This week Eric and Lon welcome Prolific paranormal blogger Rick Philips to the show. The first 30 minutes of the interview are choppy due to Skype but the last hour of the interview was excellent with Rick and you don't want to miss it. We are going to get Rick back on the show in May, so a new date will be announced soon. Until then enjoy the podcast with Rick Philips and BTE Radio.
Rick Phillips was born in 1952 in Shamokin PA but lived in Ohio within a year and grew up in Euclid Ohio. His first memory was on the day of his third birthday party while walking outside, and, he had his first `thought in his head', which was `I AM THREE'. His first startling I AM moment. Soon after, his family moved into `the projects' built for the returning GI's after World War 2 and Korea; his dad was a returning Navy man and destined to become a Fireman and eventual President of his firefighters union. His group organizational skills would have a strong influence on Rick - as did his fathers interest in gambling and a full understanding numbers and chance.
Phillips's mother was a young beauty - under twenty when Rick was born and somewhat of a rebel shortly after. Certainly one who spoke her mind as upon seeing her son for the first time at birth, described him to her mother as `ugly, with red hair like you' (the one thing she didn't want was a red haired boy). Phillips never really had red hair - and the dark blond color he had started going gray at 25 and now is nearly fully white in appearance. But, the rebel spirit was certainly imbedded by early influences of his mother such as declaring that `Ricky will not go to Sunday School' - followed fairly quickly by his mother finding `Humanitarianism' as her new religion. She was one of the first to attend a Rock And Roll Show in Cleveland Ohio (another strong Rick Phillips Influence) and one of the first `working mothers' - which quickly lead to her divorce and she and Rick moving elsewhere (4 times in 6 years) all in Euclid. During one of these situations Rick lived with his mother and her parents - including a grandmother that often said about UFOs (in Rick's earliest memories) `Oh, I wish they would land and take me'. When Rick's mother eventually re-married - Rick's political positions would be influenced by his slightly older step-brother returning from Vietnam shot up with shrapnel and addicted to heroin. At about the same time - Rick's mother indicated she and her husband had gotten `high' on pot. Much to handle and think about while 15-17 years of age.
So, perhaps as a result of the above - Phillips followed the path that ultimately would include the strongest of the aforementioned attributes. Indeed, even from the earliest of ages, and awareness, Phillips remembers many possible non-ordinary realities; such as:
Time Distortion as a child when throwing a stone at someone and as the stone went towards the persons back - time slowed down significantly in his perception.
A one time `we won't hurt you' bedroom visitor who instilled sleep movement immobilization and speech immobilization - under age six.
Poltergeist phenomena in home - most likely of the grandfather he was living with at the time of his sudden death when 13 years old.
Automatic writing/Thinking - From 1974-1976 would have to suddenly write concepts he knew nothing about - later to find he was writing Phenomenology ideas similar to Husserl and Sartre when he found those thinkers works. Phillips calls these ideas `The Phillips Phenomenology' and it forms one of his foundations of looking at the anomalous phenomena in the world. He has two blogs that deeply dig into his phenomenology - one called `What Is Not Able To Not Be Is' http://whatisnotabletonotbeis.blogspot.com/ and the other is Phillips's main esoteric blog and his first investigations into the worlds Fortean phenomena - it's called `The Heavy Stuff' - http://theheavystuff.com/ .
Telekinesis witness - 1973 with former roommate at Ohio University, Curt Chaplin - the hallway interview guy, of `The People's Court' for the past 15 years. The telekinesis happened at a pre-selected `power spot' and was during extreme talks of Chaplin and Phillips about Carlos Castaneda's first book - The Teachings of Don Juan. Specifically, Chaplin and Phillips were by far MOST interested in the appendix of the book called `The Structural Analysis'. (Have REVERSE related event with John Flower.)
Full blown Missing Time Incident with Two Others - 1986 with intellectual friend John Flower (so intellectual that he was once an actor for an ad in Rolling Stone that called for a `40's bearded intellectual'). The description of what is remembered of the structure of this `time gap' is worth listening to and thinking about. One great post on The Heavy Stuff Phillips wrote was called `The Missing Space of Missing Time Incidents'. Phillips also may have had a `smaller' missing time incident in the mid-70's also.
