Merkel? Medias. I guess it's time to go back in time. Are you telling me you built a time machine? Kind of a Dolion? Time is but a stubborn illusion. I have a lot of memories of the past. People are time traveling within themselves.

Time travel is possible. One of the ladies says she's a spiritual medium. that contact the spirit, gets it to attach itself to her, and then her and the other lady take the spirit outside, and the other lady will cast the demon outside of her outside, so the spirit leaves the house. What? Yes.

And there's a few of this too on YouTube. Oh, my gosh. This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill, but no one was supposed to talk about it. I saw three long, boning fingers. reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear. When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me. And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen.

And he starts running and firing at this giant. With a giant moves, he's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast. And spears, Dan, holds him up like this. Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face. basically decapitated. And I look over and there are two small gray entities. And they're literally, I'm getting pulled off the bed. I reached my hand into this bush and I touch air.

Couldn't breathe and I couldn't move because I know I'm seeing a monster. Okay, I reload it. Yeah. Welcome to the show, everybody. You're listening to The Confessionals. I'm your host, Tony Merkel.

And, you know, we waited and waited to put this out. Not for any particular reason. It just was in the lineup. And we were waiting to put it out.

And your turn came up. And I contact you to say, hey, man, your show's going this week. And you're like, it's crazy. It's because your stories focus around where you're at in New Mexico. And New Mexico right now is mirroring something we would call hell. It is on fire. And you're leading the charge on, you're one of the people leading the charge on relief. And I thought it would be a good idea to bring you on for the intro to let people know the guests that they're about to hear as far as the interview goes is actually raising funds to fight these fires. And I wanted to give you an opportunity to talk to the people. So I'm going to hand it over to you, my friend.

Tell them what they can do, what you're doing, and where they can help. Sure. First off, I just wanted to thank you and everybody that works with the confessional for giving me this opportunity. And yeah, like you said, it's just perfect timing. You know, it was wild that you contacted me because the same day you contacted me and let me know that we were going to put this episode out. I happen to be on a political talk radio show here in New Mexico.

And we were raising funds, but mostly we wanted good because we're, I mean, yes, money's good. But like right now we need supplies for these people that are out of their homes and for the people that are on the front line and all the first response. is fighting as Blaze. For the listeners who aren't aware, I know you got listeners all over the world. New Mexico, northern New Mexico specifically, but there's multiple fires around our state right now.

There's some in the South too, but the two biggest fires, it started with one blaze, the place called Hermit's Peak. Then the winds just have not died down here, man. We've been in a high wind advisory, it seems like for the past month. Like today, we have 70 mile per hour winds in that area.

So it's not doing any good to help the blaze calm down. We've got not a single drop of rain. The first fire started with a out of control prescribed burn, believe it or not. I can't believe they even tried to do a prescribed burn during the state's worst drought. And also during the time when there's red flag, high wind

advisories, it was just a total debacle by the people that even decided to do that. But that's what started the first fire. And then they say the second fire started from, I believe, a down power line. But that started another fire on another mountain that's separated by a valley. Now the winds have merged these two fires together. And these two fires together, it's called the Cath Canyon Hermits Peak Fire.

It's currently the largest burning fire in the United States and has many, I know, hundreds of people that have lost their homes right now, if not thousands. I mean, we're talking about rural areas. So like small little towns, small little villages, but there's, There's a town of about, I don't know what Vegas is, Las Vegas, New Mexico, by the way, not Las Vegas, Nevada, but there's a Las Vegas, New Mexico. And that's probably the biggest town affected right now. There's about 15,000 people somewhere around there that live there. There's a university there and a historic site called the World College. It's the Armandhammer World College.

It's a castle. I don't even know if that's still there because it's in Guyana's Canyon over there. So it's affecting all these people in all these communities and whole towns and villages are being evacuated, rural areas, ranchers, you know, and it's just really, it's a really bad situation and they don't think they can get control of it until sometime in July. So instead of sit back and, you know, my way of dealing and coping with it was get involved. So me and my wife and some of our friends, we just started like, we're in the process of getting a nonprofit organization going ourselves, but we just been doing it out of the goodness of our heart.

everything from people doing online orders at Walmart and we go pick it up or people sending stuff in Amazon or, you know, cash apping us funds, you know, most of it's been in state, though. So it's good to get this information out. I got a couple people I'm going to share with you. I have a friend named Sam Coker. He runs the Castaneda bar and restaurant over there in Las Vegas, New Mexico. It's a historical site from our state. It's a very old building, historic hotel. Probably got ghosts in there, man. It's very old. right off the railroad tracks. He's running a soup kitchen. You can donate to him. He's also feeding all the first responders and firefighters there when they come

into town to get rest and recovery or before they go in to fight the blaze or the ones that are relieving the next cruise. He's feeding all these guys. You could go to feed las Vegas.com. I'll send you the link. You can put it up. People can look at it. It's all legit. This is all with, you know, and works with.

reputable, you know, organizations like Red Cross Salvation Army, you know, this guy's just got the space. He's got the big kitchen and people are coming in and eating those displaced and the first responders. So you can go to feed las Vegas.com. That's one. I got another one here. It's kind of a crazy name, but I will just put the link, but I'll say it. This guy works for the Salvation Army. He's spearheading. There's a few camps all around the state where these people have been one camp actually got moved because that camp got evacuated. So this new ones in Gloria, it's an area just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

And then there's some more starting up. I've heard an angel fire up north in a place called Taos. But this guy should be able to get goods, resources, whatever you, I mean, whatever in your heart, even if it was a single bottle of water, it makes a difference, believe it or not. But his name is Dwayne, Briseale. I believe Brezail is how he pronounces his name.

but it's d w a i n e dot b r-e a z-e-a-z-e-a-l-e-usw dot salvation army dot org now that's a that's a breathful but we'll put the links up people can look at them if you if god puts it on your heart to to send out a donation it's very much appreciated and thank you yeah man i appreciate you doing what you're doing and that's why i wanted to kind of bring you on and stuff because there have been people who emailed me talking about the fires in New Mexico and they the one person kind of got snappy with me in an email and they're like

why aren't you having donation links and stuff and because I'm like I don't know what donation link I'm very careful with that stuff because you know a lot of times you wind up saying hey go here I did that in the past with something else and it was brought to my attention very quickly that it was

not a good organization even though they say they were and I thought they were and so I'm very careful with that stuff but because you are a guest on the show. And the way it all worked out, I mean, with you being up this week for an interview. And then it just, I thought, you know what? Sometimes God just kind of brings things together for a purpose. And I just feel like that's this.

And I know you feel the same way. So I wanted to bring you on for the intro of this interview that people are going to hear of you that were recorded last year just so you can share that information. The links are in the description below. So anybody who feels led to donate, whether it's a dollar to a bazillion trillion, billions, it's much appreciated. And, you know, it's just, just follow your heart. If you don't feel like you want to donate, that's fine. But if you want to donate, just follow your heart on it and donate where you want and how much you want friends. But let's get into this interview with

Raul. Man, it's going to be awesome. And I'm excited for people to hear it. All right, today we got Raul in the show. What's up, man? Hey, how you doing? Man, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. we just got done chatting up and stuff and, you know, you got me a little fired up, but we're not going to go down that path right now. You got your own personal Tony rant going there. So, but it was good conversation, man. But listen, man, you have a lot of different experiences you want to share with us and stuff. I mean, UFO stuff, your wife's family's land, you lived with a ghost hunter.

I mean, you kind of have these different experiences and you said that you had a list of things you wanted to share and in chronological order. So listen, man, I'm going to hand it over to you, let you take it away. Share with us some of these things that you first started experiencing in your life. Yeah, right on, man. Well, thanks for having me first off. And yeah, you know, when I was real young, like, I don't really have anything from when I was a smaller child. You know, my experiences with, like, weird or paranormal stuff probably started to happen around the seventh and eighth grade.

And I think I kind of invited it into my life now that I look back on it. But when I was young, I didn't really. I mean, I had nightmares and stuff, but nothing like crazy. But, you know, seventh, eighth grade, I'm 43 years old. So this is like 1990. I had a best friend, man. We'd always like, you know, stay the night at each other's houses. And especially summer vacations, you know, I was always either at his house or he was at my house.

And, you know, when the parents are at work on long summer vacations during the days, you get into things you shouldn't get into and, you know, just being naughty kids that we were being at the time, you know. And I remember we watched. this movie, I don't know if you remember this movie Witchboard, I think that's what it was called is like a story about a movie about a woman that played with the Ouija board by herself. And at first, like, it would do like nice things for her. Like it helped her find her lost wedding ring and, you know, and then it turned like bad on her, you know?

And me and my buddy watched this movie and I was like, my mom has one of those things. And I was talking about the Ouija board, right? And he was like, she's like, she's. does and I was like yeah it's in her closet I was like dude let's mess with it and he was like yeah you know like awesome dude let's do it you know just bored kids you know so I went in my mom's closet you know didn't have her permission to go through her stuff or anything but I went and got this Ouija board and this isn't like a typical Ouija board either man it's like uh the only way I could explain this Ouija board was like it was handmade almost it was like a plank of wood and

somebody had like literally burned like you know you need wood carvings and you burn yeah they burned like the whole thing on the Ouija board, but it had it all, you know, with the sun and the moon and the yes and the no and the numbers and the letters. And, you know, it had this old, like, wooden little triangular plank that they made

with, like, velvet on the bottom. And, you know, me and my friend started messing with this thing. And we didn't even know how to use it. We were just, like, imitating what we were seen in the movie because it kind of shows her putting her fingers on it and, like, circling it around and asking a question. And so we would just start out like doing that, you know. And, you know, the first time or two that we did it, because we messed with this thing a few times, like I didn't notice anything right off the bat, you know.

And we were kind of like, well, this ain't, nothing's happening, you know? Like, I don't know what we were expecting to happen. But I remember we had a sleepover and some other kids came over, some other kids from school. And there was like a bunch of us. Like, there was like four or five kids in my house that night. And we were messing with it. And we were asking it different questions. And I remember one of my friends, I didn't even know he was, he was, he was Jewish, you know.

And this thing, the board started saying, like, really, like, offensive, nasty stuff, you know. And I don't want to sound like, offend anybody. But, like, the Ouija board told my friend he's going to burn in an oven. And my friend, like, started to cry. And he was like, you guys, that's not funny. don't mess with me like that. Like, he's like, I've never told you guys that my family's Jewish and like, why are you guys doing this?

