Art Bell Vault: Mysterious Outbreak / 'Sarah James' Poltergeist & Open Lines

Just for Coast Insiders, the Art Bell Vault, offers a curated collection, currently containing more than 500 programs, with two vintage shows added to the mix each Wednesday.This week's offerings are a pair of classic programs, beginning with an enlightening episode from 2/11/1997 in which Art talked to Joyce Murphy about a mysterious outbreak that swept through an elementary school in Arkansas. The curious case saw children, teachers, and even healthcare workers come down with strange symptoms resembling radiation poisoning.

Next, we journey back to March 28th, 2004, for a memorable edition of the show wherein Art was joined by a ham radio operator named Tom and his wife, Ann, who recounted an unsettling series of what appeared to be poltergeist events in their home. Objects inexplicably moving on their own, lights going on and off, sightings of a shadowy figure, and physical attacks on their son were among the spooky activity the couple reported experiencing. Chillingly, they explained that they left a pen and paper in the room to see if the suspected spirit would communicate with them and returned to find that the ghost had written the word "boo." The latter half of the program featured Open Lines.

These vintage programs have commercials and breaks removed and are presented in multiple platforms-- available on-demand for Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, and the Coast app. Many of them feature rare "5th" hours of content from back in the 90s when the show had a longer running time. We do include Art's beloved bumper music, which became such an indelible part of his program.

And for the true Art Bell fan, we offer different listening options to fine-tune your experience, such as guest-only, and full show streams. Coast Insiders, we're very happy to bring this offering to you at no additional charge to your subscription!
