Speaker 1

Big Food and Beyond with Cliff and Bubo. These guys are your favorites, so like to subscribe and raid it.

Speaker 2

Live stock s and me just go on yesterday.

Speaker 1

Listening, oh watching, always keep its watching.

Speaker 2

And now you're hosts Cliff Barrickman and James Bubo Fay. What's happening in Cliff.

Speaker 3

Lots of stuff is happening man, Yeah, lots of Bigfoot stuff, lots of museum stuff, lots of Cliff stuff. What about you?

Speaker 2

Gosh uh, I didn't think of it. I don't even know what to say.

Speaker 3

You weren't prepared for did you know what the podcast tonight?

Speaker 2

I'm well, I've gone to the red Woods a couple of times and I got that picture from you, from the guy from Fern Kennedy upside down tree.

Speaker 3

Yeah yeah yeah. So so for our listeners, I would send this photograph for actually a little video of a tree, you know, shoved in the ground, roots up, you know, like the ones on Prince of Wales's Island or whatever. And I sent it off to Bobo because it was in his neighborhood. What did you find out about it?

Speaker 2

I think it was really old. I'm pretty sure I saw that tree like that, like years a few years ago or more, but it's fern canyons. It's like a it's part of that whole reged National park like World Heritage. So it's beautiful. You've seen it in it's in Jurassic Park, the first one where the fact guy rolls down and from sion feldon Newman it gets eaten by the little critters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So anyways they got it's like a vertical forty football canyon.

I've seen when the trees come down. They don't slide down a hilly that's come down, They just fall and sometimes they come down head first, you know, the top of the root wad in the air, and I think that was just something natural. Then the rest of the landslide got washed away, or maybe they'll have handtraw crews like the CCC guys, like the you know the kids that are like in work camp. They'll have those guys out there and clear stuff out. So I could just

see those guys. It was already partially that way. I'm going, hey, let's just dig around it a little bit and pack it in there, and you know, we clear the restless to be sitting there like that. You know, I could totally see that happening.

Speaker 3

Yeah, Now, what are your thoughts about those root ball up sort of tree things, like, do you think those are sasquatch related or otherwise?

Speaker 2

I think most aren't, but I think a few of them are.

Speaker 3

Really no, no, if they are sasquatch. And see, because I don't think any of them are, I'm going to be their curmudgeon. I'm going to be the skeptic. I'm going to be the dick, you know. So like, I don't think any of them are, because why in the world would a bigfoot expend that many calories doing such a thing intimidation?

Speaker 2

Just how big and strong they are?

Speaker 3

Possibly, yeah, okay, that's really a reasonable assumption.

Speaker 2

You're not.

Speaker 3

It doesn't convince me, but I can see how that would be a reason.

Speaker 2

And it stands out like you know, you're you'ren smell, you're marketing your church truck can wash away and the rain stuff. But the upside down trees stuck in the ground, I'm more. I think more of the ones where you see the branches the button broken off branches shut in the ground, making the x the trail with like one butt on each side of the trail. I think that squatch.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I think that's very possible as well. I've always I've very skeptical about these upside down three things because it's something you told me. Loggers do weird stuff when there's nothing going on.

Speaker 2

Oh dude, that's going to who would do such thing like we did?

Speaker 3

Yeah, because you worked on logging crews for years.

Speaker 2

Right, Yeah, yeah, we're Yeah. I mean it was super hot. We are laying up in the shade. We build dams and carved wooden boats, then let the dam build up for like an hour and then busted open and have a flash led down the mountain. Whose both those the first one? Like just stuff like that.

Speaker 3

Yeah, because at the end of the day, I mean, whether you're fifty or twenty, it doesn't really matter because you're still ten no matter what you are. So some fifty year olds have having access to excavators and tractors and front loaders and like the sky's a limit. I mean it's it's Tonka truck. These are all Tonka trucks, but life size. And then you get a bunch of boored dudes out in the woods that like, okay, no one's working until five or six or tomorrow or something.

And you have these excavators at your disposal. You're gonna build some weird stuff.

Speaker 2

Yeah, put big boulders up onto of stumps and stuff like that. Seeing all that stuff. But you know what, this is Bigfoot beyond. We're talking the big Foot. But we got some beyond coming up today.

Speaker 3

We got I am excited. I am super excited about this one. Actually, now you don't know that, Cliff, I do know. You told me.

Speaker 2

Oh it's trying to surprise you.

Speaker 3

Oh you shouldn't have told me. Then that's a really bad way to surprise me.

Speaker 2

But it's our our good bro And go to Ghost Advisor and the seventh or eighth sexiest man in Paranormal, Nick Groff, is with us tonight.

Speaker 4

Nick, guys, I like like six to seventh or eighth or whatever be the other ones. I'm up against you, Bobo.

Speaker 2

No, I just saw this one time.

Speaker 4

Oh yeah, number twelve. I think number twelve. Yeah, I'm trying to work my way up to the top. But I maybe.

Speaker 3

Well you are will take him out for you.

Speaker 4

Yeah, there you go. Maybe my second life. Who knows you did get in.

Speaker 2

The Big Bay Suit competition. You're going to really shine on the question and answer part.

Speaker 4

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2

I know.

Speaker 4

That's why I'm losing. I got to read the dictionary a little bit better, so my vocabulary spawns more.

Speaker 2

So.

Speaker 3

How's that for a welcome. I've probably never been welcomed like that anywhere?

Speaker 2

Have you? No?

Speaker 4

I know it's too bad you can't see me right now, but I am wearing a speedo and I'm just sitting here.

Speaker 3

You know, that's where when I think about you, that's always how I picture you.

Speaker 2

You ever addressed for this podcast?

Speaker 4

I know, Well, you're just you're natural today, Bobo, just in the wall, Commando. There you go. You know, funny funny thing is is not a lot of people know that I was a swimmer from age six years old to thirteen. So speedo was just like an ordinary thing, you know, back when I was a kid and stuff. It was no big deal in the age nineties or whatever.

But we were competitive swimmers, my sister and I. So it's kind of funny to me, like if you would picture that today, just showing up at the beach or something like that, you know, well, can you imagine.

Speaker 2

The best thing I saw was? I don't know if you guys remember this old band Tsol You might remember them, Cliff.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah, yeah, totally like yeah that if they weren't a Long Beach fan. They played in Long Beach all the time, vendors and everything.

Speaker 2

Yeah, there's some of the Barns and those guys from Long Beach, but they Jack the singer's just like one of the ten craziest guys wild. This dude's all time rock and roll history. We went surfing one time in hunting to Beach in the middle of summer, and he was wearing just a pair of pink speedos and black letters across the butt said f off, but it's spelled out the F word.

Speaker 4

Nice.

Speaker 2

It's pretty classy. You got so many looks.

Speaker 3

And I bet it was about your speedo, Nick, what was your speed.

Speaker 4

Let's talk about mine. Well, I mean I was eight, so I don't really remember, No, it was. It's funny. Just used to be a competitive swimmer for a long time. Actually, my sister went to University of Arizona u of A for a full scholarship for swimming. She missed the Olympics time like half a second or something like that in backstroke, but I mean she was one of the top elite and they were breeding me the same way. I just didn't.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

Speaker 4

At age thirteen, I just kind of got sick of the cold water, to be honest with you. I was so sick of the cold water swimming in it. So I was like, I want to do basketball in every other sport.

