Starting point is 00:00:03 This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill, but no one was supposed to talk about it. I saw three long, bony fingers reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear. When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me. And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen. And he starts running and firing up this giant. Well, the giant moves. He's got a spear in one hand and he's running really fast. And spears, Dan, holds him up like this.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face. They basically decapitated. Spicer got splice him, got spurson when he got about... And I look over and there are two small gray entities. And they're literally, I'm getting pulled off the bed. I reached my hand into this bush and I touch air. Couldn't breathe and I couldn't move because I know I'm seeing. A monster.

Okay, tonight I have a great guest coming on. Rob, Rob is a military veteran. How you doing, man? You're good. How are you, Tony? I'm doing good. So I got this email from you just a couple of weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:03:46 and because you're in the military and you're active, you know, you don't know when you're going to be around. So I wanted to get this interview done when you're available. You have some really interesting experiences on here going from anywhere from zero gravity aircraft carrier to mermaids to ghosts and the picture that you sent me with the face behind you. We'll get in all of that. But why don't you just start us off with the zero gravity aircraft carrier? I'm very fascinated by this. So what's that all about? Okay. So I'd say back in 2009, right? Back when I was in high school, me and my buddy we're driving on this toll road back in SoCal where I'm from and all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:04:28 this like you know it's a pretty much what looks like to be a carrier in the sky have you seen like District 9 or independent day I'm sure you've seen that movie right yeah like District 9 so it looked like a carrier because you know I've seen carriers
Starting point is 00:04:45 and 34-4 hair shifts and it was like 10 10 times that size, like not wide, but going, like, shooting down a, like, a highway almost. And so it was pretty intense, but I could start from the beginning if you want. Yeah, go for it. Yeah. All right, so back in, like, I'd say about 2009, me and my buddy, we went to movies, right?
Starting point is 00:05:13 Probably like 435, win-style movie. and around, I'd say about 8 o'clock, he dropped off her friend at his house, and then I took, because we have a lot of toll roads in California. I took this toll road, like a fast track way to drop my buddy off on the other side of town.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And so as we were going, right, I remember this, like, from distinctly from, like, you know, from that very day. So I have, like, a four-runner, right? Like a 2,400. as soon as I took off on the toll road the song Red Jumps Through Apparathus The song
Starting point is 00:05:53 What's it called? I think it's called I'll remember a song but it came on right It's based down on the song It came on and my radio antenna shut off And I was like well that's kind of weird And then it turned back on And then I was like that's never happened before you know And then as I was driving down the toll road, this red Saturn was in front of me and like a coop.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And it started flowing down. And it was really weird because I was like, it must be like a car accident. And as we turned the corner, this gigantic silhouette in the sky was like above. because the toll road reached to a point where it was very like very steep and it kind of goes downhill over it goes underneath a bridge and you can see um the mounds in the back and there was like sort of a town center and this gigantic aircraft was just in the sky floating and it was like silhouetted because uh because i've seen out at sea you know ships when And, you know, when you go dark at night, because you don't have any lights on, it's like a black shadow almost.
Starting point is 00:07:18 But you can still figure out what it is from close up. And so what I saw when it was going down the road, this is a gigantic aircraft, just floating. And you can kind of hear it. It was kind of making like a humming. You can hear like whatever type of engineering system had on there, but it was floating above us. And so it was just really crazy. And that was like, I don't know, it was something almost imaginary. Like he thought of like rolled more three going on.
Starting point is 00:07:51 It was that not at that level. But, you know, as I was driving, I was just like, I rolled down my window. And I was like, dude, like, dude, like, swimming. And my buddy, he was just like, I don't know. I think, I don't think his brain can function, or he couldn't process it at the time. So he was like, oh, like he got sick and he was like, I want my mom. Wow. And I was just like, yeah, I was just like, dude, like, it was something like he, like we're not supposed to see, you know.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Like our brains. Yeah. Or we've never seen anything like that. And so, like, I was just, that's all I remember. It was probably like a good 15, 20 seconds. I wasn't even paying attention to the road. I was just staring at it. That's how crazy it was.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And it was, so like on like a, you know, out at sea, if you ever see any type of warships or you see any type of like merchant vessels, they're very distinct at night with their navigational lights. You could be able to tell what they are. But this thing, it was rectangular. And it was hovering down the highway. And it, on each corner of it, on every, you know, on each corner of it, it had a navigational light, like a white, dim light.
Starting point is 00:09:11 And so, but it, it went down for miles. It was incredible. Like, I don't know what happened. If it may be cloaking device, like, shut off or what it was, but it was pretty intense. And then after that happened, my buddy was about to, I think he was, he's on the verge of crying. He's like, oh, like, he's making all sorts of weird sounds. And he was, like, with his wine. where's my mom, and then as soon as that ended, it was like 15 or 20 seconds.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And I don't even know what happened to the Saturn in front of us. I don't remember anything about it where it was. I don't know if we turned on an exit. And at that time, we had flip phone. And I pulled out, I was like, pull out your phone, dude, and we pulled out of her phone, and it was gone within seconds. It was like, I don't know if it's poking turned on or if it took off. And it was gone by then.
Starting point is 00:10:06 and then we were both shaking. Like, I'm shaking, just talking about it now. So how long ago was this again? This was in 2009, or 2010, one of those years. It was a year I was graduating, so I graduated 2010. And, and like, all right, so the size of this thing, I mean, are we talking about, like, a football field or more, more than a football field size? It was, okay, so wide. it reached probably across the highway, like a toll road highway.
Starting point is 00:10:38 So I'd say about, I'd say it must have been at least, yeah, 100 yards wide, but it went down for at least, I'd say it was, you like, it was almost imagining. You're like, it was crazy. Like, like, it reached almost like two miles going down, like from as far as my eyes could see. It was just a black silhouette, but you could see its shape. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was like, you can only see like the silhouette of it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:11:10 So like, and the only thing you get distinct, the only way you can make of it was because of each corner of it it had some type of navigational line. And so whenever we, so we got off the toll road and we just pulled over because they hovered over like a Home Depot, like a Target area. And nothing happened in the news. no one was talking about it.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Me and my buddy just got out of the car and we were just like, oh, really was like, you know, joy because we just looked more badass. It was like, whoa, you know, that was amazing, man, and we were shaking. We tried to tell people, I try to tell my girlfriend,
Starting point is 00:11:50 my ex-girlfriend at the time, you know, she thought we were crazy. But we, you know, he was there. We were not on any drugs. We were, like, athletes in school. So, you know, you know, I was like 17. I really didn't drink that much. I didn't drink at all pretty much at that age.
