The Basement: Joshua Cutchin | Fairies, Bigfoot, and the Connection Nobody Saw Coming

Josh Cutchin is a researcher, author, and musician whose work occupies a rare space between rigorous scholarship and genuine open-mindedness.Over eight books he has built a unified argument that Bigfoot, fairies, UFOs, near death experiences, and ghosts are not separate phenomena but facets of the same ancient, shape-shifting presence.

His 2022 masterwork Ecology of Souls is considered by peers to be among the most important books in ufology in decades, and was included in Rice University’s curriculum for first year PhD students in religion. His footnotes are legendary. His thinking is genuinely original.

A trained tuba player who studied under Canadian Brass legend Fred Mills, Josh brings the same obsessive attention to detail to paranormal research that he once applied to music. And his central argument — that everything weird points back to the same door — is impossible to dismiss.

  1. Bigfoot could be another branch of our evolutionary tree who knows I WANT IT TO BE REAL but that’s just my opinion don’t make it right or real it really would be cool and if so Bigfoot has rights if he’s real let him live his life back off and let him breathe but I’m weird

  2. This guy's interesting but the way he talks is so pompous I just can't get past it I meant I guess I should maybe read his work or something because he talks like a politician 2 hours to say nothing

  3. The only real substantive piece of fiction I've ever written was a feature film screenplay and absolutely the characters started doing their own thing once it got going. It was weird but natural at the same time.

  4. I met Bigfoot in Willow Creek, California. I was stopping for gas and heading West to Eureka. A man walked up to me smiling and asked if I could give him a ride east, about 3 to 5 miles. He asked if I knew about the location, there was a restaurant. I told him I could not. He asked one more time if I could and I said sorry, I can not. He left it at two requests, which was admirable because some hitchhikers or homeless people will not take no for an answer. The man was black skinned and dressed in African garb, green/yellow/red one-piece gown outfit. He had one eye, the other was scarred and cloudy, when I noticed his blind eye I instantly thought of Odin. The man was tall and felt wise, he looked like an ascetic, had Buddhist vibes. There was a strangeness to him, alluring in a sense; I really wanted to give him a ride but I draw lines when I am travelling and I do not cross them.

    So, I start to head west. It was close to sundown. I reach the rest stop just west of Willow Creek and stop there to see if I could find a feral cat and give it some food (I had been there a couple weeks ago). I could not find the cat so I headed back to the highway. My mind must have been focused on something else because instead of turning left to go west, I turned right to go east. I kept driving east without realizing it. I drove all the way through Willow Creek (which is maybe 1 mile long) without even realizing it. My mind was not registering anything familiar even though I had just driven through about 20 minutes prior. I finally realized I was driving east when I saw the location that the man had asked me to take him to.

    In that moment I truly felt that I had come across a trickster spirit, and it was an overwhelming feeling that it was The Man of the Forest. I felt like he was not condemning me for not giving him a ride, but he was kind of just poking me and saying "This is my forest, if you do not want to assist me that is fine, but you will leave when I want you to. Also, isn't it funny that you still drove to where I wanted you to go?"

    Nobody can ever convince me that the entire thing was not spiritual in nature. It could have been a different trickster spirit. But, I just had an overwhelming feeling that it was Bigfoot appearing as a Human.

  5. of fairies hang around cemeteries, new Hampshire should be full of em. there's so many very old cemeteries here.Does this mean New Hampshire has more magic? Maybe the fairies can help bring done the housing prices here.

  6. I've always found it hilarious,how at odds UFO Researchers and Bigfoot Researchers are..😆
    They are all about a witness telling their story of the Sasquatch they saw last week,but once it ran to the woodline,and the odd lights started appearing,before the UFO flew over..that's it,it's done 😏 they are no longer taken seriously!!
    Contrary to that,if a witness sees a UFO in their feild,a light comes to the ground,then a Bigfoot is standing there..the Researchers just put their pen down,and hang up the phone 😂

    I don't get them..🤔
    Sasquatch is,very often,sighted with strange balls of light,or even turning into balls of light. A person will see a Bigfoot,then within minutes,also see a craft,some sort of UFO 🛸

  7. Thank you this was a real conversation and I've been let's say touched by the trickster since birth. Joshua is such a nice person I can feel the warmth of his intentions through video. And AJ thank you for this. You have saved my life for a few more days

  8. Have you read "The hum and the Shiver"? Great series Goes back to our Appalachain roots. We have Fairies in our roots too. Coming from the Irish and the Scottish. I'd love to hear you read that and cover it

  9. Let's stop and take a moment to appreciate just how good an interviewer AJ is. He knows so much of the material the guest has worked on and it shows in the questions he asks them.

