Thank you for watching.
2
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.600
Welcome to the Typical Skeptified Jazz, where we dive deep,
3
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.920
you decide, you decide. Questioning the matrix from UFOs where
4
00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:50.530
the shadows and numbers hide. Rob Khalil busting myths like
5
00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:54.670
ghosts in the night. Paranormal pros, secret space ops. Yo,
6
00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:57.250
we keep it real, no fright, no fright, no fright.
7
00:00:57.729 --> 00:00:58.549
Typical Skeptical.
8
00:00:58.840 --> 00:00:59.759
We'll be right back.

and turn on notifications. Hey guys, welcome back to another
11
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.299
episode of the Typical Skeptic Podcast. I'm really excited about
12
00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:04.379
my guest today. Tonight, I welcome back my good friend,
13
00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:09.240
Christine Soltis from Soltis Night Sky Productions. She's an author,
14
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.439
she's a store owner, she's a jewelry designer, and she's
15
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.280
also a private investigator. And she's out of my hometown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
16
00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:22.819
Her interest in alien life, cryptids, and metaphysical ideas began
17
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.629
when she was a child. with family stories about creatures
18
00:02:25.669 --> 00:02:29.590
during road trips. Books about these subjects, including time travel stories,
19
00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:32.430
such as like The Lighting by Dean Kuntz, were also
20
00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:35.810
among the items that shaped her existence. Additionally, Christine wrote
21
00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:41.780
her first novel circa 2022, I mean, sorry, 2002, 2003,
22
00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.159
which has been steadily sharpening her writing skills for the
23
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.300
past 23 years. She's crafted 27 books going on 28 books,
24
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.689
including Final Moon, Reclusive 2038, spirit blocker and contract collecting
25
00:02:53.710 --> 00:02:57.330
and controlling karma and more. She's contributed prose to comic
26
00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:00.250
books and has been acted as an editor. And, uh,
27
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:04.139
you know, um, she's the owner of solstice night sky designs,
28
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:08.900
which features handcrafted natural stone jewelry with different healing properties.
29
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.000
There's a metaphysical and native American jewelry influence. Christina is
30
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.000
also an actress and a public speaker with topics on stones, ghosts, aliens,
31
00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:22.110
and collecting controlling karma presentations amongst others. And we're going
32
00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:24.419
to be going over her conference today. I'm going to
33
00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.060
add her to the stage in a second, which I'll
34
00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:30.680
be live streaming the event. And, yeah, I'll let her
35
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.250
come on and tell you more about that. But, yeah, Christine,
36
00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:35.090
thanks so much for coming back on. How are you?
37
00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:38.069
Well, thanks for having me. I'm pretty good. Pretty good.
38
00:03:38.150 --> 00:03:40.669
Just keeping busy, you know, usual.
39
00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:46.430
Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Maybe like you said before,
40
00:03:46.469 --> 00:03:48.710
the weather change or something. Something's kind of up in
41
00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:51.509
the air, though, you know? Something seems off about today.
42
00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:52.770
I don't know what it is, you know?
43
00:03:53.449 --> 00:03:56.810
Yeah, it's been like a weirdly exhausting week. I'm not
44
00:03:56.889 --> 00:04:01.569
sure what's going on with that. Maybe we should look
45
00:04:01.610 --> 00:04:03.530
at it astrologically.
46
00:04:03.629 --> 00:04:04.229
I'm not sure.
47
00:04:05.430 --> 00:04:08.409
Yeah, yeah. I just had surgery, too. I don't know
48
00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:09.550
if you saw. I had it.
49
00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:10.469
Yeah, I had it.
50
00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:14.639
I had like two cysts removed from my ankle. It
51
00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:17.160
was like, it was, it was, I mean, I, I
52
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.759
had to have it, it was, had to have it done,
53
00:04:18.850 --> 00:04:20.629
but yeah.
54
00:04:21.089 --> 00:04:21.730
Feeling better.
55
00:04:21.750 --> 00:04:23.269
I mean, it's only been like two days, but is
56
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:24.069
it healing.
57
00:04:23.829 --> 00:04:24.769
Up or how's that?
58
00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:27.569
It's, it's, it's, I have, I have stitches, you know? So,
59
00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:30.180
you know what I mean? Like it's, it's starting to
60
00:04:30.209 --> 00:04:33.259
get there, but yeah. So this conference is going to
61
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.220
be awesome. I'm excited about it. Tell us all about
62
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:37.759
it and yeah. What's going on with this?
63
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.459
Well, it's definitely going to be pretty awesome because, you know,
64
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.779
anybody who's seen the past panels knows that I did
65
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.959
these like in 2013, 14 and 15.
66
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.660
So that was like 13 years ago.
67
00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:54.529
Stopped doing them once I started becoming more heavily involved.
68
00:04:54.230 --> 00:04:54.990
As a PI.
69
00:04:55.430 --> 00:04:57.689
I didn't really have as much time. I do travel
70
00:04:57.730 --> 00:05:02.490
a lot between three states. So as of 2025, I
71
00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:06.629
brought the panels back. So we've already addressed like, you know,
72
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.500
artificial intelligence and UFOs. We've already gone through like the,
73
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:16.790
you know, the alien abduction theories. We've got the cryptic
74
00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:19.610
panel in April. And now we are going to have
75
00:05:19.730 --> 00:05:24.610
our very first like new ghostly panel. So this one's
76
00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:29.399
called ghostly apparitions and otherworldly beings, because the point of
77
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.339
doing this one is that a lot of people are
78
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.920
kind of mistaken, or they may just think that ghosts
79
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.910
are something simple, that there's just you know, this one
80
00:05:36.990 --> 00:05:39.990
type of entity that there is. But there's a lot
81
00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:43.009
of very educated and intelligent people that, you know, come
82
00:05:43.110 --> 00:05:47.269
onto these panels to just kind of introduce like other
83
00:05:47.329 --> 00:05:50.629
topics or talk about things that they've been studying specifically.
84
00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:55.110
So we're going to have Ed Kellerman doing an introduction
85
00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:56.120
to what is a ghost.
86
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.420
We have Damon Keyes. He's going to be doing the.
87
00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:05.589
Difference between residual energy and an intelligent spirit. We have
88
00:06:05.730 --> 00:06:10.769
Aurora Swanhill doing the Banshee. Ed Kellerman actually also was
89
00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:14.550
in Ireland. So he learned some about the Ireland Banshee.
90
00:06:14.569 --> 00:06:16.310
So he's going to be adding a little bit to that.
91
00:06:17.050 --> 00:06:19.170
We do have Jonathan Grafe, who is going to be
92
00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:24.160
doing cross-cultural demonology. And then we have Ryan O'Shea, who
93
00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:29.500
picked a very interesting topic, ultra-terrestrials, different branches of the
94
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:32.079
same tree. And we were so lucky enough to have
95
00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:35.350
some pretty cool sponsors too on this one. We have
96
00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:38.949
Willow Station Bar and Restaurant, and we have John Stiffy,
97
00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:44.759
who is a move-on investigator. So it's become a pretty known.
98
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.600
Obviously, we have you. We have the Valley Park Public Library.
99
00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.680
It always hosts these, and it looks like a courtroom,
100
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.379
so it's always funny reading your comments. I wonder how
101
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.430
Mothman's at court today, because the way it's set up,
102
00:06:57.670 --> 00:07:00.790
it does look like a courtroom. But I love that,
103
00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:03.029
because it has a very professional look, and we're giving
104
00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:06.550
off as much you know, education as we possibly can
105
00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:08.029
on that, on those topics.
106
00:07:09.310 --> 00:07:10.009
Yeah.
107
00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:11.350
I forgot.
108
00:07:11.430 --> 00:07:16.709
I didn't mention that we do have two photographers, Kathleen Wilson.
109
00:07:16.790 --> 00:07:20.040
And then we also have this time, Nathaniel Madden. He
110
00:07:20.069 --> 00:07:23.680
hasn't done the, this is going to be his first
111
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:24.839
one doing photography.
112
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.420
So it's going to be cool.
113
00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:30.019
And did you, like, did you use, when I read
114
00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:31.779
your bio, I was saying you kind of grew up
115
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.319
like to kind of come full circle with you kind
116
00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:36.550
of grew up with like stories like this. You remind
117
00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:39.029
me of myself a lot of ways because like, that's
118
00:07:39.149 --> 00:07:40.889
kind of what drew me to this. Like, you know,
119
00:07:40.910 --> 00:07:43.129
like I, I kind of grew up listening to Art Bell,
120
00:07:43.149 --> 00:07:45.629
but before that, like I loved like, you know, when
121
00:07:45.649 --> 00:07:47.629
I was a kid, I loved like the paranormal and
122
00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:50.550
I loved like, you know, reading books about the pyramids
123
00:07:50.610 --> 00:07:53.899
and UFOs and Bigfoot and like whatever I could get
124
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.939
my hands on. And we're about the same age. Like
125
00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:58.680
when we grew up, it was like, it was hard
126
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.540
to come across this stuff. You know what I mean?
127
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.019
Like you have to find it in the library. It
128
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.430
was like a gem then, you know? But now it
129
00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:06.569
seems like we have everything at our fingertips, you know?
130
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:07.689
It is.
131
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:11.170
And it's been like the, I guess you could probably
132
00:08:11.209 --> 00:08:14.610
say that the paranormal world has become oversaturated. There are
133
00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:16.379
a lot of people that kind of, you know, there
134
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.860
are a lot that have been doing it for decades
135
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.540
and decades. And there are a lot who are very
136
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.000
new to it now. It's kind of like become almost trendy.
137
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.310
At this point. So you can find like some things
138
00:08:27.350 --> 00:08:29.810
where you're watching like a podcast and you're just like, oh,
139
00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:32.710
that person really doesn't. know what you're talking about yet.
140
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:36.700
They'll learn, but I always give caution.
141
00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:40.159
Don't believe everything you hear someone saying, even if they're
142
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.000
just like an influencer or something like that, do the research.
143
00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:45.820
Cause that is one thing I've been noticing. I'll watch
144
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.409
something and someone will say something about a particular haunted
145
00:08:49.450 --> 00:08:51.889
place or something. And it's not, it's not even correct.
146
00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:54.309
Like they didn't stop and look at the place. They
147
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:58.360
drove past it, mentioned it and their information was not correct.
148
00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:00.919
And I'm one of those people who I really like
149
00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:05.580
cerebral things. Like if it's, if it requires thought research, that's,
150
00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:09.019
that's where I'm all about. Like anything that's, you know,
151
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.620
intelligently done.
152
00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:13.320
And I'm an investigator. So we don't like when something's
153
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.049
not right. So that it always sticks out like a
154
00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:18.149
sore thumb.
155
00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:20.529
So it's kind of natural that you'll see something and
156
00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:23.269
be like, Oh, that's not right.
157
00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:27.879
Absolutely. Did you ever have any experiences growing up that
158
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.139
you can remember? Like, I know you said.
159
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.200
Yeah. And you know, it's so funny.
160
00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:37.250
I always, I always mentioned this because I'm like a
161
00:09:37.750 --> 00:09:39.610
private public person.
162
00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:42.629
So for a very long time, I didn't really.
163
00:09:42.470 --> 00:09:47.529
Talk about very much of what I do or my experiences,
164
00:09:47.590 --> 00:09:51.190
but I did write about it in spirit blocker inside
165
00:09:51.230 --> 00:09:54.519
the awakening. And I did, I just had one, one
166
00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:57.240
experience when I was probably seven or eight, and I'm
167
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.200
estimating that Cause I have no idea.
168
00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:02.120
I think it was in second grade at that time,
169
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.899
whatever age that would be. So probably like probably around
170
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.059
that seven or eight range.
171
00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:10.679
And, um, it was just that one incident. And then
172
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.259
I said to myself, I just never.
173
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.000
Want to experience anything like that again.
174
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:15.720
It's okay.
175
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.429
I'll stay in like researching it or I'll experience or
176
00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:21.470
I'll try to experience it, but I don't want to
177
00:10:21.529 --> 00:10:24.350
see it. And unfortunately you can't always, you're not always
178
00:10:24.389 --> 00:10:27.730
in charge of what you see. I believe that the
179
00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:31.909
paranormal chooses people that we don't actually always get to choose.
180
00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:35.919
That's a really good point. Yeah. That's a really good point.
181
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.950
And do you, do you, do you feel like, um,
182
00:10:39.289 --> 00:10:41.480
the veil is thinning. Like we are, we are coming
183
00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:43.620
into a time right now, which I think it's the
184
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.240
perfect time for this, this, this panel, which is Halloween. Yeah.
185
00:10:48.259 --> 00:10:51.039
It's like, it's like time when the veil is the
186
00:10:51.110 --> 00:10:51.889
most thin, right?
