Speaker 1 (00:00):
And you're here. Thanks for choosing the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast A and Paranormal Podcast Network. Your
quest for podcasts of the paranormal, supernatural, and the unexplained
ends here. We invite you to enjoy all our shows
we have on this network, and right now, let's start
with Strange Things with Joshua P. Warren. The thoughts and

(00:22):
opinions expressed by the host our thoughts and opinions only,
and do not necessarily reflect those of I Heart Media,
I Heart Radio, Coast to Coast A out employees of
premier networks or their sponsors and associates. You are encouraged
to do the proper amount of research yourself, depending on
the subject matter and your needs. Get ready, this is

(01:07):
Strange Things. I am Joshua pe Warren. At each week
on this show, I'll be bringing you brand new mind
blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can do

(01:28):
at home, and a lot more on this edition of
the program. What do the Aliens I Really Want? And
Mike the Headless Chicken? I believe there is a connection there.

(01:50):
If there's not, don't worry, I'll make one up, all right.
So let's dig into this. We talked about it a lot.
Why are the space aliens here? And we call them
space aliens, but maybe they're not extraterrestrial alone. Maybe they're
extra dimensional whatever they come from elsewhere, But why are
they here and what do they want? Well, right now,

(02:15):
the topic of the energy production and consumption on this
planet is very controversial. You know, you have people out
there fighting for fossil fuels, and then you have people
out there fighting for more so called green technology. And
yet a lot of the people who are involved in

(02:35):
those arguments don't really have a lot of technical knowledge
about how efficient and effective these different methods of tapping
into energy actually are. But the point I really want
to make here is that it's this question of what
the aliens want. It's really not so hard to figure out.

(02:58):
It's kind of a duck question. The aliens, Well, they're
just like humans and that sense, what do humans ultimately
want resources? Everything that we desire comes from some kind
of a natural resource. And you know, you hear this

(03:20):
term like this is man made, this is artificial. I
know what people mean when they say that, but ultimately
nothing is truly man made or artificial because everything is
uh natural. The the Great Spirit, whatever you want to
call it, produced all these things Mother Nature, and then
humans can take them and rearrange them and what seemed

(03:43):
to be different ways. And sometimes that's a good thing,
and sometimes that's a bad thing. But still you've got
to have natural resources there because natural resources can enhance
your your life experience in every way, creating medicines for
you to help you feel better and live longer, giving
you the ability to travel, uh through different types of

(04:07):
vehicles and experience more stuff, or control your climate. I mean,
like we all want resources um and and resources are
the ultimate most valuable thing. And if you think about it,
the United States has always been a powerful country because

(04:29):
we have this incredible amount of natural resources. As a
matter of fact, without getting too deep into it right now,
you know, I'm here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and a
lot of people don't realize that it's called the Silver State,
but uh, a much more gold is produced here in Nevada,
and gold has many uses. It's always been fascinating to people.

(04:52):
And uh it's only because of Nevada that the US
is on the list of the top four gold producers
in the world. I think ahead of us are Russia,
China and Australia. UM and you know that's the concept
of sea to shining sea. We have all these resources here,
and you know, I've talked about how that when you

(05:13):
look at these so called UFOs or U A P
you know, with the terminology shifts around. I think that
many of these things are a combination of something that's technological,
that's machine like, but also organic. I call them o
U f os organic UFOs. They're kind of like cyborgs
of the future. They are artificial intelligence, but based with

(05:40):
based on organic components. This is difficult. This is why
we have such trouble understanding them, because they're so far
ahead of us that animate and inanimate and organic and
inorganic and all those definitions kind of get blurry. But
a living being is a living being and whatever these
aliens are, and I'm just gonna keep calling them that

(06:01):
because you know what I'm talking about. Whatever these aliens are,
they obviously, uh, they're going around exploring places, and in
some cases they've they've sucked all the resources from their
own planet, and some of them are just drifting around
farming other planets for resources. Now, in some cases, some

