The Van Meter Visitor
Before the Moth, Snally, and JD, there was another notorious terror of the night. One that began its reign 6 years before the likes of any other heavyweight airborne cryptid. Time to step back in time Travelers. Back to 1903 in mid autumn. To a town of just 1000 souls. Just outside of Des Moine, Iowa, a Visitor is about to make their presence known in Van Meter. Welcome Back to Infinite Rabbit Hole!

00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,500
Welcome back to the infinite
rabbit hole.
2
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,300
That's it.
Fire buddy.
3
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Happy New Year, welcome back to
the Inn for the rabbit hole.
4
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,900
Everyone I am your host Jeremy.
Today we're going to dive into
5
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,700
one of the biggest mysteries
when it comes to cryptozoology
6
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:57,500
here in the United States.
What is it?
7
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,400
You guys know do not meet her
visitor, the Van Meter visitor.
8
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,900
That's right.
Jacob.
9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Yeah, I'm smart.
Yeah, you are so Jake.
10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,300
How you doing, man?
I'm doing well.
11
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800
And on top of doing well, I'm
wearing the world-famous most
12
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,900
okay as podcasts in the world
shirt because your quote from, I
13
00:01:18,908 --> 00:01:21,000
think communion part 2.
Yeah.
14
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:24,200
This is the sport version.
So it's kind of like that
15
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200
moisture wicking type stuff, so
it's actually very comfortable.
16
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:28,700
Oh nice.
Yeah.
17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,600
I'm wearing my new beige into
the Rabbit Hole shirt that I got
18
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,600
from the new shop.
I like it.
19
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200
It's nice.
Yeah, like a color.
20
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,700
All right kid.
Hello.
21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,100
Hello.
Welcome.
22
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,300
Thank you.
How are things up there?
23
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:54,500
And Old Maple land.
Oh, you know.
24
00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:05,200
They are they are, they are
there, it's the time up here,
25
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,500
you know, and coming from
outside of the Matrix himself
26
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,000
old happy New Year, Jeff, how
you doing man?
27
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,300
I'm good, buddy.
How are you?
28
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,700
I'm good.
Well, no, I'm not.
29
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,500
I'm not good.
I'm stressed out stressed out
30
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:21,100
too.
Hey, welcome to the club, pal.
31
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:22,800
Hey, Happy Valentine's Day
everybody.
32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,400
You just how I love all of you?
Yeah, thanks buddy.
33
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:32,600
My Valentine is away in Maryland
for a five-week Detachment.
34
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,200
So I guess you you all are my
valentines.
35
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,000
So happy Valentine's Day.
I'll send you flowers especially
36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,600
you Jeff.
Especially you he really likes
37
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:51,900
from so many flowers.
Yeah, into cars at Eva because I
38
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:53,200
love you so much.
Thanks.
39
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,500
Don't get funny before we get
started.
40
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Jake, do you want to make an
announcement?
41
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:06,200
Nope.
Okay, sure.
42
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Yeah, we'll wait till it's
closer to the time.
43
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,000
It's not a big deal.
Okay, all right.
44
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,600
Well, Jake's pregnant, that's
it.
45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Well, I can't wait to rub your
Billy.
46
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,500
Well, it's because all that frog
water.
47
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:24,600
Thanks.
Alex Jones.
48
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,800
Can we just, can we just stop
for a second and just enjoy how
49
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,300
much that evolved from?
What it was is too.
50
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200
All that frog water.
Thanks Alex.
51
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,800
I get a crack at a Jeff finally,
for once in his life.
52
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,500
From that one.
No.
53
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:59,400
All right, I'll say it.
I am planning here in the next.
54
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:04,100
I gave Jeremy two months to find
a replacement co-host because I
55
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:09,200
am planning on leaving the show.
I've had been having a big
56
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,200
struggle with balance lately.
I can't bounce.
57
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,300
Without a life where I am
constantly working, I have zero
58
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,400
time to myself and, you know,
part of that is that I'm
59
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,800
preparing to get out of the
military.
60
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,300
So, I'm going through a plethora
of medical appointments and
61
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:31,300
Mental, Health appointments,
which are all good things, but
62
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:33,100
then I'm trying to learn my new
job.
63
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:36,700
That was offered to me, hearing
Southern California so doing
64
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:40,200
that.
I officially have started
65
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,800
pastoral training so that takes
up an awful lot of Of time.
66
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,100
And, you know, I just don't have
time for the show.
67
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:53,100
So I told Jeremy to find
somebody now, whether well,
68
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,700
let's preface that I'm not
saying that it's not going to be
69
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,300
like on a guest episode type
basis or I say, hey, I've got
70
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,400
this cool project or whatever
Jeremy's been trying to get me
71
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,400
to do, you know?
So same thing I did over on
72
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:11,900
Phil's podcast, where I broke
down, Matthew 24 in the Bible
73
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:14,000
and related to current times and
events.
74
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Jeremy wants me to do something
like that.
75
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,300
So yeah, calling them up and
saying, hey, I've got something
76
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,800
to throw out there on the show,
but I told Jeremy that, you
77
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,400
know, we've been building this
thing for forever.
78
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,600
And the first time I left was
for this reason.
79
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,800
I wanted to start going to
Seminary and then things fell
80
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,700
apart right there.
But this is you know, the
81
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:37,200
official it's actually happening
but at the same time I don't
82
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400
want the podcast to just crash
and burn.
83
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,600
I don't want you know my spot
just be vacant.
84
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,900
So you know Jeremy find some
some Buddy that can fill my spot
85
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:49,400
that is passionate about the
show that can, you know, stick
86
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,100
to a schedule, can do things for
the show like editing and that
87
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:53,900
sort of stuff.
And, you know, has the time
88
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,100
frame for it because I had to be
open and honest with Jeremy.
89
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:01,100
The last thing I want is to
still be here.
90
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:06,700
But, you know, providing half a
half product, you know, less
91
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:10,100
than desirable work.
You know, the reason why I
92
00:06:10,108 --> 00:06:13,300
haven't busted out, that trolls
episode really is because I just
93
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,200
don't have time.
To research and put together
94
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,000
that massive of a project, you
know, I just there's no time for
95
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,600
it.
And so instead of dragging this
96
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,800
process out and being just a
burden, I'd rather be replaced
97
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400
with someone that can, you know,
take over that spot.
98
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,900
So that, you know, Jeremy and
Jeff and Kenza are getting a
99
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,300
valuable member that they
deserve to work with not someone
100
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,400
that's constantly like, oh, I
don't have time for this.
101
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400
So I don't have time for this
and stuff like that, because I
102
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,500
mean that's the way it is right
now.
103
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,200
I just have Zero time for
myself.
104
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,500
I got a motorcycle and a hundred
pieces in the garage.
105
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:51,100
And you know, I've been wanting
to fix the paint job for a month
106
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,700
now, but I have zero time to get
into the garage to do it because
107
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:58,700
I'm spending, you know what 8,
to 10 hours at work every single
108
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:03,500
day, right?
But then I'm doing, you know,
109
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:08,600
editing the podcast, start,
doing the merch stuff, you know,
110
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,700
working on different music,
stuff for it and everything like
111
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,700
that trying to do research for
it.
112
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,400
And then on my weekends, I have
pretty much Church the entire
113
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
weekend, you know.
Plus me and my wife actually
114
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,400
helped plant a church on our
military base.
115
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,500
So we have to do that on
Sundays.
116
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:28,700
I have pastoral training on
Saturdays.
117
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:31,600
I just don't have time for
anything else, except for work,
118
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,100
and it's causing a tremendous
amount of strain in you know,
119
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,600
how I operate.
And the things that's expected
120
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800
of me especially on this show.
So I'd rather just be replaced
121
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200
and just, you know, nip it in
the bud and say, Me, this is
122
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,900
what's been going on and I need
you to start finding someone
123
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:51,600
else, but that being said, give
it a couple months, not saying,
124
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,300
you know, like you would do any
boss.
125
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:56,200
You know, I consider Jeremy my
boss because he's, you know, the
126
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,400
pretty much the main head honcho
of this this thing.
127
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,700
But, you know, you would expect
to tell anybody sauce.
128
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Hey, I don't, you know, I'm
planning on quitting in 30 days
129
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,800
or whatever just so that they
have the heads up and it's not
130
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,100
just a huge shock unless you
hate you.
131
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,500
In which case.
That's but that's not what the
132
00:08:16,508 --> 00:08:18,600
way I feel about Jeremy.
So that's what's been going on
133
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400
lately.
All right, so what does that
134
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,900
mean?
For the infrared whole that
135
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:28,800
means that no longer will you
have really cool.
136
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:36,500
So that evil laugh.
That's why the backgrounds Red
137
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:39,600
Sea, hmm?
Well, that means that will no
138
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,299
longer have really cool intros,
we will not have any more
139
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,100
artwork done.
So, get your stickers now or get
140
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:52,100
in your request to Jake now,
because when he goes, I don't
141
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:54,200
know how to do that shit, not
gonna do it.
142
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,600
So, what we have now is pretty
much what we're going to have
143
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,100
until I want to learn something
new, which maybe soon, I don't
144
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,000
know.
That is a good point.
145
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
If any of you listeners want
something specific, I mean, we
146
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400
only have so many different
options in the store but you
147
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,100
want a specific design or have a
request, hit us up.
148
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,200
You know, go to our group,
Facebook page, and DMS or put it
149
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,300
up there and say or you know hit
us up at infinite Rabbit Hole
150
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:25,100
gmail.com and say, hey, I'd
really like this.
151
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:29,100
Like the only reason why we have
coasters is because we had a
152
00:09:29,108 --> 00:09:31,700
specific A fan that said that he
wanted coasters.
153
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,300
So when we left printful, which
didn't have that option
154
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:37,700
available, I looked at red
bubble.
155
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:40,200
On the first thing I saw was
they made coasters.
156
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,700
So I jumped right on it and I
made a bunch of different
157
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:47,600
designs with coasters on it.
So we will provide those sorts
158
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
of things, you know, especially
while I'm here.
159
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,600
And I can teach Jeremy how to do
this stuff, but it's a lot.
160
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,200
It's a lot of stuff to do, you
know?
161
00:09:54,700 --> 00:10:00,100
It takes probably 20 hours for
me to make a Good infinite
162
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,200
Rabbit Hole design.
So it's a lot of work.
163
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:07,900
So basically all the really cool
audio things that you guys hear,
164
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,500
the music, the intros, and stuff
like that, that's all going to
165
00:10:10,508 --> 00:10:13,700
go away.
There will be some changes to
166
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,700
the infinite Rabbit Hole.
I will talk to you guys about
167
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,600
these later, but I do have some
sort of an idea of where, what
168
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,700
direction I want to go to go in
and I think it's in the long run
169
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:29,200
is going to make the show a lot
better.
170
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,300
So as of right now, we are
looking for another co-host.
171
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,500
So if you are interested, you
got to let us know.
172
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:43,200
Now I'm not making any decisions
off the wing.
173
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
We are going to have interview
processes.
174
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Just don't know what they are
yet, but you got to get in
175
00:10:49,808 --> 00:10:52,600
contact with me.
If your infant rabbit hole at
176
00:10:52,608 --> 00:10:58,100
gmail.com, hit me up on DM
Facebook, go over to incident
177
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:02,100
rabbit hole.com.
And hit the, the message
178
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:05,600
messages or whatever button,
something like that.
179
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,800
And let me know that you are
interested.
180
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,600
I'm not going to make this
decision quick and we may have
181
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,300
some episodes where we just have
three people or two, who knows?
182
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,800
Because Jeremy's gonna leave
too.
183
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:24,400
It's all kids no kid.
This is yours.
184
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:30,400
Good luck.
Okay, don't ruin it.
185
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:37,400
Can I fire myself now?
All right, but that's enough of
186
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,300
that.
We've talked for quite a while,
187
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:40,500
Jeff.
You got anything that you want
188
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,200
to say?
It's my bedtime.
189
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,200
No, we're just starting.
So I do have an intro for this
190
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:52,600
jacob.
You're not getting tribal.
191
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,100
I see.
I see how it is.
192
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800
So this is probably going to be
the last thing that Jake ever
193
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,500
doesn't intro for.
We'll see what.
194
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:21,100
Yep, yeah, probably
In December of 1967, the Silver
195
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:24,000
Bridge, Connecting Point,
Pleasant West, Virginia, and
196
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,900
glop Alice Ohio collapse into
the icy waters of the Ohio,
197
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:33,100
river and among other things,
the mystery of the Mothman was
198
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,400
thrown into the Limelight and
became one of the darling poster
199
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,900
children of cryptozoology and
urban legends in 1909 just east
200
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,800
of the land Mothman.
The snallygaster came.
201
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
The scene in the mountains of
Western Maryland.
202
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,000
Stories Crawl Through the
hollers and hills of the
203
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,400
northern Appalachians of this
flying phenomenon and its
204
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,900
tendencies that pickup full
grown men drain them of their
205
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,700
blood before tossing, the empty
bodies back to the Earth.
206
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,700
And before that in January the
same year just to the north in
207
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,300
the desolate Pine Barrens.
New Jersey.
208
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,200
A double was loose and tore
through the nightmares of Boom
209
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,400
Doc pineys and city Folk like
things got so bad that working
210
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,400
School.
Shut down from January 16th,
211
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,900
22nd due to the DraStic increase
of devil encounters but before
212
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:31,800
the mouth snellie and JD there
was another notorious Terror of
213
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,800
the night.
One that began its rain six
214
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,600
years before the likes of any
other heavyweight Airborne
215
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,200
Cryptid time to step back in
time, travelers back to 1903 and
216
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,100
mid-autumn to a town.
Just a thousand Souls just
217
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:51,400
outside of Des Moines Iowa.
A visitor is about to make their
218
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,400
presence known in Van Meter,
welcome back to infinite rabbit.
219
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,300
Kind of stumble over my words
there at the end, but whatever.
220
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,500
So this isn't a Jersey Devil
episode.
221
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,300
This is not a Jersey Devil
episode although, you know, you
222
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,700
guys will learn pretty quick,
but this is another aerial
223
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:28,900
Cryptid.
This is a very unique story,
224
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,200
this is one that can be debated.
This is not something that's
225
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,300
just a story because there are
holes in it but I mean this
226
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:41,400
comes back from 1903.
So Of course, there's going to
227
00:14:41,408 --> 00:14:45,400
be some holes there, right?
Because by now, you know, the
228
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000
game of telephone probably
change this Legend from what it
229
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,600
really was to something
drastically different But I'm
230
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,500
gonna give you what I found.
All right, holes, are we talking
231
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:58,800
about here like big old gaping
holes or little tiny holes?
232
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,800
I wouldn't say it's a gave her,
but yeah, Caper fair enough.
233
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,500
All right, any questions before
we get started?
234
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,300
No visitor of Van Meter in the
book.
235
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:20,000
The Van Meter visitor by Chad,
Lewis, Noah, Voss and Kevin Lee
236
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Nelson.
The men make mention of an
237
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,300
article from 1903 titles.
Des Moines new monster and
238
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:30,000
quoted.
The article is sitting quote to
239
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,200
weird-looking Terror strike
striking monsters are living in
240
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,200
an abandoned Coal, Mine on the
edge of town.
241
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,300
The abandoned Coal Mine, the
article was referring to was the
242
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:43,700
old Van Meter Coal Mine which in
1879 was sold to the Chicago
243
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,200
Coal Company.
They used to provide the town of
244
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,800
Tracy's Nat natural resources to
entities, such as The Rock
245
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,800
Island Railroad Company.
This, along with the popular,
246
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,400
clay Brick & Tile Factory, which
use clay from nearby areas in
247
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,200
the coal, mine itself made the
small town of Tracy, a popular
248
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,600
hub for labor by the turn of the
20th century.
249
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:08,100
All of this was thanks to a very
important Pioneer by the name of
250
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,100
Jay, our Van Meter in.
A town eventually changed his
251
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:15,700
name to to pay homage as many
people made their way into the
252
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:20,100
u.s. across the Midwest more and
more people began settling in
253
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,900
the newly named named town of
Van Meter IA.
254
00:16:22,908 --> 00:16:27,900
Iowa as these newcomers settled,
not only in Van Meter, but
255
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:31,000
throughout the entire State
Supernatural, beliefs and lure
256
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,600
came with them, both before.
And after the vizard terrified,
257
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,600
the people of Van Meter stories
of werewolves wild men water
258
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,700
monsters ghosts and
Self-illuminating.
259
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,300
Illuminated, orbs were detailed
by many who called this state
260
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:48,300
home, although many of these
stories, have some documentation
261
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:52,200
to them, none of them have been
reported in such a way that
262
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,500
Rivals, the Van Meter visitor, a
flying monster said to be living
263
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,400
in the abandoned Coal Mine in
town.
264
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,099
All right.
Y'all ready to get visited?
265
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:11,500
Yeah, man.
Who gets soaked visitor?
266
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,200
Just not probed.
All right, go, you're going to
267
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,400
wish you got broke.
All right.
268
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:21,099
Let's start diving into the
first events.
269
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,300
Yugi Griffith was walking home
at 1 a.m.
270
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:29,700
Tuesday, September 29th, 1903
after a long day at work at his
271
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:33,000
tool and seed store and Van
Meter IA Iowa as mr.
272
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:37,700
If it's was approached as mr.
Griffith approached the Mather
273
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:40,500
and Greg's building in town.
As part of his normal route
274
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,400
home.
His attention was drawn to the
275
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,400
top of the building, where there
stood a light he had never seen
276
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,300
before.
His first thoughts were that the
277
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:50,600
building was being robbed and
began to move closer to get a
278
00:17:50,608 --> 00:17:52,500
better view.
But as he approached the
279
00:17:52,508 --> 00:17:55,400
building the light quickly,
floated away from the Mather and
280
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,400
Greg and was now stalled on top
of another building across the
281
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,900
street and as quick as it took
to move to the other building,
282
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:06,300
The light disappeared.
Mr. Griffith didn't have to
283
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:09,300
worry about robbers anymore,
Griffin.
284
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,100
This is walk home and fell
asleep.
285
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:16,300
The next morning, he who was a
very respected member of the
286
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,400
Town who held a seat on the
Village Council and belong to
287
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,500
very respected clubs began
telling all that would listen
288
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:26,700
about his encounter the night,
prior with a mysterious light.
289
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,800
A few newspapers picked up on
the story and would publish the
290
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,900
next day it report of Griffiths
Griffiths account.
291
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:37,000
But little was made of it in a
public manner, the rest of the
292
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,500
first or second day dr.
Alcott went to sleep, the night
293
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,100
of the 29th.
The very next day in a small
294
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:48,500
room, behind the office, in
which he in his practice and
295
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,900
doze off to the sound of light
rain.
296
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,000
Just shy of 1 a.m.
Wednesday morning.
297
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,000
He was awoken by an extremely
bright light shining.
298
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,400
In his face, the pudgy little
man jumped up out of bed and
299
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,000
grabbed his gun and ran outside
to confront those that were
300
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,300
torturing his sleep as dr.
Alcott turned the corner outside
301
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:09,900
of his doctors office.
He came face-to-face with a
302
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,400
creature that he could never, he
could have never created in his
303
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,400
nightmares.
A half man, half animal as
304
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Alcott later described stood in
front of him with large bat-like
305
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,700
wings and a blunt horn coming
out of the middle of his
306
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:25,700
forehead.
But the light now, the light was
307
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:29,700
intense and was originating out
from the small protrusion on his
308
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:32,700
face and dr.
Alcott raised his revolver and
309
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:35,100
fired.
Five shots into the creature,
310
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,400
which seemed to not affect it in
the slightest.
311
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,500
So he turned tail and ran back
into his office.
312
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,300
Lock the doors and windows, and
hunkered in until Daybreak as
313
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:47,100
the sun rose on, whip on
Wednesday.
314
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:50,300
September 30th 1903 and Van
Meter IA.
315
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:53,400
Iowa dr.
Alcott began telling his story
316
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,200
to a select few men.
And before long, the story had
317
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,900
been the Talk of the Town and
nobody looked at the two
318
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:02,600
encounters is being caused by
the same entity yet.
319
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,300
In the very early morning hours.
The next day.
320
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:10,800
Clarence done, was on his way to
the bank that he worked at as a
321
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,600
teller.
And would one day manage, he was
322
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,300
one of the only or one of a very
few people in the town that saw
323
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:22,500
the two stories, a strange
lights being possibly connected
324
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,300
and it was his concern that
there were robbers about.
325
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,500
So we headed to the bank to
guard it for the night, shotgun
326
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:32,900
hand around 1 a.m. mr.
Dunn, finally arrived and began
327
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:36,000
his Long night Garden to source
of income that kept his family
328
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000
live, a strange gurgling sound
arose, from a rose him from his
329
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,900
chair before an intense light
illuminated him from the window
330
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,300
at the front of the bank, the
light swept around the room and
331
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:50,800
snap back to Clarence.
As he was.
332
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,300
Raising a shotgun, the light
settled on him.
333
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,300
Once again, as he pulled the
trigger shattering the glass in
334
00:20:56,308 --> 00:20:59,500
the creature was gone once
again, according to mr.
335
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:03,000
Dunn, he shot it perfectly and
there was no way that he missed.
336
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:06,200
In the Morning Light, the only
evidence that anything was there
337
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:10,700
was shattered glass outside of
the bank, and a few three toe
338
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:15,700
tracks that thankfully mr.
Dunn casted, in plaster that
339
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:19,500
night, oh V white was asleep
above the Fisher and white
340
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:23,300
hardware and furniture store
that he co-owned when he was
341
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:27,100
shocked awake by an intense
sound right outside of his
342
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,000
second story.
Quarters on Main Street, he
343
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
grabbed his gun as he had heard
the rumors around town.
344
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,900
Of a creature on the loose and
went to his window to see what
345
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,900
was making the incredible sound
as he opened the window, the
346
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:41,400
sound stopped mr.
White look through the
347
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,100
drizzling, the drizzle falling
on the street below him as he
348
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,100
began to look around.
He noticed a dark figure
349
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,800
standing on the cross section of
the telephone pole across the
350
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,700
street and immediately mr.
White believe, he knew that the
351
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,500
culprit was perched at a height
that was unbelievable for
352
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:00,000
something.
So big to be at 0 V, white took
353
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,500
aim and fired around directly.
Lee at the creature he shot that
354
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:09,900
he described as an ordinary good
shot but the creature didn't
355
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:12,500
fall instead.
It turned around and Shine the
356
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:14,400
most incredible light directly
at mr.
357
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,000
White and whatever it was seemed
to emit a smell that was so
358
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,800
strong that white reported that
it confused him and he lost
359
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,000
track of what was happening.
The same shot rang out
360
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
throughout town and awakens his
neighbor.
361
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Sydney, gray mr.
Our Sydney Greg sorry.
362
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:35,200
Mr. Greg, ran to his front door.
Which faced out to to Main
363
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Street and was shocked.
At the sight of a very large
364
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,500
creature with long Wings, making
its way down the telephone pole
365
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:44,800
in a way that reminded him of a
parrot to sending a poll in its
366
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,100
cage.
The creature held its body
367
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:50,300
horizontal to the ground and
climbed down one foot.
368
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,100
After the other while using its
large beak to make a constant 3
369
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:58,400
points of contact mr.
Greg described it as almost 8
370
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,900
feet tall with a very large beak
and a light as bright as
371
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:04,900
Electric.
And emanating from its forehead,
372
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:09,000
both men, described an
incredible stench after it began
373
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:13,600
moving from its perch Sydney.
Greg heard the loud sound of the
374
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,200
oncoming train that brought the
Daily Mail and as if the
375
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,100
creature, I've never heard a
sound like that before, it
376
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:23,400
dropped low to the ground as if
startled by the Rivalry noise.
377
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,400
Mr. Greg only 15 feet away from
the creature watched, as it took
378
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,100
large leaps before dropping to
all fours and running until it
379
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:34,400
eventually took flight towards
the Abandoned coal mining town.
380
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,800
That was the last time.
Anyone saw the creature that
381
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,700
night?
All right guys.
382
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,600
So what you guys think about the
first three days?
383
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,700
Four days, four days back
back-to-back events.
384
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,300
The first thing I think of is
the Thunderbird or a very large
385
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:57,700
bat.
Does he know that way?
386
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,900
Either way the light, I believe
that the light shining into
387
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,300
their eyes, would cause a
massive reflection if their eyes
388
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:14,200
are big enough, so, The way that
these these encounters read.
389
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:19,900
And one of The Tell-Tale signs
of the Van Meter visitor, is as
390
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:24,400
self-illuminating light where
the light comes from the
391
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,800
creature itself.
That's just, you know, we've
392
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,900
discussed this before.
I don't think there is a single
393
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:34,400
animal on the face of the Earth
that we know of, I mean, let's
394
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,100
preface this.
That we know of that has light
395
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:40,300
that actually shines from its
eyes.
396
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:44,200
So it doesn't come from size.
Comes from a spot on his
397
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,800
forehead.
That's not true.
398
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,500
Either, there are bioluminescent
animals and like the anglerfish,
399
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:53,600
there's things.
Maybe they don't shine a light
400
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,700
like a flashlight or like a
laser beam, but does it mean?
401
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,500
Couldn't happen if you had.
I could see that being
402
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,400
biologically possible is what
I'm saying.
403
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,500
What I'm getting at.
I, I tackle this with an idea.
404
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,700
I have later on, we'll get back
into that in a minute because I
405
00:25:10,708 --> 00:25:13,200
know that like, when you hear
this story of the Van Meter
406
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,100
visitor, that's the first thing
that pops in your head is is
407
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,500
that damn light.
If if that light wasn't there
408
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,800
this could be a number of things
like Jake was saying right.
409
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:25,200
One thing I don't go into is
Thunderbird.
410
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,300
I just I For one.
Don't think it's a Thunderbird
411
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:31,400
whatsoever but there are a lot
of other options that it could
412
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,400
possibly be.
It was just that idea that going
413
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,300
down the pole like that.
I could totally picture at me
414
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:37,700
like that sounds like a big
bird.
415
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,100
Yeah.
But no Jeff I meant like from
416
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:41,800
its eyeballs because that's
always what we hear is that
417
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,300
their eyes were glowing because
eyes are made to take in light
418
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:51,700
not projected to you're not a
bioluminescence like of course
419
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:55,900
we see in Plants we see in some
animals like generally fish,
420
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:57,700
deep underwater.
