I'm in the mood, 19 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm in the spirit. So let's get started, shall we? 20 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Several centuries ago, amongst the green countryside and superstitious towns 21 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: and villages in Ireland, there lived a drunkard known as 22 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: Stingy Jack. Jack was known throughout the land as a deceiver, 23 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: a manipulator, and a dredge on his community. On a 24 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: fateful Halloween night typical of Jack, he was drunk and 25 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: wandering through the countryside in the moonlight when he stumbled 26 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: upon his shadowy body lying in his path, and to 27 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: his surprise, the body, with an eerie grimace on his 28 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: pale face, rose suddenly and the figure said to Stingy Jack, 29 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: I am the Devil and I have finally come for you. 30 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: You knew this day would come. What do you want 31 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: with me, exclaimed Jack. I'm here to take your soul 32 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: down to hell, said the horrible, grinning figure. Well, Jack 33 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: seemed to accept his fate, but he said to the devil, 34 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: then please please at least give me one last drink 35 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: of l before I go. Well, the devil, always up 36 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: for a good time, said well, yes, fine, then let's 37 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: go to the pub for your last all. Well, the 38 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: two had a good old time, drinking up a storm 39 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: for hours. Finally the tab came to but Jack did 40 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: not have a penny to his name, so he said 41 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: to the devil, well, you're a great and powerful magician. 42 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: Let's see if you can turn yourself into a silver coin, 43 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: we can give this bar keep. Well, the devil was 44 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: happy to show off and oblige, and he transformed himself 45 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: into a silver coin. Jack quickly stuffed the coin into 46 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: his pocket, where Jack always kept a crucifix, and this 47 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: trapped old Satan. You see, his power was gone next 48 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: to a crucifix. And the devil begged Jack to let 49 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: him go free. But Jack said, I know my inevitable fate, 50 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: but I'll only release you if you grant me ten 51 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: more years, just ten more years on this earth. The 52 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: devil had no choice but to agree. Well, you think 53 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: all stingy Jack would have changed his ways, but he 54 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: did not. Some say he got even worse. But time 55 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: flies by, and Halloween night, ten years later, Old Jack 56 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: was wandering the moonlit countryside when once again his old friend, 57 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: the devil appeared next to a dark tree. It's been 58 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: ten years, growled the devil. Now it's time to go Jack. 59 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: And Jack bowed his head and said, all right, all right, 60 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: I know it's time, but it least give me one 61 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: last morsel of food from this good green earth before 62 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: I have to go. And the devil was actually kind 63 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: of fond of Jack, and he said, well, fine, I'll 64 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: give you one last morsel of food since you won't 65 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: be getting it anymore forever. They were next to an 66 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: apple tree, and Jack said, I can't reach them apples 67 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: up there, but you're a great and powerful spirit. Can 68 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: you please run up that tree and take me down 69 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: an apple to feed this hungry belly? And once again 70 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: the devil agreed to this request. But as the devil 71 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: climbed up the gnarled branches of the tree, clever, old, 72 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: stingy Jack reached in his pockets and quickly surrounded the 73 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: base of the tree with a ring of crucifixes. Satan 74 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: was mad as hell that he had and entrapped again 75 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: and demanded his release, and as before, Jack made a 76 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: demand that his soul never be taken by Satan into hades. 77 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: Satan had no choice but to agree, and so the 78 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: devil was set free. Well, the years passed by, time 79 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: always wins. Eventually, the hard drinking took its toll on 80 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: Jack and he died in pain. Jack found himself at 81 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: the gate of St. Peter in heaven, but he was stopped. St. 82 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: Peter said, Jack, because of your drinking and sinful life 83 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: of deceit, you shall never be allowed in heaven. So 84 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: Jack was immediately spirited down to Hell. But there he 85 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: saw his old drinking buddy, the devil, once again, and 86 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: Satan said, I have to fulfill my promise. Jack, you 87 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: shall never be admitted here. And so Jack was not 88 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: admitted to heaven or Hell. And the devil, with his eerie, 89 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: vindictive grin, tossed a fiery ember into an old, hollowed 90 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: out turnip and gave it to Jack. And the devil said, 91 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: you shall miserably wander the earth forever, never at rest, 92 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: always weary with this lantern as a warning to all 93 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: those fools who think they can somehow outsmart God and 94 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: the Devil. And to this day, on some dark, clear nights, 95 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: especially around Halloween, you'll catch a glimpse of old stingy 96 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: Jack with his lantern, drifting about the hills and glens. 97 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: All he wants now is a rest that shall never come. 98 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: He is doomed to this fate for all time. Those 99 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: who see this apparition shudder and rush their children inside 100 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: he's old stingy Jack with his lantern, or as we 101 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: call him, Jack of the Lantern or Jack o' lantern. 