@folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialI expect FT's Alien Zoo column will be covering this, I was reading the latest issue earlier today and there was this piece on a newly split species of European rabbit. Vital research for biodiversity and conservation but irrelevant for cryptozoology.
@theghostmonk.bsky.socialReposted by @folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialI can’t remember which Blueskyer remined me that staircases are liminal, like bridges and crossroads, and therefore favourable for hauntings. There are many #haunted examples – such as the one where the famous Brown Lady of Raynham, #Norfolk, was maybe photographed in the 1930s. [More

@folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialOne of the few first hand ghost accounts I've been told was from my former landlord who felt a presence on the stairs in a former home and the strong smelt cigar smoke. She later found out a man who lived there before her and had passed away smoked cigars.

Bring me to quiet rest,
Let pass my weary guiltless ghost
Out of my careful breast."
-Anne Boleyn.
It’s believed that she wrote this during her imprisonment in The Tower. Her headless ghost is said to haunt its halls while holding her head.

@folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialSomeone needs to publish a complete catalogue with a checklist of them all. I've only seen fewer than 5.
@david-castleton.bsky.socialReposted by @folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialSouth Yorkshire's Stocksbridge Bypass is allegedly haunted by a monk-like figure who appears suddenly in front of cars & even grabs drivers' legs. In 1987, 2 security guards encountered the apparition - police investigating 2 days later had a similar experience. #spookysunday #folklore #gothic

@theswampwytch.bsky.socialReposted by @folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialIn 1880, St. Simons lighthouse keeper Frederick Osborne was gunned down by his assistant over an argument. Ever since, keepers reported heavy bootsteps climbing the 129 cast-iron steps at night - sometimes checking on the lens machinery. #SpookySunday #GhostStories #Georgia #Folklore

@catherinegogerty.bsky.socialReposted by @folkhorrorrevival.bsky.socialPesta, the personification of the black death in Norway. She is a hunched old woman who travels from town to town, if she arrives dragging a rake, you are lucky, some in the community will survive. If she is dragging a broom then every last person will die. 60% of the population of Norway died
