Key Discussion Points & Timeline

1. Early Childhood Encounters and Fear (06:02–12:23)

• Bridget recalls being visited by "small robotic grays" as a young child, which left her terrified of closets and beds at night.
• [06:12] “I have had experiences my entire life with conscious recall of those experiences going back to even when I was 2 and 3 years old with the small robotic gra(e)s in my room.” —Bridget
• The encounters faded after moving homes but were replaced by flashes of vivid, unexplainable memory.

Notable Quote:
“I always remembered that fear and that feeling of dread that it caused in me.” (06:38)

---

2. Anomalous Memories & Unexplained Visions (07:58–09:43)

• Persistent vision of a woman at a funeral, later confirmed by her mother as a real event Bridget supposedly never witnessed.
• [09:23] "'That was your great aunt’s funeral... There's no way you saw that woman in her casket, let alone to that kind of detail.'" – Bridget’s mother

---

3. Adolescence: Attempts to Thwart Night Visitors (10:01–12:23)

• Bridget describes sleeping over a vent to call for help, feeling exhausted and traumatized every morning with her strategies proving futile.
• Medical scans provided no answers for chronic exhaustion and “fuzzy” sensations in the back of her head.

Memorable Moment:
[11:22] “I was always tired and slept all the time, and the back of my head was always fuzzy.” —Bridget

---

4. Unexplained Pregnancy Loss & Near-Death Experience (12:27–17:08)

• At 19, Bridget experienced a mysterious, painful bleeding episode after praying for a second chance on Christmas Eve, resulting in a sudden, unexplained end to her pregnancy.
• [14:14] "There was this bright light, brighter than any light I've ever seen, coming through my window." —Bridget
• She describes knowing, upon waking, her pregnancy was gone—a formative trauma.

---

5. Out-of-Body Experience & Sudden Knowledge Acquisition (18:57–24:43)

• While preparing for a Japanese exam, Bridget experiences leaving her body, seeing herself smoking a cigarette, and then awakening refreshed and armed with newfound knowledge.
• [21:23] “And it was very strange being able to control my body like I was in it, but I wasn't in it.” —Bridget

---

6. Men in Black-Type Encounter During College (25:02–36:31)

• The night before an educational "Semester at Sea," Bridget and a friend encounter two unnaturally pale men in black at a Vancouver pub, who seem intent on them. Lost time and missing memories follow, including their van being inexplicably towed and odd physical symptoms the next day.
• [27:49] “There was intent behind it. They were there for me.” —Bridget

---

7. Strange Ship at Sea—Telepathic Message (40:21–44:26)

• On the cruise, Bridget observes a craft with colored lights beneath the ocean, receiving a chilling telepathic warning:
  [42:23] “You can run to the ends of the earth. You can strand yourself in the middle of the sea. We'll always be able to find you.” —Unseen entity
• This is the turning point where dread and fear escalate.

---

8. Electric Shock & Sinister Cartoon Mouse (46:46–51:28)

• Struck by lightning while touching a computer mouse, Bridget experiences a vision of a sinister cartoon mouse delivering another message of inescapability—pain and dread descends.
• [48:59] “‘It doesn’t matter what you do, we’ll always be able to find you. Haven’t you figured that out by now?’” —Voice through mouse vision

---

9. The Call to the Mountain—Mission and Road Trip Ordeals (53:13–66:09)

• Repeatedly drawn to Mount Rainier (WA) and then Denali (AK), Bridget makes multiple attempts to reach a mysterious mountain. Each journey is beset with strange obstacles: vehicles sabotaged, abnormal exhaustion, physical and psychic attacks, missing time, and a sense of being surveilled or blocked.

---

10. The Death of Her Grandmother and Profound Psychic Connection (70:37–84:44)

• During her return trip, Bridget experiences her grandmother’s death through an encounter with a “gold ball of light” entering her chest and a telepathic farewell—confirmed by the timing of her grandmother's passing.
• [74:18] “And as the light is entering into my chest, there’s some recognition there. I recognize this. …This is my grandma’s soul.” —Bridget

---

11. Post-Grandma: Anger, Determination, and Acceptance of a "Dark Path" (84:44–88:45)

• The loss plunges Bridget into despair and anger at God/the powers involved.
• A downloaded message: [85:17] “You have to walk this dark part of the path alone.”

---

12. Alaska—Climax of the High Strangeness (95:39–122:23)

• Preparation for what she sees as a “one-way trip” to Alaska, under the sense she is being led/drawn to her purpose.
• Battling relentless attacks, illness, physical and psychic threats; multiple attempts to thwart her progress by forces both human and nonhuman.
• Encounter with a malevolent “wild man” in the woods who seems immune to bullets ([114:27] “...the pellets seemed to go right through him. He wasn't even phased.”).
• Bigfoot/Sasquatch encounter: time stops, intense telepathic exchange reveals this being had been sent to stop her, but it chooses to help instead ([121:01] “It told me that its boss would be coming for me and that I shouldn't stop and I shouldn't sleep, that I should just go all the way...”).

---

13. Return: Collapse and Continued Pursuit (123:12–131:18)

• On her drive home, Bridget nearly succumbs to a panic attack. In a desperate move, she pulls her car in front of a semi for help, thinking, “I have a better shot of surviving that impact than I did if I let whatever that was that was trying to get back into my head in.” (126:17)
• With her dog and herself barely surviving, she returns home, transformed but wary.

---

14. Spiritual Awakening & The “Great Awakening” (135:50–139:26)

• The 2019 lockdown triggers a “spiritual awakening”; Bridget sees past events with “a higher perspective,” realizing she was chosen for these experiences to help usher in humanity’s awakening to the truth of reality.
• [137:51] “It was a great honor that they felt I was strong enough to make it through that. And I did.” —Bridget

---

15. The Alaska Mystery, Hybrid Child, and Final Realizations (145:09–150:14)

• During her awakening, Bridget has a recovered memory: the fetus lost at college was a hybrid child, her pursuit of the mountain was an unknowing quest for her daughter, who was telepathically sending out a beacon.
• [148:24] “I was coming for her. Even though I didn't actually consciously know what it is I was coming for, it's strong enough that she won't stop.”
• Publishing her experiences is both for the wider community and in hope her “daughter” will someday find and understand her.

---

16. MyLab Abductions & Government Involvement (156:16–164:37)

• Bridget reveals she’s a “lifelong MyLab abductee”—the US government has targeted her for her psi abilities, abducting and forcing experiencers into underground black op programs with abusive, coercive, and even deadly outcomes.
• [158:06] “Just being that feeling of being betrayed by your own people... then you’re re-abducting me, forcefully interrogating me, forcing me to do things I don’t want to do so that you can get answers for yourself... and you’re destroying people’s lives in the process.”
• She aims to expose these programs, potentially via class action lawsuits or criminal charges.

---

17. Reflections on Light, Darkness, and the Nature of Reality (165:10–170:27)

• Bridget concludes that both dark and light forces are necessary for balance:
  [165:25] “The yin and the yang... if it weren't for the darkness, you wouldn't see the stars.”
• She has mostly ceased to have experiences since her awakening—feels she’s completed a personal cycle—despite threats and warnings from those involved.

---

18. Advice to Experiencers & the Power of Truth (167:21–170:27)

• Bridget encourages silence-breakers, urging others to “stand in your truth,” share their stories for the collective understanding, and help reduce the stigma of high strangeness.
• [167:27] “I was told that I need to have the courage to speak my truth and the conviction to stand beside it. As more and more of us come forward... it makes it that much easier for others to do so.”
• She calls for collective puzzle-solving: “We all hold some of these pieces... we have to have the courage to come forward and put our piece of the puzzle out there.” (169:55)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On lifelong phenomena:
  “I don't even really consider it anomalous at this point. It's just what my life has been.” – Bridget (06:02)

• Out-of-body encounter and disassociation:
  “How can I prove that this actually happened to myself?” (19:57)

• Bigfoot/Sasquatch pause:
  “Everything stopped. Like someone had just pushed the pause button.” (120:24)

• On hybrid children and connection:
  “Apparently, we were very important to their research in that regard.” (151:02)

• On government abduction:
  “They forcefully induct you into these programs... as a teenager, they're throwing you into real world horrifying situations, trying to get you to make contact with dark entities... It's got to be stopped.” (160:18–162:01)

• Message for others:
  “Have the courage to come forward and share your truth, do your part, put your piece of the puzzle on the table.” (170:01–170:27)

Closing Thoughts

Bridget’s uninterrupted account embodies the paradox of high strangeness—absolute terror and loss countered by resilience, self-inquiry, and a drive to turn pain into clarity for others. Her journey through the inexplicable, from alien beings to government black ops to profound spiritual revelation, is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the necessity of speaking uncomfortable truths.

Her core message: Waking up to these hidden realities is not punishment, but a test and an opportunity—a call for those with pieces of the puzzle to step forward so humanity might glimpse the bigger picture.

[Bridget Anderson]

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I'm glad to Be here.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

It is wonderful to have you join us today. And you're calling from the state of Ohio?

[Bridget Anderson]

Yes.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Now, Bridget, you have a lifetime of experiences to share with us. Would you like to start at the beginning, please, ma'? Am?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Sure.

[Bridget Anderson]

Yeah.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So, yeah, my name is Bridget Anderson. I am almost 50 years old and I am a lifelong high level experiencer.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't even really consider it anomalous at this point.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It's just what my life has been.

[Bridget Anderson]

I have had experiences my entire life

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

with conscious recall of those experiences going back to even when I was 2 and 3 years old with the small robotic grades in my room. And I can remember I was so afraid of my closet. And I never wanted to go near the closet after dark. And these beings would come out of my closet and a couple of times they came out from under my bed

[Bridget Anderson]

and I could never remember what their face looked like.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I always remembered that fear and that feeling of dread that it caused in me. And as I got older, I questioned it. Was it maybe just a kid's imagination, A boogie monster? But something inside me. There was always this nagging feeling that, no, this has been going on your whole life, ever since you got here, and you remember the monsters in the room when you were younger. And so after we moved out of that house, we had only lived there the first few years of my life. After we had moved out of that house, I didn't see the small grays

[Bridget Anderson]

in my room anymore.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

At that point. I would say my life was pretty much normal as a child, but I would have these strange flashbacks or little memory bits, but memories to something that I had no conscious recall of. And I would not understand what they were. Was this a dream? Was this something I saw on tv? And it was just a flash, almost like if somebody just showed you a slide real quick. And so I could never latch onto it and figure out what it was. But they happened frequently. And so I'd always had those flashbacks. And then probably when I was around 12 years of age, I had one of these flashbacks that was continual and persistent.

[Bridget Anderson]

And in this flashback, I was looking

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

down at a woman who was laying on white silk. And I can picture it now, just as if I did when I was a child. She had short cropped blonde hair.

[Bridget Anderson]

She was wearing a navy blue dress with white polka dots. And she had a pearl necklace on. And she was sleeping on this bed of white silk. But something didn't look right, something didn't feel right. And I was looking down at this woman and I had this Flashback, this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

vision so often that finally, when I was about 12 years old, I confronted my mom and I said, I've had this vision, this memory in my head since I was a young child, as long as I can remember. And my mom asked me to tell her about it. So I proceeded to describe this woman to her and what I was seeing. And I looked up and could see the look on her face. She was horrified and I knew there was something there. And she said, that was your great aunt's funeral. We took you there when you were two or three years old. But I never took you up to the casket. You stayed with me at the back of the room. And I always made sure that you were facing the other way. There's no way that you saw that woman in her casket, let alone to that kind of detail.

[Bridget Anderson]

And she said, how could you know that?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I couldn't explain it either. I didn't know what it was. I just had this vision that just haunted me on a regular basis. And so I kind of let that go. I didn't know what to make of it. Obviously it freaked my mom out a little bit, but, you know, what could we do? It was what it was.

[Bridget Anderson]

So I kind of let that go

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

for the time being. Then when I was about 12, 13 years old, I had picked out my dream bed. This was a king size waterbed with peach, satin and lace sheets.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was my dream bed.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I picked it out shortly after getting this bed.

[Bridget Anderson]

I, for some reason chose every single

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

night to sleep on the floor over the register vent, with a blanket over my head and over the register vent. I knew by that time that something was happening to me at night, that

[Bridget Anderson]

someone was taking me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And in my 12 to 14 year old mind, I thought that if I laid over the register vent, the next

[Bridget Anderson]

time they came for me, I could scream.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And my mom would hear me through the register vents and she would come save me and keep them from taking me.

[Bridget Anderson]

Of course, no one ever came to save me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And those episodes continued.

[Bridget Anderson]

Eventually, When I was 16, 17 years

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

old, I realized, this isn't working. I'm not able to scream. They're somehow still getting me, so I might as well go back to sleeping in my bed. And so after getting that bed, it was years before I ever slept in it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And no one understood why I chose

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to sleep on the floor over a register vent with a blanket over top of me. And I didn't fully understand it either. I just felt like that was the only thing I could do to try and protect myself and it didn't work. So I knew from a very early age that things were happening to me, and I could feel it as well.

[Bridget Anderson]

I was always tired, and I slept

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

all the time, and the back of my head was always fuzzy.

[Bridget Anderson]

I complained about it so much that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

my mom actually took me in for a CAT scan.

[Bridget Anderson]

She thought there must be something wrong.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They did the CAT scan and nothing was found. But I always had just this weird fuzzy feeling on the back of my head. And I would wake up after a full night's sleep.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I had felt fine the night before when I went to sleep. But I would wake up feeling like

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I had been worked over physically and mentally. And I knew that this wasn't a dream. I'd had dreams before, but this was tangible. You could feel it.

[Bridget Anderson]

My muscles felt exhausted. I had this feeling of anxiety and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

trauma that was left over. And it was much more real than a dream. But I never had any logical reason or explanation for why I always felt

[Bridget Anderson]

that way and why I was always

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

so tired, no matter how much sleep that I got.

[Bridget Anderson]

But I knew that things were happening to me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So flash Forward then to 19 years of age. I was at my first year of university at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, and I became pregnant. So after the first semester, I came back home during Christmas break, and I was about two months pregnant at that point. And the clinic had told me that I would have the first three months

[Bridget Anderson]

to decide what I wanted to do,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

whether I. I wanted to have an abortion or have this child or give it up for adoption. So I hadn't told anyone that I was pregnant. And I came home on Christmas break,

[Bridget Anderson]

withdrew from school, and just cried myself to sleep every night.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I didn't feel like I could live with any of those options. I just didn't know what to do. So on Christmas Eve, I was once again about ready to go to sleep.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I was laying in my bed

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

crying and sobbing into my pillow.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I found myself praying.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

For the first time in my life, I was never a religious person. I was not brought up in a religious household. I had never been to church.

[Bridget Anderson]

I once asked my mom why she

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

had never taken us to church. And she said that religion was a very personal thing that she did not want forced on us, and that when we were old enough, we could seek out religion for ourselves if we wanted to. So for the first time in my life, at 19 years old, I'm laying there, two months pregnant, two and a half months pregnant, not knowing what to do, and I'm praying to God to please take this back and give me a second chance. The last thing I remember is sobbing in my pillow and praying, asking for a second chance. And then there was this bright light. I mean, brighter than any light that I've ever seen.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it was coming through my window.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I was on the second story of our house, and there was a huge tree right in front of that window. And typically, when the sun would shine in, you would see the shadows from the branches of the trees and the leaves moving. And here it is the middle of the night, and this light that's 100 times brighter than any sunlight had ever been is shining through this second story window. And the first thing I thought was, where is the shadow from the branches on the tree? There was no shadow.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was just bright light.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So then the next thing that I remember is I sit up in my bed and I take this huge deep breath, like I had been holding my breath or something.

