aliens n more

we have wondered if there was other life out there. Asked the question, “Are we alone?” have we been visited by alien civilizations? - Our galaxy is in existence for more then 10 billion years, so in principle, if you take the life forms actually started within the last five billion years. There is still enough time to do this, absolutely. - [Dennis] Now, more and more people, ordinary people like these, are coming forward with reports of their contact with the paraphysical. Contact with something that dramatically changed their lives. Contact with UAPs, unexplained aerial phenomenon, formerly called UFOs. And contact through interdimensional telepathic communication with unknown intelligences. And with, surprisingly, Bigfoot, an elusive, magical, human-like being. - They’ve had a weird experience like mine, where they’ve seen either footprints. They’ve got something thrown something at ‘em. They went out deer hunting, a big rock comes up and whacks the side of the tree. Or they see one, and then at that point, they become obsessed. And you can’t blame them. They want answers. Their life changed. - When I first started, every Bigfoot person, they wanna prove Bigfoot exists. Partially because they’ve gotten some flack from a friend or a relative. I don’t do it for that anymore. In fact, half the time, I don’t even have a camera on me. I do it for my own personal experiences. When you’re out and you’re having experiences, you feel like the man on the moon or the first woman on the moon. - It’s a customized, personal experience for everyone. I don’t think that … I would have a hard time putting it in a box or compartmentalizing it. I guess you’d have to maybe call it spiritual, ‘cause it’s just so personal. - [Dennis] No longer afraid of ridicule, people are coming out of the shadows with their contact reports and have formed communities of shared experiences. - You live long enough, you’ve seen things that you can’t explain. And I think every one of us has seen it, whether we think it’s something that we just imagined or we put in the back of our minds, and I think probably a lot of people have this phenomenon. But until you have TV and the Internet, everybody can’t communicate about it, because most of us just put in the back of the minds and it disappears from their reality because it isn’t something … It’s almost like this event that happened maybe twice or three times. It doesn’t keep happening and there’s really no point in talking because most people aren’t even going to believe you. - It sort of turned your whole world upside down and what you believe to be real and not real. It’s totally out of the realm of anything you’ve experienced in your life. It’s not like anything you’ve thought of your whole entire life, so when you see something that does not match up with your known database in your brain as what exists, it really throws you for a loop. - And now it’s happening in the UFO arena, so is it just that we’ve transposed this process to a technology and a language that appeals to us now? People are not talking about fairies the way people talked about some of these same things hundreds of years ago. So maybe just the clothing of the experience has changed to suit our modern age, but the process seems to remain fairly consistent throughout the ages and it results in the same sort of thing. Transformation of consciousness, which affects the body, affects how we think, how we interact with each other, and awakening of what in spiritual terms would be called superpowers. - [Dennis] This possibility of transformational alien contact is being studied by serious investigators across the planet looking for answers. Today, many of those investigators suspect that the facts and knowledge of extraterrestrial contact are being kept secret and have been kept secret by governments around the globe. - [Operator] It was at (in foreign language), and I was sitting there waiting at the flight ops desk to try and look at the schedule to see when an outgoing flight was that I was trying to catch, and the ops desk people were actually out loud, in public, discussing the previous night’s UFO activity. And then I was brutally shocked. I was like, “You guys are saying this out loud?” And they were like, “We’re not just saying it out loud. “We’re logging it. “We’re documenting it. “Our CEO is tired of this stuff.” I don’t know that he wasn’t forced to retire, but he was trying to document it and put it out there ‘cause he was tired of it being secret. - [Dennis] The secrecy of the UFO phenomenon, if at Area 51 or anywhere else, is based on the Pateal Institute report in the 50s that was conducted by the CIA, who indicated to the CIA and to the US Military that we have to belittle and make fun of the people and organizations that believe in the UFOs to maintain the secrecy that we need to have with this. Because if we let this information out, there could be sociological, religious, monetary crisis’ that would develop should people know that there is someone out in the universe that’s smarter than we are. - Anybody who says secrets can’t be kept is saying, “Well I don’t know about any, so there must not be any,” which is a very self-centered and egotistical and inappropriate way of thinking about things. Secrets can be kept and are being kept all the time. - At some stage, after Bluebook, the US did get a program, the infamous AATIP, Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. But there is little or no exchange of information between US and UK, France, certainly not with any nation where perhaps relations aren’t that good. So we certainly don’t, for example, in the UK and the US, exchange information with Russia or China. But even between the US and the UK, or Germany, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, where there is a lot of information sharing for example on intelligence programs. We don’t exchange UFO information. - One of the things that’s happening right now is there’s all these deathbed confessions going on. There’s all these baby boomers who are going away, who are retired, and they don’t wanna take these secrets to their grave. So we’re learning a whole bunch of stuff these days by people who were sworn to secrecy but are finally deciding, “I’m tired of keeping this secret “and I don’t understand why this needs “to be a secret that’s kept from humanity.” - [Dennis] Now, instead of looking to distant solar systems for extraterrestrial life, many experts are coming to believe through experience and contact reports that aliens are already here observing us. This is not new. What is new for mainstream science is a high probability that aliens are with us in the form of Bigfoot, and it must be considered smarter than we are. - The first time someone sees Bigfoot run across the road, they see an animal, an undiscovered ape. After investigating that topic for decades, if they stay with it, they’re thinking it is probably going to evolve. Certainly did for me. - [Dennis] There is a strong case to be made that Bigfoot, or as they are called by native people, Sasquatch, are in fact non-human intelligent alien beings. - What really interests me are some of the weirder aspects of the Bigfoot phenomenon, where people have claimed to seen these creatures and they sort of vanished in a flash of light, or they’ve literally just almost dissolved. Or they’ve been seen in conjunction with strange little balls of light flitting around the woods, sort of the size of tennis balls. Maybe sometime the size of a basketball. And the creatures have been seen in an almost exactly the same location and the same times. But then you have other cases where people have claimed to have seen sort of huge objects, flying saucers, UFOs in the areas. For example, in 1973 in Pennsylvania, there was a huge wave of Bigfoot/UFO activity throughout Pennsylvania, predominantly in the forested areas. And Stan Gordon, a researcher who’s still in the field today, did a lot of really good research into that. And in some of those cases, they were talking about blurry lights. They were tall, fuzzy lights. They were talking about solid craft of some sort of kind. - [Dennis] In addition to the Pennsylvania sightings of UFOs and Bigfoot together, the other place that awakened the world to a possible connection between the two phenomena was around the small town situated on the Hickory Apache Reservation on the New Mexico-Colorado border. Dulce, New Mexico is part of the San Luis valley, an extensive valley nestled between two mountain ranges extending from the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Southern Colorado to the Taos Plateau in New Mexico. In addition to it’s extraordinary beauty, the valley is known as one of the nation’s premiere hotspots for paranormal phenomenon and events. Events ranging from haunted hotels, the black helicopters, to cattle mutilations, to the well-documented Aztec-New Mexico UFO crash, to interdimensional portals and vortexes, to local Native American legends of skin walkers, and of course, to Bigfoot and unidentified aerial phenomena sightings. A focal point for paranormal activity in the valley is the UFO Watchtower north of Hooper, Colorado. It is run by Judy Messoline, a local cattle rancher. She is well aware of the arguments that major paraphysical occurrences are clustered together geographically. In her case, two vortexes next to the Watchtower, where people bring offerings to a supposed gateway to a higher dimension. - And this garden back here, it’s got two large vortexes, and it’s amazing how people can pick up the energy from those vortexes. And others, when they see a UFO, then they’re body reacts differently and they say that they are just filled with lots of love, so that’s not bad. I know that there is definitely something going on, and let’s face it, this cosmos is too dang big for there not to be life someplace else. And I feel that that life is in a different dimension. They can pop in and out at will. (twinkling music) - [Dennis] Not long ago, the military came to the Watchtower. - I had the Navy come visit me here a couple years ago, and they spent a couple of hours here and I don’t know why. I just know they came. So they sent me their report and it goes on and on and at the end it says, “Non-human intelligence, not from this world.” That’s what it said at the end of the report, and this is the Navy. - [Dennis] Although the Watchtower has all the characteristics of a paraphysical hotspot, it can easily be dismissed as a tourist trap. This is not the case with what’s been going on at Dulce, New Mexico. - I have seen strange things in this community. I did stop a van one night about 2 o’clock and the morning. I remember a New Mexico plate. There was a cage in the back of the van, and there was two military personnels. One was driving, one was on the passenger side, and both of them were heavily armed. And these guys were special ops guys. They weren’t regular military soldiers. I could tell they were special ops. All they told me was, “Just let it go. “Let us go, don’t worry about it.” That’s what I did, I just walked away. I just let ‘em go and I never talk about it until recently I told some people. - [Dennis] It’s modern paranormal history dates back to the early 1980s, when Paul Bennewitz, a businessman, believed he had located a secret joint alien and military facility that he called Dulce Base, located deep in the (in foreign language) mountain, overlooking the city. By 1982, Bennewitz began to spread his ideas regarding Dulce Base to others in the ufology community. In 1988, Bennewitz wrote a paper entitled Project Beta. Since then, reports of all manner of paraphysical activity, including Bigfoot and UFO sightings, and surprisingly, constant cases of unusual military presence, continue to this day. If you go to the reservation, nearly everybody has stories of their own paranormal contact experience. However, ask them to go on camera, the typical response is politely, “No way.” One exception is a full-blooded Apache, Dory Vigil, a Bigfoot and alien investigator. He believes Bigfoot and aliens are connected. - Even little kids once in a while, they’ll be running around today and they’ll see something in the air. Or sometimes they go to the river or something, or the lake, and they hear that noise of some kind or a knocking, some kind of (mumbles). And sometimes the light, all of a sudden go over here on this other side. There’s orbs out there. You can go out there about maybe 10:00 to 11:00 in the nighttime. You just park there and there here comes the orbs. Big