Are we actually very tiny and galaxies are actually the brain cells of even larger human beings? Are snowflakes tiny microchips and snowmen are the greatest supercomputers of all? Answers to these questions and more on this episode of This Paranormal Life. That's right, it's Tuesday. Welcome back to the podcast. We're back on a Tuesday. Glad to be here. Happy to be here. This is my favorite day of the week. Is that right? This is the day we get to bring the paranormal world to these sheeple, minions, these little mindless drones.

Exactly, yeah. It's really nice. Every other day of the week, me and Rory are running around, you know, just full to the brim of paranormal facts. Right. For most of our life, it's been like that. And then every Tuesday night, we just get to the brim of paranormal facts right for most of our life it's been like that and then every tuesday now we just get to like unload it it's awesome in a heaping pile almost scream it from the top of my lungs monday night at 11 59 i am in cold sweats in my bed and then as soon as i hear that clock tick over, I scream raw. I call it the purge.

That's right. Every week. I've really Wednesday through Monday, I just fast. Right. Tuesday is my cheat day. So you eat a week's worth of food on one day. Absolutely, I do. Yeah.

I try to average kind of 20 to 35,000 calories. Jesus Christ. Between the hours of 2 to 4 a.m. Tuesday. I mean, if you're seeing ghosts and that's why you need to be on this podcast, like I have an explanation for that. That's not a mystery. This is This Paranormal Life,

the only podcast where every Tuesday we dissect a different paranormal tale to work out whether it is true or whether it is false what have you got for me today kit well i thought i would do something topical for once you know a lot of the time we got to wind the clock back right you know millions of goddamn years to before their records and we conveniently don't have to provide evidence exactly but i don't know have you watched a show called stranger things rory i have watched

a show called stranger things is that right yeah if you guys haven't seen it tremendous show it's very good just on the second season now i think it's a netflix original incredible show and it it it tackles the most important shit around which is the paranormal. And it just so happens that the plot of Stranger Things is borderline fact. No. No. Eleven, real. No! Demogorgon, real as hell. The Upside Down, I live in the Upside Down.

How about that? Granted, it didn't go down exactly how it did on Netflix, but I thought it would be fun to trace the true, factual, and excruciatingly real events that inspired Stranger Things. Excruciatingly real is a very interesting choice of words. Give me your fingers. Can you start like stretching out my fingers? I'm like, this isn't even in Stranger Things. I don't think you've seen the show.

The writers of Stranger Things are actually reluctant to talk about it, but that's because they know what's good for them but not everyone knows that the working title of stranger things was actually save us we're locked could this be a hidden message buried in the title of the show not everyone knows that the working title of stranger things was actually montauk okay we have to assume that men and black looking corporate fat cats made them change it because they said in an interview that it was very painful, but they had to change the name. Stretching fingers painful?

Why would they have to change it? After all, what's wrong with Montauk, New York State? It's a beautiful and tiny fishing village. Right. Right at the top of the state. Looking out to sea, only 3,000 people live there. That's really small. I'm actually going to show you a picture of it right now okay see how adorable it is i kind of want to visit it now all right except you won't have to hear what the shit i have to

tell describe to the lazy listeners at home they don't want to google montauk what it looks like okay i am a very descriptive man i've've actually been praised in poetry class for, you know, very colorfully describing scenarios and situations. So I'll have a swing at this one. Go for it. The sky is blue. It's a blue sky. No star, yeah.

Coast. We're on the coast. There's a sea. There is one sea. Also blue. Yeah. I'm painting you a picture now. You can see it. there's a sea there is one sea also blue yeah i'm you i'm painting you a picture now you can see it's a bad picture sand yellow mostly okay where the shadows are a little darker there's less light in the shadows okay i think most of the most listeners do know what a shadow is but that's fine right you just move on the absence of light is creating some

sort of lightless shadow is this still a shot yeah no you just move on the absence of light is creating some sort of lightless shadow is this still a shot right yeah no we're still on the shadow we're still okay yeah i really want to just make sure we get the shadow part across okay it looks like a oh yeah sorry your computer is asleep now i see it oh yeah it's a beautiful beach actually yeah i was looking at my own reflection in the glass sandy hair beautiful blue sky blue eyes the beach is sad it looks tired it looks depressed and lonely montauk i feel like i know that guy why don't recognize his face the beach is me so you know it's you yeah um it looks like a beautiful seaside ish town blue skies there's a lighthouse there you know it looks pretty pretty

