Show Notes

Art Bell hosts his annual Ghost to Ghost Halloween special on a night graced by the first full moon on Halloween since 1955. Listeners from across the country call in with their most unsettling encounters, from a shadowy presence that knocked a man fifteen feet from his cabin doorway in Yosemite to a police officer who watched a translucent old woman materialize in his kitchen at three in the morning.

The stories range from deeply personal to outright bizarre. A caller describes a ghost cat that rubbed against campers' legs before a hand passed straight through it. A Cherokee reenactor recounts a terrifying night surrounded by phantom war drums at an old Civil War fort. A sheriff's deputy shares how a deceased resident's ghost still thumps the floor of the condo where he died, directly above the spot where his body was found.

Art reflects on whether animals possess souls, whether the living can project spirits of their own, and why the very young and very old seem most attuned to the other side of the veil.
