--> 00:08:04,560 there's some people at travel channel 221 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:06,240 that kind of have ideas of what they 222 00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:07,120 think 223 00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:08,560 will work and not work with their 224 00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:10,560 current format 225 00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:12,000 but yeah i think they're doing a great 226 00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:15,280 job um you know i was on one episode of 227 00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:16,479 ancient aliens so i'd worked with them 228 00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:18,479 before i knew they were good people 229 00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,160 um but you know they've been 230 00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,560 um i think very open minded in terms of 231 00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:25,520 listening to 232 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,479 different angles and on a lot of these 233 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,080 creatures and cryptids 234 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:32,800 and they've explored a lot of different 235 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:33,599 theories 236 00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,599 so i mean that's kind of i see the 237 00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,599 formula on each episode is they'll talk 238 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,279 about a lot of different theories for 239 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:40,800 each cryptid 240 00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:42,719 they might kind of hone in on one at 241 00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:43,919 towards the end of the show 242 00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:46,640 depending but um you know i think 243 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,920 ultimately they're leaving it up to the 244 00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:49,120 audience to kind of make 245 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:50,399 make up their own mind and i think 246 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:53,360 that's always the best way to do it 247 00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,200 yeah the mothman episode was quite 248 00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:57,519 interesting as well as a recent wendy 249 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:00,880 go uh episode now i see that 250 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:03,600 the chupacabras is an upcoming subject 251 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:03,920 in 252 00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:09,519 uh where has the research and 253 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:10,880 investigation 254 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:17,269 well you know the most the question i 255 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:18,560 get asked the most or one of the 256 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:20,000 questions i get asked the most is you 257 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:20,880 know why 258 00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:24,000 is the description of the 259 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:26,080 original puerto rican chupacabra that we 260 00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,399 heard about in 1995 261 00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,720 so vastly different from other things 262 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:32,160 that are recalling 263 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,160 been called chupacabras by the media and 264 00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:36,480 other people in recent years now 265 00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:38,240 most of my experience of course is with 266 00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:41,360 investigating these really weird looking 267 00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:44,880 grotesque dog like animals canids here 268 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:46,240 in texas 269 00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:48,320 beginning in 2004 with the elmendorf 270 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,279 beast 271 00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,800 and you know we know they're canids i 272 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:52,880 mean you can you could almost tell by 273 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:54,000 looking at them although they're 274 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:55,040 hairless and they have 275 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:57,920 a lot of them weird teeth and other 276 00:10:02,550 --> 00:09:59,440 deformities or 277 00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:02,560 abnormal traits but 278 00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,160 they have been it's alleged that the 279 00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:06,160 animals i've examined here in texas that 280 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:08,240 are really weird looking that they also 281 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:12,160 have uh killed animals in a similar 282 00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:13,680 fashion to the chupacabra that are 283 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:15,760 preyed on and that is drink the blood 284 00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:17,440 don't eat the meat which is very 285 00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:19,600 unnatural right most animals 286 00:10:23,110 --> 00:10:22,560 they're after flesh not just blood um i 287 00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:23,120 haven't seen 288 00:10:26,949 --> 00:10:24,800 real concrete evidence of that but i've 289 00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,959 seen some tantalizing evidence that 290 00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,399 that some of the killings here have 291 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:30,959 taken place that way so keep in mind 292 00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,040 the name chupacabra describes really a 293 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:35,040 behavior pattern more than a physical 294 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:36,480 description it's 295 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:38,480 you know the blood the goat sucker it's 296 00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:41,120 it's a vampire like uh predator 297 00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,880 so in that respect you may have 298 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:44,560 different types of creatures in 299 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,399 different areas that have displayed 300 00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:48,160 similar behavior patterns unless they've 301 00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:53,590 but i think for the episode i'm pretty 302 00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:55,920 sure they're going to explore all that 303 00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:00,560 different theories i will be back 304 00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:03,200 in tech uh at a familiar place which is 305 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:05,200 the property of phyllis canyon 306 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:08,240 uh the chupacabra lady who has a mounted 307 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:09,760 specimen in her 308 00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:12,720 living room and is had the foresight 309 00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:13,440 really to 310 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:15,519 start saving flesh samples and things 311 00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:18,399 from these weird animals but 312 00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:21,440 she does continue to have strange 313 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,240 activity around her property so again 314 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:26,480 those are not the puerto rican 315 00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:30,160 bipedal reptilian spikes down the back 316 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,480 chupacabras that she has that's a 317 00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,640 different type of animal 318 00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:36,000 but she does believe that they're 319 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,680 drinking they have 320 00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,600 killed her chickens in a vampire-like 321 00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:41,360 fashion which is really bizarre 322 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:44,320 so that's kind of where the uh i guess 323 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:45,839 the episode is probably gonna be focused 324 00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:46,720 on that 325 00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:48,320 predation pattern more than anything 326 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:51,200 else yeah it is interesting because the 327 00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:52,160 um 328 00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:53,920 like you stated the chupacabras the 329 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:55,839 original super coppers and 330 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,720 in puerto rico look nothing like what 331 00:12:06,949 --> 00:11:59,920 these 332 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:06,959 and texas really look like uh so you 333 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,800 you know i remember your investigation 334 00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:10,639 you had down in mexico 335 00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:13,279 on a farm where these things had tacked 336 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:14,560 i think it was either turkeys or 337 00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:16,320 chickens and killed a lot of them there 338 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:17,279 of course 339 00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,320 i i am aware of you looking into a lot 340 00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:25,509 um had stated before i remember 341 00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:28,959 when um that there was an original 342 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:29,920 investigation well 343 00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:32,480 not original but there was investigation 344 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:33,680 where 345 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:36,160 uh these things were described as the 346 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:38,079 blue dogs a possible mix of 347 00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,880 a yeah a mexican uh wolf or such 348 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:44,320 yeah that's a name that we use here in 349 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:46,800 texas a lot blue dog the texas blue dogs 350 00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:47,760 just to create some 351 00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:50,000 some delineation from the the original 352 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:51,839 chupacabra 353 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,040 from puerto rico but you know there's 354 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:54,800 more than two types even ron and you 355 00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,760 remember there's 356 00:12:59,670 --> 00:12:57,279 there have been descriptions of 357 00:13:02,870 --> 00:12:59,680 quote-unquote chupacabras with wings 358 00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:02,880 in places like chile and northern mexico 359 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,160 and some countries 360 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:07,920 it seems more reptilian in other 361 00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:10,800 countries it seems more like a 362 00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:13,440 kind of a predator type you know 363 00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,440 quadruped or you know so i mean 364 00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:17,519 it seems to be a broad-ranging name 365 00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:19,279 that's being used all across latin 366 00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:21,440 america to describe a lot of 367 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,800 strange creatures but some of them may 368 00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,720 have a similar again predation pattern 369 00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:28,480 which is drinking blood if that's true 370 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,399 it's pretty remarkable but 371 00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:32,399 that's where the name comes into play 372 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:34,000 now i know there have been 373 00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:37,040 um sightings in texas 