The Cryptid Factor - 20: #020 The Technical Issue

Episode Date: September 19, 2016

In unprecedented regularity, Rhys, David, and Buttons have uploaded their second podcast in 2 weeks! Though this episode is spookily plagued with all manner of technical issues. Is there a ghost in the machine?? Is the government trying to block our broadcasts?? Or is buttons just having a tough time of it all... tune in and find out!

The Quitted Factor, with Rhys, Derby, and David Fadriar. Hello, and welcome to the latest edition of The Quitted Factor, with me, David. Me, Rhys, Derby. And hi, it's me, Bernardins as well. And today's a little different, because both David and I are together in LA. We're together now. That's big news. So things will be a little bit different.

We've moved in together. And I'm feeling good about it. I don't feel left out at all or anything. And we've left buttons behind. Yeah, no, it's cool, guys. It's actually all good. So you're in New Zealand, as usual, and you're running the system there. The recording devices and everything.

And yet most of the show is here in America. So the other two thirds of the production are here. So we do have a few technical difficulties just to describe what's going on. We've got our laptops out here on the coffee table. Oh, shit. You guys keep going. The phone that you're recording through is at 1%. So you guys keep talking.

I'm going to run and get the phone charger. Keep talking. Classic, isn't it? Classic. And I'm looking at a card here that says bullshit on it. Classic. So we'll talk about that in a minute. But we are sitting in the front lounge of my place.

David and I, we've got a coffee table. We've got a mic between us, the Yeti mic. We have headphones. We've got a, what do you call them? Earpods. Earpods. We've got one each. We're kind of sharing headphones.

And Leon is sort of recording back in New Zealand. But it's been about a 30 minute sort of setup time. And he's just discovered he's on 1% battery on the phone that he's recording through. Are you guys still going? Still going. We're at 1%. I'm going as quick as I can. Have you got the charger buttons?

I plugged in the charger. Here we go. That's correctly because it's coming through the mixer. Is that all right? Yeah, we've still got you. I got it. We're all here. And this is the premiere podcast about cryptozoology.

A topic that we've been studying really for all our lives. And collectively we've all come together to share our expertise and interest with you guys. And enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is a big one. Yeah. I'm very enthusiastic about it too.

Yeah, that's right. So we've been doing this show off and on since 2008, wasn't it? Yeah, about 2008. Yeah, it's been a while. We've taken some big major breaks. We haven't had any breaks. We've taken some.

We have had some breaks. We've had some TV interest. And that's why lately we have been off here trying to organize that. There's so many contractual obligations that have kept us from even broadcasting that it's, you know,

it's just been annoying. So now we've stepped back from that. We are back. We'd rather be actually doing the podcast than not doing it at all and just having an annual meeting about the possibility of it being on TV. We're back, baby.

Oh, yeah. And tell me, how have you guys been? You've been OK over there in Los Angeles? Is there like big film and TV and Hollywood things happening? You know, always, you know, here in LA, you know, there's always things happening

out there. The main thing that's happening, of course, is the heat. It's no surprise to anyone we've talked about this. You know, it's always good to kick off the show with the weather. It's how exciting we are. But we've both got shorts on.

I love how our show always starts with like the practical things like where we are, what the rooms like that we're in, the weather, outside. We can end it this way. I think we'll just go straight into the weekly WorldWare News.

That's a great idea. Oh, where'd you go? Hello. Hello. Hello, buttons. Hello. What happened there? I don't know, you're back. But what we were saying is, have you got any weekly WorldWare News to share?

Do you want to kick this off buttons, you enthusiastic man? Oh, no, we could. You guys dropped away completely there. So whatever happened just didn't happen. Well, nothing really happened. We realised we dropped away. We tried to get back home to you again. Yeah, we didn't just rave on.

This technology thing is really awesome. It's so good. Okay, so weekly WorldWare News, this is exciting. So tell me, have you guys got anything? Are you still there?

Yeah, but are you there? That's a cable problem. You sound like you're sort of tangled in cables at the moment. Really fumbling around. Is that better? What the fuck is going on? Yeah, we can hear you great.

Okay, that's great. What just happened just then? You guys I'm curious what happened. The cable came out of the phone which is going into the mixer, which is going into the zoom recorder and it was just going all crackly, so I just gave

it a little wiggle. But you're back now, hello? Noon. Okay, well look, we're here. We know where we are now. We know the temperature. We know the layout of the room. Let's crack into some weekly WorldWare News.

