Latest Fortean Property for Sale...
We've already brought you news of the Cottingley Fairies house and the House on Haunted Hill being for sale but here's a real biggie. As reported by a number of news outlets the Amityville House is for sale.
Yep, that's the one. Long Island, New York, the Lutzes, films, books, law suits, DeFeo murders etc. Amityville, the house on the hill as the song says.
For a mere (!) $1.15 million it could be yours. See if you can stay longer than the Lutzes!
So as an eccentric Fortean billionaire you're on the way to building up a nice property portfolio - Amityville, Cottingley and the House on Haunted Hill (ok it was only a film but the real house is awsome).
So what property is next? And will I be able to afford it? Or someone could buy it and donate it to the Charles Fort Institute as our headquarters - now that would be cool!

Gordon Rutter
Gordon has been a life long Fortean and as a small child he was allowed to use the adults library to read all about Fortean things as he had read, several times, all of the books in the junior section. This was probably the start of a love affair with books. Gordon has the idea of his death being a Fortean event, possibly buried under a pile of collapsed books.
In 1997 Gordon started the Edinburgh Fortean Society which is still going strong and even supplied him with a fiancee. A general Fortean Gordon admits to a weakness for Cryptozoology and EVP (started by a free flexi disc with the first issue of weekly part work "The Unexplained") and a general disinterest in UFOs (although he is quite excited about the recent arrival of an autographed photograph of Erich von Daniken).\
As he is not yet a gentleman of leisure (still waiting for the Lottery numbers to come up) Gordon has to work, and after time as a researcher in mycology and a writer Gordon is currently working as Head of Biology in an Edinburgh High School.