Speaker 3

So if you were born in another state, you know, maybe you would have taken to it more.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I think so if I was in like Arizona or somewhere where it's warm. But I mean I was in New Hampshire. I grew up in New England and man, it's freaking cold in the winter times or like because we would go to swim before we would start school. So we would go there at like five am, swim for two hours, go to school, come back and swim them at night too. Every single day. It was insane.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 4

So I think that's where a lot of my craziness comes from, of being an adventurer and going into i don't know, crazy abandoned buildings or caverns or mind you.

Speaker 2

Pushing yourself, you gott toughness. Yeah. Nick's a great athlete. I mean, besides being the competitive swimer as a kid, he went to college on a full ride in Nevada for soccer, and then I've seen him movies. Great. I mean he could have played college ball, I'm sure. And we posted a couple of videos like Nick shooting half court shots through and remember that. That was incredible.

Speaker 3

Did you see that, Cliff, I did see that. Yeah, it was incredible.

Speaker 4

That was fun Well, it's a funny story because I got bored. It was crypticon and we moved it there in Lexington cryptocon convention, and basically I was just chilling and I got bored. So I was in jeans, I was waiting around, and I went and I found a half court indoor basketball court, and I was like, this is awesome. So I started playing ball by myself and walks Bobo and somebody else and I'm there, shirtless and jeans,

just shooting around and I'm like, Bobo, film this. And I go into the arcades and I on my third try just through it through this little hole in this net that.

Speaker 2

Well, it was like a ten foot wall dividing like a room with thirty foot high ceilings, and so there's a ten foot wall then a twenty foot of net. So the balls didn't go out of the half court into the arcade. But there was a hole not much bigger than a basketball in that net and Nick threw it. Couldn't see the backboard, you couldn't see anything through it through the hole and swished it.

Speaker 4

It was amazing. Yeah, that's a good time. I don't know, I felt like we just won, you know, gold medal in the Olympics or something. Bob and I were like running around, jumping around. It was so ridiculous, it was, but it was it was fun, you know, it was Yeah.

Speaker 3

You may not know about my swimming background.

Speaker 2

Nick.

Speaker 3

Actually I wore speedos just for fun, of course, but in general I was actually a college champion.

Speaker 4

You know.

Speaker 3

You know what synchronized swimming is, right, Yes, yeah, I used to do that solo.

Speaker 2

Get out of the.

Speaker 3

Sacredized swimming. It's a very very small sport, but a lot of people are into it. It's basically just me, so, I mean I whenever I participate, I take the gold every time.

Speaker 4

There you go. How do you hold yourself up out of water? You just with pride? Nice, that's amazing. It's the speedo's, man, you.

Speaker 3

Know, that's how I hold myself up.

Speaker 4

Man. The way they design those you can just like float through the air. I can totally see you doing that, just like totally Cliff ripped like the pack looking like yeah, I'm three hundred the movie and just well, well, it's.

Speaker 3

Not so much to say that I have a different kind of six pack, going, oh yeah, beer six pack, tell us a beer six And people say that I'm not in good shape, but I disagree because I think rounds are perfectly good shape.

Speaker 4

Yeah that's true, man, that is true.

Speaker 2

So is ol?

Speaker 4

What is square?

Speaker 2

Then? When it's triangle, that's inverted triangles? Nick, Baby, there's.

Speaker 3

A pretty typical podcast I think for you, isn't it, Nick?

Speaker 4

That we we kick it off with speedos and syncrenized swimming and triangles.

Speaker 2

Yeah, so I got some I got something paranormal to ask Nick before because this is serious.

Speaker 4

Okay.

Speaker 2

I got a really good friend. And you know him too, Cliff, he's up. He contacts you about ordering a set of cast from up in Washington, Okay, out of Seattle. His little girl, she's eighth ninth grade, has been having beats with this. There's a woman going. They lived next to a cemetery, like right, I mean there's bodies buried like forty feet in their house and uh, the oldest people. Yeah, And so they see the ghost woman in the in

the window. And I was there one time. We were not playing in the yard and the curtain was like moving around, and I was like, I didn't see anything, but they're like, oh, yeah, that's she's watching us. You know, she looks out the window all the time. But the little girl was it was messing with her in the room.

She told her away, leave her alone, and it tore like the grammar was in the room there too, and it tore down the curtains, like rip them down off the wall and through in the middle of the room and then grab her by the neck and squeeze your neck hard and sugar, that's a poulter Geist, right if it does, if it makes physical contact, I.

Speaker 4

Mean, poultergeist are like a malicious spirit. It's so hard to define things these days, you know what I mean. I think I'm at a different perspective in life right now, where I'm looking at stuff outside the box, where we want to try so hard to put categorizes like that's a Poulter guys, that's a voice or whatever. We want to put stuff into a box but I mean poultry guys supposedly is more malicious and more of stuff that

moves things, throws things, stuff like that. I mean, if that actually really did happen, I mean, did you witness this or was this just what grammar?

Speaker 2

Was there and my buddy was downstairs, run down, scream and cry, Yeah, hysterical and they heard they heard the curtains get down.

Speaker 4

Okay, I mean, like, look if this, if this really happened, that that's what the experience was. You know, obviously there's entities where they can physically grab you or or cause harm or something like that. It's any I believe more in energy. So I think that some sort of energy probably affected her, and maybe obviously a triggering effect of like ripping the curtains down or something like that and

causing that. It can be somebody that's grumpy too, you know, like there's a lot of bad people in this world. So a lot of bad people die and that energy lingers behind. So it's the subconscious of that energy possibly lashing out at her. It could be some grumpy old man that's just mad. Maybe not necessarily like how we perceive things where it's like, oh it's a demon or oh it's this polter guy said, you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean typically.

Speaker 2

Just by the neck and scared the crap out of her. Right.

Speaker 4

I'm curious why though, Like why would.

Speaker 2

She's a fiery little kid. I mean, she's just huge personality, like very brave, like, I mean, she lives. She lives, you know, she's lived since she's a little kid. And she's not really a she's not any of it's not she wasn't afraid of it. Now she's freaked out.

Speaker 3

Yeah, stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo. Will be right back after these messages. Well, you know, I think now is a good time for those people who are listening, you know, in the more or less Bigfoot crowd who may not know who Nick is, you know, I mean, maybe this is a good time to kind of tell everybody about that, because we've jumped into this ghost thing all of a sudden. Well, like Nick.

Nick is a very well known paranormal investigator. I mean most people know him from Ghost Adventures, you know, or a Paranormal Lockdown or Ghost Stalkers or one of the TV shows. He has a production company. He's on all sorts of TV shows. He's got a new project Walkers out there. So this episode will mostly be about ghosts and weird stuff. You know, we'll probably touch on the Bigfoot thing because that's what we do. But this is really a beyond of Bigfoot and beyond. And Nick is

no slouch. He's legitimate, he's anti hoaxing. And if I think just the stuff that you were just now saying is really interesting because you said several times more than once, you said, if this is real, if it really did happen. And I love that perspective because our ghosts reel I think. So, I mean, enough weird stuff happens to enough weird like not weird people that we can say it's something is going on. But what that is I don't I personally

don't know. Maybe you certainly have more insight into it than I do, and that's one of the fun things about having you on. So I just want to let kind of a small introduction for the bigfoot centric crowd that we tend to get. That's who we're talking to. Nick is a parent. I don't even know what to call you.

