shoot it shoot it he ends up shooting 220 00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:11,440 into it 221 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,520 it does not react the creature does not 222 00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:15,360 reacted he said it sounded like he was 223 00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,960 firing into a pond or something it was 224 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:18,639 like made a liquid kind of plopping 225 00:08:22,150 -->

229 00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,720 disappeared the domed object 230 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,879 so it didn't fly away didn't take off 231 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,800 and and go up to the stars 232 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,719 it just blinked out just disappeared it 233 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:34,800 wasn't there anymore 234 00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,880 they get uh scared rightfully so and 235

different because they 263 00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,720 all these different sources seem to have 264 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,959 different information in it so to my 265 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:36,720 knowledge this is the the most complete 266 00:09:41,030 --> 00:09:37,360 account in 267 00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,040 in one place um but in any case the 268 00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:43,120 the witness and the cop returned to the 269 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,720 area the cops said there was a 270 00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,720 a circle in the field that was still 271 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:48,160 glowing where the object was it was 272 00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:50,399 bright enough to read a newspaper by 273 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:53,279 uh they saw the creature again they've 274 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:53,680 this 275 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:56,000 he fired on it again kowalczyk did and 276 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:57,519 this time the creature charged them and 277 00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:57,920 was 278 00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:01,519 the cop car 279 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,959 back to the farmhouse i think stan 280 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:04,959 gordon finally shows up 281 00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:07,360 uh they go back up to the field again 282 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,480 and 283 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:10,399 the witness enters this kind of 284 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:12,720 possessed animalistic state where he's 285 00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:13,600 running around 286 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:15,680 and and uttering these like inhuman 287 00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:17,120 cries they were saying and his own 288 00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:18,079 father described 289 00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:20,240 it as as he thought his son was 290 00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:21,200 possessed 291 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,360 by the bigfoot creatures which is a very 292 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:24,720 interesting turn of phrase 293 00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,480 i think um he finally like passes out or 294 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,680 falls down or something they have to 295 00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:31,440 basically help him from the field 296 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:32,959 they hand him his glasses which had 297 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,360 fallen off and not only does he not 298 00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:37,120 recognize his glasses anymore he says i 299 00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:39,279 don't need them i don't need those 300 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:42,079 so uh you know was was his eyesight 301 00:10:45,910 --> 00:10:43,839 somehow healed or was he in some kind of 302 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,920 trance state at this point it's it's 303 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,120 unclear 304 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:49,519 but uh when he was running around 305 00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:50,160 basically 306 00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:52,240 you know in this animalistic state he 307 00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,519 had a vision 308 00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:55,519 of this grim reaper-like figure that 309 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:56,720 came to him and 310 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:59,600 much like ufo contact these he was given 311 00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:00,399 you know

mankind straightens up 315 00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:06,240 something like this 316 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:09,680 um after the case i i mean after the 317 00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:11,760 the sighting about two weeks later these 318 00:11:16,069 --> 00:11:13,680 two men show up at this place 319 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:16,079 they are one of them is dressed in like 320 00:11:18,630 --> 00:11:17,760 an air

--> 00:11:24,399 that they were with stan gordon and 325 00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:25,200 asked to 326 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:27,760 hypnotize kowalczyk and they they do 327 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,800 hypnotize them 328 00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:31,519 years later stan came back and said to 329 00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:33,040 him to quote 330 00:11:36,949 --> 00:11:34,959 uh we'd like to hypnotize you

the story about 334 00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:41,120 these these two guys showing up and 335 00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:42,320 hypnotizing 336 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:44,079 and and again they either they either 337 00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:45,920 suggested uh they 338 00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:48,160 they you know were or directly stated 339 00:11:52,069 --> 00:11:49,600 they were with stan gordon so 340 00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:52,079 you know kind of men in black sort of 341 00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:53,440 weirdness they weren't met in black but 342 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:54,399 they kind of 343 00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,279 acted like it uh and kowalczyk for the 344 00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:59,200 rest of his life was was deeply affected 345 00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:00,399 by this he had 346 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:03,200 different psy experiences he he had 347 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,160 predictions of 348 00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:06,480 of tragic events i think he he predicted 349 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,399 a an airplane crash 350 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:10,720 uh all these you know weird future 351 00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:11,680 predictions and 352 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:14,240 and psychic events and so forth and was 353 00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,920 actually quite troubled by it because 354 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:17,279 he didn't believe in the paranormal at 355 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:18,959 all until this happened 356 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,720 so it's it's a really incredible case 357 00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,399 and i've i've left out some deep 358 00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:24,720 other details like the sounds that that 359 00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,560 they heard was like crying babies and 360 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:28,240 smells like burning rubber and stuff all 361 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:28,720 these 362 00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:31,040 other weird things just associated with 363 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:32,320 these accounts it's all balled up in 364 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,519 this one case 365 00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:35,519 uh but very very strange and and 366 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:37,760 wonderful case 367 00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:40,240 well you know fayette county in the 368 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:42,000 chestnut ridge that whole 369 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,399 area around there i mean of course 370 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:46,399 during the 73 flat 371 00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:49,200 with the ufos and of course his 372 00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:50,079 subsequent 373 00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:55,200 other ufo and possible bigfoot activity 374 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:58,079 and you know you talk about these um 375 00:13:01,750 --> 00:12:59,760 bulletproof 376 00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:01,760 bigfoot i mean this is something that 377 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,240 seems to happen up there a lot 378 00:13:08,629 --> 00:13:07,120 people that'll take a shot at it and it 379 00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:08,639 either just goes through 380 00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:12,000 through it or it just takes a big flash 381 00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:13,680 and thing disappears 382 00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:16,079 or or they don't react at all yeah yeah 383 00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:17,440 josh did a lot of work with that he can 384 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,079 speak to 385 00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:20,959 to that yeah i've grown really tired of 386 00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:22,480 of some of the explanations that people 387 00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:24,399 offer because i mean 388 00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:26,800 yes it's true that you can't taken down 389 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,839 an elephant 390 