ol’ orbs about this big. And this about maybe goes to the probably around this big right here and nothing but that light shines all the way around, but it stops to a certain point. And after that, and it flies around. It goes around a vehicles and everything, then heads off. And after that, there was this one episode. There’s other episodes where other people seen the same thing, so we marked it off or whatever where you can actually go and look at it if you’re out-of-towners. But we don’t recommend for them to go out of the reservation without a travel member. - [Dennis] Dulce is surrounded by rugged forested mountains, well-known as Bigfoot habitat. - Just last week, in fact, maybe four days, five days ago, yeah. There’s a lake here called Stone Lake, and this Stone Lake right there on the east side right there. I have a witness, too. I have a witness that was with me that time and after that, we saw Bigfoot from across the lake, and it was walking, real big giant one. A big ol’ black something right there. And my girlfriend saw it and everything. “Look at it, look at it.” And I said, “Are you serious? “Are you serious?” So all of a sudden after that, says, “Yeah, I see it.” I see it all the time, so next following day, we went back over there before that rain and we got footprints and stuff. I got pictures of footprints from over there, and even where it sat down. The footprints were pretty decent size and everything and all that. - [Dennis] Relatives of Dory, Tim Anderson, a former reservation policeman, and his son, Francisco, are determined to make contact with Bigfoot. They have identified a couple of locations in the high mountains of the reservation where Bigfoot occasionally makes their presence known. Tim and Francisco agree to take us to one of these places. Unlike the typical Bigfoot hunters, these men are well armed. - A medicine man, one time he told me that, “A lot of people don’t believe it, “but we live in parallel world,” he said. Said there’s a parallel world next to us. Said that Bigfoot lives in the other world and sometimes would come over. So when he lose his track, he goes back to the other side. I have never seen it, but I have smelled it. We tracked it. It threw objects at us. And we just can’t explain how those things happen. (tapping) You just feel like something’s watching you. Something’s out there looking at you. And just get an eerie feeling like something watching you, looking at you. - My first experience that I had was back in December of 2005, when I was going into sixth grade I think. I know there was a smell in the area that was just strange. I never smelled that before. And then my dad, I just kind of ignored it. And then I started loading the wood into the back of the truck and my dad finally turned off the chainsaw and looked towards me and he was like, “Notice that smell?” And I kind of looked at him, I was like, “Yeah.” I was just a kid and I never smelled that before, and I was like, “I don’t know what it smells like.” Then I was asking him about the smell and then he told me it smelled like an old Billy goat, which I heard before from my uncle, Brian Vigil. He told me that Bigfoot might have a smell of a Billy goat or something. Right when my dad told me that, I kind of dropped the log and then I was just looking around and then all of a sudden, that feeling came of something watching you. And then I think that was probably one of the creepiest sightings we had, well my first time. - [Dennis] Often on a Bigfoot hunt, investigators looked for signs of nature out of place. Unusual bent trees, tree trunks stacked, or on occasion, a footprint. - I don’t know, this way he went. - [Dennis] On an earlier trip to this area, Tim made a cast of a Bigfoot footprint. - This one here we found the hair one day. I showed this some other people. One guy told me, he said, “Juvenile Bigfoot.” - [Dennis] Almost always when cameras are present, nothing happens except for that fifth sense of being watched. In a playful way, it’s as if Sasquatch doesn’t want to be photographed. It’s as if they’re having fun with us. (tapping) And of course, everybody on the reservation has seen strange aerial phenomenon. - I’ve seen a few things. Objects flying in the sky that disappear. One night I was parked on the point up here, and this bright light lit up the whole valley and flew at one of the canyons and disappeared, so. That was like 3 o’clock in the morning, then this a few weeks ago, me and my son were out behind the correction center here. We saw a bright light up that disappeared. I actually video of it. I videoed that light. - [Dennis] Later that day, Time and Francisco took us to an overlook of (in foreign language), where Tim captured on his cell phone that aerial phenomenon light that lit up the valley. - [Alan] Do people report a lot of strange lights and that kind of thing up here? - Yeah, they do. A lot of people wanna talk about it. A lot of military activity sometimes. We got CI30s or that fly real low, like helicopters that come in here. It’s weird, I don’t know if there really is a base or why there’s so much sometimes. Why there so much military activity. - [Dennis] If there is an alien base here, it certainly must be one of the best kept secrets of all time. - We need to remember that what’s important about flying saucers to many people on this planet is their technology. They would make wonderful weapons, delivery and defense systems. The first country to be able to duplicate them is gonna rule the planet, ‘cause they can fly circles around anything we got flying. We’re primitive, and so one can understand that the governments of the world do not wanna tell their people that there are alien visitors here. First, it would be admitting we’re not the center of the universe. We’re not the all-powerful, all-knowing et cetera. Second, no government wants it’s citizens to owe their allegiance to the planet as opposed to that government. - [Dennis] Interestingly, the beginning of a modern idea of an alien presence here on Earth started not that far from (in foreign language). Not far from the first nuclear test site. It started just outside of Roswell, New Mexico, where something crashed. Clifford Clift, executive director emeritus, has been a long time member of MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, and has thoroughly investigated what happened on that faithful evening over 72 years ago. - July 7th, 1947, or approximate date thereof. Brazel, a rancher that was northwest of Roswell, out looking for his sheep. And the next morning after, a severe thunderstorm, discovered this debris in the field and it wasn’t something that he had seen before. Having lived in the desert like that, he had seen numerous weather balloons that the military had sent up. This objects that he saw on the ground were not of the weather balloon type that he had seen. So he went to town and talked to the sheriff about having discovered some objects in the field out by his ranch, and he didn’t think that they looked like anything that he’d ever seen before. They might be something more than debris from a weather balloon. The sheriff, Wilcox, then told him to go to the Air Force base, which he did, and then Jesse Marcel Sr. went out with another gentleman to the site and discovered that it was something maybe a little bit more than what he thought. On the way back to town that night, very late at night, he stopped at his house. This is Jesse Marcel Sr., and showed it to his wife and son and told them that this was extraterrestrial. Well, the Air Force came out with their first, in 1947, said that they had captured a flying disk. And that went out all over the radio stations and the press, everybody got it. All of the world were calling the local Roswell newspaper and the sheriff’s department to find out what was going on. It became apparent that something did go on, but the next day, they reversed their statement and said it was a weather balloon. And then they showed a picture of a weather balloon. This is a strange change of events from a flying saucer to a weather balloon. - [Dennis] Whatever was found in the Roswell debris field, material from an alien spacecraft or simple fragments of a military weather balloon, were gathered up by the military and flown to Fort Worth, Texas. Accompanying the objects was Major Jesse A. Marcel of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office, one of the original officers to actually see the objects as they were found on the ranch. In fact, he helped gather them up. So of all the people involved in the Roswell incident, he would be the one who would know if there was a government coverup or not. In 1978, nuclear physicist and author Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Jesse Marcel. - Three quarters of a mile long and several hundred feet wide. So we proceeded to pick up the parts but it was not a weather balloon, nor an aircraft, nor a missile. It was something else which we didn’t know what it is. - [Dennis] But the most interesting story to emerge is that Roswell was not actually the crash site, but the place where the alien craft ricocheted to the eventual crash site, a site not far from Socorro, New Mexico and the place where the National Science Foundation operates a vast network of radio telescopes today. - The debris field was quite wide and quite long at Roswell according to Brazel and his son, so the sheep wouldn’t walk across it, they’d walk around it. The object according to Stanton Friedman may have ricocheted there and landed at another place and at that point, that’s where the object impaled itself in the side of a hill. And apparently there was three to five, depending on who’s talking, alien beings, two of which were dead and one was alive. There was an archeology group that were studying the terrain in that area. They came across this before the military got to it, and they were ordered to be shut up. And as MUFON, we have archival files and we have letters from these archeologists that were at the scene of this depicting what they had seen, and they did say that they were small people there on the ground. And the craft was somewhat delta-shaped, wasn’t exactly round, but it was torn open and there was destruction from the crash. - [Dennis] After all these years, the unsettled and controversial nature of the Roswell event is still the focal point of humankind’s biggest unsolved mystery. Are we alone in the universe? Two things happened as a result of the Roswell incident. - And of course what have we seen ever since? An escalation of this phenomenon, multiple reports, credible reports. UFOs seen by pilots, police officers, military personnel. Tracked on radar performing speeds and maneuvers that seem way in excess of anything we have. And governments all around the world have programs to research and investigate this. - [Dennis] At the same time, mainstream scientists began cataloging stars and planets in our galaxy and in galaxies beyond, and asking what the possibility is that life or non-human intelligence exists out there. In particular, astronomers looking at our galaxy attempted to predict how many possible sophisticated civilizations might have and are still existing in our Milky Way. The famous Drake Equation set forth by astrophysicist Frank Drake, the father of SETI science, predicted around 8000 such civilizations should exist. Consequently, the SETI Institute was established and began searching for extraterrestrial radio waves sent from distant civilizations. - Frank talked about maybe 8000 planets in the galaxy. The latest notion is that we start looking at stars and now we can actually observe planets around other stars. It’s very neat science that we can detect the presence of planets out there. It looks like there’s 1.6 planets per star. If you take hundreds of planets, that’s the average you get out of it. That means in our galaxy, we got over a 100 billion planets. That changes the picture from six or 8000. I think that is a big difference. So just as we thought we’re the center of God’s creation, if I can put it that way, we now realize that’s absurd. That we’re not. - [Dennis] Around the same time, the great Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi was having lunch with fellow physicist at Los Alamos when the conversation turned to a flood of recent UFO sightings all over the United States. During the discussion, Firme supposedly asked his famous question, “Where indeed is everybody? “Where are the extraterrestrials?” Especially since alien life may have had a half billion year jump on us