<v Speaker 3>All right? How's going to your Cliff?

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 4>Things are pretty good, man. It's been an eventful week

10
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 4>in general. I've got some phone calls. I've got an

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 4>exciting report on Monday that was kind of cool. Somebody

12
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 4>saw one on a highway twenty six, right up past

13
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 4>rhododendron at five o'clock in the morning on his way

14
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 4>to work. So I went out and looked around a

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 4>little bit, cast something. Not so sure it's a print,

16
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 4>might be erosion, but you know me, I cast everything

17
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 4>and figured try to figure it out later, I guess,

18
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 4>you know. But yeah, it's been a great week.

19
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Cool, Yeah, I mean this is prime time. This is

20
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>one of the most reports of the year coming right now.

21
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Sure seems like it, doesn't it. October seems to be

22
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 4>the month.

23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely October when it comes to squatching.

24
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.359
<v Speaker 4>Right, Squatch tober. Yeah, so, Bobo, who do you have

25
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 4>for us today? Actually I know, but I just want

26
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 4>to be coy.

27
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Who do you have? I couldn't be more excited.

28
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 3>We got the esteemed John E. L. Tenny, who famous

29
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 3>paranormal researcher and a lot of people say debunker. He's

30
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 3>an author, he formerly ran for MAYORVA City. He's a

31
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 3>well rounded guy and so welcome to John E. L. Tenny.

32
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>John, Welcome, Welcome, welcome, So excited to have you on. Well,

33
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>it's my pleasure to be here. I'm excited to get weird.

34
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 3>With the two of you.

35
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing.

36
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 4>You are, by far one of the most unusual people

37
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 4>I've ever met, and you're extraordinarily intelligent and well spoken.

38
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 4>I know a lot of weirdos and stuff, but some

39
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 4>people are just so weird in such a way that

40
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to hang out with them. But you're

41
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 4>just not one of those people. You're delightfully eccentric and

42
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 4>I just love that about you. And well dressed and

43
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>well dressed. Yeah, so I got three can sit on

44
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 4>right now that you know.

45
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>What's really funny is that started pretty much back in

46
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 1>when I was in a punk rock band back in

47
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>the days in the eighties, a friend of mine who

48
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>had this super tall mohawk and a leather jacket, and

49
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I cut my hair in a mohawk and showed up

50
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>with a leather jacket, and he said, what are you doing?

51
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I thought you wanted to be yourself. You

52
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>look like everyone else that's here.

53
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>And the next show that I went to, I bought

54
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a three piece suit and worked at the punk show,

55
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>and everybody started calling me the weirdo in the three

56
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>piece suit.

57
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>But I look different from everybody.

58
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 4>Right, you still do you stand out? Not everybody who's

59
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 4>interested in unusual things dresses to the tea.

60
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

61
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>T shirts and jeans pretty much seem to be the

62
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>standard these days.

63
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, well you're up in the game for everybody.

64
00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's another aspect to it.

65
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>When I used to go into lectures and conferences back

66
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties and nineties, like whether or not it's

67
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>just a subconscious thing that happens with us with authority figures.

68
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>But I always took the guys who were talking about

69
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody was talking about insane, crazy stuff, but the guys

70
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 1>that were wearing ties, I was like, oh, maybe maybe

71
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he knows something more.

72
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>He looks like an adult.

73
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 3>That's a documented that's a documented phenomenon. Actually, I believe it.

74
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I really do think that it makes a

75
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>difference when someone is kind of put together, and even

76
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>if they're telling you about UFO's and Bigfoot or ghosts,

77
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>like your brain sees that as some kind of authority

78
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>figure or.

79
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 3>A doctor's coat, white lab coat.

80
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I would normally say a mask, but you

81
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 4>know that's not the case nowadays.

82
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a different thing.

83
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 3>So I got to say, the last time I was

84
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 3>talking to you, John, are you ready to admit now

85
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.120
<v Speaker 3>that you were wrong and I was right that Bob

86
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 3>Lazar is the real deal?

87
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I still don't believe Bob's story.

88
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 4>Well, who's the Problemazarre, Bring me into this. Who's this guy,

89
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 4>the UFO.

90
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Guy from Area fifty one that came public in Oh yeah,

91
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 3>that guy Element fifteen and all that.

92
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 4>He claims to have worked there and seen everything and

93
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 4>all that other stuff. That guy, right, Yeah, Okay, so

94
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 4>that's not the real deal, John, in your opinion.

95
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, Bob's story first came around in the late eighties,

96
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and by the nineties people had their doubts, because when

97
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you say that you've been to colleges and worked at places,

98
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>there should be some kind something, some kind of paper

99
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>record trail of you being there. And by the mid nineties,

100
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>no one could find any of it, and his story

101
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 1>kind of got brushed under the carpet as made up.

102
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 1>And then, for whatever reason, his story came back around

103
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago and they made a documentary

104
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>about him, And like you, there's still no evidence that

105
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>he ever worked at the places he says he worked,

106
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>or even went to school at the places he went

107
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to school.

108
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 4>I bet that feeds his narrative, though, doesn't it Like

109
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 4>he's kind of twisted it and maybe he did work there.

110
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Who knows.

111
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 4>I don't know anything about this guy, but I know that,

112
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 4>at least in the bigfoot world, like when you ask

113
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 4>for evidence about a certain thing, particularly the strange things,

114
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 4>the person usually comes back no, there's they got rid

115
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 4>of it, or the government brushed it under the rug,

116
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 4>or that's what they want you to think or know.

117
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 4>They scrub the website, or there's some sort of a

118
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 4>more even more fantastical paranoid thing behind it that feeds

119
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 4>that person's narrative.

120
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but with Bob. But with Bob though, I mean

121
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 3>they did. He's a bunch of stuff he said back then,

122
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 3>it's now bored out to be true.

123
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But like I think, you know, if you look

124
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>at science fiction writers, a lot of the stuff that

125
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 1>they wrote bore out to be true too. Like if

126
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you if you guess enough and you say enough stuff,

127
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and you talk for a long and a period of time,

128
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>some of what you say is probably going to end

129
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>up being true, thank God.

130
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 2>But he knew about the.

131
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Hand the way the hand sensor worked and element one

132
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 3>point fifteen and his description of how they've and all

133
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 3>that kind of stuff. How does he guess that?

134
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, like even the hand sensor thing like

135
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>people have now discovered, Like there was an episode of

136
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Outer Limits that shows a hand sensor, and there was

137
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>a science fiction movie out of England that showed in

138
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 1>the United States that showed a hand censor, like back

139
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>in the sixties and seventies. And so I mean, you're

140
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>just kind of thinking forward. And like I said, if

141
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 1>you say enough stuff. The thing that really cracks me up,

142
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>because you're right, Cliff, Like a lot of people, especially

143
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 1>in the UFO community, will say, well, my record's been

144
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 1>scrubbed by the government if I of course they're they're

145
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>going to erase my trail and my history. But the

146
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 1>thing is a lot of the times, the majority of

147
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the time in my life, I've found it's even people

148
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 1>working against you make mistakes. They're just people, and something

149
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>ends up slipping through the cracks. Like there should be

150
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a yearbook somewhere with his picture in it, you know,

151
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>saying that he wanted to go to MIT, like he

152
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>said he went to MIT. And the only evidence that

153
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 1>anyone can find of that is like he intended like

154
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>an extra course that anybody could join in, like a

155
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 1>like a four week course on physics at MIT that

156
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 1>anybody can just join to.

157
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's not graduating from MIT.

158
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>We found that paperwork, but then all of his doctoral

159
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.319
<v Speaker 1>paperwork just seems to have vanished.

160
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, I think that we're getting ahead of

161
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 4>ourselves a little bit.

162
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's do this.

163
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 4>There may be a couple of people listening who don't

164
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 4>know who you are on like for example, like I

165
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 4>didn't know you're on a television show until years after

166
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 4>I met you. I just you're just some cool guy

167
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 4>I like to talk to. You know that we see

168
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 4>at these conferences and whatnot and etc. So bring us

169
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 4>all the way back and tell us how you got

170
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 4>so darned weird. To begin with, he's not weird.

171
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I say that in a be loving way.

172
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>By the way, yeah, I mean I talk about that

173
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 1>at my lectures too, Like the first time I was

174
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 1>called weird were by some kids that were probably punching

175
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 1>me in a stomach, you know. And I really love words,

176
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>so really quickly before I give you my brief history,

177
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like when I talk when I call people weirdos and

178
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 1>when I say people are weird. The etymology of the

179
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>word weird comes from the fourteenth century. For its w

180
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>y r d was the original word, and it literally

181
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>meant the people who lived on the outskirts of town

182
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 1>that didn't follow the rules of the kings and the queens.

183
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>It translates into those who manifest their own destiny. So

184
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>when I call someone a weirdo, I'm saying, like, you

185
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 1>think for yourself, and you don't necessarily.

186
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Follow the rules. So I does it Does it share

187
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 2>a root with the word wild? By any chance? It does?

188
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 5>Actually, yeah, yeah, I can see that. That's very interesting. Okay,

189
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.519
<v Speaker 5>you know, speaking of the weirdos that band review or

190
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 5>the weirdos of the band. Yeah, they had a great

191
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 5>squatch setting down in San Mateo County below San Francisco,

192
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 5>come Highway won They've had a gig at Santa Cruz

193
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 5>at the Catalyst the night before. Then they had a

194
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Friday morning morning radio Zoo cruise show or some kind

195
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 5>of thing like that. They had to appear in play

196
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.840
<v Speaker 5>live at like nine thirty am up in San Francisco.

197
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 5>So they left at the butt crack of dawn. Sanmaca's

198
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 5>driving Northland the Highway one, and a big female bigfoot

199
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 5>walked out into the Highway one. Hell, there had a

200
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 5>like stop like halt, like a cop wood or a

201
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:18.559
<v Speaker 5>traffic you know, crossing guard then waved in. Then three

202
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 5>from like teenage size to like kindergarten size, three little

203
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 5>hairy squatches came out single file and trotted across the

204
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 5>road and they walked off into the tree line.

205
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, my goodness, Well you know, I'm going to

206
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.720
<v Speaker 4>continue hurting these cats around a little bit. So weird

207
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 4>means somebody who's living on the fringes of society, then,

208
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 4>is essentially what you were saying.

209
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, and I'm not one of those people that

210
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of people in paranormal cryptozoology

211
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>that have stories about when they were little and something

212
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>strange happened to them. I'm not one of those kids.

213
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I legitimately was just a nerdy kid growing up in

214
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the kind of lower middle class suburb of Detroit, and

215
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like people telling me what I could and

216
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 1>couldn't think about. I think that's part of why I

217
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 1>joined a punk rock band and stuff. I just didn't

218
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>want people telling me what I could think about. And

219
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I ended up making friends with people who were witches

220
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 1>and psychics and UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists, and by

221
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the time I was eighteen, I was giving lectures on

222
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 1>things like political assassinations of the nineteen sixties or seventies

223
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 1>and UFOs and Michigan has a long history of strange cryptids,

224
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>so that fascinated me too. And when I was in

225
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 1>my second year of college, I thought I was just

226
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 1>going to be a history teacher with a major in folklore.

