Coast To Coast AM - October 1, 2015 Current Events & Strange Texas
In the first half, author and columnist Jerome Corsi reacted to current
events, such as today's shooting at a school in Oregon, as well as
offered analysis on ISIS and situations in the Middle East. The
shootings at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon appear to be
committed by an angry young man who was a loner, and not a student at
the college, though not much else is known about him at this point, he
cited. Yet, the campus was a "gun-free zone"--even the security officers
at the school were not armed, "and clearly one of the issues that
prevents murderers from going on is how quickly law enforcement or
school authorities can respond" to stop a potential shooter, Corsi
remarked. Increasingly, we need to look for warning signs of people that
may be on the verge of violent breakdowns, he added.
The problem
of ISIS is a regional one, and will require some type of local
solution, Corsi said. A lot of their weapons actually come from other
countries (such as the US) who shipped them into the region, and later
they ended up being confiscated by ISIS for use in a very violent
capacity. Commenting on the 2016 presidential race, Corsi said voters
are making clear they're most interested in outsider candidates at this
time. He also spoke about new regulations for financial services, in
which advisors must avoid giving out recommendations that they stand to
financially benefit from.

In
the latter half, writer, travel blogger, and photographer, Tui Snider
discussed the quirky sites, overlooked history, cultural traditions, and
haunted lore of Texas. Over in Eastland County, an embalmed lizard,
'Old Rip,' is on display in a small velvet-lined casket at the
courthouse. The toad, she explained, was buried alive in the building's
cornerstone for 31 years, and was revived when the cornerstone was
re-opened to make way for a new one. Looking into the town of Jefferson,
Snider uncovered that Steven Spielberg had a disturbing experience
while staying at the Excelsior House Hotel, where he saw the ghost of a
little boy standing at his bed. It's said that this episode may have
inspired the movie Poltergeist.
Snider talked about her work
developing a field guide to historic cemetery symbols, and strange
acronyms on headstones. One of the more interesting monuments, she
noted, is what people call "The Jesus in Cowboy Boots," seen in a
cemetery in Paris, Texas. She has also looked into a strange grave
marker in Aurora, Texas, where according to lore, an alien was buried
after it crashed in a UFO in 1897. Snider was speaking to George from
the haunted Miss Molly's-- a hotel in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards
district, that's become a mecca for ghost hunters. For more, check out
this set of intriguing photos she shared with us.