And stuff like that, where there
421
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:00,300
is no light, they create
bioluminescence but it was the
422
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,000
eyes.
I was referring to but the light
423
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
on top of the head though.
I don't know.
424
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,900
I'm digging this story though,
so far, it is a good story.
425
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,200
Van Meter, visitors, classic
iconic, special second part.
426
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,500
I kind of feel like in 1903 in
Des Moines, Iowa, there's
427
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:22,700
probably some bullshit story.
There might be, there might be a
428
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:25,200
little town, the whole town to
give another thing.
429
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,300
Is it starts with one, it starts
with one right guys, eating bar,
430
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,000
whatever, right?
And he's like, yeah, man.
431
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,800
And then somebody here is it and
like, there's nothing going on
432
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:41,500
in Des Moines Iowa.
Now in 20 13 was happening
433
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:43,900
there.
So of course, like the next guy
434
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:46,500
is going to want to be in on it
somehow like what happened to me
435
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,100
too man.
Yeah when I got a cast of the
436
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:53,500
foot to nude.
Yeah the okay it pulled down my
437
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,200
pants and showed me.
What was what?
438
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,700
Yeah, tasted gray.
That's what I latched onto is
439
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:03,600
the casting.
I want to see the casting of
440
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,700
this foot.
So let's talk.
441
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:09,100
Up this cast because it no
longer exists.
442
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,600
Ah, how appropriate, how
appropriate?
443
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:16,300
Okay, one thing we could talk
about this because I actually
444
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:20,600
didn't mention this throughout
my presentation here which is
445
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:26,100
pretty critical know, there's
two things that are wrong with
446
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:31,900
the cast from 1903 in Van Meter,
Iowa, one the Caster that the
447
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:40,500
cast The casting plaster that
they used was It was kind of
448
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:44,300
gooey, it wasn't solidified,
like it is now like we add salt
449
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,400
to ours.
Now, never used to do that.
450
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,700
So it became very very brittle
and it wasn't something that was
451
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:54,600
meant to stay as a cast for a
very long time that just didn't
452
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,100
last.
Also a few years later at the
453
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:04,900
want to say it was by 1910.
Almost the entire town burned
454
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,000
down.
Hmm.
455
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,400
So if this cat's did exist and
was in that town, there's a good
456
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,800
possibility that even if it was
real that it's that it wouldn't
457
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,300
be around today where they're at
least photographs taken of it in
458
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,600
1903.
I don't know if the camera exist
459
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,700
tried.
I tried Googling it.
460
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:30,400
All I got was artist, Renditions
of what the Cryptid is supposed
461
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,500
to look like no actual foot.
Castings are pictures of said
462
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:37,800
casting, right?
And I'm glad you brought that up
463
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:45,800
because when I put this video on
YouTube, I am going to plaster
464
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,300
it with some of these artists
Renditions of this thing.
465
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:55,100
I think the they're awesome.
It's this this creature so
466
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:56,700
intense.
And like if you look at some of
467
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:01,000
these, some of these pictures,
Jake I think specially you,
468
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,100
because you spent a lot of time
playing ARCA me, you're going to
469
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,500
get some ideas of what this
Looks like an Argent Avis.
470
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:13,400
No, no it actually looks like a
quetzel or a Pteranodon so so
471
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,900
you might be talking about the
other version of the Thunderbird
472
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:20,800
which is more like there's a big
flying reptile out there right
473
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,600
now that, you know, if you if
you look at or if you listen to
474
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,700
the description that comes off
of this thing bat-like Wings
475
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:30,000
stands out.
Yeah.
476
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,400
Right.
And that reminds me of a
477
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200
Pteranodon, something from that
family.
478
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,800
But I get into that too, so I
don't want to dive too much into
479
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,500
that.
You guys read move on and could
480
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,600
have they been nighttime Hunters
with bioluminescence?
481
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:49,600
I say that in my right, Jeff.
I have a question about this
482
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,800
town burning down.
Do you go into that?
483
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,600
I don't know.
Because that, that was a
484
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,800
separate incident, then the Van
Meter visitor completely.
485
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,400
So I don't talk about it.
Although, the book that I did
486
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:07,600
read, which I stated the title,
is Van Meter visitor by three
487
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:13,100
different people live.
Well, it's just interesting
488
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:16,400
because it's around the same
time that all the world's fairs
489
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,400
were being brought around and
burned down and all of history
490
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,300
was being erased.
So I wonder if that town was
491
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:25,900
burned down on purpose to a Some
shit that might have actually
492
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,700
been going down, maybe good
possibility.
493
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:32,400
That is interesting that you
said that but the book is by
494
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:35,500
Louis faucet Nelson.
It's a great book.
495
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:41,400
I actually from the same, the
same authors did the windigo
496
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,600
book that I did the windigo
episodes, awful kid.
497
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,400
Cool.
You guys ready?
498
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:53,600
And we'll just too just to
answer your question.
499
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,400
Yes, photography was around in
1901 that giant mound of Buffalo
500
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,600
skulls and stuff where people
are standing in front of it,
501
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,300
that was taken in 1880.
Although it would have been very
502
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:06,800
expensive.
Yeah, so far later.
503
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Yeah.
Yeah, let me let me pay a quick
504
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:17,000
thousand dollars to have this
picture taken shit this cast.
505
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:18,900
Alright?
Jeff you ready?
506
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Okay, good Jeff left, everybody
just walks away.
507
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,100
That's what he does.
All right, he's gonna miss him,
508
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,800
the story, I'm not catching him
up.
509
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Alright, next bit the town's
folks Last Stand.
510
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,300
The town woke up to Terror as
yet.
511
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:40,900
Another sighting of the creature
was made last night and not just
512
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:44,500
any sighting Sydney.
Greg was 15 away. 15 feet away
513
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:48,300
from it and had a perfect view
of the thing while mr.
514
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:50,600
White shot.
It again, before it admitted a
515
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,200
terrible odor and ran off
towards the coal.
516
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,200
Mine people were now connecting
the three events that all
517
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,300
happened and I say three, it's
for I do apologize for events
518
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,600
that all happened in for
consecutive nights.
519
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:10,200
You had the light on top of the
building, you had the Doctor Who
520
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,500
came around his building and
fired five shots into it.
521
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:17,600
You have the bank teller who
shot it through a window with a
522
00:32:17,608 --> 00:32:20,500
shotgun and then you have mr.
White, and mr.
523
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:24,600
Gregg's story where it came down
telephone pole.
524
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,900
And like the, the scariest
fucking way that anything, I'm
525
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:31,500
not a fucking telephone pole,
I'd be like, nah, I'm good.
526
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:37,300
I'm going to go back to bed.
People were now connecting the
527
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:41,100
four events that all happened in
four consecutive Nights by for
528
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:44,800
diff are five different
important men in the town.
529
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,800
This thing was big, it was loud.
It flew and somehow it was able
530
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,300
to shine in an incredible light
which gave it the upper hand in
531
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:56,500
the nighttime.
When it had visited Van Meter, a
532
00:32:56,500 --> 00:33:00,600
local high school teacher
reported as only named
533
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,900
Professor.
Martin said that the creature
534
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:09,700
was most likely and to divide
until Aunt diluvian and to
535
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:13,600
leuven, which means from room.
Yeah, that's why I said, which
536
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,500
means from a time before the
great flood, but nobody knew for
537
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:22,100
sure exactly what it was and why
it was here the evening of
538
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,900
Friday October.
Second was a long one, everybody
539
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:29,300
was on alert due to reports and
men, who worked at the factory
540
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:31,400
and brick plant in the same
area.
541
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,800
Reported sounds coming from deep
within the shafts one
542
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,200
description to sounds.
Whereas quote, though Satan and
543
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,200
a regiment of imps were coming
forth for a battle JL Platt.
544
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,900
Jr.
Was the plant manager at this
545
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:48,700
Factory and was a very seasoned
worker of both the mind and the
546
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:52,500
brickworks, The Sounds emanating
from the hollows of the voids
547
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:55,600
that were the old.
Ended mine shaft, just 600 feet
548
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,500
away from the building.
He was now in charge of were
549
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:01,400
terrifying to all the men who
were who were working that
550
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,800
night, mr.
Platt group, curious and
551
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,800
approached the entrance to the
mine and was shocked to witness
552
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,000
the winged monstrosity along
with a slightly smaller, one as
553
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,300
well.
He described both creatures as
554
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:16,800
having the bright light, that
others had reported and came
555
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,100
extremely close to them as they
took flight directly over his
556
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:22,699
position.
All of the men working that
557
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:26,000
night at at various distances
between mr.
558
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,699
Platts position and the plant
only 600 feet away, saw them as
559
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:31,699
they flew off into the darkness
of night.
560
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:35,500
The reports didn't wait until
morning the men knew what they
561
00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:37,800
had to do.
So they went back to town and
562
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,900
gather all the men and their
firearms on the way out.
563
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:44,000
All of lights were turned on in
town to provide some sort of
564
00:34:44,007 --> 00:34:47,300
comfort and protection for the
younger men children and women
565
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:50,000
of Van Meter.
If those things came back to the
566
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,400
mines tonight, they will be met
by A Chorus of shots fired by
567
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,600
Man in town.
The night was not as exciting as
568
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,900
everyone had hoped the men
waited until Daybreak for the
569
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,800
creature.
And the last moments of daylight
570
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:07,300
the two huge flying Terrors were
spotted heading back to the
571
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:10,600
mouth of the Mind.
The entire mob of men with their
572
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,800
firearms took aim and fired.
And volley, that was heard by
573
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,900
and frightened those in town.
As the creatures flew closer.
574
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,400
Another horrific smell permeated
the area and many men could not
575
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,900
take the smell and quit firing,
but it made no difference
576
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:31,600
because even with the dozens or
hundreds of shots fired, the
577
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,300
creatures flew lazily by the men
guarding the mouth of the mine
578
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,700
as if they weren't even there a
new Terror struck them all.
579
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,300
Not, everyone was convinced that
these creatures even existed,
580
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,200
and if they did, the reported
shots would have had to have
581
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,400
been off and not actually hit
the creature, but there was no
582
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,200
questioning longer.
They were here.
583
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,600
And bullets did absolutely
nothing to them.
584
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:59,000
That was the last reported
sighting of the mysterious large
585
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,300
flying monster with a natural
Spotlight on its forehead.
586
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:05,500
All of this information
originally came from articles
587
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:09,800
published by the Des Moines,
Daily News and was brilliantly.
588
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,900
Recaptured in the Van Meter
visitor, a book by Chad, Lewis,
589
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:17,800
Noah Voss.
And Kevin Lee Nelson, many
590
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,000
Mysteries.
Still exists about the origins
591
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,800
and the eventual end of this
mysterious monster.
592
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,300
Some say that the townspeople
boarded up, the old mine shaft
593
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:29,600
and blocked them in, until they
starve and died.
594
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,900
Their bones eternally lost time
and the concoction of fumes
595
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:37,700
produced by such mind.
Some say that the creatures flew
596
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,300
out and away after the
onslaught, by the Myriad of
597
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:44,200
bullets, fired at them.
During that Last Stand by the
598
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,400
men of Van Meter, or maybe
they're still out there.
599
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,400
All right, so, that's it.
That is everything.
600
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:56,200
The rest of the episode is all
dissection, okay, we're going to
601
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,100
dive into possibilities and
we're going to go way down the
602
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:04,200
rabbit hole just so unlike what
Jeff will tell you that
603
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:10,600
dinosaurs never existed.
Now, I'm just teasing but
604
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:17,500
truthfully we don't know because
we only have bones, right?
605
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:21,800
What These animals because I
mean, I looked up the images to
606
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,700
they look exactly like
pteranodons.
607
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,600
But of course, that's artist.
Renditions going off of
608
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,500
something, the we already
believe to know existed.
609
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:33,400
Right.
But we don't know what their
610
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,000
skin makeup was.
We don't know if they had some
611
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,600
sort of a scent gland where they
could put off this disgusting
612
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,000
odor, right?
We don't know if they had, I
613
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,400
don't know, very thick skin,
right?
614
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:49,500
Like you got a match.
Legend.
615
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:53,900
There's no, they're probably not
be any real protection on them.
616
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,600
Granted it have to be light to
fly around unless their bones
617
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,900
were very dense but I don't
think that's the case.
618
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:02,800
But that we don't know any of
that stuff.
619
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,600
We don't know if they created
bioluminescence, we don't know.
620
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,900
Even what color they were?
You know, some people even say
621
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,700
oh well the dinosaurs had
feathers and turns out that was
622
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:16,600
a lie too because you know, that
that original fossil is a fake
623
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,700
but it's just So much stuff.
We don't know about the
624
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,600
dinosaurs because we only thing
we have is their bones and even
625
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,300
the question remains for some of
them being so big.
626
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:33,200
How did you know their bones?
Take the weight of them as you
627
00:38:33,207 --> 00:38:35,300
know, full-grown adults?
How do they mate?
628
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,400
Like that?
The best explanation I've gotten
629
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,000
for that one.
Is that they bred when they were
630
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,100
young, once they got too big I
mean they couldn't possibly lift
631
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:45,400
themselves up in order to breed
with each other even like
632
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,800
lizards do so.
You know, they probably did that
633
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,200
as As you know, as smaller
younger dinosaurs.
634
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:57,000
But there's so many things that
is just Unknown about them.
635
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,300
So if in fact, there were
pteranodons that maybe still
636
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:03,000
inhabit the Earth and to some
degree or another in some
637
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,800
places, you know, which could
they have a spotlight shine out
638
00:39:06,808 --> 00:39:08,000
of their foreheads?
Sure, why not?
639
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,200
Yeah, because we have no clue,
you know?
640
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,800
They could be purple with pink
spots.
641
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,900
We have no idea.
Probably not.
642
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:16,900
But you know, it's just like,
could they be sky-blue?
643
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:17,900
I don't know.
Right.
644
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,500
And so it's just like So, we
different things.
645
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:27,000
I am not above thinking that to
a degree, you know, some of
646
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,400
these dinosaurs, you know, was
still exist around the earth.
647
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,500
You know, in very small
populations or maybe in large
648
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:39,600
populations, but in very remote
areas where maybe the tribes
649
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,000
people that live there.
The you know, just the
650
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,300
population itself doesn't want
to expose that these things
651
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:47,900
happen because what's going to
happen all the world scientists
652
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:49,700
are going to show up there at
their Doorstep.
653
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:54,100
So, you know, I think that this
is a very interesting story and
654
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,800
I'm not quick to say this is all
baloney.
655
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:04,400
Nice, anybody else?
I don't know, bro.
656
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,700
So is there anybody is there any
documentation of interviews from
657
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:11,800
these people who had these
sightings or is this all just
658
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,300
based off of the newspaper
articles in the time, just
659
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:16,900
newspaper overdose of the
tournament.
660
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:19,800
That's it.
This was a very, very small
661
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,000
area.
This was not a very big area,
662
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,300
the whole, that whole that whole
section, the country was
663
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:30,300
underdeveloped, it was Blue
Collar as Blue Collar get.
664
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:33,400
It's like if you lived in the
town, Own you worked in the
665
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,100
mine.
It was a simple as that.
666
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:40,600
Here's the problem is like that
geographical location in my mind
667
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:46,200
is hard for creatures like that
to have existed, unknown going
668
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,600
back, thousands of years.
All right.
669
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,900
If they've somehow survived, you
know, like I've been Daiwa.
670
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,900
There's not a whole lot of
places to hide a lot of corn but
671
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,800
you believe in the whole earth
and their miners, could they
672
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,500
have cracked open a hole in
these things.
673
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,800
Escape from It.
Yes, that's that.
674
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,800
Ran through my mind to that.
I mean, that's always a theory,
675
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,100
right?
Every episode, no matter what
676
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:10,600
we're talking about.
It's always comes down to like,
677
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,700
well, maybe in the hollow Earth,
or maybe in the ocean, I'm sure
678
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:19,200
some connection there.
So, yeah, but also we're in the
679
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:25,100
middle of bumfuck nowhere with
in the middle of like an era
680
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:27,800
when there's not shit going on,
right?
681
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:34,800
So, So let me spit out.
Another little fact that I did
682
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,900
not include here.
One thing is that they did not
683
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:44,100
publicize this like the town.
Like if you go to any other
684
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:49,200
Cryptid Town, Mothman, Loveland
Frogman, snallygaster Jersey
685
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,800
Devil.
You have festivals, man.
686
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:57,200
Every year annual festivals, The
first Annual Festival of this
687
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,200
was like five years ago, they
had to be convinced an outsider
688
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,700
had to come and convince them to
do something for their monster.
689
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:08,400
Like these people just they
didn't they didn't Market it.
690
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:11,800
I mean, I'm not saying it was
done for that reason.
691
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,200
I mean it very well could have
just been a simple as like
692
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:16,600
somebody working at the
newspaper was like, hey this is
693
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,200
a fun story.
Yeah.
694
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,500
Right.
We publish one and then next
695
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:23,700
thing, you know the guy at the
bar is like, I seen it.
696
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,500
Right.
What motherfucker man he can't
697
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:30,100
about now.
I will say I will say just to
698
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:34,000
kind of give you a little bit of
warm heart here, right?
699
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:38,500
This book does reference the
almanacs?
700
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:47,100
I'm not the only next the know I
was tracking and then you just
701
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,000
go fucking.
What's the thing?
702
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:54,400
We population survey, the thing,
you know, Census.
703
00:42:54,800 --> 00:43:09,000
They seized what an idiot.
Oh my the the census from those
704
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,600
times these people existed.
So these people lived in Van
705
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:20,000
Meter, right?
So how would a somebody from Des
706
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,600
Moines even know all of these
people that lived in Van Meter?
707
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:34,100
I mean that's less of a stretch
than yo some you know, better
708
00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:35,900
than that law from the elm neck,
right?
709
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:41,500
Yeah.
Come on the fence, dude.
710
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:46,200
I'm not saying this is just,
there's a lot of room for me to
711
00:43:46,207 --> 00:43:48,500
be like, you know what, man?
They probably made this shit up.
712
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,000
I agree.
And that's one of the biggest
713
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,000
things with the Van Meter
visitor, is, you know, a lot of
714
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,100
this stuff.
There's like a lot of things
715
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:00,200
that make sense here.
Like, when you talk about the
716
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,800
biology of this creature, the
only thing that doesn't work is
717
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,100
the fucking light on its head.
That's the only thing that
718
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,000
doesn't work, I'll get it.
We're going to dive into some
719
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,600
more stuff here.
I'm going to dive into some of
720
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,200
the possibilities of what this
thing could be some more of the
721
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,400
background of town and whatnot.
And I think we're going to open
722
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,200
your minds up a little bit.
Maybe it's just one and they
723
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,200
have that big old horn that
comes out of the top of their
724
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:28,600
head to some degree and it just
got a Got a lantern from the
725
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,700
cave stuck on its head.
And so I was looking at people
726
00:44:31,700 --> 00:44:37,600
and I had this later like the
light of death that's just for
727
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,100
you while.
It's just trying to ask for some
728
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:44,400
help, get this thing off my head
and I live in the hallway.
729
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,900
That's what my skin looks like
mold.
730
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,300
Yeah.
All right guys, let's let's move
731
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:54,500
along.
So what was it in the book by
732
00:44:54,500 --> 00:44:59,100
Lewis Voss and Nelson.
More Voss takes the lead in
733
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:03,100
chapter 7 and which he outlines
a list, he compiled a possible
734
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:05,900
other sightings of the creature
through the process.
735
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:09,100
He eliminates known and unknown
creatures that share less than
736
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:12,200
three similarities with the Van
Meter visitor, some of these
737
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,100
similarities are physical such
as the huge size giant bat-like
738
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:19,000
wings or a light
self-illuminated from its body.
739
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:23,100
Some were mannerisms such as
Using its beak to descend off a
740
00:45:23,107 --> 00:45:27,100
tree, like structure fly at
times between midnight and
741
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:30,900
Daybreak and some other of these
characteristics were based off
742
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:34,800
of non physical similarities
such as the, disgusting odor, or
743
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,100
the preference for choosing Old
Mines.
744
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:41,500
It's home vas begins.
His list by detailing the story
745
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:45,000
of the lake Lisbeth area
sighting that described a flying
746
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,400
alligator with six legs and like
Elizabeth California near the
747
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,700
early 1800s.
He then goes into outlining the
748
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,100
snallygaster from Maryland and
which he did an entire unless we
749
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:00,600
did an entire episode covering
said creature.
750
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Oldest Ally was very large, had
a horrific sound lived in caves
751
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,800
and mines and the Appalachian
areas of Maryland and
752
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,400
neighboring states as well.
As mostly sighted at night,
753
00:46:11,500 --> 00:46:14,300
could these be different
descriptions of the same species
754
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:17,000
of creature?
After the snallygaster Voss,
755
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,700
then dives into the Jersey
Devil.
756
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,600
And if you haven't heard our
coverage a JD yet, I'm gonna
757
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,100
feel personally attacked as the
two-part episode.
758
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:28,200
Is one of my absolute favorites
I've ever done for the show, but
759
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,800
the last comparison.
No, Voss uses is one that I wish
760
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,700
there was more context on
because I love the legend.
761
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,600
The Stansbury Island creature
Stansbury island is the second
762
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,300
largest island in Utah's.
Great Salt Lake slightly over a
763
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:48,100
thousand miles away and only
about three weeks earlier than
764
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:51,700
the incident in Van Meter, the
Stansbury Island creature, Was
765
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:55,400
spotted and studied by Martin
Gilbert and John Berry for three
766
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,800
days.
They described it as half bird
767
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,600
and half reptile.
The two Hunters said it had the
768
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,300
head of an alligator, the wings
of a bat covered in scales and
769
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:08,700
had fiercely glowing eyes.
The men witnessed, the creature
770
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:13,100
taking full grown horses into a
nearby cave as they listened to
771
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:15,700
the screams of death as it
devoured its victims.
772
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,600
This, of course, is very
interesting is a very
773
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,200
interesting event when it comes.
The time frame and the distance
774
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,000
away from Van Meter IA.
Iowa, both of which I was not
775
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,800
fully aware of before reading,
Louis fossum belson's book.
776
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,500
Another thing that may seem in
important to some is that this
777
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:38,400
island is only a three-hour
drive to Skinwalker Ranch.
778
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,200
Personally, I find this very
interesting as this place has
779
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,500
been known for portals to other
dimensions.
780
00:47:44,900 --> 00:47:47,300
Then you take physical
descriptions and habits such as
781
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:51,400
choosing to live in a cave which
when compared to a mine, it is
782
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,900
Is easy to see the similarities
out of the four options Voss
783
00:47:54,900 --> 00:47:57,000
lays out in this book.
I think this is the most
784
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,100
probable to have been have been
another creature with a famous
785
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:04,600
visitor of Van Meter.
And another location now, to
786
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,800
move on to other possibilities
that were not pointed out in
787
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,800
this book.
There are a few options that
788
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,900
come to mind immediately in my
opinion, those being Mothman and
789
00:48:13,900 --> 00:48:17,000
a Pteranodon of some sorts.
Let's start with Mothman.
790
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:22,200
Now, this one might might be a
stretch that I admit, but Not
791
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,300
looking at it, even briefly is
not good for a research or
792
00:48:25,300 --> 00:48:28,900
studies.
When we take voss's comparative,
793
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,000
comparative views into
consideration, Mothman has large
794
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,800
Wings half man, half creature
self-illuminating, eyes, and is
795
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,100
commonly believed to have made
the famous TNT site is home.
796
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:43,700
Now, the eyes of Mothman are
said to be red, but does that
797
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:46,200
mean that every creature?
Like the Van Meter visitor, has
798
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,400
to have a white light.
There are tons of species here
799
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,100
on Earth that come in different
colors shapes and Sizes, two
800
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:54,900
others in their family.
Could this not apply to these
801
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:57,900
creatures as well?
Eylem, it seems like a stretch,
802
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,000
but I would check, I wouldn't
check Mothman off the list of
803
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
preliminary with the preliminary
information.
804
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,300
Sorry guys, I can't read today.
The next is the trend on but
805
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:12,400
let's not get caught up directly
to the Pteranodon itself.
806
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,800
There are met, there were many
different flying reptiles in the
807
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,900
age of the dinos but
specifically, I would like to
808
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:21,400
look at the order of reptiles
known as terrorists.
809
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,800
Korea among these extinct.
Flying reptiles are the plenty
810
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,900
of subclasses of pteranodons
quetzals.
811
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,900
Die morphs intro pios that would
fit the description of the Van
812
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:36,900
Meter visitor to a tee.
If it were not for the
813
00:49:36,900 --> 00:49:40,700
self-illuminating light coming
out of its forehead, long beaks,
814
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:45,400
extreme bulk, when referencing
to us blunt horns on their
815
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,300
forearms known as crests, our
foreheads known as Crest vocals
816
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:53,900
thought to And like a loud
scream and The Reptilian body,
817
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:57,600
all have me thinking.
What if these these flying
818
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,200
reptiles had self-illuminating
lights coming out of their
819
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,800
forehead?
Could we really eliminate that
820
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,700
as a possibility?
Lastly, let's dive into the old
821
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:10,100
forgotten, run down, coal mine.
That was the Hub of two decades
822
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:13,200
prior to the visitors.
Visit I know it is a little bit
823
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,100
science fiction e.
But what if a creature long lost
824
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:18,100
to the underground's of the
earth were trapped away
825
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:22,500
underground in large Caverns,
one way it would adapt for
826
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:26,000
survival, would be to create a
form of bioluminescence, just
827
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,700
like the life forms at the
bottom of the deepest darkest
828
00:50:28,700 --> 00:50:31,200
parts of the ocean.
What if a population of
829
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,800
pteranodon work were to be
caught underground for
830
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,200
centuries.
Would they not smell like the
831
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:41,200
sulfur that is found around and
in natural deposits of coal?
832
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:45,700
Yes it's a bit science fiction e
as I said but can we really
833
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:49,700
count it out?
Now we can't.
834
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:54,400
I think that's my favorite.
Favorite theory of Mall.
835
00:50:54,700 --> 00:50:57,200
What the last one.
Yeah I'm driving with that one.
836
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,300
The most.
Yeah I just seems like the most
837
00:51:00,300 --> 00:51:02,700
entertaining and coolest one of
me.
838
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:05,700
Yeah, I like that.
