Since he was a teenager Louis Proud has experienced hundreds of episodes of chronic sleep paralysis. In his book, Dark Intrusions (Anomalist Books), and in this recent interview with Cameron Brauer, Proud suggests that many sleep paralysis experiences involve genuine contact and communication with incorporeal entities, some of them parasitic and potentially dangerous. From a young fortean living in Tasmania, we move on to the sad news that Nebraskan Fortean Scott Colborn, 69, Dies. I first met Scott back in the 1980s when he invited me to present a talk at one of his internationally attended conferences on the paranormal and the unexplained held in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was a truly kind and gentle soul. Farewell, my friend. (PH)
