October 3rd. Sister Beatrix Ende Died on 1st January 1500
A clay sheet ghost holding a sign that reads "THE END IS NIGH"

Our third spirited resident of October is Sister Beatrix Ende!
Sister Beatrix departed this mortal realm on 1st January 1500 and has been expecting everyone else to follow shortly ever since.

As one of Endly's Doomsday Ghosts, Beatrix has something of a preoccupation with the end times. Over the centuries she has confidently predicted the end on 147 separate occasions and considers her current lack of success merely a technicality.

Away from prophecy, Beatrix enjoys Extreme Pessimism, Recreational Foreboding, counting magpies and making tiny packup lunches for journeys she has no intention of taking. She dislikes frivolity before noon.

For all her doom-mongering, she's suprisingly good company and generally very optimistic about things that aren't the complete and irreversible destruction of existence.

The end is nigh. Tea first, though.

October 5th. Baroness Klara Weissdorf. Died on 17th April 1892.
A small ghost figurine, in grey, wearing a black scarf with diamond brooch.

October 5th, and it was really only a matter of time before we encountered a Grey Lady.

Allow us to introduce Baroness Klara Weissdorf, who died on 17th April 1892 and has maintained impeccable standards ever since.

Elegant, reserved and unfailingly courteous, Baroness Weissdorf is a lady of the old European aristocracy who appreciates good manners, intelligent conversation and the importance of dressing appropriately for dinner. She speaks several languages, has strong opinions on table linen and can identify an inferior champagne glass from across a moderately sized room.

Her quieter pursuits include Correspondence, Botanical Illustration and the careful restoration of antique lace.

She is also an enthusiastic arm wrestler.

The Baroness rarely discusses this particular passion. She simply removes her jewellery, rolls up one sheet sleeve and issues her challenge.

She remains undefeated

October 4th. Clover Merriweather. Died on 21st November 1895.
A small clay ghost with a black balloon and pointy party hat. 

Day 4 of our October introductions, meet Clover Merriweather!

Clover Merriweather departed this mortal coil on 21st November 1895 and has been waiting for the party to get properly started ever since.

As one of Endly's Party Ghosts, Clover is always prepared. She has a hat. She has a balloon. She has many requests for the DJ. ("You got any Ministry?")

Her hobbies include Advanced Balloon Upkeep, Frantic Dance for Experts, and attempting to put cocktail sticks into increasingly unsuitable small foods.

Clover may sometimes look as though nobody else turned up, but don't be fooled.

Clover is the party.

Conscience... Are you they? Would... would it be going too far to make the Teletubbies as sheet ghosts, and then include detailed stories of the horrific, traumatic, karmic way in which each one died?

Cleaning the fluff and stuff out from the washing machine, and just at the top there's this hole where you have to push in with two fingers and kinda curl them back towards you and wiggly them back and forth- All I'm saying is that when the machines take over, they remember all this effort I put in

Look. When The Child starts telling everyone that his Daddy made him vacuum the garden, it's simply because I was shaving the Christmas fur, okay?
White fur that was too long. And a shaver.

First hint of the slightest bit of rain, and there was a woman with skin like cracked leather in the queue moaning "Ugh. Well I guess summer's over now, dreadful weather!" People are a virus.

So today apparently marks the 12 year anniversary of my mum texting me "Phone as soon as you can" at 12.30am when I'm in the pub and a little drunk, to tell me that their internet isn't working. Yeah, sorry. Don't miss that shit.

On the 4th of July 1969, my Grandad died. He was just 44. He died on the toilet from a Subarachnoid Haemorrage - a defect from birth that went pop in his head like a timebomb and that was it. Gone instantly. 1 of 2

The very best thing about photocopying PSHE flashcards is when they randomly arrange themselves and you find yourself thinking "Actually that's a pretty sweet night out right there."

Currently 35% off my prints at Inprnt. So if you think shipping is usually a bit much, at least the discount makes up for it. For instance, a 19"x24" print, (and the quality is lovely), is only $18. That, is a steal. #ArtPrints #SciFi www.inprnt.com/gallery/this...
