On The Air: The Silenced Caller, The Mojave Phone Booth and The Alien In The Freezer

Gather round for three campfire stories from the golden era of late-night radio, when Art Bell kept the lights on for millions of people who couldn't sleep and couldn't stop listening. A psychologist in the Cascade Mountains encounters something in the woods—and brings it home. A frantic caller reaches Art Bell with a warning, and the satellite goes dark before he can finish. A phone booth stands alone in the Mojave Desert for decades, and the calls that come through aren't always from strangers. These aren't ghost stories passed around a fire. They're documented, recorded, and still unresolved. Pull up a chair. The night is long, and some questions don't have clean answers.