Starting point is 00:12:07 But like, it was, it was incredible. But that was kind of like just a little bit of things I've happened. It just seems like my life always run into weird, abnormal things or paranormal things, you know. Yeah. And so, I mean, you see that. And that is that the, I mean, I'm assuming that's probably one of the biggest things you've ever seen in your life up to that point. And you go into, you're now in the military. do you think that that what you saw was military?
Starting point is 00:12:38 Do you think that that was something that we operate with? It could be. You know what? Like, I honestly, I think it could have been. Because so as soon as we pulled off the toll road, right? We went to like this area where my girlfriend's job was at this restaurant and there's like a Home Depot. It was like, I remember today it was like 805, 806 at night.
Starting point is 00:13:02 And then we pulled over like 815. 18, 8, 20, and, like, we're, you know, we're calling our family, let them know, like, you know. And at that time, we were hearing helicopters flying by, like, a bunch of them, like, not a normal. You couldn't see them either, but you could hear helicopters. So, like, you could kind of make, you make out by their light, like, a helicopter light at night. But there's probably, like, I say five or six of them in that area. So you never know, you know. and you know like camp penalties it's not that far from there so all right well i mean i just find
Starting point is 00:13:41 it interesting because i mean when you see something that big uh i mean we have so much we have a lot of technology and when something like that big's going through the sky you would think that somebody somewhere would detect it you know what i mean and yeah at that point it's like is it being detected or is it not being detected? And if it is being detected, are they being quiet about it? Or is it because they knew about it the whole time because it's them? You know what I mean? Them as in like military aircraft or something like that. No, I totally understand. I totally understand like that's why like, because I've been seeing in the news, you know, like on social media, people joking around about the space force, how Donald Trump's
Starting point is 00:14:24 bringing, bringing a space force and sort of like a starship troopers type of the department. apartment and bringing like a lot of you know um inspiration to people but i feel like he's almost doing something like maybe unclassifying something you know like he knows something yeah because you know like i'm not trying to get into politics but you know he almost seems like a kennedy character in a way sort of you know like speaking to russians you know kind of like what he did before he was, you know, assassinate, unfortunately. And, like, it seems like it's something he's just trying to do, you know, try to maybe mention it, maybe, like, you know, bring it up, something like that, like, trying to,
Starting point is 00:15:12 even though it's probably there, it's probably been there for years, but for my understanding, it probably was, but it was just something, you know. And, I mean, me, I'm not to do it in the military, but I work nothing in any of that type of, nothing secret scroll type of top secret stuff. Well, you got to work your way up to that, man. That's got to be a mission to pass. You know, I feel like sometimes, you know, at least the way Trump has portrayed in the media. And I don't, I'm not a big fan of media.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So everybody knows that. Yeah. You know, I think that you ever receive that cartoon? I think it's called Dexter's Lab when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the phrase that she always said was, what does this button do?
Starting point is 00:15:56 It's just sometimes I look. I'm like, I wonder if the Trump's just walking. remember like, huh, I wonder what this button does. Oh. So it's funny though, man. I try to keep a lighthearted attitude about it all. And you definitely have to be, yeah. Yeah, for sure, for sure. I mean, there's no need to get it so uptight about everything. But, you know, it's very interesting the whole idea of the Space Force thing. And clearly there's a certain amount of technology there that is not available to the public for them to even think about doing Space Force.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I mean, you're talking about a giant operation to militarize space. There is technology and equipment there that you need to be able to build off of in order to do something like that that right now seems science fiction. And I don't think right now, I don't think a government should pursue something that they have to build a foundation with that is science fiction. So what I'm trying to say is I think there's technology available right now. that they need in order to do this that is not available to the public. And that's fine. I mean, I don't think we should have all the technology and we shouldn't know about everything
Starting point is 00:17:09 because if we know about it, our enemy knows about it. So I think some secrets are a good thing, you know? I agree. Yeah, like it was something definitely that, you know, like my buddy who was there, he obviously did not handle it. Like,
Starting point is 00:17:25 and I guess it was like almost like a proving thing to me. like I was just fascinated by it, but he, his brain almost shut off. Like, he's just like kind of kind of sort of like, because I, you know, I haven't been in combat before, but like we've been trained like, you know, a lot of people that, when they go into combat, they kind of hit like a fetal position because that's like, when you're born, you know, that's the most comfortable position. And that's what people, that's what happens to people when they, when they experience, you know, crazy stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And he almost did just like that. It was nuts. And that was my only time I've ever seen anyone do that. And he's, we're both heavyweight wrestlers and in high school. Like, we're pretty good. Like, we're pretty stocking men. And he was at that, you know, for such a young age, 17, 18. And he just almost couldn't even handle it from what he saw.
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's how intensive was. Yeah. So. But I totally agree with you. Yeah. It's fascinating stuff. What can I say? But, so now you're in the military.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And I think you mentioned, you're in the Navy. right? Yeah. Okay. And so I'm assuming you're out, deployed, and you see something that I guess really isn't supposed to exist. In the email you said, Mermaids, did you see more than one? Okay, so I didn't, I didn't see any, oh, it's a car explain. So when I was doing like this kind of like a twilight tour for, for a frigate. And these frigates, they're from like the 80s from the Cold War.
Starting point is 00:19:01 And so around that time when I first joined, they were like, the Navy wanted them to do one last deployment in South America. So we went to South America, right?
Starting point is 00:19:12 And so maybe a month into it because we're hitting a lot of forks and stuff. We, I think we're outside of Montevita, Uruguay. And at the time, you know, I was a scene and I was, you know, brand new.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I was, because they had you stand like an on-a-lookout type of watch and to make sure no one, you know, jumps overboard out over at night. And I was just, you know, I think it was like midnight. And I was on there. And, you know, at the time, you know, from what I remember, it was like a full moon and that was the only illumination that we had. and you really can make of anything out on water. But you can see things in the water.
Starting point is 00:19:56 But that night, when I was out there, about five or ten minutes into my watch, this head appeared out of the water. And it was really weird because I was like, you know, I thought it was a dolphin or maybe a feline, probably feline. It was just staring at me. And it was almost like a six-sense feeling like an intuition. And it was staring at me like, you know, you had some person staring at you, from, you know, like 20 feet away.
