Art Bell's "Midnight In The Desert"

Art Bell

Art Bell was a guru of the paranormal, a pundit with an open mind about weird phenomena.  He ran a popular radio program from the small town of Pahrump, Nevada, called "Midnight In The Desert."  if you were up late or couldn't sleep, or were a truck driver on a lonely road at night, Art Bell's program was interesting and entertaining.

After my favorite dog Bogie died in 2017, I listened to recorded programs of Art Bell on the Internet, as a way of coping with my grief.  Art was not a kook or weirdo, just a well spoken man with an open mind and an interest in paranormal possibilities. His guests and his callers told stories of ghosts, time travel, life after death, alien abductions and other topics.  He did not necessarily believe all the stories, but he did not debate the visitors to his program.  He let them speak, and discussion ensued among callers to the program.

Art Bell died in April of 2018 of an accidental overdose of his prescription medications, and is buried in Pahrump next to his wife.  When he died, a great mind and personality was lost.

There are websites on Yahoo and the Internet that have many of Art's recorded programs.  Here is the link to one of them, and I do recommend it.  Art's favorite topic was the Near Death Experiece, or NDEs, and his discussion of the topic with NDE resercher Jeffrey Long, MD, is my favorite episode.  See link above.