If this is a joke, you guys are sick. Like, what's wrong with you? And me and my friends were like, dude, like, we didn't even know. Like, so that was the first weird thing that happened with the Ouija board. And then, like, uh, my friend started getting haunting to his house. And I remember he told me a story that, uh, he had this little dog and the back of his house actually his bedroom was a sliding glass door to go to the outside to the back yard and it had like venetian blinds and they were high off the ground like you'd have to be like you know a full-sized

adult to reach on top of them you know what i mean with your hand and uh he says that he was sleeping in his bed one night and he was hearing voices come through his vent and he heard like an evil voice that said 911 that's what he told me That's creepy. And that, yeah. And he said he went and got his little brother out of his room and made him come sleep in his room with him. And that when they woke up in the morning, all his dog's toys, because he had like a doggie door to go outside for his little, he had like a Shih Tzu. And the thing would just go in and out, you know, through that doggy door.

And it was in the sliding glass door in his room. And he said when he woke up, all of his dog's squeak toys were lined up on top of the Venetian blinds. and he said, well, his little brother couldn't do it because he's too short. He'd have to pull out a chair to stand up there to do it. He asked his mom, and his mom looked at him like, are you crazy? Like, of course not. Why would I go in your room and put all of Tiffy's, that was the name of his dog, all of her toys on the top of your blinds?

And he didn't do it, and nobody else was in the house. So it was kind of like, okay, that's weird. And then I just remember, too, like I started getting, you know, really bad. like night terrors, you know, like ones where you're like frozen in your sleep and, and like you're a little kid so you put the covers over you and, uh, and you're scared to peep out the covers, like just really like wicked intense dreams. I was hearing like things move around in my house and like, you know, in rooms when nobody was there. So yeah, that was like my first really starting to like encounter things that you would call paranormal. And I just remembered one day,

you know me and Kyle talking about this stuff we're like dude that thing's evil we need to get rid of it and uh we went and uh because every time we pull it out i'd always make sure to like try to put it back and and stash it in my mom's closet like where we found it you know so she didn't know we were messing with her stuff and uh we took it and uh we got baseball bats and we took it to the desert wash because we live we were living in i was living in phoenix arizona and there's a big empty like desert wash on the other side of a there were like patio homes and there was a brick wall and on the other side there was like an arroyo or like a creek you know that the rainwater runs down and we took it down in there we got ronsanel lighter fluid and baseball bats and we beat the crap out of

the thing till it splintered we sprayed it with lighter fluid and we lit it on fire and uh i remember my mom found out and oh man she let me have it and uh and uh What was funny, though, too, is, like, my mom now, she's, like, really active in the Baptist church, and she sings in the choir. And so it would be even funny that back then my mom even had something like that, you know what I mean? Like, reflecting back on it. So that'd be the first thing that experience with paranormal. And then in eighth grade, we had these other brothers. So this is, like, 1991, probably.

They're Stephen Jim, Antonini, brother. brothers and everybody knew like that their house was haunted or at least that's what all the kids would say and these kids like their their parents were kind of like parents that were always gone so like it was like a party house you know and like all the kids would like go to their house and like have parties and stuff but everybody would always say that house was haunted and one night there was like four or five of us you know kids in the house and we're like in the there was like a living room area and then there was like a kitchen countertop that had like bar stools and then on the other side of that like your your stove in the sink and the refrigerator

and me and jim which is a younger brother we were like making macaroni and cheese i think and my other friend kevin was sitting in the bar stool like and there was a sliding glass door to go outside uh you know um by where he was sitting in the bar stools and then my other two friends were sitting on the couch. And we're just talking and having fun. And they had one of those old radios where you spin the dial and the thing, you know, that's how you change the radio station by spinning the dial. And this thing, we were listening to like the hip-hop radio station of the time or whatever it was on.

And this thing just starts like freaking going haywire and like it's like moving to different stations. And we're like, who the hell's messing with that? And we look and like nobody's even standing by the radio. It's doing it on its own. And then my friend Kevin just jumps up out of that bar stool and he like slams his hands on the countertop. And he's all, look. And like me and Jim like come from around the kitchen countertop because we're like at the stove. And he points towards the glass, the sliding glass door.

And I swear, dude, it looked like, you know, like when you throw a rock in water and how it kind of ripples. The glass like did this weird like ripply looking thing. I don't know if it was just an illusion or if it was like a reflection, but it looked like something rippled across the glass. And then from behind us, there was a hallway going to like another like front living room den area, but it was all the lights were turned off. And this freaking huge, I mean like volley, not volleyball, like a beach ball shaped orb, light orb, comes. flying down that dark hallway and then just goes into the wall. And as soon as this thing like absorbed into the wall, like three doors upstairs shut. Like I get the chills right now even thinking about it.

And like all of us, his parents weren't home. Nobody else was home. All of us were downstairs. Dude, we all screamed. We jumped up. We ran outside the house. And like, I remember the Antony brothers. They were like laughing about it. You know, they thought it was funny. But they lived there. So I guess they kind of got used to this thing or whatever. But like everybody, we were all freaked out. I was freaked out. And I was like, I'm not going back in your house, dude.

And they had like a community swimming pool area where they lived. And I remember I slept on like a beach cot that they had at the swimming pool because I didn't want to go back to their house. And I had another friend that stayed the night there that left home crying that he said a spirit was calling his name. And he called his mom and dad at like two o'clock in the morning. and made them go pick them up. And so those were, those were my first couple, like, experiences with things out of the norm. And then I go quite a few years and, like, nothing crazy happens. And then in 2008, I lost my dad.

And it was, like, the week of his death, maybe, like, four or five days afterwards. And, you know, I was taking it pretty hard at the time. I was hitting the bottle pretty hard. And, you know, I had an older lady friend, you know, not a girlfriend or anything, just an older lady that was really nice that was a really good friend, especially during that time. And she would look out for me and she was making sure that I would eat meals because, you know, when you're drinking and stuff, you know, I really didn't even feel like eating. So she would, like, bring me food. And she'd be like, here, you need to eat. And I remember we were sitting.

So the way my dad's property was because I was living in his property because I took it over. Like, I lived with him while he was sick. up until he died and then when he passed away like I stayed at that property for a few years until me and my brother eventually ended up selling the property but uh you know I was the way that it was set up there was a house in the front and then my dad had like like his own little studio apartment that he built in the backyard my grandma lived in the front house and my dad lived in that studio apartment in the back so when he passed away I took over that like studio apartment in the backyard and uh I had at the time I was renting the front house to some other people.

And so me and my friend comes over, my lady friend Laverne, she comes over and, you know, she brings me food and we're eating, we're drinking. And I'm listening to my dad's old music and my dad was really into like country music, like, you know, the good old stuff. And I was playing one of his cassette tapes, you know, and just reminiscing. And we're sitting in the backyard. And on the side of the front house, there's a security light. So if somebody walked by it, it would trigger this light to turn on.

And, you know, sometimes like a stray cat or something would trigger the light to go off. So the fact that it turned on by itself wasn't weird, but what ended up happening was. But it was weird. We were sitting there. And I was sitting, so I had like a screen door with the door open. And the music was playing and we were sitting in these benches that I had in my backyard. And the security light went off on the side of the house. So I thought maybe somebody.

was coming through the back gate. And I heard the back gate open and shut because it was on a spring, so it would swing itself shut even if you didn't turn around to close the gate behind you. So the light goes off. I hear the gate creak open and then slam shut. And I'm sitting there waiting for somebody to come through the door or, you know, come through the sideway of the house and emerge into the backyard. And nobody's coming.

So I was like, oh, maybe it's a cat is what my first thing. like, oh, it's a stray cat or something. And me and my friend LeBern were sitting there, and then all of a sudden I just see a shadow come across the fence. And it was a pretty tall wooden fence separating my neighbor's yard. And I swear, man, it was the shadow like of my dad. He always wore a baseball cap, you know. He had like a pretty, like a thick beard.

And, you know, in the silhouette of the shadow, it was a man with a baseball hat and like a full beard. You know, if you have a full beard, like it hangs off your chin, you know what I mean? It was like this shadow profile. And it just walked by, like, real quick, maybe a second or two. And then just disappeared. And I was like, and my friend was like, I was like, what the? Like I did, I was totally like, didn't even realize what was going on.

And my friend was like, I think that was your dad. And yeah, so that was a, that was pretty wild little experience. And that happened like, you know, like four or five days after he passed away. never had any other well you know besides some confirmation that he was like saying hi to me from the other side like random things would come on the tv or radio that would i'd be like ha ha that's my dad you know what i mean but that experience right there was like definitely uh strange but but like a cool strange yeah and then uh this is where like things really start to get like ramping up for me man like i started getting some really intense like uh like more and more

like intense, paranormal stuff happening to me. And it started with this UFO experience I'm going to go into that happened in the summer of 2009. And I've always been like, let me backtrack a little bit. I've always kind of been intrigued by like the occult.

And like I had a friend that, you know, when 9-11 happened, like he got me into conspiracy theories. And, you know, we started researching the Illuminati and secret societies and Freemasons. And, you know,

I watched videos that Alex Alex Jones did on the Bohemian Grove. And, you know, I lived right across from a library and I used to go rent books and, you know, somebody told me read the book of Enoch and, you know, I think the, that alien show that's real popular, it's first started coming out, you know, around that time. So I'd watch those. And I was just really fascinated by the whole phenomenon of like secret societies and the occult and like paranormal stuff intrigued me.

and I don't know if I like opened up Pandora's box but this is just my personal feeling. I think like those spirits, you know, when you're looking at into that stuff, you know what I mean? And you start to open yourself spiritually to have these experiences, you know? And I remember reading stuff and I would be like, you know, I was kind of inviting something to happen to me because I'd be like, well, I want to see something like that. You know, I want to experience something like that. And man, sure enough, I started having these experiences and it started. out 2009 came house. So like I told you, we had the front house that I was renting out. And at the time, it was my cousin and his girlfriend and her kids. And I was living in the apartment in the back. And I got off of work. And it was like late in the summer. So, you know, the sun goes down like nine o'clock or whatever. And I got off of work like 7.30, 8 o'clock. I went home. I had some beer. I had knocked on the front house. And I told my cousin, his, We call him Puma funny story because he actually got jumped by some kids and they kicked him in the head with a Puma shoe.

And he had the imprint of a Puma head after he got jumped. So he'll tell you it's because he's really fast. But the real story is he got kicked in the head with a Puma shoe. And ever since that, he was Puma. So I was with my cousin Puma who was renting the front house and we're sitting in those because I know it sounds bad. But I stole from the Carnegie Library that was across the street. They didn't have this park bench, like, chain down. And me and my friends, when we were drunk one day, we moved one of those benches into my backyard.

