I hope you 9 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.119 enjoyed last week's episode where we talked about the initial 10 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.640 encounter of my family to include the Cape Fear River 11 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.359 incident or sometimes known back in the day is the 12 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:05.120 Fabville incident. We talked about some of the out out 13 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:10.840 what's the word backlash, Yeah, the backlash that was experienced 14 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.359 by my family, the documentary that just really caused a 15 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.159 lot of trouble in our lives, and I wanted to 16 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.400 sort of pick up from there and go forward and 17 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.560 talk about some of the things that followed that. Right. So, 18 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.519 so in two thousand and eight, when this documentary comes out, right, 19 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.959 I'm like fifteen years old, I'm in the tenth grade, 20 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.920 and I remember vividly what that was like going to 21 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.640 school the next day. The night that it came out, 22 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.040 we had a party at my aunt Julie's house and 23 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.359 it was really sweet. It was it was really like 24 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.640 a supportive thing. My Aunt Tammy was there, all their kids, 25 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.120 the whole family. We all gathered and it was a 26 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.280 really kind thing of them to say, Oh, our brother's 27 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:56.640 gonna go on TV. Let's all have a party and 28 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.480 watch it, you know what I mean. And I will 29 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.640 say admittedly that in the very beginning, when we were 30 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.159 being told, you know, we're crazy and dealing with the 31 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.200 devil and all this stuff, my dad's sisters have always 32 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.039 been pretty supportive, and I just wanted to acknowledge that 33 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.919 they've I've never heard a single word from either of 34 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.840 them that was like negative or critical, and actually it's 35 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.639 quite the opposite, and they're very much supportive. So you know, 36 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.400 I'm very thankful about that. So when our documentary started 37 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.360 to come out, basically, my aunt Tammy was like made 38 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.400 these shirts that were really goofy. I have one in 39 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.719 my closet. I've showed it on a previous episode, but 40 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.240 it was these shirts that were like lime green, and 41 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.759 they said, you know, the Fayetville Incident because that was 42 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.080 the name of the episode on the Discovery Channel, and 43 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.719 she got us these little alien hats. I probably have 44 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.960 someone one in there somewhere, and just a bunch of 45 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.280 other little party favors, like little alien things, and it's 46 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.360 a joke, you know, like we never said it's aliens 47 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:50.840 or anything, but it was just like kind of on 48 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.280 the nose, you know. We all got together to watch 49 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.400 this documentary and the room through the viewing of the 50 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.479 documentary was like you could cut the tension with a 51 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.479 knife because of how bad it made us look. And 52 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:08.439 we were all so shocked and so disappointed, and yeah, 53 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.439 I just remember it being so disappointing and you could 54 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.759 just tell that they were not happy with it, everybody 55 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.800 in the room, you know, And it was just a 56 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.680 very surreal experience, right Like you're like, who you remember 57 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.759 do you remember in the Joker movie when he like 58 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.039 fantasizes about seeing the character on the TV that he 59 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.639 really likes and then he meets him in real life 60 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.560 and it was obviously it's a rated our psycho thriller 61 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.120 action movie, so he kills him. Obviously it's a fantastic version, 62 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:38.879 but it was kind of like that where you were like, 63 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:40.479 we're gonna be on the Discovery Channel. We're gonna be 64 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.719 on the Discovery Channel. And then it comes out and 65 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.759 it was just like this major letdown, this major disappointment. 