Episode Date: April 16, 2024

In episode 643: Quest For The Ancient Sundial, Brian Jeffrey, from Black Mass Paranormal, joins us in studio to dive into the mysterious and often eerie realm of the paranormal across East Tennessee. ...He explores unsettling missing person cases like that of Summer Wells and discusses bizarre phenomena such as potential portals and supernatural activities. Brian takes us through personal encounters with inexplicable sounds and sightings in mystifying locales like Black Mountain and Frozen Head. He shares chilling accounts of a shadowy figure, a witch-like presence, and ghostly translucent entities, reflecting on the challenges of documenting such elusive phenomena with antiquated equipment. Brian also ventures into speculative territory with mentions of possible government cover-ups and portals to other dimensions. Tony then shares his future plans to return to a site he'd visited 4 years prior, with new information on what could possibly be reptilian entities occupying the area.Black Mass Paranormal: https://www.youtube.com/@blackmassparanormal Sasquatch and the Missing ManWatch the Live Premiere on REPLAY here: https://www.moment.co/sasquatchTeaser Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3b4tTY9bssThe Confessionals Members App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZBecome a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinWatch The Shape of Shadows: merkelfilms.comWatch Expedition Dogman: merkelfilms.comAFFILIATESPrepare with Valley Food Storage: https://alnk.to/2uG55AOGet your Nephilim Blaster 2000: https://alnk.to/9mnHak1Bluecosmo Satellite phones: https://alnk.to/e769EipSee Bigfoot with Sionyx night vision: https://alnk.to/bEhxr3FEmergency medical with My Medic: https://alnk.to/dpr6QM4Black Beard Fire Starters: https://alnk.to/4BFcIbeEcoFlow Power Generators: https://alnk.to/flvpAQwGoDark Faraday Bags: https://alnk.to/5jke3rkEMP Shield: empshield.com Coupon Code: "tony" for $50 off every item you purchase!SPONSORSSIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.comSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterMAILING ADDRESS:Merkel Media257 N.

Starting point is 00:00:01 Merkel. Media. There's so much other stuff that I feel like has been overlooked. There's just something going on that we just can't quite touch. I would take a polygraph test. I would put my hand on a stack of bibles saying that one day this almost happened to me. And it was one of the weirdest experiences of my life. And I see this figure.
Starting point is 00:00:29 And it's this black figure that is seen in the paranormal. So we're approaching the field and we see these bright white lights out at the field. This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill but no one was supposed to talk about it. Each up underneath the door, curl up to grab it and then disappear. When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me. Giant comes out of the cave and they're all. frozen and he starts running and firing at this giant. With a giant move, he's got a spear in one hand and he's running really fast and holds him up
Starting point is 00:01:34 like this. Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face. They basically decapitated. Feel something and I look over and there are two getting pulled off the best. Bush and couldn't breathe and it couldn't move because I know I'm seeing a monster. Welcome to the show, everybody.

Starting point is 00:03:38 we have a documentary coming out here on May 5th. Sasquatch and the Missing Man. We went out to Washington to hunt the Bigfoot at Ground Zero where Wes Germer had his infamous Bigfoot encounter. We had some bonkered things happened that week, including a missing person case. It turned into a 4-1-1 case real quick. If you want to watch the world premiere of that documentary on May 5th at 8 p.m. Easter standard time, go to moment. dot CO slash Sasquatch. We partnered with Moment to bring you this live event. Moment.com slash Sasquatch. Link in the description below. You can purchase the tickets there, and that is where you are going to be watching it. All one location for your convenience.
Starting point is 00:04:19 All right, friends, thanks for being here. Today we have Brian here in studio. Brian, what is going on, man? Not a whole lot, man. How you doing? Dude, man, we were sitting here talking for like an hour. We got to pretend we weren't talking here the whole time. I know. Just to let people know if you're listening right now, if you want to hear, I think it was like about 30 minutes of a conversation we had beforehand. It was totally off topic, but I thought it was a good conversation. And Jack, I was sitting here talking with you.
Starting point is 00:04:43 We're just talking and chilling all of a sudden. I see the camera lights flashing back and forth. And Jack is, I'm like, oh, Jack's recording. Now I feel like I have to perform. Dance monkey. And so we're going to put that up for the members, call it an overtime. But it was like a pre-over-time because it happened before this. But anyways, it was a good.
Starting point is 00:05:02 good conversation. We talked about dystopia, things that we're going to do to prepare for the end of the world and everything in between, and also dealing with public pressure. Yeah. You know, you know, a little scene behind the curtains there because, you know, I don't know. I don't know if people, I just don't know how people perceive certain things, but it was nice to have a conversation with you about it because it's like, you know, we can kind of understand the stresses. You know, we're not Bill, like, we're not Joe Rogan. We don't have, you know, millions of fans that, you know, are, but with the millions of fans, he has everybody doing things for him and he can just, like, not care at all about anything other than doing what he wants to do.
Starting point is 00:05:40 And so, like, we have to micromanage and we see things and we're like, it affects you, you know, on an emotional level, on a psychological level. And it was good to kind of just talk with you about that. But I wanted to have you in here because, you know, it's been too long. That's essentially what it is. For sure. I mean, you were here once before for the show. Since then, I think you and I have done YouTube videos several times and all that. But actually, you will be in a documentary that we're coming out with in 2025. You joined up with us on one of the nights where we were hunting things.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Maybe we'll get into that a little bit. I don't know. But anyways, you've been in my life, but you haven't been on the podcast more than once. And I was like, bro, I think I said to you in the text, I said, when are you going to come into the studio and give me another heater? Yeah. I'm just like right up the road. Yeah, dude. It's what, 20 minutes from here? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah. I mean, like, it should be here every other week, you know? I should. Yeah. I mean, I'm pulling my friend Joel from Cincinnati, Ohio, down here four hours, four hour drive and he's here like, it seems like every other month. And you're like 20 minutes away. You're like, yeah, I'll get there when I'll get there. You know? I could ride my bike here. Yeah, you really could. You really could.
Starting point is 00:06:53 But we were talking in the overtime that people are going to hear. At the very end, you brought up a missing person case. You had mentioned to me that you started getting into missing people cases. And I was like, stop. I want this on the public side of things. Let's just pick it up there and we'll see where this goes. Well, you know, where I was going with that, you know, I think that it's something that all of this. fits together somehow with this missing person case with these missing person cases along with
Starting point is 00:07:31 the big foot sightings dog man sightings all of this stuff somehow even though it seems so far away from each other um they they all fit together somehow and i've been i was very hesitant to kind of go back and forth i was i was very hesitant and going back and forth on whether or not I should get involved in this one case. In East Tennessee, it's the Summer Wells case, which is because you've got a, you have the politics side of it, but you also have the paranormal side of it. And I decided one day that I was going to go over there, go to Warriors Path, where the last location where she was seen, well, she was recorded. supposedly there.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And just kind of experience Warriors path, kind of get the feeling of the place. And for one, dude, Warriors path is a weird location. Why? It just has that energy. It's got that weird, you're uncomfortable kind of, you feel like you're
Starting point is 00:08:41 being watched, you don't know what's watching you. And I actually captured something on thermal there that I don't understand. And, you know, I started, once I got done at Warrior's Path, what I had captured at that time seemed like a Bigfoot. I was getting all the typical signs, the knockings, the, when I experienced Bigfoot in East Tennessee, what I typically, my first indicator is this knocking.
Starting point is 00:09:22 that I hear and that kind of gets my attention. And then often I'll hear this kind of pacing or kind of running back and forth. I had all kinds of audio trouble. And I was wearing a mic. Like it wasn't just like I didn't have anything. But I was having that whole episode, my audio is crazy. And I don't really understand why. then once I leave Warriors Path because they the parents of Summerwells said that she was she walked out of the house and that's when she disappeared.
Starting point is 00:10:06 So the working theory was that somebody had came off of the one lane road and traveled up the side of this embankment. grabbed her without anybody knowing, right? Now, mind you, there is no cell phone service in 2024 at this location. Are you serious? Yeah. My cell phone was completely dead the whole time. So I, you know, I'm in the woods a lot. I'm in the mountains a lot.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I'm used to hiking an elevated climb. And they said that she disappeared and she disappeared in June. And I just kind of sat there and I looked at it and I was like, there is no way that a person could have climbed up the side of this embankment, grabbed a little girl, took her back down the embankment without making any noise. So something was happening here. And there's no cell phone service. So it's not like say that there was a person involved up on top of the
Starting point is 00:11:19 the hill. They couldn't have used a cell phone, at least with AT&T, but AT&T gets pretty good service. No, I'm not trying to plug them or anything, but they're not a sponsor yet. But, you know, there was no service. So there would have to have been some sort of arrangement to know, you know, where she would be, you know, without alerting the other kids, you know, because the grandmother was supposed to have been there, the mother was supposed to have been out front. The whole situation is just, and still to this day,
Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm really confused, you know, more than anything, but I wanted to at least make a video talking about the story of it, you know, because I think it's important, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:05 whether or not she was involved in like a human trafficking type situation or, you know, she wandered off into the woods. You know, want to her she still hasn't been found you know so people in my opinion need to know what she looks like and know her story and then with my platform i think i kind of have an obligation to do that you know being i was and i was trying to be as impartial as i could because i know the wells family has
Starting point is 00:12:33 received a ton of hate you know um but at this point why would they receive a bunch of hate Well, they went on Dr. Phil even. And they, at first, Don passed the polygraph, but the mother was not able to pass the polygraph. So they think something happened to the kid because of the family. Well, you know, they also did that like, I mean, imagine, imagine you. I mean, try to put yourself, I mean, you're a parent, you know, even if you, had nothing to do with it. Do you think you could go into a polygraph and pass it? I don't, I'm never taking a polygraph. I mean, do you, I mean, do you think that you could make rational
Starting point is 00:13:18 like, no, no, you couldn't, you couldn't. Your, your mind would not be on the, on the topic, you, I would imagine it would take if, if my, if my daughter or my son was missing, I, I, I can't even imagine, like, they would have to ask me the questions like five or six times, Because I couldn't, there's no way. So, you know, I tried to be impartial about that situation. And then I did reach out to the family and nobody knows this. But I told them, you know, what I do. I mean, you know my experience in the mountains.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I'm very good in the mountains. I'm from East Tennessee, you know, and I offered to go look, you know, on their property. in locations possibly, you know, they may have thought, you know, to overlook or didn't know that could possibly be there. And I didn't get the response that I thought I was going to get it. You know, they were very polite, you know. They said, well, you know, thank you. We'll keep you in mind. But, and I didn't know how to take that, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And it was very, I don't, I mean, I would imagine if, I don't. know if I had anybody reaching out to me saying, hey, you know, I've got these set of skills, you know, can I help? Yeah. I'd be like, yeah. Yeah. What do I care? Yeah, come today.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Today. You're volunteering? It's not going to cost me money anymore? Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because, I mean, like, we had the missing person case in Washington that we came across.
