4) DALLINGTON CHURCH
Northamptonshire, 1907. Two girls out for a walk enter the church. Inside, they are terrified to see the place full of kneeling people who seemed "to be made of a substance similar to bubbles". No explanation has ever been offered, and the apparition never reoccurred

It's #HALLOWEIRD season!
'When Hell Laughed' was written by Christine Campbell Thomson (1897 - 1985) under her pseudonym Flavia Richardson. She also edited the NOT AT NIGHT series.
M.R. James was *not* a fan of them (see 4th picture).

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We took a look at the data and this has happened for a record 87 hours in 2025 to date, twice as often as ever before

Hi, fellow Archaeology & Heritage peeps.
Is Heritage Gateway down for everyone else, or am I the only sap that can't access it right now (or indeed since some point on Friday)?

Since seeing the photos of him riding in the gold coach. I've had constant earworm of Joe Strummer warning us back in 1977, that should a certain dictator of Austrian birth fly into London.

I want to believe this is because of some just re-discovered unrevoked law relating to the 18th C Spice trade.
But I didn't follow it, so I'll never know.
Also... Local county level journalism is really dead and buried now isn't it? It's all click-bait headlines or stuff nicked off Facebook.

At the bottom of a box of books I recently received, was a copy of a 1983 BBC TV K.9 annual. Now I'm no hardened Dr Who fan, but out of interest I gave it a quick flick though, and my word, it's odd?
