LOL #ghoststories

It's #Uncanny on the telly again.

You can see the presenter absolutely knows it's all bullshit as he say 'listen to this case! Could it be a real ghost?'

I kinda like me a ghost story though. They fun. And I like the scary thoughts.

Juan Rulfo's classic novella 'Pedro Páramo' is a masterfully written ghost story, that works its language and plotting like silly putty.

This #GhostStoriesForChristmas had some human-baby-headed blood-drinkng spiders in it.

Twas a bit weird.

It's called The Ash Tree (1975)

So I watched The Treasure of Abbott Thomas (1974)

It was quite fun. The ghost turned out to be a sludge monster.

The thing is, the stories are quite slow, and could easily be told in a shorter amount of time, if they removed a lot of the chaff.

It was basically a cursed treasure story, and an old story at that, but it would have been nice if they'd put some new ideas into it.

So I watched Lost Hearts (1973) and it had this boy going to this old house and the man there was all weird and creepy and manic and the boy kept seeing these ghost children.

Then the boy and girl ghosts are all blue with long nails and they do this funky swaying dance to the music of the hurdy-gurdy.

And the alive boy goes into a trance and they show him their wounds on their chests.

Quite fun, that one.

Ima gonna watch some more #BBC Christmas Ghost Stories.

I've seen about three I think. I rewatched one. It was OK. A lot of filler and it could been shorter and sharper.

And it also lacked a bit of punch. It had something to so with wooden carving in a church, but their significance didn't really hit hard.

It was still quite fun though.

A Christmas present to myself, an M.R James figure made by the marvelous Hobbs Lane
Now to find a suitably spooky bookshelf for him to reside on.

A GHOSTLY CHRISTMAS MYSTERY set in a medieval British abbey is delicately drawn and filled with vivid detail. Short, but richly memorable. B PLUS

Christmas ghost stories have a long tradition in the UK, but outside of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, I can't say I've seen much of one in Canada. Are Christmas ghost stories traditional for you? #GhostStories #Christmas #ChristmasGhostStories

A writer I've worked with has a new short fiction published, and it's a fantastic ghost story. Please go give it a read. It's sooo deliciously good! Support BIPOC authors! https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/ol-big-head/ #GhostStories #ShortStories #SpeculativeFiction