102 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: And that, my friends, is the story of the Jack o' lantern. 103 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Now you know. Now you know why every year we 104 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: see those grinning gap tooth pumpkins and you know, we 105 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: might use pumpkins now, but they say it started with turnips. 106 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter. I love these origin stories because 107 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: how are we is just so weird, isn't it. And 108 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: of course all the scholars say that it really began 109 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: based upon the pagan traditions of Europeans who lived in 110 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: the area around you know, Ireland, uh, the the ancient 111 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: Celtic people. And every year, right around the end of October, 112 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: they would celebrate the harvest and the transition of life 113 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: into death as the winter was coming, and so they 114 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: would have this big festival. But also they believed, apparently 115 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: that during this transitory period that because we were in 116 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: sort of a window from life shifting into death, that 117 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: during this period of time, the souls of the dead 118 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: could come back and interact with the living, and not 119 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: all of them were necessarily good, and people got afraid 120 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: and so one of the traditions was, well, if you 121 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: don't want the bad ones to mess with you, then 122 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: just put on a mask and you dress up like 123 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: you're a spooky one, and they'll leave you alone. They 124 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: won't know the difference. They'll think you're one of them. 125 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: So when the Christians came through and we're trying to 126 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: convert all the Pagans to Christianity, one of the theories 127 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: is that they didn't want to just say, hey, you 128 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: have to stop doing what you do or you're gonna 129 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: go to Hell. Instead, they tried to take some of 130 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: the pagan beliefs and work with them and adopt them 131 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: a little bit and shift them into Christian beliefs. And 132 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: then you see that all throughout many of the big holidays. 133 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Christmas is a big one. But anyway, so the Catholics 134 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: they have this holiday on November one, called All Saints Day, 135 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: when they are honoring the memory of all the saints 136 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: who have died, and so they call that the Hallowed Day. Okay, 137 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: and therefore the evening before that, which is October one, 138 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: is known as the Hallowed Evening or the Hallowed Eve, 139 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: or the Halloween. That's where the word Halloween comes from. 140 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: But they really believe that it was primarily based upon Salon, 141 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: which was this Gaelic harvest festival celebration that included fun 142 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: and mischief and also dealing with the spirits of the 143 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: dead as you prepare for the winter.

Of course, I grew up 202 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville, North Carolina, 203 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: and celebrating Halloween there was a big deal. And I'm 204 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: sure a lot of my interest and ghosts in the 205 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: paranormal was inspired by just hearing these types of tales. 206 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: And of course I became really well known when I 207 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: published my book Haunted Asheville, when I was just in 208 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: my in my late teens, I guess, and that just 209 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: it became a regional best seller and it was the 210 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: first book of Ashville ghost stories ever written. And to 211 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: this day, the Haunted Asheville Ghost Tours are the largest 212 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: paranormal walking tours in the entire state of North Carolina. 213 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: It's it's amazing. So if you're interested Haunted Asheville dot 214 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: com it's really hard to get a ticket this time 215 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: of year. But even though that book was so popular, 216 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: it was non fiction. And I think that the best 217 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: description I gave of how I really feel about Halloween 218 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: was in this novel that I published years later, and 219 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: it's called The Evil in Asheville, because if you think 220 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: about the spelling of Ashville, has the word evil right 221 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: in the middle A S H E V I L 222 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: L E. And this is a This is a pretty 223 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: thick novel that I wrote. It was my first real novel, 224 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: and uh, basically, I'll read the back of the book. 225 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: It says Asheville has a secret. It stays locked away 226 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: in a room deep within a demonic castle, looming darkly 227 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: above the city below. Few know what it is, and 228 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: those who do, and those who do are afraid to say. 229 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: They call it simply the horror. It has brought maligned 230 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: wealth and unchallenged power to those who control it. Unchallenged, 231 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: that is, until he came along. He was a stranger, 232 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: as steely and mysterious as the castle itself. No one 233 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: knows his name or the place he calls home, but 234 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: he will do whatever he must to face the sinister 235 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: forces lurking within the Gothic fortress walls. Through land, air, 236 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: and water, he will struggle to reach his goal, unraveling 237 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: the city's bitter enigmas. Along the way, Shrouded by mystique, 238 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: sorcery and the towering Blue Ridge Mountains, he has a 239 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: fateful rendezvous with unspeakable wickedness, his life at stake, an 240 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: entire region against him, He'll go to any lengths to 241 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: find and destroy the evil at Asheville.

