0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Blurri Photos, I'm your host, David Flora.
0:18.2	On this episode we welcome back author Travis Watson, who returns to the show to talk about
0:22.5	his new book, Canadian Monsters and Mysteries, an exploration of high strangeness in the
0:27.9	Great White North. Here is my interview with Travis Watson. Enjoy.
0:32.8	We welcome back. Travis Watson author of Canadian Monsters and Mysteries. Travis, welcome back.
0:45.6	You are dangerously close to getting yourself a free iced coffee for how many times you've

1:00.3	Well, let's pay it all for you, man. This is the latest from you. Tell me a little bit about

2:20.2	discovered, as with mysteries in the mist, when I thought, gee, I wonder if fog and clouds
2:26.4	and stuff appear in the paranormal a lot. Once I went down the rabbit hole, I was like,
2:31.6	oh, my goodness. There's so much stuff that I literally had to cut large chunks of things
