Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
AM paranormal podcast network. Now Get ready for Strange Things
with Joshua P. Warren. Welcome to our podcast. Please be
aware of the thoughts and opinions expressed by the host
are their thoughts and opinions only and do not reflect
(00:23):
those of I Heart Media, I Heart Radio, Coast to
Coast AM, employees of premier networks, or their sponsors and associates.
We would like to encourage you to do your own
research and discover the subject matter for yourself. M Yeah,
(00:57):
ready to find the wizard of Weird. This is Strange Thing.
I am Joshua B. Warren, and each week on this
show I will be bringing you brand new mind blowing content,
(01:17):
news exercises, and weird experiments you can do at home,
and a lot more. On this edition of the show,
the Wonders of the World, and I will take some
more of your wild questions. This has been fun. You know.
(01:38):
I recently bought a new house and you always hear that,
and I don't make them like they used to. You know,
old houses and buildings were built strong and steady by
those who could afford it at least and it's not
so much the case in in recent times. You know,
houses nowadays are often more cookie cutter and dispose visable.
(02:00):
Same thing with cars. If you have an old car, well,
that thing was probably built sturdy, and when it wears out,
it's easier to work on and repair, since we're dealing
with hardcore, practical mechanical issues that a skilled person can
get hands around. So there is this sort of an
overall sense that as we move forward, as we move
(02:22):
forward as a species, we are producing goods that are cheaper, flimsier,
and thereby less likely to survive or persist into the
distant future. I mean, like today, if you want to
write something, you know, you pound it out on a
(02:43):
keyboard or a little smartphone screen and and that can
be erased in one second if if there's a software
problem or a hacker or an e m P. I
mean it's a very fragile process. Fifty years ago, if
you wanted to write something, it was maybe a bit
more durable. I mean you might put pen or pencil
(03:06):
to paper and that also could be gone in seconds,
though if it were rained on or eaten by the dog,
or went up in flames, as so many historic buildings did.
There's a famous story about Ernest Hemingway's trunk of manuscripts
written on a typewriter that his wife accidentally left at
(03:27):
a train station. He didn't have copies, and those manuscripts
are lost to history. I'd love to find that trunk,
wouldn't you. But you know, our earliest ancestors did something
that very few of us do today. The most skilled
and literate of them took out some kind of chisel
(03:49):
and carved things into stone, like the Rosetta stone. And
by today's standards, I mean, it was grueling work and
that took a long time. And so those you who
could even do it thought long and hard about what
to record and why it was being recorded. Was it
worth the trouble, and why should this message be so
(04:12):
important that it should even remain for people of the future,
unborn people they would never meet. Now, humans nowadays tend
to have a pretty high and mighty opinion of themselves,
since some of us are going into space and to
the moon and Mars, and frankly, I'm personally not sure
(04:33):
if we actually should be focusing on all of that
right now, since we still haven't been able to collectively
overcome our human, tribal and nuclear warfare around the world,
and a lot of that money could be used right
here on earth to help everybody with that. But anyway, look,
that's just how it is now. So the people who
lift thousands of years ago, who had less of what
(04:56):
we might call technology, we're able to p use some
of the most impressive structures ever created. These are things
that lasted, not like the words they are hearing from
me right now, you know, brought to you through a
flimsy micro chip. I mean I'm talking about you know, pyramids, monuments, temples, castles, fourths.
(05:23):
I mean things that today we stare at in sincere awe,
things that we might not be able to replicate for
various reasons, whether it's technical or just societal. So if
you're interested in the concept of ancient aliens, you're probably
you know, you've probably like studied ancient sites like go Beckley,
(05:46):
Tepe and Turkey. But even if ancient aliens did not
help build stuff like that, well, how in the world
did the ancients create such amazing things. Well, the traditional
answer is that it was usually massive slave labor, and
that may be the case, but regardless, I've always found
(06:09):
it fascinating to think about the so called seven Wonders
of the Ancient World. Do you know who assembled that list?
And do you know what all of those seven wonders
were or are? And did you know that there are
(06:29):
updated lists of new wonders of our current world. Well,
in this podcast, I want to take a look at
the seven Wonders of the Ancient World and then look
at what experts have considered the wonders of the world
that you can go to and see right now, Does
(06:52):
that sound cool? Well, here we go. First off, let's
just start with the basics. Let's go to uh, the
all mighty Internet here and see what the seven Wonders
of the Ancient World were or are or maybe it
is in this case you'll see what I mean. Anyway.
(07:12):
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the oldest
known list of this type, documenting the most remarkable man
made creations of classical antiquity. It was based on guide
books popular among ancient Greek sightseers, and because of that,
it only includes works that are kind of located around
(07:34):
the Mediterranean Rim and the ancient Near East. The number
seven was apparently chosen because the Greeks believe that it
represented perfection and plenty because it reflected the number of
planets known in ancient times, that that was five plus
the sun in the moon. Let me pause for a
minute and say seven is actually a very interesting and
(07:58):
perhaps sacred number four for many reasons. I mean, um,
you have I think seven colors in the spectrum. Uh,
seven notes more or less than the musical scale. Doe
ami fosso a lot to you, uh and so um
and you know we have, of course, we talked about
God creating the earth on the seventh day anyway. Um. So,
(08:20):
this particular list of the seven Wonders of the ancient
world was apparently put together by this Greek historian named Herodotus.
And I bet you've heard the name Herodotus before, but
you you might not know who who he was he
(08:40):
was born? Uh, well he was you know, he was
a Greek historian. But I think he was born around
what they called the Persian Empire, probably around Iraq or
something like that, Uh, in the year four eighty four
b C. Okay, So we're talking about a guy who lived,
if if my math is correct, here like wenty five
(09:00):
hundred years ago. Can you believe that. Isn't that absolutely
amazing to just even try to comprehend. Uh. You know
this individual who lived twenty five hundred years ago. Uh,
he traveled quite a bit um And it says here
on his Wikipedia page that he is known as the
(09:26):
Father of History. And he died when he was sixty
years old. And they think it was possibly because there
was a plague going around or something like that. So anyway,
he put this list of the seven Wonders of the
ancient world together. Now, if I ask you what you
(09:48):
think they are, I'm sure everybody knows the first one, right,
because I was. I was talking about this not too
long ago. As a matter of fact, the Great Pyramid
of Giza. Uh. This is the earliest of the wonders
to be completed there, of course, in Egypt, and it
is the only one that still exists in the present day. Next,
(10:13):
we have the Colossus of Rhodes in the harbor of
the city of Rhodes on the Greek island of the
same name. The Colossus of Rhodes was a gigantic statue
of the Greek god Uh. He was like the sun
(10:35):
god Helios and um. So apparently he was standing right
there next to the water, and this thing was one
hundred and eight feet high, about the size of the
Statue of Liberty. Okay, And actually he looks a lot
like the Statue of Liberty because he seems to be
(10:57):
wearing a crown of some kind, you like, he has
he's coming out you know, the sun. He's helios. He's
got a staff in his left hand, and then his
right hand is sort of raised outward. And of course
you think about something like that and you go, wow, uh,
what happened to that statue? That sounds like such an
amazing thing. Well, uh, it turns out that they think
(11:21):
that it was destroyed in an earthquake. And you know
that makes you wonder, well, what, yeah, what happened to
these wonders of the ancient world? Seven of them existed,
only one is around. I'll get into that, and then
of course we'll morph into the new wonders of the world. Hey,

(14:39):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast a M Paranormal Podcast Network. I
am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua pe Warren,
beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is gold and every
(15:01):
night is silver. And yes, indeed it appears to the
Colossus of Rhodes. They're on the uh Well in the
ancient Greek city of Rhodes. Uh An Island of Rhodes
was destroyed by uh An earthquake. Okay, so let's go
next to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon uh in present
(15:24):
day Iraq. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were a remarkable
feat of engineering, with an ascending series of tiered gardens
containing a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and vines, resembling
a large green mountain constructed of mud bricks. Now you
(15:47):
can imagine how amazing that would be back in those
days and that part of the world. Uh, the hanging
gardens name. Okay, well I won't I won't get into
all that. But anyway, so this is part of a
big old palace, right, and so what happened to them,
Well they just say, hey, we don't know. It was
(16:10):
it was amazing, it was majestic, but we don't know
what happened, all right. Uh. Next we have let's hear
the lighthouse at Alexandria and Alexandria Egypt. And uh, this
was a a lighthouse that was Okay, Now, I told
(16:31):
you the Colossus of Rhodes was about the size of
the Statue of Liberty, and that was a hundred and
some feet This thing was three hundred and thirty feet tall,
sitting right there on the edge of this uh Egyptian
area and uh basically, you know, it was destroyed by earthquakes. Uh.
