Loved Tonight's talk by @bronteschiltz.bsky.social discussing Televisual Gothic: Medication, Manipulation and Exploitation in British Broadcasting.

Special thanks to @miskatonicihs.bsky.social and @joshsaco.bsky.social for organising and hosting this event.

I really enjoyed the lunchtime talk by @msromany.bsky.social titled '(Séance) Room of One’s Own' that covered the origins of British spiritualism and how it inspired women's rights at the turn of the last century.

I hope Dr Romany Reagan will do more of these kinds of talks.

Got these during my visit to Gothic York.

I now have 7 Ouija boards (spirit boards).

A great evening tonight at the 50th anniversary of the Dracula Society dinner.

The event also celebrated Bram Stoker's 178th birthday.

Last night I went to see Even More Ghost Stories By Candlelight.

Four contemporary ghost stories that were linked and performed by two thespians.

The creepiest story for me has to be Cold Oak Lane by Simon Longman, which is folk horror.

My pride and joy. Special thanks to the Witches of Scotland for manufacturing this tartan scarf that is very important.

The tartan colours honour those persecuted as witches in Scotland between 1563 and 1736.

Charity shop find.

This is a genuine find and not a reproduction. It also cost me £9.99.

I believe this must have been made during the Edwardian era.

To start the week, a smiley Green Man (or rather yellow) I found at Abbey Dore in #Herefordshire. The abbey dates back to the 12th Century but was expanded a century later. The Green Man perhaps therefore dates from the 13th Century.

Absolutely loved @adamzed.bsky.social DARKNESS & LIGHT: Ghost Stories, which showcased two ghost stories, in the vein of M.R. James and Edith Nesbit, inside a creepy chapel that captured the imagination of this enthralling performance.
