Charles Fort letter up for auction


 Ferdoncrawford Fortletterins11
A curious signed letter by
Charles Fort (1874-1932), the "patron saint" of research into anomalous phenomena, is up for auction on eBay. The three-page letter from 1925 is "vintage Charles Fort, as he expounds his views on the stationary earth, visitors from outer space, farming ants, black rain, superstitious birds and more." The auction ends tonight and the current bid is above $300 right now. Link (Thanks, Loren Coleman!)

UPDATE: The hammer dropped at $966.96!
