  1. The Theatre Royal on Drury Lane carries a lodger who never bought a seat. A tall gentleman in a grey cloak and powdered wig walks the Upper Circle and, at one unbroken stretch of wall, steps forward and is gone. A good omen to the company. A man was walled up there in 1848, a knife in his ribs. I cannot say the one is the other. I can say the tale has held together for a century and a half. bakerstreetholmes.substack.com

  2. 👻 Famous atheist philosopher claims to have seen *something* when he was *dead*—because who doesn't love a good ghost story from a guy who devoted his life to saying there's nothing to see? 🚫🧙‍♂️ Apparently, a brush with #pneumonia and the #afterlife turns even the staunchest #skeptics into spiritual storytellers. 🧐📜
