Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Malcolm Robinson, you were about to tell us a story
Speaker 2: about one of your adventures right before I interrupted you
Speaker 2: for that break. Can you please continue?
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, obviously, because I'm immersed in this wonderful subject.
Speaker 4: It puts me in the ballpark of.
Speaker 3: Many incredible cases and stuff. So the following case happened
Speaker 3: a few years ago where I was invited into this
Speaker 3: this lady's family home where she had been plagued by
Speaker 3: poltergeist effects. So I was there with my Strange Phenomena
Speaker 3: investigations team. We had set up all equipment, we were
Speaker 3: working in kind of semi ambient light, and suddenly the
Speaker 3: psychic says, Malcolm, can you feel spirit.
Speaker 4: In this room tonight?
Speaker 3: And I went, no, I'm sorry, I can, And she's oh,
Speaker 3: it's everywhere. It's everywhere. Malcolm, stand over in the corner
Speaker 3: of the room and arm out, Extend your arm out
Speaker 3: with your your palm facing downwards, and ask spirit to
Speaker 3: touch you. I went really, and she says, yeah, please.
Speaker 4: And so one minute went.
Speaker 3: By, nothing, two minutes, nothing, three minutes, and on the fourth.
Speaker 4: Minute, a heavy push pushed.
Speaker 3: Down on the back of my hand, and boy did
Speaker 3: I get a fright.
Speaker 4: It was incredible.
Speaker 3: Now nobody was near me, nobody had rushed up and
Speaker 3: you know, try to do that. It was It was
Speaker 3: quite incredible.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you feel that there is some sort of spillover
Speaker 2: or crossover between ghost spirits and UFO cases. I know
Speaker 2: you're interested in both, but are they related in some way?
Speaker 4: Well, that's a very good question, George.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a question I've been asked many times
Speaker 3: and I'm going to say yes to that question. And
Speaker 3: the reason I do say yes is because of one
Speaker 3: particular case that SBI were in with a number of
Speaker 3: years ago. It was down in Devon in England, and
Speaker 3: this lady had been plagued by UFOs all over our
Speaker 3: house and in the sky and it was quite incredible,
Speaker 3: and so we went down to interview about that. And
Speaker 3: it was an old house as well, getting back to
Speaker 3: what you said at the top of the show, and
Speaker 3: you know, there's there's these old, old houses that seemed
Speaker 3: to have this history of ghosts, et cetera. So she's
Speaker 3: talking to me about various things that had been happening,
Speaker 3: and then she says she started to say something.
Speaker 4: Then she stopped.
Speaker 3: I went, no, continue, please, please continue. I need to
Speaker 3: know everything, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. Were here
Speaker 3: to understand. What was she about to tell me? And
Speaker 3: she says, well, okay, I don't know if you believe me,
Speaker 3: but honestly, I saw this, mister Robinson, what did you say?
Speaker 3: She said she was reading a book in her bed,
Speaker 3: and it was just a small light on in the bedroom,
Speaker 3: and she suddenly looked down to the foot of the
Speaker 3: bed and saw a small gray being. And everybody, it
Speaker 3: also is to a show, fully knows for that three
Speaker 3: and a half four feet tall, small childlike body, pair
Speaker 3: shaped head, black spinkyleman shaped eyes, no sign of any genitalia.
Speaker 3: Standing at the right hand side of the bed. Here's
Speaker 3: the crups, Josh, here's the to answer their question, the crossover.
Speaker 3: So you've got a gray in the right hand side
Speaker 3: of the room. On the left hand side of the
Speaker 3: room was a small spirit child. She looked very similar
Speaker 3: to that American TV show Little House in the Prairie,
Speaker 3: the pin of her dress, the ringlets in her hair,
Speaker 3: and she was.
Speaker 4: Astonished to see this. So here we have, you know.
Speaker 3: A small gray being and a spirit child in the
Speaker 3: same room at the same time, who both eventually disappeared.
Speaker 3: So as far as the crossover goes, I think, to
Speaker 3: some degray maybe it's all pard parcel somehow. But that's
Speaker 3: the only kind of story that I personally dealt with
Speaker 3: that perplexed me.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, there are those who think that our spirit,
Speaker 2: our essence, when we die, it goes to some other place,
Speaker 2: and that other place might be a dimension, And there
Speaker 2: was a lot of interest in dimensional beings as the
Speaker 2: source of UFO cases. So maybe there is crossover. We
Speaker 2: just don't know yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing, you know, We're we many many
Speaker 3: researchers the world over, including here in Scotland, have the
Speaker 3: own ideas as to what is behind the UFO mystery.
