Art Bell hosts his annual Ghost to Ghost Halloween special, opening the phone lines for unscreened callers to share their scariest true ghost stories. He establishes clear ground rules: one story per caller, first-person accounts preferred, and no cell phones unless necessary. Art also reads select ghost stories emailed by listeners throughout the broadcast, peppering them between calls to keep the atmosphere charged.

Callers deliver a wide range of supernatural encounters, from a woman whose possessed doll terrorized her family with objects moving on their own and plants shaking without explanation, to a man who witnessed a ghostly figure beneath a table in a Bishop, California kitchen. Other stories include encounters with shadow figures, spirits in old houses, and unexplained phenomena in cemeteries. Several callers describe experiences that left lasting psychological impacts, reinforcing Art’s firm belief that consciousness survives physical death.

Art treats the subject with genuine seriousness, noting that life after death and ghostly phenomena rank among the most important topics he covers. Between the chilling accounts, he shares a family Halloween photo with wife Airyn and daughter Asia, reminding listeners that this once-a-year tradition of open-line ghost stories remains one of the most anticipated broadcasts of the season.
