Speaker 5: Where Did the Road Go? Dot com. Now here is
Speaker 5: your host, Soriah.
Speaker 2: Welcome to this edition of Where Did the Road Go Go?
Speaker 2: And tonight I have joining me aj from the Parasortium podcast,
Speaker 2: which is primarily on substack right well.
Speaker 6: It's substack, YouTube, Spotify, and like nine other platforms, so
Speaker 6: it's pretty preferse.
Speaker 2: Okay. I'm only familiar with it from some substack.
Speaker 6: I just came on to substack by the request of
Speaker 6: some of the people because they don't like Patreon and yeah,
Speaker 6: and it's an easier platform to deal with.
Speaker 2: I do like substack. I have no real complaints about
Speaker 2: it though, and it seems like a better community overall,
Speaker 2: honestly than a lot of other social media.
Speaker 6: It is they have less of the problematic sorts.
Speaker 2: Now you've how long have you been doing Parasortium?
Speaker 6: This is our fifth season, so five years, okay. Prior
Speaker 6: prior to that, we were we were working in preservation
Speaker 6: of artifacts and and that sort of thing. So so
Speaker 6: we built up and then someone said do a podcast. Okay,
Speaker 6: and here we are five years later and it's become
Speaker 6: our main thing. And what kind of artifacts, Well, it's
Speaker 6: a broad thing. We do local artifacts and like when
Speaker 6: people are teared down schools and whatnot, they'll send us
Speaker 6: a picture. We'll preserve a picture of something that they
Speaker 6: found that has historical significance, and then if they do
Speaker 6: it right, we can create a three D model of
Speaker 6: it and have that in the museum somewhere.
Speaker 2: Why not just get the artifacts.
Speaker 6: Sometimes the artifacts are broken and so I end up
Speaker 6: with the pieces and then I stitch it back together
Speaker 6: and use my artistic skills to infer the damage pieces
Speaker 6: that are missing. And so it's a lot of tedious work, sure,
Speaker 6: and we've done a few items of that nature now
Speaker 6: less so because we're more into creating content for YouTube
Speaker 6: and substack. We're actually we're working on a couple of
Speaker 6: TV shows to bring to market in the next couple
Speaker 6: of years. Hopefully that that works out.
Speaker 2: TV is always a sketchy market, it seems it is.
Speaker 6: They're very fickle. Yeah, they come in, they want you
Speaker 6: to change everything. That's why one of the projects. If
Speaker 6: I can, I'm going to do like a Kickstarter and
Speaker 6: see if I can't fund it myself. There you go,
Speaker 6: because it's it. I'm going to have to hire at
Speaker 6: least one or two other people to do it with me,
Speaker 6: and that's a significant amount of money considering it's an animation.
Speaker 2: Oh and.
Speaker 6: And right now I'm doing all of the animation and
Speaker 6: learning animation while i'm doing it, so so it's.
Speaker 2: Fun at least you enjoy it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've always been artistic, so you've and.
Speaker 2: You've had paranormal experiences your whole.
Speaker 6: Life, Yes, right from when I was a baby.
Speaker 2: What were the early ones?
Speaker 6: When I was six months old and just starting to
Speaker 6: babble and say names, I started talking to someone in
Speaker 6: my crib and my parents asked me if it was
Speaker 6: my grandmother that was living with us, and I shook
Speaker 6: my head no, And they were looking through albums and
Speaker 6: I pointed to my grandmother that had died ten years
Speaker 6: before me and said Nanny Alice. And I shouldn't have
Speaker 6: been speaking that well at that time, but I said that,
Speaker 6: and it kind of freaked them out.
Speaker 2: I'm also surprised you remember that young I.
Speaker 6: Don't remember it, but I was told the story. Oh
Speaker 6: okay a thousand times afterwards because my house was severely haunted.
Speaker 6: We had a former owner who was a rather belligerent
Speaker 6: person who liked to choke people. Oh and people that
Speaker 6: weren't used to the house. If they stayed in my bedroom,
Speaker 6: which was the old garage where he worked, they would
Speaker 6: wake up in the middle of night feeling like they're
Speaker 6: being choked and and then run out. So I was
Speaker 6: the only one that could stay in there. But he
Speaker 6: tried to choke me once and I told him to
Speaker 6: go away, and he never bought bothered me again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's remarkable how that works.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you're when you're dealing with ghosts, they're like
Speaker 6: people if you if you give them a boundary, they'll
Speaker 6: stick to it, particularly if you're forceful, and then with
Speaker 6: your intentions towards maintaining that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, so apparently he liked you more than anyone else.
Speaker 6: I guess. I guess I didn't like his piano playing.
Speaker 6: I still don't like piano because of it.
Speaker 2: So would it just be like random piano notes or no.
Speaker 6: My grandmother had a like an old organ, and it
Speaker 6: was an electric organ. So it would play unplugged. Oh,
Speaker 6: and he he would play old funeral churches. So it
Speaker 6: was it was very creepy. And as a kid, I
Speaker 6: hated him. I didn't I didn't like anything to do
Speaker 6: with him. But I had my grandmother's spirit protecting me
Speaker 6: the whole time. I would feel her presence in the
Speaker 6: room because I would smell magnolia. These are memories I
Speaker 6: haven't talked about in a minute, But it kind of
Speaker 6: built from there.
Speaker 2: Why why do you assume it was the former owner?
Speaker 6: Because we had direct evidence of the man and people
Speaker 6: that lived in the area remembered him, and they no
Speaker 6: one liked him. He was he was one of those
Speaker 6: guys if you went on on his property, come out
Speaker 6: with a shotgun and threaten you.
Speaker 2: Oh beautiful.
Speaker 6: Yeah. But it was also a wife beater, and so
Speaker 6: so his wife left him and he became just a
Speaker 6: bitter old man. And at that point the house was
Speaker 6: only a quarter of the size that it was when
Speaker 6: when I was in it, because it was a cabin
Speaker 6: and they built they built additions onto the cabin and
Speaker 6: made it like it was like a four bedroom house
Speaker 6: out of it.
Speaker 2: It was an old place on top of that, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well it was. It'd been there since the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you're out of We never talked about it.
Speaker 2: You're out of Canada.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes. At that point, my hometown was Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Speaker 6: It was a Kearney Lake area which became in the
Speaker 6: in the early eighties part of the city, but prior
Speaker 6: to that it was part of the county.
Speaker 2: Gotcha. Okay, So that was that was your earliest stuff.
Speaker 6: That was the earliest stuff. But we started having UFOs
Speaker 6: following us and that I remember being four years old
Speaker 6: and seeing UFOs every day. It was day or night,
Speaker 6: it didn't matter. In the daytime, it would be a
Speaker 6: silver oblong object, kind of like a football shape, and
Speaker 6: as soon as I I or anyone noticed it, it
Speaker 6: would do like a stagger around and then and then
Speaker 6: fly off in a direction.
Speaker 2: Did it always look the same?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, and this is this is in in the
Speaker 6: early eighties, so it's it's we didn't have drones like
Speaker 6: we do now, but even it's more in kind like
Speaker 6: a tick tack like the tic tac I think. But
Speaker 6: around that same time, in my bedroom I had blue
Speaker 6: and red lights like orb like things flying around me
Speaker 6: and the red one touched my belly and burnt me,
Speaker 6: and I flipped my lid and ran to my parents.
Speaker 2: How were you?
Speaker 6: I was four?
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, And.
Speaker 6: They thought that I'd rolled over, And it was in
Speaker 6: the summer, so it was hot and I was sweaty,
Speaker 6: and they thought I'd rolled over and stuck my belly
Speaker 6: against the plug. But it wasn't the case. But I
Speaker 6: had like a three prong burn just above my belly,
Speaker 6: but similar to the shape of that, but the opposite
Speaker 6: direction to what it should have been. So, because you know,
Speaker 6: the three prong one is usually on the bottom, but
Speaker 6: this was reversed like a triangle.
Speaker 2: Even so, and I don't think you could lay against
Speaker 2: that and cause that to happen.