nice yeah i'd go there for a little fishing holiday it doesn't look dissimilar to where we grew up no it doesn't actually and that's why this tale is all the more horrifying why does that make it more terrifying it's like i always say whenever you watch a horror movie a really good horror movie is set in the daytime that's true that's a really good ghost it's hard to haunt daytime yeah if you can freak people out during the day if you can freak people out on a sunny californian beach right you're like the goddamn jean-claude van damme of ghosts of ghouls i don't know what that means i don't know what he's good at you're the arnold swerve why am I picking all these foreign movie stars? Why are these dead? You are the Steven Seagal! You're the legit Bruce Lee of ghosts! Yeah, it's a beautiful time. Well, what if I told you that Montauk today has become a byword

for clandestine government experimentation and mind-bending interdimensional mysteries? Okay. Let me tell you- Like Area 51 has become like a symbol for- That's right. The paranormal- Exactly right. Let me ask you a question. This has become like a symbol for. That's right. The paranormal. Exactly right. Let me ask you a question. This is a few episodes ago.

Do you remember the Philadelphia experiment? Yes, I do remember the Philadelphia experiment in which the government was doing some shady stuff, secret stuff, trying to create invisible ships. That's exactly right. Well remembered, sir. Thank you. That was when the U.S. government was trying to create an invisibility device. The story goes that they tried it on the battleship Eldridge and it went horribly wrong. Men fused with boats.

Right. Got lost in the deep freeze. Right. Burst into flames in the deep freeze. For 30 days. Lost their minds. They got lost in interdimensional voids. It's an incredibly controversial story. We did deem it to be untrue. Right, of course. But I would ask you to suspend disbelief once more because as it happens,

the tale of Montauk starts exactly where the tale of the Philadelphia Experiment ends. After the success of the... A girl named Eleven burst into flames for 30 days. The freeze, she cried. It is deep. You haven't even seen Stranger Things, obviously. I follow them on Instagram.

I get the drift. After the success of the Philadelphia Project in uncovering a powerful new weapon, the US military decided to develop this technology further right under the nose of Congress. Those fat cats in Congress would never approve something that sends man to the deep freeze. Okay. So what you're saying is it was successful.

It was successful in it did something. I guess they saw what it did and they were like, we can turn this on the Soviets. Okay, you pointed at the enemy. We can turn this on North Korea. Okay. But the fact they had to go covert on this one under the nose of the fat cats that be, that meant this had to be top secret.

I'm just imagining at the meeting, they bring the invisibility ray there to the table. They do the pitch. Congress is like, absolutely not. You killed 50 men. You destroyed one of our ships. One of them time traveled for 20, as he's explaining this, the general's just like, uh-huh, yep, slowly turning the invisibility ray to himself. Yeah, uh-huh, I know what you're doing.

No, what? You're turning the ray towards yourself. Don't push that, don't push that button. Admiral Floating Gun, what do you say now, Senator? The problem is, if Congress can't know about it, let alone approve it, where is the cashola going to come from? Right, right. As we discussed, the Philadelphia Project was in the 40s. So around this time, the Allies are kicking asses all around the world.

And whenever they defeat Nazi Germany, do you think they're letting them keep all their nice shit? No. Hell no. Absolutely not. All that alien technology? You're damn right. You think they're letting them keep the metal library to themselves? That's another story for another day. They took all their nice paintings and mansions and whatnot, but I hear what you're

saying. Paintings and German Frankfurters aren't going to pay for an international weapons development program. Right. Well, I have two words for you. Nazi gold. What? Are you kidding me?

How did you know that? Are you serious? Nazi gold. Are you serious? That's what you wrote down? I'm a little bit worried because the fact that what I thought was going to be the most ridiculous answer was what you had written down. Yeah, that's right right you're actually a lot smarter than you look rory

that's right folks allegedly the u.s military found about 10 billion dollars of nazi gold on a german train in france after the war ended crazy just chilling there suddenly the project's got funding that baby has has been kickstarted. Suddenly, the project was funded and the gold disappeared mysteriously from the train. Soldiers coming across it and they're like, we can use this to rebuild, you know, Pearl Harbor. Admiral Floating Gun cracks a soldier over the back of the head.

