• 0:59
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Over the course of my lifetime and beyond, and throughout all the episodes that we have dropped thus far, we've had such a wide variety of guests, of topics, of stories of healings, of stories of healings of negative events happening, trauma, recovery, and all this ties back to mental health, which is one of the key pillar voices for Voices, why we got started as an event several years ago and why we are an organization to this day.
• 2:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's something that's hard to talk about.
• 2:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's very personal in nature and so it's hard.
• 2:13
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's hard to talk, to share, to remember or recant different times in our lives where we've just had a hard time getting through moments, and so thank you for all you do, for helping others, for telling your story story, for sharing your voice, and one of the ways that we kind of subconsciously mentioned as far as a voice, and that is writing, and so individuals a voice, and that is writing, and so individuals maybe good writers are able to tell stories and maybe that's how they outlet and share their voices through writing, whether that's books, whether those are screenplays for movies, tv shows, novels, plays, what have you among others, what have you among others, and so we don't want to ever lose sight of that, that writing is sharing your voice and sharing the voices of others, depending on the writing that you do.
• 4:00
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I know with one of my pamphlets, the mental health one that I have it's called Prescription for a Living.
• 4:12
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That's what actually occurred.
• 4:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: The individual that helped me write that particular piece that was something that they were and they are good at and they excel at is the writing, and, and so she was able to take interviews with me and discussions and put that into written form.
• 4:45
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That flows, and so she was telling my story, so she was sharing my voice, and that is 100% a way of sharing the voice, whether it's yours or somebody else's.
• 5:09
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, so let's hop in to this episode.
• 5:12
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: A lot of us are aware that there was an earthquake I believe it was in a part of Russia that occurred and so that's one of those let's see like an act of God, it's like a natural disaster when there's people being injured and property being damaged, while they may be rare, that when they do happen, they can be devastating to whoever that event occurred.
• 6:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So how does that have anything to do with Voices for Voices?
• 6:25
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, as we announced in our Blockbuster episode number 300, we're working together with mythical creatures around the world, and so what that is?
• 6:52
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's a Facebook group, facebook page that you can join, so I invite you to join it if you haven't and that's where myth or folklore is shared.
• 7:08
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So these are I'm saying short, short stories.
• 7:16
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: They're called folklores, their myths.
• 7:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So we start to say, okay, well, this isn't 100% real.
• 7:30
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Now, in another episode we're going to talk about that because it's an important topic to think about, where we have different events that have been told to us by people who have experienced these events and these folklores, these myths, into that and say and question are we sure they're not real or are we not Because it's been our belief up until now that while they, these myths, these folklores, while there may be some truth to it, that while these myths, these folklores, while there may be some truth to them, could they have more than just a little truth to them?
• 8:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: For instance, if an individual sees something and they document it or they share it with us, or both, then the question is, was what they saw, was that real or wasn't that real?
• 9:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And we just finished up.
• 9:24
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Comic-con is dressing up like your favorite superhero, your favorite character, and so when we start to look at, okay, somebody can hide behind a mask, literally, you know, being dressed up, and so is everybody who is dressed up.
• 10:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Are they?
• 10:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Are they nice people or are they less than nice?
• 10:12
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And what do I mean by that?
• 10:15
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I guess we're going to jump into this episode as well, which is good because it needs to be talked about, it needs to be shared, and we're going to obviously get back to talking about this earthquake around Russia and what TikTok has been on fire with some posts, and so why don't we just get back to that first, and then we'll jump into the Comic-Con, the costumes, folklore and this what we're talking about now, referring back to the earthquake that happened in Russia recently, tiktok has been blowing up, with other people posting some information.
• 11:16
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: This isn't me, this isn't anybody from our team.
• 11:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: These are other people, right?
• 11:26
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So you, if you don't know, you open up TikTok and then you have the option of creating something yourself and posting it, or you can look what others have posted and, and so what we found are the one, two, three, three instances that I don't know if it's able to be.
• 11:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: No, it's not Okay, mr MR.
• 11:59
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Period 42 after this earthquake in Russia, chile is also another country Putting the waters off of Chile after this earthquake.
• 12:44
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: There is a post by Mr 42 titled Mermaids in Chile hashtag mermaid, hashtag mermaids, and the caption reads could this be a group of mermaids in the water?
• 13:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: A group of mermaids in the water.
• 13:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So this isn't my post, this isn't anybody else on our team's post.
• 13:15
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Let me see how we can, because I think it's important for y'all to see if you're watching what I'm talking about.
