December 31, 2004: Predictions for 2005 - Part 2
Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Tue Oct 14 2025
Description: Art Bell rings in the new year with the second half of his annual prediction show, opening with somber reflection on the Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 150,000 people just days earlier. He revisits prediction number 93 from the prior year, in which a caller spoke only the word "tsunami," and replays the original audio for listeners. The moment sends chills through the broadcast.New predictions pour in for 2005. A caller in Oregon foresees a major earthquake off Japan sending a tsunami into Seattle that topples the Space Needle. A professional psychic from Hawaii predicts Mount Hood will erupt between March and June. Others forecast a virus attack on New York City, a U.S. aircraft carrier sunk in the Persian Gulf, and the Ark of the Covenant being discovered. Art continues filtering out political wish-fulfillment from genuine psychic impressions.The show takes a philosophical turn as Art questions why predictions are overwhelmingly negative. He asks listeners to email their theories on this phenomenon. A caller from Canada reports her husband dreamed of three sequential tsunamis months before the disaster struck, with the second and third waves yet to come.