Okay, here you go. I'm going to just for the hell of it. You're going to play this thing. Weekly WorldWare News. Crazy, freaky. Watch out. Now look, I've got a sort of Loch Ness monster exciting, but I might say that actually for

the cryptid specific season. But what I want to start with, we talked a little bit about Stranger Things last week and I just found out this week there's a great article it's getting quite a bit of crazy feedback. Are we in sync

buttons? Yeah, we're in sync. We're all good. Maybe take this thing out. Oh great. Well look. What I found this week that I found pretty interesting, obviously we're all big fans of Stranger Things and there's a great article on Thrillist about how it's actually based on a real situation

in Montau, which is I understand north of New York, where in 1983 there were apparently secret experiments being carried out by the US military on children and these had to do with diving into

parallel dimensions. So I had no idea that the whole idea of Stranger Things, whose working title was Montau, where this originally happened and they changed the name to Stranger Things is essentially based on reality. So I'm not sure they went into the ups and down and all that kind of thing, but

they're experimenting on kids they were trying to get involved in time travel in other dimensions and now it is the basis for a whole popular crazy Netflix show. So it was called the Montau project and so that's worth digging into

if you're curious about that. Wow, so it's a military operation? Yeah, it was the US military was taking place at Camp Hero and also the Montau Air Force Station and rumors began to spin around this

around 1980 and there was this film, the Philadelphia experiment, that was based on some of this stuff and there's also a great book called the Montau project, Experiments and Time that was put out in 1982.

So there's a lot of various conspiracy theories about exactly what was happening then and what they're investigating, but it had to do with UFOs and psychic powers and abducted children, which is pretty terrifying. And let's not forget the

Montauk monster, do you remember that? No, that's what I was going to say, that's one of my favorite monsters Montauk monster. Yeah, this thing washed up it was sort of a hideous looking thing on the beach there. It had the beak, the weird and it kind of had an orbital ridge

of a raccoon skull. So I mean, what I would sort of learn from this is that Montauk, which is very close to Central New York, you can go for a drive if you're living in New York, you can drive out to Montauk It was also, I think Montauk was based, that's where the affair that TV show was based, it's like the cute little

lighthouse, cute little town, but also all this really crazy yeah, that's where you'd go to have the affair on that show, so it's like a cute little seaside village with all this terrifying stuff. I think we should go to Montauk. I think we should on the little holiday. It sounds like, you know, on the hit list

of cryptozoological locations. I was just so unaware of this and to call this whole Stranger Things came out and then as you say, the Montauk monster this horrible thing washed up on the beach, mysterious creature, big beak, was it a what was it? We don't know. And you know what, talking about Stranger Things

and how weird this all is and you know, the zeitgeist and the general paranormal weirdness that's been following me for years bringing it all back to my early days as a youngster, one of my best friends at school and intermediate, his surname was

Demontauk. I am not getting out of town. His name was Nicholas Demontauk. Yeah, so it was Andrew Gamble, me and Demontauk and we used to call him Monty.

We should take Mcmontauk with us. Yeah, I think and I know I still follow him on Facebook and he knows it or not. Do you follow the people on Facebook? You're friends, you're friends. And so if you're out there, if you're listening Nick or Monty,

it's because of you man, this whole thing has happened I think, you know, I think we need to find out what part you play, your name your heritage and perhaps we take Montauk to Montauk and then do a podcast from Montauk for sure.

I think it could be a real special feature of this year. We've got the podcast back online, it's back up there on the internet and I think that could be a really special addition. Absolutely, we do have other news which we will share before the end of this podcast about

upcoming podcast ideas which include, I think we mentioned it in last week's one about us going to the opening of the Cryptozoological Museum in Maine, Lauren Coleman's Museum which is having a big

reopening and a new location and we're hoping to be there I'm going to be there, regardless of you chaps, but hopefully do a podcast from there. So, you know, yes it's far away, but it's easier than what we're doing now.

This is going to be way easier. This is terrible. I'm You guys there? I can't hear you. You guys there? Hello?

Hello? It's a madness, hey! It did, you disappeared. You got a bit distorted and then you left. Alright, are you recording? Yep, still recording. So we're talking about Montau, we got to the end of that, hey? Yeah, so we're hoping to do

a podcast from Maine next month, but in the meantime more news near in the background. It's a dog. New Zealand.

