“I think there’s a rich ream of horror, from The Haunting of Hill House to Ghostwatch, that delves into the idea that certain places can simply go wrong – and once these bad environments have been established and ostracised by society, they can’t be exorcised. They simply keep accruing power through the individual stories that play tragically out in their shadow.
“I mention a real-life example of that kind of bad architecture in one episode; the Pope Lick Bridge in Kentucky, a place that looks and feels so sinister that it developed its own local folklore about a goat-man who attacks people who stray too close to the edge – and which has ended up resulting in deaths as visitors peer over the side trying to get a peek at the monster.
“I find this kind of stuff fascinating, because it plays into my own paranoia about environments, and my dislike of ghost stories with explicably human antagonists. Like David says in the first episode, people aren’t frightening. Places are frightening.
“If I’m sitting alone at home on a dark and stormy night, and I glance nervously up towards the bedroom doorway, my fear is not that my house is being haunted by a spirit called Mabel who died in the 19th century at the age of fourteen and is constantly seeking her favourite teddy bear… because all of these details both humanise her and make her ridiculous.
“My fear is that there will be something standing in the doorway, because the doorway is where things come to stand.
“Because unoccupied spaces, in our imaginations, must find something to fill them.”
I met her, and I was blocked by her.

You’ve heard of guerilla gardening. Now get ready for
This is so extremely relevant to my pasture tree research!!
crime pays but botany doesn’t is a treasure trove I love this dude so much, his rage and anger towards invasive species and his passive aggressive statements about the backwards attitudes in the united states has been resonating with me super hard lately. I wish he would do more midwestern botany vids eventually and talk about invasive earthworms in geologically stratified zones and their effective promotion of the negative feed back loops in invasive plants that alter soil chemistry with their allelopathicity.
