Speaker Time Text
unidentified
From the high desert and the great Americans, I bid you all good evening, good morning,
art bell
good afternoon, and welcome.
you To once again, another edition of Midnight in the Desert.
All 25 time zones, I guess there's 25 out there, covered like a blanket by this program.
My name is Art Bell.
Oh boy, Fridays are for fun.
unidentified
But we'll get to that in a minute.
art bell
When I was I was so absorbed, uh, we had a little trouble before the show.
Keith's, uh, zip unit, the zip unit down there.
The way this show is sent, uh, is from here to Keith by what's called a zip unit made by Tello's.
Amazing machines.
And his went belly up.
It just said, I quit.
I die.
And so, um, I actually thought for a while it was not going to be on the air tonight, uh, because it wasn't going to work.
And, um, And then we got it working.
Then I decided, well, I'm going to listen to Year of the Cat because I love this hack so much.
And I got so carried away that I went right past, you know, I did a nice time check at 57 and then zoomed right past the opening by about 10 seconds for the show.
So, that's probably the kind of night it's going to be tonight.
It's open lines.
Now, we have three rules on Friday nights.
No bad language.
One call per show, except at the end.
When we do Fast Blast at the end of the program, all rules... Let's see.
Yeah, what the hell.
All rules go out the window when we do Fast Blast.
So, there you get to say one sentence.
We're going to have a Fast Blast talk tonight.
A special The Talk segment for Fast Blast at the end.
So, let me begin with the news, and then we'll get to the weird, okay?
It obviously was, as I told you the other night, it would turn out to be ISIS-inspired.
Not directed, inspired.
The FBI announced Friday it is investigating the mass shooting at a Southern California office party as an act of terrorism.
But the agency's director said there is no indication that the slain husband and wife who killed 14 were part of a larger plot or members of a terrorist cell, per se.
While authorities did not cite specific evidence that led them to the terrorism focus, U.S.
law enforcement officials revealed the wife
tashfi... uh... tashfeen malik malik it is tashfeen malik
had under a facebook alias pledged allegiance to the islamic state
group and its leader just as she did
as she picked up the gun to shoot people A Facebook official said that Malik praised Islamic State and opposed it.
11 a.m.
Wednesday, that's when all this happened, when the couple were believed to have stormed a San Bernardino social service and opened fire.
So, as I told you on Wednesday, And I tell you again tonight, it's here.
It's in the homeland now.
So... They also destroyed hard drives in the apartment.
They destroyed smashed cell phones.
So obviously trying to get rid of evidence.
It was interesting, the landlord in their building invited the invited the uh... and there was no reason he couldn't do it but he invited the press in uh... here's how the story goes he invited the press and boy did they go in take pictures of the apartment I think it had been turned over by the FBI nevertheless the story goes that after he did that a black SUV it's always black right always an SUV pulled up
Scooped up the landlord and took him away for, I don't know, a discussion?
I'm not sure, you know, whatever.
As investigators search for any motive behind the deadly rampage in San Bernardino, politicians are searching for a way to talk about it.
The details of the California massacre ... are pointing now to Islamic militants, of course, raising questions about domestic extremism, quickly knocking both Republicans and Democrats straight off their talking points, upending what has become a grim and predictable ritual in American politics, Democrats who vow to use every mass shooting as a moment to call for new gun laws.
"...were temporarily tempering their rallying cries, Republicans who point to mental health services as the solution had begun to blame extremist views."
Oh, this is interesting.
The lighting in here is dimming.
So, in other words, the talking heads that normally go on CNN and Fox are either to call for a confiscation of all these awful guns are caught in a position now since it's international terrorism where they're not sure what to say because it sounds a little silly to be talking about collecting all the guns right if this is international terrorism that frankly in San Bernardino where probably nobody except the cops had guns it might have been stopped or lessened so
Those liberals had to go away and rethink their points, their talking, get new talking points.
But the very serious side of this is, it's here now.
And, uh, I guess, uh, a mass shooting is a mass shooting is a mass shooting, right?
In the end, uh, people are dead.
It's awful.
unidentified
Horrible.
art bell
People have such little regard for human life, huh?
Now, oh!
Hey girls!
The government is deliberating whether to propose selective service changes that would make women eligible for the military draft.
One, two, three, four.
The White House said on Friday.
They really are.
The Pentagon says it will no longer bar women from combat jobs.
So in other words, ladies, if war comes, you could be drafted if this were to change.
Put into a uniform loaded down with usually many pounds of equipment.
Get your gun and go off to war.
Now, the latest country to decide it will bomb ISIS over Syria is Germany.
Germany stepped up its contribution to the fight against the Islamic State on Friday, with lawmakers overwhelmingly voting, as did Great Britain, in favor of sending reconnaissance jets, a tanker plane, and a frigate.
So I'm starting to think, with all the countries flying jets over Syria, it's going to be busier airspace than LAX on a busy day.
You know?
How are they going to keep everybody separated?
It's going to be pretty crazy.
This is from the internet.
Flying humanoid over Indonesia may be Orang Bati.
That's what they call it, according to Mysterious Universe Now.
That's a headline you don't really see every day, right?
Flying human?
Any follower of 14 news stories knows that flying humanoids aren't anything new, although they turn out to mostly be hoaxes, but there is an orang-bati, you ask, pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a legendary creature that is part orangutan, part bat, and part human, question mark appropriately put after that, or maybe just a giant bat.
Well, okay.
So, on an open lines Friday night, literally, anything goes.
No bad language, right?
One call per show until the end.
Two drink maximum.
Let me give you the numbers, and then I've got just a couple of more things that I want to get out here real quickly.
Our public number, this is the one you're going to want to write down.
Right?
And, uh, be really sure that you've got it right.
Is area code 952-225-5278.
Once again, national number, good for all.
Area code 952-225-5278.
Whatever you've got to say, fair game.
Now, we have a first-time caller line.
If you have never called this program before, Here it is.
Area code 775-285-5800.
unidentified
That's 775-285-5800.
art bell
And now I will establish a special line tonight.
We're going to call it the Inhuman Encounter Line.
That's 775-285-5800. And now I will establish a special line tonight.
We're going to call it the Inhuman Encounter Line.
Now, what I mean by that is those of you who have come face to face with something clearly not human.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
That could include anything.
It could include greys.
It could include... well, all of them.
Anything clearly not human.
Now, that doesn't mean your dog or your cat.
unidentified
Right?
art bell
Or a cow down the street.
We're looking for, obviously, something human-like, but not human.
Does that make sense?
Probably not.
Oh, I spoke to John Lear earlier tonight, and I would like to wish John Lear happy birthday, John.
John is now 73 years old.
So, hey John, happy birthday.
John said he wants to come on.
He's got a lot he wants to tell us.
He's not feeling real well these days, but He is, it is his birthday, so he decided he's had our, not tonight, maybe next week.
We'll sort of check on John next week, see how he is.
But John Lear, 73 years old, today.
unidentified
Let's see, there was something else.
art bell
Yeah.
Um, I was really entranced with the Todd Robbins show the other night.
I don't know how many of you heard Todd.
But, what an amazing man.
Just absolutely amazing.
It's like one of those things I can't get out of my mind.
So, I'm not saying I'm going to do it.
I'm saying I'm thinking about it.
I've got a light bulb right here.
I tried to show it briefly earlier on Periscope.
unidentified
Listen.
art bell
Wait a minute, that's not going to tell you.
unidentified
There you go.
art bell
My light bulb.
You know what it says on top of it?
It's hard to read because it's almost worn off, but it says, 700 lumens, and above that it says, appropriately, Hungary.
Now I'm fairly sure that Hungary is the country in which it was manufactured, but I'm not positive about that.
The 700 lumens part, I am.
I don't know what that equates to.
Maybe 65 watts?
Something like that.
Looks like about a 65 watt standard light bulb.
And I figured this.
unidentified
Look.
art bell
If Tony Robbins can eat a light bulb, why not me?
I listened, and I've watched the video several times now, training myself.
And obviously what you have to do is bite it right near the metal base, right?
And then try and eat the rest of the thing, which is going to take a little bit of effort, but I think the base bite is going to be the hardest part.
So, hear it?
There it is.
So, maybe we'll get to that.
I'm trying to work up the nerve, but, you know, when I saw printed on the top of it, hungry, I thought, yeah, baby.
Gotta do it.
It's the right one.
It's calling to me.
It says hungry.
Hungry?
There should be a question mark after that.
Hungry?
All right.
unidentified
Anything goes.
art bell
Open lines.
It's Friday night.
unidentified
good luck to us all.
We'll see you next time.
Bye.
To call the show, please direct your finger digits to dial 1952-225-5278.
That's 1952.
Call Art.
art bell
Oh man, every line is full except my special line.
Now come on.
The inhuman encounter line you mean to say?
We have no people out there that have encountered a gray Or a scaly one?
Or somebody, anybody who's had an inhuman encounter.
This is a face-to-face encounter with something clearly not human.
unidentified
It could be... I don't know, a vampire?
art bell
An alien?
A hybrid?
Humanoid?
Any humanoid.
Well, not any human, but humanoid.
And she has, please don't eat the light bulb.
Well, I don't know, I'm gonna contemplate that.
If he can do it, I can do it.
All right, and the rest of the talk is you can get us on Skype tonight if you wish.

It's pretty dire.
It was ISIS.
We've got it here at home now.
And, or, you can come and... Oh, wait, we do have somebody.
Somebody who has encountered something non-human.
Hello, you're on the air.
First up, actually.
tim in colby
Thank you, Art.
Good to hear your voice.
This is Tim from Colby.
art bell
Hey, Tim.
tim in colby
I just wanted to share one with you.
I heard you said no one was calling on this line, so I'll tell you about a story that happened to me when I was about 15 years old.
I was out driving around with a friend, and it was probably about 2 o'clock in the morning.
It was his first car, and we get pulled over because we're swerving, and the cop checks us, makes sure that we're not drinking or anything.
art bell
Whoa, wait a minute.
You're swerving?
Why are you swerving?
tim in colby
It's two o'clock in the morning and we're in high school, so we were out late just goofing around.
art bell
Alright, well sometimes you swerve for fun, I've done that.
tim in colby
Well, and you know, kids dorking around in a car, it's bound to happen.
art bell
I still do it as an adult, you know, I'll press the gas and let go, and press the gas and let go, and I'll say, oh my god, our car's dying.
My wife will look at me like, not again.
tim in colby
You don't still have that Geo Metro, do you?
art bell
No, but up until recently we did.
tim in colby
Okay, well, getting on with my story here.
You told us to pull over, get some air, take a break.
We go to a local park that's out of the way and there's a little creek area out there.
We pull up and we find like 24 beers, and we don't touch them, but we go down by the creek just to stretch our legs and get some air.
art bell
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
24 beers sitting all by themselves, just abandoned.
tim in colby
Yeah, you know, it's the harvest season around here, and I guess a farmer crew or someone had left them here at this park.
art bell
Damn near a paranormal story already.
tim in colby
Well, the guy I was with wanted to scoop them up, but we figured if they were still there and the cops hadn't shown up to harass us again, we might.
But we're walking down to this creek area, and there's some trees, and something just didn't feel right.
We both got the feeling that we were being watched.
And as time progressed, we are starting to get a little closer, and we both swear we see a pair of eyes staring at us from a treetop.
Seriously?
Yeah, and they were red.
I know how much you like that.
art bell
Uh, not at all.
And from a treetop, even worse.
tim in colby
Well, and they were, it was odd because they were far further spaced apart than a human's head would allow.