374 00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:39,760 uh oklahoma and i think there was at 375 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:40,639 least one of 376 00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:43,839 kansas have these uh have these beasts 377 00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:46,560 moved in any other states in the country 378 00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:47,199 oh yeah 379 00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:49,839 uh mississippi people sent me photos 380 00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:52,560 from mississippi tennessee 381 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:55,600 maybe kentucky florida 382 00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:58,880 i believe so they kind of most of them 383 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:01,199 seem to be centered in texas or 384 00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:04,399 reported in texas but it's a it's a 385 00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:06,480 problem or a situation that's spread out 386 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:07,279 now 387 00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:10,720 of course the uh most 388 00:14:14,069 --> 00:14:12,639 academics have tried to explain it by 389 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:14,079 saying well 390 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,160 they're they they're just mangy coyotes 391 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,560 they have this disease mange which is a 392 00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,480 you know sarcoptic mange is a tiny mite 393 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,240 gets in the skin they scratch the hair 394 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:24,399 out blah blah blah 395 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:26,639 that might be a reasonable explanation 396 00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,160 in some cases 397 00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:30,480 but anyone who's ever seen an actual 398 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:31,600 mangy coyote 399 00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:34,240 will can tell you that they actually 400 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:36,240 it's not a uniform thing they have like 401 00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:38,000 patches of hair all over their body 402 00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:39,680 where they've scratched some places but 403 00:14:42,710 --> 00:14:41,440 not others they can't reach some places 404 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:42,720 to scratch the hair out 405 00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:44,800 right but these animals seem fairly 406 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,760 uniformly 407 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:48,000 hairless they have little wispy hairs 408 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:49,279 around their bodies 409 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:50,800 and sometimes they do have like a little 410 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:53,120 fringe going down their spine 411 00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:56,240 or hair around their feet so i you know 412 00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:58,079 again a lot of people think disease but 413 00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:59,440 you know i tend to think long that you 414 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:00,959 know it's a possibility at least that we 415 00:15:03,430 --> 00:15:02,560 could also be dealing with some type of 416 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:03,440 mutation 417 00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:05,440 something yeah that's not little defects 418 00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:06,560 you know because these 419 00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:08,320 animals it seems to be a genetic 420 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,800 situation where these traits are being 421 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,720 passed on and the again many of the 422 00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:14,320 animals i've examined have had like just 423 00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:15,120 really 424 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:18,720 you know unusual malformities and things 425 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:20,160 that would lead me to believe that 426 00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:22,240 you know maybe that's some genetics 427 00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:23,760 maybe disease and genetics 428 00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:26,800 all wrapped up in one who knows yeah 429 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,120 i've seen uh coyotes with means 430 00:15:33,189 --> 00:15:31,920 here in the east i mean uh maryland and 431 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:33,199 pennsylvania and 432 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,120 for the most part most of them are 433 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:37,440 emaciated as well so they look nothing 434 00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:38,399 like 435 00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:41,519 these these blue dogs that you have down 436 00:15:45,829 --> 00:15:42,560 there 437 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:45,839 different about them 438 00:15:52,069 --> 00:15:49,120 and um you know it's 439 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:52,079 it'll be interesting to see what what 440 00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:52,800 results 441 00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,440 in the future with the these uh these 442 00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:57,839 candidates because um 443 00:16:01,110 --> 00:16:00,639 the fact that people are saying that 444 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:01,120 they 445 00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:04,320 eat blood you know drink blood and leave 446 00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:06,000 the carcasses that's just 447 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:08,880 wild as far as i'm concerned yeah and 448 00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:09,279 these 449 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:14,079 uh ranchers that have dealt with 450 00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:15,839 most predators that you would expect you 451 00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:17,920 know coyotes bobcats 452 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:19,839 raccoons possum squirrels whatever 453 00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:20,880 there's a lot of things out there 454 00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:21,600 that'll snatch 455 00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:23,839 chickens but that's it they snatch the 456 00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:25,279 chicken they don't eat it there in the 457 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:25,759 pan 458 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:27,120 typically or maybe they'll eat a little 459 00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:29,199 bit and take the rest but 460 00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:32,560 and it's usually pretty messy right 461 00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:33,839 i mean that's that's the thing that's 462 00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:35,199 that's striking and people have to 463 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:36,399 remember is that 464 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:38,000 these the people that are experiencing 465 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:40,079 these situations that you know these are 466 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:41,519 people that are around 467 00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:43,040 all types of animals and they've seen a 468 00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:44,800 lot of things so 469 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:46,720 and you know and they're pretty baffled 470 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:47,920 by these uh 471 00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:50,000 by these killings livestock killings so 472 00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:53,199 it's yeah it's notable 473 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:56,079 now i had received some questions from 474 00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:57,600 some of my readers to ask you 475 00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:02,079 tonight uh russell had asked me 476 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:05,439 do you believe that the mothman and the 477 00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:08,799 owl man which is mostly known for in the 478 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,079 uk 479 00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:12,240 um are they the same creature do you 480 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:14,880 believe they are 481 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:17,600 i think that it's possible that they 482 00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:19,439 might be related i don't think they're 483 00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:21,520 exactly the same creature but perhaps 484 00:17:25,909 --> 00:17:22,319 the same 485 00:17:27,669 --> 00:17:25,919 phenomenon that generates these things 486 00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:27,679 wherever they come from or whatever they 487 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:30,160 are the main similarity and there's some 488 00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:32,080 pretty dramatic differences in terms of 489 00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:34,320 like the size mothman was 490 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:36,000 said to typically stand about six and a 491 00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:38,000 half feet tall i think owlman's much 492 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:39,600 shorter 493 00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:42,240 mothman was said by most witnesses to 494 00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:44,840 have kind of dark 495 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:48,160 uniform uh kind of a texture to the skin 496 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:48,880 whereas 497 00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:51,280 alamann was reported as having kind of a 498 00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:52,720 plumage or 499 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:55,600 furry type gray covering um but there 500 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,280 are similarities in terms of the large 501 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:59,200 glowing red eyes that's been reported of 502 00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:00,160 course in 503 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:03,200 uh with both creases creatures 504 00:18:08,549 --> 00:18:06,400 and also they're both have been 505 00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:08,559 pretty much reported in the same 506 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:10,400 location in terms of 507 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:12,240 you know mothman in and around point 508 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,520 pleasant i know there were some 509 00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:15,360 sightings down in charleston and 510 00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:17,200 right maybe over across the river in 511 00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:18,400 ohio 512 00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:21,600 um owl man has always been reported 513 00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:25,280 in the woods uh near mount and church 514 00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:28,160 and cemetery right there on the cornish 515 00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:29,679 coast of england 516 00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:32,400 um one of the things i talked about in 517 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:35,840 my flying humanoid book is the fact that 518 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:38,960 it seems like the majority of site 519 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:41,760 witnesses people that experience things 520 00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:42,000 like 521 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:45,039 mothman and owl man are either a 522 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,679 juvenile younger people and by younger i 523 00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:49,200 don't mean you know always children but 524 00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:49,600 maybe 525 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:52,240 adolescents teenagers and there seem to 526 00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:54,160 be more witnesses that are females as 527 00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:56,000 according to male 528 00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:57,360 so you know there was some wild 529 00:19:02,390 --> 00:18:59,039 speculation but 530 