Episode 298 - STRANGE HARVEST: THIS FARM EARTH W/ BUTCH...

Welcome to Ground Zero Classics with Clyde Lewis. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Charles Fort, an enigmatic writer and researcher from the early 20th century. Fort was a pioneer in studying the strange and unusual occurrences that defied conventional scientific explanations. He sought out articles and reports on bizarre phenomena such as frog and fish falls, unexplained stone throwing, and the appearance of animals in places they should not exist. Fort believed that science was failing to embrace its own principles by dismissing these incidents with mundane explanations, without further investigative research. As a Fortean, I align myself with his approach of analyzing and reporting on these weird stories, whether they’re not only political but also non-political in nature. Forteans, like myself, are often creative and imaginative thinkers. We approach life with the wonder and excitement of a child on Christmas day, finding beauty and meaning in everything we encounter, from the darkest mysteries to the most inspiring and amusing experiences on our planet. One of Fort's most famous quotes sheds light on his perspective of humanity's place in the grand scheme of things. He once mused, "The Earth is a farm, we are someone else's property." This statement suggests that humans exist within a contained environment, akin to an alien ant farm. Join me, Clyde Lewis, as we explore the mind of Charles Fort and his influential work on the unexplained. Tune in to this Ground Zero Classics episode originally broadcasted on September 14, 2016. Don't miss this captivating journey into the world of Forteans and the mysteries that continuously captivate our imaginations.
