#31DaysofGraves The angels in the abandoned cemetery near to where I live have been beheaded by vandals. Despite the damage however, they still stand as sentinels for the forgotten. Having purchased the site in the 1950's, the council mysteriously gave up on it. Of course it is said to be haunted.

illustration of Welsh supernatural author & mystic the great Arthur Machen (1863-1947) who was an influence on Lovecraft & whose work has never been equaled for its uncanny transcendence. The Fall's Mark E. Smith was also a fan of the man who wrote 'The Great God Pan.' (art Smoky Man)

It may be emanating from local woods with a strange vibe.

Edgar Allan Poetry -Ulalume
The leaves they were withering & sere
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immortal year
It was hard by the dim lake of Auber
In the misty mid region of Weir
It was down by the dank tarn of Auber
In the ghost haunted woodland of Weir art John Atkinson Grimshaw

The U.S has 'Moth Man' the U.K has the fearsome Cornish 'Owl Man' who was first seen hovering over Mawnan Church by two girls in the summer of '76. Sightings have continued to the present. Theories include the supernatural & an unusually large owl. Make of it what you will but exercise caution.

Thank you. Do you know Khnopff's work? It is very ghostly and misty.

'Regret of Other Days': Belgium born Symbolist artist Ferdinand Khnopff (1852-1921) produced some haunting work that are more like visions than paintings. The world he presents us with has already passed into the silent realm of shadows & the half-glimpsed.

#31DaysofGraves The 'Dead' gravestone of artist Patrick Caulfield (1936-2005) has of recent years become one of the most visited in Highgate Cemetery, London. There's no arguing with this epithet.

Who'd have thought? A mystery revealed.

'A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby face in the violet light
Whistled and beat their wings'....TS Eliot (art 'Twilight' William J Webbe 1853-1878)

Spiraling: (Photo by Fratelli Alinari) He could be an assassin, he might be about to vanish into thin air or is undertaking a Vatican mission........that we'll never know gives the image its mystique.

Yes it was as he was such a force to be reckoned with in front of the camera. Really unique.
