Show Notes
Art Bell hosts the inaugural Ghost to Ghost broadcast on the eve of Halloween 1993, opening the phone lines for callers across North America to share their real-life encounters with ghosts, spirits, and the unexplained.
Art Bell sets the tone with a newspaper account of spectral sightings at the U.S. Capitol Building and the haunted Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah, Nevada, where a murdered woman known as the Lady in Red reportedly activates disconnected Keno boards and appears to guests as a headless apparition. Callers deliver a remarkable procession of stories: a Victorian house in Provincetown, Massachusetts, built from shipwreck lumber that harbors restless poltergeist activity; a Marine sniper in Grenada visited by his Civil War-era ancestor who mysteriously freezes his shattered leg on the battlefield; a woman in Alameda, California, whose household discovers a shared haunting tied to a deceased brother no one knew had died. Art Bell reflects on each account as potential evidence of life after death and warns against Ouija board experimentation after multiple callers describe disturbing consequences.
A foundational episode that launched one of the most beloved annual traditions in late-night radio history.