Speaker 2

I would.

Speaker 3

Nick, you know, I'm happy to call you a friend, but like to the fact that you're I guess a paranormal list. I like your approach already, just because you basically reference something about basically putting words on things, like defining things like the paranormal whatever that is. It has to be such a large field that it would be very difficult to define or put words on any of the phenomenon associated exactly. Yeah, and I think that's a really interesting take and a really good tact to come

at this thing from. So thank you very much for that.

Speaker 4

Nick, Yeah, no, thank you. I really appreciate, you know, obviously, the introduction and stuff and the support and everything. And you guys are great people. Knowing you guys for a while, and yeah, there's no bs. I love conversations about everything paranormal, from CRYPTI to UFO to ghost whatever the topic is that is unexplainable that we can't comprehend as human beings. I love talking about it. I mean, really, that's how

I grew up. I actually wasn't into spirits, ghosts and all that stuff when I first kind of got interested in the subject matter. I was more heavily into space time UFOs, looking up at the stars and saying, what else is out there beyond just life us, human beings, death, beyond the scope of like what we try to categorize or we tried to put in a box. And I was I'm just such a deep thinker man, and I

love conversations because I don't know everything. Like, let's face the facts, nobody does, right, We're all evolving as human beings, and we're growing, We're creating new technology, we're creating theories, ideas, we're expanding our vocabulary. We're trying to evolve further beyond the scope that we see in the infinity of trillions of stars and life form that we know of. So the idea that I look at things now is totally different than when I looked at stuff ten years ago.

You know, I was that young kid on Ghost Adventures or whatever, running around saying come you get me abandon haunted locations. But my perception has changed dramatically, And I think that's just over time of going through experiences, understanding things, breaking it down in my head, but saying, you know what, I'm not going to be redundant. I'm not going to keep walking in a reported haunted location of running a spare box. What good does that do? For anybody or myself.

I think personally, I'm trying to I'm trying to go beyond physically and mentally, pushing the boundaries of how can we think outside the box to discover new things that we don't we haven't found yet, like a scientist diving to the bottom of the seas that we don't even know what new species are out there and discovering new things, or going into the forest that's uncharted territory discovering new species that we don't even know about, or going beyond

like you know, our planets with spaceships or time travel or whatever the heck it is, through wormholes, drones, stuff like that. I mean, we'd be naive to think that we are it and this is this is all there is.

Speaker 3

But so along those lines. But the paranormal aspect in particular, do you think we're any closer to that goal now than when say Charles Fort was writing, you know, one hundred years ago, right.

Speaker 4

I think it's more of an open topic now. I think we can all get into conversations and even if you don't believe anything happens, like I have a lot of friends that are complete skeptics in the sense in the sense of thinking about death, what happens after death. I mean, some of my friends say, nothing happens when you die, and I'm just trying to be a good person in this life because when you die, you know, that's the idea of what you're leaving behind. It's the

impact you left as a human being. And I'm like, well that's great. Well that's still believing something happens when you die. So it's like, you know what else is out there and forget that for a second. I think the paranormal scope of things is so weird in this

world that we live in. It so vast that there's a lot of weird phenomena that occurs that we can't even explain that sometimes, like even the own intuition that we get as human beings based on like feelings of loved ones or knowing predicting something's going to happen before it happens, or just feeling connected with somebody that you absolutely love and you don't know why you feel that way, but then you talk to that person, You're like, I was just having this, Oh, now I get why I

was feeling this way. Just weird, Even the simplest things like that or you guys going into the woods and seeing some weird creature is something that doesn't look of norm and then saying, wait, what was that that didn't look like a deer and an animal whatever. You know, we start describing and then we base it off of you know, everyone else's experiences to generations, and you start

categorizing things because we have to. We have to feel safe and we have to feel like we know what we're experiencing and we know what this is, you know. So I think I think that ultimately it's more of a topic now, and I think I really believe just being in all subjects from UFO all the way up, I think that everything is crossing over now from one to the other. I don't think that there's a cryptid

UFO in ghosts or whatever paranormal in that sense. I think it's just all one thing, meaning it's all something that we can't fully understand yet as human beings, you knowfication theory.

Speaker 3

Yeah, grand unification theory of paranormals or or whatever.

Speaker 2

I think. I think what they call paranormal now is just pre normal because we don't have the stuff to exaggerate it, so it'll just like cryptoi, zoology. Things We've been from cryptozoology to zoology fairly often.

Speaker 3

Well, Nick, what's your what's your take one? Because science is a really good, uh toolbox, right, and it can be applied to a lot of really interesting things and you can actually make some progress on it. But the things that you were mentioning, the way you feel about somebody, synchronicities, we're in paranormal science doesn't seem to apply, Like, those tools don't seem to work as well towards some of

those subjects all the time. Do you think that there's another toolbox out there that might be able to be applied towards these other topics that would get us further.

Speaker 4

Yeah. I think it's just it comes down to experiments, and I think it has to be like enclosed experiments where you're studying it for years, because it's so hard to go into like a location or go to your everyday life and have an experience and then be like, look, I can't be in bobo shoes or your shoes, Cliff, but if you told me a story about what you experience, I have to listen to you and say, Okay, I either believe you or I make up my own conclusion randomly.

But that's judging you, which I think is unfair because I wasn't there. I didn't know what you went through. But I'm listening to you because I have to as a human being, and that's the right thing to do. So I think ultimately experiences with people, it just comes down to that. I think some thing's my conclusion at this point of my life, being forty years old, been through a lot of crazy stuff. I ultimately think right now, and it could change ten years from now when I'm fifty.

It's just like I'm looking at life as a journey. We're all on our separate journeys through life. We have to experience everything that comes with the journey. We can't predict the future, but we can pave our own way in the quest of our journey. And we're all ultimately here for a purpose, right We're here to do something, whatever that is. It Ripple affects the universe in a

weird way. So I think that the information we're gathering on our journey is subconsciously implanted in the most powerful thing in the world, the brain. So when the body dies, we produce energy. Energy is a real thing. Energy can't be destroyed when you get into the science of it, kinetic energy when we move and so on. But the consciousness is really what's fascinating in the brain. Where is the consciousness and the energy that's attached to these bones,

the skin, flesh and blood that obviously that dies. This is a capsule we're living in. But where's the energy go, where's the consciousness go? Where's that lingered? Does it move on, does it transcend? Does it multiply into something? And I don't know. It's like such a weird, weird thing when you start thinking about because there's so many different theories,

so many different ideas. When you talk into like people that had end experiences, near death experiences, and they died and they talk about seeing their uncle or their mother coming from you know, thousands of miles away on an airplane and what they're wearing and what's going on, and then they're floating through the air and then they're brought back in their body tell their amazing story about like life after death. You know, I've talked to multiple people

like that. So I think that technology science we're getting closer to discovering new things. But that's like anything discovering how a computer works, discovering how to make a massive computer looks smaller, and then all of a sudden it's in the palm of your hand as a phone. Discovering how we can make things faster. Technology evolve, people evolve, the brain evolve. You know, how do we make ourselves look younger? How do we It's everything, it's you know,

it's endless. It's just a matter of how we approach things and how badly we want something to be as is. It's just the research. I think there's probably a lot of stuff that we don't know about that has been going you know, like Area fifty one's and stuff like that, you know, all over the world that have all these experiments, all these like things that they're working on that we just don't know about yet, you know, like the ghost particle.

