People don’t want to live in Haines House. It isn’t due to the temperamental lifts or concrete cancer. It isn’t even because of the black mould that sent one former resident so insane he claimed it was sentient. No. People don’t want to live in Haines House because of the ghosts.

When people talk of crime families they think in terms of criminals. They don’t consider crime families in terms of generational coppers. A being born into a place of opposition. The Spratlings are a coppering family. Their heads have even adapted to the helmets. - #DSCallaghan

That bit on the canal as it passes the back of the Haines Estate is notoriously ghost-troubled. Not just your usual phantoms - navvies, exhausted horses drowned babies - but the dismembered spirits of gangland killings dumped in suitcases. A sodden desire to come together again.

The shifting city that remakes itself behind your back. The city where no road runs the same way twice. We spiv magicians know all about that. We have our navigations. - Paris Smith

New religions crawling from the television. New languages of night emerging from the constant engine static of traffic system circuits and buzz of the sodium orange lights. This is a future easy to predict and harder to avoid. - Byron Geth of the Temple of Obsidian Transmissions

The biggest gang in any city is always the police. Also, always the one with some of the biggest bastards. - #DSCallaghan

In Repton, members of the Clockmakers Guild were known by the same name as was given in the trade to the inner workings of the machines they built - Complications. It was also the name taken by their magical lodge within the borough.

Bone-dancing along the scream of the city’s concrete lip. All the secret languages of the street - traffic stutter, iron railing sigils, paving stone hieroglyphs - filling me with stories. London is a place of wonders for all its bruises. - Paris Smith, Spiv Magician

The London Dockland Development Corporation has still failed to put forward any plans for the future of the ‘Doom Wharfs’ as the old moorings for plague ships have become known to locals. - Repton Recorder, February, 1982

In the 19th century, there was said to be a certain sail-maker near St. Alphege’s Docks who could stitch spells into lug and square sails that rendered a boat invisible to pirates or custom men. If not delivering invisibility, the spells worked well enough in terms of blind eyes.

When we descend the city we travel in time. Traverse layers of story, layers of information. Each step down is a movement in years, a navigation through ghost soil. - #DAKilroy

There are certain streets of the city that whisper cruel curses when you walk them. Malign sigils activated by walking. Stretches where soot sentience has invaded brick and wishes nothing but ill in those who pass it by. - #CLNolan, 1886

Repton’s Scadford Basin collects ghosts like some pin butterflies to velvet. Each ship visiting its dock seems to land a new spirit. From phantom marmoset to the scratching drag of peg-leg seamen, haunting is as much its business as degeneracy. - Sir Edward Linton, 1896

In London, words are swapped between a hundred languages to create a new living dictionary. It’s the same with spirits. London’s streets write a grimoire of the world. - ‘DQ’ Vincent, spiv magician

All those London’s supposedly lost to willed erasure badged as redevelopment are still there. Unquiet ghosts refusing to crowded out by constant stutter of traffic, vapidities of al fresco dining. Those London are our constant whisper and sometimes they scream. - D.A. Kilroy

The little window box of herbs grown in tenement or tower block is no less sacred space than some imagined sacred grove. The urban witch works with what she has and her magics are no poorer for it. - Astrid Drake, ‘Kissing The Toad’, Weird Preservation Society, 1978