Starting point is 00:20:22 And they're just like, I don't know, like looking at you curiously. And I was just out there with my coffee. And it was, because they have to be out there for like, like, about an hour and a half, two hours. And it seemed to scare me for like probably like a good 45 minutes. And every time, because we were going very slow, probably like three or four knots through the water. No, probably not that. So like five or six knots going through the water. And it was as soon as we got, it got like kind of far away.
Starting point is 00:20:50 would come, it would go under and come back up again. But what I've kind of noticed, because it was just staring, it was a really weird thing. It had these, like, shoulder blades on it. That's from what I could remember. And it was just really strange, and I never really thought of anything about it. But it looked, it had shoulder blades.
Starting point is 00:21:11 It's not like a C-Larned us, you know. So I thought that was really weird. And then, yeah, we ended up hitting um um uh intaninas chile which is the southern hill city and in in chile and it was you're so close down there you're so far down there you're you're near the arctic circle i don't know how many miles back it is but it's snowing down there in south america you know and so we i remember we had to get we had to get underway because our our ships were colliding into each other that's how hard the seas were and we got underway and i was just a brand new speaking new semen at the time
Starting point is 00:21:52 and we were going through the streets and the jowlands and it's pretty it's a pretty crazy type of uh straight transit so it's um you know historically a lot of ships have um was a sink there um crashed there and as you're going through it there's this like with wind that's like no other that's blowing you trying to blow you out of it and not let you go through it. And as soon as you enter into it, into the straits, it's crazy, almost like you're in Alaska. That's how, that's how beautiful the scenery is. And the street is very small, almost like a river, almost like a Mississippi River, but it's a street. And this also is just a way I think mariners would take instead of going around the Cape, South America.
Starting point is 00:22:40 So it was like, you know, Straits and a majean, well, thing. like forward back in day. But as we're going through it, you can see like ships kind of like half cocked out. That's how dangerous it is to go through it. And, you know, at the time I didn't know it was Patagonia. You know, that's that part of Chile, you know, it was all green. It looks like Alaska. And it was snowing.
Starting point is 00:23:05 That's how cold it was. I think it was about 10 degrees outside. And so it's so cold you have to wear like what we call a pumpkin suit. Pumpkin suit at the time where it's like an Arctic. of cold weather gear and yeah and I think it was about because it's about a 15 17 hour transit going through it where everyone's manned up you know that's how it's because that's how dangerous it is it's so you know the the waters are so shallow there and there's so many sunken ships there you have to be careful but I was just I was just pretty much a lookout and drove the ship at the time
Starting point is 00:23:43 um, homestment. And like at that time, I think it was a second day. It was, it was still the first day in, but I woke up one morning on the second day. I think guys were about to finish through and everyone was just talking about, you know, what some of the guys saw. They're like, yeah, Diego by lemonade. And I was like, whoa, you know, I was like, no way. He's like, he's like, yeah, go talk to him. And I go talk to him and I go talk to him. I'm like, hey, man, I heard you, you know, you saw you saw a mermaid he's like no man i heard it and i was like what you talked about and he's like you know i was on half lookout last night you know and i kept on hearing these women laughing in the water and i was like shut up you know and he's like no being serious and you're laughing splashing
Starting point is 00:24:32 or splashing around in the water and at that time you know forgets people that you know people in navy that have been on those ships they don't have any enlisted women on those ships and it may be tough to have five female officers. But on my ship, we only had two. And there's no way they're going to be anywhere near that part of the ship or even outside, you know, in that type of weather, you know. And, like, he seemed like he was telling truth. And I was like, wow, you know, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Because it reminds me of what I saw, you know, in the water. Because those type of waters, you know, not too many people explore, you know. it's not kind of like an ancient area now. And then he's like, yeah, Moli, or I should say, me, he's like, another buddy of mine saw it, you know. And he's, he's from Zimbabwe. And he's a very nice man.
Starting point is 00:25:28 He's kind of older, guy that worked with us, a little bit more experienced in us, you know, life. And, you know, he's like, you know, the guy I'm talking about, he's like, he heard it too. I was like, oh wow, so I go talk to him and I go find him. I think he was using our birthing. And I was like, hey, man, you know, like, I heard you saw something last night. He's like, you know, I heard it.
Starting point is 00:25:54 And I was like, wow. Like he's like, in my country, they call her the white witch. And they take kids by the river and they bring them back years later and they're all messed up in the head. And I was like, I couldn't believe what you was talking about. like two people thought. And it reminded me of what I saw back, you know? And like, I'm like, what? And it kind of like, so ever since then, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:26:21 I just, I keep my eyes out, you know, whenever I'm out at sea, doing anything, whenever I'm doing any type of, you know, any, like in general, hiking or anything, I'll always keep my eyes out because there's always something, you know. But like, yeah, it just, it reminds me, you know, what I saw back in outside of a year ago I was you know a little young Dexieman and you know after deployment right I try to as soon as we got there's about three months three months later we got
Starting point is 00:26:53 back in the home port and I started scouring the internet about you know information and I found out you know Patagonia or the streets of Magellan have been known for years um for hundreds of years of seeing like, you know, sea monsters, even Bigfoot and like, you know, in mermaids, UFOs and all sorts of crazy things. Really? Even Bigfoot. Yeah, because from one of, I've done a lot of research, you know, I think that agonia means in Spanish, you know, land of the people big feet. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:29 That's not that means foot. Yeah, Angonia land. So, but if you could check that up for me, I'm going to look that up again. too, but I'm pretty confident I've seen that around. But like, it's, that's how crazy the area. It looks just like Alaska, if you were to look at pictures. Like, I have a picture of me and my buddies. We all took a picture together, you know, snowing in the background, you know. And not too many people would think, you know, South America would be, you know, snowing out there, you know. So when you, all right, so when you saw this head pop out of the water and you saw the shoulders,
Starting point is 00:28:03 the head, what kind of time distance are we talking about here between, when you saw that and when the other guys heard the women in the water laughing. It was crazy. It probably was within, I'll give you a ballpark, probably within two weeks at least. Wow. And are we talking about the same geographical area mostly? So anywhere, if you look at a map at Uruguay, like Montevito, and you're probably heading south to, you know, southern Chile, anywhere between that and the streets of Magellan, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And if you ever, if you look up any history of it, there's a lot of mermaid sightings there. Wow. Sources, you know, crazy stuff. Because it's such a, it's an isolated place. No one goes through there, you know, no one really talks about it, you know? Right. It's kind of a dangerous area to navigate. Oh, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I'm sure. You know, I just looked up the meaning of Patagonia and the origin. It says, denoting a member of a native people alleged. by travelers of the 17th and 18th centuries to be the tallest known. So yeah. Yeah, it's pretty crazy, right? Right. Like, um, it's nuts, but, you know, and on a falling deployment, it kind of, I kind of
Starting point is 00:29:23 go off topic, but on a falling deployment, I also, um, if you don't, if you, if you, let, if you don't mind me going off, uh, topic for a second, um, on a falling deployment, I saw, because I was a lookout too, and I, I had one of my supervisors with me. And we were, I don't know, I think it was around sunset, right? And this light in front of us, it was nothing like the first aircraft I saw, but it was just a light, you know, it was green out in front of us in the air above our ship, right? And it was flashing different lights. And we had some people on a ship that's called a Folksel, and they were doing some type of Bible study out there.
