This two-volume history of the supernatural, first published in 1863, is a staggering feat. William Howitt attempts to describe the engagement with the supernatural in all ages and all parts of the world in order to identify a common link between them. Howitt (1792-1879), a well-known writer in his day, published over 50 books in his lifetime, some in collaboration with his wife, writer, and translator Mary Howitt.

New Lands was the second nonfiction book of the author Charles Fort, written in 1925. It deals primarily with astronomical anomalies. Fort expands in this book on his theory about the Super-Sargasso Sea—a place where earthly things supposedly materialize in order to rain down on Earth—as well as developing an idea that there are continents above the skies of Earth. As evidence, he cites a number of anomalous phenomena, including strange "mirages" of land masses, groups of people, and animals in the skies.

Lo! is the third published nonfiction work by author Charles Fort (first edition 1931). In it, he details a wide range of unusual phenomena. In the final chapter of the book, he proposes a new cosmology that the earth is stationary in space and surrounded by a solid shell which is (in the book's final words) "...not unthinkably far away." Charles Hoy Fort (August 6, 1874–May 3, 1932) was an American writer and researcher into anomalous phenomena. Today, the terms Fortean and Forteana are used to characterize various such phenomena.