00:13:31,430 --> 00:13:29,600 with you know a regular powered rifle 391 00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:31,440 and you it's unlikely that you'll take 392 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:33,200 down a grizzly bear with a handgun 393 00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:37,040 but you can and you know you can take 394 00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:38,399 down a grizzly bear with a handgun in 395 00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:39,600 the right places and 396 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:42,800 uh and even you know when shot these 397 00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:44,560 animals will often react but sometimes 398 00:13:47,590 --> 00:13:46,399 these bigfoot don't even react so you 399 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:47,600 know the two things that people 400 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:50,560 say is they say well you know either a 401 00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,760 um 402 00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:53,839 the bigfoot has a you know subdermal 403 00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:55,279 layer of fat that's thick enough to 404 00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:56,639 protect it well that could be the case 405 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:58,160 but again with high powered rifles you 406 00:14:03,189 --> 00:13:59,839 should see some sort of reaction 407 00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:03,199 uh there's a video from 2018 i believe 408 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,920 where a grizzly bear hit with uh bird 409 00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:07,360 shot actually does like a a 410 00:14:11,509 --> 00:14:10,160 360 spin because it reacts from it and 411 00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:11,519 then uh the other the other thing people 412 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,360 say is well bigfoot skin must be thick 413 00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:14,880 but if you look at 414 00:14:20,629 --> 00:14:18,320 the thickness of skin on primates skin 415 00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,639 tends to be the thinnest where you have 416 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:22,000 a covering of hair you know anybody 417 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:23,440 who's ever nicked their scalp can tell 418 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:24,880 you this is definitely the case 419 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:26,800 so it's the hairless parts of primates 420 00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:28,320 that tend to have thicker skin so if 421 00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:29,680 bigfoot is covered in hair 422 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,120 you'd think that it would have you know 423 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:33,600 thinner skin so what becomes apparent is 424 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:34,720 as you look through a lot of this 425 00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:36,959 literature about you know 426 00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:39,760 archetypal monsters and and things like 427 00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:41,839 that is that this idea of bulletproof 428 00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:44,000 entities has been around for a long time 429 00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:45,199 and it might even be sort of an 430 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:46,959 expression of that i mean there are 431 00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:48,480 stories that you can find from 432 00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:50,399 medieval texts about which is being 433 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,600 fired in the chest 434 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:53,920 with a musket ball at blank range that 435 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:55,839 uh point-blank range that bounces off of 436 00:14:58,949 --> 00:14:56,560 them or 437 00:15:00,629 --> 00:14:58,959 you know in some witch trials supposedly 438 00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,639 uh there was a you know there are 439 00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:02,480 examples of trying to cut a witch's hair 440 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,680 with scissors and the scissors just 441 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,360 getting mangled and ruined so it seems 442 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:06,959 to me that perhaps we might be seeing 443 00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:08,399 something a little bit more 444 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:11,760 like that or you know perhaps the idea 445 00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:12,880 that these entities 446 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:15,440 are not entirely physical in the sense 447 00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:16,079 that we would 448 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:18,399 we would understand them to be in terms 449 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:19,279 of like you know 450 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,560 a chimpanzee or something well you know 451 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:24,240 now this all comes back to the big 452 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:25,199 question i mean 453 00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:27,920 so are these you know your theories on 454 00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:29,600 the existence of bigfoot is it 455 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:31,120 supernatural 456 00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:33,680 uh an idea that much of the cryptid 457 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:35,759 world still scoffs at 458 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:38,560 or is there any real evidence of these 459 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,720 being corporal creatures 460 00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:42,480 uh with some type of ability to make it 461 00:15:47,509 --> 00:15:44,320 elusive 462 00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:47,519 yeah oh sorry go ahead tim if 463 00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:51,519 if they these are natural creatures 464 00:15:56,069 --> 00:15:52,880 they are gifted with so many 465 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,079 evolutionary advantages and specialities 466 00:15:59,670 --> 00:15:58,720 as to make them superheroes they might 467 00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:59,680 as well be in the in the marvel 468 00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:01,040 cinematic universe 469 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:05,120 they're that gifted so at that point 470 00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:06,639 if they're natural creatures and they're 471 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:07,759 that good they might as well be 472 00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:09,120 paranormal because there's nothing else 473 00:16:13,829 --> 00:16:10,880 on the planet that's that gifted 474 00:16:14,629 --> 00:16:13,839 evolutionarily speaking their thick skin 475 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:14,639 and 476 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:15,519 you know to the point where they're 477 00:16:20,389 --> 00:16:18,240 bulletproof and and glowing eyes and 478 00:16:21,990 --> 00:16:20,399 the only uh higher order primate with 479 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,000 the tapitum lucidum 480 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:24,160 uh if if it's reflectivized we're 481 00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:25,199 talking about 482 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:27,600 and uh you know the ability to stay 483 00:16:32,389 --> 00:16:29,839 hidden like a farce ninja i i mean it 484 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:32,399 you know is there no end to their to 485 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,000 their special abilities 486 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:36,160 you know like i said they might as well 487 00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,759 be something from from the marvel 488 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,240 movies you know if they're that talented 489 00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:41,839 so 490 00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:43,440 you know if they are natural creatures 491 00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:45,680 and they have that many skills that 492 00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:47,360 it's paranormal that they that one 493 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:48,720 creature would have that match 494 00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:52,000 uh you know evolutionary uh advantage i 495 00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:52,560 think 496 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:54,639 and this is where i will come in and say 497 00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:55,920 and of course i know a lot of people 498 00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:57,120 listening and i'm gonna think i'm being 499 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,800 really highfalutin with this sort of an 500 00:17:02,629 --> 00:17:00,240 idea but uh 501 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:02,639 i think it's really important for people 502 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:04,000 like cryptozoologists 503 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,360 uh to sort of become more open to the 504 00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:10,000 idea that things don't necessarily 505 00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:12,079 have to be entirely physical or or 506 00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:14,640 non-physical i mean i think that the uh 507 00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:17,120 a lot of the people in in ufology have 508 00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:18,640 gotten you know used to this idea and a 509 00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:19,919 lot of the people in ghost hunting have 510 00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:20,640 gotten used to this 511 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:22,559 idea something that i'm really fond of 512 00:17:25,510 --> 00:17:23,839 saying because you know people will push 513 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:25,520 back and say oh if it's non-physical 514 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:27,600 then how come it leaves scat and drop 515 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:27,919 and 516 00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:36,080 write on 517 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:38,480 mirrors and you know can slam doors so 518 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:39,760 