More paranormal animals. Do you know 16 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: that Oscar, the death Sensing cat is still alive? He 17 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: lives at the Steer House Nursing and Rehab Center in Providence, 18 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: Rhode Island. He's been there since two thousand five. He 19 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: came to public attention in two thousand seven when he 20 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: was featured in an article by Dr David Dosa in 21 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: the New England Journal of Medicine, and according to Dosa, 22 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Oscar appears able to predict the impending death of terminally 23 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: ill patients by choosing to nap next to people a 24 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 1: few hours before they die. He Uh. The cat there 25 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: was the subject of a book that Dosa wrote in 26 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: two thousand and ten called Making Rounds with Oscar The 27 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat. So they say that Oscar, 28 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: the therapy cat is in this forty one bed facility, 29 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: and he has been described generally as aloof and quote 30 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: not a cat that's friendly to people end quote, sometimes 31 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: hissing at people when he wants to be left alone. 32 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: Why is it that things named Oscar are always grouchy? 33 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: Uh says. After Oscar had been at Steerhouse for around 34 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: six months, staff noticed that Oscar often chose to nap 35 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: next to residents who died within several hours of his arrival. 36 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: It seemed to staff as if Oscar were trying to 37 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: comfort and provide company to people as they died. Joan Tino, 38 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: a physician there, said, quote, it's not that the cat 39 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: is consistently there first, but the cat always does manage 40 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: to make an appearance, and it always seems to be 41 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: in the last two hours end quote. After Oscar accurately 42 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: predicted twenty five deaths, staff started calling family members of 43 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: residents as soon as they discovered him sleeping next to someone, 44 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: in order to notify them and give them an opportunity 45 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: to say goodbye before the impending death. How about that? 46 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the facility calls you up and says, hey, 47 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: you should know Oscar just curled up with Grandma, so 48 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: might want to come down here and see her one 49 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: last time before Oscar eats her. That's terrible. I'm joking. 50 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm joking. Nobody can explain how that Oscar does this? Okay, 51 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: And the obvious thing that people ask, can't he smell something, 52 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: some kind of a chemical an odor that's released just 53 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: before death occurs? Uh? Well, if so, then what what 54 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: makes him special? Why don't all cats consistently do that? 55 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: You know? Um? And then also one person here speculates 56 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: that maybe he just picks up on the stillness and 57 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: lack of movement in the room rather than the smell. 58 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Nobody knows how this cat consense death. If 59 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: we could figure that out. That might tell us something 60 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: really fascinating about well, I guess certainly the paranormal power 61 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: of pets, but what death itself is. I'll keep an 62 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: eye on that story for you. We'll see if we 63 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: and figure out more about what's happening with Oscar, and 64 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: then let's go let's switch to dogs. Do you know 65 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: about the suicide bridge for dogs? It's in Overton, actually, 66 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: it's called the Overton Bridge. That's spelled O V E 67 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: R T O u N. It's called the Overton Bridge 68 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: and it's in Scotland. Now. This is a big, beautiful, 69 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: wide gray bridge and it spans a deep ravine next 70 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: to this striking majestic castle. The ravine is about fifty 71 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: ft deep and this bridge was built in eighteen and 72 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: it's always had a spooky reputation. But the stories really 73 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: hit the media in two thousand five. That's when they 74 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: say a lot of publicity was given to reports of 75 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: a number of dogs either all ing or jumping from 76 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: the bridge, resulting an injury or death upon landing on 77 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: the rocks there fifty feet or fifteen meters below, and 78 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: explanations for these deaths have ranged from claims of ghosts 79 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: and supernatural causes to natural explanations of dogs being attracted 80 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: to the scent or sounds of nearby animals in the 81 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: undergrowth and uh consequently losing their balance on the sloping 82 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: surfaces of the bridge there and as we look more 83 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: into the specifics here, it says from approximately two thousand 84 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: five onward, stories of dogs apparently leaping to their deaths 85 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: from the bridge have continued to be published. A canine 86 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: psychologist named David Sands said that maybe it has something 87 