The Mag: Issue 239

On sale from 24 July

Origins of the Illuminati -
The hidden history of the world's biggest conspiracy

Our cover story this issue asks who are the Illuminati, and do they really control the world? Other features include a search for the truth behind the stories of Annie Palmer, a beautiful girl who, we are told, became the most feared and hated woman in the Caribbean and, after her death, the terrible White Witch of Rose Hall.

Also this month we are disgusted by a German bunny beheader, awed by pictures of colliding galaxies, saddened by the mysterious deaths of dolphins beached on British shorelines, baffled by the human feet washing up in Western Canada, and scared by tales of the South Shields poltergeist, which scratched its victims, threatened them via text, and strung up their cuddly toys.
