Fantastic Forum the Original Art Bell's Midnight in the Desert and Coast to Coast AM Forum

Thank you all for your best wishes on my birthday! They mean so much to me, so very much! If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, then the tree has wasted its time and energy. You people hear me, whether I stand or fall... Because of you and people like you, my time and energy are not was...

My maternal grandfather quite possibly was the descendent of Polish Jews who fled to Prussia in 1657 to embrace the religious freedom proclaimed by "the Great Elector," Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm I. My paternal grandfather was definitely the descendent both of the royal bodyguard that fell w...

Sometimes I have the funny feeling that UFOs are tourist package trips (like our Alaskan cruises) designed to give folks from other points in space-time an up-front-and-personal view of the destruction of the human race in the 21st century. After all, why would you bother to go to the theater to see...

Hmmm... The pot is starting to boil. Good. That means that we are starting to get somewhere in the discussion. It appears that more than one of the recent posters has taken me to task --- at least implicitly --- for my disenchantment with Art Bell, a disenchantment that they root in my over-estimati...

Last night I stayed up to listen to the first two hours of COAST-TO-COAST because Art Bell was going to be hosting it, and boy, am I glad that I did! I do not think that I have ever seen Art Bell in finer form than he was last night as he was roasting Ed Dames slowly over the fire. As most of you kn...

Good heavens, Linnea, I did not realize that the situation had already developed to the point that you describe! Linnea, you must do what you think best to protect yourself (first) and to protect the Fantastic Forum (second). The users are just going to have to cut you a hell of a lot of slack, and ...

Yes, I myself caught the show, quite by accident while I was channel surfing. I missed what I think was the first fifteen minutes of the show (what arrested my remote control clicking was a momentary reference to the Phoenix Lights case of 1997, which I clearly understood to be such). And two though...

I am really divided about this situation. On the one hand, I am a strong supporter of THE FANTASTIC FORUM, which welcomed me cordially when I escaped the wreck of the HMS COAST-TO-COAST three years ago with just the clothes on my back, and I think that Demian and Linnea have been very fair to me as ...

What a ridiculous prediction! Hasn't the ZetaTalk lady been listening to Coast-to-Coast for the past six months? Art Bell died of shame on the day that he cut the deal with Clear Channel and grabbed the bag of gold on his way out the door. Talk about being behind the times.... Sheeesh!

Why the sad face, Supernova? In the first place, Art Bell specifically stated that he is NOT going to disappear completely, and George Noory has specifically stated that Art Bell WILL be popping up from time to time. So, from time to time, you will be able to get your Art Bell fix. And that is good,...

Mudwoman, if you asking where the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are, I can tell you quite simply. Either the weapons never existed in the first place or they were removed to friendly neighboring states long before the war started or they were indeed destroyed by Saddam Hussein in order to keep...

I was so tired last night that I dropped off to sleep within an hour of hearing Art on the radio, so I missed almost all of Open Lines. Which is a shame, because Open Lines (and especially Ghost-to-Ghost) were the best part of Coast-to-Coast for me! Let us assume --- as we MUST assume --- that most ...

Yeah, Devastated, I think that you are right: I am quite a bit of a snob --- although I would prefer the term "elitist" --- about the paranormal. Ghost stories and such are "cool" when you are a kid, but if you continue in the field, then you come to realize that there is far mor...

I will be listening very carefully tonight and tomorrow night to Art Bell. I hope that we will have a pair of great shows, but I suspect that he will not be his "old self." The old Art was a truly dangerous man, who could pretend for fifteen or twenty minutes that he was cowed by the perso...

Maryal's question is an excellent one: what is the use of knowledge about human origins? This question needs to be answered in order to justify both the time and the energy spent in answering it. In one sense, truth does not need utility: we try to learn the truth about human origins for exactly the...
