Intriguing UFO theories, mysterious disappearances of hunters, the Enfield poltergeist case were among the riveting realms explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a World War II bomb that suddenly exploded and left a huge crater in a German field, this year's winner of the World's Ugliest Dog award, and how France seems to be gripped with crop circle fever. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
The infamous Enfield poltergeist case is one of the most chilling tales in all of paranormal history. On Saturday night's program, Dr. Melvyn Willin provided Coast listeners with a vivid look at the 1977 event that took place in the suburbs of London by way of audio of the two purportedly possessed girls that was recorded by investigator Maurice Grosse at the height of the haunting. The fascinating first-hand perspective was complimented by Willin's own analysis of the iconic event which was so unsettling that it wound up being featured in the Conjuring film series a few years ago.
Two odd-looking animals snagged a share of the spotlight this past week, beginning with a canine named Scamp the Tramp, who was crowned the World's Ugliest Dog for 2019 at the annual competition held at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California. The unquestionably unique pooch's wild hair and bug eyes earned the animal top prize at the event which featured 18 other unsightly competitors. Later in the week, a video from Japan went viral thanks to its truly weird star: a crow that bore an eerie resemblance to a gorilla.
A number of unique perspectives on the UFO phenomenon were featured this past week on Coast to Coast AM. First, on Sunday night's show, Prof. Michael Masters posited that perhaps the flying machines we see in the sky today are, in fact, time travelers from humanity's distant future. Later in the evening, theoretical physicist Jack Sarfatti talked about what may be the science behind the mysterious Tic Tac UFO incident which has sparked headlines this year. And, on Wednesday night's program, author Nick Redfern discussed how Russia once used the UFO phenomenon as a cover to sow confusion here in the United States.
This past week featured a pair of strange stories involving, of all things, bombs. First, a town in Germany was rocked when an undetonated World War II bomb suddenly exploded in the middle of the night and shook the entire community out of their sleep. When daylight arrived, residents were astounded to see that the blast had created an enormous crater in a farmer's field. Meanwhile, here in America, a self-proclaimed alien contactee was arrested for allegedly building a bomb of his own in an attempt to get the attention of the police to warn them about an imminent threat from the ornery ETs.
Mysterious disappearances once again took center stage on Coast this week when investigator David Paulides returned to the program on Monday night to share baffling stories of experienced hunters inexplicably vanished while out in the woods. As with his work chronicling National Park disappearances, he detailed a number of aspects to these incidents which leave one scratching their head and wondering what, exactly, happened to these unfortunate individuals. Paulides also talked about his research into Bigfoot, specifically DNA studies which indicate that the creature may be some kind of human hybrid.
With the 2019 crop circle season now fully underway, one surprising development this year has been a genuine flap unfolding in France with curious designs seemingly popping up all over the place in the country. What began with two designs discovered at the start of the month has blossomed into six so far in just a few short weeks. Why, exactly, France has become the proverbial epicenter of the crop circle phenomenon this year is as mysterious as the enigmatic formations themselves, but it's a safe bet that we'll see more designs popping in the weeks and months to come.
