He presents my retelling of my mum's eerie experience in a Norfolk care home in this. Please pick up a copy from Amazon.

It's #Uncanny on the telly again.

You can see the presenter absolutely knows it's all bullshit as he say 'listen to this case! Could it be a real ghost?'

I kinda like me a ghost story though. They fun. And I like the scary thoughts.

Edward Parnell's “Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country” is an excellent, genre-blending book, that brings together nature and travel writing, literary and cultural history, exploration of the supernatural, plus the added element of memoir. It’s filled with the sense of love, wonder, and appreciation for England’s landscapes and the ghostly tales that quietly echo through its forests, hills and moors.

Juan Rulfo's classic novella 'Pedro Páramo' is a masterfully written ghost story, that works its language and plotting like silly putty.

This #GhostStoriesForChristmas had some human-baby-headed blood-drinkng spiders in it.

Twas a bit weird.

It's called The Ash Tree (1975)

So I watched The Treasure of Abbott Thomas (1974)

It was quite fun. The ghost turned out to be a sludge monster.

The thing is, the stories are quite slow, and could easily be told in a shorter amount of time, if they removed a lot of the chaff.

It was basically a cursed treasure story, and an old story at that, but it would have been nice if they'd put some new ideas into it.

Let's hear your area # folklore or #ghoststories please!

So I watched Lost Hearts (1973) and it had this boy going to this old house and the man there was all weird and creepy and manic and the boy kept seeing these ghost children.

Then the boy and girl ghosts are all blue with long nails and they do this funky swaying dance to the music of the hurdy-gurdy.

And the alive boy goes into a trance and they show him their wounds on their chests.

Quite fun, that one.

Ima gonna watch some more #BBC Christmas Ghost Stories.

I've seen about three I think. I rewatched one. It was OK. A lot of filler and it could been shorter and sharper.

And it also lacked a bit of punch. It had something to so with wooden carving in a church, but their significance didn't really hit hard.

It was still quite fun though.

I'm looking forward to delving into this pair of ghostly treats!