And that's where we'd always hang out and sit on those benches and drink beer and, you know, drink whiskey and listen to music and party in my backyard. So it's like 8 o'clock at night, you know, and I go knock on the door. Puma comes out and me and him are sitting on the benches outside. So it's starting, like the sun's starting to go down, but it's not down yet. and I'm sitting on the opposite side of the table from him, and he's sitting facing the other direction. And I don't know if I guess it would be I was facing east and he was facing west. But either way, this is in a place called Las Vegas, New Mexico. So it's a smaller town.

And yes, there is a Las Vegas, New Mexico, by the way, the original Las Vegas, older than Las Vegas, Nevada. Really weird place, by the way. You'll hear more about this soon. But this is when it starts to get weird. So I'm facing the opposite direction in this town. It's a smaller town. And like a lot of the houses in this town are like the old Victorian-style home. So it's a really popular place for them to go shoot movies.

I don't know if you know, like, New Mexico is like a big, big, the film shooting industry right now because they film out here tax-free. So all these studios are moving to New Mexico. And actually, I currently, my last position was working with one of these shows pretty cool. but it's a real popular town that they shoot in because there's a lot of history here. There's a lot of old Victorian homes. There's these giant elm trees that line the streets. It's like a really cool looking. You know,

if any of your people listen to the podcast want to see the town, watch the original Red Dawn movie. That's where it was filmed. It's not in a place in Colorado. It's actually in that town in New Mexico. And the beginning scenes, the library that I used to live across from. So back to the experience I'm sitting facing

the other direction. And behind my house, there's an alley and then the house is on the other side, but these elm trees are really big that lie in the streets. You know, they're, they go up higher than the houses themselves. And, you know, obviously you could see the trees through the gaps in the houses. And I'm sitting there. And I remember, because there's a lake, there's a place called Story Lake that's on the other side of town. And it's not uncommon that you see migrating birds flying over the town that are going to that lake. And I just remember because I wasn't expecting to see anything. I saw something out the corner of my eye to the right. And at first, I was like, well, there's a flock of Canadian geese flying in a V formation. That's what I thought.

And then I noticed it wasn't moving. And something told me, you turn your head and look. And I turned my head and I look at this thing. And lo and behold, I can't even believe it, man. there's a freaking UFO like hovering on what would be the opposite street from the behind the alley from behind the houses that are that are from me and where the trees are you know down the street a little bit there's a freaking UFO like a like a V-shaped UFO and like I said it's just starting to get dark so I noticed they had like these red reddish yellow orange lights and they look like colds in a fire, you know, like it didn't look like a typical light that was just red or just yellow or just orange. Like they were like, it was like pulsating these colors.

And I freaking, I had a glass beer. I stood up and I threw my beer and it hit the river rocks in my backyard and shattered everywhere. And I grabbed the table of the bench and I said, there's a bleeping UFO. And my cousin Puma, like, stands up, like, quickly, and he's all, what? Where? And I, like, grab him because he's facing the other direction. By the shoulders from the other side of the table, I turned him around, and I point at it. And I was all, look. And he's all, what the is that? And then right when we, right when he said that, this thing, like, raises up, like, hovering, and it goes to, like, a higher elevation, because it was probably, pretty low and it goes to a higher elevation and then just zoomed like nothing you've ever seen before. And me and him were both like, what the, did we just see what we saw? Like we're tripping out, dude. And like, I'm asking him, so what did you see? What did you see? And he explains the same. And I was like, that's what I saw. I'm like, oh my God. Like, dude, we're not

tripping, are we? His girlfriend comes out, the front house at this time. She comes to the the backyard, you know, to check on us. And we're talking about this thing we just saw. And she starts laughing at us. And she's like, oh, you guys, what did you take? Are you guys on shrooms? You know, like, you guys are stupid. Like, you must think I'm silly. And then while she's out there making fun of this, all of a sudden, in another part of the sky, those things pop out. And then they just start doing all these crazy, like, I've seen videos on, like, YouTube and a lot of videos on, like, paranormal caught on camera of like orbs like you know like a bunch of them showing up and then they fly and start doing different formations and that's what this thing did that's what it was doing it would

like pop out and you'd see like four and then you'd see like six and then it'd make like a circle and then it'd go back to a v and then it would just shoot across the sky and then like it just kept happening and it was happening in different parts of the sky and so this is in 2009 and I didn't even think at the time I don't I didn't even have a cell phone at this time I was living in a small town I still had a landline. My cousin Puma had, I think it was like whatever Blackberry phone was out at that time. And then finally, like I told him like, dude, like try to try to get some pictures of this thing. Like, you know, try to film it, you know?

And we would stand. Like I would stand one direction. He'd stand one direction and his girlfriend would stand another direction because it would pop out in different parts of the sky. And whoever would see it, we'd all turn to what they were looking at. my neighbor, I guess, hears us from his yard, and he leans, he comes over the fence and he's all, what the heck are you guys doing, dude? He's like, I can hear you. And we're like, dude, there's UFOs. And he's like, what? And he's like, no way. We're like, come here, man. Like, stand here with us. And sure enough, dude, they start popping out again. And he sees them. I get on the phone,

I call my other friend, we called him Hafa. I called this dude, and he lives down the street. He comes running over in my house. He ends up seeing it. So there's a, a little UFO watch party going on in my backyard. I don't know how long this lasted like 30 to 45 minutes. I even got on the phone at the time and I remember, you know, I had to use a phone book because I didn't have a smartphone and I like called like the local Albuquerque news station, which is the major city in New Mexico, you know, and I was telling them, dude, I was like, do you guys got any like camera crews out here in Las Vegas, New Mexico? I was like, we're out here and we're seeing UFOs. And I remember like the people on the phone like were like, yeah, I'm sure, pal,

You know, it's kind of the attitude I got from them. And they were like, well, why don't you just get some, like, video footage of it and we'll look at it. And if it looks good, maybe we'll use it. And they kind of, they just wrote me off, you know? And I was like, well, you know, like, whatever, you know, went back and eventually it just stopped happening. And I remember my neighbor, Carlos, the guy that came over the fence was like, he's like, what the hell was that, man? He was like, he was mind-blown. We were all mind-blown.

You know, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. all of us, you know, and we're back there talking. I mean, we, it was a crazy conversation we're having, and I just remember my neighbor was like, man, he's like, he was like an atheist. He didn't believe, he's that one of those people, I have to see it to believe it. And I remember him saying that night, he's like, dude, he's like, this rocked my world. I'm going to go back home and he's like, I'm going to pray with my family. And he's like, pray, dude, you don't even believe in God, you know. So, I mean, it really shook him up too, you know. So that was the, the first experience that I had with UFOs and not the last.

That's crazy. So this really sends me, yeah. So this really sends me into like, okay, like, I know. And dude, these weren't drones. They weren't planes. They weren't helicopters. Like, I used to work EMS. You know, there are like medical flights that go back and forth between, you know,

small winged aircraft and helicopters that fly people from rural areas to the city for treatment. It wasn't anything like that. It wasn't anything. I mean, if the military has stuff like this, bro, then they must be working with extraterrestrials because this thing like defied physics, you know, and the way it moved and it was weird. Like so that sends me on this, okay, man, I'm like, I'm really digging into this stuff now, you know? So like I said, my, my, um, searching and my digging starts getting more enhanced and deeper. Um, And I remember I started really researching at this time. I was really researching the Masons.

And there's a big history, like old history in this town. It's like one of the oldest towns in northern New Mexico has a lot of history. Supposedly they used to hang people in the elm trees in the plaza downtown, like criminals and, and, you know, like cattle thieves. Billy the kid has a history in this town. Like this town has a lot of like old New Mexican history. history. And supposedly, no, not supposedly, there is underground tunnels in this town. They go from the Plaza Hotel and they run underground to one of the old Catholic churches and underground to a Masonic temple. And during Halloween in this town, they open those things up and they let people

run around in them during Halloween time. So I was like into researching like the masons and all this stuff. And I remember there was a where the Masonic lodge wasn't too far from my house. And I, there used to be this bar called Dix that was, you know, walking distance from my house. But I'd have to walk past this Mason lodge to get to it to the street that it was on. And one night I would, you know, I'd walk because I didn't want to drink and drive. And it was a short enough walk for me to to walk home. So one night I go out and I have a few drinks and I'm walking by myself to my house. And this is when I'm researching all this stuff. And, you know, I don't know if you know about Molek and they burn this giant effigy of an owl in northern woods of California.

Yep. And supposedly, like, Molek can be like a bull or an owl. I don't really understand how it works. But they do supposed mock human sacrifices to him and say these, like, these satanic prayers where they wash away their cares. And it's like the world elite go to these things. and like it's like a secret and you know Alex Jones did a thing on it back in the day and you know I was like into that stuff and and it was funny because I'm walking and I would have never known this thing was there it made its presence known to me but I'm walking down the street it's nighttime

and right on top of the Mason Lodge first I hear this boo boom boom and I was like and I turned my head and I look and there's a huge owl man and he's sitting on top of the Mason Lodge And I'm thinking in my head, ha, ha, that's hilarious, dude. Like, what a coincidence, dude. You know what I mean? That's what I'm thinking. So I walk further down the street. I turned the corner.

And then there's this old Sablemat gas station that had like one of those old school, old school gas signs where they, you know, put the numbers for the price of gas on, you know. And then when I'm walking past that, he's sitting on top of the sign at Sable Matt. Boo, br-boo, boo! like hooting and making noise at me. So I'm like, I'm starting to get creeped out, you know what I mean? And I keep walking down the street. And at this point, I'm on the street that I live on.

And like I said, I lived across from a Carnegie Library, and there's a bunch of big trees in that park. And I get close to my house. And then he's in the trees at the library. And he's hooting at me. And I remember, man, I'd like, once I got to like where my yard was, I like turn hit hit that side gate, went to my room, my studio and locked that, you know, locked it up and was like, what the heck was that all about?

It like creeped me out, you know? I had a hard time sleeping that night. It was just like really weird. Like it wasn't normal. That's not normal activity like of an animal, you know what I mean? And that wasn't my first experience with them, but with owls, you know? the girl that I was dating at the time, this was probably a few months later.

And same thing, I was with her brother, who was at the time going through nursing school. And me and him, she used to always tell us, like, can you guys stop watching those videos? Like, I'm tired of it. I don't want to hear that stuff.

