00:04:53,040 local newspaper 24 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:54,960 of a mysterious 25 00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:58,800 winged creature that was being observed 26 00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:02,479 and cited and

argue 30 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:12,160 that the 31 00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,440 um 32 00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:15,840 mothman has been with us forever i've 33 00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:18,080 heard other researchers 34 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,479 uh sort of linking the mystery of the 35 00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:23,199 mothman with mythological 36 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:26,000 birdman creatures and we see 37 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:27,360 historical 38 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,680 evidence of 39 00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:31,840 bird men uh i guess the only way you 40 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:34,000 could describe them is bird men 41 00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:35,440 throughout history 42 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:37,840 most notably of course in ancient egypt 43 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,880 where there are many paintings of some 44 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:43,280 of the egyptian gods which had the body 45 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,160 of a man and the head of a bird 46 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:48,880 and there are also other examples in 47 00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:51,600 other forms of mythology of mysterious 48 00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:53,039 bird men 49 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,720 winged creatures 50 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,880 that were somewhat like a man and 51 00:06:01,029 --> 00:05:58,880 somewhat like a bird 52 00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:01,039 usually depicted with wings 53 00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:02,800 and i also always found it interesting 54 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,440 that the many of the depictions of the 55 00:06:10,790 --> 00:06:07,840 mythological bird men were always sort 56 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:10,800 of warriors with weapons 57 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:12,400 so 58 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:14,080 but for our purposes tonight we're going 59 00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:16,720 to be focusing on where 60 00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:19,759 it began in more modern times the the 61 00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:22,240 legend of the mysterious mothman and 62 00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:23,600 that would be 63 00:06:29,909 --> 00:06:24,360 in 64 00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:29,919 i mentioned that john keel was the 65 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:32,080 original investigator covering the case 66 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:34,720 uh he did so along with local newspaper 67 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,120 reporters who are already covering some 68 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:39,600 of the sightings help 69 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:42,479 now legend has it that the mothman which 70 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:45,280 originated really in point pleasant the 71 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:48,240 original sightings in 1966 legend has 72 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:49,680 that the mothman 73 00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:52,800 lives in a mysterious area near point 74 00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:56,240 pleasant called the tnt area 75 00:07:02,629 --> 00:06:59,759 uh a strange and mysterious place 76 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,639 the tnt area i'm going to share my 77 00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:04,560 screen 78 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:08,160 is the site of former weapons 79 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:11,039 manufacturing facilities that were in 80 00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:13,680 use during world war ii 81 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:14,720 and 82 00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:18,000 if you take a look at the tnt area in 83 00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:19,759 point pleasant 84 00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,000 west virginia uh 85 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:24,319 it this looks like a place a monster 86 00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:26,960 lives that's that's what i'm gonna say 87 00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:29,919 so there are some mysterious underground 88 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,880 facilities uh that people have located 89 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:34,880 in this area 90 00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:38,000 and again these are former munitions 91 00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:41,120 manufacturers that were in use during 92 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:44,560 world war ii now by 1966 most of them 93 00:07:49,029 --> 00:07:47,199 were shut down the area was cordoned off 94 00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:49,039 because there may still be dangerous or 95 00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:52,960 hazardous materials even explosives 96 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:55,680 but it became uh this area became 97 00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:58,479 something of a lover's lane 98 00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,000 if that makes sense 99 00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:02,080 teenagers would drive there hang out 100 00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:04,639 there drink there 101 00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:07,520 and some of the mothman sightings were 102 00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:11,759 in and around this mysterious tnt area 103 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:13,840 as it's called we could see some 104 00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,120 underground 105 00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:17,599 facilities 106 00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:20,319 bunkers of sorts so 107 00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:23,599 uh yes a very mysterious place that 108 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:25,520 some attributed 109 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:29,280 some decided after the mothman was seen 110 00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:32,000 a multitude of times in this area that 111 00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:35,279 this is indeed where the mothman lived 112 00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:38,399 he lived inside these tunnels that are 113 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:42,080 throughout this complex apparently 114 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,880 and 115 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,959 interestingly many of these things are 116 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:46,959 still there if you drive down to point 117 00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:49,120 pleasant west virginia you can just walk 118

--> 00:12:56,880 occasions and was described as being 222 00:13:01,990 --> 00:12:59,279 extremely fast it flew about 100 miles 223 00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:02,000 an hour in flight but it was a clumsy 224 00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:03,040 runner 225 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,320 deputy millard halstead said he had seen 226 00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:08,399 dust in the vicinity of a coal field but 227 00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:10,720 it could have been caused by the bird he 228 00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:11,920 said 229 00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:15,360 but last night 230 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:18,560 i was for getting out of there 231 00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:20,399 the article goes on to state they did 232 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:23,120 just that but the thing followed them 233 00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,279 they said it was hovering over the car 234 00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:27,279 apparently gliding until they reached 235 00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:30,399 the national guard armory on route 62. 236 00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:32,480 we went downtown turned around and went 237 00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:34,959 back and there it was again millet said 238 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,760 it seemed to be waiting on us 239 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:39,839 he said the light gray creature then 240 00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:41,920 scurried through a field it had flown 241 00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:44,160 across the top of the car 242 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:46,160 it is apparently inflated afraid of 243 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,720 light millet reasoned 244 00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:50,480 and maybe 245 00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:52,959 it thought it was scaring us off the 246 00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:54,160 young man 247 00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:55,760 uh the young men said they saw the 248 00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:58,240 creature's eyes which glowed red and 249 00:14:01,509 --> 00:14:00,480 this is an important point because 250 00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:01,519 the 251 00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:09,680 eyes 252 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,320 light shined on it and it seemed to want 253 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:16,639 to get away from the lights they said it 254 00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:19,440 looked like a man with wings 255 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:22,160 but that the head was not an outstanding 256 00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:24,880 characteristics both were slightly pale 257 00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,720 and tired from lack of sleep during the 258 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,480 night following their harrowing 259 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,399 experience they speculated that the 260 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,320 thing was living in the vacant power 261 00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:34,800 plant possibly in one of the huge 262 00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:35,920 boilers 263 00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:37,600 there are pigeons in all the other 264 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:39,920 buildings millet said but not in that 265 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:41,920 one 266 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,800 interesting uh the article goes on the 267 00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:46,480 witness goes on to state if i hadn't 268 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:48,079 seen it well by myself i wouldn't have 269 00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:50,000 said anything scarbory commented but 270 00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:52,480 there were four of us who saw it 271 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,399 they said it didn't resemble a bat in 272 00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:56,480 any way but maybe 273 00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,519 you would visualize as an angel 274 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:01,440 the last time they saw it it was at the 275 00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:05,440 gate of the cece lewis farm on route 62. 276 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:07,279 they heard a sound of wings flapping and 277 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:08,720 they said 278 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:10,880 uh the bird rose straight up like a 279 00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:12,880 helicopter this doesn't have an 280 00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:15,519 explanation to it said it was an animal 281 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:20,629 when asked if they were going back to 282 00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:22,560 look for the creature yes millet said 283 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,040 this afternoon and again tonight today 284 00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:27,839 scarberry said but tonight i don't know 285 00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:29,440 and here we see 286 00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:32,560 the original actual newspaper article 287 00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:35,440 and by the way it's interesting that uh 288 00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:36,800 you know there are collectors of 289 00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:39,759

00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:45,839 could buy 293 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:48,639 framed copies of this original 294 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:51,440 uh newspaper article the first newspaper 295 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:55,199 article about the legendary mysterious 296 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,560 mothman 297 00:16:01,350 --> 00:15:58,720 i find that interesting and i may get 298 00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:01,360 that and hang it on my wall here uh just 299 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,399 as a you know a nod to the history of 300 00:16:08,870 --> 00:16:06,639 these strange phenomenon 301 00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:08,880 interesting to note that if you do 302 00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:11,040 happen to ever go to point pleasant west 303 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:13,920 virginia what you find is a sleepy small 304 00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,880 town 305 00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:16,399 uh that's 306 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:18,560 in all ways that i could see 307 00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:20,000 unremarkable 308 00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:22,240 in other words nothing really stands out 309 00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:24,880 it seems to be a sleepy small town 310 00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:27,519 there's a local diner a local general 311 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:29,519 store it's almost a land that time 312 00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:30,880 forgot 313 00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:32,639 uh but point pleasant because of the 314 00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:36,160 mothman has become a lot like roswell 315 00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:37,120 in that 316 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:41,440 uh there is a mothman museum there uh 317 00:16:47,509 --> 00:16:45,600 i visited and there is a mothman diner 318 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:47,519 which is interesting a whole diner 319 00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:49,440 that's themed with mothman and you can 320 00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:51,680 go and and get a bite to eat and also 321 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:53,600 buy some mothman collectibles like 322 00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:55,680 t-shirts hats pins 323 00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:58,000 uh all kinds of things 324 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:00,480 um and of course they sell some of the 325 00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:03,600 mothman books in that diner and again in 326 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:04,480 the 327 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,600 and it's very interesting that um 328 00:17:23,029 --> 00:17:21,039 later 329 00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:23,039 john keel and others 330 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:24,880 the original investigator would 331 00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:27,600 speculate that the sightings 332 00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:29,600 of the mothman in the point pleasant 333 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:32,000 area had something to do with the 334 00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:35,039 impending bridge tragedy that would 335 00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:36,000 happen 336 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:37,760 um and 337 00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:39,520 interestingly enough 338 00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:41,679 it has been said by many people that 339 00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:44,240 sightings of the mothman are a harbinger 340 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:46,799 of tragedy to come 341 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:48,320 and this has of course led to 342 00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:50,799 speculation that these are some sort of 343 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:53,760 uh warning angel warning 344 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:56,160 or interdimensional being warning of 345 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:57,280 impending 346 00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:00,000 death and catastrophic doom there have 347 00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:02,240 been mothman sightings apparently at the 348 00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:05,120 fukushima plant before that happened 349 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:06,080 um 350 00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:08,880 and also in russia 351 00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:12,160 uh and many other tragic events 911 352 00:18:15,990 --> 00:18:14,080 people claim there was mothman sightings 353 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:16,000 right before 9 11. 354 00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:18,000 an interesting side note to the mothman 355 00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:20,080 phenomenon is that 356 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:22,880 when there becomes a hot spot of mothman 357 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,880 sightings shortly thereafter there 358 00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:26,160 generally 359 00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:29,039 tends to be a 360 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:31,120 big tragedy happen 361 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:33,280 in the case of point pleasant it was a 362 00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:34,799 bridge collapse 363 00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:35,840 now the 364 00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:38,400 the bridge collapse would later be shown 365 00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:39,520 to be 366 00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:40,400 not 367 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:42,160 attributable to supernatural means of 368 00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:45,280 course but but structural error 369 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,160 um 370 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:47,840 but nonetheless 371 00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:50,320 john keel believed that people connected 372 00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:52,559 the mothman sightings to 373 00:18:57,029 --> 00:18:55,039 the silver bridge tragedy because they 374 00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:57,039 were trying to make sense of a senseless 375 00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:58,240 event 376 00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:00,400 um and and more on john keel because i 377 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:02,960 think it's important that we recognize 378 00:19:07,070 --> 00:19:05,520 john keele's role in popular a lot 379 00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:07,080 popular 380 00:19:14,789 --> 00:19:12,080 of the mysterious mothman 381 00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:14,799 john keel was an interesting figure 382 00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:16,880 in today's terms he might be considered 383 00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:19,039 a conspiracy land character because he 384 00:19:26,950 --> 00:19:23,440 covered strange and unusual topics 385 00:19:29,510 --> 00:19:26,960 much like a nick redfern of today or or 386 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,520 someone like uh mcmars 387 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:31,520 but he was from another era and 388 00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:33,760 certainly an interesting guy 389 00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:36,000 besides writing the original mothman 390 00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:39,600 book he also was an independent writer 391 00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:41,200 who wrote for many 392 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:43,760 different magazines like weird tales and 393 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:46,960 men's adventure magazine and more 394 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:48,960 so just a note on john 395 00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:51,120 keel the original uh 396 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:52,880 really the person that popularized the 397 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:55,440 mothman kill was born in hornell new 398 00:19:59,110 --> 00:19:57,440 york the son of a small-time bandleader 399 00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:59,120 his parents

