Bizarre News too outrageous even for the tabloids. Too steamy, too sacrilegious, too politically incorrect...too hot to handle! From C. Michael Forsyth, a former associate editor of National Enquirer and senior writer/reporter for the infamous Weekly World News, comes a treasure trove of articles even those tabloids wouldn't dare print -- and CNN and Fox News wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole! Have you ever seen the headline "Bookshelf Built by Jesus Found"... or "Perverted Poltergeist," about the ghost of a Peeping Tom who haunts the locker room of a prestigious women's college? Of course not, because you'll only find them here!

AFTERWORD
FOREWORD
Tabloid journalism reached its creative heights on the pages of the late, great and thoroughly iconic Weekly World News. In the 1990s, C. Michael Forsyth quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the finest and most prolific writers in the publication's history, a top-tier collaborator and driving force. Since going solo, he’s scoured the globe to bring you the wild and woolly news that those nervous Nellie news outlets like CNN, Fox and The New York Times don't DARE report.
If you liked Batboy and P'lod, the space alien who endorsed Bill Clinton, you're going to love Forsyth’s latest scoops—news that I guarantee you won't read anywhere else. Fasten your seat belts, buckos. And if you're weak of heart, don't turn another page until you get somebody in the room with you. That's the signpost up ahead,
Twilight Zone genius Rod Serling used to put it. To which I'll add, Your next stop, The Forsyth Zone!

INTRODUCTION
After a four-year stint as an associate editor at the National Enquirer, I landed a gig as a senior writer/reporter for Weekly World News, an infinitely wilder and weirder tabloid. I investigated bizarre stories from around the globe, exploring mysteries ranging from real-life blood-drinkers in the U.S. to the discovery of the so-called hobbit
on a remote Indonesian island. For a decade, my dispatches entertained up to half a million readers each week. Reporters were given full license to be creative, and boy, did we take full advantage!
Nevertheless, some stories were deemed too outrageous even for that wacky publication. Too sexy, too sacrilegious, too politically incorrect. Now, at last, I’m opening my private vault. In this book, you’ll find a treasure trove of such tales, told for the first time. What’s more, since leaving the paper to become a freelance writer, I’ve unearthed a mother lode of even more startling stories. Some articles may seem too outlandish to be true, but then again, they say truth is stranger than fiction.
Enjoy reading some of the most fantastic news ever reported—and choose to believe it or not!
Anthropologist Held Hostage By Elves For 7 Years
MIRACULOUS: Icelandic authorities rescue missing scientist.
By C. Michael Forsyth
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Seven years after she vanished without a trace, a female anthropologist emerged from a mysterious cave where authorities believe she may have been held hostage by real-life elves!
Danish researcher Kalena Søndergaard was stark naked, covered by dust and babbling incoherently when rescuers found her outside a tiny opening in the famous Elf Rock, traditionally believed to house the underground dwelling place of mankind’s tiny cousins.
She was crouching like an animal and spoke only in a language unrelated to any we know,
said Arnor Guðohnsen of the National Rescue Service, which airlifted the 31-year-old survivor to a hospital by helicopter.
"The only word we could understand was ‘alfur,’ an old Icelandic word for elves. On her back were strange tattoos similar to those markings Viking explorers found on rock formations when they settled Iceland in 874, traditionally known as ‘elf writing.’ "
DANISH anthropologist Kalena Søndergaard vanished without a trace.
Kalena, who was seeking proof of the existence of elves, was reported missing in January of 2006. At the time, police suspected she was the victim of foul play, but an intensive search failed to turn up any remains. On Feb. 4, 2013, hikers spotted the scientist crawling on all fours on a ledge high on the rocky hill, moving more like an ape than a human being,
