Retro-Forteana: Camelot, maybe
http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2015/05/camelot-maybe.html
Andrew May's Forteana Blog, focusing on the weirder fringes of history (and other old-fashioned stuff). Sunday, 3 May 2015. Hill-forts are among the most impressive pre-Roman structures to be found in Britain. They are particularly common in southern England, as Paul Jackson described in his blog post A Handful of Hill Forts. In 1533, a man named John Leland was given a commission by King Henry VIII “to make a search after England’s Antiquities”. This assignment took him to all corn...Now King Arthur is ...

Retro-Forteana: Finnegans Wake
http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2015/07/finnegans-wake.html
Andrew May's Forteana Blog, focusing on the weirder fringes of history (and other old-fashioned stuff). Sunday, 5 July 2015. A few days ago I came across a Twitter account called Finnegans Wake. And started following it. As far as I can tell, it’s tweeting the entire novel (written by the Irish author James Joyce between 1923 and 1939) a few words at a time. In an earlier post ( Literary name-dropping. I mentioned that “I did go through a phase circa 1975 of trying very hard to read Finnegans Wake. P P Q...

Beyond The Wychelm: Things To Come (1976)
http://beyondthewychelm.blogspot.com/2013/05/things-to-come-1976.html
Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Things To Come (1976). Here are a couple of goofy promo photos for a 1976 sci-fi/sexploitation film that I recently found in Austin. It looks so low-budget it almost hurts. Magus Film Group was a San Antonio, Texas outfit (more info about Magus at Temple of Schlock. I dig the font, at the very least. Here's the color poster, via Wrong Side of the Art. And an advertisement, care of Temple of Schlock. Which gives a clearer indication as to what the film is actually about):. Galt Wood...

Retro-Forteana: Fake News and Lazy Journalism

Andrew May's Forteana Blog, focusing on the weirder fringes of history (and other old-fashioned stuff). Sunday, 17 May 2015. Fake News and Lazy Journalism. Earlier this year I wrote about the huge upsurge in Fake News Stories. Circulating on social media. The Snopes website is very good at identifying and debunking these stories, and a few days ago they had an interesting article on Fake News Sites to Avoid Sharing. 8220;REVEALED: Images of Roswell ALIEN found in wreckage of crashed UFO almost 70 years a...

Retro-Forteana: A Fortean Episode of Columbo
http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-fortean-episode-of-columbo.html
Andrew May's Forteana Blog, focusing on the weirder fringes of history (and other old-fashioned stuff). Sunday, 7 June 2015. A Fortean Episode of Columbo. There are two types of 1970s nostalgia: the kind you remember if you were around at the time, and the kind everyone remembers – even people who weren’t born yet. Most of the “TV heroes” featured in the one-shot magazine pictured above (undated, but I would guess 1974 or 1975) fall in the first category, but Columbo. Titles (together with Banacek. Episo...

Retro-Forteana: The Lusitania Conspiracy
http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-lusitania-conspiracy.html
Andrew May's Forteana Blog, focusing on the weirder fringes of history (and other old-fashioned stuff). Sunday, 10 May 2015. From a quick glance at the cover of my book Conspiracy History. A close-up of which is shown above) you might think it includes a section about the sinking of RMS Titanic. In 1912. Actually it doesn’t – although it might have done, since there is no shortage of conspiracy theories associated with that event. But the ship shown on the cover is not the Titanic. Were prey to German U-...

Retro-Forteana: Who Remembers Guru?
http://forteana-blog.blogspot.com/2015/08/who-remembers-guru.html
Andrew May's Forteana Blog, focusing on the weirder fringes of history (and other old-fashioned stuff). Sunday, 2 August 2015. I’m sure that everyone who reads Fortean Times. Will be aware of Hunt Emerson’s perennial Phenomenonix. The strip ran from 1991 to 1997. The example pictured above (just a single panel, as was often the case) comes from FT95, cover-dated February 1997. I just discovered that all (or most) of the Guru strips are now online at the Guru Files. Http:/ twoheadedthingies.blogspot&#...
