Features
30 Human Lightning Rods (cover story)
For most people, being struck by lightning is not a pleasant experience, and often a fatal one. Yet some men and women have suffered repeated strikes with only minor injuries, while other claim to be healed or transformed in the process. LOUIS PROUD looks at some survivors' stories.
36 The Immortal Yew
Yews are among our oldest trees, but just how old are Britain's yews, and do they predate the churchyards in which they stand? STEVE MARSHALL searches for clues.
44 The Ghost and the Poet
What happened when a hard-drinking fin de siecle poet found himself the victim of an apparent haunting? JAN BONDESON throws new light on the 'Egham Case'.
46 Saving Private Forteana
A safe home is urgently needed for fortean archives. BOB RICKARD explains how he found a solution in Sweden's Archive for the Unexplained.