[Bridget Anderson]

And all of a sudden I am

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hit with this pain that I had never felt before, a pain in my abdomen.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I'm thinking that something's wrong and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I'm going to have to come clean with my mom right now about being pregnant because clearly I'm going to have

[Bridget Anderson]

to go to the hospital. Something's wrong.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And this is Christmas Eve. I get out of my bed and I'm trying to make it to my door to go downstairs and wake my parents up.

[Bridget Anderson]

And as I walk around my bed, the pain just intensifies and literally knocked

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

me onto the floor.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I felt this wetness gush all, all down my pajama pants.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I thought at first that I had peed my pants. And then I turned the light on and see that it's blood, and there's blood all over me and it's dripping onto the carpet. And I'm in so much pain, I can't even move. I'm just doubled over on the floor. I grabbed some laundry and crawled onto the laundry so I would quit bleeding all over my pastel carpet. And I just laid there for hours, just immobile with pain. And this bleeding was heavy and it continued for hours.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I could hear my parents downstairs

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

laughing and wrapping Christmas presents.

[Bridget Anderson]

So after a few hours, the bleeding slowed down and I was able to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

clean myself up and hide all the bloody clothes and put something over the stain in the carpet that I had made. And I crawled back into bed and. And the next thing that I remember is my parents waking me up to open Christmas presents for Christmas morning. And I knew when they woke me up that I was no longer pregnant. I know now that those pains that I felt were contractions. But at 19 years old and never having been pregnant, I didn't know what was happening to me. But when I was woken up that morning, Christmas morning, I knew that I was no longer pregnant. And I felt that God had answered

[Bridget Anderson]

my prayer, that he had given me that second chance.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So after that incident, I ended up going back to my private university the next year at Syracuse University. And this was 1994 that I went back and I was studying Japanese foreign policy and so I was taking intensive

[Bridget Anderson]

Japanese language courses and it was finals week.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I had my big Japanese final the next morning at 8am I was going to set the alarm for 7:03am I have this thing with threes. It's always three with me, never seven o'. Clock. It would have to be 7:03 that I would set my alarm to.

[Bridget Anderson]

So I was going to set my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

alarm for 7:03 so that I could make it to my Japanese final at 8am But I was struggling in the course.

[Bridget Anderson]

My grade was low.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

If I didn't get a good enough

[Bridget Anderson]

grade on this exam, I was not

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

going to pass the course and be

[Bridget Anderson]

progressed to the next level of the language studies.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I would have to repeat that course again. So I was freaking out. I didn't think that I was going to do well on this exam.

[Bridget Anderson]

I studied as much as I could

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

day and night, but I just couldn't pound it all into my head and I just knew that I was not going to do well on this exam. So the night before the exam, I had realized that I'm going to have to pull an all nighter. I'm going to have to stay up all night and take every minute until this test to cram as much of this in my head as I can. So I never set the alarm because I never went to sleep. So I'm drinking coffee, I'm taking caffeine pills, I'm sitting at my desk and I've got my headphones on because my roommate was being loud and had some friends over. So I had some music on with my headphones and I was listening to music while I was studying for my exam.

[Bridget Anderson]

So one moment I'm sitting there studying

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

for my exam and I decide I'm going to take a break and have a cigarette. So I go over and sit on my bed and before I can even grab a cigarette or do anything, the next thing I know I'm floating up in the corner corner of my room and I'M looking at my body sitting on the bed and I don't know what's happening. I don't know what this is.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I, I will my body to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

look up at me in the corner of the room.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My body looked up and I looked into my own eyes and it was like this glass was shattering inside my, my mind.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't even know how to put that into words, what that did to me. To look into my own eyes.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I didn't understand. How am I able to control my body if I'm not in my body? Am I dead? Am I dying? How can I wrap my head around this?

[Bridget Anderson]

How can I prove that this actually happened to myself?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I had a plan that I was going to smoke a cigarette. That's what I had wanted to do. That's why I went to the bed. So I'm going to smoke this cigarette.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I actually had only had one cigarette left.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So it was my last cigarette and I was going to go ahead and smoke that. And I figured if I wake up

[Bridget Anderson]

in the morning and I still have

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

that cigarette, then I'll know that this was just some crazy dream or something. And if I wake up and the cigarette is smoked, then I'll know that this actually happened.

[Bridget Anderson]

But then I started second guessing myself and I'm like, no, that's not going to work. Because I could have woken up half

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

asleep in the middle of the night and decided to smoke that cigarette and not even remember it. What can I do to know for sure that this is really happening?

[Bridget Anderson]

So then I had a plan. I was going to smoke the cigarette halfway and I was going to put the half cigarette out. And I thought if I wake up in the morning and I have an unsmoked cigarette or even a smoked cigarette in the ashtray, then I'll know that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

this was all just crazy.

[Bridget Anderson]

Something my mind created or a dream.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But if I wake up and there's a half smoked cigarette cigarette, I'll know that this really happened. So I. I lit the cigarette. I watched myself light the cigarette. And it was very strange being able to control my body like I was in it, but I wasn't in it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I watched myself light this cigarette. I watched myself sit and smoke it to halfway. And then I put it out in the ashtray. I have no memory after that of going to sleep or laying down or anything.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

The last memory I have is putting that cigarette out at halfway. So the next memory I have is waking up.

[Bridget Anderson]

No alarm was set, no alarm went off.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But sure enough I Woke up at 7:03am and I had no memory of anything. I woke up completely naked, which was strange because I had had my pajamas on the night before. But I woke up completely naked, feeling absolutely refreshed and nothing was in my mind. I jumped up, I took a shower, I got dressed, and I left for my exam.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't know how, but I knew

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

all the answers at the exam and I knew that I didn't know all the answers the day before. I don't know how I knew the answers, but they were there. And I knew without a doubt that I had scored an A on the test.

[Bridget Anderson]

I just knew it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I left the exam feeling on top of the world. Like, I cannot believe I just aced that exam. As much as I've been stressing about it and as much as I've been struggling about it. And so I then remembered, oh, I need to get cigarettes. So I stopped and got a pack of cigarettes.

[Bridget Anderson]

And then I went back home for lunch. And I walked upstairs to my bedroom

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and I was going to sit down on the bed and have a cigarette. And when I walked in, my roommate said, oh, how'd the test go? And I said, great, you know.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I walked up to my bedroom

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and when I got to my bed, I saw my nightgown bunched up in a pile on the ground right next to to my bed. So I went to grab my nightgown to throw it into the dirty clothes.

[Bridget Anderson]

And just as I grabbed the nightgown, my roommate came to my bedroom door

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to talk with me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And as I grabbed the nightgown, I had this electric.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It was like being electrocuted, but not that intense. I had this electric feeling run through my body.

[Bridget Anderson]

And at that moment I remembered everything

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

that had happened the night before. The out of body experience.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I just immediately thought of the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

cigarette and that plan. And I turned and looked at my ashtray and there laying in the ashtray was the half smoked cigarette in exactly the position that I watched myself put it in. And at that point the rug was completely pulled out from under me. My everything started spinning, I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was going to pass out. I slid down onto my bed and later my roommate would say that when I grabbed the nightgown, she watched me go into some sort of a trance.

[Bridget Anderson]

She said my eyes just went blank and my face went completely white and she thought I was going to pass out or die. And the next thing I know, my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

roommate is standing there in my doorway

[Bridget Anderson]

crying and she's Telling me that I'm scaring her and that I need to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

go and talk to someone.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't go and talk to anyone,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

but I did start looking into out of body experiences at that point because I didn't know anything about that. So that was an out of body experience that I had in 1994.

[Bridget Anderson]

Didn't really know what to make of it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Chalked it up as yet another one of these weird events that's been happening to me my whole life. And I don't understand why these things are happening, but they continue to happen. So in 1995, I had participated in Semester at Sea.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was a program that was hosted

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

by a different university every year.

[Bridget Anderson]

They chose 500 college students from universities around the world. And they put us on a ship and cruised us around the globe.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And we stopped at 10 different countries

[Bridget Anderson]

and we would spend a few days

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to a week in each one of those countries. There were many different experiences of high strangeness that happened while I was on that ship.

[Bridget Anderson]

But the one in particular, the night

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

before I boarded the ship, I had flown to Seattle. I live in Ohio.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had flown to Seattle and met

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a fellow college student from Syracuse. It was only the two of us, actually. There were three of us from Syracuse University that were selected for this program. So me and the other student, one of the other students from Syracuse, both flew into Seattle, Washington where we met and we rented a van.

[Bridget Anderson]

And the ship was leaving from Vancouver, British Columbia.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So we drove our rental van up to Vancouver and we had got there a couple days before the ship left and checked into a hotel. And we were just so excited. I mean, on top of the world, we're about to go on this once in a lifetime trip around the world. We were going out at night to the bars and having drinks and telling everybody about this trip we were about to embark on. So the night before we were supposed to board the ship, we had been out at the dance clubs and we had been drinking. We then went to a pub. It was towards the end of the night and we were on our way home and we passed this pub that looked pretty crowded and like it was a happening place. So we decided to stop in there for a few final drinks before we went back to the hotel. And so as soon as we walked into the the pub, I had a strange feeling. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't put my finger on it.

[Bridget Anderson]

I just had a strange feeling.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And we go into the pub and up to the bar and we ordered some drinks. And as I'm scanning the room, trying to figure out, why am I having this strange feeling in here? I immediately land on these two men

[Bridget Anderson]

who are over in the corner of this pub.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And they're staring at me. And I knew instantly, as soon as I laid eyes on him, that this

[Bridget Anderson]

was what was causing this strange feeling in me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And these two men, they were all really pale, like beyond albino.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was almost like they had no coloring to them.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They were dressed in all black, no insignia or markings or anything. And these two men were just sitting in the corner of this pub, staring at me in a strange way. And I could tell that this wasn't just a random. These guys checking me out or they

[Bridget Anderson]

thought I was cute. Like there was intent behind it. They were there for me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I knew that I had a strange feeling, like, who is this and what do they want? And how would they even know that I was here? And so I got this bad feeling, like I don't want anything to do with these people. And so I turned away and started talking with my friends and the bartender, the people we had been talking with at the bar. Then a table opened up at the bar.

[Bridget Anderson]

So we decided to move from the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

bar to this table. And when we got to the table, the bartender came over with a round of shots that we hadn't ordered. And he said, these drinks were bought for you by a couple gentlemen. And I knew as soon as he said it that it was those two men that had purchased the drinks.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I turned to where they had been sitting, and they weren't there anymore.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so the bartender set the drinks down on the table. And as the bartender walked away, there were those two men standing right before our table, right there. I don't know where they came from. I didn't see them walk over.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't see them in the bar

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

when I had looked just moments before as the bartender was bringing us these shots that I knew they had bought for us.

[Bridget Anderson]

But such were these two men standing

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

right at our table.

[Bridget Anderson]

And they asked if they could join us. And they didn't wait for a response.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They just kind of said, can we join you? And they sat down at our table. And so we started telling them about the ship that we were about to

[Bridget Anderson]

embark on the next morning in this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

trip that we were going on. And they had, like, an Eastern European

[Bridget Anderson]

accent, but I couldn't really put my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

finger on it, what the accent was,

[Bridget Anderson]

but they had some sort of an

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

accent that I couldn't identify. And it sounded European, but their English was pretty good. And they had, like, a military air about them. I felt almost like they were in the military of some sort. But again, they were wearing all black. There was no insignia. So the last thing that I remember is having shots with them, doing a toast and drinking this shot with them. And then the next memory that I have is myself and the person from my university that I was traveling with. We wake up and we're laying on our bed in the hotel room. But it looks like somebody carried us into the room and just tossed us onto the bed. We're fully closed. Our shoes are still on. My purse is still around my shoulder. And the way we were laying, it's like our bodies had kind of shifted when we were thrown and was sort of, like overlapping each other. And one of my arms was bent in a really awkward way. It literally looked like somebody had carried us both in and just tossed us onto the bed. So we woke up feeling very out of it and obviously hungover from the drinking. But there was something else. There was just this clouded, sick feeling like something wasn't right. And we looked at the clock and realized that we were late. The boarding was about to start for this ship and that we needed to

[Bridget Anderson]

get out of that hotel and get

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to the dock immediately or we were going to miss this ship. So, of course we're freaking out. I mean, we had been planning for this expedition for, you know, over a year, and here we are about to miss this ship.

[Bridget Anderson]

So we're running around the hotel room,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

throwing all of our stuff into our bags, trying to get out of there. We go down to check out at the desk, and the man working the desk tells us that our rental van had been towed.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I was very confused.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I'm asking him, what do you mean it's been towed? Who. Who had it towed and why? And he said he didn't know.

[Bridget Anderson]

And at the time, there was this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

quick little thought that went through my head. And the thought was, how do you even know it was towed if you don't know who towed it or why it was towed? But we were so upset and concerned and needed to get to this ship

[Bridget Anderson]

that I just had to kind of

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

put it out of my head. And we said, well, where was it towed to? And he said, I don't know. You know, you're going to have to call the tower, the tow lots, and see who. Who has this van of yours.

[Bridget Anderson]

So we're freaking out at this point because the rest of our luggage was

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

still in this van. And so we're calling all these different tow lots, trying to figure out where this van ended up. And we finally did find the one that said, yeah, they had our rental van there. So we got a cab and had them take us to this tow yard, which was this really run down junky on the outskirts of town, tow yard. And we're thinking something is really wrong here. Like, why would our car have even been towed?

[Bridget Anderson]

And I had this like flash, this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

little flashback or memory. And in the flash, I'm sitting in the driver's seat of this rental van

[Bridget Anderson]

and it's parked up on the sidewalk

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

right in front of the hotel. Like I had driven up onto the sidewalk and almost ran into the building and stopped right in front of the building. And my hands were on the 10 and 2 position of the wheel. That's what gave it away. Because I would never, I have never put my hands on the 10 and 2 position of the steering wheel. That's not how I drive.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I could feel in this flashback that, that this wasn't an organic memory. I knew that this memory had been planted there. And in the memory I said, oh,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

fuck it, we'll just park here and we'll sort it all out tomorrow. And it was just a quick flash and then that memory was gone. And here we are, we're standing at this junky tow yard on the outskirts of town.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I, in my head, I'm thinking

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

something happened, what happened? And then those two men popped back into my head. But at this point, we don't have time for any of that. This ship is about ready to leave. The boarding's already been going on. So we go in to talk to these people to try to convince them to give us our rental car back. And they're telling us that they can't, that there's paperwork and processes and that it's going to be a couple of days.

[Bridget Anderson]

And we're telling them, absolutely not.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

This ship leaves in like an hour and we have to be on it. So we end up bribing them. We ended up paying them a bunch of money to let us get our luggage out of the van. And we told them, look, you can keep the van. We'll call the rental agency and explain what happened and tell them they're going to have to send somebody to come get this van, but we need our luggage. But this cab can take us to the docks and we don't miss this ship. So after giving them most of the cash that we had on us, they finally agreed to let us get our luggage out of the van. So we get all of our luggage. We're piling it up inside this cab. The trunk's filled. I mean, I don't know how we got it all in there. And the cab driver was not real happy with us, so he takes us

[Bridget Anderson]

to the dock and drops us off.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And there was this progression that you had to go through this boarding line. And there was, like, 12 different stations

[Bridget Anderson]

to this boarding line on the docks before you enter the ship. And one of them was checking in.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

The next one was showing your passport and your vaccinations and all of that. And then the next one is getting your ship identification made.

