I’m a night owl now but I pulled a lot of all nighters in high school. I’d stay up and listen to Art Bell many of those nights. His voice was one of a kind and his shows were so weird & spooky but somehow managed to hold off your skepticism. Of course he died on Friday the 13th.

My dad passed his love for Art Bell onto me. We believe in everything. Monsters. Bigfoot. Ufos. The world is infinitely more interesting when you're not a skeptic. Thanks for the stories, Art. https://t.co/QWmlTjrskk

There will never be another Art Bell. Thank you, Art, for giving a voice to so many of us who explore the unexplained. Our world will be a little less weird and wonderful without you. God speed on your next adventure. June 17, 1945 - April 13, 2018 #RIP #ArtBell pic.twitter.com/cQHAuTjcaw

RIP Art Bell. @BDolanSFR and I were scouring the AM stations two days ago in hopes of finding “Coast to Coast.” That show kept us great company on on so many late night drives over the decades. 🙏🏻
