Features

28 Fortfoolery: Forteana and April Fools Hoaxes (cover story)
While gathering in this year's spaghetti harvest, Rob Gandy was struck by the fact that a significant number of April Fool pranks over the decades have featured fortean themes - from fake UFOs to cryptozoological creatures - in their attempts to put one over on the public...

34 The Corpse Factory
'Fake News' is nothing new and false stories were widely spread by propagandists during World War I. David Clarke investigates a gruesome rumour of factories for converting human corpses into fat and oil that has been called the "most appalling atrocity story" of the 1914-18 conflict.

40 Faking Forteana
Manufactured and misleading news predates the Internet age. Its roots go back in part to the 1920s, and a forgotten journalistic revolution improbably conceived by 'the father of modern bodybuilding' and a socialist muckraker. Mike Dash dons his fedora to report.

46 Searching for the Place of the Skull
As pilgrims descend on the Holy Land to celebrate Easter, Ted Harrison proffers a word of caution: if you're looking for the location of Jesus's crucifixion and burial then, tradition aside, you need to investigate a growing list of competing sites. Just where exactly was Golgotha?
