Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd, rambling ideas.

Cristina: Childish ways.

Jack: We don't. In very adult ways.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Also, we need to keep in mind that by, like, the end of the year, I got. We gotta make, like, social posts and you know what? Just, you guys, whenever you want to start sending us some questions, you could do that, too. So that by Valentine's, we can just go old school and answer your pressing life issues.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: You know, so that we can help you solve your relationship problems on Valentine's Day or around Valentine's Day, since we upload on every Saturday. I don't know if Valentine's Day is on a Saturday. So near Valen. Whatever. Saturday's nearest Valentine's Day. Or I guess it'll be before Valentine's Day. So they can listen to it on Valentine's Day.

Cristina: We don't make any promises, though. It could be after anyway.

Jack: Yeah. And it might never even happen.

Cristina: Or it may never happen.

Jack: But hopefully it does happen. And hopefully it happens before Valentine's Day. So you hear it on Valentine's Day. Because that's only when reasonable.

Cristina: That's a promise.

Jack: Not really a promise that we might not keep. Because we're not necessarily honest.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: Or we are honest. We're just not committed. That's all.

Cristina: Right.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where it is. We mean well, but we're also like, whatever.

Cristina: Give us those problems.

Jack: Yeah. If you give us enough, it'll be inevitable. We can't, like, avoid it or anything, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But we have something interesting to discuss today and to ground today the way we do. We were recently, in a recent episode with an H episode, talking about weird spots. Specifically, we were discussing the neighborhood of paradise. And then we were talking about the Minotaur, which really just brought us back to thinking about the neighborhood. Because we had these people coming in and out of the town. And when people go to the town, they don't see anybody. And then we were like, well, there's just mazes that are familiar. And the mazes tells us that things have happened in these areas. And if things have happened in these areas, maybe the town is something like that. Because people come in and out of the town. And there is a church in the center of the town.

Cristina: Yes. And it's like that house that's very ma.

Jack: Like the Winchester house. Yes.

Cristina: That random crap is happening. Are things going out of that middle room? Probably.

Jack: Exactly. So that church might also have something similar, because the maze had something like that. And also the Winchester house had something like that. And we were like, well, Paradise Road must have something like that, too. And we were like, maybe we should find places like this, See if that's a thing. Find weird places that have this kind of same pattern.

Cristina: Is it a bunch of woods?

Jack: What?

Cristina: Like, is it like. If you did find the other places, are they like woods? Like this place that's in the middle of nowhere?

Jack: If I did find them, I guess.

Cristina: It would be because that house, though, is not in the middle of nowhere, is it?

Jack: It was.

Cristina: It was.

Jack: It was. It was in the middle of nowhere, really. That was also part of the reason it was so hard to get in. And, you know, architects and people down to contractors to go make happen.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It was in the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: Okay, that's weird.

Jack: But all right, what's weird? What's different about that house? And what's different about the. I guess that house in the Maze, as opposed to paradise, is that in paradise, we have people coming in and out. Residents, we would call them. But neither the maze nor the house would have that atmosphere. There are rooms. I guess a house would have that atmosphere, wouldn't it? Because people did see many apparitions, ghosts and whatever happening there. Things. Weird things roaming the halls from inside and outside. People noticed all of it but the maze. I guess there's no real way to get a story out of there. I guess that's really why we don't have those stories. I was thinking, like, oh, yeah, they don't have those stories about people coming in and out and this playing out.

Cristina: The same way, but they're dead.

Jack: Not because they're dead, but, like, who. So are the people who are dead in the Winchester house?

Cristina: People aren't dying in the Winchester house.

Jack: The maker of the house still roams the house. That is a literal dead human.

Cristina: I guess. People aren't constantly dying in the house.

Jack: The whole family. The whole family died in the house.

Cristina: I guess the people today aren't dying in the house, are they?

Jack: Right. And then why don't we have those stories about the maze? I don't know.

Cristina: Who's it. Who's exploring the maze? Is that some place that people can go to right now?

Jack: I actually have an idea where the maze is. Fair enough. The maze is quite hidden.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, that's not a tourist attraction, is it?

Jack: No, it's a secret location.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Much like the basement of the. Or not the basement, but, you know, the facilities at the bottom of Cross Castle. But. So we're talking about Paradise Road, and we're talking about the maze that reminds us about the mansion. And we're like, yes, the paradise definitely has a church. And there's a pattern here, and there's familiarity. And then we. I don't know what we were. Oh, it somehow made us think, oh, no. We were doing the previous episode last week where we were just thinking about, you know, loosey goosey talking, and we came across the Judge again. The Judge and Inanna, his sister. That wasn't the same episode, not with the maze.

Cristina: I thought it was because we were just recapping everything.

Jack: No, there was an episode about the maze.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And there was an episode about Winchester House. And then there was an episode just kind of trying to see what we missed.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so we come across the Judge and how him and Inanna just casually strolled into the shadow Realm, which doesn't make sense. But we never thought about. But then we thought about it, and, like, we have an experiment that took place which was with Lucifer and Samael that allowed Lucifer to become a physical being, which means he can exist on both sides and easily cross a gate without ever needing adrenochrome. And we have the Judge crossing with.

Cristina: His sister, and we have all these tales talking about swapping babies, and we.

Jack: Have baby swapping tales. So the idea was, can we find more? Can we prove this is, in fact, what was happening with other examples after we have this established? And I think we can. So we're going to discuss a couple of different places today, and I'm gonna give you their names real quick, and we're gonna focus on one. Okay, I'll explain later. Why. So we're gonna discuss Jibaro villages in Puerto Rico. We're gonna. The quiet towns in Russia. We're gonna discuss La Isla de las Municas, the Island of Dolls, and Los Pueblos Perdidos, the Lost towns of Mexico.

Cristina: Where's the doll at?

Jack: We're also gonna discuss Brigadoon, which is in Scotland, and we're gonna discuss the villages of Lost children in Japan.

Cristina: But where's the Lost Doll Island?

Jack: Both of those are in Mexico.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: La Isla de las Muniecas and Los Pueblos Perdidos are both in Mexico. Right. Anyhow, so we're gonna start this by going into Jibaro villages and El Chino in Puerto Rico.

Cristina: Those are two different spots.

Jack: No, I Will explain what this is. That's just the title. Okay, I will get to the point. All right, so let's break apart these villages real quick. Right. So the Hibaro villages refers to mountainous and forested areas in Puerto Rico described as hidden villages, often in dense, remote, forested regions. Which kind of fits the suit we are looking for. When we dive into this, we find out that the locals believe these areas are always known for having lots of supernatural activities. They always discuss them as heavy supernatural activities, strange occurrences and weird things and ghosts and demons and spirits and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Kind of what we're looking for.

Cristina: Yes. It's always in the woods.

Jack: Always in the woods. At least these are. I wouldn't say it's always in the woods, but these are definitely in the woods. Now, what makes this particularly impressive is the fact that they are described as empty and abundant. Abandoned to visitors. To visitors. Familiar. Keep in mind that the locals also say that there's a lot of activity happening here, but there's nothing when visitors go. The locals to these areas also claim the villages are populated by spirits.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And supernatural entities. Add the Hibaro, the souls of the dead also being the original inhabitants of the region from long ago.

Cristina: They say if these souls are like human souls or like.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're just the inhabitants of the lands from long ago. Those are the Hibaro.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Everything else are spirits and supernatural entities. But the Hibaro are just the inhabitants from a long time ago. Unclear about how long ago. There's a lot of stories dictating a lot of different periods of time. So maybe different groups of people throughout different periods of time lived within the area.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But ultimately just the souls of the dead, presumably the original inhabitants from long ago. Now, the weirdest detail about this thing, by the way. This isn't one place. These are many villages in the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: That's weird. But they're near each other or. No. Okay.

Jack: Nope, nope, nope.

Cristina: They're just random.

Jack: Yeah. They're spread out. And they have essentially the same tales going on. And when people go, they see nothing. Visitors go up there and record nothing. Nothingness. Just structures. And they don't know who built them. The interesting tale about this is that the locals always believe that they were the neighborhoods. The villages were built by beings from the spirit world. They use those literal words in Spanish.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: And we know the spirit world in every language translates to the shadow realm, but did you.

Cristina: Have you seen pictures of it? Like, does it look like it's just villages it's just. It looks normal.

Jack: Yeah. It's just old houses.

Cristina: Okay. I wonder why they think that then. That's weird. That's cool, though. But.

Jack: Yeah. So this is just the basics of the village. Let's. Let's focus on the locals a little. The locals surrounding these areas. So locals believe these villages exist in a place where the veil to the spirit world is thin.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: How specific? The villages are often described as parallel to the mortal world. Very specific phrasing.

Cristina: Yes. Sounds like the shadow realm.

Jack: So exact. It's crazy how exact the wording to this is. And they're described as spiritual reflections of the mortal world.

Cristina: What does that mean? What?

Jack: What do you mean, what does that mean? That's the most exact phrasing I've ever heard.

Cristina: Spiritual reflections. Reflections. That's what you said.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: All right. I'll word this in a way we said a million times. The shadow realm is a mirror to the earth realm.

Cristina: I know, but, like, this isn't the shadow realm. This is. They're talking about something on the earth realm.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: As a reflection of the earth around.

Jack: No, no, no. They're saying that when the veil is thin, presumably.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: This is built somewhere else. We see one version, but it is built somewhere else.

Cristina: Oh, that's complicated.

Jack: Actually, no, it's not. Because if you think about the opposite way that this works, the Winchester house fits this f****** suit.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This lady built a jumbled mess that looks like a crazy, chaotic s*** show to us, and she just wanders it easily. It makes sense. Over there.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Very on point. Very poignant. Another weird detail is they believe the residents aren't physical in the same way that humans are. Inhabitants to these villages can be seen wandering the lands surrounding them, though.

Cristina: So they can see these beings?

Jack: They see something. Yes, but never when they're in town.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: How familiar.

Cristina: Yes. That is exactly like Paradise Road.

Jack: That is exactly like Paradise Road to the T. Exactly the same thing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know, cultural differences, linguistically speaking. But you're describing ultimately the same thing, it seems. But the villages, on the other hand, always appear empty.

Cristina: Yes. So they. They don't see anyone. Like, there's no stories of people in robes or any.

Jack: I did not find any stories of people in robes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, these villages are called Hibaro villages. All these villages are called Hibaro villages regardless of where they are. And it's focused on the fact that the dead live there, even if there are other spirits and other supernatural entities. But then what is El Chino?

Cristina: What is that?

Jack: Well, I'm obviously going to tell you now. The chino translates to pathway.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yes. Most of the village's entrances begin with either a tunnel cutting through a mountain or a dense natural canopy path. A canopy is when trees kind of overlay and create like a nice tunnel just through the tree foliage or whatever. All of these neighborhoods have that happening. Every single one, without exception. And they refer to the path that leads there, usually through a mountain or through a canopy, as El Chino. These pathways are believed to be gates to the spirit world.

Cristina: The pathway itself.

Jack: Yes, but can't be crossed by humans.

Cristina: This actually informs what's happening in paradise with the gps?

Jack: Not the gps, with the unmarked road, the dirt road that just cuts from paradise to the paradise neighborhood.

Cristina: Yeah, but like the Google, not trying, not being able to see either.

Jack: They just literally didn't go through there themselves. And we know that the people there had some kind of contract with the government or some s***. I guess that's why they didn't navigate that path. But the path itself, and people going through the path, like myself and never seeing anybody on the other side. Well, I can't cross the gate.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I can drive the path. I can cross the path. I can't cross the gate that the path is. I was going through a canopy. I did not know this, or not a canopy per se, but, you know, some kind of tunnel way.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That would have exited me on the other side if I had the ability to cross.

Cristina: If you were of the type. Yeah. Okay.

Jack: But I wasn't. So I go in and it's nothing to me. El Chino is the name of these pathways, these gates that they believe allow only those who have the ability to cross through. And it's only people who are from the other side who can come in and out.

Cristina: That's crazy. They just know about these places and they're just everywhere. Not everywhere, but there's. There's multiple.

Jack: Yes, they're spread out throughout Puerto Rico. They're in many, many, many locations of Puerto Rico. And they are well known by the older folk.

Cristina: Because that's what I pictured as a very small area. But it's not that small if there's multiple.

Jack: It would take you a while to walk Puerto Rico, even if it's a tiny location. Also it's secluded. Nature allows for this to exist effortlessly. A lot of forest.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: Dense rainforest. So it's, you know, easy place to put a bunch of these locations. And it's hard for people to get to. And then there's that weird archway. And people are like, oh, that place. Now, let's dive into some of this folklore.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now, tales surrounding the Hibaro village involve souls of lost humans. And interesting enough, interesting enough. The kidnapping of the offspring of the lost soul's descendants.

Cristina: What? They're saying they're.

Jack: They're kidnapping this. The babies that are in their own bloodline.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The goal is to take the child and possess the body of these children.

Cristina: No way. No way.

Jack: This would allow the soul of the individual to inhabit the child and have another life.

Cristina: Of course. Of course. Of course. That's exactly what we imagined. Okay. But they're related.

Jack: Well, no, we're not imagining in any other scenario that they're possessing the body.

Cristina: They're not possessing the body. No.

Jack: But, yeah, it would be weird if a grown a** adult then jumps into a child's body and is now reborn or whatever, which is what? This is making it seem like it's happening. So obviously we have to read between lines. We know this isn't literally what's going on because we have other examples fast. And it's also possible that the very people taking it are not getting replicas made of a baby. That doesn't make sense.

Cristina: No.

Jack: That's why they still see the souls of the dead there, because they haven't actually possessed these bodies. These narratives are conflicting. But they are taking children.

Cristina: They are taking children? Yes.

Jack: The child is then returned to the family, now with the soul of their ancestor. Allegedly.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Mm. Now, alternatively, the supernatural entities within the area are also known to take children. Not the souls, not the dead. They do too. But so do the supernatural entities.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: These individuals abduct infants and swap them with supernatural beings, most commonly for the purpose of sustaining a connection between the spirit world and the human world.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. The abducted human babies are then taken to the Jabbato village and raised among the people of the village. Yeah. Now, this ritual allows there to be mortals from the village familiar with the spirit world, and spirits within human villages familiar with the mortal world. So, Jin, take a human baby, bring it to this established location, probably after they do the obvious changing of the baby that existed before. So they do the experiment. They're not the experiment now. It's just a procedure. So they do the procedure that turns the Djinn baby into a perfect replica of the human baby and replace the Jinn baby where the human baby was taken from, then most likely give a bunch of adrenochrome to the baby and kill it, so that then the baby crosses and they can raise it on both sides. So the human baby gets killed, but now exists in the village. And then the jinn baby gets put where the human baby was, looking identical and can cross gates easily. This allows for there to be a human baby in the spirit village of the Hibaros and a jinn baby to be raised in the human villages. So there is interaction, thus sustaining connections.

Cristina: Because that's the goal, to keep that.

Jack: To keep that connection going. Yes. Interesting, though. H villages are not often considered dangerous, evil, or bad.

Cristina: Really? After all that?

Jack: After all that, Locals merely describe them as places where spirits reside and are empty and pointless for humans to wander.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There's also a legend about half humans and half supernatural beings created by the spirits with the explicit intention of being able to cross El Chino to engage with both the humans and the spirits for the sake of communication and trade.

Cristina: Huh? It's all about trading. Huh?

Jack: It's always about trading. Yep. And we refer to these individuals as santeras.

Cristina: Wait, what? The people that are trade, the traders.

Jack: The people who are really jinn who've gone through the procedure to be half and half are referred to as santeras. Witches.

Cristina: Witches? Oh, crap. They're like a step below, like necromancers or something.

Jack: Yep. They just have the ability to cross effortlessly from one side to the other. Wizards and witches.

Cristina: Cheating way.

Jack: Yeah.

Jack: Because they're raised believing they're human and they just have this ability and they go through a procedure to be essentially indistinguishable from human, biologically speaking.

Cristina: Yeah, like they wouldn't even know.

Jack: They wouldn't even know unless they go to the other side and find out which they can.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: And the same would go for the human baby that gets abducted and killed on this side and then raised on that side. Just raised believing they are a jinn. Yeah, maybe an odd looking one of that. But they are just Jin. They were born here. They were raised here. They know people die in cross. But wait, why am I over here? Oh, I was born here. My family's from over here. But they can also just cross.

Cristina: Are they also witches?

Jack: Well, they have whatever. I guess not. I guess not. Really. The witches are the Djinn, the actual born Djinn. But as somebody who is. Who has consumed adrenochrome, been killed, shown up on the other, you still have a plethora of abilities. So you are probably the supernatural beings are probably that. The humans have been taken to the other side and have abilities that jinn naturally don't.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, under this logic, this explains a Lot of things. If we consider different cultures we've read about and different non jinn individuals with very human characteristics, but a lot of different powers that come from the shadow realm. Those individuals were probably just human at some point and then just raised over there since they were babies. So we see them as Jin and the stories describe them as Jin, but they don't fit any Jin suit. That's why they're one offs.

Cristina: Oh, we gotta rethink about those stories.

Jack: Yep. Because there are babies being raised as Jin who were just human.

Cristina: We can't tell them apart. We can't tell these human and non human.

Jack: Well, we can, because they are nothing like a gin.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's the thing. They have weird abilities that even Jin feel are strange.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They are non jinn individuals. Just like we have weird people who were like, there's something off about you. Why do you have these abilities? You really believe you're crazy. You think you could talk to ghosts? That's nuts. You think you could see the future. But we know in the Shadow Realm, time works differently.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And if you're tuned in, maybe you can see the future.

Cristina: And also in real life, there's time anomalies happening.

Jack: Yes. And if a person has the ability to not only move through these things, but manipulate them and see them effortlessly, then you're just a weirdo with a lot of weird abilities that are all real. But we could never understand them. Because you're not even human.

Cristina: They're not even human.

Jack: It looks like magic to us, but it's not. It's science. Everything is science. Even the concept of a witch just got grounded.

Cristina: Yes. They're just made to trade. That's so crazy. It just matches everything.

Jack: Yep. To trade and communicate always.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To sustain trade and communication, that is the important thing. Very weird, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, we began with this place, Jibaro villages and El Chino. Because every other place has almost an identical narrative minus a couple deviations. Every single place on Earth, all around the world has stories like this, almost like the Bible, that are all kind of identical to other cultures and religions. They all have villages like this that match all these descriptions almost to the T. Everywhere on Earth, this is happening.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: There have been djinn living amongst people always, as far as we know. Yeah, but we could probably trace it all the way back to Eloi, where the first couple of gates were ever formed. Yes, because the argument would be that Lucifer and Lilith were the first two to cross. Other than Yaldabaoth, he would be literally number One.

Cristina: And how did he even figure it out? Like, how do you make something a new world and then able to enter it? Like, that whole second part is even more complicated than the whole first part of, like.

Jack: Yes, how did he figure out how to enter? That's legitimately a whole situation of its own. How did he figure out how to enter? But I don't know. That is weird, right? That's really complicated. I don't know how the f***. And then the problem is finding anything about that m*********** so hard. But all the following locations on Earth, these have exactly the same folklore, are based in mountains or forest locations, have stories of being empty to visitors, and are said to be inhabited by mostly peaceful supernatural beings or spirits.

Cristina: Do they also have stories about, like, missing children?

Jack: Some. I would have included it there, obviously.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I just said all of these locations have all of the following things.

Cristina: And then you asked about nothing else.

Jack: One I didn't mention. Like, obviously they don't all have that. If I didn't add that there. Now, the villages of lost children. This is in Japan now. These villages are built by unknown individuals. They have no idea who or how because they don't have any of the Ainu people's, you know, methods of building structures. These are completely foreign, weird, alien looking structures.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. They don't fit anything that these people have built. They're definitely villages, but they don't have the same kind of traditions that they had in the construction. They have no idea where they came from. And weirdly enough, it's hard to date them because of the materials not wearing away the same kind of way. A lot of different kinds of clays and not a lot of stones used. So you can't really, geographically, not geographically, geologically zone in on how long ago these were made. Weird. Right now, most of these places are often in ruins. The locals believe these villages were built between the Ainu people, that are the indigenous Japanese, and kami, which are spirits of the spirit world.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And Yokai, which are supernatural beings and entities.

Cristina: Supernatural beings are different from just spirits.

Jack: Yes, because there are the normal creatures you're familiar with from wherever. Now, the. The distinction here is very familiar to the distinction that's happening with the Hebaro villages where they believe that there are supernatural entities, spirits and the souls of the dead.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They made a distinction here. There are three different kinds of things happening, and we know that there are three realms. But this isn't granting passage to three places. It's only granting passage through two.

Cristina: So it'd Be spirits, shadow realm creatures and supernatural entities?

Jack: No. Well, the supernatural entities would be the shadow realm creatures, or the spirits are one or the other, and then the souls of the dead are the other.

Cristina: That could just be echoes.

Jack: An echo wouldn't assist building something.

Cristina: No. I did think they read descriptions. Weird, right? Yeah.

Jack: Something to think about. There is something standing out there that we are not familiar with something. Or we are, and we just not understanding the context per se. So. Yeah, the locals believe that the Ainu people, the indigenous Japanese, the Kami, which are spirits, and the Yokai, which are supernatural entities, built these villages. And these villages always appear empty. Always. And always have a structure identical to a Shinto gate.

Cristina: Hey, in Puerto Rico, did they have any special thing? Oh, no, I guess that's the archways and whatever the entrance is.

Jack: Okay. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But these specifically have a Shinto gate.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or structure. Not specifically Shinto gate, but something almost identical in structure. Except this was built so long ago that it predates the existence of Jesus.

Jack: Which is unknown. Which is not familiar. How long ago? But it's way older than he is.

Cristina: Before he made his Shinto gates. Yes. Wow.

Jack: Yes. So again, he clearly went there to perfect Shinto gates because they were crisp when he made them. But we know somebody taught him how to make them. Yes, Presumably Hermes.

Cristina: Yeah. With the Stonehenges.

Jack: Which. Yeah. Which is likely what we're seeing in those locations. Old primitive versions of these gates. Legend suggested the yokai swap babies with humans because they believe humans will raise benevolent children.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes. Children who understand the ways of the humans and the ways of the yokai.

Cristina: That's what's important.

Jack: That's what's important.

Cristina: Okay. It's something like necromance, but not really.

Jack: It's a cheat sheet. It's a cheap way. Yeah, it's the cheap way to do it.

Cristina: There's something good about having someone that's both or multiple of whatever.

Jack: Yes. A hundred percent. A hundred percent.

Cristina: Which is weird because the sea people had a problem with the half of themselves breeding with humans, but.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Seems like everyone else is okay.

Jack: Everybody else is cool with it.

Cristina: It's cool with it.

Jack: But the Alicians are not. No, they had a legitimate problem with him.

Cristina: Yes. Although it may be leads. It has to do with Jesus, but who knows?

Jack: Well, no, they had a problem with it long before Jesus.

Cristina: Oh, okay, then. I don't know why.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, we had. Who. It was Azazel, I believe, who got arrested for however long for impregnating a female no, actually, it was having. No, it wasn't. It wasn't Shadow Realm individuals. They had a problem with Alicians mating with humans.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Jack: These aren't Alicians, aren't shadow people. What the h*** are you talking about?

Cristina: But, like, why? Like, everyone else seems to be cool with mixing, I guess. Shadow Realm people. I guess. Yes, but.

Jack: Yeah, but these are. The Alicians weren't dealing with that. The Elysians were mixing two kinds of earthlings.

Cristina: If they want necromancers, that's the best way to do it.

Jack: Right? But they. They didn't have a problem. Idzamna was a human, literally a human, and Ixchel, his wife, was a Shadow Realm individual. They have no problem with that. Yeah, their problem was explicitly humans with Elysians.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Well, they have an issue with Nephilim. They didn't like the Nephilim.

Cristina: Wonder why, though. Like, what makes them different? Because necromancers come from this thing of different beings coming together.

Jack: No, necromancer is a human.

Cristina: Is a human. He doesn't have to be part anything.

Jack: No, he has to be purely human. And then die.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. And then after you've. After you've studied the hermetic logic or.

Cristina: Whatever, you need to know every. About everything, I guess.

Jack: You need to know about everything, then die and come back. Okay, so these children couldn't be necromancers. They have the blood. The humans that were kidnapped have the ability to be a necromancer because you must be a human who made. No, but you. I don't understand. You had to consume Adrenocrome at some point. It's part of it. It has to be. How do you die and cross? Right? It has to be part of.

Cristina: Could be feeding the baby's blood.

Jack: And so they have the DNA to do it, but they just don't have the knowledge. So they couldn't be. It's just a cheap way. It's. You have the ability to cross, but you don't have the ability to manipulate. That's really what it ends up being, I guess. Necromancer DNA. If you ever go on the path, my son, you can. But, like, none of us f****** did.

Cristina: Because it was easier this way.

Jack: It was easier. Yeah. And, yeah, this kind of breaks down into essentially a hybrid child to cultivate peace and coexistence with humans was the goal.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So there are locations that coexist with humans, which we know about with the Naga. Which we know about with the Nephilim.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And now we're learning about the Shadow Realm. The Shadow Realm equivalent everywhere had people living in coexistence with other people. It was just normal. Now, the Brigadoon in Scotland. This is a weird one. It appears every 100 years.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: And can otherwise might be seen by humans.

Cristina: But it's a village.

Jack: Yeah. Exists primarily in the Shadow realm. But every 100 years the veil thins enough to be seen.

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: Very strange. It's plagued by strange time anomalies.

Cristina: That sounds right.

Jack: And confusing changes in the forest's directions.

Cristina: Ooh. Very familiar.

