The downside to driverless cars, perspectives on the coronavirus pandemic, and past lives 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 Belgian man being tormented by a sinister pizza prankster, a pair of possible Bigfoot dens discovered in New York, and the surprising end, for now, to the saga of Fenn's treasure. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
The phenomenon of past lives took center stage on Tuesday night's program as Joanne DiMaggio shared the results of a fascinating year-long project which chronicled the journeys of 25 men and women who explored their previous incarnations. She explained that, during regression, these individuals were able to determine how and why they chose their current lives as well as when this decision took place during the reincarnation cycle. These experiencers, DiMaggio revealed, also provided incredible insights into the afterlife, where a Council of Elders works with people who are between lives.
Easily the most exciting story of the week occurred somewhere in the Rocky Mountains when a yet-to-be-identified individual managed to do what hundreds of thousands of people have spent the last decade trying to accomplish: find the legendary Fenn Treasure. The hunt for the hidden chest of gold, jewels, and artifacts officially came to an end when the creator of the chase, eccentric art dealer Forrest Fenn, announced that a man "from back East" had found the riches. This development was both bittersweet and somewhat maddening for fans of the mystery as the identity of the finder, the location of the treasure, and how exactly the discovery occurred all remain shrouded in secrecy.
Coast to Coast AM's coverage of the coronavirus crisis continued this week with several programs dedicated to different aspects of the pandemic. First, on Sunday night's program, investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts discussed the push to develop a COVID vaccine. Following that, Dinesh D'Souza appeared on Wednesday night's program and expressed his concerns about how the lockdowns related to the coronavirus impacted American workers. And, on Thursday night's program, H. Michael Sweeney talked about conspiracies connecting RFID tracking, the COVID vaccine, and the New World Order.
Sasquatch enthusiasts in New York's Hudson Valley are on the lookout for the famed cryptid following an intriguing report from some hikers who stumbled upon a sizeable print and a pair of remarkable structures which some believe could have been Bigfoot dens. The thought-provoking finds were made in a forest in the town of Cairo last week and were subsequently brought to the attention of a research group in the area. The organization plans to set up camera traps in the area to see if they can capture images of the creature that created the curious structures on film, which is probably safer than walking up to the spot and potentially waking up whatever is sleeping inside.
A long-imagined future featuring driverless cars may soon be upon us, but those vehicles also might bring with them a myriad of problems. On Monday night's program, Matthew Crawford detailed these potential issues which, he said, include the decimation of the trucking industry, the enormous costs required to retrofit roads for these technologically advanced vehicles, and the atrophy of human skills once the population becomes accustomed to driverless cars. To that end, he expressed concern that what may seem like a fantastic advancement could ultimately wind up turning us into "passive and dependent creatures."
In one of the weirder stories we've seen in quite some time, it was revealed that a Belgian man has been on the receiving end of a nine-year-long campaign of harassment from some nefarious person who keeps ordering pizzas to be delivered to his house. While the one-sided prank war may sound amusing to some, Jean Van Landeghem says that it has been a living nightmare as delivery drivers show up at his door at all hours of the night and, as one can imagine, they're usually not too thrilled about getting stiffed on the bills for the food that the man never ordered. Uncertain of who could be behind the harassment and unable to get help from local authorities, the beleaguered man finally took to the media in Belgium in the hopes of finding some solace from the pizza stalker.
