Amusing Magazine

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 1999
Review: Fortean Times is my favorite magazine. If you are amused by strange phenomena like UFO sitings, unusual births, or world oddities, this magazine is for you. It tries to be objective and present both sides of an issue, discussing why the reader...

Satisfying

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 1999
Review: I lived at their website for 2 years and decided this periodical needs to be easily accessible in the rest of the house to read and re-read until the next issue arrives. The content encourages you to engage in free thought and provides enough...

Fortean Times- paranormal fun!

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 1999
Review: No, not "Fourteen" Times. "Fortean Times"- it refers to Charles Fort, a turn-of-the-century researcher who applied scientific technique to strange and unusual phenomena. And "Fortean Times" runs the gambit. Just a few of its topics- UFOs,...

World of Strange Phenomena

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Probably the strangest publication on the stands today. And I mean that as a compliment.
Review: Fortean Times is unique. So unique that the few stores that carry don't really know where to shelve it. If you're lucky enough to find it at all it may be with New Age, science, or alternate lifestyle magazines. It is all of these and yet not really...

Apocalypse A Go Go

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2000
Review: Fortean Times is the magazine for anyone who's ever wondered just how weird this world is. A British import, it shares that country's taste for applied eccentricity, and combines it with a worldview of interested skepticism. FT tries to believe in...

Addicting!

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2000
Review: I am three issues into my newfound Fortean Times addiction. I love the weird news tidbits that it covers, & I also love the more in-depth feature articles. I think a big part of my enjoyment of this magazine is the tone of the writing, which is more...

Loving the Peculiar...

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of peculiar occurrences and the generally weird, Fortean Times is for you.
Review: Fortean Times is to magazines like Fate like the New York Times is to the Weekly World News: it treats its subject matter seriously, yet skeptically. The subject matter is, generally speaking, the sort of thing that raises eyebrows among that...

The Journal of Weird Phenomena!

Date of Review:  May 15, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you are lucky enough to have a local bookstore or magazine shop that carries Fortean Times, do yourself a favor and pick it up today!
Review: The Fortean Times is the ultimate guide to wierd phenomena. Filled with absorbing articles on recent strange occurrences, the FT never fails to satisfy your appetite for the unusual. The articles are, for the most part, written objectively, which is...

humor and people in high places

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 1999
Review: This magazine is quite upbeat,but with a wicked sense of humor.It does not worry about who it berates,but can do it in a distinctly subtle way,so that it appears to be meant for the intellectuals in the community.Talking about the community,some of...