Jack: Yes. Visitors describe feeling like time is repeating or overlapping.

Cristina: That is scary. That is so scary. Okay. But visitors, like, even when it's not there, they're just visiting the area.

Jack: The area where it would be. Yes.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: And even if they don't see a thing. An infinite feeling of deja vu. Like the moment is repeated. Like if you get deja vu every couple of minutes over and over and over, you start losing your mind. Like, what the f*** is going on?

Cristina: Crazy. It's crazy what's happening. Whoa.

Jack: It's weirder that it shows up every 100 years. I don't know what the h*** that's about. That requires a like, deep dive of its own.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because something strange is happening there that might inform other things. Every 100 years. Like what the f***?

Cristina: Like the. Like the gate at the Mayan place. Isn't that how it works? Every something years? No, Every year. Every one. Once every year.

Jack: Twice every year.

Cristina: Twice every year. It's very specific.

Jack: Yeah. During the solstices.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But yeah. This is a weird one. This is 100 years. Every 100 years. Well, my guess would be that this lines up with something in space.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's some kind of astronomical thing that happens roughly every 100 years and positions it just right so that this becomes possible. Because we forget that a lot. A lot of this s*** is connected to space. Allows mofos dip in and out of space. And because we can't get stories from space, we have no narratives about this. But like, bruh, there's probably s***. We know a bunch of these dudes just dipped out into space. So there's crap out there.

Cristina: Yes, There's a lot of. They know about space. Yes, for sure. We know. They know the tech.

Jack: They've got the tech. It's like water to them. It's super easy now. La Isla de las Muniecas and Los Pueblos Perdidos in Mexico. This is the island of the Dolls and the lost towns. In Mexico. Now, La Isa de la Munacas is an island off the coast, and there's several villages identical to it in their behavior. Said to have been established by Ixchel herself.

Cristina: Ixchel?

Jack: The wife of Itzamna, the leader of the Earth gods. So these were established back in the time of Maya.

Cristina: She made them.

Jack: She personally made them. These villages were constructed with the assistance of El Castillo, which is what you were talking about. That is the pyramid gate that activates through the solstices. And they allowed for spirits, Jinn, to live locally among the humans. I didn't realize there were more. Twice a year, they'd perform rituals which would allow some djinn to move into human villages and some humans to move into Jinn villages. The human sacrifices just made sense right now?

Cristina: Yes, they're known for that.

Jack: They weren't even sacrifices. That's just. They were trying to explain what was happening, and we're like, they were killing people. And it's like. That's just part of the process, bro.

Cristina: That is part of the process. That's crazy.

Jack: It's not the end of life. It's the continuation of perception, and it's the end of your current state.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I guess the human sacrifices weren't sacrifices. They were humans transitioning.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so were the gin. Some gin would come in, some humans would go weird.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. And she was involved.

Jack: She was involved. And they all existed kind of in the same plane, and you could interact kind of when the veil was thin enough, but you'd mostly live over there or over here, and it didn't matter which side you were born on.

Cristina: Yeah, but for humans that lived in the area, they just saw it empty most of the time.

Jack: Well, no, this is an area with high activity, and there's a literal gate just there, one that everybody knows about. Okay, so presumably this is more like Clinton Road.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: When you're driving by the road and you see a bunch of crap from the other side regularly, and there doesn't really need to be anything happening. It just looks populated all the time. Now, we know that paradise doesn't work this way. Paradise is positioned tactically and far enough from anything and everything so that it always looks empty. But presumably there's other neighborhoods there that aren't paradise. There's other things. Maybe the kids from paradise wander off and play, and we see those while we're driving on Clinton Road. You get my point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so if near El Castillo itself, you see nothing far away from El Castillo, everybody's interacting, regardless of what side they're on. Because this is natural and normal, and one of your leaders is a Jin, and the other one is a human. And it just makes perfect sense for everything to be nice and mixed up here.

Cristina: That's crazy. Okay. And she did that on purpose. Okay.

Jack: Nevertheless, they were known for doing what? Working on kids?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Portals. I don't know why this didn't come up before.

Cristina: That is weird. Oh, my gosh. She was just making portals.

Jack: And there's an island that was entirely dominated by Jin, which is La Isla de las Mun.

Cristina: Why is it called that, though?

Jack: Don't know. Don't worry about it. It's his name.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weird names.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But, yeah, they had a bunch of Djinn and a bunch of human living on either side. No discrepancy, no discrimination. Just perfect hybrid. Yeah. You want to move over there? Well, you got to wait for the date or whatever.

Cristina: But today it's not like that. Like, these stories are old.

Jack: Well, let me tell you something very interesting. Where did the Mayans go? They just disappeared, we said. Underground.

Cristina: You'Re saying. Maybe not.

Jack: Maybe not.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They could have just dipped out. They could still be right where they were.

Cristina: We can't see them.

Jack: We can't with them. We can't touch them. We can't see them.

Cristina: I wonder why they decided that, though.

Jack: Because of a problem.

Cristina: It's always because of a problem, I guess. Yeah.

Jack: And it all happened around the same time. Something. Something. We still don't know what. Regardless of how much research we get, we'd never get the answer.

Cristina: But you're thinking it was safer to hide in the shadow realm?

Jack: It was safer to hide in the.

Cristina: Shadow realm than be here.

Jack: And Jesus wasn't the problem. Because Jesus didn't give a s***. He was just doing whatever. Jesus went to the shadow.

Cristina: Exactly. Yeah. I was going to say, like, he's over there, too.

Jack: So, you know, he could easily go in and out. It's weird, right? Yeah, they probably dipped out to the shadow realm.

Cristina: But why? So many questions. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. That kind of merits looking at them again. So, yeah, twice a year, they would do this. It's crazy, because it just makes total sense. And the ritual basically involved crossing the threshold of El Castillo. Often, people would be, quote, sacrificed at the top of El Castillo's threshold, which isn't a f****** sacrifice with this context.

Cristina: It's just part of the process.

Jack: Just what you do. I want to move over there.

Cristina: But they all decided to do that.

Jack: They had to. At some point, for some reason. Everybody, we all gotta go.

Cristina: Why? What a mystery. We gotta find out.

Jack: We still don't know why. We've been looking for years at this point.

Cristina: Yes, but this is so different. Because we thought that they went underground and.

Jack: No, well, where they went changed. But why they went is still the same question.

Cristina: Yes, I guess it's still the same question. Yes.

Jack: Yeah. If we were going to find out.

Cristina: For Jesus, the other thing might have made a little bit more sense.

Jack: Yeah. So it's. I mean, now we know it couldn't have been Jesus wasn't doing anything to hurt people. Well, at least the Elysians were definitely threatened by Jesus. And the last one is called the Quiet Towns. This one is in Russia. These are villages said to be invisible to the human eye, but their imprint could be visible in the form of abandoned structures and the silhouette of invisible structures in the night.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: You could see buildings that aren't there at night.

Cristina: Sometimes I feel like we were talking about something like that in Paradise. Not paradise in Clinton Road. I'm not sure what the stories were that led us to that conversation of like, maybe there's things, buildings there. Maybe it was time related that we can't see.

Jack: Oh yeah.

Cristina: It could be shadow realm related. I'm not sure. Yeah, like maybe that's why people see things.

Jack: People through the thin places, seeing structures that weren't there. Yeah.

Cristina: So that could be what's going on.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now again we enter an area with three individuals, so inhabited by the Rusalka, which are water nymphs and spirits and the souls of the dead. That's three different things.

Cristina: Water nymphs.

Jack: Yeah, but that could be anything. They're being so specific there. It could literally not unless they had a very specific kind of creature existing in the area.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now here we enter again. Were they known for abducting children with the explicit intent of cultivating a hybrid civilization between the spirits and the humans? Always allowing the existence of nymphs and spirits among humans to be so normal and common that they'd never draw attention to themselves. It's just about living in harmony. You don't want to be weird. So you get used to having some of us and we'll get used to having some of you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Weirdly enough, these are considered sacred places and places of good luck and great fortune.

Cristina: These places, the quiet town.

Jack: Yeah. Old lore suggests people would pray their infant children would be selected and blessed by the spirits.

Cristina: Nymphs, that's different. But okay.

Jack: Now it's almost. Until the context gets added, having a spirit child meant indefinite protection for the family checks out. If their kid is now with you and your kid is with them, you're.

Cristina: Tied together will protect you.

Jack: They're gonna protect you. That's really their child. And they're raising your child. They feel they owe you something.

Cristina: That's interesting. That's weird that it didn't work out like that for, like, other places that have this kind of thing going on. But they're like, no, they stole my child. Like, they're fearful of their child being swapped. Not like this where they're praying that.

Jack: Fair enough. I don't think they were particularly horrified of it because they were like, oh, these are just whack band in places or whatever. But definitely it wasn't like, oh, it's good that my kid got kidnapped. But here's like, please take my baby and give me one of yours. It was like, they're praying my kid will always be protected if you take them.

Cristina: Yes. They have much better relationship.

Jack: Yeah. It's the highest honor to have your baby taken by the spirits. Weird. Having an abducted child meant always having family among the spirits. Logic.

Cristina: I wonder if there's stories like that. Then. Like, I'm thinking about Clinton Road. But, like, it doesn't matter because, like, it's just a bunch of people being kidnapped. So it doesn't. Like, how many are children? How many are not even in the area that are being taken to the area?

Jack: Yeah. It's visitors being that go missing. There's no locals go missing. It's weird. Right? This makes perfect sense. This is. I. It looks like everything else we just read is an attempt to get this going. Everything else is trying to accomplish what just goes on in quiet towns.

Cristina: It really depends on how fearful the humans, I guess, are in the area.

Jack: Yes, 100%. But it makes perfect sense. You please take my child because my family will forever be safe. Because the spirits will protect and my child will be blessed in the greatest of ways. I couldn't even imagine how they bless my child. It'll be raised among the spirits and in. In this place beyond my comprehension.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And I will raise their child, making sure that they always look kindly upon us. Well, it literally says that the family of the nymph and the spirits. The spirits and nymphs would always look kindly upon the family that they shared offspring with. The swap ties you to whatever family took your child. You are now an extended family of jinn and humans.

Cristina: And that's only happening in this location.

Jack: That's the way they're interpreting it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I'm sure. That's kind of what's happening everywhere else. Where it's like, well, we put our kid there.

Cristina: Yeah, we're gonna. So no one uses this type language.

Jack: To describe everyone else. Is like, oh, my God, something off with my child. It's like, you'd be fine. You're fine. Nothing's ever. Nothing else has ever happened because they're just watching over you now.

Cristina: Except they did murder your child.

Jack: They don't know that. They don't know that. They just think I was being raised over there. No, that kid was killed. Yeah, but I mean, it's physically killed. It's fine.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess it's fine.

Jack: As fine as it could be for the situation. Weird. These are the things I have found that kind of fit perfectly and enlighten what could be happening in Paradise Road. In fact, it kind of makes paradise work a little boring. All these are way cooler. In fact, the quiet town is the best one because it's. They turn it into literal ritual and religion and faith and tradition.

Cristina: That's pretty cool. But that. That one's appears every so often. What was it, 100 years? That's the one.

Jack: No, that is one of the earlier ones. That's the Brigadoon in Scotland.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's all we gotta look at. That's some whole other going on that kind of fits, but also kind of has a lot of differences going on.

Cristina: And this one then is. It's still happening. It's still. It's just an everyday thing.

Jack: What, the other quiet towns? Yeah, yeah. It's. Older folk believe in it.

Cristina: That's so weird. It is like paradise everywhere.

Jack: Yes. Yeah, it is. Paradise Road everywhere. And a lot of these places, everything that I didn't mention that. Keep in mind, I began by explaining the details. That every single one of these towns has exactly the same folklore, exactly the same kind of. There's a way in or something. The finer details. The only part that they don't all have is the abduction part, because some of them didn't. But there's a lot to do. And. Yeah, it's just like this kind of is everywhere. And it's probably what's happening in Paradise.

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Except paradise might be a little sketchier. Maybe it might be leaning towards malicious. A little.

Cristina: Yes. Because there's. There is a secret group of something happening underneath the castle, most likely. Come on.

Jack: Like. Yeah. There's no culture around it. It's kind of just like, f*** these families.

Cristina: Yes. There's some kind of dark happening.

Jack: Yeah. Compared to the cultural Development of older variations of this. It's boring. But when we take away the fact that this has happened for a long time, then we have to consider an interesting fact. Everything I just told you about is ancient. Not Paradise Road.

Cristina: No. Okay.

Jack: That's new and sketchy as.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's weird things happening that lean more towards science, less towards tradition and ritual and the want to interact safely with humans. No, there's no vibe about interacting safely with humans going.

Cristina: No, not at all.

Jack: Not present by any means.

Cristina: Why is it so much more darker?

Jack: It is, though, creepy and malicious feeling.

Cristina: Yeah. And you didn't find any creepy stories like that, though.

Jack: Not any important relevance what we're talking about.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Nothing that lined up so hard. Like these. These were the biggest.

Cristina: Interesting. The ones that stand out, though the ones that match the most are nothing like it. They're also more peaceful. Like. Yes, you're fearful of it, but it's.

Jack: Not because it's the unknown.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's all it is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's not like in every case it's the unknown. Except for the Russians that apparently you just can't f****** scare Russians. They're just like, whatever, Take my child, b****.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They're just cool with it, like, whatever.

Cristina: Very strange what's happening. It's something different about Clinton still.

Jack: Yeah. Paradise is weird, man. There's something off there. It fits a lot of these characteristics, but with the most similar being the he bottle villages. But the he bought a village is ultimately just, you know, where the spirits are up there. The.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. But that would be the most similar in that. But then ultimately the goal is still to have a connection between the people. And the santeras are just witches, which are really just jinn women or wizards who would be gin men who were just traded at birth.

Cristina: Yeah. There's nothing like. There's nothing suspicious about any of it.

Jack: It's so transparent. And then you have paradise and Clinton and there's nothing but sketch.

Cristina: Yeah. What is going on? This just makes me question what's going on over there. Yes.

Jack: Anyways, that's what we got. That's what it is. I found some interesting things. I thought that was really cool. All of these different, you know, enlightening. And it. It also fits not just the fact that it kind of enlightens what's happening in Clinton, but the hybrid civilizations that we knew there had to be more of.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And now we found the third. We've known of Naga, we've known of Nephilim, and now we have of Jim. And it seems that Jin. The most obvious of them that should be the most of is everywhere.

Cristina: Of course. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. Because it'd be more rare to have like Naga everywhere. That has to be private. Private. And the nephilim, you know, you don't necessarily look as human as the rest of us, so, you know, private. Private.

Cristina: That is really cool though. Yeah, that's really cool. Weird.

Jack: Interesting. And all for peace in most cases. For peace. It's just for peace and to communicate and to share. And these people literally developed. The Russians literally developed a culture around it.

Cristina: That's cool. And it's just. It's just very strange. It just makes the other place very suspicious.

Jack: Yes. So three things to look at. We have to look deeper into paradise and Clinton. We have to look into the Brigadoon and find out what the h*** this hundred year thing is. That's f****** weird.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And definitely some refinement to be done about the Mayans.

Cristina: Yes. Where did they really go and why?

Jack: They're probably just still there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Probably just there right in front of us, but we can't see them.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: I like that.

Jack: Yes. Anywho, if you guys have any input, any thoughts, any ideas. If this information made you think of anything, let us know.

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the program where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. Is that not what we do? Is it not what what we do?

Cristina: I'm pretty sure we do that. We do that sometimes.

Jack: Sometimes. Are you claiming that on every single one of our episodes we've not given groundbreaking revelations that alter the way in which humans as a whole vis. Visualize reality?

Cristina: Are you about to show me something?

Jack: I'm about to show you something crazy.

Cristina: Is it more land? Is it more land to look at? And guess what? The land.

Jack: More land. No.

Cristina: No. Okay, good.

Jack: I got a chair.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I got a thing. I need you to walk the listeners who cannot see what you're seeing through what I am showing you.

Cristina: It's like a ghost lady robot alien.

Jack: That's fair. That's fair. I can see all the things you're talking about.

Cristina: She has red eyes. She has salad finger fingers. What are they called? They're very long. They're very long and thin fingers, but like a robotic torso, right? Red giant eyes. Like, if you saw her tonight, you think she's Mothman, but she doesn't have the wings. She does have crazy hair.

Jack: Doesn't that make so much f****** sense, to think that this is the Mothman?

Cristina: Yeah. If you saw that at night, you.

Jack: Would 100% think the Mothman.

Cristina: I don't know if that thing is her hair. It could be her hair. It could be. I don't know. Or her head is on fire. I don't know. It looks like from the Sharer's Point. Like, if it's painting what she's supposed to look like as well. Her head is glowing red. It's just a red glow coming from her head, I think. I'm not sure. Is she an alien? Is she a God? I don't know.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. Okay, walk us through the chair. Because you focus a lot on her. Walk us through this chair a little.

Cristina: It's a chair.

Jack: Of course.

Cristina: She's behind the chair. And are you sitting on her? Is she like a Santa Claus to someone or something? Like, why do you sit on the chair of her?

Jack: It would be sitting on her lap, I guess. Right?

Cristina: And there's like, a tiny image of, like, her next to a person. And a person's very tiny next to her.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: That's a normal grown person at her. She. She's humongous.

Jack: Important, important points.

Cristina: And so is that share that big. Like if some. An adult sits on that chair, they'll look tiny.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Why is she some Santa Claus alien robot thing? God, what is he? I don't know.

Jack: And you've gendered her, too. It's a her or it could be.

Cristina: A he, but, like, lady.

Jack: Yeah, it's.

Cristina: The thing is wearing a skirt.

Jack: It looks.

Cristina: A very long skirt.

Jack: What would you say is in between the skirt and its tor. Torso.

Cristina: Robot parts. Right.

Jack: Like springs or some.

Cristina: Yeah, or it's some kind of bug creature. Because, like, it's. Yeah, the. The torso is just.

Jack: Okay. An exoskeleton type of thing.

Cristina: Yeah. With the arms. It goes. Well, he. Or it was some type of bug.

Jack: The arms kind of get weird. Now tell me about these arms a little more.

Cristina: They're sticks. There's stick arms.

Jack: If you were to just see the arms, what would you think this is?

Cristina: A tree?

Jack: No, animal. Think animal.

Cristina: Some type of bug is really. All right.

Jack: You would think a bug.

Cristina: Yeah. I think it's related to a bug, but it's too huge.

Jack: What kind of a bug has fingers?

Cristina: I don't know. Like a stick bug thing that. It's just sticks. I don't know. I don't know. There's no animal that looks like that. Not even its hands? No.

Jack: Yes. There's a ton of them. There's an entire category that is so astoundingly large that it conquers an entire section of all life. We've ever considered lizards. Them, too, but not that way.

Cristina: Not.

Jack: No, not three. Birds. Birds.

Cristina: Birds. Bird hands. They're so thin.

Jack: Yeah. It looks like chicken hands.

Cristina: Chicken hands. Chicken hands. I don't.

Jack: Not chicken hands. We know bird hands. Just really.

Cristina: The red eyes make no sense. It has to be some. This is not Mothman. This is not Mothman. Someone just saw Mothman for real.

Jack: This is some kind of a robot, right?

Cristina: It's Mothman.

Jack: Why do you think it's Mothman?

Cristina: The eyes. Like, if you saw that night, you would think it's Mothman. There's no way. There's no way you wouldn't think this is Mothman. The giant size and the eyes. There's no way you'd think it's anything else.

Jack: It is a completely logical conclusion to make 100%. The cleanest, most logical approach would be. This has to be Mothman, right?

Cristina: Yes. I don't know what else it could be.

Jack: I thought exactly the Same thing. And it's not.

Cristina: It's not. But it's something.

Jack: It's a thing.

Cristina: It's a thing.

Jack: Allow me to walk you through.

Cristina: Is it an alien?

Jack: I guess that's for us to figure out.

Cristina: And this is somehow related to Clinton Road?

Jack: Well, it's related to everything. I wouldn't say Clinton Road in particular.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay.

Jack: It's bigger picture.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So the year is 1952. It's September 12th. Autumn. I guess autumn hasn't even started. When does autumn begin? It begins September 20th.

Cristina: 21St.

Jack: 21St. Oh, it's not autumn. Yeah, it's still this. The end of summer, the tail.

Cristina: It's feeling like fall.

Jack: Yeah, not really, because even the beginning of autumn still feels kind of hot. It's just really. Ultimately, the seasons break down into like. Like maybe six months of summer and six months of winter. With about three months. No, not even. Because that would be too many months.

Cristina: That would be what, six plus? Six plus.

Jack: No, it would be. What would it be? It would be 1, 2, 3, 4 months of each and then 2 months of each. Yeah, I guess that's how it would break down. It really feels so short.

Cristina: Yes, it works. Four. Four.

Jack: Yeah, four. Four, two, two. Okay, I have to move them over. I was just making randomness. I have to visualize the numbers moving over.

Cristina: Yeah, that makes sense. But like, the summer morning is still really cold. It's getting cold.

Jack: I like. Yeah, I like that feeling. The end of summer and the beginning of summer when the cold is in the morning and the heat is in the afternoon. But not excessive heat and not excessive cold. Just this kind of great intermediate area. I like that. That's the best. But also I like when it's always that consistently in spring, I guess.

Cristina: Yeah, that's the best autumn.

Jack: Autumn has a little bit colder going on. Spring has a little bit hotter going on with both of them. Perfect. Anyways, unrelated. Unrelated.

Cristina: How do we know it's not related?

Jack: I mean, it could totally be related. And so, I mean, literally, maybe it could be related because we know that the portals at different locations require the equin knocks to happen. And we don't know if heat is why or it's the alignment or it's the what is it? The hottest point of the day is the longest day. What. What do you. What factor are you looking for? So at the end of the day, like, come on. Our meters are fire, bro. We can connect any random two dots. We're skilled at this game. By now. Everything's gonna make sense. It checks Out. Yeah, could do that about any topic. Challenge us.

Cristina: Yes. Okay, tell me about this thing.

Jack: Yeah, challenge us. Look straight up if you're listening. Challenge us. Give us something. I promise it's. It fits in. I promise it's related, if it's weird or government related or anything. Give us anything. I promise you if it's weird, it's related. Or we'll make it. But 1952, September 12th, we're in Fleetwoods, which is in Braxton County, West Virginia.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: 1950S is kind of booming. You know, ladies got that weird puffy hair, that kind of curves at the end. And they got those skirts that just end perfect at their ankle and they got white socks on and that shoe.

Cristina: Is that what that thing is trying to do, is trying to look like.

Jack: One of those ladies?

Cristina: Oh, now we gotta find picture of these ladies you're talking about and compare.

Jack: That's kind of cool. That checks out a little.

Cristina: But it's too huge. Like, even if it was trying to attempt something like you're as tall as. You're as tall as the tree. What are you talking about?

Jack: Do you see how easy it is to think this thing is the Mothman, bro? How weird that it is trying to imitate people? Because that's just trying to imitate people, right? And what's the reports of the Mothman? He shows up tragedies and whatever. You know, he does this weird thing where he's kind of like reflecting people. Weird. Why? Why are you imitating people? How the is this not it? Unless this is something like it.

Cristina: Is it really? No, don't tell me yet. Just tell me what these ladies look like in that time.

Jack: Exactly what I described. And so I even lost my train of thought. So 1950s. Oh yeah, everything's booming. Ladies are looking nice, their hair is looking ridiculous, and they got. They all got little apron on top of their head. For whatever reason, TV shows it like that. Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't even happening in reality. That was just the. The, you know, the traditional woman was doing that. The common woman wasn't. And that's why the traditional woman was looking down on the common woman. Because you don't have an apron over your head, you w****. Okay, you know, so the. So that's why in. In images they had the apron. It was all lady like, I bet. Don't look it up. It's probably true.

Cristina: Doesn't sound right.

Jack: How would you. Okay, solve it. Let's solve it right here, right now. How. Why was the air apron, their hairstyle.

Cristina: Was so perfect that they didn't want to mess it up.

Jack: Oh, s***. That could totally be it too. Mad hairspray. But then you're not even showing it off. So they would only wear going to.

Cristina: Somewhere you need to cover it. And then when you're there, you take.

Jack: It out and it's just a tiny little thing you could put in your pockets.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: And your skirts were so fluffy. They probably had pockets before big pocket got to you. And try big. What is it? Big purse. No.

Cristina: They will tie it around their neck maybe.

Jack: Oh. Oh, man. You piece this all together because they do have some. That looks kind of like a scarf or some s***. No, it's not. It's not.

Cristina: It's not.

Jack: It's too thin. What they know. So they probably put it in their giant skirt pocket. Big purse hasn't destroyed pockets yet.

Cristina: You don't know. I don't know. When was that?

Jack: Around in the 1950s. You think there were purses, like, super popular. I bet.

Cristina: I bet when they came out with purses, it became super popular, like immediately. Yes. I think that was a hot thing, purses. Yeah.

Jack: And then they were like, f*** pockets. We could have so many more clothing option if we don't have to consider pockets. And. Oh, is this a typical. We're playing with fire, not thinking about the repercussions. And so we. We're not envisioning a future without pockets.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're just envisioning, oh, why can't we have both?

Cristina: Why can't we have both pockets?

Jack: We've gone too far. Science has taken us away from pockets.

Cristina: Bring it back. Bring back the pockets.

Jack: Science is taking us away from pockets. Pockets are inefficient. Or for whatever reason science deemed women with pockets is useless. Women with pockets is useless.

Cristina: According to survival, have pockets. And then they still need to carry things. So then they have that little purse on the waist.