(06:25):
of these things might be spiritual feeders. They might literally
be coming here and tapping into some kind of energy
that humans produce that they like, similar to us tapping
into the honey that these produce. But I think that
many of them are tapping into our natural resources in

(06:46):
the same way that the Annochi might have been here
searching for gold. Then of course we have the fact
some of them may just like to eat people. I mean,
look at the way we treat animals and all the
different views and all the different uses that we have.
But going back to the idea of the the environment
and the resources, you know, Unfortunately, this conversation about resources

(07:11):
and energy production, it tends to get mixed up in
the often ruthless politics of environmentalism, which creates kind of
a whiplash and a backlash because when you start talking
about protecting our planet and protecting our resources, there are
people who have abused that message so much that there
are other people who are like, Nope, nope, I'm not

(07:32):
hear to that. I'm not hearing of anything environmental, you know,
And and that's and you have to understand that this
is again, I'm not a conversation that needs to be
hijacked and commandeered by people who have certain political or
economic interests. We all have an interest in maintaining a
healthy planet here for obvious reasons. But you know, any

(07:55):
true message often becomes warped and undermined by corrupt forces politics.
But let's look at the cold logic of survival of
the fittest. We have to protect our environment. Uh but
I mean, because we're living in a bubble here and
we don't want to contaminate it. But but here's here's
the thing. We are not technologically capable right now of

(08:19):
running our world without fossil fuels. Now, if you don't
like the fact that we use fossil fuels, then fine,
invent a better technology and we will change. It's that simple.
That's how humans evolve. But right now, solar, wind, hydro etcetera.
Those things alone are not going to do the job

(08:41):
of supplying all the energy that everybody wants. Eventually, I
think we'll figure it out. And if you're proud of
driving your electric car right now, well you might want
to look into how much of that electricity is being
produced by generators that depend on operations, services, and maintenance
from fossil fuels. Okay, so I believe that we will

(09:01):
someday tap into something like a zero point energy or
a vacuum energy that will allow us to revolutionize the
world and stop using carbon based products. But we are
not there yet, and I'm not sure at what level
these aliens are, and there are there are different kinds

(09:23):
I think when it comes to tapping into our resources.
This conversation has always reminded me of the cardas Chefs skill.
I'm sure you've heard at least bits and pieces about this.
The cardas Chef scale is a method of measuring a
civilization's level of technological advancement based on the energy that
it is able to use. And this was proposed in

(09:45):
nineteen sixty four by a Soviet astronomer named Nikolai cardas Chef,
and it's pretty basic. He says that like a type
one civilization would be able to harness all the energy
that re which is its home planet, from its parent star.
So that would mean like for for Earth, that would

(10:07):
be like we could harness all the energy from the
Sun reaching Earth and uh and have incredible efficiency from that.
We're trying to do that, but we're not there yet,
so that that would be a type one civilization. We're
not even a Type one yet, we're a Type zero.
A Type two would advance beyond that and be able

(10:27):
to harness the energy completely radiated from its star. So
that means like we can go beyond what reaches Earth.
We can actually go to the Sun itself and harness it.
A Type three would be a civilization that can go
even further, and it can possess and harness the energy

(10:51):
of its own galaxy. That's hard to believe. And you
know what's funny, people say a Type four would go. Well,
we're talking about interstellar travel and going to other galaxies
and harvesting things. Cardis Chev himself believed that was impossible,
so he never came up with the Type four. But
you see how this would work. And you know Michio Kaku,

(11:16):
everybody knows the great physicist and futurist, Michio Kaku. He
said that he thinks we might be able to attain
a Type one status and a hundred or two hundred years,
and a Type two status and a few thousand years,
and a Type three status and ten thousand to a
million years. What do you think about that? Okay, when

(11:37):
we come back, I'm gonna tell you a little bit
more about my feelings and what the aliens want, and
then I'm gonna share this really weird story with you,
by the way, you know, speaking of aliens and all that,
I've got my land near Area fifty one. I'm going
to have a report for you soon about what I
find there, what I'm doing there. I've got at least
two brand new products that I'm going to be coming

(11:58):
out with over the next few months. And if you
want to know about them, they're small batches, they're gonna
go fast, their metaphysical inventions. If you want to know
about them, you gotta go to Joshua pe Warren dot

the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast. They in
Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome

(13:35):
back to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and
Coast to Coast um Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver. Yeah.

