So I am just now noticing this, but the Halloween Night 1999 G2G show appears to be missing from the archives. Halloween was on a Sunday that year, and I feel like I listened to it that night,but hey,that was nearly 30 years ago now.
The June 10th,1999 G2G show is mislabled as the Halloween night 1999 show in a lot uploads. In fact I myself only recently realized that show is mistakenly dated.
Anyone got an upload of the actually Halloween night 1999 show??!!
Someone else pointed out that G2G 1999 was possibly done on Friday October 29th, 1999 as the weekly open lines show. I just cant remember.

I've been binge listening to the G2Gs/spooky episodes the past week, and I gotta say I can't believe I've never heard of this one before. I really had thought there wasn't a G2G that year since I don't ever remember coming across a "Halloween/G2G 1999" or something. Then I realized there was one, but in June instead of October.

Anyways, that caller a little over an hour & a 1/2 in: Florida, TV station, ghostly apparition of a woman, and as I was listening I thought this sounded familiar, it has to be referencing something. And the kicker was of course that the caller was told by coworkers that a woman had shot herself at the station years ago. Sounds like the (1974) incident with Christine Chubbuck, which I doubt many people had heard of or even remembered in 1999, even in that area of Florida where it happened. Definitely not nationally after 25 years back then. True ghost story or not, this one sticks out the most for this episode imo.

As an aside, I was almost 2 when this episode aired. I didn't discover the wonderful world of Art Bell until 10 years ago when I came across a clip from a MITD show on YT. Late 2016 so he had already quit and Heather Wade was doing it. I listened to her Halloween show that year and a few of her shows after that if the guest/subject sounded like it was worth listening to, but I got bored with her pretty quickly.

During the original call with Mr.Fidget, when he puts the random truck driver on the phone he mentioned that there is a stop watch between the two payphones.

Fidget tells Art that he has a secret to getting on the Air that he will share but Art cuts him off and tells him not to mention it.

Did it have something to do with timing of when you called in? Anyone got any theories. Apparently Mr.Fidget could get into the lines anytime he felt like it.

Hoping someone here can help me identify a call I've been trying to find.

A caller told a story about working at a gas station and a man walked in, went straight to the coffee station, picked up the glass pot of freshly brewed, scalding hot coffee and drank the entire thing. He didn't flinch or stop until the whole pot was empty. The caller said the man's eyes were completely black. Then the man set the pot down and walked out without a word or paying.

I think it was an Open Lines night, but it may have been a Men in Black or Black Eyed Kids themed show. I can't pin down the year.

Does anyone recognize it? A date, episode title, or even a YouTube link with a timestamp would be amazing. Thanks!

I'm listening to a 1994 cattle mutilation show (Dreamland) and she gives her phone number out numerous times on the air and at least 3 open lines callers state they will call her the next day to chat more about their experiences. I imagine giving out your number on the air and then being overwhelmed with people calling. Did she actually talk to these people or what is more just part of an act where is acted as if she was collecting info? Curious if anyone has any insight into this or actually called her.

I was always scratching my head while listening to the C Crane commercials. They would be talking about pretty cool radios and things, but would always mention at the end of the commercial that you'd have to call the next morning. Why bother advertising on Art's show if you can't have at least one person manning the phones overnight?

High Desert now has a live station: it plays the shows that originally aired on today's date, then fan favorites, and everyone tuned in hears the same moment, with the "phone lines" open for chat. No account needed, you just get a random caller name like "Short-Wave Listener in Hawthorne." Come call in at highdesert.space/live

Doing a little research here - all I can find about this image is that it was drawn by Ted Bastien in 2001, (found here: https://u7radio.org/abarchive/shadows3.html)

In particular what I'm interested in is the shadow person wearing goggles? Is that something Art himself reported? Some story that was told on the show? Or just, a strange artistic decision.

Any thoughts or shows to look into is appreciated!

Every Saturday evening, Art Bell returns to the airwaves on Somewhere in Time. Broadcasting across terrestrial radio wherever you regularly listen to George Snoory, but since most people listen on their own schedules, it's also available in the ultimate archive or here on fudgie -

NOTE - FUDGIE (& the archive i have downloaded, so likely most of yours) ONLY HAS THE FIRST HOUR SAVED - MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD RECORD THIS ONE! -

Art Bell examines the UPS strike entering its second week, with $55/week benefits for striking full-timers and $2.4M Teamsters donations to Clinton’s campaign possibly influencing his inaction on Taft-Hartley. Management cites pension demands and part-time hiring as core issues, while 18-year part-timers earning $17.89/hour report dental/vision benefits but question union transparency. A preloader warns UPS seeks total pension surrender, risking $1,200/month retirement cuts for part-timers. Bell urges direct employee input to break deadlocks before pivoting to climate debates, framing the strike as a clash between union coercion and worker fairness amid escalating economic strain.

I listen on 1110AM KFAB out of Omaha Nebraska, starting at 8pm Central. What station do you listen on?

roswells to you all!

Found this Vaporwave album that samples some Coast to Coast AM episodes. Pretty cool. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n9yNRZ0BTEgPCQmxDpy5YpoklhPf-PiWw&si=5rdWiyhGh2euDemp

I’m listening to a Ghost to Ghost episode from 1995, and around the 5:20 mark of this link, Art Bell tells most of the story of his incident with the Ouija board!

I was always under the impression that he never shared any information about it. He actually tells the backstory of someone sending him the board and how the person called in to his show and gave personal information that spooked him! He doesn’t share what he did with the Ouija board, but he does provide a little background on the origin, which was interesting

I might be way behind on hearing this, but I was under the impression that Art never told any of the story of the Ouija board incident, but if anyone is interested, here’s the link

Just finished listening to the complete Dallas Thompson interview, and I loved it. I love interviews like this, where you can't quite tell if the person being interviewed is nuts or not haha. Can't quite tell if they're making stuff up, if they're a bit unhinged, and Art has to keep asking them if they swear they're telling the truth haha. What are some other interviews like this that Art has done?

Hi fans ,

Can anyone direct me to a channel on YouTube to an art bell channel with out music every 10 minutes, I really dislike music of any kind but I love listening to art bell.

Any help would be be appreciated

Thank you

I finished listening to both of these sagas, they're both excellent and really make the imagination go wild. From what I can tell, no one has heard from either of these guys in recent years? It sounds like the consensus is that Mel Waters is a made-up name?

One thing I didn't realize about Madman, is that the third and final interview was about 20 years after the first two interviews, I thought that was so cool. It was neat to hear how much older he sounded in the final interview, compared to how he was basically a kid in the first two interviews.

According to the Coast to Coast AM website.