There's a dog and there's also mice going on. There's actual mice running all around the table. I've got everything set up on the pool table at home and there's mice running around it, like pet mice not rancid mice and

the dog is outside. The dog's outside looking in at the mice and losing his shit. So I'm going to have to put the mice away now. We've got a really good visual image of you at the moment. Really good visual. Sitting on the pool table with mice running around. Well, I wouldn't

have it any other way. Now listen, there's a mysterious rotating island near Buena series. A rotating, how does a an entrance to an alien base is being suggested as a possible explanation for a mysterious rotating island

in swampy land near Buena series, Argentina. Given the name the I, the I is a circle of land the whole of the Piranha, Piranha? Not the fish Piranha,

but as pronounced Piranha River and if you enter the coordinates, now I'm going to give you the coordinates now. 34 degrees. What are we, what are we supposed to enter the mint to? What are we entering the mint to?

South? I'm entering the mint. I'm entering the mint to my calculator. Are you getting this down? 49 47 .4 West. Now once you So they're in my calculator

now what do I do? Turn the calculator upside down and what does that read? Montauk. I knew it. It's all connected. Going back to this Yeah, there's a great

video that we're going to put up the audio of and in fact we'll do that now. So what you're going to listen to right now is the audio explaining this bizarre scenario and it's called The Eye. This is the official

video you're listening to right now. Hi, I'm Sergiano Spiller producer and film director. I'm from Argentina at South America. About six months ago we were working on a pre-production of a horror film. Supposedly based on real stories about

UFOs, mysterious lights, extraterrestrial beings, ghostly creators and other paranormal stories. The stories are unrelated to each other but they share one thing in common that they all occur on a mysterious island.

We discover that it was an excellent setting to shoot the film and also that the surrounding matched those present in supernatural stories told by locals. When locating these references in the map, we discover something unexpected that left

the film project in the background. We call it The Eye. The Eye is a circle of land surrounded by a thin channel of water with an outside diameter of 130 yards. Both circles are

so perfect that it's hard to believe this is a natural formation. Using the time slider tool of Google Earth, we discover that the center circle moves and rotates on its own axis. You can check it by yourself

by entering this coordinate into Google Earth and sliding the historical iMashary control. The first available picture of this region is from July 2003 and The Eye was already there. What we don't know is

how long had The Eye been there? What caused this weird formation? Why does it move? How can it last for so long without deforming? How is it possible that having no water current, aquatic plants don't grow up and cover it

entirely? Any comments on The Eye? Buttons? What did you make of that amazing video you just saw? Well, you know what? I reckon that, yes, it could be an alien base. But also, you know, remember that life of Pie Movie?

And he went on to that island and stuff like that and the little meerkats. I think it's more something like that. I do remember that island. So what's some sort of natural explanation as opposed to an alien base? Well, possibly.

I'd love it to be an alien base, but why would the aliens want to go to that much effort to hide themselves when they can just go to the bottom of the ocean like they normally do or whatever they can hide however they want? Building an island? This island is a good

theory, but I mean, this one's rotating, you know? It's like this little island within the landscape. It's got a little moat around it and it's just rotating around. I mean, that can't be natural. It can't be. I think, you know, we don't know their agenda and who's to say

that they don't have bases everywhere and this is even a spin-off base after they've had an argument with the main base and one group have been told, get out, you're to leave the Bermuda Triangle area and so they've had to go, they've got a

separate force of aliens have taken off to a bonus series and they've situated and they're not as clued up as the main base guys and so they've made their own little base in a swamp. It's like that Python film. We built a castle in the

swamp. We built another castle right there in the swamp and it fell down as well. Then we built a third castle in the same swamp and it burnt down, fell apart and then fell into the swamp as well. This castle, this is

the castle. It's your son. But I don't want it. One day son this will all be yours. What, the curtains? Great film. Holy grail. Such a good film. So yeah, it's pretty weird

it's a pretty weird thing is what I think we're trying to get across and you know alien base or something else like, you know, you're lacking the sort of the root island and life of Pi you know, whatever it is, it's pretty it's pretty weird, I gotta say. What weird news has taken

your interest this week buttons? Have you got anything? Yes, I've actually got some news pre-prepared this time rather than researching two minutes beforehand which is quite good of me I thought. There's some really exciting news which is from the

