Features

34 Scared to Death (Cover Story)
Were supernatural forces at work in Yorkshire in 1855 - with fatal consequences? David Clarke unearths the story of a Sheffield woman who died "from fright" following an encounter with a ghost. Was this truly a case of death by supernatural causes?

40 The Subs of Loch Ness
Jeffrey Vallance stirs the murky waters of Loch Ness as he dredges up the strange, submarine history of the lake's mechanical inhabitants.

44 They Came From Hollywood
Peter Hassall concludes his trip through the weirdest byways of cinema history, looking for feature films in which genuinely anomalous phenomena such as UFOs, ghosts or monsters have allegedly been caught by accident on film.