So whatever it was, either had eyes that were really far to the side or something.
But we watched this thing jump from tree to tree.
And when we saw that, and we got a better view of whatever this thing was, it was fully humanoid in shape.
Uh, but it made an impossible leap.
It was probably about 20 feet from tree to tree.
And, you know, this is Kansas we're talking about here.
We don't exactly have any apes or anything like that.
art bell
Yeah.
Could you get a sense of the size at this point?
tim in colby
Um, I would say it was at least six foot and, um, long legs, long, um, long body structure.
Like it was really muscular.
We fled in terror, didn't mess with the beers, got in the car and just got the heck out of there.
art bell
Oh yeah, something like that could have absolutely prevented you from reaching full adulthood.
tim in colby
Oh yeah, we were both fearful for our lives that night.
art bell
Blame you.
tim in colby
We were driving and this thing chased us.
We went down a dirt road and we were trying to get back to my house and this thing chased us, airborne.
art bell
Oh God, I thought the story was over and you were out.
Now you're saying it's after you and it's airborne on top of everything else.
tim in colby
It's airborne and it's muddy roads and we're driving as fast as we can to get back to my house, trying to find some safe place.
Looking out through the sunroof, we could see this thing dive-bombing towards the vehicle.
And it was scary and a little 86 Mustang, I'll never forget, looking up through the sunroof while my friend drove.
And seeing this thing, and there's nothing we could do.
The roads were completely muddy.
If we stopped, we were stuck.
We just had to stay the course and keep on driving and hope that this thing didn't run us off the road.
art bell
Well, that's incredible.
At its closest point in dive bombing you, how close was it?
tim in colby
Ten feet?
Five feet?
art bell
That's really close.
Yeah, could you make out details, more details, when it was that close?
tim in colby
It was really dark and we were really panicked.
I couldn't make out.
I thought it was smooth.
I didn't see any sort of hair on it, but I couldn't make out any sort of colors.
It was a dark night.
art bell
That is so freaky.
tim in colby
Yeah, and I found out later that that site, when they were excavating it to be a park, they were finding burial skulls.
It was an old Native American burial ground.
I'd kind of settled years later on thinking maybe this thing was some sort of a guardian.
art bell
Yeah, we always sounded like a guardian to me.
Well, particularly... Deep shining red eyes and dive-bombing at you and chasing you while you're driving.
tim in colby
Well, he would probably sense we were up to no good, so I'd take some solace with that.
art bell
Maybe with its beady red eyes, it looked down, saw the viewers, and thought, man, these guys are going to get in such trouble.
Here, let me just scare the you-know-what out of them.
tim in colby
I don't see that.
It might be one of them for himself.
art bell
It's hard to say.
Thank you very much for the call.
That was a good, very good, initiation of the Inhuman Encounter Line.
Once again, those of you who have had Some kind of face-to-face encounter with something clearly not human.
That could, uh, that could include a lot, couldn't it?
Uh, let's go to... Is it a... Pronounce it for me, Issa?
unidentified
Issa.
art bell
Issa.
Hi, Issa.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
art bell
Okay, you sound far away.
Are you on a speakerphone?
unidentified
Can you hear me now?
art bell
Right.
Get closer and closer.
You're in a vehicle of some kind, right?
unidentified
Yes.
We're calling from Pahoa, Hawaii.
art bell
From Hawaii?
unidentified
We love your show.
art bell
Thank you.
unidentified
We just wanted to suggest a really good thing.
art bell
We're not going to allow people to put websites on the air.
I'm going to tell you why.
I was trying to be more liberal about it.
But a few weeks ago, somebody called up with a XXX website and put that on the air.
And so, you know, I know what you gave me is not XXX, but we're just going to initiate that policy.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, we love your show and thank you for being back.
art bell
Well, how's everything in Hawaii?
unidentified
Um, awesome.
We have a dengue fever scare, but other than that, it's pretty cool.
art bell
Where I lived in the Philippines, we went through that all the time.
We've got dengue bulletins.
unidentified
I'm actually Filipino.
I was born in Cebu.
art bell
Well, then you know.
Yes.
There's a lot of dengue over there, and there's really no treatment for dengue fever.
They're talking about some kind of inoculation someday, but that's someday.
Right now, if you get dengue, you either live or you die.
unidentified
Oh, jeez, I don't think it's that serious.
Oh, yeah, it is.
The strain that's here isn't that bad, I hope.
art bell
Oh, listen, your white cell count goes berserko and, you know, kids especially die from dengue.
They do.
unidentified
Oh, my gosh.
art bell
You didn't know that?
No.
unidentified
I thought it was just you got sick for, you know, a short amount of time and that was it.
Unless you get all four strains, I don't think it's that serious, right?
art bell
Well, maybe the Hawaiian strain is less of a strain.
I don't know.
But I really do think it's dangerous no matter what.
Dengue is bad stuff.
unidentified
Well, that's bad news.
art bell
Do you have a lot of mosquitoes in Hawaii now?
unidentified
Yes, they're everywhere.
It's impossible to not get bit.
art bell
So every time you get bit... We're in the jungle.
unidentified
We're like in the middle of the jungle.
art bell
Oh, in the middle of the jungle.
unidentified
Yes.
Cool.
art bell
Well, thank you for the call.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
Take care.
Stay away from dengue.
unidentified
Bad, bad, bad stuff.
I know that you have, cause there's magic in my eyes.
I can see for miles and miles and miles.
Look at us, but do not touch.
Pedro is my name.
Midnight Matter can be explored on Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell.

It's gonna sound awful.
Trying to do a lot of Skype education here.
Again, uh, happy birthday John Lear.
73 years old today.
Spoke to him earlier.
He may be with us next week if he's feeling well.
Uh, for at least an hour.
Something like that.
Alright, my one line is open.
That's the only one open.
Nobody with the guts, huh?
Nobody else with the guts.
It is my inhuman encounter line.
That's what I'm calling it.
It means that you have a story to relate about a face-to-face encounter you had with something clearly not human.
If you have a story of that caliber, call me now at Area Code 575-208-7787.
unidentified
Again, 575-208-7787.
art bell
The only line that's not filled at the moment.
Again, 575-208-7787.
The only line that's not filled at the moment.
The first time caller line is though you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hello?
art bell
Hello?
unidentified
Yeah.
I'm on the air.
Hello?
art bell
Yes, oh excellent, you made it to the phone.
unidentified
Sorry, yeah, I had your own speaker waiting.
I understand that you're doing the face-to-face with aliens where possible.
art bell
Not necessarily aliens, something not human.
I don't want to limit it to aliens.
unidentified
Okay, I don't have that story tonight.
Mine was going to be something about what I experienced, which what I thought I Had a death experience that was, you know, unusual.
Well, go ahead.
But it's not.
Go ahead.
Tell it.
It happened about five years ago.
And during my sleep, I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea.
Hadn't been using my machine.
Oh, yeah.
I was back on the East Coast.
And during my dream, I'm on a jet.
And I'm looking out.
There's no one on the jet.
It's pure white outside the windows like you might see if you're above the clouds.
And I could actually see out the cockpit.
It was open.
And I went to get up and a voice said, sit down Dave.
And I sat down.
And the next thing it appears is that we just landed somewhere.
art bell
I'm just a little bit confused.
You said you were in a passenger seat, right?
unidentified
Correct.
art bell
But you could see out the cockpit?
unidentified
I could see out the cockpit as if the door was open.
I saw no people, no pilots.
art bell
Oh, oh, oh.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
The jet was moving and the normal sound you might hear seemed to be there, but not as dramatic, say.
Right.
And then when I saw the side, you know, the door open, I got up again and they said, Dave, it's not your time.
And I woke up and I had never felt The feeling of complete relaxation, complete at peace.
It was indescribable.
I would love to experience that feeling again, but not if it's what I thought it was, which later, talking with a few people, said you probably died and came back.
It wasn't your time.
art bell
Yes.
Well, people with that problem, of course, can stop breathing.
And then spontaneously begin again, or because somebody up above said, it's not your time, start your breathing.
Anyway, very cool story.
I wouldn't be so calm and collected when I looked up through the cockpit and saw no pilots.
I would be really concerned at that point.
I appreciate your call, sir.
unidentified
Well, thank you.
art bell
Right, thank you.
It is what it is, right?
But I just cannot imagine looking up, seeing the empty seats, and probably with the stick, you know, kind of randomly moving back and forth.
Or is that too much detail?
Or maybe the altimeter's spinning down.
unidentified
Anyway.
art bell
Let's go to Marie.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, Art.
art bell
Where are you, Marie?
unidentified
I am in Spokane, Washington.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
And I haven't been listening to your show since I was nine years old.
art bell
And so now you're up and collecting Social Security, right?
unidentified
No, I'm 32.
art bell
Yeah, everybody just cannot resist to say something to make me feel my age.
unidentified
I understand perfectly.
You sound like you did when you were back in the 90s.
art bell
Actually, I do, don't I?
And even maybe a little better because the audio is much better.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Well, anyway, what's up?
unidentified
Oh, not too much.
Well, I had a strange experience when I was younger.
I don't know if it had to do with UFOs or whatnot, but When I was nine years old, I had an encounter with an alien.
I thought it was all a dream until I woke up and there was blood on my arm.
art bell
Well, when you began the conversation you said you didn't know whether it was an alien or not and then you said when you were nine it was an alien and there was blood on your arm.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
So did the alien bite you or what happened?
unidentified
I don't remember.
art bell
Was it your blood or the aliens?
unidentified
It was my blood, most certainly.
But when I woke up, I went, when is this?
And I was standing, my bed was on one end of the room.
Right.
The window was on the other side.
So I was standing out the window.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
All right.
Thank you very, very much for the call.
And I guess there is no answer to what the alien did to you.
I mean, were there any physical marks on your body or anything?
unidentified
I couldn't remember.
I was so young that I couldn't remember, Mr. Brown.
art bell
Gotcha.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Well, I appreciate the story.
Thank you.
What do you all make out of that?
A little bit of a nosebleed, maybe, and a big imagination.
I don't know.
But she did say alien, didn't she?
So, Anything Goes, Friday nights.
The rest of the week we do very serious guests, as you can tell.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Fridays come, it's Anything Goes.
Whatever you want to talk about is fair game.
On our special Blind, somebody who met something eye-to-eye, face-to-face.
You're on the air.
Where are you calling from?
unidentified
Would that be me you're talking to?
art bell
That would be you.
unidentified
Oh, nice!
I am calling from Lockport, New York.
My name is Steve.
art bell
All right, Steve.
For the education of all who plan to call this show, when I answer the phone, you will hear a little Ding!
Sound.
And then you'll know that's me picking up the phone line.
Did you hear that?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
That's why it had me curious.
art bell
Okay, well that's the tip-off that you're on the air.
Anyway, go ahead.
unidentified
Thank you.
Tuesday morning, August 15, 2011, I woke up next to my wife, laying in bed, rolled over on my back, and up in my ceiling in a What I'm going to call like a vortex was a black square hole.
Uh, and inside it where the ceiling should have been about a foot, foot and a half was orange ice.
They never blinked.
Uh, I could barely make out the outline.
It looked like a head.
And, uh, I know it was alien.
It actually locked up my body.
The, uh, it lasted about five minutes.
And, um, I watched the ice go away for me at that moment, and the blackness retreated, and the ceiling came back, and my body became unfroze, and I was able to get up.
I yelled at it, told it never to come back, and then I realized what it was a couple minutes later, and I think I had an opportunity to possibly talk with a being from another planet, and I blew it.
