Welcome back to forbidden knowledge news. I'm your host, Chris Matthew. Tonight I want to welcome James Keenan. He is an author, lecturer, and field investigator. He began his writing career after spending more than 25 years in law enforcement and private investigations.

He holds a degree in interdisciplinary studies, and his main curriculum was anthropology and archaeology,

with a focus on Mesoamerican cultures. He noticed a lack of archaeological investigation into the reason that past culture suddenly disappeared,

which led him to research evidence that pointed towards the same catastrophic events taking place at a worldwide level.

He has also delved into research from the topics of paranormal and UFOology,

and he has come to believe that the paranormal ufology and ancient

human history may have more in common than most want to admit he has also appeared on numerous

paranormal television podcast and radio shows james welcome how you doing tonight doing well thanks

for having me on chris yeah thank you so much for joining us. I've

been looking forward to tonight. We're going to be discussing not only our hidden history,

evidence of advanced civilizations and interactions with otherworldly beings, but your own

personal experiences that brought you to your research. And I thought that was a great place to start.

So let's start there.

I understand you had experiences from a very early age, starting with a near-death experience.

Is that right?

That is correct.

When I was about 18 months old, I drowned, fell into a swimming pool,

and had been in there for approximately 10 minutes before I was found, and it took quite a while

to bring me back. And after that near-death experience,

had some brushes, some run-ins with paranormal,

specifically with, you know,

I guess what you would consider shadow figures.
