00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Hello everyone, my name is Peter Krees and you're listening to Into the Void, a show where I dedicate myself to finding the who, what, when, where, and hows in a world full of whys.

2
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Today I'm joined by a special guest, he has a doctorate in archaeology and Egyptology. Now under the guise of anonymity he wants to remain anonymous, so instead of using his real name we'll call him Dwight for the purposes of this interview.

3
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Dwight, you on the line?

4
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Yes I am, how are you doing Peter?

5
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:55,000
I'm doing great, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to call into the show and tell us your story, which is a harrowing story by the way.

6
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Yeah, of course, I'm not too busy right now, I'm actually not able to leave the country. So yeah, I came here to Egypt actually, as you said I'm an archaeologist and an Egyptologist.

7
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Before you get started, you were currently in Egypt now?

8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Yes, that's correct, I'm actually not able to leave due to some ulterior circumstances that I quite don't understand right now and I'm trying to figure it out while kind of laying low at the moment.

9
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Okay, well why don't you just hop right into it, tell us how you got into these circumstances of being trapped in this country.

10
00:01:46,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Yeah, of course Peter, my team and I, we actually had an opportunity to come to Egypt, we were doing some anthropological research in Thebes, the Valley of Kings region, well known.

11
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And we got here and ended up in Cairo and decided to spend a little time on the town, we got off the plane and when we got in we decided a couple of us could use a drink to be honest.

12
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And we ended up just kind of set into a little booth there and we were talking over what our excavation plans were when an interesting conversation caught our ear from the bar area.

13
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Now your team consists of you and how many members? Just a small group I assume?

14
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:09,000
It's a small group, yeah, there's four of us, myself included, just to tackle as much ground as we can to really spread ourselves out within reason as far as monetary reasons go.

15
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And we were sitting there and at the bar we overheard a little bit of a piece of conversation about, it seems like they were treasure hunters, believe it or not.

16
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Didn't know they were still around.

17
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
No, no, that's news to me.

18
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Yeah, yeah, they were talking to each other and the name Hamanoptra come up and they were talking about that area and they, we heard something about that.

19
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Now for those who don't know, Hamanoptra is?

20
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Hamanoptra is a mythical city that resides right off the west bank of the Nile.

21
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Okay, so there's no way they could know this city actually exists. It's a myth, a legend.

22
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,000
No, it's absolutely a legend. Yeah, well that's what we thought.

23
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:18,000
So we decided to take a little detour once we actually got to the same area.

24
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:35,000
We went to bed, got all of our stuff ready for the next day and when we got to it we took some trucks and just went right down to the area.

25
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Now something absolutely fascinating about that is once we got down there we found a fireball of a riverboat.

26
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Apparently the riverboat that we later found out was actually the vessel that these people that we overheard took was their boat.

27
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I assume everyone was okay. You are laughing, I mean.

28
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I know, I mean that was nervous laughter. I don't know if everybody made it out. I'm hoping so, but at least the people that we knew did.

29
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Now riverboat, that's, is that a... Yes, that's an old time, I couldn't believe that they decided to take it.

30
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:31,000
There was absolutely the resources that they could have used to get down there a little more economically.

31
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:41,000
It sounds more like they were more leisure hunters, so to say. They weren't very serious about their plans to say, quote unquote, grave rob.

32
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
I don't know what you would call what they were planning to do.

33
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:51,000
You hear the term treasure hunter, you assume that maybe they're up to something a little bit...

34
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Nefarious, if you will.

35
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:03,000
I wouldn't say nefarious. Yeah, yeah, you did say it, but maybe something a little bit outside of the normal bounds of traditional excavating.

36
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Gotcha, copy.

37
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Yes, and the law, yes. Yes, quite the folks.

38
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:23,000
And so we end up down there and where we're driving and we see, we actually didn't head out as soon as they did.

39
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I think they started out immediately, so they were a little bit ahead of us, shows how, you know.

40
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
As far as you can get on antiquated transportation.

41
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Yes, but they were still ahead of us.

42
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So, yeah, we saw the wreckage and it was unbelievable.

43
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:51,000
But the people that we presume treasure hunters and a bunch of other people aboard the boat seem to have the same destination.

44
00:06:51,000 --> 00:07:03,000
We ended up on the side of the river with the people that were on the correct side of the river towards the actual destination of Hamanoptra.

45
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:12,000
And the other side had a bunch of horses and they were both laughing at each other thinking like, oh, well, we have the advantage.

46
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
You know, but I guess those horses were pretty quick.

47
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:23,000
There must have been a bridge somewhere because apparently they were able to get over the the Nile there.

48
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
So we end up.

49
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
This is this is where the craziness actually begins to start.

50
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Sorry, I'm a little on edge.

51
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Take your time. Take your time.