66 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.240 You know, It's just it's ironic, right. So I just 67 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.400 remember going to school the next day, but I was 68 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.120 still proud of my father and my brother, so I 69 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.919 wanted to show support, right, And I surely didn't think 70 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.840 anybody in the world that I knew would have seen it. 71 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:00.919 I didn't know it was going to be in the 72 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.560 newspaper the next day, and I put on that lime 73 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.879 green shirt under I had like a kind of like 74 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.319 a car heart style jacket, you know, I think it 75 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.400 actually was a car heart, And so I had that 76 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.879 jacket like over the green shirt and just was thinking 77 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.000 it was incognito, you know what I mean. And then 78 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.199 I get the school first period and my teacher is like, 79 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.279 saw it, she saw it the night before, and she 80 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.199 basically invited and I took my coat off and put 81 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.920 it on my you know, cause I'm hot in class, right, 82 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.199 So long story short, she actually saw it the night 83 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.240 before and invited me to the front of class to 84 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.319 like talk about it to a classroom of thirty students, 85 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.399 and I had, you know, this dorky green shirt on, 86 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.240 and I was like, oh man, you know in that moment, 87 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.920 really I was like so regretting wearing that to school 88 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:58.319 the next day. And I remember feeling humiliated talking about it, 89 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:04.079 and just you know, it was so humiliating, like having 90 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.120 to go in front of class and tell other teenage kids. 91 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:08.759 You know, some of them laugh, some of them whoa, 92 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.319 you know. And it was just a kind of a 93 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.680 shocking experience. And then I go to second period. Nothing happens, 94 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.399 pretty normal. Then I go to third period. It's art. 95 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.120 I'm a terrible artist, but for some reason, I took 96 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.439 it for three years. I had friends that I would 97 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.000 take it with and I would just talk the whole time. 98 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.279 But yeah, my art teacher and she's a lovely human being, 99 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.639 and it was nothing but just the most positive vibe. 100 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.360 But she asked me to stay after class, and I 101 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.199 was like, oh uh oh, I thinking I'm in trouble. 102 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.720 And then I stay after class and she basically breaks 103 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:49.199 out a newspaper that she had of our show being on, 104 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.399 you know, the Fabulle incident, and I just remember, I'll 105 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:57.680 never forget. She basically told me how brave my family 106 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.560 was for going out and telling her story because when 107 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.600 she was a little girl, she was with her aunt 108 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.079 outside somewhere in the woods or something like that. They 109 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.519 were just away from other people and they saw something 110 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.959 in the sky that was not right. It was you know, 111 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.199 divine UFO or something like that. And I'm talking like 112 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.680 forty or fifty years before that. She was, you know, 113 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.160 an older lady like you know what I mean. So 114 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.920 she was talking about when she was a little girl, 115 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.399 and she just commended us and was like, I support 116 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.199 you guys. I'm so proud of you forgetting your story 117 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.360 out there. And I was like, oh, well that was 118 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.600 really that was really positive. Go home, tell my mom 119 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.439 and dad, you know. But throughout time for the rest 120 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.040 of my high school career, kids would come up to 121 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:49.000 me and they would mock, they would laugh, they would 122 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.839 just make comments to me about UFOs and my aliens 123 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.560 and of course my other siblings too, And some of 124 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:57.879 them would come up to me with cell phone videos 125 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:04.279 of orbs, you know, genuinely and show them to me 126 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.519 and be like, what do you think about this? Is 127 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.759 this real? Is this like what your daddy saw. I 128 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.240 don't know, man, probably you know, I'm not an expert, 129 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.680 but because had you seen anything at that point? Absolutely, 130 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.079 oh you're okay, yeah, all right, yeah, absolutely. I started 131 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.560 like the first week my dad comes home. I'm thirteen, right, 132 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.399 and there's a lot of growth from thirteen to fifteen. 