The Walrond coffins (scroll down)
The Borley Rectory (“The Most Haunted House in England”) and the creeeeeepy writing (probably the thing that scared me the most—because people responded to the ghost by writing BACK on the wall, and then the GHOST WOULD WRITE BACK HOLY JAMOLEY I’m freaking out right now)
“The Screaming Skull of Bettiscombe Manor“—and, apparently, there’s a whole slew of ‘em in England.

haw haw haw!
my stupid office filter won’t let me go to any of this. the sonic wall says they are “forbidden:occult”. Of course, it also says that when i try to visit the vatican’s site. maybe the sonic wall is a free-will baptist. can i borrow your book gorjus? we also have a replacemnt b-day present ready for you. since you already had the one we gave you before.
[...] nsonants!). Second, I had SPINE-TINGLING COLD-CHILL FRICKIN’ NIGHTMARES. I’m famously sissy about scary stuff, and even rolling around that half-hour or so of Forrest Gump in my mouth before [...]