(16:54):
Next we go to the mausoleum at Halacarnassus. Yeah, I
guess that's what I pronounced, that mausoleum at halicarnass did
you know. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention.
I believe that the hanging guard gardens of Babylon were
(17:14):
uh created by Nebuchadnezzer, who in the Bible he uh
he supposedly was punished by a god and had to
live for years in the wild like an animal and
all this kind of stuff. So that's just a side
note anyway. Okay, so back to the mausoleum at halkin Narss.
Uh says here, Okay, we've all heard the name, you know, mausoleum.
(17:38):
We've heard of a mausoleum is a big structure that
you put a body in. And uh it actually though,
that word mausoleum is based upon the name of this
particular guy. Uh. And his name was Mausolus and he
(17:59):
lived there and um, you know, like the the area
around Turkey, you know, they changed these borders and stuff.
But yeah, he was he was like a warrior fella,
and uh, this year. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, he
looks it looks like a typical old fashion Okay, so yeah,
(18:20):
so he wasn't that old. I think he was liking
his twenties when he died, and he was so revered
they built this giant building for him, uh mausolus that
they called a mausoleum. And how do you think that
was destroyed? You want to take a guess it was
an earthquake. Okay. Next we have the statue of Zeus
(18:45):
at Olympia in Olympia, Greece, and this was, um, it
was actually kind of small by the standards of the
ancient world. It was forty one ft tall, and Zeus
was just you know, sort of sitting there in a
big chair with a staff inside of this uh sanctuary
(19:10):
or temple. And apparently a lot of that was built
from wood. And so that caught on fire and burned down,
and then people came in and rated it. And so
the final um wonder of the ancient world. Here is
the temple of Artemis in Turkey, and let's see here
(19:33):
this thing, um it was. You know, Artemis was like Diana.
She was a Roman goddess. She was the goddess of
the hunt and um, a lot of people worshiped her
because she brought good fortune. I think she was one
of the daughters of Zeus. You know, I'm not I'm
(19:54):
not gonna sit here and pretend that I am like
a big historian, but when it comes to Greek odds.
But you know, she was a very important revered figure.
And uh, apparently they they're not sure what happened, but
they say that maybe it was kind of similar to
the Zeus thing where there was a lot of it
(20:14):
made with wood and it caught on fire. Anyway, So
those those are the seven Wonders of the ancient world,
all right. So we have the Great Pyramid of Giza,
the only one still standing, the Colossus of Rhodes, the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum
at Halakarnassus, Uh, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and
(20:36):
the Temple of Artemus, and uh, you know that's in Turkey.
So the Colossus of Rhodes was destroyed by an earthquake,
the lighthouse destroyed by an earthquake, the mausoleum destroyed by
an earthquake. Unless a fire occurs, which is something that
(20:58):
a human could produce. It seems to me that we
might want to consider that these massive achievements from the
ancient world are sort of indicating to us that, no
matter how big and bold and amazing you may think
you are, that occasionally an earthquake is gonna hit and
(21:20):
wipe everything up, and that maybe the earth itself is
kind of like a big dog and we're just the
fleas that it shakes off from time to time. Do
you think that's the case that no matter you know,
people say, oh, the world is going to heck in
a handbasket, Well, yeah, it always has been, and it
(21:42):
always is in some ways. And so you know, everything
has cycles of birth and death and birth and death,
and so, um, look what does this tell us about
the ancient world? Uh? It certainly tells us that those people, um,
they believed that they were as advanced as a human
(22:05):
could be. And so use that to put your own
position into perspective. And yet here we are in our
modern day and there are other lists of wonders of
the world. Okay, like, for example, uh, the American Society
of Civil Engineers in nine said that these are the
(22:29):
new wonders of the world. First one is the it's
in the Strait of Dover and the English Channel, the
Channel Tunnel. Uh. Next is the c N Tower, which
is in Toronto, Canada. Some call it Toronto. I've been there.
It's a big old tower. Uh. Let's see the Empire
(22:50):
State Building in New York, the Golden Gay Bridge in
San Francisco, the Taypou Damn, which is between Brazil and Paris. Way, Um,
this thing called the Delta and Zooderzy Works, which is
like a series of canals around South Holland. It's it's
(23:13):
like around the Netherlands. And then of course the Panama Canal.
So no, no no, not quite as not quite as spectacular.
I mean, like, I'm sure that from an engineering point
of view it is, but it's not as sensational in
many ways. But listen to this. I thought this was
kind of silly. I don't know, I'm probably just I'm
(23:34):
probably just being um, I'm showing that I'm getting old
and out of touch with things. But apparently in November
of two thousand six, USA Today got some judges together
and they said, oh, here are like, uh, some of
the new wonders of the world according to them. Okay.
(23:57):
So one of them is is a palace called Patala Palace,
which isn't Tibet. Okay, great, I don't know what that is.
The next one is the Old City of Jerusalem, which
is in Israel. Okay. Next is the polar ice caps.
All right. I mean, I'm sure that's amazing to see that,
but I don't know if that should be considered a
(24:20):
a wonder of the world. Just I mean, anyway, because
because I guess I'm comparing natural stuff to man made stuff.
But I can't even quite say that because then we
go on to, uh, they have the Internet. The Internet
is one of the wonders of the world. Um. So
(24:42):
you look, I'm not gonna read all this stuff, but
I think that it's interesting when you start figuring out,
like who's going to define this stuff? How you gauge
it somehow? And trip Advisor sent me an email the
other day and they said that they have taken all
(25:05):
of the reviews from the entire world of all the
things that people do when they travel around, and they
have condensed them down into the number one overall experience
that you can have in the world. Now, I own
a number of companies as you probably know. For example,
(25:27):
I own the Haunted Asheville Ghost Tours in Asheville, North Carolina.
We win trip Advisor awards every year. We've done that
for many, many years. I own the Haunted Boulder City
Ghost Tour and Boulder City, Nevada, and um so I'm
always like paying attention to this and trip Advisory. They
(25:48):
sent this email. I got this like two days ago.