Speaker 3: Some people believe that's exterrestos. Some people believe it's interdimensional,
Speaker 3: that the time travelers, I mean, we know more about
Speaker 3: the surface of the Moon than what we do what's
Speaker 3: under our own Earth oceans, the Mariana Trench, for instance,
Speaker 3: a massively big trench which holds these mysterious bioluminous fish,
Speaker 3: et cetera. The reason I'm coming I'm saying this is
Speaker 3: a lot of people have seen UFOs diving into and
Speaker 3: exiting out of the oceans of this planet, more so
Speaker 3: around the island of Puerto Rico.
Speaker 4: It's maybe not.
Speaker 3: Too far silly to say that maybe if they are here,
Speaker 3: then they have bases under the oceans of this planet.
Speaker 3: And that's only it's only speculation on my part, of course,
Speaker 3: But I tend to think along the lines as Jacqualie,
Speaker 3: the French physicist, who you just believe, maybe it's a
Speaker 3: dimensional things, a dimensional shift, but we still don't know.
Speaker 3: What really angers me and puzzles me is why, why,
Speaker 3: oh why are we still having these UFO abductions. What
Speaker 3: clearly is behind this? People say that it's some form
Speaker 3: of interbreeding program, like David Jacobs in a number of
Speaker 3: his books, relates to what he calls hubrids human and hybrids,
Speaker 3: and this is what they're trying to integrate. It sounds preposterous,
Speaker 3: it sounds that Hollywood, But you know a number of
Speaker 3: the sets links that maybe this is what's going on.
Speaker 3: I mean, the question I always raises, why is these
Speaker 3: small grays taking sperm and over from males and females.
Speaker 3: They've been doing it now for over fifty years, if
Speaker 3: not more, surely, surely they have enough genetic information that
Speaker 3: they don't need to keep doing this. Is it something
Speaker 3: to do with soul? People say that maybe they don't
Speaker 3: understand humanity and the soul process. Some people say that,
Speaker 3: you know, people have been taken out of their beds
Speaker 3: in through windows and they got prickly sensation, et cetera.
Speaker 3: And yet some people the more been puddy case. For instance,
Speaker 3: in Australia, she said that, you know, she claimed that
Speaker 3: she had been in touch with these beings, et cetera.
Speaker 3: So these two Australian ufour rester said, okay, let's let's
Speaker 3: see if we can check this out. So she prove
Speaker 3: them to a secluded spot. The two researchers are in
Speaker 3: the back. She's in the front of.
Speaker 4: The car, and she says, there's.
Speaker 3: Coming, there's coming now, and then she suddenly says, I'm
Speaker 3: being taken, and being taken. She hadn't moved, she was
Speaker 3: still in the car. So is it fair to say
Speaker 3: that some refo abductions may be taking what we call
Speaker 3: the esthic or the spiritual body, rather than the physical
Speaker 3: material body. But again that's speculation my part.
Speaker 2: In your country, in your neck of the woods. Fairy
Speaker 2: folk have a long history, and I don't want a
Speaker 2: branch too far away from the subjects we're discussing. But
Speaker 2: you include some cases of fairy folk in this book.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you think of them as being
Speaker 2: related to spirits or possibly related to UFO activity. But
Speaker 2: as you have noted, Jacques Valet and John Keel and
Speaker 2: some other folks have made the comparison that maybe this
Speaker 2: is the same phenomena that we now describe as aliens,
Speaker 2: that the cultural norms of centuries ago they call them
Speaker 2: something melt.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you're quite right.
Speaker 3: You know, back in the day that the troughs from Scandinavia,
Speaker 3: the electric horns from Ireland, the gin et cetera. These
Speaker 3: were all little beings people saw back in their time.
Speaker 3: Today we see the grays. Is it some form of crossover,
Speaker 3: you know, then we talk about Yes, there is a
Speaker 3: few cases of fairy folk in the book, and some
Speaker 3: people may call them elementals, and these have been seeing.
Speaker 4: The world over as well.
Speaker 3: And again it sounds crazy, it sounds preposious, you know,
Speaker 3: but you know, people literally seeing this.
Speaker 2: Share some of the stories with us, Grab an example
Speaker 2: out of the book and share what what people are
Speaker 2: reporting of seeing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'll give you a quick one that was
Speaker 3: in the book, and it happened to a friend of
Speaker 3: mine with Bill Rourke. Now Bill Rourke stays in York
Speaker 3: in England, and he's taken a number of weird photographs
Speaker 3: of things in the sky. But on this occasion he
Speaker 3: claimed that it had taken a photograph of a fairy.