Starting point is 00:14:55 And when I talked to, I went on West's show and talked about it like a week after we came back from the trip. Yeah. And when he put that out, West's. has a massive audience. Right. And it turns out somebody who knew John Guffey listened to that podcast,
Starting point is 00:15:15 sent that podcast to John Guffey's ex-fiancee, who then reached out, and I'm on the phone with her like a week later. And she told me on the phone, she's like, I don't care, because I told her what we were doing out there. And I told her the history of the area with Wes's experience.
Starting point is 00:15:30 And she goes, I don't care if it was somebody, a person, or Bigfoot. I just want to know what happened to John. And that's his ex-fiancee. And she's like, I don't care what. I just want to know what happened. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Yeah. And they, and to keep his name, his likeness out there, you know, for people to recognize, you know. And I've seen this happen in a couple, in several cases, the Michael Herron case, you know, up there in Abrams Creek. Yeah. Um, and it, it's weird how things kind of playing off, you know, when, when this stuff is happening. And, you know, I think that a lot of it. What do you mean playing off? Like as far as attention goes? Right. Okay. You know, you've got like the first couple of weeks, people are interested. Everybody's talking about it. But then it just kind of. Life is out. Yep. You know, and people are just, they somehow are able to accept that it's gone. The world just. opens up and swallows you sometimes. That's a scary reality to think about, you know? Essentially, that's a great way to describe it because there is no answers with him.
Starting point is 00:16:50 It's just, mm-hmm. Yeah. He's gone. Like he was here. The neighbor saw him driving down the road. They waved. He didn't seem like he was panicked. He left his keys, his gun, his phone in the truck, got on a four-wheeler, driving down
Starting point is 00:17:04 the road. Hey, neighbor, that's the last person ever saw him. They find the four-wheeler in bushes. Yeah. Empty tank. Key in the on position? Key in the on position. No, the tank was still full. It was in high gear. Like, just
Starting point is 00:17:20 yeah, swallowed him up. Like, he was cruising down the road and then just was no longer on the four-wheeler. You know, there was no sign of a struggle. There was no blood on the four-wheeler. There was no they might have found like one piece of clothing or something that they weren't sure was even connected to him. But yeah, and then I go to these locations and it's really kind of interesting.
Starting point is 00:17:48 And my son actually said something to me the other day. He had just gone on this ROTC trip and he came back, the place that. he went to was supposedly haunted. And, you know, he comes with me to a lot of locate, you know, to different locations. And he's a very technical person. Like the whole, even the paranormal thing, he's really, he's highly, highly intelligent. So the whole paranormal thing to him right now is still kind of like. My dad's a hillbilly.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah. But then it was really cool because. He got to go to a location that everybody said was haunted. And he came back. He was like, Dad, everybody said this place was haunted, but it's not like the locations that you take me to. And I was like, you got it. You got it.
Starting point is 00:18:49 We've had a breakthrough. Yeah. Like, there's just a totally different, like, feeling. And, you know, there's places in the smoky mountains that, you know, you go to and it's totally comfortable and it's just relaxed. And then there's other places that you go to where you feel like something's about to go down and you don't know what it is. You know, and another location that I've been really studying is Frozenhead, which is going
Starting point is 00:19:20 to be all over the place, I would imagine here pretty soon. Dude, before we go into Frozen Head, I feel like we moved off that missing person case in what was it, Warriors Path? Yeah. So where are you at with that whole thing? Their response to you, is that pretty much as far as you've gotten with it? Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:40 But I'm going to go back. Is Warriors Path near Newport? It's near Kingsport. Kingsport. Yeah. I know Spectrum is in Kingsport because I was dealing with Spectrum today. So Kingsport has a very bad drug epidemic happening right now. Newport does too, right?
Starting point is 00:19:58 Newport does, too, right? Newport does as well. You know, human trafficking is really bad. So there, I feel like the most of this investigation has been driven towards that side of it. Yeah. You know, and rightfully so, you know. And because when summer first disappeared, you know, they had basically the whole town out like looking for this little girl, you know. and the only evidence that they had was a red Tacoma pickup truck that they said.
Starting point is 00:20:33 So I went and drove, you know, down the road, you know, and like, it just didn't make sense. No, I didn't. Good, good, good call. I didn't, although I probably should have because I would have fit in a little bit better. You brought the Subaru? Yeah, but the Subaru. Better on gas. Dude, so much better on gas.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I mean, I love my truck, but man, it's killing me on gas, but I got to take it to some locations, you know. Yeah. I try to balance it out. But anyway, and the road, I mean, it's basically like a neighborhood road, essentially. You know, you kind of turn off this one really long stretch of a back, east Tennessee back road onto another road that there's, I think, probably. probably three or four houses that are back there that lead to basically one house, you know. It's not a cul-de-sac, but, and there's random dogs everywhere, you know. East Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Goats, chickens, you know, you're trying to avoid. So there's no, like, the way that it was, it was the way that it was described in media was that, like, that it was, like, that it was. It was a very fast abduction. And from me going out there and looking at it, I don't think that it could have been fast. Because one, just the roads to get to the location, you know, is very, they're long, there's not a whole lot around. You know, there's no cell phone service. getting up that hill. Like they basically have this house on
Starting point is 00:22:25 like on an impassable hill. Like if if shit hits the fan, I would love to have their house. The house where the girl went missing. Yeah. So what you're describing sounds like something that is illogical to target if you're doing human trafficking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:43 It's like why make it more difficult? Yeah. Is that what you're thinking? Yeah. Yeah. And it was just, there's so much other stuff that I feel like has been overlooked. Yeah. And it just, it just doesn't seem logical to me. But if you were going to, I'll go through all of this trouble for, I mean, nothing against summer, but just one little girl. Yeah. You know, and you could snatch somebody from Walgreens.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And it's, it's a, you got to think, like, once the abduction happens, you have to have the escape route. Yeah. And what you're describing, I'm picturing roads that probably aren't the kind of roads you're going to go flying down. And it's like you're going to notice that one vehicle going. Let's put it this way. So I grew up in East Tennessee. East Tennessee is known for moonshine. I would never make a moonshine delivery in this location.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Why? Because there's no way out. Okay. Like, a criminal would be like, you'd see that location and be like, no. Yeah. No. Like, well, we'll just leave it here. No.
Starting point is 00:23:54 You'll trap me. Mm-hmm. You know. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. So you and I talk about this stuff a lot. We talked about with Michael's case, the idea of portals.
Starting point is 00:24:08 And, you know, his, you know, we could go down the route of, with Michael's case. I mean, there, and we can go with any of these cases, it's East Tennessee. It's all East Tennessee. so it's it's crazy but we could talk about you know was a bigfoot was it dog man feral people portal like there's a lot of things that happen here that aren't i don't know if i don't think i think i can safely say somebody who comes from the philadelphia area to here i don't think that the things that happen here uh happen just anywhere right uh there there's i say this about certain locations here, but in general, East Tenet Sea, it's a very ancient location, and it's
Starting point is 00:24:51 magical. I don't know how I was to describe it. It is. It's magical. It is. And there's things here that defy logic, understanding, you as a local don't have a grasp on the understanding. I don't. Like, we have ideas, but it's like there's just something going on that we just can't quite touch. And so with these missing people cases, it makes me wonder what percentage of the missing people cases have to do with what we do. And I'm sure by now Jack has flashed on the screen, but just so I cover my bases, you host the YouTube channel Black Masked Paranormal. Oh, yeah. Forget about that. You say what I do for it?
Starting point is 00:25:34 It's like, well, what do you do? And I know you were talking about rebranding and stuff. So the name might change, but the face will be the same. but with what we do and the way we look at things, I think that there is real room for investigations in Mississippi cases in this area and areas that might be like this area for lenses that bring this kind of perspective. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:04 It's not going to be taken serious. No. And even the victims, the families of the victims, probably wouldn't take it serious. there's this definite back door that needs to be taking place. Like you went to the family and the way they responded, fine. But maybe there's still room to continue the investigation without permissions, doing it legally, but doing it anyways with your own methodology that allows for the possibility of discovering where these people have gone because we look at things differently than what the
Starting point is 00:26:38 police would look at it as. Yeah. But it also puts me in a position at risk, you know? 100%. Because part of the agreement was that I would do it with no cameras, no, you know, just me. Who? With agreement with who? The family. That's what I told them. Oh, I got you. You told them that you would do it no cameras and that's when they said, I got you. Okay. Yeah. So, you know. So if you did it no cameras, one, there'd be no documentation. So it's not even YouTube friendly. No. But if you're in it to solve the case,
Starting point is 00:27:11 there's still the problem of if you're if you're straight up going alone like that yeah i mean anything could happen oh absolutely that's and that's and that's happened to me before what has you went through a portal things just went wrong um no in abrams creek um i was several miles out in the woods and um i lost power to everything um i remember you told me that yeah it was weird um you know, I would imagine most people like, oh, no, it's not a big deal. But, you know, for some people, that would be a very big problem, especially, you know, being out in the mountains. It would cause complete panic. You know, all of a sudden, your flashlights don't work.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Your nothing works, you know, we become so reliant on technology. You know, you've been staring at this GPS walking through the mountains this whole time. And then all of a sudden, your GPS is no longer there. You know, it's very, it's very. I know. I'm such a handicap person with some of this stuff because like, I need to get better at my own navigation apart from technology. This way. And instead of doing that, I went to the easier route.
Starting point is 00:28:25 And I was like, I was looking at Apple Watchers. I got this Apple Watch. And I got the, I think it's called the Ultra, which I push this button and it automatically starts tracking my footsteps. So I can just backtrack if I need to, right? But what if I'm in a situation like you where everything just dies? and I've watched them like, well, fall in the sun, I guess. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Well, I mean, I've got my military experience and, you know, I carry a compass and I'm pretty decent at tracking. So even if a situation like that happens, and when it happened to me, you know, that first initial jolt, like, oh, wait, am I lost? But, you know, I knew that I could get myself at it. Then I was able to kind of calm myself down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 You know, but it can happen, man. And no matter what kind of equipment you have, no matter how experienced you are, you know, and just like that, things can go wrong. Yeah. You know. I wonder, and this probably, some people might say that this is irresponsible to even talk about, but I don't care. Seven years into this, I get irresponsible sometimes. I want to ask you on those two missing people cases, going from the perspective that you go from, and me obviously with everything we do, what do you think the percentage odds are that something
Starting point is 00:29:52 other than what traditionally would be thought to have human trafficking, somebody just picked her up, took her, she fell down a ravine to, you know, she walked into a portal and didn't come out. You know, like, like, I imagine the percentage of that happening is probably lower than the other, but in your gut,
Starting point is 00:30:14 like, what do you think? I mean, do you think that there is a higher likelihood of that happening than people would want to give it credit for? Absolutely. Absolutely. People don't understand,
Starting point is 00:30:24 like, how real these things are, you know, we like to kind of, you know, close their eyes and, um, just imagine, you know, something.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Another bad thing happened, you know, that's explainable. But, you know, what... We can't explain it, but we know it's explainable. Right. Right. Well, it's a part of, you know, us being on, you know, this planet, you know, that we just don't understand yet. Yeah. It is what it comes down to.