Here is it. If you're gonna do one thing before
you die, this is the thing to do. And when
we come back, I'm gonna tell you what that is.
And that's number one. But you know, maybe I'll tell
you a number two, number three, number four. I we'll see,
(26:10):
and then I'll finally get into some of these questions.
I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to strange things on
the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast m pay. We're
a normal podcast network, and I will be back after
these important messages. Don't go anywhere. There's more strange things
(26:37):
coming right up. The art Bell Vault never disappoints. Classic
audio at your fingertips. Go now to Coast to Coast
d um dot com for full details. Okay, folks, we

(27:19):
to Coast am dot com to send us your recording.
That's Coast to Coast am dot com. Welcome back to
(27:54):
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM around normal podcast network. I am your host
Joshua pe Warren and this is the show where the
unusual becomes usual. And trip Advisor says that the number
(28:14):
one experience in the world, okay, best of the best
for two is an Amsterdam open boat canal cruise. So
you go to Amsterdam and you're get in the boat
and you cruise the canals. All right, sounds fun, Okay.
(28:35):
Number two go to Dubai and uh you can take
like a four wheeler around the dunes. Number three is
a tour of the shore in uh Honolulu, Hawaii. Uh.
Number four is in Aruba where you just you know,
get up like jump in the water anyway, Like I'm
(28:59):
not gotta read all this to you because you know
they and they have stuff on there like uh oh
climbed to Mount Machu Picchu. Well, I don't think I'm
gonna be doing that, uh anytime soon. Um, this looks cool.
Number twelve hot air balloon ride in Luxe or Egypt. Yeah,
my dad recently had his seventieth birthday, by the way,
(29:23):
and so I went to visit him in Asheville, North Carolina,
and uh, my dad wanted to climb actually Isai climbed.
He wanted to walk up to Kleingman's dome and uh
and he you know, he he did it. Uh. He
has had like three heart attacks and a stroke and
all kinds of stuff, but he did it and had
(29:44):
a great time. And I think he probably was h
he had more breath than I did at the end
of that. I gotta I gotta work out a little
bit more. Okay. So, but what's also kind of interesting
about this list is there are some things here that
or um kind of close to me, like, there's a
four wheeler thing you can do in Las Vegas that
(30:04):
takes you out into the desert, and then there's a
cave thing in Puerto Rico, which cave and river trip,
and I have no doubt that that is a very
special fun thing. So um, I I would like to
be able to tell you that one of my tours
(30:26):
became a part of the list for the top thing
to do in the world. Yeah, I'm just kidding. But anyway,
so think about the context. I guess that's what I'm
trying to tell you here. Think about the ancient world
and the modern world and how much things have changed
and what you place value on. And also, I mean,
(30:49):
the wonders of the ancient world were I think wondrous
because that they were. They were man made. And I
don't think you should include natural wonders because everything is natural,
if you I mean, like technically everything is natural. But anyway,
(31:14):
why split hairs? Right? I have a question here from Bunny.
She says, what is the most haunted place you have encountered? Well,
you know, I told you recently on this show about
my experiences at Myrtle's Plantation, the very Haunted night and
(31:35):
the Haunted Room, the General David Bradford sweet that I had.
And if you go to Joshua Pee Warren dot com
and click around there, you'll be able to find video
footage of what I what I experienced that night. Thank
goodness I got it on video or a lot of
people would not even believe it. But you know, I
(31:57):
think that the trip of a lifetime for me, um
was when I went to Transylvania in Romania a boy
that I love every minute of that, and um, I
went to investigate all of lad the Impaler's castles and
you know, places where he hung out, in places where
he was imprisoned, and a lot of strange stuff happened.
(32:20):
There were shadow figures, uh, which I'm going to talk
more about on a future podcast by the way, and
UH figure like like ghostly apparitions that would break up
laser lights, Uh, rocks and pebbles being tossed at us,
people being touched. Um. I mean if if if you
(32:42):
got to Transylvania, it's like duh, you know you're gonna
run to some ghosts there. Uh. Jack says, how does
the magneto sphere play apart in ghost manifestations? Well, the
magneto sphere is this big magnetic field that surrounds the
Earth and it words the Earth to some extent, uh,
(33:04):
from all of the incredible energetic radiation that's that's coming
in from the cosmos. And anything that happens in life
requires a battery, a power source. Can You have to
have a battery. So anytime something happens of any kind,
there has to be power, there has to be a battery.
(33:26):
And so the magnetosphere is this this uh, sort of fluctuating, flexual, flexible,
kind of fluid boundary around the Earth, and uh, it's
always sort of shifting and changing and morphing. And so
at times when the magneto sphere happens to sort of
dip a little bit and more energy can come in
(33:49):
from the cosmos, you generally get more activity, more action,
and that of course means yes, more paranormal stuff. And so, uh,
the interface that we have with other dimensions, other realms
is to some degree dependent upon the state of the
(34:13):
magnetos sphere, because when the magneto sphere is thick, places
are not being energized enough. When it's thin, they're being
energized more. And when it's really thin, you get stuff
like the Aurora borealis and the Aurora Australia's which everybody
can see, you know, so uh you can almost think
(34:35):
that maybe some examples of ghostly encounters are people who
are getting a glimpse of of things like the the
auroras on on a smaller level. Uh. Tom asked, have
you had any strange occurrences with the Art Bell alien
that you have acquired? Uh? You know, if if you're
(34:57):
brand new to this, UM, I've I've talked about this
plenty on the past podcast, but I am the very
proud owner of one of my most important charms, if
you will. It's a four or five ft wooden statue
of an alien that was in Art Bell's studio. He
(35:20):
he's on video hugging it. Um. He talked about it
a lot and Art absolutely loved this alien. And uh, yeah,
it's now at my house. I used to have it
in a museum, but I keep you here at my house.
When I first got the alien, UM, I put it
in the museum that first night in Asheville. Like it
(35:44):
came from Nevada, and at that time I was in
North Carolina, and uh it moved. I came in the
next morning, and I found that that the statue was
in a different position, and I was, I mean, like
absolutely dumbfounded of this. Uh So I put a camera
on him and I watched him again, and he never moved.
(36:06):
After that. Art Bell said that he wanted to get
rid of the alien because he loved it. But he
said that his wife and daughter claimed it was coming
to life at night and moving around. And I think
that there is something to that, because it was in
a different position um the next day after I got
(36:28):
it and put it in my museum. But since then,
the alien has not moved and nothing weird has happened
around him. His name is Carville. As a matter of fact,
if you go to art Bell Alien dot com art
bell alien dot com, you can read the entire history
of the statue and uh see his provenance and why
(36:51):
he's named Carville and all that kind of thing. And
I think he's brought me a lot of good fortune
because since I've had him, my life has just gotten
better and better and better. And and now here I am,
you know, uh, part of a coast to coast a
am hosting jigs. So um, one guy came to a
(37:11):
conference that I did, and he said, why don't you
put these rollers on him to help him move a
little bit and you know, you know, to accentuate this.
