Annual remembrance Sunday tidy up of the Dixon brothers grave buried next door to my house. Harold Dixon died at the Somme 1916 age 24. Ernest Dixon died 1917 age 20 from shelling. A robin redbreast also came to pay his respects but was too slow to get a photo! – at Hull, England

Contact with non-human entities has been going on much longer than this century alone, if we judge the literature that is available. Lovecraft wrote about it. But aside from his fictional mythos treatment, examples are found everywhere in real literature. Buried in crumbling tomes resting in dimly lit forgotten corners of dusty libraries.

I got this page of a c1470 French breviary back from my framer- he's done a fantastic job making it 2 sided (I really wanted to have all of it readable). The light shines through the vellum brilliantly. Love it! – at Hull, England

youtu.be/zIpv0fQW4YU?is=6NyO… I used to love this track but never knew the origins... Roman Jugg said he and Dave Vanian wrote it after hearing a Radio 1 DJ saying nobody remembered the Leo Baxendale comic strip character Grimly Feendish from the 60s... brilliant! – at Hull, England

Just arrived this monthly Historical and Political Monthly Mercury from October 1705. Slightly battered but not bad for 320 years old! This was one of the earliest successful monthly journals in England- all the latest news from the continent. – at Hull, England