Speaker 6: It shouldn't. I think it was more of them trying
Speaker 6: to explain it to me to calm me down. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but they I would talk about it in public and
Speaker 6: they would say, no, no, don't do that, right because
Speaker 6: they didn't want me to get ostracized for being a weirdo.
Speaker 6: But I here, I am doing this, so lean.
Speaker 2: You have to. But honestly, you just have to be
Speaker 2: yourself and not worry about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if people don't like it. Then they're not people
Speaker 6: that you weren't around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: But the UFOs after that, they didn't come into the bedroom,
Speaker 6: like the entities didn't come into the bedroom. Bedroom. But
Speaker 6: a couple of years later, I was around six years
Speaker 6: old and I got lost in the woods, and it
Speaker 6: was like nature itself protected me.
Speaker 2: At that time.
Speaker 6: But I somehow got a two day walk away from
Speaker 6: home by adults, and I was like six years old.
Speaker 6: I got two days away in a matter of twelve hours. Wow,
Speaker 6: So I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: Why you got lost? You remember, like why you got lost?
Speaker 6: I remember that I was chasing a bunny and then
Speaker 6: all of a sudden I didn't recognize my surrounding and
Speaker 6: I ran for a bit and then I found this
Speaker 6: big oak tree and I just sat under it and
Speaker 6: stayed there, and it kind of felt like it was
Speaker 6: protecting me, and so I felt comfortable enough that I
Speaker 6: fell asleep and I woke up to my dad and
Speaker 6: a tracker finding me, and they woke me up and
Speaker 6: they were of course, my dad was very upset. Why
Speaker 6: did you run off?
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: I was grounded for a month after that. You're not
Speaker 6: leaving this year.
Speaker 2: But how did they track you?
Speaker 6: The tracker he followed the footsteps.
Speaker 2: But you said you didn't go very far, but you
Speaker 2: were found two days away.
Speaker 6: I found I was found two days away, but it
Speaker 6: was they tracked me by footsteps, and I don't know
Speaker 6: how that could be because it was so young. And
Speaker 6: they only told me this story a few more times,
Speaker 6: like from their point of view, and I told them
Speaker 6: my point of view. I got two days away in
Speaker 6: twelve hours, but it was like I said.
Speaker 2: Ran right, right, but you don't remember doing that? And
Speaker 2: did they find you under the oak tree?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So the oak tree itself was like two days away
Speaker 2: from where you got into the woods.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 6: It was missing time easily.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's weird that they were able to track you.
Speaker 6: It is it's like there's a physical, physical way that
Speaker 6: they were able to find me, because otherwise they wouldn't
Speaker 6: have never found me, right, So something protected me, that's
Speaker 6: all I can say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's wild.
Speaker 6: But it's not the only time in my life I've
Speaker 6: had lost time. Oh Okay, when I was in my twenties,
Speaker 6: I was in the military and I got hurt and
Speaker 6: I lost three years of memories, but at that time
Speaker 6: it was I lost time as well because they couldn't
Speaker 6: locate me for three days.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: So and this is only from reports that were given
Speaker 6: to me. I don't remember any of that time.
Speaker 2: And was it a situation where again you were found
Speaker 2: outside of where you should have been able to get to.
Speaker 6: I think so they were perplexed as how I could
Speaker 6: get as far as I did. There's not a lot
Speaker 6: that I actually remember of that time because I.
Speaker 7: Was injured, how badly injured? I was severely concut. Okay,
Speaker 7: so it was it was just very odd. It was
Speaker 7: like I went five hundred kilo plumb. I'm not sure
Speaker 7: what that would be in miles. It was five hundred
Speaker 7: kilometers away from where I should have been.
Speaker 2: Let's see, I don't know what that breaks down into
Speaker 2: in miles either.
Speaker 6: It's about two hundred and fifty roughly.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good distance.
Speaker 6: It is, and average you can do about thirty to
Speaker 6: sixty miles in a day.
Speaker 2: Three hundred and ten point seven miles there you go. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's that's a lot. That's a lot, especially with
Speaker 2: a concussion.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I have a strong will to live when
Speaker 6: I was fourteen, We go go back a bit. Yeah,
Speaker 6: when I was four fourteen, I was poisoned by bleach.
Speaker 6: Oh my guy prepared donairs on bleach. He killed two
Speaker 6: people and six others like myself, were affected by it.
Speaker 2: What did this guy do?
Speaker 6: He prepared donair on bleach.
Speaker 2: What's donair?
Speaker 6: Donair is like a shwarm up, but that is either
Speaker 6: it's meat, meat that's been cooked on a spit and
Speaker 6: shaved off with tomatoes and a creamy sauce, and it's
Speaker 6: on a peda.
Speaker 2: And he just added bleach into it.
Speaker 6: Well, he poured bleach on the board like he was
Speaker 6: going to clean it and then never cleaned it off. Oh,
Speaker 6: and then prepared food on it.
Speaker 2: Was that intentional on his part?
Speaker 6: I think so, because he ran He ran away after
Speaker 6: that and no one could find him, and they shut down.
Speaker 6: They shut down the place, complicated, confiscated whatever they could.
Speaker 6: But wow, Yeah, I led internally for a month and
Speaker 6: passed away three times. Oh man, I say three times.
Speaker 6: It was more more more than that, but that I
Speaker 6: can remember.
Speaker 2: Did you did you have any in your death.
Speaker 6: Experiences or yeah? Yeah, I the last one. I was
Speaker 6: gone for fourteen minutes and I had no no brain function,
Speaker 6: and they they were calling time and death and I
Speaker 6: sat up on them.
Speaker 2: What did you experience in that time?
Speaker 6: I know that I was on a dirt road, kind
Speaker 6: of like a desert dirt road, and I was walking
Speaker 6: either I don't know if it was a sunrise or sunset,
Speaker 6: but it was the sun was low in the sky
Speaker 6: and I was walking towards it, and I heard a
Speaker 6: voice say, you can come here and have peace for yourself,
Speaker 6: or go back and have peace for your family. And
Speaker 6: so I turned around and came back. But there's some
Speaker 6: imagery to do with that. Something guided me back, and
Speaker 6: it was it was a dragon, but it was not
Speaker 6: your usual dragon. My family Cress is a sea dragon.
Speaker 6: It's a royal sea dragon with twin lions, and that
Speaker 6: basically symbolizes that you're part of royalty. This is the
Speaker 6: British Royalty anyway. So I saw that and they guided
Speaker 6: me back to myself, and then I sat up and
Speaker 6: freaked out everyone.
Speaker 2: Obviously he recovered from the bleach poisoning I did.
Speaker 6: It still kind of affects me. My My stomach lining
Speaker 6: is weak because of it, yeah, and prone to tearing.
Speaker 6: So I have to be careful what I eat and
Speaker 6: how much I eat.
Speaker 2: Did you know that there's actually like a whole drinking
Speaker 2: bleach movement. Yeah, it's they believe that bleach will clean
Speaker 2: you out, which, yes, it will.
Speaker 6: Definitely clean you out. It'll burn your guts it and you'll.
Speaker 2: Bleed behind the Bastards did a whole like two part
Speaker 2: series or something on it. I can't remember if if
Speaker 2: they consider themselves a church or what, but they're very
Speaker 2: pro drinking bleach and they think it's the solution everything.
Speaker 2: And uh when COVID hit and Trump said saying about,
Speaker 2: you know, if we could just get the bleach inside
Speaker 2: of you, they took that as him like advocating what
Speaker 2: they were doing.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 6: Scary and people call me weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't do it intentionally, no.
Speaker 6: Oh man. But it's when when people do that sort
Speaker 6: of thing, it's like the whole snake wrangling right in church.
Speaker 2: I would much rather play with a snake.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, but the snake will still bite you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Well, so it's the Genesis two Church of
Speaker 2: Health and Healing. They promote Miracle Mineral solution, a toxic
Speaker 2: liquid that is essentially industrial bleach. As a fake miracle
Speaker 2: cure for autism, cancer, COVID and nearly all disease.
Speaker 6: Wow, and how many of their members of the past, because.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure a lot. It was some terrifying stuff
Speaker 2: they were reading on behind the bastards where they like
Speaker 2: people were like, oh, my kid is pooping out all
Speaker 2: this this weird white stuff, and like they're going, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's his intestines, you know, that's that's wow. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: It's nuts.
