October 24, 2001: Electronic Voice Phenomena - Ghost Investigators Society

Art Bell welcomes Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society to present recordings of Electronic Voice Phenomena captured at a decommissioned prison in Rawlins, Wyoming. Using brand new, never-recorded-on tapes and external microphones under strict controls, the team documents whispered voices and unexplained sounds from cellblocks, the death house, and the gas chamber area of the century-old facility.

The recordings include a voice saying "Dr. Whitehead," another declaring "I'm always walking" near a cell where a prisoner paced for over forty years, and a chilling scream captured at the spot where inmates threw a fellow prisoner from the fourth tier. Art notes that all four of his cats react strongly to certain recordings, and listeners report similar animal responses. The team explains that EVP research dates back to the 1920s, with pioneers including Thomas Edison, who was working on a device to communicate with the dead at the time of his passing.

The first hour features open lines, with callers discussing shadow people, the random number generator experiments, and twin psychic connections. Art previews Friday's upcoming show challenging listeners to think outside the box about winning the war on terrorism.
