The Book of 19 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: the Damned and Charles Fort I'm talking about a book 20 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: that was published in nineteen nineteen and here is what 21 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: inspired me to present this topic at this time. Right now, 22 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: as I speak, I have a fat gray rubber frog 23 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: in a clear display case with dramatic lights shining on 24 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: it here in my house. 25 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 4: Now. 26 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: This frog is about twelve inches long. He's all stretched 27 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: out three or four inches thick around the middle. He 28 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: looks pretty ragged. He's had a rough day. And this 29 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: is a screen used prop from one of my favorite movies. 30 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: Can you guess what it is? I bet some of 31 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: you know immediately. I'm talking about a film that came 32 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: out in nineteen ninety nine called Magnolia. This was a drama, written, directed, 33 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: and co produced by Paul Thomas Anderson, the same guy 34 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: who made the movie Boogie Nights. And this movie has 35 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: just an all star ensemble cast, Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, 36 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: William H. Macy, Julianne Moore. I mean, the list goes 37 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: on and on, and it's as an epic mosaic of 38 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and meaning in 39 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: the San Fernando Valley. I know that sounds really boring, 40 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: but the way it's put together is brilliant. So you 41 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: have all of these separate little adventures that you know 42 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: in sagas that people are having. And sorry, here's a 43 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: spoiler for you, but hey, the movie did come out 44 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: what twenty five years ago, so if you haven't seen 45 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: it by now, sorry, At the end, it's almost like 46 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: all the stories of these characters kind of converge on 47 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: this one night where there's a lot of drama happening, 48 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: and then out of the blue, the most unexpected thing 49 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: in the world happens. There is this rain of frogs 50 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: from the sky. It's extremely bizarre, it's very memorable. I 51 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it in 52 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: any other movie. And that was apparently inspired by the 53 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: work of the American author Charles Fort, who are going 54 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: to talk about here momentarily. But you know, that whole 55 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: movie has kind of a bit of a paranormal and 56 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: synchronistic thread that runs through it. And so, I, even 57 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: though I loved the movie, I never I never thought 58 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: about getting one of those prop frogs, because I'm sure 59 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: they made thousands of them to drop on the set. 60 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: These are physical effects. Okay, this is not cgi. I 61 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: never thought about getting one of those until recently I 62 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: was watching online this Hollywood prop auction and one of 63 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: those things popped up and I was like, well, it 64 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: caught me off guard, so and it was gone so quickly, 65 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: I didn't even get a chance to bid on it. 66 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: But then I went out and I found another one 67 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: and I bought that one, And so I have this 68 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: four ten prop. Because work that is sort of inspired 69 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 1: by the books of Charles fort are called four ten. 70 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: It's spun off into a whole genre, and a lot 71 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: of people think of his work as being the core 72 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: of what guys like myself do today. A lot of 73 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: people consider him to be the godfather of paranormal researchers. 74 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: And you know, when I was growing up young, I 75 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: remember I would read the fourteen Times, which was a 76 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: publication out of England which was based upon just weird 77 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: stuff that they called forty and I actually got an 78 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: article of some kind published in there at one point 79 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: when I was young, and it was a big honor. 80 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: And then actually recently I think maybe like last year, 81 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: I won an award from the fourteen Film Festival in 82 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: England for a short film that I made, which you 83 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: can watch on YouTube called o UFOs. But anyway, back 84 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: to the Man of the hour. Here Charles Fort. This guy, Okay, 85 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 1: he was born. Let's see. He was born on August 86 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: six of eighteen seventy four in Albany, New York, and 87 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: he died on May third of nineteen thirty two at 88 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: the age of fifty seven. Now, this guy, I mean, 89 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to give you his bio of all 90 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: the weird things that he introduced the world to that 91 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: are commonplace now. But let me just tell you something 92 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: that gave me goosebumps. I started thinking about what I 93 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: wanted my next podcast to be, and I saw the 94 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: frog and I go, you know what, I've always wanted 95 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: to do a thing about Charles Fort, kind of explain 96 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: to people who he was and why he did and 97 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: why he did it best I can. And I didn't know, 98 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: you know, like a lot of the dates and stuff. 