• 13:22
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So let's go to here and we're going to change the background a little bit.
• 13:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And, yes, those are two ponies, my daughter's, but remember, okay.
• 13:47
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So what I'm going to show you is this TikTok.
• 13:51
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's just a screenshot.
• 13:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It says could this be a group of mermaids in the water?
• 13:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And the person who posted it is under the MR, which is MR, period 42.
• 14:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It says could this be a group of mermaids in the water Trying to get the camera?
• 14:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, let me try this.
• 14:26
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, let me try.
• 14:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Try that.
• 14:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I think we need a little bit of light, right?
• 14:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay?
• 14:40
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So that's the first post.
• 14:45
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: The second one is posted, also on TikTok, under the screen name G-A-N-G-I-O-Y.
• 14:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: This is another photo.
• 15:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then at the top it says OMFP we're not going to say the words on here or the VTF that comes after that, so that's at the top.
• 15:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then at the bottom it says Pod of Mermaids Recorded by a drone.
• 15:24
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm hoping you're able to.
• 15:35
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So, again, this is somebody else, not us, that's posting about this, and the caption is again, we're not going to say the words, but O-M-S-G-W-T-O.
• 15:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Hot of Mermaids recorded by drone.
• 15:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Hashtag mermaid, and TikTok is blowing up on this one.
• 16:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And the third one we're going to show is the screen name News, which is N-E-W-S, then the number 65478, and at the top it says Breaking News earthquake in Russia stirs up mermaids in Chile.
• 16:24
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I know, like with the screen it's a little.
• 16:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Hoping you're able to see it.
• 16:42
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: But even if you're not, I don't think it really I don't think it matters if you're able to see it or not.
• 16:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I mean it's helpful to see it.
• 16:54
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: But you can do that, you know, on your own, so you can check all that out and and see, and there's many more of these.
• 17:07
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You know TikTok videos that are out there and again, they're just, they're just blowing up.
• 17:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I mean, people are liking, sharing, reposting, setting as their favorite, all those things, and so they're talking about mermaids and so it comes back to us Voices for Voices, to us Voices for Voices in conjunction with mythical creatures around the world.
• 17:41
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Facebook group Facebook page Please join.
• 17:48
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's free to join.
• 17:51
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: There's over 95,000 people that are following and friends, so there's quite a following that we have.
• 18:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And one of the areas that we do delve into from time to time on our posts are mermaids and sightings that have been seen or shared or have been passed down through the ages.
• 18:23
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so when we think about this kind of at current state state, we think that mermaids aren't quite 100% real.
• 18:42
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so, yeah, there's, you know, the famous mermaid from movies and that that are out there, but from you know a practical.
• 19:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, we want to believe right, especially when we have children and and a mermaid is a character on a show or in a book, we want to believe a little bit more and that that's real.
• 19:22
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So, moreover, we're at this point now where this earthquake hits Russia and there are sightings, alleged sightings, alleged sightings of a pod, which is a group, a group of mermaids that are swimming in the ocean off the coast of Chile, which is the H-I-L-E so not Chile that you eat Chile the country.
• 19:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then the one so not chili that you eat chili the country.
• 20:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then the one that we saw that was posted, and again the three that I tried to show, whether successfully or unsuccessfully.
• 20:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You can see on TikTok for yourself how many different posts are out there on this topic.
• 20:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And since it connects so closely with mythical creatures around the world who Voices for Voices is proud to partner with, it kind of really leads us into that Comic-Con, roleplay, cosplay, where you bring together either a group of people or individuals but at Comic-Con there's a lot of people, so it's a lot of people and having shared interests of liking different characters from different stories, different myths, and one of those is a mermaid and can't be a mermaid.
• 21:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so the thought is well, okay, well, are they real or are they not real?
• 21:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: What we've seen, again with blown up TikTok, now again with blown up TikTok, now here in August, early August of 2025, are these, these photos, these videos of what, by accounts, look like again a group of mermaids, a pod of mermaids, swimming in the ocean off the coast of Chile that looks like one may be washed up on the shore on a beach in Chile.
• 22:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so we started to wonder go, oh well, are they real?
• 22:12
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Are they not real?
• 22:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Is there a little bit of truth to it?
• 22:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Is there none?
• 22:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: But as we transition into the Comic Con and the costume, the dressing up as a favorite character, favorite superhero, we think of okay, so what we're seeing on TikTok off the coast of Chile or on the beach of Chile, could mermaids be real?
