Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Brass Valley looks peaceful, rolling fields, pine breaks, winding rivers,
small towns, But underneath that calm surface, there's a history
full of ghosts, mysteries, frontier violence, strange creatures, and local
legends that refuse to die. Today, we're exploring ten hotspots
right here in my own Brows's Valley, places with hauntings, folklore, ryptids,
(00:25):
unexplained sightings, and local whispers that are locally whispered about
but rarely discussed. So we're going to get back into
hauntings just for a few minutes. This is actually going
to cover everything. We're gonna cover hauntings, We're gonna cover bigfoot, ghosts, UFOs,
(00:46):
and other cryptied creatures I've never heard about. So in
this podcast we're going to be talking about all that.
So let's start with the Lasaw Hotel. This is a
haunted hotel actually just literally like a mile from my house.
We live really clear so downtown Bryan here in Texas.
So this is going to center around my area in Texas.
(01:07):
When we left Orange County, I sat because I was like, Okay,
there are no hanted places or there's not going to
be a lot of paranormal activity. Where are we and
where we're moving to. I've missed Black Star Canyon and
San juac Apistrano and going to La and San Diego
and investigating those places, but I had no idea how
paranomy active. My area that we just moved into is
(01:30):
about six years ago, including whatever it's going on in
my backyard in the forest behind my house. So yeah,
we'll get into that in future investigations. And yes, we
will be doing investigations soon. You guys just start getting
your investigations probably once a week. Once I get done filming,
I'm going to get a little bit ahead so in
(01:50):
case something happens, you know. But anyways, a lot of
these places we're going to basically be investigating a man
and I. We're going to plan a trip to the
well A hotel. That's gonna be our first location. Let
me just read the rest of these to you. Historical
Downtown Brian has old saloons, stories and tunnels, which I've
(02:10):
been into a few of them. Boomville, Texas, Now, this
is just up the road from downtown Historical Brian. It
actually was the original town here before Brian kind of
took over, and there's a lot of history there. Unfortunately,
it's now just kind of like a caged end park.
(02:32):
Basically historical town, old ghost town that you can go to,
and it's supposed to be extremely haunted. I guess there's
a cemetery out there, and we'll get into that. The
Boomville River bottoms, Bigfoot and dog man sightings. I've been
exploring this quite a bit lately, so we'll talk about
that tradition's golf area, shadowy figure and woods activity. So
(02:57):
we'll get into this a little bit more Lake Brian
Ufo sightings and night creatures, so we'll get into that
as well. Lick Creek Park, this is in downtown College
Station spirits and encryptid activity. And yeah, I definitely want
to talk about that old Texas Speedway abandoned and haunted. Okay,
(03:19):
we'll get into that Minesota River corridor, Bigfoot and dog
man reports and you here, you know. Yeah, and then
old Hern wrote Wickson to Brian, ghostly, hitchhiker and lights. Okay,
so let's talk about these. So let's start back up
with the Las All Hotel. I've talked about the Lasall
(03:40):
many times. I actually helped do the ghost tours in
downtown Brian for a while until I became too busy
and wasn't able to do it anymore. Unfortunately, I was
busy with you guys, joing the podcast and other things,
but I also had to work, so I wasn't able
to continue on with that. Unfortunately, this hotel has had
just so many tragedies even when it was being built,
(04:04):
and they just they just had all kinds of bad
things happened. So there's an apparison known as Fred. He
supposedly haunts the hotel. He's a former owner. One of
the hotel owners actually was on top of the roof
back in the day. There actually was power lines that
went across the power lines, but across the top of
(04:25):
the roof, about fifteen feet up, ten fifteen feet up
or something like that. And the story goes, and I'm
not going to say this is the actual story, but
this is a story told to me by a witness
who was actually there. He actually worked for the LASOL.
I don't know if he still does. He was a
bartender and he was up helping the owner and they
had to take measurements for insurance purposes. They didn't know
(04:47):
how wide the building was from one side to the
other one side to the other, so that both big
old metal tape measure and I don't know if you've
ever seen him, they basically those big wind up tape measures,
probably one hundred so they're big. And he had in
his hand and down here and Brian, it gets windy,
It gets really windy. Just out of nowhere. We get
(05:08):
a lot of storms and stuff that blow through. And
before the storms blow through, we get heavy, heavy winds
thirty forty fifty to sixty mile in our gus come
through sometimes. So long story is short. He was pulling
the tape measure out and he had in his hand
and had the other guy standing on the side with
a little tip of the measuring tape holding it to
(05:29):
the wall. He was walking across the roof right below
the power line, and the store goes that basically the
wind caught it and blew it up into the power line.
And these these old measuring tapes were actually metal, they
weren't like hotton or a cloth like they are now.
And supposedly that end went up and hit the power
(05:50):
line and came down. He was on the other edge
of the roof at this point in time and essentially
sapped him, and supposedly that caused him to have heart attack,
any fell to his death five stories below. Now, what
I understand from the people that work there is he
actually had a heart attack right before the wire hit
(06:11):
the actual power line and he fell. He had already
passed away before he died. But he loved that hotel.
He just loved being there and stuff like that. Supposedly
still a prankster, supposedly still haunts things. Supposedly he still
also is very helpful. And a lot of the people
that work there quit because he was. They were afraid
(06:34):
of him. Unfortunately, they were afraid of the activity. But
one of the managers there told me lots of stories
about stuff that he used to do. She would bury
coins and ask him maybe because he could move them,
she'd bury them in the little potted plants, and she'd
find him in other places. Supposedly a printer would come
on and to start printing papers for no reason. They
(06:56):
would see things move, a lot of gas reports, shadowy figures,
footsteps in the middle night, and stuff like that, and
apparitions they actually have seen him. And then if you
go down below in the basement, workers who used to
work there while they were building the hotel essentially had
(07:18):
their tools moved around and stacked against the wall. And
then they've also heard basically they've heard like voices coming
from the other room. And then when the speakeasy is open.
I don't know if it's they just remodeled the hotel unfortunately,
maybe for the for a good thing. It's probably a
(07:39):
good thing that they did it. I heard it was
in disrepair, but anyways, they fixed up the hotel. It's
supposed to beautiful inside now, so it's definitely worth going
out and checking out if you like the paranormal, but
stay at the Little HSA Hotel here. Brian is beautiful.
At downtown Brian air is also very haunted. We'll get
it in a second. Anyways, so they hear voices coming
(08:01):
from the other room, things move inside the speakeasy. I've
actually talked to the owner of the Speak Easy and
he had a lot of stories to tell. So if
you ever get a chance to go down there, if
you're over twenty one and you get a chance to
go down there, go check out the basement and if
you're able to get into the speakeasy, go talk with
the owners and see what they have to say. Also,
(08:22):
there's supposedly a woman who was in the bathroom. One
of the owners was closing up one night and was
just checking downstairs in the basement to make sure that
nobody got left behind. He was checking the restrooms, saw
a woman go into the bathroom stall and she closed
the door. And then when he went to knock on
the door to check on her and asked her to leave,
(08:42):
he finally opened. He said, she came running out and
went past him and went to the back door and disappeared.
She never actually opened the door, she just disappeared at
the back door. So that's pretty cool. Cool ghost story there,
all right, So let's continue on with historical downtown Brian. Now,
I used to be able to do the ghost tours
(09:02):
down there. There's a lot of old reports of apparitions
and stuff like that. So there was an old deputy
that actually, unfortunately was stabbed death right in front of
Murphy Murphy's Law down there, and he was on duty
one night. And they used to carry a billy club,
(09:25):
not a I don't know if they carry gun. This
is back in the forties, I think, so they weren't.
I don't know if they were carrying pistols or not.
But they used to enforce the law with the old
billy club, right, just a short not like the big
bitons you see him carrying today, but a billy club.
So this gentleman I'm not going to tell his name,
comes walking out of a bar and he's been known
to cause problems and he's drunk and whatever else. And
(09:47):
he essentially came walking out and decided that he was
going to cause a problem. And so the deputy went
over there and and told him to you know, keep
it down and basically keep you know, keep the peace
and whatever else. And he smacks the months off the
(10:08):
hoptas side of the head with the little bully club
and that really pissed this gentleman off. And unbeknownst to
the deputy, he had a knife in his pocket, pulled
out the knife and stabbed him. And unfortunately the officer
didn't actually die on the concrete there. He actually ended
up dying back in the at a residence in Townstown, Brian.
(10:32):
But he is said to haunt that area, the old
theater down there. Uh, the one. Uh. I'm not going
to mention names because I don't want to get in
trouble with downtown. I do live there around here. I
don't want to get into too much trouble. But anyways,
the old theater, you'll notice it basically doesn't have a
roof or anything like that, but it still used as
a theater. It's it's been refurbished and stuff like that.
(10:55):
There was a janitor working there one night, and essentially
he was out there and cleaning, and he kept hearing
a voice and this voice kept saying you need to leave,
that you got to go, and the story goes I've
heard many different renditions. I've read many renditions also online.
