Now here's a 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeart Radio. Okay, 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: welcome back fright night on Coast to Coast Joshua P. 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: Warren with us with his many experiments. Have you ever 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: has anything ever gone wrong? Like our old friend Morgus 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: would do whatever he would do, josh, something would happen 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: with your experiments. Well, you know, since we're talking about 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: topas tonight, I guess I should say that we actually 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: created a topa one time that was very scary and 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: it went a bit beyond what was required. And I honestly, 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm always hesitant to talk about this because I 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: think that whoever owns that house. UM has no idea 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: why that this thing is running around that house. UM. 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: But I may as well come fully clean here, um 23 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: and and tell you exactly what we did. Um. You 24 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: know this, this idea of of creating tulpas or enhancing 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: paranormal activity. Uh, it's a double edged sword because you 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: have people like myself who you know, I want to 27 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: experience the paranormal. That is what I am interested in. 28 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: This is what I do for a living. And the 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: easier it is for me to to see and experience 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: the paranormal than the more are interesting and exciting my 31 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: life and work is. On the other hand, UM, sometimes 32 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: I feel like the guys in Jurassic Park. Uh, just 33 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: because we can create a dinosaur, does that mean it's 34 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: a good idea and we should do it right? Uh? 35 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: And and so you know, UM, right now, one of 36 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: the things that I like about the types of popa's 37 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: that I'm experimenting with using this new method parasim atics 38 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: is that this is a very organic thing. But going 39 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: back to what we did for Warner Brothers, UM, I 40 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: wanna I want to tell you sort of the inside 41 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: story about that and and how frightening that that situation 42 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: actually became backfire. Well some would say yes. Um. You 43 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: see when when Warner Brothers contacted me, they had a 44 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 1: finished script for this movie about these college kids who 45 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: get together and they use some type of an experiment 46 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: to create a talpa, and the tulpa, of course, ends 47 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: up being a dark evil thing that starts attacking them all. 48 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: And so after they had the script, they contacted me 49 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: and they said, look, we're storytellers, we're not uh, paranormal 50 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: researchers or experiment or as. We have really no idea 51 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: how to make this look realistic, like what you would 52 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: use to make this plausible. But you seem like the 53 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: guy who would know. And I said yes. At that time, 54 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: my laboratory was located in a different building. It was 55 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: actually in the basement of a house. Now my laboratory 56 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: is at my museum, and my museum is in the 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: basement of the Asheville Masonic Temple in Asheville, North Carolina, 58 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: which is a big, glorious four story building, and they're 59 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: all kinds of wonderful events there. And as a matter 60 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: of fact, if anybody listening ever wants to do a 61 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: really nice event in Asheville, contact me and I'll try 62 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: to get you hooked up with the Asheville Masonic Temple. 63 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: But that said, my museum and my laboratory used to 64 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: be in the basement of of a house. And that 65 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: house was owned by my good friend Forrest Connor, and 66 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: he does not mind me using his name. And uh, 67 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: and so Forest, um, he lived upstairs and we had 68 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: the basement. They're just jam packed with all kinds of 69 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: bizarro crazy stuff. And so I basically got very serious. 70 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: I got my a team together and I said, look, 71 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: we're going to try to work out an experiment where 72 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: we take a particular subject. It ended up being uh, 73 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: Shelly Wright, investigator Shelley Right, another great friend whom I've 74 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: had many adventures with. Uh. We're gonna hook her head 75 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: up to a brain wave machine, like an e G 76 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: type machine, and we're going to have her focus on 77 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: a little doll. Uh. It ended up being a teaky 78 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: doll all that forest had been given as a gift 79 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: from somebody who traveled to Hawaii. And we are gonna 80 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: take her brain waves and we're gonna magnify them to 81 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: the equivalent of about I think a hundred or more 82 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: thousand people at least a hundred thousand people all focusing 83 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: on this object, uh and broadcast it through a Tesla 84 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: coil type arrangement for miles around. And then we're gonna 85 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: monitor the room while we're doing this through third generation 86 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: night vision and all kinds of optical systems like clearing systems, etcetera, 87 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: to see if we can actually make this thing appear. 88 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: Because they wanted to include this on the Blu Ray 89 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: extras for the movie. So we had this crew that 90 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: came in from Los Angeles, Um, professional Warner Brothers, guys 91 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: who have done the extras for a million times a 92 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: million times for big, big movies like X Men and 93 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: Matrix and like you name. So they're all set up. 94 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: I crank up this entire system. Um, my friend Mobius 95 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: is a mad genius who arranged all this brainwave stuff 96 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: so that it seamlessly went right into this huge, elaborate 97 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: array of capacitors. And so we're broadcasting these brainwaves all around. 