What if you could experience Charles Fort's investigations into the supernatural as if reading a new book by the man himself?
In this collection of 71 letters, presented together for the first time, you can explore the ideas and theories of one of the most unconventional thinkers of the 20th century. Written during his time living near the British Museum at 39 Marchmont Street in London, these letters to the press reveal Fort's attempts to gather evidence and eyewitness accounts of extraordinary events. From reports of airships to bizarre animal rains, this rare correspondence provides a unique glimpse into the work of a visionary ahead of his time.
Charles Fort, born in 1874, dedicated his life to investigating the unexplained and challenging the scientific community's dismissal of anomalous phenomena. His research and unorthodox thinking established him as a pioneer in the study of the paranormal and history's first UFO researcher.
LETTERS OF THE DAMNED opens a rare window into the origins of Fortean thought. By presenting Fort's inquiries and musings as they happened, you can immerse yourself in the mind of a man often regarded as the "father of the supernatural."
Discover the fascinating universe of a trailblazing iconoclast who dared to question the boundaries of reality.
This is one of most important Talking Weird episodes of the year, and recasts much that we know about Charles Fort, the founder of our field, in a new and revelatory light.