(13:59):
I think that the aliens they have a lot of
different reasons for coming here, but the main one is
to just gather resources and kind of mess with the
specimens down here. And you know, I I people they say,
when are we going to have the big revelation, the

(14:19):
big disclosure? When are they going to land on the
White House lawn. I think that's a very egotistical way
of thinking about this. And you've heard me say it before.
When I go hiking through the woods, I'm not trying
to prove to every squirrel and rabbit that humans exist.
I don't care if they know humans exist. If anything,

(14:40):
I might try to hide from them so that I
can observe and watch those creatures in their natural habitat.
Why should we think that we are viewed any differently
from these other species that have been around longer and
are more technologically advanced. And you know, we actually abduct
animals in the exact same way that aliens apparently abduct

(15:05):
some people. I was watching the news here in Las
Vegas just the other day. Here's the story. Nevada big
horn sheep airlifted to Utah for a new nursery. This
operation started days ago. There is this amazing park that's
near here. I think it's a it's a state park

(15:26):
called the Valley of Fire. It looks like the surface
of Mars. In fact, they've used it to portray Mars
in various movies like Total Recall and even one of
the Star Trek movies, the one where Keptain Kirk gets killed.
The Death of Kirk scene is there, and the Valley
of Fire. And when you go there and spend the day,
you see all these big horn sheep. Well, uh, these

(15:50):
scientists have decided to abduct them, and so they go
in and I'm not sure the exact process. But these
sheep end up bagged. They're surprised they're bagged. They're blindfolded,
and they're put in a bag hooked to a helicopter
and it flies them away. Okay, one day they get

(16:11):
up and it's just a regular old day of being
a big horn horn sheep again. And the next thing
you know, they're flying hanging off this helicopter and uh,
it says that they are taking them to Utah to
start a big horn nursery. They're gathering at least sixteen

(16:34):
of these sheep for that, and there are lots of
sheep there, so it's a small selection. The ones that
are being abducted is a small selection. And I bet
you if one of those sheep made it back to
the others one day and tried to explain what happened,
they would say, uh, huh, what have you what? What?
What grass have you been eating? Now? Um, we do

(17:00):
the same stuff to these animals that aliens supposedly due
to us. Aliens, I think are as just amazed by
us as we are of less advanced animals, and we
use animals for all kinds of purposes. We we not
only again use resources but some you know, we we
eat them. Uh they're used for entertainment as pets or

(17:26):
just mere curiosities, just observing them for fun. But you know,
even more for practical purposes. We study rats and monkeys
in the lab for medical tests and behavioral tests to
learn more about ourselves. We experiment on them. And I'm
not saying that this is a good thing, but this

(17:48):
is what we do. We are we're fascinated by animal
anomalies in the same way that aliens would be fascinated
by what humans are up to. Here is an animal
anomaly and this is this is kind of disgusting. I
got this email, I guess it was last year from

(18:11):
a woman named Rita, and she said, have you ever
talked about Mike the Headless Chicken on your show? Uh?
You should do that, and I, you know, I don't.
I'm familiar with Mike the Headless Chicken, but I don't
think I've ever brought it up. This is an example
of of why that we are curious about weird things

(18:31):
that happened to lower level creatures. Okay, this is a
story that begins in Colorado. There was this chicken born
April nineteen boy that was a dramatic time of in history,

(18:52):
wasn't it there at the end of World War Two?
Mike was a male yan Dot chicken. No, I I
didn't know what a yan Dot was. Do you know
what that is? He says? A wyan Dot is an
American breed of chicken developed in the eighteen seventies, named
for the indigenous wyan Dot people of North America. Okay,
says it's a dual purpose breed kept for its brown

