Speaker 1: Welcome to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM paranormal
Speaker 1: podcast network. Now get ready for us Strange Things with
Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warre.

Speaker 2: opinions expressed by the host are their thoughts and opinions

Speaker 2: and associates. We would like to encourage you to do
Speaker 2: your own research and discover the subject matter for yourself.
Speaker 3: Ready to be amazed by the wizard of weird. This
Speaker 3: is Strange with Joshua Warren.
Speaker 1: I am Joshua IFE Warren, and each week on this show,
Speaker 1: I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
Speaker 1: and weird experiments that you can do at home, and
Speaker 1: a lot more. On this edition of the show, I
Speaker 1: interviewed the Amazing Crescin. I have been a fan of
Speaker 1: late night television my entire life, and the Amazing Crescin,
Speaker 1: the most famous mentalist of modern times, was on The
Speaker 1: Tonight Show mainly with Johnny Carson eighty eight times. His
Speaker 1: most famous stunt is having someone hide his paychecks somewhere
Speaker 1: within the audience, and if he can't find it, he
Speaker 1: doesn't get paid. And he's done this thousands of times,
Speaker 1: but he has not found it every time, around a
Speaker 1: dozen times. In fact, one time he said that he
Speaker 1: lost twenty two thousand dollars because of this. Well, he
Speaker 1: is now eighty six years old and still performing. But
Speaker 1: here's something you might not know. He was apparently banned
Speaker 1: from Coast to Coast AM. Here is what the Almighty
Speaker 1: Wikipedia has to say about that. In two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: Kreskin made a prediction that there would be a mass
Speaker 1: UFO siding over Las Vegas on June sixth, between the
Speaker 1: hours of nine forty five pm and midnight that would
Speaker 1: be witnessed by thousands of people. He also stated that
Speaker 1: if there were no sighting, he would donate fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to a charity. Well, hundreds of people camped out
Speaker 1: that evening, yet no sighting occurred. On June eighth, Creskin
Speaker 1: appeared in the opening segment of the Coast to Coast
Speaker 1: AM radio show hosted by Art Bell to explain what
Speaker 1: had happened. Bell read Creskin's press release over the air,
Speaker 1: to the effect that quote the siding prediction was a
Speaker 1: total fabrication in order to prove people's susceptibility to suggestion
Speaker 1: post nine to eleven end quote. Now, Creskin claimed that
Speaker 1: he was concerned and I'm still reading from Wikipedia here, okay,
Speaker 1: that these are not my words. Crescin claimed he was
Speaker 1: concerned that a terrorist with the skills of a mentalist
Speaker 1: such as himself could pull a similar stunt involving something
Speaker 1: much worse, and he stated that the prediction the siding
Speaker 1: there was only an experiment, and when asked about the
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars donation he had previously promoted CHRISC, Crescin
Speaker 1: claimed there was indeed a siding that night, since he
Speaker 1: said glowing green orbs were supposedly spotted in the sky
Speaker 1: just before midnight and reported by witnesses after news camera
Speaker 1: crews had already left the scene. Wikipedia continues to say
Speaker 1: because of this one reported sighting, Creskin said his prediction
Speaker 1: came true anyway, and therefore he did not have to
Speaker 1: pay the money he previously announced. This statement offended art Bell,
Speaker 1: who opined that this was merely a publicity stunt on
Speaker 1: Creskin's part. And officially banned Crescin from his show. The
Speaker 1: Wikipedia article goes on to say, as far back as
Speaker 1: January of nineteen seventy three, a magazine carried an interview
Speaker 1: with Creskin in which he alluded to the possibility of
Speaker 1: this stunt and to the dangers of the madness of
Speaker 1: crowds in general. And there's an excerpt here. It says
Speaker 1: Crescin is aware of both the benefits and dangers of hypnotism,
Speaker 1: and claims that given an audience of two hundred people, quote,
Speaker 1: I'll have them seeing flying saucers. Take the same crowd
Speaker 1: to Times Square on a hot evening, and you can
Speaker 1: have them screaming fire in quote. So that's just some
Speaker 1: of the controversy here surrounding the amazing Crescin. Well, look,
Speaker 1: when this whole incident happened in Las Vegas, well that
Speaker 1: was around twenty years ago, and I have never talked
Speaker 1: to Crescin, so I figured it was time for me
Speaker 1: to get his side of the story. Plus, I recently
Speaker 1: watched a movie kind of a dark comedy produced by
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks back in two thousand and eight and starring
Speaker 1: John Malkovich that was inspired by the Amazing Crescin. It's
Speaker 1: called The Great Buck Howard, and it was kind of
Speaker 1: hard to find, actually, but Lauren and I enjoyed watching it.
Speaker 1: And I will tell you that interviewing the Amazing Crescin,
Speaker 1: and this was over the telephone, it was kind of tricky.