Speaker 6: It boggles the mind that people people will go along
Speaker 6: with that. But a lot of cults they poison themselves. Yeah,
Speaker 6: the death cults and that, Yeah, that is that doesn't
Speaker 6: get anything weird for you on your on your show.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 2: And I was absolutely shocked that anyone can think drinking
Speaker 2: industrial bleach is somehow a cure.
Speaker 6: It's it's odd. I've heard of people eating uh pods
Speaker 6: the time, laundry pods.
Speaker 2: That was that was a stupid challenge that people put out.
Speaker 6: But but the thing is that this is how many
Speaker 6: people can lead off the edge of the cliff and
Speaker 6: not go over myself. That's usually the case that the
Speaker 6: person person that eggs it on is not the person
Speaker 6: that's going to do it.
Speaker 2: The thing too about like a church of drinking bleach.
Speaker 2: It's like you're going to kill all your your members eventually.
Speaker 6: Yeah, eventually you're gonna be the last one alive.
Speaker 2: I mean, did you ingest a lot when you when
Speaker 2: you were you know, exposed?
Speaker 6: It was it was maybe a tea spoon, but it
Speaker 6: was it was enough that a burnt burnt holes in
Speaker 6: my stomach lining and I led internally. On top of it,
Speaker 6: the meat that he fed us was also ransom. Oh awesome,
Speaker 6: And so I had seminole poisoning and bleach poisoning at
Speaker 6: the same time. So I was quarantined. And actually the
Speaker 6: only thing I remember is wandering around the hospital room
Speaker 6: saying I'm not going to die. And then my dad
Speaker 6: snapped me out of my psychosis at that point and said,
Speaker 6: stop doing that. You're making me feel Isn't that good?
Speaker 6: You're freaking me out.
Speaker 2: At least you weren't saying I am going to die.
Speaker 2: That would be a lot more freaky.
Speaker 6: That would be a lot more freaky. But the last
Speaker 6: time I passed, he had gone home to get changed
Speaker 6: in that and then when he came back, all the
Speaker 6: doctors were freaking out and he was like, what's going on?
Speaker 6: Your son's okay, but he had he had passed and
Speaker 6: blah blah blah, and they told him all of this.
Speaker 6: And two weeks later I was least from the hospital,
Speaker 6: well on the way to mending. But I think me
Speaker 6: choosing to live turned the tide for me. My body
Speaker 6: just started healing itself good. But yeah, it was, it was.
Speaker 6: It was an intense time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't even imagine having to go through that
Speaker 2: was the guy caught.
Speaker 6: No, no, really, no, he disappeared to a country without extradition.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 6: That's as far as they got. And he was he
Speaker 6: was in his sixties. Yeah, so I don't think he
Speaker 6: lasted that long.
Speaker 2: Now, those are the ones who lived forever.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, true, true. But we go forward, went with
Speaker 6: weird experiences around.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 6: I was around thirty thirty years old, thirty thirty one,
Speaker 6: and this is after I got out of the military
Speaker 6: and all of that, and I was on my way
Speaker 6: to work. I was standing at the bus stop. It
Speaker 6: was around mid to late October, and I was right
Speaker 6: across from what they call Africville, which was the place
Speaker 6: that reached slaves from the States came to and they
Speaker 6: built homes in that particular area, but the city had
Speaker 6: gone in and ousted all of them and moved them
Speaker 6: into the projects. Basically, they had built public housing for
Speaker 6: them and they destroyed Africville. But there was a whole
Speaker 6: fight that happened in that area. People had died, people
Speaker 6: had been hurt in this. So I know all of
Speaker 6: that history. But I was standing there mining my own business,
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, someone screaming at me
Speaker 6: in my face in Haitian. But they're not there.
Speaker 2: You heard it, but they were there.
Speaker 6: I heard it, and I also felt the warmth of
Speaker 6: their breath on my face. And I knew it was
Speaker 6: Haitian because when it was a kid, one of my
Speaker 6: friends was Haitian and E spokation to me. So I
Speaker 6: understood that buddy saying get out of here. So I
Speaker 6: don't remember the words now, my memory's not not as
Speaker 6: good as it was, but I remember he told me
Speaker 6: to get the hell out of there, and my bus
Speaker 6: came a couple of minutes later, so I hopped on
Speaker 6: the bus and went to work. But weird stuff like
Speaker 6: that happens to me all the time. The more liminal
Speaker 6: work that I do, the more happened. So it's if
Speaker 6: I'm in that in between place. But because I've been
Speaker 6: dead so long or so many times in my life,
Speaker 6: I think I'm kind of half in, half out. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and so this stuff is attracted to me.
Speaker 2: Was when you were fourteen? Is that the only time
Speaker 2: he almost died?
Speaker 6: No? No, when I was born, I was born without breath. Okay,
Speaker 6: the stress of it stopped my heart, so they resuscitated
Speaker 6: me and all of that, and then at four years old,
Speaker 6: I drowned and had to be resuscitated. Then, so I'm
Speaker 6: a fighter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, but yeah, it's no close calls in
Speaker 2: the military.
Speaker 6: No, no, well one one. But it was a rocket
Speaker 6: grenade hit a car next to me and blew me
Speaker 6: against a wall and I got concussed and uh and
Speaker 6: shrapnel in my face.
Speaker 2: So was that the Missing Time episodes? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's pretty bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds it.
Speaker 6: I have a little bit of PTSD from from moments
Speaker 6: like that. It's it's not just that, it's the feeling
Speaker 6: like you're you can't stand down, that you can't that
Speaker 6: you can't feel safe. Yeah, you're always on alert. You're
Speaker 6: always uh fireflight. It took a lot of years to
Speaker 6: get over that.
Speaker 2: Did you ever completely get over it?
Speaker 6: No? No, I'll have moments where we're all panic, and
Speaker 6: I've learned methods to medicate it, and it's only through
Speaker 6: meditative practices and uh self awareness. I'll get into a panic,
Speaker 6: my heart rays, and I'll start to have flashbacks a
Speaker 6: little bit, and then something will click in my mind
Speaker 6: and I'll realize I am not there, and so I
Speaker 6: take a few deep breaths and and kind of kind
Speaker 6: of stepped back mentally from the situation. But it's always there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and You've been a lot.
Speaker 6: I've lived a life.
Speaker 2: So going back, I know you said you had at
Speaker 2: least one weird experience during the military besides the missing
Speaker 2: time one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were clearing a cave and something streached at
Speaker 6: us and started throwing rocks at us. And it was
Speaker 6: pale skinned and kind of looked like the rake. But
Speaker 6: this is before I knew what the rake was. The
Speaker 6: rake kind of gave me an idea of what that
Speaker 6: thing looked like.
Speaker 2: I forgot the rake was a thing until you mentioned
Speaker 2: it exactly. That was that a creepy pasta Initially it was.
Speaker 6: A creepy pasta. It has no reality. It was something
Speaker 6: someone made up just to scare people. But this thing
Speaker 6: was real. This thing was attacking us. We shot at
Speaker 6: it and it ran off. We never found a body,
Speaker 6: we never found blood, but we knew we had hit
Speaker 6: it right. So whatever it was, it had armor.
Speaker 2: And this happened with other people obviously.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, there was six of us.
Speaker 2: And everyone saw the same thing.
Speaker 6: Two of them are dead now. But it happened well
Speaker 6: after I had come home, and it's kind of we've
Speaker 6: kind of lost touch. Yeah, it's a that experience. I
Speaker 6: was happy to have people that experienced weirdness with.
Speaker 2: Me, Yeah, especially saying like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but recently, recently, like in the last twelve years,
Speaker 6: I've had a lot more experiences of high strangeness. Okay,
Speaker 6: like synchronistic things like the number one one one occurs regularly, Okay,
Speaker 6: and I'll be making a video but up like a
Speaker 6: short and without realizing it, I'll make it one point
Speaker 6: one one minute, eleven seconds and it's just it'll happen.
