Friday night's Open Lines featured a special topic line for people who have seen the Devil. One caller related the time he and five friends encountered the Prince of Darkness in Dallas. According to his story, the Devil appeared as a tall, slender, elderly man with white hair, and dressed entirely in black. The caller claimed the dark being walked with "no gait" and vanished after passing by the group.

Mike from Massachusetts recounted a dream he had when he was 9 years old. In the dream, the caller described seeing a casket, a floating witch's hat, and a dark figure whose back was turned to him. He said the dark figure revealed two names to him before turning around and announcing, "I'm the Devil and I'm going to get you." Mike indicated he has since purchased the houses that belonged to the two people spoken about by the Devil in the dream.

Kristine from California told George she believes at least a dozen of the Devil's agents are stalking her. The caller said she and her seeing-eye dog have moved several times to get away from them. On a lighter spiritual note, a caller named Terry believes he met with a group of angels after a car accident. He said the angels told him he survived the wreck because there was something important he had yet to accomplish. Currently, Terry is designing a flying car.
