Episode description

Art Bell reports breaking news of volcanic activity threatening the Caribbean island of Montserrat, with scientists estimating an 80 percent chance of a major eruption, prompting calls from residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The volcanic crisis leads Art Bell to replay his recent interview with earth changes prognosticator Gordon Michael Scallion, whose four-quake scenario has seen three of four predicted earthquakes materialize on schedule. Scallion warns that the West Coast faces a seismic event within weeks and notes that volcanic islands flanking Martinique have awakened from dormancy. Callers discuss the power of prayer after an Unsolved Mysteries segment documented a woman whose cancerous lumps vanished over a weekend, supported by double-blind studies showing higher recovery rates among those prayed for. Art Bell questions whether healing comes from an external divine source or the untapped potential of the human mind. The O.J. Simpson trial looms large as the Mark Furman tapes threaten to unravel the prosecution, and the release of Windows 95 sparks consumer frenzy while Art Bell confesses he is too afraid to install it.

A night where geological upheaval and cultural milestones collide in real time.
