819 with two-dimensional faces embedded 281 00:14:58,860 --> 00:14:54,790 within it and it's a very controversial 282 00:15:01,740 --> 00:14:58,870 topic and controversial substance you 283 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:01,750 know within spiritualism and there's 284 00:15:06,809 --> 00:15:03,730 also different definitions for it some 285 00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:06,819 people say you know it's an it's a 286 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:08,680 spiritual ether it's an energy can 287 00:15:15,389 --> 00:15:11,730 change atmosphere hypnotic perceptions 288 00:15:19,199 --> 00:15:15,399 temperature others say no it's only when 289 00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:19,209 it's in that white objective stream like 290 00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:21,790 form that everybody can see I find 291 00:15:25,710 --> 00:15:23,699 there's some fluidity to the term 292 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:25,720 depending on what seance room you're in 293 00:15:29,069 --> 00:15:27,850 you're not really sure what kind of 294 00:15:32,329 --> 00:15:29,079 active pleasant they're talking about 295 00:15:35,610 --> 00:15:32,339 and so I found that fascinating as well 296 00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:35,620 yeah they actually they they made fun of 297 00:15:41,370 --> 00:15:38,529 the whole premise of ectoplasm and the 298 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:41,380 original Ghostbusters music the movie 299 00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:43,510 they called it slime but I mean 300 00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:44,529 basically that's what they were 301 00:15:51,809 --> 00:15:46,300 referring to that was supposed to be 302 00:15:53,579 --> 00:15:51,819 ectoplasm yes and I always I you know 303 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:53,589 when I'm giving my lectures and showing 304 00:15:58,889 --> 00:15:57,250 my images I always start off with you 305 00:16:00,329 --> 00:15:58,899 know the first time I heard the term 306 00:16:03,389 --> 00:16:00,339 ectoplasm was through the movie 307 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:03,399 ghostbusters and I think many people 308 00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:05,170 that's why they're familiar with the 309 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:06,160 word 310 00:16:09,890 --> 00:16:09,010 and that is because because dan aykroyd 311 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:09,900 is actually a fourth-generation 312 00:16:15,750 --> 00:16:12,970 spiritualist and he's drawing the term 313 00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:15,760 you know from the actual practice and 314 00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:18,220 and using it in in the film but he's 315 00:16:23,510 --> 00:16:21,100 drawing it from spiritualist ritual yeah 316 00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:23,520 they used to have his grandparents had 317 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:25,630 seances right in the parlor room up 318 00:16:30,210 --> 00:16:27,850 there in Canada where he lived and his 319 00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:30,220 his father I think six or seven years 320 00:16:37,260 --> 00:16:33,340 ago wrote a very good book on the 321 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:37,270 history of spiritualism yes yes and Dan 322 00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:38,650 Aykroyd is actually going to contribute 323 00:16:43,470 --> 00:16:41,110 the foreword to my book which is cited 324 00:16:46,350 --> 00:16:43,480 absolutely absolutely excellent now we 325 00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:46,360 have a really wild a synchronicity that 326 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:49,600 took place that involves the Blues 327 00:16:53,970 --> 00:16:52,330 Brothers it's too long to go to go into 328 00:16:55,740 --> 00:16:53,980 and you're gonna get you guys are the 329 00:16:59,250 --> 00:16:55,750 guests on the show and we have repeated 330 00:17:02,730 --> 00:16:59,260 and on the air before but really wild 331 00:17:06,030 --> 00:17:02,740 just you know a totally something out of 332 00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:06,040 a philip k dick Bladerunner book Total 333 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:09,220 Recall you know so now okay now the 334 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:11,410 Spurs most movement even though it 335 00:17:19,530 --> 00:17:15,250 started in the the mid 19th century is 336 00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:19,540 still around today how big was it at its 337 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:24,420 at its peak the estimates very 338 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:27,010 classically it was said eleven million 339 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:30,970 in in the United States alone that has 340 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:33,130 been now there's historians that are 341 00:17:38,370 --> 00:17:35,440 saying you know was probably more less 342 00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:38,380 than four million but wait at its peak 343 00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:41,950 spiritualism truly it was challenged 344 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:43,960 Christianity for the most popular 345 00:17:48,540 --> 00:17:45,850 religion I mean it was incredibly 346 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:48,550 popular and it actually incorporates 347 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:50,530 Christianity that that's one thing I 348 00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:52,050 never really liked too much about 349 00:17:58,050 --> 00:17:54,070 spiritualism if you went to a 350 00:18:02,460 --> 00:17:58,060 spiritualist service like it with 351 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:02,470 someone in Florida Cassadaga it was you 352 00:18:09,210 --> 00:18:06,090 know life after death with a lot of 353 00:18:10,860 --> 00:18:09,220 Christianity put in there you know I 354 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:10,870 mean and they didn't believe in 355 00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:12,970 reincarnation of course now you have 356 00:18:18,940 --> 00:18:15,640 spiritualism and then you have spiritism 357 00:18:21,610 --> 00:18:18,950 which is slightly different 358 00:18:24,669 --> 00:18:21,620 in that they do believe in reincarnation 359 00:18:26,530 --> 00:18:24,679 is some of the other things that the 360 00:18:28,030 --> 00:18:26,540 spiritualist movement don't but a 361 00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,040 spiritualist movement was the the 362 00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:30,080 largest and it's still very active in 363 00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:32,990 the in the UK I know I get the the 364 00:18:38,530 --> 00:18:35,750 psychic news that's very glossy magazine 365 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:38,540 from over there and they list hundreds 366 00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:40,490 and hundreds of churches that are still 367 00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:43,580 very active I hear there are churches in 368 00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:46,160 various parts of the country but there 369 00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:48,230 were a lot of fewer than there were when 370 00:18:55,570 --> 00:18:51,140 I first got involved in the metaphysical 371 00:18:58,419 --> 00:18:55,580 back in the late 60s yes it spiritualism 372 00:19:00,220 --> 00:18:58,429 is definitely more alive in England and 373 00:19:02,919 --> 00:19:00,230 that's why I've actually spent a lot of 374 00:19:07,299 --> 00:19:02,929 time in England photographing their 375 00:19:09,549 --> 00:19:07,309 being and the spirit I would I would 376 00:19:13,169 --> 00:19:09,559 argue that that's the most alive and and 377 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:13,179 I would say in in Brazil specifically 378 00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:15,710 well there would be more or less the 379 00:19:27,789 --> 00:19:18,500 spirit spiritism in Brazil Allan Kardec 380 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:27,799 right yes yes and you know and then it 381 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:30,530 traveled you know from France to Brazil 382 00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:39,280 think we have a spirit coming through 383 00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:44,860 now it was acting a little bit sometimes 384 00:19:52,690 --> 00:19:47,150 switches my mic off so can you hear me 385 00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:52,700 now hear this yeah yeah okay okay so now 386 00:19:59,440 --> 00:19:55,070 okay so you say you spend a lot of time 387 00:20:01,390 --> 00:19:59,450 in the in the you a UK where 388 00:20:03,730 --> 00:20:01,400 spiritualism is a lot more active than 389 00:20:06,010 --> 00:20:03,740 here are you familiar with the the 390 00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:06,020 seances by the group is it's a soul 391 00:20:14,350 --> 00:20:10,929 group the skull group yes yes I actually 392 00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:14,360 recently traveled to Spain where Robin 393 00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:16,910 Foy Robin and Sandra Foy who are the two 394 00:20:21,340 --> 00:20:18,350 of the four members of the skull 395 00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:21,350 experiment you know where they live and 396 00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:22,640 I actually photographed some of the 397 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:25,520 skull out ports for my book and that was 398 00:20:30,010 --> 00:20:28,370 a really exciting experience and one of 399 00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:30,020 the objects one of my favorite ones that 400 00:20:35,770 --> 00:20:32,390 I was able to photograph was a device 401 00:20:39,850 --> 00:20:35,780 that they they created through the plans 402 00:20:41,260 --> 00:20:39,860 of Thomas Edison gave them plans in the 403 00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:41,270 seance room and then they built this 404 00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:44,840 device it's some trans communication 405 00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:47,120 device I don't I'm drawing a blank on 406 00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:50,780 the exact term of it but it was used you 407 00:20:55,540 --> 00:20:53,270 know for communication and you know they 408 00:20:57,940 --> 00:20:55,550 had coins they I mean they had a variety 409 00:21:00,250 --> 00:20:57,950 of objects that they had gotten yeah 410 00:21:02,770 --> 00:21:00,260 yeah there was a they had what a small 411 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,780 group of maybe ten members that would 412 00:21:08,470 --> 00:21:05,120 meet on a regular basis in somebody's a 413 00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:08,480 darkened basement and they would of 414 00:21:13,030 --> 00:21:10,400 course turn the lights off but they had 415 00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:13,040 all these materializations a very 416 00:21:19,180 --> 00:21:15,950 impressive actually taking place and 417 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:19,190 they had I guess video recorders on 418 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:22,850 recording all of the manifestations and 419 00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:26,050 like you say there were airports 420 00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:29,750 involved in the in the seances and of 421 00:21:36,340 --> 00:21:32,510 course airports are really not new when 422 00:21:39,910 --> 00:21:36,350 it comes to mediumship and say us as 423 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:39,920 they go way back in fact I have seen and 424 00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:42,770 I don't know how honest the mediums were 425 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:45,940 being here where they would pull out big 426 00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:50,090 jewels and and rubies and whatever from 427 00:21:54,550 --> 00:21:52,070 from their mouth or their ears or their 428 00:21:57,070 --> 00:21:54,560 nose or or whatever and they claimed 429 00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:57,080 that these were materializations from 430 00:22:00,970 --> 00:21:59,600 the the seance world although some 431 00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:00,980 people suspect that they might have been 432 00:22:09,190 --> 00:22:04,900 right off the bottom shelf in Woolworth 433 00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:09,200 be that baby that is is it be that as it 434 00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:13,460 may that Tim in fact didn't you see if 435 00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:18,080 some airports one time well yeah but not 436 00:22:24,460 --> 00:22:20,990 in a not in a seance type of situation 437 00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:24,470 that was a house where a poltergeist was 438 00:22:29,530 --> 00:22:26,230 happening but yeah I mean it was it was 439 00:22:33,550 --> 00:22:29,540 it was a ports it was rocks falling from 440 00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:33,560 the ceiling well that way and then you 441 00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:35,030 would throw the rocket you would mark 442 00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:36,950 the rock and throw it outside and it 443 00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:38,600 would come back through the ceiling 444 00:22:40,780 --> 00:22:39,110 again 445 00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:40,790 oh yeah well it was a handful of rocks 446 00:22:44,710 --> 00:22:43,520 and yeah I'd mark them with a magic 447 00:22:46,660 --> 00:22:44,720 marker and through mountain the 448 00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:46,670 cornfield in the 449 00:22:50,590 --> 00:22:48,320 behind the house and then just you know 450 00:22:52,330 --> 00:22:50,600 not even just a few minutes later they 451 00:22:53,770 --> 00:22:52,340 they came back you know you heard of the 452 00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:53,780 cat coming back but this was the rocks 453 00:22:59,220 --> 00:22:56,870 came back well I remember what we 454 00:23:02,530 --> 00:22:59,230 published a book not too long ago called 455 00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:02,540 Diane she came from Venus up Rainbow 456 00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:05,750 Hill and correct me if I'm wrong I 457 00:23:19,030 --> 00:23:15,880 yeah okay anyway she was part of a 458 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:19,040 spiritualist Church in the late 1940s in 459 00:23:24,670 --> 00:23:22,130 California and and a small group I mean 460 00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:24,680 I think they had 35 or 40 members but 461 00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:26,750 she would have this materialization of 462 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:31,670 this very attractive spirit entity maybe 463 00:23:38,230 --> 00:23:34,370 six feet tall on a number of occasions 464 00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:38,240 