The Evil 244 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: in Ashville. But there is a passage that I try 245 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: to read somewhere at least once a year that describes 246 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: my feelings regarding what it was like to celebrate Asheville, 247 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: or to celebrate Halloween in Asheville every year growing up. 248 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: Just what a what a traditional and influential experience it was. 249 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: So I am not going to read to you a 250 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: short passage from my novel The Evil in Asheville when 251 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: I describe Halloween as I know it. Here we go, 252 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: October thirty one. It was like the earth had died 253 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: for a night, and on its last exhale, as the 254 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: life slipped away, the darkness of the other world had 255 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: oozed into the void, left behind ever so gently, the 256 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: sun had submerged into the grave of the horizon, leaving 257 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: behind the cold, blue world defenned for itself. The leaves 258 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: and trees were dry and crackly, and the air was 259 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: so thin that it could not restrain the spirits of 260 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: the dead, unleashing them into the helpless realm of the living. 261 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: The color black had never looked blacker, and the lustrous 262 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: moon above, a mangy cat at the side of the road, 263 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: and the fire and a jack o' lantern's eyes never 264 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: looked more sinister. The sky above felt bigger and bleaker 265 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: than before. It's infinite mystery overwhelming, and within each shadow, 266 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: a spectral predator lurked and waited, watching, always watching. But 267 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: amongst the more substantial underlying malevolence of the night, frivolities 268 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: danced about its crust. There were rubber bats flapping from 269 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: bands of elastic fabric, ghosts hanging from trees, grinning gap 270 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: tooth pumpkins at every doorstep, and the people, ah, the people. 271 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: It was like the world had turned inside out for 272 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: a night, and all of society filled the streets. Both 273 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: children and adults were decked in costumes of every kind, 274 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: which is goblins, werewolves, frankenstein monsters, and grotesque slashed faces 275 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: strolled every lane. Plastic cauldrons of candy sweets abounded. Houses 276 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: were mummified with soaring rolls of toilet paper. Dry eyes, 277 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: fog rolled off, green fountains of punch and floating apples 278 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: were bobbed for from wide germ filled vats and ghoulish garb. 279 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: Storytellers sat around lapping campfires, relating creepy tales of the past, 280 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: stories of hooks and hitchhikers, spook infested houses, heads and bags, 281 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: cold blooded murders, and pranks gone terribly wrong, all of 282 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: them true, of course, And at Helen's Bridge, teens gathered 283 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: to spot the ghostly mistress, perhaps to find handprint burned 284 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: permanently into the finish of their cars. At other places, 285 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: like the secluded, vacant water tower, the open cut or 286 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: spidy mountain, some of the more bold searched to find 287 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: Satanist absorbed and their cursed rights. A human sacrifice played 288 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: before them. Young Men intrepid and dashing in their capes 289 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: and masks, competed for the favors of young women dressed 290 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: seductively and the revealing costumes of morbid tempresses, smoke, candy, mischief, tales, spirits, 291 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: ancient evil, and the crisp air. This was Halloween. That 292 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: should help you understand and a little bit more about 293 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: why that I enjoy the Halloween season so much, and 294 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: why it had surely such an impact on my interests 295 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: in life. The very first book that I wrote, I 296 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: started writing when I was fourteen, published at the age 297 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: of fifteen, was called Joshua Warren's Gallery of Mystery and Suspense. 298 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: And uh, it's it's not being printed physically anymore, but 299 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: I at some point I intend to release it as 300 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: an e book. Um, it's it's always kind of embarrassing 301 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: and to go back and read stuff that you wrote 302 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: when you were that young. But you know, people still 303 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: have a copy. They contact me and they talked about 304 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: how much they like it too. So here is a 305 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: poem that I wrote when I was fourteen, from my 306 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: very first book, and it's called The Halloween. And by 307 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: the way, once again that what you just heard was 308 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: from my novel The Evil and ashe All, which is 309 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: on Amazon. This this book, you're not going to find 310 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: this anywhere. Probably. Here is my poem the Halloween. When 311 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: wind is crisp and air is cold, the time has 312 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: come of tales I've told of Warlock's spells and women's screams. 313 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: The night I speak is Halloween. Tis on this night 314 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: God set aside for Satan to redeem his pride. To 315 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: use the spell the witches hold to free all of 316 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: the condemned souls. This witches Sabbath, it may seem would 317 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: only come upon one's dream, But on one night of 318 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: every year, the demon's horror shall appear, and spirits will 319 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: fill all the sky to roam the place that they 320 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 1: have died. The cemetery is a place that wise men 321 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: leave with quicken the pace, for once the spirits have appeared, 322 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: the faith of man you will not hear. So raise 323 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: your crosses if through rain, and guardlic every window pane, 324 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: for when the witching hour is here, the fool is 325 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: all who does not fear. So there's my little poem 326 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: the Halloween. And you might think to yourself, like, why Josh, 327 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: when you were at that age, were you like right 328 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: and all this dark stuff about like demons and horror. 329 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: I think it's an artistic thing.

