Wild Talents, is the fourth non-fiction book by the author Charles Fort, known for his writing on the paranormal. In this book he deals largely with a number of anomalous phenomena, as well as his ongoing attack on current scientific theories. The book deals for the most part with trying to fit the various phenomena described into Fort’s new theory of psychic and mental power – the ‘Wild Talents’. Fort discusses many topics he had touched on before, though generally in more detail than in his other works – poltergeists, spontaneous human combustion, animal mutilations, vampires, and ghosts – along with many supposed cases of psychokinesis and ability to control one’s surroundings.