here on Earth, and it is now estimated there are perhaps as many as 11 billion inhabitable planets in our galaxy. The question, “Where are they?” became known as Firme’s Paradox. - The famous Italian physicist Enrico Firme once said that if there were extraterrestrial civilizations, why don’t we see them? Why they have not visited us yet? And that question is very, very important because you can think of a civilization that has developed interstellar travel, but they don’t have to really go on their own, that is bodily, to another planet beyond their planet, actually. They can actually make robots, which will go to another extra solar planet and extract the material from their planet and make a lot of other self-replicating robots, which will go on their way to more planets and this particular process or method and go on at infinitum. In that way, actually, a very intelligent life form or civilization can colonize a large fraction of our galaxy within a very short period of time. And the machines, the self-replicating machines, were first actually described by Von Neumann. So in principle, we are not very far from the day when we can actually send out self-replicating robots into the nearest star system. There is a planet which has already been discovered in our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, and people are thinking about actually sending spacecraft, albeit very small ones, to Alpha Centauri. So if we can already think about that, then it is not unreasonable to assume that there are intelligent civilizations in the galaxy. If there are intelligent civilization in the galaxy, then they would be thinking about this also. And some of these von Neumann machines would be already here on Earth. - In contrast to the SETI movement, which has not a bit of evidence at all to say that anybody is sending signals here, the ufological movement says we have enormous amounts of evidence that aliens are visiting. We can’t answer the questions of, “What do they want?” and “Why are they here? “How do they operate?” - [Dennis] In 1952, Project Bluebook was established by the United States Air Force to answer these questions. Aided in it’s investigations by astrophysicist Dr. Allen Heinick, to this day, Project Bluebook has been controversial. Here’s a montage of the classified images from Project Bluebook. The project was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but is no longer receiving, documenting, or investigating UFO reports. Many claim the project was a massive coverup of evidence of alien encounters. Major General John A. Samford speaks. - However there have been a certain percentage of this volume of reports that have been made by credible observers of relatively incredible things. It is this group of observations that we now are attempting to resolve. Our basic difficulty in dealing with these is that there is no measurement of them that makes it possible for us to put them in any pattern that would be profitable for a deliberate custom sort of analysis to take the next step. We have as of date come to only one firm conclusion with respect to this remaining percentage, and that is that it does not contain any pattern of purpose or of consistency that we can relate to any conceivable threat to the United States. - Project Bluebook Special Report 14. Two important things about it. It was not in the mid-50s. They looked at 3201 sightings in Air Force study, and they found … There’s all kinds of charts, tables, graphs, maps. It’s chockfull of data. And it was found that 21.5% of the cases couldn’t be identified. That there were some cases had to be listed as insufficient information. There was aircraft, balloon, astronomical, et cetera. But they found the better the quality of the sighting, the more likely to be unexplainable, which means that it’s probably real data. They looked at a Chi Square analysis, the characteristics of the unknowns versus the knowns, and the two groups matched. The chance that the unknowns are just misknowns, less than 1%, but in the press release, the report was not distributed. But a press release is getting pretty wide distribution in the mid-50s. They said even the unknown 3% could’ve been identified as conventional phenomena or illusions if more complete observational data had been available. That’s a complete and total lie. The unknowns weren’t 3%. The table showed 21.5%. So 21.5% is not three rounded off by any stretch of the imagination, so it was a flat-out lie, and that set the tone for the next 70 years. - [Dennis] Perhaps one of the most remarkable cases of unexplained aerial phenomena occurred on a clear night over Phoenix, Arizona. - The Phoenix Lights happened March 13th, 1997, with an object being reported northwest of Phoenix up in the Prescott valley area. Lights, very bright lights. The object appeared to have been bigger than any aircraft that the United States or Russia or any other country could get up in the air and fly at 100 miles an hour, which is what it was clocked at. It was viewed by thousands of people. Numerous pictures and videos. We at MUFON have evaluated those pictures with our photoanalysis and we can’t find anything wrong with the pictures. It appears that many people saw a transparent solid object. Others saw a solid object. One report of a dentist traveling along the highway from Phoenix to Tucson, said that he could look out the window of his car on the driver’s side and see one wing tip and look out the window of the other side, the passenger’s side, and see the other wing tip. That’s a pretty large craft. Everybody did report that it was five huge lights on the bottom of this object. Transparent or solid, we don’t know. The technology that they have, if this is extraterrestrial, would allow them to do that type of thing. People can see through ‘em. They can’t see through ‘em. We don’t know why that happens, but it does happen. The object was seen by air traffic controllers at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. The object was seen by commercial airline pilots that reported it. - [Dennis] There is no doubt that thousands of people saw something real that clear Phoenix night, but what? - The Phoenix Lights, I believe, were extraterrestrial craft of some type. I have no idea why. Maybe it was time for them to show themselves to us and maybe not. - [Dennis] Interestingly, the craft was described as having some interdimensional qualities often reported during Bigfoot encounters, including semi-transparency, as if they’re not quite solid or of this world. However, the most convincing alien craft contact came as a result of videos shot by American naval aircraft and released as part of the top secret AATIP program. - [Pilot] Go on, I can’t see the wind. The wind’s 120 miles west. Okay, I see two. - [Dennis] The first video came from what is known as the 2004 USS Nimitz Incident off the coast of San Diego. Fighter pilots from the USS Nimitz flying Super Hornets encountered an aerial object that was described as 40 feet long and shaped like a Tic Tac. - [Pilot] There’s a whole fleet of them, what can I say? My gosh. - [Dennis] The object flying a random pattern, appearing at 80000 feet, and then dove to 20000 feet at incredible speed. When the American fighter plane approached the object, it suddenly came at the plane head-on before peeling away. Although the fighter pilots were no longer able to detect the object, the radar controller at the nearby USS Princeton was able to follow the alien aircraft for a few minutes before disappearing. The next incident we know about occurred 10 years later off the east coast of the United States and is known as the USS Roosevelt Incident. It is reported that many strange aerial objects, one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind, appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015. Navy pilots reported to their superiors that the objects had no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes, but that they could reach 30000 feet at hypersonic speeds. In late 2014, a Super Hornet pilot had a near collision with one of the objects, and an official mishap report was filed. Some of the encounters were captured on video, including one taken by a plane’s camera in early 2015. It is unknown how many of these types of contact have happened and not been made public. By the late 1980s, another kind of alien contact captured the public imagination. People who claimed physical alien abduction, people whose stories would have been dismissed as delusional a generation earlier, were being interviewed by Oprah. In addition, books about alien abduction experiences such as Whitley Strieber’s “Communion,” and Budd Hopkins “Intruders,” were best sellers. However, in the 21st century, reports of that kind of negative alien contact diminished and were replaced by something more interesting. A merging of alien contact with the paranormal. - There are other kinds of contact experiences going on that people associate with aliens or extraterrestrials. And for lack of a better term, I think we need to call them non-human intelligent beings because we really don’t know what they are or where they’re from. They could be interdimensional. From a parallel universe, not from another world far off in space. And a lot of these contact experiences take place in what would be called a matrix reality. That is the contactee is suddenly transported to kind of a liminal between world, which someone described as sounding like the astral plane, which is neither here on Earth nor somewhere else like a craft per se. Where they are having some sort of interaction with an intelligence, which they may or may not see. But there is telepathic communication, there is a sense of a presence. There is usually some information imparted, but we don’t seem to get much evidence that these beings are specifically here to warn us, help us, enlighten us, give us technology, give us medical information. But they’re here to have some sort of interaction with us that awakens something in our consciousness. - [Dennis] As we learn, this is often how a Bigfoot encounter is described, described as spiritual in nature. This kind of contact has been a big part of most native cultures. Bigfoot is known in North America through ancient rock art and stories of Native American encounters. It’s where the name Sasquatch, or hairy giant, got it’s origins. It seems that native, our First Nation people, are more open to Bigfoot encounters, both in the past and even now in the present. Winona Kirk, a Lakota, had her own transformational Bigfoot encounter. - Some elders would say they’re spirit, part spirit, part animal, but the First Nation’s people, my relatives, have kind of a mystical or spiritual way of looking at all creation, so. I did talk to some elders who said, “Oh, I had them around my camp.” - [Dennis] Research has shown that after WWII, reports of Sasquatch encounters were growing in number, but the big change in the awareness of Bigfoot occurred in 1967, when what became known as a Patterson-Gimlin film showed the mysterious beast as it lumbered along the Northern California riverbank. Since then, not only have reports of Bigfoot encounters skyrocketed across America and the world, but also in many ways it initiated a new era of crytozoology researchers. In particular, Bigfoot investigators. Bigfoot investigators, who began intense searches for the big hairy beast. Cliff Barackman, a claimed Bigfoot researcher and one of the hosts of the hit Animal Planet series, Finding Bigfoot, is one of the major proponents of Bigfoot being a living, breathing animal. - From my personal experience, I’ve never had anything happen ever that would convince me that these things are anything other than perfectly normal species of ape or higher primate of some sort that shares the planet with us. - [Dennis] While working for the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Dr. Esteban Sarmiento was the go-to primatologist on evidence relating to Bigfoot. - If Bigfoot did exist, and he is a great ape, he didn’t come from North America. He must’ve came over from Asia, and that’s the other thing, too. When you look at First Nation or you look at American-Indian lore, it’s not an animal that lives down in (in foreign language), in Mexico. It’s an animal that’s really coming from the northwest, and it has the same distribution as other animals that came over the Bering straight from Asia. - [Dennis] Because of so many reports from nearly every corner of the world, all the Bigfoot investigators agreed that there must be at least a