I'm writing a horror serial set almost entirely inside one vehicle, and this just reframed it for me: I've been treating the car as the setting of the haunting, when it should be the antagonist wearing it. Thank you for the estate agent test too, half my descriptions just failed it. Loved it
What a great post! So useful and fascinating, thanks for sharing
thank you! Really glad you found it useful. Did it inspire some writing?
Not directly, but it has given my some new ideas and thoughts on how to construct future pieces of fiction, so thanks for that. :)
Yes yes yes. Thank you for sharing this. Now I'm in the mood for a good ghost story.

Yes yes yes yes yes. I actually wrote a thesis on weather as a “character” in gothic literature back in the day.
Before I even read the rest of this post, I have to share that The Others is the scariest movie I've ever seen.