and then as she was receiving messages 465 00:23:43,540 --> 00:23:41,030 on a regular basis about how this woman 466 00:23:45,460 --> 00:23:43,550 was from another dimension on the plane 467 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:45,470 of Venus anyway we're coming up on her 468 00:23:50,590 --> 00:23:48,290 first break but don't turn that dial and 469 00:23:53,110 --> 00:23:50,600 don't go anywhere and what you're going 470 00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:53,120 to materialize back with us in a few 471 00:24:00,390 --> 00:23:55,110 minutes 472 00:24:03,630 --> 00:24:00,400 exploring the bazaars ours now back to 473 00:24:05,670 --> 00:24:03,640 exploring the bazaar with two of the 474 00:24:09,270 --> 00:24:05,680 most electrifying researchers in the 475 00:24:19,140 --> 00:24:09,280 Paranoid your hosts Timothy beckylyn and 476 00:24:21,270 --> 00:24:19,150 Taylor Swift's back again on explore in 477 00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:21,280 the bazaar and Tim I think it's time 478 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:23,920 that we bring our other guest in he's 479 00:24:30,780 --> 00:24:26,530 been patiently or impatiently maybe for 480 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:30,790 those waiting in the wings to get his 15 481 00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:33,010 minutes on the show or it's more than 15 482 00:24:38,790 --> 00:24:35,560 minutes so what do you thank you and 483 00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:38,800 shall we shall we bring him in I you 484 00:24:42,690 --> 00:24:40,630 would be a miss if you didn't ha ha 485 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:42,700 that's right well les thank you very 486 00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:44,320 much for being with us tonight on 487 00:24:48,450 --> 00:24:46,390 exploring the bazaar well thank you for 488 00:24:50,580 --> 00:24:48,460 having me appreciate it all right so now 489 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:50,590 here we've been talking in the first 490 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:53,050 half-hour you know about spiritualism 491 00:25:01,470 --> 00:24:56,170 and and and you know the spirits and 492 00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:01,480 life after death and all that but a lot 493 00:25:11,540 --> 00:25:06,430 of people don't realize that there is 494 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:11,550 kind of a fine line really between UFOs 495 00:25:21,030 --> 00:25:17,530 the UFO phenomena and ghosts and 496 00:25:23,940 --> 00:25:21,040 hauntings and spiritualism would you 497 00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:23,950 agree with that well tell you what it's 498 00:25:33,210 --> 00:25:28,990 all part of puzzle Universal puzzle that 499 00:25:36,270 --> 00:25:33,220 we experience you know it's we deal with 500 00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:36,280 our reality you know on one level but 501 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:37,780 then there are other realities there's 502 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:41,170 other energies there's there's so much 503 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:44,710 that we don't understand and so yes the 504 00:25:50,730 --> 00:25:46,810 abduction phenomena is certainly one of 505 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:50,740 the UFOs poltergeist activity is 506 00:25:58,350 --> 00:25:55,210 certainly another and we just truly have 507 00:26:01,980 --> 00:25:58,360 an issue of getting our arms around the 508 00:26:04,410 --> 00:26:01,990 whole the whole process so you know 509 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:04,420 people ask me all the time you know what 510 00:26:08,250 --> 00:26:06,610 are we dealing with are they 511 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:08,260 extraterrestrial and they 512 00:26:16,190 --> 00:26:10,690 are the time travelers are the 513 00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:16,200 inter-dimensional or is it the military 514 00:26:20,670 --> 00:26:18,760 well you know what I I believe it's all 515 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:20,680 the above it certainly don't be all the 516 00:26:28,550 --> 00:26:25,690 above and and we we just you know are 517 00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:28,560 living in our own little box here and 518 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:32,800 there's a whole lot going on around us 519 00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:38,050 that is is so unique so so incredible 520 00:26:48,780 --> 00:26:43,600 that it's it's paranormal well you know 521 00:26:52,290 --> 00:26:48,790 dr. Leo sprinkle has has said that when 522 00:26:54,210 --> 00:26:52,300 he has conducted you know like a 523 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:54,220 hypnotic sessions or even just you know 524 00:27:01,710 --> 00:26:56,530 talking to experiencers that that he's 525 00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:01,720 been told that whatever intelligence you 526 00:27:07,790 --> 00:27:03,340 know this is that they've had 527 00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:07,800 experiences with has told them that they 528 00:27:13,950 --> 00:27:12,760 travel not through linear space as you 529 00:27:16,050 --> 00:27:13,960 know as we think of you know like a 530 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:16,060 conventional spaceship you know rocket 531 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:20,530 flying through space but actually at one 532 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:23,050 point actually travels through what we 533 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:24,880 would call you know the spirit world or 534 00:27:31,710 --> 00:27:28,090 the astral world and that some of these 535 00:27:33,930 --> 00:27:31,720 experiences said that while they were on 536 00:27:37,620 --> 00:27:33,940 board these crafts that they actually 537 00:27:40,110 --> 00:27:37,630 had visitations from their loved ones 538 00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:40,120 who have passed on and I just always 539 00:27:46,190 --> 00:27:42,070 found that just a fascinating the 540 00:27:49,260 --> 00:27:46,200 concept yeah you know I think that 541 00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:49,270 during these experiences that people 542 00:27:53,580 --> 00:27:52,480 have there there's so many different you 543 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:53,590 know you have a spiritual awakening 544 00:28:00,600 --> 00:27:56,320 Kundalini awakening things of that 545 00:28:02,730 --> 00:28:00,610 nature that occur and and so being on 546 00:28:06,110 --> 00:28:02,740 board a craft for instance and and 547 00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:06,120 seeing you know someone that's passed on 548 00:28:11,070 --> 00:28:09,820 we're not sure one of the fascinating 549 00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:11,080 things I don't know if I'm gonna have 550 00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:15,600 time to get to it is that MUFON actually 551 00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:19,120 mutual UFO network actually funded a 552 00:28:24,269 --> 00:28:21,609 study that I coordinated 553 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:24,279 and we took 72 people that felt that 554 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:25,330 they had been abducted 555 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:29,200 and 50 54 people that were a control 556 00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:33,129 group and what we found was that these 557 00:28:44,239 --> 00:28:38,580 people did not were not a fantasy prone 558 00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:44,249 they they weren't crazy and and that 559 00:28:49,139 --> 00:28:47,440 there was there was some stressors early 560 00:28:52,109 --> 00:28:49,149 on in their life that caused them to 561 00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:52,119 open up and also cause their temporal 562 00:28:56,399 --> 00:28:53,710 lobe activity to be a little bit 563 00:28:58,979 --> 00:28:56,409 different than the control group and we 564 00:29:02,549 --> 00:28:58,989 want to do another study to kind of go 565 00:29:06,269 --> 00:29:02,559 further into that area but getting back 566 00:29:10,279 --> 00:29:06,279 to where you were coming from we can the 567 00:29:12,810 --> 00:29:10,289 physics that we understand now is is 568 00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:12,820 it's not it's not right 569 00:29:19,739 --> 00:29:16,960 in order for these entities to come here 570 00:29:22,169 --> 00:29:19,749 from wherever they're coming from it's 571 00:29:24,060 --> 00:29:22,179 there's a new physics that's that's out 572 00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:24,070 there and and they're getting closer to 573 00:29:28,619 --> 00:29:25,809 it they're getting closer to it you know 574 00:29:30,659 --> 00:29:28,629 quantum physics and the string theory 575 00:29:33,629 --> 00:29:30,669 and all this kind of stuff and the the 576 00:29:35,399 --> 00:29:33,639 the brands and all these different 577 00:29:37,710 --> 00:29:35,409 dimensions that rub up against each 578 00:29:40,019 --> 00:29:37,720 other you know that one of the things 579 00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:40,029 that we've experienced through a couple 580 00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:44,129 of abductees is had a case in Santa Cruz 581 00:29:50,609 --> 00:29:48,700 California where this couple observed 582 00:29:54,299 --> 00:29:50,619 this craft coming in over the ocean 583 00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:54,309 comes over their head in behind this 584 00:29:58,979 --> 00:29:55,809 little canyon behind them they were in 585 00:30:01,349 --> 00:29:58,989 Bhutan Oh state park and this is you 586 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:01,359 know fairly high up off off the ocean 587 00:30:07,619 --> 00:30:04,450 floor there and this happened four more 588 00:30:09,930 --> 00:30:07,629 times in these craft sat in the canyon 589 00:30:11,639 --> 00:30:09,940 and they did this kind of butterfly move 590 00:30:14,009 --> 00:30:11,649 where they just all sat there and just 591 00:30:16,349 --> 00:30:14,019 waved up and down and then all of a 592 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:16,359 sudden they went vertical and it's like 593 00:30:21,419 --> 00:30:18,369 they went around a corner and then they 594 00:30:23,669 --> 00:30:21,429 disappeared and and so you know what is 595 00:30:26,190 --> 00:30:23,679 that is that is that some other 596 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:26,200 dimension that they went into because a 597 00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:28,210 lot of these experiences that happen 598 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:30,339 that the craft just seems to 599 00:30:38,020 --> 00:30:34,130 instantaneously disappear or 600 00:30:41,410 --> 00:30:38,030 are able to do you know things that are 601 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:41,420 just beyond our physics right now and 602 00:30:47,230 --> 00:30:44,690 also to when when the people are more so 603 00:30:50,590 --> 00:30:47,240 in the case of contactees I suppose as 604 00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:50,600 opposed to abductees they say that 605 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:52,880 they've been you know snatched and and 606 00:30:58,930 --> 00:30:56,570 taken away they go to somewhere where 607 00:31:01,990 --> 00:30:58,940 else almost instantaneously I mean it's 608 00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:02,000 like to teleport it to another the solar 609 00:31:09,130 --> 00:31:04,510 system or star system that looks 610 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:09,140 peculiar and very strange to them but 611 00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:11,530 they're able to walk out and in breathe 612 00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:14,840 just like you know they're able to do 613 00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:17,600 the altered terrestrial since I call 614 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:20,630 them are able to do here I mean there 615 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:23,930 seems to be a parallel universe that at 616 00:31:29,650 --> 00:31:28,370 play here because certainly you know in 617 00:31:33,310 --> 00:31:29,660 the early days they talked about going 618 00:31:35,350 --> 00:31:33,320 to Venus or Mars or some other place and 619 00:31:38,470 --> 00:31:35,360 in our own solar system and that seems 620 00:31:41,050 --> 00:31:38,480 very impractical at least on a in a 621 00:31:43,660 --> 00:31:41,060 physical sense but yet I don't think 622 00:31:45,550 --> 00:31:43,670 that you can say that these events are 623 00:31:47,860 --> 00:31:45,560 not happening because they are happening 624 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:47,870 over and over and over and again again 625 00:31:54,010 --> 00:31:50,930 and it's not like is something that's 626 00:31:57,550 --> 00:31:54,020 just you know happening here in the 627 00:31:59,530 --> 00:31:57,560 United States no less it certainly is a 628 00:32:01,930 --> 00:31:59,540 worldwide phenomena we've got some of 629 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:01,940 the the strangest most documented 630 00:32:08,830 --> 00:32:05,690 reports from Brazil that's always been 631 00:32:12,190 --> 00:32:08,840 one of my favorite locales for getting 632 00:32:13,630 --> 00:32:12,200 information in the old days we there 633 00:32:16,770 --> 00:32:13,640 were a couple of groups there down there 634 00:32:19,510 --> 00:32:16,780 that actually put out a english-language 635 00:32:22,750 --> 00:32:19,520 newsletter and they had they had some 636 00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:22,760 incredible reports of UFO Giants and 637 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:25,910 one-eyed psycho Cyclops and winged 638 00:32:33,790 --> 00:32:29,810 beings and it was just some wonderful 639 00:32:36,970 --> 00:32:33,800 information that was coming our way and 640 00:32:41,050 --> 00:32:36,980 of course we have a Jay Gerrard who does 641 00:32:43,690 --> 00:32:41,060 the magazine in in Brazil UFO magazine 642 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:43,700 which i think is the longest-running UFO 643 00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:45,290 magazine in the world attracting may be 644 00:32:47,980 --> 00:32:47,630 one of the few because the Australian 645 00:32:50,380 --> 00:32:47,990 Maggie 646 00:32:52,150 --> 00:32:50,390 seen the ufologist just went out of 647 00:32:55,060 --> 00:32:52,160 business today yeah they have been 648 00:32:56,980 --> 00:32:55,070 running for 20 years they were the last 649 00:32:59,440 --> 00:32:56,990 of the printed magazines in English and 650 00:33:03,580 --> 00:32:59,450 now they are no more yeah by the way AJ 651 00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:03,590 has passed away so no way yes when I 652 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:08,120 think last year last year yeah that's 653 00:33:12,340 --> 00:33:10,880 funny there's nothing on his his site 654 00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:12,350 that I saw because I was just saying 655 00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:14,630 today that's terrible I met him yeah 656 00:33:19,410 --> 00:33:17,420 years ago he he stopped by when he was 657 00:33:22,060 --> 00:33:19,420 in the US and we