Art Bell opens the Friday night phone lines, dedicating a special line to callers who believe they recall their past lives. Inspired by the previous evening's past life regression episode with Gregory Paxson, Art invites listeners to share their own experiences of prior incarnations. Callers describe vivid memories ranging from Greek coastal cities destroyed by walls of water to Spanish village squares recognized from recurring Navy dreams.
A retired airline pilot recounts childhood deja vu in 1950s San Jose, where he inexplicably knew the layout of small Southern towns he had never visited. A woman in California details a dream-state download revealing her life as a 1940s band singer in Chicago, later confirmed through online research. A Canadian caller shares a moving story about his father, who clinically died in a nursing home but returned, telling his mother he had been sent back for her.
Between calls, Art discusses the Keystone XL pipeline decision, the Russian passenger jet explosion in Egypt, and an Area 51 worker's compensation case. He also shares the saga of Abby Normal, a mysterious mouse that visited his desert studio and vanished without touching the peanut butter bait left overnight.