Well.
839
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,100
Jeff, you look like you're
thinking.
840
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:13,500
You stink.
Yeah.
841
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:17,300
Sorry thinking listen and
multitasking Rosen.
842
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:24,700
I don't know man.
The only thing really It seems
843
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,200
like the the bioluminescent
thing is like the thing.
844
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,900
That's The most impossible but
it's really not.
845
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,400
I guess, the more I think about
it.
846
00:51:34,900 --> 00:51:39,800
I just depends on how strong
right bioluminescence in
847
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:43,000
creatures that are not in the
deepest.
848
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,500
Parts of the ocean are not that
bright, you know, and it's
849
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:51,600
mostly used as a warning, not
necessarily used for offensive
850
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,200
thing, more defensive thing.
Well, my, I'm kind of thinking
851
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,900
that but also like, what, Jake
brought up, right?
852
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,000
If it's in a mind, they could
Accidentally opened up into a
853
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,700
cavern system, right?
That's just been cut off from
854
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:08,800
the surface forever, you know.
So like it's possible that
855
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,200
something existed down there and
it has some form of
856
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,000
bioluminescence that we're just
not aware of, you know, and it's
857
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,600
some weird reptile or, you know,
mammal creature or something,
858
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,200
you know what I mean?
Like, yeah, it's possible.
859
00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:25,700
It's possible.
Still think it's probably
860
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:29,300
bullshit.
Yeah.
861
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:35,100
I I agree actually, but I think,
you know to what Jeremy said.
862
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,900
You know, we see these fish at
the bottom of the ocean and
863
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:42,000
stuff and the, the
bioluminescence isn't You know,
864
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:47,100
amazingly strong.
But in an area where there's
865
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:51,800
absolutely no light it's like a
it's like a star sticker on a
866
00:52:51,900 --> 00:52:54,900
young kid ceiling where it, you
know, it glows in the dark and
867
00:52:54,900 --> 00:52:58,100
stuff like that.
If you turn on the lights, it's
868
00:52:58,100 --> 00:53:00,500
still glowing.
It just not very you can't
869
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:03,800
really even see it until you
completely shut out all the
870
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,300
lights and then you could put
picking out a room, it's the
871
00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:10,800
brightest thing, right?
Obviously, but I mean, maybe
872
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,300
that there's a reason why this
thing Was seen at night and it
873
00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:19,500
was noticed that it had this big
glowing spot on its head.
874
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:23,100
Maybe it was for you know,
defensive situations or
875
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:25,600
something like that, not
necessarily so that it could
876
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,800
see.
And that would also make sense
877
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:33,200
why you know the maybe I just
kind of zoned out but I think
878
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,000
Jeremy you said that all the
incidents happened at night.
879
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:39,900
Yes.
So it's nocturnal because that's
880
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,700
what it's used to.
Maybe the light in the daytime
881
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:44,300
is too bright.
Right for it.
882
00:53:45,500 --> 00:53:49,500
So it acts like most animals
that lives living caves right,
883
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:52,500
where it comes out at night,
specifically bats, right?
884
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:59,600
In this circumstance.
But yeah, I mean, especially in
885
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:04,500
1900 1910 1903 and all those
1900's.
886
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:07,100
It's not like they had, you
know, City Lights.
887
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:11,100
Like we do.
We have all kinds of what's it
888
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:13,400
called when you're trying to
look at the stars and it's all,
889
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,900
you know, deafened by how bright
it is, like the ocean, the light
890
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:19,600
pollution, thank you.
So, you know, it would be more
891
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,600
or less.
The sun's going down, it's time
892
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,500
to go to bed, you know.
Maybe we have a couple lights on
893
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:29,300
in the house or something like
that, I don't really know when
894
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:33,200
the popularity of electricity
kind of came full swing to wear
895
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,700
smaller towns like that would
have had electricity.
896
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:41,300
But yeah, I mean but I'm sure it
was expensive and all kinds of
897
00:54:41,308 --> 00:54:44,400
stuff so I mean I don't know
it's lined up for me man.
898
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:51,700
It's not still not striking a
huge blow to Nothing that I
899
00:54:51,700 --> 00:54:55,800
stand behind and even still the
the topic of Hollow Earth.
900
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:58,400
You know what?
I just found out recently which
901
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,300
I probably should have known
already during the biblical fret
902
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:04,700
flood.
Where did the water come from?
903
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:08,700
Check Russian was on the ground.
That's it.
904
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:11,800
It came from underground.
The Earth cracked open in the
905
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,300
flood waters.
Came from underground.
906
00:55:13,300 --> 00:55:18,400
It was raining for 40 days but
the W floodwaters came from
907
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,800
underground.
So then what populated those
908
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,400
Hollow voids or is there more to
that?
909
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,800
And it was just like you know,
the rivers and lakes and oceans
910
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,500
underground.
So even still I think that this
911
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:34,000
is awesome.
The cool topic, you know,
912
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,500
because this is most of the As
we talked about with the
913
00:55:36,508 --> 00:55:39,400
exception, like Bigfoot, I'm
just like, this is ridiculous.
914
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,500
This is crap.
You know, all the sort of stuff.
915
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:46,400
This one's the most likely in my
mind, that it could be a thing,
916
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,700
especially since it's not a
little bit of this, and a little
917
00:55:49,700 --> 00:55:52,400
bit of that, it's not the Jersey
Devil where it's like, multiple
918
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,000
things combine to one.
It's not the Mothman.
919
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,200
It's not all these sorts of
things.
920
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:02,900
It in my mind has a pretty good
description of it.
921
00:56:03,300 --> 00:56:05,800
And you know, maybe the
description was Soph.
922
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,500
It's not a beam of light.
It was just a spot of light but
923
00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:11,100
even still.
That would have been incredibly
924
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:14,500
weird even today to see an
animal that would have something
925
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:16,300
like that.
You know, some form of
926
00:56:16,300 --> 00:56:19,600
bioluminescence of it was
glowing or projecting light.
927
00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:23,400
You know, you might say it was
the same thing because I guess
928
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,600
glowing could be projecting
light, but maybe not spotlight.
929
00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:31,300
All right, I think we're good.
I was just gonna say there's
930
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:34,000
over a thousand caves in Iowa
apparently to.
931
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,500
So, yeah, I mean it was known
for its coal mining, man, I'm
932
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,500
digging the hollow Earth idea to
I went up again.
933
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:47,300
Like there's I think we've
mentioned it on the show before
934
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,900
Jeff brought it up.
There's right Stingrays and
935
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:53,400
whatnot that come from these
underground.
936
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,600
Oceans and through different
caverns and what not I I
937
00:56:57,700 --> 00:57:00,300
Surprised if there's something
in a cave, too.
938
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,600
We pretty cool.
So, here goes the question.
939
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,900
Do we want to make this a long
episode or do we want to make it
940
00:57:06,900 --> 00:57:10,700
too?
We want to make it too because
941
00:57:10,700 --> 00:57:12,200
we're going to record them both
tonight then.
942
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,500
Whoa.
Hold on, bro.
943
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,300
I got, I got three pages left.
We can make this a long long
944
00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:19,100
episode.
Then.
945
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:21,000
All right, here we go.
Ready?
946
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:23,500
Yeah, I don't want to talk,
okay.
947
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:29,300
All right, all right, all right,
rebuttals on October 5th, 1903.
948
00:57:29,300 --> 00:57:31,400
And article is ran by the Des
Moines.
949
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,300
Daily News, the same paper that
ran the articles by h.h.
950
00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:40,100
Phillips, covering the events in
fan m in his new article that
951
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:43,300
came out a day later than
Phillips last article and
952
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:48,300
Anonymous freelance writer.
Submitted a rebuttal piece of
953
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:51,800
newspaper.
In this short writing the author
954
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,600
describes how Phillips
over-exaggerated the claims of
955
00:57:54,607 --> 00:57:58,200
what was happening in Van Meter.
The author did however, admit
956
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,600
that there were lights and
strange noises scaring the crap
957
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,000
out.
Out of people and mr.
958
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,800
Dunn did shoot the window out of
the bank after being startled
959
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,900
while on guard.
But all these issues were being
960
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:12,400
caused by some sort of robber or
prankster.
961
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:14,700
Now, let's look at this for a
minute.
962
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,800
I would assume that whoever
wrote, this was from Van Meter
963
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:22,000
that I do believe, but to think
this was all done by a person or
964
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,800
group of people who planned on
committing nefarious, acts might
965
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,500
be a stretch.
If this was someone out to take
966
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:33,500
advantage of the town, then they
sure got shot at a lot.
967
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,500
This seems to be true as the
mysterious author.
968
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:40,600
Did mention the use of guns you
would think that after the first
969
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,400
few, they would get the hint
when you take this into
970
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,300
consideration and then add that
mitt that when mr.
971
00:58:47,300 --> 00:58:52,500
Dunn fired, his shotgun Point
Blank out the window at a figure
972
00:58:52,500 --> 00:58:56,500
shining a light atom and how
there was no signs of injury to
973
00:58:56,500 --> 00:58:59,000
be.
And the next day I start to feel
974
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,900
less convinced.
I mean, have you ever seen a
975
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:04,900
human bleed?
We bleed a lot and it doesn't
976
00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:07,600
take much.
You would think that anyone on
977
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,300
the other side of that window
pane that just got blasted by a
978
00:59:10,308 --> 00:59:13,300
shotgun would have a minimum
been cut by glass.
979
00:59:13,700 --> 00:59:17,800
The signs of blood droplets
would be noticeable a day later.
980
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,000
Another article was published
but this time the Des Moines
981
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,300
daily Capital stating again that
this was a hoax brought on by
982
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:28,300
Phillips.
Now, a To reading this article,
983
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,500
I would say this is more an
article from The View Point
984
00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:36,400
outside of Van Meter than that
is writing to dismiss what they
985
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,900
feel is crazy and unbelievable
nonsense, the opinion by many is
986
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:44,000
that these two articles are from
the same author, but I honestly
987
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,900
disagree.
The writing style is different.
988
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:51,600
The mannerisms used very and the
Viewpoint certainly does not
989
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,400
seem like it came from someone
inside Ground Zero.
990
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,800
Personally, I do not put a lot
of weight.
991
00:59:56,900 --> 01:00:00,600
Into these articles you may but
I don't eyewitness people
992
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,400
everyday unable to see the
truth.
993
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,300
Even if it's right in front of
their eyes.
994
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,300
The first article could have
been written by a person from
995
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:10,100
Van Meter that stayed in their
house during these three days or
996
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:13,000
someone who was a Hermit,
believe it or not, this happens,
997
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:16,000
some people just don't talk to
other people and miss out on
998
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,400
news from the community.
Both, a good thing and a Bad
999
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,500
Thing depending on what
specifically is being talked
1000
01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:22,200
about.
Then some people remain
1001
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,900
oblivious to everything going
on.
1002
01:00:25,100 --> 01:00:26,900
All right, guys, what do you
guys think about the two?
1003
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,100
Kohl's.
I'm not a fan.
1004
01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:38,500
It sounds like just not how I
was going to say.
1005
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:39,600
Hate speech.
It doesn't sound like hate
1006
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,500
speech.
It sounds like just hating on
1007
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:44,300
the story.
Yeah.
1008
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:47,000
Just like someone who just be
like this is dumb.
1009
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,100
This didn't happen.
You know, people do that shit
1010
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,200
too.
And like I read the articles,
1011
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,300
the book has the Articles and I
didn't want to read the whole
1012
01:00:56,300 --> 01:01:01,100
oracle's Jeff would freaking die
of exhaustion by the time I'm
1013
01:01:01,100 --> 01:01:03,400
done with them so summarizing
it.
1014
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,600
The first one sounds like it
came from somebody in Van Meter
1015
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,600
like they were able to talk
about certain things, certain
1016
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,900
events and go a little bit more
into detail about those events
1017
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,100
none of which is like really
took away from the fact that
1018
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:21,200
this could be a creature.
I think.
1019
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:24,000
That this was a situation where
that person was just used to
1020
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,200
having people come into town,
that were little shady and, you
1021
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,400
know, bank robberies, and the
old Wild Wild West was probably
1022
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:36,200
still thing back there in 1903.
So I think that's just, you
1023
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,900
know, somebody was comfortable
with the idea of this, not being
1024
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:42,400
some crazy creepy monster.
And then the other article was
1025
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,100
just fucking useless.
It was absolutely stupid.
1026
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:48,100
It was definitely not somebody
from Van Meter.
1027
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,400
So, basically, the first one
could have been, you know,
1028
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,300
someone trying to put the story
to bed so that people would stop
1029
01:01:55,300 --> 01:01:57,700
coming over and trying to
investigate themselves.
1030
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,100
That's true to that.
Could, that could be there could
1031
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:03,200
have been a good chunk of people
that want to go over there with
1032
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,500
guns one to kill themselves
monster.
1033
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,500
I thought it was just the guy
trying to write the story away
1034
01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:13,000
and Explain it somehow.
Hmm.
1035
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,400
I like I like Jake's point of
view.
1036
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,700
I didn't think of that that
could definitely have been the
1037
01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:18,500
reason.
What do you think?
1038
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:22,300
Jeff, you hate this story.
Don't, you know, I hate the
1039
01:02:22,300 --> 01:02:24,000
story.
It's just like this part.
1040
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,600
The killer, it looks like it's
like, let's write an article.
1041
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,500
Let's let's do a podcast about
an article that's about an
1042
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:38,100
article.
Okay, I get it, I get it.
1043
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:40,400
What would you call these
Cryptids?
1044
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,400
The other day Pokemon.
Like you're doing another
1045
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,200
Pokemon episode.
I'll just sit out you fucker.
1046
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:52,000
You'd rather do an episode on a
paper.
1047
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,900
Reporting on a research paper
that someone did that, we have
1048
01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:57,600
no idea who it was.
Yeah, yeah.
1049
01:02:58,700 --> 01:03:00,600
A big deal.
Same stuff but different.
1050
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,600
Same same but different?
Yeah, same same, but different
1051
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:15,700
I'm just saying we I'm sure
about a thousand articles.
1052
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:18,100
Yeah.
All right, let's move on.
1053
01:03:18,100 --> 01:03:19,900
Let's get Jeff the bed.
He's getting cranky.
1054
01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:25,000
I love you, Jeff.
You're good people for Jeffrey.
1055
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,200
All right, misidentification of
known animals.
1056
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:30,900
The first thing that comes to
mind is a person who believes
1057
01:03:30,900 --> 01:03:33,600
in.
Occam's razor is that this was a
1058
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,100
simple case in this
identification.
1059
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:37,600
You better?
Hold on, it's not that easy.
1060
01:03:38,100 --> 01:03:39,500
What do we know about this
creature?
1061
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,500
That we haven't already gone
over?
1062
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,900
How about the way it moves?
If we look at two moot moments
1063
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:49,100
in these encounters, with the
visitor, we see two very
1064
01:03:49,100 --> 01:03:52,100
specific forms of motion the way
it came down.
1065
01:03:52,100 --> 01:03:54,900
The telephone pole, like a
parrot, and a way it ran on all
1066
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:58,800
fours before flying away.
Let's look at the former first.
1067
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:01,600
There is nothing.
The size reported for the
1068
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,400
creature from Van Meter in the
present world that uses its
1069
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,100
mouth to climb down a pole or
tree or anything the parent
1070
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:11,300
does.
But they dwarf this Beast,
1071
01:04:11,300 --> 01:04:15,100
incredibly and I would find it
very hard for anyone to
1072
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:19,400
misidentifying 8 to 12-inch
parrot with an 8-foot Van Meter
1073
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,900
visitor.
So let's look at the letter the
1074
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,700
the way it moved.
Now only one person saw this
1075
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:29,000
thing.
Take off after getting down from
1076
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,600
the pole and that was Sidney
Greg.
1077
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,000
Now, remember mr.
White sauce on the pole, but
1078
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,100
after the smell arrived, he was
battling other issues.
1079
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,100
Couldn't focus but let's first
assume that mr.
1080
01:04:38,100 --> 01:04:41,000
Greg was right and it did run on
all fours.
1081
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,300
My first question would be
worthy arms attached through
1082
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:48,500
Wing like that of a bat or were
these separate appendages
1083
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,300
completely independent of ways.
Animals with wings and four
1084
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:57,000
appendages, do not exist.
That we know of the only way
1085
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,500
they do is in very small flying
lizards, which don't fly but
1086
01:05:00,500 --> 01:05:03,600
rather Glide and in the world of
dragons and Griffin's.
1087
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:07,500
So Ethically, I don't think that
would be the case.
1088
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,700
So, let's look at animals that
have their arms and wings
1089
01:05:10,700 --> 01:05:14,700
combined, like, birds, and bats.
Then, let's see who runs on all
1090
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:16,800
fours, and we are left with
bats.
1091
01:05:18,700 --> 01:05:21,700
Birds just don't use their wings
as a tool for ground movement.
1092
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,300
But is there a bat that can fit
into the other characteristics
1093
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:29,100
of the Van Meter visitor?
Know, there just isn't, they are
1094
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:32,000
either too small furry, no light
Illuminating from their head and
1095
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,700
they don't use their mouths as a
way to get down telephone poles.
1096
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,700
So, my answer to this question,
could this be a case of
1097
01:05:37,707 --> 01:05:44,600
misidentification of a known
animal is simply just know My
1098
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:49,000
only argument is there are bats
with wingspans up to six feet
1099
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:52,600
and there could have been a
maybe a bigger bat at that time.
1100
01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:56,400
So do you know the rule of
winged creature?
1101
01:05:57,500 --> 01:06:00,500
You know, the rules.
So if this thing was standing
1102
01:06:00,500 --> 01:06:05,000
eight feet tall like mr.
Greg was saying that it stood
1103
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,100
its, its wing size could have
easily been 30 feet?
1104
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,300
Oh yeah, that that I understand.
Excuse me.
1105
01:06:12,300 --> 01:06:15,600
Sorry, that I understand.
And but like I'm just saying
1106
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,800
maybe it was a bat species.
That was around, then that isn't
1107
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,500
around now that we didn't know
about maybe that was just doing
1108
01:06:22,500 --> 01:06:26,200
some weird shit on the telephone
pole, okay.
1109
01:06:26,300 --> 01:06:30,700
It did say that this was, you
know, the high school teacher
1110
01:06:30,700 --> 01:06:33,600
did say that this was probably
an animal that was from before
1111
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,400
there was pre-flood.
And you know as far as we know
1112
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:43,800
there was megafauna pre-flood.
So could there have been Bats,
1113
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:48,000
that were much, much bigger.
I mean, sure, but same time.
1114
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:51,600
I think that they would be
pretty much like the bats we
1115
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:58,300
have now which still the bats we
have now don't really run on all
1116
01:06:58,300 --> 01:07:02,600
fours.
Their joints aren't really
1117
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:09,900
shaped that way in their legs
but even still, I think maybe
1118
01:07:09,900 --> 01:07:12,300
some of them stand.
I'm not 100% sure on this.
1119
01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:13,900
I've seen some pictures of
little flying.
1120
01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:16,900
Foxes that Ken's are was talking
about, so I actually water like
1121
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:20,500
an app ton of.
Videos about bats motion on
1122
01:07:20,500 --> 01:07:23,100
ground.
Yeah, a lot of them, a lot of
1123
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:26,800
them, if not all the ones I saw
move just like a wyvern would
1124
01:07:26,900 --> 01:07:30,300
like from Mark really?
It's like, oh yeah, that's
1125
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:32,100
where.
That's where art got that
1126
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:38,100
movement from, No Doubt.
Okay, but my killer for bats
1127
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,000
one, they don't have a long as
beak.
1128
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,300
Like this thing.
Did everybody who saw it, right?
1129
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:47,100
Basically described it as having
a very large, be course now or
1130
01:07:47,100 --> 01:07:49,600
whatever it is.
They use, they have like these
1131
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,200
flat faces.
Now, you have that foxbat, you
1132
01:07:52,207 --> 01:07:54,700
know, really big one.
Yeah, I don't know.
1133
01:07:54,700 --> 01:07:57,000
It's exact name.
But face looks like a fox and
1134
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,400
it's got a little bit of a
snout.
1135
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,700
That's the only one.
But I mean even then it's only
1136
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:03,400
like, four inches.
It's not long.
1137
01:08:03,900 --> 01:08:07,900
Yeah, I'm not.
I'm also not leaning towards a
1138
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:13,600
mistaken identity.
I don't You know, I'm leaning
1139
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,600
towards the tarragon or
something like it because
1140
01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:22,300
truthfully we do know that
parrots do that you know they
1141
01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:24,800
use their beak and they kind of
grab and they shift their legs
1142
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,200
down and they grab further down
in the ship, their legs down and
1143
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,600
stuff like that.
Who knows what sort of other
1144
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:35,800
animals that used to exist?
You know, Put that in quotes if
1145
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:41,600
you want that also did that with
their you know, beaks or their
1146
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,200
mouths.
It's hard to say.
1147
01:08:44,700 --> 01:08:49,500
But yeah I'm definitely on board
with this being of being a
1148
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:55,399
flipping which McCullough do you
know giant flying reptile.
1149
01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:58,899
That didn't go extinct.
You know?
1150
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:03,100
Yeah, I don't know she's cool
hates these Toppers.
1151
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,200
You can see it in his face was
not the Cryptid guy always
1152
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,600
actually I'm just looking at
different lizards because I
1153
01:09:09,608 --> 01:09:13,200
think if anything would be a
lizard it wouldn't be a bat
1154
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,800
reptile and that's what I don't
know.
1155
01:09:16,300 --> 01:09:19,500
President weird cave reptile, it
doesn't ever see the light of
1156
01:09:19,500 --> 01:09:23,399
day and they just happen to pawn
it on accident.
1157
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,100
Yeah, yeah.
But the biggest reptiles we have
1158
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:27,500
on Earth.
Don't fly.
1159
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:31,300
But, you know, it doesn't mean
that that couldn't happen,
1160
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:32,800
right.
I mean, like Jeremy was saying
1161
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,899
there are these lizards I'm
looking at him right here.
1162
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:36,600
You know that?
Well they Glide.
1163
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:42,600
Yeah, that Glide right.
So I mean you could have one of
1164
01:09:42,608 --> 01:09:46,500
these like I said living in a
cave just totally cut off from
1165
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:48,700
the rest of evolution if you
will.
1166
01:09:48,700 --> 01:09:56,400
And Maybe like, I actually
watched a little thing about the
1167
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,600
Komodo dragon.
And that the reason why they
1168
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,900
look so bumpy is because those
are bone protrusions all over
1169
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:08,300
its body, that act like some
sort of a, you know, a shield,
1170
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,300
right?
So I don't know.
1171
01:10:10,300 --> 01:10:12,400
Let's talk about Jeff's Point.
What if there were something?
1172
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,900
The size of one of those things,
which they are the size of
1173
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:18,800
alligators.
They're huge and they can run
1174
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,200
pretty, dang fast.
You can actually get Chase down
1175
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,700
by one and then, you know, get
your arms ripped off, but but it
1176
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:30,800
has a, it can glide, right?
It has those flaps of skin and
1177
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,300
its sides that protrude out.
That allow it to Glide.
1178
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:36,800
If that was the case, then it
would certainly have to have a
1179
01:10:36,808 --> 01:10:40,700
running start in order to make
that Glide possible.
1180
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,700
Yeah.
Which I would think that the
1181
01:10:44,700 --> 01:10:47,700
description would be different
but that would, you know,
1182
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:51,600
certainly land claim to it,
doing that sort of stuff.
1183
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,500
But again, I don't know if those
things.
1184
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,700
Well they do climb.
I've definitely seen ones like
1185
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:00,400
up higher than they should be
like on top of cabinets and
1186
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,500
stuff but I don't know.
Interesting, are you guys ready
1187
01:11:04,500 --> 01:11:08,400
to move on to my next option?
I'll I got to two paragraphs
1188
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,900
left Jeff.
So that's good for you and I
1189
01:11:10,900 --> 01:11:13,600
think you're going to like these
to these are more up the last
1190
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,400
ones up Jeff's wheelhouse this
one Jeff Jeff will deal with
1191
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:18,800
this.
You'll like this one.
1192
01:11:20,300 --> 01:11:24,900
How about he's in their book.
Louis Voss and Nelson touch on
1193
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:26,700
the subject of
extraterrestrials.
1194
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:29,000
And I think this is a very
important topic to talk about
1195
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,900
with the Van Meter visitor.
First, let's look at the light
1196
01:11:32,900 --> 01:11:37,300
orbs, white lights, and
mysterious flashes have been
1197
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:40,600
associated with abduction, and
Alien Encounter, since recorded
1198
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,200
history on the subject, lights
are so common.
1199
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:47,300
That I cannot even come up with
one single encounter, where a
1200
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:51,200
light, whether it seemed to move
independently, or was attached
1201
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,600
to some UFO sorts, but what
about the Caption the creature
1202
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:59,500
one subject that I need to stop
putting aside is the idea of
1203
01:11:59,500 --> 01:12:02,500
screen memories.
As I reported in many other
1204
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:06,000
episodes, a screen memory can be
one of two things, it could be a
1205
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,900
false memory, put into place by
a being such as an
1206
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:12,000
extraterrestrial to cover up
certain important details of
1207
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,500
their devious acts.
This is commonly an owl or other
1208
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:19,400
Woodland Critters like dear
squirrel or a scream member can
1209
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,200
also be self-induced.
This means that you can witness
1210
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,500
something so crazy that your
mind.
1211
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,000
Early blocks it from your from
you witnessing it, and replaces
1212
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,500
the image in your memory with
something else.
1213
01:12:31,100 --> 01:12:35,100
Both have been extensively
studied and both seem very
1214
01:12:35,100 --> 01:12:38,000
plausible.
Another aspect that comes.
1215
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,100
That comes common with alien
encounters, is the smell of
1216
01:12:41,100 --> 01:12:46,400
sulfur in the outline of events.
A terrible smell was mentioned a
1217
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,100
few times by different people.
People who have undergone
1218
01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:53,900
hypnotherapy are other
regressive memory techniques and
1219
01:12:53,900 --> 01:12:56,900
have reportedly uncovered, a
hidden alien abduction event in
1220
01:12:56,900 --> 01:12:59,900
their lives.
Often described a putrid smell
1221
01:13:00,100 --> 01:13:03,600
just before and after the
encounter, this is often thought
1222
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,900
to be the way that whatever
these things are that are
1223
01:13:06,900 --> 01:13:10,300
abducting us knock us out before
taking us to whatever.