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: to do with the surrounding foliage, that given the extremely 88 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: steep drop off the side of the bridge, the appearance 89 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: of the ground, and maybe combined with the residual odor 90 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: from mal mink urine could all combine to lure dogs 91 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: into this vulnerable position where they fall or just jump 92 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: off the bridge. That theory, however, was protested by a 93 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: local hunter and a resident of fifty years named John Joyce, 94 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: who stated the quote there are no mink in the 95 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: area end quote. In two thousand nineteen, the owners of 96 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: the castle there, which they call the Overton House, Bob 97 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: and Melissa Hill, said that in seventeen years of residing 98 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: at the house, they have actually witnessed a number of 99 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: dogs become agitated just jump up and fall from the bridge. 100 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: So this is that's erie, okay, but listen to this. 101 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: This is just downright creepy. In October of a man 102 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: went to that bridge and through his two week old 103 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: son to his death from the bridge because he believed 104 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: that his son was an incarnation of the devil. And 105 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: he then attempted to commit suicide several times, first by 106 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,359 Speaker 1: attempting to jump off the bridge and later by slashing 107 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: his wrists. Now does that kind of give you some 108 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,359 Speaker 1: goose bumps? What a setting? A spooky old, big majestic 109 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: castle in Scotland with a bridge where dogs are jumping 110 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: off and a guy just walks up and throws a 111 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: baby in, saying this is the incarnation of the devil, 112 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: and then tries to kill himself. I mean, like, you know, 113 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, I'd like to travel there and 114 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: investigate it, but I'm also kind of intimidated by it. 115 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: You know, as time has gone on, I've become more 116 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: and more hesitant to go to really dark, evil places. Um, 117 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: but I don't know when when it's okay to travel again. 118 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: I might just have to say what the heck, I'm 119 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: going to Scotland and I'm going to check this place 120 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: out and see is this land cursed? Um? You know, 121 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: is surely there's something going on here that because you know, 122 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: you think that again, if there's if there was a 123 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: more natural, common explanation for this, and that kind of 124 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: thing would happen more often at other places around the planet. 125 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: So there must be something paranormal happening. There's something these 126 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: dogs are sensing. I don't know if they're if they're 127 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: attacking something, or if they are becoming possessed by something. 128 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: It kind of sounds like maybe a possession though, doesn't it. 129 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: Maybe it's both. I don't That's what I'm saying. I 130 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: don't have all the answers here, but dogs and cats 131 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: have long been associated with the paranormal. In fact, it 132 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: really goes all the way back two this terrible book 133 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: that was published in let's see, perhaps you've heard of it. 134 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: It's called the Malleus Maleficarum, which translates into the Hammer 135 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: of Witches. Now even though okay, well, this book was 136 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: the handbook that was used to persecute, you know, torture 137 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: and kill all these quote unquote witches back in the day. 138 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: It was written by Henrik Kramer and James Springer, and 139 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: they were Dominican Catholic friars who helped to spearhead this 140 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: whole witch hunting craze of the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. 141 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: During that period of time, sales of this book, The 142 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: Malleus Maleficarum, were only exceeded by the Bible. And by 143 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: the way the Bible says quote thou shalt not suffer 144 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: a witch to live in quote. So up to millions 145 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: of people may have been tortured and killed due to 146 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: the influence of this handbook. And in this book they 147 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: talk explicitly about why cats are evil, and they get 148 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: into why dogs are holy and good. When we come 149 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: back from the break, i'll tell you more about what 150 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: they wrote and why they believe that, and then we'll 151 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: move on to some other stories, a very strange paranormal 152 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: phenomena related to animals. We'll get into some birds. I 153 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: think I even have some pretty cool audio I'm gonna 154 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: play for you.

