In 1970, former Air Force pilot Captain Jonathan Rickard inherited The Investigator, a Hollywood gossip rag that his father had founded. Initially, he took a hands-off approach to the publication, making only one change--the addition of a column, written by Rickard himself, about Bigfoot. A crash landing had stranded Rickard in the Oregon wilderness five years earlier, where a mysterious benefactor provided him with food and supplies during the two weeks before he was rescued. Convinced that his benefactor was the legendary sasquatch, Rickard had been fascinated by the creature ever since.

As time went on, Rickard became interested in other unusual phenomena, and soon made contacts in the world of paranormal research. In 1975, Rickard made himself managing editor of the paper, changing the name to Strange Times and moving the focus to bizarre and unusual phenomena. The Strange Times is now America's largest and best-known journal of the weird.
