‘The Montrose Air Station Ghost’ - Lt Desmond Arthur of the Royal Flying Corps was killed in a tragic accident near Montrose Air Station a year before WW1. A locket was found on his body, containing a portrait of his love, Winsome Ropner. A few years later the ghost of this young officer began to appear in the air station's officers' mess. Over the years many pilots reported seeing the apparition, with some even requesting transfers afterwards. During the Second World War there were stories of ghostly biplanes appearing in the clouds, and even seen to crash, but with no wreckage found on the ground. Winsome Ropner subsequently married, and lived to a ripe old age, but was said never to have forgotten her lost love.

'What Shall I Say' was inspired by arguably the finest supernatural film of all time, 'The Innocents', directed by Jack Clayton and starring Deborah Kerr as the haunted governess of Miles and Flora. Keep watch for the face in your window.

“Conventions are, indeed, all that shield us from the shivering void, though often they do so but poorly and desperately.”

Robert Aickman

about

The Hare And The Moon Scotland, UK

The Hare And The Moon existed between 2009 and early 2017 and are now as ghosts. They lived in the forest and their main occupations were knitting, necromancy, dollmaking and devilry however sometimes they made music too.

Set your controls for the heart of the next closest sun that you can find. This is the soundtrack for transfiguration, divination and disintegration. You will absolutely lose yourself in this psychedelic eddy of drones, swoops, and other-worldly glister. Aurora Borealis is highly redolent of the closing credits for the classic TV show UFO, full of foreboding and a bubbling under the surface menace Paul Sands