had a drink 658 00:33:24,340 --> 00:33:22,070 downstairs in the in the restaurant very 659 00:33:28,090 --> 00:33:24,350 friendly Chapman and certainly very very 660 00:33:30,820 --> 00:33:28,100 well informed oh yeah absolutely he's 661 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:30,830 done a great job for sure one of the 662 00:33:35,770 --> 00:33:33,170 things too they kind of triggered 663 00:33:37,330 --> 00:33:35,780 something you know we talked about how 664 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:37,340 many people are having these types of 665 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:40,250 experience well back in 1991 the Roper 666 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:42,650 organization did a survey and they 667 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:45,170 basically came up with eight million 668 00:33:50,590 --> 00:33:47,570 people that were having these types of 669 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:50,600 experiences well that that was 1991 and 670 00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:52,370 I guarantee it's been a hell of a lot 671 00:34:02,200 --> 00:33:55,070 more people than that experiencing these 672 00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:02,210 types of phenomena so people ask me a 673 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:06,350 lot of times so why why are you into 674 00:34:10,930 --> 00:34:07,730 this I mean you got a business 675 00:34:13,330 --> 00:34:10,940 background and what happened that you've 676 00:34:15,580 --> 00:34:13,340 got involved with all of this and well 677 00:34:18,070 --> 00:34:15,590 when I was 11 years old I saw something 678 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:18,080 that scared the hell out of me and I 679 00:34:24,399 --> 00:34:19,520 went to the library started read books 680 00:34:27,250 --> 00:34:24,409 and had UFOs and the books that I picked 681 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:27,260 up were George Adamski books which I'm 682 00:34:35,169 --> 00:34:32,290 sure you're familiar with and and so 683 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:35,179 basically I was doing that for a while 684 00:34:39,149 --> 00:34:37,010 and then you know graduated from high 685 00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:39,159 school and then went off to college and 686 00:34:44,859 --> 00:34:41,929 got married had a couple of kids and 687 00:34:46,510 --> 00:34:44,869 moved out to California and was living 688 00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:46,520 in San Jose and I picked up the paper 689 00:34:52,899 --> 00:34:51,200 one day and Stanton Friedman was going 690 00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:52,909 to be talking about UFOs and a 691 00:34:58,690 --> 00:34:57,200 government cover-up and so I went to San 692 00:34:59,950 --> 00:34:58,700 Jose City College expecting to see a 693 00:35:02,270 --> 00:34:59,960 handful of people there well the 694 00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:02,280 auditorium was packed 695 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:05,609 MUFON had a table out there hawking 696 00:35:09,050 --> 00:35:07,770 their journals and so I decided well I'm 697 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:09,060 gonna get that because I want to get 698 00:35:13,609 --> 00:35:11,130 more involved and that wasn't enough 699 00:35:16,849 --> 00:35:13,619 after a while I decided well I got to 700 00:35:19,099 --> 00:35:16,859 become a field investigator so I did in 701 00:35:21,770 --> 00:35:19,109 all the cases almost without exception 702 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:21,780 that I that I investigate it turned out 703 00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:24,930 to be abduction cases in the end most of 704 00:35:30,650 --> 00:35:26,670 the most of the time people have a 705 00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:30,660 sighting like that a abduction usually 706 00:35:37,340 --> 00:35:35,670 follows so then these people asked me to 707 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:37,350 you do you know of other people having 708 00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:39,450 these types of experiences I said yes I 709 00:35:46,849 --> 00:35:42,720 do and the next thing I know I'm 710 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:46,859 facilitating a support group and that 711 00:35:52,030 --> 00:35:48,690 was fascinating to listen to these 712 00:35:56,030 --> 00:35:52,040 people talk about their experiences and 713 00:35:57,859 --> 00:35:56,040 this one day this woman in the group 714 00:35:59,859 --> 00:35:57,869 said to me I've seen you before I said 715 00:36:02,420 --> 00:35:59,869 oh really we're at the mall at you know 716 00:36:05,390 --> 00:36:02,430 grocery store or whatever says no I saw 717 00:36:09,290 --> 00:36:05,400 a board on a board a ship I said really 718 00:36:12,290 --> 00:36:09,300 yes so I I kind of blew it off because I 719 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:12,300 you know I just it wasn't something that 720 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:15,690 I had any conscious recollection of and 721 00:36:22,609 --> 00:36:20,130 so I okay so the support groups 722 00:36:24,590 --> 00:36:22,619 continued it was probably a year two 723 00:36:26,810 --> 00:36:24,600 years later that a gentleman in the 724 00:36:29,630 --> 00:36:26,820 group says hey I've seen you before 725 00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:29,640 really we're on board the craft and you 726 00:36:34,190 --> 00:36:31,260 were freaking out and they told me to go 727 00:36:37,250 --> 00:36:34,200 over and help you you calm me down and I 728 00:36:40,430 --> 00:36:37,260 said oh my god so subsequent to that I 729 00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:40,440 had three hypnotic sessions regressions 730 00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:42,510 and I had a lot of past lives but I 731 00:36:51,380 --> 00:36:45,300 never brought up anything about being on 732 00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:51,390 a craft but make a long story short we 733 00:36:56,210 --> 00:36:54,510 started this organization in 1994 called 734 00:36:58,460 --> 00:36:56,220 opus the organization for paranormal 735 00:37:00,890 --> 00:36:58,470 understanding and support and the 736 00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:00,900 support part is really the major thing 737 00:37:04,849 --> 00:37:03,119 that we're doing these days because we 738 00:37:06,650 --> 00:37:04,859 have an online support group that's 739 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:06,660 totally confidential we have over a 740 00:37:12,109 --> 00:37:09,450 hundred people in it from around the 741 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:12,119 world that are talking to those to each 742 00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:14,880 other 24/7 and talking about their 743 00:37:20,750 --> 00:37:17,070 and I get two or three calls a week 744 00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:20,760 adding people to that group and it's 745 00:37:26,180 --> 00:37:23,460 it's one of the things that's so 746 00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:26,190 important when people are having these 747 00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:28,080 types of experiences to be able to talk 748 00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:31,860 to someone that will listen to them can 749 00:37:37,340 --> 00:37:33,720 understand what they're going through 750 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:37,350 and so this has proved to be a very very 751 00:37:43,790 --> 00:37:40,770 positive thing and so I was really happy 752 00:37:46,730 --> 00:37:43,800 to get that started with a doctor friend 753 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:46,740 of mine back in 1994 and we're 754 00:37:51,980 --> 00:37:50,370 officially I will 1/3 C nonprofit 755 00:37:56,570 --> 00:37:51,990 organization so that even the IRS 756 00:37:58,070 --> 00:37:56,580 recognizes us all right now I want you 757 00:37:59,840 --> 00:37:58,080 to backtrack a little bit I want to know 758 00:38:01,250 --> 00:37:59,850 more about the experience that you said 759 00:38:02,390 --> 00:38:01,260 the JED when you were a kid that scared 760 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:02,400 the hell out of you can you talk about 761 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:08,010 that oh sure it's pretty mundane I'll 762 00:38:15,020 --> 00:38:11,490 tell you another story about some people 763 00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:15,030 in the group but I was it was late 764 00:38:26,030 --> 00:38:19,740 October and I was out coming in from 765 00:38:27,890 --> 00:38:26,040 feeding my my dog Cesar and yeah I was 766 00:38:29,570 --> 00:38:27,900 you know you're way back but you won't 767 00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:29,580 believe this you're talking about your 768 00:38:35,740 --> 00:38:31,740 dog Cesar I am on the Caesars Atlantic 769 00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:35,750 City website right at this moment moment 770 00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:39,870 now that's a synchronicity maybe maybe 771 00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:43,020 we'll win $100,000 I hope so yeah well 772 00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:44,790 you know we tried that before that was 773 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:46,470 tied in with Dan Aykroyd and I want to 774 00:38:50,750 --> 00:38:48,330 go in there but it was it didn't work 775 00:38:52,490 --> 00:38:50,760 but I'm out in the Caesars Atlantic City 776 00:38:58,370 --> 00:38:52,500 you have a great calendar right now 777 00:39:02,300 --> 00:38:58,380 anyway continue sorry too I just so I 778 00:39:04,370 --> 00:39:02,310 looked off to the to my right and where 779 00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:04,380 we lived it was it was fairly wooded and 780 00:39:12,290 --> 00:39:08,250 so there was this object it was totally 781 00:39:15,170 --> 00:39:12,300 silent it was this oval whitish best I 782 00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:15,180 could describe it thing just kind of 783 00:39:21,140 --> 00:39:18,900 floating and going by and so I ran in 784 00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:21,150 the house and I tried to get my father 785 00:39:24,890 --> 00:39:23,190 to come out finally I convinced him to 786 00:39:27,310 --> 00:39:24,900 come on out and by the time he came out 787 00:39:31,450 --> 00:39:27,320 there it was gone 788 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:31,460 and you know I've seen searchlights you 789 00:39:34,210 --> 00:39:33,050 know reflecting off clouds and things 790 00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:34,220 like that that was the first thing my 791 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:35,750 father said to me he says well you know 792 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:37,730 this is this is probably just a beacon 793 00:39:42,820 --> 00:39:39,410 of light somewhere reflecting off the 794 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:42,830 cloud I said that didn't really look 795 00:39:45,940 --> 00:39:43,490 like that 796 00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:45,950 and so that's what drove me to the 797 00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:48,820 library and started reading about all 798 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:52,310 George's books and Adamski's books and 799 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:54,890 it was fascinating but I'll tell you 800 00:40:01,900 --> 00:39:55,490 this once 801 00:40:05,380 --> 00:40:01,910 one story this couple came to the 802 00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:05,390 support group meeting and first thing 803 00:40:11,290 --> 00:40:07,280 they did they they they had a picture of 804 00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:11,300 a rash that they had and they wanted to 805 00:40:17,650 --> 00:40:13,730 know if anybody else in the group had a 806 00:40:19,420 --> 00:40:17,660 similar rash and so they showed the 807 00:40:23,830 --> 00:40:19,430 picture around the group and almost 808 00:40:27,430 --> 00:40:23,840 without exception they all had similar 809 00:40:28,750 --> 00:40:27,440 rash at one time and one of the people 810 00:40:31,510 --> 00:40:28,760 in the group says well I know what 811 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:31,520 that's from and so we said oh really 812 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:34,490 okay what is it says that's the fluid 813 00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:35,930 that they dip you in when they bring you 814 00:40:43,930 --> 00:40:40,040 on board the craft to sanitize you and 815 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:43,940 some people have reactions so that was a 816 00:40:51,850 --> 00:40:45,850 mind-blower right there 817 00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:51,860 but there's just so many stories that go 818 00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:55,100 along with each of these cases that you 819 00:41:00,610 --> 00:40:57,110 know and in a way they're there they're 820 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:00,620 all very similar in a broad sense you 821 00:41:07,330 --> 00:41:04,610 know that they in abducted they're 822 00:41:09,610 --> 00:41:07,340 brought aboard the craft they things 823 00:41:13,230 --> 00:41:09,620 happen to them and then they're brought 824 00:41:14,890 --> 00:41:13,240 back that's it you know very short 825 00:41:18,340 --> 00:41:14,900 scenario 826 00:41:22,050 --> 00:41:18,350 sometimes they're shown various you know 827 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:22,060 things on a on screen you know showing 828 00:41:26,140 --> 00:41:24,290 destruction and you know all kinds of 829 00:41:28,510 --> 00:41:26,150 negative things that we don't get our 830 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:28,520 act together and that's one thing that 831 00:41:33,490 --> 00:41:30,530 that that happens with these people that 832 00:41:36,310 --> 00:41:33,500 are abducted by the end of this process 833 00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:36,320 and is it's a spiritual process by the 834 00:41:41,290 --> 00:41:38,900 way it's not a religious thing it's a 835 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:41,300 spiritual thing where people 836 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:43,490 about the other end of these experiences 837 00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:44,810 and say hey we got to be good to our 838 00:41:50,350 --> 00:41:47,150 fellow man we have to take care of the 839 00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:50,360 earth you know this the water this the 840 00:41:56,980 --> 00:41:54,110 air the animals the trees you name it 841 00:41:58,570 --> 00:41:56,990 and it's it's it's absolutely 842 00:42:00,190 --> 00:41:58,580 fascinating to see them go through this 843 00:42:02,890 --> 00:42:00,200 process where in the beginning they're 844 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:02,900 absolutely terrified then they come to a 845 00:42:08,530 --> 00:42:05,450 point where they finally come to accept 846 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:08,540 it and then at the end if it stops it's 847 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:09,890 sort of like the Stockholm Syndrome 848 00:42:14,110 --> 00:42:12,170 where all of a sudden eight it's not 849 00:42:17,140 --> 00:42:14,120 happening I mean where are you