This is January and last Christmas Day, December 21 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: twenty fifth of twenty twenty two, as Lauren and I 22 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: were sitting at home enjoying the festivities, talking about peace 23 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: on earth and goodwill towards all and love and generosity 24 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: and all these wonderful things, somebody at the same time 25 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: was robbing my storeage unit. Talk about some granchy stuff, 26 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: Isn't that It's so sad. I'm going to tell you 27 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: what was stolen. But the thing is, there's some really 28 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: weird stuff here surrounding this whole story, and so I 29 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: will get into that. And you know, I sent out 30 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: a newsletter recently and I said, you know, I got 31 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: some bad news I'll tell you about. So look, I'm fine, 32 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: Lauren's fine, everybody's okay. But it's just really unfortunate when 33 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: something like this happens on Christmas Day. So we're going 34 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: to dig into all of that and a lot more. 35 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: But first, most of my holiday break, because you know, 36 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: I took off quite quite a while for the holidays, 37 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: had a lot of care up to do here at 38 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: my new house in Las Vegas. Most of my holiday 39 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: experience was wonderful, and I want to tell you first 40 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: about some of the great things that happened before I 41 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: get to that though, I just made a note of this. 42 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: This is pretty random, but I wanted to mention this 43 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: before I forgot. Of course, the latter part of twenty 44 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: twenty two was taken up in large part by media 45 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: coverage of the terrible murder of these four college students 46 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: in Idaho who were all stabbed to death in the 47 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: middle of the night. And I just recently realized that 48 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: that murder spree took place on November the thirteenth, and 49 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: instantly I was like, that's a familiar date, because of 50 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: course I am from Asheville, North Carolina. That's where I 51 00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: was born and raised, and November the thirteenth is the 52 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: anniversary of Asheville's largest mass murder killing spree, the Will 53 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: Harris murders, and those happened in nineteen oh six. So 54 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: now there are at least in my world, two famous 55 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: kind of murder sprees that happened on November the thirteenth. 56 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: So maybe that's another one of those bad luck dates 57 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: that we have to start paying attention to from here 58 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: on out. So again, kind of random, but thought provoking, nonetheless. Okay, 59 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: so before I get into this weird story about what 60 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: happened to me, on Christmas, and I trust me, I 61 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of you had a rough time this 62 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: past holiday season. I'm going to talk about all that 63 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: as well, but first I'll tell you about some of 64 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: the good things and really interesting things that happened to me. 65 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Producer Tom dan Heiser. He came here to Las Vegas 66 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: and he invited me to go see a John Fogerty 67 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: concert with him at the Win and he had these 68 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: primo seats. Now, of course, John Fogerty he created basically, 69 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, Credence Clearwater Revival CCR, and he more or 70 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: less wrote and performed all those famous songs. And he 71 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: is I think seventy seven years old, yeah, seventy seven, 72 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: and he still gets up on stage and dances and 73 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: sings and plays like you wouldn't believe. It's just like, 74 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, you never I couldn't get up there and 75 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: perform like this guy does. And he's a lot older 76 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: than I am. And Tom and I had such a 77 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: blast because one of the things that is impressive is 78 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: that you don't realize it until you sit there and 79 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: you listen to this guy perform for you know, an 80 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: hour and forty five minutes. You don't realize like every 81 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: single one of his songs was a hit, you know 82 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: them all. I don't even know how many hits the 83 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: guy had, and it's just kind of mind boggling to 84 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: sit there and have this guy packed, you know, two 85 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: hours with hits and he could have kept going. I'm sure. 86 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: So what a talented songwriter. But I do want to 87 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: mention this because sometimes, since I live here at Vegas, 88 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: when I get to go see people in person, they'll 89 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: tell a story about their lives that stands out in 90 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: my mind, and I like to pass those stories along 91 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: to you. I did that recently with Wayne Newton and 92 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: so John Fogerty at one point he was standing there 93 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: on stage and he was pausing for a moment and 94 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: he said, you know, I played Woodstock. You know, he 95 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: was at Woodstock, and he