Everything about Mike Dash totally explained
Mike Dash (b. 1963) is a
Welsh writer, journalist and researcher. Born in
London, he attended the
University of Cambridge and
King's College London, and holds a PhD in naval history for the thesis
British Submarine Policy 1853–1918.
Dash worked for 20 years as contributing editor and publisher of the journal
Fortean Times, which specialises in the study and research of strange and
anomalous phenomena. He is regarded as one of the most serious modern investigators into such phenomena, preferring the use of first hand sources and other historically accurate information. His works investigate misconceptions and errors in the field of strange phenomena, typically finding a middle path between "believers" (who, in Dash's view, often accept extraordinary or unusual claims without investigation or on scant evidence) and skeptics and
debunkers (who, in Dash's view, often overlook interesting or valuable evidence in their seeming desire to disprove alleged paranormal or anomalous phenomena). In
Borderlands (1997), Dash repeatedly notes that researchers of unusual phenomena must
always be wary of potential
hoaxes; time and again people have perpetrated elaborate pranks or hoaxes with little motive other than to fool others.
Dash has published six books, and a number of articles and papers in
Fortean Times and later spin-off titles such as the academic annual
Fortean Studies, published from 1994 through 2000.
