Radio host Art Bell – known for his conspiracy theories and interest in paranormal activity and UFOs – is dead, according to the Nye County Sheriff’s Department in Nevada. “Community Announcement — Long time resident, and radio show host, Art Bell died today at 72 years old in his home in Pahrump Nevada,” the Sheriff’s Department has announced on Facebook.
Few other details were provided. Sharon Wehrly, Nye County Sheriff, said that Bell passed away on April 13, 2018, adding that he was “best known for his conspiracy theories.” How did Bell die? That’s unknown, at least for now. He is scheduled for an autopsy later this week to determine the cause of death and was 72-years-old, the sheriff said in a videotaped press announcement. Here’s the short video press conference held by the sheriff:

First time I heard C2C with Art Bell was in 1996 driving in from work after a long day. I don’t even remember what it was about, but I was floored.
News you could use, some very informational shows, some just plain weird, but I listened whenever I could. The cats and Ramona laughing in the background. Malachi Martin. Ghost to Ghost. Guns/Military. Science. Politics. Music. History. And everything else. Everything.
One of a kind. Rest In Peace Art Bell.
RIP Mr. Bell.

Art Bell dies on Friday the 13th? Apropo.
I did not realize how many people here would be touched by this story. If you think it would be good then you could add it to one of the sidebars for the day people.
Your choice
Thanks
Like shooting Stars
and Campfire tales
the embers burn so Bright
But, Nothing lasts forever,
So GoodNight
How about a variation for the occasion:
Like shooting Stars
and Campfire tales
with embers burning Bright
Art gives voice to Fantasy
Till the Bell tolls Good Night.
Thanks for posting that obligatory meme for this thread! RIP Art Bell.

Love him, THE BEST. And so wonderfully preserved forever in the movie “A Christmas Story”.
Great stuff.
Well done. And you were riding a Ferris Wheel at the time :-)
Eternal rest Grant unto Art O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul and all the souls, of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
RIP Art
Prayers for his family
RIP Art. He had a tough life, but made for very entertaining nights. Some of that stuff really creeped me out. Good times.
Art Bell “dead?” Do you really think that “body” is “Art Bell?” Connect the dots, people. It’s 13 days ... “lucky 13” .. after April Fools Day. Coincidence? I think not. And as I type, the cats are silent and the sky is mysteriously brightening. Connect the dots.
RIP to an entertaining voice in the night.
Death is a conspiracy!
If you have ever driven across the great western desert at night and tuned in Art Bell you would have had a most eerie experience. I has occasion to a few times and his show was a perfect complement to the drive.
poor guy lived in Pahrump Nevada?
Possibly the worst place to live in America.
No doubt. Look how some Freepers turned the death of 80 year old smoker Scalia into a CIA hitm
Were you east of the Rockies or west?
I want to believe.
