He claims to fight extraterrestrials on his ranch in Arizona on a daily basis, and to have killed 19 of them with a sword. John Edmonds and his wife bought Stardust Ranch in the late 90s so they could retire on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. However, quickly after moving in they discovered that the place was swarming with aliens from another world. Or so they claim. Edmonds says that dozens of these aliens warp in from their spaceships and attack him on a daily basis, and he defends himself using nothing but a katana. He also claims to have personally killed 19 of them, and he has a bloodstained katana to prove it. But is any of this true? Well, obviously not, but the story and this guy are super fascinating. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the incredibly fascinating and outlandishly fake story of Stardust Ranch.
