Paranormal Magazine is a monthly digital magazine devoted to the subject of supernatural phenomena. The periodical's slogan is: "Exploring the world of the unexplained." It is sold online through digital distributor MagazineCloner.com. Publishing history An independently published magazine entitled Paranormal was first published in November 2005 under the editorship of Allison Jordan. This publication folded after 26 issues. A few months later the title was acquired by Jazz Publishing Ltd. The new Paranormal Magazine launched in August 2008 and the magazine was published first that month. This new incarnation moved away from the previous emphasis on spiritualism and its reliance on celebrity mediums and writers associated with TV ghost-hunting programs, such as Most Haunted. According to the publisher's website, Paranormal Magazine had a circulation of 14,280 copies per month. Jazz Publishing ceased publication of Paranormal Magazine at the end of 2011 with issue number 56. 11th Dimension Publishing (now Green Earth Publishing) next acquired the magazine and has published issues 57 through to 65. Paranormal Magazine is now online only. Contributors Contributors to Paranormal Magazine have included David Clarke, Lionel Fanthorpe, Richard Freeman, Nick Redfern, Leo Ruickbie, Karl Shuker, Brad Steiger, Nigel Watson, as well as organisations such as The Fortean Picture Library and the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena.
