This Paranormal Life - #138 The Crystal City Underneath Mount Shasta

Episode Date: November 13, 2019

Mount Shasta CA, has long been a site of spiritual significance to the people that have lived in it’s shadow. For more than 10,000 years they have told paranormal and mythical legends about the mountain. But what if instead of ancient gods, they were actually describing an ancient, and mysterious advanced civilisation?Support us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunityIntro music by www.purple-planet.com Hosted on Acast.

What are the best ways to protect your home from demons? What if the first man on the moon had been a werewolf? Answers to these questions and more on this episode of This Paranormal Life! Yo! Hey! Welcome back to This Paranormal Life, the only comedy podcast where Kit and Rory host it every week. Two paranormal investigators at the top of their game. And at the end of the line, nothing left to lose.

On death row, frankly. Every week we discuss a different tail case or claim and get to the bottom of whether it's truly paranormal or not. Rory, how are you doing today? I'm doing fantastic. You know, every week we sit down here at these mics and dive into the world of the unknown. Eyes closed, fists dive into the world of the unknown uh eyes closed fists swinging

into the darkness and i'm just so excited to be well frankly alive for another week be able to do this show again is there some reason you didn't think you'd be alive this week we'll see last week when i closed my eyes fist started swinging i punched a cop right off the bat yeah were you were you sleeping no i was in the precinct i was wide awake actually it was just a freak accident it could have been anyone it could have been someone paranormal it could have been a criminal just happened to be a cop but you're right roy it's time to dive right in fifth swing and today's story comes courtesy of matt kreisenbeck thank you so much for writing in matt i appreciate this one because matt didn't just come across this online and find it interesting and email it in to this paranormal life podcast at gmail.com.

He's actually from the location we are traveling to today. Wow. Via the medium of podcast. That location is Mount Shasta in California. Sounds pretty paranormal. Yeah, it does. This place is about as north as it gets in California. And it's not just

a city but of course a giant mountain a quote potentially active volcano in fact okay which i like the description of because you could probably just call it active to be on the safe side because it's kind of like saying are you an active serial killer or a potentially active serial killer? Yeah. You only have to be active once before you're permanently active. Yeah. As long as that volcano has erupted once in the history of Earth, I ain't taking a nap on it. I mean, if I broke into a farm and strangled several goats, I'm not a partially active goat strangler. I'm a monster. They they're not gonna let me adopt any more goats and it's not like it's not like as in the case with rory the goat strangler which

yeah actually has a few hints of reality in it to say the least i don't like when you were incarcerated for that and you serve time and even then you're considered a strangler the volcano can't even be incarcerated it doesn't serve time it doesn't go in front of a goddamn parole officer and say it's i swear doc i'm never gonna do it again i'm changed but this is besides the point what we're interested in is the paranormal and there is definitely no shortage here. The mountain itself is considered one of the oldest known settlements in the United States. There is evidence of Native Americans living on the land here for over 10,000 years. And in that time, they recorded their own paranormal legends. In the 1870s, Joaquin Miller took it upon himself to document these legends, specifically those of

the Klamath people. They believed that the mountain is inhabited by the spirit chief Skel, who came down from heaven to the top of the mountain where he fought with the spirit of the underworld, Lao. Wow. They fought by throwing hot rocks and lava, which of course is the lava and rocks that rained on during the last eruption. This sounds, this sounds epic. I kind of love that. It's so amazing when like ancient peoples like that have written that into their mythology because they don't have any other data to go on. Like, you know, if this thing erupts every thousand years, any other data to go on like you know if this thing erupts every thousand years how does anyone in any other time than the eruption know that it's an active volcano you know yeah yeah so it's like that was their technology that was their way of knowing that hey stay the f**k away from that

volcano because occasionally scale comes down and gets in a grumpy mood and kills everything in a hundred mile radius i do love the the idea of like early on in the civilization you know someone's like all right just seems like another day then the volcano's bubbling up burst and they're like holy what did you what did any one of us do what is he mad at does he not like when we eat cheese with that knife what's a sin you know there's no rules there's no ten commandments so anytime that volcano goes off whatever was happening is going to be outlawed i mean up to that point the concept of a sin didn't even exist so they were like something someone did was bad and yeah we could do a podcast based

on just that legend alone but there is an even more recent paranormal tale from this area that I want to talk about. So let's go back to 1904 and, similarly to our recent episode on Mount St. Helens and the Ape Men, the west coast of America is home to many gold men, oil men, and just about anyone who was trying to make a buck in the New World. This included a British gold prospector called jc brown who had explored all over the northwest searching for gold he had been hired by cadre mining company from england to mine on their behalf but he had never gotten lucky like so many around him and so many he had heard of finding enough to keep going but never enough to get rich off of i guess

mining for gold is a little bit like going to Vegas and putting it all down on black. You're rolling the dice. Rolling the dice, you know. You kind of hear about people who got lucky, but there's no guarantee. So I always imagine it's a pretty hard life for these folks. Yeah, it must be. At least it seemed that way from The Ballad of Busker Scruggs. Did you see that one?

