Career

Campbell was born in 1937 in Birmingham. He trained as an architect and worked as one until the mid-1970s. He obtained a BA in mathematics and science from the Open University in 1983. He wrote The Loch Ness Monster: The Evidence which argues against the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. The book examines eyewitness reports, as well as photos and instrumental evidence. Campbell concluded that the alleged sightings are best explained by logs, otters, ripples, seiches, wakes and hoaxes. In 1994 Campbell's book The UFO Mystery Solved was published by Explicit. The work was reviewed in the Journal of Meteorology as "a well-researched book" that will assist in dispelling the mysteries surrounding unidentified flying objects. Campbell is a former Christian who later authored a sceptical work on Christianity, The Rise and Fall Of Jesus published in 1996. The book was republished in 2019. Campbell has written articles for Skeptical Inquirer, The Skeptic magazine and The Scotsman.