I am 194 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: your host, the Wizard of Weird, beaming into your wormhole 195 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, 196 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver. 197 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: You know. The ancient Egyptians basically adored cats, treated them 198 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: like royalty. There are tons of cat mummies out there 199 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: all over the place. And yet the Europeans of the 200 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: Middle Ages demonized cats literally, and it was exemplified by 201 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: this book, the Malleus Maleficarum, in which they claimed that 202 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: witches liked to turn into cats and even attack people. 203 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: They tell a very detailed story and hear about a 204 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: workman who was attacked by a bunch of witches that 205 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: had turned into cats. They called cats perfidious that means 206 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: tending to betray. Said they were profigious vehicles for witches, 207 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: and this popular guide, the Malleus Maleficarum, immortalized a connection 208 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: between felines and the supernatural, for better or for worse. 209 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: On the other hand, dogs were seen as representing the 210 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: holy viewpoint and as a matter of fact, when it 211 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: comes to dogs, it says that they even represented one 212 00:16:53,360 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: of the founding um Catholic priests. There, okay, here it 213 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: is uh the see the order of preaching Friars was 214 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: it represented its first founder as a dog barking against heresy. 215 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: You see what they did there? They contrasted dogs and 216 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: cats as cats are of the devil and dogs are good. 217 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: And so you know you had the stigma surrounding cats. 218 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean, to this day you have the traditional sorcerer 219 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: with with the the purring cat sidekick. Black cats are 220 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: still thought to sometimes harbor bad luck. They're popular targets 221 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: for Halloween tricks. And we know that that's a bunch 222 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: of nonsense, don't we. We know that's hogwashed, because if 223 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: you've seen any Internet videos, you've seen plenty of videos 224 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: of dogs and cats cuddling up together. But regardless, it 225 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: just goes to show how that those two creatures are 226 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: renowned for having some kind of a paranormal or some 227 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: some kind of supernatural. Mystique surrounds both dogs and cats, 228 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: and there's some truth to them being able to see 229 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: things and perceive things that we cannot. And I think 230 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: that's why that oftentimes animals are great harbingers. You know, 231 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: they they freak out right before there's an earthquake or 232 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: some other type of disaster because they can sense things 233 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: that we can't. We don't know what it is. But 234 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: aside from dogs and cats, I will tell you one 235 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: of the strangest experiences that I ever had involved a 236 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: different type of creature. Let me just tell you the 237 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: story if you've never heard it. I grew up on 238 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: kind of a small farm in the mountains of western 239 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: North Carolina. And by small, I mean you know, we 240 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: had chickens and ducks and goats and a horse and 241 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. And we lived primarily on 242 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: a big hill. And so it was a huge pain 243 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: from me as a kid to carry food and water 244 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: up and down this hill all the time to these animals. 245 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: Um and that those hills actually backed up to a vast, 246 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: vast property of just thick woods and wilderness. Well, one 247 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: day my dad was perplexed when he discovered a chicken 248 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: had been killed, but it had not been eaten, there 249 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: was some little puncture wounds, and it's blood had been drained. Okay, 250 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: this is just like straight out of the Chio picabra lore. 251 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: And he couldn't, for the life of him figure out 252 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: what was happening. Because then it happened again and again 253 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: and again, and I mean it became a regular thing, 254 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: and just about every day he go up there and 255 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: find at least one chicken drained of blood. And that 256 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: was it. It was some little puncture wounds or things 257 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: that looked like a puncture wound, and he, you know, 258 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: he made sure that everything was sealed up tightly. Just 259 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: didn't make sense. So my dad, when he was young, 260 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: used to be a trapper, used to go out and 261 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: trap muskrats and things, and so he had some old, 262 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: rusty steel muskrat traps, and so he set he set 263 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: some bait. One night, he he had a um, let's see, 264 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: he got a giant wooden crate and he put the 265 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: traps in there with a bunch of raw, bloody chicken 266 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: all over them. And then late that night, probably about 267 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: ten o'clock at night, the dogs started barking like crazy 268 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: outside and we stepped out and we could hear those 269 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: chains on those traps jangling around up at the top 270 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: of the hill. We said, oh, something's in there. We 271 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: got something. So of course, the whole family piles out 272 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: of the house with flashlights and we go up there 273 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: and peer inside this box and saw a truly shocking sight. 