1224
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:13,200
Wherever and whatever they do to
us.
1225
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:16,900
Oh, V white, who was the man,
who fell asleep in the room
1226
01:13:16,900 --> 01:13:18,700
above his store.
And first saw the creature on
1227
01:13:18,708 --> 01:13:22,000
top of the telephone pole
described after shooting at it,
1228
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,000
that there was an intense smell
that overcame him and Confused
1229
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,200
him.
Could this be the same smell?
1230
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,000
That is associated with
extraterrestrial contact?
1231
01:13:31,100 --> 01:13:33,900
Could this be why every time
someone shot at the thing?
1232
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,400
It didn't faze it at all.
Could it have actually bent?
1233
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,700
Could it have actually been
there?
1234
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Or was it just a A physical
memory place there to cover up
1235
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,900
the actual image of the glowing
orb commonly associated with
1236
01:13:46,900 --> 01:13:50,200
alien abduction stories.
I love this possibility, and I
1237
01:13:50,208 --> 01:13:52,600
believe that it could really
hold some weight here.
1238
01:13:55,100 --> 01:13:59,100
Not a chance.
Are you calling Whitley strieber
1239
01:13:59,100 --> 01:14:02,000
a liar?
Because he smelt cardboard and
1240
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,000
cinnamon.
He did all that that was during
1241
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:10,400
the encounter.
But I mean, not all alien.
1242
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:11,900
Abduction.
Stories is like Whitley
1243
01:14:11,900 --> 01:14:14,100
streamers.
That it's a very unique one.
1244
01:14:14,500 --> 01:14:19,100
It is very very funny.
I really liked him in the least.
1245
01:14:20,300 --> 01:14:22,800
Yeah.
Jeffrey.
1246
01:14:22,900 --> 01:14:24,900
And you think Buddy.
Nah dude.
1247
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:30,500
I mean, if extraterrestrials are
real, and they are coming here
1248
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:33,300
from across the Galaxy, or
whatever the universe, like
1249
01:14:33,300 --> 01:14:38,100
they're not coming in that form.
They're not coming in a form in
1250
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:43,200
the form of a freaking Dragon.
Know they were coming as an orb
1251
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:47,100
guy or I was in or okay.
Maybe maybe.
1252
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,700
What about just like that movie
future War?
1253
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,000
I just watched it again the
other day.
1254
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,900
Where they were passengers on
the alien spacecraft that
1255
01:14:53,900 --> 01:14:57,900
crashed here and somehow got way
down deep underground.
1256
01:14:58,100 --> 01:15:00,600
And then through coal mining,
they released it from the ship.
1257
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,400
Future war.
Huh, could be.
1258
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,400
Yeah, I can guess your watch
that.
1259
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:06,900
Yeah, he should.
It's awesome.
1260
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:11,200
Honestly though, man.
Like the erasing of History
1261
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,500
around that time around the turn
of the century, right?
1262
01:15:14,500 --> 01:15:17,500
Like that, in my mind is playing
a big part in all of this shit,
1263
01:15:17,500 --> 01:15:19,900
right?
Any of these stories that we
1264
01:15:19,900 --> 01:15:24,100
find and that time period, I'm
automatically like, yo, what did
1265
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:26,100
they erase that have to do with
this?
1266
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:30,200
Because if you go deep enough
into like the mud floods and in
1267
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:34,400
the you know, tutorial and all
that shit, you'll realize like
1268
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:35,900
you know, right at the turn of
the century dude.
1269
01:15:35,900 --> 01:15:37,800
Everything that we thought we
knew like we don't even know
1270
01:15:37,808 --> 01:15:40,100
what year it is.
Like we think it's 2023, it's
1271
01:15:40,100 --> 01:15:46,200
probably not it's probably like
10 23, you know, like crazy shit
1272
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,900
so.
Well Jeff, you always talk
1273
01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:52,700
about, you know, whenever
someone brings up
1274
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,200
extraterrestrials, you say,
well, yeah, extra Tara.
1275
01:15:56,900 --> 01:16:00,000
Right, right?
So, could these things be from
1276
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:04,000
on the other side, the ice wall,
if it's really quiet and there
1277
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,000
is land beyond the eyes making
sure they can be there.
1278
01:16:07,300 --> 01:16:09,700
The can talk about that in
relation to the hollow Earth and
1279
01:16:09,700 --> 01:16:11,500
stuff, you know.
Yeah.
1280
01:16:11,500 --> 01:16:17,300
All those things apply mean.
That out not a chance of.
1281
01:16:17,300 --> 01:16:18,800
They're aliens though.
All right.
1282
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,800
I just there's so many more
possibilities.
1283
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,500
Did that you jump that these
beings came from across the
1284
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:26,800
universe?
Like, I'm just like, dude,
1285
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,900
there's so many other things
that could, that are more
1286
01:16:28,900 --> 01:16:31,100
realistic than.
Are they flew across the
1287
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:32,200
universe?
All right.
1288
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:37,000
Yeah, duh yeah.
Dumbass however, use their light
1289
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,200
to illuminate their way through
the Blackness of space, then
1290
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,700
they probably would be orbs of
light.
1291
01:16:42,700 --> 01:16:45,500
If you can travel the universe,
you probably would be light.
1292
01:16:45,500 --> 01:16:50,300
So I'm With that, I don't know.
What about Ultra terrestrial
1293
01:16:50,300 --> 01:16:54,800
Chef like time.
That's my next section.
1294
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,500
You ready?
All right, Ultra terrestrials
1295
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:01,900
last one.
All right, while we are on the
1296
01:17:01,900 --> 01:17:04,500
subject of lights and the
unknown.
1297
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,400
I feel like I should point out
the abundance of Lights
1298
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,000
associated with, not only
ghosts, the orbs alien
1299
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,400
abductions, UFO, sightings and
yes, even Bigfoot encounters.
1300
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,200
But rather the Ones associated
with another being one.
1301
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:22,300
That lives in the land Fringe of
our existence and between the
1302
01:17:22,308 --> 01:17:26,500
physical and spiritual Realms.
The one that live in another, in
1303
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:30,500
perceivable, dimension to
humanize, alter terrestrials are
1304
01:17:30,500 --> 01:17:35,400
the one Topic in 40 and topics
that we know the least amount
1305
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:40,200
least about and the best sources
of information on these beings
1306
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,500
are through the works of John
Keel and Jacques Vallee.
1307
01:17:44,500 --> 01:17:48,900
You pronounced it right?
Jacques Vallee these Ultra
1308
01:17:48,900 --> 01:17:52,300
terrestrials come in.
All different shapes and sizes.
1309
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,100
Why is that?
Nobody knows.
1310
01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:58,100
But the best guess is come from.
How the witnesses perceive?
1311
01:17:58,100 --> 01:18:00,800
Or how they wish to be perceived
by the witness.
1312
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:04,800
And just like all other topics
of the unknown, they are often
1313
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,800
accompanied by various forms of
light for a very, and I mean,
1314
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,500
very brief moment.
I will touch on them as it
1315
01:18:11,500 --> 01:18:15,700
Associates with the van visitor,
from Van Meter, Everything else
1316
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:18,000
will be saved for future
episode, where we dive into
1317
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,800
subject on its own in the
future.
1318
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,300
First thing, I would like to
point out is the sound that this
1319
01:18:24,300 --> 01:18:27,100
creature made.
It was described as a scream or
1320
01:18:27,100 --> 01:18:31,500
drawn-out, high-pitched howl.
Now, since all three
1321
01:18:31,500 --> 01:18:35,300
terrestrials, as defined by John
Keel live in a dimension without
1322
01:18:35,300 --> 01:18:39,100
time, they communicate in ways
that we cannot perceive and when
1323
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,300
they speak or make sounds, they
end up doing.
1324
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:44,600
So in a way, that sounds very
weird to the human ear They
1325
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,600
attempt to slow down their
voice, which ends up coming out
1326
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,600
as a screeching sound.
Mixed with very fast paced
1327
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,700
speech in a language.
We can understand this has been
1328
01:18:53,700 --> 01:18:55,900
described in encounters with
gray aliens.
1329
01:18:55,900 --> 01:18:58,200
Spirits, Jin, disembodied,
voices.
1330
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,200
Yes even Bigfoot as well as
other forms of paranormal
1331
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,300
entities, he'll summarized it
like this, in his famous book,
1332
01:19:05,500 --> 01:19:10,400
The Mothman Prophecies quote,
their rapid fire unintelligible.
1333
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:14,400
Quote language, noted by
Witnesses all over the world as
1334
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:18,800
Being like a speeding up of a
phonograph record could be
1335
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,400
caused by their failure to
adjust to our time cycle.
1336
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:23,500
When they enter our space-time
Continuum.
1337
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:26,300
They are talking at a different
rate because their time is
1338
01:19:26,300 --> 01:19:28,900
different from ours.
When they managed to adjust,
1339
01:19:28,900 --> 01:19:32,300
they have to forcibly slow
themselves down articulating,
1340
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:34,800
their word slowly in a sing-song
manner.
1341
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,200
Now I would like to dive into
their form that they are seen
1342
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,300
in.
Well, specifically, the Van
1343
01:19:40,300 --> 01:19:43,300
Meter visitor, it is said that
the all terrestrials will show
1344
01:19:43,300 --> 01:19:47,500
themselves in forms that We can
comprehend think of what a being
1345
01:19:47,500 --> 01:19:52,400
from outside our Dimensions made
up of XYZ axis and time might
1346
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,500
look.
Like whatever you're thinking is
1347
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:58,200
most likely wrong before May
literally be something we cannot
1348
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,800
perceive.
And with these beings having the
1349
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,200
ability of visitors visiting our
Dimension, their physics may
1350
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:08,300
have to play along and the forms
that they take are thought to
1351
01:20:08,300 --> 01:20:10,500
derive directly from the
collective consciousness of
1352
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:14,200
those that witness them This
area of Iowa, in 1903 was
1353
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,800
heavily populated with German
immigrants and the fact alone
1354
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:22,300
brought some very interesting
finds that lu��s Vaz Nelson wrote
1355
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:26,200
about in their book.
The Van Meter visitor in summary
1356
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,100
like many cultures from around
the world, German folklore is
1357
01:20:30,100 --> 01:20:33,500
full of mysterious creatures.
And one said creature, is the
1358
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:37,500
Haber Geiss, which we touched
briefly on in our episode on the
1359
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:41,900
lore of Krampus as is part of
the Austrian law as well in the
1360
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:45,600
Times of pagans, this Haber
Gaius was known as a spirit of
1361
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,500
fields and crops and was called
up in Fall.
1362
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,500
As part of a celebration to
ensure a good harvest and the
1363
01:20:52,500 --> 01:20:55,800
description of this creature was
a man-sized bird with a blunt
1364
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,800
horn on its head.
It made strange sounds and ruled
1365
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:00,800
the dead of night.
Sound familiar.
1366
01:21:01,300 --> 01:21:04,200
What if the visitor was one of
these Ultra terrestrials which
1367
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,300
chose the physical description
of a Haber guys do to the
1368
01:21:07,300 --> 01:21:10,800
beliefs of the people that were
currently living in the area and
1369
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,100
to add just one more?
Or parallel, the visitors Terror
1370
01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:17,100
on Van Meter happened at the end
of September and at the
1371
01:21:17,108 --> 01:21:21,100
beginning of October, the same
timeframe that Pagan Germany
1372
01:21:21,300 --> 01:21:23,900
would be celebrating and
watching out for the Haver guys,
1373
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,700
still not convinced.
What if I were to tell you that
1374
01:21:26,700 --> 01:21:30,200
there was another aspect to
incidents involving supposed
1375
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,500
Ultra terrestrials.
The smell of sulfur.
1376
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,900
The smell that has been
described as fire and brimstone
1377
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,600
around Cemetery.
Guardian Spirits skunk Apes of
1378
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,700
Florida Grey Alien Encounter And
of course our flying monster and
1379
01:21:43,700 --> 01:21:44,800
Van Meter IA.
Iowa.
1380
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,000
That's enough on trestles for
today.
1381
01:21:48,500 --> 01:21:51,000
Maura come on a future episode
of infinite Ravenel.
1382
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:56,800
The end.
So you mean demons that project
1383
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:07,100
themselves as the cult gods of
pagans That's a very yes but
1384
01:22:07,100 --> 01:22:10,900
also much more than that, you
know what I'm saying?
1385
01:22:10,900 --> 01:22:17,600
That's a very like Simple way to
think about that.
1386
01:22:17,900 --> 01:22:19,300
And I don't mean that in an
offensive way.
1387
01:22:19,300 --> 01:22:21,700
I just mean like there is much
more to that.
1388
01:22:21,700 --> 01:22:23,900
Yes, I would say.
That's the Jinn.
1389
01:22:24,100 --> 01:22:26,300
That is the trickster.
We've talked about this before
1390
01:22:26,700 --> 01:22:29,300
so that actually makes a lot of
sense to me, right?
1391
01:22:29,300 --> 01:22:31,900
The demon, this this makes
sense.
1392
01:22:32,700 --> 01:22:34,100
I had a feeling you were going
to like that one.
1393
01:22:34,500 --> 01:22:37,700
Yeah.
That's it, guys.
1394
01:22:37,700 --> 01:22:40,000
That is all that I have about
the Van Meter visitor,
1395
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,700
everything that you can know
about it.
1396
01:22:41,700 --> 01:22:44,800
Everything every angle that I
can come up with has all been
1397
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,500
put on the table, that's it.
You know what this means, you
1398
01:22:48,508 --> 01:22:51,800
know, got to put in our bucket
list items that were going to go
1399
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,500
to.
I guess I can't get out of the
1400
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:57,200
pod cast yet, because we're
going to have to go to Iowa, to
1401
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,200
dig around in all the caves look
for bones.
1402
01:23:01,300 --> 01:23:04,100
Well, cycle suck, because you're
leaving.
1403
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:12,000
I'm telling you if I you know
what that means though, if I
1404
01:23:12,100 --> 01:23:16,200
take a camping trip to Northern
California again and I find any
1405
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,400
sort of Bigfoot track ways and
stuff like that, and find all
1406
01:23:18,407 --> 01:23:20,500
this evidence of them.
And I'm going to have to start
1407
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:24,000
my own show and thank you, tell
me and be like, oh, you said I
1408
01:23:24,008 --> 01:23:29,000
was done with the show.
So you said you were done with
1409
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:30,200
the show.
Yeah.
1410
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,400
And yeah, you guys firm didn't
kick me out.
1411
01:23:32,500 --> 01:23:34,500
Yeah, yeah.
You said I was fired.
1412
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,500
Come back.
Alright.
1413
01:23:36,500 --> 01:23:37,400
Final thoughts.
Kid.
1414
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,700
Let's go with you first since
you didn't talk much today?
1415
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,500
No, I didn't.
I was honestly quite enjoying
1416
01:23:43,500 --> 01:23:50,100
the story.
I honestly like the inner earth
1417
01:23:50,700 --> 01:23:56,200
being hollow Earth theory here
especially because it's a coal
1418
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,000
mining area.
There's lots of caves in the
1419
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,600
area.
It just in my mind.
1420
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:06,100
It just fits and it's it works.
So that's the one I'm going to
1421
01:24:06,108 --> 01:24:11,900
go with I dig it.
When them, let's go.
1422
01:24:11,900 --> 01:24:20,000
Jacob.
I am not going to say that it's
1423
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:26,700
not some cave-dwelling reptile
leaning more towards though,
1424
01:24:26,700 --> 01:24:34,600
that it more likely was maybe
one of five of just
1425
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,800
unextinguishable flying
reptiles.
1426
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:42,000
Not not necessarily that it came
from the hollow Earth, but maybe
1427
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,500
it just Resided in caves because
in the area is pretty flat or,
1428
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:48,700
you know, nothing really going
on.
1429
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,700
So in order to protect itself,
it would have lived in a cave
1430
01:24:51,700 --> 01:24:56,500
type system and then we have no
idea what dinosaurs, you know,
1431
01:24:56,700 --> 01:24:58,600
had on their, their bodies,
their skin.
1432
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:00,600
You know, what sort of stuff
would it look like with the
1433
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,500
exception of some that have been
discovered, that still have
1434
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:06,500
their skin, but it was more
like, you know, thick plates,
1435
01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:09,800
thick plated scales and stuff
like that where it actually
1436
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:14,000
survived their fault.
Ization and stuff.
1437
01:25:16,100 --> 01:25:19,000
Made it rot away till it's just
bones and it was covered with
1438
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:24,800
sand or whatever.
But yeah, I dig the story.
1439
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,900
I liked being able to, you know,
the way you broke it down and
1440
01:25:27,900 --> 01:25:31,100
being able to kind of just, you
know, talk out my thoughts and
1441
01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:34,900
try to get a handle on stuff.
But I certainly think that this
1442
01:25:35,500 --> 01:25:39,900
more than likely could have been
a real story.
1443
01:25:41,300 --> 01:25:44,600
You know, and that's pretty cool
now.
1444
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,600
Could it be 100% fake?
Sure.
1445
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:50,800
But you know, in regards to how
it was constructed, the
1446
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,400
description of the Beast and all
that sort of stuff.
1447
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,200
It certainly seems like it would
fit the description of a real
1448
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:00,200
animal.
Now, is that because as coal
1449
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:08,100
miners in 1903 in Iowa, they
uncovered the remains of a of a
1450
01:26:08,108 --> 01:26:11,200
teardown, you know.
And then Developed a story
1451
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,600
around, it could be right, could
it be?
1452
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,800
Because one Escape From The
Hollow Earth?
1453
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,900
I don't know, could be, you
know, I don't know.
1454
01:26:20,900 --> 01:26:25,000
I don't I don't really have a
handle on it, exactly where it
1455
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,200
came from or what it was but
certainly, it doesn't
1456
01:26:29,300 --> 01:26:31,000
immediately.
Check the blocks of this is
1457
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:35,800
made-up nonsense or folklore.
All right, Jeff.
1458
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:42,800
Final thoughts, interdimensional
Ultra terrestrials, you think
1459
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:48,900
so, probably or bullshit, Iowa
1903, it's either bullshit
1460
01:26:48,900 --> 01:26:53,500
because it's Iowa, 1903 or
interdimensional time traveling
1461
01:26:53,500 --> 01:26:57,500
Ultra terrestrial demons right
now.
1462
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:11,000
Just pick, pick everything D.
All of the above is complete,
1463
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:17,500
bullshit to dinner.
Was it extraterrestrial.
1464
01:27:17,500 --> 01:27:21,400
Altered terrestrial in the
dimensional time traveling.
1465
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:25,400
Traveling, Ultra terrestrial
demons, wharves, and traveled
1466
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,800
across the universe from the
hollow Earth.
1467
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:36,900
Earth.
Pre-flood, my final thoughts.
1468
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:42,000
This is one of my absolute
favorites when it comes to a
1469
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:47,300
creature in the United States.
This is just a fantastic urban
1470
01:27:47,300 --> 01:27:50,300
legend.
I don't know if it's true.
1471
01:27:50,300 --> 01:27:53,600
I think that this one definitely
has a really good chance of
1472
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,100
being true.
I love it.
1473
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:58,800
I think that it's great.
The only That bothers me is the
1474
01:27:58,808 --> 01:28:00,100
light on the forehead, that's
it.
1475
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:01,800
Everything else?
Like if the light in the
1476
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,300
forehead wasn't a thing, I'd be
like, dude, this was a trend on
1477
01:28:04,700 --> 01:28:08,500
this was like somehow this thing
lived.
1478
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:12,400
I mean, if you look right now
there are some pictures online
1479
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:16,600
of like old western guys holding
up dead pteranodons, right?
1480
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:21,000
And I want to say, most of them
are probably fake, probably.
1481
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,400
Who knows?
One of them out there out of the
1482
01:28:24,900 --> 01:28:26,900
15 that you could bring up on
the Google search?
1483
01:28:27,500 --> 01:28:29,100
Maybe.
One of them is real, who knows?
1484
01:28:32,700 --> 01:28:34,700
I think that they're definitely
could have been Pockets.
1485
01:28:34,700 --> 01:28:38,700
I mean, shoot, we still get
sightings of pteranodons.
1486
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,800
I mean, people still report
sightings of pteranodons.
1487
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:45,000
It happens, right?
Could there be a small
1488
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,400
population?
I doubt there is any more but in
1489
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:53,500
1903 back when we were very
undeveloped, especially in that
1490
01:28:53,500 --> 01:28:56,400
area, I can see it.
I can see it.
1491
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:02,000
I definitely could I I just
can't get over the light.
1492
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:07,100
The light is the only thing I
just can't, I don't know.
1493
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:11,400
I like the light because it
gives the Van Meter Pfister its
1494
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,000
image like that is the
personality of the Van Meter
1495
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:16,900
visitor is the light on the for
it, right?
1496
01:29:16,900 --> 01:29:19,800
You can look at anything anybody
that knows anything about
1497
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,400
cryptozoology, right?
You can look at anything and
1498
01:29:23,500 --> 01:29:27,300
you'd be like, oh, it's a A
bird, a big Crow, but it has
1499
01:29:27,300 --> 01:29:29,100
light instead, so that's
supposed to be the Van Meter
1500
01:29:29,100 --> 01:29:32,600
visitor, right?
Well, that's why I said the the
1501
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:37,300
lantern was stuck on a torn.
Yeah, maybe good possibility.
1502
01:29:37,300 --> 01:29:41,700
I mean, everything from them
saying that there was a dull
1503
01:29:41,700 --> 01:29:44,400
horn on its head.
I mean, pteranodons were known
1504
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:49,600
to have crests, I mean
something, some bird still do in
1505
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,900
fact, some some reptiles still
have a small crest.
1506
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,500
It's shoot even Bigfoot Has A
sagittal Crest.
1507
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,700
All right, let me this was it
just makes sense.
1508
01:30:03,700 --> 01:30:07,500
Everything just makes sense.
This was also not something that
1509
01:30:07,500 --> 01:30:10,900
was attacking the people right
now.
1510
01:30:10,900 --> 01:30:12,800
Could it have been fucking with
them?
1511
01:30:13,700 --> 01:30:16,700
Yes.
And I think that's where Jeff
1512
01:30:16,700 --> 01:30:19,900
has some weight here to the
ultra terrestrial idea.
1513
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:21,900
I don't think it was enough to
terrestrial.
1514
01:30:21,900 --> 01:30:24,100
I don't think that they would
have bothered with anybody in
1515
01:30:24,100 --> 01:30:27,300
1903 and Bumfuck, nowhere.
We're Iowa, you know, Ultra
1516
01:30:27,300 --> 01:30:30,900
terrestrials are kind of there,
they'll come around and
1517
01:30:30,900 --> 01:30:33,300
important times.
Like, when they start up the
1518
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:38,500
hide hide, Ron collider in
Switzerland, you know, something
1519
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,700
like that's when an altar
terrestrials going to show up
1520
01:30:40,700 --> 01:30:44,600
and start fucking with things.
They're probably not going to
1521
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:45,700
go.
Do it in the middle of bumfuck.
1522
01:30:45,700 --> 01:30:49,800
Nowhere 1903 and a small mining
town of the house will keep lets
1523
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,800
you exist outside of time and
that's irrelevant.
1524
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,500
Yeah maybe maybe but what was
important?
1525
01:30:55,700 --> 01:30:58,300
Going on there in 1903.
The thing about Ultra
1526
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:00,500
terrestrials, right?
And they say Mothman is an
1527
01:31:00,500 --> 01:31:07,600
altered terrestrial who comes
around during times of it's a
1528
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:11,500
harbinger of death, right?
The the bridge goes down, Silver
1529
01:31:11,500 --> 01:31:15,500
Bridge, and that separates Ohio
from Point Pleasant West
1530
01:31:15,500 --> 01:31:19,900
Virginia and the Mothman shows
up the Mothman is thought to be
1531
01:31:19,900 --> 01:31:24,500
in an altered terrestrial that
shows up during these things as
1532
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:30,000
like a watcher.
Of history as it's made maybe if
1533
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,800
there's something that happened
out there who knows.
1534
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:42,600
Possibly a thing I'm saying and
I'm saying that the light is a
1535
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,900
fabricated part of the story
just to add Flair.
1536
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,600
You ever hear these stories?
I kind of give them the Mel's
1537
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:54,400
whole test in my brain and I'm
like how like Mel's hole is this
1538
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:58,500
story and this story is really
nothing like Mills whole, right?
1539
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:03,600
Which is which is more than
likely it's real because Mel
1540
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:10,100
whole Mel's hole is as fake as
the day is long and it's just,
1541
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:13,300
you know, so it's like, well
probably has some validity to
1542
01:32:13,300 --> 01:32:16,000
this 24 hours fake, right?
Yep.
1543
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,000
All right.
Well, what do you think
1544
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,500
Travelers?
Do you think that the Van Meter
1545
01:32:23,500 --> 01:32:28,000
visitor is a flush and Bug
Cryptid that we should be
1546
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,100
looking into?
Do you think it was a creature
1547
01:32:31,100 --> 01:32:33,100
from the past?
Do you think it was a creature
1548
01:32:33,100 --> 01:32:35,600
from the stars?
Do you think it was a creature
1549
01:32:35,900 --> 01:32:40,400
from beyond our Dimensions?
Until next time everybody, we'll
1550
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,800
see you right back here.
Next Fork of the infinite Rabbit
1551
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,100
Hole.
Goodbye.
1552
01:32:45,700 --> 01:32:49,200
Bye-bye adi��s.
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,500
Welcome back to the infinite
rabbit hole.
2
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,300
That's it.
Fire buddy.
3
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Happy New Year, welcome back to
the Inn for the rabbit hole.
4
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,900
Everyone I am your host Jeremy.
Today we're going to dive into
5
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,700
one of the biggest mysteries
when it comes to cryptozoology
6
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:57,500
here in the United States.
What is it?
7
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,400
You guys know do not meet her
visitor, the Van Meter visitor.
8
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,900
That's right.
Jacob.
9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Yeah, I'm smart.
Yeah, you are so Jake.
10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,300
How you doing, man?
I'm doing well.
11
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800
And on top of doing well, I'm
wearing the world-famous most
12
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,900
okay as podcasts in the world
shirt because your quote from, I
13
00:01:18,908 --> 00:01:21,000
think communion part 2.
