JOHN KEEL NOT AN AUTHORITY ON ANYTHING

A Letter to Charles Bowen, November 16, 1966

purchase disulfiram In a sort of postscript to his last letter, John tracks down Alex Theoharous and his wife (whom he doesn’t name), and convinces them not to pirate Bowen’s book The Humanoids. Bowen was grateful, as you can see here. As we can see from John’s letter, Bowen’s remark about Frank Edwards was prompted by Alex Theoharous’s defense that he and his wife were only doing what Edwards had done.

This is the last letter I’ve found from John’s correspondence with Charles Bowen. After this, I plan to post John’s notes on the “Reeves code,” and then some material about his experimental films, and then some of his correspondence from the 60s with Jim and Coral Lorenzen, Ivan Sanderson, and Lynn Catoe. There’s more to come!

  1. Some good sleuthing and well handled. Sounds like John could be a good friend.

  2. Good friend – and a terrible enemy judging by his skip tracing skills in this case.
    What a shame that the camaraderie and realism of “Silver Age” Fortean research has devolved into the two equally toxic streams of cheapjack debunking on the one hand and facile huckstering of cult UFOlogy on the other. We need another Keel today.

  3. I look forward to the correspondence with Sanderson and Catoe especially and the Lorenzens. Thank you Doug for all you do.

  4. Hi Doug! What a tale. JK really applied a bit of the ol’ assertiveness, and did a very good deed (indeed). These letters are enthralling. Thanks so much.