Speaker 1: He definitely knows the Jedi mind trick. So often I
Speaker 1: would ask a question and he would sort of answer
Speaker 1: it in a roundabout way, so editing this was a
Speaker 1: bit of a chore. And if it sounds somewhat choppy,
Speaker 1: well you know why. But listen, we had a warm,
Speaker 1: friendly conversation. He is a true legend, and I think
Speaker 1: you will be surprised by some of the things that
Speaker 1: he had to say. He was born in New Jersey
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty five. And here is my first conversation
Speaker 1: ever with one of history's most successful entertainers, a man
Speaker 1: famous for his mental stunts and stage hypnotism, the Amazing Crescin.
Speaker 1: His website is Amazing Crescin dot com. That is k
Speaker 1: R E s ki n dot com the legendary Amazing Crescin. Welcome,
Speaker 1: sir to the show.
Speaker 4: Josh. I'm going to tell you, and this is the
Speaker 4: first time we have spoken to listeners here, I should
Speaker 4: really know this. I'm very excited that you have a
Speaker 4: program of this nature and that you're you have an
Speaker 4: enthusiasm about the program. The program is live, by the way, folks.
Speaker 4: In the best of case, I promise you, I will
Speaker 4: dare not read Josh's thoughts on the air. I'm only joking.
Speaker 4: Joshua's the That's the other thing, Joshua. You know, we're
Speaker 4: afraid today because I travel a great deal. I have
Speaker 4: flown so far. It was announced, by the way, before
Speaker 4: the pandemic, so it's two years ago when the industry
Speaker 4: announced it. But they have figured out that I have
Speaker 4: flown in my career a little over three and one
Speaker 4: half million miles. I'm told by pilots that many of
Speaker 4: them have never flown that many miles. And the and
Speaker 4: the incidents and the experiences I've had. I mean, you
Speaker 4: know, I spent five and a half years off and on
Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia and in China and in Russia. But I
Speaker 4: have a great love for this country and I'll tell
Speaker 4: you that. And I can I can tell when you chuckle,
Speaker 4: because you have an enthusiastic laugh about a laugh about you.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: We are losing and I'm very concerned about this, and
Speaker 4: you know this, and you've you've sensed it, and prod
Speaker 4: Maven conversed about we're losing our sense of humor in
Speaker 4: the United States today, and we better listen to me, folks,
Speaker 4: because I've traveled the world and when I was a
Speaker 4: little kid, and I'm i am now eighty six years old.
Speaker 4: In my career, it goes on and on and on.
Speaker 4: If you knew my schedule, she'd say, this is almost incredible.
Speaker 4: But when I was a kid the Second World War,
Speaker 4: Bob Hope was on the radio and on the air,
Speaker 4: joking about everything I would see in the news, in
Speaker 4: the in the newshels, in the theaters, President Roosevelt. Sometimes
Speaker 4: you didn't always hear him, but you could see him
Speaker 4: slapping his leg laughing, because Hope was mocking everything in sight.
Speaker 4: If we cannot laugh at ourselves, we have lost one
Speaker 4: of the most powerful weapons to keep our country going.
Speaker 4: And it's a very important factor.
Speaker 1: But here's the most boring question I'm going to ask you, Okay,
Speaker 1: why are you called crescin Okay, I'm going to pause
Speaker 1: the interview right there, and we have to take a break.
Speaker 1: When we come back. Of course, Well he's going to
Speaker 1: address some of these big questions. You know, what happened
Speaker 1: when Art Bell supposedly banned you from coast to coast
Speaker 1: AM and what do you really think about UFOs and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. And I also want to
Speaker 1: point out that this particular show is my sixtieth Strange Things,
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of shows to produce. I initially
Speaker 1: signed on to do fifty two of these things, and
Speaker 1: so I just signed up to do more of them,
Speaker 1: and I really wanted my sixtieth show to be I
Speaker 1: don't know, a little more significant, I suppose. And I
Speaker 1: don't interview a lot of people. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: I don't interview people a lot is because when you
Speaker 1: do that, you kind of hand over the mood of
Speaker 1: your show to another person and you're not sure how
Speaker 1: it's going to turn out. But also it's actually a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of extra work. Because I'm a
Speaker 1: one man band. Okay, I do this whole show myself.
Speaker 1: I composed all but one piece of the bumper music,
Speaker 1: So when I interview somebody, I have to talk to
Speaker 1: the person and then edit everything and then you know,
Speaker 1: put it all together. It's very time consuming, and I
Speaker 1: think I might have to take a break pretty soon.
Speaker 1: I think because I haven't missed a week in sixty shows,
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to talk to Tom dan Heiser
Speaker 1: and maybe I need a little vacation. But I just
Speaker 1: want you to know that I can't talk about everything
Speaker 1: on the show. There's not enough time. That is why.