Starting point is 00:30:08 and in the evening, and we were just, me and my supervisor just happened to be staring at this thing when it happened when we're all watched. And it was flashing different colors and then all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:30:20 and poof, disappeared. And like, he was like, did you just see that? And I was like, yeah. And then we looked down
Starting point is 00:30:28 at everyone and they were like, you know, did you guys see that? You're like, I was a human star and we're like, no, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:30:35 You guys not see that? It's just crazy. Anyway, you know, like, it has to happen to most people in the military, or in the Navy at least, when they go out to see like that, you know. And so I don't know, I just, it's just crazy. But going back, just how much stuff you see out there. But like going back to the Patagonia, whenever I return back to Home Port, I start scouring the internet, you know, for information, I found that about Patagonia and the mermaids, sea monsters. and I looked on YouTube and it happened to have that Discovery Channel documentary come out. You know what I'm talking about with the Mermaid's.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah, yeah. I think it was like, I think they called it a mockumentary. Wasn't it that supposed to be like a fictional thing or am I, am I think of something different? Yeah. So it was fictional, but I think it was kind of based off of like maybe something, like they made it fictional,
Starting point is 00:31:34 like all the characters were actors, but it was sort of had some truth. behind it. Gotcha. And it just reminded me of what I saw. I was like, no way. Like, how crazy these things are, you know, how similar they are. And so, and, uh, yeah, just, just all sorts of crazy stuff, you know?
Starting point is 00:31:51 Yeah. You know, I'll tell you what. My, my uncle spent, I think he, I think he spent 23 years in the military in, uh, in the Navy. And so he spent a lot of time out and see. And, uh, I would say probably two, three, four months ago. I shot him a message on Facebook. And I said, you know, have you ever seen anything weird out in the Navy? see, you know, he would spend months out at the sea. And, you know, did you, would you see UFOs or anything
Starting point is 00:32:13 like that? And in 23 years, he said he never saw anything like that. And, and so I guess some, some people really go through their whole career, not seeing anything. Now, you're fortunate that you're young. I mean, you just graduated in 2010 from high school and you've seen this stuff already. Yeah. I mean, dude, if I was in your shoes and I've seen all this stuff, I would never, ever get out of the military. I'd be, I'd see every chance I get. I know. Like, It's just all my life. I just happen to be, I don't know. Like, I'm like that guy who plays a poker game.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I've never played in my life. And I end up winning the first. Like, but I'm not, like, I just, I have this one after. Sometimes, like, something will crash because I've worked in engineering. Something, whenever I'm on watch, something usually breaks or, you know, I'm like, not usually usually, but it happens to be whenever I'm on watch. Like, great, you know. But, like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:08 all my life is just like, I don't know, just, I just happen. Maybe it's my optimistic standpoint or me having an open, open-minded, you know, type of personality, I just happen to have these things happen. And, you know, like when I was younger, just around high school, and going to, if you like me, to go into the ghost and stuff, I've sort of, not so much ghosts, but like the spirits I've seen. Because back in high school, Red, I used the, I messed up, and use the Ouija board in my house.
Starting point is 00:33:41 And so it was, I think it was like my junior year or summer or something, but I was in my, you know, I was bored one summer, and I went to the mall, and I happened to go by some board game store. And I happened to see, like, you know, these wea boys at their song. And there's just a bunch of them in bulk. And just having a bunch of them. buy-will. I've seen a lot of shows where they use it. Maybe, like, I don't know, or maybe I'll try using it. I took it back home, and I remember I had like, like, a Starbucks drink with me.
Starting point is 00:34:21 I was like very nonch-slaunt. I put it, I went in my room turn on TV. I started, like, looking up information on how I use it. And so I turned off my TV and then sat aside my drink and I just by myself in my house. And I put my hands on it. on the, what is it, like a little triangle. There was like a little, little glass, right? It was like a little Hasbro, almost Ouija Boy that they had. And I started using it. And I put my hand on it, and I was like, are there any spirits here?
Starting point is 00:34:52 And it was just quiet and, you know, nothing happened. And I was just kind of like disappointed and I put it aside. And then probably like a couple minutes later, just like in my peripheral, kept on hearing it's almost like a breathing in my hallway. Not like a, like a, someone's like breathing like someone's like outside my hall, like in my hallway in my house and I turned the corner real fast and there's
Starting point is 00:35:20 no one there. And, you know, like, I'm like, this is all in your head, man, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:25 and I just, you know, I'm watching TV and I kept on hearing this breathing. I was like, no way. And it's like, this is really weird. And then,
Starting point is 00:35:35 you know, I decided to call my friend over, she's like a really good friend of mine and like childhood friend and she brings her friend over I told her I had a Ouija board in my house and I bought it and they're like oh cool let's let's use it and then you know they come over and
Starting point is 00:35:49 we use it I told her like I just heard some like breathing my hallway it's like really weird she's like shut out you're not you know and like we we start using it right and uh we know we ask if there's any spirits around and you know it's not really working and like we thought it was moving but it really wasn't I think our one of her friends was like moving it and like you know and then like let's try it one more time you know see if it you know
Starting point is 00:36:16 like let's be serious about this and we put our hands on it you know and then all of a sudden when we put our hands on it it was like all of the sound like sees like from outside there's like a playground like a park nearby and everything sees like the wind stopped the birds stop chirping He was really weird. I was like, do you hear that? It's like there's like nothing, you know? And like, and then after that, nothing really happened, you know? But, yeah, they ended up leaving and, you know, like my mom saw it and she just freaked out when she got home.