No. It's The Ballad of Busker Scruggs. Did you see that one? No. It's The Ballad of Busker Scruggs. Are you making this up as we speak? This sounds like something that an old-timey prospector would say around the campfire. Who's Buster Scruggs? Well, Buster Scruggs, that takes me back to the day. Are you stealing my wallet? He's got his hand on your trousers.

Yeah, it's not that crazy. It's a Netflix. It's the last Coen Brothers movie. Oh. yeah it's not that crazy it's a netflix it's the uh last coen brothers movie oh but it's very very good it's like i think it's like four or five short stories all based in the wild west but one of them is about a gold prospector and he's like panning a river for gold but like no spoilers but it seems very cruel but basically as soon as he finds something in the river he gets shot from like really far away. I think I'm remembering it correctly,

which is kind of like a dickling Fortnite move or something that like as soon as someone gets a dope gun, you just snipe them and take their shit, which probably happened back in the day. If you did get lucky, people probably were trying to game you out of it. So on the tip of a recent discovery, JC Braun made his way to Mount Shasta, California lucky people probably were trying to game you out of it so on the tip of a recent discovery jc brown made his way to manchester california to try his luck on the sacred volcano itself because i don't

know shit about gold prospecting but i would imagine that if you're going to search anywhere for gold you might as well start at a volcano this is a dangerous job all right guys mining for gold as you said at any point your whole team of miners is ready to turn on you yeah if i was in a river and i found even like the tiniest little nugget of gold yeah even if it's not gold even if it's just a shiny rock i'm pulling out two dirty harry revolvers blasting my right hand man blasting my left hand red dead redemption slow-mo style taking out everyone taking their heads there was like a passing family in a wagon going by no witnesses you're just fast unloading that six shooter now i'm realizing as i look down

that uh the gold was actually my own reflection in the water there were no fortunes now i have no men to mine pretty sad reflection also you weren't looking too good yeah it turns out i actually saw my own gold tooth reflection of the water below which is worth a pretty penny by the way it's a giant gold buck tooth but yeah you just you got to be prepared for anything even if that means climbing up an active volcano it's so true one giant gold buck tooth. Why are you mining? Why are you mining? Why did the dentist give you a fake buck tooth? You could have got replaced with a good tooth. More than one tooth for Christ's sake. So J.C. Brown head to Mount Shasta looking for treasure and he would strike gold but he would also get more than he bargained for.

He stumbled across a cave that reached down into the volcano. Normally, common sense would dictate that you would not walk into a volcano. Right. But desperate for a discovery, he hiked deeper and deeper inside. He went on to recount that at 11 miles down, which is very, very, very far, by the way. Yeah. He discovered an underground city full of gold, shields, and mummies. Quote, some of which were 10 foot tall. Mummies? Mummies.

Oh my god. Obviously, the repercussions of this were astonishing. Does the city belong to humans or some unknown race? What gold and treasures can we loot? How did no one know about this until now? Obviously, I mean, if you were going to take out your friends and family over a reflection of your own gold tooth, what do you think kind of secretive rampage he was going on after seeing this? You gotta take yourself out

to stop the pure rampage that's gonna happen if you get away with that gold. He sprints out of this cave, all 11 miles of it. And, no, surprisingly he told just about everyone he could about what he found. And, granted, he probably sounded

insane. But as word got out of his discovery, more and more people were signing up to go check it out, saying they wanted to see it for themselves and, let's face it, raid it for all it's worth. Oh, yeah. Absolutely take those mummy's gold teeth. So, on one account, I think he wrangled something like 80 people all to agree to meet at a given day.

And they would all head on the cave and to the underground city. But mysteriously, on the day the team was set to head out to Mount Shasta, J.C. Brown disappeared for good. Whoa. So they had no idea where the underground El Dorado was located? Nah. God damn it. I will concede that this story has all the hallmarks of a textbook scam. Unquestioningly, it does.