[Bridget Anderson]

So there's all these little stations that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

you have to go through before they actually let you onto the ship. So the person and I that we were traveling together, we start going through these stations. And as we're waiting in line for one of the stations, he says to me randomly, I think we were drugged last night. And that sat really weirdly with me. And I turned to him and I said, what are you talking about?

[Bridget Anderson]

Why would we have been drugged?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

People drugged you to rape you, to rob you, to murder you. None of those things happened to us. We weren't robbed, we weren't raped.

[Bridget Anderson]

And we're still here, so why would somebody drug us? And he just shook his head and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

he said, I don't feel right. I'm sick.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I, too, felt very sick. And I'd been hungover many times. This was not a hangover sick.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

This was sick sick.

[Bridget Anderson]

Like your head's all foggy, and you're just.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

You're having trouble keeping it together. And so, again, we just kind of put it out of our heads. I said, well, you know, I don't know why anybody would drug us or, you know, what the purpose would have been. But we're here now. We made it through all this craziness, and thank goodness this didn't cost us this trip. All because of our night out drinking last night. Let's just get through this boarding process and get on this ship. So we make it through the rest of the little dock area boarding process, and we get onto the ship, and we kind of just let out a sigh of relief. Like, wow, that was close. You know, we almost blew the whole experience, but we made it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so we.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

We were assigned to different cabins. We kind of parted ways once we got onto the ship, and we never talked about that experience again.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So while I was on the ship, there were many strange events that happened, and so many that I won't even go into all of them. But probably one of the more significant ones was while we were cruising from one country to another in the middle of the ocean. Oftentimes at night, I would go up to one of the top decks when everybody was asleep, and I would just lay up there on the ground looking up at the stars. It was so amazing, as dark as it was out in the ocean, and

[Bridget Anderson]

the stars were just so bright and so vibrant.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So a lot of times I would go up there at night just to lay around, look at the stars, collect

[Bridget Anderson]

my thoughts, reflect on what I had done in the country we were just at.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So usually I would go to the top deck so that I could look at the stars. But this particular night, for whatever reason, I went to the lowest deck and I just walked over to the edge of the ship and was just leaning on the railing, kind of looking out into the ocean, looking at the moon and the stars. And all of a sudden I see these lights. And for a second I forget that I'm on the lowest deck. And when I see these lights, I'm thinking, okay, somebody must be shining a light out of their portal or playing some silly prank.

[Bridget Anderson]

But then I realized the portals are above me. I'm on the lowest deck.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I look down into the water

[Bridget Anderson]

and I see these yellow, red and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

green lights under the water. And they're, they're getting bigger and bigger.

[Bridget Anderson]

And as the lights got closer, I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

could see that there was a ship under the water. And immediately I'm thinking, okay, this, this must be some sort of high tech sub or something. And they're just checking out our ship. And as this craft got right below the water's edge, I had a Telepathic communication in my mind. There was a man's voice and it

[Bridget Anderson]

said to me, you can run to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

the ends of the earth.

[Bridget Anderson]

You can strand yourself in the middle of the sea. We'll always be able to find you. And at that point, I was overwhelmed

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

with this feeling of fear and dread.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I just turned and ran back to my cabin. And I'm actually shaking right now, even recounting this experience.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I turned and I ran back to my cabin and I crawled up into my top bunk and I just laid there and cried and just thought, what is wrong with me? Why is all of this stuff happening to me?

[Bridget Anderson]

Is there something wrong with my head?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Do I need help? Or is there something to this? This has been going on my whole life, all these strange events, and nobody else seems to experience these things. Why me? Why is all this stuff happening to me? So I went to sleep. I mean, what could I do, you know? I went to sleep and got up the next day and just tried to put it out of my head. Really finished that shift. It was an amazing experience.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was hands down the best of

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

time of my life.

[Bridget Anderson]

That those three months of my life were the cream of the crop.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It doesn't get any better than that,

[Bridget Anderson]

just being whisked off like a tourist

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

just to one amazing experience after another. And some of the high strangeness events were good events. They were really amazing events that didn't scare me. They weren't traumatic. But after seeing that ship in the water, it's like things took a turn at that point. That was the first time that I'd really felt that overwhelming sense of fear and dread. And I knew something inside me knew

[Bridget Anderson]

this experience is different than the others that I've had. And it doesn't even feel like this experience is coming from the same source that all the others were coming from. I kind of can just sense that there's something dark. I don't want to use the word evil, but that's the word that comes to mind.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

There's something dark or evil about this. And this fear and this dread feeling that it's caused in me. I was never given that feeling from these other experiences that I've had prior to that. So the ship ended in Christmas Eve.

[Bridget Anderson]

Dropped us off on the dock in New Orleans.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I ended up staying in New Orleans for a few days and having an amazing time. Eventually, I did make it back home, and I had decided to take the next semester off of college. So much had happened to me on that ship. Not only did I have so much to process just from all of the countries that we had visited and all of the experiences of the tourism and the different things that we had done. But then on top of that, all of these experiences of high strangeness that had happened to me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so I just came to the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

conclusion that there is no way I can just start a new semester college in two weeks and just put all of this away and keep going.

[Bridget Anderson]

I need some time to process all of this.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I took the semester off.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I spent most of that semester

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

just hanging out in my parents basement sleeping a lot. I had all of my photos developed and I was reading back through my journals that I had kept while I was on this ship. And I never wrote anything about the high strangeness event in my journal. I would kind of leave myself some clues, some like coding type things that I would do in the way that I wrote and certain words that I would use and a couple images that I drew. But I never flat out wrote out those experiences in my journal. Something told me, and I'd always known that I needed to keep all of this in my head or people were going to think I was crazy. And then I wouldn't be able to lead any kind of normal life. So I spent that semester that I had taken off just kind of trying to regroup and recharge myself and wrap my head around everything that I had just experienced.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I spent most of my time

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

sleeping or I would play games on the computer down in the basement of my parents home.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so one night I was sitting

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

in the basement playing game on the computer, blazing the Oregon trail.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I would sit and play that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

game for hours and hours. And so back then the computers had the physical mouse that you had to put your hand on and move it around to move the cursor. And so I had my hand on the mouse and I was playing this

[Bridget Anderson]

video game when our house was struck by lightning.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And my hand was on the mouse.

[Bridget Anderson]

When the lightning struck our house and my hand was stuck to the mouse, I could not pull my hand off of the mouth.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I felt like this electrocuting hot pain start moving from my hand in the mouth up my arm. And as that pain is moving up my arm, I'm looking at the computer screen.

[Bridget Anderson]

And the computer screen went completely blank, completely black. And then the computer screen went completely white.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And then at that point, a little cartoon character of a mouse came out from the side of the computer screen and crawled to the middle of the screen and turned and stood up on its two hind legs.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I kind of gave this look

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

of just shock and disbelief. I couldn't believe what was happening. I didn't know what was happening. And I guess upon seeing my reaction of shock, this little cartoon mouse threw its head back and gave this laugh

[Bridget Anderson]

that was such a.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

An evil, like, maniacal laugh. It was just. I don't even know how to explain it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And the voice that I was hearing,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

the laugh and the tone of this

[Bridget Anderson]

voice did not match what I was

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

looking at, the cartoon character of this little mouse. And I'm feeling this hot pain shooting up my arm. And at this point, it's getting up to the top of my arm, about to go into my shoulder, and my hand is still stuck to the mouth. And again, a man's voice. The mouth is speaking.

[Bridget Anderson]

The mouth of the mouth is moving on the screen.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I'm hearing this man's voice in my head. The man's voice said to me. And I try to remember its exact words, but I can never remember exactly what it said.

[Bridget Anderson]

It said something to the effect of,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

it doesn't matter what you do, we'll always be able to find you. Haven't you figured that out by now?

[Bridget Anderson]

You're just wasting time. And at that point, right before that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hot pain, it was in my shoulder, and I felt like it was about to go to my heart. And that when it went to my heart, that I would die.

[Bridget Anderson]

And right as that pain was up

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

in my shoulder and I felt it was about to head to my heart,

[Bridget Anderson]

I was just suddenly thrown back from the computer.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My hand was thrown off of the mouse, and I was sitting. Our basement was a concrete floor, and I was sitting in an office chair with wheels on it. And I was thrown back with such a force that this chair went flying across our basement, all the way across our basement. And I slammed into the back wall that my dad had a weight rack set up on. And some of the weights had fallen off the rack, some of the smaller ones.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

This chair just slammed into this weight rack. And I jumped up out of the chair. And my heart was beating like a million miles a minute. I thought it was going to explode at any second. And I was shaking like a leaf, and I couldn't catch my breath. And at that point, my parents came running down the stairs, and they're like, are you okay? Are you okay? And they could see that I wasn't

[Bridget Anderson]

breathing, that something had happened to me. And they were telling me, just calm down, just breathe.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Just breathe. And I finally did take a breath. And my parents looked Me over physically, I guess, for signs of a burn or something.

[Bridget Anderson]

And they said, just calm down, you're okay. Just take a deep breath.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And that lightning strike had blown every electronic that had been plugged in in our house. Every one of them. Our microwave oven, our tv, everything that was plugged into the wall, it just

[Bridget Anderson]

fried them and me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So that was in 1996, and yet another strange event that. That I couldn't explain. And I never told my parents about the mouse on the computer screen. I knew they would think I was crazy. And so. And at this point, I was scared. I felt like these are. These experiences are different. These are bad. I feel a darkness. I feel a lack of something coming from the source that's causing these last

[Bridget Anderson]

few episodes that I've had.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I still didn't know how to wrap my mind around what is all this?

[Bridget Anderson]

What's happening to me, and what does it all mean?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

What do they want from me? What am I supposed to do? I just could not figure out what the purpose of all this was, let alone what it even meant. So flash forward, you know, over the years, I had said that, you know, I would always feel like the back of my head felt really fuzzy. And even after the CAT scan, nothing was found physically to account for that.

[Bridget Anderson]

But I continued to wake up with

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

that, like, hangover feeling all the time. I mean, several times a week, just this strange hangover feeling where I would feel like my muscles are exhausted and I have this trauma and this anxiety, and the back of my head feels all fuzzy, and all I want to do is sleep all the time.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I. I never could figure out why that is. But I knew that something was being done to me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But there was nothing in my mind that I could point to. I couldn't remember anything. But, you know, you just know it on a gut level that someone's getting me at night and doing something to me, and it's leaving physical traces.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so I started to kind of

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

realize the symptoms of what it felt like after these events would happen. So I had a pretty good idea that it was happening on a regular basis because of these physical symptoms that I would actually have. So probably in the year 2000, almost 2001, I was out of college by this point, and I was living back in Ohio.

[Bridget Anderson]

And the electric company had sent out

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a calendar, and each month they had some scenic picture on the calendar. They sent it out to everyone.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I was flipping through that calendar

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

one day in 2000, and two of the pictures were of mountains.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I got that Strange little electric

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

feel run through me again, like there's something to this. And one of the pictures was Mount Rainier, Washington, and the other picture was from Denali national park in Alaska.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I just had this overwhelming sense that I have to go there. There's something there for me. And I didn't understand what would be

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

there for me or why I would need to go there or what mountain it even was. Was it one of these two mountains? Was it just a mountain? And what would be there for me? What. What would I need to go there to get? I didn't know, but I just had this strange pool, this feeling like there's something there for you. Not an answer, but something physically there for you that you have to go and get. So I realized at this point, all of these things have been happening to me for a reason. Obviously, I'm supposed to do something with it, and maybe this is it. Maybe this is the end. Maybe I'm going to go to this

[Bridget Anderson]

mountain, I'm going to find whatever this is, and.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And that will explain all of this or be the end of all of this or something. But I can't keep running from these

[Bridget Anderson]

dark things that have been happening to me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I can't keep living with trauma and fear all the time. So I'm done being afraid that that emotion is not serving me here. It's just making me less prepared to deal with these things. So whatever happens better or worse, at this point, I didn't even care if

[Bridget Anderson]

I died, because, quite frankly, it would

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

be better than living under the anxiety and stress and trauma that I was living under.

[Bridget Anderson]

I needed this to stop. I couldn't do this anymore.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I just said, that's it. I'm going to lean into this head first. I'm going to go find this mountain, and I'm not going to stop until I do find it, and I'm going to bring this to an end one way or another. And something inside me just told me, like, this is the big one, that this is what all of this was

[Bridget Anderson]

preparing you for, that this is what

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

you're supposed to do with all of this. But I still didn't know which mountain it was or if it was even one of these two mountains in these

[Bridget Anderson]

pictures that I had seen.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I realized I'm going to have to go to both, and I live in Ohio. So I thought, well, I'll go to Mount Rainier first in Washington State.

[Bridget Anderson]

That's obviously a lot closer than Alaska,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and I'll see what happens. I'll see if I have a feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be. And if not, then I'll know that it's Alaska that I need to go to. So my first trip, I'm trying to make it out to Mount Rainier. And I'm driving down the highway, and

[Bridget Anderson]

it was nighttime, and it was late. There wasn't a whole lot of traffic on the road.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I don't remember exactly what state I was in. I want to say it was maybe North Dakota. And so I'm cruising down this highway

[Bridget Anderson]

pretty late at night, and all of a sudden I have this strange feeling.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It's almost like a feeling like I'm being watched or I'm not alone all of a sudden, but I was alone.

[Bridget Anderson]

And then up ahead, there's an overpass

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

in front of me coming up. And I can see a bright light on the other side of the overpass. And at first I'm thinking, well, it must be a vehicle coming the opposite direction. And I can see their lights coming towards this overpass. But as I got closer to the overpass, I realized that this wasn't two headlights that I was seeing. This was one really bright light coming from the underneath of this overpass. And it was so bright that I couldn't see anything beyond it. It took up the whole underpass. And so then I started thinking, well, maybe it's a work crew. And, you know, they usually set up in the middle of the highway with. If they're going to work at night, they have those bright lights. Maybe that's what this is, just the light coming through the underpass from a work crew.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so as I get to this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

underpass, right as I'm literally entering the underpass, I realize that this isn't a work crew. I don't know what it is at that moment, but I know that it's bad.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it's too late to stop. My vehicle's already going under the underpass.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So the next thing I know, I'm driving down the highway at 65 miles an hour. It's dark again, and my radio's on, but it's, like, off station. And so it's mostly just fuzz. And it's turned up so loud. This fuzz was just deafening, the. The sound of it. And I had my dog with me. It was just me and my dog. And I turned to look at my dog, and I could tell from the look on his face and in his eyes that he, too, was stunned.

[Bridget Anderson]

Like, we just looked at each other,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

like, what was that? It was Almost like something happened, but.

[Bridget Anderson]

But we were missing that time.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It was like one moment, I'm. I'm realizing there's something wrong with this light. And I'm heading into the overpass. And then flash.

[Bridget Anderson]

Just like that. I'm driving down this highway 65 miles

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

an hour, and the radio's off station and turned all the way up. And I know that something's happened, but I can't wrap my head around it. I don't know what it is. And my head just feels all fuzzy and I'm confused. And I'm afraid to stop the car. I'm afraid to keep going. I'm afraid I might pass out because I'm starting to have trouble breathing. And I look at my dog, and when I see that, that confused, kind of shaken look on his face, I know that I'm not making this up,

[Bridget Anderson]

that he feels it too. Something happened, so it was probably like.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I did not stop, I did slow down, and I just kept driving. And I was shaking like a leaf. And I just thought the safest thing is for us to just stay moving, stay in motion. A moving target is harder to get a hold of. I just need to breathe and keep

[Bridget Anderson]

myself from passing out and just keep driving.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So we drove for hours until it was daylight out.

