Inspired by the 1958 western The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca, George Noory hosted five hours of Open Lines featuring a "Nine Lives" special topic line for callers who, like Elfego Baca, have nine lives. George was especially interested in learning how many lives people thought they had already used up.
Wendell from Phoenix purportedly used one of his nine lives while cutting through live high voltage wires. He said he saw a flash of light, his cutters were instantly welded to the wire conduit, and he was pushed back about 15 feet. Another caller told George she had been struck twice by lightning and could "smell death" around her. A trucker named Kenneth recounted using up three of his lives: one when he was electrocuted by 15,000 volts (which left him "dead" for four minutes), and two more for truck accidents.
An interesting call came in from David of Bristol, Connecticut, who claimed to have developed the ability to remote view. During one session, he reported visiting a Navy base where he was confronted by a man who ordered, "Get out. You don't belong here." David believes this man could be an astral guard, charged with protecting the military's remote viewing program from outsiders.
Seattle Quake
During the first few minutes of Friday's show, author and lecturer Stuart Wilde shared visions he has been having of a massive quake that will rock Seattle. He believes if it happens, an earthquake originating in the Pacific Ocean near the Seattle shore will occur tomorrow (November 6, 2004) at either 7:15 AM or 7:15 PM. According to Wilde, Seattle residents should also expect a 200-ft tall tidal wave to accompany the quake.
