Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,757 --> 00:00:09,967
So you wanna talk about
synchronicities right?
2
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:17,310
May 23rd, May 23rd at 10:23am
3
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:22,112
I’m just scrolling through
Twitter and all of a sudden
4
00:00:22,772 --> 00:00:24,772
a name pops out at me.
5
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,609
It’s Thursday so there’s
Folklore Thursday.
6
00:00:28,611 --> 00:00:31,491
You ever participate in that?
It’s pretty great.
7
00:00:31,489 --> 00:00:34,409
It's just lots of folklore
people throw up.
8
00:00:34,492 --> 00:00:39,042
Well on this day, I see that
Chris Woodyard retweeted:
9
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:43,883
"In Somerset it is said
that a child alone
10
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:46,497
in a bluebell wood will be
whisked away by fairies forever.
11
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:50,125
If an adult goes into
a wood to pick bluebells, faeries
12
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:52,393
it will lead them round
in circles for hours, if not days,
13
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:53,885
until someone ventures in to
14
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,967
rescue them.” I thought well,
that’s interesting,
15
00:00:57,307 --> 00:00:59,017
Somerset.
16
00:00:59,017 --> 00:01:01,387
Must be a Somerset in the UK,
right?
17
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:03,935
Didn’t really think
much of it.
18
00:01:03,938 --> 00:01:10,528
Well that was at 10:23,
at 10:28 this pops up into
19
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:13,568
my timeline, “Somerset
is a hot-spot
20
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:16,993
for the fae and for
centuries my local fairies
21
00:01:16,993 --> 00:01:19,793
have held a fair on the
Blackdown Hills.
22
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:23,748
First reported in Bovet’s
Pandaemonium (1684)
23
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,630
the event includes ribbon peddlers,
pewterers, and ale
24
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:27,708
sellers.
25
00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:29,922
But beware- guests are not welcome!”
26
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:33,473
So that’s another Folklore Thursday
that popped up in my feed
27
00:01:33,468 --> 00:01:36,598
minutes after.
So then this pops up.
28
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:41,726
[Laughing]
10:28, “In Somerset,
29
00:01:41,726 --> 00:01:45,936
angry tree fairies known as Oak-
Men are said to inhabit any
30
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:48,319
coppice growing from felled oaks.
31
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:51,276
Locals know to avoid these thickets
after sunset.”
32
00:01:51,277 --> 00:01:52,607
Another photograph..
33
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:53,612
[Connor] Going again
34
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:56,833
-Somerset popped up again
in my timeline, minutes later.
35
00:01:56,825 --> 00:01:58,075
[Connor] Yeah, yeah
36
00:01:58,076 --> 00:02:01,616
- So at this point I went “okay that’s
weird, I’m gonna
37
00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:03,711
start looking at Somerset.”
38
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:08,956
So I went to the search function
on Twitter and I typed in
39
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:12,842
Somerset. The first thing that
popped up is from last year,
40
00:02:12,841 --> 00:02:14,051
“Anyone else who lives in Somerset
41
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:17,470
I swear there is a UFO hovering
above I’m not messing”
42
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:22,311
Okay, here’s another one,
“Triangle Shape in Somerset
43
00:02:22,308 --> 00:02:25,098
Kentucky on Friday the
21st of February 2014.”
44
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:29,821
The legend of Goblin Combe, Somerset,
as recorded in
45
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:34,696
“Folktales of England”
Briggs and Tongue, 1965.
46
00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:40,986
Whole story here about uh...
fairies from Goblin Combe in
47
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:47,254
Somerset England. So by this point
3 hours had gone by, this is at 1:19.
48
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:49,290
Same day. May 23rd.
49
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:52,594
1691 book “The Secret Commonwealth
of Elves,
50
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:56,469
Fawns, and Fairies” is regarded
by many as one of the most important
51
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:58,757
works on fairy lore
ever committed to paper.
52
00:02:59,596 --> 00:03:01,926
The author it is said,
paid a heavy price for
53
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:03,681
his involvement with fairy folk.
54
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:08,353
It’s not super thick but it’s like
full of the secrets of the fae, right?
55
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:11,770
They say that this guy paid the
ultimate price
56
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:13,744
for revealing these secrets.
57
00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:15,105
You know what his name was?
58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,110
His name was Robert Kirk.
59
00:03:17,906 --> 00:03:19,366
Newkirk.
60
00:03:20,074 --> 00:03:21,664
- You’re Newkirk!
61
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:22,739
- What are we literally
doing right now?
62
00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:27,834
- The new Kirk! and you’re
like also a gray minister.
63
00:03:27,832 --> 00:03:32,252
- This guy was a minister in this place.
I’m literally an ordained minister
64
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:32,673
- Yeah
65
00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:36,720
- My dad was a minister.
This guy Robert Kirk was
66
00:03:36,716 --> 00:03:39,296
dragged away by the fae
because he was giving
67
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:40,302
their secrets away.
68
00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:42,385
Which is literally what
we’re trying to do.
69
00:03:43,598 --> 00:03:45,928
It’s that idea of a story
that continues to play out
70
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:47,524
over and over and over again.
71
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:58,527
♪ Hellier Theme ♪
72
00:04:58,756 --> 00:05:04,096
At some point you need to
resign yourself to the fact that
73
00:05:04,095 --> 00:05:07,885
you may never know
exactly what it is but if you’re
74
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:10,890
very fortunate you’ll get
the poetry of it.
75
00:05:12,937 --> 00:05:16,477
♪ "Seditionaires"
by the Bent Brothers ♪
76
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:26,241
[Greenfield] It’s a transformational
experience and again I’ll refer you to
77
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:30,042
Joseph Campbell and
the "Hero's Journey."
78
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:32,368
This is the Hero's Journey,
79
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:36,423
and it involves going and
obstacles and coming back
80
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:39,709
but not being the person
that you were when you started,
81
00:05:40,256 --> 00:05:44,586
being greater for the agony
and the ecstasy of it.
82
00:05:51,809 --> 00:05:56,859
[Greg] Hellier was a lot easier to
compartmentalize when the
83
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:01,816
first season was being prepped.
Before the first season
84
00:06:01,819 --> 00:06:06,159
came out, I mean it’s obvious there
was a point in time where I
85
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:08,117
kind of threw my hands up and
was like “I- I can’t think about
86
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:10,287
this right now” I was frustrated with it.
87
00:06:10,286 --> 00:06:13,706
So I wasn’t, I wasn’t dedicating a lot
of time to it.
88
00:06:14,082 --> 00:06:17,252
Then after Hellier came out,
it was just impossible.
89
00:06:17,251 --> 00:06:19,381
I didn’t really have choice in
the matter anymore,
90
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:23,339
it just is kind of 100% Hellier
all the time.
91
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:28,301
and then we try and do we try and
do the museum whenever
92
00:06:28,304 --> 00:06:32,484
we can but Hellier is always
somewhere hovering
93
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:34,805
in the backs of our minds.
94
00:06:35,686 --> 00:06:39,566
[Dana] The more that I think
about us doing an initiation ritual,
95
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:45,775
the more I feel as if that’s the
right direction to be looking in.
96
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:52,290
I think that there’s so much
happening that just seems to be
97
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:56,957
perfectly situated in that space
and it’s happening to each of us
98
00:06:56,958 --> 00:07:01,208
separately in our own individual ways,
and together as a group,
99
00:07:01,212 --> 00:07:05,802
it just feels as if we are a part of this
massive initiation and I don’t
100
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,260
know what we’re being initiated
into but it feels as if it is
101
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:14,523
a current that we’re being
pulled along through.
102
00:07:19,313 --> 00:07:23,943
[Greg] A month after Hellier
dropped, somebody sent me a
103
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:26,863
copy of a book that I’ve been
looking for for years.
104
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:31,160
Really strange timing on it,
super odd,
105
00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:34,119
it’s like a holy grail book for Forteans
and weirdos,
106
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,330
something that’s super rare,
not many copies exist
107
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:41,211
in fact usually to read a copy,
you have to go to a library.
108
00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:44,837