187
00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:53.450
Yes. Yes.
188
00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:56.149
And that was why I picked this time. And people
189
00:10:56.169 --> 00:10:58.110
were always like, you, you plan these like a year
190
00:10:58.149 --> 00:11:00.149
in advance. Well, yes, you have to get good dates.
191
00:11:00.590 --> 00:11:02.980
If you're not planning it and picking the date, like,
192
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.120
you know, a year in advance, you may not get
193
00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:08.919
something this close to Halloween, which is the most exciting
194
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.399
part too, is having some of these conversations because there's
195
00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:16.639
going to be stuff at this event or, you know,
196
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.539
and even the live stream can see that people may
197
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.659
not be comfortable with. Cross-cultural demonology, for example, a lot
198
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.620
of people are very curious about it, but malevolent spirits
199
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.779
are not on the top of your list of things
200
00:11:27.830 --> 00:11:31.049
you want to meet. So we are going to be,
201
00:11:31.129 --> 00:11:36.440
you know, going through so many different, really just cool topics. Yeah.
202
00:11:37.070 --> 00:11:45.350
I didn't hear what you said. What'd you say? Yeah.
203
00:11:45.470 --> 00:11:45.730
Yeah.
204
00:11:45.769 --> 00:11:49.870
Right. That's hilarious. And, but I was going to say,
205
00:11:49.889 --> 00:11:52.029
so take us through a little bit about the presenters,
206
00:11:52.049 --> 00:11:54.320
like who we have this year is for this. And
207
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.539
by the way, guys, I have to say that, like, I,
208
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.379
I have been lucky to, you know, I've been involved with,
209
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.159
I'm really honored too, that I've been involved with every
210
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.100
single one of Christine's events, whether it's, I've been a,
211
00:12:05.230 --> 00:12:06.950
I've been a panel, I've been on the panel of
212
00:12:07.129 --> 00:12:09.769
one and then I've live streamed the rest of them. So,
213
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.480
you know, it's really, it's really, it helps me build
214
00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:14.919
my resume and it, and it's like, it's really is
215
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.600
an honor. So thank you. Yeah. And like, yeah. Tell
216
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.700
us a little bit more about like each guest and like,
217
00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:21.080
like a little bit.
218
00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:21.539
Yeah.
219
00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:24.340
Well, thank you. First of all, we love having you there.
220
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.720
And you know, I always offer up different panel events, but,
221
00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:30.320
and it looks like you're going to be on the April,
222
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.639
2027 one. Well, we'll go into that some other time, but, Um,
223
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.919
that one's going to be the interplay between cryptids and aliens.
224
00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.720
So we are going to be returning back to our
225
00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:41.450
favorite ones on that.
226
00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:45.909
So what, um, I have the bio, the bio introductions
227
00:12:46.009 --> 00:12:49.149
for all of the people are going to begin tomorrow.
228
00:12:49.289 --> 00:12:53.190
So online October 12th, each day, I'm going to introduce
229
00:12:53.250 --> 00:12:56.649
a new person. We have eight team members and then
230
00:12:56.690 --> 00:13:01.590
we have two sponsors. And we have the venue, the library.
231
00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:04.590
So each day, every person, of course, you're part of
232
00:13:04.610 --> 00:13:07.009
the team member as the live stream and the two
233
00:13:07.049 --> 00:13:11.240
photographers as well. And each day they get the whole day,
234
00:13:11.289 --> 00:13:14.159
like that's the one post, you know, like I'll post
235
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:17.159
and put their whole bio out there. So when it
236
00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:20.500
comes to our people who are going to be on
237
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.299
this particular one, this is going to be very interesting.
238
00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:25.799
I will say I'm pretty excited about this. I'm just like,
239
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.169
you know, hoping it's not like a, a big war,
240
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.899
but we have different kinds of personalities.
241
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.720
We do have, we'll start with Ryan O'Shea. Ryan O'Shea
242
00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:36.159
does a.
243
00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:39.820
Lot of work in like artificial intelligence and things of
244
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.629
that matter. So he has the skeptical viewpoint. He does do,
245
00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:48.090
you know, the paranormal investigations with Kathleen Wilson as well. And,
246
00:13:48.649 --> 00:13:53.639
you know, he's going to be the one addressing ultra terrestrials. And,
247
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.419
you know, if you've read anything like, you know, John Keel,
248
00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:59.019
he brought up the in the eighth tower, he brought
249
00:13:59.059 --> 00:14:02.500
up the super spectrum and like the only like 10
250
00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:05.049
to 15 percent of people, I guess, can see on
251
00:14:05.090 --> 00:14:09.850
like this other spectrum what exists there, like things that
252
00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:13.379
aren't allegedly on our reality. So that's going to be
253
00:14:13.389 --> 00:14:16.960
very fascinating. That's what Ryan's going to be talking about.
254
00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:21.039
Then we have, and I'll just go on in the
255
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:26.159
order of the flyer, Damon Keyes. Now, Damon Keyes, this
256
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.639
is very interesting, had Outsider Paranormal Group with Fred Tennant
257
00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:35.840
and Chuck Cruiser. Now, they did paranormal investigations, and some
258
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.080
of them could have been, I guess you'd probably say
259
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:43.570
kind of violent entities. But now they don't do them anymore,
260
00:14:43.610 --> 00:14:46.070
as far as I know. But Damon Keyes is now
261
00:14:46.110 --> 00:14:49.990
a pastor. So we're going to have a pastor, you know,
262
00:14:50.049 --> 00:14:54.570
here discussing the that's I like that a lot, you know,
263
00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:58.129
with more of a religious angle coming from him and
264
00:14:58.610 --> 00:14:59.350
in regards.
265
00:14:59.070 --> 00:15:00.029
To these entities.
266
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.799
And then we have Jonathan Grave. Now, Jonathan has a
267
00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:08.980
military background, a medic background, a teacher background, and he's
268
00:15:09.019 --> 00:15:14.110
been studying cross-cultural demonology. He has many artifacts, things you
269
00:15:14.149 --> 00:15:17.350
may not want to touch with your bare hands. Um,
270
00:15:17.889 --> 00:15:20.470
and then we have next, we have Aurora Swan.
271
00:15:20.950 --> 00:15:22.809
What kind of stuff does he have? Does he have
272
00:15:22.830 --> 00:15:23.669
like haunted dolls?
273
00:15:23.889 --> 00:15:26.509
You're going to have to ask him.
274
00:15:26.570 --> 00:15:28.309
He gave me a list, but I'm not going to
275
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:30.149
give out all, I'm not going to, not going to
276
00:15:30.210 --> 00:15:32.590
tell out everything that he has. We're going to save
277
00:15:32.629 --> 00:15:36.429
some of this for the panel, but it's exciting to me. Um,
278
00:15:36.830 --> 00:15:40.330
I'm not touching anything. If he brings it, I'm not
279
00:15:40.370 --> 00:15:44.629
touching them. Um, and then we have, um, next on
280
00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:48.480
our flyer, we have Aurora Swan healed. She is what's
281
00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:52.970
considered to be a psychic medium. So she can, you know, see,
282
00:15:53.070 --> 00:15:56.370
interact with ghostly entities and things like that. She's one
283
00:15:56.409 --> 00:15:58.629
of the few people I know that do like past
284
00:15:58.730 --> 00:16:02.169
life readings, I think. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was
285
00:16:02.230 --> 00:16:05.460
one of the things that she does too. She's been
286
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.580
talking about the Banshee, which is a very interesting.
287
00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:12.179
Creature from folklore and things of that nature. And then
288
00:16:12.220 --> 00:16:16.950
of course we have, lastly, Oh, in my head. Ed Kalman.
289
00:16:17.190 --> 00:16:20.450
Now, Ed Kalman, I've known him for a very long time, too.
290
00:16:20.509 --> 00:16:22.529
I've actually known all of them for a pretty long time.
291
00:16:23.149 --> 00:16:28.350
But Ed specifically has gone out and done like house
292
00:16:28.389 --> 00:16:32.049
blessings or gone to some of my friends' homes just
293
00:16:32.070 --> 00:16:33.960
to kind of see what type of entity is in
294
00:16:34.009 --> 00:16:38.159
that house. I do swear by his sage candles, too.
295
00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:39.919
Oh, I gave you one.
296
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:40.559
That's right.
297
00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:43.539
Whenever you were going through some things, Ed Kalman makes
298
00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:44.480
those sage candles.
299
00:16:46.629 --> 00:16:49.009
By the way, I burned the hell out of that candle.
300
00:16:49.029 --> 00:16:54.120
That was one of the best candles I ever had
301
00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:54.960
in my entire life.
302
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.740
I told Ed to bring some because I'm going to
303
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.750
buy those. I want Jonathan's book on cross-cultural demonology. And
304
00:17:03.789 --> 00:17:06.589
I also want Ed has a book on haunted objects.
305
00:17:07.109 --> 00:17:11.410
Because this panel, aside from them starting with those topics,
306
00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:14.509
we're going to everything. We're going to be talking about
307
00:17:14.549 --> 00:17:19.109
haunted places, haunted objects. There's also theories of, you know,
308
00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:23.559
objects appearing and reappearing. Like, you know, they vanish and
309
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.960
then they come back, things like that. So, and another
310
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.140
thing I want to point out is that there are
311
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.240
certain people that I would like to meet, if any
312
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.319
people in your audience or anyone you know of that have,
313
00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:40.819
you know, information on Native American and ghost the apparitions
314
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.119
for future things. Native American and then also witchcraft in
315
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.329
correlation to ghost the entities. I'd love to hear from
316
00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:51.269
potential future panelists. As you know, sometimes we'll do the
317
00:17:51.329 --> 00:17:54.809
live stream where you have someone up on the screen
318
00:17:54.910 --> 00:17:57.269
so they don't have to be local to Pittsburgh to
319
00:17:57.309 --> 00:17:58.000
be part of it.
320
00:17:59.269 --> 00:18:03.859
Yeah, that's cool. Maybe we can run some I have
321
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.880
a lady who comes on. She's an expert in hoodoo
322
00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:10.480
and Santeria and witchcraft. Her name's Miss Aida. She's actually
323
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:16.170
coming on on the day of your event, actually.
324
00:18:16.210 --> 00:18:16.650
That night.
325
00:18:16.910 --> 00:18:22.970
I have her coming on that night. She's just... She
326
00:18:23.009 --> 00:18:25.470
comes on every year around Halloween time on my show.
327
00:18:25.509 --> 00:18:30.740
She's become like a... I don't know. I cannot possibly
328
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.799
have her come on one of your panels, you know?
329
00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:35.859
Um, yeah, well, I do.
330
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.440
Because we've we've covered a lot of topics as of
331
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.660
right now. So I really like a lot of strange things.
332
00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:43.940
And it's it's really the thing that I really like
333
00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:46.799
is that a lot of the people I meet in
334
00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:49.700
my path, they tell me about things I've never heard
335
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.319
of really just weird things.
336
00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:53.940
We do have a friend who's from France and has,
337
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.180
like Spanish gypsy roots.
338
00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:58.599
And I'm like, there's some of the stuff that people
339
00:18:58.660 --> 00:19:00.700
tell you you're like, one of these days, I am
340
00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:03.170
going to be doing a presentation on some of the
341
00:19:03.250 --> 00:19:05.869
strange things that people come to me with. I love
342
00:19:05.910 --> 00:19:09.130
that esoteric stuff. It's just very exciting to me to
343
00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:11.339
see something that's different and strange.
344
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:13.619
Yeah, absolutely.
345
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:14.359
Absolutely.
346
00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:16.819
Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah. And guys, if you have
347
00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:19.380
questions for Christina, if you have questions about the panel,
348
00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:25.140
you know, you know, put them in the chat and, and, and,
349
00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:27.220
and maybe we should tell people the date and stuff.
350
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:31.130
So it's October 24th, 1 PM at the Bethel park library.
351
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.299
Yep.
352
00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:34.660
And then obviously they can watch it on your live
353
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.940
stream if they're not local to Pittsburgh.
354
00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:38.440
It's free. It's a free event.
355
00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:42.950
And I do giveaways. And I'm actually going to do
356
00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:46.109
an interesting one with selenite. The selenite stone is like
357
00:19:46.150 --> 00:19:49.970
a purifying stone. It's supposed to allegedly drive away evil spirits.
358
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.000
So I'm going to have a fun little giveaway with that.
359
00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:56.619
And then I'll sell a couple pieces and books. And
360
00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:59.980
then I do a couple giveaways with tote bags that
361
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.579
have like.
362
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.720
This official flyer, as you can see here. It has
363
00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:06.140
all the people on it. Yeah.
