00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:36,640 wide bat like wings 61 00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,319 that spanned across both freeway lanes 62 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,400 the being glided towards the car as it 63 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,400 was going to collide with the windshield 64 00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:45,599 in fact 65 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:48,080 dh's companion coiled expecting an 66 00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:49,440 impact 67 00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,840 a dh braced himself for a collision but 68 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:53,599 suddenly the winged being flew over the 69 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,560 vehicle 70 00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,280 both occupants were extremely shaken to 71 00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:59,200 the point where dh pulled over onto the 72 00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,800 shoulder 73 00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:02,959 now dh stated that the being was dark 74 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,159 brown in color 75 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:06,959 with a shiny wet like appearance the 76 00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,120 wings were leather-like and quite large 77 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:11,519 the body was six five to six foot in 78 00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:12,879 length and thin 79 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,239 with a narrow head that had pointed ears 80 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,480 the eyes were hollow and dark the being 81 00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:20,480 never flapped and moved its wings 82 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,599 as if it had another means of propulsion 83 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:25,920 now d.h never reported the encounter and 84 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:26,640 felt 85 00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:30,640 comfortable relaying the encounter to me 86 00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:32,239 after reading about the chicago 87 00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:36,319 incidents now after i had posted 88 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:40,480 this account he uh sent me a follow-up 89 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:43,120 in his own words he said that we both 90 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:45,680 noticed and saw what looked like a wide 91 00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:48,720 somewhat glossy object drop straight 92 00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:49,120 down 93 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:52,400 super fast like a spider would uh when 94 00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:53,360 it drops in 95 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,720 from a vertical web line to lower itself 96 00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:58,879 as it dropped and stopped suddenly just 97 00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:01,040 feet above the horizon 98 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,280 as to then i instantly proceeded to 99 00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:05,280 glide towards my low prof 100 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,640 profile sports car at what i estimate 101 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:10,640 was the same speed i was heading towards 102 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:12,879 it so we were heading toward each other 103 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:13,280 each 104 00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,560 now at about 140 miles an hour 105 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:18,720 i saw it in my high beams as i headed 106 00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:21,120 directly toward my cord's windshield 107 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:22,880 i waited until it appeared imminent it 108 00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:25,120 was going to collide with my windshield 109 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,040 which was about 20 foot in my guess 110 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,880 my view of the wings face shoulder were 111 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:32,720 brief but amazing 112 00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:34,960 before i duck sideways while trying to 113 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:37,199 maintain control of the car 114 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,800 the lower part of my body just went numb 115 00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:43,199 with the lower torso goose bumps in a 116 00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,919 way that i have never experienced 117 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,919 this creature defined physics as it 118 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:49,199 drops straight down 119 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:52,720 not an angled glide it is with the air 120 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:53,440 went 121 00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,520 right through its wings and it did 122 00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,600 appear to drop faster than gravity could 123 00:05:02,150 --> 00:04:59,759 pull any object down 124 00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:02,160 its bat leg wings nearly span the two 125 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:03,919 freeway lanes 126 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:07,039 it made no sense to us then 127 00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:10,479 or

00:09:24,000 followed your work on that and all i 249 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:25,760 could really think about was 250 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:28,720 you know these things happen every once 251 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:30,080 in a while and 252 00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,120 you know it started in like 2017 253 00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:35,279 there and they were big in 2018 and then 254 00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:36,640 they sort of 255 00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:38,480 started to peter out and there's 256 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:40,560 probably not going to be many more 257 00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,920 after this at least i mean that's what 258 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,120 i'm thinking because that's how the 259 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,800 waves usually go 260 00:09:49,829 --> 00:09:46,720 and it you know it was making me think 261 00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:49,839 of john keele's window areas 262 00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:53,120 yeah when whenever uh you know a lot of 263 00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:56,880 strange activity happens in in one place 264 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,959 for a period of time and then then you 265 00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:00,399 know all of a sudden here it is and then 266 00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:01,680 all of a sudden you know it kind of kind 267 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:02,959 of stops 268 00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:05,920 um i you know that makes that makes a 269 00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:07,200 whole lot of sense to me that 270 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,800 that there are areas that are a little 271 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:10,320 bit on this planet that are a little bit 272 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:11,839 thinner than the other ones and things 273 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:13,440 leak through it from time to time 274 00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:16,399 yeah it seems that way and uh you know 275 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:16,720 that 276 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:19,760 this though 277 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:21,519 you know we may not never be able to 278 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:22,800 figure out what this was 279 00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:25,920 but uh some of the descriptions just 280 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:27,360 some of the uh 281 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:29,200 the things that people described to us 282 00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:31,040 made me believe that these things were 283 00:10:32,949 --> 00:10:31,360 not 284 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:32,959 indigenous and they were coming from 285 00:10:38,710 --> 00:10:35,519 somewhere else 286 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,720 so well right i mean 287 00:10:42,069 --> 00:10:41,040 because uh i

