The Strange and the Unknown
Fate Magazine
Paperback Library, 1965
I grew up devouring unexplained phenomena books from the 60s to 80s - not particularly believing it but wishing it was true, and at least entertained by the reading. These tales are so dull they probably are true.
We open up with a defensive screed against mainstream science, the corrupt industry that famously makes billions of dollars by not ever discovering anything new.
A book falls off a shelf. Is it a poltergeist or a banshee?
A man dreams about something other than his wife. Weeks later he dies. Explain that, science!
I've become considerably less tolerant of pseudo-science since I stopped being an idiot child, but there's not even enough here to bother scoffing at.