Starting point is 00:30:54 We just truly, as much as we like to think that we can Google anything, there's so much that we just flat out don't understand. because, you know, even the scientific theory is about reproducing your results. What if you can't reproduce it? Does that mean that it doesn't exist? Yeah. You know? Yeah. And in East Tennessee, I have found these locations, in my opinion, because I swear I would take a polygraph test.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I would put my hand on a stack of bibles saying that one day this almost. happened to me. And it was one of the weirdest experiences of my life. And it happened so quick. And it was just like, and that was in Black Mountain, which is another location that I talked to you, tried to get you come out on with me. It's not a matter of try. It's a matter of time. We'll get there. Yeah. And, you know, it was, I was out just looking around. And the odd thing was, is moments before this happened, I recorded what sounded like ape-like sounds, like ape-like sounds,
Starting point is 00:32:09 like this weird, I don't know how to explain it. And then I walk by this rock that, and I feel like I'm getting sucked into it. Really? Like, I mean, my ears, my ears started ringing. Like, I almost fall, like,
Starting point is 00:32:28 and I stumble. And as I'm stumbling, I pushed myself away from it. But, dude, it was such a weird experience. Dude, like, so you, I heard the ape sounds in East Tennessee, and I heard him, the first time I heard him was last November in one of my magical spots that I just, it's magical. I don't know how else to say it, you know where I'm talking.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Yep. But also when you and I were out, we were doing the, the high boy videos. Yeah. Where we were riding around the mountains at midnight on electric bikes with 20-degree weather. It was freezing. And the only reason why Jack wasn't there is because we didn't have a third bike. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And we brought the mountain bike and it was broken. And we came back and we're like, Jack, you wouldn't have been able to keep up anyways. No. Those things blew, man. Yeah. Like we have these. Anyways. So we were out there and we had just got out of, I think, the first church.
Starting point is 00:33:30 and we heard the noises across the road and they got closer. And dude, like, I don't remember if it's on the video. People that are listening right now, I have a YouTube playlist called Twilight Treks with Tony, where I go on these little ventures
Starting point is 00:33:42 that we put on YouTube. They're not documentaries. And this was on there. I don't remember what I called it. I think it's probably the most recent one. But I don't remember what was caught on audio per se, but I remember seeing me on video doing this. Like, literally, what was across the street
Starting point is 00:33:58 was making this sound. I'm like, what am I hearing? I'm in East Tennessee. You're in East Tennessee. It's just like, I was blowing my mind. I was like, what is going on? Yeah, it's wild. But, you know, at the same time, you know, we don't have any animals around here that would
Starting point is 00:34:22 be able to explain those noises. And that happened at Black Mountain. then I had another experience in Frozenhead outside Brushy Mountain State Prison that I recorded that got a lot of attention. Well, it got the attention of networks, but it didn't get a lot of attention on as far as I'm concerned. But it was just another just deafening sound that I don't have an explanation for. everybody I've, you know, played it for, which I could send you the sound that way you can put it on here. Please.
Starting point is 00:35:05 So here's the sound. But, you know, and then here I am now, really doing a lot of research in Frozenhead. And I've almost, I'm almost there to making a huge discovery. I'm so, I'd so want to get back up. up to this place, but there, I, I saw something outside of this thing that not only the terrain to get to it would be difficult. I saw something else that looked like it was guarding it. No. Are you serious? No, it's, you didn't tell me that. I didn't. No, you said that, you said that you needed an extra set of hands to get to the location because of the terrain. Oh, no,
Starting point is 00:35:51 I got it on live stream. Are you serious? Yeah, it's on live stream. Yeah. Dude, tell me, tell me. Can we talk about what we're looking for? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Just go ahead. I'm not going to ruin it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:06 So Frozenhead is the forest that surrounds Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. So when they were designing Brushy Mountain, they wanted it to be basically America's Siberia. You know, so if a prisoner tried to. escape. Not only did you have to deal with the prison guards and all that goes along with that, once you got out into the wilderness, you were basically dead, you know, because it's such a barren landscape. So it was the Cherokee Indian used that area frequently, you know, for hunting. And there's all kinds of artifacts and such that is in that area. And one of the those artifacts, as the story goes, is a sundial, which is pretty, I don't know, I don't know
Starting point is 00:37:05 if you want to, when you picture ancient American artifacts, you know, you think about like Tom Oaks and, you know, airheads and things like that. But to me, a sundial is kind of like really fascinating. It's like a lost bit of treasure. And I've been out there searching for this thing. Well, I think I've found it. It's just it takes some, it's extremely dangerous to not only get out to, but to then get up to because it's on a really, really steep incline of a mountain just to get to it. It's at least two miles, you know, just of a straight incline. Then on top of that, once you reach that location, you know, it's like straight up on top of that. then when you see it, you see this some sort of structure.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It's really out of place when you're looking at the mountaintop. And I even try to get on Google and look at it through Google Earth. And it's really, it doesn't make any sense on if this is just a pile of rocks, why this gigantic pile of rocks is there? Because it looks like there's a wall that's probably 10 feet. tall at least and it's just square. Well, on top of that, it looks like there's like some kind of monolith, which would be a sundial that would make sense if you're seeing a flat surface and then just a single monolith on it.
Starting point is 00:38:42 So I find this thing and I'm down below and I'm like debating on whether or not I should make this climb. I have some rope with me, but really not enough. I'm totally by myself. Like my wife knows I'm out there, and that's about it. I feel so guilty right now. And I'm staring at this thing, and I'm trying to debate on whether or not I can make the climb. So I decide I'm going to do a live stream and just kind of tell everybody, you know, what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And moments before the live stream, I hear something moving around. And I'm trying to find it. I pull up my thermal camera. I'm looking. I can't really find this thing. And then I look back up to where this, where I believe is the sundial is, and I see this figure. And it's this, I think last time I talked about this black figure that is seen in the paranormal. It's, we say that's black, but it's not really black.
Starting point is 00:39:45 because it's almost like a different shade, you know, that we can really comprehend and understand. Like deeper than black itself. Yeah. And I'm sitting there and I'm staring at this thing. And at first, I think it might just be like a shadow or a tree. And then I see it move. And I'm like, I know there's Black Panthers out here. We'll get into that.
Starting point is 00:40:07 That's a whole nother story. I know there's the koi wolf, which is now out in Frozen Wolf. Is it? I've recorded it. Yeah, I got it on trail can. Did I tell you that? I think you did send me that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Yeah, yeah. So we have that here now. You know, so there's several things that is extremely dangerous that it can be, you know, and I'm staring at it and I'm just like, well, you know, not to mention it could be something more paranormal, which that's what I'm leaning towards because of the color that I'm looking at. And the location of the possibility of what you just found. Yeah. And my past experience of what I've experienced in that location.
Starting point is 00:40:49 You know, so it's just kind of like this now to me, this beacon that I have to go figure out. You know, so yeah. Dude. Frozenhead's so amazing. Yeah. And ever since I met you, Frozen Head, I think, has been probably one of the top locations you talk about. I got to get you out to Frozen Head. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:10 And you mentioned about the black figure. and I'll take that as an opportunity to find something for you. Your channel, Black Mass Paranormal, is not you doing black masses. It's literally a black mass. Yeah, it's the black mass that I saw. Yeah. When I first saw your channel, though, I was like, is this guy doing like black magic or something? Like, I was like, I was like, should I reach out to him?
Starting point is 00:41:35 I was like, oh, let's just see what happens. If I get sucked into a worm over this witch and see what it is. Redneck Dude, they're here. They're here. I know, I know. I know. They're in Black Mountain.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Are they? Yeah. Really? Talk to me. So Black Mountain is, actually, it's an area that I've been going to since I was in high school.
Starting point is 00:42:02 It's a, it's a, when you say magical place, like it's a magical place. I've seen people make it rain there. Now it's gone. a lot towards the darker side.
Starting point is 00:42:15 At least what I've gathered in the past several years, a lot of people will go out and they go camp and they come back and their cars covered in blood. Yeah. People run around in the woods. There's a lot of murders that happen there. There's one particularly famous murder. I guess it's not really famous, but a guy used a chainsaw and cut up people and hit them all throughout there. The bodies are still supposed to be out there.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, that's that dark side of it. And it's in Black Mountain, Crab Orchard, Tennessee. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. The history here, man.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Oh, not to mention the witch. Sorry, my ADD totally kicked in. I knew we were forgetting something. Yeah. Yeah. So in Black Mountain, there's a tale of a witch that actually lived there that would would take people's dogs and kill them, sacrifice them. And I actually did an investigation there at the house that is said to be hers.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And I recorded this black figure moving in between the two other people that I had with me. Yeah, it was a wild night. And then after that, just like all hell broke loose with the weather. like I was afraid that I was not going to be able to get the guys that I brought out there out of there. Like it was that bad. Do you think it has something to do with the history of making a rain there? I don't know. When that guy made it rain there that one time, it was, that was a wild experience.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Like you were present for that? Yeah. He did it like right in front of me. It was this random guy that just comes out of the woods. And he is basically, you know, know, trying to, I don't know, he said he could make it rain. I don't know if he was trying to impress us or just trying to be friends with us. Like, he was nice.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Like, it wasn't anything like, I wasn't scared. And the guy was like, you want to see me make it rain? And I was like, yeah, I would love to see you make it rain. And the reason why we went out there is because there's an overlook that you can, it's, it's the best overlook in Tennessee, I think probably on the East Coast, you know, that you can see. And it's a totally clear night. And the dude just does this chant, does this thing, and it just starts downpouring.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Really? Yeah. Like immediately. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. You just see the skies just go black and then it rains. East Tennessee rain, man.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yeah. That's wild. Was he an old man? Yeah. He was probably in his 60s, I would say. Yeah. You think he's gone now? I don't know. I don't know what I experienced that night, you know.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Hmm. That's interesting. That's really interesting. Do you think that at the sundial, that figure you saw, do you think that that's a, you know, so the sundial being Native American, I think you said that there was somebody who used to own the property that helped you narrow down the location, right? well that's what they this what I found is not in the location of where they told me so what if what you found isn't the actual sundown with something else
Starting point is 00:45:50 it could be I mean I see that would be even better to be honest with you there's more mystery out there then well I mean the the mystery of that sound that I captured that night outside of brushy is like I know this creature I know for fact that this creature I know for fact
Starting point is 00:46:06 that this creature is out there. I just don't know what it is, you know, but it's, it's something that can make a sound that is so loud that I've never heard anything like it. It sounds like it comes from a complete other dimension, you know, but this thing's out there.