Speaker 6: I'll be Okay, that's weird. But and then after having
Speaker 6: that experience, things will kick off, like I'll see we
Speaker 6: have what we call our house fairy. It's less, it's
Speaker 6: been around less since our cat passed, but it's it
Speaker 6: still comes in and it's about a four foot tall
Speaker 6: hairy creature. Okay, in Slavac uh they by mythology that's
Speaker 6: a domovic kind of like a brownie. So we have that.
Speaker 6: I'll see that. Ever so often, I've seen doppelgangers of
Speaker 6: my wife come into the bedroom and I'll be I'll
Speaker 6: react to her. A few times have been on the show,
Speaker 6: and I react to it and there's no one there,
Speaker 6: and the outfit that she was wearing that I saw
Speaker 6: her in is not what she's wearing.
Speaker 2: So well, for a moment, let's go back to the
Speaker 2: to the fairy. What does it look like like you
Speaker 2: physically see this thing?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has like a brown, dark brown her everywhere,
Speaker 6: cold black eyes, like a pointed muzzle like nose, and
Speaker 6: it kind of like to play peek a boo. I'll
Speaker 6: notice it and then it'll it'll peak around the corner
Speaker 6: a few more times and then I'll hear it run off.
Speaker 6: So it's odd, but because I've had so many odd things,
Speaker 6: it seems normal to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know how that goes.
Speaker 4: A Cast recommends.
Speaker 6: Hi.
Speaker 3: I'm Dan Snow, historian and host of Dan Snow's History podcast.
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a brand new series
Speaker 3: I don't need to miss about the real history behind
Speaker 3: the Odyssey, with a major new Hollywood adaptation arriving this month,
Speaker 3: will trace odysseus Is epic journey across the Mediterranean, uncover
Speaker 3: the world of Myceny and Greece, and investigate the mysteries
Speaker 3: of Homer and what draws us back to this timeless
Speaker 3: masterpiece again and again. For everything you need to know
Speaker 3: about the Odyssey, check out Dan Snow's History hits wherever
Speaker 3: you get your podcasts A.
Speaker 4: Cast powers of world's top podcast including.
Speaker 1: Off Menu, the Adam Buston Podcast, and the show you're
Speaker 1: listening to right now.
Speaker 2: You just kind of gloss over the little ones.
Speaker 6: Yeah, But my wife and I we both saw the
Speaker 6: same thing at work. We saw shadows that were whipping around.
Speaker 6: We worked together for a short period of time overnight
Speaker 6: and we were out putting out trash and it was
Speaker 6: like a bunch of little shadows whizzed around us and
Speaker 6: then flew away. But my wife, she had a physical
Speaker 6: reaction to it. Her kit. She had a year after
Speaker 6: we moved to Vancouver Island, my wife had kit these
Speaker 6: stones and her kidneys started hurting before we experienced the shadows.
Speaker 6: So when we went out, it whizzed around us and
Speaker 6: then they left. She started feeling better after that, and
Speaker 6: so when weirdness happens, she'll feel it in their kidneys.
Speaker 2: Interesting has she shared a lot of experiences with you.
Speaker 6: A couple. We did an experiment where we summoned UFOs okay,
Speaker 6: and we both we both saw saw UFOs But was
Speaker 6: it because we wanted to find it? Or was it
Speaker 6: because it came to us? We don't know.
Speaker 2: You just know it worked.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And weirdness with that is video. We saw lights
Speaker 6: with our naked eyes, but the video registered it as
Speaker 6: a blur.
Speaker 2: So what color with a light there?
Speaker 6: They're like a green color. And the one my wife
Speaker 6: saw went straight across the sky, and the one I
Speaker 6: saw was going up into the.
Speaker 2: Sky and go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Now. I looked at it several times trying to figure
Speaker 6: out if it was someone firing something from the from
Speaker 6: the ground. But I talked to military people about that
Speaker 6: and they said nothing was being fired at that time,
Speaker 6: So what I saw is unconfirmed. What she saw wasn't
Speaker 6: a plane either, and so that is unconfirmed. So and
Speaker 6: we have the footage, but it's just a blur, like.
Speaker 2: Is it a blur because it was moving too fast.
Speaker 6: Or once she saw was moving slow at a slow
Speaker 6: pace left or right through the clouds and then disappeared.
Speaker 6: So and you can see you can see the drink.
Speaker 6: You can see the blur moving across the screen slowly,
Speaker 6: and then it moves behind a cloud and disappears. The
Speaker 6: blur is no more. It's like an anomaly in the footage.
Speaker 2: Because was it about the same size as what she saw?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Oh, it was weird.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm always fascinated by that because I think our
Speaker 2: brains are probably picking up more information than is actually
Speaker 2: visible spectrum, and it's just kind of putting it into
Speaker 2: the visual spectrum.
Speaker 6: Well, that's something I didn't mention. I was born blind. Oh,
Speaker 6: I was so severely cross eyed that the only vision
Speaker 6: I had was infrared.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I didn't even though that was a thing.
Speaker 6: It is, it is. You see infrared at the side
Speaker 6: of your eyes. Okay, so my whole world was infrared
Speaker 6: for eighteen months in my life. They did an operation
Speaker 6: and took the muscle from my eyelid and split it
Speaker 6: and grafted it my eyes to add the muscle that
Speaker 6: was needed to straighten them. So I have my sight
Speaker 6: because of an experimental surgery. At that point, I was
Speaker 6: one of like three people who had that surgery, and
Speaker 6: now now it's commonplace.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no idea we could see an infrared
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, So that that in and of itself made
Speaker 6: me weird when as a kid, because when I painted things,
Speaker 6: if I wasn't careful, I would and infra red.
Speaker 2: Even after everything was thick.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So do you still see infrared?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, like to what degree? Like can you see infrared
Speaker 2: coming from cameras and remotes and stuff?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah. I'm also sensitive to sound. The military when
Speaker 6: they did all their testing, they found that I heard
Speaker 6: one octave less than a dog wow. And I even
Speaker 6: picked up on vibrations of the guy tapping a pen
Speaker 6: on the table in the room adjacent to me.
Speaker 2: Man, So that must be a little bit of maddening.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, Well it was so bad when I was
Speaker 6: a kid. I get affected by the old TVs because
Speaker 6: old tubes would hum, yeah, and it was a high
Speaker 6: pitched hump, and if I was too close to it,
Speaker 6: it would drive me insane. I couldn't could not be
Speaker 6: in the same room with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I could hear that too, and it always
Speaker 2: may be crazy.
Speaker 6: It's it's funny, funny, how quirky the body is. If
Speaker 6: you lose one one sense others pick up, pick up,
Speaker 6: But it's more your body adapts to using those for
Speaker 6: gathering the information it needs to move around.
Speaker 2: I mean I was. I was never at a point
Speaker 2: where I couldn't be in a room with the TV.
Speaker 2: But like, if the TV was on but muted, I
Speaker 2: could tell it was on because I'd hear it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, me, me, it would. If I was too close
Speaker 6: to it, it would be like, uh tonight, okay, constant humming,
Speaker 6: and it would it would make me dizzy.
Speaker 2: I guess you're grateful for modern TVs then, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's even even though if if I'm right
Speaker 6: next to it, I can hear the electricity in it
Speaker 6: less so now because I have some some hearing damage
Speaker 6: from listening to loud music and life.
Speaker 2: That's right, you're in the metal, who aren't you? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the wait does? Does the Queen's Right song? I only
Speaker 2: Dream and Infrared have a special meaning for you.
Speaker 6: Yes, it does. But I think because I'm hyper sensitive
Speaker 6: to energy around me, like hearing, electricity and all of that,
Speaker 6: having my senses heightened from being without true sight for
Speaker 6: eighteen months kind of set me up that even that
Speaker 6: makes me weird because I would hear things that other
Speaker 6: people wouldn't write. I remember playing cards with my mom
Speaker 6: and we started hearing voices. It was like at one
Speaker 6: o'clock in the morning, and we heard voices, and I
Speaker 6: started saying, what's that? And then my mom trusted me,
Speaker 6: and we sat there and listened for a few minutes,
Speaker 6: and we realized that it was a conversation we had
Speaker 6: had earlier in the day. Oh wow, that was being
Speaker 6: played back by the house.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever heard of that before. It's
Speaker 2: like a reverse Vardoga.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but what happens a lot in some places. This
Speaker 6: is what I call a residual hype wanting. And it
Speaker 6: doesn't have to be someone who's dead. It can be
Speaker 6: people that are very much alive. And all it is
Speaker 6: is a recording if if you live in it in
Speaker 6: an area where there's a high amount of electricity, high
Speaker 6: amount of EMF nova Scotia is predominantly courts, and that
Speaker 6: is known to record information.
