A wild 17 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: History of ghostly and spectral animals. I bet some of 18 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: you know what a kelpie is, But how about a 19 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: galley trot or have you heard of a spunky? Or 20 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: how about a Volharand surely you've heard of demon cats, 21 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: fairy dogs, black dogs, devil dogs, old Schuck, But have 22 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: you heard of the Horrible Horseman Herne the Hunter. Well, 23 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: if you don't know what those things are, or you 24 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: want to know more about them and a lot more, 25 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: well you are listening to the right show right now. 26 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: I can tell you that in two thousand and six 27 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: I published a book that I wanted to call Phantomals. Now, 28 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: those are just phantom animals. I created that term. The 29 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: publishers decided to call it pet ghosts because they thought 30 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: pet ghosts would be more marketable. I didn't like it, 31 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: but that's how it goes when you sell your work 32 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: to a publisher. And don't get me wrong, the book 33 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: does have lots of ghostly pet stories in it, but 34 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: it also has a lot more, I mean stories about 35 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 2: some of the weirdest creatures you can imagine, even dinosaur 36 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: ghosts and cryptids like Mothman. Well, a listener of this 37 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: podcast contacted me recently and asked me if I'd ever 38 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: done one of these shows about ghostly animals, and I 39 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: immediately wanted to say, well, yes, of course, I mean 40 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: I've talked about that sort of thing from time to time. 41 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: But I immediately said yes because I did episode twenty 42 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: seven of Strange Things, which was called The Talking Mongoose 43 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: and Amazing Animals, and then I did a part two 44 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: episode twenty eight called More Paranormal Animals. But you know what, 45 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: I went back and listened to those shows, and actually 46 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 2: I really wasn't talking mostly about ghostly and spectral animals, 47 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: one of my specialties. Instead, I was talking more about 48 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: incredible abilities that animals have that we humans don't have, 49 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: that seem almost paranormal, and so I realized, Wow, I 50 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: guess I do need to focus on this topic that 51 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: is so fascinating to me and to so many of you, 52 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: and so I hope you enjoy what I have in 53 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: store for you during this show. There is a chapter 54 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: in my book called a History of Spectral Animals, and 55 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: I'm going to kind of skip around and sort of 56 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 2: read through that chapter as a guideline, adding some spontaneous 57 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: commentary behitting the highlights some of these most fascinating creatures. 58 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: And it's really a gigantic story, the whole history of 59 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 2: spectral animals. So let's get started here we go. I 60 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: will point out that when it comes to phantomals, you 61 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: really have two different types. You have ghost animals, and 62 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: just like with people. A ghost animal could be an 63 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: entity or an imprint. So an entity is an animal 64 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: ghost that seems to be interactive and unpredictable and aware, 65 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: kind of like a disembodied spirit. And then you have 66 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: the imprint animal ghost, which seems like a recording in 67 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: the environment that just to replace itself from time to time. 68 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: But there's another main category, which I just call ghostly animals, 69 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: and they differ because it seems like that they do 70 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: not necessarily have to be the apparitions that appear apart 71 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: from some physical form that used to exist, like for example, 72 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: one of the categories of ghostly is what we call 73 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: an elemental. Okay, this is a ghostly animal that may 74 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: have never even occupied a physical body, like for example, 75 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: some of the hell hounds. They have these features like 76 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 2: glowing red eyes, and they're gigantic and they're vicious, and 77 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: they don't look like any physical dog that we've ever seen. 78 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: Another category of ghostly animals is what I call the 79 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: harbinger ghostly animals. Now, these may be physical animals in 80 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: our realm, but they carry with them spiritual energy. So 81 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: such creatures might have been specifically charged with paranormal energy, 82 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: such as a witch is familiar or a minion, or 83 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: a messenger of a magician's spell. Or it's possible that 84 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: some creatures are simply attracted to concentrated pools of energy, 85 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: either good or bad, due to some sensitivity we don't 86 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 2: yet understand. So it reminds me of like the Amityville horror, 87 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: where when the paranormal activity was heightened, all of a sudden, 88 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: flies would show up around there. And so these were 89 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: real physical flies, but the presence of these harbinger animals 90 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: can also indicate the presence of these more paranormal energy. 91 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: So it's unclear whether the creature brings the energy or 92 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 2: is just attracted to it, but there's a connection there. 