Maybe you can give me some insight on why or how these things are visiting us and why they're doing this.
art bell
Well, in this case, I sense that the being that you encountered was going to tell you and just you the secret of how to save the planet from complete, utter destruction.
But as you mentioned, sir, you blew it.
unidentified
Well, here's something to tinker to.
At that time, I had two artificial discs in my cervical spine.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
I also possibly thought, like six months after that happened, that maybe there was something with these discs where maybe they were part of a government test.
Maybe they were projecting something through my spinal cord into my brain.
art bell
That's quite a guess.
unidentified
Is that a feasible option or no?
art bell
Well, I'd go for no, but, uh, you know, your story is really good, and, um, I can just imagine looking up to the ceiling, where the ceiling should be.
There's essentially a hole and a blackness and orange eyes.
Yikes.
I appreciate your call, sir.
unidentified
Here's the funny thing.
I told this to my pain management doctor, because I have a non-social security disability.
art bell
I bet he cut down your dosage, right?
unidentified
No.
No?
He told me the medicine that they had me on was painkillers.
Could not cause hallucinations.
They had me whisked in for surgery and those discs were removed that following November.
art bell
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
So, now you're putting the capper on it.
You're saying, alright, so the doctor realized the discs did have something to do with your encounter and had them removed.
unidentified
They took them out and they fused my neck at those two locations.
I told the pain management specialist this.
It was my spinal surgeon who got the authorization in no time flat for the surgery after I had told them that at the pain management.
art bell
Completely incredible.
Alright, thank you very, very much for the call and these are good uses of this line.
Here I was concerned.
It's the one special line we have open tonight, the Inhuman Encounter line.
Those of you who have had face-to-face encounters with something clearly not human.
If that would be you, area code 575-208-7787.
It started out so slowly I was worried, but now I see it filling quickly.
Justin on Skype.
It started out so slowly I was worried, but now I see it filling quickly.
Justin on Skype.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello Art.
Hey, Justin.
I'm from Ohio.
I'm a first-time caller.
I love your show.
I just started listening since you came back.
Thank you.
art bell
How did you... Can I ask a question?
How did you find out that we were back?
unidentified
So I had tune-in radio on my phone, and I just looked up paranormal shows.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And I came across Coast to Coast AM, and then I saw Dark Matter and started listening to you, and I really loved your show.
art bell
So then you, like, found the real paranormal.
unidentified
Excuse me?
art bell
Doesn't matter.
Anyway, what's up, Justin?
unidentified
So I just wanted to say something real quick, and then I have a two-part question.
And if we have time, I'd like to play a short clip of a song for you, if that's okay?
art bell
We'll see.
Let's go with the question first.
unidentified
Okay.
So I was thinking, I think in the next 200 years, I think we may start moving towards a one-world government.
I think that we should.
I think we should do that.
I think that would be good for peace.
I think it's inevitable.
art bell
And you really think that will happen within 200 years?
unidentified
Maybe more.
I mean, you look at the European Union and what that's done for Europe after a lot of history of infighting between different countries.
I think that one world government is going to happen sooner or later, and I think it could solve many conflicts.
My two-part question is, Do you think ISIS wants to draw us out into combat?
art bell
Like, um, what happened in... Absolutely, without question, they want American troops on the ground, yes.
unidentified
Because, yeah, because we saw that Iraq really sent our country into an economic depression, so maybe that's what they want.
But on the other hand, do they want to divide Western countries so that they don't join into conflict against ISIS?
Because that would, if Western countries were to join together, that might be moving towards that one world government.
art bell
Sir, I'm going to say this again.
The center of their ideological world, and I'm not talking about all Muslims, I'm talking about ISIS, is to initiate, to begin the end of the world, to bring about Armageddon.
That's what they want.
unidentified
So, but I still see it as two separate things.
Do they want to draw us out, or, because, if they draw all the Western countries out together, then that would be going against their Armageddon, because... Well, actually, actually, sir, if you think about it, they're doing a pretty good job already.
art bell
They've got Russia in there, uh, bombing the people who are trying to, um, eject Assad, right?
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
art bell
We're in there bombing ISIS.
Two very different objectives, but if they get Russian ground troops, American ground troops, American jets, Russian jets, all flying around in the same airspace, all walking and fighting on the same ground, eventually something really awful will probably happen.
unidentified
Right, so, but they're going after, ISIS is going after Russia, trying to draw Russia out, but at the same time, Turkey is a NATO nation, and there's a conflict between Turkey and Russia, so, That's kind of two different things.
art bell
Well, not really.
I mean, the end of any of this could be catastrophic.
Could be World War III.
unidentified
Yeah, that's a scary prospect for sure.
art bell
And so if that's what they're trying to bring about, they're on the right track so far.
unidentified
Right.
So, I mean, hopefully Russia can get in line and join up with us.
I'm kind of scared to see how this Turkey-Russia thing plays out because that could go, that could pit Russia against And not to forget, Russia just put in the new anti-aircraft missiles, the Mach 5 babies that will hit anything, including any American plane flying.
art bell
And if they should hit one of ours, you know, it could be the balloon goes up time.
All right, well listen, I'm not going to hang on to the music tonight, but I appreciate your call very much, and hope you'll call again.
In the meantime, let us go to, we should take a regular call, and so here it is, and it's Kennewick, Washington, I think.
unidentified
Actually, it's Spokane, Washington.
art bell
I just can't get it right, but I was close.
unidentified
That's all right.
509 covers a huge area of Washington.
I got a quick question.
Well, I have a comment and a question.
My first comment was, have you ever heard, or my first question was, have you ever heard of a 1950s experiment called the Mouse Utopia Project?
art bell
The Mouse what?
unidentified
The Mouse Utopia Project.
art bell
No, I haven't.
unidentified
Yeah, it's really interesting.
Basically, they took like 24 mice, 12 females, 12 males, and this guy Built this huge space for them, worth 3,000.
It was basically a population experiment using mice.
And there was some really fundamentally crazy things that happened in this space for the mice.
But I don't really want to go into that.
I really wanted to talk about what Loretta Lynch said today about going after people who, I guess, use anti-Muslim rhetoric.
That's a scary proposition that the Attorney General is basically going to clamp down on free speech right after an Islamic Muslim attack on our soil.
I just thought that was really weird.
art bell
Well, I don't know that they can do that because we have free speech, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, I know.
That's why I was like, who is she going to throw in jail first thing?
We just had all this anti-police rhetoric from the Black Lives Matter crew.
Nothing was done.
We were just attacked on our soil by radicalized Muslims.
And for her to come out and be like, okay, well, I'm going to go after people who are, who say anti-Muslim things, I assume maybe on social media, or I don't know where she's going to really go, where she's... Well, then she should go after people saying anti-Christian things, anti-Jewish things, anti-blah, blah, blah, blah, all of them things, right?
Yeah, it just blows my mind that you have the Attorney General of the United States say that.
art bell
Sir, yeah, okay.
Well, I appreciate your call and your sentiment and thought, but it ain't gonna happen.
We still have this thing, just barely, but we have this thing called the Constitution, right?
unidentified
She's got something that moves my soul And she knows I'd love to love her
But she lets me down every time Can't make her mine
She's no one's woman like with me And if you get hurt
By the little things I do I can set my eyes back on your heart, baby
Midnight in the Desert doesn't scream calls.
We trust you.
But remember, the NSA... Well, you know.
To call the show, please dial 1-952-225-5278.
That's 1-952-CALL-ART.
I am Art.
Art Bell.
So, you can call that number.
5 5 2 7 8 that's 1 9 5 2 call heart I am art Artel so you can call that number. That's the national
art bell
number Welcome everybody
Uh, I noted the news at the top of the show.
I know a lot of stations join here in the second hour.
Why, I don't know.
It seems like it should be hour one, hour two, hour three, but it happened, so we know it was ISIS now, without question.
She, uh, the wife, that is, sent out a Facebook message, uh, saying that she pledged her allegiance to The Islamic State at about 11 in the morning and killed a lot of people along with her husband, who I think she probably was responsible for radicalizing, but that's just my guess.
And so it's here in the homeland.
But that's not really what we're talking about.
We're talking about, well, anything you want.
This is your program.
Friday night.
It's all you.
Whatever you want to talk about.
Fair game.
I do have one special line.
It is my inhuman encounter line.
Very productive, I might add, thus far.
Those of you who have had a face-to-face encounter with something clearly not human.
It would be area code 575-208-7787.
575-208-7787.
Let us now go to that line and see what we can find.
unidentified
Hello.
Hi.
Hello.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Can you hear me okay?
art bell
I hear you.
Along with an echo of myself somehow.
I'm getting myself.
You don't have me on speaker, do you?
unidentified
No, I did.
I just turned it off.
art bell
Bless you.
And let that be a lesson to all.
Do not call with speakerphone.
unidentified
Sounds terrible.
art bell
But now you sound great.
unidentified
Oh, wonderful.
Hey, it's my birthday, my 59th birthday, and my husband said, call Art tonight and tell him your story.
art bell
Okay.
It's also John Lear's 73rd birthday, so you two share that.
So what is your story?
unidentified
Well, I'm from Michigan originally.
I now live in New Mexico.
But when we were kids, we lived out on the farm many years ago, you know, out in the middle of the sticks.
So my mom always used to tell us kids, if we didn't behave, you know, this monster would come and get us.
Go to bed, be quiet.
So we decided, you know, let's go to bed, all of us kids.
There were six of us.
And we were poor, so we all slept in this big room, giant room together.
My oldest sister, there's six kids, so she goes up to shut the curtains this night.
And I can already tell the story because it's hard.
I've never told this story publicly to too many people.
So, because I always thought people aren't going to believe this.
So I watched my sister, the rest of us were just kind of watching her walk up to the window to close the curtains.
As she puts her hands up to the curtains, to draw the curtains closed, we saw what we thought was the devil.
And it was just the scariest thing we could ever imagine that we would ever see.
art bell
Well, describe it.
What did it look like?
unidentified
It was red-faced.
It had, like, horns, big eyes, a large mouth, like, claw-type hands coming around the window like he was trying to get in.
And we just all saw this at the same time, and we just started screaming at the top of our lungs.
And we ran down the stairs to my mom and dad.
They were in the living room downstairs and they didn't know what was wrong with us.
They thought we were acting crazy.
And, you know, I don't know if they ever really believed us.
But from that point forward, the only time we would talk about that would be when we were together as kids.
And we we all believed that we never forgot it.
And to this day, I'm 59 years old.
We still believe we saw the devil looking at us in the window.
My dad did run outside.
Immediately to see if there was anything out there.
And there was no ladder.
There was nothing out there where somebody could have crawled.
We were up on the second floor.
I forgot to tell you that.
We were on the second floor of this old farmhouse.
art bell
So maybe he came to collect a soul.
Had you thought of that?
unidentified
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
And that's what scared us so bad.
I would actually sleep for many years with my head under the blankets and under the covers.
No matter how hot I would get, I would be so scared I didn't even want my head exposed.
So, we always kind of wondered why he was there, but that was something that crossed my mind when I got older.
But as a child, I didn't know what he wanted.
I just knew he was trying to get in.
art bell
Well, trust me, so it could get hotter, behave.
All right, thank you so very much for the call.
Tell your husband thank you for making you call.
unidentified
I will tell him.
He's a Vietnam vet, so I will relay that to him.
art bell
All right, thank you so very much, and there you have it.
That's our special line, Inhuman Encounters line, face-to-face, with something, right?
