I hope he doesn’t come back as a ghost.

Randi's foundation had a million-dollar prize for anyone who could demonstrate conclusive evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. That included faith healers, astrologists, homeopaths, dowsers, aura-seers, and the like. The kicker: the test conditions had to be agreed to by both parties.

No one ever got the prize, though many tried and failed. Some famous flimflam artists refused to take the test.

He will be sorely missed by those who prefer objective evidence to wild claims.