274 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: Inside this giant crate is a gigantic great horned owl. 275 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: And this thing is ticked off and puffed up and mad. Okay, 276 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: and it's got one of its talents. One of its 277 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: fingers there stuck right in this trap, and I mean 278 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: it was a truly majestic thing to see. And immediately, 279 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: of course we had this problem. Okay, well, how do 280 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: we how do we release this thing now? Because we 281 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: knew if that thing got out and attacked one of us, 282 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it was gonna be bad. So my dad 283 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: ended up getting a big long pole, and my mom 284 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: and sister and I we went back, you know, towards 285 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: the house, and he was able to get that pole 286 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: in there and maneuver it enough to release that trap 287 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: and al pulled it's it's a little finger out and uh, 288 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: we just got out of there, and like you know, 289 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: went up there. Thirty minute later in the owl was gone. 290 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: We never saw that owl again, and never after that 291 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: was there another chicken drained of blood. Now, the weird 292 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: thing is to me, that clearly indicates that that great 293 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: horned owl was flying into the chicken coop every night 294 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: and sucking the blood out of a chicken. But I 295 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: have seen no evidence, uh, in in the in zoology 296 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: so to speak, that owls are supposed to do that. 297 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: Maybe there's some new data I'm not familiar with. And 298 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: you can tell me if you know more about that. 299 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: But I've always thought when I read these chop acabra stories, 300 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you can't apply that kind of thing 301 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: to a goat or you know, some some of these 302 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: big creatures. But um, for little things. I believe the 303 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: great horned owl was at least you know, responsible for that. 304 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: So it's not necessarily a paranormal thing other than the 305 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: fact that it kind of relates to a possible explanation 306 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: for some of the low scale choop a cabra and 307 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, blood sucking vampiric stuff that you hear about 308 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: out there. Birds are certainly bizarre creatures, aren't they. You know, 309 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: birds they say they are, well, they're dinosaurs that they know, 310 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: the dinosaurs evolved into birds, And when you look at 311 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: the skeletons, it sure looks that way, and look at 312 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: how remarkable they are. Birds can talk, you know, you know. 313 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 1: I was, um, I'm gonna play some audio for you 314 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: real quick, because in April of two thousand seventeen, Lauren 315 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: and I went to this beautiful Waldorf Astoria resort and 316 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico right there on the coast on the east 317 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: coast called El conquistador. And inside they had a cage 318 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: in the lobby with a parrot, a female parent named Casey, 319 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: and they had a little signed with Casey's bio and 320 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: this parrot they say was born in nineteen seven. That 321 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: parrot was ninety years old. Can you believe that a 322 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: ninety year old parrot? And so here Lauren and I 323 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: are looking at this thing, and it looked like it 324 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: was in you know, I mean, you can see this 325 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: is an old parrot, but I mean it wasn't like 326 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: half dead or anything. And if you don't know any Spanish, 327 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: you probably at least know what oh law means, right, 328 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: that says that that's hello in Spanish. And Casey was 329 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: very happy to say, oh law. You can tell this 330 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: bird's been saying oh law for ninety years. Uh. Here's 331 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: a little audio from my from my few minutes there 332 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: in the lobby with this is Lauren and me talking 333 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: to Casey. The ninety year old Puerto Rican parrot birds 334 00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: in nineteen years old. Hold on, have you ever seen 335 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: a ninety year old bird before? That's pretty wild, isn't it. 336 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: I mean, just to to try to imagine that that 337 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: bird has been around that long. The things that it 338 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: has witnessed the Great Depression, the World War Two, Man 339 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 1: on the Moon, et cetera. I told you in my 340 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: last show that marine biologist went to the South Pacific 341 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: and they were exploring this part of the seafloor known 342 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,479 Speaker 1: as the deadest spot in the ocean. And yet they 343 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: went down two d and twenty six ft that's sixty 344 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: eight point nine meters, and they found some micro organisms 345 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: there that were alive. And they claim these micro organisms 346 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: are one hundred and one point five million years old, 347 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: absolutely unimaginable, unimaginable. They believe these are the longest living 348 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: life forms ever found. And you don't think there might 349 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: be some kind of life out there in space? Oh yeah, Oh, 350 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: there's definitely life in space.

