Speaker 2: I'm Joshua P. Warren and I'm in the field on
Speaker 2: a secret mission right now. You'll hear all about it
Speaker 2: when I get back, but for now, please enjoy this
Speaker 2: best of edition of Strange Things. Get ready to be
Speaker 2: amazed by the wizard of Weird. This is Strange Things
Speaker 2: with Joshua E.
Speaker 1: Warren. I am Joshua FE Warren, and each week on
Speaker 1: this show, I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content,
Speaker 1: news exercises and weird experiments you can do at home,
Speaker 1: and a lot more. On this edition of the program,
Speaker 1: It's Little Person time again.
Speaker 2: That's right. I am recording this in March of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three. So I've decided to get an early jump
Speaker 2: on celebrating Saint Patrick's day up the Airy Mountain, down
Speaker 2: the Rushy Glen. We dare not go a hunting for
Speaker 2: fear of little men. So of course I'm talking about
Speaker 2: leprechauns and the like. And I figure, you know, it's
Speaker 2: better to perhaps have you listen to this a little
Speaker 2: early rather than ride on Saint Patrick's so you'll have
Speaker 2: some time to enjoy the content. And I tell you what,
Speaker 2: I'm also going to do something on this show that
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever done before. I am going
Speaker 2: to play a complete song for you. And this is
Speaker 2: an original by UFO Phil. And if you listen to
Speaker 2: Coast to Coast am with George Nori, you will know
Speaker 2: that he is a staple of the show. He has
Speaker 2: a very distinctive voice. He's a great musician and sing
Speaker 2: and he composed this song that George has played, oh gosh,
Speaker 2: I don't know hundreds of times. I think he usually
Speaker 2: plays it at the end of maybe like Friday Nights
Speaker 2: and it's uh and it's just called I'm listening to
Speaker 2: Coast to Coast and so UFO Phil has this song
Speaker 2: that I recently discovered called Larry the lunar Leprechaun. So
Speaker 2: I will be playing that for you on the show,
Speaker 2: with his permission. And so that's just a special fun thing.
Speaker 2: Another thing I'm going to do right up front here
Speaker 2: is something else that I've never done on a show.
Speaker 2: According to my DNA analysis, a good chunk of my
Speaker 2: DNA is Irish, also Scottish. So I decided I'm going
Speaker 2: to start off the show here with a shot of
Speaker 2: Irish whiskey. Yeah, And you know what, And if you
Speaker 2: have your favorite beverage nearby, go ahead and prepare it.
Speaker 2: We'll do a toast together. How about that? And so
Speaker 2: I just I don't drink liquor that much anymore. I
Speaker 2: used to when I was younger, growing up in Ashville,
Speaker 2: but now that I'm getting a little older, I find
Speaker 2: that often if I drink liquor, I may not feel
Speaker 2: too great the next day. But I think I can
Speaker 2: handle a shot of this. I just grabbed a bottle
Speaker 2: off of my bar here at home, and I'm in
Speaker 2: my home studio. I'm not going anywhere, so I can
Speaker 2: do this. I just might sound a little bit goofy
Speaker 2: the rest of the show. But wat's new there? What
Speaker 2: do we have here? This is cask matured kilbrin Irish whiskey,
Speaker 2: nice green bottle. It's got a red foil seal on it.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go ahead and pop this baby open.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and got my special shot glass here. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to go into that, but maybe someday I'll
Speaker 2: tell you about my special shot glass and maybe I'll
Speaker 2: even sell you one. You can drink whiskey like me.
Speaker 2: All right, So I'm gonna pour pour my shot of
Speaker 2: Irish whiskey to warm up for the show. And it
Speaker 2: is cold here, even though you know I'm in Las Vegas,
Speaker 2: but you'd be surprised how chilly it gets here in Vegas. Okay,
Speaker 2: there's my one shot, and uh okay, if you're ready,
Speaker 2: here we go. Here is one of the old Irish
Speaker 2: toasts I remember as you slide down the banister of life,
Speaker 2: May the splinters always point the right way. Ah whoo,
Speaker 2: smooth and toasty, yeah, certainly powerful. It's got that little
Speaker 2: Irish whiskey burn at the end. All right, I think
Speaker 2: I'm loosened up now. I'm ready to do a Saint
Speaker 2: Patrick's show. And I may as well start by doing
Speaker 2: something stupid and illogical. I think I'm going to debut
Speaker 2: a new segment on this show, and it's called and
Speaker 2: now I'm going to make my wife mad? Do you think?
Speaker 2: What do you think is that a good idea? Is
Speaker 2: that a segment just to make my wife mad? You
Speaker 2: can see that shot very quickly went into my bloodstream.
Speaker 2: So you know, hopefully she won't listen to this show.
Speaker 2: I just thought something happened recently that I thought was
Speaker 2: kind of funny. She's probably not gonna like the fact
Speaker 2: that I'm bringing this up on the show. But here
Speaker 2: we go. So I don't do a lot of TV
Speaker 2: filming anymore. I just don't have the time for it.
