His early admirers formed the Fortean Society during his lifetime, in 1931, to elevate his work. Since that time, Fort's name has been synonymous with the strange, in large part due to the \u003ci\u003eFortean Times\u003c\/i\u003e, published since 1973.\u003cbr\u003eWhile Fort has received sustained attention over the years, \u003ci\u003eResearch\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to delve into his methodology and source material for his investigations into paranormal phenomena. In addition to Fort's famously small notes that are extensively reproduced here for the first time, the book includes Fort's remarkable letters soliciting information on a wide variety of inexplicable phenomena that appeared in newspapers worldwide, as well as the responses he received. From frogs falling from the sky to sea monsters who inhabit our oceans, it is all here in his inimitable style, along with an appreciation by acclaimed experimental filmmaker and self-proclaimed Fortean Peggy Ahwesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Fort\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0997645695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997645699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Burgin\/Further Reading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Charles Fort","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089470042367,"sku":"9780997645699","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e7ea410-02d1-4a98-a277-3b2ef26c717e.jpg?v=1769110453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charles-fort-charles-fort-9780997645699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
