I didn't agree with most of what John Lear said however I am sorry to hear of his death.
In the 90s he kept me enthralled with his stories late at night on Art Bells show,that was before the veil was pulled away and the internet revealed that those scary monsters were mainly stories.

R I P Goggs my sympathy to your family and friends you will be remberred always by Paracast listeners.
