Art begins the show by greeting the audience from the high desert in the American Southwest, emphasizing the widespread reach of “Coast to Coast AM.” He introduces an open line segment and shares an idea from Marianne Ludwig of Palmdale, California, suggesting a topic on verifiable predictions for the next six weeks. Art appreciates the idea, emphasizing its potential for anticipation and satisfaction. Marianne predicts a major terror attack on a U.S. military installation in Germany within three weeks, involving nuclear waste materials. Art discusses another interesting news piece about a man who found a giant footprint in a granite block near Ramona, California. He invites listeners to share their predictions for the next six weeks, assigning each a number for tracking.
Next, Art introduces another suggestion from S.G. Lee for an open line session focused on personal encounters with monsters. He encourages listeners to share their first-person monster stories. Following this, he reads an intriguing account from Lizzy Odi, who suggests a special line for people who’ve had sexual encounters with demons, spirits, or aliens. Lizzy recounts a chilling experience from her college years involving an unseen presence that touched her and held her down, leading to a non-consensual sexual encounter. Lizzy emphasizes her reliability and lack of substance use, questioning how many others have had similar experiences.
Art discusses the underreporting of sexual assaults in both real-world and abduction cases, suggesting that many women might not report such experiences due to embarrassment or the nature of the incidents. He poses the edgy question to his audience, wondering how many women have had sexual experiences with the unknown, such as demons, forces, or aliens. Art highlights the tendency to assign names to these entities based on personal beliefs or experiences.
Art discusses the ambiguity of such encounters, noting that without concrete evidence, like a little green guy pointing to a specific star, these experiences are largely anecdotal. He acknowledges the high percentage of sexual misconduct reported in abduction cases and invites listeners to share their stories, despite the difficulty and rarity of such reports. Art moves on to other topics, mentioning a power issue at his house and providing a brief news update, highlighting that Memorial Day weekend is expected to be the biggest travel weekend of the year. He notes a decrease in recreational flying post-9/11, attributing it to heightened security measures and public reluctance.
Art discusses an FBI whistleblower’s allegations that headquarters obstructed Minnesota agents’ pre-9/11 surveillance requests, possibly aiding terrorist efforts. He mentions a legal battle over an Oregon law allowing doctors to assist terminally ill patients in ending their lives. Art also covers President Bush’s nuclear discussions with Putin, emphasizing the importance of reducing nuclear weapons and addressing Russia’s nuclear dealings with Iran. He speculates about the quiet conversations between Bush and Putin regarding the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons in response to terrorist attacks.
Art then shares a bizarre news story reported by Paul Harvey about a bouncer found dead in a pool of non-human blood outside a bar in South London. The blood samples are being sent to a veterinary genetics lab for analysis, leaving Art and his audience wondering about the implications. He also touches on a claim that a serial killer was involved in Chandra Levy’s death, mentioning the discovery of one victim’s body in the Potomac River.
Art reads emails from listeners who have noticed changes in the sun’s intensity, color, and effect on their skin. One person from Colorado mentions feeling like the sun is searing their skin despite having dark skin and rarely getting sunburned. Another listener in Manhattan describes the sun as too big, too white, and too hot, feeling like it’s in the wrong place in the sky. A watercolor painter and a photographer also note the sun’s changed quality, describing it as more penetrating and intense. These observations remind Art of Ed Dames’ predictions about the sun, and he thanks his audience for their input.
Returning from a break, Art reiterates the evening’s topics for open lines: monster encounters, predictions for the next six weeks, and sexual encounters with demons, spirits, or aliens. He clarifies that predictions don’t have to be about terrorism but can be any significant event listeners believe will occur in the near term. Art encourages thoughtful and sincere predictions rather than frivolous ones, aiming to collect credible psychic insights.
Art receives a call from a listener in Encino, California, who reports a recent explosion in his neighborhood. The authorities initially suggested it was a natural gas explosion, but the listener is skeptical and mentions that the mayor and the FBI are involved. He speculates about potential terrorist activities and shares his observations of the local Palestinian community, noting their distress and confusion.
Art advises the caller to report his concerns to the FBI if he truly believes there’s a threat. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between average Arab citizens and fanatical extremists, acknowledging the unfair treatment many innocent Arab Americans face. Art then moves on to another caller, who shares a monster encounter story.
The caller, a truck driver currently at a rest stop in Arkansas, recounts an experience from nine years ago in California. While walking alone in the woods and playing a flute, she noticed someone with a flashlight coming up over a ridge. Feeling a sudden sense of fear, she quickly sat back down. She then saw a large, winged shadow, about ten feet tall, rising from the trees. The shadow moved softly, and she was mesmerized by the sight, describing the creature’s massive wings and imposing presence.