was a lot of big 96 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: events in the nineteen sixties. And as a matter of fact, 97 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: he said, Woodstock was just so muddy and rainy that 98 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, he wrote one of his songs about the 99 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: wind will the rain end? I can't remember what the 100 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: song is called. He wrote a number of songs about rain. 101 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, so he said that when he was there 102 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: on stage at Woodstock. You know, he was playing this 103 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: favorite guitar of his and he used this guitar all 104 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: over the country, if not the world, for many many 105 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: years in his performances. And he said one day, he goes, 106 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: he didn't get into details, but he goes, I met 107 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: this like little boy who wanted to be a rock 108 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: star and he was trying to learn guitar and he 109 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: didn't have a guitar. And he goes, I don't know, 110 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: I got overcome, and he said, I gave this kid 111 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: my prize guitar. You know, I just gifted it Tim 112 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: And he didn't say at that time. John Fogerty did 113 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 1: not say if he was in the right state of mind, 114 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: but he certainly said that he regretted it. The next 115 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: day he missed that guitar. Right, the guitar he played 116 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: at Woodstock he gave to some random kid. Now, I 117 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: bet you think the end of this story is going 118 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: to be like and that kid became Eddie Venner, right, 119 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: you know that would be a but no, it doesn't 120 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: end like that at all. As a matter of fact, 121 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: this kid apparently did nothing with this guitar and it 122 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: was just lost. And so he always yeah, he was 123 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: always like missing this guitar. And then a few years ago, 124 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: on Christmas morning, he goes over to the tree at 125 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: his house and there's a big box there and he 126 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: opens it and guess what, it's this guitar. His wife. 127 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: His wife knew how much he loved that guitar, and 128 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: she'd spent all this time like tracking that thing down 129 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: and bringing it back into his life. And he said 130 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: it was like the best Christmas present ever. And he says, 131 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: and this is that guitar, and he lifts it up 132 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: and he's holding that guitar and then he starts playing 133 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: songs on it. So I mean, like, I love these 134 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: kind of like strange stories about synchronicity and the twist 135 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: and turns the life takes and how things like that 136 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: can come back to you. So you know, it was 137 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: just it was an awesome time and Tom and I 138 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: just had a wonderful evening in Las Vegas. And yeah, 139 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: thank you so much, Tom for inviting me to do that. 140 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: And let me let me just tell you, if you've 141 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: never been to a John Fogerty concert, you get a 142 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: chance to do it, you should do it. But you're 143 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: not gonna hear anything in your head for like the 144 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: next week or two. Except John Fogerty songs, It drives 145 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: you crazy. So that was awesome. Speaking of music, you 146 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: know I've talked. I had been calling him Jim Kalanna, 147 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: the composer, but it's Jim Cologna. He's from Italian descent, 148 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: Jim Colonna. He never corrected me. That's what a nice 149 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: guy he is. Jim Colonna. He is the guy who 150 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: was so inspired by the work that I've done over 151 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: the years that he composed this work of music called 152 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: Joshua's Shop of Miracles and Curiosities, and it was performed 153 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: recently near Washington, d C. And it's a fantastic piece 154 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: of music. I played part of it for you on 155 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: this show not too long ago. And after all these 156 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: years of corresponding with Jim, I'd never gotten to meet 157 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: him in person. He was in Las Vegas, and so 158 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Laarne and I got together with him for an evening, 159 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: and boy did we hit it off. As soon as 160 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: we sat down and started to talking. Well, you know, 161 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: we embraced as soon as we met each other, and 162 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: then it was just like we were old friends. We'd 163 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: known each other forever. He's such a warm and just 164 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: like cheerful and just just a cool, interesting, funny just 165 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: just a great person. But like he's one of those 166 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: guys that I would want to hang out with on 167 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: a regular basis if he lived close to me.

And then also we went 180 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: to Murray the Magician's party at his house. It was awesome. 181 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: He's got a beautiful, big, beautiful new house and property, 182 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: and hundreds of people were there and he was so 183 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: generous and just paid for amy.

