I had the same problem with my first post a few days ago. I've been thinking about moving the list away from Yahoo! Groups, but I doubt that it'd be worth the change of mailing list address. > I'm now working on a book, as sort of updated Spooklights, > written in a folkloric context, which will look at selected > case studies in the UK, Americas and elsewhere. Excellent news! I'm really glad to see that you're still around and publishing, especially since Devereux seems to be more interested in other areas lately--his work with Brookesmith (1997) being the most recent that I know about. I notice that that book cites your work with Granville Oldroyd, "Spooklights - A British Survey" (1985), which seems to have been published privately. Are copies of that work still available, either from you or any other source? > As several members of the UFOlogyinuk forum have expressed an > interest in this area I suggested they subscribe and take part > in more detailed discussions here That's wonderful, thanks ever so much. One question that I've been meaning to ask you for years and years now, ever since I first read your "Peakland Spooklights" article [1], is: where is Meg o'th' Lantern Lane located in modern terms? Does the road even still exist anymore? I don't have access to the copy of the Derbyshire Advertiser & Mercury that you reference, nor have I ever come across any other reference to the lane. But it's a wonderful information point, and I'd love to know more if you have the details easily to hand. [1] http://www.indigogroup.co.uk/edge/Peakland.htm Cheers, -- Sean B.