The caller continues her story about encountering a large winged creature, speculating it might be the Mothman. She describes the creature’s wings as almost as long as its body and mentions how it moved softly, using its wings to direct itself rather than fly. The creature seemed to toy with another person who was nearby, making them spin in circles with their flashlight trying to locate the source of their fear. Eventually, the person fled, and the creature started moving towards her. She closed her eyes and repeated to herself that she was invisible, hoping to avoid detection. Miraculously, the creature turned back, and she escaped unharmed.
Art and the caller discuss the creature, comparing it to the Mothman and other similar entities. Art highlights the concept of a “mortal moment,” a primal instinct that alerts beings to imminent danger, which animals often experience just before death. He suggests that this instinct might have helped the caller survive her encounter.
Another caller from Bradley, Illinois, introduces himself as Mark and mentions a previous conversation with Art about a ghost story on Halloween. Mark expresses his concerns about a prediction made by Shawn David Morton regarding a potential terrorist attack involving a radiological device. He also jokingly predicts that the Lakers will win in seven games. Before ending the call, he inquires if Art still accepts snail mail.
Art continues the show with a conversation about the dangers of receiving mail due to the risk of terrorist attacks. He explains that as a national talk show host, he and his team, including his wife Ramona, are cautious about handling mail to avoid potential threats. Art recounts a previous caller’s story about recovering a craft from the ocean floor while in the military, expressing his frustration at losing the contact information for a follow-up.
A caller from Aubrey, California, predicts that Sarah Fisher will win the Indy 500 and mentions a book about UFOs and underwater phenomena titled “Invisible Residents” by Ivan Sanderson. Art reminisces about a riveting story from a previous caller who claimed to have recovered an underwater craft, but unfortunately, Art lost the caller’s contact information and urges the person to reach out again.
As the show progresses, Art reiterates the night’s topics: sexual encounters with entities, personal monster encounters, and predictions for significant events in the next six weeks. He acknowledges the rarity of reports on such encounters and encourages listeners to share their first-person experiences. Art emphasizes that predictions can involve any large event, not just terrorism, and will be assigned a number to track their accuracy within six weeks.
Art opens the lines again, and a caller named Terry from Susanville, California, gets through. She introduces herself as an educated 40-year-old mother of two who has had terrifying experiences and memories that have led to mental health professionals and police involvement. Terry mentions knowing a nurse who referred her to a doctor familiar with government work, particularly at Area 51. However, this doctor refused to speak to her over the phone.
Terry reveals that she has video footage of someone being brought back through a closed window in a non-solid form, and she desperately wants to share this with Art. Art instructs her to convert the video into a digital file and email it to him, emphasizing the importance of getting the evidence in a shareable format. Terry also shares that she has had UFO experiences and other encounters, but none of a sexual nature.
She explains that the doctor dismissed her experiences as paranoid delusions and psychosis, despite her showing the videotapes to friends who confirmed the unusual content. Art advises her to send the video evidence to him, promising to post it on his website if it is as compelling as she claims. He reiterates the value of video evidence in validating her story.
Next, a caller named Bobo introduces himself as an amateur radio operator who travels with Circus Vargas. Art shares a personal anecdote about riding behind someone on a motorcycle at a circus.
Art continues the conversation with Bobo, who shares more about his experiences with Circus Vargas. Bobo describes the tight-knit community within the circus, noting how intermarriage and multigenerational talent make it a unique environment. He also mentions his plans to transition to driving a commercial truck after his final season with the circus. Art expresses interest in possibly interviewing more circus people in the future.
The next caller, Jim from Falls Church, Virginia, makes a prediction about a significant earthquake in Antarctica due to the immense ice breaking off. Jim explains that the continent’s ice sheet is so thick it depresses the land beneath, and without the ice, the mountains would be higher than the Himalayas. He predicts a near ten-magnitude earthquake that would cause catastrophic changes, potentially raising mountains and causing massive ice slides into the ocean. Art acknowledges the potential for disaster and the impact such an event would have on global water levels.
Another caller from Portland, Oregon, who wishes to remain anonymous, brings up the topic of “phantom rape.” This term relates to a type of assault where the victim feels a presence but sees nothing, similar to the story that initiated the evening’s discussion. The caller’s story adds to the sensitive and complex nature of the night’s topics.