left the 403 00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:06,320 military he worked at a foreign radio 404 00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:09,039 correspondent in paris berlin rome and 405 00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:13,039 egypt in

believe that that 414 00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:34,320 trick was real that it was just a myth 415 00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:36,720 john keel investigated that and given my 416 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:39,520

the fickle 423 00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:52,720 finger 424 00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:54,720 of fate influenced writers such as 425 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:56,559 charles fourth he began contributing 426 00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:59,039 articles to here's where we tie into all 427 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,960 the strange stuff the flying saucer 428 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,480 review 429 00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:05,120 and he took up investigating ufos with 430 00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:08,799 assorted fortania as a full-time pursuit 431 00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:11,440 so john keel became a full-time ufo 432 00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:15,360 investigator in the year 1966. 433 00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:17,919 keel analyzed what he calls windows and 434 00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:20,240 waves or flaps as they are often called 435 00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:22,960 or reported ufo events concluding that a 436 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,559 disproportionate number occurred on 437 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:26,400 wednesdays and saturdays 438 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,880 i never knew that apparently more ufo 439 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,880 flaps occur on wednesdays and saturdays 440 00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:32,960 than any other day of the week 441 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:34,480 kia was a member of the screenwriter's 442 00:21:40,070 --> 00:21:36,960 guild and keel reportedly wrote scripts 443 00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:40,080 for get smart the monkeys uh mac 444 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:44,000 and meyer for hire and lost in space 445 00:21:47,669 --> 00:21:45,919 here's something that i found extremely 446 00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:47,679 interesting and that i never know i 447 00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:50,640 never knew but in 1967 448 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:53,440 keel popularized the term men in black 449 00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:55,120 in an article from men's adventure 450 00:22:02,070 --> 00:21:58,640 magazine saga entitled ufo agents of 451 00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:02,080 terror and in that article by the way he 452 00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:03,760 basically tells the story of the men in 453 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,440 black the men in black from the 454 00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:07,440 government some shadowy government 455 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:09,760 organization that comes to shut people 456 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,720 up once they've seen a ufo 457 00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:14,320 it's interesting that he rejected the 458 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:16,080 extraterrestrial hype 459 00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:17,840 hypothesis 460 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:20,240 um this wikipedia article says that like 461 00:22:25,350 --> 00:22:23,280 contemporary 1960 researchers such as 462 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,360 jay allen heineck and jack soleil kiel 463 00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:27,600 was initially hopeful he could somehow 464 00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:29,840 validate the prevailing extraterrestrial 465 00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:32,559 visitation hypothesis however after a 466 00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:34,559 year of investigations kiel concluded 467 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:37,120 that extra terrestrial hypothesis was 468 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:38,320 untenable 469 00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,919 indeed both heineken and valet 470 00:22:44,149 --> 00:22:41,360 eventually arrived at a similar 471 00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:44,159 conclusion as keel himself wrote 472 00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:45,679 abandoned the extraterrestrial 473 00:22:51,669 --> 00:22:48,559 hypothesis in 1967 when my own field 474 00:22:53,669 --> 00:22:51,679 investigations disclosed an astonishing 475 00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:53,679 overlap between psychic phenomenon and 476 00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:56,400 ufos the objects and apparitions do not 477 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:58,880 necessarily originate on another planet 478 00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:01,120 and may not even exist 479 00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:04,000 as permanent constructions of matter 480 00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:07,600 it is more likely that what we see 481 00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:10,320 it is more likely that we see what we 482 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:12,559 want to see and interpret such visions 483 00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:14,240 according to our own contemporary 484 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:16,720 beliefs and this leads into the extra 485 00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:18,000 dimensional 486 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:20,880 uh consciousness aspects of the world of 487 00:23:24,149 --> 00:23:23,280 ufos many people believe that ufos are 488 00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:24,159 not 489 00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:26,159 physical objects but rather 490 00:23:30,549 --> 00:23:28,400 manifestations of our own consciousness 491 00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:30,559 or interpretation of 492 00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:33,520 some form of energy and not 493 00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:36,880 uh really physical structures 494 00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:39,360 in ufo's operation trojan horse keel 495 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:41,440 argues that the non-human or spiritual 496 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,600 intelligence source has staged whole 497 00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,520 events over a long period of time in 498 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,919 order to propagate and reinforce certain 499 00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:50,400 erroneous belief systems for example 500 00:23:55,269 --> 00:23:53,279 monsters ghosts and demons the very 501 00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:55,279 faith in middle europe vampire legends 502 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:57,679 mystery airships in 1897 mystery 503 00:24:02,789 --> 00:24:00,240 aeroplanes of the 1930s mystery 504 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:02,799 helicopters anomalous creature sightings 505 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:04,880 poltergeist phenomena balls of light and 506 00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:06,480 ufos 507 00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:08,480 uh kill conjecture that ultimately all 508 00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:10,720 these anomalies are a cover for the real 509 00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:13,679 phenomenon he used the term and where we 510 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:15,440 heard this before friends apparently he 511 00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:17,520 coined this term as well ultra 512 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:20,320 terrestrials to describe ufo occupants 513 00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:21,760 he believed to be 514 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,799 non-human entities capable of taking on 515 00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:26,640 whatever form they want 516 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,720 in our haunted planet kiel discussed the 517 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,480 seldom considered possibility that the 518 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:32,640 alien visitors to earth are not visitors 519 00:24:37,029 --> 00:24:34,720 at all but an advanced earth 520 00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:37,039 civilization so we've heard some of 521 00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:39,039 these things before but to me it was 522 00:24:45,029 --> 00:24:41,840 very interesting to see that john keel 523 00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:45,039 has been the genesis of many of this ufo 524 00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:47,440 mythology that we have today that is 525 00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:49,760 just accepted as as very good 526 00:24:52,870 --> 00:24:51,600 possibilities 527 00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:52,880 um 528 00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:55,039 so not visitors at all but an advanced 529 00:24:59,750 --> 00:24:56,880 earth civilization which may or may not 530 00:25:02,789 --> 00:24:59,760 be human interdimensional life is also 531 00:25:05,029 --> 00:25:02,799 considered and in 1975 of course he put 532 00:25:07,350 --> 00:25:05,039 out his book the mothman privacies the 533 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:07,360 prophecies it was kills accounts of his 534 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,520 investigation into alleged sightings in 535 00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:11,760 and around point pleasant west virginia 536 00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:14,720 of a huge winged creature called mothman 537 00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:16,320 the book combines kiehl's account of 538 00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:18,400 receiving strange phone calls with 539 00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:21,440 reports of mutilated pets and culminates 540 00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:25,440 with the december 15 1970 67 collapse of 541 00:25:30,789 --> 00:25:28,880 the silver bridge across the ohio river 542 00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:30,799 the book was widely popularized as the 543 00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:33,679 basis of a 2002 film of the same name 544 00:25:39,029 --> 00:25:36,080 starring richard gere will patton laura 545 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:39,039 linney and alan bates and just a note if 546 00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:40,400 you've never seen that mothman 547 00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:42,960 prophecies movie it's worth it it's a 548 00:25:46,549 --> 00:25:43,679 good 549 00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:46,559 they veer off from from actual history 550 00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:47,600 quite a bit 551 00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:49,840 and the the main character richard gere 552 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:52,720 plays is a combination of of keel and 553 00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:54,640 another person 554 00:25:57,669 --> 00:25:56,320 oh they mentioned that here gear and 555 00:25:59,590 --> 00:25:57,679 bates played two parts of kiehl's 556 00:26:01,830 --> 00:25:59,600 personality bates character was leak 557 00:26:03,510 --> 00:26:01,840 which was key all spelled backwards and 558 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:03,520 gear's character worked for a newspaper 559 00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,080 john klein also play on john keele's 560 00:26:13,430 --> 00:26:11,029 it's interesting to note uh that in may 561 00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:13,440 june 2002 issue of skeptical inquirer 562 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:15,120 journalist john sherwood a former 563 00:26:21,029 --> 00:26:18,320 business associate of ufo researcher 564 00:26:23,110 --> 00:26:21,039 uh gray barker published an analysis of 565 00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:23,120 private letters between keo and barker 566 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:24,159 during the period of kill's 567 00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:25,440 investigation 568 00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:27,520 in the article gray barker's book of 569 00:26:31,269 --> 00:26:29,360 bunk sherwood reported finding 570 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:31,279 significant differences between what 571 00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:33,039 kiel wrote at the time of his 572 00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:35,039 investigation and what he wrote in his 573 00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:37,440 first book about the mothman reports 574 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:39,279 raising questions about the book's 575 00:26:42,789 --> 00:26:40,640 accuracy 576 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,799 sherwood also reported that keel who is 577 00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:44,400 well known for writing humorous and 578 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:45,919 outrageous letters to friends and 579 00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:48,559 associates would not assist him in 580 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:50,559 clarifying the differences 581 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:52,400 so uh 582 00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:55,120 controversial figure he was of course 583 00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:57,440 and it's interesting to see that some of 584 00:27:02,390 --> 00:26:59,840 his letters between him and a colleague 585 00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:02,400 differ very much from what was put in 586 00:27:05,350 --> 00:27:04,400 his eventual book 587 00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:05,360 um 588 00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:08,080 and keel uh lived of course on the upper 589 00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:09,679 west side of new york city it was a 590 00:27:15,669 --> 00:27:12,080 lifelong bachelor and he died july 3rd 591 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,679 2009 in new york city at the age of 79. 592 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:17,520 so there we get some insight into the 593 00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:19,440 original investigator and really the 594 00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:23,440 person who popularized the myth of 595 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:25,360 the the mothman 596 00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:27,360 one second

00:29:17,909 --> 00:29:16,480 with the grave robbers that i mentors 635 00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:17,919 robbers excuse me 636 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:20,159 not definitely not grave robbers 637 00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:22,799 slip of the tongue the grave diggers who 638 00:29:27,909 --> 00:29:25,279 originally were the first witnesses to 639 00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:27,919 mothman sighting shortly after that 640 00:29:32,950 --> 00:29:29,919 residents of point pleasant uh west 641 00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:32,960 virginia a few miles west of clint 642 00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:35,279 clendenin claimed they saw the monster 643 00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:37,120 while driving at night and we heard the 644 00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:39,440 article from the newspaper at the time 645 00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:41,360 they reported that the monster was also 646 00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:44,799 commonly seen in that tnt area near town 647 00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:46,559 and some of the locals speculated that 648 00:29:51,110 --> 00:29:48,720 perhaps people were really seeing cranes 649 00:29:53,669 --> 00:29:51,120 or owls and others would wonder if the 650 00:29:55,990 --> 00:29:53,679 creature was created in some sort of 651 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:56,000 mutation accident involving the 652 00:30:03,269 --> 00:29:59,679 chemicals associated with storing tnt 653 00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:03,279 um interesting and we can get into the 654 00:30:07,750 --> 00:30:05,440 we can get into 655 00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:07,760 there are some theories about what 656 00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:09,679 mothman actually is 657 00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:10,960 now we mentioned that some people 658 00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:13,679 believe that the mothman is uh 659 00:30:18,870 --> 00:30:15,919 a misidentified animal 660 00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:18,880 um i find this to be a little bit of a 661 00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:21,840 stretch because i've seen 662 00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:23,760 i've seen an owl at night but one thing 663 00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:25,600 i will say is if you shine a flashlight 664 00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:27,679 at some birds or animals in the forest 665 00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:30,000 you're going to see glowing red eyes 666 00:30:36,149 --> 00:30:32,080 so that's interesting but for someone to 667 00:30:39,269 --> 00:30:36,159 mistake a common bar now or any owl for 668 00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:39,279 a man-like creature with legs and arms 669 00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:42,080 and wings it's a little too much 670 00:30:47,909 --> 00:30:45,039 interestingly some people depict 671 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:47,919 mothman as more reptile-like 672 00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:48,880 or 673 00:30:54,470 --> 00:30:51,840 demonic i would even say others depict 674 00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:54,480 him as more uh bird-like with feathers 675 00:30:57,909 --> 00:30:56,159 and wings and 676 00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:57,919 here we see a more 677 00:31:01,669 --> 00:31:00,240 i suppose demonic or lizard-like 678 00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:01,679 explanation 679 00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:04,080 and some of course depict him looking a 680 00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:07,039 lot more bird-like than man-like so the 681 00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:07,919 the 682 00:31:13,909 --> 00:31:12,799 that i've been able to find in source 683 00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:13,919 they 684 00:31:19,190 --> 00:31:16,159 say it's a 10-foot tall man-like 685 00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:19,200 creature with wings on his back 686 00:31:23,669 --> 00:31:20,880 and here we see point pleasant west 687 00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:23,679 virginia where they have a mothman 688 00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:26,000 celebration every year 689 00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,320 interesting to note that uh point 690 00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:30,320 pleasant west virginia became a lot like 691 00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:33,200 roswell uh you know how roswell sort of 692 00:31:38,389 --> 00:31:35,519 cashed