But honestly, UM, I think that's a cool idea, but
I kind of don't. I mean, I have too much
respect for the statue to kind of mess to mess
(37:33):
with him, you know, and and and I'd hate to
see him roll a little too much and maybe get damaged. Okay,
here's here's a question from a real fan, a long
long time fan, Joshua Dandy. Um. I used to host
this show for many years called Speaking of Strange, and
(37:57):
one time my producer Forest Connor, he inexplicably disappeared and
he was gone for a while, and we didn't really
talk about what he was up to, and and to
be honest with you, I don't even remember exactly what
I said about that, Um. But then you know, Forest
(38:21):
came back, and I think we just kind of moved
along as as if it never happened. So when we
come back from this break, I'm going to tell you
what what I can recall about what actually happened when
producer Forest Connor disappeared when I was doing the Speaking
of Strange show, and then I'm also going to read, uh,
(38:43):
at least one or two emails from you. I got
this email from this lady, and uh, let me see
where does she lives. I'm not sure she lives. I
get so many emails. It's it's amazing, you know, you know,
I read every email. I can't respond to every email,
but I read them all. And she told me a
story about something that happened to her when she began
(39:07):
using a technique that she learned about on this show
with one of the products that I have on my website,
my Curiosity Shop. Oh yeah, and I have I have
another update for you about good fortune and powerful manifestation.

(41:16):
final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast Stadium para normal
podcast network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and
I will end this show as I often do, by
playing the good Fortune Tone. But I just want you
(41:38):
to know that so many people have had such great experiences,
such good luck just from meditating on that tone. Uh
that days ago. I I got up with this like
audio distributor company, and they they put it on um
(42:03):
let's see Spotify and Apple Music and iTunes and YouTube
and so how that kind of works. Is all you
have to do is type in Joshua pe Warren a
good Fortune tone on your favorite platform and you will
find versions of it that you can listen to and
(42:25):
just sort of meditate on. One of them is five
minutes uh long, the other is ten minutes long, and
then the longest one is thirty minutes long. And the
other night, before I went to sleep, I put on
the thirty minute one and I fell asleep to that,
but I had it on a loop, so I don't know.
I probably slept listening to that for a couple of hours,
(42:48):
and something uh unbelievable like happened to be the next day,
something really really good And I don't want to tell
you what it is yet because it's the details are
not one percent tied up, but like, against all odds,
something really really cool happened, and UM, so you you
(43:09):
should try that out. It's I mean it's I guess
it's free, um on most of those platforms. I'm not sure,
but anyway, go to Joshua Pe. We'll just go to
your platform and look for Joshua Pe Warren and the
Good Fortune tone and listen to one of those versions
and just try falling asleep to it and and see
what happens to you. Okay, Um, all right, So back
(43:34):
to this is kind of like an insider's question thing
from Joshua Dindy. Yeah, what happened the time that Forrest
Connor disappeared back when I was doing, um, speaking of Strange,
which I did for gosh like fifteen years on news
radio five seventy w w n C, the Talk of
the Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina. So here's the truth, Joshua.
(43:59):
I don't remember exactly what I said about that situation,
but and I talked to Forest about this before I
I addressed it here in this podcast, and he's cool
with what I'm about to tell you. Forest got into
a romantic relationship that was doomed, and um, you know,
(44:24):
it's like the same old story. Yeah, it was all
you know, everything was all fun and happy and giddy
for a long time, and then it went through that arc.
And then so he got deeper and deeper. Uh, and
this relationship and um, he ended up sort of you know,
he moved away. He moved actually to the opposite end
of the state of North Carolina, and we were still
(44:44):
trying to work together, um, and like a long distance
and this relationship was, you know, it was falling apart, uh,
and it was, um, it was kind of you know,
driving him nuts. And you have to understand that when
you work in the media, when you work in show business. UM,
(45:10):
it's kind of weird because if you work at like
a regular job where you just encounter one customer after another. Um,
if something happens in your life and you don't show
up or whatever, I mean, people forget about that pretty quickly.
But in this field, we talked to thousands, if not
(45:33):
millions of people every day, and people, you know, they
get used to that, and then when somebody disappears, they go,
what happened? What happened? And uh, so again I really
don't remember what I said. I'm sure that I just
sort of glazed over it and tried to make it
(45:53):
a little more mysterious than it was. But um, he
just needed to take to take some time out as
he was dealing with that uh relationship that was that
was gonna fail. And uh that's the truth, okay. Uh.
And by the way, Joshua, you've always been a great
fan and a hell of a researcher, and thank you
(46:15):
for all the fun stuff that you have brought to
my programming over the years. And your wife is such
an artistic lady that Um, as you know, my wife
Lauren has one of her favorite uh dolls if we
want to call it that and that she carries around
(46:38):
all the time created by your wife. So that's cool,
all right. Listen to this email I got here from
oh you vonn okay. So, she says, I have written
to you before about the amazing results I have received
using the bad Buster the psionic De materializer that is,
(47:04):
by the way, on my website. If you go to
the Curiosity shop, you'll see the bad Buster or the
psionic De materializer. She says. I heard you talking about
the amazing prayer board, and even though it was a splurge,
it was also on sale and I decided I needed
(47:24):
to have it. So long story short, because I know
you're busy. I started using it faithfully, praying for this
intention and that, and I was getting pretty good results.
I mean nothing big, just little things that were nitpicky
things bothering me, that kind of stuff. Well, of course,
little things turned into big things, and I found myself
(47:48):
in a position of owing over two thousand dollars that
need to be paid quickly. I didn't have two thousand
dollars or anything near it, so I figured I would
have to be making payments if they would let me. Well,
suddenly the lightbulb went off over my head, and I
(48:08):
decided I would use my miraculous prayer board and ask
for help. I didn't even ask for a specific amount. Now,
I swear to you by everything that I that I
love and believe in the very next day, I went
to my mailbox and inside was a check from New
(48:29):
York State, a tax rebate for property taxes. I had
no idea I was getting it, or even that I
was entitled to it, but I think the amount might
interest you, because it was amazing and knocked me off
my feet and left me laughing and crying for two hours.
(48:53):
The exact amount of the check was one thousand, nine
hundred and nine dollars and sixty one Since since I
had already paid some towards the debt, this wiped it
out completely. There was even a little money left over.
I don't know how this prayer board works. I just
(49:15):
know that it does work, and it works quickly when
it knows that you really really need help. She goes
on to say, I really believe you are sharing precious
gifts with all of us, and I thank you from
my heart. Yvonne, Yvonne, you know what. That's why I
(49:40):
do this, honestly, you know, I could. I could close
up shop and retire right now. You know, I've I've
been I've been working for a long long time and uh,
I've got a lot of interesting projects out there, and
I've been pretty smart with my money, and I could
(50:01):
just close up shop. But it's it's it's emails like
yours that keep me going, you know, to keep me
doing this show. And I hope that all of you
who are listening well also, you know, sort of remember
that if you like this show and you want me
to keep doing it, um, then you have to share
(50:22):
it with everybody and tell everybody to listen to And
why wouldn't you, because you know, the great thing about
this program is that it's free. You can hear it
all over the place. And I intentionally do not put
negative stuff in your head. You should know that if
(50:44):
you listen to me, and you've listened to me for
a while, you'll see I don't do that. I only
put interesting, weird, fascinating, quirky and positive, actually empowering stuff
in to your to your head. Um, And that's my mission,
that's my purpose, and that's what I'm going to continue
(51:06):
to do. But I'll only do it as long as
you keep listening and you share it with all your friends,
and you also have to go to my website and uh,
you know, buy something and support me. Okay, that's that's
how this all works because I give a lot of
money to charity as well. And uh, every time you
spend some bucks at Joshua pee Warren dot com, Uh,
(51:28):
he goes a part of it, he goes to some Actually,
all of it goes to some really good causes. I
was gonna say a part of it might go to
some whiskyer so now and I'm joking. Okay, my friends,
here you go. Relax if you can, close your eyes,
take a deep breath. Here is the good Fortune tone.

