I don’t know if I was imagining it but I saw a lot of spooky things today.
An abandoned building that looked haunted…
Powerlines everywhere just waiting to come down….
The crow. Trying to hide. But I saw him. I SAW him. Fixing me with his baneful eye……
The spider, plump in his sticky web. Waiting to pounce……
The church. All Gothic and shadowy. Probably full of bats and deafening pipe organs…..
A gargoyle and a pentagram together. The witches are nigh. The witches are nigh….
And the moon, full and menacing among the clouds. Watching us all…..
Who says spooky things happening on Friday the 13th is just a silly superstition?

Ha, thanks for encouraging me to sleep with one eye-open tonight Selma.
Always enjoy your perspective there across these ocean.

Hi,
It is not a good sign when crows are looking at you like that on Friday the 13th.
Loved the photos, a fantastic collection for this jinxed Friday. 😀

That’s what I thought, Mags. It definitely did feel a bit jinxed!!

Wonderful reminder that although all those things were there on Thursday the 12th, (maybe the crow might not oblige), the myth of unlucky 13 gave them their spooky quality in the mind.
Sleep easy tonight dear Selma, it’s the 14th, so they’ve all gone away!

We need a bit of rationality on Friday the 13th, Gabe. You just never know what’s lurking behind the corner. But rationality won’t keep the spooks at bay. AAAAARGHHHHH!!!!

All extremely scary. I had to have a glass of wine to calm down. The spider was the worst. You really should have posted some sort of warning label before the horror show.

LOL. I wish I could have had a glass of wine to calm down but as I don’t drink I had to meditate instead and I couldn’t get my chakras in alignment because the windows kept rattling and I heard moaning in the hallway. Eeek 😯

I love that crow pic. I’m a fan of horror movie (not the gross out stuff with intestines & brains all flying & spilling out) so this is cool for me. Nice gargoyles.

I agree with you, Roshan. I like classic horror imagery like churches, ravens, and so on. Blood and guts really isn’t that scary for me. Give me a gargoyle and a darkened sky any day over a raving lunatic with an axe!