00:34:19,119 sightings as the media reports in the 760 00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:21,839 newspaper articles sort of i believe 761 00:34:26,069 --> 00:34:24,480 fanned the flames of people 762 00:34:29,349

--> 00:37:48,480 there too 845 00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:50,800 up until sunday night he hadn't been 846 00:37:55,349 --> 00:37:53,119 spotted recently but according to these 847 00:37:59,109 --> 00:37:55,359 pictures the legendary point pleasant 848 00:38:01,670 --> 00:37:59,119 mothman is back these pictures suppose 849 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:01,680 now here is this picture which is 850 00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:02,880 incredible 851 00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:04,480 picture because 852 00:38:09,030 --> 00:38:06,400 if 853 00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:09,040 we see legs we definitely see legs we 854 00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:10,880 definitely see a head of some sort and 855 00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:14,079 we definitely see wings 856 00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:15,920 but there's a counter theory to these 857 00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:17,599 pictures and we'll talk about that after 858 00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:20,079 this news report 859 00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:22,560 supposedly taken by a man who says he 860 00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:24,800 was driving along state highway 2 in 861 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:27,119 point pleasant saw something jump from 862 00:38:31,750 --> 00:38:29,599 tree to tree so he pulled off the road 863 00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:31,760 to take these pictures the man declined 864 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,480 an on camera interview but is adamant 865 00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:36,960 the pictures are real and some locals 866 00:38:41,030 --> 00:38:39,440 like carolyn harris believe it 867 00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:41,040 it's interesting to note that the person 868 00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:43,200 that distributed these photographs 869 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:44,960 remained anonymous and to this day 870 00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:47,680 remains anonymous so that gives me some 871 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:50,560 pause as to uh 872 00:38:53,829 --> 00:38:52,160 you know the authenticity of the 873 00:38:56,069 --> 00:38:53,839 pictures if i can't interview the guy 874 00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:56,079 who took the pictures and get a sense of 875 00:39:00,630 --> 00:38:57,440 his uh 876 00:39:02,069 --> 00:39:00,640 you know his integrity his truthfulness 877 00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:02,079 it gives me a little bit of caution 878 00:39:06,069 --> 00:39:04,320 about the pictures 879 00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:06,079 i definitely know that the mothman's 880 00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:08,480 real harris has owned the mothman diner 881 00:39:13,349 --> 00:39:11,040 for 48 years she also helped start the 882 00:39:15,910 --> 00:39:13,359 mothman festival harris said there's 883 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:15,920 been too many sightings of the mothman 884 00:39:20,630 --> 00:39:18,560 for her not to believe first responders 885 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:20,640 in the church department and stuff 886 00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:22,400 that i talked to that 887 00:39:26,310 --> 00:39:23,760 they definitely made a believer out of 888 00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:26,320 me harris has met many mothman believers 889 00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:28,480 over the years like the smiths you have 890 00:39:33,510 --> 00:39:31,280 eyewitnesses so you know 891 00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:33,520 yeah it does have potential and and i do 892 00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:35,520 sort of want to believe we asked the 893 00:39:40,390 --> 00:39:37,680 local mothman expert and owner of the 894 00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:40,400 mothman museum jeff wamsley just how 895 00:39:45,109 --> 00:39:42,640 authentic the pictures are wamsley said 896 00:39:47,750 --> 00:39:45,119 with modern technology it's almost 897 00:39:50,230 --> 00:39:47,760 impossible to know for sure if the picks 898 00:39:52,790 --> 00:39:50,240 are real but even if they are fakes the 899 00:39:55,349 --> 00:39:52,800 benefits of the mothman's legend to the 900 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:55,359 town of point pleasant are very real 901 00:39:58,870 --> 00:39:57,040 it's a good thing a lot of people brings 902 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:58,880 a lot of people to the area it's here to 903 00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:00,400 stay at ain't leaving 904 00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:02,160 yeah it's interesting the locals love 905 00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:04,720 mothman there uh if you go down there 906 00:40:09,190 --> 00:40:06,720 you'll see they're excited about mothman 907 00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:09,200 they love mothman because this woman

911 00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:19,119 well i know in fairness i'd say 50 912 00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:22,160 percent of her business was tourists who 913 00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:23,520 come in 914 00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:25,520 look at the mothman statue go to that 915 00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:27,760 mothman museum and they have lunch or 916 00:40:32,309 --> 00:40:30,160 dinner or breakfast here in her facility 917 00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:32,319 so she's got twice the business that she 918 00:40:36,950 --> 00:40:34,880 would have from the locals uh from from 919 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:36,960

00:41:05,520 it's flying in the sky as they take the 932 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:06,960 pictures 933 00:41:10,309 --> 00:41:09,440 however uh 934 00:41:57,270 --> 00:41:10,319 a 935 00:41:58,710 -->

949 00:42:26,390 --> 00:42:23,440 material and then 950 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:26,400 look through uh you know maybe enhance 951 00:42:30,870 --> 00:42:28,400 the images and see 952 00:42:32,390 --> 00:42:30,880 what it is that we're so i want to see 953 00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:32,400 in more detail 954 00:42:36,230 --> 00:42:34,160 and i'm pretty sure if we had a good 955 00:42:38,309 --> 00:42:36,240 source copied originals 956 00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:38,319 we would be able to see a lot more 957 00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:39,680 detail 958 00:42:42,950 --> 00:42:40,720 uh 959 00:42:45,910 --> 00:42:42,960 of these photos because here it's 960 00:42:48,630 --> 00:42:45,920 sort of a black gob in the sky yeah it 961 00:42:50,790 --> 00:42:48,640 resembles a bird 962 00:42:51,829 --> 00:42:50,800 and it looks like legs but are they legs 963 00:42:55,190 --> 00:42:51,839 or is it 964 00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:55,200 a dangling snake in the claws of a bird 965 00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:57,440 of prey you know there are hawks there 966 00:43:00,550 --> 00:42:59,760 are chicken hawks and turkey vultures 967 00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:00,560 and 968 00:43:12,390 --> 00:43:09,680 so i think the snake explanation 969 00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:12,400 definitely holds some validity to me 970 00:43:15,829 --> 00:43:14,480 um what do you guys think let me know in 971 00:43:18,950 -->

00:44:16,400 i want to read one of the witness 996 00:44:20,069 --> 00:44:18,319 reports i found because i found it very 997 00:44:22,710 --> 00:44:20,079 compelling so again we're going to cite 998 00:44:24,790 --> 00:44:22,720 fair use i'm sharing my screen here 999 00:44:27,910 --> 00:44:24,800 this is an anonymous 1000 00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:27,920 uh report many people who report mothman 1001 00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:29,680 choose to remain anonymous i guess 1002 00:44:34,309 --> 00:44:31,200 they're afraid of getting ridiculed just 1003 00:44:36,309 --> 00:44:34,319 like ufo witnesses who knows 1004 00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:36,319 but this location was in woodstock 1005 00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:39,760 illinois and i found an 1006 00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:42,960 an inordinate i would say amount of 1007 00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:47,119 um mothman sightings in the midwest 1008 00:44:50,470 --> 00:44:48,960 uh but this one came from woodstock 1009 00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:50,480 illinois 1010 00:44:56,390 --> 00:44:53,760 and it was reported to singular fortion 1011 00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:56,400 by lon strickler 1012 00:45:00,309 --> 00:44:58,720 and the witness said 1013 00:45:02,470 --> 00:45:00,319 he said that he thought it may have been 1014 00:45:04,710 --> 00:45:02,480 bigfoot initially but then noticed that 1015 00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:04,720 it had a large set of membrane wings 1016 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:06,960 attached to the back extending over the 1017 00:45:09,990 --> 00:45:08,319 top of his head 1018 00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:10,000 he described the shape of the wings as 1019 00:45:13,990 --> 00:45:12,160 that of a gargoyle 1020 00:45:16,150 --> 00:45:14,000 the body was eight to nine feet in 1021 00:45:18,550 --> 00:45:16,160 height 1022 00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:18,560 and covered in dark fur the arms and 1023 00:45:22,470 --> 00:45:20,560 legs were well defined 1024 00:45:24,069 --> 00:45:22,480 and in this sighting 1025 00:45:26,309 --> 00:45:24,079 um people believe that they got 1026 00:45:28,390 --> 00:45:26,319 footprints now i went looking and i i 1027 00:45:29,750 --> 00:45:28,400 found a few examples of when people 1028 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,760 claim 1029 00:45:33,589 --> 00:45:31,440 they got 1030 00:45:35,430 --> 00:45:33,599 mothman footprints kind of like the 1031 00:45:38,550 --> 00:45:35,440 bigfoot and you know people will cast 1032 00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:38,560 them but to me they they seem like 1033 00:45:42,069 --> 00:45:40,480 uh pariola is that what it's called like 1034 00:45:43,030 --> 00:45:42,079 when you look at a cloud and you see 1035 00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:43,040 something 1036 00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:44,400 in a cloud 1037 00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:46,000 i think some of these the so-called 1038 00:45:51,030 --> 00:45:48,960 footprint evidence is very very weak 1039 00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:51,040 but uh 1040 00:45:57,190 --> 00:45:54,319 on to possible explanations 1041 00:46:01,589 --> 00:45:57,200 now uh i i do recall that the history 1042 00:46:03,589 --> 00:46:01,599 channel tested the uh 1043 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:03,599 owl hypothesis 1044 00:46:05,910 --> 00:46:04,490 and uh 1045 00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:05,920 [Music] 1046 00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:08,400 i don't really recall but the you know 1047 00:46:11,990 --> 00:46:10,240 so the first 1048 00:46:13,910 --> 00:46:12,000 explanation that many people come up 1049 00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:13,920 with is that these are misidentified 1050 00:46:17,910 --> 00:46:15,839 animals 1051 00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:17,920 and again i've shined a flashlight in 1052 00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:19,680 the woods at night and saw glowing red 1053 00:46:23,349 --> 00:46:22,000 eyes sometimes it was a deer sometimes 1054 00:46:27,430 --> 00:46:23,359 it was an owl 1055 00:46:29,589 --> 00:46:27,440 um so the glowing red eyes to me is 1056 00:46:36,150 --> 00:46:29,599 supportive of the theory that these 1057 00:46:39,829 --> 00:46:37,990 let me stop for a moment to thank lon 1058 00:46:41,349 --> 00:46:39,839 strickler for a kind and generous five 1059 00:46:43,349 --> 00:46:41,359 dollar super sticker thank you for your 1060 00:46:45,589 -->

