A goth poltergeist! 🖤
Come with me back to my hometown of Newcastle for a truly chilling poltergeist case. It's 1997, and a house of disaffected goths are about to experience something that really will make their hair stand on end😱👻😱

Great night at Uncanny Live : Fear of the Dark with @dannyrobins.bsky.social in Bristol. It was an entertaining and polished show that left me curious and inspired.

Uncanny Live ready! Some might say I'm dressed too brightly to be spooky, but look closer: this dress is haunted! 👻 They have a room with a chandelier for the meet & greet, & the queue is almost as long as the one to see the Queen laying in state. #uncannycommunity #Uncanny @dannyrobins.bsky.social

Alan Garner's Collected Folk Tales: "Do not use near overhead power lines."
That's one volatile book... must be due to all the esoteric wisdom within!

What! A local Shuck!
The village of Hallen - just a little bit north of Bristol, is said to be haunted by a huge phantom hound.
The bizarre creature was first reported in 1908 and is said to have glowing, red eyes and to walk on its hind legs. On two occasions, witnesses claimed the beast transformed into a donkey…

Visited haunted Biggleswade for @weirdinthewade.bsky.social live with guest @owenstaton.bsky.social. Loved hearing demon-dog tales by Natalie & Owen, seeing some of my photos used, and meeting fellow fans at the haunted pub. A wonderfully weird weekend!

Wycombe Paranormal at Amersham Paranormal Convention: great talks on fairies, vampires, witches, haunted cemeteries, green children & poltergeists. Lovely to catch up with friends. Visited Ruth Ellis' grave (marker sadly gone) and wandered the church & town. #amershamparacon #paranormalcommunity

As Somerset’s October skies go dark & lanterns bob, a mischievous chant rises: “It’s Punkie Night tonight. Give us a candle, give us a light.” Curious why locals carve punkies, how the custom links to older traditions, & what it reveals about Halloween? Read:

On the last Thursday in October Somerset kids still roam with carved mangelwurzel lanterns, singing old chants and lighting the lanes. Punkie Night feels like a passed-down secret, part spooky, part joyful. Read why it endures: wp.me/py3eK-u3
