This thread is about Shameless Joe Nickel, one of the more prominent public faces of the skeptics’ movement. Shameless Joe also holds the dubious honor of being the first ever inductee into the Skeptibunkers Hall of Shame. He earned his spot with this ludicrous explanation for the following...

"Investigating the Paranormal: Ghosts, Monsters, Miracles, and other Strange Mysteries" John Edson Sweet Lecture by Joe Nickell, Ph.D. Sponsored by Central New York Skeptics and the Technology Alliance of Central New York Time: Wednesday, May 20, 2015, 6:30 PM Where: Storer Auditorium, SUNY...

I am not sure which forum is best for this, but I chose this one as I find the different aspect of such a noted skeptic investigator to be refreshing. I happened to be at the Four Roses Bourbon Distillery this week and saw The Kentucky Mint Julep book on sale in the gift store. As I am not...

I was lucky enough to attend this year's Dragon*con in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the highlights was Sunday night's panel The Truth About Ghosts and Ghost Hunting with Joe Nickell and Benjamin Radford, both of whom are heroes of mine. Tim Farley of What's The Harm encouraged me to blog about it...

CNY Skeptics' good friend, Joe Nickell, will be returning to Syracuse to talk to us about his recent paranormal investigations. It's sure to be an entertaining and enlightening evening, and Joe always leaves time for a Q & A session. Hope some of you skeptics in the area will be able to make...

http://www.civil-liberties.com/factoids/abevision.htm I have checked through this website but they don't disclose when and where Lincoln supposedly made this statement. Even if he did, however, wasn't Lincoln assassinated outside of the White House?

An MSNBC Live Poll here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11130736/ indicates that a full 40% of people still think that the Shroud is genuine (i.e., solid proof of the resurection). Hasn't this been done to death showing that it is at best a 13th century fake? Why do people continue to believe this...

This is toooooo funny, and my irony meter is now officially broken. I searched and couldn't believe no one had posted this article here. Seems our friend Sylvia has a new book. And CSICOP's Joe Nickell read it in order to review it. Here's what he found. My sides hurt from laughing so...

This week we interview Joe Nickell who has been conducting paranormal investigations for over thirty years. Joe has written for Skeptical Inquirer magazine, Skeptical Briefs newsletters and has released several books. Author of Real-Life X-Files, Crime Science, Looking for a Miracle, Psychic...

Court TV just ran a "Psychic Detective" about a murder in Michigan that was supposedly solved by Noreen Renier. Last name of the person they convicted was Holmes. Please tell me this has been debunked. I can't find anything about the case either way.

Kitty, Hi! I can't seem to get hold of you by PM. I would go upstairs and use the phone to call you, but I think you accidentally locked the basement door when you left for TAM. So hope you don't mind my writing to you this way. (Anyone who's not Kitty, please ignore this message.)...

Sunday, June 6, 2004, Central New York Skeptics is presenting an all-day paranormal investigations workshop. This workshop gives participants the unique opportunity to study investigation techniques with Joe Nickell, one of the top paranormal researchers in the world, and Ben Radford, managing...

Oh My Ed! I have put down, "Why don't we have JOE NICKELL?" in the TAM wish list....twice! I adore this man. I have his books. His writing got me to sleep in a haunted (by rats!) cemetary. I have "solved" a haunted house mystery using what I learned from his books. I have reccomended his...
