Probably a good time for another #introduction...
I'm a Welsh #folklorist and #author with expertise in #ghostlore and particular #academic interest in the appearance of #spirits in the Welsh tradition.
I've recently co-authored 'The #Folklore of #Wales: #Ghosts' with researcher and podcast host Mark Norman, which is due out Sep 28 with Calon books.
I'm also an #antiquarian book collector, with a #library of some of Wales's rarest folkloric texts.
#Cymraeg iaith gyntaf; expect a bit of both.

Finally home and trying to hold off jetlag with a new #SpookyBook.
#spookybook #bookstodon #folklore #Ghostlore
Just a few of the spooky books Iβll be ringing in 2023 with (and carting back to Dublin on the plane tomorrow night).
#BrowseaboutBooks in Rehoboth Beach is the best.

*New Post*
A short, rather personal one from me, detailing my first paranormal experience. This experience drives my desire to understand and focus on the humanity of ghost stories.π

I've pinned and reboosted my #introduction, but I thought I'd have another bash round the potted summary of hashtags as I try to reconnect with stuff lost in the past few days.
#folklore is pretty much the most important to me - I'm an #academic #folklorist, do #fieldwork, think & write about #folkloristics, and really really REALLY like hanging out with/listening to other #folklorists.
I started off with #folk, #folksong, #folkmusic, ended up doing a PhD on #ghostlore #ghosts #ghost but love/am interested in all sorts of stuff, like #cannibalism, #rats, #folkhorror
Other important things:
#surrealism #fantomas #Dowland #Classics #Berlioz
Live on #isleofwight, like at the end of Day of the Triffids.

These are ghost ridden lands. The quiet places. Here your grandfather's grandfather still wanders that well trod path, on that familiar journey, as he follows the river home π

Easthope is a beautiful place, albeit a little small. Perched upon the slopes of Wenlock edge, the whole area feels as if itβs a secret place, (after all, local belief stipulates that Wenlock Edge belongs to the fae) Its also home to one of my Favourite ghost stories 'The Burley Fighting Monks' of Easthope.
You can read about the strapping fellas below!

It has been said that a number of spirits are attached to the Ironbridge- including a hooded monk, a loving victorian couple who walk arm in arm and pause for kisses- and two playful little girls who skip merrily across the bridge. π

The Wrekin is integral to Shropshire, and its not without ghosts. The many spirits that haunt the hill include a broad gentleman who greets you as a friend, numerous playful children, black dogs and strange albino fox with glowing red eyes that screams before disappearing...

'Woe unto thee, hard hearted man,
The Lord has hardened thy heart to thine own destruction.
Rejoice not in thy riches nor monuments of pride,
For neither thou or thine own children's children
Shall inhabit these halls, They shall be given desolation and vipers'
This was the curse bestowed on Morton Corbet Castle and Sir Vincent Corbet after he betrayed his friend. The unfortunate souls still wanders the grounds, to ensure the curse lives on.

I'm Amy,
I'm a Writer, Folklorist and part time Goblin who focuses on Shropshire Folklore, with a focus on ghosts and #Ghostlore.
I am also a trainee history teacher, and the Brand ambassador for Haunted Magazine.
You can expect ghosts, history and general weirdness of Shropshire π
Proper #introduction, I guess. I'm UK-based (a Londoner, now living on #isleofwight)
I did a first degree in #Classics, then worked/didn't work as an actor for a while, during which time I got really interested in #folk #folksong.
Started to do #fieldwork, realised I needed to think harder about it so did an MA in #folklore. Liked it. A lot.
Did a PhD on Contemporary Belief in #Ghosts - https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/handle/2299/7184.
Currently on the Council of the Folklore Society & editorial board of #FolkMusic Journal.
I've written on #ghostlore, folklore about rats, #cannibalism at sea, tongue twisters (inter alia), and (increasingly) folklore's history. Was doing this through folkloresque representation in #folkhorror & crime novels (& soon #DrWho), now planning just as historical research. Perhaps...
