Scariest Moments

During Open Lines George provided a special topic line for callers who wanted to share their scariest moments. A caller from California described seeing a glowing red, metallic sphere about the size of a soccer ball gliding towards him while on a camping trip.

Linda from Portland, Oregon recounted the time she and her sister were walking along a trail and encountered "demonic people" dressed black robes. She claims four members of the group chased after them, but they eluded capture and eventually found their way home. After telling their mother, Linda said she went looking for the black-clad cult and could not find them.

Recently freed from a demon named Oscar, Rachel called in to thank Coast listeners for their prayers, which she believes liberated her from the Son of Satan. She said Oscar will always be watching her, but has targeted a radio announcer in Bismarck, North Dakota for his next possession. Curiously, Mike from KFYR-AM in Bismarck also called in to let George know that Oscar calls his station once a week. In a bizarre technical "glitch," Oscar was somehow able to interrupt their discussion several times.