Speaker 2: Was that particular conversation emotionally charged?
Speaker 6: We were talking about my grandmother, I think, and she
Speaker 6: had just passed away a few years prior, and it
Speaker 6: wasn't particularly emotional, but my mother did get emotional in it,
Speaker 6: like she cheered up in that. But it wasn't like
Speaker 6: a fight or anything like that. It was just us
Speaker 6: talking about my grandmother.
Speaker 2: Well maybe that was enough to give it just that
Speaker 2: extra energy directly or push.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of kind of a cool situation.
Speaker 2: Earlier, when you said you saw UFOs growing up, I
Speaker 2: mentioned the lights in your bedroom. What other types of
Speaker 2: UFOs did you see? We never got to that.
Speaker 6: Like at night, Well, at night they would be outside
Speaker 6: my wind just above the tree line. Now my bedroom,
Speaker 6: there was another room beyond it. My window didn't open
Speaker 6: to the outside, but there was a window beyond that,
Speaker 6: and in the summertime I would open both so I
Speaker 6: could see the tree line out of the window and
Speaker 6: I would see it sitting there kind of watching me
Speaker 6: all the time.
Speaker 2: And what did that look like?
Speaker 6: It was just around orb of light, usually like blue.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it was like a green color, but it would
Speaker 6: change shape. It wouldn't be the same. Most of the
Speaker 6: time it was just like a round object, but sometimes
Speaker 6: it would kind of elongate and become the gar shape.
Speaker 2: So you could see the object as well as the light.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well it was depending on the on the
Speaker 6: time it was at dusk, I could still see the object.
Speaker 6: Later it would just be the light, but it had substance.
Speaker 6: You could tell it had substance. But then as soon
Speaker 6: as I paid attention to it, it would whizz off.
Speaker 2: It never blinked out. It actually just flew off.
Speaker 6: It just flew off. It was like someone was observing.
Speaker 2: Me, right, which I mean doesn't really make any sense
Speaker 2: even if the tech existed, like.
Speaker 6: Why why would they be watching a kid the well.
Speaker 2: But not really that, like they would have to know
Speaker 2: where you were. It had to be like tracking you
Speaker 2: and all this other stuff.
Speaker 6: Well, it chased us a lot, really, We would be
Speaker 6: out and we would notice it. My dad had a
Speaker 6: version of the General League. He worked on cars a lot,
Speaker 6: and so when they were filming General the Dukes of Hazards,
Speaker 6: he built cars for them. That's cool, And so they
Speaker 6: gave when when filming was done, they gave they gave
Speaker 6: him one of the damaged cars and he rebuilt.
Speaker 2: It and that was the original series. I assumed that was.
Speaker 6: The original series, so it's kind of cool. Uh. And
Speaker 6: he had he had the horn set up to it
Speaker 6: so it was complete. It was great, but I.
Speaker 2: Just really stood out in Canada.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, with the Union jacks on the side.
Speaker 6: But people loved it. We went to the car shows
Speaker 6: and that, and he would show it off. But this
Speaker 6: one time, I remember it was following us and I said,
Speaker 6: Dad and Dad, they're there, and he looked up and
Speaker 6: he said, I'm going to get away from it. And
Speaker 6: he hit the gas and we sped sped down the
Speaker 6: road and it kept pace with us. We got to
Speaker 6: like one hundred and thirty plumbers an hour and then
Speaker 6: took the corner at speed and nearly White nearly flipped
Speaker 6: the car. Actually there was a wild ride. And we
Speaker 6: got to the house and it was in its usual
Speaker 6: spot behind the house, watching us.
Speaker 2: How long did this go on for, from the.
Speaker 6: Age of around four to nineteen?
Speaker 2: Wow? How many other people saw it besides your family.
Speaker 6: Friends, cousins, people visiting.
Speaker 2: Did you ever feel like it was malicious?
Speaker 6: Not really, I just felt like it was watching it
Speaker 6: was observing what I was doing. It almost felt like
Speaker 6: it was curious.
Speaker 2: Well, some of the stuff that's happened to you, I
Speaker 2: guess you must stand out.
Speaker 6: I guess. I guess because I'm I'm a draw to it,
Speaker 6: or you're giving it energy. Yeah, yeah, it's possible that
Speaker 6: that it's it's getting energy from me.
Speaker 2: Do you affect electronics at all?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, okay, I'm polarized different because I'm a lefty
Speaker 6: dad My dad, my dad was the same. He couldn't
Speaker 6: wear a watch because his body would would pull the battery,
Speaker 6: the electricity out of the battery and kill it.
Speaker 2: You think that's because you're left handed.
Speaker 6: It's it has to have something to do with that,
Speaker 6: or my dad's side of the family might be polarized different.
Speaker 6: We we like I was struck at nineteen. I was
Speaker 6: struck by lightning, of course you were. It was it
Speaker 6: was indirect. It was indirect helped it hit a in
Speaker 6: front of me, had arted off and struck me and
Speaker 6: blew me back twenty feet And I got up and
Speaker 6: I have a diamond scar on my rib where it entered,
Speaker 6: and the tip of my toe was blackened from it.
Speaker 2: Is it still black? Okay?
Speaker 6: It healed, It healed, but it was it was charred
Speaker 6: enough that I have a white scar at the tip
Speaker 6: of my toe, and I'm assuming that hurts very much.
Speaker 6: So uh so, I when electrical storms start to happen,
Speaker 6: I feel it. My whole body reacts to it, and
Speaker 6: I run for the hills because I don't want to
Speaker 6: get struck again.
Speaker 2: See, I affect electronics and have a lot of these
Speaker 2: same issues tho, though I've never directly been struck by lightning,
Speaker 2: but no one else in my family did. Oh, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was me having the Quindalidi
Speaker 2: awakening that started it or what.
Speaker 6: It's possible, possible having any weirdness can make you susceptible
Speaker 6: to electrical affecting electrical devices. It could be kinetic kinetic energy, Yeah,
Speaker 6: psychokinetic energy that way we give off that that attracts
Speaker 6: electricity to us. My wife's truck when we first got together,
Speaker 6: every time I touched that truck, a blue arc would
Speaker 6: hit me and shot me. Here.
Speaker 2: I've found certain cars are more susceptible to me than others. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I dated a girl for a while who also
Speaker 2: had massive amounts of DLINI and she would also affect electronics.
Speaker 2: And we at the time had a Volkswagen Rabbit was
Speaker 2: a rabbit. It wasn't a rabbit. It was just a Volkswagen.
Speaker 2: And anytime, like we got into a fight in the car,
Speaker 2: the car would just die. The power would just stop,
Speaker 2: but it still had like lights and everything else with
Speaker 2: the engine would just stop, and we'd ended up having
Speaker 2: it towed to my mechanic who would look at it
Speaker 2: be like, I can't find out. I can't figure out
Speaker 2: why this won't start. And then two or three days
Speaker 2: later it would just start on its own and be fine.
Speaker 6: The anger anger kind of kind of you drew all
Speaker 6: the energy out of the vehicle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, or gave it too much energy and it
Speaker 2: just like shut down overload. Yeah, And it took a
Speaker 2: few days to dissipate and then it was fine, which
Speaker 2: was great. There was no bill, but I mean still
Speaker 2: it was like, right now we're stranded. Okay, oh boy,
Speaker 2: we got to take a quick break. We'll be right
Speaker 2: back all right, mid show break. Here some contact info
Speaker 2: and a recommendation. Contact info as always Where did the
Speaker 2: Roadgo dot Com that takes you to everything Where did
Speaker 2: the Road Go? Related and everything related to me. You
Speaker 2: can click on the link tree and find links to
Speaker 2: all the other stuff I do, including my music show,
Speaker 2: The Last Exit for the Lost. Now, as for a recommendation,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with, Okay, this is a long one.