Welcome back 211 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast, 212 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: a M paranormal podcast network. I'm your host, the Wizard 213 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your worm whole 214 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, 215 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver. 216 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Before I continue, I did look it up during the break, 217 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: and the John Fogerty song that I was referring to 218 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: is called Who'll Stop the Rain? And I know if 219 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: I leave stuff like that hanging, it's gonna drive some 220 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: of you insane. Who Stop the Rain? But he made 221 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: another song or two about rain, but that was the 222 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: one that he said he wrote when he got back 223 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: to his motel room after playing Woodstock. But anyway, let 224 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: me tell you about this trip that I took that 225 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: turned out to lead me down an interesting road of thought. So, 226 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: being from the East Coast, growing up in the mountains 227 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: of western North Carolina, I was always used to Christmas 228 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: feeling very christmasy. You know, you've got trees everywhere and 229 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: snowfall and all kinds of kind of like European decorations 230 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: everywhere seems like, you know, the Old Country. But out 231 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: here in the desert when you live in Las Vegas, 232 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: no matter what they do to decorate, it just never 233 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: quite fills Christmasy out here. And for one thing, you're 234 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: almost certainly not going to get any snow. But yeah, 235 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: the desert. And it's ironic because you know, well the 236 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: whole Christmas story is based in the Middle East, so 237 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: so the desert is really a more Christmasy and like 238 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: an authentic Christmas environment than what we think of. Is 239 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: this whole like European Bavarian Saint Nicholas kind of you know. 240 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, look, it's just about what you are exposed 241 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: to when you grow up. So since we've lived here 242 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: in Vegas for several years, we always you know, if 243 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: we don't travel somewhere else, if we kind of stick 244 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: around here, we're like that just doesn't quite feel, you know, 245 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: like Christmas time. And so I was wondering about, like, 246 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: what would a relatively easy road trip be that we 247 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: could take to go somewhere that's a little more Christmas seat. 248 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: And if you drive a few hours from here into California, 249 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: then you eventually can wind your way up this huge 250 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: mountainous region that's like over seven thousand feet in elevation 251 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: to a place called Big Bear Lake. And Big Bear 252 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: Lake is named after the grizzly bears that used to 253 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: live there. There are no more wild grizzlies in California. 254 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: I consider that a good thing, but you know, some 255 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: people disagreed. Nonetheless, it's really weird because, you know, to 256 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: get there, and it takes you if you're going to 257 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: stop and get gas and eat, you know, it's like 258 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: a four hour drive from Las Vegas to Big Bear Lake. 259 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: And I did a lot of research on it, and 260 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: it turns out that it was exactly like I was expecting, 261 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: because you go through the Majave Desert and it's like 262 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: desert up until like the last forty five minutes, and 263 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, there's this dramatic change where you 264 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: just drive up this big, long, super steep winding road 265 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: up and all of a sudden there's there are forests 266 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: everywhere and streams, and there's the lake. And then finally 267 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 1: you get to the village and Big Bear Lake and 268 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: it looks like a little village in a snow globe 269 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: and everything is all like rustic hunting lodge style and old, 270 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: like old old European and Bavarian, and it looks like 271 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: a little Christmas town. I used to tell people when 272 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: I first found it, it looks like a town in a 273 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: Hallmark movie. And then I got there and realized, like, oh, 274 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 1: they actually do shoot Hallmark movies on this town. And 275 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: it gets a ton of snowfall. It's very, very isolated. 276 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: So it really was exactly what I was looking for 277 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: in terms of this is the most Christmas y place 278 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: that you're going to get to that's within a reasonable 279 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: period of driving from Las Vegas to my knowledge, Big 280 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: Bear Lake, California. And I'll tell you a little bit 281 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: more about the lake in a minute. So we ended 282 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: up going there, had a great Christmas, like a couple 283 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: of days as always spent, but you know, we'd never 284 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: been there before. It's really small. We walked everywhere we went, 285 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: and we hit up all the shops and the bars, 286 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: and I was exposed to cookie dough whiskey, which actually 287 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: is really really good, but I think I drank a 288 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: little too much of it. And then also it's just 289 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: like lots of just quirky, little little themed gift shops. 290 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: It was cool. It was really cool, but it was 291 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: also quite cold. It was thirteen degrees while we were there, 292 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: which I know some of you listening you are like, ah, 293 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: but that's always gonna happen because some of you live 294 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: where it's like negative thirty fahrenheit, And if you do that, 295 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: you're just I guess the only good thing about that 296 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: is you get to say hah a little pansy to 297 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: people like me when I complain about it being thirteen. 