    When The Lights Went Out

    Just watched the film from 2012, no idea how I'd missed that one, but usually shy away from contemporary stock horror, much to my own detriment sometimes.

    The Man From Taured (Japan; 1959)

    (This thread about The Man From Taured consolidates relevant postings made in multiple other threads, from which material has been excerpted or moved.) I wonder when Andorra will be renamed as Taured. http://weekinweird.com/2014/05/20/man-without-country-mystery-man-taured/

    The Battersea Poltergeist

    Colin Wilson

    I am fascinated by Colin Wilson. Before developing a taste in Forteana, I was aware of him through reading The Outsider, A Criminal History of Mankind and his autobiography - all of which are exceptionally intelligent and erudite books. Once my interest in the world of the unusual had...
