Speaker 1: highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeart Radio. Let's

00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,280

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to Lisa and Branson, Missouri. You're up next. Hello, Lisa,

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: you're up. Hi. Hi. Okay. So I'm driving this late

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: at night, but I turned on the radio and heard

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: you guys, and I used to listen to you all

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: the time. Um, I've always had a question, and I've

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: never been alone so that I can actually talk to

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: anybody about it. But when I was young, uh, just

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: a child from I mean my earliest memories. I had

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: an entity that was always near me. Always didn't have

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: a name, no, no name, never spoke to me, never anything.

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Um um that six foot two. It was a man,

25
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: a man no faith. No, I mean it had I

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: mean it had a head, but there was no face

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: on it, like if you've ever seen those dolls with

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: no thing, you know, no eyes, no nose, just nothing. Um.

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: He always wore a red shirt and blue jeans. Um.

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: And I would tell my mom about it, and she

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: was just like, oh, well, don't worry about it. Just

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. And I said, I don't worry

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: about it because like typically, if if I was doing

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: something I wasn't supposed to be doing, I'd look up

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: as there he was, and um, I knew, oh I

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: better not do that, or um if I felt fear

37
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: I could look, I knew he was there. I knew

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: that this institute was always there. And then as I

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: got older, I started um discounting it, you know, because

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: you grow older and you find out that Santa Claus

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: isn't real and all this other stuff. You know, you

42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't believe in this and you shouldn't do that. So

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: I started pushing this this image aside. But I knew that,

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I knew that there was still something watching me. Always

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: it was it was it evil. No, no, no, no,

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the heat. This is the most comforting being I could

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: ever have. You know, when I was younger, we also

48
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: went to church, and I equated it at the time

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: with an angel, like, Okay, so I have these angels

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: and I happen to be able to see mine. Um.

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Now he it would never speak to me, it would never,

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: but there was always um comfort. It was always He's there.

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: And so as I've grown older and had children and

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: had grandchildren, now um, I still have. I mean, it's

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: so odd that there are times that I just looked

56
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: to the side because I feel like, oh, he's right there.

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Well you know, well Lisa, really quick, because we're at

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: the end of the show. But what I find interesting

59
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: about that is if your children came to you, or

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: you heard a child relating a story like this, the

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: last thing you would say is it's your imagination. Oh yeah, no.

62
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: My mother never told me. In fact, before she passed away,

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: she told me he's all right, right, it's okay. Um,

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: And my great grandmother had said the same thing for

65
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: me not to believe what everybody said, to just trust

66
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: in what I know. And I had never told her

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: about it. But my question is to I guess the world, Um,

68
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: does anybody else have things like that? I mean, just

69
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm in my forties now, this is so real to

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: me that, um, I couldn't imagine my life without knowing. Yes,

71
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going to do some really horrific things

72
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: in my life. And we've always been a comfort, right right, right, Yeah,

73
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean I do. I think it's I don't think

74
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: it's abnormal. And the fascinating thing is and just like

75
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: you said at the beginning of the phone call, that

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: you finally have a way to share it, and and

77
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 1: you've you've just shared it with like a million people

78
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: at the same time. So when you did it, you

79
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: didn't play around. But um, I think more if more

80
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: people opened up about it, you know, and they listen

81
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: to you, you know, call in and they say to themselves, well,

82
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I guess we would hear more. And

83
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: and I think that I'm not going to say that

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: it's normal, but I think that a lot of people

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: have these experiences. I haven't not quite like that, but

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I've probably had stranger things. But you know what I found,

87
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: what I what I've realized now is that I felt

88
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: more peaceful when I was younger with this entity. And

89
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: then when I started growing up and shutting it down

90
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: and forcing myself not to see it, then I wasn't

91
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: a peaceful in my life. But when I opened my

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: my awareness of I'm not the only one here, that

93
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: we're not the only one. There are greater entities and

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: for some reason they're they're here to help, at least

95
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: from my perspective. Um, even when I've had traumatic things,

96
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: if we would just open our minds to the fact

97
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: that that we have some sort of power too to

98
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: guide us, something that's that's trying to guide us. Uh,

99
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what you call that entity right now, Lisa,

100
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, and and thank you for the phone

101

Speaker 1: it never happened. I never had that experience. And you

108
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: hear parents talk about this and you see things, you know,

109
