## Resource

Jose joins the show to share a chilling account of what his parents witnessed near the U.S.–Mexico border in the summer of 2008. While driving through a storage facility late at night, both of them watched a hairless, upright dog-like creature walk calmly across their path and look directly at them before disappearing into a nearby preserve. The encounter left them shaken, confused, and searching for explanations that never quite fit. The conversation also explores a larger pattern of strange activity surrounding Jose’s family, including moving furniture, unexplained noises, shadow figures, and repeated sightings of lights and other unexplained phenomena over the years. Together, these experiences raise unsettling questions about why some people seem to attract high strangeness and why these events often cluster around the same places and time periods.