The caller describes how, in her early twenties, she repeatedly heard noises in her house that she initially attributed to her boyfriend. However, after checking and finding no one there, she became increasingly alarmed. She eventually saw a shadowy figure of a man, which held her down, and felt as though air was being blown into her mouth and filling her body. This terrifying experience left her shaken and in tears, and despite her boyfriend’s disbelief, she remains convinced of its reality to this day.
Art thanks the caller for sharing her story and anticipates more such accounts throughout the night. He then transitions into another segment of the show, emphasizing the night’s themes: predictions for the next six weeks, monster stories, and sexual attack encounters.
A new caller predicts that the bulge on the west side of Mount Rainier will erupt within the next six weeks, potentially causing catastrophic damage to Seattle. Art acknowledges the seriousness of this prediction and discusses the existing geological warnings related to the bulge on Mount Rainier.
The caller from Mendocino County, California, brings up the subject of out-of-body experiences and astral projection. He recounts an out-of-body experience he had four years ago in Amarillo, Texas, which felt so real that it led him to read extensively about the topic. He mentions a popular book, “Journeys Out of the Body,” where the author conducted an experiment while out of his body, pinching a friend who later showed a bruise in the same spot.
Art connects this to the show’s topic, suggesting that if astral projection is real, it could be used for nefarious purposes, such as sexual assaults. He emphasizes that powers and abilities discussed on the show, often portrayed positively by guests, can also have a darker side. Art argues that any power or ability can be used for good or evil, and if people can leave their bodies and interact with others, it is conceivable that some might misuse this ability.
Art speaks with a caller named Marc from Kokomo, Indiana, who discusses the mysterious hum in the area. Marc describes the sound as similar to an idling diesel engine and mentions that it has caused people to move out of town due to its effects, which include dizziness and nausea. He speculates that the hum might be caused by a malfunctioning fan on top of an industrial building, transmitting vibrations through the building into the ground. Art and Marc discuss the possibility of a geological explanation and the Kokomo city council’s allocation of $100,000 to investigate the source of the hum.
Next, a caller from Eagle Point, Oregon, shares a story from years ago when her daughter was around six or seven years old. On a hot summer afternoon in central California, the caller and a friend were in her room with the shades drawn, trying to stay cool. Suddenly, she felt a presence behind her and turned to see a creature standing by her bed. The creature, about 3.5 feet tall, was covered in long silver fur with a long nose and close-set eyes. It was breathing heavily, and the sight of it left her frozen in fear. She describes the creature as humanoid but small, with a terrifying appearance.
She describes it as a three-dimensional being with long, silver fur, a long nose, and sharp teeth, which approached her closely. She was frozen in fear and couldn’t move, and when she finally turned to her friend, he hadn’t seen the creature. The caller later speculated that the creature resembled a silver baboon, though she couldn’t find any information or symbolism related to this in her research. Art suggests that if other listeners have encountered similar beings, they might provide more information.
Art then reads an email from a listener who had two sexual encounters with nightly visitors. The first incident occurred around 1993, when the listener woke up to see a figure standing in their bedroom doorway, illuminated by light from the kitchen. Initially thinking it was their son, they soon realized it wasn’t. The figure approached, got on top of the listener, and paralyzed them. The listener could feel their heart racing and tried to yell for their husband but couldn’t speak. The figure vanished just as the listener thought they might have a heart attack, leaving them frightened and confused.
Art continues with an email from Evelyn, who recounts her second encounter with a mysterious figure. About four years after her first experience, she was sleeping in a guest bedroom and woke up feeling someone in the room. She saw a large figure at the foot of her bed, but this time, the room was filled with a feeling of pure love. The figure lay on her, and she felt its weight. She could move her arm and felt a broad, muscular back. She asked the figure telepathically who it was, but it vanished before she could get an answer. Evelyn never forgot the feeling of unconditional love and wished for the figure’s return.
Art reiterates the night’s themes: sexual encounters with entities, monster encounters, and predictions for significant events in the next six weeks. He emphasizes the rarity and reluctance of people reporting such encounters.
A caller from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, shares a story he heard on Paul Harvey about a bouncer in London found stabbed to death in a pool of non-human blood. Art explains that Scotland Yard could only determine that the blood was not human and had to send samples to the U.S. for further analysis. The caller and Art discuss the possibilities, including the victim being non-human or animal blood being used to mislead investigators.
Art takes a call from New York. The caller discusses a friend who had a spiritual relationship with what she believed to be Napoleon. This ongoing relationship started positively but later became problematic, affecting her daily life and schoolwork. Art expresses surprise at the story and suggests that the caller encourage her friend to call the show to share more details.