Jack: A man purse. Yes.

Cristina: No. Yeah.

Jack: Like, no. Yeah. What do you. F**** pack.

Cristina: F**** pack. That's the man purse. And like, you see, they have pockets and it's not enough.

Jack: So how much crap are they walking around with that they need all that.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: F**** packs, ultimately, or let's really be realistic. When you gotta carry your medicine around. You're an older man.

Cristina: I guess so. Well, you're an older person. Yes.

Jack: And when you're classy older, dude, you carry a briefcase with your meds in them.

Cristina: That makes no sense. That's mad work. Why not just get a f**** pack?

Jack: No. If you're in A suit all day.

Cristina: Get a lunchbox.

Jack: Yeah, no, some kind of small. It could look like you have a work bag. You know, a little work.

Cristina: Yes, but I have a briefcase just for medicine.

Jack: Not a little briefcase. You know, like a small work case. Suitcase, whatever.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, it looks like something you'd put a laptop in.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: And you carry that around. But really, it just goes neat with your suit. You probably have a couple of different ones that match your suit. Because you're classy, dude. You work. You're working man at the top of your super tower.

Cristina: Okay. You take mad meds because you're old.

Jack: Just. Oh, it's one of the unfortunate old people who just hear mad medication because they just eat whatever the doctors say instead of working out. Anyways, all of this somehow has to do with the 1950s.

Cristina: What does this lady have to do? Or this thing. What is this thing?

Jack: Well, it's 1950s, where this thing kind of looks like this lady we were describing for whatever reason.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But anyways, 1950s women are booming. Or people at 50s are booming, whatever. The boom in 50s. I know that's wrong, but close enough. And it's exactly 7:15pm According to Sword from people.

Cristina: So this is multiple people reporting.

Jack: Yeah, it's about to get weird, bro. Okay, so let's begin. The sighting begins with brothers Edward and Fred May and their friend Tommy. Hire report seeing an exceptionally bright, exceptionally fast moving object across the sky. They thought a meteor. Who?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. And they claim it hit a neighbor's farm belonging to G. Bailey Fisher. Neighbor. So we got Edward and we got Fred and we got Tommy. And together they see a thing go across the sky. They're like, oh, s***, skyrockes on.

Cristina: Okay, so are they gonna go onto the farm to investigate it?

Jack: Yeah, they're gonna go do that. But as they're going onto the farm to investigate it, they see that it didn't really hit. It kind of slowed down as they followed it.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Yeah. So they run back all three. Keep in mind, we already got three eyewitnesses. Nobody is dead. Nobody died. These are eyewitnesses that lived and all told exactly the same story. Now they get back.

Cristina: Back to where?

Jack: Home. Oh, and they run to actually a neighbor's house. Kathleen May, unrelated. Where they explained what had happened. He was like, what had happened was. And then she immediately didn't believe him because she said what had happened. But anyways, as he said what had happened was, we saw this weird thing go across the sky. And then it was. As we followed it to Go see the crash. It was kind of like moving. We were close to the hill. We started running because we wanted to see it go, hit the thing. And it just stopped moving kind of slowly. And we freaked out because we don't know how to explain that. And here we are telling you about it.

Cristina: That's kind of lame.

Jack: Yeah. And she was like, well, that's kind of weird. I mean, all three of you saw it and they were like, yeah, it was kind of like they're slowing down.

Cristina: So I don't get it. Why wouldn't they just. It's like an incomplete story. Why would they do that?

Jack: I know.

Cristina: You see something weird and you don't finish through what you're seeing.

Jack: Well, most horror horrifying stories end with the people who went to investigate dying.

Cristina: That's why. Then they should have said, okay, one of us has to stay while the other two run or something. Like make some weird bet with your friends to get one of you to stay at the spot.

Jack: It has to happen this way. One of you needs to keep looking at it. The other one. The other two, one is gonna keep their eye on you, who's on top of the hill.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And the others get. Yeah, the other is gonna stand in front of him. So he's gonna see two people, one looking at him and one at the hill.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Also looking at him.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He's going to be looking only towards them while the guy looking at him directly in front of him is going to be guiding him, looking where they're walking.

Cristina: Okay. But the farthest guy also has to try to get someone to I guess share the news or.

Jack: Yes, they're gonna keep looking at him to make sure he doesn't just vanish or something. Because if he just. Something attacked them, they can say that happened, but eventually they gotta like turn away or something.

Cristina: Yeah. That's why the third guy is not. Doesn't have to pay too much attention because he's trying to wave at somebody or.

Jack: Yeah, they're just already in the neighborhood.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's just a matter of don't lose sight of him ever. Don't lose sight of him ever. The problem is they don't have hella history of. Of sci fi movies to build on logic. You know, if they just had a bunch of media of sci fi media.

Cristina: So you're saying there's no sci fi media in the 50s.

Jack: Not. Not the way they would need to handle this. Oh, they need some particular apathy. We're being bred now to have. Think about the apathy we're slowly building towards everything. It's because something big is coming, and they need us to not freak the f*** out. It's either the coming of Jesus is actually about to happen and most of us are f***** up, or there's some kind of crazy force headed our direction, and the strong are about to survive, and they're trying to make us all the strong. And they know most of us aren't gonna be it. But, you know, prepare as many as you can, okay? And that's. We're getting slowly watered down to just be like, hey, here's a bunch of alien stuff. It's probably alien guys. And everybody was like, cobra.

Cristina: Cool. Sorry.

Jack: Cool. Mission accomplished. You're doing it. They're doing it. But this lady is like, that's kind of weird. So I can't really do much.

Cristina: Or else you guys investigate unless we get.

Jack: Unless we really see what happened. I can't. Like, we can't run to the cops or something. That's crazy.

Cristina: Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

Jack: We got to really go. Look, man, somebody's going to run all the way to the cops and get the cop to come all the way over here.

Cristina: I mean, that is what you do, though.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: You tell the cops.

Jack: Is there even something there? Did something weird happen?

Cristina: I don't know if you truly believe that. I think you'd still call the cops.

Jack: Yes. Luckily, Kathleen is a connected woman, okay? Presumably for reasons we don't have to discuss. As a grown woman, she could do what she wants. I don't know why she's got men who could do her favors at the blink of an eye. But she asks her friend who happens to be a National guard, Eugene Lemonade.

Cristina: 11.

Jack: Yeah, okay. And she. The ridiculous name. I can't even believe this is how the story unfolded. Once I saw this, I'm like, how the. Is this not just a stupid, creepy pasta or something?

Cristina: It's not.

Jack: It's not. I'm like, man, there's real news articles about this thing.

Cristina: Okay, so tell me about Lemon. Mr. Lemon, he investigates.

Jack: So he. He's like, going up there, but everybody's like, we're gonna go check, too, you know, now we got a National Guard. We're good.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We're good. He's got a gun. We're fine. Yeah, so she's going up there. I don't know why she's. I mean, bro, I'm telling you, there's something on about this lady and that guy.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Right? Like, come on. She's like, bro, you want to do me a favor and come check this out. And then she's going to check it out with him. Bro. Kathleen. What have you been up to? Kathleen. But I don't know if she was married. Nothing says she was married again. She's a single woman. As far as I know. She could do what she wants.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They couldn't investigate. So Edward and Fred May join unrelated Kathleen May in order to go to Bailey Fisher's farm.

Cristina: There's just two unrelated MAEs. Not even by cutting.

Jack: I mean we're talking the 50s, bro. We gotta populate somehow. Anyway, so. And they're accompanied by some. The neighborhood kids too. Nunley, Ronnie and you know. Yeah, just a group of kids.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: A group of kids. Tell me this isn't like the setup, the stranger Things. Well, I guess a bunch of kids, some cop like figure and the lady all going to investigate the thing. Except they're from a city.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, they're in the city.

Jack: No, this is in the middle of f****** nowhere.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Well, you just saw this s***.

Cristina: Something many things actually inspired by a lot of crap. Yeah.

Jack: This happened in the time. It's totally be pulling from this for sure. For sure. Okay. So they run, we get there. They arrive to check. Right.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: The group reaches the top of the hill and as they get there where they saw the. The object sort of vanish over initially and slow down when they got closer, they. It's dark now by the way. Obviously now it's getting dark. It happened already towards. I guess. Yeah. It was 7:15, which I began with at 7:15.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: All of this happened. They ran. They saw a thing in the sky. They ran times ticking. Clocks of ticking. It was still daylight. Ish.

Cristina: Somebody to come join them.

Jack: So now. Yeah, they get all this. By the time they're getting here, it's like 8, 8 20. And now it's getting dark. So they're arriving there and it's just kind of, you know that very period of. Right. When it became night. When this is darkest point of the night because it's darker than any part of the night. What do they call that? Dusk. Right. The darkest point when it's just pure blackness for a moment. And it was that point of night when they make it to the top of the hill because you know, Chance the universe decided to write their scenario like this. It's half of it sounds like bullshit. They were just too many reports. These people started painting pictures at some point. But they f****** summarize to be like this. It's crazy. Anyways. So they get There. And the first thing that they see. Keep in mind, all eyewitnesses agreed to exactly the same descriptors for what happened that night. That's what makes this trippy. Hella different people moved into isolation and questioned by several different agencies because of the astronomically weird circumstance. All had the same story to incredible detail as decided by government agencies. Interesting. Let us continue. Okay, now, when they get to the top of the hill, all of them notice something really weird. A red glow, faint, sort of like an amorphous blob.

Cristina: Okay. And they think it's the thing that hit the ground or something.

Jack: They have no idea what this has to do with anything.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They have no idea what this has to do with anything. This isn't even where the thing landed. They got to the top of the hill and they saw this thing standing in front of the farm's fence, unrelated to the landing site of whatever that thing was, which they thought was a meteor until this very moment where now they're questioning everything they've ever seen. Because how the h*** do you just have a glowing red aura thing?

Cristina: This is the thing that we see in the picture that they're looking at now. Or.

Jack: No, this is what they claimed. Ultimately the summary of all their descriptions. What? Yeah, this is basically what they saw. So they see this glowing thing and Eugene, the National Guard guy, who's got the flashlight, so he's cool, he's got a flashlight and a gun, is basically Leon Kennedy at this point. And he, he's Hopper, you know, he goes and he flashes the light at the red aura. And when he does the one thing he sees, because nothing else comes back, like blackness, blackness, nothing there. The only thing that makes it through the dark is the red eyes. The aura disappears and we just see red eyes.

Cristina: I guess that, but okay, right now.

Jack: That was disturbing to everybody. So everybody. Oh my God. Yeah, everybody saw the same thing. And they were like, you know, freaked out for a second. Holy. What the f***? Right now descriptions, as soon as he panicked and moved, the light being moved allowed the silhouette of the thing to come into view.

Cristina: Does it look like its head is on fire? Like what's happening?

Jack: So their descriptions go as, follow, standing in front of the fence. Now also, also, I guess we have to describe exactly what happened before I give you the description. They walk to the top of the hill, they see it shine, the thing, the eyes become clear. And when he shifted and got scared, the light came off, revealing the things body. And almost like if it wasn't looking at him, suddenly the Eyes disappear and then they come from the side again. Like his head was somewhere else the whole time and turn to look at him. Trippy. I'll repeat how confusing that is. It was looking. It's like if I'm looking at you right now, my eyes. My whole face is looking forward. And then somehow this image of me looking like this fuzzes up and you.

Cristina: Can'T tell that I'm. That you're looking at me, that I'm.

Jack: Looking at the side. And then I'm suddenly just coming around and looking at you.

Cristina: Oh, weird.

Jack: Yeah. So it looks like I'm looking at you right now. And then my head phases out almost. You can't even tell. It just looks like I get blurry. And then you only notice that it's not me looking at you when I'm starting to turn to look at you.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That happened. And everybody saw it.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Weird. That was confusing. I don't even know how else to point that. I've never heard that description ever. Weird. But they all had that same kind of like, what the f***? We thought it was looking our way and then as a sudden, now it's looking our way and.

Cristina: But it looked. The face looked the same both ways.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Of. It's not looking.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And looking or whatever.

Jack: Strange.

Cristina: Very strange.

Jack: It's an owl, bro. Again, perfect thought.

Cristina: But how tall is it?

Jack: There we go. It was about 10ft tall.

Cristina: That's ridiculous.

Jack: That's ridiculous. That is where they initially got startled. The height of those eyes. Well, had them shook, like, oh, f***. What the h*** is that? And then the thing looking their way.

Cristina: And then what just disappears like. Well, where they freak out and run away.

Jack: Well, they say it looked like some sort of shadowy figure, silhouette of some sort. It appeared to have the glowing visible aura outlining it. That was red. A red aura outlining it faintly. The large glowing crimson eyes. And it seemed to have a tail. They all thought they saw some sort of a tail or something.

Cristina: Any type of description on the tail?

Jack: No, they were. They just claimed tail. I actually wanted to know what kind of like, was it fuzzy or was it this?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The closest thing to a descriptor felt like thin. But it was like the. No, no hair details, no nothing. They were unclear on the size and everything. They were just like. They think it had a tail.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Its shape seemed to be vaguely triangular too. They seem to be point here towards the top and wider towards the bottom, which fits your description of having a skirt. Now here's an interesting thing in describing that triangular Shape. A couple of people said something that I found interesting and fits instantly, which is that it looks like it has a robe.

Cristina: It has a robe pointier towards the top.

Jack: Like a cloak type thing that's on.

Cristina: Top of the head looks or the image, not that that's the actual description. It doesn't look like the thing on its head is actually there. Like that's part of the glow, the aura of this thing.

Jack: Fascinating. Yeah. I think everybody agrees with you. I don't think that the fuzz that's around it is it by any means. It's part of it. I think its head does have some sort of a small hood on it.

Cristina: It has a small hood?

Jack: No. I would say that underneath the dark, its outfit would claim that there's a hood because it looks like the rest of it is a robe.

Cristina: And what's happening to its ribs, though? They describe that better.

Jack: Well, let's look at this again, because I'm thinking you're claiming this outside, this is what you're talking about, right?

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: I don't think that's part of it. I think this outfit that it has looks like some sort of a robe. And maybe this is an exaggeration. And in fact, more like the chair, what it had was some sort of a belt wrapped around it, which is typical of, you know, monks and of, you know, Jesus, like people and of Hermes and things like that, that they get robed up and they tie at the waist.

Cristina: Well, what about the ribs?

Jack: Well, this is what I'm saying. I'm saying that. Yes. I'm saying there's. If anything, if we were to say that this is to look like something familiar. Oh, that would be the belt.

Cristina: Okay. You know, he's in their description, though. They don't say anything about that.

Jack: They don't focus on it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's just a focus point. Not a focus point. It's a point in the outfit that it has or its body shape that was vaguely highlighted but isn't focused on like the rest. So it's, you know, debatable whether it was part of it or not.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because keep in mind, we have a lot of witnesses. So no variations are included in here, only similarities. Although the images show details from variations. As you saw, the chair has a belt and the creature over here has, like, rails or something.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But as you're looking, they panic. Tall, giant turns at them after it was looking at them. Weird moment. It's huge, 10ft tall. Looks kind of like it has a skirt or like it has A robe. It has a glowing aura around it and they all notice the same glowing eyes. And another weird detail.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Its weird claw like hands. And its weird claw like hands were like in front of him. He was reaching out for something weird.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: Yeah, but it wasn't reaching out towards them, only its head was.

Cristina: When it turned its head was doing what?

Jack: Its head looked at them. Its body.

Cristina: Oh, weird. Okay.

Jack: Very strange. Its behaviors were odd. Now, when Eugene tried to get closer. This is a key detail right here. It vanished into thin air as Eugene described it. Like a cloud. He became less there the closer we got. Weird and familiar.

Cristina: Like from what?

Jack: So much of the crap in Clinton Road.

Cristina: How close was he to it when they first saw it?

Jack: Do you know how close was he to what?

Cristina: The thing. Oh, because he wasn't close to it at all. When he got closer, it disappeared.

Jack: Yes. So the top of the hill to the front was about 100ft apart to the front of the fence where this thing was.

Cristina: Yes. But he got closer then as he.

Jack: Got closer, how close was he by the time it disappeared? Yeah, I have an idea.

Cristina: Oh, okay. So he just got closer and it disappeared.

Jack: Yeah, it was. The distance was anywhere between 150. Between 50 and 100ft.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And as it got close, as they got closer, it just sort of wasn't there anymore.

Cristina: But they don't think of him or this thing as the Mothman.

Jack: They don't think of it as a Mothman.

Cristina: Okay. Because like the whole. It was flying in the sky beforehand. And then I don't know, there's a lot of weird stuff. That's. Okay.

Jack: Mothman adjacent.

Cristina: Yeah. Well, do they think it is.

Jack: So I don't know. They don't have. They just call it literally Braxton county monster.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: And they have no idea what it is. But this thing has very gin like characteristics minus some things here or there. And it's a particularly huge creature. I don't think we've seen gin this size at all. Jin tend to be more human. Like maybe the size of Elysians, which are just taller.

Cristina: Yeah, it's size made me think like it was some type of like Indian God type thing. Like those things are huge, aren't they?

Jack: Or they're description Greek gods or some s***, Right? Yeah, one of those tall Adonis kind of guys, you know. But no, that's kind of weird, the fact that everybody saw all of this. Now the next day, Lee Stewart Jr. Of the Braxton Democrats, which is a news reporter, that's the name of the paper that he works for. Whatever went to investigate and he discovered skid marks on the property of something actually making impact.

Cristina: Okay, weird. That's weird.

Jack: Very strange.

Cristina: You got pictures of that?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Okay, that's curious.

Jack: And after further investigating with some special friends of his, he came up and found there was a gummy clay like substance that was located where the skid marks were. Some weird residue.

Cristina: What did he do with that residue?

Jack: Nothing. He looked at it and was like residue? Yeah, I'm sure they collected it. What were they gonna do with it?

Cristina: I don't know. Take it to the lab, See if it's human?

Jack: Yeah, probably. They did all that, See if it's.

Cristina: Human or it's alien? I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, I guess if it's alien or. I was guessing, like, what kind of metal it was or something. But.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I guess he wouldn't think. I'm still thinking, like, it's a ship or something. It could be because, like, it landed and this thing came out of it.

Cristina: Oh, well, wouldn't they have seen the thing that landed?

Jack: Yeah, they saw it literally stop and hover.

Cristina: Well, was it that. That they were looking at? Because they never. This said, really a description of the.

Jack: Thing, that's another problem. It flew by quick. It was just a giant bright light in the sky moving that thing, though.

Cristina: That thing is so big. It might have been that thing, like with its head pointy, like it looks like a rocket. It looks like.

Jack: But then what was this cloud? You think when this thing flies, it leaves a trail of fire.

Cristina: It's glowing. It has a glowing aura.

Jack: But the glowing aura they see, you know what it's kind of making. Maybe when it's flying, it's bigger and more luminescent.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting, Interesting. I'm over here thinking, no, those are two unrelated things.

Cristina: It could totally be the same thing.

Jack: It could totally be the same thing, but also it could totally be two unrelated thing. Or not unrelated, but, you know, it could be that this thing came in.

Cristina: A thing, but they found nothing.

Jack: They saw nothing. They got close, it disappeared. They investigated the back of the farm.

Cristina: They didn't see nothing fly away.

Jack: They saw nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. It just wasn't there.

Cristina: That's weird. It's weird that they would say, see it come, but not see it go.

Jack: Yes, there's a lot of weird.

Cristina: It's a lot of weird. Yeah. I don't know. I don't buy their story.

Jack: Weird, right?

Cristina: Yeah, it's too weird.

Jack: Strange story now because of the news reports this kind of got picked up heavily and it got a couple of agencies worried about maybe there is something going on.

Cristina: But did anyone unrelated to this specific group of people see it?

Jack: No.

Cristina: No.

Jack: But this group of people was made up of random people to begin with.

Cristina: But they were still a group of people.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Made of random. Anybody who witnessed it would have been a group of people at that point.

Cristina: Whatever. I would like to hear about a person who was not in the group that saw it.

Jack: Oh, no. I don't know. It was just like.

Cristina: Maybe the guy that owns the farm was looking in his backyard and he saw it or something. Where's that guy?

Jack: I don't even know. That's an interesting question. I don't know where the guy is, but, yeah, they were going to the backyard. They saw nothing. I don't know. It was just weird.

Cristina: And it left. So, like, it didn't leave or it.

Jack: Didn'T leave, so it just wasn't there suddenly as they got closer, which doesn't.

Cristina: Make sense because it got there.

Jack: Like, we don't know it got there. We don't know if these two things are related. Again, because we see something vanish the way it did. It didn't need to arrive the way something did.

Cristina: Yeah. Two unrelated things happened. You're saying two very strange unrelated things happened? I don't know. It's even harder to imagine that these.

Jack: Two things are unrelated until you remember what we've been looking at. Locations that have many weird things happening.

Cristina: Are you saying this location has more than just these two things happening?

Jack: Well, I'm saying that we've found the thing in which there are other things happening.

Cristina: No, I don't buy. Unless there's many things. Is there many more stories of this location or is these two the same? This one story that has two things in it? The story.

Jack: This is the story. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. I don't know if. I don't think it's really. I don't know. It seems pretty random.

Jack: Yeah. I don't know. What the thing in the sky. I don't think the thing in the sky and this other thing have anything to do with each other.

Cristina: How could they not?

Jack: They're two weird things. I don't know what to tell you, man. It disappeared in a way we know with and is familiar. But something arrived in a way we do not know and is not familiar. Unless some. Unless it was just happened to be that a fight between a freaking Elysian and a Shadow Realm creature took place there, and we Saw the Elysian arrive to the fight, and we saw the Djinn leaving it. We know who the victor was, but, you know, like, that's the only real scenario in which, like. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you, but we were clearly looking at some Shadow realm creature, and something else showed up. Maybe it was actually a meteor. That seems very likely.

Cristina: But it was slowing down, so it does not sound.

Jack: No, you're right. It's slowing down is kind of weird.

Cristina: And it was also glowing.

Jack: It was also. Well, it looked like it was on fire.

Cristina: It was. Whatever.

Jack: It was bright. It was blindingly bright.

Cristina: If you saw this thing with the aura in the sky, it probably looks.

Jack: Like it was not blindingly bright. The aura was faint. It was faintly outlined while the thing in the sky was lighting up. The sky made it look like.

Cristina: They don't have any guesses of what the two things are.

Jack: The thing in the sky was seen.

Cristina: By everybody, by the way, in the town.

Jack: Yes. Multiple people saw the light in the sky move across the sky.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The rest of the story now. But people did see that. And the logical conclusion is, I was probably just a meteor.

Cristina: But the. What they saw was in a meteor.

Jack: Exactly. Because the kids that followed it have a completely. A more complete story of events.

Cristina: Yeah. I mean, we don't know if the two things are the same, though. But we know the first thing is a meteor because it was just being weird. It was just hovering or slowing down or something.

Jack: It was being very strange.

Cristina: Do they know how big it looked, though? How big it looked when it was in the sky?

Jack: I don't know. How do you. How do you even know how close it was?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: You know, it's tricky. You see the problem, though, right? How do we have these two very unrelated events happening simultaneously? They must somehow be related, but not in the way. Not in an obvious sense.

Cristina: They obviously don't have any answers. Okay.

Jack: They obviously don't have any answers in.

Cristina: The investigation whether they discover anything else.

Jack: No, they interrogated the people. They found out that the stories lined up up until the points I've discussed. Those are the things that they all had in common, minus the details that didn't, which you've seen some of them in the images, and there was some of the movement behaviors that they would describe. But other than that, like, useless details, I've thrown away.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They didn't know what else. They really got attention. People came in, like, really, like, what the f*** is wrong? These people are making it up and they checked children to make sure. No, it's checked out.

Cristina: Okay. And that chair, who did that? Just a fan.

Jack: Yeah. So based on the descriptions, many, many, many, many iterations of this have been made. And the description of this has actually always been with NASA as a thing to look for. And I didn't know that. They have a list of random things that can't be explained, that in many instances have many witnesses that they look for in sky.

Cristina: Weird. Yeah, but what are they supposed to look for?

Jack: No, just random bright things. Something moving quickly close by that's just bright things like that.

Cristina: Just, you know, interesting.

Jack: So this is something to casually look for.

Cristina: Yeah. We don't know what this is.

Jack: We don't know what this is. Now, obviously, Mothman. You said it a thousand times. Yes, Mothman. Mothman, Mothman. And the Mothman is a definite possibility for what this could be. But I would argue it's something to be more kind of like Mothman if. How do I put it?

Cristina: If something bad happened afterwards.

Jack: No, the idea would be that Mothman is a type of thing. Actually, Mothman is related to somehow to Banshee, right?

Cristina: Oh, yeah, right.

Jack: But Banshee's always been described as a female.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Boom.

Cristina: So this could be a banshee.

Jack: Male banshee. Well, actually, searching this up, putting these descriptors plugging in everything these people talked about, Banshee is the most consistent thing that came up.

Cristina: Weird. Even though I didn't cry or anything.

Jack: Nope. But the descriptors line up clean. It's behavior, but it isn't. Yeah. The one part is that it's not showing up for omens.

Cristina: No one died recently.

Jack: No one died.

Cristina: Not even on the farm animals.

Jack: This was just a really weird indescript moment. Weird, strange, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But a banshee is definitely not it. We know what a banshee is, but there is something called a Kali, a kalaiich, a kaleech, something like that. And it's Celtic in origin, or at least where they first cataloged its existence. Recorded it. Right.

Cristina: What is it?