Speaker 1: If you want to really know what I'm up to
Speaker 1: and you want to be involved with my projects, you
Speaker 1: have to go to Joshua Pwarren dot com. There's no
Speaker 1: period after the P. When you type that in and
Speaker 1: put your e maladdress into the E newsletter subscription bank,
Speaker 1: it's free. These are e newsletters that I write with
Speaker 1: my own fingers. As soon as you do that, you're
Speaker 1: going to receive an on the automated email from me
Speaker 1: with links to all kinds of really cool, free interesting
Speaker 1: stuff to make your life much more magical. And I'll
Speaker 1: be able to keep you informed of what I'm up to,
Speaker 1: regardless of what it is. I have enterprises all over
Speaker 1: the world. I just signed a contract to also work
Speaker 1: on some really cool TV stuff that I wasn't expecting.
Speaker 1: But I was like, this is too good. I can't
Speaker 1: turn this down. Joshuapwarren dot com. That's my name. You're
Speaker 1: listening to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast a M Paranormal podcast Network, and I will
Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I
Speaker 1: am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren,
Speaker 1: beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every
Speaker 1: night is silver. And now let's get back to my interview,
Speaker 1: the first one ever with the amazing Crescin. But here's
Speaker 1: the most boring question I'm going to ask you. Okay,
Speaker 1: why are you called Crescin?
Speaker 4: I got to tell you the story because a lot
Speaker 4: of people don't know this. I knew what I wanted
Speaker 4: to do when I was five years old, and people
Speaker 4: are fascinating because there's now four different groups that wanted
Speaker 4: to a movie based on my work or different areas
Speaker 4: of my work. When I say on my work or
Speaker 4: different areas of my work, aside from my entertainment, which
Speaker 4: is of course the passion of my life. I have
Speaker 4: been involved in over three hundred and fifty eight crime
Speaker 4: cases in the Western world, working with law enforcement to
Speaker 4: help solve crimes. And those very few of those stories
Speaker 4: are known. And I said, my god, question, we could
Speaker 4: build a movie just around the experiences when I was
Speaker 4: nearly murdered in a crime case and brought in a
Speaker 4: and and I never sought to do this to gain
Speaker 4: publicity because I had my following through the entertainment world
Speaker 4: and sover. But they say, people would like to hear
Speaker 4: about this and understand what is going on.
Speaker 1: Why are you called Well for one thing, you just
Speaker 1: believe I got to tell you what? Okay? Well, for
Speaker 1: one thing, you just blew my mind because I had
Speaker 1: I figured you were going to say, oh, I'm an entertainer.
Speaker 1: You're telling me you've been solving crimes.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, uh uh and and some some some
Speaker 4: are would be recognized by people because they were major,
Speaker 4: major incidents. I can tell you. Let me tell you
Speaker 4: things that people don't know about me and find absolutely
Speaker 4: as they say, Kristin can't. And I'm trying to do this.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to set aside every week or so an
Speaker 4: evening where I'm not performing or doing a performance which
Speaker 4: usually runs two hours, little over two hours, but in
Speaker 4: which I'm meeting with a vast audience, and they are
Speaker 4: asking me questions about my career because people said, Krestin,
Speaker 4: how did this full? Well? When I was five years old,
Speaker 4: I couldn't read, but my mother would read me comic books.
Speaker 4: I collected a lot of comic books. But I'm an
Speaker 4: avid reader now when I'm home, I read four books
Speaker 4: a night. No, I don't speed read, don't I read.
Speaker 4: I read through, but I can grasp a paragraph in
Speaker 4: a few seconds. I have over eight thousand books. My
Speaker 4: librariy has been filmed by the BBC in Canada. But
Speaker 4: at the same time she'd be reading comics. And it
Speaker 4: was a comic being read to me. A few people
Speaker 4: will know about. It was popular in the nineteen forties,
Speaker 4: fifty sixties, seventies, and it was called Mandrake The Magician War,
Speaker 4: and it was written by a Leafalk. And he was
Speaker 4: not a magician. He had hypnotic abilities, he had telepassic abilities.
Speaker 4: He fought crime and so forth. And while when we
Speaker 4: went out and played cops and Roberson, what have you
Speaker 4: I played instead of a police span or whatever? Have you,
Speaker 4: I played Mandrake in this imaginary fantasy the world and
Speaker 4: so forth, and it became a passion in my life.
Speaker 4: I started doing this in school. I started doing experiments
Speaker 4: on Fridays for about a half an hour. The features
Speaker 4: would set aside a half an hour in fourth and
Speaker 4: sixth grade, and I would attempt to read the thoughts
Speaker 4: in my audience. I remember in one case, I said,
Speaker 4: Jane Hamilton, she was in the back of the room.
Speaker 4: It was in sixth grade. I said, you're thinking I
Speaker 4: told you to think of a movie, but you're you're
Speaker 4: thinking of a movie you saw a year ago. She said,
Speaker 4: was right, and I said yeah, it was around Christmas time,
Speaker 4: and I gave her the name of the movie.
Speaker 1: All right, so why are you called Crescin.
