Steven A. McKay Rock, Paper, Swords Podcast It’s brilliant. “I did not observe anything strange in the dog’s behaviour and it did not seem to have the slightest interest in jumping from the bridge. We all got across safely.” Fortean Times is always an excellent read.

We are rather touched by this rare display of affection... thank you, Tracy

I spoke to Kevin Gates, the author of 'The Paranormal Diaries: Clophill', who wrote the definitive book on this topic. It's been unavailable for AGES and going for high prices, but he's kindly made ten available on eBay.

Mermaids 🧜🏾‍♀️ and minimals 🐺 of Suffolk, “some of the oddest putative denizens of that curious county”, an extract from /Mystery Animals of Suffolk/, in the current issue of Fortean Times (FT444, May 2024).
Also a Suffolk kookaburra (last I heard it’s moved to Essex, though.)

The Fortean Times is one of life's gentle, subtle pleasures that makes the world seem a more colourful and infinitely weirder place. Started reading it when I was 16. It's been thirty years of strange phenomena since.

Good advice – and very succinctly put!

If you fancy a rollicking read about a quack who implanted goat testicles in healthly men, charmed Hollywood, became a pirate Mexican radio talk radio new age pioneer, popularised country music and died a drunk bitter nazi, get down to newsagents for this month's Fortean Times

Bravo Fortean Times! Not since the glory days of Viz Comic’s Vibrating Bum-Faced Goats referring to its own protagonists as “rectum-resembling ruminants” have we enjoyed such alliterative hircine hilarity

Things we get in the post. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Astounding article by Bob Fischer in latest Fortean Times about a intricate 1984 hoax broadcast by BBC That's Life. Had to ask myself why I'd never seen or heard of it. Turns out ITV was showing a repeat of The Professionals (Lawsons Last Stand) followed by Spitting Image.

I can't be the only #Fortean minded person who immediately wondered whether the Mothman was back... #baltimorebridge Fortean Times

Fortean Times
Maybe a bit much for 'sidelines' ?

Some of the work we do is, in fact, monstrous. Here we have Charles Paxton in the @ForteanTimes talking about his research. Statistics can also be applied to rather 'weird' stuff, and that is beautiful.
