Just because we believe in Starfleet's ideals and values doesn't mean we're serious and professional. There's a reason we ended up at Starbase 80.

Hypnogoria<p>In England there are many tales of skulls that scream and create havoc if they are moved, but this is one of my favourites - the haunting at Agnes Burton Hall - <a href="https://www.hypnogoria.com/folklore_screamingskull.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">hypnogoria.com/folklore_scream</span><span class="invisible">ingskull.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/ghosts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ghosts</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/folkore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folkore</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FolkloreThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FolkloreThursday</span></a></p>
Bevan Thomas<p>In Bantu folklore, gourds will sometimes grow into giant ravenous monsters. Such malevolent plants often are created where evil sorcerers or ogres were killed. The Devouring Gourd of Usambara grew as huge as a house, then it uprooted itself, and ate a whole village.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/LegendaryWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LegendaryWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHaunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHaunting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHorror</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/31DaysofHalloween" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>31DaysofHalloween</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Superstitioloy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Superstitioloy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/folkore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folkore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Bantu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bantu</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Africa</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/monster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monster</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/plant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plant</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/gourd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gourd</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a></p>
David Castleton (Author)<p>One of London's strangest statues - thought to depict Alfred the Great - can be seen in Trinity Church Square, Southwark. The top part - depicting a crowned, bearded man - could have been made in the late 18th century for the garden of Carlton House, Westminster. The bottom half, however, is likely from a Roman statue of the goddess Minerva &amp; is dated to 80-130 AD. It is thought to have stood in a sanctuary on the site of nearby Tabard Square. The bottom part is of Bath stone, probably brought down the Thames from the Cotswolds. The upper part is of Coade stone, an artificial stone invented in the 1770s. The bottom part may have been used to give the statue a more 'medieval' appearance. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/psychogeography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychogeography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/folkore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folkore</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mythology</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/weird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weird</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>London</span></a></p>