00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,400 um at the risk of offending anybody 531 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,720 if we could acknowledge that females 532 00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:05,919 perhaps 533 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:08,400 tend to have more of an emotional 534 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,520 capacity 535 00:19:12,390 --> 00:19:11,440 than males because of their the fact 536 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:12,400 that they're mothers and they're 537 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,840 nurturing and those types of things they 538 00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:16,160 have those instincts 539 00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:18,640 moreover younger females often go 540 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,320 through hormonal changes that cause them 541 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:22,480 to be very emotional 542 00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:24,160 and you know one of the theories about 543 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:25,840 things like mothman and owl man is that 544 00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:26,720 they are 545 00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:29,760 uh psychic vampires we were just talking 546 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,960 about 547 00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:32,559 traditional vampires but that they 548 00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:34,320 somehow these creatures these flying 549 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,720 creatures somehow feed off of emotional 550 00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:38,400 energy such as fear 551 00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:41,840 or you know who knows and that kind of 552 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:43,840 there are many many accounts of them you 553 00:19:48,789 --> 00:19:46,640 know basically terrorizing people 554 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,799 chasing young women chasing their cars 555 00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:50,480 popping up out of the darkness 556 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:52,400 they never actually physically attack 557 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:53,600 anybody but 558 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,360 they seem to really scare the bejesus 559 00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:57,440 out of people and um i just think that's 560 00:20:02,390 --> 00:19:58,640 an interesting 561 00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:02,400 uh coincidence well that you know 562 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:05,360 with the the wing humanoid encounters 563 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:07,280 that i've been documenting the past two 564 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:08,400 years 565 00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:11,440 it does seem like those beings are 566 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,919 also you know show those type of 567 00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:16,240 characteristics that they 568 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:18,640 you know they they kind of feed off the 569 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,000 fear or they project 570 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:22,240 some type of fear other than just 571 00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:24,000 someone being shocked by seeing the 572 00:20:28,149 --> 00:20:25,120 thing 573 00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:28,159 um i don't know i mean this may be 574 00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:29,840 something that's indicative of these 575 00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:33,039 winged these winged 576 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:35,200 yeah beans i mean it may be it's just 577 00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:36,799 it's all speculation of course 578 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,960 sure just it seems to be a as you look 579 00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:40,320 at and i know you've looked at like you 580 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,120 said a lot of 581 00:20:45,029 --> 00:20:43,520 uh accounts and sightings and reports i 582 00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:45,039 of course did when i was researching my 583 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:46,880 flying humanoid book and 584 00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:48,960 you know you kind of tend to focus a 585 00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:50,799 researcher you of course focus on the 586 00:20:55,110 --> 00:20:53,039 commonalities the patterns that pop 587 00:20:57,029 --> 00:20:55,120 up and when you start noticing certain 588 00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:57,039 types of people or certain 589 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,960 factors involved in different cases it's 590 00:21:02,950 --> 00:21:00,240 just you know it's kind of interesting 591 00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:02,960 and it's worth noting 592 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:06,559 now uh russell did ask me to ask you 593 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:07,120 again 594 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,919 um now i know you have investigated the 595 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:11,039 uh 596 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:13,679 the point pleasant mothman and and all 597 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:14,159 the 598 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:30,390 um you know i admittedly i haven't put a 599 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:30,880 lot of 600 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:34,080 uh focus on the injured cold aspect of 601 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:34,640 the mob 602 00:21:37,830 --> 00:21:36,880 man i know that was kind of you know 603 00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:37,840 john keel 604 00:21:41,430 --> 00:21:40,159 and um what was his name the guy that 605 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:41,440 wrote silver bridge 606 00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:44,799 it's escaping me right now john's buddy 607 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:46,559 the ufo researcher 608 00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:49,200 in a second um you know they kind of 609 00:21:54,549 --> 00:21:51,200 there were some similarities 610 00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:54,559 or i guess some coincidences in terms of 611 00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:56,880 the timing and the locations of you know 612 00:22:01,750 --> 00:21:58,640 the injured cold encounter alleged 613 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:01,760 injured cold encounter and uh 614 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:03,440 and the mothman kind of in that same 615 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:05,919 region around the same time period 616 00:22:10,549 --> 00:22:08,720 um but no i don't necessarily i'm not 617 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:10,559 primarily a ufologist i'm a 618 00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:12,000 cryptozoologist so i tend 619 00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:14,880 to focus on the theories that deal more 620 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:15,440 with 621 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:16,960 you know the the animal like 622 00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:18,640 characteristics of these different 623 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:19,840 creatures 624 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,280 um and you know john keel and of course 625 00:22:26,390 --> 00:22:25,200 others had explored that other theory so 626 00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:26,400 i didn't feel like it was 627 00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:27,679 something that you know really 628 00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:29,840 interested me enough to kind of 629 00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,600 you know gray barker that was his name 630 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:34,000 great oh yeah great marker okay 631 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:35,840 yeah so they you know those guys kind of 632 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:38,320 came from that background they had that 633 00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:40,720 i won't say bias but you know john keel 634 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:41,919 and gray barker had both been 635 00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:44,000 investigating a lot of ufo cases before 636 00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:45,679 the mothman happened 637 00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:48,880 um you know john keel of course also at 638 00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:49,760 times 639 00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:51,280 considered himself a bit of a 640 00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:53,440 demonologist allegedly that he referred 641 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:54,640 himself so he thought there were you 642 00:22:57,590 --> 00:22:55,600 know some kind of 643 00:22:59,430 --> 00:22:57,600 you know that was his his bias he saw 644 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:59,440 some connections or links with all of 645 00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:01,120 these different things 646 00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:02,880 tend to be that that kind of guy it 647 00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:04,559 seemed like that kind of researcher 648 00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:06,080 where he liked to 649 00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:07,679 to to explore those different types of 650 00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:09,280 links and connections 651 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:11,280 um i've approached the mothman as a 652 00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:12,880 purely objective 653 00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:15,280 you know you know it's it's it has 654 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:17,200 animal-like characteristics people say 655 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:19,440 it you know it flies around 656 00:23:26,310 --> 00:23:23,360 um it has wings and legs 657 00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:26,320 um it's big you know what could it be 658 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,080 and of course i you know it wasn't 659 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:30,799 long uh before i started investigating 660 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:32,240 these things that i ruled out 661 00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:33,679 you know anything flesh and blood 662 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:36,159 anything you know unknown animal 663 00:23:39,270 --> 00:23:37,840 that that could be misinterpreted or 664 00:23:41,909 --> 00:23:39,280 anything like that it's just so 665 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:41,919 weird the physical descriptions and the 666 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:42,559 the act 667 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:45,520 behaviors that are displayed by mothman 668 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:46,960 are all just so utterly bizarre and 669 00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:49,360 weird that they they have to be 670 00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:52,400 something you know from beyond yeah 671 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:53,279 that's 672 00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:55,200 however you want to characterize that 673 00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:58,240 exactly i mean that's the way i have 674 00:24:01,830 --> 00:24:00,960 you know when i when i first started 675 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:01,840 looking into 676 00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:04,640 a lot of this um these wing beings and 677 00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:05,840 uh 678 00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:08,080 yeah you're right how could one of these 679 00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:09,520 some of these things be indigenous i 680 00:24:13,430 --> 00:24:11,679 mean there's just no way 681 00:24:15,029 --> 00:24:13,440 that that can happen they got to come 682 00:24:16,950 --> 00:24:15,039 from somewhere other 683 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,960 than being on this earth plane i mean 684 00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:18,400 they're showing up 685 00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:20,720 they may actually be solid beings 686 00:24:25,750 --> 00:24:21,679 corporal beings 687 00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:25,760 but they don't have a physical presence 688 00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:28,080 whatever they are they are physical they 689 00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,600 are physical at the time they 690 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:31,520 place they choose to be physical but 691 00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:33,279 their origin is not 692 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:35,440 in the fossil history it's something 693 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:39,120 that's far beyond our comprehension 694 00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:40,799 yeah well it's a mystery and it's going 695 00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:43,039 to be a mystery i'm afraid for a while 696 00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:45,279 i'm just you know more i look into this 697 00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:47,760 thing i think i'm more confused that yet 698 00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:49,520 there's a lot of questions that pop up 699 00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:51,760 with this whole phenomena 700 00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:53,520 absolutely i've had some