Jack: It's some sort of a creature that is humanoid in appearance and tends to look like an old lady, sometimes like a banshee, and often shows up in the winter, but has in other cases been shown up, has shown themselves during really vicious storms. Wandering outside in the wilderness, when animals are stampeding across like they're losing control, that's when you'll see this thing in between almost not getting touched.

Cristina: But nothing of that is happening. None of that's Happening.

Jack: None of that's happening. No, but interesting thing about this creature I'm talking about. It would seem to show up when fear is happening. Right. Storms, wilderness, when there's creatures that are unsettled. The winter when it's darker and colder. Interesting choices of appearance, huh?

Cristina: For that thing, yes.

Jack: For this random creature. Now where this creature seems to line up the most is the fact that its physical description is very similar, although its movements are not and its size is not. So that part of the description though. But it looks like it's wearing a hood. It looks like it's wearing a robe that opens into some sort of mid sized skirt type of thing. It looks like it has an aura around it. But it happens to be about five feet tall.

Cristina: Okay, that's not tall enough.

Jack: No, but the Mothman would also be in between both of those heights.

Cristina: How tall is the Mothman?

Jack: The Mothman would roughly be about 7ft.

Cristina: He's not tall enough either.

Jack: No, this thing is about 10ft. I'm thinking different heights for the same kinds of things. These things that have a tendency to only manifest and enjoy manifesting, not even breeding their own, but just rolling up when it's about to happen naturally.

Cristina: But this thing, I don't. So you're saying they got scared of the comet thing and then that created the fear that summoned this creature, this thing.

Jack: Now you're getting it. I think the paranoia of what was it? But something was there because it slowed down.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So there was something happening. The kids were confidently just going to go watch it land and hit set or blow up in the sky or something.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then they were like, what the f***?

Cristina: No, Something weird.

Jack: Yeah, they were just kids. They've probably seen this a thousand times. They're like, oh, it's media, let's go check it out. And then it stopped being a meteor before their eyes. And we're like, no, let's stop checking it out right now.

Cristina: I wish they checked it out. I want to know if it was the creature or are there two things happening? I wanna know why? Why didn't they have something?

Jack: Because people have reason why.

Cristina: Why do they?

Jack: Yeah, but I, you know, I was going down the list of possibilities of.

Cristina: Things that they were besides the Mothman.

Jack: Yeah. It definitely wasn't Jinn. It definitely wasn't a Banshee. The problem is that I do believe it's a Kalaich or whatever the crap that is, and I do believe it's a Mothman. I think it's all of the above. But what would These things be a shadow realm creature. Definitely. A hundred percent. They all fit that description for sure.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But now let's check out the Mothman then. Right, because if you look at the Mothman, he first showed up in 1966. That's mad. Years later. That's 14 years later.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Except it also happened in West Virginia.

Cristina: Really? Really.

Jack: It only happened two hours away.

Cristina: What? So it could be the same thing, but the size difference. Maybe it's baby.

Jack: Now, it's described as large, 7 to 8ft tall, winged, with red eyes, and humanoid in appearance. Now, Mothman is messed up because the Mothman is crazy. Right. He has been seen by over 200 people. There's over 200 real world reports on this same thing.

Cristina: Yes. Which makes him way more believable than this other random thing.

Jack: Except he's the same thing. Yes, but he always showed. Showed up. Always. In every instance, before and after something bad happened. He seems to be the. The closest thing to a Banshee possible. Right. Before and after something. Well, the Banshee only shows up before. The fact that he shows up after is crazy. Also, the fact that he shows up before is crazy. Also, the fact that a Banshee shows up before is crazy. Weird fact that Shadow Wyrm creatures know somehow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They can see the future somehow. Or feel it.

Cristina: Maybe they feel it. Maybe they have some sixth sense to.

Jack: Fear hect the future. Yeah, because they know to go, like sometimes months ahead.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like weird. But again, this Mothman creature does this and he shows up and he's associated with the Silver Bridge collapse, which is the craziest scenario. And many people saw. This is where he was seen by the most people. And then the bridge collapsed and hella people died. Over 200 eyewitnesses. How absurd.

Cristina: And then after that bridge, they stopped seeing him.

Jack: They stopped seeing him after the collapse of the bridge? Well, no, he's been seen on and off. That was just the most massive sighting. Okay, now the idea here would be that whatever this creature is, is a Mothman. But a Mothman doesn't make sense because that creature was described as them by female. They are genders to it. A banshee is also female. Now, we're describing these things in isolation, but the behavior seems to be on point. They're very close in similarity, and they're very close in sort of what they do. They show up before. They never seem to be involved in what's happening.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And they seem to kind of enjoy being there mostly beforehand, minus the Mothman, who shows up after it's also the only male version of this we've seen that happens to show up after as well. Although none of them seem to remain during the tragedy that's occurring.

Cristina: Well, what tragedy would have been the one for this one if this was somehow related?

Jack: For what? The.

Cristina: I don't know. It's got the monster.

Jack: The monster. You know what's interesting? I only thought about this connection right now, but the logical conclusion would have been to see if a tragedy happened in the area.

Cristina: Mm. You know, you did not do that, though, did you?

Jack: I did not, but we have the power of research.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: Maybe it's totally related.

Cristina: They all died.

Jack: They didn't all die. Had nothing to do with them. But about 40 minutes away, there was a. The local hospital that people use from that area, which. God, bro, how far? 40 minutes away to the. You at least have a clinic or some, right? Well, that's crazy. You at least have a clinic or something, bro. That's crazy. I've never heard of some like that Anyways. D***, bro. D***. How many? I guess one hospital would be enough if there's nobody between here and West Bubba, right?

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: Like, one hospital is probably still empty.

Cristina: So what happened though, anyways?

Jack: Yeah, at that hospital. Fire kills 17 people in the hospital.

Cristina: In the same day?

Jack: Or just this happened around the same time following month.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: So, yeah, maybe, I don't know, just random other events. Random thing goes through the sky, random unrelated things shows up, and then a random other thing.

Cristina: Mothman.

Jack: Why Mothman? Specifically, the Mothman is a type of thing.

Cristina: The eyes, I think, is what makes it feel Mothman.

Jack: Right, but what is the Mothman? There's no such thing as a Mothman. A moth is just an Earth side creature.

Cristina: Whatever this is. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, it's some. It should have a name.

Cristina: That's the name we gave it.

Jack: No, that's a name for a thing that's unrelated to the other two things that are in isolation, their own things.

Cristina: I cannot. Can't just call them all Mossman because they're not. Why? What do we do call them?

Jack: I don't know. We need a name for them. I'm sure we can find a name somewhere, put that they all kind of genuinely fit. But it is some sort of Shadowrum creature.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's not an animal like a Win Dingo or wetchudge.

Cristina: It's just a thing that knows when it's about to happen.

Jack: It's. There seem to be several different types of humanoid creatures, and there seem to be different types of humanoid creatures in Elfame as well. In fact, every thing that humans have ever interacted with from that side, other than unicorns, which seem to not even be from that side.

Cristina: Yeah, humanoid.

Jack: Yeah, they're all high intelligence. But I would argue that it looks like the Shadow Realm has the most. Without counting that. Like us versus Shadow Realm. But we also have a bunch of crap that we're just. The problem is we are oppressive as f***.

Cristina: I don't know. We're probably equal to the. Well, we are in the Shadow Realm where it's shadow. Where is the Shadow Realm? Shadow. So I don't know.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Look like them. They don't look like us.

Jack: We look like them. They don't. I mean. Yeah, they've been around longer, right?

Cristina: Yeah, he made us out of that.

Jack: Yeah. No, it seems that there is some now. Okay. There's originally a creature called a strix that was first written about in Greek mythology. And they described it as a bird of ill omen, often depicted as an owl or a bat like creature.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The next part is incredibly informative. And it feeds on human flesh and fear. Blood. Oh, interesting.

Cristina: Shadow Realm creature.

Jack: It stopped being one the moment I told you. What I told you.

Cristina: Blood.

Jack: The blood. It is a Shadow Realm creature, but it wasn't always a Shadow Realm creature. I think we have just found what the f*** an owl looks like when it consumes adrenochrome.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I think all these other. Keep in mind the descriptors line up and they are always giant, like weird, tall standing.

Cristina: But we never catch it feeding though.

Jack: We never catch it feeding. But we do know that owls are particularly vicious hunters.

Cristina: You think if they are bodies, they're just. They're just gone. Whatever the bodies are.

Jack: I don't know. But also like it could. Again, this is just a descriptor that the Greek have, right. Of a creature that lines up. It's a bird that shows up during bad omens. But what happens? We know that different creatures take adrenochrome. Their intelligence rises dramatically. I mean some of them, some of them don't, but. Interesting. So then what would happen with an owl? This. The fact that this thing gets so humanoid, so astoundingly humanoid. But many different bird like things are not different. They're all the same. The size is really the variation here.

Cristina: I think the arms relate to birds and that's why you said before with the arms.

Jack: A lot of people tried to debunk this and a lot of the conclusions. The problem is that One person's explanation would be broken by the other. But collectively you could kind of solve.

Cristina: Here and there, someone said birds.

Jack: Somebody thought maybe there was a bird actually standing there that got caught in trees and had crap hanging off of it. And the hands were actually just holding on to the fence.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And so what you're seeing, and it's a tall fence, so this, it's a fence to stop animals, horses from leaping over it and s***. So you got this tall a** fence and then you got a bird perch on top of it. And they're saying that now again, warped, obviously. How the h*** is this tiny little bird gonna have these giant arms sticking in front of it? But, you know, as people trying to figure out. Yeah, like, hey, what's the logical conclusion to this? Or whatever. It never got summed up. And that's why real forces came in, interrogated people and like, well, crap, maybe there is something. But the closest I could find to a name is strix.

Cristina: That's cool.

Jack: And a strix is essentially the Greek breaking down what sounds like an owl that had a drink.

Cristina: Yeah, Yeah, I think this makes sense. That could be what we're looking at in the real world.

Jack: Definitely be what we're looking at. And again, how it behaved was very owl, but only the one in the farm. Because maybe the lady leans more towards a banshee.

Cristina: What lady?

Jack: I mean, not the lady. What am I talking about?

Cristina: The Mothman.

Jack: The Mothman. Maybe the Mothman leads more towards a banshee, a male banshee. And the kiliage is more like, why.

Cristina: Do you think the Mothman is the male banshee?

Jack: Its behavior is identical.

Cristina: Yeah, like, why are you making it a male?

Jack: I guess you're making it a Mothman.

Cristina: Yes, exactly. But like, that's a dumb name. That's describing something. But like, is it a man? Can people tell that it's a man? Like, it could definitely just be a female. Yeah, it could just be a banshee.

Jack: The banshee has been described as a female. It's not an animal. Banshee. Yeah, it's a lady. It's a lady. It's always a lady. There's always something off about her. But like, physically there's something that they can't quite like. I would argue those descriptions lean into an imitation that isn't perfect, but you can't tell where it's not perfect.

Cristina: Okay. But for a Mothman, there's no way you can think it might be a lady. It's for sure a man that they're.

Jack: Looking at if the mothman has been described as having broaden shoulders. But that could still be a female. Anyways, this is pretty much all I've got.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I think the thing that happened at the farm was we were looking at shadow room creatures. A Shadow Realm creature. I have no. I. I think it was a meteor and a shadow room creature. And maybe the owl happened to intersect and you see both happening simultaneously. The fear that they felt or excitement. I don't know. It was excitement.

Cristina: Meteor is too weird to think that that was an actual.

Jack: I know something weird did happen, but I didn't. I looked. I couldn't find anything. It kind of just looks like it was a meteor. Until they're just. Maybe they were met their minds mess with them. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That there was a tragedy did happen eventually.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I don't know. It's weird.

Cristina: Maybe the thing made it see things. Made them see things. Maybe they. It was around.

Jack: It's a Pokemon. It's not that. Well, it's using psychic on them.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. And that's why. That explains the head turning. But it's not turning.

Jack: Because that is interesting. It's causing illusions.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It made them see the thing in the sky and follow the thing in the sky. Which brought the curiosity. Oh. Luring them to get. Maybe it was trying to feed.

Cristina: Maybe it was.

Jack: Oh, maybe they just saved themselves by actually getting that National Guard. Making it too bright. And that was like. No. Because the fear left. Light came. Fear left. They were confident suddenly.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: You know. That they were willing to walk forward onto it. The light made them safe. Which explains why light has always been the. If you can see, it's not the unknown. Right. And sort of like you feel better if you can see.

Cristina: It might be saving these people.

Jack: Light literally saves from the Shadow Realm creatures. I've never thought about how logical that is and why we would call them Shadow Realm creatures then. Because if there's more light, there's less fear. Because you understand your surroundings better.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's natural fear when you don't know your surroundings.

Cristina: And that's why all those Clinton stories. Yeah.

Jack: Because you don't know your surroundings. Duh. Night is the most obvious time for anything from the shadow realm to get through. Because fear just kind of goes up the more the unknown comes up.

Cristina: Perfect.

Jack: Duh. Oh man. It was so obvious.

Cristina: Very.

Jack: Hermes always knew. He's like. It's always been in front of you. You just gotta think about it, right, bro?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And we're like, so slow. We're so behind. We try so much. We're so behind. But little by little, every new location, we learn a little something new.

Cristina: I think we did. I don't know what it was, but we learned something.

Jack: We learned that light actually stops problems to some degree.

Cristina: It helps.

Jack: It helps against shadow creatures because it illuminates.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And thus we probably nickname them in return, the shadow creatures.

Cristina: It makes perfect sense.

Jack: Anyways, that's all we have. If you guys have anything to talk about, to tell us, any information you know about anything we discuss, let us know. But also challenge us to relate. Anything. Yes, challenge us. I dare you. And you can do that at our socials, at just Convopod. That's on Tick Tock, on Instagram, on Facebook, on X, everywhere.

+Transcript

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And so we do that.

Cristina: Do that every week.

Jack: We do that every week. We do that all the time. And so, you know, in the last couple of years, we've gotten way informed on a lot of sort of esoteric and stoic knowledge. Things hidden, you know, the, the secret scriptures and the secret texts and lost civilization things, and cross referencing information that suggested so many things. Anybody who's been following knows what we're talking about. So we've used this knowledge recently because it looks like we were digging into an infinite hole.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So let's use the knowledge instead of continuing to dig the infinite hole and apply it to other places that have very similar conditions. And so we've started to unravel things. And so last week we're digging a new hole. No, we're using the information we have from the hole to compare to other things and be like, oh, this looks like this over here and it looks like that over there. Okay, no more hole digging until something here informs us on which tool to go continue digging with. But point being that we were last week kind of going through some of the information that we were not talking about. But you know, we in the past have come across Clinton Road, which is a really odd place. And it had a lot of similarities to some of the things that we've recently uncovered. We've seen that we can find residue of high energy technology and it usually takes the form of space time alterations and odd anomalies. So looking for things like this informs us. And so two weeks ago we looked at a scenario that was heftily informed. I believe that was a skin walk around.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then before that again, we had another instance, some creepy mansion.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: The mansion. Yes. And directly after the Skinwalker Ranch, we did Stonehenge. All which have the same things. And what we find is the same things. Gateways and distortions and a lot of quote, ghosts.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So last week we go to the place we know has all of these things happening simultaneously on top of each other. And like I said, I broke it into three sections because there was absolutely too much happening in this one place and.

Cristina: Ridiculous amount.

Jack: Yes, too much. And for anybody who's not familiar, many, many, many years ago, maybe like four or five Years ago, we dove into the experience me and two friends had there, three friends. Of course, we couldn't get a contact with them, but we brought to them on the show. We talked to them and everything about how strange that place was. Everybody had different stories. Whatever. You guys can go look at it. It's Clinton Road. I think it was Halloween episode. It was like three episodes long or whatever. And last week, we were just going over anything that we would identify as an echo, a sort of replay of a different moment that is not interactable necessarily, but rather something that's happening but not now.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there was a lot, some things of which were very important that we need to look at in the future. But that was only one of three sections I'd made because that was just the echoes. This week, I would like us to dive into the things that do respond to people. Not that just play on a loop, but the things in Clinton Road that seem to not be an echo, that seem to actually be a thing of some sort.

Cristina: Like a conscience thing.

Jack: Something thinking. Yeah, something responsive. Something maybe dangerous, maybe not.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But that can respond. That seems to be moving with intention as opposed to a replay of a moment.

Cristina: Horrifying.

Jack: So next to the word phantoms, I've put conscious. I've put thinking intentional entities that are non human and probably could be from a different realm. I'm assuming the shadow realm, because Elfame or any higher level might be unlikely.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So let's unpack some of these details. This is a little bit shorter than the echoes of which there were many. This is still pretty long, but it was just a couple shorter. So let's start by going into the pickup truck. This is probably the most known thing on this road. There's literally movies that have taken this concept and rolled with it. And it's just some menacing black pickup truck that allegedly chases drivers at night, only vanishing when there's another car coming towards them or when they are successfully in something faster. And funny enough, it faster is very exact thing, because faster is conditional. People have been in supercars running down the street, and this pickup keeps up.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: That's weird. But if this pickup truck isn't physically here, if this pickup truck is in a different space where whatever is there knows how to manipulate the sort of distortion to cover ground faster, then it would look like you have this sort of ghost truck following you at an impossibly fast speed. But maybe on their side, it's normal speed, but they know how to move in such a way that over here we move fast.

Cristina: How do we know this isn't an echo? What makes it different?

Jack: Because it does interact with people. This is where the speed becomes very important because the vanishing and the fact that it's on the road. Very interesting here. Now it has moved around cars. Oh, it has moved around cars. It has diverted to hit cars. Somebody jumps off the road and it'll jump off the road behind them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's very, very different than something on replay. Now, what's weird about this place is that it seems to happen at exactly between four and six miles, nowhere outside that range, which means there is a particular heavy amount of distortion that somebody's abusing there, I suspect, at least.

Cristina: Yes, but not the person driving the truck. They're just driving their truck.

Jack: They're not. I think that there's just a nice little fold.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of the two realms here. And he's just on his end, but he can clearly see because people from the shadow realm can just see us or whatever the f***. I have no idea how that works. Maybe it's the same that, like, as fear manifests, we start showing up over there more and they start showing up over here more, and so the lines start to blur.

Cristina: It could. Like, we don't have any proof of that. But why can't it be that.

Jack: Yeah, it'd be weird if it was just one way in this direction.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But then it's. Yeah, I guess it would. I guess the argument would be that it's not that they're coming over here, but the veil is thinning.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so we're sort of coming closer together in general.

Cristina: That could be it. We don't know.

Jack: Yeah, because we've always thought about it like, oh, the people from the shadow realm with fear start coming this way, but, like.

Cristina: Because it seems easier for them for it to be that way.

Jack: Yeah. But when we think about it, if they aren't actually over here, how are they seeing us? Yes, we're seeing them because they're phasing over here. But are they seeing themselves over there and themselves over here? That can't. That doesn't. Make sense.

Cristina: That doesn't make sense.

Jack: No, they're probably just seeing us start to fade in over there, and then they start to prey on us.

Cristina: Yes. Yep.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: That could be. That could be. I know there's ways in and out, but there's this other thing of just, like we're somehow in between both.

Jack: Yes. We're somehow at all times, well connected enough. And it's. It's a dial Right. You could turn it and sort of enhance how much of the entanglement is how much is crossed in that moment.

Cristina: How's that happening? But, yeah, I think that might be what's happening.

Jack: And in the case of this truck, I think that 4 to 6 mile range is a particularly dense area, which brings up an interesting point. Maybe this is a focal point of one of the major events that took.

Cristina: Place here in the future. Maybe. Question, I believe. Yeah.

Jack: Because there's. We look back and we find so little. We look. Well, we can't look forward. But the fact that, again, it's possible that a spacetime distortion from the future ruins the past, because that's how it works. It's space time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And this distortion is huge here. But also the logic could be that it's a long, long street with no lights.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Maybe people start to panic around the same distance.

Cristina: I wonder. I wonder what it is. I wonder if we'll find a glimpse of what really happens in the future, though, through this conversation. Maybe eventually, like. Because the weird thing that happens there may even be from the shadow realm. Because we know they do experiments like we do. They do experiments here, but they also do experiments there. So what if this is just a spot where both sides were doing experiments?

Jack: Doesn't even have to be both sides doing experiments, because there's many instances just this side doing experiments, and that can mess it up. So why wouldn't it be that only on that side and cause the same thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Especially after we know that it's almost like we are in the same space, but somehow a barrier was built to divide them. There's a wall that was put in between this realm and that realm. There isn't. The word realm ceases to lose meaning when we back up far enough because, well, this is just, you know, that room. And then he put walls around that room and called it Earth Realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's hard for us to get out the room, but we can.

Cristina: Yeah. It is up or down.

Jack: That's how it seems to be in every direction. Yeah. Which. It's weird, but this kind of really leans into the flatter theory. Right. Of like, well, they walled us in, but they're really out there. There's more.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I mean, weirdly enough, that's kind of on the nose, but about the wrong thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But, yeah, this truck is responsive. It is responsive. It chases people. My idea is 10 miles Clinton Road, 4 to 6 miles. But what does that mean? That means if I enter from north, four miles in. If I enter from south, four miles in. It's the same distance either way. It could just be the people within. Like, as you start getting more and more. You start getting more panicking, more paranoid. And so in the middle is where people are the most freaked out. Which would make sense that enough people freaked out consistently going through at that level of panic. More and more and more about that truck.

Cristina: Also will be pushing that too.

Jack: Not even hearing about the truck, but hearing about all the other things that happen here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then you get to this part, and maybe this guy is just some dude who lives on the other side, but in this part of it. And maybe he is a bad guy.

Cristina: Or he just wants that fear. Like, it's not really about murdering anyone. It's just like he knows he hasn't done.

Jack: Yes. That's another thing I found interesting. So the truck does show up. The truck chases people. But I made sure to mention the weirdest part about this, which is right before he does anything, he always disappears.

Cristina: Yeah. He's about to want it. And then he goes. Yeah.

Jack: He'll jump on the lane you're in from far ahead and drive straight towards you and drive straight at you and then just f****** veer off into the woods and disappear.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like he's f****** with you. He's f****** with you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Whoever that is, just f****** with you. He's not trying to kill you. That's the weirdest part. But it's so intentional. It's like he's f****** with you legitimately in an impossibly fast pickup truck that looks like a moving shadow.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder if it's possible. It's. He was a human who ended up over there. Fascinating, because there are those cases and.

Jack: There'S hella thin places around here. Could just be slipping in and falling on the other side.

Cristina: Yeah. He just knows what he needs. He's probably was hooked on it. Adrenochrome when he was alive and, you know, died.

Jack: Which then goes back to all the. That's here. There's been cults and there's been sacrifices, and there's been a lot of.

Cristina: Yeah, a lot of adrenal chrome and stuff going on.

Jack: So anytime we find something weird, this is the thing. Right. We realize in the beginning of our journey, adrenochrome is everywhere. Everybody's doing adrenochrome and that's what's up.

Cristina: Yes. But then when those people die, it's even worse.

Jack: It's even worse because they lose their minds on the other side or they. In the Fear of knowing they're gonna lose their mind. They getting desperate to get back over here and get adrenochrome. So.

Cristina: So it could just be one of those people.

Jack: Could definitely be. And as long as he sustains the fear, he doesn't need the blood. Yeah, that could totally make sense. He has to. He has to cultivate it over and over and over. And it's like, I'm stuck over here, but I'm. I'm not gonna go crazy. I refuse. And I'm gonna just with people every day if I have to.

Cristina: Could be. It's really easy for him.

Jack: He's gonna get us fixed. He needs it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If it's a problem, people up, they. They go in and they don't realize how bad this really is. Now, the next one is children. This one is very specific. Apparitions of children playing on the roadside who vanish upon approach but can be seen waving at passersby. Oh, I thought echo when I was first looking at the mentions of this. And then I started looking deeper in, and it's like some people have these kids get excited, get up, look at them, start running towards them and disappear.

Cristina: It's hard to tell, though, between echo and not echo. It's really, really.

Jack: It is absolutely not the moment something is responsive. The fact that somebody stood there and then they started waving as opposed to. They're just waving at nothing.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The echo would be doing the action regardless. It's not responding to an environment. It's not there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anything responsive cannot be an echo by default. This is the easiest distinction to make. It's not difficult.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It will be responsive. If it's not. If you stand in front of it and you're like, hey. And it's like looking right through you and doesn't notice and walks right through you, and that's an echo. It doesn't realize you're present. But these kids see a car drive by. People see the kids play. They think ghost. The kids see the car. The kids, excited, get up and wave. What's weird about this is that they're not trying to get to the street. They're not trying to get to the street. They're just aware of the cars passing by, and so they wave.

Cristina: That's so weird.

Jack: Like, they know they can't make it.

Cristina: How many children is.

Jack: It varies.

Cristina: It varies.

Jack: But it's like they know they can't get to the street. There's an awareness of, oh, it's another car coming. How there's another weird thing from the.

Cristina: Other side that is weird. But is there they just look like normal children, too?

Jack: It's unclear. Small people.

Cristina: Small people.

Jack: Small people that appear to be children playing. Yeah, it's Clinton Road. Nothing is a specific description. It's night. Always.

Cristina: It's always night. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. It's impossible. Any clear description you want, you will not get. Yeah, this is Clinton Road at night, every time. And, like, kids that's in the woods, like, how detailed can you get?

Cristina: That is so creepy.

Jack: Yeah. But the fact that they know you're there, they'll just be minding their business. A car rolls by, somebody. Oh, kids. And then the kids and like, oh, my God, let's just keep going. But ultimately, the kids notice cars, but.