I 403 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: am your host, Joshua Pete Warren, and this is the 404 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. Do you know they 405 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: have found sponges, you know, living creatures, sponges in the 406 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: East China Sea that are over ten thousand years old. 407 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: But you might think, okay, well, microorganisms, sponges, you know these, 408 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: that's weird stuff. It's like aliens. I can't really relate 409 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: to that. Well, okay, well let's move more into animals. 410 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: You can relate to a bit better. Like a shark. Okay, 411 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: at least a shark has two eyes of mouth. It's 412 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: a big thing. You've seen as shark. I'm sure you've 413 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: been to an aquarium. The Greenland shark of the North 414 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: Atlantic Ocean can live up to five hundred and twelve years. 415 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: Think about that, a shark swimming around for five hundred 416 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: and twelve years. A tortoise named to Malila died at 417 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: the age of one hundred and eighty eight in May 418 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: of nineteen sixty six. At that time, the oldest verified vertebrate, 419 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: that tortoise, was born in seventeen seventy seven. Okay, think 420 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: about that. I'm sure that many of you listening were 421 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: alive in nineteen sixty six, and so just think there 422 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: was a tortoise alive at the same time you were 423 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: alive that was born the year after the Declaration of 424 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Independence was signed. And then right now there's a turtle 425 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: that's still alive. Jonathan, a giant tortoise living on the 426 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: island of St. Helena. He is reported to be one 427 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty nine years old right now as I speak, 428 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: and may therefore be the oldest current currently living terrestrial animal. 429 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: If that claim is true, so of the whole planet, 430 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: of the animals that we know about, it may be 431 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: that the oldest thing running around here on the ground 432 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: is Jonathan, the one hundred and eighty nine year old tortoise. 433 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: When you start thinking about these things, though, you can't 434 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: help but wonder how humans fit into it. The oldest 435 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: person to ever live that is fully documented by science, 436 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: it was a frenchwoman named gene Kalment gene Klment or 437 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: maybe it for her, it's probably Jean Colmant or something 438 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: like that, because she's French. She lived to be one 439 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two years and one hundred and sixty 440 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: four days old, so again, making her the oldest fully 441 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: scientifically documented human who has ever lived. She died on 442 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: August four. N One report claimed that she, as a girl, 443 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,959 Speaker 1: recalled selling colored pencils to Van Gogh and seeing the 444 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: Eiffel Tower being built. Uh this woman, Now you might wonder, Okay, 445 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: if you meet somebody who's a hundred and twenty two, 446 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna say, what's the secret? Tell me how it which. 447 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm thinking, I don't know if I 448 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: want to be a hundred and twenty two. Really, I mean, 449 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: if I am, if I'm gonna feel okay, fine, I'll 450 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: live forever if I feel okay. But unless you know, 451 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: some miraculous scientific advances are made, I don't want to 452 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: be a hundred and twenty two anytime soon. Uh. That's 453 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: an ironic way of putting it, isn't it. So she says, 454 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: uh what her secret was the secret to her longevity 455 00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: and relatively youthful appearance for her age. The secret was 456 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: a diet rich and olive oil. That's what she said, 457 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: And of course there's so much interest in her. Here 458 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: is I know we're getting off the topic of animals 459 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: a bit, but do you want to hear about her 460 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: daily routine? Of course you do. After her admission to 461 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: the Massendu Lock nursing home in January of n at 462 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: the age of one hundred and nine, she initially followed 463 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: a highly ritualized daily routine. Here is that routine. She 464 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: requested to be awoken at sixty five a m. And 465 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: started the day with a long prayer at her window, 466 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: thanking God for being alive and for the beautiful day 467 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: which she was starting. Well, let me pause for a second. 