Speaker 3: So when you look at the photograph, it clearly has
Speaker 3: this humanoid shaped body, it has the wings, and this
Speaker 3: was an incredible photograph. We sent it off to many
Speaker 3: scientists and professors here in the UK and the States,
Speaker 3: and we never said it was a fairy.
Speaker 4: We just says we have.
Speaker 3: Got this photograph of this strange insect. We called it
Speaker 3: an insect. Could you tell us where it could be?
Speaker 3: And even the scientists couldn't agree. Some of them said
Speaker 3: it was what we call a midg some of them
Speaker 3: said it was a bin of pid fly. And so
Speaker 3: you have all these these stories. The stories in my
Speaker 3: booky Calls are from people who claim to have seen
Speaker 3: little figures in their back garden or on the streets,
Speaker 3: even you know, wearing these these brightly colored clothes. They're
Speaker 3: only about twelve inches high if that, you know, walking
Speaker 3: along streets, et cetera, totally totally out of context with
Speaker 3: the surroundings. And they stared at them, and then certainly
Speaker 3: bank they've disappeared. And there's a wonderful book written by
Speaker 3: a British researcher called Janet Board and her husband's colin,
Speaker 3: and it's all about these these tales coming from all
Speaker 3: over the world of these little people. So it adds
Speaker 3: another bit of strangeness. There already a strange, wonderful life
Speaker 3: that I have.
Speaker 2: Let's go to a ghost story. So you write about
Speaker 2: the Sterling Castle, and I could swear I seem to
Speaker 2: remember that castle from maybe it's the story of William
Speaker 2: Wallace the movie Braveheart. But this is a place that
Speaker 2: has a long, long history. As you write, it was
Speaker 2: a wooden fort for three hundred years and then the
Speaker 2: fifteenth century they built this massive stone castle that has
Speaker 2: seen battles and deaths and kings and queens. Tell us
Speaker 2: a little bit about the history of this place, why
Speaker 2: it might be haunted.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's a very prominent castle which is in
Speaker 3: Stirlingshire in the central belt of Scotland. As you quite
Speaker 3: likely said, it was initially a wooden fort and as
Speaker 3: the years rolled by, the obviously had to strengthen that
Speaker 3: by stone etc. Has been besieged by the English. In
Speaker 3: the wars between England and Scotland over the years have
Speaker 3: been many horrific deaths. Many prisoners were held in the
Speaker 3: dungeons at Stirling Castle. But probably one of the most
Speaker 3: famous ghosts that is in Sterling Castle is what we call.
Speaker 4: The Green Lady.
Speaker 3: And it's that a lady obviously with a floury, beautiful dress,
Speaker 3: all in green green, and she's been seen many times
Speaker 3: in the castle.
Speaker 4: He could see right through her. And then this is
Speaker 4: the problem I have with goos.
Speaker 3: Some goosts are solid looking ghosts. Other ghosts are transparent.
Speaker 3: You get anniversary gosts, so you get, you know, a
Speaker 3: whole range of different things. But still a lot of
Speaker 3: people have taken photographs of this green Leddy at Sterling Castle.
Speaker 3: And also there's one particular photograph which is not of
Speaker 3: the Green Lady. It claims to show a piper, a
Speaker 3: Scotsman with the bagpipes, et cetera, with the guilt coming
Speaker 3: through coming down this alleyway in Sterling Castle. Now, when
Speaker 3: you see that photograph. It could be anything, you know,
Speaker 3: it could be what we call simy lacrum or paradoria
Speaker 3: and we get that with our society tours a lot
Speaker 3: of we get sent a lot of ghost photographs and
Speaker 3: fo photographs and clearly a lot of it's not what
Speaker 3: it appears today.
Speaker 4: But it's still in Castle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I would dudge any American I can
Speaker 3: listen to the show.
Speaker 4: If you're ever in Scotland, please go to still in Castle.
Speaker 4: The history of that is.
Speaker 3: Fantastic and you never know they may come across the
Speaker 3: Green Lady.
Speaker 1: Can you stay there?
Speaker 3: No? Unfortunately, nough, it's it's just stre for visitation only.
Speaker 2: You have some go ahead. You have some stories about
Speaker 2: a place called Chingle Hall, a haunting in Chingle Hall.
