Yeah, I think it's an attempt at a panoramic shot that happened to come out extra spooky!

Lemon yellow crocheted octopus with white accents and white derby
Same lemon yellow crocheted octopus, but in the dark: yellow sections now almost as dark as the background, white accents and derby now an eerie glow-in-the-dark greenish hue

Hold up! It looks like it might be a panoramic fail.
Well thank the gods for that.
A genuinely upsetting image showing an old, palatial room and a small girl with her back to the camera. Next to the girl is a tall, dark figure with long hair who absolutely does not look right.
This digital image from 2015 was taken at Hampton Court Palace & seemingly shows a ghostly apparition. Some say that the figure is the spirit of Dame Sybil Penn, a lowly servant of the Tudors.
I saw this pic for the first time today and all I know is I absolutely do not like it.

I watched this one afternoon when I was about 12 and off school with an illness. It absolutely terrified me! The perfect example of what you don't see being more scary than what you do.

In 19th century England rectangular livestock paintings were commissioned by prosperous farmers to showcase their wealth and status. The same artistic distortion would also be applied to pigs and sheep.

David Attenborough [whispering]:
βAs the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not manβs role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.β
With Stormbringer and Mournblade, Michael Moorcock made runeswords a pop cultural trope since the late 1960s - with the 9th century Sæbø sword, found in 1825, we have actual archaeological evidence that this was done for real - and the sagas have demonic rune blades galore!

An illustration by Stephen Lawrence from a 1946 edition of 'Famous Fantastic Mysteries'. It shows the Black Seal, a tablet carved with strange cuneiform characters, with a weird tentacled creature wrapped around it.
"I am going now to the final trial and encounter. I shall have the Black Seal and the knowledge of its secrets to help me, and if I unhappily do not return from my journey, there is no need to conjure up here a picture of the awfulness of my fate."
- Arthur #Machen, 'The Black Seal'

Painting of a deer in the forest at night.
In a Flemish folktale, a woman who was said to have been a thief during life haunted a town in the shape of a deer. The ghost deer would knock on doors and wait. Between her horns she carried an illegible text. She stopped appearing when someone deciphered the text.

On a full moonish #Wyrdwednesday morning in early spring, we walk the misty moors north of Bremen to come across an old local legend... and names writ in uncanny foresight in the family register.
Meet the cursed Heemsen family in our 4th #darkspringtide tale linked below.

Good morning, Wyrdlings!
The writing is clearly on the wall this #WyrdWednesday with our theme:
"Carvings, Inscriptions & Writings on the Wall!"

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose'

Wyrdlings!
Some things are set in stone. Or wood. Or bone. You name it, since this week:
"Carvings, Inscriptions & Writings on the Wall"
is our #WyrdWednesday topic β so, tell us tales of wyrd bas-reliefs, strange runes on artefacts and otherworldy hieroglyphs found in deep dungeons!

You can just stomp around the house like a kaiju and nobody can stop you. Treat yoβself.
