In 1868, something unsettling disturbed the quiet village of Muchelney… Strange, persistent noises echoed through a local property. What began as a curiosity quickly turned into something far more disturbing, drawing attention far beyond the village itself. www.patreon.com/posts/haunte...

We often see hares as gentle signs of spring, but folklore tells a different story.  Across Britain and Ireland, they appear as ghosts, omens, and even witches in disguise. Curious? Have a read and discover their darker side. #GhostHare #Hares #Folklore ghostcatcherisles.com/2026/05/05/t...

The next meeting of the Edinburgh Fortean Society will be Ewan Irvine talking on:

Between Fear and Faith: A Medium Who Still Sleeps With the Lights On

From the wide-eyed curiosity of 18 to the weathered wisdom of 56, my journey has been a collision of chills and charm—a lifetime spent straddling the line between skeptic and believer. I’ve coaxed stories from the departed and unraveled mysteries in haunted halls, yet I still sprint up the basement stairs like a kid fleeing monsters. Why? Because the dark reminds me that wonder and terror are two sides of the same coin. This talk isn’t about conquering fear; it’s about how the unseen world taught me to embrace the aliveness of being spooked—and why every shadow holds a story waiting to be heard.

Happy 498th birthday to English mathematician, occultist, and court astronomer/advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, John Dee. Here's one of the wax seals (in the British Museum) used in the 'Enochian magic' practiced by Dee and his scryer Edward Kelley, through which they (apparently) spoke with angels.
A circular disk made of wax, about 5 inches across in diameter and half an inch in thickness. It has an outer circle around its diameter, with inscribed writing between the edge and the circle, and then a heptagon inscribed within the circle with the points touching the circle. Again, writing is inscribed around the heptagon. Within this is a 7-pointed star, and within that is a hexagon, and withing the hexagon is a pentagram.