227
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>A friend of mine called me and asked me if

228
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to research for the show Unsolved Mysteries. So

229
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I quit college and that was my first foray in

230
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 1>television and kind of never really looked back. I mean,

231
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I held a lot of normal, everyday jobs, but I

232
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 1>was always supplementing it by driving around the country, going

233
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 1>to libraries and talking to people about weird stuff, or

234
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>working on television shows in the nineties like Sightings or

235
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 1>very scary stories on Fox. And when paranormal shows popped

236
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>up in the mid two thousands, like all of a sudden,

237
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 1>here's me. It's still relatively young, with you know, twelve

238
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen years of research under my belt. So I

239
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>got tapped by a lot of those shows to find

240
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>them cases.

241
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>And work with them.

242
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a lot of the cutting edge paranormal or bigfoot

243
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.000
<v Speaker 4>or what you know, whatever word you want to put

244
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 4>their research is frankly nowadays done by production crews. I mean,

245
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 4>Lauren Coleman's kind of put that out there in the world,

246
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 4>and he's kind of put that thesis there that it's

247
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 4>no longer benefactors and whatnot, you know, from you know,

248
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Tom Slick sort of folks in the nineteen fifties. Nowadays

249
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 4>it's production companies, which is good and bad. I mean

250
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 4>it's good because there's a lot of money there. Of course,

251
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 4>be thrown around, and these people are under the gun

252
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 4>and they get some stuff done. And also they're so

253
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.720
<v Speaker 4>gutsy and have no scruples because and they'll just call

254
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 4>whoever they don't care and just get to the bottom

255
00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 4>of things.

256
00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Man.

257
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 4>It's also bad because it's television and the vast majority

258
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 4>of things on TV end up being nonsense or you know,

259
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 4>sensationalized at least. So, yeah, you were one of those

260
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 4>guys back in the day with those early paranormal's sightings. Huh.

261
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 4>That was the Henry Winkler Show, wasn't it.

262
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was. He did a few episodes.

263
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they eventually switched away from him and just

264
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of did a voice over host because you know,

265
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>just for money purposes. But yeah, there's a I'm sure

266
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 1>if people dig through somewhere on eBay, a lot of

267
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:32.799
<v Speaker 1>those old weird UFO, Bigfoot and ghost VHS tapes that

268
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.039
<v Speaker 1>no one wants anymore. If you watch the very end credits,

269
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you'll probably see my name in there somewhere as a researcher.

270
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Cliff on the story about the flair video of the

271
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 3>big Foot from the helicopter.

272
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that what show was? That first unsolved mysteries,

273
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Unsolved mysteries. Yeah.

274
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 4>Fleer contacted Finding Bigfoot at one time, saying they were

275
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 4>clearing out some closets and they found a VHS tape

276
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 4>that all it had was were Bigfoot on it, and

277
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 4>so they put it in and they're for all you know,

278
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 4>it seemed to be a Sasquatch on flear walking, maybe

279
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 4>like a helicopter footage or something like that. It's like, well,

280
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.440
<v Speaker 4>what in the world is this? And they sent it

281
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 4>to our producers and they sent it to me or

282
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.960
<v Speaker 4>me and I'd never seen it before, as I don't

283
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.240
<v Speaker 4>know what that is, and they said, well, let's do

284
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.720
<v Speaker 4>an episode. Yeah, I mean it looks good. Let's do

285
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 4>it and find out it looked really good, right, And

286
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 4>then I have We were filming in Maine at the time,

287
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 4>and I was visiting with Lauren Coleman at his museum

288
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 4>and I said, yeah, Lauren, we're going to be filming

289
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 4>this thing in a couple of weeks. And I showed

290
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.399
<v Speaker 4>him the footage and he looks at it and he goes,

291
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 4>that looks familiar, and I go, really, oh, he goes,

292
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 4>let me think about that, And then like later he

293
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 4>sent me an email or called me or something, and

294
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.639
<v Speaker 4>he recognized the footage from one of those old nineties documentaries,

295
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 4>the one where Peter Burne was in it. And they

296
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 4>filmed over around the east side of Mountain Hood and

297
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 4>he was talking about how he has a helicopter at

298
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 4>his beck and call at twenty four were seven and

299
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.399
<v Speaker 4>thermal imagers and all this stuff, and like ninety four

300
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 4>and they got they put some dude in a suit

301
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 4>and they follow him around in a helico. That's what

302
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.679
<v Speaker 4>we're That's the footage we were watching. But I had

303
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.679
<v Speaker 4>not seen that episode, so I didn't resonate anything with me.

304
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 4>And then I said, oh my god, so we got

305
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 4>to get ahead of this. We almost hit an episode

306
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 4>on it. So I called the producers and said, stop everything,

307
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 4>check this out. And they said, oh my gosh. So

308
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 4>I will forever Oh Lauren for that. I think we

309
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.080
<v Speaker 4>all will forever. Oh Lauren for that one was talking

310
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 4>about have an egg on your face from some of

311
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 4>the old research stuff.

312
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Excited. Oh it was three. Yeah.

313
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.039
<v Speaker 4>I think that was the one that eventually turned into

314
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.919
<v Speaker 4>the Oregon versus Washington one. Maybe I can't remember which

315
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 4>one was one of these ones that we filmed so

316

351
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>so to talk about that old research in the nineteen

352
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.200
<v Speaker 4>ninety stuff, some interesting things have fallen through.

353
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>The c OH I would I would, I mean, I

354
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be shocked if they're I mean, there's I know,

355
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.879
<v Speaker 1>at least for unsolved mysteries, like with the production of

356
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.559
<v Speaker 1>any show, right, Like there are literally sometimes hundreds of

357
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>hours of stuff that never gets used and shown. And

358
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I have to believe in my little heart with some

359
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>hope of hopes that there are still you know, a

360
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 1>quarter inch and three quarter inch tape and videotape somewhere

361
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:20.599
<v Speaker 1>that has all of the interviews, like the extended interviews

362
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 1>that we did with people, a lot of the b

363
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 1>rule that we did because a lot, like you said,

364
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that stuff doesn't make the cut just

365
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>because it's not hyperbolic, but it's still information, and I

366
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>hope that doesn't get lost.

367
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 3>It will.

368
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I hope the stuff that I set off, you know,

369
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't make the cut gets lost.

370
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 3>I've be canceled in jail.

371
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, that stuff for sure exists too.

372
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.559
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, you know, filming paranormal shows, a lot

373
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>of the time, something strange will happen if you're in

374
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>an allegedly haunted location, and for whatever reason, like the

375
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>narrative just it doesn't fit all with you know, being

376
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>able to craft a story that fits in forty four minutes,

377
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.759
<v Speaker 1>and so that stuff just never sees the light of day,

378
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 1>and that kind of bums me out sometimes.

379
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, so tell me about the or tell us

380
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:16.240
<v Speaker 4>I guess about the show you hosted. I've never seen

381
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 4>this show, and I want to learn more about it.

382
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I definitely want to watch it episode.

383
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 1>How many people did? Yeah, not many people did the

384
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>show ghost Talkers. Yeah, so it was just it was

385
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a paranormal show. But I don't, you know,

386
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I have tend to working with networks and producers since

387
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the nineties. I tend to not work well with them,

388
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.839
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sometimes problematic with what I want and what

389
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I kind of demand if I'm going to be filming something.

390
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>And so when I pitched this show to them, where

391
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be me, someone who's done this for

392
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 1>a long time, and someone who's never done this before,

393
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.319
<v Speaker 1>investigating haunted locations, and I'll go in for one whole

394
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.640
<v Speaker 1>night by myself, and then the next night the other

395
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>person will go in and we can kind of show

396
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the difference between a seasoned investigator and someone who has

397
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 1>no real frame of reference for it. Like they liked

398
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that idea, but like the first thing right off the

399
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 1>bat was, I told them, you know, I'm if I'm

400
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:15.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be in there all night long, I don't

401
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:17.799
<v Speaker 1>want a camera crew like I want us to be

402
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.720
<v Speaker 1>shooting everything. And that kind of blew their minds first

403
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 1>of all, that I was going to be investigating actually

404
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 1>all night long, because a lot of the shows ghost shows,

405
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, they might investigate till midnight or one or

406
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock in the morning, but they're really not shooting

407
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 1>from nine o'clock at night untill nine o'clock in the morning.

408
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Just union rules, like your camera crew can't be there

409
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:43.240
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen hours shooting a show. But I talked them

410
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>into giving me camera credits, and Chad got camera credits,

411
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and we actually went into places and investigated all night long.

412
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And once the network realized that Chad was going to

413
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>scream a lot because he's in the dark and has

414
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.400
<v Speaker 1>never done this before, they really just edited the show

415
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.400
<v Speaker 1>around at and they thought it was really funny and engaging,

416
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and so a lot of the actual cool stuff that

417
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>happens I think kind of got glossed over.

418
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Plus, we shot at a time where our.

419
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.680
<v Speaker 1>First episode was up against a premiere, like a season

420
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>premiere of The Walking Dead.

421
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>We just got buried in us too.

422
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have to go against Sunday Night Football, which

423
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.759
<v Speaker 3>was the highest rated show in America, Walking Dead and

424
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Game of Thrones.

425
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that happened to us.

426
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.640
<v Speaker 1>We got our first episode got put against The Walking Dead.

427
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Nobody watched it, so they moved us, they moved our time,

428
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and when they moved our time, they moved us to

429
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night football and we got buried again. Then our

430
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.039
<v Speaker 1>third episode they moved our time slot again. So I mean,

431
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>we're three episodes in, we've already been on it three

432
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:55.680
<v Speaker 1>different times during the week, and that was enough to

433
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>just sink the whole thing.

434
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, and you're trying to keep it real, yeah.

435
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And there were some again, there was some great

436
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff on that show that just we were the first

437
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 1>paranormal show that was in twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen.

438
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 1>There were paranormal researchers the Psychical Research Society out of

439
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 1>England in like the eighteen hundreds, and they studied ghosts.

440
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're still around, but they were kind of

441
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the first ghost hunters and ghost stalkers my show in

442
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, Like we were the first show

443
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 1>to ever talk about them and show them on camera,

444
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>and like I thought that that was just a huge thing,

445
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's research missing from paranormal shows, and so I

446
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to kind of solve that with Ghost Talkers, and

447
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:42.480
<v Speaker 1>we did to a certain extent. But also, you know,

448
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.960
<v Speaker 1>if someone asked me. We went to a location where

449
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>someone had seen what they said was a goat man,

450
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:49.759
<v Speaker 1>and they asked me about that. And so I gave

451
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.359
<v Speaker 1>this kind of long dissertation on the history of goat men.

452
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 8>And if it was a short dissertation, it got cut

453
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 8>down to one line because I was I said, you know,

454
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.599
<v Speaker 8>in this like fifteen minute diatribe about goat men, at

455
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 8>some point I said, and you know, goat men are

456
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.559
<v Speaker 8>sometimes also recognized as demonic entities.

457
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 2>And that was They cut everything but that sentence.

