Features

34 Hell on Wheels (cover story)
Outlaw motorcycle clubs have often employed Satanic iconography to terrify mainstream society. Steve Toase explores how films and fiction have exploited these links between biker culture and the occult over the years to produce some cult classics.

42 Uneasy Riders
Rob Gandy investigates some unusual cases in which motorcyclists have encountered road ghosts and phantom hitchhikers in the liminal zone between hauntings and urban legends.

48 The Occult World of Patrick McGoohan
Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner is as relevant now as it was 50 years ago says Brian J Robb. Packed with allusions to the Illuminati, the police state, brainwashing, and hidden influences on society, it is a text that is still being unpacked five decades on.