Speaker 4: Because well, my original name was Kresgy. I'm a Polish
Speaker 4: I'm Polish Kriesge. But I didn't want to have a
Speaker 4: name that I didn't want to create a maybe because
Speaker 4: there were department stores all over town in New Jersey
Speaker 4: when I was a kid Kresty Parmis. So I wanted
Speaker 4: to create my own name. So I took the k
Speaker 4: r ees dropped the ge out of the letter K
Speaker 4: who was a famous show business mystery worker in a
Speaker 4: century or two before before I was ever born. So
Speaker 4: I deded the k and I added, I nd.
Speaker 1: Now, as I was saying earlier, I thought I was
Speaker 1: going to talk to you and you would say, I'm
Speaker 1: an entertainer and ESP may or may not exist all this,
Speaker 1: But you're telling me that you actually believe that ESP
Speaker 1: is real and you have been using this for practical purposes.
Speaker 1: Is that correct?
Speaker 4: I feel to a degree, I don't claim to be
Speaker 4: a psychic. I respect people who who I feel that
Speaker 4: they're psychics what have you. But I feel that I
Speaker 4: have a natural gift. I don't understand everything I do,
Speaker 4: but that does not make it mysterious or a cult
Speaker 4: or what have you.
Speaker 1: So okay, So where is the line here between an
Speaker 1: entertainer and actually being someone who understands that ESP exists?
Speaker 1: And you said you've been solving crimes for good Lord's sake,
Speaker 1: I mean, help help us all understand that, because that's
Speaker 1: going to be confusing for most people.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it could be. The point of the matter
Speaker 4: is one of the great secrets of my life is
Speaker 4: I've learned to listen and hear and tune in to
Speaker 4: people to a tremendous depth. And I don't mean mystically
Speaker 4: that I'm using a crystal ball or what have you.
Speaker 4: But if I talk to people, I can you can
Speaker 4: ask people who work for me and people in television.
Speaker 4: If I pick up a phone and someone is called in,
Speaker 4: I can tell you within twenty seconds they're upset, something's
Speaker 4: happening with the family, or they're happy, or they're in
Speaker 4: the sound of their voice something gets to me and
Speaker 4: I can really zero in on how they're thinking and
Speaker 4: what they're thinking. I don't have the answers to everything.
Speaker 4: I don't mean it in that way, but that's part
Speaker 4: of the key to what I do.
Speaker 1: We hear this term suggestion a lot, yes, but how
Speaker 1: do we do But how does that term pract apply
Speaker 1: in the real world on a day to day.
Speaker 4: BASI The power suggestion is a very formidable force. It's
Speaker 4: being abused right now by some of the news broadcasts
Speaker 4: that have just sort of the news and what have you.
Speaker 4: And I will tell you a story now, which I
Speaker 4: think has to be told so that people can understand.
Speaker 4: We all know of a famous religion and I knew
Speaker 4: him very well, being very close a legendary actor was
Speaker 4: the name of Orson Wells, a great actor who played
Speaker 4: the War of the War and did the radio thing
Speaker 4: the War of the World what have you. You know,
Speaker 4: there's a famous story in the early late eighteenth the
Speaker 4: nineteen thirties where panic hit the nation because by his
Speaker 4: radio show he created a panic of outside the forces
Speaker 4: coming into the world and what have UFOs and powers
Speaker 4: and what have you, And it were so dramatic that
Speaker 4: he became a legend in just that one dealing with
Speaker 4: the war of the world. That's not the true story.
Speaker 4: The true story. Now, folks, hear this. If you talk
Speaker 4: about this in college or in high school and in
Speaker 4: psychology classes, know the full picture of this. Orson Wells
Speaker 4: was a great actor, a brilliant, brilliant man. He was
Speaker 4: a fan of mine and I always admired him. But
Speaker 4: when the when the Orson Wells was going to do H. G.
Speaker 4: Wells War of the worlds, you have to understand that
Speaker 4: there were many, many rumors of possibility, influences of outside
Speaker 4: countries coming into this country. Inevitably Japan, the Japanese attacks,
Speaker 4: and Germany attacked, and what have you, and we had
Speaker 4: we had a breakout of war. Outside of the nation,
Speaker 4: but then it covered the whole world. But this hadn't
Speaker 4: happened yet. Nothing had happened. There was no attack, nothing
Speaker 4: like that, but there were and the rumors were getting
Speaker 4: stronger and stronger and stronger. Then something happened. Orson Wells
Speaker 4: decided to do the War of the Worlds where UFOs
Speaker 4: and other factors were coming into the country and influencing
Speaker 4: our country. But he decided to do it in a
Speaker 4: different way. He decided to do it like a news broadcast.
