This may be the best blog ever. "Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." For more information please reread." http://scarfolk.blogspot.com.es/ | ||

http://scarfolk.blogspot.com.es/2013/03/is-your-mummy-who-she-says-she-is.html "Is your mummy who she says she is?" On the subject of strange visitors to Scarfolk, in October, 1974, there was a spate of cases involving parents being supplanted by eerie impostors. The frauds looked uncannily like their real counterparts and only children could spot the subtle differences. For a time, affected children found a gritty substance in their school milk. At first poison was suspected but it turned out to be sand from a beach hundreds of miles away. Despite police investigations none of the impostors were ever positively identified and there was a growing belief in the community that they might not even be human. The impostors vanished as inexplicably as they had arrived and the children's real bewildered parents were found wandering on the very same beach from which the sand had originated. They had no idea how they got there, how long they had been away, or what had happened during their absence. This leaflet/flyer was distributed in comic books, at schools, and in toy shops.  | ||

This is indeed an excellent blog. I think there was mention of it here last year, but not sure which thread had the comment. | ||

Really? It only seems to have been online since February of this year. I love the ice-cream one: "In Scarfolk the ice-cream van man comes between 3 & 4am. You can hear him blaring the haunting Swedish Rhapsody numbers station* from over a mile away. The ice-cream van man wears a clown mask to disguise the horrific burns on his face because he doesn't want to frighten the children. He uses clothes pegs to hold the mask on because he is missing an ear. He lives in a nondescript building in an electrical substation and no one knows his name." | ||

The Ghost of Mrs Payne. The "field recording" in this one is a nice bit of eerie, relaxing ambient music. http://scarfolk.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/the-ghost-of-mrs-payne-field-recording.ht ml | ||

I see it's a book. I sort of didn't fancy it, though, even though it it's technically right up my street. |
