  1. Probably a good time for another #introduction...

    I'm a Welsh #folklorist and #author with expertise in #ghostlore and particular #academic interest in the appearance of #spirits in the Welsh tradition.

    I've recently co-authored 'The #Folklore of #Wales: #Ghosts' with researcher and podcast host Mark Norman, which is due out Sep 28 with Calon books.

    I'm also an #antiquarian book collector, with a #library of some of Wales's rarest folkloric texts.

    #Cymraeg iaith gyntaf; expect a bit of both.

  2. Hey #folklore peeps, I thought I'd have another go at searching out some of the #academic #folklorist types who tried to follow me when this instance had its little glitch a while back, as well as other lovely #folklorists who may have arrived here since.

    Hit me up with suggestions...

  3. I've pinned and reboosted my #introduction, but I thought I'd have another bash round the potted summary of hashtags as I try to reconnect with stuff lost in the past few days.

    #folklore is pretty much the most important to me - I'm an #academic #folklorist, do #fieldwork, think & write about #folkloristics, and really really REALLY like hanging out with/listening to other #folklorists.

    I started off with #folk, #folksong, #folkmusic, ended up doing a PhD on #ghostlore #ghosts #ghost but love/am interested in all sorts of stuff, like #cannibalism, #rats, #folkhorror

    Other important things:
    #surrealism #fantomas #Dowland #Classics #Berlioz

    Live on #isleofwight, like at the end of Day of the Triffids.

  4. Yes! First sighting of HT #folkloristics! As a British #folklorist it's not a word I've adopted/taken to in any big way, although I do use it for clarity, but it's a useful marker/identifier for #folklore scholars here, I think.