and I think the nearest one
here is like in Indianapolis
109
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:49,179
and you have to either rent it
through like inter-library loan
110
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:52,757
for professors or you
have to read it there.
111
00:07:52,763 --> 00:07:53,893
[Connor]- Is it really old?
112
00:07:53,890 --> 00:07:58,230
- Uh it’s like 70’s, 80’s?
I think 80’s I wanna say?
113
00:07:58,936 --> 00:08:04,436
It’s called “The Rebirth of Pan”
he sent me PDF copy,
114
00:08:06,527 --> 00:08:10,407
to buy a new copy--
to buy an old copy literally
115
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:16,246
they're like $500, $600.
Even bootleg prints go for $150.
116
00:08:16,245 --> 00:08:19,535
So it’s crazy that it’s so hard to find.
117
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:23,380
But because of that it’s one of the
Holy Grail books for a lot of Forteans.
118
00:08:23,377 --> 00:08:26,417
Really interesting timing
on receiving this thing.
119
00:08:26,422 --> 00:08:28,552
It was written by a guy
named Jim Brandon,
120
00:08:28,549 --> 00:08:31,589
There’s a lot of mystery around this guy
because that’s a pseudonym.
121
00:08:31,594 --> 00:08:33,854
Apparently he used to be a reporter.
122
00:08:34,096 --> 00:08:39,136
He lays out a case in this book
that we’re dealing with some
123
00:08:39,143 --> 00:08:43,613
sort of a grand spirit of the earth,
he calls it Pan,
124
00:08:43,606 --> 00:08:48,146
Pan obviously after the god Pan
but also because “pan” means “all."
125
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:52,238
I read the entire thing in one sitting
and I’m just making note,
126
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,080
after note, after note in this book
because so much of it
127
00:08:57,078 --> 00:08:59,038
was so unbelievably relevant.
128
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:04,379
What really drew me to it was
this page, there’s a three-toed
129
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:06,297
footprint. Another three-toed
130
00:09:06,295 --> 00:09:07,755
footprint that’s actually at one of
131
00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:09,415
the native mounds here in Ohio,
132
00:09:09,423 --> 00:09:14,143
then these three-toed tracks that
look like turkey prints.
133
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,520
He says the mythical personality
Orion who is sometimes referred
134
00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:20,686
to as the cocks foot or the
foot-turning wanderer,
135
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:23,595
one can only wonder at the relevance
of the fact that one of
136
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:26,324
the most persistent cliffs appearing
on native rock art,
137
00:09:26,315 --> 00:09:27,815
anomalous inscribed objects
138
00:09:27,817 --> 00:09:31,777
and even as centerpieces in the great
mounds complex in Newark, Ohio
139
00:09:31,779 --> 00:09:34,659
is that of the three-toed
bird tracks symbol.
140
00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:36,947
A ridiculously associative mind
might even ponder a link
141
00:09:36,951 --> 00:09:40,251
with many three-toed bigfoot tracks
widely found from
142
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:43,746
ancient rock, to contemporary
garden mud.
143
00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:46,289
I wondered what Wicca enthusiasts
would have made of
144
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:48,554
them since this mark is the sign of
witches' meeting places
145
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:49,546
in European lore.
146
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:53,006
This symbol also occurs in many
other North American rock inscriptions.
147
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:58,469
I can only conjecture that this symbol
has some unknown significance to Pan.
148
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:01,771
Immediately there’s’ this three-toed link
149
00:10:01,767 --> 00:10:06,057
with the idea of Pan, and that’s kind
of what got me started looking at Pan.
150
00:10:06,647 --> 00:10:11,027
This symbol right here, that
three-toed footprint symbol,
151
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:15,866
this is the... this is the footprint
152
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:18,325
that we didn’t think was related,
153
00:10:18,326 --> 00:10:20,486
the one that was found
just outside Hellier.
154
00:10:20,494 --> 00:10:21,834
- Oooh! From that guys' friend!
155
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:22,869
You remember them talking
about that in the cave?
156
00:10:22,872 --> 00:10:26,132
- And that's in stone?
- Yeah. It's literally that.
157
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:30,422
We could think back to the phone
call we had with the guy
158
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:35,721
in Jenkins who said they’d found
a three-toed print in a cave.
159
00:10:35,718 --> 00:10:37,088
[Jack, on phone]
Yeah there’s a track and I can
160
00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:41,814
put my two fingers down in the track,
- Yeah
161
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:46,517
- Like a... I don’t know if you
would call it a turkey track
162
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,360
or something but I can put my
two fingers in that track and
163
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:54,739
my thumb would be back,
sort of like a turkey track.
164
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:57,817
- When we saw photos of it we
wrote it off because it didn’t look
165
00:10:57,823 --> 00:11:01,163
like the goblin prints we were
looking for, it looked like a turkey
166
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,290
track. And now here all of
a sudden is this book,
167
00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:09,879
laying out the significance of these
tracks in these paranormal cases.
168
00:11:10,961 --> 00:11:12,801
This is when I started to really
sit up and take notice, in fact
169
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:16,177
I actually texted Karl this
immediately because
170
00:11:16,175 --> 00:11:17,045
it was so strange.
171
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:22,684
He goes into power names, and talking
about the idea of power names
172
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:25,732
and what those mean for Fortean
cases and strange cases,
173
00:11:25,726 --> 00:11:27,846
paranormal phenomena, things like that.
174
00:11:28,312 --> 00:11:29,442
He says
175
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,320
"I’m not talking here about such
spooky tongue twisters
176
00:11:33,317 --> 00:11:38,237
as HP Lovecraft’s "Yog-Sothoth"
or Arthur Machen's ‘Ishakshar,”
177
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:42,079
but of quite ordinary names like Bell,
Beall, and variants.
178
00:11:42,076 --> 00:11:45,656
Crowley, Francis, Grafton, Grubb,
179
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:48,253
McGee, Mason, , McKinney,
180
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:52,419
Montpelier, Parsons and Pike.
181
00:11:54,922 --> 00:11:59,432
Particularly calls out Parsons
and Pike as power names,
182
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:03,347
two of the things that were
intrinsically connected to Hellier.
183
00:12:03,347 --> 00:12:05,727
[Connor] Aaah! Like Pike County!
184
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:12,694
David M. Parsons. Which is SO odd, right?
- So weird.
185
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:14,150
-So strange
[Dana laughs]
186
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:18,324
[Tyler] Unbelievable! It keeps popping up,
over and over again.
187
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:24,409
But we continue to see the name
Parsons all over the place!
188
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:28,250
And a list of maybe, not even a
dozen names here...
189
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:31,537
Shelby, Vernon, Watson, Watt,
Williams, Williamson.
190
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:34,133
That was a big one.
191
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:38,174
I haven’t read a whole lot about power
names until reading through this,
192
00:12:38,174 --> 00:12:41,594
he also talks about something
that he calls the “Fayette Factor”
193
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:44,764
where like anything with name "faye"
194
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:47,774
or any relation to fairy like names,
tend to have
195
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:49,437
some really strange stuff.
196
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,515
"Pike is the name only slightly
less charged
197
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,110
with strange significance than
Fayette across our land."
198
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:57,146
Alright one of the other interesting
things that he starts
199
00:12:57,151 --> 00:13:00,321
going into is the fact that
Sirius and Orion
200
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:04,241
seem to play a role in all
of these sightings.
201
00:13:04,241 --> 00:13:08,371
Sirius is the dog star,
Orion is the hunter.
202
00:13:08,579 --> 00:13:09,829
Orion
203
00:13:10,831 --> 00:13:12,371
is the where the bad
bad aliens come from,
204
00:13:12,374 --> 00:13:13,924
Sirius is where the good aliens
come from.
205
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:18,420
Bad aliens, for some reason, in
tons and tons of these reports
206
00:13:18,422 --> 00:13:21,762
and these cases go after dogs.
They take dogs,
207
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,299
they show an outward hostility
to canines.
208
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:27,393
What is the thing that happens
to David’s dog?
209
00:13:27,431 --> 00:13:28,641
It's abducted.
210
00:13:28,682 --> 00:13:29,142
[David email reading]
211
00:13:29,141 --> 00:13:31,981
They actively attempt to enter my
home in the middle of the night.
212
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:34,810
Last month, they took my dog.
213
00:13:35,439 --> 00:13:38,029
In the Mothman Prophecies
there’s a whole passage about
214
00:13:38,025 --> 00:13:40,315
people’s dogs disappearing
