There are reports in the Hook Echo again about the haunted Burland & Kimber steam organ at the Steam Fair Museum. The headline reads: ‰Û÷CURSED CALLIOPE PLAYS THE DEVIL‰Ûª. Of course as a ghost sucker, I now want to go the damn museum for the first time in my life. – #MattAdams, 1980

@folk_horror @StrangeIreland @Tomsomol Interviewing those who knew the Italians involved was an entirely surreal experience in itself.

@Tomsomol Hookland is as much built on Soviet science fiction and its space programme as it is on classic folklore. https://t.co/XVaLEJDqVq

At the edges of the Restal Wastes they say you can hear Marsh Apes growl and the drowned dead whisper. They even say you can catch the animist spirits of abandoned boats curse their former crews. Of course, the Restal Wastes is the home of water lilly powder. – #MattAdams, 1980 https://t.co/moSU08zX9n

@StrangeIreland As I always say, nothing in Hookland is made up, just remembered differently.

Let us not pretend otherwise, there are some places that ally themselves to nightmare. Waldran Lane is one of them. – #CLNolan https://t.co/ddFTGP9jkI

Truth is, Barrowcross throws your fears back at you. Whatever you‰Ûªre most scared of echoes from its stones. For many that seems to be loneliness, abandonment or being stalked by monsters. – Tom Rudd #VOH https://t.co/JziA0Vi0i6

I‰Ûªve a fondness for neglected villages like Melfield Magdalen. Protected by sentinel oaks and a dizzying maze of lanes, even high-nested rooks seem to sound alarm when outsiders come towards it. Melfield has mysteries and it will defend them – of this we can be sure. – #CLNolan
