The @forteanlondon.bsky.social event at Conway Hall had its very own Unwarranted Afternoon Performance. #strangecentral
In my wisdom, I filmed the #StrangeCentral fire extinguisher incident, part of it anyway...

All six presentations were brilliant & well delivered. I had a chance to briefly chat to David Clarke, Andrew Bartlett, Mark Pilkington & Ben Machell. Grabbed a couple of books and even got Mark P to sign my copy of Mirage Man. Great day out.
We’re crossing the streams to close the #StrangeCentral day for @forteanlondon.bsky.social : ghost hunting in the archives with some of the 20th century’s most prominent psychical researchers, via @benmachell.bsky.social, @alicevernon10.bsky.social & Sarah Sparkes 👻
I dunno, I don't think a ghost researcher should ever step intro the role of unofficial marriage counselor, therapist etc. #StrangeCentral
Fire extinguisher going off while connected to wall.
No Fortean event would be complete without the unexplained and uncanny spontaneous discharge of a Conway Hall fire extinguisher... I was there and know what I saw. #StrangeCentral
More likely it was a Spirit Trumpet used in seances, not an actual musical trumpet, I'd imagine #StrangeCentral
Whitley Strieber and JD Vance books side by side both titled Communion
I SPAT MY DRINK OUT #StrangeCentral
UFOS: WEAPONS OF MASS DISRUPTION Mark Pilkington
Mark Pilkington up next at #StrangeCentral with UFOS: Weapons of Mass Destruction
Now Mark Pilkington on UFOs: Weapons of Mass Disruption. #StrangeCentral 🛸
Post-lunch at #StrangeCentral for @forteanlondon.bsky.social has us hit the forests: sociologists of science @drjamielewis.bsky.social & Andrew Bartlett say “Bigfooter” communities are moving from hunting to citizen scientists as the problem of habeus corpus keeps the skeptics loud.
Their book has a discount on the Routledge site right now with free shipping #StrangeCentral

This is fascinating #StrangeCentral
I believe the paper is 'The Shape of Bigfoot: Transmuting Absences into Credible Knowledge Claims' available online here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #StrangeCentral
The afternoon session of #StrangeCentral opens with 'Mysteries, Monsters, Ghosts & UFOs' from Jamie Lewis & Andrew Bartlett.

Finding Bigfooting: From Hunting to Gathering: Jamie Lewis and Andrew Bartlett BIGFOOTERS AND SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY On the Borderlands of Legitimate Science
I’ve been looking forward to this at #StrangeCentral - a sociological examination of how bigfooters adopt something science-y into their practice.

Back from lunch at #StrangeCentral and next up is Jamie Lewis and Andrew Bartlett on #bigfoot and scientific inquiry. I've brought along my own copy and will be getting them to sign it.
Looking for Bigfoot at #StrangeCentral… 🐻
Great morning watching #strangecentral from @forteanlondon.bsky.social at @conwayhall.bsky.social. We've had the Calvine photograph (UFO), occult coins and sea monsters. Great stuff all round.
Fantastic morning at #StrangeCentral. So grateful to @forteanlondon.bsky.social for making this accessible online <3
The Centre for Fortean Zoology are a bit obsessed with lake monsters being massive eels #StrangeCentral
"Coaelcanths are red herrings!"
