August 25, 2015: Global Market Turmoil - Gerald Celente | Rendlesham Forest - Peter Robbins

Gerald Celente, founder of the Trends Research Institute, joins the first hour to dissect the global market turmoil. Celente argues China is "the canary in the global equity mine," pointing to the Bloomberg Commodity Index at sixteen-year lows, Brazil's real down thirty-six percent, and Canada in recession. He traces the crisis to post-2008 bailouts he calls fascism, noting six banks were convicted for rigging rates yet no one went to prison. Celente forecasts gold past $2,000 and predicts… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-25-2015-global-market-turmoil-gerald-celente-rendlesham-forest-peter-robbins

August 21, 2015: Open Lines - Pact with the Devil

Art Bell declares a special phone line after the Vatican's International Association of Exorcists announces demonic possession at "emergency levels." The question: have you made a deal with the devil? Such a pact need not involve a contract but can be sealed in one's own mind, and Art Bell warns repeatedly that the deal is irrevocable. The line never stops ringing. A caller describes exchanging blood with a self-described vampire at a Hollywood Gothic club at 21, trading his soul for unlimited… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-21-2015-open-lines-pact-with-the-devil

August 20, 2015: EVPs - Barbara McBeath & Brendan Cook

Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeth of the Ghost Investigators Society return after years away for a marathon playback of EVP recordings from nearly two decades of fieldwork. The five original GIS members have been together since 1998, and the material they bring ranges from whispered phrases on analog tape to voices captured in abandoned asylums. The most harrowing recording comes from an empty room in a mental asylum in Ogden, Utah, where a microphone left running captured a child saying "help… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-20-2015-evps-barbara-mcbeath-and-brendan-cook
