#TheHauntedLandscape will be back on 18 November 23! 😄

I believe the talks from today will go up on the Conway Hall YouTube channel, where you can also watch talks from previous years: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqmJ7yFqSjJZH-T2UFz6RoRktOlPezqMM

Think the highlight of the day has been the chance to be mesmerised by the storytelling skills of @LisaSchneidau@twitter.com #TheHauntedLandscape

At The Haunted Landscape conference. Lovely surprise to hear @LUNATRAKTORS performing on video in the talk by Dr. Victoria Flood about Alderley Edge. Beautiful and atmospheric music deep in the caves. #TheHauntedLandscape

Watching Elizabeth Dearnley’s talk on Fearsome Fairies on the #ConwayHall YouTube channel from last year’s Haunted Landscape event.

Happy to be reminded and introduced to some of the many artworks inspired by Avebury stone circle by artists Daniel & Clara at #TheHauntedLandscape. Clockwise L-R: works by Paul Nash, John Piper, Eileen Agar, and Derek Jarman 😍

Someone on here talked about Jenny Greenteeth meaning duckweed awhile back I'm sure, as hearing it mentioned just now as part of #TheHauntedLandscape was very familar.

This is me, all day. Conway Hall and a day of talks about folklore and superstition courtesy of the London Fortean Society. One of my favourite days of the year.

Having fun at #TheHauntedLandscape, a day of talks about #folklore and the British landscape organised by the London Fortean Society.

Started with some excellent #PlantLore from Roy Vickery; I knew cow parsley was unlucky but one of its other names, "mother die", is extremely specific 😳

It's #TheHauntedLandscape lecture day at Conway Hall. The point about people making/creating rather than just taking photos struck a note with me. Yes, you "take" them, but you've also looked, paused, seen what you want to capture (fleetingly) and mentally commissioned it.

Also my Dutch friend used to translate "take' to "make" and it never seemed odd. #Fortean

Currently watching #TheHauntedLandscape streamed by #LondonForteanSociety from #ConwayHall. 👻😈🧚‍♀️👹

The benefits of joining #TheHauntedLandscape by the #LondonForteanSocietyfrom home today is that I get to listen to the whole wonderful line up 𝘢𝘯𝘥 lose myself in #WelshGhostlore for the day.

First up: digitizing and translating 'Ymddangosiad Ysprydion Drwg' (The Appearance of Evil Spirits), 1844 👻

If you've attended #thehauntedlandscape this weekend (I wish I did), might I be so bold as to suggest that #spiritsofplace https://www.spiritsofplace.com may be of interest also.
