Art warmly welcomes his audience to the show, which boasts a broad reach from Los Angeles to the Hawaiian Islands, the Caribbean, South America, and even the North Pole, alongside a global internet presence. Art shares his recent trip to Mackinaw Island for a reunion, mentioning plans to upload a video of the event on his website for those with streaming capabilities. He dives into his experience as a ham radio operator, detailing the fun and effectiveness of using handheld radios at high altitudes during his flight. Art then shifts to a more serious note, discussing the recent tragedy of Egypt Flight 990. He expresses skepticism about the plane’s rapid descent from 33,000 feet, hypothesizing that the thrust reverser might have played a role in the crash. This theory is supported by a Chicago Tribune article and a CNN report about a crew member’s complaint regarding the thrust reversers on the aircraft. Art concludes with a reflection on the similarities between this crash and previous ones, emphasizing the importance of retrieving the black boxes to understand the true cause of the tragedy.
Art further discusses the Egypt Flight 990 tragedy, focusing on the malfunction of the thrust reverser, which could have caused the plane’s rapid descent. He suggests that this malfunction is one of the few plausible explanations for the aircraft’s sudden crash. Shifting from this grim topic, Art shares a personal anecdote about experiencing unexpected back spasms despite having a relaxing day, which included watching a football game and a movie.
Art then informs his audience about the upcoming Leonid meteor storm on November 17th, anticipated to be the largest display since 1966. He explains the scientific background of the storm, noting its origin from the debris tail of the Comet Tempel-Tuttle. The anticipation is palpable as he mentions the event will be monitored and potentially broadcasted.
Next, Art introduces his guests for the hour, Terry and Linda Jamison, known as the “Psychic Twins.” These twins are not only remarkable for their shared birth but also for their psychic abilities. Art notes that their presence is timely, considering the approaching millennium and the show’s tradition of discussing prophecies and predictions around the New Year.
As the segment nears its end, Art reflects on the significance of the upcoming year 2000, pointing out the rarity and significance of witnessing the turn of a millennium. He draws an analogy between a car reaching 100,000 miles and humanity reaching the thousand-year mark, acknowledging the mixed emotions that accompany such milestones.
Art shares a humorous story about a mail warning addressed to “Occupant,” pointing out the absurdity of such a severe warning on a piece of mail not even personalized to a specific individual. He also briefly touches upon a recent violent incident in Hawaii, expressing his inability to comprehend such mindless acts of violence, which he attributes to “the quickening.”
Art discusses a recent incident where a sports game preemption led to a delayed broadcast of his show. He recounts a personal experience of being preempted by a 22-inning Dodgers game that resulted in a late-night broadcast.
Moving on, Art mentions a potential guest for the next night, William Thomas, an investigator into the so-called “chemtrails.” He notes that Thomas has startling information to share, but there’s a hiccup in communication as Thomas forgot to include his phone number in an email.
The conversation shifts to a caller from Hawaii discussing the recent Honolulu Xerox shooting. The caller was in a nearby building during the incident and provides firsthand information about the shooter, who snapped after learning of his impending job termination. Art and the caller discuss the incomprehensibility of such violence and the shock it caused in the relatively peaceful state of Hawaii. They also touch upon the broader issue of increasing frequency of such violent incidents in modern society, with Art noting that these types of events were almost unheard of during his youth.
Art reflects on the impact of media coverage on public perception of these tragic events, suggesting that while media reporting has increased, the frequency of such incidents has also genuinely risen over time.
Art Bell delves into the topic of modern violence, particularly the kind involving adults and, more recently, children. He observes that while some crime rates have declined, mindless violence has become a new and distinctive feature of modern life, which he refers to as part of “the quickening.” Art emphasizes that typical reasons like job loss do not adequately explain why someone would commit such violent acts against coworkers, indicating a deeper societal change.
The show then transitions to calls from listeners. One caller from Colorado describes seeing what appeared to be a comet or an asteroid in the sky, leading to a discussion about the possibility of it being space debris. Another caller, Ron, from the north end of a valley, introduces a conspiracy theory related to Majestic 12 (MJ-12). He suggests that the recent shootings might be part of a mind control scheme mentioned in the MJ-12 documents, which predicted that such events would be orchestrated to disarm the public.
Ron also shares a personal experience of seeing a brilliant flash of light that lit up his room and the valley, an occurrence that Art recalls experiencing himself. This mysterious flash of light, seen by both Ron and his neighbors, remains unexplained, prompting Art to call for input from other listeners who might have been outside and witnessed it. Art speculates it could have been something re-entering the atmosphere.
Art then talks to another caller who mentions sending him a package containing photographs of concerts, including Gordon Lightfoot and Linda Ronstadt. The caller and Art discuss the potential enjoyment Art might find in these photographs, especially those of Ronstadt.
