Shockingly Close To Charles Fort

[Ermintruder]

I've noticed some responses on here are not human,

Dammit...my interocitor's been playing-up a bit...I should never have expected zwarovsky crystal to generate as much power as dilithium does.

robotic answers like they are linked to a dictionary.

estimations of verisimilitudinous as a subjective function of ambient verbosity is comprehensively-contraindicated as being a competent comparator of conceptualisational capability. And I am running low on memory

Looks like you got all those out of a dictionary

I can assure you that I most-certainly did not.

If I want to, I can write (and talk) like that. In a ridiculously-wordy way, unaided.

Honestly. And if you knew me, you'd understand why

Nice little history of Charles Fort and Fortean Times that I had forgotten about in January's edition of Saucer Smear

I expect there must be old issues of "Doubt" still surviving. Anyone here care to own up?

A little late to the party here but I have several.

Has anybody heard of the Journal of the Fortean Research Center?

There is a reprint of all 23 issues on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1300025...G5LN9I1Y&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I was wondering if anybody could recommend it.

Pretty much all available for free from academic.edu so you can have a look there and see if you want a hard copy.

Ok, thanks.

In your opinion, are they any good?

Some interesting info. It's put together in the style of private published fan zines from the '80's, think typewriter and letraset.

Basically a less dense early days Fortean Times. Conference reviews you won't find anywhere else. Some of it definitely worth it but some of the letters when they were originally received were, I suspect, written in green ink.

Alright, I'll give it a look. Cheers.

22 (wonder which one is missing) of the issues are readable in-browser on the Internet Archive

Bonus: Here's a load of Doubt

These are all reuploaded from the AFU archives.

Just looked at some of the early posts regarding Doubt magazine. I have about 20 copies from issue 2 to 24/25 (will have to have a look). The best thing about the early issues is that they contained transcripts from Charles Fort's original notebooks. I believe that later on it strayed away from pure Forteana to right wing politics.
