ABC News has called Marc Hartzman "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre." George Noory said he's "as bizarre as Robert Ripley." Hartzman considers both high praise since his passion for the unusual started early with Ripley's “Believe It Or Not,” and the annual Guinness World Records books. In addition to his books about UFOs, ghosts, Mars, Oliver Cromwell's embalmed head, sideshow performers, and unorthodox messages from God, Hartzman has written extensively for Mental Floss, he is also coauthor of “To the Hilt: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing.” Marc has written extensively for HuffPost, AOL Weird News, The Morbid Anatomy Online Journal, and Bizarre magazine, among other media. He has discussed oddities on CNN, MSNBC, Ripley’s Radio, History Channel’s The UnXplained, Xploration Outer Space, the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum, and dozens of podcasts. Hartzman has also been a featured speaker at a range of events, including the Explore Mars Humans to Mars Summit in Washington, D.C., the Coney Island Congress of Curious Peoples, New York ComicCon, the Exeter New Hampshire UFO Festival, and the Brooklyn Historical Society.