Yeah.
14
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:24,200
This is the sport version.
So it's kind of like that
15
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200
moisture wicking type stuff, so
it's actually very comfortable.
16
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:28,700
Oh nice.
Yeah.
17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,600
I'm wearing my new beige into
the Rabbit Hole shirt that I got
18
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,600
from the new shop.
I like it.
19
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200
It's nice.
Yeah, like a color.
20
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,700
All right kid.
Hello.
21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,100
Hello.
Welcome.
22
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,300
Thank you.
How are things up there?
23
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:54,500
And Old Maple land.
Oh, you know.
24
00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:05,200
They are they are, they are
there, it's the time up here,
25
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,500
you know, and coming from
outside of the Matrix himself
26
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,000
old happy New Year, Jeff, how
you doing man?
27
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,300
I'm good, buddy.
How are you?
28
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,700
I'm good.
Well, no, I'm not.
29
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,500
I'm not good.
I'm stressed out stressed out
30
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:21,100
too.
Hey, welcome to the club, pal.
31
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:22,800
Hey, Happy Valentine's Day
everybody.
32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,400
You just how I love all of you?
Yeah, thanks buddy.
33
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:32,600
My Valentine is away in Maryland
for a five-week Detachment.
34
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,200
So I guess you you all are my
valentines.
35
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,000
So happy Valentine's Day.
I'll send you flowers especially
36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,600
you Jeff.
Especially you he really likes
37
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:51,900
from so many flowers.
Yeah, into cars at Eva because I
38
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:53,200
love you so much.
Thanks.
39
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,500
Don't get funny before we get
started.
40
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,200
Jake, do you want to make an
announcement?
41
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:06,200
Nope.
Okay, sure.
42
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Yeah, we'll wait till it's
closer to the time.
43
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,000
It's not a big deal.
Okay, all right.
44
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,600
Well, Jake's pregnant, that's
it.
45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Well, I can't wait to rub your
Billy.
46
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,500
Well, it's because all that frog
water.
47
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:24,600
Thanks.
Alex Jones.
48
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,800
Can we just, can we just stop
for a second and just enjoy how
49
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,300
much that evolved from?
What it was is too.
50
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200
All that frog water.
Thanks Alex.
51
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,800
I get a crack at a Jeff finally,
for once in his life.
52
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,500
From that one.
No.
53
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:59,400
All right, I'll say it.
I am planning here in the next.
54
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:04,100
I gave Jeremy two months to find
a replacement co-host because I
55
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:09,200
am planning on leaving the show.
I've had been having a big
56
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,200
struggle with balance lately.
I can't bounce.
57
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,300
Without a life where I am
constantly working, I have zero
58
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,400
time to myself and, you know,
part of that is that I'm
59
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,800
preparing to get out of the
military.
60
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,300
So, I'm going through a plethora
of medical appointments and
61
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:31,300
Mental, Health appointments,
which are all good things, but
62
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:33,100
then I'm trying to learn my new
job.
63
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:36,700
That was offered to me, hearing
Southern California so doing
64
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:40,200
that.
I officially have started
65
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,800
pastoral training so that takes
up an awful lot of Of time.
66
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,100
And, you know, I just don't have
time for the show.
67
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:53,100
So I told Jeremy to find
somebody now, whether well,
68
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,700
let's preface that I'm not
saying that it's not going to be
69
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,300
like on a guest episode type
basis or I say, hey, I've got
70
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,400
this cool project or whatever
Jeremy's been trying to get me
71
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,400
to do, you know?
So same thing I did over on
72
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:11,900
Phil's podcast, where I broke
down, Matthew 24 in the Bible
73
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:14,000
and related to current times and
events.
74
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Jeremy wants me to do something
like that.
75
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,300
So yeah, calling them up and
saying, hey, I've got something
76
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,800
to throw out there on the show,
but I told Jeremy that, you
77
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,400
know, we've been building this
thing for forever.
78
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,600
And the first time I left was
for this reason.
79
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,800
I wanted to start going to
Seminary and then things fell
80
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,700
apart right there.
But this is you know, the
81
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:37,200
official it's actually happening
but at the same time I don't
82
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400
want the podcast to just crash
and burn.
83
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,600
I don't want you know my spot
just be vacant.
84
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,900
So you know Jeremy find some
some Buddy that can fill my spot
85
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:49,400
that is passionate about the
show that can, you know, stick
86
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,100
to a schedule, can do things for
the show like editing and that
87
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:53,900
sort of stuff.
And, you know, has the time
88
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,100
frame for it because I had to be
open and honest with Jeremy.
89
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:01,100
The last thing I want is to
still be here.
90
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:06,700
But, you know, providing half a
half product, you know, less
91
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:10,100
than desirable work.
You know, the reason why I
92
00:06:10,108 --> 00:06:13,300
haven't busted out, that trolls
episode really is because I just
93
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,200
don't have time.
To research and put together
94
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,000
that massive of a project, you
know, I just there's no time for
95
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,600
it.
And so instead of dragging this
96
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,800
process out and being just a
burden, I'd rather be replaced
97
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400
with someone that can, you know,
take over that spot.
98
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,900
So that, you know, Jeremy and
Jeff and Kenza are getting a
99
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,300
valuable member that they
deserve to work with not someone
100
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,400
that's constantly like, oh, I
don't have time for this.
101
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,400
So I don't have time for this
and stuff like that, because I
102
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,500
mean that's the way it is right
now.
103
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,200
I just have Zero time for
myself.
104
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,500
I got a motorcycle and a hundred
pieces in the garage.
105
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:51,100
And you know, I've been wanting
to fix the paint job for a month
106
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,700
now, but I have zero time to get
into the garage to do it because
107
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:58,700
I'm spending, you know what 8,
to 10 hours at work every single
108
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:03,500
day, right?
But then I'm doing, you know,
109
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:08,600
editing the podcast, start,
doing the merch stuff, you know,
110
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,700
working on different music,
stuff for it and everything like
111
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:13,700
that trying to do research for
it.
112
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,400
And then on my weekends, I have
pretty much Church the entire
113
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
weekend, you know.
Plus me and my wife actually
114
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,400
helped plant a church on our
military base.
115
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,500
So we have to do that on
Sundays.
116
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:28,700
I have pastoral training on
Saturdays.
117
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:31,600
I just don't have time for
anything else, except for work,
118
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,100
and it's causing a tremendous
amount of strain in you know,
119
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,600
how I operate.
And the things that's expected
120
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800
of me especially on this show.
So I'd rather just be replaced
121
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200
and just, you know, nip it in
the bud and say, Me, this is
122
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,900
what's been going on and I need
you to start finding someone
123
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:51,600
else, but that being said, give
it a couple months, not saying,
124
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,300
you know, like you would do any
boss.
125
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:56,200
You know, I consider Jeremy my
boss because he's, you know, the
126
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,400
pretty much the main head honcho
of this this thing.
127
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,700
But, you know, you would expect
to tell anybody sauce.
128
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Hey, I don't, you know, I'm
planning on quitting in 30 days
129
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,800
or whatever just so that they
have the heads up and it's not
130
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,100
just a huge shock unless you
hate you.
131
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,500
In which case.
That's but that's not what the
132
00:08:16,508 --> 00:08:18,600
way I feel about Jeremy.
So that's what's been going on
133
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400
lately.
All right, so what does that
134
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,900
mean?
For the infrared whole that
135
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:28,800
means that no longer will you
have really cool.
136
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:36,500
So that evil laugh.
That's why the backgrounds Red
137
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:39,600
Sea, hmm?
Well, that means that will no
138
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,299
longer have really cool intros,
we will not have any more
139
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,100
artwork done.
So, get your stickers now or get
140
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:52,100
in your request to Jake now,
because when he goes, I don't
141
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:54,200
know how to do that shit, not
gonna do it.
142
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,600
So, what we have now is pretty
much what we're going to have
143
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,100
until I want to learn something
new, which maybe soon, I don't
144
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,000
know.
That is a good point.
145
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
If any of you listeners want
something specific, I mean, we
146
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400
only have so many different
options in the store but you
147
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,100
want a specific design or have a
request, hit us up.
148
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,200
You know, go to our group,
Facebook page, and DMS or put it
149
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,300
up there and say or you know hit
us up at infinite Rabbit Hole
150
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:25,100
gmail.com and say, hey, I'd
really like this.
151
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:29,100
Like the only reason why we have
coasters is because we had a
152
00:09:29,108 --> 00:09:31,700
specific A fan that said that he
wanted coasters.
153
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,300
So when we left printful, which
didn't have that option
154
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:37,700
available, I looked at red
bubble.
155
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:40,200
On the first thing I saw was
they made coasters.
156
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,700
So I jumped right on it and I
made a bunch of different
157
00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:47,600
designs with coasters on it.
So we will provide those sorts
158
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,600
of things, you know, especially
while I'm here.
159
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,600
And I can teach Jeremy how to do
this stuff, but it's a lot.
160
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,200
It's a lot of stuff to do, you
know?
161
00:09:54,700 --> 00:10:00,100
It takes probably 20 hours for
me to make a Good infinite
162
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:03,200
Rabbit Hole design.
So it's a lot of work.
163
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:07,900
So basically all the really cool
audio things that you guys hear,
164
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,500
the music, the intros, and stuff
like that, that's all going to
165
00:10:10,508 --> 00:10:13,700
go away.
There will be some changes to
166
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,700
the infinite Rabbit Hole.
I will talk to you guys about
167
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,600
these later, but I do have some
sort of an idea of where, what
168
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,700
direction I want to go to go in
and I think it's in the long run
169
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:29,200
is going to make the show a lot
better.
170
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,300
So as of right now, we are
looking for another co-host.
171
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,500
So if you are interested, you
got to let us know.
172
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:43,200
Now I'm not making any decisions
off the wing.
173
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800
We are going to have interview
processes.
174
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Just don't know what they are
yet, but you got to get in
175
00:10:49,808 --> 00:10:52,600
contact with me.
If your infant rabbit hole at
176
00:10:52,608 --> 00:10:58,100
gmail.com, hit me up on DM
Facebook, go over to incident
177
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:02,100
rabbit hole.com.
And hit the, the message
178
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:05,600
messages or whatever button,
something like that.
179
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,800
And let me know that you are
interested.
180
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,600
I'm not going to make this
decision quick and we may have
181
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,300
some episodes where we just have
three people or two, who knows?
182
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,800
Because Jeremy's gonna leave
too.
183
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:24,400
It's all kids no kid.
This is yours.
184
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:30,400
Good luck.
Okay, don't ruin it.
185
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:37,400
Can I fire myself now?
All right, but that's enough of
186
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,300
that.
We've talked for quite a while,
187
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:40,500
Jeff.
You got anything that you want
188
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,200
to say?
It's my bedtime.
189
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,200
No, we're just starting.
So I do have an intro for this
190
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:52,600
jacob.
You're not getting tribal.
191
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,100
I see.
I see how it is.
192
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800
So this is probably going to be
the last thing that Jake ever
193
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,500
doesn't intro for.
We'll see what.
194
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:21,100
Yep, yeah, probably
In December of 1967, the Silver
195
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:24,000
Bridge, Connecting Point,
Pleasant West, Virginia, and
196
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,900
glop Alice Ohio collapse into
the icy waters of the Ohio,
197
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:33,100
river and among other things,
the mystery of the Mothman was
198
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,400
thrown into the Limelight and
became one of the darling poster
199
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,900
children of cryptozoology and
urban legends in 1909 just east
200
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:44,800
of the land Mothman.
The snallygaster came.
201
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
The scene in the mountains of
Western Maryland.
202
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,000
Stories Crawl Through the
hollers and hills of the
203
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,400
northern Appalachians of this
flying phenomenon and its
204
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,900
tendencies that pickup full
grown men drain them of their
205
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,700
blood before tossing, the empty
bodies back to the Earth.
206
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,700
And before that in January the
same year just to the north in
207
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,300
the desolate Pine Barrens.
New Jersey.
208
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,200
A double was loose and tore
through the nightmares of Boom
209
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,400
Doc pineys and city Folk like
things got so bad that working
210
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,400
School.
Shut down from January 16th,
211
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,900
22nd due to the DraStic increase
of devil encounters but before
212
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:31,800
the mouth snellie and JD there
was another notorious Terror of
213
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,800
the night.
One that began its rain six
214
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,600
years before the likes of any
other heavyweight Airborne
215
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,200
Cryptid time to step back in
time, travelers back to 1903 and
216
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,100
mid-autumn to a town.
Just a thousand Souls just
217
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:51,400
outside of Des Moines Iowa.
A visitor is about to make their
218
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,400
presence known in Van Meter,
welcome back to infinite rabbit.
219
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,300
Kind of stumble over my words
there at the end, but whatever.
220
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:16,500
So this isn't a Jersey Devil
episode.
221
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,300
This is not a Jersey Devil
episode although, you know, you
222
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,700
guys will learn pretty quick,
but this is another aerial
223
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:28,900
Cryptid.
This is a very unique story,
224
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,200
this is one that can be debated.
This is not something that's
225
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,300
just a story because there are
holes in it but I mean this
226
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:41,400
comes back from 1903.
So Of course, there's going to
227
00:14:41,408 --> 00:14:45,400
be some holes there, right?
Because by now, you know, the
228
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000
game of telephone probably
change this Legend from what it
229
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,600
really was to something
drastically different But I'm
230
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,500
gonna give you what I found.
All right, holes, are we talking
231
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:58,800
about here like big old gaping
holes or little tiny holes?
232
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,800
I wouldn't say it's a gave her,
but yeah, Caper fair enough.
233
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,500
All right, any questions before
we get started?
234
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,300
No visitor of Van Meter in the
book.
235
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:20,000
The Van Meter visitor by Chad,
Lewis, Noah, Voss and Kevin Lee
236
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,200
Nelson.
The men make mention of an
237
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,300
article from 1903 titles.
Des Moines new monster and
238
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:30,000
quoted.
The article is sitting quote to
239
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,200
weird-looking Terror strike
striking monsters are living in
240
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,200
an abandoned Coal, Mine on the
edge of town.
241
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,300
The abandoned Coal Mine, the
article was referring to was the
242
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:43,700
old Van Meter Coal Mine which in
1879 was sold to the Chicago
243
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,200
Coal Company.
They used to provide the town of
244
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,800
Tracy's Nat natural resources to
entities, such as The Rock
245
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,800
Island Railroad Company.
This, along with the popular,
246
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,400
clay Brick & Tile Factory, which
use clay from nearby areas in
247
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,200
the coal, mine itself made the
small town of Tracy, a popular
248
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,600
hub for labor by the turn of the
20th century.
249
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:08,100
All of this was thanks to a very
important Pioneer by the name of
250
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,100
Jay, our Van Meter in.
A town eventually changed his
251
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:15,700
name to to pay homage as many
people made their way into the
252
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:20,100
u.s. across the Midwest more and
more people began settling in
253
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,900
the newly named named town of
Van Meter IA.
254
00:16:22,908 --> 00:16:27,900
Iowa as these newcomers settled,
not only in Van Meter, but
255
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:31,000
throughout the entire State
Supernatural, beliefs and lure
256
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,600
came with them, both before.
And after the vizard terrified,
257
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,600
the people of Van Meter stories
of werewolves wild men water
258
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,700
monsters ghosts and
Self-illuminating.
259
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,300
Illuminated, orbs were detailed
by many who called this state
260
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:48,300
home, although many of these
stories, have some documentation
261
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:52,200
to them, none of them have been
reported in such a way that
262
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,500
Rivals, the Van Meter visitor, a
flying monster said to be living
263
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,400
in the abandoned Coal Mine in
town.
264
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,099
All right.
Y'all ready to get visited?
265
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:11,500
Yeah, man.
Who gets soaked visitor?
266
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,200
Just not probed.
All right, go, you're going to
267
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,400
wish you got broke.
All right.
268
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:21,099
Let's start diving into the
first events.
269
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,300
Yugi Griffith was walking home
at 1 a.m.
270
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:29,700
Tuesday, September 29th, 1903
after a long day at work at his
271
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:33,000
tool and seed store and Van
Meter IA Iowa as mr.
272
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:37,700
If it's was approached as mr.
Griffith approached the Mather
273
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:40,500
and Greg's building in town.
As part of his normal route
274
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,400
home.
His attention was drawn to the
275
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,400
top of the building, where there
stood a light he had never seen
276
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,300
before.
His first thoughts were that the
277
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:50,600
building was being robbed and
began to move closer to get a
278
00:17:50,608 --> 00:17:52,500
better view.
But as he approached the
279
00:17:52,508 --> 00:17:55,400
building the light quickly,
floated away from the Mather and
280
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,400
Greg and was now stalled on top
of another building across the
281
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,900
street and as quick as it took
to move to the other building,
282
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:06,300
The light disappeared.
Mr. Griffith didn't have to
283
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:09,300
worry about robbers anymore,
Griffin.
284
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,100
This is walk home and fell
asleep.
285
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:16,300
The next morning, he who was a
very respected member of the
286
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,400
Town who held a seat on the
Village Council and belong to
287
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,500
very respected clubs began
telling all that would listen
288
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:26,700
about his encounter the night,
prior with a mysterious light.
289
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,800
A few newspapers picked up on
the story and would publish the
290
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,900
next day it report of Griffiths
Griffiths account.
291
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:37,000
But little was made of it in a
public manner, the rest of the
292
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,500
first or second day dr.
Alcott went to sleep, the night
293
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,100
of the 29th.
The very next day in a small
294
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:48,500
room, behind the office, in
which he in his practice and
295
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:50,900
doze off to the sound of light
rain.
296
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:54,000
Just shy of 1 a.m.
Wednesday morning.
297
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:57,000
He was awoken by an extremely
bright light shining.
298
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,400
In his face, the pudgy little
man jumped up out of bed and
299
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,000
grabbed his gun and ran outside
to confront those that were
300
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,300
torturing his sleep as dr.
Alcott turned the corner outside
301
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:09,900
of his doctors office.
He came face-to-face with a
302
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,400
creature that he could never, he
could have never created in his
303
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,400
nightmares.
A half man, half animal as
304
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,000
Alcott later described stood in
front of him with large bat-like
305
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,700
wings and a blunt horn coming
out of the middle of his
306
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:25,700
forehead.
But the light now, the light was
307
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:29,700
intense and was originating out
from the small protrusion on his
308
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:32,700
face and dr.
Alcott raised his revolver and
309
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:35,100
fired.
Five shots into the creature,
310
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,400
which seemed to not affect it in
the slightest.
311
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,500
So he turned tail and ran back
into his office.
312
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,300
Lock the doors and windows, and
hunkered in until Daybreak as
313
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:47,100
the sun rose on, whip on
Wednesday.
314
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:50,300
September 30th 1903 and Van
Meter IA.
315
00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:53,400
Iowa dr.
Alcott began telling his story
316
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,200
to a select few men.
And before long, the story had
317
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,900
been the Talk of the Town and
nobody looked at the two
318
00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:02,600
encounters is being caused by
the same entity yet.
319
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,300
In the very early morning hours.
The next day.
320
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:10,800
Clarence done, was on his way to
the bank that he worked at as a
321
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,600
teller.
And would one day manage, he was
322
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,300
one of the only or one of a very
few people in the town that saw
323
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:22,500
the two stories, a strange
lights being possibly connected
324
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,300
and it was his concern that
there were robbers about.
325
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,500
So we headed to the bank to
guard it for the night, shotgun
326
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:32,900
hand around 1 a.m. mr.
Dunn, finally arrived and began
327
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:36,000
his Long night Garden to source
of income that kept his family
328
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000
live, a strange gurgling sound
arose, from a rose him from his
329
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,900
chair before an intense light
illuminated him from the window
330
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,300
at the front of the bank, the
light swept around the room and
331
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:50,800
snap back to Clarence.
As he was.
332
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,300
Raising a shotgun, the light
settled on him.
333
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,300
Once again, as he pulled the
trigger shattering the glass in
334
00:20:56,308 --> 00:20:59,500
the creature was gone once
again, according to mr.
335
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:03,000
Dunn, he shot it perfectly and
there was no way that he missed.
336
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:06,200
In the Morning Light, the only
evidence that anything was there
337
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:10,700
was shattered glass outside of
the bank, and a few three toe
338
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:15,700
tracks that thankfully mr.
Dunn casted, in plaster that
339
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:19,500
night, oh V white was asleep
above the Fisher and white
340
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:23,300
hardware and furniture store
that he co-owned when he was
341
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:27,100
shocked awake by an intense
sound right outside of his
342
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,000
second story.
Quarters on Main Street, he
343
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
grabbed his gun as he had heard
the rumors around town.
344
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,900
Of a creature on the loose and
went to his window to see what
345
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,900
was making the incredible sound
as he opened the window, the
346
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:41,400
sound stopped mr.
White look through the
347
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,100
drizzling, the drizzle falling
on the street below him as he
348
00:21:45,100 --> 00:21:47,100
began to look around.
He noticed a dark figure
349
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:49,800
standing on the cross section of
the telephone pole across the
350
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,700
street and immediately mr.
White believe, he knew that the
351
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,500
culprit was perched at a height
that was unbelievable for
352
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:00,000
something.
So big to be at 0 V, white took
353
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,500
aim and fired around directly.
Lee at the creature he shot that
354
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:09,900
he described as an ordinary good
shot but the creature didn't
355
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:12,500
fall instead.
It turned around and Shine the
356
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:14,400
most incredible light directly
at mr.
357
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,000
White and whatever it was seemed
to emit a smell that was so
358
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,800
strong that white reported that
it confused him and he lost
359
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,000
track of what was happening.
The same shot rang out
360
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
throughout town and awakens his
neighbor.
361
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Sydney, gray mr.
Our Sydney Greg sorry.
362
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:35,200
Mr. Greg, ran to his front door.
Which faced out to to Main
363
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Street and was shocked.
At the sight of a very large
364
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,500
creature with long Wings, making
its way down the telephone pole
365
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:44,800
in a way that reminded him of a
parrot to sending a poll in its
366
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,100
cage.
The creature held its body
367
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:50,300
horizontal to the ground and
climbed down one foot.
368
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,100
After the other while using its
large beak to make a constant 3
369
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:58,400
points of contact mr.
Greg described it as almost 8
370
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,900
feet tall with a very large beak
and a light as bright as
371
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:04,900
Electric.
And emanating from its forehead,
372
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:09,000
both men, described an
incredible stench after it began
373
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:13,600
moving from its perch Sydney.
Greg heard the loud sound of the
374
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,200
oncoming train that brought the
Daily Mail and as if the
375
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,100
creature, I've never heard a
sound like that before, it
376
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:23,400
dropped low to the ground as if
startled by the Rivalry noise.
377
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,400
Mr. Greg only 15 feet away from
the creature watched, as it took
378
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,100
large leaps before dropping to
all fours and running until it
379
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:34,400
eventually took flight towards
the Abandoned coal mining town.
380
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,800
That was the last time.
Anyone saw the creature that
381
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,700
night?
All right guys.
382
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,600
So what you guys think about the
first three days?
383
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,700
Four days, four days back
back-to-back events.
384
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,300
The first thing I think of is
the Thunderbird or a very large
385
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:57,700
bat.
Does he know that way?
386
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,900
Either way the light, I believe
that the light shining into
387
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,300
their eyes, would cause a
massive reflection if their eyes
388
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:14,200
are big enough, so, The way that
these these encounters read.
389
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:19,900
And one of The Tell-Tale signs
of the Van Meter visitor, is as
390
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:24,400
self-illuminating light where
the light comes from the
391
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,800
creature itself.
That's just, you know, we've
392
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,900
discussed this before.
I don't think there is a single
393
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:34,400
animal on the face of the Earth
that we know of, I mean, let's
394
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,100
preface this.
That we know of that has light
395
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:40,300
that actually shines from its
eyes.
396
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:44,200
So it doesn't come from size.
Comes from a spot on his
397
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,800
forehead.
That's not true.
398
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,500
Either, there are bioluminescent
animals and like the anglerfish,
399
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:53,600
there's things.
Maybe they don't shine a light
400
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,700
like a flashlight or like a
laser beam, but does it mean?
401
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,500
Couldn't happen if you had.
I could see that being
402
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,400
biologically possible is what
I'm saying.
403
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,500
What I'm getting at.
I, I tackle this with an idea.
404
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,700
I have later on, we'll get back
into that in a minute because I
405
00:25:10,708 --> 00:25:13,200
know that like, when you hear
this story of the Van Meter
406
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,100
visitor, that's the first thing
that pops in your head is is
407
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,500
that damn light.
If if that light wasn't there
408
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,800
this could be a number of things
like Jake was saying right.
409
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:25,200
One thing I don't go into is
Thunderbird.
410
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,300
I just I For one.
Don't think it's a Thunderbird
411
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:31,400
whatsoever but there are a lot
of other options that it could
412
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,400
possibly be.
It was just that idea that going
413
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,300
down the pole like that.
I could totally picture at me
414
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:37,700
like that sounds like a big
bird.
415
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,100
Yeah.
But no Jeff I meant like from
416
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:41,800
its eyeballs because that's
always what we hear is that
417
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,300
their eyes were glowing because
eyes are made to take in light
418
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:51,700
not projected to you're not a
bioluminescence like of course
419
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:55,900
we see in Plants we see in some
animals like generally fish,
420
00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:57,700
deep underwater.
And stuff like that, where there
421
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:00,300
is no light, they create
bioluminescence but it was the
422
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,000
eyes.
I was referring to but the light
423
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
on top of the head though.
I don't know.
424
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,900
I'm digging this story though,
so far, it is a good story.
425
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,200
Van Meter, visitors, classic
iconic, special second part.
426
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:17,500
I kind of feel like in 1903 in
Des Moines, Iowa, there's
427
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:22,700
probably some bullshit story.
There might be, there might be a
428
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:25,200
little town, the whole town to
give another thing.
429
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,300
Is it starts with one, it starts
with one right guys, eating bar,
430
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,000
whatever, right?
And he's like, yeah, man.
431
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:34,800
And then somebody here is it and
like, there's nothing going on
432
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:41,500
in Des Moines Iowa.
Now in 20 13 was happening
433
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:43,900
there.
So of course, like the next guy
434
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:46,500
is going to want to be in on it
somehow like what happened to me
435
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,100
too man.
Yeah when I got a cast of the
436
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:53,500
foot to nude.