couple thousand Bigfoot distributed across the planet. However, descriptions vary. - The appearance of a Sasquatch is somewhere between an adult gorilla and a human being. Generally speaking, an adult male Sasquatch stands between eight and nine feet tall. They’re very broad-shouldered. Maybe about three and a half, four feet wide at the shoulder. A lot of times they kind of narrow at the hips a little bit, very muscular. - They obviously have a different neck structure and different leg structure. A different bone structure than we do. - I’ve heard of Sasquatches being reddish in color, black in color, gray, coyote-colored. The fur runs the gambit and so does the skin tone as well. I’ve heard of Caucasian kind of skin tones. I’ve heard gray, dark black. I’ve heard reddish, all these things. Sasquatches have a huge genetic diversity, as would be expected of a species like that. - [Dennis] At the same time, numerous Bigfoot research organizations were established across North America and Europe. The granddaddy of them all is The Bigfoot Field Researcher Organization. Trained investigators examine and record hundreds of Bigfoot encounters every year. And of course, there are an endless parade of sketchy videos showing obscure images of Bigfoot. - [Man] Oh, and there he goes. - [Dennis] Most are easily recognized as hoaxes. After more than 50 years of failure to capture or videotape clearly a single Bigfoot, the attitude towards what this creature is began to change. Change as contact reports were cataloged and a group of investigators noticed some patterns that pointed to not an elusive primate, but something more paranormal, something alien, something that is a non-human intelligence greater then our own. - The characteristics that are associated with the paraphysical nature of Bigfoot include telepathic communication. People who have had, especially multiple close encounters, and a lot of these would be individuals who spend a lot of time in the woods, like people who are hunting, fishing, camping, or maybe they live in remote areas. They feel that they have telepathic communication with these beings and that they are intelligent, maybe even superior to human beings. And many of these messages are benign or friendly. There are people who have had more aggressive encounters where the Sasquatch is a little more hostile, and maybe it’s because they feel that their territory has been intruded upon. So we have telepathy. We have what would be called as biolocation or rapid transport, and that’s the ability to be here and then suddenly there without visual means of getting there. That has been described on many occasions where people will see a being in front of them and then suddenly it’s behind them and they don’t see it go behind them. How did it get there? It’s just suddenly there. - He was walking into a clearing, which I could see it was lit up by the sun. There was trees that were about 20 yards apart, and he walking in between two crops of trees, pine trees. He went out in to a clearing, and as he walked into the clearing, there was a shimmer that began in a circle and it came in like this and kept going like this. And as he kept walking, everything that was on the outside of the shimmer disappeared and it got to the center and it just went away. And at that point, he was gone. And I observed closely to see if there was any way that it could’ve shifted right or left or if it went straight ahead, but he didn’t. He was walking into the clearing and it just vanished. And everybody got excited, couldn’t believe what we saw. It was just really a life-changing experience for me. - If the Bigfoot seems to want to be material and tangible, it seems to have the ability to do that. And then to turn itself into something intangible as though it’s going through an interdimensional doorway. - [Dennis] Jim Myers is typical of a Bigfoot investigator who has changed his mind about the nature of Bigfoot. - I came to the conclusion that Bigfoot’s more than an ape, more than America’s great ape, and probably even more than just an undiscovered species in America or around the world, actually. I think they’re not categorized yet, obviously. We don’t have a body, we don’t have bones. There’s a lot of reasons for that, I think, but probably the primary reason that led me to concluding that there may be even an extraterrestrial in origin is the fact that they disappear in front of people. I have two personal friends that have watched a Sasquatch, while they’re watching it, literally shrink and disappear to nothing, kind of go pixelated and then be gone. And I’ve experienced something and have other friends as well who’ve experienced something that we would call cloaking, where there is something there, but you could see through it, but there was just something there that you couldn’t actually see. I call it the predator effect from the movie “Predator.” And so those two things, the cloaking and the disappearing, said to me anyway, these are my own conclusions. If Sasquatch can disappear seemingly at will, one, where did they go? Did they go cloaked and they’re still there? Or did they go out of this dimension? My own opinion, and of course nobody has anything but opinions in this realm, is that they go into a different dimension. - And started looking out the windows through binoculars and just kind of scanning the beautiful scenery, and came over between these two trees, these two parallel trees and something looked odd. And it was this kind of pixelated image, and as I drew it into more definition, it was in the shape of a Sasquatch. And I took the binoculars down to make sure that I wasn’t- (laughs) and it was still there, and I thought, “Wow,” and I put them back up and down and back up. And then I thought in my head, “In order for me to believe what I’m seeing, “you’re gonna have to move.” And then it moved, ‘cause it was facing full front, turned to the side, then it turned back. And I just immediately was just overwhelmed with gratitude that I got to see something like that. - Arguably, they were just normal unknown apes. There shouldn’t be any paranormal aspects at all. You know what I mean? There should not be anything that deals with animals vanishing. You don’t get reports from Africa of people seeing gorillas vanish, or weird lights around them. You don’t see monkeys for example, things like that, vanishing in the flash of an eye. So why should you see Bigfoot? The answer is you shouldn’t. You should not see a creature, even if we don’t know what it is, it shouldn’t be vanishing. It shouldn’t be seen with strange lights and UFOs in the sky, so there’s gotta be something that goes beyond that. - It’s kind of funny. I think there’s ample evidence that there are creatures that I will call Bigfoot, because I don’t know what else to call them, here. Whether these are transplants from someplace else, maybe the heavy lifters for the aliens that are coming here, I don’t know. I think they’re part of the picture of us having to realize that we need to expand our view of ourselves, our planet, our neighborhood. - [Dennis] Another Bigfoot investigator who changed his mind about the primate nature of Bigfoot is Ron Morehead. His what is called the Sierra Sounds, recorded in the California Sierra Mountains, are some of the most compelling evidence of Bigfoot’s alien origin. (wailing) Unearthly voices are another paranormal feature associated with Bigfoot. - When I first encountered a family of these things in the 70s, we thought they were probably just an ape out there and then we treat ‘em as such, but they’re more than that. We couldn’t trick ‘em, we tried. We couldn’t get a picture, we tried. One thing we captured was their vocalizations, (whooping) which has been scientifically studied now, and by Dr. Karen, her year-long studies showing that there was a bellow above and in the human range, which suggested they can mimic just about any animal out there. (howling) (shouting) (whooping) (mumbling) The aptitude is what gives them away, they’re huge. These creatures are huge. It wasn’t until 2008 ‘til a crytolinguist, trained by the Navy as a crytolinguist, transcribed foreign languages, languages unknown, and he transcribed a complex language within these sounds. (hooting) And that puts it in a whole new frame. We knew what we were listening to. We knew they were talking to each other, and sometimes talking to us, but until you got a professional behind you saying that, no one’s gonna believe it, so that happened, Most recently, just very recently, a guy did a 20-minute episode on the Sierra Sounds and he claims that he has established it in one tone, he can make five octaves. And if that’s the case, if I can get that corroborated by a biophysical engineer someplace, it’s profound. It should the be smoking gun of Bigfoot discoveries. - [Dennis] Even James Bobo Fay, another of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot’s host, no longer takes the series flesh and blood Bigfoot line seriously anymore. He has personally experienced some of the typical paranormal features associated with Bigfoot. - I saw a blue ball of light going through the woods and where it was going, there was crashing sounds, like a Bigfoot walking. It sounded just like big bipedal long steps and crunch, kind of breaking branches, but I didn’t see it turn into a Bigfoot or anything but it was definitely associated. And that same night, there’s this weird flashing up in the trees before I saw that ball of light. There was three or four big pine or fir trees, and way up like 100 something feet up near the tops, they were lit up like a strobe light. Like five flashes really fast, but there was no discernible angle here. The light was all encompassing. It wasn’t one direction, there were shadows and stuff. It was all lit up like daylight almost, and but in a box. So then and I’ve seen orbs out there when I’ve been Squatching. I was actually with Renee on the show as a skeptic, and she was standing right there. The whole production crew were sitting there watching these two orbs just bouncing on. They ended up, we measured it later to 70 feet from us, go on walking pace and they just tell me that when they travel sometimes. So they travel in their spirit form. It’s like a ball of light. - The phenomena associated with their manifestations defies natural explanation, and I think that we must turn to paraphysical or interdimensional considerations if we’re going to fully understand their presence on Earth and their interactions with humans. - [Dennis] The conclusion many Bigfoot, alien and paranormal investigators have come to is that an important wave of these events are part of a spectrum of alien contact experiences occurring right now on the planet. Paranormal events that are showing up in thousands of what are called hotspots found throughout the planet, hotspots that are said to be thin to the other side or another dimension. Some like the (in foreign language) shrine in New Mexico are places of healing and Christian spiritual realization. Some are places like Virginia’s Monroe Institute, where people travel to higher planes of existence and learn remote viewing. Others like Stonehenge have long standing sacred significance for indigenous cultures, and are often mentioned in connection with ancient alien contact. Others are places where geophysical and energetic anomalies can be detected and felt. One such hotspot is the Montana Vortex just outside Glacier National Park. Identified by the indigenous tribes of the area as a sacred place of healing, it was turned into the House of Mystery, a tourist attraction in 1970. Then in 2014, long time Bigfoot researcher Joe Hauser bought the property as an opportunity to explore the paranormal. Paranormal that included strange photographic effects, the sudden appearance of stick glyphs, the presence of orbs, unexplained aerial phenomena emerging from Columbia Mountain, and a resident Bigfoot, whose arm was mysteriously captured on a tourist cell phone photograph. The renovated facility and grounds are open to guided tours during the summer season. Joe showed us some of the rather unusual gravitational and visual effects the place is known for. - I’m just gonna be a point of reference in the center. I’m not gonna change. You’re the show now. You’re looking pretty tall there. Give me an eyeball, there. Pretty tall there. Change sides, go all the way to the end of the platform so you’re back there by the rock wall. And then, oh, I think you shrunk over there, didn’t ya? Instantaneously, from one side of the energy field to