Next, Diane from Missoula, Montana, calls in, initially planning to talk about an attack but then inspired to try an out-of-body experience to visit a man she has a crush on. She shares a previous encounter where she woke up with bruises on her thighs after a lucid attack in Idaho Falls. Diane describes the experience of feeling pressure on her chest and being pulled out of bed, sensing a figure wearing a thigh-length leather coat.
Art continues with Diane’s call from Missoula, Montana, who describes an out-of-body experience (OBE) where she was lifted from her bed while camping in a motorhome. Diane felt a presence and could see a figure in a thigh-length leather coat. She was partially lifted and her arm was reaching out, feeling as if she would have been dragged away had she not woken up. Diane humorously mentions she plans to use OBE to visit a man she is interested in, as she can’t pursue him in real life due to workplace constraints.
Art then talks to another caller from Missouri who shares a strange experience from 12 years ago in a San Diego hotel. While she and her husband were sleeping, she felt herself being lifted from the bed. She could only move her hand and was rising slowly towards the ceiling, with the blanket coming off her husband and lifting with her. She describes the sensation as if a wind was lifting her. Just before hitting the ceiling, she found herself back in bed, and her husband was still deeply asleep. Art suggests this might have been an out-of-body experience, though the physical characteristic of the blanket being lifted complicates the classification.
Next, a caller from Sedona, Arizona, describes an unusual sighting while walking towards a creek with a friend. They saw something waist-high below them that their brains couldn’t compute, likening it to how a bird tilts its head in confusion when observing something unfamiliar.
The caller from Sedona, Arizona, continues to describe her strange encounter. She saw a small being with a black cloak that was the deepest, darkest black imaginable, with flecks of brilliant autumn colors. The being had hair that stuck out like it had received an electric shock, was reddish in color, and had a face that was a mix between a pig snout and a wolf, with very close-set eyes and a mouth with animal features. Its hand was grayish-green, with only three broad, thick fingers that looked like they had severe arthritis. The being was bent down, swirling in the water, and when it looked up at her, it opened its mouth and stared with big eyes, causing her heart to race.
Frightened, she grabbed her friend, and they walked away quickly. They both saw the same thing and decided to return, expecting the being to be gone. Instead, they found a beautiful woman sitting in the lotus position, surrounded by the same autumn colors. The woman had a serene, angelic voice and invited them to sit with her. They sat cross-legged and experienced a lapse in time, unable to remember what she said to them.
Later, the caller spoke to an Indian girl who mentioned that what she saw might be the “keepers” described in ancient lore, guardians between dimensional levels, which haven’t been seen for generations.
Art reflects on the previous caller’s story about the serene experience with the mysterious woman by the creek. He questions whether the feelings of warmth and love reported during encounters with entities might be a form of mental control, similar to a narcotic, masking the true nature of the events. Art suggests that such positive experiences could be an illusion designed to keep people calm, and he recommends regression therapy for those who want to uncover the truth about their encounters.
The show continues with an email from a listener who describes a disturbing experience. The listener used to drink every evening until one night they went to bed and had terrible dreams of monsters. They woke up on the floor in pain, with a black eye and marks on their cheek, and realized they had been sexually assaulted. The only other person in the house was their daughter, who was safely asleep. The listener saw glimpses of demons over the next few days and believes excessive drinking made them vulnerable to a demon attack. This incident led them to quit drinking.
A caller from Memphis, Tennessee, shares their experiences with involuntary out-of-body experiences (OBEs) since childhood. They describe being in control during these OBEs, sometimes hearing their roommates speaking languages they don’t understand. The caller asks if it’s possible to be murdered during an astral projection. Art mentions that researchers typically believe one would return to their body immediately if such a threat occurred, but he hasn’t heard of anyone being killed during an OBE.
The caller from Memphis, Tennessee, continues discussing her disturbing experiences, explaining that she has witnessed what she believes to be murders on the astral plane, connected to a young man she knows in real life. She describes this person as a wicked individual, possibly believing himself to be the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley, and she feels they are in some form of psychic warfare. Art advises caution and mentions that researchers generally believe that one is safe on the astral plane, though he personally has reservations about this assurance.
The caller asks if someone can kill your soul during an astral projection and how it affects daily life. Art reiterates the common belief that if something terrible happens on the astral plane, one would immediately snap back into their body, but he remains skeptical. He points out that many people die in their sleep, suggesting it might be related to astral events.
The caller warns about seeking sexual or emotional gratification through astral projection, noting it can open doors to powerful negative forces. Art agrees, emphasizing that astral sex is not necessarily safe and may expose individuals to unforeseen dangers.