52
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
There's no rush.

53
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Yeah, it's just been a bunch of crazy stuff going on.

54
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:54,000
So we end up the all the groups that culminated, we were all together and no one was heading towards the location.

55
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
And we couldn't head towards the location because we had no idea where it was.

56
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
We didn't have a map. We didn't have anything.

57
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Again, mythical city. You're just going out there in hopes that maybe one of them will lead you to.

58
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Well, I mean, the chance that a new anthropological place to go digging, that would that would be monumental.

59
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And the most bizarre, I'll use that word.

60
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I'll just say bizarre.

61
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
OK, OK. Well, we'll let our listeners decide on whether or not this is right.

62
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,000
This the sunrise occurred and it just started to get hazy from the sand up.

63
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Now, is your typical Mirage Hayes or is this is this something you've never experienced before in a desert?

64
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
This is nothing I've ever experienced before in the desert.

65
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
I honestly haven't experienced much of that because we're well hydrated.

66
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I mean, we have we're we're absolutely sufficiently we have our nutrients and all of a sudden it just looks like,

67
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
you know, the phenomenon with the grill, like you see the waves come up.

68
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Well, this is going sideways, sideways, you say downwards and in a spiral.

69
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
It was it was unreal.

70
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:29,000
So not a not a natural weather phenomenon that you are used to seeing or that anyone else has really been used to seeing.

71
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:37,000
No, no. And we all, you know, give it up to, you know, perhaps it's just a phenomenon with like this certain part of the world.

72
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
You see that with other parts of the world.

73
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Absolutely. It's unique, but it's not.

74
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
You weren't concerned at the time to see it.

75
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:59,000
No, no, no, we weren't. But once this phenomenon dissipated, all of a sudden we could see an ancient Egyptian city.

76
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
It just came out of nowhere.

77
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000
No, again, this is this is not a mirage.

78
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:15,000
This is not an optical. No, this is this is a city that you yourself, I guess, materialize out of out of nothing.

79
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Well, there'd be one hell of a materialization because all of us saw it.

80
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
We all started riding towards it.

81
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:36,000
We definitely beat them there because, again, we still had our trucks and they bet us a couple hours later.

82
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And we decided to just set up camp. We located the entry points to most of the underground civilization.

83
00:10:46,000 --> 00:11:04,000
And while we were doing that, one of the the actually the guy, the guy that we overheard from at the bar came up to us and, you know, kind of question us on what we were doing there.

84
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
He didn't seem too threatening. Seemed very nice.

85
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:19,000
But we could tell that the campfire that he came from, they had a guy with a bunch of, you know, a couple of guns on his waist there, you know, typical American cowboy.

86
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

87
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Indiana Jones type. Well, he wants to be more menacing than he probably actually is.

88
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Yeah, I would say so.

89
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:50,000
But there was something about his his character. It seems like he'd been there before, you know, he had that kind of the kind of or Augusto Augusto Augusto, I would say, isn't that definitely the he had someone who had knowledge of the city before.

90
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Supposedly this being the first time anyone has ever really seen it.

91
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Well, no one had said anything to us, but he seemed to be the person who knew where to go.

92
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
He was knowledgeable in the city.

93
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Exactly. Which leads us to the next day.

94
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:16,000
They start going right into a specific entryway where we're all up. We all see this happen. They just go in.

95
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:26,000
They know what they're doing. And same with the other group. They go in on an adjacent side and just dive right down into the pit.

96
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:35,000
And as being just a bunch of scholars, you know, we didn't want to mess around with a bunch of gun toting adventurers.

97
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Makes sense, makes sense.

98
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:48,000
So we decided to kind of walk around the ruins, look at some of the obelisks, statues, read them, decipher.

99
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,000
So we're more staying above the ground, not going so far down.

100
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah, no, we're not going down into a dark, dank cave with a bunch of people with pistols and rifles, you know, looking for safety.

101
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Safety first, am I right?

102
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Yeah, me and my team, that is our number one priority at all times.

103
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:24,000
So we are there and we have a day. We go around, we find some interesting things and we end up turning in.

104
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And as soon as I think we had a good point of sleep, which is tough in the desert there, we end up hearing screams.

105
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:45,000
We just hear just screams, yelling. And we didn't know what was going on.

106
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Could you tell from where you were, where these were the people in the camp?

107
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Was it was outside of the city, just maybe echoing across the desert?

108
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Well, it ended up being somebody who had come out of the underground area.

109
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Oh.

110
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Yeah, and we didn't know what happened to them.

111
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:15,000
But it turns out that they had been eaten.

112
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Eaten?

113
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:30,000
But not exteriorly. They were actually eaten by a ancient bug.

114
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:43,000
So you're telling me that encased in this city, there was also a bug, I'm assuming presumed to be extinct by now or something that was carnivorous?

