Arrived this morning! Main feature about Churchill's battle against UFOs or something! Haven't had time for a proper read of it yet!

FIRST!!! My lives ambition is complete!!! Conspiracy in the age of trump, lives of fasting artists and John keel in Hollywood, doesn't look like an issue that will interest me, but I was FIRST!!!!

I was about to walk into town to the library, the postie has saved me that rainy trip because my new issue has arrived. This months is as varied as I remember FT being at its best, I'm only up to page 21 and we've had weeping Mary statues, a new chimeric cat, a woman who's married the ghost of...

It's here! And it's about Lovecraft's Elder Gods! Alas, it looks like a Trump-heavy issue and I've had more than my fill of him, but it's the zeitgeist I suppose. Bumper IHTM makes up for it (well, two pages). The woman's blinking visions simply sounds like eye floaters she is interpreting...

Hey, I got the new ish early for a change! Have read a bit, the letters page was pretty snippy and testy this time, I note. Main article about robots taking over or something. Interesting apology for issue 236's back page in the editorial. Scared the kids, apparently. Some of us remember...

Just dropped through my letterbox. Really looking forward to reading this later, as Witchfinder General is probably my favourite movie!

Nice little coincidence: was at the optician's this morning, and when I got back the new FT was waiting for me. As usual, I turned to Mythconceptions first - and it's about opticians. Looking forward to reading about Richard Nixon and Rodney Dangerfield.

Got mine yesterday. Some interesting Easter reading - Eucharistic Miracles, Baphomet and Soviet fourth dimensional architecture. I'm not really one for ickle animal stories but felt sorry for the dog on page 15, not a pleasant way to go to doggy heaven!

I seem to be quite fortunate in receiving my FT's earlier than some, the latest issue's a good mix of all sorts of weird crap. I'd never heard of the Wych Elm Bella tree before despite me being a brummie ... we've got koala stowaways, Yorkshire UFO crash, Roman ghosts of Chester (although the...

I had the latest issue delivered yesterday, impressive seeing as it's the February issue and mine arrived on the 26th Jan ! .. top work team Fortean Times and it looks like a juicy issue with loads to wade through :twothumbs:

Just got it today, might have a read later

Got this just now, don't know if i will get around to reading it, i still have several others to read

Received my copy of FT 360 today. Interesting article on "The Mystery Lights of East Anglia".

What a nice surprise, a new FT arriving on time - this new distributor deal is working out. It's a witchy Halloween special, haven't had a chance to delve into the articles yet, but I did read the letters page. Um... very brave to publish the missives from the "critics", especially the first...

No 'It Happened to me' again :ranting:

What do you know? They might have sorted out the subs, because I had FT 357 drop through my letterbox this morning! Five days before its street date! Will wonders never cease? Had a look, they're taking the piss with Crowley now - or are they taking the piss out of Crowley now? Superbly...

Just got this, doesnt look too bad Project Five Percent looks interesting, all about Unsolved UFO cases re-examined Front cover is the Cottingley Fairies, never been much interested in those

I've just got the latest instalment. Eagerly I went to check if 'It happened to me' was in there. I am very happy it's a double page spread this month. :rofl:

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

Got it yesterday. Looking very good, especially Mr Josiffe's Gef article. Have some time to myself later so will have a proper read.

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.

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!

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...

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:

Does anyone else think Alan Murdie went on a bit too much about the supposed demon and poltergeist detecting machine in his Ghostwatch article? The fairly obvious point seems hammered home a little too emphatically. Killer clowns this month, almost inevitably. It's obviously the fortean topic...

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

I got mine today (well yesterday as its late). I've not read much yet. But I'm slightly concerned about the advert for men's pants with a phone pocket. Irradiated goolies can't be good.

I was wondering what people make of the ghostly hand in the picture on page 12.

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...