Yeah the okay it pulled down my
437
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,200
pants and showed me.
What was what?
438
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,700
Yeah, tasted gray.
That's what I latched onto is
439
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:03,600
the casting.
I want to see the casting of
440
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,700
this foot.
So let's talk.
441
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:09,100
Up this cast because it no
longer exists.
442
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,600
Ah, how appropriate, how
appropriate?
443
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:16,300
Okay, one thing we could talk
about this because I actually
444
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:20,600
didn't mention this throughout
my presentation here which is
445
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:26,100
pretty critical know, there's
two things that are wrong with
446
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:31,900
the cast from 1903 in Van Meter,
Iowa, one the Caster that the
447
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:40,500
cast The casting plaster that
they used was It was kind of
448
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:44,300
gooey, it wasn't solidified,
like it is now like we add salt
449
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,400
to ours.
Now, never used to do that.
450
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,700
So it became very very brittle
and it wasn't something that was
451
00:27:50,700 --> 00:27:54,600
meant to stay as a cast for a
very long time that just didn't
452
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,100
last.
Also a few years later at the
453
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:04,900
want to say it was by 1910.
Almost the entire town burned
454
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,000
down.
Hmm.
455
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,400
So if this cat's did exist and
was in that town, there's a good
456
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,800
possibility that even if it was
real that it's that it wouldn't
457
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,300
be around today where they're at
least photographs taken of it in
458
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,600
1903.
I don't know if the camera exist
459
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,700
tried.
I tried Googling it.
460
00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:30,400
All I got was artist, Renditions
of what the Cryptid is supposed
461
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,500
to look like no actual foot.
Castings are pictures of said
462
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:37,800
casting, right?
And I'm glad you brought that up
463
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:45,800
because when I put this video on
YouTube, I am going to plaster
464
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,300
it with some of these artists
Renditions of this thing.
465
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:55,100
I think the they're awesome.
It's this this creature so
466
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:56,700
intense.
And like if you look at some of
467
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:01,000
these, some of these pictures,
Jake I think specially you,
468
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,100
because you spent a lot of time
playing ARCA me, you're going to
469
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,500
get some ideas of what this
Looks like an Argent Avis.
470
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:13,400
No, no it actually looks like a
quetzel or a Pteranodon so so
471
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,900
you might be talking about the
other version of the Thunderbird
472
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:20,800
which is more like there's a big
flying reptile out there right
473
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,600
now that, you know, if you if
you look at or if you listen to
474
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,700
the description that comes off
of this thing bat-like Wings
475
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:30,000
stands out.
Yeah.
476
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,400
Right.
And that reminds me of a
477
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200
Pteranodon, something from that
family.
478
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,800
But I get into that too, so I
don't want to dive too much into
479
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,500
that.
You guys read move on and could
480
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,600
have they been nighttime Hunters
with bioluminescence?
481
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:49,600
I say that in my right, Jeff.
I have a question about this
482
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,800
town burning down.
Do you go into that?
483
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,600
I don't know.
Because that, that was a
484
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,800
separate incident, then the Van
Meter visitor completely.
485
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,400
So I don't talk about it.
Although, the book that I did
486
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:07,600
read, which I stated the title,
is Van Meter visitor by three
487
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:13,100
different people live.
Well, it's just interesting
488
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:16,400
because it's around the same
time that all the world's fairs
489
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,400
were being brought around and
burned down and all of history
490
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,300
was being erased.
So I wonder if that town was
491
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:25,900
burned down on purpose to a Some
shit that might have actually
492
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,700
been going down, maybe good
possibility.
493
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:32,400
That is interesting that you
said that but the book is by
494
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:35,500
Louis faucet Nelson.
It's a great book.
495
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:41,400
I actually from the same, the
same authors did the windigo
496
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,600
book that I did the windigo
episodes, awful kid.
497
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,400
Cool.
You guys ready?
498
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:53,600
And we'll just too just to
answer your question.
499
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,400
Yes, photography was around in
1901 that giant mound of Buffalo
500
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,600
skulls and stuff where people
are standing in front of it,
501
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,300
that was taken in 1880.
Although it would have been very
502
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:06,800
expensive.
Yeah, so far later.
503
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,400
Yeah.
Yeah, let me let me pay a quick
504
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:17,000
thousand dollars to have this
picture taken shit this cast.
505
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:18,900
Alright?
Jeff you ready?
506
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Okay, good Jeff left, everybody
just walks away.
507
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,100
That's what he does.
All right, he's gonna miss him,
508
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,800
the story, I'm not catching him
up.
509
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Alright, next bit the town's
folks Last Stand.
510
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,300
The town woke up to Terror as
yet.
511
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:40,900
Another sighting of the creature
was made last night and not just
512
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:44,500
any sighting Sydney.
Greg was 15 away. 15 feet away
513
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:48,300
from it and had a perfect view
of the thing while mr.
514
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:50,600
White shot.
It again, before it admitted a
515
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,200
terrible odor and ran off
towards the coal.
516
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,200
Mine people were now connecting
the three events that all
517
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,300
happened and I say three, it's
for I do apologize for events
518
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,600
that all happened in for
consecutive nights.
519
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:10,200
You had the light on top of the
building, you had the Doctor Who
520
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,500
came around his building and
fired five shots into it.
521
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:17,600
You have the bank teller who
shot it through a window with a
522
00:32:17,608 --> 00:32:20,500
shotgun and then you have mr.
White, and mr.
523
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:24,600
Gregg's story where it came down
telephone pole.
524
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,900
And like the, the scariest
fucking way that anything, I'm
525
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:31,500
not a fucking telephone pole,
I'd be like, nah, I'm good.
526
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:37,300
I'm going to go back to bed.
People were now connecting the
527
00:32:37,300 --> 00:32:41,100
four events that all happened in
four consecutive Nights by for
528
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:44,800
diff are five different
important men in the town.
529
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,800
This thing was big, it was loud.
It flew and somehow it was able
530
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,300
to shine in an incredible light
which gave it the upper hand in
531
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:56,500
the nighttime.
When it had visited Van Meter, a
532
00:32:56,500 --> 00:33:00,600
local high school teacher
reported as only named
533
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,900
Professor.
Martin said that the creature
534
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:09,700
was most likely and to divide
until Aunt diluvian and to
535
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:13,600
leuven, which means from room.
Yeah, that's why I said, which
536
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,500
means from a time before the
great flood, but nobody knew for
537
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:22,100
sure exactly what it was and why
it was here the evening of
538
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,900
Friday October.
Second was a long one, everybody
539
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:29,300
was on alert due to reports and
men, who worked at the factory
540
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:31,400
and brick plant in the same
area.
541
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,800
Reported sounds coming from deep
within the shafts one
542
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,200
description to sounds.
Whereas quote, though Satan and
543
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,200
a regiment of imps were coming
forth for a battle JL Platt.
544
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,900
Jr.
Was the plant manager at this
545
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:48,700
Factory and was a very seasoned
worker of both the mind and the
546
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:52,500
brickworks, The Sounds emanating
from the hollows of the voids
547
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:55,600
that were the old.
Ended mine shaft, just 600 feet
548
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,500
away from the building.
He was now in charge of were
549
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:01,400
terrifying to all the men who
were who were working that
550
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,800
night, mr.
Platt group, curious and
551
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,800
approached the entrance to the
mine and was shocked to witness
552
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,000
the winged monstrosity along
with a slightly smaller, one as
553
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,300
well.
He described both creatures as
554
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:16,800
having the bright light, that
others had reported and came
555
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,100
extremely close to them as they
took flight directly over his
556
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:22,699
position.
All of the men working that
557
00:34:22,699 --> 00:34:26,000
night at at various distances
between mr.
558
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,699
Platts position and the plant
only 600 feet away, saw them as
559
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:31,699
they flew off into the darkness
of night.
560
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:35,500
The reports didn't wait until
morning the men knew what they
561
00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:37,800
had to do.
So they went back to town and
562
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,900
gather all the men and their
firearms on the way out.
563
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:44,000
All of lights were turned on in
town to provide some sort of
564
00:34:44,007 --> 00:34:47,300
comfort and protection for the
younger men children and women
565
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:50,000
of Van Meter.
If those things came back to the
566
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,400
mines tonight, they will be met
by A Chorus of shots fired by
567
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,600
Man in town.
The night was not as exciting as
568
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,900
everyone had hoped the men
waited until Daybreak for the
569
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,800
creature.
And the last moments of daylight
570
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:07,300
the two huge flying Terrors were
spotted heading back to the
571
00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:10,600
mouth of the Mind.
The entire mob of men with their
572
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,800
firearms took aim and fired.
And volley, that was heard by
573
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,900
and frightened those in town.
As the creatures flew closer.
574
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,400
Another horrific smell permeated
the area and many men could not
575
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,900
take the smell and quit firing,
but it made no difference
576
00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:31,600
because even with the dozens or
hundreds of shots fired, the
577
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,300
creatures flew lazily by the men
guarding the mouth of the mine
578
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,700
as if they weren't even there a
new Terror struck them all.
579
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,300
Not, everyone was convinced that
these creatures even existed,
580
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,200
and if they did, the reported
shots would have had to have
581
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,400
been off and not actually hit
the creature, but there was no
582
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,200
questioning longer.
They were here.
583
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,600
And bullets did absolutely
nothing to them.
584
00:35:56,100 --> 00:35:59,000
That was the last reported
sighting of the mysterious large
585
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,300
flying monster with a natural
Spotlight on its forehead.
586
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:05,500
All of this information
originally came from articles
587
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:09,800
published by the Des Moines,
Daily News and was brilliantly.
588
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,900
Recaptured in the Van Meter
visitor, a book by Chad, Lewis,
589
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:17,800
Noah Voss.
And Kevin Lee Nelson, many
590
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,000
Mysteries.
Still exists about the origins
591
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,800
and the eventual end of this
mysterious monster.
592
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,300
Some say that the townspeople
boarded up, the old mine shaft
593
00:36:26,300 --> 00:36:29,600
and blocked them in, until they
starve and died.
594
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,900
Their bones eternally lost time
and the concoction of fumes
595
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:37,700
produced by such mind.
Some say that the creatures flew
596
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,300
out and away after the
onslaught, by the Myriad of
597
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:44,200
bullets, fired at them.
During that Last Stand by the
598
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,400
men of Van Meter, or maybe
they're still out there.
599
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,400
All right, so, that's it.
That is everything.
600
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:56,200
The rest of the episode is all
dissection, okay, we're going to
601
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,100
dive into possibilities and
we're going to go way down the
602
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:04,200
rabbit hole just so unlike what
Jeff will tell you that
603
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:10,600
dinosaurs never existed.
Now, I'm just teasing but
604
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:17,500
truthfully we don't know because
we only have bones, right?
605
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:21,800
What These animals because I
mean, I looked up the images to
606
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,700
they look exactly like
pteranodons.
607
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,600
But of course, that's artist.
Renditions going off of
608
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,500
something, the we already
believe to know existed.
609
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:33,400
Right.
But we don't know what their
610
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,000
skin makeup was.
We don't know if they had some
611
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,600
sort of a scent gland where they
could put off this disgusting
612
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,000
odor, right?
We don't know if they had, I
613
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,400
don't know, very thick skin,
right?
614
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:49,500
Like you got a match.
Legend.
615
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:53,900
There's no, they're probably not
be any real protection on them.
616
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,600
Granted it have to be light to
fly around unless their bones
617
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,900
were very dense but I don't
think that's the case.
618
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:02,800
But that we don't know any of
that stuff.
619
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,600
We don't know if they created
bioluminescence, we don't know.
620
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,900
Even what color they were?
You know, some people even say
621
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:11,700
oh well the dinosaurs had
feathers and turns out that was
622
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:16,600
a lie too because you know, that
that original fossil is a fake
623
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,700
but it's just So much stuff.
We don't know about the
624
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,600
dinosaurs because we only thing
we have is their bones and even
625
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,300
the question remains for some of
them being so big.
626
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:33,200
How did you know their bones?
Take the weight of them as you
627
00:38:33,207 --> 00:38:35,300
know, full-grown adults?
How do they mate?
628
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,400
Like that?
The best explanation I've gotten
629
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,000
for that one.
Is that they bred when they were
630
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,100
young, once they got too big I
mean they couldn't possibly lift
631
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:45,400
themselves up in order to breed
with each other even like
632
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,800
lizards do so.
You know, they probably did that
633
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,200
as As you know, as smaller
younger dinosaurs.
634
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:57,000
But there's so many things that
is just Unknown about them.
635
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,300
So if in fact, there were
pteranodons that maybe still
636
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:03,000
inhabit the Earth and to some
degree or another in some
637
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,800
places, you know, which could
they have a spotlight shine out
638
00:39:06,808 --> 00:39:08,000
of their foreheads?
Sure, why not?
639
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,200
Yeah, because we have no clue,
you know?
640
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,800
They could be purple with pink
spots.
641
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,900
We have no idea.
Probably not.
642
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:16,900
But you know, it's just like,
could they be sky-blue?
643
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:17,900
I don't know.
Right.
644
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,500
And so it's just like So, we
different things.
645
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:27,000
I am not above thinking that to
a degree, you know, some of
646
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,400
these dinosaurs, you know, was
still exist around the earth.
647
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,500
You know, in very small
populations or maybe in large
648
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:39,600
populations, but in very remote
areas where maybe the tribes
649
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,000
people that live there.
The you know, just the
650
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,300
population itself doesn't want
to expose that these things
651
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:47,900
happen because what's going to
happen all the world scientists
652
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:49,700
are going to show up there at
their Doorstep.
653
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:54,100
So, you know, I think that this
is a very interesting story and
654
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,800
I'm not quick to say this is all
baloney.
655
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:04,400
Nice, anybody else?
I don't know, bro.
656
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,700
So is there anybody is there any
documentation of interviews from
657
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:11,800
these people who had these
sightings or is this all just
658
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,300
based off of the newspaper
articles in the time, just
659
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:16,900
newspaper overdose of the
tournament.
660
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:19,800
That's it.
This was a very, very small
661
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,000
area.
This was not a very big area,
662
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,300
the whole, that whole that whole
section, the country was
663
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:30,300
underdeveloped, it was Blue
Collar as Blue Collar get.
664
00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:33,400
It's like if you lived in the
town, Own you worked in the
665
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,100
mine.
It was a simple as that.
666
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:40,600
Here's the problem is like that
geographical location in my mind
667
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:46,200
is hard for creatures like that
to have existed, unknown going
668
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,600
back, thousands of years.
All right.
669
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,900
If they've somehow survived, you
know, like I've been Daiwa.
670
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,900
There's not a whole lot of
places to hide a lot of corn but
671
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,800
you believe in the whole earth
and their miners, could they
672
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,500
have cracked open a hole in
these things.
673
00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:03,800
Escape from It.
Yes, that's that.
674
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,800
Ran through my mind to that.
I mean, that's always a theory,
675
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,100
right?
Every episode, no matter what
676
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:10,600
we're talking about.
It's always comes down to like,
677
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,700
well, maybe in the hollow Earth,
or maybe in the ocean, I'm sure
678
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:19,200
some connection there.
So, yeah, but also we're in the
679
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:25,100
middle of bumfuck nowhere with
in the middle of like an era
680
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:27,800
when there's not shit going on,
right?
681
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:34,800
So, So let me spit out.
Another little fact that I did
682
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,900
not include here.
One thing is that they did not
683
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:44,100
publicize this like the town.
Like if you go to any other
684
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:49,200
Cryptid Town, Mothman, Loveland
Frogman, snallygaster Jersey
685
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,800
Devil.
You have festivals, man.
686
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:57,200
Every year annual festivals, The
first Annual Festival of this
687
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,200
was like five years ago, they
had to be convinced an outsider
688
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,700
had to come and convince them to
do something for their monster.
689
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:08,400
Like these people just they
didn't they didn't Market it.
690
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:11,800
I mean, I'm not saying it was
done for that reason.
691
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,200
I mean it very well could have
just been a simple as like
692
00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:16,600
somebody working at the
newspaper was like, hey this is
693
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,200
a fun story.
Yeah.
694
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,500
Right.
We publish one and then next
695
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:23,700
thing, you know the guy at the
bar is like, I seen it.
696
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,500
Right.
What motherfucker man he can't
697
00:42:26,500 --> 00:42:30,100
about now.
I will say I will say just to
698
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:34,000
kind of give you a little bit of
warm heart here, right?
699
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:38,500
This book does reference the
almanacs?
700
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:47,100
I'm not the only next the know I
was tracking and then you just
701
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,000
go fucking.
What's the thing?
702
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:54,400
We population survey, the thing,
you know, Census.
703
00:42:54,800 --> 00:43:09,000
They seized what an idiot.
Oh my the the census from those
704
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,600
times these people existed.
So these people lived in Van
705
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:20,000
Meter, right?
So how would a somebody from Des
706
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,600
Moines even know all of these
people that lived in Van Meter?
707
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:34,100
I mean that's less of a stretch
than yo some you know, better
708
00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:35,900
than that law from the elm neck,
right?
709
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:41,500
Yeah.
Come on the fence, dude.
710
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:46,200
I'm not saying this is just,
there's a lot of room for me to
711
00:43:46,207 --> 00:43:48,500
be like, you know what, man?
They probably made this shit up.
712
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,000
I agree.
And that's one of the biggest
713
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,000
things with the Van Meter
visitor, is, you know, a lot of
714
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,100
this stuff.
There's like a lot of things
715
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:00,200
that make sense here.
Like, when you talk about the
716
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,800
biology of this creature, the
only thing that doesn't work is
717
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,100
the fucking light on its head.
That's the only thing that
718
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:08,000
doesn't work, I'll get it.
We're going to dive into some
719
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,600
more stuff here.
I'm going to dive into some of
720
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,200
the possibilities of what this
thing could be some more of the
721
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,400
background of town and whatnot.
And I think we're going to open
722
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,200
your minds up a little bit.
Maybe it's just one and they
723
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,200
have that big old horn that
comes out of the top of their
724
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:28,600
head to some degree and it just
got a Got a lantern from the
725
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,700
cave stuck on its head.
And so I was looking at people
726
00:44:31,700 --> 00:44:37,600
and I had this later like the
light of death that's just for
727
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,100
you while.
It's just trying to ask for some
728
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:44,400
help, get this thing off my head
and I live in the hallway.
729
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,900
That's what my skin looks like
mold.
730
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,300
Yeah.
All right guys, let's let's move
731
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:54,500
along.
So what was it in the book by
732
00:44:54,500 --> 00:44:59,100
Lewis Voss and Nelson.
More Voss takes the lead in
733
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:03,100
chapter 7 and which he outlines
a list, he compiled a possible
734
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:05,900
other sightings of the creature
through the process.
735
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:09,100
He eliminates known and unknown
creatures that share less than
736
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:12,200
three similarities with the Van
Meter visitor, some of these
737
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,100
similarities are physical such
as the huge size giant bat-like
738
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:19,000
wings or a light
self-illuminated from its body.
739
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:23,100
Some were mannerisms such as
Using its beak to descend off a
740
00:45:23,107 --> 00:45:27,100
tree, like structure fly at
times between midnight and
741
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:30,900
Daybreak and some other of these
characteristics were based off
742
00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:34,800
of non physical similarities
such as the, disgusting odor, or
743
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,100
the preference for choosing Old
Mines.
744
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:41,500
It's home vas begins.
His list by detailing the story
745
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:45,000
of the lake Lisbeth area
sighting that described a flying
746
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,400
alligator with six legs and like
Elizabeth California near the
747
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,700
early 1800s.
He then goes into outlining the
748
00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:58,100
snallygaster from Maryland and
which he did an entire unless we
749
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:00,600
did an entire episode covering
said creature.
750
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Oldest Ally was very large, had
a horrific sound lived in caves
751
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,800
and mines and the Appalachian
areas of Maryland and
752
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,400
neighboring states as well.
As mostly sighted at night,
753
00:46:11,500 --> 00:46:14,300
could these be different
descriptions of the same species
754
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:17,000
of creature?
After the snallygaster Voss,
755
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,700
then dives into the Jersey
Devil.
756
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,600
And if you haven't heard our
coverage a JD yet, I'm gonna
757
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,100
feel personally attacked as the
two-part episode.
758
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:28,200
Is one of my absolute favorites
I've ever done for the show, but
759
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,800
the last comparison.
No, Voss uses is one that I wish
760
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,700
there was more context on
because I love the legend.
761
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,600
The Stansbury Island creature
Stansbury island is the second
762
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,300
largest island in Utah's.
Great Salt Lake slightly over a
763
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:48,100
thousand miles away and only
about three weeks earlier than
764
00:46:48,100 --> 00:46:51,700
the incident in Van Meter, the
Stansbury Island creature, Was
765
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:55,400
spotted and studied by Martin
Gilbert and John Berry for three
766
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,800
days.
They described it as half bird
767
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,600
and half reptile.
The two Hunters said it had the
768
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,300
head of an alligator, the wings
of a bat covered in scales and
769
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:08,700
had fiercely glowing eyes.
The men witnessed, the creature
770
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:13,100
taking full grown horses into a
nearby cave as they listened to
771
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:15,700
the screams of death as it
devoured its victims.
772
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,600
This, of course, is very
interesting is a very
773
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,200
interesting event when it comes.
The time frame and the distance
774
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,000
away from Van Meter IA.
Iowa, both of which I was not
775
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,800
fully aware of before reading,
Louis fossum belson's book.
776
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,500
Another thing that may seem in
important to some is that this
777
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:38,400
island is only a three-hour
drive to Skinwalker Ranch.
778
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:42,200
Personally, I find this very
interesting as this place has
779
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,500
been known for portals to other
dimensions.
780
00:47:44,900 --> 00:47:47,300
Then you take physical
descriptions and habits such as
781
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:51,400
choosing to live in a cave which
when compared to a mine, it is
782
00:47:51,500 --> 00:47:54,900
Is easy to see the similarities
out of the four options Voss
783
00:47:54,900 --> 00:47:57,000
lays out in this book.
I think this is the most
784
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,100
probable to have been have been
another creature with a famous
785
00:48:01,100 --> 00:48:04,600
visitor of Van Meter.
And another location now, to
786
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,800
move on to other possibilities
that were not pointed out in
787
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,800
this book.
There are a few options that
788
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,900
come to mind immediately in my
opinion, those being Mothman and
789
00:48:13,900 --> 00:48:17,000
a Pteranodon of some sorts.
Let's start with Mothman.
790
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:22,200
Now, this one might might be a
stretch that I admit, but Not
791
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,300
looking at it, even briefly is
not good for a research or
792
00:48:25,300 --> 00:48:28,900
studies.
When we take voss's comparative,
793
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,000
comparative views into
consideration, Mothman has large
794
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,800
Wings half man, half creature
self-illuminating, eyes, and is
795
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,100
commonly believed to have made
the famous TNT site is home.
796
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:43,700
Now, the eyes of Mothman are
said to be red, but does that
797
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:46,200
mean that every creature?
Like the Van Meter visitor, has
798
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,400
to have a white light.
There are tons of species here
799
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,100
on Earth that come in different
colors shapes and Sizes, two
800
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:54,900
others in their family.
Could this not apply to these
801
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:57,900
creatures as well?
Eylem, it seems like a stretch,
802
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,000
but I would check, I wouldn't
check Mothman off the list of
803
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
preliminary with the preliminary
information.
804
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,300
Sorry guys, I can't read today.
The next is the trend on but
805
00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:12,400
let's not get caught up directly
to the Pteranodon itself.
806
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,800
There are met, there were many
different flying reptiles in the
807
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,900
age of the dinos but
specifically, I would like to
808
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:21,400
look at the order of reptiles
known as terrorists.
809
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,800
Korea among these extinct.
Flying reptiles are the plenty
810
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,900
of subclasses of pteranodons
quetzals.
811
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:33,900
Die morphs intro pios that would
fit the description of the Van
812
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:36,900
Meter visitor to a tee.
If it were not for the
813
00:49:36,900 --> 00:49:40,700
self-illuminating light coming
out of its forehead, long beaks,
814
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:45,400
extreme bulk, when referencing
to us blunt horns on their
815
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,300
forearms known as crests, our
foreheads known as Crest vocals
816
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:53,900
thought to And like a loud
scream and The Reptilian body,
817
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:57,600
all have me thinking.
What if these these flying
818
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,200
reptiles had self-illuminating
lights coming out of their
819
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,800
forehead?
Could we really eliminate that
820
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,700
as a possibility?
Lastly, let's dive into the old
821
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:10,100
forgotten, run down, coal mine.
That was the Hub of two decades
822
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:13,200
prior to the visitors.
Visit I know it is a little bit
823
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,100
science fiction e.
But what if a creature long lost
824
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:18,100
to the underground's of the
earth were trapped away
825
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:22,500
underground in large Caverns,
one way it would adapt for
826
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:26,000
survival, would be to create a
form of bioluminescence, just
827
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,700
like the life forms at the
bottom of the deepest darkest
828
00:50:28,700 --> 00:50:31,200
parts of the ocean.
What if a population of
829
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,800
pteranodon work were to be
caught underground for
830
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,200
centuries.
Would they not smell like the
831
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:41,200
sulfur that is found around and
in natural deposits of coal?
832
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:45,700
Yes it's a bit science fiction e
as I said but can we really
833
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:49,700
count it out?
Now we can't.
834
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:54,400
I think that's my favorite.
Favorite theory of Mall.
835
00:50:54,700 --> 00:50:57,200
What the last one.
Yeah I'm driving with that one.
836
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,300
The most.
Yeah I just seems like the most
837
00:51:00,300 --> 00:51:02,700
entertaining and coolest one of
me.
838
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:05,700
Yeah, I like that.
Well.
839
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,100
Jeff, you look like you're
thinking.
840
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:13,500
You stink.
Yeah.
841
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:17,300
Sorry thinking listen and
multitasking Rosen.
842
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:24,700
I don't know man.
The only thing really It seems
843
00:51:24,700 --> 00:51:27,200
like the the bioluminescent
thing is like the thing.
844
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,900
That's The most impossible but
it's really not.
845
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:33,400
I guess, the more I think about
it.
846
00:51:34,900 --> 00:51:39,800
I just depends on how strong
right bioluminescence in
847
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:43,000
creatures that are not in the
deepest.
848
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,500
Parts of the ocean are not that
bright, you know, and it's
849
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:51,600
mostly used as a warning, not
necessarily used for offensive
850
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,200
thing, more defensive thing.
