Ep. 177: Star Blood Chronicles

[00:00:03] And I just turned around and I pulled ass out of there. I was done. I wasn't dealing with that. The hypocrisy of the cult is one of the things that turned me away the quickest. When I turned my headlights on, it turned and looked at us. And one of the things I remember the most were the eyes were glowing red.

[00:00:30] I see an orb of light. It is just circling these steps like it is waiting for me. I was just trying to tell them that he saw a UFO. They're basically like, what are you talking about? That's seven foot up on a tree peeking around it. And that's where I saw the top of the muzzle, nose and the eyes.

[00:00:58] As soon as I made eye contact with this thing, it felt like death. Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales. I'm your host, Brandon Wright. Tonight we're going to be joined by my guest that goes by the name of Dragon Paul. He recently started a podcast called Star Blood Chronicles. He reached out to me here recently after hearing me on the confessionals podcast with Tony Merkel. He wanted to come on here and talk about some of the lucid dreams and other things that he's had happen to him throughout his life.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. I'd like to take this time to welcome my guest tonight, Dragonpaw. Thanks for coming on here and talking to me. Hello. Good to meet you, Brandon. It's been one of those nights of trying to get things to cooperate.

[00:02:52] I didn't want to do that here, but hopefully it's working now. Yeah, the phone is reliable enough. I had to... We're about 45 minutes later than normal. A lot of weird things going on, but... Sometimes I think technology has a way of screwing up when you talk about things that might not want you to talk about them. Exactly what I was thinking. Would you like to let the audience know a little bit about yourself before we dive into...

[00:03:22] So my name is Esteban, but I go by Dragonpaw. I'm from California. And I lived a... Kind of a rough teenage adolescence as most people do. And now I've been opening up to spirituality more.

[00:03:46] And ever since then, I've started seeing things in meditation and in the sky. And like you and I talked about, we're a lucid dream sort of deal. Mm-hmm. Do you want me to just start with that? When did all this kind of start for you? Not even too long ago.

[00:04:13] I would say in the COVID era. Okay. Because that's when I really reached inward, like real meditation. At first I was doing like five minutes. And it was kind of weird for me, but I got really into it. And I started visualizing things in my mind's eye, right? Mm-hmm.

[00:04:39] And it's hard to tell what you're thinking or what is being given to you, I guess you can say. The very first thing when I was in really good meditation, it's hard to get into, to be honest. It's hard to get into this like area where you're real calm.

[00:05:03] And the very first thing I saw was what looked in my mind's eye, remember? A gray looking extraterrestrial. And it was holding out an infant child to me. No joke, no lie. That's what I saw in my very first deep meditation.

[00:05:31] You said it was like a, like the gray child looked like a smaller, because grays are typically smaller. Yes. So it looked, yeah, it looked like a gray was holding a baby. So it looked like a child-sized gray holding a baby baby out towards my mind's eye. And that broke me, that broke my concentration.

[00:05:57] And I was like, whoa, why would I think that? Or was it given to like, I don't know, but that was my very first. When I started going down the rabbit hole, that was the very first thing I saw. That'd be something that would definitely make me kind of question some stuff. Yeah. And it kind of made me jump back for a little while.

[00:06:27] Like, it actually took a lot of like me calming myself for weeks after just to sit down again. Because I was like, what the heck? Like, you laugh, you laugh, you laugh at something sometimes when you think of them. And then you're like, no, but then you get serious a little bit when you really think like, what was that? Right.

[00:06:52] And I heard, I heard your story, which was pretty awesome too, but we can talk about telling. So as I'm progressing in like, just doing a lot of self work, you know, like spirituality is what you're trying to be one with the universe or whatever.

[00:07:21] And so this one night, sometimes I fall asleep with my TV on, sometimes not, just depends. I think I slept with it on this night. So I'm in bed, I go to bed, I mean, I'm asleep, I guess.

[00:07:45] And I kind of open my eyes, like, you know, you're barely like, kind of like squinting. And my room has a blue hue with no lights on. And I'm talking it up to the TV. I'm thinking blue hue, whatever.

[00:08:13] As my eyes, well, I think my eyes are opening, as I'm kind of realizing what's going on. I feel the blanket kind of falling away from my body. Mm hmm.

[00:08:33] And the crazy part, the crazy part is, I look at the TV and it's on, it's like that static snow look that I haven't seen for a long time since on like old TVs, like from the 80s, 90s. And I don't, I never really see that on my LED TVs.

[00:09:02] And I'm just looking at it while the room's blue and I'm floating above my TV, which. There's to trip me out because. I know I'm. In my bed dead center. So why, why am I going higher than my TV? Hmm. And so as the blankets fall off of me, I'm looking and I'm getting closer to my ceiling. Okay. And you have to.

[00:09:31] I'm aware, but, but I don't know if I'm asleep or awake, but I'm aware what's like at this point. Uh, so I'm getting closer and all I remember. At that point was. Oh, this is gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt. Cause I'm getting close to the. Feeling. And. Everything, all the, everything in my vision just changes to the. To the two bars.

[00:10:01] I have a really like. Shallow ceiling. And then. Boom. I popped out of my ceiling. And I'm above. The roof of my little studio. And I'm in midair. It feels like I'm just dangling. And I look up. And I see nothing. It's a. I mean, I see stars. But there's nothing there. And that's.

[00:10:30] What trips me out. Seeing. Nothing. But I'm being pulled up. I see the stars. I see my backyard. And then boom. I'm awake. It's morning. And my TV is off. That. That's crazy. This is not the first time I've heard something like that. I interviewed. A gentleman. From England.

[00:11:01] Back in the spring. And he was talking about. One of the things that he remembered. And I'm pretty sure he said he went through the wall. He remembers. The wall. And then he remembers like. The boards behind the wall. And then going through all that stuff. And I interviewed someone else before. And they've talked about the same thing. Like they remember going through. It's not like it opens up. And they drive. Like they've literally like. I don't want to say. Dematerialize.

[00:11:29] But basically they just morphed through everything. Like. Like they vibrated. Like their frequencies or vibrations change. Yeah. Going right through it. Yeah. And it was. It felt so seamless. Like there. Like there was. No. There was no change. Of. I don't know. Threshold. There was. It was just like. Like if it wasn't there. That's.

[00:11:59] And. Very interesting. For sure. And I. The more I think about that. That. That experience. I'm like. I never really experienced. Missing time. But. Extraterrestrials are probably so smart. That's why they do it. In a time where you're. Like unconscious. Like. So how would you know the difference. Between missing time. If you think you slept. Yeah.

[00:12:28] No one would really know if you're sleeping. And a lot of the times. We dream about weird. Things. Yeah. So. Are they actually dreamy? Totally set up. It's totally perfectly. Set up the way they want. Especially. Now that you know. That they. Give you screen memories. Some people say. In the UFO world. That was. That was. It was not. I don't want to say traumatic.