theories 1076 00:47:25,670 --> 00:47:22,880 so the first theory of course is 1077 00:47:27,109 --> 00:47:25,680 misidentified animals 1078 00:47:30,870 --> 00:47:27,119 are these 1079 00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:30,880 bird-like men 1080 00:47:36,470 --> 00:47:33,920 just people seeing an owl now i once had 1081 00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:36,480 a huge owl fly right by me 1082 00:47:41,670 --> 00:47:39,200 uh in the woods and it was a frightening 1083 00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:41,680 encounter i have to say i was terrified 1084 00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:43,440 because it came out of nowhere it was 1085 00:47:46,630 --> 00:47:44,960 the middle of the night 1086 00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:46,640 and all of a sudden there's this big 1087 00:47:52,069 --> 00:47:49,440 winged creature that flew by me 1088 00:47:53,030 --> 00:47:52,079 and it sort of flew in front of me then 1089 00:47:56,069 --> 00:47:53,040 over me 1090 00:47:56,950 --> 00:47:56,079 and i was terrified but i knew right 1091 00:47:58,390 --> 00:47:56,960 away 1092 00:48:01,829 --> 00:47:58,400 it was a bird 1093 00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:01,839 a big bird turned out to be an owl 1094 00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:03,280 and it's interesting 1095 00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:05,040 how many people have 1096 00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:07,040 maybe people can agree with me on this 1097 00:48:09,589 --> 00:48:08,640 point how many of you have been in the 1098 00:48:12,309 --> 00:48:09,599 woods 1099 00:48:14,390 --> 00:48:12,319 and heard uh whos 1100 00:48:16,710 --> 00:48:14,400 but you never see the owl 1101 00:48:18,790 --> 00:48:16,720 so owls tend to be 1102 00:48:20,710 --> 00:48:18,800 i almost believe that some people could 1103 00:48:22,790 --> 00:48:20,720 see a big owl 1104 00:48:24,950 --> 00:48:22,800 fly near them and mistake it for 1105 00:48:27,270 --> 00:48:24,960 something more because it's a rare 1106 00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:27,280 occurrence to even see an owl 1107 00:48:31,750 --> 00:48:29,280 i spent a lot of time in the forest i 1108 00:48:35,270 --> 00:48:31,760 hear hooing from owls all the time i 1109 00:48:36,950 --> 00:48:35,280 rarely see the owl creating that hooing 1110 00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:36,960 but i hear the whos 1111 00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:39,280 right all the time i hear who's at the 1112 00:48:43,510 --> 00:48:42,160 cabin sometimes we put a flashlight up 1113 00:48:45,910 --> 00:48:43,520 in the trees trying to find it 1114 00:48:48,309 --> 00:48:45,920 especially if it feels like that it's 1115 00:48:49,829 --> 00:48:48,319 close you know that who wings real loud 1116 00:48:52,069 --> 00:48:49,839 one time we were sitting by the campfire 1117 00:48:54,549 --> 00:48:52,079 and it was one of these out would drive 1118 00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:54,559 me nuts you know 1119 00:48:57,829 --> 00:48:56,079 and we're trying to listen to music and 1120 00:48:59,670 --> 00:48:57,839 it's blaring it's who 1121 00:49:01,829 --> 00:48:59,680 so we went looking for it couldn't find 1122 00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:01,839 it eventually it stopped when we started 1123 00:49:06,069 --> 00:49:03,760 shining flashlights around 1124 00:49:08,870 --> 00:49:06,079 um but i think the animal explanation at 1125 00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:08,880 least for some of the sightings may be 1126 00:49:14,710 --> 00:49:12,000 a valid uh a valid theory because you 1127 00:49:16,870 --> 00:49:14,720 don't see an owl very often you hear 1128 00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:16,880 them all the time 1129 00:49:19,990 --> 00:49:18,400 i remember even in the city in 1130 00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:20,000 philadelphia you would hear 1131 00:49:24,390 --> 00:49:22,720 owls and you're in the middle of a city 1132 00:49:26,309 --> 00:49:24,400 where the hell is now you never see it 1133 00:49:27,670 --> 00:49:26,319 now i've never seen an owl in the city 1134 00:49:30,710 --> 00:49:27,680 only in the woods 1135 00:49:32,870 --> 00:49:30,720 um and i i saw one one time in a barn 1136 00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:32,880 too as well when i was a kid 1137 00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:36,000 um but in my entire life only twice have 1138 00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:36,640 i 1139 00:49:40,870 --> 00:49:38,640 been at all close to oh maybe three 1140 00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:40,880 times but once was in a zoo where there 1141 00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:42,960 was a zoo keeper with an owl teaching us 1142 00:49:47,829 --> 00:49:45,280 about owls so only three times in my 1143 00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:47,839 life have i been close to an owl 1144 00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:49,359 so maybe 1145 00:49:56,230 --> 00:49:53,599 people who uh you know are not 1146 00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:56,240 used to seeing owls up close just see 1147 00:50:00,390 --> 00:49:58,240 this huge winged creature flying over 1148 00:50:02,309 --> 00:50:00,400 them with a big wingspan 1149 00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:02,319 and they get confused they think it's 1150 00:50:07,030 --> 00:50:04,800 something more 1151 00:50:08,870 --> 00:50:07,040 now the animal explanation to me could 1152 00:50:10,630 --> 00:50:08,880 explain some but not all of these 1153 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:10,640 sightings because some of these reports 1154 00:50:15,589 --> 00:50:13,040 people are adamant i s this thing walked 1155 00:50:18,069 --> 00:50:15,599 on two legs it landed in front of me it 1156 00:50:21,589 --> 00:50:18,079 walked on two legs right in front of me 1157 00:50:23,990 --> 00:50:21,599 it had arms and legs like a person 1158 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:24,000 those reports are are hard to explain 1159 00:50:28,390 --> 00:50:26,640 away with cranes 1160 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:28,400 or with 1161 00:50:34,150 --> 00:50:31,040 owls even huge owls 1162 00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:34,160 um but the other theories uh you know 1163 00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:35,520 really 1164 00:50:40,470 --> 00:50:37,280 pick your pic 1165 00:50:42,790 --> 00:50:40,480 pick your uh poison i guess right 1166 00:50:43,589 --> 00:50:42,800 pick your preference i should say 1167 00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:43,599 um 1168 00:50:46,950 --> 00:50:45,760 people who are into ufos and aliens that 1169 00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:46,960 i've talked to 1170 00:50:52,309 --> 00:50:49,920 are sure that mothman is an alien they 1171 00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:52,319 know it as a fact it's a fact a monk 1172 00:50:56,150 --> 00:50:53,760 man's an alien 1173 00:50:58,790 --> 00:50:56,160 he's an alien from another planet where 1174 00:51:00,309 --> 00:50:58,800 they have wings and they descended i had 1175 00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:00,319 somebody tell me this i'm just repeating 1176 00:51:06,069 --> 00:51:03,280 what i've heard i don't know 1177 00:51:08,150 --> 00:51:06,079 so a a friend or you know maybe 1178 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:08,160 colleague of mine who runs a podcast on 1179 00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:10,559 aliens and ufos he's convinced 1180 00:51:15,670 --> 00:51:13,359 that mothman is indeed an alien from a 1181 00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:15,680 planet where 1182 00:51:19,109 --> 00:51:16,960 instead of 1183 00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:19,119 the intelligent species ruling the 1184 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:20,880 planet evolving from 1185 00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:22,480 uh apes 1186 00:51:30,150 --> 00:51:26,160 on the mothman planet the the prevailing 1187 00:51:32,390 --> 00:51:30,160 intelligence species evolved from birds 1188 00:51:34,390 --> 00:51:32,400 okay uh that's one of the theories that 1189 00:51:36,470 --> 00:51:34,400 it's an alien 1190 00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:36,480 we talked about misidentified animals 1191 00:51:42,230 --> 00:51:39,040 and again um some people claim that the 1192 00:51:46,430 --> 00:51:42,240 mothman is confused with a barred owl 1193 00:51:49,190 --> 00:51:46,440 i had to look this up a shite poke 1194 00:51:50,790 --> 00:51:49,200 s-h-i-t-e-p-o-k-e which is a heron a big 1195 00:51:53,190 --> 00:51:50,800 bird 1196 00:51:55,990 --> 00:51:53,200 people uh think that maybe people are 1197 00:51:58,309 --> 00:51:56,000 confusing a bard owl a shite poke which 1198 00:52:00,309 --> 00:51:58,319 is a heron a big bird you can look it up 1199 00:52:01,510 --> 00:52:00,319 or a sandhill crane which we showed 1200 00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:01,520 earlier 1201 00:52:06,150 --> 00:52:02,720 i am 1202 00:52:08,069 --> 00:52:06,160 less than convinced that this could be 1203 00:52:09,670 --> 00:52:08,079 at least all the reports you can't 1204 00:52:12,870 --> 00:52:09,680 explain away all these reports people 1205 00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:12,880 are adamant i saw legs i saw arms this 1206 00:52:17,270 --> 00:52:15,359 was not a bird it was eight feet tall 1207 00:52:19,430 --> 00:52:17,280 i was standing in one report i saw 1208 00:52:21,510 --> 00:52:19,440 somebody said i was standing near it 1209 00:52:23,910 --> 00:52:21,520 i'm six foot and this thing towered over 1210 00:52:26,150 --> 00:52:23,920 me by two three maybe four feet could 1211 00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:26,160 have been ten feet tall this guy said 1212 00:52:32,549 --> 00:52:29,680 that sort of eliminates the barnyard owl 1213 00:52:33,430 --> 00:52:32,559 or bard owl explanation 1214 00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:33,440 now 1215 00:52:44,950 --> 00:52:34,160 i 1216 00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:44,960 and 1217 00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:47,200 john keel doesn't make absolutist 1218 00:52:50,710 --> 00:52:48,960 statements like he doesn't say i'm 1219 00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:50,720 convinced it's this 1220 00:52:55,670 --> 00:52:53,440 uh he speculates but 1221 00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:55,680 in his book it really appears to me that 1222 00:53:00,390 --> 00:52:57,520 john keel believed that this was some 1223 00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:00,400 sort of interdimensional being 1224 00:53:07,190 --> 00:53:04,079 that it was somehow transported into our 1225 00:53:09,670 --> 00:53:07,200 physical realm from another dimension 1226 00:53:11,670 --> 00:53:09,680 that's was his belief and john keogh has 1227 00:53:13,589 --> 00:53:11,680 spent more time uh probably 1228 00:53:15,990 --> 00:53:13,599 investigating mothman than most other 1229 00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:16,000 people after all he was the originator 1230 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:18,160 of the story 1231 00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:19,760 john keel believed that it was some sort 1232 00:53:24,870 --> 00:53:22,000 of interdimensional being but that it 1233 00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:24,880 was related to the phenomenon of ghosts 1234 00:53:31,109 --> 00:53:29,200 demons spirits and ufos in some way 1235 00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:31,119 that's an interesting theory and again 1236 00:53:34,870 --> 00:53:32,800 the people who are on the side of this 1237 00:53:36,549 --> 00:53:34,880 is an interdimensional being most of 1238 00:53:38,950 --> 00:53:36,559 them believe that this thing is some 1239 00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:38,960 sort of harbinger of doom 1240 00:53:41,190 --> 00:53:39,760 um 1241 00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:41,200 we talked about 1242 00:53:47,270 --> 00:53:44,480 how people keep seeing mothman before 1243 00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,280 great tragedies before 9 11 people claim 1244 00:53:51,109 --> 00:53:49,440 to have seen there was mothman sightings 1245 00:53:53,990 --> 00:53:51,119 before fukushima 1246 00:53:55,990 --> 00:53:54,000 uh before the meltdown in russia in that 1247 00:53:57,829 --> 00:53:56,000 area there were mothman sightings and i 1248 00:53:59,589 --> 00:53:57,839 mean these are on the record there's 1249 00:54:01,589 --> 00:53:59,599 there were sightings 1250 00:54:03,190 --> 00:54:01,599 of the mockman before those terrible 1251 00:54:03,990 --> 00:54:03,200 events happen 1252 00:54:08,069 --> 00:54:04,000 so 1253 00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:08,079 interdimensional being trying to warn us 1254 00:54:12,630 --> 00:54:10,400 about impending doom 1255 00:54:15,430 --> 00:54:12,640 why is the mothman cited 1256 00:54:17,430 --> 00:54:15,440 so many times before great tragedies 1257 00:54:20,630 --> 00:54:17,440 it's one of those tantalizing little 1258 00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:20,640 aspects of the mothman story that really 1259 00:54:24,790 --> 00:54:22,640 make you think and make you wonder 1260 00:54:27,109 --> 00:54:24,800 what could it be and 1261 00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:27,119 i you know but to me i don't understand 1262 00:54:30,950 --> 00:54:28,720 if it's trying to warn us why it doesn't 1263 00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:30,960 just swoop down and talk to us and say 1264 00:54:34,470 --> 00:54:32,880 hey um 1265 00:54:36,390 --> 00:54:34,480 maybe you better shore up that bridge 1266 00:54:38,309 --> 00:54:36,400 because it's its structure is terrible 1267 00:54:45,750 --> 00:54:38,319 and it's going to collapse we don't get 1268 00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:47,430 now an interesting 1269 00:54:52,390 --> 00:54:50,000 point also of people who are seeing 1270 00:54:53,589 --> 00:54:52,400 mothman that i really want to stress is 1271 00:54:55,589 --> 00:54:53,599 that 1272 00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:55,599 many of the recites of the of the 1273 00:55:01,670 --> 00:54:57,920 sightings people report having these 1274 00:55:03,349 --> 00:55:01,680 strange emotional waves come over them 1275 00:55:04,870 --> 00:55:03,359 now certainly if you're going to see 1276 00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:04,880 something otherworldly like this you're 1277 00:55:08,549 --> 00:55:06,400 going to be afraid 1278 00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:08,559 but many people have reported some sort 1279 00:55:11,349 --> 00:55:09,920 of 1280 00:55:14,549 --> 00:55:11,359 emotional 1281 00:55:16,789 --> 00:55:14,559 feeling of impending doom and gloom 1282 00:55:18,950 --> 00:55:16,799 after the sighting that lasts 1283 00:55:23,829 --> 00:55:18,960 like an emotional hangover for weeks 1284 00:55:28,630 --> 00:55:25,670 so could it be 1285 00:55:34,390 --> 00:55:28,640 that this creature can somehow 1286 00:55:41,430 --> 00:55:35,990 just another 1287 00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:41,440 strange part of the story 1288 00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:45,910 finally 1289 00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:48,240 i talked to a theologian 1290 00:55:51,190 --> 00:55:49,200 who 1291 00:55:53,430 --> 00:55:51,200 looked over some of the uh 1292 00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:53,440 reports and the pictures for me 1293 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:55,920 and and this is this is why this some of 1294 00:55:59,270 --> 00:55:57,599 this stuff is very interesting to me 1295 00:56:01,829 --> 00:55:59,280 because we talked about how my friend 1296 00:56:03,990 --> 00:56:01,839 who is a big believer in ufos and aliens 1297 00:56:07,589 --> 00:56:04,000 is convinced that mothman is an alien 1298 00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:07,599 from a planet inhabited by bird people 1299 00:56:12,309 --> 00:56:10,079 john keel and others believe it's some 1300 00:56:15,430 --> 00:56:12,319 sort of interdimensional being with some 1301 00:56:16,470 --> 00:56:15,440 sort of connection to ghosts spirits etc 1302 00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:16,480 uh 1303 00:56:20,309 --> 00:56:18,880 the theologian that i spoke to he's a 1304 00:56:23,589 --> 00:56:20,319 catholic priest 1305 00:56:25,349 --> 00:56:23,599 he is told me that's a demon that's 1306 00:56:27,030 --> 00:56:25,359 absolutely a demon 1307 00:56:29,270 --> 00:56:27,040 and i said well 1308 00:56:30,950 --> 00:56:29,280 i thought demons didn't have bodies and 1309 00:56:32,710 --> 00:56:30,960 you know no a demon can appear in 1310 00:56:35,349 --> 00:56:32,720 whatever form it wishes 1311 00:56:36,630 --> 00:56:35,359 but this is a demon the leathery wings 1312 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:36,640 people describe it as being 1313 00:56:41,910 --> 00:56:39,200 gargoyle-like that's a fallen angel 1314 00:56:43,109 --> 00:56:41,920 that's a demon and i try to press this 1315 00:56:46,150 --> 00:56:43,119 priest for 1316 00:56:48,390 --> 00:56:46,160 okay but why is a demon just like flying 1317 00:56:50,069 --> 00:56:48,400 around people and scaring them and he 1318 00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:50,079 didn't really have an answer 1319 00:56:54,549 --> 00:56:52,799 but he was convinced that mothman is a 1320 00:56:56,069 --> 00:56:54,559 demon 1321 00:56:58,950 --> 00:56:56,079 and 1322 00:57:01,510 --> 00:56:58,960 there are also reports from john keel 1323 00:57:04,150 --> 00:57:01,520 john keel had strange phenomenon 1324 00:57:10,230 -->