298 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: Other than that, everything else about it probably sucks really bad. 299 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: But anyhow, so it was a cool place to visit, 300 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: and all these celebrities have had houses there. But here 301 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: is kind of the creepy thing I wanted to share 302 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: with you. So I before I go to a new place, 303 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: I do all this research and I learned everything I 304 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: can about it, and I read all the tourist stuff 305 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: and watched all the videos about Big Bear Lake, California, 306 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: and I thought I knew everything about it, but it 307 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: turns out there's something that they don't promote about Big 308 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: bear Lake, and I can see why in retrospect. I 309 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: only found it because I was digging deep, like I 310 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: was going within like layers and a footnote level, and 311 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so, okay, here's a story. My wife, 312 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: Lauren is probably the luckiest lady in the world, whether 313 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: she or realizes it or not, because I am her husband. 314 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: She's married to me, and that means that she is 315 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: always being told amazing stories about the world, whether she 316 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: wants to hear them or not. So I'm like having 317 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: your own living podcast there that's giving you, you know, 318 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 1: breaking news and stories. It's like it's like being married 319 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: to this podcast twenty four to seven. I'm always that's 320 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, you're getting the real me minus the cursing. 321 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: And so so we get in the car and she's 322 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: doing the driving, which is great because she's a much 323 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: better driver than I have ever been. And so we're 324 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: heading off to California and I go, okay, Lauren, listen 325 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: to this. So here's the story. In the early nineteen eighties, 326 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg was on a movie set and one of 327 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: the young ladies who was acting on that set had 328 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: her mother and her little sister on the set also, 329 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: and at one point Spielberg looks over and he sees 330 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: the mother and the little sister, and the little sister's 331 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: like five years old, having lunch, and Spielberg sees this 332 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: little kid, this five year old, and he's like, that 333 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: kid's got it, you know, talk about this is like 334 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: hitting the lot of when Steven Spielberg looks at you 335 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: and it was like, boom, you've got and he goes up 336 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: and he just like starts talking to him, and it 337 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: turns out this little girl is Heather o' rourke. And 338 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: at this point Spielberg is looking to cast Poultergeist, which 339 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: of course is this super famous horror movie that came 340 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: out in nineteen eighty two, and in fact, they just 341 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: they just re released it this past October. You know, 342 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: it was an anniversary thing where Lauren and I went 343 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: and watched it on the big screen again, and yeah, 344 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: it was a fun movie to watch again, but not 345 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: nearly as impressive as it was in you know, the 346 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. One thing that I always thought was interesting 347 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: about Poultergeist is you've got the special effects, but also 348 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: you have It was one of the earliest or one 349 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: of the first movies that showed like the modern day 350 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: esque paranormal investigators going in to do the job. And 351 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, watching stuff like that probably inspired 352 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: and affected me. So anyway, he was gonna Spielberg was 353 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: thinking about casting Drew Barrymore, but instead he was like, Nope, 354 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: you're the one, and he cast Heather O'Rourke turned in. 355 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure Drew Barrymore's people were very upset, but then 356 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: she went on to be an Et, which was a 357 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: much bigger, better role, so it worked out. Don't feel 358 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: sorry for Drew Barrymore on this one. So so, Heather 359 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: O'Rourke became famous as the little girl in the Poltergeist 360 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: movie who is just entranced by the television with a 361 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: static on it, and then of course he basically gets 362 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: kind of sucked into the TV and then they're trying 363 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: to rescue her from this other dimension the whole time, 364 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: very eerie concept combining spirituality and electronics and all that stuff, 365 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: which was very very precient in retrospect. So Anyway, this 366 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: movie becomes a huge hit. So this little five year 367 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: old girl, Heather O'Rourke, she's like an overnight sensation. And 368 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: her family was relatively poor. They were from southern California. 369 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: And instantly they like, they signed her up for sequels 370 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: and it's just money like they they've never seen and 371 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: their family starts pouring in, and so this little five 372 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: year old becomes this cash cow. And once the money 373 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: starts pouring in, well, the parents decide that, hey, it's 374 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: time to buy another house somewhere. I don't know if 375 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: it was a vacation home or if it was they 376 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: considered it a primary residency, but they chose to buy 377 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: a house and Big bear Lake, California, this place that 378 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: Lauren and I were on our way to visit, this 379 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: little hallmark town, Big bear Lake, California. So they buy 380 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: this nice house there and she starts attending class there. 381 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: I think they said she was even like a class 382 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: president or something in when she was in the fifth grade. 