Katie Brewin -The Paranormal World of Paul McKenna (Carlton, 1996) Introduction
UFOs Ghosts Healing Psychic Detectives Telepathy Superhumans Psychokinesis (PK)
Last Word/ Illustrations Sources of Further Information Further Reading A slick 64-page glossy pamphlet, produced to accompany the seven-part ITV series of same name, available direct from the companies London PO Box for the price of a large SAE with 57p stamp. So, not a magazine freebie but its heart is in the right place. Have a foggy recollection of some Evangelist or other taking umbrage to the show but that may be a case of false memory syndrome.

Slim pickings at this morning's market - just a copy of the Jackie 1982 annual, and this cracking mag freebie of yesteryear - how many times has The Unexplained collection been recycled? Free with the launch issue of Unsolved magazine in 1984. Came in a 'dossier' which also contained issue 2. All for 80p. The Alien World is a compilation of UFO related articles from the still popular part-work. 'The Ripperstone Farm Riddle'; "A giant, faceless humanoid, the strange teleportation of cattle, and a car-chasing UFO - just some of the many phenomena allegedly experienced by the Coombs family at Ripperton Farm. But how much of what was reported actually took place?"; 'The Men in Black' ("Dave Tansley, a UFO theorist ... has suggested MIBs are some kind of demonic psychic energy"); the Welsh Triangle; Creatures from Inner space. Colourful illustrations and authentic/"authentic" UFO photo's are a plus.

With thanks to whoever donated this to the Little Free Library Urban Fox box in Wapping. Carl Wilkinson [ed.] - The Observer Book of Scandal (2007) Unforgivably devoid of Black Magic and Witchcraft content — The Observer is no Sunday People or News of the World, that's for sure — otherwise this 112 page booklet delivers on its remit to provide a concise history of disreputable behaviour by public figures from the late nineteenth century through to the present. Includes "Duchess of Argyll and the Headless Man," the disappearance of Lord Lucan, the Jeremy Thorpe murder trial, the fake suicide of John Stonehouse, the "suspicious" death of Dr. David Kelly, Watergate, Profumo, clothing that caused a scandal (David Mellor's very alleged kinky sex in a Chelsea F.C. kit, OJ Simpson's gloves of death, Monica Lewinsky's messy dress), top six outrageous outfits worn to Court, footballs Scandal XI (as ever, other sports get off lightly), cash for honours (never falls out of fashion), cash for questions (ditto), and so on and so on and so on. Sadly, arrived too soon for Piggate. Particularly horrible contributors include the supernaturally loathsome Kelvin McKenzie, and, grim irony of ironies, Max Clifford. Ends, appropriately enough, on a glib quote from B. Johnson following his sacking as editor of The Spectator over an extramarital affair: "My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters."

This book gives Fortean Times readers the inside track on the latest research, investigations, and innovations in the perplexing world of strange phenomena 96 page booklet given away free with Fortean Times #121, April 1999, as "our first tangible souvenir of the [annual] Unconvention." Booklet Cover by Hunt EmersonTed Harrison - Pre-millennial tension: As year 2000 looms, the death cult prophets ecstatically welcome Armageddon, the Millenium Bug, and/ or the second coming of the Messiah, Elvis Presley. "This is not the first time the world has experienced a widespread anxiety of this type. It is said that around 1000AD there was a similar upswell of worry, although many historians doubt the claims. What is undeniable is that in the late 1950s and the early 1960s, there was the mass conviction that the world was about to come to an end from nuclear war. Today's PMT is a condition which in many ways resembles CWF (or Cold War Fever), the only difference being that PMT is less focussed. In 1999, we have a smorgasbord of nightmare scenarios from which to choose. Some are cosmic, some environmental and some divinely judgemental. For those who prefer not to be stampeded into panic, or whose religious faith suggests to them that the second coming will come unheralded, there is a real concern as to what happens afterwards. When 2002 dawns and we are still all here and all the computers are working normally, there will be many people suffering from acute ACS (anti-climax syndrome) needing some very specialist TLC (tender loving care) to help them get over the shock that nothing happened!" Tony Healy - Poltergeists down under: A stone-throwing Victorian menace in a New South Wales farmhouse; the Gurya Ghost and wandering poltergeist 'Uncle Bobby' who, over a forty-year period, allegedly hitch-hiked across much of South West Australia. Tony Healy - Mystery animals of Australia: Author admits to being a traditionalist where cryptozoology is concerned. He's primarily interested in the big five - the Thylacine, the Queensland marsupial tiger, the Yowie, the Bunyip and alien big cats - and regularly ventures into the Bush, camera at the ready. Jan Bondeson - Vegetable lambs, faked mermaids & others: The mermaid apprehended by customs officers on the Isle of Dogs; the 'bloody and violent' death of a plant-animal hybrid of Tartary; the Basilisk; myth or marvel? Andy Roberts - At the mountain of madness: A Welsh Roswell. Did an extraterrestrial UFO crash in the Berwyn Mountains in January 1974? Daniel Wojcik - Modern millennial beliefs: Conflicting end time scenarios of the various Millennial Doomsday cults. Tony Healy - Fetch the holy water, Maude - it's a yowie!: Close-ish encounters with Australia's Sasquash, a screaming, stinking, snuff-coloured Yeti, sightings of whom have been known to coincide with an outbreak of poltergeist activity. Daniel Wojcik - From spirit photographs to apocalyptic Polaroids: Paranormal photography. Ghouls on film, marvels caught on camera. Are they the real deal or mere primitive precursors of the Photoshop fail?

Al Hartley, There's A New World Coming, 1973 Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince - Masters of the millennium: Ancient Gods, alt-Egyptology, the Stargate conspiracy and End Times obsessives. Is our world ruled by Sirius-based space-beings? The authors doubt it. Lionel Fanthorpe - The world's most mysterious people: "What must it have felt like to be a genius, a giant, a dwarf, or someone unusual enough to be exhibited in Barnum and Bailey's Freak Show a century ago? What must it be like to have Beethoven's powers over music, or Hawking's mastery of mathematics and physics? To be able to paint like Poussin or da Vinci?" The ever jolly Reverend promotes his recently published book of the same name celebrating persons remarkable, eccentric, brilliant, inspirational. Philip Walton - ASSAP: Investigating all things mysterious with the Association for Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena. Hauntings a speciality. Richard Wiseman - The mind machine: Does ESP exist? An ambitious countrywide examination of psychic ability.
