Welcome to The Ghostly World of Jonathan Harker
Welcome to Jonathan Harker's ghostly world. Amongst these pages you will find curious weird and wonderful characters ready to bring their strange and bizarre world to entertain, scare and maybe terrify!
Of course nothing is what it seems here at The Ghostly World of Jonathan Harker, but amongst the strange and bizarre there are lighter moments which we will tell you about.
However, for the most part this world consists of spectral beings, ghosts, phantoms and of the lost and dispossessed. It has been very much a part of life since entering into this world. You may think we are haunted souls here at The Ghostly World, perhaps we are, perhaps you will be, once you become part of this place. Indeed visitor we say To Whom It May Concern - Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!
From the diary of Jonathan Harker come two verses jotted down whilst visiting a site said to be repose for lost and lonely souls awaiting death to guide them on their journey and an unfortunate meeting.
The Thorn Bush
If you will allow me a little distraction, I have had recent talks with Professor Edmund Katz. He does intrigue me and all this talk of demons; well I shall be given to nightmares. Of all things the Professor had a book lent to him it seems from Dr Roland Nord. I've met him sometime ago; you can read of my visit here.
Can you believe it a Field Guide to Vampyres. Apparently to protect from the unwelcome attentions of vampyres the thorn bush cannot be underestimated. It seems any thorny plant will do the trick. There are suitable contenders; the hawthorn, bramble, blackthorn and of course wild rose. It seems that roses are particularly a favourite for armoury. Did you know that vampyres may not cross a thicket of wild roses.
Now if you find a vampyre sleeping in its coffin place a branch of wild rose on the top of the coffin lid and there you will imprison the creature. Finally to stop a corpse drinking blood should it ever get the urge to do so, be of strong will or find a likely soul to do this for you, place thorns under its tongue!
