Fortean Times- paranormal fun!

by LoopGaroo , Nov 27 '99
Pros: Bizarre subject matter, Smooth writing style, Humor, and plenty of useless information
Cons: accessibility outside the UK
No, not "Fourteen" Times. "Fortean Times"- it refers to Charles Fort, a turn-of-the-century researcher who applied scientific technique to strange and unusual phenomena. And "Fortean Times" runs the gambit. Just a few of its...

Amusing Magazine

by Chloe , Dec 06 '99
Pros: Funny, entertaining, amusing, small amount of ads, nice look
Cons: Sometimes fails at being objective
Fortean Times is my favorite magazine. If you are amused by strange phenomena like UFO sitings, unusual births, or world oddities, this magazine is for you. It tries to be objective and present both sides of an issue, discussing why the reader should...

The Journal of Weird Phenomena!

by psychocy , May 15 '01
Pros: Well-written articles, interesting photos and illustrations, highly unique magazine.
Cons: Sometimes hard to find on US news-stands.
The Fortean Times is the ultimate guide to wierd phenomena. Filled with absorbing articles on recent strange occurrences, the FT never fails to satisfy your appetite for the unusual. The articles are, for the most part, written objectively, which is where ...

Satisfying

by ccoggins , Dec 12 '99
Pros: Satisfies the holes left when Omni went digital.
Cons: The only thing negative to say is that it's printed on paper (which depletes natural resources).
I lived at their website for 2 years and decided this periodical needs to be easily accessible in the rest of the house to read and re-read until the next issue arrives. The content encourages you to engage in free thought and provides enough information...

Apocalypse A Go Go

by uglyamerican , Jun 02 '00
Pros: Aliens, Poltergeists, Satanists & Sarcasm
Cons: The occasional naive new age idiot writer
Fortean Times is the magazine for anyone who's ever wondered just how weird this world is. A British import, it shares that country's taste for applied eccentricity, and combines it with a worldview of interested skepticism. FT tries to believe in...

Loving the Peculiar...

by stonemirror , Jun 30 '01
Pros: The best source for non-credulous treatment of extremely weird stuff around
Cons: Wish each issue were thicker, or it came out more frequently...
Fortean Times is to magazines like Fate like the New York Times is to the Weekly World News: it treats its subject matter seriously, yet skeptically. The subject matter is, generally speaking, the sort of thing that raises...

World of Strange Phenomena

by dhricenak , Apr 11 '03
Pros: Diverse subjects,Balanced Viewpoints,Humor
Cons: U.S distribution months behind
Fortean Times is unique. So unique that the few stores that carry don't really know where to shelve it. If you're lucky enough to find it at all it may be with New Age, science, or alternate lifestyle magazines. It is all of these and yet not...

Addicting!

by RedSlurpee , Jul 21 '00
Pros: Interesting content!
Cons: UK-based
I am three issues into my newfound Fortean Times addiction. I love the weird news tidbits that it covers, & I also love the more in-depth feature articles. I think a big part of my enjoyment of this magazine is the tone of the writing, which is more...

humor and people in high places

by johnel , Dec 25 '99
Pros: Good value for money.
Cons: A little expensive for some folks.
This magazine is quite upbeat,but with a wicked sense of humor.It does not worry about who it berates,but can do it in a distinctly subtle way,so that it appears to be meant for the intellectuals in the community.Talking about the community,some of the...
