About the show

In the first half of the show, retired healthcare professional Dr. Scott Guerin discussed his book, Looking for Angels, and an international study that showed 75% of participants professed a belief in angels, and of those, 36% believed they'd had an angelic encounter. As part of that, he related various encounters with angels, including Carlos Santana's encounter with what may have been the angel Metatron, before moving on to angel lore and other angelic encounters. He said the angel study was an important component of his book. “We put that together right at the beginning of developing the book,” he told George. While that 75% belief rate reflects attitudes about angels seen across the United States, it isn’t the same around the world. In fact, the U.S. leads the Christian world in belief of angels, according to Guerin. “In other parts of the world, it’s less than that. But [with] Islam, actually, belief in angels is one of the five pillars of faith. You have to believe in angels. So, the Muslim community, obviously, (scores) very high.”

Guerin talked about his own spiritual journey as well, including meeting his spirit animal and developing his sense of psychic intuition. He also shared some of the stories from his book, such as a woman who, angry at her husband, went out for a run. During her run, she had an encounter with another fitness buff who gave her unsolicited advice without being told about her situation, which matched what had been on her mind before he joined her and urged her to “try forgiveness.” Several callers reached out to share their own angelic experiences and asked questions toward the end of Dr. Guerin's segment.

Some cryptid researchers operate on the premise that they are tracking a flesh and blood creature – one that hasn't been cataloged yet but otherwise operates on the same level as other biological creatures. Then there are those who believe that Bigfoot and other cryptids may be a little more supernatural. Jessica Jones, the self-styled Cryptid Huntress, falls into this second camp, describing herself as "proudly" on the "woo" end of the spectrum. She explained to George in the second half of the show how experiences like being tripped by an invisible Bigfoot helped led her to this more esoteric view. She also discussed UFO and other paranormal experiences occurring in conjunction with Bigfoot sightings, and her use of remote viewing in her search for unknown creatures.

“I’ve always had a connection to the paranormal, ever since I was a little kid,” Jones explained. “When I was a kid, I used to see ghosts, and I would take my little nap mat out to the front yard… and I would look for UFOs at night.” As she grew older, she noted, these experiences continued until “it just kind of came across my path one day to become a Bigfoot field researcher.” She began doing Bigfoot field research in 2011, working across the South, mostly in Georgia. Alabama and surrounding states. She said while Bigfoot is the main focus, her groups have also investigated Dogman sightings and even reports of what may have possibly been a Wendigo – though she acknowledged the cannibal of Algonquin legend was far outside its legendary range in the American South.

George closed the evening by sharing a segment from his February 17, 2015, show when Wes Germer discussed his experience being surrounded by a group of Bigfoot.
