About the Inventor of Paranormal Radio
By Gene Steinberg
We’re proud of the fact that The Paracast gets high marks when it comes to paranormal radio shows. But we are far from the first in this tiny arena. While some of you might regard Art Bell’s Coast To Coast AM as the first successful show of its type, that honor goes to the late Long John Nebel.
Nebel began his radio career in 1954 on WOR, a major New York City station. Since it was on what we call a clear channel, 710 AM, where there weren’t many competing stations on the same frequency, the show could be heard at night in dozens of states. So Long John became a national radio personality years before he actually got a network syndication deal.
Long John focused his show, which originally ran from midnight until 5:00 AM, on all sorts of topics from politics to the world of the strange and unknown. Indeed, many of the famous figures of early UFO and paranormal research were lucky enough to got booked on Long John’s show, but there was no guarantee of a favorable reception from the host.
So at times, Long John and his panel of regulars would treat a guest in a fair and balanced fashion, smartly eliciting information. At other times, and sometimes it depended on the state of the host’s mercurial personality, he and his cohorts would go after a guest and viserate them on the air.
Long John had his sole chance at a TV career in the 1960s, but the show didn’t grab the ratings and was discontinued. Still there were some classic moments. One that comes to mind was the appearance of a well-known UFO contactee, Howard Menger. He had already told his tales stories about meeting extraterrestrials on a number of occasions on Long John’s radio show, so it seemed natural that he’d present some pretty far out material on the TV show.
But Menger pulled a fast one. He used his TV appearance to completely mess with Long John’s head. He unexpectedly asserted that his contact experiences may not have involved aliens after all, but perhaps government agents who were engaged in some sort of psychological experiment.
In passing, Menger told the very same story to me and Jim Moseley when we met him in the mid-1960s at a New York City diner. But you can bet that Long John was surprised, and very much irritated, to be confronted with such an unexpected development.
And, by the way, Jim and I never really believed any of Menger’s outrageous claims, but he seemed a personable fellow, if perhaps more than a little crazy.
Some of Long John’s panelists were famous in their own right, such as Jackie Gleason, who had a deep interest in UFOs and kept a library of hundreds of books on the subject. Another of his regulars was Khigh Dhiegh. a character actor probably best known to TV viewers as Wo Fat in the original “Hawaii Five-O.” But he also gained fame as the evil oriental doctor in “The Manchurian Candidate.”
One of Long John’s producers was Paris Flammonde, who did have an authentic interest in UFOs and later wrote books on that subject and the Kennedy assassination.
Long John was the consummate showman and he was notorious for pulling over-the-top stunts from time to time on his radio show. So there was a time when Gray Barker, Jim Moseley’s close friend and fellow traveler, was on Long John’s show to talk about the Men In Black. Well, during one segment, Long John mentioned something about the government possibly cutting them off the air, and suddenly music filled the speakers in the studio and on the radios of listeners.
Long John claimed that station management called the control room and asked them to terminate the episode with extreme prejudice. They clearly wanted to convey the impression that the discussion came to a halt because of government interference to prevent something important from being revealed. Moseley later told me it was just a silly prank, though I wonder if Long John’s employers were happy with how it went down.
The long and short of it — and forgive the pun — is that Long John presented episodes about the paranormal strictly to build an audience, not necessarily because he actually believed in any of it. Before getting the radio gig, he ran an auction and consignment store in New Jersey, and was regarded as the consummate salesman. Indeed, his ad-libbed commercials were, at times, the best part of the show.
When I was young, I’d frequently stay up late at night to listen to Long John. I was never a guest on the show — I was too young — but I can point to him as an inspiration for my later decision to become a broadcaster.
In passing, my late brother, Wally, actually did appear as a panelist on the show, but only once. Evidently they wanted him to return, but he had a day job and a young family to support. Radio wasn’t in his blood.
In the final years of his life, Long John had a co-host, his wife Candy Jones, a former model. Now maybe it was just a scam of which Long John was a part, but there was that curious book, “The Control of Candy Jones,” which claimed that she was used by the CIA as a guinea pig as part of their MK-ULTRA mind control experiments.
The story has it that this curious situation was revealed when Long John hypnotized his wife, and brought forth evidence of a second identity, someone named “Arlene,” who was allegedly used by the authorities to engage in top secret activities. Whenever Jones had to perform government work, she’d become Arlene.
Or maybe it was another of Long John’s notorious hoaxes; some suggest false memories. Either possibility seems more likely than that Candy Jones was actually a government agent.
It does bring to mind that outrageous “unauthorized” autobiography from “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris, who claimed that he spent nearly two decades living a second life as a covert CIA assassin. The story was adapted for a modestly successful film directed by George Clooney and starring Sam Rockwell as Barris.
Long John Nebel died of cancer in 1978. Candy Jones took over the show and ran it until 1989. She died the following year.
While Long John presented paranormal discussions in the interests of entertainment rather than conveying authentic information about our “way out world,” it’s a sure thing that he set the standard for paranormal radio.