Speaker 4: So when the War of the Worlds went on, they
Speaker 4: introduced us as Orson Welles the War of the Worlds
Speaker 4: based on it, and you heard the story. But there
Speaker 4: was another problem. The biggest radio show at that time
Speaker 4: at that hour was Edgar Burke and Charlot McCarthy, a ventriloquist,
Speaker 4: the Brilliant and must be Loved Men, And that night
Speaker 4: the guest on the show was going to be an
Speaker 4: opera singer because he had a lot of people from
Speaker 4: the movies that came on a show, and a lot
Speaker 4: of the public got turned off by the idea of
Speaker 4: an opera singer. She wasn't going to sing opera, but
Speaker 4: she was appearing on the show, and they got turned off,
Speaker 4: and they turned the station and they moved to CBS,
Speaker 4: where you now heard Orson Wells, not introducing a radio show,
Speaker 4: but already in the middle of a show broadcasting it
Speaker 4: in New Jersey, there are landings taking place. This is happening,
Speaker 4: and this is happening. And the public heard this in
Speaker 4: the middle of the station, with the setting already hinting
Speaker 4: that we could be attacked in some way, and believe
Speaker 4: it or not, that's what caused the panic, The combination
Speaker 4: of rumor of a miss Neews being given out and
Speaker 4: what have you, and it changed our whole society at
Speaker 4: that point. I've written twenty two books and a movie,
Speaker 4: The Great Buck Howard, in which Sean Malkovich plays me
Speaker 4: in the movie. It's not a violent about that.
Speaker 1: Is that a source subject? Because that's not a very
Speaker 1: flowering portrayal. How did that help?
Speaker 4: Now, it's a it's a character thing. He did an
Speaker 4: excellent job. He did an excellent job where it was
Speaker 4: a really but it wasn't my my life story in
Speaker 4: any way, shape or form. Now let me tell you.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you what is more exciting. And you
Speaker 4: are the first to hear this nationally, but it's going
Speaker 4: to be talked about scores and scores shows the character
Speaker 4: and I'm not in the I'm not in the movie.
Speaker 4: I'm a tree in the movie. But the person's voice
Speaker 4: you're hearing, who's playing the magic tree. It's the amazing question,
Speaker 4: except that it has just been announced it is coming
Speaker 4: to television and will be an animated series. Isn't that wild?
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I'm so well, thank you very much for
Speaker 1: announcing that here and boyd, yeah, that's I can't wait.
Speaker 1: And you know, I want to ask you this because again,
Speaker 1: you know, I do work for Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: at this point, and I understand and I read that
Speaker 1: the late great Art Bell and you from Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast AM because I live in Las Vegas, you know,
Speaker 1: and I've read on Wikipedia that he banned you in
Speaker 1: two thousand and two because of a prediction you made
Speaker 1: about UFO in Las Vegas. What's the real story there?
Speaker 1: Time for a break. You're listening to Strange Things on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network.
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast. I am Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the
Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. Now back to my
Speaker 1: interview with the amazing crescin. I read that the late
Speaker 1: great Art Bell banned you from Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: because I live in Las Vegas, you know. And I
Speaker 1: read on Wikipedia that he banned you in two thousand
Speaker 1: and two because of a prediction you made about UFO
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. What's the real story there?
Speaker 4: The real story there? Yeah, the real story there is,
Speaker 4: and there are the thousands of people that were there.
Speaker 4: I made a prediction. I made a prediction because I
Speaker 4: wanted to show how powerful an idea can be. And
Speaker 4: I reiterated this on many many shows. Carson, everybody else,
Speaker 4: you know that there would be a sighting, and I
Speaker 4: put I named the night that it would take place
Speaker 4: at Las Vegas, California. Now be let's let's let's get
Speaker 4: to Art Belt because I think he may have regretted
Speaker 4: this later. Robert won't go into this anyway anyway. So
Speaker 4: I made that prediction, and then the police came to
Speaker 4: me because I was going to be there in person,
Speaker 4: and said, Christian, we've got to do something about this.
Speaker 4: We're not getting hundreds of people, We're getting thousands of people.
Speaker 4: The desert's going to be crowded, and we're going to
Speaker 4: have to get secured your mind if we have police,
Speaker 4: and I said no, no, I'd like them to be there.
Speaker 4: So let's put this together. There I was, and there
Speaker 4: were a thousands of people in front of me, and
Speaker 4: I said, yea, it's getting close to that time. It's
Speaker 4: nighttime and so forth. I said, look and I put
Speaker 4: it upward, and hundreds of people, not thousands, because the
Speaker 4: day didn't all respond, but hundreds of people started pointing
Speaker 4: out UFOs. And the one lady was crying. She says,
Speaker 4: oh my god, it looks like it's going to land.
Speaker 4: And what I demonstrated was what the power of suggestion
Speaker 4: can do. When it was all at the end of
Speaker 4: the ten twenty minutes, I erased the image so that
Speaker 4: they would not be confused on what they had experienced
Speaker 4: or seen. But there were no UFOs there. So mister
Speaker 4: Bell decides to announce, well, I betrayed the integrity. Now
Speaker 4: I happened to believe in UFOs. I've I've flown with
Speaker 4: some of the most responsible people I've ever known, and
Speaker 4: that Arthur Godfrey's one of them, who said he found
Speaker 4: a UFO he felt was flying right next to his
Speaker 4: plane and what have you. So, so it was gone
Speaker 4: and what have you, and I went back to the hotel.
