    About this ebook

    There are many books that tell of sightings of ghosts, aliens, and strange animals. But Charles Fort's "New Lands" is perhaps the only book in which whole continents, geographies, and, indeed, planetary systems themselves are seen in the same uncertain twilight of perception.

    Charles Fort

    Charles Fort (1874–1932) was an American researcher and writer known for his publications on anomalies, the paranormal, and the occult. An early proponent of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, he was one of the first journalists to write regularly and authoritatively about alien abduction, out-of-place artifacts, and UFOs. Over time, these unexplained events have been termed “Fortean” phenomena. The founding members of the Fortean Society include Theodore Dreiser, H. L. Mencken, and Booth Tarkington, among other literary luminaries.