[Bridget Anderson]

And then we pulled over at a Walmart parking lot. And I made sure to pull into

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a busy area of the parking lot where there were security cameras. And then I crawled into the back of the SUV with my dog and we laid down to get some sleep. So it was probably the next day or two after that. I was getting close to Washington State. I may have actually even crossed over into Washington State by that point. But it was a day or two after that strange event had happened that

[Bridget Anderson]

my car suddenly broke down in this tiny little town.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And there was only one repair shop in this town. So I took the car to the repair shop and checked into a hotel. And the repair shop, after looking it over for the day, informs me that there's a part that they're going to have to order for this car because they don't have the part, and that it's going to take days for this

[Bridget Anderson]

part to be mailed to them, shipped to them.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And it's very expensive. I mean, extremely expensive. So at that point, I'm going to have to use the rest of the money that I have for this trip to fix the.

[Bridget Anderson]

This car so that I can even get back home.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I realized at that point I'm not going to make it to Mount Rainier. So we've checked into this hotel. And I kind of thought at this point it was almost a relief because I was kind of afraid of what it was I was going to find at Mount Rainier, what was going to happen to me there.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so at this point, when the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

car broke down, I had to accept, hey, that's it. We're not going to make it out there this time. And now I can just relax and recover for a few days here in this hotel while I'm waiting for them to.

[Bridget Anderson]

To fix my car.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So turns out they had even more trouble getting this part.

[Bridget Anderson]

And after three or four days, they

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

still hadn't got the part. They still couldn't tell me when the

[Bridget Anderson]

part was going to arrive.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And on, like, the. It was probably the third or fourth night in the hotel, the same thing happened that had been happening all my life.

[Bridget Anderson]

That night, I had taken a bath, soaked in a bubble bath.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

We had ordered pizza. I was well rested because we'd been doing nothing but hanging out at this

[Bridget Anderson]

hotel and walking around for days now. So I was well rested.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I felt totally 100% normal and back to my normal self. And I didn't have to think about what was going to happen at this mountain, because that was over now. I wasn't even going to make it to the mountain. So I was relaxed, I was comfortable, I felt good.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I went to bed on that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

third or fourth night at that hotel. And I woke up the next morning, and it was that same hangover feeling. I woke up feeling like I had been worked over, physically and mentally.

[Bridget Anderson]

I could feel the ache in my muscles.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I could feel the trauma, the fear.

[Bridget Anderson]

The back of my head was fuzzy

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

again, and I knew that something had happened again. But I have nothing to latch onto, no memory as to what could be causing me to feel this way. I felt fine when I went to bed last night. I supposedly got eight hours of sleep. Why am I waking up feeling like this again? So that happened every night for the next three or four nights at that hotel. And I knew, I could feel, I could sense that something had stopped me

[Bridget Anderson]

from making it to Mount Rainier, that something had caused my car to break down. And every night, something was getting a

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hold of me and doing something to me. Because each day that I woke up, I felt worse and worse, and I

[Bridget Anderson]

felt the fear and panic. And so I started hounding the repair

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

shop, like, getting nasty with them, telling them, look, this is crazy. I've been here seven, eight days now. You got to get this part and get My car fixed.

[Bridget Anderson]

I need to go home now.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So finally, a few days later, they did get the part, got my car fixed, and we did end up making it home.

[Bridget Anderson]

And there weren't too many more incidents

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

on the way home. But I still had this uneasy feeling

[Bridget Anderson]

like I was being followed, like I was being watched.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Something was very interested in me, but I didn't know what.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so we went back home.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And of course, I'm a pretty persistent person, and I was not about to give up. So I kind of chalked that up as the trial run as to what I was up against here and what it was going to take for me to make it out to Mount Rainier. So I changed some things around to make sure that it would go smoother the next time. I had gotten this binder that I had put together for almost a year. I had detailed roadmaps.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had the mileage from one point to the next. I had every one of my stops

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

planned out to be stopped in a big area with a Walmart or a large store or parking lot that was open 24 hours, that there would be people coming and going, that we could sleep in the back of the car in a public setting.

[Bridget Anderson]

I also changed up the night and day thing. Instead of driving all day and then

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

trying to sleep at night, I switched that because I realized that these things are happening at night while I'm sleeping. They're getting a hold of me while I'm sleeping. So I changed that and I said, okay, we'll drive all night, because at least I'll be awake and I'll have

[Bridget Anderson]

some chance of fighting this off. And then during the day, we'll go to one of these public places and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hopefully with a security camera and lots of traffic, people traffic going in and out of the parking lot.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it seemed to work. It definitely seemed to work. I felt like there were no strange

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

events happening, that I wasn't feeling that hungover feeling, like something had gotten a hold of me. So I made it all the way out to Mount Rainier on that second

[Bridget Anderson]

time with almost nothing happening.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And my dog and I were hiking around the base of the mountain. And it was beautiful. It looked just like the picture in the calendar that I had tore out and kept with me. But I knew as soon as I got there that this was not the mountain that I was being called to.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so we spent a few days

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hiking around the mountain and taking it easy. And I knew at that point, I'm going to have to go to Alaska. And that's a much bigger ordeal than Mount Rainier in Washington State. So I'm going to need to go home and prepare for a much bigger, much bigger trip.

[Bridget Anderson]

Much more in depth.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So we're on our way back from this second trip and we were a few states away from Ohio and my grandma. Before I had left on that trip, my grandma was getting older and she was having some health problems and she had ended up having to have a bypass surgery on her heart. She struggled during the recovery and I knew that my grandma wasn't going to be around very much longer.

[Bridget Anderson]

I was closer to my grandma than any person on the face of this earth.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

She and I were just as tight as you could be. So we had always had this running joke.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had always told her.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I had made her promise me that she would die when I was out of town because I couldn't handle it. I couldn't be the one to watch it. I couldn't see that happen, that I would never recover from it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it was always a joke with

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

us, like, now remember, you're not going to kick the bucket until. Until I'm out of town on vacation or something. And she would always laugh and say, yep, yep, I promise, I promise.

[Bridget Anderson]

So on the way back from the second trip that we had made it

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to Mount Rainier, we had had a beautiful day. We stopped and spent the whole day hiking. And I was going to be driving in the overnight hours because I just

[Bridget Anderson]

felt safer that way.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so we're driving. It's nighttime after a beautiful day of hiking. I was physically tired because we had hiked longer than I thought we were going to. We kind of got lost and got off trail, and it was a much longer hike and much more physically exerting than I thought it was going to be. So as we take off driving that night, I realized, like, I'm not going to be able to drive all night. I'm physically exhausted from our hike, and I need to get at least a

[Bridget Anderson]

few hours of sleep.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I decided to pull off. It was a rest area, and I didn't pull all the way down to the rest area. I sort of pulled off the side of the exit ramp, just pulled under a light, and there was lots of traffic. Not lots, but there was traffic occasionally getting off of the exit ramp to go into the rest area.

[Bridget Anderson]

And for some reason, I just felt safer on the exit ramp because at the rest area, you've heard stories about

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

people getting robbed or kidnapped, and I thought, okay, well, at least up here on the exit ramp, there's not going to be people outside of their cars around and walking around by our vehicle,

[Bridget Anderson]

but there's still going to be a

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

steady flow of traffic and people driving by, and we're underneath this light. So this was the safest area that I felt was the safest spot for me to crawl into the back and sleep for just a couple hours until I felt replenished enough to get behind the wheel again. So we pulled off at this rest

[Bridget Anderson]

area, and we're underneath this light.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I was asleep, and my dog was asleep in the back of the suv. And something awoke me out of a deep sleep.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't know what it was.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I just Sat straight up in the back of the suv.

[Bridget Anderson]

And when I sat up, I could see this gold ball of light coming towards my car.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I felt.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't feel that evil or that darkness that I had been feeling with

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

the events that had been happening to me. This light was radiating with warmth and love. And it just made me feel so good all over my body. It's hard to explain what it did. It made me all tingly and made me feel so loved and a part of something whole. And so this light comes through the back window of my SUV and it

[Bridget Anderson]

starts to enter into my chest.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And as the light is entering into my chest, there's some recognition there. I recognize this. And after all the light had entered into my body, it hit me.

[Bridget Anderson]

This is my grandma's soul. And then that quickly in my head,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I hear my grandma's voice say, no matter what happens, it's okay. And the light starts drifting out of my back. And as that light is drifting out of my back, I am left with this feeling of just such a loss

[Bridget Anderson]

and such a sadness and this feeling

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

like I'm being left all alone here. Now you're leaving me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I just. I was sobbing so hard, I wasn't even breathing. And I grabbed my dog and I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

was just rocking and crying. And I realized that my grandma had taken.

[Bridget Anderson]

Just died. That was my grandma's soul.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I turned and looked at the clock in the 22am I don't remember going back to sleep, but apparently I did because the next memory I have is my cell phone ringing at 7:30 in the morning.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it was my dad.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And he didn't want to tell me that my grandma had died because he was worried how I would make it all those miles that I still had to drive home knowing that my grandma had passed. Everyone knew how close I was to her. Everyone had been worried for years how I would handle this when she finally passed.

[Bridget Anderson]

So my phone rings at 7:30 in the morning. And my dad is trying to keep a normal voice, a normal tone of voice.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And he says to me, yeah, I need you to come on back home now, right now, and we'll talk when you get here.

[Bridget Anderson]

He didn't want to tell me that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

my grandma had died.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I said to him, dad, I already know.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Grandma died Last night at 1:22am her

[Bridget Anderson]

spirit came and said goodbye to me. And I could feel the shock and disbelief. I could feel it through the phone. He was just stunned.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And he said, well, the death certificate actually says 126, but yeah, that.

[Bridget Anderson]

That's pretty strange. And at the time, I knew that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

my time of 122 was the correct time.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I knew that the reason the Death certificate said 126was because after the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

soul leaves the body, the bioelectric activity slowly shuts down, and. And there is still some of that activity registering until it's completely gone and

[Bridget Anderson]

you're medically declared dead. No activity. So I knew that her soul had

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

departed this existence at 122.

[Bridget Anderson]

But this was not a time to say I told you so or prove that I was right. Because in addition to feeling that shock

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and disbelief from him, I also felt some jealousy from him that his mother had chosen to do that with me

[Bridget Anderson]

and not him, her son.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I could feel his hurt also.

[Bridget Anderson]

This was his mom that he had just lost.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I didn't say anything about that. I just said, oh, yeah, you know,

[Bridget Anderson]

a couple minutes difference.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

That is pretty strange. And so I continued back and made it back, and they actually postponed my grandmother's funeral until I made it back from this trip. And they had asked me to speak at her funeral because they knew that I was the closest person in the world to her. But I couldn't.

[Bridget Anderson]

I could barely breathe. I just.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

There was no way I would be able to stand up there on my

[Bridget Anderson]

feet and speak coherently without just completely losing it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I told him, no, I can't do it. I don't even know if I'm going to make it through this funeral, but I definitely can't speak at it. So I'm sitting in my grandma's funeral,

[Bridget Anderson]

and I had dreaded that moment the whole trip back.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

That's all I kept thinking was, I can still put this out of my mind.

[Bridget Anderson]

I know it happened, but I'm not forced to accept it just yet. But that funeral was that moment that I was forced to accept it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

That I had to accept that that

[Bridget Anderson]

door was shut, that I would not see her again.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And it was choking me to death, having to swallow it and accept it and sit there at her funeral. And I didn't want to go up to her casket, but I knew that I would regret it if I didn't.

[Bridget Anderson]

So I forced myself to go up to the casket.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And when I walked up to the casket, I almost didn't recognize her. It didn't even look like her. Like there was.

[Bridget Anderson]

Was definitely something missing.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I realized that her soul, or that light that animates the body, that.

[Bridget Anderson]

That makes us who we are, is

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

what was missing and what was laying there. Was just a shell of a body that looked and felt nothing like my grandma when she was alive.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was her soul that was missing.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so. So I sit back down at the funeral and they're reading the little sayings and different people are getting up there talking. And all of a sudden those tell tale signs start happening. The back of my head starts feeling

[Bridget Anderson]

fuzzy, the room starts spinning, I'm having

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a hard time breathing.

[Bridget Anderson]

And all of a sudden I have this flashback.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And in this flashback, I am four or five years old. And it was one of the most

[Bridget Anderson]

cherished activities that I would do with my grandmother.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

She would sit on her couch with a pillow on her lap and I would lay my head on the pillow and she would either with a brush, but usually with her hands, run her

[Bridget Anderson]

fingers through my hair.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My flashback is one of those times that she was doing that. And I look to be somewhere between

[Bridget Anderson]

four, five, maybe six years old tops.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I was young. And I'm laying on the couch and my grandmother is running her fingers through my hair. And as she's touching my head before she pulls her her fingers down through my long hair, I'm feeling this tingling feeling in my head. It feels like she's transferring my.

[Bridget Anderson]

This energy from her fingertips to my head.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And it gives me goosebumps, it gives me tingles all over and it feels really good. And it puts me to sleep. Every time she does it, it puts me to sleep. And when I wake up, she's still running her fingers through my hair.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I wake up feeling just so

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

snug and comfortable and just overwhelmed with love. And so in this flashback, I'm seeing myself laying on the couch with her and she's running her. Her fingers through my. And just as I'm about to fall asleep, she thinks I am asleep, but I actually wasn't quite asleep yet. It was like in that moment before you. You drift into unconsciousness. She says out loud, I wonder where you are right now, baby girl.

[Bridget Anderson]

You know, we can leave our bodies

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

when we sleep and go on the most magical journey. And upon hearing this, I sit straight up and I turn and look to her and I have the biggest, scaredest eyes. And I'm shaking my head no. And I'm trying to tell her telepathically or with my eyes.

[Bridget Anderson]

I'm not allowed to do that. I'm not allowed to do that. I can't do that.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And she sees how scared I am and how shaken I am. And at first she looked very confused. And then it's like she snaps out of it. And she tells me, hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it. Just lay back down and go to sleep.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I lay down on the pillow,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

but I'm actually shaking, and I'm really tense and rigid, and there's no way I can get comfortable at this point. And she starts running her fingers through my hair again. But it's different. There's no energy transfer. I don't feel good about it. I just feel the. The touch of her putting her fingers through my hair. And all of a sudden, it's like I had been pulled into a vacuum.

[Bridget Anderson]

Like time and space had just ceased to exist. And I was somewhere else. Seeing this flashback of me and my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

grandma when I was 4 or 5, maybe 6 years old. And all of a sudden, that quickly, it's like the vacuum is sucked out of me. And I'm sitting back in my grandma's funeral. And at this point, I'm actually hyperventilating. I'm overwhelmed by what I've just been shown and realizing that I've left my body before and that my grandma is aware of this and that, coupled with the fact that she's no longer with us and that I won't see her anymore, it all just came crashing down on top of me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I felt like I was gonna pass out.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I jumped up in the middle of my grandma's funeral, and I said, I gotta get out of here.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I just turned and ran out

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

the back door, and I threw myself into the driver's seat of my car. And I was shaking so bad, and my legs had lost all of their strength. They felt like jello. I didn't even feel strong enough to turn on the car and drive.

[Bridget Anderson]

So I just sat there in the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

parking lot, really weak and shaking. And after a while, some people came out to check on me, and they asked me to come back in. And I told him, I can't.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't want to.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I'm not coming back in there.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I didn't. I didn't go back in there. I did eventually calm down, and I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

followed the funeral procession to the graveyard and was there for her burial. And it was really tough to have to accept that. That she is gone. And that door is now closed for me. So that happened on the second. Second trip, my second road trip where I had actually made it to Mount Rainier. And it was on the way back

[Bridget Anderson]

that my grandma had died and all of that happened.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So after my grandma died, it actually made me angry.