Hey, 368 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: would you like to hear another poem I wrote? You 369 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: might be asking yourself why why is he just reading 370 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: stuff that that he wrote? Well, as the great Unknown 371 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,959 Speaker 1: Hinton would say, think about it. Think about it. If 372 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: you don't know who Unknown Hinton is. I listened to 373 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: his music, uh every every year at this time. He 374 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: is a vampire troubadour. Just look just look up Unknown 375 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: Hinston if you've never heard of him and just listen 376 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: to some songs. He's not for everybody. Think about it. 377 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: I used to interview him, and that was his It was. 378 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: I am reading my own stuff because I don't have 379 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: to get the rights from anybody. I don't have to 380 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: get permission. You know, you can read maybe a passage 381 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: or an excerpt from somebody else here or there. But 382 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of a pain to have to go get 383 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: permission to read all of somebody else's stuff. Plus it 384 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: it ain't that shabby, right. How about this one? This 385 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: is one that also from the very first book I 386 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: ever wrote. When I was fourteen, I wrote this. It's 387 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: called the Walk down Stockburn Lane. And even though it's 388 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: not specifically a Halloween song, every Hallow Halloween poem every Halloween. 389 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: I think about it because I was in sort of 390 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: envisioning a guy in October when I wrote this. Right 391 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: in front of left, now left in front of right. 392 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: My heart was pounding wildly. As I walked the lane 393 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: that night, I remembered all the stories as it drizzled 394 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: in the rain, the stories of the hauntings. As I 395 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: walked down Stockburn Lane, the sky was dark and cloudy, 396 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: not a single soul around, and the shadows they engulfed me. 397 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: As the blackness stretched the ground, My brow was wet 398 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: and steamed, in my throat extremely dry, and my adrenaline, 399 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: as I recall, had reached an awful high. I dreaded 400 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: all the spots that I would pass through, dark and rain, 401 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: the haunted spots along the walk, the walk down Stockburn Lane. 402 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: It was then that I next saw it, the first 403 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: sight there to see. Nestled shortly off the lane, you 404 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: see there stood the Hangman's Tree, a dark and dismal 405 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: oak amongst unshadowed care, saturated with the spirits of the criminals. 406 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: Hung there. A lump of fear was in my throat, 407 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: disabling my sigh. I quickly steppinged up my pace and 408 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: swiftly passed on by a fractution of My fear was gone. 409 00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: I became a bit more sane, but dreaded spots were 410 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: still to come, the spots on Stockburn Lane. Now, as 411 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: my walk proceeded, the rain was pouring hard, and up 412 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: ahead I saw the next It was the old graveyard. 413 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: A powerful bolt of lightning struck on the distant land. 414 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: Twas then I glimpsed the tombstones, and the hauntings were 415 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: at hand. I heard a shrieking screaming, and in terror 416 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: froze at that. But in the lightnings after strikes, I 417 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: saw it was just a cat. I upped my paranoid pace, 418 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: frozen with fear and rain, and I ever more bedreaded. 419 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: So this walk down Stockburn Lane, my walk, it seemed 420 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: eternal and everlasting. Hell, the cold and rain did weaken me, 421 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: And once I almost fell, lightning flashed and thundercracked from 422 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: far up in the sky. And finally, through tired run, 423 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: I passed the graveyard. By Now up ahead lies one 424 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: more spot of deadly rumored tail, just one more spot 425 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: to overcome, to conquer, live and well. Twas the scene 426 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: of an accident that took place long ago. The stage 427 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: coach ran out of control and plunged the drop below. Now, 428 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: when the wreck was found, not one man was left undead, 429 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: and their spirits still roam at the scene, or so 430 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: the legend said. I now arrived upon the scene, now 431 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: lushly grown and black, and the place that lingered on 432 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: me like a hot breath on my back. I tightly 433 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: closed my eyes and pressed on in fright and hurt 434 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: until I felt my feet leave cobblestone, had a runto 435 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: rock and dirt. I opened up my eyes surprisingly to 436 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: find that in my fearful hurry, I had left the 437 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: lane behind. I sighed in great relievement. My heart calmed 438 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: to a pace. Finally I had passed it, that superstitious place. 439 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: I continued homeward therefore, with just drizzling left of rain 440 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: to leave behind the haunted spots of the walk down 441 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: stock Burn Lane. Hopefully that conjured up some interesting visuals 442 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: for you. You know, one of the cool things about 443 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: writing poetry is everything doesn't have to be grammatically correct either. 