(11:17):
Story goes that he was in there for about an
hour cleaning and whatever this was just would not leave
him alone. He felt uncomfortable and finally got to the
point where he just left, and the story goes that.
There's one story that says a few minutes after he left,
the building actually collapsed. The roof caved in from the building.
And there's another rendition that goes it was a two
(11:39):
or three hours later that it actually caved in. So
whatever version you like is great. So yeah, I don't
know which one it was, but it's crazy that a
ghost actually helped him and told him, hey, you need
to go. You shouldn't be in here. This is you know,
this is about to collapse. You need to go. Got
him out to safety and before everything collapsed in and
(12:01):
so nobody actually has perished if you followed my investigations
over the years. We've been doing this so long, We've
been through so many theaters. Theaters tend to hold a
lot of paranormal activity. There's just so much energy and
all this other stuff that goes into theaters. I mean,
almost every theater I've ever been called to, we've actually
(12:22):
been a will prove not that it's haunted, but that
there was paranormal activity going on at the location, and
that you know, there were entities there that were still
enjoying the theaters. Unfortunately, a lot of the time it
was through suicides. The theater crossed the way from the
theater I was just talking about. Again, I will not
(12:43):
mention any names or anything like that or locations. Was
used as a morgue at some point and during the
forties and fifties basically, And I'm not going to get
into the story too much because I don't want to
get my self in trouble. I know, the store society
doesn't really like it when you talk negatively about that.
(13:06):
And I'm not trying to put this in any positive
I mean any negative way. So anyways, there are people
that haunt the theater across the way too. All of
downtown Brian seems to have different entities. What people don't
realize this area, the Browsers Valley and surrounding areas too.
There was a lot of stuff that happened here. So
(13:28):
Number one, you had when the settlers first came in.
There was German settlers, there's Polish settlers, there was Spanish settlers,
there was Mexican settlers, people from all over the world.
This place is kind of like a melting point for settlers, right,
So when they came here, the natives that actually lived
(13:50):
here were not too fond of them, let's just put
it that way. And they didn't get along. And I'm
trying to keep this PG guys, so bear with me.
I'm you can figure out what I'm saying if you're older,
and but we do have a young audience, to just
bear with me. Anyways, they fought a lot, right, There
was a lot of a lot of fighting that happened
(14:10):
between the two you know, civilizations and stuff like that,
and so a lot of bad things happened out here,
and then also downtown Brian, mainly with saloons. Believe it
or not, it's not a small town. It's a pretty
good sized town. And basically it became a town in
nineteen oh four. And the historical buildings, a lot of
(14:33):
historical buildings are still here. And we'll talk about Boonville
in just a minute, but originally the town was actually
named Boonville, not Brian. And what it was was the settlement,
and I think what there was about eighteen hundred settlers
originally here. And then William J. Bryan brought his family
in and other people followed him in and they started
(14:58):
building a bigger town. And little by little they started
to sell cotton and corn, and that became a staple
here and it still is today. And so what happened
was as they developed farms and created plantations and all
this stuff, they pushed the Indians out, the Native Americans out,
(15:20):
and eventually then the settlers won. Unfortunately, they couldn't just
kind of, you know, whatever you want to call it.
I don't want to be disrespectful to either group anyway.
So once that settlement got big enough, everything kind of
calmed down, if you will, and then the railroad came
(15:42):
through in nineteen oh four. When that happened, the whole
town of Brian basically boomed, right. It went from about
eighteen hundred people it's about sixty thousand in about ten years.
So it just massively grew. Plantations popped up everywhere, you know,
and unfortunately there were people that were not treated very well.
(16:07):
Slaves and stuff were a big thing out here, and
so you have that energy as well from out here.
There's just a lot of things that happened in the
Brows's Valley and of course around all of Texas and
other states too, but especially we're just focusing on the
Browss Valley, so that energy is still here. A lot
of that energy is still here. I mean, we've helped
(16:29):
people that lived over by Boonville that we came across
a family of slaves that lived basically on this land. Unfortunately,
they perished in a fire where an old hotel was.
And I've talked about this slave owner before. She was
not a nice lady. But anyways, their structure, the hotel,
(16:49):
all these people perished in the fire and actually was
able to do research and find out that the fire
was actually a real thing that really happened, so they
were basically living, you know, working on a plantation and
stuff like that. So anyways, this whole area, I just
want to give you guys kind of a rundown of
why this area is so haunted. It seems like downtown
(17:12):
Bryan is like the mecca, and we live, like I said,
we lived lessened mile away. I mean, if you drove
straight line from where we live to downtown Bryan, we
basically would be in We're in Brian, but I mean
we would basically be on the west side of Bryan
of the town. So there was probably old settlements out
here and stuff like that. It's just very overgrown with
(17:34):
forests and stuff, and they've been developing it a lot lately.
So yeah, there's been a lot of bad things that
have happened in the Browser Valley, a lot of tragic events.
The Harvey massacre where the Harvey family was slaughtered just
outside of town by Indians, And I've talked about this before,
(17:55):
so you guys can go back and listen about that before.
So anyways, like I said, there's a lot of old
saloons and stories downtown Brian, used to have basements, if
you ever watched the old videos or old shows, and
sometimes they still show them today, like in New York
where you see them bringing the meat down into the
(18:16):
basement in New York. Well, downtown Brian used to be
that way too. A lot of people don't realize that
there used to be another level underneath where the street
is now, and there are actual basements and stuff under there.
And what a lot of people don't know is this
area runs on wells. We drink well water. We don't
(18:37):
have like water pumped in from somewhere else. We have
wells all over the place out here. And so underneath
the basements of a lot of the stores, a lot
of them are closed off now. But this little girl
named Wendy, and I'm not gonna say where the story is,
but the basements were dark right Basically, there was just
a big open hole where they would draw take a
(19:00):
bucket with a rope attached, and they drop it down
in there and they pull up their water. And that's
where they got their water, right for the businesses and
whatever else in the homes. She unfortunately somehow, I mean
imagine being down there with a candle and it's really
hard to see. I mean, if you've ever gone in
with a really dull flashlight to a really pitch black area,
(19:20):
you can't see much more than what the surrounding light is, right,
So she unfortunately fell into that well drowned. She's one
of the ghosts that haunts downtown Brian. And I don't
know if I ever told the story, but I used
to talk to Indy all the time. She used to
come through our ghost box and on the spirit box,
and we would make contact with her and we would
(19:43):
try and communicate with her and get the other spirits
to communicate with her as well. They don't really like
her that much in downtown Brian. So she always told
me she wanted to come home with me. And if
you're a paranormal investigator, you know that when you tell
a spirit it can come home with you. You just it's
not a good idea to ever allow a spirit to
come home with you. It doesn't matter how long you've
(20:05):
been communicating with that spirit. And even if you're one
hundred percent sure that that spirit is a spirit, right,
not something else, it's still very you gotta be very
cautious about allowing something to come home with you. Because
you could open up a can of worms that you
don't want. So anyways, when Doy we communicate with us,
(20:25):
and you know, she would follow us around downtown and
at least talk to her all the time. And she
was a great little girl. She would I was coming
home when I had caught in my car and I
had just cleared myself. And if you've never heard me
say this, and you're done with an investigation, right, even
if you just go somewhere that's supposedly haunted, maybe spend
the night in haunt an hotel. When you get in
(20:47):
your car, you get your first stop light, first stop sign, whatever,
first stop. You always want to clear yourself. If there's
anything with me, you can't go home with me, and
you need to go back to where you came from.
And then when you get to halfway home, same thing.
When you get home, you just want to clear yourself again.
You don't ever say an anger. You just want to say,
very strictly, if there's anything with me, you can't go
(21:10):
home with me. Right. So I was doing that and
then on my satellite radio, this little Girl's what comes
through and it says go home, and I'm like, no,
Inde you're not going with me. I upset her, unfortunately,
and after that I didn't really have much communication with her,
but I've heard that she does get communicated with a lot.
(21:31):
There's a lot of little spirits, kid's spirits in downtown
Brian that communicate with people. They're very playful and very
fun to communicate with. But there's a lot of paranormal
We came across what forty or fifty spirits in downtown Brian.
There's an old priest. If you're walking down Main Street
at the road next to it, there's a plaque on
(21:53):
the wall across from a Wili Saw hotel and there's
a priest name there, and he does communicate with us.
He's very strong, he's very protective of that area, and
he's a really cool spirit. Got to forget his name. Anyways,
I'll be talking about I could talk about Brian all
(22:13):
night long, So let's talk about Boomville. So I've actually
not really been to Boomville. We've driven by it, and
unfortunately we were planning on going there right before COVID happened,
and ever since the gates have been locked. You can't
get in there. I don't know what exactly is going
on with that. If you guys are local and you
(22:34):
know you're able to maybe help us get into Boomville,
we would love the opportunity. If you've ever been to Boomville,
Texas and you've been able to get in there and investigate.
I know I've talked to a couple of people that
had the opportunity and they had a lot of activity.
