Writer and producer Lee Frank discussed his expeditions in search of the Loch Ness monster (Nessie), as well as his investigations into the Bigfoot mystery. Sightings of Nessie date back to 565 AD when a Celtic monk reported seeing the creature. Though a lot of photos of Nessie over the years have turned out to be hoaxes, Frank visited Loch Ness in the 1970s and was impressed by witness testimony. Terrified locals described seeing a creature with a horse-like head, red eyes, and horn-like appendages, he noted. In addition, there's been around 20 land-based sightings, he detailed. For instance, in 1933, a huge beast with a long bulbous body was seen crossing a road. The Loch Ness area has also been home to a lot of supernatural activity such as "corpse lights," said Frank, and cryptozoologists such as Ted Holiday came to believe that Nessie might have a paranormal connection.Frank said he has a hair sample of Bigfoot, which has so far proved to be inconclusive. He suspects that ... More »

Author Mark Nesbitt shared stories of ghosts and apparitions seen in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania which was host to the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, where approximately 50,000 soldiers lost their lives over a 3-day period. Curiously, even before the battle in 1863, a ghostly visitation of George Washington leading an army was seen on the site, he noted.Nesbitt offered several theories as to why Gettysburg is one of the most haunted places in America. Because their deaths were so sudden, many of the soldiers may not have realized they died. Additionally, since they were in the throes of war against their own countrymen they may fear facing "judgment" in crossing over. Thirdly, Gettysburg's geology contains a lot of quartz rock which is thought to capture electricity which could facilitate paranormal occurrences. A lot of the haunting phenomena are auditory rather than visual, said Nesbitt, who described reports where "volleys of gunfire were heard in the woods." EVPs recor ... More »

Nostradamus scholar John Hogue (hogueprophecy) returned to the show as the main guest on Monday night.He discussed his new biography of Nostradamus, which he said attempts to sort out the patchwork of myths and facts about the seer's life. One of Nostradamus quatrains offered a far-flung prediction: In the year 3797, the sun would have "a great conflagration that would devour the Earth," Hogue recounted. Offering his own forecasts for the future, Hogue said he accesses his predictive powers via a Zen-like "effortless effort," which he first developed during voice training while singing Opera. He sees the time period of 2008-2009, as when major upheavals could occur, such as an explosion at Yellowstone and/or a major biochemical attack by terrorists. He also believes that this is a likely time frame for a war between China and Taiwan. On a more positive note, he said by 2015 the next generation of telescopes will be able to see signs of artificial light on neighboring worlds. ... More »

Gulf War Vet advocate Joyce Riley (gulfwarvets.com) appeared in the first half of Friday's show to discuss the mysterious illness affecting the troops in Iraq. She related details in the case of Josh Neusche, a 20-year soldier who died on July 12, 2003 after going on a "hauling" mission at the Baghdad Airport. At first, Riley said that Neusche's parents were told their son had been affected by a toxin, then the explanation was changed to pneumonia. Now with over 50 soldiers falling ill, the Anthrax vaccine is being called the culprit. Riley believes we are not being told the true story, and speculated that the soldiers may have been wearing defective protective suits during a chemical exposure. However, "I think the story is going to be whitewashed and removed from the scene," she said. For more on her investigation, read Riley's press release. ... More »

Joyce Riley (gulfwarvets), an activist on behalf of those with Gulf War Illness, presented a shocking indictment of the US government during the first two hours of Friday night's show. She said that five separate Gulf War vets had told her that US troops were responsible for setting the oil well fires in Kuwait and that it was done to "make it look like the Republican Guard had set the fire." Riley speculated that the reason behind it was a kind of PR tactic to convince the American public that Saddam Hussein and his regime were a terrible evil. She presented a transcript of her interview with one of the accusatory vets. "The explosive I used was C4. It's light weight, it's easy to use...I placed the explosive on the wellhead and the incendiaries near by so that… after the wellhead was damaged, that the incendiary could light the crude oil to fire," he told her. Riley, a loyal American, said she hoped that the reports could be proven wrong, but had no reason to think the sol ... More »

"What we're looking at is a biological weapon," said Joyce Riley (website: gulfwarvets.com) about Gulf War Illness (GWI) in her appearance on Monday night's show. She believes GWI is a communicable disease, with not only spouses and children in families of veterans coming down with symptoms, but their pets as well. Riley, an impassioned speaker, is a nurse who served as a captain in the Gulf War. "We're looking at an astronomical figure," Riley said estimating that as many as 400,000 veterans have some symptoms of GWI. Whether it was our government that was experimenting on the troops with vaccines, or exposure in the Gulf to depleted uranium or biological/chemical weapons, Riley feels "that what is going on in our military is an abomination," because they have not taken responsibility for this devastating illness. "It is treason to abandon them," she exclaimed. Typical symptoms include joint pains, slurred speech, weakness and rashes, but in some cases brain damage and death ha ... More »
