When I worked in healthcare many years ago, it was commonly known amongst the workers that residents about to pass would often be visited by spectral loved ones. Sort of the flip side to what you talk about. Creepy both ways!

That feels somehow comforting.

Another awesome newsletter! Yeah the to tongueless lady sounds terrifying! Those crisis apparitions are so spooky! I don't know if you've ever listened to Jim Harold's Campfire podcast (you'd love it), but it's all listeners calling in with different kinds of paranormal stories and those crisis apparitions pop up every now and then. It's wild!

I love Scotland so fucking much, even though I’ve never been. Your writing and the way you’re able to make me feel like I’m actually there is, the beauty in itself.

Wonder if the phi tai hong were the inspiration for the Monsters of Verity series, (Our Savage Song, Our Dark Duet) by VE Schwab?

There are so many different vengeful spirits from that region, so I imagine one of them might have been inspirational.

Was Glamis Castle the ancestral home of the Queen Mother?

Loved this digest! Looking forward to more.

I think it was her childhood home. Clarence House was where she lived in London, I believe.

Thank you. I always try and write those in a conversational tone, as though I was sitting across from you telling you about each thing.