I don't know where this money's going. Bar by bar, the gold is just floating down the railroad. And around this time, the Air Force had decommissioned a base in a little known place called Montauk. Uh-oh. It was perfect. Remote, small population, a port for shipping personnel and equipment in and out. It was named the Phoenix Project. shipping personnel and equipment in and out.

It was named the Phoenix Project. It's told that experimentation began at Camp Hero in Montauk in the 60s. To keep everything top secret, the military closed the park, declaring it a contaminated environment. But work continued in Montauk underground facilities. Oh, sneaky. You never really think about that,

but all like Area 51, restricted spaces like that yeah we just don't know what's going on down there it's very true and that again is a theme in stranger things it's at the surface things can appear you know kosh they appear above board but down below in the upside down you don't know what's going on down there it's true we have a basement in this house i have never been to. Day one, I moved in. I boarded it up.

I thought that would be the smartest move. Despite the yelps. Yeah. The cries and whimpers from below. Yeah, of course. I had a flatmate I never met. I assumed he kept creepy shit down there. So I boarded it up.

Every night, I swear to God, I can hear screams coming from that basement. The landlord is actually pretty chill as long as you pay his rent. Right, exactly, which I have been doing. Signing all the checks with his name. So the Philadelphia experiment ends. The US military keeps up the experimentation, but under new covert operations

in Montauk, New York State. This is going on in the 60s. The trouble is, what we know about these early experiments at Montauk is very thin on the ground. That's because they don't want us to know. Of course. That's a problem. But there are reports from the Montauk area, from locals.

They would say that randomly, out of nowhere, there would be two-hour crime waves triggered like nothing and they would immediately cease other signals would cause animals to charge into time or would shut down car electronic i'm sorry do you have a problem with this story the crime waves what do you mean like like something would happen it would hit 12 and everyone would just drop everything they're doing sweets from shops, that's right. What kind of crime are you thinking of? I'm just imagining it gets to the point where someone's just walking down the street and they see a television in the window and they're like,

Uh-oh, I feel a crime wave coming on. Oh no, I can hear the signals now. What happened here, sir? Was it a crime wave? All right, very good, on your way. But the thing about the truth is, truth is a lot like weeds. You can try to stamp them. It's a lot like weed, did you say?

It's delicious when you hit it. When someone's got it, you want it. Yeah. Pass it around. Hit it once. Pass it to the left. Bong truth. Bong that truth.

When you rip it, your eyes go red. We can try and hold in a drag of truth you get teary-eyed and cough you gotta let that truth out you get lightheaded when you get too much truth you just can't stop snacking cops always trying to confiscate the truth you know that's what i'm saying you know what i'm saying is you try to stamp it out you rip it apart but those suckers just keep growing back weed and weeds that's what i'm saying right the truth can only be suppressed for so long what we do know what is committed to fact is that in 1983 an experiment was run at montauk that changed everything my god so flashback to the Philadelphia Experiment.

I don't know if you remember, but two men named Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron claimed that they were on the Eldridge when the Philadelphia Experiment took place

and they claimed that they jumped overboard in hyperspace. Right. And landed in the future. That was kind of where we ended the story. Yeah.

The story didn't end there, is what I'm saying. Okay, okay. So we're picking up where they left off. These two gentlemen have been catapulted into the future and presumably have appeared in Montauk? Al has talked in interviews about what happened after he jumped overboard from the Eldridge in hyperspace. This is what he had to say. There were two tests that were running exactly 40 years apart to the date. It was a 40-year separation in hyperspace. This is what he had to say. There were two tests that were running exactly 40 years apart to the date. It was a 40 year separation in hyperspace.

The Earth itself has a biorhythm that peaks on a 20 year cycle on August 12th. Not real. Continue. It just happened to peak and provided the connecting link through the fields of the Earth for the two experiments to lock up in hyperspace.

How does he know this? Because he lived it. But that doesn't mean he knows exactly what's happening. I'm sorry, have you jumped overboard in hyperspace? I said, do you know anything about wormholes? I guess maybe, yeah, experiencing hyperspace is the cliched eyes widen and you experience the knowledge of the universe sort of thing. I've experienced things and not understood what happened.