Speaker 2: I've told you that before. But I did agree to
Speaker 2: do a project recently out filming in the desert here,
Speaker 2: of course, in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is as a city,
Speaker 2: is an island in the middle of a desert. We're
Speaker 2: surrounded by miles and miles and miles of just descint land.
Speaker 2: That's why you have all the military testing and stuff
Speaker 2: out here. So I can't tell you the details. But
Speaker 2: this guy who's a producer in La he's a friend
Speaker 2: of mine. He's working on this project and it's you know,
Speaker 2: it has to do with UFOs. That's as much as
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. And so he came out here to
Speaker 2: film with me recently, and so Lauren and I got
Speaker 2: into our suv it's a Toyota four Runner, which we've
Speaker 2: had for a long time, and we drove way out
Speaker 2: into the desert to meet with this small crew. And
Speaker 2: so after I finished my filming part, we set our
Speaker 2: farewells and then we got back into our Forerunner and
Speaker 2: the battery was dead. And so at first I was like, like, well,
Speaker 2: that's just kind of weird because the battery is not
Speaker 2: that old, but this is a harsh climate, and I go, well,
Speaker 2: no problemo. I've got our super rugged survival box that
Speaker 2: I always keep in the car. I have this box.
Speaker 2: You know, I am enough of a prepper type that
Speaker 2: I've got a Ham radio in there because I have
Speaker 2: a Ham radio license. I have got a little battery
Speaker 2: that you can use to jump start your car if
Speaker 2: there's not another car around. I've got all kinds of
Speaker 2: you know, like some block supplies and survival blankets and
Speaker 2: first aid kits and walking talk. I mean, I got
Speaker 2: all this stuff, and of course there's jumper cables in there.
Speaker 2: So I was like, We're gonna be fine, no sweat.
Speaker 2: I had prepared for everything out in this harsh desert environment.
Speaker 2: But it turns out there was one one thing I
Speaker 2: had not prepared for. My beautiful wife Lauren took the
Speaker 2: kit out of the car. Oops. I did not prepare
Speaker 2: for that. And so yeah, and of course I'm like,
Speaker 2: you too, we have an emergency kit. That is the
Speaker 2: one thing that I cannot compensate for is the kit
Speaker 2: not being of the car. This is how reality works,
Speaker 2: isn't it. And she goes, well, it's your fault. I
Speaker 2: was like, how is that my fault? And she said
Speaker 2: that she went to the grocery store and bought a
Speaker 2: bunch of groceries that I had wanted, and so she
Speaker 2: took it out of the car to make room. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, but you could have put it back in. Look,
Speaker 2: you know that you can't win these kinds of arguments, guys.
Speaker 2: So here I was. I was like, all right, surely
Speaker 2: this film crew in their van, they probably have some
Speaker 2: jumper cables. Nope, they didn't have jumper cables. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, their shoot had almost been cursed. They'd
Speaker 2: had a lot of different problems along the way, which
Speaker 2: I won't get into. So here we are stranded in
Speaker 2: the desert without jumper cables, with my super duper survival
Speaker 2: box back at my house. But I must say that
Speaker 2: the person who saved the day was mister Jason Sarachi
Speaker 2: because he also was part of the shoot that day,
Speaker 2: and we were able to use his truck to drive
Speaker 2: to wherever we could finally find some jumper cables. Anyway,
Speaker 2: we got it solved. But it was kind of funny
Speaker 2: though that here we were in an area where a
Speaker 2: lot of strange phenomena had been occurring, a lot of
Speaker 2: big electrical signals, and you know, the battery gets zipped.
Speaker 2: I don't know that it seems like and you may
Speaker 2: not realize this. If you start working on a paranormally
Speaker 2: oriented show, and I mean UFOs, ghosts, psychic phenomena, CRYPTI,
Speaker 2: it's any of that stuff, then often there are things
Speaker 2: that will work against you. They're obstacles that you will face.
Speaker 2: So everything turned out well, and it was a great
Speaker 2: lesson learned to your survival kit doesn't do any good
Speaker 2: for you unless you have it. With you all right,
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, Lauren, but okay, now let's get ready
Speaker 2: to talk about Saint Patrick's Day and the little people,
Speaker 2: because you know my friend Jim Marris, he used to say,
Speaker 2: a little green man runs across the room at a
Speaker 2: party and one person says, look an alien. Another person says,
Speaker 2: look a leprechaun. Another person says, look a demon. Well
Speaker 2: what are these things? We've seen them all throughout history
Speaker 2: from different cultural points of view, but we interpret these
Speaker 2: beings in different ways. Coming up on our first break
Speaker 2: and you may or may not know that I have
Speaker 2: this brand new, one last chance item out there for you.
