Not every ghost glimpsed in glass is a leering face or a weeping child. Sometimes the glass-ghost is a long cut-down tree, outline of a building reduced to rubble a century before. Unquiet time is revealed as one of the fiercest of phantoms. – #CJosiffe, 1956 #Ghosts

I don't care how many times I'm told Stay Belows go to mud in the winter, you'd never catch me throwing stones into Egreaves Pool at any time of the year. – Richard Chard #VOH (Picture 'Place of the Stay Belows', 1982 by Hookland artist Lou Kemp)
An acrylic painting of pond told in shades of grey, brown, green and black. A gorgeously gloomy window onto a pond in the wintered woods. A half-sunken tree dominates the territory, but the true focus us the water. We know it holds secrets.

HOARFROST resembles tiny spiky hairs; it gets its name from 'hoary' meaning white with age. It forms on small surfaces, such as wires, branches, stems & leaf edges & often resembles magical miniature snow fairies🎨Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

Today is when New Year's Eve/Hogmanay was celebrated in days of yore (I love that word, have you noticed?) It's the day when witches become 'active' again after the boozy shenanigans of the Christmas period, so keep a weather eye on your cattle 🐄⚡️😈 #folklorethursday