One caller asks about a strange noise on the radio, which Art suggests might be some form of digital signal. Another caller, Nate from Yuma, Arizona, brings up Mike “Mad Man” Marcum, a man known for his experimental physics. Art shares that he was ready to document Marcum’s major experiment, but Markham disappeared, leading to speculation about his whereabouts, including the possibility of time travel.
Art then takes a call from Andy in Florida, who asks about Mackinac Island’s reputation as a haunted location. Art confirms hearing such reports but assures that he experienced no paranormal activities during his visit. He also discusses the seasonal weather in Michigan and mentions his intention to upload footage of his trip to Mackinaw on his website.
The conversation shifts to the upcoming guests, the Jamieson twins, known as the “Millennium Twins” due to their psychic abilities and diverse talents in various fields like painting, comedy, singing, and modeling. Art notes that they have been featured in documentaries and books, including “The 100 Top Psychics in America,” and have appeared on various TV shows.
Art reflects on the nearing of the year 2000 and the significance of turning the clock toward a new millennium. He expresses excitement about the upcoming interview with the Jamieson twins and their insights as the world approaches the millennium mark.
In this segment of “Coast to Coast AM,” Art Bell interviews the Jamieson twins, known as the psychic twins. They discuss their experiences and the unique aspects of being twins, particularly identical twins living in the same house. The twins describe the challenges of establishing individual identities and the deep, almost marital-like bond they share.
Art shares his personal experience of dating one of a pair of identical twins, highlighting the complexities and confusions in such a relationship, especially when the twins are very close and don’t define their differences clearly.
The conversation then shifts to the psychic abilities of the Jamieson twins. They explain that they first realized their psychic potential about 15 years ago, starting with experiments in psychic work and automatic or channeled writing. They describe their ability to write detailed information in an archaic language, received from a higher source of intelligence or the spirit world. This ability allowed them to predict events accurately for friends and loved ones, which they initially approached with skepticism.
The twins elaborate on their method of accessing information from the Akashic records, a concept they describe as a band surrounding the planet and galaxy, containing records of all actions and thoughts. This band, part of the spiritual being of creation, is accessible to them through their psychic abilities and automatic writing.
Art expresses his skepticism about channeling but is intrigued by their explanation of the source of their psychic information. The twins emphasize that their psychic connection extends beyond the typical bond experienced by most twins, allowing them to tap into information for anyone, not just each other.
The twins clarify their use of automatic writing as a means to access the Akashic records, emphasizing that it’s not the same as channeling a specific entity from the past but rather accessing a collective of thought forms and actions.
Art expresses his skepticism about channeling, prompting the twins to explain that the Akashic records are not a collective consciousness of beings, but rather a repository of actions and deeds. They discuss their process of conducting readings, working with guides, and elevating in consciousness to attract higher-level beings.
The twins also share their experiences in predicting natural disasters and major events, such as the Northridge earthquake and the EgyptAir crash, highlighting the challenges they face in documenting and communicating these predictions to authorities. They mention their involvement in solving murder cases through their psychic abilities, explaining that they don’t relive the events but receive information through automatic writing.
The twins discuss the unique bond they share, revealing that they are connected by seven cords of energy and often receive the same information even when in separate rooms. This bond is amplified when they work side by side.
When asked about fear, the twins admit that murder cases can be unsettling, but they are generally not scared by their experiences. They find medium work fascinating and comforting, especially in helping people understand that the spirit survives death.
Art inquires about any scientific studies or tests conducted on the twins, to which they respond that they have not been approached for such studies since becoming professional psychics. They also touch on their past as painting students in Italy, where they encountered studies on twins but were not psychologically tested themselves.
The twins explain that they communicate with spirits who have passed into the third astral plane, which exists around Earth in a different vibration. They mention that the spirits are not always happy, and their emotional state at the time of death often carries over into the spirit world. The twins can feel these emotions intensely, which can be both draining and challenging.
The twins also address skepticism, particularly from fundamentalist Christians who might view them as false prophets. They acknowledge that no prophet is 100% accurate and mention that they have been told by other psychics that they were Nostradamus in a past life. They believe that many of Nostradamus’ prophecies are still relevant, including his prediction for the end of the world in 3037.
Art then shifts the discussion to the twins’ predictions for the future. The twins foresee a mix of positive and negative events, including many natural disasters in the coming years. However, they also predict significant medical breakthroughs, such as an AIDS cure in 2002 and a cancer cure, particularly for breast cancer, by 2007. They expect a breast cancer drug breakthrough in 2003 and advances in cloning body parts, though they express uncertainty about the ethical implications of cloning individuals.
