We wander winter afternoons where the light is too weak to keep the ghosts at bay. Stumble onto paths that can only be haunted. Each footstep scuffs up stories, scuffs up spirits. We walk and leave a wake of whispers. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Parodie, dans le numéro d'août 1988 du zine Pagan News, du topos des articles de journalistes chrétiens s'infiltrant dans des sectes satanistes (Source: Delinquant Elementals: A Pagan News Anthology, de @philh.bsky.social et Rodney Orpheus, Strange Attractor Press, 2025).
Christianity in suburbia. A Shock Expose! Suivi d'un article à la manière de ceux de la période de la panique satanique des années 1980 sur le satanisme, sauf qu'il est question d'une paroisse chrétienne. Un dessin en noir et blanc d'église sur une colline avec des chauve-souris illustre l'article.

There are certain pools whose drowned spirits sing of weakened sunlight, weed-dressed bones. Sing of mud embrace, decay's alchemy. At the threshold of their banks the witch may sing back of those things she wishes transformed in their waters. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

To walk the colonades at Ashcourt Necropolis is to tread upon grief-soaked stones. You are haunted by absence, enfolded in a thousand dead whispers. Despite our attempts at grand demarcations between living flesh and slow corruption, death remains a shared singularity. – #CLNolan

For some folk Nokes, UFOs are a religion. They’ve got to testify. If it isn’t the Space Gospel at told to them by Commander Ril of the Planet Skareg, it’s that Meldon Hill is a holy place of galactic convergence. I wish all of the preachy bastards would get beamed up. – #DICallaghan

In Hookland, many a folkloric tale starts not with ‘A long time ago’ or ‘Far, far away’, but with the line: ‘Out across the dark moor where strange songs are still heard …’ For folklore tells strongly of place and our relationships to it. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore #FolkloreThursday