She's like, it gives me bad vibes. Like, you know, she would get mad when we'd watch these videos. But her brother, I got him all into this stuff. And we were watching videos about, like, Bohemian Grove and, like,

secret societies and like I go outside and it was like we pause the video on the laptop and I go outside and right on the telephone pole right outside of her apartment is this giant owl and I'm like okay like I'm creeped out like immediately I'm like okay this is weird like now you're over here and it's dead like staring right at me and I have my back like I'm by the front door. I have my back to the door. I have a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. And I'm looking at this thing. And I was like, okay, like, I'm not going to let this thing spook me. I put my beer down. I switch my cigarette to my left hand. I lean down. I pick up a rock from the front area, like right off the sidewalk. And I whizz this thing at this owl. I throw a rock at it.

and I've never thrown a rock at a bird or a wild animal and it doesn't take off or fly away or scurry off, you know. This thing, this rock that I picked up, I mean, it whizzed right by this thing's head and it did it flinch or move a bit. And I was like at that point, I didn't even turn my back to it. I slowly extinguished my cigarette and I walked into my back to the wall and I opened the door from behind my back. and I went in the house and closed the door watching this thing the whole time. I go to the room where my girlfriend at the time is sleeping, and I'm like, or she was laying down, I don't know if she was asleep yet.

And I'm like, hey, hey, look outside. Look outside. Like, there's a giant owl outside. And she's like, and then she looks out the window and she tells me, quote from her, she's all, you need to stop with that shit. like you're whatever you're doing you need to stop

so yeah that was pretty odd with the owls and then I'm assuming you didn't stop though I'm assuming you didn't stop oh no man no no man so it intensifies from here so I move to

because I kind of started doing bad in that town and you know it's a small town so it's kind of like boring and so I was drinking a lot and you know like there's other things that go on in that town. And I saw a lot of my friends doing bad. And I was like, you know, I had an uncle tell me, like, you need to get out of here and change your life. And you're really smart. You should, you should go to school and do this and do that. You know,

I did have kids. And, yeah, and I was like, okay, well, you know, I need to get my life straight. You know what I mean? Because I'm not being the best version of myself. And you're right. And so I decided, you know, me and my brother put the house on the market and I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. I stayed a short stint on my family's land where eventually I end up having more weird experiences down the road when I go back there. But, you know, I stayed like a little stint like six months in like a little cabin house like in the woods in northern New Mexico. And it was the best thing for me because I was disconnected from everybody. And it gave me time to, you know, read the Bible and reflect on what was important and get myself clean. And I would wake up in the

morning, there'd be a herd of elk in front of my house. And, you know, it really brought me back to reality. And then after that, in 2012, I moved back to Albuquerque, New Mexico. And it gets crazy again. Stuff starts getting crazy. So, you know, I was in this, like, underground hip-hop group that, you know, me and my buddies were recording music and we were doing shows in downtown Albuquerque at the time. And my buddy that I was living with, it was his house. He was getting into ghost hunting. And he had bought all this equipment. You know, it was like an EVP machine and some handheld recorder that he said was

really good for picking up phenomenon. And then he had like infrared cameras and spirit box and I don't know, like all this stuff that he was buying. And I was like, dude, you're crazy. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not getting down with all that. Like you're out there. you know, but I was living with them and, and, uh, you know, he showed me this, this weird book, too,

that he had and like, he really was like going all in and this stuff. And he had this book, and I call it a tone because this thing is not even a book. It's like this really old, like it had a big Mason symbol on it. It was like from the early 1900s. And I wish I could remember what it was called. And it had like all the world's religions in it. And then it had like different parts of the book. And he wouldn't let anybody look at this. thing. And he said it was worth like, I don't know, like thousands of dollars, this, this tome that he had. And he had got it from this Rastafarian is what he told me. And he let me look at it one time. And it had like how to summon demons and how to make citical circles and what elements

to put in the circles and different, you know, prayers to chant. Yeah, it was a weird book. And I specifically remember the page I opened up to, I'll never forget it. It was like Mephistophiles, I think he was called. And it showed how you could summon Mephistophiles. And he looked like Yoda from Star Wars, the little, you know, drawing that they had depicted in this book. It was like really weird. And so he was into this stuff deep, you know. And he's contacting people at Facebook on this time, you know, like trying to get people to,

houses to go investigate or places that are haunted. And so he joins these communities on Facebook or whatever. He's contacting people and he gets a message from this guy. And this guy's like, oh, I got a house for you, buddy. And so he tells me to go with him because he's got a lot of expensive equipment. And this was in a really, really bad neighborhood in Albuquerque. Like, you know, in old Albuquerque down by the train tracks, you know, a lot of drugs and gangs in this area. And he's like, bro, he's like, don't make me go by myself, man.

He's like, I just want to go do the initial investigation, check it out. and then we'll go back later with more people and we'll do the full-blown thing. So I go with him to this and there's actually, I could probably find it. I think that it still posts us somewhere on YouTube on his old channel like the original walkthrough that we did. And so I'll send you a link to that after we talk or whatever. And we show up at this place and it's on this property and it's an abandoned house from this guy and his family own this property and there's other house.

is in the back by the train tracks that nobody lives in anymore. They're abandoned, they're rundown, you know, the windows are broken out, the floors are, you know, dilapidated, you know, the, it's just, it's like, looks like an old rundown, abandoned house. And the guy that his family still lived in the front property said they've erected fences and done all kinds of stuff to try to keep vagrants from going in there. But, you know, people, like the homeless people were going in, there squatting in there. He said people like there was evidence that somebody was cooking meth in there. Like there was satanic stuff written on the wall. There was clothes of garlic like hanging from

the ceiling. There was like stuff that people had just left behind. And he's telling us the story of this house. And supposedly a couple people have died at that house. One guy was a gang member got shot in the face like on the front porch. And then another guy committed suicide in that house and there's still like blood on the wall where you could see from where this guy had done this to himself and then after that nobody lived in that house anymore and it just got run down so he's telling us the story we're walking through this house and there's a thick pile of dirt and dust on the floor so as you're walking around the house you could see your footprints you know and all of a sudden on the floor starts appearing blood, like fresh blood.

And me and my friend that brought me there were like, okay, dude, like, this isn't funny. Like, where's the fake blood? Like, you're dripping this on the floor, aren't you? And he's all, no, man, I swear, dude, I'm not messing with you. He's like, no, because we walked, because I don't know if it was me who walked through it first or I think it was the guy that took us there, walked through it, and we noticed it smear on the floor.

And, you know, so my friend's like trying to ask him, like, hey, bro, don't be like bullshitting us. Like, if you're doing this,

dude, come clean. Like, this isn't funny. Like, we're here legitimately trying to, like, capture real stuff.

Like, don't be messing with us. And he's all, dude, I swear, I'm not doing that. And he empties the contents of his pockets. And he's like,

we put the camera on him. And, And so I'm like, okay, well, maybe I have a bloody nose or maybe I got caught on a nail or something and somebody's dripping blood. So we're looking at each other like, where is this coming from? You know, there's no evidence of an animal that just ran through because you know what I mean? We're like, where is this blood coming from? And I didn't want to touch it. But my friend with the camera goes down and he touches it.

And sure enough, it smears across the floor. And there's like little droplets of blood just appearing on the floor. I don't know. The weirdest thing. And it was like late fall getting into winters at this point. And I remember like it was so cold in that house, not to mention just all the weird stuff we saw on the wall, all the weird artifacts in there.

Oh, and then another thing, it said on the wall, it said derail, like D-Hifin rail. Be careful out there. So one of my older brother's name is Daryl. And I've never heard anybody else with this nickname, but he calls himself D-Rail. And for this freaking writing to be on the wall, D, rail, be careful out there, was like, how is this even possible? I've never even heard that name anywhere.

And now it's on that wall in this haunted house that we're at, you know, next to 666 and pentagrams everywhere. Like, I was like, huh, that's funny, you know. And, oh, we capture voice phenomenon. Like, my friend on the camera, you know, picks up this voice with his box. He's all, are there any spirits in here that want to make their presence known? and this little voice comes to and it says, I already told you my God. Wow.

Like, yeah. And you can hear it on the audio recording. It's a pretty good recording. Like, I'll try to track down the video on YouTube and hopefully the whole thing's still up. I don't know. I don't talk to this friend anymore. It's kind of sad, but, you know, he's, you know, that's something else. But, yeah, the last time I looked, I did find, I had to do some digging, but I did find

on his old YouTube YouTube channel. So I'll share that with you. So anyways, I do that initial investigation with him. And we leave home. And like I said, it was brutally cold. I wasn't really dressed. I wasn't prepared for this and started getting dark while we were there. We finally leave.

He tells me, I'm going back, man. That place is awesome. And he's pumped up because he found a real haunted house, right? And so he gets a group of people on Facebook and he goes back and he does an investigation. I don't go with him for the second one. At this point, I'm like, dude, that was enough for me. Like, that place creep me out. I don't want to go back.

I don't want to have nothing to do with it. I go home. I talk to one of my cousins. She's like, put black salt around your windows and burn sage and light a Jesus candle and put holy water on your belongings and wash your shoes. And she's telling me all this stuff to do to cleanse myself spiritually. Because by this point,

I'm starting with all the stuff I've researched. I'm kind of figuring that, you know, these spirits can follow you around. So I wanted to make sure I was protected. Well, my buddy, he didn't do any of that. I think he was like, he was rogue.

He was like, thinking he was like, you know, Mr. Macho and I'm going to like tackle this paranormal world. It's kind of just how his attitude was. He had that kind of bravado to him, you know what I mean? And like, oh, there ain't nothing that can hurt me. I'm fine, you know, and well, something followed us home because we started having weird stuff happening in that house, man. I had two different friends, you know, that stopped staying the night at our house because we

were recording music and stuff and we'd stay up late. have different people at the house and people just couch or cratch on the couch, you know? And the couple friends had said they seen this entity that looked like a distorted witch. And it was like a ghostly entity, like white smoke and mist. And two different people, not the same person, described almost the same thing. They were sleeping on that couch. They woke up from a dead sleep in sheer terror. and this thing materialized through the front door flew directly at their face and right when it was about to hit them just vanished in the thin air.

And me myself too, like one day I was sitting in the front and I was watching YouTube and nobody was there at the house at the time and I was watching a documentary on YouTube about aliens and it got into this whole thing, at least this specific documentary got into like, you know, that gray aliens. are demons from hell. And it was talking about their fallen angels that fell with Lucifer. And right when this documentary on the TV mentioned Lucifer, like I just heard like one of the cabinets in the kitchen like just slam with so much force. And like glasses and a bowl fell out of the like off the cabinet next to it. And like onto the the kitchen countertop and broke. and we had a pit bull.