133 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:32.160 You're talking like a middle school you know, barely pubescing kid, 134 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.959 to like a teenager in high school. There was a 135 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.079 lot of maturity difference between the time that it actually 136 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.319 began and then you know, I'm in school. It's still 137 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.639 not mature, but it's a spectrum, right, So back then 138 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.279 it was a big difference in how the kids reacted, 139 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.360 how I felt, and how I handled it, you know 140 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.800 what I mean. When I was thirteen, I was so 141 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.879 traumatized by this stuff that I had to see a 142 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.639 guidance counselor from all of the fighting at home and 143 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.040 you know, all of the strife and people saying my 144 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.160 family was crazy. It was so traumatizing that I go 145 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.839 to school and I would just not speak for days, 146 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.360 and I guess they put me in like a guidance 147 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.439 councilor thing. I'm just saying. I was so young, it 148 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.720 was so traumatizing, Like little children don't know how to 149 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.839 handle this stuff that well, so they shut down. By 150 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.319 the time I'm in high school, you know, it's a 151 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.000 little different, but it still sucked. Right at that point, 152 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:25.560 It's just like bullying. But yeah, dude, kids would come 153 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:26.759 up to me and they'd be like, you know, I 154 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.079 believe you guys, I believe you guys. Or kids would 155 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.199 talk about us. That was the most. They wouldn't just 156 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.759 come up to us, but we would hear it through 157 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.960 the grapevine, Like, oh, I was in class the other 158 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.600 day and they made a comment about the crazy Bloods, 159 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:38.879 so you know what I mean. Or like my wife, 160 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.000 she's in my sister's grade, just moved there from Florida, 161 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.720 and you know, she's at lunch one day, hasn't even 162 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.480 met my sister, and all these kids are telling telling 163 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.440 my wife that, you know, the Bloodsoys are this crazy 164 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.759 alien family. And we were on TV. It was like that, 165 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.360 like everybody knew about it, and they wouldn't always say 166 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.279 something to us, but we would always hear about it. 167 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.519 We would catch it. We would go home, and our 168 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.919 ants and all and our family and everybody we knew 169 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.320 would be like, you know, don't talk about that. You're crazy. 170 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.639 You know, you're dealing with the devil. It's evil. I 171 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.360 don't want to hear about it. Jesus didn't die on 172 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.120 their planets, it's not real, all that kind of stuff. 173 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.840 We would hear that, and it went on for five years. 174 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.279 I'm in college at this point. My brother Jeremy's in 175 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.679 college here in Wilmington. Chris Junior has moved out. He's 176 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.240 in his twenties. You know, by the time I'm in college, 177 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.080 he's doing his own thing. Emily's in high school. We're 178 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.120 all in completely different phases in life. Whereas when it 179 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.799 all started, all four of us kids were in school, 180 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.559 we were all at the house. It was just different 181 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.600 as over those five years, you know, Jeremy moves out, 182 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.120 Junior moves out, I'm staying across town in college. So 183 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.840 like we weren't, we weren't all around each other. It 184 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:52.279 was just a different family environment. And in twenty twelve, 185 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:59.639 we had another encounter that sort of took what was 186 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.679 happening to us to the next level. So before I 187 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.559 go into this, I want to talk about a little 188 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:10.639 bit more of the landscape of supernatural experiences we were 189 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.759 having before this moment in twenty twelve. So from two 190 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.519 thousand and seven to twenty twelve, I'm talking, I'm thirteen 191 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.320 years old, all the way up to eighteen, right, five 192 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.679 years of darkness. My father always called that the five 193 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:28.000 years of darkness because it was so horrible how we 194 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.919 were treated that. It was like a really dark period 195 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.399 for our family. We weren't really getting any help from anybody, 196 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.480 we weren't really receiving any answers. It was very scary, 197 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.720 and we weren't fully aware of what was happening to us, 198 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:45.360 and it was just continually happening. I talked earlier about 199 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.879 when my dad was, you know, in the orb and 200 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.840 the what the beings told him, he had the hypnotic regression, 201 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.639 his memories came back, and then you know, going forward, 202 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.200 all of his experiences have been conscious. Sure, he has 203 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.600 had profound dreams, he has out of body experiences and 204 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:06.120 all those those kinds of different supernatural esp type abilities, 205 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:10.639 but for real like when he would experience entities and 206 