Starting point is 00:46:24 And then here I am looking for this old Native American. The coincidence of it is pretty interesting to me. But, you know, of course, I've got people telling me that it's over here. You know, I'm getting kind of pushed in all different directions. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah. So it's almost kind of like I'm not supposed to find this thing. And then when I go out on my own and I'm like, well, you know, I got a good feeling that's going to be in this direction. Because this is the direction of that sound that I had heard. And then I go to the top. Then I find the structure. And then there's this black thing pacing around. How much was it moving?
Starting point is 00:47:05 Like, was it just, like, slightly moving? Well, the problem was it was kind of far away from me. So when you're looking at things like that, it's, you know, fine movements, you can't really tell. But it was moving enough that I could tell that it was moving. You know, it seemed like it was kind of pacing back and forth, like looking at me. I'm in the live stream, and I think I actually say if this thing comes down on me, like, there's nothing I can do. because to my back is just like a 200 foot drop, like straight down. And then there's another probably 200 foot, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:44 incline up to this thing, you know, with fallen trees. And, yeah. So. Wow. Do you think that whatever you saw, so like I heard that, I guess, I don't know if this is a common thing, but we had Martin Groves out here, I think it was last year or something, when he talked about this, he said that the Bellwitch Cave,
Starting point is 00:48:10 that it said that dogman guards the entrance to it because it's a portal to hell. And so do you think that, because I think you used the reference that something was guarding it. It seemed to be. If something was guarding it, do you think that that's something,
Starting point is 00:48:31 and it sounds like maybe you don't have a great idea from what you saw? But do you get the sense that it was physical or more black mass paranormal? Hey guys, I'm just taking a break from the episode to let you know about Simpasafe, the sponsor for this episode. We are driving back from Pennsylvania and we drove through the night. It's been a long three, four days. And it's been so long that you know because I'm letting my brother drive my truck. So it has to be.
Starting point is 00:49:14 a crazy long trip. Now let me tell you, while we were out in this trip, we did several things that are being brought to the audience. One of the things we did was we went out on foot to a very ancient location, which we were told, I was told, that there could possibly be an ancient civilization of reptilian-type formed people. And we were on the hunt and we actually uncovered some really amazing things that we can't wait to bring for you guys on the YouTube. channel while I was out there on the mountain I was getting sporadic phone signal and as I'm hiking this ancient location with these ancient geographical anomalies I was getting simply safe notifications on my Apple watch and every time I got a simply safe notification on my have watch I'm like
Starting point is 00:50:05 huh that's odd and so I would go on my phone log in because I had the rare phone connection with the internet and I would log on and see that oh that's just gemma running around the driveway by yourself huh and then lindsay would come running out in the driveway they'd get back in the house i was like okay Lindsay's on it so it's been a really good thing for me to have some to say of my house whether i'm at home i'm at the office working or i'm in pennsylvania hunting lizard people i can keep an eye on what's going on at the house and not only me but also simply saying professional monitoring 24-7 constantly looking out for me and my family if somebody were to break into my house they will respond to that person and verbally try to deter
Starting point is 00:50:53 them from further breaking in all a while calling the police and getting them dispatch to my house while they're trying to distract the criminal deter the criminal and simply say if you can hook you up with all that good good also it's a 60-day money-back guarantee literally you can get this thing for two months and if you don't like it out of two months, send it back and get your money back. I mean, literally there's no risk to it. I've been talking about Simpsi safe for a long time. And if you haven't gotten it yet and you're looking for home security, I highly recommend it. I used it on my Pennsylvania house. I use it on my Tennessee house. Jack, I don't know if you use it, but he should use it if he

Starting point is 00:51:51 That's Simplysafe.com slash confessions. There's no safe like Simply Safe. All right. When I get home, I'm going to go to bed. And you continue to listen to this episode. It's more black mass paranormal because I can't, I don't know what it was.
Starting point is 00:52:12 And for me, and it's kind of hard with the culture of paranormal investigators, you know, for me, I'm okay with accepting not knowing what it is, you know. I'm like I can I can wrap my mind around that aspect of it, you know, rather than saying it's a big foot, it's a dog man. And my experience is, you know, I just kind of try to connect with how to explain this. Well, I mean, you weren't always a cryptid hunter. You did paranormal research first and then you went into cryptid hunting. Not that you didn't believe it because your brother has a big foot sighting that he refuses to talk to me about. Bro, if you're listening right now, listen, no judgment. in, come in studio, sit down and talk to me.
Starting point is 00:53:11 And right now, Juan's like, no, talk to me first. Whatever, I don't care. Just tell your story to somebody. It's good therapy. But your brother had, I guess, a pretty dramatic bigfoot encounter to the point that he doesn't want to talk about it. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Absolutely. Well, he's had multiple encounters. Really? Yeah. Dude, he's a, he's a fishing guide. He likes to fish, man. That's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:37 That's crazy. what we do. He likes the water. I like to be in the mountains. You know, Tennessee's good for that because you got both sides. Both sides. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's just what he does. What was they saying, though? Knoxville fishing guide. Yeah, so you were talking about, like, trying to define and stuff. I was just trying to let the audience know. You come from the paranormal investigation side first. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:53:59 So, you know, I've experienced, you know, kind of both sides of it, you know. Yeah. It's hard for me to pin a label up on it. Like, even with ghosts, You know, I don't know if I fully believe in that. It's like a ghost in our modern day interpretation of it. You know, I think it very well could be something else, you know. But I've experienced it, you know. I've been burned. I've been scratched, you know.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I've had these things follow me home, you know. That takes your wife off. Yeah, dude. Not a happy wife. No, no. And that's kind of why I had to back away from a lot of it, you know, because I was going into locations that were just horrible, you know, and that takes it out on you mentally, you know, constantly experiencing these stories. Because on the ghost hunting kind of side of it, I kind of referred to it as the spiritual side of the paranormal. You know, when you're going to these locations looking for the ghosts, you know, they're often associated with some sort of.
Starting point is 00:55:07 of tragic event, you know, that had happened, whether it be a murder, whether it be an accident, you know, something, something happened there. And you have to basically engulf yourself in that story. And when you do that over and over and over, it takes a toll on you. You know, so I, you know, I kind of had to step away from that for a lot of it, for a lot of different kind of reasons. I mean, I still do it. And I still find it fascinating. But now, one of Once I had that one experience at that mutual location that we know, I've been really kind of in accrypted. And, you know, I get to be out in the mountains more and not in some dusty old house, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:53 What do you think is easier as far as hunting? I imagine from my perspective, I don't do ghost hunting. I've done it very sparingly. We've talked about it. Like, I don't like, I don't like, traditionally I have sometimes accidentally crossed lines that I didn't like. Yeah. I have very strict boundaries on that side of stuff for myself. Yep.
Starting point is 00:56:19 And every once in a while, I get caught up in the moment. I do things I regret later. And so, but traditionally I haven't really touched it a whole lot. Yeah. But from my perspective, it seems like doing paranormal. investigation might be a little easier in the sense that you're going to locations that you know are haunted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:43 And so it's like it's more confined and, you know, it seems like it's more dedication to go out into the mountains and hope that you're going in the right direction. Yeah. I mean, I go essentially totally blind, you know, and I'm just looking for a track. But, you know, I did. I have to say that I don't think that I don't think that. would be able to find the evidence that I'm able to find now if I didn't do the ghost hunting side of it first. Because the ghost hunting, you're constantly just, you're looking
Starting point is 00:57:17 for minute changes, minute, you know, in just the energy level itself. And I had gotten to myself, to the point where, and it was kind of interesting, there was another investigator. He was just like, I've been able to tell you, you're able to kind of pinpoint when an MVP or an EVP is going to happen and we're going to be able to see a spike and, you know, on the EMF detector. And I could, I could kind of feel those sensations. So I'd kind of like know when to look. and in doing that that tied in real closely to the environments in the mountains to where these crypted things happen you know um and it's i really just kind of rely on my ability to interpret the environment to to point me in the right direction you know but the majority the majority of the time i'm in the wrong direction But, you know, I pick up on that, like, here's might be a good location to look.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Yeah. You know, so. What would you do if you had been, you're out there doing your thing off and alone? And, like, you're in an area that has lots of activity and all of a sudden, like, the unthinkable happens. Like, unthinkable is. And, like, we're out there doing things for a reason. Yeah. But I think in our gut, every time we go out there, if you made us bet on chances of things,
Starting point is 00:58:54 we're like, yeah, probably nothing's going to happen today. Right. But like, what if that perfect storm happens and one day you're out there and all of a sudden there's this like slit in space right there in front of you? And all of a sudden you see this thing walk through, whatever it is. Like, do you have any plan of attack at that point? No. Just point and shoot with your camera.
Starting point is 00:59:15 As the Joker, as the Joker's. said I'm a dog chasing cars, you know, if I won't know what to do with it once I get a hold of it, you know, yeah, I just hit live stream and hopefully it makes it to the world. Yeah, because I probably won't back come back. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. Oh, bro, man, I think about that stuff sometimes because it's just like when I go out there and stuff, you go out there on mission, you want, you're in the moment, you're all that. But in my God, I'm like, ain't nothing going to happen. Right. You know what I mean? And like if it was that easy, like, you know, everybody find Bigfoot by now or whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:53 And at the same time, people have these experiences because that one time, it freaking happened to that person. Whether it's a missing person or a person who had a sighting who's on the show telling about it, you know, it's just like this stuff does happen. The more you put yourself out there to experience it, chances are going up and up and up every time you go out there. Absolutely. And it's just like, man, what could happen?
Starting point is 01:00:15 I mean, when we were out at the magical location, dude, I don't know if I told you this. I don't think I did. We were going out there for, we were shooting the reenactment scene for a Sasquatch and a missing man. So Wes had his Bigfoot encounter and we wanted to, while he was telling the Bigfoot encounter, be able to plug in reenactments, right? So we brought, I brought two bald guys with beard. I was like, that works. and we went out to that location.
