I saw this a day late, but coincidentally, I was reading about sea serpents yesterday anyway. As for Charles Fort, I was thinking about his opinions (though I’m sure he probably wouldn’t use THAT word for them) yesterday, but then, I do that almost EVERY day.

Loren
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today. Some of us are forteans and do know it, and are proud of it. Having grown up in Gloucester I was aware this was a special day (6th). As we know it was a special month, perhaps a chance to give your readers who might not know, a run down of what happened 190 years ago in Gloucester and the surrounding area for over a month. Also on the anniversary theme don’t forget Cottingley 90 years ago. Best to forteans everywhere.

I’m a Fortean. Kool. I didn’t know that. Wish I was Fortean enough to see Bigfoot. Dang it!

Interesting. I had no idea there was such a day and the fact that they hold it on August 7th, my birthday, makes it even better. Even though it should really be on the 6th.

August 6th is also “Halfway Day,” the midpoint of the summer season on the calendar.

Quite interesting. I don’t think most people realize that everyday is a something day, and some of them are more out there than sea serpent day. Happy s.s. day!
