Rodney had drank in the pub till the wee hours, as was his usual custom, but this time it was different. He passed out and awoke wrapped around a lamppost, dressed in Victorian garb. When he asked a passerby the year, the incredible answer came: "1862." #picturewantsastory

By the apostle Paul, shadows tonight Have struck more terror to the soul of Richard Then can the substance of ten thousand soldiers Armed in proof and led by shallow Richmond. ′Tis not yet near day. ~ Shakespeare #ofdarkandmacabre William Blake, Richard III and the Ghosts

@DrCCat1 Fellow deserved that, eh?

@ofdarknmacabre As the tall man waited for his next victim he spied someone in the distance approach. He was an older man w/ silver hair and grey eyes. He approached & talled pulled his knife. The old man smiled and said: about time you showed up, now it's time for me to collect what's due

He came with the mist. In autumn. Creeping, slouching, staggering with it, in it, from the river up to the spot where they had waylaid him one morning in the fog. Beat him to death. For his crime. And he came back. Every year. And stared. Through the mist. #picturewantsastory

"The night has been unruly: where we lay, Lamentings heard in the air; strange screams of death, and prophesying with accents terrible Of dire combustion and confused events New hatch'd to the woeful time." ~ Macbeth, 2:3 #ShakespeareSunday #31DaysofHalloween #OfDarkAndMacabre

Visitors find the chaotic layout of twisting passageways and secret doors that comprise the Manor deeply unsettling. They swear that even if you walk the same path twice, you rarely end at the same destination. 🎨H. Railton. #31DaysOfHaunting #31DaysOfHalloween #OfDarkAndMacabre

If charnel houses and our graves must send Those that we bury back, our monuments Shall be the maws of kites. ~ Shakespeare #ofdarkandmacabre

He slumped with a metallic click, clink and the glow above died. As I moved into the yellow circle of the neighbouring light the man looked up. Or 'it' looked up. With another clink, clink it detached from the lamppost, stepped towards me. It's eyes gleamed. #picturewantsastory

"What may this mean? That thou, dead corpse, again, in complete steel, Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon. Making night hideous." (Hamlet 1:4) #ShakespeareSunday #OfDarkAndMacabre