468 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: Does it that sound familiar? You know how? I am 469 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: always saying that I believe it's important to start your 470 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:02,439 Speaker 1: day by saying something like, h I believe I live 471 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: in a friendly, loving, supportive universe that wants me to 472 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 1: be happy and succeed. That's how I start my day, 473 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: and I think you should do the same thing. I 474 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: live in a friendly, loving, supportive universe that wants me 475 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: to be happy and succeed. It doesn't have to be 476 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: that exact wording, but it is important to start your 477 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: day with some type of affirmation, even if you don't 478 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: believe it, Just say it, Just do it and you'll 479 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: be surprised the impact at max and we'll hear some 480 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: proof of that, I guess, says. She Sometimes loudly asked 481 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 1: the reason for her longevity and why she was the 482 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: only one alive in her family. That's sad, isn't it. 483 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: Seated on her arm chair, she did gymnastics wearing her 484 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: stereo headset. Her exercises included flexing and extending the hands 485 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: than the legs. Nurses noted that she moved faster than 486 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: other residents who were thirty years younger. Her breakfast consisted 487 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: of coffee with milk and rusks. A rusk is kind 488 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: of a hard, dry biscuit, or like a twice baked bread, 489 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: similar to something a baby might teeth on. Uh. She 490 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: washed herself unassisted with a flannel cloth rather than taking 491 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: a shower. That's interesting, isn't it. She washed herself unassisted 492 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: with a flannel cloth rather than taking a shower, applying 493 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: first soap, then olive oil and powder to her face. 494 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: She washed her own glass and cutlery before proceeding to lunch. 495 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,919 Speaker 1: She enjoyed braised beef, but was not keen on boiled fish. 496 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: She had dessert with every mill and said that given 497 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: a choice, she would eat fried and spicy foods instead 498 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: of the bland foods on the menu. Of course she would. 499 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: She She made herself daily fruit salads with bananas and oranges. 500 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: She enjoyed chocolate, sometimes indulging in a kilogram that's two 501 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: point two pounds per week. After the mill, she smoked 502 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: a Dunhill cigarette and drank a small amount of port wine. 503 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: In the afternoon, she would take a nap for two 504 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: hours in her armchair, and then visit her neighbors in 505 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: the care home, telling them about the latest news she 506 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,240 Speaker 1: had heard on the radio. At nightfall, she would dine quickly, 507 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: return to her room, listen to music, smoke a last cigarette, 508 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: and go to bed at ten pm. On Sundays, she 509 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: went to Mass and on Fridays to vespers and regularly 510 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: conversed with and salt help from God, and wondered about 511 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: the afterlife. So look, I'm not saying that that's the 512 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: how to blueprint for everybody who wants to live to 513 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: be old, but that's what worked for her. That's what 514 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: she did apparently, So I don't know, do you want 515 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: to be a hundred and twenty two? If not, you know, 516 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: it's like the old joke, nobody wants to live to 517 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: be one hundred except a nine nine year old. So 518 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: your opinion on that sort of thing might change a 519 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: little bit as time goes on. So it's amazing, though, 520 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: to think of how short our lifespan is compared to 521 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: so many animals. And do you know what the largest 522 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: animal on Earth is? And and this is the real kicker. 523 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: I think it's not just the largest animal on Earth. 524 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: They say it is the largest creature that has ever 525 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: existed on Earth. Okay, so you see all these dinosaurs 526 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 1: and they just look tremendous. You know that the terrible lizards, 527 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 1: as big as they are right now, the biggest animal 528 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: on Earth is the biggest creature that has ever lived 529 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: on Earth by all evidence found. It is, of course, 530 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: the blue Well. The blue Well is one and ten 531 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:23,720 Speaker 1: ft long, so that's longer than two city buses. And 532 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: they're very mysterious creatures, all right. And I went out 533 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: and I got some clips of what a blue well 534 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: sounds like in nature. Would you like to hear some 535 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: clips of what the largest thing that's ever lived on 536 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: Earth sounds like. And of course it produces high tones 537 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: and low tones, and we can't hear all the tones 538 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: with our ears or with our speakers or our headphones. 