Anyone who knows the podcast knows that my absolute favourite sort of story is one which has no moral and everyone is probably doomed at the end. So this is a pretty fitting end to my time here. No happily ever afters. This my last post Continue the journey with me elsewhere!

Good old fashioned traditions! Before the wokerati stopped children biting into lit candles for Halloween. Anyone for a game of Snap Apple? An account from county Wexford from the 1930s. I love @duchas_ie

New episode out! Bonus halloween episode featuring one of the most well known supernatural English tales that terrified me as a child. Join me on a visit to the incredibly pleasing to say Croglin Grange. Listen wherever to get podcasts or on the website https://t.co/Rh4xpa62fm

Did a talk on faeries recently and ended it with this line. Such a chillingly creepy verse.
‘Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild. With a faery, hand in hand, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.’ From The Stolen Child, by YB Yeats, 1889 #BookWormSat #BookChatWeekly

Happy autumn equinox/Mabon. I shall be celebrating in the traditional way, taken from the story in which Mabon himself features most prominently: I shall be riding on the back of a giant salmon and listening to the wailing and lamenting from the dungeon. Hope yours is as good!

Retailers really need to know: savings are just not spooky! low prices and ghouls have nothing in common! Please keep your haunting halloween adjectives for e.g. your spine themed ring binders, not their cost! Fangtastically low prices and boo for one deals are fine though.

Writing a new patreon episode about this handsome fellow. This is also how I look when I'm trying to make myself instead of just reading even more sources I'll never use. (If I had any hair left) Obligatory: I have a patreon! You only pay when I actually do a member's episode!

This absolutely terrified me as a child
THE HEXHAM HEADS - In 1976, early-evening magazine show Nationwide reported on a real-life folk horror story, featuring mysterious stone heads and paranormal activity. Dr Anne Ross was interviewed and claimed a Werewolf invaded her home!

Hoping to hit up London as well but am overwhelmed with places there! No promises yet but fairly hopeful this will come off and more people find out about cannibal giants, why Kelpies are the best/worst, dodgy wrestling matches and the secret lore behind the ice age films.