• 22:58
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so it really gives a little bit of food for thought to anybody, whether you're in the business of, like we are and part of what we're doing mythical creatures around the world and sharing folklore from all corners of the globe, all areas, and the mermaid part.
• 23:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It makes us wonder are these myths, these folklores, are they real or are they not.
• 23:45
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Could it actually be somebody that's dressed up as one of these characters with fin-like ears and green or blue skin, and could it be somebody that's dressed up in a costume?
• 24:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That's where we're just bringing this delight, because a lot of times what our friend David Solomon says is he studied into this specialty, into this specialty and he mentioned that there are around some of these sightings.
• 24:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: A lot of times it's maybe a secluded beach, private property you know the sign on the chain of private property, keep out.
• 24:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Or the stories and the myths and the legends get passed down.
• 25:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You don't want to go to this area at night or at a certain time because, allegedly, people may disappear Maybe they have in the past and so it keeps most, if not all, the general public away.
• 25:30
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Because if we hear that, you know what, I don't want to be anywhere near this.
• 25:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's a private property, or I've heard folklore and myths about this area where people disappear, or we have this sighting of this particular person, mermaid.
• 26:02
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Whatever the sighting, is that these sightings are happening and again, these kind of sometimes secluded areas, these private property, you don't want to go because you don't want to be one of the people that disappears, and I wouldn't want to be one of the ones that disappeared either.
• 26:25
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So what that does and what we're setting up is again, this is speculation, but take it for what it's worth.
• 26:41
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: See if it makes any sense to you.
• 26:44
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It makes some sense to me, which is why, why we're covering it, why I didn't.
• 26:49
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: As we started the episode, I got into it, so I don't want to wait to talk about it.
• 26:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We'll talk more in depth with David Solomon on a future episode, because he's able to share a lot more detail than I am.
• 27:09
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm looking at it from the periphery, from how I can process the information, from how I can process the information.
• 27:18
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So okay, so we have these beaches, these secluded areas, these private properties with these signs you know, keep out and we have these sightings in one location or another location, and we hear these stories and myths about people disappear potentially if you go to this area or this beach, either any time of day or a certain time of day, and so people, for the most part, they're like you know what I'm again, I don't want to be anywhere near it.
• 27:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: If there's a chance of any disappearance, I don't want that.
• 27:59
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So I'm not going to go there, and so that's the thought and the feeling of a lot of people.
• 28:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So let's look at things on the other side for a moment, that the sightings of these mermaids, of these individuals with the green skin or blue skin and fin-like ears, and let's just for a moment think, well, what if somebody's dressing up like that?
• 28:38
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And maybe again, maybe allegedly, maybe there are different crimes that are occurring.
• 28:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And if you just think for a moment again we're just thinking through this that if a criminal or a person wants to do some harm, that they're going to do something would number one would being dressed up like and having the makeup as one of these figures.
• 29:28
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Would that be helpful or hurtful to what they're doing?
• 29:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I would argue it would be helpful because if they're dressed up, they have the makeup and they have these different features.
• 29:41
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It it uh takes what they look like normally and turns it into oh why this?
• 29:54
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Something different.
• 29:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And secondly, a criminal person.
• 30:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That's up to no good.
• 30:02
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: They want I don't want to say peace and quiet, but they don't want people to find out.
• 30:19
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Signs, these chains with the signs of no trespassing, private property, private beach, these folklores come out about people disappearing if you go to this area.
• 30:30
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so what better way for a criminal or person that's up to no good to again number one being in some kind of disguised costume and I'll just throw in the clown killer that I was actually a thing.
• 30:56
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Somebody dressed like a clown knocked on the door, door opened up at the house and somebody is not alive now.
• 31:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So that happened a number of years ago, but that person was in a disguise and it was outside of a residence.
• 31:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So is it really too far-fetched to think that somebody could dress up as one of these characters?
• 31:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And they do these, you know, despicable criminal acts and actions in these private areas, a private beach, a private property, because it would be a little bit tougher for people to find out what's actually going on if it's private property, a secluded beach, and there's stories and myths and legends that are told about these areas.
• 32:09
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So that's how we tie in the earthquake in Russia, the potential sightings of real mermaids off the coast of Chile and on the beach of Chile to other areas that are secluded.
• 32:33
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Have no trespassing private property.
• 32:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Keep off, keep off.
• 32:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And people may have seen something in the past of.
• 32:45
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, I saw this figure and this is what it looked like, and was there any sound?
• 32:51
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: What were the features of that?