539 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: But this ought to give you an idea of what 540 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: the biggest thing that's ever lived sounds like. Here we 541 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: go actual tones from Blue Wells. It's kind of hair raising, 542 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: isn't it in a weird way? How long do you 543 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: think that they live? Do you think they live a 544 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: long time or a short time? The biggest thing guess what, 545 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: they can live eighty to ninety years. And yet I 546 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: may fly similar to a little house fly, and may 547 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:19,880 Speaker 1: fly lives twenty four hours. Our fruit fly thirty days. 548 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: When we come back, some creepy animal stories, I'm Joshua 549 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: pe Warren.

I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, 568 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: And before I read you some creepy animal stories, I 569 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,879 Speaker 1: think in general, the best way for me to summarize 570 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: these past two shows about the amazing and paranormal powers 571 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: of animals is to read to you the last two 572 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 1: paragraphs of my book Pet Ghosts, Animal Encounters from Beyond 573 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: the Grave. This book is actually out of print. It 574 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 1: was published in two thousand and six, but you should 575 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: still be able to find a used copy of it 576 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: somewhere out there. We need to get this thing back 577 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: in print. So much to do, so little time. But 578 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: here is how I summed things up in this book. 579 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:35,959 Speaker 1: We are a part of the animals around us, indistinguishable 580 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: from them at the smallest levels. By looking at them, 581 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: appreciating their special senses, and learning from their transitions between 582 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: this realm and others, we can understand more about ourselves 583 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,839 Speaker 1: when we compare their superpowers to ours and ours to theirs. 584 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: A balance is struck, an essential equilibrium designed by millions 585 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: of years. This, more than anything, reveals the true wonder 586 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: of nature and the full spectrum of life betwixt us all. 587 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: We can fly, breathe underwater, hibernate, regenerate, amputated limbs, change colors, 588 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: withstand the vacuum of space, see into frequencies high and low, 589 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 1: have the strength of hercules, and move at sensational speeds. 590 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: Whatever God is, we can know God through creations. Each 591 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: day we learn more, and some of those creations we 592 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: have only glimpsed thus far. Keep your mind and eyes 593 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: wide open. If you blink, you may miss the next one. 594 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: And this book, we've pondered the definition of a pet, 595 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 1: how we separate them from animals and enroll Perhaps first 596 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: and foremost, the reason we call them pets is because 597 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: we pet them. Each time you share a moment of 598 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: affection with your animal, think about what must be running 599 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 1: through your animals head. That is probably the key to 600 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 1: the strongest bond obtainable, even capable of bringing them back 601 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: from the other side, trying to understand them, hoping they 602 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 1: understand us. We should both learn from each other. I'd 603 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,320 Speaker 1: like to think we're on the same boat, simply trying 604 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,240 Speaker 1: to make it through life the best way possible, using 605 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: whatever gifts nature has given. At that level, if on 606 00:46:51,400 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: no other, we are surely the same. There you have it. 607 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: There you have it. That's what it's all about. And 608 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: now for the last segment of the show. Some creepy, 609 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: Some creepy animal Stories. This was sent to me by 610 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,720 Speaker 1: a woman named Cindy Acosta about an incident that happened 611 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: in Sacramento, California and nine. She says, my friend Mike 612 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,720 Speaker 1: and I were heading out to clean up a house 613 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: that an old lady had died in. It was around 614 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,800 Speaker 1: seven pm when we left for Austin Street. A friend's 615 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: mom lived just across the field from it, so we 616 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 1: parked there and walked over it. Was a really big job, 617 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: so I started at one end of the home and 618 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,400 Speaker 1: Mike at the other. When we initially walked in, the 619 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: smell was pretty bad. It smelled of death. As we 620 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: threw things in garbage bags, we came across jars packed 621 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: full of money. We opened one of the jars and 622 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: touched the bills and they instantly turned to dust. Immediately, 623 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: a picture fell off the wall, slamming into the floor. 