364
00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:12.920
Yeah, it's cool. I'll make one closer to the thing, too,
365
00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:16.180
for the live stream as well. I'll use all the
366
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.539
pictures again, but last year I had to fix the
367
00:20:18.579 --> 00:20:20.839
names because the AI messed it.
368
00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:22.569
Up or whatever. It did.
369
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.299
It gave me a weird V or something on the
370
00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:27.579
top of my head in that new one.
371
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.740
I was like, well, that's interesting.
372
00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:31.609
For real? Oh, shit.
373
00:20:32.490 --> 00:20:35.069
That's all right. I erased it on mine and reposted it.
374
00:20:37.950 --> 00:20:43.460
I was thinking of other questions oh yeah by the
375
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.980
way like Christine said guys it's free to come in
376
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.539
but we just asked you know do you guys support
377
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.740
the presenters that are going to be there because like
378
00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:54.119
people are going to be selling their wares like you
379
00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:56.670
know like the stuff like you know like she said
380
00:20:57.049 --> 00:21:00.089
like so it's not just a conference like tell people
381
00:21:00.109 --> 00:21:01.410
a little bit about that like people are going to
382
00:21:01.470 --> 00:21:03.509
have their items for sale as well too.
383
00:21:03.829 --> 00:21:07.519
Right Yeah, I mean, we know, you know, before we
384
00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:10.380
go there, that this is a very cerebral event and
385
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.700
that we're not having this expectation that we're going to
386
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.130
have a lot of.
387
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.930
Sales because most of the time people are sitting there
388
00:21:14.970 --> 00:21:15.490
the whole time.
389
00:21:16.549 --> 00:21:18.569
You know, before you come in before or you come
390
00:21:18.589 --> 00:21:22.470
in after, you can look at what's there. And there's
391
00:21:22.509 --> 00:21:23.910
just a couple of us that will have books.
392
00:21:23.950 --> 00:21:24.630
It'll be me.
393
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.839
It'll be Jonathan and it will be Ed. I don't
394
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.609
think anybody else is bringing anything to sell. And then,
395
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.630
of course, Ed has those candles too, those sage candles.
396
00:21:36.210 --> 00:21:38.069
Yeah, I'll probably do that. I'm going to.
397
00:21:37.950 --> 00:21:40.890
Have some natural stones, protective stones, if you believe in
398
00:21:40.930 --> 00:21:42.150
that kind of thing.
399
00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:46.039
So I might have some natural stones too.
400
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:51.059
Yeah. And I'm just trying to stay on topic.
401
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.880
Well, like, we could even.
402
00:21:55.849 --> 00:21:57.930
One thing I do want to mention is like the
403
00:21:58.049 --> 00:22:01.210
April one that, you know, we haven't really announced yet.
404
00:22:01.289 --> 00:22:03.970
And I know that's six months away from now, but
405
00:22:04.009 --> 00:22:05.789
I just want to kind of put the bug out there.
406
00:22:05.809 --> 00:22:10.150
I guess you'd say that that's a team challenge. So
407
00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:13.440
we will have be having people vote and that'll be,
408
00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:16.400
that could be part of your audience voting on their
409
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:20.400
favorite team. And that team wins, you know, a gift
410
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.259
basket each.
411
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:22.819
Yeah.
412
00:22:23.950 --> 00:22:26.630
Yeah so that's going to be a massive event the
413
00:22:26.690 --> 00:22:29.779
one i'm planning for april so just to uh kind
414
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:31.680
of get your eye out up to um for the
415
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:36.000
team challenge but so it might be this one first
416
00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:38.819
to understand or or see it to understand.
417
00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:42.680
How it goes yeah that's cool that's really cool yeah
418
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.700
um uh let me see here if anybody else has
419
00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:50.579
any if anybody has any questions and um Did you,
420
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.759
speaking of which, have you ever, I know I asked
421
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:55.880
you if you had a paranormal encounter. Have you ever
422
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.019
had like a UFO encounter that you can think of?
423
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:03.680
Well, that's an interesting question because I have friends who,
424
00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:07.470
I've always liked science. We used to sit outside at
425
00:23:07.569 --> 00:23:10.650
night out by Washington, PA. We would watch like shooting
426
00:23:10.690 --> 00:23:13.690
stars and things like that. And then I was also
427
00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:18.339
driving around. through like Meadowlands, Houston area one day. And
428
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.019
a couple of times I saw what looked like a
429
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.869
kind of like a fireball in the sky. And for me,
430
00:23:22.910 --> 00:23:27.049
I'm just thinking that's a natural, you know, earth or,
431
00:23:27.109 --> 00:23:30.289
I mean, you know, meteorite or something. I don't know
432
00:23:30.329 --> 00:23:32.190
what I was thinking it was. I didn't think that
433
00:23:32.609 --> 00:23:36.079
that could be a spaceship, but somebody else told me
434
00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:39.259
that you saw a spaceship. And I'm like, I don't
435
00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:42.140
know if I classify that as one or not, but
436
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.359
it was just kind of like a fireball. Like when, but,
437
00:23:45.769 --> 00:23:47.950
I can't confirm that, you know, I don't have any
438
00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:50.809
video footage of it. I didn't take any pictures of it.
439
00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:53.059
It's just like I was driving down the road and
440
00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:55.519
saw it, you know, so things like that.
441
00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:58.400
I can ask you a question. Is that where you
442
00:23:58.420 --> 00:24:03.660
grew up out by what Meadowlands or Washington? Yeah. I
443
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.009
know that place. We used to like back when I
444
00:24:06.049 --> 00:24:08.529
was young, this and listen to this, like we used
445
00:24:08.549 --> 00:24:10.690
to like, we used to listen to our bell on
446
00:24:10.710 --> 00:24:13.230
the radio and drive out to the waffle house out there.
447
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:15.809
From all the way out where I live, we would
448
00:24:15.849 --> 00:24:18.890
drive out there, and we would go on burn runs,
449
00:24:19.349 --> 00:24:21.390
and we would listen to Art Bell, and then we
450
00:24:21.430 --> 00:24:24.150
would go get breakfast at the Waffle House and stuff.
451
00:24:24.589 --> 00:24:29.880
It was a fascinating time to be alive. I don't know.
452
00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:32.400
You just made me think of that. I also know
453
00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:35.519
about the Washington, D.A. because of the Meadowlands. The Meadows
454
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.339
is out there, right?
455
00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:37.220
Yeah.
456
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.619
I don't live out there now, but when I was
457
00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:43.289
way younger. But I was just driving out there because,
458
00:24:43.509 --> 00:24:46.150
you know, family lives out there. But I was driving
459
00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:48.650
through at night. And I like to work at night
460
00:24:48.690 --> 00:24:55.200
a lot. Prefer it. But I haven't really seen. You
461
00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:56.839
would think I would see.
462
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.900
More because of all the travel.
463
00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:02.339
Like I am in some of the areas that have
464
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.400
the most incidents, like down by Point Pleasant, down by Flatwoods.
465
00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:08.380
I can't even say how many times I've been down
466
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.829
by Flatwoods for work. how many times I've passed the exit,
467
00:25:12.250 --> 00:25:15.450
so many times. And I've even been in, you know,
468
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.279
Grafton and woodsy areas, nothing. So I haven't seen quite
469
00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:23.599
as much as other people would have. I would probably
470
00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:26.849
say that, you know, like I said, back in the day,
471
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.430
I decided I didn't really want to see things. So
472
00:25:29.490 --> 00:25:32.210
I might not be on that spectrum of people who can.
473
00:25:32.230 --> 00:25:36.769
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, that's interesting.
474
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.279
Yeah, and the more, someone brought it up one day,
475
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.960
and then I also read about it, and I was like,
476
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.720
you know what, this kind of, it does seem like
477
00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:49.559
there may just be certain people who can.
478
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.859
Yeah, yeah, so maybe, I would tell you, it kind
479
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:58.569
of goes into, like, what the guy on the panel said, like,
480
00:25:58.950 --> 00:26:02.990
Ryan O'Shea, when he said he's going to talk about ultra-terrestrials, like,
481
00:26:03.390 --> 00:26:07.140
some of us can see like, like a different light
482
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.180
frequency or like from the light spectrum. It's like, they
483
00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:13.769
say that a lot of us only see like 1%
484
00:26:13.769 --> 00:26:16.910
or 5% of the visible light spectrum. Like that means
485
00:26:16.970 --> 00:26:20.309
some people can see beyond that. Some people have like a,
486
00:26:20.809 --> 00:26:24.259
like a spectrum. It's not, not, not really. No. Would you,
487
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:25.380
do you think that's what it is?
488
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.619
Yeah, I do. I do.
489
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:33.359
Um, Uh, I don't know what, but short of, you know,
490
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.920
experimenting on people, I don't know how you can determine
491
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.099
what made the difference. And I wouldn't, I'm not going
492
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.099
to suggest experimenting on people.
493
00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:43.640
I'll tell you what, one day I had a, I
494
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.329
had a weird experience. Like I live in lower, around
495
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.890
near the lower borough area, if you know where that is. And, and, uh, I, uh,
496
00:26:51.450 --> 00:26:54.049
I was, I was coming to, uh, I was, I
497
00:26:54.069 --> 00:26:57.170
was walking up by the BP the one day and, uh,
498
00:26:57.390 --> 00:27:00.829
I saw, um, I, I was, I was, I I've
499
00:27:00.869 --> 00:27:03.410
told this many times on my podcast, but like, you know,
500
00:27:03.450 --> 00:27:06.170
this is the honest to God truth. Like I like
501
00:27:06.170 --> 00:27:08.750
300 feet above the BP and nobody stopped to look
502
00:27:08.789 --> 00:27:13.259
at this. Nothing. There was like this like shape-shifting plasmoid orb.
503
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:16.559
It was turning like green and purple and it reminded
504
00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:19.160
me something out of like, Jaime Masan's like UFOs over
505
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.440
Mexico or something like it was, it was, it was fascinating.
506
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:24.960
And like, I stopped, I tried getting my phone. When
507
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.960
I tried to get my phone, it literally blurred out
508
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.829
my camera. And like it was it was the weirdest
509
00:27:29.849 --> 00:27:32.190
thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Like that's
510
00:27:32.250 --> 00:27:35.009
the closest I have to a UFO sighting, you know?
511
00:27:35.450 --> 00:27:35.950
Oh, yeah.
512
00:27:36.009 --> 00:27:38.769
Well, I mean, do you think that was a UFO
513
00:27:38.890 --> 00:27:42.410
or something more? Because, you know, a lot of.
514
00:27:42.410 --> 00:27:46.519
People say that, you know, that the energy could kind
515
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:49.880
of be anything. I mean, this could be it's a frequency.
516
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.400
You know what I mean?
517
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.900
It could be something of, you know, a ghostly nature
518
00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:55.180
could be something of an alien nature.
519
00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:58.359
Do you think? that was more like a spaceship or something.
520
00:27:58.380 --> 00:28:01.140
I mean, you said orb. So for me, I'm thinking
521
00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:04.640
that might be something on a slightly different.
522
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.380
You're right. I mean, I have no clue at the
523
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.420
end of the day. Like I, I have no clue,
524
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.829
but like, you know, usually like you said, like orbs
525
00:28:12.869 --> 00:28:15.450
are like consciousness, but like it was the fact that
526
00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:17.369
it was just floating up there by itself. And it
527
00:28:17.390 --> 00:28:19.990
was right around the time when like, people were seeing
528
00:28:20.029 --> 00:28:23.430
like all those drones and orbs. Like it was like,
529
00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:25.250
it was in 2024 when there was all of those
530
00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:30.150
drone and orb sightings above like New Jersey and New York. Like, yeah.
531
00:28:30.869 --> 00:28:33.170
I don't know what it was, honestly. You know, I
532
00:28:33.210 --> 00:28:36.049
definitely didn't see a craft at all. I know that like,
533
00:28:36.069 --> 00:28:36.970
you know.
534
00:28:37.750 --> 00:28:37.990
Yeah.
535
00:28:38.069 --> 00:28:41.230
And you know, there's, there's theories of, of a craft
536
00:28:41.289 --> 00:28:45.410
being veiled. So maybe that energetic light could have been
537
00:28:45.569 --> 00:28:49.180
veiling something. And the other thing is one of the
538
00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:52.319
places that, you know, because after you've been doing this
539
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:55.359
for so long, you need the next challenge. For me,
540
00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:58.740
I've been looking at a lot of just imagery from
541
00:28:58.809 --> 00:29:02.430
Mount Shasta and you'll see I've been invited there a
542
00:29:02.450 --> 00:29:05.470
couple of times and have not gone yet. But you
543
00:29:05.509 --> 00:29:07.950
will see like in some of their images, like the
544
00:29:08.009 --> 00:29:10.970
light is different. Like now you might have seen some
545
00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:13.359
of my posts where I'm on, you know, a certain
546
00:29:13.390 --> 00:29:16.390
trail and And you'll see a lot of different energetic
547
00:29:16.490 --> 00:29:21.640
lights that are captured by the camera. But they're always different.