444 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: If you notice a couple of little things in there, 445 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: all right, one more poem, just one more from my book, 446 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: Joshua Warren's Gallery Mystery and Suspense. And again this is 447 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: the first book I wrote. And uh, maybe I'll get 448 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: it out there as an e book here one of 449 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 1: these days. This is called Night of the Grim Reaper. 450 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, this book is not all just poems. 451 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: It's there's only like a few poems in it. Heck, 452 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: I probably have read all the poems to you, or 453 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: at least I'm about to finish the last one. The 454 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: rest are short stories. I was really inspired by the 455 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: Twilight Zone and um, you know Alfred Hitchcock presents and 456 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: some of these stories that had twist endings and irony. 457 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I really enjoyed that that kind of storytelling, 458 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: and so that's what the stories are like in this book. 459 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: But anyway, here's a short short poem, Night of the 460 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: Grim Reaper, drenched with water black as night comes the 461 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: day the Reaper strikes Reaping with his reapsome grin to 462 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: slash the lives of many men. When the moon comes 463 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 1: up and sun goes down and darkness covers all the ground, 464 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: tis then, my friend. The clouds move in, and the 465 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: Reaper smiles his wicked grin. No one does know the 466 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: Reaper's wrath other than those who hear his laugh. He 467 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: comes out some to swing his scythe and cut the 468 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: threads which we call life. Once one has breathed their 469 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: final breath, the Reaper's come, and he has left to 470 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: fade away upon the wind until he's called to come again. 471 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: People ask me if there actually is more paranormal activity 472 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: around Halloween time or if this is just a marketing gimick. 473 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: You know, is there is there really a thinning of 474 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: the veil? Is there a a liminal type of entrance 475 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: for for these spirits to pass or even for us 476 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: it's just you know, pass into their realm, you know, 477 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: can we pass back and forth? Is a portal open 478 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: of some kind? And I believe that there is more 479 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: paranormal activity around Halloween. Uh And and to a certain extent, 480 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,479 Speaker 1: it does depend possibly on what part of the world 481 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: that you live in, because let's just start with uh, well, 482 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 1: let's let's just start with the weather. I mean, in 483 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: many parts of the world where Halloween is a big thing, 484 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: that's when it is starting to turn cold and and 485 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: dark and dry, and the humidity is lowering, and there's 486 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: more of an electrostatic charge. And of course we know 487 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: that that seems to help paranormal activity along. And not 488 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: to mention the fact that one part of the Earth, 489 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 1: our hemisphere is is is moving away from the Sun. 490 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 1: And and as as as the Earth is moving away 491 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: from the sun, uh, you know that that changes the 492 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: amount of energy coming from the Sun that can usually 493 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: be disruptive to these subtle fields. I mean, a lot 494 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 1: of this paranormal stuff is it's very subtle stuff. And 495 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: it just gets bombarded and wiped out sometimes by these 496 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: cosmic excuse me, the solar rays that are hitting us 497 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: all the time, blasting us from the sun on. So 498 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: when you're leaning away from the Sun, well, then you're 499 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 1: getting less of that solar interference, so that these subtle 500 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: energy fields become more pronounced. And that that alone may 501 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: just account for the feeling that you get when it 502 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: when it's gonna be Halloween time. But there is a 503 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: one more factor, and I think it's a big one. 504 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: This may be the biggest one of all. And I 505 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: wonder if you're gonna be able to figure out what 506 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: it is. I'm gonna wait until after the break, uh 507 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,760 Speaker 1: to tell you what I think the biggest factor of all. Maybe. 508 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: But also this is a wonderful time in this last segment, 509 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: and maybe I'll see if I can squeeze in one 510 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: more creepy story. Um, but this is a this is 511 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: a wonderful time for me to also bring up the 512 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: brown mounted lights, because if you happen to live in 513 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: the western North Carolina area or you're going to be 514 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: there traveling, you should go there and and look for 515 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: the on mountain lights. And I'll tell you why it 516 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 1: almost applies to everything else I'm talking about here. This 517 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: is one of the best times to see them coming 518 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: up over the next month. I would say, I'm Joshua 519 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: Pete Warren. You're listening to strange things on the I 520 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: Heart Radio and Coast to Coast, a paranormal podcast network, 521 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: and I'll be right back.