15th century. I've got news from the 15th century. But this is really exciting because they're releasing copies of the world's most mysterious book. Oh. And so this book was written in the 15th century and

it's written in a language that no cryptographers have ever been able to solve. It's called the Voynick manuscript and people have dedicated their lives to it and some cryptographers have even gone

they say crazy in trying to figure out the code to work out what this book even means. The book is full of amazing diagrams, pictures and which even the pictures and diagrams make no sense at all. There's pictures

of plants and animals which don't exist. I'm gonna stop you there. I'm gonna stop you there buttons. Oh, here we go. Is it on Kindle? It is a Kindle book! It was the 15th century. It was the first ever Kindle book. You can't get this

on Kindle and this is the really exciting thing because they've had it for years and they've been very, very, very tightly guarded with copies of this book and there's only been the cryptographers

copies. Alright. I'm gonna give you a couple of quotes here. I'm gonna read directly. Bill Sherman from the Folger Shakespeare Library says that the Voynick manuscript has

led some of the smartest people down rabbit holes for centuries. He said, I think we need a little disclaimer from you before you sign up to look at the manuscript and he says, you can't blame us if you go crazy. So they're making

900 copies of this and they're sending it out to people. You can sign up if you want one of these manuscripts to be able to try and decipher. It's currently the manuscript is currently locked up in the Vault of Yale University's

Bernicki Rare Book and Manuscript Library and because of its age and its incredible rarity, very few people have actually been able to touch it. We're gonna make up 900 copies willy-nilly and kind of get them out there into the world. That's right. But

the interesting thing is that the people that have gone to actually see it, there's this one Spanish cryptographer and he said, going and touching the Voynick is a real experience. He says, the book has

an aura of mystery around it that when you see it for the first time, it fills you with an emotion that is hard to describe. Wow. Just touching it. Just giving it a little poke with your fingers. Just a little fingery poke. Yeah, I don't know. It sounds otherworldly.

Yeah. I mean, have you seen any images of what's in it? You know, these animals and plants that are drawn in there, you know, what do they look like? Can you describe what that was? Because I mean, there could just be some lunatic who's just, you know, had a, you know, written this thing down. It totally could be. It's kind of almost

like the language almost looks elvish or something like that. The plants in there are kind of like there's plants that look like kind of almost spidery kind of ferns that look quite freaky. There's stuff that looks like almost like some sort

of strange pottery. There's it's quite amazing. All the plants that they draw, they draw all the root system, you know, quite a lot of detail and there's lots of writing in and around each of the plants, obviously describing everything in some certain way. But you look at the

actual letters and it's quite undecipherable. It looks like sort of a mix between Arabic and English and you know, that's just as hard to describe. Wow. I mean, it sounds amazing. It really does. No, they're selling

900 copies at a steal of $9,000 a piece. Oh wow. I mean, it sounds like a bit of a scam, doesn't it? It's a top secret. Suddenly, you can have 9,000 copies of it. You know, they're thousands of dollars. I mean, it sounds about, you know, what, 2,000 copies?

900 for 2,000 each. 9,000 each. That's madness. I mean, I'm going to do it. Don't get me wrong. I'm getting the checkbook out now, but you know, you only live once. Once you pay the $9,000, they'll see your effects

of the copy. Yeah. And you'll be able to sell it. It's one piece of paper, isn't it? Drawn by some teenage lunatic. Well, they, well, this is the interesting thing. So they say for centuries, it was

believed to have been written by 13th century English Francisian friar. Francisian friar. But which were basically wizards of the day, whatever Francisian friar was

they were wizards. And his name, this Francisian friar or wizard, his name was Roger Bacon. 13th century. I don't know about this.

Okay. But he was I've heard of this book. I've heard of what you're saying. Have you? Because I'm well read. Are you? I've heard of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they they spoke about it on ancient

aliens. Yeah, well, that's the other thing is they some suspect the work have been penned by either a young Leonardo da Vinci or even aliens. So you're going to pick between two. It's obviously going to be young Leo or aliens. Yeah, or

are they one and the same or at least definitely working together. So all right, well, that's fascinating. For those of you that didn't know about that that's out there. Have you got to spend nine grand? Definitely worth putting into, I think any Kevin Bacon fans

out there is probably six degrees of separation before you get to the aliens. Oh, my God. But I'm putting all my money on Montauk. No, thanks, buttons. That was great. So we've had Montauk. We've had a bit of an insight