(19:14):
eggs and its yellowed skinned meat. It is a popular
show bird and has many color variants. Okay, So from
what I can tell, this one named Mike was just
basically white. Mike lived for eighteen months after his head
had been cut off. After the loss of his head,

(19:36):
Mike achieved national fame until his death in March of
nineteen forty seven, and to this day, in a town
called I guess it's fruita cal Farita, Colorado, an annual
Mike the Headless Chicken Day is held every May. So
there's a celebration for this headless chicken. Alright, So here's
the story behind this thing. So on September tenth of

(20:01):
nineteen there was this farmer there named Lloyd Olson, in Colorado,
and he was gonna eat supper with his mother in law,
and so somebody sent him out to the yard. I
guess it was his wife to bring back a chicken.
So he picked his five and a half month old
chicken named Mike. I don't know why the chicken was
already named Mike. Maybe they named all their chickens. So anyway,

(20:24):
he took out an ex simple enough, he'd done it
a million times. He chopped removed the bulk of the head,
but they say he somehow missed the jugular vein, leaving
one ear and most of the brain stem intact. Well
after that, the chicken was still able to stand up,

(20:46):
balance on a perch, and walk around clumsily. He attempted
to pring, He attempted to pick for food. He attempted
to crow, not much success. They say his crowing was
kind of a gurgling sound made in his throat. But
when Mike did not die, Lloyd Olsen decided to care

(21:07):
for the bird, and he took out a little eye dropper,
and he started feeding in a mixture of milk and
water and gave it little small grains of corn and
worms that would stuff. He'd stuffed down its neck. This
is a really gross story, isn't it. I'm sorry, folks.
So word got out about this chicken. Obviously, the media

(21:31):
picked it up, and the chicken started becoming famous. And
so Mike began a career of touring around side shows, uh,
in the company of other anomalies like a two headed baby. Uh.
He was photographed for dozens of magazines and papers. He
was in Time magazine, Life magazine. Mike was put on

(21:54):
display for twenty five cents. You could come in there
and take a look. And they say, at the height
of his off of this popularity, this chickens owner got
forty five hundred dollars per month. Okay, now, back in
in this day and age, that would have been uh,
fifty four thousand, six hundred and ten dollars per month.

(22:18):
Can you believe that I got a calculator right here,
fifty four thousand times twelve is six hundred and forty
eight thousand dollars. Can you imagine? I bet he was
trying to, like heck, to keep that chicken alive. Six
hundred forty eight grand from people wanting to look this chicken.

(22:38):
They say that Mike was valued. Um, go out anyway,
he was valued for a lot anyway, So sadly, sadly,
in March of nineteen, this is after this chicken had
been alive for almost two years. At a motel in Phoenix, Arizona.
They're on a stopover for traveling back from a tour

(23:01):
and Mike the chicken started choking in the middle of
the night. He managed to finally get a kernel of
corn stuck in his throat, and uh. It turns out
the Olsens had accidentally left their feeding and cleaning syringes
at the side show the day before, so they didn't
have the tools on hand and they were not able

(23:22):
to save Mike. I bet they were crying. Olsen claimed
that he had sold the bird off for a while,
resulting in stories that the chicken was still touring the
country for a couple more years. But other sources say
that the chickens severed trachea could not properly take in

(23:45):
enough air to breathe, and it was obvious he choked
to death. So anyway, here here's the explanation, all right.
Once again, they say it was determined that the axe
had missed the juggular and and it but it had
produced a blood clot that had prevented Mike im bleeding
to death. And although most of his head was gone,
most of that brain stem and ear were there, and

(24:06):
so basic functions like breathing, heart rate, a lot of
the chickens reflexes that are controlled by the brain stem.
We're able to remain intact and quite healthy. And they
say that birds possess also a secondary balanced organ in
their pelvic region there which controls uh like walking, locomotion,

(24:29):
and uh some of their flight. Um So, anyway, now,
Mike the Headless Chicken. It's like an institution there in
Colorado with Mike the Headless Chicken Day the third weekend
of May. They started that nine. They have a five
k run like a chicken race egg toss. We study

(24:53):
weird animals to learn more about ourselves, and I guarantee
you aliens to us to learn more about themselves as well. Hey,
when we come back, I have a story for you
about Vlad the Impaler, the real Dracula. I'm Joshua Pete Warren.

