About this ebook
This fascinating chronicle of unexplained phenomena is a foundational work of paranormal science
In the early passages of The Book of the Damned, Charles Fort explains: “by the damned, I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of data that Science has excluded.” Drawing upon countless articles, newspaper clippings, and arcane books, Fort assembles hundreds of real-life tales of the bizarre—from unidentified flying objects falling from the sky to the disappearance of several hundred people during the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 to rumors of poltergeists.
Rendered in the unique style that established Fort as a legend in the world of the paranormal, The Book of the Damned is an underground classic.

About the author
Charles Fort (1874–1932) was an American researcher and writer known for his publications on anomalies, the paranormal, and the occult. An early proponent of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, he was one of the first journalists to write regularly and authoritatively about alien abduction, out-of-place artifacts, and UFOs. Over time, these unexplained events have been termed “Fortean” phenomena. The founding members of the Fortean Society include Theodore Dreiser, H. L. Mencken, and Booth Tarkington, among other literary luminaries.
