The Basement: Joshua Cutchin | Fairies, Bigfoot, and the Connection Nobody Saw Coming Josh Cutchin is a researcher, author, and musician whose work occupies a rare space between rigorous scholarship and genuine open-mindedness.Over eight books he has built a unified argument that Bigfoot, fairies, UFOs, near death experiences, and ghosts are not separate phenomena but facets of the same ancient, shape-shifting presence. His 2022 masterwork Ecology of Souls is considered by peers to be among the most important books in ufology in decades, and was included in Rice University's curriculum for first year PhD students in religion. His footnotes are legendary. His thinking is genuinely original. A trained tuba player who studied under Canadian Brass legend Fred Mills, Josh brings the same obsessive attention to detail to paranormal research that he once applied to music. And his central argument — that everything weird points back to the same door — is impossible to dismiss. #Bigfoot #Paranormal #Aliens #AJGentile #JoshuaCutchin 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Joe Stone Drew Sullivan Brandon Snyder Ryan Fitzgerald Producers: Victoria Young Haley Burke Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

I really loved when he said this..."Know the difference between who someone told you you are and who you truly are." Really resonated with me.

Smells. Omgosh. My mom was in hospice in September 2019. She past when my brother and I had to go and pick up her things in the nursing home as they needed the bed and knew my mom would not be coming back. On the way back we picked up my oldest son who lived in the area. Upon entering her hospice room, we all turned and looked at one another. The nurse asked us what was wrong. Nothing was wrong, it’s just that the entire room smelled like Pleasures from Estée Lauder that my mother wore religiously for the past 20 years. She said many times when a person passes, if there’s a smell one associates with them (cologne, perfume, chewing gum, cigar, etc) people who they loved and loved them can smell them. It’s them telling you they are still around for a bit. The nurse couldn’t smell it but all three of us did. It lingered for an hour and we talked about her and what we would miss most now that she was gone, the smell slowly dissipated over an hour. But it was a very profound experience for all of us. We also told her to send us dimes when she thought of us in the beyond and we all get dimes in weird places to this day.

Cutchin's work is so underrated and I hope this helps propel him to another level. I love that you're not time constrained, and just let people tell their story.

I thought Joshua looked familiar to me. My late wife was from Athens Georgia. Joshua would play his tuba in the Mardi Gras events in Athens. He worked at UGA, wrote articles for The Athens Banner Herald, I saw him at Mystic South and he has a New Orleans jazz band in Atlanta called "Funkcake" that I saw a few times.

What frustrates me most about the UFO/Alien phenomenon is that the powers that be who either know or don't know, want to hide that from us.

Years ago I was writing a book. I never finished it. There was a moment where a murder of crows violently fly into eachother until they form the shape of the evil queen. Years later, I saw the exact same scene in Snow White and the Huntsman. That was the moment I realized ideas are not our own and if I have a good one, I better get it out before it's given to someone else who will.