are 425 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,360 entities uh there there there are 426 00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:03,199 probably entities out there 427 00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:06,720 that emulate other entities 428 00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:08,720 so it might not be the tommy knockers 429 00:16:12,629 --> 00:16:10,480 from england who were over here 430 00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,639 it's whatever entities uh you know 431 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:14,160 latched onto the cornish miners that 432 00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:15,279 were uh 433 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:18,240 emulating the emulating those stories or 434 00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:19,680 it could be like a thought-form 435 00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:24,079 manifestation a tulpa yeah 436 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:26,639 yeah i mean you know that that's one 437 00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:29,199 thing i had thought about as well 438 00:16:33,269 --> 00:16:32,639 that i um you know people that come over 439 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:33,279 from 440 00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:34,880 another country and they start 441 00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:37,199 experiencing the same thing 442 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:41,600 may have you know seen or felt phenomena 443 00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,600 and just associated somehow with 444 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:45,920 something that they were familiar with 445 00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:49,440 and somehow created a tulpa 446 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:52,800 and and that i've yes absolutely 447 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:55,920 definitely a possibility that um 448 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:58,079 i've i've placed that sort of thing 449 00:17:02,310 --> 00:16:59,360 along with uh 450 00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:02,320 with black-eyed kids uh because uh 451 00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:03,759 journalist brian bethel 452 00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:07,120 is the first one to to talk online about 453 00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:08,559 about the black-eyed kids and this was 454 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:11,839 back in 98 or 99 i think 455 00:17:17,909 --> 00:17:15,280 and when people caught wind of that when 456 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,919 wind of it you know the discussion went 457 00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:19,120 crazy 458 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:21,760 and all of a sudden people were seeing 459 00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:23,919 black-eyed kids all over the place 460 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:26,400 slenderman which is a completely made-up 461 00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:27,600 entity 462 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:30,799 it was it was fabricated um 463 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:33,200 people started reporting that they had 464 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:34,559 actually seen it 465 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:38,000 right um so i mean yeah 466 00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:41,360 are there is the human mind uh 467 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,600 when it gets fixated on something when 468 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:45,600 it puts a lot of energy 469 00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:47,919 into thinking about a subject does that 470 00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:50,480 subject come to life 471 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:52,400 well you know i believe in that i think 472 00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:54,480 that that may very well be true and you 473 00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:55,919 know you you mentioned 474 00:18:00,630 --> 00:17:59,440 the slender man i i think that you know 475 00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:00,640 the increase of 476 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:03,760 memes are these entity encounters of 477 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:05,039 memes 478 00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:07,679 maybe something that is going to become 479 00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:08,640 a bigger part of 480 00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:11,840 a paranormal investigation now 481 00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:13,840 are people creating thought forms 482 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:15,919 because of their own line all the time 483 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:18,640 and they and they they see these made-up 484 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:19,440 entities 485 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:22,720 will they be uh manifested because of 486 00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:26,160 something someone would think out as 487 00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:29,760 almost like what a poltergeist is 488 00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:31,679 right right the the because i think 489 00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:32,960 human 490 00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:36,480 thought has a lot of power um 491 00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:38,480 there was uh the character john 492 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:39,760 constantine 493 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:43,200 um that was uh it was turned into a film 494 00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:44,880 with with keanu reeves i don't remember 495 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:46,000 what year 496 00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:49,440 but the uh writer 497 00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:53,200 of of constantine um 498 00:19:00,630 --> 00:18:56,960 alan alan something alan moore maybe 499 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:00,640 he had told a story that he was sitting 500 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:02,240 in a coffee shop 501 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:05,520 and a person who 502 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:07,600 it was constantine it was the character 503 00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:09,600 that he created the character that 504 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,600 that he had written he'd conjured this 505 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:13,760 up this fictional character in his head 506 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:16,799 he said that this guy walked past him 507 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:19,919 in a coffee shop ordered a cup of coffee 508 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:22,080 and when he was leaving turned around 509 00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:24,160 and looked him right in the eye and 510 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,039 nodded and 511 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:27,679 walked out the door was that just a 512 00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,039 coincidence a guy who 513 00:19:33,110 --> 00:19:31,200 looked just like the character that he 514 00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:33,120 created 515 00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:36,880 or yeah or was was did he 516 00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:39,919 you know did he actually 517 00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:43,120 create something physical um i i 518 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:45,360 i you know i think that sort of thing's 519 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:46,640 possible because 520 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:50,480 whenever um we start thinking about 521 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:52,080 