Well, my, I'm kind of thinking
851
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,900
that but also like, what, Jake
brought up, right?
852
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,000
If it's in a mind, they could
Accidentally opened up into a
853
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,700
cavern system, right?
That's just been cut off from
854
00:52:04,700 --> 00:52:08,800
the surface forever, you know.
So like it's possible that
855
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,200
something existed down there and
it has some form of
856
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,000
bioluminescence that we're just
not aware of, you know, and it's
857
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:19,600
some weird reptile or, you know,
mammal creature or something,
858
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,200
you know what I mean?
Like, yeah, it's possible.
859
00:52:23,500 --> 00:52:25,700
It's possible.
Still think it's probably
860
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:29,300
bullshit.
Yeah.
861
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:35,100
I I agree actually, but I think,
you know to what Jeremy said.
862
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,900
You know, we see these fish at
the bottom of the ocean and
863
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:42,000
stuff and the, the
bioluminescence isn't You know,
864
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:47,100
amazingly strong.
But in an area where there's
865
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:51,800
absolutely no light it's like a
it's like a star sticker on a
866
00:52:51,900 --> 00:52:54,900
young kid ceiling where it, you
know, it glows in the dark and
867
00:52:54,900 --> 00:52:58,100
stuff like that.
If you turn on the lights, it's
868
00:52:58,100 --> 00:53:00,500
still glowing.
It just not very you can't
869
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:03,800
really even see it until you
completely shut out all the
870
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,300
lights and then you could put
picking out a room, it's the
871
00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:10,800
brightest thing, right?
Obviously, but I mean, maybe
872
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,300
that there's a reason why this
thing Was seen at night and it
873
00:53:15,300 --> 00:53:19,500
was noticed that it had this big
glowing spot on its head.
874
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:23,100
Maybe it was for you know,
defensive situations or
875
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:25,600
something like that, not
necessarily so that it could
876
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,800
see.
And that would also make sense
877
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:33,200
why you know the maybe I just
kind of zoned out but I think
878
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,000
Jeremy you said that all the
incidents happened at night.
879
00:53:36,300 --> 00:53:39,900
Yes.
So it's nocturnal because that's
880
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,700
what it's used to.
Maybe the light in the daytime
881
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:44,300
is too bright.
Right for it.
882
00:53:45,500 --> 00:53:49,500
So it acts like most animals
that lives living caves right,
883
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:52,500
where it comes out at night,
specifically bats, right?
884
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:59,600
In this circumstance.
But yeah, I mean, especially in
885
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:04,500
1900 1910 1903 and all those
1900's.
886
00:54:04,500 --> 00:54:07,100
It's not like they had, you
know, City Lights.
887
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:11,100
Like we do.
We have all kinds of what's it
888
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:13,400
called when you're trying to
look at the stars and it's all,
889
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,900
you know, deafened by how bright
it is, like the ocean, the light
890
00:54:16,900 --> 00:54:19,600
pollution, thank you.
So, you know, it would be more
891
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,600
or less.
The sun's going down, it's time
892
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,500
to go to bed, you know.
Maybe we have a couple lights on
893
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:29,300
in the house or something like
that, I don't really know when
894
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:33,200
the popularity of electricity
kind of came full swing to wear
895
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,700
smaller towns like that would
have had electricity.
896
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:41,300
But yeah, I mean but I'm sure it
was expensive and all kinds of
897
00:54:41,308 --> 00:54:44,400
stuff so I mean I don't know
it's lined up for me man.
898
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:51,700
It's not still not striking a
huge blow to Nothing that I
899
00:54:51,700 --> 00:54:55,800
stand behind and even still the
the topic of Hollow Earth.
900
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:58,400
You know what?
I just found out recently which
901
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,300
I probably should have known
already during the biblical fret
902
00:55:02,300 --> 00:55:04,700
flood.
Where did the water come from?
903
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:08,700
Check Russian was on the ground.
That's it.
904
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:11,800
It came from underground.
The Earth cracked open in the
905
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,300
flood waters.
Came from underground.
906
00:55:13,300 --> 00:55:18,400
It was raining for 40 days but
the W floodwaters came from
907
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,800
underground.
So then what populated those
908
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,400
Hollow voids or is there more to
that?
909
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,800
And it was just like you know,
the rivers and lakes and oceans
910
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,500
underground.
So even still I think that this
911
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:34,000
is awesome.
The cool topic, you know,
912
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,500
because this is most of the As
we talked about with the
913
00:55:36,508 --> 00:55:39,400
exception, like Bigfoot, I'm
just like, this is ridiculous.
914
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,500
This is crap.
You know, all the sort of stuff.
915
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:46,400
This one's the most likely in my
mind, that it could be a thing,
916
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,700
especially since it's not a
little bit of this, and a little
917
00:55:49,700 --> 00:55:52,400
bit of that, it's not the Jersey
Devil where it's like, multiple
918
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,000
things combine to one.
It's not the Mothman.
919
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,200
It's not all these sorts of
things.
920
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:02,900
It in my mind has a pretty good
description of it.
921
00:56:03,300 --> 00:56:05,800
And you know, maybe the
description was Soph.
922
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,500
It's not a beam of light.
It was just a spot of light but
923
00:56:08,500 --> 00:56:11,100
even still.
That would have been incredibly
924
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:14,500
weird even today to see an
animal that would have something
925
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:16,300
like that.
You know, some form of
926
00:56:16,300 --> 00:56:19,600
bioluminescence of it was
glowing or projecting light.
927
00:56:19,700 --> 00:56:23,400
You know, you might say it was
the same thing because I guess
928
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,600
glowing could be projecting
light, but maybe not spotlight.
929
00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:31,300
All right, I think we're good.
I was just gonna say there's
930
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:34,000
over a thousand caves in Iowa
apparently to.
931
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,500
So, yeah, I mean it was known
for its coal mining, man, I'm
932
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,500
digging the hollow Earth idea to
I went up again.
933
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:47,300
Like there's I think we've
mentioned it on the show before
934
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,900
Jeff brought it up.
There's right Stingrays and
935
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:53,400
whatnot that come from these
underground.
936
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,600
Oceans and through different
caverns and what not I I
937
00:56:57,700 --> 00:57:00,300
Surprised if there's something
in a cave, too.
938
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,600
We pretty cool.
So, here goes the question.
939
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,900
Do we want to make this a long
episode or do we want to make it
940
00:57:06,900 --> 00:57:10,700
too?
We want to make it too because
941
00:57:10,700 --> 00:57:12,200
we're going to record them both
tonight then.
942
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,500
Whoa.
Hold on, bro.
943
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,300
I got, I got three pages left.
We can make this a long long
944
00:57:18,300 --> 00:57:19,100
episode.
Then.
945
00:57:19,300 --> 00:57:21,000
All right, here we go.
Ready?
946
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:23,500
Yeah, I don't want to talk,
okay.
947
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:29,300
All right, all right, all right,
rebuttals on October 5th, 1903.
948
00:57:29,300 --> 00:57:31,400
And article is ran by the Des
Moines.
949
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,300
Daily News, the same paper that
ran the articles by h.h.
950
00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:40,100
Phillips, covering the events in
fan m in his new article that
951
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:43,300
came out a day later than
Phillips last article and
952
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:48,300
Anonymous freelance writer.
Submitted a rebuttal piece of
953
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:51,800
newspaper.
In this short writing the author
954
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,600
describes how Phillips
over-exaggerated the claims of
955
00:57:54,607 --> 00:57:58,200
what was happening in Van Meter.
The author did however, admit
956
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,600
that there were lights and
strange noises scaring the crap
957
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,000
out.
Out of people and mr.
958
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,800
Dunn did shoot the window out of
the bank after being startled
959
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,900
while on guard.
But all these issues were being
960
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:12,400
caused by some sort of robber or
prankster.
961
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:14,700
Now, let's look at this for a
minute.
962
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,800
I would assume that whoever
wrote, this was from Van Meter
963
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:22,000
that I do believe, but to think
this was all done by a person or
964
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,800
group of people who planned on
committing nefarious, acts might
965
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,500
be a stretch.
If this was someone out to take
966
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:33,500
advantage of the town, then they
sure got shot at a lot.
967
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,500
This seems to be true as the
mysterious author.
968
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:40,600
Did mention the use of guns you
would think that after the first
969
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,400
few, they would get the hint
when you take this into
970
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,300
consideration and then add that
mitt that when mr.
971
00:58:47,300 --> 00:58:52,500
Dunn fired, his shotgun Point
Blank out the window at a figure
972
00:58:52,500 --> 00:58:56,500
shining a light atom and how
there was no signs of injury to
973
00:58:56,500 --> 00:58:59,000
be.
And the next day I start to feel
974
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,900
less convinced.
I mean, have you ever seen a
975
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:04,900
human bleed?
We bleed a lot and it doesn't
976
00:59:04,900 --> 00:59:07,600
take much.
You would think that anyone on
977
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,300
the other side of that window
pane that just got blasted by a
978
00:59:10,308 --> 00:59:13,300
shotgun would have a minimum
been cut by glass.
979
00:59:13,700 --> 00:59:17,800
The signs of blood droplets
would be noticeable a day later.
980
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,000
Another article was published
but this time the Des Moines
981
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,300
daily Capital stating again that
this was a hoax brought on by
982
00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:28,300
Phillips.
Now, a To reading this article,
983
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,500
I would say this is more an
article from The View Point
984
00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:36,400
outside of Van Meter than that
is writing to dismiss what they
985
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,900
feel is crazy and unbelievable
nonsense, the opinion by many is
986
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:44,000
that these two articles are from
the same author, but I honestly
987
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,900
disagree.
The writing style is different.
988
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:51,600
The mannerisms used very and the
Viewpoint certainly does not
989
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,400
seem like it came from someone
inside Ground Zero.
990
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,800
Personally, I do not put a lot
of weight.
991
00:59:56,900 --> 01:00:00,600
Into these articles you may but
I don't eyewitness people
992
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,400
everyday unable to see the
truth.
993
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,300
Even if it's right in front of
their eyes.
994
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,300
The first article could have
been written by a person from
995
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:10,100
Van Meter that stayed in their
house during these three days or
996
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:13,000
someone who was a Hermit,
believe it or not, this happens,
997
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:16,000
some people just don't talk to
other people and miss out on
998
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,400
news from the community.
Both, a good thing and a Bad
999
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,500
Thing depending on what
specifically is being talked
1000
01:00:20,500 --> 01:00:22,200
about.
Then some people remain
1001
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:23,900
oblivious to everything going
on.
1002
01:00:25,100 --> 01:00:26,900
All right, guys, what do you
guys think about the two?
1003
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,100
Kohl's.
I'm not a fan.
1004
01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:38,500
It sounds like just not how I
was going to say.
1005
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:39,600
Hate speech.
It doesn't sound like hate
1006
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,500
speech.
It sounds like just hating on
1007
01:00:42,500 --> 01:00:44,300
the story.
Yeah.
1008
01:00:44,500 --> 01:00:47,000
Just like someone who just be
like this is dumb.
1009
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,100
This didn't happen.
You know, people do that shit
1010
01:00:50,100 --> 01:00:54,200
too.
And like I read the articles,
1011
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,300
the book has the Articles and I
didn't want to read the whole
1012
01:00:56,300 --> 01:01:01,100
oracle's Jeff would freaking die
of exhaustion by the time I'm
1013
01:01:01,100 --> 01:01:03,400
done with them so summarizing
it.
1014
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,600
The first one sounds like it
came from somebody in Van Meter
1015
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,600
like they were able to talk
about certain things, certain
1016
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,900
events and go a little bit more
into detail about those events
1017
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,100
none of which is like really
took away from the fact that
1018
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:21,200
this could be a creature.
I think.
1019
01:01:21,300 --> 01:01:24,000
That this was a situation where
that person was just used to
1020
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,200
having people come into town,
that were little shady and, you
1021
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,400
know, bank robberies, and the
old Wild Wild West was probably
1022
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:36,200
still thing back there in 1903.
So I think that's just, you
1023
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,900
know, somebody was comfortable
with the idea of this, not being
1024
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:42,400
some crazy creepy monster.
And then the other article was
1025
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,100
just fucking useless.
It was absolutely stupid.
1026
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:48,100
It was definitely not somebody
from Van Meter.
1027
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,400
So, basically, the first one
could have been, you know,
1028
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,300
someone trying to put the story
to bed so that people would stop
1029
01:01:55,300 --> 01:01:57,700
coming over and trying to
investigate themselves.
1030
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,100
That's true to that.
Could, that could be there could
1031
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:03,200
have been a good chunk of people
that want to go over there with
1032
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,500
guns one to kill themselves
monster.
1033
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,500
I thought it was just the guy
trying to write the story away
1034
01:02:09,500 --> 01:02:13,000
and Explain it somehow.
Hmm.
1035
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:15,400
I like I like Jake's point of
view.
1036
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,700
I didn't think of that that
could definitely have been the
1037
01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:18,500
reason.
What do you think?
1038
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:22,300
Jeff, you hate this story.
Don't, you know, I hate the
1039
01:02:22,300 --> 01:02:24,000
story.
It's just like this part.
1040
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,600
The killer, it looks like it's
like, let's write an article.
1041
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,500
Let's let's do a podcast about
an article that's about an
1042
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:38,100
article.
Okay, I get it, I get it.
1043
01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:40,400
What would you call these
Cryptids?
1044
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,400
The other day Pokemon.
Like you're doing another
1045
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,200
Pokemon episode.
I'll just sit out you fucker.
1046
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:52,000
You'd rather do an episode on a
paper.
1047
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,900
Reporting on a research paper
that someone did that, we have
1048
01:02:54,900 --> 01:02:57,600
no idea who it was.
Yeah, yeah.
1049
01:02:58,700 --> 01:03:00,600
A big deal.
Same stuff but different.
1050
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,600
Same same but different?
Yeah, same same, but different
1051
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:15,700
I'm just saying we I'm sure
about a thousand articles.
1052
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:18,100
Yeah.
All right, let's move on.
1053
01:03:18,100 --> 01:03:19,900
Let's get Jeff the bed.
He's getting cranky.
1054
01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:25,000
I love you, Jeff.
You're good people for Jeffrey.
1055
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,200
All right, misidentification of
known animals.
1056
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:30,900
The first thing that comes to
mind is a person who believes
1057
01:03:30,900 --> 01:03:33,600
in.
Occam's razor is that this was a
1058
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,100
simple case in this
identification.
1059
01:03:35,300 --> 01:03:37,600
You better?
Hold on, it's not that easy.
1060
01:03:38,100 --> 01:03:39,500
What do we know about this
creature?
1061
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,500
That we haven't already gone
over?
1062
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,900
How about the way it moves?
If we look at two moot moments
1063
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:49,100
in these encounters, with the
visitor, we see two very
1064
01:03:49,100 --> 01:03:52,100
specific forms of motion the way
it came down.
1065
01:03:52,100 --> 01:03:54,900
The telephone pole, like a
parrot, and a way it ran on all
1066
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:58,800
fours before flying away.
Let's look at the former first.
1067
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:01,600
There is nothing.
The size reported for the
1068
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,400
creature from Van Meter in the
present world that uses its
1069
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,100
mouth to climb down a pole or
tree or anything the parent
1070
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:11,300
does.
But they dwarf this Beast,
1071
01:04:11,300 --> 01:04:15,100
incredibly and I would find it
very hard for anyone to
1072
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:19,400
misidentifying 8 to 12-inch
parrot with an 8-foot Van Meter
1073
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,900
visitor.
So let's look at the letter the
1074
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,700
the way it moved.
Now only one person saw this
1075
01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:29,000
thing.
Take off after getting down from
1076
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,600
the pole and that was Sidney
Greg.
1077
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,000
Now, remember mr.
White sauce on the pole, but
1078
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,100
after the smell arrived, he was
battling other issues.
1079
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,100
Couldn't focus but let's first
assume that mr.
1080
01:04:38,100 --> 01:04:41,000
Greg was right and it did run on
all fours.
1081
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,300
My first question would be
worthy arms attached through
1082
01:04:44,300 --> 01:04:48,500
Wing like that of a bat or were
these separate appendages
1083
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,300
completely independent of ways.
Animals with wings and four
1084
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:57,000
appendages, do not exist.
That we know of the only way
1085
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,500
they do is in very small flying
lizards, which don't fly but
1086
01:05:00,500 --> 01:05:03,600
rather Glide and in the world of
dragons and Griffin's.
1087
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:07,500
So Ethically, I don't think that
would be the case.
1088
01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,700
So, let's look at animals that
have their arms and wings
1089
01:05:10,700 --> 01:05:14,700
combined, like, birds, and bats.
Then, let's see who runs on all
1090
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:16,800
fours, and we are left with
bats.
1091
01:05:18,700 --> 01:05:21,700
Birds just don't use their wings
as a tool for ground movement.
1092
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,300
But is there a bat that can fit
into the other characteristics
1093
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:29,100
of the Van Meter visitor?
Know, there just isn't, they are
1094
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:32,000
either too small furry, no light
Illuminating from their head and
1095
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,700
they don't use their mouths as a
way to get down telephone poles.
1096
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,700
So, my answer to this question,
could this be a case of
1097
01:05:37,707 --> 01:05:44,600
misidentification of a known
animal is simply just know My
1098
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:49,000
only argument is there are bats
with wingspans up to six feet
1099
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:52,600
and there could have been a
maybe a bigger bat at that time.
1100
01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:56,400
So do you know the rule of
winged creature?
1101
01:05:57,500 --> 01:06:00,500
You know, the rules.
So if this thing was standing
1102
01:06:00,500 --> 01:06:05,000
eight feet tall like mr.
Greg was saying that it stood
1103
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,100
its, its wing size could have
easily been 30 feet?
1104
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,300
Oh yeah, that that I understand.
Excuse me.
1105
01:06:12,300 --> 01:06:15,600
Sorry, that I understand.
And but like I'm just saying
1106
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,800
maybe it was a bat species.
That was around, then that isn't
1107
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,500
around now that we didn't know
about maybe that was just doing
1108
01:06:22,500 --> 01:06:26,200
some weird shit on the telephone
pole, okay.
1109
01:06:26,300 --> 01:06:30,700
It did say that this was, you
know, the high school teacher
1110
01:06:30,700 --> 01:06:33,600
did say that this was probably
an animal that was from before
1111
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,400
there was pre-flood.
And you know as far as we know
1112
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:43,800
there was megafauna pre-flood.
So could there have been Bats,
1113
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:48,000
that were much, much bigger.
I mean, sure, but same time.
1114
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:51,600
I think that they would be
pretty much like the bats we
1115
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:58,300
have now which still the bats we
have now don't really run on all
1116
01:06:58,300 --> 01:07:02,600
fours.
Their joints aren't really
1117
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:09,900
shaped that way in their legs
but even still, I think maybe
1118
01:07:09,900 --> 01:07:12,300
some of them stand.
I'm not 100% sure on this.
1119
01:07:12,300 --> 01:07:13,900
I've seen some pictures of
little flying.
1120
01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:16,900
Foxes that Ken's are was talking
about, so I actually water like
1121
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:20,500
an app ton of.
Videos about bats motion on
1122
01:07:20,500 --> 01:07:23,100
ground.
Yeah, a lot of them, a lot of
1123
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:26,800
them, if not all the ones I saw
move just like a wyvern would
1124
01:07:26,900 --> 01:07:30,300
like from Mark really?
It's like, oh yeah, that's
1125
01:07:30,300 --> 01:07:32,100
where.
That's where art got that
1126
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:38,100
movement from, No Doubt.
Okay, but my killer for bats
1127
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,000
one, they don't have a long as
beak.
1128
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,300
Like this thing.
Did everybody who saw it, right?
1129
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:47,100
Basically described it as having
a very large, be course now or
1130
01:07:47,100 --> 01:07:49,600
whatever it is.
They use, they have like these
1131
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,200
flat faces.
Now, you have that foxbat, you
1132
01:07:52,207 --> 01:07:54,700
know, really big one.
Yeah, I don't know.
1133
01:07:54,700 --> 01:07:57,000
It's exact name.
But face looks like a fox and
1134
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,400
it's got a little bit of a
snout.
1135
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,700
That's the only one.
But I mean even then it's only
1136
01:08:00,700 --> 01:08:03,400
like, four inches.
It's not long.
1137
01:08:03,900 --> 01:08:07,900
Yeah, I'm not.
I'm also not leaning towards a
1138
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:13,600
mistaken identity.
I don't You know, I'm leaning
1139
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,600
towards the tarragon or
something like it because
1140
01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:22,300
truthfully we do know that
parrots do that you know they
1141
01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:24,800
use their beak and they kind of
grab and they shift their legs
1142
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,200
down and they grab further down
in the ship, their legs down and
1143
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,600
stuff like that.
Who knows what sort of other
1144
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:35,800
animals that used to exist?
You know, Put that in quotes if
1145
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:41,600
you want that also did that with
their you know, beaks or their
1146
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,200
mouths.
It's hard to say.
1147
01:08:44,700 --> 01:08:49,500
But yeah I'm definitely on board
with this being of being a
1148
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:55,399
flipping which McCullough do you
know giant flying reptile.
1149
01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:58,899
That didn't go extinct.
You know?
1150
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:03,100
Yeah, I don't know she's cool
hates these Toppers.
1151
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,200
You can see it in his face was
not the Cryptid guy always
1152
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,600
actually I'm just looking at
different lizards because I
1153
01:09:09,608 --> 01:09:13,200
think if anything would be a
lizard it wouldn't be a bat
1154
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,800
reptile and that's what I don't
know.
1155
01:09:16,300 --> 01:09:19,500
President weird cave reptile, it
doesn't ever see the light of
1156
01:09:19,500 --> 01:09:23,399
day and they just happen to pawn
it on accident.
1157
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,100
Yeah, yeah.
But the biggest reptiles we have
1158
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:27,500
on Earth.
Don't fly.
1159
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:31,300
But, you know, it doesn't mean
that that couldn't happen,
1160
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:32,800
right.
I mean, like Jeremy was saying
1161
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,899
there are these lizards I'm
looking at him right here.
1162
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:36,600
You know that?
Well they Glide.
1163
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:42,600
Yeah, that Glide right.
So I mean you could have one of
1164
01:09:42,608 --> 01:09:46,500
these like I said living in a
cave just totally cut off from
1165
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:48,700
the rest of evolution if you
will.
1166
01:09:48,700 --> 01:09:56,400
And Maybe like, I actually
watched a little thing about the
1167
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,600
Komodo dragon.
And that the reason why they
1168
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,900
look so bumpy is because those
are bone protrusions all over
1169
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:08,300
its body, that act like some
sort of a, you know, a shield,
1170
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,300
right?
So I don't know.
1171
01:10:10,300 --> 01:10:12,400
Let's talk about Jeff's Point.
What if there were something?
1172
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,900
The size of one of those things,
which they are the size of
1173
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:18,800
alligators.
They're huge and they can run
1174
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,200
pretty, dang fast.
You can actually get Chase down
1175
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,700
by one and then, you know, get
your arms ripped off, but but it
1176
01:10:25,700 --> 01:10:30,800
has a, it can glide, right?
It has those flaps of skin and
1177
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,300
its sides that protrude out.
That allow it to Glide.
1178
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:36,800
If that was the case, then it
would certainly have to have a
1179
01:10:36,808 --> 01:10:40,700
running start in order to make
that Glide possible.
1180
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,700
Yeah.
Which I would think that the
1181
01:10:44,700 --> 01:10:47,700
description would be different
but that would, you know,
1182
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:51,600
certainly land claim to it,
doing that sort of stuff.
1183
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,500
But again, I don't know if those
things.
1184
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,700
Well they do climb.
I've definitely seen ones like
1185
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:00,400
up higher than they should be
like on top of cabinets and
1186
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,500
stuff but I don't know.
Interesting, are you guys ready
1187
01:11:04,500 --> 01:11:08,400
to move on to my next option?
I'll I got to two paragraphs
1188
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,900
left Jeff.
So that's good for you and I
1189
01:11:10,900 --> 01:11:13,600
think you're going to like these
to these are more up the last
1190
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,400
ones up Jeff's wheelhouse this
one Jeff Jeff will deal with
1191
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:18,800
this.
You'll like this one.
1192
01:11:20,300 --> 01:11:24,900
How about he's in their book.
Louis Voss and Nelson touch on
1193
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:26,700
the subject of
extraterrestrials.
1194
01:11:26,700 --> 01:11:29,000
And I think this is a very
important topic to talk about
1195
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,900
with the Van Meter visitor.
First, let's look at the light
1196
01:11:32,900 --> 01:11:37,300
orbs, white lights, and
mysterious flashes have been
1197
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:40,600
associated with abduction, and
Alien Encounter, since recorded
1198
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,200
history on the subject, lights
are so common.
1199
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:47,300
That I cannot even come up with
one single encounter, where a
1200
01:11:47,300 --> 01:11:51,200
light, whether it seemed to move
independently, or was attached
1201
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,600
to some UFO sorts, but what
about the Caption the creature
1202
01:11:55,900 --> 01:11:59,500
one subject that I need to stop
putting aside is the idea of
1203
01:11:59,500 --> 01:12:02,500
screen memories.
As I reported in many other
1204
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:06,000
episodes, a screen memory can be
one of two things, it could be a
1205
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,900
false memory, put into place by
a being such as an
1206
01:12:08,900 --> 01:12:12,000
extraterrestrial to cover up
certain important details of
1207
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,500
their devious acts.
This is commonly an owl or other
1208
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:19,400
Woodland Critters like dear
squirrel or a scream member can
1209
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,200
also be self-induced.
This means that you can witness
1210
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,500
something so crazy that your
mind.
1211
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,000
Early blocks it from your from
you witnessing it, and replaces
1212
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,500
the image in your memory with
something else.
1213
01:12:31,100 --> 01:12:35,100
Both have been extensively
studied and both seem very
1214
01:12:35,100 --> 01:12:38,000
plausible.
Another aspect that comes.
1215
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,100
That comes common with alien
encounters, is the smell of
1216
01:12:41,100 --> 01:12:46,400
sulfur in the outline of events.
A terrible smell was mentioned a
1217
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,100
few times by different people.