time to 710 00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:13,840 time by people that have had 711 00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:17,200 experiences and you know they need to 712 00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:18,720 try to get some answers or some 713 00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:21,120 resolution very recently 714 00:25:27,909 --> 00:25:25,200 i spoke to a gentleman from west texas 715 00:25:29,669 --> 00:25:27,919 uh who contacted me i guess he he found 716 00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:29,679 out about my research and he claims that 717 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:32,320 back in 2014 718 00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:36,480 uh he had seen a a flying humanoid type 719 00:25:39,669 --> 00:25:37,760 creature now this was 720 00:25:41,669 --> 00:25:39,679 about eight o'clock at night he stepped 721 00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:41,679 out side to have a cigarette after 722 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:42,640 dinner 723 00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,720 and he says he was smoking he saw this 724 00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:46,080 thing in the sky and he 725 00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:48,159 says it was about in his estimation 726 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:50,400 about 13 feet long 727 00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:53,440 very powerful and muscular huge wings a 728 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:55,360 long tail and he said this is weird he 729 00:26:00,149 --> 00:25:58,159 said it had horns on its head 730 00:26:01,669 --> 00:26:00,159 that went straight back not like curled 731 00:26:03,510 --> 00:26:01,679 like a ram 732 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:03,520 and he didn't have feathers that had 733 00:26:07,909 --> 00:26:05,279 kind of like bat like wings 734 00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:07,919 arms and legs like a human and it said 735 00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:09,679 it just looked down at him as it glided 736 00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:10,000 over 737 00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:12,000 and now that particular area where he 738 00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:14,400 claims he saw it is a town called tohoka 739 00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:17,840 texas very recently i had written about 740 00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:20,559 a another couple that i interviewed from 741 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:21,200 nearby 742 00:26:24,230 --> 00:26:23,279 a town called big spring who had seen 743 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:24,240 this giant 744 00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:27,679 12-foot flying humanoid soaring overhead 745 00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:29,279 and they said it had long flowing hair 746 00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:30,880 but was very powerful 747 00:26:33,909 --> 00:26:32,799 and also very recently i spoke to a 748 00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:33,919 gentleman in in 749 00:26:39,029 --> 00:26:36,480 mexico who's who describes something 750 00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:39,039 very similar so you know unlike the mod 751 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,559 i mean mothman was obviously a 752 00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:42,480 fairly sizable thing but there seem to 753 00:26:45,750 --> 00:26:44,080 be some recurring features that are 754 00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:45,760 coming up in all these reports lately 755 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:47,520 that they're they're giants 756 00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:48,880 you know they're they're not just flying 757 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,799 humanoids but they're like 12 758 00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:52,640 feet tall they're very powerful and 759 00:26:57,990 --> 00:26:54,000 muscular 760 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:58,000 and um you know the black eyes i think 761 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:00,159 has been reported or big black eyes so 762 00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:04,080 you know not not sure if it's exactly 763 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:06,000 related to the mothman phenomenon 764 00:27:10,870 --> 00:27:09,200 but um you know that is interesting that 765 00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:10,880 there are new reports coming in and they 766 00:27:13,909 --> 00:27:12,559 kind of fit a pattern 767 00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:13,919 yeah there are a lot of different 768 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:17,279 reports coming in i mean it's um 769 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:19,520 you know we've been mostly focused in 770 00:27:22,389 --> 00:27:20,960 the upper midwest but 771 00:27:25,029 --> 00:27:22,399 you know we are occasionally getting 772 00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:25,039 reports just like we had a um 773 00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:28,399 i had received three separate reports of 774 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:32,240 something down in pasco county florida 775 00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:33,120 that 776 00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:35,600 looked i mean it was described very much 777 00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:36,480 like 778 00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:39,520 what was going on around chicago 779 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:42,880 and uh you know i 780 00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:45,120 i had no idea if it was related but i 781 00:27:47,190 --> 00:27:46,960 mean it was very similar to what people 782 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:47,200 were 783 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:50,080 reporting i had got a report in texas i 784 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:50,799 got one in 785 00:27:54,870 -->

demonic 841 00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,720 as i should call them demonic because 842 00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:02,399 they were almost like native american 843 00:30:04,789 --> 00:30:02,880 but 844 00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:04,799 the native american version of demonic 845 00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:06,000 very negative and 846 00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:07,840 you know kind of apparitions ghost 847 00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:10,000 spirits that were associated with 848 00:30:14,549 --> 00:30:10,960 negative energy 849 00:30:16,549 --> 00:30:14,559 so um that's one of the things that 850 00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:16,559 happened i mean i don't 851 00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:19,120 you know i can't specifically say that 852 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,880 that was the link but i i certainly 853 00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:22,080 didn't break my ankle 854 00:30:26,789 --> 00:30:24,559 on the sea monster episode or the big 855 00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:26,799 foot episode 856 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:30,159 it was the the nahani the negative dark 857 00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:30,880 spirit 858 00:30:35,430 --> 00:30:33,360 episode so yeah but he made for 859 00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:35,440 interesting television i do 860 00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:38,960 i will tell you that i mean uh uh 861 00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:40,640 it was quite a struggle because you're 862 00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:42,240 out in the middle of nowhere trying to 863 00:30:44,149 --> 00:30:42,720 find 864 00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:44,159 trying to get out of there so you can 865 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:46,399 get medical assistance yeah 866 00:30:50,230 --> 00:30:48,480 it was a bad bad one of the worst 867 00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:50,240 experiences of my life nobody ever wants 868 00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:52,000 to get injured but particularly 869 00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:54,000 you know kind of a wilderness area it's 870 00:30:59,750 --> 00:30:55,919 uh always kind of harrowing 871 00:31:01,430 --> 00:30:59,760 but you know life life goes on you know 872 00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:01,440 hopefully i'll be a little more careful 873 00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:04,399 next time 874 00:31:08,149 --> 00:31:07,440 yeah and i don't generally do paranormal 875 00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:08,159 research 876 00:31:12,549 --> 00:31:11,519 or you know anything way way you know 877 00:31:14,149 --> 00:31:12,559 anything dealing with 878 00:31:16,470 --> 00:31:14,159 you know kind of negative energies and 879 00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:16,480 attachments i try to now some of the 880 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:18,320 stuff kind of touches on that i guess 881 00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:19,840 some of the mothman stuff 882 00:31:26,789 --> 00:31:23,200 and occasionally i'll get some kind of 883 00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:26,799 darker kind of cases like that but you 884 00:31:29,909 --> 00:31:28,399 know again i'm more of i try to be more 885 00:31:30,549 --> 00:31:29,919 of a traditional cryptozoologist and 886 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:30,559 looking 887 00:31:35,350 --> 00:31:32,320 for you know basically things that could 888 00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:35,360 be undiscovered animals and 889 00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:37,679 well you know sometimes it's weird but 890 00:31:41,190 --> 00:31:39,440 it's kind of hard to avoid it though in 891 00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:41,200 some cases because 892 00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:43,600 these things do seem to tie in together 893 00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:45,279 or connect together 894 00:31:50,870 --> 00:31:48,399 uh in some instances i mean it 895 00:31:52,710 --> 00:31:50,880 just seems like that's what i run into 896 00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:52,720 all the time or i'm investigating or 897 00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:55,120 researching something and i got one or 898 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:56,960 two or three different things coming in 899 00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:57,600 with it 900 00:32:00,710 --> 00:31:59,600 as far as trying to explain what's going 901 00:32:03,590 --> 00:32:00,720 on 902 00:32:05,269 --> 00:32:03,600 yeah it is it is hard to separate the 903 00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:05,279 wheat from the chaff sometimes that's 904 00:32:09,430 --> 00:32:05,840 for sure 905 00:32:12,310 --> 00:32:09,440 exactly so um one of my 906 00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:12,320 readers named jennifer she she asked me 907 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:13,120 about 908 00:32:24,149 --> 00:32:22,240 make it to the show 909 00:32:26,549 --> 00:32:24,159 uh was there anything interesting that 910 00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:26,559 you think they missed 911 00:32:30,310 --> 00:32:29,039 well um this is an interesting story 912 00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:30,320 they um 913 00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:32,320 there was one episode that kind of got 914 00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:33,600 changed out 915 00:32:36,630 --> 00:32:36,399 uh initially the producers wanted to do 916 00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:36,640 an 917 00:32:45,269 --> 00:32:43,200 up in some remote parts of alaska 918 00:32:46,389 --> 00:32:45,279 and i i wasn't familiar with this of 919 00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:46,399 course not 920 00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:48,640 an area of my research but according to 921 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:50,559 research they had done 922 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,679 