Welcome to the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast
AM paranormal podcast network. Now Get ready for Strange Things
with Joshua P. Warren. Welcome to our podcast. Please be
aware of the thoughts and opinions expressed by the host

We would like to encourage you to do your own
research and discover the subject matter for yourself. M Yeah,
(00:57):
ready to find the wizard of Weird. This is Strange Thing.
I am Joshua B. Warren, and each week on this
show I will be bringing you brand new mind blowing content,
(01:17):
news exercises, and weird experiments you can do at home,
and a lot more. On this edition of the show,
the Wonders of the World, and I will take some
more of your wild questions. This has been fun. You know.
(01:38):
I recently bought a new house and you always hear that,
and I don't make them like they used to. You know,
old houses and buildings were built strong and steady by
those who could afford it at least and it's not
so much the case in in recent times. You know,
houses nowadays are often more cookie cutter and dispose visable.
(02:00):
Same thing with cars. If you have an old car, well,
that thing was probably built sturdy, and when it wears out,
it's easier to work on and repair, since we're dealing
with hardcore, practical mechanical issues that a skilled person can
get hands around. So there is this sort of an
overall sense that as we move forward, as we move
(02:22):
forward as a species, we are producing goods that are cheaper, flimsier,
and thereby less likely to survive or persist into the
distant future. I mean, like today, if you want to
write something, you know, you pound it out on a
(02:43):
keyboard or a little smartphone screen and and that can
be erased in one second if if there's a software
problem or a hacker or an e m P. I
mean it's a very fragile process. Fifty years ago, if
you wanted to write something, it was maybe a bit
more durable. I mean you might put pen or pencil
(03:06):
to paper and that also could be gone in seconds,
though if it were rained on or eaten by the dog,
or went up in flames, as so many historic buildings did.
There's a famous story about Ernest Hemingway's trunk of manuscripts
written on a typewriter that his wife accidentally left at
(03:27):
a train station. He didn't have copies, and those manuscripts
are lost to history. I'd love to find that trunk,
wouldn't you. But you know, our earliest ancestors did something
that very few of us do today. The most skilled
and literate of them took out some kind of chisel
(03:49):
and carved things into stone, like the Rosetta stone. And
by today's standards, I mean, it was grueling work and
that took a long time. And so those you who
could even do it thought long and hard about what
to record and why it was being recorded. Was it
worth the trouble, and why should this message be so
(04:12):
important that it should even remain for people of the future,
unborn people they would never meet. Now, humans nowadays tend
to have a pretty high and mighty opinion of themselves,
since some of us are going into space and to
the moon and Mars, and frankly, I'm personally not sure
(04:33):
if we actually should be focusing on all of that
right now, since we still haven't been able to collectively
overcome our human, tribal and nuclear warfare around the world,
and a lot of that money could be used right
here on earth to help everybody with that. But anyway, look,
that's just how it is now. So the people who
lift thousands of years ago, who had less of what
(04:56):
we might call technology, we're able to p use some
of the most impressive structures ever created. These are things
that lasted, not like the words they are hearing from
me right now, you know, brought to you through a
flimsy micro chip. I mean I'm talking about you know, pyramids, monuments, temples, castles, fourths.
(05:23):
I mean things that today we stare at in sincere awe,
things that we might not be able to replicate for
various reasons, whether it's technical or just societal. So if
you're interested in the concept of ancient aliens, you're probably
you know, you've probably like studied ancient sites like go Beckley,
(05:46):
Tepe and Turkey. But even if ancient aliens did not
help build stuff like that, well, how in the world
did the ancients create such amazing things. Well, the traditional
answer is that it was usually massive slave labor, and
that may be the case, but regardless, I've always found
(06:09):
it fascinating to think about the so called seven Wonders
of the Ancient World. Do you know who assembled that list?
And do you know what all of those seven wonders
were or are? And did you know that there are
(06:29):
updated lists of new wonders of our current world. Well,
in this podcast, I want to take a look at
the seven Wonders of the Ancient World and then look
at what experts have considered the wonders of the world
that you can go to and see right now, Does
(06:52):
that sound cool? Well, here we go. First off, let's
just start with the basics. Let's go to uh, the
all mighty Internet here and see what the seven Wonders
of the Ancient World were or are or maybe it
is in this case you'll see what I mean. Anyway.
(07:12):
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the oldest
known list of this type, documenting the most remarkable man
made creations of classical antiquity. It was based on guide
books popular among ancient Greek sightseers, and because of that,
it only includes works that are kind of located around
(07:34):
the Mediterranean Rim and the ancient Near East. The number
seven was apparently chosen because the Greeks believe that it
represented perfection and plenty because it reflected the number of
planets known in ancient times, that that was five plus
the sun in the moon. Let me pause for a
minute and say seven is actually a very interesting and
(07:58):
perhaps sacred number four for many reasons. I mean, um,
you have I think seven colors in the spectrum. Uh,
seven notes more or less than the musical scale. Doe
ami fosso a lot to you, uh and so um
and you know we have, of course, we talked about
God creating the earth on the seventh day anyway. Um. So,
(08:20):
this particular list of the seven Wonders of the ancient
world was apparently put together by this Greek historian named Herodotus.
And I bet you've heard the name Herodotus before, but
you you might not know who who he was he
(08:40):
was born? Uh, well he was you know, he was
a Greek historian. But I think he was born around
what they called the Persian Empire, probably around Iraq or
something like that, Uh, in the year four eighty four
b C. Okay, So we're talking about a guy who lived,
if if my math is correct, here like wenty five
(09:00):
hundred years ago. Can you believe that. Isn't that absolutely
amazing to just even try to comprehend. Uh. You know
this individual who lived twenty five hundred years ago. Uh,
he traveled quite a bit um And it says here
on his Wikipedia page that he is known as the
(09:26):
Father of History. And he died when he was sixty
years old. And they think it was possibly because there
was a plague going around or something like that. So anyway,
he put this list of the seven Wonders of the
ancient world together. Now, if I ask you what you
(09:48):
think they are, I'm sure everybody knows the first one, right,
because I was. I was talking about this not too
long ago. As a matter of fact, the Great Pyramid
of Giza. Uh. This is the earliest of the wonders
to be completed there, of course, in Egypt, and it
is the only one that still exists in the present day. Next,
(10:13):
we have the Colossus of Rhodes in the harbor of
the city of Rhodes on the Greek island of the
same name. The Colossus of Rhodes was a gigantic statue
of the Greek god Uh. He was like the sun
(10:35):
god Helios and um. So apparently he was standing right
there next to the water, and this thing was one
hundred and eight feet high, about the size of the
Statue of Liberty. Okay, And actually he looks a lot
like the Statue of Liberty because he seems to be
(10:57):
wearing a crown of some kind, you like, he has
he's coming out you know, the sun. He's helios. He's
got a staff in his left hand, and then his
right hand is sort of raised outward. And of course
you think about something like that and you go, wow, uh,
what happened to that statue? That sounds like such an
amazing thing. Well, uh, it turns out that they think
(11:21):
that it was destroyed in an earthquake. And you know
that makes you wonder, well, what, yeah, what happened to
these wonders of the ancient world? Seven of them existed,
only one is around. I'll get into that, and then
of course we'll morph into the new wonders of the world. Hey,

(14:39):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast a M Paranormal Podcast Network. I
am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua pe Warren,
beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is gold and every
(15:01):
night is silver. And yes, indeed it appears to the
Colossus of Rhodes. They're on the uh Well in the
ancient Greek city of Rhodes. Uh An Island of Rhodes
was destroyed by uh An earthquake. Okay, so let's go
next to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon uh in present
(15:24):
day Iraq. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were a remarkable
feat of engineering, with an ascending series of tiered gardens
containing a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and vines, resembling
a large green mountain constructed of mud bricks. Now you
(15:47):
can imagine how amazing that would be back in those
days and that part of the world. Uh, the hanging
gardens name. Okay, well I won't I won't get into
all that. But anyway, so this is part of a
big old palace, right, and so what happened to them,
Well they just say, hey, we don't know. It was
(16:10):
it was amazing, it was majestic, but we don't know
what happened, all right. Uh. Next we have let's hear
the lighthouse at Alexandria and Alexandria Egypt. And uh, this
was a a lighthouse that was Okay, Now, I told
(16:31):
you the Colossus of Rhodes was about the size of
the Statue of Liberty, and that was a hundred and
some feet This thing was three hundred and thirty feet tall,
sitting right there on the edge of this uh Egyptian
area and uh basically, you know, it was destroyed by earthquakes. Uh.