Speaker 2: If it's really hot out and really humid out and
Speaker 2: you decide, hey, I'm gonna go mow the lawn because
Speaker 2: it's evening and it's cool, that's generally a good decision.
Speaker 2: And then you go out and you do that, and
Speaker 2: you have a riding mower, so it's fine and it's warm,
Speaker 2: but it's tolerable, especially for someone who maybe doesn't like
Speaker 2: the sun. And as you get done, you think, well,
Speaker 2: I got to do a podcast in recording in about
Speaker 2: an hour, maybe an hour and a half. There's that
Speaker 2: tree that fell last winter, about forty feet tall, and
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of other things that you may have
Speaker 2: thrown there as well, and you decide spontaneously, now is
Speaker 2: when you're going to clean that up. So you get chainsaws,
Speaker 2: you start taking it all apart, You drag it across
Speaker 2: the yard and do all this heavy physical work, and
Speaker 2: you get done. You're thinking, ah, all right, I'm really
Speaker 2: hot and sweaty now because it's really humid, even though
Speaker 2: it's not feeling super hot, and you go inside and
Speaker 2: you're like, okay, great, I got fifteen minutes before I
Speaker 2: have to do this podcast recording. I'm gonna grab something
Speaker 2: eat because I really haven't eaten. And then you say, uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe uh. Being diabetic, you think, well,
Speaker 2: I should probably check my blood sugar too, and then
Speaker 2: you find out that your your blood sugar is very low,
Speaker 2: very low, and you didn't notice because you're so busy
Speaker 2: doing all this manual labor, and then you have to
Speaker 2: postpone said podcast temporarily to make sure you don't die.
Speaker 2: So my recommendation is to not do that in the future.
Speaker 2: It's a bad idea. And then you have to eat
Speaker 2: a bunch of sugar, which sounds great until you have
Speaker 2: to do it and it kind of sucks, and so
Speaker 2: you don't want to do that. So I don't recommend that.
Speaker 2: I basically recommend not doing those things. Like some of
Speaker 2: those things are fine, but not altogether. That's that's my recommendator.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a bonus recommendation. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: the keystone Hagstone Timothy Renner's latest book, Ferries and Other
Speaker 2: Mysterious Entities of Pennsylvania. Absolutely fantastic book, and he will
Speaker 2: be on to talk about it in a week or two.
Speaker 2: I don't remember exactly where it is. We already recorded it,
Speaker 2: and I believe it might be in three weeks. I
Speaker 2: guess it's in three weeks. Timothy Renner will be joining
Speaker 2: us and man, that first recommendation, I guess that was
Speaker 2: oddly specific, wasn't it. Huh, whonder where that came from?
Speaker 2: All right, back to the show. You're listening to Where
Speaker 2: the Road Go and I'm here with AJ from Parasortium?
Speaker 2: Is AJ right?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: All right? Like AJ style. That's my pnemonic, yep, and
Speaker 2: Parasortium for people who are interested, can be found where.
Speaker 6: We're on YouTube first, we have a website ww dot
Speaker 6: parasortium dot com. We have my Brains YouTube YouTube substack.
Speaker 6: We're on Apple, Spotify, eight other platforms including iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Nice okay? And how often do you put out episodes?
Speaker 6: As often as we can? It's kind of sporadic right now.
Speaker 6: The first four seasons we did runs of ten to
Speaker 6: fifteen episodes. We're sitting at from the eighty eighty seven
Speaker 6: episodes Mark and we run the gam But we can
Speaker 6: do magic one day, paranormal the next, history, folklore. We're
Speaker 6: kind of all over the place.
Speaker 2: I think that's the best way to go with this
Speaker 2: stuff because if you micro focus in on it. I
Speaker 2: mean not that that's not useful to some things, but
Speaker 2: I think understanding the way these things relate to one
Speaker 2: another is so important.
Speaker 6: It's true. Learning history, in particularly in ghost hunting, vitally
Speaker 6: important because if you go into a space and the
Speaker 6: lore of the place is that a witch is there,
Speaker 6: and you go into the history books and archives and
Speaker 6: they have no instance of that, but there's people that
Speaker 6: live there. When we go into to look for the ghost,
Speaker 6: We're not going to go in there looking for the witch, right,
Speaker 6: We're going to go in there looking for the people
Speaker 6: that were actually there. And a lot of ghost hunters
Speaker 6: nowadays follow just the lore of the surface low and
Speaker 6: they go in and they yell at the ghosts and
Speaker 6: want them to perform, and of course they're going to
Speaker 6: get what they ask for sure, they're going to get
Speaker 6: the bligerent person yelling at them to get out.
Speaker 2: Well, they're also putting negative energy into the air, so
Speaker 2: that's what it's going to get going to use. Is
Speaker 2: that negative energy?
Speaker 6: Yeah, So with all of the ghosts and that we've experienced,
Speaker 6: I've had ghosts here. I didn't think about this earlier.
Speaker 6: I was sitting at the bus stop again. It was
Speaker 6: it was around it was around like five five in
Speaker 6: the morning, and it was in uh in wintertime. I
Speaker 6: think it was in late January, and I was just
Speaker 6: sitting there, mind my own business, looking around, and I
Speaker 6: heard a model T horn and I looked around, and
Speaker 6: then I heard it again as it passed me, but
Speaker 6: there was nothing there. So I saw a ghost cart
Speaker 6: and then pastward. A year later, I'm sitting in the
Speaker 6: same spot and I see a young woman like college
Speaker 6: shears in converse jeans and UVic sweater and she's walking
Speaker 6: by and and I kind of followed her for a
Speaker 6: few seconds, and then I noticed she faded away, and
Speaker 6: so I kind of, Okay, that's weird. I see them
Speaker 6: all the time. It's fine. But the same one. I
Speaker 6: was at work again. This is like six o'clock in
Speaker 6: the morning. I was I was setting up everything doing receiving.
Speaker 6: So I was getting the back room set up so
Speaker 6: that I could get milk in and I heard a
Speaker 6: woman's scream like she was streaming bloody murder, like she
Speaker 6: was going to die, and so I ran out to
Speaker 6: see what was going on. Nothing was there. This happened
Speaker 6: like three times and put me behind. I was getting
Speaker 6: angry with it, and then I got back in and
Speaker 6: I was loading stock onto a deck to get it
Speaker 6: out of the way, and this image of a woman,
Speaker 6: it was kind of like a shadowed image of a woman.
Speaker 6: I could just see the fabric of the jeans and
Speaker 6: sweater that she was wearing previously, but she had no face.
Speaker 6: And I said, what do you want? What can I
Speaker 6: do for you? And when I said that, she faded away.
Speaker 6: Now a week later, I was looking up weird happenings
Speaker 6: in the area so that I could get stuff for
Speaker 6: a podcast, and I found a girl that looked very
Speaker 6: much like her, but it wasn't her, like she was
Speaker 6: from an earlier time, like in the seventies and this
Speaker 6: was more like eighties, but it looked like her. But
Speaker 6: I was kind of like, no, that's not her, But
Speaker 6: it's weird that she would be wearing the same sort
Speaker 6: of clothes. But it's just synchronicities like that happen around
Speaker 6: outs of having weirdness, and it's come to the point
Speaker 6: that we call it a phenomena ball. We'll have synchronicities
Speaker 6: build up and then a rash of experiences and then
Speaker 6: it'll die off, and then it'll do it again.
Speaker 2: And what do you make of it? Like, how do
Speaker 2: you take synchronous I take.
Speaker 6: Them as they come. Okay, they basically sometimes they have
Speaker 6: a meaning to something that I have to do to
Speaker 6: get further in what I'm doing, or it could just
Speaker 6: be part of an ongoing initiatory experience that we've been having.
Speaker 6: Because I stopped doing magic when I was fifteen, and
Speaker 6: then my wife opened the altar and we had things banging.
