Imagine you're sitting in a diner studying for an important college exam. A bohemian looking stranger comes into the diner and sits down near you only to engage in a conversation you don't really want. Somehow, you find yourself being drawn into his words. There's something odd, yet strangely attractive about the man's presence. He offers you a reward in the form of a rare gift in return for buying him breakfast. What would you do? Most people would likely walk away. Nevertheless, the woman can't seem to help herself. Would you do as she did and drive off to some unknown forest with a stranger who offers you the promise of seeing something incredible?

What We’ll Discuss:

• The Setup: A young college student, preoccupied with the stress of an upcoming exam, finds herself in an unassuming diner late at night. Enter the stranger—a bohemian man with a peculiar charm and an offer that feels impossible to resist.

• The Stranger’s Offer: Breakfast in exchange for a mysterious reward. Sounds harmless enough, but there’s something unnervingly captivating about his presence and his words.

• The Decision: Against all logic, she agrees to follow the stranger into the unknown, venturing into a secluded forest. What she finds there defies her wildest expectations—and raises more questions than it answers.

• The Theories: Paul and Michelle dive into the possible explanations for this surreal encounter. Could he have been:

• A time traveler?

• A mystical being?

• A manipulative con artist?

• Or something beyond human understanding?