[Bridget Anderson]

I was mad at God.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I was mad at whatever power it was that was doing all of this

[Bridget Anderson]

to me and why they had taken her from me. This was the person that I was

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

closest to in the world. And all this crazy, messed up stuff

[Bridget Anderson]

is happening to me. And they chose that time to take her from me. And I knew it was selfish to feel that way, but I did.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I was angry, very angry.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I had this. This message, this feeling, this like.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I don't want to say telepathic, because I didn't actually hear a voice, but it was like suddenly maybe you would liken it to like a download. I suddenly had this feeling or this knowledge inside me that said, you have to walk this dark part of the path alone.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I didn't understand that. Dark part of the path?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

What does that mean? What path?

[Bridget Anderson]

What is all of this? Why is this happening? What do they want me to do? But, you know, I wasn't given any further explanation.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It was just that message. You have to walk this dark part of the path alone.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I connected that with the fact that.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

That my grandma was gone. And now I was alone and on my own.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so all of my fear of

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

knowing, okay, you know, I was right that these last episodes have this dark

[Bridget Anderson]

tone, this evil tone.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They're different than the things that have been happening to me all my life.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I've always known that there is

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

good and bad, light and dark, good and evil, whatever you want to call it, Yin and yang. I've always known that my whole life. And I've always kind of had this sense when I would meet people, I would like I say, I could read energy signatures.

[Bridget Anderson]

I would know if they were of the light team or the dark team.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I could sense evil, and it helped me. It kept me safe. I knew certain people to avoid. And throughout my whole life, I'd had that ability of distinguishing the dark from the light. And so now I'm scared to death because I have flat out been told that, yeah, I'm on a dark path

[Bridget Anderson]

here and my grandma's gone.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so I felt like I was being punished. I've done something wrong. Why would I be having to walk a dark path? I've always been protected by the light. And I've always felt that loving sense of belonging and protection from them. And suddenly they're gone. I don't feel that light or that

[Bridget Anderson]

protection or that love. I just feel scared.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Scared to death of what's coming my way. And I know it's dark and it's not something I want to be a part of. I don't want to experience this.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't want to walk the dark path. But of course, you have no choice.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Every day I kept waking up and I'm still here. And so I knew that it was

[Bridget Anderson]

pointless to try and avoid it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

There was no way to make a it stop.

[Bridget Anderson]

Whatever this was, it was obviously destined

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to happen to me and was going to happen to me. So the best thing that I could do was tuck away that fear because that doesn't serve me, it doesn't help me.

[Bridget Anderson]

That just handicaps me to deal with this stuff and just do the best I can with it. And when it's over, it's over.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I let all that anger and all that fear just turn into determination for me. And I was like, that's it.

[Bridget Anderson]

I am going to go at this with a vengeance.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so I started planning my trip to Alaska. Once my grandma had died, I went and bought a brand new car. Well, I had come into some money. Obviously she left me everything in the world that she had. She and I were as close as two people could be. And it caused a little bit of problems with other family members, but yet they expected it wholeheartedly. And sure enough, she left everything to me. So I used that money to prepare myself for this final trip, this final showdown to Alaska. I bought a brand new car so there wouldn't be any trouble with car problems or anything like that.

[Bridget Anderson]

I researched the trip and I had bought extra tires and fixed the flat

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and I created an extensive first aid kit. I mean, this thing rivaled the best

[Bridget Anderson]

of them because I knew how desolate

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

it was in Alaska. I knew I was going to be

[Bridget Anderson]

out there in the mountainous areas on

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

my own with my dog, trying to climb some mountain to look for something that's apparently there for me. And I knew that nobody would be there to help me. So I had to make sure that I was prepared and that I could help myself. This wasn't the kind of trip that you just on a whim, take off driving. So I had spent probably close to a year preparing for this trip.

[Bridget Anderson]

And in my first aid kit I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

had some very powerful painkillers. And I had like a needle and thread to give myself stitches if I needed to.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had patches that would like seal

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

up open gaping wounds to stop the blood loss. And I just, I was thinking of

[Bridget Anderson]

every possible worst case scenario and what

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I could possibly face out there. I went and got a shotgun and my uncle, who was very into shooting,

[Bridget Anderson]

trained me on the gun for almost a year. And I could take apart and put together that gun like it was nothing.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I'll never forget something that my uncle said to me. I had gotten the shotgun and learned how to use it in case I

[Bridget Anderson]

came across a bear or a mountain lion or something.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

When I was in the wilderness looking for this mountain, that's what I assumed

[Bridget Anderson]

that I might need that gun for.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So after training with my uncle on one of our last training sessions, I'll never forget what he said to me. He said, don't ever point this gun

[Bridget Anderson]

at anything you don't want to kill. But if you have to point this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

gun, you better be ready and able

[Bridget Anderson]

to pull that trigger.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And that saying just always sat in the back of my head. I don't know why, but it was always there. It was in my head when I was on this trip, like, okay, that gun is a last resort. But if I have to reach for that gun, don't hesitate, don't even think about it. Pull the trigger. So I had my gun, I had my first aid kit, I had any and all fluids and extra tires and things that I could need for the car.

[Bridget Anderson]

And my dog and I were gonna set out on this journey for the third time now.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Trying to make it to this mountain that I've been called, called to. And something inside of me just knew.

[Bridget Anderson]

I. I just felt that this was

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a one way trip, that I would not be coming back.

[Bridget Anderson]

And even though I knew that it

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

was going to be my end, I also knew that it was my salvation

[Bridget Anderson]

and that I had to do it. That I couldn't let my attachment to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

this reality stop me from succeeding or, or winning in what I knew was even more real than this reality, which was all of these things that were happening to me and the messages that I were being given and how they were lining up with and interacting with my physical reality. That, that's what convinced me that no, I'm not crazy because these things are actually lining up with and interacting with my physical reality. So there it is, real. These things are really happening. And, and they have helped me and guided me early on and, and now all of a sudden I'm faced with all these dark things and, and I know I'm. I'm in a whole different territory here. Like, like this is a different set of circumstances, the dark path as it was told to me. And I knew that I was being called out to this mountain. And something inside me just knew that

[Bridget Anderson]

this was a one way trip.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So as I prepared myself and I was actually kind of relieved, I needed this to be over. I couldn't function like this much longer. It just was taking such a toll on me. And I was so scared all the time and paranoid, and I didn't trust anybody. And just the anxiety and trauma all the time, and just feeling exhausted all the time. I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need this to end. I want it to end. So I'm going to go on this final trip to Alaska. Whatever this is I'm supposed to face, I'm going to face it, and then it's going to be over, and that's okay with me. So as I got closer to time to leave for this trip, I started

[Bridget Anderson]

struggling a little bit with my attachment

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to my life and my family and all the things that I knew I was not going to see anymore.

[Bridget Anderson]

And the day that I was leaving, I wouldn't make eye contact with anyone.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I gave them a hug goodbye, and I was saying, oh, yeah, I'll be back in a couple of months. You know, we're just gonna go out there. And I never told anybody why it was that I felt I needed to go to Alaska. I kind of made up this little lie.

[Bridget Anderson]

My dog was a husky, and so

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I made up this little lie for my family and told them, oh, I promised my dog that I would take him back to his area of heritage. And I've always wanted to go to Alaska. And so him and I are going to do this, and we'll be okay. Don't worry about it, you know? And so on the day that I'm getting ready to leave, I couldn't look anybody in the eye because I felt like if I did that I would just break down crying and that I would spill everything, everything that's been happening to me and why I was going to Alaska, and that this was a permanent goodbye, that I would not be coming back. And I couldn't do that because I knew they would stop me from going.

[Bridget Anderson]

So I wouldn't make eye contact with anyone. I just.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I hugged them, and when they were talking to me, I would look off and look away, and I was kind of nervous and shuffling and. And I would just tell them, oh, yeah, don't worry about it. I'll call you every so often, let you know I'm okay. And we've got everything we need. I got plenty of money, you know, just don't worry about me. I'll be back in a few months and everything will be fine. But of course they were worried about me. My parents were terrified that their daughter, who they know has had strange Things going on. And they were witness to some strange things. Like my mom when I was telling her about the woman in the casket

[Bridget Anderson]

that I kept seeing, they had witnessed some little things.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They knew that there were strange things about me and it kind of scared them. And then during this period of time they could see that mentally I was really struggling, I was coming undone, that

[Bridget Anderson]

things were getting worse for me. I was having a hard time maintaining my normal 3D life with the amount

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

of this high strangeness stuff that was happening and as much as was happening on such a regular basis, it was just getting to be too much for me. So I say my goodbyes and my dog and I head out for what we know is going to be a one way trip. So on the third trip as I'm

[Bridget Anderson]

getting out closer to like the Washington

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

state area where I would then have

[Bridget Anderson]

to go north up through Canada to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

get to Alaska, As I get closer to the West Coast, I start feeling

[Bridget Anderson]

that same feeling of I'm not alone, something's watching me. They know that I'm making another shot

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

at getting to this mountain and they're going to try and stop me again. They stopped me the first two times

[Bridget Anderson]

from getting there to Alaska anyway.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I just know that I'm being watched and not just by one faction, I'm being watched by multiple factions and that something is going to try to prevent me from getting there.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so now I'm even more anxious

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and worried and what's coming my way and what am I going to have to fend off and deal with and am I going to make it there or am I not?

[Bridget Anderson]

My dog and I suddenly were struck with this illness.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I mean we were sick. Like something was attacking us. And energy, I could feel it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it was making us so sick.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

We couldn't eat or drink anything. We couldn't even drink a little water that we were just vomiting. And I felt like I had had a nervous breakdown, but I didn't know over what. I had nothing there to pin it to. But we were clearly a mess.

[Bridget Anderson]

I mean, something was attacking us. We were very sick.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My nerves were just shot.

[Bridget Anderson]

But I was determined.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Like no, I'm going to push through. Nothing's going to stop me. I am going to get there no matter what. And so we cross over into the Yukon Territory and things got really desolate really fast. I mean you would go for days without seeing another car or another human being.

[Bridget Anderson]

You had to stop at every gas station that you came across because the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

gas stations were placed just close enough

[Bridget Anderson]

to get you to the next gas station.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So you had no choice but to

[Bridget Anderson]

stop at every gas station and fill up.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So we kept feeling like we were being attacked and and my dog was extremely sick. I mean he hadn't ate or drank or go gone to the bathroom in probably close to a week.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I was almost just as bad,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

not quite as bad, but I was in really bad shape too.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I knew that something was trying

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to stop us from making it to Alaska, but that just increased my determination anymore even more. And I thought, well, obviously I'm on the right track and I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. If something is going to this much trouble to stop me, so screw them. I am going to push through and I am going to make it there.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And we did make it there. Unfortunately, while I was in Anchorage, some

[Bridget Anderson]

really, really bad things happened.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It started with I had wanted to

[Bridget Anderson]

go to a souvenir store and purchase some like sweatshirts and different things just on the off chance that we did

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

make it back there or to, to kind of make the trip look normal because I would have all these mementos that I was bringing back for my family and the receipts from these stores and stuff. So for whatever reason, I decided to stop and get these, these little souvenir type things at this store.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I left my dog in my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

car and I had the windows cracked just a couple of inches, the front and the back SUV windows.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I went into the store and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

while I was in the store and I really wasn't even paying attention to like what I was grabbing. I didn't care what size sweatshirts were, I didn't care if they were the coolest one or the one that I liked best.

[Bridget Anderson]

I was just trying to grab some souvenir stuff to make this look like

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a legit tourist trip to Alaska so that I could throw those in the car before I headed off into the mountains to find whatever this was that awaits me there.

[Bridget Anderson]

And as I'm grabbing all of these

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

things, I get this overwhelming feeling that I have to get out of there right now. I have to get out of here right now. And I just stopped in my tracks. I took whatever items I had in my hand. I went to the register, threw some cash at them, told them, keep the change.

[Bridget Anderson]

I ran out the door.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And as I run out the door, there are two men trying to break into my car. And one was at the back window that had been rolled down a couple of inches, and one was at the front window, both on the passenger side of the car. And as one would try to stick his hand in the back window that was rolled down for my dog to get some air, my dog would lunge at him. And when my dog lunged at the one in the back, the one in the front would try to put his hand down in the window. And so my dog was just lunging

[Bridget Anderson]

back and forth, back and forth so quickly. And I could tell that he couldn't

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hold out any longer. They were going to get over on him and get to the lock or the window or something. And I came out of the store

[Bridget Anderson]

just in time before that happened.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I hit the alarm button on

[Bridget Anderson]

my car and I started screaming, hey,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

the hell are you doing? And I just dropped everything, all my bags, and just started running headfirst towards them. Because my dog was all I had left in this world after my grandma died. And I would have killed him if I would have got my hands on him. So I had no fear at that point. I charged him head on. And as I was running toward him, they stopped in this strange, weird way and turned and looked at me. And when they blinked, I saw something in their eyes. This is really hard to put into words or explain it, except to say that it wasn't them. It wasn't that person. It was like something had taken over that person in that moment that they were trying to break into my car. And when I hit the alarm and started screaming, they stopped and slowly turned and looked at me. And I saw when they blinked and opened their eyes that they were back to the normal person that they were.

[Bridget Anderson]

And they sort of looked around and just bolted.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They just took off running. And so I was pretty shaken at that point, because I thought, what if

[Bridget Anderson]

they would have gotten a hold of my dog?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

What if they would have gotten him out of the car? I mean, I could have cared less about the money or the gun or any of my stuff. All I cared about was, was what if they hurt my dog?

[Bridget Anderson]

Because my dog would have tried to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

attack them had they gotten the window or the door open.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I'm sure they. They would have hurt him or killed him. And so at this point, I'm just

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

freaking out, and my dog's still really sick.

[Bridget Anderson]

And he had just done this trying

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to fend these two men off. And. And I could see like, he was on his last leg.

[Bridget Anderson]

Whatever all this was, was killing my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

dog, and it wasn't doing real well with me either. And.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so a lot of other bad things had happened.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

We went back to the hotel that night, and as I was in the hotel, suddenly the hair on the back

[Bridget Anderson]

of my dog just stood straight up and he was, like, baring his teeth and saliva was dripping from his mouth,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and he was looking at the window. And all of a sudden, I had the curtains closed so I couldn't see the window. But I all of a sudden saw a hand and an arm come down from the window.

[Bridget Anderson]

Somebody had opened the window and was trying to put their hand into.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I guess we had, like, this bar. There were these bars that came down and kept the window from opening all the way. It would only open part of the way for safety reasons.

[Bridget Anderson]

The hotel had them.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And this arm was reaching over, trying to lift up that bar so that it could push the window the rest of the way open. And my dog was barking and growling like crazy. And I was so mad at that point and just so sick and tired of fending off all this darkness and all these bad things that were happening. And I just started screaming and cussing, and I was like, come on in here, motherfucker. I want you to meet my friend Susie's shotgun. And I grabbed my gun and I loaded it. And by the time I ripped open the curtains, they were gone.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so my dog and I just

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

sat there, like, shaking like a leaf. I mean, we were on our last leg. We had been so sick.

[Bridget Anderson]

We hadn't ate or drank in over a week.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And we were just vomiting like dry heaving. Even with nothing in our body, we still just kept dry heaving. And then all these attacks, and there was instances of missing time, and I knew that bad things had happened there that I had repressed, that I couldn't.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't want to Know I couldn't

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

let myself remember I'm still alive, and that's all that matters. I can keep going. I can't turn and look back at those things or I will die. I will come undone. So all of this bad stuff had happened, and I realized, okay, whatever's happened here, I have to get out of here. My dog and I are dying, and I'm just.

