Original subtitles

so here's Homestead too I'm gonna walk

around

uh there are lots and lots of

stories about this particular place

so let's go ahead and go in

foreign

I heard a thump over here

so this is creepy

did you hear that

right here

so over there I heard a thumb

and I just heard it again

I swear to God I keep hearing it

what

[Music]

Skinwalker Ranch is a 500 acre property

in eastern Utah it's also supposedly one

of the most haunted places on Earth

for 20 years the ranch was owned by

Robert Bigelow a real estate millionaire

obsessed with the Paranormal Bigelow

claimed the ranch was a hot spot for

UFOs poltergeists

and all kinds of monsters but no

evidence to support any of this has ever

been presented

in 2016 Bigelow sold the ranch to

another real estate millionaire with a

passion for the Paranormal

Brandon fugle

and Fugal claims to finally have the

goods

proof

evidence

he produces a reality TV show on the

History Channel called The Secret of

Skinwalker Ranch it claims to show Real

Paranormal phenomena

proving that the spooky Legends of the

ranch are actually true

I reached out to Brandon pugel and asked

if I could come to the ranch and see

this evidence for myself

I was surprised when he enthusiastically

accepted

he said I could come to the ranch that

he would show me everything and that he

would answer all my questions so I got

on a plane

and my journey began

I fly to Salt Lake City Utah

a city I used to live in

Brandon fugle tells me that before I can

go to Skinwalker Ranch

he needs to show me some things first he

says there's a whole back story that I

need to hear before I can fully

understand the ranch

so I drive 45 minutes down the I-15 to

the city of Provo another city I used to

live in

[Music]

hey how's it going

it really has yeah it's like the

Batmobile yeah this is my driver

[Music]

you know it makes sense that someone who

owns Skinwalker Ranch would drive this

crazy I'm just

[Music]

Brandon says being the owner of

Skinwalker Ranch only takes up five

percent of his day and he wants to show

me his real job

[Applause]

the landscape of the valley surrounding

Salt Lake City is changing

brand new buildings are popping up

everywhere

and a lot of these buildings all have

something in common

Brandon fugel

his name is posted on signs up and down

the Salt Lake Valley

I noticed your name all over the sign

yeah I mean there's your name right over

there yeah

Brandon takes me up to an overlook

every new building in the valley below

us is part of his real estate Empire so

you did this one this one this one that

one this is why I work 18 to 20 hours a

day

[Music]

over the next three hours we drive from

building to building

to building

all new construction

Brandon's name in the front

Fugal is the chairman of Collier's

International the number one commercial

real estate company in the state of Utah

Colliers

has a global as one of the top three

Global players manages 2 billion square

feet of commercial space globally hey

Pete how's it going

congratulations on our closing Crow

I have never worked with more talented

harder working more charismatic real

estate genius in the world is that is

that true no no he's preaching false

Doctrine it's hard not to be impressed

he is without a doubt an extremely

successful real estate magnet

and while it may not seem like it he and

I actually have a few things in common

we both were born and raised in the

Mormon religion

we were both Mormon missionaries

and we both attended Utah Valley

University

except his name is now on a building and

mine's not this is the newly completed

Brandon fugel Gateway

administration building I recently

donated five million dollars in support

of really the expansion of this

incredible institution where I went to

school

we stop in Brandon's hometown of

Pleasant Grove where his uncle guy

fuegel is currently the mayor

and there's a Mormon church on nearly

every corner

[Music]

