Fortean Pillows
Description: the famous "Rain of Crosses" (Kreuzregen) miracle of 1503. In the early 1500s (most notably around 1501–1503), numerous supernatural events known as Kreuzwunder (cross miracles) were recorded across German-speaking territories and the Netherlands. People reported that a mysterious rain left crimson, cross-shaped stains on clothing, textiles, and human skin.
Description: Wild Talents captures Charles Fort at his finest, most thought-provoking, and is considered his wittiest work. Containing accounts of--among numerous other bizarre topics--strange coincidences, vampires, werewolves, talking dogs, poltergeist activity, teleportation, witchcraft, vanishing people, spontaneous human combustion, and the escapades of the 'mad bats of Trinidad.' This is essential reading for those who want to learn about the early years of research into the myriad mysteries of this world and beyond.
Description: Fields like UAP studies and anomalistics demand an unusual kind of intellectual discipline—almost a monastic one. The researcher isn’t just contending with difficult data, but with powerful psychological and social temptations: belief, meaning, attention, and recognition. When working near what George Hansen, author of Trickster and the Paranormal, calls the “enchanted boundary,” guarding against premature certainty, narrative momentum, and the lure of visibility becomes part of the scientific task itself. In these domains especially, restraint, patience, and a willingness to let claims die quietly if the data demands it aren’t weaknesses...they’re prerequisites. Beware the Enchanted Boundary!

Description: “Almost all people of all eras are hypnotics. Their beliefs are induced beliefs. The proper authority saw to it that the proper belief should be induced, and the people believed properly.” ― Charles Fort, Wild Talents (1932)
