Skeptibunkie Joe Nickell on Coast to Coast!

Skeptic debunker Joe Nickell  will be the guest on C2C Wednesday night. So many questions dear readers: why why why is Noory having a skeptic on at all as the main guest? Nickell, who is packaged by the skeptibunkie infrastructure as a "paranormal investigator" is no friend of those who explore the paranormal realms. Oh he's mild mannered enough; tries his best to come off as pleasant and has, usually, less of a condescending smirk than Michael Shermer. And he's far less of an arrogant ass-hat than James Oberg. Still, dahlings, he's a "skeptic." (Nickell is infamous for his Owl Theory of Everything: Mothman, Flatwoods, and the Kentucky, Hopkinsville entities were merely owl sightings, theorizes Nickell.) I suppose we could be surprised -- after all, on a Ghost Adventures episode Shermer actually seemed satisfied with acknowledging he simply couldn't explain how or why something very ghostly indeed happened during an investigation. He didn't try to make ridiculous explanations or deny it happened. But I doubt Wednesday's episode of C2C will bring us surprises.  Will I listen Wednesday night? Probably, in spite of myself.