Welcome back to the 549 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: final segment of this special edition of Strange Things on 550 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal 551 00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua p RN. And 552 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: here is possibly possibly the number one reason that there 553 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: is more paranormal activity around Halloween time. Did you get it? 554 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: Let's see, it's because so many people want it. They 555 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: they're asking for it, their mind is open to it, 556 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: and they're more aware. I mean, you only really know 557 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: about what you are aware of right, and it's that 558 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: one time of year when everybody says, it's okay, it's 559 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: not weird, let down your guard, we will accept this. 560 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 1: Let's invite strangeness in. And those who always feel like 561 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: they're you know, like I did, I guess they're looking 562 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: for something different, something deeper, something more oreistic. They take 563 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 1: advantage of that that open creativity and they say, show 564 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: me do something. I want to see, something spooky, I 565 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: want to be freaked out, just whatever, give give it 566 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,399 Speaker 1: to me. And they're looking for that mindset means a lot. 567 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,439 Speaker 1: That's why I've always felt like that Halloween is sort 568 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: of like Christmas time in my business, right because I know, 569 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, right now, the world has gotten so bizarre 570 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: that I don't have a slow day, all right, Every 571 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: every day I can't keep up with. I mean, my 572 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: phone's ringing off the hook and I'll get so many messages. 573 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 1: Now I'm telling you, I really I can't even read 574 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: most of them that come out. I've tried, and at 575 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: this point I can't do it. But um, I used to, 576 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: like back in the day when I when I was 577 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: first getting started, I always knew even if I'm having 578 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: a slow year, and I'm running out of money or whatever. 579 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 1: I just knew how means on the way, something will happen, 580 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 1: because Halloween would roll around and then boom, the media 581 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 1: would start calling and books would sell, and I'd have 582 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: all these speaking engagements, and so you know, it's kind 583 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: of cool to have that. But the media now contacts 584 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: me more than ever, you know that they want to 585 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: get my opinion on things, and I gotta I got 586 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: an email the other day from a reporter and he 587 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 1: said that he wanted to schedule a phone call with 588 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: me about the Brown Mountain lights. And it's almost impossible 589 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: to schedule a phone call with me. I just you 590 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: know that's I'll do my best to email with the reporter, 591 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 1: but if a phone call is very hard, And I said, well, 592 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 1: can you give me an idea of what you want 593 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: to talk about? Maybe we can email, and so he 594 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: rights back and he goes, well, I guess this is 595 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: just it. What causes the Brown Mountain lights? That was 596 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: this question. And I'm talking about this mountain, of course, 597 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: in western North Carolina, where these mysterious multicolored balls of 598 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: light have been floating around for centuries really as far 599 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: as we know, and nobody can explain what they are. 600 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: So I figured out, Okay, I sat down and go, 601 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: what's the what's the easiest way to answer this question? 602 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: And here's what I here's what I came up with 603 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: is my answer. Are you ready? He says, what causes 604 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:30,280 Speaker 1: the brown mountain lights? And I wrote, the mountain behaves 605 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: like a big capacitor that stores and then occasionally releases 606 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: natural electrical plasmas similar to ball lightning. This is due 607 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: to a rare combination of geologic and atmospheric features that 608 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: produced the effect when a large variety of variables are right. Okay, 609 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: nice sound logical explanation shared by others, based upon many, 610 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: many years of research that my team and I did 611 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: at that site using the scientific method. And you might 612 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,840 Speaker 1: hear that and say, oh, well, I guess that just 613 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: means there's nothing spooky, because maybe you know, he was 614 