The World's Strangest True Stories: FATE's Library of the Paranormal and the Unknown

by Fate Magazine, Phyllis Galde (Editor), Jean Marie Stine (Editor)

CLASSIC 2,000,000+ COPY BESTSELLING SERIES Amazon Top 10 in Paranormal & Supernatural! "FATE magazine is fascinating." —Steven King The world is not what we think it is. The individuals whose experiences you are about to read know that only too well, since nothing in their lives had prepared them for their encounters with things that are not supposed to happen — but did! Events like these remain hidden because those they happen to are afraid to speak out of a natural reluctance to have their sincerity or sanity questioned. Societies define their own realities and those who challenge them do so at their own peril. The moral seems to be that where these kinds of events are concerned, ignorance is the best policy. Ignorance, of course, will not stop people from having strange, inexplicable experiences. Mysterious stuff will continue to fall out of the sky. People will continue to have bizarre UFO encounters. Little men, monsters, talking mongooses and invisible presences won't stop their determined trespassing into our reality. While most of the world turns a deaf ear to these dimensions of experience, FATE has been listening. And a great number of people have shared their stories with FATE. You are about to read the strangest of them, the reports that represent the greatest challenge to science, reason and understanding. What you will find here, in The World's Strangest True Stories, is nothing less than a full, unobstructed view of these other realities, tantalizing glimpses of things that don't belong here, of worlds not our own...

I LOVE this kind of stuff, and ate it up like a good Philly pizza. It's full of some really great stories, many of which will shock you and creep you out, it's fascinating! I've never read FATE magazine, but I'm sure interested now! Loved the stories and the narration, I could listen to this stuff all day. I'd definitely recommend this one! :)

Thought Provoking

Now and then, I have a need to stimulate my mind with something other than romances. Truth is Stranger than fiction has been my favorite go to since I was a little kid. Back in the day, I used to read Fate magazine and really enjoyed it. This book was no exception. It was very interesting and some of the stories generated a different way of looking at things. I gave it 4 stars for a couple of reasons. First, there were a couple of stories that were just too lengthy for the particular subjects. Second, these stories date pretty far back in time. I think the most recent ones took place in the 1970's.

The thing that I dislike about these types of books is not the content. I think stories of mysterious, unexplained, or straight up creepy things can be fascinating and make our sometimes mundane world seem more mysterious. But that isn't really what you get from this book. The stories included are not really stories, they're basically news stories that simply list facts about an event, not much story included. This book would have been much better had the stories been told from first-person perspectives of the people involved. As such, it was a really dry, not very entertaining read.

This was a fun read.

Stories that are fun to ponder. There is so much to the world and the human psyche that we do not begin to understand.

[E'Who'Reads'a'Thousand'Mysteries · Rating 4 out of 5]

This nicely edited collection of tales is quite the rollercoaster of assorted true stories. Believe them or not, the journey is wildly entertaining.

A good collection of eerie tales

I chose this rating because of the good selection presented in the book. Lot of spooky grounds covered and that's exactly what I was looking for!
