A beautiful morning in na-London today. Put me in mind of this from the archive: The spring day breaks: The wood-sprite wakes. The stay-belows slough off their sleep. Beware this spring of spiteful things - Be cautious of the deep. From Cautionary Tales for Children (1912)
Postcard from "Somewhere on the coast" inscribed in Pentecost's hand. Undated. Thought to be from 1913 - as kept in Byrne's diary from this year.

As Christmastide to widow's weeds Sinks in the days of winterdark And ghosts upon the starlight breed, Or on the moonlight cold and stark Remember that the days will grow To light again in which we sing And bear the seeds that life will sow. Remember: we shall all be kings.
Diary entry, 28 December 1904. Between the scars of the saw and wind-broken boughs, are we truly surprised Wood-Sprites mean us ill? #Hookland

Diary entry: undated, presumed August 1911 "Caught between the hammer of the sun and the anvil of the Wilderness, I feel how the lost must have been reshaped upon their flight. Despite my protestations, I realise now I was lost for too long." #Hookland #Egypt #StAugustine
Diary: 15th March 1937 "News from Boston this evening by cable. Despite our falling out, may the light of The Flame guide his steps through the darkness, and may its heat offer him succour. Safe journey, Howie." #HPLovecraft

The dancing ghost of fingertips; Remembrance of eyes, of lips Of sunlight scattered through the leaves And for time's passage my heart grieves. To spend so short a stol'n hour Within a bright, ensorcelled bower Can never fill a heart enough With joy, with light and heady love

From 'The Bones of Baleyard' (1979): Of all names, comments and banalities to be etched forever into the walls of the Upper corridor, or the desks of the anatomy theatre, the single name 'Marianne' is ubiquitous. Why this should be so in an all-boys establishment, which has...
From 'The Bones of Baleyard' (1979): "Every generation of boys erects its own totemic master, its own lurking dragon. Carforth, late of the Afghan campaigns, latterly of Attic Greek, was ours. Between Platonic declensions and Doric rants, we were all left in his bewilderness."
O shimm'ring object of my lust Who passes on the omnibus, I wish for more than hands to hold, For whispered secrets to be told For you in my love to enfold! Juvenilia, 1906. It is untitled, but the letters C and N are written in a heart beneath the poem. C remains unidentified.

Flower faery propaganda rarely works on Hooklanders. Children of the county are aware that spring's blue carpet covers a ghost soil home to Growl-bones, waiting Widren. Yet they also know not to pick a bluebell in case its ringing summons an elf to lead them astray. #Folklore
At the wild edges of the county, some churches wear their hats at a crooked angle, lose tiles to witch-called winds. They offer shelter to lost gods wearing the discarded names of unfashionable saints. In their shivering, a coughing of ghosts. – #CLolan
Goodnight from Poppy Blackwood, marking manhole covers on Ashcourt’s Theedbrook Street with sigils to stop steam shades manifesting. Goodnight from Harold Grant, desperate for sleep now that darkness brings the sound of a bone-flute that only he can hear. Goodnight from Hookland.
Sleepover survived. Brother and nieces popped over. Swimming done. Shopping done. I'm cancelling the rest of afternoon 😴
The alleged home tree of the Wood Sprite Absalom the Smotherer. It is said his favourite appeasements are bread with apple butter, tin toys and river-tossed toad bones.
Some of the old abbeys transitioned into grand parish churches. Places of pilgrimage to lost saints or shrines to the Old King. Stone spirit houses of a land uncomfortable with its ghosts, with the possibility of collective loss of memory. – #DAKilroy
What some never get is that you aren't buying thatched-charm, a sense of chocolate box, Enid blooming Blyton England. What you're buying is pages in time's unfolding story. What you're buying is ghosts. – Joanna Vickers #VOH
Goodnight from Lucy Wayland, making a circle of conkers and orange peel around her bed to keep away dreams of the Cobweb-stitched woman. Goodnight from Sophie Cope, experiencing pure terror as something seems to have pressed the pause button on time. Goodnight from Hookland.
Goodnight from Harry Stitcher, suddenly much more worried about Northmoor’s ghosts than criminals hijacking his truck full of cigarettes. Goodnight from Helen Bridge, unable to sleep due to a certainty her home used to have an extra room that’s vanished. Goodnight from Hookland.
They call the rocks the Salt-hag's Hand or Old Mother Seagrave's Seat. They say she spent her working life upon them whistling winds, summoning storms. Neither fully of the sea or shore as is the way with sea witches.
Moel Ty-Uchaf, above Llandrillo, Denbighshire. A cairn circle, not a true stone circle, and there are plenty of other cists to see on the climb up too, which in a way made it feel more like Dartmoor than N Wales! #StandingStoneSunday
The moat is emptied. Wooden bridge replaced with stone. Once watery doom becomes solid walking. Yet the castle's temporal shades ignore this. They still float in lanterned boats. They still cry out as they drown again in now dry space. Ghost time is always dangerous. – #CJosiffe
I love the fact that a new entry for the Hookland Encyclopaedia can legitimately mention the legendary @PatMillsComics, Tibetan esoteric Buddhism and the fact that in its collective imagination, the English people were still fighting a war with Germany until September 1st, 2001.
Even along and across the coast from Dedwick, people claim to hear the sunken bells of its drowned churches. Tolling tide turn. Doom ringing as storm augury, as warning of the coming of the King-Under-the-Sea.
Goodnight from the Pagan Pounding drumming circle, where pent up jealousy has led to a violent row about which rhythm the goddess Nerthus likes. Goodnight from Edward Hardy, regretting letting the kids stay up to watch an episode of Glass Corridor. Goodnight from Hookland.
I don't care how many times I'm told Stay Belows go to mud in the winter, you'd never catch me throwing stones into Egreaves Pool at any time of the year. – Richard Chard #VOH (Picture 'Place of the Stay Belows', 1982 by Hookland artist Lou Kemp)
Not only are the tunnels connecting the Adelard observatory in Weychester botantical gardens by underground railway to Woden College said to be haunted, but the building itself is shaded. Many claim to have seen a shadow climb the stairs at the observatory - #CJosiffe