The twins predict that by 2030, there will be two-way voice communication with UFOs and alien life, enabled by technology allowing communication with the astral realm. They discuss the nature of UFOs, suggesting they are often from higher dimensions and capable of dimensional and time travel.
The twins also touch on the societal and judicial implications of being able to communicate with spirits. They envision a future where murder victims could testify against their killers from the astral plane, potentially revolutionizing the judicial process. However, they acknowledge the complexities this would introduce into personal relationships, like a widow communicating with her deceased spouse.
Art raises the topic of ghosts, and the twins explain that hauntings can be a mix of residual memories and actual spirits unwilling or afraid to move on. They also speculate on their own connection, stating that if one of them were to pass away, they believe they would still be able to communicate psychically.
When it comes to foreseeing negative events, such as someone’s death, the twins approach the matter cautiously. They sometimes choose not to reveal such information, as many people are not prepared to handle it. The twins discuss their ability to predict the timing of a person’s death with considerable accuracy and mention their experiences with AIDS patients. They foresee significant advancements in medical technology, predicting that people will live up to 150 years within the next 75 years with good quality of life.
The twins also speak about various cures for diseases like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and spinal cord injuries, expecting significant progress in the next decade. They mention Christopher Reeve (known for his role as Superman), expressing hope for advancements in spinal cord injury treatments but are uncertain about Reeve’s complete recovery.
Regarding the economy, they predict a stock market crash around 2000 to 2005. They emphasize that prophecy is not fixed and can change with free will and collective action. As practicing Buddhists for 15 years, they believe in the power of changing collective karma and destiny.
Art asks if the twins’ psychic abilities are enhanced by their twinship, to which they respond that being twins does play a significant role. They can verify each other’s psychic information instantly, providing a unique form of validation. However, they also consider the possibility that their insights could be telepathically influenced by each other.
The twins conducted an experiment in which one twin telepathically sent instructions to the other, who successfully followed them, demonstrating their strong psychic connection. They believe this connection allows them to receive information from the same sources, as evidenced by their consistent predictions.
Regarding predictions, the twins discuss the Y2K phenomenon and foresee minimal disruptions compared to the widespread fear. They also predict a race riot in Tennessee in 2001, expressing surprise at this specific revelation.
When asked about meditation practices, they suggest simple breathing exercises and recommend picking up an introductory book on meditation. In response to a caller’s question about the next U.S. President, they predict that George W. Bush will win the election.
A caller from Montreal inquires about Quebec’s separation from Canada, to which the twins predict that it will happen within a year. The caller expresses mixed feelings about this potential outcome, hoping for a more responsible government.
One caller from Honolulu inquires about potential conflicts between the two Koreas, to which the twins advise avoiding travel to the region in February and March of the following year, though they don’t specify any major conflicts.
A caller named Freddie from Texas asks about honing psychic abilities and the third secret of Fatima. The twins recommend “The Psychic Pathway” by Sonia Choquette as a good book for beginners in psychic development. Regarding the third secret of Fatima, they believe it is true and in the possession of the Pope, but they don’t see it coming to fruition.
They also address a question about the cause of a plane crash, suggesting a terrorist-related bomb in a suitcase as the cause. They do not provide personal readings such as lucky numbers, emphasizing their belief that psychic gifts should be used for spiritual and prophetic purposes, not for gambling.
Regarding Wicca and witchcraft, the twins express no opposition to white magic, as long as it doesn’t involve harm or black magic. They maintain that their practice of Buddhism does not interfere with other beliefs or practices.
A caller from Kansas City asks about the downing of TWA Flight 800 and the possibility of alien contact in the future. The twins feel that a bomb was involved in the flight 800 crash, based on their communication with a client who was on the flight and later contacted them as a spirit. They do not elaborate further on alien contact.
Another caller questions the truth about the Roswell incident and potential extraterrestrial contact. The twins predict that more information and communication regarding extraterrestrial beings will become apparent around 2012, coinciding with greater clarity on the Roswell issue.
A caller from Saint Louis inquires about the possibility of an earthquake in the region. The twins do not foresee any major earthquake occurring there, despite local news speculation.
A New York caller asks about the West Nile virus. The twins predict that the virus will be under control within six to seven months and do not see it escalating into a larger problem or being related to germ warfare.
A caller from Omaha asks if the twins foresee the return of the supposed 10th planet and its implications. The twins are not familiar with the concept of the 10th planet, which the caller explains as part of Zecharia Sitchin’s theory about an alien race influencing human evolution.
In this segment of “Coast to Coast AM,” the Jamieson twins respond to various callers’ questions about potential future events and spiritual practices.
- A caller from Cincinnati asks for advice on how young spirits can cope with the vibrations of the world. The twins suggest meditation and an exercise called “root walking” to stay grounded.