It's said to be extremely haunted by the people that
used to be there. There's an old cemetery that actually
(22:56):
is supposed to be extremely haunted too. Are seen walking
through foundation of the ruins of the old buildings out there.
Misty forms are seen by the old cemetery. Whispering is
heard along the trails, and I imagine that they're inside
those buildings. They still have old buildings that they've restored.
(23:17):
It looked like old cabins. They imagine they're very haunted too. Basically,
the folklore is from frontier deaths, pidemics, and violence left
his spiritual mark. Again, that isn't even older than downtown Bryan,
and that goes back in probably until eighteen forty ish time.
(23:39):
Let me look and see if I can find a
little bit more information about that. So it's established in
eighteen forty one by and it was named for Mordecai Boone.
He was a Texas ranger. So I'm not gonna read
this to you guys. The courthouse a significant local gathering spot.
(24:03):
So that's basically what kept the town alive was the
fact that there was actually a gathering spot like that.
The courthouse I hear from when I understand General Sam Houston,
but frequent there. And then in eighteen sixty six, basically
(24:23):
the railroad came into Brian. I thought it was nineteen
oh three, but essentially in eighteen sixty six they started
building the rail road towards Brian, and basically that's what
basically stopped Boomville from essentially staying, you know, a prominent town.
They moved it towards this way, and they used to
(24:45):
move a lot of cotton and corn through the city
of Brian, and that's basically what caused Boonville to die.
But again, if you guys know more about Boomville police,
feel free to comment down below, like if you've been
there and calm it down below, I'd love to hear
about it. All right, So the Braws's River bottoms this
(25:07):
is Bigfoot in dog Man's sightings. I've heard a lot,
a lot, a lot a lot about this lately. And
we'll get into Lake Brian here in a minute. But
I've heard over by my work over by my work,
the Brass River actually runs right by it. And then
of course the Bross River runs about two or three
(25:30):
miles from my house. And there's also a lot of
little creeks and little they call them rivers, but there's
a lot of little creeks that basically run through Texas.
I mean, there's so many waterways out here, it's not
even funny because it's usually Texas gets a lot of rain.
So essentially those little waterways spill into the Brass River.
(25:52):
So it isn't it is possible for whatever like bigfoots
or dog Man to walk up those creeks. I know
there's a lot of deer, there's a lot of wildlife
out here. I mean this is basically literally this area
is forested. Let Browse's Valley is very forested. We're on
the if you're looking at Texas, if you split Texas
(26:13):
in half and you go to the right, if you're
looking straight at Texas on a map, we're part of
it pretty much. We're not East Texas, but we're middle
to East Texas. And as you go further east towards
the Louisiana border, the more woodsy it gets. So yeah,
I mean, it's just it's it's crazy how many, how
many forests are here, and this is a very wet
(26:34):
and rainy area. So anyways, all right, so both hunters
and fishermen have claimed to see large bipedal creatures crossing
the river. There's loud, deep howls at night, wolfhead creatures
seen near the tree lines, rocks thrown at fishermen, sudden
silence followed by heavy footsteps. So this all that all
(26:58):
sounds like bigfoot, like you know things to me. You
get rocks thrown hows. Lately, there has been a lot
of people reporting in Brian College Station gunshots, but they're
coming from the forested areas. Now, remember I told you
I think there's something the whole podcast about the thing
(27:20):
in my backyard. We've been hearing the same lighting bang sounds.
They don't sometimes they sound like a gun, sometimes they don't.
Usually it's a single bang and it's coming from the
forest to areas and I'm looking at him, going what
the hell and I have. I've been collecting data, guys.
I've been collecting data, and I'm not going to show
you guys on here because I want to show you
(27:42):
when we do the actual investigation. Man, I've been scouting
this area. I got stopped by I think I talked
about this on a podcat or so. Recently. I got
stopped by guy over at a gas station on my
way to work, real close to the Braws River. He
has a farm out there, and he's says that, you know,
bigfoots are stealing stuff from his garden. I have the
(28:04):
same thing. My pear tree has to be it's going
to be pushing thirty feet now, twenty five thirty feet tall.
It's huge. It's gotten so big and lost three or
four years. It's just taken off anyways. Some of those
pairs are fifteen feet up, fifteen to twenty feet up
in that tree. I mean, I had to get a
ladder two years ago to get up there. And if
(28:27):
I have a twelve foot ladder and I could, I
was up at almost the very top rung. I could
barely reach those. So you know, I'm six feet so
on a twelve foot ladder. Probably about about fourteen feet up.
Something's are reaching up and grabbing this pears that I
don't know what that noise was anyways, that's crazy to me.
(28:51):
And he's saying that they're stealing corn, and there's corn.
There's corn fields all around us. We have farmers all
around us, specifically on the way to work. A lot
of deer out here, and so I don't know if
the thing behind my house is a dog man. I'm
hoping it's not. I've heard a lot of reports over
at Lake Bryan about dog man. People are reporting dog
(29:13):
man over there. Again, that's just like I don't know,
three or four miles from my house. There's a lot
of hogs over there, a big population of hogs. Unfortunately,
So and all this stuff is I'm starting to go, okay,
wait a minute, it's like we're in and then of
course UFOs. There's a lot of UFOs reported in this area.
(29:33):
I've seen a lot of strange things in this area
driving home and stuff like that. And a lot of
people actually have been at my work, and even the
crews because I work for I work with the railroad.
A lot of the crews are now coming in reporting
stuff to me. As well, and I don't want to
get into that too much, but they're seeing strange lights
in the sky, they're seeing possible bigfoots stuff like that
(29:55):
coming through these areas. So it's very, very possible that
dog Man and Bigfoot are in this area. They've been reported.
You know, they talked about the Texas Triangle. We're not
quite in the Texas Triangle, but I wouldn't I would
imagine that they're down this area too, because we're very woodsy,
h and as you get further to the east of Texas,
(30:18):
they're spotted more over there. So all right, so let's
talk about this. So this is this Transition golf area.
This is not very far from my house either. Shadow
figures and woods, woods activity. So the report, the local
joggers and hikers are reporting tall, shadowy figures moving through
(30:39):
the forest and trees. Now, when Bigfoot moves through the trees,
I mean, if you've ever seen the tree lines at
night and there's any light at all, let's just say
there's moonlight out, they look like they look like a
shadowy figure a bigfoot does, because there's a lot of
the times they have darker fur and so all you're
seeing is they're silhouette, so it's very possible that they
(31:02):
could possibly and again, I mean a dog man would
look like that too. Like I said, there's a lot
of wooded areas still in Brian and College Station. We're
surrounded by woods and then farms of course too, but
a lot of downtown Brian still has woodsy areas. So
(31:23):
let's see something pacing in the woods. Eye shine at
unusual heights, and I know the eye shine behind my house.
You know, those eyes are size of baseballs. I mean
they're not small. I can see how big they are.
Remember at Joe's that's what taught me the eye shine
because we would see them literally like blink. You can
(31:44):
see them blink their eyes and their eyes are out here.
They're you know, my eyes are what three four inches apart?
These things are eight ten, twelve inches apart, and they're
not low. I've gone and measured the areas that are
at They're at twelve feet or taller. Some of them.
I've gone to stand stood in the area is where
I saw these things during the day, using the camera
(32:06):
to kind of gauge the height. I'm six foot two
and these things are two feet taller than me. I mean,
these things come across behind my fence, are two three
feet above my fence, and the de fence is basically
down at the bottom of a six foot burn, so
that we can basically see right over the burn over
the fence line where we have the overflow area. And
(32:29):
that's why I've been seeing all those things. They come out,
they come to the edge of the woods. They don't
come out of the woods usually, but they do come
to the edge of the woods. So very interesting that
they're seeing that over there. That's, like I said, that's
not very far from my house. And again I've told
you guys, I think that they use creeks and stuff
like that as highways, and there is a creek right
(32:52):
behind my house. I mean literally where I'm seeing this,
and imagine that these people that are hiking again, there's
a lot of creeks, there's a lake over there and
stuff like that. I've not actually been into this area.
I want to get over there. They're doing a lot
of construction, so I don't know what the rules are
for hiking over there after dark. I know there's a
camping area, so I would be very interested to check
(33:14):
this out and we may do an episode, a bigfoot
episode on this where actually go investigate and we'll take
you guys with us. So getting into Lake Brian, the
UFO lights and night creatures again, they're talking more about
bigfoots and dog Man. But I have seen things over there.
(33:36):
I have a friend that actually owns property over by
that area and she has farm. She lives over by
the farmland just outside of where that is, and she's
seen UFOs over there as well. I drive up in
that area to come and go for work, and I've
seen things I can't explain now. I was driving home
one night and not it was towards the Lake Brian area,
(33:59):
but not I saw. I thought it was just a
plane flying in that area right until it stopped and hovered.
I'm like, okay, it must be a some kind of helicopter,
and this is it? What one o'clock in the morning,
And it just stopped if flying straight, came across and
stopped in the middle of sky, I'm like, what the heck?
