… Charles Fort:
Charles Fort (1874.1932) remains a titan of fringe science, renowned for his systematic cataloging of anomalies that defied 20th-century explanations. A self-taught researcher from Albany, New York, Fort spent decades amassing newspaper clippings and scientific reports on events mainstream institutions ignored from spontaneous rains of fish to unexplained aerial lights.
His works, including « The Book of the Damned » and « New Lands », established Forteanism, a movement merging radical skepticism with poetic speculation. Though often dismissed by academics, Forts ideas influenced writers like H.P. Lovecraft and Jorge Luis Borges, while his critiques of scientific dogma resonate in modern debates about epistemology.
The annual Fortean Times and organizations like the International Fortean Organization (INFO) perpetuate his legacy, exploring phenomena at the intersection of science, myth, and the unexplained.