obviously you have the non-physical 519 00:17:42,630 --> 00:17:41,440 interacting with the physical similarly 520 00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:42,640 you know if you look at like psi 521 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:45,200 phenomena that's entirely in your mind 522 00:17:48,630 --> 00:17:47,120 but appears to be a real thing judging 523 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:48,640 from laboratory experiments of people 524 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:50,799 like dean raiden and daryl pym 525 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,520 but it's an internalized non-physical 526 00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,799 thing that can have an impact on the 527 00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:56,559 physical world so once you sort of set 528 00:17:59,669 --> 00:17:57,679 up that as being something that's a 529 00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,679 reality then it's sort of a 530 00:18:02,950 --> 00:18:01,679 for me at least it's a very short leap 531 00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:02,960 from there into the idea that maybe 532 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,880 we're dealing with something that 533 00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:06,720 sometimes can be physical and sometimes 534 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:09,120 can be non-physical 535 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,360 well you know as long as i've been doing 536 00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:12,880 this you know and i still don't have the 537 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:15,039 answers of course but you know 538 00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:18,240 many of us have our own theories and 539 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:20,799 uh now i had an encounter in 81 that 540 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:21,360 thing was 541 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:24,400 definitely corporal i mean that thing 542 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:24,880 was 543 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,960 a live real flushing blood the whole 544 00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:28,480 nine yards 545 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:30,240 but who's to say it didn't have some 546 00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:32,160 type of ability to kind of move itself 547 00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:35,520 out maybe out of this reality into 548 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:36,799 another or 549 00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:39,039 you know have some type of other ability 550 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:40,480 to make it 551 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:44,640 uh and i'm gonna say cloak or whatever 552 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:47,679 well you know my my sort of diplomatic 553 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:48,080 uh 554 00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:49,760 fence sitting that i like to like to 555 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:52,160 engage in is where i say that you know i 556 00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:52,880 mean 557 00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:54,240 again if you look at sort of the ufo 558 00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:56,160 phenomena a lot of times you'll have 559 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:57,600 these sort of screen memories or 560 00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:59,280 whatever these this other intelligence 561 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:01,440 is adopting the imagery of animals that 562 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:03,039 we know are real that we know are flesh 563 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:04,559 and blood creatures like deer 564 00:19:08,789 --> 00:19:07,120 and owls and you know rabbits or whatnot 565 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,799 so if that's the case with that who's to 566 00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:10,640 say that there might not be 567 00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:13,679 you know an actual population of relic 568 00:19:16,390 --> 00:19:14,400 hominids 569 00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:16,400 and something else that appropriates 570 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:17,840 that image right 571 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:19,919 for its own purposes too i think tim 572 00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:21,280 probably is less 573 00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:24,240 fond of that idea than i am but uh yeah 574 00:19:27,430 --> 00:19:25,360 i mean i i think it's 575 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:27,440 it and it's very important whenever we 576 00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:29,600 talk about this book 577 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:31,760 to for me to say that you know i talk to 578 00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:33,520 a lot of witnesses i meet witnesses 579 00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:37,280 in person all the time and 580 00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:39,520 they're not lying i absolutely believe 581 00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:41,120 they saw what they saw and i absolutely 582 00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:42,640 believe 583 00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:44,480 whatever they saw was physical and was 584 00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:46,000 here and could reach out and touch them 585 00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:47,120 and they could have reached out and 586 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:49,120 touched it and it can leave hair behind 587 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:50,160 and footprints 588 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:53,600 and scat et cetera uh so 589 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:55,919 it's it's like josh was saying before 590 00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:57,760 this idea that something 591 00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,559 can be both aboriginal and physical it's 592 00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:02,320 a real problem and i think it's it's to 593 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:03,200 do with 594 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:04,559 you know the way we were educated we 595 00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:06,320 were educated in a very materialistic 596 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:08,320 scientific way and and that's great 597 00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:10,000 because you know 598 00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:12,159 repeatable lab laboratory experiments 599 00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:13,919 and newtonian physics this stuff works i 600 00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:14,400 mean if you 601 00:20:17,510 --> 00:20:15,760 if you drop something it's going to fall 602 00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:17,520 gravity is real you know 603 00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:19,520 it's going to happen so it's really 604 00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:21,200 really hard 605 00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:23,840 to sort of shake people out into this 606 00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:25,919 idea or out of their normal thinking 607 00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:27,840 that something could be physically there 608 00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:29,600 at one point but also 609 00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:32,720 apparitional it's a very very difficult 610 00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,360 concept 611 00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:35,360 and it's one i i honestly struggle with 612 00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:37,440 too it's it's just it's such a bizarre 613 00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:39,840 thing but uh it's it's a valuable 614 00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:42,799 exercise if you can make it work 615 00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:45,760 well i mean you know in this deal it has 616 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:47,120 to deal with a lot of crypto other 617 00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:48,400 cryptids as well 618 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,919 you know this whole thing in chicago 619 00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:51,520 we've been working on now for 620 00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:54,480 seem like forever but four years uh you 621 00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:54,960 know 622 00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:56,960 we have no idea what this is people are 623 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:58,960 seeing it it looks like it's real to 624 00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:00,240 them 625 00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:03,120 but yeah how does this thing get around 626 00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:05,760 so quickly and disappear and such 627 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,039 it's uh it's a real conundrum 628 00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:11,039 yeah i guess i guess if tim and i have a 629 00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:13,280 real axe to grind it's not necessarily 630 00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:15,520 falling on any side of what you know it 631 00:21:18,789 --> 00:21:17,120 is and in terms of its you know 632 00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,799 physicality or non-physicality it's more 633 00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:20,559 along the lines of the fact that 634 00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:22,880 even if it has physical there's some 635 00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:24,559 real weirdness there and it gets 636 00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:26,080 it's so often stripped out of the 637 00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:28,000 narrative to the point that it almost 638 00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:30,000 seems like there has to be a concerted 639 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:31,600 effort to diminish 640 00:21:38,470 --> 00:21:35,200 those aspects of these phenomena 641 00:21:41,590 --> 00:21:38,480 well now you know that being said 642 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:41,600 um are these cryptids 643 00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:44,960 actually connected to other genres of 644 00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:50,149 i mean who you know short answer who 645 00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:51,600 