624 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: I was starting to get scared, and it was dark 625 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 1: outside now, but Mike consisted that it was nothing and 626 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,719 Speaker 1: we needed to continue doing our job. I told him 627 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: that I felt someone or something was in there with us, 628 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 1: and that I was getting really uncomfortable, and finally he 629 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: admitted that he was scared too, and we headed into 630 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 1: the kitchen. On the kitchen table stood a cat that 631 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: had its back arched, with its hair on end, huge 632 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: eyes open, and teeth bared. It was standing there, but 633 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: it was dead. I don't know what had happened to 634 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: make a cat die like that, but it looked like 635 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,359 Speaker 1: it had been scared to death. I ran for my 636 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: life across the field to my mom's house and never returned. Wow, 637 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: literally scared to death. Can't you just visualize that story. 638 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: Thank you, Cindy. Let me squeeze in one more. This 639 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: is from Melissa home organizer AFT in Virginia. This is 640 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: something that happened to her in two thousand two. She said, 641 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: I moved in with a friend in Virginia who was 642 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: a single dad to help him out with his finances 643 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: and kids. It was not a smooth transition. I was 644 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 1: abruptly woken up every night around one a m. From 645 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 1: a horrifying dream involving large black birds swooping down at me. 646 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,240 Speaker 1: On the fourth night, I woke again from this reoccurring nightmare, 647 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: only this time I saw a man who appeared to 648 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 1: be from the eighteen hundreds sitting on my bed. He 649 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 1: faded away, along with the imprint on the mattress where 650 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: he had been sitting. I woke up my friend who 651 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 1: does hypnosis, and we went to work on getting me 652 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,959 Speaker 1: to tune into this stream and apparition and find its 653 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: meaning and resolution. In the hypnosis session, I was talking 654 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,719 Speaker 1: as if I were the man from the eighteen hundreds. 655 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 1: This man stated that he was dabbling in black magic 656 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: when he was alive, using his will to gain power 657 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,840 Speaker 1: over others. One of his favorite tools was a murder 658 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 1: of crows that would harass his enemies, scratching and biting them. 659 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: This became his calling card. Unfortunately for him, he got 660 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: sloppy in his practice and the tables turned. Through a 661 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,799 Speaker 1: dramatic series of events, the dark Magician's own army of 662 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: birds attacked him and pecked him to death. My friend 663 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: counseled the misguided spirit and eventually got him into the light. 664 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: As this session was coming to a close, there was 665 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: a loud bang at the front door. We finished and 666 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:15,280 Speaker 1: we went to investigate the noise. There in the center 667 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: of the front stoop, with its wings spread out majestically, 668 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: was the largest black crow either of us had ever seen. 669 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:35,719 Speaker 1: It was dead. WHOA now, tell me that would not 670 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: freak you out a little bit? Huh, Thanks so much 671 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: for that report. By the way, have you ever wondered 672 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: why they call a group of crows a murder of crows? 673 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: It's one of those things that's kind of mysterious. I 674 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: looked it up and here's what I was able to find. Officially, 675 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 1: a group of crows as a flock. And the word 676 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:08,959 Speaker 1: murder is a poetic term used in literature that originated 677 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 1: in England in the fifteen century. The website for the 678 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: PBS documentary called A Murder of Crows states there are 679 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 1: quote different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly 680 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: based on old folk tales and superstitions. End quote. One 681 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,879 Speaker 1: states that crows often will come together and decide the 682 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 1: capital fate of another crow. Did you get that? So 683 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,359 Speaker 1: it's like the crows get together and figure out whether 684 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: or not they're gonna kill a particular crow. Okay. Another 685 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 1: possible origin comes from people who view quote the appearance 686 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:55,440 Speaker 1: of crows as an omen of death end quote. So 687 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: so there you go. Officially it's a flock, but we 688 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: all know them as a murder of crows. And that's 689 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,879 Speaker 1: I guess the closest we're gonna get to some kind 690 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 1: of an explanation on that. Okay, I believe we have 691 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 1: reached the end of another marvelous show, and before we 692 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,479 Speaker 1: play the good Fortune tone and listen to that together.
