October 31, 2007: Ghost to Ghost 2007
Art Bell hosts his annual Ghost to Ghost Halloween special, opening the phone lines for unscreened callers to share their scariest true ghost stories. He establishes clear ground rules: one story per caller, first-person accounts preferred, and no cell phones unless necessary. Art also reads select ghost stories emailed by listeners throughout the broadcast, peppering them between calls to keep the atmosphere charged.Callers deliver a wide range of supernatural encounters, from a woman whose possessed doll terrorized her family with objects moving on their own and plants shaking without explanation, to a man who witnessed a ghostly figure beneath a table in a Bishop, California kitchen. Other stories include encounters with shadow figures, spirits in old houses, and unexplained phenomena in cemeteries. Several callers describe experiences that left lasting psychological impacts, reinforcing Art's firm belief that consciousness survives physical death.Art treats the subject with genuine seriousness, noting that life after death and ghostly phenomena rank among the most important topics he covers. Between the chilling accounts, he shares a family Halloween photo with wife Airyn and daughter Asia, reminding listeners that this once-a-year tradition of open-line ghost stories remains one of the most anticipated broadcasts of the season.

October 26, 2007: Ghost Voice Recordings - Brendan Cook & Barbara McBeath | California Wildfires - Dr. Evelyn Paglini
Art Bell presents a split program featuring EVP researchers Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society alongside psychic Evelyn Paglini with urgent warnings. Cook and McBeath share their most compelling electronic voice phenomena recordings collected over a decade of cemetery and haunted location investigations. Using digital recording equipment, the pair captures ghostly voices that respond to questions in real time, including eerie children's voices that Art finds particularly haunting.The EVP segment explores fundamental questions about consciousness after death, with Cook and McBeath explaining that many spirits may not realize they have died. Their recordings from Virginia City's Brewery Lodge and various mausoleums demonstrate voices expressing sadness, confusion, and sometimes direct communication with the living. Art emphasizes that these non-profit researchers have no financial motive, lending credibility to their work.Dr. Evelyn Paglini joins to discuss the devastating California wildfires, confirming that arson played a significant role in the blazes. She issues warnings about a planned virus being tested on the population, predicts a major stock market correction, and sees a limited nuclear exchange occurring within the next year. She also warns of future fires targeting the Hollywood Hills and an escalation involving Iran before spring.

September 28, 2007: Lost Civilizations and Consciousness - Graham Hancock
Art Bell welcomes bestselling author Graham Hancock to explore the mounting evidence for a lost advanced civilization destroyed roughly 12,500 years ago. Hancock presents Robert Bauval's Orion correlation theory, arguing that the Great Pyramids of Egypt mirror the three belt stars of Orion as they appeared thousands of years before the accepted timeline of Egyptian civilization. He connects this astronomical alignment to new mainstream scientific findings about a comet impact 12,900 years ago that may have triggered the Younger Dryas period and wiped out an entire culture.The discussion moves into the nature of consciousness itself, with Hancock sharing his research into ayahuasca and DMT experiences among indigenous cultures. He describes striking parallels between ancient cave art, shamanic visions, and modern alien abduction accounts, suggesting these encounters may involve contact with other dimensions of reality rather than hallucinations. Hancock challenges the materialist view that consciousness is merely a byproduct of brain chemistry.Art, filling in for the evening, shares personal updates about his family's recent Alaska cruise and baby Asia before diving into the interview. The two explore how ancient monuments may encode warnings for future generations about cyclical cosmic catastrophes that could threaten modern civilization.

July 1, 2007: China and Military Technology - Charles R. Smith
Art Bell welcomes cyber war columnist Charles R. Smith to discuss China's growing military threat and its covert support for global terrorism. Smith reveals that China has been directly supplying the Taliban with advanced weaponry, including HN-5 man-portable surface-to-air missiles, improved RPG-7s, and shoulder-launched fuel-air munitions. The weapons have been flown directly into Taliban-controlled areas of Afghanistan, with Iran serving as a key intermediary in the transactions.The conversation expands into China's broader ambitions, including the Taiwan question and the potential for military confrontation with the United States. Smith describes Operation Smoking Dragon, in which two Chinese operatives were caught in California attempting to sell sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems to people they believed were terrorists planning to shoot down American airliners. He also details how the Chinese military operates as a corporate enterprise, running factories that produce both weapons and everyday consumer goods sold in U.S. stores.Art opens the program with an emotional announcement of his retirement from regular weekend broadcasting, expressing his desire to spend time with his wife and young daughter Asia. Callers respond with warm wishes while also weighing in on the Roswell revelations from the previous night and ongoing terror threats in Great Britain.