What like? I've fallen down the stairs in the dark before and not known how it happened. But had to accept in God's grace that there was a purpose behind it all right the only weird thing was i started falling in the 70s and by the time i hit the ground i'm freaking it was 2017 i'm 70 i'll tell you that right now that nivia shit that anti-aging shit it actually works it actually works pretty freakingermatologists hate me for this one simple trick. Back to the story. The ship was pulled into

hyperspace. We were inside the ship and knew something was drastically wrong with the test. We tried to shut it off, but it wouldn't shut off. We ran on the deck and jumped over the side of the ship. We jumped overboard, but ended up in a time tunnel

which ended at Montauk, Long Island on August 12, 1983. At night, we were found very quickly by military and taken into the underground base where Von Neumann, one of the scientists on the Eldridge, greeted us. He was expecting us. It was kind of a shock. We had just been in 1943 and now we were in

1983 looking at Von Neumann as an old man. He explained that there had been a hyperspace lockup and we had to go back and shut off the generators on the ship or the hyperspace rift would keep increasing and possibly engulf the planet. Where on the ship, or the hyperspace rift would keep increasing and possibly engulf the planet.

Where's the ship, though? He had been waiting 40 years for us to arrive. So, immediate thoughts. I don't... You've taken characters from a story I said wasn't real, and you've brought them into this one. I don't see why that would be a problem. And asked me what I think about it.

Uh-huh. That's like saying, oh, yeah, you know the story of Robin Hood? Well, he was there on 9-11. It doesn't make any sense. Santa caused 9-11. It's madness. I'm excited to see where this is going to go because I'm kind of a sucker for stories about government conspiracies

and along those lines. So I'm ready to hear this one through. I will put aside my skepticism for now. Well, you'll be glad to know that we're very much over the hump of like ridiculousness that's good we're going into hardcore facts but don't worry about that like i'm gonna bring this right it's gonna make a lot of sense where i'm going cool cool cool montauk base sent us back through the wormhole to destroy the generator oh my god but it wasn't that easy you're no fucking. When they went through the wormhole, they were followed. Just as Al and Duncan went through the wormhole,

This is ridiculous. a creature entered 1983 in Montauk. I don't know why you think this is funny, sir. Good man died on August 12th, 1983 in Montauk, Long Island. Von Neumann waited 40 years for this day. Al said, Everyone went into a panic. They shut the transmitter off.

But the creature ate people and equipment. Al and Duncan were able to go through the wormhole into 1943 and smash up the equipment in the generator with axes. This stopped the hyperspace travel, returning the boat to its harbor, Al and Duncan to 1983, and the Montauk Beast back to wherever it came from. Okay, so they weren't followed.

You said they were followed you said that you said that they went through the wormhole and they were followed i don't believe i said any such thing i don't believe that that's on the record to be honest and uh i resent that you're recording me right now we're gonna get to the end of this podcast and i'm gonna be like so everything that you mentioned about montauk i I don't have no recollection of that. What? I have no recollection of that. I put on aviators.

It's glass fried. Glass fried. Okay. So I'll give you that, Rory. This insane story throws up way more questions than answers. All right. How did they get to this point? Well, Al Bielek, the man who was sent forward in time,

actually came to recount all of this in the late 80s. A sci-fi movie was made about the Philadelphia experiment. Here we go. Here we go. Yep. Al watched the movie and felt like he had seen it somewhere before. He sought out new age therapies, hoping that someone would be able to piece together his lost and fragmented memories. Wait, he watched the movie of what had happened to him and felt like he'd seen it before? Yeah. It was him! He did it! The movie's based on him! Yeah.

What? That's why he feels like he doesn't need new age psychic medicine so the movie didn't feature him right but it's about everything that he did yeah so yeah it's gonna feel like he's done it before but it's more complicated than that rory all right if you're involved in a top level top brass government mission, you think that you just get to keep those memories? Just like it's your like fricking seventh birthday party and you just get to relive it? No. You've seen Men in Black.