(16:54):
Next we go to the mausoleum at Halacarnassus. Yeah, I
guess that's what I pronounced, that mausoleum at halicarnass did
you know. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention.
I believe that the hanging guard gardens of Babylon were
(17:14):
uh created by Nebuchadnezzer, who in the Bible he uh
he supposedly was punished by a god and had to
live for years in the wild like an animal and
all this kind of stuff. So that's just a side
note anyway. Okay, so back to the mausoleum at halkin Narss.
Uh says here, Okay, we've all heard the name, you know, mausoleum.
(17:38):
We've heard of a mausoleum is a big structure that
you put a body in. And uh it actually though,
that word mausoleum is based upon the name of this
particular guy. Uh. And his name was Mausolus and he
(17:59):
lived there and um, you know, like the the area
around Turkey, you know, they changed these borders and stuff.
But yeah, he was he was like a warrior fella,
and uh, this year. Yeah, here we go. Yeah, he
looks it looks like a typical old fashion Okay, so yeah,
(18:20):
so he wasn't that old. I think he was liking
his twenties when he died, and he was so revered
they built this giant building for him, uh mausolus that
they called a mausoleum. And how do you think that
was destroyed? You want to take a guess it was
an earthquake. Okay. Next we have the statue of Zeus
(18:45):
at Olympia in Olympia, Greece, and this was, um, it
was actually kind of small by the standards of the
ancient world. It was forty one ft tall, and Zeus
was just you know, sort of sitting there in a
big chair with a staff inside of this uh sanctuary
(19:10):
or temple. And apparently a lot of that was built
from wood. And so that caught on fire and burned down,
and then people came in and rated it. And so
the final um wonder of the ancient world. Here is
the temple of Artemis in Turkey, and let's see here
(19:33):
this thing, um it was. You know, Artemis was like Diana.
She was a Roman goddess. She was the goddess of
the hunt and um, a lot of people worshiped her
because she brought good fortune. I think she was one
of the daughters of Zeus. You know, I'm not I'm
(19:54):
not gonna sit here and pretend that I am like
a big historian, but when it comes to Greek odds.
But you know, she was a very important revered figure.
And uh, apparently they they're not sure what happened, but
they say that maybe it was kind of similar to
the Zeus thing where there was a lot of it
(20:14):
made with wood and it caught on fire. Anyway, So
those those are the seven Wonders of the ancient world,
all right. So we have the Great Pyramid of Giza,
the only one still standing, the Colossus of Rhodes, the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum
at Halakarnassus, Uh, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and
(20:36):
the Temple of Artemus, and uh, you know that's in Turkey.
So the Colossus of Rhodes was destroyed by an earthquake,
the lighthouse destroyed by an earthquake, the mausoleum destroyed by
an earthquake. Unless a fire occurs, which is something that
(20:58):
a human could produce. It seems to me that we
might want to consider that these massive achievements from the
ancient world are sort of indicating to us that, no
matter how big and bold and amazing you may think
you are, that occasionally an earthquake is gonna hit and
(21:20):
wipe everything up, and that maybe the earth itself is
kind of like a big dog and we're just the
fleas that it shakes off from time to time. Do
you think that's the case that no matter you know,
people say, oh, the world is going to heck in
a handbasket, Well, yeah, it always has been, and it
(21:42):
always is in some ways. And so you know, everything
has cycles of birth and death and birth and death,
and so, um, look what does this tell us about
the ancient world? Uh? It certainly tells us that those people, um,
they believed that they were as advanced as a human
(22:05):
could be. And so use that to put your own
position into perspective. And yet here we are in our
modern day and there are other lists of wonders of
the world. Okay, like, for example, uh, the American Society
of Civil Engineers in nine said that these are the
(22:29):
new wonders of the world. First one is the it's
in the Strait of Dover and the English Channel, the
Channel Tunnel. Uh. Next is the c N Tower, which
is in Toronto, Canada. Some call it Toronto. I've been there.
It's a big old tower. Uh. Let's see the Empire
(22:50):
State Building in New York, the Golden Gay Bridge in
San Francisco, the Taypou Damn, which is between Brazil and Paris. Way, Um,
this thing called the Delta and Zooderzy Works, which is
like a series of canals around South Holland. It's it's
(23:13):
like around the Netherlands. And then of course the Panama Canal.
So no, no no, not quite as not quite as spectacular.
I mean, like, I'm sure that from an engineering point
of view it is, but it's not as sensational in
many ways. But listen to this. I thought this was
kind of silly. I don't know, I'm probably just I'm
(23:34):
probably just being um, I'm showing that I'm getting old
and out of touch with things. But apparently in November
of two thousand six, USA Today got some judges together
and they said, oh, here are like, uh, some of
the new wonders of the world according to them. Okay.
(23:57):
So one of them is is a palace called Patala Palace,
which isn't Tibet. Okay, great, I don't know what that is.
The next one is the Old City of Jerusalem, which
is in Israel. Okay. Next is the polar ice caps.
All right. I mean, I'm sure that's amazing to see that,
but I don't know if that should be considered a
(24:20):
a wonder of the world. Just I mean, anyway, because
because I guess I'm comparing natural stuff to man made stuff.
But I can't even quite say that because then we
go on to, uh, they have the Internet. The Internet
is one of the wonders of the world. Um. So
(24:42):
you look, I'm not gonna read all this stuff, but
I think that it's interesting when you start figuring out,
like who's going to define this stuff? How you gauge
it somehow? And trip Advisor sent me an email the
other day and they said that they have taken all
(25:05):
of the reviews from the entire world of all the
things that people do when they travel around, and they
have condensed them down into the number one overall experience
that you can have in the world. Now, I own
a number of companies as you probably know. For example,
(25:27):
I own the Haunted Asheville Ghost Tours in Asheville, North Carolina.
We win trip Advisor awards every year. We've done that
for many, many years. I own the Haunted Boulder City
Ghost Tour and Boulder City, Nevada, and um so I'm
always like paying attention to this and trip Advisory. They
(25:48):
sent this email. I got this like two days ago.
