New Fortean Times is out, including an article by me about the 'Tarves Beastie', an obscure Aberdeenshire haunting with surprising similarities to the Gef the Talking Mongoose case. Recommended for fans of poltergeists & talking animals.

For reasons I recently had to dig out #ForteanTimes ish 108 (from 1998)... I discovered that it included my feature article on bird evolution, which made the cover. The art - Mother of All Birds - is by Luis Rey and I own the original, and have it framed. #dinosaurs #palaeoart #paleoart

Listening to the latest episode of the Chinwag podcast, where Giamatti and Asma interview the editor of the legendary Fortean Times, and now i'm vowing to use his phrase "howlingly batshit" at some point in the near future. #Cryptids #ForteanTimes #Chinwag #Podcasts

Possibly against my better judgment, I like this guy.

Or at least I liked the magazine name after him, the #ForteanTimes.

It was a good magazine. I still have the issue that traced the origins of the #Illuminati #legend. After it came out, the Times were accused of working for said Illuminati, it was kind of funny.

Holy shit, what a horrible way to die. #ForteanTimes

2023 certainly did have an uptick in drive by fruitings. #forteantimes

Congratulations to #ForteanTimes on its 50th anniversary! Many an hour I've whiled away enjoying the strangeness.

Book 37 of 2023: The Stranger Times by C.K. McDonnell. Jotting down some quick spoiler-free thoughts. https://vivdunstan.dreamwidth.org/410652.html #books #fantasy #weird #Manchester #fiction #bookstodon #reviews #bookReview #ForteanTimes

A new month, a new bunch of reading books currently on the go. Still reading #WheelOfTime book 7 but making excellent progress with it. Other books on the go include Stranger Times (like a fictionalised #ForteanTimes), #Tolkien large print #Numenor book, #queer culture in #DnD (#LGBTQ), a comprehensive #ClimateCrisis book, and 50 years of #TextGames / #InteractiveFiction. #books #reading #fiction #nonFiction #fantasy #WoT #GretaThunberg #Bookstodon

@idoubtit Most worthy. Often easier to read than #CharlesFort’s works #ForteanTimes is #FrickingAwesome. Older issues had more #Fort and on being a #Fortean fewer columns. I am positive #FT has been #inspiring #WGA members since the 80s

today is a good day, new Fortean Times to read on the way to Manchester for a Loop gig, it doesn't get much better than this

The last two issues of #ForteanTimes has an interesting pair of articles about the Mothman phenomenon, the 60s fad which was revived in a flurry of reports a decade ago. Well, the most interesting part wasn't about the alleged creature, but about the people involved - as is so often the case.

new issue of Fortean Times, woo!

February 2023

I'm volunteering with the #ForteanTimes to index their back issues. Today it's stories about lost watches and cellphones being rediscovered inside fish. Strange Days indeed.

Kevin recently found his "Birthday Issue" of #ForteanTimes from April '76. Photos when it arrives! #fortean

new Fortean Times dropped

Dogs are so weird. This morning she wouldn't eat her breakfast until I'd put some proper clothes on, instead of flubbing about in my PJs while I read my #ForteanTimes. #DogsOfMastodon #husky #DogFace #Floof