the other. Come on back this way. Walk real slowly, watch her grow as she goes right in front of me just like that. You grew right back up again. - [Alan] Walk around the back. - Yeah, go to the back, too. Same thing, and just like that, you shrunk now. You got a marble with you by any chance? - I do. - Just in case my level wasn’t on the level. Why don’t you put a marble down there anywhere you wanna put it? You can even move it around if you’d like. And if this platform wasn’t level, we’d have to have about three or four inches difference here if that marble would probably take off and roll somewhere. What do you guys think? Pretty level? - [Dennis] The Hausers have located on the property at least five what are called vortexes. - Well, we found the center spiral lines. We found straight lines, and then we found these whirlpools. And the whirlpools get bigger the further they go out, and they actually match up to those mathematical points that Fibonacci figured out in the 12th century still holds for you today. - [Dennis] Vortex spirals that can produce disruption or distortions in the Earth’s geomagnetic field and perhaps the bending of locally generated electromagnetic and electrical fields. This kind of bending could produce some unusual phenomena, phenomena that include visual distortions, cloaking and many of the paranormal events associated with Bigfoot contacts, as well as unusual personal feelings and sometimes healings, healings that occur particularly in the big vortex. - It’s always a good calm energy in there. We built the labyrinth in this. Kind of a meditation-healing walk these vortexes, ‘cause they are magnetic in nature, have really good healing quality. - [Dennis] Then there’s the House of Mystery, built around one of the smaller vortexes. Inside, it exhibits rather strange gravitational effects as demonstrated by Joe Hauser. - The house is tilted at 18 degrees on purpose so we can come inside and have a good time. That’s only about a four and 12 pitch, so as a carpenter, we could easily walk around on a roof a lot steeper than this and not constantly get pushed downhill. But here’s what’s gonna happen. I’m just gonna demonstrate everything for you really quickly, and then you guys can play around with it a little bit yourself. This platform right here is level. People wanna know what the house would be like at this level. Here’s your chance to find out. When you stand on it, let’s look at our feet. When you raise your head, you see I’m not standing straight. I’m leaning forward a couple bubbles, so you’ll do the same. You guys try to stand up straight on here. You can’t, the energy will push you over backwards. Why don’t you get on here? Give it a try, just lean back. You’ll know exactly when you’re 90 degrees ‘cause you’ll feel it. It rocks you back on your heels, lift your toes up. Just like it wants to toss you through the window. So even if the house was level, we’d have to lean in to feel a little bit. - [Dennis] While the unusual vortex effects are interesting, it is the reports of Bigfoot, unexplained aerial phenomena, and orbs that make it a paranormal hotspot. As darkness set in, we were hoping to film the presence of orbs. - Because they’re out of our visual light spectrum, they’re probably in the infrared section of the light spectrum, we don’t see ‘em. Then there’s some people believe that orbs are souls. Many of the photos we see here have faces in ‘em that almost like you’re looking at a human face. Some of ‘em have animal faces. And then some of them appear to be, almost like visitors from another dimension. They’re like a drone. They fly around, they have intelligence, they move around people, they circle people, they avoid trees, and it’s like they’re being controlled from somewhere else where they have some sort of intelligence that they can move around. - [Dennis] As Hauser and his wife Tammy snapped pictures with their cameras, we began filming them and the grounds with our infrared night vision turned on. Perhaps no other paranormal phenomena is more closely associated with Bigfoot than orbs. While we had no luck capturing orbs, the Hausers were more successful. - [Joe] A few right there. A lot more, and then all at once right there. Not any big ones though. - [Dennis] Tammy got something on her camera. - [Tammy] See, these are the first pictures, and then that. You see that cloudiness? - [Alan] Yeah. - [Tammy] It’s almost like a sort of starting to manifest, the red orbs. See that big red orb up there? See that giant one? - [Dennis] By far the most interesting results occurred at the end of our filming in a sequence of pictures with us in the frame, taken within a second according to the camera timestamp. - [Tammy] And there. - [Joe] There’s two or three of them with them in there, and then there’s some without. - [Tammy] Oh, yeah, look, they’re strong. - [Dennis] We could detect no trickery in the sequence of images. Next, we turned our attention to Columbia Mountain, where many sightings of UAPs have occurred, but on this night, nothing happened. But earlier, something remarkable happened. While in the Mystery House, we took a number of readings with the usual paranormal detection devices. There were no results out of the norm, except that the gamma radiation readings inside the House of Mystery were 30 clicks per minute, compared to outside’s 20 clicks per minute. But what about the resident Bigfoot that Joe claims to have regular contact with? He talked about him in the Mystery House. - He’s big, he’s probably about seven, seven and a half foot tall. Big shoulders, narrow waist. He would be a sub-adult now, and he’s young, guys. Still probably maybe 20, 20 plus years old. But when he— - [Alan] Is this where the other photos you got was captured? - Yeah, in here, yeah. And he’s in here, we’re pretty sure during the summer, sometimes I’ll bring the chair up and meet him here like an 800 pound person walking across in here, and there’s nobody in here. (laughs) Yeah, and then, or he’ll, as you come in, you’ll hear him walk out like he’s already in here. But he shows he likes this area over here. We kind of, we can just stand there and eyeball everybody that comes in and stuff like that. - [Dennis] As he’s talking about his resident Bigfoot, something startling moves into the frame. - As you come in, you’ll here him walk out, like he’s already in here. - [Dennis] A fairy, moth-like creature appears for a little over three seconds. Here it is in slow motion. Inexplicably, it’s the brightest thing in the frame, as if self-illuminating. Of course, one of the most reported capabilities of Bigfoot is their ability to shape-shift, to morph into multiple forms and orbs. There is a bit of irony here, in that this giant creature is perhaps showing itself as a tiny fairy-like being. It’s as if they have a sense of humor. - Sense of humor is one indication of higher intelligence. The more you study the Sasquatch as an entity, the more you start to see sense of humor being thrown back at you with the games and tricks that they play. - [Dennis] Thom Powell is one of the early Bigfoot investigators who recognized Bigfoot’s alien paranormal nature. He thinks because we were able to capture something on video, that whatever they are, they are aware of what we are doing in this documentary and approve. So it was natural that we would ask him to lead us on a visit to one of the new paranormal hotspots. A hotspot dubbed the Owl Moon Lab by Bigfoot investigator, Tobe Johnson, is just outside of Eugene, Oregon, where multiple paranormal, Bigfoot, and alien phenomena are occurring regularly. We wanted to understand why. - We’re gonna head out to what we call the Owl Moon Lab. It got that name for a reason. I can explain that when we get there. It’s a personal property out on Cottage Grove, not too far from where the London tracks were. - [Dennis] On February 12th, 2012, 122 prints of a possible Bigfoot were found by Tobe Johnson south of Eugene, Oregon. Accessed by London Road, a road that parallels Cottage Grove Lake, they became known as the London Footprints. Their origin was controversial. Either they are the best example of Bigfoot prints, or a great hoax. The flesh and blood Bigfoot community came down on the side of a hoax, but Thom Powell is not so sure. - They found not just a few more prints, but dozens of prints that went way out into the lake bed and all the way to the shore of the much reduced reservoir. So they got very excited and called up Cliff Barackman and I up in Portland. We gathered together a bunch of plaster and came down here and cast a quite a series of prints. In the end, it was approximately 130. Some of them better than others. They had all been sitting there for a few days by the time we got there, but they’re still pretty well-preserved because the mud was so sticky and stiff by then. So we did cast a whole bunch of footprints and it is one of the more famous footprint finds of late for a couple of reasons. Number one, there were so many of them. And number two, they seem to indicate something about it, behavior. The thing walking out on the lake bed and cruising around and then turning around and walking back. So we cast as many as we had and plastered a cast. The controversy continues. There are people as always who insist that they’re fakes and then there’s others who dispute that. I’m convinced that they’re genuine footprints. - [Dennis] The Owl Moon Lab a few miles away from the footprints turns out to be a property and home owned by Darrell and his wife, transplants from California who wanted to be near their grandchildren. Surprisingly, the portal or the origination point of the paranormal activity is an ordinary shed. - Okay, so from here on out, Darrell’s only gonna be known as Darrell and Cindy because the house is actually up for sale, and we want to keep it a good sale, so this— - Thom. - Thom, Darrell. - Nice meeting you. - Thanks for having us. - Alan. - Alan, nice meeting ya. - Cameraman. - Hey. - So you can attest the craziness here? - Yeah, like I always say, that was normal when I got here. (laughing) Yeah. - Yeah. - This is the epicenter. I would call this anything, this would be the Faraday cage, the transmitter. And putting a capstone on this, okay, is kind of like bottling up a fizzy soda. This seems to be where everyone wants to come for whatever reason. It’s brand-new, it’s less than a year and a half old. All the siding was put up. New garage doors, that cement foundation was laid there. It was just gravel and lumber before and a roof. That was it. - [Dennis] Strange events started occurring when Tobe and Darrell cast some Bigfoot knee prints and brought them back to Darrell’s place. - As soon as we brought those knees and housed them here, it seemed like a giant welcoming committee said, “Okay, you got something. “We like it, you like it. “Maybe we’ll come visit more often.” - Well the acts in there is that when you start studying them, they start studying you. So that’s a John Keelism that he tendered back in the 60s when he was looking into these paranormal matters. And the more he looked at it, the more he became aware that he was being observed or scrutinized, and many a Bigfoot researcher has had that experience where, “They know where I live.” (laughs) - [Dennis] One of the most common forms of interaction with Bigfoot and other paranormal entities is called gifting, the unexpected appearance, exchange, and moving of objects such as feathers, rocks, and personal items. - The gifts here are extremely personal. They seem to not only listen to what you’re saying, but understand who family members are, that may have been to this property or haven’t been to this property. Some of the things that have happened here are applications. Objects that appear out of nowhere or seemingly nowhere. For example, one day I came home from work. I was living right over here in the tree site in a little camper. And Darrell and I walked inside the garage here to download some audio from the evening prior. And I walked back out, I looked at my camper, and there was something sparkly sitting on top of the camper— - The awning. - Awning, yes. And it was gold, and I thought, “What the heck? “I just looked at the camper. “I know it wasn’t there.” It’s up a good eight feet, a gold shiny object. Well, we go this by now is kind of a routine. Bringing things off this camper awning when we turn our back, but recently Cindy said, “Bring us a bag of gold. “Bring us some gold.” (laughing) So when I see gold sitting on top of there, I’m like, “Is it gold gold?” Well, they