welcome 850 00:42:22,330 --> 00:42:17,150 you're not you know coming to see me so 851 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:22,340 it's a fascinating phenomenon and the 852 00:42:32,170 --> 00:42:27,290 things that occur you know being able to 853 00:42:34,630 --> 00:42:32,180 go through walls for instance which you 854 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:34,640 know talk about poltergeist activity I 855 00:42:40,420 --> 00:42:38,690 mean that's then right up that alley so 856 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:40,430 there's a lot of similarities yes 857 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:42,530 absolutely you know Shannon's doing her 858 00:42:49,150 --> 00:42:46,090 thing there and that's that's absolutely 859 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:49,160 an important part of this whole 860 00:42:54,460 --> 00:42:52,010 phenomena I think that we were trying to 861 00:42:56,350 --> 00:42:54,470 get our arms around well and with the 862 00:42:59,110 --> 00:42:56,360 with the abduction phenomenon it's a 863 00:43:01,840 --> 00:42:59,120 generational phenomena as well I mean 864 00:43:06,430 --> 00:43:01,850 very rarely do you have somebody who 865 00:43:07,990 --> 00:43:06,440 came to have been abducted that you go 866 00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:08,000 and you know like do a little research 867 00:43:14,230 --> 00:43:10,960 and find that yeah well maybe you know 868 00:43:16,690 --> 00:43:14,240 mom or dad or even as far back as got 869 00:43:18,580 --> 00:43:16,700 parents or grandparents or 870 00:43:22,330 --> 00:43:18,590 great-grandparents as well absolutely 871 00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:22,340 and and not only that there's there 872 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:24,980 certain groups that also the Native 873 00:43:34,450 --> 00:43:30,890 Americans who have a real strong seem to 874 00:43:39,490 --> 00:43:34,460 be picked out to to be followed military 875 00:43:43,870 --> 00:43:39,500 people with military backgrounds so yeah 876 00:43:45,550 --> 00:43:43,880 very generational you have mothers and 877 00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:45,560 all of a sudden you know like a daughter 878 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:47,300 will come to the to the mother and say 879 00:43:50,980 --> 00:43:48,890 you know I'm having these experiences 880 00:43:53,190 --> 00:43:50,990 and and the mother kind of blows it off 881 00:43:54,940 --> 00:43:53,200 but then later on in life she finally 882 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:54,950 confesses and saying well 883 00:44:01,210 --> 00:43:56,570 you know what I've had those same things 884 00:44:05,859 --> 00:44:01,220 and so what is that you know what what 885 00:44:09,730 --> 00:44:05,869 is what is happening and so I believe 886 00:44:12,460 --> 00:44:09,740 that this is not any type of mental 887 00:44:14,410 --> 00:44:12,470 state that we as certainly we don't 888 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:14,420 understand it's not a psychopathology 889 00:44:21,130 --> 00:44:18,050 that's going on it's it's it's it's real 890 00:44:25,810 --> 00:44:21,140 dr. John Mack you know is delved into 891 00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:25,820 that and done a fantastic job and almost 892 00:44:30,730 --> 00:44:27,910 lost his job at Harvard over that 893 00:44:35,829 --> 00:44:30,740 unfortunately he got run over in the UK 894 00:44:38,859 --> 00:44:35,839 which is kind of mysterious but and then 895 00:44:43,180 --> 00:44:38,869 like the kids the kids in South Africa 896 00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:43,190 that I mean the whole school saw this 897 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:45,680 this thing come down and they'll you 898 00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:50,450 know entities come out and you know so 899 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:52,310 what is this is it an is it 900 00:44:56,020 --> 00:44:54,410 extraterrestrial is an interdimensional 901 00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:56,030 like I said before or is it all the 902 00:44:59,890 --> 00:44:58,880 above well one of the you know one of 903 00:45:02,200 --> 00:44:59,900 the things that I've always found 904 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:02,210 fascinating by this and you know I've 905 00:45:06,250 --> 00:45:04,130 been I've been around long enough and 906 00:45:11,530 --> 00:45:06,260 have have researched this long enough to 907 00:45:13,660 --> 00:45:11,540 you know have seen scénic different 908 00:45:16,990 --> 00:45:13,670 things come and go you know you had like 909 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:17,000 back in the early 1950s you know into 910 00:45:21,790 --> 00:45:18,770 the 60s and even the 70s you had the 911 00:45:25,150 --> 00:45:21,800 whole contactee movement and that has 912 00:45:27,940 --> 00:45:25,160 kind of you know pretty much disappeared 913 00:45:31,630 --> 00:45:27,950 or at least the the public part of it 914 00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:31,640 has only to be replaced by you know the 915 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:34,510 so-called you know abduction or 916 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:36,770 experience or phenomena and I and I 917 00:45:39,940 --> 00:45:37,970 realized that you know this is a 918 00:45:41,589 --> 00:45:39,950 speculation on your part but I mean you 919 00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:41,599 know what's the difference I mean you 920 00:45:47,589 --> 00:45:46,400 know why why is this happened yeah 921 00:45:51,099 --> 00:45:47,599 that's a good question 922 00:45:53,710 --> 00:45:51,109 um you know I think from a technological 923 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:53,720 standpoint you know we progressed in the 924 00:46:00,390 --> 00:45:56,480 last sixty years so far you know from 925 00:46:02,470 --> 00:46:00,400 remember okay I'm I'm an older guy 926 00:46:04,150 --> 00:46:02,480 looking at a little tiny you know 927 00:46:06,950 --> 00:46:04,160 circular TV screen you know 928 00:46:11,150 --> 00:46:08,810 and you know look at where we are today 929 00:46:14,270 --> 00:46:11,160 you know it's like a Star Trek or Star 930 00:46:16,340 --> 00:46:14,280 Wars you know with the technology we 931 00:46:21,140 --> 00:46:16,350 have so I think that's that's kind of 932 00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:21,150 what happens that our perspective on a 933 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:26,070 situation is is is molded by what we're 934 00:46:32,060 --> 00:46:29,280 dealing with at the time and I think you 935 00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:32,070 know we've progressed way past you know 936 00:46:38,270 --> 00:46:35,040 the giant rock meetups and things like 937 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:38,280 that although we're having more UFO 938 00:46:42,110 --> 00:46:39,930 conventions than you can shake a stick 939 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:42,120 at these days you know I mean they're 940 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:47,010 all over the place you know and so it so 941 00:46:55,580 --> 00:46:51,450 that's that's take you to know I'm in 942 00:46:58,670 --> 00:46:55,590 Texas down you know I'm originally from 943 00:47:00,410 --> 00:46:58,680 Connecticut and I got a Shannon I gotta 944 00:47:03,830 --> 00:47:00,420 tell you I got married in Laroy in New 945 00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:03,840 York you know where that is mm-hmm and 946 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:06,920 so I know the East Coast very well and 947 00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:10,050 yeah I lived there for many years and 948 00:47:16,490 --> 00:47:13,760 then moved out to California in 85 and 949 00:47:19,850 --> 00:47:16,500 got it got into business out there and 950 00:47:22,130 --> 00:47:19,860 then just recently retired and so now I 951 00:47:28,070 --> 00:47:22,140 decided that it's too damn expensive in 952 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:28,080 San Jose and I moved to Texas now do you 953 00:47:31,220 --> 00:47:30,690 it is you've lived in several different 954 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:31,230 places 955 00:47:38,030 --> 00:47:34,410 do you notice an attitude differential 956 00:47:40,490 --> 00:47:38,040 when you move from place to place yes 957 00:47:45,380 --> 00:47:40,500 there's no question about it 958 00:47:49,970 --> 00:47:45,390 the California is much more open to all 959 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:49,980 of this Connecticut you know at the time 960 00:47:58,190 --> 00:47:52,970 I probably couldn't give you a very good 961 00:48:00,100 --> 00:47:58,200 feel on that because I was a lot younger 962 00:48:02,690 --> 00:48:00,110 and wasn't paying much attention to that 963 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:02,700 John white used to have his conventions 964 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:04,410 there that was the one ah 965 00:48:08,240 -->

00:49:46,980 --> 00:49:44,319 of mediums and seances and things like 992 00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:46,990 that i mean how long now have you been 993 00:49:51,780 --> 00:49:48,910 working on this project leading up to 994 00:49:56,430 --> 00:49:51,790 this book I actually began the project 995 00:49:59,880 --> 00:49:56,440 in 2001 so it's 17 years in the making 996 00:50:04,230 --> 00:49:59,890 and it just it took me that long because 997 00:50:06,690 --> 00:50:04,240 I it's such a complicated topic and 998 00:50:08,730 --> 00:50:06,700 there's a lot of fascinating history 999 00:50:12,569 --> 00:50:08,740 behind it and there's a lot of ambiguity 1000 00:50:16,799 --> 00:50:12,579 and a lot of ways to look at at things 1001 00:50:18,750 --> 00:50:16,809 so yeah 17 years so now where was the 1002 00:50:20,670 --> 00:50:18,760 what was the first place that that you 1003 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:20,680 visited or perhaps I should say who was 1004 00:50:28,260 --> 00:50:24,490 the the first medium that you took shots 1005 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:28,270 of so the first place I began the 1006 00:50:35,579 --> 00:50:33,130 project at Lille down New York so clear 1007 00:50:38,370 --> 00:50:35,589 it's a the world's largest spiritualist 1008 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:38,380 community and the 1009 00:50:42,620 --> 00:50:39,850 first medium who let me allowed me to 1010 00:50:46,140 --> 00:50:42,630 photograph her was a woman named 1011 00:50:50,190 --> 00:50:46,150 Gretchen Clark and I was sitting in on 1012 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:50,200 her one of her readings and she was you 1013 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:53,050 know she was giving messages to clients 1014 00:51:00,480 --> 00:50:57,010 you know speaking to to their you know 1015 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:00,490 people their their relatives and all of 1016 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:01,930 a sudden she turned to me and she said 1017 00:51:07,890 --> 00:51:05,770 Shin and Margaret's here and I I thought 1018 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:07,900 I don't know if I know a Margaret and 1019 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:10,330 she says she says Texas what does Texas 1020 00:51:22,110 --> 00:51:18,010 mean and the same because sorry because 1021 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:22,120 I did have a great aunt named Margaret 1022 00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:29,820 what did ya we a you're coming in and 1023 00:51:35,700 --> 00:51:31,390 out just a little bit so go ahead can 1024 00:51:38,550 --> 00:51:35,710 did you and that was my first I guess my 1025 00:51:40,410 --> 00:51:38,560 first moment of oh oh my gosh 1026 00:51:42,690 --> 00:51:40,420 something's happening here you know I 1027 00:51:44,580 --> 00:51:42,700 had even forgot that I had this at 1028 00:51:47,610 --> 00:51:44,590 Margaret and you know she was from Texas 1029 00:51:49,710 --> 00:51:47,620 and she had recently passed so that yeah 1030 00:51:51,420 --> 00:51:49,720 you know um and when I first began the 1031 00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:51,430 project I couldn't really understand how 1032 00:51:55,350 --> 00:51:52,960 you could be a sane person and speak 1033 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:55,360 with dead people but I was so curious 1034 00:51:59,970 --> 00:51:57,610 and I I did believe that there was 1035 00:52:01,650 --> 00:51:59,980 something genuine happening I just 1036 00:52:03,570 --> 00:52:01,660 didn't know how to look at it or I 1037 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:03,580 didn't really understand it I was very 1038 00:52:08,220 --> 00:52:06,850 green I had never before I began this 1039 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:08,230 project I had never had a reading before 1040 00:52:12,510 --> 00:52:10,330 you know I just had the experience of my 1041 00:52:18,060 --> 00:52:12,520 cousin that I was you know that drew me 1042 00:52:20,850 --> 00:52:18,070 there know what was the what was the 1043 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:20,860 reaction of these people when you first 1044 00:52:24,270 --> 00:52:22,570 approached them and you know said hey 1045 00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:24,280 you know I want to you know take your 1046 00:52:29,340 --> 00:52:26,800 pictures I mean did they welcomed you 1047 00:52:33,690 --> 00:52:29,350 with open arms or we met with some 1048 00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:33,700 suspicions you know actually the people 1049 00:52:39,660 --> 00:52:36,430 of lily Dell were incredibly gracious 1050 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:39,670 and generous with their time and they 1051 00:52:43,830 --> 00:52:42,010 taught me they basically sat me down and 1052 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:43,840 taught me everything I know about 1053 00:52:49,110 --> 00:52:47,530 spiritualism and they were patient with 1054 00:52:51,060 --> 00:52:49,120 me I would just go and literally knock 1055 00:52:51,870 --> 00:52:51,070 on doors and ask people to tell me about 1056 00:52:55,620 --> 00:52:51,880 their beliefs 1057 00:52:58,140 --> 00:52:55,630 their experiences and they did so it was 1058 00:53:00,569 --> 00:52:58,150 it was a really wonderful experience and 1059 00:53:02,309 --> 00:53:00,579 I just loved the people of Lilydale and 1060 00:53:05,309 --> 00:53:02,319 will forever be in my hearts for how 1061 00:53:07,049 --> 00:53:05,319 they welcomed me and but one of the most 1062 00:53:10,589 --> 00:53:07,059 fascinating things that I was taught 1063 00:53:13,109 --> 00:53:10,599 early on was this whole history of 1064 00:53:14,970 --> 00:53:13,119 spirit photography yeah I had studied 1065 00:53:17,549 --> 00:53:14,980 photography at the Rochester Institute 1066 00:53:20,970 --> 00:53:17,559 of Technology and we went over the 1067 00:53:22,890 --> 00:53:20,980 history extensively and it this this 1068 00:53:24,690 --> 00:53:22,900 history is not written in and into any 1069 00:53:27,329 --> 00:53:24,700 of the official history books that I 1070 00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:27,339 learned from you know but there is this 1071 00:53:34,099 --> 00:53:31,089 very fascinating bizarre photographic 1072 00:53:38,039 --> 00:53:34,109 record of people trying to photograph 1073 00:53:39,660 --> 00:53:38,049 spirits invisible realms and you know it 1074 00:53:41,490 --> 00:53:39,670 since the beginning of