383 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: I know, things seem to be going well for this family, 384 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: but when we come back from this break, things take 385 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: a terrible twist, and it has to do with them 386 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: living in Big Barre Lake, I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're 387 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast, 388 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: a paranormal podcast network, and I'll be right back after 389 00:25:26,680 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the 390 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I 391 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: am your host, Joshua P. Warren, And this is the 392 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. You know, Steven Spielberg 393 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: did not direct the movie poulter Geist. He produced it 394 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: and he has a screen writing credit, but the director 395 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: was Toby Hooper, who was most famous for creating the 396 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You know, he wrote and directed that, 397 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: and the guy he hired to shoot that, the director 398 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: of photography, was named Daniel Pearl. And when I was 399 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: I've talked about this on the podcast before. When I 400 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: was working for Warner Brothers movie The Apparition, I was 401 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: on the set in California one evening and it was 402 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: really late and everybody was tired, and they were shuttling 403 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: the cast and crew back and forth from the set 404 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: to you wherever. I got seated next to this guy 405 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: and I didn't know who he was, and I started 406 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: chatting and it was Daniel Pearl. So I got like 407 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty minutes to have this conversation with the 408 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: guy who who actually shot the Texas chainsaw massacre. So 409 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: that was cool. That's like six degrees of separation from 410 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon. But anyway, look back to the story. So 411 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: Heather O'Rourke's family, they buy this house in Big Bear 412 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: Lake and that's where they start living a good chunk 413 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: of the time, and she keeps pulling in money and 414 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: then finally she's like twelve years old and one day 415 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: she gets really sick. They don't know what's wrong with her, 416 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: and they started taking her in for all this testing, 417 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: and long story short, turns out that she had been 418 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: drinking the well water there in Big Bear Lake, California, 419 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: and there was some kind of parasite in it that 420 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: got into her system and she had some kind of 421 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: super sensitive system and ultimately it led to her dying 422 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: from some kind of septic shock that set in when 423 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: she was twelve years old. Isn't that horrible? And you 424 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: may or may not know that there is this whole 425 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: phenomenon regarding like the curse of that movie Poultrygeist. All 426 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: these different people who were involved with that movie had 427 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: or many of these people had bad things that happened 428 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: to them, tragic endings. It's like the Curse of King Tid. 429 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: Documentaries have been made about it, but she is one 430 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: of the central figures there. So that was just an 431 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: eerie thing. And I wondered when I got to Big 432 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: Bear Lake if anybody would talk about it, and nobody 433 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: did it either they didn't know or pretended that they 434 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: didn't know. So that's just a quirky little thing about 435 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: Big Bear Lake, California. But we, on the other hand, 436 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: we had a fine time. And again I've been having 437 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: all kinds of good things occurring throughout my Christmas season. Also, 438 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: you know what, one thing about Big Bear Lake before 439 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: I continue into you know what happened with the robbery, 440 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: is that the Big Bear Lake, like so many other 441 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: of these bodies of water, is shrinking tremendously. And you 442 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: know how bad lake meat is getting here. And so 443 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: I told you that once it becomes the snowy season, 444 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: I want all of us listening to this podcast to 445 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: start trying to manifest historic snowfall and the Rocky Mountains. 446 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: And I had doctor Molder on a while back and 447 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: talked to him about it. He he flexes his muscles 448 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: all the time by creating snowfall in places where it's 449 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: not supposed to snow, like the Middle East. You know, 450 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: he's always sending me stories about like, look what I did. 451 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: And you have to realize that we need a lot 452 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: of snowfall this year in the Rocky Mountains in the US. 453 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: And here is why you might just think, like when 454 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: you live out west, I don't. Who cares, no, no, no. 455 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: The snowfall from the Rocky Mountains makes up the bulk 456 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: of the water that goes into Lake Mead and these 457 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: other reservoirs, and it's rainfall is not going to do it. 458 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: It's the vast majority of it is based upon snowfall 459 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: in the Rocky Mountains. If we don't have enough water 460 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: here in Lake Mead and the surrounding lakes, and that 461 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: means we have less vegetation, less vegetables, and that means 462 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: less feed for livestock. So when there's less vegetables and 463 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 1: less feed for livestock, and therefore less livestock, well then 464 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: the prices for those things go up, and they go 465 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: up for everybody all over the country. And when the 466 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: price is for everybody goes up in the country, when 467 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: we're already having this inflation period, it starts creating this 468 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: chain reaction where everybody starts paying more for everything, the 469 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: whole economy gets worse. And obviously whatever's happening in the 470 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: US affects the economy dramatically and the rest of the world. 471 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: And so everybody in the world has an interest in 472 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: there being a major snowfall this winter in the Rocky Mountains. 473 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: Start doing whatever you do to manifest right now and 474 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: start making that happen. All right, So let's get to 475 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: this strange story. Well, here in laws Fit, I have 476 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: storage units all over the country, but I have one 477 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: of my most prize possessions. I had some of my 478 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: most prize possessions and two storage units here in Las Vegas. 