October 31, 2003: Ghost to Ghost 2003

Art Bell hosts the 2003 edition of Ghost to Ghost on Halloween night, opening the phones for listeners to share their most frightening supernatural encounters. The program is entirely caller-driven, with no guest, as Art fields stories submitted by email and live calls from across the country.

Callers recount chilling firsthand experiences including a mother who discovered a drowned man on a Galveston beach and later communicated with his spirit, an out-of-body experience that revealed a ghostly dog tied to a tragic murder-suicide, and a nursing home where Alzheimer's patients repeatedly reported seeing the ghost of a young boy. A former Marine stationed in Hawaii describes hearing voices near a guard post where a fellow MP had taken his own life, while a woman in Houston recalls violent pounding from the spirits of a couple who died in her friend's brand-new home.

A striking pattern emerges throughout the broadcast as an unusual number of stories involve suicides, leading Art to observe that those who take their own lives appear condemned to remain at the site of their death, possibly repeating their final moments. Other callers share messages received from deceased loved ones, from a watchmaker who stopped a new watch to a father who sent signs through Oscar Mayer memorabilia.