(25:15):
You're listening to strange things on the I Heart Radio
and Coast to Coast. I am paranormal podcasting network. I'll
be right back after these important messages. Welcome back to

(25:58):
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast.
I am para normal podcast network. I am your host,
Joshua pe Warren, And this is the show where the
unusual becomes usual. And I just realized when I was
telling you about Mike the Headless Chicken and how much

(26:20):
money this guy was making. Now, again, just to clarify,
they say Mike the Headless. The Headless Chicken was bringing
in forty dollars per month back in the nineteen forties
and the year one that is the equivalent of over
fifty four thousand dollars a month. So we're looking at

(26:43):
this guy making well over half a million dollars in
today's uh by the day's in terms. And I thought,
oh my goodness, what if what if I have inspired
some people listening to go out and start chopping off

(27:04):
chicken heads in order to reproduce this miraculous feat. Listen,
do not do that, Okay, I do not support that.
I do not condone that that is wrong for you
to try to create recreate Mike the Headless Chicken. But

(27:24):
if it does happen to happen out there, and you
hear about it, you may as well let me know
about it. It is kind of funny. As many chickens
as there are they get killed every day, you'd think
that that must happen more often than just that one
freakish time. Anyway, I guess getting back to my point

(27:48):
as like, look, animals are weird, and they they teach
us things about life, and we never know what that
angle is going to be. And so that is why
I believe that that the aliens, they're just as fascinated
by the weirdness that comes from humans. And speaking of

(28:08):
my o u FO theory, you know, I came out
with this short film called o UFOs a New Discovery,
and I posted it on the internet and guess what,
it just got accepted for competition at the International Fortian

(28:31):
Film Festival. And of course, Charles Fort was a hero
of mine. You know, he was an American pioneer of
documenting strange and bizarre tales that he would come across
in the newspapers back in the eighteen hundreds and so um.

(28:53):
Even though you know, Charles Fort, he was the godfather
of this term for ten, which is a broad term
that encompasses all kinds of odd stuff. Um, kind you know,
Robert Ripley esque things, but even weirder. And but he's
not as popular here in America, his home country, as
he is in the UK. And so uh, the fourteen

(29:16):
or fourteen festival there is going to feature my documentary
oh UFOs a new Discovery. I actually got a beautiful
glass award today in the mail at my house, which
I'm very proud of. I posted it on my social
media and so I wish I could be making that

(29:39):
trip to England to be there for this, but there's
no way I can do it. I have other other
obligations this year. But if you are near Gloucester, England,
then the International fourteen Film Festival is going to be
on let's see, it's September, the second and third of

(30:00):
September two and third of two at the Sherburne Cinema, Gloucester.
And if you just go to for teen Film Festival
dot com then uh, you can go and check out
all the things they have planned there. But it's a
great honor to have my film chosen for that, and
you know it's a short film. It one uh or
it's been selected as best Documentary Short. And if you

(30:24):
want to see it right now. It's easy to do,
so just go to Joshua Pee Warren dot com. When
you go there, you will find a little section at
the top called Gallery of the Strange, and then if
you scroll through, you'll find a lot ofical stuff. They're
including one heading that says, oh UFOs Organic UFOs Report
And if you click that, you can watch this little

(30:47):
short film right now for free, and you can see
what I produced. One of the people who helped me
produce experiments for that short film was Dr Mulder. Yes,
he is the man who makes the wishing machines. And
people a lot of times they buy a wishing machine
and they send me an email and they asked me questions,

(31:08):
and I say, asked Dr Molder. He's the man who
makes the machines. I always refer people to Dr Molder,
and when you buy wishing machine, you get an email
from him. So wishing machines can do all kinds of
odd things that you may maybe never thought about. And
one time I asked Brad who actually his name is Brad,
you know Dr Moulder, Dr Brad moulderd Uh. I've asked