479 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: So last year I bought this new house, which I'm 480 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 1: still getting in order. I've accomplished about fifty percent of 481 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: what I intended to over the Christmas break, but still 482 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: fifty fifty percent. So I had two storage units here 483 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: with a bunch of goodies from my museums. Actually, well 484 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: it's I could say museum, but I have owned different 485 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: incarnations of the museum. So we're talking like Crystal Skull, 486 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: UFO crash stuff, stuff from Transylvania, signed artifacts, I mean, 487 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: just all kinds of really interesting things. And so I 488 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: had them in two storage units where they have been 489 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: for five years without any problems. But when I got 490 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: this new house, Laaren and I moved to the other 491 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: side of town, which is like thirty minutes away. So 492 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: I decided it was time to consolidate what I had 493 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: in those other two storage units where we used to 494 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: live into one new storage unit here close to my 495 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: new house. So we went and we got a new 496 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: storage unit, a third storage unit, a bigger storage unit, 497 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: which it actually turns out is more more cost effective 498 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: than having two smaller storage units on the other side 499 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: of town. And then Laaren and I got together with 500 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: our friend Jason Sarachi, the famous UFO videographer who lives nearby, 501 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: and Jason helped us move everything from those two storage 502 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: units across town to this one new storage unit. So 503 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: I have all these goodies there that I have plans 504 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: for to put back on display. And here's one of 505 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: the weird things though, and I have talked about this 506 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: in various places. You may have heard this when Lauren 507 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: and I got this new storage unit. It's like, this 508 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: is the building is huge, and this is an internal 509 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: storage unit. And this building that's like three or four 510 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: stories tall. I don't know how big it is, but 511 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: it's fairly new. It's gigantic. So you go in there 512 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: and it's like going through a maze until you get 513 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: up to your internal storage unit. There's no telling how 514 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: many hundreds of storage units there are in this place. 515 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: When we went there for the first time, we were 516 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: like the only people there. There were no other customers. 517 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: It was kind of like early on a weekday. And 518 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: the first odd thing that happened was when we went 519 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: up to our storage unit and we were first looking 520 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: at it, out of this whole place, a woman just 521 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,439 Speaker 1: kind of a you know, normal looking lady, she comes 522 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: walking up and she opens up the storage unit right 523 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: next to ours, and we were like, that's amazing. Of 524 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: this whole place, we just got this storage unit, and 525 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: you just happened to have this storage unit next to ours, 526 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: And we were like, what a coincidence. And so we're 527 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: kind of laughing and having a little friendly banter. But 528 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: I just thought like, that's just one of those odd 529 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: things in life. So then fast forward a few weeks later, 530 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 1: which was last month in December, we get together with Jason. 531 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: We were in a U haul and we consolidated everything. 532 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: We go back to this big storage unit building where 533 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: once again, there's like nobody there except for us. We 534 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: go in, we haul all this stuff into the storage 535 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: unit and lo and behold, guess who appears this woman 536 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: who has the storage unit right beside ours. And we're like, 537 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: what are the chances of that? And she goes, the 538 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: last time I was here was when you were here, 539 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: and we go that's the only time we've ever been here. 540 00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: So at this point our mind is blown, and and 541 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: I'm like, are you with the CIA? You know? And 542 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: I started just like joking around with this woman. We 543 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: peek into her storage unit. She has a giant telescope 544 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: in there and some pretty interesting things, and so I say, well, 545 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: I guess we're friends now, you know. It's just like, so, 546 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: what are the literally, what are the chances I've been 547 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: to this place twice? At both times there's practically nobody 548 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: else in the building except for this woman who shows 549 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: up at the storage unit right next to ours. Okay, 550 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: so I ended up I talked to her for a 551 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: little bit and I'm like, well, you know what, maybe 552 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: you need to come out and you got a telescope 553 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: and she goes, oh, I love the stars, and I said, 554 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: maybe you need to come out and do Nfara skywatches 555 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 1: or something, you know, vegasufos dot com. So anyway, we 556 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: left that whole situation after transferring everything into the new 557 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: storage unit, and and I was having this conversation with 558 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: Lauren and Jason like isn't that amazing? Like what again, 559 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: Like that's just it. It's almost like that coming on 560 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: where every time you park your car, somebody is parking 561 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: next to you or they're coming to get out of 562 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: that space next to you at the same time. I 563 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: don't know, So we knew there was already something weird 564 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: about the situation. Okay, so now now we're getting into 565 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: what happened around Christmas time, and man, I wish I 566 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: had more time. I knew that this show was going 567 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: to go by too fast. When we come back from 568 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: this break, I'm going to tell you this story and 569 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: then it's going to be the end of the show. 570 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna squeeze in something about the Blue Bunny. Also 571 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: I'm Joshua Pete Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on 572 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast.