458
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 1>And like when I saw the when I was doing voiceovers,

459
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and so I saw what was going to be the

460
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>final cut, I just like, Wow, this is what it's

461
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be. I guess what is your thing on

462
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 1>goat men? I think with animal people, I think that

463
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.039
<v Speaker 1>there is something. I think there's something psychologically like deeply

464
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 1>embedded in us from at one time evolving from small mammals,

465
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.319
<v Speaker 1>from being mice or the equivalent of something small and

466
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 1>warm blooded millions of years ago, that there are these

467
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of archetypal imageries set into our psychology where when

468
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.279
<v Speaker 1>it's dark, when it's unknown, when we're in a situation

469
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that we're unfamiliar with these kind of ancient, evolved archetypes

470
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>in our mind can pop up and we start seeing

471
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.359
<v Speaker 1>the things that we feared when we were tiny, warm

472
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 1>blooded creatures on the ground. I think that accounts for

473
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fear from UFOs and alien abductions. I mean,

474
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 1>if you think about the fact that mice are snatched

475
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.799
<v Speaker 1>off the ground by these silent, giant eyed owls with

476
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>white faces coming out of the darkness and just pulling

477
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 1>them into pulling these mice into nothingness, and then you

478
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:25.839
<v Speaker 1>look at alien grays with these giant eyes and white

479
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.279
<v Speaker 1>faces coming out of the darkness and abducting people in silence. Like,

480
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something there to that.

481
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:33.079
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that would be the source of the

482
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.799
<v Speaker 4>dog Man phenomenon that we're watching unfold now?

483
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's possible.

484
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>But also I think that especially now with quarantine and pandemic, like,

485
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:47.799
<v Speaker 1>people are really exploring the outside and seeing things like

486
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 1>with new eyes.

487
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>The thing that's.

488
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Difficult with me with dog Man or Bigfoot and like

489
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.599
<v Speaker 1>the mix of the two of them is if you're

490
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 1>in Wisconsin and you're near Bray Road, and you have

491
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>it in your head that you're going to see a

492
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:04.640
<v Speaker 1>dog man, but you see sasquatch, Like, how do you

493
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>rectifyd that? If you see a big, tall, hairy thing

494
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 1>walking through the woods and your mind is set on

495
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:11.359
<v Speaker 1>dog man, you're going to say you saw a dog man,

496
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.759
<v Speaker 1>but you might have seen sasquatch.

497
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:14.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, a lot of people don't see them though,

498
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 3>that's not the case. Like they didn't even they never

499
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.599
<v Speaker 3>even thought of dog many never they didn't think it

500
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 3>was possible. And then they'd say I saw a bigfoot

501
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 3>and you get the description to be like huge dog snout,

502
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, pointed er was on top of a tail,

503
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, like it's like that does big lits don't

504
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.640
<v Speaker 3>look like that's anyways bigfoots. You're not saying Bigfoot's not real,

505
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 3>are you?

506
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 4>No?

507
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.599
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I'm saying that.

508
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I think that when when people when people see things

509
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that they don't commonly see, if they have bigfoot in

510
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.279
<v Speaker 1>their mind and they write right and they see a

511
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>dog man, they say they see bigfoot. If they saw

512
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot and see a dog man, like the two can

513
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>get wrapped up in their mind because what they're they've

514
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 1>never seen a large, upright hairy creature walking through the forest,

515
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.119
<v Speaker 1>and so whatever is in their brain at the time,

516
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 1>which is most likely sasquatch, because just the most popular

517
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they're going to say they saw sasquatch. But like you said,

518
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 1>after you get their description and stuff, you can be like, oh,

519
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>that's not a sasquatch, that's something else.

520
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Let's talk about dog Man a little bit more. I mean,

521
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm completely satisfied. This says like sasquatches are living, breathing

522
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:17.400
<v Speaker 4>hominins or hominoids at least of some sort of other.

523
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 4>They're really here. They're to me completely biological. I've seen

524
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.880
<v Speaker 4>no reason to think otherwise. Dog Man I don't know

525
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 4>what to think because the precedent really isn't there. To

526
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.160
<v Speaker 4>my knowledge, there's not historical newspaper archives and stuff that

527
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.119
<v Speaker 4>details fightings with these things to my knowledge, at least

528
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:35.759
<v Speaker 4>to the extent of sasquatches. I've never seen a Dogman footprint,

529
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 4>for example. But yet I know some good witnesses, So

530
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:42.960
<v Speaker 4>there's something up like what is your idea or what

531
00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 4>is your hypothesis about that sort of thing.

532
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, with dog Man, I really don't know.

533
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Because so a couple of years ago I have went

534
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and researched dog Man case up in northern Michigan, and

535
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the farmer had come out his back door of his

536
00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 1>house and looked across his field and thought he saw

537
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 1>a man standing far off, maybe an acre and a

538
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 1>half away from him. Saw a man standing against a

539
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.359
<v Speaker 1>barbed wire fence, like legs kind of crossed, arm on

540
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 1>the barbed wire fence, kind of leaning back, chilling, And

541
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.160
<v Speaker 1>as he walked toward it, he said that he saw

542
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 1>what looked like a coyote, a very large coyote, standing

543
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 1>on its hind legs with its arm propped on the

544
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:28.400
<v Speaker 1>barbarare fence. And when he got closer to it, it

545
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 1>dropped down onto all fours, flipped itself backwards over the fence,

546
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and took off into the woods. And when I went

547
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 1>out there, I went out there a few days later,

548
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.519
<v Speaker 1>there were no tracks or nothing. By that time he

549
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.119
<v Speaker 1>had pretty much destroyed all of that by running around

550
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the area himself.

551
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's just this.

552
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Strange case of it not even acting like a wild animal,

553
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 1>like acting human.

554
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 4>And that really fascinated me. So I really don't know.

555
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean I did.

556
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 1>There was a dog man conference actually that I was

557
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:03.759
<v Speaker 1>a part of in Defiance, Ohio, and Defiance Ohio has

558
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 1>a dog Man, but it's more werewolf than it is

559
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:09.519
<v Speaker 1>dog Man. You know, it was seen wearing a shirt

560
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and pant like ripped up pants, very werewolf esque that

561
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:17.039
<v Speaker 1>attacked people on the railroad tracks in Defiance. So I

562
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know if there's something else happening with dog Man

563
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that is perhaps more psychological and less physical.

564
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 4>And how do you think this would tie into the

565
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 4>union theory about UFOs being like physical manifestations of something psychological.

566
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean when I get into the weirder occultish

567
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 1>metaphysical parts of it and start thinking about paulpas and

568
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 1>agrigors and thought forms and can you manifest something into

569
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the reality, Like that's where a lot of the stranger

570
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.599
<v Speaker 1>creatures I think might be coming from, Like these kind

571
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of deep seated archetypes and embedded fears that we have psychologically,

572
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 1>or perhaps we're seeing something that we just have no

573
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>frame of reference for and so our brain has to

574
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:06.880
<v Speaker 1>categorize it as something. If you see a creature with

575
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a long snout, we're most commonly familiar with dogs looking

576
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 1>like that, and so our brain says, that's a dog man,

577
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:16.160
<v Speaker 1>But who the hell knows what it really is?

578
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 3>We could be familiar with it through the whole demonic aspect.

579
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.519
<v Speaker 3>That's the case, yeah for sure.

580
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.759
<v Speaker 1>And again, like you know, it's one of those things

581
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you were saying, you know, the Bigfoot has like this

582
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:35.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of real generated history that we have tracks and

583
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:40.519
<v Speaker 1>we have prints, but the idea of where people is

584
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>far older than Bigfoot. The idea of a large upright hometed.

585
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Like we have stories about where wolves and where beasts

586
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of all different variant sorts that are that are coming

587
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:55.319
<v Speaker 1>from somewhere that are historically talked about throughout folklore and

588
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 1>mythology for centuries.

589
00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:59.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a tough one. I don't think we're going

590
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 3>to crack today.

591
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 1>But I'll tell you my favorite Michigan case is from

592
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:09.839
<v Speaker 1>the sixties, and I'm sure you guys know about it,

593
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's I always call it the atomic Bigfoot, which

594
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 1>is the Monroe Monster, which was Christine van Acker and

595
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.680
<v Speaker 1>her mom and allegedly a bigfoot tried to pull.

596
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Her out of a car and gave her a black eye.

597
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And it's right over by the Fermi power plant in Michigan.

598
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 3>Whatever. How with that one, Like the cops came and

599
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 3>there's police reports, right.

600
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, So the cops came.

601
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>There was a like two week long search that fifteen

602
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred people like combed the forest looking for something, and

603
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:44.079
<v Speaker 1>then a sasquatch type creature got spotted in Three Rivers, Michigan,

604
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>which is a few hundred miles away on the other

605
00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:48.880
<v Speaker 1>side of the state of Michigan, and so then the

606
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>search started over in Three Rivers to look for that thing.

607
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.519
<v Speaker 1>And a couple of weeks later, the police basically just

608
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>made a statement in the paper saying it was a

609
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 1>man in a woman's fur coat.

610
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

611
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:16.920
<v Speaker 4>We'll be right back after these messages. Yeah, easy to

612
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:17.960
<v Speaker 4>ride things off like that.

613
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.480
<v Speaker 3>She was injured, wasn't she.

614
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, her face was scraped up, she had a black eye.

615
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>And that same night, about two hours after her alleged attack,

616
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 1>there were some women coming back from her card like

617
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.039
<v Speaker 1>they had a woman's card game night and they were

618
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:39.640
<v Speaker 1>coming back in their car and something jumped in front

619
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 1>of their car and actually slammed its hands on the

620
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>hood of their car and dented the hood of their car.

621
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.720
<v Speaker 1>That same night, and the police said, you know, this

622
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 1>was just this guy trying to fool people and scare people.

623
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:55.519
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a really dangerous way to do that.

624
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably jumping out in front of driving cars in

625
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the night smashing their hoods is probably

626
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.319
<v Speaker 1>not the smartest, greatest thing to do.

627
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Women, I might have a girlfriend for twelve years.

628
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.759
<v Speaker 1>What's interesting to me about that case, though, is, as

629
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>far as I know, and I've tried a couple of times,

630
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 1>but I just end up getting lost or getting involved

631
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in another case because it leads somewhere else. Is that

632
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Christine Vanacker, that woman who was attacked, is still alive.

633
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 1>She still lives in Michigan, and there still has to

634
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 1>be I mean, she was relatively young. I think she

635
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:35.720
<v Speaker 1>was seventeen at the time, in the sixties, and I'm

636
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.559
<v Speaker 1>sure a lot of the people who searched the woods

637
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.559
<v Speaker 1>at that time are still around. But you know, as

638
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.799
<v Speaker 1>the days go by, the people you know pass away

639
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.119
<v Speaker 1>and information gets lost. And I'm really surprised no one

640
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.079
<v Speaker 1>has tracked her down and put her on record.

641
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 4>It's not easy to dig into some of those older cases.

