Brent Thomas of the Paranormal Portal.
Welcome to Bigfoot Crossroads. How you doing.

2
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.079
I'm doing brilliant, man, Thanks
for having me on. I'm thrilled

3
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.679
that we finally get a chance to
sit down and have a conversation. Brother.

4
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.399
Yeah, for sure, We've been
going back and forth in the online

5
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.240
weirdo community for a while. Now
I'm glad to have you here and hear

6
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.079
your voice for a change on big
Foot Crossroads. Man, it's awesome.

7
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.239
Well, it really is cool to
be here. You know, you and

8
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.159
I have been friends in in the
same orbit as we were talking about just

9
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.799
before recording. It's like, you
know, we've known of each other and

10
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.879
known each other for years, but
it's just, you know, life happens,

11
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.719
and so I'm really am thrilled to
be on here with you. Brother.

12
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.599
I've been listening to you long before
I ever had a show. I

13
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.840
was listening to you and the boys. So it's a pleasure to be here.

14
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.280
Man. I do have to ask, you know, I apologize in

15
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.280
advance. I just got back from
being out a stay for a week and

16
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.079
I'm fighting a cold, so you're
good man. Well, I might get

17
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.760
froggy, so I apologize to all
the listeners out there. I'm not currently

18
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.599
in puberty, but I may sound
like it's okay man, we're here for

19
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.239
you. I thank you very much. So yeah, it's good to be

20
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.959
here. So how long have you
been doing the Portal now? Oh god?

21
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.439
I started the Portal as internet radio
show in April of twenty sixteen,

22
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.599
so I guess it's seven years now, right, Yeah? Is that right?

23
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:12.319
You're an old man? Yeah,
and my mask getting worse, That's

24
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.879
why I asked. But yeah,
I started out then and it was an

25
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.039
internet radio show for probably a year, just over a year, and then

26
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.879
I decided to spiderweb onto YouTube as
well, So then I started in twenty

27
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.639
seventeen. I started on my YouTube
channel and just kind of experimented with things

28
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.400
and fun fact, I started out
doing reaction videos before reaction videos were a

29
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:43.199
thing, but it was before the
common use was kind of identified, so

30
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.199
I kept getting copyright strike, so
I had to quit doing that and I

31
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:51.719
quit doing it completely, and then
just kind of melded it into a topic

32
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.000
show, the variety kind of show
covering all the different paranormal stuff where there's

33
00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:02.199
cryptosdoology, aliens, UFOs, goes, strange phenomena and I just really have

34
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.240
had a blast tune it and and
so I kept doing that for a while

35
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.680
and then it was it was actually
kind of funny. I was I was

36
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.520
doing this show now. As I
said, I listened to you for years

37
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.479
and you were you were one of
my staples. And then also would listen

38
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:22.560
to of course Sasquatch Chronicles and I
would sit I worked in a cubicle at

39
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.800
the time doing marketing and stuff,
and I had headphones on and would always

40
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.479
listen to, you know, both
of these shows. And I was doing

41
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.039
my show on YouTube one time and
suddenly I got a live call into my

42
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.360
show and it was West. It's
like, hey, I's all over because

43
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.280
it was like, oh my god, you know, it's like a bucket

44
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.599
list here. So he talked and
then afterwards he contacted me online. It

45
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.800
said, you know, look,
why why isn't this a podcast? I'm

46
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:58.039
like, I don't know, And
so that's how it became a podcast.

47
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.039
It was it was just kind of
inspired his advice, and I was like,

48
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.680
yeah, you know, I'll give
it a shot. I mean,

49
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.879
of course I'd listen to podcasts,
but it never really thought, well,

50
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.360
do I have a podcast. I
just had a show, so U and

51
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.800
it's been really cool. It's been
wonderful to do it and to have an

52
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:18.439
opportunity to talk to so many incredible
people about their experiences, seeing the experiences

53
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.800
through their eyes, and you know, I guess the whole journey has been

54
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.720
kind of like me just trying to
understand this stuff because there's something going on

55
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.920
in our world. There's a lot
of things going on in our world that's

56
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.480
largely ignored by our you know,
traditional Western thinking, but it's happening.

57
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:42.079
People are seeing eight ten feet tall
hairy creatures and such, and they're seeing

58
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.000
UFOs, which is finally starting to
get vindication now, thank god, you

59
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.560
know. And there's having ghost experiences
and and so I just like you know,

60
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:56.959
and having had several of my own
of different different experiences, so I

61
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.800
was like, I just want to
understand this if it's possible too, and

62
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.879
I I really don't know that it
is, But at least every time I

63
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:08.800
talk to somebody that has experiences,
I think I'd learned something new every time,

64
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.360
because everybody sees things a little differently, and somebody I talked to may

65
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.560
just come out and say something they
saw the event that's very similar to events

66
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.600
that have happened to hundreds of other
people, but they saw it in a

67
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.519
unique way and they'll pull some detail. I was like, oh, well

68
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.800
that's interesting. So it's like this
ongoing game of connected dots kind of.

69
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.000
But you know, that's my personal
motivation in doing it. But I just

70
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.160
feel really honored to have a platform
and to have a voice, and to

71
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.360
also be able to help people,
you know. I think it's really cool

72
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.519
that some people have been carrying this
stuff around for decades, you know,

73
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.360
without the outlet, and then they'll
reach out and that you know, hey,

74
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.920
I'd like to come on your show. They'll come on, and then

75
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.959
afterwards getting emails or calls from them
like thank you so much. I've been

76
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.000
carrying this for years, and I
feel so much lighter now. It's like

77
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.720
they're carrying around these bricks, you
know. So it's been really really humbling

78
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.879
and really fascinating and an amazing experience, you know, as you know,

79
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.600
being involved in all of this,
it's it's quite an adventure, it is.

80
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.480
So did you you had your own
events happened to you prior to you

81
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.199
doing your show and everything, so
that was kind of your motivation for having

82
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.680
an interest in these type of topics, like what happened? Why did you

83
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:32.319
experience? Well? Yeah, how
much time we got mad? Because I

84
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:40.959
actually, Okay, so my first
experience that I can recall, and I

85
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.759
don't believe there's any that that happened
prior to this as far as supernatural crypto,

86
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.000
you know, forty en or whatever. Um, But what had happened

87
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.040
was I was hiking. I lived
in, of all places, southeastern Minnesota

88
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.279
along the Mississippi River valley, and
where I grew up was budded right next

89
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:03.160
to a state park, a state
four and so all through my young years,

90
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.040
myself and friends that would be visiting
us very rural, so I didn't

91
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.279
have people near all the time,
but when they would come in during the

92
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.519
summers and stuff, we'd go adventure
on the bluff and stuff. And I

93
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.360
think I was about fourteen years old
at this time, and I was hiking

94
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:24.160
up there on the bluff, which
is oddly enough called Rattlesnake Bluff. True

95
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.319
true story. But um, we're
hiking up there, and we've been up

96
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.600
there on the bluff and it's you
know, it stated forest, it's all

97
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.560
rough land, there's nuts, you
know any any there's houses within eyeshot near,

98
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.959
but not anywhere near where we actually
were, because it's again the housing

99
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.399
area butts right up to the forest. So we hike up onto this bluff

100
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.920
and we're dorking around up there all
day, pretty much all afternoon whatever,

101
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.560
and it started to get later in
the day and we're like, yeah,

102
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.439
we gotta we gotta find our way
down because it's gonna get dark quick and

103
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.160
we're gonna get stuck up in these
woods with no light. Um. So

104
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.439
we started working our way down and
we're going down this this it's kind of

105
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.240
a ravine. It's like a dry
run, looks like a stream bed,

106
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.879
but it only has water when the
melt off happens in the spring. So

107
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.560
over the you know, hundreds or
thousands of years is carved out this stream

108
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.519
bed and with waterfalls and stutch on
the way down. But at this point

109
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.120
it was blown dry. And so
we're coming down. We got to a

110
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.360
point and not I didn't see anything
unusual. Then, nothing was out of

111
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.680
the ordinary, just another day.
And we stopped at this one point because

112
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.080
you kind of got apply your course. We go down the dry riverbed and

113
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.360
you know, there's lots of rocks
and stuff, and it can be kind

114
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.159
of treacherous. So we stopped,
took a breather, and we're kind of

115
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:43.039
looking ahead at the path, and
suddenly right behind us and and I mean

116
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:50.200
within like eight feet and above maybe
by a couple or few feet, was

117
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.919
this deep, menacing, rumbling growl. And I was like, oh,

118
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.919
my God. And I'm telling you
at I swear to God. I grew

119
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.919
up in this area. I'd lived
there my whole life. The biggest thing

120
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.799
we had in that area was white
till deer, and they don't growl.

