    Mysterious Events Podcast

    Hey all! I've decided to start a new podcast focusing on less well known unsolved mysteries and the like. It's called "Mysterious Events with Steven A. McKay" and episode 1 is out now on the major podcast outlets. There's also a (very basic!) video for it on our YouTube channel. I'm planning to...

    The House In The Marsh (Inspired By FT 408!)

    My new novella is out NOW on Kindle and paperback (free to read with Kindle Unlimited). This is part of my Forest Lord series which started off as a reboot of the Robin Hood legend, but moved onto something a little different. The story sees John Little (a bailiff), Tuck, and Will Scaflock...

    Jack O'Legs: A Robin Hood-Type Character

    Someone recently mentioned Jack O'Legs to me, as if I should know what that was. I've written a few novels about Robin Hood, but I'd never heard of this legend, and neither had a couple of other authors writing about Hood and some guys I would consider uber-fans of his various incarnations...

    Shared Strangeness At Night

    Woke up the other night, about 2 in the morning,all fairly dark but I thought I could see a figure walking out the room. Female, pretty tall. Could even hear the soft footsteps on the carpet. I read, and listen to a lot of podcasts, about the paranormal so I just put it down to my imagination...

    Podcast Section (Fortean Times Magazine)

    Just wanted to say I'm really liking this new adddition. I've looked back through the recent issues and downloaded a few of the episodes mentioned in them, been enjoying them in my car at work the past couple of days. I didn't mind the "Coffee With Jeff" song unlike the reviewer, but I did find...

    FT354

    The weekend is sorted! Had a quick look through FT, the Les Dawson piece should be good.

    FT352

    This arrived yesterday but, irritatingly, went to my mum's house instead of mine. She gets me a gift subscription as an Xmas present and the people in the subs department always make a total arse of it. Will post a photo of the cover later when I'm not so furious :fckpc: :p

    Looks a good one. Don't see a Jenny Randles piece but Barry Baldwin has an article.

    FT350

    Fortean Times 350 just plopped through the door. Looks a good one! Mythconceptions is an interesting one for me - I always thought it was true, to the extent I've been telling it to my 9-year-old daughter!

    FT349

    Sorry, I know some of you still haven't got 348 but my copy of January's issue arrived about a week ago, I just hadn't bothered posting the new thread as I haven't had a chance to look at it. You'll be glad to know IHTM is back - personally not too bothered as I think the majority of the...

    FT348

    Just came in! Krampus on the cover, more of the clowns which don't seem to be in the news now and what looks a really interesting article with some worms. :cool:

    FT346

    Just came through the door, Hallowe'en issue! The "Hitler's Hellmouth" and "A Visit to the Underworld" pieces look really interesting.

    FT343

    Mine came today! Looks an interesting issue although I have to say I doubt the cover art would draw in new readers. The piece about writing on the clouds will be good I think, and the little cartoon on the editorial page tickled me! I don't normally read the Strange Deaths these days, but I did...

    Get in, subscription is back on track and I'm first to get the new issue! :-) Not even looked at it yet, I only just got last months during the week.

    Three odd things yesterday

    I was working in Milngavie (near Glasgow) yesterday. I'm a meter reader in my day job so I get about and this particular area is well to do and "leafy". Of course, yesterday Hurricane Henry was battering us so I was out in the evening rather nervous! I was also listening to the HP Lovecraft...

    FT329

    Just arrived, looks pretty good with some stuff on werewolves. The pages seem to be curling up in a strange manner which I've never seen before though...Anyone else notice that? I wonder if they've switched to thinner paper. I notice a news piece on the weird "sky sounds" people have apparently...

    Standing stones near Dalmellington

    I found these today, purely by 'chance'. There was a sign but I was in a hurry so didn't stop to read it, although I did take a photo. I didn't spend anything like as much time here as I'd have liked as I had to get back to work but I did feel it was a magical place. Certainly wanted to come...

    Came this morning, looks like a pretty good issue. The article about conspiracy theories looks good as does the haunted farm!

    Translocating book

    I was going to take my 6 year old daughter to the library the other week so we went up to her bedroom to find the books she had borrowed. We spent ages hunting for "The Secret Garden" and eventually found it under her bed IIRC. So we left it on top of the bed and continued to look for the rest...
