Lo! by Charles Fort

Description

Lo! is a book by Charles Fort, first published in 1931. In this compelling work Fort gathers hundreds of reports of strange and anomalous phenomena — from mysterious astronomical observations to unexplained falls, disappearances, and reports that sit outside conventional scientific explanation. Written in his characteristic polemical style, the book pushes readers to question scientific certainty and invites curiosity about UFO sightings, teleportation reports and other uncanny incidents that form the backbone of Fortean literature. Fort’s attitude is both combative and inquisitive: he ridicules easy dismissals, pokes at the assumptions of orthodox science, and sometimes offers wild alternative conjectures (including a speculative cosmology in its closing chapter). The book’s skeptical, provocative voice helped to shape later interest in anomalistics, cryptozoology and the paranormal, and it remains a touchstone for anyone exploring unexplained phenomena, Fortean studies or the history of fringe science.