642
00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:57.039
<v Speaker 4>And I mean, because the people are dying and I'm

643
00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 4>finding now I'm dealing I'm dealing with this whole Bossberg

644
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.079
<v Speaker 4>thing right now, Osburg, Washington, stuff that dealt with those

645
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:05.839
<v Speaker 4>the so called cripple foot casts, although I don't it's

646
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of an inappropriate name nowadays, but like the Bossburg incidents,

647
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 4>and I'm trying to find witnesses who had seen them.

648
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 4>I spoke to one gentleman who actually saw the prince

649
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:17.079
<v Speaker 4>in the ground. His brother is so far eluded to me.

650
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.200
<v Speaker 4>And I've been working with the Callville Historical Society to

651
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:22.160
<v Speaker 4>try to dig some of these people up, not literally

652
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.240
<v Speaker 4>because some of them actually are dead, but they're to

653
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:28.599
<v Speaker 4>try to find them and uh and I've gotten some

654
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.960
<v Speaker 4>uh stuff like but like no contact. But the most

655
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 4>recent thing I heard was, yeah, Cliff, a lot of

656
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.119
<v Speaker 4>those people are dead, but that set and implies that

657
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker 4>they're not all dead, so can help me out, you know.

658
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 4>So I'm still trying to find people like that too.

659
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.680
<v Speaker 4>And I do think that these historical cases are worthy

660
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 4>of looking into, because even even already and my cursory

661
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 4>glands at the Bossburg thing for the last couple of months,

662
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 4>found new we found new casts that didn't that nobody

663
00:32:56.680 --> 00:33:00.920
<v Speaker 4>knew existed, you know, from from almost or fifty years

664
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.920
<v Speaker 4>ago pretty much. So these old cases I think are

665
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 4>very worthwhile looking into, because as the young whipper snappers

666
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 4>in the community that we once were, and you know

667
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 4>now we're the old men of whatever field it is.

668
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.720
<v Speaker 4>But we're looking at this thinking, oh, well, the horseman

669
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.400
<v Speaker 4>already looked into that. I mean Green was there, Krantz

670
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:21.559
<v Speaker 4>was there, the Hinden was at the Bossburg thing. I

671
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.680
<v Speaker 4>mean Patterson was there, Dennis Jensen was there. Certainly they

672
00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.960
<v Speaker 4>would have done as thorough a job as could possibly

673
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 4>be done by humans.

674
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Apparently not.

675
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.279
<v Speaker 4>I think that old cases like that need a second glance,

676
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:38.079
<v Speaker 4>no matter how many decades have passed. So I hope

677
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 4>you hope you either chase this person down or know

678
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:42.240
<v Speaker 4>somebody who does.

679
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, it's one of those things, right, Like I

680
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:49.039
<v Speaker 1>was trying to put together a television show about the

681
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.359
<v Speaker 1>UFO sightings in Michigan in nineteen sixty six, which are

682
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.559
<v Speaker 1>arguably like the largest UFO sighting, that's the one that

683
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:59.079
<v Speaker 1>became known as the Swamp Gas sighting. But you have,

684
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:02.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, of people seeing these UFOs over the course

685
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>of two weeks. The police officers are chasing them in

686
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.639
<v Speaker 1>their cars, and I was like, this needs to be documented,

687
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and so I went to a network and pitched a

688
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.639
<v Speaker 1>whole show about, like, we have to find these people

689
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:16.559
<v Speaker 1>because now they are passing away, it's getting less and

690
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>less every single day. Let's get them on record finally,

691
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and maybe we can come to some type of not answer,

692
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:25.679
<v Speaker 1>but at least some kind of resolution about how they

693
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 1>should feel about their experience. And the network was super

694
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 1>into it, and we started shooting and going around with

695
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 1>the network. There was a telephone call and at some

696
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>point they said, well, is there any way that we

697
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 1>could slip some like bigfoot type monsters into the show?

698
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, no, it has nothing to do

699
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:46.559
<v Speaker 1>with that, and they were like, well, we just think

700
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it would be more interesting if there was a monster.

701
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 1>And I told them, like, I didn't want to do

702
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the show, and they that's how I don't get along

703
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:56.360
<v Speaker 1>well with networks.

704
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Like I just told them, Okay, I'm done. I'm not

705
00:34:58.239 --> 00:34:59.920
<v Speaker 2>doing the show. And then we didn't do the show.

706
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:03.119
<v Speaker 1>And I'm kind of sad in it because we were

707
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:07.159
<v Speaker 1>getting people on tape who were really instrumental and really

708
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:11.320
<v Speaker 1>involved in the sixty six sighting. But yeah, like that

709
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Christine van Acker case, like everybody makes documentaries about almost anything,

710
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:17.760
<v Speaker 1>strange now, which is to make content. And I'm so

711
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:21.719
<v Speaker 1>surprised there's not an hour long documentary or a Netflix documentary.

712
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:24.719
<v Speaker 1>This is a Bigfoot attack, right, like, this is a

713
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:29.599
<v Speaker 1>not very common experience of the an enraged Bigfoot, you know,

714
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>physically attacking someone and attacking another car, and fifteen hundred

715
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:36.039
<v Speaker 1>people searching the field. Like you'd think that'd make a

716
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty good two hour doc. And where did you hear

717
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:38.960
<v Speaker 1>about this case?

718
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.119
<v Speaker 2>John Oh?

719
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I first read about that case in probably

720
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.800
<v Speaker 1>one of Lauren's books. I know that it got covered

721
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.559
<v Speaker 1>here extensively in the newspaper that was, you know, a

722
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Michigan case. So it was pretty easy for me to

723
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:57.400
<v Speaker 1>go to the Troit Public Library and just pull all

724
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:02.559
<v Speaker 1>the microfeature records and start xeroxy everything. But I think

725
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I probably first read about it in one of Lauren's books.

726
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty well known, Cliff that one.

727
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:11.079
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I have about names, man, names are

728
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 2>like water in my hands.

729
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:15.800
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean, since it's close to the Fermi

730
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.199
<v Speaker 1>power plant, like I said, not to some things are hyperbolic.

731
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:21.280
<v Speaker 1>But in my notes into my files, I always write

732
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.119
<v Speaker 1>the atomic Bigfoot, just because it was right there and

733
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it sounds so in nineteen sixties, it sounds like a

734
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:27.360
<v Speaker 1>good sci fi movie.

735
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Because John, you're a noted skeptic and you're a debunker.

736
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Do you ever get hired to do that for these shows?

737
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Because I mean, you've I can't rub the top my

738
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 3>heavy You told me some great cases that you unraveled.

739
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So every now and then people will call me in,

740
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 1>not so much to debunk an entire case, but ask me.

741
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the things I did when I

742
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:54.159
<v Speaker 1>really realized I was going to be a researcher an investigator,

743
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:56.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the first things I did was like joined

744
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.519
<v Speaker 1>the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society for American

745
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Magicians because I wanted to know how my brain could

746
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.400
<v Speaker 1>be tricked just by magic. And then I started studying

747
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:09.199
<v Speaker 1>hypnosis and going back through all the old books that

748
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.159
<v Speaker 1>people use to fake seances and spiritualism. So a lot

749
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:17.519
<v Speaker 1>of times with ghost hunting shows, they would call me

750
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in and say, you know, this is happening, this is happening.

751
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Can we figure out if there's an actual rational explanation

752
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:26.760
<v Speaker 1>for this where it might not be a haunting or

753
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:30.920
<v Speaker 1>someone might be trying to trick us, And you know,

754
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that's good because you don't get fooled on television. You know,

755
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the show doesn't come out and then someone says, oh,

756
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I tricked you and fooled you.

757
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 2>But people have done some really.

758
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:43.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean I've seen people do stuff as crazy as

759
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:48.320
<v Speaker 1>putting swallowing dry ice chips so that their stomach will

760
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:51.840
<v Speaker 1>gurgle to sound like a demonic like voice in the dark.

761
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:56.320
<v Speaker 1>No kidding, Yeah, I mean it's crazy with the lengths

762
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:59.840
<v Speaker 1>people will go to to kind of hoax and you

763
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 1>try and full television shows because they want to be

764
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:03.079
<v Speaker 1>on TV.

765
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:05.360
<v Speaker 3>You know it, because I remember we were at one

766
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:07.920
<v Speaker 3>of those paranormal conferences and I was impressed because I

767
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 3>wasn't impressed with a lot of like a lot of

768
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.079
<v Speaker 3>those people like palm readers and psychics and this and that.

769
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, these people are They're fooling themselves and

770
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.840
<v Speaker 3>fool in other people. But the one person, the one

771
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:20.280
<v Speaker 3>person that I thought this person's the real deal was

772
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:23.559
<v Speaker 3>Amy from a Dead Files to get a shows And

773
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:26.719
<v Speaker 3>you said Amy Allen, Yeah, yeah, Amy, And I go,

774
00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:29.320
<v Speaker 3>she's I just knew she was the really that you said.

775
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.199
<v Speaker 3>You know what, the thousand people I've interviewed you said,

776
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:34.480
<v Speaker 3>she's one of four that I've believed.

777
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I've run into so many. I used

778
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.079
<v Speaker 2>to in the early two thousands.

779
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.559
<v Speaker 1>I used to go around, go around Michigan and test psychics,

780
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Like I had this huge thing that I would do,

781
00:38:44.840 --> 00:38:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and people would tell me they were psychic, and I'd

782
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:50.400
<v Speaker 1>have them come in and do all types of experiments.

783
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, I must have tested hundreds of

784
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>psychics in Michigan, and out of the hundreds I tested,

785
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:00.159
<v Speaker 1>there were maybe two or three that that could do

786
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>something that was really interesting. And sometimes it was you know,

787
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:05.840
<v Speaker 1>there was one guy that everybody told me was the

788
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.559
<v Speaker 1>best psychic, and I was really doubting what they meant

789
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>by best psychic, and I brought him in and tested him.

790
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:13.760
<v Speaker 1>And the first thing that I would do a lot

791
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.920
<v Speaker 1>of the times, if I was not really impressed with

792
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:19.800
<v Speaker 1>meeting the person and maybe not thinking that they were

793
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.280
<v Speaker 1>psychic right off the bat, just kind of using my

794
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.559
<v Speaker 1>BS detector, the first thing I'd do is I just

795
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 1>have them do a red and black gas on a

796
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:30.639
<v Speaker 1>fifty two deck of cards. And he did his fifty

797
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:33.880
<v Speaker 1>two reading and he looked at me and kind of

798
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:37.559
<v Speaker 1>giggled when we were done because he had gotten fifty

799
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.039
<v Speaker 1>of them wrong and he had two of them right.

800
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:42.519
<v Speaker 2>And he said, well, what do you think of my

801
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.440
<v Speaker 2>psychic powers?

802
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:45.239
<v Speaker 1>And I said, I think that you're probably one of

803
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.639
<v Speaker 1>the best psychics that I've ever seen, because getting fifty

804
00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:52.079
<v Speaker 1>wrong is as insane as getting fifty right.

