General content
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". The range of subject matter is extremely broad, including:
General Forteana
Anomalous phenomena
Apparitions
Bizarre deaths
Conspiracy theories
Crop circles
Cryptozoology
Cults and would-be Messiahs and prophets
Fringe science
Hoaxes
Millennialism, eschatology, and cases of mass hysteria
Mutants (human and animal)
Parapsychology
Religious phenomena (stigmata, appearances and simulacra and miracles, etc.)
Natural simulacra
Unidentified flying objects
Urban legends
Fortean Times also frequently covers the Ig Nobel Prizes, as well as unusual aspects of mainstream science and research.