(31:31):
him on a number of occasions actually to help me
enhance paranormal activity to help make a UFO appear or
a ghost appear, because I wanted to make the most
of my time at a paranormal hot spot. And so
when I went to Romania and two thousand and twelve
to investigate all the ruins of Vlad the Impaler's castles
in Transylvania, you know, the real Dracula. Dr Molder could

(31:55):
not make that trip, but I asked him to use
some of his methods at his workshop in South Carolina,
to use non locality, quantum physics, whatever is that play here,
to try to enhance the paranormal activity that was that
could happen while my group was there investigating. And he

(32:16):
had a lot of success and we had a wild night.
And so occasionally he's going to come onto this show
and do a little segment where he tells you, like
how he did these things, and so here is a
report from him on what he did to help make
that happen. I'm gonna give you a quick story about
the time that Joshua P. Warren asked me to help

(32:38):
with a paranormal investigation, and of all places, Lad Dampaler,
the Tracula fame uh the ruins of his castle over
in Romania. Well, all I had to work with was
the floor plan for the for the castle. I went
ahead and took a pencil and a ruler and made

(32:59):
a great pattern over the floor plan. Uh. Took a
pencil when over each square and took the other hand
and rubbed the sick plate. And if I got a reaction,
I put a checkmark on that square. So I go
through the entire grid, and it seemed that most of
the biggest chance for paranormal activity was at a place

(33:19):
called the meeting hall. So I went ahead and Uh,
I think I sent Josh a scanned copy of that
experiment of that grid, and I told him, your best
chances are probably gonna be, you know, a particular location. Also,
I set a machine for paranormal activity at the castle. Uh.

(33:39):
Josh and us researchers they go there. They climb up
this huge flight of stairs to the ruins. Uh. They
go start doing their research throughout the castle. And apparently
around the meeting hall people were getting rocks thrown at them. Uh.
They were coming out of nowhere. They were looking for,

(34:01):
you know, look for the person who was throwing them.
There was really nowhere the hide the place was you know,
as ruins and uh, you know, it's just a very
very strange. But again a lot of this current normal
activity was coming from the very place that, according to
my dousing would be and which was the main room
of the castle. And again very simple to do. All

(34:24):
you need is, uh, you know, if you're going to
research a place and you try to find out, okay,
where's the best chance for activity. Uh take a floor plan, uh,
you know, right up a grid and use a sick
plate or or a pendulum whatever whatever works for you.
Go across each square to get a reaction. Uh, put

(34:45):
a little checkmark their market and uh and see what happens. Again,
it worked for work for us. And I never even
left the country. I was doing this experiment on the
other side of the world and it still got a reaction.
So fantastic stuff. And with that said, for more information,
go to Wishing Machine Project dot com. Again, that's Wishing

(35:07):
Machine Project dot com all one word. And on that note,
have a great day and a great evening. Thank you
for that report, Dr Molder. And you know, he and
I received an email just a few days ago from
a woman named Joy in Washington State. I guess she
has some kind of an online shop or something, and

(35:28):
here's what she wrote. Hello, Dr Moulder, this testimonial is
long overdue. In I decided to use the wishing machine
to ask for eighty or more orders a day from
my shops combined. The most amount of orders I've ever
gotten in a day was about thirty. I picked the

(35:50):
number eighty as it seemed really believable to me. The
results were astounding. Within a few weeks, I was receiving
over one hundred orders a day. Let me repeat that,
one hundred orders a day. And the orders kept growing
on a daily basis, so that it reached to about

(36:11):
five hundred or more orders at one point, and and
my husband and I needed to put the shops on
a break for a while to catch up on the orders.
Thank you for offering this product, and I am sure
I'll submit more testimonials in the future. Thank you kindly. Joy.