things a lot you know that 522 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:55,440 they sometimes they kind of happen yeah 523 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:57,600 that's true and you know i do run across 524 00:20:02,549 --> 00:19:59,039 a case here and there but 525 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:02,559 uh you know that closely resembles a 526 00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:04,559 possibility of it being a thought form i 527 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:06,159 mean it's just something that 528 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:09,840 manifests for some unknown reason 529 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:12,559 and of course uh the human that's 530 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:14,320 manifesting has no idea what that 531 00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:15,840 they're doing it 532 00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:19,280 and uh it just becomes 533 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:22,080 bigger than life apparently but it's a 534 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:22,480 lot of 535 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:25,440 it no it does happen i think right i did 536 00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:26,640 and but 537 00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:30,000 let me go because i am um 538 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:33,120 right uh you know at my base 539 00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:36,240 uh i'm a skeptical person because i 540 00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:39,360 i want science to prove things uh i'm 541 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:41,360 i'm not gonna say i believe in bigfoot 542 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:43,360 because i want science to show me the 543 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:44,159 body 544 00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:46,240 um do i think it's possible bigfoot 545 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:47,360 exists i 546 00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:48,960 of all the cryptids i think that one's 547 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:51,280 one of the you know the most ones the uh 548 00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:52,720 there's the most evidence showing yeah 549 00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:54,159 it probably does 550 00:20:57,830 --> 00:20:56,320 but still i want to see the evidence 551 00:21:00,390 --> 00:20:57,840 before i say 100 100 552 00:21:01,669 --> 00:21:00,400 that that's what i'm i'm sure of so i 553 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:01,679 mean there are also 554 00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:04,320 things uh the that the human mind does 555 00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:05,600 like 556 00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:07,919 for example my wife and i uh two years 557 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:11,200 ago bought a uh about a ford escape 558 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:13,840 and you know frankly i never could 559 00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:16,320 remember seeing what a ford escape was i 560 00:21:19,430 --> 00:21:17,600 we went to the lot and i'm like yeah 561 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:19,440 it's a nice car oh my gosh it drives 562 00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:20,320 well 563 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:22,480 uh i like what the mileage is it's got a 564 00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:25,280 good record yeah yeah i like this car 565 00:21:29,669 --> 00:21:28,159 and when we got back to the town a small 566 00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:29,679 town where we live 567 00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:32,400 i saw ford escapes everywhere yeah 568 00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:34,880 meaning they were already there 569 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:38,000 i just never noticed them you know until 570 00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:40,559 i knew what to look for 571 00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:41,919 so i mean i mean a lot of this 572 00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:44,000 paranormal stuff could be that as 573 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:47,440 as well we didn't know what to see 574 00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:50,400 until we we knew until we knew it it 575 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:52,159 reminds me do you ever read any douglas 576 00:21:58,230 --> 00:21:55,200 adams hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy 577 00:21:59,350 --> 00:21:58,240 no i didn't i never read the book okay 578 00:22:01,590 --> 00:21:59,360 and well in one of his 579 00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:01,600 um one of his later hitchhiker guide 580 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:04,000 books i think that maybe the fifth one 581 00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:04,559 in his 582 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:08,240 trilogy that's part of the joke he um 583 00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:10,720 wrote about an alien landing a spaceship 584 00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:11,520 right in a 585 00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:14,559 really populated area and 586 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:17,280 the human he was there to to get said 587 00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:18,640 aren't you worried about people seeing 588 00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:19,520 the spaceship 589 00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:22,480 and the aliens said no this is somebody 590 00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:23,760 else's problem 591 00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:26,960 humans will see something 592 00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:29,360 out of the ordinary but their minds will 593 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:30,720 immediately reject it 594 00:22:35,029 --> 00:22:33,280 because somebody else will will see it 595 00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:35,039 and do something about it it's their 596 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:37,440 problem it's not mine 597 00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:40,799 which uh yeah that really i think 598 00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:41,600 happens a lot 599 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:43,919 i think that does happen i i agree with 600 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:45,520 you 601 00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:51,360 it's in as far as cryptids go let's put 602 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:52,320 it that way 603 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:53,840 do you think people are actually 604 00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:55,600 witnessing in uh 605 00:22:59,830 --> 00:22:58,000 indigenous creatures or are these 606 00:23:01,669 --> 00:22:59,840 possible corporeal 607 00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:01,679 cryptids that are finding their way on 608 00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:04,080 earth plane 609 00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:06,799 it well it really depends it really 610 00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:07,919 depends on the creature 611 00:23:13,590 --> 00:23:11,840 when it comes to bigfoot i've i've 612 00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:13,600 read a lot and and i've listened to a 613 00:23:16,310 --> 00:23:15,280 lot of people and i've had discussions 614 00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:16,320 with people 615 00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:18,960 who are convinced that that bigfoot is 616 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:21,039 an interdimensional being and they they 617 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,600 pop in and pop out of dimensions i've 618 00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:24,880 talked to people who are 619 00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:27,840 certain because of all the bigfoot 620 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:28,640 sightings that 621 00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:31,440 correspond with you know ufo sightings 622 00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:31,840 that 623 00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:34,640 something's there uh i'm the type of 624 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:35,360 person that 625 00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:38,720 