Alan Garner's Collected Folk Tales: "Do not use near overhead power lines."

That's one volatile book... must be due to all the esoteric wisdom within!

Visited haunted Biggleswade for @weirdinthewade.bsky.social live with guest @owenstaton.bsky.social. Loved hearing demon-dog tales by Natalie & Owen, seeing some of my photos used, and meeting fellow fans at the haunted pub. A wonderfully weird weekend!

Wycombe Paranormal at Amersham Paranormal Convention: great talks on fairies, vampires, witches, haunted cemeteries, green children & poltergeists. Lovely to catch up with friends. Visited Ruth Ellis' grave (marker sadly gone) and wandered the church & town. #amershamparacon #paranormalcommunity

As Somerset’s October skies go dark & lanterns bob, a mischievous chant rises: “It’s Punkie Night tonight. Give us a candle, give us a light.” Curious why locals carve punkies, how the custom links to older traditions, & what it reveals about Halloween? Read:

On the last Thursday in October Somerset kids still roam with carved mangelwurzel lanterns, singing old chants and lighting the lanes. Punkie Night feels like a passed-down secret, part spooky, part joyful. Read why it endures: wp.me/py3eK-u3

Finishing off my Halloween post tonight and it is related to this strange looking crop. But what could they be and how do they link to this season?

Quick archive share while I finish this year’s Halloween post. Enjoy a throwback: a ghoulish dive into Oweynagat Cave, Irish roots of Samhain, Nera’s eerie night, and how rituals became Halloween traditions. Read more: ghostcatcherisles.substack.com/p/from-the-a...

Really enjoyed this Blur themed episode of Hot Press Classics with Paul Nolan and my pal Kilian Muphy. It had me reminiscing about the second gig I ever attended, which was Blur at the Ocean Rooms in Gorleston in 1995. #blur #hotpressclassics #hotpress #podcast

1/5 Recently, we discovered an unwanted visitor in our kitchen, munching on our seeded bread. We’re not fans of traps, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I think I must have been researching woodwoses and the Green Man too much recently as Facebook has now started marketing me this "specialist" woodwose item. It appears to be a "I've got wood-wose"!
(I have added a flower for modesty)

Also, is he inflating it with a bagpipe? 🤔 #rude #woodwose

I haven't treated myself to a new @matlockghost.bsky.social ghost in ages, but couldn't resist "Autumn Grace". And look at the adorable baby ghost they sent as a free gift! 😍👻