Starting point is 01:00:47 I'm not totally familiar with the area to know where I can go and stuff. So I was like, I want to go somewhere I know legally I'm allowed to go. So we went out there. And we actually got bothered by. I don't know. I forget what they were, but somebody came asking what we were doing and we didn't talk to them, but it was all good. But I'm sitting in my truck and there was nothing for me to do.
Starting point is 01:01:13 It was cold out. There was two guys acting the truck. Ward was shooting. Jack and Joel were doing lighting. I had nothing to do. So I'm just going to sit in my truck and turn the sea heater on. Yeah. And I'm bored.
Starting point is 01:01:26 And they're around the corner. I can't even see them. They're up at the trail. And I'm like, I'm going to call my parents. I don't know what possessed me to call my parents. I rarely ever call my parents. I'm just busy and I don't think about it. Bad son.
Starting point is 01:01:40 I call my parents and I'm talking about what I'm doing and stuff. and I hear something like, hey, hang on, hang on. And they stop and I'm like, let me just listen. And I'm listening and I don't hear anything. And so they start talking again. I hear it again. I'm like, all right, hang on a second. I crack my window and I'm like, just be quiet.
Starting point is 01:01:57 And so they're listening. And all of a sudden, I hear the predator sound right outside my freaking window, dude. And I was like, do you guys hear that to my parents in Pennsylvania? And my mom goes, close your window right now. And I close the window and you can hear it from the window closed. And I say goodbye to them and there's a lull in the sound. So I get out of the truck and I walk up to the guys up the hill. And I'm just going to like, listen, I kind of want to be around the guys right now.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And so I can hear it, but it's down by my truck. And so anybody listening right now? No, I didn't record it. Didn't even think about recording. It didn't cross my mind. Yeah. It bothers me. It bothers me because it was so clear that if I could have got the recording, I could have then sent it to my friend Justin, who's a biologist, say, dude, identify this.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Tell me it's something explainable. But I went and I talked to him about this because it sounded identical to the predator. Yeah. And I said, dude, this is what it sounds like. Tell me what it is. And he starts sending me all these YouTube videos. I want to properly identify Justin from cryptids of the corn
Starting point is 01:03:14 and he's sending me all this stuff and nothing's matching nothing and he's searching databases and what's even crazier and I don't think I don't think it was this but bro honestly
Starting point is 01:03:29 the closest thing that it got to being was something that is accrupted in its own right it should not be in East Tennessee it's the shoe billbird. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:42 So he said that He seems tocapitate their Dude, they're huge. They're huge. Just look evil. He goes, these aren't supposed to be here. He goes, but there's like 2,000 known and wild.
Starting point is 01:03:58 They have like two in captivity, but they believe that there's actually even more than what's in the wild being sold in the black market. Yeah. And he goes, he goes, is there a lot of water where you're out? It's like, yeah, there's a lot.
Starting point is 01:04:11 He's like, it's a perfect habitat for these things. He said, and when I say huge for people listening and watching, five and a half to six feet tall birds. Yeah, yeah. And he goes, it's a perfect habitat for them.
Starting point is 01:04:24 And he said, honestly, it's a cryptid in its own right. And you should be more excited about finding a shoebill bird than a big foot right now. Yeah. And, and so I was like, holy crap,
Starting point is 01:04:36 but this video, it showed this bird making this clucking sound that was similar but much lower. And he said if it was a juvenile and it was smaller, it might be a higher pitch. And I was like, holy crap. So I'm either hunting the predator out there or a shoe bill bird, you know? I don't know. Either way, man, this thing sounds like an AK-47 when they start doing the chatter.
Starting point is 01:04:57 It's like, I can't do it, but it's just crazy. Well, that's another thing that has kind of funny you bring up the predator, because that's another thing that I experience. And I'm very hesitant to talk about this. I don't really like, in my videos, I don't really like to talk about it because it's kind of one of those things that would be like, okay, dude, you're hearing stuff and you're talking about seeing these kind of visions. But it only happens at these locations, these like very specific location.
Starting point is 01:05:28 And the best way I can describe it is like cellophane. If you were to take a piece of cellophane, you know, put it at it. the trees and move it across, like that distortion that happens, you know, I see that a lot of times at these locations. Yeah. Yeah. It's very difficult to get on camera. I often, when it does happen, I often have camera malfunctions or it just doesn't translate well into the, into the camera from the way that I see it. But yeah, I've experienced that kind of weird, like in The Predator, you know, when you go invisible,
Starting point is 01:06:08 that weird kind of look to it on multiple occasions. When you see it, does it look like your perception, would it be... All right, because what you're saying to me... How do I say this? What you're saying to me is it sounds like it could be a person. portal or is it more like it's often moving moving it's moving wow yeah yeah wow yeah which makes it even scarier is heck yeah is that is that a portal moving or is it going to rip your spine out yeah yeah yeah like uh i'll take the portal yeah yeah but you know i have no way of rationally measuring this
Starting point is 01:06:51 yeah you know so it's very i can't get it to translate through the camera so it's really hard for me to even kind of talk about. In my videos, I'll often instead of saying, I've just seen this happen, you all, you know, and try to get caught up on that aspect of it, I usually just kind of kind of try to point people, okay, something's happening here, you know. But you don't tell them what? Yeah. I don't, I don't usually tell them.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Oh, you got to tell them what, man. Yeah, you got to tell them. Because I'd be like, yo, guess what I'm seeing right now, suckers. Well, it sounds like you're hallucin. We don't believe you. I don't care. You never believe me anyways. you know.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Yeah. Bro, that's crazy, man. So there's a lady she had passed away reasoned in the last year or two. Her name was Claudia Ackley. And I never had her on the show. We talked about it quite a few times, but it just never happened. And I think her real claim to fame would be that she was suing, I think, the state of California, for covering up Bigfoot in California.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Really? Yeah, I'm sure you could Google it and look it up or something or duck, duck, go it. We don't Google in this house. So, unless it's YouTube, we go on YouTube and we upload it there. Okay, I lie, we Google. So, but she, when she, as far as I understand how the story goes, I never had a chance to really talk to her on the show, unfortunately, didn't document it. But I think I talked to her about it off air years ago.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I think this was before I was even a podcaster. from what I understand she went out with a lady and the name of the channel was called Barb and Gabby I think it was called and Gabby was the dog and I think this lady's channel
Starting point is 01:08:36 they went out hiking and stuff and not just her and dog but groups of people and stuff and Claudia went and I think Claudia was new to the Bigfoot thing at that time yeah and I don't know
Starting point is 01:08:45 I think it was West Coast I don't know where but they have their cameras running and this is a long time maybe 2013 2014 a long time ago And Claudia sees what I think she described as like a black, hairy creature small, that we may call it a juvenile. It was small coming down out of a tree.
Starting point is 01:09:13 And she's like, I just saw this and it looked like a monkey. It was something like that. And they were actually shooting camera in that direction. And so you also see at one of these videos them hiking. back talking about it. And somebody said, well, we were shooting in that direction. We'll see if we caught it on camera. And when you review, and they show you what they caught on camera, there's definitely something
Starting point is 01:09:36 there, but it's not black and it's not hairy. It's translucent. Yeah. You see something on camera coming down out of the tree and you see this movement, but it's see-through. And it has what you described and what the predator would be described as on video for these movies. That's what you're seeing.
Starting point is 01:09:54 But in person, Claudia saw something black and hairy. Yep. And it's like, so now we're talking about two separate anomalies that are both crazy in their own right. Yep. And how in person you are actually perceiving and seeing something that is not translating to camera properly. Yep. So is that? What is that?
Starting point is 01:10:16 Is it literally affecting the camera or does it actually contain an element of itself that cameras can't capture? and it's like it's it's mind-blowing to me that that whole case it drives me up the wall but I say that to roll back into the I think I mentioned earlier
Starting point is 01:10:37 the documentary that you're in that will come out in 2025 that night after you left we had something similar happen one translucent we were like we were charged it was right there,
Starting point is 01:10:55 I thought it was going to blow through me. Yeah. That's how close it was. Yeah. And right after that, we hear monkeys going off in the woods. Yeah. And,
Starting point is 01:11:10 but on, but when you look back at the footage, it's owls. It sounds like owls, like maybe part owls, right? And you say, oh, well, they sound similar. It sounds different.
Starting point is 01:11:25 What we heard in person, at least for me, I don't want to speak for Joel, but for me, that sounded like monkeys. And Jack, you were there that night, and you weren't with me and Joel when we were charged, but you guys were, you guys heard the action because you were radioing in. When you were out there and you were hearing the whole thing unfold, were you guys able to hear the whole monkey owl thing go down? Yeah, yeah. Originally, we thought that we heard the first woe. You guys freaking out the first time.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Whoa! Yeah, yeah. That's what the charge happened. We were like, okay, we just looked at each other, and we just thought it was like you guys goofing around. And then obviously we heard the monkey sounds and we were like, okay, so now Joel is just messing around. So you guys thought that Joel was making monkey?
Starting point is 01:12:19 No, yeah. Wow. So you could hear the monkey sounds. Oh, yeah. Did it sound like monkeys to you? Yes. You're a skeptical one. Like this guy, I hear becoming more, I think you working with me, you're becoming more of a believer, but you, like, I'm, I'm ready to believe.
Starting point is 01:12:34 Jack's like, eh, I'm not ready to believe. Like, yeah, kind of prove it to me still, but I think we're getting there. But for you to say that he heard monkeys, Jack's the kind of person who's like, no, it was It was owls. It was actually a rare bird that I read about once in high school. Yeah. Well, it's good to have those people around you, though. Nah, I hate those people. Yeah, I know. Got to live and have fun.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Yeah. No, and it's kind of funny you're talking about this because I've been a friend of mine, Willis, we've been going back and forth and trying to break down. And I really, we started at the beginning with the pattern. Patterson footage and going back and looking at that camera and really trying to break down the camera rather than the footage, you know. And what's different about that camera is the way that the frame rate happens on film, you know, as opposed to the modern digital cameras that we use. And so I've been trying to find a way to bridge that connection because I feel like what is happening and what we're experiencing. experiencing what we aren't able to properly record, you know, because of that handicap, you know.