00:58:20,880 some people conflate these two 1355 00:58:25,109 --> 00:58:22,559 uh these two 1356 00:58:27,030 --> 00:58:25,119 paranormal things mothman and injured 1357 00:58:27,990 --> 00:58:27,040 cold because they come from the same 1358 00:58:28,789 --> 00:58:28,000 place 1359 00:58:30,870 --> 00:58:28,799 and 1360 00:58:32,950 --> 00:58:30,880 some people have seen both which is 1361

october 16 1966 when two boys martin 1365 00:58:42,309 --> 00:58:40,240 mouse 1366 00:58:44,630 --> 00:58:42,319 munov and james jimmy 1367 00:58:46,150 --> 00:58:44,640 uh yanchevis in new jersey were walking 1368 00:58:47,990 --> 00:58:46,160 on fourth street when they saw a surreal 1369 00:58:50,789 --> 00:58:48,000 figure standing near the fence as they 1370 00:58:53,109 --> 00:58:50,799 walked closer the figure was a tall bald 1371 00:58:55,589 --> 00:58:53,119 man wearing a metal green suit who was 1372 00:58:57,589 --> 00:58:55,599 staring right at them with a huge grin 1373 00:59:00,150 --> 00:58:57,599 the idiosyncratic man chased them until 1374 00:59:02,309 --> 00:59:00,160 he got until they got away from them ufo 1375 00:59:03,510 --> 00:59:02,319 sightings were also reported around the 1376 00:59:05,829 --> 00:59:03,520 area 1377 00:59:08,230 --> 00:59:05,839 and there are more sightings of this 1378 00:59:09,190 --> 00:59:08,240 strange injured coal 1379 00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:09,200 and 1380 00:59:15,109 --> 00:59:12,480 apparently john keel also investigated 1381 00:59:17,109 --> 00:59:15,119 this and this he believed 1382 00:59:19,589 --> 00:59:17,119 some of the phone calls the strange 1383 00:59:22,230 --> 00:59:19,599 phone calls that he was getting 1384 00:59:25,270 --> 00:59:22,240 was from indrid cold this strange 1385 00:59:28,870 --> 00:59:27,270 the explanations for injured cold is 1386 00:59:31,510 --> 00:59:28,880 it's commonly believed that indrik may 1387 00:59:34,069 --> 00:59:31,520 be an alien entity and is supported by 1388 00:59:35,829 --> 00:59:34,079 its close connection with ufo activity 1389 00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:35,839 and with uh 1390 00:59:40,710 --> 00:59:38,160 derenberger's sighting it is also said 1391 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:40,720 by darren berger that the grinning man 1392 00:59:44,630 --> 00:59:42,640 is in fact a species of aliens with 1393 00:59:46,309 --> 00:59:44,640 multiple grinning men although it is 1394 00:59:47,750 --> 00:59:46,319 unlikely unless the aliens are 1395 00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:47,760 shape-shifters because it would be 1396 00:59:52,470 --> 00:59:49,680 almost impossible for a race to take the 1397 00:59:54,309 --> 00:59:52,480 exact evolutionary path as us however 1398 00:59:56,710 --> 00:59:54,319 the third sighting by the lily family 1399 00:59:57,829 --> 00:59:56,720 suggests instead it may be a ghost or a 1400 00:59:59,109 --> 00:59:57,839 spirit 1401 01:00:02,309 --> 00:59:59,119 so 1402 01:00:03,589 --> 01:00:02,319 another just

01:00:07,839 part of the story 1406 01:00:13,030 --> 01:00:10,559 and sometimes and in the movie mothman 1407 01:00:15,670 --> 01:00:13,040 prophecies with richard gere they they 1408 01:00:19,030 --> 01:00:15,680 can they mix these two 1409 01:00:21,109 --> 01:00:19,040 and in in the movie somehow this injured 1410 01:00:24,230 --> 01:00:21,119 cold alien entity 1411 01:00:25,750 --> 01:00:24,240 is the person calling john keel i don't 1412 01:00:28,630 --> 01:00:25,760 believe that that may be accurate 1413 01:00:30,150 --> 01:00:28,640 according to john keele's book but 1414 01:00:32,390 --> 01:00:30,160 it is what it is 1415 01:00:34,549 --> 01:00:32,400 just another strange part of the mothman 1416 01:00:37,349 --> 01:00:34,559 story is that right in the same area we 1417 01:00:39,750 --> 01:00:37,359 have this ufo flap and then people are 1418 01:00:40,630 --> 01:00:39,760 seeing this grinning strange man 1419 01:00:43,829 --> 01:00:40,640 right 1420 01:00:46,950 --> 01:00:43,839

1430 01:01:13,190 --> 01:01:10,240 find it very interesting that 1431 01:01:15,510 --> 01:01:13,200 what mothman is depends on who you ask 1432 01:01:19,109 --> 01:01:15,520 if you ask a big believer in aliens and 1433 01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:19,119 ufos mothman is is for sure an alien i 1434 01:01:23,430 --> 01:01:20,960 asked a priest to look over some of the 1435 01:01:25,829 --> 01:01:23,440 sighting reports and the pictures and 1436 01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:25,839 the depictions the drawn depictions the 1437 01:01:31,349 --> 01:01:28,720 priest was sure this was a demon 1438 01:01:34,549 --> 01:01:31,359 if you ask uh somebody who's an expert 1439 01:01:37,670 --> 01:01:34,559 on animals or wildlife most of them say 1440 01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:37,680 this is all just a misidentified animal 1441 01:01:41,510 --> 01:01:39,760 so interesting 1442 01:01:43,510 --> 01:01:41,520 now about the physical characteristics 1443 01:01:46,230 --> 01:01:43,520 most of the reports 1444 01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:46,240 indicate that mothman is between six and 1445 01:01:51,510 --> 01:01:49,280 ten feet tall with a ten foot plus uh 1446 01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:51,520 size wingspan 1447 01:01:55,750 --> 01:01:52,400 um 1448 01:01:58,630 --> 01:01:55,760 it's been compared to a big owl man a 1449 01:02:01,670 --> 01:01:58,640 pterosaur and a batman some people 1450 01:02:03,270 -->

