The Witness project, a rework of history into the story, took a different direction than anyone should think. It sounds easy to some, complicated to others. In the end, it is something else. It is fun. If the story is from the place, like in this case, from history, a source is needed. I need to study what should happen and then process it. It is a boring part of the work, but necessary.

Lydia’s Story Continued (part 4) A true Story. 19th May 1817 - England had been suffering from poor harvests for at least two years, following the eruption 🌋 of the Tambora Volcano in the spring of 1816. Widespread hunger, malnutrition and increased mortality. Life was difficult for everyone. 1817 was also the year that Sophia Mayhew the elder (my 5th great-grandmother), was due to give birth to her 6th child. Her eldest, Sophia Mayhew the younger was illegitimate and the daughter of her lover, James Rager of Bedingfield. The young Sophia was not treated kindly by her step-father Zackariah Gooderham. This became clear on the morning of 19th May 1817. Sophia the elder had gone into labour, and the birth did not fare well. 🥀 A new baby girl was brought into the world as the mother slipped away from it. 😥 Sophia has died. 🥀 She was buried that same day, her child baptised alongside the funeral. 19th May 1817. Sophia the younger was afraid. Her mother had always been her protector, but now she was gone. She was 13 years old. Just a child. Suddenly she heard the new name given to the baby. To her shock, She was named Sophia. As if this child were her replacement. Two living siblings sharing a name was not common practice in Georgian England, usually one has to die. It meant only one thing, 13 year old Sophia was about to be sent away, cast out of her home in the pouring rain to fend for herself. She was a bastard, The prodigy of a dashing foolish young man, whom the NOW dead Sophia loved. Zackariah hated her for that. With just the clothes on her back and very little in coin. The door to her home closed forever. Young Sophia, #cold #afraid and unsure of the world that lay out before her - set forth on a journey south. She must find shelter, work, food - A new place to call home. Somehow, she will find the strength within. Somehow, she will find it.

I’m a sucker for a Staffordshire dog. These are from our reproduction line, but we have antique ones as well. ***Did you know that they were the quintessential Victorian bourgeois status symbol? In the 1700s every mantle piece had a pair, and wives of sailors would put them in their window sill back to back if the husband was at home. If he was away at sea the dogs were placed facing each other to let any lovers know mama was ready for some bow chicka bow wow sexy time magic. 😍. #HISTORY!! . . #staffordshire #staffordshirehistory #staffordshiredogs #staffordshireporcelaindogs #antiquestaffordshiredogs #reproductionstaffordshiredogs #sailorswife #sexytime #sidefling #porcelaindecor #antiqueporcelain #antiqueporcelaincollector #antiqueporcelainhistory #historyofdecor #historyofdecorativearts #1700decor #mantlepiecedecor #statussymbol #statussymboldecor #interiordesign #interiordecorating #luxuryliving #luxurydecor #chinoiserie #sailorslife #historicalstories #roomtonic #marblehead #boston — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3lqUszo

27th January 1591, Scottish schoolmaster Dr. John Fian is burned for witchcraft during the North Berwick witch trials. Lasting two years, during which 100 people were accused and tortured, the trials were the first major Scottish witchcraft persecution. They had begun after the Scottish King James VI, had sailed to Copenhagen to marry the Danish Princess Anne. Upon their return to Scotland the ship faced strange storms, that convinced the Danish Admiral that the storms were unnatural, and had been summoned into existence by witchcraft. Fian was accused of sorcery and confesed after torture of having a compact with the devil. He was then strangled and burnt on this day. The case was reported in a pamphlet published in 1591, called ‘Newes from Scotland, Declaring the Damnable Life of Dr. Fian, a Notable Sorcerer’. The pamphlet was further published in 1597, as part of King James VI’s dissertation on necromancy titled ‘Daemonologie’. It has been estimated that in Scotland between 1560 to 1707, 3,000 to 4,000 accused witches may have been killed. 29th January 1594, Scottish mathematician, physicist, and astronomer John Napier dedicates his work "Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation of St. John" to King James VI. It is ironic therefore due to the fact that Napier himself was accused by his neighbours of alchemy, and necromancy, the same dark arts that James VI’s work Daemonologie’ would highlight. Napier it was said would travel with a black spider he kept in a box, and also a rooster he had covered in soot to colour it black. In his work of this year, Napier predicted that the end of the world would occur in 1688 or 1700.

The Vampires of Rhode Island Act Two: Sarah Tillinghast, Exeter, Rhode Island, Autumn 1799 - Spring 1800 Part Two of the tragic history of the New England Vampire Panic. The June 1784 edition of the Connecticut Courant and Weekly Intelligencer newspaper displays a letter to the editor warning its readers to beware of ‘quack doctors’ , who proclaim that families who dig up their recently dead relatives and burn them, will be spared more deaths from the deadly disease of consumption. It appears this advice was not followed, especially in rural Rhode Island, and what follows is the history of this unfollowed advice and the folklore that replaced it.

For the last two weeks we have investigated what influences drove Mary Shelley to create the work she is best known by. For this week, Part III, we shall look at how the work potentially affected New England folklore, and seeing as this is the last Thursday Tales before Halloween, the macabre themes suitable for this season will be presented before you. The legend begins in New Hampshire in the last decades of the 18th century where our protagonist Thomas Benton was born in Coventry, New Hampshire. Perhaps alluding to the strength of the legend, Coventry is now named Benton. A gifted child, Benton developed a scientific mindset which saw him studying medicine in Heidelberg Germany, under a brilliant, but eccentric and shunned teacher named Stockmeyer. Becoming a mentor to the young Benton, Professor Stockmeyer shares the hidden aspect of his research, an elixir of life, which would eliminate death. In the first potential influence to the story of Frankenstein aligned with that of the folklore of the White Mountains in New Hampshire, Benton is himself very much alike to that of the young Victor Frankenstein, and his mentor and his pursuits, to that of the character of Dr. Waldman; and possible influence to Mary Shelley, Johann Konrad Dippel, (see last week's post: The Real Frankenstein's Part II). A real life alchemist in pursuit of an elixir of life. In 1779, Professor Stockmeyer died leaving Benton, who had become a protege of his teaching, all his medical notes, and scientific apparatus. Completing his medical study, Benton returned to the newly created country of the United States, after a period in London, and set up a medical practice in Boston.