99 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: So I went and I looked him up, and I 100 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: saw that he died on May third of nineteen thirty two, 101 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: and it gave me goosebumps, because then I looked at 102 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: the calendar and I realized that this podcast was scheduled 103 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: to be released on May third of twenty twenty four, 104 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: ninety two years ago he died. He would approve of this. 105 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: That's what I knew. Like, oh, okay, I meant to 106 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: put this podcast out on this date, fifty seven years 107 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: old when he died in the Bronx. I'll tell you 108 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: later how he died. You know, if you look at 109 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: a picture of him, he looks a heck of a 110 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: lot like Teddy Roosevelt. He's got the spectacles of the 111 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: mustache and the well groomed, parted hair. And I mean 112 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people who didn't know any better would 113 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: look at an old black and white picture of Charles 114 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: Fort and say, yeah, that's Teddy Roosevelt. And his books. 115 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: He published a bunch of different books, but his first 116 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: nonfiction book, the one that made him famous, was called 117 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: The Book of the Damned, and it's often considered the 118 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: original classic of paranormal exploration. And on the back of 119 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: it here it says, welcome to a record of the damned. 120 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: By damned, wrote Charles Fort and nineteen nineteen, I mean 121 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: the excluded, Okay, so that's what he's talking about. By damned, 122 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of 123 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: the data that science has excluded. Fort's survey of the 124 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: Unknown was one of the first to expose modern people 125 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: to visitors from space, monsters, poultrygeist and floating islands. Frogs 126 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: fall from the sky, Mysterious airships take flight in an 127 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: age before the airplane, people disappear, reappear, and spontaneously combust. 128 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: This volume reintroduces the central and most influential work of 129 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Fort's career, in which he pushed us to ask what 130 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: is out there. The blurb that they give about his 131 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: life says he made his life's work the study of 132 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: unexplained phenomena. And although his writing attracted controversy, Fort was 133 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: celebrated in The New York Times, et cetera. It says 134 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: his name was made into an adjective for tien to 135 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: describe range events a lasting influence on science fiction as 136 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: well as science. Let me give you a more a 137 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: little bit more of a thorough bio here from about 138 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: the author in this book I'm holding in my hands, 139 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: called the Book of the Damned. It says he made 140 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: his life's work the study of unexplained phenomena. After achieving 141 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: modest success as a short story writer and novelist, Fort 142 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: began studying a nomalist phenomena, and in nineteen nineteen he 143 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: published his landmark of paranormal exploration, The Book of the Damned, 144 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: which influenced generations of writers. Fort moved to London in 145 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty four to consult the archives at the British Museum, 146 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: then returned to the United States in nineteen twenty six 147 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: at the New York Public Library. He continued his research 148 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: into spontaneous combustion, spaceships, poltergeist, and other experiences and events 149 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: that had been written off by science. Fort published three 150 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: additional books on the unexplained, what was called New Lands, 151 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: the other was called Low l and one was called 152 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Wild Talents. So when we come back from our break, 153 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a more detailed overview of 154 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: how he lived his life. And then, perhaps more importantly, 155 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to actually read to you some portions, some 156 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: very brief portions of his book, The Book of the Damned. 157 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: And it's a huge volume, really, it's four hundred pages. 158 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: And he had a very particular style of writing. He 159 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: wrote like a man truly obsessed, Okay, And I mean 160 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy, though, who was so innovative. 161 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: I mean, he coined the term teleportation. Okay, this came 162 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: from him, and you know, he used a lot of 163 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: the phrases that we now consider commonplace, and so it's 164 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: very interesting to go back and read some of his 165 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: actual words. So we're going to do that when we 166 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: come back, and I'll help you understand a little bit 167 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: more about, you know, not only sort of this godfather 168 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: of modern day paranormal research, but also sort of how 169 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: we are not actually perhaps as advanced as we think 170 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: we are. There were people like Ford thinking about these 171 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: same strange mysteries so long ago and doing it in 172 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: a very insightful and thoughtful way.

Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio 203 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am 204 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: your host, the Wizard of Weird Joshua P. Warren beaming 205 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, 206 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, where every day is golden and every night 207 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: a silver. A Gietato Zume and I have a feeling 208 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: that Charles Fort was speaking to me from the grave, 209 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: from the spirit realm, and inspiring me to present this 210 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: podcast for you that is being released on the anniversary 211 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: of his death. Let me tell you a little bit 212 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: more about how he lived his life. Charles Hoy Fort 213 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: born in Albany, New York, eighteen seventy four of Dutch ancestry. 214 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: His father, a grocer, was an authoritarian, and in his 215 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: unpublished autobiography, Fort mentions the physical abuse that he endured 216 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: from his father. One of Fort's biographers suggested that his 217 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: distrust of authority began in his treatment as a child. 218 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: Fort devi out a strong sense of independence during his 219 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: early years. As a young adult, he wanted to be 220 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: a naturalist, collecting seashells, minerals, and birds, and although he 221 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: was described as curious and intelligent, he was not a 222 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: good student. He was self taught, but his knowledge was considerable, 223 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: and he did an enormous amount of extensive reading at 224 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: age eighteen, Fort left New York to embark on a 225 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: world tour to quote put some capital in the bank 226 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: of experience end quote. He traveled through the Western United States, Scotland, 227 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: and England until becoming ill in Southern Africa. When he 228 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: returned home, he was nursed by Anna Filing, whom he 229 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: had known since childhood. Well then he married her. They 230 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: were married on October twenty sixth of eighteen ninety six 231 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: at an Episcopal church. For a few years, the newly 232 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: married couple lived in poverty in the Bronx while Fort 233 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: tried to earn a living writing stories for newspapers and magazines, 234 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: and in nineteen oh six he began to collect accounts 235 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: of anomalies. His uncle, Frank died in nineteen sixteen, and 236 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: a modest inheritance gave Fort enough money to quit his 237 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: various day jobs in write full time. In nineteen seventeen, 238 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: his brother Clarence died and his portion of the same 239 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: inheritance was divided between Fort and his other brother, Raymond. 240 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: Fort's experience as a journalist, coupled with his wit and nature, 241 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: prepared him for his real life work ridiculing the pretentiousness 242 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: of scientific positivism. Positivism. So what that means is it's 243 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: a tendency of journalists and editors and you know, editors 244 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: of newspapers and science journals to rationalize things instead of 245 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: taking at face value what they have, what they've found, 246 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: the data. And so he, you know, he wrote a 247 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: few short stories and tried his hands at novels, and 248 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: then he actually would often get discouraged and burn his manuscripts. 249 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: But the book that changed his life, The Book of 250 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: the Damned, his first nonfiction book, came out in nineteen nineteen, 251 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: and after that he kept writing nonfiction. It was a 252 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: very successful book. Fort and Anna lived intermittently in London 253 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: between nineteen twenty and twenty eight so Fort could carry 254 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: out research in the reading room of the British Museum, 255 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,239 Speaker 1: and although born in Albany, he lived most of his 256 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: life in the Bronx. He was, like his wife, fond 257 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: of movies, and often took her from their Ryer Avenue 258 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: apartment to a movie theater nearby, stopping at an adjacent 259 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: newsstand for an armful of various newspapers. He frequented the 260 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: parks near the Bronx, where he would sit and sift 261 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: through piles of clippings. He often wrote the subway down 262 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: to the main public library on Fifth Avenue, where he 263 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: spent many hours reading scientific journals, newspapers, and periodicals from 264 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: around the world. Ford also had literary friends who gathered 265 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: at various apartments, including his own, to drink and talk. 266 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Here's how he died. Suffering from poor health and failing insight. 267 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Fort was pleasantly surprised to find himself the subject of 268 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: a cult following people started sending him stories, but slowly 269 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: he started feeling worse and more ill. I don't know 270 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: exactly what his symptoms were, but he didn't trust doctors 271 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: and he did not seek medical help for his failing health. 272 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: Insaid He Around this time was focusing on writing his 273 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: book called Wild Tout Talents, and he finally collapsed on 274 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: May third of nineteen thirty two. Was rushed to the 275 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: Royal Hospital, and later that same day Fort's publisher visited 276 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: him to show him the advanced copies of Wild Talents. 277 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: Four hours later, Fort died, probably of leukemia. He was 278 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: interred in the Fort family plot in Albany, New York. 279 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: How about that the last thing you got to see 280 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: was this book that he worked himself to death. Over 281 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: for more than thirty years, Charles Fort visited libraries in 282 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: New York City in London, assidiously reading scientific journals, newspapers, magazines, 283 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: collecting notes on phenomena that were not explained well by 284 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: the accepted theories and beliefs of the time. He took 285 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of notes during his lifetime, and sometimes 286 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: in his note taking he would get depressed, discouraged, burn 287 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: his work, start all over again. And when you look 288 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: at his actual writing, and I have copies of all 289 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: of his books, but this is the first one, the 290 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: Book of the Damned, And again it's huge when you 291 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: read his books, and I'm going to read you some passages. 