Hm. That's an interesting one, particularly since I have yet to finish reading Fort directly. Most of what I know of his reporting has been from secondary sources. That said, I'll assume you're asking for phenomena and theories that are in the vein of Charles Fort, in which case:
Antarctic Space Nazis: Ken Hite wrote a whole column on this at one point, and I have a book (Arktos, which he recommended and I have yet to get around to reading) which details at least some of it. Basically, the Nazis were fascinated with the poles (and, I suppose, the Poles). They also were working on rocketry. Hence, Antarctic Space Nazis!
Elvis and / or JFK are still alive: (Corrollary: Andy Kaufman is still alive.) It's the classic conspiracy theorist's playground. They're not dead! I saw them playing Pinochle in Reno! Magic Bullet! Andy's just joking! Et cetera, et cetera, ad nausem. One can't pooh-pooh the fact that it's become a closet industry, though.
