Whether Art was gullible himself or knew he was promoting pseudoscience, the effect has been negative --fostering sensationalism and obscuring the difference between real science and junk science. I often listened to him to kill time on some late night drive. As his guest invariably spewed lame story about about alleged paranormal or unverified phenomena, I'd often cringe as Art responded with comments like "ooh, that's fascinating" instead of asking any really probing or challenging questions. paleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607034189959294481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-64811496171334935762013-05-01T06:55:04.813-04:002013-05-01T06:55:04.813-04:00I strongly disagree, G.D.

You were probably just scared of every little creek and squeak in your house after a late-night tune-in to Art Bell on Coast to Coast back in the day. It's okay if you screamed out loud once or twice. That was the BEAUTY of his broadcasts! It scared the Pea-Waller-Bee-Jesus out of you! :)larrywokeuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083085780765497721noreply@blogger.com
