Features

34 Ghosts of the American South (cover story)
The Old South was filled with folk beliefs and superstitions but in a society formed by the institution of slavery, ghosts were just as often a means of repression and social control. Jacob Middleton explores a forgotten world of haunted plantation and terrifying Night Riders...

40 I Sing the Mind Electric
Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs investigates esoteric and electromagnetic explanations for near-death experiences.

44 The Naked Truth
When he stumbled upon a mysterious engraving of a hairless hyene that matched no living specied known to science, Karl Shuker was intrigued; but did it show a vanished species, a genetic freak or just a mangy specimen? And how might it relate to other weird hairless creatures in the cryptozoological annals?