during the Point Pleasant flap.
215
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:43,573
“Animal disappearances and deaths
go hand in hand with the UFO
216
00:13:43,572 --> 00:13:47,372
phenomena. In December 1973 and
January 1974,
217
00:13:47,368 --> 00:13:49,038
there were wholesale disappearances
218
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:51,366
of pet dogs from Connecticut to
California.
219
00:13:51,455 --> 00:13:56,125
Among my grimmer memories
of 1966-67 are those times
220
00:13:56,126 --> 00:13:59,086
when I knelt in farm fields
to examine dead animals,
221
00:13:59,088 --> 00:14:03,258
particularly dogs, who had suffered
amazingly clean and expert cuts.
222
00:14:03,259 --> 00:14:06,549
These deaths were not localized,
but came in nationwide waves
223
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:09,564
simultaneously with UFO waves.
This pattern has been
224
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:11,307
repeated ever since.”
225
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:14,484
Richard Hinckley Allen,
the star lore expert,
226
00:14:14,478 --> 00:14:18,068
notes that Orion was often in earlier
times known as the "Cock's Foot"
227
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:20,065
or the "Foot-Turning Wanderer."
228
00:14:20,067 --> 00:14:23,947
Again, three toes, the Cock's Foot,
the Foot-Turning Wanderer.
229
00:14:24,738 --> 00:14:27,278
The Cock's Foot, three-toed footprints,
230
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:30,243
Orion being at war with the dog star,
231
00:14:30,244 --> 00:14:33,714
David finding three-toed footprints,
his dog disappearing,
232
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:35,166
I mean it’s all there.
233
00:14:35,624 --> 00:14:40,884
And what’s more, is that we
come to find that Sirius the star
234
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,840
is sometimes referred
to as “the blue star”
235
00:14:43,841 --> 00:14:46,181
which is feeling more
important and significant
236
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:49,506
with Sirius after we found
this blue star balloon.
237
00:14:49,930 --> 00:14:52,060
Running with that connection, I
actually wonder if those
238
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:55,517
dates in February might have
something to do with Sirius.
239
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:58,355
We actually reach out to an
astrologer on twitter who had
240
00:14:58,355 --> 00:15:00,855
done some really interesting
work with some of the dates
241
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:02,148
from Hellier Season one.
242
00:15:02,526 --> 00:15:04,606
And we asked about those
specific dates in February,
243
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:07,572
along with the date in June when
we found the blue star balloon.
244
00:15:08,198 --> 00:15:12,158
We told her the locations of the
balloons that were found
245
00:15:12,161 --> 00:15:16,751
And the times that they were found.
Nothing else.
246
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:18,461
She doesn’t know that they’re
even balloons,
247
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:20,629
she knows nothing about why these
dates are significant.
248
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:24,381
"The two dates in February also
have a lot of planets clustered,
249
00:15:24,381 --> 00:15:27,301
In what Steven Forest
calls the 'Objective Fate Quadrant'
250
00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:29,761
of the charts. So that tells me
that these two dates
251
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:32,812
likely involved the same people
and events.
252
00:15:32,806 --> 00:15:34,516
Definitely similar vibes."
253
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,847
"Date one: Third of February.
254
00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:40,692
Anne Ortelee says that sometimes
the sun on the south node
255
00:15:40,689 --> 00:15:43,689
can bring people in who can
help you on your path.
256
00:15:43,692 --> 00:15:47,702
If anyone new appeared then
they’re probably significant."
257
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:50,156
That’s probably you.
258
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:51,489
[Karl] No that’s Amy.
259
00:15:51,575 --> 00:15:52,575
Oh shit!
260
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:57,211
[Dana] Oooh! Oh my god!
[Tyler] Yeah, yeah of course! Amy!
261
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:58,576
- Yeah you’re right!
262
00:15:58,582 --> 00:15:59,582
- Oh man
263
00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:03,296
"Another thing that stood out to
me right away on the first chart
264
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:06,005
the 3rd of February,
is Jupiter in Scorpio
265
00:16:06,006 --> 00:16:08,586
is almost exactly trine to the MC
266
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:14,062
so Jupiter transiting Scorpio had a
lot do with bringing up hidden things,
267
00:16:14,056 --> 00:16:15,636
lots bubbling to the surface.
268
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:18,441
Major emphasis on publicly
sharing with others."
269
00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:23,233
"The third date, the 14th of June,
has the moon rising in Scorpio.
270
00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:25,942
This chart has an interesting
'Grand Water Trine'
271
00:16:25,943 --> 00:16:28,573
with the moon ascendant in
Mars north node,
272
00:16:28,612 --> 00:16:29,702
Mercury and Neptune.
273
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:31,622
Mercury is out of bounds.
274
00:16:31,615 --> 00:16:36,195
Because of this I would guess that this
event had a notable emotional impact."
275
00:16:36,203 --> 00:16:38,583
This is the blue star balloon...
276
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:42,213
"With Mars and Mercury on the end node,
I wonder if this was a
277
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:44,089
weird synchronicity event.
278
00:16:44,294 --> 00:16:48,724
Moon in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer
are both in their weakest signs,
279
00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:51,836
I would say this whole chart reflects
something to do with restriction
280
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:56,724
or hesitation, careful planning but with a lot
of drive to keep going."
281
00:16:56,724 --> 00:17:02,274
I mean it’s pretty spot on for knowing
nothing but the dates, times, and places.
282
00:17:02,604 --> 00:17:08,364
What this person believes and
what a lot of Anthropologists believe
283
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:13,370
is that the first appearance of Pan was
in 20,000 BC
284
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:16,075
in a cave in France.
285
00:17:16,076 --> 00:17:19,576
Also known as “the Trois Freres Sorcerer”
286
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:22,745
Super super old, 20,000 BC.
287
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:26,050
This was located so far and so
deep into a cave it was very
288
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:29,005
very difficult to come across
and some anthropologists
289
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:35,176
believe the whole idea was to
meet the shaman, to meet the sorcerer,
290
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:39,599
the goat-headed sorcerer, you had to
go on a very complex and tough journey.
291
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:44,895
Osiris, the Egyptian earth god,
ruled over vegetation
292
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:46,647
and the dead, a psychopomp.
293
00:17:46,648 --> 00:17:48,148
Right here.
294
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:52,570
Notice the color of his skin?
It’s green. But he also has horns.
295
00:17:52,654 --> 00:17:55,534
This shows up again in Islam,
296
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:59,999
in the Quran, this guy is uh- Al-Qadir.
297
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:02,330
Yeah, he’s a trickster prophet.
298
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:04,881
So there you have two
Green Men motifs right there.
299
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:09,840
What pops up a little after that,
in 2700 B.C.?
300
00:18:09,838 --> 00:18:12,168
Is the steatite seal of India.
301
00:18:12,508 --> 00:18:16,008
which shows a horned god
doing a yoga pose.
302
00:18:16,011 --> 00:18:19,601
Notice he’s surrounded by
animals, he’s a forest god.
303
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:25,272
Cernunnos shows up in fourth century BC,
that’s this guy right here.
304
00:18:25,312 --> 00:18:29,272
This guy didn’t have a name until they
were taking apart a church in England
305
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:32,244
and then they found one with an
inscription that sailors had left
306
00:18:32,236 --> 00:18:34,066
and then they called him Cernunnos.
307
00:18:34,071 --> 00:18:37,241
Notice how similar it looks to
the seal from India.
308
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:40,703
Two completely different places.
309
00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:43,462
Hern the Hunter shows up
in Shakespeare in the 1500’s,
310
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:47,634
wore horns and antlers,
had a canine companion.
311
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:53,756
Eventually, Pan is turned into Puck,
Puck is very mischievous.
312
00:18:53,757 --> 00:18:57,467
He likes to cause chaos,
but all of his chaos actually leads to
313
00:18:57,469 --> 00:19:00,509
good things. Causes lots of
dead ends for people.
314
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:03,434
But Those dead ends eventually
lead somewhere.
315
00:19:03,433 --> 00:19:08,523
Images of Pan surrounded by dancing
fae and playing the flute,
316
00:19:08,522 --> 00:19:10,522
you see that all over the place.
317
00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:13,944
Whether it’s - where is it..
right here is one of my
318
00:19:13,944 --> 00:19:16,494
favorite images of it because
you see all of the nymphs
319
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:19,198
dancing and then right over here,
just in the darkness
320
00:19:19,199 --> 00:19:21,699
playing the flute, two
little horns on his head.
321
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:24,412
just out outside of the