photography 1075 00:53:44,490 --> 00:53:41,500 people were using photography in this 1076 00:53:47,849 --> 00:53:44,500 way it's just kind of I guess photo 1077 00:53:50,339 --> 00:53:47,859 historian some materialists believe that 1078 00:53:52,289 --> 00:53:50,349 it's an embarrassing moment so it's it's 1079 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:52,299 not included but I think it's an 1080 00:53:57,660 --> 00:53:54,490 important moment in the history of 1081 00:53:59,430 --> 00:53:57,670 photography you know it's it's 1082 00:54:04,200 --> 00:53:59,440 interesting that you would bring that up 1083 00:54:06,930 --> 00:54:04,210 because you've seen or you know you go 1084 00:54:10,589 --> 00:54:06,940 online and in fact I've been to actually 1085 00:54:12,599 --> 00:54:10,599 some shows that have dealt with the 1086 00:54:16,799 --> 00:54:12,609 early days of photography and it seems 1087 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:16,809 like that one of the first subjects that 1088 00:54:21,749 --> 00:54:19,210 photographers took on when they learned 1089 00:54:24,089 --> 00:54:21,759 how to start taking pictures was a 1090 00:54:27,089 --> 00:54:24,099 spirit photography now there's been a 1091 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:27,099 lot of accusations that most of these 1092 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:29,410 and and you know it's it's probably true 1093 00:54:34,109 --> 00:54:31,450 you know that most of these photographs 1094 00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:34,119 were were faked you know double 1095 00:54:41,099 --> 00:54:36,250 exposures and that that sort of thing 1096 00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:41,109 but then there are others that they 1097 00:54:47,099 --> 00:54:43,359 they're they go outside of the mold so 1098 00:54:48,690 --> 00:54:47,109 to speak they don't look like what you 1099 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:48,700 would think of a double exposure or 1100 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:50,650 things like that they look different 1101 00:55:01,529 --> 00:54:55,650 somehow yeah it's a very complicated 1102 00:55:03,380 --> 00:55:01,539 bizarre deeply I always say that that 1103 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:03,390 this moment it within the history of 1104 00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:05,690 spirit photography was when 1105 00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:09,250 most absurd and dramatic and oddly 1106 00:55:16,780 --> 00:55:14,720 compelling moments in in photographic 1107 00:55:17,890 --> 00:55:16,790 history because the the photos some of 1108 00:55:19,900 --> 00:55:17,900 them are you know especially the 1109 00:55:22,690 --> 00:55:19,910 ectoplasmic photos of the mediums 1110 00:55:24,940 --> 00:55:22,700 half-naked stretched out with the stuff 1111 00:55:28,510 --> 00:55:24,950 oozing from their their bodies I mean 1112 00:55:32,620 --> 00:55:28,520 it's very dramatic and and weird and 1113 00:55:35,050 --> 00:55:32,630 there's this absurd these absurd visuals 1114 00:55:37,540 --> 00:55:35,060 that they look fake but when you read 1115 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:37,550 the reports of the mediums it's totally 1116 00:55:42,220 --> 00:55:39,890 in contrast to that the fakeness of the 1117 00:55:44,260 --> 00:55:42,230 image when you read you know people like 1118 00:55:45,940 --> 00:55:44,270 Charles Roche of what his experience of 1119 00:55:48,850 --> 00:55:45,950 ectoplasm was and he was a Nobel 1120 00:55:51,190 --> 00:55:48,860 laureate in medicine and you know his 1121 00:55:54,250 --> 00:55:51,200 descriptions of ectoplasm are completely 1122 00:55:59,050 --> 00:55:54,260 fascinating and run against the 1123 00:56:01,570 --> 00:55:59,060 absurdity of the images there are a lot 1124 00:56:04,050 --> 00:56:01,580 of people think that some of these 1125 00:56:06,580 --> 00:56:04,060 photographs are showing the the 1126 00:56:09,340 --> 00:56:06,590 appearances of ectoplasm all took place 1127 00:56:12,190 --> 00:56:09,350 you know in dark rooms under red lights 1128 00:56:15,310 --> 00:56:12,200 or it'll just conditions that you 1129 00:56:21,370 --> 00:56:15,320 couldn't see very easily however there 1130 00:56:23,860 --> 00:56:21,380 were a number that were very the records 1131 00:56:25,780 --> 00:56:23,870 were very detailed that took place in in 1132 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:25,790 bright lights I mean it's it wasn't all 1133 00:56:33,310 --> 00:56:28,970 just under dark or in you know curtain'd 1134 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:33,320 cabinets or things like that yeah I mean 1135 00:56:38,650 --> 00:56:35,810 when you go back and read the reports 1136 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:38,660 it's it's really fascinating but I also 1137 00:56:43,090 --> 00:56:40,490 think there's another way that you could 1138 00:56:45,580 --> 00:56:43,100 look at it if you think that you know 1139 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:45,590 all the images are fake it is 1140 00:56:49,510 --> 00:56:47,810 interesting to consider that well is 1141 00:56:51,490 --> 00:56:49,520 this then the first religious 1142 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:51,500 iconography to be created with 1143 00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:53,690 photography is that what we're dealing 1144 00:56:57,010 --> 00:56:55,730 with you know at the time when they were 1145 00:57:00,310 --> 00:56:57,020 making the pictures they were trying to 1146 00:57:03,310 --> 00:57:00,320 create scientific proof of spirits so 1147 00:57:05,650 --> 00:57:03,320 it's it kind of crosses this line into 1148 00:57:07,870 --> 00:57:05,660 religion and spiritualism always it 1149 00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:07,880 always wanted to merge religion and 1150 00:57:12,630 --> 00:57:10,310 science and kind of finally answer all 1151 00:57:17,260 --> 00:57:12,640 the questions and scientifically prove 1152 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:17,270 the spiritual realm and you know I I 1153 00:57:19,450 --> 00:57:18,650 don't know I think there's too much 1154 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:19,460 ambiguity 1155 00:57:25,780 --> 00:57:21,530 there now some of your own foot 1156 00:57:27,610 --> 00:57:25,790 photographs that I've seen are extremely 1157 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:27,620 interesting and the one I'm thinking 1158 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:28,970 about in particular you know talking 1159 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:31,250 about ectoplasm is and I and I can't 1160 00:57:36,490 --> 00:57:32,690 think of the gentleman's name but the 1161 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:36,500 the gentleman who his hand looked like 1162 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:40,850 that it was enlarged or wrapped almost 1163 00:57:45,610 --> 00:57:43,850 in some kind of of substance you know 1164 00:57:49,300 --> 00:57:45,620 tell us a little bit about those 1165 00:57:51,010 --> 00:57:49,310 photographs yes so that is a medium a 1166 00:57:54,030 --> 00:57:51,020 physical medium in England named Gordon 1167 00:57:58,720 --> 00:57:54,040 Garr fourth and he says you know he 1168 00:58:00,960 --> 00:57:58,730 ectoplasm can manipulate his body so he 1169 00:58:03,220 --> 00:58:00,970 said to me when you come to my sense 1170 00:58:05,590 --> 00:58:03,230 ectoplasm you can it changes the the 1171 00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:05,600 shape of my face and it enlarges my 1172 00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:08,480 hands and I thought okay well I'm 1173 00:58:11,830 --> 00:58:09,890 probably not going to see this in the 1174 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:11,840 sands because sometimes you run a run 1175 00:58:15,250 --> 00:58:13,850 across these situations where people 1176 00:58:17,910 --> 00:58:15,260 tell you're going to see something and 1177 00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:17,920 you don't and it's a very subjective 1178 00:58:22,510 --> 00:58:20,960 experience so I did but I went into the 1179 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:22,520 sands with an open mind i sat in the 1180 00:58:28,110 --> 00:58:24,650 front row I was about six feet away from 1181 00:58:32,380 --> 00:58:28,120 him he was wearing a short t-shirt and 1182 00:58:35,950 --> 00:58:32,390 his wife was his you know his the kind 1183 00:58:37,990 --> 00:58:35,960 of leading the the ceremony and there 1184 00:58:39,610 --> 00:58:38,000 the seance and and she's about 20 1185 00:58:41,490 --> 00:58:39,620 minutes and she says okay the spirits 1186 00:58:45,070 --> 00:58:41,500 are now going to work with Gordon's 1187 00:58:48,940 --> 00:58:45,080 hands and changed their shape and so he 1188 00:58:51,370 --> 00:58:48,950 put out his hand and it's the most 1189 00:58:53,230 --> 00:58:51,380 magical thing I ever saw it just looked 1190 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:53,240 like effortlessly skipped into this 1191 00:58:58,780 --> 00:58:57,050 gigantic form and I screamed which is 1192 00:59:01,480 --> 00:58:58,790 like a very impolite thing to do in a 1193 00:59:03,130 --> 00:59:01,490 seance and and then everybody else 1194 00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:03,140 started screaming too and I couldn't 1195 00:59:11,770 --> 00:59:04,910 tell are they screaming because I'm 1196 00:59:14,110 --> 00:59:11,780 screaming or they scratch and and so I 1197 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:14,120 did it this hand was gigantic that I saw 1198 00:59:16,870 --> 00:59:15,650 and I was convinced because you know 1199 00:59:18,730 --> 00:59:16,880 when you're under the red light in the 1200 00:59:20,650 --> 00:59:18,740 dark rooms you know your eyes play 1201 00:59:22,870 --> 00:59:20,660 tricks on you and I thought okay I think 1202 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:22,880 hypnotically rendered this large hand 1203 00:59:28,210 --> 00:59:24,890 and when I'm going to see my pictures 1204 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:28,220 it's going to be a small hand but no on 1205 00:59:32,380 --> 00:59:30,770 my camera wears these gigantic hands and 1206 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:32,390 they looked different than they looked 1207 00:59:35,170 --> 00:59:33,290 with my eye 1208 00:59:37,330 --> 00:59:35,180 and people will say to me oh that's a 1209 00:59:39,820 --> 00:59:37,340 mask or that's a glove or it's a 1210 00:59:42,850 --> 00:59:39,830 prosthetic and I'm telling you it was 1211 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:42,860 not I mean if it was a magic trick it 1212 00:59:48,340 --> 00:59:46,250 was a very the most elegant gorgeous 1213 00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:48,350 magic trick I've ever seen in my entire 1214 00:59:53,350 --> 00:59:51,110 life and but I love that the image has 1215 00:59:56,350 --> 00:59:53,360 it ambiguity about like it's really 1216 00:59:59,080 --> 00:59:56,360 unclear what is going on now has there 1217 01:00:01,720 --> 00:59:59,090 ever been a case of where the lights 1218 01:00:07,330 --> 01:00:01,730 have come up and the ectoplasm is still 1219 01:00:09,580 --> 01:00:07,340 present no I mean not that I've seen I 1220 01:00:11,590 --> 01:00:09,590 mean there have been like the famous 1221 01:00:15,070 --> 01:00:11,600 story for example of the medium Helen 1222 01:00:16,930 --> 01:00:15,080 Duncan who the cops ran into her seance 1223 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:16,940 when she was doing ectoplasm and they 1224 01:00:20,710 --> 01:00:19,010 turned on the lights and and she's kind 1225 01:00:23,950 --> 01:00:20,720 of like a spiritualist martyr because 1226 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:23,960 she died six days later and that's what 1227 01:00:29,860 --> 01:00:26,090 in the in the UK that was accused of 1228 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:29,870 witchcraft yes the last person to be in 1229 01:00:34,060 --> 01:00:31,850 fact we're going to heaven we have one 1230 01:00:36,850 --> 01:00:34,070 of our favorite guests there's been the 1231 01:00:41,710 --> 01:00:36,860 porter he works in the hospital 1232 01:00:44,590 --> 01:00:41,720 supporter and he has a great interest in 1233 01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:44,600 the paranormal and 14 things and he's 1234 01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:46,310 written and done a lot of research on 1235 01:00:52,810 --> 01:00:49,760 her so we've promised them to come on 1236 01:00:54,580 --> 01:00:52,820 the air and in a month or so to talk 1237 01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:54,590 about that case because it's always 1238 01:00:58,870 --> 01:00:56,690 fascinated me and he's like the the main 1239 01:01:00,700 --> 01:00:58,880 you know honcho over there or are you 1240 01:01:01,870 --> 01:01:00,710 affiliated with the psychic news it 1241 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:01,880 seems to me that I might have read 1242 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:04,490 something about you in there um I'm not 1243 01:01:09,580 --> 01:01:07,610 affiliated but I've I've been in I've 1244 01:01:12,190 --> 01:01:09,590 had work published in it several times 1245 01:01:16,810 --> 01:01:12,200 yeah I I tried to get the the publisher 1246 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:16,820 on the show and he promised me for later 1247 01:01:19,750 --> 01:01:18,290 in the year but he said he couldn't do 1248 01:01:23,140 --> 01:01:19,760 it at the moment they they have been 1249 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:23,150 running that magazine for what seventy 1250 01:01:29,410 --> 01:01:25,130 or eighty eight years it started out as 1251 01:01:31,810 --> 01:01:29,420 a is a tabloid newspaper in fact I 1252 01:01:33,610 --> 01:01:31,820 remember when I am back in the 60s you 1253 01:01:36,370 --> 01:01:33,620 know getting a couple of copies and 1254 01:01:40,210 --> 01:01:36,380 advertising in there and and now it's a 1255 01:01:41,980 --> 01:01:40,220 really high gloss publication that carry 1256 01:01:44,020 --> 01:01:41,990 that carries articles and I was 1257 01:01:46,740 --> 01:01:44,030 surprised more than just on spiritualism 1258 01:01:48,970 --> 01:01:46,750 in fact they had an article on 1259 01:01:52,450 --> 01:01:48,980 cryptozoology in the in the last issue 1260 01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:52,460 and UFOs on the the cover so just like 1261 01:02:01,510 --> 01:01:57,170 the the ufology has progressed into the 1262 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:01,520 spiritual areas the spiritualists that 1263 01:02:07,690 --> 01:02:05,330 people have motivated more in indeed 1264 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:07,700 towards some of this other 14 of 1265 01:02:11,590 --> 01:02:09,650 phenomena of course they've been they've 1266 01:02:14,110 --> 01:02:11,600 been writing I remember in the 1950s 1267 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:14,120 even reading you know articles that the 1268 01:02:17,710 --> 01:02:15,410 spiritualist groups were writing about 1269 01:02:19,810 --> 01:02:17,720 UFOs and things like then had their own 1270 01:02:24,060 --> 01:02:19,820 interpretation or are you familiar at 1271 01:02:26,470 --> 01:02:24,070 all with the work of Mark Macy yes yes 1272 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:26,480 what can you describe that and tell us 1273 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:30,890 what you think about that um so I forget 1274 01:02:37,780 --> 01:02:33,050 what he billed that he built a device 1275 01:02:40,930 --> 01:02:37,790 the spirit