Speaker 2: Some of you were able to get a Buddhas stone
Speaker 2: a long time ago with a purple plate kit that
Speaker 2: was early on, and those are gone. Then some of
Speaker 2: you were lucky enough to get the Buddha stone wand
Speaker 2: now those are gone. But what you can get now,
Speaker 2: this is my last time offering this, the Buddhastone money
Speaker 2: magnet kit. Go right now to the Buddhastone dot com

Speaker 2: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 2: Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome
Speaker 2: back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Speaker 2: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, the Wizard
Speaker 2: of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain
Speaker 2: from my studio and Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where
Speaker 2: every day is golden and every night is silver. Yes,
Speaker 2: as we prepare for the Saint Patti's celebratory mood, get
Speaker 2: ready to dance a jig because here it is from
Speaker 2: UFO Phil, a song that I presume I will be
Speaker 2: listening to at least once a year from here on out.
Speaker 2: This is Larry the Lunar Leprechaun.
Speaker 4: Last year at the Saint Patrick's Bash, I was down
Speaker 4: at the pub keating bangers and nash. I met a guy.
Speaker 4: He was short, green and fat, with a big green
Speaker 4: antenna sticking out of his hat. He looked kind of
Speaker 4: Irish except for his mister spot ears secret. He said,
Speaker 4: my name is Larry. I came from the Moon to
Speaker 4: buy beer. Larry the Lunar Lepricaun one pyth again his head.
Speaker 4: Then he's gone. He busits the planet every years. He
Speaker 4: is the only place that has good beer. And Larry
Speaker 4: the Lepricand knows how to have a good time dude,
Speaker 4: but he never drinks so much that he won't be
Speaker 4: able to fly. And that night Larry started to talk
Speaker 4: about how the Moon has a shortage of barley and hops.
Speaker 4: They've got clovers and potatoes to spare. They serve shamrock shakes,
Speaker 4: but no beer. It's not fair. He looks like a
Speaker 4: spaceman except for his rainbow tattoo. He said, poor me
Speaker 4: a guinness, cause they don't have this.
Speaker 3: On the Moon.
Speaker 4: Marry the Lunar Leprica one point of guinness, and Ben
Speaker 4: King's gone. He visits the planet every year because Earth
Speaker 4: is the only place that has good here, and Larry
Speaker 4: the Leprikan knows how to have a good time, but
Speaker 4: he never drinks so much that he won't be able
Speaker 4: to fly. Marry the Lunar Leprica one point of guinness,
Speaker 4: and Ben King's gone. He's not an ordinary guy to
Speaker 4: a rainbow, a part of all the ship that fly.
Speaker 4: And Larry the Lepricon knows how to have a good time,
Speaker 4: but he never drinks so much that he won't be
Speaker 4: able to fly. And each year on Saint Patrick's Day,
Speaker 4: he'll be down at the pub, sitting in the same place.
Speaker 4: A quick beer and some bangers to go, a chat
Speaker 4: with some humans, and time to fly home. He looked
Speaker 4: kind of irish, except for his mister spock ears secret.
Speaker 4: He said, my name is Larry. I came from the
Speaker 4: Moon to buy beer, Marry the Lunar Lepricaun one pint
Speaker 4: a guinnis, and then he's gone. He visits the planet
Speaker 4: every year to Earth is the only place that serves creams, beer,
Speaker 4: Me the lunder Lepricaun one pint aginnis, and Ben He's gone,
Speaker 4: and Larry the Lepricon knows.
Speaker 2: How to have a good time.
Speaker 4: That he never drinks so much that he won't be
Speaker 4: able to never drink so much that game won't be
Speaker 4: able to never drink so much that he won't be
Speaker 4: able to fly. Ah.
Speaker 2: Yes, Larry the lunar Leprechaun. How can you not feel
Speaker 2: good when you listen to that, especially after a shot
Speaker 2: of Irish whiskey. Thank you, UFO Phil for letting us
Speaker 2: all enjoy your original creation there. And by the way,
Speaker 2: if you go to his website ufophil dot com, that's
Speaker 2: Phil spelled p h I l ufo phil dot com,
Speaker 2: it's very interesting. It says he's President of Earth, Ambassador
Speaker 2: to the Aliens, a really nice guy. But listen to this.
Speaker 2: It says UFO Phil feature film in development, and if
Speaker 2: you are interested in becoming involved with the UFO Phil
Speaker 2: feature film, he has an email address right there, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure he would be happy to hear from you,
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to see what he's gonna come
Speaker 2: up with. So go check that out at ufoviil dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, well, hopefully if you're not in the mood
Speaker 2: by now, I don't know what else I can do
Speaker 2: for you. And now, Look, I don't want this show
Speaker 2: to be redundant because I have had a lot of
Speaker 2: close friends tell me about having personal encounters with little people,
Speaker 2: and I have talked about all those stories before, so
Speaker 2: I'm not going to repeat them. If you want to
Speaker 2: hear those stories, go back, go way back and listen
Speaker 2: to episode twenty three of this Strange Things podcast and
Speaker 2: it's called are the Little People Real? Okay? Episode twenty three.