It's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to say that he was charging people five bucks each for the location. Cool, meet me tomorrow down by the well and we'll all head there together and get rich. Lo and behold, he's never seen again that's scam behavior but i don't actually have record of whether he scammed anyone it could be that this thing is real and he just decided it why would i show anyone where this thing is that's a good point take it for myself i didn't think about that i mean it's a bit weird of him to wrangle up 80 people and then come to the realization that he actually wants it all for

himself yeah because that's a pretty i feel like that's a pretty like split second decision yeah you would decide like within half a second you decide after wrangling the 30th person whether you wanted to follow through or not yeah not 80 unless this is kind of like a teenage house party situation where he tells his one or two besties he's like right but on the dl it's borderline eldorado of course bring stacy she's hot as hell she'll probably want to see eldorado yeah hey uh steve do you think you could invite some babes because uh this eldorado quest is turning into a bit of a sausage quest, to be honest. Sausage quest.

And then it just gets out of control, Project X style. Yeah. People just down there raving with the mummies, going buck wild. But I will say, in J.C. Brown's defense, what makes this story more believable is that he wasn't the only person talking about an underground city. In 1899, Frederick Spencer Oliver's book, A Dweller on Two Planets, alleged that Earth was once home to an entirely other continent called Lemuria, that sunk at some point in history under the ocean, but crucially that some of the survivors had buried a network of tunnels underneath

Mount Shasta, USA. He called these people Lemurians, and even claimed that eyewitnesses had seen people walking around the surface of Mount Shasta in white robes before descending underneath the earth again. Jeez. Of course, this sounds deeply unscientific, but one thing in Oliver's story is based on a kind of scientific thinking. Lemuria itself. The story goes back even further to 1864 when a zoologist called Philip Slater published a paper with a question, or indeed a problem. In his zoological research, he had discovered a species of lemur in Madagascar, but not in mainland Africa. Now, whilst this was a little unexpected, it wasn't too crazy. There's lots of species that are native only to Madagascar. The problem was this species of lemur was also found in India. What the f*** is going on?

What's going on? Why are you talking about lemurs? We were just talking about an ancient city that disappeared into the earth. I'm getting there. A volcano. Now I'm hearing about a lemur who doesn't live. Stick with me for literally one more second. Did I mention the lemur's a ghost?

So these lemurs eat a specific type of nut and this nut there's no way you can continue to say nut like that for the rest of the podcast like what that's not okay so the lemurs eats like a special nut. Did I mention the nut is from space? I really hope that's the case. No. Listen, stick with me. Okay. We're talking about science here.

Science isn't always catchy, straightforward. Sometimes it's confusing as shit. And granted, I don't understand half of this, but I'm just saying it as if I do because the dumbasses at home will believe it if I say nut high pitched enough i can't argue with that listen this posed a problem we have this species of lemur in madagascar the species of why are you laughing how dare you laugh at this paranormal evidence i want to i just i i'm very

excited to see how this all links round so there's a nut okay so there is a nut absolute of course there's a nut what do you think the lemurs eat i don't know bugs like in the hakuna matata song they're basically like jelly beans well but what are bugs with if not just nuts with legs so how did this lemur get from india to madagascar without going through the Middle East or Africa. Okay, I think I see how this is linking round. Slater believed that, in fact, those two countries were once part of a giant continent that he named La Maria, a kingdom that would explain his lemurs, which like i'm on board with the idea but it's pretty funny that to like that's your explanation yeah he's a continent there's an eighth continent not that like a couple

lemurs snuck on a boat and went off to the other one and banged there and then had a bunch of baby lemurs way more likely that a lemur got trapped in a coconut that fell into the ocean and drifted. Yeah, across. Across the f***ing Indian Ocean. Surprisingly, this idea of Lemuria found its audience pretty quickly. And a number of other academics saw how it could explain other problems in science. it could explain other problems in science for example some even thought that the missing link between apes and humans could have lived on lemuria and that's why we haven't found any fossils but it also fit the narrative of people who believed in the lost city of atlantis

because since forever they've been trying to explain these historical records of a civilization lost underneath the sea, except we haven't found any physical evidence of that. Well, we found a little if you check out the Atlantis episode. It was a good episode. I think I decided that Atlantis was real, so I guess we did find something. So is the belief here with these scientists that there is a continent that is missing because it disappeared below the ocean? Haight.