121
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.720
Now, at the time, I
didn't know what this could be. I

122
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.639
had no concept of it because whatever
was making this noise was so big and

123
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.039
it was just powerful. And I'm
here to tell you it, it vibrated

124
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.440
my body as much as I heard
the sound. It was just that kind

125
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.080
of power in this in this noise, and I was absolutely frozen. Now,

126
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.840
in a lot of times in experiences, people talk about, you know,

127
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.000
infrasound or being zapped or whatever,
that they couldn't move. I could

128
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.519
move, but I was so afraid
because in my mind, whatever was making

129
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.840
that sound, I was sure it
was about to kill me. I mean,

130
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.039
I just thought I didn't want to
do anything to provoke anything. Now.

131
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.320
Interestingly enough, my friend had the
same exact reaction. We just both

132
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.039
froze and did and it just kept
and I can't even imitate it and do

133
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.159
it justice. It was just so
deep and profound, and I didn't dare

134
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.360
look because I guess I thought I
was going to die and I didn't want

135
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.879
to know what the thing killing me
was going to look like at least,

136
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.120
you know, I was just gonna
be like, you know, I hope

137
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.559
this is quick. I don't know
how this is going to go. But

138
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.799
it was so menacing, it was
so powerful. But finally, after nothing

139
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.159
changing for a few seconds, I'm
like, what the hell is that?

140
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.320
And he goes, I don't know, but we have to get the hell

141
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.840
out of here. And so they
say fight, you know, fight or

142
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.080
flight. You don't want to run
because you don't want to trigger this prague

143
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.960
response. But you know, I
was a fourteen year old kid, and

144
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.440
whatever there was, there was nothing
in the fight category there for me.

145
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.120
It was that was a foregone conclusion. It was like a Q tip here,

146
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.720
you know, And so I knew
that, you know, fighting was

147
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.279
not an option the only thing left
is flight, and so we took off

148
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:05.200
and it didn't pursue, It didn't
make any other noise, but we just

149
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.879
took off and went downhill, never
looked back, and we got we I

150
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.840
mean, we must have run about
three quarters of a mile through this rocky

151
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.120
terrain getting the hell out of there. And when we got to the road,

152
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.320
you know, just turned around finally
to look and nothing was there.

153
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.679
Nothing was coming, no sounds,
nothing. And I carried that forever because

154
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.960
all I knew is we had raccoon, we had fox, we had the

155
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:37.320
occasional coyote. Sometimes stories of like
mountain lions or whatever, but only legendary,

156
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.360
but nothing that was so big that
it was actually so much taller than

157
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.480
us and able to resonate a sound
so menacing and deep, and it was

158
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.879
horrifying. It was to this day. It was the most scared I've ever

159
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.440
been in my entire life. And
I carried that for years, and it

160
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.799
took me out of the woods.
I used to go up in those woods

161
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.159
religiously through the warm months, and
it took me out of those woods for

162
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.759
a couple or a couple of years
or more. But you know, finally,

163
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.639
as a kid, and you know, you want to go hiking,

164
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.399
you want to go do things we
know, and nothing else happening. I

165
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.559
just kind of dismissed it and went
back to, you know, being a

166
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.759
part of the land that I lived
in. But I didn't know what it

167
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.120
was, and it was such a
weird thing, and it just sat in

168
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.360
the back of my mind, like
what is that? What was that?

169
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.039
What could that have been? And
I'm really grateful that I wasn't alone,

170
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:30.480
because I think anytime you have an
experience like that, you second guess yourself,

171
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.000
well, like did that really happen? Was that really something that occurred

172
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.759
or could it have been my imagination? Could it have been you know,

173
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.639
some weird sound that I just misunderstood, or you know, But having both

174
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.039
of us there was really at the
time I was comforting because I was thinking,

175
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:50.919
well, maybe I'm faster than him. But but I didn't know what

176
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.559
to do with it. And you
know, I heard I heard about bigfoots.

177
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.960
I heard about that because I used
to watch In Search of and it's

178
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.919
kind of dating me now you're kind
of get an idea how old I am.

179
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.279
But with Leonard Dimoy and he talked
about big foods, but it was

180
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.320
something in the Pacific Northwest. I'm
in the middle of you know, in

181
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.159
the middle of corn country basically down
there, and so I had no no,

182
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.000
no reference point for what this could
be, and it was just something

183
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.679
that I carried for years. And
it wasn't until the first time that I

184
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.279
heard a sound that reminded me of
it was when I went to the movie

185
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.159
theater and saw the movie Jurassic Park
and it's the part where they're all kind

186
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.559
of trapped in those cars and that
big t Rex is kind of, you

187
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.960
know, wandering around, and then
it sees the flashlight and it comes down,

188
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.679
growling, just down to their level, looking in the car to those

189
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:41.360
kids, and it does this,
and my whole body broke out in chills,

190
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.080
and all my hairs stood on and
it's like, oh, I remember

191
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.519
that, I remember something just like
that, and it really brought me back

192
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.240
to that moment. So then I
started, you know, full disclosure,

193
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.360
I started watching Finding Bigfoot, and
I started to learn that this wasn't a

194
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.879
Pacific Northwest thing was it was everywhere. People are seeing these things everywhere,

195
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.240
and it was like, oh,
my god, is that possible in you

196
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.600
know where I live. Could there
have been one there or some there or

197
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.399
something and it never occurred to me. I went after this realization happened,

198
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.759
I went back up into those woods, and I I, you know,

199
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.799
I know there's there's a lot of
controversy around structures and around tree breaks,

200
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.399
because if you don't see it happened, how do you really attribute it to

201
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.039
a creature or a being? You
know, I mean, you really can't.

202
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.000
I went up into those same woods, started looking around and found like

203
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.799
a dugout structure with all broken sticks, nothing cut up up in that hill.

204
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.919
And then I found like a six
inch round maple sapling that was broke

205
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.240
about four feet off down to the
ground, with no deadfall anywhere near it.

206
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.759
And this is, you know,
this is an untouched land, so

207
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.080
it's not like somebody's out there logging
and knocked down a tree and then drug

208
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.440
it out. But but it was
just and I'm like, well, you

209
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.799
know, they're very pliable, they
don't usually just bend and break. Yeah.

210
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.600
Yeah. So then I was like, wow, maybe it really was.

211
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.360
Maybe that's what I encountered that day, And so I don't have the

212
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.399
luxury saying yeah I had a big, bigfoot encounter, but I hadn't encountered

213
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.519
with something huge, And the only
thing I can think that that makes sense

214
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.879
is that it could be a big
foot, you know. So I guess

215
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.440
it was kind of good to be
able to give it a potential identity.

216
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.440
But can I say it was big
footnote because I didn't look. But I

217
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:39.799
didn't want to die either, so
I made the red call. Yeah,

218
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.679
you know it just sitting here hearing
you talk about it. You know,

219
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:50.080
I've never heard you tell this story. Someone had mentioned to me at some

220
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.279
point, Hey, you should ask
Brent about his bigfoot story, like he's

221
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.559
had a possible bigfoot encounter, and
I've just never taught to you about it

222
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.960
until now. But the way you're
describing it, a couple things come to

223
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.039
mind. Being around that age myself
at the time, me and my cousin

224
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:17.879
were exploring this area on the outskirts
of an extremely small town, a town

225
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.200
with a population of around a hundred
people at the time, and we followed

226
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:27.039
this long, you know, dirt
road. It had the trees growing over

227
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.679
on each side. It kind of
went around a curve and as you came

228
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.200
around the curve, it emptied out. It was actually a driveway, a

229
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.679
really long driveway. For this the
most haunted looking house I've ever seen in

230
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.559
my life. You know, like
Leatherface is going to come busting out of

231
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:47.360
the door at any moment. But
Leatherface didn't come busting out of the door.

232
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.519
What did come busting out was a
rottweiler, not on a leash,

233
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.240
not on a chain or anything.
And that dog, it started barking and

234
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:02.000
kind of trotting towards us. And
as you were saying, at that age,

235
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.880
there is no fight, there is
only flight, right, And I

236
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.279
remember turning around and just hauling ass
as fast as I could. Yeah,

237
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.119
And the next thing I know,
my cousin is just sprinting by me,

238
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.480
just leaving me in the dust entirely, and I was just waiting for that

239
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.279
dog to clamp down on the back
of my leg and kill me. Luckily,

240
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:30.000
obviously nothing happened from it, but
yeah, that that kind of terror

241
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.440
whenever you're a kid. The unknown
part was the hardest, I think for

242
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.160
me, because something was up in
those woods that I'd never encountered before through

243
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.400
years of being up in those woods. Something was now there that absolutely terrified

244
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:47.359
me. And it's it's incredibly immasculine
because you know, you're fourteen, you're

245
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.680
kind of coming of age. Yeah, you kind of you're you're starting a

246
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.160
man up a bit, and you're
yeah, you know, you can do

247
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.759
things. And then they have that
happening and feeling like just a toddler,

248
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:03.119
just feeling like a baby was just
like, oh my god. Yeah,

249
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.960
you're absolutely right. It's a it's
a metric for the rest of my experiences.