548
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:25.000
They're not always the same color. Sometimes they're blue. Sometimes
549
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.259
they're rainbow. And some of these pictures from Mount Shasta,
550
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:31.920
they're very purple. A lot of the ones that I've
551
00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:34.470
seen are very purple. So for me, I'm kind of like,
552
00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:38.490
I'm being drawn to there. And I'm not quite sure why.
553
00:29:39.650 --> 00:29:41.480
But I'm not... the only one. There's been quite a
554
00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:43.099
few of us being drawn out there.
555
00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:46.740
I wonder what, I wonder what it is. You know,
556
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.099
I honestly, I mean, did you, I know you knew
557
00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:52.640
Rob Potter, like you're, you were friends with Rob Potter. Like,
558
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:54.559
did you, you never went out when you were friends
559
00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:56.680
with Rob? Like, or you just, you just didn't make
560
00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:57.420
it out at that time.
561
00:29:57.829 --> 00:30:02.130
No, Raymond Keller invited me out there. And I think Allie, um,
562
00:30:02.869 --> 00:30:06.339
Sheriff Zeta also had mentioned, um, and sent me some
563
00:30:06.380 --> 00:30:09.960
photographs when Mr. Keller and him were out there. Um,
564
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.859
I did not go out. Like I said, I was
565
00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:16.359
invited a couple of times. Um, I'm considering doing it
566
00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:18.599
next year, but it was.
567
00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:22.079
It was funny. The last, the last event you had, right.
568
00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:24.220
Raymond Keller just kind of posted up and he put
569
00:30:27.789 --> 00:30:29.809
You know, that's true.
570
00:30:30.009 --> 00:30:30.589
That's true.
571
00:30:31.049 --> 00:30:34.769
Um, I, um, I do reserve the tables for the panelists,
572
00:30:35.089 --> 00:30:37.809
but sometimes, um, you know, a.
573
00:30:39.430 --> 00:30:40.470
Friend might come in and.
574
00:30:44.529 --> 00:30:45.490
That was hilarious.
575
00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:47.839
That's great. We love Raymond. We do.
576
00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:50.619
He was just on an event with me in September.
577
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:56.690
Um, I love the legends, you know, like I really
578
00:30:56.750 --> 00:30:58.970
love like, you know, I miss Fred. We were just
579
00:30:58.990 --> 00:31:01.950
talking about Fred. We had our Pittsburgh UFO group say,
580
00:31:01.990 --> 00:31:03.890
by the way, which you're invited to, by the way,
581
00:31:03.930 --> 00:31:06.990
like we not just to come and hang out like,
582
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.799
you know, like we, you know, Megan, the girl who
583
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:12.980
throws it. She said, I mentioned your conference today. And
584
00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:15.519
Megan said she'd like to have you come and speak
585
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.279
if you want to for the group.
586
00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:19.640
I do that at some point. Tell her come out
587
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.660
to our event, too. That would be great.
588
00:31:22.410 --> 00:31:22.609
Yeah.
589
00:31:22.650 --> 00:31:24.990
She's probably, she's probably watching the nights and I'll share
590
00:31:25.029 --> 00:31:28.210
this to the Pittsburgh UFO group, um, Facebook page. So
591
00:31:28.269 --> 00:31:30.410
everybody from there will see it and then we'll get,
592
00:31:30.529 --> 00:31:32.950
you know, hopefully we'll get some more people, you know,
593
00:31:32.970 --> 00:31:36.779
to come to the event and stuff like that, you know? Yeah. Like,
594
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.119
because I think we need to start like merging the
595
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:43.119
people that are all involved in these communities. You know
596
00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:44.519
what I mean? Like we definitely, yeah.
597
00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:45.279
Yeah.
598
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:51.740
And Rob Kauth-Shaylor at the Bethel Park Public Library, he
599
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:52.480
is amazing.
600
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.579
He sets this all up for us. I've gone through.
601
00:31:55.420 --> 00:32:00.619
So many changes on the description of the event because
602
00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:03.609
we had two sponsors added. And like I said, I'm
603
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:07.410
so excited. And just to explain the purpose of having
604
00:32:07.450 --> 00:32:10.569
sponsors is that I don't believe, even though this is
605
00:32:10.690 --> 00:32:15.509
fun for us, I don't believe in my panelist's photographers,
606
00:32:15.730 --> 00:32:19.230
live stream, anybody walking away with nothing. Like I, I
607
00:32:19.369 --> 00:32:23.589
make sure these, these sponsors come in, they give us
608
00:32:23.670 --> 00:32:27.980
gift cards. I pay, um, have like a base amount
609
00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:31.259
of gift cards that I buy for everybody. And then
610
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:34.220
a sponsor comes in and ups that amount. And I'm
611
00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:37.740
hoping to eventually get to the point where, um, they're
612
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:42.029
paying all of the fees that I am incurring and also, um,
613
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.740
giving up to like a hundred or something per person.
614
00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:52.190
And in exchange for that sponsorship, you're getting, you're everywhere.
615
00:32:52.210 --> 00:32:57.250
You're like plastered everywhere online at the panel, on these,
616
00:32:57.309 --> 00:33:01.029
the merch, this is the official merchandise. Everybody gets something official.
617
00:33:01.490 --> 00:33:05.369
So you get a lot back. It's kind of like advertising.
618
00:33:05.390 --> 00:33:07.990
You literally only have to throw out a hundred dollars
619
00:33:08.049 --> 00:33:11.829
if you're a sponsor, $ 200, whatever you feel like doing.
620
00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:15.630
And then you get you know, over 1000s of views.
621
00:33:16.109 --> 00:33:18.630
So your business is kind of getting out there. I
622
00:33:19.109 --> 00:33:21.809
should have should have thought to mention that sooner. But
623
00:33:21.849 --> 00:33:24.750
that is the purpose of this sponsor is to kind of,
624
00:33:25.430 --> 00:33:28.799
you know, create a partnership where my team is being
625
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.460
taken care of. And so is that sponsor. So we
626
00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:34.480
do want to, you know, you know, share that as
627
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:35.680
much as possible as well.
628
00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:37.039
Yeah. Yeah.
629
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:39.440
I'm excited. And who are the sponsors for this year?
630
00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:40.609
We'll give them a shout out now.
631
00:33:41.069 --> 00:33:46.730
Willow Station Restaurant and Bar and Jonathan Stiffy. He's a
632
00:33:46.769 --> 00:33:51.710
MUFON investigator. And if you have like reports of crafts
633
00:33:52.230 --> 00:33:54.450
and things like that, that's what him and then also
634
00:33:54.490 --> 00:33:58.259
Brian Siech and Terry Siech have like the S-Files. They've
635
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.980
been doing this for like over 40 years. They're not
636
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.359
on this particular panel, but there are other people that
637
00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:07.009
I would recommend submitting reports to because You know, they'll
638
00:34:07.029 --> 00:34:08.769
have to draw it if you have, whether you've seen
639
00:34:08.809 --> 00:34:12.389
a cryptid or an alien. So you have Jonathan as
640
00:34:12.429 --> 00:34:15.050
the MUFON investigator, and then you have those two. And
641
00:34:15.070 --> 00:34:17.130
then we have so many other people we've known for
642
00:34:17.170 --> 00:34:19.510
so long that, you know, if you ever have something
643
00:34:19.550 --> 00:34:23.889
you want to report officially, we can get that figured out.
644
00:34:24.769 --> 00:34:27.050
Yeah, absolutely.
645
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:32.599
But, I mean, I guess anybody else, any questions for Christine?
646
00:34:33.150 --> 00:34:35.769
Is there anything else you want to share about the
647
00:34:35.809 --> 00:34:37.969
conference before we finish up or whatever?
648
00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:45.699
Just come out. I'm excited about it. I can't really
649
00:34:45.739 --> 00:34:49.090
think of much else. Come buy some stuff. Donate to
650
00:34:49.110 --> 00:34:49.710
the library.
651
00:34:51.449 --> 00:34:53.579
We don't want to give too much away. Usually like
652
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:55.739
podcasts are by getting out, but like, we, we, we
653
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:57.260
don't want to give too much away. We want you
654
00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:59.099
to watch, we want you to watch the live stream
655
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:00.539
and we want you to come out to the event
656
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:02.800
more so come out to the event because like you
657
00:35:02.820 --> 00:35:05.280
can support the, you can support the sponsors and you
658
00:35:05.300 --> 00:35:07.619
can buy stuff and you can have a great time.
659
00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:10.440
If you're, if you're a local around Pittsburgh or if
660
00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:12.670
you're close to Pittsburgh and you can make it into the,
661
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:17.190
you know, into the city. definitely come and check out
662
00:35:17.230 --> 00:35:19.570
the event. It's worth it. And you get to see
663
00:35:19.610 --> 00:35:20.429
people in person.
664
00:35:20.489 --> 00:35:22.940
It's best in person, I think.
665
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:30.519
Yeah. We all can be online. I do that every day,
666
00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:34.019
but it's great to be in person and be at
667
00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:34.739
one of these, right?
668
00:35:35.590 --> 00:35:36.130
Absolutely.
669
00:35:36.150 --> 00:35:39.070
That's the very best way. I have some personal friends
670
00:35:39.110 --> 00:35:41.429
coming this time around because a lot of people are
671
00:35:41.449 --> 00:35:46.869
very curious about you know, ghostly entities, you know, like
672
00:35:46.889 --> 00:35:50.190
I said, that cross-cultural demonology, people keep asking about that
673
00:35:50.210 --> 00:35:53.429
because nobody wants to talk about malevolent spirits, especially not me.
674
00:35:54.269 --> 00:35:56.510
But I'm happy to hear other people talk about them.
675
00:35:58.110 --> 00:36:01.510
Yeah. Yeah. Well, this was awesome. Yeah. Well, thanks, Christina.
676
00:36:01.590 --> 00:36:03.409
And do you, anything else you want to promote? And,
677
00:36:03.590 --> 00:36:06.670
and yeah, this was, yeah, yeah. You kind of have
678
00:36:06.690 --> 00:36:07.130
the fork.
679
00:36:07.750 --> 00:36:07.989
Yeah.
680
00:36:08.050 --> 00:36:10.860
I mean, I just, I'm, I'm working on, you know,
681
00:36:10.889 --> 00:36:14.269
whenever I get the chance to, I'm working on finishing
682
00:36:14.309 --> 00:36:15.030
a couple of books.
683
00:36:15.150 --> 00:36:16.710
I've been on a.
684
00:36:17.230 --> 00:36:20.309
Lull with that because I do write every day anyway for,
685
00:36:20.489 --> 00:36:21.750
for work.
686
00:36:21.809 --> 00:36:23.030
So I'm always writing.
687
00:36:23.090 --> 00:36:25.920
It's just that I'm trying to get myself together to
688
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:28.639
get like three books out and I've been working on
689
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:33.500
one on earth energy. Another one on a local place that.
690
00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:34.860
Is alleged to be haunted.
691
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:38.309
And then I like a kid's book for some of the,
692
00:36:39.050 --> 00:36:41.599
some of the, cause we're doing some events that are
693
00:36:41.659 --> 00:36:45.840
for like little, little kids, um, teenagers, stuff like that.
694
00:36:45.909 --> 00:36:48.570
And then I'm also going to be at a couple events. This, um,
695
00:36:48.750 --> 00:36:53.329
I just booked horror realm on November 21st and then
696
00:36:53.469 --> 00:36:56.690
Krampus Nosh, which is now going to be at Hofbrau
697
00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:59.090
house this year. So that's going to be pretty cool
698
00:36:59.130 --> 00:37:03.010
and exciting. Um, and then obviously we have our big
699
00:37:03.170 --> 00:37:07.909
huge event in April, 2027, um, if anybody wants to
700
00:37:07.949 --> 00:37:11.030
be like a contributing sponsor and donate like a book
701
00:37:11.070 --> 00:37:14.380
to that, they get us like a smaller bit of recognition,
702
00:37:14.449 --> 00:37:15.420
but still.
703
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.139
Get recognized for that contribution. And then, you know, it's
704
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:22.820
just basically a way to pay the.
705
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:26.639
Team for their wonderful knowledge at these events. You can
706
00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:28.219
learn three hours.
