Bed Bugs

Inspired by the recent liberation of "the cricket," George opened a special hotline devoted to people with strange insect stories. A caller from Texas described seeing a tarantula on her bathroom floor. She initially thought the spider was one of her cat's rubber toys... until it began moving.

Another caller said he and his wife purchased a home and designated one of the bedrooms for their deceased daughter. According to him, hundreds of ladybugs would gather in the daughter's room and, even after removing them, they returned two days later.

Emily from Pensacola recounted the time she had a premonition involving a cockroach while watching TV with a friend. As soon as the vision ended, a roach crawled out from underneath the couch and walked across the living room floor. Emily believes she had a brief psychic connection with the bug.

Letting Off Some Steam

Mount St. Helens erupted Friday afternoon, spewing a large cloud of ash and steam 16,000 feet into the sky. The event, which lasted for about 20 minutes, forced one airline to cancel flights and others to divert around the turbulent plume. The eruption rose from the southern edge of the 1,000-foot-tall lava dome in the volcano's crater. Following the initial eruption, the volcano appeared to die down and the ash and steam cloud drifted away. U.S. Geological Survey scientist Jeff Wynn called the eruption a "throat-clearing" and cautioned, "we'll see more events like this." Read more here.
