Illustration by Shigeru Mizuki of a tree with round fruits each with a human face.
Illustration of a tree in a rocky landscape. On the tree are peach-like fruits, each with a human face.
In #JapaneseFolklore there is a #yokai tree known as jinmenju. It has flowers that look like human heads. If you laugh at the tree, the heads will laugh back. However, if you make them laugh too much, they'll wilt and fall off before bearing their face-shaped fruit.

On the well manicured golf green sits a gold tee and ball. The ball is marked "Spiderlest." On the ball sits an absolutely adorable spider (adorable if you aren't an arachnophobe). The title reads "Caddy Long-Legs."

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! Burnt out pro-golfer Redd befriends the spider who lives in the clubhouse. Through some inexplicable connection the spider gives great golf tips, and the pro becomes a golf instructor, in 1988’s “Caddy Long-Legs.”
Saddened to learn - courtesy of Fortean Times - that Tony 'Doc' Shiels has passed away. "Monstrum" was a highly formative book for me and I still occasionally scrawl 'nnidnid' on random surfaces.
Promotional image for an event titled "The X Trials: Law and the Supernatural" on 19 October from 7-9 PM. The background shows a historic stone castle at night, with a large, glowing full moon in the top right corner and a star-filled sky, giving a mysterious and supernatural vibe. At the top, a dark purple banner contains the event title in bold, white, spooky-style text, followed by the subtitle and date details in a smaller font. A QR code is located in the bottom right corner. The overall design creates a haunting and intriguing atmosphere.
Come see us at Colchester Castle on the 19th of October from 7 to 9 PM for a fascinating look at the connection between law and the supernatural with barrister Naomi Ryan. We'll be diving into some pretty strange legal cases involving witches, ghosts, and more!
🎨 Painting "Sounds of Autumn" (秋聲圖), by artist Wen Huiming (文徵明) (1470 — 1559) 人有山行墮深澗者，無出路，飢餓欲死。左右見龜蛇甚多，朝暮引頸向東方，人因伏地學之，遂不飢，體殊輕便，能登巖岸。經數年後，竦身舉臂，遂超出澗上，即得還家。顏色悅懌，頗更黠慧勝故。還食穀，啖滋味，百餘日中復本質。 ~《博物志 卷十》
