    Seven-foot shadow with yellow eyesA caller reports seeing a seven-foot shadow figure with yellow-orange eyes and later another seven-foot shadow standing over his dog.

Art Bell opens the phone lines for an anything-goes Friday night, introducing a special segment he calls the "I'm Losing My Mind" line for listeners who feel pushed to the edge by modern life. Callers share their frustrations with society, from anxiety attacks to political absurdity, while others recount deeply personal paranormal encounters.

A geologist in his fifties describes a chilling meeting with a stranger at a Starbucks who knew details about his life, warned him not to travel to Alaska in October, and whispered "Love you, Grandpa" before vanishing without a trace. Multiple callers report shadow people encounters, including one man who physically wrestled a dark figure in his basement bedroom and another who watched a seven-foot shadow entity standing over his dog in the kitchen. A woman from Australia admits she can read minds after a lifetime of abduction experiences.

Art reads a published account of shadow people attacks and takes calls ranging from a self-proclaimed vampire struggling with a sudden thirst for blood to a man in Saskatchewan who believes he saw his parents before he was born. The night becomes a vivid cross-section of human strangeness, fear, and wonder.
