On this day in 1935 Rev. Lionel Fanthorpe was born. Fanthorpe is a Fortean and prolific science-fiction author, and was the host of Channel 4's Fortean TV. Fanthorpe also made and album of damn fine Fortean-themed songs accompanied by Jon Downes, with lyrics mostly written by Richard Freeman. I believe the album may still be commercially available should you ask Jon or whoever is manning the CFZ phones/email at the time nicely.
And now the news:
Here's a vid of Lionel at Armadacon, telling a few tales of terror:
