Happy Birthday Washington Irving!
243 years old.
Born on this day in 1783, Irving became one of Americaโs earliest short story trailblazers.
Heโs best known for classics like "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and honestlyโฆ donโt lose your head over this one. ๐

#PhantomFriday ๐ป
Along the misty edge of Deadmanโs Bay in Kingston, Ontario, shadows walk where no living soul standsโฆ
On quiet nights, figures are seen drifting through the fogโgone the moment you draw near. ๐ป
Some believe they are the restless dead, forever tied to the water that claimed them.
A photograph of an F-4S Phantom II fighter aircraft of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron VMFA-115, the Silver Eagles flying over the ocean. The aircraft is light gray with redd accents around the canopy, and a red white and blue stripe with a stylized eagle on the tail. It is armed with Sidewinder missiles and is carrying a drop tank.
YES PLEASE.
Oh hey it's PHRIDAY

The ghost of Mary still haunts the shores of St. Simons Island. After her beloved was lost to a stormy sea, she took her own life in despair. Now, she walks the moonlit beaches, lantern held high, forever waiting for a return that will never come. #PhantomFriday #StSimonsIsland #Georgia #Folklore
Happy Friday the 13th! ๐โโฌ๐ค
The black cat was revered long before it was feared.
Phantom the black cat was a pet of this actor.
Friday the 13th merely inherited the myth.
Shadows donโt equal misfortune.

The Headless Horseman throws a pumpkin at Ichabod Crane. A painting by John Quidor.
In the original short story and the Disney movie, the legend of the Headless Horseman says that he carries his own severed head. That Ichabod Crane gets hit by a pumpkin instead is a big clue that he's being attacked by a disguised Brom Bones instead of by the real Horseman.

A banshee weeps outside an old Irish castle. Illustration by Thomas Crofton Croker.
A banshee is a fairy or phantom from Irish folklore who bonds with a specific family. She heralds the deaths of the family's members by sobbing, wailing, and shrieking. The banshee appears as a long-haired woman with a ghastly complexion and eyes red from weeping.

Beneath the duckweed, still and green,
Where light fades out and none have seen,
Ginny waits with emerald grinโ

USAF QF-4E Phantom of the 82nd Aerial Targets Squadron. Name of pilot Lt Col. J.D. "Bare" Lee is painted under the front seat of the cockpit and the red and yellow 82nd ATRS Squadron logo is painted on the side of the air intake. QF-4's could be piloted remotely or manned as other aircraft shot air-to-air missiles at them. Heck of a job! Photo by @machspeed.bsky.social
"Okay, J.D., here's the thing. We want you to fly this Phantom while we shoot missiles at you."
~82nd ATRS recruiter, probably.

Yellow background illustration of a pointy-eared dog with a long muzzle, looking directly at the viewer.
#PhantomFriday #ForteanFriday In the early 1900s, the Hoodoo Dog of Louisville, Kentucky, a small yellow mongrel, terrorized the town. Any man he befriended would quickly die by violence. The dog died in 1911, with 13 victims, but his ghost continued to haunt.

On Valentine's Eve in old English folklore, run around a church 12x at midnightโif done right, the phantom of your future lover appears as a ghost.
Miss it, and who knows what spirit shows up instead?

Ontario's eerie Ghost Road Concession 12, Scugog near Port Perry. Drivers at night spot a glowing white orb floating along the dirt road chasing cars! Legend ties it to a 1950s motorcycle crash where a young man was decapitated, his spirit still searching with his headlight.

The Yule Cat's Shadow is OUT NOW! ๐
A curse woven in black wool. โซ
It binds the idle, threads through dreams,
A Haunted wool that remembers.
Icelandic horror visits Wales โ grab it before the threads find you! ๐โโฌโซ