Here is it. If you're gonna do one thing before
you die, this is the thing to do. And when
we come back, I'm gonna tell you what that is.
And that's number one. But you know, maybe I'll tell
you a number two, number three, number four. I we'll see,
(26:10):
and then I'll finally get into some of these questions.
I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to strange things on
the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast m pay. We're
a normal podcast network, and I will be back after
these important messages. Don't go anywhere. There's more strange things

That's Coast to Coast am dot com. Welcome back to
(27:54):
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM around normal podcast network. I am your host
Joshua pe Warren and this is the show where the
unusual becomes usual. And trip Advisor says that the number
(28:14):
one experience in the world, okay, best of the best
for two is an Amsterdam open boat canal cruise. So
you go to Amsterdam and you're get in the boat
and you cruise the canals. All right, sounds fun, Okay.
(28:35):
Number two go to Dubai and uh you can take
like a four wheeler around the dunes. Number three is
a tour of the shore in uh Honolulu, Hawaii. Uh.
Number four is in Aruba where you just you know,
get up like jump in the water anyway, Like I'm
(28:59):
not gotta read all this to you because you know
they and they have stuff on there like uh oh
climbed to Mount Machu Picchu. Well, I don't think I'm
gonna be doing that, uh anytime soon. Um, this looks cool.
Number twelve hot air balloon ride in Luxe or Egypt. Yeah,
my dad recently had his seventieth birthday, by the way,
(29:23):
and so I went to visit him in Asheville, North Carolina,
and uh, my dad wanted to climb actually Isai climbed.
He wanted to walk up to Kleingman's dome and uh
and he you know, he he did it. Uh. He
has had like three heart attacks and a stroke and
all kinds of stuff, but he did it and had
(29:44):
a great time. And I think he probably was h
he had more breath than I did at the end
of that. I gotta I gotta work out a little
bit more. Okay. So, but what's also kind of interesting
about this list is there are some things here that
or um kind of close to me, like, there's a
four wheeler thing you can do in Las Vegas that
(30:04):
takes you out into the desert, and then there's a
cave thing in Puerto Rico, which cave and river trip,
and I have no doubt that that is a very
special fun thing. So um, I I would like to
be able to tell you that one of my tours
(30:26):
became a part of the list for the top thing
to do in the world. Yeah, I'm just kidding. But anyway,
so think about the context. I guess that's what I'm
trying to tell you here. Think about the ancient world
and the modern world and how much things have changed
and what you place value on. And also, I mean,
(30:49):
the wonders of the ancient world were I think wondrous
because that they were. They were man made. And I
don't think you should include natural wonders because everything is natural,
if you I mean, like technically everything is natural. But anyway,
(31:14):
why split hairs? Right? I have a question here from Bunny.
She says, what is the most haunted place you have encountered? Well,
you know, I told you recently on this show about
my experiences at Myrtle's Plantation, the very Haunted night and
(31:35):
the Haunted Room, the General David Bradford sweet that I had.
And if you go to Joshua Pee Warren dot com
and click around there, you'll be able to find video
footage of what I what I experienced that night. Thank
goodness I got it on video or a lot of
people would not even believe it. But you know, I
(31:57):
think that the trip of a lifetime for me, um
was when I went to Transylvania in Romania a boy
that I love every minute of that, and um, I
went to investigate all of lad the Impaler's castles and
you know, places where he hung out, in places where
he was imprisoned, and a lot of strange stuff happened.
(32:20):
There were shadow figures, uh, which I'm going to talk
more about on a future podcast by the way, and
UH figure like like ghostly apparitions that would break up
laser lights, Uh, rocks and pebbles being tossed at us,
people being touched. Um. I mean if if if you
(32:42):
got to Transylvania, it's like duh, you know you're gonna
run to some ghosts there. Uh. Jack says, how does
the magneto sphere play apart in ghost manifestations? Well, the
magneto sphere is this big magnetic field that surrounds the
Earth and it words the Earth to some extent, uh,
(33:04):
from all of the incredible energetic radiation that's that's coming
in from the cosmos. And anything that happens in life
requires a battery, a power source. Can You have to
have a battery. So anytime something happens of any kind,
there has to be power, there has to be a battery.
(33:26):
And so the magnetosphere is this this uh, sort of fluctuating, flexual, flexible,
kind of fluid boundary around the Earth, and uh, it's
always sort of shifting and changing and morphing. And so
at times when the magneto sphere happens to sort of
dip a little bit and more energy can come in
(33:49):
from the cosmos, you generally get more activity, more action,
and that of course means yes, more paranormal stuff. And so, uh,
the interface that we have with other dimensions, other realms
is to some degree dependent upon the state of the
(34:13):
magnetos sphere, because when the magneto sphere is thick, places
are not being energized enough. When it's thin, they're being
energized more. And when it's really thin, you get stuff
like the Aurora borealis and the Aurora Australia's which everybody
can see, you know, so uh you can almost think
(34:35):
that maybe some examples of ghostly encounters are people who
are getting a glimpse of of things like the the
auroras on on a smaller level. Uh. Tom asked, have
you had any strange occurrences with the Art Bell alien
that you have acquired? Uh? You know, if if you're
(34:57):
brand new to this, UM, I've I've talked about this
plenty on the past podcast, but I am the very
proud owner of one of my most important charms, if
you will. It's a four or five ft wooden statue
of an alien that was in Art Bell's studio. He
(35:20):
he's on video hugging it. Um. He talked about it
a lot and Art absolutely loved this alien. And uh, yeah,
it's now at my house. I used to have it
in a museum, but I keep you here at my house.
When I first got the alien, UM, I put it
in the museum that first night in Asheville. Like it
(35:44):
came from Nevada, and at that time I was in
North Carolina, and uh it moved. I came in the
next morning, and I found that that the statue was
in a different position, and I was, I mean, like
absolutely dumbfounded of this. Uh So I put a camera
on him and I watched him again, and he never moved.
(36:06):
After that. Art Bell said that he wanted to get
rid of the alien because he loved it. But he
said that his wife and daughter claimed it was coming
to life at night and moving around. And I think
that there is something to that, because it was in
a different position um the next day after I got
(36:28):
it and put it in my museum. But since then,
the alien has not moved and nothing weird has happened
around him. His name is Carville. As a matter of fact,
if you go to art Bell Alien dot com art
bell alien dot com, you can read the entire history
of the statue and uh see his provenance and why
(36:51):
he's named Carville and all that kind of thing. And
I think he's brought me a lot of good fortune
because since I've had him, my life has just gotten
better and better and better. And and now here I am,
you know, uh, part of a coast to coast a
am hosting jigs. So um, one guy came to a
(37:11):
conference that I did, and he said, why don't you
put these rollers on him to help him move a
little bit and you know, you know, to accentuate this.
