Almost Canon Nick Willard

This week we talk with Author Robert Guffey and cover as much ground as we can in 3 hours! we start with Operation Mindfuck and end with Chameleo, covering just about every thing you can think of in between.
   I became aware of Robert Guffey’s work several years ago, 2016-2017, after he published a book called “Chameleo: a strange but true story of invisible spies, heroin addicts and homeland security”.  This is a story that I believe doesn’t get the attention it deserves and is the reason I wanted to have Robert on in the first place. This story has its roots in ancient magic but focuses on not only alphabet agentcies and high tech invisibility suits but other experimental technologies that are more akin to men in black or the l glimmerman. 
    And while we do touch on Chameleo towards the end of our talk, we start off by discussing another masterpiece penned by Robert, a book called “Operation Mind Fuck” which is Robert Guffey’s clinical dissection of Q-anon.

On August 30th 2023 Russel Ruby escaped from captivity and went to find help. We would quickly find out that Russel"s mother Ruby Franke had been working with a friend, Jody Hildebrandt, to rid both Russel and his sister Evie of Demonic possession or so they believed. What police would discovered was nothing short of monstrous.
As of February 2024 Ruby and Jody are now serving four 1-15 year terms behind bars. Also, released after the sentencing Ruby and Jody, were some documents and recordings, one of which was an interview held between investigators and Ruby's husband Kevin. And in this recoding Kevin mentions several interesting things, one of which is how Jody believed she was possessed and that he even witnessed some of these paranormal happenings himself.
So this week we take a closer look at these allegations; go over Kevin's interview and some of the statements he made; take a closer look at some of the actions made by Ruby, but especially by Jody.
Now none of this is for certain. We are simply investigating the statements made by Kevin. But Kevin clearly believes he saw something and the behavior exhibited by Jody over the last year suggests he could be right.

This Nick is currently with his son in the state of Massachusetts at Boston Childrens Hospital. We weren't able to record an episode before leaving so we decided to drop a little something and go over what our plan is for the next month and into summer. We'll be talking with authors like Robert Guffey and Gary Wayne as well as content creators like Brad Martin and Nathan Elwell. We also have several Adventures planned where we'll be filming what we find and uploading those videos.
Either way look forward to our special Tuesday episode it came out of no where and really got me thinking!

Somewhere deep within the Himalayan mountain range is a world lost to time.  It’s often described as heaven on earth, a paradise locked between the cold, rocky peaks and frozen jagged ice sheets of this towering mountain range. 
    Now  this paradise is entirely different than its cold frozen surroundings.  There are hot springs and warm flowing waters; green rich jungles and colorful flowering plants throughout a hidden, lost valley. Within this valley  time is said to slow down and those who live there live for ever. But stories like this are seen throughout the world.  History is chock full of lost and mythical civilizations. Whether they’re entire continents like Atlantis or Lemuria or simple, yet extravagant cities like El Dorado or Iram of the Pillars, these mysterious locations hold a certain wonder and intrigue that hard to ignore. 
And one that always interested me (no thanks to Uncharted 2: Honor Among Thieves) is Shambahla! And oh man, did I learn stuff I had no idea was connected to this mythical lost city. So dig in! This episode is shorter than normal but it’s packed full of everything you need to know about Shambahla and more!

On this episode we start by detailing two encounters we recently received from listeners. One about a UFO encounter in the 1970's that caused not only the listeners car to stall on the main road but the three cars behind him to stop as well and the second story is about a family that moves into a house where something horrible has once happened and they were having to deal with the repercussions of that act.
Then Nick moved onto the topic which in honor of FX's Shogun and the release of Rise of the Ronin, is Japanese folklore. Nick dives into three different beings: the Oni, the Kappa and the Japanese Bigfoot, the Satori. Now as Nick was doing his research for this topic he picked up on several key pieces of lore that could connect the Oni, the Japanese demon, to the biblical Nephilim and even the Celtic Tuatha De. this is a shorter than normal episode but it might be more impactful than most, specially if looking for answers is something that interests you.

This week we stay close to home, almost literally in my back yard, and listen to three incredible encounters from right here in the Green Mountain State.
Our first story involves a young woman and her friends who experienced something very strange while on the outskirts of Springfield Vermont one night in 1997. You can make up your own mind, but her story has all the hallmarks of an alien abduction. mysterious lights and sensations; missing time; no memory of what happened except for an intense feeling of dread. This encounter also happened not far from the ancestral home of James Heartness, who was former governor of Vermont but was also an amateur Astronomer with a secret club located in the tunnels under his house. Do the echoes of Mr. Hartness and his secret club have something to do with what happen to our guest...I don't know, you'll have to make your mind up for your self.
Our second story involves someone who was fishing along the border of Weathersfield and Springfield and encounter not one but Sasquatch creatures coming out of the forest. he was sure it was some sort of prank but when they roared at him he realized these were definitely not his friends in costumes.
Our third story is told by a man who recounted an encounter he had one night with a Sasquatch that was squatted down watching him sleep inside his locked lake house in Northern Vermont. This is an incredible encounter that suggests something we've been playing with the past few episode and something many researcher try to stay away from. while the audio isn't great, its something you need to hear for yourself.
If you've had an encounter with the unknown please send us a message via our Facebook page our our email almostcanonpod@gmail.com.
