Joe Nickell, a paranormal investigator/skeptic, who also has a website http://www.joenickell.com/ , and has been called the modern day Sherlock Holmes or compared to Scully from the X-Files in his efforts to explore the paranormal and point out "hinky" things that were claimed to be paranormal. He also has many other careers which you can explore on his site such as poet, author and private detective. He's a multi-talented person who happened to get into exploring the paranormal.
I would like to point out his interview granted to Stephen, a member of The Skeptical Viewer website, where his podcast with Joe Nickell is posted. This interview is great and should be a good listen to the paranormal skeptic or just those interested in the paranormal. He is a person along the line of James Randi, who is famous for debunking psychics and mediums, although Mr. Nickell has expanded his paranormal debunking to cryptozoology, ghosts, crop circles and other phony people out to hoodwink the public.
Here is the link to his interview, please enjoy it and take time to check out the Skeptical Viewer website, which primarily concentrates on recent television "documentaries" on the paranormal and pointing out possible alternative explanations to the events seen on these shows. Please be aware that almost all of the people who contribute to the Skeptical Viewer website do believe in the paranormal and have had paranormal experiences, but don't want people to be fooled by these shows which use pseudo science to attempt to find ghosts with emf detectors, etc.

ReplyDeleteNo problem, Stephen! I thought you did a great job conducting the interview and felt any little boost to SkepticalViewer.Com and it's great reviews and podcasts was worth the effort. Again, nice interview!