is more uh i think bigfoot 626 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:40,480 if he exists and like i said i think he 627 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:42,320 really very well could 628 00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:46,000 it is more of a flesh and blood thing 629 00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:49,120 i mean because it leaves physical traces 630 00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:49,760 it leaves 631 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:52,320 footprints uh deep footprints with 632 00:23:54,549 --> 00:23:54,240 dermal ridges which that really excites 633 00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:54,559 me 634 00:23:59,830 --> 00:23:57,120 that it will leave scat and blood and 635 00:24:03,830 --> 00:24:02,070 there are people who claim to have taken 636 00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:03,840 a shot at it and some who claim to to 637 00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:04,960 have shot it 638 00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:08,559 um i i really do think that that bigfoot 639 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:08,960 is 640 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,000 corporeal it's it's flesh and blood 641 00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:18,480 but how does it disappear well that's 642 00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:19,200 just it 643 00:24:23,269 --> 00:24:21,679 that's why you know i had of course i 644 00:24:25,029 --> 00:24:23,279 had my encounter 645 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:25,039 i had no doubt that this thing was 646 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:26,960 flushing blood 647 00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:30,640 but i also have heard so too many it's 648 00:24:34,390 --> 00:24:32,799 put that way too many cases 649 00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:34,400 where these things just suddenly 650 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:36,400 disappear or just 651 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:40,640 manifest in front of somebody uh 652 00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:44,320 are these corporeal beings that come 653 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:46,240 from another 654 00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:49,760 dimension or universe where they come 655 00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:50,799 through some type of 656 00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:53,520 portal of some type i don't know i mean 657 00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:54,080 you know 658 00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:55,760 this this thing with what happened in 659 00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:57,279 chicago 660 00:25:00,710 --> 00:25:00,080 with these wing humanoids you know we 661 00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:00,720 have had 662 00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:04,880 two reports out of all the reports where 663 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:08,480 these beings would suddenly disappear 664 00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:11,520 just like it went through a doorway and 665 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:12,840 just 666 00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:16,559 vanish so 667 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,960 yeah but that's that's that's different 668 00:25:24,630 --> 00:25:20,720 from from bigfoot 669 00:25:27,029 --> 00:25:24,640 um uh bigfoot for for one if 670 00:25:28,149 --> 00:25:27,039 anybody spent you know time in in the 671 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,159 woods especially 672 00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:30,559 thick woods there have been plenty of 673 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:32,320 times to where i have been 674 00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:35,440 within a couple of feet of a deer and i 675 00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:36,559 didn't know it until 676 00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:40,720 and took off right and deer aren't small 677 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:42,000 animals i mean they're not bigfoot 678 00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:43,440 size of course but they're not small 679 00:25:49,669 --> 00:25:46,480 animals i didn't see it 680 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:49,679 and what other animals are within 10 681 00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:50,720 feet of me 682 00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:52,880 and i have no clue they're there all 683 00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:53,760 right the same 684 00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:55,360 i mean same could be you know it could 685 00:26:01,110 --> 00:25:57,840 be you know with with bigfoot it's just 686 00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:01,120 not only um does the you know 687 00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:03,039 the color in the hair would would make 688 00:26:08,710 --> 00:26:06,000 it uh easy to blend in with the foliage 689 00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:08,720 uh even though it's so big it you know 690 00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:09,279 it's 691 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:12,159 from all accounts pretty intelligent 692 00:26:15,510 --> 00:26:12,960 well my 693 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:15,520 my theory on bigfoot is that i do 694 00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:18,240 believe that there are indigenous 695 00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:21,360 bigfoot in other words these are bigfoot 696 00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:23,760 that our flesh and blood live on this 697 00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:24,960 earth 698 00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:26,960 in certain areas like the pacific 699 00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:28,240 northwest 700 00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:31,520 possibly down in florida some parts of 701 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:35,840 the deep south but 702 00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:38,320 i do believe for the most part what 703 00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:40,320 people are seeing like where i live at 704 00:26:45,269 --> 00:26:42,320 here in pennsylvania 705 00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:45,279 and in the upper midwest and such i 706 00:26:50,470 --> 00:26:46,720 think 707 00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:50,480 i i really believe sincerely that these 708 00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:53,120 are some type of other being these are 709 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,960 beings that are coming from another 710 00:27:01,750 --> 00:26:56,480 reality 711 00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:01,760 and you know that's definitely that 712 00:27:06,789 --> 00:27:03,440 that's that definitely could 713 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:06,799 could be i'm just i'm i'm hesitant 714 00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:09,279 yeah i understand why you're coming yeah 715 00:27:11,669 --> 00:27:10,080 yeah yeah 716 00:27:13,510 --> 00:27:11,679 because i mean that's that's explaining 717 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:13,520 an unknown with another unknown because 718 00:27:17,029 --> 00:27:14,320 right 719 00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:17,039 yeah i mean you know mathematically and 720 00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:17,360 and 721 00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:19,600 you know scientists have said yes there 722 00:27:22,389 --> 00:27:20,880 are other dimensions 723 00:27:24,549 --> 00:27:22,399 there definitely are you know quantum 724 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:24,559 mechanics have shown that 725 00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:27,360 but that's math and you know we don't 726 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:28,159 know 100 727 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:31,360 for sure that that's right uh 728 00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:33,279 but when you when you break it down i 729 00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:34,399 mean 730 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:36,799 given the fact that bigfoot just does it 731 00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:39,200 disappears sometimes and then reappears 732 00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,960 or sometimes the footprints it's 733 00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:42,320 definitely leaving 734 