George Noory – From “Coast to Coast” to the Edge of Reality

GN: I did have a strange occurrence many years ago when I had a Ouija board in the studio and everything shut down: my computers, the lights on my audio board—everything. I had my producer take the board out and then everything went back on again. That has probably been about the strangest thing that has happened.

VM: Is there any one caller that stands out as being the most “out there?”

GN: There was one guy who had called and said he was really close to suicide. He was telling me what had happened and why he had changed his mind. And he got in his car and just kept driving until he got to a small town where he saw a little lake, a park bench and ducks flying in and out. He said to himself, I am going to sit there and this is where I want to end my life. While he was sitting on this bench contemplating, a farmer sat down next to him, an old guy in coveralls. They just started talking and he said, “After about an hour, I felt great about myself. I thanked the guy; he saved my life.”

[Leading to this experience,] his life was a mess—he didn’t like his job and he had broken up with his girlfriend. After about a year, he had new job, a new relationship, and he felt great about himself. He wanted to go back and thank this guy.

So he went back to the town, though he did not get the man’s last name. But he figured that it’s a little city and thought, “I will go to the barber shop; maybe they know who he is.” He said, “When I walked in and asked the barber [if he knew this man] the barber said, ‘Yes, just go to the top of the hill on the right [there’s a house] and his daughter is there.’”

So he did. But the way the barber had said it [made it seem like] something might have been wrong. So he got to the house, knocked on the door and this young woman came to the door. He said, “Excuse me, but are you the daughter of so and so?” And she said, “Yes.” He said, “I just want to thank him because a year ago, when I was in a very bad state, he helped and I want to thank him.” And she said, “Stop right there, because you’re the fifth person to come up to my house and say that and Dad died 15 years ago.” It was just chilling. But we have had all kinds of calls like that.