well he they take photographs 1276 01:02:45,580 --> 01:02:40,940 off the computer and a TV set okay yeah 1277 01:02:47,950 --> 01:02:45,590 well the larger movie yeah ventral 1278 01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:47,960 transcommunication so that would be when 1279 01:02:55,500 --> 01:02:52,910 you use cameras video recorders to you 1280 01:02:58,230 --> 01:02:55,510 know create evidence and the skull group 1281 01:03:02,140 --> 01:02:58,240 really they're the ones who kind of 1282 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:02,150 really inspired the movement of ITC and 1283 01:03:07,860 --> 01:03:04,370 because they were creating video and 1284 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:07,870 photo and and all of these artifacts 1285 01:03:14,530 --> 01:03:11,690 so mark macy built a device I think it's 1286 01:03:18,070 --> 01:03:14,540 called an illuminator and I believe he 1287 01:03:20,110 --> 01:03:18,080 was using polaroid film and I've talked 1288 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:20,120 to several people who had their pictures 1289 01:03:23,950 --> 01:03:21,890 taken by him and said they said it was a 1290 01:03:25,930 --> 01:03:23,960 very bizarre experience and the images 1291 01:03:27,940 --> 01:03:25,940 you know they look like long exposures 1292 01:03:29,230 --> 01:03:27,950 are kind of blurry but it you can see 1293 01:03:31,420 --> 01:03:29,240 the person's face but it always looks 1294 01:03:33,610 --> 01:03:31,430 like there's another face kind of yes 1295 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:33,620 yes that is in the mirror I've tried to 1296 01:03:37,510 --> 01:03:35,090 get him on the other program for the 1297 01:03:42,970 --> 01:03:37,520 longest time I I have met him on several 1298 01:03:46,420 --> 01:03:42,980 occasions in fact we did a conference in 1299 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:46,430 New Age spiritual conference Oh a dozen 1300 01:03:52,150 --> 01:03:49,730 or more years ago and Colorado Springs 1301 01:03:54,340 --> 01:03:52,160 and he was one of the the speakers on 1302 01:03:56,890 --> 01:03:54,350 the program he lives out around there 1303 01:03:59,339 --> 01:03:56,900 and it's well they've also been 1304 01:04:03,849 --> 01:03:59,349 receiving you know messages on 1305 01:04:07,449 --> 01:04:03,859 answering machines mm-hmm of people who 1306 01:04:10,209 --> 01:04:07,459 have been you know deceased for you know 1307 01:04:12,219 --> 01:04:10,219 a number of days if not that longer in 1308 01:04:15,249 --> 01:04:12,229 fact I remember let's see there was an 1309 01:04:16,959 --> 01:04:15,259 actress by the name of gizelle Mackenzie 1310 01:04:20,199 --> 01:04:16,969 I believe her name was going back quite 1311 01:04:22,509 --> 01:04:20,209 a few years ago but when she was a 1312 01:04:24,339 --> 01:04:22,519 little girl she lived in a hotel or an 1313 01:04:26,169 --> 01:04:24,349 apartment building somewhere where they 1314 01:04:28,389 --> 01:04:26,179 still had a telephone switchboard 1315 01:04:30,069 --> 01:04:28,399 operator you know there was no direct 1316 01:04:33,489 --> 01:04:30,079 call she had to go through the 1317 01:04:35,979 --> 01:04:33,499 switchboard and one one night I guess 1318 01:04:37,839 --> 01:04:35,989 she was in maybe a you know eight or 1319 01:04:41,259 --> 01:04:37,849 nine or ten years old the phone rang 1320 01:04:43,479 --> 01:04:41,269 rather later night and it was the voice 1321 01:04:45,309 --> 01:04:43,489 of her grandmother I didn't have too 1322 01:04:48,669 --> 01:04:45,319 much to say but the to the efekta you 1323 01:04:50,169 --> 01:04:48,679 know like so long I'm gonna miss you and 1324 01:04:53,259 --> 01:04:50,179 so forth and so on and then the line 1325 01:04:55,539 --> 01:04:53,269 went dead well now she told her mother 1326 01:04:57,130 --> 01:04:55,549 about it and her mother had found that 1327 01:04:59,199 --> 01:04:57,140 or gotten a telegram that was way of 1328 01:05:00,929 --> 01:04:59,209 communicating in those days if somebody 1329 01:05:04,329 --> 01:05:00,939 had you know died in the family that 1330 01:05:06,099 --> 01:05:04,339 grandma had passed away around the same 1331 01:05:09,519 --> 01:05:06,109 time that's a telephone call came 1332 01:05:11,679 --> 01:05:09,529 through so they didn't know well maybe a 1333 01:05:13,389 --> 01:05:11,689 grandma knew she was gonna die maybe she 1334 01:05:15,219 --> 01:05:13,399 had been ill for a few days or something 1335 01:05:18,669 --> 01:05:15,229 like that and wanted to talk to her a 1336 01:05:23,289 --> 01:05:18,679 granddaughter so they contacted the the 1337 01:05:25,569 --> 01:05:23,299 front desk the the next day to to see 1338 01:05:28,239 --> 01:05:25,579 you know what time the phone call came 1339 01:05:30,399 --> 01:05:28,249 through and and and and so forth and the 1340 01:05:32,769 --> 01:05:30,409 operator and the switchboard insisted 1341 01:05:34,899 --> 01:05:32,779 that they had no not received any call 1342 01:05:36,489 --> 01:05:34,909 to that particular apartment there there 1343 01:05:39,099 --> 01:05:36,499 are a couple of well in fact I think 1344 01:05:40,509 --> 01:05:39,109 there's a whole book written I tend to 1345 01:05:42,339 --> 01:05:40,519 remember who the author is is a whole 1346 01:05:45,729 --> 01:05:42,349 book written on telephone communications 1347 01:05:48,069 --> 01:05:45,739 from phone calls phone calls by the from 1348 01:05:49,779 --> 01:05:48,079 the dad one of the authors was the late 1349 01:05:52,419 --> 01:05:49,789 D Scott Rogo 1350 01:05:54,489 --> 01:05:52,429 he's got Robbo that's an excellent book 1351 01:05:57,759 --> 01:05:54,499 and I I always was surprised that there 1352 01:06:01,449 --> 01:05:57,769 really was no follow up on that 1353 01:06:03,279 --> 01:06:01,459 well Rogo passed away unfortunately he 1354 01:06:05,620 --> 01:06:03,289 was murdered not too long after that 1355 01:06:09,870 --> 01:06:05,630 book came out that's what I remember yes 1356 01:06:13,090 --> 01:06:09,880 now what what would you say shannon is 1357 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:13,100 are there any new forms of communicate 1358 01:06:16,660 --> 01:06:14,570 that have come to your attention and we 1359 01:06:18,490 --> 01:06:16,670 talked about the messages coming over 1360 01:06:20,830 --> 01:06:18,500 the TV set and the computer and all is 1361 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:20,840 there anything else that you're aware of 1362 01:06:26,740 --> 01:06:23,330 where this is progressing I mean does it 1363 01:06:29,460 --> 01:06:26,750 seem like the ability to communicate 1364 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:29,470 from over there to over here is 1365 01:06:35,020 --> 01:06:33,050 improving or is it as a at a standstill 1366 01:06:38,380 --> 01:06:35,030 like it has seemed to be for over a 1367 01:06:40,990 --> 01:06:38,390 hundred years um no there is a lot of 1368 01:06:43,030 --> 01:06:41,000 interest in using technology as there 1369 01:06:45,610 --> 01:06:43,040 always has been with spiritualism but 1370 01:06:48,510 --> 01:06:45,620 you know there's all these new apps out 1371 01:06:55,270 --> 01:06:48,520 you know they have Ghost Box apps and 1372 01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:55,280 you know different you know there's 1373 01:07:00,910 --> 01:06:58,730 people who do CAPTCHA they you know the 1374 01:07:02,380 --> 01:07:00,920 CAPTCHA that like you get a phrase or 1375 01:07:04,210 --> 01:07:02,390 you know to prove that you're not a 1376 01:07:05,980 --> 01:07:04,220 robot you know when you're when you're 1377 01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:05,990 it's like a security measure when you're 1378 01:07:13,510 --> 01:07:11,510 on the web well I know people who've 1379 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:13,520 gotten messages through CAPTCHAs and 1380 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:17,210 they save them and there's also the you 1381 01:07:21,850 --> 01:07:19,130 know the orb photography movement which 1382 01:07:23,620 --> 01:07:21,860 I would say is the spirit photography of 1383 01:07:26,850 --> 01:07:23,630 today and there's a lot of serious 1384 01:07:30,550 --> 01:07:26,860 practitioners doing a lot of different 1385 01:07:32,890 --> 01:07:30,560 work with orbs and it's some of it's 1386 01:07:36,310 --> 01:07:32,900 pretty interesting well unless would 1387 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:36,320 know about that are you into orbs at all 1388 01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:37,850 I mean I know a lot of people think that 1389 01:07:43,750 --> 01:07:40,400 they're a dust on the lens and so forth 1390 01:07:48,250 --> 01:07:43,760 now I I have a very interesting story to 1391 01:07:54,150 --> 01:07:48,260 tell you guys I was in Sedona Arizona 1392 01:07:57,430 --> 01:07:54,160 and I met up with a lady there who 1393 01:08:01,620 --> 01:07:57,440 claimed to have a lot of pictures of 1394 01:08:07,780 --> 01:08:01,630 orbs and so I went out to her place and 1395 01:08:11,740 --> 01:08:07,790 it's overlooks a canyon and so she says 1396 01:08:15,250 --> 01:08:11,750 now I can tell you might not see it but 1397 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:15,260 I can tell when an orb is going to 1398 01:08:21,820 --> 01:08:17,810 appear and what I'll do is I'll just 1399 01:08:24,070 --> 01:08:21,830 start clicking my camera so I said okay 1400 01:08:25,870 --> 01:08:24,080 I want to see what's gonna go on so she 1401 01:08:27,069 --> 01:08:25,880 has a digital cameras which we can you 1402 01:08:31,959 --> 01:08:27,079 know download 1403 01:08:33,269 --> 01:08:31,969 see right away so she sits that yeah she 1404 01:08:36,220 --> 01:08:33,279 stands at the corner of her house 1405 01:08:39,309 --> 01:08:36,230 overlooking the canyon and then she says 1406 01:08:42,129 --> 01:08:39,319 okay I'm gonna start taking pictures and 1407 01:08:44,260 --> 01:08:42,139 she took a bunch of pictures and I was 1408 01:08:48,780 --> 01:08:44,270 in one of the pictures okay that she 1409 01:08:52,569 --> 01:08:48,790 took she started scanning across and 1410 01:08:54,370 --> 01:08:52,579 there was an orb over my head now this 1411 01:08:58,569 --> 01:08:54,380 was an interesting or because it had 1412 01:09:01,209 --> 01:08:58,579 like a little red cap on it and since 1413 01:09:03,729 --> 01:09:01,219 she was taking one picture right after 1414 01:09:06,819 --> 01:09:03,739 the next you could see that little red 1415 01:09:10,059 --> 01:09:06,829 cap move okay from one position to the 1416 01:09:12,849 --> 01:09:10,069 next position but more fascinating was 1417 01:09:17,499 --> 01:09:12,859 some of the shots that she took and she 1418 01:09:20,229 --> 01:09:17,509 would blow it up on her computer enlarge 1419 01:09:22,689 --> 01:09:20,239 the size and that's what really blew me 1420 01:09:27,519 --> 01:09:22,699 away because you know what greys look 1421 01:09:29,950 --> 01:09:27,529 like guys right well they were they were 1422 01:09:31,599 --> 01:09:29,960 in the they were in the orb and it's 1423 01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:31,609 like they were looking through a portal 1424 01:09:36,220 --> 01:09:34,489 and one was like looking straight ahead 1425 01:09:37,809 --> 01:09:36,230 another one behind was looking in 1426 01:09:40,180 --> 01:09:37,819 another direction and then there was a 1427 01:09:43,419 --> 01:09:40,190 third one that was still looking still 1428 01:09:47,049 --> 01:09:43,429 in another direction that was the most 1429 01:09:50,559 --> 01:09:47,059 fascinating night talking about orbs and 1430 01:09:56,530 --> 01:09:50,569 yeah it seems like orbs have become even 1431 01:09:59,049 --> 01:09:56,540 more you know prevalent then then your 1432 01:10:03,160 --> 01:09:59,059 standard you know flying saucer type of 1433 01:10:06,189 --> 01:10:03,170 a and and sedona is the place to go if 1434 01:10:08,290 --> 01:10:06,199 you want to have a UFO or some kind of 1435 01:10:11,649 --> 01:10:08,300 strange experience i I know I've had a 1436 01:10:13,660 --> 01:10:11,659 couple of really bizarre synchronicities 1437 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:13,670 that we that we've talked about on the 1438 01:10:20,229 --> 01:10:16,130 air here I mean it all centers around 1439 01:10:21,970 --> 01:10:20,239 the coffee pot which is the local place 1440 01:10:24,549 --> 01:10:21,980 to get your omelets and coffee and go to 1441 01:10:26,770 --> 01:10:24,559 brunch kind of all kinds of strange well 1442 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:26,780 it's important it's a vortex it's one of 1443 01:10:32,319 --> 01:10:29,570 the the vortex areas and right near the 1444 01:10:34,569 --> 01:10:32,329 the airport there and strange things 1445 01:10:37,540 --> 01:10:34,579 seem to happen in the parking lot I I 1446 01:10:38,740 --> 01:10:37,550 just you know it again it just boggles 1447 01:10:40,330 --> 01:10:38,750 the mind 1448 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:40,340 the 1449 01:10:48,940 --> 01:10:45,850 paranormal and and synchronicities but 1450 01:10:50,650 --> 01:10:48,950 certainly as Sedona there's a good 1451 01:10:54,610 --> 01:10:50,660 chance you might have some sort of a 1452 01:10:56,110 --> 01:10:54,620 weird experience there was a ranch let 1453 01:10:58,210 --> 01:10:56,120 me interrupt him we have to go to our 1454 01:11:03,490 --> 01:10:58,220 break here so we'll be right back it's 1455 01:11:05,530 --> 01:11:03,500 the French I guess I guess I guess maybe 1456 01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:05,540 we have a little bit longer than that 1457 01:11:14,440 --> 01:11:07,610 without it we did we now just hit the 1458 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:14,450 one minute mark we have a fellow there 1459 01:11:18,220 --> 01:11:16,850 who of course Bill Hamilton was a good 1460 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:18,230 friend of mine we published them and his 1461 01:11:23,650 --> 01:11:22,130 work and I've done interviews with other 1462 01:11:26,980 --> 01:11:23,660 people who live in town there who have 1463 01:11:29,500 --> 01:11:26,990 had a have a great many are just very 1464 01:11:34,270 --> 01:11:29,510 strange experiences and a number of a 1465 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:34,280 paranormal the photographs just are 1466 01:11:38,070 --> 01:11:36,410 amazing I mean everybody it seems that 1467 01:11:42,190 --> 01:11:38,080 picks up a camera see something unusual 1468 01:11:45,850 --> 01:11:42,200 you got to go to our YouTube site miss 1469 01:11:48,550 --> 01:11:45,860 UFO secret files and type in the Sedona 1470 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:48,560 there and you'll find some fascinating 1471 01:11:54,100 --> 01:11:50,210 interviews that we've done in the past 1472 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:54,110 now back to exploring the bizarre with 1473 01:11:59,680 --> 01:11:56,690 two of the most electrifying researchers 1474 01:12:04,810 --> 01:11:59,690 in the Paranoid your hosts Timothy 1475 01:12:12,020 --> 01:12:08,120 back for the final segment of explore in 1476 01:12:14,450 --> 01:12:12,030 the bazaar and Shannon I wanted to say 1477 01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:14,460 that from the photographs that that I've 1478 01:12:23,810 --> 01:12:19,110 seen so far I've really been enjoying 1479 01:12:31,030 --> 01:12:23,820 them because even though that a lot of 1480 01:12:33,890 --> 01:12:31,040 these photographs really do seem to show 1481 01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:33,900 anomalous things you don't really have 1482 01:12:37,340 --> 01:12:35,970 an axe to grind I mean you know your 1483 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:37,350 attitude is like you know this is a 1484 01:12:41,180 --> 01:12:39,810 photograph you know I you could you know 1485 01:12:46,540 --> 01:12:41,190 believe it or not believe it I