Across the UK, across Continental North America, and around the world on the internet, by webcast and podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the unexplained.

Thank you for coming back to the show, and also thank you for the very good response we had to our Gary Patterson, the expert on rock and roll myths, legends, conspiracy theories, ghosts, and other weird stuff.

Gary's working on a couple of things for me at the moment.

And one of those I can tell you is a possible interview with Peggy Sue, the real-life Peggy Sue who was the subject of Buddy Holly's song of that name.

Now she believes that all these decades after his death, he is communicating with her.

So as you know, if you hear that show, and it's still available on archive, Buddy Holly is a common theme in the lives and depths of so many people in the world of rock, it is weird.

It seems to go way, way beyond coincidence, but you've got to listen to the show to know what I'm talking about.

So we're going to try and find out from Peggy Sue what this deal is all about.

Now the guess this time is somebody that I've known for about 20 years or more. His name is Christian Dion.

And I first heard Christian on a local radio station in the northwest of England, and I thought this guy's really good. He's a medium.

But an incredible medium. I mean, he's psychic to the stars now in Los Angeles, lived in the UK for many years, decided to move to America and start working there.

And he's doing very well at the moment. But the guy, when I went to interview him at his parents' home in Blackpool back in the 80s, I was a student broadcaster.

I took my little machine there, and I started asking him questions and we did an interview, and that was fine. And at the end he said,

Now I'm going to do a reading for you. Now I didn't go there to get a reading, and I wasn't even sure whether I wanted one, but I let him do it.

And the character analysis of me for the time was amazing. He couldn't possibly have known the things that he told me about myself.

He couldn't, because when you go into do a thing as a journalist, you don't give much away about yourself. It's not about you. It's about the person you're going to talk to.

So he couldn't have known those things that was interesting.

What was also interesting was the predictions he made for me, which at the beginning did not come true.

And I don't think I wrote him off. I just thought, well, he was on an off day. He didn't get it right that time.

But the point of the story is, seven years later I was sitting at a radio studio in London about to read my first National Newscast.

Now I was doing it in the middle of a talk program, and opposite me as I was quite nervously sitting there waiting to go on the air with the news.

There was somebody I thought I recognized. And the seconds were ticking down to the top of the hour and the news and the commercials were still playing up to the top of the hour.