view of everybody else.
322
00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:27,117
This eventually turns into
323
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:28,633
this
324
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:32,674
which is the devil being danced
around by the witches.
325
00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:37,965
Eventually Christians took the traits of
Pan and merged them with the devil.
326
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:42,385
A lot of old Christian sites were built on
Pagan sites that were dedicated
327
00:19:42,389 --> 00:19:45,849
to people like Cernunnos and
Pan and things like that
328
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:47,561
because they tried to merge the two,
329
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:49,311
because they knew they would
never get the Pagans to
330
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:54,233
worship, to worship the one God if they
still had these Pagan belief systems.
331
00:19:54,234 --> 00:19:58,994
So as these things started to merge they
merged the devil and Pan together,
332
00:19:58,989 --> 00:20:01,659
Most of these people
didn’t really understand
333
00:20:01,658 --> 00:20:03,408
because they had no
concept of a pure evil.
334
00:20:04,244 --> 00:20:05,254
That was not a thing.
335
00:20:05,245 --> 00:20:08,365
That was like Zoroastrian
dualism that showed up.
336
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:11,248
And then people stopped
paying attention to Pan.
337
00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:13,251
Pan’s actually the only Greek
god that ever died.
338
00:20:13,253 --> 00:20:17,883
The Green Man, lord of vegetation, growth,
rebirth, things like that,
339
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,893
those are all tied in with Pan.
340
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:23,805
We start to see Pan everywhere in all of
these different religions
341
00:20:23,805 --> 00:20:25,265
over and over and over.
342
00:20:26,141 --> 00:20:31,441
So basically what I’m laying
out here, is that there’s an entity,
343
00:20:31,438 --> 00:20:34,898
we can call it Pan we can call it whatever.
The name changes,
344
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,030
The mask changes all the time.
345
00:20:37,027 --> 00:20:42,277
But there is rarely as consistent an
archetypal character
346
00:20:42,282 --> 00:20:43,992
that exists throughout history
347
00:20:44,034 --> 00:20:48,664
has to do with being a trickster,
shows up in ufology cases,
348
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:50,374
shows up in Paganism,
349
00:20:50,374 --> 00:20:51,834
shows up in Christianity,
350
00:20:51,833 --> 00:20:56,053
all of these different places-
as this horned entity
351
00:20:56,546 --> 00:20:57,506
than Pan.
352
00:20:57,798 --> 00:21:00,718
It all really comes back to Pan.
353
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:08,682
One of the things that he talks about here
is about how uh- Crowley, again pops up.
354
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:13,438
“As his famous hymn to Pan suggests,
Crowley was want to invoke
355
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:16,898
this god as the origin point of the
supposed extra-human forces
356
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:19,610
he sought to harness in his
ritual workings.
357
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:24,281
Crowley was literally invoking Pan
in order to speak to
358
00:21:24,908 --> 00:21:25,778
Aiwass,
359
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:27,830
ultraterrestrials,
360
00:21:28,245 --> 00:21:32,115
any of these entities that we're
actively trying to speak to,
361
00:21:32,332 --> 00:21:36,552
he always coordinated with Pan to do
that type of a working.
362
00:21:36,586 --> 00:21:40,336
That I think is huge, I think it’s like
363
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:42,510
this is The Phenomena.
364
00:21:42,509 --> 00:21:45,719
This is The Phenomena.
Or at least a universal name
365
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:47,761
for the Phenomena
throughout the ages.
366
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:56,898
[Dana] One of the things I started doing
in the weeks leading up to this
367
00:21:56,898 --> 00:22:00,648
was something that, the best way I can
describe it is like pressing my
368
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:04,202
energy out or extending an
energy grid to the Somerset
369
00:22:04,197 --> 00:22:08,617
area during my mediations with
the intentions of sort of feeling
370
00:22:08,618 --> 00:22:12,788
out the vibe of the general area,
just seeing if I could pick up on
371
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:18,629
anything. The area felt less
tethered than normal places,
372
00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:23,878
it felt really weird. It didn’t feel like
Hellier it felt a bit different, but it
373
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:27,974
definitely had a sense of feeling
much less tethered than like our
374
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:34,481
waking reality. Then maybe just
being here in this room. I felt a
375
00:22:34,478 --> 00:22:39,858
lot of really weird kind of
elemental energy, like a lot of
376
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:45,065
non-human strange kind of
landlocked grounded elemental
377
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:49,122
energy. I had definite senses of feeling
like there was something
378
00:22:49,117 --> 00:22:52,997
kind of primordial or almost
ancient there in that space?
379
00:22:52,996 --> 00:22:56,996
Maybe it’s everywhere but for
some reason, again because
380
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,170
that spot is so untethered it
felt very clear, it was ringing out
381
00:23:01,171 --> 00:23:04,261
like a bell almost like the place
had been hit like a tuning fork.
382
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,640
Again when I, I kind of
mentioned it earlier but saying it
383
00:23:09,638 --> 00:23:17,558
felt like a hub, it feels as if it’s
an intentionally important spot.
384
00:23:17,562 --> 00:23:23,072
Whether it’s- it has to do
with mineral deposits or whether
385
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:29,158
it has to do with the location itself,
it felt as if the spot itself was the
386
00:23:29,157 --> 00:23:34,827
important part, like that spot specifically
would become some kind of a hub.
387
00:23:42,671 --> 00:23:48,141
I think that we can add a huge
element of kind of magic to what
388
00:23:48,135 --> 00:23:52,715
we’re gonna be doing while
we’re there. Or at least put a nice
389
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:55,182
layer of magic over the top of
everything that we’re doing.
390
00:23:55,183 --> 00:23:59,983
Because why not experiment
with it? So I made a couple lists
391
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:02,980
of things that we can do when
we’re there, and uh the very first
392
00:24:02,983 --> 00:24:06,743
thing that I think we should do
when we get to the cabin is...
393
00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:10,906
I think that we need to make-
and I’m using this word just for the
394
00:24:10,907 --> 00:24:13,697
sake of having a way to explain
this. But I think that we need to
395
00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:17,962
make a fairy alter, some sort of
a fae altar, something that
396
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:22,456
basically is going to be
continuously pumping out some
397
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:26,211
kind of a welcome and just
letting whatever potentially is
398
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:30,724
around us, get to know us and know
that that’s what we're there for.
399
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:33,429
So it’s an intention that's kind
of constantly emanating
400
00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:34,260
out of our space.
401
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:38,774
So some of the things that I
collected for that space would
402
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:44,018
be milk, honey, cinnamon, cakes,
white candles, things that
403
00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:46,234
have traditionally appealed
to the fae.
404
00:24:46,234 --> 00:24:49,744
So we’re gonna just create
some sort of an area that’s
405
00:24:49,738 --> 00:24:54,828
dedicated to them, and every
day each one of us is going to upkeep it.
406
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,830
So that just means changing
out the milk and honey,
407
00:24:57,829 --> 00:24:59,329
putting a different piece of cake
on it, maybe a lighting candle.
408
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:02,501
Just something different every
single day just to let them know
409
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:06,881
that we’re here, we want to
communicate, we’re here respectfully,
410
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,680
and that if you’re comfortable, this
is where, if you wanna and come
411
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:14,637
hang out with us, this is where
we are. This is our hub.
412
00:25:14,721 --> 00:25:18,231
So the other thing that I’ll
be doing is when we get to the
413
00:25:18,225 --> 00:25:24,015
cabin, I have a certain herbal
blend and it’s- again going to
414
00:25:24,022 --> 00:25:26,402
clear out some of the energy of
the people that were there kind
415
00:25:26,399 --> 00:25:30,279
of partying, being loud, being
generally kind of scary to
416
00:25:30,278 --> 00:25:34,238
potential fae-folk. And it’s just
gonna clean out that stuff and
417
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:37,581
again, lay a really nice
foundation for communication.
418
00:25:38,662 --> 00:25:41,252
And that's going to be mug wort,
St. John's Wort, rosemary, and
419
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:45,788
thyme. And they’re all herbs that
are traditionally linked to the fae
420
00:25:45,794 --> 00:25:50,224
but also to peace and harmony.
421
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:53,125
And just kind of letting again,
them know that- that’s what
422
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:57,104
we’re here for to communicate and
to make some sort of
423
00:25:57,097 --> 00:25:57,887
a connection with them.

