Being a New Yorker, I’ve become quite used to these apparitions.

@Zathras At least the B.A. apparently has been broken of the urge to do a Ron Howard (always wear a baseball cap to cover one’s baldness).

Iono. He doesn’t translate well to radio – or perhaps it was that guy with the voice who they were so happy to have on. Just didn’t do it for me, I fear.

The Hayden was nice enough, though.

I just finished listening this weekend to your show with Dr. Neil on good and bad astronomy and time travel in the movies. My wife gave me a huge double-take when I told her I was listening to a show with Neil Tyson and Dr. Phil…….

“No, not THAT Dr. Phil….the OTHER bald-headed Dr. Phil….The Bad Astronomer”

But, how are you supposed to SEE the ghosts without the magic Ghost Goggles? Huh? And you call yourselves scientists.

The best Ghost movies I’ve seen are : Ghostbusters,Ghost Story,The Fog(orignal),and The Shining I do’nt think the dead are hanging around as a Catholic I beleve the dead go to the Afterlife for an eternal reward or pushiment . I know that many may dissagree but thats what I beleve. Now there is another explation for ghosts that says they are not souls of the dead . But that events have an efect on the enviroment , and the ghost is like a recording of some past event or person . I don’t buy this ether things change with time ,A house that was down the block 20 years ago might have been torn down so the envirment would change where the house was there could be a vacant lot, another house, or a building if something did leave an impression , it would disaper with the house that was torn down.

I used to have a janitorial business many years ago. One Halloween night, I went to do a job at a Showroom for a Funeral company. The showroom is where they displayed caskets and there were no bodies there. On my way, I was listening to “Ghost to Ghost”, the halloween ‘Coaast to Coast’ show with Art Bell. (Art Bell was still hosting back then.) I was cleaning and polishing the caskets, and every creak and noise I heard in the building scared the crap out of me!

“As always, talking with Neil is a lot of fun”

huh?

Talking with Nero (fiddler on a burning roof) is fun or Gengis Khan (the man who couldn´t stop gallopping) is fun or Queen Victoria (who gallopped a lot too with her horse keeper) is even fun too or Robert Oppenheimer (who thought he became…) who is funniest ever.

But Tyson? He bloody well destroyed a whole planet!!!1!! Traumatising almost all kids on the planet for ever!!! Simply because HE thought it was to small.
Hell, normal people can only come so far as some petty genocide. But he did a planetocide!!
But no trial for him in The Hague.

And you enjoy talking with him???

People as always find ways to amaze me…

About the only way I can see those “knocking sounds” that ghost hunters hear being really from ghosts would be if the ghosts are playing a practical joke on the ghost hunters.

“Hey, watch me get this ghost hunter running in circles.”
*knocks on walls prompting the ghost hunter to run after them from room to room*
“Hilarious, right? Boy, those living are so much fun to mess with!”