250
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.400
I'm sure this is something you've experienced. Talking to other witnesses, you

251
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.200
know, we hear a lot of
these stories from people about where they're like,

252
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:18.759
well, I experienced something. I
don't know what it was. I

253
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.319
didn't see it, you know,
but it could have been. And me

254
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.599
and another colleague were recently talking about
that. There's actually another podcast host that

255
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.160
has something going on on their property
but they're not willing to call it bigfoot

256
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.200
because they haven't seen bigfoot, you
know, and they're explaining it away and

257
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.319
I told him, I was like, you know, if he didn't think

258
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.079
it was bigfoot, he wouldn't be
talking about it, right, Yeah,

259
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.119
you don't. Some of the most
terrifying things you experience, some of the

260
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.920
most substantial encounters that happen, nothing
has ever seen. But the point is

261
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.200
that it sticks with you for the
rest of your life. That to me,

262
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:03.359
that's proof. Yeah, Oh,
I like absolutely, because if it's

263
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.559
if it's if it's powerful enough to
impact your life and how you live it,

264
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.240
then it's substantial. You may not
know the exact cause, but I

265
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.799
mean, how many culprits are you
know, are available for something like that,

266
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:22.839
you know, right, a possible
Bigfoot occurrence at the age of fourteen,

267
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:29.519
Yes, sir. So your interest
obviously isn't just Bigfoot specific. You

268
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.920
your show covers all kinds of crazy
topics, you know, anything unexplained.

269
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:41.519
Did you have any paranormal experiences growing
up or anything? None? None before

270
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.240
that again, that was kind of
my my entry point, and none that

271
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:52.279
I can remember right after that.
My ghostly experiences mostly started when it was

272
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.880
my ex wife and I lived in
a brand new house that my uncle had

273
00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:00.319
built and we were renting from him
just in at the time. We were

274
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.480
waiting to move into our own place, but we stayed in this house that

275
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.599
they built and was just kind of
sitting dormant in a very you know,

276
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:11.519
it's a very suburban area, but
the house was brand new The land was

277
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:18.640
just land before that, and that's
when we first started having ghostly experiences.

278
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.319
So I had a bunch of experiences
in that house, a lot of a

279
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.599
lot of footsteps walking around, which
was very unusual. Um, you know,

280
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.440
sounds that didn't make sense now as
a new house. So you got

281
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.559
to attribute some of that too.
Yeah, you know, it's settling,

282
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:37.279
it's it's you know, making its
footprints as as time goes on. But

283
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.839
but it was I was I used
to smoke at that time, and I

284
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:45.720
was smoking a cigarette and I worked
nights, so on my nights off,

285
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.359
I would just kind of just stay
up late and kind of keep the same

286
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:53.359
schedule. So my wife at the
time was asleep in the bedroom and I

287
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.279
was sitting there smoking a cigarette on
on the floor, leaning against the sofa.

288
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.079
You know, My TV was up
in front of me, and I'm

289
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.960
sitting there smoking a cigarette and suddenly
there's and I didn't know what the hell

290
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.200
this was at the time. I
learned since what it was, but at

291
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.119
the time, I was like,
what the hell is that? Well,

292
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.759
what I saw was this, I
don't know, it was about a quarter

293
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.559
or fifty cent piece size of a
ball of light that was about two feet

294
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:25.640
from my face, just drifting lazily
from my left to my right right at

295
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.799
eye level. I'm like, what
the hell is that? You know,

296
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.039
I had no concept. I had
no concept of what this was. And

297
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.359
I was like, not so bright
you couldn't look into it, but it

298
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:40.680
had that same kind of radiant quality
like the sun, and it just kind

299
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.279
of dripping slowly by my face.
And then by the time I got to

300
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.960
you just pass my right eye,
I'm fallowing out of my eyes and my

301
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.400
head. I'm like, should I
grab it? And then I'm like,

302
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.319
no, I should not grab it. I don't any idea what the all

303
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.599
that is. And so then suddenly
it just you know, pushed away to

304
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.759
my right quicker and was gone.
And I was like, what the hell

305
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.960
is that? I mean, I
didn't have a concept of spirit orbs at

306
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.640
that time, you know, or
orbs. I never heard about it.

307
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.160
So I had this experience, this
little ball of light, and I'm like,

308
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.960
what is that? And you know, since then I've come to,

309
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.720
you know, find out that it's
But we had a lot of other things

310
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:26.880
happened there. One of the creepier
stories, and I'll share this with you

311
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.720
and it's I think it has to
do with the setting more than anything.

312
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.960
The activity was profound, but it
was mostly the setting that made it just

313
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.200
so creepy. So I'd come home
from work. I was working in a

314
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.319
in a factory and it was very
dusty, dirty kind of job. And

315
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:48.519
I got home. No, my
wife had had an absolute talent for doing

316
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.839
dishes right when I'm in the shower, so I got hot, cold,

317
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.079
hot, cold happening, you know. So I was really excited this day

318
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:57.559
because I got home early. I'm
like, oh God, I'm gonna have

319
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:02.720
a fully hot shower. So I
locked up the house, you know,

320
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.279
make sure everything's all secure, h
in the bathroom, you know, stripped

321
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:08.920
down, got in the shower,
and I'm all lathered up. I'm in

322
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:14.559
my you know, steam bath shower, just cooking and in loving life.

323
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.200
And then all of a sudden,
the water goes ice cold. I'm like,

324
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.480
oh God, she must have come
home. I thought maybe she got

325
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.640
home or something. So I'm like, oh, the water is freezing.

326
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.920
I'm all lathered up, I'm like
a I'm like a soap balloon at this

327
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:32.319
point. So I'm like, oh
God, I'm like freezing and rinsing off

328
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:33.319
as quickly as I can. I'm
like, oh, that sucked, you

329
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:38.039
know, shut off the water,
and I hear water running, like a

330
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.200
lot of water running. I'm like, what the hell is that? So

331
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.799
I pull open the curtain. The
hot water faucet in the sink is blasting

332
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.759
full full steam that runs blasting full, and there's steam coming out of there,

333
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.519
and I'm like, oh my god. But just psychologically being naked and

334
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:02.079
being scared is really really creep you
know. It's like, oh God,

335
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:06.319
you know, just thinking something was
in there with me and God only knows,

336
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.559
you know, what's going on,
but it was just the whole not

337
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.559
that clothes off for much protection,
but it's just psychological, you know.

338
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:17.160
But You're standing there in the inner
birthday suits and someone else he can't see

339
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.000
he's in there with you, and
it's like loot. So and then I

340
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.319
letting checked all the doors, the
bathroom door were still locked, went out

341
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.799
the house. Nobody's there. Yeah, very strange. So that that,

342
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.559
to me is one of my creepier
experiences. But it's just because I was

343
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.119
naked at the time. I mean, yeah, that would be terrifying,

344
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.720
absolutely terrifying. Right, And now
some people say oh, it could be

345
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.680
a plumbing issue. Well, I
mean, if if a faucet comes on

346
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.799
a little bit, that's a plumbing
issue. But it was all the way

347
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.559
on. It was a brand new
faucet. It's not like it was kind

348
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.359
of larn the washers were getting weak
and stuff. I mean, it's brand

349
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:53.640
new and it was solid. Never
turned on by itself before or after that,

350
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.319
but it did that time. So
that was a that was a pretty

351
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:02.839
profound experience for me, for manner. But we did finally move out of

352
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.440
there and then moved into the house, which was one else that we were

353
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.200
moving into, which was built in
eighteen ninety four as a Queen Anne Victorian

354
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.960
house and a beautiful old home.
But we had a lot of things happened

355
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.640
there as well. Now I don't
know if you know, I've thought about

356
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.079
it's like, well, did something
follow us or was it already in these

357
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.519
places and just kind of woke up
or you know what? You know,

358
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.000
you don't know, But I had
a lot of different things happened, like

359
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.640
this, this door that went into
the kitchen that you know, those double

360
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.880
swinging doors it goes either way,
is an antake door, but it used

361
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.720
to get hung up on the carpet
and so, you know, into one

362
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.599
room, and then there was tile
in the kitchen, but it was you

363
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.799
know, if you went into the
kitchen, it was fine because it would

364
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.400
just go closed and kind of hit
the carpet and stop. But if you

365
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:51.079
went out, you had to kind
of give it a little elbow grease to

366
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:55.319
get it over the shag carpeting and
so um, I don't know, it

367
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.880
was stuck in the in the open
position. And this this happened to my

368
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.200
ex wife. Actually she was sitting
there alone. Again, I was working

369
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:04.519
nights and the factory stuff. So
um, she was sitting there and the

370
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.839
door was hung up, and suddenly, all by itself, she heard this

371
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:15.279
dragging noise and then like the doors
doing it, you know, back and

372
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.200
forth thing, and she's like,
she freaked her out. And then she

373
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.839
had this really cheap tubular brass furniture
that was real popular back in the day.