One of the things I’m going to
have to do when we get to the
426
00:26:06,022 --> 00:26:09,072
cabin is I have a list of things I
want to go out in the woods and
427
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:14,357
find and they're just going to be things
that we can place on that specific altar.
428
00:26:14,364 --> 00:26:19,454
So toadstools, which are they have
a huge association with
429
00:26:19,452 --> 00:26:22,292
fae, especially in the Celtic traditions.
430
00:26:22,289 --> 00:26:26,379
Clovers, bluebells, honeysuckle,
those are all really associated
431
00:26:26,376 --> 00:26:27,626
with fae.
432
00:26:27,627 --> 00:26:30,457
So having them kind of naturally
be placed on the altar from that
433
00:26:30,463 --> 00:26:33,263
specific area is kind of another way of
letting them know that we’re here and
434

we're recognizing that they are also here.

which is the second equinox-
er it’s the second harvest
442
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:13,593
festival basically.
443
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:17,590

this is the second harvest festival.

the day and the night is equally- it’s

around the same amount
of time- it’s a solar festival...

it’s a Celtic festival.

But one of the things that
I thought was interesting
456
00:27:52,295 --> 00:27:56,965
was during Mabon the druids
actually worshipped the Green Man
457
00:27:56,966 --> 00:28:01,806
by offering the trees libations.
So we have a really great recipe
458
00:28:01,805 --> 00:28:05,095
for something we’re gonna make
actually at the cabin.
459
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,774
It has to steep for four days,
four nights,
460
00:28:09,771 --> 00:28:13,191
and then we’re going to pour
some of the libations in the trees
461
00:28:13,191 --> 00:28:16,491
around the cabin and then
maybe around the cave itself.
462

from, from middle school on.
473
00:29:07,871 --> 00:29:12,211
and you know when you’re younger
it’s an awfully oppressive town.
474
00:29:12,208 --> 00:29:16,088
There wasn't, as I mentioned a
lot to do, very religious-based.

gotten a lot weirder to be honest.

