The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
210
If
we
pay
a
little
attention
to
this
subject,
ourselves,
before
starting
to
write
upon
it,
which
is
one
of
the
ways
of
being
more
nearly
real
than
oppositions
so
far
encountered
by
us,
we
find:
That
the
stones
of
these
forts
are
vitrified
in
no
reference
to
cementing
them:
that
they
are
cemented
here
and
there,
in
streaks,
as
if
special
blasts
had
struck,
or
played,
upon
them.
Then
one
thinks
of
lightning?
Once
upon
a
time
something
melted,
in
streaks,
the
stones
of
forts
on
the
tops
of
hills
in
Scotland,
Ireland,
Brittany,
and
Bohemia.
Lightning
selects
the
isolated
and
conspicuous.
But
some
of
the
vitrified
forts
are
not
upon
tops
of
hills:
some
are
very
inconspicuous:
their
walls
too
are
vitrified
in
streaks.
Something
once
had
effect,
similar
to
lightning,
upon
forts,
mostly
on
hills,
in
Scotland,
Ireland,
Brittany,
and
Bohemia.
But
upon
hills,
all
over
the
rest
of
the
world,
are
remains
of
forts
that
are
not
vitrified.
There
is
only
one
crime,
in
the
local
sense,
and
that
is
not
to
turn
blue,
if
the
gods
are
blue:
but,
in
the
universal
sense,
the
one
crime
is
not
to
turn
the
gods
themselves
green,
if
you're
green.

One
of
the
most
extraordinary
of
phenomena,
or
alleged
phenomena,
of
psychic
research,
or
alleged
research--if
in
quasi-existence
there
never
has
been
real
research,
but
only
approximations
to
research
that
merge
away,
or
that
are
continuous
with,
prejudice
and
convenience--
"Stone-throwing."
It's
attributed
to
poltergeists.
They're
mischievous
spirits.