Controlled Lucid Dreaming - About a dozen times using Carlos Castaneda's technique of `finding ones hands' in a dream and then setting up a phenomenology there. Phillips describes this reality state as totally unique.
Close Up UFO Sighting - 1991 - Very close sighting with a great background story. Ultimately, this has led Phillips to be a near daily UFO blogger. His highest rated (Alexa) blog is called UFO Disclosure Countdown Clock - http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com/ started in 2007 and put into near daily full gear since 2010 and now with over 450 posts.
But, all of the above - has been fed into the mind of Phillips - which also has had `interesting experiences' beyond the near automatic esoteric phenomenology writing (BTW, most of Phillips's blogs are indeed just that type of approach.) Most of those `outside influences' came as the result of exposure to some of the best thinkers of `un-natural things' - Such as Ouspenski and Gurdijeff, -- when in the mid 1970's - Phillips attended along with J.Flower some `4th Way' Meetings; barely skirting the `higher awareness' cultlike folk they met at the meetings. Nonetheless, Phillips found and finds the awareness teachings of The 4th Way extremely powerful in being aware of mental processes.
Phillips' mind was also influenced by the full range of drug experiences available in the 1970's - including even prolonged Nitrous Oxide usage. He has also been a lifelong advocate for marijuana as an alternative to alcohol - even marching (some would say leading at one point) with July 4th protesters in Washington D.C. in 1979 - ending up hanging on the White House picket fence and getting run off by DC Cops. He continues his advocacy and showcases his politics at two blogs including `Barf Stew' and `Real Heavy Politics'.
In his business career, Phillips has done marketing research, both qualitative and quantitative for some of America's biggest companies and did one-on-one and focus group research, as the moderator, on new products decades ago - that are used in everyday life today. His business bio can be found here http://streetlevelviews.com/5.html. Indeed, eventually when Phillips moved into doing Restaurant Trade Area Research as a recognized expert - clients would be making million dollar decisions based on his recommendations.
The ultimate result of all the above is an engaging speaker with possible insights and definite opinions that are often unique. Phillips also has contributed to a new book about to be released in 2012 by Robert Cheatham called Materialization's and Manifestations (UFO Drag Queen) - who has gathered bloggers such as Phillips, Bruce Duensing and Eric Kuersten all of whom can be found on Phillips's Esoteric Blog called `The C Influence' -- Oh, BTW, Lon Strickler also is a contributor to TCI.
Phillips has also appeared on internet radio shows such as L. A. Marzulli's, and the UK show `Now That's Weird', and, is also considering using some of the posts of his blogs as a basis for a solo book project.
Due to the cancellation with our guest tonight, BTE is holding one of our popular open mic nights. Joining us tonight is our color commentator the "Forkchop" Sean Forker. Although we get off to a late start, we have a great discussion on the show from the latest happening in the paranormal, paranormal frauds and fakes and the changes happening in 2012. Tune in to find out what Eric, Lon and Sean are talking about on this show.
BTE Radio returns live this week and ready to kick off 2012. This year we plan on new and exciting things and continuing to bring you the best in Alternative talk radio with exciting subjects and new guests. We start the year off with our first new guest to the show blogger Courtney Mroch as we discuss her Haunt Jaunts paranormal travel blog and others she writes for.
Courtney Mroch was born in Denver, Colorado, on September 14,
1970. In 1992, she graduated from the University of Arizona with a B.A. in
Communications.
However, she believes her life really began when her husband was offered a job in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1999. He, in turn, offered her a deal: agree to leave the home they'd created in her adopted hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, and he'd let her stay home and write. It was a deal she couldn't refuse. She quit her job as a Bankruptcy paralegal and never looked back.
She had aspired to be a novelist, and while she still hopes to publish more books some day, she ended up becoming something she hadn't intended but absolutely adores being: a blogger. In 2006, she started blogging first in the Pets
section, then in the Marriage section, of Families.com. Within two years she was
averaging 50,000 hits per month. After racking up over a half million hits
total, failing health prompted her to quit in 2008, shortly before she was
diagnosed with Stage 2 B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Cancer was both the scariest and most amazing thing to ever happen to her. She realized what was most important to her. As soon as her health would allow, she set her sights on pursuing her passions with renewed focus and vigor.