There’s always been weird things, but
this town's not really talked about it.
477

There’s a lot of underground conspiracy
theories that you hear in high school
478

and stuff, but the further we got
into the paranormal stuff,

00:29:35,356 --> 00:29:37,276
and especially now that
we’ve opened the museum,
480

490
00:30:06,846 --> 00:30:09,926
because we were still trying
to remain pretty low-key.
491
00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:12,603
But we asked him, you know,
what are some of the stories
492
00:30:12,602 --> 00:30:15,062
that you get here in Somerset?
493
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:20,114
I mean ghost stories of course,
bigfoot sightings,
494
00:30:20,109 --> 00:30:25,109
we had a flying stingray seen in 2015.
495
00:30:25,114 --> 00:30:28,244
We have a ghost train that is in the area.
496
00:30:28,243 --> 00:30:32,543
We have a church that has gospel
singings in the middle of the night,
497
00:30:32,539 --> 00:30:37,339
and like, there's secret
cults that we hear of.
498
00:30:37,335 --> 00:30:40,795
It’s just the perfect place
for a hub of weird things.
499
00:30:40,797 --> 00:30:46,587
If we were going to go looking
for UFO's or head into some caves
500
00:30:46,594 --> 00:30:51,314
and look for these creatures,
would you have any advice for us?
501
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:59,321
Be careful. The area specifically
I’ve mentioned on short creek is...
502
00:30:59,315 --> 00:31:04,065
I mean all people aside, it is out
in the country so you’ll get weird people,
503
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:08,870
all ghosts aside there have been
numerous weird things about it.
504
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:12,787
People always say that they
feel watched there, they have had
505
00:31:12,787 --> 00:31:16,117
people watch- like literal people
watch them from the woods
506
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:20,254
and stuff. So just it being out
in the middle of nowhere.
507
00:31:20,253 --> 00:31:21,343
There was another thing that
508
00:31:21,337 --> 00:31:23,877
Kyle alluded to but was very
509
00:31:24,465 --> 00:31:27,005
cautious about saying.
510
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:30,640
He kind of stopped short of
telling us about some of the
511
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:35,938
seedier paranormal stories,
stories that potentially involve
512
00:31:35,935 --> 00:31:40,935
some secret society in this town.
513
00:31:40,940 --> 00:31:43,610
I guess tangentially related,
and if you don’t want to
514
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:44,780
talk about this that’s fine.
515
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:49,867
Are there stories of secret societies
in this area?
516
00:31:49,866 --> 00:31:52,446
[Greg laughs]
517
00:31:52,785 --> 00:32:00,285
So we have some weird stories about
rings of questionable activity
518
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:05,883
in our area that date, as far as I know,
date back to at least the 50’s.
519
00:32:06,049 --> 00:32:08,089
- Do you think that we would have any
520
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:10,682
reason to be afraid of these
rings of people
521
00:32:10,678 --> 00:32:12,258
if we go poking around?
522
00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:17,023
Absolutely, yeah. I would
definitely even being here -
523
00:32:17,018 --> 00:32:21,358
I wouldn’t dare mention
these names on camera, you know?
524
00:32:21,356 --> 00:32:24,896
I don’t want to get involved...
525
00:32:24,901 --> 00:32:29,911
I mean we’re right now at a
25 year anniversary of some
526
00:32:29,906 --> 00:32:32,486
of the most gruesome murders
that have ever happened in
527
00:32:32,492 --> 00:32:34,872
Somerset that are still unsolved.
528
00:32:34,869 --> 00:32:38,919
And we think that that’s a part
of the same underground
529
00:32:38,915 --> 00:32:44,125
organization that has everything to
do with what I was just talking about.
530
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:47,588
- Do you believe that they might
have any connection to
531
00:32:47,590 --> 00:32:50,260
any of the paranormal stuff
that goes on in Somerset?
532
00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:54,221
I think it’s very possible. I heard a story
533
00:32:54,222 --> 00:32:58,732
from the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft
534
00:32:58,726 --> 00:33:01,186
that Aleister Crowley
might've been responsible
535
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:04,397
for the first Loch Ness monster sighting.
536
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:07,439
So I think that anything can happen.
537
00:33:07,443 --> 00:33:09,153
So I think that some of this
stuff is just the
538
00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,033
manifestation of the weird energy
539
00:33:12,031 --> 00:33:15,281
that has been poured into our
area for hundreds of years now.
540
00:33:15,284 --> 00:33:17,004
- Do you think this stuff
might be like a
541
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,405
side effect or a symptom
of some of the weirdness?
542
00:33:19,414 --> 00:33:21,924
I think symptom is a good word for it.
543
00:33:26,421 --> 00:33:29,721
[Greg] Kyle was very excited to
introduce us to his friend Nate.
544
00:33:29,716 --> 00:33:34,506
He had been working on a
podcast, that was basically a
545
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:37,472
year in the life of the town of
Somerset, this area.
546
00:33:37,473 --> 00:33:42,443
and he had a lot of really weird stories.
547
00:33:43,187 --> 00:33:46,067
[Nate] Everybody always says
well Sedona has the highest
548
00:33:46,065 --> 00:33:50,695
number of UFO sightings in the
U.S. So one night I was like, why?
549
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:52,525
Why? You know, why is that?
550
00:33:52,530 --> 00:33:56,080
And the reasoning behind it,
obviously what you guys are
551
00:33:56,075 --> 00:33:58,485
probably familiar with is
that it's the quartz.
552
00:33:58,494 --> 00:34:02,004
There’s a two-mile long deposit
of quartz underneath the
553
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:04,668
desert. I mean it even comes
out of the dirt when
554
00:34:04,667 --> 00:34:05,707
you’re there.
555
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:07,170
You can see it in the ground.
556
00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:11,420
Now that, what some people say
is, it’s effecting people’s brains
557
00:34:11,424 --> 00:34:18,144
and causing them to see balls of light.
Not UFO’s but just distortions of light.
558
00:34:18,139 --> 00:34:19,139
[Greg] Hallucinations.
559
00:34:19,140 --> 00:34:20,140
-Right, hallucinations.
560
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:22,229
Or the other option is that it’s
561
00:34:22,226 --> 00:34:24,646
causing some type of electrical effect.
562
00:34:24,645 --> 00:34:28,645
So I can, I can actually check
this out. You can go to NASA's
563
00:34:28,649 --> 00:34:33,029
website and you can download
any type of satellite map.
564
00:34:33,029 --> 00:34:36,569
So I went and I got the
electromagnetic map.
565
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:41,204
Immediately there was this,
three hotspots.
566
00:34:41,204 --> 00:34:45,634
One was in southern Alaska,
purple was the peak. right?
567
00:34:45,625 --> 00:34:47,415
Like really really bright purple.
568
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:50,708
So southern Alaska, Sedona, Arizona,
