Everyone having a good sing song. What are they chatting about?

Bramble roots vs cast steel: who will win?

Listening with joy to the new @backlisted.bsky.social podcast with @jasonhazeley.bsky.social discussing All The Devils Are Here. It's a brilliant read, and never before have I finished a book which has affected me profoundly but at the same time I've not really been able to describe what it's about

And on the east side there's Folkestone Harbour station, which is still there, beautifully restored, and hub of the very excellent Harbour Arm arts-based regeneration project. It won't be seeing a train anytime soon, tho.

As usual my favourite bits are the closed real-life railway stations - Cheriton Halt here used to serve the Elham Valley line up to Canterbury South, which is now where Kent & Canterbury hospital is

Breakfast time is for proofing my new imaginary tubemap in time for Christmas markets. Just a quick home inkjet print is enough to check for spelling, design, weird stuff errors. Not bad tho, quite pleased with it.

And also this, which is brilliant, and is an excellent overview of hauntings from a nostalgic, political, capitalist and literature point of view, drawing all the threads together. It makes the point that hauntings and Freudian psychoanalysis are closely entwined.

Can I thoroughly recommend this? It's the book that really illuminated the subject for me, making the observation that ghosts are coloured by sociocultural influences, folklore, and expectation, suggesting their tangibility is unlikely. And yet we still see them. @skionar.bsky.social is the author.

Very proud to finally be able to say that a new podcast project is up and ready for listening! This has been a labour of love for the last two or three years on and off and represents a lot of work both for me and the charity who have researched and funded it. Here's a trailer:

Working in the very, very old hamlet of Woodnesborough in the Kentish backlands. It is a thin place. The Ringlemere cup was found just a stone's throw away. Not sure if someone wants it back.

Went hunting for northern lights last night but didn't find any (I'm based right down in the south of England). I did however find a haunted windmill tho

Listening to the new Discomfort Blanket about the Prisoner and this has just appeared from absolutely nowhere. Should I run?

Working in gardens today and found a cheeky jack-o'. What's that thing to next to him?
Makeshift spirit detector

Went walking today north of Broadstairs beach at very low tide and came across these stairs cut through a tunnel in the chalk cliffs.

Where do they go?

Quick thread...
