Description: Art Bell welcomes Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society to present electronic voice phenomena recordings captured during cemetery and private residence investigations. The nonprofit organization follows strict protocols, using only brand new, unopened microcassette tapes and external microphones to eliminate any possibility of recording over previous material.The EVP samples range from a child's voice saying "good idea" during a homeowner's account of ghostly activity to a deeply distressing recording of what sounds like a young girl pleading for help finding her father. Two separate spirit voices captured on a single recording appear to interact with each other, one saying "come here" and the other responding "what," suggesting active consciousness and communication among entities on the other side. A non-English EVP recorded in a cemetery adds another layer of mystery.The episode also marks a milestone as Art Bell's website reaches 100 million visitors. Mark Zeewee of Madera, California, captures the winning screen and becomes the verified 100 millionth visitor, receiving prizes including an autographed KNYE t-shirt and a CC radio.
