A couple weeks ago I went to Twentynine Palms and had some really incredible paranormal experiences that you’ll hear about in the future. While I was out there I was reminded of a couple stories from a few years back. So while the show is still on a break, I wanted to share these stories again - as a reminder of just how freaky the desert is.
First, my friend Arthur tells us of the intelligent beam of light he witnessed in Joshua Tree. Then, my cousin’s friend Raeha tells us of the crawling shadow man in Twentynine Palms. Since these are from older episodes the audio will be a little inconsistent, so my apologies. 

Ch 1 - Joshua Tree, with Arthur
Ch 2 - The Desert Shadow Man, with Raeha Keller