(36:35):
Thank you for that message. Joy. You know that's the
thing you did the right You did the right thing
because you didn't take it and say I want to
be a millionaire, I want to sell a million products. No, no, no,
Like you said, you were realistic. That's how you manifest things.
You take it in baby steps, right, and you say, okay,

(36:56):
eight seems believable to me. Let's start there. And then
you grow and you find once it starts growing, it's
snowballs and there's a chain reaction and it gets wilder
and next thing you know, Yeah, you're you're You're a
manifestation machine. When we come back from this break, I
have a question from a guy about demon possessed people

(37:18):
that's really interesting. Nobody's ever asked me. I don't think
this particular question before. And then another email I want
to read you from a guy who he wants to
talk about a love spell and gargoyles and little people.
I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on

(37:39):
the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast ay AM
penin normal podcast Network. I will be all right back.

(38:23):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren,
and I received this email from Scott in California. He says, Hey, Joshua,

(38:45):
I love your podcast and your work. Here's a topic
i'd like some feedback on of those who become possessed.
Now he's talking like demon possessed here. I guess what
is the brain down by religion? I suspect the vast
number of people who become demonically possessed are overwhelmingly Catholic,

(39:09):
but I could be wrong, and it makes me wonder
for people that have been raised with no religion as
an agnostic or an atheist, if their rates of demonic
possession are far less. We'll love to hear thoughts and
keep up the good work. Okay, well, thank you, Scott.
That is an interesting question, isn't it. Now Here is

(39:31):
how I can answer that personally? I after all my years,
and I've been doing this kind of work for almost
thirty years something like that, uh, And I've traveled, as
you know, to a lot of different places, lived in
different cultures. Um. But I think I have only been
in close contact with two truly possessed people. And uh,

(39:58):
I have told bits and peas of those stories on
other occasions. Maybe that's something I will revisit at some
point and just do like a whole podcast or at
least a good chunk, right, tell more about that, But anyway,
one of the people was a woman who was a uh,

(40:20):
a Southern Baptist, and she I think she had the
worst case. We actually, uh, well, we fled her house
because the possession, like the exorcism, the exercis I hate
to laugh, but like the exorcism and clearing, I don't
think was being conducted by the most expert individual and

(40:43):
it wasn't going very well, and it was just agitating
her more and more, and she started speaking in weirder
and weirder languages and becoming just like more and more aggressive,
and finally she was just like flipping out. And the
next thing we know, um, one of her family members
brought out a gun, and I mean like we fled

(41:06):
the scene. She was a Southern Baptist. I don't know
what happened to her. But the other one actually was
an atheist until he had his experience and his uh experience,
and it was pretty bad. I mean, he was speaking
all the weird languages, he was convulsing, there were some

(41:29):
there were some weird anomalies that were appearing around him
on camera and that sort of thing. Uh. It's always
very scary and creepy to be around that situation, whether
you believe in demons or not, because you know, people
are just flipping out anyway. Uh, he cleansed his spirits. Uh.
And he became a Lutheran after that, So the atheist

(41:52):
became religious became a Lutheran. So those are my only
two experiences. But this is an excellent question for or
my friend the exorcist of Bishop Brian will Lette, and
I did an interview with him. I think it was
episode thirty six of this show, and so if you're

(42:12):
interested in questions like that, you should go back and yep,
there it is episode thirty six and listen to that,
and you can even contact him and ask him about it. Okay,
next question, Okay, well this is actually um here's this
is a very lengthy email. I'm just gonna read bits
and pieces of it. I got it from a man

(42:32):
named Robert. I'm not sure where he lives. He says,
Dear Joshua Pe minus the period Warren, Since you have
read my first email and quoted me on another podcast,
I wanted to share some more experiments. He says. Whenever
I do a candle burning spell, I put everything in

(42:53):
a large pot and burn the candles inside my oven.
I can close the oven. Door, leaving a small crack
to let in just enough air to keep the candles alive.
And this way I can leave the spell unattended for
hours and not have to worry about my magic starting
a house fire. It's my take on which is using

(43:14):
a cauldron in their fireplace. I just did this with
a love spell, and I put the written spell under
the plate holding the candles. Okay, so that's an interesting tip.
And then he goes all right. Also, he says, I
finally found the perfect gargoyle. I don't believe I have
any bad luck or evil lurking around, but after hearing
your podcast, I became obsessed with them, and I started

(43:37):
watching the Gargoyles animated series on Disney Plus. I purchased
the Gargoles Awakening board game at Target, and I just
now received my new guardian in the mill. The artist
calls him Brutus, and I might keep that name. I'll
sit him in my four year opposite my front door
so he can watch and warn all who would enter.