She came running from whatever part of the house she was in and she just zoomed herself right underneath my legs. And I remember I was so freaked out. I didn't even want to get up off the couch and go in the kitchen. I was so scared to go see what was in there. I didn't see anything, but like there's nothing to explain like that would happen, you know, how that would happen. And I called my buddy and I was telling him, hey, man, like I was telling them what just happened.

And he kind of laughed at me. And I was like, bro, this ain't funny, bro. Like, I'm just freaked. out. And then the last couple crazy things that happened at that house, and I'll move on to something else. But one night he was sleeping in his room, and I was in my own room. And he gets me up. I don't even know what time it is. And I know it sounds cliche, but it's probably like three, four o'clock in the morning, you know, the witching hour, whatever. He's in his room. And he comes out to me and he tells, he knocks on my door and he's all, come here, come here. He's all, bro. There's something oozing out of my

wall above my bed and I'm like yeah right dude and I go in his room and like that same kind of looking stuff but it was kind of a different color it almost had a purple color to it as well like this freaking stuff was like oozing out of his wall above his bed and like I don't know from further research like when you have paranormal activity and spirits are like manifesting himself I've heard like like the Ghostbusters talk about ectoplasm. Like, as we eventually kind of thought maybe that was, like later on, we thought, well, maybe that was like ectoplasm. And he told me that he was having a nightmare with a dark entity in a cloak that was choking him.

And he said he was trying to wake himself up, but he couldn't. He was battling this thing in his sleep, but he said it felt so real like he's really being choked, that he woke up out of breath. But he said, as this thing was choking him, he said, that he was trying to cry out to God. And this thing was mocking him, telling him, your faith is not strong and was just choking the crap out of him. And he said he just continued to cry out to God.

And eventually this thing let up. And then he woke up and that stuff is coming out of his wall. So, you know, this ends up scaring him. So he ends up having two white witches that he found on Facebook once again, come over to the house and do a cleansing. And when they first came over, I was there the first time. one of them ladies was a spiritual medium that says so they travel into i guess these two ladies and they were older probably like in their late 50s early 60s and uh one of the ladies says she's a

spiritual medium that contact the spirit gets it to attach itself to her and then her and the other lady take the spirit outside and the other lady will cast the demon outside of her outside so the spirit leaves the house what yes and there's a video of this too on YouTube. Oh my gosh. Yeah, and the lady starts, this is what, I'm getting excited here. So check this out. So she's walking around the house and the one lady. And without us telling her, she said there is a very strong witch in this house. Spirit of a witch. And what did my buddies say they saw? A witch fly through the door at their face. So I'm like totally like, okay. Like this is super creepy. So they leave. They They plan on like coming back and doing this exorcism or what, you know, of the house or whatever.

And my buddy was like, oh, I'm going to record this. This is going to be good. Like, and I happened to be going on a date that night. And this is my first date with this girl that I was going on. And like she ends up showing up in my house and these two, I don't want to be. But they were odd. They were otter women, you know, they lived a lifestyle. Most people don't live.

You know, obviously if they're doing stuff like this, you know. And but they were nice. They're super nice ladies. They show up and like this girl meets me. And he was like, do you guys want to hang out and watch this? And I was like, yeah, do you want me to have this person like lead here like terrified? Like, no, thank you. I'm going to leave the house.

So he goes and he does this thing with these ladies. And there's a video of it. He takes them outside. And one of the ladies, they have the camera on her with night vision because it's at night in this front yard. And it's funny too because you see our neighbors, which we partied a lot at that house. So they probably thought we were crazy anyways. He's got these two older ladies in front of his house. They're splashing this woman with holy water.

And they have crosses out. And this lady's freaking out. She rips her shirt off. She doesn't expose her breasts, but she does get, like, rips down to her brawl. And she screams in the camera while he's saying the Our Father Prayer. And she looks dead in the camera. And she goes, your father is not in heaven. He's in hell.

And, like, they do this whole thing on, camera with this lady and supposedly to exercise this demon out of her. By the end of the video, she's rolling around in the grass. And so supposedly though, the lady said, yeah, the spirit attached itself to her and the, it left. So I didn't stay at that house too much longer after that. Yeah. Like I said, I was, I was getting more involved in my kid's life. And, and I was, you know, I was going to school and, and I was headed towards a career. and I was like, I can't be living like this. And, you know, I met my wife who I'm with now and had more kids.

And, you know, like I was in a transition period and I was like, dude, this is not the place for me to live. You know what I mean when I'm trying to get my life straight? This is a crazy house. So I moved from there. And sorry, I took a few notes because I didn't want to lose myself. But the next like experience is that I start to have are with my wife that I'm with now. And I have photographic evidence of some of this stuff as well. But we went on a hike in the Sandia Mountain.

This is a good spirit, though, I think. This is like 2015, 2016. We're hiking in the Sandia Mountains here in Albuquerque. And we're walking a certain trail and just snapping pictures on the cell phone. And then later on, when we start looking at the pictures, there's a little green marble orb that followed us everywhere. And it's like following my kids and my dog. And I know it's not just a light phenomenon of sunlight hitting the camera because in some of these pictures, we were literally behind a cliff inside the shadows of the cliff.

So it wasn't even sunlight coming in the camera. And, you know, I don't know if you've seen those phones where you can hit the picture and it's snaps like like 15 or 20 pictures in like two or three seconds. Yeah. Um, we had one of those where you can do that and you can go through the picture and you can see this little orb manifests itself out of one of the bushes. And I swear it looks like a green cat's eye marble. I'll send you the pictures. Um, you can check that out. But, you know, it, it was weird. We didn't see it though. We didn't see it, but it was there. Um, and then just from some, from some research that I did, I don't know, I think may, it could have been it. It was,

I research green orbs like that and everything that I kind of found kind of said like they're they're not a ominous spirit or out to harm you. It could have been like an animal spirit or something. I don't know, but we didn't get creeped out from that time. And then, you know, same summer one night where, and I live by Curtlin Air Force Base in Albuquerque. So I'm right by the Air Force Base. So seeing different stuff in the sky is weird where I live. But one night, me and my girl were sleeping in the room and we're looking. We had, it was, you know, like springtime. So the weather was real nice.

We didn't have the air conditioner on, but we had the windows open with a screen shut and where the blinds were drawn open. And my girl's like, what is that? And there was like a, it looked like a diamond spinning in the sky. And it lasted like about, I don't know, 15 seconds to 30 seconds, this thing. you could see it. It wasn't a star, too. It looked like way closer than stars behind it. And it looked like it was rotating at such a high speed. And then it just vanished. So I saw that diamond in the sky. And then later that summer, and I think this one might have been

more like military technology because we do, it could have been UFO cloaking. I don't know. But we live by an Air Force base. So who knows what they, what kind of stuff they do there without telling us. But my girl was the first one to notice this, and it was later that summer, but she was outside at the time she and I smoked. We don't smoke anymore, but at the time she still smoked cigarettes, and she was outside smoking in the front yard. And she comes inside, and she tells me, come outside. She's all looked like, the sky looks weird. She's like, does this look right to you? And she's all look. She's like, a whole section of the sky is like shifting. And I was like, what are you talking about?

And she's like, look at those stars right there. So let me try to explain this the best way I can. But it looked like a segment, like a cluster. And in the city, you don't usually get a lot of stars. You know what I mean? You see a few, you know, but it's not like when you're out in the woods. But this night, there was a fairly decent amount of stars you could like pick out in the sky. And there was like a section, a cluster of them.

and it looked like they were moving counter, you know, to the way the other stars were positioned in the sky. And it looked like a group of stars were just shifting along the sky. But while we were looking at this thing, like we started to get like just the most intense, like, headache. It was so weird. Like, it was almost like you couldn't look at it. But I almost think like I've heard of like the military. having like technology where they can project whatever's behind them and you can't see them themselves like cloaking technology. I don't know if that's true. But it was almost like this

thing was projecting an image and there was something gliding across the sky. And I remember there was a couple that was walking a dog across the street. And I even like kind of whistled at them and got their attention. I asked them to look at it and they saw it too and they're like, oh my God, that's weird. Like, and they were like, yeah, that is weird. And then I just just remember that night, me and my wife come in the house. And we tried to both lay down and go to sleep. And I had the most, I've never got migraines before. You know, I've had really bad hangovers and stuff, but I've never had a migraine headache.

And, like, this had to be, like, a migraine. It was, like, pulverizing, like, I couldn't even sleep. It was so weird. It was just really odd. So those are a couple more, like, weird, like, UFO-type, you know, experiences that I've had. but this leads into like the most hands down intense paranormal experience that I've ever had. I mean, next to seeing the birth of my son, you know, or something like that, you know, this is like, but it's on a different kind of level.

It's just like, I don't know, life altering, eye opening, jaw dropping, scary, intense experience that I've ever had in my life. And thank God I wasn't by myself. I was with my wife and my best friend, Benji. So this is on his property. This is back in northern New Mexico because we traveled back and forth. And my, uh, my girls family has land up north to my, my father-in-law has a cattle ranch in northern New Mexico. And, uh, you know, he's got like 20 to 30 head of cattle and they have a little cabin.

And, you know, and that's on one side of the, of these mountains where a hermit's peak and Johnson's Mesa are. And then so on the other side of that is where my best friend's property is. This is where this experience happens on my friend Benji's property. And this is the one I was telling you about when we when we first talked that a man, this dude's place is becoming like Skinwalker Ranch. There's so much weird stuff going on out there, man. I wish you could talk to him.

He's more of a private person if I could get him to talk to you, man. I don't want to steal his thunder or his story, but he told me like he's even said he's seen giants. Giant's on his ranch Yeah Yeah Well So anyway Hold on

So we'll get I just Before I forget You need to talk to him And tell him Bro It's either you willingly talk to him Or I make you talk to him

Well he's a pretty cool guy He's just more private than me He's a different personality type And he's a little more But I could probably coerce him into something And I was telling you, man, I think, like, I would really tell you, like, if you want to get some stuff, like, on camera, man, this would be a great place to do it because activity is just ramping up. But this is the first time, like, well, I guess, I don't know, weird stuff has been happening to him out there. He's lived out there his whole life.

