My attempts to capture woodland ectoplasm on film are not always successful, but that does not mean that the wood is alive with spirits. – Arthur Finley-Green, 1971 https://t.co/OOa5SbvfdJ

From what I have heard, spending a night in the barrow that sent Copeland-Blight mad, is a rite of passage for Hookland archaeologists. – #MattAdams, 1980 https://t.co/cKQSUp159p

@Skionar I am entirely jealous. It is a joyous book and I have not read it in more than 40 years.

@Gardenergirl29 @VagabondTabby It is an etymological puzzle and one for folklorists too. I suspect all that anyone can agree on regarding it is that it is a monster/spirit of the woods reported as having teeth like a saw. Beyond that loose definition, arguments tend to be had.

@Skionar I remember some villages where the only indicator I had that a wider world existed for me were the mobile library and, pylons and anything glimpsed on television either side of the football results on a Saturday.