374
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:29.440
Yeah, and you could hear every
time anybody was ever, you know,

375
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.119
near them, like they were just
noisy. And we didn't have any

376
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.440
pets or any kids at this time, so it was just her alone another

377
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:40.279
night and she said, suddenly she
was hearing squeaking chairs, like somebody was

378
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.519
sitting in the chairs and stuff,
and it really really freaked her out.

379
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.440
And again, these are kind of
one off experiences. It's not like they

380
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.039
happened all the time. It was
just this weird, random stuff that would

381
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.400
happen, and so, you know, it freaked her out. And eventually

382
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:59.920
we separated and divorced. Um not
because of this, but you know it's

383
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.960
certainly probably didn't know, but um, I was living then alone in the

384
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:08.279
house at the time, and by
then the two wheeler brass furniture was gone

385
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.799
because you know, we got divorce. She took her with her or whatever.

386
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.440
So, um, I'm leaving my
house one day, and I came

387
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.279
out of the kitchen and went through
the dining room, which is now empty.

388
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.599
But in the dining room ceiling there's
this this chandelier and it's a it's

389
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.920
an older chandelier, not necessarily antique, but it was older from probably the

390
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:32.960
fifties or something. And I walked
through the dining room and I reached to

391
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.240
grab the door to go out onto
my porch and then outside to my car.

392
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.240
But I reached and grabbed the door
handle, and sudden they had this

393
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:44.279
feeling like turn around, So,
I mean it was it wasn't really a

394
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.200
thought, it was just a feeling
like I should turn around. So I

395
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.839
had my hand still on the door
handle, and I turned around, and

396
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:55.279
just as I looked back into the
dining room, that chandelier pulled out of

397
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:59.599
the ceiling and crashed to the floor. Now when I say pulled out of

398
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.720
the ceiling, I mean screws and
plaster came down as well. It was

399
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.200
like it didn't just always and really
hung well. It was there for you

400
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.640
know, probably fifty years or better, and that at that moment it was

401
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.240
yanked out of my ceiling and crashed
onto the floor. And I was like,

402
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.880
oh my god, so true story. It really happened. Wow,

403
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.920
Yeah, that one was. That
one was a little a little freakier.

404
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.240
But you know, and I say
this every time anybody asked it, because

405
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.079
they're like, did that terrify you? And I think, honestly, and

406
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.480
I say this with all sincerity,
I think there's something wrong with me because

407
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.759
actually when that happened, it pissed
me off. It's like, oh God,

408
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.000
now I gotta fix that. And
I swear to God, you know,

409
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.000
because I mean, it's not like
life wasn't already hard enough. Now

410
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.799
I'm gonna figure out how to repair
antique plaster or and you know, rehan

411
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.240
a chandelier and all that. So
I was really upset, but I didn't

412
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.920
get scared, you know. So
I don't know if something's wrong with me

413
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.599
or not. But that's how I
filtered. It was with disgust and rage.

414
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.319
So having you know, the initial
experience out in the woods, and

415
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.119
then these events happen to you,
and then you've been doing this podcast that

416
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:17.480
spans all these different type of topics. Do you have one that interests you

417
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:22.279
more than the others? You know, I don't think I do, I

418
00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.559
tell you what, They all fascinate
me. You know, maybe for the

419
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:33.279
same reasons, because I think that
each of these different topics serves to remind

420
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.960
us that we we don't really know
our world as well as we think we

421
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.319
do. You know, we have
this real, real arrogance about us,

422
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.480
like you know, we've conquered the
known world kind of thing. But this

423
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.839
stuff just seems to happen in the
face of all that and goes. Maybe

424
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.039
it's saying, you know, you
guys still have a lot to learn,

425
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:55.000
you know, like there might I
don't know if it's a divine purpose to

426
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.720
it or not, but it seems
to be like it happens to show us,

427
00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.279
you know, there's more here,
you're missing some of it. And

428
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.319
I don't know, you know,
what the endgame of that is, but

429
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.880
I think it's kind of like Nicola
Tesla said that as soon as we start,

430
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.839
you know, really exploring the non
physical, then we're going to make

431
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.799
more strides than we have in all
of combined history. And I think he's

432
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:19.920
onto something there, because I mean, if you think about it, Matt

433
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.599
people, the chandelier pulled out of
my ceiling with no force visible there to

434
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.359
do it. I've seen objects move, I've had a pen and roll away

435
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.680
from my hand as I was going
to grab it. I've had doors slam

436
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.640
and shut and you know, no
visible perpetrator. And then you know,

437
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:44.960
we got these huge beings running around
in our forests that are not even acknowledged

438
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.079
by our sciences, even in the
face of what I think is overwhelming evidence.

439
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.000
They just won't look into it.
And then we're being visited apparently by

440
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.599
beings from you know, who knows
where there's transdimensional or the distant reaches of

441
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:03.000
the Cosmos, but they're coming here. You'll ing devices that defy our known

442
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.279
understanding of physics. And so it's
like every one of these things stands to

443
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.599
teach us something more about our world
because we have all these examples, and

444
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.599
I find that fascinating, and I
honestly don't want to live in a world

445
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:22.279
where it's just all labeled and categorized
and put on a shelf, because that,

446
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:23.960
to me would be boring. I
love that there's still mystery and there's

447
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:30.640
still discovery, and that we stand
to learn so much just by looking deeper

448
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.039
into these things. And so I
don't pretend that I'm the guy that's going

449
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.440
to crack the case, but I
do find it absolutely fascinating, you know,

450
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.519
from a personal standpoint, and from
you know, the idea that maybe

451
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.599
all of this is meant to teach
us something, you know what I mean.

452
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:49.599
Yeah, for sure, I think
it's extremely egotistical of us as a

453
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:57.160
civilization to think that we've got anything
figured out. You know. I was

454
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:01.279
just talking to somebody the other day
about how, you know, the human

455
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:07.240
lineage went a certain direction with technology
because of certain discoveries that we made,

456
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:13.960
most likely you know, by complete
accident and so we followed that path which

457
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:16.440
led us to this point. Right, But it could have you know,

458
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:21.000
we could have discovered an entirely different
type of technology that would have took us

459
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:25.480
down an entirely different path. Right. Uh. It's just really interesting to

460
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:31.359
think about. And that's just here
on our own planet, and we're nothing

461
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:37.079
in the grand scheme of things.
Sure, yeah, exactly. I mean

462
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.480
if you think about even like the
microwave, and I was it was discovered

463
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:44.759
because some guy had his ice cream
too close to a microwave emitting device and

464
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:49.119
realized, hey, you can cook
cook with us. Hey, hey that

465
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.319
it screams a boddle all of a
sudden. So I and it almost seems

466
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:57.200
like there there's a there's almost an
intelligence to some of this, and I

467
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.319
think that you know, it happens
to all of us, maybe or any

468
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.359
variety of reasons. But I just
think this stuff is showing us something.

469
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:08.799
This is the breadcrumbs, and I
think it's arrogant not to at least follow

470
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:13.680
it and see where that leads.
And not that everything's going to teach us

471
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.680
some profound truth, but I mean, you know, things like like with

472
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:23.599
again with the spiritual stuff, that
things objects, levitating objects, disappearing and

473
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:29.720
reappearing in impossible places, like a
crawl space that nobody goes to. It's

474
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:31.200
like, well, how the hell
did that happen? That's like a star

475
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.839
trek kind of thing. You know, you phase it out one place and

476
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.440
it appears somewhere else. Is that, you know, some kind of weird

477
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.720
wormholes or is there an intelligence behind
it? Is there? You know,

478
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.279
is there a portals happening that you
know we don't understand. You know,

479
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.559
all of this is demonstrating something incredible, you know, and I think it's

480
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:54.200
again, I think it's foolish to
ignore that just because it doesn't fit into

481
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:59.200
the box that we have set aside
for physics and science. You know,

482
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.680
a friend of mine who lives here
in Oklahoma. We chat back and forth

483
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:10.480
on a pretty regular basis. She's
actually been on the podcast before when we've

484
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.719
kind of, you know, we
struck up a friendship with our mutual interest

485
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:21.599
in the paranormal and all these kind
of things. And one day she messaged

486
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.000
me and she was asking me about
hair ties. She was like, you

487
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.880
know, those little black rubber band
hair ties come in all different colors that

488
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:31.079
girls, you know, put ponytails
up in and everything. I was like,

489
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:35.639
yeah, sure, and she was
like, well, I've been finding

490
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.519
them. I was like, okay, you know, and she's like,

491
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:43.320
but I've been finding them in like
very specific places, Like I'll get out

492
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.159
of my car at the grocery store
and go grocery shopping, and then when

493
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:50.280
I come back, there's one like
laying right next to my car door on

494
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.679
the ground, and it's always it's
always a black one. They're always black,

495
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.760
no other color, huh. And
I was like, okay, well

496
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.159
and she was like, well,
I you know, they're pretty common.

497
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.840
You know, lots of people wear
them, so it's not that big of

498
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.320
a deal. And I was like
sure, and she's like, let me

499
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:12.039
send you a picture. And she
sends me a picture and she had like

500
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:17.000
a pile of like a hundred of
them that she had found randomly. Wow.

