Again, shame on George Knapp. I usually listen to Coast with bemusement but some nights the fraud perpetrated by guests and host on a naive audience is too much and gets me worked up.
This doctor tonight, a Dr. Barry Tapp, is a total fraud and/or total loon. He wants to be taken as a serious scientist using science to investigate the paranormal. He talked at length about a long investigation of a home near the Manson Murders house on Ciello Drive in Los Angeles. Dr. Trapp claims that this home is so active with paranormal activity that 19 ..... NINE ... TEEN .... NINETEEN TIMES he personally has had to be taken to the ER at Cedars Sinai Hospital he became so sick. If I were the host my response to this would be 'Doctor, two things come to mind, you are either the world's biggest hypochondriac or you're a liar, which is it?' Knapp like Noory tacitly encourages these charlatans and loons to continue in their charade or mental illness. Tapp tries very hard to sound very reasonable and not at all a kook - the doctor doth protest too much. He explained that he doesn't think this particular home is haunted by evil spirits/ghosts, not sure why since he gave many case studies where poltergeists according to him were involved. According to the doctor the odd happenings in this house are caused by an unusually strong 'geo magnetic force', why some people such as himself are more affected in a house like this is they possess 'bio optimal amplifiers', he doesn't explain where these are in the body or what they are. What he also doesn't explain is how or why the glass of water that was thrown directly at his face causing him to duck happened. There are many objects in a house, shelves and tables filled with objects, how does the strong 'geo magnetic force' zero in on a glass of water and propel it at a human target and why?
He engages in what all Coast's pseudo-scientists do, he drops names of real scientists, vaguely refers to some past experience with important university or government laboratories, all to make himself look more legitimate. He also claims that he does 'hard medical science', he has invented and filed several patents for medical devices, one he described that can diagnose diseases within the body non-invasively just with some interaction with skin surface. For some reason he's having a hard time finding anybody to manufacture the device.
He also claimed that current research is finding that our memories are stored outside the brain, outside the body, they are stored in a 'remote zero point field'.
Obviously the man is a complete kook or fraud artist but not to Millennial Mike who has quickly turned into Thomas from La Jolla, he calls in to tell every guest that their work is fantastic and he's read their work, which I don't doubt. Thomas and Mike are either morons or about as gullible as human beings can be. Absorbing and retaining information doesn't make one smart, critical thinking is the essential part of intelligence.