They bring out the fricking neuralizers and they zap you. If you can't remember ever doing a covert operation in your life, that's when you should be worried. That's what I'm saying. If I could remember one of the faces that I have assassinated, I would sleep peacefully at night. Exactly. But not remembering the face of any of my assumed dozens of victims. I turn on the news every night.

Homicides. Every city around the world. Oh, I know. That's me. And you think, I've seen this before. I know those faces. I watched them on last night's news. think i've seen this before i know those faces i watched them on last night's news al was able to remember his involvement in philadelphia and montauk and that his name wasn't al beelick at

all but edward cameron the duncan cameron that traveled through time with him but has since died was his brother oh interesting plot twist they forgot they were brothers yes through time yes all right i'm like there's enough for me to nitpick here i'm gonna let that one just settle i know what you're thinking this is mad oh you don't i love that i keep pretending that i'm coming back to your level i know you keep us you're like but don't. We're moving on from that. This is when things got weird. This seems crazy, but Al became vindicated a couple of years later when a man called Preston Nichols wrote a book about everything that happened and his involvement in it.

This is called The Montauk Project Experiments in Time. Okay. Preston laid it all out how in montauk it all began seeing how minds could interface with computer systems it was pretty innocent they wanted to see could you fly a fighter jet with pure thought i mean things like that they're trying to work out today i mean they've got like computers that you can control like it just tracks your eyes and you like blink to click the mouse and stuff like that. Blink to drop the nuke.

Blink three times to call your mum. Blink twice to drop the nuke. Right, twice is the nuke. It's very, very subtle that way. But, of course, do you think the government are going to stop there? If they get computers

you can control with your mind, they're just going to stop there? They wanted to use this technology to control the minds of everyone. Absolutely. They wanted to use this technology to control the minds of everyone. Absolutely. They wanted to use this in war. Preston detailed how the government was using the radar tower on Montauk to broadcast mind control signals. I'm going to show you what Montauk base looks like. Okay. So this could be an explanation for the riot times exactly they're they're blasting some sort of waves into teens brains causing them to steal liquor and candy from stores that for sure does look suspicious

it's a creepy base yeah it's a bit it looks a bit overgrown a bit run down but still quite active very active they just said that's like a contaminated environment and shut it all off. Yeah. Contaminated with truth. Or with lies. Weed. Weed. That's what I meant. Weed. Little reminder, guys, if you want to see any of these pictures and show notes,

you can check them out on the This Paranormal Life Patreon. They were using this radio tower to broadcast signals that they were testing on the locals. This is crucial because so far al belick is a nut job right yes very much preston nichols writes this book saying that he himself operated this tower with duncan cameron okay the guy that al belick traveled through time with why did he start operating the tower you really didn't want me to ask that question did you this is very complicated shit guys you can't just ask me freaking questions and expect me to know the answer to it yeah you look visibly stressed out by this i am red in the face i'm very flushed at this point my understanding that there's some

dual timeline shit going on okay by which al and duncan traveled through time right then went back in time destroyed the monster i mean they're already across two different timelines i believe that they were then involved at montauk base in the experimentation listen guys this is extremely complicated and there are going to be no satisfying conclusions so preston and duncan are controlling these mind control signals experimenting on locals at one point preston says they're literally abducting children and homeless people why the are these two doing this because they're they had this done to them is this like hazing it's like the communist party in russia man okay it's like the people who

were involved get turned on it's like it doesn't matter who you are you could be top dog cia you're gonna get bumped right so these guys that are doing the experimentation they're not getting out of this alive all right okay they they're gonna have their minds wiped as soon as the as soon as the top brass guys shut this project on everyone's getting their minds wiped all right gotcha gotcha this is like that we talked about before like project star wars over the shit it was called they killed all those scientists because they knew too much this is very elementary stuff people projects are you talking about star wars absolutely did you think star wars was real death star those jedi scientists that were assassinated

from the order from the emperor that rebel scum you know when that death star is exploding you're getting your minds wiped jar jar he's not gonna remember shit. This is me in a LucasArts studio getting dragged out by security. George Lucas stops the security. Wait, let him talk. Let him hear what he has to say. Why is he using the force hand? You going to the LucasArts studios

with just your head filled with all these conspiracies. You're rattling them all off. You're like, I think these ships exist in the real world. I think the story is based on ancient slabs. And everyone's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Coo, coo, coo, coo, crazy guy. And then you go, and I think George Lucas is Jar Jar Binks himself.