there allegedly are satanists and cults 923 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:55,440 that move to alaska because it's very 924 00:32:59,110 --> 00:32:56,480 remote and they 925 00:33:00,230 --> 00:32:59,120 you know can go i just stay hidden a 926 00:33:01,590 --> 00:33:00,240 little bit better and that they will 927 00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:01,600 recruit people to 928 00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:04,559 to be in these cults or um you know 929 00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:06,640 abduct people and 930 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:09,039 so you know it's pretty pretty scary 931 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:10,880 weird stuff and 932 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:12,770 but for whatever reason the um 933 00:33:16,149 --> 00:33:14,080 [Music] 934 00:33:17,669 --> 00:33:16,159 the history channel felt uncomfortable 935 00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:17,679 with the subject matter they didn't want 936 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:18,399 to do any 937 00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:20,000 episodes that had to do with anything 938 00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:22,720 with satanism or anything like that 939 00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:25,600 so ultimately they dropped that idea and 940 00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:26,960 instead they 941 00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:29,440 we did an episode on a kind of a mermaid 942 00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:31,360 type creature called the qual pollock 943 00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:33,840 kind of a native american mermaid type 944 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:34,880 thing that's been 945 00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:36,799 right off the coast which was cool that 946 00:33:43,269 --> 00:33:39,360 was a kind of a fun episode but 947 00:33:44,870 --> 00:33:43,279 um you know there was uh we were also 948 00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:44,880 on that same note i mean i was 949 00:33:48,549 --> 00:33:46,720 personally concerned if we were 950 00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:48,559 picked up for a second season which we 951 00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:50,080 weren't but uh 952 00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:51,840 if they had been talking about a second 953 00:33:54,870 --> 00:33:54,000 season just looking at the native 954 00:33:57,590 --> 00:33:54,880 american 955 00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:57,600 alaskan the inuit legends and things i 956 00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:59,039 didn't really see a lot of 957 00:34:03,350 --> 00:34:01,120 other story ideas that we didn't cover 958 00:34:05,509 --> 00:34:03,360 already you know there was 959 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:05,519 maybe a few little chris they have like 960 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:06,720 a walrus man 961 00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:10,240 and a uh there's kind of a 962 00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:12,639 a thing called the ablet which is kind 963 00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:14,240 of like a werewolf 964 00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:16,560 witch type thing but beyond that we 965 00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:17,760 pretty much 966 00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:20,639 hit all the alaskan you know creatures 967 00:34:24,149 --> 00:34:21,280 that i could 968 00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:24,159 you know find out about so yeah i didn't 969 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,119 know if there was a lot of 970 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:27,119 sustainability long term i didn't want 971 00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:28,560 to get into the 972 00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:31,679 business of making things up which there 973 00:34:35,430 --> 00:34:33,599 are other shows up in alaska that 974 00:34:36,790 --> 00:34:35,440 evidently do that so i didn't want to 975 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:36,800 you know be involved in that kind of 976 00:34:40,069 --> 00:34:38,079 thing but 977 00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:40,079 um beyond that i don't remember this is 978 00:34:43,510 --> 00:34:42,079 a funny story i don't want to go on this 979 00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:43,520 too long if you don't want me to but 980 00:34:48,149 --> 00:34:45,599 sure um when we 981 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:48,159 showed up to film in alaska and of 982 00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:49,760 course it was myself 983 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:53,200 uh my buddy jax who's a 984 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,119 private investigator yeah i've 985 00:34:57,750 --> 00:34:57,119 interviewed jax before he's a very 986 00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:57,760 interesting 987 00:35:02,230 --> 00:35:00,480 guy he is he's a man's man and then you 988 00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:02,240 got tommy who's the native 989 00:35:07,589 --> 00:35:05,599 clingit native guy and you know uh 990 00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:07,599 very down to earth very artist very cool 991 00:35:12,230 --> 00:35:09,920 guy anyways the three of us we got there 992 00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:12,240 and the producers were having us a lot 993 00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,359 of our filming 994 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:15,680 was uh basically going on these really 995 00:35:20,470 --> 00:35:18,000 long hikes through very treacherous 996 00:35:21,589 --> 00:35:20,480 places so they would they would go out 997 00:35:23,829 --> 00:35:21,599 and find these areas 998 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:23,839 that were very challenging and difficult 999 00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:26,160 steep elevations and 1000 00:35:31,270 --> 00:35:29,680 wading through waist deep snow and 1001 00:35:33,109 --> 00:35:31,280 climbing glacier all these things and 1002 00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:33,119 they would just take us out there and 1003 00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:34,000 you know we'd 1004 00:35:37,109 --> 00:35:35,440 go up there and they'd film us going up 1005 00:35:38,950 --> 00:35:37,119 there going down there through there and 1006 00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:38,960 it was very challenging and according to 1007 00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:40,480 jax it was a little bit dangerous 1008 00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:41,520 because we couldn't see where we're 1009 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:43,280 stepping and stuff and 1010 00:35:50,950 --> 00:35:46,800 um ultimately they didn't use 1011 00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:50,960 but two seconds of that in each episode 1012 00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:52,720 like we were walking miles and miles and 1013 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:54,000 miles and then when i watched the 1014 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,520 episodes they would put in like two 1015 00:35:58,230 --> 00:35:57,359 seconds of us walking through that and i 1016 00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:58,240 just thought 1017 00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:00,640 why the heck did they help us do all 1018 00:36:05,589 --> 00:36:03,440 that yeah that had to be 1019 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:05,599 all that hiking they didn't weren't 1020 00:36:08,790 --> 00:36:06,720 going to use it but 1021 00:36:10,230 --> 00:36:08,800 anyways i thought that's kind of a funny 1022 00:36:11,750 --> 00:36:10,240 story just a little peek behind the 1023 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:11,760 scenes that sometimes they're putting 1024 00:36:15,829 --> 00:36:12,640 the 1025 00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:15,839 and you know not 1026 00:36:19,430 --> 00:36:18,400 you know for really no good reason well 1027 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:19,440 i i tell you 1028 00:36:24,630 --> 00:36:22,560 you know watching that show 1029 00:36:26,870 --> 00:36:24,640 i mean i've got swords just watching 1030 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:26,880 because just imagine what you guys were 1031 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:28,320 going through 1032 00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:30,480 i mean like you said all the hiking and 1033 00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:31,920 all the stuff that was 1034 00:36:37,349 --> 00:36:34,880 going on it had to be an exhausting 1035 00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:37,359 experience 1036 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:39,520 yeah it was and you know another funny 1037 00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:40,480 story is that 1038 00:36:44,230 --> 00:36:42,960 um you know we had a lot of young 1039 00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:44,240 production assistants 1040 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:46,720 on the on the crew and the crew grew 1041 00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:47,839 every day i mean every 1042 00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:49,440 today morning we'd show up there'd be 1043 00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:51,119 like someone else new so it got to the 1044 00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:52,720 point where we just had a ridiculously 1045 00:36:58,390 --> 00:36:56,480 large group at times but um these young 1046 00:37:00,790 --> 00:36:58,400 production assistants their job is to go 1047 00:37:02,390 --> 00:37:00,800 out and get snacks and food for us 1048 00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:02,400 you know during the breaks in between 1049 00:37:07,349 --> 00:37:04,800 meals and um 1050 00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:07,359 jax was upset because you know jax was 1051 00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:09,040 kind of a pretty healthy guy and you 1052 00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:11,200 know very fitness oriented 1053 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:13,440 they would go out and get like you know 1054 00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:14,800 mini candy bars 1055 00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:17,599 like little bags of leis and things like 1056 00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:18,400 that 1057 00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:20,320 and jax would get so upset because he'd 1058 00:37:25,349 --> 00:37:22,880 be like dude we just climbed a mountain 1059 00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:25,359 we need like real food and protein that 1060 00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:26,400 was not like 1061 00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:29,920 bite-sized you know nestle's crunch bars 1062 00:37:34,069 --> 00:37:32,240 and things like that 1063 00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:34,079 so eventually they figured it out these 1064 00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:35,760 young people which you know i understand 1065 00:37:40,310 --> 00:37:36,000 we 1066 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:40,320 getting involved absolutely 1067 00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:42,880 yeah you know it was their food which i 1068 00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:44,560 but eventually they did start getting us 1069 00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:45,280 like more 1070 00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:48,000 you know protein beef jerky and fresh 1071 00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:48,720 fruit and 1072 00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:50,400 you know things like that that we could 1073 00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:55,670 pretty funny it is an interesting 1074 00:38:02,470 --> 00:37:57,920 perspective 1075 00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,480 um you know every time i i get ready to 1076 00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:04,400 talk to you 1077 00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:06,400 in an interview i start getting people 1078 00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:08,000 asking me about dogman 1079 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:09,359 and they want to know what ken thinks 1080 00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:11,359 about dog man upright canines and the 1081 00:38:15,270 --> 00:38:12,800 whole phenomena 1082 00:38:16,790 --> 00:38:15,280 so once again i'm gonna ask you and i do 1083 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:16,800 by the way do you have another doll man 1084 00:38:21,829 --> 00:38:19,200 symposium coming up this year 1085 00:38:22,470 --> 00:38:21,839 man lon honestly people ask me that a 1086 00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:22,480 lot 1087 00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:25,520 um if you've ever organized an event you 1088 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:27,440 oh i could certainly can appreciate it's 1089 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:28,560 a lot of work 1090 00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:30,800 