He's like a rancher boy to the core, you know what I mean? He breaks horses. He's a rancher. That's his life, you know what I mean? But he lives up there full time. And so, like, he tries not to let things get to him. But recently, I've noticed things are getting to him because he's told me. You know what I mean?

Like, and I don't know if it's a sign of the times and activities going up just because the state of the world we're in and demonic spirits have so much power right now. I don't know what it is. I don't know if there's something or a resource on his land. I don't know if there's like something that they're looking for. I don't know if there's, I don't know what it is. Or if it's a spiritual gateway, like a dementia. gateway, but something is going on in this land. So I'll just go into the story. So this is like

2016, late summer 2016. We go and we visit all the time when we go spend time at our ranch. We'll take a night or two and go spend at his ranch. And we just have fun. You know, hang out bonfires, you know, and stuff and sit outside and enjoy like the beautiful stargazing and the animals. And like, you know, we always sit around at night and just have good conversations. and drink beer and whiskey and whatever else we knew until the night fades on and we all go to sleep, you know. But this night was, we went and he took us to these people's property, this house. And it was like, they were like more like hippie type kids. I think they were from Colorado and their family owns land there.

And they had zip lines and they were playing banjos and guitars and we were hanging out with these people. And it got to be kind of late. And he goes, dude, let's go back to the ranch. He goes, they're running out of beer. and like he's like, I got some beers and half a bottle of Jameson in the fridge. And, you know, up there, it's like dirt roads, you know what? And you don't see anybody out there, especially late at night. And not to mention, he's lived out there his whole life.

So his truck, he can literally drive through the woods on pathways that he's carved from, like, you know, cutting trees or, you know, pathways he's carved through his property or dirt roads that he knows that, like, nobody knows exists out there. So we leave this property. It's nighttime. We leave this property. We're going back to his property. And he parks his truck. And he lives where his house is. It's like his house sits high on one side of a valley.

And then there's more mountains and kind of like a mesa top on the top of his property that's on inside of his property fence line. And up there, there's like a pond and like an area where we like would put tents and camp out. His ranch house is a little bit lower than that. out of the tree line, you know, and it starts to, where his ranch house is, it starts to go down into a valley, and then there's a creek, and then there's more grass, and then there's an old abandoned, like a Spanish-style adobe church on the outside of his property, and then the fence line,

and then this old adobe church, and it's pretty big, you know what I mean? So we come the back way through his property, and he parks his truck with the tail bed facing the valley. And he goes, well, he goes, I got to go inside. He had to use the bathroom. He's like, he's going to go grab the booze and shit and then come back. And he leaves me and my, me and Gabby, my wife, out there. And this night was like a full moon or close to a full moon. So once your eyes adjust at night, you could see pretty well with the moonlight. You know, like we didn't have to have flashlights to kind of see it. He has horses and cows and you could see the silhouettes of the animals in the field.

You know what I mean? Like there's shadows in the field down below in the valley from where we were sitting on his truck. And we're just sitting there, like enjoying, like looking at the sky and, you know, like filling the fresh summer air of the, you know, in the mountains and just enjoying it and smoking a cigarette. And I feel, I guess I'm looking in one direction and my girls look in the other direction. I feel a slap come across my chest.

And Gabby's all, look. And I look in the direction she's looking and out the trees from the other side of the valley, across from the dirt road, out of the tree line from where the mountains and hills start from the other side of the valley comes this fiery orb. I've seen these things before, you know, like I said earlier, but I've never seen one. I've seen them in the sky doing formations, but I've never seen just one. And so this light, this orb comes out of the tree line, comes into the field where the horses and cows are, and it starts floating and dancing above the head of the cattle and the horses. And we're sitting there watching this thing for like 30 or 45 seconds.

And she's freaking out. At this point, I'm freaking out too because I've never seen anything act like that. Sorry, my dogs are going crazy outside. Let me, are they being too noisy? Yeah, I mean, if you can, I don't know, Muslim or... I'm going to shut this. I'm going to shut this. I'm going to shut this door.

That's fine. I'm in my travel trailer and that way it's just not so noisy. So anyway, so this orb is floating around these. And it's what's weird is that the horses and the cows just don't seem to even care. Like, you would think they'd move or scatter or whatever. It was like they were almost like a blitz. It's like they were oblivious to this thing. So it lasts like 30, 40 seconds, and then it just floats back into the trees where it came from and disappears.

And me and my girl are outside and we're talking and we're like all pumped up about this thing that we just saw. And here comes Benji walking up the trail to where the truck is. And first I don't see him. I just hear his feet shuffling up the pathway. And then he gets close to us and he hears what we're talking about. And he's all, he's all, yeah, right, bro. you didn't see Jack bleep, you know what I mean? He's all, he's all, it was probably like, uh,

somebody walking down the road with a lantern. Maybe it was somebody on a motorcycle. Maybe it was this. Maybe he's like trying to debunk us, you know? And we're trying to explain to him like, Benji, we're not stupid. We know exactly what we saw. Like, this is how it moved. This is what it looked like.

And then it was weird. This is just where it totally just intensifies to the extreme. He goes. No, let me tell you. He's like, I got to admit. He goes, there's some weird stuff that happens up here. He goes, I just try not to pay too much attention to it because it'll screw with you. And then I'm not cheating you.

It's like you blink your eyes and then boom, dude, right in that field, right where like the open grass is and the animals were in the field, just all of a sudden and out of nowhere, dude. Just like it just all of a sudden appeared a giant UFO. I mean, huge, dude. this thing was like a three or four story tall building and it was like I know it's cliche but like it's like a football field you know what I mean at length

and it's kind of oval it wasn't flashing light it wasn't making any like audible noise but I you could feel like this hum almost like subsonic like I've heard like elephants can create sounds like the human ear can't hear

but I guess you could feel the energy the bass, like there was almost like a vibration, like all of a sudden that started happening. And it was like, you couldn't hear it, but you could feel it. And we are all turned around staring at this thing. And I don't know how much time passes. And we're just, we're all staring at this thing. And you can see it because it was like hovering around in a small circle. And you could totally make up the whole exterior of it. And you could see the moonlight hitting it. And the way I explain it, It almost looked like a really pristine lake at night when the water is really still and you see moonlight hit the water, how it like shimmers and shines.

That's how the exterior of this thing looked. And then it's, and it's hovering. And every time it moves, like it's blocking out whatever's behind it. So whatever clouds are behind it or whatever stars are behind it. And you could totally make it out. And I just got this really ominous feeling like, of sheer terror. It was like looking into like the face of the unknown. And I was thinking in my head and in my spirit, I was like, if this is what I think it is extraterrestrials, I was like, first off, we're nothing

compared to this thing because obviously like what can we do. Like even if we have guns at the ranch, you know what I mean? I wouldn't even attempt to pull out a gun and shoot at this thing. You know what I mean? And plus it caught us off guard. I didn't physically have a gun right next to me or on me at that point, you know um i wouldn't even i was we were all so scared just looking at this thing and i just got this feeling man like i felt so insignificant at that time like that point in time like i felt like a mouse and that was a cat and it could pounce on on us in any moment and there's nothing we could do about it just sheer terror like i was scared out of my wits thank god i wasn't by myself i probably would have passed out and got abducted that's how scary it was so you know being like all the

stuff that I'd been through in my life and, you know, being a spiritual man and being a follower of Jesus. And, you know, I pray to him as Yeshua and all the, you know, reading the book of Enoch and all the stuff. All I could think of to do was to start to pray, you know, because I always remember it. It says, you know, any time it says spiritual presence, you know, call out on the name of Jesus because you have power and dominion over those spirits, you know. And so the only thing I could think of to do was to start to pray. So out loud, I just start praying. and I start praying in Jesus in Yeshua's name. And I remember, like, in my prayer, because I had read the book of Enoch, I started calling out to God to release one of the archangels.

Because in the book of Enoch, if you've ever read the book of Enoch, it references Michael, Raphael, Samile, the, you know, Gabriel. And it talks about, like, you know, I called upon the angels protection in Jesus, you know. And I'm not saying it's me. I'm not that pompous to think, oh, my prayer, you know, like, no, but like when I called on his name, his name, Jesus name, like, and this is what even just confirms my faith even more now is, you know, seeing the power that his name has. But as I started to pray out loud, audibly, this thing, this UFO, this vessel in the sky goes, it breaks apart in the four separate smaller vessels, and then it starts flying towards the mountains behind it, and then it's like it just hits like a wormhole or something, and it just vanishes. And, like, we are all just sitting there.

I, like, we couldn't even think of words to say. I think we just, we stopped, we definitely stopped hanging out outside. We went inside. I think Benji's like, I'm going to sleep, dude. And then like me and like yeah, you went to the area in that house where we would usually sleep. And I don't think we caught a wink of sleep that whole night. So that was definitely like the most intense UFO encounter that I've ever had. And like I said, his, his, you know, girlfriend that he's with now and they recently had a new baby.

And his dad's real old school and he's in his late 80s. So he won't really talk about this stuff, you know, because he's like, the old school tough guy and like he doesn't he's real quiet he won't talk about it but i know he's had experiences too but you know benjie's called me and told me dude like there's lights following me you know from the turn at sap a oh all the way to my house he's like i'm seeing aerial formations uh there's purple orbs it's like so he had when he the night that he saw the giants he said that uh he was in the back section of his house that looks the where the truck was parked and the tree line starts to go up to that side of his property and he said

all these like thousands of purple light started manifesting in the trees. And he said the trees started moving like they had a mind of their own and the tops of the trees were bending in and touching each other. And he said through the pinkish purple light that was emanating through the forest, he said he saw silhouettes of giants walking around back there. And he said, he said, it's going to sound crazy, Raoul, but he said, they looked like they had antlers on their head. And I was like, what? And he's like, I'm not going to tell anybody. And now I'm telling the whole world. He's like, I'm not going to tell anybody. He's like, nobody will believe me.

And I was like, well, I believe you because I've seen something out there I couldn't explain. So I don't doubt you. And he was telling me, every time I pull out my phone, he's like, I try to capture it. He's like, it would shut off like a TV. And then he's like, as soon as I put my phone down, he's like it would start back up again, like some crazy symphony. And then he's like, then his girlfriend came and she was watching it with him. And he said this thing went on for hours.

And then he said these entities started to cross the fifth. and walked towards his house. And he said he was so terrified that he almost wanted to scream at them and tell him, if you're going to mess with me, just come get me. But he said he was so scared that even in his spirit, it wouldn't let him say those words out loud and that he couldn't say it. And then eventually, as he just stood his ground and watched it, these things superseded back into the trees and disappeared.