into this sort of strange book. What have you come across this week? Oh, yes. Well, I'd like to expand now into the field of cryptozoology. If you could chuck us the sting we will now do the

crypto buzzer. Attention all personnel, it's time for this week's cryptid. Oh, I love that sting. It's one of my favorites. Now, this has sort of happened before but it's happening again. We're a company

that is, that loves looking for Bigfoot, is trying to raise money to basically give a big prize away. So they're basically well, it's a bit complicated. I read the article. The Bigfoot project investment has filed for a public

offering of stock on Tuesday, offering 20 million shares at 75 cents a share. The company specializes in finding and documenting proof of the creature known as Bigfoot. The main reason I like this article is because it is called Bigfoot Project Investments Inc.

And what better place really to put your money. The company has been attempting to raise enough money since the beginning of the year, previously offering 30 million shares to raise 3 million. According to the filing over 208 million shares owned by

116 shareholders are outstanding but no shares have ever been traded. So I'm not really quite sure what they're trying to do but it's not going well. Is this a scam? A company searching for Bigfoot trying to raise

50 million dollars, it does seem slightly dicey. What do they do with the money though? They need a prospectus. We need to see a prospectus of how they're going to spend the money. What are they going to do with it? The thing is

this is according to Business Insider. The company's portioned investors that a number of risks are involved including the company's auditors who have issued a warning that the company may fold at any time the company's burning through cash an annual rate of

between 50,000 and 500,000 dollars and because there's no current market for the stock so I don't know what the hell is going on. Is there any word on what's happening with the Air Balloon project?

Remember that one? I do. I thought that had some credibility because it was going to be silent. We could be up above looking down and

that brings me to my story because I think a lot of photography, especially these days with the drone systems, you're picking out things that you wouldn't have seen before from Birds Eye View, which of course if you're familiar

with birds, they've been saying it's all their lives. But we for the first time are now up above looking down and I have an eye witness hear a video which you can

search for yourself. It's called Strange Creature Caught on Eagle Cam Bigfoot, question mark. I'm going to play it for you now and you may be able to hear this coming through Leon.

What do I search? It's a strange creature caught on Eagle Cam Bigfoot. I tell you what, once you've searched it, we'll push play together. OK, great idea. We'll do this across from the two different great nations.

That's good. So you go to oldyoutube.com there buttons and type in Strange Creature Caught on Eagle Cam Bigfoot, question mark. Hey, guess what? This could be an interactive thing and people at home could be doing the same thing. Let's all do it at home.

Let's all do it at the same time. So everybody open your Google. Yep. OK, go to youtube.com that should have loaded it by now and then you type in the search bar. It's going exactly as we say. It's exciting, isn't it?

We'll do this together. This is a new feature in the show. We might do this each week where we can all interact together at the same time. So you've got it. You've found Strange Creature caught on Eagle Cam Bigfoot, question mark.

Should we wait for everybody to reply? No, let me hit a few buttons. I'm just asking you buttons. I thought you were asking the world. Oh, and the world. I'm assuming they're much quicker than you. They've probably been waiting for the last five minutes.

Oh, here we go. I've got it. Here we go. ApexTV. OK, so tell us when you're ready and we'll push play. OK, get everybody else in the world ready too, though. Everybody would count from three. The old world ready and three, two, one,

play. Oh. Look at that. So you can see... What are you seeing, Buns? Describe what you're seeing. Hang on. I'm seeing... Oh, this video is taken by an Eagle. Yeah, don't worry about that. Look at the two...

There's two birds in a nest, but already you can go up to the top right-hand corner. Yeah, I can see that. You can see a black figure. Yeah. Look at that. Now, if that's not Bigfoot, I'm not Rhys Darby.

No, you're definitely Rhys Darby. Oh, my God. Yeah, I can see it coming back into shot. That's amazing. Again, it's still there. You can see it. Obviously, there's some tree. Oh, it's jumped over a log. Yeah.

Quite a big pace there. No, come on. Come on, that's got to be... No, that's crazy. Now, if this is a hoax, what an elaborate idea to set a camera up. That's amazing. That far up.

A bear standing on two legs is what people say. No, come on, that is not a bear. A bear doesn't hop over a log with one hand on the log and the other two feet jumping at the same time. That just doesn't happen. That is as homidid

as I've ever seen. You know what? I'd say this is probably, if it's legit, it'd be interesting to see who actually captured this footage, if it was a university or if it was, you know, some kind of... Yeah, exactly. Some sort of research

just to get to the true thing, get to the end of the chat to them. That's something we can do on a future podcast when we line out some interviews and we get our butts into gear. This says here on the information, this video of an unknown figure has been gaining attention lately.

