Features

32 Hoia Baciu: Romania's Haunted Forest (cover story)
Chris Hill gets his teeth sorted out by a Transylvanian dentist and then heads into the forest of Hoia Baciu, where strangely contorted trees, UFOs and 'time tunnels' are proving a draw for paranormal tourism...

38 A Miscellany of Merseyside Mysteries
Everyone in Merseyside seems to have at least one strange story to tell - and the often tell them to Rob Gandy, who returns to FT with another armful of anomalous accounts, this time including phantom planes, time-sleps and a ghostly ARP warden.

44 Shake, Rattle and Glow
Anomalous luminous phenomena associated with seismic stresses, known as earthquake lights, are still not accepted as legitimate observations by modern seismologists. Will this fortean subject soon be explicable and its many witnesses vindicated? Sharon A Hill surveys the field of EQL research.