People who have undergone
1218
01:12:50,100 --> 01:12:53,900
hypnotherapy are other
regressive memory techniques and
1219
01:12:53,900 --> 01:12:56,900
have reportedly uncovered, a
hidden alien abduction event in
1220
01:12:56,900 --> 01:12:59,900
their lives.
Often described a putrid smell
1221
01:13:00,100 --> 01:13:03,600
just before and after the
encounter, this is often thought
1222
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,900
to be the way that whatever
these things are that are
1223
01:13:06,900 --> 01:13:10,300
abducting us knock us out before
taking us to whatever.
1224
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:13,200
Wherever and whatever they do to
us.
1225
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:16,900
Oh, V white, who was the man,
who fell asleep in the room
1226
01:13:16,900 --> 01:13:18,700
above his store.
And first saw the creature on
1227
01:13:18,708 --> 01:13:22,000
top of the telephone pole
described after shooting at it,
1228
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,000
that there was an intense smell
that overcame him and Confused
1229
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,200
him.
Could this be the same smell?
1230
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,000
That is associated with
extraterrestrial contact?
1231
01:13:31,100 --> 01:13:33,900
Could this be why every time
someone shot at the thing?
1232
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,400
It didn't faze it at all.
Could it have actually bent?
1233
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,700
Could it have actually been
there?
1234
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Or was it just a A physical
memory place there to cover up
1235
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,900
the actual image of the glowing
orb commonly associated with
1236
01:13:46,900 --> 01:13:50,200
alien abduction stories.
I love this possibility, and I
1237
01:13:50,208 --> 01:13:52,600
believe that it could really
hold some weight here.
1238
01:13:55,100 --> 01:13:59,100
Not a chance.
Are you calling Whitley strieber
1239
01:13:59,100 --> 01:14:02,000
a liar?
Because he smelt cardboard and
1240
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,000
cinnamon.
He did all that that was during
1241
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:10,400
the encounter.
But I mean, not all alien.
1242
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:11,900
Abduction.
Stories is like Whitley
1243
01:14:11,900 --> 01:14:14,100
streamers.
That it's a very unique one.
1244
01:14:14,500 --> 01:14:19,100
It is very very funny.
I really liked him in the least.
1245
01:14:20,300 --> 01:14:22,800
Yeah.
Jeffrey.
1246
01:14:22,900 --> 01:14:24,900
And you think Buddy.
Nah dude.
1247
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:30,500
I mean, if extraterrestrials are
real, and they are coming here
1248
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:33,300
from across the Galaxy, or
whatever the universe, like
1249
01:14:33,300 --> 01:14:38,100
they're not coming in that form.
They're not coming in a form in
1250
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:43,200
the form of a freaking Dragon.
Know they were coming as an orb
1251
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:47,100
guy or I was in or okay.
Maybe maybe.
1252
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,700
What about just like that movie
future War?
1253
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,000
I just watched it again the
other day.
1254
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,900
Where they were passengers on
the alien spacecraft that
1255
01:14:53,900 --> 01:14:57,900
crashed here and somehow got way
down deep underground.
1256
01:14:58,100 --> 01:15:00,600
And then through coal mining,
they released it from the ship.
1257
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,400
Future war.
Huh, could be.
1258
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,400
Yeah, I can guess your watch
that.
1259
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:06,900
Yeah, he should.
It's awesome.
1260
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:11,200
Honestly though, man.
Like the erasing of History
1261
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,500
around that time around the turn
of the century, right?
1262
01:15:14,500 --> 01:15:17,500
Like that, in my mind is playing
a big part in all of this shit,
1263
01:15:17,500 --> 01:15:19,900
right?
Any of these stories that we
1264
01:15:19,900 --> 01:15:24,100
find and that time period, I'm
automatically like, yo, what did
1265
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:26,100
they erase that have to do with
this?
1266
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:30,200
Because if you go deep enough
into like the mud floods and in
1267
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:34,400
the you know, tutorial and all
that shit, you'll realize like
1268
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:35,900
you know, right at the turn of
the century dude.
1269
01:15:35,900 --> 01:15:37,800
Everything that we thought we
knew like we don't even know
1270
01:15:37,808 --> 01:15:40,100
what year it is.
Like we think it's 2023, it's
1271
01:15:40,100 --> 01:15:46,200
probably not it's probably like
10 23, you know, like crazy shit
1272
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:48,900
so.
Well Jeff, you always talk
1273
01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:52,700
about, you know, whenever
someone brings up
1274
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,200
extraterrestrials, you say,
well, yeah, extra Tara.
1275
01:15:56,900 --> 01:16:00,000
Right, right?
So, could these things be from
1276
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:04,000
on the other side, the ice wall,
if it's really quiet and there
1277
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,000
is land beyond the eyes making
sure they can be there.
1278
01:16:07,300 --> 01:16:09,700
The can talk about that in
relation to the hollow Earth and
1279
01:16:09,700 --> 01:16:11,500
stuff, you know.
Yeah.
1280
01:16:11,500 --> 01:16:17,300
All those things apply mean.
That out not a chance of.
1281
01:16:17,300 --> 01:16:18,800
They're aliens though.
All right.
1282
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,800
I just there's so many more
possibilities.
1283
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,500
Did that you jump that these
beings came from across the
1284
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:26,800
universe?
Like, I'm just like, dude,
1285
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,900
there's so many other things
that could, that are more
1286
01:16:28,900 --> 01:16:31,100
realistic than.
Are they flew across the
1287
01:16:31,300 --> 01:16:32,200
universe?
All right.
1288
01:16:32,300 --> 01:16:37,000
Yeah, duh yeah.
Dumbass however, use their light
1289
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,200
to illuminate their way through
the Blackness of space, then
1290
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,700
they probably would be orbs of
light.
1291
01:16:42,700 --> 01:16:45,500
If you can travel the universe,
you probably would be light.
1292
01:16:45,500 --> 01:16:50,300
So I'm With that, I don't know.
What about Ultra terrestrial
1293
01:16:50,300 --> 01:16:54,800
Chef like time.
That's my next section.
1294
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,500
You ready?
All right, Ultra terrestrials
1295
01:16:57,900 --> 01:17:01,900
last one.
All right, while we are on the
1296
01:17:01,900 --> 01:17:04,500
subject of lights and the
unknown.
1297
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,400
I feel like I should point out
the abundance of Lights
1298
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,000
associated with, not only
ghosts, the orbs alien
1299
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,400
abductions, UFO, sightings and
yes, even Bigfoot encounters.
1300
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,200
But rather the Ones associated
with another being one.
1301
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:22,300
That lives in the land Fringe of
our existence and between the
1302
01:17:22,308 --> 01:17:26,500
physical and spiritual Realms.
The one that live in another, in
1303
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:30,500
perceivable, dimension to
humanize, alter terrestrials are
1304
01:17:30,500 --> 01:17:35,400
the one Topic in 40 and topics
that we know the least amount
1305
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:40,200
least about and the best sources
of information on these beings
1306
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,500
are through the works of John
Keel and Jacques Vallee.
1307
01:17:44,500 --> 01:17:48,900
You pronounced it right?
Jacques Vallee these Ultra
1308
01:17:48,900 --> 01:17:52,300
terrestrials come in.
All different shapes and sizes.
1309
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,100
Why is that?
Nobody knows.
1310
01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:58,100
But the best guess is come from.
How the witnesses perceive?
1311
01:17:58,100 --> 01:18:00,800
Or how they wish to be perceived
by the witness.
1312
01:18:01,100 --> 01:18:04,800
And just like all other topics
of the unknown, they are often
1313
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,800
accompanied by various forms of
light for a very, and I mean,
1314
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,500
very brief moment.
I will touch on them as it
1315
01:18:11,500 --> 01:18:15,700
Associates with the van visitor,
from Van Meter, Everything else
1316
01:18:15,700 --> 01:18:18,000
will be saved for future
episode, where we dive into
1317
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,800
subject on its own in the
future.
1318
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,300
First thing, I would like to
point out is the sound that this
1319
01:18:24,300 --> 01:18:27,100
creature made.
It was described as a scream or
1320
01:18:27,100 --> 01:18:31,500
drawn-out, high-pitched howl.
Now, since all three
1321
01:18:31,500 --> 01:18:35,300
terrestrials, as defined by John
Keel live in a dimension without
1322
01:18:35,300 --> 01:18:39,100
time, they communicate in ways
that we cannot perceive and when
1323
01:18:39,100 --> 01:18:41,300
they speak or make sounds, they
end up doing.
1324
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:44,600
So in a way, that sounds very
weird to the human ear They
1325
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,600
attempt to slow down their
voice, which ends up coming out
1326
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,600
as a screeching sound.
Mixed with very fast paced
1327
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,700
speech in a language.
We can understand this has been
1328
01:18:53,700 --> 01:18:55,900
described in encounters with
gray aliens.
1329
01:18:55,900 --> 01:18:58,200
Spirits, Jin, disembodied,
voices.
1330
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:01,200
Yes even Bigfoot as well as
other forms of paranormal
1331
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,300
entities, he'll summarized it
like this, in his famous book,
1332
01:19:05,500 --> 01:19:10,400
The Mothman Prophecies quote,
their rapid fire unintelligible.
1333
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:14,400
Quote language, noted by
Witnesses all over the world as
1334
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:18,800
Being like a speeding up of a
phonograph record could be
1335
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,400
caused by their failure to
adjust to our time cycle.
1336
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:23,500
When they enter our space-time
Continuum.
1337
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:26,300
They are talking at a different
rate because their time is
1338
01:19:26,300 --> 01:19:28,900
different from ours.
When they managed to adjust,
1339
01:19:28,900 --> 01:19:32,300
they have to forcibly slow
themselves down articulating,
1340
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:34,800
their word slowly in a sing-song
manner.
1341
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,200
Now I would like to dive into
their form that they are seen
1342
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,300
in.
Well, specifically, the Van
1343
01:19:40,300 --> 01:19:43,300
Meter visitor, it is said that
the all terrestrials will show
1344
01:19:43,300 --> 01:19:47,500
themselves in forms that We can
comprehend think of what a being
1345
01:19:47,500 --> 01:19:52,400
from outside our Dimensions made
up of XYZ axis and time might
1346
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,500
look.
Like whatever you're thinking is
1347
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:58,200
most likely wrong before May
literally be something we cannot
1348
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,800
perceive.
And with these beings having the
1349
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:04,200
ability of visitors visiting our
Dimension, their physics may
1350
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:08,300
have to play along and the forms
that they take are thought to
1351
01:20:08,300 --> 01:20:10,500
derive directly from the
collective consciousness of
1352
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:14,200
those that witness them This
area of Iowa, in 1903 was
1353
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,800
heavily populated with German
immigrants and the fact alone
1354
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:22,300
brought some very interesting
finds that lu��s Vaz Nelson wrote
1355
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:26,200
about in their book.
The Van Meter visitor in summary
1356
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,100
like many cultures from around
the world, German folklore is
1357
01:20:30,100 --> 01:20:33,500
full of mysterious creatures.
And one said creature, is the
1358
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:37,500
Haber Geiss, which we touched
briefly on in our episode on the
1359
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:41,900
lore of Krampus as is part of
the Austrian law as well in the
1360
01:20:42,100 --> 01:20:45,600
Times of pagans, this Haber
Gaius was known as a spirit of
1361
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,500
fields and crops and was called
up in Fall.
1362
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,500
As part of a celebration to
ensure a good harvest and the
1363
01:20:52,500 --> 01:20:55,800
description of this creature was
a man-sized bird with a blunt
1364
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:58,800
horn on its head.
It made strange sounds and ruled
1365
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:00,800
the dead of night.
Sound familiar.
1366
01:21:01,300 --> 01:21:04,200
What if the visitor was one of
these Ultra terrestrials which
1367
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,300
chose the physical description
of a Haber guys do to the
1368
01:21:07,300 --> 01:21:10,800
beliefs of the people that were
currently living in the area and
1369
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,100
to add just one more?
Or parallel, the visitors Terror
1370
01:21:14,100 --> 01:21:17,100
on Van Meter happened at the end
of September and at the
1371
01:21:17,108 --> 01:21:21,100
beginning of October, the same
timeframe that Pagan Germany
1372
01:21:21,300 --> 01:21:23,900
would be celebrating and
watching out for the Haver guys,
1373
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,700
still not convinced.
What if I were to tell you that
1374
01:21:26,700 --> 01:21:30,200
there was another aspect to
incidents involving supposed
1375
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,500
Ultra terrestrials.
The smell of sulfur.
1376
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,900
The smell that has been
described as fire and brimstone
1377
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,600
around Cemetery.
Guardian Spirits skunk Apes of
1378
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,700
Florida Grey Alien Encounter And
of course our flying monster and
1379
01:21:43,700 --> 01:21:44,800
Van Meter IA.
Iowa.
1380
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,000
That's enough on trestles for
today.
1381
01:21:48,500 --> 01:21:51,000
Maura come on a future episode
of infinite Ravenel.
1382
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:56,800
The end.
So you mean demons that project
1383
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:07,100
themselves as the cult gods of
pagans That's a very yes but
1384
01:22:07,100 --> 01:22:10,900
also much more than that, you
know what I'm saying?
1385
01:22:10,900 --> 01:22:17,600
That's a very like Simple way to
think about that.
1386
01:22:17,900 --> 01:22:19,300
And I don't mean that in an
offensive way.
1387
01:22:19,300 --> 01:22:21,700
I just mean like there is much
more to that.
1388
01:22:21,700 --> 01:22:23,900
Yes, I would say.
That's the Jinn.
1389
01:22:24,100 --> 01:22:26,300
That is the trickster.
We've talked about this before
1390
01:22:26,700 --> 01:22:29,300
so that actually makes a lot of
sense to me, right?
1391
01:22:29,300 --> 01:22:31,900
The demon, this this makes
sense.
1392
01:22:32,700 --> 01:22:34,100
I had a feeling you were going
to like that one.
1393
01:22:34,500 --> 01:22:37,700
Yeah.
That's it, guys.
1394
01:22:37,700 --> 01:22:40,000
That is all that I have about
the Van Meter visitor,
1395
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,700
everything that you can know
about it.
1396
01:22:41,700 --> 01:22:44,800
Everything every angle that I
can come up with has all been
1397
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,500
put on the table, that's it.
You know what this means, you
1398
01:22:48,508 --> 01:22:51,800
know, got to put in our bucket
list items that were going to go
1399
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,500
to.
I guess I can't get out of the
1400
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:57,200
pod cast yet, because we're
going to have to go to Iowa, to
1401
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,200
dig around in all the caves look
for bones.
1402
01:23:01,300 --> 01:23:04,100
Well, cycle suck, because you're
leaving.
1403
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:12,000
I'm telling you if I you know
what that means though, if I
1404
01:23:12,100 --> 01:23:16,200
take a camping trip to Northern
California again and I find any
1405
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,400
sort of Bigfoot track ways and
stuff like that, and find all
1406
01:23:18,407 --> 01:23:20,500
this evidence of them.
And I'm going to have to start
1407
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:24,000
my own show and thank you, tell
me and be like, oh, you said I
1408
01:23:24,008 --> 01:23:29,000
was done with the show.
So you said you were done with
1409
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:30,200
the show.
Yeah.
1410
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,400
And yeah, you guys firm didn't
kick me out.
1411
01:23:32,500 --> 01:23:34,500
Yeah, yeah.
You said I was fired.
1412
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,500
Come back.
Alright.
1413
01:23:36,500 --> 01:23:37,400
Final thoughts.
Kid.
1414
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,700
Let's go with you first since
you didn't talk much today?
1415
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,500
No, I didn't.
I was honestly quite enjoying
1416
01:23:43,500 --> 01:23:50,100
the story.
I honestly like the inner earth
1417
01:23:50,700 --> 01:23:56,200
being hollow Earth theory here
especially because it's a coal
1418
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,000
mining area.
There's lots of caves in the
1419
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,600
area.
It just in my mind.
1420
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:06,100
It just fits and it's it works.
So that's the one I'm going to
1421
01:24:06,108 --> 01:24:11,900
go with I dig it.
When them, let's go.
1422
01:24:11,900 --> 01:24:20,000
Jacob.
I am not going to say that it's
1423
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:26,700
not some cave-dwelling reptile
leaning more towards though,
1424
01:24:26,700 --> 01:24:34,600
that it more likely was maybe
one of five of just
1425
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,800
unextinguishable flying
reptiles.
1426
01:24:38,500 --> 01:24:42,000
Not not necessarily that it came
from the hollow Earth, but maybe
1427
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,500
it just Resided in caves because
in the area is pretty flat or,
1428
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:48,700
you know, nothing really going
on.
1429
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,700
So in order to protect itself,
it would have lived in a cave
1430
01:24:51,700 --> 01:24:56,500
type system and then we have no
idea what dinosaurs, you know,
1431
01:24:56,700 --> 01:24:58,600
had on their, their bodies,
their skin.
1432
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:00,600
You know, what sort of stuff
would it look like with the
1433
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,500
exception of some that have been
discovered, that still have
1434
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:06,500
their skin, but it was more
like, you know, thick plates,
1435
01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:09,800
thick plated scales and stuff
like that where it actually
1436
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:14,000
survived their fault.
Ization and stuff.
1437
01:25:16,100 --> 01:25:19,000
Made it rot away till it's just
bones and it was covered with
1438
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:24,800
sand or whatever.
But yeah, I dig the story.
1439
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,900
I liked being able to, you know,
the way you broke it down and
1440
01:25:27,900 --> 01:25:31,100
being able to kind of just, you
know, talk out my thoughts and
1441
01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:34,900
try to get a handle on stuff.
But I certainly think that this
1442
01:25:35,500 --> 01:25:39,900
more than likely could have been
a real story.
1443
01:25:41,300 --> 01:25:44,600
You know, and that's pretty cool
now.
1444
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,600
Could it be 100% fake?
Sure.
1445
01:25:46,900 --> 01:25:50,800
But you know, in regards to how
it was constructed, the
1446
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,400
description of the Beast and all
that sort of stuff.
1447
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,200
It certainly seems like it would
fit the description of a real
1448
01:25:57,200 --> 01:26:00,200
animal.
Now, is that because as coal
1449
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:08,100
miners in 1903 in Iowa, they
uncovered the remains of a of a
1450
01:26:08,108 --> 01:26:11,200
teardown, you know.
And then Developed a story
1451
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,600
around, it could be right, could
it be?
1452
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,800
Because one Escape From The
Hollow Earth?
1453
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,900
I don't know, could be, you
know, I don't know.
1454
01:26:20,900 --> 01:26:25,000
I don't I don't really have a
handle on it, exactly where it
1455
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,200
came from or what it was but
certainly, it doesn't
1456
01:26:29,300 --> 01:26:31,000
immediately.
Check the blocks of this is
1457
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:35,800
made-up nonsense or folklore.
All right, Jeff.
1458
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:42,800
Final thoughts, interdimensional
Ultra terrestrials, you think
1459
01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:48,900
so, probably or bullshit, Iowa
1903, it's either bullshit
1460
01:26:48,900 --> 01:26:53,500
because it's Iowa, 1903 or
interdimensional time traveling
1461
01:26:53,500 --> 01:26:57,500
Ultra terrestrial demons right
now.
1462
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:11,000
Just pick, pick everything D.
All of the above is complete,
1463
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:17,500
bullshit to dinner.
Was it extraterrestrial.
1464
01:27:17,500 --> 01:27:21,400
Altered terrestrial in the
dimensional time traveling.
1465
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:25,400
Traveling, Ultra terrestrial
demons, wharves, and traveled
1466
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,800
across the universe from the
hollow Earth.
1467
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:36,900
Earth.
Pre-flood, my final thoughts.
1468
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:42,000
This is one of my absolute
favorites when it comes to a
1469
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:47,300
creature in the United States.
This is just a fantastic urban
1470
01:27:47,300 --> 01:27:50,300
legend.
I don't know if it's true.
1471
01:27:50,300 --> 01:27:53,600
I think that this one definitely
has a really good chance of
1472
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,100
being true.
I love it.
1473
01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:58,800
I think that it's great.
The only That bothers me is the
1474
01:27:58,808 --> 01:28:00,100
light on the forehead, that's
it.
1475
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:01,800
Everything else?
Like if the light in the
1476
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,300
forehead wasn't a thing, I'd be
like, dude, this was a trend on
1477
01:28:04,700 --> 01:28:08,500
this was like somehow this thing
lived.
1478
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:12,400
I mean, if you look right now
there are some pictures online
1479
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:16,600
of like old western guys holding
up dead pteranodons, right?
1480
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:21,000
And I want to say, most of them
are probably fake, probably.
1481
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,400
Who knows?
One of them out there out of the
1482
01:28:24,900 --> 01:28:26,900
15 that you could bring up on
the Google search?
1483
01:28:27,500 --> 01:28:29,100
Maybe.
One of them is real, who knows?
1484
01:28:32,700 --> 01:28:34,700
I think that they're definitely
could have been Pockets.
1485
01:28:34,700 --> 01:28:38,700
I mean, shoot, we still get
sightings of pteranodons.
1486
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,800
I mean, people still report
sightings of pteranodons.
1487
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:45,000
It happens, right?
Could there be a small
1488
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,400
population?
I doubt there is any more but in
1489
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:53,500
1903 back when we were very
undeveloped, especially in that
1490
01:28:53,500 --> 01:28:56,400
area, I can see it.
I can see it.
1491
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:02,000
I definitely could I I just
can't get over the light.
1492
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:07,100
The light is the only thing I
just can't, I don't know.
1493
01:29:07,900 --> 01:29:11,400
I like the light because it
gives the Van Meter Pfister its
1494
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,000
image like that is the
personality of the Van Meter
1495
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:16,900
visitor is the light on the for
it, right?
1496
01:29:16,900 --> 01:29:19,800
You can look at anything anybody
that knows anything about
1497
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,400
cryptozoology, right?
You can look at anything and
1498
01:29:23,500 --> 01:29:27,300
you'd be like, oh, it's a A
bird, a big Crow, but it has
1499
01:29:27,300 --> 01:29:29,100
light instead, so that's
supposed to be the Van Meter
1500
01:29:29,100 --> 01:29:32,600
visitor, right?
Well, that's why I said the the
1501
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:37,300
lantern was stuck on a torn.
Yeah, maybe good possibility.
1502
01:29:37,300 --> 01:29:41,700
I mean, everything from them
saying that there was a dull
1503
01:29:41,700 --> 01:29:44,400
horn on its head.
I mean, pteranodons were known
1504
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:49,600
to have crests, I mean
something, some bird still do in
1505
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,900
fact, some some reptiles still
have a small crest.
1506
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,500
It's shoot even Bigfoot Has A
sagittal Crest.
1507
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,700
All right, let me this was it
just makes sense.
1508
01:30:03,700 --> 01:30:07,500
Everything just makes sense.
This was also not something that
1509
01:30:07,500 --> 01:30:10,900
was attacking the people right
now.
1510
01:30:10,900 --> 01:30:12,800
Could it have been fucking with
them?
1511
01:30:13,700 --> 01:30:16,700
Yes.
And I think that's where Jeff
1512
01:30:16,700 --> 01:30:19,900
has some weight here to the
ultra terrestrial idea.
1513
01:30:20,100 --> 01:30:21,900
I don't think it was enough to
terrestrial.
1514
01:30:21,900 --> 01:30:24,100
I don't think that they would
have bothered with anybody in
1515
01:30:24,100 --> 01:30:27,300
1903 and Bumfuck, nowhere.
We're Iowa, you know, Ultra
1516
01:30:27,300 --> 01:30:30,900
terrestrials are kind of there,
they'll come around and
1517
01:30:30,900 --> 01:30:33,300
important times.
Like, when they start up the
1518
01:30:33,300 --> 01:30:38,500
hide hide, Ron collider in
Switzerland, you know, something
1519
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:40,700
like that's when an altar
terrestrials going to show up
1520
01:30:40,700 --> 01:30:44,600
and start fucking with things.
They're probably not going to
1521
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:45,700
go.
Do it in the middle of bumfuck.
1522
01:30:45,700 --> 01:30:49,800
Nowhere 1903 and a small mining
town of the house will keep lets
1523
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,800
you exist outside of time and
that's irrelevant.
1524
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,500
Yeah maybe maybe but what was
important?
1525
01:30:55,700 --> 01:30:58,300
Going on there in 1903.
The thing about Ultra
1526
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:00,500
terrestrials, right?
And they say Mothman is an
1527
01:31:00,500 --> 01:31:07,600
altered terrestrial who comes
around during times of it's a
1528
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:11,500
harbinger of death, right?
The the bridge goes down, Silver
1529
01:31:11,500 --> 01:31:15,500
Bridge, and that separates Ohio
from Point Pleasant West
1530
01:31:15,500 --> 01:31:19,900
Virginia and the Mothman shows
up the Mothman is thought to be
1531
01:31:19,900 --> 01:31:24,500
in an altered terrestrial that
shows up during these things as
1532
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:30,000
like a watcher.
Of history as it's made maybe if
1533
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,800
there's something that happened
out there who knows.
1534
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:42,600
Possibly a thing I'm saying and
I'm saying that the light is a
1535
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,900
fabricated part of the story
just to add Flair.
1536
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,600
You ever hear these stories?
I kind of give them the Mel's
1537
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:54,400
whole test in my brain and I'm
like how like Mel's hole is this
1538
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:58,500
story and this story is really
nothing like Mills whole, right?
1539
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:03,600
Which is which is more than
likely it's real because Mel
1540
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:10,100
whole Mel's hole is as fake as
the day is long and it's just,
1541
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:13,300
you know, so it's like, well
probably has some validity to
1542
01:32:13,300 --> 01:32:16,000
this 24 hours fake, right?
Yep.
1543
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,000
All right.
Well, what do you think
1544
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,500
Travelers?
Do you think that the Van Meter
1545
01:32:23,500 --> 01:32:28,000
visitor is a flush and Bug
Cryptid that we should be
1546
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,100
looking into?
Do you think it was a creature
1547
01:32:31,100 --> 01:32:33,100
from the past?
Do you think it was a creature
1548
01:32:33,100 --> 01:32:35,600
from the stars?
Do you think it was a creature
1549
01:32:35,900 --> 01:32:40,400
from beyond our Dimensions?
Until next time everybody, we'll
1550
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,800
see you right back here.
Next Fork of the infinite Rabbit
1551
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:45,100
Hole.
Goodbye.
1552
01:32:45,700 --> 01:32:49,200
Bye-bye adi��s.
