Dogmen, the Flat Earth theory, and messages from the 'other side' were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about the first breathtaking images from the Webb telescope, a possible Virgin Mary visitation before a mass audience, and Bigfoot being at the center of a bizarre murder in Oklahoma. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Mysterious bipedal canine creatures, dubbed 'dogmen,' found their way into the spotlight on Thursday evening as cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard talked about these curious cryptids which have been spotted with increasing frequency in recent years. Describing the rise in sightings as exponential, he noted that individuals unfortunate enough to encounter these beasts often report that they are particularly aggressive. Based on the damage to cars and buildings that has been attributed to these creatures, he speculated that they may actually be supernatural rather than 'flesh and blood' animals. During his appearance, Gerhard also discussed Bigfoot and thunderbirds.
This past week saw a particularly wondrous story emerge out of Nigeria, where a priest claims that the Virgin Mary appeared at his church and more than 100 parishioners witnessed the astounding event. Fr. Evaristus Bassey shared the incredible account of the events at the St Charles Lwanga Catholic Church on social media, providing testimonies from multiple individuals and admittedly hard-to-decipher photos which purportedly show the heavenly visitor. While the Virgin Mary was said not to have imparted any message to the congregation, many interpreted the visitation as a reminder that she is watching over them and protecting the church.
The Flat Earth theory took center stage on Monday night's program as entrepreneur David Weiss detailed his research into the controversial concept. Arguing that our world is a stationary plane rather than a planet, he dismissed NASA images of the Earth as being fake and argued that missions to the moon were also a hoax. As for other planets in our solar system, Weiss theorized that they could actually be reflected light and indicated that what lies beneath the flat Earth is a mystery. As for why the 'powers that be' would want to conceal the true shape of the planet, he asserted that it is because there is additional land on the plane that they do not wish to reveal to the public.
Astronomy fans were over the proverbial moon this past week when NASA released the first images from their newly operational James Webb Space Telescope, which boasts an array of powerful instruments that can capture observations of distant space with a clarity unlike anything seen before. In a testament to the significance of the occasion, the first picture was unveiled on Monday evening at a special event presided over by President Biden at the White House. The following day, NASA released four more breathtaking images which showcased the awesome observational power of the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
When a person passes over to the 'other side,' is it possible for them to reach across the divide and communicate with their loved ones who still reside in the realm of the living? This tantalizing question as explored on Tuesday night's program as Louise Hamlin shared her remarkable story of receiving messages from her late husband shortly after he succumbed to cancer. She recounted curious events which occurred that left her convinced that he was trying to speak to her, including a string of gibberish that mysteriously appeared on a phone app and featured the phrase "darling, it's me" several times. She also talked about visits to psychic mediums wherein these gifted individuals imparted eerily obscure details from her husband's life.
By far the most bizarre story of the week unfolded in Oklahoma, where a man was arrested for allegedly murdering his fishing buddy and, when questioned by police, he explained that Sasquatch was to blame. The suspect, Larry Sanders, told authorities that the very strange slaying came about when his friend, Jimmy Knighten, "summoned Bigfoot to come and kill him." As a matter of self defense, he asserted to the cops, he was forced to strike then strangle the man and leave his body floating in the South Canadian River before he, himself, wound up dead at the hands of the fearsome cryptid. As one might imagine, police didn't buy his story and, without Bigfoot around to corroborate it, Sanders ended up being arrested and charged with Knighten's murder.
