charles fort

dear readers

today i would like to talk about a man named charles fort. he was a little like me. he had a normal life until one day he inherited some money. he used it to devote the rest of his life to going to libraries (my dream job;.) and scouring scientfic journals for weird things like people bursting into flames, strange rains, and lights in the sky and people who walked out the door and vanshed. he than wroted comments about them. he thenuse his notes to write four books like the Book Of The Damned, New Lands, Lo! and Wild Talents. he would write outlandishing theories about the causes of the mysteries. he did this to show that science had became a religion and needed to knocked down. he pointed strange things because scientists had a habit of ignoring or making silly therioes about them. this blog I think is keeping in the spirit of charles fort. and in the spirit of him, here are some fortean tales

a woman named mary reeser was found dead appartenly burned alive. her body was a smouldreing lump of ashes. the heat had been so high that it had coated the walls with a thick greasy substance and had melted some plastic switches. it had shrinked her skull and had fused her liver to her verbatium the only part of her body lefted her left foot in a slipper. authorties were baffled as a cigraette fires could not have cause this.

strange rains

the skies have rained strange things. here is a list

stones, pennies, fish of all kinds, crabs, shrimp ,alligtors,grain, green slimes, leaves,lizards,seeds, salamanders, a turtle worms and supposed a troll felled from the sky in norrkoping, sweden and most distrubing of all blood and flesh

a funeral procession in los angles had blood and meat raine out of a clear sky for three minutes. it even had hairs and organs included.

and finally, in 1939 a miltary transport plane lefted the marine naval air in san diego and lefted at 2:39 pm. 3 hrs later. a fanatic distress signal was sounded by radio over the pacific and faded out. the plane than came limped into san diego. the personal rushed onto the plane and discovered that everyone but the co pilot was dead. but the co pilot died before he could tell anything. all the bodies had graping wounds and the pilot and copliot had empty their .45 pistrols into something. the shells were found on the cockpit floor. a foul ordor lingered into the air. the outside was damaged. like it was hit with "missiles" and stranger still the personal who had boarded come down with a sickness. the military quietly covered it up and disposed of the bodies. what had the plane runned into and what had killed the crew?. creepy huh

weird news

people with issues

a man from tasmania. jumped into the ape enclosure at the Melbourne Zoo and yelled "I come to kill a gorilla" and kicked and punched a 220 pound ape before being locked into a cage.

that's all ladies and gentlemen

until next time love and peace