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.399 orbs and things pertaining to that, it's not like it 207 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.919 had to be hypnotic regressed ever again, but he experiences 208 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.639 them consciously in real time, right, and actually more things 209 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.960 began to happen in our house when his memories were 210 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.279 unlocked after that first year, and his connection to the 211 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.679 you could say, the other world, the invisible world, the 212 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:36.440 Sparau world, whatever, it was profoundly increased after that hypnotic regression, 213 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.279 and he had more of an understanding about what we 214 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.639 were dealing with, because it was like a year and 215 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.559 a half where you have to understand his perspective. He 216 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.000 sees these beings, They give him a few messages. You know, 217 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.000 we're here to help you. They talk about like, don't 218 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.159 harm life. It's all sacred, all that stuff I talked 219 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.200 about in the previous episode, right, And then that was 220 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.879 that he wasn't getting messages. We were just seeing things. 221 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.879 We were seeing in the sky ninety nine percent of it, 222 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.200 I mean, January two thousand and seven. The original encounter 223 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.960 happens within a week. Our entire family is like seeing 224 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.080 orbs in the sky. Was to be sure, it was 225 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.759 at least within a month. It was very quickly after 226 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.440 that original night. It's like it happens and then boom, 227 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:19.519 right away we're seeing stuff and it never stopped. And 228 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.240 the frequency began to increase, right We begin to see 229 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.120 things in the house. We begin to see shadowy beings 230 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.039 run and dive through the wall. My mom and my 231 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.879 brother are looking out the window at the same time. 232 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.840 I'm sitting on a sofa next to my dad and like, 233 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.240 if you see behind me this picture of the lady, 234 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.519 imagine that's like a window behind me, so I can't 235 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.799 see it. It's right behind my head, and it's right 236 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:47.399 behind my dad's head. And my mom and Jeremy like 237 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.759 have face to face contact with an entity through the window. 238 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.799 Things like that. That was all in the first year. 239 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.039 Something gently shoved her in the kitchen because my dad 240 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.320 was praying she would have experiences. Emily would see an 241 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.240 entity in her room. Things like that. They weren't talking 242 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.080 to us, they weren't communicating to us, So we were 243 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.519 very frightened. We were very scared. What's happening. We don't 244 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.120 really know what we're dealing with here. But Dad always 245 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.559 maintained and he reported that it was angelic. So as 246 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:23.360 a family we were like, Okay, this is positive. It's angelic. 247 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.960 It's here to help us. But you know, what's happening. 248 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.039 Nobody wants to talk about it. We're not allowed to 249 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.960 bring it up. We need to help figuring this out 250 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.600 and dealing with this. All kinds of things happened. My 251 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.039 mom was seeing entities with the red eyes in the backyard. 252 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.639 We have this funny story that we kind of pass 253 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.759 around in our family over the last eighteen years where 254 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.159 my mom was outside one night mowing the grass on 255 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.440 a riding mower with a headlight. And my mom would 256 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.039 always prefer to like mow grass if it was her turn, 257 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.879 she would do it at night because it's cooler in 258 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:55.559 the evening, you know. So she's like, I don't want 259 00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:57.960 to do it the heat. So she's mowing grass. One night, 260 00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.480 my dad walks out of the back door. He checks 261 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.799 on her, just see how it's going. He goes back, 262 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.480 gets like a cup of coffee or something like that, 263 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.039 and then he turns around and he's looking out the 264 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.879 back door again and the lawn mowers driving in the backyard. 