292 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: In my opinion, he wrote like a man, like I said, 293 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: he wrote like a man truly obsessed. Though his prolific 294 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: books are filled with a procession of specific citations of sources, names, 295 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: and dates, his writing style is also kind of rambling 296 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: and bloated. It's not necessarily the easiest thing to read. 297 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: But in his commentary he's digging as deep as he 298 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: can below the surface of reality and the psyche and 299 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: vast ancient cosmic mysteries and exploring the relationship between it all. 300 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: So he was obviously a kind of genius, and he 301 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: was talking about all these things that seemed impossible in 302 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: a time before anybody knew about quantum physics, which now 303 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: kind of states that, well, anything is possible. In his 304 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: book here, Book of the Damned, one of the things 305 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: he starts out by saying, is about one hundred years ago, 306 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: if anyone was so credulous as to think that stones 307 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: had ever fallen from the sky like meteorites, he was 308 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: reasoned with, in the first place, there are no stones 309 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: of the sky. Therefore no stones can fall from the sky, 310 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: or nothing more reasonable or scientific or logical than that 311 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: could be said upon any subject. The only trouble is 312 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: the universal trouble that the major premise is not real, 313 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: or is intermediate somewhere between realness and unrealness. Then he 314 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: goes on to talk about this scientist in seventeen seventy 315 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: two who was going out and studying stones that had 316 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: supposedly fallen from the sky hot stones, and said, look, 317 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: there are no stones of the sky, so there's no 318 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: way that stones can fall. Fort says, this man believed 319 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: that only lightning striking a stone and heating it and 320 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: melting it could be explained. The scientist named Levosier said, quote, 321 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: this absolutely proved the stone had not fallen, but had 322 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: been struck by lightning. So authoritatively, falling stones were damned, 323 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: and that's the way it was for many, many years. 324 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: And he uses this as an example of the problem 325 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: with a lot of scientific dogma. And he talks mainly 326 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: throughout this book about everything you can imagine falling from 327 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: the sky, and of course he starts with stones, but 328 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,239 Speaker 1: he works into flesh and slime and coins, and just 329 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: like everything you can imagine. He says, the living things 330 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: that have come down to this earth and attempts to 331 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: preserve them. Small frogs and toads, for instance, never have 332 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: fallen from the sky. But we're on the ground in 333 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: the first place. But that there have been such falls 334 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: up from one place in a whirlwind and down in 335 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: another does not make complete sense. And he goes on 336 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: to talk about if there were just like water spouts 337 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: that were picking up, say, frogs, and then dumping them 338 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: down somewhere else out of the sky, how come there 339 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: would be no tadpoles. He says, there's not one report 340 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: of tadpoles, and he actually says there's not one report 341 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: of gigantic frogs either, just a very particular type of 342 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: frog gets picked up. And he's perplexed by this. Why 343 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: that you know you don't have tadpoles being picked up. 344 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: As he continues to go into this, I mean we're 345 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: already into page one ninety four, he writes, our antagonism 346 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: is not to science, but to the attitude of the 347 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: sciences that they have finally realized, or to belief instead 348 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: of acceptance, to the insufficiency, which, as we have seen 349 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: over and over amounts to paltriness of scientific dogmas and standards. 350 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: Or if several persons start out to Chicago and get 351 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: the Buffalo and one be under the delusion that Buffalo 352 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 1: is Chicago, that one will be a resistance to the 353 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: progress of the others. Very important point of view there 354 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: and again he writes in a weird way, at least 355 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: reading it all these years later, but he says, the 356 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: problem is not science, but the attitude of sciences that 357 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: have become beliefs or dogmas. Okay, we come back. We're 358 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: going to get into some very weird footprints. Giants and 359 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: that kind of thing which has a special connection to 360 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: where I am right now here in Nevada. As a 361 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: matter of fact, as we explore some of the thoughts 362 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: and the ways of thinking of the great Charles Fort. 363 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on 364 