Starting point is 01:13:56 And it's kind of funny because on the spiritual side of things, you'll often see ghost hunters using old equipment. Like you'll find them with the old school tape with a tape record, with an actual tape, you know, recording things. And they're able to kind of get a better result out of that old technology. which can be a conspiracy theory in its own right. You know, also. Well, why would we come out with this type of technology that could,
Starting point is 01:14:31 you know, record the paranormal better, you know, then kind of push people away, you know, from it to all the new 4K, you know, 10K cameras with,
Starting point is 01:14:44 you know, so yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. I think that people just want really sharp images and they'll sacrifice the ghosts that they can pick up in the meantime. Yeah. People aren't thinking about that stuff. You know, like, people don't think about like, you know, oh, I want to catch a ghost on camera one day.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Like, we do. Right. Right. But what I'm saying is, you know, maybe the government was aware of this phenomenon happening, you know, with the first technology. Yeah. And they have since then corrected it to create a narrative. Well, there's actually, there's a couple, Jenny and Jamie King. They're in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:15:27 And they research a very specific place in Pennsylvania. I think they actually live in Ohio just on the other side of the border and they kind of come over. But there's a very specific place that they research. And they've gathered, I mean, when I'm talking like, they know everything in this area, they know everything. They're like, oh, that log moved, huh? I did get that rain last week. They know everything. And if I remember correctly, they have an old audio recorder that they use for those very purposes.
Starting point is 01:15:55 And apparently, I don't know, I can't even tell you what kind it was. Like, you have to reach out to them. They're on social. People can find them. But they, if I remember correctly, this recorder, like word got out amongst the ghost hunters and stuff that this is the kind of recorder you need. Like, it works, right? you capture EVPs really well.
Starting point is 01:16:17 And so now whenever you see it for sale, it's like $1,500. It's like a 50-year-old device, and they're like $15,000, $25,000. You want it, you got to pay for it, you know? And somebody will pay for it. I do. Dude, ghost-tunning equipment gets so expensive. Yeah, people are like, well, I have a $25,000 budget this year for my ghost hunting equipment. I could buy all this stuff, or I could buy this 50-year-old piece of device.
Starting point is 01:16:39 I think I'll go do that. There's always next year for all the other stuff. Oh, yeah. They'll spend the money for it, man. I think I know what I actually think. I actually think I know what you're talking about. Is it got a hand? Have you seen it?
Starting point is 01:16:52 A long time ago, I saw it. I don't remember what it looks like. I saw pictures of it. I never saw it in person. Yeah. I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah, they're good people. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Keep getting away from that microphone. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Come on, man. I need to get you to be a podcaster more than a YouTuber sometimes. Well, I'm often in the woods. I'm speaking of a fucking.
Starting point is 01:17:12 Redneck, man. Wires, lights. Come on, bro. Yeah, so, anyways, Jenny and Jamie King, if you want to find out what that device was,
Starting point is 01:17:23 just reach out to them. Like, I know, I see, I know they're on Facebook. That's where I met them years ago, and then at the Ohio
Starting point is 01:17:29 Bigfoot conference, and I know they're on Instagram. I see him on there. So I think Jamie King, J-A-M-I-King, Jamie King. Anyways, he looks like a lepracon.
Starting point is 01:17:40 He looks like an Irish guy. Like, he would be the first. to say it when he grows his beard and stuff but good people the location we I wanted to tell you this
Starting point is 01:17:51 and I just want I don't want to forget to tell you this and I don't think there's an actual logical conclusion as to what we experienced again going back to the magical location man yeah we so Joel was down here a few weeks ago
Starting point is 01:18:06 and we were doing a recording that hasn't been aired yet and we were planning on that Saturday. Somebody was coming into town and we were doing, I'll just say, Justin from Appalachia Intelligence, we came to town, we did a whole Lilith recording.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And I'm sure you've heard a Lilith and that's a whole bag of worms. The night before, we're like, yo, let's go out in the woods, right? It was downpouring rain. Remember that night? I think I told you about that.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we went out there. We were out there to like, what, two, three o'clock in the morning and it was raining. And so we didn't bring cameras because I'm not going to ruin my cameras. We're going down the pipeline and we get all the way back to the field. Oh, dude, that field.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Bro. That field's wild. Wild. So we're approaching the field and we see these bright white lights out at the field. And I'm like, what is that? And Jack was out there the night before, which irritated me because you're freaking ruining the area. It's magical. You got to treat like it's a magical.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Stop disrespecting the area, Jack. Like, I can't tell him not to go because it's not my property. But I'm like, stop it. You know? So I'm like, he's like, you weren't here last night. And I'm like, and I got the AAR, right? I'm thinking, no, freaking aliens landed out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:37 And they're just going to, like, we're like, what, a mile or something away from. from the truck and I'm like, what are we going to do in this rain with all these hills and the mud, but we're going to run in the dark? Like, what are we going to do? So we're like, okay, we're going to go up to this. And so we're slowly walking up to it. And, you know, I'm like, what am I going to do with my AR?
Starting point is 01:19:57 Like, I'm going to just shoot that alien, you know? It's going to be like suckered. Those don't work. Yeah. So just come on in. We lowered the steps. Come on in. We're going to do some butt stuff real quick.
Starting point is 01:20:08 And then we're going to ship you back. you won't remember a thing. Yeah. You know? Swick and easy. And so like I, we're going up there and we get out to the field and these lights are beyond the field now. And I don't know if we were tired. We were tired.
Starting point is 01:20:23 Like we had a hike back. It was the middle of the night. And we had to do the recording in the morning. So at some point you started away your options. Yeah. But I do regret not keep going and not following past the field to see what these lights were. I don't know what they were. They weren't there the night before.
Starting point is 01:20:38 I don't know the terrain well enough. I don't know if it was like civilization lights somewhere, but they weren't there the night before that Jack was out there. That's the only good thing I could say about Jack going out there without me is that he was able to have a reference point. There is a warehouse. Tell me it was the warehouse. Well, I'm not going to tell you it's a warehouse because I don't know exactly what you saw,
Starting point is 01:21:01 but there is an abandoned building back there. Is it really? Oh, we got to go explore that. It's like massive and it's weird. It's in a weird location. I love living here. Like it's not a place where you would be like, oh, that's where this is. It's just this huge building, like just way back in the back of that.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Really? So Scott Carpenter talked to me about East Tennessee here in Marival, how dogmen will, hide, live, I don't know. I wish he was still here so I could pry more on this. I know. I wish I got to work with Scott. Dude, like, he said that they actually, that they're in town in these abandoned buildings. And obviously, that's not what you're talking about, but it's like, it's the same idea. And like,
Starting point is 01:21:56 we know where we're talking about dog man, Bigfoot, portals, UFOs, apparently, aliens. Like, like, I wonder what's in that building. I wonder if they're in there at night and they come out. Dude, I don't know. I don't know why this building. We're going there. Oh, we're so going there.
Starting point is 01:22:16 That building makes no sense at all. Oh, we're going. I'm going. I don't even know how you would get to this building. We will get to it. I mean, other than the route that we go. Yeah. You know, through the woods.
Starting point is 01:22:30 I don't know how you would get to this building. We're going and we're going at midnight. At midnight. And we're going to be there till at least three. Yeah. Let it kick off. Yeah. See what creatures come around.
Starting point is 01:22:42 Yeah. Dude, I'm down. Let's go. Like, all right, I got silver bullets. You do? I do. I do. Because I got some garlic.
Starting point is 01:22:53 I think the last guest that was in studio, Brad, I forget his last name now. But Brad, I can't remember his last name. But Jack, remind me, if you remember what the podcast was, I forget. I like giving people proper ado. Lyle. Brad Lyle. Brad Lyle. Do you remember the podcast?
Starting point is 01:23:12 The Awakening podcast. The Awakening podcast. It's a new podcast. I don't even know if he actually started it yet. But he brought gifts. And one was 25 rounds of silver bullets. And I was like, that's cool. That's awesome, dude.
Starting point is 01:23:26 What caliber? 556. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. And so I have that in my truck. And I have it with my truck gun. and we'll, we can always be prepared for all things.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Garlic, silver bullets, we can bring slugs. Well, 5, 5, 6 silver bullet would, I would imagine that would. I mean, if a silver bullet is the trick, the 556 should get you there. Yeah. Yeah. I would imagine that could cause damage. Or maybe it's 2, 2, 3. I don't remember now.
Starting point is 01:23:57 Either way. Either way. We just need to pierce the skin with the silver and see what happens. And if it turns into a human, we got to bury it. Bring it home to the pigs or something. That's a big fear of mine too, man. Like, dude, what if I, if I see this werewolf dog man thing and I'm like, Bapa?
Starting point is 01:24:18 And all of a sudden it's like, oh, it shrivels into a person. Like, no. That is another, how do I? That's another thing that happens because, like, when we're in the field and we experiencing these things, like when you heard the monkey cells. Yeah. And it, you know, that's a problem that I. run into because it's like I experience this in person, which I understand that human eyes suck,
Starting point is 01:24:44 human ears suck and our memories suck. Worse, yeah. You know, and I understand that part of it. But when I experience these things, like, I know what I experience. Like, I know what I experience. You know, what if something else is occurring and then another person comes and, dude, I don't know. You just got me excited and I totally lost my train of thought. I don't know. I was going to be a warehouse and silver bullets. Yeah. Yeah. There is a warehouse. I've actually
Starting point is 01:25:17 got pictures of it. I was in that field. I don't know. I guess a couple days after you were. Actually, when did you, let me look this up. I don't remember when. Because I found weird tracks back there. Yeah. like weird tracks. I mean, you found those weird tracks when we went out there shooting a dock
Starting point is 01:25:39 with the day that you were with us who found the dogman tracks. Yeah, not the not dogman tracks like some sort of vehicle track like way back there. Really? And like an unidentifiable vehicle track?
Starting point is 01:25:50 I don't know. They were 18 feet wide. What? Yeah. Yeah. Like from tire to tire? Yeah. I counted out.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Like I walk it. It's weird. I want to look at the date that I was out there. Interesting. Well, I mean, while we filled that air, I'll tell the story. We went out there that night. We got charged there. But before that, you went out there that day in the morning on your motorcycle.
Starting point is 01:26:19 And you almost like toppled over the handlebars hitting your brake so fast because you came across that track. That track. It looked like this thing crossed the trail, stepped in that mud. and that that that print was like the size of my hand. Yeah. Like it made your skull can look like a like a dime. Yeah. And that was a canine track.
Starting point is 01:26:39 Like the nails were out and it was huge. Huge. Huge. And you casted it. Did you ever like, were you able to see the detail in the cast? I can't remember. I think you showed us at night. No.
