Features

28 The Fat Boy of Peckham (cover story)
As an epidemic of childhood obesity sweeps the developed world, Jan Bondeson explores a vanished age in which corpulent youngsters were treated neither as villains nor victims but celebrated as prodigies in the music halls and sideshows. Meet Johnny Trunley and his rotund rivals...

36 Dali and the Overweight Ghosts
SD Tucker explores an alarming outbreak of morbid obesity amongst 1930s ghosts, and finds Salvador Dali's bizarre explanations involving Adolf Hitler's fat back and Napoleon's edible trousers rather hard to stomach.

40 The Black Ball
In 1975 an enigmatic object was found in Ukraine - the so-called Black Ball. The late Vladimir Rubtsov wondered whether this enigma wrapped in a mystery might be the long-hoped for "indubitable extraterrestrial artefact".

44 The Ghost Hunter's Daughter
As an all-female remake of Ghostbusters is announced, Tea Krulos catches up with Alexandra Holzer, daughter of the man who helped inspire the original movie, to talk about discovering that your father was the most famous ghost hunter in America and honouring his legacy today.