[Bridget Anderson]

I'm done.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I'm gonna turn around and just hightail at home and try to get out of here. So we get in the car. Well, we sat there shaking like a leaf until daylight came. And after the daylight came, I packed us up.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I still had my gun loaded. The safety was off. And as we came out of that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hotel room, I had my gun pointed. If anybody was outside my hotel room, if anybody was next to my car, I was going to shoot and kill them.

[Bridget Anderson]

That's how fed up I was.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I was going to get in the car, and I was going to go home. And anybody who tried to stop me, that was the last thing they would do in this reality. So we get in the car and we're headed home. At some point, we're still in Alaska.

[Bridget Anderson]

My dog began to drink a little

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

bit of water, and I thought that was encouraging. It was strange because the closer we had gotten to Alaska on the way out there, the worse this attack or this sickness was.

[Bridget Anderson]

But now that I had chosen to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

leave, it was like the longer we were on the road and the further we were getting away from that mountain in Alaska that I had been trying to get to, I could feel some of that lifting. Like we were starting to feel a little bit better.

[Bridget Anderson]

And my dog started drinking. At one point, he had acted like he needed to go to the bathroom,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

which was a good sign because he hadn't gone to the bathroom. And I don't know, seven to 10 days, something like that. And. And I knew he was going to die soon. Like, he couldn't keep this up very much longer.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And that was also one of the reasons I chose to just turn and go home. I had this guilt that, you know, I'm literally pushing this dog to his death, and this is killing me. And I just. I'm done. I can't do this anymore. I'm.

[Bridget Anderson]

I'm going to try and make it home.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so at one point, while still in Alaska, the dog had acted like

[Bridget Anderson]

he needed to go to the bathroom.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

He was whining like he needed to stop, and I needed to stretch my legs. Anyway, we had been in the car for days. And so I pulled off on the. On the side of the highway there. And the Alaskan highway is based, at the time was basically just a gravel road. And.

[Bridget Anderson]

And there was hardly any traffic on it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So we pull off on the side of the road, and I told myself,

[Bridget Anderson]

we're not going to go into the woods.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

We are going to stay where I can see the car in my vision. And I've got my gun on my shoulder, loaded and ready to go. And so I've got my car keys in one hand, I've got my dog on his leash in my other hand, and I've got the gun flung around my shoulder.

[Bridget Anderson]

And we're just planning on walking back and forth right there next to our

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

car and let the dog go to the bathroom. And, you know, dogs like to go to the edges of the woods and kind of sniff around or whatever.

[Bridget Anderson]

So they had like, I don't know, maybe 5, 10ft on each side of the road cleared and cut and. And then the wilderness started at that point. So I. I had walked up to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

the edge of the woods and letting my dog walk along, looking for a good place to go to the bathroom and sniff around.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I. I don't know what happened. The next thing I know, we are

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

deep in the woods. I have no memory of walking into the woods. I had specifically told myself not to get out of sight of our car, that this was a quick go to the bathroom. And all of a sudden, it's like I was missing time. And all of a sudden, we're deep in these woods, and I'm thinking, what just happened? How did we get here? How far in are we? Did we walk in a straight line? I mean, hopefully. Or else are we going to get lost out here? Are we even going to make it back to the car? And all of a sudden, my dog did the same thing that he had done in the hotel room. He stopped in his tracks, all of the hair on his back stood up,

[Bridget Anderson]

he bared his teeth, and saliva was just dripping.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

He was staring at this big tree that was probably, I don't know, 15, 20ft away from us, maybe 30ft away from us.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I thought, okay, there's a bear or a bobcat. Something around that tree is about to come out.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so I threw my dog's leash on the ground and I stepped on it with my foot. And then I had free hands to get my gun.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I got my gun and I took the safety off, and I was

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

just pointing it at that tree, and I was scanning my surroundings I was looking for any kind of movement, anything. And I'm still expecting that this is a bear or a bobcat or some wild animal that's about to come out from behind the trees. And all of a sudden, this scraggly looking wild man steps out from behind the tree, and he has this evil

[Bridget Anderson]

smile on his face. And as I look into his eyes, I can almost see flames dancing in his eyes.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I don't even know how to explain that, except I knew that I was

[Bridget Anderson]

dealing with a more concentrated form of evil, of darkness that I had ever experienced. This was a million times more concentrated

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

than this darkness that had been pursuing me, me recently.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I knew that it was excited, that it had lured me right where it wanted me. And so I. I had my gun

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

pointed at him, and I said to him, buddy, I don't want any trouble here, but you take one more step in my direction, and that's exactly what we're gonna have. And it was like he thought it over for just a second, still with that shitty grin on his face. And then he lunged at me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I didn't hesitate for a second. I pulled the trigger.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, but I had become a really good shot.

[Bridget Anderson]

Practicing with my uncle for almost a year.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I mean, I had hit bullseyes from much further away than what I was from this man.

[Bridget Anderson]

So I am absolutely positive that I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

was correctly aimed at his chest. And I was using big game cartridges. These were the most powerful shells that you could get for a shotgun. And they would spread out when. When you shot the. The pellets would spread out and it would cover a huge area. So when I pulled that trigger, there was absolutely no way that I didn't hit him.

[Bridget Anderson]

At least some of those pellets would have hit him. I'm 100% positive of it. But yet the pellets seemed to go right through him. He wasn't even phased. He was still coming towards me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And at that point, I realized, either this isn't human, or this thing is more than human and this is evil that's coming for me. And I just flung my gun around my neck, scooped up my dog's leash in one motion, and we turned and just took off running. And I mean, usually this husky could, I mean, drag me, outrun me by 10 times, but not this time.

[Bridget Anderson]

I mean, I was keeping my own with him.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

We were running so fast through those

[Bridget Anderson]

woods that I almost felt like my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

feet weren't touching the ground. And we flew out of Those woods. We come out of the wilderness, back

[Bridget Anderson]

up onto the street, and we're.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I mean, probably like a quarter mile down the road from my car, but I can see my car down the street. And so we turn and we're running to the car. And my keys were in my pocket at that point. And I was thinking to myself, the car's locked. I have to get my keys out of my pocket and get the car unlocked so that we can just dive into the car in one motion. I can't stop and fumble around. And I could feel this being right behind me.

[Bridget Anderson]

He was gaining ground on me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

He was catching up to me. And I went to turn to look and see how close he was to me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And this voice in my head, a

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

female voice, a telepathic message, said, no,

[Bridget Anderson]

don't turn and look or you lose.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Put everything you've got into getting out of this situation.

[Bridget Anderson]

You can see how you did when it's over.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I didn't know what to make of it. All I knew was I didn't feel the darkness from this voice. I felt like it was a line being thrown to me from the light, from the good. And I listened to it. I didn't turn and look to see how close he was. I never slowed my pace. I just kept going. And I was. As I was running, I was trying to fumble for my keys. And I finally did get them out of my pocket, like, feet before we got to the car, unlocked the car, we dove into the car. I started it up and just peeled out of there. I mean, I was shaking so bad. I hadn't even taken the gun off of my shoulder. And so it was behind my back, and I couldn't, like, lean back in the chair. And I was shaking so bad, I was almost, like, going numb. And I thought I was going to pass out, but there was no way I could stop.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had to just keep going and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

get as far away as I could. So it was probably about two or

[Bridget Anderson]

three hours before I could even bring

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

myself to slow down enough to take

[Bridget Anderson]

the gun off of my shoulder.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I didn't stop, but I slowed down enough that I could let go of the steering wheel and get the gun off my shoulder and kind of, like, catch my breath. And I'm still shaking, and. And I'm thinking, you know, I thought I was maybe going to have a chance of getting out of here and getting back home because I just don't want to do this anymore. And then I started realizing I'm probably still not going to make it back Home. And this probably isn't the last of

[Bridget Anderson]

this darkness that I'm going to encounter.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So another couple of days went by. We crossed over into the yukon territory, and we were on our way down through canada, Back to the lower 48 at the the state. And I was probably going about 35, 40 miles an hour. It had been a couple of days Since I'd seen another car.

[Bridget Anderson]

And we come up over this hill,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and as I come over the hill down, I can see down below at the bottom of the hill, A bigfoot, A sasquatch, Is walking from the side of the road up onto the road.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I know I have this sinking

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

feeling in my chest. This is not a chance encounter. This is not an accident. This thing is here for me, and I know that it's going to stop me.

[Bridget Anderson]

From making it out of these woods,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and that's why it's here.

[Bridget Anderson]

I also knew and could see that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

this being had planned it perfectly, that at the exact moment that my car would be right where it was, it would be standing in the middle of the road, not in my lane, in front of my car, but, like, on the center line. If there had been a center line. There wasn't. It was just a gravel highway. But if there had been a center line, this thing had timed it to where it was walking Just casually, slowly, like it didn't have a care in the world. But it had timed it so that it would be standing in the center of the road Right at the moment

[Bridget Anderson]

that my car intersected it. I wasn't about to stop or slow down.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I also knew that this thing, I mean, this thing was massive. It was, like, 8 to 10 foot tall. It was so big and muscular, and I could see the muscles rippling under the skin. This was no man in a monkey suit. And I knew that all this thing would have to do. Would be to take its arm and hit my car, and it would just send my car rolling, you know, probably hundreds of feet or something.

[Bridget Anderson]

I was no physical match for this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

thing, so I had no choice. I couldn't stop the car. I wasn't going to stop and turn around and head back to that darkness I had just fled from. So. So I just thought, just keep going. That's all I can do Is just

[Bridget Anderson]

keep going and see what happens. And so I'm bracing myself for this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

thing to attack my car, and I'm worried that my dog is going to lunge across me to the driver's side window. Where this thing is about to be

[Bridget Anderson]

standing Right next to My driver's side window.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I look over, and my dog is just in this trance. Like there's something very off, like he wasn't moving. He was just in this trance. I've never seen my dog like this before. He was just looking straight forward. I almost didn't even see him breathing. He was just in a trance.

[Bridget Anderson]

And at the very moment that this

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

being is standing, like, six inches from my driver's side window, which was rolled up because I was scared to death,

[Bridget Anderson]

Something pushed the pause button.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I know that sounds crazy, and I tried to talk myself out of it so many times like that, that can't be real. That didn't happen. Your mind imagined that. But. But it did happen.

[Bridget Anderson]

Everything stopped. Like someone had just pushed the pause button.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My car stopped in midair. None of the leaves were rustling in the wind.

[Bridget Anderson]

Time had stopped.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I could feel that time had stopped.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I was just hanging in limbo,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Almost like the world had just turned into this painting, this still painting. And I'm sitting there in my car, and this Bigfoot is 6 inches from my driver's side window.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I turned to look at it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And as I made eye contact with it, I received this telepathic message.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was such an intense, overwhelming, complex

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

message that words really aren't going to do it justice. I really can't even describe it in words, except to say that this being was telling me that it was a programmed being who was sent here to

[Bridget Anderson]

stop us from making it out of

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

these woods alive, but that it was hurting in here just like I was,

[Bridget Anderson]

and that it had decided that it

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

was not going to follow its objective, that not only was it not going to kill us, it was going to help me. It told me that its boss would be coming for me and that I shouldn't stop and I shouldn't sleep, that I should just go all the way,

[Bridget Anderson]

and that it was going to help

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

me and sacrifice itself in the hopes

[Bridget Anderson]

that I could help us all. And in that moment, something unpressed the pause button.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And that quickly I sped past this being.

[Bridget Anderson]

My vehicle, moved past it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My dog started moving again.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I'm looking in my driver's side

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

rear view mirror, thinking, was I hallucinating? Did this really just happen? And I can see this creature. It was black. Its hair was black, and the leaves and the foliage was all green, bright green.

[Bridget Anderson]

So there was no way it, like,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

blended in or anything.

[Bridget Anderson]

I saw this thing walk the rest

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

of the way across the road. And as it reached the edge of the road. This sounds crazy, but I swear to you, it pixeled out. It pixeled it. I saw it break up into a bunch of pixels and it just disappeared. I saw it disappear in my side rear view mirror and I was completely overwhelmed. I was crying. I felt all this love and all this pressure put on me. Like, what does he mean? So that I can help us all. I'm just one person, and I'm so screwed up in a mess, and I don't know what any of this is. I can't even help myself. How could I possibly help everybody else too?

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't know what to make of it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So we did make it back home. Not without further incident, of course. I always felt that darkness. It was two steps behind me and closing fast. It was always there. It was always watching. It was waiting for me to mess up.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I did.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

As I told you, I live in Ohio. As we got to Indiana and I got onto the interstate of 74, which. Which is the interstate that the exit

[Bridget Anderson]

for my house is on.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Now, we're still hours away from my house on this highway. But just as we had gotten onto that highway, that was the same highway I lived off of, it's like my body let out a little sigh of relief. It was almost like an involuntary thing, like, oh, we're on the highway that my house is off of. We might actually make it home.

[Bridget Anderson]

And just as my body let out that little sigh of relief, that was all it took.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Took. And all of this just came crashing down on top of me like someone had just crashed into a brick wall. And there were just bricks flying and hitting me. And some of these things that I had repressed, that had happened in Alaska

[Bridget Anderson]

were trying to work its way back into my mind.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I kept shutting it out, saying, no, I can't remember that. I don't want to know that. That will be my end.

[Bridget Anderson]

I don't want that.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I wouldn't let that enter back into my mind. But then all these other strange things that had happened were just flooding me and I actually started having a panic attack.

[Bridget Anderson]

And my hands and my feet went

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

numb and I was getting to the point I couldn't control the car anymore. And I was afraid we were going to crash. And now we were on a busy highway, but there were no cars around us. And so I slowly was able, using my hands like my arms on the steering wheel, was able to control the car enough to get it off the side of the highway. And with my numb foot on the brake, was able to bring us to a stop.

[Bridget Anderson]

But we were still in dry.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I was just sitting there at a stop and I wasn't breathing and the numbness was just moving up my arms and my legs. And I thought I was having a heart attack. I just had this weight and this pain on my chest and I was like, well, I thought we were going to make it home. We almost made it home, but this is the end. And all of a sudden I see lights coming and I can see in the. In the side rear view mirror that it's a semi coming towards me in the lane right next to where I'm pulled off on the highway. And I thought, I need help.

[Bridget Anderson]

And this is the only vehicle I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

see coming my way. I have no choice.

[Bridget Anderson]

I'm going to have to do something to one stop.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

These memories that are trying to come back into my head from getting in there, I to need. Need something to shake me out of that because I can't let that back in.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I need help. Medically, I think I'm having a heart attack. So right as the semi is nearing

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

me, I used my arms and I

[Bridget Anderson]

purposely pulled out in front of it, thinking that the semi was going to smash into me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I had a better shot of probably, maybe possibly surviving that impact than I did if I let whatever that was that was trying to get back

[Bridget Anderson]

into my head in.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I thought, this will knock it out, it'll knock me out. It'll stop that from coming back into my head. And yeah, there's only a small percentage of a chance that I'm going to

[Bridget Anderson]

survive this accident, but it's my only shot. I have to do it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I pulled out in front of this semi and this semi swerved so hard. I mean, it basically jackknifed itself to keep from hitting me. And this guy was furious. He rolled down his window and he said, what, do you have a fucking death wish or something? And all I could get out was heart attack.

