Charles Fort / 查尔斯·霍伊·福特

Charles Fort appears in 95.都市传说：猎奇故事和我们内心深处的焦虑 as the collector of strange reports and “excluded” materials that conventional science often set aside. The episode uses Fort and later Forteans to show an adjacent field to [[UrbanLegend|urban legend]] research: anomalous stories can be archived and compared even when they should not be accepted uncritically.

The source quotes the Fortean posture as a useful tension: do not simply believe, but do not close inquiry before looking. In the wiki, Fort therefore belongs near both folklore and Scientific Skepticism rather than inside either pure credulity or pure debunking.

Connections

• [[UrbanLegend|都市传说]] - adjacent contemporary strange-story field.
• UFO Conspiracy Culture - Fortean material overlaps with UFO, haunting, and cryptid interests.
• Scientific Skepticism and Observation Before Inference - guardrails for strange evidence.
• Conspiracy Theory Pattern Seeking - risk when anomalies become hidden-order explanation.