got a sense of humor. So we bring it down, get it, and— - Pyrite. - No. It’s an old rifle casing from the 1800s. - Oh. - I don’t know if you remember the old rifles? - Yeah, it’s an old Peter’s rifle casing. - Yeah, just sitting right up there on top of it. So that’s the kind of sense of humor that they have. Bring us a bag of money. “We’ll leave a bag with three blackberries “sitting hanging on that tree there, how’s that? “That’s your bag of money.” Cindy has heart surgery, his wife. They bring her a little glass heart and set it by the hummingbird feeder. So this was our rock setup here, and one of the things that we would do, actually only recently after we found out that this was a thing that people were doing, is we would spell things out with letters. One of the major things that happened here was only recently where I spelled out in letters here, “Thank you for gifts.” Three days later, actually I think after Henry Franzoni was here in (in foreign language), spelled out with letters and numbers, ‘cause they didn’t have enough letters to spell out this word, they used numbers. Underneath, “Thank you for gifts,” was spelled, “Welcome.” And they used the letter three to make an E and the number four to make a C, ‘cause they ran out of letters. (laughing) Now, an animal could do all this stuff. I don’t know where, but we’re beyond the fact that it’s anything other than an animal at this point because of the fact that we have the sounds of them interacting, vocalizing, speaking. And oh, by the way, they don’t walk in. When they interact with a puzzle, ‘cause we record behind this wall, they interact with the puzzle like they’re hanging like Tom Cruise in “Mission Impossible.” They drop into existence, you hear them vocalize, huff, they do the percussive (mumbles), whatever. And then they work the puzzle, and then they’re gone. - [Dennis] People in the neighborhood constantly report many cases of an unexplained aerial phenomenon. Darrell describes what he captured on his cell phone on evening. - I believe it was a Sunday night, right when high school graduation stuff was going on. And I brought my dog out about 11:00 at night, and right above that treeline there, I saw something that appeared to be fireworks going off. So I thought that maybe there was some kids up in the woods doing fireworks for graduation or something. As I stood there for a minute, the thing started coming this way and it wasn’t fireworks. And I tried to hold my phone as good as I could, and it just kept going all over the place. It was real hard to stay up with, but then it would just flash, looked like a jellyfish or something-like flash, expand flash. Go off, vanish for a minute sometimes, and then come right back in a little different area. And then it just kept doing that, doing that, and then it got right over me and it just went out. And it was gone. And I stood there for a while and it never came back. - [Dennis] Here’s a UAP enhanced and slowed down. Watch it change shape. It also has an unusual center. Much of the most significant paranormal activity here comes from Tobe and Darrell’s EVPs, (yipping) known by ghost hunters as electronic voice phenomenon, that is audio recordings that let you hear from spirit voices that are not picked up by the human ear. (grunting) Some of these have the quality of ghosts. - We got an EVP the day of the funeral of the boy that committed suicide that grew up in this room of the prior owners. The day of his memorial, we got an EVP of a child saying, “I’m dead.” We went in there to check the EVP and we found these, and these are little tiny four-fingered hand prints that are infused into the bedroom door. They’re chalky white hand prints about twice as small as mine. We used the actual prints here, and if you can see, they’re very unusual anatomically. They have hard line edges in the palm here. They’re gnarled in the fingertips and kind of twisted. - [Dennis] Tobe invited Thom to listen to a number of the unusual sounds they have recorded in and outside the shed. - This is what this place turns into. (hissing) (cracking) (clinking) That’s right here. For 30 minutes. (cracking) Not a thing moved off the counter. Not a dent. Not a bird shit. - [Alan] When we returned to camp up at night and in the morning, there was nothing touched. That’s how this place is. - You wanna hear Bigfoot sounds? Okay. (howling) I don’t know if it gets better than that. - That’s your standard that might make her scream. - That’s from the outdoors. (howling) That’s in the backyard. (howling) - [Dennis] Here are a few other voices and sounds that had been recorded at Owl Moon Lab. (shouting) (mumbling) As evening settled in, we, including one of Darrell’s neighbors, Ren, decided to see if we could record any paranormal activity in the shed. Tobe described the setup we were going to use. - So it’s as simple as putting a recording device here and a speaker outside. So everyone’s gonna come outside and kind of let this little portal, for lack of a better word, to start to introduce itself to us and the area and some new faces. And whether or not that makes a difference, I don’t know. I think it might. And then one by one we’ll send people in here to see if we can measure that on camera. - [Dennis] We waited outside and listened for something to happen. Finally, we heard a knock from inside the shed. (knocking) (laughing) - That was good, okay. (knocking) Nice work. So that’s kind of how you warm it up. - [Dennis] The time had come to send some of us into the shed and see what we could record. Nothing happened until our co-producer Alan Megargle went inside with his camera, camera audio and infrared lights. At first there was nothing, but then things started occurring. (mumbling) (cracking) - [Alan] I heard that. - [Tobe] Is that you? - [Alan] No, but I heard it. - [Dennis] Loud sounds coming from inside the shed. (cracking) - [Alan] I heard that. - [Dennis] With no apparent cause. - [Tobe] Ask it a question, Alan. - [Alan] Can you make more noise so I know you’re here? (cracking) - [Alan] I heard that, a little cracking. Is this your home? - [Tobe] Ask it if it’s from another dimension. - [Alan] Small crack. Why do you come here? (cracking) I heard that, small crack. Have you ever had stuff actually move while you were in here? - No, only heard the sound of movement. Never saw anything move. (cracking) - [Alan] Crack sounds. (cracking) Loud crack sound. (clanging) I don’t even know what that sound was. It sounded like something trying to get in. (laughing) I feel something. It got cold in here. Are you here? I heard that. That’s the corner right by you. (tapping) That was a little noise. Center wall, towards you. I feel that chill again. I did not hear a knock. Kind of a coldness across my whole body. - [Dennis] Later, Alan described the feeling of a strong presence surrounding him. It felt like something had entered the shed. Fortunately, we were able to verify to some degree the peculiar nature of the Owl Moon Lab and it’s potential as a portal. A paranormal hotspot with a wide range of unusual events constantly occurring in a single geographical location, all pointing to the emerging idea that more paranormal phenomena are part of a connected otherworldly landscape. In this case, Bigfoot, ghosts, voices from the other side, EVPs and unexplained sounds coming from an otherwise normal shed. (mumbling) (cracking) - [Alan] I heard that, a small crack. - [Dennis] What we constantly heard from paranormal Bigfoot investigators was expect the unexpected. - What we’re starting to find is that there are power spots. There are places where things happen much more frequently than the rest of these places. It appears that there are places throughout the Earth where energy is focused. People describe them differently. Lay lines, vortexes, even black holes are considered to be one of these places where energy is concentrated. What we’re finding, I think, is that these places exist on the surface of the Earth. And if you put yourself in these places, if you can first identify these places, and then put yourself in them, things happen with a lot more regularity and things happen a lot more dramatically. So as much as anything, we’re just going around trying to find these power spots. Trying to find these vortexes, wormholes, whatever you wanna call them, and then see what’s going on there that we can hopefully begin to understand. - [Dennis] So what is going on here? The evidence is growing stronger, and perhaps governments already know full well that we are not alone here in our solar system. That we are moving towards an alien contact singularity that will change everything we believe about ourselves and our place in the world. Perhaps all you have to do is open your mind to your own personal alien or Bigfoot awakening, and they will find you. After all, it’s their game we are playing.

i'm not allowed to say this i think i'm allowed to say this uh i've eaten shrooms a couple times but i haven't gone the full i'm talking to a few researchers and psychedelics it's an interesting scientifically place like what is the portal you're entering when you take psychedelics or another would ask is like dreams whatever so let me tell you what i think which is based on nothing like this is based on my life right so i don't your intuition it's based on my it's based on my i'm guessing now um based on what i do know i would say but i think that well think about what happens so you're running your brain's running this internal model right and it's all outside of your awareness for really you see the you feel the products but you don't you don't sense the you have no awareness of the mechanics of it right it's going on all the time um and so one thing that's going on all the time that you're completely unaware of is that um when your brain your brain is basically asking itself figuratively speaking not literally right like how is the scent given the last time i was in this sensory array with this stuff going on in my body and i and that this chain of events which just occurred what did i do next what did i feel next what did i see next and so it doesn't come up with one answer it comes up with a distribution of it possible answers and then there has to be some selection process and so you have a network in your brain a sub-network in your brain a population of neurons that helps to choose it's not i'm not talking about a homunculus in your brain or anything silly like that um this is not the soul it's not the center of yourself or anything like that but there is um uh a set of neurons that weighs the probabilities uh um um and and helps to select uh or narrow the field okay and that that network is working all the time it's actually called the control network the executive control network or you can call it a fronto parietal because the regions of the brain that make it up or in the frontal lobe and the parietal lobe there are also parts that belong to the subcortical parts of your brain it doesn't really matter the point is that that there is this network and it is working all the time whether or not you feel in control whether or not you feel like you're expending effort doesn't really matter it's on all the time except when you sleep when you sleep it's it's a little bit relaxed and so think about what's happening when you sleep when you sleep the extra the external world recedes the sense data from so basically your model becomes a little bit the tethers from the world are loosened and this network which is involved in you know maybe weeding out unrealistic things is a little bit quiet so use your dreams are really your internal model that's unconstrained by the immediate world except so you can do things that you can't do in real life in your dreams right you can fly like i for example when i fly on my back in a dream i'm much faster than when i fly on my front don't ask me why i don't know when you're laying and you're back in your dream no when i'm in my dream and flying in a dream i am much faster flyer in the air very often not often but you talk about it like you i don't think i've flown for many years well you must try it i've flown i've fallen that's scary yeah but you fl you're talking about like yeah i fly my dreams and i'm way faster right and you're better on my back way faster um now you can say well you know you never flew in your life right it's conceptual combination i mean i've flown in an airplane and i've seen birds fly and i've watched movies of people flying and i know superman probably flies i don't know if he flies faster on his back but he's voice he's out of never see he's lying on his front right but yeah but anyways my point is that you know all of this stuff really um all these experiences really become part of your internal model the thing is that when you're asleep your internal mole is still being constrained by your body your your brain is always attached to your body it's always receiving sense data from your body you're mostly never aware of it uh unless you run up the stairs uh or or you know uh maybe you um are ill in some way but you're mostly not aware of it which is a really good thing because if you were you know you'd never pay attention to anything outside your own skin ever again like right now you seem like you're sitting there very calmly but you have a virtual whole thing drama right it's like a like a like an opera going on inside your body and so i think that one of the things that happens when people um take psilocybin or take uh you know ketamine for example is that the tethers completely are completely removed yeah yeah that's fascinating and then and that's why it's helpful to have a guide right because the guide is giving you sense data to steer that internal model so that it doesn't go completely off the rails yeah another so again that wiring to the other brain that's the guide is at least a tiny little tether exactly yeah you i’m not allowed to say this i think i’m allowed to say this uh i’ve eaten shrooms a couple times but i haven’t gone the full i’m talking to a few researchers and psychedelics it’s an interesting scientifically place like what is the portal you’re entering when you take