93 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: And I had the misfortune of personally encountering what I 94 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: think were most likely harbingers. Now this was an early 95 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: the early two thousands, due to a personal and professional 96 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: falling out with an old friend. I felt that he 97 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: intentionally placed a curse on me. This man often practiced 98 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: magic and even introduced me to the reality of the subject, 99 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: and so it came as no great surprise when I 100 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: was struck by a long, rapid string of bad luck 101 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: one after the other. I suffered mechanical failures with cars 102 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: and a well pumped dying, electronic mishaps, financial difficulties, some 103 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: problems with other personal relationships, and as you know, without 104 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: delving deeply into magic, I believe that thoughts are as 105 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: solid and physical as bullets. In the long run, you 106 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: can really focus that. And I think this black magician 107 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: was apparently focusing some very nasty things in my direction. 108 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: And it all came to a head one day when 109 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: the Harbingers arrived. Now, at that time, I was living 110 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: in the rural Blue Ridge Mountains where I grew up, 111 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: and having stayed up late, I napped in bed on 112 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: a lazy Sunday afternoon. My girlfriend Lauren, who is now 113 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: my wife, rested beside me on the bed watching television, 114 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: and she listened to the tube via headphone so I 115 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: would not be disturbed. She laid on the bedside facing 116 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: the room's only doorway, with me on the opposite side. 117 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: At one point during my shallow slumber, I heard strange sounds, 118 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: like a crisp plastic being crinkled. It was finally so 119 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: distinct that I awoke, and I tugged on Lauren's sleeve, 120 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: and she slipped down the headphones and I asked her 121 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: if she'd heard any kind of a weird noise. She 122 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: was kind of nonchalance that she may have heard some 123 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: slight noise, but then she just replaced the headset and 124 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: returned her attention to the television. Now here's one of 125 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: the weirdest things about how this began. So here, I 126 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: am half asleep, satisfied with her response, and I rolled 127 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: back over to continue napping, and at that point something 128 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: extraordinary happened. It's the only time I recall anything like 129 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: this happening to me. A voice spoke to me, and 130 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: the voice said, very calmly, there is a snake over there. 131 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: The voice was unfamiliar, sort of androgynous. I opened my 132 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: heavy eyelids, leaned toward the side of the mattress, and 133 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: I was horrified to find a thick, black snake easily 134 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: six feet in length, only inches from my face. His 135 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 2: cold eyes stared directly into mine body length, pausing in 136 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: mid slither, heading straight toward me, and instantly I sprang forth, cursing, 137 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: amazed and dizzied by this sight. The sound of the 138 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: crinkling plastic was from his length passing over some thin 139 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: plastic bags on our floor. Like some grocery bags. We 140 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: had some stuff in well. For the next ten minutes, 141 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: this epic battle ensued. I wrestled with this snake. I mean, 142 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: at the moment our eyes locked, this struggle became clear 143 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: to us both and this thing, this serpent, hissed and 144 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: struck repeatedly, the musky stench of his reptilian fear oozing 145 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: in the air. And though such snakes are not venomous, 146 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: I understand their mouths are full of rotting bacteria, and 147 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 2: their strong teeth are so curved and sharp that, once 148 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: lodged deeply in flesh, the creature often cannot even pull 149 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: its own diseased mouth from the prey. So, trying to escape, 150 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 2: the snake would shoot under furniture, and I'd grab his tail, 151 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: whipping him back out, and his muscular arched forms striking 152 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: at me again, scales shining. Eventually, thanks to the help 153 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: of a long gripping mechanical device, you know, one of 154 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: these things you used to remove objects from high shelves, 155 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: I got a hold on his neck, dumped him in 156 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: a trash can, and hurriedly, trembling with adrenaline, I rushed 157 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: outside of this house. We were out in the middle 158 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: of the woods and I got rid of him, so 159 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: I was just sort of a nervous wreck. Can you 160 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 2: imagine waking up to them? So here I am. I 161 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: walked back into the house and wait till you hear 162 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: what I saw when I walked back in. That still 163 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 2: gives me shivers thinking about that experience. Oh my goodness, 164 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: so many stories you're going to hear in this particular 165 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: podcast on this topic. You know what I recently did 166 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: a I think a really amazing experiment that has changed 167 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: my life in a positive way, and it caused me 168 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: to produce a new product. But I didn't talk about 169 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: it on this show because some things I only share 170 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: with people who sign up for my free E newsletter. 171 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: So I just blasted it on my free e newsletter 172 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: and that's how people found out about and got to 173 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: take advantage of this new product.