I mean it's a massive facility I think down in Florida or Italy or somewhere, and they found the ghost particle with all those cameras set up, and for years they were document until they saw this little small speck of a particle captured on their cameras that they have set up in this massive facility. So I don't know, it's just weird. You know, it's a weird world we live in. I think everybody has been fascinated since the

time the time that we've been born or whatever. Everyone thinks about once in their life what happens when we die? Or what is the purpose of life? Or what am I doing with my life? You know, stuff like that. So it's an endless conversation.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that's paranormal in general. We're not talking about any specific aspect of it, or are you.

Speaker 4

I think it's everything. I mean I used to talk specifics, but I am at the point of my life it encompasses everything, and I think I'm just looking at stuff differently now, just based on experiments and things I've gone through personally and ideas and people I've talked to that are even way more out there in IQ than I am. You know, like a lot of this stuff goes over

my head. I talk to people like John Tenny or people that are like scientists when they get into physics and quantum physics and you know, all this craziness.

Speaker 3

Yeah, a lot of the stuff you're saying reminds me of Hellier. You know, Greg and Daniel this project where they go looking for you know, goblins in Kentucky and they end up finding balloons and wherever they go. You know, like it almost seems like it was a everybody's on their Grand unification theory quest where you look for one specific thing and find out that everything's connected.

Speaker 4

Yeah, it is. It is fascinating once you get into that subject. I think there has Yeah, I mean it can be a rabbit hole, but I think I think some of it has to have some clarity, you know, some understanding, like not everything is paranormal. Like let's just face the facts. You know, if we're sitting together in

some abandoned building, we start hearing creeks and craziness. Obviously it's an old building, and we could probably like rule out I'd say eighty five percent of what's happening there to be natural or some cause of something environmental issue.

But I mean, I've slept in so many haunted locations all over the world, you know, for very for five years straight, and then I've been to one hundreds thousands of locations that are reported to be the most horrific and scary and people being scratched and thrown and stuff being thrown. It's just like I've been to so many I think I've gotten to the point where I've seen

a lot of weird stuff. I've once saw somebody that shouldn't have been there in the room with me at this old hospital, Lindavsa Hospital in two thousand and nine. I turned around, I saw a woman standing there, solid figure, wearing a hospital gown. Everything our eyes connected. I obviously freaked out and jumped back because I thought it was a homeless person that broke into the location. So it took me off guard. I think over time, you start

thinking a little bit deeper. When you really get into this stuff, you just it's a lot of talk about life death. You start seeing people pass away around you that are family members, loved ones, you start thinking about it. I think a little bit deeper, and all humans, I believe want hope. You know, when you get into religion, you get into the subject matter of like, whatever your ideas are or your beliefs, it doesn't really matter across the whole entire board. It's just a matter of like

that hope. I hope there's something else. I hope there's something greater. I hope. You know, you just you want that hope In a sense, and it's been like that for I mean, since people have been on this planet.

Speaker 3

Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo will be right back after these messages. Yeah, and that's one of the things. I think that one of the litmus tests of any phenomenon, whether it's Bigfoot or UFOs or ghosts or anything else. And you want to see how real it could be, maybe before you jump into that pool and you look at the history of the subject. You know, if the history start to nineteen sixty six, you know, and it's regional, and that's well,

it's probably not real, you know. But if you can go back to any depth of time and find stories about these same things, you know, lights in the sky or spirits haunting you, or hairy people in the woods, then I think the longer and further you go back and it's still there, the more real this sort of thing is. And that's why I give a lot of credence to ghosts and UFOs and lake monsters and hairy people, you know, because all of those things go back as far back as history itself.

Speaker 4

Yeah, and you're absolutely right. If you think of anything right, any story has to start somewhere. So if we're talking about this reported haunted you know graveyard that's been around since eighteen hundreds or whatever, and you hear the stories over time, it might change a little bit, but the story had to start somewhere from somebody, so either based on experience or just based on an idea, or they

just wanted to tell the story. But it youre canclusion to make up what you believe is real or not right based on your own personal experience when they realize it or exactly, Yeah, you subconsciously do that. Yeah, I totally agree. And and you know, talking about your when you're talking about ghost Cliff, if you think about it in this way, right, we're ghosts is a real thing, even though like people might say, no, ghosts don't exist.

I don't believe ghosts, But think about this, think about the realism behind what a ghost defined as we are all ghosts. And the reason why we're all ghosts is because every second that we're speaking right now, we're all passing away, we're all dying. Think about it, like we're already, we're already you know, a couple of seconds in time right now from a couple of seconds ago when I just said it. So we're all passing away slowly. It's just a matter of like what you envision it be.

So we're pretty much ghosts in a sense, or fading, you know, we're fading. Yeah, And it's just the concept of like what you believe happens when we die, what

you believe happens outside that we can't perceive. And if you look at like a lot of new scientists, there's I've read an article that came out about some scientists that are graphing out the brain waves and actually are graphing out thirteen different dimensions within the subconscious that we create during the day of dimensions, So like when you go to daydream when you're driving in your car, you're waking up and you see the reality you were in.

Now you see the two D world. But if you think, oh, this is happening, you start creating this alter world that's happening in your brain. That's one dimension. Supposedly we create thirteen dimensions, and they're actually able to graph out what your brain is mapping out in each one of those dimensions, which is kind of trippy. It's like, are we have a matrix? You know, I don't know man, it's like this world is so weird, weird that we live in, and I'm just I'm always thinking of, you know, what

else is there? I don't know. I think that's the way to push the boundaries, to think a little bit deeper and just keep keep evolving, because I don't think there's one right way than another.

Speaker 2

You know, well, there is. We just don't know what it is yet.

Speaker 4

Exactly, and I don't think I don't know if we'll ever know. I think the point of life is to live life and not forget that you're alive, and to be happy too, you know. I think sometimes we get to be too serious and we forget to we forget to laugh and have fun and enjoy life. You know, we get caught up in all the drama or the day activities or whatever the heck's going on in the

worldly problems. But I think that the purpose of life is to go through the experience, collect the information your brain and try to be a better person, and you know, ripple effect the world for a greater idea that we're supposed to be here. And then when you pass on, man, whatever happens next, take that with you, whatever that vision is, you know.

Speaker 3

Do you think that there are circumstances where a person might believe something to the extent that they actually created, like it manifests out of the belief itself.

