Bosnia's enigmatic ancient pyramids, unsettling creature encounters in England, and the lost civilization of Atlantis were among the fascinating topics featured this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about an apocryphal 'wolf man' photographed in Germany, a mysterious gravestone piece found in Michigan, and an eerie account of a 'ghost voter' at a polling station in Argentina. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
Tales of high strangeness in Britain's East and North Yorkshire took center stage on Saturday night's program as author Paul Sinclair shared stories of curious creature encounters and other odd events from that area of England. He recounted an unsettling incident wherein two people spotted a sizeable entity that resembled a 'dog man.' Sinclair noted that the duo happened to have an infrared camera with them at the time and were astounded when the bipedal canine did not appear on their viewfinder despite being right in front of them. He also recalled a recent case from October of 2022 in which a motorist came across a Bigfoot-like creature known in the area as the ''Twig Man.'
Politics and the paranormal crossed paths in a couple of unexpected ways this past week. First, in Argentina, workers at a polling station reported being visited by what can only be described as a 'ghost voter.' The suspected spirit, they said, was that of an elderly woman who was handed her ballot and ushered into a room to fill it out. When she didn't emerge after several minutes, police at the polling station went to check on her and she was nowhere to be found. Later in the week, the UFO phenomenon made something of a cameo appearance at the GOP presidential primate debate when former New Jersey governor Chris Christie was asked if he would "level with" the American people about what is behind the longstanding mystery.
Could the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis have been located in Britain's North Sea? Historical detective Graham Phillips made the case for this tantalizing scenario on Thursday night's program, arguing that a sunken island known as Doggerland. He revealed that underwater archaeological efforts at the site off the coast of England have identified several places which seemingly match Plato's description of the mysterious land, such as stone circles and ancient saunas. Phillips posited that the island civilization ultimately fell victim to rising sea levels that came about due to the end of the Ice Age and mused that such lost worlds may be historical anomalies unlikely to repeat unless our planet undergoes another deep freeze.
This past week featured a pair of peculiar stories involving the odd combination of cops and rocks, beginning with a weird mystery in Michigan which came about when police found what appears to be a piece of gravestone that had been deposited on the side of a road. A search of nearby cemeteries yielded no indication as to its source, leaving authorities to ask if anyone in the public can identify it. Later in the week, police in Massachusetts made a bizarre bust when they arrested a man who, they say, has been purposely leaving boulders in the middle of a road so that cars would crash into them. Caught in the act by a detective hiding in some nearby woods, the suspect now faces a whopping 20 charges for his alleged antics which unfolded over the course of months.
The mysterious pyramids of Bosnia were explored on Wednesday night's program as author Dr. Sam Osmanagich detailed his research into these enigmatic structures which he believes to be around 30,000 years old. Asserting that the location is one of the most archive archaeological locations in the world with nearly two decades of constant investigation being done there, he indicated that there is an enormous tunnel system beneath the pyramids which spans a staggering 60 miles underground. Remarkably, Osmanagich said that many people with health issues have reported feeling their condition improve following a trip down into the labyrinth beneath the site.
By far the wildest story of the week came by way of Germany, where a pair of hikers managed to photograph an apocryphal individual, dubbed the 'wolf man,' who is believed to live in the forests of a mountain range. Gina Weiss snapped the jaw-dropping picture as she and a friend were exploring some popular sand caves in an area where the Harz mountains run through the town of Blankenburg. To their profound surprise, the duo stumbled upon the mysterious stranger who has been spotted roaming around the woods while dressed as a wolf on multiple occasions over the last five years. Seen as something of an urban legend in the community, the existence of the 'wolf man' was finally confirmed thanks to Weiss fortuitous photo.