I am your host, 200 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren beaming into your 201 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: worm whole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, 202 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: where every day is golden and every night is silver. 203 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: Gia tacto zoo me. Upon my return to the house, 204 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: Lauren and I were a nervous wreck, especially because I 205 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: woke up to this drama. I went to the bathroom 206 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: on the opposite end of the house to wash the 207 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: snake's stench from my hands, and then I heard Lauren shriek, 208 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's another one, popping my head out 209 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: of the bathroom. I could not believe my eyes. As 210 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: a child, U I remember weathered old time mountaineers speaking 211 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: of snakes with a seasoned hatred, saying, if you bother 212 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: one another will come along to avenge it. But sure enough, 213 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: less than ten minutes, whether that's true or not, here 214 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: we go. A second black snake was slithering in from 215 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: the opposite end of the house. To this day, I'm 216 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: not sure how they gained access, but here I was. 217 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: For me, it was back to square one. Same kind 218 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: of struggle ensued, ended with the same result. I finally 219 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: got this snake outside, and you know what, h Having 220 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: personally handled them, I can assure you they were physical creatures, 221 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: And yet once the initial shock of the event wore off, 222 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: I was struck by many extraordinary qualities of the encounter. 223 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: I mean, for days after that, I just assumed that 224 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: it must have been Lauren's voice that told me a 225 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: snake was slithering toward me, even though it didn't sound 226 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: like her. I mean, she was the only person there, 227 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: so I just thought it was a warning from her 228 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: that would be natural. But she heard me recount my 229 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: experience to others, it was surprised and said that she 230 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: had not given any kind of warning like that. She 231 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: didn't know that the first serpent was there until I 232 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: sprang up after seeing it. So whose voice gave me 233 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: the warning? I do not know. Could that have been 234 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: an angel whispering in my ear? Why were there two snakes? 235 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: Why did the first one, perhaps having traveled through the 236 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: entire house, slither right past Lauren's side of the bed 237 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: and go straight for me. And to compound the complexity 238 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: of the situation and discussions reflecting on the event, it 239 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: was revealed that the physical position of the second snake, 240 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: in terms of its body's orientation to the room, appeared 241 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: different to each Lauren and me. So there are all 242 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: of these bizarre aspects to that encounter. And just so 243 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: you know, I utilized after this some ceremonious exercises to 244 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 2: deflect the curse back to its source, and things quickly 245 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: improved in my life. In fact, if you are like, 246 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 2: wait a second, Josh, what did you do? How did 247 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: you do that? Well, go back and listen to episode 248 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: eighty one of this podcast called Strange Things that has 249 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: called If You Are Cursed. You'll get all kinds of 250 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: recommendations on how to deflect the curse, Episode eighty one, 251 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: If You Were Cursed. So I was never plugged again 252 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: after this, and that's why you can see why I 253 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: felt like these may have been some kind of harbingers. Now, 254 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: one of the oldest and certainly paranormal documents is the 255 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 2: Holy Bible. Only a couple of pages into the book, 256 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: in Genesis three, a serpent acting as the instrument of 257 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: Satan is portrayed as completely altering the fate of mankind, 258 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: diabolically tempting Eve to eat forbidden fruit against God's wishes. 259 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 2: We all know how that story goes. What's even weirder, though, 260 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: is that in the description there, the story implies that 261 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 2: snakes once may have had legs or even wings, because 262 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: the story says God penalizes the creature by proclaiming, quote, 263 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 2: because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, 264 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: and above every beast of the field. And upon thy 265 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 2: belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all 266 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: the days of thy life end quote. This is very 267 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 2: bizarre because it implies the serpent somehow, you know, participated 268 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: in the process of conducting the devil's wishes, hence the punishment. 269 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 5: There. 270 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: There's a lot of perplexing stuff about snakes and serpents 271 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: in the Bible. Snakes are used again early in the 272 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: Bible for important roles. They kind of contradict the symbology 273 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: of Eve's encounter. In Exodus chapter seven, Moses confronts the 274 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: tyrannical Pharaoh, demanding freedom for the Israelites, and to demonstrate 275 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: his divine power, God instructs Moses to toss his staff 276 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: on the floor before the Pharaoh, transforming it into a serpent. 