Starting point is 00:36:51 And she's like, get that thing out of this house. It was kind of funny, but kind of freaky because my mom had, you know, like how parents are. Like, you know, she got home and she saw it on my table and she started back. backing away from it. I was like, mom. I'm like, what's wrong? She's like, get that out of here. I was like, what's wrong? She's like, get that out of here. She's like, just started freaking out. And I didn't, I never knew the severity of like what I did, you know, after, you know, maybe following months, you know, years at my house, you know, some every once in a while. Just feels weird like there's someone always watching, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:28 Right. But, and, you know, I tried experimenting it with my friend one time. And, yeah, well, before that, I tried getting a video camera out to see if it would work, to see if, you know, I could record it. And so, you know, I was in my room. I, like, closed the door. And it was kind of like near night, like, kind of like in the evening. and I turned you know I had it out I started recording myself I'm like my name's this I'm about to use this Ouija board and then in my peripheral this the shadow just zoomed across my room and I was like okay
Starting point is 00:38:11 game over and turn off my camera and then I was like okay that was that was kind of weird you know and then yeah that happened and then my friend came over and he used it and you know I could say His grandma was a medium, so I was like, okay, cool, you know, maybe you have some type of, some traits your grandma has, you know, and then we used it, and it just got weird. He just, like, he got really, like, he kind of like went into a black where he just, you know, was like staring off, and he couldn't, like, he said he saw some red lighting or something really weird behind me. and yeah we just we just stopped there we open up the windows and you know open the doors and like him
Starting point is 00:39:00 over again so it's definitely not something you know you want to use but um but yeah that that picture that i showed you um that was probably like i think it was last year when i when i saw it so the picture i sent you yeah i know i actually shared that picture with the people that were watching so they can see the face that you're talking you're about to talk about okay um so what happened was like last i think it was last year for new years not this year about the year before for new years i was in my house i was just going through pictures and stuff and on my phone deleting old pictures things i don't need and i saw that picture and i just noticed something in it that i never noticed before and it of that face, kind of like right above my face, and it looked like just like a baby's face or something.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And like, I freaked out because that's exactly where I was sitting on my couch in my living room. And I was like, okay, time to go. Because my family members that live nearby, I'm like, it's time to go over there. And so, yeah, it was really weird. And I showed my aunt who took the picture and she was like, she kind of looked at me weird and she showed my other aunts. And they're looking weird. She's like, I don't remember that being there before. You know, like, neither have I. And that picture is probably like five years old, you know?
Starting point is 00:40:25 Wow. And so I thought that was pretty nuts. Yeah, I mean, so people see the face, though, right? I mean, like, it's not like people are like, I don't know if you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. So, like, because my brother, right, I showed like multiple friends of mine, the picture. And like, you know, they're like, wow, that's crazy. That's really weird.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I'm like, yeah. Like, he looks like a baby. I'm like, yeah, that's what it looks like, you know, a little kid. And so I showed my brother, who's an actual photographer. And he was just like, man, it's just like dust or something. I'm like, how's that dust, man? Yeah. He's just like, it's just part of the, but he's almost kind of like, he's like very rational about things, you know.
Starting point is 00:41:08 But I don't know if it's so much of that. Because when I were younger, my mom would tell a story that my brother had like, you know, an imaginary friend. like kind of like a you know like a real friend you like legitimately thought it was like imagine you know how kids you know have those imaginary friends but you know maybe that was like a spirit or something you know and he just doesn't believe in that type of stuff anymore so like yeah that's how i kind of think how he is now my parents would tell me some really weird stuff like he would legitimately go and he was like five or like four or five six would go with his imaginary friend play games with him like you know really weird stuff like that and i never had anything like
Starting point is 00:41:49 that you know but um yeah i think he's been more of like a rational type of guy you know now yeah i mean everybody reacts to this kind of stuff differently and um yeah you know i don't know when i'm looking at this picture and stuff i see the face it looks like there's two eyes a nose a mouth a hairline two ears yeah i mean it's clearly a face yeah yeah Yeah, it's pretty much. You know, none of us noticed that at the time. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else it could be other than a face. So I'm going to, what I'm going to do is I'm going to actually post this on the website when I post this show.
Starting point is 00:42:31 So people can actually go to the website and check it out and they can go check it out and stuff like that. Because it's clearly a face. And what I'll do is I'm actually going to, I'll post the original picture. picture with your face is blocked out. I'll put the, I'll put an emoji over your faces. And then I'll actually, I'll actually crop it out so they can actually zoom in and see the actual face itself. Okay, perfect. Yeah, but yeah, it's definitely like not once have I hampered with it. It was just a picture that, you know, that my aunt took years ago and none of us had noticed it. And I don't, I don't know if it's something that just appeared over the years or something.
Starting point is 00:43:13 But it's definitely just very, very weird, you know. Oh, big time, big time. In fact, there's been pictures that I've seen, you know, you see pictures online and people say, oh, look, there's a ghost there. And it's like, I don't see anything, you know. This is, I mean, when you send it to me, and I don't think I even totally read the email or something like that, I just saw there was a picture. I looked at it.
Starting point is 00:43:36 And the first thing I saw was the face in the background. It just pops right out. Yeah, it's creepy, right? but it's not it's not too creepy it looks from what it looks like it looks like a child's face you know so i'm not too worried about and in my house there's nothing really um crazy nothing like like i don't get like bruises or anything like anyone attacks us like a very like kind of like curious type of person like i'll be in my house every once in a while and around that time when i first used it i'd hear footsteps upstairs
Starting point is 00:44:12 And it was legitimate to where I thought my, one of my, because what had happened, I had an uncle come over with, with his girlfriend at the time. And they were getting ready to go at breakfast. And I remember them leaving, but I heard footsteps upstairs. And I was like, the uncle, you still here, you know? And I kept on hearing footsteps. And yeah, I was like, ooh, it's weird. I'm going to go. So like, you know, It's nothing too crazy over there, but, you know, there's something I want to, you know, mention to you. I thought it was good documentation, you know. Yeah, absolutely. I totally get it. So you said in the email at one point, you were having some very realistic nightmares about Sasquatch and a mermaid. Were they two separate occasions or did these dreams kind of tie together? And what were they?
