East Anglian placenames should be harmonised, as far as possible, with Bury St Edmunds; Peterborough should be Bury St Peters, Ely should be Bury St Audreys, Felixstowe should be Bury St Felix, March should be Bury St Wendredas, Dereham Bury St Withburgas etc.

A university supplying a special bin so academics can dispose of their books certainly feels like a metaphor for something…

Off to a 70s party. Naturally, I’m going as a 70s folklorist who will tell you everything was the Witch Cult or a degenerated fertility rite, and is currently writing a book for Batsford about sacrificial megaliths

"Spirit", by George Roux, 1885⁠. A man working at his desk late in the evening is suddenly interrupted by a ghost playing the piano. He stands up, stunned at the sight of this beautiful spectral vision. Private collection.

Developers bought the iconic Black Country pub The Crooked House (building built in 1765) and it mysteriously burnt down last night. This happens every single time a pub is bought across Birmingham. Starting to feel like ‘housing developer’ is code for ‘arsonist’.

Time we re-branded ‘history’ as ‘lore from the irl universe’
“Students do not want history lectures at university…” Have you seen how many long-form video essays on the most obscure lore minutiae from video games there are on YouTube?

My favourite Cottingley theory is that the girls really saw fairies but realised early on they couldn’t successfully photograph them; the fairies then persuaded the girls to hoax the photos. What better way to conceal your existence than getting humans to make hoaxes about you?