277 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 2: Now Moses does so, and the royal sorcerers duplicate the 278 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: feet with their rods. However, Moses is snake then devours 279 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: theirs and the creature turns back into a staff, so 280 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: as the story proceeds, the staff is used as the 281 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: symbol of God's power because Moses is told to incorporate 282 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: the instrument when triggering miraculous events like turning all of 283 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 2: Egypt's water into blood. So in this case, the serpent 284 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 2: is apparently worthy to represent God's will. And there are 285 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: all kinds of other miraculous things that Moses does with 286 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,959 Speaker 2: his staph, the staff that can turn into a snake. 287 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: These kinds of situations with even Moses may be some 288 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: of the earliest scenarios differentiating an animal from a pet. 289 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: No sense in getting into all that. But regardless of 290 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: the creature's presence in this physical realm or some intangible 291 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: dimension and genesis, the serpent is cooperating with some entity Lucifer, 292 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: and in the Exodus story, the serpent is cooperating with God. 293 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 2: Very peculiar. There are other phantomals in the Bible, but 294 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: despite the Bible's overwhelming fame, many scholars consider the oldest 295 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: known manuscript to be the Epic of Gilgamesh. It's a 296 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: sweeping adventure in Babylonia based It's based on earlier Sumerian 297 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 2: legends and not only does it include a prominent ghostly encounter. 298 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 2: The entity is that of Incadou, a hairy manlike creature 299 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: similar to our modern concept of the sasquatch, and Incadou 300 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: is an animal because he was not identified as a human, 301 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: and yet this beast could speak, and we could sort 302 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: of think of him as a fantomal at very least 303 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 2: because he returned from the dead to visit with his 304 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 2: old friend, the great King Gilgamesh. Another really bizarre story 305 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 2: that's very old with this concept of the fantomal. But 306 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: the ancient culture applying the most extensive spirituality to animals 307 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 2: may have been the Egyptians. They believe the variety of 308 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: gods and goddesses occupy particular species or species hybrids. For example, 309 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: dog headed baboons represented Thoth, the god of writing, and 310 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 2: Consu the moon god. Crocodiles exemplified Amut, who punished evildoers. 311 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 2: But a sacred animal especially associated with the after life 312 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 2: was the cat. Whether wild or domesticated, they were called 313 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: meu or me which means he or she that muse. 314 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: Simple enough, thousands of cats were mummified to facilitate their 315 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: existence in an afterlife. In fact, the creature was so 316 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: sacred that, according to scientists at the Natural History Museum 317 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: in London, X rays reveal that many cat mummies had 318 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: their necks intentionally snapped to expedite journeys to the other side. 319 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: That's an unfortunate irony for a beast being considered sacred. 320 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: Though literature from the African Middle East is some of 321 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: the most popular and well recorded, less specific tales originate 322 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 2: from most parts of the world. Chinese astrology is famous 323 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 2: for its association between animals and spiritual characteristics. Creatures like dogs, rats, goats, 324 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: and monkeys are used to eximbity theoretical personality traits. The 325 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: only one used today that we are not familiar with 326 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: is the dragon. Does that give the dragon more credibility 327 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 2: being that it was grouped with animals that we know 328 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: to be real? You know, dragons respected in Asian culture 329 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 2: for thousands of years can clearly be called fantomals. They're 330 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: serpentine beast that can fly and breathe fire, often considered auspicious, 331 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 2: and even though it's so prominent in Asian culture as 332 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: even the Bible mentions the fire breathing dragon Leviathon in 333 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 2: Job forty one. It says, out of his mouth go 334 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out out of 335 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: his nostrils, go with smoke as out of a seething 336 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 2: pot or cauldron. His breath kendleth coals, and a flame 337 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: goeth out of his mouth. He maketh the deep to 338 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: boil like a pot. He make it the sea like 339 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: a pot of ointment. In modern times, we know of 340 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 2: no animal that can breathe fire, certainly a phantomal characteristic. 341 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 2: Ancient Americans strongly based their culture on the appreciation for 342 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 2: animals mystical traits. They see animals as windows to the 343 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 2: great Spirit, each type offering different views, as exemplified with 344 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: totem poles. Totems are the spirits that manifest through animals, 345 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 2: such as power through the bear and planning via the squirrel. 346 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: Various aspects of life are facilitated by these invisible forces. 347 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: Perhaps one of the most chilling apparitions in ancient American 348 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: culture has been the wind to go, and this beast 349 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 2: blurs the line between humans and creatures. Windigoes are hairy 350 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: giants that were once normal living persons. However, these people 351 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: died at very least in a spiritual sense, after resorting 352 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: to cannibalism. Such a horrible practice transformed them into deformed, 353 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: bloodthirsty animals, similar to the European concept of humans becoming vampires. 354 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 2: And just as vampires can shape shift into other creatures 355 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: such as bats and wolves and owls, well, windy goes 356 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: can shape shift even back to their original human form. 357 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: We got to take a break when we come back. 358 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: Did you know that there was this belief in wind 359 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: to Go is so strong that it apparently inspired a 360 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 2: real serial killer.

