Fortean Times, The Reviews

Charles Fort, than man from who the term 'Fortean' derives, was an obsessive American collector of strange tales and anomolies in the early 20th Century. His philosophy was to subscribe to no particular belief system, and to see both religion and science as rigid systems that ignored any information that didn't sit comfortably with their world ...

I've been with the Fortean Times since way back at issue 31. Over the years since then it has got more glossy, but it still never ceases to amaze me. This latest issue is no exception. Fortean Times is a monthly mag founded in 1973 to continue the work of Charles Fort, who, in the early part of the 20th Century was among the first to ...

Fortean Times is the best magazine on earth. It's a simple as that. Ask anyone who reads it, most of us are lifelong addicts from our first exposure. Some of us go as far as attending the yearly convention, for an even bigger fix of high strangeness. This publication just seems to inspire joy in it's readers, with ...

Life is so boring and predictable isn’t it? From cradle to grave life is just mundane event after mundane event. Childhood curiosity and imagination is seen crushed under sexual/hormone awakenings, money becomes our god. Science has the answers for everything and everything is under control. The News reports another conflict, another ...

For anyone who is interested in the weird, surprising or off-beat, Fortean Times magazine is a definite must! It is a gateway into all of the off-beat, seemingly miraculous and peculiar phenomenon that occur with rather alarming reality in the world in which we live. I began reading Fortean Times a couple of years ago, and since then ...

The Fortean Times never ceases to fascinate me. It's full of weird and wonderful things that you would never imagine. Some of the items are so bizaare that I'm not sure that they are genuine. They are supposed to be! This magazine first appeared in the 1970's and has produced a selection of 'weird' books over the ...

I started reading this magazine years back as a fortean uninformed, and to this day I yearn for each new issue to appear in my postbox. This is the perfect magazine to get for your basic introduction to all that is fortean; By that I mean cults, aliens, modern myths, strange phenomena or anything that doesn't SEEM to be explained by ...

If you are looking for a magazine about strange phenomena but not necessarily the grotesque, 'Fortean Times' may be for you.

I've subscribed for some years now and still enjoy a good read of this magazine. Some articles are a bit strange. Some are a little boring, but basically the magazine manages a good balance of fun, silliness, education, information and discussion. It is split nicely with short, flickable articles at the front and longer ones at the ...

I used to subscribe to Fortean Times. For some reason I let the subscription go and now I only buy it occasionally. Why on earth I don't resubscribe, I don't know. It's a fab magazine, full of interesting information, and when people visit my house and see it on the coffee table, they always pick it up and have a leaf ...

I have been taking FT since it was a subscription only magazine and not available on the shelves of W H Smiths. It is a collection of news clippings and articles about all things Fortean, that is unusual, anomalous incidents. In true Fortean style they magazine tries not to judge the items reported nor guarantees their authenticity but to report ...

The journal of strange phenomena is how tis magazine is described on the front cover. How very true. The subjects covered by the magazine are put forward in such a way as to make the reader think about things and make an informed decision. Fortean Times covers everything from strange showers to UFO's and strange creatures with ...