115
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Yes.

116
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
And it attacked these men?

117
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:55,000
It attacked these men. It ate its way into his body and didn't leave.

118
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,000
By this point, we're ready to go. We don't know what's going on here.

119
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
We're just looking to get some research. We already had a plan to go to another site.

120
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
We were already ready for that.

121
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000
You already had a day. You thought this is one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time.

122
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:24,000
And now you're just now learning that a man went into an underground cavern and was eaten alive by ancient bugs?

123
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Yes.

124
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I understand why you would want to to hightail it out of there.

125
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
That sounds like a very terrifying prospect because now that's open.

126
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
What if those bugs get out? I would want to leave as well. I understand.

127
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000
So this is the point where we end up in our predicament.

128
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Once we decide to do that, we pack all of our gear. We try to hightail it out of the city.

129
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
All of a sudden, this seems ridiculous. I don't expect you to believe me, but it seems almost biblical.

130
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:12,000
There was a storm on the horizon that came towards us and we had no idea what it was.

131
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
It was nighttime. We couldn't discern what was actually happening.

132
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:29,000
A cloud of locust came down and pretty much just purged the entire camp.

133
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:38,000
It was the most frightening thing I have ever laid witness to.

134
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Now, swarms of locusts aren't out of the ordinary in certain parts of the world.

135
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Sometimes I know locusts, they sleep for four to eight years.

136
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Sometimes they do all hatch at one time.

137
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
They always come in.

138
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Was this one of those times? Or did this seem more...I don't want to use the word paranormal or like a cult?

139
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,000
You're exactly turning upon that.

140
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
After this had passed, we all came to our senses.

141
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,000
We figured out that...no, we reasoned that this happens. We just happened to be here.

142
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,000
It was just a little spooky after we had just seen someone perish.

143
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:43,000
I can see where you stumbled upon a other weather phenomenon that somehow, I wouldn't say, manifested the city.

144
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
You saw a crazy weather pattern. A city appeared on the horizon.

145
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Now you're dealing with ancient bugs who killed a man.

146
00:17:49,000 --> 00:18:03,000
I can see where the high strangeness, where your mind might be going to places other than a standard set of coincidences.

147
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Yes, that's exactly where we were.

148
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,000
We were just a little bit fatigued mentally and emotionally.

149
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:19,000
When all of that came together there, we didn't know what to think of it.

150
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:26,000
What did we do? We just decided to go home.

151
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:34,000
We went up back to Cairo and ended up in a hotel there.

152
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:48,000
This is where it gets undeniably tough to reason with what actually happened.

153
00:18:48,000 --> 00:19:02,000
We're there and it evidently turns out that these other people that we were with at Hominoptra came back to the same hotel.

154
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000
They seemed shaken beyond belief.

155
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
This isn't even the first hotel you met them at or overheard them at the first time around.

156
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
This is a whole new location you guys are at?

157
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
This is a whole new location, yes.

158
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
The chances are...

159
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000
We couldn't believe when we had seen them.

160
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:33,000
I think one of my team members saw them entering the lobby.

161
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:40,000
You made it back from the desert, you go to a hotel in Cairo, you said?

162
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
In Cairo, yes.

163
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000
It just so happens that the other team who was there is also here.

164
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000
What happens next?

165
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
We are not happy to see them there.

166
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
We were trying to put this all behind us.

167
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
We were trying to go home.

168
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
They were definitely unperturbed.

169
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,000
They were absolutely at a point of unrest with what had just happened to themselves as well.

170
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Understandable.

171
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
It's a very traumatic situation for everyone, I would assume.

172
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I end up actually passing out.

173
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
I am exhausted.

174
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,000
The next thing I know, I'm waking up to...

175
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:39,000
I don't know how to say this without sounding crazy.

176
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:47,000
I wake up to people shouting and running around.

177
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:57,000
There were fireballs falling from the sky, hail, massive hail,

178
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:04,000
that was just demolishing the city.

179
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I didn't know what would cause that.

180
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
It looked like a meteor shower on steroids.

181
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
I couldn't understand what was happening.

182
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
So not only is it fireballs, it's also hail?

183
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Or are you saying fireballs the size of hail?

184
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Either way, an extremely crazy scenario.

185
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
It's an absolute blur.

186
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
I can't even fathom what I had seen.

187
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:37,000
You can chalk this up to maybe, let's say, you see meteorites, comets, what have you,

188
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
break up in the Earth's atmosphere all the time.

189
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,000
You wouldn't think this could be shrapnel from, say, a comet blowing up.

190
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
It seems like an aerial raid.

191
00:21:48,000 --> 00:22:00,000
There was an ex-Air Force pilot in the hotel at the time who did not know what was going on themselves.