knows 646 00:21:56,789 --> 00:21:55,039 but you know my gut says yes there's 647 00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:56,799 just so much crossover i mean light 648 00:21:59,350 --> 00:21:58,240 phenomenon's the easiest thing to point 649 00:22:00,789 --> 00:21:59,360 to 650 00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,799 weird lights with everything weird 651 00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:02,000 lights with ghosts weird lights with 652 00:22:07,669 --> 00:22:04,000 bigfoot weird lights with ufos 653 00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:07,679 and on down the line uh so 654 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:09,840 you know i just my gut tells me that 655 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:11,440 that it's it's all at least connected 656 00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:12,000 i'm not saying it's 657 00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:13,440 all the same thing although you know 658 00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,600 these may be different expressions 659 00:22:18,789 --> 00:22:17,120 of the same thing there might be you 660 00:22:21,110 --> 00:22:18,799 know one 661 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:21,120 thing behind it all i don't know you 662 00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:22,000 know but 663 00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:24,240 uh but i do think they're they're 664 00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,600 connected somehow i think 665 00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:27,440 i think that's the message that that the 666 00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:29,120 other as i call this the general 667 00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:30,000 paranormal 668 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,640 whatever's you know behind this there's 669 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:34,480 if there's a symbolic message there it's 670 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:35,440 it's these things 671 00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:37,200 are connected you know now how they're 672 00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:38,640 connected or why 673 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:41,120 you know it's up to anyone's theory i 674 00:22:47,270 --> 00:22:46,070 you know another thing i saw in the book 675 00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:47,280 which kind of grabbed me 676 00:22:51,669 --> 00:22:50,720 was the uh was beth's case down in uh 677 00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:51,679 drew moore 678 00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:54,880 yeah and once you talk about that oh 679 00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:56,320 that's what's wonderful yeah we i think 680 00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:57,840 we've talked about it before so 681 00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:00,559 she called you first and and then you 682 00:23:05,110 --> 00:23:02,320 put me in touch with her 683 00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:05,120 so i could go down and meet her and uh 684 00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:06,080 wonderful witness 685 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:09,679 know gathered all her neighbors together 686 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:13,360 and and got their stories and and uh 687 00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:15,760 you know very very forthcoming with with 688 00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:16,880 her own stories 689 00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:20,320 and and uh her neighbor behind her 690 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:22,480 had a farm that lived behind her and he 691 00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:23,840 you know he had actually seen creatures 692 00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:25,760 at this point she'd seen 693 00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:27,440 her her stuff started with what she saw 694 00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:29,440 would like she described as a giant wolf 695 00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:31,679 like a giant black wolf she saw walking 696 00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:33,120 across her property 697 00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:34,640 and i think you know that was sort of 698 00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:36,159 what we were going with 699 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,679 when you when she first contacted you we 700 00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:39,120 thought it was going to be dog man stuff 701 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:41,120 because of that 702 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,919 and her husband had seen something that 703 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:45,520 had to be over eight feet tall because 704 00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:45,840 he's 705 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:48,240 like he saw it over top their deck so he 706 00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:49,360 you know he was kind of 707 00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:51,440 even with the deck inside looking out 708 00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:52,720 and just

know what they 712 00:24:01,750 --> 00:23:59,760 were dealing with 713 00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:01,760 and uh started talking to their 714 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:02,880 neighbors and their neighbors 715 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,880 were reporting bigfoot sightings like 716 00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:06,799 actual sightings of bigfoot creatures 717 00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:08,080 the one neighbor told me

you're really in the area 942 00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:21,519 where a lot of that's going on 943 00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:24,559 now i know when i was a kid now god 944 00:31:29,750 --> 00:31:27,679 i'm

high school 954 00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:47,519 back then but i didn't really think much 955 00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:48,799 about it 956 00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:52,000 but i you know i over the years i have 957 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:55,360 thought about that and uh of course you 958 00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:55,919 know that 959 00:31:59,269 --> 00:31:57,679 you're talking about dover in that area 960 00:32:01,509 --> 00:31:59,279 there are the roads leading up 961 00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:01,519 passed over you know that's where we i 962 00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:02,320 had 963 00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:04,240 these reports of those wing humanoids 964 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:05,519 around there too 965 00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:09,039 up on the uh up on the conewago creek 966 00:32:13,990 -->

00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:18,399 no doubt about that 970 00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:22,399 um so you you did you mentioned 971 00:32:26,950 --> 00:32:24,000 something in the book that i 972 00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:26,960 i kind of don't understand maybe you can 973 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:28,320 explain it to me 974 00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:31,360 what is a wadden geist wilderness guys 975 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:31,760 josh 976 00:32:37,590 --> 00:32:35,600 take it well it occurred to me that um 977 00:32:39,190 --> 00:32:37,600 that a lot of the things that we 978 00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:39,200 associate with the paranormal we tend to 979 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:41,279 define by what we bring 980 00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:44,000 to our experiences so if you have you 981 00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:45,600 know a bright light in the sky it's a 982 00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:47,440 ufo if you have a bright light dancing 983 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:49,279 along the hillside it's a fairy light if 984 00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:50,720 you have a bright light in a 985 00:32:54,070 --> 00:32:52,559 old house it's a haunted it's a haunting 986 00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:54,080 and if you have a bright light 987 00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:56,080 in the woods well nowadays i think i 988 00:32:59,269 --> 00:32:58,000 personally want to say it's sasquatch 989 00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:59,279 but you know but it could be it goes in 990 00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:00,880 other words in other words the phenomena 991 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:03,519 is often context dependent 992 00:33:09,430 --> 00:33:06,960 and if you look at uh the class b 993 00:33:10,549 --> 00:33:09,440 reports of the bfro or any other sort of 994 00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:10,559 similar organization 995 00:33:15,669 --> 00:33:13,279 those reports that describe things that 996 00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:15,679 are kind of you know big footy those 997 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:17,519 the reports where nobody nobody actually 998 00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:19,360 sees you know a sasquatch but 999 00:33:22,630 --> 00:33:21,120 they are pelted with rocks or they hear 1000 00:33:24,230 --> 00:33:22,640 a voice in the forest or they 1001 00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:24,240 experience some sort of strange smell or 1002 00:33:28,789 --> 00:33:25,840 they see a footprint or they hear 1003 00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:28,799 you know knox of some sort those class b 1004 00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:30,640 reports if you were to put them inside a 1005 00:33:33,669 --> 00:33:32,240 house they would either be a haunting 1006 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:33,679 but more specifically they would be a 1007 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:35,360 poltergeist because those are all 1008 00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:37,440 hallmarks of poltergeist activity you 1009 00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:38,720 know to the extent that 1010 00:33:41,909 --> 00:33:40,320 some people who you know for example in 1011 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:41,919 the minerva monster case 1012 00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:44,159 uh they were seeing you know this dark 1013 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:45,360 figure 1014 00:33:47,990 --> 00:33:46,559 about the same time that you know that 1015 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:48,000 the town was in the middle of this this 1016 