![]() ![]() ![]() murderous wild animals, mysterious disappearances, manifestations of psychotic mania, speaking in tongues-and, of course, the cow that gave birth to two lambs.Īll of this Fortean wonder is prefaced by a magnificent new introductory essay by Jack Womack, winner of the Philip K. Here Fort’s epic account of spontaneous combustion, lights in the sky, poltergeists, unseen. Here are accounts of UFOs, accounts of odd animals seen at sea or on land, mysterious attacks by what appear to have been animals, mysterious appearances of things and people in places they could not be. Here you’ll find rains of the unexpected, fish, snakes, and other items from the “super-Sargasso sea” of the unexplained that circles the Earth. In these four volumes Fort organized and commented on a wild host of phenomena: flying saucers seen in the sky before the invention of aircraft, flying wheels, strange noises in the sky correlation. In words at times as beautiful as anything ever written in English, Fort reveals the marvels of an age, questions the nature of what we think we know for certain, and provides the reader with leads on how not to be fooled by shaggy dog stories. His research appeared in four books: The Book of the Damned, New Lands, Lo, and Wild Talents. Lo! Welcome to the worlds of Charles Fort, chronicler of the odd, the weird, the strange, the unexpected, and the inexplicable. ![]()
