Dearly Departed: Everything you want to know about the afterlife | Georgina Walker

A song for a song? Maybe I don't read enough ghost stories but this prompt made me thing of Dearly Departed by Shakey Graves, an excellent #donthauntthisplace song. Unfortunately he's not Canadian. 🤷

15 Canadian Poets X2 | Gary Geddes

I love the subtext in Eli Mandel's poem about Houdini: combine it with the tales of Houdini's ghost, and it speaks of a personality who didn't get the memo: #DontHauntThisPlace
#TimbitTunes @TheKidUpstairs @Cinfhen

Cinfhen That was great. Thanks for sharing ☺️ 6y

TheKidUpstairs Wow, lots to unpack there. I'll be reading that one again. 6y

I read this with a “forgotten books” group. I‘m not a big ghost story reader but this was a good one. #donthauntthisplace #timbittunes

Reviewsbylola This would be me. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ 6y

Reviewsbylola Also, have you read this one Leah? It sounds fascinating! 6y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola I haven‘t! I found it a couple of months ago for $2 and there are so many photos of the 1970s house interior that I had to get it. 😆😆 6y

Mistermandolin I researched another case not a mile and a half from where these events occurred. From 1945. It seems that they‘ve 4y

LeahBergen @Mistermandolin That sounds interesting! Unfortunately, the rest of your comment got cut off. 4y

Mistermandolin @LeahBergen The case I found was in Southfield Road, Ponder‘s End. About a mile and a half from the case Guy Playfair investigated. I came across it when I was researching a book I was writing on unusual lights. The Ponder‘s End case has never been published but I have a large file on it. Standard poltergeist stuff but other phenomena too. Playfair was at a lecture I gave and we discussed the case afterwards. 4y

Mistermandolin @LeahBergen I suggested to him that the two cases were linked: that the same entity had produced both sets of events. He wouldn‘t have it. He said that polt phenomena were always ‘person centred‘ but I disagree. They‘re ‘zonal‘. It‘s like the poltergeist actually ‘lives‘ somewhere and becomes active from time to time. 4y

LeahBergen Oh, wow. How fascinating! You‘ve made me want to bump up the tagged book on my TBR. @Mistermandolin (edited) 4y

Mistermandolin @LeahBergen Glad you found it interesting. One (rare) thing I found when looking at the Southfield Road events was levitation of the witness. Same with the instance Guy Playfair writes about. I came across the case when writing my book ‘Lightforms‘. I‘m at www.markfox.co.uk in case you want to have a look. 4y

LeahBergen @Mistermandolin Thanks, Mark. I‘ll check it out! 4y

Her Fearful Symmetry | Audrey Niffenegger

#timbittunes #donthauntthisplace

After reading about the ghost that haunts this novel, I bet the protagonists wish they‘d said “don‘t haunt this place”. This is a gorgeous gothic novel that gets very weird and uncomfortable. A marmite book that some people can‘t stand. When I first finished it I felt squeamish but now I look back on it fondly. I wish Niffenger would write more novels!

Cinfhen, TheKidUpstairs

LeahBergen I loved this one, too. 👍🏻 6y

TheKidUpstairs I haven't read this one, but I love your phrasing of "marmite book"! 6y

TrishB I loved this ❤️ @leahbergen 6y

KarenUK Loved it too 💕 and marmite! 😂 6y

Cinfhen I didn‘t enjoy TTW which I know you did, Flea! So I‘m worried about this one🤷‍♀️but I see lots of my favorite readers loved it too!!! 6y

Centique @Cinfhen it‘s very different to TTW. As if she was playing with the idea of time travel in that one, in this one it‘s ghosts. Apart from ghosts it‘s very realistic. If the idea of ghosts doesn‘t feel too unreal for you, you might like it! 6y

Cinfhen I‘ve already stacked it, so maybe I‘ll keep it on my list!! I do like Ghosts!!! 6y

Reggie Ohhhh I need a horror book written by a woman and I thought this might save me but turns out one in the group has read it. Dang it. Lol thanks. 6y

Centique @Reggie aw bad luck! 🙂🙃 6y

Centique @Reggie did you find that horror book you needed? Cos I was just listening to a podcast and they mentioned this one

Harlot's Ghost: A Novel | Norman Mailer

#donthauntthisplace #TimbitTunes This book , Mailers longest at 1300 pages.Its subject,the CIA thru the eyes of Harry Hubbard in the era of the Cuban revolution,the Mafia in the 1960s,&the Kennedy assassination.So it mixes real & fictional characters.I remember liking it. It was supposed to have a sequel,Harlot‘s Grave ,but between time and other projects,it never got written.

arubabookwoman I've tried twice to read that, both times getting to about p. 400, but it never took. 6y

TheKidUpstairs Sounds interesting, but it's quite a #chunkster! 6y

Leftcoastzen @arubabookwoman I get it.It took me a lot of pages but it did hook me. 6y

Leftcoastzen @TheKidUpstairs A #chunkster indeed! 6y

Cinfhen I wish I didn‘t have #pagecountphobia because it sounds fascinating 🧡👻 6y