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, 365 00:25:30,160 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome 366 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast. 367 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: I am Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, 368 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: And this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah, 369 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: it's not easy to read the prolific works of Charles Fort. 370 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, one of his critics named Wilson, 371 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: called Fort's writing style quote atrocious and almost unreadable, and 372 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: yet despite his objections to Fort's prose, he allowed that 373 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: quote the facts are certainly astonishing enough, though end quote 374 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: also said, there's the feeling that no matter how honest 375 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: scientists think they are, they are still influenced by various 376 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: unconscious assumptions that prevent them from attaining true objectivity. So 377 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: Fort's principle goes something like people with a psychological need 378 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: to believe in marvels are no more prejudiced and gullible 379 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: than people with a psychological need not to believe in marvels. 380 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: And sure enough, I mean, that's what saves Charles Fort's 381 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: work is just this incredible sourcing in citation, and the 382 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: things that he was writing about, most of them turned 383 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: out to be legitimate stuff. I mean, we've verified frogs 384 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: do rain, and we still don't know exactly why that happens, 385 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: side to say, probably water spouts or you know, something 386 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: like that, but it still doesn't explain the tadpole thing. 387 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: Examples of the stuff that Fort referred to as would 388 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: be considered you know, occult, supernatural, paranormal. Again, he invented 389 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: the word teleportation. He talked about falls of all kinds 390 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: of things, organic and inorganic, spontaneous human combustion, ball lightning, 391 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: that's a term that he used a lot. He talked 392 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: about poultergeists, levitation, UFOs unexplained disappearances, the extraterrestrial hypothesis. And 393 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: this is really interesting going back to his book, listen 394 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: to what he says, this guy had he had the 395 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: wherewithal to write this back in those days, after he's 396 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: been talking for almost two hundred pages about weird stuff. 397 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: He says, quote, I think we are property. I should 398 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: say we belong to something that once upon a time 399 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: this earth was no man's land, that other worlds explored 400 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: and colonized here and fought among themselves for possession, but 401 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: then now owned by something, That something owns this earth. 402 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: All others warned off. I suspect that, after all we 403 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: are useful, that among contesting claimants, adjustment has occurred, or 404 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: that something now has a legal right to us by 405 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: force or by having paid out analogs of beads for 406 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: us to former more primitive owners of us. All others 407 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: off that all this has been known, perhaps for ages 408 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: to certain ones upon this earth, accult or order, members 409 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: of which function like bellweathers to the rest of us, 410 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: or as superiors or overseers, directing us in accordance with 411 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: instructions received from somewhere else in our mysterious usefulness. But 412 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: I accepted, in the past, before proprietorship was established, inhabitants 413 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: of a host of other worlds have dropped here, hopped here, wafted, sailed, flown, motored, 414 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: walked here, for all I know, been pulled here, been pushed, 415 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: have come singly, have come in enormous numbers, have visited occasionally, 416 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: have visited periodically for hunting, trading, replenishing, harems, mining, have 417 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: been unable to stay here, have established colonies here, have 418 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: been lost here far advanced peoples or things and primitive 419 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: peoples or whatever they were. Well, then he brings this up. 420 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: He's talking about some of the weird, you know, fossils, 421 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: and he says, how about the footprints and the sandstone 422 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: near Carson, Nevada. Each print eighteen to twenty inches long. 423 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: That's according to the American Journal of Science. He gives 424 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: a citation. He says, these footprints are very clear and 425 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: well defined. Reproduction of them in the journal blah blah blah. 426 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: The size of the size of these foot Prince, and 427 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: especially the width between the right and left series, are 428 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: strong evidence they were not made by men, as has 429 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: been so generally supposed. That's interesting because just recently there 430 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: was an article in the New York Post a follow 431 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: up on that story. Hopefully I'll have time to read 432 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: that to you. Moving round along, he. 433 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 4: Talks about, Oh goodness, he gets into poltergeists and stones 434 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 4: being thrown thrown around. 