[00:12:59] But it. It. I really. Really. Got. Deeper. Into. UFO. UFO. Yeah. UFO. And. Just being. More. Spiritual. And. Like. My meditations. Have been. Even. Crazier than that. Lately. But. That's just one of my. It's interesting to me. Like. The spiritual. Aspect to it.

[00:13:29] Because a lot of people. Tend to. Go that route. Like. You think that. These beings from another. Planet. Another dimension. Whatever you want to call them. Are here. And then people. Yeah. Get more of a spiritual. Aspect to it. Because you're leaving your body. So. Is your. Is it. Your spirit. That's leaving your body. Or are they taking your whole body. Because this is what I have always thought was strange. Like. Sometimes when people are abducted. They have markings in their bodies. Or they have things in their body. So it's like.

[00:13:58] Sometimes the body goes. And then sometimes they're taking. The consciousness goes. So is it the same type of beings. Or is there something different. A lot more questions. When you start going down the rabbit hole. You don't find the answer. You start asking more questions. Yeah. And there's so many. Options. To that question too. Because then you have. Astral projections. Then you have. What's. What's kind of similar. But not similar. Then you have. Out of body experiences.

[00:14:28] Which I think there's a difference. Between astral. And out of body. I think out of body. Has more to do with. Like. You know when you go on sleep paralysis. Yeah. I think that's a fool. Like. Your body. Out. Like your. Your spirit's out. And like you said. Consciousness. I think that's more of the astral. Glad. How do you feel on those.

[00:14:58] I don't know. If I've done either one. So it's hard for me to make a. Accurate. Yeah. And then I have weird dreams. Or I feel like I'm doing things that. When I wake up. And then. There's things that have happened to me. During that day. That happened to me in that dream. So it's kind of strange. But. Those synchronicities. Start to. Develop. Dude. I feel you on that. I had a dream back in the summertime. I think I've mentioned it. Already before.

[00:15:28] But. The whole. Basis of the dream was strange in general. But. The basis that I remember. Is my nose started bleeding. Because I got thrown against a wall. And. Later that afternoon. My nose started bleeding out of the same nostril. When I was at work. So. Why did I have a dream. That there's a storm coming. And threw me into the wall. And then later. I'm just sitting in my office. And my nose starts bleeding. So. I can't explain that one.

[00:16:00] And just like I told you. I wasn't. I wasn't BSing you. In the. In the email. In the email. I had a dream. Two weeks. Before. We changed the timing. For this interview. That it was going to go. That it was going to go. In the next year. And I was like. I just. I just smiled. And said yeah bro. On the email team. Yeah. That is a. That's a weird one. Normally I don't ever try and reschedule. But. This month has been weird. Because.

[00:16:31] We didn't have. Everything mapped out already. Because usually. I'm booked out. A couple months ahead. Oh. So. I see. And. With plans of everything going on. Monday. Monday. Was the only time that. We were able to do Christmas. With my wife's family. And then. I have an interview. In a couple weeks. And I'm going to have to try and switch around. Because it ended up being. There's actually two of them.

[00:16:59] My son plays basketball. And the schedule for his games. Were released. After I had everything scheduled. So now they don't line up. Oh wow. So I have to try and reschedule. To get around his games. I. I try and work around everything. But. Sometimes they add games. Or sometimes they did things. That I wasn't aware of. So. So. I didn't tell you this. But. I'm up and coming. Up and coming. Podcaster. I'm trying to learn. And. I don't even.

[00:17:30] I don't even know how you fit in. Time. With. With having a kid and stuff. And I don't. I don't have kids. And it's. It's freaking. Tedious. Sometimes. With the. With the work. And the research. It's pretty crazy. It is very time consuming. And to be a hundred percent honest. Yeah. I don't know. Looking back. Back now. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say. I wouldn't do it. But. Yeah.

[00:18:00] It's weird for me. To be where I'm at now. To see how much the show has grown. I never expected it to be what it is. So. That's exactly when I. Yeah. When I heard you. To tell your story. I was like. That's the exact reason why I'm doing this right now. Right. Yeah. Like. I. I never had anyone to talk to about it. It was. I was just getting shut down. Trying to tell people all the stuff I was experiencing. I have. I have other experiences. I even have two.

[00:18:30] I have two. Daytime. Captures. Of UAP. Which I could send to you. Somehow. Hopefully. And it's like. It builds up in you. And I don't know. I didn't know where else to go. So I just started. A podcast. On Spotify. I've noticed. There's been a. Huge uptick. In podcasting. Since 2020. And I'm guilty of it too. But. For me.

[00:19:00] Do you think that's just because. There's more sighting? That's what I was going to say is. I know everyone had a lot of free time. Because no one could go to work. But. I think that was almost like a great awakening. For a lot of people. At least for what I. Especially in the tinfoil hat type of. Conspiracy. Yeah. There's a lot more people. It was like. Questioning things. And not believing.

[00:19:29] Everything that's being told to them. It was like another awakening. Of. Like. An awakening of misinformation. That too. Yeah. This is what's. For me. Because. I'm a very. Conspiracy minded person. But at the same time. I think a lot of people. That are putting conspiracies. Out there. Are just doing it. For the glory of it. They're not actually caring. If this. Right.

[00:19:58] They just want to be the first one. To throw something out there. And a lot of the stuff. That they're throwing out there. Doesn't make any sort of sense. And it's not even real. And what they do. Is they just. Combine. The conglomerate of. Everyone's opinion. And it makes it even worse. Like. Okay. Like. Stick to the facts. If you're going to do that. But. Did you ever. Well. I know you did. You questioned what you saw. That night.

[00:20:27] And I still question the stuff. That I see. And I. I've seen them in the daytime bro. There is a lot of stuff. Out there that. That. I don't think anyone really knows. A hundred percent. What it is. So. Exactly. For me. I still struggle today. With it. Because. In my opinion. The way I'm wired. And programmed.

[00:20:58] I look towards science. And what I'd seen. Doesn't make any sort of. Logical. Scientific sense. So. I can't explain that. Now when I see things. Out in the sky. Because I've seen some weird. Orbs and stuff around here. I'm always wondering if. I'm also by an old. Air force base. So for me. Oh. It's hard to say. What something is. Even though it's not an active. Base anymore. Doesn't mean.

[00:21:27] They don't do stuff out there. Because. Perfect place to do it. It's not active. So no one's going to think about it. But. Again. That's that conspiracy brain of me. I don't have to have that. I mean. Why wouldn't you question. I say to everyone. Question everything. Just because. And believe nothing. That is the way to be. I don't want to say. I don't believe people.

[00:21:57] But for the most part. I got to keep some sort of. Skepticism. Just keep myself grounded. Yeah. And even. Even. What I've seen. And I hear stories. I'm like. Are you serious? But then I'm like. It is what it is. If they. That's what they saw. You can't really tell anyone anything. That's how I feel about a lot of things. And I. I get ridiculed a lot by people. Or like. I don't question a whole lot of stuff. That people go on the show and say.

