White rabbits, white rabbits - it's the first of the month, and that's particularly exciting because it means my article in @hauntedmagazine is going out to the world! It was such an honour to write this, can't wait for people to read it. #UncannyCommunity.

I'm sharing a new kind of story tonight, my first interview for the project! It was a pleasure to talk to renowned poet and filmmaker Wade Radford about his teenage ghost hunting days, what MK means to him, and why EVPs are so very scary. #UncannyCommunity.

On my way back from the pub, I was innocently walking through the park in Milton Keynes when I came across an unexpected ghost-busting gathering. I wonder if they caught any?! Everyone knows MK is the last place that would be haunted, right? @ciaranokeeffe #UncannyCommunity

New story time! 'Bless The Light' is included in this new Modern Folklore anthology from @commapress and is all about rituals, protection and pride - and something hateful that waits for the darkness to fold in.

I’m building up rather a lot of these - 33 at the last count! - but if you have one of your own, do head over here and share it!.
Wherever you live, there’ll be a local ghost story or two. Some well-known, some not so. They could be ghost stories of old, or modern hauntings. Just like “Flat Cap” from my town in the 1970s. It made the local paper. What’s your #LocalGhostStory? Please do share & tell.

Very exciting news: I'm going to be one of the 'experts' at this excellent @IFMKfest event! So, if you'd like a slightly more than one-in-four chance of chatting to me about MK's poltergeists, spooks and haunted shops, come along! #UncannyCommunity.

I didn't realise these photos I took the other week would become historic artefacts quite so soon. I'm glad that the site will be used for something now, but it is always sad to see an old landmark vanish.
