February 22, 2002: Open Lines - Entity Attacks

Art Bell dedicates Friday night open lines to reports of entity attacks, a subject that has generated an overwhelming response since a previous broadcast and his recent interview with Robert Bruce. Callers flood the lines with accounts of shadow people, psychic vampires, and physical assaults by unseen forces. A truck driver near Albany, Georgia describes a muscular, hairless creature running on all fours at 60 miles per hour across a highway, matching no known animal. A Pennsylvania man recounts a woman materializing in front of his car who began vibrating rapidly before vanishing entirely.

One caller describes a gorgeous woman in a Los Angeles restaurant who appeared to drain his life force from across the room, leaving him visibly pale and slumped over. Another shares how an entity impersonated his doctor in a hospital room, instructing him to walk on a freshly operated leg in an apparent attempt to rupture his stitches. A Canadian listener reports a shadow figure that paralyzed him in bed and burned his neck, only retreating when he mentally confronted it with determination rather than fear.

Art weaves in breaking news throughout the night, including a 5.2 magnitude earthquake near San Diego, the approaching seismic window predicted weeks earlier, and a Nature journal article warning that disrupted ocean currents could plunge Europe into an ice age.
