Mars exploration, angels and spirit guides, and Dogman were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. Meanwhile, at the C2C website, we told you about a possible full-bodied apparition photographed by a realtor, a Michigan marijuana dispensary offering something of a 'Sasquatch special,' and a Kentucky man with a rather colorful criminal history involving both a raccoon and a mule. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Angels and spirit guides were in the spotlight on Tuesday night's show as medium Sunny Dawn Johnston shared insights from her communications with such denizens of unseen realms. She described these ethereal beings as "extremely high frequency" entities emanating from a vibrational world. Johnston suggested that angels can make their presence felt in myriad ways, including simple messages like repeating number patterns that might catch an individual's attention. On the subject of negative spiritual beings, like demons, she mused that these frightening figures function at a lower frequency than their angelic counterparts and can be thwarted by being grounded, staying in the present, and calling on positive entities for protection.
This past week featured a trio of stories showcasing possible evidence of paranormal activity, beginning with an eerie real estate listing seemingly showing a full-bodied apparition. Noticed by a former owner's family member who heard the residence had gone up for sale, the creepy photos of a bar area reveal what appears to be a ghostly white figure manifesting on a stool. Later in the week, a mystified witness in Taiwan captured footage of a curious cluster of flickering UFOs that cruised through the sky over a city. Finally, a group of Scottish teens were stunned when they spotted a peculiar black orb that swiftly and silently sailed over their heads while out for a late-night stroll.
Of all the curious creatures in the colorful world of cryptozoology, few are as fearsome as the infamous Dogman. On Thursday night's program, cryptid researcher Joedy Cook detailed his research into the bipedal beast that has risen to prominence in recent years. He noted that, unlike the seemingly benign Bigfoot, the Dogman appears to be a predatory animal with reports of aggressive encounters dating back to the 1600s in Europe and modern times in North America. During his appearance, Cook recounted incidents wherein unfortunate individuals ran afoul of the canine cryptid, including one such account where the victim was left with an 18-inch bite wound.
In a testament to how Bigfoot is beloved by all generations, this past week saw the legendary cryptid celebrated by two decidedly different demographics. First, in Michigan, a community's excitement over a recent Sasquatch sighting extended to a local cannabis dispensary that announced a rather unusual deal wherein customers who could provide a picture of the elusive cryptid would be rewarded with a free joint. Meanwhile, in Washington State, a fifth-grade class successfully lobbied a county to pass a resolution protecting Bigfoot. Making the achievement all the more commendable is that it marked the fourth straight year that students from Lincoln Elementary School managed to pull off the cryptozoological feat.
The Red Planet took center stage on Monday night's program as Mars Society President Robert Zubrin returned to the program for a conversation about space exploration and the possibility of someday sending humans to our mysterious celestial neighbor. He marveled that the opportunity to achieve such a historic goal is particularly ripe at the moment thanks to the increasing advancement of the private space industry. Envisioning how a Mars mission might unfold, he indicated that it would last approximately two-and-a-half years with astronauts spending approximately 18 months on the Red Planet. Zubrin also responded to recent changes in NASA leadership and budget cuts that could threaten the progress of space exploration.
By far the weirdest story of the week came by way of Kentucky where a man arrested for a strange incident involving a raccoon was revealed to have previously run afoul of the law during a misadventure with a mule. The colorful crime spree came to light when cops in the city of Murray arrested Jonathan Mason for allegedly releasing a proverbial trash bandit into an open business where it subsequently bit a person. It was later learned that the troublemaker was no stranger to authorities in the community as, six months earlier, Mason attempted to flee police while riding a mule after he had been thrown out of a bar for being unruly.