[00:22:26] Because. That's not what I'm here for. I'm not trying to prove or disprove anybody. So. I'll get. Right. Hateful comments. Here and there. On Spotify. Or Apple. Or YouTube channel. Or something like that. Wherever people can actually say something. I get some. Nice compliments here and there. And then a lot of the time. I get. People want to. Tell me how I should be doing my podcast. Yeah. I'm like. Hey.

[00:22:56] If you're listening. Cool. If you don't like it. Don't listen. If you think. Yeah. You weren't there. If you think you can do a better job. Start your own podcast. And that's. What they should be doing. Before they be talking. I try not. But I do. The trolls. So. That's true. That's another thing dude. That like. Let it just be. And that's how I put out my.

[00:23:26] My stuff. And I just. Like. I don't care. How do you take it bro? What is the name of your podcast? Star Blood Chronicles. Star Blood Chronicles. Yeah. Like a star. Yeah. In the blood. And then Chronicles. Because I was inspired by. Bigfoot Chronicles. That was like the very first thing I've ever. Started listening to.

[00:23:56] Sasquatch Chronicles. With what? With Wes Germer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wes. Yeah. I haven't listened to those in so long. Because there's so many other ones that are good too. Right now. But. He was the first one that I listened to. I was actually. Oh sweet. How are you? I was actually on his show over a year ago. He was one of the first podcasts I went on. He's a chill dude he seems like. Yeah. He's pretty cool. Yeah. That's what's up.

[00:24:26] So I was gonna. I was gonna. Let you know that I have an experience. Seeing a triangle craft. Right over me. And I have. You know. What do they call. Divine intervention experience. That happened in a car accident. Huh. Yeah. You can dive into that. Yeah. The car accident? You can both of them. Okay. Cool. Which everyone you want to talk about first.

[00:24:56] Just making sure how much time you got. Not working. Okay. Since we're on. Since we're on. UFOs. So I was meditating. That's how. A lot of my stuff starts. Uh. I was outside. And under the night sky this time. Not in my. Not in my room. And. So.

[00:25:27] I live. In between. Two. Huge bodies of water. Uh. The Pacific Ocean. And then. We have a huge lake. Kachuma Lake. You probably. Haven't heard of that lake. I don't. I'm here. So anyway. I'm looking towards.

[00:25:57] Oh. It's hard to. I'm looking towards the mountains. I have. I have the ocean behind me. I'm in a lawn chair. Looking up. I'm sitting there. Meditating. Eyes are closed. I think it was in the summer of. It was after COVID. Yeah. It's a little bit like. It looked like the. 2021. 2022. 2022. And I was. Looking up.

[00:26:30] Meditating with my eyes closed. First. And then I would open my eyes. From now on. Every once in a while. Just to see if I. Caught a little star moving. Because usually that's. What I see. Is. Are going like. Freaking. Lasers. And then. So I'm. I'm. I'm looking up. I open my eyes. I close them. And I just. Feel like. Like everything went silent. Around me almost.

[00:27:00] Like not even the wind. Is blowing. And I look up. I see three. Perfect. Light. In the shape of. What I call. A Dorito. A big. Triangle. Right over me. And I'm. Like kind of. Cut off guard. Because I was not. I would say. It was pretty huge.

[00:27:28] From my vantage point. It was kind of close. And what happens. As it comes. From behind. Me. Is it's right. There above my face. And the. Freaking. Three lights. Turn off. And that. When I get up. And I say. Nope. And I went into my room.

[00:27:58] And that was. I tried to brave it out. Bro. But in my mind. I was thinking. I don't know. If it's a friendly or not. Or a governmental thing. And. Even right now. My heart's pumping. Remembering how. I just took off. What I kind of wonder about. These craft. I feel like. If these things are coming from.

[00:28:28] A different. Planet. Like from outer space. Or whatever. Whatever. I don't think they're going to abide by. The light rule. That we have set in place here. By the FAA. I see a lot of people. Reporting like. Drones. And UFOs. And stuff. And they have like. Red and green flashing lights. Like well that's. What they have to have to be. Yeah. Flying here. Legally. So. I don't think the aliens are coming down. And making sure they're within the right.

[00:28:58] I don't think they care about that stuff. Stuff. So. I don't think they do. So when someone has lights. Or whatever. I'm like. I don't see aliens come down here needing lights. So when anything has lights to it. I kind of think it's more or less. Probably us. Right. And what's funny though. Is they weren't colored. They just look like. Perfectly moving stars. Blacked out. Within the triangle. Mm-hmm. Three. There's three dots.

[00:29:28] And it just looks like a big Dorito. Coming in. It's open. But when it turned its lights out. I didn't know what to expect. I wonder if. Sometimes when people see the lights. I wonder if it's not like their propulsion. Like if that's what they use to. Move their craft. Like that's their energy source. Like we see the light. Because sometimes like with airplanes. You obviously see like. Oh yeah. Like fumes. Yeah.

[00:29:58] So I'm wondering if like. That's just how they use the energy. And we just see the glowing of that. What someone. What someone told me. After I explained this to them. They believe in extraterrestrials. Too. They were thinking that. Because it was a triangle. And that it looked like the lights went out. They. They. Surmised that. The point. Like.

[00:30:26] As if it rose up straight. Like a rocket. And that to me. It looked like the lights went out. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like if it just shot up straight. Like a freaking dagger. I was like. Maybe. But I wasn't going to sit there. And let it. Do something. That I don't know. What it was going to. And who knows. What if it did. And I just don't even know. You know. Right. It's weird. When you see things.

[00:30:56] Because your mind questions. What you're seeing. And then. Especially. When it comes to UFOs. And stuff. Because you've heard the. The abductions. And the missing time. And you don't really know. What's going on afterwards. So you never really know. Like did you really see that. What happened to me afterwards. Yeah. And I didn't. I even checked the clock. And there was no missing time. In that instance. I think they were just like. Oh shoot. He got up. Or who knows. You know. That. That was the closest.

[00:31:27] That a craft has been to me. Even in the two videos I have. They're a little bit further out. One looks like a chick test. And then one is over the Pacific Ocean. Looks like a freaking. I don't know. Some people think blimp. But. That's what you want to say. When you see something. You can't. Can't explain. Explain. I've got video. That someone had sent me back. In the summertime. For my own area.

[00:31:57] I've got video. That was. Posted up from. Years back. I think it was in 2010. And then just recently. In October. We had a bunch of sightings. Around here. And then obviously. Within the last month or so. There's been. Drone sightings. Everywhere. So. It's kind of like. What does everyone see? Well all of a sudden. All the drone stuff is gone. Now everyone's talking about fog.