98 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: The room literally starts to glow blue because everything is 99 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: becoming ionized. Lightbulbs started exploding. I mean, you can feel 100 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: this tension in the air that becomes so thick you 101 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: almost feel like your heart's gonna explode and then all 102 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: of a sudden something had to give and it was 103 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: like boom. We fried the whole circuit. After we'd run 104 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: this thing maybe ten minutes. So everything shuts down, We 105 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: blow all all all the things you can blow. We're 106 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: you know, they were gone, and we look around and 107 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: there's no there's no ghost, there's no apparition. So they 108 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: filmed this whole thing and it was concluded with like, oh, 109 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: well it was a good try. Guess it doesn't work, 110 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: you know. Everybody packed up and went hum. So then, um, 111 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I think it was maybe maybe a couple of days later, 112 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: two or three days later. I have to go back 113 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: and look at my notes. I went over into the 114 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: laboratory by myself. Um, I thought Forest was at work. 115 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: And so here I am downstairs in the lab and 116 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: I've gone over there to start setting up a new experiment. 117 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: And I hear these footsteps, these heavy footsteps, coming down 118 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: into the basement, and so, uh, I assume that it's Forest. 119 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: So I paused, and I said Forest. And I looked 120 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: over and I see this big dark because he's the 121 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: Forest is a tall, big man. I see this big, tall, 122 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: dark shadowy form that's standing right there, right at the 123 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: point where you can start to see somebody emerge as 124 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: the coming down the steps, and but it just stops there, 125 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: and I said, Forest, Now, Forest, in times past, I 126 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: must admit, has been a bit of a prankster, so 127 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: I always assume when he does something weird or you know, 128 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: he's about to do a prank or something. So I'm like, 129 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: I can see you, you know, and I'm just blowing 130 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: this off, and then it disappears. And I was like, 131 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: what the heck is he done? And I went over 132 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: and I walked upstairs and I confirmed that Forest was 133 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: not in the house. Now, look, it's one thing for 134 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: me to tell you the story, George, but I literally 135 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: got a chill, I've got it right now running down 136 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: my spine because when I realized that I heard those 137 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: distinct footsteps, and then I looked over and I saw 138 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: that big masculine form there that was so tangible. I know, 139 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: without a doubt what I saw was the manifestation of 140 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: what we created. Well guess what from there, it just 141 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: got worse. For well, yeah, we didn't have any control 142 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: over it. I mean, the next stuff that happened, And 143 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: there are numerous witnesses to this. Uh, Shelley witnessed it. 144 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: Forest witnessed it. We would have occasions where we'd be 145 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: in one part of the lab and all of a 146 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: sudden we'd hear just this god awful commotion come from 147 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: the kitchen area and we go in there and all 148 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: the cabinet doors will be open, um and things were 149 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: on the floor that had been knocked off shelves. But 150 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I think that things came to a head when Forest 151 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: got a new girlfriend and she was aware that you 152 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: know obviously that that we r into all this paranormal 153 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: experimentation stuff, but she didn't know exactly what we were 154 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: up to. So one one day, Um, Forest, here's her scream, 155 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: all right, and he and she comes running out of 156 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: the kitchen area. It's just hysterical. And this is not 157 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: a joke, right, No, no, no, this is not a joke. 158 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Um, one of the reasons 159 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable telling this story on your show is that 160 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: I actually had her come onto the show Speaking of 161 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: Strange that I hosted for thirteen years. I now produce it, 162 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: but I've hosted You've You've been on Speaking of I 163 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: had her come on the show and tell this in 164 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: her own words right there in the studio. She said, 165 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: she was standing in the kitchen, and she turned to 166 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: her left, and standing there in the kitchen with her 167 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: is this figure that is well over six ft tall. 168 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: It has a big black masculine form. And she said 169 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: this thing was absolutely coal black. And she said that 170 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: the thing that freaked her out the most was that 171 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: it was shaking its head from left to right so 172 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: quickly that its head almost looked like a blur. It 173 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: was like something out of a horror movie. And she 174 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: just flipped out instantly and and ran as fast as 175 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: she could out of the kitchen. And at that point 176 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: she said, look, I don't want to live here anymore. 177 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: And you know what, because at that point she was 178 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: starting to move in with him. They they ended up 179 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: getting married, but they moved out of that house. And 180 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: and so somebody owns that house now. And I hope 181 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: that person is not a Coast to coast a m 182 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: listener um, because that house when we actually finally when 183 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: he decided to sell that place, and it was good 184 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: timing because I I at that time, I've gotten a new, 185 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: even better place to move my laboratory to. Uh, little 186 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: by little, we've grown over the years. Um, when we 187 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: when we packed up everything to move out, that thing 188 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: was still working around that house and scaring that you 189 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: know what out of people on a regular basis. Now, 190 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: it never physically hurt anybody, but I never slept over there, 191 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: and there were times when Forest would wake up and 192 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: he would see this thing. And so basically, um, you know, 193 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: that is a very frightening situation. And what you have 194 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: to wonder, George, as when you create these tulpas and 195 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: they seem to take on some kind of an external, objective, 196 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: independent existence, we have to ask ourselves. Are we literally 197 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: taking a piece of our own life and surrendering it 198 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: to this thing in an almost kind of alternative birthing process, 199 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: or are we simply creating a mold and some other 200 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: being steps into that mold we have created, and that 201 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: that means it could be something good, or it could 202 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: be something demonic or whatever, and we really don't know 203 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: the answer to that great question.
