The London Fortean Society were a brave and happy few standing outside 39a Marchmont Street, a home of Charles Fort's when staying in London, to celebrate the birthday of Charles Fort, the inspiration for the fortean approach to life.
There was a reading from the opening paragraphs of 'The Book of the Damned', Fort's first 'fortean' book and then a fall of Fort Fish.
The Society then marked the New Yorker's name across his adopted city by visiting 4 pubs, the Friend at Hand, the Old Crown, the Royal George and the Tottenham.
Despite passing Fort's old reading ground of the British Museum, and a trip into occult bookshop Atlantis Books and quite a lot to drink, nothing fortean took place during our outing.
Many thanks to those who came along with LFS founders Scott and David: Rachel Carthy, Lindsey Clarke and John Fraser. The London Fortean Society hope to make this an annual event - all forteans and friends are welcome!