(34:19):
And then it basically just faded out, just faded out.
So I was like, Okay, that's really strange. I have
no explanation for that. I don't know what that was
at this point I can call the UFO because I
can't put any other name to it at this point.
I don't think any plane would stop and then turn
its lights out. I don't think a helicopter would stop
and turn its lights out. And for my skeptics, I
(34:41):
know you're thinking, Okay, well, maybe it just turned in
a way you could see the lights, but it never reshowed.
It never showed back up. I watched it for an hour.
It just never showed back up. So the reports over
at Lake Brian are triangle shaped lights moving silently. I've
seen this. I've seen someone like this in the daytime.
I actually went to grab my camera and it was
(35:01):
too far away. It almost looked like a blimp. Whatever
it was was huge orbs dropping into the water. So
you know, if you guys know of usos off the coast,
usually seen in the oceans, something large walking along the
tree line. We actually stayed at Lake Brian. We did
an investigation. We never heard anything that night. We were
(35:24):
only there for one night and we didn't want to
get in trouble for going out walking around in the
woods at night. We will do that sooner or later.
Voices heard across the lake when no one's around, and
then rocks thrown near campsites. Again, that sounds like Bigfoot
or dog Man activity. I don't know if dog Man
really throw rocks at people. They could. All right, so
(35:47):
let's talk about Lick Creek Park, big park spirits, encrectid activity.
Don't hurry up because I got another podcast coming on here, guys. Okay,
so the claims are of a woman crying in the
distance when the is empty, dark shaped crossing, dark shapes
crossing the trail, possible Bigfoot prints found in the rain. Ooh,
that's interesting, trees breaking in the deeper woods. Okay, so
(36:11):
definitely got to go check this place out right, Jagger
stocked my unseen presence. That's really interesting. And then as
always say, if you look. I'm not going to be
sure my pins probably publicly until I probably retire, which
will never probably happen. But on my Bigfoot pins, I've
pinned thousands of locations across all the United States and
(36:33):
start working on the world. But every pin I've got
dropped has UFO sightings, haunted, Bigfoot, and possibly dog Man,
and they're all in the same area. It's very strange, right,
So I didn't you know I wasn't going to share that.
But anyways, it's very strange how all four of those
(36:54):
things and maybe other things too that I haven't heard
about or whatever, all seen in the same locations. That's
very strange to me, so very possible that. You know, again,
this area is very wooded, guys, I know everybody. Oh, well,
bigfoots will live out in the woods. Yeah, No, I
don't think so. I think there are big There are
bigfoot reports from the Brows Valley going back to the
(37:17):
early Indians here, and I don't think. I think as
population centers have kind of boomed and pushed them out
there on the outskirts. They stay on the outskirts, but
they do come into town every once in a while,
or they bay use the river weys in the woods
to migrate through to get to other places. Okay, Old
Texas Worldly Speedway abandoned and haunted. Unfortunately this place is
(37:41):
now gone. It has been bulldozed. It was between College
Station and Avisota, and there was voices heard around the
banded track, shoutout figures in the bleachers, apparitions of people
from the past races, and strange lights over the field.
So mainly haunted, but I would imagine that basically, it's
(38:04):
had a lot of residual activity. It makes me wonder
if the people that you know came to this event
or whatever, I've just left their energy there. I mean again,
it's another place where a lot of energy was poured
in when you're sitting and cheering and you're excited and
all this energy just you exhale all this energy into
(38:26):
a location. People are speeding for their favorite you know
driver and all this other stuff. Just makes me wonder
if all that energy got left, and maybe it's just
kind of rerunning in history. My niece actually lives over
in this place now where the new homes were built
over there, So I'll have to discuss with her if
(38:46):
she's experiencing any paranormal activity, because she is a little
bit sensitive. So maybe she can tell us more if
she's experiencing any activity from this location or not. So
if you guys live over there where those speedway was,
let us know, calm it down below. I'd love to
hear if you're experiencing a paranormal activity. All right, So
(39:06):
the now River Corridor, they're experiencing Bigfoot in dog Man Again,
this is in the south of browsers valley. It's a
huge They're reporting huge bibtal creatures spotted near the river crossings,
grawls and screams not matching local wildlife, fresh tree breaks.
Hunters reporting a wolf standing on its two legs. So
(39:30):
that's a description of what they call dog man. And
if you don't know what a dog man is, it's
a can be a bipedal. It looks like a were
wolf except for it doesn't have paws, has fingers like humans,
and they usually have sharp fingers, fingernails. They are said
to be basically, they are said to hunt hunt humans supposedly. Again,
(39:55):
that could go into your missing four one one reports.
I think a lot of that's I think a lot
of those reports, you know, are misidentified. But I don't
really think Bigfoot are taking all those people. I think
it's other things happening too. I think people are are
being murdered up there, and other things are happening besides
bigfoot just taking everybody anyways. So basically it connects to
(40:21):
the sam Houston National Forest, which is a major bigfoot
and dog man region. Okay, so we've talked about We've
talked about, you know, the sam Houston National force many times.
We will be doing another investigation there, hopefully shortly, depending
on the weather. I'm thinking probably next year we're gonna
(40:43):
start filming again. I'm in the process of scouting locations,
which takes a dang a lot of time. Unfortunately, especially
the area behind my house. You don't just go I
mean a lot of people just go out to the
forest and start doing screams and howls and tree knocks
and expected, you know, experience something. That's not how bigfooting works.
(41:05):
When you go bigfooting, you have to look for the reports.
You have to find reports of old sightings, old places
where people were hearing tree knocks or people reporting screams
and howls. You have to look into it. You have
to do your research, and then you have to go
into these areas and see if there's any new activity.
(41:29):
You have to go out there and camp yourself. You
have to go out there at night and just sit
and listen and try and experience it for yourself. It
just takes a lot of time. You have to do
your homework before you just go into these locations and
start doing a full blood and bull bore investigation. Otherwise
you're going to be disappointed. Probably meet with witnesses see
(41:49):
if you can find any witnesses around the area. You
have to do a lot of research before you just
go in there. If you're lucky enough, maybe you meet
somebody that lives in the area, or and basically there
you're in to find more people. Maybe the neighbors had
an experience. Maybe there's a local pub that they can
take you to and introduce you around and just, you know,
(42:12):
slowly but surely, get people to kind of tell you
about their experiences. Maybe they live in the area, maybe
they've had an experience, maybe they've seen something, and so
on and so forth. And as you drop and as
you start to find locations around where they've had activity,
you can find like a it'll start to see a pattern.
You start to see a pattern. Okay, this house had activity,
(42:34):
this house had activity that one didn't put the house
down the road did. And as you start dropping these
pins on a map, you start to see a pattern. Okay,
so there's a lot of activity in kind of a
line or in this area, and then you get a
like a hub of that activity, and then you can
start investigating that area. Maybe you go camp there that night,
maybe you go just sit there. Maybe you do some
(42:56):
tree knots, maybe you leave cameras up and stuff like that.
So all right, guys, this is our last one. It's
Old Hearn Road and it says Brian to Wickson Valley,
and this says ghostly hitchhikers and lights. Now, I did
my research into this. The urban legends suggest and the
(43:16):
claims in the folklore are that a woman in white
is seen walking the roadsides. Again, this is another phantom hitchhiker.
It basically disappears when cars approach, bright lights move moving
ahead of drivers, shadowy figures darting across the road. Now
(43:36):
I've done my research into this. Now this could be right,
but essentially I think this basically is just something that
kind of got made up. So I don't mean to
devalue this. I mean you've if you've driven on Old
Hearn Road Brian to Wickson Valley and you've seen the hitchhiker,
or you've seen a shadow, or you've seen these lights,
(43:59):
please feel free to comment down below. I'm not I'm
not saying that this isn't real, but everything I've read
about it says that it's actually not this road, it's
it's other roads around it. Other areas like the Saratoga
Ghost Lights, which is another place I want to go
back because number one haunted, Number two bigfoots, and number
three UFOs. So yeah, I mean I've the reports I've
(44:25):
heard is that basically the people have picked up a
hitchhiking ghost. Usually it's a younger male or or you know,
just they pick up a female and she hops in
with them and they start driving down the road and
she tells them more she wants to get out, and
a lot of these reports go back to the sixties
(44:47):
and seventies and so basically, and sometimes they lend her
she's cold, so they lend her jacket or something to
keep warm. Than Jack Guy's being a gentleman. And when
they go to drop the female off number one, she's
not there. Or number two, if they've found they've offered
(45:08):
her a coat or something, they'll find it at the
cemetery and they'll find it at the at the lady's grave.
So that's pretty interesting. This seems like it's a very
haunted location. It's more mysterious in Live with folklore than
people really realize. Ghosts, cryptid UFOs, and frontier spirits. They
(45:30):
all seem to be part of the story. And the
more I look, the more the land's actually starting to talk.
All right, guys, I'm Matt with Deep WIT's Paranormal, and
we're making the paranormal normal. And we'll catch you guys
on the next one.