Speaker 4: It was changing my clothes and then started getting cold
Speaker 4: by some of the press that was still there. Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: I'm very proud to say this. Throughout Vegas that night.
Speaker 4: An hour and a half later, we're UFO citing the
Speaker 4: scene and they were not by suggestion, they were seen
Speaker 4: by pilots and what have you. So I had a
Speaker 4: prediction that came true, but also had to listen to it.
Speaker 4: It would be idiotic and slightly limited if we thought
Speaker 4: that we were the only intelligence in the universe. God
Speaker 4: forbid that be the case.
Speaker 1: I think that is all I'm going to play for you.
Speaker 1: We talked for about an hour, but those are the
Speaker 1: most significant highlights. Again, his website is amazing CRESCIN dot com,
Speaker 1: k R E s k i N dot com. And
Speaker 1: so what do you think? What do you think about
Speaker 1: the conflict that he apparently had around twenty years ago
Speaker 1: with Artbell, you know, as a host on the Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast am paranormal podcast network. You should not be
Speaker 1: surprised for me to explain that Art Bell made a
Speaker 1: big impact on my life. And because Art Bell created
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast a m and George Nori has also
Speaker 1: had a big impact on my life. And one thing
Speaker 1: I will tell you about being interviewed by Art Bell
Speaker 1: because he started interviewing me many, many years ago when
Speaker 1: I was quite a young man and I knew him
Speaker 1: for years, and as you probably realize, in my living room,
Speaker 1: I have got Art Bell's wooden alien statue standing there
Speaker 1: and it's one of my most prized possessions. When Art
Speaker 1: Bell was interviewing you, there was no doubt that he
Speaker 1: was in absolute control of the conversation. He had these
Speaker 1: very strict guidelines about how he wanted that show to
Speaker 1: be presented. And I can understand why that it would
Speaker 1: be easy at that time, it would have been easy
Speaker 1: to tick him off. In fact, I got into a
Speaker 1: debate with Art Bell one time about EVP electronic voice phenomenon.
Speaker 1: I actually was more doubtful about the legitimacy of much
Speaker 1: of it than Art Bell. So you know now that
Speaker 1: you've heard what I read you about the conflict, and
Speaker 1: you've heard what Crescin had to say, you can just
Speaker 1: sort of make up your own mind, I guess as
Speaker 1: to how you feel about that. But nonetheless, as I said,
Speaker 1: Creskin was very friendly to me. We had, as you
Speaker 1: can tell, a really interesting conversation. And one thing that
Speaker 1: is kind of outstanding. You know, I was born and
Speaker 1: raised in Asheville, North Carolina, and I have tours there
Speaker 1: the Haunted Ashville Ghost Tours, which are very popular. I
Speaker 1: also have tours out here in the Las Vegas area,
Speaker 1: the Haunted Boulder City Tours. And for over ten years
Speaker 1: I had a museum in Asheville called the Ashville Mystery Museum,
Speaker 1: and my wife Lauren bought me one of the coolest
Speaker 1: things I think, I think anybody's ever given me. She
Speaker 1: bought me the amazing Crescin esp kit, which I think
Speaker 1: was created in the nineteen sixties. He Crescin teamed up
Speaker 1: with Milton Bradley. And the problem is, I just I
Speaker 1: love the artwork and I loved everything about it. But
Speaker 1: the reason I don't have a museum anymore is that
Speaker 1: it was in the basement of the Asheville Masonic Temple
Speaker 1: and it would regularly get flooded down there because it
Speaker 1: sits at the bottom of a hill and it's a
Speaker 1: really old building, and so the Crescan esp Kit it
Speaker 1: ended up being severely damaged by water. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if it might have gotten trashed. I'm afraid to
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say, but most of the cool stuff
Speaker 1: that I had in my museum was transferred as in
Speaker 1: storage and someday, hopefully it will be on display again.
Speaker 1: But I don't remember exactly what was in the Crescan
Speaker 1: esp Kit. I believe that it had a pendulum and
Speaker 1: some cards, and you know, it was just it was
Speaker 1: the kind of product that reminded you of Auija board.
Speaker 1: And he said that Milton Bradley sold over one million
Speaker 1: of those things, and even honored him by giving him
Speaker 1: like this fine wooden version of the game which he
Speaker 1: has at his house, which I'm trying to get him
Speaker 1: to sell me, Like I don't have enough stuff already.