Clearly not human.
If that happened to you, we want to hear from you as soon as possible.
And on Skype, here comes somebody named Wolfman.
unidentified
Hello.
wolfman in dm talkers
Hi, Art.
It's Wolfman from the DM Talkers here.
art bell
DM Talkers, okay.
wolfman in dm talkers
Shout out to them.
art bell
Yeah, they're a good group.
Some nights, they're just brought into the core.
wolfman in dm talkers
Oh, I know.
But we're getting it, Art.
It's just all fun.
It's all fun.
art bell
Yeah, I know it is.
wolfman in dm talkers
I know.
And it's entertainment, too.
art bell
Oh, I know.
Why do you think I'm considering eating this light bulb?
wolfman in dm talkers
Oh my God, I can't believe you're really going to do that.
I've seen someone do it when I was a kid, and I think it was that guy you had on the show.
Oh yeah, Tony Robbins.
art bell
Yeah, he ate a light bulb, and he was still around to talk about it.
So, you know, I watched his video several times.
I feel like I kind of know what I'm doing.
wolfman in dm talkers
Well, I guess it all comes out in one clump and everything kind of.
Apparently, it goes through pretty easy and I say go for it.
Really?
I wouldn't be too worried.
I've seen other guys do it.
Really?
If you've been taught how to do it properly, I think you can do it.
art bell
Well, I've watched his video.
wolfman in dm talkers
Well, okay.
You can still do sound effects.
art bell
I'm self-taught.
wolfman in dm talkers
Anyways, um, the last caller with that, uh, creature that she saw looking through the window, I've had a similar encounter.
I was going to talk about something else, but I'm going to go on to this because, uh, when I was a kid, I seen a similar creatures and my brothers and sisters saw it too.
Uh, and we found out later that that house was built on a native burial ground.
art bell
Really?
wolfman in dm talkers
Yeah.
And in the trees in the backyard, one time my brother and I saw the trees in the backyard actually form into a face with the leaves.
art bell
Yeah.
wolfman in dm talkers
And it was a face of a Native Indian, North American Indian person.
And I was trying to talk to us, but we couldn't understand it.
But we actually had the Catholic Church come in and do an exorcism on the property there.
art bell
Wow.
Did they comment at all?
Did they feel anything?
wolfman in dm talkers
Oh, yes.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
I went with the priest.
This was my first time where I actually participated in the exorcism.
So I still do.
I actually went with the priest and he taught me how to do it.
I was asking him how to do it as we went through.
So I learned how to do this.
So I've done it for many people since then, and kids can sleep at night after I do my thing.
art bell
Well, there you have it.
You watch, you learn, you do.
wolfman in dm talkers
Okay, but the real story, and everyone wants to hear, is about the fireflies.
And one time when I was at the farm, it's a tobacco farm on Lake Erie, and I was walking down the path towards an old graveyard, and I went past it.
These fireflies are following me around, and this has happened to me before.
unidentified
and I bring a staff with me out there because there's one area so I went over
wolfman in dm talkers
there and I banged staff on the ground and I said show yourself spirit of nature
show yourself show yourself spirit of nature and as I knew something was
watching me right well one single firefly came up to me right up to my
face and then it blew up into a like a sphere a 10 like 10 inch sphere of red
glowing energy like a ball of energy Oh my God.
It scared the crap out of me.
art bell
Gotcha.
wolfman in dm talkers
Like, yeah, I think I bit off more than I can chew here.
And I kind of just backed off.
unidentified
And I could feel an energy coming and it was looking at me.
wolfman in dm talkers
I think it wanted to communicate with me.
I was too scared, so I actually turned around and ran towards my brother's house.
I kept looking back, and it stayed there.
It wasn't trying to attack me or anything, but I really... That was the strangest thing that I've ever encountered.
I've encountered a lot of strange things, but that one takes the cake.
art bell
But nothing after that?
wolfman in dm talkers
Oh, my gosh, Art.
I've seen so many things.
I could go on a whole show about Lake Erie and the Lake Erie mysteries.
art bell
No, Firefly's story was sufficient.
Thank you very, very much, and take care.
It would be pretty weird if fireflies just sort of followed you around.
I mean, every time you look back, there's a little swarm of light sort of tailing away from you.
Yeah, I suppose I'd eventually ask to.
On our encounter line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello?
Hi, uh, my name is Jason.
art bell
Oh, Jason.
You sound terrible.
You're on a cell phone, right?
larry in ghost train pictures
Uh, yes, Sam.
unidentified
Um, hold on, if you want I can try to switch to, uh, the actual phone.
Give me one second.
art bell
Oh, yeah, never call unless you're on an actual phone.
unidentified
Do I sound better now?
art bell
Oh my God, yes.
Um, see, let that be a lesson for all of you.
Don't call me that way.
You don't want to sound that way.
You want to sound this way.
Proceed.
unidentified
Okay.
Um, basically, as you want to say, I'm a huge skeptic when it comes to ghosts, aliens, and all that stuff.
Me too.
But I did have an experience, and I can't explain it.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Basically, I'm an armored car guard, and we do ATM machines occasionally besides, you know, regular store stuff.
And me and my partner one day walked into a bank, Uh, we knew nobody was in there because the premise alarm was set when we came in.
It went off and we had to disarm it.
And, uh, I went to go do the ATMs.
My partner had to use the restroom, which was upstairs on the second floor.
I told him, go ahead.
I'll go do the ATMs.
Next thing I know, I hear, Jay, get over here quick.
I go running upstairs and he's got his gun drawn at the door of the bathroom.
And I'm like, what's going on?
And he's like, There's someone in the bathroom and he won't identify himself.
So I'm like, that's impossible.
We disarmed the premise alarm.
So he's like, I'm telling you, there was banging on the door.
So I'm like, are you sure it wasn't just like plumbing or something?
And he's like, no.
And next thing I know, I see the door literally jumping on its hinges and I hear bang, bang, bang.
And I'm like, then I draw my weapon and point it at the door.
And I'm like, whoever's in there, identify yourself.
Are you a cleaning person?
What's going on?
Yeah.
Cause occasionally you get cleaning people in the bank and nothing.
Next thing I know, bang, bang, bang again.
And you can literally see the door like shaking on its hinges.
So my partner, my partner keeps his gun at the door.
I go downstairs.
I call the police, the police come, I let them in.
And they're telling me what's going on.
And I'm like, look, the bathroom's locked.
Somebody's in there.
They won't come out.
They won't identify themselves.
So they're like banging on the door.
And they're like, whoever's in there, come out.
And nobody comes out.
Nobody does nothing.
So they're like, are you sure someone's in there?
And we're like, 100% sure.
They were banging the door so hard it was shaking on the hinges.
Right.
So I could see the cops looking at me like I'm crazy.
And I'm like, I'm telling you, somebody's in there.
The doors are locked.
These bathrooms are never locked.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And he's like, somebody probably just, you know, key locked it.
And I'm like, I'm telling you, these bathrooms are always open.
They know we come in there and use them.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
So they're like, well, we got to get permission from the bank to break the door down.
So, they get permission from the bank to break the door down.
Ooh.
And, yeah, they break the door down, and nobody's in there.
And here's the kicker.
They think we're crazy, right?
Right.
So, we're like, you know, look at it.
The bathroom's very small.
It's like maybe, like, five by eight, you know?
So there's nowhere to hide in there.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And so we start walking down the stairs, because, you know, they have to, You know, make us fill out a police report and everything.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
We get about four steps down and all of a sudden you hear, bang, bang, bang!
And the police go running back upstairs, check the bathroom again, nobody's in there.
Now they're looking at us like, how are we going to explain this?
And I'm like, so you thought we were kidding.
Something's going on here.
And it wasn't plumbing, it wasn't, you know, there was no leaks, no nothing.
art bell
Come on, this is not your job to explain.
You did everything you could have possibly done, including calling the cops.
So, at this point, it's up to them.
unidentified
Yep, so to this day, like I said, I'm a huge skeptic.
I don't know if it was a paranormal event, or what, but I'll tell you one thing.
There's no way somebody was in that bathroom and then escaped because the ceiling of that bathroom has an exhaust fan which they gated and padlocked and both things were secure.
art bell
I was going to ask you if there was any telltale sensory information that indicated somebody had been in there.
unidentified
Yeah, there was no, like the door itself had no dents in it on the inside, but I'll tell you what, if I had banged on the door that hard from the inside, I would have put dents in it.
So, how it didn't have dents, I do not know.
art bell
I don't even want to think what it could have been.
unidentified
I don't either, but I'll tell you what, ever since I was doing that branch, the days after that, I would always check that bathroom before I even go to the ATM machines just to make sure nobody was in there.
art bell
All right, sir.
Whale of a tale.
No question about it.
Thank you.
unidentified
Wow.
art bell
Yes, whatever it was.
Can you imagine being in a stall?
Anyway, never mind.
I'm not going to go there.
Let's go to Calvin.
Hi, Calvin.
unidentified
Hi Art, Mr. Bell.
art bell
Yo sir, Art's fine.
unidentified
As we go, my name is Dr. Carter.
I'm a government scientist.
art bell
You are?
unidentified
Neuroscientist, yes sir.
art bell
Okay, good to have you.
What do you study?
unidentified
Well, I study mainly treatments for neurological diseases, brain diseases.
Um, and big fan of your show, been listening for a few years.
I actually listen to you when I'm in the lab doing experiments.
Um, yeah, but one thing I wanted to touch on, I guess, in light of the recent events, was this whole concept of, um, cause you hear, you know, we have to bomb ISIS, we have to attack ISIS.
And I listened to your show the other night where you had the open minds with the callers talking about guns and gun regulation.
Yes, they were correct.
A lot of the people were, you know, for guns.
Yes.
That's what it sounded like.
art bell
Yes, they were.
unidentified
I still don't understand how you can try to defeat an ideology with weapons.
art bell
Oh, you can't.
unidentified
Sir, you can't.
art bell
I agree with you.
You can't defeat ideology with with weapons you cannot do that uh... but
what you can do is if you're in a crowd of people that's getting shot up
you can avoid getting mowed down uh... you know like a defenseless animal
unidentified
Sure.
I think part of the bigger problem is, you know, they always say that Islam is a religion of peace.
And while that may be true for some, depending on the interpretation, if you look at the founder of these religions, if you're talking about Jesus Christ for Christianity, who was a pretty good role model. He preached peace, love
to everyone, saw everyone equally.
And if you look at the other side, if you look at the Islam faith, which I have a great respect for,
I know many people, and I love these people.
art bell
Most of Islam is just fine.
unidentified
But if you look at the founder, he was a pretty radical guy.
I mean, we're talking about a man who ran around killing women and children.
art bell
Come on, come on, come on.
Think about this.
Wait a minute.
Hold on, hold on.
unidentified
And had sex with another woman.
Hold on, hold on.
art bell
You know, Christianity was really radical too.
And if you read the Bible, even today, and you read what should be the punishment for homosexuality, and so forth and so on, you'll find that it was pretty darn barbaric.
It depends on the reading you do, right?
unidentified
Well, that may be true, but if you look at the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, I think if you were gay or straight, black, white, rich, poor, it didn't matter.
That's the founder, right?
Everything that came after, when you're talking about the Crusades, the Dark Ages, everything after that, that's not Jesus.
That's people interpreting the Bible for their own benefit.
art bell
Yeah, but I think probably you can do the same thing with Allah, you know?
And say the same things about Allah, I'm sure.
unidentified
Well, as far as Mohammed, I think that's true.
