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. #ghoststories #horrorplay #horrortheatre #grandguignol

This will be my eighth consecutive time. #horrorfilmfestival #darkfest #darksidemagazine

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. #witchesofscotlandremembered

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. "It looks like something that belongs in a medium's parlour." #ovalmirror #vintagemirror #antiquemirror #gothicmirror

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. #GreenMan #pagan #PreChristian #church #medieval #medievalsky

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. #ghoststories #ghosts #gothichorror

A highly enjoyable discussion with @revpeterlaws.bsky.social called HAUNTED BY BELIEF: Why We’re Drawn to Ghosts? #ghosts #ghostculture #spectres #spirits #ouijaboard #talkingboard

Ready for the final day at London Month of the Dead....

Perfect jumper to wear for the office Xmas jumper day or party. #strangerthings #hellfireclub #hellfireclubstrangerthings #christmasjumper

Paid my respects to Ursula Southeil, popularly known as Mother Shipton, was an English soothsayer and prophetess.

Spotted this at a Local Sainsbury's in York... Go and see this brilliant show from @jamescswanton.bsky.social #charlesdickens #ghoststories

The most haunted public house in York, the most haunted city in the country and now the most haunted city in Europe. A ghost is meant to appear at the upstairs window. #ghosts

A brilliant morning meeting Sam Perrin for the first time, we have been social media buddies for a few years. Sam is also an expert in the field of cemeteries and the Gothic. A brilliant tour of what used to be the plague pits of the East End. Also, thanks to London Month of the Dead.

This super busy weekend concluded with the fascinating Ghosts of Greenwich: London's Haunted Walking Tour with Jamie, who was awesome. #ghoststories #ghosts #britishghosts

@garylachman.bsky.social does it again, with a well-researched and interesting talk on reincarnation, titled: Have We Been Here Before? #reincarnation

Brilliant talk by Gothic polymath and celebrity @katecherrell.bsky.social about the fascination of celebrity seance. #seances #seance #spiritualism #mediums #psychics #clairvoyant #spirits #celebrityseance

Following @katecherrell.bsky.social wonderful talk, as part of London Month of the Dead. #paranormal #paranormalhistorian

Managed to get @katecherrell.bsky.social signature of this excellent novel that should be adapted for the big screen. #gothicliterature #victoriangothic #spirtualism #ghoststory #mediums