707
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:33.460
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Thank you so much, Christine. And yeah, this,
708
00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:36.110
this was awesome. And yeah, We'll be seeing all you

00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.600
Welcome to the Typical Skeptified Jazz, where we dive deep,
3
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.920
you decide, you decide. Questioning the matrix from UFOs where
4
00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:50.530
the shadows and numbers hide. Rob Khalil busting myths like
5
00:00:50.609 --> 00:00:54.670
ghosts in the night. Paranormal pros, secret space ops. Yo,
6
00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:57.250
we keep it real, no fright, no fright, no fright.
7
00:00:57.729 --> 00:00:58.549
Typical Skeptical.

00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:58.079
and turn on notifications. Hey guys, welcome back to another
11
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.299
episode of the Typical Skeptic Podcast. I'm really excited about
12
00:02:01.340 --> 00:02:04.379
my guest today. Tonight, I welcome back my good friend,
13
00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:09.240
Christine Soltis from Soltis Night Sky Productions. She's an author,
14
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.439
she's a store owner, she's a jewelry designer, and she's
15
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.280
also a private investigator. And she's out of my hometown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
16
00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:22.819
Her interest in alien life, cryptids, and metaphysical ideas began
17
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:25.629
when she was a child. with family stories about creatures
18
00:02:25.669 --> 00:02:29.590
during road trips. Books about these subjects, including time travel stories,
19
00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:32.430
such as like The Lighting by Dean Kuntz, were also
20
00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:35.810
among the items that shaped her existence. Additionally, Christine wrote
21
00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:41.780
her first novel circa 2022, I mean, sorry, 2002, 2003,
22
00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.159
which has been steadily sharpening her writing skills for the
23
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.300
past 23 years. She's crafted 27 books going on 28 books,
24
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.689
including Final Moon, Reclusive 2038, spirit blocker and contract collecting
25
00:02:53.710 --> 00:02:57.330
and controlling karma and more. She's contributed prose to comic
26
00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:00.250
books and has been acted as an editor. And, uh,
27
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:04.139
you know, um, she's the owner of solstice night sky designs,
28
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:08.900
which features handcrafted natural stone jewelry with different healing properties.
29
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.000
There's a metaphysical and native American jewelry influence. Christina is
30
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.000
also an actress and a public speaker with topics on stones, ghosts, aliens,
31
00:03:17.490 --> 00:03:22.110
and collecting controlling karma presentations amongst others. And we're going
32
00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:24.419
to be going over her conference today. I'm going to
33
00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:27.060
add her to the stage in a second, which I'll
34
00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:30.680
be live streaming the event. And, yeah, I'll let her
35
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.250
come on and tell you more about that. But, yeah, Christine,
36
00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:35.090
thanks so much for coming back on. How are you?
37
00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:38.069
Well, thanks for having me. I'm pretty good. Pretty good.
38
00:03:38.150 --> 00:03:40.669
Just keeping busy, you know, usual.
39
00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:46.430
Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Maybe like you said before,
40
00:03:46.469 --> 00:03:48.710
the weather change or something. Something's kind of up in
41
00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:51.509
the air, though, you know? Something seems off about today.
42
00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:52.770
I don't know what it is, you know?
43
00:03:53.449 --> 00:03:56.810
Yeah, it's been like a weirdly exhausting week. I'm not
44
00:03:56.889 --> 00:04:01.569
sure what's going on with that. Maybe we should look
45
00:04:01.610 --> 00:04:03.530
at it astrologically.
46
00:04:03.629 --> 00:04:04.229
I'm not sure.
47
00:04:05.430 --> 00:04:08.409
Yeah, yeah. I just had surgery, too. I don't know
48
00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:09.550
if you saw. I had it.
49
00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:10.469
Yeah, I had it.
50
00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:14.639
I had like two cysts removed from my ankle. It
51
00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:17.160
was like, it was, it was, I mean, I, I
52
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.759
had to have it, it was, had to have it done,
53
00:04:18.850 --> 00:04:20.629
but yeah.
54
00:04:21.089 --> 00:04:21.730
Feeling better.
55
00:04:21.750 --> 00:04:23.269
I mean, it's only been like two days, but is
56
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:24.069
it healing.
57
00:04:23.829 --> 00:04:24.769
Up or how's that?
58
00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:27.569
It's, it's, it's, I have, I have stitches, you know? So,
59
00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:30.180
you know what I mean? Like it's, it's starting to
60
00:04:30.209 --> 00:04:33.259
get there, but yeah. So this conference is going to
61
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.220
be awesome. I'm excited about it. Tell us all about
62
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:37.759
it and yeah. What's going on with this?
63
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.459
Well, it's definitely going to be pretty awesome because, you know,
64
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.779
anybody who's seen the past panels knows that I did
65
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.959
these like in 2013, 14 and 15.
66
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.660
So that was like 13 years ago.
67
00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:54.529
Stopped doing them once I started becoming more heavily involved.
68
00:04:54.230 --> 00:04:54.990
As a PI.
69
00:04:55.430 --> 00:04:57.689
I didn't really have as much time. I do travel
70
00:04:57.730 --> 00:05:02.490
a lot between three states. So as of 2025, I
71
00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:06.629
brought the panels back. So we've already addressed like, you know,
72
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.500
artificial intelligence and UFOs. We've already gone through like the,
73
00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:16.790
you know, the alien abduction theories. We've got the cryptic
74
00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:19.610
panel in April. And now we are going to have
75
00:05:19.730 --> 00:05:24.610
our very first like new ghostly panel. So this one's
76
00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:29.399
called ghostly apparitions and otherworldly beings, because the point of
77
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.339
doing this one is that a lot of people are
78
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.920
kind of mistaken, or they may just think that ghosts
79
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.910
are something simple, that there's just you know, this one
80
00:05:36.990 --> 00:05:39.990
type of entity that there is. But there's a lot
81
00:05:40.009 --> 00:05:43.009
of very educated and intelligent people that, you know, come
82
00:05:43.110 --> 00:05:47.269
onto these panels to just kind of introduce like other
83
00:05:47.329 --> 00:05:50.629
topics or talk about things that they've been studying specifically.
84
00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:55.110
So we're going to have Ed Kellerman doing an introduction
85
00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:56.120
to what is a ghost.
86
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.420
We have Damon Keyes. He's going to be doing the.
87
00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:05.589
Difference between residual energy and an intelligent spirit. We have
88
00:06:05.730 --> 00:06:10.769
Aurora Swanhill doing the Banshee. Ed Kellerman actually also was
89
00:06:10.829 --> 00:06:14.550
in Ireland. So he learned some about the Ireland Banshee.
90
00:06:14.569 --> 00:06:16.310
So he's going to be adding a little bit to that.
91
00:06:17.050 --> 00:06:19.170
We do have Jonathan Grafe, who is going to be
92
00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:24.160
doing cross-cultural demonology. And then we have Ryan O'Shea, who
93
00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:29.500
picked a very interesting topic, ultra-terrestrials, different branches of the
94
00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:32.079
same tree. And we were so lucky enough to have
95
00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:35.350
some pretty cool sponsors too on this one. We have
96
00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:38.949
Willow Station Bar and Restaurant, and we have John Stiffy,
97
00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:44.759
who is a move-on investigator. So it's become a pretty known.
98
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.600
Obviously, we have you. We have the Valley Park Public Library.
99
00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.680
It always hosts these, and it looks like a courtroom,
100
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.379
so it's always funny reading your comments. I wonder how
101
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.430
Mothman's at court today, because the way it's set up,
102
00:06:57.670 --> 00:07:00.790
it does look like a courtroom. But I love that,
103
00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:03.029
because it has a very professional look, and we're giving
104
00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:06.550
off as much you know, education as we possibly can
105
00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:08.029
on that, on those topics.
106
00:07:09.310 --> 00:07:10.009
Yeah.
107
00:07:10.709 --> 00:07:11.350
I forgot.
108
00:07:11.430 --> 00:07:16.709
I didn't mention that we do have two photographers, Kathleen Wilson.
109
00:07:16.790 --> 00:07:20.040
And then we also have this time, Nathaniel Madden. He
110
00:07:20.069 --> 00:07:23.680
hasn't done the, this is going to be his first
111
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:24.839
one doing photography.
112
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.420
So it's going to be cool.
113
00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:30.019
And did you, like, did you use, when I read
114
00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:31.779
your bio, I was saying you kind of grew up
115
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.319
like to kind of come full circle with you kind
116
00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:36.550
of grew up with like stories like this. You remind
117
00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:39.029
me of myself a lot of ways because like, that's
118
00:07:39.149 --> 00:07:40.889
kind of what drew me to this. Like, you know,
119
00:07:40.910 --> 00:07:43.129
like I, I kind of grew up listening to Art Bell,
120
00:07:43.149 --> 00:07:45.629
but before that, like I loved like, you know, when
121
00:07:45.649 --> 00:07:47.629
I was a kid, I loved like the paranormal and
122
00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:50.550
I loved like, you know, reading books about the pyramids
123
00:07:50.610 --> 00:07:53.899
and UFOs and Bigfoot and like whatever I could get
124
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.939
my hands on. And we're about the same age. Like
125
00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:58.680
when we grew up, it was like, it was hard
126
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.540
to come across this stuff. You know what I mean?
127
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.019
Like you have to find it in the library. It
128
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.430
was like a gem then, you know? But now it
129
00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:06.569
seems like we have everything at our fingertips, you know?
130
00:08:07.209 --> 00:08:07.689
It is.
131
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:11.170
And it's been like the, I guess you could probably
132
00:08:11.209 --> 00:08:14.610
say that the paranormal world has become oversaturated. There are
133
00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:16.379
a lot of people that kind of, you know, there
134
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.860
are a lot that have been doing it for decades
135
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:20.540
and decades. And there are a lot who are very
136
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.000
new to it now. It's kind of like become almost trendy.
137
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.310
At this point. So you can find like some things
138
00:08:27.350 --> 00:08:29.810
where you're watching like a podcast and you're just like, oh,
139
00:08:29.829 --> 00:08:32.710
that person really doesn't. know what you're talking about yet.
140
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:36.700
They'll learn, but I always give caution.
141
00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:40.159
Don't believe everything you hear someone saying, even if they're
142
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.000
just like an influencer or something like that, do the research.
143
00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:45.820
Cause that is one thing I've been noticing. I'll watch
144
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.409
something and someone will say something about a particular haunted
145
00:08:49.450 --> 00:08:51.889
place or something. And it's not, it's not even correct.
146
00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:54.309
Like they didn't stop and look at the place. They
147
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:58.360
drove past it, mentioned it and their information was not correct.
148
00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:00.919
And I'm one of those people who I really like
149
00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:05.580
cerebral things. Like if it's, if it requires thought research, that's,
150
00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:09.019
that's where I'm all about. Like anything that's, you know,
151
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.620
intelligently done.
152
00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:13.320
And I'm an investigator. So we don't like when something's
153
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.049
not right. So that it always sticks out like a
154
00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:18.149
sore thumb.
155
00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:20.529
So it's kind of natural that you'll see something and
156
00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:23.269
be like, Oh, that's not right.
157
00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:27.879
Absolutely. Did you ever have any experiences growing up that
158
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.139
you can remember? Like, I know you said.
159
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.200
Yeah. And you know, it's so funny.
160
00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:37.250
I always, I always mentioned this because I'm like a
161
00:09:37.750 --> 00:09:39.610
private public person.
162
00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:42.629
So for a very long time, I didn't really.
163
00:09:42.470 --> 00:09:47.529
Talk about very much of what I do or my experiences,
164
00:09:47.590 --> 00:09:51.190
but I did write about it in spirit blocker inside
165
00:09:51.230 --> 00:09:54.519
the awakening. And I did, I just had one, one
166
00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:57.240
experience when I was probably seven or eight, and I'm
167
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.200
estimating that Cause I have no idea.
168
00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:02.120
I think it was in second grade at that time,
169
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.899
whatever age that would be. So probably like probably around
170
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.059
that seven or eight range.
171
00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:10.679
And, um, it was just that one incident. And then
172
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.259
I said to myself, I just never.
173
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.000
Want to experience anything like that again.
174
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:15.720
It's okay.
175
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.429
I'll stay in like researching it or I'll experience or
176
00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:21.470
I'll try to experience it, but I don't want to
177
00:10:21.529 --> 00:10:24.350
see it. And unfortunately you can't always, you're not always
178
00:10:24.389 --> 00:10:27.730
in charge of what you see. I believe that the
179
00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:31.909
paranormal chooses people that we don't actually always get to choose.
180
00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:35.919
That's a really good point. Yeah. That's a really good point.
181
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.950
And do you, do you, do you feel like, um,
182
00:10:39.289 --> 00:10:41.480
the veil is thinning. Like we are, we are coming
183
00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:43.620
into a time right now, which I think it's the
184
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.240
perfect time for this, this, this panel, which is Halloween. Yeah.