Speaker 1: People are always contacting me, you know, and they're asking
Speaker 1: me if I want to buy crazy things, and I say,
Speaker 1: my house is packed. I have at least two storage
Speaker 1: units on the West coast that are packed at least
Speaker 1: two or three on the East Coast that are packed,
Speaker 1: like that's what you see when you have a museum,
Speaker 1: you get to be a professional hoarder. I guess. So eventually, again,
Speaker 1: when the time is right, all that will be on
Speaker 1: display and we'll see how the world unfolds in the
Speaker 1: near future. But you know, when when Creskin was talking
Speaker 1: about believing in UFOs, I was actually talking to him
Speaker 1: the day that this story came out. And I'm going
Speaker 1: to try to at least start talking about this before
Speaker 1: we hit our next break. This is actually a Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast am story that was posted by Tim Bannall
Speaker 1: and the headline is China's lunar rover to investigate mystery
Speaker 1: hut spotted on the far side of the Moon. And
Speaker 1: it's interesting talking to Creskin thinking about what he was
Speaker 1: saying about war of the worlds and people freaking out
Speaker 1: and his own belief in the power of suggestion and
Speaker 1: how people would react to this sort of thing, And
Speaker 1: of course, you know, I want to thank him very
Speaker 1: much for being on this show, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was really interesting that this news story came out and
Speaker 1: it sort of coincided with some of the things that
Speaker 1: we were talking about gosh, let's see. Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'll start reading this China's You tube and that's spelled
Speaker 1: why you Tu China's You. Two two lunar rover is
Speaker 1: on route to investigate a curious cube like anomaly that
Speaker 1: has been dubbed the mystery Hut spotted on the far
Speaker 1: side of the Moon. Word of the weird observation reportedly
Speaker 1: came about by way of the Chinese National Space Administration's
Speaker 1: are Space website at a post that says the blog
Speaker 1: recounts how scientists were admiring the horizon as seen by
Speaker 1: the rover when quote suddenly, an obtrusive cube on the
Speaker 1: northern skyline attracted their attention as it piers through the
Speaker 1: winding of the skyline like a mysterious hut that appeared
Speaker 1: out of thin air. Do you remember the movie two
Speaker 1: thousand and one, A Space Odyssey? More thoughts on this
Speaker 1: when we come back. And also, I don't mean to
Speaker 1: be a fear mongerer here, my friends, but it's true.
Speaker 1: It's true. All the psychics I know are freaking out
Speaker 1: right now. I'll explain. I'm Joshua P. Warren that you
Speaker 1: are listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'll be back after
Speaker 1: these important messages. Welcome back to the final segment of
Speaker 1: this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast a M paranormal podcast Network. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warren. And it's definitely bizarre to think there
Speaker 1: is a dark side of the Moon. What that means
Speaker 1: is there is a hemisphere of the Moon that is
Speaker 1: always facing away from Earth due to a phenomenon known
Speaker 1: as title locking. Now look that you're probably if you've
Speaker 1: never watched the animation of that, it's not gonna make
Speaker 1: much sense. And I'm not going to even try to
Speaker 1: explain this on a podcast, but it is amazing to
Speaker 1: think there's a whole side of the Moon we just
Speaker 1: never get to see from our earth bound telescopes. We
Speaker 1: just have to take the word from these governments that
Speaker 1: go up there and look around. And now we have
Speaker 1: this story again. This is Coast to Coast AM. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is, according to the Chinese, some kind of a
Speaker 1: big cube shaped object on the surface of the Moon,
Speaker 1: and in the movie two thousand and one, a space
Speaker 1: Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. You know, there is this obelisk
Speaker 1: that's discovered on the Moon, and it somehow holds the
Speaker 1: key to us comprehending that we are not alone, that
Speaker 1: there are other ntel forces in the universe. The article
Speaker 1: goes on to say, let's see. The report went on
Speaker 1: to note that there was a sizeable impact crater near
Speaker 1: the object, and then fantastically wondered if the oddity is
Speaker 1: quote a home built by aliens after crash landing, or
Speaker 1: quote a pioneer spacecraft of the predecessors to explore the
Speaker 1: Moon end quote. A less imaginative explanation put forward by
Speaker 1: scientists is that the anomaly is merely a boulder that
Speaker 1: came to rest upon the surface of the Moon by
Speaker 1: whatever created the crater next to it. But that, as
Speaker 1: it says, be that as it may. The team behind
Speaker 1: the rover are understandably intrigued by the peculiar observation and
Speaker 1: an admirable display of scientific inquiry, have now directed the
Speaker 1: craft to head toward words the mystery hut. This is
Speaker 1: especially interesting to me because you've heard me talk before
Speaker 1: about the fact that I worked for years as an
Speaker 1: apprentice to a NASA Hall of Fame scientist named Charles Yost,
Speaker 1: and he was always amazed by this piece of footage
Speaker 1: that appears to show something like a smoke stack, some
Speaker 1: kind of a rectangular looking object jetting from the surface
Speaker 1: of the Moon, and a piece of NASA footage. And
Speaker 1: if you've never seen this, go to Joshua Pwarren dot
Speaker 1: com and click the link there in the menu to
Speaker 1: the Gallery of the Strange, and you'll see a heading
Speaker 1: there that says a smoke stack on the Moon. And
Speaker 1: when you click that, you can see this footage and
Speaker 1: you get some more thoughts on that. In fact, I
Speaker 1: was on a program that aired on the Sci Fi Channel.