it takes a lot of time to do a good one 1091 00:38:35,829 --> 00:38:33,359 i mean and i i have had people that have 1092 00:38:38,230 --> 00:38:35,839 offered to help me and stuff so i mean 1093 00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:38,240 but still in all i've just got so many 1094 00:38:41,349 --> 00:38:38,960 things going 1095 00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:41,359 on and it's just been hard for me to 1096 00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:42,320 find the time 1097 00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:45,440 anytime to to work on that but 1098 00:38:49,270 --> 00:38:47,200 if people will just have hope that 1099 00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:49,280 someday we will figure out a way to to 1100 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:51,119 get another one going i mean that is 1101 00:38:55,270 --> 00:38:53,680 something that's been discussed um but 1102 00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:55,280 with regard to dog man 1103 00:38:59,750 --> 00:38:57,440 um you know admittedly that's not really 1104 00:39:01,990 --> 00:38:59,760 been a main area of expertise 1105 00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:02,000 of my research not because i don't find 1106 00:39:05,349 --> 00:39:03,760 it fascinating but 1107 00:39:07,589 --> 00:39:05,359 honestly because i don't get a lot of 1108 00:39:09,349 --> 00:39:07,599 reports here in texas i think it seems 1109 00:39:11,589 --> 00:39:09,359 to be more of like a 1110 00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:11,599 you know michigan wisconsin pennsylvania 1111 00:39:15,829 --> 00:39:12,640 kentucky 1112 00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,839 yeah ohio kind of thing but um they are 1113 00:39:19,589 --> 00:39:17,760 i know they are spreading out now and 1114 00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:19,599 you know you were talking about alabama 1115 00:39:22,069 --> 00:39:21,200 right in the the those accounts at the 1116 00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:22,079 beginning of the show 1117 00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:24,960 so crazy down there it does seem to have 1118 00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:27,040 a lot i mean you have the famous we're 1119 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:29,040 going way back to 1971 you have 1120 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:30,400 something called the wolf woman of 1121 00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:31,280 mobile 1122 00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:33,520 right you know over at 10 period police 1123 00:39:38,230 --> 00:39:35,760 and newspapers received about 50 calls 1124 00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:38,240 for about a half woman half wolf 1125 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:42,000 said to prowl the suburbs of mobile i 1126 00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:43,760 mean and even recently i know i've read 1127 00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:46,000 on your site and linda godfrey's books 1128 00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:47,280 and elsewhere a lot of 1129 00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:49,280 seemingly a lot of alabama accounts i 1130 00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:51,200 mean even very recent accounts 1131 00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:52,880 and some of them very aggressive you 1132 00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:54,320 know there was a guy 1133 00:39:58,550 --> 00:39:56,000 that was fishing in his boat back in 1134 00:40:00,230 --> 00:39:58,560 2007 and he says this thing came out of 1135 00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:00,240 the water adam and he had to empty his 1136 00:40:03,829 --> 00:40:02,320 pistol into it you know 1137 00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:03,839 it didn't even faze so you have a lot of 1138 00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:05,359 those aggressive so 1139 00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:07,760 yeah i definitely think alabama has a 1140 00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:10,480 lot of potential for that type of thing 1141 00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:12,480 but you know i i tend to view the dog 1142 00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:14,240 man phenomenon as very much 1143 00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:17,040 in step with mothman i think it's a 1144 00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:18,400 similar type of thing 1145 00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:21,599 i think it's a i think it's 1146 00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:25,200 a spectral phenomenon or a manifestation 1147 00:40:28,309 --> 00:40:27,160 a physical manifestation of something 1148 00:40:30,790 --> 00:40:28,319 [Music] 1149 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:30,800 some type of energy or if some people 1150 00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:31,440 want to 1151 00:40:34,470 --> 00:40:32,720 say that it's you know an 1152 00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:34,480 interdimensional thing something that's 1153 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:36,000 coming from another reality another 1154 00:40:41,430 --> 00:40:38,400 plane of existence and somehow 1155 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:41,440 it's a construct and 1156 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:43,040 the only way you could explain that is 1157 00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:45,200 because again like the mothman there's 1158 00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:45,520 no 1159 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:51,040 basis to say that something like a dog 1160 00:40:53,990 --> 00:40:52,400 man could exist 1161 00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:54,000 now i know some dog man researchers 1162 00:40:56,950 --> 00:40:55,599 think that these things are canids that 1163 00:40:58,069 --> 00:40:56,960 have learned to walk upright on their 1164 00:40:59,990 --> 00:40:58,079 hind legs but 1165 00:41:02,309 --> 00:41:00,000 the hip structures between humans and 1166 00:41:03,910 --> 00:41:02,319 canids are so utterly different 1167 00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:03,920 and the weight distribution the way 1168 00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:05,680 canines are designed 1169 00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:07,440 i don't think that there is a way they 1170 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:09,680 could easily you know despite the fact 1171 00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:11,280 that sometimes your dog at home will get 1172 00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:12,800 up on his hind legs and hop around a 1173 00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:14,560 little bit that doesn't mean that 1174 00:41:19,589 --> 00:41:17,760 a canid could adapt to fluidly walk in a 1175 00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:19,599 bipedal motion i don't think that 1176 00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:20,640 anyways 1177 00:41:26,309 --> 00:41:23,040 um so i think these things are much like 1178 00:41:27,750 --> 00:41:26,319 the mothman they're kind of specters 1179 00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:27,760 there's also a lot of weirdness 1180 00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:29,440 associated with the dogman sightings 1181 00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:31,280 that i've heard of you know the strange 1182 00:41:35,270 --> 00:41:32,560 mists 1183 00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:35,280 and the kind of paranormal attachments 1184 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,400 that people experience 1185 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:37,839 after a sighting where they have all 1186 00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:39,359 these bad things happening and 1187 00:41:43,829 --> 00:41:40,800 poltergeist activity 1188 00:41:46,829 --> 00:41:43,839 and people become violently ill 1189 00:41:50,069 --> 00:41:46,839 um so to me it just seems like very 1190 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,079 strange uh kind of high strangeness so i 1191 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:52,079 i think these things are and you know 1192 00:41:55,190 --> 00:41:53,440 you could certainly make a case that 1193 00:41:56,950 --> 00:41:55,200 they've been around 1194 00:41:59,190 --> 00:41:56,960 you know for centuries and you know 1195 00:42:00,870 --> 00:41:59,200 looking at werewolf legends and things 1196 00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:00,880 throughout europe and elsewhere and this 1197 00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:02,640 is just the latest the dog man's just 1198 00:42:07,430 --> 00:42:04,720 the latest version right 1199 00:42:09,109 --> 00:42:07,440 um so that's that's what i think is you 1200 00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:09,119 know 1201 00:42:12,390 --> 00:42:10,640 i think i'll just kind of think along 1202 00:42:15,910 --> 00:42:12,400 the same lines i do because 1203 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:15,920 you know i um i'm beginning to believe 1204 00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:18,160 that this being is more supernatural 1205 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:19,280 than 1206 00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:22,640 uh indigenous now i mean 1207 00:42:26,069 --> 00:42:24,319 especially with some of the reports 1208 00:42:27,589 --> 00:42:26,079 we've been receiving around here you 1209 00:42:31,510 --> 00:42:27,599 know people 1210 00:42:32,470 --> 00:42:31,520 i don't know and i i have heard of other 1211 00:42:34,309 --> 00:42:32,480 sightings 1212 00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:34,319 where people would take a shot at one of 1213 00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:36,480 these things and it 1214 00:42:39,589 --> 00:42:37,920 just would go right through them even 1215 00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:39,599 though you know it looks like it's 1216 00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:42,720 a solid being yeah right 1217 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:45,839 that kind of stuff yeah and the shrouded 1218 00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:46,480 mists 1219 00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:48,400 and the you know the the famous case 1220 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:50,160 that linda documented where one of these 1221 00:42:54,230 --> 00:42:50,960 things 1222 00:42:56,150 --> 00:42:54,240 spoke in an inhuman voice you know to 1223 00:42:58,390 --> 00:42:56,160 gaidara or whatever i mean there's a lot 1224 00:43:00,230 --> 00:42:58,400 of just weird aspects to the to the dog 1225 00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:00,240 man phenomenon and you know what lord 1226 00:43:03,750 --> 00:43:02,720 i've gotten the the accounts that i have 1227 00:43:05,190 --> 00:43:03,760 gotten lately where people have 1228 00:43:06,390 --> 00:43:05,200 approached me at different events and 1229 00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:06,400 told me i've had 1230 00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:09,520 actually over the last year at least 1231 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:10,160 three 1232 00:43:14,069 --> 00:43:12,240 people tell me that they had have had 1233 00:43:16,470 --> 00:43:14,079 dogman sightings 1234 00:43:17,750 --> 00:43:16,480 but in each case the thing was looking 1235 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:17,760 in the window at them 1236 00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:19,200 which is a really creepy thing but it 1237 00:43:21,910 --> 00:43:20,400 seems like a lot of people will have 1238 00:43:23,589 --> 00:43:21,920 that experience where 1239 00:43:25,349 --> 00:43:23,599 they look out their window and they see 1240 00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:25,359 this dog man 1241 00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:28,480 creature kind of sneering at them from 1242 00:43:33,030 --> 00:43:30,000 outside 1243 00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:33,040 and so that's that's very weird and 1244 00:43:37,030 --> 00:43:34,880 creepy but i have heard that from 1245 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:37,040 multiple different unrelated sources 1246 00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:39,440 that that's what they experienced 1247 00:43:42,150 --> 00:43:40,880 do you find that a lot too are there a 1248 00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:42,160 lot of accounts of them peeking in 1249 00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:43,520 people's windows and just 1250 00:43:46,550 --> 00:43:45,760 scaring the bejesus out of people i have 1251 00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:46,560 received 1252 00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:50,240 two reports over the years where 1253 00:43:53,990 --> 00:43:53,040 one was seen looking through a window 1254 00:43:56,790 --> 00:43:54,000 and the other 1255 00:43:57,750 --> 00:43:56,800 was seen while the witness was looking 1256 00:44:01,270 --> 00:43:57,760 out the window 1257 00:44:04,390 --> 00:44:01,280 and it was standing there looking at it 1258 00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:04,400 so uh it does seem 1259 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:06,480 that some of these things are curious 1260 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:08,319 but it also seems that it has some 1261 00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:09,359 ability 1262 