Back in the late 90's, I discovered the radio DJ Art Bell after a co-worker told me about his show on various AM stations. At the time he was hosting Coast To Coast AM, a paranormal themed radio program where he discussed various topics such as UFO's, aliens, ghosts, cryptids like Mothman, witchcraft, psychic abilities, etc., as well as interviewing special guests such as paranormal investigators, scientists, authors, etc. I used to love staying up late and listening to his shows, though sometimes I found them particularly creepy (such as the ones where he played alleged EVP's). Every Halloween he would host a special program called Ghost To Ghost, where he would have listeners call in and tell their spooky ghost stories. He eventually left Coast To Coast but came back to host various other programs where he talked about the same subject matter, two in particular called Dark Matter and Midnight In The Desert. Art passed away in 2018, but left a wonderful legacy and thousands of hours worth of his radio broadcasts. Many of them have been uploaded on YouTube, and I've been spending this last year listening to them on my headphones. His shows are always entertaining, enlightening and spooky. Art was one of a kind, and in my opinion, a talk radio legend. In the spirit of Halloween (which he claimed was one of his favorite holidays), here are some links to some of those broadcasts.
EVP's WITH BRENDAN COOK & JIMMY CHUNGA
On this broadcast, Art's guests bring in their various EVP recordings from their investigations and play them on the air. There is some cool, spooky stuff to be heard here.
TRAVIS WALTON INTERVIEW
On this show, Art interviews Travis Walton, the famous alien abductee from Arizona, whom the film Fire In The Sky was based on. I found Travis to be a very intelligent, articulate guy. This is a fascinating interview.
GHOST TO GHOST, OCTOBER 30TH, 1993
This is one of his famous Ghost to Ghost broadcasts, filled with callers telling their various spooky stories. These are some of my favorite of his old shows.
EVP's WITH BARBARA MCBEATH & BRENDAN COOK
Another show where his guests bring in their EVP recordings. Spooky and creepy.
AMITYVILLE HORROR CASE WITH GEORGE LUTZ
In this show, Art interviews George Lutz, the father who moved his wife and her children into the infamous home, only to eventually flee, claiming that they were being terrorized by paranormal activity. Most of us are familiar with the Amityville case, with some claiming it was a hoax. This is an interesting interview nonetheless.
SPOOKY MATTER GHOST STORIES, OCTOBER 31, 2013
From his Dark Matter radio show, Art hosts Spooky Matter, his Halloween special where he reads letters from listeners and takes various calls, all telling about their paranormal experiences.