569
00:34:50,713 --> 00:34:53,343
and the southeastern United States.
570
00:34:53,341 --> 00:34:55,511
So I zoomed all the way down
571
00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:58,220
and it was fucking Somerset, Kentucky.
572
00:34:58,221 --> 00:35:02,931
Nate started out talking about
him looking into geomagnetic
573
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:04,814
anomalies in the area,
574
00:35:04,811 --> 00:35:07,441
which immediately I was like “oh score!
575
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:12,438
there’s another person looking into this,
and they see the significant of Somerset."
576
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:15,662
A lot of studies have shown that places
that are considered holy places where
577
00:35:15,655 --> 00:35:19,985
people have a lot of spiritual experiences
have high geomagnetic anomalies that
578
00:35:19,992 --> 00:35:24,042
may be effecting the brain. Literally
what the god helmet is built to do.
579
00:35:24,247 --> 00:35:27,077
But Nate was finding stuff that
I had no inkling of.
580
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:30,923
This whole region that is the
Pennyroyal Plateau,
581
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,220
stretches from like Elizabethtown,
Hopkinsville, that area
582
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:39,386
up to Lexington, over to
Eastern Kentucky.
583
00:35:39,387 --> 00:35:43,677
So really what’s right over top of the
Mammoth Cave system, right?
584
00:35:43,683 --> 00:35:46,233
Is the Pennyroyal Plateau.
585
00:35:46,227 --> 00:35:50,147
[Greg] Turns out, the Mammoth Cave
system sits right below Kentucky,
586
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:51,228
the center of Kentucky.
587
00:35:51,232 --> 00:35:56,362
and you know, there could be
a way that this is all connected.
588
00:35:56,362 --> 00:35:59,322
There are two large deposits
of quartz in the world.
589
00:35:59,323 --> 00:36:04,543
The largest deposit stretches underneath
the Pennyroyal Plateau
590
00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:07,577
into Southeastern Tennessee.
591
00:36:07,707 --> 00:36:09,877
If you have a piece of quartz
592
00:36:09,876 --> 00:36:15,716
and you hit it with a really
powerful magnetic field,
593
00:36:15,715 --> 00:36:18,795
it creates this crazy distortion.
594
00:36:18,801 --> 00:36:23,351
Electricity, energy, and it’s called
the Piezoelectric Effect, right?
595
00:36:23,389 --> 00:36:27,809
So this town is sitting squarely
596
00:36:27,810 --> 00:36:31,940
on top of a giant piece of quartz
597
00:36:32,815 --> 00:36:38,695
with the most powerful piece of
electromagnetic energy firing,
598
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:41,066
it’s- it’s like we’re on the tip of a gun.
599
00:36:41,532 --> 00:36:47,252
Somerset sits right on top of
this huge deposit of- of quartz.
600
00:36:47,246 --> 00:36:50,116
It's almost like an Indian burial ground
in the paranormal
601
00:36:50,124 --> 00:36:53,134
where it’s, “oh people think this
exists here”,
602
00:36:53,127 --> 00:36:56,507
but it doesn’t necessarily exist
in many of the places they claim.
603
00:36:56,631 --> 00:36:59,131
But it actually does in that town.
604
00:36:59,592 --> 00:37:04,722
You can even see, because of
the actual Van Allen belts,
605
00:37:04,722 --> 00:37:11,522
dip down over top of this region
to try to touch that magnetic field.
606
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,610
-So basically you’re seeing
space and the Earth
607
00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:19,489
trying to touch each other right here
in this place.
608
00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:22,157
-Yeah, which causes all kinds
of crazy distortions, right?
609
00:37:22,156 --> 00:37:23,156
- that’s wild.
610
00:37:23,449 --> 00:37:26,489
Out highway 39 is a super
strange place,
611
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:30,124
people see all kinds of weird stuff
out there.
612
00:37:30,122 --> 00:37:34,922
People have, I mean literally seen
extra-dimensional "interlopers,"
613
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:36,629
like people have seen things reported.
614
00:37:37,588 --> 00:37:42,838
One of the reports was of a white,
furry, six foot tall man
615
00:37:42,843 --> 00:37:49,643
sized thing with red eyes, that came
into existence crossing the road,
616
00:37:49,642 --> 00:37:52,352
stopped, and then passed
through out of existence.
617
00:37:52,353 --> 00:37:56,863
There have been a lot of UFO sightings
out there, a lot of cultist activity.
618
00:37:56,857 --> 00:37:58,477
- We keep hearing about that.
619
00:37:58,985 --> 00:38:00,025
- A lot of robed figures.
620
00:38:00,152 --> 00:38:03,662
Out at campground road
there are all kinds, and 39,
621
00:38:03,656 --> 00:38:06,696
there are all kinds of sightings
of people in robes, right?
622
00:38:06,701 --> 00:38:07,491
Over the years.
623
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:10,995
Jake's mom she said that the people
in this neighborhood,
624
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:12,417
where they were,
out in the country,
625
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:15,075
would constantly see things like that.
626
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:16,714
They would think people
were in their house,
627
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:19,461
they would find animals on the
property that had been cut,
628
00:38:19,463 --> 00:38:20,463
drained of blood.
629
00:38:20,589 --> 00:38:24,589
My wife's brother lived in
an apartment and they would
630
00:38:24,593 --> 00:38:27,143
always tell me about seeing--
631
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:31,518
they couldn’t describe what they
were, but in their minds they were
632
00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:33,847
“goblin-esque” or like dwarf-like,
633
00:38:33,853 --> 00:38:37,483
pass in and out of the apartment
that would move things around.
634
00:38:37,898 --> 00:38:42,568
Later when i was researching it,
the 37th parallel, cause once I
635
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:44,910
found out about the
electromagnetic shit, and then
636
00:38:44,905 --> 00:38:46,735
after I found out about the 37th parallel
I was like
637
00:38:46,741 --> 00:38:49,121
“well how close are we to the 37th
parallel man?!”
638
00:38:49,118 --> 00:38:53,578
And then you look at it and it
slices straight through town, right?
639
00:38:53,581 --> 00:38:56,501
But it goes straight through where
his apartment was.
640
00:38:56,500 --> 00:39:01,550
It turns out in that house, there were
twin girls from the 50’s through the 70’s
641
00:39:01,547 --> 00:39:06,007
that saw these
"beings of light and energy."
642
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:10,180
which everyone with a Christian
background termed "angels."
643
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:13,431
These beings of energy
would appear to them
644
00:39:13,434 --> 00:39:16,524
out of nowhere
and reveal the future.
645
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,980
And these girls, people would
come to this house
646
00:39:18,981 --> 00:39:22,281
for these girls to tell
them what was gonna happen.
647
00:39:22,276 --> 00:39:26,856
and they knew all of this strange stuff.
It’s two houses down from us.
648
00:39:26,864 --> 00:39:29,454
So in the house that we live in,
649
00:39:29,450 --> 00:39:32,080
when we moved down here--
three years after we after we
650
00:39:32,078 --> 00:39:35,578
