    Weird Circles By The River Severn

    Hello. These weird circles were visible for well over a year. (You may need to pan left a bit.) It's only just occured to me to look for them on Google Maps. Make of them what you will.

    Fortean Documentaries

    What do you make of them, are they worth bothering with at all? Of course, they may not have much to say to the veteran paranormal interestee, but at least you may get to see what the actual people and places involved are like. There have been a couple of different ones about Roswell over recent...

    Idea for a new Fortean publication.

    The Fortean Position On Science?

    Is the fortean position on science that it should be evidence driven rather than theory led? If so, then instead of concocting ideas they want to believe are true, scientists should treat the anecdotal evidence of the ordinary person who has witnessed something extraordinary as the means to...