Cristina: If you stop, they would just be gone.

Jack: No, if they run towards you, there's like a barrier that they can't make it past because they vanish.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Oh, that's even scarier. Oh, my gosh. They run towards you and then just.

Jack: Yeah. So my idea would be that unlike visual thin places that we can see through and look to a different time or an echo that's just a fold repeating. I think this would be a literal. Not just thin places towards the past, but thin places towards the shadow realm. And, like, they can see through, but it's bubbles that they can't get through. Weirdly enough, same as us thousand years ago, looking at the sky and seeing a plane. And it's just because on the other side of the bubble, a plane went in front of it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So there must be in front of this playground or whatever, a thin place just at the right angle that you can see it for maybe a hundred feet or so into the other side, and they can see you back and then you can interact, but beyond a certain angle, you can't. That's what it seems to me. Because they are responsive. They look in the wave, excited to see, and then they're just not there suddenly. But only do it when there's somebody you don't arrive and they're already in the motion. They're always awesome. Kids saw me and they came and they were coming to say hi, and they just not there suddenly. Yeah, it's pretty up.

Cristina: That's. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I guess that there's children on that side. Why not?

Jack: Why wouldn't there be? They're just people. Jin are just people.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: But I think this falls into something from the shadow room. The fact that they see the cars and they get excited. They're just kids. They're not trying to f*** with people. The way that pickup is they're really genuinely just kids or seems to be to people.

Cristina: But that's. That's it.

Jack: Yeah. They seem childish. The next one gets to more personal areas for me, which is disembodied voices, whispering voices heard in the woods, often leading people to feel as though they're being watched or followed.

Cristina: This is one that they say your name. We heard we were talking about one before on the last episode about someone saying your name.

Jack: This is unrelated to anything from last episode. These are all new things.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. This is just voices.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And these voices seem to be following people and it makes people feel like they're being watched. But mainly is that they're being followed because the voices are continuously behind them or next to them, around them. The voices tend to be unclear, but the voices seem like they're speaking a language. But it's also very, very off putting and very disturbing. The sort of guttural sounds that get made. It sounds like language, but like a demon is talking to people. It's the best way that people have described it. I would argue that we're hearing Jin language.

Cristina: Okay. Like shadow realm.

Jack: Yeah. And like it just sounds up to us because we've never discussed what it would sound like to speak in a place that's not physical. You don't have. You don't have vocal cords or anything.

Cristina: But they got. I would assume they have some kind of language because we do hear about people who do go over there and communicate with them.

Jack: And here's another thing. If I don't understand. I was thinking about this and just because I said this, it made me think about it again. I don't understand how it is that all the old text we find describes the shadow realm as a non physical place. But physical beings can so easily traverse. But also adrenochrome makes you traverse. I don't understand that problem. Because you have to stop being physical to get there with adrenochrome. But you can. Like the judge just walked in.

Cristina: Well, we don't know his life. What if he had Jesse? He had adrenal crown before.

Jack: How do you get back out? How does anybody go in and out? How do you get your body into a non physical place and then walk out still physical. Your body doesn't just dissolve and disappear and you can't ever come back. That doesn't make sense. There's some interpretation that's wrong there. Because that is a conflict of description is contradicting.

Cristina: It's a paradox.

Jack: You can't both be physical on the other side and not be physical on the other side. On the flip side, we do discuss ourselves as physical and non physical. There is a soul version of me that's controlling my body and then there's the body that the soul is controlling. There's the physical and the metaphysical simultaneously. But then that means that all the descriptions they have of the other side are f****** stupid because it's just this. But over there. Well, it's a non physical place. Your souls and stuff. It's like. You mean like we have over here?

Cristina: But is our body going in there? Our body's falling asleep and then we go in there. Like how does that.

Jack: I don't know. How would the Judge enter on earth realm on this side, take a shortcut in there and then pop out somewhere else? His body then just flatline over here and stay there unconscious, and then teleport to the other side of Earth?

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: Do you see the problem? There are active contradictions. And how this is described. There's something we don't understand necessarily because it's described as such a physical place. And you need adrenochrome to have a certain state. But also, let's think about adrenochrome. It's a physical thing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why would it take you somewhere non physical?

Cristina: It has to be just physical in a different way. It's not non physical. It's just.

Jack: Yeah, there's something we're not grasping about it.

Cristina: Yeah, but you need. You need it still to get there and somehow.

Jack: Yes, yes. Even with a gate, you cannot enter the shadow realm unless you've had adrenochrome. We thought adrenochrome meant only after you die. But then later we find out some people can actually just walk in every time except the Judge. That we don't know for a fact. But every other time required adrenochrome. So it's a physical place that requires that no matter what, something about the adrenochrome allows your body to adapt to the conditions of the shadow realm. I don't think it's not a physical place. I think they were focusing on the descriptions of what adrenochrome is doing in order to describe what the place is. Yeah, I think that's the reality of the matter. I don't think it's not a physical place. I think it's a different realm. Obviously it's a different space that requires some alteration physically that is different than what we consider normal on the side. And so in their attempt to describe that, it sounds like you're talking about something non physical.

Cristina: But I don't think you actually. You don't need adrenochrome because necromancers don't. They just need a state of mind. They. They can do it. Yes, they can. Just.

Jack: But there's also heavy understanding. And they have stones that are made of the same thing.

Cristina: They have the stones to do it.

Jack: They have the stones to do it. And it's made of the same thing that adrenochrome is. It's just not in their body. Now this is an interesting point you bring because Adrian, necromancers don't need to consume it yet their body can still exist in the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now let's take a step back because we don't have an instance of a necromancer in the Shadow Realm that we've ever read. We just know it says they can. But the only time we have them actually traversing instead of giving somebody the way to is through Elfhame. And we don't even know if they physically stand in Elfame as opposed to use Elfame to cut through.

Cristina: That's exactly what it seems like.

Jack: Yeah. Which means they're not entering the Shadow Realm either.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Because we've never had a single discussion that says they entered the Shadow Realm. They just know how to get there. Which presumably means they know how to navigate the Shadow Realm even if they don't enter the Shadow Realm as a shortcut. Another shortcut. They can get anywhere, anytime, however they want.

Cristina: Yeah. That's so weird though. What is that? What?

Jack: Unless Elfame and the Shadow Realm are physical, which seems to be the case too. I don't know. It's so many contradictions there. Yes, but maybe if it. If it's not a different layer and it all is seamless, just with barriers like flat earth. A circle within a circle within a circle. If that's the case, then a necromancer literally enters the Shadow Realm. And a necromancer literally enters all fame.

Cristina: But as far as we know, that doesn't happen. Really?

Jack: We don't have a mention of either. Yeah, I've never seen a mention of either of those scenarios happening.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we don't even have Santa Claus entering the Shadow Room.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Nothing.

Cristina: Jesus. Entering the Shadow Realm after he died. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's.

Jack: The rules feel consistent. There is consistency. He didn't enter. He exited. He died. To get there.

Cristina: He died. He went to their prison, kidnapped a bunch of them, got some stones.

Jack: People over here thought it was part of their plan. To get rid of Jesus. Little did they know, Jesus planned every part of it. He needed to get over there.

Cristina: Yes, Very weird.

Jack: But then the transition state, I think is important, which then brings up a different problem. Did Hermes have to die? Because one very important thing we have to remember about necromancers is what are they most known for? Relating to the dead. The dead and death.

Cristina: That is interesting.

Jack: That is very interesting.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And Jesus is an example of somebody who didn't touch the other side until he died.

Cristina: So do they have to die?

Jack: Do they all have to?

Cristina: I think so, because Santa Claus, obviously that happened to him. That's why we have this Nicholas, who's so different from Sam. There was some metamorphosis, something that happened there, obviously.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: I don't know about Patrick.

Jack: I don't. I don't know about that. But he's also loosely the bottom tier of this.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Meanwhile, Merlin has several stories of his end.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah, yeah, this is making sense. Yeah.

Jack: So all necromancers must. Or at least it seems to be, death is part of the process.

Cristina: I think so. I think so.

Jack: Mm.

Cristina: It makes sense.

Jack: Which means Hermes probably consumed adrenochrome, but in a scientific correct way that keeps him in control just so he can cross over to the other side.

Cristina: Actually, yeah, I think that's right. I think they had to die.

Jack: I think he had to die. We might not have the text, but we have Jesus the only example of a necromancer entering the shadow realm and he had to die to get there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If it was so easy and it was so simple and you could just get there, why do you need to die?

Cristina: That doesn't make sense. Is the Judge.

Jack: Judge doesn't make sense. How do you get in?

Cristina: Unless he was a living dead person and just didn't know it.

Jack: Interest. So in any case, the idea is we have to find Inanna's brother and see what. We gotta really dive into him and.

Cristina: Find out what the stories they have about him does.

Jack: Can we find that the Judge has died? That's the reality of the matter. Can we find if the Judge has died?

Cristina: I think. I think we will find. Because if he has one weird story, I'm sure there's other weird stories he's involved in.

Jack: But then that brings up a really, really, really exaggeratedly interesting question that we didn't cross at any moment.

Cristina: What's that?

Jack: The Judge is the third necromancer. Fourth.

Cristina: Fourth Jesus?

Jack: No, he's like fifth Jesus, Merlin, Santa Patrick, the Judge, and Hermes number six.

Cristina: Oh, Hermes. Yeah.

Jack: Six necromancers in all of history.

Cristina: I would think so. I think so. I think we're on to something.

Jack: So. So then the question is, is the judge a necromancer?

Cristina: He might be even one of them. Like, we don't know. They all live such long lives.

Jack: I know. It's so weird, bro. It's so weird. There's some timeline distortions in this whole narrative. That's f*****. Some people go millions, some people go hundreds of thousands.

Cristina: So many different lies. We know Jesus had so many lives. Like, he wasn't just the Jesus in that place, but he was the whatever in that other place and the whatever in that other place.

Jack: Yeah, but this lives is an exaggeration because we're talking about.

Cristina: No, he was still living one life.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like not even that far apart. We're talking like he was here a couple of months. He was there a couple.

Cristina: Yes, but like that. They all seem to have that type of thing of like, I'm gonna pretend to be this person over there and I don't think.

Jack: I don't. The. The dialogue you're using, I think is incorrect. I don't think it's pretending. I think we're talking about him going to different places where people speak different languages and they're using their interpretation of what his name would be.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so he lands at a different name and they're using their words to describe him, which is why the words aren't exactly the same, but they're so similar. If we were to paint the picture, he would look the same.

Cristina: Yeah. So this guy could just be someone else that we've met before and we just don't know it.

Jack: Interesting, interesting, interesting. You believe the judge could just be one of these other guys?

Cristina: Like, who knows? Because it's so rare that it would happen. To imagine that this is just another one, it's harder to believe.

Jack: Yeah. But it's also equally hard to believe. Yeah. It's like to imagine he's another one is really hard. And to imagine he's some casual who just enters the shadow realm is even more. Yes. Now here's something that we do have to look at though, because now thinking about it, he can't be a necromancer. He can't be. At least not in a way he's aware of, because he was shocked by the entrance. He had discovered it and was like, what the f***? And then he told his sister and he was like, it's the craziest thing. And she was like, show me. And then that's how they found the kingdom on the other side. He, you know, he became homies as he went through.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So he wasn't a necromancer, at least knowingly. If he was, he maybe stumbled upon a process or something.

Cristina: Probably some story. There's other things, though, that they rarely talk about. Like the plants and the app, the fruits and, you know, things like that.

Jack: There are other ways.

Cristina: So rare. But, like, humans don't interact.

Jack: Like, really.

Cristina: Yes. Like, he might have found one of those things.

Jack: You're totally right. So the science is very likely the fruit hard. You gotta go to the shadow room to do it.

Cristina: Yeah. But, like, there are things that exists that just don't get talked about because.

Jack: Like, plants are on this side and.

Cristina: They'Re, like, heavily guarded. So if he stumbled upon it.

Jack: Not the flower. The flower wasn't. The flower is just a flower.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The flower was not heavily guarded. In fact, the mention we got of it was just somebody figured out that this could do that.

Cristina: Yeah. So, like, he could.

Jack: Maybe that's flowers in more places, but we can't tell it apart from something else. Oh, it's just a flower. But if we saw it and we knew what it was, we can consume it and without. Because we know that adrenochrome is the addictive one. But there are other things. Adrenochrome comes in three parts. It's ichor, it's ambrosia, and it's the literal liquid of nectar. Those are the three states. What is it? Ambrosia is the little organs that are adrenochrome dense. And then there is the. What is ambrosia? There is ichor, which is distilled. It's after it's been consumed. Yeah, it's the blood. I mean, they're all blood, but after it's been distilled, somebody consumed adrenochrome. And now you take the blood of a person who's consumed adrenochrome, and it sort of went through a process.

Cristina: Vampirism.

Jack: And then there is the. Not ambrosia. Nectar, which is just liquid. It's drinking the blood. It's just drinking the blood. It's Jesus's preferred form. But although Jesus is very known for both. He likes ambrosia, he likes to consume the individual, and he likes to drink their blood, too.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or at least he's discovered is the most efficient combination. It doesn't look like he did ichor, but it looks like he gave people ichor.

Cristina: Yes. He loved sharing it.

Jack: Yes. Now, interesting point. The descriptions. I didn't think about this until right now. The descriptions that we went through about ichor, ambrosia and nectar make it seem like ichor is the valuable one because people who are normal can take it and die. It's super strong. But Jesus was giving people ick. Ichor, not adrenochrome or ambrosia. He was giving himself.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: To them, which is ichor. Even if it's his flesh, that would look like ambrosia. No, he had adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even if it's his blood that you would call nectar. No, he had adrenochrome. Everything he's given you is actually ichor.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Nobody's as powerful as Jesus. The combination of ambrosia and nectar is stronger than the distilled ichor, which is both of them together. And he was giving his blood as high up on the totem pole as you can get. And still ichor was not as good. Is it because who he is, he can just do it with these two and be as powerful and like somebody having something stronger can't catch up? Or is it that there is an actual better combination to be had with ichor and. Well, I mean, with nectar and ambrosia, then there is to be had with ichor. And he knows the trick to it.

Cristina: He probably knows the trick to it.

Jack: Well, he's also a unique being. Why wouldn't it be the other? Why wouldn't it be that? Just. It doesn't matter what anybody else consumes. He's always going to be spirit.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You know my point?

Cristina: We don't know what he is is very unique. Yeah.

Jack: Very special. So, yeah, just, you know, food for thought. Okay, next on the list, we have. It's weird about those disembodied voices, by the way.

Cristina: So you heard those disembodied verses.

Jack: Yeah, we heard children and we heard voices. I never saw the kids. But you remember we were hearing kids laugh.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: By the way, important detail. This just so happens to be on the road to paradise.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which is where we heard the kids.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's why I was saying that this is, like, personal.

Cristina: Yeah, that's.

Jack: This is right on the road to paradise, where this has been reported, which is where we were when we heard the kids laughing. Well, first we heard the laughter and we couldn't make it out. And then we pulled on the side where the car just stopped turning on, and then we just started hearing.

Cristina: What is the car turning up or is that something else? I will talk about in the future.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. That was a weird one. I looked when. Because of hearing the disembodied voices. It made me think about the car turning off. And then I was like, when has this happened? And there aren't mentions of this anywhere. This is just a weird thing that happened. It could have just been that our car was s*******. That was weird time. It was a weird timing. Yes, but, like, what weird timing?

Cristina: What we are timing, I don't understand.

Jack: Like, I can't explain it. But then the other thing is, let's. Let's have a quick. Maybe we're not gonna make it to the end of this. And this part alone is gonna be too. But we have to address this next point because I think I'm about to say something that's gonna make a lot of sense here. We hear the kids laugh. We hear laughter. We get on the dirt road. We pull up to the side just to scare the guys, lower the windows. We start to hear kids actually laughing. We're like, oh, f***. Like we were just f****** around, bros. F*** this. We put the windows up, trying to turn the car on. Wasn't turning on. We finally get the car on and we drive into paradise. Do you remember what happens next?

Cristina: You see a sign.

Jack: Yeah. Deaf children.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then the. The. The F is slashed and a D is put over it.

Cristina: The children.

Jack: Yeah, but that's not even the important part. What happens in paradise?

Cristina: That's all I remember.

Jack: You don't remember what happens when we drive into paradise?

Cristina: You hear more children. No.

Jack: We tried to get out of paradise and we can't.

Cristina: Oh, yes. I don't know. Okay. Yeah. I don't know.

Jack: It's like you never remember anything I needed to remember. Not once. It's horrible. But we enter paradise and then we can't get out of paradise. Paradise is where we hear children. Paradise is where we hear laughter. Paradise is where the dead children sign is. Where did we enter when we went to paradise?

Cristina: Where did you enter? Some type of loop. Some type of time thing.

Jack: What else looks like a physical place on this side and is not supposed to be because it's a jumbled mess that somebody on this side wouldn't be able to navigate.

Cristina: I know I should know. I don't know.

Jack: I don't understand. What happens in your mind? Obviously the shadow realm, girl. It's the only thing that looks like a physical. I'm gonna just stop trying to get you guessing. It doesn't work ever. I just got to Tell you, showing you doesn't work. The shadow realm, like everything, its description is literally a physical earth place that looks like a jumbled mess of an example of a physical earth place. I don't know. I got to explain this.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is what it is. And we enter, we see distortions, we hear distortions and turning. Or we drove straight. We turn around and we're trying to drive straight out and the exit's gone weird. That sounds like the shadow realm. Now how the f*** would we have entered? Second, it looked absolutely normal to us. So could it have been?

Cristina: It could just be the whole veil example thing of like you're just. You're seeing it, but you're not actually in it. Like they're seeing you and you're. They're not actually there.

Jack: Then the straight line would have gotten us out.

Cristina: There must have been something messing with you as well. Like an actual thing.

Jack: Right. And how is it gonna change the shadow realm structure or our. How is it gonna change the physical space we're in?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: There's a huge issue right there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We go in, yeah, like three blocks in, do a 180, no turns, drive the same path we got there through. See? None of the same s***. And the f****** dirt road's gone.

Cristina: I don't know. Some of them have abilities. Maybe it was messing with you guys.

Jack: And we take hella turns through paradise. When we took no turns, we take mad turns in paradise trying to find our way out. And somewhere in a different corner entirely, we find a dirt road again. And then we find our way out after like 20 minutes of doing circles when we had only gone in a straight line, turned around, tried to do the same straight line back and just dead end, no road. So what was that? I've thought about that following some of this research, and I'm like, man, this.

Cristina: Isn'T match up with anything.

Jack: Doesn't match with anything. This is easily the shadow realm. Minus the fact that it couldn't be. Because how the f***. Unless these descriptions of the shadow realm, we are taking them too literally. And it's not a non physical place. We did see a jumbled mess of something we had just looked at that looked normal.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We saw the same place jumbled up.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Nothing else changed except we couldn't navigate it. And it seemed bigger after we'd gone in.

Cristina: Soon as you got scared, as soon as the car. As the kid, children and the car.

Jack: As soon as it all. Yes, we fell into something. Right.

Cristina: Fear happened. This really overwhelming fear probably happened at that moment for all.

Jack: From all four of us at the same time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then we panic, go on the road, and then we slip in. But then the argument would be, you don't need adrenochrome and Jesus did. There's something wrong here. There's a contradiction still going on.

Cristina: Because I don't think you're really in it, though.

Jack: I don't think so either. So then. Okay, so then what you're talking about might be the logical path that maybe even the judge didn't.

Cristina: Yeah, he saw. He saw a glimpse of it, or they.

Jack: He was literally interacting with people on the other side. And he met Ixchel, which then came out and went to Maya. They were literally something is. But we're onto something now because if we. You're totally right. All of this followed the fear. Let's recount the story. We drive in first. We see the guy in the robe, a black guy essentially walking around in a KKK robe. Weirdest sight ever. Okay. With a machete or a shotgun. Nobody was clear on which one he was holding. Everybody had a different story. We get far enough, we see the deer cut open. Okay. Panic, you know, Everybody like, what the f***? Yeah, we get far enough, we hear the laughter. We try to scare the guys, end up scaring ourselves because we hear the kids. We take the dirt road and suddenly the s*** spins out of control and we're nowhere. But we're everywhere. Because the one road we took disappeared and now we're just in this mess and we can't get out. And then the road showed up somewhere else entirely. Maybe you're right and we're just seeing it because again, it doesn't make sense that they could see us and we can't see them. I think it's a notch where the more you turn it, the more both sides are close together. Not one side to this side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we're slowly more and more seeing.

Cristina: But you're not physically there. I'm not physically there seeing.

Jack: Now, in this instance, there is an interesting. This contradiction could then be resolved because when they're talking about the shadow or on being a non physical place, they are talking about getting there non physically through fear, through these other means that allows you to interact with that space without entering that space.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, okay. Yes.

Jack: And then there's a way to actually enter and be in the space which requires totally different means. In this scenario now we can apply the things that we didn't mention about necromancers. What are they really good at? Even if they don't cross. They're good at bridging communication. They're good at bringing things from that side over. They're good at interacting with things on that side, even if they don't go in. So they know how to turn the dial that allows them to f*** with things on that side without being on that side, which I would argue is stronger, more overpowered than having to be on that side. Additionally, if you have a Philosopher's Stone that has the ability to violate those rules, could you, in theory, use the Philosopher's Stone to make a sort of external shell that would allow you to enter without falling apart? Hence their ability to traverse and not be simultaneously. Like a suit made of. Think of Green Lantern puts the ring on and a green energy goes over his body. And now he can manipulate this energy. What if what's happening that's happens with the Philosopher's Stone? And I could use the Philosopher's Stone, create this energy around me, and just slip into the Shadow Realm without needing adrenochrome. Without the energy, I would just die over there or pop up over here, but I can literally be there without consuming adrenochrome. Now, Jesus didn't have Philosopher's stones. He went to acquire them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now we have a reason why he needs to die.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Maybe he didn't know how to make it. As overpowered as he is, he went to acquire them. Different.

Cristina: That's so weird that he didn't know how to. Because he knew how to make the Gates. The person who taught him how to make the Gates would know how to make it. Make a philosopher stone. Yeah, well, maybe Jesus wasn't into having to mass murder people.

Jack: Yeah. And he knew these things already exist. Let them kill me and I'll go get the stones, because I'm gonna be fine.

Cristina: Yeah. Mm. He just. He's just different.

Jack: He's just different. He. Look, he. His. Everybody who's ever talked about him said the same thing. He was preaching kindness the whole time. Regardless of what they saw him do or how they saw him do it. A lot of people were like, he did some pretty diabolical looking s***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But attached to that, did he hurt anybody? Well, no, he did a bunch of diabolical s***. But he kind of just told us all to be kind to each other.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like fair.

Cristina: He's making an army. And his army aren't being forced to be his army. They're choosing to be his army. Whether it's from the Shadow Realm or it's us humans.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And you're just, we're on his side. They're on his side.

Jack: I mean, when your argument is be kind and stop anybody who's not, it's like, f***. I mean, yeah, bro. And look, I'll give you powers to do it. Oh, s***. You're gonna give me powers to be kind and stop anybody who's not. That's.

Cristina: The only people he wants to get rid of are the sea people, though. Like, that's clear.

Jack: And like, let's be fair as we've dug in deep into this, like, kind of. Yeah. It makes sense. Look, even if Jehovah's on the side of the people, like, you guys just ultimately only want them alive so you can keep running experiments.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You're like, don't let the civilization fall apart. We need to kill them for stones.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You know, so ultimately that puts us back on Lucifer side. Right? Where he's like, give them tech so they could reach us. You're gonna kill them anyways.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Let those that can do it do it.

Cristina: Except that they couldn't.

Jack: Doesn't matter if they're gonna be massacred anyways. To make a stone. Give somebody a chance.

Cristina: Yeah, that's true. Okay.

Jack: This is all right, dude. I understand why the. The Lucifer, Jehovah problem is huge. Because it's, like, flopping back and forth.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: One of these guys is somehow right, or it's so nuanced that they're both right and wrong.

Cristina: Yes. I think that's more the most truthful.

Jack: Because in Jehovah's eyes, they're gonna die anyways, bro. I'm like, let's give them purpose. Let's let them their lives be used to improve the world. While Lucifer's argument is give them the choice. Let them choose what happens if it collapses. It was their choice, not yours.

Cristina: Yes. It's pretty good.

Jack: Like, f***, give them purpose. They're ignorant. Both of them are on point. Give them purpose. They are ignorant and they're gonna self destruct. Don't let them die meaninglessly. You give them this technology. They can't handle it. They will die meaninglessly and haven't gotten nothing. Which we see many relics from civilizations that are kind of Lucifer's fault. But he gave them a chance to make their choice. Jehovah is all about taking that choice.

Cristina: Away because he thinks that's safer.

Jack: He thinks it's better and more noble. Use them for something that they would be proud of. If they looked back. If they looked back a thousand years and thought, oh, I died in this moment, but all of human history improved because of my sacrifice. They would. His logic at least is they'd be happy.

Cristina: And what is Jesus point of view?

Jack: F*** both of them. Both of them. Don't give people technology so that they blow up and kill themselves and don't sacrifice people. Leave them alone.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which, like, okay, when? That's the third argument. Kind of f*** those two other guys. Yeah, that's legit. We can move slowly. It's fine. We don't need to f****** flash forward a million years instantly and then collapse because we couldn't deal with it. And we don't need some other guy sacrificing us to accomplish the same f****** thing. Yes, maybe f*** both of them and just let people do what they're gonna do if we kill ourselves.

Cristina: At least it was us.

Jack: At least it was us. No interference.