June 30, 2007: Roswell Crash - Tom Carey
Art Bell welcomes researcher Tom Carey to discuss groundbreaking developments surrounding the Roswell crash on its 60th anniversary. The centerpiece is a sworn affidavit left by Lieutenant Walter Haut, the base public information officer at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947, who kept his account sealed until after his death. Haut's document goes beyond his original story of merely distributing a press release, revealing that he personally witnessed a craft and non-human bodies at the base.Carey explains how Haut, a man of impeccable character and Blanchard's right-hand man, promised his commanding officer he would never speak publicly about the incident. Rather than cash in during his lifetime through books or television, Haut chose to preserve the truth in a sealed statement opened only upon his passing. The document represents the final chapter of Carey's new book, which had already gone to a second printing.As the interview unfolds, news of Haut's affidavit begins breaking worldwide in outlets from Australia to Great Britain. Callers share their own encounters and reactions, while Art and Carey discuss the Air Force's four increasingly unconvincing cover stories. For Art, this testimony from a man with nothing to gain finally cinches the reality of Roswell.

June 24, 2007: Dark Matter and Hubble - Richard Massey
Art Bell welcomes astronomer Richard Massey, a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology, to discuss his groundbreaking work mapping dark matter using the Hubble Space Telescope. Massey explains that dark matter constitutes roughly 86 percent of the total mass in the universe yet remains completely invisible, detectable only through its gravitational influence on light from distant galaxies through a process called weak gravitational lensing.Massey describes how dark matter forms a vast web of filaments and clumps throughout the cosmos, with enormous voids containing absolutely nothing in between. He explains that wherever ordinary matter exists, dark matter exists alongside it, drawn together by mutual gravitational attraction. The conversation covers how this invisible scaffolding shaped the formation of galaxies and ultimately made life possible.Art also discusses the push for a national Real ID system tied to driver's licenses, noting that five states have already refused to comply and thirteen more are considering defiance. He reads new findings on the honeybee die-off spreading across 35 states, where microscopic examination reveals blackened organs and scarred intestinal tracts in the dead bees, and shares a disturbing lab analysis of substances collected after heavy rainfall that included bacteria, heavy metals, and viruses.

June 23, 2007: Space and Military Technology - Dale Brown | Peak Oil - Matt Savinar
Art Bell speaks with peak oil analyst Matt Savinar, a California attorney who runs the website Life After the Oil Crash. Savinar presents a stark picture of global energy decline, explaining that oil discovery peaked in 1961 and that major companies now spend more searching for oil than the value of what they find. He argues that the effective decline rate, worsened by war and political instability in oil-rich nations, could cut global supply in half within seven years of the peak.The conversation covers shale oil, oil sands, ethanol, and abiotic oil theory, with Savinar systematically dismantling each as a viable replacement for cheap crude. He points to Mexico's 7 percent production drop as an early warning sign and suggests the U.S. government's construction of detention camps anticipates the social collapse that will follow energy shortages in neighboring countries.In the second half, best-selling techno-thriller author Dale Brown joins to discuss his novels and real-world military technology. A former B-52 navigator-bombardier, Brown draws on his Air Force experience to describe advanced weapons systems and space-based defense platforms. Art, a devoted fan of Brown's work, discusses the intersection of fiction and emerging defense capabilities with obvious enthusiasm.

June 17, 2007: Noise, Law, and Technology - Dr. Bart Kosko | UFO Update - James Gilliland
Art Bell welcomes James Gilliland for a UFO update from his ranch in Washington state, where more than 4,000 witnesses have now reported sightings of unexplained aerial objects. Gilliland describes face-to-face encounters with beings he identifies as Pleiadian, portraying them as genetically refined, telepathic, and deeply concerned about Earth's environmental decline and human consciousness. He recounts how military jets have chased craft over his property, only for the objects to vanish and reappear.Later, professor Bart Kosko joins to discuss noise law and emerging technology. Kosko examines how legal frameworks struggle to keep pace with advances in surveillance, digital privacy, and signal processing. The conversation touches on the growing tension between government monitoring capabilities and individual rights, with Kosko offering a mathematician's perspective on where technology is headed.Throughout the program, Art reflects on the decline of bird populations across America, citing Audubon Society data showing a 68 percent average drop in 20 common species over 40 years. He connects this to broader environmental concerns including the ongoing honeybee colony collapse and accelerating climate change, noting that such dramatic shifts measured within a single human lifetime should alarm everyone.
