30 The Dyatlov Pass Incident (Cover Story)
Fifty years ago this February, nine young Russian skiers set out on a doomed expedition to the Ural Mountains that ended in their mysterious deaths due to "an unknown force". Svetlund Osadchuk and Kevin O'Flynn investigate a chilling case that remains unsolved.

38 Night People
In the 18th and 19th centuries, sleepwalkers often seemed to possess supernatural or visionary powers and were seen as but a short step away from the spirit world. Antonio Melechi looks back to the golden age of somnambulism.

46 The Gabriel Feather
A footnote in a 19th-century reference book prompted Dr Karl Shuker to begin an investigation into a hitherto obscure but fascinating subject: an elusive holy relic said to be a feather from the wing of the Archangel Gabriel...
