One such is the first issue of 'Fortean News' - from a straightforward search, "Charles Fort".
Naturally, the last thing I wish is to invoke copyright issues, so, if of interest, this is the original cover and first two pages only, deemed by myself as 'fair use'.

Again, just to highlight the wealth of material available from this website.
It also recognises specific searches such as, say, re the 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville case and primary witness Elmer 'Lucky' Sutton... "Sutton Hopkinsville" brings up loads of related material - much of which, under 'documents', is completely new to myself.
One other point, searches recognise what also might be related. For example, soon as you type in "Hopkinsville 1955", etc., expect recommendations about 'cryptoids'.
Hopefully self explanatory:

At 634 pages, this book is an absolute revelation to myself and within a minute, had already bookmarked around 20 articles.
Currently reading Bob Mortimer's autobiography "...And Away" - I don't normally go for celeb autobiographies, but love the man. As you'd probably expect, it's funny and has some great tales of capers, but is also touching and sad in places, as he talks about the death of his dad when he was just a kid, and his battles with depression and crippling shyness.
The Gospel of the Eels by Patrik Svensson.
It’s a fantastic bit of nature writing that was a surprise bestseller in Sweden and has recently been translated into English.
The book tracks the migratory habits of the European eel, and considers why we’re so fascinated with the species. A terrific read.
I noticed there is a programme starting soon on DMAX about elver fishermen.Sounds decidedly interesting; am reckoning on looking out for it. I can recommend an (originally) English-language, seeming quite close equivalent: The Book of Eels by Tom Fort, published 2002. About the European eel and its natural history (one understands from the book, said natural history remarkably little-known / -understood, until surprisingly late-on) and particulars of fishing for said species, and its present-day threatened status, and attempts at its conservation -- such "encounters" by the author, in the British Isles; also further afield. Indeed -- as above -- a creature that fascinates.
