Features

28 Jewelled Skeletons (cover story)
Long before Damien Hirst, skeletal bling was all the rage across 16th-century Catholic Europe. Paul Koudounaris discovers an amazing golden age of mediumistic clerics and dodgy relics...

32 Television's Trickster
Comedian Andy Kaufman was ahead of his time in challenging audiences with his uncomfortable routines. Brian J Robb asks whether Kaufman was a modern embodiment of the mythical Trickster figure.

36 Holy Waters
Folklore about the curative powers of holy springs and healing waters can be found all over the world, while many of Europe's holy wells still draw pilgrims today. Are they survivals of an ancient tradition or a modern-day, invented one to plug a spiritual gap? Ted Harrison investigates.

42 You've Been Trunkoed!
Dr Karl Shuker solves a long-running cryptozoological puzzle, identifying a white-furred, proboscis-endowed sea monster seen of South Africa's shore in 1924.