But honestly, UM, I think that's a cool idea, but
I kind of don't. I mean, I have too much
respect for the statue to kind of mess to mess
(37:33):
with him, you know, and and and I'd hate to
see him roll a little too much and maybe get damaged. Okay,
here's here's a question from a real fan, a long
long time fan, Joshua Dandy. Um. I used to host
this show for many years called Speaking of Strange, and
(37:57):
one time my producer Forest Connor, he inexplicably disappeared and
he was gone for a while, and we didn't really
talk about what he was up to, and and to
be honest with you, I don't even remember exactly what
I said about that, Um. But then you know, Forest
(38:21):
came back, and I think we just kind of moved
along as as if it never happened. So when we
come back from this break, I'm going to tell you
what what I can recall about what actually happened when
producer Forest Connor disappeared when I was doing the Speaking
of Strange show, and then I'm also going to read, uh,
(38:43):
at least one or two emails from you. I got
this email from this lady, and uh, let me see
where does she lives. I'm not sure she lives. I
get so many emails. It's it's amazing, you know, you know,
I read every email. I can't respond to every email,
but I read them all. And she told me a
story about something that happened to her when she began
(39:07):
using a technique that she learned about on this show
with one of the products that I have on my website,
my Curiosity Shop. Oh yeah, and I have I have
another update for you about good fortune and powerful manifestation.

(41:16):
final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast Stadium para normal
podcast network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and
I will end this show as I often do, by
playing the good Fortune Tone. But I just want you
(41:38):
to know that so many people have had such great experiences,
such good luck just from meditating on that tone. Uh
that days ago. I I got up with this like
audio distributor company, and they they put it on um
(42:03):
let's see Spotify and Apple Music and iTunes and YouTube
and so how that kind of works. Is all you
have to do is type in Joshua pe Warren a
good Fortune tone on your favorite platform and you will
find versions of it that you can listen to and
(42:25):
just sort of meditate on. One of them is five
minutes uh long, the other is ten minutes long, and
then the longest one is thirty minutes long. And the
other night, before I went to sleep, I put on
the thirty minute one and I fell asleep to that,
but I had it on a loop, so I don't know.
I probably slept listening to that for a couple of hours,
(42:48):
and something uh unbelievable like happened to be the next day,
something really really good And I don't want to tell
you what it is yet because it's the details are
not one percent tied up, but like, against all odds,
something really really cool happened, and UM, so you you
(43:09):
should try that out. It's I mean it's I guess
it's free, um on most of those platforms. I'm not sure,
but anyway, go to Joshua Pe. We'll just go to
your platform and look for Joshua Pe Warren and the
Good Fortune tone and listen to one of those versions
and just try falling asleep to it and and see
what happens to you. Okay, Um, all right, So back
(43:34):
to this is kind of like an insider's question thing
from Joshua Dindy. Yeah, what happened the time that Forrest
Connor disappeared back when I was doing, um, speaking of Strange,
which I did for gosh like fifteen years on news
radio five seventy w w n C, the Talk of
the Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina. So here's the truth, Joshua.
(43:59):
I don't remember exactly what I said about that situation,
but and I talked to Forest about this before I
I addressed it here in this podcast, and he's cool
with what I'm about to tell you. Forest got into
a romantic relationship that was doomed, and um, you know,
(44:24):
it's like the same old story. Yeah, it was all
you know, everything was all fun and happy and giddy
for a long time, and then it went through that arc.
And then so he got deeper and deeper. Uh, and
this relationship and um, he ended up sort of you know,
he moved away. He moved actually to the opposite end
of the state of North Carolina, and we were still
(44:44):
trying to work together, um, and like a long distance
and this relationship was, you know, it was falling apart, uh,
and it was, um, it was kind of you know,
driving him nuts. And you have to understand that when
you work in the media, when you work in show business. UM,
(45:10):
it's kind of weird because if you work at like
a regular job where you just encounter one customer after another. Um,
if something happens in your life and you don't show
up or whatever, I mean, people forget about that pretty quickly.
But in this field, we talked to thousands, if not
(45:33):
millions of people every day, and people, you know, they
get used to that, and then when somebody disappears, they go,
what happened? What happened? And uh, so again I really
don't remember what I said. I'm sure that I just
sort of glazed over it and tried to make it
(45:53):
a little more mysterious than it was. But um, he
just needed to take to take some time out as
he was dealing with that uh relationship that was that
was gonna fail. And uh that's the truth, okay. Uh.
And by the way, Joshua, you've always been a great
fan and a hell of a researcher, and thank you
(46:15):
for all the fun stuff that you have brought to
my programming over the years. And your wife is such
an artistic lady that Um, as you know, my wife
Lauren has one of her favorite uh dolls if we
want to call it that and that she carries around
(46:38):
all the time created by your wife. So that's cool,
all right. Listen to this email I got here from
oh you vonn okay. So, she says, I have written
to you before about the amazing results I have received
using the bad Buster the psionic De materializer that is,
(47:04):
by the way, on my website. If you go to
the Curiosity shop, you'll see the bad Buster or the
psionic De materializer. She says. I heard you talking about
the amazing prayer board, and even though it was a splurge,
it was also on sale and I decided I needed
(47:24):
to have it. So long story short, because I know
you're busy. I started using it faithfully, praying for this
intention and that, and I was getting pretty good results.
I mean nothing big, just little things that were nitpicky
things bothering me, that kind of stuff. Well, of course,
little things turned into big things, and I found myself
(47:48):
in a position of owing over two thousand dollars that
need to be paid quickly. I didn't have two thousand
dollars or anything near it, so I figured I would
have to be making payments if they would let me. Well,
suddenly the lightbulb went off over my head, and I
(48:08):
decided I would use my miraculous prayer board and ask
for help. I didn't even ask for a specific amount. Now,
I swear to you by everything that I that I
love and believe in the very next day, I went
to my mailbox and inside was a check from New
(48:29):
York State, a tax rebate for property taxes. I had
no idea I was getting it, or even that I
was entitled to it, but I think the amount might
interest you, because it was amazing and knocked me off
my feet and left me laughing and crying for two hours.
(48:53):
The exact amount of the check was one thousand, nine
hundred and nine dollars and sixty one Since since I
had already paid some towards the debt, this wiped it
out completely. There was even a little money left over.
I don't know how this prayer board works. I just
(49:15):
know that it does work, and it works quickly when
it knows that you really really need help. She goes
on to say, I really believe you are sharing precious
gifts with all of us, and I thank you from
my heart. Yvonne, Yvonne, you know what. That's why I
(49:40):
do this, honestly, you know, I could. I could close
up shop and retire right now. You know, I've I've
been I've been working for a long long time and uh,
I've got a lot of interesting projects out there, and
I've been pretty smart with my money, and I could
(50:01):
just close up shop. But it's it's it's emails like
yours that keep me going, you know, to keep me
doing this show. And I hope that all of you
who are listening well also, you know, sort of remember
that if you like this show and you want me
to keep doing it, um, then you have to share
(50:22):
it with everybody and tell everybody to listen to And
why wouldn't you, because you know, the great thing about
this program is that it's free. You can hear it
all over the place. And I intentionally do not put
negative stuff in your head. You should know that if
(50:44):
you listen to me, and you've listened to me for
a while, you'll see I don't do that. I only
put interesting, weird, fascinating, quirky and positive, actually empowering stuff
in to your to your head. Um, And that's my mission,
that's my purpose, and that's what I'm going to continue
(51:06):
to do. But I'll only do it as long as
you keep listening and you share it with all your friends,
and you also have to go to my website and uh,
you know, buy something and support me. Okay, that's that's
how this all works because I give a lot of
money to charity as well. And uh, every time you
spend some bucks at Joshua pee Warren dot com, Uh,
(51:28):
he goes a part of it, he goes to some Actually,
all of it goes to some really good causes. I
was gonna say a part of it might go to
some whiskyer so now and I'm joking. Okay, my friends,
