Here’s a fun bookmark for you. The Willard Library in Indiana has 24/7 ghost cams 👻

The research room and stairway cams are especially creepy.

Strange lights can sometimes be spotted in the German countryside at night.

Some of them are friendly, and some of them are... not.

Glennis Cochrane did well from the divorce from Chuck. Despite his wealth, he had decided to represent himself, and, well, you know what they say about that. That he also decided to represent himself in the criminal assault case resulting from what happened outside the court was just icing on the cake. Court officials do not take well to being punched. 10-15 years before any chance of parole.

She sold the house, and purchased a charming heritage building near the CBD. A two story house with an attic. The estate agent said he was obliged to disclose that the house was haunted. Glennis laughed it off..

The reality was that the house really was haunted. She hadn't seen the ghost, but she'd heard it, and seen the effects.

Most noticeable was that the ghost was obsessive about the way the kitchen was set out. The pots and pans had to be just so. The crockery stacked the right way. And the pantry organised by date.

Once she'd figured that out, the ghost started on the bathroom. Then the living room.

The ghost had strong opinions about art. A Mondrian print ended up on the floor, but a Pollock reproduction stayed. Family photos were safe, but often got rearranged. Sometimes in different ways - it seemed that the ghost had moods. Her own paintings were untouched.

And that brought on the studio. Glennis had cleaned out the attic, and had a skylight put in, and set up the area as a studio. Every morning, her brushes would be cleaned, and but any work she'd covered would be uncovered.

Gradually, she started to feel someone watching her as she painted. Just the edge of a shadow out of the corner of her eye. A flicker of movement. So she started talking to the ghost.

About her day, about the divorce, about the current painting, the day's news. Just talking. When she told the presence about Chuck getting dogpiled by the court security team, she was certain she heard a hint of a giggle. And saw the hint of a figure.

---------------------------

Next we have the most famous work by Glennis Cochrane: "Past and Present" where you can see a ghostly outline of a young woman in formal late Victorian clothes on an IKEA lounge chair, illuminated by a shaft of dusty sunlight.

The artist always insisted that it was painted from a live sitting, but no attribution for the model has been found.

What am I bid?

The "Corpse Lake" is named for the many murders perpetrated on it by bandits.

And even long after the bandits were gone, the lake retains its haunted atmosphere...

@AwetTesfaiesus Ich finde Kettenposts okay, und die sind glaube ich bei diesen Requirements die einzige Option.

Unter Einbeziehung anderer Instanzen: Fediverse-Dienste, die mehr für LongForm ausgelegt sind. FediTips nennt Friendica, Ghost und WriteFreely. (Ich selbst kenne die nicht.)

Many inns offer barber services at very affordable rates.

In fact, it's the rates for _refusing_ their service that can be a killer.

> comparing @wordpress with #Ghost as why wouldn't a self hosted wordpress work in a similar way

More or less. Although Ghost is a leaner stack, with a focus on supportings publications (newsletters, blogs, etc). It's like what WordPress was, before it became the universal website builder. But the point is, authors can choose whatever works for them, and with AP syndication, audiences can read in whatever AP-enabled client they like.

A strange update to this #Ghost #Wordpress #RSS conundrum.

I realized today that while I have migrated this site from Wordpress to Ghost (with a different host) the account for this site on my Wordpress host was still active (I have a reseller account, I don't resell but it was the most convenient and cheapest to host several Wordpress sites).

I suspended it, and... now the RSS plugins return an error. 🤔
I'll completely delete the old account when I have a minute.

A room in an inn in Flensburg was once haunted by an entire royal court.

I'm not sure if anyone can help with this, but just in case. This is about #Wordpress #Ghost and #RSS
Last autumn, I moved a Wordpress site to Ghost (davidbilla.net) so far so good.
Now, on another Wordpress site (davidbilla.online) I want to have links to the latest posts of the former through a RSS plugin.

I've done it several times on several sites in the past with no issue. But here, it only fetches the old posts that were on Wordpress before the migration (with links to Ghost!) ⤵️