Starting point is 00:45:09 Okay, so, yeah, so the first dream, right? So maybe a year, maybe six months after that whole mermaid incident. It might have been a year after, but I was over in my barracks room one night's sleeping. And I had this very realistic dream. Almost like, like it was very realistic, like very detailed. I was like I was somewhere sunny, some, some naval base somewhere. It looked like it possibly was me in the future. I was in like, you know, like a nice uniform, like a senior officer, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:54 senior enlisted type of position walking. And I was going through this, you know, this very top secret area. And these people saluted me and I salute them. And I walked in this into these gates into this area. and this guy comes over to me and he looks like some commando type of guy and he was just like, hey man, we just caught one of them and I was like, yo dude, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:46:17 And like, he's like, we're off the coast of Oman and we got onto a firefight with one of them. And I was like, I'm like, what are you talking about, man? And all of a sudden we approached this tunnel, right? And he's like, whatever you do, don't look in its eyes. And he walked down this tunnel and I was like, you know like what the heck is you talking about and then I walked down this dark tunnel right and at the end I could kind of make out what it is and it says you know you hear like sort of laster
Starting point is 00:46:47 and I can hear I well from what I could see going down the tunnel was this gigantic tank it was like a fish tank almost you know splashing around and these guys looked like they had from when I was walking down in my dream they had these type of pools and they're like shocking it with like a some type of pole like a like a taser almost and they're messing around with it
Starting point is 00:47:14 and I get to the end of the tunnel and there's all these like doctors, scientists watching this thing and these military, military people and I get to the end of the tunnel and this the water starts, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:28 mellowing out and you just start kind of seeing in it and I was like kind of looking at it And as soon as the water, you know, calmed itself down, I could see it. And it was a mermaid. Like, it was legit, like, what, I don't know what a realistic mermaid would look like, like not fiction, not something out of like a movie, but something, like, have you seen Harry Potter? Yeah, the goblet of fire where there's like a mermaid scene, right, where it's like
Starting point is 00:47:56 at a certain part in a tournament where he has to go find, they have to go rescue her And there's like the mermaid scene. It was sort of like that, but more realistic. Like more human, but more sinister. And I looked at it and it was looking at me. And she told me, she's like, I'm going to enjoy killing you one day. It was really weird. And I was like, I've never been so scared in my life.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Like, she didn't say that. It wasn't using any vocal. Like, she was telling me, like, telepathically. Like, it was really weird. And then the guy grabbed me by the shoulder. And he's like, I told you not to look at it. its eyes. And I like, you know, and then I looked back in its eyes and all of a sudden I woke up and she was like right above me. And then I was like, you know, I did not go to sleep. I woke up and I
Starting point is 00:48:45 walked around days and like I was just like so shocked. It was so real. And it was one of the scariest most realistic dreams I've ever had. So I don't know if that's something in the future or something something like my inner conscious is telling me. And I've looked. of my research into mermaids and folklore says that, you know, they have, you know, powers of telepathy, you know. And like, you're almost like, almost like in the witch type of folklore background. That's like the type of realm that they're in. And so, and I've also researched it to where I found some information on sightings in Zimbabwe also. And so it's just, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:49:32 But yeah, that was one of my most realistic dreams. Did that happen before or after your actual encounter with the possible mermaid? It was after, for sure. Okay. Do you think your experience had anything to do with this realistic dream? Yeah, for sure. Like maybe my curiosity of it, because I've always, after, ever since I saw that, I just kind of maybe one day I want to go down there and maybe go search.
Starting point is 00:50:04 for it or something, you know, just grab like some of my good friends with me and, you know, you know, like later on in the future and like maybe like go, go not hunted, but just go, you know, find some answers, you know. Yeah. But it was definitely realistic. Like, like, like it was almost like a glimpse into my future almost. So it was kind of scary. And I've told maybe a couple people about it. I told one of my friends about it. My like, really close friends. He's like, wow, that's a crazy dream. Like, I was like, yeah, right? And then I told, pulled one of my friends about it and she was like, have you ever read,
Starting point is 00:50:39 um, what's that book? The Alchemist. Have you ever read that book? Uh, no, I haven't. Well,
Starting point is 00:50:47 in the Alchemist, right, um, the kid in the movie, or not the kid, the kid in the book has like a dream. And it's more of like a realistic dream, like something that's like that soon to happen,
Starting point is 00:50:59 almost. And she told, she told me that's like something, maybe your future is like, wanting you to do or look into. And so I've always been kind of more curious because I have my normal military lifestyle I have and my with my family and my girlfriend. But, you know, on the side, like I do a lot of research for this stuff. And like, I don't know, I think maybe one day I might just find some answers or I think it's just all this type of stuff on, you know, Sasquatch,
Starting point is 00:51:27 Mermaids, UFOs. It's soon to come out pretty soon the truth about it. Yeah, I agree with you. And you sound like you're an adventurous kind of guy. I mean, you're in the military. You have these experiences. You want to go look into it more and stuff. And that's just how I am too. In fact, I can't help myself, but to get fascinated by it. If there's a mystery, I'm fascinated by it. And I would love to just go and search for these things. And I have with the Bigfoot stuff. I obviously never come close to one. I did find a footprint once, which was pretty cool. Oh, wow. Yeah, it was pretty cool. But, you know, I never really came close. But it's not even just the cryptids and the mysterious things like that, but it's also like, you know, what's that island called in the North Atlantic Ocean? I think it's called Oak Island or something like that. Where like these pirates, supposedly, the rumor is that they buried treasure and they set up all these booby traps and they're trying to find this treasure. And it's just like, that kind of stuff. that fascinates me. And so I'm here in Pennsylvania and I'm always looking good, looking for a good mystery in Pennsylvania that I can start, you know, trying to really dive into and see if I can put puzzle pieces together. I really enjoy that stuff. Yeah, definitely. Like, that's, that's how I just felt like all my life. Like, I, I, I kind of feel
Starting point is 00:52:49 like my aunts, my family kind of molded me with, you know, like, stories like, you know, like movies like Indiana Jones and my, my aunts traveled a lot. And that's one of reasons why I'm probably in the Navy, you know, is because, like, my curious. But a lot of these things are just, you know, all of a sudden have happened, you know? And I also, so I say about a couple years ago, I had that dream about the Sasquatch. And so I've never even seen one or I've just all I've seen is stuff like on TV and books, you know, like from Monster Quest, that old show. And from Sasquash Chronicles, I watched that too. I watched your show in Sasquatch Chronicles.