Well, as far as Mohammed, it is true.
If you look in the Quran about he beheaded people.
I mean, this whole concept, even, of the hijab, the headgear, that's a sexist premise.
art bell
How about getting stoned to death?
That's got to be rough.
unidentified
Yeah, that's got to be rough.
Probably not.
art bell
So, you know, actually, what I think is that all religion, You know, listen to the song, uh, Imagine, by John Lennon.
Listen to that.
I'm not saying all religion should be gone, because frankly, you know, we Americans believe in the freedom of religion.
But would it be a better planet without religion?
unidentified
Maybe.
art bell
Or maybe if we were but one religion and we were not so radical about it.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
I just know that most wars originate with religion.
Most bad stuff that happens, it seems like, occur because of somebody's perversion of what they think their god says.
I know that certainly all wars are preceded with people holding Bibles up as they march off to war, and or corans or whatever.
unidentified
Right?
art bell
So, religions caused us a lot of trouble, frankly.
To Anchorage, Alaska we go.
unidentified
Hello.
Hey Art.
Hey.
It's always a pleasure with the opportunity, so.
Thank you.
You know, I've been pondering this thing on San Bernardino, and they haven't released any of the names and what their job titles were.
And if I cross my mind, it's a little negative, but it portends of greater events coming.
And here's my take now.
art bell
Do you mean the victims?
Yes.
And here's my take.
Okay, all right.
unidentified
And here's my take.
When you look at child support, child protective services, divorce court, bunkered down bureaucratic
installation, which we're now seeing.
It could be the Taliban realized that there's so much discontent and unhappy Americans in trouble.
And when you look at those institutions like the IRS and parking meter, they may be looking to tap new, new recruits by attacking those things.
And the foundation for that reasoning would be, we get very little news out of what they actually do over there when they take over, but I heard somewhere they take out the government employees first.
They convert them.
So does this make you see what I'm coming from here?
Uh, you know, how, how could you be angry?
You've got to pay child support for 20 years and your wife took your house or the IRS took your, you never engaged these people.
Then you're living in an alternate awareness that those people who've had engagements, they're very bitter.
I'm talking very bitter.
And I just wonder...
Because they chose such a specific crowd.
In my opinion, it was a terrorist act.
art bell
Oh, clearly.
Yes, at this point, I think yes it was.
ISIS-inspired is my best guess.
That's what I said Wednesday, and it would appear as though that certainly is what it was.
Everybody who wrote to me said, oh no, no, no, no, Art.
This was nothing but a workplace thing.
We've had so many of them.
No, I said, Probably ISIS-inspired.
Not directed, but inspired.
And I'm scared to death there will be more of it.
I'm sorry to say.
There will be people who are so disenfranchised, one way or the other, as that caller said.
unidentified
It's coming.
art bell
No, correction.
It's here.
Outside the country, you're on the air.
Larry, hello!
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hey, Larry.
Where are you?
How are you, Art?
unidentified
That girl is your 59th birthday.
She gets to call Art Bell.
Me, I've been trying to call since 1998.
art bell
Where are you, Larry?
unidentified
Niagara Falls, Canada, Art.
art bell
Larry, I have such bad news for you.
unidentified
What's that?
art bell
Such bad news.
unidentified
Oh, no, the wrong line?
Yes, Larry, wrong line.
I thought this was international?
art bell
Uh, it is.
Uh, outside of North America, Larry.
Oh, come on.
unidentified
Could I just tell you the story?
art bell
Yeah, you know, I mean, if you've been trying to get through since 98, but I, you know, you break a rule like this and, you know, it's a slippery slope, but go on.
unidentified
Well, the other one didn't work on Skype.
Okay.
Um, what I want you to elaborate, though, is two stories.
Both of them were with you.
Um, probably two of the greatest stories I've ever heard.
Art, remember years ago when a woman called in on the line, and she was called in, she was driving through an intersection, and she was looking back at her kids, and they were looking back, the husband was driving, her kids were in the back seat, they were driving, they went through the intersection?
Yes.
Remember that?
art bell
I do.
unidentified
And a car hit them?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And as she looked back, she saw her kids in the back seat, and the car, she saw the car going through them?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
You remember that story?
art bell
I do, yes.
unidentified
And then as they went through, the husband stopped and skidded, pulled over, and that other car that went through them stopped as well, and then took off?
art bell
Yeah, I had a recent, a very recent call, sir, just like that.
A little bit different, but just like it.
unidentified
Oh, really?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Wow, that's an incredible story!
I can't believe it!
I don't know what you would call that!
art bell
Um, I'm not sure either, and so I don't call it anything except really strange.
unidentified
Yeah, well, and then I guess you can throw a miracle in there, right?
art bell
Oh, you could.
unidentified
And the other story I wanted to kind of elaborate, maybe you could elaborate a little bit on, um, also with you, um, it was in the mountains in Tora Bora.
And I don't know who was the caller that called in was relating the story that you had on.
And it was more or less, um, I guess when they were looking for Bin Laden back then, you know, just after 2002 or something, I think it was, when he got, when the U.S.
was up there.
art bell
We thought we were close to him then, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
And so they were in some caves, so I guess some of the Marines went up, remember, into the caves?
art bell
I do.
unidentified
They were looking for him into this one cave, and I think all of them, there was, what, maybe 12 or something, I think, the caller said, that went in, and they all passed, they all died?
art bell
Actually, they heard radio traffic, if you recall.
Listen, Larry, Larry, Larry, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go.
I should not have taken that call.
But because you've been trying so long, I slaughtered the rule.
And so, once again, with Skype, here's the way it works, ladies and gentlemen.
If you're in North America, that means Canada and the U.S., it's MITD 5-1.
If you're outside of North America, in the rest of the world, it's MITD Five.
Five.
Now, there can be no exceptions.
And you just heard me sort of make one.
By light bulb.
Coming up shortly, ladies and gentlemen, stand by.
unidentified
If Mr. Robbins can do it, I can.
art bell
I know I can do it.
unidentified
This thing actually looks delicious.
art bell
Says hungry right on it.
unidentified
700 women of hunger.
I was justified, I was fine.
Days of change are still in your eyes.
Times are changing, I'm a-forging fast.
But my speed is gonna catch you at the exit.
I've been falling hard, and I just can't hide it.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you.
This is Midnight in the Desert.
To call the show, if you're east of midnight, call 1-952-CALL-ART.
If you're west of midnight, call 1-952-225-5278.
art bell
Okay, you decide which number applies to you, and give us a call.
And of course, on Skype, you know, in North America, America and Canada, it's MITP51, and outside, North America.
It's MITD55.
So wherever you are in the world, you get us on your, uh, on your list of contacts and, uh, just press it and boom!
You'll be right through to me.
Like that.
unidentified
Sort of.
art bell
If I can get to you quickly enough.
Alright, well I've teased this long enough.
unidentified
Here it is.
art bell
It's my lightbulb.
65 watts, I'm guessing.
I swear to you it says 700 lumens.
And it says HUNGRY at the top.
Looks like an average lightbulb.
Now, I did watch the, uh, and by the way, I thought I was calling him Tony Robbins.
It was only because I probably was thinking that Tony would be telling me how it would improve my life to eat a lightbulb.
Todd Robbins was our guy, and Wednesday he ate a lightbulb on the air, and I thought, well, you know, if he can do it, let me study that video.
I can probably do it too.
Don't any of you do it, because it requires intense study.
I bet I watched that video Fifteen times.
So, you know, what you've got to do is bite it just above, according to the video I can see, the metal part, you know, where the glass is.
So that's probably where I'm going to start with just one giant bite and see what happens.
unidentified
Oh, oh, oh.
Let me wash this down with a little purple water.
art bell
Pure potato chips.
So, did you fall for it or not?
I'm sure everybody will sit out there and say, not a chance, I didn't fall for it.
Somebody had to fall for it.
Sounded pretty good to me.
unidentified
Still have my lightbulb.
art bell
Don't eat lightbulbs.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Let's go to Benton, Arkansas, I think, or something.
Hello?
benton in arkansas
Yeah, it's Benton.
This is Joseph.
Benton, how you doing, Art?
art bell
So, what did you think?
unidentified
Did you think I was really eating a lightbulb?
benton in arkansas
I don't know if you can see my speaker lighting up there, but I was begging you to stop.
So, yeah, I fell for it.
Who would ever do anything like that?
With all your listeners, no one's doing that, right?
art bell
Was the sound about right?
benton in arkansas
Uh, the first crunch, yeah.
art bell
Yeah, the first crunch.
I knew that would be the one.
I mean, after you've crunched a few times, you can't, you just don't get that same glassy sound.
unidentified
I don't eat light bulbs.
benton in arkansas
But anyways, um, I wanted to say, first off, and I know you get this a lot, but, um, I finally found my mentor in life, you know, cause I've been trying to do amateur radio my whole life.
And then I found the show when I was 33, so.
unidentified
Really?
benton in arkansas
Which was just a couple months ago, man, and you're the best.
art bell
Thank you so much.
You know we're on WTWW, shortwave.
You know that?
benton in arkansas
In Arkansas?
unidentified
No.
benton in arkansas
I was wondering what station you would be on out here.
I don't have any stories as far as goes with my adult life, but when I was a kid, I saw all kinds of things.
I was super afraid of the dark, and I kind of still am, to be honest with you.
But I would stare at things.
You know how when you're a kid, I don't know if I'm the only one, I would stare at things and those things would come to life or I would imagine things and they would be there and I'll never forget those things.
I don't remember my dreams today, but I remember those things.
And so they would happen every night.
And you remember when you were talking to that guy about, I forget the name of it, was talking about right when you fall asleep, you start having these visions, these crazy visions.
Between sleep and awake?
art bell
Okay, I don't, not so much crazy visions, I start thinking kind of chaotic crazy thoughts and I sometimes I'll wake up a little bit and I'll say to myself, wow, I was just about to go to sleep and that's how I know I'm actually going to sleep.
I start thinking these random nutty thoughts.
benton in arkansas
Well, it got so bad when I was a kid that I don't know what happened.
I think someone helped me because I had a vision of me, just a brief moment vision of me laying on a table with these, I guess they're greys, I don't know what they are, around me for like a brief second.
I'll never forget it.
And I woke up because I was used to fighting my sleep because I was afraid to fall asleep too.
I mean, just full of anxiety.
And I wouldn't even, I would stare at the wall, but I saw a shadow go across my window with some really lanky legs, like two pair of them.
I haven't seen anything my whole life.
I know that was real.
I kind of feel like maybe somebody came along, you know, that's from maybe, I don't know, another dimension to, I don't know, do something to me where I would quit doing that, you know?
Because it was getting real bad.
My dad almost had to go see a shrink.
art bell
Your dad?
benton in arkansas
Yeah.
art bell
You mean he would have taken you to see a shrink?
benton in arkansas
Yeah, and then I just told him, I said, I don't know what happened, but I don't see that stuff anymore, you know?
unidentified
And then to the guy before that was talking about the Muslims and, you know, religion.
benton in arkansas
Were you talking about the world would be better without religion?
art bell
Well, it might be.
benton in arkansas
I mean, religion was designed as a doorway, and it's a clear mystery.
And Jesus flat out told everybody that scribes and Pharisees were the harbingers of hell.
That's the people that make religions, enforce them, write books.
You're not going to get to the truth about who you are Well, that's not wholly fair.
I mean, yes, it's getting all the press.
When it bleeds, it leads.
