Had a great time last night at the debut performance of @hiddenbritain.bsky.social's experimental AV Black Country ghost story Wren's Nest. A big sonic blast of hauntological goodness along with a beautifully rendered patchwork of eerie visuals - check out those upcoming dates..!

Warmly, unsettlingly beautiful.
I got lost in the woods, but was rescued by the national BBC1 Breakfast show...
Blink & you'll miss me, but you'll see plenty of @bobfischer.bsky.social and @mulgraveaudio.bsky.social as part of BBC Breakfast's Haunted Generation feature from this morning. Patchwuff makes an appearance alongside friend Sandra Kerr & he wants you to know that his play is still available to buy!

The church of St. Tysilio, in Llandysilio (Four Crosses) could easily be missed, now severed from the village by a bypass. But within the church lies a curious tale, of the spirit of a fly and its battle with a local cunning man.

Dr. Jack Hunter picks up the story.
