Episode 242: HUNA! & Do You Know About This SECRET LaB?

may or may not know that. I live here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I probably sound a little stuffy today because the sandstorms have been kicking up again. That's that's the thing when you live out in the desert. There are pros and cons. I love the fact that almost every day is sunny and it almost never rains, but when those winds kick in, boy, you get a lot of particulates in the air. But here is something I bet that you don't know about Las Vegas. Many

people call this city the Ninth Island, the Ninth Island. Well, why is that? If you if you know anything about Hawaii, you know Hawaii is actually made up of, oh gosh, over one hundred little islands, but there are eight big islands there, and so many people over the years have traveled from Hawaii to Las Vegas even moved here that now there is this huge community of Hawaiians and Hawaiian

culture here in Las Vegas. As a matter of fact, Google says that the largest number of Hawaiian culture, I guess the largest amount of Hawaiian culture outside of Hawaii exists here in Las Vegas. That's pretty wild, isn't it. Yeah, the Ninth Island. And so you know, you always ride around here and drive around here, and you see all these signs for Hawaiian barbecue and various types of Hawaiian dishes, and you know, I have never been to Hawaii. It's

on my list of things to do. Here's my problem, because you know, I'm pretty close to it being here in Vegas. You can get on an airplane here and you can fly to Hawaii in about six and a half hours. And to many people that's just nothing, but to me, that's a long flight. I kind of have a problem being on airplanes for like more than a couple hours at a time. If I can help it. Now, I have done it before. I've flown to Europe and whatnot. But if I'm going to travel within the US, I'll

usually helped. I'll fly two or three times. I'll fly a couple hours to when city, hang out for a day, then fly to another city hanging out. That's so to me, I just haven't sort of taken the time to to prepare for a flight like that. But you know what, there is occasionally a cruise that you can take from Hawaii or excuse me, it's it's from Los Angeles to Hawaii and you explore all the islands and back over seventeen days. A Viking cruise. I would love to do that.

So that's one of these days, I'm probably going to try to do that. Maybe I'll even be able to record podcasts and stuff while I'm in the middle of it. I don't know. So even though I haven't been to Hawaii yet, I am again I'm fascinated with Well, I've always been fascinated with the Hawaiian culture. And if you've been listening to this show for a while, I'm sure you've heard me talk about what is called hopono pono. Hopon pono. It is a traditional Hawaiian practice of reconciliation

and forgiveness. And if you don't know, if you've never heard about this, go back. Do yourself a favor. This could change your life. I'm serious, and I don't say that about many things that I talk about, but this really could. Go back and listen to episode eighteen of this podcast called Strange Things. Episode eighteen is called hopon Pono and synchronicity. Now, don't even try to spellon, but

the word translates into English simply as correction. And if you want to get more detailed, if you go to the Hawaiian dictionary, the term is quote to put to rights, to put in order or shape, to correct, revise, a just men, to regulate, rectify, tidy up. There are a lot of other words here, but here regardless, a lot of adjectives, but the methodology of Hypono Pono is very,

very simple. It's a system of thought and sort of the modern practice of revolves around these terms, I'm sorry, please, forgive me, thank you, I love you, And if you listen to episode eighteen of the show, you'll understand why that repetition of those phrases appears to have a cleansing

effect on the mind, the body, of the spirit. And once I did that podcast, you would not believe to this day the amount of people who listen, who contact me and say, I use the method that you talked about in that podcast, the Pono method, And it literally changed my life, and it changed the lives of everybody around me. I'll never forget. There was one woman who said, I had I have a son who was just helplessly addicted to a terrible drug, and we tried everything and

we couldn't get him off of it. And so I tried Theono method, and it's a miracle. You know, he's no longer hooked on this drug. I mean powerful stuff like that was coming to me, and so I always love exploring new approaches to thought and manifestation, making your life somehow better by exploring different ways of looking at life. And different things work more or less for different people.

