Crop circles, the alien abduction phenomenon, and angels were among the fascinating topics explored on Coast to Coast AM this past week. Meanwhile, at the C2C website, we told you about footage of an alien-like head peeking out from behind a car, a fortune teller who made off with a man's gold ring by eating the piece, and an Arizona auto shop swarmed by fake mechanics as part of an elaborate internet prank. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Angels took center stage on Monday night's program as channeling medium Christopher Macklin shared insights on these mysterious entities. Describing them as an intermediary between God and humanity, he indicated that such beings embody unconditional love with no judgment and often work together in teams. On the subject of guardian angels, Macklin recalled a remarkable experience wherein he was guided to change a flight, which wound up saving his life. During his appearance, he also talked about Starseeds, individuals who believe they were sent to Earth to help humanity evolve, and mused about how some extraterrestrials connected to the angelic realm.
A pair of peculiar videos of possible paranormal activity made headlines this past week beginning with a weird scene filmed in Mexico. The confounding footage showed what appeared to be the top of a bulbous head peeking out from behind a car. Sporting a pair of large black eyes, the eerie anomaly was likened to an alien by many viewers. That said, some observers also suggested the oddity was a supernatural entity and skeptics posited that it was probably a clever hoax. Later in the week, a pair of friends in Venezuela filmed a mysterious stranger mulling around in front of a historic church. The duo was dumbfounded when they looked closer and saw that the figure, which they speculated was a ghost, was seemingly floating as it had no legs.
Alien abductions were in the spotlight on Saturday night's program as Connie Willis presided over a special panel discussion wherein guests Bret Oldham, Philip Kinsella, and Paul Sinclair reflected on their personal experiences with the phenomenon. Over the course of the evening, the trio recounted their specific encounters with otherworldly visitors and detailed the physical and psychological effects of these events. During the program, Willis revealed that she has been an experiencer throughout her life and was likely a participant in what abduction researchers believe to be an extraterrestrial hybrid program.
This past week featured an unusual new entry into the annals of odd psychic schemes when a man in India reported the theft of a gold ring by a self-proclaimed fortune teller who ate the expensive piece. The bizarre heist occurred when the victim was approached by the purported mystic as he was leaving a temple. Following a series of fantastic promises about his alleged abilities, the psychic convinced the man to take off his gold ring so that the soothsayer could examine it. Following a theatrical 'ritual' performed on the ring, the fortune teller popped the piece into his mouth and told the man the band would be at his home when he returned to the residence. Of course, this was not the case, but the mystic and the ring were long gone by the time the victim realized he had been had.
A classic paranormal mystery, crop circles, was revisited on Thursday night's program as researcher Patty Greer discussed her fieldwork investigating these enigmatic formations. Having visited countless designs, she marveled that the energy emanating from these spots felt almost otherworldly. Citing pioneering researcher Dr. W.C. Levengood, she posited that crop circles are created by a plasma vortex that manifests as balls of light that have been seen performing the proverbial pressing of the formation. The designs themselves, she suggested, are messages to humanity from the Earth's consciousness.
The weirdest story of the week came by way of Arizona where an auto shop owner found himself the target of a posse of pranksters who swarmed his business dressed as mechanics. David Hyland decried the troublemakers who flooded his garage wielding various tools and pretended to work on the cars there until he called the cops. The strange scene unfolded so quickly that the overwhelmed auto shop owner initially thought the faux mechanics were robbers. Since the coverall-clad ne'er-do-wells tinkered with his customers' vehicles, Hyland was forced to shut down the business for the day to ensure that nothing was taken and none of the cars were damaged.
