Recent interview Bledsoe says that almost every single person who contacts him says they suffered some sort of major disaster or loss before paranormal stuff started happening.
In a span of three years I lost my wife, home, business, and was told I was likely going to die.

He also says that researchers say the vast majority of experiencers come from two bloodlines: Cherokee, and Scottish. He mentions Cherokees speaking Yiddish, which is never heard before. Didn’t find much to support that, but there has been a lot of research into DNA. 1/

On this website they say that it can be traced back to a handful of haplogroups from the Middle East. Curiously, my haplogroup is J-P58, one of the groups they mentioned and one that 23andMe says is “extremely rare.”

23andMe used to say I was part Ashkenazi Jew, now they just say it’s unknown. I do have a number of middle eastern blood relatives according to ancestry sites. I am not Cherokee, but we appear to have a common ancestor, and it’s possible this group is targeted by phenomenon. 3/3

Oh how funny, as it turns out I’m part of the Jewish “priestly” caste: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-chromosomal_Aaron

“Modern Kohanim are regarded in Judaism as male descendants of biblical Aaron, a direct patrilineal descendant of Abraham, according to the lineage recorded in the Hebrew Bible.”

This only gets weirder and weirder! This is the priestly symbol of the Jewish Kohanim. Another triangle!
