Essential Art Bell Episodes About Exorcism and the Occult
Exorcism and the occult brought a different kind of fear into Art Bell's archive: not distant lights or hidden agencies, but moral and spiritual danger. Father Malachi Martin's appearances gave the topic unusual gravity, while later episodes connected possession, evil, Nephilim lore, Catholicism, and occult practice to the broader paranormal landscape. These episodes cover the major exorcism and occult thread without pretending the subject is simple or uniform. Related links point toward ghost stories, EVP, shadow people, Evelyn Paglini, and other spiritual-paranormal collections for listeners who want adjacent material across the archive.