Speaker 6: Her wedding ring disappeared for two years, and then she
Speaker 6: was cleaning the altar and she heard something fall on
Speaker 6: the altar and it was a ring an appart, and
Speaker 6: it's just little things like that started happening more after
Speaker 6: she opened the altar, and then we both got back
Speaker 6: into magic together and I ended up channeling painting. And
Speaker 6: at that point I was checking my blood pressure regularly,
Speaker 6: and when I was in the middle of it, I
Speaker 6: tested my blood pressure and it was when seventy over
Speaker 6: one oh three that's super high, and my heart was pounding,
Speaker 6: and then I got to a point where I was
Speaker 6: getting very physically affected by it, and I said, what
Speaker 6: do you need from me? I need you to give
Speaker 6: it to me in a way that isn't going to
Speaker 6: hurt me. And then things started calming down. And then
Speaker 6: over the next few weeks, I created a spiral painting
Speaker 6: that is that is built on the Golden ratio and
Speaker 6: it is basically the connection of all things and it
Speaker 6: kind of shows in or outer universe as one so
Speaker 6: and I still don't fully understand it.
Speaker 2: You haven't posted anywhere.
Speaker 6: It's actually on Spotify. It's our our logo on it
Speaker 6: on there, but I can send you an image for
Speaker 6: you to put up. It's basically there's seven notes. Each
Speaker 6: one has like an element that's represented of it, and
Speaker 6: in the center is five pointed star the lotus in
Speaker 6: the center and again connections to spirit and the elements.
Speaker 6: And I've done other paintings since then that are I'll
Speaker 6: get the urge to paint something. But now this new
Speaker 6: project that I'm working on, I've had synchronousity after synchronosity,
Speaker 6: and people that I've talked to about it have synchronous
Speaker 6: these around it. It's an animation based on High Strange
Speaker 6: and so it's it's just Morgan the fourteen bookshelfs on Instagram.
Speaker 6: He had synchronosity about it when I talked to him
Speaker 6: about it and asked him to help me out because
Speaker 6: he does all things high Strangeness, so so we we
Speaker 6: were talking about that. He works with Steve burt On
Speaker 6: on his his show High Strange, High Strangeness, and like
Speaker 6: those synchronosities. And my wife has had synchronousitys since I
Speaker 6: started working on this project, So I think something wants
Speaker 6: it to be done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it sounds like.
Speaker 6: But I'm basing it on a person who came into
Speaker 6: my life through his girlfriend. This person is my doppelganger,
Speaker 6: his girlfriend. I was in high school. His girlfriend came
Speaker 6: running up to me because he lived in Toronto and
Speaker 6: I lived in Nova Scotia at that point, so she
Speaker 6: was like, what are you doing here? And and she
Speaker 6: she helped me and went to kiss me. I was like, ooh,
Speaker 6: I don't know you. So that that weird experience. I've
Speaker 6: turned that into this character named Alex. His name was Alex.
Speaker 2: So what you're working on is just fiction, but it's
Speaker 2: based on real thing.
Speaker 6: It's based on real things, and I'm going to put
Speaker 6: in as many real high strangeness air normal type things
Speaker 6: as I can, and at the end of each show,
Speaker 6: I'll have a list of resources for people to find
Speaker 6: these things.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 6: But the first thing is I have to do a
Speaker 6: full feature, and that's to get the money to be
Speaker 6: able to produce this on an ongoing basis, right, right,
Speaker 6: So the first I've come up with, because my usual
Speaker 6: thing is one to eleven, the initiatory thing. I'm going
Speaker 6: to make it for the audience an initiatory experience, so
Speaker 6: they will be initiated into high strangeness. Along with the
Speaker 6: character and how they explore it, I will give credible
Speaker 6: resources for them to explore.
Speaker 2: Nice. Yeah, that's very cool.
Speaker 6: Way of giving back to the community.
Speaker 2: Now, you said you also had a big footing count.
Speaker 6: Several Actually it started out with the miniature Bigfoot we
Speaker 6: were at here in Victoria. We have a place called
Speaker 6: Christmas Hill and it's basically a steep angled hill that
Speaker 6: you go up and it's basically the side of a mountain.
Speaker 6: You basically climate and you get to a point there's
Speaker 6: this little green, green area amongst the bedrock that they
Speaker 6: call the faery circle, and we were doing a tarot
Speaker 6: reading with our friends under a body tree and it's
Speaker 6: the type of tree that as it grows, the bark
Speaker 6: will peel off and then and then a new bark
Speaker 6: wool will form under it. So we were sitting by
Speaker 6: that tree and I noticed something peeking out at me
Speaker 6: and it was similar to our Domovic in height, but
Speaker 6: this one it was golden brown fur and it had
Speaker 6: like a blurry humanoid face. And my friend next meet
Speaker 6: saw it as well, but my wife with her back
Speaker 6: was to it, so she didn't really see it. She
Speaker 6: felt something was there, but didn't see anything. So we
Speaker 6: had that experience, and then we were doing our fall
Speaker 6: ritual on the top of the hill and I was
Speaker 6: looking from the peak down into that same area that
Speaker 6: we had the first to encounter, and it was about
Speaker 6: nine feet tall, again golden brown her. It was about
Speaker 6: nine feet tall, and it walked along that area and
Speaker 6: then down into the gully. But as it passed by
Speaker 6: the tree that the Bodi tree and past past a
Speaker 6: smaller tree that was on my side walking my view,
Speaker 6: it disappeared. It was like it it walked up to
Speaker 6: it and then disappeared. There was no continuance, and then
Speaker 6: some kids a few minutes later walked past, and I
Speaker 6: could see them going beyond the tree, so it wasn't
Speaker 6: like it went down into a gully. It just disappeared.
Speaker 6: And it kind of freaked me up because I was
Speaker 6: like cutting that big and those kids are there. I
Speaker 6: was freaked out. I didn't know where it was, and
Speaker 6: so I started yelling at them. My wife is, don't
Speaker 6: do that, You're gonna wear them out. But full time
Speaker 6: that same year, we're at our house and the apartment
Speaker 6: building that we live in. Our garbage cans are down
Speaker 6: the back steps and the light will turn off if
Speaker 6: someone's there. So I came out. The light was on,
Speaker 6: and I wasn't really paying attention until I get to
Speaker 6: the bottom and the steps, and then I heard something
Speaker 6: growl at me, and I looked up and there was
Speaker 6: this nine foot tall thing with blowing red eyes looking
Speaker 6: at me. And I have brain damage from when I
Speaker 6: was a kid, as I said, which I was gone
Speaker 6: when I was fourteen, So things that should scare me don't.
Speaker 6: I get angry and I will confront it. And so
Speaker 6: it growled at me and took a step towards me,
Speaker 6: trying of being aggressive, I think mostly to get rid
Speaker 6: of me. It was a messing around in the compost.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So.
Speaker 6: I get angry and he said, don't you drowl at me?
Speaker 6: And I walked towards it, and it kind of it
Speaker 6: was like, well, it was. It was full on Jeff
Speaker 6: moment where the little fitfied dog is yapping at the
Speaker 6: big dog, the big dog hours away from him. He
Speaker 6: did that and he ran off.
Speaker 2: Wow. It doesn't surprise me though.
Speaker 6: Honestly, Well, when you come at someone with confidence, even
Speaker 6: if they're being aggressive, and you come at them confidently,
Speaker 6: they're gonna be like, oh true, I mentioned for the
Speaker 6: wrong girl.
Speaker 4: A cast recommends.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 3: I'm Dan Snow, historian and host of Dan Snow's History podcast.
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about a brand new series
Speaker 3: I don't need to miss about the real history behind
Speaker 3: the Odyssey, with a major new Hollywood adaptation arriving this month,
Speaker 3: will trace Odysseus his epic journey across the Mediterranean, uncover
Speaker 3: the world of Myceny in Greece, and investigate the mysteries
Speaker 3: of Homer and what draws us back. This timeless masterpiece
Speaker 3: again and again. For everything you need to know about
Speaker 3: the Odyssey, check out Dan Snow's history hits wherever you
Speaker 3: get your podcasts.
Speaker 4: A cast powers the world's top podcast including.
