Smithsonian Folklife just released an oral history interviewing guide for people who want to interview family members, neighbours, and friends about the history, culture, and tradition they bear. Here's hoping this sort of conversation finds its way around your Thanksgiving table. #folklore

Here are some guidelines Smithsonian folklorists have developed over the years for collecting oral histories from family and community members.

Interesting to see the two basking sharks swimming in aline together here with just their dorsal and tail fins above the water, you can see how someone might mistake them for a row of humps from a single sea serpent.

#FolkloreSunday Ghosts are a close companion of the winter season. The days grow shorter, the nights longer & even though we no longer live by candlelight, the death of the year & the chill in the air reawaken the spectral realm with more solemnity than Halloween.

It’s that time again - the M. R. James ghost story Christmas countdown! 👻
There are 31 days until Santa arrives, so if you read one* story a day, you’ll finish the Collected Ghost Stories in time to get merry.
Like a haunted advent calendar! ❄️

A movie that takes place where you're from.

Struggling with Herefordshire too, this is all I can think of for movies (and I've still not seen it or read the original novel).

R is for a Robin Redbreast from my #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1970 Play for Today short film. It manages to fuse rural isolation, Pagan ritual and feminism in a taut seventy minutes with a slow-build ominous creeping dread.

Just watched found footage horror film Willow Creek (2013), in which a couple head into the Californian woods near where the famous Patterson–Gimlin Sasquatch film was shot, and was impressed. Slowly and subtly builds the tension and lots of nods to 'real' Bigfoot lore 👣

WIDDERSHINS means moving counter clockwise; this inversion of the natural order was associated with the devil and witchcraft. In this image Witches delight in flying widdershins around North Berwick church with their broomsticks #FolkloreSunday

Looking forward to this! Very few Blackwood adaptations out there. I suppose the most famous is Lewton's Cat People. What else?

Goldfinches feeding on Teasel heads at sunset.
You had admired the teasels with their heads of purple haze flowers in June & there they still are at the start of winter.
A larder of seeds for the charms.

This is the oldest known family photo taken at Stonehenge. c 1865, back when you could picnic on the great sarsens themselves.

The original photo is owned by Queen Guitarist Brian May!

Two seasons collide at Fountains Abbey ❄️ 🍂

As winter ushers in the first frost, autumn clings on to its last few leaves.

"She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting."
O is for Owl Service from my linocut #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1967 novel by Alan Garner which he adapted from Welsh folklore. There’s a television series from 1969 which holds up surprisingly well.