00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:49,360 bigfoot flap they would see this dark 1017 00:33:51,669 --> 00:33:50,000 figure 1018 00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:51,679 along the ridge line and they would have 1019 00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:53,360 rocks tossed down to them 1020 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:54,720 that would be warm to the touch and of 1021 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:56,399 course the very common thing in all 1022 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:58,159 poltergeist cases is that these rocks 1023 00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:59,760 might shower from the ceiling from just 1024 00:34:02,470 --> 00:34:01,120 some unknown area 1025 00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:02,480 and they're warm to the touch they've 1026 00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:04,320 even taken thermal imaging of some rocks 1027 00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:05,760 in some of these poltergeist cases and 1028 00:34:08,149 --> 00:34:06,000 shown 1029 00:34:09,909 --> 00:34:08,159 that they are much warmer than the than 1030 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:09,919 the uh than the room temperature now of 1031 00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:10,560 course if you're 1032 00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:13,520 a flesh and blood advocate you say well 1033 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:14,879 the bigfoot was holding a rock and it 1034 00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:15,359 was 1035 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:16,720 warming up the rock in its hand before 1036 00:34:19,909 --> 00:34:18,079 it threw it but at the same time you 1037 00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:19,919 have to say warm rocks in a house 1038 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,440 poltergeist warm rocks 1039 00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:23,040 being thrown at you outside of a house 1040 00:34:26,869 --> 00:34:24,480 you know bigfoot 1041 00:34:28,710 --> 00:34:26,879 so i thought that maybe it might be 1042 00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:28,720 interesting to sort of decouple the 1043 00:34:32,869 --> 00:34:31,359 phenomena from our assumptions about the 1044 00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:32,879 phenomena so that's where i came up with 1045 00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:35,040 the term vilnius geist which is 1046 00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:37,520 poltergeist is noisy ghost um for 1047 00:34:39,669 --> 00:34:38,240 anybody who 1048 00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:39,679 isn't aware um but i'm sure your 1049 00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:42,960 audience is uh it's used to describe 1050 00:34:47,589 --> 00:34:45,760 uh parapsychological phenomena um well 1051 00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:47,599 not parapsychological uh 1052 00:34:51,349 --> 00:34:50,480 supernatural phenomena that's sort of 1053 00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:51,359 centered around 1054 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:54,399 typically a youth going through puberty 1055 00:34:57,670 --> 00:34:55,679 and they'll have all sorts of things 1056 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:57,680 like spontaneous fires and again these 1057 00:35:00,069 --> 00:34:58,880 other things that i mentioned wrapping 1058 00:35:01,990 --> 00:35:00,079 and knocks and 1059 00:35:03,750 --> 00:35:02,000 showers of stones and odd smells and 1060 00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:03,760 strange voices in the house 1061 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:06,079 um so poltergeist is a german word 1062 00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:08,000 meaning noisy spirit or noisy ghost and 1063 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:08,960 i said well 1064 00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:11,119 if you have that same thing in the woods 1065 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:12,000 you can probably 1066 00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:13,440 you might be able to assume it's bigfoot 1067 00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:14,800 because people have seen bigfoot doing 1068 00:35:18,630 --> 00:35:16,000 some of these things but at the same 1069 00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:18,640 time if you didn't see bigfoot you can't 1070 00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:21,440 really say it's bigfoot i don't yeah 1071 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:24,400 so wildness geist wilderness poltergeist 1072 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:25,280 wilderness spirit 1073 00:35:29,030 --> 00:35:28,240 vilnius geist from the german is sort of 1074 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:29,040 an idea 1075 00:35:35,910 --> 00:35:32,640 to describe this phenomena that 1076 00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:35,920 it's a way to take that same suite of 1077 00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:39,520 of of of activity and to 1078 00:35:43,030 --> 00:35:41,680 take it away from the bigfoot assumption 1079 00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:43,040 um and i think that this 1080 00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:44,880 this sort of idea that maybe we're not 1081 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:46,560 dealing with you know 1082 00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:49,119 a large flesh and blood relic commented 1083 00:35:52,069 --> 00:35:49,920 throwing rocks 1084 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:52,079 i think that that idea gains a little 1085 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:53,440 bit more strength when you consider 1086 00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:54,640 that the other place where people 1087 00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:57,040 reported poltergeist activity 1088 00:36:00,230 --> 00:35:58,480 was during seances during the 1089 00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:00,240 spiritualist movement and then 1090 00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:01,760 when you look at the sort of things that 1091 00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:03,440 happen in those cases there is no 1092 00:36:06,390 --> 00:36:04,640 shortage of 1093 00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:06,400 hairy hands that would materialize 1094 00:36:10,470 --> 00:36:08,000 during these seasons and there also 1095 00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:10,480 are several accounts of people who claim 1096 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:11,280 to have seen 1097 00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:14,560 large humanoid hair covered figures 1098 00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:17,200 in these um in these sciences as well 1099 00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:18,960 you know paranormal author stanley gooch 1100 00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:19,520 saw 1101 00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:21,040 something that he's described as either 1102 00:36:23,270 --> 00:36:22,640 you know a neanderthal man covered in 1103 00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:23,280 fur or 1104 00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:26,800 literally like a giant furry uh man ape 1105 00:36:29,829 --> 00:36:28,400 uh he wasn't really sure what that was a 1106 00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:29,839 little bit too dark but um 1107 00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:32,240 frank kliske another medium uh back 1108 00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:34,000 around i believe the turn of the 20th 1109 00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:35,040 century 1110 00:36:39,910 --> 00:36:37,680 uh also manifested a similar creature an 1111 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:39,920 ape man in one of his seances so you 1112 00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:41,200 know you look at that sort of again 1113 00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:42,240 that's that that 1114 00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:45,839 that body of class b evidence 1115 00:36:49,190 --> 00:36:48,560 and hairy creatures that appear both you 1116 00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:49,200 know in 1117 00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:50,560 in the woods and in something like a 1118 00:36:53,829 --> 00:36:51,920 seance it's like well you know maybe 1119 00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:53,839 we're not always dealing with bigfoot 1120 00:36:57,190 --> 00:36:55,440 when we hear wood knocks in the forest 1121 00:36:58,710 --> 00:36:57,200 maybe we're not always 1122 00:37:00,230 --> 00:36:58,720 dealing with you know bigfoot when we 1123 00:37:00,710 --> 00:37:00,240 get pelted with stones in the forest and 1124 00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:00,720 then 1125 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:03,440 if you take that sort of an angle to 1126 00:37:06,710 --> 00:37:03,839 this 1127 00:37:08,230 --> 00:37:06,720 it really opens up interpreting the 1128 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:08,240 bigfoot phenomena through a lot of other 1129 00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:09,839 lenses so the other chapters in the in 1130 00:37:12,870 --> 00:37:11,280 the book are looking at you know 1131 00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:12,880 you know bigfoot and ghosts how those 1132 00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:15,280 things overlap bigfoot and which old old 1133 00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:16,880 old world witch lore which i never 1134 00:37:20,230 --> 00:37:18,720 thought would be connected taking a look 1135 00:37:21,190 --> 00:37:20,240 at that taking a look at bigfoot and 1136 00:37:22,790 --> 00:37:21,200 fairy lore 1137 00:37:24,390 --> 00:37:22,800 uh particularly of western europe and 1138 00:37:25,190 --> 00:37:24,400 looking at how all those things connect 1139 00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:25,200 and i think it's just 1140 00:37:29,829 --> 00:37:27,200 it's just a an interesting way to look 1141 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:29,839 at what we would call bigfoot without 1142 00:37:34,069 --> 00:37:32,560 all this cultural baggage that we have 1143 00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:34,079 you know as americans who want to say 1144 00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:36,000 well you know it's a large hairy large 1145 00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:37,760 hairy ape man you know i've said in the 1146 00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:38,800 past 1147 00:37:43,270 --> 00:37:40,720 that in some ways this isn't a book 1148 00:37:45,109 --> 00:37:43,280 about bigfoot it's kind of a book about 1149 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:45,119 the way that you can look at bigfoot 1150 00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:47,760 more than it is about bigfoot himself 1151 00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:50,400 well and i'll tell you it's interesting 1152 00:37:53,910 --> 00:37:52,160 when you do get these reports 1153 00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:53,920 that you know it does sound like a 1154 00:37:57,109 --> 00:37:55,680 bigfoot but there's a lot of other 1155 00:38:00,550 --> 00:37:57,119 phenomena associated 1156 00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:00,560 with it that isn't really associated 1157 00:38:04,069 --> 00:38:02,160 with a bigfoot i mean 1158 00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:04,079 uh you know when you're talking about 1159 00:38:07,270 --> 00:38:05,920 poltergeist you're talking about pk 1160 00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:07,280 you're talking about 1161 00:38:11,349 --> 00:38:09,680 uh thought form manifestation i mean 1162 00:38:13,670 --> 00:38:11,359 it's very possible 1163 00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:13,680 that somebody might be able to do that 1164 00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:14,720 as well 1165 00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:17,200 and believe it's a bigfoot well and and 1166 00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:18,560 you know if you look at i mean 1167 00:38:21,670 --> 00:38:20,079 so i'm i'm saying that you know 1168 00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:21,680 sometimes maybe something in the forest 1169 00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:22,800 that you think is bigfoot might be a 1170 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:24,960 poltergeist but there are other cases 1171 00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:27,599 similar to the way that you know uh you 1172 00:38:30,630 --> 00:38:28,079 know 1173 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:30,640 alien contactees alien experiencers i 1174 00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:31,680 guess 1175 00:38:35,270 --> 00:38:33,440 will often have poltergeist phenomena in 1176 00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:35,280 their homes similarly sometimes bigfoot 1177 00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:37,359 experiencers have the same thing 1178 00:38:41,109 --> 00:38:40,000 there's a you know a 1946 case of uh 1179 00:38:43,750 --> 00:38:41,119 someone who saw 1180 00:38:45,910 --> 00:38:43,760 you know a yowie in australia in their 1181 00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:45,920 yard and they also had you know showers 1182 00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:46,560 of 1183 00:38:50,710 --> 00:38:48,800 rocks and uh you know doors that swung 1184 00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:50,720 open in the house as well 1185 00:38:56,069 --> 00:38:53,760 and to say i mean obviously there's no 1186 00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:56,079 explicit connection between seeing a 1187 00:38:59,589 --> 00:38:57,680 yowie in your front yard and having a 1188 00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:59,599 poltergeist in your house but 1189 00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:01,440 man to consider the fact that a lot of 1190 00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:02,560 people go through their lives without 1191 00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:03,760 either those things happening and you 1192 00:39:07,109 --> 00:39:05,280 have those two things happening in close 1193 00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:07,119 proximity in terms of time 1194 00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:09,200 it's just that seems a little bit too 1195 00:39:13,990 --> 00:39:11,920 coincidental for my tastes 1196 00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:14,000 now you guys also wrote a chapter about 1197 00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:15,520 gifting now what are your thoughts on 1198 00:39:18,630 --> 00:39:16,720 that i mean 1199 00:39:20,710 --> 00:39:18,640 you know you hear all kinds of stories 1200 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:20,720 about gifting i've had people 1201 00:39:27,829 --> 00:39:24,400 that i know who have sworn that 1202 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:27,839 uh they had a string of exchanges with a 1203 00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:29,200 bigfoot 1204 00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:31,440 but uh i mean overall what do you guys 1205 00:39:36,150 --> 00:39:32,960 take on that 1206 00:39:37,349 --> 00:39:36,160 well i mean i've had a series of 1207 00:39:39,829 --> 00:39:37,359 exchanges with 1208 00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:39,839 something i know you did i don't i don't 1209 00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:40,720 know what it was 1210 00:39:48,470 --> 00:39:46,000 i never never saw it and uh you know it 1211 00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:48,480 so what i did is look at this in the 1212 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:50,000 framework of 1213 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:53,599 uh spirit

00:40:52,150 --> 00:40:48,800 bigfoot will become dependent 1241 00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:52,160 upon this food to which i say that's 1242 00:40:55,430 --> 00:40:53,920 that's absolutely ridiculous because 1243 00:40:56,710 --> 00:40:55,440 people are usually leaving out like a 1244 00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:56,720 candy bar or 1245 00:41:00,069 --> 00:40:58,480 you know a granola bar or a couple 1246 00:41:01,990 --> 00:41:00,079 apples or something and 1247 00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:02,000 if these are natural creatures they're 1248 00:41:04,309 --> 00:41:03,280 eight feet tall they're close to a 1249 00:41:07,270 --> 00:41:04,319 thousand pounds 1250 00:41:07,750 --> 00:41:07,280 their caloric needs would be insane like 1251 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:07,760 they 1252 00:41:11,109 --> 00:41:09,440 the the caloric needs of something that 1253 00:41:12,230 --> 00:41:11,119 size and and with that kind of 1254 00:41:14,870 --> 00:41:12,240 musculature 1255 00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:14,880 and you know if if these creatures are 1256 00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:16,160 out there they have big brains they have 1257 00:41:20,069 --> 00:41:17,359 to they're smart 1258 00:41:20,630 --> 00:41:20,079 uh you know the the way they act you 1259 00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:20,640 know they're not 1260 00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:22,319 dumb in any way so they have a big brain 1261 00:41:26,390 --> 00:41:24,079 which requires a lot of fuel 1262 00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:26,400 to feed so a couple candy bars on a 1263 00:41:30,630 --> 00:41:27,839 stump is not making 1264 00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:30,640 any sort of dent in the caloric needs of 1265 00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:32,560 of a creature that size 1266 00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:34,000 so we can throw that out the window 1267 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,400 right away but what they'll say is uh 1268 00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:37,839 you know well bigfoot can go through 1269 00:41:40,470 --> 00:41:39,119 your trash can 1270 00:41:42,230 --> 00:41:40,480 and that doesn't count because your 1271 00:41:43,109 --> 00:41:42,240 trash can but if you leave candy bars on 1272 00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:43,119 a stump 1273 00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:45,520 then then you're you know you're making 1274 00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:46,640 gifting and then you're gonna have 1275 00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:47,760 problems well 1276 00:41:50,950 --> 00:41:49,280 how would a bigfoot know the difference 1277 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,960 between a stump and a trash can like how 1278 00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:52,079 does it 1279 00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:54,240 not know you know why wouldn't a bigfoot 1280 00:41:58,390 --> 00:41:55,760 think that a trashcan is a 1281 00:41:59,270 --> 00:41:58,400 a big offering receptacle you know how 1282 00:42:00,630 --> 00:41:59,280 would it know 1283 00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:00,640 so it comes down to this idea of 1284 00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:03,119 intention which is very very important 1285 00:42:06,870 --> 00:42:06,240 um in terms of this stuff so you know it 1286 00:42:08,069 --> 00:42:06,880 has 1287 00:42:09,510 --> 00:42:08,079 entirely to do with intention and 1288 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:09,520 they'll talk about planning a bigfoot 1289 00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:10,800 garden for instance like 1290 00:42:14,710 --> 00:42:13,040 like plant a bigfoot garden closer to 1291 00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:14,720 the woods away from your normal garden 1292 00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:15,359 and 1293 00:42:19,349 --> 00:42:17,520 bigfoot will take from that garden only 1294 00:42:21,430 --> 00:42:19,359 well that's not the way animals work 1295 00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:21,440 animals are caloric opportunists any 1296 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:23,200 other animal on the planet would go oh 1297 00:42:25,990 --> 00:42:25,200 now i have two places to pill for food 1298 00:42:27,910 --> 00:42:26,000 from 1299 00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:27,920 so again this is intention you're 1300 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:29,760 setting up a dedicated space for the 1301 00:42:33,030 --> 00:42:30,960 bigfoot then 1302 00:42:35,109 --> 00:42:33,040 uh so how would it know how would it 1303 00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:35,119 know you know 1304 00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:37,200 it wouldn't unless you're talking about 1305 00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:38,880 something akin to spirit gifting and if 1306 00:42:42,470 --> 00:42:40,720 you overlay this over spirit gifting 1307 00:42:44,790 --> 00:42:42,480 which people again have done 1308 00:42:46,309 --> 00:42:44,800 for ages and ages and ages and you look 1309 00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:46,319 at these old cases of people 1310 00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:47,760 leaving out you know milk for the 1311 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:50,240 fairies or or food for the brownies and 1312 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:51,760 so forth 1313 00:42:55,750 --> 00:42:54,480 uh to use old world examples and they 1314 00:42:57,190 --> 00:42:55,760 will say don't stop 1315 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:57,200 now the flesh and blood guys say you 1316 00:43:00,790 --> 00:42:59,280 know again don't stop because bigfoot 1317 00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:00,800 depends on these calories now and then 1318 00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:03,040 hold he'll mess your house up or disturb 1319 00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:05,440 you at night bang on your walls etc etc 1320 00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:07,040 uh you'll have an angry bigfoot on your 1321 00:43:09,990 --> 00:43:08,720 hand but if you look at these old 1322 