I was asked recently why I still #Blog about the kind of topics that #WitchSky, #OccultSky and #ChaosSky are interested in when the internet has moved on to a short form video format. My answer is simple. I do not create to chase trends, and my audience at theacceleratedchaote.com like to read.

Out and about in #Cardiff this evening, running errands in the autumnal twilight. A fleeting shadow among fallen leaves and waste paper bouquets. And there's a real catch in the air, a chill that promises #Winter waiting in the wings. #Halloween soon. The Veil thins. #Yule after. Can't wait.

OK #ParanormalSky, just found a documentary about a 2017 collaboration between Frank Grace, Jeff Belanger, Carl Johnson, Tim Weisberg and Andrew Lake, highlighting New England ghost stories. Offers an interesting window behind the scenes of such stage shows too.

Day 14 of my 31 days of old ghost documentaries, one a day until #Halloween, and this one has a strong pedigree. In Search Of ... was a great little show, one that treated #Paranormal and #Fortean topics with actual respect. And yes, this one has Hans Holzer too.

And here's today's entry for my 31 days of classic ghost documentaries for #Halloween this year. Couldn't put one of these lists together without at least a couple by Richard Felix. Much more to his output than #MostHaunted, that's for sure.

Late again, but here is yesterday's post for my 31 days of classic ghost documentaries this October. So number 12. This one makes me smile, especially as the narrator seems to want to make this as creepy as possible at every opportunity. #Halloween kitsch eh?

... that I am also waiting to hear back on that submission I recently sent over to a major #Pagan website. Was about two weeks ahead of the deadline though, so no drama. Then there's the initial prep for my #BlueSky #SigilBomb this December too. More info on that soon. Lots to do for sure. (2/2)

Ugh, super busy in the real world at the moment, but doing my best to keep up with current projects, #WitchSky. Just started a new spiral text journaling technique to generate daily #Sigils, once I get more into it I'll do a write up for my portfolio blog. Share the #Chaos. Aside from ... (1/2)

New up at my author portfolio, the annual shortlist of the #HorrorFilms that I recommend this #Halloween. Some well known, a couple are more obscure. All worth a look though. The topic was #Ghosts, so of course there's a few deep cuts in there. #Spooky.

And here we go, on time for a change. Classic ghost documentary number eleven of 31. Took a while to compile the list of these for #Halloween this year, but definitely got enough for one a day until then.

So I had to skip yesterday as I was busy in the real world, catching up today. Still planning on sharing 31 classic ghost documentaries - one a day until #Halloween. And here's number ten, albeit a day late.

Noticeably cooler in #Cardiff now. Sleeping under a duvet as opposed to light blankets, windows only open in mid afternoon and not overnight now. Heating on in the mornings before work. Leaves blowing by. Ah yes. #Halloween soon, #BonfireNight after. Going to be an interesting few weeks for sure.

Day 9 of my 31 days of ghost documentaries for #Halloween this year, and it's an episode from a series that I fondly remember from back in the day. A real classic for #GhostSky and #ParanormalSky to enjoy as the sun sets low on the horizon tonight.

Day 8 of my 31 days of spooky documentaries for #Halloween. And this one, from 1996 or so, is relatively unknown. It's a compilation of segments from another show, bundled together. Not bad though, still feels cohesive thanks to the narrator/host.

New feature at my author portfolio website. Something delightfully necromantic with a light biographical edge. Always going to be work in progress, but worth keeping an eye on as it grows. #MementoMori #WitchSky, #PaganSky, #OccultSky and #ForteanSky indeed.

Something a little more modern for my 31 days of old school #Halloween ghost documentaries this evening, hailing from 2006 or so. Still a good watch, #ParanormalSky, and one episode of a series that is easy enough to find online.

Day six of my 31 days of sharing old ghost documentaries ahead of #Halloween and it's time for a real classic, #ParanormalSky. BBC's 40 Minutes did a spooky special in 1989, and its as dated as it is endearing. Great fun, and worth the runtime too.

OK, so I was a little less active on #BlueSky last week, but my article for a certain online #Pagan space is now done, and sourced. Just going to give it my usual couple days break before looking at it again to spot any mistakes. Yes, I edit and re-edit until I am happy. Then I'll submit it early.

Ghosts? Ghosts. Day five of my plan to share a classic documentary on hauntings and spooks every day until #Halloween. This one is weirdly low energy for some reason, though works as a bit of a global ghost tour either way.

Been busy this #ForteanFriday, but didn't forget my plans to share 31 classic ghost documentaries, one a day until #Halloween. And I think both #ParanormalSky and #ForteanSky will get a kick out of this one. It's so delightfully twee.

Thankfully, so far, yeah. North Cardiff is pretty hilly, so we're a good way above sea level. Wettest city in the UK though, apparently, so there's always a build up of standing water and full drains. But we're used to it. Very different from London's non-weather when I was growing up for sure.

Looks like this #Autumn storm has knocked the last of the #Conkers off the trees in #Cardiff, #WitchSky. Taken a hell of a load of the leaves off too. And the covered rivers, each surviving despite town planning led sewer grate downgrades, are running wild with hillside swell.