• 32:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so you put all that together, you put the disguise, the costume, you put given the room, which means you're given the space, the private property, the you know, do not trespass sign, and 99 percent of people, I'm just guessing aren't to go past there and go.
• 33:20
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, okay, this is as far as I can go.
• 33:22
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So I'm going to turn around and go the opposite direction, same thing being, if I've heard story after story or myth after myth, folklore after folklore about a certain area where people disappear, where different sightings and different figures with different characteristics are seen, that's also going to turn people away.
• 33:49
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That's too spooky for me.
• 33:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Again, I'm not going there.
• 33:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: But when we again, as I did, we looked at it from the opposite side of a criminal.
• 34:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: They're no good, they don't want people to find out.
• 34:09
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So what better way is to have private space, private area, to spread different folklore and myths about certain areas and people disappearing, folklore than this about certain areas and people disappearing in in their dress stuff and like some of these, these, these characters.
• 34:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so it's really something to think about and it really ties it together with this.
• 34:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It just sort of created off of in Russia, off the coast of Chile with what I mean TikTok.
• 34:48
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It's just gone nuts with these potential't our posts.
• 34:58
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: These aren't our pictures or video.
• 35:02
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: These are users from around the world that posted.
• 35:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That's why I thought it was important to share not only the picture screen shots but also the screen names, just to show that it's not ours, that it's others, show that it's not ours, that it's others.
• 35:23
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so, while we show three, there's a lot more than three that come up.
• 35:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: If you haven't seen already, if you haven't been on TikTok, I think you can browse publicly without having a profile, and so you can browse publicly without having a profile, and so you can check that out, or you can just type it into your search engine.
• 35:49
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, alleged mermaid sightings and waters off of Chile after Russia earthquake, something like that, russia Earthquake, something like that, and you'll find some of these posts.
• 36:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You'll find a lot of them actually, and that's why we're doing this.
• 36:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And it's tied again directly to what we've been sharing, and so we're just going to finish out this episode looking at Comic-Con, san Diego and really any Comic-Con we've been sharing, and so we're just going to finish out this episode looking at Comic-Con San Diego, really any Comic-Con, really any conference, really any type of party.
• 36:28
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You know Halloween here in the United States, dressing up, and you know the adults sometimes get into the dressing up and the costumes maybe the same or a little more than what the kids do.
• 36:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, we're looking at it from the, we're taking an appearance, right?
• 36:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So let's say, look me in the eye if you're watching, if you're listening, just imagine.
• 37:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So you've seen me, you've seen pictures of me, you've seen videos of me, voices for voices, again, over 300 episodes.
• 37:15
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So we're rocking and rolling and other speaking engagements and other events like that.
• 37:25
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So take what you remember or what you see right now on the screen and then put different disguises.
• 37:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We can do this usually by putting different filters.
• 37:42
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We can put like I don't have for the life of me, I can't grow facial hair a whole lot and when I do it just looks all scraggly.
• 37:52
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: But you can put a filter that looks like you have a beard, you have lipstick on if you don't, and all these different things.
• 38:02
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And while they're, you know they're cute, funny, yeah, as we do them, they mask what the person really does look like.
• 38:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so at an event like Comic-Con in San Diego and there's many other events quite like it, very much the same.
• 38:25
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: This just happens to be one of the most recent ones, and so that's why I'm mentioning that.
• 38:33
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And we had the district attorney from San Diego County, which includes the city of San Diego, summer Steffen, on our show, which, again, that episode I think it was 296.
• 38:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I really highly recommend watching, or listening or both, to that episode.
• 38:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I learned so much.
• 38:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And she is again.
• 39:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: She's trying to help people.
• 39:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: She's trying to go after people that are abusing trafficking, human trafficking, labor trafficking, sexual trafficking, whatever, whatever she's using.
• 39:19
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: She used Comic-Con in San Diego in her backyard as a spot to say you know, this activity of trafficking is happening.
• 39:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And she went over some of the stats of last year and that there was a sting operation and what had occurred.
• 39:38
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And I'm not sure if there was something similar this year.
• 39:42
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: I mean, we'll find out, I guess when we find out.
• 39:45
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We didn't talk about that, it wasn't appropriate, it wasn't really any of my business to ask.
• 39:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And again, these types of operations they're secret for a reason.
• 40:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so you have all these people.
• 40:02
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: They're dressed up, you know, with masks, with um, you know, just think of like you're the mascot of your favorite college, university school sports team, uh, and have that person in that outfit let's say it's a bear suit, right?
• 40:26
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So you can't see their face, you can't see their arms or legs, you can't.