I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, 381 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual, 382 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: supposedly when seen in true form a wind a go. 383 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: These shaggy monsters have glowing eyes, long yellow fans, and extended, 384 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 2: dripping tongues, and this spectral animals relationship to humans places 385 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: it in a special category, as is so often the 386 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: case in these ancient tales. In It's noteworthy then, even 387 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: even in modern time, belief in windigoes has been so 388 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: strong as to inspire serial murderers. Jack Fiddler, a Canadian 389 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: Cree Indian, claimed to have killed at least fourteen quote 390 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: windigoes in his life, and was tried in nineteen oh 391 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: seven for the murder of a woman in his tribe. 392 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: He and his son said she was in fact a Windigo, 393 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: but Fiddler was imprisoned for murder at the age of 394 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: eighty seven. Such instances reinforced the connection between ancient culture 395 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: and even present ideas regarding humans and animals. You know, 396 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: the Australian Aborigines revered animal spirits as much as other 397 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 2: ancient cultures, applying mystical meanings to creatures, especially those visiting 398 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 2: an dreams. The Yowi was a mysterious, hairy animal like 399 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 2: spirit that represented death. Its specific origin is unknown, but 400 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 2: in Tasmania a more familiar type of phantomal has been 401 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: reported near the Richmond Bridge. They're a hulking black dog 402 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: haunts and he appears at night when potentially vulnerable people 403 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 2: like petite women or small children intend to cross, and 404 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: escorts them over safely, and after the helpful k nine 405 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: wanders off, he just dissolves into the evening air. These 406 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: stories about black dogs are especially prominent in Europe, though, 407 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 2: and they are well recorded in the Middle Ages and 408 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 2: the Victorian era. So let's move up to that stage 409 00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: of history, shall we. Of course? Understandably, in ancient or 410 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: specific kinds of animals are not always clearly identified, but 411 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 2: due to the invention of the Gutenberg printing press in 412 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: fourteen fifty six, some of these stories from the Middle 413 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: Ages through Victorian times are some of the best early 414 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: documented accounts clarifying these creatures. As in the ancient Egyptian civilization, 415 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: cats played a prominent role in that era. The idea 416 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 2: of cats being associated with spiritual evil was greatly enhanced 417 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 2: by the publication of a book called the Malleus Malefikaram. 418 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 2: You've heard me talk about this before. That's called the 419 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 2: Hammer of Witches. It was published in fourteen eighty seven. 420 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: The authors were a couple of Dominican Catholic friars, and 421 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: they helped spearhead the witch hunting craze of the fifteenth 422 00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: through the seventeenth century. This was the handbook see during 423 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: that time. Cells of this book were only exceeded by 424 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: the Bible, which the Bible says thou shalt not suffer 425 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: a witch to live, and up to millions of people 426 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: may have been tortured and killed due to the influence 427 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 2: of the Malleus Maleficarum as a handbook for finding these 428 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 2: witches during the Inquisition, and in this book, cats are 429 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 2: often directly described as possible tools of the devil. There's 430 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: this one story, for example, I'm going to read it 431 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 2: a section verbatim. A workman was one day chopping some 432 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 2: wood to burn in his house. A large cat suddenly 433 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 2: appeared and began to attack him, And when he was 434 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: driving it off, another even larger one came and attacked 435 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 2: him with the first more fiercely. And when he again 436 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: tried to drive them away, behold, three of them together 437 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 2: attacked him, jumping up at his face and biting and 438 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: scratching his legs in great fright, And as he said, 439 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: more panic stricken that he had ever been, he crossed 440 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: himself and even his work, fell upon the cats, which 441 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 2: were swarming over the wood, and again leaping at his 442 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: face and throat, And with difficulty he drove them away 443 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: by beating one on the head, another on the legs, 444 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 2: and another on the back. So that's a passage from 445 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: that book. But it goes on to say that after 446 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: the incident, the workman is suddenly arrested by town magistrates 447 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: and thrown into a dungeon, And days later a judge 448 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 2: accuses him of beating these three women respected women in 449 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 