Weather manipulation, Bigfoot, and ancient megalithic sites 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 potential breakthrough in the Amelia Earhart mystery, a 'supernatural' house for sale in Thailand, and a New Jersey home hit by a pepperoni prankster. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Ancient megalithic sites took center stage on Thursday night's program as two separate guests discussed such mysterious locations. In the first half of the show, author Brad Olsen shared insights from his investigation of the Plain of Jars in Laos. This location, he explained, features dozens of giant stone containers that were placed there sometime between 500 BC to 500 AD. Thought to be funerary in nature, Olson noted that legend states that they were cups crafted by giants. In the latter half of the program, author Andrew Collins talked about a Turkish megalithic site known as Karahan Tepe and how these mysterious locations around the world may provide clues to advanced knowledge possessed by humanity's distant ancestors.
This past week saw a possible breakthrough in the longstanding mystery surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart as an exhaustive expedition in the Pacific Ocean may have located the famed aviator's lost plane. Costing a whopping $11 million, the search utilized a specially designed submersible drone to scour an area off the coast of Howell Island, where many believe the pioneering pilot perished. When the data from the sonar scans was later examined, it was discovered that the vehicle picked up a rather peculiar anomaly that appeared to be the shape of a small aircraft. Researchers hope to return to the location later this year to do a literal deep dive and either confirm or dispel the belief that the oddity is, in fact, Earhart's plane.
The troubling possibility that the military-industrial complex is tinkering with the planet's weather was explored on Monday night's program as researcher and activist Dane Wigington made the case that just such a scenario is currently unfolding. He posited that the proverbial 'powers that be' orchestrate changes to the environment to subtly influence populations. This geoengineering, he said, is often carried about by way of chemtrails that are rife with an array of toxic particles. Wiggington pointed to the wildfires in Canada as well as the firestorm that struck Hawaii last year as examples of weather manipulation in action.
A pair of particularly weird crimes wound up making the news this past week, beginning with a bizarre incident wherein a house in New Jersey was vandalized by a pepperoni-wielding troublemaker. Homeowner Heather Dougherty was left scratching her head upon discovering that a mischievous individual had left slices of meat all over her porch and car. While understandably irritated about being targeted, she also expressed some amusement over the sheer weirdness of the pepperoni prank. Meanwhile, staff at a Canadian resort were astounded when a determined gang of sticky-fingered ne'er-do-wells somehow managed to steal a 500-pound taxidermied polar bear from the balcony of one of their buildings.
The legendary Bigfoot was in the spotlight once again this past week on Coast to Coast AM as author George Mitrovic joined the program on Wednesday night to detail his extensive research into the elusive cryptid as well as similar creatures said to reside in locations around the world. Despite the differences in their reported sizes, he postulated that all of these various 'hairy wild men' are related to each other. Regarding Bigfoot, he observed that reports of the creature stretch back deep into Native American lore and some of the earliest sightings emanated out of Northern California rather than the Pacific Northwest. Mitrovic also expressed optimism that the proliferation of cameras in modern times will ultimately lead to one of these mysterious cryptids being definitively photographed.
One of the odder stories we've seen in a while popped up in the news this past week by way of Thailand, where a purportedly 'supernatural' house was put up for sale. According to the listing, the residence boasts a "strange energy" that manifests itself in the form of a mysterious black hole that occasionally appears on the wall of a bedroom. The odd phenomenon allegedly allows an individual to glimpse into the past, which led homeowner to theorize that it might be some kind of time portal. As if that were not strange enough, he also claims to have had prophetic dreams that contained winning lottery numbers and warnings about difficulties set to befall his family.