Brandon comes here every day to refill

on gas

and caffeine

how's it going

doing good just grabbing a Diet Mountain

Dew as usual

I'm a bit of a germaphobe so I try not

to touch

the knobs but it's a mixture of Diet

Mountain Dew with just a splash of Goji

Citrus strawberry

I start every day with the 52 ounce of

Diet Mountain Dew

I drink about two to three hundred

ounces a day

of this stuff and Friends

is my hometown gas station I've been

going here since I was a little boy hey

nyri how's it going

let's put these

let's put this on my tab

and you can attest am I here every day

or not every single day

so like everyone knows your name in

there yeah this is it's it's the center

of gravity for Pleasant Grove Town here

where I've lived my whole life and grown

up why is a place like this important to

you you know

roots are important to me Heritage is

important to me and my family you know

they were converts to the LDS church and

came from primarily Scandinavia settled

here in the 1860s and uh and this is

home

[Music]

in 1820 a young boy in Upstate New York

named Joseph Smith claimed God and Jesus

Christ physically appeared before him

and told him that none of the world's

religions were true

and that they were choosing him as their

Prophet to establish God's true religion

over the next few years Smith claimed

angels visited him via interdimensional

portals and provided him with a new

religious text The Book of Mormon

Smith called his new religion the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and

he eventually attracted over 2 000

followers but in 1844 Joseph Smith was

murdered by an angry anti-mormon mob

the sentiment grew more Mormons were

attacked and even killed

so Smith's successor Brigham Young led

the Mormon pioneers out west

they traveled over 1 000 miles through

harsh conditions to find Refuge from

violence and persecution

their wagons and hand carts finally

arrived at the Salt Lake Valley in Utah

and there in the desert they built a

temple to their God in a city for their

people

they Proclaim these are the latter days

the final days of conflict between God

and the devil

Angels and Demons

Brandon fugel's ancestors were part of

this group of early Utah Mormons this is

the old historic Fugal blacksmith shop

this was constructed in the 1890s by my

great grandfather next door you have one

of the older structures standing in town

my great great grandfather

lived in a little underground Dugout

those first harsh Winters here and then

they built this structure right on top

of it in the 18

60s so uh Brandon I have to admit like I

had no idea

your roots were everywhere here like

it's you're far-reaching you know I we

passed the the cemetery just now and one

of the the great big heads all Fugal my

great great grandfather my

great-grandfather my even my father who

recently passed up the hill from where

his Mormon ancestors lived Brandon shows

me where he plans to build his fourth

home

so right here you're gonna build your

future home yeah in the next few months

he shows me architectural mock-ups of

what the house will look like oh that's

the right that's what it's going to look

like this is going to be the front we're

going to be it's like a castle Yeah

that's awesome

it's right out of a fairy tale Road a

fairy tale it's it's pretty

extraordinary Brandon tells me he has a

master plan for the patch of woods below

I'm gonna have the most terrifying

Haunted Forest in the state every

Halloween in fact I'm gonna I will have

fog machines and strobe lights I plan on

making it so terrifying it'll make

children cry but they'll get full-size

candy bars out of it oh and I'm gonna

totally have the Scooby-Doo factor with

secret passageways hidden staircases

that I've already planned to build into

it here because you can't build a castle

without having the Scooby-Doo Factor

without having you know trap doors and

secret rooms right right

we end up in Salt Lake City

at Brandon's high-rise condo

it's kind of it's a nice convenience to

have this as a splash pad to operate how

many splash pads do you have Brandon

couple you have a couple yeah

[Music]

splash pads

[Music]

so I I like I just wing it you know but

I I love I grew up writing music and

that was my passion I was the only

elementary school kid who knew the close

encounters that

the close encounters theme and all that

stuff do that again

[Music]

I'm a songwriter I had banned rock bands

all through high school and then I have

a dark secret techno project called

supplicant

I saw it yes that was very yes the music

video yeah I've seen it it's funky yes

[Music]

you've got you know the alien head this

is actually a a faithful license

Recreation uh from H.R Geiger yeah

that's from Stargate so this is one of

the Rings used on screen in the classic

with James Spader Kurt Russell so it's a

movie prop it's a screen used movie prop

so it's it's safe to say that like

you're a Sci-Fi fan yeah love science

fiction

[Music]

