Charles Berlitz, a noted linguist and author whose books, including "The Bermuda Triangle," explored the paranormal, has died at age 90.

Berlitz, whose grandfather founded the language schools that bear the family name, died Dec. 18 at University Hospital in Tamarac, relatives said.

...

Berlitz was internationally known for his 1974 best seller on the Bermuda Triangle, but he also wrote other books on paranormal phenomena, including "Without a Trace," "The Philadelphia Experiment-Project Invisibility," "The Roswell Incident" and "The Dragon's Triangle."

It was his "The Bermuda Triangle" that set me on the road, eventually, to skepticism. Thanks, Charles!

3. One good thing.

At least now we won't see any more bullshit books written by this hack.

Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh and Savage must have taken book-writing lessons from Charles Berlitz.
