Mysteries is a big dissapointment

I am extremely dissapointed in Mysteries. From it's description: Examines the mysteries which have intrigued both historians and scientists alike for ages, I thought it would be about real, scientific mysteries, like why something went extinct, or new findings in space exploration, and the clues that have been found. Instead, it's a hoakie set of articles about ghost hunting andUFOs. Buyer beware!!!

This was the worst magazine!

I threw it in the trash the same day I got it. It was deplorable!

Too many errors of fact

This magazine has way too many factual errors, especially the "Urban Legends" column by Charles Rammelcamp.  There was also an article about an Egyptian mummy aboard the Titanic and a claim that this was what caused the great ship to sink.  In fact, there was no mummy on the Titanic.

Then, there was one issue that everything in it was by someone named "Tim Swartz."  I don't want to read a magazine where every article is by the same person.  Also, on the magazine's homepage, it is obvious that the publisher still believes "orbs" are spirits even though they have been discounted by every reliable paranormal researcher.

I would like to see some well-written, true ghost stories without all the ghost-hunter jargon about EVP, EMF, etc., etc.  The publisher doesn't realize it, but if she included such articles, the magazine's circulation would likely increase.  All one has to do to realize that is to look at which "ghost" books sell the best.

The magazine would also attract more readers without all the psychic mumbo jumbo.  Once, at the beginning of 2004, I believe, Sylvia Brown was on the cover with her predictions for the coming year and, guess what?  Not a single one of her predictions came true.

Mysteries Magazine would do well to advertise for a "few good writers" and dispense with the "orbs," psychics, erroneous information (e.g., the Titanic article) and Charless Rammelcamp.

I was very disappointed to find out (from my first issue) that this magazine deals with the paranormal.  I had no indication of that from the description; it sounded like it dealt with legitimate unsolved mysteries.  Yuck!  I immediately cancelled my subscription.

Its Not what I expected it to be