The Fortean Times' editor on what makes a successful niche magazine CHRIS SUTCLIFFE 14th July 2016 00:01 View comments For those interested in the paranormal, the term 'out-of-place artifact' means something very special: An item that was found in a place that defies explanation, such as an...

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.

Oooh! Ghostwatch This month is about East Anglia's black dogs, one of my favourite folklore subjects.:) The cover story is about the recent surge in celebrity deaths, and Randy Quaid's opinion of who the perpetrators are. Hambling's Science column explores the 'science' behind Tesla's...

Just received this, thats a scary teddy on the cover :eek: A nose for trouble: Pets that sniff out owners illnesses Boring for Britain: Meet the nations dullest men The XXX Files: Et sex and hybrid babies Return to East Gate: Rendlesham Forest revisited Big pharma conspiracy Hedgehog myths Yeti...

Just been reading the new ish, David Bowie and his weirdness is the main article, not bad but mostly a bunch of anecdotes. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it does make me sad we can't ask him what he really meant anymore. Also, a historical UFO/fireball, the new X-Files, and a Simulacra...

Pleased to see this arrive this morning, on an unseasonably spring like day. Ghostwatch might be interesting again this month, exploring the Hertfordshire town of Bishop's Stortford, a pretty town which I know a little. Dr Shuker has good news for Nessie hunters in Alien Zoo; seems there was...

Interesting demolishing of the 'rich yank bought London Bridge thinking it was Tower Bridge' myth in Mythconceptions. I suppose it was never a very convincing story. Unusually for me, Ghostwatch gains my attention. But then, it is about sexual encounters. Otherwise, I look forward to delving...

I had thought the subscribers would be receiving their issues by now, since it is due out next week... No doubt someone will receive their issue in the next few days and post the highlights.

A tweet has been sent out from the Editor! UK subscribers should start getting their copies of FT334 soon - just a warning that it's a rather gruesome issue and not one for the kids! On Oct 29 the Editor has tweeted: Feel a bit creeped out after doing this magic n' murder-focused issue - look...

It graced the doormat this morning, with a striking cover illustration of the Scape Ore lizard man. As a cryptid fan, I'm looking forward to that article. Also, I'm excited to read about the strange antics of the Strangest Family in England. Otherwise, few things stand out to me from this issue...

Just got home and was suprised to see it here, havent read it yet tho.

Always wanted to be the first to say - mine arrived this morning. Not had a chance to read it yet though.

A new FT arrived today, but I haven't had time to look at it yet. Lightning strikes is the main story, though (topical for the current weather).

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...

Had a read of the new FT, and there's a darn good article on a Phantom Hitchhiker case that reminds me of how paranormal research used to be, lots of accounts of weirdness and a neat sum up at the end, nothing concrete, just a pleasing "what if?". Nice to see an old case revived like that...

Nobody else got theirs yet? I've been consuming some of it this afternoon, the lead article reads like an extended book review but pleasant enough, if a bit short. Letters seem divided between exploding heads and colour on black and white TVs. Oh, and is anyone actually going to Turkey...

Has no one else had theirs yet, or am I the only person sad enough to start a thread? Mine arrived at Bin Towers on Friday. Vampires seems to be the main theme. Is there something going on with the light levels at FT HQ? I ask because so many pictures seem to be printed too dark. I had to...

Hope we all get this one! Stuffed full of articles this time around, including one on fat boy sideshow attractions of old, which is interesting but must feature the most repetitive group of photographs for any FT article ever (it's the fat boy, it's the fat boy again, guess what - in the same...

I'm binding my old X-Files comics by Stefan Petrucha and Charlie Adlard into a hardcover collection, and in addition to Mr. Petrucha citing FT in his research bibliographies for some of his issues, he explicitly referenced an interview he gave in FT #82, August 1995, which was an X-Files centric...

Hello again, I am looking for a copy of an article about the 1978 talking tortoise of Uganda which features in FT 27 p. 39. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