So there's like, and there's just, he's had cats, he's had dogs come back with perfect triangles, chunks missing out of their ear. You know, animals go missing. like, yeah, weird stuff, dude. And not to mention around that same area in Moran, New Mexico, a few years back was where

a whole herd of elk just dropped dead. Like a hundred elk all at one time just dropped dead. And the news reported that they had caught a parasite from some pond that they were drinking in. But like, you think about it, elk are migrating animals. And they do not, you know, they're not all going to simultaneously

drop dead in one spot, you know. And even if they did catch a parasite, the stronger ones, the older ones, you know what I mean? The ones that are sick or weak or young, you know, they might die off in one spot and then the herd's going to migrate somewhere else. And then the healthier ones will drop in different places. They're not just all going to simultaneously fall dead. And my buddy used to work for the National Forestry and I talked to a lot of people that worked up there and they all say foul. Like there's more to it than what they're leading on. But, you know, there's been weird phenomenon that's happened up there like that, you know what I mean? And to me, like, I almost think like it's UFO, UFO activity causing this stuff. And so that isn't the last,

I still got a couple more if you're with me, if you're still down here a little bit more. No, I'm still good. Go ahead. You're a great storyteller. You're just filling it in for us. This is easy. This is great for me. Oh, man. Yeah, no problem. Man. I'm happy to like share. You know, it's just like wild stuff. I sometimes think about it and I can't believe like I've experienced these things. I feel pretty lucky. You know, it's weird to say that, but I do. You know, and then so on, and this is in the same general area.

So like I said earlier, my, my girls' family, they have some ranchland in a similar area, but it's on the other side of those same mountains. But this would be like the Rocky Mountains in New Mexico. So it's the same Rocky Mountains that run up through, you know, Colorado and, This is in an area of like the Santa Fe National Forest, I think it is. And what's the other one? The Pecos Wilderness is back there. And I've heard like other people talk about like encountering Sasquatch in these areas.

Benji said he knows of two guys that hunt Sasquatch. And I told him, dude, introduce me to him because I'm interested in that stuff too. But like me and my girl in the summer of 2017, the year before my last, my youngest son was born. we were at her family's land on the other side and there's a lot of strange activity that's starting to happen on this side too and see my girl tells me that before all this weird stuff started happening recently she's like she's shocked at all this crazy stuff that started happening recently because she's like our parents and my cousins and me used to go out there you know for summers and we would sleep in sleeping bags underneath the stars with no tents and nothing and just

sleep out wide in the open, you know what I mean, next to the cabin and like our parents would leave us there and like we would just stay there like all night. And she's like, I never once like had anything spook me. You know, we'd always have just the time of our life with her cousins. And, you know, in 2017, her and I, I took my nieces from Kansas that had never, they were like from Wichita, Kansas and they never really been to the mountains. You know, so I wanted to give them that experience and all they did was cry the whole time about not having Wi-Fi or, you know, you know, they couldn't do their makeup and, oh, you expect me to use the bathroom behind a tree type thing. So I gave them a little cabin house and me and my girl and my other son, Johnny,

who at the time must have been like six or seven, six years, six years old, I think. and my little dog, my pug, we were sleeping outside in a tent. And the dog was asleep and my kid was asleep. And it was just me and my girl in the tent. And we had like a little lantern going. And I always do keep like a firearm on me, especially out in like the wild or the wilderness. And it's pretty, you know, remote out there. So I did have one pistol with me in the tent.

And I think it was a 38 special. you know, a little rubber grip short nose 38 that I had inside the tent with us just in case, you know? And we're laying there and then we start to hear coyotes. It started with coyotes, which is a very typical sound you hear up in that area. You know, yipping and yapping and yapping and it sounded like there was like multiple coyotes. And they were communicating with each other through this little valley area where her family's land is. And you can hear them get, get, get, yeah, those noises that they make when they get excited.

And then they were doing other little vocalizations, I guess you can call like a howl or whatever, you know, and totally just coyotes all day. I know what they sound like, you know. And then all of a sudden, the coyotes just go dead silent. It was like they were yipping and yapping and yapping and playing. And then out of nowhere, do they just zip nothing. And I know people always like when I listen to like stories about like Sasquot showing up, people always say that there's a dead silence. Well, that's what happens.

Like all of a sudden like the the locust or you know those things that buzz in the trees and like all the bugs and all the freaking crickets and not everything. It's like all of a sudden you couldn't hear anything. And like me and my girl are kind of there like we were enjoying listening to the coyotes. You know it's kind of cool, kind of pretty, kind of pretty. You know, I wasn't scared of them, you know. and then all of a sudden, man, from down the valley, like, it just comes echoing and bellowing through the canyon is this god-awful scream. And I mean, you couldn't, like, somebody with a microphone, like one of those metal screamers that's just screen notes in a microphone couldn't even carry their voice this long. This thing just, like, it went for like 10, 12 seconds, just full power.

Like it was like a scream and then it like went into like a hackling laugh and cry at the end and it almost had like a yippy howl at the end but it was like a scream at first you know but really powerful like and it just hit us dude boom that sound hit us and like like i froze my girl froze and then like often the distance like the people that have a ranch next to her i guess they had some horses corralled in like a like a metal. trailer, you could hear this horse that that was inside this metal trailer. It spooked this horse because you could hear this horse kicking a metal trailer, you know, like it was freaking out. And then all of a sudden, you know, like a few seconds later, boom, again. This just disgustingly disturbing, loud, howl, scream sound comes again. And my girl is like, she's so scared. Like she's like frozen in fear, dude.

Like she's white. She's not saying anything. And then she like tugs on me and she's all, why don't you go check on the kids? And I looked at her and I was like, screw you. I'm not going outside. Like, are you kidding me? And she's all, but you got to go check on the kids. You got to go check on the kids.

And I wish I had the wits, but it caught us so off guard. Like I did have a cell phone with me at that time. Like to backtrack like when we're at Benji's Ranch, like we don't get cell service up there. Everybody's like, why don't you film that thing going on? It's because, like, well, cell phones don't even work up there. Like, so we left it charging inside. This time I did have a cell phone with me because I was like listening to music on it. But I didn't have the frame of mind to pull it out and start hitting record.

Like, you know, but when she tells me to go check on the kids, I grab my phone and I turn on the flashlight on the phone and I grabbed the gun. And I'm walking the pathway using my phone and walking like tactical style with my gun pulled. and the phone is a flashlight, and I walk back to the little cabin, and the kids are inside blasting music, having a pillow fight, and it's my two older sons and my two nieces,

and they're just, like, having the time of their life, and I tell them, hey, did you guys hear that thing, like, screaming? And they're like, no, are you stupid, dad? And I was like, and they were laughing at me, telling me, like, I was tripping. And, like, I was like, you guys are, like, stupid if you couldn't hear that.

like I told them, you know? Like, how could you not hear that thing? But they had the, they had music going full blast. Like, there's 16-inch wolfers in there and they're, like, having a pillow fight. So they were so oblivious to this thing. And I walked back to the tent and I just remember being, like, so scared that night, like, just terrified because I've never heard anything like that. I've been in the mountains. I've lived in the mountains.

I know what a bear sounds like. I know what cougars sound like. I know what coyotes sound like. I know what elk beagle like. I know the snuffy, like breadth. sounds that deer make. Like this thing was otherworldly is the only way I could explain it. Didn't see anything, but definitely heard something wild.

And then so we tell her brother, her older brother, because her brother and her dad are the ones that take care of that property the most. They go and they tend to the cows and they, you know, they make sure like everything is going okay and they check on the property from time to time. And her brother used to go and stay at that cabin all the time. Like it was like his own little getaway, you know, and he would use it to like, you know, take take a woman out there, you know, for the night or, you know, do whatever he would do and hang out with it. He'd go out there by himself, you know what I mean. And there, he had like a DVD player and a stereo system and a, and like a futon and, you know, little fridge and everything in there. So, you know, he'd go up there and stay. And he would never talk about it, but all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he just stopped going there. And he refused to go there. And the only time he would go there, once it got dark was if there was if there was. It was. It was. It was. multiple people around, he wouldn't go up there by himself. He'd still go up there, but he wouldn't go up at night, and he wouldn't go by himself. And he's a big tough guy. I mean, he's like, I mean,

like six foot three, like 250 pounds. My girls, all the guys in my girls family are big dudes. And he's a, and he's one of them. And, and like, he didn't talk about it. He would, like, we told him what we heard. And he kind of like acknowledged it, but he like didn't really go into anything. And then just recently, like, he admitted he started telling us that he calls it the hauler. I don't know where he got that name from. I don't know why he came up with it. Maybe it's the sounds that he heard. But, you know, what he's describing to me is a Bigfoot, a Sasquatch. And he's had multiple encounters with this thing out there. And not to mention there's missing people from this area too, like very well experienced rancher type guys that have hunted their whole life

that went like tracking elk or deer and then just were never found no trace they still haven't found these guys they're just gone you know there's a couple missing people from this same area so there's weird stuff in this area too and but he's told me he saw um that he was sitting on the porch one night and that um he had the porch lights on and that across the small creek from where that goes down from where the cabin is on the other side, you know, where there's like hills and little mountains, like in the tree line. He said he saw the silhouette, you know, shadow of the biggest freaking, uh, beastly looking man on two legs, you know, and it was moving seamlessly through these trees. He said he, he had, did have a rifle with him on the front porch. He said

he turned on this thing and pointed a rifle at it. And, that this thing moved, like, it almost like vanished into the trees. And then next thing he knows, he said it was behind him, like on the other side. It was like rushed past him on the other side. So it had circumnavigated him and was now on the backside of him. And he said at that point, he was like, oh, hell, nah. And he went inside the cabin. And he said he's heard this thing.

he's he's you know vaguely seen this thing a few times but he claims a one night too that it was just running around just the cabin banging on the walls and he said that that's that he won't go out there anymore but he does what he said he wants to do a youtube documentary and try to hunt it down and talk to other people from out there and i told them hey man if you do that i want in and then uh so that crazy stuff and then this is kind of I like coming to, like, more recent times, the last few things that happened to me. You know, like this summer out in front of my house, I was sitting in the front yard because I pay attention to the skies, you know, religiously because of the experiences that I've had.

I'm always looking at the sky. You know, the other night, just this summer, I saw a shooting star. Like, it looked like a streaking shooting star and then all of a sudden it turned into a bird and just start flying across the sky. I saw that. I have a place where I go fishing and I stopped at the little bait store, talked to these people out there and they were showing me these reoccurring, spinning UFOs that keep appearing over there by Cochiti Lake on an Indian reservation.