Speaker 2: And also keep in mind that if you just want
Speaker 2: to see a whole list of all the Strange Things
Speaker 2: shows and my descriptions of them, because sometimes my description
Speaker 2: in some cases is a little different than the description
Speaker 2: that's posted with the podcast, just go to Strain thingsshow
Speaker 2: dot com Strange Thingsshow dot com and you'll see the
Speaker 2: list of every single episode and what I think best
Speaker 2: describes that episode. So go back and listen to twenty three,
Speaker 2: episode twenty three if you really want to hear about
Speaker 2: people who have encountered them face to face and some
Speaker 2: theories about what they may be. But let's talk for
Speaker 2: now though, a little bit about what Saint Patrick's day is.
Speaker 2: And I should also mention that I know people of
Speaker 2: Irish descent, especially some who literally were born and raised
Speaker 2: in Ireland who don't really like Saint Patrick's Day because
Speaker 2: they don't agree with the influence that Christianity had when
Speaker 2: it moved into Ireland all those centuries ago. So you know,
Speaker 2: you just have to also keep that in mind. I
Speaker 2: guess it's you know, worth mentioning. But okay, here's what
Speaker 2: Wikipedia says. Saint Patrick's Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick,
Speaker 2: the Day of the Festival of Patrick, is a cultural
Speaker 2: and religious celebration held on the seventeenth of March, which
Speaker 2: is the traditional death date of Saint Patrick. They believe
Speaker 2: he was born in three eighty five and died around
Speaker 2: four sixty one, and he is considered the foremost patron
Speaker 2: saint of Ireland. I'm going to talk a little bit
Speaker 2: more about who he was in a minute. There's you know,
Speaker 2: the facts are unclear, but it looks like that he
Speaker 2: he died when he was, you know, an older fellow,
Speaker 2: in his seventies or something. If you see some pictures
Speaker 2: of him, they show him looking a lot like Santa
Speaker 2: Claus with a long white beard, So it says you're
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day
Speaker 2: in the early seventeenth century and is observed by the
Speaker 2: Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox, the Lutheran Church. Actually,
Speaker 2: I'm not not going to name everything, but it says
Speaker 2: celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, the wearing of
Speaker 2: green and or shamrocks, and it says historically restrictions on
Speaker 2: eating and drinking alcohol were lifted for the day, which
Speaker 2: encouraged people to consume. It's a public holiday in the
Speaker 2: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Canadian province of Newfoundland
Speaker 2: and Labrador, widely celebrated in the US, Canada, Argentina, UK, etc.
Speaker 2: Et cetera. And so here is what I can recall about,
Speaker 2: you know, the legend of Saint Patrick. Again, this was
Speaker 2: so long ago. A lot of it's very unclear, but
Speaker 2: so I believe he was Traditionally they say he was
Speaker 2: born somewhere in the British Isles, and somehow, when he
Speaker 2: was like sixteen years old, he ended up being captured
Speaker 2: and becoming a slave to Irish pirates. You don't think
Speaker 2: so much about that concept, do you, Yeah, But so
Speaker 2: he was enslaved by Irish pirates for years until he
Speaker 2: finally escaped, and then of course he became affiliated with
Speaker 2: the church and rose through the ranks, so to speak,
Speaker 2: and then decided to go back to Ireland and help
Speaker 2: the people there, which is, I may not might sound
Speaker 2: kind of ironic. And he would use the shamrock to
Speaker 2: describe the Holy Trinity because you know, shamrocks usually have
Speaker 2: just three leaves there. And of course being the Emerald,
Speaker 2: isle Green was always a big player. And he is
Speaker 2: also credited with supposedly removing all the snakes from Ireland.
Speaker 2: You know, there's all this drama about Hi getting up
Speaker 2: there and driving the snakes out, but most people say, like,
Speaker 2: there's pretty good evidence that there have never even been
Speaker 2: snakes in Ireland. So yeah, it kind of reminds you
Speaker 2: of the old joke like this guy killed all the
Speaker 2: lions in Las Vegas and you say there are no
Speaker 2: lions in Las Vegas, and it's like, well, exactly, you
Speaker 2: know that kind of thing, even though actually there are
Speaker 2: lions in Las Vegas. There's a whole lion habitat here.
Speaker 2: Bad example anyway, So but yeah, you know, he he
Speaker 2: apparently was beloved enough for this holiday to surround his
Speaker 2: legend and they nobody seems to know exactly how he died,
Speaker 2: but it just says that he died peacefully of natural causes.