185
00:10:48.259 --> 00:10:51.039
It's like, it's like time when the veil is the
186
00:10:51.110 --> 00:10:51.889
most thin, right?
187
00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:53.450
Yes. Yes.
188
00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:56.149
And that was why I picked this time. And people
189
00:10:56.169 --> 00:10:58.110
were always like, you, you plan these like a year
190
00:10:58.149 --> 00:11:00.149
in advance. Well, yes, you have to get good dates.
191
00:11:00.590 --> 00:11:02.980
If you're not planning it and picking the date, like,
192
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.120
you know, a year in advance, you may not get
193
00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:08.919
something this close to Halloween, which is the most exciting
194
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.399
part too, is having some of these conversations because there's
195
00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:16.639
going to be stuff at this event or, you know,
196
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.539
and even the live stream can see that people may
197
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.659
not be comfortable with. Cross-cultural demonology, for example, a lot
198
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.620
of people are very curious about it, but malevolent spirits
199
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.779
are not on the top of your list of things
200
00:11:27.830 --> 00:11:31.049
you want to meet. So we are going to be,
201
00:11:31.129 --> 00:11:36.440
you know, going through so many different, really just cool topics. Yeah.
202
00:11:37.070 --> 00:11:45.350
I didn't hear what you said. What'd you say? Yeah.
203
00:11:45.470 --> 00:11:45.730
Yeah.
204
00:11:45.769 --> 00:11:49.870
Right. That's hilarious. And, but I was going to say,
205
00:11:49.889 --> 00:11:52.029
so take us through a little bit about the presenters,
206
00:11:52.049 --> 00:11:54.320
like who we have this year is for this. And
207
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.539
by the way, guys, I have to say that, like, I,
208
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.379
I have been lucky to, you know, I've been involved with,
209
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.159
I'm really honored too, that I've been involved with every
210
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.100
single one of Christine's events, whether it's, I've been a,
211
00:12:05.230 --> 00:12:06.950
I've been a panel, I've been on the panel of
212
00:12:07.129 --> 00:12:09.769
one and then I've live streamed the rest of them. So,
213
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.480
you know, it's really, it's really, it helps me build
214
00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:14.919
my resume and it, and it's like, it's really is
215
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.600
an honor. So thank you. Yeah. And like, yeah. Tell
216
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.700
us a little bit more about like each guest and like,
217
00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:21.080
like a little bit.
218
00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:21.539
Yeah.
219
00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:24.340
Well, thank you. First of all, we love having you there.
220
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.720
And you know, I always offer up different panel events, but,
221
00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:30.320
and it looks like you're going to be on the April,
222
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.639
2027 one. Well, we'll go into that some other time, but, Um,
223
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.919
that one's going to be the interplay between cryptids and aliens.
224
00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.720
So we are going to be returning back to our
225
00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:41.450
favorite ones on that.
226
00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:45.909
So what, um, I have the bio, the bio introductions
227
00:12:46.009 --> 00:12:49.149
for all of the people are going to begin tomorrow.
228
00:12:49.289 --> 00:12:53.190
So online October 12th, each day, I'm going to introduce
229
00:12:53.250 --> 00:12:56.649
a new person. We have eight team members and then
230
00:12:56.690 --> 00:13:01.590
we have two sponsors. And we have the venue, the library.
231
00:13:01.690 --> 00:13:04.590
So each day, every person, of course, you're part of
232
00:13:04.610 --> 00:13:07.009
the team member as the live stream and the two
233
00:13:07.049 --> 00:13:11.240
photographers as well. And each day they get the whole day,
234
00:13:11.289 --> 00:13:14.159
like that's the one post, you know, like I'll post
235
00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:17.159
and put their whole bio out there. So when it
236
00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:20.500
comes to our people who are going to be on
237
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.299
this particular one, this is going to be very interesting.
238
00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:25.799
I will say I'm pretty excited about this. I'm just like,
239
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.169
you know, hoping it's not like a, a big war,
240
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.899
but we have different kinds of personalities.
241
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.720
We do have, we'll start with Ryan O'Shea. Ryan O'Shea
242
00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:36.159
does a.
243
00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:39.820
Lot of work in like artificial intelligence and things of
244
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.629
that matter. So he has the skeptical viewpoint. He does do,
245
00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:48.090
you know, the paranormal investigations with Kathleen Wilson as well. And,
246
00:13:48.649 --> 00:13:53.639
you know, he's going to be the one addressing ultra terrestrials. And,
247
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.419
you know, if you've read anything like, you know, John Keel,
248
00:13:56.460 --> 00:13:59.019
he brought up the in the eighth tower, he brought
249
00:13:59.059 --> 00:14:02.500
up the super spectrum and like the only like 10
250
00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:05.049
to 15 percent of people, I guess, can see on
251
00:14:05.090 --> 00:14:09.850
like this other spectrum what exists there, like things that
252
00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:13.379
aren't allegedly on our reality. So that's going to be
253
00:14:13.389 --> 00:14:16.960
very fascinating. That's what Ryan's going to be talking about.
254
00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:21.039
Then we have, and I'll just go on in the
255
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:26.159
order of the flyer, Damon Keyes. Now, Damon Keyes, this
256
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.639
is very interesting, had Outsider Paranormal Group with Fred Tennant
257
00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:35.840
and Chuck Cruiser. Now, they did paranormal investigations, and some
258
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.080
of them could have been, I guess you'd probably say
259
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:43.570
kind of violent entities. But now they don't do them anymore,
260
00:14:43.610 --> 00:14:46.070
as far as I know. But Damon Keyes is now
261
00:14:46.110 --> 00:14:49.990
a pastor. So we're going to have a pastor, you know,
262
00:14:50.049 --> 00:14:54.570
here discussing the that's I like that a lot, you know,
263
00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:58.129
with more of a religious angle coming from him and
264
00:14:58.610 --> 00:14:59.350
in regards.
265
00:14:59.070 --> 00:15:00.029
To these entities.
266
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.799
And then we have Jonathan Grave. Now, Jonathan has a
267
00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:08.980
military background, a medic background, a teacher background, and he's
268
00:15:09.019 --> 00:15:14.110
been studying cross-cultural demonology. He has many artifacts, things you
269
00:15:14.149 --> 00:15:17.350
may not want to touch with your bare hands. Um,
270
00:15:17.889 --> 00:15:20.470
and then we have next, we have Aurora Swan.
271
00:15:20.950 --> 00:15:22.809
What kind of stuff does he have? Does he have
272
00:15:22.830 --> 00:15:23.669
like haunted dolls?
273
00:15:23.889 --> 00:15:26.509
You're going to have to ask him.
274
00:15:26.570 --> 00:15:28.309
He gave me a list, but I'm not going to
275
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:30.149
give out all, I'm not going to, not going to
276
00:15:30.210 --> 00:15:32.590
tell out everything that he has. We're going to save
277
00:15:32.629 --> 00:15:36.429
some of this for the panel, but it's exciting to me. Um,
278
00:15:36.830 --> 00:15:40.330
I'm not touching anything. If he brings it, I'm not
279
00:15:40.370 --> 00:15:44.629
touching them. Um, and then we have, um, next on
280
00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:48.480
our flyer, we have Aurora Swan healed. She is what's
281
00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:52.970
considered to be a psychic medium. So she can, you know, see,
282
00:15:53.070 --> 00:15:56.370
interact with ghostly entities and things like that. She's one
283
00:15:56.409 --> 00:15:58.629
of the few people I know that do like past
284
00:15:58.730 --> 00:16:02.169
life readings, I think. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was
285
00:16:02.230 --> 00:16:05.460
one of the things that she does too. She's been
286
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.580
talking about the Banshee, which is a very interesting.
287
00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:12.179
Creature from folklore and things of that nature. And then
288
00:16:12.220 --> 00:16:16.950
of course we have, lastly, Oh, in my head. Ed Kalman.
289
00:16:17.190 --> 00:16:20.450
Now, Ed Kalman, I've known him for a very long time, too.
290
00:16:20.509 --> 00:16:22.529
I've actually known all of them for a pretty long time.
291
00:16:23.149 --> 00:16:28.350
But Ed specifically has gone out and done like house
292
00:16:28.389 --> 00:16:32.049
blessings or gone to some of my friends' homes just
293
00:16:32.070 --> 00:16:33.960
to kind of see what type of entity is in
294
00:16:34.009 --> 00:16:38.159
that house. I do swear by his sage candles, too.
295
00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:39.919
Oh, I gave you one.
296
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:40.559
That's right.
297
00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:43.539
Whenever you were going through some things, Ed Kalman makes
298
00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:44.480
those sage candles.
299
00:16:46.629 --> 00:16:49.009
By the way, I burned the hell out of that candle.
300
00:16:49.029 --> 00:16:54.120
That was one of the best candles I ever had
301
00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:54.960
in my entire life.
302
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.740
I told Ed to bring some because I'm going to
303
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.750
buy those. I want Jonathan's book on cross-cultural demonology. And
304
00:17:03.789 --> 00:17:06.589
I also want Ed has a book on haunted objects.
305
00:17:07.109 --> 00:17:11.410
Because this panel, aside from them starting with those topics,
306
00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:14.509
we're going to everything. We're going to be talking about
307
00:17:14.549 --> 00:17:19.109
haunted places, haunted objects. There's also theories of, you know,
308
00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:23.559
objects appearing and reappearing. Like, you know, they vanish and
309
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.960
then they come back, things like that. So, and another
310
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.140
thing I want to point out is that there are
311
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.240
certain people that I would like to meet, if any
312
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:34.319
people in your audience or anyone you know of that have,
313
00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:40.819
you know, information on Native American and ghost the apparitions
314
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.119
for future things. Native American and then also witchcraft in
315
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.329
correlation to ghost the entities. I'd love to hear from
316
00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:51.269
potential future panelists. As you know, sometimes we'll do the
317
00:17:51.329 --> 00:17:54.809
live stream where you have someone up on the screen
318
00:17:54.910 --> 00:17:57.269
so they don't have to be local to Pittsburgh to
319
00:17:57.309 --> 00:17:58.000
be part of it.
320
00:17:59.269 --> 00:18:03.859
Yeah, that's cool. Maybe we can run some I have
321
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.880
a lady who comes on. She's an expert in hoodoo
322
00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:10.480
and Santeria and witchcraft. Her name's Miss Aida. She's actually
323
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:16.170
coming on on the day of your event, actually.
324
00:18:16.210 --> 00:18:16.650
That night.
325
00:18:16.910 --> 00:18:22.970
I have her coming on that night. She's just... She
326
00:18:23.009 --> 00:18:25.470
comes on every year around Halloween time on my show.
327
00:18:25.509 --> 00:18:30.740
She's become like a... I don't know. I cannot possibly
328
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.799
have her come on one of your panels, you know?
329
00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:35.859
Um, yeah, well, I do.
330
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.440
Because we've we've covered a lot of topics as of
331
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.660
right now. So I really like a lot of strange things.
332
00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:43.940
And it's it's really the thing that I really like
333
00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:46.799
is that a lot of the people I meet in
334
00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:49.700
my path, they tell me about things I've never heard
335
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.319
of really just weird things.
336
00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:53.940
We do have a friend who's from France and has,
337
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.180
like Spanish gypsy roots.
338
00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:58.599
And I'm like, there's some of the stuff that people
339
00:18:58.660 --> 00:19:00.700
tell you you're like, one of these days, I am
340
00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:03.170
going to be doing a presentation on some of the
341
00:19:03.250 --> 00:19:05.869
strange things that people come to me with. I love
342
00:19:05.910 --> 00:19:09.130
that esoteric stuff. It's just very exciting to me to
343
00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:11.339
see something that's different and strange.
344
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:13.619
Yeah, absolutely.
345
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:14.359
Absolutely.
346
00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:16.819
Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah. And guys, if you have
347
00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:19.380
questions for Christina, if you have questions about the panel,
348
00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:25.140
you know, you know, put them in the chat and, and, and,
349
00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:27.220
and maybe we should tell people the date and stuff.
350
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:31.130
So it's October 24th, 1 PM at the Bethel park library.
351
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.299
Yep.
352
00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:34.660
And then obviously they can watch it on your live
353
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.940
stream if they're not local to Pittsburgh.
354
00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:38.440
It's free. It's a free event.
355
00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:42.950
And I do giveaways. And I'm actually going to do
356
00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:46.109
an interesting one with selenite. The selenite stone is like
357
00:19:46.150 --> 00:19:49.970
a purifying stone. It's supposed to allegedly drive away evil spirits.
358
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.000
So I'm going to have a fun little giveaway with that.
