But before that, let's get to your questions.

Our first comes from Taylor, who writes,

Good evening, Dr. Ryder.

On your show, you cover a wide variety of dangerous entities and phenomena.

Do you have any examples of such which on the surface seem terrifying and threatening but are in fact helpful.

Taylor I believe I have something that meets your criteria.

Quite a few possible examples in fact, but I'll limit my answer on this occasion to just one.

There's a vast cave system beneath the state of Tennessee, over 10,000 caves, many of them

intersecting well below the earth, and walking solemnly through this underground

labyrinth is a creature called the bride of the angel. She is roughly twice as tall as any human. Her skin

ivory-colored, luminescent like a shining pearl.

Her face has no eyes, nose, ears, or mouth, nor her head, any hair.

Nine elongated broken wings trail behind her like a bridal train.

If you would stare at her you would feel a revulsion, be forced to look away.

Most, even those who seek her out, flee in terror upon spying her. But if you were to find her, stay in her presence and

kneel, she'd approach you, place her palm on your forehead, and in turn you'd be overcome

with a feeling of awe unlike anything you've ever experienced. I've heard it described as a white-hot

searing pain of the spirit. For some the feeling might last mere moments, others, hours or days, but once the sensation

burns away, anything that ails you, a bad knee, cancer, any disease, anything, you'll be cured.

That said, few ever find her.

She roams the caves, never staying in one place.

It's estimated hundreds, if not thousands, seek her out yearly.