We all do it, some of us do it more than others, and most of us cherish it. During those heavenly hours when we go into sleep mode, some weird and wonderful things happen to us…Sleep is the final frontier, a place where dreams burst into life, but also a place where strange and sometimes dangerous things happen. As you’ll find out today, there’s a lot more to sleeping than you think, and it’s only really in the last few decades that we’ve begun to understand the importance of having a good slumber. Without further ado, welcome to the sleep zone. 50. If you go without sleep it’s called sleep deprivation, and you can start to feel cranky and anxious if you go just 24 hours without a doze. Go 48 hours, and you will become very fatigued. At this point you might have something called “micro-sleeps”, which means dropping off without even knowing it for just a second or two. Go 72 hours, and it’s likely you have difficulty concentrating and might start to get paranoid – ask any methamphetamine fiend what happens to them after a few days insufflating crystals. After the three day mark, there’s a chance you might suffer from bouts of psychosis. 49. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in three Americans don’t get enough sleep. Scientists believe most humans need at least seven hours of sleep, but many people don’t get nearly that much. 48. In 1987, a man named Kenneth Parks got in his car and drove around 12 miles (20km) to his mother in law’s house. He then entered the house and bludgeoned his mother in law to death with a tire iron. After that, he tried to strangle his father in law, but he didn’t succeed in killing him. Covered in blood, Parks drove to the police station and told the cops that he may have just killed two people. He didn’t go to prison for his crime, since it was believed he had committed the act while sleepwalking. 47. In 2005, a 15-year old girl in England went for a walk while she was sleepwalking. She actually managed to climb up a 130-foot (40 meters) crane. There she remained, until a firefighter climbed up the crane and rescued her. The girl was still sleeping when he got to her. Of course she was very confused, having gone to sleep in her bed and woken up at the top of a crane. Just imagine if that happened to you. 46. Lots of studies have been done so we can better understand dreams. One strange thing about dreams is the fact that something like 12 percent of people report they only dream in black and white. Why? We don’t exactly know. We know that a lot more Americans in the past dreamed in black and white. The main reason for that is that TV was black and white. 45. According to the National Sleep Foundation, only one in four married couples in the USA actually share the same bed. The separation isn’t always because the couple has fallen out of love or they argue too much, it’s more likely to be because they disturb each other’s sleep patterns. 44. Some people just can’t seem to get out of bed in the morning. Some struggle, but others really feel like they just can’t make the move. There is a term for this and it’s called “Dysania.” There are a number of reasons that this can happen, and it could simply be that the person is not getting enough quality sleep. It might also be related to anxiety or depression. It’s not a medical condition per se, but some people can have chronic dysania and some sufferers have been known to stay in bed for days on end. 43. Some people are born blind, so you might wonder what they dream about since they have not visualised the world. Well, blind people’s dreams tend to be more about the other senses, such as taste and smell and sounds, but there is evidence that some blind people can have visual dreams, too. Studies have also found that people who were born blind tend to have more nightmares than people who can see. These might be related to the sense of falling or getting lost. 42. Some people claim to never dream at all, but that’s just because they rarely if ever wake up during their REM portion of sleep. This is when the brain is most actively dreaming, and self-professed non-dreamres who were woken up during REM sleep admitted they had been dreaming. 41. Do dogs dream? It seems they do, since scientists have looked at dogs’ brains’ electrical activity while they were sleeping. Some of those scientists said that the average sized dog will start to dream after about 20 minutes of sleep. At this point you should be able to see the rapid eye movements of the dog. Ok, so you might now ask, do dogs sleepwalk, too? The answer it seems is no, although they might flop about a bit while they’re sleeping. It’s unlikely that one day you’ll find your dog at the top of a crane, fast asleep. 40. We don’t know where the myth originated, but some people hold the belief that if they were to die in their dream they’d die in real life. Simply put, this is hogwash. Many people have reported dying in a dream and they lived to tell the tale. 39. Humans are the only animal that deliberately delays their sleep. 38. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the body does not adjust to shift work. On its own website, the organization says that people who work shifts and change their sleep pattern a lot are more likely to later develop diseases, such as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. 37. Around 90 million Americans snore, and 37 million of those folks do it on a regular basis. 36. Some people claim they don’t sleep much at all, and some of them are pretty well known. Donald Trump wrote in his book, “Think Like a Billionaire” … “Don’t sleep any more than you have to. I usually sleep about four hours per night.” Well, at least he paid someone to write that in a book for him. Other reports state he sleeps about 6 hours a night, which would be the same as Elon Musk. In fact, we found lots of reports stating that many CEOs and famous people only sleep between four and six hours a night. Now let’s get strange again…the best is yet come. 35. There is a guy in the UK by the name of Lee Hadwin. He’s been painting in his sleep since he was four and as an adult he carried on doing it. He’s been dubbed the sleepwalking artist and has made a lot of cash from selling his artworks. He goes to bed, and when he wakes up there’s sometimes a drawing or painting in front of him. He said when he was 15 years old he woke up and found that he’d drawn a really good picture of Marilyn Monroe. The thing was, in his waking life he had no talent whatsoever for drawing. Some of his paintings have been sold for six figures, and even Donald Trump has bought one of them. He’s made a lot of cash and kind of put no effort into it. Hadwin’s skills have baffled scientists, and no one really knows how he manages to create his works while asleep. Some people have said he’s a fraud, although experts at the Edinburgh Sleep Clinic have witnessed him sleep-working and they say he’s the real deal. 34. Most people tend to fall asleep after around 7 to 15 minutes of trying, although anyone who has suffered from insomnia or stress will tell you that it might take them hours to find slumberland. 33. On the other hand, if you’re the kind of person who falls asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, it’s likely you are sleep deprived. 32. You can find recent articles in the media that tell you that around nine million people in the U.S. take a sleep medication, although the data cited is CDC research that is now a decade old. Still, we found more stories talking about Americans’ problem of falling asleep. It does indeed seem that millions of adults are taking a medication for sleep, or medications to reduce stress and anxiety. The downside to this are some side-effects and also dependency on the drug. With some medications there is something called a rebound effect, so if the person tries to quit they might experience even worse anxiety, stress, or insomnia. 31. The younger you are, the more you sleep. Babies usually sleep 14 to 17 hours a day and they usually don’t have a problem dozing off. 14 to 17 year olds usually sleep anywhere from 7 to 11 hours a day. According to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, it’s important that younger folks get this extra sleep, compared to adults who can get by on 7 hours. Parents shouldn’t nag if their teenager likes to spend, say, 10 hours asleep. Still, according to the CDC, two thirds of high school students aren’t getting enough sleep, especially on school nights. 30. Twenty percent of American adults hit the booze before bedtime, and if you’ve ever done that, you’ll know that it can help you to fall asleep. But is it good for you…in the sense of sleep, not what it does to your organs. The experts tell us that a drunk sleep might not be the best sleep because the alcohol can prevent you from having those good REM sleeps. You might also wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to get back to sleep again. A bucket of beer might also lead to many trips to the bathroom throughout the night, and as some of you know, drunk sleepers tend to snore. That’s because the booze has relaxed their throat muscles, and also because drunk sleepers tend to sleep on their backs. 29. New research has shown that more people are now texting in their sleep, especially people who have grown up with a mobile phone. This is a very modern “parasomnia”, which means sleep disorder. Still, it’s a good excuse if you’ve texted something you regret in the morning. If your partner finds out that you’ve texted an old flame, you now know what to say, “My love, it was merely a sleep-text....Totally out of my control.” Now for something really wacky. 28. We imagine that just a few of you guys watching this video have woken up in the middle of the night with a raging hunger. You’ve gone down to the kitchen, raided the fridge, and left a trail of destruction behind you. But how many of you have done this while still sleeping? You might have experienced something called “Nocturnal Eating Syndrome”, but as a sleep-related eating disorder. It’s full name is “Nocturnal sleep-related eating disorder.” People who have suffered from this have sometimes raided the kitchen several times in just one night, but they didn’t remember a thing the next day. It sounds funny, but NES can be dangerous as eating while still asleep could lead to choking or having an accident. In extreme cases, people have been known to put on lots of weight, while some people have fired up the stove and made a complex meal. Others have eaten things such as salt sandwiches, raw meats, frozen food, and would you believe it, buttered cigarettes. Yikes. 27. Arguably better than that is something called “Exploding Head Syndrome.” These people might be on the cusp of sleep when suddenly they hear a loud explosion, or hear the sound bullets or great claps of thunder. It freaks them out to say the last, especially if the noise is accompanied by flashes of light. The good news is that it’s not dangerous. No one really knows why it happens. It might be related to problems with the ear, nerve dysfunction, a minor seizure, or just your regular stress. 