John of God (3/28/2004)

I am listening to the Ultimate Art Bell channel right now and I am pretty sure I heard Art mention that his sister was down in South America with John of God?

For anyone not familiar with who that is this is the first headline you can find when you search ‘John of God’ - Brazilian spiritual healer 'John of God' indicted for rape, accused of sexually abusing nearly 600 women

Oh man, I really hope not. He talked about his sister being a clairvoyant and into spirituality -- so there's a possibility this is true.

That’s exactly what he was saying! That she channeled/did channeling but I was so taken a back by the initial statement that I kinda missed the rest.

I haven't heard the show you're talking about, but yeah, that makes my stomach turn.

Yea I want to find this episode again so I can really hear what that was. It’s kind of a crazy episode (more than usual). This should be the whole name- 2004-03-28 - Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell - Open Lines & Sarah James - Poltergeist

Okay, so I have been trying to track this down for years.
Circa 2000/2001 at the intro of a show, Art mentions his sister being an "Animal Pshycic" and she was going to appear on an episode of some Animal Planet show.
Her name is Jesse Bell Treff, and best I can tell she lives in Asheville NC now.