And it happened for a week straight in the same spot, like over and over again. And they have video footage, pretty good video footage of this thing. And, oh, and then, So the scream and then that activity that we've heard at my girls' ranch isn't the only thing. In the summer of 2020, we went back, but this time we were in a, now I got a travel trailer, but at that time before I traded in and got this, we got this, we had a pop-up trailer. So it's a little more secure feeling than a tent, right? But still not the greatest feeling, you know what I mean?

Still not the most sturdy structure, but better than sleeping. and a tent. Well, we went out there with some friends of mine that I worked with that we had invited out there. And, you know, they ended up leaving early, which left us there by just me, my girl, and my youngest son now, because he was alive. My other kids were all gone. So it was just the three of us. And my pit bull, he was a puppy at the time, my newest pit bull. And we were, and I had a bunch of guns with me, too, because I had been shooting. You always go shooting out there. But I had left my guns in my truck, not with me. I had one gun with me inside of the popper. The other guns were inside of my truck. And we had this really weird night, you know, I got a creepy feeling

that whole night that something wasn't right. I kept feeling like something was watching us. You know, we've already had that weird scream happened to us out there. So in the back of our minds and the UFOs, you know, but like I plan on living a rural type lifestyle eventually. Like, I can't let these things stop me from living my life that I want to live. Like, you know what I mean? I saw Jesus move a UFO away from me. Like, I can't fear these things, you know. That's what I tell myself, you know.

I want to live out there eventually, you know. And, but, yeah, so we go into the pop-up. We were going to make it an early night because the night before we had been drinking with my friends. And this night we didn't want to drink. And we were going to get ready to pack up and come back to Albuquerque the next day. and we're there and we're in the pop-up trailer. And I'm trying to go to sleep and I'm kind of in between that state where you're conscious and asleep.

But I wasn't like in a full-blown sleep, but I was falling asleep, but not quite yeah. I could still hear everything that's going on. And I swear, I started hearing footsteps in the campsite, like real faint bipedal footsteps, I could hear them. And it just sounded like leaves crunching, you know, like dirt, shuffling, I guess you'd say, like leaves that have fallen on the ground and like, you know, little twigs or branches, you know, and I mean, just real soft, though. But it sounded like it was just all over the camp. And but I was like halfway asleep and I was telling myself like, and what's weird is we started to hear a whisper and it sounded like a woman whispering. And but I couldn't make what they were saying.

And I was like halfway asleep and then just like a sleep, like a paralysis. just came over me in this fear. I don't know why, but all of a sudden I was so terrified and I was trying to move my body. And my girl was laying next to me and I don't even know if she was asleep. And like all of a sudden,

like when you have an anxiety attack, I couldn't attach my breath because in the back of my head, I was still conscious and I was thinking, if somebody is in my camp, like I have a bunch of guns in my truck. And if somebody's invaded our camp, they could go in my truck

and like grab all my guns, shoot us, you know what I'm? mean like if these are like camp raiders or whatever or whatever it is you know like who the hell is out here like this is on fence private property like in the middle of nowhere like there shouldn't be bipedal footsteps and whispering in a camp but i could not get myself up and i start to have like an anxiety and i guess like i took like a deep breath and i finally caught my breath and i shot up out of the the side that we were laying on in the pop-up and my girl woke my girl up I was like, I can't breathe.

I can't breathe. And I was like, what's going on? And I was like, please grab the light. Turn the light on. Turn the light on. And she finally gets the light on. And she's like, she's like, were you hearing that too? And I was all, yeah.

And she's like, she's like, look outside. Look outside. So I grab my nine millimeter and I cock it and I get the light and I start looking like out the window. And I ain't got a lot. I was scared to look out the little window of the pop-up. And I kind of go around the pop-up and I couldn't find anything. And, yeah, just really weird, dude. Like, it was, like, really scary, like, the way it all played out that night, you know.

And I just, I couldn't sleep. I don't think I slept that night either. But, you know, I've heard, like, of, I know it sounds weird, but I've heard, like, of stories on, you know, West Ghermer's show, Sasquatch Chronicles, where I've heard other people say that, like, the whispering women and Sasquatch is kind of a thing too. Like they can make all these different vocalizations and or I don't know if it was a ghostly spirit or like, you know, like a brouha, which is a witch in Spanish or, you know, over here they too, they talk about the la yarona, of course, because it's a Spanish culture and there was water right there, but I don't think it's la yirona or anything like that. But there was something like creeping around our camp, you know, that night. And, yeah, it's really weird, you know.

That's pretty much, like, you know, leads up to, like, where we're at, you know, nowadays. And I just, I continue to keep my eyes open. And I continue to, like, be open-minded and research this stuff. And it's like, I want to encounter some of these things. Some of these things I don't, you know, and some of these things I'm scared to know what they truly were that we heard. Or, I don't know. But there's some really strange stuff going on in this area of northern Mexico. Wow, man, you got me intrigued. You got me intrigued for northern New Mexico, for sure. It needs to be put on my list of places I'd like to visit one day and do some fun investigations and get the hell scared out of me, you know? Like, you're talking about giants and Bigfoot UFOs and demons and witches being possessed on purpose just to help other...

Owls, yeah. It's just like... Like, what the freak? Dude, man, Raoul, this was awesome, man. Like, you really had a lot of stories to share, and you did a freaking awesome job. I really appreciate it. Oh, yeah, no problem. You know, like I said, it's just an honor to get to share these things. I really appreciate, you know, the work that you and, like, Wes are doing for,

because these are, you are the two podcasts that I listen to the most, you know. and I've got to talk to him before, you know, and I really appreciate the heck out of what you guys do. And I think, you know, it really is like therapeutic to like talk about these things and get them off. And, you know, get it out there for other people to hear who might have experienced similar things. And I know that there's, you know, people in New Mexico are going to listen to this and other places too, you know, because this stuff goes on all over the place. But, you know, it really is a hotbed over here, you know. I was telling you, like, they dropped the A bomb over here. You know, we got weird spiritual energy, Roswell, you know, all the native cultures and the

Skinwalker stuff, that's all huge here. You know, I've been hearing a lot more like Sasquot stuff from our northern mountains, even into the Sandias, you know, I've heard of like people encountering them up there. And not to mention like Doulesea and like, you know, the underground labs that we have here in Sandia, Los Alamos. And like, there is something, there's some kind of like spiritual energy that's going on here in New Mexico where I think it's just it's just ramping up and ramping up and ramping up and ramping up and it's my own personal opinion but I think that eventually this is just my feeling I think that everybody's going to come to know that this is all real one day you know I don't know if it's going to be a mass invasion or or what but you know if you read your

Bible and you talk about you know Christ coming down from the heavens in the chariot you know on the clouds, you know, and, you know, like some of the things that I've seen, you know what I mean, like Ezekiel and the wheel in the sky and Elijah and the chariot of planes. And it's like, you know, what were they, what were they talking about? You know what I mean? I think very well they're explaining this phenomenon, you know, from times past. And I think we're coming into a time with technology and everything else that's going on in our world and the spiritual energy and the direction of the world where I think, you know, I've warned people all the time like, hey, man, don't be surprised all you guys are going to see this stuff one day. And then you'll say,

ha-ha, Raul wasn't crazy. He told me about this years ago. Yeah, man. Yeah. So New Mexico is a state that, I don't know if you feel like this, but, I mean, from the outside looking in, I feel like that's a state that's not often talked about and maybe even forgotten. I mean, do you feel like that from the inside looking out? Well, you know, like, it's definitely we live below the poverty line compared to like, you know, we're next to Arizona, which is a really nice state, you know, and like they have fancy places over there. And, you know, we live next to Texas, and Texas has that whole bravado, Texas thing going on. And, you know, Colorado's pretty synonymously beautiful and has some nice places.

But New Mexico is kind of like, you know, the weird little spot in between it. I think it often gets forgotten about. But, you know, it is a very special place that's called the land of enchantment over here. We joke from people that live over here and we call it the land of entrapment. You go on vacation, you stay on probation. You know, but, you know, like, we have everything. Besides the beaches, you know, we have the plains, we have the deserts, we have the high desert, we have the mountains, we have thick forests, we have, you know, we have white sands.

We have, I mean, you can travel this state and you can see so many different, like, beautiful landscapes. And, yeah, a lot of stuff goes on here. There's a lot of really ancient, old, you know, Spanish history, old West history, Native American history. And the folklore goes back, you know, like, it's pretty, you know, besides some of the political stuff that's going on over here, like, you know, I never thought about leaving this place. I kind of in love with it. But, I don't know, recently I've also thought about moving. But it is a pretty, it's a pretty unique place.

That's awesome, man. Yeah, I was talking to you about it earlier before we started recording, and, you know, we're talking about possibly moving to Tennessee. And I just, there's, I've been falling in love with Tennessee and many, many reasons why. But, uh, for one, it just offers the lifestyle I want, man, more rural. Like, I'm so tired of so many people around me. I mean, I, the county I live in has a million people in it, you know? It's just like, it's just too many people. I, I need some. space to myself and I'm thinking about Tennessee, but New Mexico's a little far west for me, but shoot, if it was a little closer, I'd consider it. Oh, you know, and it's not overpopulated,

you know, like Albuquerque's got about 500 some thousand people now, maybe close to 600,000, but, you know, besides like Santa Fe and Taos are kind of like richy and synonymous with like, you know, like rich travelers who spend money, you know what I mean? Um, but other than that, you know, like, this state really is just like, like, a military basis in labs and, and, and, and then just, you know, most people out here probably below the poverty line. But it's, there's some really just strange places over here. But it is beautiful. And I like it because it's not overrun with people. But, you know, now with everything that's going on, everybody's leaving, like California.

these states and they're starting to come over here. And now Hollywood's over here too. And they started shooting a lot of movies over here and Netflix is here and Amazon Primes here and all these movie studios, which is actually kind of cool because I actually got to work with them. And that's currently what I've been doing. I'm in between jobs with that. But just finished up wrapping up this new show is coming out on Amazon Prime. I can't even mention it because I could get in trouble. Well, you can tell me about it after we end this. So, yeah. But no, man, I do appreciate you coming on and sharing your stories, man.

It's been really fun. No, man. I appreciate it. Thank you for having me. And, yeah, our talk before we even jumped on the interview was just awesome. So I appreciate that, too. Well, that's the show, everybody. I really hope you enjoyed it.