Brandon fugel is a collector

his multiple offices are packed with

movie and television memorabilia

can you guess what this wardrobe yes I

do that is from an unbreakable yep and

most of these are not replicas but

screenshot Originals

this is The Terminator jacket screen

worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger with the

fake blood and the bullet holes these

are the glasses worn by Tom Cruise in

the original Mission Impossible he has

Walter White's gas mask from Breaking

Bad

the monkey head from Indiana Jones

part of baby Superman's spaceship

Fox Mulder's FBI badge from the X-Files

puzzle box from Hellraiser

he has so many items that I could

produce an entire documentary on his

collection alone in these drawers let's

see oh let's see

um whoa will you came to show me an

alien fetus and then close the door yeah

you have a couple of interesting things

in here

he has two drawers full of authentic

movie screenplays this is the final

script for Close Encounters of the Third

Kind Poltergeist Steven Spielberg

written by Steven Spielberg first draft

1981. you get the drift

he also owns an incredible number of

rare antique books

a King James Bible from the year 1611 an

original printing of the works of

Shakespeare from the year 1685. in here

is the first printing of the Christmas

carol 1843 the complete system of magic

1729 this is the history of Stonehenge

that belonged to King Charles II flying

saucers have arrived yeah the book of

the Damned you got ghost stories of an

antiquary yep

he also has an entire shelf of

historical books and documents from the

Mormon church

most of them are over 200 years old

[Music]

