October 31, 1997: Ghost To Ghost 1997 - Night 2
Callers deliver a wide range of chilling accounts. A woman in Kansas City describes a spirit peeking its head and shoulders out of a bedroom closet, only for her boyfriend to casually identify it as a friendly presence. A former security guard at O'Hare Airport recounts how his roommates attempted to summon a demon using a protective circle, and after he sarcastically demanded a sign from the devil, a broken radio sealed inside a locked footlocker began playing on its own. A truck driver in Memphis describes a presence sitting on his waterbed and grabbing his ankle. From Vancouver, a caller shares years of terrifying activity in a home once occupied by three generations practicing voodoo, so severe that a priest refused to enter.
Art poses a thought-provoking question throughout the night: if you woke up dead and found yourself invisible among the living, what would you do? Callers respond with answers that illuminate exactly why departed spirits behave the way witnesses describe them.
Key Moments
Caller: dying grandmother who tickled and cooed: A caller as a small child gets his roller skates tangled and is left on the porch crying. A curtain across a closet opens and a smiling old woman in a brooch walks out, silently helps him out of the skates, ties his shoes, tickles him under the chin and makes a cooing sound, then walks back into the empty closet. Years later he sees her in his father's WWII photo - his paternal grandmother, who at her death had cancer in her throat that took her voice.
Art: trapped souls would be a living hell: After the cooing-grandmother story, Art reflects that he prefers to think of ghosts as weak echoes rather than trapped souls - but that proactive encounters like this one suggest souls really do remain on Earth in some cases, and that being trapped here eternally would in fact be a living hell.
