So would it be rude to call Art on open lines, if he dumps this character, and ask him to comment on BQC dropping MITD?

[ziznak]

I'm hanging in for the long haul... lets see what else this guy has but... blackberry recorder?  seems almost like the device was chosen for poor audio recording/anomalies. 

all i hear are "demon birds"

[gabrielle]

Eh.. some of these evps. I'm not buying it.

i love Art...but this guest.....hmmmm

goog night sleep tight to all....

[RoseGirl]

Hi mom

lol

*bakes cookies*

[AppealPlay]

I think Art may have been bamboozled with this fella.  I feel like he's trying to promote his "SPOOKY GHOST TOURS SO SPOOKY" business and maybe sell a few books.  Nothing wrong with making money but this dude seems like a huckster.

[TigerLily]

All I hear on his recordings are birds.

They're frogs. What a letdown. This guy is a total fake.  I love the gis. This guy, No way

I don't know.  Honestly, I want the question asked but I'm not sure if it would upset Art.  Maybe send a Wormhole message and ask him about it?

[Juan Cena]

Maybe she became a ghost because she was a mean baby.

Mean babies grow up to be angry ghosts.

[QuantumMystics]

[RoseGirl]

Just got here. Haven't hear one yet. Are they that bad?

[Tapkaara]

That right there looks like a good wormhole message.

Art's always very clear that the GIS are a not-for-profit group. This is a very key point. This guy is for profit in his endeavors and I'm sure the more "EVPs" he fabricates....oooops....records.....the more money his efforts make.

[Bradsmith313]

That right there looks like a good wormhole message.

Burns isn't that bad. The Ghostbuster Gals . . . there's a special place in hell for them . . .

[trostol]

ooooo cookies

[Dr_Blue]

Bio from the guest tonight

http://Paranormal investigator Patrick Burns is best known for his starring role on TruTV’s (formerly CourtTV’s) Haunting Evidence. For three seasons, Burns was able to apply his vast knowledge of electronics and computer systems toward the goal of documenting paranormal activity. Most recently, he has been seen as a recurring guest judge on Zak Bagans’ Paranormal Challenge on the Travel Channel.

Burns is one of the most respected and in-demand paranormal researchers today; conducting investigations, lecturing on many topics, and headlining on college campuses from coast to coast.

His numerous technical skills include a mastery of advanced audio filtering techniques for enhancing faint EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings.

Throughout his adult life, he has witnessed and documented many events he believes may be of a “supernatural” origin.  His paranormal curiosity was piqued as a young boy when the new residents of his deceased grandmother’s home reported seeing her ghostly apparition in the kitchen.

Burns has always considered himself to be a “skeptical believer” and cautiously examines all claims of paranormal events. He has gone head-to-head in panel discussions with members of the James Randi Educational Foundation â€" one of the largest skeptical societies in the world. For this, Burns was singled out and lauded for being the only member of the paranormal community in attendance who willingly engaged and answered the tough questions posed by the skeptics.

No stranger to the mass media, Patrick has been featured countless times on television, radio, and in print media.  On television, he has appeared on CNN, Headline News, TBS, Hollywood Insider, Entertainment Tonight, Fox and Friends, Catherine Cryer Live, to name a few.

When not in front of a camera, Patrick can be seen working behind one. He is a professional photographer, shooting exclusively in infrared light.

In 2009, Patrick added published author to his resume in co-authoring THE OTHER SIDE:  A TEEN’S GUIDE TO GHOST HUNTING AND THE PARANORMAL, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

He is the founder and director of “GhoStock,” a paranormal enthusiasts conference he has hosted since 2005 in Savannah, Georgia, which The American Institute of Parapsychology awarded the title of “America’s Most Haunted City” to in 2002.

In the summer of 2014, Burns relocated to Savannah, which he refers to as his Paranormal Mecca. He currently leads nightly walking tours with “Savanah Ghost’s â€" Paranormal Investigation Tours.”

When not chasing specters through haunted house and cemeteries, the proud father of two boys.  He is a passionate advocate of science, human space travel, enjoys playing the guitar and SCUBA diving.

On the plus side, the guest looks a little like Ricky Steamboat.

[Oleus]

You guys are giving the birds in savannah too much credit. They don't talk much. 

It's his own voice. 

This guy is a hack. Say what you will about those GIS people but they seem earnest.  And I was thrilled to hear a savannah-tinged show....

Art seems to be playing along though

[TigerLily]

At least the bumpers are good.  Year of the Cat

[Juan Cena]

It's always the Year of the Cat with Art.

[NoMoreNoory]

Not a novel, it's a true story by a reporter who was there from NYC to cover the murder trial.

You're right. Late night and the beer is good, would be my excuse. But it is certainly embroidered non-fiction, I would suggest.

[trostol]

that sounds like a bird

[AL5J]

Greetings vaguely loveable earthlings

Every time he takes a breath I hear those "demon birds" too.

[Northcoaster]

I want nothing more than an EVP to go "BRAAPS!"

[sydtron]

Hey all!  Just got home from work. Opened the door to let the cat in. And Al Stewart is playing. Nice!!

[SciFiAuthor]

Well yeah, what do you think those white crows are??

Crackers. Black crows matter.

[Robert]

Neither Mr. Bell nor Mr. Burns even tried to interpret that last quackeda-quack!

[JamesMcDonald]

It's always the Year of the Cat with Art.

Yes.  That is true.

[AppealPlay]

[Uncle Duke]

Kinda have the same feeling. 

REDACTED, CARE TO COMMENT HERE RATHER THAN HAVE ART ASKED THE QUESTION ON AIR?