I am pamer Normal Podcast Network. 576 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and I have 577 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: so many cool, interesting, wild shows lined up for you 578 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: over the next few weeks months. I mean, I've been 579 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe the list of things that I have 580 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: to share with you. But anyway, everything was going well 581 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: for Lauren to myself up until right around like that 582 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: week leading up to Christmas of twenty twenty two, and 583 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like both of us started having 584 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: health problems. I know, a lot of people around the 585 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: world were having sicknesses, and you know, it's like my 586 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,959 Speaker 1: sister was sick in Ashville, and then we were having 587 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: problems here, and my poor old mom and dad for 588 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: the first time ever had to have Christmas with that 589 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: either one of their kids present. And then of course, 590 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, the weather was terrible in many places and 591 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: people were being delayed or having their flights canceled or 592 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: stranded and literally freezing to death. I mean, it was 593 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: like it was just a hard Christmas holiday of twenty 594 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: twenty two. So anyway, but you know, again, we're fine 595 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: now in terms of all that stuff, but so here 596 00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: we go. It's like, I think the day after Christmas, 597 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: Lauren she was the one who got the phone call 598 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: from the storage unit place saying like, we have a 599 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: very important matter. Can you please call us back? And 600 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: it was the next day before she was able to connect, 601 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: and they said, well, there's been a break in, and 602 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: we don't think they went into your unit, but out 603 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, we would like for you 604 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: to come here because they broke into the units like 605 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: right around yours. So Lauren and I, this was after hours. 606 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: We went over to our unit, which was on one 607 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: of the higher floors, and we thought, how weird that 608 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 1: of all this, of this whole place, they broke into 609 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: units that are around ours. And we walked up to 610 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: the storage unit and the door was closed tightly and 611 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: the lock was on it, and everything looked fine. So 612 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: we assumed, like, hey, everything's going to be okay. We 613 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: opened the lock, We slide up door and all of 614 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 1: our boxes are in disarray, and I go, oh, oh, 615 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: this does not look good. And we walked over and 616 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: the first thing I saw was that one of my 617 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: boxes was opened and it was partially empty, and it 618 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:20,240 Speaker 1: was labeled Drone drone because that is where I kept 619 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: my one and only drone that I owned. And I'm 620 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: looking around and I couldn't find any evidence. I mean, 621 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: like they shuffled stuff around, but it looked like that 622 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: nothing else has been taken. And Lauren goes, how is 623 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: it possible nobody could have gotten in here? The door 624 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: was closed, the lock was on there, and I go, 625 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: I don't know, but somebody obviously had to have got 626 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: in here, and from what I could tell, they just 627 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: stole my drone. So the next day we went back 628 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: over there and we went with one of the employees 629 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: and I said, is it possible that somebody could have 630 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: gotten in here without opening that door? I mean, it 631 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: has to be. And it turns out in these internal 632 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: storage units there's a little opening. It's not much, It's 633 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: only probably like a foot wide at the very top 634 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: of the door. You'd have to be really slim to 635 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: get up there. And slip through that. 636 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 2: Well. 637 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: We went back into the storage unit and over on 638 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,320 Speaker 1: the walls of the storage unit are these like metal 639 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: rails that you can hang things on, and those metal 640 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: rails were dusty, and we looked over and guess what, 641 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: there were footprints on the metal rails. So sure enough, 642 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: somebody had gone to the effort to not break the 643 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 1: lock or anything, but to climb up and go over 644 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 1: and slip through that little space and go down into 645 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: our storage unit. And still that drone and fortunately nothing 646 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: else was missing, just in dis right. And let me 647 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: tell you why that is so weird that drone is. 648 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: It's the only drone I've ever owned. It's not a 649 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: very expensive one, and the only time I've ever used 650 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: it was when I first got it. I took it 651 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: way out into the desert on the way to California, 652 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: and I just put it up in the air and 653 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: took it down just to see if it worked. And 654 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: that was it. And this area around Las Vegas and 655 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: Nevada in general is so restrictive when it comes to 656 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: drones that you hear stories about people having their drones 657 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: and stuff confiscated all the time because people are going 658 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: out there and recklessly flying them around military bases and stuff. 