30 Slender Man: From Viral to Postal (Cover Story)
How did two 12-year-old girls from Wisconsin come to carry out a brutal attempted murder to please a fictional Internet Monster? Ian 'Cat' Vincent probes the online origins of Slender Man and asks what the spread of this faceless meme tells us about the nature of contemporary belief.
38 Mirage Men
Is the history of UFOs one of a long campaign of deliberate disinformation? Were saucer scares intended to disguise the machinations of the government? Or to obscure what that government knew about UFOs? Roland Denning attempts to throw some new light on these questions.
42 British Voodoo: Part Two
Rollo Ahmed practised black magic, taught Dennis Wheatley yoga, helped Aleister Crowley find a flat and wrote a history of magic. Christopher Josiffe concludes his profile of a forgotten figure of British occultism.
