Watching the @nunkie.bsky.social live broadcasts of an M. R. James story is one of my favourite holiday traditions.
I buy tickets for my family in Wisconsin so we can watch together from opposite sides of the Atlantic.
I hope you'll join us!

I went in search of Wiltshire's last mortsafe. It's in Sutton Veny in the graveyard of St Leonard's church ruins.
But, did it stop 18th & 19th century body snatchers or was it to stop the dead from returning? 🧟
Personally I like the idea that it is keeping a vampire hostage! 🧛♂️

This is what a newly launched batch of Starlink satellites looks like on our #MeteorCameras. All night stacked images are from 21 Sept '25, Oxfordshire, UK. Behind the crud the cameras captured 127 & 160 meteors respectively. Fortunately RMS software is good at filtering out junk

The comet “Veru”, from a 16th-century treatise on comets. Now known as Swift-Tuttle, the comet's been described as "the single most dangerous object known to humanity" (though chances of it hitting Earth are still v. v. small).

Paul Lee is seeking anyone who might have seen the edition of Nationwide on the ghosts of RAF Bircham Newton/CITB in Norfolk, broadcast in late 1971/early 1972. He's also keen to hear from anyone who heard Jack de Manio's BBC radio shows on the subject at that time.

Took a trip to the Essex countryside on Saturday and visited a certain church in a certain village. We received a lovely welcome. No spooks were in evidence. #Borley