were here, my wife was coming
out of the bathroom,
651
00:39:35,581 --> 00:39:37,581
middle of the day she had
taken a shower.
652
00:39:37,583 --> 00:39:41,673
She was coming out of the
bathroom, we have a thermostat-
653
00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:44,630
--second floor bathroom--
we have a thermostat on the wall.
654
00:39:44,632 --> 00:39:48,052
She walks out sees the thermostat,
655
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:52,932
the thermostat slides across
the wall like three feet
656
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:54,602
drops down 3 feet
657
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,940
and then bounces back into place
658
00:39:56,936 --> 00:40:00,106
with this “voo voo voo” shimmer.
659
00:40:00,106 --> 00:40:02,526
She freaks. Screams for me.
660
00:40:02,525 --> 00:40:06,355
Not because she thought
she saw something paranormal,
661
00:40:06,362 --> 00:40:09,622
because she thought that she
was having a fucking aneurism
662
00:40:09,615 --> 00:40:11,695
or that something had gone
wrong with her brain.
663
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:14,700
I rush up there, she tells me what
she saw, she’s freaking out.
664
00:40:14,703 --> 00:40:19,083
And obviously the wall is there,
it’s like nothing happened.
665
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:24,173
I wish I had taken note of when
this happened, like what time of year,
666
00:40:24,171 --> 00:40:27,431
but I know that it was like
three years after we were here.
667
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:31,885
So two or three years after that
she comes out of the bathroom,
668
00:40:31,887 --> 00:40:35,557
middle of the day, same
fucking thing happens.
669
00:40:35,558 --> 00:40:37,848
Where it slides across the wall,
670
00:40:37,852 --> 00:40:38,642
down,
671
00:40:38,644 --> 00:40:41,314
bounces back with this *do do do do*
672
00:40:41,313 --> 00:40:43,943
and slaps back into place.
673
00:40:43,941 --> 00:40:47,451
And I came home from work and
she was like “it happened again”
674
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:51,315
This is the other aspect
to take into account.
675
00:40:51,323 --> 00:40:55,453
Amy, my wife, when we lived in Lexington
she was a candy striper
676
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,003
at Eastern State.
677
00:40:57,997 --> 00:41:03,087
And I have verified this from two other
people that have worked at Eastern State.
678
00:41:04,712 --> 00:41:08,672
While she was there, you know
the doctors would say
679
00:41:08,674 --> 00:41:13,394
“Hey, where are you from?” and she would
say “Somerset, Pulaski County”
680
00:41:13,387 --> 00:41:18,387
and immediately they were like “What the
fuck is wrong with Pulaski County?
681
00:41:18,392 --> 00:41:20,142
"What’s in the water down there?”
682
00:41:20,144 --> 00:41:23,774
Because 70% of the people in
Eastern State,
683
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:27,862
They take people that are crazy
and have mental illness
684
00:41:27,860 --> 00:41:31,950
from the entire state. Like if you're in
Louisville, if you’re in Western Kentucky,
685
00:41:31,947 --> 00:41:35,077
if you’re in Pikeville, you end up at
Eastern State, right?
686
00:41:35,075 --> 00:41:39,615
70% of the population in
there are from this county.
687
00:41:39,622 --> 00:41:45,092
[Greg] "I don’t like talking bad about
Ashland, but we have an incredibly
688
00:41:45,085 --> 00:41:49,215
high rate of mentally ill people. The
mental health
689
00:41:49,215 --> 00:41:50,835
is out of control in Ashland."
690
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:56,351
This county has the highest,
or the largest, mental health
691
00:41:56,347 --> 00:42:00,557
service per capita in the entire state.
692
00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:03,979
So then you've really got to
start asking the question,
693
00:42:03,979 --> 00:42:07,689
is something effecting the people here?
694
00:42:07,816 --> 00:42:11,356
And then he started talking
about the cult.
695
00:42:11,362 --> 00:42:14,822
This is not paranormal sort of,
paranormal kind of weird, this is
696
00:42:14,823 --> 00:42:18,743
the stuff that just be careful
about what you use of this.
697
00:42:19,328 --> 00:42:23,618
Throughout the 80’s there was
something called the Bluegrass
698
00:42:23,624 --> 00:42:25,754
Conspiracy, you guys have
probably heard of it.
699
00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:31,971
That, my theory is that, that
culture, drug culture, and cartels,
700
00:42:31,966 --> 00:42:34,836
filtered out through other areas.
701
00:42:35,636 --> 00:42:43,386
And I uh- so during this time period
in the early 90’s, that we know of,
702
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:47,904
I think it stretched before that,
but definitely during that time
703
00:42:47,898 --> 00:42:54,198
period there was or is a group
operating, I don’t know if it was
704
00:42:54,196 --> 00:42:56,816
a pedophile ring.. there’s a lot of
people that reported, that we’ve
705
00:42:56,824 --> 00:43:01,544
talked to that they had robes on,
that there was ritualism involved.
706
00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:06,577
The two-two main witness were
Linda and Cody, and they were
707
00:43:06,584 --> 00:43:11,264
found out in the tree line and
both of their heads had been cut off.
708
00:43:11,255 --> 00:43:15,835
[Omitted] that works with Daniel
and I on a lot of stuff, he is
709
00:43:15,843 --> 00:43:18,853
talking to him and he’s like
“yeah man I’m dating this lady
710
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:24,096
and she said that she was in a
relationship with his doctor here
711
00:43:24,101 --> 00:43:27,481
in town three years ago and he
was taking her to all
712
00:43:27,479 --> 00:43:31,899
these sex parties. And they were
dressing up in robes and fucking
713
00:43:31,900 --> 00:43:35,990
all these kids and fucking each
other all "Eyes Wide Shut” and
714
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:39,328
she said she did it for few
months, got weirded out when
715
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:43,575
they were having sex with a lot
of kids and then broke up with him.”
716
00:43:43,579 --> 00:43:48,329
So then she said that she tried
to go to the cops and her house
717
00:43:48,334 --> 00:43:52,504
was broken into three times,
then... she’s never had any
718
00:43:52,504 --> 00:43:59,304
history of drug use or any crime,
they raid her house and find meth.
719
00:43:59,303 --> 00:44:04,733
She had to fight the charges, right?
to finally get out of it and
720
00:44:04,725 --> 00:44:09,685
then she’s crossing the fucking
street right down here and a
721
00:44:09,688 --> 00:44:12,778
fucking hit and run almost kills
her.
722
00:44:12,775 --> 00:44:17,815
It’s still fucking going on
man, the group still exists, even now.
723
00:44:17,821 --> 00:44:22,281
Uh you’re gonna lose your shit.
One day, I get an email from a
724
00:44:22,284 --> 00:44:26,584
woman, from Somerset. Who
tells me she’s seen these little
725
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:29,920
creatures, and they were in the
mine shafts and the caves.
726
00:44:29,917 --> 00:44:34,797
And she starts talking about running
into people in robes who were
727
00:44:34,797 --> 00:44:40,427
doing crazy-ass rituals out in
the forests here in Somerset and
728
00:44:40,427 --> 00:44:42,467
she thinks they have something
to do, she thinks they worship
729
00:44:42,471 --> 00:44:45,971
the green men, the little green
men. I don’t know what that

permeability of reality here.
