April 3, 2002: Ghost Investigators Society: Brendan Cook & Barbara McBeath

Art Bell welcomes Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society to present electronic voice phenomena recordings captured during cemetery and private residence investigations. The nonprofit organization follows strict protocols, using only brand new, unopened microcassette tapes and external microphones to eliminate any possibility of recording over previous material. The EVP samples range from a child's voice saying "good idea" during a homeowner's account of ghostly activ...

April 2, 2002: Proof of Life on the Other Side - Dr. Gary Schwartz

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Gary Schwartz , a Harvard-trained professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, to discuss his groundbreaking research into the survival of consciousness after death. Dr. Schwartz explains how the principles of astrophysics and feedback systems in nature suggest that human consciousness, like starlight from distant stars, continues indefinitely after the body dies. The conversation centers on controlled laboratory experiments conducted at Canyon Ranch with mediums i...

February 22, 2002: The Billy Meier UFO Case - Michael Horn | 100 Million Years Old Human Tooth - Steve Smith

Art Bell interviews Steve Smith of Shreveport, Louisiana, whose father discovered a human tooth inside a geological core sample in 1948. The sample came from 4,300 feet below the surface near Haynesville, Louisiana, in a layer known as the Gloyd limestone rift, which geologists date to approximately 100 million years ago. Three separate dentists confirmed the artifact is a child's bicuspid tooth, now blackened from fossilization yet still retaining glossy enamel. Smith's father, a geology gradua...