So that's why we look at all the different varieties on this show that I can find and maybe if I one day, you might hear me talk about something and it doesn't connect, and the next day you go, wow, now that makes sense to me, and that is the thing that works for me. Well. I got an email recently from a man in the Netherlands named Peter, and he said that he wanted to recommend a book he thought I would enjoy by William R. Glover, and it's called simply Enough Hoonah. He says in it is an

easy exercise to connect with your higher self. Okay, great, I love. And this is actually kind of an obscure book. It turns out. It was sort of hard for me to find a copy online, but I got one. It's in my hands here called Honah, the ancient religion of positive thinking. Now you know, again, having never been to Hawaii, I've never I mean, I've heard the term Hounah, but I don't really know what it means do you. So I decided to look into it and I thought, I

wonder if hounah is similar to pono. And of course you've we've all heard the term like the big Kahunah, like this guy's the big Cahunah. And apparently in Hawaii that simply means a wise man or a shaman. So that's interesting. So I'm not sure if the word Let's see if the word hoonah comes directly from from that. Okay, now here we go. Here's what we get from the almighty Internet. Tuonah. It's that word itself. It says it's

a Hawaiian word for secret. M Now we're back to this idea that there are certain certain jewels of thought that some people have mastered and captured. And you might think, well, why would you keep the ability to manifest positive things a secret? Well that I think it's because that Unfortunately, if you become a great manifestor, you can also use that to manifest evil things sometimes, if that's what you want to do. It all goes back to look the Star Wars mythos. You can be you know, you can

be Darth Vader or you can be Yoda. They're both using the force, and so sometimes you got to be careful with who you give access to this kind of information. But anyway, here's what it says here. Historically, hunah is the word adopted by the New Age author Max freedom

Long in nineteen thirty six to describe his theory of metaphysics. Now, you see that surprises me because I would just assume, I know, like pono goes back to supposedly like the ancient roots of the people of the Hawaiian Islands, and so I kind of assumed that huno would be one of those things like, oh, yes, this has been around for thousands of years. But no, it says, you know, nineteen thirty six, And it reminds me of what I

learned when I started studying reiki. Sure, there are people who say that reiki as a practice goes back thousands of years in Japan, and yet reiki as we know it today was sort of codified in the eighteen hundreds and didn't even make it here into the United States. Let's see, the first reiki clinic in the US was started in nineteen seventy. So some of these things that sound and are presented as very very ancient are really a little bit more recent when it comes to how

we look at them in the modern era. But okay, so what is this thing called Hounah? Exactly? What is this theory of metaphysics? Okay, when we come back from this break, I'm going to tell you a little bit about how this man developed it, and then I'm going to explain some things from this book I have called Honah, including the Honah prayer format, which is supposed to be able to tell you exactly what to do if you

want to use the Hounah method of manifestation. And it has a lot to do with looking at yourself, maybe in a way that you've never looked at yourself before. Hey, do you like this show? It's a show.

Warren dot com. That's me. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast a m paranormal podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every night is silver. I gietato zoom. Here are some unusual

facts about Hawaii, the fiftieth US state. It's the only US state with two official languages, English and Hawaiian. The Hawaiian alphabet also has only twelve letters. It's the only state where you can visit eleven out of thirteen different climate zones in one day on the Big Island. But this one I think would be my wife Lauren's favorite. It's illegal to own or bring snakes into the islands.

Fascinating place, all the more reason to go there. I look, I'm a lover of all animals, but I've had a snake or two slither into my bedroom back in the day, and I prefer not to have those encounters, all right. So this fella, Max Freedom Long was an American novelist and New Age mystic, and he went to Hawaii in

nineteen seventeen to work as an elementary school teacher. Became interested in the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Cahunas and modern practitioners of the traditional indigenous Hawaiian religion. But none of these ceremonial people talked to him, so he was kind of unable to penetrate into the inner workings. Now.

