October 31, 2010: Ghost to Ghost 2010
Callers deliver a steady stream of eerie accounts. A ham radio operators family hears their deceased father making scheduled contacts on his radio days after his death. A woman describes a ghostly figure standing over her bed that vanished when she reached for it. Multiple callers recount encounters with apparitions of relatives who appeared at the moment of their passing, sometimes hundreds of miles away. One caller shares the story of a house where every new owner experiences identical paranormal disturbances.
Art reads emailed ghost stories between calls, including accounts of shadow figures, disembodied voices, and objects moving on their own. Throughout the evening, he enforces his traditional rules: one story per caller, short and scary, with only the most chilling accounts making it to air. The show captures the communal spirit of listeners gathering in the dark to share their most unsettling experiences.