2: the town, and the astonished man says, well, I remember 450 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: that I struck some creatures at that time, but they 451 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 2: were not women. And then he goes on, and I 452 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: won't read all this to take me forever, but he 453 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: goes on to convince everybody that these he didn't beat 454 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 2: these women. These women had transformed into witches. Or actually 455 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 2: these witches, these women were witches who transformed into cats. 456 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: And it says in this handbook here they use the 457 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 2: phantasm of a cat, an animal, which is in the 458 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 2: scriptures an appropriate symbol of the perfidious. You know what 459 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 2: that means. Perfidious means tending to betray. And then it 460 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 2: goes on to say, just as a dog is the 461 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: symbol of preachers, for cats are always setting snares for 462 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: each other, and the order of preaching friars was represented 463 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 2: in its first founder by a dog barking against heresy. 464 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 2: So in this book when they said that cats are perfidious, 465 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 2: tending to betray, but dogs are, you know, they're helping out, 466 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: They're on the good side. That's where that like rivalry 467 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 2: between cats and dogs really began historically. And what you 468 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 2: find is that obviously all throughout European culture evident to 469 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 2: this day, there's this connection between traditional sorcerers and cats, 470 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 2: especially you know, black cats long fault to harbor bad luck. Unfortunately, 471 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 2: they're popular targets sometimes for Halloween tricks. And it's no 472 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: wonder that cats and dogs are not only our favorite 473 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 2: pets because they've gotten so much interesting attention and they're 474 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: so useful in so many ways, but also they're associated 475 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 2: with ghostly activity. But of the two, dogs are more 476 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 2: most often mentioned as apparitions. From this period to this day, 477 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: the most famous canine apparitions in Europe are those of 478 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,720 Speaker 2: the United Kingdom, especially what they call the black Dogs. 479 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 2: That's a general term for shadowy canine like creatures often 480 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 2: accompanying doom. And the concept was especially popularized in the 481 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes mystery The Hound of the Baskersvilles How to 482 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 2: the Baskervilles, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, an author 483 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: who publicly upheld a lifelong interest in the paranormal. And 484 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 2: these creatures can fulfill a wide variety of purposes, from 485 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 2: revenge to protection to omens. In his nineteen thirteen book 486 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 2: called Animal Ghosts, author Elliott O'Donnell makes the following important statement. 487 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: He says quote. As to what class of spirits the 488 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 2: specter dog belongs, that is impossible to say. At the most, 489 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 2: we can only surmise, and I should think the chances 490 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 2: of its being the actual phantasm of some dead dog 491 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 2: or an elemental are about equal end quote. In other words, 492 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: we can't say for certain whether these phantomals are the 493 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 2: products of once living canines or originating from another realm altogether. Personally, 494 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: I suspect they are indeed elementals, because they're often larger 495 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 2: than usual dogs and exhibit behavior apparently driven by purposes 496 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 2: transcending mere survival instincts of a normal animal from our realm. 497 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 2: Some particular examples are the fairy dogs from the Highlands 498 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 2: of Scotland. These are large dogs with short tails and 499 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: long feet, and are actually a mossy green in color, 500 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 2: despite the popular moniker of black dogs, and these fairy 501 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 2: dogs appear to be guarding a cavern of some sort 502 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 2: on the Isle of Tyree and bark three times before 503 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 2: viciously attacking. Therefore, obviously no one can say what happens 504 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 2: past the third mark. The idea of these beings is 505 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 2: foreboding guards is a common theme also exhibited by the 506 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 2: galley trot. Gally trots are tall, eerie specters that appear 507 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 2: as hounds walking upright, sometimes with body parts seen human like. 508 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 2: They are most often seen around ancient European burial grounds 509 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 2: or sites of hidden treasure as is such, Whereas as 510 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 2: usual with these beings, a siding is considered a freakish 511 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: omen of death, so observers usually flee in terror, and 512 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 2: we therefore have little information about such beings. But they 513 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 2: are sometimes dressed in human clothes, they may even be 514 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 2: capable of speaking, and they are certainly different than any 515 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 2: ordinary creature on our physical planet. Well, my friends, I'm 516 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 2: going to pause right now because I believe we're going 517 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: to turn this into a two part podcast. We still 518 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 2: have some great stuff to go as we move through 519 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: the years. I'm about to get into hell hounds and 520 00:37:54,400 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 2: Spunkys and volharounds and Herne the Hunter. But I've got 521 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 2: one more segment left in the show, and so what 522 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: I want to do when we come back is I 523 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 2: want to read at least one or two emails I got. 524 