Starting point is 01:26:51 It's not a very good cast. Unfortunately. Yeah. Once it really hardened, it wasn't that great of a cast. I mean, you can still see the main parts of it. Yeah. But getting the detail wasn't that great.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Even if it was a good cast, the picture is better. I know. The picture, I mean, the reason why I can say it was a canine print is because of how clear the print was in the picture. I mean, hands down, that was a canine. Oh, yeah. And a very large one. Very large one.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Very large. Yeah. And there ain't no such thing as a big dog around here like that. No. No. No. Even the coy wolf wouldn't be that big. Dude,
Starting point is 01:27:36 that's a massive, massive can on print. And that just sets a stage. I want to say it was like at least five and a half inches from side to side in width. Really? Yeah. I did all the measurements and now I can't remember them. But it was big, man.
Starting point is 01:27:55 It was big. So there's something out there. Well, we know that. And that's what's so cool about that location is because I had no idea that that's where Scott Carpenter was doing his research. I was also doing research in the same area, finding same thing, and documenting the same thing that Scott was. And we were two completely different investigators that didn't even know each other. So you're the person that he was talking about. he's getting pissed off.
Starting point is 01:28:27 He's like, somebody's coming to my area. No, I was kidding. He never said that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:33 Yeah. We hung, we hung a snicker bars in the tree that one night. Yeah, at his feeding station. Yeah. Never went back to go look for him.
Starting point is 01:28:42 You never went back? Oh, man. No, dude. Like, like, I forget what, maybe it was the weather.
Starting point is 01:28:48 It was out there long enough that I was like, it's not there. One of these days we should get back out there just to make sure, but wouldn't that be something that was still, it was just sitting there still,
Starting point is 01:28:56 still. Like, we hung that thing in the tree. Like, and the way I wrapped it up, I mean, something would have had either clawed out or, like, the whole point was Scott talks about how he would hang snickers in the tree and they would take it and squeeze it into their mouth or they would pop it in their mouth, chew it up with a wrapper and spit the wrapper out. That's how he got the saliva. So, like, like, he went out there and it, it chewed up the bar and spit the wrapper out and it had the saliva on it. Okay. So that's how he got that DNA. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:29 And also, he got the hair by reverse wrapping trees with tape so that the tape was on the outside. So when they would reach for the candy bar or whatever, the hair would get stuck on there. Okay. Yeah. Wow. Those are things that, like, you know, I'm glad he documented so much with his YouTube channel. Yeah. And it's little things like that.
Starting point is 01:29:49 It's like, why didn't I ever think of that? Yeah. Well, somebody else did, and I'm glad he did because, you know, we can implement those things. We can now implement that stuff in the same location because we actually know where this is and continue that. Yeah. Yeah. That place is something special to me too. For sure.
Starting point is 01:30:04 You know, I mean, as scary as it is, like, it's terrifying out there. Like, it's so scary. Like, even in the daytime, it's scary. Yeah. But when I was out there, I don't have that exact date on this phone. But when I was out there, I was out there, I was. was getting all kinds, I started doing frequency tests out there. I'm not sure you're into that aspect of it. Yeah, the frequency tests I'm cool with. I just don't, I want to be careful that
Starting point is 01:30:38 I'm not doing things that are perceived in the spiritual realm, let alone the physical of people's perceptions, but the spiritual, I don't want to be doing something that might be a summoning thing. Yeah. You know, but the frequency thing, I'm very open to the idea that frequencies do open portals. Yeah. See, I'm kind of the opposite. I don't really particularly care. I know. Yeah, it's not that I'm doing it intentionally. Yeah. But, you know, people often, I see a lot of people, you know, say don't use these frequencies because they are summoning frequencies. And I'm like, well, are they?
Starting point is 01:31:15 Well, let's test it up. Let's test it out. You know, and see what happens. But yeah, one of the frequencies, I was doing. I can't remember which what it was. When it went out there, after I'd let it run for, I don't know, probably five, ten minutes. Just the EM punk? No, no, I've got to get another one of those. That one totally vanished. Into a portal, out there.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that didn't happen there. We were there with you. Yeah, yeah, you were, weren't you? Yeah. Yeah, that was that same night. I'm still so mad about that because that was a good piece of equipment. I'm done interrupting you tell your story.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Yeah. I keep throwing you off. You do throw me off. Talk about frequencies. Yeah. And out in that field. And I started doing these frequency tests. And then after a little bit, I looked down in my tri-field meter, it's jumping, like, completely, like, topped out, like going full tilt for no reason.
Starting point is 01:32:15 my Geiger counter starts going really fast indicating what I believe is some sort of radiation. And then all of a sudden I start hearing that pacing sound. And then I'm like looking around. I'm like, what the hell is going on here? And I'm going, I'm kind of pacing at this point. And I start hearing what sounds like a dog shaking its head. You know, in a dog, it's wet. And they start doing that.
Starting point is 01:32:43 I start hearing that. And then I'm looking down, and this is why I haven't released this video, and this is why I haven't released another video, because I'm really frustrated because it didn't translate to film very well. But I'm looking down this line and you can see all of the trees are completely still, except for this one bush. And it's going back and forth, like something's shaking it, like going back and forth. but it doesn't translate well on my side of the video. So I'm at a creative standpoint where I'm like, I want to show this to people, but that's not what I experienced at the time.
Starting point is 01:33:22 So it's frustrating. It's very frustrating. And I'm finding that that is a common thing with a lot of this stuff. Like the idea that we want to convey to the world what it was like in person. And I think people can understand this. So when you, come across the most, the most majestic,
Starting point is 01:33:42 beautiful scene. Let's just, for instance, let's take you here locally. I forget what road it is, but there's a, there's a road out by the Walmart and the Lowe's here in Marrable,
Starting point is 01:33:55 right next to the road right next to the Wiggles. There's a hill there that you come over. When you come over that hill and you're coming up on the Waggle's on the left side, right in front of you, you're introduced to the Smoky Mountains. Yeah. It's so majestic. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:10 and beautiful. Yeah. And I've done this several times. I come over that hill and I try to take pictures of it. And I'm like, can't capture it. And that's when I, when that,
Starting point is 01:34:22 I was telling my parents because I was trying to show them how, and I was like, you're just going to have to see it for yourself. When I came down during the summertime, I took them to that road. I was like, you can't capture what I'm experiencing in person. And I think people can relate on that level.
Starting point is 01:34:37 So think about the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, you're trying to take a picture of it so you can remember it and show it to others and it just doesn't translate. Yeah. We experience that on this paranormal level of side of things and it's like
Starting point is 01:34:48 it's driving you freaking mad. Yep. Because you're just like... Yeah. Yeah, dude. It gets exhausting. It really does because you experience this great thing.
Starting point is 01:35:03 We perceive it as great at least. And, you know, you're just not able to, you know, get it up to people in the way that you want. Yeah. So I have kind of, and I'm trying to figure out a better way to do that. And it's mainly getting like high-speed cameras, not like overly high-speed cameras, but, you know, shooting at least 240 frames a second, you know.
Starting point is 01:35:31 So I don't know what any of that means. So I'll just take your word for it. So essentially like a video is essentially. essentially a bunch of pictures. Yeah, I understand that. I just, like, I have no frame of reference. Like, I, I, I have a, all that stuff. We have good cameras.
Starting point is 01:35:48 I don't know how they work. I just, I just know they work. Well, I try to break that, that aspect of it down because I feel like, so if you, if you look at it, you know, from that aspect of it. So these things, these creatures, they move at, you know, say different vibrations. Okay. Everybody knows what vibration is, how it, how it moves. if your camera is shooting at 30 frames per second,
Starting point is 01:36:11 which most cameras shoot at 30 frames per second. So it's taken 30 pictures per second. That's what creates that video. If this creature, whatever, is moving in between that, those frames per second, you're never going to be able to capture it. So the faster you go, you know, the more that you're getting. You just talk stupid to me and I appreciate. that because I get it now.
Starting point is 01:36:37 Tony understand. Well, that's my side of it as a researcher. So I like to try to convey, you know, to people that, you know, there's more to it than, you know, just going out and walking around in the woods with the camera. Yeah. And it gets frustrating when you put all that work into it. And then you still don't, you're not able to, you know, get that to those people. How many frames per second do our eye shoot? That's a good question.
Starting point is 01:37:04 they shoot completely different. No, no. We just gotta break it down math. Everything's a math problem. But then you gotta look at the light. We can't see all the, you know, variations of light. So if like these things can exist. An infrared or ultraviolet.
Starting point is 01:37:24 They can be right next to us. We never even know it. Yeah, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. Man. We got to get out in the woods. That's what we know of is infrared and ultraviolet.
Starting point is 01:37:36 But, you know, there could be an infinite. Oh, my gosh, man. So we, I want you, listen, I don't want to forget because you told me this a while ago. You sent me these pictures. And I don't know if this is a frozen head where we're going to go at some point or what. But, dude, the trail cam of the Black Panther. Yeah, like, dude. Ever since I've been doing this stuff.
Starting point is 01:38:03 the idea of Black Panther pops up here and there. And it never, it never struck me. I'm just like, who cares? Is a big cat? I don't care. Yeah. I care now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:15 I've gotten older. You know, I'm more mature. And I understand certain things like, hey, they're not supposed to be here. Why are they here? And on a very practical level, why are they here and why are they not telling us they're here? Let's just say it's practical, not paranormal. It's just a big black cat.
Starting point is 01:38:37 Yeah. Why is that a secret? You know what I'm saying? But you have that on camera. Yeah. It's huge. Chasing a pig, a big ass pig. Big pig.
Starting point is 01:38:48 Yeah. Big pig. Yeah. Yeah, man, I don't know how to explain it. You know, and it's one of those things, but it's, that is something that I'm excited to, you know, share with people because like when I first started talking about you know um you know in the in the east Tennessee culture and that's that's another creature crypted that people have talked about being here and um you know killing livestock and all this other stuff but then you know the state government side of it
Starting point is 01:39:18 is saying no we do not have black panthers in this area they just couldn't survive in this you know climate and here we got video of it you know we have like multiple generations talking about this thing. You know, I know several people whose granddad said that they shot it. You shot one, you know, but it is what it is until you have the actual body itself.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Did I ever tell you about the cop that got it on dash cam? No. So Eddie down at Legends and Lower Pizzeria. He's been down. I got to go see him. Dude, I was just in there a few weeks ago, and he's like, hey, next time you come in, bring Brian, I was like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:40:01 if we're together, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Like, he's so nice to me. Yeah, and I just, I never make it out there and I feel so guilty. Yeah, dude, like he, like he, not that I should feel guilty. It's just, that's him. That's him. That's his personality.
