> This is a call from a retired fireman/emergency worker who sees
dead people:

>
> An Art Bell Caller---Feb. 6th, 2005
>
> Art: You're on the air Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. Hi.
>
> Caller: Hi, Art!
>
> Art: Hello.
>
> Caller: This is Gene from Gloride (?), Arizona.
>
> Art: Yes, Gene!
>
> Caller: Pleasure to talk to you again.
>
> Art: And to you. What's up?
>
> Caller: Well, I sent ya' an e-mail and had some stories I
wanted to
share with ya' and I don't tell very many people these
stories
because I just freak people out when I tell `em.
>
> Art: Try me.
>
> Caller: Well, this all started...I..I'm a fireman, I'm
retired. I'm
also of sound mind, believe me.
>
> Art: Another fireman! Alright.
>
> Caller: Another fireman, and back in my rookie career, um, I'd
worked an accident where we had to transport a guy about 40 miles to
the closest hospital. And he'd been in a single care rollover,
and he
had coded on us, so I did CPR on him for 40 minutes in the back of
the ambulance.
>
> Art: Um.
>
> Caller: Got him into the hospital, and I was exhausted. I mean it
just...
>
> Art: Yeah, I was about to say, 40 minutes of CPR is exhausting!
>
> Caller: Yeah, it is, it's a rough deal. So the hospital
crew's
workin' him and I'm leaned up against the wall in the ER and
uh, I
kind of saw somebody out of the corner of my eye looked and
there's a
guy standing next to me and he goes, "I wish they'd just leave me
alone!"
>
> Art: What?
>
> Caller: And I said, "excuse me?" And he said, "I just wish they
would just let me go."
>
> Art: Oh, my God.
>
> Caller: And the doctor that was working, he looked at me and
I...you can just tell he saw the same thing. And that's when he
called the code. He says, that's it, we can't do any more.
And I was
freaked out. Uh, there was a physician assistant there.
>
> Art: Did the two of you discuss this? How could you not?
>
> Caller: Yes, we did. And, I am just spooked, I'm like ready
just to
hit the ceiling. I didn't know what to think. Because the guy was
wearing the same clothes.
>
> Art: Was, was.. Let me ask this. The man that you saw, was that the
man you worked on?
>
> Caller: Yawh! Yah, that was him.
>
> Art: Did he look in any way less than fully visibly human; was
there anything ghostly about him?
>
> Caller: No, not at all, he looked just like anybody else, and the
clue was, he was a big guy, he was over 6 feet, very obese,...uh, the
clothes, he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and white pants and sandals.
And, uh, I mean I put two and two together and you know, I went, the
doc and I went up to the cafeteria, this was, you know, two
o'clock
in the morning, and he told me he sees people all the time, too.
>
> Art: My God, If that happened to me, I'd be the one needing CPR!
>
> Caller: Absolutely! And, I was so freaked out, um, I left there,
and I didn't even bother cleaning myself up, I'm still
covered with
this guys, you know, blood. And I wasn't living at home, I had an
apartment, I went to my mom and dad's house `cause I was so
freaked
out, and three o'clock in the morning, they answered the door,
I'm
covered with blood, they think I'm in an accident. And I, we
stayed..I was up all night, I couldn't sleep for days. And I went
back and talked to the same doctor again. He said he started
seen'
people uh, in his residency.
>
> Art: Oh, really!
>
> Caller: Yes, and uh,
>
> Art: I wonder how many health care professionals have had this
experience.
>
> Caller: There are quite a few. And it's kind of a taboo thing,
believe me, because this happened over and over and over to me, for
over twenty-three years and it got to be where I could tell where
somebody was gonna make it and they weren't, because, they
didn't go
with us.
>
> Art: `Cause they didn't go with you?
>
> Caller: Yeah, we'd go into a house, start CPR work on somebody,
I'd
see `em sitting over there in a chair or hovering around us, you
know, standing around and never see `em again, so I'm sure
they're
not gonna go with us, they were separated and they're not back in
their body.
>
> Art: Were there ever any people that you saw that went back and
then ended..
>
> Caller: Yes, yes. Yes, and those are the ones I knew that were
gonna make it. You know, `cause they would wind up in the
ambulance
with us, I'd see `em at the emergency room...
>
> Art: Oh my God, so you see dead people!
>
> Caller: I've seen dead people. And it didn't happen all the
time,
but it happened so much, Art, that it was the norm for me. In fact, I
was on an accident that involved some teenagers.
>
> Art: Uh, listen. We're coming up on a break here, so can you
hold
on?
>
> Caller: Sure!
>
> Art: Alright. Yeah, yeah he sees dead people, alright, and talks to
them. Ah now, that one, that's for the books, alright. Any other
health care professionals out there? Any of you get to see the people
you've been working on? From the high desert, in the nighttime.
I'm
Art Bell and this of course is Coast to Coast AM. Nuthin' else
like
it in the world!
>
> <Break>
>
> Art: Good morning. We specialize in rides, and we're definitely
gettin' one this morning. If you've got a story that's up
and rivals
what you've been hearing tonight then you just got the numbers
and we
want to hear from you. It's Coast to Coast AM, weekend version,
and
we're only about halfway there. So keep it right where you've
got it!
>
> <Break>
>
> Art: (This man's---I think, my station was playing something
over
