The program transitions into its annual Ghost to Ghost tradition, beginning with WTAM Cleveland sports reporter Mark Schwab, who recounts his harrowing experience in a rented Florida house where alarm clocks activated on their own, footsteps approached his bed, a night light flashed inexplicably, and a paranormal expert identified two spirits flanking him on live radio. A second guest, Todd, describes living in the late actor J.T. Walsh's home, where locked doors, cigarette smoke from empty rooms, and a shaking bed became nightly occurrences.
Art then opens the lines for listener ghost stories, including an EVP recording captured at a reportedly haunted apartment and accounts of phantom touches and objects moving on their own. The stories range from protective spirits to deeply unsettling encounters, each told by callers who insist on the reality of their experiences.
Key Moments
Nisqually quake rocks the Pacific Northwest: Art opens with breaking news of the 6.8-magnitude Nisqually earthquake that hit Seattle and Olympia, knocking out power, cracking the state capitol dome, and briefly trapping people atop the Space Needle.
Berkland: quake hit a predicted seismic window: Geologist Jim Berkland tells Art the Nisqually quake landed inside a predicted tidal 'window,' noting 10 of 11 magnitude 6.6+ quakes this year have fallen in such windows, and that a shallower depth could have killed a thousand people.
Mark Schwab introduced: the haunted spring-training house: Art introduces WTAM Cleveland sports reporter Mark Schwab, who was sent to Winter Haven, Florida to cover Indians spring training and ended up living in a rented country-club house his station shared with show hosts.
Schwab: 3:04 a.m. alarm clock and footsteps: Schwab describes a clock he had never touched going off at 3:04 a.m. in an unused bedroom, then hearing footsteps pacing the hallway and living room while every door in the house was locked from inside.
Schwab: footsteps walk to the bedside: Lying in bed with eyes closed, Schwab swears he heard footsteps walk down the hallway, into his bedroom, and right up to the side of the bed; he opened his eyes to an empty room and grabbed a clothes iron as the only weapon he could find.
