Supernatural Sasquatch, cleaning up crime scenes, and the Akashic Records were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a UFO filmed above the Los Angeles wildfires, a 'ghost island' spotted by NASA, and a weird proposal to create Wyoming's version of Mount Rushmore. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Crime scene decontamination took center stage on Tuesday night's program as Dr. Christian Cadieux discussed his work cleaning up these often grisly environments after law enforcement had finished their investigation. The powerful smells associated with these places frequently induce a heightened sensitivity, he explained, indicating that this has led to high strangeness being experienced at some locations where particularly gruesome events had recently occurred. This paranormal activity, he said, can take the form of electrical interference, unsettling inexplicable sounds like whispers or knocks, or even visual manifestations. During his appearance, Cadieux also talked about seasonal suicide spikes and the country's fentanyl crisis.
A pair of peculiar stories about astonishing sights created by things bubbling up from the earth made headlines this past week. Off the coast of Azerbaijan, NASA satellites documented the life cycle of a 'ghost island.' Images captured over the course of around two years saw the eruption of a mud volcano submerged in the Caspian Sea, which created a tiny island that remained behind for several months before being nearly washed away in the most recent photo. In Argentina, a bewildered witness captured a seemingly inexplicable scene wherein a huge bubbling circle appeared on the water. His video of the event led to supernatural speculation online, but scientists quickly explained that the disturbance was due to the natural release of carbon dioxide from the bottom of a lake.
Does Bigfoot possess supernatural abilities such as telepathy and perception manipulation? Sasquatch communicator Brian Bland made the case for this tantalizing scenario on Monday night's program. He recounted receiving a telepathic message, that he believes came from Bigfoot, instructing him to venture into the mountains, which ultimately led to him encountering beings more akin to humans than wild animals. Beyond mental communication, Bland suggested that Sasquatch can also manifest itself anywhere and alter its appearance depending on the observer. To that end, he recalled an eerie incident where the being appeared before his eyes, but his friend standing nearby only saw a small dog.
This past week featured a pair of strange stories surrounding the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. First, a local TV news helicopter filming the disaster inadvertently captured what appeared to be a UFO that an eagle-eyed viewer noticed and quickly posted online. As one might imagine, theories concerning the nature of the odd gray object included aliens, a drone, or simply something prosaic such as a plane that appeared otherworldly in the moment. Meanwhile, similar speculation simmered online regarding scenes of untouched trees standing in front of destroyed homes. Many conspiratorial individuals argued that this was a sign that the disaster was a directed attack. However, the phenomenon is actually a natural occurrence attributed to the trees' thick bark and nonflammable sap.
The mysterious Akashic Records were in the spotlight on Thursday night's show with spiritual guide Emily Harrison detailing how meditation and energy practices allowed her to access what she likened to a realm of all-knowing consciousness. Contained within this limitless database, she claimed, are neutral perspective recordings of the "past, present, and all possible futures." Additionally, she said, the Akashic Records feature insights into each individual's soul journey. The paradoxically expansive yet personal database, she mused, is a testament to the interconnected nature of humanity and the planet.
Perhaps the weirdest story of the week came by way of Wyoming where lawmakers introduced a plan to create the state's own version of a massive attraction akin to Mount Rushmore. The audacious idea, dubbed 'Monument to America,' is envisioned as a way of honoring historical Americans from the past 250 years. To that end, if the preliminary proposal gets passed by the state legislature, a special $40,000 task force would be created to develop the concept and find an appropriate location with the results of their report due on July 4th, 2026. Time will tell whether or not the state will move forward with actually creating a 'Wyoming Rushmore' or if it is merely some lawmakers' whimsical dream.
