I really enjoyed this recording this podcast episode on Scottish UFOs: the host, Rick Palmer, had lots of thoughtful questions for me, and he also has a great backlist of previous conversations with academics studying paranormal culture @davidwclarke.bsky.social @glasgow.ac.uk

Wyrdlings!

Some things are set in stone. Or wood. Or bone. You name it, since this week:

"Carvings, Inscriptions & Writings on the Wall"

is our #WyrdWednesday topic – so, tell us tales of wyrd bas-reliefs, strange runes on artefacts and otherworldy hieroglyphs found in deep dungeons!

The Ghosts of Savernake Forest Mega Blog - Weird Wiltshire Join me and my intreprid canine adventurers, seeking out the ghostly spots of the ancient and ethereal Savernake Forest.

Since there wasn't enough time to tell Radio Four about all the ghosts in the ethereal Savernake Forest, I created a blog instead!
Heads up, this is a MEGA blog. There are an awful lot of weird stories connected to this eerie place and it's ancient trees. 👻🌳👻

Jim FitzPatrick's the Coming of Lugh, showing a ghostly white/blue-skinned man with flowing dark hair and a magic sword and shield producing his Iron Age armor and weapons to the viewer as the steps out of the Irish dark.

Jim FitzPatrick's the Coming of Lugh, showing a ghostly white/blue-skinned man with flowing dark hair and a magic sword and shield producing his Iron Age armor and weapons to the viewer as the steps out of the Irish dark.

Lugh Lamhfada was the last great hope of the Tuatha de Dannan: prophecized to kill his grandfather, Balor of the Evil Eye, and free his people from the bondage of the monstrous Formorians, and make the Emerald Isle green at last. #WyrdWednesday

Gaston Bussiere's Brunnhild, holding her sword and dressed in golden armor, surrounded by the fires Sigurd would rescue her from

Gaston Bussiere's Brunnhild, holding her sword and dressed in golden armor, surrounded by the fires Sigurd would rescue her from

Sigurd rescued Brunhilde under the guise of his friend Gunther, whom she married thinking he was her hero. When she discovered the truth, she made it her goal to destroy Sigurd and all happiness he had, as much out of anger as unrequited love. #LegendaryWednesday

Pubs. I think the values around pub culture have been ignored. Generosity in buying a pint for someone, community, care for the elderly, celebration/commiseration. They are central to our soaps but have disappeared from our lives. Also, looking nice.