But you've got a point.
serving one force or the other and right now religion seems to be serving the dark side it seems.
art bell
Well, that's not wholly fair. I mean, yes, it's getting all the press. When it bleeds, it leads. But, you've got a
point.
Thank you very, very much for the call. I don't know.
Would the world be better off without religion?
It might.
If people had a basic human understanding of right and wrong, which I believe we have, a basic understanding and compassion for others, which I believe we have, and if they just paid attention to all of that, we probably wouldn't need religion.
Because most of the wars, frankly, are, you know, because of Religion.
Now, here's somebody on Skype who says their name is MyInfo.
That's an odd name there.
Info, are you there?
unidentified
You're talking to me?
art bell
Who else is gonna be called MyInfo?
myinfo in idaho
I didn't know that was my Skype name.
art bell
It's your Skype name, yes.
myinfo in idaho
Yeah, uh, I was gonna call your special line, but, uh, This man that I knew, he was more human than most people I've met in my life.
art bell
Okay, but we're looking for encounters with, uh, inhuman.
unidentified
Well, that's... I'm gonna use the pseudonym John.
art bell
Alright.
myinfo in idaho
It'll be apparent why.
unidentified
Um... He... We came to find out he was a clone.
art bell
A clone?
myinfo in idaho
Oh, I don't know if you'd classify that as human or not.
art bell
I'm sorry, if I want, you broke up a little.
myinfo in idaho
Oh, if you would classify him as human or not.
art bell
A clown?
unidentified
No, I would say disqualifies.
myinfo in idaho
But I would say that he has more humanity than most people I've met.
I, uh, I'll tell you that I am in the state of Idaho.
art bell
Idaho.
Sir, you are breaking up on us, and that's really a shame, because I'd love to hear the story.
What are you talking on?
myinfo in idaho
I'm on, uh, my cell phone.
I'm standing next to my Wi-Fi.
Am I coming through clear now?
art bell
Um, you're talking into the phone, not the speaker.
You don't have it on speaker phone, right?
myinfo in idaho
Uh, no, I don't believe I do.
Let me, let me check.
art bell
Yeah, check that out, because that could be what's going on here.
Never, never, never call us on a speakerphone.
Make sure it's just set up like a regular phone.
Well, I'm afraid he's pushed the wrong button.
And gone away.
myinfo in idaho
Oh, there you are.
I'm not on speaker, so I guess it's just cutting out the way it is.
art bell
Yeah, okay.
Well, stay close to the router.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
And we'll try it.
Go ahead, keep going.
myinfo in idaho
Alright, so I went to high school with this kid, and growing up, he was nerdy, you know.
For lack of a better word, he didn't have a lot of friends.
I was an athlete.
I played sports.
Kind of more in the popular group, but he got picked on a lot.
I hated bullies growing up.
I befriended this kid and we became really close.
But there was something strange about him.
He could solve science and math problems that my teachers Had no clue as to what he was even doing.
They didn't understand on the level that he did.
And his parents, or who we believe his parents were at the time, worked in the restaurant industry.
And we couldn't figure out where the science and math just genius came from and you know we thought maybe it was just a gift he had well we both you have a terrible cold don't you i i am i am a little sick yeah we but anyway so the bottom line to this well we uh we ended up attending university together
And, uh, I don't want to give out any names or be specific.
art bell
I don't want you to, yes.
myinfo in idaho
Right.
That university cloned a mule in 2003.
A mule?
Yes.
unidentified
It was called the Idaho Gem Project.
You now, and you know this for sure?
myinfo in idaho
The IcoGem project, for sure, it's completely on the record.
They've cloned a few mules.
art bell
Cloning animals is a fairly well-known ability, but you're about to tell me that they cloned this person, right?
myinfo in idaho
Well, what we came to find out was it wasn't they, per se, that cloned him.
It was...
A member of, and like I said, I don't want to use names, it was a member of the team, the driving force behind it, the, I guess, the doctor who was the head of the program.
unidentified
Just couldn't resist, huh?
myinfo in idaho
Yes, and we figured this out through classes with him and at first it was it was strange because he bears such a likeness to him and we of course at that time we didn't think that we were dealing with a clone or anything like that.
art bell
Well a clone would bear an exact resemblance.
myinfo in idaho
Well right except for 30 years 40 years younger.
Oh.
So, but they looked very similar.
art bell
I'd be all for this if you could, like, download your mind into the 30-year-younger body, and then I'd be all for it.
myinfo in idaho
Well, they were two separate individuals.
unidentified
Yeah, I get that.
myinfo in idaho
Yeah.
art bell
So you're saying an illegal human cloning has been done, and you were a witness to it?
myinfo in idaho
I was not witness to the cloning.
I was only four years old, five years old, when the cloning took place.
I'm in my mid-twenties now.
My friend, unfortunately, passed away when he was 21 of some rare cancer.
But he made me promise that I would... Never tell.
No, that I would.
That I would tell.
art bell
Expose you?
Really?
myinfo in idaho
Yeah, that I would.
Well, then I see why you're on the radio then, but you're, you know, you're not giving us names, and... Well, right, and I could give you names, but I don't know that you would want me to do that.
art bell
Probably not, now that I think it over, but I'll tell you what, send me an email, name names.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Alright?
Alright, thank you very much.
You know, I can kind of buy that, that there has been a human cloning.
How about you?
They clone animals, right?
So, could there be a human cloning?
Yes, I really think so.
unidentified
I think it's entirely possible.
art bell
Alright, let's go back to the phone and you are on the air.
unidentified
Welcome.
Hi Art, how are you doing?
art bell
Very well sir, thank you.
unidentified
Just before going on, I just wanted to express my condolences to Brian, who runs the Midnight in the Desert fan group.
He lost his dog a couple of weeks ago, and I just wanted to send that out there for good vibes to him.
art bell
Okay, thank you for doing that.
It's very sad.
When you lose an animal, it's like losing a member of the family.
I know all about it.
unidentified
Absolutely, and he runs a great group, so I felt terrible for him.
But I just have one quick correction and then one comment if that's all right.
Sure.
About an hour ago, somebody called talking about the Attorney General wanting to, I think he said, prosecute anti-Muslim rhetoric.
art bell
That's right.
unidentified
And just to be totally fair, that's not really true.
What she said she wants to do is she wants to look into rhetoric that specifically is an incitement to violence and has the danger of causing imminent lawless action.
And this is well within the government's right to regulate speech under Brandenburg v. Ohio, which is a seminal First Amendment case, and it really hasn't been challenged in 50 years.
I just wanted to clear that up because I think giving half the story makes it seem like she wants to prosecute something more than the government's ever done, and that's not the case.
art bell
Well, I just don't think it's going to fly anyway.
I mean, you know, you can pretty much, in America, say what you want to say.
unidentified
Yeah, absolutely.
art bell
Now, there's something that are called fighting words.
I get that.
And I guess there's hate speech.
I get that.
But there's still this First Amendment saying you can say what you want.
Now there's consequences.
unidentified
Sure, and nobody's saying that you can't say something, but I guess the issue is, you know, for example, Brandenburg v. Ohio, the case that really established this test of eminent lawless danger, is You know, it came from a... Brandenburg, the defendant, was part of the KKK.
And what the case upheld is the right to prosecute if someone is inciting action that is... You know, there has to be a high likelihood that it's going to cause somebody to cause harm to someone else.
So if you're on the street and you have 50 people who have guns and you say... Oh yeah, I mean, look, there's a law against inciting...
art bell
inciting to murder, right? Or... It's a similar idea, but yeah. Yeah, similar. Okay, I get it.
unidentified
And that's exactly what she was saying. It wasn't this broad, you can't see anything bad about
Muslims, you can't see anything bad about Christians. It was, you know, very specific and
very narrow, and I think that it's just a myth characterization presented as this broad general
thing, which is, like you said, you know, it's that that's an opposition to the First Amendment,
it's an opposition to free speech.
art bell
Right.
Well, I think that there should be laws then against disparagement or... with any religion, that kind of... I mean, why make it just Muslim?
unidentified
Yeah, I know, and if somebody was to make an incitement to kill Christians, then that would be prosecuted.
You know, you could prosecute that also.
There would be an action against that as well.
art bell
One would think so, yes.
unidentified
But then my other comment was earlier today you talked about...
art bell
If you have another comment, hold on to it, we've got a break.
unidentified
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get through this.
you you
Midnight Matters are best handled by those that understand how to move in the darkness.
Like Art Bell.
To call the show, please dial 1-952-CALL-ART.
That's 1-952-225-5278.
So, I got my producer on the line.
She's hard to fool.
So I said... I said, ha ha.
Did you buy it?
art bell
So I got my producer on the line. She's hard to fool. So I said
They said haha, did you buy it truth? She responds first bite. Yeah
Aww.
Then I realized you were pranking us.
I said, it's the first bite I cared about.
She responded, I thought you'd finally flipped your cookie.
Was dying laughing.
unidentified
Don't rule it out.
art bell
One day I may give it a try.
But not after studying some silly video.
Hello there.
You're back on the air again, sir.
unidentified
Hi, thanks, Art.
My last comment was, I know earlier you mentioned the recent news about women being able to go into various combat roles in the military.
art bell
Well, they can even be drafted.
How about that?
unidentified
Sure.
I was wondering if you're familiar with the Women's Protection Units in Rojava, in, I guess, Kurdistan Territory.
They're one of the more instrumental groups in fighting ISIS in the area.
Uh, if you're not, if you haven't heard of them, there are plenty of videos online.
You can look up YPJ.
art bell
I will do that.
I have not heard of them and I will check into it.
unidentified
And I mention it just because I plan on, uh, in about six or seven months when I finish up school, I plan on going over to their country, their, their, you know, sort of pseudo country.
And helping them out in any way that I can.
All right.
I think it's important.
And yeah, I think they're a great example for what women can do in a military setting.
art bell
All right.
When I bit down, did you think I bit into the bulb?
unidentified
You know, between you and me, and I guess everybody listening, I happen to know how to eat a light bulb.
So at the first second I thought you did, but then after six seconds I said you were done.
larry in ghost train pictures
That's right.
unidentified
And you weren't.
art bell
All I cared about was that first bite.
Thank you very much.
They say the first bite is Well, I can't repeat that.
Hello, you're on the air, on my special line.
unidentified
Hello.
Hi.
How you doing, Art?
art bell
I had to ask that, didn't I?
Why does everybody ask that?
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
It's just a normal human greeting, but I'm going to try to stop people from doing it somehow or another.
I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish that.
unidentified
Sorry about that.
Alrighty.
Anyways, mine is back in April of 2005.
The only reason I know that is because I had just gotten back from Iraq.
So, I hadn't seen my aunt in a while and I was over there and she was heading to the grocery store so I figured I'd go over there because I was on leave and my girlfriend was at work at the time.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
So, we went to the grocery store and we were in the dairy aisle.
I was looking for some creamer, and all of a sudden I heard this whimpering sound, like a... I don't know, like a low-pitched... I don't know, when you're real nervous, you hear this... Maybe you make, like, a little squeak or something, but it was real long.
And I turned around to see what it was, and it was my aunt.
She was making this sound, and she was, like, starting to become really hysterical.
And I asked her, what are you doing?
Like, what's wrong with you?
And she couldn't speak at first, and finally she said, that man over there, They're staring at me and he has the most sadistic look on his face.
And I looked over, there's absolutely no one over there.
Wow.
She's starting to get really hysterical.
So finally I'm like, I got to get her out of here.
So I started walking her past the registers and she is like crying hysterically.
I'm like starting to get embarrassed, but I get her to the car.
I look back.