359
00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:56.619
And then I'll sell a couple pieces and books. And
360
00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:59.980
then I do a couple giveaways with tote bags that
361
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.579
have like.
362
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.720
This official flyer, as you can see here. It has
363
00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:06.140
all the people on it. Yeah.
364
00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:12.920
Yeah, it's cool. I'll make one closer to the thing, too,
365
00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:16.180
for the live stream as well. I'll use all the
366
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.539
pictures again, but last year I had to fix the
367
00:20:18.579 --> 00:20:20.839
names because the AI messed it.
368
00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:22.569
Up or whatever. It did.
369
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.299
It gave me a weird V or something on the
370
00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:27.579
top of my head in that new one.
371
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.740
I was like, well, that's interesting.
372
00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:31.609
For real? Oh, shit.
373
00:20:32.490 --> 00:20:35.069
That's all right. I erased it on mine and reposted it.
374
00:20:37.950 --> 00:20:43.460
I was thinking of other questions oh yeah by the
375
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.980
way like Christine said guys it's free to come in
376
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.539
but we just asked you know do you guys support
377
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.740
the presenters that are going to be there because like
378
00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:54.119
people are going to be selling their wares like you
379
00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:56.670
know like the stuff like you know like she said
380
00:20:57.049 --> 00:21:00.089
like so it's not just a conference like tell people
381
00:21:00.109 --> 00:21:01.410
a little bit about that like people are going to
382
00:21:01.470 --> 00:21:03.509
have their items for sale as well too.
383
00:21:03.829 --> 00:21:07.519
Right Yeah, I mean, we know, you know, before we
384
00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:10.380
go there, that this is a very cerebral event and
385
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.700
that we're not having this expectation that we're going to
386
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.130
have a lot of.
387
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.930
Sales because most of the time people are sitting there
388
00:21:14.970 --> 00:21:15.490
the whole time.
389
00:21:16.549 --> 00:21:18.569
You know, before you come in before or you come
390
00:21:18.589 --> 00:21:22.470
in after, you can look at what's there. And there's
391
00:21:22.509 --> 00:21:23.910
just a couple of us that will have books.
392
00:21:23.950 --> 00:21:24.630
It'll be me.
393
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.839
It'll be Jonathan and it will be Ed. I don't
394
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:31.609
think anybody else is bringing anything to sell. And then,
395
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.630
of course, Ed has those candles too, those sage candles.
396
00:21:36.210 --> 00:21:38.069
Yeah, I'll probably do that. I'm going to.
397
00:21:37.950 --> 00:21:40.890
Have some natural stones, protective stones, if you believe in
398
00:21:40.930 --> 00:21:42.150
that kind of thing.
399
00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:46.039
So I might have some natural stones too.
400
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:51.059
Yeah. And I'm just trying to stay on topic.
401
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.880
Well, like, we could even.
402
00:21:55.849 --> 00:21:57.930
One thing I do want to mention is like the
403
00:21:58.049 --> 00:22:01.210
April one that, you know, we haven't really announced yet.
404
00:22:01.289 --> 00:22:03.970
And I know that's six months away from now, but
405
00:22:04.009 --> 00:22:05.789
I just want to kind of put the bug out there.
406
00:22:05.809 --> 00:22:10.150
I guess you'd say that that's a team challenge. So
407
00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:13.440
we will have be having people vote and that'll be,
408
00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:16.400
that could be part of your audience voting on their
409
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:20.400
favorite team. And that team wins, you know, a gift
410
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.259
basket each.
411
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:22.819
Yeah.
412
00:22:23.950 --> 00:22:26.630
Yeah so that's going to be a massive event the
413
00:22:26.690 --> 00:22:29.779
one i'm planning for april so just to uh kind
414
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:31.680
of get your eye out up to um for the
415
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:36.000
team challenge but so it might be this one first
416
00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:38.819
to understand or or see it to understand.
417
00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:42.680
How it goes yeah that's cool that's really cool yeah
418
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.700
um uh let me see here if anybody else has
419
00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:50.579
any if anybody has any questions and um Did you,
420
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.759
speaking of which, have you ever, I know I asked
421
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:55.880
you if you had a paranormal encounter. Have you ever
422
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.019
had like a UFO encounter that you can think of?
423
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:03.680
Well, that's an interesting question because I have friends who,
424
00:23:04.299 --> 00:23:07.470
I've always liked science. We used to sit outside at
425
00:23:07.569 --> 00:23:10.650
night out by Washington, PA. We would watch like shooting
426
00:23:10.690 --> 00:23:13.690
stars and things like that. And then I was also
427
00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:18.339
driving around. through like Meadowlands, Houston area one day. And
428
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.019
a couple of times I saw what looked like a
429
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.869
kind of like a fireball in the sky. And for me,
430
00:23:22.910 --> 00:23:27.049
I'm just thinking that's a natural, you know, earth or,
431
00:23:27.109 --> 00:23:30.289
I mean, you know, meteorite or something. I don't know
432
00:23:30.329 --> 00:23:32.190
what I was thinking it was. I didn't think that
433
00:23:32.609 --> 00:23:36.079
that could be a spaceship, but somebody else told me
434
00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:39.259
that you saw a spaceship. And I'm like, I don't
435
00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:42.140
know if I classify that as one or not, but
436
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.359
it was just kind of like a fireball. Like when, but,
437
00:23:45.769 --> 00:23:47.950
I can't confirm that, you know, I don't have any
438
00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:50.809
video footage of it. I didn't take any pictures of it.
439
00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:53.059
It's just like I was driving down the road and
440
00:23:53.099 --> 00:23:55.519
saw it, you know, so things like that.
441
00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:58.400
I can ask you a question. Is that where you
442
00:23:58.420 --> 00:24:03.660
grew up out by what Meadowlands or Washington? Yeah. I
443
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.009
know that place. We used to like back when I
444
00:24:06.049 --> 00:24:08.529
was young, this and listen to this, like we used
445
00:24:08.549 --> 00:24:10.690
to like, we used to listen to our bell on
446
00:24:10.710 --> 00:24:13.230
the radio and drive out to the waffle house out there.
447
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:15.809
From all the way out where I live, we would
448
00:24:15.849 --> 00:24:18.890
drive out there, and we would go on burn runs,
449
00:24:19.349 --> 00:24:21.390
and we would listen to Art Bell, and then we
450
00:24:21.430 --> 00:24:24.150
would go get breakfast at the Waffle House and stuff.
451
00:24:24.589 --> 00:24:29.880
It was a fascinating time to be alive. I don't know.
452
00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:32.400
You just made me think of that. I also know
453
00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:35.519
about the Washington, D.A. because of the Meadowlands. The Meadows
454
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.339
is out there, right?
455
00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:37.220
Yeah.
456
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.619
I don't live out there now, but when I was
457
00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:43.289
way younger. But I was just driving out there because,
458
00:24:43.509 --> 00:24:46.150
you know, family lives out there. But I was driving
459
00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:48.650
through at night. And I like to work at night
460
00:24:48.690 --> 00:24:55.200
a lot. Prefer it. But I haven't really seen. You
461
00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:56.839
would think I would see.
462
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.900
More because of all the travel.
463
00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:02.339
Like I am in some of the areas that have
464
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.400
the most incidents, like down by Point Pleasant, down by Flatwoods.
465
00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:08.380
I can't even say how many times I've been down
466
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.829
by Flatwoods for work. how many times I've passed the exit,
467
00:25:12.250 --> 00:25:15.450
so many times. And I've even been in, you know,
468
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:21.279
Grafton and woodsy areas, nothing. So I haven't seen quite
469
00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:23.599
as much as other people would have. I would probably
470
00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:26.849
say that, you know, like I said, back in the day,
471
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.430
I decided I didn't really want to see things. So
472
00:25:29.490 --> 00:25:32.210
I might not be on that spectrum of people who can.
473
00:25:32.230 --> 00:25:36.769
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, that's interesting.
474
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.279
Yeah, and the more, someone brought it up one day,
475
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.960
and then I also read about it, and I was like,
476
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.720
you know what, this kind of, it does seem like
477
00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:49.559
there may just be certain people who can.
478
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.859
Yeah, yeah, so maybe, I would tell you, it kind
479
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:58.569
of goes into, like, what the guy on the panel said, like,
480
00:25:58.950 --> 00:26:02.990
Ryan O'Shea, when he said he's going to talk about ultra-terrestrials, like,
481
00:26:03.390 --> 00:26:07.140
some of us can see like, like a different light
482
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.180
frequency or like from the light spectrum. It's like, they
483
00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:13.769
say that a lot of us only see like 1%
484
00:26:13.769 --> 00:26:16.910
or 5% of the visible light spectrum. Like that means
485
00:26:16.970 --> 00:26:20.309
some people can see beyond that. Some people have like a,
486
00:26:20.809 --> 00:26:24.259
like a spectrum. It's not, not, not really. No. Would you,
487
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:25.380
do you think that's what it is?
488
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.619
Yeah, I do. I do.
489
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:33.359
Um, Uh, I don't know what, but short of, you know,
490
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.920
experimenting on people, I don't know how you can determine
491
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.099
what made the difference. And I wouldn't, I'm not going
492
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.099
to suggest experimenting on people.
493
00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:43.640
I'll tell you what, one day I had a, I
494
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.329
had a weird experience. Like I live in lower, around
495
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.890
near the lower borough area, if you know where that is. And, and, uh, I, uh,
496
00:26:51.450 --> 00:26:54.049
I was, I was coming to, uh, I was, I
497
00:26:54.069 --> 00:26:57.170
was walking up by the BP the one day and, uh,
498
00:26:57.390 --> 00:27:00.829
I saw, um, I, I was, I was, I I've
499
00:27:00.869 --> 00:27:03.410
told this many times on my podcast, but like, you know,
500
00:27:03.450 --> 00:27:06.170
this is the honest to God truth. Like I like
501
00:27:06.170 --> 00:27:08.750
300 feet above the BP and nobody stopped to look
502
00:27:08.789 --> 00:27:13.259
at this. Nothing. There was like this like shape-shifting plasmoid orb.
503
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:16.559
It was turning like green and purple and it reminded
504
00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:19.160
me something out of like, Jaime Masan's like UFOs over
505
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.440
Mexico or something like it was, it was, it was fascinating.
506
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:24.960
And like, I stopped, I tried getting my phone. When
507
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.960
I tried to get my phone, it literally blurred out
508
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.829
my camera. And like it was it was the weirdest
509
00:27:29.849 --> 00:27:32.190
thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Like that's
510
00:27:32.250 --> 00:27:35.009
the closest I have to a UFO sighting, you know?
511
00:27:35.450 --> 00:27:35.950
Oh, yeah.
512
00:27:36.009 --> 00:27:38.769
Well, I mean, do you think that was a UFO
513
00:27:38.890 --> 00:27:42.410
or something more? Because, you know, a lot of.
514
00:27:42.410 --> 00:27:46.519
People say that, you know, that the energy could kind
515
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:49.880
of be anything. I mean, this could be it's a frequency.
516
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.400
You know what I mean?
517
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:52.900
It could be something of, you know, a ghostly nature
518
00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:55.180
could be something of an alien nature.
519
00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:58.359
Do you think? that was more like a spaceship or something.
520
00:27:58.380 --> 00:28:01.140
I mean, you said orb. So for me, I'm thinking
521
00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:04.640
that might be something on a slightly different.
522
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.380
You're right. I mean, I have no clue at the
523
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.420
end of the day. Like I, I have no clue,
524
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.829
but like, you know, usually like you said, like orbs
525
00:28:12.869 --> 00:28:15.450
are like consciousness, but like it was the fact that
526
00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:17.369
it was just floating up there by itself. And it
527
00:28:17.390 --> 00:28:19.990
was right around the time when like, people were seeing
528
00:28:20.029 --> 00:28:23.430
like all those drones and orbs. Like it was like,
529
00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:25.250
it was in 2024 when there was all of those
530
00:28:25.329 --> 00:28:30.150
drone and orb sightings above like New Jersey and New York. Like, yeah.
531
00:28:30.869 --> 00:28:33.170
I don't know what it was, honestly. You know, I
532
00:28:33.210 --> 00:28:36.049
definitely didn't see a craft at all. I know that like,
533
00:28:36.069 --> 00:28:36.970
you know.
534
00:28:37.750 --> 00:28:37.990
Yeah.
