Took the @hobnobpress.bsky.social new book to the site of Peter Pain's poltergeist on Mary le Port Street, now Castle Park, Bristol- it's still quite a noisy place! #IKnowWhatISaw
Photograph of book, The Rise of the English Poltergeist by Andrew Pickering open at illustration of Mary le Port Street taken at the site of Mary le Port Street. Church is behind trees and hoardings (photographer facing the right direction- honest!). Cover of The Rise of the English Poltergeist by Andrew Pickering showing a very cute winged demon beating a drum. The demon is referred to in the book as 'Mr Mompesson's goblin' in reference to a reputed haunting of Tidworth, Wiltshire. Background is the tower of St Peter's Church, Castle Park, Bristol from what was Mary le Port Street. Photographer facing away from Mary le Port Church. Tower of Mary le Port Church, Bristol behind a 1970s office block and building site hoardings.

Spotted earlier today. Christmas has arrived early and weirdly in Cardiff.
