A Fortean challenge for urban dwellers: Can you capture a vaping squirrel on camera? 😮
The @forteantimes suggests they have been seen in Brixton, London and they might be drawn to the fruity flavours. 🐿⚡️🚬
Getting in the hallowed @forteantimes once is a thrill but two months running is beyond great! Thanks to literary colossus Cathi Unsworth for putting the record straight in the new issue. My day is made.

Sad to hear of the death of Paul Screeton, a friend and exchangee of ours since the early days of MUFOB. His 'Folklore Frontiers' was a collection of urban legend, earth mysteries, folklore, forteana and railways. Here's a piece he wrote for us in 1976:

WEST COUNTRY TALES: MISS CONSTANTINE (1982) Lovely, creepy anthology from BBC South West. Each episode was based on real-life stories sent in by viewers, like a dramatised version of @forteantimes 'It Happened To Me' pages. Here, a dear old lady is plagued by ghostly intruders...
I've been obsessed by Enigmarelle since I read about him in Jan Bondeson's @forteantimes column.
He was a fake humanoid automaton, he was exhibited as a scientific and technical curiosity around 1905 in the US and Europe. He could write his name, cycle, and other things!
I found Alan Murdie's article on Dr Clay 's ghostly encounters; utterly fascinating, in the latest @forteantimes. 👻
I've re-read it three times!
This issue is a wonder. 📚