the first couple words) an emergency medical worker really does see
dead people. Welcome back, sir.
>
> Caller: Hi.
>
> Art: Um, I don't know. Your call hit me so hard, I'll
remember this
call forever and ever. All the rest of my life, I think.
>
> Caller: You know, that's the reaction I get from people when I
tell
them, and that's why I don't tell a lot of people `cause
it really
kind of freaks `em out. And out of all the people I worked with,
Art,
at the department, there was only two other people that saw these
things, too. That I know about. And, uh, at first it kind of freaks
you out and then after a while it's just, it's part of the
job, and..
>
> Art: Is it one of those things where you really do actually almost
get used to it?
>
> Caller: Yeah you do, um..a case in point, I was gonna to tell you
about this car accident involving some kids
>
> Art: Sure
>
> Caller: And, um, we had two that were obviously gone when we got
there, in the front seat. It was a small car, I think it was a
Volkswagen Jetta versus a Dodge van, head on. And there was a girl in
the back seat...she was conscious, broken bones, I'm in the back
seat
workin' with her. And there was a girl outside bangin' on the
window,
yellin' and screamin' and I'm lookin' at her, and
it's...her. And she
kept sayin' "My sister, my sister!" And I'm like, you know,
okay, you
know, I just figured maybe she was out of her body, needed to go back
in her body. She kept saying her sister, sister. Well, she went
unconscious and we transported her to the hospital, she became
conscious again. She kept, you know, yellin' for another
girl's name.
And later I found out this was her twin sister that had died..
>
> Art: Oh!
>
> Caller: two years before, in a car accident about three or four
blocks away from where that had happened. So she saw her sister. I
saw her sister. And her sister's panicking wantin' us to make
sure
that we're doing everything that we're doing.
>
> Art: No wonder you couldn't figure it out.
>
> Caller: Yeah, I was confused. And I just figured I was seeing the
normal, okay, they're out of their body, they're in their
body type,
you know, experience and come to find out it was her sister that
passed on two years prior.
>
> Art: Sir, from seeing all of this so many times, what do you
conclude about the nature of life and death?
>
> Caller: Oh, I, you know, I think all the people that mostly I dealt
with, I think they actually passed over. I don't know if
there's
people that are roamin' around. You know, listening to your show
has
really been an eye-opener for me and I just started listening on XM,
so I don't feel like I'm so isolated and I'm a freak
`er.
>
> Art: Well, you're not.
>
> Caller: You know, and a lot of people see these things. And, but
most the people that I dealt with, it was serious trauma, it
wasn't
people that had died from like emphysema, um...
>
> Art: Something you knew about for a long time.
>
> Caller: Yeah! It was, so I think they were prepared. I think it was
the sudden shock of trauma and uh, I think they're just like,
instantly kicked out of their body. Uh, to protect them, I don't
know, but I think they, they, know that, somehow they have figured it
out and that's the ones that want to go ahead and pass on. I
don't
know if they're still lingering around someplace, but
>
> Art: Did these people, uh once the dialogue with you was done, did
they, did the apparition just disappear?
>
> Caller: Gone, gone! (laughs) It's like, they're there one
second
and gone the next. And there were several times where I would see
them at a scene, I would see them in the ambulance, then I would see
them at the ER. And, not only that but I would also see other people
that would, I had figured out through the years, these were relatives
that were coming to take them home.
>
> Art: Really.
>
> Caller: They would meet us at the hospital. And these people
weren't like the hysterical, grieving, oh-my-God what happened,
you
know, they were the ones Oh, so-and-so's here, can you tell me
where
they're at, or how are they, are they gonna make it. They're
very
calm, um, very congenial, they're not the ones, most family
members
are just wigged out when they hit the hospital.
>
> Art: Well, going back to the first story you told, I mean, there
must have come a moment where you and that doctor sat down and talked
about the man who had just complained about being worked on for too
long.
>
> Caller: I sat down with that doctor and that PA on three different
occasions. `Cause I was just so wigged out over this whole thing,
and
I just couldn't sleep. I wasn't sure if I needed a
psychologist, and
they assured me that they saw him also, and this was a very common
occurrence for them. Not all health workers see `em, not
everybody
sees `em.
>
> Art: But that doctor did. And he called...
>
> Caller: He did and that's why he called the code.
>
> Art: Called the code.
>
>
>
> Caller: Because he knew this guy wanted to give up.
>
> Art: I really appreciate your call sir. Thank you.
>
> Caller: Well, thank you!
>
> Art: Take care. There's one for the books, for sure. And my
guess
is that because of that call we're gonna get other health care
workers calling. But maybe there is, maybe there really is something
to all of this. Maybe there really is something beyond the physical
life. Well the only and best evidence that you're liable to get
for
that is being told to you this morning. First time caller line,
you're on the air. Hello.

