It was a rollercoaster of chills and thrills on Friday's Open Lines. There was Ricky calling from his haunted mobile home, where a malevolent ghost had made its presence known, harassing his girlfriend. Meanwhile a young man from Sacramento complained of frightening waking dreams with a sinister red portal appearing in his bedroom mirror.

Martine of San Francisco, intriguingly proposed her theory that angels actually inhabit dogs' bodies. And several psychic vampires called in on the special topic line, one explaining that "it's a necessity," for him to drain other's energy.

Coast virtually turned into Cops, when a police officer named Kevin called in to relate a story of apprehending a hitchhiker who turned out to be bear. But as he was finishing up his tale, he witnessed a man pushing a new gas grill out of a closed home improvement store. He casually called in for back-up in order to arrest the would-be thief, all while giving an on-air commentary. "Ask him if he listens to Coast to Coast!" George suggested, which the officer dutifully did, before he read him his rights.
