The theme of SpookySunday is never more specific than simply 'ghosts'. But not things from fairylore or vampires, for example.

#FairyFriday 🇮🇪🧚♀️
In Irish lore the hollow hills hid the palaces of the Sidhe. Strange lights and unearthly music were said to drift from the mounds, and at the year's turning the doors opened and the host rode out.
If a hill glows and the music rises… best not follow. 🌿