Cristina: Yeah, okay.

Jack: In that argument. Yeah. Jesus.

Cristina: Oh, all right.

Jack: It's a lot of sides and, like, nobody's right or wrong until you put Jesus in the mix. And I was like, well, that m************ are wrong.

Cristina: Yeah, well, yeah, he's pro human, so.

Jack: He'S pro human regardless. Even if the other two are technically pro human. It's a lot like leftists trying to decrease criminal sentences for people who. A black judge gave them a really large sentence and then they go to prison for this really long time. But leftists are like, that's unjust and blah, blah, blah. And then they go ahead and force a different judge to decrease the sentence and the guy gets out of prison and he gets murdered a week later. And then we truly go and talk to the people who understand, not just feel like they're gonna help. Oh, I want to help. I want to help. But you're ignorant. You're stupid. You don't know the situation. We go and talk to somebody on ground level. Well, the judge is families of the gang that's in the prison, and that guy is a neighborhood friend. He increased the sentence so that he goes to that prison specifically and is protected there. He was gonna stay alive in prison. You guys got him out and he got killed. That's Jehovah and Lucifer being helpful leftists.

Cristina: Jehovah and Lucifer or Peter trying to save animals but then killing dogs.

Jack: Yes. The same logic of, you're not being helpful, you're just thinking you're being helpful.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that's a very leftist ideology. So we can just throw Lucifer and Jehovah in the leftists and say, you're kind of ignorant. You think you're helping, but you're not on the ground level. Knowing what the people want.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You go to Jesus. Jesus is just asking people. Yeah. He's just like, I know why that guy went to prison on a really high sentence. He asked a judge for it. And you ignorant f**** don't know that Jesus is the guy who knows. He talks to the people. He's like, what do you guys want? Well, we just want to live our lives.

Cristina: He was forced to be with the people.

Jack: Yes. That's. That's literally Jehovah and Lucifer's fault.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: They made the problem that stopped them.

Cristina: Yes. That's really interesting.

Jack: They literally made him in a labor, and then they were like, f*** that guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And threw him to the people.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So the people were like, well, he's one of us, and he grew up as one of them. And they treated him right until. Who f***** him? The f****** people working with the Elysians.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: The Church came after him, huh? Even more incentive. F*** that. Let's work these a******* into my plan so I can f*** him more.

Cristina: Beautiful.

Jack: LinkedIn. Yeah. Sacrifice me. Totally, man. Kill me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he enters and goes. He took it from Lucifer, bro. Even if these two guys didn't agree, they were still eye to eye on the people. We need them for something. He just used Jehovah and his disdain for Lucifer. Got himself killed to enter, rob Lucifer, and then get back to Earth Realm knowing these two guys aren't gonna work together.

Cristina: No. Yeah, I guess.

Jack: Divide and conquer.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: F****** 3D chess, bro. I mean, 4D chess.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Okay. Weird one. I didn't know this next one originated here. I was looking to see if this came from somewhere else, but this actually comes from the New England era of the United States, which is. The Headless Horseman is a New Jersey Clinton Road thing.

Cristina: Yeah, it is.

Jack: I had no f****** idea that that originated over here.

Cristina: Yeah, it did.

Jack: In fact, I would have thought that this was, like, an Eng type of ghost.

Cristina: There's a lot of ghosts that actually were from around here.

Jack: Yeah. No, we are in weird land.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're in a really hot spot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Weird. New Jersey is legit.

Cristina: It is it. That's why.

Jack: Yeah. No, we are in some crazy hotspot. I had no idea. I thought the Headless Horseman was significantly older and, like, by default had to be some, like, European thing. Yeah, no, that is just a Jersey thing.

Cristina: It's a Jersey thing. Yeah.

Jack: It got taken and showed up in a million places. But, no, that's. That's us. That's a Jersey thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now, this is described as a humanoid that looks kind of like a shadow that doesn't seem to have a head in the way we would describe. And he's on something that we would compare to a horse, but doesn't necessarily look like a horse. This tells us a couple of things. It's a jinn of some sort. And he looks kind of human, but he wouldn't look perfectly human. That makes no sense.

Cristina: So it's a creature from somewhere else writing a creature from somewhere else.

Jack: It would be the people of the shadow realm, the gym, and whatever their horse equivalent is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And based on everything else we know of the area. Now, there's a weird one. He doesn't f*** with people. Doesn't f*** with people. He's just not an echo. He is responsive. And here's the weird thing about this, right? People have yelled at him, and he'll stop and look like, turn his torso.

Cristina: Towards him and just gonna say, like, how.

Jack: You know, just turn and, like, wait. Like, he's just a dude. It seems like just a dude.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And he's like, okay. They, you know, people from the other side saw me. Let's, you know, let them have their moment or whatever. I'll stop here and let them roll by. Oh, they saw ghosts, whatever.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it's like, it looks like he's not f****** with people. He's not doing it. He's just there and people see him. People have, oh, my God. The headless. And then he just, you know, he'll stop and kind of behaves like a. Like if he's a tourist attraction.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, like, yeah, they're looking at me. Let me stop. And so he's very known for just stopping. He's very known for, like, approaching. But this. These descriptions are where it gets very informative because this falls in line with all the other things we saw of the things that interact. If you look at the truck, if you look at the children, proximity makes them vanish. But in his description, it's something very different. What, he gets close and gets more translucent. Yeah. So, like, really far away. It looks like whatever particles hold him together are denser together. But the closer he gets is like. If you were shrinking and looking at atoms more and more, everything would kind of look more far apart, more far apart. If you were the size of an atom, you wouldn't see two things touching ever. There'd be no body. There's no such thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Sort of that same thing. The closer he gets, the more through him. You could see.

Cristina: What does that mean, though?

Jack: I don't know. So when he's maybe 20ft away, he's so hard to make out. But he's there, and you know he's there. It's like closer than that, you know, you can't tell he's there anymore, but he's not. And that's closest. F***. By the way, 20ft is nuts. But. So he's fully aware you're there. And, you know, he. I did it. I tried to find if maybe his voices come from him or if he waves or something, like the kids. Yeah, none of that. But he is fully aware that people come through.

Cristina: You know, just sense that he. He notices you.

Jack: He. Well, people see him, and I guess he would hear them or see them himself. Because if we assume that there's a notch and you see him as much as he sees you, then he's aware. There's one road. There's one road. Anybody who is on the other side and wants to interact with humans, they know where the humans are. They're on the road.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so it really. These descriptions. Not that anywhere says what I'm saying, that he's behaving like a tourist attraction. But if you were to tell me to describe what's happening, he's behaving like a tourist attraction. He knows all those people entertained, want to be scared or whatever. I'm not gonna scare them too much because there are things out here.

Cristina: But he does like that fear. Probably a little bit.

Jack: Maybe he does cruise by the road. Honest.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Quote horse unquote. But he doesn't mess with people and he doesn't chase people or anything. It just. Maybe he's just interested in humans. And it's like, oh, cool spot where you can see humans. You know, it's possible.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which would. It totally has to be. I'm thinking the kids. There's no park there. I think the kids just like playing close to the road because they might see humans.

Cristina: Yeah. It might still be the fear thing of like, oh, we're gonna get something out of here, even if we're not gonna try anything. But we just know just being here.

Jack: Just being here, we'll see them, we'll.

Cristina: See them and we'll get something.

Jack: I don't think it's about getting something. I think it's about. Because why they're not getting anything. You use the fear to get to this side to then get adrenochrome. They're not doing anything. They're not getting to the side to hurt People, they're just kind of chilling there. The kids are just chilling there. Yeah, the horseman's just chilling there.

Cristina: And the trucker guy.

Jack: The trucker guy's with people.

Cristina: He's.

Jack: He's looking for something.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I think that guy was from this side. It's a truck. Yeah, that guy was from this side. And he just doesn't want to lose it. And he's like, I'd rather they lose it than me. But the kids don't have that. They just. Kids and they wave and, you know, hey, cool, whatever.

Cristina: And the horse, man.

Jack: The horseman is the same. He's just, you know, they're cool people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it's weird, but there are peaceful ghosts here. I'm not even ghosts. They're just gin, man.

Cristina: But he's from that specific area. He's not from somewhere else in New Jersey. He's from Clinton Road.

Jack: Literally, from Clinton Road. It looks like there is on the other side, some civilization.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's possible that that civilization is based on paradise, because that's where the jumbled mess began. On the flip side. On the flip side, there have been stories of people going on a straight line. There's nothing but Clinton Road as long as you don't turn.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And somehow leaving how they came in. So it could just somehow turn on you.

Cristina: Clinton Road.

Jack: Clinton Road. People have gone in a straight line 10 miles before you exit back to lights. People have gone in one line.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And found the exit through which they came in.

Cristina: That's right.

Jack: Without ever turning. So fear could be f****** with the surroundings.

Cristina: Okay. There is something just weird, naturally, about.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Clinton Road itself.

Jack: And so because we went to a place with mad turns, even if we didn't take a turn, we multiply the fact that you can go in a straight line and exit the same entrance by the fact that there's like 30 turns in paradise. And now we have a road that could be anywhere.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Very strange. Now, this next one is very literal because people describe it as this way, which is shadow people. Everything else they have not described as shadow people. This one, they literally use the word shadow people. Dark, human like figures seen darting between the trees, often in peripheral vision, which. Yes, that's just shadow people.

Cristina: That's great.

Jack: The thing is, this is the most reported sighting of something that seems to be responsive people. Look, they scatter away. I think there's a civilization. I think that that area has. And I think, based on what we're reading right now and what you said, that maybe the experiment isn't even in the future. Maybe it was on the other side.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it seems like there's a civilization on the other side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It could just be something that happened, you know, not even that long ago.

Cristina: It just happens over there.

Jack: Just happens over there. Could be. Doesn't have to be in the future. Could just be on the other side. It's folding everything together.

Cristina: Yes. And they just see shadow people.

Jack: Just shadow people casually running around, just living life. Okay. Pine Baron's Devil. Occasional sightings of a creature resembling the Jersey Devil in the denser parts of the forest. And that's very simply a creature from the shadow realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: But is it the same? They're saying it's like the other one. It's not the same as the Jersey Devil.

Jack: They're saying it's almost identical.

Cristina: It's almost identical.

Jack: It might be the same creature type and, like, be in a different area.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: No, that's the least weird thing here. I think it's just a creature. It's like seeing a wetchange or some s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, oh, my God, it's a demon. It's like. I mean, that's as close as raw. Nicka Run.

Cristina: It's just wild animal somewhere else.

Jack: Like a really wide. It's like if you see a wet shudge, that's like coming across a grizzly bear.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Get those f*** out. No. H*** no. Get the f*** out of there. That s***'ll flip your car, bro. Eyes in the darkness. This is definitely, most likely gin. Again, the glowing eyes. These are just probably. We're seeing light glares on Jinn and we just so happen to be seeing the Djinn simultaneously. My idea is described as glowing eyes watching from the woods at night.

Cristina: That's pretty creepy. But yeah. Yeah.

Jack: If it's just being observed and you're seeing through the thin veil and they're looking at you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Unseen forces which are. Again, feeling like one is being pushed or pulled. And that's. That could just easily be things coming through, walking by. And like in parts where the veil is thin but still not perfectly gone so that you can like, oh, wow, something just pushed me to the side. Oh, my God. There's something out here messing. And they're just walking by, but they don't see you. You don't see them, and you just touch and you're like, what the was that?

Cristina: I think that's. That's a good thing.

Jack: And it's actually one of the most described things happening. And it always happens on the main road. Anybody Gets out of their vehicle for any reason, they're usually like, what the.

Cristina: You didn't go out on the main road?

Jack: Yes, I didn't feel as though.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: We got out of the car. I got out of the car to look at the deer. I got out of the car to see why the car wasn't turning on. And I got out of the weeds. I just don't give a. If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. It is what it is.

Cristina: But you didn't see any eyes, though.

Jack: I didn't see any eyes. I saw the deer, the black guy in the KKK outfit. I saw the. I heard the children separate to the laughter. That wasn't necessarily children.

Cristina: Yeah, but you didn't see whatever.

Jack: No, I didn't see eyes, didn't see shadows or any of that stuff.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But the weird moving roads and changing turns, that's pretty strange. And the fact that all of us saw that is weird. Minus Nunez, because from Nunez point of view, it was. We were just sitting and he just saw all of us go catatonic for a moment, which is. His story is worse than all of our stories. Yes, we all experience being somewhere, but now we have to unpack this because he says we pull over and we never get. We. He never saw the dirt road. He never saw paradise. We pull over, the car doesn't turn on. And from his point of view, all of us just sat there and thought really hard about what to do for a while. From our point of view, while that was happening, how the f*** do we get out of this mess we're in? Meanwhile, he's the only quiet one with us. We're just thinking, you know, nuna doesn't fear things. He's a special kind of person. He doesn't feel fear the way we do. So, you know, he's just quiet, watching us scramble.

Cristina: I don't know. That changes everything.

Jack: That changes everything because this falls into what you were saying about the judge. Did the judges go unconscious somewhere and his. Some other thing was in the shadow realm? Yes, because he says, we were just frozen in place, thinking. We say, bro, we were lost for like 30 minutes, homie. What do you mean you saw nothing? The three of us versus the one of you, bro, this is a different argument you're having.

Cristina: But is he right?

Jack: But is he right?

Cristina: I don't know. That's. That's really good. I don't know. That's so strange. That's just so out there. I don't know.

Jack: It's f****** Weird, bro. It's really strange. I don't know what to. There's a lot of complications here.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Here is something that I believe is the veil thinning, which is melting trees that appear to melt or distort adding to the surreal landscape. I think this is just sort of the warped nature of the shadow realm being seen on this side. I think that's just areas where the notch is way turned up and we're just seeing what that side looks like.

Cristina: That's pretty cool.

Jack: My note for that was just likely trees in the shadow realm different than the wandering shadows in the forest. There are eerie shadows that move independent of sound, independent of structure, and independent of physical motion. This is strange because what they mean by independent of normal physical motion is they can go vertically and horizontally but in a walking human fashion.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like they'll just be walking and sort of like walking up into the sky suddenly.

Cristina: Because they're probably going up a building or something.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: We just can't see it.

Jack: We don't see the building. We see the shadow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because they're the living thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we don't see the structure.

Cristina: Kind of makes sense. Yeah.

Jack: Wow.

Cristina: It's weird. It would be weird to see, but it might make sense over there.

Jack: Yes. Informed enough. It's not disturbing to us because it seems like. Yeah, there's probably a structure there that we can't interact with. And it's just going up some stairs or something.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not that crazy. Okay.

Jack: Which then goes and supports again that there's buildings here.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which supports that there's a civilization in around Clinton Road. Shifting paths. Which is the problem we faced.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that is the literal story I was getting to about people going in a straight line and then exiting directly where they came straight through. That's shifting paths.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Us entering Paradise Road. Paradise Road disappearing behind us. And us just being in Paradise Town and not finding the road horrifying. Until it's suddenly just, hey, it's somewhere else apparently. Let's exit. And somehow it still took us to Clinton Road back. It's like this was. We didn't take any turns. We took a turn to get here now. And it still took us to the same place. What the f***?

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. Yeah.

Jack: Mysterious footprints.

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: Footprints that just begin and stop in the middle of a trail without a beginning point or an ending point. I think this just falls into more shadow realm stuff.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Maybe this is a spot where the notch is particularly turned up and we can start to see them literally affecting our physical space. And then they get. Get far from whatever's causing that anomaly. And then we no longer see the footprints. They kept walking on their side, didn't just disappear on their end, but the veil is thinner, is more tight elsewhere. And it's thinner in this spot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So that's my theory for that.

Cristina: I think so. It's not that crazy.

Jack: I think this next one falls a lot with the kids, which is ghostly campers which seem to be around the road. These people just hanging around the road, camping. You oftentimes even see tents. Apparitions in campers setting up tents around fires near the road. But they don't look human.

Cristina: They don't look human.

Jack: They look like shadows. Even with light present weird. And proximity. When somebody goes to see these campers, they aren't there anymore. Even with the fire burning. You get closer and the fire itself starts to dim, dim, dim until there's nothing camping. I think they're camping by the sea. I think they're being just as much as we're on this side. Oh, Clinton Road. This attraction, Horseman's Traveling. The kids are chilling there because it's entertaining and fun. People are camping by this road.

Cristina: Yes. I wonder if they see ghosts like we see echoes. Like, it's still an interesting spot to hunt for echoes or find echoes to them.

Jack: Maybe they're finding the same thing. Yeah. Distortions from their path.

Cristina: Yeah. Like they think that's as cool as we find it cool. And that's why we go there.

Jack: 100. It could totally 1000% be based on these comparisons. There are people just chilling here, trying to see the same things we're doing.

Cristina: Yeah. So, yeah. It's probably even weirder. Whatever they're seeing is probably even weirder than what we're saying.

Jack: I mean, maybe not for them. Maybe like, you know, we hear about ghosts and, oh, my God, this place is haunted. And we see an old guy pushing a wheelbarrow and it's like, all right, well, they see a wet shud, John. A loop. And it's like, to us, I would look nuts. But to them it's just like, oh, yeah, the echo of the wolf. You know, the wolf died.

Cristina: Entertaining enough for them to want to hang out in that spot, though.

Jack: Yeah. They're trying to get themselves scared.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like, oh, wow. Cool.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: It feels. It really, really just feels like they're people, bro. Like they're really gin. Even in text. Seem to just be people.

Cristina: I think so over there. Yes.

Jack: They're not bad people. There are bad people. There are some who are bad, but we got humans who are bad.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know? Yes. There's a dude in a truck also. I would argue that guy's just a human on that side.

Cristina: Possibly.

Jack: Yeah. The truck part kind of makes that argument pretty strong.

Cristina: Yeah, I think so.

Jack: Yeah, exactly like the truck. They're not building trucks over there, bro. Come on. And then the final note on this is the floating lanterns, which again supports this again of. They're usually by the road in the woods.

Cristina: They're just hanging out.

Jack: Just hanging out, bro. They're chilling, they're seeing, they're doing what we're doing. Except they don't have cars. That's it. They're just doing what we're doing.

Cristina: Yeah, that's just them hanging out, I think. Yeah. There's weird stuff happening over there. Like over here. Yes. And so it's an attraction to them too.

Jack: Now, a random point to toss in about my personal experience with, with the guy in the robe. I thought he had a machete, not a shotgun. And what we saw was a deer open. If that deer was horrified enough. And this guy knew what he was doing. He was trying to get to the other side, wasn't he? He was by himself trying to get.

Cristina: To the other side and he just killed some s***.

Jack: And he opened it. He wasn't covered in blood. It was just opened. Yeah, this guy probably took some organs out, Ambros. Just spitballing. I don't know. But you're in the right place.

Cristina: You're in the right place for sure.

Jack: You're in the right place. If ever there was a maybe you're just trying to communicate. We know that the Vikings did that. They consumed a crap ton until they started hearing voices. And then those voices started guiding them and they turned it into a place that they could just casually walk there and interact with, quote the gods, unquote. Yes, the gods knew where to go and they knew where to go to just effortlessly interact with one another. Which, by the way, in theory, we could still do that today. We would just require killing a s*** ton of people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But in theory, we could have a perfect, in sync, one to one communication with the other side. And I think we don't need to make it. I think maybe that exists somewhere in Clinton Road already and that somebody might know it. You know where I think it is, and I think we all think it's in the same f****** place. It's in the castle.

Cristina: Okay. Are we gonna get to the Castle.

Jack: We're gonna get to that castle.

Cristina: Okay, cool.

Jack: Yeah. The next part is about three times as long as these two parts and is the one I called significant. These are the things that are obviously something to look at. Everything else we talked about in this episode and last episode. Interesting.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And for last episode. Yeah, for last episode was definitely the most important because we got things to look at. For this side, there's less to look at, although there's still some things to look at. Mainly not things here. But what this made us think of. Yes, next time, I believe 100% of that we have to look at, but we'll get to that. Anyways, as usual, if you guys have any input, any additional information or anything you could think about, feel free to contact us about it.

Cristina: Tell us.

Jack: You can tell us on our socials. That's on TikTok, on Instagram, on Facebook, on X, anywhere. Anywhere, Anywhere. At just Convopod. Yeah, we got kicked out of YouTube and Reddit. Just Convopod.

+Transcript

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: welcome to the Ramblin Podcast. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and their most baffling ideas.

Cristina: Sounds epic, I guess.

Jack: Sounds epic enough. You think like. Like it could be used as a movie trailer. The world's most absurd and baffling ideas. No, it's. There's a specific, like, rhythm or, like cadence or flow to how these movie people speak. Right. Like just being epic isn't good enough. There's a rhythm to something else. To the world's most epic and baffling ideas. You see, there's like a thing that. That's happening. Like a cliche sound. You gotta approach.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling. Ide.

Cristina: Now say as a boy talking about.

Jack: Ghost stories on YouTube, a boy talking about. I gotta remember their flow.

Cristina: They have a specific flow, too. They all sound the same.

Jack: Yeah, it's like.

Cristina: It's like a question type of thing.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you know, you know. So it would be. Welcome to Rambling Pod. Welcome. Welcome to the Rambling Pod. No, man. How would it work? Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. Oh, I got it. Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: Close.

Jack: There's something almost there. Almost.

Cristina: It has to sound more like a question. More. Just a little more.

Jack: No, it's. It's not even just a question, right? Because it could be. Welcome to the Rambling Podcast.

Cristina: No, that's a question.

Jack: It's a. It's. Again, it comes down to flow. It's like saying, welcome to the Rambling Pod. No, man, I lost it. I lost it.

Cristina: When you had it at first, when you said something random, you had it the first thing.

Jack: I don't know if you look. No, no, no, no.

Cristina: It's that. It's that.

Jack: It's not even a question. It doesn't matter if it's a question.

Cristina: It just sounds weird, goes downwards at.

Jack: The end, counter to how we usually sound, which is an interesting thing for speech. I don't know how, like, language has evolved into such a way that we can just use cadence. I mean, Eddie Izzard has that joke where he's saying gibberish that sounds French but in the rhythm of a joke. The way it's structured and the way the punchline would Sound. And then the joke gets conveyed. Not a real joke, but you know when to laugh. And it's funny. It's actually funny. How it's structured and how baffled you.

Cristina: Are, even if you don't know what he's saying.

Jack: Yeah, he's not saying anything. It's gibberish. You couldn't write this joke down if you wanted to. This joke could literally only exist in performance form because there's no real words to it. It's entirely based on cadence. How weird of a joke is that? But that's where language is. He exploited a weird feature of language where you can know. I'm asking you a question in any language.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like that rhythm of that rhythm of. Is that a question or is it that rhythm?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Where are you going? What are you doing?

Cristina: Yeah. I go.

Jack: Yeah. If you hear. We're programmed enough to hear that weird. And that's that movie flow. And that freaking YouTube thing. I never even got it. Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. No, it's off. Anyways, anyways, today we actually do still have to ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: So you got some more absurd and baffling ideas for us?

Jack: Yeah, I do. So, quick recap, because it's been a while, we actually took a little break. We went on our little hiatus. Was it two days break? Two weeks break in seven years.

Cristina: That's crazy. That's pretty crazy. Yep.

Jack: Commitment.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So in that time, though, I was still doing my due, due diligence, and something weird kind of happened. It was a lot of time to dig into a single idea. And so let's recap real quick some of the important details that are related to this episode.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Primarily, we discovered recently that Elysians mixing up with humans, creating a hybrid, are called the Nephilim. We've heard of the Nephilim in the past.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But now. Now we got the Nephilim in our own text, and that is something astounding.

Cristina: Yeah, I don't think we've ever actually talked about them. Like, we never had an episode on Nephilim.

Jack: I don't even believe we've ever brought them up, which is fascinating. No, if they have, it's been so.

Cristina: Long, I think a guest brought them up.

Jack: A guest brought them up?

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah, because they were talking about weird stuff in the Bible or something. Oh, but that's, like, mad as small.

Jack: Yeah, you'd think. And until now, I didn't even. It didn't even cross my mind. But why through all these texts, religion like this is hidden. Hidden Way back there, bro. We came across the sea people mentioned in literal scripture before we came across. Like we learned how to track that before we even heard mention of this. But then the argument would be. Well, no, because the Norse were just human, right? Or do they stop being human? I still don't know. Okay, so we know that the. No, I think they just evolved. Right? That's the argument here. They weren't genetically modified, the Alicians.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Like they. They're not human, but they're Earthling. Like they just developed. But where the Greek.

Cristina: Like the Greek gods and their Norse gods are they.

Jack: Were they just human? Because all that came later. I think that's the point here, that all of them came from human. That's human plus technology. As opposed to the Elysians that are non human earthlings that evolved from a different bloodline. That they're human and way longer ago. I think that's where it kind of falls in, right?

Cristina: Yes, yes, I believe that's how it is.

Jack: Yeah. Anyways, so we have the Nephilim and the Elysian, which is an Elysian human hybrid. Now we've also heard for comparison of a Naga human hybrid, which was when a Naga took a human form. So convincing that they could give birth to a Naga human hybrid. Weird, weird. And we have never seen a shadow human hybrid.

Cristina: Very strange. But I guess not.

Jack: I mean, it would be impossible, I think, because in order to even have something close to a human physical body or to an earthly physical body, Lucifer needed a host and a whole science project.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To get himself that body.

Cristina: I wonder if an Elysian and a Shadow person. Because shadow people did make the first life on Earth. So maybe the most ancient of life on Earth could maybe. I mean, we don't have any stories.