And the whole room goes silent. George Lucas comes out of the shadows. Misa would watch what the you're saying. All right, we're getting sidetracked. Getting back to the story. Right, right, right. Preston and Duncan were operating this mind-bending technology, but the technology worked too well. It was discovered that... It feels like you don't even want to say what you're about to say. They're outside, Rory. Oh god, as soon as I finish this story, we're done.

The computer was able to read minds in order to control these programs. We know that. Right. But it got to the point the computer could produce a digital representation of what the person hooked up to the machine was thinking about. Okay. Preston claimed the subject could think of a solid object and the computer's transmitter would make it appear on the base out of nothing. Sometimes solid, other times transparent, like a vision.

Later, it was discovered that if the individual whose mind was powering the machine could think of another time period, the machine could even generate a vortex there, essentially a time machine. So you think of a time and the machine would create a wormhole to that time. Uh-huh. Okay, that's pretty cool. Maybe the most disturbing experiment was known as the seeing eye. This involved Duncan clutching a lock of someone's hair or a personal belonging. Right. This is extremely stranger things.

This is like, you know, Eleven putting on a little headband and she can go into the Upside Down. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. And she's able to make contact with anyone remotely. It's quite cool. Yeah, that is cool. That's a good point. And that seems to be what they've based this on, even though those card asses are too scared to say it.

But Preston explains in his book that this all came to an end when after they were followed by the creature, basically the Demogorgon, followed them through the wormhole and smashed up the machinery and killed people. They put an end to it. They shut down the experiment. They filled up the basement.

They filled up the underground basement with cement, and they brainwashed all of the employees who worked on Montauk, including Preston, Al, Duncan. And it was only through these New Age therapies and watching a freaking sci-fi movie the philadelphia experiment right they were able to reclaim these memories okay this is starting to make a little bit more sense now thoughts i know what you're thinking i've thrown at you a lot of insane stuff and all we've got to go on really at this point is uh the word of mr preston nichols right because he's committed this to a book and granted it matches up with what al and duncan were saying

right they traveled through time and indeed he seems to have had some sort of interaction with them he's actually worked with them yeah there is one piece of physical evidence in 2008 an unidentified carcass of an animal washed up on the beach of Long Island. It quickly adopted the label of the Montauk Monster. Could it be that this is the beast that escaped through the wormhole? Feast your eyes. Oh god. Jesus Christ. What is that? You tell me that that isn't Demogorgon coming through a wormhole from 1943

why does it look like he's giving you the middle giving me the middle finger because he's pissed off ladies and gentlemen what i'm looking at here is very much it is a body not so much as a carcass it's still fhy. It looks like it has the body of sort of a kangaroo goat, the skin of a rotisserie chicken, the legs of a chicken. Is this a chicken? Are you showing me a chicken, sir? Hey.

It has hands and arms, but the weirdest part is its head, which it has sort of a beaky nose and some teeth almost bird-like yeah almost bird-like jesus christ rah rah he's dead the only thing that's weird about this is you told me that this creature came through a wormhole uh-huh and went ape shit essentially and killed a bunch of people yeah i don't know if this creature looks like it's capable of killing a lot of people it's got a gut on it it looks heavy its arms are stumpy It might be... We don't know. There's no scale on that photograph.

That might be 300 pounds. No one's ever been killed with a creature with a beak. I'm going to lay that out there as fact. Lots of our ancestors probably died due to, like, terror birds. Terror birds? You ever seen those, like, prehistoric birds that were, like, the size of a house? No. All right.

That's another topic for another day. Um, I don't, I don't know. I mean, why? Why does anyone think that this is the Montauk? Because what other animal is it? Did someone force like a cow and a chicken to breed? Have you seen Cartoon Network's popular animated series, Cow and Chicken? So you're saying that this beast...