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: expecting me to come back and say, oh, this is 615 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: the portal where the spirits come through. But you see, 616 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,879 Speaker 1: I didn't not say that because I believe that when 617 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 1: the atmospheric conditions are right and the Earth starts creating 618 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 1: a lot of these electrostatic charges in certain places, this 619 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: also produces a lot of bizarre environmental and even interdimensional 620 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: activity as a side effect as a byproduct, which can 621 00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: make it easier for ghosts, cryptids, UFOs and things like 622 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: that to be perceived. So what you have, in other words, 623 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: are these places where the Earth is naturally a conduit 624 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: for this type of energy, and it really starts becoming 625 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: pronounced and allowing you, however, to experience these paranormal things. 626 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 1: And I think the best time to start looking for 627 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: the Brown Mountain Lights is the fall October November. And 628 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 1: if you want to know more about that and all 629 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: my thoughts and theories, go to Brown Mountain Lights dot com. 630 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: You've hear we talk a lot about it and just 631 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: you can download a free pdf there or you'll find 632 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 1: a bunch of different information about how to get there. 633 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: It's in the Pisco National Forest. It's a cool free 634 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 1: thing that anybody can access. Here's an email that I 635 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: got from Brenda Kilpatrick Bates, who lives in Glenville, North Carolina. 636 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 1: She said, my husband was killed when a tree fell 637 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:08,399 Speaker 1: on him. His back was turned and I don't think 638 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: he saw it coming. During the following months of grief, 639 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 1: I had many dreams of him that mostly left me confused. 640 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: One night, I dreamed of him and decided not to 641 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,360 Speaker 1: be upset, but instead confront him and asked him about 642 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: his sudden death. In the dream, we were in a 643 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: paneled room with books and chairs. I asked him about 644 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: his death. He proceeded to sit down in one of 645 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,919 Speaker 1: the chairs, get up, move to another chair, and sit down. 646 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: Then he said it was like knowing you set in 647 00:49:52,080 --> 00:50:01,720 Speaker 1: that chair, but finding yourself in this chair. My question 648 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:09,600 Speaker 1: was answered, I don't think he felt the thing, So 649 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,440 Speaker 1: that shows you, doesn't it. Maybe that's what happens this 650 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 1: time of year, that transition is it's pronounced um we 651 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: we We think of death as being such a sad 652 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 1: and scary thing, but maybe they're just slipping back and 653 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:36,399 Speaker 1: forth between here and somewhere else. Right. Some people, of course, 654 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: have scarier experiences. But I, you know, I didn't want 655 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: this to be a real creepy Halloween show. This is 656 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: just more of a fun one, even though I will 657 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:53,359 Speaker 1: slip this in. Tracy from Garden City, Michigan said, one night, 658 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 1: many years ago, I went to sleep, and a few 659 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,800 Speaker 1: hours later I was awakened by the sound of gnashing 660 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 1: of teeth and growling of what I thought was a 661 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: very angry dog. I could feel its claws scratching into 662 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: my chest. I immediately started flailing at it to get 663 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 1: it off of me, and then jumped out of bed 664 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 1: and ran to my parents room. I knocked on their door. 665 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 1: My mother opened it and I told her what had 666 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,800 Speaker 1: just happened. We went into my room. She looked around, 667 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 1: including under my bed, and proceeded to tell me it 668 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 1: was just a bad dream. I pulled up my pajama 669 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,120 Speaker 1: top and showed my mom my chest, and I asked her, 670 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: do bad dreams do this? My chest was covered with 671 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: red claw marks. Do you think that when you're in 672 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: that dream state you could open yourself up to the 673 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 1: other side a little bit more? I do? I do. 674 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,879 Speaker 1: You can have those interactions, and maybe that happens all 675 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,439 Speaker 1: the time when you're in the dream state, But when 676 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: you are in the Halloween season, it's like we're all 677 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 1: working together to enhance a collective dream state.
