The JFK assassination, tarot, and spontaneous past-life recall were among the fascinating realms explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a 'mystery hut' spotted on the far side of the moon, a possible Bigfoot filmed in Georgia, and an out-of-place ancient earring unearthed in Denmark. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Tarot cards took center stage on Saturday night's program as metaphysical author Sasha Graham discussed the history and use of the centuries-old divination practice. She explained that the earliest references to tarot date back to the 15th century, when it was considered by the church to be an instrument of evil, though historians actually do not know when or how the deck of 86 fortune-telling cards was first created. Graham indicated that wisdom and intuition guide one's reading of a tarot card spread and stressed that asking direct questions is the best way to obtain the clearest answers from the proverbial ether.
This past week saw a particularly odd image emerge on the far side of the moon by way of a photo, taken by China’s Yutu 2 lunar rover, which shows what the country's space agency described as a 'mystery hut.' The curious cube-shaped object, which is located next to a sizeable crater, was spotted on the horizon by stunned scientists manning the craft. To their credit, the intrigued space agency immediately turned the rover towards the 'house' and it is now en route to investigate the anomaly. While it will take two or three months for the craft to reach the object, one assumes that it will be able to take clearer pictures as it gets closer and, hopefully, shed some light on what the mysterious 'hut' might be.
While connecting with one's past life is very often achieved by way of hypnotic regression, there are some instances wherein people spontaneously recall moments from a previous incarnation here on Earth. Dr. Shelley Kaehr detailed this fascinating phenomenon on Wednesday night's program, indicating that these sudden revelatory moments can occur by way of objects such as gemstones or jewels which have a vibrational resonance that can trigger memories from a past life. She also mused that the value of exploring past lives is not necessarily in learning the specifics of one's former life, but rather it is in recognizing their experiences and applying them to our current incarnation.
A pair of puzzling paranormal videos popped up on our radar this past week beginning with a piece of footage, purportedly filmed by a pilot, showing an eerie set of lights hovering over the South China Sea. Although the witness expressed bewilderment while watching the weird scene unfold, skeptics who have watched the video argue that the UFOs were likely military flares. Meanwhile, Bigfoot enthusiasts had their eyebrows raised over an odd video, said to have been filmed in Georgia earlier this year, in which a large, seemingly bipedal creature can be seen standing up and roaming through a wooded area. Could it have been the legendary Sasquatch or was it simply a person in a suit? We'll let you decide.
The JFK assassination was revisited on Monday night's program as author James DiEugenio talked about Oliver Stone's new documentary which takes another look at the infamous event 30 years after his blockbuster film. The scriptwriter on the project, he detailed how the film features a whopping 30 interviews with an array of different experts who offered insights that refute the lone gunman theory and suggest that Kennedy's death was brought about by a sinister conspiracy. During his appearance, DiEugenio noted numerous suspicious aspects of the case, including problems with the 'magic bullet' theory and a lack of ballistic evidence linking Lee Harvey Oswald to the shooting.
An object from the distant past stunned experts this past week when a metal detectorist in Denmark unearthed a 1,000-year-old golden earring from the Byzantine era that was unlike anything that has ever been found in Scandinavia. The shocking discovery was made by Frants Fugl Vestergaard as he searched a field near the community of Bøvling. His initial surprise at finding the ornate object was compounded when he showed it to experts at the National Museum of Denmark and they marveled at its jaw-dropping rarity. How the golden earring wound up in Denmark is a mystery, though it it theorized that the jewelry may have been a gift given to a Viking bodyguard by the Byzantine emperor.