805
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I had a fifty percent chance with each card

806
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:02.320
<v Speaker 4>it makes. Yeah, that's astronomical. The odds in set are phenomenal. Yeah,

807
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 4>And so like the idea, it was so funny just

808
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.599
<v Speaker 4>he was a psychic. And after I continue, I tested

809
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:10.840
<v Speaker 4>him for about a week and a half and what

810
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:14.960
<v Speaker 4>seemed so bizarrely incredible to me was that he was

811
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:19.679
<v Speaker 4>a psychic who always got everything wrong. And it was

812
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:23.800
<v Speaker 4>this whole twist on psychic powers, like he just couldn't

813
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:24.360
<v Speaker 4>get it right.

814
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:27.199
<v Speaker 1>There was something in his brain that he did the

815
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:30.480
<v Speaker 1>opposite of what he was supposed to be doing, whether

816
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.519
<v Speaker 1>it was card guessing tests or doing remote viewing, it

817
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:36.400
<v Speaker 1>was always exactly the opposite.

818
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:37.440
<v Speaker 2>It was so strange.

819
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's like a you know, Church of the SubGenius Jr.

820
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Bob Dobbs thing where Bob Dobbs bungles his way through divinity.

821
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

822
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:52.800
<v Speaker 2>The art of of the divine accident, I guess, you know, yeah, and.

823
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Being a magician too, you know, it did help because

824
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:57.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot of psychics and a lot of mediums are

825
00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:58.800
<v Speaker 1>just doing magic tricks.

826
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.880
<v Speaker 2>They're just doing cold reading. You know that they know

827
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the estimates.

828
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:06.639
<v Speaker 1>If you're talking to a man who seems to be

829
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.639
<v Speaker 1>between the ages of you know, eighteen and thirty, there

830
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of things that you can say to

831
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:14.519
<v Speaker 1>a man eighteen and thirty, no matter who he is,

832
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>if he was brought and usually you know, you find

833
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.079
<v Speaker 1>their name, you can pretty much guess that they're in

834
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the location that you're in speaking, and you can generalize

835
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to the point of seeming like you're psychic.

836
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:29.559
<v Speaker 3>With Amy, for instance, what convinced she was telling the truth.

837
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.440
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I find with people who

838
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>seem to actually have some type of psychic power is

839
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:41.159
<v Speaker 1>that they I don't like to use this word, but

840
00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I will just for lack of better terminology, which we

841
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:48.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have in a lot of the paranormal supernatural world,

842
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:53.199
<v Speaker 1>but they seem to almost really be cursed with it,

843
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:58.519
<v Speaker 1>and the way that they their body, their eyes, their mind,

844
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:02.360
<v Speaker 1>their voice, like everything reacts while they're doing it. It's

845
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.760
<v Speaker 1>almost as if there's some kind of miswire that's happening.

846
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:09.760
<v Speaker 1>And I see that a lot when I watch Amy

847
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.679
<v Speaker 1>do what she does, and just the way that her

848
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:16.519
<v Speaker 1>throat will click. There's little subtle things that happen with

849
00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:19.400
<v Speaker 1>her eyes. Some of them are not so subtle. And

850
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.199
<v Speaker 1>if she's faking, I mean, it's one of the best

851
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen. So she's almost like uncomfortable in a way.

852
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, for sure.

853
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.199
<v Speaker 1>One of the people that I know who lives in

854
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Michigan that I think is a really valid psychic friend

855
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of mine, names Damien. He does not promote himself as

856
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.719
<v Speaker 1>a psychic. He doesn't do really psychic greetings. I asked

857
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:46.840
<v Speaker 1>him to do psychic greetings. I told him, like, I

858
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:48.800
<v Speaker 1>want you to get out of your wheelhouse and I'm

859
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:50.159
<v Speaker 1>going to do a lecture, and I want you to

860
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.400
<v Speaker 1>come in the back and do psychic greetings for people

861
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.599
<v Speaker 1>and don't charge them. I'll pay you whatever you want.

862
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:57.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll pay you fifty bucks a reading or something like that.

863
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:59.639
<v Speaker 1>And I did my lecture and at the end of

864
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:01.119
<v Speaker 1>my life, sure, he came up and he was like,

865
00:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't know me anything. He's like, I did half

866
00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of one reading, and I just got really bummed out

867
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:08.960
<v Speaker 1>by it, and I thought to myself, like just that

868
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:12.119
<v Speaker 1>aspect of like if you were in this to make money,

869
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:15.920
<v Speaker 1>like he could have sat back there and made a

870
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.440
<v Speaker 1>few hundred dollars during the lecture. And he looked so

871
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.840
<v Speaker 1>worn out and so tired after doing a quote unquote

872
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:27.280
<v Speaker 1>psychic reading for someone for ten minutes and then just

873
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:29.639
<v Speaker 1>refused to do any more for the rest of the night.

874
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Like that's that is really telling about a person.

875
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

876
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:40.320
<v Speaker 4>Bobo will be right back after these messages.

877
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:49.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, a few years ago I heard you speak.

878
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:50.519
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't in the same room, but you were actually

879
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:52.199
<v Speaker 4>over the loud speakers at the time, which I really

880
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.559
<v Speaker 4>appreciated because you know, I was at my vending table

881
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:56.599
<v Speaker 4>and I don't get a chance to see the other speakers,

882
00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:59.519
<v Speaker 4>but actually heard yours And it was the first time

883
00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:03.679
<v Speaker 4>i'd heard your any any of your your lectures. And

884
00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:06.039
<v Speaker 4>what would I took away from it that I thought

885
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:08.760
<v Speaker 4>was really cool that you don't get a lot of

886
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:13.079
<v Speaker 4>was I could hear in your voice, and I could

887
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:17.119
<v Speaker 4>hear your encouragement for the audience. To dive in deep

888
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:21.719
<v Speaker 4>and enjoy what you're doing. I enjoy the weird that

889
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 4>that you find yourself in and how phenomenal that is

890
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:29.079
<v Speaker 4>to be able to do that. And you're so encouraging

891
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.239
<v Speaker 4>to the audience in this sort of way, because frankly,

892
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.559
<v Speaker 4>i'd be rate the audience. I say, we're not doing enough,

893
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:36.559
<v Speaker 4>good enough job. You call yourself a researcher, you know,

894
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:39.199
<v Speaker 4>like that, And like the old man Crotchety Cliff is

895
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:41.639
<v Speaker 4>on stage and everybody feels bummed when I leave, right

896
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:44.119
<v Speaker 4>because I'm trying to up everybody's game. But you, but

897
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:46.440
<v Speaker 4>you're much more encouraging than I am, and I just

898
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:50.239
<v Speaker 4>think that is so gratifying to hear. So can you

899
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.119
<v Speaker 4>tell us a little bit about that, about just that

900
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:54.000
<v Speaker 4>sort of spirit from which you come?

901
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I have always been the type of person.

902
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:02.559
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I know that people have difficulty talking

903
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:06.239
<v Speaker 1>about their bigfoot encounter or they saw UFO, or they

904
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:10.920
<v Speaker 1>think they saw a ghost, like the weirdness that people experience,

905
00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have difficulty with voicing. And I

906
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:19.119
<v Speaker 1>really do believe that if there was if we all

907
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:23.199
<v Speaker 1>talked about the weird stuff, we did the weird psychic flashes,

908
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that we have premonitory dreams seeing a weird light in

909
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the sky. If we discussed that openly and honestly with

910
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:33.199
<v Speaker 1>each other, we would realize that it's not so weird,

911
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Like we live in a vastly strange universe that we

912
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:40.960
<v Speaker 1>know actually very little about. And not only that, but

913
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the joy that comes along with mystery and the hunt,

914
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:49.920
<v Speaker 1>like going out into the woods in the darkness, going

915
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.079
<v Speaker 1>into an allegedly haunted house, staring at the sky looking

916
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for UFOs. These are things that the majority of people

917
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.760
<v Speaker 1>don't readily do, and so when you're doing you should

918
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:01.639
<v Speaker 1>be able to think to.

919
00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Yourself, like, how much fun is this?

920
00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the woods looking for Bigfoot or I'm in

921
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:10.119
<v Speaker 1>this old prison and I'm looking for ghosts. Most people

922
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:13.760
<v Speaker 1>who have lived and who will live don't do what

923
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:15.960
<v Speaker 1>we do. They don't think about what we think about.

924
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And that is joyful to me.

925
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it really is.

926
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 4>And it's nice to hear a voice like that because

927
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:25.079
<v Speaker 4>being so deep into it, like I am, and I

928
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:27.360
<v Speaker 4>know Bobo is and all that you know, but being

929
00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:30.840
<v Speaker 4>in our positions, I think it is something that is

930
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.079
<v Speaker 4>easily for myself, at least forgotten that I do somehow,

931
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:37.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, live an extraordinary life, even though it seems

932
00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:39.960
<v Speaker 4>like my ordinary life is when I wake up in

933
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.239
<v Speaker 4>every day. But it is extraordinary, and I forget that

934
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:45.760
<v Speaker 4>sometimes because all my friends are weirdos too.

935
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:49.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, But it's one of those things, right,

936
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Like to look for a UFO doesn't mean that you

937
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.480
<v Speaker 1>have to have like flears and night vision cameras and stuff.

938
00:46:55.639 --> 00:46:57.679
<v Speaker 1>It just means you go outside and like stare at

939
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:01.199
<v Speaker 1>the night sky and look at space. And while you're

940
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:04.599
<v Speaker 1>doing that, there's something in you that starts to contemplate

941
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the weirdness of reality and what's going on.

942
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:09.320
<v Speaker 2>When you're sitting alone in.

943
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:13.880
<v Speaker 1>An allegedly haunted house, you start to think about your

944
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.039
<v Speaker 1>mortality and the seemingly shared reality you have, what's going

945
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:20.159
<v Speaker 1>to happen with you when you die.

946
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:23.599
<v Speaker 2>You get very philosophical sitting out in the woods listening

947
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:27.400
<v Speaker 2>to nature and seeing this vast, crazy world of color

948
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:31.280
<v Speaker 2>and sound that the animals experience, probably in a very

949
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:35.039
<v Speaker 2>different way, and how you relate to it because we're

950
00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:38.639
<v Speaker 2>animals as well, and I do just really think it's wondrous.

951
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:42.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it absolutely is. Now now the experience you to

952
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:47.960
<v Speaker 4>subscribe is essentially the description of a fan or an aficionado,

953
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:50.800
<v Speaker 4>or someone who's interested in the phenomenon whatever it is,

954
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:54.599
<v Speaker 4>UFO's Bigfoot, etc. So, where is the line in your

955
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:59.800
<v Speaker 4>opinion where someone crosses over from being an enthusiast and

956
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.320
<v Speaker 4>into a researcher.

957
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Is zrey Lyne?

958
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:03.920
<v Speaker 4>And if so, where is it?

959
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I think for me the line was the first time

960
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I cold called a witness. I think that really made

961
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a deep difference in just being someone who was fascinated

962
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:18.800
<v Speaker 1>with the phenomena to actually like standing on a stranger's

963
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.760
<v Speaker 1>front porch and I am about to ask this question

964
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:23.519
<v Speaker 1>of a stranger. I am about to get into this

965
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:26.960
<v Speaker 1>conversation with this person who had what they thought or

966
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:32.320
<v Speaker 1>might have had an experience. And I think doing that

967
00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:36.639
<v Speaker 1>talking to experiencers and people who have had experiences and

968
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.559
<v Speaker 1>tracking down old cases that you can go and talk

969
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:42.679
<v Speaker 1>to those people, I think that's kind of where the

970
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:43.559
<v Speaker 1>line gets crossed.