because maltman has most often been 1454 01:02:10,950 --> 01:02:09,520 reported with glowing red eyes but 1455 01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:10,960 there's also been reports with green 1456 01:02:14,630 --> 01:02:13,440 eyes yellow eyes orange eyes all have 1457 01:02:15,910 --> 01:02:14,640 been reported 1458 01:02:17,829 --> 01:02:15,920 probably all the colors have been 1459 01:02:20,390 --> 01:02:17,839 reported too 1460 01:02:21,829 --> 01:02:20,400 but most of the reports cite glowing red 1461 01:02:23,910 --> 01:02:21,839 eyes 1462 01:02:25,829 --> 01:02:23,920 other reported features of the mothman 1463 01:02:27,349 --> 01:02:25,839 in various sightings some say it's 1464 01:02:29,270 --> 01:02:27,359 covered in fur 1465 01:02:31,029 --> 01:02:29,280 some say there's no fur it was 1466 01:02:33,349 --> 01:02:31,039 leather-like skin 1467 01:02:36,069 --> 01:02:33,359 others say that it had bat wings others 1468 01:02:38,309 --> 01:02:36,079 say no it was definitely bird wings some 1469 01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:38,319 people say that the creature is covered 1470 01:02:41,990 --> 01:02:40,559 in gray 1471 01:02:46,230 --> 01:02:42,000 feathers 1472 01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:46,240 so i suppose the reports vary 1473 01:02:49,270 --> 01:02:47,599 now there could be a lot of different 1474 01:02:51,029 --> 01:02:49,280 explanations for that maybe some people 1475 01:02:52,470 --> 01:02:51,039 see it far away and they're mistaking 1476 01:02:54,309 --> 01:02:52,480 fur for feathers 1477 01:02:55,750 --> 01:02:54,319 or leather-like skin 1478 01:02:58,150 --> 01:02:55,760 i don't know but i find it interesting 1479 01:03:00,309 --> 01:02:58,160 that the reports though similar many of 1480 01:03:01,990 --> 01:03:00,319 the reports are very very similar there 1481 01:03:04,870 --> 01:03:02,000 are significant differences in a lot of 1482 01:03:07,349 --> 01:03:04,880 these reports so it's hard to 1483 01:03:09,510 --> 01:03:07,359 to get a definitive answer what does 1484 01:03:11,430 --> 01:03:09,520 mothman look like 1485 01:03:13,670 --> 01:03:11,440 it depends on who sees him and what the 1486 01:03:14,829 --> 01:03:13,680 witness says really 1487 01:03:17,910 --> 01:03:14,839 um and 1488 01:03:20,630 --> 01:03:17,920 again animal experts say could sometimes 1489 01:03:22,549 --> 01:03:20,640 confuse with bard al uh san hook crane 1490 01:03:23,589 --> 01:03:22,559 and others 1491 01:03:25,430 --> 01:03:23,599 now 1492 01:03:27,029 --> 01:03:25,440 uh 1493 01:03:28,549 --> 01:03:27,039 we mentioned john keel the original 1494 01:03:31,029 --> 01:03:28,559 investigator and author of the mothman 1495 01:03:32,950 --> 01:03:31,039 privacy prophecies it's a great book if 1496 01:03:34,710 --> 01:03:32,960 you're looking for a great book john 1497 01:03:37,190 --> 01:03:34,720 keel's book the mothman prophecies is 1498 01:03:38,950 --> 01:03:37,200 one of those books you get and it gets 1499 01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:38,960 good in the beginning and then it just 1500 01:03:43,109 --> 01:03:40,960 keeps getting better it reads almost 1501 01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:43,119 like a spy thriller and you can't put it 1502 01:03:46,710 --> 01:03:45,280 down i i recommend that book and i 1503 01:03:48,470 --> 01:03:46,720 recommend the movie 1504 01:03:49,510 --> 01:03:48,480 um 1505 01:03:51,510 --> 01:03:49,520 so 1506

been a wave of new 1537 01:05:09,109 --> 01:05:06,319 sightings of mothman recently in the 1538 01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:09,119 city of chicago 1539 01:05:13,430 --> 01:05:10,640 so the vice article states it was a 1540 01:05:15,510 --> 01:05:13,440 normal summer night for john amitrano 1541 01:05:17,589 --> 01:05:15,520 working a friday shift as security for 1542 01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:17,599 chicago's popular logan square hangout 1543 01:05:21,190 --> 01:05:19,760 the owl i find it interesting that he's 1544 01:05:23,349 --> 01:05:21,200 hanging out a place called the owl and 1545 01:05:25,430 --> 01:05:23,359 then he sees a mothman but 1546 01:05:27,270 --> 01:05:25,440 you know synchronicity 1547 01:05:30,309 --> 01:05:27,280 but when else when he went outside he 1548 01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:30,319 saw something odd i saw a plane flying 1549 01:05:33,670 --> 01:05:31,760 but also something moving really 1550 01:05:36,069 --> 01:05:33,680 awkwardly under it he told vice it 1551 01:05:38,230 --> 01:05:36,079 didn't look like a bat so much as what 1552 01:05:39,829 --> 01:05:38,240 the illustrations of pterodactyl look 1553 01:05:41,349 --> 01:05:39,839 like with the slenderness of its head 1554 01:05:44,309 --> 01:05:41,359 and its wing sheet 1555 01:05:46,390 --> 01:05:44,319 i know what birds uh i know what birds 1556 01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:46,400 and what bats look like this thing 1557 01:05:51,029 --> 01:05:48,480 didn't have any feathers or fur and it 1558 01:05:53,109 --> 01:05:51,039 didn't fly like anything i've ever seen 1559 01:05:55,750 --> 01:05:53,119 amitrano added that the thing he saw 1560 01:05:57,589 --> 01:05:55,760 which according to him had muscular legs 1561 01:06:00,950 --> 01:05:57,599 a jutting tailbone and a human-like 1562 01:06:03,190 --> 01:06:00,960 shape flew in a strange swooping motion 1563 01:06:04,950 --> 01:06:03,200 undulating up and down 1564 01:06:06,549 --> 01:06:04,960 after it flew away he retrieved his 1565 01:06:08,150 --> 01:06:06,559 phone from charging in the bar and 1566 01:06:10,470 --> 01:06:08,160 texted his girlfriend and close friends 1567 01:06:12,069 --> 01:06:10,480 when it happened i remember thinking 1568 01:06:14,230 --> 01:06:12,079 this was the worst time in the world to 1569 01:06:15,270 --> 01:06:14,240 have my phone charging he left so yeah 1570 01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:15,280 unfortunately he didn't get any 1571 01:06:19,589 --> 01:06:17,280 photographs 1572 01:06:23,029 --> 01:06:19,599 what amateranos saw that night was one 1573 01:06:25,630 --> 01:06:23,039 of the 55 we have 55 reported chicago 1574 01:06:29,829 --> 01:06:25,640 area sightings of a flying humanoid in 1575 01:06:33,430 --> 01:06:29,839 2007. i did some checking and in 2018 1576 01:06:35,510 --> 01:06:33,440 1920 21 22 we have less reports but 1577 01:06:38,150 --> 01:06:35,520 there are still reports of a flying 1578 01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:38,160 winged man in chicago today 1579 01:06:42,069 --> 01:06:40,000 accounts are varied from a large black 1580 01:06:44,470 --> 01:06:42,079 bat like being with glowing red eyes to 1581 01:06:47,270 --> 01:06:44,480 a big owl or something that resembles a 1582 01:06:49,270 --> 01:06:47,280 gothic gargoyle or a 1583 01:06:51,029 --> 01:06:49,280 moth man 1584 01:06:52,870 --> 01:06:51,039 most eyewitnesses spot at the being in 1585 01:06:55,109 --> 01:06:52,880 flight but some particularly disturbing 1586 01:06:56,230 --> 01:06:55,119 reports detail that dropping onto hoods 1587 01:06:58,549 --> 01:06:56,240 of cars 1588 01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:58,559 peering in through windows and swooping 1589 01:07:02,150 --> 01:06:59,760 down by 1590 01:07:04,309 --> 01:07:02,160 bystanders the alleged mothman has 1591 01:07:06,710 --> 01:07:04,319 captured the attention of the city from 1592 01:07:08,390 --> 01:07:06,720 local media articles and rap songs 1593 01:07:09,349 --> 01:07:08,400 people are making rap songs about this 1594 01:07:11,190 --> 01:07:09,359 thing 1595 01:07:14,309 --> 01:07:11,200 two halloween costumes and countless 1596 01:07:16,150 --> 01:07:14,319 speculative facebook groups 1597 01:07:17,589 --> 01:07:16,160 amaterano later remembered seeing 1598 01:07:19,829 --> 01:07:17,599 something on facebook about the 1599 01:07:22,309 --> 01:07:19,839 sightings and as he read more about it 1600 01:07:24,549 --> 01:07:22,319 contacted lon strickler a self-described 1601 01:07:26,069 --> 01:07:24,559 40 and researcher who's been compiling 1602 01:07:27,990 --> 01:07:26,079 all of the chicago sightings on his 1603 01:07:29,990 --> 01:07:28,000 website and somebody mentioned lon 1604 01:07:31,270 --> 01:07:30,000 strickler to me and yeah i'm gonna reach 1605 01:07:33,029 --> 01:07:31,280 out to him and see if we can't get an 1606 01:07:34,710 --> 01:07:33,039 interview because he's been looking into 1607 01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:34,720 these sightings firsthand i'd love to 1608 01:07:39,750 --> 01:07:37,200 talk to him 1609 01:07:41,829 --> 01:07:39,760 he's got a website phantoms and monsters 1610 01:07:43,670 --> 01:07:41,839 strickler whose book mothman dynasty 1611 01:07:45,589 --> 01:07:43,680 chicago's winged humanoids was released 1612 01:07:47,270 --> 01:07:45,599 last month has been investigating 1613 01:07:49,829 --> 01:07:47,280 paranormal sightings since the late 1614 01:07:52,150 --> 01:07:49,839 1970s and claims to have seen a mothman 1615 01:07:53,510 --> 01:07:52,160 and bigfoot since the rashford sighting 1616 01:07:55,670 --> 01:07:53,520 starting in february he's been 1617 01:07:57,510 --> 01:07:55,680 painstakingly interviewing witnesses and 1618 01:07:59,670 --> 01:07:57,520 documenting their accounts 1619 01:08:01,750 --> 01:07:59,680 according to strickler the chicago 1620 01:08:03,589 --> 01:08:01,760 sightings are unlike anything he's seen 1621 01:08:05,510 --> 01:08:03,599 in his decades investigating alleged 1622 01:08:07,589 --> 01:08:05,520 flying humanoid sightings 1623 01:08:08,829 --> 01:08:07,599 this group of sightings is historical he 1624 01:08:10,349 --> 01:08:08,839 said in 1625 01:08:12,789 --> 01:08:10,359 cryptological 1626 01:08:14,710 --> 01:08:12,799 cryptozoological terms for one it's 1627 01:08:15,750 --> 01:08:14,720 happening in an urban area for the most 1628 01:08:17,910 --> 01:08:15,760 part 1629 01:08:19,829 --> 01:08:17,920 and there are so many sightings in one 1630 01:08:21,590 --> 01:08:19,839 period he added that he believes there 1631 01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:21,600 are at least three flying humanoids 1632 01:08:25,510 --> 01:08:23,359 around chicago due to the varied 1633 01:08:27,110 --> 01:08:25,520 locations the concentrations of 1634 01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:27,120 sightings in certain neighborhoods and 1635 01:08:31,510 --> 01:08:29,199 the small differences in eyewitness 1636 01:08:33,430 --> 01:08:31,520 testimonies so this is pretty 1637 01:08:36,309 --> 01:08:33,440 interesting because it appears that this 1638 01:08:38,229 --> 01:08:36,319 expert who's been interviewing witnesses 1639 01:08:40,550 --> 01:08:38,239 he doesn't think there's a moth man he 1640 01:08:42,309 --> 01:08:40,560 thinks there's moth men 1641 01:08:43,910 --> 01:08:42,319 three of them 1642 01:08:45,430 --> 01:08:43,920 the main reference point strickler uses 1643 01:08:47,269 --> 01:08:45,440 for explaining this phenomenon was the 1644 01:08:49,990 --> 01:08:47,279 wave of reported mothman sightings in 1645 01:08:52,789 --> 01:08:50,000 point pleasant west virginia from 1966 1646 01:08:54,950 --> 01:08:52,799 to 1967 there were several reports of a 1647 01:08:56,149 --> 01:08:54,960 large bird-like man with glowing red 1648 01:08:59,430 --> 01:08:56,159 eyes 1649 01:09:02,709 --> 01:09:01,269 strickler doesn't believe however that 1650 01:09:04,870 --> 01:09:02,719 chicagoans have been seeing or 1651 01:09:06,870 --> 01:09:04,880 harbingers of bad things to come 1652 01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:06,880 these beings are less aggressive than 1653 01:09:10,550 --> 01:09:08,400 the one in point pleasant for the most 1654 01:09:12,229