Jack: I think not. I think not. I think the spaces are literally different.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I think when we have a Naga, a Naga is taking. It's forcing its body to become human. Otherwise it's not really physical. It might seem like a serpent and still be ethereal maybe or some other thing. Because the ethereals are essentially the shadow people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The shadow things.

Cristina: The shadow things, yeah.

Jack: Unless the Naga are physical in that way. Like if I were to just touch a Naga, it's just. It just feels like a snake. I'm not going through it. It's not some other kind of. But then that would argue that Elfame and Earth are more closely related.

Cristina: Physical. I don't know. I don't know.

Jack: I've never thought about this before. Are Elfhame and Earth more closely related? And that's why people of Shadow can't mate with Earthlings. But a Naga can just take a human form in their biology. It's just close enough that they could do it.

Cristina: Weird. I don't know.

Jack: I never thought about this. And this is right in front of us.

Cristina: There's something there. I guess because of the Shadow person who did make the us.

Jack: Yes. And the fact that this. It seems to be that although this came after Shadow, there's something important about Earth.

Cristina: Yes. Why did they make Earth when they had the Shadow realm? What were they doing with fairy trees?

Jack: And what's special about Earth that we can use things that Shadow can. Yeah. Think about how crazy that is.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: And this comes up. This is the second time this come up. Right. Or the third. Where is some feature about us that's different than Shadow that somehow makes us closer to the thing that we're furthest from?

Cristina: Yeah, I don't know. Because we are an experiment. So I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. It looks more and more that way now. Minus the Naga, like I said, we have not seen shadow human hybrids. But also minus the Naga, we have not seen fairy human hybrids. I'm still debating whether the Naga are technically.

Cristina: Aren't they technically.

Jack: Are they fairies? Because they were made by. They're not natural. From there. They were made also as an experiment. Like Oros was made.

Cristina: Weird. Okay, so you're saying that both the experiment things can mate with each other. That is so weird. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: But the Naga is just an Elfame experiment.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, we're just an experiment too.

Jack: Yeah, we're just an experiment too.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Now when we were looking at all of these things, we decided to go through them independently. That's how we discovered more about the Elysians. We discovered more about the Shadow teams. We know about the Earth teams. We know. All the different God teams we know. We talked about some fairies we knew. And one thing we focused on for two episodes actually were the Naga. Because there are a lot of interesting Naga. There's a lot of Naga that have existed. There's a lot of civilizations that were expected to be more developed that haven't. Also. What happened to those people's Naga after the civilizations collapsed? What they mean in all these abandoned ancient societies that have disappeared, but that we don't talk about Much because they never became something major. But that did have a Naga. Because at the time they were at the top of their game. Where are their Naga? If those are creatures from Alphane, they would outlive the out of us.

Cristina: They wouldn't go back to Alphane.

Jack: You think they would go back? Maybe.

Cristina: Maybe because there's such an organization there of like, hey, you go there, you go.

Jack: There could be. Maybe you get reassigned. Interesting. Like military style. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess that could work.

Cristina: That could work. Unless they. Well, some of them might do that. And some of them, because they seem like their own people too. Yeah.

Jack: Like they have independent thought.

Cristina: Yeah. They don't have to go back. If they felt like just hanging out, they would do that.

Jack: Yeah, some of them have. And we have read about that before.

Cristina: Some of them try to be leaders of random people.

Jack: Like, okay, why on Earth, right? Earth is the thing. Earth is a hot spot.

Cristina: I don't know, because I would say. I was gonna say they're not being watched on Earth, but they are because there's also fairies here watching everyone. So.

Jack: But maybe that's why they leave these civilizations. Unless out here it is the Wild west and like it's harder to force somebody once they're out here. Maybe an Elfame. Let's say Elfame is literally made of magic. And let's say one of these gods is the biggest, baddest God, but he's also a being too. Not just I am God, but like not thinking. I'm just all of space and everything. Okay, that's weird. That's just the universe, bro. But like an actual being. But that made everything. Right. And if you're in Elfame, maybe he controls literal the space time fabric you exist in. So he knows where you are at all times and you can't do it. So like you can't disobey over there.

Cristina: Okay, he could.

Jack: He knows everything you're doing. But out here, maybe the Reach isn't there. Maybe there's some reason they can't affect the space.

Cristina: But why talk about their queen?

Jack: They're. We're gonna talk about that today.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yes. Mab.

Cristina: Mab.

Jack: So in looking at the Naga we discovered it was a weapon.

Cristina: A weapon that couldn't kill them.

Jack: Yes. And it was gonna go kill the princess daughter of one of the three Naga king. Which brought up an interesting question. There are Earth weapons capable of killing Naga?

Cristina: There's no way. I mean, it's in Earth. But a Naga helped build the Earth weapon.

Jack: Yeah. No, no, no. I'm in any case, I'm saying they're weapons on Earth, not necessarily Earth. Weapon.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: There are weapons on Earth?

Cristina: I think so, yes.

Jack: Are there more? And what are they? So my intention was, as we've been doing lately, going through a very focused topic, I was gonna look at a bunch of different weapons that maybe have been remained. Like, how. How many are there? Could we get our hands on some of these? Right.

Cristina: Actually found something.

Jack: Well, I immediately stumbled upon the story of King Arthur. And as I was going through the story of King Arthur, which I thought was just a story, I started stumbling upon references towards scripture related to King Arthur. And that was weird because I thought that this was like fiction literature intentionally, but it turns out that it's classified under mythology as opposed to fiction literature. Yeah, they think this happened.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They think the written stories are a paraphrase, but they think it happened. At least a lot of people believe King Arthur was real and the sword was real. And I was like, what?

Cristina: Where? What is the special thing about the sword? I know it's stuck in the stone, but is there a reason that the wizard do that?

Jack: Did the chosen one.

Cristina: The chosen one did that?

Jack: Yeah. The prophecy goes that the chosen one, the true leader, the real king, the true king, is the only person who can please.

Cristina: No, I get that, but who put the stone. Who put the sword in the stone?

Jack: I have no idea where that sword came from. Yeah, because it's fake.

Cristina: It's fake.

Jack: So let me tell you the story. There's a stone.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's an anvil on the stone and there's a sword in the anvil one. Had you get the sword into the anvil.

Cristina: Yes, but what's happening there?

Jack: Yeah, exactly. So only the true king can get it. And so this guy Arthur then goes and he just f****** yanks his sword out. And because of the prophecy, he is. So Arthur takes the sword and he takes it into combat and the sword f****** breaks.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, it broke the anvil. But it couldn't be f******. It couldn't break bone or whatever the h*** he was fighting. Anyways, it breaks. So he looks into it and through his research find finds out that this isn't the real one.

Cristina: What? There was a fake.

Jack: There's a fake. He needs to trade the fake one for the real one. And so he needed to take a journey to this place. Somewhere in the forest beyond the marsh, in a fountain created from the natural marsh water and the spring water surrounding it. And it goes into it gets darker and darker as you're Going into the forest, and you go through this marshy area, and then boom, there's just an open sort of grove that is a fountain. And it's lake sized. It just goes on forever. You can see the lining of the tree all the way in the back. But it's just this giant lake. And so it's very shallow, and there's a tiny island in the middle, and it goes to the middle. And once it gets to the island, the lake rumbles and out comes a lady.

Cristina: The fairy lady.

Jack: Fairy lady? Yes, Literally, a fairy lady. And he after. Because he already knew he had to bring this to her, so he. He hands this to her, and she gives him the real. They're both called Excalibur, where one is a fake and one is a real one.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So he gets the real Excalibur, and this sword makes him invincible. It makes him immortal. Literally. It creates some sort of shield around.

Cristina: Him from death itself.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He becomes immortal. As long as he has it, he cannot die.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As long as he has it, he is the greatest in combat. He can predict anyone's moves. He has great strength. He can pierce anything with the sword. It's true invincibility given to him by this fairy.

Cristina: Why do the fairy care? Why do they have.

Jack: That is exactly what the. I wanted to know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Why, bro?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Okay. Did you put the thing in the rock, too? Fairy.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Why? Okay, great. You got a system. Somebody pulls a. I don't know why you couldn't just put the real one. Let them wander with that.

Cristina: Yeah, but.

Jack: Okay, you put the fake one, and they. They bring you the fake one, and you give them the real one. And now. Okay.

Cristina: Or what is the fake one is the real one. But, like, for the fairy, it's the real one, and they couldn't exactly. Like, it was a train. What is that the real one? Well, for them, the real one.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That has to be the fairy killer, right?

Jack: The one that was in the rock.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He used it on something that wasn't a fairy.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And that wasn't its purpose. So it broke.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then he brought it.

Cristina: And the prayer is like, yes, this is.

Jack: Give me that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I was wondering about this the entire time. Right. And this is gonna get more convoluted as we go.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: So let's. Let's hold that thought.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because that's fire as h***. I didn't think about this. This guy really tried to pull. He got this sword. He pulled the right sword. But then how did the narrative get out there, she must have spit out the narrative so that the. The. You know the lore of you get the sword, take it to the lady.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then the lady's gonna give you the real sword. And she just gave you a f****** sword. And. F*** it, bro. Thank you. Here's a real reward.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: A sword is gonna make you God to them and s***. You need anything else, come back. But you gave me the sword that can kill me.

Cristina: You can't spread that.

Jack: But, like, interesting.

Cristina: If you get everyone to pull that sword thinking it's the one that's gonna. I mean, it is doing amazing things. You're just not gonna tell them what it is. It's just gotta be believable enough. Yeah, I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, no, yeah, they know about the sword. They pull the fake sword, and then when they dig deeper, they find out there's two. And they got the fake one and. No, it's the real one, but the fairies themselves made a different one. And it's like, no, there's a real sword and we're gonna. We'll really, literally. It's a literal reward for anybody who can. Yeah, whoever the f*** can bring us that s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Well, maybe that's absolutely the case. Let's go down and I'll explain why as we get there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I originally thought, like I said, the story was just literature, but when looking into it, it became more and more weird because there are many books of reference. Many books. It's the Bible, before the Bible got put together. It's many people's different accounts of the.

Cristina: Same series of events of author or.

Jack: Elder and all the people surrounding him. It's crazy that different people wrote about the same around the same time. I thought this was just fiction literature.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But people from different areas are like, no.

Cristina: Are their stories different or something?

Jack: They're almost identical. It's like the Bible. It's like somebody else using different words to say the same.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's really, really interesting. Now, the point of King Arthur comes down to the story of the sword Excalibur. Like I said, the lady in the lake provides a sword in exchange. The real Excalibur quote the real Excalibur in exchange for, quote, the fake Excalibur. But only the true king can take out the sword. Where'd that legend come from? Does she spit that legend? The true king can take it, I guess so that everybody comes and tries to f****** pull it.

Cristina: But it makes no sense to have that to be like, why would the swap makes no sense. If that's the real sword, like, how do you convince someone? You.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. It's weird, right? Well, no, I guess it's part of the quest. Oh. The sword comes with a quest.

Cristina: But I guess it's because they can't pull it out. They really can't. Like, if a fairy tried to pull out that sword, it was gonna be impossible.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. They needed a human to pull that sword out and bring it to them.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And they're gonna really reward that human.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And I think, understanding this, they somehow put out the story of somebody's gonna. If you pull it out, you're gonna be real king. You'll be the real king. And then everybody tries to pull it out. Get the most people trying to pull it out until somebody does.

Cristina: Yes. And then give them the actual sword. That's gonna help them be the king.

Jack: Yes. Give them a sword that'll make that wish f****** come true.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And you get your death weapon.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And like I said, the wielder of the sword becomes invincible to weirdos. The sword, because he has it, regenerates his health. The sword is unbreakable. Not the one he pulled from the rock, but the one you get from the fairy. That's unbreakable. It could pierce anything and can kill all things. Allegedly.

Cristina: Allegedly.

Jack: Because I don't think that one can kill a fairy.

Cristina: No, probably not. No all human or earth thing.

Jack: So now, like I said, the point of King Arthur is a story is about either him being the chosen one or the sword. Excalibur is the point of the story, but actually the sword has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that he got a f****** sword that actually allows him to accomplish the thing. Had nothing to do with the f****** sword. I thought Excalibur was the point. No, Excalibur is just how, you know, he's the chosen one. The end.

Cristina: But it has its powers.

Jack: Yeah, it helps him do the thing, but it's Excalibur itself. Doesn't matter. King Arthur is the chosen one.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: You know, it's not. The sword is the great. That. No, whatever gives him some ability, but it only enhances his already greatness or whatever the f***.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah. He had to be great in the first place to get the sword.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. So it's just more of his specialness as opposed to the sword being special itself. Other than it's just. Oh, no, he's special. So he has a special sword.

Cristina: Okay. Whatever.

Jack: Now, looking into that. Okay, whatever. The sword is less meaningful. So then, what was the fairy's ultimate goal before we came to the conclusions we just came to? And in doing so, I just looked into the lady of the Lake.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Surprisingly hard to find. Again, fairies, hate fairies. Surprisingly hard to find. Anything on these f******?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The lady of the Lake doesn't have an identity. That's why she's referred to as lady in the Lake. This is the most secretive fairy thus far that we know exists.

Cristina: But we know about other lake or fairies that live in water. They usually kill people, though.

Jack: Yeah, we know many of them.

Cristina: Yes. They usually.

Jack: Murder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's f*****. But this one works a lot like a crossroads demon. She just kind of hangs out there. She's well known for making deals with people.

Cristina: So she's made more than one deal with.

Jack: She's made more than one deal.

Cristina: Oh, Camino. What's she doing making deals with people?

Jack: I don't. She never made another deal with Arthur, if that's what you're asking.

Cristina: No. What's her other deals?

Jack: Just, you know, giving people fortune and stuff.

Cristina: For what?

Jack: Vague. I'm telling you, it's really hard to find anything.

Cristina: Are they giving her special items? They say like they traded this special spoon for whatever.

Jack: Oh, interesting. Your question is, is she collecting all the things?

Cristina: Yeah. Like these are. She's probably hunting for specific fairy items that she can't grab herself.

Jack: Is she bound to the f****** lake?

Cristina: And is she bound to the lake? Yeah.

Jack: Why is she bound to the lake? This actually brings up an interesting question, because fairies. There are the fairies in lakes that we are familiar with and we never question, can they leave the f****** link? Because they always bring people to them. Why don't they go out and look for people? And they can look very human.

Cristina: Yeah, I think they can go out of the lake, but you gotta stay around the lake. Yeah, they're like Alec. They're not Alec. Yeah, yeah. Like, it's their environment that they live in, which is weird that they'd have limits.

Jack: Well, the difference here is when we're talking about incubus and succubus and mermaids. Actually, mermaid's probably a fairy. But incubus and succubus, we're definitely talking about shadow creatures.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That are bound to that environment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why is a fairy bound to that environment?

Cristina: I don't know. Maybe fairies are bound to specific environment.

Jack: It could 100% be because we know.

Cristina: They'Re watching specific people and stuff like that. That they have these jobs of just watching, but maybe that's really like you're stuck there. We don't really know about the fairies that are watching, but maybe they can't leave what they're watching.

Jack: Yeah. And not only that. Oh, s***, I get what you mean. Like elves, maybe they have to be there at all times. They can't even like take a break and go. Yeah, that 100% could be the case. On top of the fact that maybe there are so many different kinds of fairies that they like, really, they are just bound to certain environments. Like, even if this is a fairy, it's a fairy that again. How similar is Earth and Alphane?

Cristina: No idea.

Jack: And is there water in Elfame that works the same as water on Earth? And this is the little. The only place that has that exact thing allowed. Like, this fairy would normally not be able to come down to Earth unless.

Cristina: There'S a bunch of water.

Jack: Unless there's this exact condition.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of water.

Cristina: When we think about fairy homes, though, it's very. It's nature. You just live in nature. So you don't hear about city fairies. Except for those, I guess, that are stealing shoes or fixing shoes, whatever, you know. But those are warrant in cities either. Those are.

Jack: Those are in rural a** towns.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. So they like nature. Nature, yeah.

Jack: Very related. Actually, humans are the only ones not humans. Earthlings, I suppose, are really the only ones who tend to go against nature quite heavily. Because shadow also goes with its nature in many aspects, and so does Elfame. Everything is based on nature. They prefer being in nature.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're the only ones who defy nature.

Cristina: Which I guess keeps us safe from these other things if they mean us harm. But I don't know. That's an interesting idea.

Jack: It seems like the more civilization that happens, the further away from that we get. But the closer to these rural areas we get, the more that these things are prominent and people get confused. They call it hauntings, they call it this, they call it that. Oh, I saw a ghost. So I saw a demon. No, you're closer to nature. And nature is where this other s*** is.

Cristina: Yes. And it could be scary and they can eat you, but like, that's like nature, nature. There's some deadly things, there's some not so deadly things.

Jack: A hundred percent. A hundred percent. This reminds me that witches are considered a terrible thing, but they often connect to nature.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. And some of them like to live in the middle of nowhere.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: So like that or like those are the stories.

Jack: I would argue that makes Absolute sense. Because you train and learn how to understand these environments and things that wander these environments, you're actually more familiar with things of shadow and things of Elfame. By being in nature where you interact with it enough to get adjusted and used to it, it makes sense. You want to know a witch, even if you don't want to hang out with a witch. Because you can always go for resource and information.

Cristina: Yeah, there's something there.

Jack: Yes. So we spun way out. There's a weapon. Excalibur.

Cristina: Yes. And a fairy.

Jack: A fairy. This fairy is stuck in this fountain.

Cristina: And she's known to trade things.

Jack: She's known to trade things. But the only time that it was significant, what she traded was with the secret story of what to do with the Excalibur.

Cristina: Yes. Trading a sword for a sword, which.

Jack: Was trading the fake. The quote fake unquote for the quote real unquote. Which sounds like bullshit, but maybe it's just two different swords called Excalibur, and they both mean something different. And the one that she received is the true. Excalibur was the true. Well, no, it was the fairy killer. Excalibur. Enter Morgan Le Fay.

Cristina: Is that a fairy? I don't know.

Jack: It's actually confusing.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So Morgan le Fay is referred to in different texts as a fairy in one and the sorceress in the other. She could have been an earthling who mastered working with magic, or she could have been, I guess, three options. She could have been a shadow f****** person for all we know. And she could have been a fairy living with humans. When Arthur was on his quest to trade the sword, he almost died. And when he almost died, look and f****** behold. Morgan le Fay shows up and saves Arthur, nursing him back to health with her magic and assisting him to get that sword where it's going. Why?

Cristina: I don't know. But if she's a fairy, wouldn't she want the sword?

Jack: He has it. She should just leave with it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So why help him deliver the sword?

Cristina: Unless they're, again, not a fairy.

Jack: Fairy rank. Oh, fair enough.

Cristina: He's like, if you're a fairy, you'd.

Jack: Be like, then why is she delivering the sword?

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Why is she helping him either way?

Cristina: I don't know what about.

Jack: Or has she just heard, oh, he pulled the sword. This is the guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, let me help him. He's the guy.

Cristina: Let him take. Let me take him to my friend. Yeah, that sword.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, s***. Yeah. My fairy friend needs the sword. He's chosen one and he's I already know the narrative too. He's gonna go get. So they could both be being duped here by the fairy. So you think Sorceress? Because she would have just taken the sword.

Cristina: Yeah, but if she knows, what's the plan, maybe she's in on it too.

Jack: Or she's not in on it, but she's assisting with the plan. Knowing the plan. Like, the idea is he should be delivering. Like, maybe she's one of the people who knew the story.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I was like, oh, no. He's supposed to deliver the sword to the fairy over there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And I'm good with fairies, cuz. Magic.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I can assist him in getting over there. He needs to. It's his destiny. He's King Arthur. He pulled it out. He's supposed to deliver or whatever, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So there's something about Arthur that's special. What the f*** is it? Why was he capable of taking the sword?

Cristina: Why does he know so much magical things?

Jack: Why are so many magical things.

Cristina: One of them, some guy. I forgot his name. There's a wizard dude that he hangs out with.

Jack: Yeah, well, I don't think he hangs out with.

Cristina: Whatever. But he's part of the story. Marlon.

Jack: Marlon.

Cristina: Yeah, something like that. I don't know.

Jack: So I look into Arthur and there's surprisingly little on Arthur as well.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. There's more about what he's done than who he is.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So most of his personality is pretty flat. There's nothing to know about him. His lineage doesn't matter as much who's around him. Yeah, he's just some dude, but. Or he seems to just be some dude. As far as we know. As far as a lot of the people reading or writing the stories. No. So obvious things about him are that fairies are fascinated with him.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Arthur's main purpose before he gets told the greater things is to find the Holy Grail. He's already on the search for immortality. Also, the Holy Grail must be containing some of the fruits or some.

Cristina: Who took him on that? What?

Jack: The Holy Grail.

Cristina: Does he find it?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Wasn't even the point.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because I wasn't looking. I was looking for the weapon. That's what matters.

Cristina: How do you know this isn't a weapon?

Jack: The Holy Grail?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The Holy Grail is also what Jesus drank from.

Cristina: Oh. What did that do to him?

Jack: To Jesus?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I'm sure it was just a consistent flow of blood he was drinking.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They were always drinking blood and wine And I think that he thinks the Holy Grail is really the object, when really it was what was in the Holy Grail? Oh, which was his blood. I'm sure if he found that it.

Cristina: Was like, okay, it's here.

Jack: But it's just that.

Cristina: So he's a treasure hunter.

Jack: He's a treasure hunter.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or we can call him an archaeologist.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Supernatural items.

Jack: For supernatural items. Interesting, right? Weird guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So he was already kind of in that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Area. He's the jock of the supernatural world. But once he pulled the sword out, he learned in studying about. Whoa, I got it out. I'm looking now. And all this important stuff. There was a prophecy claiming he. He specifically would show up. This dude was already named Arthur. And Arthur would pull this sword out. And Arthur did show up one day and Arthur did pull the sword out.

Cristina: It named Author.

Jack: Yeah, the prophecy author.

Cristina: I should pull this sword out.

Jack: He had no idea beforehand.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: He found that afterwards, everybody knew about pulling the sword. Nobody gave a. About looking into it until the sword was pulled.

Cristina: And then they all saw.

Jack: Oh no, it really was him. It was always him.

Cristina: Weird. Okay.

Jack: That's kind of all the important. Everything else is just like events and action. I was like, okay, to get to the book, to get to the bullet points. Everything else is the fluff. It's like, wow, you suck. There's nothing else here. You just. Fairies love you. You are trying to get the Holy Grail and you were prophesized to. So then what the f***? Who. Who the h*** are you, bro? Why do you matter? Yeah, you're just some random treasure hunter guy. Could have been some other random treasure. Why you.

Cristina: By him.

Jack: Okay, who prophesied?

Cristina: Who?

Jack: Who prophesies? Who wrote the prophecy? Who said you.

Cristina: You found it.

Jack: Ah, that's where we enter with Merlin.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But Merlin is known as a quite powerful sorcerer, known for his flawless record with prophecies.

Cristina: Okay, that makes sense, I guess.

Jack: Merlin is considered a bit of a menace. Why does whatever the f*** he wants is quite overpowered.

Cristina: So is he a prophet? Is he writing the future? Like, is he. Is he a menace? Because he's like, okay, I want this to happen and then it happens. And that's what makes him a menace.

Jack: At first I didn't have that thought, but ultimately, yes, at first my thought was he's. He knows the future, so he can affect the future.

Cristina: Oh, that's. Yeah, I guess that was obvious.

Jack: Yeah, that was my immediate conclusion. Like, okay, he's memorized. Not memorized but because he can see.

Cristina: The future, he can work anything to his favor.

Jack: He could work anything to his favor. This makes him a problem. For even fairness, you can move outside of their understanding of time. Yeah, that s***'s fire, right? Because even if they are way more powerful, you're untouchable. You know what's coming at all times, always, forever.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Oh, That's a f****** problem even the fairies can't solve.

Cristina: Yeah. Whoa. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. But let's talk about the fact that. No. He's so colossally overpowered that he can rewrite the events without having to interact with them. He can change what's gonna happen in the future.

Cristina: How do you know that?

Jack: Because he planned Arthur's entire everything.

Cristina: Oh. So what I said made sense. Okay. That's why. Okay.

Jack: Arthur is Merlin's attempt at his own version of Jesus.

Cristina: That is so weird.

Jack: It's just a guy with the destiny of learning he was the chosen one, then discovering his true power upon acquiring that weapon and then being the real one, true king. It's as to Arthur is a story of Jesus, and Merlin wanted his own Jesus.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: That is the real question. Right. Random other fact that I guess kind of makes things even a little more complicated. This guy can arrange the future however he wants and knows a future. So even if he couldn't arrange a future, he could interact with the future and change it regardless. He could also shapeshift, so he's kind of hard to track.

Cristina: He can shapeshift.

Jack: He can shape shift and See you coming.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: You see how quickly this guy. This dude. He's a human.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's just some guy.

Cristina: I don't know if he has some adrenal crown or anything. Like, he's just some guy.

Jack: Okay, well. Well, after literally saying out loud, what the. He's just some guy. I said that while looking this up. Just like, dude, he really is just. What the. I'm like, what the f*** is up with this human dude? Why is he so overpowered? And then I started looking for the fact that he and the word Elysium are so mentioned together.

Cristina: Stop lying.

Jack: Because we would look for C person. We would never find him under C person. But Elysium is used quite often. And we can use Elysium after finding out that the sea people are the Elysians and cross reference that with a lot of s***.

Cristina: And he's one.

Jack: He is known as a person to come from the far west in Elysium.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: Of course. Merlin is an overpowered Elysian who's just one of the ones, yes. He's a recent print day, that's what, 1700.

