When you've been reading an old @forteantimes times publication on #poltergeists after watching @revpeterlaws also talking about poltergeists & you pop to your kitchen to find two cupboard wide doors open 😱😱 Down to me, not #paranormal; I'd been looking for something earlier!

A Fortean challenge for urban dwellers: Can you capture a vaping squirrel on camera? 😮 The @forteantimes suggests they have been seen in Brixton, London and they might be drawn to the fruity flavours. 🐿⚡️🚬

Getting in the hallowed @forteantimes once is a thrill but two months running is beyond great! Thanks to literary colossus Cathi Unsworth for putting the record straight in the new issue. My day is made.

WEST COUNTRY TALES: MISS CONSTANTINE (1982) Lovely, creepy anthology from BBC South West. Each episode was based on real-life stories sent in by viewers, like a dramatised version of @forteantimes 'It Happened To Me' pages. Here, a dear old lady is plagued by ghostly intruders...

I've been obsessed by Enigmarelle since I read about him in Jan Bondeson's @forteantimes column. He was a fake humanoid automaton, he was exhibited as a scientific and technical curiosity around 1905 in the US and Europe. He could write his name, cycle, and other things!