501
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:22.039
I mean that seems a message.
Yeah, yeah, So yeah,

502
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.079
what are they trying to say?
Are they trying to communicate with us?

503
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.440
Are they trying to show us something
like what's the deal? You know,

504
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:34.079
there's that whole movie trope about oh
they want help, you know, passing

505
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.880
on or whatever. But what do
you think you've talked to a lot of

506
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.519
people. Do you think they're really
trying to communicate with the living? Are

507
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:45.719
they even the deceased at all?
Is it really the ghost of people that

508
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.360
we're dealing with? What do you
think's going on? Well, that's kind

509
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.400
of the million dollar really that,
But it appears to be in a lot

510
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:57.960
of cases, you know, like
when when my dad passed away. This

511
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.840
is kind of a personal story,
but I'm happy to share it here.

512
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:04.480
Um. I think I think that
our loved ones do find ways to come

513
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.559
through to us. And sometimes symbology
is a big thing, like symbols that

514
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:13.480
maybe make them make us think about
them or think about things attributed to them.

515
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.639
And so it can be a song
that you just managed to always hear

516
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.719
her, or it could be you
know, I don't know, could be

517
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.559
a cardinal, a bird or you
know, something that you just notice,

518
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:27.239
or a butterfly. It seems to
be real common symbols. But I do

519
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:31.320
think that that's that's part of them
reaching through the veil. Now, Is

520
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:35.000
am I sure about that? No? I mean, I don't know for

521
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:39.599
sure what's here, but I think
that that, like with my dad's situation,

522
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:46.360
he chose dreams and it was perfect. So my dad and I had

523
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:51.800
a real challenging relationship. We butted
heads a lot. He was a very

524
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.880
stubborn man, and I'm a very
stubborn man, sou and he was very

525
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.000
old school, just kind of my
way or the highway kind of guy.

526
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:02.079
And you know, and it's not
like there wasn't a love between us.

527
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:06.199
We did love each other, but
it was just we just boumed head's a

528
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:14.280
lot. And he got the COPD
there breathing issues and it was getting sick,

529
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.239
and you know, I went and
visited he me at home, but

530
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:21.320
then I came back out here where
I live in North Idaho. The home,

531
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.000
of course is still in Minnesota,
but you know, and we visited

532
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:29.719
a little bit, but there's still
a million things left unstead. And then

533
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:32.880
the phone call came. It's like, yeah, your dad died. I

534
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:40.679
was like, oh. And it's
this crushing feeling of having all of these

535
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.719
things that probably should have been said
and had a million opportunities to say them,

536
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:52.760
but for our own reasons, we
choose and chose never to actually have

537
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:58.000
that dialogue. And so it was
it was really really a painful thing because

538
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.039
I was like, wow, I
guess I got to carry this the rest

539
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:05.320
of my life, you know,
because there's no way for me to do

540
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:08.719
that. But anyway, so I
was kind of feeling bad and you know,

541
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:15.440
feeling sad that that was the way
our relationship ended. And then I

542
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.800
went to sleep one night and I'm
here to tell you I had a dream

543
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:25.639
that was so real. It's more
real than me sitting here in my studio

544
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:34.039
talking to you. Everything was absolutely
brilliantly vibrant and alive. I was standing

545
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:38.159
in his living room and there he
was, and I had perfect consciousness about

546
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:40.320
it. It's not like when you're
in a dream and you're you kind of

547
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:45.639
figure things out. It's like that
whole experience. I knew where I was,

548
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.360
I knew that I was me,
and you know, and what all

549
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:52.480
of my emotional stuff I was fully
cognition of. So I was in perfect

550
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.760
lucidity and I turned and there he
was, standing in the living room,

551
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.119
just a few feet away from me. I'm like Dad, and I put

552
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:05.280
out my arms and he put out
his arms and we embraced. And I'm

553
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:10.039
here to tell you it smelled like
him, it felt like him. Everything

554
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.400
about him was just as as as
sincere and real as as if he was

555
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.639
really standing in front of me in
this room, and and I could,

556
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:24.079
you know, feel him now he
I don't remember him actually speaking, but

557
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:29.679
we had an entire dialogue as we
stood there embracing, and I'm like,

558
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:34.280
I'm so sorry I wasn't a better
son, and he's like, you know,

559
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.960
I'm so sorry I wasn't a better
dad, And and we were able

560
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:43.840
to just in that moment, we're
able to connect and and and heal.

561
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:50.119
And it was this entirely cathartic experience
of being able to put that to rest.

562
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:52.960
And then before I knew it,
you know, his embrace ended,

563
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:55.960
and and then it was like bomos. Back in my bed, I woke

564
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.960
up just sobbing, just you know, tears rolling it down my face.

565
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:07.199
And it was incredibly powerful and beautiful. And I know that some people out

566
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.440
there may be, well, you
know, it's just your subconscious coming to

567
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.119
terms of the fact your father died, and so you created this experience so

568
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.360
you could, you know, you
could have peace with it and move on.

569
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.320
But I'm a great creative person.
But as far as I can tell,

570
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:28.719
that experience was as real as and
more real in many ways than most

571
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.400
of my life, and so I
think he did come through, and I

572
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:37.199
think they do come through our dreams
because that's when it's easiest for them to

573
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:40.760
do that. You know, we
don't have all our distractions and noises and

574
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.639
internets and radios and TVs and stuff
that pull us off of you know,

575
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:51.119
off of that, that introspective openness, and so I think he came to

576
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:55.119
me so that we could heal.
And it was beautiful and it was powerful.

577
00:40:55.639 --> 00:41:00.679
And while many people may dismiss it, it's a real experience for me

578
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:06.000
regardless, because it did help me
to heal. It helped me to close

579
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:10.360
that sore, that open wound that
I was carrying, and I'm very,

580
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:15.760
very grateful for it, you know, that's first off. That's awesome.

581
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:23.000
Yeah, absolutely awesome. And I'm
sure this is something that you know,

582
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:28.000
you're fully aware of based on you
know, the format of your own podcast

583
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.840
and your own interest in this subject
and the type of person that you are.

584
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:38.800
It's easy to sit here and have
discussions about the topics of the paranormal

585
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:46.360
and the unexplained phenomenon that goes on
and dissect what happens, and you know,

586
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:52.719
reports and encounters and all that.
But whenever you talk to the witnesses,

587
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:59.039
whenever you talk to the people that
have these things going on in their

588
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:05.599
lives, these are experiences. Yeah, we're not talking about the topic of

589
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:10.199
ghosts and the paranormal. We're talking
about a person's experience, Yes, and

590
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:17.679
that makes it one hundred percent real. And that's what's to me so frustrating

591
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:24.920
that the scientific community and the public
at large kind of you know, looks

592
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:28.920
at this tongue in cheek or you
know, like, yeah, that's a

593
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:34.440
pseudoscience whatever. You know, it
doesn't make any scientific sense, and you

594
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:39.440
know that's not possible. They're ignoring
the experience factor. They're ignoring the fact

595
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:45.159
that, okay, but this is
something that someone's experiencing, so that that

596
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.840
perspective makes it real no matter what
it lines up with in terms of,

597
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:54.559
you know, adhering to our scientific
protocols and our understanding of how things work.

598
00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:00.320
Right. Yeah, it's a very
powerful thing. Right. No,

599
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:04.840
I agree wholeheartedly. And you know, I mean, what whatever becomes real

600
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:07.639
to us is our reality. And
so I mean, if I believed in

601
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.760
you know, there were a unicorns
dance in my backyard, there are unicorns

602
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.039
dancing in my backyard in kind of
a shortinger Cat's way, until you know,

603
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:20.400
somebody goes in and actively tries to
debunk that. But I mean,

604
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.400
our reality is subjective, you know, and I understand that, and I

605
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:29.400
also understand that people defend their paradigm
fiercely, like the people that are already

606
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:32.079
skeptical. Yeah, I mean,
I'm not even sure that there's a way

607
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:38.599
to make them believe, you know, because they don't their world is safe,

608
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:43.079
you know, the way that they
see it, and something threatening somebody's

609
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:47.679
worldview is incredibly you know, powerful
and could be detrimental for the people that

610
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:52.239
are you know, so tied up
in that identity. But you know,

611
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.239
here's the thing, And you mentioned
the word and you said pseudoscience, and

612
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:00.719
I'm here to tell you, like, you know, for paranorm investigating,

613
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.599
for you know, probably a lot
of a lot of the techniques we use,

614
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:09.679
it is pseudoscience. But the problem
is that nobody in the science body

615
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:14.639
is willing to give us other science. So all we're left to do is

616
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:19.840
to take things from other fields and
adapt them to try to provide some form

617
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:22.840
of evidence. It's like, you
know, if you're not going to help

618
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.679
us develop a real science. Then
don't bang on our pseudoscience because it's what

619
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:31.239
we have and we're trying to utilize
other technologies like you know, you know

620
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:36.679
flear. I mean, it's it
was developed to you know, to look

621
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:40.920
for heat and cold and you know, for utilitarian reasons or mechanical reasons or

622
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.400
military reasons. But it wasn't meant
to look for bigfoot. But it can't.