They fucked, yes. Mama had a cow, daddy had a chicken, then they fucked. They turned to porno. And this thing washed up in the servers of Nickelodeon's studio. There is a Brazzers logo on the bottom corner of that. So you're saying that there's nothing fishy about this unidentified beast washing up on the shores of montauk air force base it's a little weird it's it's weird more than a little weird full disclaimer uh lots of people think it's a raccoon

what with a beak apparently that's kind of what raccoons look like When they're like Hairless? Yeah Right, okay And they're kind of shaved I'll be real with you, Roy There's a lot more to this story that I'm not going to cover today

They go to They went through this wormhole Created using mind computer interfacing technologies They went to the times of Jesus and ancient Egypt and to Mars. There's a very good reason why you should leave all of that out of this podcast. All that fantastic evidence aside, I think I've spun for you quite enough of a tale of mystery and intrigue with more than enough evidence, I would say, to qualify it.

The one piece of evidence that you went back on and said was a raccoon? I don't remember any such thing. I think you'll find. I think it's about time that I stop talking, spin this round to you, and you can just really seal the deal and really tell the listeners why they should believe in this story. I don't know if I'm necessarily going to take that approach to it. Yeah, no, I think you should.

I've kind of just like set, like, you know, just... Teed me up. I've just, yeah, I've just kind of thrown you a little slow one and you just got a bat out of the park, you know? It's pretty fast, actually. It's got a curve on it, too. It's heading towards my freaking jugular as well. It's a knife, actually.

Now that it's closer, I can see your throwing knives. I've got a tennis racket instead of a bat how about that look i i'm always ready to uh get on board when i hear the government are up to some shady stuff because taxes are theft because taxes are theft i refuse to pay and yes i'm recording this from house arrest right um i don't i don't know there's two questions to be asked here the first one is do i think there were some suspicious or sneaky undermined underhanded things going on at this montauk base i think that's a very real possibility especially at the time that these events were taking place i mean we already know

about so many super shady secret cia operations i mean we'll get onto it at some point but mk ultra for example dude i mean the other half of this story is mk ultra yeah and i can't wait to get to it because it is verifiable fact it's genuine that's the scary one that will come to the conclusion it's like well it is real because it is it's real like that's on that's the scary one that will come to the conclusion it's like well it is real because it is it's real like that's insane it's literally like declassified like it got leaked whenever like nixon was in office it was a whole thing yeah so it was no surprise the government has been up to some shady stuff in the past do i think two men from the past went to the future and then the past again then back to the future whilst a demi-gorgon shaped like a small hairless raccoon tore the

faces off a bunch of brainwashed scientists obviously yes it's certified fact uh unfortunately i think it's gonna be a no you're a raccoon you are a raccoon i can see it in your eyes raccoon i knew this was gonna happen jesus what do you think sir if you're not a raccoon i can't be sure that i'm not a raccoon. I just hate other raccoons. I never claimed to not be. Wasn't that the point of like Plato's cave or some shit is that no one knows if they're a raccoon or not? Right. It's that raccoons would look at the shadows of raccoons and cave painting of raccoons. And then one raccoon eventually escaped the cave and died.

And the idea was don't leave the cave the cave is warm and you'll be safe by the it's full of trash which is perfect raccoon food i mean it's like morpheus said in the matrix take the blue pill stay in the cave and remain a raccoon or take the red pill and realize your true destiny true destiny is actually a lot of work. It's really scary as well. But the trash cave is safe and warm. This is crazy. Right. We have already determined

the entire Philadelphia project to be false. I agree. It is possible that at Montauk Air Force Base, if locals think that some weird stuff is going on yeah entirely possible but as for time traveling demogorgons i think we're gonna have to chalk it up to a no that's gonna be a double no it's a double no unfortunately but the point of this cast was to bring to you guys some of the the legend that has gone into the making of this this incredible tv show, Stranger Things. And actually what kind of hack writers these guys are because they've lifted the entire plot.

This is crazy. Exactly. Thieved it up. And yes, we are here to tell you about these quote unquote paranormal events that took place in the past but ultimately what the goal of this podcast to do is to roll up a fat truth and pass it around to all you guys so you can you can smoke it down some people like to sprinkle like a little bit of lies in there just to help it burn better i mean just like sit better but we like 100 green truth sometimes i have truth brown Sometimes I have truth brownies. I had truth brownies in Amsterdam and they blew my mind. Truth is surprisingly legal in Amsterdam.

Truth has actually become increasingly medicalized across the United States. And in California, you can get a truth license. And it's actually pretty easy to get a hold of the truth. So illegal.
