Whatever happened to guests who have actually done something (so they say)

[Juan]

Whatever happened to guests who have actually done something rather than write a book about somebody else doing something - I mean guests such as Mel who discover a hole, the guy who shot a bigfoot years ago but didn't report it because he was afraid of being charged with murder, the guys who had a bigfoot in their freezer, the guy who had trapped a spirit in a force field and was afraid to turn it loose, the time travelers, the various people who were abducted by aliens, the folks who have seen the space aliens being held by the U.S. government, the people who just knew the black helicopters were spying on them - those were the guests that made Coast.  Has everyone lost his or her imagination, or are these folks just not interested in appearing with sNoory?

It is hard to make money on bigfoot freezers, time travelers, alien abductees and black helicopters and that is why C2C is cultivating an audience of doomsday nuts who will buy desiccated food and wind-up radios through their web site so they can survive the apocalypse.

the examples you gave were all originally just callers not scheduled guests who made it on with Art Bell with UNSCREENED lines.
Art would then have them back on for a longer period as a guest if their story was interesting.

thats the big difference - compared to Noory's ultra-screened lines you don't get that kind of caliber caller anymore, just pre-scheduled guests that muist have written a book or the producers won't consider them valid to be a guest.

I think the mental institution took away their phone. :
