Day 22 of the Yuletide Hauntings Advent Calendar. Let's hope Herne the Hunter and his ghostly hounds are not seen tonight...

I am 8 years old and I am camping at Bears Rails with the Cubs. The leaders like to tell us how grizzly old Herne the Hunter stalks the woods at night, locking antlers with the stags.

We are sleeping in an improvised shelter of wood and tarpaulin and I need a wee. What are those sounds in the woods? Is that shadow just the twisty branches of an oak, or are those antlers?

On the #Blakes7 podcast Straight Outta the Federation, I profile actor #JohnAbineri who plays Blake’s uncle in the episode Hostage. He also appeared in four #DoctorWho stories, #RedDwarf, and most relevant in both 1975’s The Legend of #RobinHood (as Marian’s uncle) and 1984’s #RobinofSherwood as #HerneTheHunter. https://blakes7.libsyn.com/straight-outta-the-federation-hostage #scifi #britishscifi #classictv
Straight Outta The Federation: A Blake's 7 Podcast: Straight Outta the Federation: Hostage

Straight Outta the Federation discuss Blake going on a limb to rescue his uncle and cousin from the likes of Travis and his goons.  Is it a set up?  Of course!  Will Blake and his crew be able to save his relatives and themselves?  Give us a listen and leave a comment at or .com to contact Allen.  

And finally on the #folkhorror theme for today, setting a little Midjourney thing running on where we might be most likely to sight Herne The Hunter if he slipped into our lives today. This figure striding along, stag’s antlers and indistinct, deer-skull features as he emerges from the shadows on the High Street; would be terrifying.

Going through photos on my phone, here's the time #Cernunnos / #HerneTheHunter was spying on me...