623
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:51.679
You know, that's very very possible
that there are some I've seen some

624
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:57.440
some brilliant captures. Stacy Brown's capture
for when he was with his dad is

625
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:02.920
amazing and the one coming out of
Australia from the Australian nowI Research Group,

626
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:07.400
that was amazing. So I think
it's you know, but it was it's

627
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:13.159
adopted technologies because it's why we have
to work with you know, EMF meters

628
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:19.320
were not meant to detect disembodied presences. They are meant to detect electrical issues.

629
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:23.039
But something's happening with these EMF meeters
when they're you know, they're they're

630
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:29.119
they're triggering off of unknown phenomena.
So we got to use what we have.

631
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.679
And so I know a lot of
people get defensive about the pseudoscience but

632
00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:35.920
it's like, well, yeah,
it is pseudoscience, but it's because we're

633
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.480
utilizing the tools that we have available
to us. And if and if it

634
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:40.440
is, you know, if they
can do it better, they should give

635
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:45.440
us better science. Sometimes wars are
fought by people who were never soldiers.

636
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:51.000
You know, you gotta do what
you gotta do sometimes, and that's kind

637
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:57.199
of the boat that we're all in. Right. Has there been a an

638
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:02.440
episode or a certain guest that really
got to you, like really unnerved you

639
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:07.199
or bothered you? I mean,
there's so many. It's a that's a

640
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:14.400
tough question to feel because everybody,
like you said, everybody's experience is their

641
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:21.800
reality. And so I just have
this this profound level of feeling absolutely honored

642
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:25.320
that people feel compelled to reach out
to me and to share their story because

643
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.840
maybe they want to put it down
finally, maybe they want to help other

644
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.400
people, or for any number of
reasons, but they want to share what

645
00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:37.320
they've seen and experienced. And I
think that anecdotal evidence is so powerful in

646
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:43.639
these fields because we're relying on a
lot of it in order to understand this

647
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:47.280
phenomena we're dealing with, and all
the varied phenomena so um, I mean,

648
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:53.599
I've I'm honored to talk to everybody. I was really really thrilled to

649
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:58.599
have had the opportunity to sit down
with Bob Giblin and talk to him,

650
00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:02.400
the godfather of all of this.
I mean, Bob was just the most

651
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:09.000
profoundly sincere and down to earth person
I've ever met, and I really feel

652
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:13.599
thrilled that we were able to have
a discussion and he was able to share

653
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.079
his experiences, and you know,
I talked to him about, of course

654
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:20.480
about Patty, but also talk to
him about the fact that he was neighbors

655
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:25.559
with Evil Knevil. Yeah, that's
so cool, so can you imagine.

656
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:31.800
So we talked about that a bunch
when he appeared on my show as well.

657
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:37.960
But it's just one of those moments
to have a chance to talk to

658
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:42.400
somebody that's you know, I mean, quite honestly, Bob's older now,

659
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.239
and he's getting older all the time, and it won't be long and he

660
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.599
won't have that voice anymore. So
I'm I felt really honored to have had

661
00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:53.519
an opportunity to have a discussion with
him, even though maybe he repeated a

662
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:57.920
lot of the same things he's already
discussed a million times. Not many people

663
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:02.400
have talked to him about Evil Knevil. Yeah, so that was a really

664
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:07.400
cool one. But I mean,
is there anyone more than others? Not

665
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.440
really. I think everybody that I
talked to, I just again, I

666
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.800
might be being redundant, but I
couldn't be more sincere that everybody's experience is

667
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:21.000
incredible. And I think a lot
of people have this real Hollywood idea of

668
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:22.639
all of this stuff, like,
well, if you don't have books flying

669
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:27.920
around your room, indoors slamming,
then you know it's nothing big. Well,

670
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:31.119
good god, If your cereal bowl
moves eight inches, that's huge.

671
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:35.039
You know, if your facet turns
on and while you're in the shower,

672
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:40.800
that's a big deal folks, especially
when you're naked. But anyway, but

673
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:45.639
it is, it doesn't We don't
need to have Poltergeist level phenomena for it

674
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.760
to be incredible. I mean,
it's little things, you know, like

675
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:54.639
I got you know, I love
the stories that are like there's a long

676
00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:59.519
time ago I covered a story like
this where somebody always put their keys in

677
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:01.480
the same place, always put their
keys in the same place. They had

678
00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:06.280
some activity around their house, but
they were going to leave to go to

679
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:08.199
work. One day, they went
to grab the keys, and I think

680
00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:10.360
it was in a bowl right next
to the door, you know, on

681
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:15.719
like a chest of some sort or
stand. And they reaching the bowl and

682
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.039
the keys are not there, and
so they're like frantic, they're late for

683
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:22.239
work. They're running around, tossing
the whole apartment, looking around, looking

684
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:24.119
around, looking around, and then
that these keys are not to be found.

685
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:29.400
And then about after about fifteen minutes
of frantic searching, looking, they're

686
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:35.079
in the bowl by the by the
by the door. Oh well, that's

687
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:38.000
really weird, but god, I'm
late. I got to get to work.

688
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:42.079
Well, they go to work.
On the way to work, they

689
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:45.599
find out that the path they drove, if they had been on time,

690
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:50.280
they would have been in a fatal
car accident. Wow. Oh, something

691
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:55.199
incredibly profound stepped in. Is that
divine divine intervention? Because it's you know,

692
00:49:55.239 --> 00:50:00.679
it seemed like a nuisance kind of
activity, but it very well might

693
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:04.880
have saved their lives, you know. So it's something little like that can

694
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:08.719
have these profound impacts. So I
want to get back to Bigfoot for a

695
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:16.159
second. Sure you've talked to a
lot of Bigfoot witnesses, you are an

696
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:21.159
active person in the bigfoot world.
You know what's going on and what's happened.

697
00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:24.079
I mean, you've interviewed Bob Gimblin
about Evil Kinevil. How more can

698
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:32.519
you go into the subject. So
you're aware as much as I am that

699
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:38.199
there's many different schools of thought whenever
it comes to bigfoot. Yeah, what

700
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:47.360
is your perspective on the flesh and
blood versus the paranormal bigfoot paradox? You

701
00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:51.599
know, this is a tough one, and it's one honestly, and to

702
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:58.360
be absolutely sincere, I have hard
time with wrapping my head around it.

703
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:01.880
And it's not me saying I don't
believe that's possible that a big foot could

704
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:06.639
just be portaling in or out or
disappearing or you know, doing all these

705
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:12.440
incredible supernatural feats. But it's just
we all have our paradigm, we all

706
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:19.320
have the limits of what we're capable
of thinking around. And it's not me

707
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:22.000
saying no, that's not possible.
I don't believe that. It's just me

708
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:27.800
going I don't understand that. And
maybe maybe that's my own personal hang up

709
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:31.679
because I do tend to be logical
about it. But it's it's just a

710
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:37.960
fantastical idea to me. And if
they are doing that, then what does

711
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:39.880
that mean? How do they do
it? Is it possible we could learn

712
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:43.719
it? Is it, you know? Is it a technology of some kind

713
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:45.760
that we don't understand, or is
it? Is it just that they are

714
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:52.480
these transdimensional beings? Are they from
the stars? Are they just a rella

715
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:57.159
commented that's wandering around? And I
tend you know, here's the thing.

716
00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:04.239
I I do believe that they're flush
and blood because they leave footprints and that

717
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:09.360
requires a mass. They are observed
eating many many people have had sightings watching

718
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:15.480
them eat or seeing them eat things. They physically interact with the world around

719
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:17.840
them, so I mean, they
do have a physical presence. So it's

720
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.239
not I don't think a big leap
of faith to say, hey, look

721
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:28.239
they're felesh and blood. Now do
I disbelieve people's stories? Know, but

722
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:31.360
I don't understand, you know,
I'd say, again, it's my own

723
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:36.760
paradigm. So I talk it up
to I don't know what this thing is.

724
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:38.760
I mean, I know that I
believe that it's flesh and blood.

725
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:43.840
I can answer that, I think
conclusively or pretty much, I mean without

726
00:52:43.880 --> 00:52:47.599
having shook hands with one. But
because we can see evidence of them being

727
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:52.159
physically present, are they always though? I don't know. I mean,

728
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:57.800
that's where I get stuck. And
so, you know, I've interviewed to

729
00:52:57.800 --> 00:52:59.840
people that have seen these things right
in front of their eyes, and I

730
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:04.039
believe them. I really do.
It's just that I don't know how to

731
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:07.880
process that. So that's my own
shortcoming, I think more than anything,

732
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:14.199
because you know, I just have
to have a basic rudimentary understanding of it.

