She would much rather be an archeologist exploring the ancient ruins of Israel and Egypt. “I feel like there’s stuff literally buried there and buried where the Maya were,” she says. Ancient aliens who gave rise to ancient civilizations on earth. “I would like to uncover the secrets of the universe. In my fantasy.”

And soon she is off, no longer stuck on this couch in this basement afraid of everything outside.

“I believe in all of this stuff. I believe in all of it….

“I like believing. I believe in all of these Irish myths, like leprechauns. Not the pot of gold, not the Lucky Charms leprechauns. But maybe was there something in the traditional sense? I believe that this stuff came from somewhere other than people’s imaginations….

“We should all believe in leprechauns. I’m a believer….

“You and I are humans, this is not all of it. This cannot be, because we are so disappointing….

“Films don’t hold the answers I’m looking for….

“Would you not be so much more interested in finding out that bigfoot existed than in watching a really good movie? …

“I believe in aliens….

“I am childlike in my spirit, and I want to believe in fairy tales.. .

“Loch Ness monster — there’s something to it….

“There’s the Bell Witch…

“What distracts me from my reality is bigfoot. They are my celebrities.”

Seriously? Should we be worried???
