The Book of the Damned

"The Book of the Damned" by Charles Fort is a nonfiction work published in 1919. Fort catalogs anomalous phenomena that mainstream science has excluded or "damned"—including UFO sightings, mysterious falls of fish and frogs from the sky, evidence of giants and fairies, poltergeist activity, and unexplained disappearances. Charging scientists with conformity and closed-mindedness, Fort presents these strange occurrences without firm explanations, inviting readers to question accepted scientific authority and draw their own conclusions about reality's unexplained mysteries.