00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:10,000 accounts of these people who 1323 00:43:13,910 --> 00:43:12,800 who would not feed the brownie you know 1324 00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:13,920 they would start feeding the brownie and 1325 00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:15,200 then stop they would forget to feed the 1326 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:15,760 brownie 1327 00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:19,200 or bang on their house 1328 00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:22,000 or you know climb on their roof uh might 1329 00:43:24,309 --> 00:43:22,400 might 1330 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:24,319 you know tear their basement up make 1331 00:43:27,910 --> 00:43:25,520 their house a mess so 1332 00:43:29,349 --> 00:43:27,920 so you have these these cases these old 1333 00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:29,359 folklore cases you don't even need to 1334 00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:30,079 force it 1335 00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:32,720 you can just overlay it directly and it 1336 00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:33,280 this is 1337 00:43:37,030 --> 00:43:34,880 in my opinion is exactly what people are 1338 00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:37,040 doing it's a form of spirit gifting 1339 00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:40,000 and uh it can be problematic there are 1340 00:43:42,550 --> 00:43:41,680 rules our ancestors laid out in the 1341 00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:42,560 folklore 1342 00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:44,800 and uh trust me i broke them and had a 1343 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:46,640 very very bad experience 1344 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:49,920 uh after doing so uh so i know i 1345 00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:52,720 i caution people um not because bigfoot 1346 00:43:55,030 --> 00:43:53,040 will 1347 00:43:56,950 --> 00:43:55,040 be you know calorically dependent on 1348 00:43:58,710 --> 00:43:56,960 whatever you leave but because 1349 00:44:00,790 --> 00:43:58,720 there are explicit rules and and they're 1350 00:44:03,589 --> 00:44:00,800 easy to it's easy to mess up 1351 00:44:03,910 --> 00:44:03,599 and uh you know these things tend to uh 1352 00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:03,920 get 1353 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:07,680 mess up and you know you know tim 1354 00:44:11,109 --> 00:44:09,359 mentions the brownie there i would be a 1355 00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:11,119 bit remiss if i didn't say that you know 1356 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:11,760 that sort of 1357 00:44:15,829 --> 00:44:13,839 that particular class of fairy the 1358 00:44:19,030 --> 00:44:15,839 brownies which you'll find other 1359 00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:19,040 analogs um you know certain goblins and 1360 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:19,920 peck amberlin 1361 00:44:23,589 --> 00:44:22,000 and phen audrey of different you know 1362 00:44:26,390 --> 00:44:23,599 areas throughout western europe 1363 00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:26,400 um were often described as little tiny 1364 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:28,800 simian faced hair covered creatures 1365 00:44:32,230 --> 00:44:30,319 which you know if we saw that today 1366 00:44:33,829 --> 00:44:32,240 you'd say oh it's a little foot but 1367 00:44:36,550 --> 00:44:33,839 you know that you started the show off 1368 00:44:37,670 --> 00:44:36,560 with like yeah actually literally yeah 1369 00:44:39,030 --> 00:44:37,680 and you know when you when you take a 1370 00:44:40,550 --> 00:44:39,040 look at that you sort of turn your head 1371 00:44:41,990 --> 00:44:40,560 and squint and think about the fact that 1372 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:42,000 you know fairies were 1373 00:44:46,069 --> 00:44:44,720 in a lot of folklore they could be tall 1374 00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:46,079 and they could be short they could be 1375 00:44:48,630 --> 00:44:47,520 described as trolls or ogres and they 1376 00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:48,640 were also you know 1377 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:50,640 size and shape shifters you're like well 1378 00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:51,760 what are we really looking at with 1379 00:44:55,510 --> 00:44:53,200 something like the bigfoot phenomena if 1380 00:44:57,190 --> 00:44:55,520 they react the same way to offerings 1381 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:57,200 that a lot of these older entities these 1382 00:45:01,910 --> 00:44:58,960 older earth spirits would then what are 1383 00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:01,920 we what are we really dealing with here 1384 00:45:05,270 --> 00:45:04,800 absolutely you know intention you

00:45:12,160 world 1389 00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:15,359 uh absolutely yeah you're right and 1390 00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:18,800 you've got to be careful how you use it 1391 00:45:24,950 --> 00:45:22,480 uh but um i don't know i'm not gonna go 1392 00:45:27,349 --> 00:45:24,960 digging into that right now 1393 00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:27,359 i mean it just it can go sideways on you 1394 00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:28,720 yeah oh absolutely 1395 00:45:34,630 --> 00:45:31,760 yeah now you also brought something else 1396 00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:34,640 else in the book um that i find 1397 00:45:39,109 --> 00:45:36,400 intriguing 1398 00:45:40,870 --> 00:45:39,119 and uh this is something i've wondered 1399 00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:40,880 for a long time 1400 00:45:45,589 --> 00:45:43,040 is the attraction of bigfoot even 1401 00:45:49,109 --> 00:45:45,599 upright canines and other phenomena 1402 00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:51,510 yeah it's interesting because if you 1403 00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:52,480 look at 1404 00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:56,720 for example you know all throughout 1405 00:46:00,550 --> 00:45:58,400 a lot of these you know european 1406 00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:00,560 sightings where again you'd see fairies 1407 00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:03,200 a lot of them are you know these sort of 1408 00:46:07,589 --> 00:46:04,560 you know 1409 00:46:09,910 --> 00:46:07,599 pre-christian burial grounds and uh 1410 00:46:11,829 --> 00:46:09,920 people have talked about that um in the 1411 00:46:13,349 --> 00:46:11,839 u.s as well now of course you'll have 1412 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:13,359 you know a lot of people who are wanting 1413 00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:14,880 to be critical of the paranormal say oh 1414 00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:16,720 well that's a hollywood trope or 1415 00:46:20,390 --> 00:46:18,640 they'll say oh that's you know your way 1416 00:46:20,710 --> 00:46:20,400 of being a racist and saying that you 1417 00:46:22,309 --> 00:46:20,720 know 1418 00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:22,319 native americans were more mystic and 1419 00:46:25,750 --> 00:46:24,560 like but but if the data is there the 1420 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:25,760 data is there 1421 00:46:29,190 --> 00:46:26,640 you know people don't like to 1422 00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:29,200 acknowledge the fact that there's 1423 00:46:33,109 --> 00:46:31,599 an extreme amount of bigfoot and ufo 1424 00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:33,119 sightings that take place around 1425 00:46:35,349 --> 00:46:34,000 cemeteries 1426 00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:35,359 yeah it's just something that happens 1427 00:46:39,990 --> 00:46:37,200 and if you go um you know 1428 00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:40,000 even deeper into the time scale there 1429 00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:41,200 are 1430 00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:44,560 it would be very easy to find burial 1431 00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:46,800 sites of native americans 1432 00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:48,800 in close proximity to these bigfoot 1433 00:46:52,710 --> 00:46:51,119 sightings as well you know 1434 00:46:54,950 --> 00:46:52,720 part of me says that there's something 1435 00:46:57,270 --> 00:46:54,960 to that and part of me also says 1436 00:46:58,309 --> 00:46:57,280 that uh you know there's probably not a 1437 00:47:00,390 --> 00:46:58,319 square inch 1438 00:47:02,390 --> 00:47:00,400 in the americas that isn't you know 1439 00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:02,400 housing some sort of remains of somebody 1440 00:47:06,790 --> 00:47:04,000 at any given point 1441 00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:06,800 but um yeah i mean you know i have 1442 00:47:09,190 --> 00:47:08,640 reports in the book of bigfoot being 1443 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:09,200 seen 1444 00:47:14,710 --> 00:47:12,240 during uh seminal excavations of 1445 00:47:16,870 --> 00:47:14,720 of burial grounds in the everglades um 1446 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:16,880 some up in wisconsin uh there's one 1447 00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:18,560 that's actually a 1448 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:19,760 really interesting case that linda 1449 00:47:23,589 --> 00:47:22,000 godfrey talked about about this sighting 1450 00:47:24,150 --> 00:47:23,599 that was just right next to o'hare 1451 00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:24,160 airport 1452 00:47:27,910 --> 00:47:26,000 um and of course you know everything 1453 00:47:29,270 --> 00:47:27,920 goes silent which doesn't make any sense 1454 00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:29,280 if you're next to o'hare you're talking 1455 00:47:31,510 --> 00:47:29,599 about 1456 00:47:33,670 --> 00:47:31,520 shore woods yeah the shiller woods thing 1457 00:47:35,589 --> 00:47:33,680 which also houses crazy area man because 1458 00:47:38,309 --> 00:47:35,599 we've had sightings up there too 1459 00:47:39,829 --> 00:47:38,319 well and it houses a burial ground yeah 1460 00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:39,839 an indian barrel ground there as well so 1461 00:47:44,390 --> 00:47:41,920 i think that there is something to that 1462 00:47:45,670 --> 00:47:44,400 um but you know as as far as what that 1463 00:47:46,950 --> 00:47:45,680 means about the phenomena 1464 00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:46,960 your guess is as good as mine but it's 1465 00:47:51,910 --> 00:47:49,440 interesting that we see 1466 00:47:52,710 --> 00:47:51,920 an association of again i keep on coming 1467 00:47:54,470 --> 00:47:52,720 back to those things 1468 00:47:56,390 --> 00:47:54,480 fairies ghosts and witches all have 1469 00:47:58,390 --> 00:47:56,400 these associations with cemeteries and 1470 00:48:00,390 --> 00:47:58,400 graveyards and burial grounds and 1471 00:48:01,510 --> 00:48:00,400 i think the fact that we see bigfoot in 1472 00:48:04,829 --> 00:48:01,520 those same 1473 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:04,839 areas uh is i think it's worth 