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:44,399 all of a sudden just stop yeah that's 735 00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:45,360 another thing 736 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:47,520 where'd it go where did this thing go 737 00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:49,120 you know that's interesting because the 738 00:27:55,110 --> 00:27:52,240 the late great jc johnson 739 00:27:56,630 --> 00:27:55,120 you know he and i were friends and he he 740 00:27:58,470 --> 00:27:56,640 would tell me 741 00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,480 i you know i'd be tracking this bigfoot 742 00:28:01,750 --> 00:28:00,080 and all of a sudden it looked like the 743 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,760 thing sprouted wings and took off 744 00:28:06,549 --> 00:28:03,360 because the 745 00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:06,559 you know the footprints just ended 746 00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:08,799 you know it's uh and that's happened and 747 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:10,159 i've heard that from other people as 748 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:11,600 well 749 00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:14,000 so uh you know how do you explain that 750 00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:15,200 phenomena 751 00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:17,120 that if this thing is eight feet tall 752 00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:18,240 and weighs you know 753 00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:21,440 600 pounds it didn't jump 754 00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:24,799 no no so right yeah 755 00:28:28,710 --> 00:28:27,840 i mean like i said i i i in my opinion 756 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:28,720 it's it's you know 757 00:28:33,110 --> 00:28:30,960 flesh and blood animal but all the i 758 00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:33,120 mean there are so many 759 00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:35,360 problems with that just just what we 760 00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:37,039 just talked about that don't 761 00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:39,279 really fit in with with the this is 762 00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:42,240 flesh flesh and blood and indigenous 763 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:45,440 but then we have you know the stories uh 764 00:28:48,630 --> 00:28:47,120 native american stories and you know 765 00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:48,640 first nation stories

--> 00:28:56,799 didn't consider them animals 770 00:29:01,269 --> 00:28:58,880 for the most part they were just another 771 00:29:03,590 --> 00:29:01,279 tribe of people big hairy people 772 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:03,600 and although sometimes the the the 773 00:29:08,549 --> 00:29:04,720 bigfoot would you know 774 00:29:11,830 --> 00:29:08,559 steal a kid or or a woman or a man 775

00:31:34,080 we're all one big human family 832 00:31:37,269 --> 00:31:36,880 maybe that's why the dna uh keeps coming 833 00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:37,279 back 834 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:40,799 as human because they are i mean 835 00:31:47,029 --> 00:31:44,159 two legs two arms you know a 836 00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:47,039 neck head two eyes and nostril with two 837 00:31:50,549 --> 00:31:47,519 you know 838 00:31:51,029 --> 00:31:50,559 or a nose with two nostrils a mouth you 839 00:31:53,430 --> 00:31:51,039 know 840 00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:53,440 all of that or those are all human you 841 00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:55,840 know structural attributes 842 00:31:59,190 --> 00:31:57,679 why couldn't they all be human well they 843 00:32:03,110 --> 00:31:59,200 could be i mean you know 844 00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:03,120 you you hear this um this term 845 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:05,519 that gets bounced around genetics junk 846 00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:06,480 dna 847 00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:14,640 what it is 848 00:32:21,430 --> 00:32:18,320 right exactly i mean that could be the 849 00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:21,440 anomalous dna in all of us absolutely 850 00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:23,919 yeah absolutely i mean you know that you 851 00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:24,799 keep hearing about the 852 00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:28,320 the missing link well you know i 853 00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:30,720 i you know i do believe in evolution for 854 00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:31,919 the most part 855 00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:33,760 but i think there was an intervention 856 00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:35,519 somewhere down the line 857 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:39,039 uh it it just seems to me 858 00:32:43,909 --> 00:32:41,600 impossible not to believe that there was 859 00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:43,919 intervention somewhere down the line 860 00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:47,840 uh it's a fascinating idea yes it is 861 00:32:52,389 --> 00:32:50,720 uh we it's hard to explain i mean it's 862 00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:52,399 you know 863 00:32:55,590 --> 00:32:53,760 you can think about it and drive 864 00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:55,600 yourself crazy sometimes 865 00:33:00,389 --> 00:32:58,559 but uh you know i think about it a lot i 866 00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:00,399 really do and i agree with you 867 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:03,519 i mean there are possibilities 868 00:33:08,789 --> 00:33:06,960 there maybe now we can't explain it but 869 00:33:10,710 --> 00:33:08,799 who's to say one of these days somebody 870 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:10,720 isn't going to figure it out 871 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:13,360 right and this is i mean looking back at 872 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:15,600 science from 150 years ago the things 873 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:16,880 that they thought and the things that 874 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:19,600 they believed and they were sure 875 00:33:26,149 --> 00:33:22,960 that was the truth is laughable 876 00:33:26,549 --> 00:33:26,159 in a lot of cases well in 150 years from 877 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:26,559 now 878 00:33:32,789 --> 00:33:31,200 telling people that are the truth 879 00:33:34,389 --> 00:33:32,799 are going to be laughable to the to the 880 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:34,399 people in the future 881 00:33:40,470 --> 00:33:37,679 so all of the reasons that that 882 00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:40,480 you know and again i love science but 883 00:33:43,509 --> 00:33:42,399 all the all the reasons that the science 884 00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:43,519 is telling us that 885 00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:46,240 bigfoot can't exist and and uh you know 886 00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:48,320 chupacabra can't exist and the thylacine 887 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:49,760 is definitely dead 888 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,399 and you know all of this is is probably 889 00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:54,480 going to be laughable at some point 890 00:33:58,310 --> 00:33:56,480 maybe 150 years from now they'll dig up 891 00:33:59,110 --> 00:33:58,320 the old podcast and say hey they were 892 00:34:02,549 --> 00:33:59,120 actually right they 893 00:34:04,549 --> 00:34:02,559 were right yes 894 00:34:07,669 --> 00:34:04,559 man that often strickler knew what they 895 00:34:10,310 --> 00:34:07,679 were talking about 896 00:34:12,149 --> 00:34:10,320 now you're right since you're a resident 897 00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:12,159 of missouri 898 00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:14,879 and that you write a lot about your 899 00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:16,879 state's strange anomalies 900 00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:20,480 i have to tell you that the underground 901 00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:21,520 reptilian 902 00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:24,560 encounter at carthage probably creeped 903 00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:26,800 me out more than anything else 904 00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:31,040 oh yeah i i know i i agree that is uh 905 00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:33,200 