I have the Masonic guide belonging to

the first Mormon Bishop

he not only signed it but he signed it

in his Masonic Cipher

behold I am Jesus Christ the son of God

I came unto my own in my own receiveth

me not I am the light with shyness and

darkness and darkness comprehendeth not

I have what I believe to be the Holy

Grail of Mormon history

so Oliver cowdery

who is the principal scribe of the Book

of Mormon

and this is this is his copy is his copy

this is his personal

1837 Kirtland he was the principal

witness claimed to his death that he'd

been visited by Peter James and John

John the Baptist he's the only witness

to the events at the pulpit of the

Kirtland Temple dedicatory service where

he claimed that Moses Elijah and Elias

appeared I think one of the most

valuable pieces of church history I

can't think of anything I would trade

this for and it has 25 pages that bear

his handwriting and his notations

there is one more item in Brandon's

collection and it eventually leads us

directly to Skinwalker Ranch you notice

these strange objects these are not

movie props

these are what we call forced processed

gyroscopic mechanisms

these were constructed

in conjunction with a private

confidential

technology endeavor

testing gravitational physics theories

anti-gravity correct so you had these

constructed to test and experiment with

anti-gravity correct

and what many believe to be the

technology that would potentially

drive or Propel flying saucers

did you achieve anti-gravity we'll get

to that okay Brandon sits me down and

tells me that his path to buying

Skinwalker Ranch started with a phone

call in 1995 from one of his former

Mormon missionary friends and he said

Brandon

you're you're in the business of selling

office bills correct you're in the

commercial real estate business you work

with companies and I said yeah of course

fugo's friend told him he knew a

successful business executive who was

looking for office space and asked if

Brandon could help and I of course

jumped out of my chair I remember I was

so excited and I said absolutely I can

help

so he passed on the number to me he says

well his name is Joe firmage Joe firmage

was a senior vice president at Novell a

software company in the 90s

he's also a direct descendant of Mormon

prophet Brigham Young

in 1995 during the.com bubble he left

Novell to become the founder of U.S web

an interactive website design and

consultancy Company

firmage needed office space for his new

company Brandon fugle a young real

estate broker provided that office space

U.S Webb quickly became very successful

and Joe firmage was the toast of Silicon

Valley

in 1998 fermage appeared on the cover of

Forbes Magazine

deemed one of the Masters of the new

internet Universe also on the cover was

Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon

Joe firmage and his company U.S web were

Rising Stars destined for greatness

and then

at the height of their success when

they're in the midst of merging with a

big Global PR firm agency

he does a story Joe furmidge came out

and said that number one in my spare

time with my resources I have learned

that the UFO phenomena is real

then he proceeds to say in this expose

that he'd been visited by what he

believed to be an alien being and that

uh that he was going to bring the truth

forward and that the physics that the

physics

to enable breakthrough propulsion travel

to the stars and also free energy was

within our grasp

fermage's statements on aliens and UFOs

caused a lot of embarrassment and

controversy for U.S web

he was removed as CEO and eventually

left the company completely to hunt UFOs

and experiment with the technology he

believed an alien had given him

over 10 years later in 2009 Brandon

fugle was standing in his private

airport hangar he was wondering why

there had been no breakthrough Aerospace

Technologies since the invention of the

jet engine in 1937 in the most

fundamental ways that we Propel and even

power our world we're still dealing with

technology that is very old and

antiquated it bothered me and I became

obsessed and then he remembered Joe

firmage I remember Joe firmage in the

fact that he'd done this interview and

had claimed

that he was going to be investing in

physics programs and I thought well you

know maybe he has some insights Fugal

says he contacted firmage and had a

meeting with him

and I'm whisked into a garage

where there are the equivalent of giant

Tinker Toys that looks like spinning

objects mechanical very rudimentary

crude mechanical devices that are that

are being operated and I see an older

bearded

Joe hermage Fugal says firmage claimed

to be on the cusp of inventing Humanity

changing anti-gravity technology that

would allow humans to travel to the

Stars he said I believe that you've been

LED here for a reason right here in my

garage before you you are looking at the

early proof of concept embodiment so the

the experiments showing the physics

underpinning these new advancements

Fugal says he was skeptical but firmage

introduced Fugal to various people who

would back up his claims he puts me on

the phone

with uh

General Wesley Clark

former chairman of the Joint Chiefs

he introduces me to General Clarks as

general Clark I'd like you to meet

Brandon fugle you know he needs to know

that there's that there's reality to

this you know it would you mind telling

him your views and general Clark said

yes I I don't have any problem great to

meet you you know Mr fugle I

I support Mr firmage I've been following

his work closely and there's truth to it

a representative for General Clark told

me that while the general does not

specifically remember this phone

conversation with Fugal he did indeed

know Joe firmage and was in fact

interested in firmage's claims of exotic

technology so I'm I'm Blown Away here I

have former chairman of the Joint Chiefs

head of NATO command

who's confirming that Joe has been

involved with credible activities

confirming that there's some reality

next fermit put Fuego on the phone with

Hal putoff and kit green two scientists

who had previously worked with the CIA

and had a long history of researching

otherworldly topics like UFOs and

psychic powers

they also vouched for Joe firmage

this all happens back to back on the

same day so yeah Wesley Clark how put

off get green so you had a series of

yeah series of phone calls put off in

green had long been involved with

millionaire Robert Bigelow's hunt for

the Paranormal and at the time of this

phone call with Fugal in 2009 they were

both involved in a now Infamous 22

million dollar Pentagon program headed

by Bigelow the program among other

things allegedly investigated strange

phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch which at

the time was owned by Robert Bigelow

fugal's back-to-back phone conversations

with General Clark Hal put off and kit

Green in which they all vouched for Joe

firmage and his Endeavors was enough to

convince fugel it completely

changed my view of reality it

blew my mind

fugle converted his family's private

airport Hangar into a laboratory a

dedicated space where firmage could

experiment and build his world-changing

technology they created a company called

motion sciences and fugle claims he

spent millions of dollars on fermage's

work

[Music]