Okay. They think that Lemuria may have sunk with lemurs and advanced humans still on it. Is there any link between lemurs and Lemuria? Like, they kind of sound similar. Yeah, that's the point. Lemuria? Okay. Well, it was either that or Nut Island. Which I am 100% down for.

Nut Island sank like a rock. That's like somewhere you'd go to an animal crossing. It does. Like a friendly lemur on a boat would pick you up and be like... That's an insanely good animal crossing impression. But then as you watch the boat go off into the distance, it just sinks. You and the lemur f***ing die. That's how you get to Nut Island.

It's just a kill screen on your f***ing DS. And this brings us full circle back to Frederick Spencer Oliver because he claimed that it was these people from a lost civilization that fled their home and started a city underneath Mount Shasta. Apparently this story was fleshed out in some detail in a 1931 book about Lemurians by Harvey Spencer Lewis and the whole thing basically popped off from there. And thankfully, unlike the continent of Lemuria itself, which is of course lost to time forever, never to be seen again, the history of lemuria is safely recorded on lemurianconnection.com where it can never be

sunk because it's a website so according to these guys the history of lemuria goes back 4.5 million years whoa which right off the bat is insane because I thought these people were supposed to be kind of humans. And humans are like, I think, less than a quarter million years old. Right. So for Lemurians to be 4.5 million years old is straight up surprising. Wait, so they predate the human race? By like 10 times over. Yeah.

Okay. Not sure how they could then be the missing link later on, but sure. Forget about the missing link. Anyway. It's all about the nuts. Here's just for scale and your own personal interest. Here's a map of what Lemuria might have looked like back in the day. Okay.

Okay. Okay. So, hey, it's, it's, I mean, it's massive. Say the least. It's massive. To say the least. It's enormous. We're talking five Australias slammed together, which is where this place is next to, by the way, Australia. It takes up most of the ocean that is there today. Yeah, I'm not necessarily sure what sort of catastrophic event

would have had to have taken place to sink an island or submerge an island this large unless it was literally just very low to sea level and it eventually just disappeared but this thing is big guys i don't know the exact numbers the sea level has changed a lot over the years i mean for our uk listeners to give it some perspective ireland mainland uk and kind of all of scandinavia and central europe was basically all the same landmass only maybe like 20 000 years ago you could walk from england to norway or whatever um so it's not outside the realms of possibility that a large landmass is underneath the surface but i might have to defer to some sort of ocean

expert on that one yeah but as you say lemuria is big so there's a lot of place for lemurians to hide very true like i said lemurianconnection.com is thankfully going to give us some of the the lowdown on what happened to Lemurians. They say that 25,000 years ago Atlantis and Lemuria were the two most highly civilized civilizations on earth. But dissent between the two arose regarding the development and evolution of other civilizations. The Lemurians believed that the other less evolved cultures, ours, should be left alone to continue their own evolution at their own pace. Right. Whereas the Atlanteans believed that less evolved cultures should be controlled by

Atlantis and Lemuria. Their arguments resulted in several thermonuclear wars. They had nukes? Apparently. Which weakened both continental plates. When the wars were over and the dust had settled, there were no winners. Only death, destruction, and, quote, further debasing of the human spirit.

So, the Lemurians decided to build a separate society inside mont shasta where they would be safe from any disruptions on the surface of the earth oh so they didn't move into the uh the volcano when the the place sunk when the continent sunk this was beforehand this is reach to find some refuge essentially from the nukes yeah that's a good point to make so i think with this theory yes the continent sunk but that isn't necessarily why they first moved to montchester how the hell are you going to fit a continent's worth of people into a volcano that's a good question so apparently the city of tel, the name of the city they built inside Mount Shasta, was originally designed to house 200,000 Lemurians. Today it's believed that Telos houses more like 1.5 million Lemurians. Point being, it's definitely within the realms of possibility that you could fit, from 25,000 years ago, that you could fit an entire continent's population into a relatively small

space fair enough lemurianconnection.com go on to say that modern day beliefs say that lemuria can be felt and contacted through spiritual practices the lemurians were a highly evolved spiritual race and they can be contacted through messages from believers it's believed that they use crystals as communication tools and modern day believers say that lemurians programmed crystals to teach their one i'm sorry was that a snicker it's a weird mix between spiritual and technology program crystals well they were very evolved and civilized i get that but i mean are they just plugging crystals into usb ports bit torrenting game of thrones well you don't need a torrent client if you have a crystal you would obviously watch game of thrones in the crystal on the crystal okay it's it's very similar