(43:59):
And he goes on to say, I'm also experimenting with
attracting a little man quote unquote little man. This idea
was inspired by yet another of your podcast I have
a friend who not only sees dead people, she also
sees other worldly beings, including fairies, and she sometimes goes
out into the woods to get cleansed of negative energy

(44:21):
and recharge. And one time a tree told her the
fairy folk wanted to work with her. She talks the
trees too, he says in parentheses. So a fairy followed
her home, and this fairy went along with her shopping
for the perfect house at it picked everything, including the

(44:42):
color of paint for the house, the cups to put
offerings in, and a ceramic swan. I decided to do
a similar thing for a little men, and I intend
to offer pipe tobacco and whiskey. I don't have my
project set up quite yet, as I'm working on a
way to keep the box accessible to the little eyes
but also keep it out of the elements. But I

(45:02):
wanted to to let you know I'm working on this
project and keep you posted. And then he goes on
to say thanks for reading my emails. Hearing you read
my first email on your podcast ranks at the top
of my quote this is so super cool list at
number two, right behind my number one, which was when

(45:24):
I tweeted photos from my ten hour May the Fourth
be with You party, and the official Star Wars show
showed my pictures and read my tweet on their weekly
video broadcast, and yes, I have your Force book and
the Star Wars are too. D two Blue Wishing Machine.

(45:52):
This is great. He sent me some pictures. It's all
really really fantastic stuff. Robert, thank you for that. I
appreciate it. Not I'm so glad that you're having fun
experimenting with all these things. And that's what it's all about,
doing things for yourself, remaining independent. We're getting short on
time here, so let me I think I have time
to fit in one of my occasional segments I call

(46:16):
mental manna, where I just give you some random thought
from my head and see what you think about it. Well,
years ago, I was traveling and I was by myself,
and I stopped at an airport. I had lay over there.
I can't remember which one it was. It was here
in the United States, and uh, you know, if I

(46:38):
have some time to kill the airport, yeah, I'll just
go to a bar. And I usually just drink a
glass of wine or something like that at the bar
and just hang out like everybody else. Kill some time.
So here I was at this bar and uh, as
I'm sitting there, this old, bent over, white haired man
who and I may have said told you this story before,

(46:59):
I don't know. He looked like he was a hundred
and twenty years old. And he comes dragging up there
and he asked for a beer. I think he just
wanted like a bud light. And the bartender said, I
need to see your i D please, And the old
man his eyebrows popped up and his eyes were still

(47:20):
very clear and blue, and he said, are you serious,
And he goes, yeah, I'm sorry. That's the policy, you know,
everybody has to show an I D here. And he goes, well,
what's in my bag? I gotta dig it. I'm sorry.
He made this old man get down and dig through
his bag and take out his driver's license to show
it to him before he would give him a beer.

(47:42):
And I saw that, and I thought to myself, look,
I understand following rules, and I'm a law abiding citizen,
but don't you think there's a certain point at which
you just have to say, I'm not a robot, and
I can think myself, and I can if I have

(48:02):
to break the rules, a little bit and use common sense.
Then I should do that for a common sense scenario.
I think that's sort of where we've we've we've fallen
short here as a society. We've lost some common sense
independent thinking about just being reasonable and helping other people out.

(48:24):
And just so you know, I guess my mental manner is,
don't be a robot. Okay, please think for yourself, Please
be independent, keep your own positive mindset, and hopefully this
will help you do it. Okay, here we go. I'm
gonna play for you the weekly good Fortune tone at
lasts for twenty seconds. If you can close your eyes,

(48:45):
take a deep breath, and hopefully this will help you
have a great week. Here it is. That's it for