971
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 4>So in a way, it's kind of probing someone else's

972
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:50.440
<v Speaker 4>life uninvited and documenting it.

973
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that part of it, And I think there's also

974
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:57.079
<v Speaker 1>a part of it too, where I think that you

975
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:01.360
<v Speaker 1>leave being a fan behind once you are doubting what

976
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:02.559
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking about.

977
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's an important thing. Tell us talk to us

978
00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:08.880
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more about doubting what you're thinking about.

979
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I like this line of thought.

980
00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:14.039
<v Speaker 1>It's one of those ideas. I mean, now, especially with

981
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:16.239
<v Speaker 1>social media and just the way the Internet is, you know,

982
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:20.440
<v Speaker 1>we get in these spheres that reconfirm everything we already

983
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:23.440
<v Speaker 1>believe and think that we believe, and it's hard to

984
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:26.800
<v Speaker 1>get out of those bubbles, and when you start to realize, like, oh,

985
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:30.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe that is not how it is.

986
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:30.559
<v Speaker 2>You know.

987
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I always tell people, and it's another reason that I

988
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.880
<v Speaker 1>sometimes get razed in the different communities, whether it's UFOs

989
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:40.719
<v Speaker 1>or cryptos or ghosts. I tell people all the time,

990
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:44.519
<v Speaker 1>like I truly try not to believe in anything. Like

991
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a belief is a concrete shoe. It keeps you from moving.

992
00:49:48.199 --> 00:49:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I have an infinitude of ideas. Ideas are malleable and flexible,

993
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:56.239
<v Speaker 1>and they can change over time. And that's something I'm

994
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:59.920
<v Speaker 1>very receptive to, especially when I'm talking to someone about

995
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.119
<v Speaker 1>something like sasquatch or talking to someone about UFOs. Like

996
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:08.119
<v Speaker 1>if a person thinks that UFOs are only nuts and bolts,

997
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's it, it's just a high tech civilization that

998
00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:14.320
<v Speaker 1>figured out how to do this before we did, and

999
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:17.360
<v Speaker 1>they came here. That doesn't seem all that interesting to

1000
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:21.519
<v Speaker 1>me if that's all the phenomena is. But if that's

1001
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.639
<v Speaker 1>what you believe it is, I think it's very limiting

1002
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in the scope of realizing how weird the world is.

1003
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:30.440
<v Speaker 1>And so I think challenging your own belief and saying,

1004
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:31.079
<v Speaker 1>am I right?

1005
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Am I wrong? Is that idea better?

1006
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Being able to throw out your old ideas as your

1007
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:40.559
<v Speaker 1>ideas evolve, I think is vastly, vastly important.

1008
00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 4>How much should your own modification of your own paradigms

1009
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 4>be based on evidence versus say, gut feelings or something

1010
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:54.360
<v Speaker 4>like that hunches.

1011
00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:57.159
<v Speaker 2>I think it's different for different scenarios.

1012
00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:00.199
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to something like if you're looking or

1013
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:04.119
<v Speaker 1>a flesh and blood Bigfoot, there is evidence, which I

1014
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:10.159
<v Speaker 1>think physical evidence, that will change your ideas about that

1015
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:14.000
<v Speaker 1>physical creature. When it comes to something like ghosts, that

1016
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:17.280
<v Speaker 1>change has less to do with evidence, because I think

1017
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that ghostly experiences and supernatural experiences like that are individualized

1018
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and they're kind of meant to help us on our

1019
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:33.239
<v Speaker 1>path to development of our understanding of the world. With UFOs,

1020
00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 1>it gets into a really weird area where there is

1021
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:40.559
<v Speaker 1>physical evidence and also a very deep psychological part. So

1022
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I think it plays I think it plays different roles

1023
00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:46.000
<v Speaker 1>in the different phenomenon.

1024
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, because you had your own, like you died and

1025
00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:51.920
<v Speaker 3>all that back in the day, I remember what you're saying.

1026
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when I was eighteen, I had a heart attack

1027
00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:59.119
<v Speaker 1>and died and total time of death was three and

1028
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:04.280
<v Speaker 1>a half minutes. And when I recovered from that, that's

1029
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:06.679
<v Speaker 1>really when I started my journey. Before that, I was

1030
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:10.360
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of lectures on government conspiracies, and I

1031
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:13.159
<v Speaker 1>think I said that earlier. And when I recovered from that,

1032
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Oh, what happened to me? Not only

1033
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:20.599
<v Speaker 1>biologically but psychologically? What did that experience mean? And what

1034
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:23.360
<v Speaker 1>does it mean when humans have that experience and how

1035
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:25.639
<v Speaker 1>does that change us? Do you remember any of it

1036
00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:28.079
<v Speaker 1>or is it just a missing three and a half minutes?

1037
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:28.760
<v Speaker 2>No.

1038
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:33.239
<v Speaker 1>So with my death experience, there are so typically with

1039
00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:36.880
<v Speaker 1>death experiences, there are three major experiences that people have.

1040
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.719
<v Speaker 1>The first one is the tunnel of light and loved

1041
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:43.199
<v Speaker 1>ones and going toward the light, and it's very happy

1042
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and positive, and that's the one you hear about the

1043
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:48.039
<v Speaker 1>most because it's a positive experience, and that's how people

1044
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:52.079
<v Speaker 1>understand it as a positive experience. The second one is

1045
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:54.920
<v Speaker 1>usually the person is out of their body. They're watching

1046
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the doctors work on them, they're aware of being dead.

1047
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.599
<v Speaker 1>They're in the hospital room or the ambulance, watching everything

1048
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:04.480
<v Speaker 1>going on, seeing people cry. That is kind of the

1049
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:08.559
<v Speaker 1>second most common experience. And then the third experiences, which

1050
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is the one I had, is called a null or

1051
00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:16.239
<v Speaker 1>a void experience, which is you go from living in

1052
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this seemingly shared reality with everybody else to existing solely

1053
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>by yourself inside of infinity forever, and there's nothing there

1054
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:32.480
<v Speaker 1>but you. You are nothing but thought or you can

1055
00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:35.159
<v Speaker 1>call it consciousness, but you are only aware of your

1056
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:37.960
<v Speaker 1>personality existing in the void forever.

1057
00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:41.360
<v Speaker 2>And that was my experience. It's kind of.

1058
00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Difficult to talk about because it encompasses eternity and infinitude,

1059
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:50.719
<v Speaker 1>which don't have really great words. So the idea that

1060
00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:55.199
<v Speaker 1>I was in a place forever seems strange to be

1061
00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>saying to you now, because this is obviously after forever,

1062
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and forever isn't supposed to have an end.

1063
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:03.360
<v Speaker 2>It's supposed to go on forever, so the words kind

1064
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:04.039
<v Speaker 2>of fall apart.

1065
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:06.079
<v Speaker 3>At a certain point, I think you, I've got a

1066
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:08.039
<v Speaker 3>preview of your trip to hell coming up.

1067
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:13.559
<v Speaker 1>So the thing that's really interesting when I talk to

1068
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:16.800
<v Speaker 1>other people who have had similar experiences is that in

1069
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:21.639
<v Speaker 1>the moment, it seems very hellish, very purgatory. But the

1070
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:25.719
<v Speaker 1>reality is that when you recover, when you internalize it properly,

1071
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:28.519
<v Speaker 1>when you really start to think about it, it is

1072
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a very transformative experience in the sense that I when

1073
00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I returned back to this reality, I was much more

1074
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.719
<v Speaker 1>caring and much more loving, and much more appreciative of

1075
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:44.880
<v Speaker 1>colors and sights and sounds and simple things and animals

1076
00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:48.880
<v Speaker 1>and people, and so it was a net positive experience.

1077
00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:52.159
<v Speaker 4>I would have to think that dying would make you

1078
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:54.239
<v Speaker 4>appreciate living, certainly.

1079
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I tell people all the time.

1080
00:54:56.239 --> 00:54:59.400
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I remember, like when I

1081
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:02.440
<v Speaker 1>woke up in the hospital bed, there was this whiteboard

1082
00:55:02.519 --> 00:55:05.639
<v Speaker 1>across from me, and it was framed in kind of

1083
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:09.519
<v Speaker 1>dark oak wood, and I remember looking at the wood

1084
00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:13.239
<v Speaker 1>frame and thinking to myself, Wow, brown is such a

1085
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:14.400
<v Speaker 1>beautiful color.

1086
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:16.639
<v Speaker 2>And I almost never saw it again.

1087
00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:21.159
<v Speaker 1>You realize that brown gray, like these things that we

1088
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:24.480
<v Speaker 1>take so much advantage of, we don't even think about

1089
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:27.840
<v Speaker 1>them anymore, how spectacular and beautiful they are. And then

1090
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:31.440
<v Speaker 1>when you start to think about people and individuality and

1091
00:55:31.760 --> 00:55:35.360
<v Speaker 1>each person you meet, how uniquely special they are. It really,

1092
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, is transformative.

1093
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Does that affect you when you're doing investigations in like

1094
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:42.079
<v Speaker 3>ghosts and that sort of terneral stuff.

1095
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to a certain degree.

1096
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I usually come at the when I'm investigating for a

1097
00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:52.400
<v Speaker 1>ghost or a spirit or something like that, I really

1098
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:58.679
<v Speaker 1>truly try to not personify that entity or spirit, whatever

1099
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:03.079
<v Speaker 1>people want to call it, in the sense that everybody

1100
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:04.800
<v Speaker 1>thinks that a ghost is kind of just like an

1101
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:07.360
<v Speaker 1>invisible version of you that can walk through walls and

1102
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:11.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. And I really think that the six

1103
00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:15.639
<v Speaker 1>year old me doesn't exist anymore, but John is still here.

1104
00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I have changed and grown because of the experiences of

1105
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:22.119
<v Speaker 1>my life, and so if I were to die and

1106
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:26.159
<v Speaker 1>be out of my body and still exist in some form,

1107
00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:29.519
<v Speaker 1>I would be having all new experiences. So how long

1108
00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:32.239
<v Speaker 1>would I remain John? How long would I remain this

1109
00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:35.400
<v Speaker 1>version of John? And a lot of people talk to ghosts,

1110
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:39.320
<v Speaker 1>like the people and taught, I try to speak to

1111
00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:45.039
<v Speaker 1>entities or research entities or research cases as if knowing

1112
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:48.280
<v Speaker 1>that they were people at one time, but that they

1113
00:56:48.320 --> 00:56:51.159
<v Speaker 1>have become something that's unknowable to me at this moment.

1114
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:54.199
<v Speaker 4>Is that your model for what ghosts are things that

1115
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.960
<v Speaker 4>were once alive and are no longer some of them.

1116
00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:00.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that I have as many.