to our technology yet uh more spiritual right and made of crystal so for example i have like a macbook pro 10 inch but entirely made of crystal of course it would be made there would be apple computers of course but the iphone would be a crystal and if you needed to microwave your microwavable lunch you would simply hold a crystal near the food your food being a crystal by the way that's what they ate too sure edible crystals absolutely delicious i've heard and if you think pooping that thing out is painful good luck wiping because you're wiping with a crystal absolutely you are did i mention you're sitting on a crystal sitting and shitting on a crystal

hope you don't cut yourself because the bandage is a crystal and if you cut yourself pretty bad don't call an ambulance because uh-oh that's a crystal with big crystal shaped wheels that drives basically straight into you a crystal everyone's tuned out at this point yeah uh um and they pretty much go on to say that the physical appearance of lemurians has been debated for years some believe that lemurians look like highly evolved humans uh whilst other believe they have more animalistic qualities because they're not human exactly although it's pretty much universally understood highly evolved humans, whilst others believe they have more animalistic qualities because they're not human exactly. Although it's pretty much universally understood

they are taller than us surface dwellers. Here's one artist's interpretation. Actually, a nice portrait in front of Mount Shasta. Okay. Oh, wow. This is insanely more human than I would have thought at all. Yeah. I mean, this is just a drawing of a human.

It's just a human man, like a gorgeous-looking Aryan ass, blue-eyed, blonde-haired, chiseled jawline dude standing in front of the volcano. And I have to bring it up now. We talked in previous episodes, a long time ago, in fact, about people that lived in the center of the Earth, right? Yes. Yes, we talked in previous episodes, a long time ago, in fact, about people that lived in the center of the Earth, right? Yes. Yes, we did. I believe that was part of the investigation into Hitler and the Nazis using alien technology to win the war.

And don't even get me started, all right, buddy? Because I could fire off like a goddamn cannon about all that info and all that shit. That was one of the investigations i got drawn into the most yeah that's a dangerous path kind of ruined your year didn't it it really it did because every episode i wanted to talk about the same one well not just every episode every family gathering yeah every like night out with the boys yeah you couldn't really change the record it would be like um what do you guys want pitcher of budweiser so a couple glasses are we just not gonna talk about it the fact that hitler's alive inside the hollow earth or a drink and then fine we can talk about it for a while oh yeah okay sure so what do you want can i get a corona and with some lime to

squirt in your eyes and maybe open them wow maybe open them wow people in the hollow earth can live for up to 400 years all right hitler himself is probably alive he's probably thriving he's in his goddamn 20s at this point yeah okay i know we need to we need to form a task force yeah to burrow in there like little mole rats and take this nazi bastard down i'm just gonna grab the drink cool then we'll be right back i would like a corona though yeah and could you get me um could you also get me an old-fashioned because your ideals are old-fashioned you need to open up your eyes we're just gonna go home i'm sorry uh irrelevant just irrelevant just a cocktail though the whole story aside unfortunately there is some overlap between these two sure uh i seem to remember the

descriptions of the people were was kind of like this wasn't it yeah i think they were a lot larger oh okay oh yeah they were really big they were pretty big and the entrance uh to my version of the hollow earth agartha was in antarctica right there were tunnels in antarctica that led down into the earth's core am i thinking of the right story which one had like the hot swedish looking people, I think that was, I think that was, oh no. I think it was part two of the Travis Walton investigation. Are you sure? Where I'm pretty sure,

because that's the one where he talked about being actually on the ship. Oh. And those were a similar description to two of the aliens that he saw when he was on the ship. That's right. Another great two-parter. Definitely check that out. The Travis Walton saga.

I guess I just bring it up because it's kind of similar. But that's pretty much what Lemurian Connection has to say in the matter. But hey, I get that it's a tall order to believe that Lemurians are there today, walking around in white robes, when seemingly no one seems to have any physical evidence of this but there have been some reported sightings in the sense that there are take make of this what you will there are pretty much two different religions which are based on the fact that their leaders met a lemurian that i guess showed them how to like live like a lemurian and spiritual secrets

of the universe really the main one is called the i am movement the i am movement was started in the 1930s roughly by a guy called guy ballard also known as the ascended master teachings religious movement this thing's a borderline cult. But at the peak of its popularity, apparently it had up to a million followers in 1938. Whoa. And it is still going in some fashion today, but it's seen more.

