The mystery of the afterlife, sound therapy, and psychic communication with animals were among the fascinating realms explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a new theory regarding when the Tasmanian Tiger went extinct, a Romanian skier who had a frightening encounter with a bear, and a jaw-dropping volcanic rock that is a dead ringer for the Cookie Monster. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
The healing power of sound took center stage on Monday night's program as pioneering researcher Eileen Day McKusick detailed her development of an acoustic therapy treatment known as Biofield Tuning. She explained that the electric nature of the human body can be adjusted using tuning forks and, in turn, this can help alleviate a person's longstanding aches and pains. Additionally, McKusick argued that depression and mental illness are the result of "tonal imbalances" in the body's electrical field and that they can also be treated using sound therapy.
A pair of longstanding mysteries were cast in a new light this past week thanks to some rather thought-provoking scientific studies. First, a team of researchers in Australia collected every known Tasmanian Tiger sighting reported over the last century and, using this massive database, made the argument that the creature actually went extinct about 20 years ago and not in the 1930s as mainstream science suggests. Meanwhile, a fascinating new look at the Dyatlov Pass incident from a pair of experts in Europe found that the tragic event was likely caused by a slab avalanche that was inadvertently triggered by how the doomed hikers set up their tent on that fateful evening back in 1959.
The mystery of the afterlife was a frequent topic of conversation this past week on Coast to Coast AM, beginning with Sunday night's program in which aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow detailed his new venture aimed at cultivating evidence that will, hopefully, reveal what happens after death. Then, on Tuesday evening, clairvoyant medium Kim Dennis shared insights from her work communicating with spirits residing on the 'other side.' And, on Wednesday night's program, author Michael Prescott discussed his research into the afterlife which is culled from such things as near-death experiences, mediumship, apparitions, past-life recall, and memories of a between-lives state.
The sometimes-pugnacious nature of the animal kingdom was on full display this week by way of a pair of truly wild stories. First, a skier at a resort in Romania was forced to flee for his life when a bear emerged from a nearby forest and, much to the horror of onlookers watching from the chairlift above, chased him down the mountain. While that particular individual was lucky enough to escape, a man in Australia who had an encounter with an ornery goat was not so fortunate and wound up needing medical attention after the creature charged at him and knocked him to the ground. Adding insult to injury, the antagonistic animal actually hung around the area while the man was being loaded into an ambulance as if it were gloating over the carnage it had caused.
If we could communicate with animals, what might they say? This intriguing question was explored on Thursday night's program as channeler Cyndie Lepori discussed her ability to speak with dolphins and other creatures by way of telepathic messages. As one might imagine, she said, these animals are concerned with how humanity is treating the planet and stressed the need for us to take better care of the environment. Lepori also imparted insights which she received from dinosaurs that she communicated with via a psychic time travel technique.
Easily the most eye-catching story of the week centered around an amazing volcanic rock which, when cracked open, bore an uncanny resemblance to the iconic Sesame Street character Cookie Monster. Discovered in the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil, the fantastic gemstone was hailed as "probably the most perfect" natural depiction of the famed Muppet ever to be found. In a testament to both the unique nature of the find and the power of pop culture, the rock has already sparked something of a bidding war with at least five people coming forward with offers exceeding $10,000 for the remarkable object.