The Brass Valley looks peaceful, rolling fields, pine breaks, winding rivers,
small towns, But underneath that calm surface, there's a history
full of ghosts, mysteries, frontier violence, strange creatures, and local
legends that refuse to die. Today, we're exploring ten hotspots
right here in my own Brows's Valley, places with hauntings, folklore, ryptids,
(00:25):
unexplained sightings, and local whispers that are locally whispered about
but rarely discussed. So we're going to get back into
hauntings just for a few minutes. This is actually going
to cover everything. We're gonna cover hauntings, We're gonna cover bigfoot, ghosts, UFOs,
(00:46):
and other cryptied creatures I've never heard about. So in
this podcast we're going to be talking about all that.
So let's start with the Lasaw Hotel. This is a
haunted hotel actually just literally like a mile from my house.
We live really clear so downtown Bryan here in Texas.
So this is going to center around my area in Texas.
(01:07):
When we left Orange County, I sat because I was like, Okay,
there are no hanted places or there's not going to
be a lot of paranormal activity. Where are we and
where we're moving to. I've missed Black Star Canyon and
San juac Apistrano and going to La and San Diego
and investigating those places, but I had no idea how
paranomy active. My area that we just moved into is
(01:30):
about six years ago, including whatever it's going on in
my backyard in the forest behind my house. So yeah,
we'll get into that in future investigations. And yes, we
will be doing investigations soon. You guys just start getting
your investigations probably once a week. Once I get done filming,
I'm going to get a little bit ahead so in
(01:50):
case something happens, you know. But anyways, a lot of
these places we're going to basically be investigating a man
and I. We're going to plan a trip to the
well A hotel. That's gonna be our first location. Let
me just read the rest of these to you. Historical
Downtown Brian has old saloons, stories and tunnels, which I've
(02:10):
been into a few of them. Boomville, Texas, Now, this
is just up the road from downtown Historical Brian. It
actually was the original town here before Brian kind of
took over, and there's a lot of history there. Unfortunately,
it's now just kind of like a caged end park.
(02:32):
Basically historical town, old ghost town that you can go to,
and it's supposed to be extremely haunted. I guess there's
a cemetery out there, and we'll get into that. The
Boomville River bottoms, Bigfoot and dog man sightings. I've been
exploring this quite a bit lately, so we'll talk about
that tradition's golf area, shadowy figure and woods activity. So
(02:57):
we'll get into this a little bit more Lake Brian
Ufo sightings and night creatures, so we'll get into that
as well. Lick Creek Park, this is in downtown College
Station spirits and encryptid activity. And yeah, I definitely want
to talk about that old Texas Speedway abandoned and haunted. Okay,
(03:19):
we'll get into that Minesota River corridor, Bigfoot and dog
man reports and you here, you know. Yeah, and then
old Hern wrote Wickson to Brian, ghostly, hitchhiker and lights. Okay,
so let's talk about these. So let's start back up
with the Las All Hotel. I've talked about the Lasall
(03:40):
many times. I actually helped do the ghost tours in
downtown Brian for a while until I became too busy
and wasn't able to do it anymore. Unfortunately, I was
busy with you guys, joing the podcast and other things,
but I also had to work, so I wasn't able
to continue on with that. Unfortunately, this hotel has had
just so many tragedies even when it was being built,
(04:04):
and they just they just had all kinds of bad
things happened. So there's an apparison known as Fred. He
supposedly haunts the hotel. He's a former owner. One of
the hotel owners actually was on top of the roof
back in the day. There actually was power lines that
went across the power lines, but across the top of
(04:25):
the roof, about fifteen feet up, ten fifteen feet up
or something like that. And the story goes, and I'm
not going to say this is the actual story, but
this is a story told to me by a witness
who was actually there. He actually worked for the LASOL.
I don't know if he still does. He was a
bartender and he was up helping the owner and they
had to take measurements for insurance purposes. They didn't know
(04:47):
how wide the building was from one side to the
other one side to the other, so that both big
old metal tape measure and I don't know if you've
ever seen him, they basically those big wind up tape measures,
probably one hundred so they're big. And he had in
his hand and down here and Brian, it gets windy,
It gets really windy. Just out of nowhere. We get
(05:08):
a lot of storms and stuff that blow through. And
before the storms blow through, we get heavy, heavy winds
thirty forty fifty to sixty mile in our gus come
through sometimes. So long story is short. He was pulling
the tape measure out and he had in his hand
and had the other guy standing on the side with
a little tip of the measuring tape holding it to
(05:29):
the wall. He was walking across the roof right below
the power line, and the store goes that basically the
wind caught it and blew it up into the power line.
And these these old measuring tapes were actually metal, they
weren't like hotton or a cloth like they are now.
And supposedly that end went up and hit the power
(05:50):
line and came down. He was on the other edge
of the roof at this point in time and essentially
sapped him, and supposedly that caused him to have heart attack,
any fell to his death five stories below. Now, what
I understand from the people that work there is he
actually had a heart attack right before the wire hit
(06:11):
the actual power line and he fell. He had already
passed away before he died. But he loved that hotel.
He just loved being there and stuff like that. Supposedly
still a prankster, supposedly still haunts things. Supposedly he still
also is very helpful. And a lot of the people
that work there quit because he was. They were afraid
(06:34):
of him. Unfortunately, they were afraid of the activity. But
one of the managers there told me lots of stories
about stuff that he used to do. She would bury
coins and ask him maybe because he could move them,
she'd bury them in the little potted plants, and she'd
find him in other places. Supposedly a printer would come
on and to start printing papers for no reason. They
(06:56):
would see things move, a lot of gas reports, shadowy figures,
footsteps in the middle night, and stuff like that, and
apparitions they actually have seen him. And then if you
go down below in the basement, workers who used to
work there while they were building the hotel essentially had
(07:18):
their tools moved around and stacked against the wall. And
then they've also heard basically they've heard like voices coming
from the other room. And then when the speakeasy is open.
I don't know if it's they just remodeled the hotel unfortunately,
maybe for the for a good thing. It's probably a
(07:39):
good thing that they did it. I heard it was
in disrepair, but anyways, they fixed up the hotel. It's
supposed to beautiful inside now, so it's definitely worth going
out and checking out if you like the paranormal, but
stay at the Little HSA Hotel here. Brian is beautiful.
At downtown Brian air is also very haunted. We'll get
it in a second. Anyways, so they hear voices coming
(08:01):
from the other room, things move inside the speakeasy. I've
actually talked to the owner of the Speak Easy and
he had a lot of stories to tell. So if
you ever get a chance to go down there, if
you're over twenty one and you get a chance to
go down there, go check out the basement and if
you're able to get into the speakeasy, go talk with
the owners and see what they have to say. Also,
(08:22):
there's supposedly a woman who was in the bathroom. One
of the owners was closing up one night and was
just checking downstairs in the basement to make sure that
nobody got left behind. He was checking the restrooms, saw
a woman go into the bathroom stall and she closed
the door. And then when he went to knock on
the door to check on her and asked her to leave,
(08:42):
he finally opened. He said, she came running out and
went past him and went to the back door and disappeared.
She never actually opened the door, she just disappeared at
the back door. So that's pretty cool. Cool ghost story there,
all right, So let's continue on with historical downtown Brian. Now,
I used to be able to do the ghost tours
(09:02):
down there. There's a lot of old reports of apparitions
and stuff like that. So there was an old deputy
that actually, unfortunately was stabbed death right in front of
Murphy Murphy's Law down there, and he was on duty
one night. And they used to carry a billy club,
(09:25):
not a I don't know if they carry gun. This
is back in the forties, I think, so they weren't.
I don't know if they were carrying pistols or not.
But they used to enforce the law with the old
billy club, right, just a short not like the big
bitons you see him carrying today, but a billy club.
So this gentleman I'm not going to tell his name,
comes walking out of a bar and he's been known
to cause problems and he's drunk and whatever else. And
(09:47):
he essentially came walking out and decided that he was
going to cause a problem. And so the deputy went
over there and and told him to you know, keep
it down and basically keep you know, keep the peace
and whatever else. And he smacks the months off the
(10:08):
hoptas side of the head with the little bully club
and that really pissed this gentleman off. And unbeknownst to
the deputy, he had a knife in his pocket, pulled
out the knife and stabbed him. And unfortunately the officer
didn't actually die on the concrete there. He actually ended
up dying back in the at a residence in Townstown, Brian.
(10:32):
But he is said to haunt that area, the old
theater down there. Uh, the one. Uh. I'm not going
to mention names because I don't want to get in
trouble with downtown. I do live there around here. I
don't want to get into too much trouble. But anyways,
the old theater, you'll notice it basically doesn't have a
roof or anything like that, but it still used as
a theater. It's it's been refurbished and stuff like that.
(10:55):
There was a janitor working there one night, and essentially
he was out there and cleaning, and he kept hearing
a voice and this voice kept saying you need to leave,
that you got to go, and the story goes I've
heard many different renditions. I've read many renditions also online.