1117
00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are probably as many different types

1118
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:07.760
<v Speaker 1>of spirits and entities as our ideas about spirits and entities.

1119
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, whether you start to think about, you know,

1120
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:15.440
<v Speaker 1>if there are extraterrestrials, do they have ghosts too? You know, so,

1121
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:18.159
<v Speaker 1>and why wouldn't they come to this planet as ghosts?

1122
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:20.639
<v Speaker 1>And so maybe some of the extraterrestrials are ghosts. And

1123
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:24.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I was at I was at dinner

1124
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.880
<v Speaker 1>with Amy Bruney there's a couple of years ago, and

1125
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.639
<v Speaker 1>her daughter, I think was four or five at the time,

1126
00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:33.559
<v Speaker 1>and her daughter said, you know, why are there no

1127
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:38.119
<v Speaker 1>dinosaur ghosts? And I thought to myself, like, well, maybe

1128
00:57:38.159 --> 00:57:40.960
<v Speaker 1>there are. Maybe that's why you can't catch Ogo Pogo,

1129
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and you can't catch the Lochness Monster, and you can't

1130
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:46.960
<v Speaker 1>catch the dinosaurs that people have spotted, Like maybe we're

1131
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:49.800
<v Speaker 1>seeing the ghosts of prehistoric creatures. Maybe some of the

1132
00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:52.440
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot sightings people see our caveman ghosts.

1133
00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:57.559
<v Speaker 4>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

1134
00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:06.639
<v Speaker 4>We'll be right back after these messages, I will say.

1135
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:13.000
<v Speaker 4>One researcher suggested that these orbs are Bigfoot ghosts, which,

1136
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:15.719
<v Speaker 4>of course, you know, I don't even want to think

1137
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:17.119
<v Speaker 4>about it at this point because I'm worried about the

1138
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:19.360
<v Speaker 4>physical animal, let alone with this other stuff. You know,

1139
00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:23.119
<v Speaker 4>but that's certainly been brought up before in the context

1140
00:58:23.199 --> 00:58:26.039
<v Speaker 4>of sasquatches. That's something like that is going on, and

1141
00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I guess why not. But I guess I'll worry about that.

1142
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:28.760
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1143
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Maybe when I'm dead, I'll look for Bigfoot ghosts. In

1144
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:33.639
<v Speaker 4>the meantime, I will look for living ones.

1145
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:36.119
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing too, Like I tell people at my

1146
00:58:36.239 --> 00:58:38.280
<v Speaker 1>lectures all the time, like research the thing that you're

1147
00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:41.199
<v Speaker 1>interested in. You don't have to look for Bigfoot as

1148
00:58:41.559 --> 00:58:44.079
<v Speaker 1>an alien or Bigfoot as a ghost. If you're interested

1149
00:58:44.159 --> 00:58:48.079
<v Speaker 1>in Bigfoot as upright hominid, you know, with local motion,

1150
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:50.400
<v Speaker 1>like go go for that and research that if you

1151
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:53.320
<v Speaker 1>want to. If you do want to, you know, investigate

1152
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:57.320
<v Speaker 1>aliens simply as nuts and bolt saucers. Go and do that,

1153
00:58:57.639 --> 00:59:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Like do what makes you happy and do what brings

1154
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.840
<v Speaker 1>joy into your life and fulfills that, you know, search

1155
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>for the mysterious that we're all kind of on a

1156
00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:07.800
<v Speaker 1>quest for.

1157
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:10.039
<v Speaker 4>That's one of the things I appreciate about my friend

1158
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:13.440
<v Speaker 4>Tom Powell, who thinks that sasquatches are you know, paranormal

1159
00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:17.159
<v Speaker 4>in nature, et cetera. And he goes at Cliff you Apers,

1160
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:18.960
<v Speaker 4>he calls me an apro even though I think that's

1161
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:22.280
<v Speaker 4>not exactly appropriate. It's not appropriate to actually what I

1162
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:24.960
<v Speaker 4>actually think is going on. But you Apers, I'm glad

1163
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:26.840
<v Speaker 4>you're doing it. It means I don't have to. We

1164
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:30.719
<v Speaker 4>just compare notes later, you know. So yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly,

1165
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.039
<v Speaker 4>you do you man, I'll do me yeah, and know that.

1166
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:36.000
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I stress too is I try and

1167
00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.480
<v Speaker 1>tell people at my lectures, like know that you're like,

1168
00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:43.519
<v Speaker 1>it's not supposed to be a we're not supposed to

1169
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:45.519
<v Speaker 1>be trying to, you know, one up each other, like

1170
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:51.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever weird paranormal, supernatural cryptozoological experience that you've had personally

1171
00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:55.239
<v Speaker 1>that each person has had personally, that experience is enough.

1172
00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:58.440
<v Speaker 1>A lot of the times we have people saying like, well,

1173
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I saw a bigfoot one time and someone will jump

1174
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:02.679
<v Speaker 1>on them and say, like, well, I've seen twelve Bigfoot

1175
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>in my life, and like seeing Bigfoot one time is

1176
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:09.599
<v Speaker 1>a big deal, and that experience is enough, Like you

1177
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have to keep up in your game, because that

1178
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:15.159
<v Speaker 1>sometimes will lead people to hoaxing stuff, which then messes

1179
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>up everything.

1180
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:20.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how often do you find hoaxers versus real, sincere

1181
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:24.840
<v Speaker 4>people who experience something strange? Would you venture like a

1182
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:29.320
<v Speaker 4>percentage or something like that or even common often? You know,

1183
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:32.960
<v Speaker 4>that's how often are you feeling people are either lying

1184
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:35.079
<v Speaker 4>to others or perhaps lying to themselves.

1185
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like a lot of the times, I don't

1186
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>think there's a percentage to hit, but I do feel

1187
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>that when I encounter a hoaxer or someone who is

1188
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>fabricating evidence, it really does have a lot to do

1189
01:00:48.599 --> 01:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>with repeater effect, where they will have one genuine or

1190
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:59.039
<v Speaker 1>real experience, and you know, then being unsatisfied with that,

1191
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>they per they start making stuff up to stay current,

1192
01:01:03.679 --> 01:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to stay in the kind of loop and conversation, and

1193
01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and then that eventually will discount their original experience. You know,

1194
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.159
<v Speaker 1>if you discover that they are hoaxing stuff, then even

1195
01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the real genuine one at the beginning.

1196
01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Falls into question, but I don't it's not that often.

1197
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I think that people are mostly genuine with their experiences.

1198
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I just think that there's also that part of humanity

1199
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:32.880
<v Speaker 2>where if they don't get the fame or you know,

1200
01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>recognition that they think they might deserve from having a

1201
01:01:35.800 --> 01:01:39.679
<v Speaker 2>weird experience, that's that's where people can start really messing

1202
01:01:39.800 --> 01:01:43.079
<v Speaker 2>up and start hoaxing and even I think, fooling themselves

1203
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:44.639
<v Speaker 2>about what they might be experiencing.

1204
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:47.599
<v Speaker 3>What's the craziest thing you saw it through your mind,

1205
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:50.400
<v Speaker 3>like paranormal was, that's.

1206
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>A fairly so if I go ghost.

1207
01:01:55.159 --> 01:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Then probably In nineteen ninety nine, a friend of mine

1208
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>who worked for the well, this is not ghosts, but

1209
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of spiritual. In nineteen ninety nine, a friend of

1210
01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:08.239
<v Speaker 1>mine who worked for the Archdiocese of Detroit. They asked

1211
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>me if I wanted to sit in on a Vatican

1212
01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:14.679
<v Speaker 1>spunctored sponsored exorcism, and so I did that. So I

1213
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:17.119
<v Speaker 1>spent you know, thirty two hours in this room with

1214
01:02:17.239 --> 01:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the client and two priests and watched them perform in exorcism.

1215
01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>And that really warped my brain for a few years

1216
01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to rationalize it and understand what I had seen

1217
01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and what the experience could have and might might have been.

1218
01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:35.159
<v Speaker 1>That was that was really crazy in a spiritual sense,

1219
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:37.519
<v Speaker 1>and so maybe kind of in a ghosty.

1220
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Sense or.

1221
01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Weren't Was it successful?

1222
01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>It was successful. It was very very strange. I mean

1223
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>it's not at all like you see in the movies.

1224
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>The client slept most of the time, but the client

1225
01:02:51.119 --> 01:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>did do things like speak multiple languages that there's no

1226
01:02:54.920 --> 01:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>way they probably could have known. They would manifest what

1227
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>looked like bruises and scrapes on their skin that would

1228
01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>disappear within moments. The body would contort in various ways

1229
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:12.599
<v Speaker 1>that I would think would break bone and you know,

1230
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.559
<v Speaker 1>pop muscles out of joint and didn't. It was It

1231
01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:18.599
<v Speaker 1>was very strange. And then when it was over, you know,

1232
01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:21.599
<v Speaker 1>the client went to sleep and the priest said that's it,

1233
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and it was done, and one priest and one assisting priest.

1234
01:03:28.079 --> 01:03:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And then where does the spirit go? Do they put

1235
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:32.400
<v Speaker 3>it into something or they just let it go on

1236
01:03:32.519 --> 01:03:33.360
<v Speaker 3>this ether?

1237
01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:33.679
<v Speaker 4>No.

1238
01:03:34.159 --> 01:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>So I just actually had a conversation with a friend

1239
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>of mine about this recently, which was, you know, some

1240
01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>of the things that don't get talked about or have

1241
01:03:41.239 --> 01:03:44.079
<v Speaker 1>become popular because of movies that are, you know, based

1242
01:03:44.119 --> 01:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>around exorcisms and stuff. But when when a Catholic priest

1243
01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:52.079
<v Speaker 1>is doing an exorcism, they don't really expel the entity

1244
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and send it back to Hell or get it out

1245
01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>of the body or whatever. What they're doing is they're

1246
01:03:56.440 --> 01:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>actually doing like a dissolution of evil, So it's just

1247
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:04.719
<v Speaker 1>dissolving out of the person, so it doesn't really go anywhere.

1248
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:05.840
<v Speaker 2>It just ceases to.

1249
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Be okay, and then you know, I've seen some pretty

1250
01:04:09.719 --> 01:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy UFOs up in northern Michigan. There were some really

1251
01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>fast moving, non traditional lights in the sky that seemed

1252
01:04:19.400 --> 01:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to be what people would say are and identified flying objects.

1253
01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:28.039
<v Speaker 3>And there structured on the actual craft or just lights.

1254
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:28.559
<v Speaker 4>Now.

1255
01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I saw in nineteen ninety three, I was actually working

1256
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a midnight shift at a job and I went outside

1257
01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:41.039
<v Speaker 1>and saw a black triangle that was illuminated from underneath.

1258
01:04:41.079 --> 01:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>It had almost like orange bubbles beneath it, and it

1259
01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>was flying silently over the city. And at one point

1260
01:04:49.760 --> 01:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it was so strange because when I first looked at it,

1261
01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was someone was flying a kite. It

1262
01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:57.679
<v Speaker 1>was like three o'clock or four o'clock in the morning.

