Great show. Creepy. Now off to Hoagland and Atlantis.

[WOTR]

I love Art... And put together with Paulides makes for a perfect evening.  G'night all.  It really is the 90's all over again.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

Chilling show. Creepy idea, new horror movie script inbound. SPOILER: Jazmunda is the killer!

[PrairieGhost]

Damn good show!

Braap time!

[Gassy Man]

Great show, Art.

Excellent topic and interesting discussion. 

The guest was, at times, low energy, but the discussion stayed on track.

Nice calls and good questions.

Overall, an entertaining three hours.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

But i guess i will wait till next time. Bwahahaha. Good night all.

There's another great idea for a show.  The dark side of Appalachia.

Here's the link to the post by 'gabber who attended the search and rescue conference where Paulides gave his pitch.

[Juan Cena]

JUST SAY IT WAS BIGFOOT OR ET

What if Bigfoot IS an ET? 

[jazmunda]

Georgia Jaz

My goal is to have one Jaz in every state.

Redneck anal probes are far scarier that alien anal probes.

That's the plot of every BellGab movie. I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

[ArJuna]

Am I the only one who has been unable to reach BellGab.com for the last half hour?

[ArJuna]

[AppealPlay]

That...is something.

[Art Bell]

The one question I felt he avoided that got to me was, well we know how many visit National Parks and how many disappear how does that compare to the North America average. Has anybody else asked these things?

Possibly George Knapp may have asked that on one of his earlier interviews.

Good question.  I'm also curious what his personal beliefs are about the national park missing persons.  I know he doesn't want to be ridiculed as the guy who thinks Bigfoot is snatching people in the parks but surely he has at least a working theory.

Great interview, Art.

It really was a great interview.

I'm not sure he can give a working theory. There is very little physical evidence. It could really be anything up to and including the a portal powered by the angels controlling the soul munching machine on the darkside of the moon which is funded by those damn gay, republican gypsies.

I also respect his reason for not postulating theories. If he wants to continue investigating and having the families of victims speak to him then he has to be careful.

These type of stories really creep me out. More of this type Art. I think I say that about everything. Great job tonight.

[Scully]

Art, you really held his feet to the fire and squeezed him till he came through with as much as he was going to tonight.  You are the master.  Even George Knapp's interviews with Palides haven't been as gripping as tonight's. (And I love Knapp, too.)

Some in another group had moaned that this fellow was to be on yet another time, but I knew before the show started that it would combine the creepy crawly mysteriousness of these stories with your engaging interviewing tactics, and I was not surprised at all.  Maybe my favorite show so far, even though Palides always manages to give me the impression he's hiding more than just a personal theory.

Do it again another time.  Please!   

[ZomZom]

I wonder if he knows any stories about those wood stairs that search and rescue guys find in the forests?  If anyone reads Reddit there's a frightening thread of stories about these.

This thread?  Reading it now.  Pretty creepy.

I'm through roughly the first hour of the archive.  Art and David have zero chemistry, and I found it odd that Art began by pointing out that he's done the paranormal talk show circuit.  An interesting subject but so far this interview is pretty dry.

Yeah.  He didn't seem too enthusiastic about giving a presentation to that search group the caller mentioned, but the caller could have been someone with another agenda, you never know. 

[CornyCrow]

Art

I thought he said we don't know how many disappear, that he only captures a subset of the total disappearances from the parks.

You must have listened to something other than did I.  I found it fascinating. 

Toward the end of the show there was a discussion speculating about the head of the parks being in the dark about what is happening but following orders from a higher source.  That brought to mind some talk about the government permitting a certain number of abductions in exchange for alien technology.  Just speculating, but if that were true, or if there is another reason that the gov. did not want to let out, maybe those green berets were really people there in a technical capacity for the gov?