(11:17):
Story goes that he was in there for about an
hour cleaning and whatever this was just would not leave
him alone. He felt uncomfortable and finally got to the
point where he just left, and the story goes that.
There's one story that says a few minutes after he left,
the building actually collapsed. The roof caved in from the building.
And there's another rendition that goes it was a two
(11:39):
or three hours later that it actually caved in. So
whatever version you like is great. So yeah, I don't
know which one it was, but it's crazy that a
ghost actually helped him and told him, hey, you need
to go. You shouldn't be in here. This is you know,
this is about to collapse. You need to go. Got
him out to safety and before everything collapsed in and
(12:01):
so nobody actually has perished if you followed my investigations
over the years. We've been doing this so long, We've
been through so many theaters. Theaters tend to hold a
lot of paranormal activity. There's just so much energy and
all this other stuff that goes into theaters. I mean,
almost every theater I've ever been called to, we've actually
(12:22):
been a will prove not that it's haunted, but that
there was paranormal activity going on at the location, and
that you know, there were entities there that were still
enjoying the theaters. Unfortunately, a lot of the time it
was through suicides. The theater crossed the way from the
theater I was just talking about. Again, I will not
(12:43):
mention any names or anything like that or locations. Was
used as a morgue at some point and during the
forties and fifties basically, And I'm not going to get
into the story too much because I don't want to
get my self in trouble. I know, the store society
doesn't really like it when you talk negatively about that.
(13:06):
And I'm not trying to put this in any positive
I mean any negative way. So anyways, there are people
that haunt the theater across the way too. All of
downtown Brian seems to have different entities. What people don't
realize this area, the Browsers Valley and surrounding areas too.
There was a lot of stuff that happened here. So
(13:28):
Number one, you had when the settlers first came in.
There was German settlers, there's Polish settlers, there was Spanish settlers,
there was Mexican settlers, people from all over the world.
This place is kind of like a melting point for settlers, right,
So when they came here, the natives that actually lived
(13:50):
here were not too fond of them, let's just put
it that way. And they didn't get along. And I'm
trying to keep this PG guys, so bear with me.
I'm you can figure out what I'm saying if you're older,
and but we do have a young audience, to just
bear with me. Anyways, they fought a lot, right, There
was a lot of a lot of fighting that happened
(14:10):
between the two you know, civilizations and stuff like that,
and so a lot of bad things happened out here,
and then also downtown Brian, mainly with saloons. Believe it
or not, it's not a small town. It's a pretty
good sized town. And basically it became a town in
nineteen oh four. And the historical buildings, a lot of
(14:33):
historical buildings are still here. And we'll talk about Boonville
in just a minute, but originally the town was actually
named Boonville, not Brian. And what it was was the settlement,
and I think what there was about eighteen hundred settlers
originally here. And then William J. Bryan brought his family
in and other people followed him in and they started
(14:58):
building a bigger town. And little by little they started
to sell cotton and corn, and that became a staple
here and it still is today. And so what happened
was as they developed farms and created plantations and all
this stuff, they pushed the Indians out, the Native Americans out,
(15:20):
and eventually then the settlers won. Unfortunately, they couldn't just
kind of, you know, whatever you want to call it.
I don't want to be disrespectful to either group anyway.
So once that settlement got big enough, everything kind of
calmed down, if you will, and then the railroad came
(15:42):
through in nineteen oh four. When that happened, the whole
town of Brian basically boomed, right. It went from about
eighteen hundred people it's about sixty thousand in about ten years.
So it just massively grew. Plantations popped up everywhere, you know,
and unfortunately there were people that were not treated very well.
(16:07):
Slaves and stuff were a big thing out here, and
so you have that energy as well from out here.
There's just a lot of things that happened in the
Brows's Valley and of course around all of Texas and
other states too, but especially we're just focusing on the
Browss Valley, so that energy is still here. A lot
of that energy is still here. I mean, we've helped
(16:29):
people that lived over by Boonville that we came across
a family of slaves that lived basically on this land. Unfortunately,
they perished in a fire where an old hotel was.
And I've talked about this slave owner before. She was
not a nice lady. But anyways, their structure, the hotel,
(16:49):
all these people perished in the fire and actually was
able to do research and find out that the fire
was actually a real thing that really happened, so they
were basically living, you know, working on a plantation and
stuff like that. So anyways, this whole area, I just
want to give you guys kind of a rundown of
why this area is so haunted. It seems like downtown
(17:12):
Bryan is like the mecca, and we live, like I said,
we lived lessened mile away. I mean, if you drove
straight line from where we live to downtown Bryan, we
basically would be in We're in Brian, but I mean
we would basically be on the west side of Bryan
of the town. So there was probably old settlements out
here and stuff like that. It's just very overgrown with
(17:34):
forests and stuff, and they've been developing it a lot lately.
So yeah, there's been a lot of bad things that
have happened in the Browser Valley, a lot of tragic events.
The Harvey massacre where the Harvey family was slaughtered just
outside of town by Indians, And I've talked about this before,
(17:55):
so you guys can go back and listen about that before.
So anyways, like I said, there's a lot of old
saloons and stories downtown Brian, used to have basements, if
you ever watched the old videos or old shows, and
sometimes they still show them today, like in New York
where you see them bringing the meat down into the
(18:16):
basement in New York. Well, downtown Brian used to be
that way too. A lot of people don't realize that
there used to be another level underneath where the street
is now, and there are actual basements and stuff under there.
And what a lot of people don't know is this
area runs on wells. We drink well water. We don't
(18:37):
have like water pumped in from somewhere else. We have
wells all over the place out here. And so underneath
the basements of a lot of the stores, a lot
of them are closed off now. But this little girl
named Wendy, and I'm not gonna say where the story is,
but the basements were dark right Basically, there was just
a big open hole where they would draw take a
(19:00):
bucket with a rope attached, and they drop it down
in there and they pull up their water. And that's
where they got their water, right for the businesses and
whatever else in the homes. She unfortunately somehow, I mean
imagine being down there with a candle and it's really
hard to see. I mean, if you've ever gone in
with a really dull flashlight to a really pitch black area,
(19:20):
you can't see much more than what the surrounding light is, right,
So she unfortunately fell into that well drowned. She's one
of the ghosts that haunts downtown Brian. And I don't
know if I ever told the story, but I used
to talk to Indy all the time. She used to
come through our ghost box and on the spirit box,
and we would make contact with her and we would
(19:43):
try and communicate with her and get the other spirits
to communicate with her as well. They don't really like
her that much in downtown Brian. So she always told
me she wanted to come home with me. And if
you're a paranormal investigator, you know that when you tell
a spirit it can come home with you. You just it's
not a good idea to ever allow a spirit to
come home with you. It doesn't matter how long you've
(20:05):
been communicating with that spirit. And even if you're one
hundred percent sure that that spirit is a spirit, right,
not something else, it's still very you gotta be very
cautious about allowing something to come home with you. Because
you could open up a can of worms that you
don't want. So anyways, when Doy we communicate with us,
(20:25):
and you know, she would follow us around downtown and
at least talk to her all the time. And she
was a great little girl. She would I was coming
home when I had caught in my car and I
had just cleared myself. And if you've never heard me
say this, and you're done with an investigation, right, even
if you just go somewhere that's supposedly haunted, maybe spend
the night in haunt an hotel. When you get in
(20:47):
your car, you get your first stop light, first stop sign, whatever,
first stop. You always want to clear yourself. If there's
anything with me, you can't go home with me, and
you need to go back to where you came from.
And then when you get to halfway home, same thing.
When you get home, you just want to clear yourself again.
You don't ever say an anger. You just want to say,
very strictly, if there's anything with me, you can't go
(21:10):
home with me. Right. So I was doing that and
then on my satellite radio, this little Girl's what comes
through and it says go home, and I'm like, no,
Inde you're not going with me. I upset her, unfortunately,
and after that I didn't really have much communication with her,
but I've heard that she does get communicated with a lot.
(21:31):
There's a lot of little spirits, kid's spirits in downtown
Brian that communicate with people. They're very playful and very
fun to communicate with. But there's a lot of paranormal
We came across what forty or fifty spirits in downtown Brian.
There's an old priest. If you're walking down Main Street
at the road next to it, there's a plaque on
(21:53):
the wall across from a Wili Saw hotel and there's
a priest name there, and he does communicate with us.
He's very strong, he's very protective of that area, and
he's a really cool spirit. Got to forget his name. Anyways,
I'll be talking about I could talk about Brian all
(22:13):
night long, So let's talk about Boomville. So I've actually
not really been to Boomville. We've driven by it, and
unfortunately we were planning on going there right before COVID happened,
and ever since the gates have been locked. You can't
get in there. I don't know what exactly is going
on with that. If you guys are local and you
(22:34):
know you're able to maybe help us get into Boomville,
we would love the opportunity. If you've ever been to Boomville,
Texas and you've been able to get in there and investigate.
I know I've talked to a couple of people that
had the opportunity and they had a lot of activity.
