Chemtrails, haunted locations, and the minds of murderers were among the riveting realms explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a trio of remarkable creatures witnessed in the wild, a man who was busted for trying to cook a chicken in the hot springs at Yellowstone Park, and a doctor in India that wound up paying big bucks for what he was led to believe was a magical lamp. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
In celebration of Halloween on Saturday night, Ian Punnett spoke to a pair of guests with appropriately spooky subjects to discuss. First, ghost and poltergeist phenomena researcher Randy Liebeck talked about his work investigating haunted locations and looking for detectable environmental anomalies that would suggest something beyond the bounds of the physical realm may be influencing the site. Later in the program, Richard Estep detailed the infamous and particularly gruesome 1922 slaying of six people in a Missouri home which came to be known as the Villisca Axe Murder House. In addition to recounting the case itself, he also shared accounts of unsettling paranormal activity reported in the residence during modern times.
The wonders of the animal kingdom were on full display this week by way of three stories featuring some truly unique creatures which call our planet home. Off the coast of Australia, scientists captured the first-ever footage of a bizarre-looking deep-sea denizen known as a ram's horn squid. Over in Madagascar, researchers in search of lost species of animals stumbled upon a breathtaking chameleon that has not been observed in the wild for over a century. And, in India, an amateur wildlife photographer snapped some remarkable images of an incredibly rare black tiger which, by virtue of a genetic condition known as pseudo-melanism wherein the creature's black stripes are so pronounced that they obscure its orange fur.
Chemtrails took center stage on Wednesday night's program as Matthew Landman detailed his research into what he believes to be a clandestine geoengineering program orchestrated by the proverbial 'powers that be.' He asserted that the practice of spraying exotic chemical cocktails in the skies above us is a secret effort by the New World Order to combat climate change and lamented that it has inadvertently caused droughts and other adverse weather conditions. During his appearance, Landman also cautioned about potential toxins that may be contained in a coronavirus vaccine as well as how 5G could impact people by way of EMF radiation.
This past week presented us with a pair of strange stories that simply left us scratching our heads and asking, "what were they thinking?" First, a state trooper in Wisconsin stopped a motorist who was barreling down the highway with a snowmobile strapped sideways to the roof of their car. Although the man behind the wheel insisted that his jaw-dropping hauling operation was secure, authorities quickly put an end to the dual-vehicle trip upon pulling him over. Meanwhile, at Yellowstone National Park, a ranger caught a visitor who was trying to cook a chicken in the site's famed thermal spring. The ill-advised culinary technique earned the would-be chef a two-year ban from the park and a $1,200 fine.
A forensic psychologist who evaluates violent criminals at California's only supermax facility, Pelican Bay State Prison, Ellery Kane shared insights from her remarkable occupation on Thursday night's program. She revealed that most of the murderers she has worked with on the job committed their crimes impulsively rather than in a premeditated fashion or in a manner akin to a serial killer. Reflecting on formerly violent inmates being granted parole, Kane indicated that such a scenario is difficult for most prisoners, but those who are released have a very low recidivism rate. During her appearance, she also talked about the safety measures that are in place for when she has one-on-one meetings with potentially dangerous inmates.
Easily the weirdest story of the week occurred in India where con artists managed to trick a doctor into buying what they described as a magical wish-granting lamp for a whopping $41,600. The months-long scheme saw two men impersonate the sons of an ailing woman and slowly convince the victim of the caper that they literally possessed Aladdin's famed lamp. So committed to the caper were the con artists that one of them actually dressed up as the legendary genie in order to prove to the doctor that their story was true. Eventually, their story fell apart when he provided the sizeable down payment on the lamp and grew suspicious when they refused to let him take possession of the 'magical' item.