Even though hunah means secret in the Hawaiian language, the term cahuna is used for any expert, so this could be an expert diagnosing an illness, herbal medicine, canoe building, temple building, wood carving, stargazing. You get the picture, and

this fella along. He left Hawaii in nineteen thirty one, convinced he would never learn all the secrets, but in nineteen thirty four he woke with a revelation that the secrets were encoded into the Hawaiian language itself, and this is what he developed into the system known as Hoonah, and wrote his first book in nineteen thirty six to chronicle his beliefs. So I got this email from this fella who says, hey, if you want to read the best book, you know he's a listener. You want to

read a good book about who? Go to read this one called Hoonah, The Ancient Religion of Positive Thinking and by William R. Glover. This particular book was published in nineteen and eighty three. In the preface, it says Max freedom Long called Hoonah a psycho religious system because it contains elements of both psychology and religion. As psychology, it is practical and effective, and as religion it is a simple yet complete way of life. All right, let's see

what this is all about. So here are some portions that I found interesting, says here on page twelve. One of the most important techniques in the Huna concept is understanding the lines of communication between the three minds or selves, as the Kahunahs called them. A unique concept in the Hunah technique of prayer is that the subconscious, and not the conscious mind, has the telephone line to the higher self. So if we wish to pray to the higher self or God to make a request, we have to go

through the subconscious. It is not possible to pray directly to the high self. The most important part of the mechanism of this kind of positive thinking is learning to work through the subconscious to get through to the super conscious. Okay, now that may have said a bit confusing, but think of yourself as a house that has three levels. We're all like this. There's even an illustration of a guy in a three story house, and it's the same guy,

but he's on different levels. And here's what the book says. Try to think of the three sells of man as a house with a basement, a first floor, and an attic. The middle selves live on the first floor. It can see out the windows and get a glimpse of the world. There are trees and shrubs to block the view, however, and the information gathered by the middle self may not always be correct. The low self lives in the basement.

There are no windows. The only facts given to the low self are pictures sent through a telepathic telephone line from the middle self on the first floor. Conscious does not question these facts. It simply accepts them as presented and files them away as memory. Now, the super conscious lives in the attic. The high self can see all around through its windows, no shrubbery blocks to view. It

sees pure truth. However, and this is extremely important, the high self's telephone line goes only to the low self in the basement. It cannot communicate directly to the middle self or the conscious mind. And this is the reason why we must pray through the subconscious in order to reach the high self. There is no direct telephone line from the conscious to the super conscious. Now, I think

that's pretty clear. You should have understood that. So again, you have the subconscious level down here, and you have this super conscious attic up here, and you're observing things in the middle and the information that you're giving is going down to the subconscious, and that's what goes up to the guy in the attic who makes things happen. All right, fine, so how do we get things done this way? Let's see here. Later in the book it says here is a the Hoonah prayer format. Okay, so

the perfect prayer along with suggested affirmations. Number one, decide exactly what is to be asked in prayer. And I'm not saying, by the way, that I agree with all these things. Sometimes I think that we don't know exactly what we want, and sometimes we might limit ourselves by asking for exactly what we want. Which is why a lot of times, if you're gonna pray, you might ask for this or something better, because there might be something even better than you can imagine. But regardless, this is

not about me. This is about what this man says in this book about Hunah. He says, deciding exactly what is to be asked in prayer. Number two obtain the cooperation of the three selves, and this requires complete relaxation of the body, the low self, and the conscious mind, followed by meditation. Okay, So number three generate a surplus of manna, the life force. You do this by breathing deeply, drawing in more oxygen. You relax, he says, I ask my low self to assist me in generating and storing

this force. My will is being made strong and enduring so that I am filled with the determination to accomplish these things. So you take deep breaths, and he talks about continuing this breathing until you feel fully charged. A lot of people do the breathing exercises before they try to seriously manifest something. Doctor Mulder even talks about using that she building exercise a lot before he does anything

on the wishing machine. Number four, Contact with your high self, the parental spirit who dwells in the realm of light. And that's what you're trying to reach, that higher self. And you ask that higher self to lead you and guide you. And then let's see Number five. Make the mental picture thought form of the desired condition, and you figure out what you want. You feel this deep emotional need for it, and then you repeat your request three times with as much emotion as possible, and then see

yourself as already obtaining it. Boy, this sounds familiar, doesn't it. Number six, Send the thought form to your low self to present telepathically to your high self. So you hold a picture for a mirror, you reflect it down to the low self. Okay. Number seven, strengthen the thought form with manna and send it up to the high self. And then number eight in the prayer, with the feeling of faith and confidence, and then you in by saying, my prayer has taken flight, let the light of my

high self shine back to me. So be it. Now. You may hear that and say, well, that sounds great, Joshua, But how do I how exactly do I do that? How do I send this thought down to my lower self and tell it to send it up to my highers? Look, this is just a podcast. I'm giving you an overview. If you care that much about it, if you really want to know, you got to go do your own research.