Speaker 1: Off Menu, the Adam Buxton Podcast, and the show you're
Speaker 1: listening to right now.
Speaker 2: But even so, I don't think this stuff is trying
Speaker 2: to hurt us necessarily.
Speaker 6: No. I think it was more defending its food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it just.
Speaker 6: Didn't really want anything to do with me, just want
Speaker 6: me to leave.
Speaker 2: Would you consider how do you view these things? You
Speaker 2: think they're flesh and blood or do you think there's
Speaker 2: some kind of paranormal manifestation.
Speaker 6: I think they're faye, Okay, They're like a fake creature,
Speaker 6: something that both exists and doesn't right at the same time.
Speaker 6: It's other yeah, yeah. But the thing is I've had
Speaker 6: people have me on their shows and tried to say, oh,
Speaker 6: it's a demon right, or or it's it's a rush
Speaker 6: and blood creature that's gonna attack and hurt you. But
Speaker 6: the thing is the history of these things, if you
Speaker 6: trace it back. Indigenous belief in Bigfoot is that they
Speaker 6: were a shaman who chose to stay in nature. So
Speaker 6: and like susquatch. The impetus of that word is a
Speaker 6: white man took the word, mispronounced it, and misused it,
Speaker 6: and now it's everywhere.
Speaker 2: I didn't know it's good. I didn't know that it's it's.
Speaker 6: In it if you if you look at there's a
Speaker 6: few books I'll get there. Sarah does all all of
Speaker 6: the research and that for us, so she she'll be
Speaker 6: able to give you the book that that you found
Speaker 6: it in. But she's also studying indigenous culture and indigenous
Speaker 6: more in the area. And the word sasquatch is subsquich
Speaker 6: or subsquitch, and it comes from the Stolo language, which
Speaker 6: is the people of the Fraser Valley area and Vancouver Island.
Speaker 2: What does it actually mean.
Speaker 6: It's I don't remember exactly. I think it's something to
Speaker 6: do with the ceremony that people did to become shaman
Speaker 6: or become medicine people.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it really has nothing to do with with an
Speaker 2: like creature at.
Speaker 6: All, nothing at all. It's more of the wild man.
Speaker 6: It's because the original sasquatch or the original bigfoot, is
Speaker 6: the wild man, and the wild man had language and
Speaker 6: spoke and over time, our idea of it because people
Speaker 6: over time even with with aliens, they went from curious
Speaker 6: human looking people to black eyed praise.
Speaker 2: Well, there's officially five types to them, yeah, or something like.
Speaker 6: That, something like that. But the same with the bigfoot.
Speaker 6: There's many different versions of it. There's also dog man,
Speaker 6: which is another weirdness, and and they kind of fight
Speaker 6: each other as well, because in stories from the islands
Speaker 6: around here, dog man has fought sasquatch. Yes, it's like
Speaker 6: a rivalry. The dog man will will attack them, they'll
Speaker 6: attack the dog men. The dog men will attack coyotes
Speaker 6: and wolves in the area are our wolves are protected
Speaker 6: sea species that are the size of the coyote, but
Speaker 6: they subsist on seafood and sea life and are very
Speaker 6: creek curious and docile, and so the dog men will
Speaker 6: attack them and kill them. And there's been instances on Fraser.
Speaker 6: It's not Fraser the course, not of course. He the
Speaker 6: course is where we have our own l Ron Hubbert.
Speaker 6: I want to be a brother twelve. He was a
Speaker 6: magician back in the early nineteen hundreds. I'll talk about
Speaker 6: that another time.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was just going to ask you something, well,
Speaker 2: oh no, I was gonna say, like, as you're describing this.
Speaker 2: I can't help but feel like this is theater from
Speaker 2: the other like it's a performance that it's putting on
Speaker 2: to make us feel to think a certain way. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it could could just be we've put out this
Speaker 6: type of idea that monsters have to be scary, right,
Speaker 6: and so when we experienced something that our mind doesn't
Speaker 6: have an image or or an explanation for, it'll automatically,
Speaker 6: because our modern day ideology is one of your fight,
Speaker 6: fight or flight, it'll make it a monster. It's Thetis
Speaker 6: Lake up the way from us. Some kids were playing
Speaker 6: around at the at the lake and this lizard person
Speaker 6: came out of the lake and chase them and they
Speaker 6: ran away. But the locals all say, oh, it's a hoax.
Speaker 6: It was just, uh, these kids saw a big lizard.
Speaker 6: Someone had an iguana and they let it loose and
Speaker 6: blah blah blah, I guanta do swim, but they drew
Speaker 6: humanoid face. And this is after the monster of the Black.
Speaker 2: Lagoon and all of that, right, right, Yeah, So it
Speaker 2: now has something to base its existence its appearance off
Speaker 2: of exactly, or our brain has something to fill in
Speaker 2: the gap of not understanding what it's looking at.
Speaker 6: Exactly. And it's like Indigenous people when they first saw
Speaker 6: all ships, they thought they were canoes. They couldn't fathom,
Speaker 6: they didn't understand what it was, right, and some of
Speaker 6: them because it was so big and at the distance,
Speaker 6: it looked it looked like it was in the sky.
Speaker 6: And so you have the first UFO is a tall
Speaker 6: ship in the sky.
Speaker 2: All right, we're out of time for the main show.
Speaker 2: We continue this on our Patreon, but tell people one
Speaker 2: more time where they can find you and your.

Speaker 2: Okay, I want to spell that last one.
Speaker 6: It's m I S T E y R E Creations, Okay, right,
Speaker 6: and that's it's a creole work. It's what, it's a
Speaker 6: creole work. I mean the language creole. Oh okay, language creole.
Speaker 6: It's creole French. My family is French Canadian. But we
Speaker 6: went down to Louisiana, got picked out and went back

Speaker 2: pages or so, and hopefully if people like it, I

Speaker 2: But I also want it to be as good as
Speaker 2: it can be when it gets released. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: wanted to have it out May fifteenth, honestly, that was
Speaker 2: my goal. Now it's looking more like, you know, maybe August,
Speaker 2: but this summer almost certainly the book will finally come
Speaker 2: out all right to take you out. There's a I
Speaker 2: guess well, I'll tell this little story here. This song
Speaker 2: is from a band called Space Dust do u zzt.
Speaker 2: And when we did our anniversary show for the Last
Speaker 2: Eggs for the Lost this year, that the one that
Speaker 2: we did live. We use since COVID, we've only really
Speaker 2: done one a year live on the anniversary of the show.
Speaker 2: And it was a wacky show, as it gets to
Speaker 2: be sometimes. And at some point we mentioned twinkies, and
Speaker 2: in particular, my co host Seth, known as the Sloth,
Speaker 2: used to have a thing for twinkies. And then they
Speaker 2: stopped making twinkies and he didn't really his memory is
Speaker 2: so bad he didn't remember they stopped making twinkies. And
Speaker 2: then he realized he hadn't had a twinkie in a
Speaker 2: really long time, and he hadn't had probably hadn't had
Speaker 2: them since they started making them again. And we had
Speaker 2: these two listeners who uh showed up spontaneously with a
Speaker 2: bunch of twinkies like two o'clock in the morning. It
Speaker 2: was awesome, and uh, one of them, I think, and
Speaker 2: maybe both of them are in this band Space Dust,
Speaker 2: and I think it's mostly the vocalist, uh, it says
Speaker 2: these songs are written performed by me. Her name's nix
Speaker 2: A Bot and that's nyx b h A T T
Speaker 2: and it's nicksbot dot com if you want to check
Speaker 2: it out. The it's very mellow, it's very h I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what that. I don't really know how to
Speaker 2: describe it. But this song, in particular, storms, I kind
Speaker 2: of like. So I am going to play that for
Speaker 2: you and go check her stuff out. It's apparently at Spotify.
Speaker 2: These are it's on YouTube. It's uh, it doesn't have
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff written, but there's there's some songs
Speaker 2: out there, so if you like it, you might like
Speaker 2: her other stuff as well. And they were They were
Speaker 2: very cool and it made the show even more fun
Speaker 2: that they did that. So all right, that's it for
Speaker 2: me this week. I'll see you next time.
