Description
Charles Fort believed that no matter how honest scientists think they are, they are still influenced by various unconscious assumptions that prevent them from attaining true objectivity. In this book Fort tackles a great number of unexplained paranormal occurrences from a fresh and unbiased point of view. His writing is complex, violent and poetic, satirical and subtle, and profound. Long before the X-Files popularized the idea of objectively investigating paranormal events, Fort was show more investigating these happenings and chronicling his findings. show lessTags

- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The seismologists, too, have functioned in preserving the illusion of this earth's isolation, and by super-embryonic processes have been hypnotized into oblivion of a secret that has been proclaimed with avalanches of fire from the heavens, and that has babbled from books of the blood of crushed populations, and that is monumentalized in ruins.
