0:00.0	I would see them outside at night, but they would always be just far enough out of visual range that I could get any kind of idea of what they were besides eyes and a faint outline that would indicate a shorter entity.
0:25.6	They claim that our eyes would just be treated a slightly different than they are.
0:32.6	We talked to see things to our world. ... Welcome to Strange Familiers. How are you doing tonight, Allison?
1:02.4	I'm doing well.
1:04.2	Tonight I will be talking with John, who was on the show before, and he had a Bigfoot
1:08.3	story and a UFO story and a few other stories he shared with us.
1:11.7	And he mentioned at the time he had more stories.
1:14.0	And I think I spent probably a year or more going back and forth trying to get him scheduled again for another time.

1:39.6	But he also has a static man citing some shadow people things.
1:43.2	An entity he called the copper man and
1:45.4	what sounds like maybe an earth elemental. So a variety of sightings from John, and we'll get
1:50.9	to him in just a second. Before we do, I want to thank our patrons. Thank you patrons. Strange
1:55.0	Familiar could not happen without you. If you like strange familiars and you'd like to help
