    I have one very large thick paper back book by Charles Fort.
    Its called the Complete Books Of Charles Fort.
    It contains,
    The Book Of The Dammed.
    Lo!.
    Wild Talents.
    New Lands.

    I bought it after watching One of Jordan Maxwell's presentations.
    He mentioned it as being a book that explains all.
    He was told to get the book during one of his paranormal experiences, of which he had many.
    The presentations were in the good old days of Project Camelot with Kerry and Bill.

    how far back in history did Fort go with his long lost stories?

    I read that Fort's system of recording his found oddities were 1 x 2-3" scraps of paper dumped into labeled boxes.
    funny.
    worth owning?

    Well for me John Keel explains it in a better form of writing.
    I can ponder the mysteries without more puzzles. I don't need more puzzles.
    I want some clarity and truth.
    I probaby will not get it but its all worth a try, at the moment anyway.

    here's an excellent keel interview leading to the release of his movie.

    at this point, john wasn't feeling well, yet he gave it his all.
    at some point, john snaps at the interviewer for badgering
    (later, the audio gets messed up, speeds up and slows down, eventually correcting itself. don't freak out.)

    his last statement is pretty telling as to the lingering residue of his mothman experience.

    are you reading or have read him?
    if so, which one(s)?
    I'm into 'operation trojan horse.'
    if begins comparing (in detail) two big ufo flaps: 1967 v. 1897
    fascinating research into the never ending story.
    that's where I'm at now.

    I am nearly finished The Eighth Tower, it's not a Large book so I am taking my time with it.
    I want to read more of his work and my Christmas list contains titles of his other books.
    So I am looking forward to some winter reading.

    This thread with his interviews and articles is giving me a better grasp of the paranormal, so when I come to read
    J. Keel's books I hope I will have a better understanding.
    I think I may get The Mothman Prophecies DVD so I can see the things I missed first time round.
    Frances.

    I thoroughly enjoyed The Eighth Tower.... working on a second reading, almost back to back. this time I've been doing some fact checking online from all the countless astounding stories he mentions. I imagine his networking system was much more difficult back then. newspaper clippings and phone calls, getting out and beating the path. His fortean chronicles are amazingly accurate. so many challenging and ridiculed his work... he showed the truth, plain as day... it was a bitter pill for many. you know, here at TOT, we are all a little bit of Forteans. :-)

    or is it now, 'keelean'

    if keel was actively researching today, he'd have a field day.
    n-o-o-o problem.

    the stories connected to the nationwide flap on 1897 are riveting and über odd.
    he spent lots of time researching the book, operation trojan horse
    and didn't get a penny of royalty. (from the last posted interview)
    it didn't sell. it didn't fit the popular paradigm.
    stupid humans ; )

    keel knew. others blinked.

    spoiler alert: the eighth tower

    as keel summarizes his unified theory he mentions the big (for the time) sci-fi film,
    forbidden planet, as accurately dealing with origins of the things that go bump in the night. (or forest : )

    morbeus experiences a slight taste of a higher, ancient power.

    the krell are the ultras.

    be sure your hubby doesn't spoil it for you, tribe.
    you've got to read it first-hand.
    second-hand is cheating

    ok, this is for all we new found keeleans. (an adjunct to order of the fortean : )

    linda moulton howe investigates a super case of ultra high strangeness, 2006.

    as we listen, have fun applying keel's theory to what this boy experienced.
    from outer space or somewhere much closer?

    asked if they came from someplace in outspace, the witness said,
    'I don't know where they came from.'

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLVDB1Gd2ow
    (so dense, it's worth two listens)
