    Haeckelfish rocks

    I stumbled across the why files on YouTube one day and was hooked,as a UK fan it's interesting to learn about US paranormal events and they cover events around the world, AJ dry and non patronising interest in the topics from UFOs to timeslips,and what can you say about haeckelfish a tin foil hat wearing guppy obsessed with lizard people and then more Lizard people and a deep mistrust of the press and the media , together they make a great double act sometimes it's hard to work out who is the the straight guy and who the fall guy (or fish) .I would recommend this YouTube channel that never lets you down.

    AJ & Mr. Moriarity ROCKS!!!

    Definitely one of the must see channel for those interested on something beyond..one of the best researchers ive come across maintaining the lines of facts and fiction between the line..also a good combo of presenter with humour added with a pinch of sarcasm..definitely worth our spent time (considering that is the most valueble assets owned by an individual yesterday, today or tomorow - or is that really so?? Perhaps the answer lies out there within the channel😊) lol..anyways its all about perceptions ryt and as per mine guess its all worth it😁😁

    though i too wonder..who r you Mr. Moriarity??πŸ€”πŸ˜

    Must see

    I very recently discovered this YouTube show while looking for something easy to pass a little time and now I'm hooked.

    AJ has a gift for story telling which keeps you engaged and entertained while he presents the various myths, legends, conspiracies etc. The well placed humour keeps each episode light and fun, even when talking about quite dark subject matter. AJ then debunks or rationalises each story with respect and in such a way that the viewer feels like they've learned something without ever feeling silly and without defaming anyone's character.

    The production itself is great, it creates that sense of having someone in the room with you and talking with you but at the same time, feels like something that wouldn't be out of place on mainstream TV with a great musical score and good use of video and photo evidence.

    An absolute must see for anyone enthusiastic about UFOs, aliens, the paranormal or conspiracy theories.

    Professional done and so much fun

    I love this show, and what it does. The episodes are very well done and informative. Andrew and heckle fish are great together and keeps everything funny but yet filled with information. This show should be on Discovery or the history channel or Nat Geo. The topics of these show cover everything from time travel to underground cities and aliens. He takes all the information of the story and lays it out so at the end they can either debunk stuff or not or just leave it open for your interpretation. They have fun while they inform us and these stories. Heckler fish is the comic relief that makes the show so much fun.

    Fun. Facts. Comedy. Serious.

    AJ ... Bravo good sir. You or your team do a lot of research into the subjects you cover. Thank You.

    Hecklefish ... Keep up the good fight.

    Ok. I enjoyed the episodes I've watched so far. Very well delivered stories keep you listening for more information. The interaction between AJ & Hecklefish is entertaining too. AJ being the straight man and skeptical storyteller and Hecklefish being the true believer theorist type.

    So .. the videos kept me engaged and entertained. So that is great indeed. Sometimes I just want more and more information though.

    Moon Landing ??

    Hollow Moon ??

    Mel's Bottomless Pit ??

    More stories please.