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:12,720 to know when people are looking at it um 1263 00:44:16,309 --> 00:44:14,880 that's interesting yeah and you know 1264 00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:16,319 we've been hearing that you know i 1265 00:44:19,109 --> 00:44:18,160 talked to stan gordon about this a while 1266 00:44:21,829 --> 00:44:19,119 back 1267 00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:21,839 we have been we have noticed here in 1268 00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:23,440 pennsylvania 1269 00:44:32,550 --> 00:44:27,680 from several you know witnesses that 1270 00:44:36,309 --> 00:44:32,560 when they see a bigfoot like creature 1271 00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:36,319 that when the creature actually 1272 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:39,760 realizes that it's being seen that it's 1273 00:44:43,109 --> 00:44:41,680 you know that it's visible to the 1274 00:44:45,990 --> 00:44:43,119 witness they 1275 00:44:48,829 --> 00:44:46,000 seem to react like they can't believe it 1276 00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:48,839 or they're shocked or surprised 1277 00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:52,000 um so now i don't know what that's all 1278 00:44:58,069 --> 00:44:52,960 about but 1279 00:45:02,550 --> 00:45:00,790 yeah but you know it's it's again it's 1280 00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:02,560 always interesting when you find these 1281 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:04,480 patterns or 1282 00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:06,480 seeming pat seemingly you know there are 1283 00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:08,400 these patterns with with some of these 1284 00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:11,680 different types of creatures um 1285 00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:13,520 and you know i think ultimately when we 1286 00:45:18,309 --> 00:45:15,599 at the dogman symposium we did have kind 1287 00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:18,319 of an open discussion at the end 1288 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:20,560 you know a lot of people were there um i 1289 00:45:23,190 --> 00:45:22,079 think you at the time 1290 00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:23,200 you may have been dealing with some 1291 00:45:25,349 --> 00:45:24,720 things and couldn't make it yeah i could 1292 00:45:27,829 --> 00:45:25,359 make it 1293 00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:27,839 yeah but between like linda and stan 1294 00:45:30,710 --> 00:45:28,720 gordon and 1295 00:45:32,309 --> 00:45:30,720 you know me and nick redfern david 1296 00:45:33,670 --> 00:45:32,319 weather all this kind of john tenney i 1297 00:45:34,950 --> 00:45:33,680 was kind of putting our heads together 1298 00:45:35,990 --> 00:45:34,960 we you know kind of all were in 1299 00:45:39,309 --> 00:45:36,000 agreement that 1300 00:45:42,069 --> 00:45:39,319 the dog man was some type of spectral 1301 00:45:44,150 --> 00:45:42,079 manifestation and of course the word 1302 00:45:47,670 --> 00:45:44,160 tulpa came up a lot because 1303 00:45:49,430 --> 00:45:47,680 you know one of the one of the um 1304 00:45:51,030 --> 00:45:49,440 inferences you can draw from the dogman 1305 00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:51,040 phenomenon is that 1306 00:45:55,990 --> 00:45:53,680 you know back in like the late 1980s 1307 00:45:57,990 --> 00:45:56,000 early 1990 when the bister bray road 1308 00:45:59,829 --> 00:45:58,000 first kind of made the scene 1309 00:46:02,150 --> 00:45:59,839 that's when it seemed like the dog man 1310 00:46:04,710 --> 00:46:02,160 sightings began to trickle in 1311 00:46:06,790 --> 00:46:04,720 and i mean now it's a flood i mean 1312 00:46:08,230 --> 00:46:06,800 there's so many sightings that are just 1313 00:46:10,470 --> 00:46:08,240 and they're popping up everywhere right 1314 00:46:13,030 --> 00:46:10,480 not only in north america but i have 1315 00:46:14,790 --> 00:46:13,040 contacts in south america australia 1316 00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:14,800 south africa that are all sending me 1317 00:46:19,190 --> 00:46:15,680 sightings 1318 00:46:22,309 --> 00:46:19,200 so it would almost seem peripherally 1319 00:46:23,589 --> 00:46:22,319 like we're giving this thing life by you 1320 00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:23,599 know 1321 00:46:26,829 --> 00:46:25,200 it's becoming grain kind of in the 1322 00:46:28,069 --> 00:46:26,839 public consciousness that these things 1323 00:46:29,990 --> 00:46:28,079 exist 1324 00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:30,000 and it's like we're kind of giving them 1325 00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:31,760 life so to speak because you know 1326 00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:33,440 they're they're proliferating and 1327 00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:34,800 popping up everywhere i don't know i 1328 00:46:38,069 --> 00:46:35,440 mean that's 1329 00:46:41,670 --> 00:46:38,079 you know that's kind of wild speculation 1330 00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:41,680 but uh i think that's a very strong 1331 00:46:45,829 --> 00:46:44,000 piece of evidence to illustrate that the 1332 00:46:47,910 --> 00:46:45,839 phenomenon is related to us 1333 00:46:49,270 --> 00:46:47,920 that we are somehow able to project 1334 00:46:52,309 --> 00:46:49,280 these things or 1335 00:46:55,109 --> 00:46:52,319 perhaps even open up the doorway if you 1336 00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:55,119 will and allow them into our reality 1337 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:57,599 we had a uh we had a report come in 1338 00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:00,319 about a month month and a half ago 1339 00:47:06,230 --> 00:47:03,920 uh my colleague butch witkowski 1340 00:47:07,910 --> 00:47:06,240 received the report and he went up there 1341 00:47:08,950 --> 00:47:07,920 and checked it was in center county 1342 00:47:11,270 --> 00:47:08,960 pennsylvania 1343 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:11,280 he actually went up the next day and and 1344 00:47:13,990 --> 00:47:12,240 uh 1345 00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:14,000 talked to the witnesses but it was three 1346 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:15,520 couples 1347 00:47:20,150 --> 00:47:18,560 and they were in rothrock state park and 1348 00:47:24,230 --> 00:47:20,160 they were walking on a trail 1349 00:47:24,950 --> 00:47:24,240 it was um they had just walked by this 1350 00:47:27,589 --> 00:47:24,960 area 1351 00:47:28,950 --> 00:47:27,599 and they had to look back and this 1352 00:47:35,589 --> 00:47:28,960 upright canine 1353 00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:35,599 out of out of the bushes 1354 00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:38,240 onto the trail and stepped forward like 1355 00:47:41,990 --> 00:47:39,440 it was 1356 00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:42,000 you know and it actually reacted like 1357 00:47:46,470 --> 00:47:42,960 that after 1358 00:47:48,309 --> 00:47:46,480 one of the women screamed 1359 00:47:50,309 --> 00:47:48,319 so they all fought i mean all three 1360 00:47:53,109 --> 00:47:50,319 couples saw this thing 1361 00:47:54,870 --> 00:47:53,119 and uh they were quite freaked out they 1362 00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:54,880 got a hold of butch quickly 1363 00:48:00,309 --> 00:47:58,240 and he went up there next day and 1364 00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:00,319 he's convinced they saw something he 1365 00:48:04,069 --> 00:48:02,160 really is and uh 1366 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:04,079 you know that's the kind of stuff we've 1367 00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:06,000 been getting now that report 1368 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:08,160 seemed a bit more aggressive than what 1369 00:48:12,150 --> 00:48:10,160 we received before 1370 00:48:14,870 --> 00:48:12,160 but you know i'm i'm not you know in a 1371 00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:14,880 way i i don't want to discount it being 1372 00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:17,920 an actual being that is on you know 1373 00:48:24,069 --> 00:48:21,200 on this earth plane but like you said 1374 00:48:27,270 --> 00:48:24,079 it's almost impossible to believe 1375 00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:27,280 that unless it's some type of 1376 00:48:31,349 --> 00:48:30,000 immense mutation that anything like that 1377 00:48:34,549 --> 00:48:31,359 could be 1378 00:48:37,349 --> 00:48:34,559 you know actually you know living or 1379 00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:37,359 indigenous to the area 1380 00:48:41,109 --> 00:48:39,280 yeah and you know moreover again you 1381 00:48:42,470 --> 00:48:41,119 know with animals the study of animals 1382 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:42,480 we always look at physical 1383 00:48:44,710 --> 00:48:43,920 characteristics but we also look at 1384 00:48:48,230 --> 00:48:44,720 behaviors 1385 00:48:49,910 --> 00:48:48,240 and animals almost all animals even 1386 00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:49,920 animals that we would deem to be quote 1387 00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:52,480 unquote big and scary like bears and big 1388 00:48:55,750 --> 00:48:53,920 cats and things 1389 00:48:58,309 --> 00:48:55,760 all of those animals are basically 1390 00:48:58,950 --> 00:48:58,319 pretty shy and try to avoid contact with 1391 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:58,960 human 1392 00:49:02,230 --> 00:49:00,880 absolutely unless they're cornered or 1393 00:49:04,950 --> 00:49:02,240 they're protecting their young 1394 00:49:07,430 --> 00:49:04,960 defending a nest or something you know 1395 00:49:09,430 --> 00:49:07,440 they don't want any contact with us 1396 00:49:10,790 --> 00:49:09,440 whereas the dog man you know as we 1397 00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:10,800 talked about you know it's peeking in 1398 00:49:14,710 --> 00:49:12,800 people's windows it's chasing people 1399 00:49:17,510 --> 00:49:14,720 it's chasing cars i mean those 1400 00:49:18,710 --> 00:49:17,520 those are not natural behaviors for any 1401 00:49:23,109 --> 00:49:18,720 animal i just 1402 00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:23,119 it seems so unnatural from top to bottom 1403 00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:28,230 it does seem for the most part all the 1404 00:49:33,510 --> 00:49:30,480 reports that we've received around here 1405 00:49:37,349 --> 00:49:33,520 they stand the ground you know they um 1406 00:49:39,270 --> 00:49:37,359 they they very rarely run off and uh 1407 00:49:42,230 --> 00:49:39,280 the fact that they do that i think kind 1408 00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:42,240 of shocks people much more than anything 1409 00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:45,359 so yeah and that is not a characteristic 1410 00:49:49,270 --> 00:49:46,240 of these 1411 00:49:52,309 --> 00:49:49,280 these creatures i mean an actual 1412 00:49:54,309 --> 00:49:52,319 wolf is not just gonna stand there 1413 00:49:56,309 --> 00:49:54,319 no it's gonna it's gonna retreat it's 1414 00:49:57,910 --> 00:49:56,319 gonna try it it would rather avoid 1415 00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:57,920 we're big and scary to most things in 1416 00:50:00,630 --> 00:49:59,520 the woods and i mean speaking of big and 1417 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:00,640 scary that's 1418 00:50:03,910 --> 00:50:02,559 you know that's one of the stronger 1419 00:50:05,670 --> 00:50:03,920 pieces of evidence i think 1420 00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:05,680 with regard to bigfoot and i know some 1421 00:50:09,910 --> 00:50:07,680 people view bigfoot as having a 1422 00:50:12,309 --> 00:50:09,920 supernatural element but i think they're 1423 00:50:13,589 --> 00:50:12,319 just undiscovered hominids or relic 1424 00:50:15,990 --> 00:50:13,599 hominids 1425 00:50:17,430 --> 00:50:16,000 and almost all the bigfoot sightings 1426 00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:17,440 it's pretty rare that they stand the 1427 00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:18,800 ground they typically just 1428 00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:21,280 retreat or move back into the woods and 1429 00:50:25,030 --> 00:50:22,960 i mean look no farther than 1430 00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:25,040 the famous patterson gimlin film i mean 1431 00:50:27,109 --> 00:50:26,720 you see guys right up on it what does it 1432 00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:27,119 do 1433 00:50:31,430 --> 00:50:29,119 it walks off it looks over its shoulder 1434 00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:31,440 they're not following me or whatever 1435 00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:33,040 it doesn't want any contact with the 1436 00:50:37,510 --> 00:50:34,480 humans and i think that's more of a 1437 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:37,520 natural response for any animal 1438 00:50:40,790 --> 00:50:39,119 yeah and and by the way you're going to 1439 00:50:43,030 --> 00:50:40,800 be appearing at the pennsylvania 1440 00:50:44,230 --> 00:50:43,040 uh bigfoot camping adventure again this 1441 00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:44,240 month 1442 00:50:46,910 --> 00:50:46,319 and maybe you now finally get to be able 1443 00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:46,920 to meet 1444 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:48,800 [Laughter] 1445 00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:50,800 uh that would be great man yeah had some 1446 00:50:53,349 --> 00:50:52,480 chances but it's always tough to get 1447 00:50:54,549 --> 00:50:53,359 together but 1448 00:50:56,790 --> 00:50:54,559 i'm really looking forward to that that 