yeah that's a terrific story some guys 906 00:34:36,310 --> 00:34:34,720 were writing because there's 907 00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:36,320 there was a whole lot of coal mining 908 00:34:38,950 --> 00:34:37,760 down there and there are a lot of 909 00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:38,960 abandoned mines 910 00:34:44,149 --> 00:34:42,000 right actually um 911 00:34:45,190 --> 00:34:44,159 oh i can't remember the name of the 912 00:34:48,790 --> 00:34:45,200 serial killer but 913 00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:48,800 he went uh people called him mad dog uh 914 00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:51,040 it was made in how his story was made 915 00:34:57,510 --> 00:34:53,200 into the movie the hitchhiker 916 00:34:59,750 --> 00:34:57,520 uh wow back in 1950 something anyway 917 00:35:00,950 --> 00:34:59,760 he used he used those caves too to dump 918 00:35:04,390 --> 00:35:00,960 bodies 919 00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:04,400 but but um yeah some some people some 920 00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:06,079 guys were you know riding four wheelers 921 00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:07,200 down there 922 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:10,320 and they came to a part of the cave that 923 00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:13,440 you know people had you know like built 924 00:35:16,150 --> 00:35:15,040 into a tunnel you know a tunnel with 925 00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:16,160 concrete 926 00:35:20,069 --> 00:35:18,160 and yeah then they they encountered a 927 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:20,079 reptilian down there that's 928 00:35:23,349 --> 00:35:22,800 you know scares the hell out of me yeah 929 00:35:26,790 --> 00:35:23,359 there 930 00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:26,800 offshoots of that thing and a lot of 931 00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:28,960 connotations about it 932 00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:32,320 uh i had some guy tell me one time that 933 00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:34,640 he had actually 934 00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:37,760 uh been on an underground river 935 00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:40,160 in that area and he came across these 936 00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:41,599 reptilians 937 00:35:46,150 --> 00:35:44,800 as well i you know i don't know what to 938 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:46,160 believe as far as that because there but 939 00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:46,800 that was 940 00:35:53,030 --> 00:35:50,160 that ever came out of missouri but there 941 00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:53,040 is another phenomenon another story 942 00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:57,040 in missouri that maybe you can tell 943 00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:59,119 the listeners about and that is the 944 00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:00,720 butterfly people 945 00:36:07,430 --> 00:36:04,000 of joplin right uh 946 00:36:11,109 --> 00:36:07,440 when joplin had its uh tornado back in 947 00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:11,119 11 2011 i think uh i think it was an f4 948 00:36:16,230 --> 00:36:12,160 it might have been an 949 00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:16,240 f5 um it just it did tore joplin up 950 00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:19,520 the pictures are heartbreaking um 951 00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:21,760 but i think only like 150 people died 952 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:23,760 which given the destruction was pretty 953 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:24,960 amazing 954 00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:28,320 but there came you know after 955 00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:30,240 you know the rescue rescues were 956 00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:31,920 happening people happening people were 957 00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:34,160 pulled out of rubble 958 00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:36,400 the hospitals were filling up and 959 00:36:40,069 --> 00:36:38,400 everything you know 960 00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:40,079 people were getting time to breathe and 961 00:36:44,230 --> 00:36:42,240 start talking 962 00:36:46,710 --> 00:36:44,240 there were a lot of children who started 963 00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:46,720 talking about the butterfly people 964 00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:49,760 uh and and it'd be cases like 965 00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:52,480 uh there was one case a a mom was 966 00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:53,359 driving 967 00:36:57,270 --> 00:36:56,640 and her her child was like four years 968 00:36:58,870 --> 00:36:57,280 old 969 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:58,880 uh strapped in the car seat in the back 970 00:37:01,750 --> 00:37:00,720 seat and she was she was trying to get 971 00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:01,760 away 972 00:37:07,109 --> 00:37:05,200 and the car started moving in a way that 973 00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:07,119 she hadn't anticipated 974 00:37:11,589 --> 00:37:09,119 and and she thought that you know well 975 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:11,599 the tornadoes grabbed me were dead 976 00:37:16,790 --> 00:37:15,119 but the car was moved out of the path of 977 00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:16,800 the tornado 978 00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:19,200 and you know the mom was like oh my god 979 00:37:23,829 --> 00:37:21,280 thank thank you god for this and 980 00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:23,839 um when she started talking to her to 981 00:37:29,349 --> 00:37:26,400 her kid about are you okay 982 00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:29,359 the child said yes i i'm fine because of 983 00:37:34,310 --> 00:37:31,200 the butterfly people 984 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:34,320 that the the kids said that people 985 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:37,440 with butterfly wings had 986 00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:39,680 picked up the back of the car and moved 987 00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:40,960 the vehicle out of the way of the 988 00:37:45,349 --> 00:37:42,960 tornado 989 00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:45,359 there was another case of of a dad 990 00:37:50,310 --> 00:37:46,800 running with his child 991 00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:50,320 and about ready to dive in a ditch and 992 00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:53,680 this huge piece of a building was thrown 993 00:38:00,870 --> 00:37:57,760 and should have crushed them but it 994 00:38:03,109 --> 00:38:00,880 how they landed uh and how the 995 00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:03,119 the the part of the building that landed 996 00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:04,400 on top of them 997 00:38:08,630 --> 00:38:06,240 it landed in a way to where it didn't 998 00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:08,640 crush them and the child said that 999 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:11,440 he had seen a butterfly a person with 1000 00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:13,200 butterfly wings 1001 00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:15,680 holding on to the part of building the 1002 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:17,200 part of the building and setting it down 1003 00:38:21,030 --> 00:38:19,200 softly instead of letting it crash onto 1004 00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:21,040 them and there were a lot of other 1005 00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:23,440 other cases you know very similar to 1006 00:38:28,150 --> 00:38:25,200 that 1007 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:28,160 it's a fascinating story i mean you you 1008 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:29,599 want to believe that 1009 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:31,680 well maybe they saw angels or maybe 1010 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:32,720 these were 1011 00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:35,760 large fairies of some type you know i 1012 00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:37,359 you know i don't know what to equate it 1013 00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:40,079 to i've always been interested in 1014 00:38:46,470 --> 00:38:44,000 in wing beans wing humanoids but 1015 00:38:48,069 --> 00:38:46,480 you know the fact that kids were seeing 1016 00:38:50,069 --> 00:38:48,079 these things and 1017 