these 2010 videos on Joe furman's

YouTube page show various tests of his

invention

Fugal appears in a few of them

working with is Advanced propulsion

technology that truly has not been

really

related yet and this patented technology

and physics breakthrough is going to

change the world as we know it

foreign

this video appears to show a celebratory

demonstration of firmages device

a happy looking Fugal stands next to

halput off

but the smiles and celebrations soon

went away Fugal says it soon became

apparent that there was no truth to

firmage's claims within months it became

apparent that Mr furmich had some

serious issues the unfortunate truth was

that there wasn't

any validity to it Fugal and fermage had

a falling out

motion Sciences eventually ceased

operations and closed down

in a statement to me firmage says that

while his invention was showing great

progress its potential was not realized

he claims to have since continued to

work on his device which he now calls

the accelerometer and will reveal it to

the world in 2023

firmages devices from 10 years prior now

sit on the bottom shelf a fugal sci-fi

and fantasy movie collection it was

disappointing and heartbreaking

and trust me to lose that money to lose

years

to have the disappointment of family

I at that point in time I had lost a lot

of faith and trust

in people Fugal says this was a dark

time for him

that he struggled to trust anyone

and even his faith in the Mormon church

was shaken

but this all changed with a phone call

in 2015

late 2015 I received a call from Dr Hal

putoff and Dr Christopher C green kit

green the same two guys just a few years

after the Joe firmage motion Sciences

debacle Fugal says Hal put off and kit

green had a brand new proposition for

him and in the middle of that call both

doctor put off and Dr Green said are you

familiar with a certain piece of

property in Utah known as Skinwalker

Ranch what do you know about Skinwalker

Ranch Fugal says put off and green told

him that the ranch was for sale we'd

like to suggest that you take a meeting

with Mr Bigelow if you're interested

would you be open to it and I said

absolutely fugle flew to Las Vegas to

meet with Robert Bigelow and discuss

purchasing Skinwalker Ranch fugo says

Bigelow would only sell the ranch as is

and that Bigelow would not be sharing

with Fugal any of the research he had

done at the ranch over the last 20 years

I

agreed I said okay fine I'll buy it as

is on April Fool's Day 2016 Brandon

fugle became the official owner of

Skinwalker Ranch

the next morning I met Brandon at his

private airport hangar in Provo Utah

in the hangar were some of his luxury

cars his private jet and his six million

dollar helicopter which he uses to fly

to Skinwalker Ranch

his brother Cameron is the helicopter's

pilot

Sierra believer I'm a believer that

there's something happening out there

that we don't understand and we may

never totally understand it

it's finally time to go

we took off

towards Skinwalker Ranch

we flew over Brigham Young University a

school both Brandon and I once tried to

get into but failed

we Flew Over the Missionary Training

Center where both Brandon and I had once

prepared for our Mormon missions

flew into Rock Canyon where I used to

hike many years ago but I'd never seen

it from this angle before

[Music]

Brandon told me before I could go to

Skinwalker Ranch

there was a whole back story that he

needed to tell me before I could fully

understand the ranch

and now that he had

I think he was right I thought of

something that I hadn't considered

before

these stories about the ranch

the visitors from another place

the evil spirits

voices of the Dead

all of these stories had a new context

maybe all this was part of a bigger

story

Universal story

a tale as they say as old as time

was Skinwalker Ranch just another story

was it just another item in Brandon's

science fiction collection

or was it something else

could some of this despite my skepticism

actually be real

and if so

what was I in for

I was caught up in these thoughts as

Skinwalker Ranch appeared on the horizon

and Brandon announced that we needed to

say a prayer

I'll be asking my brother

do you pray every time you come out here

before you come out here every time

every night every time we're dealing

with forces that

uh not only

and but also

malevolent

the prayer that they offered was very

similar to ones I heard growing up in

the church

[Music]

okay

God Heavenly Father

we're grateful for the opportunity that

we have to come out to skin wander ranch

today we ask for thy protection and help

to avoid any of the negative aspects of

the ranch while we explore the Sciences

associated with it we're grateful for

the opportunity to explore this and to

try to learn more about our planet this

universe and

all that that was created please bless

us this day and to protect the

helicopter from any Harbor danger and

also ourselves and we say these things

in the name of Jesus Christ amen amen

[Applause]

welcome to Skinwalker Ranch the most

scientifically studied paranormal

hotspot on the planet

[Music]