1263
01:04:57.719 --> 01:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought, who's flying a kite at three or four

1264
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:01.039
<v Speaker 1>o'clock in the morning, and then as it got a

1265
01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>little further in front of me, I thought, oh, that's

1266
01:05:04.519 --> 01:05:08.119
<v Speaker 1>a weird flock of birds. And then right before it

1267
01:05:08.239 --> 01:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>disappeared over the top of the buildings to my to

1268
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>my right, I thought to myself, Oh, that's that's a

1269
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's a UFO.

1270
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:16.199
<v Speaker 2>And then it was gone.

1271
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>And it was so strange that I was looking at

1272
01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:22.239
<v Speaker 1>this thing for a minute and a half and UFO

1273
01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>was the last thing that I thought about when I

1274
01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:25.079
<v Speaker 1>saw it.

1275
01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:27.559
<v Speaker 4>It probably should be though, to be fair, you know,

1276
01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:31.719
<v Speaker 4>kind of eliminated everything else, right, Yeah, well, you know,

1277
01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:34.280
<v Speaker 4>when we were at Michigan Paracon together a few weeks

1278
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:35.760
<v Speaker 4>ago or a month ago, whenever that was.

1279
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I have a pretty.

1280
01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:37.360
<v Speaker 4>Elastic sense of time.

1281
01:05:37.400 --> 01:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to tell. Sometimes.

1282
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:43.519
<v Speaker 4>You told this wonderful story about manifesting a sea monster

1283
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.920
<v Speaker 4>of sorts, and I think it's so I don't know.

1284
01:05:46.920 --> 01:05:49.039
<v Speaker 4>I've been asking if you would mind telling that story,

1285
01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:51.440
<v Speaker 4>because number one, I think it shows that, you know,

1286
01:05:51.760 --> 01:05:53.960
<v Speaker 4>group thought is a pretty cool thing, and it's kind

1287
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:56.360
<v Speaker 4>of interesting and the possibilities what may or may not

1288
01:05:56.440 --> 01:05:59.400
<v Speaker 4>come from it, especially when we're staring down, you know,

1289
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:02.519
<v Speaker 4>the all of a strange gun pointed at our world today,

1290
01:06:02.599 --> 01:06:05.920
<v Speaker 4>that's all screwed up and everything. But also how when

1291
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:09.639
<v Speaker 4>you do manifest the thing of your wishes, it may

1292
01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:12.920
<v Speaker 4>not be the form that you expect. Like I always say,

1293
01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:14.719
<v Speaker 4>we know, like when you make a wish because you

1294
01:06:14.760 --> 01:06:17.119
<v Speaker 4>see a shooting star and a wishbone in a turkey

1295
01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:19.239
<v Speaker 4>or something. I always wish for something I already have,

1296
01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:21.119
<v Speaker 4>because that way I know the wish is going to

1297
01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:23.039
<v Speaker 4>come true, and it just seems to be efficient that way.

1298
01:06:23.559 --> 01:06:27.159
<v Speaker 4>But whenever I've asked for something else, I always seem

1299
01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:28.800
<v Speaker 4>to get it. You know. If I pray for something,

1300
01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:31.320
<v Speaker 4>or if I sure want something and I meditate upon

1301
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>it in some sort of way, I always get it,

1302
01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:35.639
<v Speaker 4>but it's never the form I want. And I think

1303
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:38.239
<v Speaker 4>your story kind of shows a nice example of that

1304
01:06:38.599 --> 01:06:41.039
<v Speaker 4>in a very humorous, awesome, lovely way.

1305
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:41.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1306
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So I did a cruise with I didn't know if

1307
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I had told her, Dana had told it. We went

1308
01:06:48.039 --> 01:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>on a cruise. Amy Brune puts together these paranormal cruises,

1309
01:06:52.280 --> 01:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and she asked me if I could do something like

1310
01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>can you can you do something for the guests after

1311
01:06:58.760 --> 01:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the speakers, you know, after we have dinner. And I said, yeah,

1312
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll put together like a group intension, a group experiment.

1313
01:07:05.440 --> 01:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>And so we did this twice. We did it on

1314
01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:13.159
<v Speaker 1>two different cruises. But the first time I didn't really

1315
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:16.719
<v Speaker 1>know what I wanted to do. I talked to some

1316
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:19.679
<v Speaker 1>friends back in Detroit and who are occultists, and I said,

1317
01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is the idea that I have. Let's

1318
01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:24.199
<v Speaker 1>let's try and manifest a giant sea monster, some kind

1319
01:07:24.239 --> 01:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>of love crafty and elder beast come out of the ocean,

1320
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:30.679
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see what happens. And so I got all

1321
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>these people out on the deck of the ship and

1322
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got them all kind of chanting, and they've got

1323
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>their hands over the water, and it's late at night.

1324
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:42.199
<v Speaker 1>It must have been a sight to see so much fun.

1325
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And the horizon that we were facing started to not

1326
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:52.119
<v Speaker 1>be very viewable, and it looked as if there was

1327
01:07:52.239 --> 01:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a black cloud rolling in. And as soon as that

1328
01:07:57.000 --> 01:07:59.159
<v Speaker 1>happened and people noticed it, you know, everybody's eyes were

1329
01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>open as we all noticed it, Like people stopped channing,

1330
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>they removed their hands. They started to get scared because

1331
01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:10.119
<v Speaker 1>it seemed like we were actually generating something that were

1332
01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>something weird was about to happen. And I was telling

1333
01:08:12.519 --> 01:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>people like, no, no, no, let's keep going, let's keep

1334
01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:17.239
<v Speaker 1>doing this, let's keep doing this. But people got nervous

1335
01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and started laughing, and some people got scared and walked

1336
01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:22.239
<v Speaker 1>away from the deck. And this thing that was coming

1337
01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:26.159
<v Speaker 1>toward us off the water, this black, kind of shapeless

1338
01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:30.439
<v Speaker 1>cloud coming toward us, just kind of dissipated and disappeared,

1339
01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:33.239
<v Speaker 1>and people were like, Oh, that's really weird, and I

1340
01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>wish I could, you know, I was telling people, I

1341
01:08:34.920 --> 01:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>wish we could have held on to it longer. And

1342
01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the next morning I wake up to the sound of

1343
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:44.479
<v Speaker 1>fog horns and our ship, over the course of the

1344
01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>night had gotten lost in the ocean, and there was

1345
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:52.119
<v Speaker 1>a fog bank that had surrounded our ship, and they

1346
01:08:52.199 --> 01:08:55.479
<v Speaker 1>weren't allowing anybody out on the decks because you literally

1347
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>couldn't see off the side of the boat the fog

1348
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:00.479
<v Speaker 1>was so thick. And we were I think sixty year

1349
01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:03.199
<v Speaker 1>seventy miles off course, and you know, those giant cruise

1350
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:05.239
<v Speaker 1>ships are all run by computer like they're not supposed

1351
01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to go off course. And I really still kind of

1352
01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>think to this day, like we manifested something like something

1353
01:09:12.079 --> 01:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>happened to our boat and people on the ship were

1354
01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:20.239
<v Speaker 1>very scared, but we eventually got back on course. The

1355
01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:22.479
<v Speaker 1>thing that's really crazy is so that was we were

1356
01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:25.119
<v Speaker 1>that was a trip to Bermuda and when we had

1357
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>done that, we were actually just on the tip of

1358
01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bermuda Triangle too. So that was one of the

1359
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>things that I kind of wanted to do. And when

1360
01:09:31.800 --> 01:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>we got back to shore a couple of days later.

1361
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:37.439
<v Speaker 1>The day that we got back to shore, a boat

1362
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:40.359
<v Speaker 1>actually came. They found a boat had risen from the

1363
01:09:40.359 --> 01:09:43.399
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the Bermuda Triangle while we were on our cruise.

1364
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:49.640
<v Speaker 3>No, I love it. Yeah, John, Where can people follow

1365
01:09:49.680 --> 01:09:52.479
<v Speaker 3>you on social media or your web page? You got

1366
01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:53.800
<v Speaker 3>a book? I know you got a book you can

1367
01:09:53.880 --> 01:09:54.600
<v Speaker 3>let us know about.

1368
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I try to make it easy for everybody.

1369
01:09:57.199 --> 01:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's just Twitter, Instagram, facebo, book all that stuff

1370
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is just my name, one word, John E. L. Tenny

1371
01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:07.439
<v Speaker 1>and then any book that you can find is probably

1372
01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon. I suggest if people, if any of that

1373
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>is too hard for people, they go to Google and

1374
01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:15.039
<v Speaker 1>they type my last name T E N N E

1375
01:10:15.319 --> 01:10:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Y into Google and then type the word weirdo after it,

1376
01:10:18.359 --> 01:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and then just follow wherever it leads.

1377
01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:25.159
<v Speaker 4>Awesome, awesome. Now aren't you doing a podcast right now too?

1378
01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:26.239
<v Speaker 4>Do you want to push that and you want to

1379
01:10:26.239 --> 01:10:26.560
<v Speaker 4>plug that?

1380
01:10:27.119 --> 01:10:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1381
01:10:27.439 --> 01:10:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I do.

1382
01:10:27.680 --> 01:10:30.479
<v Speaker 1>A podcast has nothing to do really with paranormal phenomenon

1383
01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:31.479
<v Speaker 1>unless it comes up.

1384
01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:34.000
<v Speaker 2>But I do it with my friend Jessica. It's called

1385
01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:34.840
<v Speaker 2>What's Up Weirdo?

1386
01:10:35.279 --> 01:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>And I normally talk to her every single day, and

1387
01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:43.560
<v Speaker 1>so I decided during quarantine, I wasn't getting my fix

1388
01:10:43.680 --> 01:10:48.239
<v Speaker 1>of hearing weird bar conversation by going out and seeing people.

1389
01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:50.279
<v Speaker 1>So I told her, like, let's just record our phone

1390
01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:53.039
<v Speaker 1>calls and we'll put one a week out and people

1391
01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:55.479
<v Speaker 1>can just listen to two friends talking to each other

1392
01:10:55.560 --> 01:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and maybe they can find some camaraderie in that. So

1393
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.159
<v Speaker 1>it's called What's Up Weirdo, And that website is What's

1394
01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Upweirdo dot com and it's available on all podcast platforms.

1395
01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:06.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's strange, just kind of how this podcast was born. Actually,

1396
01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:10.880
<v Speaker 4>so I was already talking to Bobo anyway. So John,

1397
01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:13.319
<v Speaker 4>thank you so much for coming on Bigfoot and beyond.

1398
01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:18.119
<v Speaker 4>Whenever you're not near, I miss you. I only get

1399
01:11:18.159 --> 01:11:19.960
<v Speaker 4>to see you once or twice a year, but man,

1400

01:11:25.079 --> 01:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I'm going to try and put an event

1403
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:28.359
<v Speaker 2>together for you and Bobo to come to Michigan.

1404

1406
01:11:34.399 --> 01:11:38.399
<v Speaker 4>some other circuit and it's rare that our paths cross,

1407
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:40.119
<v Speaker 4>but it is always a joy when it does.

1408
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need you guys to come up and look

1409
