#HauntedBench update. It's still missing, presumed carted away by the bloody council (see also the ancient stone bench in Byron Park) #philistines. I so hope they didn't know to strew the ground with salt. #hauntedbench #wealdlane #fallencomrade

#HauntedBench Oak Hill Park, Barnet. Extract from Jennie Lee Cobban's 'Geoffrey de Mandeville & London's Camelot: Mysteries & the Occult in Barnet' (JLC, 1997)

Great benches in #supernatural history. This wooden seat was ideally suited to keep watch on the windows for the #PhantomNun. Wonder what became of it after the mysterious fire?

A haunted bench in Florence, from Augustus Hare's 'In My Solitary Life,' 1953, as quoted in 'The Sphere' Christmas issue for 1955. #hauntedbench #worldsurvey #parasolsinperil

#Benchland update. Finally made it back to #StMarys #Harrow_on_the_Hill only for the church to be shut for filming. On to #WealdLane #HarrowWeald. #HauntedBench remains AWOL - have no idea what became of it. Beermat via #TheCosyBar at number 6 Weald Lane.

Book to read on a #HauntedBench (preferably amid gravestones in the crumbling ruins of a haunted abbey).
Chris Baldick (ed) 'The Oxford Book Of Gothic Tales' (OUP, 1992). Cover illo; T. C. Gotch, 1854-1931: Death the Bride

Another #HauntedBench classic: Gayle Fiddler on 'Mary Ann Cotton and The Haunted Bench of Auckland';

Malvern Park, 1968. #SatanicBenchTerror #BlackSorcery in the #Midlands. Newspaper article reproduced by Peter Haining in his anthology, 'The Satanists' (Spearman 1969, Mayflower 1971), #HauntedBench outrage.

Hi Bunika. This was how the reputedly #hauntedbench of #HarrowWeald looked on g**gl* view, Autumn 2002.

Choice #PeterHaining "non-fict" book to read on a #hauntedbench (unless it's one overlooking a desecrated churchyard, in which case, 'Devil Worship in Britain' every time). Nothing #Harrow/ #PhantomNun of #StMary's related, sadly, no bench action either. Closest is entry on #hauntedchairs ...
