Some say the bogs are haunted at night by the glow of lost souls, will-oβ-the-wisps (ignis fatuus) luring unwary travelers to their doom.
π¨Teodoro Wolf Ferrari (1897)

Comforted by song,
We walk along the sea edge,
Low tide treasures strewn.

Is it plugged in? Does it sit in the corner, tethered to the wall with a frayed cord. A glimmering box that stutters and spits. Pandora in modern day splashed in neon. Hope long gone but patience still lingering. Everything else roaming the worldβ¦

A stark, simple scene dominated by luminous pearly yellow sky over a Kent Lane. Oast houses stand in near silhouette and the countryside is dotted with Elm trees and some early fruit trees in blossom.

In late summer new #bumblebee queens mate before hibernating.
The queen stores the sperm collected in her body until she chooses how to use it the following year.
This choice determines the sex of her offspring.

Goodnight Hookland. Rest well.
Goodnight from The Last Number nightclub, its doormen well-versed in the dark arts of keeping more than aled up bastards from crossing its threshold. Goodnight from Cherry Lane in Childford, the trees singing cradle songs to its sleeping Moss Maiden. Goodnight from Hookland.
We are watched with carved disdain, watched with stone sneers. Our ephemeral lives are nothing but flicker in the thousand-year stare of lithic lookouts. Time is different for them. We are no more than fast insect blur, ghost vapour. The default of grotesques is contempt. β #DAKilroy

An illustration by John Hookham from 'Poltergeist Over England' (1945) showing a mysterious 'cone of light' appearing in a suburban living room.
In 1943 a Mrs Brierley wrote to Harry Price about her former home in #Worcester, which had been plagued by phenomena ranging from half-glimpsed apparitions through inexplicable bangs and thuds to weird lights: 'luminous balloons floating near the ceiling' and 'cone-shaped fountains'.

After The Hum became silent, many of the Pylon People who had spent years following below its electric ley, went to live in canal boats on the cut. Often they moored close if not below transmission towers. Still at the ragged margins, waiting for The Hum to return. Waiting to march to again.
The Curse of La Llorona is a 2019 horror film.
The legend tells of a woman who drowned her children and now haunts the living, seeking others.

Bumblebee queens prefer to hibernate in north facing slopes sheltered from the sun as these areas are later to heat up in the springtime and so help prevent the queens from emerging too early.
