Back to the shade realm you must go
But do not quail & have no fear
For you return with each passing year
In the meantime, there's the all seasons crew
Everyday phantoms like me & you.'👻

In Salzburg, Austria, Christmas involves both St. Nick and Krampus, a mythological punisher with roots stretching back to late antiquity and many fans in the present-day Central Alps.
It's Christmastime — and if you live in the Alps, watch out! Krampus is coming

In London a time comes every day where the ghosts get their own back. It's often subtle but always undeniable, and it's strongest in autumn & winter.
If you're ever at loose ends on Christmas Eve, pay respects at St Michael's Cornhill. Because here, down the alley, was Scrooge's counting house.

Wondering what to send your friends and loved ones for #Christmas? I’m not sure that we should take advice from the papers of the past, which reported on some strange and macabre Christmas presents–-like human ashes.

This Victorian Christmas greeting card showing children staring at the dead body of a robin—typically a symbol of hope and good cheer—captures the 2025 holiday vibe:

The imagery of the blood red stars behind the speakers at this nazi rally reminds me of the bloody elevator scene from The Shining.

Saying this as someone whose aesthetic is year-around-Halloween and who enjoys a horror movie more than any Oscar baity drama, this is f**king dark.
TPUSA recreated the booth where Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, and attendees lined up to take selfies in it. So weird.

COFFIN COLLARS like this one were used to thwart bodysnatchers in the early 19th century. The collar was fixed around the neck of a corpse and bolted to the bottom of a coffin, making it nearly impossible to remove the body from its grave. Bodysnatchers sold corpses to medical schools. #skystorians