[00:32:28] Yeah. I saw that actually. On the world news. It was like. This is dense. Fog. In the east coast. I was like. Yeah. There's a bunch of fog. Going on. A lot of people. Claims it smells like chemicals. Which. I think. It was last summer. Around. I actually could. Tell too. We had a weird fog. More like a haze. And it smelled like burnt plastic. And they claim it was because of Canada. Canada had forest fires. Like well. What do they have? Fake trees?

[00:32:57] Because why would it smell like burnt plastic? Yeah. But that was the excuse. That we got. From all the. Hazy sky. And the weird smell. Was. They blame Canada. And we've been having. Starlink stuff. Over here. I don't know. If you guys have. Air Force bases. Just shooting. Freaking rockets. And. Rattling your house. Every weekend. No.

[00:33:27] That's what's going on over here. Vandenberg. Air Force base. And they don't even. Like they'll. They. I think they announced it. On their website. Which no one. Follows. But people probably do now. Because it's been so consistent. Now. Just. Boom. Just rattling doors. And shit. I don't know. If you can. Bleep that out. I don't. Anything. So. Okay. My. My show is rated. Like a. Explicit. So people cuss on it. And it's whatever.

[00:33:58] No. That's true. I don't. If someone. Naturally. Speaks a certain way. I'd rather it be authentic. Than trying to keep everything. Yeah. PG rated. Because there's a lot of topics. That we talk about. That aren't PG. Yeah. Well just so you know. I didn't actually say. Nope. When I ran away from the time. Okay. Yeah. That was. That was. That was. Pretty creepy.

[00:34:28] No. I. I. I. For my show. Or whatever. And again. I would rather things be. Natural. So I don't do a whole lot of editing. I don't. Bleep stuff out. I don't cut stuff out. The only time I might cut something out. There's certain words that. Get said. Or like trigger. Yeah. Trigger words. Yeah. That gets my. You get flagged. I get flagged and banned on. Certain platforms.

[00:34:58] So I got to remove certain words. But. That's cool. I mean not cool. But like. You go to rumble. Because I heard that you could do whatever on rumble. I have a rumble. But. There's not really any. I'm more of a. Traffic. Yeah. I'm more of a person that does audio. So for me. I don't. Like YouTube and rumble. And the video portion things. I don't do a whole lot of that. So. Yeah. That. It's more audio.

[00:35:28] Like Apple. Spotify. All that stuff. If you check out my Spotify. Don't make fun of me bro. But. I was learning the whole. I. I only started it this year. And it's. It's rough. But. We all can start somewhere. I hate all my early stuff. But without it. You wouldn't be where you are. So that's cool. We all start somewhere. That is. Okay.

[00:35:58] The one thing that I can say. And I haven't said it. I don't think. On an episode. So by the time this airs. It's going to be. A while. But. This pod. My show has grown. To the point. To where I'm now. I registered business. Which. Oh. That's awesome. I had to go get a. I'm a. LL. See or whatever. Yeah. LL. See. Because. I have to pay taxes. And other things. So we need. I said. You know what. If I got to pay taxes. On the podcast.

[00:36:27] I'm going to turn it into a business. And then anytime I need to upgrade equipment. And everything else. I'm going to use it as tax write-offs. So. Yeah. Everything. They. You can't do nothing bro. It's always. They always want their cut. Any money that I make from this show. Goes right back into this. And I have. A barn that I can. That's not a shit. To a studio. And. I have to pay monthly payments for that. So any money that I've made. Goes back into that. So I don't have profit.

[00:36:57] But yeah. I got to pay taxes. It'll work out though. You'll. I mean. That's cool. I only have a microphone though. That's awesome. I was lucky to have recording stuff. Because I used to do music. So I already had a lot of stuff. Oh no. No way. What are you playing? I was a death metal vocalist. Yeah. No wonder you got that raspy voice.

[00:37:27] That's what everyone's doing. I have a radio voice. I was like. I have a radio face too. My dad is a bass player. So I was around. Music too. Yeah. I done bass. It was more. It was more. Like Spanish. Mexican rock. I did bands for almost 15 or 20 years. Maybe I was in high school. When we stopped during 2020. I haven't done anything since then. And I decided to start a podcast. 2022.

[00:37:59] Yeah. I kind of see it as like a little. Like a new way of journaling for me. Because I write down. Almost everything that comes to my mind. And now. Now the podcasting. Like a more interactive way to do that. I love it. Yeah. Do you talk with other people on your show? Or you just. So. Okay. That's a good question. So. I. Retell. Stories. Only because. The people.

[00:38:30] That have been brave enough. To give me their stories. Don't want to be on. Camera. Mm-hmm. And. I know you already had said that. And I was like. Oh yeah. He knows. Here's the. So I. The thing. Yeah. Interviewing people. And. For anyone out there listening. I'm sure you're aware of this too. But. I book a lot of stuff. Because I'm.

[00:38:59] Expecting people to not show up. For their interview. So. And then when that happens. And I'm. I get way far ahead. But. When I first started the show. I recorded a couple episodes. So I was ahead a little bit. And I was worried about finding guests. And then I started getting people saying. Oh I'll be on your show. And then they didn't show up. For their zoom meeting. So then I was getting desperate. Oh I got to find people. Got to find people. So I stayed ahead. With fear. Because I kept getting ghosted by people.

[00:39:28] And it's still. Yeah. It still happens today. At least once or twice. A month. Someone doesn't. Pop up. Or they cancel. I actually just had an email today. From someone canceling an interview. So. If someone wants to. Cancel. Because something comes up. And they're like. Hey. Can we reschedule? Sure. But if someone says. Hey. I got to cancel. And then they don't ask. If they want to reschedule. I'm like. Well you didn't want to be on the show. Then. Because if you don't want to reschedule. Then you don't really care. Yeah. And.

[00:39:58] Some of those. Some. Some sightings. I understand. Can be. Like. Dramatic to bring up. Like. Very. Especially. Like. Yours. I don't even know. How you're still standing. But. You're still. To be 100% honest. Like. That doesn't. Bother me. And. The more I see things too. I'm feeling like. Like. I'm used to it. But that's pretty cool.

[00:40:27] That you can say that. I'm actually. Like. You saw me on the confessionals. I'm pretty sure. Wasn't it? And. Correct. I'm actually. Doing a documentary. About this area. area. So. I started. Filming stuff. I've got locations. Since. That episode aired. I've been contacted. By several people. From this local area. And.

[00:40:57] Strangely enough. Someone. Told me. That. In the same spot. That I was. They used to work. In that area. And they also had. Seen something. At one point. And then. I've been. Other people. So. There's so many. Reported sightings. Of just. The same. Similar thing. As well. As other stuff. There's been like. Bigfoot sightings. I've got. People have sent me. Pictures of Bigfoot tracks. I've got people. That have sent me. Tracks from giant. Wolf looking. Footprints. That were bipedal.

