It is perverse to celebrate the buildings that persist through time in most English villages, but disparage stories of spirits that come with them. If a cult of half-timbered wattle and daub is worthy, so is a cultus for their phantom inhabitants. – C. Josiffe, 1935 #Ghosts https://t.co/BalDnNfsew

@Stealinghome @MariaStrutz I like to think that some churches begin to remember what they were before spire and tower, before stained glass and lectern, in these old acts.

@Elisabe52245554 There‰Ûªs a Ghost Preservation Society In Hookland. DI Callaghan doesn‰Ûªt like them, but that‰Ûªs mainly to do with them bombing property developers, rather than their ghost preservation policies.

For it is the morning after the harvest moon and the heading of the corn. Not only the churches wear the trappings of the field. Corn magic hangs in every parish. Old gods songs are heard clearer today. – #CLNolan https://t.co/sROfVDJFbS

Autumn’s borders have come to the canal. Wood smoke cures the nostrils of towpath walkers. The huddled houseboat communities of ex-Ragged Walkers and those of water gypsy stock tell stories of eel-nibbled corpses, the things that knock on their boats at night. https://t.co/6WPNXua8G5
