December 18, 2001: EVPs - Brendan Cook & Barbara McBeath

Art Bell hosts Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society for a presentation of never-before-heard electronic voice phenomena recordings. The session follows Art's recent interview with Pam Reynolds, a woman who described detailed observations during clinical death with zero brain activity, an experience that Art says has moved him closer to believing in consciousness surviving physical death.

Cook and McBeath play recordings captured on brand-new, never-previously-recorded audio tapes at cemeteries, an abandoned mental hospital, a funeral parlor, and a historic hotel. Highlights include a voice responding "I'm not far" to a request directed at a ghost light nicknamed Parker, a child's voice asking "Do they talk good?" after an investigator's question, and a clear "Yes" responding to a comment about time having no meaning for spirits. At the haunted Ben Lomond Hotel in Ogden, Utah, a woman's voice declares "It's a white night," later identified as possibly referencing a discontinued Mary Kay perfume.

Cook explains that the spirits recorded through EVP appear stuck in this plane of existence rather than having moved on. He advises listeners that personality persists after death, urging people to resolve personal issues during life because mental troubles and unresolved conflicts carry over to the other side.