  10. AJ, long time fan, first time commenter. @JoshuaCutchin , by far, is my favorite guest. Love the work, sir! You do Art Bell and all those we love and respect great honor.

  11. Awesome good book recommendation: The Japan UFO Files, The Varginha ET Case, and The Disclosure Game by R Walker, available on amazon. If even part of Japan’s hidden cases or the Varginha story is true, The Disclosure Game becomes even more interesting 😮😊 as a look at how disclosure may be managed.

  12. I think humans have a collective memory of the times when your next meal wasn't a guarantee I'm talking about the time before farming. We all need food.

  13. I really enjoyed the new Why Files with Joshua Cutchin. his idea that Bigfoot, fairies, and UFOs are all connected through some kind of trickster phenomenon tied to consciousness and the afterlife is pretty compelling.

  14. Fantastic conversation, really enjoyed this. Thank you for introducing me to Joshua and his work, I'll check it out for sure. So much of what he said resonated. He's a knowledgeable, humble, humorous guy and a pleasure to listen to.

  15. Interesting is the eating of food, in my culture through ancient sorcery when a killer called a 'Dambun' targets a person to kill they slowly invade his body to eat from the inside out, after the person dies and buried the 'Dambun' he must go to where the body is to eat the last bit of flesh, but this is the only place the 'Dambun' could be caught by another sorcerer if they know that the person had died through sorcery. Also our ancestors when they hunt and kill either a great warrior or sorcerer they will eat a portion of the liver or heart to take that person's skill & soul.

  16. Best shows and podcast and the best way to have time on the internet is 👏 💖🤙🦈🍄🛸👽🤖👺🤡☯️✊

  17. Too bad John Keel isn't around anymore. He was the first to propose that all paranormal phenomenon are really all varying manifestations of the same reality.

  18. Really good episode. The guest mentioned he was waiting for his kids to speak about past lives. My kid is now 9, but when he was 2 and 3 he spoke of a past life and it was weird. Language beyond his years and topics that were way too specific. He also spoke of going up like a bubble of light and coming back again. Smells is another thing. I lived in a house and occasionally, I swear I could smell a pipe, honey tobacco or something.

  19. WTF is this guy talking about? Name ONE abductee story that involves food? I've heard of HUNDREDS of cases, and the closest any of them come to food was a single farmer who claimed he made terrible buckwheat pancakes with some small human-looking creatures. This guy should stick to his Tuba playing, as he doesn't know JACK about UFO stories. Food never comes up because they are usually far too short to have anyone worry about being hungry.

    Where does AJ find these morons from?

  20. around 1:35:11 while I do still go against the reincarnation thing… The Holy Trinity made us all as Angels since in my studies The Lord knew us before being born so we're actually all angels turned human ever since, NOW some may ask how we don't recall Yahweh and need proof, WELL there's an answer to that as the fallen one that hath gone against our creator started evil and thus he would get other fallen or the demons that are the aftermath of the killed nephilim to impact our very memory before even being able to use vocal language.

  21. 15:07 With the whole rock behind the tire, It could have been a local or a mountain man seeing your vehicle parked on/near an incline. Chocking tires is pretty common, lots of southerners will do stuff like that for you. "Ole buddies car could roll down the hill if his parking pin gives out, I'll just go ahead and chock his tire with a rock to take some pressure off." They'd just do it, and wouldn't necessarily tell you. Two reasons, either they didn't want to disturb you, or they were watching you. Blue Ridge has some good Ole boys that will look out for you, but it also has some deliverance remnants, you'd never know they were there either. High probability it was just a local trying to be nice.

  22. lol my moms catholic and dad was episcopal. We talked all about supernatural stuff but friends of the family were very progressive and they thought it was childish and nonsensical.