Speaker 2: And so that's what Saint Patrick's stay is about. And
Speaker 2: of course the little people, they have been a part
Speaker 2: of that culture going way back, you know, pre Christian
Speaker 2: So maybe we'll talk a little bit about that when
Speaker 2: we come back. But I also realize I'm getting behind
Speaker 2: on some pretty interesting listener emails, and so I'm going
Speaker 2: to read some of those to you. And in fact,
Speaker 2: there's one that stands out in my mind from somebody
Speaker 2: who says, I think I have been experiencing astral visitors
Speaker 2: that are messing with me. So we're not talking about
Speaker 2: ghosts of dead people. We're talking about living people who
Speaker 2: are astrally projecting to this guy's house. He thinks that
Speaker 2: might be possible, and he says, how do I tell
Speaker 2: the difference. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange
Speaker 2: Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Speaker 2: podcast network, and I will be right back after these
Speaker 2: important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 2: and Ghost A Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I'm your host,
Speaker 2: Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show where the
Speaker 2: unusual becomes usual. Ozzia tato zoom may. Post a video
Speaker 2: of yourself saying that word on social media and just
Speaker 2: see what reaction you get. Don't give an explanation. I
Speaker 2: think if you can remember that, you're strengthening your brain.
Speaker 2: Ozzia tato zoom may. All right, let's see what the
Speaker 2: story is behind leprechauns. And again, if you listen to
Speaker 2: episode twenty three of this show called Are the Little
Speaker 2: People Real, You're going to get a deeper understanding. But okay,
Speaker 2: here's just you know, since we're talking about it. Wikipedia.
Speaker 2: A leprechaun is a diminutive supernatural being an Irish folklore,
Speaker 2: classed by some as a type of solitary fairy. They
Speaker 2: are usually depicted as little bearded men wearing a coat
Speaker 2: and hat who partake in mischief, and later times they
Speaker 2: have been depicted as shoemakers who have hidden a pot
Speaker 2: of gold at the end of the rainbow. Leprechaun like
Speaker 2: creatures rarely appear in Irish mythology and only became prominent
Speaker 2: and later folklore. Have you ever seen Darby Ogil and
Speaker 2: the Little People Boy. That's a great movie. And you know,
Speaker 2: I guess that's one of the cool things about the
Speaker 2: leprechaun concept is that we're going back to making wishes.
Speaker 2: You know, the leprechaun can grant you a wish. But unfortunately,
Speaker 2: this whole idea of a leprechaun granting a wish has
Speaker 2: taken on kind of a sinister context because you've got
Speaker 2: you've got to have drama in stories, and so usually,
Speaker 2: like the Leprechaun, wish comes at a price that is unexpected.
Speaker 2: So it's it reminds you of like the Monkeys Paul
Speaker 2: short story, where be careful what you wish for. You
Speaker 2: might get it, but it's going to happen in a
Speaker 2: way that you're not gonna like, you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: sacrifice something else that you're not even thinking about. It's
Speaker 2: a surprise, and that has scared a lot of people
Speaker 2: away from the whole manifestation and wish making practice. But
Speaker 2: in reality, you do not generally have to worry about
Speaker 2: that sort of thing because you are only capable of
Speaker 2: receiving what you put out. When you are making up
Speaker 2: your desire to manifest something on your own. So I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess if a little man pops up and asks
Speaker 2: you that, well, maybe that maybe that does have a catch,
Speaker 2: but that doesn't actually happen. When you're actually manifesting things.
Speaker 2: You are putting out the projection for what you want,
Speaker 2: and if you only put out positivity, then only positivity
Speaker 2: can come back. So don't even worry about that. But
Speaker 2: let's get onto the name Leprechaun. This is actually a
Speaker 2: lot trickier than I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2: The etymology they say, it's they think this word is
Speaker 2: descended from the Old Irish luckerpon or luprecahn. It's like, okay,
Speaker 2: and then they give you different versions and it's like okay,
Speaker 2: what does all that mean? And apparently it's kind of unclear.
Speaker 2: They say the word may have been coined as a
Speaker 2: compound of the roots lagu and corp, which are Latin
Speaker 2: for small and body. Okay, And then it says that
Speaker 2: folk etamol derives the word from lafe, which means half
Speaker 2: and brogue. Because of the frequent betrayal of the leprechaun
Speaker 2: is working on a single shoe. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I guess nobody really knows for sure, but they say.
Speaker 2: The leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature whose
Speaker 2: principal occupation is making and cobbling shoes, and who enjoys
Speaker 2: practical jokes. It says the leprechaun is considered to be
Speaker 2: not a professional cobbler, but frequently seen mending his own
Speaker 2: shoes as he runs about so much he wears them
Speaker 2: out with great frequency. And let's see, it says this
Speaker 2: is the perfect opportunity to capture a leprechaun when he's
Speaker 2: working on his shoes, and then refusing to release him
Speaker 2: until the leprechaun gives the captor supernatural wealth. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: you know, if you're interested in leprechauns, you can read
Speaker 2: more about that on your own. But I just think
Speaker 2: it's always interesting to look at where these traditions come from.
Speaker 2: All right, now, let's get into some emails. Let's see
Speaker 2: what you are thinking. This comes to me from uh Andrew.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure where he is located, so I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna it's kind of a lengthy email, so let me
Speaker 2: just sort of I'm just gonna read it best I
Speaker 2: can as he wrote it. He says, is there a
Speaker 2: way one can detect astral projectors, like using an EMF
Speaker 2: meter to find paranormal activity in the other life. He
Speaker 2: goes on to say, I have been experiencing some weird
Speaker 2: phenomena regarding spiritual activity and oppression, but multiple times they
Speaker 2: have claimed to be astral projecting, which I cannot confirm.