265 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.559 Because my dad, he's a mechanic, he's always ripping machines 266 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.000 apart and replacing them. And he had disabled the thing 267 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.799 when you get off the seat that it does a 268 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.519 kill switch, you know what I mean. So my mom, 269 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.000 my mom was mowing the grass at night, and she 270 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.679 literally for just a few feet away, one of those 271 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.559 little beings was standing there and it had the red eyes, 272 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.000 and she made eye contact with it. She hopped off 273 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.399 the lawnmower and sprinted to the house. The thing just 274 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.879 is driving on its own and everything, and it was 275 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.919 obviously scary in the moment, but my dad always laughs 276 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.799 about that story. It was just an incredible sight. One minute, 277 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.480 he looks she's mowing the grass. He walks away. He 278 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.399 looks back and the lawn mower's driving itself, and she's 279 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.639 sprinting to the house and she's like, I saw one. 280 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.320 I saw one. She actually tripped and fell down. She 281 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.480 was so freaked out, you know. And it was stuff 282 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.320 like that was happening in the first five years. We're 283 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.840 seeing into he's face to face. We're having these encounters. 284 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:06.320 Stuff's getting knocked over in the night. You know. You 285 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.399 could describe it as like poltergeist activity. I don't mean 286 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.320 in a negative connotation. I just mean, you know, stuff 287 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.840 falls off the shelf, light bulbs get unscrewed. There's one 288 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:22.480 time we're having dinner and we had like three dogs 289 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.200 at the time. We had three dogs, and my mom 290 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.519 is kind of like very OCD like when we would 291 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.200 eat dinner. It's like, put the dogs outside. We live 292 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.639 out in the country, so just like put them outside. 293 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.840 They were inside and outside dogs, right, So she's like, 294 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.480 put the dogs outside. I don't want them up under 295 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.360 me while I'm eating. So it's like, Okay, one of 296 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.639 us takes the dog out, shuts the back door, right, 297 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:42.960 go sit down. We're eating for a few minutes. The 298 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:44.840 dog walks right back up to the table and it's like, 299 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.279 what the heck, take the dog out again, shut the door. 300 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.679 That was weird, Go sit down. A few minutes go by, 301 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.080 dog comes back to the table and we're like, how 302 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:01.039 is this happening. We had this back porch light that 303 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:03.759 you see them a lot on houses where it's like 304 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.919 there's a light bulb inside of a glass like fixture 305 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.799 that looks like a lantern or a street post, you 306 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.879 know what I'm talking about. And you have to like 307 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.200 kind of unscrew the thing to like actually put the 308 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:16.879 light bulb in and screwed in. We had to take 309 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.840 the dog out again, like the final time, after it 310 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.000 had come inside three times somehow, and the light bulb 311 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.360 was unscrewed in that glass fixture. Well, we had had 312 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.360 the back patio light on and we go out there. 313 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.759 We're all the way on the other side of the 314 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:34.559 house in the kitchen eating dinner, you know, while that 315 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.639 was going on, and like the light bulb was unscrewed. 316 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.919 So we're like, whoa, how that can't happen. So stuff 317 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.320 like that continue to happen over five years, really weird things, 318 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:51.000 really bizarre supernatural interference and entities and orbs, you know, 319 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.120 all the time. I remember being like fourteen thirteen something 320 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.240 like that, and I would see them one night and 321 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.480 then you know, I would go out every night with dad. 322 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.519 He was so desperate for us to keep seeing and 323 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.720 for him to keep seeing. You know, he's still liked that. 324 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.759 Every time we SkyWatch, he's still liked that. He's still 325 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.119 out there every night. It never went away, right, It's 326 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:17.880 this obsession to continue. It's like a inculcation, you know, 327 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.359 it's like this need to continue to see the phenomenon. 328 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.720 But I remember as a child there was like a 329 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.119 two month period where I didn't see an orb, and 330 00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.480 I remember being scared I would never see one again. 331 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:38.240 That is just an example of the frequency of supernatural 332 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.559 experiences that we had that continued to happen. The sheer 333 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.799 volume of things that we were experiencing on the regular, 334 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:52.279 seeing orbs in the sky, all that. So meanwhile, when 335 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.880 we went to the Cape for River, when my dad 336 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.880 and my brother they saw all that stuff, that came home. 337 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.720 All the events of that night happened. The entities they 338 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.960 telepathically communicate with him. My dad's taken for four hours. 