buy Ivermectin 12 mg These next entries include some topics that eventually became part of ufology–ghosts, the Shaver Mystery, and fairy folklore–as well as John’s memorable definition 0f a skeptic. Since Shaver and the sidhe are mentioned, I’ll add an old Amazing Stories cover illustrating a Shaver story about the sidhe: not part of his “Mystery,” just a rousing sword-and-sorcery yarn about Irish warriors and fairy magic. Nevertheless, Shaver did maintain that all the folklore about people living underground was evidence for his own beliefs.
Mr.Skinner can you tell me if John had ever met with Eric von Daniken? What did John make of his “ancient astronaut theory”(more like a hypothesis anyway)?
Can you tell if John had ever visited the skinwalker ranch which is apparently a hotspot of ufos and other anomalies?

I don’t know if John ever met with von Däniken. He’s pretty dismissive of him in the first chapter of The Mothman Prophecies: “Erich Von Däniken, a Swiss author, has popularized the concept that members of an extraterrestrial civilization did contact early earthlings, basing his theories on expansive misinterpretations–and in several instances, deliberate misinterpretations–of archaeological curiosities. Von Däniken seems to be totally ignorant of the work of European scholars such as Brinkley Trench, Paul Misraki, and W. Raymond Drake, who have examined the same curiosities very carefully in the past ten years and developed elaborate philosophical hypotheses about the intrusion and effect of alien beings on mankind since the beginning. Their concept are wider in scope and significance, and far better documented than Von Däniken’s simplistic efforts.”
Skinwalker Ranch started getting attention in the late ’90s, when John’s health and finances didn’t permit much travel.
