I've never read any of the books.

My knowledge of Skinwalker Ranch growing up here was based solely on a lot of the rumors and stories that are going around at church or at school in the local newspapers.

I haven't seen any of the movies.

I haven't read any of the books.

And going on to the ranch...

My excitement for being able to go on the ranch, and I was excited when Jim offered me the chance because here's this mysterious place that nobody else gets to go on.

It was kind of the notoriety, the ability to go do something that most people were not able to.

But as far as my personal beliefs in it, the whole paranormal stuff, the skinwalker, all these orbs, all the things that have been talked about, I didn't believe in it.

I just thought it was people's imaginations running wild.

And part of the problem in the UFO world and the paranormal world is we have a lot of claims and very little evidence to back it up.

I'm just supposed to take your word that that hairy thing on your screen is not a dust ball, but rather some type of object up in the sky.

So...

um you know it's amazing as far as technologically advanced as we are we still can't seem to get a clear picture of something you know they're all grainy and fuzzy i think you could call me i was a very healthy skeptic and uh i don't i didn't believe in a lot of it that was that was really my viewpoint coming onto the ranch is i'd heard the stories i didn't believe the stories and i didn't think there was anything to it other than just a bunch of uh

imagination's running wild.

Yeah.

So when I met Brandon Fugle for the first time, Jim Morse took me – I drove out to Salt Lake and Jim Morse took me into Brandon's office.

And Brandon – so Brandon's the largest commercial real estate broker in the Intermountain West.

He's huge.

His name is everywhere, and you've got to understand that for your viewers that are over there across the pond, the –

Brandon is big.