This is not an instructional program. I'm just giving you, Like, Hey, if this sounds like something you want to explore, then go for it. But you know what, now that gives you an idea of what people mean. I guess when they talk about huna. Maybe I'm sure I'll learn a lot more when I go to Hawaii at some point, But it doesn't it all sound like the typical forms of manifestation exercises that you hear in one way or another.

And that's fine because we live in a universe, and in a universe then everything should be more or less the same at some level. And if there's a way to manifest, then there's a way to manifest, and there are different approaches to it, and the key is to find the approach that works for you. It's like learning to play an instrument. You go to one guitar teacher

and he sucks and you don't learn. But you go to another guitarist teacher he's great, and the next thing you know, you're playing stuff you could not imagine you could play before. Find what works for you, and I'm gonna there's a tie. Ind this it's an odd tie end, but hey, the show is called Strange Things about a secret lab that I just recently learned about. And I say, see kind of in quotations because obviously if you know something, well, look,

I'll explain when we come back. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be back after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things. Oh the iHeart Reggio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, And this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah, who knew that Las Vegas is known by many as the Ninth Island

because of the Hawaiian influence. But you know, the funny thing is Vegas is a very special place, and that is because it's really built on this concept of luck. How do you come here and get lucky? And so there are lots and lots of practically every philosophy that you can think of on how to increase good luck and manifest good things. Happens here because the sky's the

limit and yes, it can go either way. And a lot of people, of course, you know, they have this sort of honestly, it's an outdated view that Las Vegas is just this crass place where it's just a bunch of you know, drunks and degenerates. And you know, the thing is that is a small part actually. I mean if you go around the strip and you go to certain places, you can find some of that, but you

really have to go looking for it these days. I mean, having lived here now for about eight years or something like that, I can tell you that I have had much, much, much easier access to seed things in some of these smaller towns where everybody pretends to be good folk. So it's not as bad as you think. Here, there's a lot of interesting a lot of interesting ways to test out your your manifestation and your philosophies. And you know, it's kind of like it's a big laboratory. That's how

I look at it. And I was recently watching an Inner You with an author named Michael Easter and he is a New York Times best selling author and a professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas un LV. And he's known for his books The Comfort Crisis and the one I'm going to talk about here called Scarcity Brain. And it says, fix your craving mindset and rewire your habits to thrive with enough. What fix your craving mindset

and rewire your habits to thrive with enough? And as he started talking, he was telling me about something that I'd never heard of before being here in Vegas. I'll give you a little section from his book Scarcity Brain. He's talking about particularly here like Caesar's, which of course

owns a bunch of casinos and properties. He says he was talking about how they were looking into different types of technology, and he says Caesars would have no clue if the new technology worked until they had spent millions of dollars putting it to use. It was the casino's own kind of gamble, and in this case, the house was losing. So what if somebody proposed there Caesar's partnered up with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where scientists

study technology and how it affects human behavior. UNLV and its various research wings are like Harvard meets Cambridge meets Area fifty one for shaping human decisions on the Las Vegas stript and beyond. They know what works and it has little to do with geometry or musical notes. What if they created a casino laboratory, built a casino but used it entirely for research, create a real casino that fill it with a bunch of PhDs, brilliant tech minds

and study participants. It could be a place to test games or how people after various subliminal cues, or investigate how the tiniest tweaks to a slot machine trigger us to do one thing or another. Well it I'm skipping around here, you know, But he says. The result is a place called black Fire Innovation, a sort of twilight

zone of casinos. Quote says one scientist where a giant lab that emulates a casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip, a place where we can explore new technologies, behavioral changes, and more, from hotel rooms to food and beveraged entertainment to gambling, retail signage. So this author says that they walked into basically, it's a full casino that is owned here by this partnership between and it's the casinos and

the university they've teamed up here. He goes on to say one of the biggest differences here, he says, this is effectively a casino, except there's no smoking and more scientific devices and people with advanced degrees. Quote, this area emulates a sports book, he said, sportsbook, and then he goes a walk toward a lineup of greenfelt tables encased in dark hardwood and leather. These are traditional table games where we can test new games technologies and track behaviors.