I thought I would take a little time and see if I could enhance it and see if we can tell what it is or isn't. The video is mostly known as the Eagle Cam video. So yeah, check that out. I'm sure most of you

just did. What are your thoughts? What a thrill. Go to our Facebook page, The Cryptid Factor, let us know what you think of the old Eagle Bigfoot Cam. It did look like perhaps his legs were quite thick. It could have been

looked at to me a bit like the Cookie Monster, sort of a black version of the Cookie Monster. Didn't it? It did, I agree. The jury's out. The jury is

probably still in. I like the experience of watching it together. It's a really interactive thing with us and you, the audience. Yeah, that was fun. That was great. Okay, next up, we've got a massive snakeskin

which supports wessie rumours. So yeah, a huge snakeskin measuring 12 feet in length has been found near a riverbank park in the US state of

Maine. That's exciting. It's been linked to reports of a particularly large snake in that area which has been nicknamed wessie. And this particular snake

has been sighted several times. They're not sure whether the skin belongs to this wessie, but it's obviously a legendary beast in the area. But the skin is gigantic. So

according to cryptozoologist Bill Cook, the snakeskin he believes may be a bit suspect. And he says, that thing was laid out in a way that kind of suggests that someone just literally laid it there.

Okay. That's great. That's a quote from him. He goes, I'm pretty sure that that's how the snakeskin got there. But I do think wessie is real. So obviously he's a cryptozoologist. So he's

fully believing that there is a giant snake. But he thinks that this particular snakeskin was laid out. Now how he came to the conclusion that it's just laid out there, which obviously it would be even if the snakeskin was a snakeskin that was you know,

what do you call it when they lose it? Shed, well done. If it was naturally shed from the actual snake, would it not be laid out there? Do they shed their skin and then hang them up on a branch? Or roll it up nicely and shove it

under a rock? I don't think they do. I don't think they do, Bill Brock. I think they just laid them out and they just disappear from them. And so it is laid out there the length of an actual snake, which is what's happened. So that's

my 10 cents worth. How rude not to fold up your dirty old skin and put it away. Cheap. Here's a message to snakes out. I know we've got a few snakes listening.

When you shed your skin, please don't just lay it out there like that because people are going to think a human's done that. Get your snakeskin, roll it up nicely and tuck it away. Or do something with it. You know, you could build a tent

with that or give it to a friend, give it to a homeless snake who needs another skin because he might be cold in the winter. So, or fashion a pair of boots out of them and sell them at a market. Yeah, now you're talking. Make some money out of your snakeskin, guys. Don't just

leave it move on. Someone else is going to pick it up and the next thing he knows is a handbag or boots or leather or car seat. Could be a car seat. What's in a car? What's in a car has

snakeskin's car seats? That would be amazing. A bloody cool one. So, as you can see, it's been quite an active week in the world of sort of cryptid news. There's been a lot going on. Anything at your end buttons? What's been going on in your world?

Certainly do. I've actually got an eye witness account. So, I'm going to play that. We're racing through all the stings today. It's really exciting. Oh, what have you got there? I've got another eye witness account. Account. Buttons. What have you got?

Humanoid Humanoid. Humanoid. Thank you. Humanoid Creature Spotted in Tennessee. We've got it. I've got to come over there. We've got to go to some of these places where the states is such an amazing place.

I love the states for all of its cryptids and its cryptid sightings. It's incredible. Check this out. This place is called Jasper, Tennessee. Multiple people in this area claim to have seen an unknown four-legged creature.

Wait for it. Wait for it. Pause for effect. With a human-like face. Oh, no. How good is that? All right. No, no, no. Wait there. It goes on.