[00:41:26] I've got all sorts. Of weird things. Sent to me now. So. I've started. Filming this documentary. And here. In a week or two. We have. I've rented out. The library. And I'm having. In-person interviews there. With other witnesses. And then me. Oh dude. That's cool. Then me and my buddy. Are going to get the locations. Mapped out. And we're actually. Going to go out there. And do investigations. For this documentary. So for me. That's awesome. I'm not afraid. Of going back out there. And looking for. Because I want to find answers.

[00:41:56] A lot of people. Claim like. Oh. I'm terrified. I would never go out there. I can't believe you'd do something like that. I was like. I don't care. At this point. I need to know. Like if. Something's out there. And it's growling at me. I'm not going to run away. I'm going to run towards it. It might be the last thing I ever do. But I'm at least. Yeah. I'm going to at least know what I saw. Yeah. Just carry a couple of. AK-47. No. I'm just kidding. I asked my buddy. That's doing this with me. I was like. Would you feel safer. If I was packing.

[00:42:26] And he said. Well. If it's. Ghost. It's not going to do anything. And if these things are actually real. It's just going to piss it off. I was like. Yeah. That's true. Correct. Correct. That's the same. So. So my podcast is kind of. More on the spiritual side. And I do. Explain. How. Sage. Sage is not even. What you think it is. That actually pisses things off. It puts them to sleep. And so like in movies. When you see.

[00:42:55] The activity ramp up. It's because. It's mad at you. That's not how you get rid of. Entities. That's how you get rid of. Energy. It's. It's a whole thing. There is a difference between energy and entities. Like they feed on energy. So you're taking away its food source. So you're taking away. So it has to die down for a little bit. But then when it comes back. It's pissed off. Because you take away its food source. Yeah. So I kind of do a little bit of like. Protection.

[00:43:25] Like people who really go. Like I had a. I had a kid. Who gave me a. A shadow person story. And so I gave him advice on how to. Protect himself. At least because no one believes him either. So these. These things really do like. There's. People are seeing stuff. So. I kind of try to help. Give people some sort of. Boundary where they can work with. Instead of them just living in fear. You know.

[00:43:56] That's. That's. That's kind of my reason for it. We're doing what I'm doing now. I think anyone that. All right. Other people are. Doing something nice. Doing something good in the world. There's a lot of people out there doing a lot of. Dumb shit. So. It's good to try and at least be helpful. True. True that. But the dumb shit gets all the views. It does. It does.

[00:44:26] All right. Oh. Okay. This one is really. This experience happened to me in. Summer. Of. The year 2000. I. The doctors said. I should have died. But. A psychic. I don't. You can. If you're into woo woo. Then you're going to like this. But. A psychic told me. Otherwise.

[00:44:56] So I'll start with. My car accident. It was a truck accident actually. So. In the summer. 2000. My. We had a couple of friends. Going to the military. And. I was a party guy. So I said. Let's have a party in my parents little garage. We get. Really hammered.

[00:45:27] And. We run out of beer. I guess. I was so hammered. I don't know. But. I was the host of this party. I didn't even have to go to the store. But. It was meant to happen. I guess. So. Me. So. You know. A. 250 truck. Looks like. Yep. Looks like a truck. I have an F-150.

[00:45:58] Okay. So this dude had a brand new F-250. I. Remember. 250. So. There's a driver. There's me. The shortest guy in the middle. Of course. Then you got. The guy. In the passenger. And then. One of my friends. Jumps. In the freaking bed. Of the truck. You're. We're. We're all pretty.

[00:46:28] Wasted. Driving to the. To the liquor store. And as we pull. In. To the parking lot. Another car honks. Right out of. As it's. I don't know if the driver. Did something dumb. Probably. But. After. After they. Sped off. He turns around. And starts. To chase this car.

[00:47:00] The. This car starts. Its way up the mountain. The very dark. Mountain. Terrain. And we're right behind it. Right behind it. Chasing it. Chasing it. We're all. Like getting. Pumped up. And. Ready to do something stupid. Then. All I remember. Is seeing that. Huge. Sea mat. Turn. That says.

[00:47:31] With a little. Yellow sign. 50 miles per hour. And we're probably going. Maybe. 40 to 50. I can't really tell you that. But. So. Right before. I see that. This car. Park. Park. And we park. And we get out. Because we had. Somehow. This.

[00:48:00] Drunk driver guy. Of our friends. Had gotten. In front of them. Like cut them off. We all get out. To do. Who knows what. And the doors. They leave wide open. In the truck. This car. These people are so scared. They maneuver around the truck. And take out. The driver side. Brand new door. Like. It's gone. And they're gone. And then we're all.

[00:48:30] In the car. Chasing them. And no more than like. Not even. Five minutes. Is when I see that wall. And we're gone. I'm blacked out. I black out. We flip over. And down. The mountain. It's not too. Maybe 15 feet down. But we're rolling in a. Beating truck. And so this.

[00:49:00] Dude's door is missing. So he's nowhere to be found. I'm. Stuck under. The truck. Is on my. Head. When I come to. I'm stuck under the truck. I'm bleeding. You smell the gas. I see the smoke. I see trees. I hear. The driver screaming. Somewhere because. He didn't have a seatbelt. Or a door.

[00:49:29] So he's somewhere else. Yelling. The only dude that. Is there. Is the passenger. Because he had a seatbelt on. And I'm looking up at him. And he's like. Oh shit. He's like hanging down. And I'm like. Lift it up. Lift it up. Like telling him. Like I think I could get out. He unpopped his. Feetbelt.

[00:49:59] Falled down. That kind of hurt. But. I have so much adrenaline. And alcohol. I'm just. Trying to get out. And he does. He starts to try to lift. The truck. It's. The F-250. He's just like. Listening. And I can feel my. Ear. Is like. Rip. Like it's gone. And it's all blood. And it's. Glasses. Everything is. Metal. Stuck to my face.

[00:50:29] Out of nowhere. He sees light. And I kind of see it. In the tree. And he takes off. And I'm freaking out. I think he left me. I'm like. Yelling his name. Come back. I'm just yelling curse words. Like come back. And then. I'm just there. I'm just alone. Like. Am I. Am I. Dying. Or am I. Not.

[00:51:00] And then he. Comes back. And says. That was a car. That went. That made a call. To the ambulance. And whatever. And they'll be on their way. So. I'm still under the truck. They come. Fire truck. They don't have the jaws of life. But they have that like. Cable. Rebar. Yeah. I don't know what you call that. I know what you mean. They have to. Repel it down to. One of their guys.

[00:51:30] To wrap it. Around some part of the truck. And that's. How they lift it off. Of my freaking head. And. My ear is gone. It's. It's on my shoulder. My right ear. Ripped to shred. My whole. My whole head is ripped to shred. But I'm conscious. The whole time. Like what. Like. Like just looking at everything. So I'm in the hospital. And whatever.

[00:52:00] And. My head is like the size of a pancake. My family. They all see me. The doctors. Tell me that. He has no idea how I survived. But I was. I was lucky. Now. From that moment. We're going to fast forward. To 2024. February. Which is where my birthday lands.