• 40:30
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You just feel like, oh, there's a brown bear, there's a black bear, a grizzly bear, a polar bear, and so you don't know who it really is, and you know, until they take that off.
• 40:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so if somebody wants to do that thing that's, that's a potential way is to be dressed up like somebody.
• 40:54
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: They're not.
• 40:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So they say, oh, it was, was Superman that took me, yeah, and it's not until you know the disguise, the costumes off, the makeup off, till you see who that person actually really is.
• 41:12
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So all this really ties together nicely in this episode.
• 41:15
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And so we just want to number one we want to be aware that costumes mask the appearance of anybody and they could be up to no good to their benefit.
• 41:33
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Because again, people are going to be like, well, I don't know, there was someone dressed up like Superman, superwoman, a polar bear, and then all of a sudden, like magic, somebody disappears.
• 41:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then you think about what I just said, about these myths and these folklores about secluded beaches, secluded areas, private areas, private properties and people stay away and they hear stories and so people stay away, and then you have these myths, these folklores that have been seen, been handed down through the years.
• 42:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And could any of these people who are up to no good, who aren't very nice, could they be the ones that are dressed up like these characters that have been reported in these folklores?
• 42:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Again, what better way to get away, to not be caught, not to have anybody on your trail, is to have again that open space where you know nobody's going to be there because of private property, because, again, there's myths and folklores that people disappear if they go here at a certain time.
• 43:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And you add all that together and you put, okay, a person could be in costume, they're given room and space because people get general public amount usually going to go past that, that sign, that chain sometimes, if it's a road, private property, keep off, keep away.
• 43:29
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: It could be a chain blocking the road and then a sign that says keep all property.
• 43:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And you put all that together and we think about what I just said earlier about how there was a murderer that was dressed up like a clown and I believe it was broad daylight either, knocked on the door rang, the doorbell door opens and either the person that opened the door or somebody within that residence, their life was taken by this individual who was dressed up in costume like a clown.
• 44:16
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So all this, from the earthquake and in Russia, the mermaids, all the coast of Chile to secluded areas, miss folklore, people seeing figure these people be dressing up and could they be on this private property and doing some not nice thing to people?
• 44:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then we think about Comic Con and people are dressed up like their favorite character and voila.
• 44:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You have a few things.
• 45:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You have some kind of circumstantial evidence, you know, kind of coming together that at the very least shows that if these occur, then, yeah, this could really be happening in one way or another, one extreme or another, or I don't know.
• 45:29
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: All I know is we're bringing information.
• 45:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: This deals with the public, so it's definitely a public safety concern.
• 45:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: When people are disappearing and people are using things to their advantage, like a private property sign, and they have so much space where nobody's going to look, nobody's going to go forward, people see characters with the thin ears and blue skin and what have you?
• 46:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Could those be people up to no good?
• 46:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And then we take it to Comic-Con in San Diego, anything that doesn't even have to be Comic-Con, because, as an individual, to dress like a clown was not at Comic-Con.
• 46:25
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: They were not there.
• 46:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: There wasn't a Comic-Con, this was a house and it was not Comic-Con.
• 46:35
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: And we talk about October here in the United States with Halloween and dressing up, where I remember growing up and it was a time where and it still can be I just haven't dressed up over the last several years, but it's a time where you can be that person or that character for that night and people may know it's you and people may not know it's you.
• 47:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So a lot to think about Mermaid costume, private property, secluded beaches, poverty, secluded beaches, sightings, comic-con costumes, human trafficking, other nefarious activity.
• 47:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We're just sharing information and we think it's in the best interest of not just our community but your community as well, and not only here in the United States but across the world, because there's folklore across the world and so that's something that doesn't change from country to country.
• 48:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Just about everywhere has some folklore tied to it.
• 48:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So thank you for joining us on this action information show, informational show, public safety.
• 48:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: Again, we're not against dressing up for Halloween, against going to Comic-Con, san Diego or anywhere else.
• 48:34
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: That's not what this is about.
• 48:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: This isn't about that.
• 48:38
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: What we're trying to do is we're trying to see the information and we don't have that food for thought to think, and we want to be right.
• 48:48
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: If we see something, we say something.
• 48:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We want to be alert and so that's why we're.
• 48:54
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: You know, we tie these things together.
• 48:56
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: We tie this event, this earthquake act of God, and then we link it all the way up to Comic-Con and the clown, the person dressed up as a clown that murdered somebody.
• 49:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ, Justin Alan Hayes: So, thank you very much.
• 49:24