Brady, I'm sorry, but it was omitted for privacy reasons, said he was walking with three other people just behind their property in Marion County when they spotted the creature

on the night of July the 31st, so only a month ago, so this is fresh. We were on the trail in a wooded area close to a field, the eye witness creature is a short

but fairly large and wide animal with a hairy body and a human-like face and coming towards them. Its face was round and had a little hair on it, she said. Oh, Brady's a girl. It matches the

just one little here. One little little here. Just one little here. It was like a little baby like a cartoon baby. It matches the description from the cave

sightings, said Brady. What cave sightings? There was not photographic evidence provided by the eye witness, which is a shame. The sighting allegedly lasted about 10 seconds and Brady did not specify what the creature, reportedly

walking towards them, did next. Right, where are you reading about this one? This is cryptozoologynews.com I've never heard of this creature before. It does sound fascinating. They've done a little bit of research

into it. In 2015, a four foot long four-legged creature with a hairless human face that looked like a miniature of Bigfoot was reportedly seen by a woman in a cave of Hamblin County, Tennessee.

So that's the cave one. So obviously this is second sighting within a year. She also claimed that inside the cave she found what appeared to be a 16th century document written an old Germanic by Italian explorer

Amirigo Vespucci. Oh, wow. This is getting weird. Markham, who says he has been investigating the paranormal for over 20 years, also featured two YouTube videos with a follow-up investigation containing more images of the

certain cave and the allegedly found document. Wow. He believes the new sighting could add new information to the possibility of the reappearance of the extinct giant ground sloth. I don't know about that.

The giant ground sloth. A sloth's face doesn't really look like a human face. Well, there's a little bit it does. It definitely has got one of the most odd faces ever, the sloth. The question is, we all know

the sloth is really lazy, so what's the sloth doing with a 16th century document written an old Germanic? That's not slothish, is it? That is a bit of a puzzle. What is that about? It's got to be aliens again, surely. I mean, as with all these stories,

there's a lot of details left out. You know, what this is doing in the cave, you know, where this document is. A lot of questions, a lot of questions. You can savage by dogs there, buttons. Now, I've just looked up. I've got an image here of a four-legged creature

with a human head made from terracotta, from Kosovo, from the Neolithic period, which is the fifth millennia BC. You've got to wonder.

Yeah, these things possibly have been around since the beginning of time, to the point where people have made terracotta sculptures out of them. So, I mean, yes, this could perhaps be a sloth, but it doesn't look

like one to me. You've got little eyelashes even on the eyes, don't you? Yeah, although sloths do have eyelashes. Good point. The interesting part around the cave, I mean, in Tennessee, it seems like there's a lot of caves with a lot of weird stuff happening because they say

here that there is other reports. So, in a year previous to that, a Bigfoot explorer or a hunter said that he had an encounter with a Bigfoot in Tennessee in a cave.

I've actually got an audio excerpt here of him. Do you want to hear some of that? Yeah. What's happening at your end? I just heard a big screen. I know, that was just the neighbors. What kind of a

neighborhood do you live in? It's a rough neighborhood. Sounds like. Well, I've been camping out near the Harryman cave system just on the outskirts of Klingman Stone. The system isn't very well known, and unless you've been there before, I doubt you'd find it for yourself.

But I was lucky enough to have gone to school with a local man named Bill. He was kind enough to take me on a hike and show me the entrances to some of the caves. Apparently, these caves were well known with the Indians as having large, hairy people living

in them, and for the most part, the locals just left them alone as they aren't very safe. Bill told the story of a local boy that had gone missing, and when they found him near one of the cave openings, it looked like the child had been dragged there. Well, the next

morning, Bill packed up and headed back to the car, and I decided, well, no time like the present to start checking out these caves. So I left the note at base camp with my destination expected return time, and strapped on my GPS locator geared up for the caves. The first opening was

easy descent. Just a meter or so dropped down onto the floor with footholds to get out, so I dropped in my gear and took the plunge. Right away, I noticed this, unlike any cave I had been in before, as it seemed almost like an animal den. It smelled a wild beast, and there

were bones laying about. Nothing seemed to be recent. In fact, they seemed to be pretty old, so I continued on. Bill had told me that this entrance actually had another opening about a half mile through the hillside, so I went ahead and strapped on my torches, turned on

the helmet, light, and cam, and started off for the other side. Just as I had gotten to the bottom of the cave is when I hit the water. It's a little trickle running along the ridge line, not unexpected at all, but I noticed that the light behind me kind of went dark for a moment as if something had blocked the opening to the cave,

but kind of passed quickly. The trek was kind of tough going as there wasn't any path, just random rocks in space. I got up to the face of the cave and noticed, well, I had gone the completely wrong direction as the exit was well up the other side of the wall, but it was easy enough

to get to. As I approached the exit, I started to get that weird animal smell again. Boy, it got stronger the closer I got to that exit. Now, they were boulders piled up to make it an easy climb in and out, and, well, they'd been there for quite some time,

so I figured it had to be safe enough. Well, I took off my pack and I heaved it up onto the ledge above, and began to make my climb up that boulder pile. Well, that's when I first noticed the noises. It sounded like somebody was playing with my pack and hooting.

