Good books about unexplained phenomena : Response By: outlier

I came in here to recommend Fortean Times – it has a great "accept everything, believe nothing" approach. But there’s only so much weird stuff out there, so the monthly can be a bit content-lite sometimes… maybe there’s a Best Of collection?

FT used to issue compendiums but gave up as it was too expensive. They still have older ones for sale on their website and are now doing computer versions I think.

Having just been beaten to it, I’ll second Mike Dash’s Borderlands. He used to be one of the FT crew and so has a good grip on the whole universe of anomalies. One of the FT editors is also responsible for The Rough Guide to Unexplained Phenomena (John Michell and Robert Rickard), which has a good and wide (if necessarily thin) coverage of forteana.

Two other good but more specific books are by Jim Schnabel: Round in Circles and Dark White about crop circles and ufo abductions. Both well written and even-handed up until the final verdicts.