535
00:28:38.069 --> 00:28:41.230
And you know, there's, there's theories of, of a craft
536
00:28:41.289 --> 00:28:45.410
being veiled. So maybe that energetic light could have been
537
00:28:45.569 --> 00:28:49.180
veiling something. And the other thing is one of the
538
00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:52.319
places that, you know, because after you've been doing this
539
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:55.359
for so long, you need the next challenge. For me,
540
00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:58.740
I've been looking at a lot of just imagery from
541
00:28:58.809 --> 00:29:02.430
Mount Shasta and you'll see I've been invited there a
542
00:29:02.450 --> 00:29:05.470
couple of times and have not gone yet. But you
543
00:29:05.509 --> 00:29:07.950
will see like in some of their images, like the
544
00:29:08.009 --> 00:29:10.970
light is different. Like now you might have seen some
545
00:29:11.009 --> 00:29:13.359
of my posts where I'm on, you know, a certain
546
00:29:13.390 --> 00:29:16.390
trail and And you'll see a lot of different energetic
547
00:29:16.490 --> 00:29:21.640
lights that are captured by the camera. But they're always different.
548
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:25.000
They're not always the same color. Sometimes they're blue. Sometimes
549
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.259
they're rainbow. And some of these pictures from Mount Shasta,
550
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:31.920
they're very purple. A lot of the ones that I've
551
00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:34.470
seen are very purple. So for me, I'm kind of like,
552
00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:38.490
I'm being drawn to there. And I'm not quite sure why.
553
00:29:39.650 --> 00:29:41.480
But I'm not... the only one. There's been quite a
554
00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:43.099
few of us being drawn out there.
555
00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:46.740
I wonder what, I wonder what it is. You know,
556
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.099
I honestly, I mean, did you, I know you knew
557
00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:52.640
Rob Potter, like you're, you were friends with Rob Potter. Like,
558
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:54.559
did you, you never went out when you were friends
559
00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:56.680
with Rob? Like, or you just, you just didn't make
560
00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:57.420
it out at that time.
561
00:29:57.829 --> 00:30:02.130
No, Raymond Keller invited me out there. And I think Allie, um,
562
00:30:02.869 --> 00:30:06.339
Sheriff Zeta also had mentioned, um, and sent me some
563
00:30:06.380 --> 00:30:09.960
photographs when Mr. Keller and him were out there. Um,
564
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.859
I did not go out. Like I said, I was
565
00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:16.359
invited a couple of times. Um, I'm considering doing it
566
00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:18.599
next year, but it was.
567
00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:22.079
It was funny. The last, the last event you had, right.
568
00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:24.220
Raymond Keller just kind of posted up and he put
569
00:30:27.789 --> 00:30:29.809
You know, that's true.
570
00:30:30.009 --> 00:30:30.589
That's true.
571
00:30:31.049 --> 00:30:34.769
Um, I, um, I do reserve the tables for the panelists,
572
00:30:35.089 --> 00:30:37.809
but sometimes, um, you know, a.
573
00:30:39.430 --> 00:30:40.470
Friend might come in and.
574
00:30:44.529 --> 00:30:45.490
That was hilarious.
575
00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:47.839
That's great. We love Raymond. We do.
576
00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:50.619
He was just on an event with me in September.
577
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:56.690
Um, I love the legends, you know, like I really
578
00:30:56.750 --> 00:30:58.970
love like, you know, I miss Fred. We were just
579
00:30:58.990 --> 00:31:01.950
talking about Fred. We had our Pittsburgh UFO group say,
580
00:31:01.990 --> 00:31:03.890
by the way, which you're invited to, by the way,
581
00:31:03.930 --> 00:31:06.990
like we not just to come and hang out like,
582
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.799
you know, like we, you know, Megan, the girl who
583
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:12.980
throws it. She said, I mentioned your conference today. And
584
00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:15.519
Megan said she'd like to have you come and speak
585
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.279
if you want to for the group.
586
00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:19.640
I do that at some point. Tell her come out
587
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.660
to our event, too. That would be great.
588
00:31:22.410 --> 00:31:22.609
Yeah.
589
00:31:22.650 --> 00:31:24.990
She's probably, she's probably watching the nights and I'll share
590
00:31:25.029 --> 00:31:28.210
this to the Pittsburgh UFO group, um, Facebook page. So
591
00:31:28.269 --> 00:31:30.410
everybody from there will see it and then we'll get,
592
00:31:30.529 --> 00:31:32.950
you know, hopefully we'll get some more people, you know,
593
00:31:32.970 --> 00:31:36.779
to come to the event and stuff like that, you know? Yeah. Like,
594
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.119
because I think we need to start like merging the
595
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:43.119
people that are all involved in these communities. You know
596
00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:44.519
what I mean? Like we definitely, yeah.
597
00:31:45.059 --> 00:31:45.279
Yeah.
598
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:51.740
And Rob Kauth-Shaylor at the Bethel Park Public Library, he
599
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:52.480
is amazing.
600
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.579
He sets this all up for us. I've gone through.
601
00:31:55.420 --> 00:32:00.619
So many changes on the description of the event because
602
00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:03.609
we had two sponsors added. And like I said, I'm
603
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:07.410
so excited. And just to explain the purpose of having
604
00:32:07.450 --> 00:32:10.569
sponsors is that I don't believe, even though this is
605
00:32:10.690 --> 00:32:15.509
fun for us, I don't believe in my panelist's photographers,
606
00:32:15.730 --> 00:32:19.230
live stream, anybody walking away with nothing. Like I, I
607
00:32:19.369 --> 00:32:23.589
make sure these, these sponsors come in, they give us
608
00:32:23.670 --> 00:32:27.980
gift cards. I pay, um, have like a base amount
609
00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:31.259
of gift cards that I buy for everybody. And then
610
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:34.220
a sponsor comes in and ups that amount. And I'm
611
00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:37.740
hoping to eventually get to the point where, um, they're
612
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:42.029
paying all of the fees that I am incurring and also, um,
613
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.740
giving up to like a hundred or something per person.
614
00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:52.190
And in exchange for that sponsorship, you're getting, you're everywhere.
615
00:32:52.210 --> 00:32:57.250
You're like plastered everywhere online at the panel, on these,
616
00:32:57.309 --> 00:33:01.029
the merch, this is the official merchandise. Everybody gets something official.
617
00:33:01.490 --> 00:33:05.369
So you get a lot back. It's kind of like advertising.
618
00:33:05.390 --> 00:33:07.990
You literally only have to throw out a hundred dollars
619
00:33:08.049 --> 00:33:11.829
if you're a sponsor, $ 200, whatever you feel like doing.
620
00:33:12.390 --> 00:33:15.630
And then you get you know, over 1000s of views.
621
00:33:16.109 --> 00:33:18.630
So your business is kind of getting out there. I
622
00:33:19.109 --> 00:33:21.809
should have should have thought to mention that sooner. But
623
00:33:21.849 --> 00:33:24.750
that is the purpose of this sponsor is to kind of,
624
00:33:25.430 --> 00:33:28.799
you know, create a partnership where my team is being
625
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.460
taken care of. And so is that sponsor. So we
626
00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:34.480
do want to, you know, you know, share that as
627
00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:35.680
much as possible as well.
628
00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:37.039
Yeah. Yeah.
629
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:39.440
I'm excited. And who are the sponsors for this year?
630
00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:40.609
We'll give them a shout out now.
631
00:33:41.069 --> 00:33:46.730
Willow Station Restaurant and Bar and Jonathan Stiffy. He's a
632
00:33:46.769 --> 00:33:51.710
MUFON investigator. And if you have like reports of crafts
633
00:33:52.230 --> 00:33:54.450
and things like that, that's what him and then also
634
00:33:54.490 --> 00:33:58.259
Brian Siech and Terry Siech have like the S-Files. They've
635
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.980
been doing this for like over 40 years. They're not
636
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.359
on this particular panel, but there are other people that
637
00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:07.009
I would recommend submitting reports to because You know, they'll
638
00:34:07.029 --> 00:34:08.769
have to draw it if you have, whether you've seen
639
00:34:08.809 --> 00:34:12.389
a cryptid or an alien. So you have Jonathan as
640
00:34:12.429 --> 00:34:15.050
the MUFON investigator, and then you have those two. And
641
00:34:15.070 --> 00:34:17.130
then we have so many other people we've known for
642
00:34:17.170 --> 00:34:19.510
so long that, you know, if you ever have something
643
00:34:19.550 --> 00:34:23.889
you want to report officially, we can get that figured out.
644
00:34:24.769 --> 00:34:27.050
Yeah, absolutely.
645
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:32.599
But, I mean, I guess anybody else, any questions for Christine?
646
00:34:33.150 --> 00:34:35.769
Is there anything else you want to share about the
647
00:34:35.809 --> 00:34:37.969
conference before we finish up or whatever?
648
00:34:38.909 --> 00:34:45.699
Just come out. I'm excited about it. I can't really
649
00:34:45.739 --> 00:34:49.090
think of much else. Come buy some stuff. Donate to
650
00:34:49.110 --> 00:34:49.710
the library.
651
00:34:51.449 --> 00:34:53.579
We don't want to give too much away. Usually like
652
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:55.739
podcasts are by getting out, but like, we, we, we
653
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:57.260

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:59.099

655
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:00.539

659
00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:10.440
If you're, if you're a local around Pittsburgh or if
660
00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:12.670
you're close to Pittsburgh and you can make it into the,
661

662
00:35:17.230 --> 00:35:19.570
the event. It's worth it. And you get to see
663
00:35:19.610 --> 00:35:20.429
people in person.
664
00:35:20.489 --> 00:35:22.940
It's best in person, I think.
665
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:30.519
Yeah. We all can be online. I do that every day,
666
00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:34.019
but it's great to be in person and be at
667
00:35:34.099 --> 00:35:34.739
one of these, right?
668
00:35:35.590 --> 00:35:36.130
Absolutely.
669
00:35:36.150 --> 00:35:39.070
That's the very best way. I have some personal friends
670
00:35:39.110 --> 00:35:41.429
coming this time around because a lot of people are
671
00:35:41.449 --> 00:35:46.869
very curious about you know, ghostly entities, you know, like
672
00:35:46.889 --> 00:35:50.190
I said, that cross-cultural demonology, people keep asking about that
673
00:35:50.210 --> 00:35:53.429
because nobody wants to talk about malevolent spirits, especially not me.
674
00:35:54.269 --> 00:35:56.510
But I'm happy to hear other people talk about them.
675
00:35:58.110 --> 00:36:01.510
Yeah. Yeah. Well, this was awesome. Yeah. Well, thanks, Christina.
676
00:36:01.590 --> 00:36:03.409
And do you, anything else you want to promote? And,
677
00:36:03.590 --> 00:36:06.670
and yeah, this was, yeah, yeah. You kind of have
678
00:36:06.690 --> 00:36:07.130
the fork.
679
00:36:07.750 --> 00:36:07.989
Yeah.
680
00:36:08.050 --> 00:36:10.860
I mean, I just, I'm, I'm working on, you know,
681
00:36:10.889 --> 00:36:14.269
whenever I get the chance to, I'm working on finishing
682
00:36:14.309 --> 00:36:15.030
a couple of books.
683
00:36:15.150 --> 00:36:16.710
I've been on a.
684
00:36:17.230 --> 00:36:20.309
Lull with that because I do write every day anyway for,
685
00:36:20.489 --> 00:36:21.750
for work.
686
00:36:21.809 --> 00:36:23.030
So I'm always writing.
687
00:36:23.090 --> 00:36:25.920
It's just that I'm trying to get myself together to
688
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:28.639
get like three books out and I've been working on
689
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:33.500
one on earth energy. Another one on a local place that.
690
00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:34.860
Is alleged to be haunted.
691
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:38.309
And then I like a kid's book for some of the,
692
00:36:39.050 --> 00:36:41.599
some of the, cause we're doing some events that are
693
00:36:41.659 --> 00:36:45.840
for like little, little kids, um, teenagers, stuff like that.
694
00:36:45.909 --> 00:36:48.570
And then I'm also going to be at a couple events. This, um,
695
00:36:48.750 --> 00:36:53.329
I just booked horror realm on November 21st and then
696
00:36:53.469 --> 00:36:56.690
Krampus Nosh, which is now going to be at Hofbrau
697
00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:59.090
house this year. So that's going to be pretty cool
698
00:36:59.130 --> 00:37:03.010
and exciting. Um, and then obviously we have our big
699
00:37:03.170 --> 00:37:07.909
huge event in April, 2027, um, if anybody wants to
700
00:37:07.949 --> 00:37:11.030
be like a contributing sponsor and donate like a book
701
00:37:11.070 --> 00:37:14.380
to that, they get us like a smaller bit of recognition,
702
00:37:14.449 --> 00:37:15.420
but still.
703
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.139
Get recognized for that contribution. And then, you know, it's
704
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:22.820
just basically a way to pay the.
705
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:26.639
Team for their wonderful knowledge at these events. You can
706
00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:28.219
