Best Bigfoot Stories of 2019:
Bigfoot towered over its cryptid counterparts in 2019, making headlines throughout the year. Whether it was by way of eyewitness sightings, intriguing tracks, or hard-to-decipher visual evidence, Sasquatch seemingly wasn't quite as elusive as its reputation suggests. And, beyond potential encounters with the creature, Bigfoot also found its way into a number of rather unique stories involving the Indian Army, the FBI, various law enforcement agencies, the Royal Australian Mint, and even on ESPN.

Hollywood Films:
Oscar nominee Nicholas Meyer joined guest host Ian Punnett (Twitter) in the first half on Friday to discuss his successful screenwriting and directing career as well as his new work writing Sherlock Holmes novels. He began by telling Ian that he doesn’t care which medium he tells a story but that he knows he’s done a good job if "once I have told it to you, you know why I wanted to tell it to tell it you." Meyer recalled his involvement with the second Star Trek film ("Wrath of Khan") and how he was assigned to cobble together a screenplay based on five previous drafts. He said that there was short deadline because George Lucas’ ILM effects company said they couldn’t do the effects by the release date unless they had a script in that time. He completed the draft in 12 days. Read the full story here.

Open Lines:
Friday’s Open Lines began with Michael in Virginia, who called Coast to Coast "the most interactive broadcast in America" and expressed his opinion that it could have stopped the spread of Nazism if it existed before the Second World War. Phillip called from Washington State with his opinion that anti-war activists are not pacifists, but promoting "a different form of isolationism." Steve in New York City said that he has "chip in my body that tracks my every movement." He also thinks that "the government is downloading everybody’s thoughts all over the Earth" with similar technology. Jim in Michigan told of a "miracle " he owned that was found by complete happenstance abandoned by the side of a road and lived for 16 more years. See the rest here.

bizarre
Over the course of the year, without fail, there are strange stories that come along that leave us scratching our heads long after they've appeared on the Coast website. In 2019, we were mystified by an out-of-place humpback whale found in the middle of the Amazon jungle, an odd sculpture unearthed in North Carolina, and a set of seemingly cremated remains inexplicably left on the hood of a car in Seattle. Check out this collection of 10 questions from the past year that we still want answered here.
Today in Strangeness:
On December 28, 1849, dry-cleaning was accidentally discovered when M. Jolly-Bellin, a tailor, knocked over a lamp containing turpentine and oil. Some spilled on his clothes and he noticed it had a cleaning effect. Elizabeth Jordan Carr, America's first test-tube baby, was born on this day in 1981.

This past year had more than it's fair share of strange incidents, nefarious ne'er-do-wells, and foolhardy misadventures that ultimately required the attention of law enforcement. With that in mind, here is the 2019 installment of C2C's proverbial police log that we've come to call the Bizarre Blotter.
Radionics & Psionics and Tulpa Phenomena:
Charles W. Cosimano is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost experts on psionics and radionics (electromagnetic therapy). He joins Connie Willis (info) tonight to discuss the reasons radionics work, its origins from Dr. Abrams and the future of radionics in everyday life, along with psionics, a science that could be a part of our future technological advancement. Followed by Adele Casales Rocha, who has traveled extensively to over 26 countries and compiled accounts of terrifying and uncanny experiences in both her native country of the Philippines and abroad. She will discuss her research into the paranormal, including the possibility that our thoughts and intentions have the power to manifest in physical form.