Starting point is 01:40:13 He's just a nice guy. Awesome guy. Awesome pizza. And the potato wedges are something to die for. Especially when you splash, Lyle Blackburn's hot sauce on them. Woo! Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:24 So good. But he told me that he had a sheriff come in and said that he was driving down on these roads down there in Greenback or something. And a Black Panther crossed the road in front of him. He caught it on dash cam. And this thing was so big that it had a duck to go underneath the guardrail and the tail wrapped around the guardrail as it went underneath. Wow. And the officer was talking about. talking to like a game warden or something and said he had it on dash cam he's like no they don't
Starting point is 01:40:59 exist around here he's like i got on dash cam he showed it to me and the guy goes don't show anybody that yeah don't show anybody that i don't know why they do that i don't i don't either um you know back in the day that maybe it was because of the animals that we used to be able to keep around here so you know you were able to have a lion or that's crazy you could have it that's the most Tennessee thing I've ever heard of my life. You know, but then there was, there's another location
Starting point is 01:41:32 that it's out to this place called the Witches Circle that is now a rescue, I would assume for all the tigers and lions that people used to have. Really? Yeah. Well, I mean, I shouldn't say that because
Starting point is 01:41:48 I don't know for sure, but they have a ton of lions in tigers. And like over two in East Tennessee at this one location. Yeah. What happens to those things get out? Well, see, that's the thing is so near the witch's circle, which is another area that kind of weird things out.
Starting point is 01:42:06 It's in the name? Yeah, it's got a bad side of it. And that's, I got to take you out there because I didn't even tell you the last thing that I found out there. Bodies just everywhere. Just put it that way. Human? No.
Starting point is 01:42:23 Animal carcasses. Like, everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere from coyotes to horses, everything. Everything's scattered all over this place. Yeah, I'm going to go back and get a coyote skull. I'm just a collector. Well, no, I mean, it's already out there. I mean, that's kind of best way to clean the bones is just let nature do its stuff.
Starting point is 01:42:46 But, you know. Anyways, you were saying. But, yeah, there, you know, I had in, and at this time, I had been working at the Knoxville Zoo. And so I had a lot of experience with seeing, you know, the aftermath when a tiger takes or lion takes a crap or whatever. So I'm out in the woods at this point, and I'm, I find this deer carcass. And it's a full deer. And it looks like chewed up.
Starting point is 01:43:18 And I look down, I see these massive prints, like massive prints. Like massive prints. And I'm like, this is like a tiger out here, you know. And then I looked up and that's where I figured out the correlation to this place. And that this place was out there because I was concerned that they had lost a tiger or a lion or something. Has anybody lost their pet lion? Yeah. But now I don't know how it works now.
Starting point is 01:43:50 I mean, it wasn't just East Tennessee. It was like all across, you know, the United States used to be able to keep, you know, all kinds of crazy animals. Had a bunch of tiger kings around here. Well, my mom had an orangutan. For real? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Wow. Yeah. No, no, no. Which now, if you know anything about orangutans, they're crazy animals. Of course, chimps are too. God, those things are terrifying. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:16 Now, I don't want it as a pet. Listen, did I tell you where we're going tomorrow? I don't think I did. No. So we're, we got to wind this down because I got to get moving here. But, and I, you got to pick up your kid too. Jack and I are going up to Pennsylvania. My sister's having a baby.
Starting point is 01:44:32 Oh, yeah, yeah. And we're going to this ancient location, giant rock walls. Yeah, yeah. I tell you a story behind that, though, the reptilians? Reptilians? Dude, I want to do a reptilian investigation. Bro, bro. Like, you can't come on this trip, but one of these days we can take you up there.
Starting point is 01:44:49 Yeah. This place has, so I'm going to do this really quick. Once upon the time, Tony was a parking force in an officer in the city of Reading, Pennsylvania. And I rode around on a mountain bike all day, riding parking tickets. Four o'clock every day. I would go to this one place where a security guard was outside and we would talk. I went to go drive tractor trailer then. And years goes by, I go into Best Buy one day and I see this guy.
Starting point is 01:45:17 I'm like, oh, bro, how you've been? And he started talking. I tell him what I started doing with the podcast. And he goes, oh, do you know anything about reptilians? I was like, I don't want to say I know anything about reptilians, but I've heard of him. And he goes, there's reptilians in Reading. And I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:45:32 And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, tell me more. And he's like, I don't want to talk about it. I'm like, down, you troll me, man. So every time I went in there, I would bring it out to him. And sometimes I was just swing by Best Buy just to see if he was working. And one of the last times I saw him, he went. in the detailing. He's like, listen,
Starting point is 01:45:49 I, I, they're, they're in the Reading, Pennsylvania area. There's a whole, like, civilization of them. And they have some kind of underground civilization. And he said, there's an entrance to it. And the entrance is marked by a really large rock that looks like a serpent. And I'm like, okay. So I get on the old duck, duck go machine. I'm searching around, searching around. And I find two locations in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:46:17 that could resemble that. One was called dinosaur rock out towards the Harrisburg area. And it was totally painted graffiti. It looked like people go there for picnics. I was like, that can't be it. Then I found another location
Starting point is 01:46:30 out in the wilderness by itself up on the Appalachian Mountains. And it is this giant rock wall out in the middle of nowhere that stretches like over a half a mile and as you walk it, it goes more gradually into the ground. And at the,
Starting point is 01:46:47 end of the rock wall, when you first come up, I've been there already. When you first come up to it, so at one point, I think, this is me projecting, I think that this was a complete wall, juries out if it's natural or manmade, I have a feeling, I could justify saying it's man made, or made, designed. I don't know if it's manmade. Gotcha. It's designed. Because this part of the wall where there's this hole in it, it looks like it collapsed. And when you walk up to it, all the pieces that are broken and fallen seem to be about 8 to 10, 12 feet long, and they're almost perfectly rectangle or square. They're these long rectangle square, like they're giant bricks. Wow. And at the end of this thing, it looks like a snakehead.
Starting point is 01:47:37 Oh, my gosh. It looks like an old, worn down snakehead. And I was like, I found it. And so we're there, and this was years ago, probably like three or four years ago, I was out there with Edward Munch from Triangle Media. And him and I were, we spent like 14 hours out there. And I had no idea what I was doing. Documenting was just not really my thing. I have the video footage. We're going to make another video. We're going to combine the two for people. So it's common people. But, so we're out there and there was this hiker that came through. And I, and I was talk to him. I was like, you know, trying to get something if there's anything without saying I'm weird. And he just said, he goes, hey, be careful walking around here. There's a lot of old
Starting point is 01:48:25 mine shafts that open up and people fall in. And I'm like, okay, so now you're telling me the ground's hollow at this location where the serpent head is. Copy. So now there is possibly a spot where I could enter into. And so we were out there. It got dark out. And we're hiking back along this rock wall to the snakehead area where we can leave then because you come in at that spot. Yeah. So we stop because there's these orbs that come down into the valley
Starting point is 01:48:53 and we're trying to film that. And I think we got it on video, but I don't know how good it is. But I said back to him, I was in front of him, I said, you're ready to go. And Ed, strong Costa Rican accent, strong. There's no mistake in his accent.
Starting point is 01:49:07 Right. And he says yes. And then right after that, we start walking and right up close, to his microphone. There's a female voice and it goes, okay. Oh, gosh. That's so scary. No idea. No idea it happened. We get up to the snakehead and we're sitting there. It's probably like midnight or something. It's dark out. Cameras put away. We're exhausted. Totally tapped out. I'm not trying to do anything. I let him leave. Get enough energy to hike back to the truck.
Starting point is 01:49:34 Yeah. I'm sitting there on this, this collapsed wall. And I hear a little girl voice. off in the woods. And I'm like, did you hear that? And he didn't hear it. And for the longest time, I blamed myself for not going investigating because of later finding out about the EVP. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:54 But that's why I'm going back because there is something going on up there. And there's this Google review. Jack, I text you that Google review. Can you see if you can find it real quick so we can read it? I know I texted you a while ago, see if you can flip through your images.
Starting point is 01:50:08 When I was researching this, there was, a guy who pinned that location on Google Maps, and he made a message. And the message, like, wasn't like what you would expect. Like, oh, I found this amazing, beautiful. The scenes beautiful. The, this wild rock wall out of middle of nowhere, no idea. Nothing like that.
Starting point is 01:50:33 Yeah. He said if this place is something like this place, I want to say magical. I say magical all the time. Maybe he didn't say magical. But he said there's something special about this place. And the longer you spend time here, the more mysterious it gets or something like that. Do you have it, Jack? Oh, you text it to me?
Starting point is 01:50:50 So hang on a second. I'll read a verbatim for you here. This guy goes, and I've been trying to find this guy. I've been trying to find him, you know? I can't find him anywhere. What did you mean? Three years ago, he wrote this. He said, there's nowhere else on earth that means as much to me as this place.
Starting point is 01:51:08 If you go and spend the day, you'll see so many incredible things. However, if you go again and again, you'll find things that most people don't know about, things that are meant to be hidden. And I'm like, yo! Lizard people. I'm like, I found the lizard people. So, yeah, Jack and I, I mean, it's like, oh, yeah, my sister's having a baby, that's cute. I'm going to hunt lizard people and I'm using that as an excuse. Well, dude, he sends me your GPS locations.
Starting point is 01:51:45 Right. Get there. Bring rope. Dude, I, dude, I climbed a, I climbed part of the rock wall when I was there. So when I went there, I didn't have hiking boots. I wasn't like way I am now with the outdoor gear. I had my old steel-tip boots from truck driving that I wore that day. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:02 My feet were sore. And I went out climbing a rock wall, vertical rock wall with a steel-tip boots and stuff. I was an idiot. I could have freaking fell and die on that one. But anyways, that's what we're getting geared up to do tomorrow, is head up there to do that. And then we're going to spend time with my sister. And then we're going to be going actually to the old company I left driving for. My dad still drives for them.
Starting point is 01:52:25 And they do these things called truck rodeos, basically a truck competition. Whoever drives the most precision and stuff, they get bucks in the states. And then you can compete for nationals and stuff like that. So we're going up there. My dad's actually hosting his podcast, Him Reliance, there. at the rodeo. And so we're going to go up there and help with the tech side of things with that. So it's like a work C family vacation thing, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:50 But, uh, yeah. Anyways, dude, listen, this was a lot of fun talking with you hanging out. This was overdue. Uh, let's not wait another year, however long it's been for you to be on the show. Yeah, no, we just got to get out in the woods. We got to get out to Norris too. Dude, and do the Egyptian ruins? Yeah. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. out there. We got to get out there. Yeah. We got the boat.
Starting point is 01:53:13 We got the sonar. Yeah. Let's do it. It's got to go. Yeah. All right. Brian, Black Masked Paranormal YouTube channel. Link is in the description of this episode.