733
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:15.920
Then with all that, it's just
like, well, like, you

734
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:19.800
know, what does that mean?
I don't know. So does that make

735
00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:23.880
sense? No? No, No, I'm on the same page. It's

736
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:29.760
a lot. I've definitely talked to
enough people, you know, I'll go

737
00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:35.760
back to the experience thing. I've
talked to enough people that have experienced paranormal

738
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:38.840
Bigfoot events, supernatural bigfoot events,
whatever you want to call it, right,

739
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:44.679
and I believe them. I believe
that, you know, they experience

740
00:53:44.760 --> 00:53:49.199
what they experience. But it is
certainly something that I'm not able to wrap

741
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:52.079
my head around. Now. Yeah, the one stipulation of that being,

742
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:59.920
I do have a very strong opinion
at this point, which could change tomorrow,

743
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:07.840
that Bigfoot is closer to human than
it is to animal, as we

744
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:12.480
understand the difference between humans and animals. Sure, I believe Bigfoot is a

745
00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:17.800
type of person to a certain extent. I have seen enough evidence of that.

746
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:22.239
Yeah, at least That's where I'm
leaning at this point. So with

747
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:27.519
that being said, I think it
might be possible. And shout out to

748
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:30.679
DJ, who I'm sure we'll listen
to this episode. This is one of

749
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:36.039
his favorite topics, So I'll ask
this on his behalf, the possibility of

750
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:42.119
these paranormal Bigfoot events being explained away
as perhaps they are Bigfoot ghosts. You

751
00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:45.360
know, I've heard that before.
I've heard that suggested before, and and

752
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:49.000
I don't see why not if you
know, I mean, there are reports

753
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:54.840
of ghost pets, often people seeing
spectral animals in the woods. I've got

754
00:54:55.039 --> 00:55:00.119
trail camp pictures that were sent to
me by my own cousin in Tennessee of

755
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:04.119
a spectral dog that he caught,
and and it's you know, it's very

756
00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:08.280
translucent, it's very whispy, but
it's very clearly a keynine. So why

757
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:13.079
couldn't it be possible then that's Bigfoot. When they you know, die away

758
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:16.079
or you know, leave their body, they could linger and that doesn't make

759
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:20.880
sense to me, you know,
I mean it kind of you know,

760
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:23.960
fits the mold, so to speak. Yeah, well, yeah, I

761
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:29.159
mean several of the precedents of that
out there. You're not only human,

762
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:32.519
but other you know, creatures of
this world. So yeah, I think

763
00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:37.960
it's that's a great a great take, a great possibility, or or it

764
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:42.280
could even be some other form of
spiritual mimicry. We cover doppelgangers a lot

765
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.559
on the on the show, well
not a lot, but from time to

766
00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:49.679
time where people see a doppelganger of
either themselves or someone else that's in you

767
00:55:49.719 --> 00:55:52.440
know, in their family or someone
real close to them, and then we'll

768
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.519
see the real person several you know, feet or distance away that they couldn't

769
00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:59.880
possibly have gotten to. Um.
So, I mean, there's there's no

770
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:04.599
seem to be the precedent for spiritual
entities. And I don't think that they

771
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.400
were human necessarily. There's a bunch
of things out there that weren't human that

772
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:12.320
we understand as spiritual. Um in
my opinion, and in you know,

773
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:15.880
several other opinions that I'm aware of. But so is there something that could

774
00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:21.039
be mimicking that? Yeah? Um, remember again, and it's kind of

775
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.840
a silly reference, and I don't
mean to be childish about it. But

776
00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:28.679
remember in the in the Harry Potter
movies when they I don't know if you

777
00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:36.000
watch them, I'm familiar with.
Right, So they got the ball guards.

778
00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:38.639
That's in that cabinet and then they
open it and for each person that

779
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:42.639
assumes a different form. Yeah,
well, I think you know. I

780
00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:46.480
mean, there are there are beliefs
and legends from you know, a lot

781
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:51.159
of cultures around the world of their
being spiritual beings that do just that.

782
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:54.880
So there was there was a historical
precedent, or at least legendary or folklorish

783
00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:00.559
precedent for the ball guards. Um
so is that that's possibly something like that?

784
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:06.840
And it could be that's interesting for
sure. I hadn't even thought about

785
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:12.440
that angle, right, Yeah,
just tell my head work. Are you

786
00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:17.320
following the UAP disclosure stuff? You
know, I just got done traveling when

787
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:21.199
all of this was going on.
I just got home yesterday and I've been

788
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:24.360
hitting the ground running. But I
fully intent on sitting down and watching a

789
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:29.880
bit of it, maybe even later
tonight, but at least in the very

790
00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:34.360
near future before my YouTube show on
Wednesday, because I'd like to have a

791
00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:37.800
knowledge of it. It's kind of
a hot topic now. Yeah, so

792
00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:45.519
let's just pretend, let's fast forward
that it comes out full disclosure. The

793
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:50.199
government's like, yep, they're real, you know here they are blah blah

794
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:55.159
blah. What do you think happens? Then? You know, as far

795
00:57:55.199 --> 00:58:00.199
as for me personally, nothing I've
I've seen UFOs. I saw a very

796
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:06.920
clear present UFO that was not real
far from me a few years back,

797
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:09.719
about eight years back, no,
probably about ten years back now. But

798
00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:14.840
for the world at large, I
don't think it's going to have their shattering

799
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:17.719
consequences that everybody thinks, because I
think more people are open to the idea

800
00:58:17.760 --> 00:58:22.119
than that. I mean, even
when the Navy released or well whether they

801
00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:24.960
were kind of forced to release it
because I think it leaked first, but

802
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:30.079
all those tic tac craft, those
things leaked. There wasn't panics or riots

803
00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:31.800
or anything. There were people like
huh about that. You know, it

804
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:36.679
was like Tuesday. Yeah, it
wasn't the end of the world day.

805
00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:37.559
It was just like a Tuesday or
something, you know. I mean,

806
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:42.320
people, people are I think way
more open than they're giving credit for.

807
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:45.239
And I think people can handle a
lot more than they're giving credit for.

808
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:50.079
I think that, you know,
put the truth out there. You know,

809
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:53.400
my god, how long ago was
it that bigfoot was a whispered topic,

810
00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:59.920
barely discussed, And now everywhere there's
conferences and people out there. Look

811
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:05.000
and you know, I mean,
we handle things just fine. So but

812
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:07.920
yeah, I've seen him. I'm
already I was already in nohere. If

813
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:12.760
it happens with Bigfoot sometime in the
future where we have bigfoot disclosure, do

814
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.880
you think that changes anything? Do
you think people quit going on into the

815
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:19.280
woods. Do you think people go
out in the woods trying to shoot one?

816
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:22.199
Do you think it would have an
impact? It'll be the end of

817
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:27.159
that species, in my opinion,
it will be the end of whatever remains

818
00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:32.639
of them, because it will become
the next big craze. Well, they

819
00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:36.000
saw a big foot there, and
now they're out there, let's get in

820
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:38.280
the truck and go. And so
you're gonna have this influx of people suddenly

821
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:43.400
going into the forest in places they've
never gone. And I don't know how

822
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:51.119
much territory they need, but I
know that they've been progressively encroached upon for

823
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:57.920
hundreds of years and I don't think
that's there's many options left to them.

824
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.639
I mean, there's there's still big
stands of wild areas in our in our

825
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:06.320
nation and in the nations between US
and Canada and stuff, and probably around

826
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:09.440
the world. But the point is
is that I think it's we have a

827
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:14.719
tendency to destroy what we love.
And you know, somehow they will murder

828
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:19.639
a black market where a bigfoot testicle
will cure cancer or something, and you

829
01:00:19.679 --> 01:00:22.559
know there'll be that. Then there
will be those that want to put them

830
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:24.519
in zoos, and my god,
I don't think I could think of a

831
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:29.800
more tragic site than that. But
whatever these guys are, it's kind of

832
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:34.039
like the Jurassic Park line. They've
chosen our absence, and I think we

833
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:37.320
should we should honor that. But
you know that if it becomes proved and

834
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:42.840
it's a foregone conclusion, that people
will head out into the wild places and

835
01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:47.079
they'll be harassing the hell out of
them, and probably they're they're probably in

836
01:00:47.119 --> 01:00:52.719
a pretty fragile state anyway, just
because of the encroachment and the expansion of

837
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:58.519
our civilizations, and I think it
may very well push push them over the

838
01:00:58.599 --> 01:01:01.920
edge, and they'll become a memory. Yeah. I think that's probably my

839
01:01:01.960 --> 01:01:07.360
biggest problem with disclosure of these type
subjects in general, whether it be you

840
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:15.239
know, UFO, slash UAPs or
Bigfoot at some point, not necessarily the

841
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:19.159
acknowledgement that those things are real,
because like you said, there's plenty of

842
01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:23.239
us out there that know they're real
already, but the human factor of you

843
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:29.199
know, the the chaos that will
ensue from people disagreeing and trying to figure

844
01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:31.280
out what to do about it.
You know, well, how does that

845
01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:35.559
affect us? What should we do? And uh, you know, I

846
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:40.400
do see like political divisions being drawn. You know, your different camps.