Good find!

Yeah...i would have like to see the Art Bell show do a follow up and maybe chase down the Doctor and also check out the credentials of the caller....this would have been good.A wasted opportunity for some serious research !!!!!!!!

wow, that gave me the chills, big time! thanks for sharing that!

H

Yes, thanks for posting this. I have heard other accounts of 'spirits' being seen in hostpitals and I had an encounter myself of seeing something talking to an old woman. Whatever it was it was looking for someone that wasn't there or that the woman had no knowledge of.

It appeard not as a person as they would normally look, it reminded me of the water when it takes on the face of one of the crew in the movie Abyss. IT was a human shape but it was transparent and in motion as if one were looking through water.

When I was in the intensive care waiting room while my mother was dying of cancer I kept feeling that she was in the room with me. Okay, pretty common, I guess. But I mentioned it to one of the nurses and she said that she couldn't count the number of odd things that happened in the hospital, especially late at night. She said she'd seen things and heard things and that the elevator operated by itself a lot. She was very matter of fact about it.

Great story.

I've heard of similar things from other health workers as well.

That was great!

I worked EMS for 9 years...there are definately times when strange things happen.

My ex-husband's dad died from cancer. His was too weak to move. On the day he died one of the nurses at the nurses station (his door was open so the nurses could see him) said that he sat up looked at her waved his hand and smiled. When she went in to see him; he had already died.

According to the doctor-he was dead at the time that she saw him waving from his bed.

It totally freaked her out.

I really appreciate the post of those transcrpits It was very interesting to read. And to me the whole thing sounds totally believeable.
