Career
During the 1950s, Spraggett was originally a minister of the Open Door Evangelical Church. In the 1970s, he wrote The Unexplained, a syndicated newspaper column concerning the paranormal. Spraggett was host of the Canadian Broadcasting Company television quiz show Beyond Reason from 1977 to 1980.
He also hosted the radio shows Sun Spots and The Unexplained on CFRB in Toronto.
In 1979, he was charged with two counts of gross indecency, based on allegations by youths from Winnipeg. Spraggett was acquitted of these charges in April 1980.
However, he had difficulty in resuming his broadcasting and writing career after that trial.