Speaker 2: Would you know of any method to figure out if
Speaker 2: they are astral projectors, telepaths messing with me, witches, ethereal beings,
Speaker 2: or ghosts of the dearly departed? He says, I've been
Speaker 2: trying to nail it down, but I'm just honestly distracted
Speaker 2: by some of their weird threats and judgmental attitudes. And
Speaker 2: then he gives some details. He says, at one point,
Speaker 2: I found myself in the middle of a park, and
Speaker 2: he tells where it is, but I'm not going to
Speaker 2: repeat that, and he says I was on a little island.
Speaker 2: I guess they have a pond there, And he says,
Speaker 2: basically calling whatever gods or goddesses or whatever would give
Speaker 2: me clarification. And I was doing this because these beings
Speaker 2: were claiming to be humbling me while mentally torturing me.
Speaker 2: So he says I started messing with them back. It's
Speaker 2: a whole bizarre type of communication I've never heard of
Speaker 2: before being used. But I digress. So here I am
Speaker 2: on this little island when the wind kicks up and
Speaker 2: in a three hundred and sixty degree fashion all around me,
Speaker 2: both inside and outside my head, as if I were
Speaker 2: in the middle of a surround sound system. I hear
Speaker 2: this adult the female voice say will you go to
Speaker 2: war with me? And then something along the lines of
Speaker 2: I'm Lilith, and he says, anyway, there's a bunch whole
Speaker 2: more surprise occurrences, as if they're intentionally trying to mess
Speaker 2: with my head. But I am a fool me once
Speaker 2: kind of person. So he says, if you have any
Speaker 2: knowledge on this or beings and other planes of existence,
Speaker 2: please let me know, all right. So, I mean, this
Speaker 2: is a weird email, right, What do you do with
Speaker 2: an email like this? So I just kind of tried
Speaker 2: to break it the best I could, And I said, well, look, Andrew,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, as an investigator who measures these things
Speaker 2: best I can, there is no way to distinguish between
Speaker 2: astral projectors and other types of interactive spiritual beings by
Speaker 2: using detection equipment alone, it comes down to an interpretation
Speaker 2: of entity behavior and psychology. So, in other words, it
Speaker 2: is my belief that, based on the evidence I've collected,
Speaker 2: whenever something takes on a non physical form, whether that
Speaker 2: be something we consider ghostly or some person who's projecting
Speaker 2: astery essentially a part of them, a spiritual representation of
Speaker 2: them is materializing somewhat in the physical world and interacting
Speaker 2: with you, and that process it still creates the same
Speaker 2: kinds of changes with electrostatic fields and electromagnetic anomalies, and
Speaker 2: so therefore I don't think that you can just use
Speaker 2: our current level of detection equipment to differentiate. But that's
Speaker 2: why I went on to say, so you have to
Speaker 2: look at their behavior, which is why that you know,
Speaker 2: most ghosts are non interactive, and they're redundant, and they
Speaker 2: are predictable, and you can see that this is almost
Speaker 2: like a recording in the environment that keeps replaying itself.
Speaker 2: But in other cases, you have a being that seems
Speaker 2: like it's interactive, which might be a disembodied spirit, but
Speaker 2: it's not speaking to you in a way as if
Speaker 2: it's coming to attack you or something. It might be
Speaker 2: the spirit of a deceased loved one. So if you
Speaker 2: have these like strangers that are popping up in a
Speaker 2: spiritual form and they are saying things that are disturbing you, well,
Speaker 2: then it could be somebody who's astually projecting I guess.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty darn rare. Or you know, it's
Speaker 2: more likely some kind of a thing that would be
Speaker 2: classified as as demonic, like some kind of being from
Speaker 2: another realm that's coming and messing with you. But on
Speaker 2: the other hand, you know what, you always if you
Speaker 2: start having these experiences, I think you should go see
Speaker 2: a physician and make sure that you don't have a
Speaker 2: mental illness as well. You know, that's just part of
Speaker 2: the process. Have that checked out, you know. But when
Speaker 2: it comes to like figuring out a behavioral question, I
Speaker 2: always tell people email my friend Angela Moore and just
Speaker 2: tell her what's going on. She might be able to
Speaker 2: help you sort through how to interpret the behavior of
Speaker 2: these things if you have something really coming through. And
Speaker 2: her email address is Angela Vision at yahoo dot com
Speaker 2: A N G E. L A V I S I
Speaker 2: and Angela Vision at yahoo dot com. All Right, so
Speaker 2: that's how I answered that question. Maybe that's of interest
Speaker 2: to some of you. Next, I have an email from
Speaker 2: Celeste and she has a question about wands, and she said,
Speaker 2: first of all, the Buddha wand is gorgeous. I love it,
Speaker 2: and it was beautifully wrapped. Then she talks about another
Speaker 2: type of wand, and she says, how do I tell
Speaker 2: the difference between these ones and how to use them?