Among the things Courtney decided to keep pursuing was her writing. She had long had an idea for Haunt Jaunts, a travel guide for restless spirits, based on her travels with her husband to haunted places. She decided it would make a good basis for a blog, as well as a good "get off the couch" project to keep her motivated and life-goal oriented as she endured cancer treatments.
That was the start of her blogging, but not the end. These days she maintains three blogs. She's: the Director of Paranormal Tourism for Haunt Jaunts, a travel blog for restless spirits. A Test Subject for the SAHW Experiment, where she shares lessons learned about love, friendship, faith and self during her life as a childfree stay-at-home wife. A Survivor Wannabe for Alien Invasion Zombie Apocalypse (AIZA) Fitness, which chronicles her adventures to get fit, keep healthy, and stay alive. She still writes fiction, and since 1999 has received 18 writing awards, including winning Jane's Stories Bite Size Review Contest and First Place in the 2010 Writers' Journal Fiction Contest. Her travel articles have appeared in TAPS Paramagazine and Duluth Superior magazine. In addition to writing and blogging, she's an avid tennis player, and loves travel, and photography and film making. Most of all she enjoys spending time with those who mean the most to her: her husband, Wayne Pryor, and their three fur kids, Murphy (a bluetick coonhound/Australian cattle dog mix), Mr. Meow (a Nebelung), and Tabby (a tabby cat). She currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee.

This week on the show we talk about wild life strange and mysterious creatures with our returning special guest, the Cryptokeeper Chester Moore.
About Chester, Chester Moore Jr. is one of the most widely recognized and respected wildlife journalists, lecturers and field researchers in North America. A lifelong outdoorsman and naturalist, Moore has launched several zoological expeditions, ranging from the wilds of Canada to the Louisiana Bayou to jungles South America, in search of such elusive beasts as the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker and the Hairy-Hominid known colloquially as Bigfoot.
Renowned for his journalistic, conservationist and photographic excellence, Moore has been the recipient of multiple awards, and has also lent his media expertise to numerous television and radio programs, including Two episodes of Ted Nugent's "Spirit of the Wild" PBS series and Six episodes of Fox Sports Outdoor Adventures". Most recently he has completed the "Southern Fried Bigfoot" documentary, which will be released sometime this year.
Since 1992, Moore has written over 300 articles, which have appeared in such magazines as The Anomalist, Texas Parks & Wildlife, Adventure Outdoors, Animals & Men and Louisiana Sportsman, and has published nearly 1,000 newspaper stories, covering a variety of cryptozoological and non-cryptozoological subjects. His columns on hunting, angling, and wildlife appear weekly in the Port Arthur News and Orange Leader newspapers and monthly in Texas Fish & Game magazine.
Moore has also taken the time from his hectic schedule to author no less than five books, on topics ranging from the Southern Bigfoot phenomenon to angling techniques for Texas Trout fishermen. His most recent publication: “Boogers, Bears, Birds and Beasts: Cryptozoology in the American South”, which he co-authored with acclaimed Professor Link Hullar, covers a multitude of topics including the Fouke Monster mystery, which has become popularized as “The Legend of Boggy Creek”, giant alligator garfish, mysterious cats, presumed to be extinct red wolves and many others!
A dedicated cryptozoological investigator, Moore is the creator of the site and is the host and founder of the annual Southern Crypto Conference, which presents awards to other industrious investigators and brings together individuals from numerous scientific and cryptozoological disciplines for the purpose of disseminating information and informing the public regarding the latest Southern cryptozoological developments.
The proceeds from this event, as well as all profits made from Moore’s books, are funneled back into field research and into the “Cryptokeeper Wildlife Habitat Education Fund”, which has created five new displays relating the importance of hardwood bottomlands conservation, and will be donated to schools throughout Texas. These displays will be accompanied with a curriculum created by Moore, which teaches children about conservation and endangered species. This is yet another reason why Moore’s work is held in such high esteem.
In addition to his cryptozoological exploits, Moore is also an avid adventurer, musician, scuba diver and martial artist. He has caged dived with great white sharks of the coast of the Farallon Islands, and also serves as the host of "Chester Moore Outdoors" a weekly radio program on Newstalk AM 560 KLVI. Chester has a brand new project he will discuss on the show called Mysterious Wildlife which begins airing soon. Visit www.mysteriouswildlife.com for more details.
