Your Host - Professor Skelton
Professor Skelton is one of the world’s leading paranormal experts and a bestselling author. He was able to overcome being born a literal skeleton to rise to the very top of his field. Professor Skelton has the unique ability to speak with the dead, a gift he has used to unlock some of the world’s greatest mysteries.
I don’t just speak to the dead, I become them, once I started my own Broadway musical just because the deceased I was communicating with liked to go to the theatre. It was called ‘Funny Bones’, it ran for three years!
– Professor Skelton, Nobody but Me
