Charles Fort (1874-1932) fancied himself a true Skeptic, one who
opposes all forms of dogmatism, believes nothing, and does not take a
position on anything. He claimed to be an "intermediatist," one who
believes nothing is real and nothing is unreal, that "all phenomena are
approximations one way or the other between realness and unrealness."
Actually, he was an anti-dogmatist who collected weird and bizarre
stories.
Fort spent a good part of his adult life in the New York City public
library examining newspapers, magazines, and scientific journals.