Speaker 2: Do they do the same thing? This is a question
Speaker 2: I get a lot from people who have ones, and
Speaker 2: so when we come back, I'll tell you about that.
Speaker 2: And then also some news scientists have built a tractor beam.
Speaker 2: I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
Speaker 2: iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Welcome back to the final segment
Speaker 2: of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and
Speaker 2: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host,
Speaker 2: Joshua P. Warren. And Celest email me and said, Okay,
Speaker 2: there it is. She says, first of all, the Buddha
Speaker 2: wand is gorgeous. Now, of course you can't. I don't
Speaker 2: think I think those are sold out. I'm not one
Speaker 2: hundred percent short. But she says I love it. Also,
Speaker 2: I have the wand that has the magnets on the
Speaker 2: bottom with the quartz crystal on top. She is talking
Speaker 2: about the forces of nature wand I'm pretty sure we
Speaker 2: have some of those still remaining if you go to
Speaker 2: the Curiosity shop at Joshua Pewarren dot com. And she said,
Speaker 2: can you explain the difference in the wands or do
Speaker 2: they do the same things? Thank you in advance. And
Speaker 2: I get these questions from time to time about you know,
Speaker 2: different products and different versions of things, and so I
Speaker 2: figured out, go ahead and read you what I sent her.
Speaker 2: I said, Hi, Celeste, both of these wands are intended
Speaker 2: to help you manifest whatever you like. I just experiment
Speaker 2: with different wand designs for different things. One day, I'm
Speaker 2: in the mood for pizza for dinner, the next day
Speaker 2: grilled fish, et cetera. So pick whichever one draws you
Speaker 2: in for a particular wish. It's different for everyone and
Speaker 2: every wish, and that's the truth. And she said, thank
Speaker 2: you so much, God bless you. I also received this
Speaker 2: message from a gentleman named David who lives I believe,
Speaker 2: in Missouri, and he sent me a couple of pictures,
Speaker 2: and he said, I have been using the Buddhist Stone
Speaker 2: and the Tesla plate the last several months with much success.
Speaker 2: And his two pictures are cash outs from the casino
Speaker 2: he goes to, and you know what I mean, like
Speaker 2: you cash out and they give you a little ticket
Speaker 2: that you go and you take to the machine to
Speaker 2: get you your actual cash or to the the cage
Speaker 2: where the cashier is. One of the tickets that he
Speaker 2: has here in this picture cashed out one thousand, six
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty three dollars and the other one cashed
Speaker 2: out two thousand, one hundred and seventy three dollars. He's
Speaker 2: doing pretty darn well. As a matter of fact, both
Speaker 2: of those are enough money that he would have had
Speaker 2: to fill out a an IRS tax form for hitting
Speaker 2: money like that. So he says the buddhistone and the
Speaker 2: Tesla play. Keep that in mind when you go to
Speaker 2: the Buddhastone dot com and again Buddha is spelled Buddha
Speaker 2: like boodh Ha the Buddha Stone dot com. Thank you
Speaker 2: for that, David, And hey, congratulations, man, you know you,
Speaker 2: I bet your life is now easier in some ways.
Speaker 2: Huh uh. I have another real, really interesting email that
Speaker 2: I read, and I thought, you know what, this is
Speaker 2: a subject that is interesting enough I might turn it
Speaker 2: into like a main subject for a whole show. So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna save that one for next time. But I
Speaker 2: do want to get this in here. From Popular Mechanics
Speaker 2: dot com. This just recently was published, says scientists actually
Speaker 2: did it. They built a real working tractor beam. You
Speaker 2: know how in the sci fi movies and TV shows,
Speaker 2: suddenly a tractor beam kicks on. I know they did
Speaker 2: this in Star Wars and a ship gets caught in
Speaker 2: the in the beam and it can't move and it
Speaker 2: gets pulled in and uh, it says here. Tractor beams
Speaker 2: have long been a staple of sci fi, but you
Speaker 2: might not know they've also existed in the real world,
Speaker 2: albeit at a very small scale. Micro Optic tractor beams,
Speaker 2: better known as optical tweezers, can pull atoms and nanoparticles
Speaker 2: for use in medicine and research. But we've never been
Speaker 2: able to actually see this happen. Well now we can,
Speaker 2: and a new study published in the journal Optic Express,
Speaker 2: Chinese scientists created the first tractor beam strong enough to
Speaker 2: manipulate macroscopic objects. That means things you can actually see
Speaker 2: with the naked eye. That's how large these objects are.