They're trying to kind of say that it's a bit more of like a... A bit of rebranding. Yeah, they did a little rebranding over the last hundred years hey what cult hasn't but crucially guy ballard the man who started it said that while hiking on mount shasta he encountered a man who introduced himself as the count of saint germain which is impossible because that guy died in 1784. But did this person relay these spiritual truths to him and he went on to start this cult religion, which is widely seen as evidence of a Lemurian connection to use the URL. So listen, Rory, I've presented you with absolutely zero physical evidence.

Yeah, that's true. However, I have presented you every brick of the golden pyramid of truth, which, as we've covered in previous podcasts, is rumor, hearsay, legend. Speech, I think, is one of them. Yeah, chat or something like that. Yeah, all seven points. All of those are present we have borderline blogs talking about this thing right what do you make of the the case of

manchester and its paranormal people you know the part of the story that i found most interesting was probably the start with the rumored discovery of an ancient tomb filled with gold treasure and mummies for some reason sure um you know i can't say i'm not disappointed that that didn't develop into some more uh physical evidence um i never even found out why there were mummies in in in this underground eldorado well i think for the first evident i think the lemurians probably mummify their people would the lemurians not still be alive uh had he discovered their treasure room you would think that he would have come across maybe they were on a smoke break or something um then we have the even larger claims that they're of the missing continent of the lemurs who conquered the world there's a lot to digest yeah i think today in this case history is a pretty long thing right

don't get happened don't get so defensive early on because i feel like you might not like where the conclusion ends up so maybe get we can get upset at the end but we'll keep pushing through for this one here i think it's difficult i'm not gonna go down without a fight okay i'm not just gonna let you just blow this case wide open and just shit all over it so look this this happened in the last episode right i got a little aggressive yeah when when you were disagreeing with my case yeah you did you know i think we need to just come at this rationally as rational people okay well as you know it's pretty rational the uh evidence for the marines living under manchester you called it nut island

at one point you called it nut island what about it and said it doesn't make it nut island you said there was a higher chance of a lemur riding a coconut across the ocean then they're being a missing continent so i don't want to put your own words in your mouth did i say that i don't even really know what to come what what i'm concluding on am i concluding about the hidden golden chamber the ancient civilizations and their thermonuclear wars or that a place called nut island home of the lemur exists all of the above it's all one tapestry that all weaves together perfectly may i add definitely not perfectly um okay if it's everything and it is then it's no what if it's one of them it's still no are you serious i think this week is going to be a triple i'll kill you i think it's going to be a triple no wow you know

there was a lot of heart in that case not a lot of evidence you know which um is pretty important when it comes to uh debating and deciding whether something truly did happen or not uh sorry i didn't even ask your uh i didn't even ask your opinion on it what do you think as the chief and you're so upset as a chief investigator um what do you what do you think what do you make of the case bullshite what does it matter what i think well it can still you can still say i wanted a royal flush all right i gotta come clean guys um i love this story i think it's definitely a much uh deeper rabbit hole than i was expecting specifically an 11 mile deep cave into a volcano that has mummies and gold at the end yeah uh kind of rabbit hole definitely interesting i think the the nut island is the best part okay right because how did the lemurs get from

from madagascar to india we'll never know i think maybe proper scientific research could maybe find a conclusion not sure i'm worried that that's the most convincing and interesting part that you've latched onto. But I do concede that even if Nut Island was real, it's hard to prove that there was a thermonuclear war 25,000 years ago. Yeah. and I would say that the cult movements like the I Am movement maybe aren't the greatest example of what the Lemurian teachings have to offer. So I don't really like where that whole thing's going. Also, it should be said that I don't really like whenever paranormal entities look like what Hitler wanted the entire world to look like.

Yeah, it's not a good sign. It's not a great sign it's not a great sign like in these stories it's like they were the perfect humans like okay i think i see where this is going yeah i think it's a no today okay but hey thank you matt for sending this one in really enjoyed reading into it uh honestly there's there's way more to the story than than i even got the chance to talk about here but i I wanted to hit the key points. Let us know what you think of this one.