[00:52:31] And I. I get a. Psychic reading. For like 20 minutes. 20 minutes only. She goes through the. Regular stuff. That I understand. By the way. Nothing she's telling me. Has anything to do with. Past loved ones. It's all like. Interdimensional stuff. And I'm just like. I'm just tripping. But. I've always wondered. From that day. To 2024. I.

[00:53:00] I was wondering if I had a. Near death experience. I was like. I. I probably died. And someone else. Came into my body. And so that was one of the main questions. I asked her. I was like. Did I die that day? What happened? Because I don't know. Why I'm alive right now. And she says. Oh. Let me ask. And she asked. Whoever her guides. They tell her.

[00:53:29] Angel. Came down. And. Or. However they. Come into existence. And she's seen. Them. Put a bubble. Shoulder. That she said. That I did not lead her on. At all. Into that. Into. Like. Where I was injured. And I flipped out. And I was. I asked her. Can I get a name?

[00:53:59] And she says. Yeah. Hold on. Very nonchalant. By the way. She says. Aniel. I said. What? She's all yeah. She's your prime protector. Aniel. And. When I hung up that phone. My. I had to make an episode of. My car accident. It was. It was. Just.

[00:54:31] It makes me a little emotional. Because. You live. You live in a life. And you think that. There's no one. That cares about you. Or. And then. It makes my spirituality journey. So much more. Deeper. Than it ever would have been. How many years ago? And I looked at it. 2000. So. 24. Almost 25 years ago.

[00:55:02] Yeah. How old would you have been when that happened? That. High school. My friends were going to go to the military. Okay. And I wasn't. I was a. I was a drop. So you and I are about the same age. Yeah. Probably. I'll be 41. Well. What year were you? Yeah. We are the same age. That's crazy.

[00:55:31] I'll be 41 here in like a month. Dude. My birthday won't go February. February 22nd. No way. Mine's 27th. My daughter is a 26th. That's so cool. And then my. Stepson. He is on Valentine's Day. Dude. There's something about. February.

[00:56:03] But I mean. That. That changed a lot of the way I think about like. I'm not. I was born Catholic. Like definitely indoctrined in that. But. The more spiritual I got. The more I just. Stayed like neutral. I don't really like. Hold on to that. But just to hear that. That that could have been a possibility. She probably. She could have made it up. But. It just. Made a. Makes a lot of sense. It resonates.

[00:56:35] I'm very. Iffy on. Certain type of psychics. I'm not saying that they're not real. But. Yeah. I've had a few that have come up to me. In the last few months. And some of the things that they tell me. I don't know if they're fishing for me. To respond to them a certain way. So they can keep digging for more and more answers. To see like. If they can. I don't want to say.

[00:57:05] Yeah. It's like they're. Fishing for true. So they can continue to go on with their grift. But that's how I kind of feel. Sometimes. But then. Most of the charlatan do that. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm very. I guess protective. Of certain things. I don't say a whole lot. When it comes to certain things. I might talk a little bit. Here and there. About certain aspects. Of stuff. But I've never been a hundred percent. Like. Full disclosure. With a lot of people. On certain topics.

[00:57:35] Just because. I feel like. It's better to. Keep some things to myself. Just to see how they react. And to. They're legitimate. Yeah. So I'm not going to tell someone. Everything. And I. That goes on around here. So then they're like. Oh. I know why this is going on. Blah, blah, blah. Do you experience this? You experience that? Well. There's some certain things. That I haven't talked about. So if you're a psychic. You should know that. So that's.

[00:58:03] That's how I kind of go about things. Like. If I've talked about stuff. And it's out in the public knowledge. And that's the only thing. They could tell me. That they're not really. Getting blood information. Yeah. That's easy. But. But. In my case. I didn't. Tell her anything. I just asked. About. Did I die. In the car accident. But. I could see. Like. She could make up anything.

[00:58:32] Here is. This is weird. And. Kind of a. Interesting little bit here. The other night. I read. I do another show. Called Crinkle Conspiracies. Only on Patreon. And. My friend. My friend Ed and I. We get on there. We just kind of BS. With each other. It's. More lighthearted. Than. Some of the other stuff. Because. We. Joke around. We're done. Whatever. But. The thing that we. Wanted to talk about. The other night. Is.

[00:59:02] People to get really close to death. Like people to get put under. On anesthesia. And then he messaged me yesterday. And so there was some stuff. That he wanted to talk about. That he kind of forgot. But. Like near death experiences. People that should have died. Maybe they did die. And then now they're just. Programmed again. Like they're keep going on. Like another. Version of that. It's very similar. To what you were just talking about. And we just talked about this. Yeah. We recorded it. I think Sunday night. So. Weird little synchronicity. That we were talking about. People like that. And then.

[00:59:32] You have this experience. But basically. He was wondering like. What if people. That got close to death. Or were under anesthesia. Were so close to death. That what if they did die. And then like. Another version of themselves. Is now living. Yeah. Because I've heard of walking. That's what they call it. Have you heard of that term? I don't know about the term. But I know what you're referring to.

[01:00:03] Right. Like if some. Like you said. Another. Dimensional. Self. Another. Another. Another version of yourself. Has now been transported. Into this meat suit. Yeah. There you go. And now that is. It's one of those. Independent possibilities. Like you die in this world. Do you die in another world? Well if you didn't die in this other world. Then are you still living in this world?

[01:00:32] Just like Rick and Marty. Right. Which I've only watched a couple episodes when it first started. I have not watched all of them. Which. They hit a lot of. They hit a lot of real points. That only if you're like in this. Field. You'll be like. Oh okay. They have. They're obviously. They've heard of. Whatever the topic is. It's pretty fun. Yeah. I've. I've been meaning to watch it. But at the same time.

[01:01:01] I don't watch a whole lot of anything. That's good bro. I'm a big reader. I like to read a lot. Oh I don't. I stare at my phone probably too much. But. I don't read a whole lot of books. I don't get to watch a lot of TV. My kids have taken over that aspect of my life. I have. Young kids. Want to watch. The television at all times. Because they want to watch. Kids playing with toys. Instead of playing with their own toys. Yeah.

[01:01:30] It is. It's funny. I've seen that. Kids want to watch people play video games. People want to. They make a lot of money now. Being Twitch streamers. By playing video games. Back in the day. I could have done the same thing. Because I played video games all the time too. But. I never thought someone was going to watch me play a video game. That is weird dude. My parents watch people. Playing the flop.

[01:02:01] I guess it's better than spending money at the slots. Yeah. It's so weird. Like they're going to learn a new trick or something. I have no idea about that. I've never seen that. But. It doesn't surprise me. People watch. I'm sure there's something out there for everybody. Oh yeah. My kid likes to watch. Kids play with monster trucks. Little monster truck toys. That's cool. I used to build them. Do you remember those.