Cristina: This is the most recent version of releasing him just hanging out. Wow, that's what, the 1500s or something?

Jack: Some like that. Right? That's not too far?

Cristina: Ridiculously far.

Jack: And it's not. I mean it's not now, no, but we know Van actively doing.

Cristina: I don't understand. Why did he not want that sword himself? So if it is a fairy killer, why did he help him take that fairy killing sword? To get the other sword.

Jack: I think Arthur's not human.

Jack: I think Arthur is literally a run at the experiment that was Jesus. And that sword only really works because.

Cristina: He'S some type of golem.

Jack: Arthur? Some kind of. Yeah, Arthur's some kind of golem. He's either some kind of God, whatever. Jesus and Joseph are.

Cristina: Yeah. These humans really.

Jack: And he could do things that Merlin can't. Yeah, but part of the thing that went wrong with Jesus was what? Well, you. Well first off, right off the bat it became dangerous and problematic.

Cristina: Yes. People expecting everyone.

Jack: Yeah, it was affecting everybody. So you worked out those kinks. But now this guy's gonna be stronger than you. So how do you control that situation? The prophecies and the narrative. Okay, so he wrote the prophecy about the thing the fairies manipulated. It's a very God devil situation. Right. The. The Elysian writes the story. He creates a prophecy that makes it to the public's ears and then eventually makes it to the one guy who isn't human, but is indistinguishable from human. The Nephilim. I guess not. He would have to be born of a woman that's human. Or maybe he is. Maybe. Maybe he is a Nephilim.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh s***. Is the point a Nephilim? Would that have just been made the most sense instead of all this other s*** that's going on? Because a lot of them are just running experiments. Why wouldn't just banging a chick work? Yeah, unless it doesn't.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: I don't know why. Why is it banned and then they're still trying to accomplish the same thing a different way. You're trying to make a human? No, because the point isn't to make it human. He wouldn't be a Nephilim. He has to be a fairy. That's what really what it is. He has to be half fairy or something. Anyways, so the story goes out about the guy who could do the thing. He goes and tries to pull the thing. That sword is in fact the real one. That can kill fairies. But the story isn't altered to say or not even altered the story. The meaning of words gets shifted enough.

Cristina: Thanks to the fairies to convince him to go to the fairies.

Jack: No, to convince him to erase the word fairy from the narrative. And so he uses that sword on normal combat. Maybe the story itself said this sword only works on fairies or something, but it got modified enough that it worked that part out, and then you use it on something else and then it broke. But then the second story they feed is the one you were talking about. Bring us the broken sword and we have the real sword you can use for combat. They can give you a sword. It can kill anything in the mortal world. In the mortal earth realm. They're super op next to it. This is the lie of the lady of the Lake versus the truth of.

Cristina: Merlin, who wanted to make a fairy killer.

Jack: Who wanted to make a fairy killer and have his Jesus there. We have a literal example in scripture of a guy making a weapon to kill fairies. We've been looking for the answer to this question forever. What is the point? Well, now we know to kill the fairies. Now the follow up question is, I, like, now I know why the fairies are scared. Especially with the Elysians existing. See, now my point is, why do the Elysians and also apparently a bunch of shadow people want to kill the fairies?

Cristina: They're all about experiments.

Jack: So I'm thinking that just to run more. It's science.

Cristina: Yeah, it's more about the science aspect. Like, what can we learn from their bodies to help our fairy?

Jack: Just not even kill all of them. They just want to invade Elfame and study it.

Cristina: Yeah, like if they could just kill one fairy, they'd probably learn a lot from that.

Jack: Interesting. There's also many kinds of fairies. There must be reasons for that. So they want to study those things.

Cristina: Yeah, maybe until one of them gives us an answer. That's my guess.

Jack: So Merlin's interesting.

Cristina: Yes. Yes, he is.

Jack: That's weird, man. He arranged the creation, birth and purpose of Arthur using his magic. But that's so overpowered. I don't even think it's about killing the fairies. Here's my theory. Here's my theory. It's not about killing the fairies. Merlin is just really strong and it's really dangerous that he's that powerful. And so the fairies probably tried to get rid of that threat. Not because he's trying to kill them, but he created a problem in which he's like, fairies are trying to kill me. I gotta defend myself. Okay, you See, I don't think. I think it's just scary. Yeah. They're stronger. They're getting stronger than us. What do we do?

Cristina: Saying, they're getting stronger than us.

Jack: We are. Oh, s***. I just had the thought. I just had the thought. What we are to Elfame, what AI is to us, one day it's gonna pass us. And we're always a little scared of that moment. We're like, we're gonna make rules and make sure to program it, not just deciding the turn on us. And so the fairy is. Everybody in Elfame is ultimately like, yeah, one day they're, you know, we're gonna do everything we can and make rules so that they don't overpower us.

Cristina: Mm. It's a little different. Only in that we. It's us and then it's AI. But for them, it's. It's them and then it's the shadow people, and then it's us. Like, there's.

Jack: Yeah, but we're almost working with Shadow to get that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: To surpass Elfame.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So they consider it a bundle.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know. Yeah, they consider it a bundle. And there are elves in shadow around those civilizations. Same thing, doing the same thing. So both are an issue to Alphane. And I think that's the real problem. It's just governance. It's governance you're trying to govern and make sure that. Look, no, I promise you people of Elfame, we have rules and regulations and everything is safe. And our inventions won't surpass us. It's fine. It's under control. Meanwhile, in the background, we're doing it. Yeah, but we're also here. Like, we made AI. That s***'s totally gonna pass us. And then it's gonna go alfame in the way we could never. Machines are gonna pass us, figure out what we've been trying to accomplish, and go Alphane.

Cristina: Maybe, I don't know.

Jack: Easily. So then, Merlin, how did you get so strong, Merlin?

Cristina: Besides that. He's a water person.

Jack: He's a water person, a sea person, an Elysian. Well, tell me, Merlin. And Merlin answers. Well, I might be an Elysian, but I'm only half an Elysian.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: My mom was a chim.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: What.

Cristina: What. What is the story behind that?

Jack: Don't know. His mom was a f****** incubus.

Cristina: What? What? What? How'd you get that story?

Jack: That's just also part of the scripture. Merlin is born of a mortal, which would be the Elysian, and then an incubus, which is a shadow creature.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: How the h*** did that happen? But incubus as shadow creatures are somehow different than other shadow creatures, and we never thought about this. Although not all. Most shadow creatures are ethereal, wet judges and djinns. They seem ghostly. Incubus can f*** a guy.

Cristina: Well, he. It was made with an apple. That was. What's her name's attempt of making humans. That was.

Jack: Yeah. You're talking about Lilith.

Cristina: Lilith's attempt. Yeah. So it's its own thing, sort of too.

Jack: It's a shadow invention.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Using human stuff.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not even human. Using Earth stuff.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's a shadow. Yeah, it's a. It's. I guess it's the merge. So an incubus is a creature that's neither shadow nor earthling. It's both shadow and earthling.

Cristina: Because it came out of Adam.

Jack: Yeah. Made from Adam and apples from shadow. And I guess the apples ultimately assist in merging as well. Because the apples are technically all from shadow.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. You see, as we. The more we go through it, the fresher it gets.

Cristina: Connections being made.

Jack: Yes. So the main idea. And this is why in the group of the shadow gods, it was so important that they looked for a guy who was an expert at combining shadow tech and earthling tech. Duh. Because that's the ultimate goal that makes you better canal fame.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's why. Because everything is about merging the two.

Cristina: Everything.

Jack: Everything is about merging the two. Because that's how you beat the one. That's how you beat the one.

Cristina: Love it. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: So what did we learn? We learned Arthur doesn't really matter other than that. Well, now he does. Arthur matters because he's potentially a Jesus thing.

Cristina: Jesus type thing.

Jack: Second experiment. Incubus are half human, half shadow hybrids. And they can mate with mortals from Earth.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This one Merlin being. Also, my theory about Merlin doesn't just end at him being an Elysian, which that's in the writing, and his mother being incubus, which is half the Elysian and half shadow creature, but. Or I guess he's one fourth shadow creature because it's Adam plus the incubus. That's already. No, Adam makes the incubus, which is half earth, half shadow. So the incubus is inherently half and half.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So an incubus then mates with a Elysian. An Elysian is purely earthling and an incubus is already half earthling. So you get 1/4 shadow and 3/4 earthling.

Cristina: Earthling. Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. He has a nice balanced makeup. But anyways, Merlin sounds and I think this might be the case with all of them. He sounds a lot like one of the Magi.

Cristina: What? Manji.

Jack: Manji were the people who were assisting, or that type of person who was assisting Mary on her journey. The three Wise men and Joseph. All who were watching over her, Mary, when she was on the way to Cyprus.

Cristina: No. You think Manjis are some type of human shadow realm thing?

Jack: Not necessarily human shadow realm thing, but some special Elysians. Okay, we know they're special Alicians. Like, we're absolutely sure of it. We know they are special. But I thought they were special in rank and ability. Maybe they're just different as, like, some of them might be. It's. It's. I'm thinking the Maji are the sort of secret services. You know, like, people follow President around or.

Cristina: Okay, they're like experiments as well.

Jack: They might be, or not necessarily experiments, but like, how the h*** did you guys come across an incubus and me? So, you know, like, oh, this is a special case, but why is it okay to meet with some? I guess it's because it's already part human. Not human, part Earthling.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, well, we'll make it more us than some of the other s***. But then this again. This is human. Some Shadowed, some Djinn. This is a human Djinn. Elysian hybrid.

Cristina: Yeah, but because of the. I think Adam. It makes it easy to. No, but haven't we heard Jinns not use with Adam?

Jack: So he is kind of a Nephilim, when you think about it. Because an incubus is half human, half shadow, and then an incubus mating with the C person. The half that's human with half of being an Elysian would equal a Nephilim.

Cristina: I know. Is there a difference? We. You didn't talk about Nephilims at all and what they're like. Have you.

Jack: No, but he's 25%. He's 50% Nephilim, 14 Elysian and 1 4th shadow.

Cristina: Why is he 50% Nephilim or.

Jack: No, my bad. He is 1 4th Nephilim, 1 4th shadow and 1 half.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Elysian. That's the breakdown.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He's overpowered for a reason. He's so overpowered. Merlin is so overpowered, he can control time. That's problematic. He's too advanced. I think he's defending himself by creating a weapon that can kill a fairy. But he got acquired by the fairy. And also, something happens in the middle of these interactions where Arthur gets taken to the fairy. The fairy gives him the real sword. Somewhere in the middle of this, the fairy successfully manages to enchant Merlin, forcing Arthur to kill Merlin.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, this. That's how this wraps up.

Cristina: It ends with him killing Merlin.

Jack: Arthur kills Merlin after Merlin is enchanted by the lady of the Lake. The sword that Merlin gave Arthur probably couldn't kill Merlin, which is why he broke when he tried to fight earth things.

Cristina: Yes, it was to kill the fairy.

Jack: It was to kill the fairy. But the fairy gave him a sword that can kill Merlin.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because it can kill anything earthly.

Cristina: Yes. Oh my gosh.

Jack: So the same way Mer. He dies. Yeah, the same way Merlin was trying to off the fairy. The fairy made a weapon that can off Merlin.

Cristina: But that's crazy. That's even more magical. That she can fight something that could pretty much control the future. Like his powers is pretty epic. But she was still able to go around that like it did not affect her.

Jack: I don't think it was about affecting her. Why couldn't he just control Arthur to do the things he needed to do? He needed to give Arthur a story to follow.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It's because you can't control Arthur. Arthur is the one who defied it. Who'd she used to kill Merlin? Why didn't she wield the sword on Merlin? Because Merlin would see it coming. He can't see Arthur.

Cristina: Yeah, because Arthur is following a story.

Jack: Arthur's following a story. Story got manipulated by both sides.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. These authors. Something else we're not really. I think he's more human than either of those two things.

Jack: I don't think he's human at all.

Cristina: Or he's.

Jack: I think he's an Elysian mixed with some elf or something. With a Naga maybe. I don't know. Yeah, no, he doesn't shapeshift.

Cristina: That's really shapeshift. He doesn't have any actual magic powers except for the pulling of the sword.

Jack: So then is how he's a watered down version of something. Because this is still the only guy who could get it done.

Cristina: He was made though, to do that thing. That's why he makes me. He reminds me of the Golem. Because he was made to teleport.

Jack: He was made to be able to enter Elfhame.

Cristina: Yeah. So like Oster was made for a purpose, which was the pulling of the sword. And then you try to trick him to do all these other things. But of course that didn't succeed. But I think it was specifically made for that thorn.

Jack: No. I think, yes. Well, no, I don't think the sword mattered. I think the real argument here is that Arthur, because he could have made anybody pull the sword, he decides who gets to pull the sword.

Cristina: I don't think anyone could have pulled the sword.

Jack: No. I think the sword was made by Merlin to kill fairies. It's just.

Cristina: Oh, you think he made the sword?

Jack: Yeah, it's just it's not safe for him to go to the fairy. I mean, look at what happened when he did go to the fairy. So he just stays away from the fairy.

Cristina: Because he's such an interesting thing. Like, I feel like he should have had the ability. Like he's not just a human already, he's who?

Jack: Merlin.

Cristina: Yeah. He's Elysian shadow creatures, etc. Like, come on.

Jack: And still he did not want to go to the fairy. Think about how overpowered the s*** of Alfame is that Merlin was still like, I'll use that guy to do it. And think about how overpowered Elfame is that. As overpowered as this guy is, all he did was get in that vicinity.

Cristina: And still somehow special that the fairies used him too, because they didn't need to use him either.

Jack: Who? Merlin?

Cristina: Author.

Jack: No author is special. I'm saying that Merlin can't go to the fairy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And yes. The specialness that this overpowered sorcerer made Arthur with.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Is what that fairy used as well.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because there's something about making these things that are. That's unpredictable. And Merlin can't see the future of Arthur. So he couldn't see Arthur killing him.

Cristina: No. Interesting.

Jack: There's something so unique about Arthur.

Cristina: Yes. But. And also like Jesus of like everyone seeing him. He also affecting people in a few future sight type of way. Like, is he. No, not really. But yes at the same time.

Jack: How do you mean?

Cristina: Like just his existence changed.

Jack: Oh yeah. But that's more about who he was. Like people were having literal visions about.

Cristina: Jesus, but because of what he was, I think is part of that. And whatever he is, is something that this author is. It's not the same.

Jack: I know it's not the same. Yeah, yeah. They're similar. They're very close.

Cristina: Similar. They are. They're both experiments. And I. Oh, and I'm thinking of the golem too, because that's the only experiment that we've seen that there's something. These three things now.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Are very similar.

Jack: Yes. Yes. They have a lot of the same features going on which they seem to have been created with a very specific, very linear. Yes. Purpose in mind. And that's their thing. And it also Seems an each one of these. Except the golem. The golem. No.

Cristina: He stuck to what he was made for.

Jack: Yes. Control was the main feature this guy was obsessed with. Which is why he had a way of deactivating it.

Cristina: Yeah. Which they was. No deactivation for these other two.

Jack: No. Because they were unlike the golem. They were. They were made from this sort of uncontrollable feature of mortals. Something about these. It's the fruits, bro. Because the fruits are still warned about everywhere. Something about knowledge and free will is dangerous when you're trying to control some s***. You can't control some with free will.

Cristina: Yeah. Which is almost only used with mad. No. Blood.

Jack: Yeah, Blood and magic. It's a hundred percent mindless.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Except no, it was. It did. It just could be deactivated.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which I guess makes it really dark.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because it's like this is a thinking, sentient, loving being and you just turn it off whenever you want and it's just in darkness. It's like. That's a messed up dark rabbi. But if the problem is control, he solved the problem. It only got problematic afterwards because he wasn't around. He was just a guy. And then he dies eventually. And then who's going to handle the golem? But the Manji can't reclaim that. I think.

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Who knows?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So yes, Arthur and Jesus and Joseph have a lot of similar features. Merlin used and made Arthur and used him to try to kill the fairy. The fairy, knowing this made a weapon equally.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And used Merlin's own creation, who could defy the wizard's overpowered ability to see the future. And he couldn't see Arthur's future. And Arthur successfully killed Merlin because Merlin in seeing that. Oh s***. The plan is falling apart. I need to tell Arthur. No, this is a trap. He gets in front of the lady in the lake and she immediately uses her over powered magic on him. And boom. He stayed away for a reason. And the moment he got around, boom.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then forced. Because at that moment, that's when Arthur notices. Oh s***. This was. He was. He was telling the truth. Merlin's warning, which was the fairies. You. It's a fake a** plan.

Cristina: Oh, he realizes after he kills him.

Jack: No, I mean, yeah, after he kills Merlin and he sees like the whole situation, he's like. Oh, well actually that's why he kills Merlin. Because he. Merlin becomes enchanted by the fairy.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So the Merlin becomes enchanted by the fairy and he sees that and he's like, oh no, he was right now I gotta kill him. And her.

Cristina: Does he kill her?

Jack: I don't know if he kills her. No, actually he doesn't. So it's. It's kind of one of those endings. Because in one book it puts him at killing the fairy, but in the other it said that the fairy was defeated in battle and fled.

Jack: Now what does a fairy running away look like? Disappearing.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah, I would guess. Yeah.

Jack: So like, it's possible that fairy's gone. But what if you killed the fairy with. If the fairy had the weapon that could kill her.

Cristina: Yeah. So she probably just.

Jack: Probably dipped. There was no reason to still be there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Her last hoorah was you, Merlin.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So this is a real combat moment between a casual fairy that's still unnamed. We just call her the lady of the Lake.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And Merlin, who was. There's some beef between these two.

Cristina: Maybe they're they. That. That was their territory. They both had. Were fighting for one territory.

Jack: 100 could be the case. Or the purpose of that fairy was to handle Merlin. Okay.

Cristina: Did it and then she disappeared.

Jack: 100%.

Cristina: Okay. That's also something. Yeah.

Jack: Because it's starting to look like now although Merlin made that weapon to defend himself. Alfie made s*** to defend themselves just as much. And we're just catching up.

Cristina: We never. Yeah. We never hear these stories that about fairies actually doing their job of like slowing us down and everything. So this is a good example. Yeah. So they actually are doing it. We don't have many of those stories, but it's rare that they actually feel threatened. And this is just one of those cases.

Jack: Yes. As we dig deeper, we find that more and more we're slowly inching towards Elfame. Plot twist though.

Cristina: What? What? What?

Jack: Arthur didn't die there. So that problem was still there.

Cristina: What was the problem?

Jack: Arthur?

Cristina: Why do you think she cares?

Jack: Because he's whatever Jesus is and whatever the golem is. And that's a problem.

Cristina: But if the end of the story doesn't involve him, like is he killed by someone? Like, how is that a problem then?

Jack: So this takes us to later stories of Arthur's life. Arthur might. As the latest version of this that we're aware of might have actually been a really good control. Although he could not actually control Arthur. He added a thing here that made Arthur a little easier to handle. Big picture.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Arthur can't be killed as long as he's holding the sword.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Arthur will still age.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Arthur's gonna die of old age.

Jack: And then he can't Go forward.

Cristina: So that's not a problem. Yeah.

Jack: That's the control factor. Long term.

Cristina: Yeah. So the fairy doesn't really have to worry about Arthur because he's gonna die.

Jack: But now, ignoring the fact, problem solved. Okay. Arthur is the best version we have so far because now he's a human lifespan, disposable version.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Of Jesus. Because you can't dispose of Jesus. He just comes right back.

Cristina: Yeah. I want to know how old is the author's story, though. I need to know how close he is to Jesus or to us. I think it's 1500s, but maybe not. Maybe that's when the story was popular, but it was before that.

Jack: Oh, interesting. So 11th century. 12th to 11th century. I thought it was 15th. That was still pretty long ago. But it was way after Jesus. This is actually happening before the golem then.

Cristina: Before the golem. The golem was in what year?

Jack: The golem was in the 16 to 17.

Cristina: Oh, okay. So in time, though, it's. They're closer together.

Jack: Yeah, in time, they're closer together. But then Arthur was the meaty, fleshy version. Okay. So then the progression makes a lot of sense. If we think of. So was this rabbi a sea person? No, he was just a human. We know that for a fact because he died quickly, too.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Sea people just kind of go.

Cristina: There was something that told them the secrets of making this thing.

Jack: It was actually when they were doing some rituals.

Cristina: Yes. So it was some shadow realm creature.

Jack: Yeah. Explain the process.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why did the shadow. Because of the f****** Elysians that are in that the people they were talking to that told them how to make the f****** golem were from the shadow gods. That's who they were talking to.

Cristina: Shadow God.

Jack: The shadow gods. So, d***, now we have a mention of the shadow gods. We know of a time they were active. We know when they were most recently active, as far as our information goes, which is the 1600s. And we know of a Elysian in Earthrealm in the 1200s and 1100s, which is Merlin.

Cristina: That's crazy. That's crazy.

Jack: So now we know. The questions I had laid out to answer were, why are the fairies so interested in Arthur? It's because something is special about Arthur. He is one of these inventions. But I guess the reason that the golem is the way he is is because of this situation that happened. Because that information moved forward.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: About the fairies taking control.

Cristina: Yeah. You gotta make something that can't be controlled when you're not using it.

Jack: So although Arthur is better than Jesus, he's immortal. Which solved a lot. Just in case he did get controlled. But too late. The damage is done. So you need something that you can deactivate.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And can't be controlled. And is gonna listen to what you're saying, even if it has a sentient mind. Hence the golem. Jesus was too out of control.

Cristina: Arthur is still somehow out of control.

Jack: He was too easy to control.

Cristina: Okay, yes. Yes. That's the problem.

Jack: It was the other extreme.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Everybody controlled Arthur.

Cristina: Yes. And the skull was just one specific guy.

Jack: One specific guy in one specific way.

Cristina: Once he died, there was no control over him. That was it.

Jack: And the sword wasn't so special. It was just a sword that can. Well, I guess it is, because it can still kill fairies. The real Excalibur is the one that isn't special, although it's just a great overpowered fairy weapon. But it can't be used on fairies.

Cristina: No, but it can be used on anything else.

Jack: So there's two Excaliburs, except one of them is an alfame. And we'll never get that one. The fairy killer. But there is a weapon out here that can kill kind of anything, including shadow creatures.

Cristina: Do we know who has that sword now?

Jack: We don't know.

Cristina: It's not a church.

Jack: It might be. If anybody has it, it's the freaking church. Interesting enough. Could Arthur have killed Jesus? Would that have been one of the uses of Arthur if he could have been lasted long term? Because that sword could kill Jesus. It could kill anything. So there's a sword that could kill Jesus maybe.

Cristina: Bare minimum, before he died. Maybe. But now, as this some Jesus.

Jack: Well, he's still shadow Jesus. And the sword, in theory, could deal with that. It's an Elfame sword.

Cristina: That's true. Almost not.

Jack: There's a sword that could probably kill Jesus.

Cristina: Oh, like kill, kill that sword?

Jack: Yeah, like kill, kill?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like officially off Jesus permanently.

Cristina: And.

Jack: In. With that in mind, is Jesus a concern for the fairies? Like, are the fairies worried about Jesus after the fact? Like, do they care about Jesus? I was thinking about this because I know he's an issue for the people of Shadow and the people of Earth.

Cristina: Do the fairies? Can't.

Jack: But do the fairy. Like, he maybe. He could potentially be a threat. But does he care?

Cristina: Does he care?

Jack: Does he care? Is it revenge purely. Or is it just like. Nah, dude, I don't give a. I.

Cristina: Feel like they'd care even if he wasn't interested because he's so strong. Still be a threat. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. Okay. Okay. So then the point of making that sword wasn't just so he can kill Merlin. Merlin's probably more of a problem than Jesus is.

Cristina: Yeah, they probably made that sword for Jesus.

Jack: But then Jesus himself is a weird hybrid thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And Merlin, now, I don't know. Merlin is a Manji for a fact, but Merlin could kind of be what Jesus is too. I don't know. Merlin's op as f***.

Cristina: And he's a lot of from the fruit, so. No, no, not Merlin. That was author.

Jack: Arthur.

Cristina: Author is. Okay, never mind.

Jack: The question is, is Merlin a thing like Jesus? That did work and he was making Arthur. But there's nothing about Merlin that tells us he's special other than he's weird.

Cristina: And that his mom is a. Oh, yeah.

Jack: There's no magic other than he learned how to use magic. But it's the same way. Like maybe it's just really advanced tech for all we even. He has fabric of space time manipulating tech.

Cristina: I don't think he's the same thing as Jesus.

Jack: No. Because he still needed the control. He couldn't interact. He got controlled. He couldn't. He couldn't be. He couldn't be. He got controlled. Yeah. That's what we got. This is where what I discovered. Apparently there's a lot there that's awesome and random. Random.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I did not expect this direction at all. Anyways, if you guys know any additional details that can help us understand how this fits into the greater narrative, feel free to give us those details.

Cristina: This has been the rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening.

Jack: Bye now. A bunch of kids disappeared in Canada and a bunch of kids disappeared in Hawaii. Okay. Absolutely fine. I guarantee you in the next month or two. Oh, you know, we, we. We were sloppy. We were sorry about what happened. We're gonna give the people of Hawaii the requirements necessary for them to rebuild. We don't need to be involved in this. Let the people of Hawaii have their things. I don't. We don't know why we've been just so invested. I guarantee you just gonna. It's just gonna change. The tone is just gonna change.

Cristina: Weird. Okay.

Jack: You know, the sloppy is entirely due to the desperation and the withdrawal. The comes with adrenochrome. Why is it target children? It's obviously the target's children. Because you need a dream of.
