The Fortean Files (The Thinkers, #2)

The Man Who Questioned Everything—And Changed the Way We See Reality
What if the world isn't what we think it is? What if history, science, and even reality itself are being manipulated by forces we don't understand?
For over a century, Charles Fort has been the underground prophet of the unexplained, challenging conventional knowledge and forcing us to reconsider the boundaries of reality. His relentless documentation of UFOs before they were called UFOs, strange disappearances, time slips, spontaneous human combustion, poltergeist activity, cryptids, and bizarre natural phenomena shaped the modern study of the unknown. His writings have influenced everything from science fiction and horror to quantum physics and conspiracy theories.
Now, for the first time, this book presents the definitive exploration of Charles Fort's work and its lasting impact on our understanding of the paranormal, the unexplained, and the limits of human perception.