[01:02:34] Like. The little kids. Like. You would get a box. Yeah. And you. You paint it. And you build it. Mm-hmm. Those are awesome. Like. Almost like a model. Yeah. I would get. I would get the like. The low rider stuff. Mm-hmm. My buddy used to get models all the time. He'd spend a lot of time painting it. And everything else. He'd get like the old hot rod cars. And then we'd come out to my house. We'd blow them up. And record it on video.

[01:03:04] That's fun too. Yeah. Yeah. We were. We were. Destructive kids. I guess. Back in the 90s. Just blowing shit up. Yeah. So what. What else have you come. To think about that field melt. What have you learned. It happened. And now nothing. I honestly don't know. Here's what's funny. So.

[01:03:34] I didn't mention this on the episode. Like I said. There's a lot of things that I haven't talked about. But. Strangely enough. This is almost a year ago now. I was asked to speak at a local event. And I was there. And I talked about what had happened. It was like a local UFO group. And I was at one of them. I did two of their meetings. I spoke in Fort Wayne. And I spoke here in Peru where I'm from. And. The day that I'd come home.

[01:04:04] I'd went down the road. Now shit you not. There was a dog walking in the middle of the road. Same similar description. But it was nowhere near as big. But it was a black. Chow looking dog. And. It was just in the middle of the road. I had to slow down. I had this furtivus. And it's literally a quarter mile down from my house. So I was just kind of weirded out. Because like. Obviously this is just a normal dog. Because it was. Not huge. But I was like.

[01:04:33] I just talked about something that looks similar to this. And here this thing is just walking in the road. Well. People posted on Facebook. That. There's a dog out here. It's been out there for a couple days. I was like. Okay. Well. I'm not the only person that's seen it. Someone else has said. There's a stray dog out here. But I get home. And out of my garage. Right by the door. Is a field mouse. No. And he had. He had done the same thing.

[01:05:03] I kicked it with my shoe. I put it in a bucket. I took it out. I took it in the field. And I let it loose. And. People are like. Oh that's bullshit. Or whatever. I swear on everything. But here's the thing. That mouse. I know was poisoned. Because I have. Like. Orkin comes out. And they put up baits and stuff. They put it out in the garage. So. Yeah. It's not the only time I've seen a mouse do that. Like they eat the poison. They do that. So. It was dying. Yeah.

[01:05:33] It's just the timing that bugged me. Like. I just saw the dog. And then I come into the driveway. And now there's this stupid mouse. So. It's like there's. It's like there's. The universe. Kind of keeps your mind. In the. I don't know. It makes you feel the same thing sometimes. Of when it actually happens. Like. To me that's how. It's just the timing. Like I spoke about it that morning. And then. Brought it back out.

[01:06:02] And then I go down the road. I go to the store. And I come back home. I see this stupid dog in the road. I end up driving around it. And then. Three houses down. I pull on my driveway. I get out. I walk in there. And I see this stupid mouse. So I just scoop it up. And like. Throw it across the road. I didn't want it dying in my garage. And stinking up like dead animal. But. It's like. How in the hell. Is this going on still? Like I literally seen something. That looks very similar. And now I'm the stupid mouse again. It's just.

[01:06:31] You can't make this shit up. You know what struck me. Is when you said it was wet. The first time. Because. Just studying all the stuff. You know how you get into rabbit hole. Of different things. As. As you see things. You start researching things. And it says. Um. There's a guy. I follow. Darius. Who.

[01:07:00] He actually puts himself. Into. Paralysis. So that. Soul jumps out. Of his body. Okay. But what he says. Is he says that. Every portal. Is. Water. Related. That. It's the lubricant. To pass. Through. And so. When you said it was wet. I was like. Oh my God.

[01:07:30] I think. I just jumped into. Well. I've heard of something. And I don't know if it's a similar thing. But. Someone had mentioned. Ectoplasm before. And it's like. It's like how. You. Water. Yeah. You mentioned. A. Like water. Like a liquid. That's what they described. Like an ectoplasm. Being this. Like. It's a. Moisture. Base thing. It's something that. Manifests. By traveling. Through the different.

[01:08:00] Realms. So maybe it's. What he says. It's like. Water based. Maybe this slimy. Ectoplasm. Is kind of. What they're getting at. Too. Yeah. I mean. Could be all that. So. Because I never. Physically like. Picked it up. To see if it was. Watery wet. I just could tell. It's fur was all wet. So it could. Was it cold? Yeah. It was in February. So it was. Like. Really cold outside. I haven't been further.

[01:08:29] I haven't been past. Tyler, Texas. Well. Usually. In Indiana. Around February. Your highs are probably. In like the 30s. At the most. Sometimes. They get into the 40s. Depending on. Like how late. In February. But it's still kind of. Dead in the winter. So. It could be. Depending on if it's a milder. Week. It. It changes on a dime. Around here.

[01:08:59] We've been in the 50s. The last few days. And now. It's snowing outside. I don't know. I could deal with snow. But. We have a. Supposedly. A snowstorm. Coming this weekend. So. We will see. It looks like. A lot of the worst stuff. Will be down south. Which. Whatever. I don't care. At this point. Like. I don't have to go anywhere. If I don't need to go anywhere. I saw a freaking dog. I don't have. I don't care. Like.

[01:09:29] For work purposes. Through the winter. I work from home. For the most part. So. It's not like. I have to travel for work. And. With it being. The time of year. That it is. It's a. Cold season. There's not a lot of. Construction work. That goes on. During the cold season. So. For me. I work on a computer. At home. So. If I don't have to go out. Yeah. I do that. I don't have to go out. I don't have to go out. The weather anymore. I used to have to plow snow. So. Oh wow. When it snowed. I always had to go out.

[01:09:59] And do that crap. But. I don't do that job. I still do the similar job. I just don't work for. The government anymore. So I don't have that aspect. To my. Daily routine. So I don't care if it snows. I used to hate it. Now I was like. Let it snow. I should have. That's. So you had to pay more attention. To the weather. As a plow. Right? Yeah. For about. Nine years. I hated my life. To be a hundred percent honest. Because. Especially during the winter time. You were on call.

[01:10:29] 24-7. So it didn't matter. What plans you had. If it snowed. You were literally going to have to be. In a truck. Plowing all night long. Oh no way. So it wasn't. So it wasn't like you had a specific time. To do it. You had to go. Whenever they needed it. Depending on. Well. The way it was at first. That they've gone. Alphabetical order. Depending on the last person. That was called out. And then they set it up. The last few years. To there was a. A 12 to.

[01:10:59] Like a noon to midnight. And a midnight to noon. And. So you're working 12 hours. Just depending on what shift. They put you on. So. For me. I did not enjoy that aspect. Of my job. But. Luckily. Like I said. I don't work for. The government anymore. I still do the same. Construction aspect. To the job. I just work for. A private entity. That's cool.