192
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
They had never seen anything like this, and they had served in a war.

193
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
It was unbelievable.

194
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
We couldn't make anything of it.

195
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
We were trying to get out of there at that point.

196
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000
We were trying to just leave, and then we were stopped by guards.

197
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:28,000
They knew that we were out of the country, and they said we couldn't leave right now.

198
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
It was unsafe.

199
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
So these are government officials that are telling you this?

200
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
I'm assuming it's government officials. Absolutely, yes.

201
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Do you know if there's any reason why they would stop you from leaving the country?

202
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000
I could only imagine it was because of what we bear witness to.

203
00:22:46,000 --> 00:23:01,000
If this is some kind of independent thing that is happening in this one specific area that they don't want to get out,

204
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:12,000
it's endless. I can't imagine. It ends up that a few team members of the Adventurers there actually ended up dying of unknown causes.

205
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:20,000
I actually saw a stretcher being moved out, and it looked like there was nothing but a skeleton underneath.

206
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
I couldn't imagine what happened.

207
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Really?

208
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Yeah.

209
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Wow, just wow.

210
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Just a bunch of paranormal things happening all at once, and I don't use that word lightly whatsoever.

211
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000
I don't think I've ever used it definitively in my life.

212
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000
But you can say definitively right now. This falls under the category of paranormal.

213
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:47,000
It's not something you can explain. Science can't explain it.

214
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Would you classify what you experienced as paranormal?

215
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:02,000
As a doctor, being experienced in the field and seeing what I have seen, nothing like this,

216
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:11,000
especially in correspondence to each other, has ever, ever happened.

217
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I'll be honest, Peter. I'm pretty scared about what's going on,

218
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
the fact that me and my team aren't able to leave.

219
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:30,000
If you can make any sense of this, if any of your listeners can make any sense of this,

220
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I would love to hear it because we're stuck here. We're in a hotel.

221
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:43,000
I'm only able to get in contact to you through a cell phone that we were able to get a hold of.

222
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:52,000
I don't think I have too many opportunities to get a hold of you again.

223
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:02,000
If you can send some words out there and see what you come back with, please try to reach me in time.

224
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:09,000
We'll definitely get your story out there and we'll get it out.

225
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000
We'll make sure that people know what's happening.

226
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Just a follow-up question real quick. After the guards told you you couldn't leave the country,

227
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
what happened next? Did everything just kind of stop the quote-unquote paranormal activity?

228
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Or were you subject to anything else? Or was that basically you can't leave,

229
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,000
we're going to move you from this hotel to a more quarantined area and that's where you are now?

230
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:43,000
That's where we are now. Yes, we have orders to leave our hotel room at daylight tomorrow.

231
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:52,000
I'm calling you right now. What is it in our time right now? It's about 1.28 a.m.

232
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,000
So in just about a few hours we're going to be woken up and moved to a different location.

233
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,000
I don't know what the location is going to be. The guards seem to be pretty civil,

234
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,000
but they also seem to be very strict and reliant on their duties.

235
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Understood. So do you feel like your life is in danger or do you feel that this is something that will be resolved

236
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
and you will be free to go?

237
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:32,000
I feel like I'm in better hands than what is going on outside of the parameters that I'm in.

238
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:40,000
I think something is actually amiss and I don't know how to classify it.

239
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Everyone is pretty hush hush here, but it just seems like it's getting worse and worse

240
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:58,000
and I don't know if there is some kind of...I don't know if something is coming.

241
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
It feels like something is coming.

242
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:08,000
This is the first that I'm hearing of this, so that must mean that the Egyptian government has everything pretty hush hush over there.

243
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,000
I feel like something of this magnitude would have gotten out, but if they are quarantining the region

244
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:28,000
and keeping the mummy's curse under wraps, you would think we would hear something of this.

245
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:36,000
I just want to thank you for the risk you are taking right now for bringing this story to the world.

246
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000
I know I am grateful for it, our listeners are grateful for it, and if I can think of any information

247
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
or if the listeners have any information on what might be happening right now in Cairo,

248
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:52,000
please, please, please get in touch with the show and I'll try and forward that information to you.

249
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Please get back home safely. Your safety is one of my top concerns, Dwight.

250
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Thank you very much, Peter.

251
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Alright, well you have, I guess, a wonderful evening or the best you can under these circumstances.

252
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
And again, I really appreciate you calling in.

253
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Yes, of course. Thank you for your time.

254
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Wow, wow, what a powerful story.

255
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Alright, well that pretty much wraps up our time. I just want to thank all our listeners for tuning in.

256
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
And I want to thank again, Dwight, for calling.

257
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:35,000
And please tune in next time and hopefully we will have a follow up to this story.

258
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000
So everyone out there, keep your eyes to the sky and keep your ear to the ground.
