Snapped a picture of this festive window display in Otley the other year and it's haunted me ever since...

#GothicAdvent Day 3:

Ring the bells and pull the carts,
Watch the wretched pierce their hearts,
The pit men cough as they start their dig,
None escape the Tyburn jig!

Creaking goes the rope at night,
The wheezing gasps of life's last fight,
Hand the bottle for one last swig,
Your last dance is the Tyburn jig.

Let us travel to the Tyburn Tree, the ancient gallows of Old London Town. The Tyburn gallows were last used on 3 November 1783, when John Austin, a #highwayman, was hanged.

Tradition says, that sometimes, at this time of year when the cold nights grow hard in the silence you can hear the necks crack.

Listen heard enough and you can still hear and bodies swinging from this grim old tree. Creak... Creak.. Creak...

#GothicAdvent Day 2 -- Grave diggers would carry a hard and bland biscuit called the Bone Man's Cratchet during #advent.

It was made by their wives or mothers the night before; they were deliberately unpalatable. The diggers would dip the biscuit in ale or beer to soften it up and then cover it with rock-salt.

It was thought to be the only thing they should eat as other food would attract the hungry #dead that jealousy watch us all at this time of the year.

Who wants the recipe?
