Time slips, the JFK assassination, and possible health dangers from LED lighting were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. Meanwhile, at the C2C website, we told you about the latest development in the Conjuring House ownership saga, a massive release of Amelia Earhart files by the National Archives, and a driveway stolen from outside a home in Tennessee. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Could LED lighting be detrimental to our health? This worrisome scenario was explored on Saturday night's program by Mark Baker, founder of the Soft Lights Foundation. He explained that, unlike traditional forms of illumination, LED lighting produces a digital flicker, emits excess blue and less red or infrared light, and concentrates its output into tight beams. Each of these unique attributes, he argued, differs considerably from the lighting that has been used throughout human history and, in turn, could unknowingly be having an impact on our health. Baker specifically suggested that LED lights could disrupt one's circadian rhythms and neurology, increasing stress and creating an array of ill effects like headaches and nausea.
The mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance was back in the news this past week when the National Archives released a slew of materials concerning the decades-old case. The sizeable document dump came in response to a late-September order from President Trump wherein he called upon his administration to share any and all information concerning the pioneering pilot's doomed flight. While the massive collection of contemporaneous messages, maps, and reports constituted a staggering 4,600 files, the release was met with a collective yawn from Earhart researchers who indicated that the information was already widely available to the public and featured no smoking gun that would point to the aviatrix's ultimate fate.
Time slips took center stage on Monday night's program as metaphysical sci-fi author R.M. Almonte discussed the puzzling phenomenon wherein one seemingly finds themselves in a different reality or era. Suggesting that plasma may play a role in these eerie events, he detailed cases wherein individuals experienced a mysterious mist or fog that preceded a temporal anomaly unfolding. Almonte noted that time travel can be inadvertent, such as a 1901 French incident where a pair of women inexplicably traveled to the era of Marie Antoinette, or intentional, including purported clandestine government efforts, like Project Pegasus. During his appearance, he also talked about the possibility of manipulating time through meditation.
The uncertain fate of two haunted locations made headlines this past week, beginning with the latest twist in the ongoing 'Conjuring House' ownership saga. Once scheduled to go up for auction on Halloween, the property was thrown into limbo when a then-unnamed investor bought the mortgage in mid-October. This week, that individual was revealed to be YouTuber Elton Castee, who could take possession of the home if the current owner agrees to hand over the deed. Otherwise, the much-desired residence will wind up being scheduled for auction again in the near future. Meanwhile, in Texas, a haunted hospital deemed unsafe for the public was temporarily spared demolition following a city council meeting in which officials agreed to table the vote on the matter to a later date.
Ahead of the 62nd anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, Coast to Coast AM commemorated that fateful day with a special program on Thursday night featuring a pair of guests talking about the tragedy. In the first half of the show, investigative reporter Mark Shaw criticized the official investigation that narrowly focused on Lee Harvey Oswald and, in turn, suggested that organized crime figures were far more likely to have been the culprit. In the latter half, author Jerome Corsi continued the discussion, arguing that Kennedy's assassination constituted a coup d’état orchestrated by a broad conspiracy of players with differing motives.
The weirdest story of the week came by way of Tennessee, where a realtor hoping to flip a home found her plan disrupted when someone stole the driveway leading up to the residence. Paige Batten was left scratching her head when she received a call from a prospective buyer who inquired about the missing stretch of concrete. Upon visiting the residence, the realtor was astounded to discover the driveway had inexplicably gone missing, seemingly taken away by some construction vehicles that visited the property the previous day. Baffled by the bizarre turn of events, Batten reported the puzzling incident to police in the hopes that the presumably confused crew responsible for the lost concrete would come forward and rectify the situation.
