Fate magazine owner takes weirdness in new direction 
Phyllis Galde has no gills. She can't dissolve into mist before your eyes. Her eyes don't have the cat-like slits that TV aliens have.

It's disappointing, because as the new owner of a magazine specializing in UFOs, sea monsters, ghosts, Bigfoot andfish-people, you expect her to be a little more... unusual.

"I just try to be a level-headed Norwegian and have some common sense," said Galde, a 58-year-old Lakeville grandmother who looksapple-pie normal.

But normal is only skin deep. Her life revolves around the bizarre, as reflected in the pages of her magazine, Fate, the 56-year-old journal of the paranormal.

After managing it for years, she bought the 20,000-circulation monthly magazine in March. Now, from a house on a leafy cul-de-sac, Galde runs a modest empire of weirdness from around the world that lists actor Dan Aykroyd and artist R. Crumb as fans.