Speaker 2: They don't say exactly how big they are, but you
Speaker 2: you know, being able to see them with the neked eye,
Speaker 2: that's huge in terms of like quantum stuff. It says, yes,
Speaker 2: it was done in a highly controlled lab manipulating a
Speaker 2: specific type of graphene composite. But it says they used
Speaker 2: they used a laser to move an object. And the
Speaker 2: scientists write, quote, with our new approach, the light pulling
Speaker 2: for has a much larger amplitude. In fact, it is
Speaker 2: more than three orders of magnitudes larger than the light
Speaker 2: pressure used to drive a solar cell, which uses the
Speaker 2: momentum of photons to exert a small pushing force. And
Speaker 2: so they say, in the experiments, a torsional pendulum device
Speaker 2: presented the laser pulling phenomenon. So basically they created some
Speaker 2: kind of a pendulum and they're hitting this thing with
Speaker 2: a laser, and you know they can they can suck
Speaker 2: it toward them. And so that's what these shiny scientists
Speaker 2: have done. And they say that this could whether or
Speaker 2: not this could work so well on big stuff here
Speaker 2: on Earth is yet to be seen. But a tractor
Speaker 2: beam like this could definitely manipulate vehicles and aircraft in
Speaker 2: space or somewhere like Mars. So interesting, huh. Popular Mechanics
Speaker 2: dot Com see sci Fi Come into Life? Come into life? Okay.
Speaker 2: In the and the final minutes of this podcast, sometimes
Speaker 2: I have this segment that I like to call mental manna,
Speaker 2: where I just share with you something that I find
Speaker 2: interesting that I've been thinking about. And the other day
Speaker 2: I bought a periscope for a project. It's like, you know,
Speaker 2: one foot long, and when you look through this periscope,
Speaker 2: I mean you could lift it up above you know,
Speaker 2: a fence or some other object and spy, you know,
Speaker 2: hunters use them to stay hidden while they're looking for
Speaker 2: their game. And what's funny is that when you look
Speaker 2: through the lower end of the periscope, the mirror that
Speaker 2: you're looking at is only a couple inches from your eyes. Now,
Speaker 2: I am near sighted, so I wear glasses, and that
Speaker 2: means nearsighted means I can see stuff that's up close,
Speaker 2: but I can't see stuff clearly that's far away. So
Speaker 2: when you're looking through the periscope, the mirror is actually
Speaker 2: close to your eyes. So do you think I have
Speaker 2: to wear glasses to look at the mirror on the
Speaker 2: periscope or not think about that for a minute. I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to be able to see stuff that's close to me.
Speaker 2: So can I look at the mirror that's only a
Speaker 2: couple inches away and see clearly? Or do I still
Speaker 2: need my glasses? The answer is I still need my
Speaker 2: glasses because it doesn't matter if the image is actually
Speaker 2: a couple inches away. It's still interpreting light that is
Speaker 2: coming from far away. That's kind of cool, I think.
Speaker 2: So I started researching, you know, the history of glasses.
Speaker 2: Do you know when eyeglasses were invented? I mean, what
Speaker 2: a profound thing that was. And it says here that
Speaker 2: Pliny the Elder, who was, you know, one of the
Speaker 2: ancient historians, said that there were times, you know, in
Speaker 2: the Greek and Roman ancient days, when people would use gemstones,
Speaker 2: like they would just luck out and they'd find a
Speaker 2: gymstone that would help them see. That supposedly, Emperor Nero
Speaker 2: had an emerald that he would use to help him see,
Speaker 2: and that over time they started realizing they could shape
Speaker 2: things and the actual invention supposedly of what we would
Speaker 2: recognize as a modern day eyeglass. It seems to have
Speaker 2: been made in central Italy, most likely in Pisa, where
Speaker 2: you know they have the Leaning Tower, about twelve ninety,
Speaker 2: but we don't know exactly who came up with them.
Speaker 2: And a sermon delivered on the twenty third of February
Speaker 2: of thirteen oh six, A Friar said, it is not
Speaker 2: yet twenty years since there was found the art of
Speaker 2: making eyeglasses which make for good vision. And it is
Speaker 2: so short a time that this new art, never before extant,
Speaker 2: was discovered. I saw the first one who discovered and
Speaker 2: practiced it, and I talked to him end quote. But
Speaker 2: I don't think they ever actually say, like, this is
Speaker 2: the person who invented eyeglasses. That it's interesting that thousands
Speaker 2: of years ago people were using natural gemstones to achieve this.
Speaker 2: But apparently, you know, the Italians and the late twelve
Speaker 2: hundreds gave us what we would recognize now as eyeglasses.
Speaker 2: And what a revolutionary invention, and yet so simple by
Speaker 2: today's standards, because it's a passive device that just bends
Speaker 2: and manipulates light. So there's your mental manna for this
Speaker 2: edition of the program. All right, Now let's end the
Speaker 2: show as I so often do, by listening to that
Speaker 2: tone that continues to bring people great success in their lives, help, happiness,
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. If you can close your eyes,
Speaker 2: take a few deep breaths. If you have some water,
Speaker 2: you might want to put it in front of the speaker,
Speaker 2: and then afterward drink that water. Here is the good
Speaker 2: Fortune tone, exclusively from this show. That's it for this