[01:11:30] So you could use any. You can use any of these. If you want to chop them up. Into different episodes. That are more relevant. I don't. I don't mind what you're going to do. No. I will just. I'm just glad you're. I'm just glad you responded. Because. I don't know. I was pulled. To. To email. That was cool. I respond to everyone. That reaches out. Sometimes it might take me. A little bit. But I always make sure.

[01:11:59] To reach out to everyone. Sometimes I don't notice things. Because they get put in. Spam folders. So I have to check those. Occasionally. Just make sure there's nothing in there. And then. Do you have a. Like. Do you have a separate. Email. For just your. Team foil. Yeah. The podcast has. It's. The podcast. Email. And then. This number that we're talking on. Is my actual podcast. Phone number. So. That's cool. I have a line directly.

[01:12:29] For the podcast. Because I started doing. A live call in show. So. This number is. Assigned directly. To the podcast. So. When people have actually. I've been gotten text messages. And I haven't responded to people. Because this phone. Stays out in my studio. Because I have my normal. Oh yeah. And I have a work phone. And now I have a studio. For you. I don't want to walk around. Strictly business. Strictly business. Strictly business. Stays out there. That's something. I leave it hooked up. To my recording thing. That way. It's supposed to work.

[01:12:59] Like it's. How it does. But as we had earlier. It doesn't always work. Right off the bat. But. No. I leave everything out here. Because. I try and have. My work stuff. My personal life. And the podcast. Stuff. All separated. So. Organized. Yeah. So. Everything just stays out here. That's something. I'm learning. To do. Well. I've got. A wife. And four kids. So. It is a.

[01:13:29] So. I have no excuse. It is a very. Hectic schedule. Like I. I do about. Three or four interviews. A week. I try and attend. Everything I can. For my kids. And then I work. A full time job. During the day. So it is a very. Crazy. Hectic life. And that's why I said. I don't know. Looking at it now. Knowing what it was going to become. I don't know. If I would have really started the show. Because. Is. I don't regret it. But. Right.

[01:13:58] It's become a lot more than what I ever expected it to be. As in work. And. Effort. And everything else. I have to continue to put into it. I think that's awesome though. Maybe. Maybe someday. It'll get to the point where I do this professionally. And this is my full time job. But until that point. I don't see that happening. So. Yeah. Do you do conferences? I have. Are you?

[01:14:28] I did a few. Yes. And I have some coming up this year too. I'm going to be at like. Eight or nine. Ten possible events this year. Oh. Do you ever come. My way? No. I think the. Furthest I'm going this year is probably. Tennessee. But there are. I. Try and stay within like a. Few hour drive.

[01:14:57] I'll be. In Chicago. I'll be. In Indianapolis. And then. Later in the year. I'll probably be somewhere in Kentucky. And then. Ohio. And. I. I stay around the surrounding. States. Basically. I don't want to go too far. Because. It's. It's trial and error. Like. I go there. And sometimes I might sell some shirts. Or some stickers.

[01:15:27] I give away for free. So I'm not making money off stickers. But. You also have to pay to go to these things. And set up a booth. So if you don't make your money back. It's all taking a loss. So. I spend more money to do this podcast. Than I ever make profit. But. But. To me. It's my hobby. So I don't care that I'm losing money. At the end of it. I know. I'm still a bit excited. Just. When I get an idea. It's always fun to. Go out.

[01:15:56] And meet people. That listen to the show. And. I've had a few that come up. And actually. Someone actually. Said. Can we take a picture together? I was like. I mean. Sure. Why the hell do you want a picture with me? Okay. So. Do you have any. Asshole tinfoil hat? Here's what's funny. I do have. A tinfoil hat. On a mannequin. And I was at CryptidCon. And that was the biggest thing. That everyone kept over. Come over to my table. To talk about. They didn't care about the podcast.

[01:16:26] They wanted to take photos. Of the mannequin head. With a tinfoil hat on. And then they kept asking me. If I was selling something. And I said no. So maybe. Oh my god dude. So maybe this year. When I go to these conventions. And conferences. And everything else. I'm going to be selling. Some tinfoil hats. So. I'll take a couple rolls of tinfoil. Make them right there. Oh you want one? Boom boom boom boom. You want one here. Let me measure your head. And make them for them. And go from there. I try and do it to where my wife is always with me. But having the kids.

[01:16:56] Is always kind of hard. Right. So. This year. Oh okay. This year. I will probably be at a couple. That I know she won't be at. The one in Indianapolis. Is a three day event. So it's going to be really hard to. Expect her to be there for. Twelve hours a day. Three days in a row. So I don't know. I'll. Be doing that one on my own. And then. The one in Tennessee. Is a literally an eight hour drive. One direction. So I'm going to wake up early in the morning.

[01:17:25] I'll ask to Tennessee. Do the convention. And come home. Same day. Has your family ever seen anything? Not like me. And honestly. I would prefer them not to. Yeah. Trust me. Right. Like we've had experiences. And stuff here. Like.

[01:17:53] Weird paranormal stuff that goes on. But as far as like. Seem. Cryptids. Or anything like that. No. But. But Peru is. Is that like a hot spot? I. I'll talk to you here in a second. When we finish this up. And I'll give you some. Information. I don't want to let the audience. Keep hearing the same things. I've already talked about. So. Oh. Yeah. If you are good.

[01:18:23] With this episode. We can wrap this up. Yeah. Can I just. Shamishly. Drop my. Now you can go ahead. And plug your show. I will make sure to include. I'll make sure to include a link for it. In the show notes. For anyone listening. Okay. Cool. So. So my YouTube is. Dragonpaw. Five. Two. Six. Seven. And my. Podcast is on. Spotify. Star.

[01:18:53] Blood. Chronicles. And I just want to thank you again. For. For listening. I mean. It's hard enough. Just to find anyone. To talk to about stuff like this. That is why I do what I do. Because sometimes. You can't talk to people. Because they think you're crazy. Yeah. And they try to. I'm not saying that. Not everyone's crazy. Because I think we're all a little crazy. But I don't think. We're crazy in some of the things. That we see.

[01:19:24] Yeah. I think sometimes. That helps you to see. Well. It's been a pleasure. Thank you very much. Yep. For anyone out there listening. Make sure to check out the show notes. For a link to the show. We're going to wrap this one up. So we'll check you on the next one. Just remember. Truth comes at cost. Are you willing to pay the price?

[01:19:48] I played last night. About something lurking. Along the wood line. Huge footprints. Strange lights in the sky. They claim it's nothing. But I know they lie. It's easier to laugh. To laugh in my face. But something about this makes me say. What if it's real?

[01:20:18] What if they knew? What if the answers are coming from you? It's wasting my time.

[01:21:05] Mothman flies. Above the buried giants. Hidden beneath the lies. They say it's just stories. It's all made believe. Fairy tales for the things we can't perceive. They want to keep us blinded. They want to break our will. If the truth could set us free.

[01:21:34] Alien signals traveling through time. Secret space programs racing their minds. They call them crazy. But I just need some proof. What if it's true?

[01:21:47] If it's me.
