Waarom spook 'n skoorsoekerige goewerneur, 'n koninklike kleinseun en 'n gewetenlose moordernaar ewe vlytig as Daisy de Melker, sr. Henrietta Stockdale en lady Anne Barnard? En wat is dit met dwaalligte en spookfoto's?
Charles Fort's classic recording of unexplained, paranormal events
and phenomena offer fascinating insights into bizarre occurrences
the author felt had been unjustly damned from formal, scientific
study. The title derives from the author's perception that the
book's subjects were so stigmatized and excluded from ordinary
scientific inquiry that they had become 'damned'. Perhaps
permanently forbade for formal study, the oddities and unexplained
events in this text were felt worthy of attention by the author,
who eventually became an authority on anomalous phenomena. The
topics in Fort's thesis include unexplained disappearances of large
groups of people, frogs and fish suddenly raining from the sky, the
possibility that mythical beasts such as giants exist, UFOs
manifest as glowing and sometimes moving lights in the sky, and
bizarre weather phenomena. Fort attributes credence to many of
these oddities, and argues that science - by dismissing them - has
become a religion in itself.
