"glissory' is still on hiatus while I'm pantsing forward with new characters, new plot developments and whatnot. But I decided to post a character sheet with current and emerging (and very delightful) new characters. An update on this and new series plans in a few days. #scifi #amwriting #sciencefiction #ETs #paranormal #deepweird #phenomenon #extraterrestrials #interdimensional #series #amplotting #characterbuilding #characterdesign #characterbuilding #plottwist

BEYOND THE BOGGLE Jack Hunter (ed.) #DeepWeird; the Varieties of #HighStrangeness Experience. August Night Press, 2022.

The term 'high strangeness' was coined by #JAllenHynek in his 1974 book, The UFO Experience. He used it to describe accounts which seemed to stray beyond the limits of his Type One, Type Two, etc. classification system for #UFOReports, and which were being ignored by #UFO researchers who were fearful of stepping outside a 'scientific' approach to the phenomenon.

It was not long, however, before some of these #HighStrangenessExperiences were granted admission to UFO respectability, with the expanding categories of '#CloseEncounter' reports, but researchers like #JohnKeel and a young #JeromeClark were pushing the limits further with their exploration of stories such as '#Mothman', and accounts of psychic and #ParanormalExperience & involvement in UFO and #CryptidEncounters.

The 'Deep Weird': “These are experiences that push, and often far exceed, the boundaries of what the dominant models of Western #Science and #Culture allow for, and yet are relatively commonly reported worldwide.”

I am deeply honoured to be a part of Dr Jack Hunter’s latest project exploring the very depth of high strangeness. My contribution advocates for an experimental approach to #conjuring and directly experiencing deep weird phenomena.