[Bridget Anderson]

911, please.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And at that point, the expression on his face changed, his demeanor changed. He called 911 and they were asking him to check my pulse and different things. And he was asking me to roll down my window and unlock the car door so that he could check me. And I was still so paranoid and

[Bridget Anderson]

so distrusting and knew that darkness was

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

getting me and I wouldn't roll down the window. And I told him, buddy, I ain't unlocking the car door or unrolling down the window until I see sirens, so just back off.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so he's telling the 911 call,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

she won't let me. She won't let me even. She won't even roll down the window. So they finally convinced me to roll down the window a couple of inches

[Bridget Anderson]

and stick my arm out the window

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

so that he could take my pulse from my wrist. And the ambulance showed up, and they're all trying to get me to unlock my car door and get out of the car. And something inside of me is telling me no. I keep having these flashbacks to what the bigfoot had told me.

[Bridget Anderson]

Don't stop, don't sleep. Just keep going all the way.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So my body is telling me, no, you have to keep going.

[Bridget Anderson]

But my mind is saying, you can't.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

You're going to get yourself killed in this condition. You physically can't go on like this. So then the police tells me, you have no choice here, hon. I can't let you take off driving in this condition. You have to come out of the car and get in the ambulance and let us check you out. And so I start telling him there's no way I'm leaving my dog on the side of the highway here in the dark like this. That's just not going to happen. And so he called my parents and asked my parents, told them what had happened and that an ambulance was going to be taking me to a hospital and that.

[Bridget Anderson]

That they needed to come and pick up my dog.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And the police officer promised me that he would stand there with my car until my parents got there to pick him up. And so I got in the ambulance, and I was facing my car so my dog could see me on the

[Bridget Anderson]

stretcher in the ambulance. The doors were still open, and I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

could see my dog, and I could

[Bridget Anderson]

see this worried look on his face.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I knew that he was hoping more than anything that I would get out of that ambulance and come back to the car, that I wasn't going to drive away and leave him there. And as they started to close the

[Bridget Anderson]

doors, I saw the look on his

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

face, Just that crushed look when he realized, she is driving off and leaving me here.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I came undone. That look on his face did more

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to me than any of that darkness ever did. I was shaking uncontrollably. I was shaking so bad that my teeth were chattering. And the ambulance worked. Said that I was going to break

[Bridget Anderson]

my teeth because I couldn't calm myself down.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And they were going to have to tranquilize me for my own safety. So they did.

[Bridget Anderson]

And within a couple of minutes, I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

felt like I was just floating on this cloud. And I didn't forget any of it. I knew what was happening. I was still completely aware of what I had just done and how I had just left my dog on the side of the highway. And the dog, because I had no choice.

[Bridget Anderson]

I just didn't care so much anymore.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It was, like, comfortably numb.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so we get to the hospital,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and I thought only a few minutes had passed, but apparently hours had passed. And my parents are walking into the hospital, and the first thing out of my mouth is, where's my dog? Where's Eros? And my mom's saying, calm down. Eros is fine.

[Bridget Anderson]

He's out in the car waiting for you.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Let's get you checked out of here and get you home. So they got me checked out of the hospital and. And put me in the car. My mom was going to drive my car with me and eros in it, and my dad was going to drive their car back and follow us. And my dog was with me in the backseat, and my mom was driving. I was in the passenger seat. And as we took off driving, my dog laid his head on my mom's shoulder and just laid out.

[Bridget Anderson]

Just gave out the. This sigh. And it's like I could feel him saying or thinking or feeling, thank God

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

you're here, because we weren't going to make it. And my parents drove us back home, and I did get to see my home again. And my life did go on. Obviously, I'm. I'm still here.

[Bridget Anderson]

Other things had happened after that.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It wasn't like that was the end and we were safe now. I. I knew that we weren't safe, but.

[Bridget Anderson]

But I did feel like at least

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

we're on home turf now. At least I've got the home court advantage. I've got resources. I've got my family. You know, I know this area. I know these woods around here. Should I ever find myself in a similar situation, a lot better than, you know, being thousands of miles away on my own up in Alaska. So, you know, some other things have happened since then. Quite a few things, actually.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Then fast forward to 2019, when the COVID lockdown started. It was a huge shift. Like, you know, you're so caught up in your daily routines and you got to get to work and take care of the kid and get her to school, and you don't really have as much time to sit and reflect on things and focus on things. It's like I had kind of put all of that out of my head and I'm not doing that anymore. I don't want to be associated with any of that. I just want to live a normal life and watch my kid grow up and just be done. So then 2019 and the COVID lockdowns happened. And once there was no more school, there was no more work. We were just stuck in this house all the time.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had a spiritual awakening.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And during that spiritual awakening, it was overwhelming.

[Bridget Anderson]

It was like I was having like

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a dozen different TV sets being thrown at me. But. But these weren't just images on a tv. This was everything. This was the whole experience.

[Bridget Anderson]

This was the emotion, the understanding, the

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

seeing it from a higher perspective, each one of those events. And it was all these events of high strangeness that I've experienced all my life. But I was seeing them with, like, a different level of consciousness now. I was seeing.

[Bridget Anderson]

I was seeing it from outside of,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

like, looking down at it. Like, I could see why it happened and I could see the whole experience, not just the little flashbacks that had been going off in my head my whole life. And I had a completely different understanding as to what all this was and why all this was happening to me.

[Bridget Anderson]

And that obviously I came to realize,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I said that I had thought that I was being punished.

[Bridget Anderson]

When I was told that I had

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to walk this dark path alone, I thought that I was being punished and that the light had cut me free and turned me over to Darkness. And I came to realize after that awakening that I wasn't being punished, that

[Bridget Anderson]

it was a great honor that they felt that I was strong enough to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

make it through that.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I did.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They were right, of course. It took a lot of help from players on both sides, the dark and the light. I never would have made it on my own. I should have been dead a million times over by now. But something always stepped in and sacrificed of themselves or gave me a clue or a hint, or helped me to make it through, to keep going.

[Bridget Anderson]

And then suddenly what that Bigfoot had

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

told me, that it's going to help me because we're all suffering in here

[Bridget Anderson]

in the hopes that I could help us all. And suddenly I knew what that meant and what I was supposed to do

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to help us all.

[Moto Casino Announcer]

All.

[Bridget Anderson]

And what I was supposed to do

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

was share my experiences and tell the world everything that I've been through and what I learned from it and what it all meant. And that I would help awaken humanity, help usher in the Great Awakening, which would give humanity a greater understanding of what this reality is and that we would be granted access to some of these higher frequency or higher realm aspects of existence. That we were being granted that opportunity. That this was all a huge test and that I had been put through all of these things and guided through them to make it through them so that I could share them with everyone, to help everyone understand what this all was. Essentially a simulation.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so I wrote my PDF.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It's a free public PDF. I posted it free immediately after writing it. It was almost like a stream of consciousness. All of this was just coming out of my head so fast. I was just typing. I never went back and edited it. I didn't fix any spelling errors.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't even read it back. As soon as I typed the last

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

word, I took it down to the copy store and I had some hard

[Bridget Anderson]

copies printed out and then I immediately posted it as a free public PDF. And there's a lot of experiences in

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

there that I didn't get into here.

[Bridget Anderson]

Because as I said, I am a

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

lifelong high level experiencer and so many

[Bridget Anderson]

things have happened to me, I couldn't

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

possibly sit here and run down every single thing. And it would take forever.

[Bridget Anderson]

But for those that are interested in

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hearing some of my other experiences and some of this in a lot more detail, you can find that PDF@PDFhostIO and if you go to that website, you

[Bridget Anderson]

can click on the search bar and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

type in the gray area. That's gray.

[Bridget Anderson]

G R E Y And it's the third or fourth document down.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

My name's on there.

[Bridget Anderson]

And look for the yin and yang sign on the COVID So that is

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

my story, or at least the highlights of my story. And I hope everyone gained something from it. I came to realize that after seeing it from this different perspective, as traumatizing and horrifying as most of it was, knowing now what it was and why it was and how much of an honor it was, I would absolutely do it again.

[Bridget Anderson]

And if the things that I went through helped fill in even one blank for one person, then it was worth it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So I would encourage everyone to go to PDFhost IO and type in the gray area in the search bar and read the PDF and. And hopefully it would help enlighten you as to what some of this is and why some of this is. So thank you for having me and for listening to me ramble for a couple of hours now.

[John Daly / Paranormal Radio Announcer]

Wow.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

What a journey. Bridgette.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Yeah, it has been very, very bizarre my entire life. Like I said, from the time I was two or three years old, this stuff started. And it has been lifelong. And. And it's just been one wild ride, that's for sure. And I'm just extremely thankful to have made it through it, to be here, to be able to discuss it and to help others that are going through these similar things, that are questioning their sanity or not understanding why this is happening to them and what all of this is. So, like I said, if I can fill in even one blank for someone, then it was all worth it. It.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

I'll make the link available in the description of this episode and on the website. Definitely worth a read, especially all those looking for answers.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Thank you. Yeah, it's like I said, the spelling mistakes are in there and I didn't edit it or even reread it. After going back and rereading it since posting it, there were areas I wished I had defined a little better. There were areas that I realized might be a little bit confusing and that I should have maybe worded something a different way. But at the time, I felt like. Like I wanted it exactly the way that it came out of my head. Because sometimes you can gain some interesting information from those Freudian slips, if you want to call it that, or even from the. The grammar mistakes. So I. I didn't.

[Bridget Anderson]

I felt very strongly that I didn't want to change a single word, a single spelling mistake.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I was like in. Under the influence of this energy, like this almost like a consciousness conscious streaming, like this was just pouring out of me. And I wrote it in just a few marathon typing sessions, one of which was literally an overnight marathon. I was just typing faster than I could keep up. My mind was just like flying a million miles. And I just kept thinking, I got to get it all out. I got to get it all out and out of my hands before anybody could stop it from going public. And once it's out, it's like I can let out this big sigh of relief. I did my job.

[Bridget Anderson]

I put my truth out there, and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

hopefully it helps some people, and that's the best that I can do. So I was able to get it

[Bridget Anderson]

posted publicly as a free public document,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and it's gotten close to 4,000 hits so far. So obviously, some people have found it, and I've gotten a lot of really good feedback on it from people. So I feel like I have done my job to the best that I

[Bridget Anderson]

can, and I continue to try and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

do that job of helping others to understand this, and that's the big reason that I'm here speaking with you today.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

How did you have the strength and the energy to go through all that?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Honestly, I don't know that I did. I think I had the anger.

[Bridget Anderson]

I think I was pissed off that

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

this was happening to me, that something was putting me through all of this, and I turned that anger into energy to fight it with.

[Bridget Anderson]

And that's what it was.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It was me taking all that anger and turning it into the energy I needed to keep going and fight through this. This.

[Bridget Anderson]

What else could I do?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I couldn't stop the stuff from happening. I was going to have to endure it one way or another. So I might as well get mad and put on my, you know, my warrior suit and lean into it, because I had no choice, really.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

When you travel, it's the traveling which is important, not the destination. What do you feel was up that mountain in Alaska?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Yeah, I actually wrote something to that effect in the last chapter. I to want give you a spoiler alert, but something to that effect in the last chapter of my PDF that

[Bridget Anderson]

I realized it's not about the destination, it's about the journey and how you

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

conduct yourself on that journey. One of the experiences that I didn't

[Bridget Anderson]

get into here, which I guess I

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

probably should have because it leaves everybody on a cliffhanger as to why I felt I needed to go to Alaska and what it was that was there for me during my awakening, I was shown a memory that I had no knowledge of. I had had no flashbacks of this.

[Bridget Anderson]

I had no knowledge whatsoever of this. But I was shown a memory of a hybrid child of mine. And it was the fetus that was taken from me that Christmas Eve, my

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

first year of college. And this hybrid was human. And the alien hybrid, and this little

[Bridget Anderson]

girl was old, almost 10 years old.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I. I saw her hair, and I recognized her hair on a cellular level. And at first my mind said, oh,

[Bridget Anderson]

her hair looks like mine. And then I stopped. And I was like, no, not like mine.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

It is mine.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it hit me at that moment

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

that this was my hybrid child. And I was in an underground facility.

[Bridget Anderson]

And there was a blue being sitting beside me.

[John Daly / Paranormal Radio Announcer]

Me.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And another blue being was walking across this field with. With carrying this hybrid child. I didn't know it was a hybrid child at the time. I just saw this blue being walking across the field with.

[Bridget Anderson]

Carrying something. And then as they got up to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

a few feet away from us, that's when I was looking at this child and recognized the hair and recognized that this was my child. And all of a sudden it's like. Like they had put the memory in my head of that flash to that

[Bridget Anderson]

night, Christmas Eve, when I lost that pregnancy. And then the being beside me smiled,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

like this smile, this knowing smile of, yeah, that's what happened. And I knew and I could feel. And basically she told me telepathically that we were very important to their research, that they needed to see what would happen when that connection was withheld from both of us. And apparently what happened was that this hybrid child developed her psi abilities and drew me to Alaska like a beacon.

[Bridget Anderson]

So what I felt that I needed

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to go out there and get what I felt was physically there for me

[Bridget Anderson]

was my hybrid child who was desperate

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to make that connection with me and who was using some sort of viability to draw me out there. And I didn't know what was drawing me out there, but I knew it was so strong and so important that I would give up my life to get out there.

[Bridget Anderson]

And no matter how hard they knocked

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

me down, I was going to get up and keep going. I was going to get there or I was going to die trying. And I think by the third time that I was on my way out

[Bridget Anderson]

there, they realized she's never going to

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

stop coming for her. Even though she doesn't actually consciously know what it is she's coming for, it's strong enough that she won't stop. And so at that point, they had to show me her.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I guess they'd gotten the answer

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to their experiment, that that's what would happen when that connection was withheld. We all seek to know who we are and where we come from. And I can only imagine from her

[Bridget Anderson]

point of view that, you know, she

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

would be desperate to know her mother or who she came from. And apparently there is an unseen connection, a l accord that they don't. The others, the non human intelligence, they don't quite understand. They're. They're trying to figure it out, how to manipulate that connection, what, what's all involved in that connection. And I guess she and I were a big part of their experiments and trying to understand that. So I did and was shown in my awakening that what all that Alaska stuff was about was me on the inside being drawn to, to seek out my child. And hybrid or not, she's still my child. And, and I love her. And that was one of the big reasons that I wrote the book as well. I. I felt like if I write this and I put it out there,

[Bridget Anderson]

it will forever be in the records and somehow, some way, she'll be able

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to gain access to it and know that I. I never. I never did not want her. I was too young. I didn't understand. It wasn't that I didn't want her. I didn't want to be 19 years old with a baby and a college dropout and that I didn't know what had happened. And I didn't know that she was taken and obviously mixed with another species. And I wanted her to know that I loved her, that I did try to get to her, and that I would never stop trying to get to her. So that was another reason that, that I wrote and published the book in the hope that it would somehow find its way to her one day.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Obviously you still think about her every day.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her and I wonder what her existence has been. That I carry that guilt that maybe if I hadn't asked God to take it back and give me that second chance, maybe she'd have been born and none of this would have happened. She would have known where she came from. She wouldn't have felt like she was given up or taken or. I don't know what she feels from her perspective. And I think about it every day. What does she know? What does she think, will I ever meet her? Will we be able to make contact?