don't 1486 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:46,550 care yeah I guess uh and that that angle 1487 01:12:51,830 --> 01:12:50,010 frustrates some people but I really do 1488 01:12:55,070 --> 01:12:51,840 think it's the only way to go because 1489 01:12:58,100 --> 01:12:55,080 you know these experiences are partially 1490 01:13:00,950 --> 01:12:58,110 interior as well so there's always an 1491 01:13:04,430 --> 01:13:00,960 element that I that obviously I cannot 1492 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:04,440 photograph and so the photographs kind 1493 01:13:09,590 --> 01:13:06,930 of resonate with the experience but 1494 01:13:12,980 --> 01:13:09,600 they're not exactly documenting the 1495 01:13:15,260 --> 01:13:12,990 whole thing and I've had such strange 1496 01:13:17,450 --> 01:13:15,270 synchronicities um with it with the 1497 01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:17,460 pictures and you know to a skeptic that 1498 01:13:21,770 --> 01:13:19,530 won't always be just a coincidence and 1499 01:13:25,940 --> 01:13:21,780 you know to a believer that would always 1500 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:25,950 be incredibly meaningful so I'm not and 1501 01:13:29,870 --> 01:13:28,170 I I just feel like it's a waste of time 1502 01:13:31,610 --> 01:13:29,880 because these experiences unless 1503 01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:31,620 somebody has a personal experience 1504 01:13:35,300 --> 01:13:33,450 they're not going to become a believer 1505 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:35,310 just because of my photographs you know 1506 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:40,290 and and vice versa so I guess it it took 1507 01:13:44,090 --> 01:13:41,970 me a while to get to that place where I 1508 01:13:48,140 --> 01:13:44,100 just keep it open-ended but I feel very 1509 01:13:51,110 --> 01:13:48,150 comfortable there well I appreciate that 1510 01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:51,120 because I mean anymore it seems like 1511 01:13:56,270 --> 01:13:54,510 that you know you see you see on the 1512 01:13:58,310 --> 01:13:56,280 news I mean rather than reporting the 1513 01:14:00,050 --> 01:13:58,320 news everybody is telling you you know 1514 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:00,060 like what what they think the news 1515 01:14:11,450 --> 01:14:09,190 Monteux it's it's it's just becomes so I 1516 01:14:14,420 --> 01:14:11,460 can't I can't think of the right word 1517 01:14:16,919 --> 01:14:14,430 here but you know with your photographs 1518 01:14:20,819 --> 01:14:16,929 I mean you're just presenting them as 1519 01:14:23,609 --> 01:14:20,829 they are and you you let the me let the 1520 01:14:27,810 --> 01:14:23,619 readers make up their own mind now out 1521 01:14:31,489 --> 01:14:27,820 of the the photographs that you have 1522 01:14:35,219 --> 01:14:31,499 taken and besides the the guy with the 1523 01:14:37,500 --> 01:14:35,229 the elongated hand can you give us 1524 01:14:39,620 --> 01:14:37,510 another example of a a situation that 1525 01:14:41,969 --> 01:14:39,630 that you took pictures of that you know 1526 01:14:45,060 --> 01:14:41,979 during the time you were like wow this 1527 01:14:48,270 --> 01:14:45,070 is just really bizarre yes actually 1528 01:14:50,100 --> 01:14:48,280 there's um and this is on my site you 1529 01:14:52,319 --> 01:14:50,110 know that I only have small samples of 1530 01:14:53,879 --> 01:14:52,329 the images on the site I do have 1531 01:14:57,449 --> 01:14:53,889 hundreds of pictures that will be in the 1532 01:14:59,879 --> 01:14:57,459 book but so this was happening with the 1533 01:15:02,549 --> 01:14:59,889 same medium with the enlarged hand 1534 01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:02,559 Gordon and gar forth I took some 1535 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:06,489 pictures of him in a trance it was kind 1536 01:15:10,350 --> 01:15:08,650 of like an impromptu trance and and the 1537 01:15:13,589 --> 01:15:10,360 the room was only lit by a green 1538 01:15:16,799 --> 01:15:13,599 security light so my exposures were very 1539 01:15:19,259 --> 01:15:16,809 long and he said his face was going to 1540 01:15:21,060 --> 01:15:19,269 change shape and I took you know a bunch 1541 01:15:22,859 --> 01:15:21,070 of exposures and obviously you know 1542 01:15:26,699 --> 01:15:22,869 being long exposure there's some blur 1543 01:15:28,020 --> 01:15:26,709 and but in every picture he looked in 1544 01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:28,030 many of them he looked like a different 1545 01:15:32,969 --> 01:15:30,760 different people and there was one in 1546 01:15:35,009 --> 01:15:32,979 particular where he looked as if he's 1547 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:35,019 wearing glasses and had like this tiny 1548 01:15:39,239 --> 01:15:38,050 mustache and I was actually afraid to 1549 01:15:41,699 --> 01:15:39,249 show him this picture because I thought 1550 01:15:43,109 --> 01:15:41,709 the mustache looked a little bit too too 1551 01:15:46,649 --> 01:15:43,119 uncomfortably close to like a Hitler 1552 01:15:48,929 --> 01:15:46,659 esque mustache and I thought oh god I 1553 01:15:51,540 --> 01:15:48,939 can't show him this but I but I did and 1554 01:15:53,549 --> 01:15:51,550 he said oh that's my favorite image and 1555 01:15:55,259 --> 01:15:53,559 I thought wow really why does he like 1556 01:15:58,020 --> 01:15:55,269 this picture that I think it's a little 1557 01:15:59,759 --> 01:15:58,030 bit spooky and then he told me he took 1558 01:16:01,410 --> 01:15:59,769 me back to his home and showed me a 1559 01:16:04,049 --> 01:16:01,420 picture of his great-grandfather and 1560 01:16:05,729 --> 01:16:04,059 it's actually him looking as if he's the 1561 01:16:08,339 --> 01:16:05,739 spitting image of his great-grandfather 1562 01:16:10,830 --> 01:16:08,349 and on my site under physical mediumship 1563 01:16:13,199 --> 01:16:10,840 I have them paired together so you can 1564 01:16:15,629 --> 01:16:13,209 see this bizarre photographic 1565 01:16:17,489 --> 01:16:15,639 synchronicity that there was no way I 1566 01:16:20,279 --> 01:16:17,499 could create that was a function of the 1567 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:20,289 shutter this is what put up some of 1568 01:16:25,919 --> 01:16:23,650 those shots on our YouTube channel we 1569 01:16:29,489 --> 01:16:25,929 will have that up in a couple of days 1570 01:16:30,870 --> 01:16:29,499 the YouTube version of this on mr. ufos 1571 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:30,880 secret 1572 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:33,930 files we have five or six thousand 1573 01:16:39,300 --> 01:16:36,970 subscribers through our show over there 1574 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:39,310 and we always had a little visual to it 1575 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:42,970 since it is YouTube not not a radio per 1576 01:16:49,710 --> 01:16:45,850 se anyway kids I'm sorry go ahead 1577 01:16:51,810 --> 01:16:49,720 oh yeah so I mean so I call that like a 1578 01:16:54,150 --> 01:16:51,820 photographic synchronicity and I've had 1579 01:16:56,430 --> 01:16:54,160 many of those where it's this odd 1580 01:16:58,920 --> 01:16:56,440 experience where the process kind of 1581 01:17:01,650 --> 01:16:58,930 resonates with the invisible experience 1582 01:17:04,890 --> 01:17:01,660 that I'm being told is happening but I 1583 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:04,900 can't see with my eyes now are using a 1584 01:17:11,790 --> 01:17:08,650 film or digital cameras now I'm using 1585 01:17:14,910 --> 01:17:11,800 digital but I did begin shooting film so 1586 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:14,920 I've done both and I think either is a 1587 01:17:19,740 --> 01:17:17,770 worthy endeavor I've also used infrared 1588 01:17:24,300 --> 01:17:19,750 cameras 1589 01:17:26,220 --> 01:17:24,310 been kind of interested in maybe playing 1590 01:17:28,710 --> 01:17:26,230 around with that but for the most part 1591 01:17:31,290 --> 01:17:28,720 I'm just with a regular 35 millimeter 1592 01:17:33,030 --> 01:17:31,300 professional camera and a tripod yeah 1593 01:17:34,230 --> 01:17:33,040 remember let's remember there used to be 1594 01:17:37,830 --> 01:17:34,240 a fellow who lives out there in 1595 01:17:41,220 --> 01:17:37,840 California Arnold that constable I think 1596 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:41,230 it was who took a photographs of the the 1597 01:17:46,070 --> 01:17:43,810 sky in the desert and and all these 1598 01:17:49,740 --> 01:17:46,080 weird well he called them space animals 1599 01:17:52,140 --> 01:17:49,750 would appear oh yeah I'm not familiar 1600 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:52,150 with him actually but I know of other 1601 01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:54,730 people that have taken pictures you know 1602 01:18:01,920 --> 01:17:57,370 using various types of cameras infrared 1603 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:01,930 for instance is very you'll if you look 1604 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:04,330 through like a video camera through the 1605 01:18:11,460 --> 01:18:08,290 eyepiece it it records an infrared it'll 1606 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:11,470 it'll it'll show you infrared images and 1607 01:18:15,810 --> 01:18:14,290 so you can actually see things that you 1608 01:18:18,630 --> 01:18:15,820 wouldn't normally see with your naked 1609 01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:18,640 eye so there's there's a lot of ways to 1610 01:18:24,470 --> 01:18:22,210 do these things and I'm sure that you 1611 01:18:27,330 --> 01:18:24,480 know either using a digital camera or a 1612 01:18:30,110 --> 01:18:27,340 photographic the the old style as they 1613 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:30,120 say would produce some interesting 1614 01:18:35,490 --> 01:18:33,010 effects for sure what what about these 1615 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:35,500 nighttime photographs now that have been 1616 01:18:42,030 --> 01:18:39,370 taken through the oh the I call them 1617 01:18:44,399 --> 01:18:42,040 opera night vision night vision yeah 1618 01:18:46,589 --> 01:18:44,409 yeah yeah those 1619 01:18:49,259 --> 01:18:46,599 those are very interesting and and once 1620 01:18:52,199 --> 01:18:49,269 again you know you're seeing triangular 1621 01:18:55,350 --> 01:18:52,209 craft you know you're seeing things that 1622 01:18:57,419 --> 01:18:55,360 are you know going along at a very high 1623 01:18:59,879 --> 01:18:57,429 high rate of speed and then you know 1624 01:19:02,580 --> 01:18:59,889 doing a right angle turn which is you 1625 01:19:06,540 --> 01:19:02,590 know any kind of humanoid in there would 1626 01:19:11,250 --> 01:19:06,550 would have been mush help from some of 1627 01:19:14,989 --> 01:19:11,260 the descriptions they may be Bush we've 1628 01:19:19,290 --> 01:19:14,999 had we've had the Pillsbury Doughboy 1629 01:19:21,089 --> 01:19:19,300 that was seen a shell and tire and back 1630 01:19:24,989 --> 01:19:21,099 Tim wasn't it in in Italy or France 1631 01:19:28,319 --> 01:19:24,999 during the big flap in 1954 and a couple 1632 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:28,329 of a weird little bump in humanoids that 1633 01:19:33,989 --> 01:19:30,130 were there on the railroad track that 1634 01:19:38,299 --> 01:19:33,999 looked like some of these mo seas and 1635 01:19:46,290 --> 01:19:42,330 almost like watch walking trash bins so 1636 01:19:48,709 --> 01:19:46,300 very very peculiar indeed have you seen 1637 01:19:52,259 --> 01:19:48,719 anything though through the night vision 1638 01:19:55,229 --> 01:19:52,269 yeah I actually have it was a triangular 1639 01:19:57,899 --> 01:19:55,239 craft it was just basically points of 1640 01:20:00,989 --> 01:19:57,909 light that were connected you couldn't 1641 01:20:04,290 --> 01:20:00,999 see it was at a pretty high altitude and 1642 01:20:06,779 --> 01:20:04,300 and the way it was traveling and the 1643 01:20:08,850 --> 01:20:06,789 speed it was traveling again you'd have 1644 01:20:10,770 --> 01:20:08,860 to it wasn't a satellite because we 1645 01:20:13,859 --> 01:20:10,780 checked the you can there's a site you 1646 01:20:16,350 --> 01:20:13,869 can go to to check satellite when they 1647 01:20:21,870 --> 01:20:16,360 come through etc and then it wasn't that 1648 01:20:24,629 --> 01:20:21,880 so through a process of you know this is 1649 01:20:27,540 --> 01:20:24,639 it isn't that so it's got to be this 1650 01:20:30,239 --> 01:20:27,550 type of a thing so now have you you know 1651 01:20:33,989 --> 01:20:30,249 we've talked a night of tonight about 1652 01:20:35,699 --> 01:20:33,999 them ectoplasm and taking photographs in 1653 01:20:37,679 --> 01:20:35,709 the science room have you ever taken 1654 01:20:39,270 --> 01:20:37,689 pictures of anything and they had to 1655 01:20:43,529 --> 01:20:39,280 come out where you couldn't explain what 1656 01:20:46,770 --> 01:20:43,539 was on the on the film myself no but 1657 01:20:50,759 --> 01:20:46,780 I've gotten photographs from people that 1658 01:20:53,399 --> 01:20:50,769 have had experiences and it does look 1659 01:20:58,260 --> 01:20:53,409 like if you want to call it ectoplasm 1660 01:21:00,060 --> 01:20:58,270 that type of a photograph you know 1661 01:21:03,090 --> 01:21:00,070 by the way one one little factoid about 1662 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:03,100 ectoplasm you know there was a gentleman 1663 01:21:07,890 --> 01:21:05,170 I guess in France that coined the phrase 1664 01:21:08,970 --> 01:21:07,900 Richter technique was his name Shannon I 1665 01:21:11,250 --> 01:21:08,980 don't know if you're familiar with him 1666 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:11,260 yeah yeah Charles rachet yeah Charles

of an interesting 1670 01:21:28,770 --> 01:21:26,260 character and I don't know if you ever 1671 01:21:31,350 --> 01:21:28,780 saw them the original movie topper with 1672 01:21:34,380 --> 01:21:31,360 Cary Grant net but that's a great movie 1673 01:21:38,610 --> 01:21:34,390 yeah especially when he drank two 1674 01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:38,620 martinis you know it's interesting 1675 01:21:42,690 --> 01:21:40,630 because they used the term ectoplasm in 1676 01:21:48,420 --> 01:21:42,700 that movie good night that movie was 1677 01:21:51,270 --> 01:21:48,430 made in 1937 yeah Wow

