John Keel has supplied considerable material to The Anomalist over the past few years, notably from the Keelian website maintained by Doug Skinner. Following Keel’s adventures with the Long Island contactees, we, as others, have wondered how Keel’s experiences affected him. Hakan Blomqvist praises the new book by Brent Raynes, John A. Keel: The Man, […]

More from John Keel’s “Official Correspondence, ’66” file, as Keel site manager Doug Skinner notes. The letter and Doug’s commentary give insight into Keel’s self-promotion efforts during that heady period of UFO history. That’s furthered in A Letter to A.M. Rosenthal, May 3, 1966. Skinner notes that the managing editor of The New York Times […]

John Keel sitemaster Doug Skinner offers an interesting item from Keel’s “Official Correspondence” file. Skinner and a reader consider one reason why Bishop Sheen may not have replied, but there might be a more obvious one involving the magazine for Keel’s proposed article. In General Chart (1) Doug furnishes us the first of three posts […]

John Keel site manager Doug Skinner concludes Keel’s file on the peculiar find of supposed alien writing by one John Reeves. The Comments to these installments are also interesting. Item “2” in The Reeves Papers (10), while used as an indication the March 2, 1965, spacecraft landing was a hoax, doesn’t sound so probative now […]

“Strange crawling stump-like creatures” and inquisitive robots leaving figure-eight tread footprints–more from the papers in the file covering Keel’s efforts to decipher some strange characters supposedly found by a man named John Reeves. Only here two Reeves families are concerned. “It must have been a bad year to be a Reeves,” site manager Doug Skinner […]

John Keel site master Doug Skinner offers the conclusion of this set of entries from Keel’s personal journaling. The “Special Report” covers a “gap” from late February 1968 nuttiness and focuses upon “a bizarre series of events” featuring a Keel impersonator. Only this time, in one instance there’s more than one weird “double” with James […]

The “Supreme Council” is “irked” with poor John Keel. And that may be the least odd of several bits of data being fed Keel. Probably the most concerning thing is John is being told facts that almost no one else should know, but there’s enough zaniness elsewhere in this post to keep us marveling and […]

John Keel still has many fans in the UFO community, but Rich Reynolds is not so enamored of the late fortean anymore. He believes that Keel was “apparently demented because of the supposed communications by ‘the others’ that took over his life about which he wrote extensively.” He also believes that Keel was perhaps a […]

If this timetable proves valid, we may find ourselves fighting World War III in June 1968.” So says John Keel about the ramifications of ten predictions made by some of his “Contactee” associates in late 1967. For four cases Keel lists 1967 events that he felt to some extent confirmed the frightening forecasts, including the […]

Those who’ve been following the installments from the late John Keel’s “Special Files” will, well, be specially pleased by this latest offering. First of all, we get to read something by Jaye Paro, the contactee whom site-minder Doug Skinner says “practically deluged [John] with weirdness.” It’s a treat to “hear” her directly, and not relayed […]
