Eps 1 of Expedition Bigfoot (season 5) dropped yesterday. Spoiler alert: they didn’t find shit. Well, they did find some animal hair and acted like it would be the last thing you would find in a NorCal forest. What could be possibly wandering around in this forest that has fur ?! Oh yea, a bigfoot has fur ! Dun, dun, dun …!

Also, they replaced one of the cast members with a new dude. That’s a good thing, he was an absolute moron.

If you can find copies of the 4 books Fort wrote (Lo!, Wild Talents, The Book of the Damned, and New Lands), they still make for pretty wild reading.

Have his collection in my reading list. It seems like he could have been onto something with some of his ideas about aliens.

Listening to the Imminent audiobook. About 3 hours in. I’m not sure how I feel about Elizondo but it’s damn interesting

When jewel thieves ransacked her house, they overlooked the humble doorstop that was worth over a million dollars.

Not too Fortean, but pretty cool.
