This is an email that I got from somebody who sends me stories regularly.

He's very credible.

He writes really well, and every time I see an email from Todd, I get so excited because

I know it's going to be a good story.

He's a researcher and he collects these stories, and then he writes them out in a real

cogent manner so that he interviews people, and he loves gathering all these stories.

I hope to get to talk to him someday, but I'm going to read this, and I think you're

really going to enjoy it.

Thanks Todd for sending it.

It was a cold Halloween evening in the desert.

Two gentlemen had just traveled halfway across the country to join me.

On an outing, they hopefully would never forget.

In the end, it would be a life-changing evening for both of them.

They were both in their late twenties and were lifelong friends.

Though they had grown up and done everything together, only one of them was a believer.

Because of their strong friendship, I didn't understand how their beliefs about aliens

and Bigfoot could be so different.

You know, as our beliefs are largely determined from our experiences and environment, so with

that always being the same with them, you could call me surprised.

It was 9 p.m. and our destination was 20 miles into the middle of the desert, so we climbed

into my vehicle and set off through town.

During the drive, I asked them both questions to help me get to know them a bit better.