659 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: And I have never done that, nor would I ever 660 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: do that. But I thought it was pretty darned interesting 661 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: that the only thing that was taken was that drone 662 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,399 Speaker 1: and there was nothing on it. Again, I took it 663 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: out almost to the California border around prem put it 664 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: up in the air, and took it down and that 665 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: was it. So the conspiratorial side of me says, is 666 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:17,840 Speaker 1: it possible that somebody, the men in black, wanted to 667 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 1: make sure that I wasn't using that drone for some 668 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: bad purposes? Because I did last year, as you know, 669 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: buy a piece of property not far from Area fifty 670 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: one in Rachel, Nevada. And I have never attempted to 671 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 1: take that drone out there, nor would I ever do that. 672 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I've never even tried to 673 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: get close to the Area fifty one boundary because I 674 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: know that's a real top secret military base that I 675 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 1: just thought it was really interesting that of all the 676 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 1: things that were taken, it was my drone. So that 677 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: put a really soured amper on things. But you know what, 678 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 1: here's the good part of that. I wrote about this 679 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: in my book. Used the force sometimes when something happens, 680 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 1: it seems bad, and retrospect you look back and it 681 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: was actually good. Things can't change, things can't improve unless 682 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: something destructive happens. And that was an opportunity for me 683 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, let me take the stuff 684 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 1: out of this storage unit that I really care about, 685 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: and it was all there. I'm proud to say, I'm 686 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: happy to say all my cool stuff was there and 687 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: I got it out. And I'm not going to tell 688 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: you where I put it, but I got out all 689 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: my cool stuff and it's in a much more secure 690 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: area now, so it's better protected. So no matter who 691 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: you are, you know you're gonna have bad luck and 692 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: weird bad things that happened to you. I wrote about 693 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: my book Used the Force, which you can actually read 694 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,479 Speaker 1: for free right now if you go to Joshua Warren 695 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,959 Speaker 1: dot com and just click the link to the book cover. 696 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: I wrote about the fact that you know, when you 697 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: align yourself with goodness, you're actually polarizing yourself and in 698 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 1: doing that, you're becoming a target for bad stuff as well. 699 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 1: So you have to expect some bad things to happen 700 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 1: in your life because you're becoming like the North or 701 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: the south pole of the magnet, and you're attracting the 702 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 1: other pole. And so this actually is an inspirational story 703 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: because I feel like that this happening to me gave 704 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: me an opportunity to go in and become more responsible 705 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: with what I'm putting into storage units, and to give 706 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 1: a warning to all of you who may have a 707 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 1: storage unit about how vulnerable your stuff may be, that 708 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: somebody can break in without even going through the door. 709 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 1: And it gave me an opportunity to take out the 710 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: stuff that I really cared about and put it in 711 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:06,919 Speaker 1: a more secure location. And so that's why I say, look, 712 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: it was it was bad, but it actually turned out 713 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,680 Speaker 1: to be inspirational. And I will tell you this though, 714 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,720 Speaker 1: and I had so much more than I had planned 715 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: to tell you in this show. But that's why I 716 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: do this every week. I'll have it for you next time. 717 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: Speaking of secrets that are being kept in this state, look, 718 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not here to I'm not a whistleblower. 719 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: But in episode seventy two of this podcast, I talked 720 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: about the blue Bunny, this weird blue bunny like plasma 721 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: creature that is sometimes seen running around this state, and 722 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: I got contacted by a listener who said that he 723 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: believes he had seen it, and he produced an illustration 724 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 1: of this thing.

But if 730 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: you want to see what he said it looks like, 731 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: go to Joshua pewarren dot com Curiosity Shop, scroll down 732 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: and look at the illustration that he made of the 733 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: blue bunny.