A new caller observes that many women have shared strange erotic experiences but fewer men have called in with similar stories. Art explains that once a topic gains traction, people who felt alone in their experiences are more willing to speak up. The caller expresses relief in hearing others’ stories, feeling less isolated in her own experiences.
A caller shares a chilling story about an encounter she had in a vacation cabin in the hills. Unable to sleep, she used a CB radio to talk with neighbors. A low, ancient-sounding voice interrupted the conversation, telling her it had been waiting for her. The voice instructed her to switch channels, and then to close her eyes. Reluctantly, she complied and felt herself being mesmerized. The voice began to guide her into a trance-like state, using words her grandmother used to say when putting her to sleep.
Suddenly, she found herself face-to-face with a creature in her living room. The creature, which she describes as a werewolf, raped her while she was in a hypnotic state. She felt mentally manipulated to find the creature desirable. This traumatic experience left her mentally disturbed for several days.
Art connects this story to earlier discussions about out-of-body experiences and astral travel, noting the increasing evidence suggesting a link between such phenomena and these disturbing encounters. The caller describes the werewolf referring to himself as “Wolf Man” and notes that her CB radio was broadcasting the entire incident. Nearby listeners would have heard everything, and she wonders if anyone recorded it, though she is humiliated by the thought.
Art relates this to the story from earlier about the bouncer in London found in a pool of non-human blood, speculating about the possible existence of werewolves. The caller is left grappling with the horrifying experience, unsure of what exactly happened but deeply affected by it.
The caller continues her story about the strange and terrifying encounter with the werewolf-like creature that assaulted her while she was on her CB radio. After the attack, she felt a powerful post-hypnotic suggestion compelling her to find the creature again, which led to her searching the radio channels obsessively. This resulted in a mental breakdown for several days. Eventually, she found someone who seemed to know about the creature, but the conversation only deepened her obsession.
Art transitions to another first-time caller from New York who shares their experiences with out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and spiritual encounters. This caller, who is a music teacher, explains that she has been able to command spirits and protect herself through years of grounding and learning. She recounts her extraordinary abilities from a young age, including detailed recollections of events that happened when she was a baby, which her family confirmed.
The caller also discusses a man at her workplace who struggles with substance abuse and has a negative presence. Art notes that alcohol often seems to open doors for negative spiritual encounters, echoing earlier emails and stories shared by listeners. The caller agrees, explaining that this man’s behavior becomes more troubling when influenced by alcohol, and she has had to be the mature one, maintaining peace in the workplace despite his advances.
The caller continues her story about dealing with a negative presence that escalated to dangerous levels. She recounts a specific incident where she woke up struggling to fend off an intruding presence that seemed to lay on top of her. She had to verbally command it to leave, which was a struggle due to the strength of the experience. This terrifying event led her to recall other similar experiences she had blocked from memory.
Another caller shares his story about a “guardian ghost” named George, a family ghost that followed him after he moved out of his parents’ house. George, who was generally mischievous, became more aggressive towards the caller’s girlfriends, scaring them by manipulating electricity and even pinning them down. The caller’s ex-fiancé frequently experienced paralyzing fear at night, eventually leading to their breakup. Interestingly, after the breakup, the encounters with George ceased.
Art then takes a call from Elena in New Haven, Connecticut, who describes being frequently attacked in her sleep by an evil entity that tickles her violently, which feels like a violation. She hears a demonic laugh and once heard the entity taunting her. Despite feeling terrified, she forces herself to wake up, recognizing it as more than just a nightmare.
Art reflects on these experiences, emphasizing that out-of-body experiences and astral travel have both positive and negative aspects, challenging the commonly held belief among researchers that such experiences are always safe and positive.
The caller from Salt Lake City shares a childhood experience of seeing small creatures coming out of his closet and pulling the blanket off his bed. His sisters would scold him, thinking he was kicking the covers off, but he remembers the creatures vividly. As he grew older, he experienced sleep paralysis, feeling unable to move or breathe, and sometimes waking up with scratches on his chest. Art acknowledges these experiences, suggesting that things we don’t see are still very real and significant.
Next, a caller makes a prediction about the Gulf Stream shifting, referencing Art’s book “The Coming Global Superstorm.” The caller fears the prediction may be coming true, noting that the North Atlantic Drift has slowed by 40%, which could lead to colder weather in Europe. Art mentions an upcoming made-for-television movie and major motion picture based on his book, directed by Roland Emmerich, who did “Independence Day.”
