The Haunted Landscape: British Folklore and Ghosts.

Simon and Sara Hannant were asked to speak at a day of talks at London’s Conway Hall on November 19th. They gave a talk, illustrated by Sara’s haunting images from their recently published book, Of Shadows: One Hundred Objects from the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. The day was completely sold out and other speakers were Dr. Ceri Houlbrook, looking at The Blackley Boggart, Jeremy Harte on Fairy Gold, Joanne Parker, Druids, Dancers and Devils: The Folklore of Britain’s Megaliths, Sophia Kingshill with The Haunted Shores of England, Christopher Josiffe, A Mongoose in the Landscape, James Wright, Cultural anxieties and ritual protection in high status early modern houses and finally Roger Clarke, Whatever Happened to the Headless Ghost?