Speaker 1: I think it was two hours back in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: I think let's see yeah, okay, yeah, twenty fifteen call
Speaker 1: Aliens on the Moon, Aliens on the Moon. I have
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, and so if you go to Amazon Prime
Speaker 1: right now, you can watch this. Okay, say, this is
Speaker 1: a ninety minute documentary. You can watch this for free
Speaker 1: in some locations. And anyway, Aliens on the Moon the
Speaker 1: truth exposed and that mystery is addressed, as well as
Speaker 1: many others. And you know, I was talking on a
Speaker 1: recent show about self fulfilling prophecies. You have to be
Speaker 1: very careful because if you tell people to something bad
Speaker 1: is about to happen, then they might make decisions that
Speaker 1: create that bad outcome. So I avoid fear mongoring and
Speaker 1: doom and gloom stuff as much as I can. But look,
Speaker 1: the reality is, we're all living in the same world
Speaker 1: right now, and this is I'm recording this in early
Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty one, and the world is pretty
Speaker 1: messed up still. I mean, it's I think any historian
Speaker 1: would be like, yeah, this is a pretty messed up
Speaker 1: period for human history. And when you try to look
Speaker 1: at the future and figure out what's going to happen,
Speaker 1: often it seems cloudy, it seems unclear. Even Yoda, I
Speaker 1: remember it, would say once in a while like, hmmm,
Speaker 1: he wasn't certain what was going to happen. So I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna go ahead and say it. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people all around the world who call themselves psychics,
Speaker 1: and not all of them, but almost all of them
Speaker 1: have been contacting me and telling me that they're freaking
Speaker 1: out that something big is about to happen. And I
Speaker 1: don't want to make any claims about whether it's something
Speaker 1: good or something bad. It's just something big and kind
Speaker 1: of shocking, and there's a tremor. I mean, yes, a
Speaker 1: lot of them are saying it's going to be bad.
Speaker 1: But that could be a relative situation. I mean, everything
Speaker 1: is kind of relative. So let's say that the Chinese
Speaker 1: have discovered on the moon. Sure enough, there's proof that
Speaker 1: they're going to reveal that other intelligence is out there,
Speaker 1: which that to me, that's like a duh thing. That's
Speaker 1: that would not be surprising to me at all. But
Speaker 1: what if, like Creskin was saying, it's true, Like, if
Speaker 1: that's revealed, people will flip out. They will panic, and
Speaker 1: they will start doing a bunch of crazy stuff because
Speaker 1: they panic.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I figure I need to toss it out there though,
Speaker 1: So there you go. I've done it. Okay, before we
Speaker 1: end the show, how about a more positive story. This
Speaker 1: is a story from Fox News. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I watch Fox and CNN and ABC. Nowadays, the media
Speaker 1: is so biased. Everybody assumes they know what your political
Speaker 1: beliefs are because of what news sources you look at,
Speaker 1: and I look at all of it. Here's a story,
Speaker 1: what's the Okay, here's the headline, what's the story with agnog?
Speaker 1: Where it came from? And how it served? Eggnog has
Speaker 1: been a popular Christmas drink so long even George Washington
Speaker 1: had a recipe for it see Nice Holiday Story. There's
Speaker 1: no denying that the month of December is peak eggnog time.
Speaker 1: The sweet and spicy beverage has been a holiday staple
Speaker 1: for hundreds of years, but not everyone knows what it's
Speaker 1: knows what it's made of. I guess there's a typle
Speaker 1: here where it comes from or why we drink it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so they go on to say eggnog, which is actually
Speaker 1: a drinkable form of custard, originated in medieval Britain, where
Speaker 1: locals created a hot, creamy, ale like drink. The name
Speaker 1: agnog is a combination of noggin, which is a wooden cup,
Speaker 1: and grog, a strong beer, and one of the experts
Speaker 1: here says that early colonists traveling to America helped the
Speaker 1: drink become popular during the holidays, as locally farmed eggs
Speaker 1: and milk, in addition to locally made rum and whiskey,
Speaker 1: was readily available. So anyway, they give all kinds of
Speaker 1: different tips on how you can enjoy eggnog. You know,
Speaker 1: here's the thing about my personal opinion. I eggnog is
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's like, yeah, I can handle
Speaker 1: it at Christmas time. I wouldn't want to drink it
Speaker 1: every day. I'm not a huge fan of it, but yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I can do it. It says, if homemade eggnog isn't
Speaker 1: something that sounds appealing to you, there are countless dairy
Speaker 1: and egg manufacturers who have packaged their tried and true recipes.
Speaker 1: All right, blah blah blah. So anyway, yeah do you
Speaker 1: like Do you like eggnog year round or yeah once
Speaker 1: a year? We can handle it, all right, my friends. Well,
Speaker 1: I hope that everything turns out well for you as
Speaker 1: our year is winding down. Keep a positive mind set
Speaker 1: and take a deep breath. That's what you have to
Speaker 1: do sometimes, you know, you can't let the world determine
Speaker 1: how you feel. You have to brainwash yourself. And that's
Speaker 1: why I like to play the good Fortune tone for
Speaker 1: you as often as I can. It's a vibration that
