TRAVIS TAYLOR: Well, Brandon should be here any minute now. We can’t wait to hear what we’re gonna be doing this year.

BRANDON FUGAL: Hey, gentlemen. How’s it going? Good to be back.

Good to see you back out.
Hey, Travis.

Brandon, good to see you.
Great to see you. Paul. Welcome back, sir.
Hey, thank you so much for joining us again. It’s an exciting time to be able to launch the next phase of our investigation beyond Skinwalker Ranch. And to look at what you collected this last year and the groundbreaking effort in identifying sites of interest and actually bringing, I think, some of the most compelling evidence forward regarding the same type of phenomena that we’ve been seeing here at Skinwalker Ranch, catapulted this effort into the stratosphere.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Oh, absolutely. The data you’ve brought back really cross-correlates well with Skinwalker Ranch.

BRANDON FUGAL: One of the hotspots you investigated that yielded some incredible results in Phase 1 of the investigation was Mount Wilson, which happened to be owned by Robert Bigelow, my predecessor here at Skinwalker Ranch. In fact, we all know that Robert Bigelow, the elusive Las Vegas billionaire and now space entrepreneur, owned both Skinwalker Ranch and Mount Wilson at the same time.

I was frankly very surprised by the incredible results that you were able to get in your initial exploration of that property. And I think of all the properties, that is one that I wanted to go back and revisit.

Hey, guys. What’s up?

Hey.
Come on in.
Can we come in? We’re just– we’re just messing with some gear.

CARL ANDREASEN: Nice. I kind of felt like we should make you aware. Yeah, this room here, basically, last time you asked, why would Mr. Bigelow have sold this place to me? This room here, Mr. Bigelow had an encounter with what he called a shaman.

PAUL BEBAN: In this room?

JEFF MACBURNIE: In this room.

CARL ANDREASEN: While he was sleeping, like, in this bed.

In this bed?

CARL ANDREASEN: Woke up in the middle of the night. And he said the figure was so tall that it was stooping up with its head below the ceiling and it– what it tell him? Leave.

CARL ANDREASEN: Pointed right at him and told him to leave. That was the message. And we even talked to a guy from the phone company that was here the next day when he woke up, heard it first-hand from him and said that Bigelow was freaking out, that he had saw this apparition appeared to him right here in this room.

PAUL BEBAN: It sounds like this isn’t like someone sensing a presence or feeling like something is there. This is something that’s visible. We can set up cameras to– you know, if anything does happen, we’ll capture it.

Yeah, we’re not leaving, for sure.

Right, no. Yeah, we’re not going anywhere. I mean, this is– this is wild.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

PAUL BEBAN: Carl and Jeff were just kind of giving us, sort of, a friendly heads up, like, look, this is the story of this place. And I always take, especially these the idea of the paranormal stuff with a grain of salt. But of all the places we’ve been, this place may have the darkest and most disturbing, and frankly, some of the most bizarre stories we’ve heard. But you’ve got to come with an open mind. I thought this was all just gonna be for outdoor use.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): Andy, Paul and the production team set up multiple cameras in their room to attempt to record what supposedly spooked Robert Bigelow, including a new, highly sensitive FLIR HD Thermal Camera designed to capture heat signatures from objects.

PAUL BEBAN: Hey, Andy?

Yeah, man?
PAUL BEBAN: Come check this out. Look at that. What is that? What is that in the corner?
Whoa! What was that?

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Was that recorded?

PAUL BEBAN: Did you see that?
No!

I absolutely saw it.
I just turned it on. [chuckles] That was a dude in the corner. That was a dude in the corner. But then it’s gone.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: It’s gone! That wasn’t saved?
Nope, not at all.
Nope. I just turned it on. I just turned it on.

Before we even press record on half the equipment down here, I thought the shaman, we’d never get any evidence. But then, sure enough, as soon as we turned on the FLIR, we get some kind of weird shadow. Like, is that the shaman? Oh, my god.

Crazy. Dude, go back over there.
You go over there.
OK. OK, roll it.
Roll it. All right, we’re gonna roll it.

Oh, there we go. It’s live. OK. So you were over here. Blah, blah, blah, right?
Right. I think you were messing with the camera.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: OK. And– I left. It’s– I’m– It’s as– you were– I was focusing on.
ANDY BUSTAMANTE: I see you, yup. And you’re hot as the day is long.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. And then you came over here. And when you were over here, there was a dude in the corner. So what’s crazy is–

PAUL BEBAN: 100%. –the signature that was there didn’t have heat. But you had heat when you were there right now. Right. Did you– so you saw it the second before it went away?

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: I absolutely saw it. I saw it right before it– and then it reset and the image went away. It was gone. That was so wild. [laughs] Did Lee– did you get that? [groans] Man, I hope Lee got that.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Oh, man, could you imagine if we’re five minutes into this room and we already have that?

CREW: [laughs]

PRODUCER: Oh, my god, I hope this is on camera. Come on, Lee. Come on, Lee.

CAMERA OPERATOR: Here we go.

That’s it! That’s it!
That’s it right there! Now, keep watching. Keep watching.

PAUL BEBAN: That’s totally [bleep] right there.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Look at that. Look at that. Lee, you have it. Oh, my gosh, Lee, you have it.

PAUL BEBAN: And there it is! Andy walks away and it’s right there.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: It’s right behind me!

PAUL BEBAN: It’s right there. Oh, look at that, right there.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Yes, it’s right there.

