More fun from the Dark Lore gang. This sixth edition starts strongly, but some of the articles in the second half are disappointing.
Here are my favourites: Ian Vincent has a stimulating piece on Slenderman, whose phony origin has not impeded his establishment in modern folklore; Mark Foster argues for the existence of hidden chambers in the Great Pyramid without embarrassing himself or the reader; Robert Schoch (of all people) contributes a completely enthralling study of "The Carrington Event", a massive solar storm which fried the modest existing telegraphic grid of 1859. Although another such storm (or worse) is inevitable, we have so far been spared; Schoch lays out the consequences a storm of comparable magnitude would have on the world today, and the outlook is pretty awful.
Lastly, Martin Shough turns the tables on the sceptics. He takes as his subject mirages which engender one or more duplicate solar discs. Although the existence of such mirages is solidly entrenched in the literature of atmospheric phenomena, Shough demonstrates that the evidence for their existence is very feeble, and the underlying science ("lateral mirages") more or less preposterous; if we were talking about something unsanctioned by the voice of scientific authority, the whole business would be contemptuously dismissed.