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 2: I received an email from a man who is a listener, 525 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 2: and he's a police officer, and he had a pretty 526 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 2: he's an emotional experience just days ago that he thought 527 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 2: I should share with all of you. That gives some 528 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 2: insight into the way reality works. And so I'm going 529 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 2: to read that when we come back. But when I 530 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 2: do the next show, next episode, next week of Strange Things, 531 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 2: well it'll just be a History of Spectral Animals Part two. 532 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: I had a feeling that was going to happen because 533 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 2: the history of spectral animals is a big history. It's 534 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 2: a giant story to tell. So when we come back, 535 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 2: I'll read the listener emails. I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're 536 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: listening to range Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to 537 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 2: Coast SAM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. 538 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere.

I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, 554 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 2: and I honestly I think this book that I published 555 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 2: in two thousand and six called Pet Ghosts Animal Encounter 556 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 2: is from the on the Grave. I think it's one 557 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 2: of my more interesting books. It's two hundred and thirty 558 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 2: pages long. You wouldn't believe how much content is in here. 559 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,720 Speaker 2: If you go to AMMA and just search for Pat 560 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 2: Ghosts and Joshua P. Warren, you should be able to 561 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 2: find the book on Amazon today. But as I said, 562 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 2: next show, we will continue with the history of ghostly 563 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 2: and spectral animals. But I wanted to definitely get to 564 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 2: some listener emails. This comes to me from a man 565 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 2: who is a police officer and he's corresponded with me before, 566 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 2: so I know who he is, but he's active. He's 567 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 2: an active police officer, so he doesn't want his name 568 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 2: to be used here in this story. And I also 569 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 2: know where he lives, but I don't want to say 570 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 2: that either. He's in one of the northern states here 571 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 2: in the US, he writes. In our previous correspondence, I 572 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 2: mentioned that I have been involved in law enforcement for 573 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 2: over twenty years. A few years ago, I wanted to 574 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 2: go back to the village where I had begun my 575 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:06,320 Speaker 2: part time career. Although I had left in good standing, 576 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 2: they decided they could not bring me back. At the time, 577 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 2: this was very disappointing, but there was nothing I could 578 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: do about it. In August of twenty twenty three, I 579 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 2: decided to go talk to the chief of a neighboring 580 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 2: village with a population of about eight hundred people, and 581 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 2: he gladly welcomed me and I started helping out immediately. 582 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 4: Well. 583 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 2: This past weekend, while on regular patrol, a young man 584 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 2: ran to my cruiser. His truck had just been stolen 585 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 2: from the local store and his two year old son 586 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 2: was in the back seat. I immediately gathered as much 587 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 2: info as I could and got all the adjacent agencies 588 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 2: involved looking for the vehicle. Shortly after this, I got 589 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 2: confirmation from an eye witness and we got a location 590 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 2: on his cell phone that was still in the truck. Well. 591 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 2: We immediately converged on the location that was five miles away, 592 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 2: but to our disappointment, the phone had been thrown out 593 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 2: of the truck. At this time, we spoke to the 594 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 2: eyewitness and got a description of the suspect, and then 595 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,840 Speaker 2: a lady from town called in and said she needed 596 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 2: to speak with an officer and might have information for us. 597 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 2: Myself and a state trooper went to her house and 598 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 2: obtained a description of the man who was visiting her brother. 599 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 2: And her description matched that of the eyewitness, and now 600 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 2: we had a name. We started to head back to 601 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 2: the area where the phone had been tossed to look more. 602 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 2: On the way there, a camera twenty two miles away 603 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 2: got a hit on the license plate of the truck. 604 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 2: Myself and the state trooper proceeded to the location as 605 00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 2: fast as we could. Five minutes away from our rife, 606 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 2: we received word that he gave the name of the 607 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 2: town police. Another town's police there had the child and 608 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 2: he was safe and the suspect was apprehended. I got 609 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 2: to the child and immediately called his mother, and the 610 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 2: two of them were able to face time and see 611 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 2: each other. He was checked out, and I very happily 612 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 2: drove him back to his parents. From the time his 613 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,439 Speaker 2: dad approached me to the time I had the child 614 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 2: in my arms was exactly two hours and ten minutes. 615 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 2: Things always happen for reasons unknown to us. Had my 616 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 2: old apartment taken me back, I would not have been 617 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: where I was this weekend. Things may have turned out 618 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 2: the same. But I like to believe I was there 619 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 2: for the reason of being able to get information out 620 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 2: immediately and getting all the nearby law enforcement agencies involved 621 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 2: for a quick and happy ending. And he also points out, 622 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 2: I want to be clear, this was not all me. 623 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,800 Speaker 2: It was one hundred plus officers from a dozen different 624 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,319 Speaker 2: agencies all working together to make this happen. Everyone played 625 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 2: a role. Wow. I applaud you, sir, Thank you. I 626 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 2: can't imagine the horror of the parent or the parents 627 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 2: knowing that some scumbags stole the car, and the car 628 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 2: is not even what you care about. The most precious 629 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 2: thing is the child in the back. I mean, that's 630 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 2: just I'm so glad that had an amazing, happy ending. 631 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 2: And you know, I watch a lot of these true 632 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 2: crime shows, and I don't know how realistic some of 633 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 2: them are, but they seem like they're pretty accurate in 634 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 2: many cases, and seems like that most of the time, 635 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 2: if you're going to crack a case, the most valuable 636 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: thing you can have is some some witness who comes 637 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 2: forth and says says something you know that's even better 638 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: than a fingerprints or DNA or cameras. You know, So 639 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 2: if you see something you know, don't don't be afraid 640 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 2: to speak up. You know. One of the great things 641 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 2: about your message, sir, is that it gives me an 642 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 2: opportunity to say to people that when you're using manifestation 643 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 2: tools like a wishing machine, sometimes I warn people be 644 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 2: very careful not to wish things for other people, because 645 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 2: sometimes what seems like a bad thing that's happening to 646 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 2: a person is actually a good thing. So let's say 647 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 2: somebody gets sick. You know, we've we've heard these kinds 648 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 2: of stories like, Oh, I was going to go on 649 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 2: vacation to Orlando, but I got sick and I couldn't go, 650 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 2: and it sucked and then it turns out that the 651 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 2: airplane that I would have been on crashed and everybody died. 652 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 2: You hear these stories a lot, so sometimes bad things, 653 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 2: the things that seem bad, happened to you to actually 654 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 2: protect you in the long run. And it's I think 655 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 2: it's different wishing for yourself. You're the captain of your 656 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 2: own destiny. Do all you want to wish for yourself 657 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 2: and your visions of what you want out of life. 658 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 2: But when you start wishing for other people, you just 659 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 2: cannot know all of the circumstances. And there's a big 660 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 2: difference between you, you know yourself, I think therefore I am, 661 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 2: and you trying to understand what's going on in another 662 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 2: person's head or a life. So it's just one of 663 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 2: those stories that you have to keep in mind. If 664 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 2: you're going to start manifesting things, you never know what 665 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 2: the big picture is. You're not able to always see 666 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 2: the big picture. So thank you for that message. I 667 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: also received this message from Dawn and Wisconsin. She says, 668 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 2: good day, Joshua. She is so she bought an electrom ring, 669 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 2: and she said, I am so pleased with my ring. 670 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 2: So far, I've noticed interactions go more smoothly. I am 671 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 2: a massage therapist and for the last twenty seven years, 672 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 2: really can't wear rings. This past Saturday, after work, I 673 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 2: put it back on, and I noticed drivers were extremely 674 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,240 Speaker 2: friendly and courteous on the road and at four way stops, 675 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 2: giving me the right of way when clearly it was 676 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 2: their turn. And during my work day I've been putting 677 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 2: the ring on a necklace to keep it close. Last 678 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 2: night I had to pick someone up afterwards. It was 679 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 2: after nine when I left. What should have been twenty 680 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 2: minutes ended up being over sixty minutes of driving around, 681 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,800 Speaker 2: getting lost, being in some sketchy areas. The person's phone 682 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 2: was dead, so I couldn't call. At some point I 683 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 2: realized I forgot to put the ring on my finger, 684 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 2: and I regrouped, put on the ring, I connected to 685 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 2: the elements, put on the GPS, and decided to go home. 686 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 2: And that's when the pickup person managed to give me 687 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 2: a call and everything sorted itself out. And she says, anyway, 688 00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 2: the purpose of me writing this is are you you're 689 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 2: going to have other electron products coming out, And she 690 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,839 Speaker 2: goes on to inquire about that. She said, so far, 691 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 2: I've even had some luck with scratch off tickets. I 692 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 2: just like the energetic feel from wearing the ring. Thanks Don, 693 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,399 Speaker 2: you know what, Thank you for sending that feedback. Don, 694 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 2: that's a very interesting question.