847
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:44.559
Put them in a zoo or an
animal, shoot them, eradicate them.

848
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.039
You know, it's it's not safe
to go out into the woods anymore.

849
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:52.119
And then you've got your people who
will want to protect them, which you

850
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:55.000
know, that's been one of my
hang ups for a long time actually,

851
01:01:55.079 --> 01:02:01.119
is certain individuals claiming to have these
intimate relationships and knowledge of these creatures.

852
01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:09.360
And you know, the people who
claim to have you know, habituation happening

853
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:15.519
at their homes and this intimate knowledge
and wisdom about these creatures and they talk

854
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:20.880
to them and everything else and I'm
just like, if you really had their

855
01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:23.559
best interest at heart, you wouldn't
even tell anybody that you knew anything about

856
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:27.760
them. Why are you coming on
the internet and telling people all this stuff

857
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:31.320
if you like, I wouldn't tell
anybody. I don't even know what bigfoot

858
01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:36.440
is. That's ridiculous. No,
they don't exist. Yeah, No,

859
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:38.639
I'm with you, because bringing more
attention to it is not going to be

860
01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:43.239
helpful to them in any manner.
I mean, you know, there's the

861
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:45.480
there's the double edged sort of it. Do people have a right to know

862
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:51.679
they're out there? Sure? I
guess maybe there's that, But I think

863
01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:54.599
that if anything, all the all
of the reports that we've got, and

864
01:02:54.719 --> 01:03:00.280
you know, you've gotten more,
probably you've been exposed to more than more

865
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:04.440
than most. And generally their reports
are real peaceful. They're just like,

866
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:07.199
oh there's a personal here, I'm
I'm moving out of here, you know.

867
01:03:07.239 --> 01:03:09.920
I mean, they just they just
leave, They just avoid unless you

868
01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:15.000
know, of course, there's the
stories of people being harassed in a campsite,

869
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:19.800
but there again, this is this
is their homes. We're moving our

870
01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:22.960
little tents and little tent communities out, maybe into their living room, maybe

871
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:28.400
it's you know, right by the
perfect view, by the little stream next

872
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:30.079
to the you know, the forested
area. Well that might be where they

873
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:35.320
you know, get their fish or
whatever. You know. These are perhaps

874
01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:39.360
habits and traits that have been handed
down over thousands of years, you know,

875
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:43.920
and then incomes the you know,
the campers and stuff. So yeah,

876
01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:49.519
they might get harassed a little bit, but generally speaking, most most

877
01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:53.559
of these encounters are very peaceful.
And these beings are so strong and so

878
01:03:53.639 --> 01:04:00.480
capable that they if they were malicious, you'd be dead before you even knew

879
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:03.119
who they were there, you know, they are so capable. Yeah,

880
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:09.840
if that was a big foot you
heard that day when you were fourteen years

881
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:14.440
old, if it wanted you,
I mean you guys, wouldn't have made

882
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:16.760
it out of the woods. You
wouldn't would do it. Yeah, I

883
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:19.400
wouldn't even have heard of growl.
It would have just been you know,

884
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:23.880
lights out. Yeah, I mean, because somehow it got all the way

885
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:27.960
behind me, you know, and
if fairly not not completely open, it

886
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.599
was still a forested area, but
it wasn't like you know, tough,

887
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:33.119
tight knit you know, groupings of
trees and bushes. It was you know,

888
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:36.400
like a nice mature for us canopy, you know where you got room,

889
01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:41.039
But somehow it ended up right behind
us and way bigger than us,

890
01:04:41.599 --> 01:04:44.800
And I didn't hear a sound until
that growl kicked in. It was like,

891
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:47.519
oh god, you know so,
I mean it was There's no question

892
01:04:47.920 --> 01:04:50.840
if they wanted people dead, there'd
be a whole lot more missing. For

893
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:56.280
one one going on, I've got
one more thing I wanted to ask you

894
01:04:56.360 --> 01:05:00.239
while I had you on here.
Sure, did you do a recent spirit

895
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:05.320
box session in your studio? I
did. I've been doing that every well,

896
01:05:05.480 --> 01:05:09.760
last several Saturday nights that I've done
live shows, I've been doing it

897
01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:14.079
right here in the studio. Have
you gotten anything? Yeah, dude,

898
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:18.199
one of the first times that I
set up the It's based on the Huff

899
01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:23.280
portal, but which would take a
big explanation to kind of get into it.

900
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:28.440
But it's basically instrumental transcommunication, which
is the idea that we use objects,

901
01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:32.480
mechanical objects to hopefully interact with spirits, and this one is supposedly they

902
01:05:32.480 --> 01:05:38.800
are able to supposedly manipulate the sound
in order to make words. So I

903
01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:41.320
literally said, okay, guys,
we're going to get to the live investigation

904
01:05:41.320 --> 01:05:44.920
though, and I turned on the
device and I said, I said,

905
01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:47.639
all right, is there any spirits
I want to communicate with us? And

906
01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:53.400
right away a voice came through and
said, yeah, I do. Wow,

907
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:59.000
just now, this was using a
sound database of fractions of words like

908
01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:02.519
they're justllibles. Yeah, but it
was like, I do the same voice

909
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:05.559
through the whole thing, which I
mean. I talked to the guy that

910
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:09.239
gave me the set up and he
said, that's not that's not possible.

911
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:12.440
That's definitely paranormal. They can't do
that. I was like, yeah,

912
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:15.039
I thought that was really weird too, And then I set up a flashlight

913
01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:18.800
test. It's where you have these
twist off twist on little mag lights and

914
01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:25.360
stuff, and basically a position it
so it's just a hair off but almost

915
01:06:25.400 --> 01:06:28.840
on, and then you set it
down. Now, those can be really

916
01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:31.519
interesting, but you know, there's
some cautionary parts of it too, and

917
01:06:32.079 --> 01:06:36.800
one of them is that look,
atmospherically, things can change and make it

918
01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:42.400
go on and off. But right
if you can tie the correlation of events

919
01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:47.159
to questions or interactions with that you've
requested, then it becomes a little more

920
01:06:47.199 --> 01:06:53.000
mathematically difficult to disprove because you know, I was consistently getting well, you

921
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.280
know, the light coming on for
yes, and you know, then asking

922
01:06:56.320 --> 01:06:59.440
them to shut it off and boom
they would shut it off, and it

923
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:02.519
was really really really cool. Then
I got these these stupid little cat balls

924
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:06.000
off of Amazon, and there are
little cat toys that when that cat like

925
01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:10.920
moves it, it will flash these
little led lights. But they it turns

926
01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:14.519
out people are using them for investigating
and and I've had some great you know

927
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:16.559
indicators off of that. Now,
can I prove there's ghosts here? No,

928
01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:23.400
But having several different modalities out and
several of them being triggered, I

929
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:30.000
think to me is reinforces the possibility
that there is something here that was communicating

930
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:31.920
with me. So yeah, true
story. Wow man, I'm gonna have

931
01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:35.519
to check that out. Where can
people find you? Now? Where do

932
01:07:35.519 --> 01:07:40.400
you want to send them? Everywhere? YouTube? iTunes? What do you

933
01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:45.440
got for me? All right?
So the podcast is the biggest platform by

934
01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:47.679
far for the paranormal portal. I'm
working on the YouTube, but I have

935
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:50.800
been for longer than the podcast,
but some reason, YouTube is a tough

936
01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:56.280
egg to crack. But the podcast
is available everywhere cast Box, Stitcher,

937
01:07:56.360 --> 01:08:00.679
iTunes, Pandora, Google Play,
iHeartRadio, any any of those platforms.

938
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:04.920
Spotify of course is a big one, so you can look for Paranormal Portal

939
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:09.599
out there. We're in our fifth
season now, and I don't like a

940
01:08:09.679 --> 01:08:12.039
lot of shows out there. I'm
just gonna, you know, flex a

941
01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:15.920
little bit here. Flex away,
man, flex away, all right.

942
01:08:15.319 --> 01:08:19.119
When I do a season the shows, it's fifty two or better episodes.

943
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:26.279
So I'm on my fifth season of
shows now, just finished episode five and

944
01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:31.159
of season five that's posted now.
But you can find all those out or

945
01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:38.399
you can go over to YouTube YouTube
dot com slash Paranormal Portal and you'll end

946
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:42.640
up on our YouTube page and there's
over I think there's about one thousand,

947
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:45.840
two hundred YouTube videos over there.
Now. Wow. Yeah, I know

948
01:08:46.239 --> 01:08:49.920
I was doing I was literally doing
ten shows a week for a number of

949
01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:55.239
years. So he's putting in work, man, dude, I'm telling you.

950
01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:59.119
I was doing three podcasts a week
and seven live shows a week on

951
01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:03.000
YouTube, So I was working hard. But you know, it's it's gotten

952
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:06.479
me some recognition, so it was
worth the effort. But it did take

953
01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:11.520
a lot of investment. And you
