In Memory of Paranormal Radio Show host Art Bell

[image error]

Merry meet all,

I am in the midst of a setback in my life. I have broken my foot and now have to rest. Mercifully, I can sit and type, which is what I’m doing now. It is torture to sit still but I must if I hope to heal. I can’t be in my garden. The minute I can be, I will be there. While I am healing, I still sent a story to an editor. I can still sit and type. It is a royal pain but not for an eternity.

The next turn in the Wheel of the Year is Lammas, or Lughnasadh, depending on which way you look at it. I look forward to this. It always makes me think of the fall harvest, my fave time of year, yet it is still summer. It feels like time to prepare for fall before it is fall. Yay!! We who truly love fall wait a long time for our fave time of year to roll around.

Just a word of caution: be careful what you wear. Don’t get heatstroke. Don’t lock your pets up in cars. Make sure that you and your loved furry ones/ furmiliars stay hydrated. July is a hot month, the hottest of the year. Take care of your health.

Here is the article posted about him, copied courteousy of the website listed above.

‘(Reuters) – U.S. radio host Art Bell, known for his discussions of conspiracy theories and paranormal phenomena during his popular syndicated show “Coast to Coast AM”, has died at his home in Nevada aged 72, the local sheriff’s office said.

The show developed a cult following after he created it in 1993 and was touted as the country’s most listened to overnight radio program. It featured Bell expounding on topics as diverse as UFO sightings, Bigfoot and crop circles.

Bell retired in 2015 citing safety concerns for his family. His studios were located in his hometown of Pahrump, in Nye County, Nevada.

Nye County Sheriff Sharon Wehrly announced the death of the “longtime resident” in a brief video statement. She said he died on Friday, and that an autopsy was scheduled for later this week to determine the cause of death.

The current host of the show, George Noory, said in a statement: “Art was a legend – a radio icon who went against the grain and developed an amazing show … His impact on my life is beyond words. He will be missed, but I know he is now on another journey.”

“Coast to Coast AM” airs on more than 600 stations nationwide and is broadcast Monday through Sunday from 1-5 a.m. ET, according to Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of iHeartMedia, the leading audio company in the United States.  ‘

I am sure many listeners enjoyed his radio show and will remember him long after he is gone.