Speaker 4

Absolutely, one hundred percent. So the new series that I started doing, death Walker, one of the locations that we go to I've been investigating for over a decade, actually two of them. So we take two locations in death Walker, and we compare the two locations based on a theory, and the narrative tells the story from two locations to see if there's any actual truth behind some of the things that are happening at these locations. So one location

is Bobby Mackie's Music World. And while they're Kentucky, amazing location. I love, you know, the owner of Bobby Mackie, he's a great friend of mine, Matt Coates, their security guard. I've known them for over a decade and I've been going there since, you know, I was pretty much a young, young kid, and over time I realized that the environment is changing there. The sense of whatever the energy form that is there that I thought, you know, over a

decade ago, was like a ghost. Then I thought it was something evil, Then I thought it was somebody that died there, and then now I think it's actually in the sense of a thought form entity basically what you're talking about, Cliff. So I know there's a lot of factual some death that occurred there outside of the place and inside, and some mystery behind who actually died there, and then there's a ton of legends attached to it

that we set the facts straight. But over time I noticed that thousands of people have been coming there based on watching like TV shows and seeing what has happened there, and they're projecting their own intent into the environment, saying there's something evil here, there's something evil, Oh, scratch me, hurt me. Over time, you know what that does, It changes the environment, It changes and transforms energy from people

into something else. So I believe that what happened there, just based on investigating it recently last year for earth Walker, that a thought form entity has morphed into its own, its own intelligent form and now has evolved into something else, Meaning it's collectively gathering all this energy from thousands of people and mirror imaging the intent back of what's it's

picked up on. So I think there was something there on that ground before that foundation was put in, and then over time it's just turned into this like weird energy thing that just lingers there and you know, five folds whoever brings their intent in and pushes it back onto that person as like a mirror image of whatever they're putting out.

Speaker 3

Do you think that's the root of evil entities and whatnot, people being afraid of whatever, you know, thing might be present at a location. Or do you think that there's actually some sort of evil behind some of the you know,

demons and all that stuff. My wife's in the horror, so I kind of think about these things when ghosts come up, you know, like, do you think that it's the intent that's put into it or do you think that there might be something there beforehand that might indicate whether it's benevolent or malevolent.

Speaker 4

I think it's both. I really think it's both. I think that we produce the energy and put it into the environment to hurt our own self. I've seen it with people, to be honest with you, I've seen it in group of investigations. I've seen it where everybody else is fine and one person that one person is like I'm feeling this, I'm getting scratched. Every but they're they're projecting it. But I see them too before they go into the investigation already wanting that, do you know what

I mean? So it's like self afflicting, and there's a lot of psychology behind it too. It's like what state of mind you're in, who you are as a person, you know, mental health, you know, there's a lot of psychology behind it. Man, you could break somebody down so so much into that sense, just like anything else. But I do believe that good people in this world die

and bad people in this world die. So if we go to a prison together and we go into a jail cell and there was an inmate of Joe Schmoe who was a murderer and he was kept in this prison and he murdered somebody in this prison then he died in this prison cell, you're going to feel that energy energy lingers. And that's a real thing. I think, the subconscious lingers. I think the energy lingers. So I think it's like you pick up on that sense, and you pick up on like, oh, I don't I don't

feel right in the shale cell. I mean, Bobo, you could probably say that and maybe Cliff and I are fine. I don't know. Yeah, it always feels like and it doesn't. Yeah, I mean, you just don't know. I think it's it's you know, it's a double sided coin.

Speaker 2

Man.

Speaker 4

It's like people inflect their own self, their own intent, and also positive to positive, negative to negative. Positive people die, negative people die, and that that energy lingers. So I think that's a factor too, and you just got to look at both sides of it, you know what. Also, I think, and this gets really trippy, I think just based on doing Death Walker recently, we did two other locations where we compare it about time slip. So getting into the idea of time, the notion of time.

Speaker 3

I was just going to ask you about time actually, honestly, because that these are echoes of you know, past events. What does that say about the nature of time itself?

Speaker 4

Exactly? Well, we create time as human beings because time doesn't really exist. We're in an earth that spins around a sun that goes up and down. But it's only because you know, the way we are situated this earth. But we need time. And the reason we need time is because we are born into this world, we grow older, we die, That's that's time. Time is always against us.

And these human bodies. So we need time because we need to know when to go to sleep, when they go to work, when to take the kids to lunch, whatever it is. And it's funny when you go into a location like I did on Death Walker, and I'm sitting there in a solitary can in the bottom dungeon of a prison that's been sitting there for like eighteen eighteen whatever it is dates back to and then prior to that, it was Native American land and a lot

of bloodshed. They said at this one location, Brushy Mountain Prison and Tennessee, that there was blood that would fill the whole entire ground from how many people died and what happened there and so on and so forth. It's pretty wild. And also you get into the idea of like DNA that's attached to the blood and how like even if you're miles away, the DNA can affect you, know, like you can still pick up on those emotions that you're feeling. The blood can. There's a whole science behind

all that stuff. But I mean, the whole notion of time man is interesting. So I'm in solitary confinement and I have this audio device that I'm communicating with somebody. I have no clue who, but it's intelligently responding directly back to us in real time. So I'm asking questions

and with this device I was created. I built this device called the GeoPort, and I'm getting responses coming through it, you know, And I'm asking about the prisoner, and I'm asking about who's here and what do you need and you know, water, and it starts giving me really good details. And I ask if he's a ghost? Did you die here? And he's like, no, you're a ghost. So he basically whoever's talking to me is saying I'm a ghost, and

I'm saying he's a ghost. And what I started to realize is just based off of, like, you know, evidence

on my personal experience, what I was hearing. What happens if I'm communicating with somebody from whatever time period that that person is living right now, right I'm in my reality asking these questions in an abandoned solitary confinement, you know, historical prison, and somebody is there when it's in operation, that's put in solitary confinement, and there you got to think that these people lost their minds, like they lose their sense of time, they lose their sense of and

they're put in darkness, food, lack of food, water. You start to inhabit like all these other senses, your sense of hearing, your sense of like emotions, you know, everything starts to play more to the forefront. You adapt to that. And I start to think, what happens if I'm communicating with somebody who's living right now in that time period.

Speaker 3

If time's there right now exactly exactly.

Speaker 4

They're there right now and I'm here right now, and we're able to communicate because he can hear me because isn't his senses are enhightened. But I can hear him because I have this crazy technology in the future. And I'm like, how can you communicate through this? And he's like, I don't know. You know what I mean. You're bending time. It's like school project where you take the piece of paper, you fold it and have put the pencil through it and boom, like the wormhole be a strip right exactly.

Speaker 3

I always thought if I was a stripper riding myself mobius.

Speaker 4

What would Bobo be Moby Dick.

Speaker 3

Depends on his speedo. I suppose stay tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff and Bogo will be right back after these messages. So and Nick, A lot of this is a lot of the stuff you're talking about.

And mind you, I'm just a big for guy. I don't know much about paranormal stuff or whatever, but a lot of the stuff you're talking about seems to be centered around well, not death necessarily, not in the sort of morbid sort of way, you know, but like the continuity I suppose, so the continuation of consciousness in some sort of way before and after this arbitrary line called death.

But there's still something going on. If I remember right, I picked up somewhere along the line that you yourself had a near death experience.

Speaker 2

Is that correct?

Speaker 4

Yeah? When I was eight years old, hyperactive kid, go figure, but didn't realize that when you found me in the basketball court, Irypt, I was waiting for my sister to get out of swimming. My mom was reading a book. About one hundred yards away. I saw a tree I had a climate, who knows why, and I started climbing

it and I reached out to a branch. Branch broke and under me was a cyclone fence ripped open my whole entire left arm and I hit the ground, didn't realize what happened, and I just remember getting up, not feeling my body and seeing my mom and just said Mom, I love you. And I passed out, blocked out. And what I saw next was I opened my eyes and there was all these faces hovered around me looking down at me. And what was strange is I don't know.

