Hello everybody.
I was sorting out my collection of books a few days ago and I came across one of my faves - The Best of Fortean Times: The Journal of Strange Phenomena [my brother got me it last year from a charity shop (Butterwick Hospice) where he works]. Anyway, I thought it might be cool to share some of the best stories/anecdotes from the book. This is gonna be fun..
Let's begin:-
LIBERACE RETURNS
On 10th February 1989 the inhabitants of the tiny town of Fyffe in Alabama witnessed the return to earth of the late glittering pianist Liberace (double-size, 12-feet tall), who descended from a golden banana-shaped spacecraft via a moving stairway and treated the lucky witnesses to a medley of Hollywood show-stoppers, with glowing fingers on a floating piano. Talk of the apparition brought chaos to the town, with 4000 cars jamming the main street on 6th March 1989. An 'American UFO expert' said: "Too many people have seen strange things for it to be a hoax."