It's said to be extremely haunted by the people that
used to be there. There's an old cemetery that actually
(22:56):
is supposed to be extremely haunted too. Are seen walking
through foundation of the ruins of the old buildings out there.
Misty forms are seen by the old cemetery. Whispering is
heard along the trails, and I imagine that they're inside
those buildings. They still have old buildings that they've restored.
(23:17):
It looked like old cabins. They imagine they're very haunted too. Basically,
the folklore is from frontier deaths, pidemics, and violence left
his spiritual mark. Again, that isn't even older than downtown Bryan,
and that goes back in probably until eighteen forty ish time.
(23:39):
Let me look and see if I can find a
little bit more information about that. So it's established in
eighteen forty one by and it was named for Mordecai Boone.
He was a Texas ranger. So I'm not gonna read
this to you guys. The courthouse a significant local gathering spot.
(24:03):
So that's basically what kept the town alive was the
fact that there was actually a gathering spot like that.
The courthouse I hear from when I understand General Sam Houston,
but frequent there. And then in eighteen sixty six, basically
(24:23):
the railroad came into Brian. I thought it was nineteen
oh three, but essentially in eighteen sixty six they started
building the rail road towards Brian, and basically that's what
basically stopped Boomville from essentially staying, you know, a prominent town.
They moved it towards this way, and they used to
(24:45):
move a lot of cotton and corn through the city
of Brian, and that's basically what caused Boonville to die.
But again, if you guys know more about Boomville police,
feel free to comment down below, like if you've been
there and calm it down below, I'd love to hear
about it. All right, So the Braws's River bottoms this
(25:07):
is Bigfoot in dog Man's sightings. I've heard a lot,
a lot, a lot a lot about this lately. And
we'll get into Lake Brian here in a minute. But
I've heard over by my work over by my work,
the Brass River actually runs right by it. And then
of course the Bross River runs about two or three
(25:30):
miles from my house. And there's also a lot of
little creeks and little they call them rivers, but there's
a lot of little creeks that basically run through Texas.
I mean, there's so many waterways out here, it's not
even funny because it's usually Texas gets a lot of rain.
So essentially those little waterways spill into the Brass River.
(25:52):
So it isn't it is possible for whatever like bigfoots
or dog Man to walk up those creeks. I know
there's a lot of deer, there's a lot of wildlife
out here. I mean this is basically literally this area
is forested. Let Browse's Valley is very forested. We're on
the if you're looking at Texas, if you split Texas
(26:13):
in half and you go to the right, if you're
looking straight at Texas on a map, we're part of
it pretty much. We're not East Texas, but we're middle
to East Texas. And as you go further east towards
the Louisiana border, the more woodsy it gets. So yeah,
I mean, it's just it's it's crazy how many, how
many forests are here, and this is a very wet
(26:34):
and rainy area. So anyways, all right, so both hunters
and fishermen have claimed to see large bipedal creatures crossing
the river. There's loud, deep howls at night, wolfhead creatures
seen near the tree lines, rocks thrown at fishermen, sudden
silence followed by heavy footsteps. So this all that all
(26:58):
sounds like bigfoot, like you know things to me. You
get rocks thrown hows. Lately, there has been a lot
of people reporting in Brian College Station gunshots, but they're
coming from the forested areas. Now, remember I told you
I think there's something the whole podcast about the thing
(27:20):
in my backyard. We've been hearing the same lighting bang sounds.
They don't sometimes they sound like a gun, sometimes they don't.
Usually it's a single bang and it's coming from the
forest to areas and I'm looking at him, going what
the hell and I have. I've been collecting data, guys.
I've been collecting data, and I'm not going to show
you guys on here because I want to show you
(27:42):
when we do the actual investigation. Man, I've been scouting
this area. I got stopped by I think I talked
about this on a podcat or so. Recently. I got
stopped by guy over at a gas station on my
way to work, real close to the Braws River. He
has a farm out there, and he's says that, you know,
bigfoots are stealing stuff from his garden. I have the
(28:04):
same thing. My pear tree has to be it's going
to be pushing thirty feet now, twenty five thirty feet tall.
It's huge. It's gotten so big and lost three or
four years. It's just taken off anyways. Some of those
pairs are fifteen feet up, fifteen to twenty feet up
in that tree. I mean, I had to get a
ladder two years ago to get up there. And if
(28:27):
I have a twelve foot ladder and I could, I
was up at almost the very top rung. I could
barely reach those. So you know, I'm six feet so
on a twelve foot ladder. Probably about about fourteen feet up.
Something's are reaching up and grabbing this pears that I
don't know what that noise was anyways, that's crazy to me.
(28:51):
And he's saying that they're stealing corn, and there's corn.
There's corn fields all around us. We have farmers all
around us, specifically on the way to work. A lot
of deer out here, and so I don't know if
the thing behind my house is a dog man. I'm
hoping it's not. I've heard a lot of reports over
at Lake Bryan about dog man. People are reporting dog
(29:13):
man over there. Again, that's just like I don't know,
three or four miles from my house. There's a lot
of hogs over there, a big population of hogs. Unfortunately,
So and all this stuff is I'm starting to go, okay,
wait a minute, it's like we're in and then of
course UFOs. There's a lot of UFOs reported in this area.
(29:33):
I've seen a lot of strange things in this area
driving home and stuff like that. And a lot of
people actually have been at my work, and even the
crews because I work for I work with the railroad.
A lot of the crews are now coming in reporting
stuff to me. As well, and I don't want to
get into that too much, but they're seeing strange lights
in the sky, they're seeing possible bigfoots stuff like that
(29:55):
coming through these areas. So it's very, very possible that
dog Man and Bigfoot are in this area. They've been reported.
You know, they talked about the Texas Triangle. We're not
quite in the Texas Triangle, but I wouldn't I would
imagine that they're down this area too, because we're very woodsy,
h and as you get further to the east of Texas,
(30:18):
they're spotted more over there. So all right, so let's
talk about this. So this is this Transition golf area.
This is not very far from my house either. Shadow
figures and woods, woods activity. So the report, the local
joggers and hikers are reporting tall, shadowy figures moving through
(30:39):
the forest and trees. Now, when Bigfoot moves through the trees,
I mean, if you've ever seen the tree lines at
night and there's any light at all, let's just say
there's moonlight out, they look like they look like a
shadowy figure a bigfoot does, because there's a lot of
the times they have darker fur and so all you're
seeing is they're silhouette, so it's very possible that they
(31:02):
could possibly and again, I mean a dog man would
look like that too. Like I said, there's a lot
of wooded areas still in Brian and College Station. We're
surrounded by woods and then farms of course too, but
a lot of downtown Brian still has woodsy areas. So
(31:23):
let's see something pacing in the woods. Eye shine at
unusual heights, and I know the eye shine behind my house.
You know, those eyes are size of baseballs. I mean
they're not small. I can see how big they are.
Remember at Joe's that's what taught me the eye shine
because we would see them literally like blink. You can
(31:44):
see them blink their eyes and their eyes are out here.
They're you know, my eyes are what three four inches apart?
These things are eight ten, twelve inches apart, and they're
not low. I've gone and measured the areas that are
at They're at twelve feet or taller. Some of them.
I've gone to stand stood in the area is where
I saw these things during the day, using the camera
(32:06):
to kind of gauge the height. I'm six foot two
and these things are two feet taller than me. I mean,
these things come across behind my fence, are two three
feet above my fence, and the de fence is basically
down at the bottom of a six foot burn, so
that we can basically see right over the burn over
the fence line where we have the overflow area. And
(32:29):
that's why I've been seeing all those things. They come out,
they come to the edge of the woods. They don't
come out of the woods usually, but they do come
to the edge of the woods. So very interesting that
they're seeing that over there. That's, like I said, that's
not very far from my house. And again I've told
you guys, I think that they use creeks and stuff
like that as highways, and there is a creek right
(32:52):
behind my house. I mean literally where I'm seeing this,
and imagine that these people that are hiking again, there's
a lot of creeks, there's a lake over there and
stuff like that. I've not actually been into this area.
I want to get over there. They're doing a lot
of construction, so I don't know what the rules are
for hiking over there after dark. I know there's a
camping area, so I would be very interested to check
(33:14):
this out and we may do an episode, a bigfoot
episode on this where actually go investigate and we'll take
you guys with us. So getting into Lake Brian, the
UFO lights and night creatures again, they're talking more about
bigfoots and dog Man. But I have seen things over there.
(33:36):
I have a friend that actually owns property over by
that area and she has farm. She lives over by
the farmland just outside of where that is, and she's
seen UFOs over there as well. I drive up in
that area to come and go for work, and I've
seen things I can't explain now. I was driving home
one night and not it was towards the Lake Brian area,
(33:59):
but not I saw. I thought it was just a
plane flying in that area right until it stopped and hovered.
I'm like, okay, it must be a some kind of helicopter,
and this is it? What one o'clock in the morning,
And it just stopped if flying straight, came across and
stopped in the middle of sky, I'm like, what the heck?