339 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.799 He finally has those memories and covered a year and 340 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.720 a half later, the experiences continue to increase in intensity. 341 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:17.599 Everyone's shaming us, criticizing us, mocking us, revialing us. I 342 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.359 was in the room when a pastor was trying to 343 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.240 exercise the devil out of my father with holy oil. 344 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.319 And Protestant Christianity, you don't use holy water, you use oil. 345 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.799 But it's the same thing, right, you pray over it, 346 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:33.559 you pray over it, and it's just anointing oil. He 347 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.000 was like, you know, putting it on my dad, you know, 348 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.200 trying to be praying at him, and my dad's like 349 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.440 obviously very upset. It was just stuff like that was 350 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:49.759 happening around two thousand and nine. I'm still in the 351 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.240 tenth grade at this point, but it's like, actually I 352 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:54.680 might have been in the I think It was the 353 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.319 summer between tenth and the eleventh grade, if I remember correctly. 354 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.720 I remember being home from school. I was in my 355 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.599 jamas and I was playing Fallout three during the day, 356 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.160 and I just remember it was like I wasn't in 357 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.640 school for a while. I'm almost positive it was during summer. 358 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.680 It doesn't really matter. It's a long time ago. But 359 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.640 there was a ring at the door. I go and 360 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.880 I open the door and it's this really tall guy 361 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:23.640 with white hair who tells me he was from NASA. 362 00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:27.079 And he has this lanyard on his neck with like 363 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:31.960 this like a lapel thing, like like a little laminate 364 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.279 sleeve so that you could print like a name tag 365 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.839 and credentials. It's it's like, you know they wear them 366 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.119 at TSA they you know what I'm saying. Like it 367 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.960 it's like so you can pass through facilities, like you 368 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:46.599 can be identified. It wasn't just a name tag. I 369 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.200 had all kinds of shit on it, like press Corps 370 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.559 with NASA and all this stuff. Right, So I was like, oh, wow, 371 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.680 this is serious, and he's like I drove twelve hours 372 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:58.359 from Cape Canaveral. I was looking for the bledsow House. 373 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:00.279 I was hoping to speak with Chris Bledsoe. Is this 374 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.240 his house? I was like, yes, sir, it is. You know. 375 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.680 I go and I get my mom. You know, Mom, 376 00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.839 somebody from NASA's here. She's like, oh, man, call your dad. 377 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.519 And Dad gets there within the hour or so. And 378 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:17.359 then for the rest of his life, Hal's life from 379 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.759 two thousand and nine to twenty nineteen, when he unfortunately 380 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:22.799 passed away, he stayed in our life. And that was 381 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:28.400 our first overt interaction with someone from the government. I 382 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.960 had already explained that when the documentary was being made 383 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.599 there were covert people and intelligence agencies. We didn't know 384 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.839 that that was told to us by these intelligence agencies 385 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.839 many years later. Right, they didn't come and they're like, 386 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:43.920 I'm with the sixer. They're like, no, we're we move 387 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.119 on where you know, they're doing a Discovery Channel thing. 388 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.039 And they were pumping us up like they were going 389 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.000 to make us heroes who would be vindicated before the 390 00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:54.279 world and made to look like, you know, we're helping 391 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:56.039 bring truth through the world. And then they spun it 392 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.039 and they they framed us as liars. Right, We later 393 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:01.240 found out they were CIA. So two thousand and nine, 394 00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:03.680 how comes this was our first time that someone overtly 395 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.119 came and they're like, hey, I'm from the US government. 396 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.079 We're we're here to talk to you. And he was 397 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.079 really nice. He didn't have any threats or anything where 398 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.319 like that, but he was trying to debunk us and 399 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.920 that was covert. So he would like buddy us up 400 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:23.759 and his his his role, which he actually details in 401 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:29.640