Cause he keeps crying.
As soon as we got there, she just let out a big cry and said, he's still looking at me and all this.
And I turn around and it just gives me chills.
I saw this, it was a guy.
He was, he couldn't have been five foot tall, but he had the most grotesque face I'd ever seen in my life.
And But he had these, I don't know, I guess I would say... This is when you're in the car with your aunt?
art bell
Is that correct?
unidentified
No, this is, she is getting in the car and I'm turning around... Oh, I see.
And I saw it.
art bell
Finally.
unidentified
This thing was disgusting, yes, and it nodded its head at me.
I turned around, my aunt pulled out of the supermarket and left me there.
What?
art bell
Your hand after you help her out?
unidentified
Oh my goodness.
art bell
Then she leaves you in the parking lot with this grotesque, horrible thing?
unidentified
Well, that's the thing.
I look back at her, because I had to have turned white.
You know what I mean?
Because I turned way back around because I was so scared.
And then when I turned back, it was gone.
And so I was, I sat there thinking, there's no way this could have just happened.
There's no way.
I'm thinking, like, maybe it's PTSD, blah, blah, blah, but she saw this.
You know what I mean?
She's the one who got all scared at this, so I couldn't even get a hold of her.
art bell
So scared she squeaked.
unidentified
She did.
It was insane.
art bell
All right, sir.
Thank you very much for the call.
I love the part about her climbing in the car, turning the key on, and peeling out, leaving you to deal with This horrible, grotesque thing that causes people to squeak.
Just bad, bad, bad.
Alright folks, we're in the last hour here, so I guess let me recite the phone numbers.
If you would like to join us, if you have had an inhuman encounter, then we have an inhuman encounter line.
That means those of you who have had a, at the very least, a face-to-face encounter, kind of like this man just described, with something clearly not human.
If that's you, it's area code 575-208-7787.
unidentified
Area code 575-208-7787.
art bell
Area Code 575-208-7787.
Area Code 575-208-7787.
And if you're a first-time caller to the program, it's Area Code 775-285-5087.
Then, of course, Skype M-I-T-T 5-1 in North America.
And remember, just talk directly into the phone.
No speaker phones.
If you doubt whether your Skype is working, there's this thing called the Skype Echo Server.
You can talk into it and listen to how it comes back, and you'll know whether you're going to sound good Before you call.
So, there you have it.
Uh, let's go to the first time caller line.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Bart Bell.
Yes, indeed.
larry in ghost train pictures
So many late nights working in the film industry.
I'm an animation director.
This is Larry over at Ghost Train Pictures.
art bell
Larry, are you on speakerphone?
Larry?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Are you on speakerphone?
larry in ghost train pictures
No, I am not.
art bell
What do you want?
larry in ghost train pictures
I've got my headset on.
art bell
Um, your headset is not active or not working properly.
You're on what, a laptop?
larry in ghost train pictures
Yeah, I'm on my desktop.
art bell
Okay, so you don't have it actually engaged in Skype.
Here's what you've got to do.
Just put the mic away because it's not working anyway and get close to the laptop because that's the microphone that's working.
larry in ghost train pictures
Okay, is this any better?
art bell
No, actually it's worse.
larry in ghost train pictures
Okay, hold on a second.
unidentified
How about that?
art bell
It's really bad.
unidentified
Well, shoot.
I'll try to make this fast.
art bell
What I'm going to ask you to do is what I've been telling you.
I'm sincerely sorry, but it's just not good enough to be on the air.
I may have made it worse, actually, by trying to have you repair it.
So go to the Skype Echo server and say something and wait for it to come back and you will see how you sound.
And you can make improvements and test and you can use that Echo server as frequently as you like until you sound really, really good.
So we're going to, let's see, let's go to Iowa City, Iowa.
unidentified
Hello!
Oh, Art, I'm so glad you picked up, because if you had waited another minute, I would have broken your shoe during Maximum.
Well, thanks for taking my call.
Before I say what I wanted to say, I did want to correct something a previous caller said about how they haven't released the names of the San Bernardino victims.
They actually did today.
As a matter of fact, NPR spent most of the day reading short bios throughout their programs of the victims.
art bell
Yeah, I know.
Even CNN has been interviewing relatives of the victims, that sort of thing.
unidentified
I see.
Did they break into their houses too?
art bell
I beg your pardon?
unidentified
Did they break into their houses too?
art bell
CNN and the media, that's not fair.
They didn't break into that house.
This guy who owns the building invited them in.
I wonder what has become of him, though.
I mean, a black SUV whisked him up and took him away.
unidentified
Whisked him away, yeah.
That's interesting.
Well, the reason I'm calling you is I was wondering if you've heard a song called The Bottomless Hole by a band called The Hanson Family?
art bell
Hanson I have.
unidentified
It's a trippy little alternative country song, but it's influenced by Mel's Hole.
So I thought you might be interested in... Well, of course I am.
art bell
Can you send me a copy?
unidentified
I probably could, yeah.
art bell
I don't know why they didn't just go ahead and call it Mel's Hall.
unidentified
Yeah, that's a good question, I don't know.
art bell
That's a guy I'd love to interview is Mel.
You know, I think he's in Australia.
Mel, if you can hear me buddy, call.
unidentified
The last show I had heard he was in Australia.
art bell
Yeah, same here.
I've actually gone back now and I've interviewed the majority of the original Pretty wild guest that I've interviewed.
Mel is an exception and I'd love to have the opportunity to, you know, before he passes or I pass or whatever.
unidentified
Have you had Riley Martin on?
Would you consider having Riley Martin on again?
I would.
Yeah, I think he'd be fun.
art bell
I wonder what he's doing.
unidentified
Well, he was doing a show on Howard Stern's radio station for a while about about his experiences.
He had a huge falling out with him over money, but that was some good radio, too.
art bell
Well, falling out.
Drama.
Appreciate it, sir.
Thank you.
We'll look into Riley on our special line, face-to-face with something non-human.
unidentified
Hello.
Ardell.
art bell
Yes, ma'am.
spontane in unknown
It is spontane here.
And I have been wanting to talk to you about this ever since you had your encounter with an inhuman being.
Okay?
art bell
Well, you mean a shadow person.
spontane in unknown
Well, okay.
Yeah, we'll call it that.
Okay?
It's the early 90s, and I had been practicing certain tantric yoga practices for about two years in order to try to cause a spiritual event in my life, and it's called Kundalini Awakening.
unidentified
Okay.
spontane in unknown
It's been studied for like 4,000 years by the Hindus, and they've really got a lot of writings on this, and I warn everybody, don't try this at home.
unidentified
Okay.
spontane in unknown
Okay?
unidentified
Like light bulbs.
spontane in unknown
What?
art bell
I said like light bulbs.
Eating light bulbs.
spontane in unknown
Yeah, like light bulbs.
And you had me going the whole time.
I was like flinching, going, oh, no, no, no, no.
art bell
That first bite was pretty good, huh?
Sounded good.
unidentified
It was really, hey, I was in it on the 2nd and 3rd like you did.
art bell
Oh really?
spontane in unknown
Alright.
Anyway, okay.
unidentified
Yes.
spontane in unknown
So back to the story, okay.
So there, I had been doing these practices and I had gone to bed that evening and I was laying in my bed on my side facing the doorway.
And I was in that kind of relaxed place, kind of in between awake and asleep.
unidentified
Right.
spontane in unknown
And I suddenly perceived a being at my door.
And I was told immediately, do not open your eyes or you will lose your mind.
Be still, do not move.
And I did not let the fear of it override my reason.
So I complied.
The being approached my bed and started working on my body, leaning over me.
And I could see through my eyelids.
I could see that it was hooded.
art bell
What do you mean working on your body?
spontane in unknown
It was like a, if you could imagine a chiropractor except with a quantum level of ability to permeate the tissues and do things.
art bell
Quantum, alright, quantum chiropractor.
spontane in unknown
There you go.
And I was terrified, but I was determined I was not going to let the fear ruin the experience for me, and that's what I think might happen sometimes with people.
Anyway, he, it seemed like a he.
And I could see it through my eyelids.
And it had a robe on.
It was tall, dark.
I couldn't really see the face.
Thank God.
Didn't want to.
And it did things to my body that felt like it activated a battery pack at the bottom of my spine.
And it was like five million orgasms going up your spine at one time.
art bell
So, this is not all bad.
I mean, this is not terror.
spontane in unknown
No, no, no.
Listen, I'm telling you, it's a positive experience.
That's what I've been wanting to tell you about.
Okay, so it goes all the way up, and it's supposed to go up to the top of your head, if you do it right.
Well, because I'm a smoker, I had damage in my upper lungs, and the energy flowed into my heart chakra.
And in Tibet, they call this, I have now have, and have had since this happened.
Something called wind horse disease.
And it's very hard to manage.
It's due to some past life injuries I'm sure you don't want to hear about right now.
The point is that it came back for three consecutive nights.
I mean it did its thing and I flinched.
What happened was I flinched and it went in through, it was like it went in through my heart and spread out through my upper chest.
art bell
Well, how do you know it was a, maybe it was a she and you've had a... No, it felt like a he.
spontane in unknown
I'm pretty good at reading stuff and you have to be to do this stuff.
And it was a he.
unidentified
And my impression... I would not think less of you if it was a she.
spontane in unknown
I know, but the thing I want to talk to you about is, the point I want to make is that, you're so funny, the point I want to make was that it seemed like it was a member of an ancient, it had never been human, it was an ancient being, very very, I mean like millions of years old maybe.
art bell
Which you could see through your closed eyelids, right?
spontane in unknown
Yes sir, sure could, and it seemed like it was there, almost like it was Returning an old favor or maybe it had something to do with my ancestry.
There was a link there between me and this thing.
But my impression was that it was a minion of the angel of death.
And so in your earlier calls when you were talking about maybe that was death knocking at your door, which the calls have been excellent, as usual.
But the impression I had was that this was called to me because my energy had gotten high enough Yeah, I played classical music and the energy is still moving through my body, but it came back three nights in a row in different stages of sleep in different formats.
My message to you is, what if you had not had the fear response?
Maybe you were having some kind of unknown physical Is that happening when you were working that night?
No, not really.
art bell
So, yeah, she could have missed out on the big one.
The big O, right?
Let's go to... I can't pronounce this.
Can you pronounce your name for me?
unidentified
Aaron Cosron.
art bell
Okay.
myinfo in idaho
Yeah, it's actually Markson from Winnipeg, Canada.
art bell
Really, it's A-A-R-Y-N-K-A-S-R-A.
You don't want to fool me or something like that.
Anyway, how are you doing?
myinfo in idaho
I'm good.
tim in colby
It's an honor to talk to you.
unidentified
I've been listening to you for like 20 years.
See, I don't really have a question, I just called in because I just got a Time Traveler subscription.
tim in colby
Oh, yes.
unidentified
And they really recommend it, so I just wanted to say that to everyone.
art bell
It's so you can listen anytime you want to priceless nights like this.
myinfo in idaho
Yeah, that's awesome.
art bell
Where you can hear me again and again crunch on a potato chip and have everybody out there wince.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
tim in colby
And also I'm really glad you didn't bite the bulb.
I'm glad you're back.
art bell
Bite the bulb?
Yeah, that's a way to put it.
So, uh, any strange events in your life, sir?
Save listening to the show?
unidentified
Not really.
Just trying to kill the night shift, which comes in handy.
art bell
Um, it's really nice to have talk radio if you're at work and you're able to listen to it.
Pretty cool way to go, I'd say.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
tim in colby
Yeah, and thanks a lot for coming back.