(34:19):
And then it basically just faded out, just faded out.
So I was like, Okay, that's really strange. I have
no explanation for that. I don't know what that was
at this point I can call the UFO because I
can't put any other name to it at this point.
I don't think any plane would stop and then turn
its lights out. I don't think a helicopter would stop
and turn its lights out. And for my skeptics, I
(34:41):
know you're thinking, Okay, well, maybe it just turned in
a way you could see the lights, but it never reshowed.
It never showed back up. I watched it for an hour.
It just never showed back up. So the reports over
at Lake Brian are triangle shaped lights moving silently. I've
seen this. I've seen someone like this in the daytime.
I actually went to grab my camera and it was
(35:01):
too far away. It almost looked like a blimp. Whatever
it was was huge orbs dropping into the water. So
you know, if you guys know of usos off the coast,
usually seen in the oceans, something large walking along the
tree line. We actually stayed at Lake Brian. We did
an investigation. We never heard anything that night. We were
(35:24):
only there for one night and we didn't want to
get in trouble for going out walking around in the
woods at night. We will do that sooner or later.
Voices heard across the lake when no one's around, and
then rocks thrown near campsites. Again, that sounds like Bigfoot
or dog Man activity. I don't know if dog Man
really throw rocks at people. They could. All right, so
(35:47):
let's talk about Lick Creek Park, big park spirits, encrectid activity.
Don't hurry up because I got another podcast coming on here, guys. Okay,
so the claims are of a woman crying in the
distance when the is empty, dark shaped crossing, dark shapes
crossing the trail, possible Bigfoot prints found in the rain. Ooh,
that's interesting, trees breaking in the deeper woods. Okay, so
(36:11):
definitely got to go check this place out right, Jagger
stocked my unseen presence. That's really interesting. And then as
always say, if you look. I'm not going to be
sure my pins probably publicly until I probably retire, which
will never probably happen. But on my Bigfoot pins, I've
pinned thousands of locations across all the United States and
(36:33):
start working on the world. But every pin I've got
dropped has UFO sightings, haunted, Bigfoot, and possibly dog Man,
and they're all in the same area. It's very strange, right,
So I didn't you know I wasn't going to share that.
But anyways, it's very strange how all four of those
(36:54):
things and maybe other things too that I haven't heard
about or whatever, all seen in the same locations. That's
very strange to me, so very possible that. You know, again,
this area is very wooded, guys, I know everybody. Oh, well,
bigfoots will live out in the woods. Yeah, No, I
don't think so. I think there are big There are
bigfoot reports from the Brows Valley going back to the
(37:17):
early Indians here, and I don't think. I think as
population centers have kind of boomed and pushed them out
there on the outskirts. They stay on the outskirts, but
they do come into town every once in a while,
or they bay use the river weys in the woods
to migrate through to get to other places. Okay, Old
Texas Worldly Speedway abandoned and haunted. Unfortunately this place is
(37:41):
now gone. It has been bulldozed. It was between College
Station and Avisota, and there was voices heard around the
banded track, shoutout figures in the bleachers, apparitions of people
from the past races, and strange lights over the field.
So mainly haunted, but I would imagine that basically, it's
(38:04):
had a lot of residual activity. It makes me wonder
if the people that you know came to this event
or whatever, I've just left their energy there. I mean again,
it's another place where a lot of energy was poured
in when you're sitting and cheering and you're excited and
all this energy just you exhale all this energy into
(38:26):
a location. People are speeding for their favorite you know
driver and all this other stuff. Just makes me wonder
if all that energy got left, and maybe it's just
kind of rerunning in history. My niece actually lives over
in this place now where the new homes were built
over there, So I'll have to discuss with her if
(38:46):
she's experiencing any paranormal activity, because she is a little
bit sensitive. So maybe she can tell us more if
she's experiencing any activity from this location or not. So
if you guys live over there where those speedway was,
let us know, calm it down below. I'd love to
hear if you're experiencing a paranormal activity. All right, So
(39:06):
the now River Corridor, they're experiencing Bigfoot in dog Man Again,
this is in the south of browsers valley. It's a
huge They're reporting huge bibtal creatures spotted near the river crossings,
grawls and screams not matching local wildlife, fresh tree breaks.
Hunters reporting a wolf standing on its two legs. So
(39:30):
that's a description of what they call dog man. And
if you don't know what a dog man is, it's
a can be a bipedal. It looks like a were
wolf except for it doesn't have paws, has fingers like humans,
and they usually have sharp fingers, fingernails. They are said
to be basically, they are said to hunt hunt humans supposedly. Again,
(39:55):
that could go into your missing four one one reports.
I think a lot of that's I think a lot
of those reports, you know, are misidentified. But I don't
really think Bigfoot are taking all those people. I think
it's other things happening too. I think people are are
being murdered up there, and other things are happening besides
bigfoot just taking everybody anyways. So basically it connects to
(40:21):
the sam Houston National Forest, which is a major bigfoot
and dog man region. Okay, so we've talked about We've
talked about, you know, the sam Houston National force many times.
We will be doing another investigation there, hopefully shortly, depending
on the weather. I'm thinking probably next year we're gonna
(40:43):
start filming again. I'm in the process of scouting locations,
which takes a dang a lot of time. Unfortunately, especially
the area behind my house. You don't just go I
mean a lot of people just go out to the
forest and start doing screams and howls and tree knocks
and expected, you know, experience something. That's not how bigfooting works.
(41:05):
When you go bigfooting, you have to look for the reports.
You have to find reports of old sightings, old places
where people were hearing tree knocks or people reporting screams
and howls. You have to look into it. You have
to do your research, and then you have to go
into these areas and see if there's any new activity.
(41:29):
You have to go out there and camp yourself. You
have to go out there at night and just sit
and listen and try and experience it for yourself. It
just takes a lot of time. You have to do
your homework before you just go into these locations and
start doing a full blood and bull bore investigation. Otherwise
you're going to be disappointed. Probably meet with witnesses see
(41:49):
if you can find any witnesses around the area. You
have to do a lot of research before you just
go in there. If you're lucky enough, maybe you meet
somebody that lives in the area, or and basically there
you're in to find more people. Maybe the neighbors had
an experience. Maybe there's a local pub that they can
take you to and introduce you around and just, you know,
(42:12):
slowly but surely, get people to kind of tell you
about their experiences. Maybe they live in the area, maybe
they've had an experience, maybe they've seen something, and so
on and so forth. And as you drop and as
you start to find locations around where they've had activity,
you can find like a it'll start to see a pattern.
You start to see a pattern. Okay, this house had activity,
(42:34):
this house had activity that one didn't put the house
down the road did. And as you start dropping these
pins on a map, you start to see a pattern. Okay,
so there's a lot of activity in kind of a
line or in this area, and then you get a
like a hub of that activity, and then you can
start investigating that area. Maybe you go camp there that night,
maybe you go just sit there. Maybe you do some
(42:56):
tree knots, maybe you leave cameras up and stuff like that.
So all right, guys, this is our last one. It's
Old Hearn Road and it says Brian to Wickson Valley,
and this says ghostly hitchhikers and lights. Now, I did
my research into this. The urban legends suggest and the
(43:16):
claims in the folklore are that a woman in white
is seen walking the roadsides. Again, this is another phantom hitchhiker.
It basically disappears when cars approach, bright lights move moving
ahead of drivers, shadowy figures darting across the road. Now
(43:36):
I've done my research into this. Now this could be right,
but essentially I think this basically is just something that
kind of got made up. So I don't mean to
devalue this. I mean you've if you've driven on Old
Hearn Road Brian to Wickson Valley and you've seen the hitchhiker,
or you've seen a shadow, or you've seen these lights,
(43:59):
please feel free to comment down below. I'm not I'm
not saying that this isn't real, but everything I've read
about it says that it's actually not this road, it's
it's other roads around it. Other areas like the Saratoga
Ghost Lights, which is another place I want to go
back because number one haunted, Number two bigfoots, and number
three UFOs. So yeah, I mean I've the reports I've
(44:25):
heard is that basically the people have picked up a
hitchhiking ghost. Usually it's a younger male or or you know,
just they pick up a female and she hops in
with them and they start driving down the road and
she tells them more she wants to get out, and
a lot of these reports go back to the sixties
(44:47):
and seventies and so basically, and sometimes they lend her
she's cold, so they lend her jacket or something to
keep warm. Than Jack Guy's being a gentleman. And when
they go to drop the female off number one, she's
not there. Or number two, if they've found they've offered
(45:08):
her a coat or something, they'll find it at the
cemetery and they'll find it at the at the lady's grave.
So that's pretty interesting. This seems like it's a very
haunted location. It's more mysterious in Live with folklore than
people really realize. Ghosts, cryptid UFOs, and frontier spirits. They
(45:30):
all seem to be part of the story. And the
more I look, the more the land's actually starting to talk.
All right, guys, I'm Matt with Deep WIT's Paranormal, and
we're making the paranormal normal. And we'll catch you guys
on the next one.
