Are the Fortean times strange deaths books simply urban legend?
Strange Deaths is a part the “Strange Days” menu on their pages. “The identification of correct original sources by contributors is a defining feature of the magazine, as it was for Charles Fort himself. However, the “objective reality” of these reports is not as important. The magazine “maintains a position of benevolent scepticism towards both the orthodox and the unorthodox” and “toes no party line”.” Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortean_Times For me, it does not look like urban legends. The Fortean Times has also a section “Myth Busters” which investigate the truth of urban legends.