435 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: This is really weird. He actually, I think I need 436 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: to read this whole thing. He's got a report in 437 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: here from the Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, and 438 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: this goes back to eighteen seventy. This is an official 439 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: report by Captain F. W. Banner, and he says, this 440 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: is quote now, upon the twenty second of March eighteen 441 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: at such and such latitude and longitude, the sailors of 442 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: the Lady of the Lake, that's the name of a 443 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: ship saw a remarkable object or quote cloud in the sky, 444 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: and they reported it to the captain. According to Captain Banner, 445 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: it was a cloud of circular form with an included 446 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: semicircle divided into four parts, the central dividing shaft beginning 447 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: at the center of the circle and extending far outward 448 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: curving backward. Don't worry if that didn't makes sense to you, 449 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,959 Speaker 1: because I'm going to explain in a second. There's an illustration. 450 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: So there's this big, weird gray thing. It says geometricity 451 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: and complexity and stability, and the small likelihood of a 452 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: cloud maintaining such diversity of features, to say nothing of 453 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: appearance of organic form. The thing traveled from a point 454 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: at about twenty degrees above the horizon to a point 455 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: about eighty degrees above. Then it settled down to the northeast. 456 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: It was light gray in color, much lower than the clouds. 457 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: Whatever it was, it traveled against the wind. It came 458 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: up obliquely against the wind, and finally settled down right 459 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: in the wind's eye. For half an hour the form 460 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: was visible, and when it finally disappeared, that was not 461 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: because it disintegrated like a cloud, but because it was 462 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: lost to sight in the evening darkness. And Captain Banner 463 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: drew this picture of it, and honestly, it looks this thing. 464 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: It looks kind of like a stingray. There's a circle 465 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: and then there's sort of a hooked tail. You could 466 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: almost use your imagination and say it reminds you a 467 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: bit of the starship Enterprise. But it definitely has this 468 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: very weird circular shape that you know, you could describe 469 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: as being like a saucer with an antenna or something. 470 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: But you know, that's going back to when I say, 471 00:33:52,520 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: eighteen seventy so in conclusion of this massive, massive book, 472 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: I think this is one of the most significant lines 473 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: that he wrote. It's just one sentence if a single 474 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: instance of anything be disregarded by a system. Our own 475 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: attitude is that a single instance is a powerless thing. 476 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: So he's saying, if if just one instance of this 477 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: stuff is true, but we just blow it off because 478 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: we you know, well we can't explain it. Well, then 479 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: our attitude is that a single instances has no power. Well, 480 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense, does it. And this shows you 481 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: the incredibly complex mindset that this guy had back then 482 00:34:53,719 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: regarding how to understand, how to understand I guess the 483 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: flaws and the limitations of the scientific method. And just 484 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: last month in the New York Post, there was this 485 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: article here that fort would would love to have read, 486 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: and it says scientists still baffled from giant human skeletons 487 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: up to ten feet tall decades after initial discovery. This 488 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: was written by Snajana Farbarov, published April fourth of twenty 489 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: twenty four. A series of mysterious giant skeletons up to 490 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: ten feet tall, reportedly discovered in and around the Vatic 491 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: Caves last century, dubbed the Giants of Lovelock, are still 492 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: baffling scientists decades later. The claims about supersized humans who 493 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: roam the area around Lovelock, a remote town ninety miles 494 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: northeast of Reno, thousands of years ago are rooted in 495 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: Native American lore, which tells a fierce, redheaded, pale skinned 496 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: giant to arrive from Central America by boat and attack 497 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: local tribes. And of course it talks about how that 498 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: these were cannibals, they were eating the natives, so they 499 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: were all going to war. And finally, one day, all 500 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 1: of these these Native Americans, they were able to surround 501 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: this cave and burn them all to death inside that cave, 502 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: says The first foray into the Lovelock Cave was made 503 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: in nineteen eleven, when a pair of miners searching for 504 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: guano or bat excrement allegedly unearthed sixty human skeletons, some 505 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: between seven and eight feet tall, but nobody knows what 506 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: happened to these remains. However, two subsequent excavations were carried 507 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: out in nineteen twelve and nineteen twenty four and brought 508 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: to light thousands of ancient artifacts, among them a well 509 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: worn sandal measuring and astonishing fifteen inches in length, which 510 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: is the equivalent of a modern day size twenty nine shoe. 511 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: For comparison. NBA star Shaquille O'Neill, who stands seven feet 512 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: one wears size twenty two shoes. So Shaquille O'Neill wears 513 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: twenty two and they were pulling shoes out of there 514 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: twenty nine inches long. They actually have these on display 515 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: in the museum. Radio carbon dating has placed some of 516 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: these bone fragments and material back to twenty thirty and VC. 517 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: When we come back, I want to tell you about 518 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: an experiment you can participate in. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. 519 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast 520 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be right back. 521 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of 522 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,280 Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM 523 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Larren. 524 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: And what do you think about Charles fort saying that 525 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:54,919 Speaker 1: he thinks we are owned, that we are property? Sure 526 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 1: feels that way to me a lot. How about you? 527 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: I would explain a lot. And how funny it is 528 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: to think of, you know, all those years ago when 529 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: he was writing that studying this stuff in the eighteen hundreds. 530 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is long before we had even thought 531 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: about going to the Moon or getting satellites out there, 532 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: and he felt that way even then. Is a lot 533 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: of what we just see an illusion. You know, I 534 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: have this story, and I've probably told you this before. 535 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: Just forgive me if I'm repeating myself, but I just 536 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: it always seems so appropriate to bring this up when 537 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: I talk about these weird four tea and phenomena. Years ago, 538 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: I was hired to be a consultant for a Warner 539 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: Brothers major motion picture called The Apparition, and as part 540 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: of that, I shot a bunch of DVD extras and 541 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: like Blu Ray extras, and at one point this was 542 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: a horror movie. So they flew me to Los Angeles 543 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: where they were filming in that area, and they wanted 544 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: me to be on the actual movie set, and then 545 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: they were going to interview me about the non fiction 546 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: part of ghosts and apparitions while you could see the 547 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: fictional movie being filmed in the background. So I'm just 548 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: off on the side of the set kind of watching things, 549 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: and I had let's see, there was Ashley Green in it, 550 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: and Sebastians stand and they were running around screaming and stuff. 551 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, so at one point here I am out 552 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:39,359 Speaker 1: in sort of this country area in you know, southern California, 553 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: and they had apparently gone out and rented somebody's house 554 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 1: for this shoot. And it's in the middle of a 555 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: really big yard at the end of a long driveway. 556 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: And at one point I'm watching this giant crew. There's 557 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: hundreds of people milling around on this crew. It's at 558 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: night time and they're setting up all this complex life. 559 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: And at one point, this woman who I guess was 560 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: a lighting lady. She she comes walking up and she 561 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: looks down at this rock on the ground and she 562 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: gets very she looks very perplexed, and she says to 563 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: this grip, do you know if that's a real rock 564 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 1: or a prop rock? Because if that's a real rock, 565 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: then I want to move it. But if it's a 566 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: prop rock, well I don't want to touch it. And 567 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: the rip says, geez, I don't know. Let me go 568 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: get the set supervisor. Okay, So we wait around and 569 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: then so the set supervisor comes back. Is this a 570 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: real rock or a prop rock? 571 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 4: Oh? 572 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: Good, question, says to set supervis. So then they go 573 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: and get the prop master, or they're trying to and 574 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: they can't find the prop master, And so finally they 575 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: get ahold of the third a D and he doesn't 576 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 1: know if it's real. And then they get the second 577 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: AD and he doesn't know if it's real. So finally 578 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: they just give up on it and they just work 579 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 1: around it. And to this day, I imagine nobody knows 580 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: whether there is a real rock or a prop rock 581 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:12,959 Speaker 1: sitting in the yard outside this house. And that's why 582 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,479 Speaker 1: people in show business are so often out of touch 583 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: with reality. That is a very good example though, of 584 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: how can you know how confused we can get about 585 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: what's real and what's not living in this day and age, 586 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 1: especially with we you know, we have cyber tech and 587 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,879 Speaker 1: AI and holograms, and you know how much of this 588 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: is real? How much of this is just some big 589 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: matrix that we're wandering around in. I think that may 590 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: be the key, of course, to how manifestation works. And 591 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: so I've been teasing this for a little while. Those 592 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: of you who bought an electrom ring are going to 593 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: be invited, and I'm inviting you right now to participate 594 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: in an experiment with me. This is only for those 595 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: of you who have an electron ring. Because if you 596 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: bought an electron ring, it's not only a physical thing, 597 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: it also makes you a member of a club which 598 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: we call the electron ring. So if you have an 599 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: electron ring, you are a member of the electron ring. 600 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: And here is what I would like for you to 601 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 1: do on Thursday of May thirtieth of twenty twenty four, 602 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: and you write this down somewhere, okay, on Thursday of 603 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:32,839 Speaker 1: May thirtieth, Thursday, May thirtieth of twenty twenty four, at 604 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: five pm New York time. That's just a reference point 605 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,080 Speaker 1: for you, okay, So whatever the time is for you, 606 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: Like for me, it'll be was that two pm? Yeah, 607 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: so that'll be two pm for me and five pm 608 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 1: in New York. If you have an electron ring, put 609 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: it on, make a fist. Sit there, close your eyes, 610 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: and I want you to think about their UFOs appearing 611 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: all around the world. Over the next three days, we're 612 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: going to try this as an experiment. We're going to 613 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: work our chops here and see if we the electroum 614 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 1: ring can create a lot of UFO sidings when we 615 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: all focus together on our rings. So here's what you 616 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: have to do again, Thursday May thirtieth, twenty twenty four, 617 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: five pm. Take a moment, you know, a couple of minutes. 618 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: Put on your ring and sit there and envision it 619 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: and meditate on it, and then let's see what happens 620 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: the next few days. If you forget about it and 621 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,439 Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, I missed it, it's not five pm, 622 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: that's okay, just do it sometime that day if you 623 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: can't do it at five, But five is our center 624 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: point that we're working with. Okay, we'll see what happens. 625 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 1: Why I put this out there, the whole world's going 626 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: to be able to see. And I'll send you an 627 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: e newsletter and remind you about this as well. But 628 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: if this works out for us, then we're going to 629 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: do bigger and better things. I'll read you an email. 630 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: I got real quick when it comes to manifestation. This 631 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: came to me from a woman named Gloria. She says, 632 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: Dear Joshua, I was so excited to learn of you 633 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 1: on the Jeff Mara podcast. I was so happy to 634 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: see your sacred geometry manifesting sigils, and how generous you 635 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,319 Speaker 1: were to let us copy them. So after I looked 636 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:28,839 Speaker 1: at them On Monday, a cheese truck turned over near 637 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: our town of one hundred and twenty one people, and 638 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: people were telling us they were giving away free cheese, 639 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: so we got some and took some around to our friends. 640 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: The next day, someone ran into a takeito truck and 641 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: spilled some on the highway, so they got some of 642 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: those for free. Then my husband found a one hundred 643 00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: dollars bill on the floor, and let's see, told the 644 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: boss she dropped it, and she gave it to him 645 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: and told told him to give it to me for 646 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 1: helping her. Okay, she says, Then I got paid for 647 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: painting some windows. Blah blah blah. She goes on to say, 648 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: now she's gotten this other amazing job to build out 649 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: a garden. She's saying, you are right, Blessings can come 650 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: in so many different forms. I thought about putting the 651 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 1: sigils on an abandoned building so the people can see 652 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: them as they pass us and be blessed too. And 653 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,320 Speaker 1: I haven't forgot about what you said about sharing either. 654 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: Need a little more time. Your friend Glorious and I 655 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 1: wrote her Gloria and I wrote her back, and I said, well, 656 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you know all this good stuff's happening 657 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,439 Speaker 1: and you're getting free cheese and takitos. But I hope 658 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: the folks on the truck were okay. You know what 659 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: a scary people like one of those you know, monkey 660 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: paw things. Well they all died on the truck, but 661 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 1: we got free cheese. No, no, I'm sure everybody was fine. 662 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: So you see, that's the attitude. That's what I try 663 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: to tell people. When you get into this manifestation stuff, 664 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 1: don't fix eight too strongly on exactly how you think 665 00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: things are going to manifest, because if you do that, 666 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: you limit the options the universe can give you to 667 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: bring things to you, often in ways that you could 668 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: have never imagined on your own. And if you want 669 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: to experiment with different ways to manifest, that's why the 670 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,320 Speaker 1: best thing you can do is just go to Joshua 671 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: Pwarren dot com and just start clicking around.

Even if you're not going to buy anything, 674 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 1: it's interesting. Sometimes you can just look at these inventions 675 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: in the Curiosity Shop and that will inspire you, and 676 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: that will actually make you want to that'll give you ideas, 677 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: and sometimes you can start manifesting things just because you 678 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 1: start thinking about the objects in the Curiosity Shop.