26. Driving while feeling drowsy can lead to accidents, with the CDC saying in the US alone in recent years thousands of fatal crashes happened because someone nodded off behind the wheel or was very close to it. The statistics differ depending on what you source you are reading, but everyone agrees that driving while very fatigued is a bad idea. In one poll, 37 percent of people admitted that they had fallen asleep while driving at least once in their life. 25. Is napping good for you? NASA wanted to know this because it wanted to see if napping improved the performance of its pilots. The agency concluded that the ideal nap should last 26 minutes. This can improve alertness and reduce stress. With this in mind, if you ever find yourself in a position where you have to drive a long distance, or you have to do something that’s very important, if you feel tired you should find a suitable place to take a nap. This might improve your performance and keep you concentrated. 24. According to some studies, it’s a myth that you can catch up on sleep. Some people might think, hmm, if I sleep only a few hours on Monday and Tuesday, I will catch up those missing hours later in the week. Harvard Medical School said this is not the case. Its study revealed that people who often have nights of little sleep will always suffer in the end. 23. Exercise helps you fall asleep easier and also helps you to sleep better throughout the night. Why, though, you might ask. Well, scientists tell us that exercise releases endorphins in our brains and this can reduce stress and depression. In fact, studies have shown that when people suffering from insomnia did four months of exercise they slept better and were less anxious in general. The thing was, though, the good sleep didn’t come immediately. Participants had to put some effort in. 22. Almost half of Americans sleep rolled up in the fetal position, so it seems we have a fondness for how we kicked it back in our mother’s womb. Back sleeping is the second most common and after that stomach sleeping. Then there are people that combine different sleeping positions. Some research tells us that sleeping on your back is the best position to promote good health, although it might depend on if you have certain health issues. 21. We generally dream 4 to 6 times throughout the night, and as you’ll soon find out, this can be a problem. 20. Some of you will know that one of the scariest things that can happen to you during sleep is dreaming that you are awake. Such a “false awakening” might mean you get up, go downstairs, have a drink of orange juice and then suddenly you realize something isn’t right. You then might wake up for real, often with your heart pounding. Even worse is the fact that some people have woken up with a shock and then seen someone standing over them. This is a dream within a dream again, and then the person might wake up for real. These are called multiple false awakenings, which has been described as a Russian doll of dreaming. That’s scary. 19. Some people can dream and while they don’t wake up they are aware they are dreaming. These are called lucid dreams. You might even be able to give yourself superpowers in these dreams, such as the guy who says when he is being chased in a nightmare sometimes he just has to decide to run backwards and he shoots off like a rocket. Why do we lucid dream? It’s likely because a part of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is partly switched on during sleep when it usually isn’t. This part of the brain deals with planning, reasoning, working memory and thinking about multiple concepts. In a lucid dream, the person then becomes conscious enough to know they are dreaming, but not conscious enough that they wake up. That’s one theory, anyway. 18. So, which country’s citizens get the best sleep? We found some data and it seems that folks from New Zealand on average sleep the most hours. The Netherlands, Finland, Britain and Australia weren’t far behind and the U.S. was somewhere in the middle. The worst sleeping nation was Japan, followed by South Korea and then Saudi Arabia. 17. According to the National Sleep Foundation only eight percent of Americans sleep totally naked, while a whopping one third of British folks sleep in the buff. 16. There is no proof that eating cheese can give you nightmares, but if you go to bed on a full stomach it might affect your sleeping pattern. It can make you restless as your body digests the food, and therefore you might wake up more during REM sleep. 15. Around 1.4 percent of people sleep with their eyes open, a condition known as nocturnal lagophthalmos. It simply means they cannot close their eyelids during sleep, with some folks sleeping with their eyes fully open and others just partially open. They have no idea they’re doing it since they’re asleep, but it looks pretty freaky to other people. There are other reasons why someone might sleep with their eyes open, relating mostly to disease, trauma and autoimmune conditions. 14. In 2010, a man named Gregory Machon said he was kicked off a US Airways flight because he was caught sleeping with his eyes open. He’d fallen asleep before the plane had even taken off, but when one of the cabin crew saw him sleeping with his eyes open, she thought he was ill and asked if anyone on board could help. There was actually a nurse on the plane, but she had no idea why someone would sleep with their eyes open. She had not heard of nocturnal lagophthalmos, and while Machon explained that he often slept this way, in the end the crew decided he wasn’t fit to fly. He wasn’t very happy about this at all. Ok, coming up to the top thirteen. Now we have some really strange things to tell you. 13. You cannot sneeze when you are sleeping. 12. Studies have shown that people have a worse night’s sleep when there is a full moon. Why that happens is confusing, but the obvious answer might be because of the light of the moon. That doesn’t seem to be the case, though, because when scientists in Switzerland watched people as they slept during a full moon, the subjects were literally kept in the dark. They were figuratively kept in the dark, too, since they had no idea what the experiment was about. The scientists found that when the moon was full, on average the people spent 30 percent less time in deep sleep and slept less time overall. It also took them longer to fall asleep. Some scientists believe that humans are naturally attuned to the moon’s cycle, and that’s why its fullness affects our sleep. More studies have been undertaken, with mixed results. One study showed kids slept longer during a full moon, but another revealed again that adults slept less. 11. Back when the British were leading the Industrial Revolution a new job came onto the scene so that the people got to the factories on time. This job was called a knocker-upper. For a few pennies a week, some guy would come around to workers’ houses and knock on their doors, or windows, or use a pea-shooter to hit the higher level widows. In the 19th century the author Charles Dickens wrote about this occupation, but knocker uppers were still around in the 1970s. The first personal alarm clock was invented in 1787, but we guess not everyone in Britain’s industrial cities had one. 10. Things can turn ugly if you wake someone up who is experiencing something called sleep terrors, or night terrors. These are very intense nightmares. Fortunately, only around one percent of adults suffer from regular night terrors, and while someone might thrash around a bit or scream out, the person next to them will usually not be harmed. That’s not always the case, though, and we found instances when people had attacked their partner during a night terror. During the frenzy, the dreamer might also hurt themselves. This is how one woman described how her husband would sometimes act during sleep: “He seems to have the strength of 10 men and shoots straight up from bed onto his feet in one motion. He’s landed clear across the room on many occasions and has pulled down curtains, upset lamps, and so forth. He’s grabbed me and pulled on me, hurting my arms.” There are many reasons why someone might have night terrors, from substance abuse to childhood trauma to PTSD, to a family history of parasomnia. 9. According to the National Sleep Foundation, you should wash that pillow of yours at least once every six months and you should replace it after a year or two. The reason is dust mites. These little fellas can impair breathing and worsen allergies. 8. Babies are another thing that really get in the way of a good night’s sleep. It’s reported that a new person in the house will result in 400-750 hours of lost sleep for parents. 7. Major global events can make many people have a bad night’s sleep. A big event might have this effect for many months, as many people have experienced during the coronavirus pandemic. Other major sleep disturbers have been the 9/11, the Challenger space shuttle disaster and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. While it’s good to know about current events, we can certainly consume too much news. Sometimes you have to tune out and just be in the moment. 6. When your stress levels are high the hormone corticosteroid can negatively impact the effectiveness of the immune system. A vicious cycle that can happen is a person is stressed and so sleeps less, and then the next day the lack of sleep means they deal with stress worse. They might then sit in front of the TV watching news media that sounds apocalyptic. This creates stress, which creates sleeplessness, in a repeating cyclical pattern. 5. Some people dread going to bed and falling asleep, a condition called Somniphobia. One sufferer in the UK explained it like this: “I would stay up listening to my mum’s snoring just to make sure she was alive. I was petrified that if I slept, something bad might happen, and I wouldn’t be awake to help.” Some of these people might fear the loss of control they have during sleep, or they might worry about what could happen while they are unconscious. Some sufferers have said the fear comes from having had night terrors or bouts of sleepwalking, while for others a traumatic event in the past caused the dread of the bed. Ok, we’re getting to the end now…but there’s still so much more to tell you about sleep. 4. 5 to 7 million kids in the U.S. wet the bed, although by the time kids reach the age of ten only about 2 to 3 percent of them wet the bed. One study we found said that one in 50 teenagers in the U.S. wets the bed. Ok, so why do some folks wet the bed In the first place? It could be a number of things, such as the child having a smaller than average bladder or the fact both his parents were bedwetters. It might also be because they have lower than average levels of the hormone vasopressin, or simply the fact their sleep is just too deep. Stress and infections can also be a reason. 3. According to the experts, counting sheep as a strategy to fall asleep is useless. 2. Some studies have shown that if you regularly sleep well you might deal with pain better. In those studies, the scientists allowed participants to sleep a certain number of hours. When they were later tested to see how they dealt with pain, the people who had slept more seemed to feel less, so much so it was as if they had taken codeine. 1. Lastly, we’ll tell you about the horror of something called “fatal insomnia”. This is a rare disease, thank God, which affects the brain. It happens because of a tiny genetic mutation in the brain, but that mutation in time will mean the sufferer will find it very hard to sleep. The insomnia will get worse and worse and this will lead to hallucinations, delirium and finally death. It might take many years for the person to show any symptoms, but once they do there is no going back. Over a period of months the person will suffer from panic attacks, which will lead to paranoia, and then the hallucinations will occur. Next will come weight loss and finally when the patient hasn’t slept for a long time, they will become unresponsive. It could happen when the person is as young 18 or it might not happen until they’re in their 60s. There’s no cure for this nasty disease, and even the strongest sleeping pills or other sedatives don’t seem to help. It’s just one long, agonizing nightmare, so we can be glad that only around 40 families have been known to carry this gene.
