Crop circles, supernatural Sasquatch, and remote viewing were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about gunfire exchanged during a West Virginia ghost hunt, a faux college course on 'alien communications,' and mysterious supernatural fires plaguing a Zimbabwean professor. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Remote viewing was back in the C2C spotlight on Thursday night's program as Major Ed Dames returned to the program with an update on his investigations into various cases and mysteries. Reflecting on the process of learning and utilizing psychic skills, he stressed that these abilities require rigorous training to handle the complex tasks involved in the process. He recounted his work on a high-profile missing child case in France, wherein he seemingly sensed the young boy's remains. Dames also discussed remote viewing the legendary Ark of the Covenant, which he said could be located in Hebron, Israel at the Cave of the Patriarchs.
While the public's perception of the UFO phenomenon has improved dramatically in recent years, a pair of stories this past week proved that the proverbial giggle factor surrounding the subject has not entirely gone away. At a Chilean Congressional hearing about an observatory in the country, a curious politician asked esteemed astronomer José Maza if he had ever seen a flying saucer. In response, the renowned scientist dismissed the idea of aliens visiting the planet as an absurdity akin to Santa Claus or Peter Pan. Later in the week, a New Mexico college announced a new 'alien communications' course by way of a video featuring the instructor and students wearing tinfoil hats. The enrollment date for the class was, of course, April Fool's Day.
The crop circle phenomenon took center stage on Sunday night's program as researcher Patty Greer shared insights from her years investigating these mysterious formations throughout the United Kingdom. She suggested that these enigmatic designs could connect to the Earth's energy as they often appear near aquifers and ley lines. While some believe that crop circles are created by aliens and skeptics contend they are the work of clever humans, Greer posited that they are actually messages from the planet itself. Regarding the creation of these formations, she asserted that they are fashioned by plasma fields that manifest as a ball of light at the end of a spinning vortex of energy.
This past week featured a pair of bizarre stories centered around what might best be described as supernatural torment. First, in Ghana, residents of a village were afraid to leave their homes due to swarms of bees that had inexplicably descended upon the community for several days straight. The presence of the pernicious bug, which had left many people needing medical treatment, was attributed to a veritable curse brought about by the felling of a revered tree thought to be a spiritual protector for the village. Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe, a university professor claimed to be plagued by mysterious fires that spontaneously ignite and specifically destroy items of value in his home, leaving him out a considerable amount of money and wondering if he is the victim of a hex.
Rather than being a purely flesh-and-blood creature, could Sasquatch possess supernatural traits and abilities? This tantalizing scenario was explored on Tuesday night's program by author Tobe Johnson, who argued that Bigfoot is akin to paranormal phenomena like poltergeists. He hypothesized that the 'creature' could be a trans-dimensional being, of sorts, that can manifest as a ball of light before taking on the appearance of a sizeable bipedal primate. During his appearance, Johnson detailed multiple Sasquatch cases that featured weird elements such as possible telepathic communication, the sudden appearance of objects that appeared to be conjured by the creature, and a cube of light that suddenly transformed into Bigfoot.
The wildest story of the week came by way of West Virginia where a dispute between a ghost hunter and a property owner led to the two men exchanging gunfire. Spirit seeker Fred Shrewsbury raised the ire of Corde Sargent when he went into his neighborhood to look for high strangeness. Hoping to send the ghost hunter packing, the homeowner fired a warning shot that accomplished his goal that day, though that was not the end of their showdown. A subsequent visit from Shrewsbury saw Sargent again take issue with his presence. This time, however, the paranormal investigator was armed as well. A short shootout erupted between the two until Shrewsbury gave up the ghost, so to speak, and headed home for good.
