Your regular reminder that British public information films were like brutal horror films condensed into 30 second chunks, and shown during primetime (and children's) TV shows.

In 1901 a secret catalogue was being circulated among mediums so they could buy products to fake their supernormal phenomena. It was titled Gambols with the Ghosts. Items included slate-writing equipment, stuffed ghosts, self-playing guitars, self-rapping tables, etc. #Occult

1/2 #GraveLore has it that, where #gravestones are lain flat like flagstones, they are lain in this way to prevent the dead from arising from their graves and troubling the living. – at Haworth, England

The @britishmuseum receives Β£719,000 funding for exhibition on Cultural Creativity in Qing China, led by 2 British academics. It plagiarises the work of Canadian/Chinese poet & translator @yilinwriter with no credit, permission or fee. This is theft of expertise as well as work. – at Haworth, England

In June 1816, five people found themselves holed up inside a rented villa near Lake Geneva during a raging storm. They were young, they were high on romance, rebellion, wine and laudanum, spending their nights reading poetry and intense philosophical debate, but then the chatter got eerie. Lord Byron read β€˜Fantasmagoriana’, an anthology of German ghost stories to the group and subsequently proposed a supernatural story contest with Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, John Polidori and Claire Clairmont. It is alleged that around 2am on the morning of June 16, 1816, Mary Shelley tossed and turned in one of the villa’s dark rooms β€œwith the moonlight struggling to get through” closed shutters until the vision came to her and over the next year after some manic writing and rewrites Mary had turned that vision into one of humanity’s most visionary works of literature. – at Sutton in Ashfield, England

1/5 This might fella was strutting around the graveyard as I was taking a walk with Sherlock Bones the other day. One of the things I like to do while checking out the local gravestones is to see if I can match the names of those buried there with newspaper stories of the time. – at Haworth, England