new york and 1799 01:18:40,709 --> 01:18:38,560 west virginia is pretty far distance 1800 01:18:42,950 --> 01:18:40,719 from new york state so i'm not sure that 1801 01:18:46,070 --> 01:18:42,960 those two things are connected 1802 01:18:47,590 --> 01:18:46,080 um but but yeah and victor cagliaro is 1803 01:18:49,270 --> 01:18:47,600 here mentioning i still remember the 1804 01:18:51,110 --> 01:18:49,280 movie about the mothman with richard 1805 01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:51,120 gere i think it was a great movie i 1806 01:18:54,550 --> 01:18:52,800 think they did a great job and of course 1807 01:18:56,550 --> 01:18:54,560 hollywood over dramatizes things but 1808 01:18:58,950 --> 01:18:56,560 it's a movie they have to 1809 01:19:01,750 --> 01:18:58,960 historically they got a few things wrong 1810 01:19:02,790 --> 01:19:01,760 but i think it really tells a compelling 1811 01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:02,800 story 1812 01:19:06,229 --> 01:19:04,480 of what it was like and and what 1813 01:19:07,189 --> 01:19:06,239 happened at the time and 1814 01:19:09,510 --> 01:19:07,199 you know the people that were 1815 01:19:12,390 --> 01:19:09,520 investigating it looking into it 1816 01:19:14,550 --> 01:19:12,400 and how it affected this strange small 1817 01:19:18,310 --> 01:19:14,560 town in west virginia sleepy small town 1818 01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:18,320 in west virginia not

forgetting 1822 01:19:27,590 --> 01:19:25,840 to leave that out bob ritter says have a 1823 01:19:29,669 --> 01:19:27,600 feeling the mothman was a result of some 1824 01:19:31,110 --> 01:19:29,679 weird super soldier experiment 1825 01:19:33,030 --> 01:19:31,120 actually at the time some people 1826 01:19:35,910 --> 01:19:33,040 believed that it may have been an animal 1827 01:19:38,070 --> 01:19:35,920 that was mutated by chemicals that were 1828 01:19:40,470 --> 01:19:38,080 in and around this tnt area so there's 1829 01:19:43,510 --> 01:19:40,480 another explanation for you maybe it was 1830 01:19:44,870 --> 01:19:43,520 an animal that got you know 1831 01:19:46,790 --> 01:19:44,880 remember like teenage mutant ninja 1832 01:19:49,110 --> 01:19:46,800 turtles they got oozed 1833

01:19:57,990 --> 01:19:54,800 there were some strange chemicals in 1837 01:20:02,550 --> 01:19:58,000 that tnt area that somehow 1838 01:20:07,430 --> 01:20:05,750 some somehow mutated uh a live

01:54:50,719 release any of that information before 2778 01:54:55,669 --> 01:54:53,440 she offered me anything in return i say 2779 01:54:57,750 --> 01:54:55,679 on that clip this was not a tit for tat 2780 01:54:59,669 --> 01:54:57,760 that's not what happened 2781 01:55:01,109 --> 01:54:59,679 but people are going to take that clip 2782 01:55:02,870 --> 01:55:01,119 trying to make me look like i did some 2783 01:55:04,550 --> 01:55:02,880 kind of big back room deal and by the 2784 01:55:05,910 --> 01:55:04,560 way that whole thing is ridiculous 2785 01:55:07,990 --> 01:55:05,920 anyway because the whole story fell 2786 01:55:09,430 --> 01:55:08,000 apart do people really think that i 2787 01:55:11,350 --> 01:55:09,440 thought i was going to get an exclusive 2788 01:55:12,390 --> 01:55:11,360 interview with anjali and her alien 2789 01:55:14,390 --> 01:55:12,400 friends 2790 01:55:16,709 --> 01:55:14,400 if i just kept my mail shut and the 2791 01:55:19,030 --> 01:55:16,719 other issue is that i knew that other 2792 01:55:21,750 --> 01:55:19,040 people were hot on the trail of this 2793 01:55:23,910 --> 01:55:21,760 anjali waynes mountain i knew people 2794 01:55:25,910

01:55:32,310 --> 01:55:30,000 so i thought there's no harm in me not 2798 01:55:34,870 --> 01:55:32,320 releasing it because somebody's going to 2799 01:55:36,470 --> 01:55:34,880 release this in the next couple of weeks 2800 01:55:37,750 --> 01:55:36,480 and what happened 2801 01:55:39,589 --> 01:55:37,760 three 2802 01:55:42,149 --> 01:55:39,599 maybe four 2803 01:55:44,550 --> 01:55:42,159 four

landers says having the so-called 3075 02:06:02,709 --> 02:06:00,719 experiencers on the show is definitely 3076 02:06:05,109 --> 02:06:02,719 entertaining maybe have a disclaimer 3077 02:06:07,750 --> 02:06:05,119 before the show yeah but then i then i 3078 02:06:09,990 --> 02:06:07,760 get slagged we did that once and then i 3079 02:06:11,430 --> 02:06:10,000 got slagged for it like oh he

better but what i think is 3091 02:06:45,109 --> 02:06:42,800 when the show gets better and better and 3092 02:06:46,790 --> 02:06:45,119 better more people come in 3093 02:06:54,550 --> 02:06:46,800 and that's just been my experience so 3094 02:06:58,229 --> 02:06:56,149 cosmic toast reminding people some 3095 02:07:00,390 --> 02:06:58,239 people who have mental illnesses i think 3096 02:07:01,830 --> 02:07:00,400 that they're referring to experiencers 3097 02:07:03,589 --> 02:07:01,840 could be you know i'm always very 3098 02:07:05,430 --> 02:07:03,599 cautious when talking to experiencers 3099 02:07:06,870 --> 02:07:05,440 because i don't want to 3100 02:07:09,030 --> 02:07:06,880 exploit somebody that may be just 3101 02:07:11,990 --> 02:07:09,040 suffering from mental

02:07:24,800 criticism by the way i'm sure that 3109 02:07:27,510 --> 02:07:26,480 some people have valid points to make 3110 02:07:29,510 --> 02:07:27,520 and i'm 3111 02:07:32,069 --> 02:07:29,520

people that have uh 3118 02:07:47,750 --> 02:07:46,000 you know some criticism but like i said 3119 02:07:50,790 --> 02:07:47,760 i especially like the constructive 3120 02:07:52,470 --> 02:07:50,800 criticism i don't and i especially like 3121 02:07:53,669 --> 02:07:52,480 people who can't just tell me what i'm 3122 02:07:55,510 --> 02:07:53,679 doing wrong 3123 02:07:56,550 --> 02:07:55,520 or how to do it better but that can show 3124 02:07:58,149 --> 02:07:56,560 me 3125 02:08:00,149 --> 02:07:58,159 what i'm doing wrong and how they're 3126 02:08:01,589 --> 02:08:00,159 doing it better or how they overcame 3127 02:08:03,750 --> 02:08:01,599 that obstacle 3128 02:08:04,709 --> 02:08:03,760 right constructive criticism is great 3129 02:08:06,229 --> 02:08:04,719 thing 3130 02:08:08,470 --> 02:08:06,239 and it means sometimes it means that 3131 02:08:10,470 --> 02:08:08,480 somebody cared enough about you 3132 02:08:11,990 --> 02:08:10,480 to be honest with you 3133