Then they pointed to a electronic table games blah blah blah. Okay, So anyway, he's describing in detail here how that they have created their own little casino, and he says we can get some insight into how behavior changes as we advance technology. He says Caesar's is the leading partner, but tech and gaming giants like Adobe, Intel, LG, Hewlett Packard, Panasonic, Zoom blah blah blah, DraftKings all are financially vested. He kind of summarizes this section by saying, Las Vegas casinos

are not the mob run joints they once were. They are now living research labs and testing sites, vast human behavior data banks. This is why before the builders brought craps, tables and roulette whels into this place, they installed its brain, a super computing data mainframe, you know. And this this little casino that they've created, I mean, it's more than just the gaming area. It also has hotel rooms and

restaurants and like representations of all these things. So yes, it's certainly a scaled down version from what you would experience in a full you know, like a full size place like Bellagio or Caesar's Pouse, but all the elements are there, and every day they study this stuff with computers and AI now and they're trying to figure out how to make you do what they want you to do.

And that may seem so intimidating because you might hear that and say, oh, well, that is why should stay away from vegas and gambling, because there's no way you can win. They are using all this psychological manipulation on you. Scarcity Brain very very good book, and he gets into some interesting examples of how even animals like pigeons can be influenced and taught to gamble in a certain way.

I know that sounds really weird, but you know, I'm sure this dude would not like it if I read his whole book to you, So Scarcity Brain by Michael Easter. But here's what I thought was intriguing about this. I read this, and it's not at all surprising to me that a place like that exists. I'm sure it's they probably are other ones that are truly secret that we

don't even know about at all. What makes this weird for me is that just about anybody who knows me personally and has gone to casinos with me will tell you that I usually overcome the odds and win money or at least break even. Very very seldom do I lose. There's no guaranteed way of winning and gambling. Uh. And that is because that you know, it's like it's it's at that's part of the fun. It's gambling. There's no guarantee,

guaranteed way of winning. But I believe that I'm a living proof that you can You're not gonna go to the casino and walk out a millionaire, but you can go to a casino and you can usually either walk out with what you came in with, which is just free entertainment basically, or you know, plus you get comps

and things like that. But most of the time I leave with a profit, and I can even prove that if I needed to, because if you use your player's card, then these casinos will keep track of your profit and losses and they will tell you for the at the end of the year what you're you know, how it turned out, and so you know, I'm sharing this with you because as a person who studies manifestation, I am certainly not some divine being who can make anything happen.

But I do believe that when you go to a casino and you're viewing it as a fun experience, and you have a certain type of attitude and you have a a certain understanding of the game and all that you can overcome some of these extraordinary odds and at least walk out of there not feeling like that, you know, you've blown all your money, and I think that's kind of for me, some personal proof that it can be done. So I thought that was interesting something I didn't know

that you would also find intriguing. We're almost up on our last break. When we come back, I have kind of a miracle story or two that I want to read to you that I came across recently, and it's actually something reported by George Nori, host of Coast to

Coast AM. I want to share that with you, and then I think I have time to maybe squeeze in at least one or two listener emails, including one from a lady who told me that one of her relatives was struck by lightning, and because I recently did a show about lightning and other plasmas, and she said that what happened to this guy afterward is one of the weirdest things. I've never heard of this before, and is

this true? Well, it got national attention, so I'm going to try to dig into that and as much else as I can for the last segment of the show. It's fine to just kind of jump around and see where it goes, all right, My friends. I'm Joshua Pee one. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM para normal podcast network, and I will be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast

to Coast AM paranormal podcast network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and George Nori, the host of Coast to Coast AM, has been a great friend and a big supporter of my work for over twenty years. I owe him a lot. We've done TV shows together. I don't even know how many radio broadcasts, podcasts, stage shows. I mean, like whatever you can do in the show business. And I just recently I came across this short essay that George wrote called Miracles, and it's located on a

website called my Elevator Pitch for Good dot com. Interesting, he writes, my grandparents built a multi level apartment complex on top of the furniture store that they owned in the Fitchburg area west of Boston and lived there with about ten other families. Late one night, when my family was visiting one summer, a fire broke out in the store. While they were sleeping. Opaque black spoke quickly engulfed the building,

