The funeral industry, Grey aliens, and artificial intelligence 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 possible ghost child filmed in Mexico, a psychic who located a missing man in Texas, and a divorce brought about by a man's obsession with finding Sasquatch. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Two legendary figures from the world of UFO studies returned to Coast to Coast AM on Sunday night's program. In the first two hours, author Whitley Strieber shared insights into the Grey aliens believed to be behind the abduction phenomenon. Claiming to have learned the genetics and anatomy of these beings, he asserted that they are taking humans for data collection purposes and to create hybrid beings capable of telepathy. In the latter half of the show, Dr. Jacques Vallee detailed the Trinity UFO incident that preceded Roswell by two years and involved a pair of witnesses who allegedly observed what appeared to be a non-human entity inside of a downed craft.
A remarkable story of psychic intuition made headlines this past week when Texas medium was credited with finding a man who had gone missing for three days. Eric Allen White sparked a frenzied search after he wandered away from his care home in late December. A social media post about his disappearance caught the attention of psychic medium Vic Andrea, who contacted his caregiver and said that she felt a strong connection to the case. Given the go-ahead to use her gift to help, she meditated on the missing man and received a message about following birds. When she subsequently observed such animals flying overhead towards a greenway, she tracked their path and quickly found White, who had fortunately only sustained minor injuries from the ordeal.
Artificial intelligence was a hot topic of conversation this past week on Coast to Coast AM with two guests offering dramatically different perspectives on the technology. First, on Saturday night's program, Dr. Luba Diangar talked about the Monicor device, which uses AI to examine biofeedback and then develop personalized frequency therapies to improve both physical and mental health. Conversely, on Wednesday night's program, Dr. Christopher Macklin discussed his concerns regarding artificial intelligence, specifically what he sees as ethical issues surrounding the technology. He cautioned that while AI may seem like a fantastic enhancement to our lives, one should be wary about who is creating and controlling it.
This past week featured a pair of videos showing possible paranormal activity. First, a truck driver in Mexico captured footage of what appeared to be a child inexplicably running down a road in the middle of the night. Some viewers of the video, which went viral on Mexican social media, suggested that the diminutive figure was the spirit of a youngster. Meanwhile, others theorized that the 'ghost' was a clever distraction on the part of criminals hoping that the driver would stop to help the tot, which he did not. Later in the week, footage of a curious cluster of lights maneuvering strangely in the night sky over Colorado caught our attention. Theories for what the odd orbs were included aliens, of course, secret aircraft, or just some lanterns.
The funeral industry was in the spotlight on Monday night's program as death educator Mandy Benoualid detailed how the practice of laying our loved ones to rest has evolved in recent years. She indicated that the prevalence of cremation has led to far fewer people opting for open casket services and viewings. Another significant change to the industry, she observed, is that independent funeral homes have begun being bought out and consolidated by larger companies. Regarding the influence of technology, Benoualid noted that some modern memorials now feature QR codes that allow visitors to learn a wealth of information about an individual's life that previously could not be contained on a simple marker with just a few words.
The weirdest story of the week came by way of Canada where a man's quest to find Bigfoot came back to haunt him during his divorce proceedings. In a judge's decision concerning the split, it was noted that the marriage ended after his wife discovered that he had secretly taken an ex-girlfriend with him on a Sasquatch hunt. Compounding the cryptozoological connection to the case, his request for alimony was rebuffed by the court as his claims of being unable to work due to injuries sustained in yet another search for Bigfoot were called into question. In handing down his verdict, the judge expressed skepticism over the man's assertion because he continues to venture into the wilderness to look for the elusive creature.
