Tales of Wihtlore @wihtlore.uk · Oct 29

Wihtlore whispers of strange beings—creatures that linger in mist and shadow, unseen yet sensed. It’s the old tales of things that dwell in forgotten places, tales woven with secrets and ancient warnings. Here, every myth breathes; every legend beckons. Wihtlore is where the unknown comes alive.

When the storm rolls in from Sandown Bay, the waves whisper names long buried beneath the cliffs. Locals say if you answer the call, the sea remembers you and takes you back to where you were never meant to leave. #Folklore #FolkloreThursday

The image shows a dramatic coastal scene on the Isle of Wight, likely near Sandown. A two-lane seaside road curves gently alongside the beach, bordered by a strip of grass and palm-like trees. The sea is calm but dark, reflecting the moody sky above. Heavy storm clouds loom over the horizon, with patches of brighter sky and sunlight breaking through. The contrast between the storm and the light creates a sense of both beauty and foreboding. A sign near the shore reads “Welcome to Sandown.”

Story Context: I live on a farm that's been in my family for over 220 years. I take regular night walks with the dog and, despite having some seen some ghosties, they've always been inside.

Last full moon I took the dog out. I take no light since I know the land well enough, and we meander (1/7)

If you’re interested in what I’ve been doing lately? I’ve been working on a new steam punk musical as well as getting ready for my first gig

See below if you want to have your ear hole filled with my rubbish. 👇

Cyber Crypt Requiem @cyreq.uk · 6d

I’m playing a gig on the 31st!

I wrote a song about being a Gen Xer — no self aggrandising here:

And the year 2000 came and went,
We may suck,
That’s on us,
But at least we’re not our parents.

Anyone want to hear it?

I think it’s time to write my autobiography— this is the working title:

Things That Happened, More or Less, in Order

I’m thinking of putting together a small #Folklore Festival on the #IsleOfWight — Wyrd Wight Weekend for next summer.

What do you guys think?

Went for a walk and saw my old friend. #SandownClown #VentnorFringe

I really enjoy both to series, I agree that series 2 feels different, and it’s a bit jarring, but it still feels like a cozy hug.

The Ghost Monk @theghostmonk.bsky.social · Jul 17

Lucky you've got the electrickery connected. Series 1 is so much better than series 2. The boy in it was also in Blood On Satan's Claw (not that that is remotely relevant. Or is it?)

The last time I drank that, my wife and I ended up nearly being arrested.

Tales of Wihtlore @wihtlore.uk · Jul 13

I’m not sure where it will go, but am enjoying it.

Tales of Wihtlore @wihtlore.uk · Jul 13

That is correct.

I’m a bit obsessed by the Angel Wormwood at the moment. I’ve been writing music about it.

AP Strange @apstrange.bsky.social · Jul 13

This week's episode of The AP Strange Show is an exciting one, as I had a wonderful chat with @wihtlore.uk in which he reveals further encounters with All Colours Sam, the Sandown Ghost Clown, from one of the witnesses to the original event- a girl we only know as "Fey".

Probably in a shredder somewhere.

The #angel Wormwood fell, not by sin, but by truth too sharp for Heaven’s tongue. A #deviant among seraphs, whispered futures in ash and ink. Where it walks, stars dim; its wings drip bitterness, and flowers grow thorns. Beware its smile for it knows the end and finds it beautiful. #Folklore #vss365
