Features

30 Introducing the Fairy Census 2014-17 (cover story)
Do people still see fairies in the modern world? And, if so, how do they make sense of an 'impossible' experience? Simon Young introduces the Fairy Census and presents a selection of entires from this survey of contemporary encounters with the Little People.

38 Mr Wilson and the Aeronauts of 1897
Jerome Clark examines a cluster of mystery airship sightings from April 1897 in Texas and asks whether the mixed bag of witness accounts point to a series of real events, an elaborate fiction or something else: an 'experience anomaly'.

44 Voodoo on Trial
Mike Dash looks back at an 1864 case that ended with the execution of eight Haitians for child murder and has helped define attitudes toward the nation and religion ever since.
