Conversations with the 'other side,' the UFO phenomenon, and encounters with Sasquatch were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a ghostly arm filmed by a baby monitor, a pair of villages plagued by perceived dark forces, and a Russian security guard who tried to eat an art piece. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
UFOs were once again in the spotlight this past week on Coast to Coast AM as, on Wednesday night's program, longtime UFO researcher Glenn Steckling put forward what he believes to be the answers to some of the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic phenomenon. He lamented that Hollywood films and pop culture have led many to think that aliens are sinister in nature, though he argued that this is not the case. He also asserted that there was a 1954 meeting between President Eisenhower and a contingent of ETs who offered to provide technology if the United States stopped its nuclear testing, but the deal was rebuffed. During his appearance, Steckling also talked about the tremendous size and fantastic capabilities of alien craft.
A pair of peculiar stories involving villages that were seemingly plagued by some kind of sinister supernatural spirit popped up in the news this past week. First, in India, panic gripped the community of Kandrakota after the remnants of a mysterious ritual were discovered and a resident subsequently spotted an eerie black figure that leaped from a tree before vanishing into the night. The spooky sighting led to people taking up arms and patrolling the streets while police did their best to quell the growing hysteria. Meanwhile, in Thailand, a staggering series of 15 mysterious deaths since the start of the year led a village to revive a set of strict traditional rules that had long been thought to protect the community, but had often gone ignored in recent years.
Fascinating insights from the 'other side' were revealed on Thursday night's program as spiritual author Rainey Highley recounted conversations she has had with her now-deceased mother. She explained that the communication came about as a result of a pact the pair had made before her mother's passing wherein she promised to 'return' to tell her daughter what the experience was like. Shortly after her mother's death, Highely began hearing her mom's voice and she described how the journey was rather pleasant. She subsequently spent several hours detailing life on the 'other side,' how there is no actual Hell, and that souls are given the opportunity to reincarnate, though they are not told what that incarnation will turn out to be.
This past week featured two particularly eerie videos that showed possible paranormal activity. In England, a father was taken aback when he checked his son's baby monitor and saw what appeared to be a ghostly arm manifest out of thin air and reach into the youngster's crib. Although uncertain as to what the anomaly was, he expressed hope that it might be his late mother checking on her grandson from the 'other side.' Later in the week, attentive TV viewers watching coverage of a devastating wildfire in Chile spotted an unsettling figure that seemingly emerged out of the flames.
Sasquatch took center stage on Sunday night's program as Keith Bearden shared his experiences interacting with Bigfoot on his hunting property. Indicating that the cohabitation first came to light around 20 years ago by way of weird events and sounds on the land, he said that he eventually came to realize that the odd happenings were, in fact, the legendary elusive cryptid. By building trust with the creature, he was able to eventually get a close look at a Sasquatch, which he described as being around 10 feet tall with dark blonde hair. Bearden also claimed to have received a 'telepathic download' from Bigfoot wherein the creature explained that they are guardians of the land.
By far the weirdest story of the week came by way of Russia, where a security guard at an art exhibition was fired for inexplicably trying to eat one of the pieces. The weird incident unfolded when the unnamed man caught sight of a work, titled 'Escape of the Goldfish,' that featured a depiction of the animal making a magical leap from a bowl of water to a painting of the ocean. Seemingly suspecting that the fish was real, the guard actually went so far as to rip it from the piece and then nibble on it in a truly bizarre scene that was captured by security cameras. When later questioned as to why he had vandalized the work, the man's only excuse was that he had not gotten enough sleep the night before what wound up being his now-former job.