1449 00:50:58,630 --> 00:50:56,800 should be a good time uh so 1450 00:51:01,190 --> 00:50:58,640 what are your thoughts on the future 1451 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:01,200 bigfoot research and investigations 1452 00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:03,839 are we ever going to come up with any 1453 00:51:09,190 --> 00:51:05,760 type of definitive evidence 1454 00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:09,200 that these beings do exist 1455 00:51:15,270 --> 00:51:12,640 um well i'm optimistic i i i'm 90 1456 00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:15,280 percent convinced they do exist 1457 00:51:21,589 --> 00:51:18,880 i'm 95 convinced that they are 1458 00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:21,599 flesh and blood you know animals or 1459 00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:22,880 hominids 1460 00:51:26,390 --> 00:51:24,720 um they're i think they're probably 1461 00:51:28,710 --> 00:51:26,400 getting rarer because 1462 00:51:30,549 --> 00:51:28,720 like most like a lot of species as their 1463 00:51:33,750 --> 00:51:30,559 habitat is destroyed and 1464 00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:33,760 deforestation but the way i always 1465 00:51:38,950 --> 00:51:35,760 explain it to people is i think that 1466 00:51:39,829 --> 00:51:38,960 bigfoot has a number of behavioral 1467 00:51:41,829 --> 00:51:39,839 patterns that 1468 00:51:43,270 --> 00:51:41,839 are kind of geared towards avoid 1469 00:51:45,589 --> 00:51:43,280 competition with humans 1470 00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:45,599 they specifically avoid us they go in 1471 00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:47,200 the deepest parts of the wilderness we 1472 00:51:51,430 --> 00:51:49,040 don't typically go 1473 00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:51,440 they're nocturnal they're nomadic and 1474 00:51:56,470 --> 00:51:53,520 when they sense is coming they move off 1475 00:51:57,190 --> 00:51:56,480 quickly or disappear into the woods and 1476 00:52:00,549 --> 00:51:57,200 so i mean 1477 00:52:02,630 --> 00:52:00,559 you know but ultimately there have to be 1478 00:52:04,230 --> 00:52:02,640 in order for bigfoot to be a relic 1479 00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:04,240 hominid and who have survived so long 1480 00:52:08,549 --> 00:52:06,400 there have to be at least 1481 00:52:10,309 --> 00:52:08,559 thousands of them in north america and 1482 00:52:12,549 --> 00:52:10,319 you know probably low thousands but you 1483 00:52:14,950 --> 00:52:12,559 can take a number anywhere between 1500 1484 00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:14,960 and a few thousand it's all speculation 1485 00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:16,880 so there's a lot there are enough of 1486 00:52:19,829 --> 00:52:18,000 them to say 1487 00:52:21,270 --> 00:52:19,839 that you know at some point it seems 1488 00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:21,280 like we would get some definitive 1489 00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:22,480 evidence 1490 00:52:27,589 --> 00:52:25,200 now i'm always encouraging people to go 1491 00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:27,599 out and look for physical remains 1492 00:52:30,790 --> 00:52:29,200 even though physical remains can be hard 1493 00:52:33,750 --> 00:52:30,800 to find in the woods 1494 00:52:35,510 --> 00:52:33,760 but it's all about where you look if 1495 00:52:36,870 --> 00:52:35,520 someone could for example if someone can 1496 00:52:39,750 --> 00:52:36,880 a researcher can safely 1497 00:52:41,750 --> 00:52:39,760 access safely illegally access a cave 1498 00:52:43,910 --> 00:52:41,760 system 1499 00:52:45,670 --> 00:52:43,920 i mean a lot of remarkable disc hominid 1500 00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:45,680 discoveries have been made in caves over 1501 00:52:53,190 --> 00:52:50,160 recent years homogenous the denisovans 1502 00:52:54,069 --> 00:52:53,200 so that's where hominid fossils will you 1503 00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:54,079 know 1504 00:53:02,150 --> 00:52:59,760 if you if you found a 1505 00:53:03,910 --> 00:53:02,160 hominid femur somewhere in utah in a 1506 00:53:05,270 --> 00:53:03,920 cave even if we're thousands of years 1507 00:53:06,950 --> 00:53:05,280 old that would be pretty compelling 1508 00:53:08,950 --> 00:53:06,960 evidence that bigfoot's real because at 1509 00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:08,960 least it would put hominids 1510 00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:10,800 archaic accommodates in north america at 1511 00:53:15,030 --> 00:53:12,160 that time right 1512 00:53:16,549 --> 00:53:15,040 um photographic evidence i think is 1513 00:53:17,430 --> 00:53:16,559 going to be a challenge from here on out 1514 00:53:20,150 --> 00:53:17,440 because 1515 00:53:21,030 --> 00:53:20,160 you know it's just so hard or so easy 1516 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:21,040 i'm sorry 1517 00:53:24,470 --> 00:53:23,680 so easy for people these days to fake 1518 00:53:27,430 --> 00:53:24,480 fabricate 1519 00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:27,440 doctor photographic evidence and i think 1520 00:53:31,030 --> 00:53:29,200 you know no matter how good a photo was 1521 00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:31,040 of an alleged bigfoot it would always be 1522 00:53:34,790 --> 00:53:32,720 in dispute because 1523 00:53:37,430 --> 00:53:34,800 you know it theoretically could have 1524 00:53:39,510 --> 00:53:37,440 been fabricated or manufactured 1525 00:53:40,790 --> 00:53:39,520 i think dna evidence and technology in 1526 00:53:43,109 --> 00:53:40,800 that in that realm is 1527 00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:43,119 is pretty exciting um you know you have 1528 00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:45,920 the e-dna now where they can literally 1529 00:53:49,589 --> 00:53:48,319 you know take a water sample and and you 1530 00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:49,599 know map 1531 00:53:53,670 --> 00:53:51,040 different animals that have drunk out of 1532 00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:53,680 that water and left traces behind or 1533 00:54:00,309 --> 00:53:57,760 yeah that's pretty interesting in itself 1534 00:54:02,870 --> 00:54:00,319 the only challenge with that is is that 1535 00:54:03,910 --> 00:54:02,880 dna is a comparative science where you 1536 00:54:06,390 --> 00:54:03,920 you know they draw 1537 00:54:08,309 --> 00:54:06,400 databases where they have you know 1538 00:54:11,589 --> 00:54:08,319 thousands of types of different 1539 00:54:13,109 --> 00:54:11,599 dna strains or genomes and 1540 00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:13,119 you know if you found something new and 1541 00:54:16,630 --> 00:54:14,640 unknown it wouldn't 1542 00:54:18,069 --> 00:54:16,640 pop out in big red letters and say 1543 00:54:20,069 --> 00:54:18,079 bigfoot 1544 00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:20,079 probably you would get a number of 1545 00:54:25,910 --> 00:54:22,480 hominid type markers it might read 1546 00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:25,920 human gorilla chimp human orangutan 1547 00:54:28,870 --> 00:54:27,040 gorilla you know 1548 00:54:30,870 --> 00:54:28,880 it would give you a lot of vomited kind 1549 00:54:34,630 --> 00:54:30,880 of hits or or matches 1550 00:54:35,910 --> 00:54:34,640 but but i think with the technology 1551 00:54:37,349 --> 00:54:35,920 getting better 1552 00:54:38,789 --> 00:54:37,359 and i think with a lot of dedicated 1553 00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:38,799 researchers out there in the field 1554 00:54:41,190 --> 00:54:40,720 looking you know i'm optimistic ron that 1555 00:54:42,950 --> 00:54:41,200 that 1556 00:54:44,950 --> 00:54:42,960 at some point we will get some physical 1557 00:54:46,549 --> 00:54:44,960 evidence 1558 00:54:48,230 --> 00:54:46,559 well at least i hope so you know my i 1559 00:54:50,230 --> 00:54:48,240 had my sighting back in 1560 00:54:52,069 --> 00:54:50,240 oh 38 years ago it doesn't seem that 1561 00:54:53,910 --> 00:54:52,079 long ago uh i 1562 00:54:55,190 --> 00:54:53,920 i know there's something out there i 1563 00:54:58,470 --> 00:54:55,200 have lots of questions 1564 00:55:01,670 --> 00:54:58,480 as well uh you know 1565 00:55:01,990 --> 00:55:01,680 i know what i saw i just you know but 1566 00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:02,000 it's 1567 00:55:07,030 --> 00:55:05,119 uh the i guess the big question is 1568 00:55:08,549 --> 00:55:07,040 what exactly are these things there's 1569 00:55:11,349 --> 00:55:08,559 something out there yeah 1570 00:55:11,990 --> 00:55:11,359 yeah what are they and where are they 1571 00:55:15,430 --> 00:55:12,000 yeah 1572 00:55:18,829 --> 00:55:15,440 absolutely yep 1573 00:55:21,589 --> 00:55:18,839 so um you know you you've written four 1574 00:55:24,549 --> 00:55:21,599 books and uh 1575 00:55:25,829 --> 00:55:24,559 which well i read them all but the great 1576 00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:25,839 books uh 1577 00:55:29,109 --> 00:55:28,400 your encounters with flying humanoids 1578 00:55:33,829 --> 00:55:29,119 and uh 1579 00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:33,839 imaginary menagerie of mysterious 1580 00:55:37,510 --> 00:55:35,920 i i've actually read both i've read them 1581 00:55:39,109 --> 00:55:37,520 both twice they're very good they're 1582 00:55:42,549 --> 00:55:39,119 great for reference 1583 00:55:44,870 --> 00:55:42,559 do you have a book in the works 1584 00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:44,880 yeah i do and you know as before we move 1585 00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:46,240 on to that i just want to 1586 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:48,160 you know tip my hat to you and thank you 1587 00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:50,000 because you did contribute to 1588 00:55:54,150 --> 00:55:52,559 my last book quite a bit you said sent 1589 00:55:55,750 --> 00:55:54,160 me some great uh 1590 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,760 accounts and things that i was able to 1591 00:56:00,630 --> 00:55:57,599 follow up on and so those were some 1592 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:00,640 some pretty cool uh subjects 1593 00:56:04,789 --> 00:56:02,400 i am working on a new book it's 1594 00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:04,799 exclusively a bigfoot book 1595 00:56:08,309 --> 00:56:07,920 um i was never sure until now whether i 1596 00:56:11,190 --> 00:56:08,319 would 1597 00:56:12,470 --> 00:56:11,200 have enough to offer to put in a bigfoot 1598 00:56:14,470 --> 00:56:12,480 book because there are so 1599 00:56:15,990 --> 00:56:14,480 many excellent bigfoot books out there 1600 00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:16,000 and many of them written by 1601 00:56:20,950 --> 00:56:18,880 my colleagues and you know the the 1602 00:56:23,510 --> 00:56:20,960 pioneers of the field 1603 00:56:24,309 --> 00:56:23,520 but i think it's a good time to kind of 1604 00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:24,319 refresh 1605 00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:26,640 and kind of look back and look forward 1606 00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:29,200 at the same time 1607 00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:31,599 there are a lot of there's a lot of new 1608 00:56:35,670 --> 00:56:33,440 blood in the bigfoot field 1609 00:56:36,630 --> 00:56:35,680 uh a lot of them coming in in recent 1610 00:56:38,470 --> 00:56:36,640 years 1611 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:38,480 and i'm finding that a lot of them don't 1612 00:56:44,069 --> 00:56:40,960 have the foundational 1613 00:56:47,349 --> 00:56:44,079 knowledge in terms of the history 1614 00:56:49,030 --> 00:56:47,359 what biology has been discerned by real 1615 00:56:51,030 --> 00:56:49,040 academics through different scientific 1616 00:56:52,309 --> 00:56:51,040 studies and 1617 00:56:55,589 --> 00:56:52,319 of course i'll talk about my own 1618 00:56:57,589 --> 00:56:55,599 research and experiences 1619 00:56:59,510 --> 00:56:57,599 i'm going to talk about little foot 1620 00:57:01,750 --> 00:56:59,520 because i do get a lot of accounts just 1621 00:57:03,829 --> 00:57:01,760 as many accounts of the little hairy 1622 00:57:05,750 --> 00:57:03,839 man-like creatures as opposed to bigfoot 1623 00:57:07,910 --> 00:57:05,760 so there's there seem to be at least 1624 00:57:10,789 --> 00:57:07,920 at least one type that's very small and 1625 00:57:12,150 --> 00:57:10,799 they're not talked about very often 1626 00:57:13,349 --> 00:57:12,160 so yeah there's gonna be a lot of cool 1627 00:57:14,789 --> 00:57:13,359 angles but that's what i'm working on 1628 00:57:17,910 --> 00:57:14,799 now is the new bigfoot book 1629 00:57:19,589 --> 00:57:17,920 it'll probably be ready later this year 1630 00:57:22,150 --> 00:57:19,599 i'm shooting for like september 1631 00:57:24,309 --> 00:57:22,160 so i'm about halfway done and i'm moving 1632 00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:24,319 through it as quick as i can 1633 00:57:30,710 --> 00:57:28,160 great i look forward to reading that um 1634 00:57:33,670 --> 00:57:30,720 now you you've investigated almost every 1635 00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:33,680 unexplained anthony faces planet 1636 00:57:37,109 --> 00:57:35,440 what's your favorite critic being a 1637 00:57:38,950 --> 00:57:37,119 phenomena 1638 00:57:40,470 --> 00:57:38,960 no it's always it's always such a tough 1639 00:57:43,589 --> 00:57:40,480 question a lot of people ask me that 1640 00:57:44,710 --> 00:57:43,599 um a lot but you know i have so many 1641 00:57:47,190 --> 00:57:44,720 favorites 1642 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:47,200 um but of course i'm indebitively linked 1643 00:57:51,829 --> 00:57:48,720 to the 1644 00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:51,839 thunderbird flying encrypted 1645 00:57:56,150 --> 00:57:54,559 world not just mothman but i've 1646 00:57:57,589 -->
