Celebrities and high strangeness, demonic spirits, and the Roswell incident 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 man who tried to row from Thailand to India to reunite with his wife, a nightmarish creature found on an Australian beach, and a massive bike collection that could be seen from space. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Has there been an increase in negative and demonic spirits that are unleashing chaos upon our planet? This troubling question was explored on Monday night's program as exorcist and psychic Jeffrey Seelman argued that just such a troubling scenario is currently unfolding in our world. He posited that these dark forces take the form of deceased humans as well as far more powerful ancient demonic beings. Such entities do not possess the power to outright kill a person, he explained, and instead inflict profound emotional damage upon their victims and tear their lives asunder. During his appearance, Seelman also shared insights into how to best protect oneself from these sinister influences.
Over the years, we've seen quite a few strange and unusual things wash ashore at coastal locations around the world, but a particularly wild video from this past week may be at the top of the list. While walking along a beach in Australia, Alex Tan stopped in his tracks when he stumbled upon the remains of a truly nightmarish mystery creature. The curious carcass appeared to be that of a four-legged animal that sported a long tail and a pair of paws that looked eerily similar to human hands. Upon posting footage of the creature online, Tan's video quickly went viral and eventually a wildlife expert stepped forward to seemingly solve the mystery by suggesting that the oddity was likely a dead possum.
2022 marks the 75th anniversary of the legendary Roswell incident and, on Thursday night's program, C2C's investigative reporter Cheryll Jones spoke to UFO researcher Don Schmitt about the iconic case. He mused that puzzling event has become the proverbial centerpiece of UFO lore in large part because it features a variety of tantalizing details that go well beyond the standard sighting of strange lights in the sky, such as claims of a government cover-up and alien bodies being seen. Schmitt also recounted intriguing deathbed confessions from Roswell witnesses and talked about how the case ultimately came to be known to the world.
This past week saw an oddly uplifting story cross our desk, when authorities rescued a man who was attempting to row a small boat from Thailand to India in a misguided but heartfelt quest to reunite with his wife. Upon being saved after 18 days stranded at sea, Ho Huang Hung explained that his wife works in Dubai and that, due to the pandemic, they have been apart for over two years. Tired of waiting to see her again, the lovesick man tried to travel to India by conventional means, but could not obtain the proper paperwork, which led him to embark what would have been a 1,200 mile trek across the Bay of Bengal by way of an inflatable boat.
In recent years, an increasing number of celebrities have opened up about their paranormal experiences and beliefs. On Sunday night's program, George Knapp welcomed a cavalcade of stars for a discussion on high strangeness. First, MMA legend Georges St-Pierre provided a vivid recounting of a UFO sighting that unfolded one night as he was driving with some fellow fighters. During the second hour, TV personality Jack Osbourne talked about his longstanding interest in the paranormal. Comedic actor Dave Foley offered his perspective on the unusual and mysterious in the third hour and documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell appeared in the final hour to talk about the UFO phenomenon.
Easily the weirdest story of the week came by way of Britain, where a man was arrested after collecting hundreds of bicycles and stashing them in his backyard in a massive pile that was so enormous that it could be seen from space. The unnamed homeowner's hoard of bikes has been a source of contention between he and his neighbors for years, since the man offered no reason for why he kept acquiring bikes nor if he had any plans to stop adding to the prodigious patch. The dispute finally culminated when cops visited the property and determined that many of the bicycles were stolen, leading to the homeowner's arrest and, his neighbors hope, an end his seemingly endless collecting.