PAUL BEBAN: Yeah, you can [bleep] see it. Oh, and then Andy blocks it. [men laughing] You totally have it, Lee!

PAUL BEBAN: But then it’s gone.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: And yes, just as soon as my hand clears, it’s gone. [men laughing] Awesome.

PAUL BEBAN: Check this [bleep] out.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: I just saw something that you shouldn’t see. Right? Here’s Andy. What’s that behind him in the corner? There’s someone standing in the corner of the room. There is someone standing– exactly. There’s someone standing in the corner. I’m like–

CARL ANDREASEN: There’s a person standing.

PAUL BEBAN: And I’m like, huh? Wait, watch.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Keep watching, guys. Watch. Your hands are in the way.

PAUL BEBAN: Oh, my god. But watch.

CARL ANDREASEN: Move your hand.

JEFF MACBURNIE: He’s saying move his– move–

PAUL BEBAN: I heard. Gone. What?

PAUL BEBAN: Gone. Weird. Something is weird in that corner. I’ve seen a lot of things doing this kind of work. But I’ve never seen anything remotely like that. Like, there was a moment where I was like, hey, Andy, because I’m about to lose my mind here. There’s something in the corner right behind you. I don’t even know what to say. I’m kind of at a loss for words, which is not like me. There was– there was something in that corner. I don’t know what it was, period. I want to see what the Skinwalker team makes of this. Absolutely.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): After encountering what appeared to be the entity that reportedly drove Robert Bigelow from Mount Wilson, Andy and Paul call an urgent meeting with the Skinwalker team to analyze what was captured on the thermal camera.

BRANDON FUGAL: Greetings from Skinwalker Ranch. Paul, Andy, anxious to hear what is happening at Mount Wilson.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Well, I want to say we’ve had a hell of a start to this place. One of the things that ended up happening to Paul and when we arrived is that we were given a room that was assigned to us by Jeff, the ranch owner. And Jeff came in and told us later on that the room actually had a specific history tied back to Bigelow.

PAUL BEBAN: This room is where Bigelow had been staying while he was there. There’s no other way to put it but that it was haunted. And we want to share that with you because we think we may have captured some really interesting, measurable evidence that speaks to the phenomenon that may have gotten Bigelow off that ranch.

Am I to understand that you actually took instrumented measurements in the room where Mr. Bigelow had those experiences?

PAUL BEBAN: That’s exactly right. I can’t wait to see it. Yeah, I’m on the edge of my seat here.

PAUL BEBAN (ON RECORDING): Whoa!

ANDY BUSTAMANTE (ON RECORDING): Was that recorded?

PAUL BEBAN (ON RECORDING): Did you see that? No!

ANDY BUSTAMANTE (ON RECORDING): I absolutely saw that.

PAUL BEBAN (ON RECORDING): I just turned it on!

ANDY BUSTAMANTE (ON RECORDING): What is that?

PAUL BEBAN (ON RECORDING): What is that in the corner?

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Wait a minute.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE (ON RECORDING): That was a dude in the corner!

PAUL BEBAN (ON RECORDING): That was a dude in the corner.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Wait, I saw somebody walk in front of the camera.

BRANDON FUGAL: No, it was right in the back. It was like a hooded figure.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Right, you can see there’s the purple stripe is the cool corner of the room.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: OK.

PAUL BEBAN: When we roll it back, now look at that corner. That’s from just a moment before. Can you frame advance very slowly?

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: Absolutely. Now, here I step in front of the camera until a later moment.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: It’s gone there.

ANDY BUSTAMANTE: There’s a very important frame that I think will help shed some light on this. So you’re about to see my image pop up on the thermal camera. And I’ll appear in front of whatever that entity, whatever that image is.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: That’s interesting.

ERIK BARD: OK.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: OK. right there.

There.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Stop.

ERIK BARD: There’s a dark feature that we saw in the initial image.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: I still see the– the hands, and the face, and the body shape. Is that not weird? Now, it’s starting to get a little more obscured.

ERIK BARD: Well, the persistence of that dark area says a lot to me.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: Yeah.

ERIK BARD: You know, as I said, it’s– yeah, there it is again. OK. Ah, goodness.

BRANDON FUGAL: It obviously looks like some spectral figure, which is similar to what we’ve seen, observed and documented here at Skinwalker Ranch.

BRANDON FUGAL (VOICEOVER): In 2022, a member of Robert Bigelow’s investigative team returned to Skinwalker Ranch and recalled an incident where he saw an apparition at Homestead 2.

WITNESS: As we walk closer to Homestead 2, we felt a drastic drop in temperature. [eerie music] You could put your arm through it. And you could feel the cold versus the heat. On the second floor of Homestead 2, through the night vision device, we saw what resembled a dark, shadowy figure.

PAUL BEBAN: And here’s one of the things, a detail that really struck me, right? Was whenever– whenever one of us, whenever a person passes in front of the screen, what’s the hottest thing you see? It’s their face. Your face is bright yellow, you know, the hottest ends of the spectrum. Whatever this face is, is black. It is cold.

The part that’s undeniable is that you have an image in a FLIR of a cold object that looks very humanoid in shape that just appeared there for a few seconds. This is unique because we have a very distinct image captured with a very sophisticated piece of equipment, with witnesses participating in observing all of this play out. What an extraordinary event to be captured on camera. And I can only imagine what will be further discovered as we dedicate the resources.

All right, gentlemen, thank you very much. And we’ll see you soon.