Starting point is 00:53:31 pretty much every week. That's cool, man. That's really cool. Yeah. So, but, I'm sorry. No, go ahead. What were you going to say? No, no, I was going to dive into the, what is it, the dream I had about the Sasquatch.
Starting point is 00:53:45 It was just, like, really random. Yeah, no, go for it. That's what I was going to bring up to you anyways. But, yeah, it was kind of like the first dream I told you about the mermaid, but this time, I was, I was summer. I don't even know, like, maybe somewhere in some foothills, maybe. Idaho or Montana or something. I was with a bunch of people and I ended up we were doing something and somewhere in the back of my mind was we have to get back like to base or to wherever we're at
Starting point is 00:54:15 because we were being chased down by these things and it was it was very realistic like um because I'd be I'd be walking right and all of a sudden I see a saskatch like you know it was gigantic from afar and I've never been so scared in my life and like we'd be walking try to find a different path and we'd be almost being cornered by like a group of them and uh what it kind of reminded me of was uh um like brutes from uh you know the game halo you ever play that game yeah it's been a while yeah it was almost something like that like something just ginormous in size almost and um it was it was just crazy and then it got nut it turned into night and we were still being followed by them and then yeah i just i i think we ran into them one
Starting point is 00:55:06 one last time but it was it was very realistic it was like a a realistic swash like kind of like how i saw the mermaid but this time it was you know it's very realistic um but yeah it's just it's crazy those two dreams i've had that were just but the first one was very detailed this one was like kind of short and very random, you know. And I don't know if this is somewhat of like a glimpse in the future or someone's life or something or it's just crazy, you know, to where I want to share with people, you know. Yeah. I mean, I think that, I think sometimes dreams, I shouldn't even say sometimes. I think a lot of times, especially if you remember your dream, it probably holds weight to something. I don't know what. I'm not a dream interpreter. I don't go to
Starting point is 00:55:54 somebody to interpret my dreams, but I do think that there's an importance with dreams. And, you know, I don't know. I mean, maybe one day. You never know, you know what I mean? Yeah, I hear you. I've done a lot of research into David Pliadis and Mission 411. Have you ever ventured into that or read about it? Yeah, I've definitely listened to interviews of his and things like that. Yeah, and it just, it kind of freaks me out because I've seen like a seminar he's had where he talks about the three types of people that go missing in his book. And they're usually hunters, you know, endurance athletes, and then it's like doctors and scientists.
Starting point is 00:56:44 And like, I'm kind of like an endurance athlete myself. I do a lot of trap on marathons. and, you know, it kind of like freaks me out. It's like I kind of don't want to go by myself and any national parks by myself because I feel like I'll end up disappearing or something, you know? But like, you know, it's just crazy, you know. Yeah, I know what you mean, man. That's a real mystery that, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:09 I mean, David took it pretty far, but I don't know how much further you can go with it as far as trying to find out answers because clearly there's obstacles to over come like, you know, the Freedom of Information Act, you know, and things like that. Like, you think that should be easy, but he had, he had a pull teeth to get any, any information. And so, uh, you know, I'm not sure, but, uh, it's definitely a fascinating, uh, line of thinking. And I think there is, obviously there's merit to it because there are these real missing people that keep coming up. And, uh, it's not stopping. Mm-hmm. Yeah, definitely. Um, I was really fascinated and kind of creeped out. And, um,
Starting point is 00:57:48 I was looking into the Lisa Land case. Did you ever hear about that? She was a Canadian girl that went missing in Los Angeles. Okay. I've never heard of it. So it's really interesting because he talks about it too because a lot of his, you know, people that go missing, he doesn't say it is, because he's an investigator, right?
Starting point is 00:58:12 He doesn't say a lot of these people were, you know, in the national parks that's the Sasquatch, but it's, you know, it probably is. But through all this, you know, his investigations, the really weird one was Elisa Land. We're, or I think her name's Elisa Land, but she was in Los Angeles, right? And because I'm here.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And when I was in downtown, kind of reminded me of it, and I was kind of keeping a close eye because it was at the, uh, the Cecil Hotel. And so she, she was just a Canadian girl, and she was with her friends. and she happened to stay at this hotel that, like, Richard Ramirez, the serial killer, like, died at, apparently years back and all sorts of weird paranormal stuff has happened there. And they have video of her, her last siding, and she was in this elevator, and she was just kind of looking dazed and confused, like, you know, and they ended up finding she had, she was bipolar.
Starting point is 00:59:13 and they think that she might have not taken her for medication. But she was almost like, you know, looking around weird. She walked into an elevator with the camera of that. And she was kind of like looking around the elevator, doing some weird stuff. Like there was like, she's possessed almost or if there's someone in the hallway. And then she just like all of a sudden just walks down this hallway. And then she's gone.
Starting point is 00:59:39 People don't see her after that. And so in the story of what happened. And so, now I remember, I think I was on leave when I heard the story when it happened, that she went missing. And I think it was for about two weeks she was missing. And then all of a sudden the guests at the hotel, the water in the sinks and their bathrooms were turning black. And you're like, what the heck? And the maintenance guy went and checked the water tank on the top, the roof on the building. they found her body in it.
Starting point is 01:00:15 But what was really strange was that there's no way her body could fit in that little, kind of little water tank, you know? And yeah, David Politey's you know, just positive elimination, just, you know, was trying to show,
Starting point is 01:00:31 you know, there's no way she went missing for that long and she was just up there the entire time. And, you know, me as an engineer, I've, you know, have worked with water treatment. You, you know, there's no way she was in there for that long. She must have somehow gotten into it.
Starting point is 01:00:46 And I guess a little manhole or the little, there's no way for her to fit in it. She's all of a sudden just popped up in it, you know. And a lot of David Pliad of these people that he's investigated, they're found, you know, without any type of, like, symptoms of being restrained or any type of, like, violent type of behavior. And, you know, she's just like, I think she was just, naked in the tank or something.