It was just so weird where they were just looking at me and just like very bright, you know, like behind them it could have been like bright lights if I was inside and all these faces are looking at me. Then the next thing I know it I'm I'm in the ambulance and then I black out, and then I'm in the hospital. I see my sister crying on my dad and I look over and they're like, I just feel my arm being tugged on and stuff, and they're

repairing my whole arm. I had like a hundred stitches and doctor said half an inch on my artery and I was bleeding out. If my mom didn't think quickly when she saw me, he said, I would have been dead right there. But her quick thinking, she like ripped off her shirt, tied my army. You know that mom instinct comes in She like, I was a big kid.

I was a swimmer. So she picked me up and she claims that she brought me inside and they're scrambling to call nine one one, you know, the ambulance and stuff. And when they brought me inside, she says, there was only like two of them. There was no one huddling around me looking down. You know, it wasn't a big crowd or anything like that. It was just like two people trying to hurry up and you know, save my life and stuff. So I always think back on that

years later. I didn't make anything of it. You know, I was that crazy kid that I was like, you know, was doesn't kill me, makes me stronger. So you know, like after that experience my arm heels, they got me back into swimming, which was probably the best thing in my life because it helped heal and make my arm stronger. But like a little bit later, I you know, a year later or something. Two years later, I built like

a rope swing in my woods. Knocked myself out. I knocked I fell and hit my head on a rock and had to get three stitches, and you know, stupid stuff, skateboarding off my my house, shed in the back when my grandmother's it's just like you know, wild wilding out kids in the eighties or whatever, nineties, And but years later, I never made anything of that experience until I started thinking back on certain stuff because a little bit after that, you know, my mom would tell me stuff like she

would catch me in my room talking to she really believed at one point I was talking to somebody in my room and I guess she would say she would come and she like cracked the door and she'd see me staring at the ceiling in the corner talking to like angels and stuff. Yeah, and I was never really like Catholic or whatever. I was raised Catholic, but I didn't I went to church by.

Speaker 3

I didn't recovering Catholic.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I didn't know what I was talking about. But it's like she said I was talking. It was just so creepy because it seems surreal, and she would just catch me talking to something that I truly believe that was there that I was looking at. And so I don't know, man, Like, it's hard, right because kids have such an imagination. I know I had a crazy imagination, but I think there's some realism behind it because I remember vividly after that. About a year later, I came

home early from from school. My mom came home a little bit after that, and I walked into the house and I go upstairs, and I go into the kitchen. I see the shadow figure like this man just completely all darked out shadow, just standing right there in where the sliding glass door would be to the backyard, and he was just standing there inside. And it scared me so bad. I ran outside to the basement door into

my neighbor's yard. And then my mom came home like a minute later, you know, and you know, I was freaking out telling her, and I didn't know if it was a burglar or if it really happened or didn't happen. It was just surreal, and it's just experiences like that after I had my accident, you know that I thought of years later when I started doing ghost ventures and

stuff like that, and then paranormal Lockdown. I started getting older and thinking a little bit heavier on it, and I asked my mom, like she started telling me things like that, like you would talk to yourself in the room, this would happen, you had that happen, and it's just like it all kind of came back to me, and I started to realize maybe there maybe that did trigger something, maybe I did crossover. Maybe it opened me up skating on thin ice, you know, a little bit closer to

the other side. I don't know, but I started to run into people that had NDE experiences near experiences, and they started telling me, like just weird stories about them crossing over and what they saw.

Speaker 3

And well, that's really interesting because one of my in my bigfoot pursuits, I came across that kind of stuff and and you know, I mean, Nick, I mean, I'm I'm I think sasquatches are kind of a boring animal. You know, they're just they're well, I mean, they're they're cool. But at the end of the day, they're biological, and they're they're not ufo rite and shape shift in interdimensional whatevers.

They're just everything they do can be more or less explained by biology, you know, so they're not really that exciting at the end of the day. But there's this whole cadre of people, you know, this whole population in those in the bigfoot community that insist that bigfoots talk to them in their brain, you know, like telepathically and and and I know several of these people, and you know, I've got nothing against them. I don't think they're right, but I don't think it's but I also don't think

they're lying, is the thing. So I kind of started looking for explanations. And one of the things I came across was this near death experience sort of deal and and you know, talking to entities on the other side and all this sort of stuff, and and and and what that led me to is the Strassman studies in the nineties about d m T. Have you ever gone down that rabbit hole?

Speaker 4

I've never taken d MT, but.

Speaker 3

I've never taken either. But it's super interesting.

Speaker 4

It's always fascinating, fascinating me big time. I mean maybe one day because I'm just so interested in, like what people have experienced. There's always the idea if you've ever like looked into it or people that I've experienced it. There's these little figures, these little like what do they call them nomes, gnomes or minions or goblins or whatever

the heck they are. They're working on some mechanical thing, like they're building, they're doing something, but you always run into them when you're when you're tripping on d MT. But the interesting part about dm T it's a chemical in your brain.

Speaker 3

It's hodogenous like all of us. Like if the government wanted any of us, anybody listening right now, they can come in and test your body and you'd be hauled to jail because you have an illegal amount of it in your system.

Speaker 4

Right now. I know it's wild, but it opens up your mind to something else, some other dimension. It's very interesting to me.

Speaker 3

I mean, you know Stratsman, the guy, the first guy in the United States that was allowed to do experiments on it after all psychedelics became illegal, and now DMT is the most powerful psychedelic drug known, you know, and it turns out that like all mammals, most plants, and all sorts of other life forms carry it. The one of the reasons he stopped doing his experiments once he was, you know, because he was allowed to do it with the FDA permission and all that stuff in the nineteen nineties.

One of the reasons he stopped his experiments was because a significant percentage, like something like thirty seven or thirty nine percent of his subjects described having conversations with non human and intelligences that they were completely confident were not themselves, like they weren't talking to the the back of their brain.

And then so many people who have near death experiences or so many so called Bigfoot contact ees, have similar experiences and come back with the same messages that I'm kind of convinced at this point that there's a veil between you know, what we experience as reality and what other entities might experience his reality, and those other entities are more than happy to conform with whatever your expectations are of them, whether their ghosts, whether their ancestors, whether

they're bigfoots living in the woods outside their house or whatever. Oh that doesn't scare you, Okay, sure that's what I am. Let's continue our conversation now.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I mean, you got to think we're a young species to a young planet. What else is out there? I just watched something where they said that what was that scientist that he discovered about four thousand I think it's about four thousand. Now other planets that revolve around similar suns like ours. So if you're saying and they think that there's trillions of them in space, so.

Speaker 3

Yeah, the best estimate right now is half of star systems have planets exactly.

