"Dead of Night" magazine (UK, 1990s-2000s) - UFOs, paranormal phenomena, nocturnal entities, ghosts, cryptozoology and witches

"Dead of Night" magazine was a magazine published by Lee Walker in the United Kingdom in the 1990s-2000s.  It stated that it was "Merseyside's Premier Publication Dealing With All Forms of Paranormal Phenomena".

This magazine included articles about UFOs, paranormal phenomena, nocturnal entities, ghosts, cryptozoology and other Forteana.

In an editorial in the first issue, Lee Walker explained that the magazine "seeks to explore ALL realms of what we might term, for want of a better description, 'Strange Phenomena'". He stated that this included ghosts and apparitions, weather anomalies, corn circles and occult crimes, vanishing people, combustion and curses and jinxes and "just to round things off" a very long list of other Forteana.

A sense of humour is obvious in the editorials and the selection of some of the material covered in the magazine. One of the more lighter items in this magazine was a collection of "The Cosmic Joker's Latest Pranks", including articles about part of a man's penis being sucked off by a vaccuum cleaner and a "groom killed by stripper's boobs". 

Lee Walker has sadly passed away but his wife has kindly given permission for me to upload his magazine. She commented that Lee would have been flattered.

Once again, this publication has been scanned by the AFU in Sweden.