I quickly made my way up to the top, and that's when my light hit the opening, and what I saw next just changed the stories into complete reality. About ten feet in front of me, the cave entrance stood a creature of legend. A big, hairy, big foot.

Now what the terms need to be used? It stood there, staring into my now broken open pack, quickly grasping at things and tossing them to the side, until my light finally caught its attention, that is. I was shaking so uncontrollably, and the light on my helmet was shaking in this thing's eyes.

Well, I suppose it had had enough of that, and it dropped my pack, and it scampered on all fours as it jumped up the ten foot exit out of the cave and crashed out into the woods. Well, I quickly gathered up my thrown-about things and made my way up that gap, and I could tell you

it wasn't so easy for me. After five minutes or so, I finally managed to get up there, praying the whole time that that big foot didn't come back. Well, I quickly made my way back to camp, and it was only about noon, but that didn't matter. I decided I had had enough close encounters

with that thing that it can have whatever it wanted, so I went ahead and packed up my crap, and I tore the hell out of there towards the car. I could swear the entire time I packed my stuff, that big foot was watching me. I could hear grunts and late knocks coming from behind my camp. It even seemed to follow me

just out of sight and peek from behind trees when I was all but running towards my car. I tossed my stuff into the back seat, and let's just say I left the area at a good rate of speed. Wow, so what do you make of that? Well, I mean, it's great. It's

he's come across a big foot. Here's what I think. It's a great story, almost too good, and particularly the way it was read. I think listening to that voice he sounds to me like a professional storyteller. Very soothing

and possibly an actor who's reading something. You know, I could be wrong, but it felt like to me one of those children's books that you read along with. To the point where he goes, okay,

you'll notice time to turn the page when you hear a big foot growl like this. Oh. Okay. That's what it reminds me of. Perfect. He told that story a number of times.

There's a market for that book. We should actually make one of those audio books. That would be bloody amazing. I think we should. The Crypton Factor audio book. With a 45, you know, one of those little records that slip into the sleeve in the back,

a little 45 LP. I love it because, you know, everyone's got record players again now, so it would work. So if the Crypton Factor TV show doesn't happen, we'll start the Crypton Factor records. Yeah, the records.

We'll go completely the other way. I thought you guys were going to be on national television. No, we've decided just to put out small records now. It's keeping it a little bit more low-key. Yeah, a little bit cooler. We shot the stars too soon. So we've pulled ourselves back

to the 1960s. Anyway, look, today has been a technological nightmare, but I think we just got through it. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all comes together in the edit. Yeah, good luck with that buttons.

You get in there after this and you edit things together. You stitch words and sentences together and go, you really do a great job buttons. So look. Another episode in. We're back. The Crypton Factor is back. We're losing you buttons.

We're losing you. Damn it. You can hear me? Hello. Testing, one, two. You can't hear me? No. Talk? Talk, hello, hello, hello. If you can hear me, I'll just button with something interesting here.

Once again, it's the theme of this show. Here it is. I don't know whether you're recording this or not, but a lot of the we've been talking about Montauk a lot and I'm just going to dial him

now. Hello. I thought we'd just wrap the show up on the phone call because we didn't really we've got everything we need. You're dropping out too much. No, this is

so fucked. No, we didn't. So can you just wrap up over the phone and then we can hear. Yeah, I can hear you. Okay, so this is this is David and Reese wrapping up

the show. It's been like I say, a technological nightmare. The theme running through is definitely Montauk. In the end Montauk got us. It's Mono Talk.

Mono Talk, Montauk. The Mono problem broke us down. But we won't give up the fight. We know they're trying to stop us. It's the government. It's always has been that they're separating

our devices. We'll never we'll never take us down. We will never stop encouraging the bullshit that we believe in. Yeah, that's a round of applause. Yes.

We're coming to you Montauk and we're going to Pre-Talk with us and we're going to find the truth. We'll never give up. This is Reese Garvey signing off and good night. Bye bye. And this is this has been amazing.

Love you guys. Love you man. Bye. Love you.