1474 00:48:08,549 --> 00:48:06,480 mentioning 1475 00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:08,559 yeah i do too i mean you know it's funny 1476 00:48:14,790 --> 00:48:11,200 that you you put that in the book about 1477 00:48:15,670 --> 00:48:14,800 uh the 67 encounter along the dis plains 1478 00:48:17,510 --> 00:48:15,680 river 1479 00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:17,520 and that's in that area around shiller 1480 00:48:23,670 --> 00:48:20,400 park chiller woods of forest preserve 1481 00:48:25,829 --> 00:48:23,680 we had a we had several wing humanoid 1482 00:48:28,230 --> 00:48:25,839 sightings around there as well 1483 00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:28,240 and uh there's definitely something 1484 00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:29,440 about that 1485 00:48:33,990 --> 00:48:31,839 you know the other night i was on a 1486 00:48:34,630 --> 00:48:34,000 radio show we were talking about you 1487 00:48:37,190 --> 00:48:34,640 know this 1488 00:48:38,790 --> 00:48:37,200 chicago humanoids mothman or whatever 1489 00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:38,800 they are 1490 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:41,920 and uh somebody had brought up the point 1491 00:48:45,670 --> 00:48:43,680 that 1492 00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:45,680 you know all these sightings recently 1493 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:46,960 have been in and around 1494 00:48:51,349 --> 00:48:50,800 o'hara and i hadn't even thought about 1495 00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:51,359 that but 1496 00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:53,920 sure it's very close to o'hara and 1497 00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:56,000 there's a lot of strange stuff that goes 1498 00:48:58,950 --> 00:48:56,800 on there 1499 00:49:00,470 --> 00:48:58,960 i i have a friend who grew up near there 1500 00:49:02,470 --> 00:49:00,480 and he said that there was some weird 1501 00:49:04,630 --> 00:49:02,480 activity in his house as well and 1502 00:49:06,549 --> 00:49:04,640 the funny thing about you know chicago 1503 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:06,559 there are two other examples in the book 1504 00:49:13,589 --> 00:49:10,240 a 2014 sighting of a night watchman who 1505 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:13,599 saw this like four foot reddish ape and 1506 00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:13,920 here 1507 00:49:19,510 --> 00:49:16,400 chimpanzee noises in a small pocket park 1508 00:49:21,589 --> 00:49:19,520 that's glenwood woods which is 60 acres 1509 00:49:24,069 --> 00:49:21,599 and another person who found these 1510 00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:24,079 18-inch bigfoot footprints between 73rd 1511 00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:25,440 street and mason avenue 1512 00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:27,760 so it's like okay look i'll i'll give 1513 00:49:30,390 --> 00:49:28,800 you i'll give you some 1514 00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:30,400 i'll give you i'll extend the line of 1515 00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:32,559 credit on bigfoot being 1516 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:34,079 uh you know tromping around the pacific 1517 00:49:38,790 --> 00:49:36,880 northwest but chicago that implies to me 1518 00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:38,800 that this is something that's 1519 00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:40,480 a little bit it might be a little bit 1520 00:49:44,230 --> 00:49:42,480 more ephemeral than people want to admit 1521 00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:44,240 and josh i'm not sure how familiar you 1522 00:49:48,069 --> 00:49:46,240 are with all the the those chicago 1523 00:49:49,829 --> 00:49:48,079 mothman reports but uh 1524 00:49:51,670 --> 00:49:49,839 quite a few of them are kind of bat 1525 00:49:54,069 --> 00:49:51,680 squatches 1526 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:54,079 yeah you mentioned that and uh that sort 1527 00:49:56,390 --> 00:49:54,720 of 1528 00:49:57,829 --> 00:49:56,400 you know i did i wasn't thinking that i 1529 00:49:59,270 --> 00:49:57,839 wasn't making that particular connection 1530 00:50:00,630 --> 00:49:59,280 at the time but it's interesting how you 1531 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:00,640 look at these other sort of like 1532 00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:02,559 you know so and so squatch characters 1533 00:50:07,109 --> 00:50:05,839 like sheepsquatch and basquatch and 1534 00:50:08,710 --> 00:50:07,119 i would even say you know if you want to 1535 00:50:09,510 --> 00:50:08,720 put dogman in there too it's like dog 1536 00:50:12,790 --> 00:50:09,520 squatch 1537 00:50:13,990 --> 00:50:12,800 um they they sort of have the each of 1538 00:50:16,630 --> 00:50:14,000 those 1539 00:50:17,829 --> 00:50:16,640 have they have antecedents in you know 1540 00:50:19,349 --> 00:50:17,839 the the galatia 1541 00:50:21,109 --> 00:50:19,359 in a lot of these grimoires that you see 1542 00:50:24,069 --> 00:50:21,119 in magical and occult practice 1543 00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:24,079 exactly so is that you know is that a 1544 00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:25,920 some sort of spontaneous manifestation 1545 00:50:29,190 --> 00:50:27,599 of those spirits and if so 1546 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:29,200 does that mean that bigfoot occupies a 1547 00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:31,040 similar space i would i would 1548 00:50:35,270 --> 00:50:33,760 argue that you know given some of the 1549 00:50:36,950 --> 00:50:35,280 similarities that bigfoot have with 1550 00:50:38,230 --> 00:50:36,960 witches because you know a lot of old 1551 00:50:41,589 --> 00:50:38,240 world witches were literally 1552 00:50:42,630 --> 00:50:41,599 covered in hair um that that's it's an 1553 00:50:44,390 --> 00:50:42,640 idea to entertain 1554 00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:44,400 i mean we're already talking about we're 1555 00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:45,920 already talking about bigfoot everybody 1556 00:50:49,750 --> 00:50:47,520 thinks we're crazy anyway let's just see 1557 00:50:52,150 --> 00:50:49,760 how far we can take this 1558 00:50:53,910 --> 00:50:52,160 where did we end up on on the idea i 1559 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:53,920 know at some point there was some idea 1560 00:50:57,109 --> 00:50:55,440 with the chicago stuff that 1561 00:50:59,510 --> 00:50:57,119 that someone had summoned something 1562 00:51:01,270 --> 00:50:59,520 wasn't there lon yeah i you know that's 1563 00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:01,280 a theory i've had ever since 1564 00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:04,240 point pleasant i've always thought that 1565 00:51:08,150 --> 00:51:06,000 you know these beings 1566 00:51:09,430 --> 00:51:08,160 were possibly summoned from another 1567 00:51:11,349 --> 00:51:09,440 reality 1568 00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:11,359 uh you know the spirit energy around 1569 00:51:15,190 --> 00:51:13,200 point please is really palpable 1570 00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:15,200 of course you know the indigenous 1571 00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:16,640 spirits and such and 1572 00:51:20,710 --> 00:51:18,640 i mean you go there and do investigation 1573 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:20,720 and some of the um 1574 00:51:24,630 --> 00:51:22,480 and some of the ebps that come out of 1575 00:51:27,910 --> 00:51:24,640 there are just unbelievable 1576 00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:27,920 but uh no you know we had a we had a uh 1577 00:51:33,750 --> 00:51:32,160 a witch in chicago who swears she may 1578 00:51:35,109 --> 00:51:33,760 have actually summoned one of these 1579 00:51:38,549 --> 00:51:35,119 beings 1580 00:51:39,109 --> 00:51:38,559 during a uh oh i don't know what was it 1581 00:51:49,109 --> 00:51:39,119 a 1582 00:51:51,430 --> 00:51:49,119 something 1583 00:51:52,790 --> 00:51:51,440 that summoned these uh winged beings 1584 00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:52,800 into chicago 1585 00:51:58,150 --> 00:51:56,880 i mean so interesting an idea you know 1586 00:52:00,870 --> 00:51:58,160 i mean talking about point pleasant 1587 00:52:03,510 --> 00:52:00,880 point pleasant has a goat man um along 1588 00:52:05,030 --> 00:52:03,520 uh bethel church road i believe it is 1589 00:52:06,309 --> 00:52:05,040 that some people have seen as well now 1590 00:52:07,670 --> 00:52:06,319 of course a lot of communities have goat 1591 00:52:09,109 --> 00:52:07,680 men but still 1592 00:52:10,790 --> 00:52:09,119 it's interesting it's interesting when 1593 00:52:13,109 --> 00:52:10,800 you compare the goat man with that image 1594 00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:13,119 of the sabbatic goat of baphomet which 1595 00:52:16,309 --> 00:52:14,880 you know has a much longer history than 1596 00:52:19,270 --> 00:52:16,319 we want to go into here but 1597 00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:19,280 it kind of it makes you wonder again as 1598 00:52:22,390 --> 00:52:20,480 i said to tim 1599 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:22,400 uh that i'm so proud he took up this 1600 00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:23,520 banner when i said it 1601 00:52:26,549 --> 00:52:24,720 i said you know you've got to look at 1602 00:52:28,150 --> 00:52:26,559 the company that these things keep and 1603 00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:28,160 i think initially i was referring to the 1604 00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:29,760 fact that you know 1605 00:52:33,670 --> 00:52:31,920 aleister crowley bought you know 1606 00:52:34,710 --> 00:52:33,680 bellescan house on the shores of loch 1607 00:52:36,069 --> 00:52:34,720 ness which has 1608 00:52:38,309 --> 00:52:36,079 nessie you know that that means like 1609 00:52:42,309 --> 00:52:38,319 okay why are you doing that uncle al 1610 00:52:44,950 --> 00:52:42,319 um so i think that if you look you know 1611 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:44,960 it's almost to me like a step beyond the 1612 00:52:48,069 --> 00:52:46,880 idea of window areas the idea that you 1613 00:52:49,910 --> 00:52:48,079 know 1614 00:52:51,349 --> 00:52:49,920 yeah window areas but so if you have a 1615 00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:51,359 lot of varied phenomena in the same 1616 00:52:53,510 --> 00:52:52,000 place like 1617 00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:53,520 tim does in his little slice of 1618 00:52:57,030 --> 00:52:55,839 pennsylvania it kind of makes me wonder 1619 00:52:58,230 --> 00:52:57,040 if there isn't some 1620 00:53:00,390 --> 00:52:58,240 as we talked about the beginning of the 1621 00:53:02,309 --> 00:53:00,400 interview uh maybe it's not the same 1622 00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:02,319 thing but these venn diagrams 1623 00:53:08,390 --> 00:53:04,079 have got to touch there's no way these 1624 00:53:12,390 --> 00:53:11,109 uh before i get you know we end the show 1625 00:53:13,910 --> 00:53:12,400 i definitely have to talk about 1626 00:53:16,069 --> 00:53:13,920 gettysburg and misha 1627 00:53:18,870 --> 00:53:16,079 now you've been doing some investigating 1628 00:53:21,670 --> 00:53:18,880 of a misha for the last couple years tim 1629 00:53:22,710 --> 00:53:21,680 um talk about some of the stuff that 1630