[Bridget Anderson]

Because when they showed her to me,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

there was a glass wall that ran from, like, it was like a hockey rink, like from my waist all the way up to the ceiling.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I could sense I Could feel

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

that this wall didn't allow any resonance

[Bridget Anderson]

to go through it. This child would not have known or felt.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Felt my presence there, just as I couldn't feel hers. I didn't know it was her until

[Bridget Anderson]

she was close enough that I could

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

look at her hair and somehow recognized it on a cellular level that it's not just like my hair. It is my hair. It comes from me. And that was my thought, was this being was created for me. And it was at that moment that I believe they put that flashback in my mind of losing that pregnancy 10 years earlier and me realizing and putting those pieces together, like, wow, that's what happened to this fetus that night that I lost her. And here I am 10 years later in Alaska, seeking her out from some unknown connection that I didn't even know

[Bridget Anderson]

that that's what was calling me to Alaska.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But it, in fact, was this child who had, I guess, developed her psi abilities to make contact and draw me to her in any way that she could. And so apparently we were very important to their research in that regard.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

The countless people I spoke to over the years, which go for a very similar ordeal. There is always a connection and it's always both ways. Because she's part of you.

[Bridget Anderson]

Yeah.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Yeah, it's tough. When I was given that flashback back, it sent me to a really bad place. I spent days in my bathroom just crying, shaking and vomiting. That's all I could do was cry and shake and vomit and just think, how could you do this?

[Bridget Anderson]

I never would have. I never would have wanted that for her.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I didn't know what had happened to her. I thought God had answered my prayer and that God had taken her back

[Bridget Anderson]

to the light or given her to someone who was ready for her and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

to give her a good life.

[Bridget Anderson]

I never in a million years would

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

have thought that that's what would have become of that fetus. And so there's a lot of guilt with that.

[Bridget Anderson]

I.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I have to live with that, that this is what happened. And yeah, to a degree, I couldn't control it. It was beyond my control. But there is still that level of it was my doing that created her in the first place, that asked for her to not exist so that I could have a second chance, which is an awful, selfish thing on my part, but at 19 years old and, you know, you don't know any better. And I certainly didn't know any of that. And so I'll always wonder. Life was like, did she have a good life? Who raised her? Was she loved you know, and I hope to get those answers. I do hope at some point, whether it's in this life experience or after it, I hope to get those answers and to make contact with her.

[Bridget Anderson]

I'm holding out for that.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Of course, you can tell yourself as much as possible, but at the end of the day, you know, we all have paths and this was your path, and this was, was her path, whether it's divine or not.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Yeah. And I do tell myself that, that somehow they knew that I was strong enough to endure all of this. So surely the soul that they put into that unborn child would have had to have been a strong soul because they would have known what she was

[Bridget Anderson]

going to be facing, what she would endure.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So that's the one thing that gives me some peace and some solace, was that, you know, all this time I was traumatized and, and scared. And then once I saw it from outside of it and realized what it all was, I realized that they were right, that I was strong enough and able to get through this.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I did.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And so I have to just have that faith that she too was selected, knowing what she would endure and that

[Bridget Anderson]

they knew that she was strong enough to endure it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So that's the one saving grace that I have, is that surely they're looking out for her as well, just as they did for me throughout this whole life experience.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

I hope, you know, like I said, she's made up with the same hard stuff you are. So I do speak to a lot of people and a lot of people's experiences on here. Not all of them will share the fact that they've had this pregnancy and they've lost it the same. A lot of them will just share their experiences, leave that out and then tell me off record. But it is mind blowing.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Nothing is off record. I want everyone to know all of this, the stuff that's uncomfortable and embarrassing and that you wouldn't necessarily share. I mean, when you read that PDF, there's things in there that I wish everybody didn't know about me and.

[Bridget Anderson]

But it's important that they do know because it's all part of it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I want people to see the whole thing. I'm not keeping anything out. I put it all out there. And you know, if that's my mission is to turn myself inside out for the whole world to see all of these bad decisions and things that I went through and then that's my path and I'm going to, to follow faithfully and do what I feel and was told that I need to do and,

[Bridget Anderson]

and I'm doing it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I'm talking, you know, on our weekly show, I'm putting the PDF out there and encouraging people to check it out and share it with others. I'm working with a MUFON investigator. I told you I did do the two hour interview with Linda Moulton how although that actually was was more about the my lab experiences.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't even get into this with you.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But in addition to being a lifelong highlight level experiencer, I am also a lifelong my lab abductees.

[Bridget Anderson]

The US Government's been very interested in

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

my experiences and abilities as well.

[Bridget Anderson]

And that's a whole nother ball of whack.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Yeah, I've got that written at the top here. My lab.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Yeah, it's oh, I could kill some of those people. And I actually am hoping to testify before Congress under oath with David Grush. And things starting to break open and Congress wanting to hear from people that were involved in these programs. We're told that eventually they will want to hear from experiencers as well. I am also a research subject of Melinda Leslie and she's joined our show several times and she's friends with Daniel Sheehan who is a top constitutional trial lawyer famous for bringing whistleblower cases against the United States government. And Melinda Leslie is good friends with Sheehan and I am trying to use my connection with Melinda to get to get me in the door with Daniel Sheehan. And I'm hoping to generate a class

[Bridget Anderson]

action lawsuit against our government for these

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

MyLab activities because I think a lot of people would not be okay with

[Bridget Anderson]

realizing that their very young children are

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

being abducted by the United States government and they're being tested for psi abilities.

[Bridget Anderson]

And if they have those psi abilities, they're going to be inducted into these

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

black op programs and forced to do

[Bridget Anderson]

and endure horrifying things.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I've talked extensively on our weekly

[Bridget Anderson]

Twitter show about it.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Of all the bad experiences that I've been through in my life and all the traumatizing things with the non human intelligence, it doesn't even come close to

[Bridget Anderson]

the betrayal that I feel from these my lab activities.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Just being that feeling of being betrayed by your own people. Not only am I traumatized and scared and don't know what any of this

[Bridget Anderson]

is, but then you're re abducting me, forcefully interrogating me, forcing me to do

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

things I don't want to do so that you can get answers for yourself and you're not sharing those answers with

[Bridget Anderson]

the world or humanity to help us

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

all as a species you're selfishly hoarding this information for yourselves to see what you can get out of it. And you're destroying people's lives in the process. And so it is also my mission to expose this.

[Bridget Anderson]

And I have enough information to do just that.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So that's a whole nother ball of wax. And I've endured threats and surveillance. I've been under surveillance my entire life. And I'm sure this was listened in on as well. All of my electronics are. I've had interference like calls dropped, been

[Bridget Anderson]

kicked out of our show, had things

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

that I mailed in the US Mail that never made it to their destination. So, yeah, that's a whole other ball of wax that I didn't even get into with you. But in addition to being a lifelong experiencer, I'm also a lifelong MyLab abductee. And the two seem to go hand in hand. If you're a high level experiencer, they're interested. They want to know why and what it is about you and what your abilities are and what you can do for them ultimately.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

You know, a lot of people, they say, say, oh, the government wouldn't do that. They wouldn't do that kind of thing to their own people. I'm not just talking about the United States. I'm talking about various different governments. But governments which experiment on their own soldiers. You have governments which spy on their own people. There's nothing that they won't do for their own interest.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I think that's one of the things that people are finally starting to wake up to. I think we're all realizing that the veil's been pulled over our eyes in so many different ways by so many different entities that we're starting to wake up now and look around and say, hey, these people haven't been operating in my best interest and looking out for me.

[Bridget Anderson]

They've been taking my tax dollars and

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

actually using them to manipulate and control me to benefit themselves. And I think as more of this

[Bridget Anderson]

starts to come out, all hell's gonna break loose.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Because when people realize the things that our government has really been involved in and what they've been doing and doing to their own citizens, like you said, say, I don't think there's many that are going to be okay with it. I mean, every horrifying thing you can imagine and so much that you can't even imagine is going on in these underground bases and they are abducting young children and testing them and traumatizing them to get them to disassociate so that they can pull out these liabilities in them and the ones that make it to the top of the class. And unfortunately, I was one of those, because as a child, you dissociated, want to please the adults. You don't realize what you're getting yourself into. But if you do find yourself at the top of the class and with these abilities, they forcefully induct you into these programs, and before you know it, as a teenager, they're throwing you into real world horrifying situations, trying to get you to make contact with dark entities and trying to have you be an astral scout and lead their military groups to different artifacts that they're looking for. And they're threatening you, they're threatening to kill you, they're killing people in front of you to disassociate you so that you will do these things for them.

[Bridget Anderson]

And then there's the whole sexual misconduct

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

element of it as well. You're dealing underground with extremely secretive programs

[Bridget Anderson]

that have zero oversight.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And these are all young, sexually active males that are, that are in these programs. And so there is a lot of sexual misconduct that happens to these children and young adults, adult, particularly females, but I'm sure males as well. And so that's just a whole nother element that is just sick.

[Bridget Anderson]

And it's got to be stopped.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

These programs have got to be exposed. The people that, that were running them and that were calling the shots that were at the top of the, of the food chain there, they need to be held accountable. They made choices and now they need to stand beside them just like everybody else. So I actually feel honored to get

[Bridget Anderson]

to be one of the ones that gets to deliver that bill to them.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

And I tend to do exactly that.

[Bridget Anderson]

I've got enough names, dates, locations, equipment names.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I've got enough to make a dent in things, and they know it.

[Bridget Anderson]

And they did a subconscious interrogation on

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

me after my awakening. They wanted to know how much I had gotten back and what I planned on doing with it. And I didn't let them in. I tucked some of the deepest stuff away. They used an energy weapon. They were in a craft over my house and they used a directed energy weapon. And. And I wake up in my bed and there's a notebook and a pen laying next to my head. And I didn't put it there. So clearly they had come into my home and put that there. And they instructed me that I was not to write down the questions, only to write down the answers.

[Bridget Anderson]

Why they had me write them down, I don't know.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I have that notebook and I have all those things that I wrote down and there were a few times that I did actually write down the questions or write down things that I, I wasn't supposed to. And those pages were forwarded to Linda Moulton Howe, she has those.

[Bridget Anderson]

And they were forwarded to others as well.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So they know better than to even try and come and steal them or make them disappear at this point.

[Bridget Anderson]

I put them in enough places that it doesn't matter.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

So this is all going to come out and I will be going public with all of it. And if the, the class action suit doesn't take, then I intend to file

[Bridget Anderson]

criminal charges charges against the, the ones that have done the worst things to me.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

So wish you the best of luck with that.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Yeah, that, that would be a whole nother show there because like I said, I didn't even get into that aspect of things with you. I, I just kind of wanted to

[Bridget Anderson]

keep it with the high strangeness and it wasn't even all the high strangeness,

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

just sort of the highlights and the general consensus of the way my life has gone and the, the path that I was led down and, and realizing why that was and, and what it all was and, but yeah, side of that I had the US government abducting me as well, wanting to know what, what do they want you to do? What are they saying to you? Well, why do you have this connection with them? And you know, we need you to do this for us and we need you to make contact with this. And it was just awful. It was so awful, like so much worse than any of the non human intelligence encounters and interactions.

[Bridget Anderson]

So.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I truly believe they're going to get what's coming to them because they should have known that they were not going to be able to keep this

[Bridget Anderson]

secret forever and that eventually there would be whistleblow and people would come out

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

and, and now it's happening. So I'm very excited and honored that I made it this far, that I'm here to put my truth out there, to hold certain people accountable for the things that they did and to watch the awakening of the human species and to see all of this come out into the light of day. It's just amazing that I even made it this far indeed.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Like I said, it's quite a journey because there was obviously two factions at work here. You know, you've got a relatively good side of things and then you've got this very dark force that just seems to want to keep pulling you back.

[Bridget Anderson]

Yeah, the yin and the yang.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

The dark and the light. And I came to realize that they're both necessary and serve their purpose.

[Bridget Anderson]

And without one, the other wouldn't exist. Like they say that saying if it

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

weren't for the darkness, you wouldn't see the stars. It's like a push, pull, a magnetic balance that keeps this whole thing working.

[Bridget Anderson]

And so as tough as those dark

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

experiences can be, they are necessary. And I'm just privileged that I made it through both sides, the light and the dark, and that I'm still here to tell about it.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

And post Covid, are you still having experiences? Is there still things going on?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Not too much. I feel like I was given most, probably not all I know not all, but I was given most of the of these experiences I've had all my life back and an understanding of what they were. After the awakening, I was re abducted by all the different groups that I've had interactions with.

[Bridget Anderson]

Just like the humans.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

They all wanted to know how much I was given back and what I

[Bridget Anderson]

planned on doing with it. And there was some threats and intimidations made that, you know, I shouldn't be going public with this and I shouldn't

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

be naming names and that, you know, I just don't understand that there's bigger things in play here.

[Bridget Anderson]

And you know, I, at this point

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I have no fear of any of them and I told them all, thank

[Bridget Anderson]

you for your opinion and I will

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

certainly take it into account. But ultimately I'm going to do what I feel is best and I've been given the authority to do that.

[Bridget Anderson]

So unfortunately you have no choice but to just sit back and let that happen. And that's what I'm doing.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Good stuff. Good job, Bridget.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

Oh, thank you. I. I started thinking like man, I've been talking for like two hours non stop, I hope he's still there that we didn't like cut out or something. I'm talking with dead air.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

No, I would have gone contact with you again. Don't worry. Now Bridget, a message to our listeners. Now there are plenty people out there that have gone through similar programs, you understand probably of what they're going through and what they're feeling. What advice would you give them?

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

I would say stand in your truth. I was told that I need to have the courage to speak my truth

[Bridget Anderson]

and the conviction to stand beside it. As more and more of us come

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

forward and share these uncomfortable truths, it makes it that much easier for others to do so. And as more and more do so, we start to realize that this is happening to a lot more People than are willing or who have been willing to come forward and share that. And knowing that and starting to realize that destigmatizes it. And soon there's not going to be any stigma associated with this.

[Bridget Anderson]

Many people don't come forward because they

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

fear it will ruin their professional reputation, that their friends and families are going to think that they're crazy, that they're going to be put into a mental institution. I mean, most of my life that was why I did.

[Bridget Anderson]

I didn't speak out loud about any of this.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

The few times that I put a few feelers out there, I could see people looking at me like I was stark raving mad. And I thought, okay, I cannot talk about this because I'm going to end up in a mental institution. And then I'm certainly not going to complete my mission or have any kind of a normal life. So that's not an option. I'm going to have to keep it all inside. But now the world is changing, the landscape is changing. We have made more progress in the

[Bridget Anderson]

the last five years in these matters

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

than I think in all of human existence. Prior so the world is changing. People do believe you. And there is now a change where people are looking to experiencers to want to know what we experienced and why do we think we experienced these things and what was the reasoning for it all and who are these beings and what does it all mean? People want those answers now. And we have sort of backed our government into a corner where they really have no choice but to come forward with disclosure. And sure, they're trying to control it and manipulate it and give us as little as possible so that they don't have their dirty laundry get hung out in the process. But with that disclosure going public, and it shouldn't be this way, but hearing your government or authoritative figure tell you, yeah, okay, these things are real and they have been happening. And yeah, we have been looking into them for a long time. We didn't tell you because we didn't know what it was. Well, that destigmatizes it in a map way. And now all these different organizations are popping up and people are creating private databases to log all these types of activities so that they can try and find the common threads to put some of these pieces together. And I believe that we all hold some of these pieces, some of us

[Bridget Anderson]

knowingly, some of us unknowingly.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]

But I believe from the bottom of my heart that we have to all have the courage, courage to come forward with our truths and put our piece of the puzzle out there so that we and others can start manipulating those pieces of the puzzle to try to get a sense of that big picture and what it is and why all this is happening. So I would say to others, have the courage to come forward and speak your truth, do your part, put your piece of the puzzle on the table so that even if you don't want to work with that puzzle, others have the that piece to work with it.

[Nick Hunter (UFO Chronicles Host)]

Wonderful final words, Bridget, I really appreciate you coming on sharing that for our listeners.

[Bridget Anderson (Narrator)]