you when 3156 02:08:59,109 --> 02:08:57,040 you need help right 3157 02:09:00,470 --> 02:08:59,119 dan hogan says the problem is with a 3158 02:09:02,629 --> 02:09:00,480 bigger show you've got to bring in the 3159 02:09:04,470 --> 02:09:02,639 grip squad anjali brought over 300 3160 02:09:06,149 --> 02:09:04,480 viewers which is great but look where 3161 02:09:07,990 --> 02:09:06,159 that went just do the show that you want 3162 02:09:09,430 --> 02:09:08,000 to do people will be there well that's 3163 02:09:11,189 --> 02:09:09,440 what we're doing this week we're trying 3164 02:09:12,790 --> 02:09:11,199 to we're kind of popping off in a 3165 02:09:14,790 --> 02:09:12,800 different direction right we're seeing 3166 02:09:16,390 --> 02:09:14,800 where we're seeing where 3167 02:09:19,030 --> 02:09:16,400 this goes and i'm trying to get back to 3168 02:09:20,550 --> 02:09:19,040 the roots of the show dan because the 3169 02:09:22,550 --> 02:09:20,560 roots of the show were supposed to be to 3170 02:09:25,189 --> 02:09:22,560 explain to explore 3171 02:09:28,550 --> 02:09:25,199 strange and esoteric and paranormal 3172 02:09:30,390 --> 02:09:28,560 subjects not one strange and esoteric 3173 02:09:32,709 --> 02:09:30,400 and paranormal subject but it just 3174 02:09:35,510 --> 02:09:32,719 organically went in a certain direction 3175 02:09:38,709 --> 02:09:35,520 and we covered one 3176 02:09:40,790 --> 02:09:38,719 sort of subculture of that genre more 3177 02:09:42,149 --> 02:09:40,800 than we covered all the rest so now we 3178 02:09:44,069 --> 02:09:42,159 got to get back to 3179 02:09:46,870 --> 02:09:44,079 some balance and cover some of the rest 3180 02:09:48,790 --> 02:09:46,880 of the stuff and not be on one beat 3181 02:09:51,189 --> 02:09:48,800 right that because that beat sucks 3182 02:09:52,709 --> 02:09:51,199 sometimes being stuck on the one beat 3183 02:09:55,189 --> 02:09:52,719 it's like you're in a subculture of a 3184 02:09:56,550 --> 02:09:55,199 subculture of a subculture you know 3185 02:09:57,350 --> 02:09:56,560 and how many 3186 02:09:59,189 --> 02:09:57,360 you know 3187 02:10:01,030 --> 02:09:59,199 how many consumers of a subculture of a 3188 02:10:02,390 --> 02:10:01,040 subculture of the subculture can there 3189 02:10:04,550 --> 02:10:02,400 really be 3190 02:10:05,350 --> 02:10:04,560 the answer is not many 3191 02:10:06,550 --> 02:10:05,360 and 3192 02:10:08,229 --> 02:10:06,560 some people 3193 02:10:10,790 --> 02:10:08,239 will say yeah well you're trying to grow 3194 02:10:12,790 --> 02:10:10,800 your ten or you know have a bit yeah 3195 02:10:14,629 --> 02:10:12,800 we'd like to grow the ten and we'd like 3196 02:10:17,189 --> 02:10:14,639 to paint with a little broader strokes 3197 02:10:18,629 --> 02:10:17,199 here so that's what we're going to do um 3198 02:10:21,030 --> 02:10:18,639 i think that's best for the show and 3199 02:10:23,030 --> 02:10:21,040 it's long-term growth we may take a hit 3200 02:10:24,950 --> 02:10:23,040 short term in the numbers because some 3201 02:10:26,950 --> 02:10:24,960 people are tuning in going what he's not 3202 02:10:28,709 --> 02:10:26,960 talking about aliens tonight i don't 3203 02:10:30,870 --> 02:10:28,719 want to see this and they tune out and 3204 02:10:35,589 --> 02:10:30,880 that's okay come back when we talk about 3205 02:10:39,430 --> 02:10:37,350 ryan evans asked do you mind if i asked 3206 02:10:40,709 --> 02:10:39,440 how your eye injury happened steve no 3207 02:10:42,550 --> 02:10:40,719 not at all 3208 02:10:46,069 --> 02:10:42,560 and it's not anything dramatic like i 3209 02:10:48,550 --> 02:10:46,079 didn't get stabbed or shot in the eye 3210 02:10:49,589 --> 02:10:48,560 i had a friend once but uh in his 3211 02:10:52,069 --> 02:10:49,599 defense 3212 02:10:52,870 --> 02:10:52,079 for a while i was wearing a patch on my 3213 02:10:56,229 --> 02:10:52,880 eye 3214 02:10:57,910 --> 02:10:56,239 for some reason everybody thinks she got 3215 02:10:59,350 --> 02:10:57,920 stabbed in the eye or shot in the eye so 3216 02:11:01,589 --> 02:10:59,360 i had a friend he thought i got stabbed 3217 02:11:03,589 --> 02:11:01,599 in the eye for like a year before he 3218 02:11:05,910 --> 02:11:03,599 finally somebody else mentioned what 3219 02:11:08,830 --> 02:11:05,920 really happened what happened was 3220 02:11:12,550 --> 02:11:08,840 i had a brain aneurysm ryan evans 3221 02:11:14,229 --> 02:11:12,560 and the brain aneurysm was right behind 3222 02:11:15,830 --> 02:11:14,239 my eye 3223 02:11:17,830 --> 02:11:15,840 uh 3224 02:11:19,589 --> 02:11:17,840 so it was sort of 3225 02:11:21,830 --> 02:11:19,599 in the brain but in that part of the 3226 02:11:23,589 --> 02:11:21,840 brain right before the optic nerve in 3227 02:11:25,189 --> 02:11:23,599 the eye starts you know what i mean like 3228 02:11:26,310 --> 02:11:25,199 right on the edge of the brain behind 3229 02:11:27,669 --> 02:11:26,320 the eye 3230 02:11:29,990 --> 02:11:27,679 and for those who don't know a brain 3231 02:11:31,430 --> 02:11:30,000 aneurysm is like a bubble that forms in 3232 02:11:33,990 --> 02:11:31,440 the blood vessel 3233 02:11:34,709 --> 02:11:34,000 and if it pops it shoots blood all over 3234 02:11:37,030 --> 02:11:34,719 your 3235 02:11:39,109 --> 02:11:37,040 brain and you either stroke out 3236 02:11:41,430 --> 02:11:39,119 and become probably a vegetable or 3237 02:11:43,189 --> 02:11:41,440 paralyzed can't talk can't walk 3238 02:11:45,430 --> 02:11:43,199 you know 3239 02:11:47,669 --> 02:11:45,440 or you die instantly 3240 02:11:51,109 --> 02:11:47,679 i was very fortunate ryan evans in that 3241 02:11:55,350 --> 02:11:51,119 they got to the aneurysm before it burst 3242 02:11:57,189 --> 02:11:55,360 it was called an unruptured aneurysm and 3243 02:11:59,830 --> 02:11:57,199 unfortunately i had suffered with this 3244 02:12:01,990 --> 02:11:59,840 aneurysm not knowing what was going on 3245 02:12:04,310 --> 02:12:02,000 being so sick i couldn't hold down water 3246 02:12:06,550 --> 02:12:04,320 for two weeks puking and 3247 02:12:08,149 --> 02:12:06,560 it was terrible finally got into a 3248 02:12:09,910 --> 02:12:08,159 hospital and they diagnosed it 3249 02:12:11,750 --> 02:12:09,920 immediately but by that time there was 3250 02:12:13,189 --> 02:12:11,760 an extensive amount of damage to my 3251 02:12:15,589 --> 02:12:13,199 optic nerve 3252 02:12:18,550 --> 02:12:15,599 where the aneurysm was 3253 02:12:20,550 --> 02:12:18,560 so that caused paralysis so basically i 3254 02:12:22,470 --> 02:12:20,560 have what most people would call a lazy 3255 02:12:23,430 --> 02:12:22,480 eye or a wonky eye 3256 02:12:25,830 --> 02:12:23,440 um 3257 02:12:28,149 --> 02:12:25,840 i'm still able to see i walked away from 3258 02:12:29,510 --> 02:12:28,159 that situation ryan evans i couldn't i 3259 02:12:30,950 --> 02:12:29,520 could have stroked out 3260 02:12:32,870 --> 02:12:30,960 i could have had an instant stroke i 3261 02:12:35,030 --> 02:12:32,880 could have died 3262 02:12:37,589 --> 02:12:35,040 very easily so 3263 02:12:40,470 --> 02:12:37,599 i consider myself still lucky it sucks 3264 02:12:42,550 --> 02:12:40,480 right i had plans to do acting and all 3265 02:12:45,030 --> 02:12:42,560 this other things and it sort of put me 3266 02:12:47,430 --> 02:12:45,040 on a different path because 3267 02:12:49,669 --> 02:12:47,440 you know that 3268 02:12:52,390 --> 02:12:49,679 cameras are uh 3269 02:12:54,069 --> 02:12:52,400 i suppose cameras are enough you know 3270 02:12:55,510 --> 02:12:54,079 like 3271 02:12:57,990 --> 02:12:55,520 what's the right way to say it it's just 3272 02:13:00,069 --> 02:12:58,000 that there's such oh the scrutiny if 3273 02:13:02,550 --> 02:13:00,079 you're going to be on film is so high 3274 02:13:04,709 --> 02:13:02,560 that having an eye looking one way 3275 02:13:05,669 --> 02:13:04,719 and not the other way the right way or 3276 02:13:07,669 --> 02:13:05,679 something 3277 02:13:09,270 --> 02:13:07,679 you know i did one project where a 3278 02:13:11,510 --> 02:13:09,280 director hired me and then they didn't 3279 02:13:13,669 --> 02:13:11,520 know about my eye and they had to do 3280 02:13:15,270 --> 02:13:13,679 some reshoots and that 3281 02:13:17,189 --> 02:13:15,280 made me say i i just don't want to do 3282 02:13:19,189 --> 02:13:17,199 this because i was embarrassed you know 3283 02:13:21,669 --> 02:13:19,199 it was like oh we have to do a reshoot 3284 02:13:23,189 --> 02:13:21,679 because your one eye is looking this way 3285 02:13:24,470 --> 02:13:23,199 and your other eyes looking that way and 3286 02:13:26,709 --> 02:13:24,480 then he said why don't you tell me about 3287 02:13:29,270 --> 02:13:26,719 your eye because sometimes without the 3288 02:13:30,790 --> 02:13:29,280 glasses you can't really notice but then 3289 02:13:33,910 --> 02:13:30,800 it becomes more noticeable as i'm 3290 02:13:36,629 --> 02:13:33,920 looking around or whatever anyway i had 3291 02:13:38,790 --> 02:13:36,639 a brain aneurysm the um 3292 02:13:40,629 --> 02:13:38,800 the aneurysm was unruptured they coiled 3293 02:13:42,870 --> 02:13:40,639 it so i'm healthy they fixed the 3294 02:13:45,109 --> 02:13:42,880 aneurysm but unfortunately the nerve 3295 02:13:46,229 --> 02:13:45,119 damage caused the paralysis of one of my 3296 02:13:48,709 --> 02:13:46,239 eyes 3297 02:13:51,270 --> 02:13:48,719 which does cause double vision sometimes 3298 02:13:54,790 --> 02:13:51,280 and i drive with one eye closed i drive 3299 02:13:56,229 --> 02:13:54,800 with a weak eye closed or with a patch 3300 02:13:58,229 --> 02:13:56,239 otherwise i and then i have depth 3301 02:14:00,390 --> 02:13:58,239 perception problems but i'm walking 3302 02:14:03,830 --> 02:14:00,400 around and breathing ryan evans so i 3303 02:14:06,950 --> 02:14:05,350 yes and the sixth sense correctly 3304 02:14:08,950 --> 02:14:06,960 pointing out a brain aneurysm can cause 3305 02:14:10,149 --> 02:14:08,960 a significant impact on vision by 3306 02:14:13,669 --> 02:14:10,159 causing 3307 02:14:15,830 --> 02:14:13,679 pressure to the optic nerve in the brain 3308 02:14:17,589 --> 02:14:15,840 yeah uh yeah and somebody else 3309 02:14:19,750 --> 02:14:17,599 commenting don't let it bother you bro 3310 02:14:20,629 --> 02:14:19,760 well i don't but 3311 02:14:21,750 --> 02:14:20,639 listen 3312 02:14:24,470 --> 02:14:21,760 uh 3313 02:14:25,750 --> 02:14:24,480 as far as being on screen i realized 3314 02:14:27,589 --> 02:14:25,760 doing magic shows i could just wear 3315 02:14:30,709 --> 02:14:27,599 sunglasses or a patch and then i 3316 02:14:32,310 --> 02:14:30,719 wouldn't think about my wonky eye or 3317 02:14:33,510 --> 02:14:32,320 that it's distracting because it is 3318 02:14:35,430 --> 02:14:33,520 distracting 3319 02:14:37,669 --> 02:14:35,440 you know 3320 02:14:39,430 --> 02:14:37,679 if i didn't have these glasses on 3321 02:14:41,750 --> 02:14:39,440 sometimes my eyes would be looking in 3322 02:14:44,069 --> 02:14:41,760 two different directions and it looks 3323 02:14:45,910 --> 02:14:44,079 really wackadoo and 3324 02:14:48,709 --> 02:14:45,920 creepy and weird 3325 02:14:50,870 --> 02:14:48,719 and it's distracting from the show so 3326 02:14:53,589 --> 02:14:50,880 for that reason i chose to just i wear 3327 02:14:55,750 --> 02:14:53,599 the sunglasses nobody sees my wonky eye 3328 02:14:58,470 --> 02:14:55,760 looking one way and my good eye looking 3329 02:15:00,790 --> 02:14:58,480 the right way and and then i'm not 3330 02:15:02,870 --> 02:15:00,800 self-conscious about what's my eye doing 3331 02:15:04,870 --> 02:15:02,880 i'm not i don't have anxiety about it i 3332 02:15:06,950 --> 02:15:04,880 don't worry about it i just do the show 3333 02:15:09,189 --> 02:15:06,960 and i don't worry about my eye and 3334 02:15:11,430 --> 02:15:09,199 interestingly the sunglasses sort of 3335 02:15:12,950 --> 02:15:11,440 become a trademark after a while 3336 02:15:13,830 --> 02:15:12,960 and uh and 3337 02:15:16,629 --> 02:15:13,840 you know 3338 02:15:18,390 --> 02:15:16,639 all my avatars my profile pictures are 3339 02:15:20,069 --> 02:15:18,400 all me like this 3340 02:15:21,350 --> 02:15:20,079 and it becomes sort of a trademark 3341 02:15:23,430 --> 02:15:21,360 people 3342 02:15:25,030 --> 02:15:23,440 you know they 3343 02:15:26,550 --> 02:15:25,040 they know you as that guy in the 3344 02:15:28,390 --> 02:15:26,560 sunglasses you know once in a while i 3345 02:15:29,990 --> 02:15:28,400 get a stupid comment because somebody's 3346 02:15:32,069 --> 02:15:30,000 like why wearing sunglasses inside 3347 02:15:34,470 --> 02:15:32,079 stupid and then they feel dumb when they 3348 02:15:36,550 --> 02:15:34,480 realize that i'm handicapped 3349 02:15:38,870 --> 02:15:36,560 but it's all good right 3350 02:15:40,629 --> 02:15:38,880 yes and uh on the rise says the 3351 02:15:41,910 -->
