A well loved copy of an especially entertaining entry in Smith's line of Forteana. Sea serpents, ghosts, visions, and general weirdos make for a pleasant paranormal potpourri. UFO contactee Paul Villa Jr. is on hand to tell us the Saucer People don't particularly care if we blow ourselves to Kingdom Come with the Bomb! Dr. Robert Menzies hooks a mystery monster that bends his iron out right straight!

Italian strongman Agostino Colli is a medical wonder, with two hearts and six fingers. Sadly there isn't much out there on the world wide web about Mr. Colli, besides this Getty stock photo and some archived news articles. Some more "computer minds" and savants are also sprinkled throughout.
