Fascinating (terrifying is also available) case. I guess you know you're in trouble when your mum tries to reassure you by saying it was probably a burglar trying to break into the house.

Thanks mum.

Cool...

G'night then...

Imagine being told the "deliverance team" is going to fix your haunting and 2 guys with banjos turn up.

Try this as an experiment, mention to neighbours, even casually, that the street might be haunted, and watch the chaos ensue.

I ALWAYS check the kettle isn't in the garden before I leave the house.

one of my favorite stories is when we went on a cruise for mom’s 60th and my brother and i stayed up on the deck all night and watched the drunkest dude we’d ever seen (so far) get arrested and yell “why? i’m not driving the boat!” and i say that so often

Anyone who's seen the classic "Whistle and I'll come to you" starring Michel Hordern, will know why whenever I see a bone on a beach, I have this overwhelming impulse to blow it.

Every time I see a strange bone on a coastal holiday, I think - I bet I could get a tune out of that.

Image shows a still taken from the 1960's TV adaptation of the M.R. James ghost story, "Whistle and I'll come to you." It shows the actor Michael Hordern holding a bone whistle, which he's about to blow, and that's if I don't get to it first.

When you decide to go for a nice relaxing walk along the beach, and suddenly it all goes a bit M.R. James...

Picture shows an image of some beach sand, pebbles, a few rocks, and a small blackened animal bone (there are no other kinds of bone), washed up by the tide. It's probably from a sheep, but still haunted. The bone is haunted, this beach is now haunted, as is this photo, this post, and your home, I'm sorry.

Jeff, could you please do me a favour and email me, so I can have your email address. For some reason, my email has misplaced yours and it's doing my absolute nut in.

Ta.

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.

One consistent thing this time of year is that there are crows everywhere. I spend a lot of time thinking about crows. They have the most obnoxious vocalizations of maybe any animal, they’re aesthetically unpleasant and feel like a harbinger of death, and they know when they’re bothering you and they enjoy doing it. Drives me crazy how well they’ve adapted to LA. I saw one just this week going through a garbage can, methodically picking items out of it one by one and tossing them on the ground, looking for foodstuffs. It was making a horrible mess, a mess you’d normally associate with humans. They’re such a pest, and the worst part is you have to respect it. They’re fat and happy and they thrive. They’re annoying in a way that suggests profound intelligence. If they could get around to inventing money, they should get tickets for littering. Treated like equals. I have met crows that should be in jail. There’s one in my neighborhood that seems to have a problem with me personally. They’re my favorite bird.

I have an email address that is older than some of my colleagues.

My actual bones cried out in terror when I found that out.