It's awesome that you're back on the air.
art bell
Thank you, my friend.
unidentified
Bye.
art bell
See you later.
All right, we're going to have a talk on the Fast Blast for the end, but not yet.
I just want you all thinking about it.
It's going to be only on the phone.
I cannot do Fast Blast with Skype because people can never quickly enough get there.
You know, maybe I could.
I think, though, that they would not get their devices turned down fast enough, so we'll hold it You've never called the show, huh?
I have not, but I've been listening to you for a long time.
Well then, welcome.
unidentified
What's up?
art bell
York, Pennsylvania, I believe it is. First time caller.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello.
Hi Art.
Yes.
Great honor to talk to you.
Thank you.
art bell
You've never called the show, huh?
unidentified
I have not, but I've been listening to you for a long time.
art bell
Well then welcome. What's up?
Thank you.
unidentified
I have a story for you, but actually I wanted to know if anyone out there knows what I've experienced.
experience.
art bell
Well, wait, let me try.
No, I can't pull it in.
I tried.
unidentified
You're going to have to tell me.
I will.
I had an experience when I was younger.
And I'm not sure if it was a demon or shadow people or just a ghost or an entity, but I've had this experience where at first it was knocking on the wall at me and I thought it was neat at first, so I started knocking back at it.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah?
So, um, and then it just got, it got more intense.
Like, I started seeing things, like, in my room when I would try to go to sleep, I would turn the lights off, and I would see, like, like dark shadows of people walking across my room, and I've been, like, physically hit, and I had an experience where It looked like television lights were on but there was no television lights on like you know how like when the television lights flash I do you can see like oh yes like colors of changes of lights yes but there was nothing in the room so I just like stopped and I like froze because I was so scared I just froze and I'm not sure what I experienced but I had like someone I was like
Sitting in a chair, like on the couch, and I had, like, somebody sit down beside me where you could feel, like, the seat beside you was going down.
Yeah.
Do you know what that might have been?
Um, no.
art bell
I'm sorry, I don't have a clue.
Um, you can't call me with something like that.
There was something beside me.
It's like it went back, you know, like it was laying back.
What was that, Art?
I have no idea.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
It was a great story, but if you were depending on me for information about what it was, you're definitely barking up the wrong tree.
All right, let me try real quickly.
Cynthia on Skype.
Hello, Cynthia.
unidentified
Hi, I have an experience with outer world being, I guess you could call it.
I had a host guest, and I came out of the bathroom, she had put my coffee craft in the microwave.
And I yelled, get that out of there!
And she screamed.
And I thought I had scared her, and then she said, there was a man standing over there.
And I said, uh, did he have blonde hair and white clothes?
She said, yes.
I said, oh, that's my guardian angel.
Okay.
art bell
And that was indeed a guardian angel?
unidentified
Yeah, I had met him before.
art bell
Um, I've always wondered if guardian angels are even real.
unidentified
I believe in them.
I believe there's other spirits that protect us, too.
art bell
Well, do you think that if, for example, I hate to say this, but let's say you're in a car speeding toward an intersection, and you go blowing through a stop sign, and another car is going to broadside you, do you think your guardian angel would step in and see to it that you invisibly just transform right through the car without harm?
unidentified
That could very well be.
In fact, I had an experience once where, um, a guy ran a red light.
We should have collided, but somehow we had both managed... our cars had turned to avoid collision.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And it was, like, really strange.
Mm-hmm.
art bell
Well, um... Guardian Angels, huh?
I wouldn't test that theory any more than I'd eat a light bulb, for real.
Let's go to, uh...
I have no idea what this is.
First time caller online, you're on the air.
larry in ghost train pictures
Art Bell, this is Larry again.
art bell
Uh, Larry, you're only allowed to call once.
That's an absolute... No, no, no, no, no.
larry in ghost train pictures
You hung up on me earlier because my connection was bad.
art bell
Oh, over on Skype.
unidentified
That's right.
Whew.
larry in ghost train pictures
Boy, I'm glad you didn't hang up on me.
unidentified
Okay, go ahead.
larry in ghost train pictures
So, I'm now on my cell phone.
art bell
Okay.
larry in ghost train pictures
So, this is my...
Encounter story.
I am an animation director, work in the film industry, and thankfully have had you to keep me company for all these years.
I was in India on a production, and this was about 2008, and I was at the very southern tip of India near a city called Trivandrum.
I had been by the ocean that evening, decided I was going to go home, stay at the nicest hotel there in Trivandrum called the Mascot Hotel.
So I fall asleep with the lights on around 12 30 a.m.
and approximately 2 in the morning I wake up like someone had shoved me and I thought well I just woke myself up I kicked in my sleep but I noticed I'd left the lights on in the television so I sit up in bed and I reach over to turn the lamp off and there starts to be this brownout.
In India electricity sometimes is inconsistent.
art bell
I understand yes.
larry in ghost train pictures
But when I reached for the light, it didn't feel like the light was just dimming.
It felt like the light was getting sucked out of the room.
And I suddenly became aware of this presence above me and just to the right, and I looked up, and imagine if you're in a swimming pool wearing a snorkel mask where everything's crystal clear, and someone were to pour a five-gallon bucket of India ink down on top of you.
This dark cloud comes down, And out of this cloud, two cloud-like tingles drop out, and they seemed to touch my tongue.
And at the moment they made contact, I wasn't able to move.
And the closest thing I can describe this as is when I was a kid, I was five years old, and I stuck a key into an electrical outlet, and that electric charge when you can't move for a moment, that's what it felt like.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
Wow.
larry in ghost train pictures
So I tried to speak, and slowly, I didn't have to think about it, it just came out of my mouth, I said, the Lord is holy!
It was like, boom!
Had to get it out.
And immediately, this dimensional presence just flattened, like looking at an inkblot under a microscope between the two pieces of glass, and it slid away.
It didn't go through the wall, it slid away from my being able to see it.
And I jumped out of bed, and I didn't have any fear.
I would have thought if someone had told me this was going to happen, I'd be terrified.
unidentified
So saying the Lord is holy saved you?
larry in ghost train pictures
It absolutely did.
And again, back to some of the other callers, what they were saying about religion, man, I'm right on board.
art bell
All right, well, you obviously are.
Yeah, you obviously are right on board.
Now, I've never met anybody who, at a moment like that, yelled something like, Mickey Mouse is real!
Probably wouldn't work.
And, if you're that scared, you probably wouldn't say that anyway, right?
I'm Art Bell and this is Midnight in the Heretical Desert.
unidentified
Come on, men and women.
Skype up.
Call Midnight in the Desert at MITD 51.
That's MITD 51.
That's right.
art bell
That's the way to get through on Skype and listen to me, ladies and gentlemen.
About 10 minutes before the end of the show, we're going to begin doing what I call Fast Blasts.
And here's the way it's going to work.
We're going to do it tonight only on the telephone.
Telephone lines only.
Therefore, prepare to jot down a number.
I'm going to get them out here in a second.
And when I answer the phone, I'm going to say you're on the air, and that's all I'm going to say, and you're going to hear a little ding sound, then you're going to hear me say I'm on the air.
Don't say, how are you, Art?
Don't say, hi, Art.
Just give me one sentence that's meaningful.
unidentified
Alright?
art bell
Don't say anything bad, because if you do, I will push the button on you, and then your sentence will not be heard by anybody.
Do not give out a website, because we're not allowing websites to be given out anymore because of people who give out XXX websites.
I don't want anybody misled into, well, heaven knows what, right?
So, those are the rules.
One sentence.
Say your sentence, whatever it is.
Don't say, Hi Art.
Don't say, How are you Art?
Don't even say, Roswells.
unidentified
Nothing!
art bell
Just give me your sentence, one sentence.
I'm going to give you about 10 seconds and I'm going to move on to the next call.
Now, all of that said, here are the numbers.
The public number is Area Code 952-225-5278.
area code 952-225-5278.
Keep dialing because we're going to move so fast that, you know, once we begin you'll get through.
Then also you can use area code 5-7-5-2-0-8-7-7-8-7.
That is presently our creature line.
208-7787.
That is presently our creature line.
Area code 575-208-7787.
And finally, the first time caller line is also available at area code
One more time.
unidentified
775-285-5800.
art bell
And we're about 10 or 15 minutes away from that point.
And when we get there, we're just going to go through lines like there's no tomorrow.
and we're about 10 or 15 minutes away from that point.
And when we get there, we're just going to go through lines like there's no tomorrow.
Let's go to Denver and say, oh, you're on the air.
unidentified
Um, Howard.
I've never been on a radio show before, so I'm real nervous.
art bell
Oh, well, just relax.
Take a deep breath.
unidentified
Okay.
Okay.
I swear to you, this whole story is true.
Okay.
Um, when I was a little kid, um, I was probably six or seven.
So this would have been 76, 77.
Um, we lived in, you know, my family's house and we had just moved there a couple of years, um, Before that, I had friends and family that came over and when we were kids we would stay up late and we would watch things on TV and several people saw this.
Two of my cousins saw it, several of my friends, several of my sister's friends, my sister.
When you were sitting on the couch in the den, you could see through the kitchen to the hallway that went down to the bedrooms.
And we would see this white figure walk past that doorway.
And that's all it would ever do.
And when me and my sister were asleep at night, or going to sleep at night, occasionally we would see it walk past.
And it never did anything but that.
And it was just this white figure, like the shape of a man, but it had no features.
So one night, I'm laying in bed, And I used to be just terrified of the dark, just terrified of the dark.
And I'm laying in bed and I would wake up at night and I would call my dad for a glass of water.
And I didn't really care if I got a glass of water or not.
I was just scared.
Um, so I called my dad and I'm like sitting up in the bed and I'm like, daddy, daddy.
And the white thing walked past the door and stopped.
And it had never done that before.
And it turns around and it looks at me, and I'm not at all scared, okay?
I should have been.
If I saw this thing today, I would have been terrified.
art bell
Okay, we're almost out of time here.
unidentified
Okay, okay, okay.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It said, what do you want?
And I said, oh, I want my daddy.
And he said, why?
And I said, because I want a glass of water.
And then he started talking to me, and I don't remember what he said.
And then the next thing I know, I'm screaming.
And my dad comes down the hall with a shotgun and then my mom is in the room with me crying her eyes out, hugging me.
And the best way I can describe it is it glowed.
It was white and it had a glow to it.
And it almost looked like the texture of like when you look at the moon.
And my parents would never talk about it.
And 10 years ago, before my dad died, I asked him about that night.
And he told me the rest of the story.
And I don't know if we've got time for that or not, but... Actually, we don't.
art bell
It's got to be real fast.
unidentified
What was it?
Well, he said that they were laying in bed and he woke up and he could hear my mom crying.
And then he was like laying on his back, which he doesn't normally lay on his back.
art bell
Ten seconds, sir.
unidentified
Okay.
He looked over.
She's crying.
He couldn't move.
She couldn't move.
And there were these figures standing around him.
And he heard somebody talking to me.
And then all of a sudden, I started screaming.
Everything disappeared.
And then he ran and got his gun and came in there.
That's the whole story.
art bell
All right.
Thank you very much for wrapping it up.
All right.
We are now going to engage Fast Blast.
All of the numbers that I gave you are now operational.
So when I punch that button, I want you to give me about one sentence that's very important and stop there, because that's all the time we've got.
And here we go.
You're on the air.
unidentified
God, please bless the earth.
wolfman in dm talkers
Indeed.
art bell
Very well done.
Thank you.
