Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Wed Aug 06 2025
Description: Art Bell opens with a tribute to Elena's haunting motorcycle photo tour through the abandoned zones around Chernobyl, urging every listener to view the images. He covers news ranging from the Madrid bombing suspects' suicide standoff to NASA's scramjet reaching 5,000 miles per hour, then launches into open lines with a passionate segment opposing broadband over power lines, warning it will cripple emergency communications nationwide.The highlight of the evening is a live interview with Florida ham radio operator Tom, callsign KN4LF, who describes ongoing poltergeist activity in his home. Objects fly across rooms, his wife gets trapped in a locked bathroom with the lights going out, and shadowy figures appear in peripheral vision. Tom reveals that the entity has written her name on a notepad: Sarah James. He describes seeing her materialize as a solid, four-foot-tall girl in 19th-century clothing with an expression of admiration.Tom's wife Ann corroborates the experiences on air, describing a heavy antique soap dish launching across the bathtub. Art also fields calls on topics including feral humans, six-fingered people, a police officer's account of unidentifiable blood found at a crime scene, and Billy the Kid's possible exhumation.