seeping into the upstairs apartments. All of my family would have died had an been for a fireman in full body protective clothing and gear who woke me out of a sound sleep. I frantically got everyone else up, and we sprinted down the stairs and out the front doors to safety. We even made the front page of the Fitchburg Sentinel newspaper with a picture showing us fleeing a

building engulfed in flames. While standing outside the smoldering building, that night, my parents walked up to the fire chief to thank him for his team member who had bravely woken me. The chief stopped them mid sentence. I don't know what you're talking about. We never entered the complex. Your family came running out before we had a chance to enter. To this day, we have no idea who or what woke me up. I believe God or one of God's angels saved our lives that night. It's one

of those stories kind of gives you goosebumps. He also goes on to say, you know he obviously he's received innumerable reports about miraculous and amazing things over all the years he's been hosting radio and so George also includes this as a part of his essay. Once a police officer called with another worldly story. He said that he and his partner had responded to a nine to one to one call about a person who is dying of a heart attack. The officers got to the house before

the EMTs arrived. They knocked on the door and an old man let them in. They saw a man lying on his stomach on the floor. They rolled him over, but he was already dead. The miracle was that the dead man was the same person who had just opened the door. Now, I know you might be thinking like, hmm, interesting, but how is that a miracle because the guy was dead. I think that that is a miracle because it shows

that the guy actually wasn't dead. You see that his body may have died, but this was proof that his spirit, almost immediately was still there and interactive. And it gives you some sense of an afterlife, right, and we are

usually hopeful about that. I think that the only people who are truly terrified of an afterlife are people who have a very guilty conscience and think that they're going to be punished because they know they've done some terrible things, which is why we may have bad ghosts more often than not that stick around because they don't want to go to some other dimension, go to the light or whatever, because they're afraid that when they do that that they

might face some terrible judgment and they're trying to delay that process. But the great, great stories and there's more to this essay my elevator pitch for good dot com George Nori Miracles. Okay, let's go to some listener emails.

I did a podcast, let's see episode two thirty seven of this program called Strange Things, and that program, that episode was titled Listen Earth's Heartbeat, Human Resonances, and in that I talked about lightning and how that light often has a well, lightning is pounding the earth and playing it like a drum. And I got an email from a woman named Suzanne and she says, listen, says Hi, Joshua.

Interesting fact, My grandfather was in Ripley's Believe it or not, He was struck by lightning and then he grew twelve inches in height over the next sixteen months. He was a young man at the time and stepped off the porch during a storm to check on the livestock. He had nails in his pocket, was struck from head to toe. His shoes were blown off. They thought he was dead. His obituary was in the local paper. But he came around in a couple of days, and then he started

to grow. And to prove this, she sent me a picture of her grandfather grown man, standing there illustrated in one of the Ripley's publications. And she also sent me a three page document which is basically like an affidavit attesting to this with a signature. Wow, you ever heard of such a thing? She says, By the way, I am five eleven. Well, thank you, Suzanne. I don't know. I don't know how to explain. I've never heard of somebody growing twelve inches once, she says, sixteen months after

being struck by lightning. Maybe there's something we should look into there when it comes to promoting human health or something. But that's I don't email me and let me know what you think about that if you have any ideas. But thank you again, Suzanne. It's so how cool would it be to see your grandfather at a Ripley's publication like I'm looking at right now. I think I got

time for one more. I recently did a show where I talked about the missing four one one phenomenon and how that like, there was this one story David Politis talked about where a boy was missing for days or something and then they finally found him, and he said that he had been in a cave with a talking bear the whole time, and people thought that maybe that was some kind of a reference to a Bigfoot. Anyway,

listener named Jason emailed me. He says, Joshua, I was just binge listening to your show, lol, and you mentioned the kid with a talking bear that was two miles from my house. It was wild Man. He was missing for four or five days in the woods with what he said was a talking bear that fed and helped

keep him warm at night. There were sixty to one hundred volunteers searching every one of those and had just shown up and have a person stopped on the roadside two miles from the house and heard whimpers coming from the woods, sixty feet into the woods and not a scratch on him.
