Dechmont Woods UFO & The Godfather of Weird: Charles Fort (Premium)

In this episode of The Unexplainers, John and Rhys dive into one of Scotland’s strangest UFO encounters: the 1979 Dechmont Woods incident involving forestry worker Robert Taylor. They recount Taylor’s terrifying experience with a silent, hat-shaped craft, spiked rolling spheres that grabbed his trousers, and the baffling physical evidence that left police and doctors stumped—complete with ground marks, torn clothing, and no conventional explanation.From there, the pair segue into the life and legacy of Charles Fort, the “godfather of weird” whose obsessive cataloguing of strange phenomena—rains of frogs, mysterious lights in the sky, and other “damned facts” science tried to ignore—helped shape modern paranormal investigation, science fiction, and the Fortean Times.Access all premium content and support the show here.FacebookInstagramYoutubeXVisit our network:thesonarnetwork.com Hosted on Acast.