Speaker 4

And the way that they were able to see with their telescope was when the planet like Earth, crosses in front of the sun, it creates a shadow, and that's how they were able to indicate it being you know, like a planet and having a sun and whatnot. But I mean, there's one planet within that unit. And I'm talking about separate universes, four thousand separate universes like our universe, where there is a possible planet that's just like our planet,

that has a sun just like our sun. So you got to say the possibilities of no life form beyond us? And I'm talking about some like crazy older universes way far more like ancient than our universe. So what else is beyond that? Because you know, then you get into the idea of everything that has a beginning has to have an end, right like maybe because when we look into space it seems like infinity, But where's the end?

Is there an end? Is this just the beginning? Or do we have to go through this life to evolve into some higher intellectual power like some do we have to go through it until we get it right? As some energy form I don't know, man, Like, all I know is I'm just trying to live a good life and trying to do what's right because I think I really don't know what's next, and all I want to do is like evolve humanity for something greater rather than being the same old ordinary, you know life.

Speaker 3

I know that whenever I'm faced with these unanswerable questions, I turn to the only place I know, which is Bobo. What do you think.

Speaker 2

I'm on the same page with you, guys, You're saying, I mean because I've had I've had that disembodied voice in my head, which I've always said, I mean, the most likely thing to me is that it's my own brain doing it, whether it's pheromones secreted by the Sasquatch or infrasound produced by the Sasquatch, or just whatever it is, or maybe it is them doing thought projection. But uh, yeah,

I know what people are talking about. It's the time it told me that I've told everyone who listened to this podcast with any regularity has heard me tell a story one hundred times. But when I had that one come behind me in gral and I went to turn around take its picture, and I just got this loud voice in my head saying, if you turn around and take my picture, I'm going to f and kill you and no one's ever going to find your body.

Speaker 3

And do you think sasquat just go around drop a F bomb? So yeah, that's that's why I said that.

Speaker 2

How do you my brain interpreting like a vibe or.

Speaker 3

Yeah, because you drop f bombs? I wrote about bigfoots.

Speaker 2

That one did fair enough, No, but yeah, I mean talking about like the whole like even if God wasn't real, humans would invent it just with thought projection or do

you hear stuff like that. It's interesting though, I mean it's really just in the way they're mapping the brain and how much I've been falling out a little bit, and all the imaging, like the advanced imaging and tying together, like the different sectors of the brains and what Nick was talking about before, like the different dimensions the brain can can produce or has or it's all it's all tripping.

Speaker 3

What are your thoughts on the role of technology and human evolution?

Speaker 4

Yeah, I mean if you look at if you look at people in general, I mean, our necks are expanding, our heads are growing, like what who's to say that what people are referring to, like the grays or like aliens that people have experienced, aren't us from the future. Right. If technology grows, we grow, we evolve space, you know, we transform into these beans, and we're coming back experimenting or trying to figure out whatever the heck we've messed

up in the future. And maybe there is some sort of evil of like the continuation of all this technology revolving around human beings adapting to whatever happens in the future too. I mean, I think that's a huge possibility. Yeah, I mean I think anything's possible. Man, It's just such a weird world we live in that we can't say one thing is is the exact you know. So, I mean, if you just look at technology in general, it's it's

come so far. Look at virtual reality, look at stuff that movies were made of, you know, like total recall and stuff like that. Look at what we're getting into now. I would imagine then the future to come will have bluetooth chips and planted into our brain so we can holographically see stuff or escape or go on these like virtual trips or you know, like a total recall type phase. And I think we're going to keep evolving, and I think our bodies and everything else is going to adapt.

And you know, we're always trying to create this nutrition or whatever you want to call it to like stay young and you know, get bigger muscles or whatever the heck people are doing these days. You know, it's just such a weird idea because we always want to have this hierarchy of like power, feeling good about ourselves or being stronger, healthier or smarter or whatever the heck the

case is. But then you know, you brought up a lot of cool things too that you were talking about if you even talk about, like, you know, going back to the paranormal for a second, the visual spectrum, right, we only see so far in the spectrum on the visual scale when you actually look at a visual scale, if you've ever gone to like the eye doctor and he shows you, like here's where you see in the spectrum of like everything that's out there, like ulter violet

rays and whatnot, Like we're only seeing a certain percent. It's very small. It's like, what is it two percent four percent of the actual spectrum. You know, dogs see a little bit farther than we see obviously in that spectrum, but then so on and so forth. It's like, can you imagine what else is in the realm of what we're living and how we perceive things? What else is

around us? We don't see the oxygen we're breathing, right, We don't see the billions of neutrinos that pass through our body every second, Like all the neutrinos and stuff passing through us, Like, we don't see that stuff.

Speaker 3

So it kind of brings up the idea that the brain was invented to perceive things, when I kind of think the opposite, the brain was actually invented to filter things out so we aren't overwhelmed.

Speaker 4

But what happens if we're all an experiment for something else to figure out how to take the consciousness or the idea of the consciousness, right, the information that we're collecting, Take all that information that we've gathered and take that and then woof transplant that information into another body so that can keep living and then voof that body dies that can keep leaving and keep going through that process.

Maybe like we're just an experiment, like these ants on the ground that we want to step on.

Speaker 3

Well, speaking from experience. I'm confident that I am just an experiment. Yeah, I can think's.

Speaker 4

Wrong all the time too, I do too. I'm with you on that one. Yeah, I mean it could be wrong in all this stuff. Who knows.

Speaker 3

It's just fun to think about, you know. I mean, we have a brain. We might as well use it and then kind of push the boundaries and see what, Hey, what are we capable of thinking about instead of just thinking about the things that you know are easy?

Speaker 4

Yeah, exactly. The norm is no norm anymore. I think like stuff that is out of the norm is more healthy these days. I think we tried so hard, you know, like if you look at anything over the nineteen fifties, we tried so hard. Put on the suit, go to work, come home, what's for dinner, go to sleep, wake up, do it again. I think now we're just like all I don't know, free floating craziness ideas. But there's a lot of chaos in the world. I think, you know,

it's crazy and oar. I don't know, it's just a crazy world right now that people are losing their minds. But I think it's a lot of obviously reasons behind it. But the universe has a weird way of playing things out. If you look at the history of time, there's always these epidemics, you know, every one hundred years or whatever, there's this crazy outburst of something.

Speaker 2

You know.

Speaker 4

I'm just happy we're not living in the plague era when Black Death walked the earth. Remember that?

Speaker 3

Yeah, well I don't remember, but thankfully no, I don't like bbonic plague. Oh yeah.

Speaker 4

Can you imagine living in that era? They were just taking people, like if Bobo was confidents on them, like burn them, he has it, you know, they would burn people.

Speaker 3

Oh, and having no idea what's causing it either, because I remember, you know, you mentioned earlier how we're a primitive species. We didn't know about germs one hundred and twenty years ago.

Speaker 4

Yep, exactly.

Speaker 2

I want to ask Nick a couple of ghost things before we split. Okay, what's you're feeling about exorcisms?

Speaker 4

They're fascinating, right, because I think it goes back to what we were talking about earlier. A part of me thinks that people with a you know, depression, oppression, it goes through the phases of that and then fall heavily into that. I usually typically like a real exorcism. My understand going through the Vatican and all that stuff, it's a huge process to even claim that it's something of some extraterrestrial like some demonic presence or something that has overtaken someone's body.