Speaker 2: What's the deal there?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Again it's it's another famous building, this time down in
Speaker 3: England which has seen a lot of paranormal occurrences. And
Speaker 3: one with my best friends Darren Ritson. He said, Malcolm,
Speaker 3: could I just share some of the investigations that we've
Speaker 3: done at Chingle Hall, And so we included that in
Speaker 3: the book. And some of these these cases were of
Speaker 3: a big, massive, big wooden door and it was opening
Speaker 3: and closing of its own accord. They recorded to up steps.
Speaker 3: They corded kind of sounds on what they call a
Speaker 3: AVP machine or these voices, et cetera. So they picked
Speaker 3: up quite a substantial amount of paranormal happenings in Chingle Hall,
Speaker 3: and we felt that that had to be related in
Speaker 3: the book. But I mean, one of Scotland's biggest cases, George,
Speaker 3: is the Socky culter geist. I don't know if you've
Speaker 3: heard about this yourself. Well, very briefly, I concerned that
Speaker 3: an eleven year old girl called Virginia Campbell and she
Speaker 3: was living with her family in the little place called
Speaker 3: Moville in County Donegall in Ireland, and back in nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty they decided to go to Scotland to live, you know,
Speaker 3: upsticks live. She didn't want to go, she was leaving
Speaker 3: her school friends and her little dog Toby behind. But
Speaker 3: the long story short, they moved to Scotland and within
Speaker 3: a few weeks November nineteen sixty, within a few weeks,
Speaker 3: strange thing started to transpire. She was in a single
Speaker 3: bed and our cousin was in another single bed in
Speaker 3: the room, and they could start They started to hear
Speaker 3: footsteps walking along the linoleum floor, and also scratching sounds
Speaker 3: and knocking sounds. So at this they jumped up started
Speaker 3: running down the stairs. And as these ran down the stairs,
Speaker 3: it was like the sound of this big medicine ball
Speaker 3: some some something down behind them. And they rushed into
Speaker 3: the living room and said to the parents, you know,
Speaker 3: strange things are happening in their room.
Speaker 4: Of course, the parents.
Speaker 3: Refused to believe them, thought it was child disimagination, maybe
Speaker 3: they were dooming. So they took them back upstairs.
Speaker 4: And what did they find. They found the very same.
Speaker 3: They could hear footsteps and knocking noises. They got so bad, George,
Speaker 3: that they had to bring in the local vicar, local
Speaker 3: church minister, and he too observed and saw strange things
Speaker 3: in that house, for instance, the rippling of Virginia's bed covers,
Speaker 3: as if you had thrown a stone into a quiet
Speaker 3: mill pond, you've got all these concentric ripples rippling out.
Speaker 3: Then there was an adopt a doctor this bit, and
Speaker 3: doctor Logan attended the family home and he saw a
Speaker 3: large linen chest which was against the wall, scream out,
Speaker 3: screech out along the linoleum floor, and the top of
Speaker 3: it opened up and it was flapping up and down,
Speaker 3: as if invisible hands were moving it. Things got so
Speaker 3: bad that they thought they couldn't get any worse.
Speaker 4: They did when she went to school.
Speaker 3: So if you can imagine if back in nineteen sixty,
Speaker 3: the school teacher has got she's given an essay for
Speaker 3: all the children to do, and their heads are bent
Speaker 3: over their essay. They're busy writing away apart from one
Speaker 3: little girl, Virginia. She had her foe arms on her
Speaker 3: desk lid, and the teacher screams up the classroom, Virginia,
Speaker 3: what are you doing?
Speaker 4: Solve that?
Speaker 3: And as soon as Virginia lifted her arms off the
Speaker 3: desk lid, the desk lid was moving up and down,
Speaker 3: and at that point, an empty desk sitting next to
Speaker 3: Virginia rosa several inches off the floor and fell down.
Speaker 3: On another occasion, when Virginia was approaching the teacher's desk
Speaker 3: with her with her ressae, she laid her tessay down
Speaker 3: on the desk. And back in nineteen sixty, it was
Speaker 3: a big what we call a cane, which the teachers
Speaker 3: pointed to the blackboard.
Speaker 4: It was lying flat.
Speaker 3: It started to vibrate of its owner cord and stood
Speaker 3: up vertically and banged on the desk. And at that
Speaker 3: point the teacher's desk grows up a few inches off
Speaker 3: the floor and turned round ninety degrees. Whereas their stomach
Speaker 3: was in the large part of the desk, it was
Speaker 3: now in the narrow part.
Speaker 4: Of the desk.
Speaker 3: I could go you want, It's such a massive case.
