October 31, 2001: Ghost to Ghost 2001
The stories range from deeply personal to outright bizarre. A caller describes a ghost cat that rubbed against campers' legs before a hand passed straight through it. A Cherokee reenactor recounts a terrifying night surrounded by phantom war drums at an old Civil War fort. A sheriff's deputy shares how a deceased resident's ghost still thumps the floor of the condo where he died, directly above the spot where his body was found.
Art reflects on whether animals possess souls, whether the living can project spirits of their own, and why the very young and very old seem most attuned to the other side of the veil.