I think that's the one thing that actually, through my whole entire career, has scared me. Something that can overtake, something of a negative energy, negative entity, that can overtake your own body and your own psyche like, I think that scares me a little bit. You know. I used to laugh at like movies like the Exorcists when I was a kid. I used to love them, like I'm a horror fanatic. I used to love all the horror

movies and I rented all the Exiorcist movies. But then, like a little bit later in my life, I had like this weird moment where I felt like this negative energy moved through me. I kind of blacked out for a second, and I don't know what happened, but I heard was the voice in my head saying kill him, kill him, kill him, and it obviously it wasn't me, and I shook it off and then I felt so

drained after. But I'm like, man if something can overtake or try to overpower your own you know, your will or your body or your your brain or whatever when you're vulnerable, Like exorcisms, I think hit a little bit deeper with me because I've studied a little bit on it.

Like what was that one extorcism Emily Rose, Like the real story of that, hearing the tape recordings of the priest when he's there with the girl and hearing her voice change, and you know, her dying in the process of him, you know, trying to exercise that whatever was overtaking her or whatever was happening with that, and him being in jail for it. I don't know, man, it's a scary thought. I know there's been thousands of cases worldwide.

I've talked to some pretty credible people that have experienced and seen it firsthand, and I've talked to some people that I think are full of shit, to be honest with you. So it's like, I think a lot of people do stuff for five minutes of fame and TV or whatever, and I think there's some real serious stuff that the one two percent of humanity has experienced something far more sinister than we can comprehend, that possibly when somebody's in a vulnerable state, maybe there's something that can

overtake you know, that willpower. But I've never personally experienced the exorcism been there, But I've talked to some good people that have What.

Speaker 3

Actually scares you? You mentioned exorcism scares you. What else out there that maybe you've had a brush with, or maybe something that you want to avoid. What actually scares you? Because it doesn't seem like you're the kind of guy that's scared of the dark.

Speaker 4

No, I mean it takes a lot to scare me. I mean I was living in the most haunted places in the world for five years, and I would live there for three days seventy two hours, and I would sleep in like, Okay, here's a prison. Five people were murdered in here. Okay, Nick, have a good night, and I would just sleep there by myself. It's a weird feeling. It really f's with your head. I won't lie, man, Like the psychology behind it is just crazy. You feel

super vulnerable. There's not a lot that scares me, because you have to come to terms with yourself. What are you going to do?

Speaker 2

Run?

Speaker 4

I used to joke around and say, what's the worst that can happen, but there's a lot of bad things that can happen.

Speaker 3

They killed on camera, but you got a great.

Speaker 4

Show, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and you describerman style just you set up cameras or is there a guy in there with you?

Speaker 4

No, it was for paranormal Lockdown. I'd have a cameraman follow myself and the co host Katrina around and then he would leave and it would just be us too. So then she would go way on some part of the building where you know, like something crazy happened, and I would sleep by myself in someplace it was just us, and I would wake up dragging my own camera around and blah blah blah. So yeah, there's been a lot of weird moments. I don't know, it's just like a weird,

a weird feeling when you're isolated, your vulnerable. It doesn't take a lot that scares me. I slept in a morgue the whole night. That was weird, like yeah, yea. And the drawer is in an old historical It was new Sham Park Hospital in England, really like massive castle looking place, creepy, and they would they had their own embombing in a crematory building right next to the big building. It was like an orphanage and just creepy history. So I slept in one of the morgue slabs by myself

in the building. It was just so weird, man, it was so uncomfortable, and during disgusting, I swear I felt like like life it was disintegrating off me after every single location, Like my skin was just like falling off my body. But I think the one thing that scares me that I've come to terms with is negative energy. Negative energy that can overtake your own willpower or psyche or body mind, body spirit, you and know all that stuff. I think that kind of makes me nervous when you

start feeling it at locations. You know, when you're vulnerable, like going to sleep and you're so tired that you can't function anymore. And if something kind of gets into your brain or into your like subconscious or whatever, and like suddenly you're not yourself anymore, like you're feeling like that dark cloud or just bad, you know. I think that's a little scary.

Speaker 3

Nick has been great having you on the show. I mean a lot of people know who you are, and then a lot of people know who obviously we are too, but our two worlds collide, and I think that's the point. I think that's really neat that we're all in our different weird things and we can come together and talk about the weird stuff, because you know, Bigfoot and Beyond. Half the title is beyond then we don't get into that enough, and you're just the guy that talked to

you about that weird stuff. So thank you so much for coming on.

Speaker 4

Yeah, thank you. I really appreciate it.

Speaker 3

Guys.

Speaker 4

It was fun. It was a deep conversation I'm realizing, but I enjoyed it. It was a great time.

Speaker 3

Yeah. I'd like to think that we're not your average podcast.

Speaker 4

That's right. Yeah, there's nothing norm these days about anything, so it's perfect.

Speaker 2

Right. So where's the best place for people to look you up? Nick?

Speaker 4

Social media? Yeah, I'm just my name, Nick Roth. Make sure it's the blue check mark or has more people following, because there's a lot of fake accounts out there I'm noticing.

Speaker 2

And you're also Nick Roff, the musician I know online. Yeah.

Speaker 4

Yeah, I've been working on a new album coming out hopefully this year. Kind of got halted because of everything that's going on. But working with my good friend Macinian producing it, and a really amazing music artists, and we just got a lot of big things coming out. Working on a lot of stuff, you know. Me, it's never not one thing.

Speaker 2

That's great with that.

Speaker 3

Nick, I'd like to thank you for coming on Bigfoot and Beyond. I mean, you are a beacon of the weird and a high profile paranormalists in general, and it's always good to have that kind of thing on the show. You know, we sometimes get a little bit too serious with the Bigfoot thing and we ignore all the other weird stuff that's out there. And there's so much weirdness in the world, like I say, there almost every episode. The world is not only weirder than you think, it's

actually weirder than you can think. And it's fun to have people on to talk about just whatever comes up. So thank you very much for participating in Bigfoot and Beyond.

Speaker 4

Yeah, thank you, guys. It was such a great conversation, really deep thinking and I really enjoyed it. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's great talking to you, Nick, and we still and folks who listen to that if you're into the paranormal and big which I know a lot of people are Cliff I and Nick have been talking about doing a combo Bigfoot ghost Adventure tour expedition, like you know, somewhere like Timberline Lodge and Mount Hood, you know where there's bigfoots outside and ghosts inside. We want to do something like that here coming up.

Speaker 4

Let's do it, love to that'd be amazing. It's cool to bring the two forces. This guy. You never know what's going to happen. Maybe Uf always come down, take us all.

Speaker 3

Bye, all right, good call Bobs. I'm so glad you gave Nick a call to invite him on the show.

Speaker 2

Yeah. Yeah, he's always so busy. He's hard to nail down, but he's generous, you know, to make some time for us. Yeah.

Speaker 3

One of the nicest guys in paranormal land, I think is. I mean, I've known him for a few years because you know, we do gigs together essentially, you know, Crypti con or any any variety of gigs and appearances. But since this year, there have been no appearances because of COVID. It's just nice to reconnect, you know, occasionally with friends that we don't get to see because we're not on the road.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you're right, Yeah, let's keep it going clip. I mean, we just had a great guest and hopeful we get some more coming up here soon for the folks listening at home, and we appreciate you guys listening. Until next time, keep it Squatchy.