01:21:56,260 in fact in the one of the recent issues 1681 01:22:02,130 --> 01:22:00,730 of the of the psychic news and there's a 1682 01:22:03,090 --> 01:22:02,140 fellow again I've tried to get him on 1683 01:22:04,620 --> 01:22:03,100 the program 1684 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:04,630 I hope do you have none in the future 1685 01:22:10,590 --> 01:22:07,410 Gary Schwartz who lives I think in 1686 01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:10,600 either in Arizona or California who's 1687 01:22:15,330 --> 01:22:13,450 been working building some sort of 1688 01:22:17,820 --> 01:22:15,340 device or telephone to talk to the other 1689 01:22:25,290 --> 01:22:17,830 side have you researched his work at all 1690 01:22:27,660 --> 01:22:25,300 oh you take this one oh well I I know a 1691 01:22:30,060 --> 01:22:27,670 lot of people who know his work and he 1692 01:22:33,330 --> 01:22:30,070 actually I think he in the 90s he also 1693 01:22:35,610 --> 01:22:33,340 did a study on mediums and I know 1694 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:35,620 several of the mediums who are in that 1695 01:22:40,380 --> 01:22:37,690 study but yes I forget what it's called 1696 01:22:42,780 --> 01:22:40,390 it's some kind of a phone device to talk 1697 01:22:45,290 --> 01:22:42,790 to the dead well addict into the soul 1698 01:22:48,540 --> 01:22:45,300 phone yeah soul phone the soul phone 1699 01:22:51,620 --> 01:22:48,550 gotta have one of those yeah in fact his 1700 01:22:54,570 --> 01:22:51,630 I would say partner there are at least a 1701 01:22:58,290 --> 01:22:54,580 fellow that he's worked with in the past 1702 01:23:01,350 --> 01:22:58,300 Paul Davis has been on our program and 1703 01:23:04,050 --> 01:23:01,360 he wrote a book and did a videotape 1704 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:04,060 recently about are you familiar with 1705 01:23:09,260 --> 01:23:06,130 forry ackerman who used to publish a 1706 01:23:11,770 --> 01:23:09,270 Famous Monsters magazine and he was a 1707 01:23:16,330 --> 01:23:11,780 devout atheist 1708 01:23:17,379 --> 01:23:16,340 but apparently after his passing you 1709 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:17,389 know he was a friend of all these 1710 01:23:21,310 --> 01:23:19,610 magicians and all who who think that 1711 01:23:23,319 --> 01:23:21,320 everything that happens in the seance 1712 01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:23,329 room or is it part of spiritualism or 1713 01:23:29,379 --> 01:23:26,690 UFOs is a total fraud apparently after 1714 01:23:34,629 --> 01:23:29,389 his passing he did manage to come back 1715 01:23:36,010 --> 01:23:34,639 and improve proof of survival I know do 1716 01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:36,020 you think I mean channa would you say 1717 01:23:40,810 --> 01:23:38,570 there is proof of survival I mean what 1718 01:23:44,919 --> 01:23:40,820 does this all mean when you you shake it 1719 01:23:47,919 --> 01:23:44,929 up and and and put it down in front of 1720 01:23:54,549 --> 01:23:47,929 you what what is the the end results 1721 01:23:56,649 --> 01:23:54,559 here I do think that there is a lot of 1722 01:24:01,330 --> 01:23:56,659 evidence that mediums are getting 1723 01:24:03,879 --> 01:24:01,340 information and you know that they could 1724 01:24:08,950 --> 01:24:03,889 not have known and they're having the 1725 01:24:11,260 --> 01:24:08,960 experience for themselves that it seems 1726 01:24:12,850 --> 01:24:11,270 to be spirits from the dead I don't know 1727 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:12,860 if you know the work of Julie by she'll 1728 01:24:17,859 --> 01:24:15,170 at the wind bridge Institute but they're 1729 01:24:20,049 --> 01:24:17,869 doing them you know double-blind studies 1730 01:24:22,660 --> 01:24:20,059 on the information mediums bring forth 1731 01:24:25,419 --> 01:24:22,670 in readings and it's pretty it's pretty 1732 01:24:26,919 --> 01:24:25,429 compelling and I think they're doing a 1733 01:24:30,129 --> 01:24:26,929 good job at saying hey there's 1734 01:24:32,319 --> 01:24:30,139 information coming here I've talked to 1735 01:24:34,180 --> 01:24:32,329 parapsychology information coming from 1736 01:24:36,310 --> 01:24:34,190 right like I've talked to pair of 1737 01:24:38,589 --> 01:24:36,320 psychologists who believe that oh it's 1738 01:24:40,330 --> 01:24:38,599 just psychic you know they're getting 1739 01:24:42,669 --> 01:24:40,340 the information from your brain and then 1740 01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:42,679 they're assigning the agency to spirits 1741 01:24:48,220 --> 01:24:46,610 in their own you know and then but you 1742 01:24:50,140 --> 01:24:48,230 talk to mediums and they say they're 1743 01:24:51,430 --> 01:24:50,150 absolutely sure with on the beyond a 1744 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:51,440 shadow of a doubt that they're speaking 1745 01:24:55,990 --> 01:24:55,010 to spirits of the dead so you know I 1746 01:24:58,600 --> 01:24:56,000 don't know it's still being debated 1747 01:25:00,700 --> 01:24:58,610 what's exactly going on yeah of course 1748 01:25:02,919 --> 01:25:00,710 they are but a year that's been another 1749 01:25:05,430 --> 01:25:02,929 so many times Paulie you know he is of 1750 01:25:08,290 --> 01:25:05,440 the opinion that this is all kind of a 1751 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:08,300 multi-dimensional a layer and that some 1752 01:25:12,910 --> 01:25:10,130 of these voices in this information are 1753 01:25:14,979 --> 01:25:12,920 are coming from somewhere else but it 1754 01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:14,989 doesn't necessarily mean that they have 1755 01:25:21,580 --> 01:25:18,050 to be you know this your deceased aunt 1756 01:25:23,979 --> 01:25:21,590 or uncle or or somebody else 1757 01:25:26,140 --> 01:25:23,989 well how prevalent would you say the 1758 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:26,150 fraud is 1759 01:25:33,220 --> 01:25:28,610 in the Spiritualist the field today 1760 01:25:35,529 --> 01:25:33,230 because I remember back in the 1960s I 1761 01:25:37,689 --> 01:25:35,539 saw a film that was made I think a camp 1762 01:25:41,859 --> 01:25:37,699 chesterfield where they had put in 1763 01:25:43,299 --> 01:25:41,869 infrared cameras and you know the the 1764 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:43,309 spirit behind the curtain and the 1765 01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:46,489 ectoplasm was really some other you know 1766 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:51,440 medium opposing is some great Indian 1767 01:25:55,870 --> 01:25:52,489 from the other side 1768 01:25:59,470 --> 01:25:55,880 yes that's um there was a great book 1769 01:26:02,740 --> 01:25:59,480 written about that that whole debacle 1770 01:26:05,020 --> 01:26:02,750 it's called the psychic mafia by Allen 1771 01:26:07,930 --> 01:26:05,030 Spragg it and my friend William Rauscher 1772 01:26:12,010 --> 01:26:07,940 wrote the foreword it was really great 1773 01:26:13,540 --> 01:26:12,020 read I highly recommend it but um as far 1774 01:26:15,490 --> 01:26:13,550 as fraud you're definitely gonna find a 1775 01:26:18,850 --> 01:26:15,500 lot more fraud when you get into the 1776 01:26:22,209 --> 01:26:18,860 physical mediumship seances and but as 1777 01:26:24,970 --> 01:26:22,219 far as clairvoyant goes you know maybe 1778 01:26:27,430 --> 01:26:24,980 there's some mediums who are I I found 1779 01:26:29,620 --> 01:26:27,440 mostly sincere practitioners who really 1780 01:26:32,950 --> 01:26:29,630 believe what they're doing yes uh-huh 1781 01:26:34,750 --> 01:26:32,960 and yeah yeah I would 1782 01:26:37,830 --> 01:26:34,760 now how about some of these great 1783 01:26:42,879 --> 01:26:37,840 mediums of the the past like home and 1784 01:26:46,390 --> 01:26:42,889 that were supposed to levitate and move 1785 01:26:49,770 --> 01:26:46,400 about the room and live seance tables 1786 01:26:53,319 --> 01:26:49,780 without the you know any any form of 1787 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:53,329 chicanery being involved I mean do you 1788 01:26:58,359 --> 01:26:55,210 think a lot of this was a you know 1789 01:27:01,390 --> 01:26:58,369 honest the mediumship or was it a 1790 01:27:04,859 --> 01:27:01,400 trickery and a form of entertainment to 1791 01:27:07,359 --> 01:27:04,869 some degree um I'm kind of a both/and 1792 01:27:09,370 --> 01:27:07,369 person I think sometimes there's a term 1793 01:27:11,500 --> 01:27:09,380 in spiritualism called mixed mediumship 1794 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:11,510 and you know the famous medium you 1795 01:27:18,189 --> 01:27:14,090 seppia Palladino would say hold me tight 1796 01:27:23,410 --> 01:27:18,199 or I'll cheat you know when and when 1797 01:27:26,830 --> 01:27:23,420 they were when they were able to get her 1798 01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:26,840 under really really strict controls she 1799 01:27:31,180 --> 01:27:28,730 was still able to produce the phenomena 1800 01:27:33,819 --> 01:27:31,190 but if she could cheat she would to make 1801 01:27:37,509 --> 01:27:33,829 it easier for herself you know home is 1802 01:27:38,900 --> 01:27:37,519 one of the big enigmas of all time you 1803 01:27:41,660 --> 01:27:38,910 know he's really people 1804 01:27:43,820 --> 01:27:41,670 are you know to this day still pondering 1805 01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:43,830 his room as far as I know he was never 1806 01:27:54,230 --> 01:27:49,890 caught and then of course you had the 1807 01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:54,240 the great slate board phenomena where 1808 01:27:58,790 --> 01:27:56,370 they put a piece of chalk between two 1809 01:28:02,030 --> 01:27:58,800 police that the pieces of slate and ask 1810 01:28:04,490 --> 01:28:02,040 the spirit questions and it would answer 1811 01:28:08,450 --> 01:28:04,500 when they took away the slate you know 1812 01:28:09,830 --> 01:28:08,460 peel the slate uh-huh 1813 01:28:15,410 --> 01:28:09,840 maybe we need a slate board to 1814 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:15,420 communicate well it was the same thing 1815 01:28:23,210 --> 01:28:18,690 with the with the spirit with the spirit 1816 01:28:25,190 --> 01:28:23,220 paintings where it the the canvas would 1817 01:28:27,290 --> 01:28:25,200 just within it seemed like a matter of 1818 01:28:29,270 --> 01:28:27,300 minutes would have these absolutely 1819 01:28:33,190 --> 01:28:29,280 glorious paintings on them and I think 1820 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:33,200 Shannon actually has some photographs of 1821 01:28:39,620 --> 01:28:36,090 some of these examples and I taste 1822 01:28:42,010 --> 01:28:39,630 something if if these were cheating 1823 01:28:48,380 --> 01:28:42,020 whoever the artist was living or dead 1824 01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:48,390 they were absolutely excellent now in 1825 01:28:57,650 --> 01:28:52,290 the in the camp Chesterfield was that 1826 01:28:59,420 --> 01:28:57,660 the the one near you Tim yes camp they 1827 01:29:01,010 --> 01:28:59,430 have some of those paintings hanging oh 1828 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:01,020 yes yeah they they have it they have it 1829 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:03,930 just there absolutely glorious gallery 1830 01:29:12,010 --> 01:29:07,170 of some of these paintings that you know 1831 01:29:14,750 --> 01:29:12,020 go back you know for decades and we 1832 01:29:18,260 --> 01:29:14,760 remember a year or so ago we had a 1833 01:29:20,990 --> 01:29:18,270 couple on the exploring the bazaar here 1834 01:29:24,140 --> 01:29:21,000 that did they would set with their 1835 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:24,150 people and do paintings and or 1836 01:29:29,510 --> 01:29:26,730 sketchings and when they showed them to 1837 01:29:33,170 --> 01:29:29,520 the individuals who were you know we're 1838 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:33,180 there for a piece of art or psychic and 1839 01:29:37,910 --> 01:29:35,850 reading they would be remarkable 1840 01:29:39,860 --> 01:29:37,920 renderings of members of their family 1841 01:29:41,780 --> 01:29:39,870 who had passed away and I think that's 1842 01:29:44,020 --> 01:29:41,790 hard it kind of hard to cheat I mean you 1843 01:29:47,870 --> 01:29:44,030 might have somebody in the parking lot 1844 01:29:49,250 --> 01:29:47,880 taking down a license plates numbers and 1845 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:49,260 getting Social Security numbers or 1846 01:29:53,050 --> 01:29:51,810 something like that but finding out what 1847 01:29:59,090 --> 01:29:53,060 your 1848 01:30:01,400 --> 01:29:59,100 uncle twice-removed look like who lived 1849 01:30:04,100 --> 01:30:01,410 a hundred years ago I would think it's a 1850 01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:04,110 little bit harder to do now Tim I want 1851 01:30:07,190 --> 01:30:05,970 to ask a less real quick before we run 1852 01:30:09,590 --> 01:30:07,200 out of time since we've been talking 1853 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:09,600 about photography you know I know that 1854 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:12,570 there have been some abductees who have 1855 01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:16,290 tried to film their abduction setting up 1856 01:30:20,450 --> 01:30:17,970 a camera in their bedrooms or anything 1857 01:30:24,140 --> 01:30:20,460 like that you know how do you know has 1858 01:30:27,650 --> 01:30:24,150 there been any you know success in these 1859 01:30:30,050 --> 01:30:27,660 attempts very little very little there 1860 01:30:32,890 --> 01:30:30,060 there have been photographs I've 1861 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:32,900 received photographs from people 1862 01:30:41,150 --> 01:30:38,130 supposedly of the alien and it's hard to 1863 01:30:43,850 --> 01:30:41,160 discern well there was a you know and 1864 01:30:45,650 --> 01:30:43,860 there druffle whose react uppal of books 1865 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:45,660 on the subject she had a administer 1866 01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:47,970 whose Bailey I think his name was boy 1867 01:30:55,610 --> 01:30:52,170 what a memory I have for this who had 1868 01:30:58,190 --> 01:30:55,620 the use of et types coming into his 1869 01:31:00,710 --> 01:30:58,200 bedroom at night and he didn't manage to 1870 01:31:03,710 --> 01:31:00,720 take a couple of photographs up against 1871 01:31:06,290 --> 01:31:03,720 the the shades you know to the air to 1872 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:06,300 the outside they kind of look like hand 1873 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:08,730 puppets to me but you can't say they 1874 01:31:14,540 --> 01:31:12,690 also resembled some of the figures that 1875 01:31:17,990 --> 01:31:14,550 were photographed and say you know 1876 01:31:20,810 --> 01:31:18,000 during the the seances so that's a 1877 01:31:22,490 --> 01:31:20,820 peculiar case right there that I'm 1878 01:31:26,150 --> 01:31:22,500 familiar with and then of course you get 1879 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:26,160 a lot of these YouTube reports which are 1880 01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:28,650 totally impossible to verify of of 1881 01:31:33,890 --> 01:31:30,930 graves and aliens of one type or another 1882 01:31:35,420 --> 01:31:33,900 popping up in the doorway or coming out 1883 01:31:37,730 --> 01:31:35,430 from behind a telephone pole or 1884 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:37,740 something like that right you get a lot 1885 01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:41,130 of people though that can actually draw 1886 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:44,490 what they've seen which is a lot better 1887 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:48,690 in most cases I was I was down in the 1888 01:31:56,870 --> 01:31:53,370 Gila Bend Arizona and out camping one 1889 01:31:59,630 --> 01:31:56,880 night with a couple of people and there 1890 01:32:02,240 --> 01:31:59,640 was a spectacular UFO sighting 1891 01:32:05,570 --> 01:32:02,250 we all had cameras I had a video camera 1892 01:32:09,260 --> 01:32:05,580 i we started to roll 1893 01:32:15,310 --> 01:32:09,270 and nothing showed up nothing showed up 1894 01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:15,320 in the film cameras or the video cameras 1895 01:32:23,510 --> 01:32:20,010 it was so frustrating one one was a blue 1896 01:32:26,690 --> 01:32:23,520 orb that just kind of meandered down 1897 01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:26,700 through this dry riverbed and then the 1898 01:32:32,450 --> 01:32:28,890 other one was like a bow tie 1899 01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:32,460 and it had yellow fringes around the 1900 01:32:37,850 --> 01:32:34,410 outside with a red middle and then it 1901 01:32:40,220 --> 01:32:37,860 would alternate to a red outside and a 1902 01:32:43,670 --> 01:32:40,230 yellow middle not I mean it was it was 1903 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:43,680 spectacular and