paranormal life listeners did you know that in addition to the main episode that gets released every week there is a secret underground 11 miles under the volcano el dorado stash of bonus episodes online and there's only two mummies in that cave kit and myself and we are very much alive and very much chatty and very much making too hot for tv bonus content every month but here's the difference there's no gold in our cave so we rely on patreon not sponsors not dirty corporations with their frankly thousands of dollars that they're insisting they throw at us every week to read one advert for squarespace yeah and we're just pushing them back out of the cave like goddamn reverse chimney sweeps trying to get them out of here because we know that your support

is enough to keep us going and that is how we keep the podcast going by creating bonus episodes for our patrons our latest bonus episode borderline rewrites history i know i say that a lot but it it does it doesn't it did it's about uh it's about napoleon bonaparte uh and it blows history apart how about that uh but there's a ton a treasure trove i think we just hit uh 24 episode 24 crazy bonus? But there's a ton, a treasure trove. I think we just hit 24, episode 24 of our bonus episode. So there's hours and hours of content there for just five bucks a month. We've also got t-shirts if you want to get your Disney-style fast pass into the paranormal commune. And at the end of every episode,

we like to take the time to shout out those who've supported us on Patreon right here on the cast. That's what we're going gonna do. Let's go! Special thank you to Rob Arthur! I will rob Arthur. About five bucks a month. And in return, he gets some bonus episodes. That's how this works. That's insanely rude. Did he agree to this?

Well, it doesn't matter, because if I'm out of episodes, we still rob Arthur. That doesn't sound like he agreed. thanks also to matt darbyshire matt darby throws a flat barbie this guy tried to have a barbecue last weekend and it was the worst lamest shit of all time whoa how mid-october pissing rain he threw out of date sausages on the grill matt no he lives near a forest so a bunch of feral cats came along jesus stole everyone's wallets these things were urbanized as all hell my god everyone's monzo cards gone some wolves came took the sausages matt gets locked out of his own house so we can't even use the amenities. Suddenly, everyone's pissing in his five-meter-square little garden.

The whole thing was a washout. Where was my invite? You wanted to be there? I mean, I'd like to have had the option, Matt. Jesus. Just learn from your mistakes, Matt. I hope you throw a better Barbie next time. Thanks also to Jeremy Blair. The Jeremy Blair Witch Project. Sounds terrifying. Right. throw a better barbie next time thanks also to jeremy blair the jeremy blair witch project uh

sounds terrifying right but it's actually a pretty cool initiative to help underprivileged witches oh that's actually really sweet jeremy uh was cursed by a evil wizard as a baby and until he was 45 he lived with that curse being a vole he was transformed into a vole for 45 years missed all the best years to be honest uh but then a kind witch came along and just like it literally took half a second anyone could have done it he probably should have found her earlier yeah he should have uh turned him into a human man again. Yes, missed the best years of his life, but he was very grateful and he wanted to help other witches. Fair play to him. That's a tough uproar.

You don't want to go through puberty as a vole. No. Horny as all hell and you can't talk. That's my greatest fear. Because if they could talk, they could get laid, but they can't, so they won't. Exactly. Thanks also to Jessica. Jessica the dress licker that's right

watched watched the infamous movie willy wonka when she was younger and inspired by the anything is edible room decided to design her own line of edible dresses wow i mean they're sticky they're ill-fitting it's basically be comfortable you can be comfortable. You basically roll about in f***ing Twinkies and superglue. That's kind of what the dress is. But hey, it covers you up and you can lick them, so... A niche market, but in this Squarespace age we live in, she's a trillionaire. She is. And I'm glad to see some of that money coming our way.

Thanks, Jessica. Thanks also to Michael Sutherin. Michael Sutheran lives surprisingly far north oh i'll be honest as far north as one can get well how as in like looping around the world he left planet earth okay the moon then he he wanted he got to the north pole and he just wanted to get even further north he just said that's not far enough man uh took a rocket just straight up wow should be said though up is pretty relative north doesn't really exist once you leave space so we don't know where he is he's gone he's he's he's basically interstellar he's just hopping

between dimensions and worlds and somehow still getting our podcasts. Thanks also to Luke Ward. We've all had a lukewarm cup of tea, but have you ever had a Luke Ward cup of tea? No. It's boiling hot. It melts the mug in your hands. Oh my God. Fries your eyes and your head.

This isn't tea, is it? No, it's not tea. It's Mark. Wait, not Mark. It's not tea. It's Luke Ward. It's not even, it's just, it's a, it it's a it's an element that's been partially undiscovered because the scientists that first saw it melted that's how hot this thing is it's like a thousand hot chocolates all right that put things in perspective in your feeble

little human mind you're human too also that sounds delicious sure it is absolutely delicious sure a couple marshmallows tossed in there couldn't hurt anyone but a thousand hot chocolates marshmallows actually start a complex chemical reaction that turn it back into cocoa thank you luke thanks also to megan chase megan chase started the space race really She had a friend from the Soviet Union, and she just made a paper airplane, threw it in the sky, and said, beat that. So she wasn't like an engineer or an astronaut or anything like that? No, it really snowballed. It really snowballed from there.

