Inexpensive print/digital subscriptions are available, so I see, for anybody who just has to read all the details. They're even having a January sale.

Charlotte Potter [ed.], Take A Break: Fate & Fortune (April , 2021). Not quite as blown away by the latest issue as I was its immediate predecessors, which is not to suggest it is anything other than essential Vault Occult Library material. This month's 'Notoriously Haunted' investigates the Mill Street Barracks, Merseyside, whose resident ghosts include a woman-hating officer, a benign nurse, and a phantom chorus of Oranges and Lemons sung by multiple child TB sufferers who didn't make it. Reader Jenny Cooper, 35, shares her terrifying experience of a ghost who she has reason to suspect may be 'Mr. Nobody,' the spiteful Pontefract poltergeist, back from the beyond after a lengthy suspension of activity and relocated to Crewe. Ex-cop and psychic Nicky Alan asks the big one: Was William Shakespeare Elizabeth I? Also; things to do on Walpurgis night; diet as you cast tarot; haunted pub investigations of the Retford Ghost Hunters - the phantom monk of 'the Newcastle Arms' caught on camera at last! Texas, the psychic horse shares more news from pet heaven, plus the usual advice from witches, fairy experts, pendulum danglers and women with a hot line to the angels.

Was Shakespeare a fake? I guess it all depends on what exactly he was claiming to be. If the answer is a Rastafarian neurosurgeon then I'll accept that there are legitimate grounds for dubiousness. But if its something as prosaic as, say, Tudor Age hack and ex-poacher then I see no reason to doubt him. But as for being Elizabeth l: I would presume it would be easier for Elizabeth l to pass herself as Shakespeare rather than the other way round.

Charlotte Potter [ed.], Take A Break: Fate & Fortune (May, 2021) "You don't have to be dead to work here - but it helps!' How, in March 2017, reader Shelley Mayes, 53, satisfied a long-held ambition in opening Flange and Prong (a "witches shop"), in Horncastle, Lincs, only to discover - what are the chances? - the premises are haunted! This issue's Most feared phantom is Sir George 'Bluddie' MacKenzie, hyperactive poltergeist of Greyfriars Kirkyard, and subject of Jan-Andrew Henderson's The Ghost Who Haunted Himself. Nicky Allen, ex-cop turned psychic, reexamines the 'Penge Murders' files. Reader Anna Williams, 22, who confesses to playing with Ouija boards during a "a bit of a Goth" phase, reveals that she is now haunted by the nan who warned her "Don't dabble, leave the afterlife alone." Oh, Anna. If only you'd listened! A fellow summoner of spirits, Jimmy Devlin, 49, relates how as a nine-year-old, he received a smacker from a spectre, the first step on the path to his becoming a paranormal investigator. Should all this exploring the most dangerous forces known to man prove too much, help is at hand via, among others, Dean James Fox (the "TV Psychic and Spiritual Love Guide" supplies "advice on soul mates and sex"), Rachel "The Witch that makes you Rich" Patterson, Texas the Psychic Horse, and Jacky Newcombe, who communes with Angels.

Amanda Vlietstra [ed] - Chat - It's Fate #6 (June 2021) Turns out my undying devotion to Take A Break survived only as long as it took for an issue of Chat - It's Fate to find its way onto the Sainsbury's mag. shelves. While both publications share much in common, Chat edges it for this reader for it's proliferation a good old-fashioned trad haunting alongside the modern day investigations, as opposed to Take A Break - Fate & Fortune's's bias toward duck-pouting psychics in mild peril. Selected high and lowlights of the June offering - depending on individual, reader should imagine these are interchangeable - include; The Terrifying Ten Part 2. Stand-up Comedian and paranormal researcher Barry Dodd's concludes his countdown of Britain's deadliest haunted locations. A Ghost trapped in a wall. What happened when Andrew James, 27, professional psychic medium, and friends Cole and Emma investigated an abandoned Yorkshire farmhouse. Title is a bit of a cheat this as, despite the resident ghost dropping the heaviest hints that his or her bones are concealed behind a wall-cupboard, the trio have yet to attempt their recovery. My alien friends operated on me and now I’m psychic; How abductee Sarah Johnson, 39, developed paranormal abilities following a "medical procedure" performed aboard a spaceship. Only slightly less dramatic, psychic Angela Mackenzie, 41, encounters the Green Lady of Tulloch Castle, who takes to tapping on the window during the night. Hair-raising Heirlooms include the Busby Stoop chair, the Hope Diamond, a cursed fertility statue, a casket of doom, and a haunted painting. The Mystery of the Month slot examines the curse of Tutankhamun. No shortage of experts. We meet Jade Shaw, 36, of Leeds, who runs Astral Projection Workshops for those eager to accomplish the perfect OOBE. Says here that Anna worked as consultant on the set of Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes, so she obviously knows what she's talking about. Rio de Lune, dream analyst, advises what to do should you encounter Black Shuck. Then there's Jemima Packington, 65, from Bath, self-styled 'world's only asparamancer,' who foretold Megan and Harry abdicating from Royal Duties and Donald Trump's second impeachment by utlising the power of an earthy vegetable. Says here that Jemima has appeared on Big Brother's Bit on the Side. And the current Take A Break - Fate & Fortune? Perhaps we'll get around to it at a later date.
