Absolutely adored #InsideNo9 Stage/Fright yesterday. Funny, scary and brilliant stage craft.

Danny what were the lights/orbs flashing around you when you were at the grave of the children? I had to rewind to check what I’d seen. Gave me chills. Such a sad set of events. Great episode.

Happy New Year! Love that this pod is back - it’s my absolute favourite and John Thomson was a joy! Thanks you guys.

FACT: The Jools Holland New Year Boglewogles were all recorded in a batch in 1996. They just guessed what was going to happen and used makeup to make the guests age realistically. Jools himself is one of the fair folk, and reportedly sleeps in a mirror.

Oh no. Love you. Roll on Thursday night! 🧛 x

A wood edge of winter-boned trees that seem to have taken fright at the fog that drifts in from the edge of the common. Distance now means uncertainty.

Fog makes even the familiar wood edge an unsure place. Pareidolia lensing is imposed. New forms and faces emerge. Internal prayers are offered that none of the looming shapes are the Hoarse Hag.

I will definitely be asleep.

Can’t blame me for hoping! Just love the show so much!

The Dauphin!

Ok so you said ‘second’ rather than ‘final’. Does this mean there are yet more Christmas specials?!

Yay! Thanks! What a treat! Merry Christmas x

Is there another Christmas special? With Reece Shearsmith? Have I dreamt this?! 🤪

One at Ryde Academy, @wihtlore.uk

Of course it is! This is great!

@loremen.bsky.social please tell me the wizard hat anecdote is true!

The dunes near Hoare Point are known as ‘the Dooms’. Some say the name's given for its sand-swallowed village, its sunken oratory. Others say it's for the plague dead burials the wind sometimes bullies into revelation. Me, I reckon it's down to the Hoarse Hag wandering it. – Mark Lester #VOH

You know I’ll be there! Love it!

Glass is a ghost-holder. Its fused silica, its sodium carbonate entangles past and future. An amorphous prison for shades out of time. Of all gateways that give glimpse onto the enfolding world of spirits, none is more common in our homes nor more particular in its peculiarities. – #CJosiffe

The Stately Ghosts of England - Part 1 (Longleat House) YouTube video by Slate-writer

The Stately Ghosts of England is a somewhat forgotten book written by Diana Norman, who was married to the BBC film man Barry Norman who once included Todd Haynes Safe in his Turkeys of the year, so I'm much more team Diana.

I love this short documentary beyond reason

These are great! Thanks for sharing.

Every day not spent reading Edgar Allan Poe by the fire in a seaside cottage during a raging thunderstorm is a day wasted.

Smersh ep about Love Actually was sublime. Your reading of it is perfect.

Do you know the song Magpie by the Unthanks? It’s superb x