00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:50,079 that they had come to the rescues of 1018 00:38:56,870 --> 00:38:51,760 other people and 1019 00:38:59,990 --> 00:38:56,880 tried to um help people avoid disaster 1020 00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:00,000 it's such a strange story and i quite 1021 00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:02,160 frankly i can't really think of any 1022 00:39:08,310 --> 00:39:04,240 other story 1023 00:39:10,550 --> 00:39:08,320 even that equates to that 1024 00:39:12,790 --> 00:39:10,560 right now with butterfly people i i 1025 00:39:14,950 --> 00:39:12,800 can't either and and i did some looking 1026 00:39:16,870 --> 00:39:14,960 for it as well and and i couldn't see 1027 00:39:19,030 --> 00:39:16,880 anything that equated to that 1028 00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:19,040 but it was it was just the kids the kids 1029 00:39:23,589 --> 00:39:20,400 were the only people who 1030 00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:23,599 saw it adults did not see it which which 1031 00:39:26,950 --> 00:39:24,960 also 1032 00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:26,960 you know makes sense because you know 1033 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:28,960 kids report seeing ghosts they report 1034 00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:31,280 seeing you know shadow people more than 1035 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:33,040 uh more than adults do 1036 00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:34,400 and and they report seeing a lot of 1037 00:39:40,630 --> 00:39:37,200 weird things more than adults do 1038 00:39:41,349 --> 00:39:40,640 and you know i really seriously think 1039 00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:41,359 that 1040 00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:47,440 i i've done so many paranormal 1041 00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:49,440 investigations where the kid just tells 1042 00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:50,400 you 1043 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:53,920 know 1044 00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:56,160 it it leaves you dumbfounded but you 1045 00:39:58,950 --> 00:39:57,200 know 1046 00:40:01,990 --> 00:39:58,960 they aren't lying to you they saw 1047 00:40:03,349 --> 00:40:02,000 something and they reacted to it somehow 1048 00:40:06,030 --> 00:40:03,359 and um 1049 00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:06,040 yeah i mean i guess it's the 1050 00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:09,040 unadulterated mind of a child 1051 00:40:14,630 --> 00:40:12,800 that it sees something and 1052 00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:14,640 something's not is telling it not 1053 00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:16,079 telling it that you 1054 00:40:21,109 --> 00:40:18,960 you aren't seeing this right and i don't 1055 00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:21,119 know if it's is it something in the eye 1056 00:40:25,349 --> 00:40:22,880 that changes over time is it something 1057 00:40:28,069 --> 00:40:25,359 in the brain that changes over time 1058 00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:28,079 or is it just the fact that over time 1059 00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:28,720 people 1060 00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:30,160 you know children get it beaten in their 1061 00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:32,640 head that yeah ghosts don't exist 1062 00:40:37,430 --> 00:40:35,119 yeah you know it it could

we didn't get that house of course 1105 00:42:11,510 --> 00:42:09,520 yeah i can understand that i have had 1106 00:42:15,109 --> 00:42:11,520 people that you know have small 1107 00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:15,119 kids and uh you know 1108 00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:17,680 the parent will be there and the kids 1109 00:42:21,829 --> 00:42:19,839 tell them monsters monsters 1110 00:42:23,349 --> 00:42:21,839 and they're looking around they can't 1111 00:42:26,550 --> 00:42:23,359 see anything and 1112 00:42:28,950 --> 00:42:26,560 it causes so much you know 1113 00:42:30,069 --> 00:42:28,960 stress on the parent when these kids are 1114 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:30,079 scared to death 1115 00:42:36,069 --> 00:42:33,359 but they're seeing something right 1116 00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:36,079 yeah absolutely i i listen i listen to 1117 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:37,200 kids when they talk about 1118 00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:40,560 stuff like that that's what you do now 1119 00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:43,920 does it seem to you that there are more 1120 00:42:48,150 --> 00:42:46,640 been more bizarre eyewitness reports 1121 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:48,160 currently being filed 1122 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:49,839 i mean as opposed to maybe just a few 1123 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:52,000 years ago it just seems to me that 1124 00:42:56,230 --> 00:42:53,040 there's a lot 1125 00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:56,240 weirder things going on well okay i 1126 00:42:59,670 --> 00:42:57,119 don't know if 1127 00:43:00,390 --> 00:42:59,680 there actually are a lot weirder things 1128 00:43:03,190 --> 00:43:00,400 going on 1129 00:43:03,589 --> 00:43:03,200 or the fact that with the proclivity of 1130 00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:03,599 uh 1131 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:07,200 paranormal shows on tv and how accepted 1132 00:43:10,870 --> 00:43:09,839 the topics become is that people feel 1133 00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:10,880 more comfortable 1134 00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:12,800 in talking about it well that may very 1135 00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:14,560 well be and of course with the internet 1136 00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:15,760 as well too 1137 00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:18,000 yeah when i wrote my my first book on 1138 00:43:23,829 --> 00:43:20,240 the paranormal haunted missouri back in 1139 00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:23,839 well that was 11 years ago 2007 um 1140 00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:26,400 i ran into a lot of people who said yeah 1141 00:43:31,589 --> 00:43:27,200 i 1142 00:43:33,430 --> 00:43:31,599 of me 1143 00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:33,440 and by the time i got to the second and 1144 00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:35,040 third book 1145 00:43:40,710 --> 00:43:38,560 everybody was open so i i think that has 1146 00:43:42,230 --> 00:43:40,720 something to do with it and but i also 1147 00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:42,240 wouldn't discount the fact that maybe 1148 00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:43,760 more weird stuff is happening 1149 00:43:48,150 --> 00:43:47,040 yeah i know it just seems to me and you 1150 00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:48,160 know i 1151 00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:52,000 it just seems to me that people are 1152 00:43:58,950 --> 00:43:55,520 recognizing more bizarre type of 1153 00:44:00,230 --> 00:43:58,960 phenomena now i i don't i can't explain 1154 00:44:06,790 --> 00:44:00,240 that 1155 00:44:09,990 --> 00:44:06,800 something i would have never received 1156 00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:13,190 why is that i have no idea 1157 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:16,160 okay well i mean uh again it could be 1158 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:18,000 either one or it could be a combination 1159 00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:18,480 of both 1160 00:44:22,069 --> 00:44:20,400 maybe yeah maybe things more things are 1161 00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:22,079 happening or 1162 00:44:27,349 --> 00:44:25,200 uh as again as i found out you know 1163 00:44:28,470 --> 00:44:27,359 people thought jason's not gonna make 1164 00:44:30,470 --> 00:44:28,480 fun of me 1165 00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:30,480 i've read his work i know what he's 1166 00:44:35,430 --> 00:44:32,880 doing he's gonna treat me 1167 00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:35,440 you know he's gonna treat me well and 1168 00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:37,040 and and i think that could could be 1169 00:44:43,589 --> 00:44:40,400 it that may be it that may be it 1170 00:44:46,950 --> 00:44:43,599 yeah or maybe you know one of the things 1171 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:46,960 that has always amazed me and it's 1172 00:44:50,550 --> 00:44:47,440 gotten 1173 00:44:52,550 --> 00:44:50,560 so much worse which which is counter to 1174 00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:52,560 what we just talked about 1175 00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:55,440 is when people are walking i observed 1176 00:45:00,390 --> 00:44:56,560 this in college 1177 00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:00,400 way back you know in 1872 1178 00:45:03,670 --> 00:45:03,359 is that if somebody's walking they might 1179 00:45:07,750 --> 00:45:03,680 be 1180 00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:07,760 know reading or talking to a friend or 1181