Sounds like it, yeah. And they tried to do what they built, a paper airplane with a bit of a better design so it could go a little higher. A bit of oomph, yeah. A bit of oomph. And then she was like, all right, well,

I might just put a freaking little rocket on the end of my paper airplane. And then they came back and they were like... And then their friend called Putin and was like, let's do this. And it was on. It was on from that point onward. So, wow.

Is that an accomplishment? I guess. You helped put him out on the moon you kind of started it i mean they didn't use your paper plane design so i guess you didn't not at all no help it was a crappy plane it was a terrible he would have been he would have been obliterated if he tried to land on that thing thanks also to liam so liam is uh actually a vole. He is... Another vole. Very much still a vole. He lives pretty much every kind of facet of life to do with being a vole.

Was he cursed as well by the same wizard? I don't think so. He's just a vole. I think he comes from some kind of vole island. It's been lost to history, but he just kind of has to wander around on a kind of base list. But that's where he was born, I'm pretty sure.

Okay. A lot of voles listening to the podcast recently. Really strange. How's that happened? Thanks also to Sylvia Hernandez. Sylvia, it should come to no surprise to you that after listening to this episode, we were looking for Goldia, you know? But hey, we got you. You're pretty great.

you know but hey we got you you're pretty great if you want to come out on a little mining expedition with kit and and uh myself we'd really much appreciate it if you do find any gold though do do let us know if you find any silver throw it in the trash where it belongs of course sylvia but uh yeah just keep keeping out for that gold and if you find any just you know just give it throw it our way and just keep looking with your back turned thanks also to patrick venator nash pat nash has some fat cash we asked this guy hey do you want to be on the two dollar tier do you want to be on the five dollar tier and he said one trillion dollars and we were like I don't know what we can offer you for that. We almost insist that you reinvest this money into the systems to help the underprivileged.

And he just went, silence. Every time you speak, I burn a dollar. And he's like, well, I don't know if we actually, you seem like a bit of a mean person. If that's your outlook, why do you listen to a podcast? We speak all the time. One dollar burnt. Okay, wow. Two dollar burnt. We didn't speak. Three dollar burnt. to a podcast we speak all the time one dollar okay wow two dollar burn we didn't speak three dollar all right we'll take the money we'll take the money

just give us the money um he had burnt several millions by this point um so we ended up with scraps he sat in the initial email for a few months so he burned out most of the estate at that point yeah thanks to daniel romano daniel romano plays the piano but i'm not a fan no i prefer guitar that's right what is evil twin brother plays exactly the guitar is the instrument of of. You know, name one rock star who plays piano. You can't. The singer of Coldplay. Sure. Name two more.

I dare you. Freddie Mercury and... Sure, I guess if you want to call Freddie Mercury a rock star, I don't know. He's the lead singer of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. It's a bit of a stretch, but sure. I said two more, by the way. I said two more. You gave me one me one so there's the buzzer there's others just give me time but i say freddy uh i think there's actually only two how did i guess you're right but yeah everyone

knows that classical music with lots of pianos you you know, Beethoven and Mozart and so on, was great up until a point. But once we invented amplifiers, classical music became defunct. Redundant. It's the music of boring old boomers. And EDM is the music of the people and of the future. Exactly.

I've never been so disappointed that a man with a name called wolfgang could write such utter dribble so uh keep it up romano or don't yeah take up guitar we insist you do or synth thanks lastly but not leastly to even rogers well if it isn't misbehaving even oh nice misbehaving is really understating what he's known for, which is just about every crime on the face of the earth. Yeah, last I checked, it was trending on Twitter. It was like a multi-million dollar criminal lawsuit, fraud. He's doing white collar crime, blue collar crime, and no collar crime

on some Neanderthal shit. That's just mugging people in a t-shirt but also very much uh laundering millions of dollars uh through large international banks he's laundering thousands of dollars through laundry that's right a laundry business where uh each jacket is filled to the brim with millions he is a little mischievous isn't he but uh misbehaving aven you know we honestly have to applaud the audacity it takes to put your goddamn personal information online for all to see thank you thanks for the support thank you to everyone we've shouted out today and everyone we are yet to shout out thanks so much for being

uh patient we're getting through our patrons names slowly but surely thanks for tuning in this week we will be back next tuesday with a brand new paranormal tale Thank you.