Starting point is 01:01:15 But that's a lot of, you know, type of sentence that, you know, the people that pass away, you know, who are doing by these investigations. Yeah, it's definitely, it's definitely fascinating. And I don't say fascinating, where lightheartedly, it's a fascinating, intriguing situation where these are very odd situations that people go missing and things like that. Yeah. Before we wrap this up, I would like for you to talk about this, the death of your cousin,
Starting point is 01:01:51 who, are you seeing signs that she's okay? What happened here? Okay, so, yeah, I actually had to talk to one of my odds to see if it was okay to talk about. But, you know, it's just really weird. Yeah, because my cousin, she's, she's only 12 years old when she just passed away a couple years ago. And, you know, it just, it's just, it's, it's, crazy. She's just a nice little girl, you know, and, you know, nothing, you know, um, yeah, she was just a very, like, good girl, very good student. And, you know, like, as soon as she passed away, even at her, at her funeral, um, because it was, you know, I was in Texas, and it was that. And it was kind of a sunny day. And all of a sudden, um, as soon as soon as we
Starting point is 01:02:41 started like, you know, moving her body to the burial site. It started raining on us, like, like really hard, just in our spot at the funeral area. And it was just nuts. And like, she just shows us, like, a lot of signs, a lot of her family members. And, like, whenever, I think it was like a couple days after, me and my uncle wouldn't go to her grave site, you know, where he's at. And you, like, set some flowers down for her, and this tiny little yellow butterfly came by and landed right on the flowers. And it would kind of, like, kind of moved its wings at us, like, kind of like a wink or, like, a smile or something. And so we kind of just looked at each other and was like, you know, she's in a better place almost.
Starting point is 01:03:35 And then it just took off kind of like very, you know, very slowly. just flew away. But in Azteculture, because I'm Mexican, ashtic culture, butterflies are kind of like a good sign of, you know, family members when they pass away that they're,
Starting point is 01:03:52 you know, they're nearby and that they're okay, you know? And, yeah. And then as soon as I left, because I was at that time, moving from Florida to Texas, I just happened, my cousin passed,
Starting point is 01:04:07 you know, my cousin passed away at that time. So I had my U-Haul and everything with me. And as I was, you know, driving back to California, this huge swarm of butterflies were migrating through Texas. And my whole, you know, because I was kind of not like, I was kind of like sad and, you know, pretty down about my cousin passing away. And I was kind of like worried about, you know, like driving with all my stuff to California.
Starting point is 01:04:38 and all these butterflies were just like flying everywhere on the freeway back home and my whole windshield was covered with like tiny little baby butterflies and so I thought that was just like an amazing type of thing I told my mom and my family about it and it just you know just kind of gives me hope for you know you know death and everything
Starting point is 01:05:03 because I know you had that guy that was on a show he was like the kind of like the John of God of Hawaii. Yeah. He kind of spoke about, yeah, he kind of spoke about how people that experience death, um, that they're more grateful for life and they're usually like happier people. They're, you know, they take life, you know, for, you know, more serious, you know, it kind of like, kind of made me this whole experience kind of, um, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:30 very grateful and make me pursue things that, uh, maybe I thought were impossible before. and so but I still continue seeing signs of her with these butterflies like I it's kind of it's like I'll be on a range like you know shooting um shooting rifle and pistol and a little butterfly will come up whenever I think I'm like doing bad at shooting and it'll come up right on my range like kind of like flying by like in front of like the muzzle of a gun you know and it's just kind of like I feel like that's just her you know and I'll be you know like I was out of school at that time, around the time when she passed away. And the butterfly was kind of like flying around me and this instructor and all these people and no one kind of
Starting point is 01:06:15 noticed it except me. They were just flying around us and kind of flying around me for at least a couple minutes. And then it just took off, you know? But yeah, it's just nuts, you know? Yeah. You know, it's, I find that, you know, it's really cool that there's things that you go through hard times in life and people find comfort in things that, uh, in unexpected places like you're just sharing now and stuff. And I, I, I think that that's really cool. Um, and you sent me off on a different line of thinking when you mentioned about you being Mexican and how these are things that are kind of commonly thought on, uh, in that culture. Uh, and if you don't mind, I want to ask you a question. You may never
Starting point is 01:07:03 heard of this before, but I wanted to ask you because this is the first time I've ever thought about it since really, since it happened. When I was younger, I was in my early 20s. I used to be a mechanic. I used to work on cars. And I was in a garage where one of the guys was Mexican. And I think we might have been talking about Bigfoot or something like that. We got on these topics. And he said to me that in Mexico, a lot of people believe that when a girl turned to, you know, he said, you know, 16 years old that a leprechaun comes to her at night and has sex with her. And he really, really believed this. Is that something you've ever heard of before? No, I've never heard of that. But, like, you know, some Aztec and Mayan cultures, you know, I wouldn't surprise me by like
Starting point is 01:07:55 some of the things that, you know, because I've never heard about the butterfly type of thing until my cousin passed away. And so, and, you know, my family would share stuff about it. And, like, it's very real thing. Like, my cousin almost, not always with butterflies, but just with signs, like, I think even, like, in her back home where they're at, like, she'll shut off. Like, I'm just, this has come up to my, this just happened to come up to my head. But my aunt, I guess, because my cousin really loved, like, pastry.
Starting point is 01:08:30 and cakes and stuff. From when I just saw my aunt a week ago, she told me that they smell like cake being baked and cookies being baked, but there's nothing being cooked in their kitchen at all. And I guess that's something that's been happening a lot. And so, but I don't know if it's just, you know, there's a lot of stuff with asset culture that will, you know, surprise you, you know, like that.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Many people, I've never heard of that before, but that could be something. you know, like almost like a, like an incubus or succubis type of thing. I don't know. That's, I've never heard of that, but I'll have to look into that. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Because I find it very, I find it very interesting. So, uh, but I'll tell you what, Rob, man.
Starting point is 01:09:16 I really appreciate being on here and sharing these experiences. Definitely the mermaid stuff, dude. That is fascinating. So I thank you for coming on, man. No, I really appreciate you having me on and give me the opportunity to talk. and, you know, maybe show some light to some people, you know, maybe some other military folks that have seen stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:39 No problem. And people that maybe have, you know, kind of lost hope with their family that have passed away and, you know, just to keep on, you know, being optimistic and just know, just know that's not okay. Because my cousin, you know, she, her passing away was just, it hit my family pretty hard, you know, so where they're still being, you know, pretty. hurt by that. But you just continue seeing signs of her and it's just, it's warm. You know, it's comforting for sure. But yeah, thank you so much for having me on your show.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Yeah, for sure, man. For sure. I mean, it's one of those things, man, where if I have somebody that's in the military and they want to talk about some things that they've experienced while they're in military, that's an open door to anybody who's listening. I love that stuff. So, yeah, awesome stuff, man. I really appreciate it. And keep in touch.