blinked that 1448 00:55:04,230 --> 00:55:02,400 broke the shock i was in 1449 00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:04,240 and i turned around walked back into my 1450 00:55:08,470 --> 00:55:06,400 bedroom and shut the door 1451 00:55:10,069 --> 00:55:08,480 and i eventually went came came out and 1452 00:55:14,309 --> 00:55:10,079 he was gone of course 1453 00:55:16,789 --> 00:55:14,319 but that made me think

1457 00:55:23,910 --> 00:55:21,359 curious 1458 00:55:25,589 --> 00:55:23,920 it was like okay so ghosts really do 1459 00:55:29,750 --> 00:55:25,599 exist 1460 00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:29,760 when you die there's something after it 1461 00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:32,880 i want to find out what's going on 1462 00:55:38,069 --> 00:55:36,000 and so that that's why when i got 1463 00:55:40,470 --> 00:55:38,079 old enough i started researching these 1464 00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:40,480 subjects 1465 00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:42,720 well you know you wrote darkness walks 1466 00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:44,400 the shadow people among us 1467 00:55:51,430 --> 00:55:48,240 and you know i i i read that book 1468 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:51,440 many years ago and i've had clients that 1469 00:55:55,349 --> 00:55:52,079 have had 1470 00:55:56,950 --> 00:55:55,359 these shadow people encounters what do 1471 00:55:57,670 --> 00:55:56,960 you believe the shadow people are 1472 00:55:58,870 --> 00:55:57,680 because 1473 00:56:00,710 --> 00:55:58,880 i get all kinds of different 1474 00:56:02,710 --> 00:56:00,720 explanations from people 1475 00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:02,720 i have my own opinions but what do you 1476 00:56:07,670 --> 00:56:04,480 think shadow persons are 1477 00:56:11,109 --> 00:56:07,680 i i interviewed 1478 00:56:14,470 --> 00:56:11,119 at least 250 people for the book 1479 00:56:16,950 --> 00:56:14,480 i didn't include all of them because 1480 00:56:18,309 --> 00:56:16,960 some of them i i thought it was um you 1481 00:56:25,270 --> 00:56:18,319 know 1482 00:56:27,270 --> 00:56:25,280 but i i included a whole lot i 1483 00:56:30,549 --> 00:56:27,280 came to the conclusion that shadow 1484 00:56:33,030 --> 00:56:30,559 people are probably a lot of things 1485 00:56:33,910 --> 00:56:33,040 that just look the same you know shadow 1486 00:56:37,430 --> 00:56:33,920 people 1487 00:56:38,230 --> 00:56:37,440 are human you know blacker than night 1488 00:56:40,630 --> 00:56:38,240 human shaped 1489 00:56:42,390 --> 00:56:40,640 shadows generally they appear 1490 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:42,400 two-dimensional 1491 00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:44,640 some of them just walk through a 1492 00:56:50,390 --> 00:56:47,200 person's life not paying attention 1493 00:56:52,309 --> 00:56:50,400 never noticing the person like never 1494 00:56:54,150 --> 00:56:52,319 noticing the person who sees them 1495 00:56:56,309 --> 00:56:54,160 then there are those that notice the 1496 00:56:57,270 --> 00:56:56,319 person watching them get scared and run 1497 00:56:58,870 --> 00:56:57,280 away 1498 00:57:00,710 --> 00:56:58,880 then there are shadow people that seem 1499 00:57:03,589 --> 00:57:00,720 to observe 1500 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:03,599 people watching them and then there are 1501 00:57:07,270 --> 00:57:06,240 shadows with red eyes that terrify those 1502 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:07,280 who see them 1503 00:57:11,190 --> 00:57:09,440 and and they report that it feels like 1504 00:57:11,990 --> 00:57:11,200 they're feeding off the fear that they 1505 00:57:15,270 --> 00:57:12,000 generate 1506 00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:15,280 yeah yeah there's the hat man which is a 1507 00:57:20,950 --> 00:57:17,760 shadow person wearing a fedora 1508 00:57:23,990 --> 00:57:20,960 which stalks people and and 1509 00:57:27,430 --> 00:57:24,000 it also tends to generate fear 1510 00:57:30,630 --> 00:57:27,440 all of all of these things only 1511 00:57:31,829 --> 00:57:30,640 have one thing in common and it's their 1512 00:57:34,870 --> 00:57:31,839 appearance they're 1513 00:57:37,750 --> 00:57:34,880 black they're uh you know 1514 00:57:38,630 --> 00:57:37,760 human shaped and and and that's it you 1515 00:57:41,589 --> 00:57:38,640 can't see 1516 00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:41,599 any features on them on them at all some 1517 00:57:46,069 --> 00:57:43,520 of the behavior seems like a residual 1518 00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:46,079 ghost if somebody sees a shadow person 1519 00:57:49,109 --> 00:57:47,520 every once in a while does the same 1520 00:57:51,430 --> 00:57:49,119 thing walks down the stairs 1521 00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:51,440 takes a left goes into the kitchen and 1522 00:57:54,789 --> 00:57:53,200 disappears 1523 00:57:56,470 --> 00:57:54,799 you know that's definitely sounds like a 1524 00:57:58,150 --> 00:57:56,480 residual ghost 1525 00:57:59,910 --> 00:57:58,160 the the the ones that walk through 1526 00:58:01,750 --> 00:57:59,920 somebody's you know life their living 1527 00:58:04,230 --> 00:58:01,760 room their backyard whatever 1528 00:58:05,670 --> 00:58:04,240 and doesn't take notice you know that 1529 00:58:07,349 --> 00:58:05,680 seems like 1530 00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:07,359 you know somebody's going from place to 1531 00:58:11,270 --> 00:58:09,680 place yeah you know maybe it's a 1532 00:58:13,190 --> 00:58:11,280 you know somebody you know maybe it's 1533 00:58:15,589 --> 00:58:13,200 this is a window area 1534 00:58:17,670 --> 00:58:15,599 and it's just another human being 1535 00:58:18,789 --> 00:58:17,680 walking you know from place to place and 1536 00:58:22,309 --> 00:58:18,799 all we can see is 1537 00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:22,319 is you know the shadow uh or you know 1538 00:58:28,069 --> 00:58:25,760 most of it i interviewed uh 1539 00:58:28,870 --> 00:58:28,079 an exorcist a catholic exorcist i 1540 00:58:31,349 --> 00:58:28,880 interviewed 1541 00:58:32,309 --> 00:58:31,359 an expert in islam an expert in buddhist 1542 00:58:36,390 --> 00:58:32,319 buddhism uh 1543 00:58:39,270 --> 00:58:36,400 hinduism a native american shaman uh 1544 00:58:41,510 --> 00:58:39,280 for all of these except for the the the 1545 00:58:43,670 --> 00:58:41,520 buddhist expert i interviewed 1546 00:58:46,069 --> 00:58:43,680 these all have negative connotations 1547 00:58:50,630 --> 00:58:46,079 they're they're a demonic type being 1548 00:58:53,829 --> 00:58:50,640 that's only meaningless harm so 1549 00:58:55,589 --> 00:58:53,839 i've also a couple of people 1550 00:58:57,670 --> 00:58:55,599 told me they're they're convinced shadow 1551 00:59:00,069 --> 00:58:57,680 people are extraterrestrials but 1552 00:59:00,950 --> 00:59:00,079 you know what isn't but so yeah to 1553 00:59:03,030 --> 00:59:00,960 answer your question 1554 00:59:04,069 --> 00:59:03,040 i i think they're more than one thing 1555 00:59:07,190 --> 00:59:04,079 yeah although that's that's 1556 00:59:08,950 --> 00:59:07,200 probably true i mean i i haven't been 1557 00:59:11,910 --> 00:59:08,960 able to pinpoint and really get a good 1558 00:59:14,069 --> 00:59:11,920 read on myself i i know 1559 00:59:16,069 --> 00:59:14,079 it seems that they do show up in 1560 00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:16,079 dysfunctional situations 1561 00:59:19,430 --> 00:59:18,720 a lot of times or where there's sickness 1562 00:59:22,470 --> 00:59:19,440 or 1563 00:59:24,150 --> 00:59:22,480 whatever 1564 00:59:27,030 --> 00:59:24,160 they seem to you're right they do seem 1565 00:59:29,670 --> 00:59:27,040 to feed off of that type of energy 1566 00:59:30,069 --> 00:59:29,680 well and that's that's one type and and 1567 00:59:35,910 --> 00:59:30,079 i 1568 00:59:38,470 --> 00:59:35,920 and they just walked through my room 1569 00:59:40,710 --> 00:59:38,480 that's all they did took no notice of me 1570 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:40,720 and this happened for a few month period 1571 00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:42,640 but eventually they stopped 1572 00:59:46,789 --> 00:59:45,359 and i was scared because it was like 1573 00:59:48,789 --> 00:59:46,799 what the hell is that 1574 00:59:51,270 --> 00:59:48,799 but it wasn't the type of fear that it 1575 00:59:55,030 --> 00:59:51,280 felt like the entity was generating 1576 00:59:57,349 --> 00:59:55,040 just to feed off of i was just scared 1577 00:59:58,390 --> 00:59:57,359 so i i think you know there there are 1578 01:00:01,670 --> 00:59:58,400 definitely different 1579 01:00:02,630 --> 01:00:01,680 different types so uh what's in the 1580 01:00:05,270 --> 01:00:02,640 future for 1581
