Spooky things

A couple of spooky (and belated) Brontë thingies:

On little, brown book club celebrated last year's Halloween like this:

We've recruited some local actors (from the company Apocalypse Ltd.) to read Charlotte Brontë's Napoleon and The Spectre, one of the chilling tales to be found in The Virago Book of Ghost Stories.
Listen to part one.
Listen to the second and concluding part.

And on blogtalkradio we have found this... erm curious report:

Host Name: privateparanormaleye
Show Name: The Ghost of Emily Bronte and the Ghosts of Wycoller Hall
Date / Length: 11/4/2008 4:30 AM - 15 min

Emily Bronte has been seen dressed in white, wondering on the moors above Haworth as well as in a restaurant in Haworth main Street. Wycoller Hall was used for Thornfield Hall when Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre. Its ruins are full of apparently terrifying ghosts.

Terrifying, no less.

EDIT:
And other (not spooky) alerts for today, February 1:

Laurence Olivier stars as Heathcliff and Merle Oberon is Cathy in this beautiful and haunting adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic tale of brooding passion, set on the moors of 18th century Yorkshire. This film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, but lost most of them to Gone With The Wind (next week’s feature), which swept the awards that year. (If you’ve got to lose, it’s best to lose to one of the best ever!) Director William Wyler and cinematographer Gregg Toland (who did take home an Oscar for his beautifully atmospheric photography) outdo themselves in bringing Bronte’s scenes and characters to life. One of the greatest romantic films of all time!
